It is my job to be discreet.

Every name I use, every detail I give

and everything I let you see...

...is for your protection.

You won't hear anything

I don't want you to...

...and we'll be gone and hidden

before anybody can find us.

You're asking me to kill my own husband.

Whether you believe me or not,

it's your husband's life or Michael's.

I don't even know if Michael is still alive.

Rathe, get the kid.

Ow!

- Michael.

Mommy.

It's okay, baby.

Don't hurt him.

Are you gonna save him,

or are you gonna kill your own son?

No.

This is as good as he's gonna look.

I'm going to kill you.

Hold her head up.

What are you gonna do?

- You're gonna kill me?

- No.

Huh?

What are you gonna do, Jamie?

I'm gonna help you.

I'm gonna help you, just don't hurt him.

Get him out of here.

- Mommy.

- It's okay, baby.

These tapes are more important

than the air you breathe.

They're the only thing

keeping you and Michael alive.

Now, when you hear the phone

ring twice on the tapes...

...bypass that,

that's how we contacted Kevin.

Okay.

Don't waste your time with those.

You just figure out

how Kevin signaled his other partner.

Oh, and Jamie, we're watching you.

We can see you from

every room in the warehouse.

Twelve hours, Jamie.

You guys will be okay while

I'm in Detroit for the week?

I think we can stay out of trouble.

- I'll call you tonight?

- Okay.

Hey, goodbye hug?

One. Smack one.

Goodbye, champ.

Mr. Hader,

looks like Rathe pulled some teeth.

I have a lead for you.

Your partner has the 40 million

you both stole from Falco...

...and you have me.

Tell me where the money is, and

I'll let you keep your jaw for dentures.

I know Falco's people.

I've never heard your voice.

You wanna take off that mask

and show me your face?

Hader...

...if you see my face,

it will be the last thing you look at.

Alek? I heard you.

Christ.

Look, I don't know where Taylor is,

I don't know.

That's all right, Mr. Hader.

Rathe will jog your memory.

What did you do in school yesterday?

Spelling.

What's wrong?

I'm not good at it.

Mikey, you're the smartest kid I know.

Why don't you sing my favorite song?

The one you made up in preschool.

Two, three, you and me can

four and five and twenty-nine and...

...sixty-six is even fixed with

forty-three and we...

Awesome.

Your mom and I are discussing a dog

for your birthday, but no promises.

Is he a prune yet?

- Try raisin.

- I'm not a raisin.

You are the most delicious little raisin.

I love you.

The lease renewal came for the restaurant.

They're raising the rent to 8,000.

Oh, Christ!

- Okay, I'll give him a call.

- It's your day off, call him Monday.
