Hey! Hey!

My name is Jamie Taylor.

I'm at Grifton Enterprises,

there's two men holding me...

...maybe my son.

Please help.

Comfortable?

Remember that before

you think about escaping again.

That tape wasn't recorded here.

I never said it was.

I heard a dog in the background.

What do you think, I'm stupid?

Graduated second in your class

at a top university...

...with a degree in computer science.

Had you pursued a master's...

...you'd probably be running

a software company by now.

But you decided to get married young,

have a baby.

Balance the books

on a struggling business.

Do I think you're stupid? No.

Maybe loyal. Maybe regretful.

Maybe guilty.

Where did you get that tape?

What tape? Like this one?

This one?

Have to go in tonight,

I'm interviewing a new chef.

Oh, yeah? What's he cooking?

Anything you want.

Your house has been bugged.

Everything from Michael

rehearsing his class play to...

Kevin whining about his debts, to you...

...paying bills, making calls.

You've been listening to us?

I listen to all my boss's employees.

Make sure they don't say anything

the feds can track.

For how long?

Do you really wanna know?

A situation's arisen.

My boss, Falco, had an appointment

two weeks from now...

...with a banker from a Swiss institution.

This banker's in the country

only once a year...

...and he's the only one who can

immaculately clean $40 million at once.

Now, his institution

holds our assets overseas.

And he was just informed that

they might be under scrutiny.

My boss needs him to go back

as soon as possible...

...to protect our investments.

Why are you telling me this?

If the 40 million isn't here

by the time the banker is...

...it can't be cleaned,

and we will have to abandon it.

Now, they're not coming

in two weeks as planned.

They're gonna be here in 12 hours.

- I told you, I don't know anything.

- You may know more than you think.

Now, Kevin knew he was being recorded,

that's part of the job.

When he talked to us he talked in code.

"Drop place" would be "Mom's house"

or "the restaurant. "

If he couldn't make it, he'd say,

"Well, Michael is sick. "

Never considered the possibility...

...that he might be using

a different code with someone else.

You know your life with Kevin.

Dates, times, appointments.

Listen to the tapes.

If something sounds strange, inconsistent,

you let me know.

What makes you think

he talked about it at our house?

He knew he would draw the

least amount of suspicion from us there.

We have to explore every possibility.

You find the money,

and I will let you and Michael go.

Just like that?

After everything you've told me?

Jamie, understand something.
