Last Man Standing Page #5

Synopsis: Mike Baxter is the marketing director for an iconic outdoor sporting goods store. He loves to have adventures while he's traveling for work and, of course, he drives a pick-up truck. While Mike is king of the hill at work, he's the odd man out in a home that is dominated by women -- namely his wife, Vanessa, and their three daughters, 20- year-old Kristin, 17-year-old Mandy and 13-year-old Eve. After being a stay-at-home mom for years, Vanessa recently returned to the workplace and was quickly promoted (much to the dismay of her primarily male co-workers). As a result of Vanessa's increased work load, Mike is pulled into more hands-on parenting than ever before.

Okay. Hang on.

Hi, Mommy.

Hey, snickerdoodle.

See, I didn't forget.

Are we going

to finish Daddy's story?

Right, where

did we leave off?

With the dragon

and the princess.

That's right.

The dragon turned

back into a princess.

I hacked into the

city-planning database...

and downloaded the blueprints

for the building.

This building has

two access points.

Now, each entry

has two guards.

You got to secure

the outside guards fast...

in order to get inside

and take out the floater.

Less exposure on

the outside, the better.

You know you don't

have to do this alone.

Yes, I do.

How long have

you been married?

Seven years.

So you must have met him

as soon as we got out.

Yeah. I told him

I was a technical analyst.

Well, that's half true.

Why not the whole truth?

I guess I just

wanted to start fresh.

I shouldn't have lied to him.

You were just trying to

protect the one you love

They will kill my family.

Please, they just

want me, okay?

Let me go.

I can't do that.

You don't have

a family yet, do you?

Someday, you will

understand that...

there is nothing you would not

do to keep them from harm.

And at that moment,

you'll regret this decision.

Hey, Abby.

Abby! Hey!

What happened to Omar Taraki

after we got out?

Taraki?

I don't know.

He disappeared.

Why are you asking

me about Taraki?

He told me I would regret

my decision someday.

What are you talking

about, Abby?

What time is it?

I need the security protocol.

Jeremy,

this is Pratt's company.

First his house,

and now this?

What if they

went to him first?

It's his company

I'm breaking into.

Obviously, what

they want is in there.

He refuses to play ball,

they kill him and make

it look like a suicide.

Oh, come on, Abby.

What? It's just

all a coincidence?

Look, they know how Pratt

and I are connected,

which means that they

must know about you, too.

All right, you need

to watch your back.

Yeah, well,

if that were true,

then I would be next, not you.

You know, no offense

to you, okay,

but I was the one who knocked

down doors, remember?

Yeah, well, I have something

that you don't have, family.

All right, we're gonna have

to call some friends.

We need some help on this.

No, there's no 'we.'

It's me. It's all me.

I did this.

I made the decision.

What decision?

Abby, what decision?

I have to go.

I have two hours and 47

minutes to figure this out...

before they kill my husband.

I:

want you to watch something.

What is this?

I'm not gonna read anything.

There's a file hidden

on the company network.

Locate it, then call.

The file name is 'Mongoose.'

Hurry up, Abby.

Your husband doesn't

have much time.

Mongoose is a go.
