Just, uh-- Just normal stuff.

Office stuff.

I have a computer.

I have a desk and a chair.

I have a lamp.

All right. Well, that's something

we have to check out.

But I can't go over there.

The police are outside.

Well, I'm gonna do that.

You want me to help you?

Then let me help you.

What else am I gonna do?

Water? Rake? Come on.

So, this is what we're gonna do.

- You're gonna go to MacArthur Park?

- MacArthur Park.

And you're gonna call your boss

and try to get the money, all right?

And I'm gonna go over to your house

and check out your--

No, you can't go over there

because the police are outside.

- And if they see--

- Let me figure that out.

That's my problem, okay?

So, you can't take your car.

There's no way, 'cause

they know your car, right?

- Yeah.

- Take mine. Come on.

Let's go.

It needs gas.

Hey.

...in the vicinity of Figueroa.

Unit 27, Code 10, please.

Unit 27, ETA seven minutes.

Look, we gotta get moving.

We've gotta get this thing done.

Then we'll aim for less than an hour.

Keep me posted.

I wanna know the instant we get it.

- This is Edward.

- Edward.

- Hey, it's me.

- Tony, we've been looking for you.

- Is that Tony?

- Listen, something's happened.

- Let me talk to him.

- What is it? What happened?

Sofia's been kidnapped, Edward.

What?

Yeah.

Hold on.

Give me a second.

- Start over.

- When I got to the house,

I checked the answering machine,

and there was a message,

and they said that if I didn't have

$50,000 at MacArthur Park

in the next 64 minutes,

that they're gonna kill her.

What? Who?

Edward--

Edward, is that Garnett?

Hey, don't-- don't tell him--

that we're talking

and what's going on.

They said that if I involve anybody,

that they're gonna kill her.

- Don't worry. Where are you?

- I'm heading to the park.

- Can I call you back on this number?

- Yeah.

I'll call you right back.

How are we supposed to negotiate

when our general counsel is AWOL?

Sumner?

Jeez.

Yeah?

Hey, anything?

No. I just got in here.

Let me look around a second.

Well, if someone was here,

the police probably

scared them away.

So, let's-- let's walk

through this again.

You came home,

and then what?

I got home,

I checked the message,

uh, and then, uh-- and then

I went and looked for Sofia.

And the door to your office

was open then, right?

Yeah. And then when I didn't find her,

I went back down to the kitchen,

and then I got the number.

I wrote down the number.

Is it 310-555-7950?

Yeah. Give me that--

Give me that number again.

Cool.

Thanks.

I'm gonna call you back.

Yeah?

Tony, I've got Mr. Garnett

on the line. Edward took off.

- Can you talk?

- No, not right now.

What should I tell him?

Tony, he said

that if your job was at all

important to you, that you--

Listen, Janet, I can't deal

with this right now, all right?

Uh, if, uh-- Just--

Just tell Garnett--

that you can't-- you can't get

ahold of me, okay?

Tony, he's really pissed off.

To--

Mr. Garnett,

I'm sorry, sir.

I can't seem to reach him.

Mm-hmm.

Janet--

Tony, it's Edward.

Oh, hey, Edward.

God, I'm sorry. I-- It's--

Garnett's got Janet just tracking me down.

It's driving me crazy.

You let me deal with him.

Take a deep breath.

Edward, I don't know

what I'm gonna do.

I don't know.

I'm freaking out.

Sofia means everything to me,

and I'm just-- I'm--

I'm freaking out.

We'll take care of this--

you and I.

Wait. Wait, Edward.

What about the meeting?

You can't just leave the meeting.

I can and I did.

Now, where are we?

- I need to wire $21 ,000.

- Twenty-one thousand.

- That's how much I'm short.

- Okay. All right.

I thought I had more, but Sofia--

Sofia handles the money, and I--

It's-- We don't--

That's what we have.

It's all right.

I'm here to help.

Now, what else?

I don't know.

That's it?

You know what?

I have a phone number.

I don't know if it means

anything, but, uh--

I don't know. Maybe we can track it

to an address or something.

Give it to me.

All right. Call me back.

Tony, it's Edward.

That phone number you gave me

is to an office downtown.

- Corner of Maple and Highland.

- You already got it?

Yeah, I called in a favor.

Uh, now what about

that wire transfer?

- What about it?

- How do I do it?

Give me a minute. I'll figure it out.

I'll call you back.

Look, I can just call Janet-- Darn.

Tony West's office.

Janet? Hey, Janet, it's me.

Listen, I need your help.

I need to know how to wire

money off of a credit card.

What?

I need to wire $21 ,000

off of a credit card.

Tony, what's going on here?

You're avoiding Mr. Garnett.

You're looking for money.

Oh, jeez. You wouldn't--

You wouldn't believe me if I told you.

- Try me.

- Look, Sofia's been kidnapped, okay?

And if I don't bring them the money

in less than an hour, they're gonna kill her.

Oh, my God.

Look, I need your help, all right?

Now, I-- There was a Stern Union

somewhere down by the park,

but I need to know how to get

the money wired there.

Oh, okay.

Tony, I'm so sorry.

- I'll call you back, okay?

- Call me back.

Sumner, go ahead.

Okay. I'm in.

So, is this yours

or your wife's office?

It's mine mostly. Why?

Well, then it probably

doesn't have

anything to do

with your wife, right?

Whoa.

Hey, I think someone

was on your computer,

'cause it's warm.

Uh, Anthony, was there anything

you were involved in?

Uh, nothing. I mean,

I'm general counsel

for a pharmaceuticals company.

- That's it.

- Okay.

So why would someone kidnap

someone over pharmaceuticals?

Well, I don't know. Maybe...

- What?

- Money?

Well, how much money?

Fifty grand.

No, no, no.

In pharmaceuticals, how much?

Listen, even the-- even the smallest

drug campaign generally--

You know, it costs north of,

like, 200 million.

Right. So why would someone

kidnap someone for $50,000

when there's even a bigger

pot of gold to be had?

I don't-- I don't get that.

- What's on it?

- On what?

Your computer.

What's on it?

Well-- You know, nothing.

I mean, e-mails and files.

You know what?

I got a file--

I had a file e-mailed

to me this morning.

It was huge.

It was totally corrupted,

and it crashed my computer.

Okay. I'll check on that.

So what--

All right. Hang on for a second.

Yeah?

Tony, it's Edward.

I just spoke with Janet.

She, uh-- She told me

about the wire transfer.

I'll do it as soon as I hang up.

It'll be there when you arrive.

Great, Edward.

I can't thank you enough.

What else is going on?

You know the guys

that broke into the house?

They didn't take anything. They didn't

go through the jewelry or anything.

You mean they just wanted her?

Maybe. I don't know. I...

We're not really sure yet.

"We"?

Yeah. Yeah-- No-- I have a--

I have a neighbor helping me.

Your neighbor?

No, his name is-- is--

is Sumner, Sumner Cavic.

He's a-- He's a friend.

Tony, who else have you told?

Only Janet. Why?

Are you sure you can trust these people?

Yeah, Edward. Of course.
