Please.
Please, no.
You don't want to do this.
You're not a killer.
Ian. Ian, Ian...
Really? He said "flight risk"?
The man is not a flight risk because he is innocent, okay?
Innocent men do not run.
Daddy, I'm hungry.
Okay, sweetheart.
Really?
No.
I disagree. And you know what?
I think Judge Ogden would disagree as well.
Why?
Because I took the man to Pebble Beach to golf
and you know what you did, Carl?
You dated his wife in law school.
For breakfast?
Shh! Don't tell your mother.
All right.
Go for it.
Yeah. I gotta go. See you.
Shit.
Mommy's here. Hmm?
I gotta take this away from you. Daddy, I'm not done!
I know, I know, but, you know,
you can't be having birthday cake all the time
because Mommy doesn't want you to.
And you know what? Just remember one thing.
Mommy ruins everything.
Hold on!
Hi. Hi.
It's not even 7:30 yet.
I have early clients, so...
Yeah.
Your pear tree's dying.
It's a quince tree.
You want to come in?
You've been decorating?
Yeah.
- How was she? - She's good.
Hi. Hello.
Mmm! Hi, sweet pea.
What have you got on your hands?
Nothing.
You have it on your face.
Birthday cake. She had birthday cake for breakfast.
Did she have anything else?
Not this morning, no.
Well, do you have anything else?
I haven't gone shopping yet, Laura.
Okay. All right, El, we'll get you something on the way, okay?
Mommy, Daddy said "Shit."
Did he? Okay, why don't you get your bag?
Look, I...
Trial separation usually means "Make an effort."
I thought it meant "Here's your balls back. Thanks for the loan."
Yeah, that's nice. Yeah.
No, in front of our daughter. That's really nice.
She doesn't even know what I'm talking about.
Come on. Let's go.
Bye, Daddy.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
No hugs? No kisses? No "Thank you for the Chinese food"?
And the awesome movies?
- I love you. - Love you, too.
Okay, have a good day at school, okay?
Bye. Bye, babe.
Come on.
Don't forget about soccer.
Mmm-hmm.
6:30. Yeah, 6:30, I know.
Let's go.
Bye. Bye, babe.
Let's go, let's go.
Come on.
Finally.
What does she want now?
Jesus, come on.
Damn it. Damn it!
Okay. I just...
Excuse me. How much longer is this gonna take?
He's just gonna have to wait. Okay.
I'll be there when I'm there. Bye.
Mr. Mitchell. Yeah.
Can we chat for a second?
Sure.
Have a seat.
You have no idea where this came from.
No. No.
Like I said, my doorbell rang, I went to answer it,
nobody was there but this was sitting there.
And the next thing I know, it's like goddamn Fallujah.
At first I thought maybe it was a former client.
Someone who wasn't happy with me.
I'm a criminal defense attorney.
Yeah?
Yeah.
Not just white collar, but street crooks, too.
Sometimes the verdicts don't work out,
they'll come knocking on my door.
But you don't know who Daniel Easton is?
No.
Never seen him before? No. Never.
He's a dentist.
Has a private practice in a medical center downtown.
14301 South Figueroa.
Okay.
And you don't know who this belongs to?
No, I don't.
It's a Beretta 9mm, 92A.
It has no serial number.
No identifying marks.
Okay.
Wow!
Barrel's been smoothed out so any ballistics report will be corrupted.
Could you just not point that at me, please?
Thank you.
I'm not joking. That's... You work these...
I'm playing. Okay.
I'm just playing.
We're done here.
Uh...
Don't you need that for evidence?
Excuse me, I...
In case you need to reach me.
Hey, that isn't even mine!
Oh!
Yeah. Are you close?
Yeah, I'm downstairs. Why?
Mr. Valverde's waiting for you. Already?
He's been here for 30 minutes.
He ate all of the Skittles.
Okay, I'm on my way up.
So, it's one, that's two, three,
four, five, six.
That's half. And I'll get the rest to you next week.
But the real reason why I came here is 'cause I want to thank you, man.
You did a lot for me and my family, man.
You kept me out of jail, you were able to
keep food on the table for my kids
I just want to tell you from the bottom of my heart,
anything you need, man, I got your back, you feel me?
The same way I got your wife's front, you know?
I was having sex with her last night, man.
She's actually pregnant with my kid now,
so I'm gonna be part of the family. Wait, what?
Are you even listening to me or what, dawg? I'm sorry.
I'm sitting here telling you that I owe you my damn life, man.
No, I appreciate you coming in. I'm having...
You ever have... You know what, man?
You're probably out there in fantasy land
thinking about that new Benz
that you're gonna buy this weekend and shit, right?
No, it's just... That's where you're at, man.
Just having one of those rough days, you know?
Ian Mitchell, you now have two days,
17 hours, 14 minutes to expire Daniel Easton.
Yo, what was Tony Montana doing here, man?
Hey, keep your voice down, please.
No, he's long gone.
Asshole. Don't worry about it. What?
He's fine.
Close the door.
All right.
What's up, man? Are we gonna go grab lunch or what?
I'm gonna stay in.
Plus, I got to tell you about this date I had
last night with this performance artist chick.
Stripper?
Hey, man. She's a nice girl.
And she's got the greatest ass I have ever seen.
I'm talking like an 18-year-old girl's ass.
Is she 18, Raj?
What's up, man? What?
I mean, are you okay?
I'm good.
Okay. All right.
Thanks.
Oh. Cool.
Yeah, man. I'll talk to you, ahem,later.
Hey, Raj.
Yo? Uh...
Close the door.
Sit down. I want you to listen to something.
What is it?
Just... Is it ringing?
Are you hearing it?
It's just ringing.
We're sorry.
Your call cannot be completed as dialed.
Wow. Pretty awesome.
Please check the number and dial again.
Must have dialed the wrong...
We're sorry. Your call cannot be completed as dialed.
What the hell?
Um...
Have a good lunch, man.
All right.
All right, yeah. I'll see you in a bit.
Mmm-hmm.
Yeah.
I called North Hollywood, I called Van Nuys, Devonshire.
My Address? My home is Los Angeles. It's a Los Angeles address.
Yes, I realize that this is Burbank. I'm trying to...
Well, that's what I did.
I called right away, right when it happened,
and they sent a guy.
LAPD, yes, they sent a guy.
No, I understand that, okay? You're confused.
Something doesn't add up, 'cause whoever you sent out...
Mother...
Son of a bitch.
Hi there. Hi.
How can I help you?
I'm looking for Dr. Easton.
He's just getting ready to leave for the day. Are you a patient?
Maria, we need to schedule Mrs. Tapper for next week.
Okay.
Oh, Dr. Easton, there's a gentleman here asking for you.
Hi. Hi.
I'm Ian. Ian Mitchell.
Can I help you?
Yeah.
This is gonna sound a little strange but I thought maybe...
This was placed on my doorstep this morning.
I thought maybe you might know why or where from.
If there was any... Thought maybe you...
Excuse me, you can't go back there! Hey!
I just wanna talk!
Hey!
Hey! Wait!
Okay, okay. It's okay, it's okay.
You don't need to do that.
You're new, aren't you?
You were outside my house this morning.
Who are you?
My name's Mara.
I live in Torrance. I teach third grade.
I've killed four people in the last six months.
Two men. Two women.
You were supposed to be my fifth.
Why didn't you?
Never done it from close up before.
I could feel you starting to go.
What's happening? I mean...
It's a game.
A game?
Yeah.
What kind of game?
Not the fun kind.
How was I... I mean, why am I...
No one knows why they're chosen.
One day the box just shows up and it starts.
After that, there's no getting out.
Where does it come from? The box.
The Watchers.
The Watchers?
Wait, wait, wait. No, no, no.
No, no, no, no. Please.
Just, please. No, no, no, no. Please. Please don't.
Please, please, please. Don't, don't.
Don't, please don't.
I can't do this anymore.
I'm done.
But you just said there's no getting out.
Hey. Hey, what are you... Hey.
Wait. Stop! No!
Oh!
Can I talk to her? She's asleep.
Look, I swear to God,
I would've been there if I could've.
Yeah.
How'd she do?
Yeah, she did great. She scored a goal by herself.
That's great.
Yeah, it is. Yeah.
I'm sorry I wasn't there.
Yeah, I know.
Laura, I think I got caught up in something and I just need to...
Ian, I'm tired, I'm gonna go to sleep. Okay?
Yeah. Okay.
Good night.
Fuck!
Hi. I'm Roy. Today we're gonna learn how to load a 9mm Beretta.
This is a 9mm Beretta.
You're gonna take your shooting thumb over here,
you're gonna press this button so you eject and release the magazine.
Load the cartridges in,
place it back in the gun,
you're gonna pull back the slide like this so you are cocked and ready.
It's just a thing of beauty.
All you gotta do is point at what
you're shooting at and just pull the trigger.
Remember, when you are firing your weapon, if you're in a situation,
always have your hand's remaining fingers underneath this trigger.
So your got your index of your shooting hand on the trigger.
Everything else, just underneath.
Gun safety is important so when you are loaded
always face it away or face it down.
...when a school teacher fell from the roof of
a downtown parking structure early this morning.
Friends and family say that she had been wrestling with
depression and addiction issues...
It's bullshit.
In other news, a legislation to allow
on-leash pets to be admitted...
Shit.
...into California state parks has been denied yet again.
A tragic shooting at the parking lot of West Covina mall
has left one man dead, another injured.
The target appeared to have no relation to the shooter.
But the police are now saying that the two
had a prior altercation the previous morning.
I think I've got it all set up.
All right. All you have to do is plug it into your laptop
so you can sync it with your calendar
and all of your files and stuff.
Okay.
I also put a couple of extra apps on here for you, too.
I hope you don't mind. No.
This one here, you can use voice memos, text, PDFs,
and then send them all in one email.
Cool. And...
Oh. A phone-finding app. So you don't lose your phone again.
You can just go onto their website
and they can find your phone using GPS.
It's so helpful because I lose my phone all the time.
Does that really work?
Yeah, it's crazy.
Oh, also, your wife...
Uh, sorry, ex...
Laura.
Laura called last night at 6:30.
Already spoke to her.
Good.
Everything okay?
I mean, with you guys.
It's fine.
Everything's fine.
Do we have any coffee this morning?
Yeah, I can go make some.
Thank you.
Are we good?
I mean, me and you, are we good?
You know, because last Thursday I was a little forward
and I don't normally drink that much.
I'm flattered. Really, it's...
It's okay. Okay.
I just wanna let you know, I really like my job, so...
I know. You're doing a great job.
I appreciate it. You're doing okay.
Okay. It's okay.
Coffee.
Thanks.
Go, Ellie!
Amber?
Yeah?
Was anybody in my office today?
I mean, beside you, did anybody come in here?
Uh, not that I know of.
Oh, God. Is something missing? Is something wrong?
No, no. It's fine. I just wanna make sure
that nobody's in here. Okay? Ever.
Okay. Will do.
All right.
Dr. Easton's office.
Yes, Dr. Easton please.
He's with a patient right now. May I ask who's calling?
It's urgent. Can you tell him it's one of his hunting buddies.
Hunting buddies?
He'll know what I mean.
This is Dr. Easton.
Daniel?
Who is this? It's Ian Mitchell.
I came by your office yesterday. I showed you a photo.
Look, just, please don't hang up. I don't want you to hang up.
Just hear me out. Please.
What do you want?
You know what the photo meant. Don't you?
Please, I have a family.
So do I. That's why I'm calling.
I want to meet.
Do you think I'm stupid? No.
No, look, I don't want to hurt you, okay? I don't wanna hurt anyone.
I've never hurt anyone.
I just wanna talk about this, okay?
I wanna work this out, for both of us.
We can meet somewhere public. Somewhere crowded. How's that?
Look, I obviously know where you work.
And I can very easily get your home address.
If I wanted to do something to you,
don't you think that I might have already done it already?
11:30.
There's a diner at the corner of Fourth and Main.
I'll see you there.
Whatever you want.
So, do we shake hands?
I don't know.
Thank you. For meeting me.
I figured it could only help.
Yeah, me, too.
Did you get the...
Something to drink, fellas?
Coffee. Black, please.
Uh, tea. Do you have hot tea?
Black or green?
Green. Thank you.
So you got the package?
Yeah.
When?
Yesterday morning.
So then, 48 hours?
Something like that. Yeah.
Coffee.
Thank you.
Green tea. Thank you.
Uh...
You got one as well?
Yeah, I got the...
This picture.
Karen Glass.
I looked her up.
She lives in Pasadena.
She's got a big townhouse.
Three kids. A husband.
She's the head chef of some restaurant up there.
She's got three kids.
Who...
Why would anyone want me to do that?
I don't know. Look at the...
Look at the time. It's 11:30 PM.
The 15th. That's tomorrow night. That's tomorrow night.
Who would want me to do that?
That's what I'm trying to figure out.
At first I thought it was a joke.
Like a prank or something.
Right.
And then I started getting the phone calls
and the letters and threatening.
Threatening my wife.
Threatening her.
Did you go to the cops?
Yeah. Of course.
And they did nothing.
No. I even went in to the big one. You know, on...
Flower, yeah.
I brought the gun and everything.
And they tried to... Well, they did, they arrested me.
They put me in holding.
You know, for bringing an unregistered gun into a police station.
It probably wasn't the smartest thing you could've done.
I didn't know what I was... I wanted help.
And then after a couple of hours down there
in the holding cell they just let me go.
No charges. No nothing.
That's it?
Here's the messed up thing. They gave me the gun back.
Just, "Here you go. Have a nice day."
It feels...
You know, I'm glad to be telling someone about this.
I feel like I've been going crazy.
I wish you were.
I wish we both were.
Are you hungry? It's on me.
No, no, it's okay.
Food's good here, though.
It is.
You work around here?
Yeah, I do. Just up on Bunker Hill there.
What do you do?
I'm a lawyer.
What kind?
Defense attorney.
So, like criminals and stuff?
Yeah. Criminals and stuff.
So maybe you'll defend me when...
Need a menu? You have a family?
I do have a wife but we're separated.
I'm sorry. That's tough.
It's better this way.
Kids?
Thank you.
You? You have kids?
Would it make a difference?
No.
I already made up my mind. I'm not hurting anyone.
You know, you say that. You say that now.
But when someone you love is threatened,
when they're threatened, you're thinking,
it's gonna change.
Daniel, that's why I asked. I wanted to figure this out. Okay?
For both of us. Together.
I mean, there's no one else you can trust, right?
Except the person assigned to kill me.
I told you, I'm not hurting anyone.
I wouldn't even know how to.
The first time I held a gun was yesterday morning.
So what now? I mean, what now?
We find out who's involved. Everyone's involved.
Come on, it can't be everyone.
If you can't go to the police.
So what about finding other people like us?
I mean, you and I can't be the only ones.
They're gonna find out. They know. They always know.
It's like...
It's like they're watching. It's like they're listening all the time.
So, have you contacted your target?
Have you confronted her?
I went to see her, up there.
At her work.
She was getting off work. She was walking out.
I sat in the alley behind her.
Watched her leave.
I didn't say anything to her. I didn't even get out of the car.
I thought about what it would take.
If I could do it.
Does that make me evil?
I want you to look at this.
Look at this. It's okay.
God damn it, look at it! Look at it.
Look at this! Keep your voice down. It's okay.
Look at this.
Look!
This is Patrick. He's seven years old.
This is Emma. She just turned three.
This is my wife, Sara.
We're happy.
Look at this.
Because when you are standing outside my door with a gun,
I don't care what your reason is.
This is who you're hurting.
Not me. This.
Look.
I'm gonna leave you alone.
You're not gonna see me ever again.
I promise.
Stop!
Wait! Wait, wait, wait!
Wait. I didn't mean to, man.
I didn't mean it! I didn't mean it!
I swear, okay? I didn't mean it!
Who are you?
Paul. My name is Paul, okay?
They made me do it. Who?
The Watchers.
When did you get this?
This morning.
You're my third.
Your third? Target.
What happened to the other two?
I didn't have a choice.
It's not like they give you a choice!
It's bullshit!
They have my sister. All right?
And they've been sending me pictures of her!
They're doing all kinds of horrible stuff to her, okay?
I'm just a guy, man.
I'm really sorry that I shot you.
I play a shitload of video games.
Like first person shooters and shit.
And I just have to pretend like that's what this is.
Why do you call them Watchers?
It's just what we call them, you know?
Look, once you've been in the game,
you're gonna meet some people, okay?
And you're gonna exchange information
and that's just what we all call them.
They got eyes and ears everywhere. They see everything.
They're in our webcams and traffic cams.
I mean, shit, the other day I found a little camera
in the light fixture above my bed.
Like they're watching me sleep or something.
Or watching me jerk off, I don't know.
Hell, they're probably watching us right now!
Aren't you? Huh?
Hey, fuck you!
The thing is, man, once you're in, you are in. That's it.
I mean, one day you're just some guy,
and then you get a box on your doorstep,
and then your whole fucking life is over.
So what, I walk away and you're gonna keep following me, aren't you?
No, no, no, no. You're not gonna stop.
No, I swear, I won't. I promise.
What about the other two?
No!
God! Just, please, don't kill me, okay? Just, please, don't kill me.
Please don't kill me. Please don't kill me.
Don't kill me. Don't kill me, please.
I gotta save my sister. Look, I don't want to do this anymore.
Let me go. I mean, hey, man, maybe we can work together.
You know, team up or something? Don't you have a family?
You just shot me! How can I trust you?
Look, I know, and I am so, so sorry about...
You just shot me in broad daylight!
If you kill me, they're just gonna send someone else, okay, man?
That's what they do.
Tomorrow morning, some poor sap is gonna wake up
and there's gonna be a box on his doorstep with your picture in it.
It never stops.
It never stops, man.
Just let me go.
I'm not gonna kill you.
You're not?
And you're not gonna follow me!
No. Right, I'm not.
Right.
You're not.
Wait, wait, wait!
Well, what am I supposed to do now, huh?
Hey, what about my sister, man?
You just killed her!
You just killed my sister!
Are you just gonna leave me here?
Oh, fuck.
Okay. Okay.
Okay.
Oh!
Oh, God. Don't pass out. Don't pass out.
Come on.
Okay.
Oh!
Okay.
Oh! Oh!
Oh!
Don't pass out. Don't pass out.
Look like a million bucks.
Come on, come on, come on, come on.
Hi, this is Laura, I can't get to the phone right now.
Please leave a message.
Hey, Laura, it's Ian. Listen, I'm gonna pick Ellie up from school today.
I wanna make it up to her for missing the soccer game yesterday, so...
Son of...
Hey, Laura, it's Ian.
Listen, I'm gonna pick Ellie up from school today.
I wanna make it up to her for missing the soccer game yesterday, so...
Hey, this is Ian Mitchell. Leave a message.
Ian, it's me. Why are you picking Ellie up from school?
She has soccer practice. Call me.
But I was gonna paint horses!
I know, baby doll, but you're gonna
like this much better, okay, I promise.
I thought Mommy was picking me up.
Nope. Nope, you got me.
I'm gonna take you somewhere special,
okay? This is gonna be a big surprise.
Ooh! The pumpkin patch? No.
Peach Tree Pottery?
You know, if I tell you, it's not gonna be a surprise.
Hey, wait, wait, wait, wait...
Okay.
Okay, go ahead.
Take your bag.
Get your belt for me, okay?
Okay.
How come none of the other kids get to leave?
None of the other kids' daddies are as awesome as your daddy is.
Got it? Got it.
I'm so excited about the surprise.
Yeah.
Okay, here we go.
Okay back there, sweetheart?
Yeah.
Daddy, aren't I going to miss soccer practice?
Daddy?
Yeah, baby?
Aren't I gonna miss soccer?
I don't know, baby girl.
But I have a game coming up.
I know.
Daddy, I really gotta pee.
Baby, I need you to hold it for me, okay?
I don't think I can.
You drawin' back there?
Yeah. What are you drawin'?
A horsie.
Horsie. When was this?
At the ranch. The ranch?
Mommy took you to a ranch? Let me see.
Yeah. Look at that.
Baby, I don't... I don't have blue eyes.
See? They're brown.
Oh, that's not you, it's Chris.
Who?
Who's Chris?
Mommy's friend. He takes me to ride horsies.
He does?
Do you see Chris often?
Sometimes.
Does he... Do he and Mommy have sleepovers?
Mmm... Sometimes.
Daddy, I can't hold it anymore, I've really gotta go.
All right.
Okay.
Okay, come on.
Come on, let's go, baby.
Here we go.
Okay, this is good. You can go here, okay?
Daddy, people can see me.
Baby, nobody can see you, all right?
I'm gonna stand right here in front of you,
nobody's gonna... There's nobody out here.
Nobody, nope, nobody's watchin'...
Nobody.
I can't. I'm gonna fall.
Okay, well here, just hang onto my hand.
Fine.
Okay, here you go.
Just lean back, there you go.
Good? Don't let go.
I'm not gonna let you go.
Baby girl, I need you to finish up, okay?
Honey? You almost done? You need to hurry up, please.
It's really a lot.
I know, well, could you just stop and do the rest later, please?
Wait! No, wait! Look, hurry up, come on.
Come on.
Done?
You done? Okay. All done.
Okay, come on. Come on, let's go, let's go.
Okay. Come on, here we go, here we go.
You know what? I'm gonna put you in the front seat.
But I have to have my car seat.
Oh, no, you're a big girl. Mommy said so.
No, Mommy's not here.
Go ahead. Get in, hop in.
Sir, put your hands over your head.
Put your hands over your head right now.
I'm with my daughter. It's a misunderstanding.
Put your hands over your head right now and turn around!
Whatever you heard is a misunderstanding.
Daddy?
I'm with my daughter. That is my daughter, okay?
Whatever you heard, that is my daughter!
Daddy! You'll be okay. It's gonna be all right.
No, no!
Daddy! Her birthday's July 8th.
Daddy!
Dad! Daddy! Daddy!
Get away from her!
You put her down!
Daddy! You put her down right now!
Relax, Ian.
Ellie! Ellie! Ahhh!
Ellie!
Come on.
Oh, shit.
Oh!
Wait, Ian, I don't understand.
The cops, they took Ellie!
But the police have her, right?
No, they're not real police, or if they are
real police, they're being paid.
Move, move!
They beat the shit out of me, they put Ellie in their car
and they drove away.
So where is she?
I don't know.
You don't know? I don't know!
I'm calling the police!
No, don't do that! Don't do that. Look...
Look, I'm pullin' up to your house,
I'm gonna be there in two seconds, okay?
Laura? Ian?
Hey, Laura, I need you to listen to me, I...
Who's this? Is this Chris? Are you Chris? Hi, Chris.
Ian, listen, if there's anything...
Shut the fuck up, Chris.
Do you have scissors? Are they still in the kitchen?
Wait. Ian! Ian, what is going on?
I need you to cut these off me.
What? Just cut.
I still don't understand why we can't call the police!
Because we can't trust them. Any of them?
No. How's that even possible?
Does he really have to be here right now?
Anything you say to me, you say to him.
I need to talk to you in private. Wait...
Okay, Ian, listen, that's enough, man.
What, are you completely insane?
I am calling... Wait.
No, no, don't call anyone.
Give me the phone.
No, Ian! Stop, Ian!
What is wrong with you? Stop!
I need to show you something, all right?
You're the only person that can tell me something about this.
Go, Ellie!
Where did you get that?
I don't know, these are the same people that took Ellie.
That's what I'm trying to tell you, okay?
Someone has been watching me, someone's been watching her.
That's why I took her out of school.
I'm trying to keep her safe, but they caught up to me.
Is this a client that's mad at you...
No. This guy. Who's this? Who is that right there?
It's one of Ellie's friend's dads.
What has he got to do with this?
He's got a camera, okay? And that footage on that camera
will tell me who is shooting this, and
whoever's shooting this took our daughter.
Laura. I feel sick.
Here, sit down, here, sit down, sit down.
Okay, see this? See this guy right here?
See this photo, this photo was left on my doorstep
yesterday morning, right after you left.
It was placed there with a gun.
And they want me to kill this man.
Kill him? Who is he?
I don't know. He's just some guy with a family. He's a dentist.
And if I don't kill him, they're gonna hurt Ellie.
This is... These people are sick,
and this is a game to them, and they're watching everything.
They've got cameras and they're very, very connected.
Okay, and they're probably watching right now.
What? You sound like a crazy person.
I know. I know.
And I'm still trying to wrap my brain around all of this.
Okay, this isn't happening...
No, this is happening. They took our baby.
They took her. Look at me.
This is happening.
Now what I need... I need his phone number
'cause I need to find out who shot this tape.
And whoever shot this tape has our daughter.
Okay.
And I'll get her back, I promise you.
But we can't trust anybody, okay? We cannot trust anybody.
You've just gotta let me do this, okay?
So, what I need... I need his phone number, okay?
Okay.
Um...
Let me get it. Hang on.
I know I have it.
You broke my nose.
Need an attorney?
Here. Here it is.
You son of a bitch.
Come on. Wait.
Here...
You see this, see this?
Wait.
Don't.
So you do have it?
Great. That's great.
How's right now? Can I come over now?
I'm just really anxious to see her score her first goal.
Yeah, I know, I was just... Her first goal on camera, that's what I meant.
What's your address?
Thank you.
Okay, great, great. Yeah, I'll see you in a few.
Gotcha.
Armin? Hey, it's Ian Mitchell, your attorney. How you doin'?
Good. It's good to hear.
Listen, I need a favor.
Now, under normal circumstances, I would never condone this.
But these are not normal circumstances.
Every school district in Los Angeles county
uses the same security company.
Now, that security company stores all its footage on the same server.
If I were to give you a time, date, and location,
do you think you could hack into that server and rip some footage for me?
Yes.
You like to watch, huh?
Now I'm watching you.
You were a bad little girl last night,
keepin' Daddy up, and I... Gotta go, bye.
I need a favor.
You need a vacation.
Are you still friends with the sheriff deputy down in Long Beach?
Why are we whispering?
Are you still friends with him or not? Yes, yes.
All right. I need him to run that plate right there,
and I need an address, like in the next hour.
This is gonna be the biggest favor I'm ever gonna ask of you.
Yeah, let me just plug my phone back in.
Hey, you can't do that.
You can't do that. Not until after I've left the room.
When was the last time you slept?
Are you gonna help me or not?
Yes. Jesus! Yes, I'll help you.
Help...
Suhil's a good dude, he'll hook you up.
You're welcome!
Hey, did you get it?
Easy peasy lemon squeezy.
Hold on.
Where the hell are you? Nowhere.
Dude's name is Osterman, Chad Osterman. Lives up in Sylmar.
6025 San Fernando Drive, apartment 2F.
Sixty twenty-five.
Suhil says the dude's done some time, too.
Multiple drug charges, coke, meth. You name it.
Anything violent?
Not on his rap sheet. Is that gunfire?
No.
You're welcome. Again.
Shit.
He has your daughter.
Get her back.
You get her back right now.
Who is it?
Frank. It's Frank from downstairs.
Hi, is Chad here?
We'll turn the music down, sorry.
Wait, wait, wait, well, actually...
I actually need to talk to him,
so if you can just...
Sorry, bad time.
Chad!
Don't move! Don't do that! Nobody moves, neither one of you moves.
Hey, I'm not holdin' much, man. You can look for yourself.
You can take whatever you want.
I'm not here to rob you. Where is she?
What?
Don't you move! Down!
Don't you do it. Down, down.
Are you gonna shoot me?
Yes, if you don't listen to me.
I don't think you're really gonna shoot me.
You just don't look like the type of guy that shoots a girl.
Actually, you don't look like the type of guy that shoots anyone.
So I'm just gonna go and let you two boys play.
Sit the fuck down. Sit down!
Okay, all right...
Sit down. Sit down!
Hey, hey, hey, come on.
Man, I don't know you, but I didn't do anything.
Where is she?
I swear I didn't do anything.
Where is she? My daughter, Ellie!
Where is she? I don't know, man!
I don't know. I didn't do any... I didn't take her. I swear.
I don't deal with that kinda stuff!
Who does deal with that kind of stuff? I don't know.
I would never hurt anybody, man.
I swear to you, especially not a little girl.
Until you tell me who has her, I'm gonna assume that it's you.
Eventually, I'm gonna start to do very bad things.
Okay, okay, all right, dude, I swear to you,
I swear to you I don't know anything, all right?
You videotaped her soccer game. I saw it.
I saw you. Oh, man.
Oh, dude, that was just a job, man. That's a job, all right?
They just give me an envelope, it has details inside, and my pay...
Who gives you an envelope?
I don't know. It's somebody different every single time.
I was just getting a cigarette.
Look, dude, I swear to you, okay?
I don't know anything.
I don't believe you. Oh, come on, man!
You think they would tell me anything, huh? A fuckin' junkie?
I mean, come on, dude. All they trust me to do is to do the job.
Just... I don't know what they do with the footage.
When do you meet 'em next?
Tonight. Supposed to meet them later tonight.
Where?
I don't know. They send me a text.
You're gonna take me with you.
No, no, no, dude, come on, man. No, no, no.
They will see us, all right?
They will see both of us, and they will kill both of us.
I'm gonna kill you right now if you don't!
So how much longer do you wanna live?
I called the cops, assholes!
You fired a gun, jerk-off.
I gotta make some changes.
Ian.
What an honor.
Please. We saved you a seat.
Sit down.
You found us on your first hunt.
How exciting. Isn't this exciting? Hmm?
I'm excited.
How many have found us on their first hunt, two?
I think it's two.
Only two.
Well, that's... That's amazing work, Ian.
Seriously.
Where's my daughter?
You know, if you startle a deer before it dies,
meat's ruined.
They tense up if you startle them.
And if they die like that,
well, it's unpleasant,
to say the least.
Mmm.
This one
never saw it comin'!
I want her back.
Excuse me?
I know you have her.
Yes, we do.
Well, what do you think this is?
Just because you found us doesn't mean it's over.
You know the rules by now.
It's not over until you expire the target.
And let us not be mistaken,
it has to be you.
Fuck you, no.
Hmm.
That hurt my feelings.
No, I'm not gonna do it.
Hmm.
I think you will.
What do you think?
See?
We're all counting on it.
Ellie!
Ellie?
Fuck.
Ellie? Ellie?
What the hell? Ellie, baby, get up!
I'm gonna get you out of there!
Daddy! Daddy, I want to go home!
Back up! Back up! Go get away from the door!
Back into the corner, okay.
Get down. Close your eyes. Close your eyes, back up, okay?
No, no, no, Ellie, Ellie!
Dad!
Ellie! No!
I want my daddy!
Daddy! Daddy!
Babe, got you some tea.
Started smoking again, huh?
You've never seen me smoke.
I haven't. But you told me when you did.
I still think we should call the police.
Honey, do you want to?
Ian said not to. But they're the police. Right?
Yes. Exactly.
Baby, if you want me to call, I will call right now.
Is that what you want?
Yes? Yes? Okay. Yeah. Yeah.
Come here.
It's okay.
Yes, hello. LAPD, please. Thanks.
Yes, hello. I need to report a kidnapping.
A 6-year-old girl.
We're not sure.
No. We didn't actually see it happen.
Okay. Yes, please. 1621 Kenter.
Wait, who? Okay.
Okay. Thank you very much.
It is all good, okay? He's gonna be here in 15 minutes.
Who?
Detective Inkster.
Okay.
I need to use the bathroom.
Sure. Of course.
No, no...
Babe? Yeah?
You okay in there?
Yeah.
Yeah? You sure? What are you doing?
Laura...
Laura, let me in.
Laura, open the door!
Laura!
Ian! Please. Open the door!
Ian!
Ian! Please.
Ian!
Chris is chasing me.
Chris what?
He's been chasing me. I've been running.
Where's your car?
I had to leave it.
And my wallet and my keys. And my phone.
And then this bus driver, he gave me a lift here.
I need water. Water.
You were right about everything.
Here. Here.
Okay. Now tell me what happened.
It was the detective. He called him.
Detective Inkster.
And then I remembered everything you said about them watching us.
And then I checked the vents
in the bathroom.
And there was a camera in there, Ian.
And then he knew somehow. Chris knew.
How do you know Chris?
He was a client. For how long?
I don't know. Like, a few months.
Jesus...
He's in on it, isn't he?
Sit down. Sit down. I can't breathe.
Just breathe. You're gonna be fine. It's going to be okay.
I found them. What?
I know where they are. And I found them and I saw her.
You saw her? Is she okay?
She's okay.
Yeah? She's okay.
We need to go get her then.
It's not that simple, Laura. She's our fucking daughter, Ian!
Look, they knew I was coming. You understand?
They knew I was coming. They were expecting me.
And they will be expecting me if I show up.
Okay? I can't just run in there.
You get it?
Then what are you gonna do?
I have time.
No. Take this.
No, no. Take this.
Where did you get this?
I got it from a guy who was trying to kill me.
Did you kill him?
No. I shot him in the knee.
What?
Look, take this gun, and you lock that door.
And if anybody tries to come here,
you're gonna shoot them in the face.
Do you understand?
I don't even know how to use this.
Here, come here. You watch this video.
You watch this. This will help out. Okay?
Jesus, Ian! How many guns have you got?
Just...
I'm going to get her back, okay? I promise.
You just stay here, and you lock that door.
I'll get her back.
You're gonna pull back the slide...
Come on! Come on!
I'm looking for Celmis.
Some nice shoes, homes.
Is he here? You a cop?
No?
Then what? I need a little more info, ese. Little more data.
If not, step off, ese.
I'm his attorney.
Oops.
Damn, g�ero.
I ain't never seen no attorney packin' like this before.
You wanna tell me what you're really here for, homes?
He owes me a favor.
A favor? A favor?
How about I do you a favor and snuff you out right now,
instead of letting my carnal here gut you out like a wild pig,
nice and slow, little by little.
Choice is yours, ese.
You think 'cause I got nice shoes
I haven't had a gun pointed at me before?
In the last 48 hours, I've been choked out,
beat up, drugged, arrested, and shot.
So I'm gonna give you a choice.
You can either stand here waving your dick around,
wasting my fucking time,
or you can go tell Celmis that Ian Mitchell is here
and he wants to cash in his favor.
Ice him out, ese? Ice him out, ese?
I don't know. Should he?
How many?
I don't know. A dozen maybe.
They packin' or what? I mean, sidearms? Shotguns?
What? What are we looking at?
I'm not sure. I don't know.
High risk, yo.
Isn't that what you do? Celmis High Risk?
Yeah. But there's an order to things here, you know.
Now you talking about rollin' up to some
white boy, Malibu fortress out there, man.
That's a line we just don't cross. You feel me?
You said anything I need.
You said that. You made me a promise. Anything that I needed.
I was talking about some new rims or some shit, man.
Something simple, all right?
Look.
I know that you killed those kids down in Boyle Heights.
All right? No disrespect.
I didn't take your case because I thought you were innocent.
I'm sure you've got a reason for it, too.
You've got a business to run. You've got a family to feed.
That's the order of things that you're talking about.
Celmis, I'm the guy who has to pretend
like I don't have a conscience.
All right? I've got to sleep every night
with that shit rattling around my head.
See, if it wasn't for me, you'd be sitting up in Chino right now.
You'd be watching your boys grow up
through a piece of double-paned polycarbonate.
I took your case. I helped you.
I'm asking you to help me.
Don't look like no one's home.
Man, this is burnt.
Come on, man, let's get this over with, all right?
No one here.
Is this a joke?
No, no, no. They were all right here.
Ellie! Ellie!
She was right here.
They had her right here.
All I want to know is how you got mixed up with these people, man.
They chose me.
They chose you? That's what you're telling me?
It's like a game, okay?
They like to watch.
You trippin' or somethin', man? You on something?
Three days ago, somebody put a box on my doorstep
with a gun and a photo of a guy I'd never met before,
expecting me to kill him.
And if I don't kill this guy in the next eight hours,
I'm never going to get her back.
Then I met this guy. He's a decent guy. He's got a family.
How could they expect some...
Shit.
What's goin' on, homes?
Hey.
Let go of that, homes.
Yeah, give him the piece, man. That's right.
You know, I'm just kind of thinking out loud here.
And I was kind of curious about something.
I want to know why you think his life is worth more than mine.
Is that 'cause he's a white boy?
Is that kind of what it is, or what?
No.
Shut the fuck up!
Man, pick his ass up.
How you like that, homie? You know what's funny, man,
is that you want to drag me and my homeboys out here
when all you had to do was cap some pansy-ass cracker, huh?
You want me to smoke his ass, ese?
No, no, no, no.
Kick back. Kick back. Relax, homes.
Let's hear him say it first, man.
Yeah, I just want to hear you say it, dog.
All I want to know is why.
Why what?
Why you think this vato's life is worth more than ours.
You see, because Ignacio here, he got like five kids, man.
Ain't that right, homeboy?
That I know of.
Yeah.
That's a lot of mouths counting on him, man.
But you want to drag us up here. You want to put us in danger,
because you don't want to get your hands dirty.
Well, see, that's funny to me, man.
You want to tell us why?
I already know why.
It's because you're a fucking asshole, right?
That's what it is, huh?
You know what's funny, dog? You got a heavy conscience.
'Cause I ain't sittin' up in Chino right now, man,
you think you're some kind of fucking hero or what, ese?
Let me tell you something, man. I take care of my kids, homey.
But it's obvious that you don't take care of yours.
'Cause how are you gonna let some shit like that happen?
Get the hell up, man! Get the hell up, ese!
I capped all three of them bitches in Boyle Heights, man.
And you didn't even bother to ask yourself why.
I knew that it was them or it was me.
And if it was me, then I knew it was my kids, too.
You understand what I'm saying?
We following now?
Yeah? Good. I'll tell you what, ese.
You protect your own, all right?
Take that shit.
Yeah.
Let's go.
You dropping us off or what?
Yeah. I got to do this alone.
That's what they want to see. Those are the rules.
You know where this cracker lives or what?
I'm not going to go to his house. They'll know I'm coming.
How you going to find him?
Do you have a phone? Yeah.
Can you look something up for me?
Look up Karen Glass.
G-L-A-S-S.
Head chef. Pasadena.
Red Hawk Kitchen?
What's the address?
3901 Green Street, right there in Pasadena.
That's all it says.
Is that where your target works?
No. That's where his target works.
He's only got 40 minutes.
Okay.
Okay, yeah.
Please. Please.
Just be quiet. Please.
Please, no.
You don't want to do this.
Think.
Think about my kids.
No. No. No, think. I'm sorry, I...
Let's talk about it. Let's talk about it.
No, we can talk about it.
You're not a killer. You're not a killer.
You told me so yourself.
Good. See?
Good.
Get up.
What? Stand up.
Walk. Where are we going?
Somewhere not here.
Okay, okay.
When is my expiration time?
Is it...
Who did they take? Your wife?
They took mine.
I can help you. You know, we can team up...
Just stop. No, we'll team up together.
We can fight back.
Just stop talking!
Okay.
You won't be the same after this.
I know.
Turn it off.
You...
You're gonna do it here?
You don't wanna do it in the woods or something?
House is good.
House I can control.
Stop it! Get your hand off. Stop!
Out. Out.
Get out!
Go on.
You do anything like that again,
I will shoot you right here, right now.
Okay, okay. Okay.
Turn around. Turn around!
Okay. Walk.
Turn right here.
Stop right there. Okay.
Step away from the door. Put your hands in front of you.
Okay. Put that on your mouth.
Cover that big mouth.
Hurry up!
Is it tight? Is it tight?
Ian?
Just get over there. Go. Inside.
Come on.
What are you doing? Where's Ellie?
She was gone. They were all gone. Nobody was there.
Whose blood is that?
He's not innocent, Laura.
That is his target's blood. He just bashed
her head in with a baseball bat.
And he did it to protect his family.
Which is exactly what I have to do.
It's what I have to do.
No, this isn't happening.
This is happening. The Watchers are real.
The game is real, and they're winning, Laura.
And I can't beat them. I just have to play the game.
There's got to be another way.
There is no other way. And they're gonna hurt our daughter.
If I don't do this right now,
they're gonna hurt our little girl
and we're never gonna see her again.
Look at me. Stay with me.
Sit.
Sit down. Sit down.
Daniel. Daniel, sit down!
Sit!
Put your hands behind your back. Here.
Give me your hands. No.
I'm almost done.
I can pull the trigger, and I can stop everything.
Look at him.
If he moves, shoot him.
No.
No, please.
Please don't, please.
That's good. That's good.
It's okay. You're okay.
I don't want you here for this next part.
What are you gonna do?
We can't use the gun. The gun's too loud,
and the neighbors are gonna hear it, so I'll...
I'll think of something.
Go inside. Go on.
Laura, look at me. Go inside the house.
Go inside the house, and you play some loud music,
and you forget about what's going on in here, okay?
Go, go.
Mommy?
Ellie? Ellie?
Help me. I'm scared.
Ellie? Honey...
Mommy, help me.
The number you have dialed...
Come on. Come on.
Damn it.
Come on.
Come on. Come on.
Die!
Thank you. Thank you.
I couldn't do it like this.
I just... I couldn't do it.
Of course not. Of course not. You're not a killer.
You're not a killer, Ian.
You're better than me. You're better than this.
You should just... You should just let me go.
And we'll just forget the whole thing.
I just go... I'll just go.
No, no. No.
No, no!
No. No. No.
No! No!
No!
It'll be quick.
No!
No. No. No! No!
No! Wait! Wait! Wait!
No! Wait! Wait!
What do we do now?
I'm not sure.
They should've given her back by now.
Ellie! Ellie! Honey!
Oh, honey! Oh, honey!
Oh, honey, are you okay?
Are you all right? You're okay.
Ellie, give me that.
No.
They said it's for you, Mommy.
What?
Come here.
Daddy?
Don't.
Laura, don't.
Laura?
It's okay. It's okay.
Mom, what is it?
Come here, sweet pea, come here.
