[ADMINISTRATOR] Eduardo Deacon.

[EDDIE] Eddie.

Division, Eddie?

3rd battalion, 5th Marines.

Deployments?

Three. 2011... 2014.

Dates of leave?

Three consecutive tours.

Sangin, huh?

Was it as bad as they say?

Yeah.

Injuries? Anything you're not physically capable of doing?

None.

Anything you don't like doing?

I like it all.

You like cleaning toilets?

I do anything.

Uh-huh. All of your psyche evals have been passed, correct?

Yes, yes, ma'am.

Okay, so here's the deal.

I have you in our database...

so the trip wasn't for nothing, okay?

We just don't have anything...

that matches your skill-set right now.

What about the job I came in for?

Filled a week ago.

But I saw it on the website two days ago.

I know. There's a lag in our system and it gets frustrating.

Listen, I've been home a year.

I haven't worked a single day.

My piece of shit car is literally falling apart.

My kid and my wife are two states away...

so when I tell you I will do anything, ma'am...

I mean, anything.

Listen, I go through this every day...

and it never gets any easier.

Just do me a favor.

Plug minimum wage into my profile there.

But you're a Captain, so you're entitled to...

I can't wait around for what I'm entitled to.

I need this now.

Have a nice day.

(SOFT MUSIC PLAYING)

Wait, hold on!

Minimum wage, the hours are shit...

and it's at least another 40 minutes away from here.

Oh, it doesn't matter.

The thing is, it didn't show up because that box...

that says you passed your psyche evals wasn't ticked.

Must have been a clerical mistake.

Must have been.

Thank you.

You start tonight.

I'm on it.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING)

All-wheel drive, as requested, armored, serviced last week.

Precious cargo?

Back seat of car 2.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC FADES UP)

MAN (OVER RADIO) Turning onto 1A now.

How's the witness? Over.

[AGENT] Sleeping like a baby.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC CONTINUES)

We're not getting into Cedar City for another hour or 40...

Not in this weather.

Yeah, right... we'll be lucky if...

Hello?

Call dropped.

Bri, check your phone, please.

I'm dead, too. Must be the storm.

1A is supposed to be locked down, right?

Affirmative. Why?

Be advised, we got company back here.

Car one, this is two. Oncoming vehicle in the passing lane.

We got an ID?

Car 3...

Car 3, do you copy?

The radios are down.

Something's not right.

See that?

(OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYING)

What the fuck?

Move, move, move!

Bri, cover me!

Get out of the car! Now!

Listen to me!

When I say, you run to those woods.

Don't look back! Don't stop until you find someone!

Now, go! Go, go, go!

(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING)

Okay! Okay!

(MUSIC STOPS)

We got 9 out of 10. Target's not here.

Clean this up.

(THUNDER ROLLING)

VALERIE (OVER PHONE) Hello.

Val.

VALERIE (OVER PHONE) Eddie?

Where are you?

Uh, listen, I may have found a job.

VALERIE (OVER PHONE) That's... yeah, that's so good.

Where?

It's not close.

I'll have to be here for a little bit.

VALERIE (OVER PHONE) Are you okay?

Eddie?

Um... I'm good, yeah.

VALERIE (OVER PHONE) Because the V.A.'s been sending...

I'm okay, really.

VALERIE (OVER PHONE) There are doctors here who can help.

Val! Val! I'm coming back.

I just have to work through some stuff.

VALERIE (OVER PHONE) Silvie's here.

She asks about you all the time.

Just tell her that I love her. Bye.

(ENGINE STOPS)

(SOFT MUSIC PLAYING)

(WHISTLES)

Can I help you?

Eddie Deacon, here about the job.

Ah.

Paperwork?

Yeah.

Thank you.

Okay. It's $11.50 an hour. Health after 60 days.

No overtime. Two 15-minute breaks per 8-hour shift.

You got it?

Yeah.

Okay.

So, Eddie Deacon, this is Ridgeside Mall.

Currently walking through Montclair's department store...

flagship location... in all its glory.

Broke ground, 1986... updated, never.

Why would you? It's got it all.

Mens wear, kids wear, ladies wear, cosmetics.

Crappy sporting goods section.

Some other shit... oh, can's down at the end.

Keep it clean.

Oh, Command HQ.

Eyes and ears of the whole place.

Uh, we got a corner cubby set up for you right in there.

Label it on your own time.

Hm... serious?

Weird, it usually doesn't do that, must be the weather.

Anyway, let me introduce you to the team.

I'm Vance, Shift Supervisor, overnight crew...

aka... The Boss.

This happy little princess here is Mason.

Don't bother learning his name...

because he's too good for the job, isn't he?

Gonna go off and sell real estate or some shit.

Appraisals.

Ah, anyway... he's just here to bring home the bacon, so...

As if there were any other reason to be here.

So that's why we call him Mason Bacon.

You're the only one who calls me that.

And nobody thinks it's funny.

He gets it, man, he gets it.

Hey, hey, girl. How you feeling? You feeling better?

Touch me and I'll puke, Vance, I swear to God.

Okay.

Thanks.

Do you need anything? Can I get you a water or...

Cover me for an hour, please. I'll owe you.

That's good, you just lay down for a minute. Yeah.

Uh, that brings us neatly to the uh, containment facility...

that we have over here.

And uh, um, in your bed over there, that is Ruby.

She's done two double-shifts in three days...

so we're gonna cut her some slack. Aren't we, bacon?

Like we have any choice.

You cannot wake her up with a bullhorn.

(THUNDER CRASHES)

See.

Not a fan of the thunder, huh? Really?

How do you feel about the lightning?

Oh, my God.

I'm showing him the thing. Pretty cool right?

30 days and a safety course...

you can get one of these of your very own.

Right? Until then, gonna have to watch me.

Oh, there is one more person. Let me just give him a call.

Hey, Johnny!

VANCE (OVER RADIO) How you doing, my man?

Where you at, bro? Over.

In the balls. Over.

Uh, that would be Zone D.

Use the proper nomenclature or get docked. Over.

Yeah, yeah.

That's uh, "Johnny" Zhang Wei, or as I like to call him...

"Can't Stay" Wei. Right?

Guy friggin lives to make the rounds.

In the balls?

Hm? Oh, um, yeah, I mean, you know...

people think that uh kinda looks like a cock and balls.

But obviously, it looks like a gun. Right?

Yeah, anyway, so we should uh, we should give you the tour.

5 zones; A through E.

Uh, Montclair's, that place you came in through.

That's Zone A.

Other thing I want to do is get suited and booted.

Looking nice.

Get that on, take for the rest.

First up, Zone B... Shopper's Row.

You know why they call it Shopper's Row?

'Cause this is where all the shopping happens.

Want to buy something nice for your sweetie?

This is the place to do it.

Zone C... the Food Court.

Everything in here will kill you, seriously.

Bring your own food.

Just around the corner there...

you've got a beautiful view of the car park.

Only thing that happens there is America's finest come in...

they shine their lights around like they're doing something.

They just drive off and don't do shit.

Zone D... now this is usually my least favorite part of the tour.

But recently they just installed this new competition...

for this baby over here.

Best part is once a week we get to drive it around...

so the battery doesn't go flat.

So if you play your cards right...

you might get a ride on El Fuego.

It's not its real name, it's a name I made up.

All right, you ready for the grand finale? Here it is.

Clyve's, the other department store.

The better department store.

This place is amazing.

You got designer cloths, you got brand names here...

you got... even there's a machine you put a quarter in...

it comes out with your name on it, like wow.

I mean the fact they wanted to have our HQ just down there...

but Montclair's was built first...

so we were sent off down that way.

And they replaced us with this riot barricade...

if you believe that.

Anyway, that's the tour pretty much. So, you got any questions?

Just one.

Shoot.

Riot barricades, Tasers, a five man night crew for a mall.

No offense, but it looks like you got stuck in 1992.

Okay, I'm gonna have to stop you there, cowboy.

You're not from around here, are you?

No.

Can I ask you, what exactly are you doing here?

I needed a job.

Okay, sure.

Uh, anyway, down this way you've got the next town over...

it's got a population of 12,640 people.

Last year it had 48 murders, right?

Over this side, you've got another town, population 25,328.

Last year, had 81 murders.

Meth.

A whole lotta meth.

Seriously and a really, really nasty gang controlling it.

So you got a whole lotta people stealing...

to feed habits, you know what I mean?

You know what, you catch on pretty fast.

You ask astute questions.

Hey, if you don't mind me saying...

you keep in amazing shape.

So I gotta know... Army?

Mm-hm.

I got a sixth sense for this kind of thing.

What were you like sergeant?

Captain.

Really? Wow, not bad.

Um, so thing is, I have some experience with your people...

before and the main problem I got...

is you forget who's in charge.

No, no, no, I'm not here to rock the boat.

Now see that's what I wanted to hear.

See I knew we were gonna get along.

That's a... why do I have my hands on a guy?

Sorry about that.

Okay, yeah, anyway straight down to business then, I guess.

So uh, you got your walkie there.

You wanna be on channel 4 the whole time.

And when you do your passes...

you want to do two loops same as we just did.

We'll get you started right now.

And if you do see anything, hear anything kind of strange...

little bit weird, make sure you phone it in...

before doing anything, can't stress that enough.

Don't want you doing something stupid. Got it?

I'm on it.

Well, welcome to the team, soldier.

Really?

No, no, just you know... good luck.

(MIMICS BUGLE PLAYING)

Yeah.

(SOFT MUSIC PLAYING)

(DISTANT THUNDER ROLLING)

(THUNDER CRASHING)

VANCE (OVER RADIO) You're not afraid of the dark, too...

are ya? Over.

Do the security cameras have backup power? Over.

This guy, he's always thinking, man.

Mm-hm.

Yeah, we got it under control, just give it a minute.

(POWER WHIRRING UP)

You're good to go. Move on out, soldier.

Roger that.

Asshole.

Okay.

(OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYING)

(CRYING)

Guys, we've got something outside.

Did you say 'something outside'? Over.

Oh, it's a little girl.

I'm sorry, repeat. Did you say a little girl? Over.

She's scared. I'm gonna let her in.

No, wait, hold on, don't...

No, I'm not holding on.

Hold on. Hold on.

Hold it, hold it. Let's go.

Hey, hey, hey!

They're coming! They're coming! They're coming!

They're coming!!

It's okay! There's nobody there! Hey, hey, hey.

Come on.

Who is coming?

What the hell is this?

Don't even ask.

Guys, she's cold, bring something.

Blanket right there.

So, uh where's her ID, huh?

She's like 12, she's not gonna have ID.

Fine.

What do we do?

We call the police.

She's pretty screwed up. Runaway?

I hope that's all it is.

Uh, the phone lines are down. Johnny, you got a signal?

Fuck, no. Weird.

Hey, check it out.

That's the Montclair's entrance.

Hello? Hello?

Great. Hey.

There we go. You okay, sir?

I'm looking for my daughter, a little girl, she's eleven.

It's Daddy.

Yeah, we got her, she's here. She's okay, don't worry.

Oh, thank God. Thank you.

Hey, Johnny, we got the dad. Bring her down. Over.

Hey, hey, hey. Hold on, hold on, hold on.

She was scared when she got here.

She said someone was after her.

And daddies are not always the good guy.

What are you talking about?

Uh, excuse me, is there a problem?

No, no, it's just uh, what is her name, sir?

Her name's Jamie.

Just open the door.

Why was she running away in the middle of the night?

Oh, we fought. She ran off.

That's her, is she okay?

She's got cuts and scrapes on her arms, but she's fine.

She's fine.

She must've come through the woods. Our house is over there.

When's her birthday?

16th, April... 2004.

Color of her eyes?

Dude, give it a rest.

They're brown.

Does she have braces?

Check it out.

Sir?

No. She doesn't.

No.

What the hell's wrong with you, man? He's new.

Your dad.

No!

Whoa, whoa! Where are you going?

Kids.

Go, go get her! Get her!!

What the hell is that?

I don't know.

Jesus Harold Christ!

That's 1.25 million in unmarked, untraceable American currency.

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!

Wipe the camera memory, say it was the storm.

You never saw me, the girl was never here.

And you do what with her?

Nothing good, Vance.

I can't do that.

And why not?

Because she's just a...

Because it's not right?

Which is less right, Vance, one pain in the ass girl...

out of your hair and you getting rich or every last one of you...

dying horribly, and nobody getting rich?

Oh fuck me.

And when I say horribly, my dear lord, I mean horribly.

Back away, Vance.

You step away from these doors, your answer is no, got it?

Are you in charge here or are you not?

You said no, so step away. Come on.

Let me break it down for you.

You're five mall cops armed with Tasers and zip ties.

You have no cell signal or outside lines...

in case you hadn't noticed, and whatever regular nightly...

police patrol you have simply isn't coming.

You can't keep us out, you can't keep her alive.

What's it gonna be?

What's it gonna be, Vance?

Vance... Vance!

Shut up!

I'm in charge.

They're not going to let us live.

I'm not going to tell you again!

They can't! Just think about it!

Just give me a minute. It's the right thing.

Hey, what are you doing?

The real man in charge.

You should have let him take the blame.

For getting every man, woman and child in this building killed.

Your country thanks you for your service.

What?

(OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYING)

She's in the mall.

Call off the search, get everybody off the roads.

What are we doing?

There are 2 hills overlooking the incoming routes...

there and there, I want shooters on both.

And not backwood, in-bred mouth-breathers...

men you can trust.

I want a perimeter around the parking lot...

all radios on the secure band...

and no talking unless it's into a walkie...

and absolutely fucking imperative.

(OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYING)

Jamie.

My name is Eddie...

and uh, I think I know what's happening.

You have to trust someone.

I think you probably know that.

You know what?

I have a daughter about your age.

Her name's Sylvia.

It was my mom's name.

Jamie?

(GUN COCKS)

Oh.

I knew you were smart.

I need dry clothes.

You got it.

And food. Done.

You don't cut me out and don't talk to me like I'm a child.

Deal...

Can I turn around now?

Not even loaded.

One more thing.

You have to promise to protect me.

I'm on it.

Pinky swear.

I thought you didn't want to be treated like a child.

There's nothing childish about a pinky swear.

Oh my God... you're the witness.

What witness?

Triple 6, the gang.

Her father was the money guy, the accountant or whatever.

Until he got the brilliant idea to help the feds...

build a case against them.

They found out and they killed him.

She saw the whole thing.

She is supposed to testify tomorrow.

What? Am I supposed to apologize for reading the news?

Maybe they think she's safe now and they're leaving,

Right, because they'll take down an FBI convoy...

but five dip-shits in a shopping mall is too much.

They're coming back.

This guy had our phones jammed...

before he even knew she was in here.

He knew how many we are, he even knew where we were.

He came to the Montclair's door...

not to the food court like Jamie did.

How would they know that?

What about the police patrols?

No, he said they weren't coming.

Fire alarms?

They're hard-wired through the land-lines.

So, we leave right now, we get out.

Oh, my God, how many of them are there?

Is there someplace she can hide?

Wait, what? No way!

I don't get cut out, you promised!

I also promised to keep you safe.

I'm staying.

We can't keep them out, Jamie!

Whoa, whoa, whoa, wait, what?

No, no, those men are coming in. It's just a matter of time.

We have to hide her, and we have to do it now!

I know a place.

Come on, come on.

Just follow me.

Oh my God!

Okay.

It's just up ahead.

Not much, but it's hard to find.

All right, now here you have a flashlight...

water, and a walkie.

I know, I know, but it's low frequency...

so it still works a little.

That also means it doesn't have great range...

so you know don't get scared if nobody answers.

I'm not going to get scared.

Good.

Now is there anything I could bring to help?

I don't know, a teddy bear, or something?

A teddy bear?

Yeah.

I thought you said you had a daughter my age.

You don't have a clue, do you?

No, actually, we don't see much of each other.

My parents are dead.

I've been in witness protection for a year.

Even if I survive this and testify tomorrow...

I still won't have a family or a home.

[VANCE] Eddie.

Uh, you're gonna want to see this.

All right.

Listen, lock the door.

Don't make a sound, don't try to get out...

no matter what you hear, right?

This is bullshit.

Well, I promised to protect you...

and that is exactly what I'm going to do.

Lock the door.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING)

Check this out.

There.

Oh, Jesus.

And there.

This is good.

Excuse me? Huh?

This is good.

That's funny, I was just thinking...

this is the worst night of my life.

He's bluffing.

Huh? What do you mean?

If he knew for sure the patrols weren't coming...

he would have his men drive in.

But what are they doing?

Disabling our cars.

Oh, my God!

Oh, shit. They're gonna find Betty.

What?

It's a 3057 I keep hidden under my seat.

I got a conceal & carry.

What is the point of a conceal and carry if you don't carry?

Uh, rules! You can't have a gun on the job.

We have to get out of here.

No, we can't leave.

Of course, we can! And should!

Because there are men coming to kill us!

Right now!

And you know what, who are you, anyway?

You're not in charge!

He is now.

Wh... what?

I for one do not want to die tonight.

Think you can do a better job, let's see a hand. Huh?

Yeah.

Whatever.

You're scared and it's going to get you killed.

This guy's a pro, high dollar contractor.

You wanna get home to your wife and kid, stay in the building.

You don't want to help us, that's fine.

Go hide somewhere. Nobody'll judge you.

Just tell me you have a plan.

Well, the attack happened 45 minutes ago.

By now, the Feds know she's missing.

They'll come for her.

But when?

That we don't know.

Right now time is our enemy.

Let's make time our friend.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING)

There.

Go, go, go!!

How do we get on the roof?

This is some crazy shit.

Status?

Clear on Route 6.

RANDOM BIKER (OVER RADIO) Clear around the turn.

All clear, sir.

Go.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING)

Agh!

What the hell are we doing, man?

Sending them a message.

Fire! Agh!

Oh my God!

Go! Go!

Oh, shit! Oh, shit!

Come on, it's not safe up here!

Go, go, go!

Get it cleaned up.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING)

Go, go, go! C'mon!

Wait, wait, wait. I-I-I gotta go.

Vance! God damn it!

Wait for me! Shit, shit...

No, no!

Ruby?

Come on.

Worst possible shift to be hung over for.

Yeah.

Get the body back there.

Yes, sir.

Get this truck out of here.

Got it.

Get the stuff! Flashlight!

Flashlight? Okay. Towel.

Jesus. Tear the map down!

[RUBY] So what's really going on? Maps?

So what's really going on here?

Girl turned up... now that psychopath...

is trying to fucking kill her!

Now we got a whole fucking gang after us!

Let's go!

Shit!

The doors?

They seem to be holding for now. Hey, Eddie?

Upstairs I had a prob...

I took care of that. He's the guy?

Yeah... he's Eddie. He's in charge.

You told her what's going on?

For the most part.

The girl, the gang... I'm with you.

Well, we don't have a lot of time.

I figure maybe 30 minutes before they get into Montclair's...

and another five to ten before they are into Zone B.

We need to be ready.

So what's the plan?

Buy time and take as many of them out as we can.

So if you get the opportunity to hurt them, do not hesitate.

I can use a bow.

I can make bombs!

What?

Internet, man.

Let's get to work!

[EDDIE] Ruby, you hide in the perfume store.

Vance, you go to the kitchen wares.

You are the first line of defense.

Mason, you head to the home and garden store.

You are the lookout.

All you gotta do is stay enough time distracting them...

until the feds gets here.

All right.

Okay! Easy, it's a bomb.

Yeah.

Okay.

All right, all right, I got it. I got it, Ruby, I got it.

Go, go, go, go, go!

[RUBY] Got it?

I got it, I got it, okay.

All right, let's go okay. Okay, okay come on.

All right.

Okay.

All right, Vance says the patrols come through the lot.

Now if you see them, do not go out.

Get them to come to you. Right?

Okay, okay.

Now remember... S.O.S.

Short, short, short; long, long, long.

Short, short, short. Okay?

Short, short, short.

Long, long, long. Short, short, short.

Johnny, Johnny, Johnny! Listen! Listen to me!

Do as I say, and you'll be fine. All right?

Okay!

Go, go!

What are you doing?

Watching out for myself!

One of you gets scared and tells them where I am...

I'm screwed in that stupid closet!

If I'm gonna hide, it's gonna be somewhere where nobody knows.

Plus, I can help.

No way. We talked about this!

I have an idea.

Really?

(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING)

Leave the lot clear, the cars ready.

Log us in.

(LOUD CLANG)

Oh shit!

She's in the building.

Scorched earth, nobody gets out alive.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC CONTINUES)

They're in.

Channel 47.

47 is open. Over.

TECH (OVER WALKIE) What am I calling you?

Eddie.

Call me Charlie.

Well... last chance, Charlie.

The girl is gone...

and our nightly patrol will be by any minute...

not to mention the Feds when they realize she's missing.

And...

we have home court advantage.

I have a little announcement to make to my guys, Eddie.

And seeing as how we're chatting now anyway...

I think it might benefit your team to hear it as well.

So, everybody on?

CHARLIE (OVER RADIO) So, my guys, listen up.

I've uh, spoken to our mutual employer...

and after tonight's little snafu...

there's now a bonus in place.

If we succeed and the girl dies...

each one of you gets an extra $100,000.

Here's the rub.

If we fail, if she lives to see another day...

every last one of you will be hunted down and killed.

Your family, friends, pets, will follow in short order.

So, needless to say...

I strongly recommend getting little piggie tonight.

Let's get to work.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC FADES UP)

Motherfuckers.

Agh!

(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING)

Team report. Over.

Yes, it's uh, it's Vance.

I'm okay.

JAMIE (OVER WALKIE) I'm okay. It's Jamie.

I smell like a 2-dollar whore, but I'm good. Over.

Mason? Mason, do you copy?

(WEEPING OVER RADIO)

EDDIE (OVER RADIO) Okay, buddy.

I'm on my way. Hold on.

Mason, you better appreciate this.

(OMINOUS MUSIC FADES UP)

(WHISTLES)

[EDDIE] Shit.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING)

Mason, it didn't work. You gotta get out of there.

[SHOOTER #2] Lookin' at the County Sheriff...

turning off the highway.

We have company outside. Hold all fire.

Unless somebody tries something stupid.

Nobody do anything rash. We are watching.

Car.

Okay.

What the...

Broken.

Out the door.

You can't.

I'm going out there.

Abort.

I'm going.

I have...

Hey!

Nice try.

We're clear. Over.

Clear the Food Court.

EDDIE (OVER RADIO) Listen, everybody.

We just lost Johnnie.

They are not joking. I want you to be very careful.

Whoever can, report. Over.

VANCE (OVER RADIO) It's Vance...

I'm still stuck in Zone D. I think I can move. Over.

All right, Vance. Can you see the food court?

No.

All right, all right... Ruby, Mason. Over.

I'm still in D, too.

Stuck looking at Vance's ugly mug. Over.

Are you still alive, Mason?

Mason, do you copy?

Yes.

EDDIE (OVER RADIO) All right, listen.

I need some eyes on the food court.

Whattya you say, buddy?

Nope.

Mason, if you don't move, they will get you.

EDDIE (OVER RADIO) Are you still in home and garden?

No.

Where are you?

S-storage. I can't move.

JAMIE (OVER RADIO) It's Jamie.

I can help.

EDDIE (OVER RADIO) Jamie.

Can you take a look at the food court? Over.

Yup.

All right. I need to know how many are they?

Got it.

All right, everybody listen up.

We meet at Clyve's in exactly three minutes, copy?

Copy that.

Shit.

JAMIE (OVER RADIO) You guys, there's five.

Okay. I'll take care of it.

Follow it!

Yeah. Come on!

(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING)

No!

(DRAMATIC MUSIC CONTINUES)

You okay?

Yeah.

I was worried.

I'm good... oh, shit!

C'mon! Where'd they get you? I got you.

Oh shit. Oh shit. C'mon. C'mon!

Oh, Jesus.

Stop, Mason! Stop, god dammit!

It's me. It's me.

All right, kid.

Are you alright? Are you? We have to move.

No, sir.

We have to move. We have to move. Come on.

Let me get you out of here.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC CONTINUES)

[EDDIE] Drop the gate! Drop the gate!!

Come on!

If you want something done, you gotta do it yourself.

You saved his life.

You didn't do bad yourself. Come on.

Get it open.

Psst. Hey.

Um, I have a present for you.

And if you get in trouble, and I am not there...

you just press this button.

I know how a Taser works.

Yeah.

My mom had one.

Okay.

Wow. Nice place you got in here. A little small, but very nice.

Reminds me of somewhere.

Where?

My Uncle Will's.

I used to spend summers there when I was a kid.

I loved it.

It was so... normal.

Then one year, my dad told me I couldn't go anymore.

Well, Dad's aren't always perfect.

Yeah, but I at least wanted them around once in a while.

And they're not criminals.

[JAMIE] It's... it's like you're trying...

to defend him or something.

I'm not defending him.

But it's hard to know why people do things sometimes.

He might not have been around much because he was afraid.

Afraid? Afraid of what?

Afraid of putting you in danger.

Of being the one to hurt you.

Maybe he was afraid of himself.

I don't know.

But right now...

there isn't anyone I'd feel safer with.

CHARLIE (OVER RADIO) Let's have a little chat, shall we?

Go.

CHARLIE (OVER RADIO) So, now you're in Clyve's.

End of the road. Nowhere else to go and only a single...

steel door separating us from you.

So, I'm gonna extend the offer one last time.

Give us the girl, one life for many...

or I will huff and I will puff.

Well, we are 2 hours out from when you fucked up your hit...

and let a child slip through your fingers.

Now, the Feds will be here any minute.

You're done, Charlie.

The patrol came and went, friend.

I'd have thought your pal's death...

would have made that memorable.

Anyway... your answer has been received.

Jamie. Come here.

CHARLIE (OVER RADIO) Ready or not.

Come here. Come here.

Cops? Oh my God! Cops!

There are cops outside right now!

Eddie?

There are cops outside.

Oh!

Okay, hold on, hold on.

Communication truck.

We gotta get rid of it.

Take care of her. Okay.

Wait for my call. Okay.

Shh.

Hey, how are we doing, Vance?

It should hold. It's made of solid steel.

(ENGINE STARTING)

This is not good. Here.

Help is on its way. Come on! Come on!

Oh sh...!

Let's play ball, compadres.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING)

(SIRENS WAILING)

On the ground! Hands up, now!

Hey, hey, I am security. On your knees!

Alright, alright, alright. He has a weapon.

No, no, I don't.

Is the girl here?

Yeah, she's here. She's in the store, yes.

Because we're hearing gunfire in there.

Well, yes.

Move! Move! Move!

I need backup now, Eddie!

(DRAMATIC MUSIC CONTINUES)

Can we get to her?

Can I use this?

Go ahead.

Mason, bring the girl.

No, we're screwed. I can't move.

Mason, keep your shit together, okay?

Hey, Jamie. You listening?

So when I stand up, I want you to run like a bat outta hell.

Do you hear me?

What are you going to do?

Don't you worry about me, little girl.

But you, you're gonna get out of here...

and you're going to bring those bastards down, you understand?

Promise me.

Yeah.

Let's do this.

It's gonna be okay. Let's go.

Come on! Come on!

Come on!

(SCREAMS)

Good girl.

What a shit night.

She'll trust you. She'll come to you, right?

Yeah.

Jamie.

Remember...

...you're gonna go home with your teddy bear.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING)

Mason!

Vance?

EDDIE (OVER RADIO) Jamie? Copy?

I thought you were dead.

Is Vance with you?

[JAMIE] No.

I-I think they shot him.

Dammit!

Alright, listen. They're in. They are in the store.

EDDIE (OVER RADIO) You have to be very quiet and very strong.

We can't let what our team did here tonight be for nothing.

You understand?

JAMIE (OVER RADIO) And you need to get...

home... to your daughter.

That's right. I do.

So what do we do?

Do you remember what we did with Ruby's things?

Where we put them.

In the bedroom department.

I need you to get her walkie, the real one...

the security one, alright?

Okay.

EDDIE (OVER RADIO) Now it'll have...

emergency channels.

There'll be a static at first...

but if I do my job, they'll go clear.

Now when that happens...

I need you to find a place to hide and start yelling.

The good guys will be listening and they'll come.

And when you get through, wait for me.

I'll come for you, alright?

Pinky swear?

Pinky swear.

You got this? Can I count on you?

I'm on it.

I'll see you soon. Out.

You and me, kid. You and me.

He's going for the radio jammer.

Clear.

(TRIGGER CLICKING)

(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING)

Jamie.

I know you're in the store, Jamie.

[CHARLIE] I know you can hear me.

We were on a 10-mile stretch of wooded highway, Jamie.

The rain prevented skid-marks and we towed all the cars away.

No idea where we hit your convoy.

Nobody's coming, Jamie.

Time to negotiate.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING)

(CHOKING)

Fuck.

Get the van outta here now.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING)

Jamie! Jamie!

EDDIE (OVER RADIO) Jamie, come in! Do you copy?

Jamie?

(GUN FIRES)

EDDIE (OVER RADIO) Jamie! Do you copy?

My name is Jamie Latimer! Ridgeside Mall... please help!

DEAD EYES (OVER RADIO) Don't shoot.

He's mine.

Nice to meet you, Betty.

Fuck.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC FADES UP)

(HIGH-PITCHED TONE)

Jamie...

RODRIGUEZ (OVER WALKIE) Jamie? Jamie, do you copy?

This is the U.S. Marshal's office.

Jamie, do you copy?

He's gone, Jamie... he left, like all the rest.

That's what people do when things get complicated.

When I was about your age...

my father woke me one morning and told me to pack a bag.

We had a train to catch.

I was excited.

I'd only been away from home a few times before...

only for day-trips.

I fell asleep.

When I woke, my father was gone.

There was 50 quid in my jacket pocket.

I never saw him again.

So, I'm going to make you a deal...

from one betrayed, abandoned soul to another.

There's no reason for you to die. You just can't testify.

So you come with me.

I'll take care of you, get you somewhere where we're both safe.

You can start over. Make your own way. Be your own boss.

I'll help you.

Maybe I'll even teach you a thing or two.

Who knows?

You have a really important decision to make, Jamie.

You can be the child who waits for the white knight...

who never comes.

You can be immature, brave and stupid and make a run for it...

in which case I'll have no choice but to kill you.

Or stand up and we deal with this like adults.

So...

What's it gonna be, Jamie?

Okay.

If that's the way you want to play it.

No! No! Eddie! Eddie! Eddie!

Eddie... Eddie.

You could have been a rich man, Eddie.

I told you, take the money, turn a blind eye.

As you said, Charlie, I am the man in charge.

You said that.

Jamie... you know how it works.

Jamie, let's go.

Alright.

Come on. Come on, come on. Here, look at me.

(DISTANT SIRENS APPROACHING)

There she is!

This is Rodriguez.

We got eyes on Jamie Latimer...

alive, coming out of the Ridgeside Mall.

Stop right there! Hands where we can see 'em! Now!

(MUSIC CHANGES)

[JAMIE] Hey.

Hey.

You look like shit.

Well...

that's about how I feel.

I'm going to be leaving soon.

I guess.

So, I just want to say thank you...

before I went.

You have nothing to worry about with your daughter.

She's super lucky to have you as a dad.

Where are you going?

Some foster family or something. They didn't tell me.

You're gonna be okay.

I have a good feeling about him.

Who?

Uncle Will!

[UNCLE WILL] Come on.
