Original subtitles

Good morning, folks.

It's 4:45 on your Tuesday.

Most of the city's still waking up.

And if you're just tuning in, I need you to listen closely.

We're following breaking news this morning

after four inmates escaped from the Franklin County Jail

late Sunday night.

According to investigators, the inmates worked together

to exploit a routine transfer window inside the facility.

During the breakout, a guard was stabbed

and is currently in intensive care.

That officer is fighting for his life this morning.

Two of the escapees were found hiding

in an abandoned auto repair shop after three days on the run.

That leaves two still out there.

One of those men has been identified as Michael Ander--

I'm up.

- I'm gettin' up. - No. I got it.

I got it.

You worked late last night.

Are you sure you don't wanna stay?

Boo!

- You just scared the crap outta me! - Your face!

I am so gonna get you.

I hope so.

You're so… you're so persistent.

Can you blame me?

Know what it's like being married to you?

Look at you, you're glistening.

Mom? Where's my practice jersey?

See, that's what happens

when you scare me into waking up the whole house.

- No. - Yeah.

Mom?

- Ah! - Mom!

You know what, bud?

See if you can find your own clothes today, huh?

The two escapees

were apprehended late last night,

after hiding out in an abandoned auto-repair shop

for the past three days.

The group of four inmates escaped from Franklin County Jail on Sunday.

The escape left one prison guard fighting for his life--

- This is crazy. - …in intensive care,

after receiving a knife wound. The two remain--

Okay, can we focus on homework?

We gotta leave in 10.

Mom, this is so stupid. School ends in three days!

Yeah? I know that,

but then, after Christmas, you've only got another semester

before high school, and that is a big deal.

And you have to know basic algebra if you want to get into Paquette!

If I wanna go to college at all.

What?

Everyone knows college is overrated.

Dad didn't go to college, and he makes bank.

If I had, I wouldn't have had to apprentice all those years.

And then, I'd be making even more bank.

Life is more than just money, right?

- Honey? - That's right.

I know that math is challenging.

But algebra's more like… it's like a puzzle.

And puzzles can be fun, right?

Here.

Think of it like this.

It's like a weight scale,

and you have to keep it even on both sides.

Otherwise, what happens?

It topples over, right?

So, if this side over here

is 27 times 7,

then what do you got?

Uh, okay. Uh, let me try.

Yeah.

Good!

- You're gonna go to college, buddy! - Yes! Oh.

- Beautiful. - One more thing.

My business would have never gotten off the ground

if your mother wasn't running the books back then.

Trust me, pal.

All the important stuff…

it was on your mom's shoulders first.

Thank you, honey. Thank you.

Okay. Have a great day. Here you go.

Oh, I'll be… Thank you.

…home a little late this week. Like, 8 o'clock.

Let me know if you need me to pick up the food.

No, it's okay. I got it.

Love you. Love you, buddy!

Okay, come on! Pack up. We gotta go.

Oof! Come on, come on, come on.

Okay. You got it?

Yeah, a new ID.

A good one.

Yeah, that's fine, that'll work, um,

but I need a… I need a clean ride, too.

I need something that's fast, okay?

How much money we talking?

- Mom. I'm going over to the Simpsons'-- - Nuh-huh! Homework first.

We're not doin' it at the breakfast table again.

So, I was thinking…

Yeah, hun?

Mr. Carelli…

Now might be a great time for us

to review our year-end taxes.

Oh. Great time.

So you don't wanna get an audit, do you?

No, I don't wanna get an audit, oh gosh.

Those naughty IRS guys.

- So, Ms. Carelli. - Yes?

Would you like a standard deduction?

Or would you prefer me to go…

item by item?

Whew.

- Itemized for sure. - Ah.

Please be good!

- Mom? - Yeah?

I'm gonna bike over to Tim's.

Okay.

Bike's gonna need air!

Mom! Where's the pump?

Uh, it's in the cabinet on the left.

Mm, that's good.

Agh!

Bennett!

You okay?

Hey. What happened?

I hate this stupid bike.

Oh no, uh… Do you want me to get you a bandaid?

I'm fine, Mom.

- Just be home by dinner, all right? - Yep.

Don't move.

Where's your kid goin'?

Hey, answer me. When's he coming ba--

- No! No! - Ah!

Hey. Hey.

You scared now?

Of course you are.

I'm gonna ask you a few questions. All right?

You just nod your head yes.

Or you wag your head no, you got that?

Mm-hmm.

You have any idea who I am?

Then you know I have nothing to lose.

So don't mess with me again.

Is there a safe in the house?

Mm-hmm? Mm-hmm?

Purse? Yeah, I know.

I got that already.

Is this all the cash that you have in the house?

Huh?

Hmm?

I can't… I can't fence jewelry right now.

What's the… what's the ATM card limit on this?

Huh?

- How much? - 500 per day.

500.

Does your husband keep cash on him?

We… have a checking account.

There's thousands of dollars in it. We could just go to the bank.

Please.

What time does John get home?

5:30.

He's coming with a bunch of his friends from work.

We should leave right now--

I…

John's working late this week, do you remember that?

He's home around eight?

Wanna start screwing with me again?

- No. No! - Huh?

Good.

Who is that?

- That's the mailman. - Why is the mailman ringing the doorbell?

He just… he does that all the time, he's just being nice.

He'll go away.

He'll leave.

1-Adam-12. Dispatch.

1-8-1-2. Go ahead.

Auto accident at 716, S. Grave.

Follow reports--

You.

You just remember.

I'm always a step ahead.

Mom!

Bennett!

Run…

Mom!

Can Tim stay for dinner?

Mom? You down there?

- Mom? - Close your eyes!

Close your eyes, baby, close 'em!

Don't open them, don't open them. Please, he didn't see anything!

They didn't see you.

Please, just let them go, they didn't see anything!

Did you see my face?

- No, sir. - Hmm?

Just let them go, they didn't see anything.

What color skin do I have?

What color skin do I have?

White.

Beard?

- I don't know. - Short hair or cropped?

- I don't know-- - Short hair or cropped?

- I don't know-- - Quick! Quick! Quick!

I don't know!

They're innocent. Just let them go.

- Shut up! - No!

You have a really smart mom, you know that?

What?

Are you stupid? Are you dumb?

Can you not hear me?

I said you have a really smart mom!

- Yes sir, she is. - Yes sir, she is.

Now move. Move!

Keep your eyes closed, baby!

Please!

Face the wall.

- Hands behind your back. - Oh, God!

Warren, you watch 'em close, get me?

They gotta piss? They can do it in their pants.

Eyes closed. Don't let 'em see your face.

They didn't see anything.

You just can let them go…

You think you're really smart, huh?

- Oh, God. - Let me ask you something.

Can you count?

Oh God.

- I ca… - I said count!

Okay.

- One, two, three, four, five. - Yeah.

That's right. That's more than enough for you.

For Bennett.

For his little friend, Tim.

And for John when he gets home.

Do you get me?

Yes.

So if you try to fight me again.

Or you try to run off.

Or you try to call the cops, I'm gonna know.

Oh.

- Hm? - Okay.

I'm so… I can't hear you.

- I won't! - One more time.

I won't fight you.

I won't fight. I promise.

- I won't fight. - Good.

Now.

I'm hungry.

How do you like your steak?

What do you mean?

How do you like it cooked?

Rare?

Medium?

I never… I never been asked that before, I…

What's the fanciest way?

Uh, rare.

- Medium-- - And how do you eat 'em?

Rare.

Do it like that then.

And make two plates.

Two?

How many inmates escaped outta Franklin County?

Four.

And how many got caught?

Two.

Ding, ding, ding, ding.

I knew you was good at math.

My cell mate's down there

with your boy and his little friend.

And Warren…

he's an animal.

Got locked up for rape and homicide.

He doesn't care if his steak is rare or medium rare

or whatever.

Plate it.

Come here. Go against that wall.

Over there.

Turn around.

Turn around, back to me.

Close your eyes.

Tight.

You move one inch…

One inch, I blow away your kid. You get me?

Mm-hmm.

Now count to 15.

Slow and loud. Loud enough I can hear you.

Go!

One…

two…

three…

four…

…five…

- …si-- - Relax. I got a plan.

If she screws with us, kill 'em.

I don't care if they're kids, kill 'em both.

Seven…

eight…

nine…

ten…

…eleven.

Twelve…

- thirteen-- - Yeah, yeah. You're good.

Now get back in the kitchen.

Get back in the kitchen! It's my turn now.

My plate.

Time for my plate.

What about the neighbor kid's parents,

how long until they come looking for him?

He eats here pretty often.

So not for another, probably…

two or three hours.

Rare, huh?

It means there's still blood in it.

I think I like it rare too.

I like it just fine.

Mm.

I like that little move you did downstairs, too.

Tellin' your kid to close his eyes.

That was smart.

That made it better for both of us, 'cause…

I mean, I'll kill if I have to,

but it's better for everybody if I'm not put in that position, you get me?

And you.

I bet you really love him, huh?

I bet you'd die for him if you were put in that position.

Yeah. If I had to. Yes.

Yeah, I figured.

Must be nice.

Sit down, please. Sit… sit down.

You're making me nervous.

You want some?

No.

- Oh. - What you doing? What's going on?

I'm sorry, I just feel like, woozy.

Come on, get up, get up. Let's go.

Hey, hun, great news!

We wrapped up early today!

Ah, you wouldn't believe it,

the tile for the downstairs bathroom came in today!

They just about lost their mind.

Shut down work for about an hour waiting

for the interior designer to come--

Ah, ah, ah, ah, no, no, no.

That's not smart.

I'm so sorry, baby. I'm so sorry.

Good boy.

That's a good boy, ain't it?

I see why you married him.

Wrap his wrists tight!

More!

Tape his mouth.

Okay. Okay! Okay.

- Bennett? - He's downstairs.

With Tim and the other one.

I love you.

I love you.

All right. All right, all right. That's enough.

Let's go, let's go!

Good luck.

All right, grab his wallet.

Same ATM card limit?

Yeah.

Bennett said John made bank.

Damn it!

Are you lying?

Are you lying to me?

No.

- No. - Huh?

- No. - No?

You wouldn't, would you?

- No. - Okay, good.

Just take John's keys.

Just take his keys, please.

You could… you could tie me up.

And then you could drive away.

You could just go anywhere you want.

Please. Nobody has to get hurt.

Just take his keys, okay?

Get up.

Get. Up. Get up!

Now!

- Okay. - Go!

Move.

There's no visual inside the house.

SRT is in position.

Units responding, be advised,

suspects believed armed.

Children possibly inside.

No contact made.

Copy.

All teams in position?

All teams ready.

Street remains quiet.

Copy.

Analysis complete.

No response at the door.

10-4.

Be advised, two juveniles walking southbound in the street.

Copy. Continue observation.

Copy.

Shots fired! Shots fired!

Verifying shots.

No, stand down, stand down! It's just kids playing. Stand down!

No… No!

John! John, wait--

Friendly incoming! Friendly incoming!

Dad?

Oh, my God.

Are you hurt? Are you okay?

Where's Mom?

Where's Martha?

Where's Mom?

I couldn't see them, but I heard them.

He took her, Dad. He took her.

That's good. Just keep driving.

Look at that, huh?

Open road.

And my own personal chauffeur.

- What about my family? - What?

What about my family?

Which one you wanna talk about?

Your coward husband?

Or your son?

Because I'm thinkin'…

Warren has a knife to little Bennett's throat

right this second.

Please.

Please just don't let him hurt him.

Hey, hey, hey, hey.

Warren's an animal.

But he's my dog, okay?

So he's not going to kill your kid unless I tell him to.

So you just be good.

You be good.

And you don't make me make that call.

You understand?

Okay.

Breakin' out of Franklin County,

not one in a million could pull that off.

How'd you do it?

That's the only good thing about prison,

you got plenty of time for thinking and planning.

If you have the mind for it, though.

Left up here.

If you don't mind my asking, how did you even end up in prison?

You know…

If you would spend one night

outside of your little suburban bubble

of roses and rainbows, you wouldn't even have to ask me that.

Do you even know what foster care is?

Have you ever heard of the system?

- Yeah, sure. - Yeah, well, once you're in it…

you're screwed.

I bounced around from home, to home, to home, to home,

and the people who are raising you…

in those houses…

are bigger monsters than the ones in prison.

And so you learn to take care of yourself really fast.

If they don't break you first.

That sounds awful.

You just gotta be tough.

And if you do make it out,

there's not many prospects after, you know what I mean?

Like…

I had a record before I had a driver's license.

Actually, I never got my driver's license,

so it's a good thing that you're driving, huh?

Yeah.

Yeah, uh…

I knocked over some stores.

And I had this one scheme, right?

Robbing these hotel tourists.

But I just… I hadn't learned how to use this yet.

So here I am, looking at a 20-year stretch,

I'm not even old enough to go to college.

Not like I was heading there anyway.

Not like your boy.

He… he seems smart.

Smart enough anyway.

Thank you.

It's…

You probably already know this,

but um, I'm Martha Carelli.

Michael Anderson.

I know what you're doing.

- I know what you're doing. - What am I doing?

Trying to connect with me so it's harder for me to kill you.

No, what? Is that what you wanna do, you wanna k…

you wanna kill me?

Maybe.

But right now…

I need a driver, all right?

I can't have somebody's grandma spotting me at a crosswalk,

so you just keep on driving.

And you remember.

And you drive straight.

Because one call to my cellie, Warren, and your kid is dead.

You understand?

Yeah.

Now get on.

Okay.

I understand,

but John, I need you to think.

Did Martha say anything else about the companion?

- No. - Even the smallest detail.

I'm telling you that's all she said.

She said the other one was in the garage.

And then she said good luck and that she loved me.

We've got every cop in the state

working to find Martha.

And this hasn't been released yet,

but Anderson's cellmate, Warren Dunn…

was caught earlier today.

So he couldn't have been at your house.

Get out here. Come on.

Screw this on there.

That should buy us some time.

Time for what?

You've seen my face.

I have to kill you now.

Bah!

You should see your face!

Your face!

I don't think you wanna kill anyone.

Oh, yeah?

I think you've just been pushed around by the world.

And now that's what you wanna do.

Push people around.

You think you know me.

I know a kid when I see one.

And you're just a kid with a gun.

I'm just a kid?

I'm just a kid with a gun, huh?

I left some things outta my story earlier.

Those armed robberies at the hotel.

They were all women.

And I didn't just rob them.

This is how you like it, right?

Doing your taxes?

You have taken everything…

everything from me!

You have beaten me.

You tied up my husband.

You are holding my child captive!

If you wanna shoot me, then shoot.

But you will not violate me.

I think maybe you belong in jail.

You are a crazy bitch!

Relax.

It's a joke.

You are not my type, Momma.

I like 'em a lot younger.

Enough screwing around.

We got work to do.

Get in.

Get up! Get out, get out, come on!

- Let's go! - Okay. Okay!

- Yeah. Get in here. - What?

- Get in the car! - Okay.

Get in!

Please don't hurt me. Please don't hurt me.

Drive!

Drive!

Please.

Go go go!

That's how you do it!

That's how you do it, baby!

Wooo!

Dad.

Dad?

I don't like pepperoni.

Oh.

Sorry, bud.

Um…

Can I order you some Chinese food?

Okay.

Detective!

Woo!

17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23… 25…

Doug?

Is that your name? Doug?

Yeah?

I'm… Martha.

- You're gonna be okay… - Shut up.

Shut up. I'm losing count!

I'm counting back here!

Well, putting another person in danger is not gonna help you.

Hmm.

Know what, Martha? Maybe you're right.

You know what, I think you're right, I think…

sometimes we hurt people and we don't realize it until later.

But that doesn't make us a monster.

Boo!

Or does it? Huh?

Huh?

Oh. Oh, I'm sorry.

Should… should I tell him that I'm sorry, Martha?

Should I… tell him I'm sorry?

Come on, relax, huh? Relax!

We just made five grand!

At least I did.

And you survived, that ain't nothin'.

Michael, you should let him go.

Doug doesn't know anything.

Oh, whoa! Whoa.

Are you gonna let her talk to you like that, Dougie?

Hey. Hey!

Tell her.

Tell her, say, "I have a little bit of smarts,

I've got some smarts."

Tell her, Dougie!

Come on, tell her!

I bet you already figured out who I am, huh?

- I bet you figured out… - No, no.

- …I'm the guy from the news… - No!

- …the escaped convict. - No, it's gonna be okay.

No, she doesn't know that, Doug! She doesn't know that.

She can't promise you anything, okay?

You might be okay. You might not be okay.

You just drive.

West, to the interstate.

Wait. Wait, no.

No, no, no, no. Go to a gas station.

Tank's low.

We need a full tank to get to where we're headed.

Now, that Atlanta number you found

goes to a man named Tyson Baker.

Now, he was at Franklin County with Anderson,

but he was released six months ago.

Okay…

Now, it's a good bet that Anderson is trying

to meet up with him to get a new identification.

- Did you pick him up? - No, not yet.

We've got units sitting on his place.

If Anderson shows up, we got him.

Uh, sixty… sixty on pump two out there.

Thanks.

Get in.

He's going to kill us.

He's…

No, no, no. You gotta… you gotta breathe.

Slowly. Slowly, in, in, in…

Just slowly.

Hold on, I got something here.

Ah.

Here, use this.

Slowly in.

Slowly in.

Slowly out. There you go.

There you go.

Slowly. Slowly in.

Slowly out.

There you go. Shhh. It's okay.

What's so funny?

I was an EMT before this,

and… and changed careers to avoid

high-stress situations.

How hard did he hit you?

I went unconscious.

How long?

I don't know.

Your pupils are dilated and uneven,

you almost certainly have a concussion.

Bad headache?

Yeah. Like a train hit me.

We need to get you to a hospital.

Gettin' awful friendly in here.

Get out.

Vending machines.

Snacks.

Lots of 'em.

And you remember, one wrong move

and your new buddy here goes bye-bye, okay?

Martha?

Martha Carelli! Oh, my gosh, it is you!

It's Nancy!

From Professor Chan's lit class!

It's been years!

Delta Iota forever!

Uh. Nancy!

Of course, hi! Um--

Oh, hi!

I'm sorry.

I… you might wanna stay back, I've got a bit of RSV.

My little boy gave it to me.

Oh.

Jeez, mine had that last year.

But we should meet up some time.

I would love to!

- Yeah? - Yeah.

I… you know, just… call me!

I'm at the same number and we can make a plan.

- Okay! - Yeah!

Delta Iota…

Forever!

- Okay! - Call me.

Okay!

You're a half-decent liar.

For a housewife.

Delta Iota. What is that?

It's just a reason to get drunk.

What do you think, Dougie? Huh?

Do you think Martha here was getting drunk and wild

in college, huh?

I… I don't… I don't… I'm… I'm--

Just shut up.

That run-in coulda got a lot of people killed.

So maybe, uh…

housewife Delta Iota college grad here was right earlier.

There's some risk in keeping two hostages when…

when one'll do just fine.

What do you think, Martha?

You think we should pop Dougie here and leave him on the side of the road?

Huh?

Or should I shoot you for trying to send a message to your friend?

"Same number, call me."

It's just something that people say.

Do you think that I'm stupid, Martha?

I haven't seen Nancy in six years.

She's never gonna call.

Are you sure about that?

Yeah! I was… I was being polite.

If I hadn't had been, she'd have been suspicious!

And you know what, Michael? I get it, people aren't like that in prison,

but out here, in the civilized world, people actually are nice!

Bang!

Come on!

What? You think I'm gonna shoot you

going 60 on the highway?

I thought you went to college!

Lighten up, huh?

You live in the civilized world, right?

Shhh!

Hello?

This is John.

Nancy?

Yeah, Delta Iota, sure, I remember.

No, we're not sick.

Wait.

What, you saw Martha?

Today? Where?

Where did you see Martha?

Back there.

Park right there.

So, Doctor…

She's concussed, what does that mean?

She's got fluid built up in her brain.

Dizziness, blurry vision, sensitivity to lights,

slowed reaction times.

I said I was fine.

Well, can she drive, or not?

She shouldn't be driving.

It sounds like she's not very useful to me, then.

- That's, that's not what I meant! - It is, isn't it, though?

Get out.

Get out!

License plate on the back.

I want you to switch it with this.

And if you try to run…

or call out for help…

I'm gonna shoot Martha in the head.

Okay?

What do you think, are you still useful to me, or what?

I never said I couldn't drive.

That settles it.

I'll have to shoot Doug, then.

What?

You're right, I don't need two hostages.

And you and me…

you and me, Martha, we've been through more.

So…

so if you're fine to drive, then I think…

I think we kill him instead.

Are you good with that?

No!

No!

If you kill him, or anybody else,

I'm not driving you anywhere!

Are you good with that?

- I said, are you good-- - Shut up!

We're coming, over.

10-4, over, uh, we have a bar fight.

It should be two guys in a dispute…

maybe a verbal dispute, nothing serious.

Sent patrol, over.

You live a sheltered life, Martha,

in that nice house with your nice family,

and your bank accounts, and your steak dinners.

You see, the real world

doesn't treat you like that.

See Doug there?

You were willing to die to save his life,

do you think, even for a second,

that he would do the same thing for you?

People have more good in them than you realize.

Doug, get out, and switch with Martha.

You're driving now.

How are you feeling?

We can, we can take a right up here.

Thanks, partner!

Michael.

Hmm?

Why me?

Why'd you choose my house?

Your garage door was open.

Nothing more to it.

I bet you two yuppies have been to Atlanta.

Not me.

I got arraigned in Macon one time,

but that's about as far as I got.

I always wanted to go on a vacation.

Anywhere really, but Atlanta would work.

Hello?

Is it, is it nice, or what?

Uh, uh yeah, sure.

Useless, as usual. Thank you, Doug!

Martha, what do you think?

It's pretty.

- Yeah? - Mmm. Yeah.

But not in the usual way.

Atlanta's more…

resurrected.

I mean, you can tell it has history,

you just have to look close.

The whole place was burnt down in the Civil War, so…

it's sort of old…

sort of new,

all at the same time.

Sprawling.

In every direction, with streets that just…

they just go on forever.

Mmm, sounds nice.

Mmm. Yeah.

- Turn right here! - What?

Turn right here!

That's your school, right, Martha?

The one that you want to send your kid to?

We got time for one vacation, huh?

I don't see what all the hype's about.

What are we doing here, Michael?

We…

are taking my vacation.

I think the universe owes me one.

Oh, oh! Hey, hey, hey!

Let me help you.

Let me help you.

It's less suspicious this way.

Oh, God!

Well?

Come on.

Give me the tour.

You went to school here, so…

tell me about it.

Tell me about it as if you were telling Bennett

instead of me here.

Okay.

I had a lot of big classes,

there were more than 100 people sometimes in one lecture hall.

I preferred the ones that were smaller.

We could actually talk. You know?

And ask questions about what we were learning.

That's the football stadium over there.

So, in the fall,

this whole place would be packed with people,

there'd be…

hot dog stands and balloons and fireworks.

Every Saturday, just absolutely full for games.

Huh.

And then, over there, that's the library,

where I'd spent so many hours in there holed up for exams!

Hmm.

- Seems nice. - Mmm.

What did you study here?

Accounting.

With a minor in Literature.

Not that I use it much anymore, now I'm just a homemaker.

And who knows?

Maybe when this is all over…

Bennett goes off to college, maybe I'll go back to work.

Hey!

- Martha? - Get up!

Get yourself together, get up!

Get up!

Too much partying!

Hey, her pulse is really low.

- She may even have a fracture. - I'm sorry, I--

Walk, Martha!

- I'm sorry. - Just walk.

She needs to go to a hospital!

We're not going to a hospital!

If she doesn't get real medical attention soon,

she will die!

Get in the car!

It's okay, just drive!

Please, drive.

Come on.

Okay, Michael.

Where to next?

You wanna know something I learned in prison, Martha?

What?

Everybody's got an angle.

Everybody's trying to work some sort of game.

That's the only way you survive.

Not everybody.

Even you.

With your perfect little life.

And your college degree.

Trying to act all tragic and noble at the same time--

- She's not acting. - I said…

shut up!

I want you to tell me something, Martha.

I want you to tell me something that's real.

Something that you regret.

I regret…

not being there in the morning when Bennett wakes up.

- Where are we going, Michael? - Don't worry about it.

Everybody get out.

This is it, this is it!

You should run.

You could make it.

Go stand over there.

Just please

promise me

you'll find my family and you'll tell them that I love them.

- I can't! - What?

I just can't!

You guys wanna know how I broke out of prison?

First part was timing the guards' schedule.

They try to mix it up, you know?

So we can't predict 'em.

And it took me a while,

but I figured it out.

My favorite part

was convincing those three other guys

to do it with me.

I didn't need their help, you know?

But I knew that escaping with three other inmates,

and then separating from them…

that would confuse the police.

And that would give me enough time to get away.

Do you know how hard that is?

To inspire three grown men to risk it all like that?

Even fooled you.

That cellmate, that I said was in your house

watching your kid?

He was never even there.

I just knew that you'd do as I said if you thought your kid was in danger.

You know what the hardest part was?

It was coming face-to-face with that prison guard by the elevator.

I knew he was gonna be there.

I knew I had to take care of him.

But you do what you have to do…

and that's how you survive.

Even if that means killing the other guy.

Now turn around.

Oh!

Turn around!

He's alive.

You know? The guard.

He's in intensive care, but he's still alive.

It's true.

I sa… I said, turn around.

No.

No, Michael.

- You don't have a choice! - Yes, I do.

I can't imagine what your life has been like,

and I have no right to judge you,

but I will not turn my back on you.

You think your life is over, but it's not!

It is way too late for that, Martha.

If you kill us…

that's it!

You're always gonna be a murderer.

A monster.

It's just that easy, huh?

It's just that easy, I just flip a switch.

Suddenly, I'm a nice guy.

All I gotta do is let you two go.

Nothing is easy!

- There's adversity everywhere! - Oh, my God, yeah!

Yeah, I've heard that, I've heard that so many times!

I mean, do you really think…

if I let you live,

everything just finally starts turning out great for me?

I don't know.

I really don't know.

But there is one thing that I know for absolute certain.

If you kill us…

your plan won't work.

You're gonna get caught.

What do you mean?

Michael, you've been in prison

since you were 14, where did you learn to buy a plane ticket?

Television?

You understand prison routine,

but you're not there anymore,

this is the civilized world!

Remember?

There are different rules, new technology.

You show up with a wad of cash, and a fake ID…

and you ask for a plane ticket,

they're gonna laugh you straight back to your cell,

for the rest of your life!

You need to take a train.

The trains still take cash.

And you need me to buy you the ticket.

They check ID at the ticket booth,

but they don't re-check when you get ticketed on board.

Okay.

I like that.

What do I need you for, then?

To remind you that you're not evil.

No, I don't know, I don't know.

What? No! No.

It's… it's almost three in the morning.

You can get a couple of hours of sleep,

and you wash your clothes, you take a shower.

You gotta be presentable

if you wanna go out in the real world, okay?

Just wait here, I'll go and get us a room--

No, no.

Not with that cut on your forehead.

You do it.

- You do it! Come on, let's go. - Okay.

And look, remember.

If you do something stupid, you won't be able to talk me down twice, okay?

I got it.

How can I help you?

Need a room, two beds.

If he screws me, he screws you.

I know.

And we've got pay per view if you wanna pay extra.

I need you to listen to me very carefully.

I've been kidnapped.

Keep smiling. Good. Just like we're talking about the--

Okay? Then, you call the police

and tell them what I told you.

- Take this, give me some change. - Sure, sure.

And tell the police he's got a scanner,

he's listening to them. You got it?

All right, Martha.

Time to make good on your promise.

My clothes need washing.

I have to look respectable.

There's probably a laundry down the hallway.

Ah…

sink will do just fine.

What?

Is there something you wanna say?

I've already said it.

What she needs is to wash my clothes,

and then we can all get some rest, okay?

Big day tomorrow.

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

I'm, I'm, I'm just gonna check on her.

Yeah, I'ma be there tomorrow.

Who do you think he's talking to?

Doesn't matter.

We just have to hang on a little longer.

I have five grand. All right?

No, I'm taking a train.

I'm, I'm telling you, I'm not, look, I am not going--

I'm adapting.

I don't think I'm gonna make it, Doug.

Yes, you will.

Help is coming.

Hey, that's enough! All right, get out here!

Come on!

Tie him up.

In that chair.

Tight!

Yeah, it's nothing that I can't take care of.

I need you to trust me, okay?

I'm taking care of it, I'm telling you!

He wouldn't talk in front of us if he was really gonna let us go.

I have the money, I just need you to--

He's still planning to kill us.

Ju-just meet me at the station.

Okay?

I'm not so sure.

You still alive?

It's funny how memories and dreams

get jumbled up around this time of night.

You know, I barely remember my mom.

I do remember one thing.

She used to draw animals on my bare back,

to put me to sleep.

And she must've been an artist,

because I could always tell exactly what she was drawing.

Tiger…

elephant…

giraffe.

You ever do that kind of thing with your kid?

Mhmm.

Yeah.

Something like that.

I remember how her nails felt on my skin, you know,

it was like, like, it was tingly

and then it would get cold and then I would just…

I would just fall asleep.

I must've been like four or five years old.

That's a beautiful memory.

Yeah, maybe it was a dream, though, I don't really know,

it's been a long time, so I don't know which is which anymore.

Uh…

Either way, she left me in a world of hurt,

and I had to go through it all on my own, so.

Options are a luxury where I'm coming from.

Where I'm coming from, we don't really get many of those.

You sure about that?

I should've known you wouldn't understand.

I understand more than you know.

I just don't agree.

You always have a choice.

Choices make you who you are.

Not what happened to you.

Not what someone did to you.

Not the mistakes that you made.

And the world doesn't dictate who you are.

Only you can do that.

Get some sleep.

- Argh! - What did you do?

- What happened? What? - What did you do?

What did you do? It's the cops!

5-30,

we're north of the alley way, 51st Street.

Washburn in five.

I've got a Highway Patrol in Dover,

and he's turned a left over…

Officer 12-15, over.

See? It's, it's, it's nothing.

12-15 over, copy--

No. No, it's too quiet.

No, this is a trucker hotel,

it's just drivers getting an early start.

I ca… I can't, I can't go back, Martha!

- I don't have a choice! - Michael…

Michael, you do have a choice.

- If they come in here, you're going first! - Michael!

Michael, you do, you have a choice!

We don't know what's out there,

it could be scary, it could not.

But you have a choice!

You have a choice!

I-I coulda killed you.

I could've done it at any point,

you know that, right?

You're not all bad, Michael!

Uh…

I'm, I'm hungry.

Are you guys hungry?

Uh…

I think I'm gonna get a snack from the vending machine.

Freeze! Hands in the air!

Drop the weapon!

Down! On the ground! Now!

Morning.

Hey, good morning.

Coffee's ready.

Uh…

- I'm sorry. I should've come down-- - No, no, no, don't. No, no, I'm just…

It's okay.

I… I forgot to put it…

…aw… away.

I'm gonna stay home from work today.

No!

- Yes! - No!

- Yes! - No, please don't.

We're safe.

I know that.

It's just… it's gonna take a little bit of time, okay?

This is our home.

This is our life.

And I'm not gonna let him take any more away from us than he already has.

Okay?

Okay.

I love you.

Love you.

- Call us at lunch! - Yup.

Okay.
