There's no name.

I'm not gonna name it. For what?

-Help.

-Sh*t.

Dr. Painter, this is Colleen

at your message service.

I've got an emergency call

from Robin.

-It's hard to say it,but I can't.

-You said you'd tell me anything.

It's not illegal,is it?

No,Daddy.

That was a stupid thing to ask.

-He's a doctor. He'll obey us.

-I need help!

-You have too much faith in people.

-How to kidnap somebody without it?

Let 's fake it.

Would you get me Mr. Chidduck?

Hi, Robin. Look at me.

-Talk to me. How do you feel?

-I'm dizzy. I'm not gonna make it.

-You're gonna make it.

-Am I gonna have it?

-How long since you drank water?

-I don't know.

You do what I say, you understand

me? You do what I say!

If anything happens to me,

if this all goes terribly wrong...

It already has gone

terribly wrong.

I'm sorry.

Just get me a f***ing figure.

What kind of a kidnapping is this?

Aren't we in the demands phase

at this point?

-You can't pay,Hale.

-Certainly I can.

It's not about the money, the life

of the girl,even the child.

They get caught crossing

the border,running a red light...

that money is coming

right back to you.

You'll have to account for it,

explain. Understand what I said?

You cannot pay.

Joe, can't you just go over and...

whatever, you know...

rub them out?

No,no.

If we call the police,

surround them,sweat them out...

they only have their lives. We

don't have to negotiate. They do.

Robin is their only chip. They have

to give her up. It's that simple.

You keep your money, the girl,

and nobody looks at your books.

I can't.

No! No police!

Just, you know...

hell, figure it out!

She's dehydrated. The pain

can feel very much like labor.

-But she won't lose the baby.

-No.

-But she'll have it within 6 days.

-Don't lie to me, Doc.

I'm not gonna lie. I'm concerned

for the health of my patient.

The baby is over eight pounds

and should come out by the 15th.

Don't push us, man.

-Can't she have it sooner?

-You mean, induce?

-Here? Absolutely not.

-Don't hand me that, Doc.

-First baby was born in a cave.

-Because it had to be.

-What if he had to?

-Yeah.

-As for baby and mother surviving....

-Forget that. Who are the parents?

You guys don't....

-Who are the parents?

-Francesca and Hale Chidduck.

Oil and steel Chidducks,

Vegas union-busters Chidducks?

-You guys have never...?

-It 's not our crowd.

He's a front man for developers

who cut in on rough territory.

Sometimes he launders money

out of Mexico. He's f***ing crazy.

Makes his living collecting other

people's enemies, shooting them.

This is their worst nightmare, and

you don't know who you grabbed?

How much money this guy have?
