Persons Unknown

Mama! Mama!

Megan. You cannot fly, baby.

Aw, mom!

Mr. Edick.

What are you doing here?

We need to talk, Janet.

Could we do this another time? I'd rather my daughter -

You haven't been returning my phone calls.

That's why I've come to see you.

Mom!

- Megan. - I know.

No flying.

How is it that you can find me

in the middle of San Francisco,

and yet you can't find my husband?

Your husband doesn't want to be found.

I told you that.

It takes time and money -

Money that you owe us.

Yeah, I told you I gave you all I could.

So you find my husband, and I'll see to it

that you get your money, your bonus, everything.

Doesn't work that way, Janet.

Maybe it doesn't work that way

because my husband's already paying you.

- I don't even know where - you tell my husband -

that if he keeps this up if he makes me look for him anymore -

I'm gonna take him to the cleaners. Do you understand?

Oh, yeah.

Megan?

Megan?

Megan?

Megan?!

Megan?

Megan, answer me!

Hey!

Where's my daughter-

Mommy? Mommy?

Mommy?

Mom?

Mommy?

Megan.

Megan!

Megan?

Hello?

Hello?!

Answer me, please.

Please!

Please.

I just want to see my little girl.

Please?

Please!

Tell me if she's okay.

No nails.

Aah.

What do you want from me?!

Help!

Somebody help me!

Please.

Hello?

Can you hear me? Hello?

Listen, I know you're in there. Speak up.

Aah! Get back!

All right...

Get back!

- Just relax. - Get out!

Get a grip on yourself!

All right? I'm not gonna hurt you.

I'm here to help.

Who are you?

My name is Joe.

Okay?

It's okay. I'm not one of them.

One of who? Where are we?

I don't know.

I woke up five minutes ago.

How did you get out of your room?

There's a key...

- In the bible. - What?

You don't have a key?

Just relax.

You know why you're here?

Why someone would do this?

I owe some people some money.

How much money?

About $1,100.

That seems like an awful lot of trouble to go to.

Anyone else?

Huh?

My husband.

What would your husband want with me?

- Well, where are we? - I don't know.

Okay, I've been farther than your door.

What's the last thing you remember?

I was in the park and -

Where?

San Francisco.

I was in New York.

Look. You're bleeding.

Let me see your hand.

I'm not gonna hurt you, okay? Relax.

- Ah. - Ow.

Aah.

Just suck - suck on that.

I think I heard other people.

Yeah, me too.

And I'm gonna go find them.

- You are? - Yeah.

What's wrong?

What if it's them? What if it's the people that took us?

What if it is?

We could leave them.

Of course, I could have left you.

Hello?

Hello? Can you hear me?

Anyone?

Speak up!

What is this place?

Can anyone hear me?

For God's sake, let me out!

Hey.

Listen to me.

All right, in your dresser, there's a bible.

All right, in the bible, there's a key.

Look for a bible in the drawer next to the bed.

Hey.

Charlie Morse.

Capital investments.

- I'm Joe. - Tell me you're a cop, Joe.

- Tell me this is over. - It's not over.

If they want money, I've got it.

Still trying to figure out who "they" are.

Give me a hand?

Did I miss my wake-up call?

Aah!

Hey, hey, hey.

Easy, easy, easy! Take it easy, soldier.

We're on your side.

You're a hostage too?

Yeah.

We're all hostages.

Okay. It's okay.

I didn't think I drank that much.

Oh!

Hey, hey, hey, hey.

You okay?

My standards must really be slipping.

Hey. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. Hey.

Hey, do you know where you are?

Do you know what's happening?

I think I need to get to a phone.

Come on.

I don't get it.

Where the hell are the guys that took us?

I'm not waiting around to find out.

It's magnetically sealed. You'll never get it opened.

Nothing.

It's not working.

Why don't they come and get us?

I don't get it.

What kind of a kidnapping is this?!

That sort of behavior is contagious, sir!

You need to keep your powder dry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm just...

It's my wife.

She's got emotional problems. She's lost without me.

If I'm not there to look after her, she'll -

I don't even want to think about what could happen.

Hey, smoke detector.

Those magnets should shut off if there's an alarm.

What are you saying?

I'm saying if we start a fire in here,

We should be able to get out.

But if the doors don't open, then we're stuck in here.

I'm not talking about setting the building on fire. If we just -

Holding a small flame up to that sensor should do it.

Sure. No sweat.

Anybody got any matches?

Here. Break that down as small as you can.

I mean splinters.

This is ridiculous.

San Francisco register.

When I say headline, I mean headline.

I want something that jumps out

and grabs the reader by the throat.

Unh-unh. No good. Get Sam to rewrite it.

Renbe, I'm dying to know.

Come on - this transvestite-hooker thing.

Who is it? Tell me.

I need one more confirmation.

- Is it who I think it is? - Better.

You see this?

- What is it? - It's the police blotter.

Missing person at a playground in the park yesterday.

Kiddie thief's hardly our bit.

It was the mom who got herself picked off.

Never touched her kid.

Mom abandons kid.
