There we are.

Uh, I need you to talk to your husband.

He listens to you.

I need you to make him understand that

if he doesn't do exactly as I ask...

...I will kill you and your two children.

But if you can make him listen, Beth...

...if you can make him do

what I want...

...you'll all walk away from

this unpleasantness unscathed.

COX:

Not because I'm a nice man...

...simply because there'll be no reason

for me to hurt you.

Make sense?

Can I rely on your cooperation?

- Just tell him yes.

-Yes.

Sarah?

Fine.

And you, big fella?

Maybe.

BETH:
Andy.

-No, it's all right. It's honest.

Do you keep a gun

in the house, Jack?

No.

- Daddy!

-I'm okay.

BETH:
It's okay.

JACK:
Don't worry.

-It's okay.

-I'm all right. I'm okay.

Pass me the gun.

COX:

It's empty.

You lied to me, Jack.

COX:

Don't let it happen again.

You have an excellent alarm system.

What are alarms for, Andy?

- To keep people out.

COX:
That's right.

And they also keep people in.

I'll need the password, Jack.

Lark.

Lark. It's the name of our boat.

All right.

Untie them.

JACK:

Take it easy.

Daddy.

I'll be fine.

COX:
Hi, this is Jack Stanfield,

account number 51216.

I need to change our alarm code

and give you a new password.

I know it's difficult for you,

but try and get some sleep.

Mom, what's going on?

- What do they want?

-I don't know, sweetheart.

Do you want something to eat, Jack?

- I'm not hungry.

-No?

Do you have any wine?

There's some in the bar.

COX:

Pim, go and get me a nice bottle of red.

I don't know sh*t about wine, man.

How do I know if it's nice?

It'll be dusty.

I didn't know he had a gun.

They hit him so hard.

He'll be fine.

It's just a little lump on the head.

- Let's think about something nice, okay?

-Okay.

I know.

We're on board the Lark.

And the sail's up.

And the sun is shining.

And it's warm.

And, Andy, you're at the wheel

with your dad.

Vel.

Get Jack a blanket.

COX:

He's got a busy day tomorrow.

She's asleep. Get some yourself.

- I'll wake you in an hour.

-Okay.

MAN [OVER TV]:
Let's take a look,

show you what's going on.

Yeah, we do have a big storm,

big section of the country.

It's gonna bring a variety

of weather...

COX:

Morning, Jack.

Time to get ready for work.

MAN [OVER TV]:
You can look

for some snow by tomorrow...

...through the upper Great Lakes.

You have to do whatever they want.

I don't care what it is.

It may not be that easy.

We've seen their faces.

- But he said if we just cooperate--

-I know what they said, Beth.

VOICE [OVER TV]:
Did you ever notice

how big squirrels' teeth are?

Where's Andy?

Breakfast.

COX:
Count to three.

ANDY:
One, two, three.
