Hello

Good, good

You can hold it?

Okay

Yeah, I just spoke to her

Let's go.

Yes

Where is Peter?

You killed him, didn't you?

You killed him

and you're going to kill me.

Wow, you are making an offer.

It's tempting.

Listen,

now l want you to know this.

I really enjoyed the last 24 hours.

and then all cool parties.

Marvin, are you in place?

All right.

Just wait a minute,

and then do it.

You said, "Do it!"

No, no, wait

If you don't, I won't do it.

We've come so far together.

Do you want me to talk about?

l remember I won't tell.

I promised I won't.

Okay, okay.

Guess what?

He's in the playground.

Right behind me.

Where is he?!

Goodbye, Mary.

Peter

Peter, Peter!

Come here.

Yes, you did good,

Marvin.

Do we have to do this again?

Wondered if I'd miss

or bring this family together.

Got it.

Oh Will, don't go.

Ann, this is about us, okay?

And for Abby.

She seems she's growing up so fast.

l don't want you to miss

any more important moments.

I know, I know.

It's almost over.

Last time.

When are you going to take me for a ride?

l can have secrets from my wife.

Well, as a matter of fact,

I've bought the cavern of

Whistler this weekend.

How about that?

Yes!!

You did?

I did.

Okay.

Abby? Abby, are you all right?

Yes, I was just looking at crabs.

Daddy, don't worry so much.

Yeah,

don't worry so much.

We will be fine.

Look after you, okay?

Okay.

Will you wiggle your wings

after you take off?

You'd better watch and see.

Wiggle your wings?

Yes, wiggle your wings!

Wiggle your wings!

He did. He wiggled his wings.

I want to do it.

Okay.

Take all that trash mail out for me.

Okay.

All junk.

All Junk.

Do you want some icecream?

Yeah. l need to tinkle first.

Okay

Abby, pour me the clothes all you have in there.

Okay.

Karen, are you in?

It's Joan. Hello?

Ok, you're not there.

Listen, I got a free night tonight.

Lilly's going to sleep over.

Call me now.

Abby, I'm ready for the clothes.

Here you are.

What are you doing?

Karen, where is the medicine?

When she is nervous,

I'll just have something from home.

Call us 30 from now.

Let's go, go, go.

Go.

Are you okay? Need help?

Abby, what happened to you

for having me with the laundry?

Why so loud?

Abby!

Oh!!

Stay calm. Abby's not here.

She's fine.

She's absolutely fine.

My name is Joe.

And I'm going to help you though this thing.

Abby!

Abby, where are you?

Bad Idea

Good evening.

Dr. Jennings.

Oh, yes, Doctor.

May I say that several

of our guests have mentioned

they are much looking forward to

see your presentation tonight.

Oh, it's nice to hear.

Where is my baby?

Wow, you don't want to shoot me,

Mrs. Jennings.

Shut up! Where is she?

Abby is with my cousin.

My cousin has a celll phone.

If l don't call him every 30 minutes,

he is going to kill her,

as if you would want him to do

I'd just say that you definitely

look prettier than this.

Sit down!!

Look, Mrs. Jennings.

Nothing's going to happen to Abby

as long as nothing happens to me.

Okay?

You can count on Marvin.

He always does what exactly what he's told.

And it's always that's me to tell him.

What do you want?

You are a smart lady.

You pick up things really quickly.

You do.

You see what we have here

is a kidnapping for ransom.

But see, it's not just any kidnapping.

It's a perfect kidnapping.

And I know that perfect,

because I've done it 4 times before I caught you.

Take me to her, you son of a b*tch!

l know, I know exactly what you're thinking.

I'll tell you what happened to the other 4 kids.

I want you to know every single one of those kids

is right at this moment,

watching barney, swimming in the pools,

or riding the ponys, or whatever the f*** you have

for your rich little kids do.

It's all because I give the parents

the power to keep them alive.

If you follow the rules

and let me make my cost tomorrow

to keep him safe

Now, Karen. It's Okay.

I'll call him, Karen.

You keep that gun if you want.

If it makes you feel any better

but I just going to tell you

something about the gun, Okay?

You'll kill 2 people one for one.

Me and Abby.

May I?

Thanks.

It's a quite a place you got here.

Thank you.

We're previleged to have with us tonight

a young physician I first met

when he was a young Irish

medical student doing research

on disadaptive properties of Guiness,

If I remember correctly.

Since then, I have watched him progress

from intern to resident, to research scientist and

finally the best of all I think you'd agree.

"Paten holder"

Ladies and gentlmen,

Dr. William Jennings.

Why won't you let me empty our accounts

and give you the money now?

I don't think you have a backseat closet.

Another thing, it will look

a little suspicious, don't you think?

You see, unlike me,

most kidnappers are morons.

They all get busted the minute

they try to go for the ransom money.

They try all kinds of comlicated sh*t

but you know,

the fact the matter is,

no ransom pickup is safe from the FBI.

You see the statistics from this country.

Damn, zero kidnappings for ransom was successful.

and you know why?

It's because of the ransom pickup.

That's why I can't go to pick up any ransom.

Is that beautiful or what?

Why can't Abby be here right now?

Because this is a machine. Okay?

This is a machine that runs on fear.

Your fear for Abby.

Tell me the truth.

That's the only thing that kept you
