Megan! Where's my daugh--

[ Gasps ]

Mom!

What do you want from me?

Where are we?

I don't know.

- [ Joe ] We're all hostages.

- [ Charlie ] I don't get it.

What kind of

a kidnapping is this?

Biometric implants.

We're all carrying a load

of tranquilizer around.

You walk past

a certain point out there,

you trigger the implant.

Joe? Joe--

[ Loud Clanging ]

[ Screaming ]

- Okay, I'm almost done.

- [ Joe Grunts ]

They've got it

right up against the muscle,

so you've gotta hold still.

[ Screams ]

Okay. Almost done.

[ Screams, Panting ]

- [ Screams ]

- Okay. Okay. I got it.

I got it.

[ Joe Grunts ]

Got it.

[ Grunts ]

[ Rhythmic Buzzing ]

- Okay. Who's next?

- Me.

- Let me just stitch him up.

- [ Joe Grunts ]

[ Panting ]

[ Gasping ]

Just one more. One more.

You ready?

[ Crying ]

[ Crying ]

Oh, God!

[ Crying Continues ]

Wait, wait!

Wait a minute! Wait!

A five-foot lead

should give me enough room

to pull you back...

if anything happens

like before.

Take it slow.

We can't be sure

it was the implant that

actually knocked us out.

[ Joe ]

Am I good?

You're good. You're good.

Yep.

Ahh. All right.

You're there at the spot.

You're sure this is

where we collapsed?

Mark it.

Now, take

another step slowly.

All right, mark it.

Looking good.

Looking good.

All right, mark it.

Looking good.

Looking good.

All right, mark it.

Looking good.

Looking good.

All right.

Mark another one.

Hey! Hey, hold up, Janet!

Hold up!

Hey, let go!

Let go! Let go!

- Hey, hey, hey!

- Hold up, Janet! Janet!

Hey! Hey!

[ Screams ]

[ Screaming ]

[ Joe Groans ]

- [ Groans ]

- [ Screams ]

[ Grunts ]

[ Exhales ]

Listen.

All I want

is to see my daughter.

Whatever this is,

whatever you want--

there must be something,

anything.

I need to know

that she's all right.

Just give me a chance

to make sure she's safe,

and then I'll do

whatever you say.

I'm begging you. Please.

Please.

Pretty weird.

What?

It's like I never

even busted it.

Yeah. Same with

the dresser and, uh--

- In fact, everything's been

cleaned up and put away.

- And the bed's made.

Ah, those metal shutters

on the window, gone.

Yeah. All without a sound.

There's more than the night

manager and those guys at the

Chinese restaurant around here.

- But where are they?

- [ Chuckles ]

If I think about it too much,

I'm just gonna go crazy, so--

You don't think that that's

what they want, do you?

- Do you?

- I don't know.

I mean, it doesn't make sense.

But what has so far?

[ Quiet Gasp ]

[ Exhales ]

You okay?

Yeah, I'm okay.

I think the others

are waiting for us.

[ Speaks Chinese ]

Please, all of you, enjoy.

Fish

is fresh, delicious.

Please, enjoy.

Okay. What the hell

was that out there?

Uh, most likely an A.D.S.

Say what?

Active Denial System.

It transmits

high-intensity microwaves.

Stimulates the water

molecules in your skin.

It's the same technology

they use to reheat a burrito

at 7-Eleven,

except you're the burrito.

[ McNair ]

Military deployed them in Iraq,

mostly for crowd control.

I mean, it won't kill you,

but it delivers enough hurt...

that it'll make you

wish it did.

Okay. So they've got

these pain guns covering

all the exits out of town.

Probably around the perimeter

of the town, likely positioned

somewhere on the edge of town.

- Well, that's that then.

- There's gotta be a way

to disarm it.

It's definitely beatable.

We need to do some recon first.

Figure out how many there are

and, more importantly,

where they're located.

I still don't understand

the why of it all.

- Why they're doing this to us?

- I keep telling you, ransom.

It's the only reason

to keep us alive.

Or we're on

some twisted reality show

in Dubai or something.

[ Chuckles ]

These cameras around here?

Bunch of towel heads are

probably laughing their asses

off right now,

watching the infidels

screaming with pain.

I know why I'm here.

My father.

And who the hell

is your father?

U.S. ambassador to Italy.

Franklin Fairchild?

The former head of the C.I.A.

is your father?

Wait a minute.

Why would your father

want to kidnap us?

I said

that's why I'm here.

The rest of you will have to

figure out who put you here

for yourselves.

[ Chuckling ]

What could you

have possibly done...

to make your father want to

throw you into a town...

surrounded by

face-melting pain guns?

Things.

Well, I'll tell you what

I think we should do.

I think we should go beat the

crap out of the night manager

the second he comes on duty.

The point of that is what?

'Cause he's obviously

one of 'em.

I couldn't agree more.

He seems to be the only one

who knows more than we do.

And nothing like

a couple of broken knuckles

to, uh, motivate cooperation.

- [ McNair ]

We're not doing that.

- The hell we're not.

- There's no reason to do that.

- He doesn't know any more

than we do.

- He already told us that.

- Exactly. He told us.

The sergeant's right.

We need to figure out

who we're dealing with first.

- Figure out this town.

- I agree.

Same here.

Sergeant.

All right.

[ Exhales ]

You, take

the eastern quadrant.

You two, the west.

You, the southern end of town.

And I'll take the north.

Check the buildings.

Are there any basements?

Are there any maps

of the surrounding area?

Anything that might

give us a clue.

Two hours max.

We meet back here,

put together what we know.

Any questions?

Uh, yeah. What Rambo movie

did you just pop out of?

[ Snickering ]

[ Laughing ]

[ Renbe ]

I-- I don't get it.

How do you guys come up

with child abandonment?

You've got

the surveillance tapes.

They're showing nothing

that could be called even

remotely conclusive.

No, no. By all accounts,

this woman was a good,

dedicated mother.

I mean, come on, Robert.

There's something bigger

going on here.

What angle are you

looking for exactly?

Alien abduction?

Funny. You interviewed

the grandmother, right?

Yes.

- You didn't pick up

anything odd there?

- Really?

Oh, come on.

The grandmother

is beyond scary.

There's no

material connection...

between the mother's

disappearance

and the grandmother.

Can you at least see

if there's something

in the archives?

Pretty busy here,

but... I'll see

what I can do.

Hi.

Hi.

- How's your day going?

Can I get you anything?

- It's okay.

Latte? Pedicure?

No. I... think I'm good.

Let me tell you why

you're not good.

I have been patiently waiting

for an update on the headless

homeless story.

I'm on it.

No, you're not on it.

I know what you're doing.

You're diddling around with

this dead-end, go-nowhere

missing mom story.

There's something kind of

weird about it all, Kat.

[ Sighs ]

I know this routine.

This is where you

try and convince me

what a great story this is.

Because it is.

And not just a great story,

but a story with legs.

Multiple

front-page spreads.

Weeks of 'em.

I don't know what's

gotten into you, Renbe.

For five years,

you've been the king of sick,

and I've loved you for it,

because you've made

my job so easy.

Well--

Stick with what

you're good at.

Leave the legitimate stories

to the real journalists, okay?

[ Clicks Tongue ]

I expect a 10-pound bag

of steaming sleaze on my desk

by the end of the day.

No excuses.

[ Unsteady Breathing ]

[ Gasps ]

[ Drawers Sliding ]

[ Clears Throat ]

A man after

my own heart.

To hell with the grunt

and his perimeter search.

[ Laughs ]

My name's Blackham,

by the way.

Bill Blackham.

I don't know if I've

properly introduced myself.

Charlie Morse.

So what's the plan,

Mr. Morse?

Oh, I think you know,

Mr. Blackham.

[ Laughing ]

We wait for the night

manager to show up,

and then we--

Oh. Well, here's

a pleasant surprise.

Ah!

[ Laughs ]

Cognac, Mr. Blackham?

- Don't mind if I do.

- Huh?

Well, here's to success...

and, uh, freedom.

Amen to that, brother.

Amen to that.

[ Gasps, Grunts ]

Come on.

Soldier boy back there said we

had to explore every building

we could get into.

What's the difference

if I grab something to wear?

So-- What?

You're a doctor

or something?

Psychiatrist actually.

But I did an E.R. rotation

in medical school.

Huh.

What do you think?

Me? I don't know.

I'm not-- [ Chuckles ]

I'm not really qualified

in the fashion department.

Yeah, it's a little retro.

Oh, what the hey.

Hey, they're watching,

you know?

Yeah.

So?

[ Laughing ]

I'm just saying.

Whoo!

[ Laughing ]

Here, you creepy pervs.

Get your nads off on these.

[ Laughing ]

Whoo!

Come on, Doc.

Let's find you

something to wear.

Moira.

Call me Moira.

Moira.

Hmm. Cool name.

Thanks.

[ Janet ]

That's depressing.

[ Joe ] But manageable.

Meaning it's not miles

of ocean or barbwire.

Trees.

Trees are... well, trees.

Yeah, only with pain guns

and God knows what else.

God has nothing to do

with this place.

So you believe in God?

Take it you don't?

You know you have a maddening

way of answering a question

with another question?

Are you aware of that?

I'm sorry. I--

I don't mean to.

Yes. I believe

there's a God.

All I know is, I'm not waiting

around for divine intervention

to get out of here.

The only thing

I know is,

every second that I spend here,

my daughter's at risk.

Megan?

Megan? Where are you?

In here, Nana.

[ Sighs ]

You look like

you're having fun.

Oh. Sweetheart,

were you playing

with Nana's puzzle?

- Yes, Nana.

- Because I'm missing

a few pieces.

And a jigsaw puzzle,

it just isn't very good if

it's missing pieces, is it?

No.

No.

Sweet pea,

when you finish playing,

come find Nana,

and we're gonna have

a little talk about respecting

other people's property.

All right?

Okay.

Every way out of town

is covered by the pain guns.

No surprise there.

We couldn't see anything

from the balcony.

Just lots of trees.

Trees?

Yeah, for miles.

The A.D.S.s are

well camouflaged, but they're

definitely out there.

Trust me.

I felt every one of them.

Well, I guess we need

to find an off switch.

Or else come up

with a Plan "B."

I don't understand

you people.

- That man over there--

he knows.

- Totally.

We can bang our head against

that pain wall all day,

but I guarantee you,

with the right persuasion,

that bastard over there

will lead us all the hell

out of here.

[ Clears Throat ]

Excuse me.

I just wanted to mention

that dinner will be served

in one hour.

You might want

to freshen up.

Where is dinner tonight?

- At the Shanghai Palace,

right across the street.

- Not again!

Yes, sir.

Well, I don't know

about you guys,

but I am in desperate need

of a spa day,

or at least a shower.

- You going to dinner?

- You?

Yeah. I'll see you there.

See you there.

[ Bill ]

So, uh, Charlie,

you want to go--

[ Continues,

Indistinct ]

[ Knocking ]

[ Gasps ]

Yeah?

It's me, Moira.

I'll be there in a sec.

Hi.

Well, don't you

look amazing.

Thanks. Aren't you

coming to dinner?

I am.

But look at this.

It just showed up

in my room.

May I?

Sure.

Wow.

Vanessa cardui

chrysalis.

The painted lady

butterfly.

Well, cocoon right now.

But you see the--

the colors starting on

the edges of the pupa?

It means she's ready

to come out soon.

Is it poisonous?

No, no, no.

It's quite common.

It's found all over the world.

[ Chuckles ]

You seem to know

a lot about it.

Yeah. I like to read

about different things.

Did you put it in here?

Did you sneak into my room

and put this... bug

in here, Moira?

Why would I?

[ Scoffs ]

How could I?

I suppose you couldn't.

[ Chuckles ] It is just

like my sick jerk of a father

to torture me with a metaphor!

Could you be

any more obvious?

No, no, no, no. No.

Please don't.

I don't want it in here.

It creeps me out.

I'll take care of it.

Please.

Whatever.

[ Clears Throat ]

Hello, gentlemen.

How may I be of assistance?

[ Camera Whirring ]

[ Clicks ]

[ Voice Filtered ]

This is your answer?

This is what you want?

[ Night Manager ]

Help me!

Help me, please, somebody!

Help me, please! Help me!

Please, gentlemen.

Hey!

If I knew anything--

We're getting pretty tired

of your bull, bud! Now walk!

Please.

They'll kill me.

They don't care about me.

I'm just the same as you.

- Move it!

- Go!

[ McNair ]

Hey! Stand down!

You had your chance.

We're handling this now.

- Help me? Please?

- Blackham, put the gun down.

- Eat me!

- He's one of them.

I'm not. I swear.

They're not gonna fry

one of their own.

All we have to do

is push him past the edge.

- They turn off the pain gun,

we rush out right behind him!

- [ Joe ] It won't work.

The hell it won't!

They're watching us

all the time.

You think if he was one

of them, they wouldn't have

intervened by now? Huh?

Especially since you guys

have been beating

the living crap out of him.

He's our ticket out. There's

nothing that's gonna stop us

from pushing him out the--

Oh! Ow! Ow!

Come on!

Oh! Ow!

- Oh, God!

All right. All right.

- [ Joe ] Okay. Okay.

Okay. Ow!

- I'm sorry about all this.

- [ Bill Groaning ]

All right? Smarten up.

- Wha-- Where's he going?

- I knew it!

Did you see that?

[ Grunts, Screaming ]

[ Screaming Continues ]

- [ Grunts, Screams ]

- [ Charlie Screaming ]

Ah--

I'm sorry. Sorry.

This'll take

the sting out.

Oh, no. Too early.

Not for me.

[ Laughs ]

Hey, hey!

So what's

your plan now, mastermind?

Now that you've messed up

our last best chance

at escaping this hellhole.

He's right.

Damn it.

Maybe.

You think we should've

tortured this guy

until he cracked?

Even if he was one of 'em,

torture wouldn't have worked.

Never does.

Yeah, I agree.

But if we'd planned it

a little more carefully,

we might've had a shot of

at least one of us escaping.

What do they say?

Tilt your head back.

- Hindsight has 20/20 vision?

- Something like that, I guess.

The trick is to stay alert,

stay frosty.

Is that it, Sergeant?

And pray to

the God of your choice

for guidance, sir.

That's easier said

than done.

Then you're not

trying hard enough,

if you don't mind me saying.

[ Thunderclaps ]

Daddy, I know the truth.

We'll talk about this

later, shall we?

I know the truth.

You're gonna pay.

He's really a very nice man

if you don't get to know him!

[ Knocking ]

It's open.

Hey.

[ Groans ]

You okay?

I feel like

I have a hangover,

but I haven't had

a drop to drink

since I got here.

You think maybe

that Chinese food's

loaded with something?

[ Thunder Rumbling ]

I think you might be

suffering from depression.

It's a pretty stressful

situation for all of us.

That's an understatement.

I want to show you

something.

- I think it might

cheer you up.

- Okay.

Look.

Isn't she amazing?

Yeah.

Yeah, it kind of is.

I think we should

set her free.

I think that would be

very therapeutic

for both of us.

Spoken like a true shrink.

[ Chuckling ]

Yeah, well.

[ Thunderclap ]

I'd like to do that, Moira.

I really would.

Me too.

[ Chattering ]

♪ [ Rock ]

♪ [ Man Singing Rock, Faint ]

I have a nice pension

waiting for me in two years.

I don't know why I risk it

for the likes of you.

Because you're my friend?

We're anything

but friends, Renbe.

Well, then it must be

because you owe me.

God, I hate you.

What do you got?

There's some ugly stuff

in there, Mark. Real ugly.

About Janet Cooper?

Well, not so much about her,

but what happened to her.

Most of it is juvie.

Only a court order from

Moses himself will ever get

that information unsealed.

But there's enough other stuff

to get the point across.

Like?

Read it for yourself.

I tell you one thing though.

This lady has been

through the wringer.

Know about her husband?

Husband? No.

Or ex-husband.

Not sure which.

[ Chuckles ]

True piece of work.

Took off and left her

while she was pregnant

with the kid.

Total scumbag,

if you ask me.

I'd love to put

a 10-year collar on him.

As always, you didn't

get it from me.

- I'll take that,

thank you very much.

- Who the hell are you?

No one you really

want to know.

- Now give me

the envelope, please.

- Go screw yourself.

And I asked you

so nice too.

There's no respect

for civility these days.

[ Groans ]

Now, I've got

about enough patience

to ask you one more time.

Give me the envelope.

Attaboy.

- What's the big deal?

- Let's just say I have a client

who'd stop at nothing...

to make sure that none of

this information gets into

that filthy rag of yours.

Like Janet Cooper's mother?

Now, you see, Mr. Renbe,

it's questions like that...

that are gonna be

the death of you.

[ Thunderclaps ]

[ Moira ]

You know, Tori found

a chrysalis in her room,

in a jar.

- A what?

- A chrysalis.

- Uh--

- Pupa.

[ Mumbles ]

I don't know.

Cocoon.

It just showed up,

like magic.

Really?

It just showed up?

It was next to

that damn fortune

I got the other night.

"You will soon win

a high prize or award."

Anyone else just have

something show up

in their room?

[ Thunder Rumbling ]

No. Nothing.

No.

Of course not.

It's just my father

messing with me.

- So you think this is

all about you, don't you?

- Pretty much, yeah.

[ Loud Thunderclap ]

[ Charlie ]

Whoa! Whoa!

What was that?

Whoa.

[ Charlie ]

What the hell was that?

[ McNair ]

I think it's the pain gun.

At least the explosion came frm

where the pain gun should be.

What are you saying?

The lightning took it out?

Looks that way.

- What are we waiting for then?

- Hey! Where are you going?

Let me go!

[ Joe ]

Where are you going?

The van.

We should take the van.

- How do we get the keys?

- I can hot-wire it.

Hello! Used car salesman.

We don't have much time.

They'll figure out

the A.D.S. is down.

We don't know

how many more

are out there.

- All right. We need to

create a distraction.

- I can do that.

Okay, let's go!

Go. Go, go, go!

Come on! Hurry up.

Uh, you want something?

[ Speaking Chinese ]

- [ Screaming ]

- Please, wait!

How we help you?

How we can help you?

Please, stop!

[ Screaming Continues ]

Moira, how we can help you?

Okay, please stop.

We get you something.

We help you.

- Okay, got it.

- [ Tori ] Wait! Stop!

- No damn way, sister!

- Moira's in the restaurant!

You have to.

- [ Joe ] Stop, stop.

- Just do it.

[ Joe ]

Go, go, go, go, go!

Hurry up!

- Come on!

- [ McNair ] Let's go!

Let's go! Let's go!

Come on. Go, go, go!

[ Joe ]

Get out of here! Go!

[ Shouting

In Chinese ]

[ Joe ]

Hey! Come on, Charlie!

How do we know

that damn thing is shut off?

We don't. Come on.

Okay.

Get in.

Go, go!

[ Tires Squealing ]

[ Electricity Crackling ]

Hey.

That's a new one.

[ Tori Laughs ]

And we made it

through.

[ Laughing ]

[ Bill Laughs ]

[ Cheering, Whooping ]

[ Doorbell Buzzing ]

Do you have any idea

what time it is?

Sorry, boss.

Where've you been?

I was worried about you.

I just want to let you know

I'm bailing out

on the missing mom story.

What changed your mind?

It was a dead end,

just like you said

it would be.

What's this?

I, uh, clunked my head

on the refrigerator door.

I know what to do

to make it better.

That's what I

was counting on.

[ Bill ]

I'll tell you what

I'm gonna do.

When I get home,

I'm gonna eat the biggest damn

T-bone I can get my hands on.

We need to get as far away

from here as this tank of gas

will take us first.

Right, Sergeant?

And then some, sir.

On foot, if we have to.

Hey, call me Joe, okay?

Sorry. Habit.

Name's Graham.

Graham McNair.

Good to know you, Graham.

Likewise, sir-- Joe.

[ Chuckles ]

Well, somebody's

gonna pay for this.

Yeah?

Yeah.

If it takes me

the rest of my life,

whoever did this to us

is gonna pay.

You got that right.

That was pretty smart,

what you did back there.

What?

You scared

the living crap out

of those guys.

I guess I did.

And managed to save

our collective asses.

Hey, hey, hey, hey.

What?

What's that?

Huh.

What is that?

Don't stop.

- Don't stop!

- What are you doing?

There's something

not right about this.

[ Charlie ]

It could be help!

Hey, hey, hey.

Look, we're gonna

crash into it!

Drive. Just drive.

[ Bill ]

You're gonna kill us all!

[ Janet ] Keep going!

[ Bill ]

Come on! Come on!

[ Gasps ]

[ Thunderclap ]

[ Van Door Opens ]

Good evening.

Looks as if the rain

is letting up.

Should be

a beautiful day tomorrow.

[ Exhales ]

[ Thunder Rumbling ]

[ Chuckles ]

Would you look at that?

[ Electricity Crackling ]

Figures.

No, Tori, Tori.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

I thought that that would--

You thought wrong,

didn't you?

Don't sweat it.

You're just one more shrink

in a long line of 'em that's

tried their voodoo on me.

No, I'm--

I'm not a psychiatrist.

Say what?

I'm a patient.

A psychiatric patient.

Or at least I was

until I came here.

At St. Mary's Hospital

in Sandusky, Ohio.

[ Chuckles ]

This gets better

and better.

I'm sorry.

I have truth issues,

but I-I will be better,

I promise.

Please. I'm sorry.

Yeah.

I'm sorry.

[ Phone Rings ]

[ Rings ]

Hello?

[ Static, Buzzing ]

Hello?

Hello.

Who is this?

Mommy?

Megan, baby. Is that you?

Yes, Mommy.

Where are you?

Where are you?

Are you okay, baby?

Megan?

Mommy?

Where are you, baby?

Are you okay?

Mommy?

Where are you?

Sweet pea.

Please don't pick up

the phone by yourself.

Hello? Who is this?

Hello?

Hello?

Hello, Mother.

I-I can't hear you.

Who is this?

- Hello.

- Hello!

- I-- I can't hear you.

- Mother! Mother!

There's so much static.

Megan!

- Mommy!

- Megan!

- Megan!

- Mom!

Megan!

Where are you?

[ Line Goes Dead ]

[ Handset Settles

In Cradle ]

[ Pounding ]

Just a second.

Hey!

What are you doing, Janet?

Janet, Janet, Janet.

Look.

Put the gun down.

What is this?

You tell me.

Janet, this is not the way.

Okay? Listen to me.

Put the gun down.

My daughter's in danger, Joe.

I understand. I promise you

we're gonna do everything we can

to get out of here.

We've tried everything.

You have to believe

there's a way out.

Janet, you have to believe.

Stop talking!

Stop, please.

Is this what you want?

I shoot this guy,

and I go free?

I leave this place,

I get my daughter back,

and we all live

happily ever after.

- Is that it? Just like that?

- Janet.

- Don't... move.

- You don't want to do this.

This isn't gonna

help your daughter.

Just think about it.

You don't want to do this.

You-- You don't-- Look at me.

- You don't want to do this.

- Oh!

- [ Gunshots ]

[ Unsteady Breathing ]

[ Grunts ]

We are not a bunch

of rats in a maze!

We're human beings.

[ Voice Filtered ]

And I'm done

playing your sick games.

And if anything happens

to my daughter--

anything--

you're gonna wish

you killed me on day one.
