My manager.

It's 1654.

He's under Phil C.,

my contacts.

Good.

Here. This should make you more

comfortable while you're down here.

Well, when are you coming back?

So the ransom was

for $123,000 exactly.

How were you gonna arrange that?

Um, he had an idea

we could get an advance payment

for my forthcoming bookings

for my appearances.

And how would he go about

doing that?

I gave him my agent's number.

He would do it.

What's this for?

To prove you're alive.

What happens to me

after 24 hours?

What if he can't get the money?

Let's hope

it doesn't come to that.

This isn't the right way.

Don't try to get involved in things

you couldn't possibly understand.

It's a lot of cash

to get quickly.

Should I be worried?

I wouldn't have thought so.

It's not a lot of money for you.

I'm not as wealthy as you think.

You want me

to feel sorry for you?

No, I'm just warning you

that it might take longer

than you think.

How long are you talking here?

A day, two days?

A week?

Can I go home now?

- What's going on?

- You wasted my time.

He doesn't have any money.

This was supposed

to be quick and easy.

I think I can get it.

Well, think fast.

We're running out of options.

I can get you some cash.

If you let me go, I can sort it.

You think I'm stupid.

I don't have as much

as you think.

Maybe I could get you 80?

That's not good enough.

The full amount

or you stay here.

Just do what you want to me.

Get it over and done with.

Go on.

I won't even put up a fight.

Don't flatter yourself.

You couldn't begin

to understand what...

It doesn't matter.

Just figure out how to get

the money together.

You can go right back to

your Gucci f***ing handbags.

Don't you dare f***ing judge me.

You think I have it so easy?

You have no idea

how hard my life is.

You have no idea the sh*t

that I have to put up with.

Shut the f*** up.

Excuse me? Hello?

I need to use the bathroom.

I have to go.

Please?

You understand

what's at stake here.

Don't do anything stupid.

- No.

- What?

I can't risk it.

What are you doing in there?

I thought you had to go.

Yeah, I do.

Look, I can't go if

you're standing outside.

Would you give me a minute?

You have one minute.

Hello? Hey, what's up?

I'm working on it.

I'm doing the best I can, okay?

I've got a plan.

Look, I'll get it. I'll transfer

some more over tonight.

Is she listening to this?

Rachel, I told you not to talk

about this in front of her.

Yes, she does.

Look, I can't talk right now.

I'll call you back.

I'm done.

Have you heard anything?

What did Phil say?

He's gonna see what he can do.

Why are you doing this?

It's none of

your f***ing business.
