Coffin (2011) - full transcript

Jack Samms' evening started normal enough. But then the mysterious masked stranger, known as Trick, pays him a visit. Within minutes, Jack is faced with a ticking clock after Trick reveals that Jack's estranged wife and her lover are buried in a wooden box - and will be out of oxygen in 75 minutes. With two cops hot on his trail, Jack must try to avoid being framed for his wife's murder while under Trick's constant watch. When a pay-off to Trick goes wrong, Jack must engage in a dangerous game of cat and mouse with the masked stranger in order to save his wife... and himself.

Tick, tock, tick, tock
tick, tock, tick, tock...

No...

Oh, God

Sean?

Sean?

I'm here, I'm here

Where are we?

I don't know

It feels like a box of some kind.

Oh, my God! Help!

What do you remember?



That guy at the house last night

He just came out of
the shadows at me.

I tried to get away Sean
I did, but couldn't...

He said he was gonna kill us

Oh, my God!

Help! What's happening?

Help us!

Wait, I feel something

What? What is it?

It feels like a lighter
Hold on, hold on.

Okay, I got it

Oh, my God, no!

Help us!

Help us! Anyone!
This thing isn't moving



Rona, listen to me
Help us!

Come on, come on

I don't think anyone
can hear us, okay?

I can't breathe

Here, Sweetie,
look at me I can't breathe.

We've got to save our energy, okay?

Just stay calm, stay calm

What is that?
What?

Oh, my God...
Is that a video camera?

That sick bastard is
videotaping us.

There's a box here, there's a box.

There
Okay.

I got it. Okay.

Oh, thank God

All right, wait

Oh, my God

We've got flashlights

Oh, my God, oh, my God!

Help

There's a phone

There's a phone!

Ohh

Shoot

I think it's blocked

What?
We can't call out

Oh, no

Oh, my God, oh, my God

"By the time you're reading this

the clock will already be ticking.

The estimation is that
you probably only have

75 more minutes before your
oxygen runs out

It says, "As you've already discovered

there's no escape from your coffin.

Your only hope of survival

depends on the actions of one man.

Only he can save you

His name

His name is Jack Samms

Oh, my.

Sean? Sean?

I'm here. I'm here

Where are I’ve?

I don't know

It feels...
Like a box of some kind

Oh, my God! Help!

What do you remember?

That guy at the house last night

Hello, Jack

How the hell did you get in here?

That's not really important

What is this?

Who are you?

The question, Jack

is what are you prepared to do?

Yes, go for the knives, Jack

Where is my wife?

But if you're the smart man
I think you are,

you'll listen to what
I have to say.

How do you know my name?

Word gets around

Is this about money?

If this is about money, I can pay.

Okay?

Let's just talk this through
and we'll be fine.

Your wife, Rona

She's a beautiful woman

Do you love her?

What?
What are you

Answer the question, Jack

What are you..
Do you love her?

Of course I love my wife

Because I hear

sometimes one can fall out of love.

You two have been married for
what... Five years?

Just tell me where she is

I won't tell the cops
I swear.

Humor me, Jack

How long have you been married?

Six years, next month

Now please!

Does she still do it
in the bedroom for you?

Just tell me what this is about

You break into my home

you start asking me questions
that make no sense.

Please!
I have money, I can pay!

Please just tell me
where my wife is!

You will learn to answer
all my questions,

or today will be very,
very bad for you

So answer the question

Like with any marriage

it might be getting a little routine.

When was the last time you
had sex?

Come on!

I will not warn you again!

I don't even know

It's been weeks, maybe months

I don't know, okay?

I guess that's why you slept
with that cocktail waitress.

A man does have his needs

Pay attention, class

That is a live feed
from a video camera

that I've placed in your
wife's coffin

I provided them with flashlights

so they could see their surroundings

Who are you?

You can call me... Trick

Obviously it's not my real name...

I just kind of like it

Where is she?

How can I get her back?

I think you've already lost
her, Jack.

It's a test

What kind of a test?

A test to see if your wife
and her lover

can last in that box
more than 75 minutes

before their oxygen runs out

Tell me where she is!

Have you ever seen anyone
die of suffocation, Jack?

Hmm?

That look of sheer primal terror
as the respiration arrests.

You know, and then

and then that sudden last twitch

and then something so sublime
so calm, so still...

And then nothing

as if you can see the life

just lift off the body like,
like a ghost.

It's quite beautiful, really.

You tell me where she is
you sick son of a bitch!

Do it if you want, Jack

but you will still be
the only suspect.

You see, I'm a man who puts
people in situations,

and it's how they react
to that situation that's key!

And this is your situation

Your wife has been having
an affair, and you know it!

Now she and her lover are trapped

in that wooden tomb underground

and they're losing air by the second!

So, yeah, you can try to
clip me out of this picture

and try to find her on your own.

Or you can go to the cops
and try to find her,

hopefully in 75 minutes!

But the fact remains, man,
there's only one person who

really knows where she is,
and you're looking at him!

So going to the cops
will definitely make you

Suspect Number One!

So what do I do?

What do you do?

Come here!

You have less than 75 minutes

to do exactly what I tell you
to do

and save your wife

Or you can try to beat
the murder rap

and let them die
and do this all on your own!

The choice is yours

You want money, don't you?

Well, money is a driving
factor, yes

But you know what?

I just find it kind of fun
watching people like you squirm

Why me?

Why her?

Why not?

Let's go for a drive shall we?

Ahh!

We're gonna die in here

Hey, don't say that
Don't!

We have time to figure this out

You know, he wouldn't be videotaping us

if he wasn't coming back for us

Because he wants
to watch us suffocate, Sean

I'll find a way out, okay?

I'll find a way out

Mind putting these on for me, Sport?

I thought you said you were
gonna cut him off back there

Well, Epperson, tonight I thought

you could use a little exercise

Out of breath?

Well, you look like an
insurance agent

Let's get that down

Out here, this means something

You've got to let them see it

Let's go, kid

All right, let's just take him
down for the lineup...

No, no, no
I'm sorry.

That is a huge waste of time
What are you doing?

Don't do this.
Watch and learn

Scott!
Let's go, jackass

Are you kidding me?

Epperson

You are

You are not taking this kid
Into that woman's apartment

Scott. Scott!

Miss Franks?

Detectives Scott and Epperson here

We need a suspect ID from you, please.

Come on back

Stay right here

Miss Franks?

Yeah, come on in

Miss Fran
Sorry.

Sorry for what?

Did you catch the perv or what?

Yeah, we think so

Then you shouldn't be sorry.

Miss Franks,
perhaps it would be best if you...

Call me Frankie

Miss Franks makes me sound
like my mother or something.

Okay.

Frankie, what I was saying is

perhaps it would be best
if you get some clothes on

and let's get this show
on the road.

Want a cigarette?

I don't smoke

You can look at me, Detective

I'm sure a man like you has seen
way more than this before.

Yeah, I have

Now get your clothes on
and let's go make an ID

What are you lookin' at, shithead?

You like climbin' trees

and lookin' in people's
windows, huh?

Well, it finally got you caught

I might have slipped
on my way down to the floor

Shut up, idiot

Is that the peeper?
Yeah, that's him.

Get him out of here
Get him in the car.

So, uh

Miss Franks, I was thinking

If you wouldn't walk around
here with the blinds open

Wearing... What it is
you're wearing,

we wouldn't have to come out
here and do this sort of thing.

I'm gonna take that into consideration.

Thank you

Please do
Okay.

Good evening
See you soon

We could have driven my car

I won't be going back
to your house, Jack.

I'd rather you be the one
to hail the cab ride home

If you're a good boy,
I might even pay the fare

Where are we going?

You know where we're going

The bank is closed

I'm sure you'll think of something.

I just had some investments
go south recently.

I can get my hands on some money.

How much do you want?

How much is she worth?

Wait, let me rephrase

How much do you think your
life of freedom is worth?

You can't ask me that

You're not very good
at answering questions

are you, Jack?

You can't put a price on lives,
that's all I'm saying

I can only get my hands
on so much in the next hour

You better hurry up!

Time is ticking!

You ever consider a nicotine patch?

Yeah, I've considered it

I'm wearin' one

It doesn't work

Gum doesn't work

Acupuncture is crap

Quittin' cold turkey is pretty
much out of the question

so I started my own system

Put it in my mouth don't
light it.

It's workin

Yeah, it's workin' like gang-busters

So, you guys get a lot
of peeping toms around here?

Na

Well, no more than
any other place, I guess

That's the most action
you're ever gonna see out here

I do miss the East Side

How long you been out here?

Four boring-ass years

You shoot one scumbag
drug dealer, unarmed...

Media makes a huge deal about it

the department wants to
make a lesson out of you

so they transfer you

You know what I should do?

I should shoot somebody out here

and see if they transfer me back

Yeah? Scott here

Yeah

Hold on a second

All right, go ahead

Mmm-hmm

The address?

Okay.

Yeah, we'll do a drive-by.

Okay.

Well, what was that about?

Some guy didn't show up for work,
like, two days

and now his landlady
is sayin' somebody

messed with the locks on his door.

All right, well, let's get going

We will...
As soon as I finish my dinner

Hey, every minute counts

Epperson, is it always
gonna be like this with you?

Because I have worked the beat.

You haven't

And for the record,
my last partner was a woman

and she didn't nag one bit

Hey, good call on this
turkey whole-wheat thing

It sucks

Let's just, uh

cover every seam
where the boards meet

If we can get a little separation

maybe we can get some
leverage to pry it open.

If we go through the floor

we're just gonna hit all that dirt.

I think, I think it's sand

so maybe we can just dig
our way through, you know?

We'll start with the floor first
and work our way to the walls

Yeah, but I don't

It's something, Rona!

At least we have to try something!

I mean, if you have a better idea,
just tell me now

Look, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Here, give me your light

Put it right here, okay?

Right there

All right, we should save the batteries.

Yeah.
All right. Okay.

Can you do one more thing for me?

I'll try.
All right

We need to breathe shallow

and just force yourself to relax

Okay.

We should be able to buy ourselves

some extra time in here

maybe enough time until he
comes back for us

Okay?
Okay.

We can do this
Yeah.

Start with the floor

Okay.
All right

How are you doing, Sweetheart?

Are you the apartment manager
who called earlier?

Yes, Sir

They said they'd be
sending someone right over

I've been waiting

Yes, I apologize

Something came up, police business,
you understand

I need to get to my
other rental property.

Okay, this will only take
a couple of minutes,

just a few questions real quick.

Epperson, would you mind...
Takin' a couple notes for us?

Thank you

Uh, first question, Sweetheart
your name?

Penelope Grant

Uh, Penelope

Do you mind if I call you Penelope?

Thank you

Uh, Penelope, when you saw
that the lock had been broken

and the door was partially open
did you enter the premises?

No, I called Mr. Sean
and he didn't answer.

He hasn't been around here
for a couple of days,

so, I called the police on my cellphone.

How long have you been renting
to, uh, Mr. Sean Justice?

Six, maybe seven months

Okay.

Has anything like this
ever happened before...

The broken lock

any unusual people around the property?

No. Never

Well, that's good enough for me

Uh, Epperson here will
get your information

and we'll call you
if we need anything

Excuse me one second

Do you think we should maybe
schedule a formal statement?

Epperson!

You kill me!

That's funny, that's really funny.

Penelope, a pleasure

How's this looking?

I just called Crime Scene

They are en route

but they got a little hung up, so

Yeah

Is there a "Law & Order"
marathon on cable tonight?

Here.

You know what?

I am a good detective for the record.

Epperson, all I know is

you've been pushin' pencils
your entire career.

Now they suddenly have you
riding shotgun in my car.

I don't give a shit
if you're a good detective

just don't try and change
the way I do things.

It looks like you got this
under control

I’ll go check out the bedroom

Now you're talking
like a good detective

Up yours, Burnout

There's nothing, Sean

Okay, come on

We're gonna work the walls, okay?

Work the walls

We shouldn't have done what
we did.

What do you mean?

I cheated on my husband with you,

now we're being punished

We're not being punished

Yes, we are

Why else would that psycho
have mentioned Jack's name?

He knows about us

No, there's no way.

Yes, he does.
How else would Jack be involved?

Come on, you're overreacting

I'm not overreacting!

He's gonna kill us for what
we did.

God, it was so stupid!

Don't say that

It was us...
It wasn't stupid

If anything, this is Jack's doing

Jack is not even capable
for something like this.

He is a good person

A good person?

Come on
What?

You can't... Take back the
things you told me about him

just because we're in this now

You two aren't even in
a marriage and you know it

Don't start blaming yourself
for this now.

I'm not blaming myself

So, so you're blaming me?

Are you blaming me?

I didn't say that

Shit!
Just, just, just stop

We have to breathe shallow

I'm sorry.

I'm just scared

Now this is what I want

Why haven't they call me?

Think, Jack

Would I put a phone in there

where they could make outgoing calls?

By now you should know me
much better than that.

That phone can only
receive phone calls.

I want to talk to her

And what are you gonna tell her?

That you're on your way?

That you're her knight
in shining armor?

Come on, man, you already
failed her in marriage.

What makes you think your voice
is gonna be any comfort to her?

I want to say I'm sorry.

You're already planning on failing.

God, it must be miserable
to be such a loser in life.

Just let me talk to her!
No!

The plan stands

You do as I say, or she dies,

plain and simple

Tick, tock, tick, tock

I would have called,
but you destroyed my phone

Then I guess you better
find a pay phone.

What'd you get?

Well, nothing to write home about

Uh, no keys, but the car was gone

so either he drove himself

or whoever broke in took the car.

I did find some receipts
on his dresser

from the last couple of days

Thursday, 46 on gas

Yeah

Um, looks like he dropped

It's not itemized, so we don't
know what he got.

Right, right

Uh, let's see what else we
got here

Dinner at Mambo's

Now this is interesting

He spent $180 at Mambo's

so unless he ordered,
like three bottles of wine

He had someone with him

Or someones

You know, it's probably nothing
but if you could find out,

by running his credit card
what he got,

I don't know, it might lead
to something.

I'm on it

Now this is interesting

Looks like he was quite enamored.

Hmm... Pretty girl

Yeah. Nice

It came with those

Hello!
Mmm-hmm

He can take pictures

That's my, uh, that's my favorite

Here we go.
Nice composition there

Wait a second

Why does she look familiar?

See, I was thinking the same thing.

I can't place it, though

She's on, uh, on TV or something?

Hey, hey.

That, uh, no, that commercial

Uh, Dave's Corn Chips

The one with the dog
and she's chasing him

Ran during football season

♪ You'll be sworn
Dave's Corn.. ♪

Right, right, right

Country Barbeque... Best ever

Um, same girl different hair.

Right.
It’s definitely her

Hmm

You know what?
Try to get her name

Talk to her and see what she knows.

Done

Okay.

Well, he was definitely grabbed
on the couch, I would say.

Knocked over the table
crushed the lamp...

Wine glass, yeah but then...

Doesn't make sense, does it?

Unless... There were two attacks

Either that, or maybe Sean Justice

wasn't taken from here at all

Maybe whoever did it
took him from somewhere else

and came back here

just to make it look like
they took him from here

Yeah, but why would they do that?

We've got to figure that out

Maybe you're not such
a burnout after all.

Cheers, Bud

On second thought

What's going on?

I can't talk here.
Let's just get inside

Come on

I'll tell you all about this
later on

I can't talk right now, all right?

You're gonna have to give me something

I know.
I could lose my job

I get it. I understand

I don't want you to lose your job.

Hey, I think I've got
something here.

What is it?

There's a knot in the wood here

but it's loose

Oh, my God

If I just keep chippin' away.

What about the sand?

One problem at a time, okay?

Okay.
All right

Hold on...
Where's my flashlight?

There it is. Okay.

Here we go

Oh, God, I need to make it bigger

If I could just get it in there
I could break the wood.

Burn it!

What?
Burn it.

Just use the lighter
and burn around the edges

If this thing catches fire
we'll burn alive

Just enough to get
the flashlight through

Come on, Sean!

Rona..
We are running out of time

Your headband

What?
Give me your headband

Okay.

Come on.
Oh, my God

There, see?
It's loose, it's loose

Look at that.
Oh, my God!

Okay.

Garrison, I can't talk about
it, okay?

I’m almost out of time

Whatever you can do
I appreciate it.

See what you can do

Jack, you're gonna have
to give me something.

We're friends,
but I can lose my job over this

I understand

I just need your help, okay?
I'm in a jam...

I promise to clear all this up.

Just tell me what you can do
for me, okay?

Okay.

He's gonna let me know
how much I can get.

Ten minutes

Stay here

I have to make a phone call

Is that your man?

How much can I get?

It's a process
with CDs that large, Jack

and it's after hours

I mean, if you hadn't burned out
your savings we could..

How much?

What is going on?

Please! How much?

550,000

But it's not gonna hit until morning.

I need it now, Garrison!

I can't! I can't!

My hands are tied

Give me a minute

Jack

He can get me $550,000 by morning

This is Jack's doing.

Looks like you're
running out of time, Jack

I can get you proof that
you'll have your funds.

Please, just tell me where
she is.

I've already told you, Jack

Once I have the money in my hands,

then I will tell you
where your wife is

and the man she's been
cheating on you with.

I'll be right back

I'll be right back.

What's going on?
Is there somebody in there?

Garrison, listen to me

I need that money,
and I need it right now

I can't.
I told you, I can't

Loan it to me!
What?

Loan me the money.
You know I'm good for it

I could have you apply for a loan,

but you know how long
that's gonna take.

No, you loan it to me.
I know you have the funds

You can withdraw the money,
you can give me the cash.

I'll give you the money back
when I cash out the CDs.

I'm not gonna do this
unless you tell me

what the hell is going on

I have a wife and a family.

I can't get mixed up in something.

I can't

But I need that money right now

How long have we known each other?

Oh, don't play that with me

All right

All right, I'll get you 500,000

But I have to have it back in
the morning

Thank you

How long?

Thirty minutes

Why don't you come inside...

No, no

I'll stay out here, okay?
I'll stay out here.

Just keep this quiet, okay?
It's very important.

I need to keep this quiet

Can you do something else for me?

I need to know who rented this
car with this matching number.

Can you do that for me?
I'm a banker.

Please? It's very important

All right, okay.

All right?
Fine, fine

Get back

He's gonna loan me $500,000.
I'm gonna pay him back tomorrow

You'll have your money
in thirty minutes.

Very good

What about the other 50?

What other 50?

You said I could get 550,000

I want the other 50

But I can't get it until tomorrow.

You never gave me a price.
You said whatever I could get

I know, but 550,000

sounds so much better than 500,000.

And now you have my heart
set on 550,000.

Trick
Yes?

Please!

It looks like you're gonna
have to find another 50,000

Thirty minutes?

Yeah

Let's get a drink

You really should have let us
in the house first, Scott.

Is that what they teach
you in science class, Pops?

You could have tainted the evidence

Not my first rodeo, nerds

All right, we've got
some information here

Uh, the lovely lady from
the pictures is Rona Samms

model-turned-actress

done a bunch of 'B' movies

the commercial thing

Uh, the waitress from Mambo’s
who was working Thursday night

uh, is supposed to be
in later this evening.

Now, I left my cellphone

She'll call

Hopefully we'll get lucky there

And then Sean Justice's work
said everything seemed normal

until a couple of days ago when
he didn't show up for work,

and no one's heard from him since

has not returned any phone calls.

What's next?

Well, I am going to
die of boredom here

I say we cruise on over to Rona Samms,

give her a talk, see what she knows

Please tell me you have an address

Right here

Perfect. Let's roll

See you later, Sweetheart

9-1-1...
Is this an emergency?

No, it's not an emergency,

but could you connect me with
the police department, please?

You didn't think I was gonna

wear that thing all night,
did you?

What are you drinking?

I'm not really in the mood

I said, what are you drinking?

Whiskey, rocks

Make it two

What's up, man?

Two whiskeys, rocks

You got it

Come on, come on!

Damn it. Okay, hold on
I got an idea.

What are you doing?
There we go.

All right, watch this

Oh.

Oh, my God!

Look!
Oh, my God

What is it?

Looks like, I can see the moon

Oh my God!
We're not buried deep

Oh, my God

We got air, Baby!

Oh, my God!

We've got air.
We can breathe

Oh, we got air

See how it's just a...
A little bit of sand on top?

We're not buried all the way down.

Oh, my God

Oh, we can breathe

So we can breathe
We can breathe.

We can breathe

Ha!
Screw you, buddy!

Screw you!

Oh.
Yeah

We can breathe

Sean..
Yeah?

I don't want to be here
when he gets back.

Me neither

To a successful business transaction

Where are you getting
my final 50,000 from?

I don't envy you, Jack

being stuck in a situation
like this

You put me in this situation

Correction, you put yourself
in this situation.

Never let issues between
A man and a woman fester

That's what my old man
used to tell me.

Of course that was after
my mother dumped him.

What's stopping me?
From telling these people

You’re holding me hostage?

Holding you hostage?

Don't go anywhere, hostage

We'll find a way out, okay?

I promise you,
we'll find a way out

Son of a bitch

Excuse me, buddy?
My name's Larry.

That's Larry.
Thanks.

I just saw you take one
of those pills and...

I'm not one of those drug heads

if that's what you're getting at!

That's not what I meant

I just wanted to see if I could
borrow some of those pills.

Why?

I’ve got a headache

These pills help you go to sleep.

I only take one because of
the booze

I thought it would help me relax

and sleep this headache off

Please?

Buy me a drink

What?
He said buy him a drink

I got it, man!

I'm Mitch

What are you drinkin'?

Bud

Bud for my friend

Thanks, Larry.

Hey, what the hell?

What?

The beer buys you two
sleeping pills,

not the whole bottle

How much for the whole bottle?

Those are pricey pills

But I've got a tab going

Put Larry's tab on this

I'm impressed
With what?

Most people try to run

You're playin' this smart, Jack

So you've done this
sort of thing before, huh?

I've been around

Yeah, okay, got it

Yeah, we know the place
We're headed there now

Okay, thanks

Shit's goin' down, Epperson

Yeah?
Yeah.

Guy from the bank just called in,

said he got a request
for a lot of money

to be taken out tonight

The guy was also
suspicious and spooked

The guy's name... Jack Samms

Rona Samms husband?

Sounds like it

So then Samms asked him to
look up who rented a rental car

Here's the number

Let me guess... You want me
to call the rental car company.

I drive, you make the calls
that was the deal.

You hear that?

What?

Is that water?

Oh, my God!

Are we in water?

I think it's the ocean

Oh, my God, oh, my God

Hey, hey!

No, no, no, no.
It’s okay, it's okay.

You know, the sand, right?

He's probably buried us near
the shoreline or something.

We're not in the water, okay?

Okay.
It’s okay, Baby.

But I can hear the water

Shh... It's okay.

It's okay.

We'll be fine

I'm already drunk!
Should I do this?

I'm making a fool of myself/

Mmm, I love drunk women

Because they don't realize

you're trying to disguise yourself

Which begs the question, Trick

Why the disguise?

If you really thought this
out so well

why not show me who you
really are?

There are rules

But the rules just changed
didn't they, Trick?

I saw the video

They're not underground

I saw the light coming
through the roof

which means they can breathe

which means you don't have
dick to stand on!

Okay.

Maybe they will, uh,
live past the deadline

but I'm still the only one

who knows exactly where they are.

You're willing to wait me out, Jack?

You boys feel like dancing?

Actually, we're kind of in the
middle of something right now

I'm Camille

And this other hot chick is Heather.

Come on...
You know you want to

Ladies, I'm
No.

Dance with them

No, no! Wait!

Dance with them

Come on
No!

I'm gonna turn you on

like you've never been
turned on before.

Who knows
Fine.

You might even like it

I'll go get another for you

Okay.

You're sexy.

Are you married?

We're fine, we're fine
It's just water.

Sean! What?

No, no, no.
We're okay, we're okay.

It's not gonna fill up

Help us!

No one can hear us!

We don't know!
We're not underground!

We have to try.

Well, he wouldn't bury us
where someone could find us

We don't know!

Help us! Help us!

Help! Help!

Anyone! Help us!

Help!

Help us!

He asked me if I could
loan him 500,000, and I agreed

He said he'd pay me back with, uh

his CDs that he'd
cash out in the morning

So he's coming back
for the money soon?

Yeah, he'll be back in a few minutes.

Mr. Garrison, how much
money exactly can he cash out?

Well, he has a few hundred
thousand in the CDs.

I mean, some of his
investments went south

but, you know, I'm really
not at liberty to say.

Mr. Garrison, I can come
back in here with a warrant

and do a can opener on your computer.

This is a minor detail
in a preliminary investigation

What harm could it do

to tell us how much cash
he has access to?

He has, uh, 550,000
and some change in his CD

Uh-oh... It looks like
they're having drinks

Drinks?

Yeah, the credit card it's just...

His credit card, Mr. Garrison?

Uh, you know

Mr. Garrison, you're really
starting to piss me off.

Somebody just ran their
credit card.

It's at Casa Cabral

It's about five minutes from here.

I know right where that is

Is this your cell number?

Yeah

What should I do with the money?

We'll call you

Damn it, the water's
still comin' in.

Oh, my God

How much longer
can this go on, Sean?

We will drown!
No, we will not!

We'll take turns plugging the hole

It's still coming in

It's coming in through the cracks

It is coming in!

Oh, my God!
Help us!

Do you have a car here?

I need some help over here!

Camille?

Oh, my God, Camille!
Are you okay?

Camille, wake up, Honey.

What did you do?

Camille? Camille!

She just had too much to drink

Did she drink that stuff
you put in that drink?

Mitch, you've had
too much to drink yourself

Let's go

Did you 'Spike' her drink?

What the hell, man?

Call her an ambulance

Dude, this is my bar

If you put something
in that girl's drink,

I'm calling more than an ambulance

No, I saw him

He smashed up all of Larry's pills

and put them in that drink.

You are sick!

Mitch! Call the cops

Don't!
Do it, Mitch!

Everybody.

Everybody stay cool

No one's callin' the cops

Hey, man, relax, all right?

You don't want to hurt her

Everybody on the floor

Now!

You too, Larry.

Looks like Sean Justice
is blackmailing the Samms

or working with them.
But what?

That's what we're gonna find out

Not a good idea, Jack.
You're running out of time

They have air, you son of a bitch!

Oh, thank God
No! Down!

Behind the bar?

No. wait

I saw it on the camera
when you were on the phone

I'll take my chances with the cops...

Air is not their problem!

The whole time you were
trying to drug me in the bar

your poor wife was trying
to keep her head above water

Bad boy, Jack, bad boy!

Your name?
Pete.

Anyone else here?

There were two guys that just left.

One had a laptop

Did you run a credit card on one?

She's breathing

All right, people!

Did they say where they were going?

He also put a fork
to this lady's throat

and said he'd kill her
if we tried to stop him

Stop him from what?
Leaving.

I was gonna call the cops
The guy freaked out.

He put some pills
in the hot chicks' drinks

I saw him

She has a really weak pulse

but she's gonna be okay.

We have to get her to a hospital.

In the meantime we have to
induce vomiting

I'll let you handle that

This is about to get really messy.

All right, everyone sit tight

Help's on the way.

You're leaving?
Where are you going?

This is Detective Epperson
I need medical assistance...

Garrison, we're coming back
to you.

What do I do?
He's coming back for the money.

Get him the money but stall him.

We’re on our way.

What's... Goin' on here?

You mind switchin' places
for a second?

Okay.

All right, there you go
Take the flashlight.

Okay.
Leave it there a second

It's still coming in.
I know. We can slow it down!

Help us!

Help!

Help us!

Come on!

Here, Babe.
Maybe if we both try.

Oh, no

Come on

I know the water's
gonna keep comin' in

It's okay...
We have to try. Come on!

Okay. Once.
Yes, just once

You've got to turn around

and put your back
up against the top.

Push off with your arms
and legs, okay?

Go, go, go, go!

2, 3, go, go

Come on! God!

I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.

It's not your fault

Yeah, I don't know what
what else to try.

It's just gonna keep comin' in

Don't say it!
Don't you give up on me, Sean!

Don't give up on us
Don't give up.

I got it. I got it

Oh, dear God

I'll be right back

Where is it?

Oh!
Where is it?

What?
The money!

You know what.
Where is it?

I'm cashing it out now

I need the money!

This is as fast as it goes
It's a process...

The police are on their way.

What did you do?
I had to tell them, Jack

Obviously you're in
some sort of trouble

You come here asking for money.

I said no police!
They can help you!

What can I do?

You can help me by getting
the money.

I need it now!

I need the money!

All right

I'll meet you in the parking lot

three minutes.
I'll be there.

You look stressed, Jack

The cops are on their way.

What have I said about cops?

My banker called them.
I didn't tell him anything

You're losing control
of this thing, padre!

Put that thing away!

I've done everything you've asked!

I've played by the rules!

What would you have done
if you had drugged me, Jack?

You never would have
found them on your own!

I'll be right back

All there?

Thanks

I'll explain everything later
I promise.

Let's go

Look, it's my money!

Whatever is going on
I'm coming with you!

Garrison, you're crazy!

What are you doing here?
Get out of here!

What is this guy doin' in this car?

Hey

Do you remember when we first met?

I hated you

I remember thinking

Lady Luck must be smiling
down on me

because why else would a
women like you

hang out with a joker like me

Are you afraid to die?

I thought I would be

Me too

I don't know, I just didn't
feel 'On' tonight at all...

You did pretty good

I just think you need
to do a better job

finding your moments
Okay.

Hey. Great job
Hey, thanks.

Catch a drink next week?
Will do.

See you guys
Bye.

Great work tonight
Good night.

See you guys next week
Next week.

You guys, um, stickin' around?

Can you lock up for me?

Uh, we can, we can lock up

Great job tonight. Thanks

So, I just realized we've, uh
Never done it in the studio.

We haven't.
You realize that?

Hmm?

Oh, hey! What's up?

I didn't know you were there

Uh, I'll walk you to your car.

Yeah. Thanks

Say that name again

You're certain?

No, I'm gonna call you back
In ten minutes. Thank you.

I guess he met him
off-site with the money.

They couldn't have gone too far.

No, his car's still here

I just got off the phone
with the rental car company

that Samms mentioned to Garrison

Guess whose name is on the,
uh, rental?

What?

You want me to say it?

Who?
Sean Justice

When?

Yesterday morning

What the hell's goin' on here, Epperson?

I can't figure it out

Maybe somebody nabbed Justice
then stole the car,

or they stole the credit card
rented the car.

That doesn't make any sense

The database shows that Sean Justice

has a car in his name,
so why would he need a rental?

You talked to his work?

Did

Uh, office drone

Well liked, never caused problems

They said he is, uh an actor,

takes acting classes at night

Which classes?

I don't know. I'll find out
Do it.

Get out!
Jack, do not slow down!

What?
Get out, now!

I promise you at the count of
three I will pull this trigger!

Do as he says, Garrison!

How do I get out?
Get out of the car, Garrison!

He's got a gun pointed at
your head! Go!

Get out of the car!

Shoot

Garrison's not answering

Get out of the car!
I told you!

Get out!

What are you doing, Jack?

Get out! Get out!

Jack!

Garrison, stay away!

I'm sorry!

Hello?
Garrison, Scott

Oh! Thank God!

Yeah, I was just
thrown out of the car

I was almost killed

Are they still in sight?

Jack pushed the guy
with the gun out of the car

and then he took off
He left me here.

Is the gunman still there?

Yeah, uh, he's still here

Jack clocked him

He's just, not moving
It's like...

What's your twenty?
We're gonna come to you

What's a twenty?

Yes, Garrison, your location,
your twenty.

Uh, I think it's around

We'll be right there

Oh, shit. Oh, shit

Hey, it's me

No, no, wait. Stop!

Something went wrong

No, look, he's got the money.
He's got my car.

He's got my cell,
he's got everything!

I don't know!
It just happened, all right?

We'll fix this!

Come on, gentle, My Lord

Sleek o'er your rugged looks

Be bright and jovial
among your guests tonight

So shall I, love

and so I pray, be you

Let your remembrance apply to Banquo.

Present him eminence,
both with eye and tongue

Unsafe the while

that we must leave our honors
In these pleasant streams...

And make our faces
towards to our hearts

disguising what they are

You must leave this

Good job

Excellent!

That is exactly what
we've been working towards

You have to play the unraveling
of the individual characters,

yet you have a responsibility
to work together

to bring their love to life

Breathe life into it

Wonderful. Excellent

Hello.

This is Jack Samms
Who is this?

Mr. Samms, hi.
My name is Sean

Where is my wife?

Is she there?
Let me talk to her

Hold on
Jack!

Rona! Where are you?

Help us!
We're running out of time

Jack, there's water everywhere
and we can't stop it.

Did you get the money he wants?

I have the money,
but I got away from him

Help!

Jack, give him the money.
He knows where we are!

Rona, Sweetheart
Think.

What's around?
What do you remember?

There's water everywhere!
I'm gonna drown!

Jack, listen, okay?
He buried us near the ocean

He buried us in the sand,
and we're in a wooden box

Punched a hole in the top of it.

I know, I saw it

I saw it on the video in the computer.

How much time do we have?

I don't know.
Maybe minutes

Just give him the money okay?
I'll pay you back.

Whatever it takes

It's too late...
We're running out of time

What do you remember?

I don't know.

He drugged us, I think.
We were at my place

This box, it's big

It's got to be somewhere
where people can't find it

Just give him the money!

I told you, we're out of time

I'm on my way to the beach

Stay on the phone

Just give him the money!

Uhhh

Where'd he go?

Look, pal I have had a bad day

I have been punched in my face

so you just

Listen, you finish that sentence,

I'll leave your ass right here
with a brand new ass-kicking

Which way did he go?

Uh, down a side alley, there

He has my cellphone

All right, all right
Settle down.

Did you get a good look at him?

Well, he was wearing...
Sunglasses and a hood

The son of a bitch
is wearing a disguise

How long ago we talking?

Five, ten minutes

Cell phone trace

There we go, Epperson,
that's good detective work

Last number called in
get a trace on it.

Let's find this asshole

find out what the hell
is going on!

He's got my cellphone

We'll take it from here

What about me?

What?

You want a ride back to the bank?

Yeah.
I don't think so

Bus stop, two blocks up

Huh?

I kind of agree with him

So, you think the phone's dead?

Come on, gentle, My Lord

Sleek o'er your rugged looks

Be bright and jovial
among your guests tonight

So shall I, love

And so I pray.

Pick up, pick up, pick up!

Come on! Pick up!

Please!

Let your remembrance apply to Banquo.

Present him eminence,
both with eye and tongue

Unsafe the while

that we must

that we must leave our honors
in these pleasant streams,

and make our faces
towards to our hearts

disguising what they are

You must leave this

I think both of you are ready.

Ready for what?

I have an idea for the
ultimate performance

one that will serve
a valuable purpose

a purpose for your... Situation

What situation?

Maybe I shouldn't say situation

It's more like your position

Yes, you see, I know that
you two have been doing...

For lack of better words
adult things.

Yet one of you is married...
To a man with money, correct?

And I think both of you
are fantastic at pretending

So just think of this as an exercise

with the highest of stakes

yet at the finish line

we stand to make a bit of money.

Who's up for a little fun?

Guys, it will be
the performance of a lifetime

plus you will get what you want.

We can disappear together

The pre-nup will give you
nothing if you leave him.

We could use the money to get started.

If your husband is the
business man you say he is

he'll pay.

I'm confident he'll pay.

You'll be perfectly safe
the entire time.

I will be in control of the situation.

I write the script

We rehearse it perfectly.

What do you say?

Hey Jack

By now you realize what has happened

I'm not a killer

and this is nothing personal

I see opportunities
and I take them.

Your wife, she wanted another life,

and I could sense that

It took some convincing,
I have to admit,

but once Sean was on board

he was very helpful in getting
Rona to go along with it.

She's doing well, Jack, so if
you have any love for her...

Well, then that should
make you happy.

The money's getting her
started in her new life,

and I did take
a little fee for my services

Hey it was all a performance, Jack,

and you played your part well.

I'm proud of you for that

You almost broke my nose

but I won't hold it against you

I did put you in a situation
and you responded.

You see, that's what I do, man

I put people in situations

Good bye, Jack

It was nice knowing you for a day.

But I called them

I talked to her

There was water

All an act

Hold on

Jack

Your wife, Sean Justice

Jack, they were waiting
for your call.

We're assuming they knew
the timing of the whole deal

just in case that phone rang

But the video?

Timed perfectly.

This guy is

He's a... Real pro

We did some digging

He's done this sort of thing before

Chicago, Atlanta, Milwaukee

All different cons
with his signature on it

He profiles people
in Sean and Rona's situation

And Rona went along with it

Just give him the money!

Jack, I know that's tough to hear

The marriage was already over

The upside is that Mr. Garrison

expressed that he
will not press charges

Jack, here's what we've done

We put an APB out
on your wife and Sean Justice

Here's what we're assuming

They're on the road, okay?

They've got to be using fake names

fake IDs, the whole deal

Listen to me

We will get them, Jack

So, the ringmaster?

Who knows?

Thanks

We'll be in touch

Thank you, Mr. Samms

So that's that, right?

Why not?

Or maybe I could pay it back

That's true.
That's a good point

Hello, Rona

Have a seat

Or should I say Candace Burnett

Jack

Listen

Don't worry.

This isn't about the money.

This is about putting two people
in a certain situation

to see how they react

Isn’t that right, Sean?

Oh, I'm sorry... Mark

Jack, this wasn't...
Wasn't our idea, okay?

It was an experiment

That's all it was, you know?

It was acting

You guys, your marriage
was over, you know?

Rona needed the money

You think this is all
making me feel better?

Or even feel sorry for you?

How did you find us?

I made some friends

Guys that wanted to find you too.

Let me get to the point because
the clock is already ticking.

In one minute,
I'm going to make a phone call

The person on the other end
of the line...

Is going to beg you
to save his life.

If you save his life,
you in turn save yours

If you don't make it
to him in time,

you will be blamed for his murder.

I've already planted the evidence

Except this time...
It's real evidence

The guys I'm working with
will gladly hold it against you

along with your other charges,
of course

Jack, please

Why should we believe you?

I guess you just have
to take your chances.

Tick, tock, tick, tock
tick, tock, tick, tock...

No! No! No! No! No!

No! No! No! No! No!
