Original subtitles

You know what this looks like?

He's in the middle of a custody battle.

His ex said he missed their court appointment,

and now he and Anna are gone.

Joe wouldn't run.

Then where did that little girl go?

We've got blood, ladies and gentlemen.

Come on, Joe, answer.

- Destefano. - Yeah, it's me.

Oh, my God, you're okay.

Is Anna with you?

No, she's gone.

Where is she?

She went into the room.

She went into the room and she's gone.

Joe, you need to come home.

We'll figure this thing out.

They're already thinking the worst.

They found blood on a door.

What about the body? There was a burned body.

We didn't find a body.

They just wanna know what happened to Anna.

Well, she's alive, Lou.

Listen, I need you to do a background check for me

on a guy that Iggy called The Weasel.

Joe?

I gotta go.

Hello?

Oh, Jeez.

Where'd you come from?

What?

Where were you two minutes ago?

Texas.

Let this be a lesson to you all, cowboy,

that no man shall judge, tease, or criticize another man.

You can't be mean. You shouldn't be mean.

Being me...

- Wally. - Oh, hi.

I suppose it's possible.

There's a chance...

a very small chance...

that you could bring your kid back out of this room.

Well, tell me how I can do it.

Well...

sometimes...

when you start getting objects together...

weird things happen,

new things,

new properties totally unpredictable.

Take the watch. Useless, right?

- The watch? - Wrist watch.

It cooks eggs. Nothing else, just eggs.

Put an egg in the middle, hard boils it.

I don't know how somebody figured that out, but they did.

Anyway, nobody used to care much about the watch,

until one day somebody found out

that if you put the watch and the knife together,

you get a kind of telepathy.

So you're saying that if I find the right object and I use it with the key...

I don't know. Joe, it's a million to one.

I'll take it.

Whatever you do, don't lose the key.

If you lose it, you'll never get her back.

Cop's kid vanished.

Him, too.

It's not right.

We need to find the key before The Weasel.

Before.

Lou.

I got sample of Anna's blood from the hospital,

and I ran it against what we found in the storage room.

It's a match.

Do you think you can lose our report for a little while?

Lou...

24 hours, tops.

- Thanks, Marty. - Yeah.

Ignacio's personal effects?

Yeah.

What?

Dr. Ruber, I compiled all the death certificates

for the burn victims like you asked.

Yeah?

But I ran into trouble on one of them.

What's the problem?

A burn case from '93. He's still alive.

His name is Milton Vrang.

Is this a trick?

No, not at all.

Whenever I talk about it, they up my meds.

You're safe.

You can tell me anything.

I'll tell you what I used to believe.

Not what I believe now, because now I'm healthy.

What I used to believe is that there were these things

spread throughout the world

that looked like ordinary things, but weren't.

But if you could find all these things,

they would lead a path,

and you could know the mind of God.

I used to believe I belonged to a cabal,

a group that was dedicated to collecting

all the objects for this holy purpose.

But some of the objects...

are full of holy fire.

You... you see, when I was...

when I was touched with the pen...

It burned. It burned.

- A pen? - Yes.

A ballpoint pen?

Did they... did they send you to kill me?

- Who? - The Order.

No.

Mr. Vrang,

I need you to tell me everything you know, please.

Please.

Tell me about the key.

What the hell?

It took you long enough, Detective.

Make sure you get all of them.

One of these radios is an object.

I'm trying to figure out which one.

By smashing it?

You can't break an object.

Haven't you learned anything yet?

I guess that's the one.

It's supposed to make you three inches taller

if you tune it to the right station.

Fascinating.

So who are you?

Jennifer Bloom.

One of the dead men in the pawn shop,

Marco Cordova, I knew him.

He was my second.

My partner... former partner.

Went rogue about six months ago.

He took the key.

Joe...

If I wanted, I could have killed you

the moment you walked in here, but I didn't.

That's not what we're about.

Rule number one, we don't kill... ever.

And who's we?

We're called The Legion.

We're trying to get rid of the objects for good,

all of them.

We track the owners, make contact,

ask them to give us their objects, join our cause.

Does that ever work?

I've had people beg me.

Tell me...

since you've found the key,

has your life gotten better or worse?

My daughter went into the room.

And I need the key to bring her back.

The Legion can help you.

Let us.

How are you going to help me?

Join and I'll tell you everything.

Right.

Joe, wait.

Leave it.

I think I'll skip naptime today.

We need you, Joe, and you need us.

Hi. I'm a friend of Milton Vrang's,

and I'm calling about The Order of the Reunification.

I didn't order anything.

The number you have dialed has been disconnected.

- Hello? - Hello.

I'm a friend of Milton Vrang's.

I'm calling about The Order of the Reunification.

The Order?

Yes, the new religion.

Is that him?

Yeah, that's him.

I shouldn't even be here.

I'm just gonna make you a target.

Enough with that.

We're in this thing together, all the way, all right?

Whatever the hell this thing is.

Partners.

What's his name?

Howard Montague.

- Yeah. - The Weasel.

Howard Montague.

We'll open an investigation and make it official.

Come on, what would we even say?

We don't say anything. We just show them the key.

I can't risk losing it.

The key's my only shot at bringing Anna back.

Well, at least make a statement and clear your name.

We'll look for Anna together.

Let me help you.

Yeah, sure, Lou.

All right.

Now, we've gotta talk to Lee.

She's smart. She won't flip out.

At least I don't think she will, do you?

Now you know killing me won't bring your little Anna back.

Then you better tell me what will.

May I remind you you're an officer of the law?

Say that again.

Say that again!

If you lie to me, you're dead, understand?

Is there an object that can bring her back?

In concert with the key, yes.

What is it?

- Tell me! - Not unless you let me go.

No deals.

Listen, you ever want to see your kid again,

you will deal with me.

I get you the object, you give me the key.

That's the deal.

When I get my daughter back, I'll give you the key.

When she's safe.

Deal.

Give me the pen.

It's mine.

I don't want you sticking it in my ribs

the next time I turn around.

Now reach into your pocket.

Drop it.

What else you got?

Underpants, too, Montague.

This is idiotic. My underwear is not an object.

Well, then I'm sure you won't miss them.

I hope you're proud of yourself.

Are any of those things the object I'm looking for?

No. Don't be stupid.

Good.

Whoa. Whoa, whoa.

That's, that's my...

The pen. It's still there.

And it moved.

The object survived the reset.

Maybe that's where it's supposed to go.

You really read this stuff?

I used to teach it before I was unjustly terminated.

Come here, look. My masterpiece.

It's a map of all of the objects,

their relationship to one another.

You see?

Over here's the key.

Pivotal object, very powerful.

What's this?

Oh, the prime object,

the one that connects everything.

They say that the prime object controls all of the other objects.

And it will bring my daughter back?

If you use it with the key, yes.

What is it?

The clock.

Are you sure Kreutzfeld has the clock?

Oh, yeah.

He's an object collector.

He uses the pawn shops to comb for objects.

Keeps everything up on the third floor,

but security is tight.

Why does he need so much protection?

Maybe he's afraid someone's gonna try to steal the clock.

Thank you. Just keep the change.

Stop making phone calls if you want to live.

- I have questions. - Bring us an object.

You'll get answers.

Kreutzfeld converted this place

to be the most anti-key house you could ever think of.

See? He built a permit in '96.

Yeah, the front door is a sliding door.

No pin tumbler lock. The key won't work.

Every door in this house slides, even the closets.

You can't get inside with a key.

This area here is bullet-proof glass, three layers thick.

You see these doors? They all have electronic locks.

You need a pass card to get through them.

So once the alarm system is triggered...

You're sealed in, sitting ducks.

You realize now why I've never attempted this.

Let's check the original plans against these revised plans.

Where did this door go?

There were two doors going into to this room,

and now there's only one.

There's a wall.

- He got rid of that. - Yes.

Made it more secure that way.

I know how we're getting in.

He's got lots of guards.

You're gonna have to shoot them all.

How many bullets do you have?

If I shoot anybody, it's gonna be you.

That's not very collaborative.

What's the most powerful object you can think of?

The key.

No, I mean dangerous, like a weapon.

The eye. The glass eye.

Nobody's seen it in years. You'll never find it.

What does the eye do?

Well...

to tell you the truth...

- Shut up. - All right.

Get a message to your boss.

Tell Kreutzfeld I have a present for him, The Weasel.

I wanna make a trade.

Meet me out front, and don't try anything funny.

I have the eye.

You son of a...

- Will you shut up? - I was trying to help you!

I'm not gonna give you over to Kreutzfeld.

- I'm just trying to clear the house. - Clear the house?

How are we supposed to get in there now?

With the key.

There are no viable doors in that house.

There's one.

Close the door.

It's our only way out.

We're never gonna make it back downstairs.

Now close it.

I want the entire building secured.

Protect the upstairs.

Back to bed, kiddo.

Okay?

Easy.

Hands out to your sides.

Get his access card.

What's the code?

What's the code?

Stay.

Anthony, have you secured upstairs?

Anthony?

They're upstairs.

Dormant objects.

Their properties haven't been discovered yet.

Where's the clock?

You didn't think he'd leave it out in the open, did you?

Hand me the axe.

What?

You can't... you can't expect to open a safe with an axe.

The door!

It's still here?

Sometimes they build over 'em.

Sometimes?

- Open it! - I can't.

Break it down.

- It's bullet proof. - Break it down.

Look out, look out!

Hurry up!

Joe, we've got a problem.

There's no knob. There's no lock.

We can't use the key.

Come on!

What the hell you doing?

Check the bag.

A door knob?

This is your plan, huh? You're remodeling.

Plug it in.

Couldn't get a cordless, huh?

- Shut up and plug it in. - Right.

Kill the power in the study.

Uh-oh.

Get that light over here.

Is that knob gonna work?

I mean, does that count?

Now the next one!

Hurry it up!

Come on!

- Light. I need light. - Right!

Come on! Come on! Come on!

Come on!

Oh, my God.

Not without the clock!

Come on!

Hurry up.

Don't stop! Come on!

Detective Miller, there are events in motion

that are far greater than you could understand,

I will help you.

I will get you anything you want,

but I must have that key.

Get 'em!

Look out.

I used to know a safecracker.

It's possible I could look him...

There it is.

There it is.

Now what do I do?

To bring my daughter back, what do I do?

Open it?

You better know what the hell you're talking about.

Please bring my daughter back.

Please, bring my daughter back.

This can't be. It's impossible.

It's the prime object. It's the clock!

It has to be! I'm right. I'm always right.

Look, we had a deal.

I get you that clock, you give me the key.

When my daughter is safe!

It doesn't work in the room.

No, no, no!

Umm... hello?

We'll bring you in. We'll show them the key.

We'll blow the whole thing wide open.

There won't be a case against you after this.

And then we'll get Anna back,

whatever it takes, I promise.

Destefano.

Hi, Lou, it's Martin.

Ruby!

What sweet wind blows in my direction?

I need to see you and Joe Miller.

It's important.

It's about the key.

This isn't just a random collection of things.

There is something going on.

Some people think that these things are a way

to communicate with God.

Some say the objects are God.

Come on.

I am not saying I believe that.

I don't know what I believe.

It's just...

Can I see the key... please?

I just have to know if it's real.

I've been waiting all my life...

for something.

It's this.

We can't tell anyone.

Rube, we got to clear Joe.

They'll put him away for kidnapping or worse, murder.

We have to show them the key.

I've got to save my daughter, Ruber.

And Lou's right, I can't do it alone.

I don't have any other choice.

Your daughter is gone.

And I'm so sorry for you.

But you can't bring her back.

We have to keep the key to ourselves.

We have to use this.

I've made my decision.

Martin.

Give me the key, Joe.

Hey, Rube! Come on, this is crazy.

Whose side are you on?

My side.

Lou!

Don't make me shoot you, Joe!

Give me the key, Joe.

Okay.

Just take it easy.

You want the key, Ruber?

Oh, my God.

Helen, wait!

Helen?

It's okay. It's okay. It's okay.

Homicide. Can I help you?

Yes, I need to report a murder.

Detective Joe Miller...

just shot Lou Destefano, his partner.
