Just go with me.

[SHOUTING]

Back off!

Or I will shoot her head!

I will blow her brains out!

Back off!

Hey! Hey! You see this?

Back off, or I'm killing

this girl, you hear me?!

I will kill this girl,

right now!

What the hell are you doing?

You see me?!

I am going

to blow her head off!

Now, you, you, yeah, you!

You okay?

Hey, back, back, back!

Or I'm killing this girl,

you hear me?!

Back off!

Back off!

That's it,

you're doing great.

[INDISTINCT SHOUTING]

Get out of my way, copper.

[ENGINE REVS, TIRES SQUEAL]

I can't believe

that worked.

[BEEPING]

They're clear.

I've sent you their location.

Intercept them.

[ENGINE IDLING]

What are you doing?

I'm gonna let you out.

What?!

Come on.

You're not a suspect anymore.

They think I kidnapped you,

so just tell them

you were a hostage.

No, I'm --

I'm serious, I'm serious.

You've done more than enough

for me, all right?

And I can't risk

your life anymore.

I really can't.

You gotta get out, okay?

No.

Get out of the car.

No.

Come on, get out of the car,

will you?!

I'm coming with you.

You're an extremely

stubborn person,

all right, you know that?

I know.

But I'm still not getting out

of this car.

Besides, without me,

you'd probably

do something stupid,

like get

your face shot off.

[SIGHS]

All right.

You don't even know my name,

do you?

No.

[CHUCKLES]

Aah! Go!

[TIRES SQUEAL]

[GASPS]

Damn it!

Oh!

Are you all right?!

Hit him!

[GASPS]

[RAILROAD CROSSING SIGNAL DINGING]

Damn it!

Get down, get down!

Down!

Look out!

Oh, God.

[GASPS]

Aah!

Christ!

Get us off the train!

Where's the gun?

I don't know!

Find the gun!

I'm looking!

Find it!

You got it?

Give it to me!

I found it! Here!

Just hold the wheel

for a second!

I need you to downshift!

You ready?!

Now!

Aah!

[CARPHONE RINGING]

[RINGING CONTINUES]

I have an idea.

Get out.

[RINGING CONTINUES]

So, we meet up with him.

We do an exchange.

The drive for your wife.

It'll never work.

He'll kill us.

I have a way around it.

We use his camera to feed

the video to the cops.

They'll see everything.

[TRAIN WHISTLE BLOWS]

[SIGHS]

[BEEP]

[BEEPS RAPIDLY]

[RINGING CONTINUES]

Answer the phone.

Answer.

You think you are so smart?

I wouldn't be so --

no, shut up and listen.

We have what you want,

let's make a trade.

Where?

You know where I work?

I'll see you there

in two hours.

Goodnight, a**hole.

Where's my wife?

Where's my drive?

Where's my wife?

Leanne:
No, no!

Leanne?

Brent?

Thank God.

I need to know

they're real.

You!

Follow him.

Let her go first.

[GASPING]

Oh, thank God

you're here.

I love you.

[CRYING]

[COMPUTER BEEPS]

I'm waiting.

Waiting.

Let's go!

Shoot them.

Brent, look out!

Oh!

[INDISTINCT SHOUTING]

[SIRENS WAIL]

Throw her in!

No!

Are you all right?

I'm okay.

[SIRENS CONTINUE]

Oh, sh*t, they got the kid.

I gotta go after her.

Go get her.

You stay with the police.

Be careful.

Damn it!

Are you hurt, ma'am?

Sh*t.

[CELLPHONE BEEPS LIGHTLY]

He has a gun on me.

Brent, he has a gun.

Please hear me.

[TABLET BEEPS]

I hope you can see this.

Man:
Quiet!

Don't talk.

Brent, I'm trying

to show you where we are.

[HORN HONKS]

Man:

Move out of my way!

[HONKING CONTINUES]

Brent, yes!

You're screwed, a**hole!

Shut up!

Come on, come on.

[CRASHING]

Aah!

[SCREAMS]

Damn it!

What are you doing?

Is that a camera?

Give it to me,

give it to me!

Wait, no, give it back!

Give it to me!

Ah, sh*t!

Bastard.

Aah!

[GRUNTING]

[SHOUTING INDISTINCTLY]

Damn it!

[TIRES SQUEAL, HORN HONKS]

[TIRES SQUEALING]

[ENGINE STALLING]

[ENGINE TURNS OVER, REVS]

Sh*t.

Man:
Hey!

[INDISTINCT SHOUTING]

[SIGHS]

[HORNS HONKING]

The only way out of the city.

I know where she is.

[TIRES SQUEAL]

Pull over!

Give me the gun!

What are you doing?!

Stop it!

Do you want us to die?

[TIRES SQUEALING]

[HORN BLARES]

Brent:

Come on, come on!

[HORN BLARES]

[TIRES SQUEAL]

[HORN BLARES]

Get out!

What?

Now!

Oh!

Aah!

[FIRE CRACKLING]

[SIREN WAILS IN DISTANCE]

Are you okay?

Are you okay?

[WINCES]

[SIRENS WAIL]

Man:
Stay there.

You're under arrest.

Hands behind your back!

What do you got?

Thanks.

Everybody back!

[SIGHS]

[MAN SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE]

Ugh.

Well, I guess

I owe you one, huh?

And you owe me a new car.

Don't worry about the car.

It just needs a new paint job

and she'll be fine.

[CELLPHONE RINGS]

Brent:
What's that?

Leanne:
I don't know.

It's not mine.

Hello?

Male voice:

Aren't you going to thank me?

I did for you what you could

never do for yourself.

I showed you

what you are made of.

Please excuse me if I wasn't

able to be there in person.

I'm sure you understand,

under the circumstances,

it would have been

most inconvenient for me.

If you're asking yourself

who I am to you,

I will answer very simply:

I am your greatest fan.

I've always thought

you could have been

at the very top

of your profession,

if only you believed

you could.

So, that's it, you see.

Please send your lovely wife

my best wishes

for a happy Christmas.

I'm sincerely glad

you worked things out

to be with her

for the holidays.

It's the season to be

together with loved ones,

so I'm told.

I have very few loved ones.

My consolation is

I have a lot of money.

And now, quite a lot more of it,

thanks to you.

I doubt if our paths

will cross again,

but then,

life is full of surprises.

[INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS]

So let's just say au revoir.

We should.

It's been most entertaining.

[ALARM BEEPS]

["JINGLE BELL ROCK" PLAYS]

Jingle bell, jingle bell,

jingle bell rock

jingle bells swing

and jingle bells ring

snowing and blowing up

bushels of fun

now the jingle hop has begun

jingle bell, jingle bell,

jingle bell rock

jingle bells chime

in jingle bell time

dancing and prancing

in jingle bell square

in the frosty air

what a bright time

it's the right time

to rock the night away

jingle bell time

is a swell time

to go gliding

in a one-horse sleigh

giddyup, jingle horse,

pick up your feet

jingle around the clock

mix and a-mingling

the jingling feet

that's the jingle bell rock

jingle bell, jingle bell,

jingle bell rock

jingle bell chime

in jingle bell time

dancing and prancing

in jingle bell square

in the frosty air

what a bright time

it's the right time

to rock the night away

jingle bell time

is a swell time

to go gliding

in a one-horse sleigh

giddyup, jingle horse,

pick up your feet

jingle around the clock

mix and a-mingling

the jingling feet

that's the jingle bell

that's the jingle bell

that's the jingle bell rock

[ALLISON BEAL'S "SING NOW" PLAYS]

This love, boy,

you got a hold on me

it's got me wrapped up tight

boy, you know

it's sweet misery

I tried, boy,

I tried to run away

but this love holds me tight

got to fight,

it's begging me to stay

and it tells me,

sing, now, baby

sing me down tonight

sing, now, baby

do it

until the morning light

sing, now, baby
