and number on those phones

or the 2 answering machines

or whatever.

You're right.

And we should have just

given it to the cabbie.

Okay, yeah, we should have.

That could have happened,

but it didn't happen.

This happened, okay?

Let's deal in reality.

What's on this f***in' thing?

What is all that?

Cyrillic.

What's that?

It's the Russian alphabet.

Man, look at all this.

This series of numbers,

this is how computers

talk to each other.

This is--this might be

why they want this.

Bobby, that's you.

My God.

$500,000?

What's on this phone, Bobby?

We need to go to the police.

City Hall?

There's a police station there?

Yeah.

Okay, we're gonna turn

all our phones off, okay?

They must be tracking the thing.

Listen to me, okay?

All right?

That's more like it.

Hi.

Hi, baby girl.

So what are you gonna

tell the police?

I'm just gonna tell them

what happened.

We'll give them the phone.

Hopefully that'll be that.

How can a phone

be worth $500,000?

That's a good question.

I don't know.

Hey.

Here you go.

Let's just put this

through first.

Hi.

We just found this in the back

of a cab a couple hours ago.

Since then, 3 different

people have called us.

What do you need?

We've been followed,

we've been chased.

We think that

there's something--

We witnessed a murder.

You witnessed a murder?

Yes.

All right, listen, you're

gonna need to speak to--

Hey, you're gonna need to speak

to Sergeant Hill.

Now, he's not here right now,

so what you need to do is sit

down on these benches back here.

When he gets back in,

I'll send him down,

and he'll talk to you, okay?

We just saw someone

get killed.

And we think it has something

to do with this phone.

Yeah, yeah...

lady, I get it.

We saw it.

I get it.

You need to speak

to Sergeant Hill.

Now, when he comes back in,

I'm gonna have him come down

and talk to you.

Go sit down on the benches back

there, okay?

Okay, can we leave this

with you?

No.

But it's not ours.

Well, it's not mine either,

honey.

Take your phone

and sit down on the bench.

Don't call her honey, please.

Easy--

Take your phone, sit down,

relax.

Yeah, how long you think

it'll be?

When the sergeant comes in,

he'll be back and talk to you.

How long do you think

it'll be, please?

I don't know.

Thank you.

Very helpful.

Thanks.

Sorry.

It's okay.

Okay, now we put this here.

Ta-da!

Okay.

Hey, it's going.

I'm gonna do this side here.

Daddy woke up.

How you like that?

What are you doing,

little raccoon?

So, how is Bobby doing?

Bobby's doing good.

How's his job?

His job is fine.

How are you?

How are the both of you?

We're doing good, Mom.

Good.
