Buried Page #4

- Hold on. Let me connect you...

- No. Don't put me on hold... No!

- Rebecca Browning.

- Hello?

Yes, hello. I was just

informed of your situation.

Yeah, my situation.

I'm running out of time and you

people keep putting me on hold.

- What the hell is wrong with you?

- I'm sorry.

Don't be sorry. Just help me.

I just have a few questions for

you, Mister Conroy.

You've got to be kidding me.

It's important that

I get this information.

- It will make a rescue attempt...

- Wait, wait, wait...

- How did you know my name?

- I'm sorry?

I never gave you my name. I don't think

I gave it to the other guy, either.

What the hell is going

on right now?

We received a call from a

representative at CRT.

- You left him a message?

- Yeah...

- He contacted us right away.

- Well, since you know what the hell...

is going on, what have you done to

get me out of here?

There's little we can

do from Washington.

So, that's it? I'm just supposed to rot in

here because there's little you can do?

- No.

- Then what?

I need to know where you were when

your convoy was ambushed.

In Baqubah.

In the Diyala Provence.

Okay. And has contact been made

with the kidnappers?

Yes. The guy told me that he wants five

million dollars by nine o'clock tonight.

Or else...?

Or else he'll bring me to Sea World.

What do you think, lady?

We'll do everything we can.

- So you'll pay them?

- No. That we can't do.

Wait... What?

It's the policy of the United

States government...

- That's bullshit... come on!

- to not negotiate with terrorists.

you're sitting in an air

conditioned office somewhere.

It's easy for you to say...

You're not the one stuck in a coffin...

- buried in the God damn desert!

- I understand your frustration...

Frustration? Lady, I'm going to

f***ing die in here. Understand that!

- Hello?

- I'm here.

Well, then say something. Tell me

how you're going to get me out of here.

What's the number on

the phone you're calling from?

I don't know.

Did it come up on your end?

No. It's listed as unavailable.

- Can you remember a number?

- Yeah... No!

- I have a pencil.

- Okay, write this down.

Just a second... Go ahead.

- 410.

- Yeah.

- 195.

- Yeah.

- 5453.

- 5453.

- Who's that?

- Dan Brenner.

He's the commander of a Hostage

Working Group over in Iraq.

Hostage Working Group?

We formed it in 2003 to deal with

situations such as yours.

Situations.

I love how you keep calling it that.

- Did you write down the number?

- Yeah.

Good. Hold on, I'll connect you

with him now. He should be expecting you.

- What about the news? I'm going to call them.

- No. Do not contact the news.

I repeat, do not

contact the news.
