Runaway (2014) - full transcript
After living in hiding for 17 years, a woman faces new danger when her daughter's drug-dealing father locates them and expects her to repay the money she stole from him years earlier.
Nice.
Broker's name
is Tammy Parker.-
Number two in the area.
Recently divorced.
Hello.
Wait here.
Caught me.
I was just sweeping up.
It's beautiful out here.
Isn't it?
Yeah.
And this yard is huge
for this neighborhood.
Can I ask you
to sign in, please?
Of course.
Yeah.
It's a great house...
Tammy.
Thank you.
I'm Rick.
Nice to meet you, Rick.
Pleasure.
Yeah.
It's 4,000 square feet.
Yeah?
Four bedrooms,
four baths.
I'm sure your wife
would love it.
Yeah, I'm sure she would.
We're separated.
I'm sorry.
No. Don't be.
Happens to the best of us.
Yes, it does.
But we still have
to move on, right?
Right. And stay positive.
Right.
It would be good to have
new blood in the neighborhood.
We have some great restaurants.
Well, maybe you'd
let me buy you lunch...
in one of those
great restaurants.
Maybe I would.
You know, I-I have
to tell you something.
I totally understand
why Lisa loved this place
so much.
Lisa?
Yeah, Lisa Sullivan.
Yeah, previous owner.
She's--
That's Mary.
Right, and Lisa
was her middle name.
I haven't seen Mary
in a couple of years.
She just up and left.
Yeah.
That buyer got
a great deal on this house.
I've been trying
to reconnect with her, but--
She likes her privacy?
Yeah, she does.
You wouldn't happen to know
where she went, would you?
I couldn't say.
Come on, Tammy.
I bet you could.
Please! I don't know
where she is!
I swear to God
I don't know.
This looks so good.
Thank you.
Hold on a second.
A toast first.
Come on, Mom.
It's no big deal.
It is a big deal.
You won a college scholarship.
Yeah, to a small school
that I don't even
wanna go to.
Just raise your glass
and say, "Thank you," Abby.
Thank you, Abby.
A toast
to my favorite daughter--
Your only daughter, but--
on her wonderful accomplishment.
Cheers.
Cheers.
I still wanna go
to a local school though.
Why?
Well, so I can be close
to you, obviously.-
Sure.
No phones at the table.
You really need to move
into the 21st century.
No phones at the table.
That's the rule.
You're a Luddite,
you know that?
What? I'm a what?
A Luddite.
It's someone
who hates technology.
I don't hate technology.
Well, you hate it
when I go online.
I don't want you in chat rooms.
I don't go into
chat rooms, Mother.
And besides, you've got us
surrounded by so many firewalls,
I couldn't
even if I wanted to.
You're just better off
having real friends.
And you refuse
to get a laptop.
My desktop is fine.
Or a Web site
for Rockin' Kids.
I don't need one.
Rockin' Kids is doing great.
I just hired someone
for the weekends.
You did?
So you don't need me to come in
and work Sundays anymore, right?
I didn't say that.
Well, I mean,
if you just hired somebody.
It's nice having you around.
Okay, okay.
Good morning.
Good morning.
What is all this?
Having
a kids' party today.
Well, is that it?
Yeah.
Hello.
Hi.
So... you of course know
what today is, right?
Father's Day.
Yeah.
But it's also
something else.
I give up.
It's our second year
anniversary.
No, it's not.
Well, from the first time
I saw you.
For a cop,
you're such a sap.
Well, what?
I can't help it.
I love you.
Stop it.
So dinner tonight?
I'm cooking my specialty.
You have a specialty?
Now that hurts me.
Yes. Steak, salad,
ice cream for dessert,
Okay. That sounds good.
I'll bring some wine.
Perfect.
All right.
See you tonight.
Okay. Bye.
Hi, Miranda.
Hi, Julie.
You all set
for the Butler party?
Twenty two-year-olds
at noon.
That's right.
You might want to have
extra diapers and wipes.
They tend to have
a lot of accidents
at that age.
Do I get hazard pay
for changing diapers?
No one expects you
to change diapers.
But you will get
big tips if you do.
Well, I better.
And they'll need drinks
and a snack.
Hide the sugar
if you don't want them
bouncing off the walls.
Check.
I got carrots and pretzels,
party plates, party hats...
and sporks.
Great. Mrs. Butler
will stop by later
with the cake.
Hi, girls.
Hi, Paige.
We're just going over
everything for your party.
You are so on it.
We try to be.
Do you want the kids to have
water or apple juice?
Low-sugar juice is fine.
Wow. It looks awesome.
Now all that's missing is Valium
and a couple of bottles
of chardonnay for the moms.
Yeah.
We don't supply that.
Well, you should think about it.
I don't know any mom
in this neighborhood...
who doesn't need
a little something
to take the edge off.
I don't.
You know I love you,
but you are looking ragged,
Miranda.
Is that cop of yours
keeping you up at night?
No.
I take a Ritalin
with a wheat grass chaser...
right before
Frank and I get busy.
It is like rocket fuel.
Wow.
Yeah, I haven't heard that.
Here.
You should try--
No.
I'm-I'm okay.
Thank you.
Little miss perfect.
I'll see you gals at the party.
Bye.
Bye.
Ritalin with
a wheat grass chaser?
It's gonna be a long day.
Have a Valium.
- Hey, Dad.
- There she is.
Hi.
Come here
and give me a big sm--
Hey.
Come on and sit down, darling.
Okay.
I know
you don't like apples,
but you need to eat
your fruits and veggies.
Nag, nag, nag.
Your worse than your mother,
God rest her soul.
Hey, Lisa.
- Hi.
- Good morning, Patrick.
Good morning, darling.
I'll see you after lunch.
Bath time?
I'm looking forward to it.
You're a bad man,
Mr. Sullivan.
That's why you love me, Wanda.
Really?
It's her fault.
She keeps trying to push
Viagra down my throat.
Dad, stop it.
You do need to improve
your diet though.
I'm not worried
about my figure, girl.
Those quacks gave me
nine months to live.
What I need is a...
shot of Bushmills.
That's what I need.
Whiskey.
Irish whiskey.
Better than the pills
they give you here.
Well, it is Father's Day.
You didn't.
And I do love you.
You're a beauty.
And my favorite daughter.
I'm your only daughter.
Cheers.
How's Abby?
Good. Great.
She's doing well.
She's smarter than both of us,
that one.
Yeah.
I wish you
could meet her.
Me too.
But it's not safe.
It was bad enough
you coming back home.
That was not in the plan.
Well, you getting liver cancer
wasn't part of the plan.
Are you using the software
I sent you?
Yeah. Every day.
That's good.
I've missed you.
I missed you.
Okay, ready?
Another one.
Okay, okay.
My gosh.
I look like a pig.
That's so funny.
Hi.
Hey, Mom.
Um, can we give
Josie a ride?
Is that okay?
Yeah, sure.
Hop in.
Thanks, Miranda.
Thank you, Miranda.
You're the best.
My step-monster totally spaced.
It's probably for the best.
Ten bucks says
that she's totally wasted.
Josie, that's not true.
Have you seen her lately?
I think your mom's dealing
with a lot of issues.
Madison is a my step-mom,
not my mom.
And I wouldn't say
that a botched boob job
counts as a real issue.
There's people starving
in Africa.
Yes. That is true.
But it doesn't mean
that Madison's not in pain.
Okay, really, Mom?
How did you get
the perfect mom?
I'm not perfect.
Ask Abby.
Yeah, well, it's true.
Remem-- Remember that time that
she, like, tried to Photoshop me
out of the yearbook?
Yeah, that was pretty weird.
Yeah.
Okay, yeah.
That makes me feel
a little better.
Laters.
Bye.
I'll see you later.
Is that true?
Do you think I'm a freak?
No, Mother.
I mean, you are kind of crazy
about all the privacy stuff.
But it's okay.
I still love you.
You're still the best.
Okay. Good.
All right.
Dinner is served.
Wow. Golly,
it looks delicious.
Wow, it does.
Only the best
for my girls.
Abby, no phones
at the table.
Mom, you gotta see this.
After dinner.
No. Josie nominated you
for Super Mom.
What?
That's crazy.
- You are a super mom.
- True.
But I think
she probably just posted it
to annoy her step-monster.
She posted it?
Where?
Just online.
She posted it online?
Yeah. It's really cute.
Look.
Where did she get
that photo?
I don't know.
Abby, you need to tell her
to take it down.
Okay, Mom, chill.
Now.
All right.
I'll do it after dinner though
'cause I'm starving.
Abby, you need to tell Josie
to take it down now.
- Miranda, it's just a photo.
- Please, stay out of this.
It's a privacy issue.
Did I give her permission
to post it? Did I?
No, Mom. I'm sorry.
I thought it was cute.
You knew?
God, I'm sorry I can't
be perfect like you, Mom.
Abby--
Damn it.
Wow. I've never seen
you two fight before.
It's kinda scary.
Why would she let Josie
post our photos online?
'Cause she's proud of you.
Nothing wrong with that.
Miranda, it's just a photo.
And you gotta cut her
some slack.
- Rick.
- What's up?
Photo recognition gave us a hit.
What are you talking about?
They took the photo down,
but I got a screenshot
before it disappeared.
Screenshot of what?
Hello, Miranda Baker--
"Super mom."
Tennis team's
playing well this year.
Coach says they're definitely
going to regionals this year.
I don't doubt that.
Abby's got a--
quite a backhand there.
Yeah. She does.
She's worked hard on it.
Yeah, I know.
Scholarship to Penn--
very impressive.
I don't think we've met.
You have a kid on the team?
Abby seems like a great kid.
It's a credit
to you, Lisa.
Really.
It's Miranda.
You know, today's day and age,
teenagers, they're just
out of control.
But to have one that's
so mature and thoughtful,
that says a lot about you
as a mother,Lisa.
I'm sorry.
Who are you?
I work for an old friend
of yours.
He just wanted me
to stop by, say hello.
I think you have me confused
with someone else.
We'll see you soon,Lisa.
So do you want one
or two braids?
Two's good.
Okay.
Just do two.
You know,
I've been thinking.
What?
Do you think we're
outgrowing this house?
I mean, it's
the same neighborhood,
the same people for years.
Maybe we need
a change of scenery.
Outgrowing the house?
Mom, we've moved every two years
since I can remember.
And then every two years
I have to go through
making new friends again,
and I don't wanna
do that anymore.
That's the whole reason
I wanna go to a local school
with my friends.
I love it here, Mom.
Well, I-I understand that.
But, you know,
we've gotten a lot of equity
out of this house.
- We can afford to up-size.
- Okay, Mom, what about Jason?
He loves you.
I know, but--
But nothing.
We're staying.
Okay.
And, Mom, the next time
that we do move, it's probably
not gonna be to up-size, okay?
You gotta face the fact
that I'm going to college
in the fall.
That's okay.
I can go to college
and be your roommate.
Yeah. That'd be great.
We're not open yet.
How long's it been?
Seventeen years?
Does that sound about right?
Something like that.
Seventeen years, two months,
four days.
I've missed you, Lisa.
I really have.
You didn't come
to my funeral.
Come on.
You didn't think
I was really gonna fall...
for your dad's
little charade, did you?
Gotta hand it
to you though, Lisa.
I didn't think it was gonna take
so long to find you.
Must have been hard
to stay off the grid?
It wasn't easy.
Yeah.
You ever thought
about your wedding vows?
For better or worse,
in sickness, in health,
till death do us part.
Any of that ring a bell?
No, it doesn't,
because you got me drunk
before the ceremony.
I thought about you every day
since you ran out on me.
Something inside
told me you were alive.
And then of course there was
the hundred thousand
you stole from me.
I shouldn't have taken that.
I-I-I-I panicked.
Panicked, yeah.
That's your excuse?
I have to say, Lisa,
I'm impressed with you.
I really am.
I mean, I--
I've been looking for you
for the last 17 years,
and here you are
right under my nose.
Yeah. I'm looking
at a business.
A house.
Fancy neighborhood.
Beautiful little girl.
You tell your people
to stay away from my daughter.
You mean, our daughter?
She is not your daughter, Rick,
and she never will be.
I don't wanna hurt her, Lisa.
I want what's best for her.
I'll call the cops.
Yeah, we know all about
Detective Jason Lansing.
A real straight-arrow
kind of guy.
Imagine how he's gonna feel
when he finds out who you
really are and what you've done.
What do you want, Rick?
Down to business.
I love it.
All right.
I want you back in my life.
That's not gonna happen.
You wanna take it slow?
I understand that.
Let's talk about my money first.
I don't have your money.
All my cash is tied up
in this business.
I'll put you on a payment plan.
Ten grand a week.
Settle up in no time.
No, it's too much.
Not if you sell for me.
Sell what?
Drugs.
You do still like drugs,
don't you, Lisa?
I'm not that person anymore.
Okay. All right.
So maybe you're clean.
But your perfect little friends
and neighbors aren't.
Ritalin to pick 'em up,
Ambien to take 'em down.
Percocet and Vicodin
to dull the pain.
Xanax to dull the shame.
It's gonna be fun, Lisa.
Just like old times.
How long do I have to sell
for you?
Just till you pay me back.
You take tonight
to think things through.
What's up with you?
I hate it when my step-monster
comes to watch me play.
It's so embarrassing.
Josie is so cute.
She hates me.
She doesn't hate you.
She wants to kill me
in my sleep.
Hey, Abby.
Killed it.
Naughty, naughty.
That is not the recycling.
Well, they don't
have one here.
It's ridiculous.
I think there's one
around back... somewhere.
You need to relax.
You need to relax.
Here. Have some candy.
Maddy, I don't wanna take
your last Xanax.
Don't worry about it.
I go through so many of them,
my family doctor
finally cut me off.
I had to get my husband
to go in...
and ask for a prescription
for himself.
Me too.
Doctors are so snotty
these days. What is that?
Hi, Miranda.
- Hi, ladies.
- Hey.
Abby, we have to go.
I'm gonna go.
See ya later.
Um, I'll go get it.
Yeah, make sure you check
and see who it is
before you unlock the door.
Okay.
Hi, Jason. Hey.
How are ya?
Good.
You guys are finally
locking your doors?
Yeah.
Mom's worried about burglars.
You know, I know it's
the safest neighborhood in town,
but still,
you can't be too careful.
Hey.
Hi, Jason.
- How was your day?
- Don't ask.
That bad?
It's not a big deal.
Just a big kids' party,
and some of the moms
were outta control.
Okay.
That used to be potatoes.
Hey.
You know what
bad days deserve?
Bad days deserve takeout.
Chinese?
Chicken chow mein
sounds awesome.
Chinese?
Yeah. Sounds good.
All right.
I wish your mother
could see you now.
She'd be so proud of you
and Abby.
She'd be proud of Abby,
but Mom and I
didn't exactly get along.
You-You two were too similar.
Pigheaded, the both of you.
I never really thanked you.
For what?
For rescuing me from Rick.
For saving me.
I would do anything
for you, honey.
You know that.
I was such a screw-up.
You were just a kid.
Abby and I wouldn't have lasted
a year without you.
It's not over yet.
- Talk to me.
- Hey. Yeah, I followed her this
morning just like you asked.
She went to a nursing home
in Eastside,
picked up some old guy
and brought him to a cemetery.
That's Patrick, her father.
Yeah. Should've known
she'd come to see him.
- Well, what do you want me
to do now?
- You have her number, right?
Yeah. Yeah, of course.
Send it to me.
I'll take care of things
from here.
Rick isn't
a street dealer anymore.
He's in bed
with the Mexican cartel.
He's got money
to spread around.
He's got cops
on the payroll.
Cops?
Judges too.
I'm gonna get this.
It might be Abby.
Hello?
So... you stayed in touch
with your old man?
Well, that's nice.
Haven't seen him in years.
He keeps to himself, Rick.
If you're, thinking
about buying a new identity,
you know,
or maybe running out
on me again,
well, I'll find out about it.
I'm not going to run.
That's good news.
'Cause right now,
you're the only one
I'm concerned about.
Course, if you were
to disappear,
I might have to take things
out on your father.
Don't threaten my family.
Just tell me what you want.
You know what I want.
I'm gonna be watching you.
Wherever you go.
Miranda. Hey,
come over here a minute.
Hey, Jason.
I can't really stay long.
I've had a crazy day.
Hi.
Hi.
I was just, talking
with your neighbor, Miranda.
Yeah, you didn't tell me
you had a friend move in
to the neighborhood.
You're right. I didn't.
It's just been crazy.
Jason's a police detective.
Yeah, yeah, I know.
I just made a small donation
to the Widows and Orphans Fund.
Well, there was
nothing small about it.
It was hugely generous.
We really appreciate it.
My pleasure, my pleasure.
I mean you guys are tops
in my book,
and you're being here,
it's perfect.
It's nice to know that there's
a policeman in the neighborhood
to keep Miranda safe.
Yes, it is.
Very nice.
Yeah.
You don't mind
if I steal Miranda away
for a moment, do you?
No.
Hey, of course.
Nice to meet you.
Good to meet you too.
What are you doing
at my house?
I just wanna make sure
you understand...
that I can collapse
your tidy little world
at any time I want.
I already knew that.
Would you prefer
that I call you Lisa
or Miranda?
You can call me
whatever you want.
You're working real hard
to make this unpleasant,
aren't you?
I'm not going to pretend
we're friends.
Legally, we're still
married, you know.
That doesn't mean we're friends.
You're a parasite,
a drug dealer.
Let's not get
self-righteous here.
You stole from me.
And I'm going to pay you back.
Every penny.
Yeah, that's right.
You will.
I'll see you real soon.
Mom, are you okay?
God, you scared me.
You've been acting really weird
the past couple days.
It's--
I'm just stressed
about work stuff.
Are you hiding something
from me?
No, of course not.
Did you get a new boyfriend?
Did something happen with Jason?
No. This has nothing
to do with Jason.
I really hope not.
I'm just going through
some things right now
that I can't talk about.
Grown-up things.
Come on.
I'm nearly 18 years old.
I know, but I can't talk to you
about it until I figure it out,
okay?
No.
It's not okay.
You're the one that said
that we don't keep secrets
from each other.
I promise
I will tell you tomorrow.
Just give me till tomorrow.
Okay. Just--
Okay.
You know I love you, right?
I love you too.
Abby, come on.
We're gonna be late.
I'm right here, Mom.
Yes, hi.
Shawn Daniels, please.
Yes, the loan department.
Thank you.
Yes, hi, Shawn.
It's Miranda.
Hi.
Hi. I'm good.
Yes.
She's great.
Yeah, she's going
to college soon.
Rockin' Kids is great.
I'm actually thinking of,
starting a franchise
which is why I'm calling.
I have equity in my house,
and, um, I was wondering
if I could get a business loan.
Sixty thousand.
Down there, waiting for you.
I don't usually like coming out
to the suburbs, but...
for you--
What's the big emergency?
I have your money.
Ten grand?
One hundred grand.
You never fail to surprise me.
Count it.
It's all there.
I believe you.
Thank you.
So that's it?
We're even?
Even?
Not even close.
That's the money
I owe you.
That's the money
you stole from me.
Let's pretend for a moment
that you didn't steal it.
Let's just say
that you borrowed it.
The vig on the street's
10% a week.
So 10% times
a hundred thousand
is 10,000.
Now multiply that times 52.
And then multiply that times
the number of years it was...
which was 17.
You get $8,840,000...
minus the hundred grand
that you just gave me.
It is $8,740,000
is what you still owe me.
That's more than fair.
You did steal from me.
Course, um,
I could forgive your debt.
In exchange for what?
I spent my life
working day and night.
I never remarried.
Didn't have time for a family.
Now you're back in my life,
and not just you.
My daughter.
Abby's not your daughter.
I took you in when her--
her junkie father left you.
I'm the only father
she ever had.
She doesn't even
remember you.
I never stopped
loving you, Lisa.
Because of that,
I can cut you some slack.
Now I know
you didn't want your daughter
brought up around crime.
I understand that.
I don't like it,
but I can forgive you.
Abby is not your daughter.
Not my blood, no, but--
I've been watching her.
She's beautiful.
She's the daughter
I always wanted.
I will sell drugs for you.
Do whatever it is
you want me to do.
Do not drag her into this.
Okay. I won't push it.
You'll come around.
I can be quite persuasive
when I wanna be.
You're gonna tell your neighbors
that Mark is a drug rep...
and he needs
a little extra cash.
He's gonna drop the product off
at Rockin' Kids.
Couldn't be
a more perfect cover.
Couldn't be better.
Can I go now?
Yeah. Yeah, of course.
See you next week.
Don't forget
to bring me my money.
You want me
to follow her?
No. I think it's time
we paid her old man a visit.
Are you fellas lost
or something?
You don't remember me, Pat?
I remember you, all right.
You remember you putting
a beating on me
back in the day?
Bet you wish you could
take that back now.
I did what I could
to keep the filth from
rising up from the street.
I'm proud of that.
I'm the filth
your daughter married.
That was the worst day
of my life.
She's dead now,
God rest her soul.
Don't lie to me, Pat.
It could be bad
for your health.
What exactly do you want?
I want you to help me
convince Lisa to come home.
Home with you?
Are you joking?
That looks painful.
I don't mean
to hurt you, Pat.
After all, we are family.
But I need you
to help me.
I'm not a-scared of you.
We spoke to the nurses.
We know Lisa comes
to visit you.
We know that you only have
a few months left to live.
But how you live
those months
is up to you.
Now I can get you out
of this dump.
Set you up someplace nice.
Or you could,
live out your last months
broken and beaten...
in terrible agony.
It's up to you.
You are a moron, you know that?
Good talk.
You think about my offer.
We'll come back
to visit you real soon.
- Hey, Mom.
- Honey, what are you
doing home?
School nurse sent me home
with a fever.
Are you okay?
Yeah, I'm okay.
How are you doing?
Fine. I was thinking
chicken for dinner.
Okay. Sounds good.
Are you gonna get that?
It's, probably work.
They'll call back.
Hello?
Can I speak to Lisa, please?
I'm sorry.
I think you have
the wrong number.
This is Lisa.
This is Wanda from
your father's nursing home.
Is-Is my dad okay?
Your father's had an accident.
Can you get down here?
Yes. Right away.
Wait, Mom, your dad's alive?
Tell me what's going on.
I love you, and I owe you
an explanation,
but I've got to go.
No, no, no, no.
I'm gonna go with you.
No.
Yes. I wanna meet
my grandfather.
I don't think it's a good idea.
I don't care
what you think, Mom.
That's my grandfather.
He's-- He's my family.
I have a right to meet him.
Come on.
Abby?
Before we go in,
there are some things
I need to tell you.
Okay.
I'm not who you think I am.
My parents
were good people.
But I wasn't like you.
I was a problem.
A problem.
A-- But--
What kind of problem?
I was a wild kid.
I ditched classes,
dated all the wrong guys.
I was a heroin addict.
A heroin addict?
Mom.
Abby.
Your father's name
was Tony O'Dell.
He was funny.
He made me laugh
all the time.
And he loved you.
He loved us both.
And I-I got clean the minute
I knew I was having you,
and I wouldn't let Tony
shoot up around you ever.
Wow.
So my dad was a junkie too?
Yeah.
And he left one night.
And he left us
with nothing.
And I couldn't turn
to my parents.
And Rick just took pity
on us.
He took us in,
and he was charming,
and he was a big name
on the street
and we got married.
Wait, go b--
Go back.
A big name on the street?
What does that even mean?
Let me finish.
But Rick was very jealous.
He hated that Tony
was still around.
He hated that
he was your father.
And he--
What, Mom?
He what?
He killed him.
Rick killed Tony.
He stabbed him with a syringe
full of pure heroin in the neck.
And when I heard that,
I just ran.
I just grabbed
everything I could,
and I just ran.
And I bought myself
a new name.
Why didn't you go to the police?
Because I couldn't.
My dad was a cop,
and he couldn't do anything.
Rick would have killed
our whole family.
Is that why we've moved
every two years...
and why you've made us
change our names and stuff?
Yeah.
That's why you've never met
your grandfather.
He thought it would--
it would be safer that way.
Come on,
you can do it.
Dad.
Are you okay?
I'm better than okay.
I'm great.
I finally get to meet
my granddaughter.
Come over here, girl,
and let me have a look at you.
Hi.
You're a beauty!
I've seen photos
of you, of course,
but wow.
In the flesh,
you're a corker.
My gosh, when did you get
all of my paintings and stuff?
Your mother's been sending them
to me over the years.
I've kept them all.
My gosh.
I-- I must have been seven
when I did this.
Six.
You were six.
That's one of my favorites.
I'll leave you two to catch up.
I'll be in the hallway.
Take your time.
Okay.
I was hoping you'd call.
I told you to stay away
from my family.
Your father provoked me.
You know, none of this
would have happened
if you accepted my offer.
What do you want me to do?
You know what I want you to do.
I want you and Abby
to come live with me.
I'm tired.
I'm tired of running.
I'm tired of chasing you.
But I have some conditions.
I wouldn't have expected
anything less.
Look, why don't you just
come over for dinner.
You know, we can sit down,
drink some wine,
talk about old times.
Okay. That sounds good.
How about 7:00?
No.
I can't make it before 8:00.
8:00's good.
I'll send the car.
No. I can drive myself.
Great.
Dad, I'm gonna pack your bags
so you can get out of here.
I'm grand here.
Nurse Wanda's taking care of me.
Yeah.
I think you'd be safer
in a motel...
until I can get everything
sorted out.
They're sending
a security guard down.
I'll be fine.
You just take good care
of my granddaughter.
She's the only one I got.
Okay. We should get going.
O-Okay.
All right.
How about a kiss
for your grandpa?
All right.
Bye.
You've done very well
with that girl, Lisa.
She's something special.
Yes, she is.
I'll-- I'll call you later.
- Thank you.
- Night, Grandpa.
See you soon, okay?
Good night, love.
Okay.
Okay.
I'll call you tomorrow.
All right, Mom.
Bye.
Um, about what
you told me earlier,
um, I don't really care
what you did.
I... still love you. So--
I love you too.
Okay.
All right, I'm going.
Bye.
There she is.
What's this?
Peace offering.
I'll take it.
You look beautiful.
Thank you.
Really beautiful.
Do you need anything else?
Do I look like
I need anything else?
Good night.
This is quite the place
you have here.
It's a little different
than the one-bedroom we shared.
Plenty of room
for you an Abby.
I always knew
you'd do well.
Well--
Got lucky.
It's not luck.
You worked really hard.
Let me take your coat
and your-- your bag.
Okay.
Yeah.
What?
You haven't changed a bit.
You're still so beautiful.
Stop it.
Okay, let's crack this open.
You're
a big drinker now?
I am when there's something
to celebrate.
Yeah?
What exactly do you have
to, celebrate?
Our new partnership.
Partnership.
You were right.
I asked around the neighbors--
all the soccer moms
are medicated.
Ambien, Vicodin, Viagra, Oxcy.
They do it all.
There's a huge market.
Well, what did I tell you?
Yeah.
I'll make you more money than
you'll know what to do with.
Sweet.
But.
I want what's coming to me.
I want half.
Half.
Half of something is better
than all of nothing.
I could make you
sell for me.
We don't need
to be partners for that.
Business 101--
You need to incentivize
your sales force.
What about Abby?
I shouldn't have kept her
from you.
A girl does need
a father figure in her life.
I just have to find
the right way
to explain it to her.
I'm sure you'll
figure out something.
You always do.
And what about us?
Us?
Don't tell me
you don't remember.
Remember what?
I missed you.
What about Jason?
What about him?
Come on, where you going?
To get some more champagne.
Do you want some?
Yeah, sure.
All right.
Yeah.
Thanks, sweetheart.
Cheers, baby.
Cheers.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
What's-What's the rush?
Come on, slow down.
Please.
You taught me how to drink.
Yeah.
Don't tell me
you're a lightweight now.
I could drink you
under the table anytime.
I'd like to see you try.
Yeah, right.
Yeah.
Very good.
Shall I get us some more?
Yeah, yeah.
Bring the bottle.
Okay.
Okay.
Encrypted. Of course.
Um--
Okay, not your birthday.
My birthday.
Damn it.
Cards.
You love blackjack.
Converge
and alphabetize numbers...
according to blackjack
evaluations.
Gotcha.
Lisa.
It's 6:00 in the morning.
This better be good.
It's good for me.
Not so much for you.
Lisa?
What did you do?
I made a copy
of all your files, Rick.
Files that contain records
of all your shipments,
contacts and bank statements.
What, are you insane?
Financial records--
that's how they caught
Al Capone.
You stupid bitch.
You come near me
or my family again,
and copies of the hard drive
will be sent to the D.E.A.,
F.B.I. and police.
God, what are you--
Are you threatening me?
It's not a threat.
It's a fact.
Stay away from me,
or I will burn you down.
You said you could trace
Lisa's cell.
The signal's gone.
She-- She must have destroyed
her phone.
Now what do we do?
You're gonna have to tell
the cartel.
Tell 'em what exactly?
Look, your computers
have records of all our
transactions with the cartel.
I mean, everything.
You're gonna have
to let them know.
I got a better idea.
Let's go.
I take it
this isn't a social call.
Stopped by Lisa's house.
Nobody home.
Figured you might know
where they are.
Who's that now?
Do you really wanna play
this game?
Didn't work out
so well for you last time.
It was all right.
Search him.
Cell phone.
That's a start.
You don't really have
a choice, Pat.
You're gonna tell me
what I want to know.
They all do.
Kill me now.
I'm a dead man anyway.
I'm not gonna kill you.
I'm gonna keep you alive.
Keep you in pain.
You're not gonna pass out...
'cause I'm not gonna let you.
And nobody
can hold out for long.
You're gonna break.
And you're gonna tell me
where Lisa is.
That's a given.
The question is, when?
And that's up to you.
Where's your daughter?
I don't know.
Last chance, Pat.
We can do this all day.
Where's your daughter?
Go to hell!
You think I wanna hurt you?
I don't.
But I can't stop doing this
till you tell me
where your daughter is.
Always the same
with your kind.
My kind?
And what kind might that be?
Filth! The kind I scrape off
the bottom of my shoe.
And that's--
that's funny to you?
Yeah.
You hit like a little girl.
I hit like a little girl?
That is funny.
Ha, ha, Pat.
Yeah, that's funny stuff,
but you haven't even heard
the punch line yet.
What now?
We got everything
we need right here.
Let's get the hell out of here.
Ready?
Yep.
Just make sure you keep her on
for at least 30 seconds.
Thirty seconds.
You got it.
Hi, Grandpa.
Abby, it's your father.
Rick?
Yeah. Yeah, it's me.
How did you get
Grandpa's phone?
Well, that's-that's
how I found you.
He's helping me.
Honey, I'm so excited
to finally meet you.
We're gonna have
so much fun together.
Whe-Where are you now,
sweetheart?
My mom said
to stay away from you.
She told you
a lot of lies, Abby.
- She lied
about a lot of things.
- You got it?
- We got it.
See you soon, sweetheart.
Let's go.
Hello? Rick.
Who was that? I--
It-- My--
My mom's husband.
Wh-What?
Your mom's married?
I can't really get into it
right now, Josie.
Yes, you can.
Hold on.
Hello?
Abby, where are you?
- Mom, I'm at Josie's.
- What about your tennis lesson?
The coach got sick and it got
canceled, but something
really weird just happened.
Okay, Rick just called me.
Did you tell him
where you are?
No. I--
I didn't know what to do.
Stay where you are.
I'm coming to get you.
Girls.
Can I help you? Rick?
Abby.
Stay away from me, okay?
Hey, my dad's inside.
Nice try, sweetheart.
No, I'm not going
anywhere with you!
- Let her go!
- Stop!
No! Grow up!
Grow up, Abby!
Let go of me!
That was a slap.
Next time not so gentle.
Let's go. Let's go.
Come on.
Abby? Abby!
God.
God.
Josie?
Josie.
God.
Abby?
Abby's already bleeding.
If you want her to live,
you got one hour.
Bring the hard drive
to the loft.
How do I know
she's still alive?
Say hello to Mommy.
- Mom!
- Abby. Abby,
I'm coming to get you.
Mom! Mom, he's got a knife!
Mom!
I had to take a finger.
If you touch her again,
I will kill you.
A girl can swing a tennis racket
with four fingers.
You cut her down to three,
it's gonna be
Special Olympics glory.
Bastard.
Yeah. You're right.
I am a bastard.
And you better remember that.
'Cause next time
it's not gonna be a finger.
It's gonna be her head.
Do you understand?
Do you understand me?
Yes.
No. No, please!
Stop! Stop!
Miranda?
Hey, where the hell you been?
I've been looking for you
for hours.
I messed up, Jason.
What are you talking about?
I tried to blackmail
Rick Fielding,
and he's taken Abby.
Whoa. Wait.
Wait, wait, hold on.
Slow down.
He's a drug dealer.
He works with
the Mexican cartels.
- Jesus, where are you?
- I'm going to his house
downtown.
No, don't-don't--
You can't do that.
Just stay where you are.
We'll make a plan.
No, there's no time.
I have to get there in an hour
or he'll kill her.
Miranda!
Miranda, listen to me.
If you go there,
they will kill you.
I know, Jason. I don't know
if I'm doing the right thing.
But I have to go and save Abby,
and if that means
I'm going to die, then so be it.
Miranda, th-th-they won't
just kill you.
They'll kill Abby too.
What do you want me to do?
- Trust me.
- Jason, I'm sorry.
I just called to say I love you
and that I'm sorry.
Mom. Mom!
Abby?
Mom!
Abby, sweetheart,
it's gonna be okay.
- Where's the hard drive?
- Right here.
How do we know
it's the only one?
I'll run a check.
See if it's been copied.
Do it!
It's the only copy, Rick.
I swear to God.
I loved you.
I loved you for 20 years.
I thought we were gonna have
a life together.
I swallowed your lies
hook, line and sinker,
and you-you betrayed me.
- Hard drive is good.
- Good. Excellent.
Okay, Rick. I held up
my end of the deal.
Now you can let Abby go.
Did you really think
that I was gonna let you go?
You're gonna die today.
You both are.
No, Rick!
You c--
You can't kill Abby.
Why not?
Be--
Because she's a child.
She's a baby.
A baby?
She's a teenaged brat.
And she's gonna die.
And I'm gonna kill her
and you're gonna watch.
Rick, you--
you don't have to do this.
I know I don't have to do it,
but I want to.
I wanna see your face
when I blow her brains out.
Stop! Please!
Rick, please.
Please.
Go.
I'll meet you out front.
Time to say good-bye.
- No!
- Rick, Rick! Stop!
Stop. Please.
Give me one good reason.
I-I-- I'll--
I'll tell you everything.
I'll-I'll tell you
why I left.
Enlighten me.
Because you're not
a real man, Rick.
What'd you say?
I said...
you're not a real man.
You're a worthless piece of crap
who can't satisfy
the woman he loves.
I can't believe
you were dumb enough
to fall in love with me.
You stop!
Mom!
Is that all you've got?
'Cause I was screwing around
the entire time we were married.
Yeah.
And I was hot for it too.
'Cause I needed a real man
after being with
a limp-dick loser like you.
Well, say good-bye
to your little girl.
She got away, didn't she?
Yeah. But I'll find her.
Don't you worry about that.
Let her go.
Kill me.
I intend to.
Right now.
Mom, are you okay?
Yeah.
Are you sure that--
Are you sure he's dead?
He's not gonna
hurt us anymore.
Are you okay?
Yeah, we're okay.
Thanks to you.
You saved our lives.
No. No, you saved yourself.
You're a good man, Jason.
And I'm a liar
and a thief and a murderer.
Mom, stop.
Self-defense
is not murder.
You deserve so much better.
We'll move on, and I promise
to stay out of your life.
Hey.
I don't want you out of my life.
I want us to be a family.
Jason, I'm a disaster.
Yeah, you are a disaster.
But you're my disaster,
and I love you.
I love you too.
Come on.
Where do you guys wanna go?
Home.
I wanna go home.
Yeah.
Come on.
