Devil Page #2

Synopsis: In Philadelphia, Detective Bowden is still grieving for his wife and son, killed in a hit-and-run five years ago. When someone jumps from a skyscraper onto a truck, Bowden is sent to investigate. Meanwhile, five strangers are trapped in an elevator in the building where the jumper committed suicide. The communication radio in the elevator is broken but the guards, Lustig and Ramirez, observe the individuals via CCTV as events unfold. Tensions run high among those trapped, so Lustig calls the police and Detective Bowden assumes the case. Without being able to contact the individuals, he tries to work out who they are, but he can only account for four of them. Time is running out for the occupants of the elevator, as Bowden realizes he has to get them out quickly.

stop talking for a while.

Sure.

Okay, I was just joking.

I'm joking.

Hey, Dwight,

are you there yet?

Almost.

Hey, look, man, I'm just

glad you're dating again.

I'm just glad

you're glad.

You know what I meant. You

know, after all your troubles...

I know what you meant.

So, how's that

been going for you?

Good.

Ninety days tomorrow.

Wow, 90 days!

It seems like just

yesterday since we...

Not to me,

it doesn't.

You wouldn't happen to have a

broken window up there, would you?

Yeah.

Facing this direction?

Mmm-hmm.

Big enough to fit a person through it?

I suppose.

Please stop sweeping.

I'm declaring this

a crime scene.

Car 602.

What the hell is that?

Look out!

You might want to

secure that better.

Okay, okay!

In her story,

innocent people always die.

Poor souls just

trying to help out,

who didn't realize what

they were dealing with.

He doesn't take kindly to

those who stand in his way.

Hey, old man.

It doesn't say inspection

mode here. Circuits look fine.

Okay.

Try flipping elevator six.

I'll tell the people in the

car. You count to 20, then do it.

Cool.

"Inspected and certified

August 12 by G. Carson. "

Hey, what do you say we go visit

G. Carson when we're out of here?

Tell him what we think

of his inspecting prowess.

People, we're gonna flip off

the lights for one sec

to see if there's

a short in the breaker.

You're gonna

cut off the power?

Does that mean

we could drop?

You'll be fine. I just

didn't want you to...

What's happening?

Come on!

Nothing.

Nothing. Just relax.

Come on.

Get off me!

Get off me!

Sorry.

What's wrong

with you, man?

When I was younger, my

brother locked me in a trunk

for six hours.

I have trouble

with tight spaces.

Oh, great.

Come on.

Can we get out

through that?

What are you gonna do?

Shimmy up the cables?

You'll be a lot safer

in here.

Anybody know where the

bathroom is in this thing?

Did it work?

Nope, they're still stuck.

Let me go check the

mains in the basement.

All right, thanks a lot. Wow.

What's going on?

You know that

window on 35?

Yeah.

Looks like somebody might

have jumped through it.

Today?

Yeah.

This morning.

Thanks for

bearing with us, people.

We should get you back

on line in a few minutes.

It's been minutes.

How long is it

going to take?

When we get out of here,

you're gonna need a good rest.

"Mattress Mania"?

That's us. Everybody's had their

mattress too long. Am I right?

You didn't follow that advice

about flipping it every few months

and now you've

worn a groove into it,

and you think,

"Well, I'm used to it.

"So, hey. But I do

miss the way it felt

"when it came

fresh out of that bag. "
