I swear to God,

I will kill her and I will take you down.

Check this out.

Globular cluster.

Messier 3, I think.

Hey, who ate the ketchup chips?

Must've been the coyotes.

Pips' father: Grape juice?

Coyotes drink grape juice, too?

Hey, pips, see if you can find saturn.

I'm going for more grape juice.

For me.

Not you, me.

(Ankle monitor buzzes, startled gasp)

"Long is the way and hard,

that out of hell, leads up to light."

Good morning, sunshine.

You can call me sunshine, as long you promise to...

Ah, yes, letter of application.

Basic tactical operations course.

I'm signing it right now.

- Thank you, sarge. - My pleasure, Kira.

Everything okay?

Yeah.

Yeah, everything's fine. Just...

Just the way it always is.

(Phone rings)

(Phone beeps on)

Gerald?

Gerald: Hey, babe.

Where are you?

Gerald: Nearly home. How'd you sleep?

Penny: I didn't.

I kept hearing noises.

Gerald: But you know you're safe, right?

I know.

Gerald: Hey, you know what? Penny: What?

I've got a surprise for you.

You okay?

I'm gonna wet my pants.

Okay.

Come on.

Let's go.

Woman reporter: She's been missing for 12 hours.

Police say she was abducted last night

from a playground in Sault St. Marie.

Her mother says her back was turned for only a second,

and then, Lilly Deacon vanished.

Lilly was wearing a yellow dress and pink sandals.

She has long blonde hair

and a birthmark under her chin, shaped like a teardrop.

Police-- (cashier turns of TV)

Female cashier: Hey, guys. Gerald: Hi, restroom?

Yeah, out back. Hang on.

You need a key. Here you go.

Thank you.

Jules: Hey, sarge, Wordy said you wanted to see me?

Parker: Hey, Jules, grab a seat, will you?

Jules: Hm, that bad?

Psych evaluations.

You know they're mandatory, right?

Yeah, I do. I just, uh...

Just haven't signed up for one yet.

Everyone else has done theirs already

and I wanted to make sure things were copasetic.

Everything's copasetic.

Look. Look at me, I'm signing up right now.

You know, it's like this with you every year, Jules.

It's like, uh... nobody likes to do this.

I know, they just freak me out,

all those questions:

Who do you like better, your Mom or Dad?

You wanna garden or paint?

Fly a plane?

Jump on a train?

They're just questions.

No right or wrong answers.

That's the problem; I like right or wrong.

You shoot, there's a target, you hit it,

bulls-eye, bam, you go home.

It's true, you can be perfect.

You're scared to make mistakes,

it's gonna get in your way.

We're human, we're gonna get things wrong.

Hey, great. So, pump number two?

That's, uh, $47.28, please.

Hey, who's this? What's your name?

Jack.

He's a little shy.

Woman cashier: Oh.

Hey, Jack, uh, tell me...

(Candy wrappers crinkle)

What's your favorite flavor here, cherry or grape?

It's okay, it's on the house.

Cherry.

Okay, but here comes the cherry airplane.

(Mimics whir of airplane)

Up high it goes. (Half laughs)

(Lollipop crinkles)

How about some change?

Sure.

Sorry about that.

And here we go.

Thank you.

(Door chimes open)

(Gasps)

(Telephone buttons beep)

Dispatcher: 911.

Hi, yeah, um...

(Stammering) The missing girl, Lilly, Lilly something,

um, she's here, she's here at my gas station

and she's with a man and he has a gun.

Dispatcher: Ma'am, are you certain it's the child?

Yes, I'm absolutely sure. She's wearing boys clothes

and she has a birthmark underneath her chin.

Dispatcher: Okay, ma'am, I need you to stay calm,

but if you could get a licence plate?

Licence plate. (Slams phone on counter)

Licence plate.

Kira: Team One, gear up.

We have a sighting of missing child Lilly Deacon

travelling in a car --

licence plate: Romeo, 1, Bravo, uniform, 4, hotel, 8 -

registered to a Gerald Duglin,

60 Red Brick Lane, East Scarborough.

(Vehicle whirs by)

(Hip-hop music plays nearby)

(Alarm system beeps)

(Door opens and shuts)

Gerald: Penny?

You're home.

Gerald: I told you I was close.

Lilly: Hello?

I want you to meet someone.

Surprise.

Penny, this is Lilly.

♪♪

Kira: Team One, child services have been notified

and are standing by.

Uniform units are en route to secure the perimeter.

Parker: Copy that. Advise those units to use radio code only.

Media will be on their scanners and...

This girl's been going through enough without all that.

This guy's been driving all night;

Lilly Deacon was abducted, what? 500 miles north of here.

Gerald: You did a beautiful job, Penny.

It's clean, huh?

You could eat off the floor.

Why?

Why, what?

Why is she here?

Did I do something?

All right, what's going on?

Nothing. My son, he sent back another letter;

return to sender. Big surprise.

You gotta see him in person.

He's in Dallas, right?

You gotta go there.

It doesn't matter if they slam the door in your face.

Nah, I think I'm done, you know?

Gerald: Lilly,

follow me.

Come here.

This is really special, okay?

You are very important to me

and this is gonna help keep you safe.

(Ankle monitor clicks)

There. Now what do you say?

What do you say when someone gives you a present?

(Timidly) Thank you?

You're welcome. Here's how it works.

You gotta be close to a door or a window

and you're gonna feel a little buzz,

that's a warning.

And what happens if we don't pay attention to the buzz?

What happens if we go outside the house?

Penny: You cross the underground wire,

and the bracelet electric shocks you and you die.

But you know what?

It's better to die than to get caught by the police.

'Cause you know what happens if you get caught by the police?

They'll hurt you so bad, you'll wish you were dead.

Lewis: 11:32 a.m., armed abduction of a child.

Subject, Gerald Duglin, presumed to be in the residence

at 60 Red Brick Lane

with abducted child, Lilly Deacon.

This is where we have to stay until it's safe to go out again.

We have no choice.

It's what your parents wanted.

That's why they asked me to bring you here.

They didn't.

Yes, they did.

Your dad and I had a long talk

before we left last night.

My daddy wasn't there last night;

he was in Buffalo with my grandma.

We talked on the phone.

Come here.

First rule of the house: No talkback.

(Frightened breath)

You're probably hungry, huh?

That's good. Do you know why?

'Cause Penny's gonna make us lunch.

Penny?

Teenager next door confirmed

Gerald's car pulled in ten minutes ago.

He didn't notice a child.

As far as they know, he has no family,

no children,

and he is, quote, "quiet and keeps to himself."

Yeah, I'll bet.

- Did you see his windows? - Mm-mm.

Every single one of 'em frosted or shuttered.

Apparently, he's the contractor who built this development.

Mug shot.

(Streaming of information buzzes and beeps)

Parker: Okay. (Exhales heavily)

Our guys got two priors for sexual assault.

Spent a couple months in jail a decade ago

and he's got no weapons registered.

'Cept he's got one.

We have to have rules here;

Rules keep us safe. It's all really, really simple.

Hey.

Why don't I show you the rest of the house?

Come on.

I'll take you upstairs.

Gerald?

Yes, Penny?

Um, let me show her around.

You're making lunch.

I can make it later.

What?

She's tired. She only just got here.

I hear your voice one more time...

Please, just let me take care of her.

Lilly, no!

(Lilly yelps, electronic bracelet buzzes)

Gerald: Hey!

Lilly!

Lilly, come here.

Lilly: (Frightened gasps)

She's just scared, Gerald.

Penny, get in the closet.

No. Gerald, no.

In the closet.

Please, please, she didn't mean it! Gerald, no!

Enough.

I've had enough. That's enough, okay?

That's it, I've enough of you.

Okay?

(Door opens and shuts)

(Panicked breaths)

(Lock clicks)

(Irritated exhale)

(Shaky breaths)

(Inhales and exhales)

The mind is its own place and in itself

can make a heaven of hell, a hell of heaven.

(March of footsteps)

You know what I'm gonna do?

I'm gonna show you the rest of the house first.

We can explore.

You wanna see upstairs?

Come on.

(Alarm system beeps)

(Alarm system beeps)

(Alarm system beeps)

(Telephone ringing)

Come on, pick up the phone.

(Telephone ringing)

Hello?

Hello, Mr. Duglin?

This is Sergeant Gregory Parker

with the Police Strategic Response Unit.

Am I speaking with Gerald Duglin?

Mr. Duglin, a little girl has been abducted

and we have reason to believe that she's inside your house.

Now, if you and the other occupants can please exit,

we can start talking about how you can safely return Lilly to her parents.

If you're interested in her safety,

then you stay out of my house.

You step one foot in this house and I swear to God,

I will kill her and I will take you down.

(Slams phone on cradle)

(Telephone ringing)

(Drawer slams shut)

(Phone ringing)

No!

It's time.

They're here.

You know what to do.

I know what to do.

Come on, pick up the phone.

(Telephone ringing)

Gerald: Like we practiced. Like I showed you.

Lilly: What's happening?

Penny: Shhhh! They've come, okay?

Who? Who's come?

Don't worry, I'll protect you.

Come on.

Quick, Penny.

Okay, take that, take that.

But you're staying with us, though?

We're gonna need more ammo, okay?

We've got more in the basement.

We don't have any time. We don't have time.

Two minutes, I'll be right back,

I promise.

(Kiss) (Telephone ringing)

Without you, no life, okay?

Please, let me come... Let me come with you.

- No! Penny: Gerald, Gerald!

Please don't leave me.

Lewis: 11:43 a.m.,

first telephone contact terminated by subject.

Threats uttered to hostage and police units.

All right. He's not re-establishing.

- Hey, Ed? - Holding in position.

I can't re-establish. If you go in...

Dangerous for the girl, but if we don't go in...

Dangerous for the girl.

Copy that.

Ed: Spike, head away. Keeps your eyes on the front.

Spike: Copy that.

(Hip-hop song blares from car stereo)

(Ed turns up music)

Ed: We're in the garage.

(Nervous exhale)

Penny: Help me, help me tip the table.

(Papers rustle, table thuds)

Close the door.

We can't, he's coming back.

Lilly: How long do we have to stay in here?

As long as it takes.

(Contents of shelf clatters)

(Gunshot blasts)

Sam: Garage door breached.

Entry clear.

(Door clicks open)

Kitchen's clear. Boss?

Table's set for three.

(Whispers) Living room's clear.

He saw us coming.

Sarge?

I'm looking at a box for an electric dog collar.

Parker: He might have a containment around the house,

so let's cut the circuit.

Jules: First floor, clear.

(Ascending footsteps thud)

(Gun shells clatter)

(Shotgun clicks)

(Scraping sound nearby)

We got something downstairs.

(Shells click into place)

(Cocks shotgun)

We got eyes.

Okay, we've got Lilly Deacon with another young woman,

approximately 16 years of age, in...

Looks like the master bedroom,

and no sign of Duglin.

Let's transmit that to Kira,

see if she can ID that other girl.

Possible accomplice.

Hey, Sam, can you get another angle of the bedroom?

See if Duglin's in there?

(Whispers) Copy that.

He's not in there, boss.

Boss, Lilly's upstairs, correct?

Parker: That's affirmative.

Where are you?

Basement steps.

Police Strategic Response Unit.

Police, get down!

Ed: Hands in the air! Weapons on the ground!

Wordsworth: Police, let me see your hands!

Looks like somebody's been transcribing a book.

By hand.

"Paradise Lost."

Milton.

Adam and Eve in paradise. Good stuff.

Fire and brimstone; My dad's kind of book.

How long have you lived here?

A long time.

Don't you ever want to go home?

(Tap at the door)

Get down.

Guys, she's armed.

(Gunshot blasts) (Camera displays static)

Yes, she is.

Camera's down.

Parker: All right, standby for immediate action.

Let's get up closer to the house.

We're on the move. We're gonna need two units to lead us up.

Eddie, check in, where are you?

Boss, I don't how he did it,

but he's completely disappeared.

We lost him.

Go careful. Duglan's not upstairs,

we're on the move.

You heard that, right?

It's like a... Like a scraping sound?

Ed, look at these marks on the floor.

Go, go, go. (Cabinet scrapes)

Sarge, we found a tunnel.

We're going in.

Okay, you go for it, but keep me posted.

(Equipment rustles)

Sarge, I think I got a match on your girl,

I'm sending it through now.

Parker: Rap sheet? Any priors?

No, sir. Found her in missing persons.

Matches an aged-up picture of Penny westler.

Who?

Kira: Missing child, taken from her own backyard, 8 years ago.

Stranger abduction.

No arrest made.

Oh my God.

She must be 17 by now.

(sirens wail)

(Vehicles whir to a stop, sirens blare)

Parker: Okay, team, subject is on foot.

Constables Lane and Wordsworth are in pursuit.

We've got the neighborhood contained,

we need to get this under control now.

We're in front of the house now.

Change of plans, we're gonna talk this girl down.

Jules, I want you to do it.

Oh, sarge.

If you're right, this girl's been in here, like...

8 years.

We're dealing with some serious Stockholm syndrome.

She probably doesn't even know who she is anymore.

I know. And my bet?

He's conditioned her to fear the police and that's why she's firing.

Now, you're gonna be fine.

This girl has spent 8 years in captivity

at the hands of a man.

What she needs now is a female voice.

All right, but we're starting at ground zero.

I mean, I... I don't know if I know how to do this.

All right, I'm coming in.

Okay, wait.

Can you help me with a Stockholm?

Yeah.

And the first thing to remember?

There will be nothing simple

about her feelings for her captor.

Just follow the same rules as always:

Connect, respect...

Protect. Okay.

Parker: Okay? You just keep it simple.

By now, Penny's got a belief system

that has helped her survive whatever it is she's survived.

And it's not your job to tear that down,

it's your job to get these two girls

out of there safely, 'kay?

And I'm gonna stay right here

and be your second, inside your ear,

the whole time, all right?

Copy.

Spike, you go with Sam. You cover Jules.

(Blows out his breath)

Lou, we need to track down Penny's parents.

Get 'em here fast, but I need to talk to them first.

Lewis: Copy.

Parker: Eddie, what's your 20?

Ed: We're in a tunnel, heading west.

Okay, stay on it.

Kira, you wanna map this out for us,

tell us where the hell we are?

(Keys clack)

He's up ahead. Go! Go, go!

Hey girls, my name is Jules.

Parker: Slow down, Jules,

just work against the adrenaline.

Your names are Penny and Lilly.

Is that right?

Well, I'm a police officer

and I'm here to help you both.

You know, I'd really like to open these doors,

so that we can speak easier.

Is that okay?

All right, I'm opening the door,

but I promise you,

I'm gonna stay back here, all right?

Penny? Is that right?

The little girl that you have with you,

her name is Lilly Deacon.

And I'm really hoping that we can return her safely

to her mom and dad.

Can we can work that out? Can you help us out with that?

Get away from us! (Shotgun blasts)

Parker: Team status, everybody.

All: No harm, no harm.

(Breathing hard) Sarge?

Parker: De-escalate, Jules. De-escalate.

Whatever Penny's world was an hour ago,

it's a whole lot more confusing now. So just...

Just keep doing what you're doing,

just stay covered.

How do they know my name?

Shhhhh... Everything they say is a lie.

Penny, I know that you are very scared right now.

I mean, you got a gun with you

and guns are always scary,

but I, but I really believe that...

You don't want to hurt anyone. I really believe that, Penny.

So what do you think?

What do you think, can we get rid of the gun?

So that we can talk without being scared?

Penny, if you and Lilly don't say anything,

how am I gonna know that you're okay?

Leave us alone!

Gerald?!

Gerald?!

What did you do to him?!

Okay, okay, okay. Sarge?

I got Penny's parents on the line,

squad car's got them en route.

Parker: Jules? Jules, you're doing great.

That's great news; She made her first request.

She wants to know about Gerald.

Okay?

So, remember, just take your time, slow it down,

and get her to yellow.

Penny, I know that you want Lilly and Gerald to be safe,

so you know what, you know what I'm gonna do?

I'm gonna find out for you,

I'm gonna see where he is, and how he's doing.

Because I think the guys I work with,

they might know.

Do you want me to ask?

Yup.

Okay.

Guys, any word on Duglin?

The guy tapped into some tunnel system in the basement.

Guy knows what he's doing.

(Water dripping)

Ed: Kira, we're in a tunnel with railroad tracks.

Where are we?

(Keys clack)

Brickworks.

Whole subdivision used to be a brick factory.

Red Brick Lane, Kiln Avenue.

What's up ahead?

Kira: Which way you going?

Wordy: Still heading west.

Westbound tunnel ends in a warehouse.

You're gonna have to go up a level.

Where is he?

Where is he?

(Gunshot fires, tunnel crumbles)

(Muted chatter over police radio)

Mrs. Westler. Mr. Westler.

I'm Greg Parker, we spoke on the phone.

Mr. Westler: Where is she?

She's in that house,

but we need to be incredibly patient here.

We haven't seen our daughter in eight years.

You can't imagine.

I understand.

But Penny's exit from that house has to be on her terms,

at her pace.

If she's rushed in any way, she may freeze up,

she may escalate.

The only way we can get your daughter out of there safely

is if we help her choose to come out.

She seems nice.

Why can't we just go?

Because...

They'll capture us.

And what happens after that is...

What?

What?

It's complicated.

Have you heard of Anne Frank?

She was a little girl

who lived with her family in an attic for years,

waiting for it to be safe to go outside.

Because bad people were in charge,

and they sent police in

to drag people away to barbed wired prisons.

It was just like hell, but on earth.

Like devils and fire and people burning?

Exactly.

So that's just like now.

So we have be brave

and wait for Gerald to come back for us.

Jules: Penny, I found out about Gerald,

do you wanna hear?

Yeah.

Okay, well, this might sound kinda funny,

but we, we don't know where he is.

No.

No, you've captured him.

You had the house surrounded.

We saw it on the alarm screens. You surrounded us.

I know, I know that this seems impossible,

but he left.

No, he wouldn't leave.

Jules: Penny, I promise you.

There's a tunnel that leads out of the basement.

You're making fun of me?

No, I am not.

Penny, I would not make fun of you.

I know that you're waiting for Gerald to come back,

I can tell you care a lot about him.

(Reciting) "So dear I love him,

that with him all deaths I could endure, without him no life."

It's from the book.

(Crying)

He's gone. He's gone.

He's gone.

Penny?

It's okay. It's gonna be okay.

It's gonna be okay.

I wanna go home.

No. (Sniffles) No, no, no.

I wanna see my mommy and daddy.

No, they sent you here to be safe.

No, they, they didn't;

he made that up.

I'm going home.

No, Lilly, what're you doing?

I wanna go home, now.

Sarge, Lilly wants to come out.

(Gunshot fires)

(Shot fires)

You can't walk out there,

they're gonna send you to prison.

Jules: Lilly?

We're not gonna hurt you, I promise you, on my life,

we're not gonna hurt you.

(Panicked breaths) You can't walk out there.

Jules: Lilly, your mom and dad, they're on a plane;

they're coming in from Sault Ste Marie.

They're so excited to see you.

I'm going home.

Penny: Lilly?! I won't let them take you away!

Lilly: (Frightened gasp)

What's going on, guys?

Penny's holding her gun on Lilly.

She thinks Lilly's going into a trap.

Jules, I don't have eyes in, this is your call,

but if Penny is threatening Lilly...

She's not gonna hurt her.

Parker: Jules, stand down.

The little girl's the priority.

Parker: Sam. Sam: I have it.

She's not gonna hurt her.

Lilly, stay here.

Jules: Penny,

were not gonna take Lilly anywhere, unless she chooses to go.

There is no choice. That's what the book says.

Okay, I didn't read that book, Penny,

but this is what I know about choice, okay?

Gerald made a choice today; he chose to leave you.

And Lilly, Lilly's making a choice;

she wants to see her mom and dad.

And you made an amazing choice,

the most amazing choice,

because you just met this little girl

and you're protecting her

and not everybody would do that.

Penny.

Please, let her choose.

Please.

She's not gonna hurt her.

Penny: Lilly?! Don't go outside,

you'll cross the underground wire!

Penny, she's gonna be fine,

we cut the wire.

Why don't you look for yourself.

Why don't you look out the window, Penny?

Sam, hold off.

Lilly?

Sam: I have the solution.

(Shaky, startled breaths)

Spike: It's okay. Here you go. It's okay.

Okay, right down these stairs, okay?

There you go, that's great, good, good.

All right?

Right over here, okay?

You're gonna be okay.

Lilly: (Crying)

You're gonna be all right. You're gonna be fine.

Wordsworth: Ed.

(Shot fires, Wordsworth grunts)

That's a revolver, right?

Six in a chamber, that's number three.

(Shot fires and ricochets)

Four.

(Shot fires)

Five.

Where's six? Where's six? Where's six?

Penny!

Penny!

Oh my God!

You got it?

I got it.

Ed: Gerald, it's over.

Just put the gun down and come down those steps.

Hands in the air, hands where we can see 'em.

Gerald: Stop.

Okay, just stop.

Ed: All right, it's up to you.

Just put the gun down and come down

or we will come in there.

You have five seconds.

You don't understand. No one does.

Explain it to me, Gerald.

This isn't what I wanted.

Yeah? What did you want?

To be happy, just like anybody else.

You're not like everybody else, Gerald.

Put the gun down!

(Tight inhale and exhale)

I can't.

Without her, no life.

(Shot fires, Gerald crashes on ground)

There's six.

- Jules. - It's okay.

Penny?

Thank you for letting Lilly choose.

He said I'd die if I left the house.

Penny...

No. No, you have him.

We don't, we don't.

You have him and he isn't coming back.

We don't! We do not have him.

No! Without him, no life!

Okay, Penny.

Penny, please, please.

Two minutes, that's what he said.

He said two minutes. He promised.

He said he was coming back.

(Whimpers)

It's not true, is it?

He isn't coming back, is he?

Sam: Sarge, she's got her gun on Jules.

Jules, you gotta control this thing.

I have the solution.

Copy that, Sam. Your call, it's your call.

No, please.

Sarge, you gotta let me do this.

She's gonna be okay.

Okay, Penny, I wanna help you go home.

I wanna help you remember the girl that you used to be.

Good thinking, Jules.

I'll get the mother on it -

feed her memories.

Sarah, I need you to tell us about your child.

Anytime that she felt joy,

or safe, or loved, or thrilled or anything.

I remember the snow storm in the country.

We were walking, trying to get to the house...

There was a snow storm, you and your parents...

Sarah: And then we lost her. Remember we couldn't find her?

And my heart was pounding...

Jules: And only for a minute, they couldn't see you,

because of all the snow...

Mike: Yeah, and then we did.

We scooped up pips and we took her home.

And you got to stay up late.

Do you remember that?

And they gave you three desserts.

Oh, mosquito netting.

She used to have it over her bed, like a canopy.

...a canopy that was like a tent,

and there were all these stuffed animals underneath.

The telescope she got when she was nine,

it's still there, it's still in her room.

Jules: Man, I wanted a telescope so bad when I was a kid.

Saturn?

I don't even know where that is,

but I guess you do.

'Cause that's what your parents are saying.

They're right outside, Penny.

They're right outside, they're waiting for you.

Come on, pips.

Come on.

Come on, pips.

P... (Quivering)

Pipsqueak.

That's what it means, right?

Yes, that what that means.

I know you're really scared, Penny.

I know, I totally understand.

But outside, that great big world...

It's even prettier than the one in your room.

It's your choice.

It's your choice.

It's up to you.

- (Sobs) - Yes.

(Gun clunks on floor)

'Kay...

Okay, you're safe.

They're outside.

They're right outside.

(Muted chatter over police radio)

Her time... Her time.

(Apprehensive, shaky breaths)

Parker: Let her come to you.

Parker: Julianna Callaghan, you made me proud.

Yeah, and I wasn't even perfect.

Parker: No, you weren't. (Jules chuckles)

You were human;

that's what those girls needed,

that's what they both needed to get out safe.

Screwing up and being human --

my biggest fear.

Copy that.

Look what happened...

The planets aligned.

It was a good day, right?

You coming for a drink? I'm buying.

No, actually, I'm gonna go do something.

But I'll see you Monday?

Yeah.

Right.

(Small sigh)

Your e-ticket and credit card.

Better hurry, it's the last flight.

Dallas. Long way to go for two days.

Not as long as it took me to do this.

This one's for focus, right?

Yeah. Yeah, it's for focus.

Dad?

The stars, they're still there.
