Man on TV: ...3.64 inches of rainfall this month
and we're expecting another inch
over the next 24 hours.
And that means we'll be at 4.5 inches, somewhere
in the 4-1/2-inch range, and that's marvelous
for our crops as we continue
with bumper crops across
our area when our neighbors
are not getting much rain, so it
seems like perhaps our farmers
have done a deal with the devil.
[Bangs TV, turns it off]
[#...]
[Music playing in bar...]
Well, maybe I could've done something.
What, get yourself fired, too?
Trust me, you did the right thing.
[Sighs]
You cannot be responsible
for the welfare of everybody.
It's better to just keep your mouth shut.
That was my mistake, and I cost the company
over $10 million.
Trust me, Ryan Hayden can afford it.
Besides, you're still there because you're smarter
than he is.
And a harder worker.
I know... But I still feel guilty.
Hmm... Sweetie, we've got to go.
It's after midnight and I've got to get up early.
Ladies, do you need anything else?
No, we're good.
We're gonna take off.
Thank you.
Bartender: Thank you.
[Music continues playing...]
[Radio playing country music]
[Stranger breathing raggedly]
[Keys clatter on ground]
[Horns honking as cars pass]
I'm gonna tell him.
Tell who?
I'm gonna tell Ryan Hayden it was my fault.
I can't let someone else
take the fall for my mistake.
You know you're gonna get
fired if you do that, right?
Probably... but I have to.
[Bottle clinks, liquid splashes]
Rachel, this is your dream job.
I mean, do you want to
throw it away just like that?
[Vehicle door creaks]
[#...]
[Door creaks, slams]
[Muffled footsteps]
[#...]
Look, the guy's gonna get
fired sooner or later anyway.
You know that.
You're doing him a favor.
[Starter grinding...]
No, tomorrow morning I'm going into his office
and I'm telling him.
You're too nice, Rachel.
[Engine starts, rumbles]
[Thump, brakes squeak]
What was that?
I don't know.
Uh... [rain pattering]
[Thunder rumbling...]
I'm gonna get out and see what happened.
[Bangs hood] Fuck!
We have a flat!
[Laughs]
Of course we have a fucking flat.
Hey, but you know what?
This gives us an excuse to go back to the...

You ready?
Yeah.
You better be.
You better hope nothing goes wrong... Understand?
And you better make sure your brother

Tommy's gonna be fine.
We have two hours.
OK.
Don't be late.
[#...]
[Vehicle whooshes past]
You ready to go?
Everything's gonna be OK.
I promise.
We're $300,000 in debt.
I don't trust Paul.
It was your idea to involve him.
I know.
This is not how I thought things would be.
You know?
I know.
Nobody's gonna get hurt, right?

I have to make sure.

[Rachel sobbing]
[Knocking at the door]
So, you gonna be OK. With this?
Yeah.
You know you don't have to
do this if you don't want to.
No, I want to do this.

Tommy...
I'll call you when it's done.

[Door opens and closes]
Woman: What's wrong?
Nothing.
It's all good.
[Kisses him]
Alyssa, Alyssa, wake up!
Thank God... [sobbing]
What happened?
Where are we?

What's going on?
I don't know!

Oh, God... [Both panting...]

I, I have to be sure.
No! [Sobbing]
No...! [Knife slices flesh]
[#...]
Let me do the talking.
Are you sure they're home?
No dogs, no security guards?
I told you, I know someone
who used to work for the family.
The kid gets home from school
at exactly 3:30 every day.
I know everything there is
to know about this house.
You never told us who your inside source was.
'Cause it's not your concern.
Everything's gonna be OK., Ben.
$2 million goes a long way.
[Clicks clip into gun]
10 minutes in and out.
Just be ready.
Ben!
Come on, let's go!
Go.
Woman: Kelly, you need to do
your homework before you play.
What time is the Mitchells'
party on Friday?
We need to be there by seven.
I'm not gonna be home till eight.
Ryan, you've known about
this party for three months.
Well, I don't know what you want me to do.
You know, we lost the Dubai account.
No, I didn't know that.
What happened?
Somebody screwed up.
Well, that's a pretty big screw-up.
Tell me about it.
I had to let some people go.
Kelly, where's your homework?
Is that gonna affect the...?
I don't know.
That's what we're having the meeting about.
Well, I didn't know.
I'm sorry.
I have a deal for you.
You go get your book bag and I'll help you
with your book report.
Promise?
I promise.
Now go get your bag.

Mother: Oh, my God!

I told you, down on the fucking ground!
I am not gonna fucking tell you again!
[Knocking on door]
[Mother sobbing]
Grab 'em.
Tie 'em up.
Let's go!
[Mother sobbing]
Plea-please, take anything you want.
Just don't hurt my family.
Don't talk.
Arms behind your head.
[Sobs]
Ow, ow...!
She's done.
Good, now go up and get the kid.
Where is she?
Upstairs in the hall.
[Mother sobbing]
I don't have any money in the house.
You don't think I know that?
It's gonna be OK.
No, it's not gonna be OK. If
you don't give us what we want.
[Phone beeping]
[Phone ringing...]
Yeah?
[Coughing and gasping...]
Let's go!
Time to hurry!
[Breathing heavily]
I'm taking your daughter.
Do I have your attention?
[Mother crying]
I want $2 million in fifties,
twenties and tens in two hours.
I can't get... [Cocks gun]
Do not call the police or use
chemicals on the bills or mark them in any way.
If you do, your daughter dies.
[Cries] No.
Are you listening to me?
Well, I sure the fuck hope
you are paying attention.
I'm listening.
You will be watched all the time.
When you get the call, you do
exactly as we say and no tricks.
[Cries]
You have two hours.
If I smell a cop... That kid's dead.
[Mother crying...]
And just to show you I'm not fucking around.
Oh, God no!
God, no! No!
[Mother screaming]
[Gunshot]
Come on!
Open the door!
Throw her in the back seat.
Cop car drove past just a couple of minutes ago.
What? Where did it go?
Open the fucking trunk!
Let's go, move!
Who's she?
She saw my face.
Fuck! - Let's go!
[Starts engine]

[Tires squeal]
[Crying softly...]
Ben: What took you so long?
Just tidying up some loose ends.
What do you mean?
Don't worry about it.
You got a problem with that?
Yeah, I got a big fucking problem with that.
[Cocks gun] Oh, yeah?
What are you gonna do?
What the fuck are you doing?
Stop it! - Will you just calm the fuck down?
[Uncocks gun]
Everything's going as planned.
What about the girl?
She wasn't part of the plan.
She saw my face.
I can't have her telling the
cops what I look like.
So what are you gonna do with her? - Don't worry.
I'll deal with her.
Call your brother, tell him to get ready.
[#...]
Alyssa: [Breathing raggedly]
Why is this happening?
I don't know.
But we're gonna get out of here, OK.?
OK. - OK.
Promise me... You won't leave me.
[Whispers] Promise me.
I promise I won't leave you.
[Both crying softly...]
I think I can get free.

We'll do anything you want.
Please.

What are you doing? - No... What are you doing?

Hello?
Ben: Tommy.
In two hours.
At 6:00.
Is everything cool?
Just be ready.
The pickup is at our old grain
silo where dad used to work.
Just like we talked about.
Tommy, you there?
Yeah.
If anything seems weird, you bust out of there,
all right?
Yeah. Yeah, I will.
We'll call you if there are any changes.

[Tears tape off roll]

You know, I think I'll hold onto them.
Then drive the car around back.
I don't want it in front.
Take the kid in the back.
I'm calling for the money.
[#...]
[Phone rings]
Hello?
Paul: Did you call the cops?
No.
Good.
Did you get what I asked for?
Yes.
The gray mill on canton road in half an hour.
Put all the money in a duffle bag and leave it in
silo number one.
I want my daughter there.
That's not gonna happen.
My money's not there in half an hour, she's dead.
[Phone clicks]
[Sighs]
[#...]
Everything's gonna be OK.
Nobody's gonna hurt you.
Are you thirsty?
Yeah?
OK.
Now I just need you to stay here.
I'll come back to check on you later, I promise.
Everything's gonna be OK.
Nothing is gonna happen to you.
I'm sorry.
Is she all good back there?
Yeah, she's not going anywhere.
What are we gonna do with them?
Take them out to the woods and let them go.
Just like we planned.
When we get the money.
It's almost six.
It's time to get ready.
[#...]
I have given you a lifetime.
And you have rewarded us again
with an early harvest.
[Grunting with effort...]

Hello?
Tommy, where the fuck are you? It's been an hour.
I'm on my way.
Did you get the money?
Yeah.
[Sighs]
So how close are you?
I'm almost there.
Is everything OK.?
Yeah, everything's great.
They took my daughter.
I didn't.
Shut up!
And drive.
Where are we going?
I told you, I'm taking you
to where your daughter is.
You think you can just come
into my house and violate my family?
You think I would just take it
and not do anything about it?
You don't know anything about me!
I started with nothing.
You and your friends underestimated me.
What are you doing?
If you cooperate and don't do
anything stupid, I promise
you'll be released soon.
Tommy's on his way.
So?
He's got the money.
I told you everything was gonna be OK.
So once the money gets here
and we split it up four ways,
we all go our separate ways, right?
After we split, we split.
No further contact, no loose ends.
Are you happy now?
I don't know if you would call it happy.
Why?
All of our problems are solved.
[Sighs]
You know what?
I don't think it's that easy.
Ben, you worked for his company for seven years,
and he fired you for something
that wasn't your fault.
Do you think that's fair?
No.
We deserve this.
Do we?

Ben, he had a gun on me.
Ryan: Shut up.
You, move away from the others.
Listen... [ryan fires]
[Kicks away Paul's gun]
[Groans]
You killed my wife.
You're the reason your wife is dead.
Shut up!

I, I don't have a gun on me.
You don't even who this is, do you?
He worked for your company for seven years.
Amy... Don't.
Untie her... Now!
Jessica... [kicks gun to her]

Don't you even fucking think about it.
Don't.
He'll just shoot us.
He's just gonna kill us anyway.
I told you, your brother
better not make a mistake.
Paul, let's just kill them,
take the money, and go.
[Panting and gasping...]
Sorry.

This is just the way it has to end.

I'm going downstairs for the money.
I'm getting out of here.
You're not going anywhere!
Amy: Ben, what are you doing?
That was his plan the whole time.
Kill us all, take the money.
What were you gonna do
with the girl? Kill her too?
Put the gun down.
Your brother made the mistake.
Where's the kid?
She's gone.
We have to keep moving.
Come on, Paul, it's over.
I am not gonna ask you again.
That's why you never told us
who your inside man was.
It was all a setup.
I'm calling the cops.
You put that fucking phone
down or I will shoot her... It's over, Paul.
Drop the phone, Ben!
Fuck you!
Just give him the phone.
