do we have around it?

Okay, folks, we'd like to thank

- Looking forward to it.

...for ten years strong. Lisa?

Well, folks, there's still

a few of those souvenir

science fair T-shirts left.

the work she's put into this.

- Yeah.

Well, I don't know

where she gets the energy.

- And who is this orange guy over here?

Sean?

Sean?

Brooklyn, Queens to my left, Bronx,

Manhattan and Staten Island to my right.

What do you think, Kate?

Kate?

Sean?

Sean?

Sean?

- Cassandra, have you seen Sean?

- No. Kate, are you all right?

Okay.

Sean.

Sean. Sean Mullen,

please come to the judge's stand.

Sean?

Oh, please, God.

He's probably just

bustin' chops, you know, 'cause

we wouldn't let him enter the contest.

Who didn't we call?

- Sean?

- You have E-mail.

- I have your son.

- Oh, Jesus!

- I want $ 2 million

in fifties and hundreds.

- Oh, God!

No consecutive

serial numbers.

No new bills.

No marked bills.

The money will fit into two Samsonite

hard-shell suitcases, model #260.

Do not involve the police or the FBI.

If you do, I will kill him.

Do not inform the media,

or I will kill him.

No tracking devices in the money

or the cases, or I will kill him.

You have 48 hours to get the money.

I will contact you.

Open your mouth. Open your mou...

Would you open your mouth now?

Open it. Swallow it.

You little prick.

- What are you doing?

- Why don't you just clean your shirt?

Look, we talked about this.

Oh, yeah. Forgot.

B*tch.

Kate. Kate! Who are you calling?

He said no police.

- Why did you do that?

Why did you do that?

- He said he'd kill him

if you called the police.
