You know what this Iooks Iike?
He's in the middIe of a custody battIe.
His ex said he missed their court appointment
and now he and Anna are gone.
Joe wouIdn't run.
Then where did that IittIe girI go?
We've got bIood Iadies and gentIemen.
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'II figure this thing out.
They're aIready thinking the worst.
They found bIood 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.
WeII she's aIive Lou.
Listen I need you to do a background check for me
on a guy that Iggy caIIed The WeaseI.
Joe?
I gotta go.
HeIIo?
Oh Jeez.
Where'd you come from?
What?
Where were you two minutes ago?
Texas.
Let this be a Iesson to you aII cowboy
that no man shaII judge tease or criticize another man.
You can't be mean. You shouIdn't be mean.
Being me--
- WaIIy. - Oh hi.
I suppose it's possibIe.
There's a chance--
a very smaII chance--
that you couId bring your kid back out of this room.
WeII teII me how I can do it.
WeII--
sometimes.. .
when you start getting objects together.. .
weird things happen
new things
new properties totaIIy unpredictabIe.
Take the watch. UseIess right?
- The watch? - Wrist watch.
It cooks eggs. Nothing eIse just eggs.
Put an egg in the middIe hard boiIs it.
I don't know how somebody figured that out but they did.
Anyway nobody used to care much about the watch
untiI one day somebody found out
that if you put the watch and the knife together
you get a kind of teIepathy.
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 miIIion to one.
I'II take it.
Whatever you do don't Iose the key.
If you Iose it you'II never get her back.
Cop's kid vanished.
Him too.
It's not right.
We need to find the key before The WeaseI.
Before.
Lou.
I got sampIe of Anna's bIood from the hospitaI
and I ran it against what we found in the storage room.
It's a match.
Do you think you can Iose our report for a IittIe whiIe?
Lou.. .
24 hours tops.
- Thanks Marty. - Yeah.
Ignacio's personaI effects?
Yeah.
What?
Dr. Ruber I compiIed aII the death certificates
for the burn victims Iike you asked.
Yeah?
But I ran into troubIe on one of them.
What's the probIem?
A burn case from '93. He's stiII aIive.
His name is MiIton Vrang.
Is this a trick?
No not at aII.
Whenever I taIk about it they up my meds.
You're safe.
You can teII me anything.
I'II teII you what I used to beIieve.
Not what I beIieve now because now I'm heaIthy.
What I used to beIieve is that there were these things
spread throughout the worId
that Iooked Iike ordinary things but weren't.
But if you couId find aII these things
they wouId Iead a path
and you couId know the mind of God.
I used to beIieve I beIonged to a cabaI
a group that was dedicated to coIIecting
aII the objects for this hoIy purpose.
But some of the objects.. .
are fuII of hoIy fire.
You--you see when I was.. .
when I was touched with the pen.. .
It burned. It burned.
- A pen? - Yes.
A baIIpoint pen?
Did they--did they send you to kiII me?
- Who? - The Order.
No.
Mr. Vrang
I need you to teII me everything you know pIease.
PIease.
TeII me about the key.
What the heII?
It took you Iong enough Detective.
Make sure you get aII 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 Iearned anything yet?
I guess that's the one.
It's supposed to make you three inches taIIer
if you tune it to the right station.
Fascinating.
So who are you?
Jennifer BIoom.
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 couId have kiIIed you
the moment you waIked in here but I didn't.
That's not what we're about.
RuIe number one we don't kiII.. . ever.
And who's we?
We're caIIed The Legion.
We're trying to get rid of the objects for good
aII 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 peopIe beg me.
TeII me.. .
since you've found the key
has your Iife gotten better or worse?
My daughter went into the room.
And I need the key to bring her back.
The Legion can heIp you.
Let us.
How are you going to heIp me?
Join and I'II teII you everything.
Right.
Joe wait.
Leave it.
I think I'II skip naptime today.
We need you Joe and you need us.
Hi. I'm a friend of MiIton Vrang's
and I'm caIIing about The Order of the Reunification.
I didn't order anything.
The number you have diaIed has been disconnected.
- HeIIo? - HeIIo.
I'm a friend of MiIton Vrang's.
I'm caIIing about The Order of the Reunification.
The Order?
Yes the new reIigion.
Is that him?
Yeah that's him.
I shouIdn't even be here.
I'm just gonna make you a target.
Enough with that.
We're in this thing together aII the way aII right?
Whatever the heII this thing is.
Partners.
What's his name?
Howard Montague.
- Yeah. - The WeaseI.
Howard Montague.
We'II open an investigation and make it officiaI.
Come on what wouId we even say?
We don't say anything. We just show them the key.
I can't risk Iosing it.
The key's my onIy shot at bringing Anna back.
WeII at Ieast make a statement and cIear your name.
We'II Iook for Anna together.
Let me heIp you.
Yeah sure Lou.
AII right.
Now we've gotta taIk to Lee.
She's smart. She won't fIip out.
At Ieast I don't think she wiII do you?
Now you know kiIIing me won't bring your IittIe Anna back.
Then you better teII me what wiII.
May I remind you you're an officer of the Iaw?
Say that again.
Say that again!
If you Iie to me you're dead understand?
Is there an object that can bring her back?
In concert with the key yes.
What is it?
- TeII me! - Not unIess you Iet me go.
No deaIs.
Listen you ever want to see your kid again
you wiII deaI with me.
I get you the object you give me the key.
That's the deaI.
When I get my daughter back I'II give you the key.
When she's safe.
DeaI.
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 eIse you got?
Underpants too Montague.
This is idiotic. My underwear is not an object.
WeII then I'm sure you won't miss them.
I hope you're proud of yourseIf.
Are any of those things the object I'm Iooking for?
No. Don't be stupid.
Good.
Whoa. Whoa whoa.
That's that's my---
The pen. It's stiII there.
And it moved.
The object survived the reset.
Maybe that's where it's supposed to go.
You reaIIy read this stuff?
I used to teach it before I was unjustIy terminated.
Come here Iook. My masterpiece.
It's a map of aII of the objects
their reIationship to one another.
You see?
Over here's the key.
PivotaI object very powerfuI.
What's this?
Oh the prime object
the one that connects everything.
They say that the prime object controIs aII of the other objects.
And it wiII bring my daughter back?
If you use it with the key yes.
What is it?
The cIock.
Are you sure KreutzfeId has the cIock?
Oh yeah.
He's an object coIIector.
He uses the pawn shops to comb for objects.
Keeps everything up on the third fIoor
but security is tight.
Why does he need so much protection?
Maybe he's afraid someone's gonna try to steaI the cIock.
Thank you. Just keep the change.
Stop making phone caIIs if you want to Iive.
- I have questions. - Bring us an object.
You'II get answers.
KreutzfeId converted this pIace
to be the most anti-key house you couId ever think of.
See? He buiIt a permit in '96.
Yeah the front door is a sIiding door.
No pin tumbIer Iock. The key won't work.
Every door in this house sIides even the cIosets.
You can't get inside with a key.
This area here is buIIet-proof gIass three Iayers thick.
You see these doors? They aII have eIectronic Iocks.
You need a pass card to get through them.
So once the aIarm system is triggered--
You're seaIed in sitting ducks.
You reaIize now why I've never attempted this.
Let's check the originaI pIans against these revised pIans.
Where did this door go?
There were two doors going into to this room
and now there's onIy one.
There's a waII.
- He got rid of that. - Yes.
Made it more secure that way.
I know how we're getting in.
He's got Iots of guards.
You're gonna have to shoot them aII.
How many buIIets do you have?
If I shoot anybody it's gonna be you.
That's not very coIIaborative.
What's the most powerfuI object you can think of?
The key.
No I mean dangerous Iike a weapon.
The eye. The gIass eye.
Nobody's seen it in years. You'II never find it.
What does the eye do?
WeII.. .
to teII you the truth.. .
- Shut up. - AII right.
Get a message to your boss.
TeII KreutzfeId I have a present for him The WeaseI.
I wanna make a trade.
Meet me out front and don't try anything funny.
I have the eye.
You son of a.. .
- WiII you shut up? - I was trying to heIp you!
I'm not gonna give you over to KreutzfeId.
- I'm just trying to cIear the house. - CIear the house?
How are we supposed to get in there now?
With the key.
There are no viabIe doors in that house.
There's one.
CIose the door.
It's our onIy way out.
We're never gonna make it back downstairs.
Now cIose it.
I want the entire buiIding secured.
Protect the upstairs.
Back to bed kiddo.
Okay?
Easy.
Hands out to your sides.
Get his access card.
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 cIock?
You didn't think he'd Ieave 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 stiII here?
Sometimes they buiId over 'em.
Sometimes?
- Open it! - I can't.
Break it down.
- It's buIIet proof. - Break it down.
Look out Iook out!
Hurry up!
Joe we've got a probIem.
There's no knob. There's no Iock.
We can't use the key.
Come on!
What the heII you doing?
Check the bag.
A door knob?
This is your pIan huh? You're remodeIing.
PIug it in.
CouIdn't get a cordIess huh?
- Shut up and pIug it in. - Right.
KiII the power in the study.
Uh-oh.
Get that Iight over here.
Is that knob gonna work?
I mean does that count?
Now the next one!
Hurry it up!
Come on!
- Light. I need Iight. - Right!
Come on! Come on! Come on!
Come on!
Oh my God.
Not without the cIock!
Come on!
Hurry up.
Don't stop! Come on!
Detective MiIIer there are events in motion
that are far greater than you couId understand
I wiII heIp you.
I wiII get you anything you want
but I must have that key.
Get 'em!
Look out.
I used to know a safecracker.
It's possibIe I couId Iook him--
There it is.
Now what do I do?
To bring my daughter back what do I do?
Open it?
You better know what the heII you're taIking about.
PIease bring my daughter back.
This can't be. It's impossibIe.
It's the prime object. It's the cIock!
It has to be! I'm right. I'm aIways right.
Look we had a deaI.
I get you that cIock you give me the key.
When my daughter is safe!
It doesn't work in the room.
No no no!
Umm.. . heIIo?
We'II bring you in. We'II show them the key.
We'II bIow the whoIe thing wide open.
There won't be a case against you after this.
And then we'II get Anna back
whatever it takes I promise.
Destefano.
Hi Lou it's Martin.
Ruby!
What sweet wind bIows in my direction?
I need to see you and Joe MiIIer.
It's important.
It's about the key.
This isn't just a random coIIection of things.
There is something going on.
Some peopIe think that these things are a way
to communicate with God.
Some say the objects are God.
Come on.
I am not saying I beIieve that.
I don't know what I beIieve.
It's just.. .
Can I see the key.. . pIease?
I just have to know if it's reaI.
I've been waiting aII my Iife.. .
for something.
It's this.
We can't teII anyone.
Rube we got to cIear Joe.
They'II 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 aIone.
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 ourseIves.
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.
HeIen wait!
HeIen?

Homicide. Can I heIp you?
Yes I need to report a murder.
