Vitals (2019) - full transcript
On vacation, a man wakes up in an abandoned motel room in a tub of ice and his kidney missing. It's only a matter of time before he finds his wife in the adjacent room waiting to be the next victim to a horrible organ harvesting organization. Originally taking the vacation to work on their failing marriage, they must now set their differences aside and use each other's wits and skills to escape before their captors return and their dark secrets are revealed.
Help.

Come on, come on.
Oh!
Okay, okay, okay.
Hey?
Hi?
Oh come on, come on!
Damn it.
Oh, no.
Oh!
February 24th, 1997.
My name is Jonathan Parks,
and I've been abducted.
I'm from Des Moines, Iowa,
and if you find this,
I'm probably dead.
Find my wife.
Read her this message.
Her name's Margaret.
Her phone number is.
Jane!
Oh, thank God!
God damn it!
Oh, oh God, oh yes.
Oh please, please.
Richard?
Hello?
Hello?
Oh my God!
Richard!
Richard!
Oh my God!
Oh, oh!
Oh!
Oh God!
Oh God!
Hello!
Hello, help!
Help, can anyone hear me?
Hello?
Is anyone there?
Hold on.
Where am I?
Oh God, oh God.
Where the fuck am I?
Oh God.
Oh oh oh!
Okay.
Oh oh!
Richard!
Richard!
Okay.
Yes, yes.
Come on.
Oh no!
No!
Richard?
Hello?
Is someone there?
Jane!
Jane, is that you?
Richard!
- Oh Jane!
- Oh thank God, Richard!
Are you all right?
Are you hurt?
Oh Richard, thank God.
Jane, we've been taken.
They cut me open.
What.
I patched myself up.
I took some pills, your prescription.
I've got your purse.
My phone, my phone is in the purse.
I know, there's no signal.
Are you all right?
I'm a little bruised, but that's it.
Did they hurt you?
No, I was drugged, but I'm okay.
Did they, did they touch you?
No, I'm pretty sure.
Tell me about the incision.
Oh, it's about two inches
to the right of my navel.
About six inches long.
Sounds like a kidney.
We need to get you to a hospital.
And how we gonna to do that?
I don't know.
Well, when you figure
that out, you let me know.
You need to lie down.
Is there anything in
your room that can help us?
I don't think so.
Richard lie down.
In a second.
Describe the items that
you have in your room.
Richard, there's nothing here.
Are you sure?
Yes, I'm sure.
I'm not an idiot.
You have to listen to me.
Look, you may not know that it's useful.
Just tell me what you've got in your room.
Stop it.
You always do this.
I am not a child.
I'm not calling you a child.
I'm trying to get us out of here.
Thanks for thinking I'm
too stupid to realize that.
I didn't call you stupid.
It's me with the MD.
Now who's calling who stupid?
You attack me.
You always attack me.
Well, listen to me you fucking shithead.
Unless you lie down, you'll tear something
and cause internal bleeding.
Do you hear me?
You'll die!
I got a signal.
What?
I got a signal.
Hold on, I'm getting us out of here.
- Operator.
- Hello, hello.
Help, I need your help.
My wife, my wife and I were,
Richard!
Hello, hello!
Hello?
I lost the signal.
Damn it!
Are you all right?
I blacked out.
I told you stay down, don't try to walk.
What did we do?
I don't know.
What's the last thing you remember?
Ah.
We went down to the lounge to get drinks.
Yeah.
Yeah, I remember that.
Now?
You're going to start in with me now?
I'm sorry.
What do you want me to do?
The last thing we talked about
is how you've been cheating
on me the last two years.
I said I was sorry!
What else do you want me to say?
Sorry?
Sorry?
Sorry that you cheated?
Or sorry that you told me on vacation?
Okay, look, can we talk
about that some other time?
Because I would very much
like to get out of here.
Thank you very much.
Oh God!
Let me see the incision.
There's nothing we can
do about that right now.
What did we do at the lounge?
I don't know.
We ordered drinks.
What'd you use to cover it?
Uh.
I ripped up some sheets from the bed,
and I used them like a bandage.
They left you on the bed?
No.
They left in the bathtub full of ice.
At the lounge,
do you remember anyone suspicious?
I did get the wrong drink.
Oh, that's right.
You ordered a Mojito and
brought you a Margarita.
You think they drugged our drinks?
They must have,
Oh God, oh!
Richard, you have to
get back into the ice.
I'm not going to be able
to hear you from the bathtub.
Yeah, I know.
You have to go.
Richard.
Richard, we're being watched?
What's going on in there?
We're being watched.
There's cameras in the ceiling light.
Wife found the camera.
But I feel at home...
I hope she doesn't break it.
Those things are expensive.
Hey, what's a four letter word
for a double reed Instrument?
Any letters?
Yeah, blank.
B, blank blank.
Oboe.
The same hunger.
You're so lovely, my dear.
How did you get so good at these?
I watch you, my friend.
Ah, me!
You started doing them, I started too.
Okay!
How much you think we can get?
I dunno, 150.
what's our commission?
15.
I met him on the plane
from Miami, Mr. Depp.
Made a pretty couple.
Oh no.
This is an odd picture of you.
What?
This is an odd picture of you.
What picture?
Jane, whose phone is this?
It's mine.
I bought a burner phone for the trip.
I lost my phone last time
we went away, remember?
I didn't go with you on
the last trip, remember?
Who'd you call?
It was a day trip to see
the Shanto Magos Temple.
You were planning a day trip?
Yes.
Together?
Yes, together!
I figured it was something
you'd like to do.
Anywhere, but here.
We're gonna be okay.
Let her go, let her go!
I'll do anything you guys want!
What do you want, money!
You idiot!
Guys, please, try not
to damage the merchandise.
These two are worth a considerable sum.
He attacked us.
What are we supposed to
do, lie down like dogs?
Hey, hey, hey, hey, I'm not the enemy.
You jump to anger too quickly.
You need to learn to contain her emotions.
I'm supposed to just let him kill me?
No, I'm saying be careful.
To me, their lives are
worth way more than yours.
You dare say that to me?
Oh no.
Are we really doing this now?
We're in the middle of a job
and instead of doing yours,
you're preventing me from doing mine.
You decide.
You're dead.
Are we done playing childish games?
Can we get back to work?
Really?
Use me as a human fucking shield.
You men, I'm gonna need more from you.
Get the surgeon.
I need you to stop worrying
about what you think is
important and start focusing
on what I think is important.
Are they secure?
Do you need help?
They're secure.
Good.
Let's move her to the other room.
Can you believe him?
He should watch his back.
That's what I'm for, to watch his back.
Come on.
One day, I'm gonna get even.
There is no getting even.
It's not a fight.
He was right.
You need to wait until the job's over.
You too, huh?
Before you get all up in my face,
I need to let you in on something.
What's that?
I will fire.
Go, I'll be right there.
No, come now!
It's only gonna to take a minute.
Nah, this ain't gonna happen.
What, you wanna get in first?
Huh, be my guest.
I can watch.
Get back.
I'd like to see you make me.
Why'd you go and do that?
That wasn't the plan.
Fine, we can make it work.
Mr. Kaliya.
Ah, Doctor, right on time.
I must protest, Mr. Kaliya.
Kaliya, it's Kaliya.
What seems to be the problem?
I can't do this here, in this room.
You can't do it here
or you won't do it here?
These aren't the right conditions.
So, you're new to our organization,
so let me explain how
things are going to work
from here on out.
I know you're not used
to these conditions,
but just know that your
glory days are behind you.
You don't work in a big,
fancy hospital anymore.
You work for me.
You had your chance, and it
was you who threw it all away.
My family.
Yeah, I know, I know.
You'll do one or two of these
and that'll get you back
in the swing of things.
Then you'll be used to it.
Before you know it this'll be old hat.
How do I know my son will be all right?
He's fine.
He's completely fine.
He doesn't even know anything's wrong.
You make us proud, we'll reward you.
You disappoint us, we'll
take something away.
He's innocent, please.
I can't go through that again.
Listen, I don't mean to
upset you, but we hired you
to get a kidney and the
heart from this man.
We're a little rushed for time.
So if you could
What?
We never discussed a heart.
It just came up.
Uh, we found a match, so...
I can't do both the kidney and a heart.
Why not?
I don't have the tools.
The heart will suffer.
I can do the kidney.
Here's
what you're going to do.
First, you're gonna get me the kidney.
Then you're gonna go and
get the appropriate tools
and then you're gonna get me the heart.
I'm not asking you.
I need both.
I don't care how you do it, just do it.
If you develop a conscience and refuse,
well, then we're gonna have a problem.
Do we have an understanding?
Yes.
Good, 'cause Philip here
deals with misunderstandings.
It's just that I don't know
if I can do the heart surgery.
I mean, my hands, I...
You live with that shame, not us.
You're here to do a job and
if you don't do your job,
it's gonna cost our
organization a lot of money.
The problem is, what if he
dies before the heart surgery?
Then he's pretty much
useless to us, isn't he?
That's why he won't die.
Look, I don't know...
You're trying my patience, doctor.
I can see this is going
to be a good relationship.
So many things in this world are done
in a half-assed manner.
People don't take the
time to really master
what they're doing,
but you, you still care
about your profession.
Our last surgeon didn't
have the care the patience
to do any of his work
properly, mm mm mm.
What happened in the last surgeon?
He botched too many jobs.
He cost our organization
so much money, ha.
Doesn't have the care that
I see you have, though.
Thank you for your confidence.
Don't let me down.
All right, 3000 off my debt?
Ah, no, no, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no.
1500.
But I'm doing two surgeries!
One man, one surgery.
It was you that wasn't prepared,
so let this be a lesson to you.
All right, can you
help me get a shirt off?
Uh, if you can get him into
the bathroom on the tarp.
Vessel?
What?
A container to put the organs
in after they're harvested.
Vessel.
If this all works out, Doctor,
maybe we can convert this motel room
into a real operating theater.
I just wanna make sure you're
completely comfortable.
I'm gonna leave Carl here.
Good, good, I can use a hand.
He's not here to help you.
He's here to watch you.
Can you handle this?
Yes, I can manage.
Do you have any family?
Are you a fan of opera?
Do you know Carmen?
You know, I used to be a married.
My wife is dead now.
She was the love of my life.
Her name was Carmen, just like the opera.
Why are you telling me this?
Helps me to concentrate.
You know I used to be a real
surgeon in a real hospital?
I was the number three
cardiac surgeon in Mexico.
He took my hands.
Takas.
Do you know him?
He was the head of the Cali
cartel until you took him out.
Brings in his son Lucas to the hospital
demanding that we operate right away.
He even shot my nurse so that
I would know he was serious.
His son was shot and was bleeding out.
He died before I could even open him up.
Takas went crazy, he started
shooting up the place.
He shot my hand, effectively
ending my career,
and then he brought my wife
in from outside the hall,
made me watch while he
shot her in the back
of the head, execution style.
She died instantly.
He destroyed my life.
That's why I contacted you guys.
Boris Alexi Takas paid for his crime.
Well, you know my story, what about you?
All right.
When will I love you.
Good Lord. I don't know, maybe never.
Maybe tomorrow,
but not today.
That's for sure.
This libretto is based on a
descending chromatic scale
followed by the variance
of the same phrasing,
first in the minor key than the
major key corresponding with
vicissitudes of love
expressed in the lyrics.
The opera ends with Carmen dying
in front of her loved ones.
Oh, Carmen, my Carmen, adore.
Okay, chest.
All right, you're gonna give me a hand.
I've got to put him back in the tub.
Richard?
Shit, Richard!
What?
I found a vent.
What?
A vent, a vent by the bed.
Right.
If we can open them up, you
could give me the cell phone.
I'll probably get a reception in here.
Do you have anything in
there to take off your side?
I don't think so.
Just use a dime, a dime ought to do it.
I don't have a dime.
You don't have any spare
change in your pockets?
Richard, what part
of I don't have a dime
don't you understand?
It's just you have a tendency to answer
without checking first.
No, no dime!
I'm sending a dime through the vent.
Got it.
Okay, okay, I got it, it's open.
Okay, I'm gonna pass it to you.
It's working.
Oh, thank God.
It's ringing.
Police services?
Oh thank God, please help.
My husband and I were on a
resort, and we were abducted.
They've taken his kidney.
He needs a hospital.
I'm here to help, miss.
Do you have any idea where
they are holding you?
No.
Can you describe anything
about where you are?
I'm locked in a motel room.
It looks old.
My husband is in the room beside me.
The windows are boarded up.
The windows on the room are boarded up.
Are there any identifying
items anywhere in the room?
No no, the place looks abandoned.
Ma'am, there are hundreds of motels.
Is there anything else you can tell me?
Uh, I don't know.
We're on a highway!
Oh yes, yes.
We are on a highway.
I've heard some trucks outside.
How frequent
do you hear the trucks?
I've heard a couple.
What are your names?
I'm Dr. Jane Carson and my
husband is Richard Carson.
What resort were you staying at?
Richard, what's the name of the resort?
The Akiri Sansa resort.
It's the Akiri Sansa resort in Goa.
I know it.
What phone or you're calling from?
My cell phone.
You say you were abducted
and you have your cell phone?
Yeah, yes, yes.
My purse dropped.
It was overlooked.
And obviously
you're getting reception
where you are?
Yes, very little.
Alright. Mrs. Carson, listen carefully.
If we're lucky, they already
got what they want from you
and your husband and moved on.
What I'm going to do
is to trace this number
and contact the American consulate.
Okay.
We will do our best to get
you out of the situation.
Please hurry, my
husband needs a hospital.
I'm just going
to just put you on hold
for a second.
Don't hang up.
Richard, they're doing
a trace on the phone.
We're gonna get out of this.
We've put a trace on your phone.
It turns out that you
are 250 kilometers away
from your resort.
The nearest town is about 45 minutes away
and the nearest emergency services 75.
I've already dispatched help.
After we hung up. I need
you to leave your phone on
so we can continue to trace the signal.
Don't worry, we will be
there as soon as we can.
Thank you.
Richard.
Richard!
No please, wake up. Richard!
I'm sorry.
So sorry.
You think this is easy?
You know how hard it is
waking up next you every day,
knowing what I know,
knowing that I'm half to blame.
I can't help it.
Every day, I look into your face.
Can't you you see how this is killing me?
You say you want to make it work.
I don't know if it's too late.
You stopped calling me sweetheart.
First noticed it in a phone message.
You were going to be late.
You were wiring the new
movie theater complex.
It was the biggest job
your company had landed,
and you wanted it to
oversee every little thing,
but when you were going
to be late, you'd call,
and you'd apologize
and you'd call me sweetheart.
One night, you called
and you didn't say it.
I thought you were just
preoccupied with the job
and when it was over we'd
go back to normal, but,
we never did.
You never called me sweetheart again.
That was two years ago.
I thought we were just growing apart.
Then you got careless.
Didn't even cover your tracks.
I just ignored it.
I took extra shifts at the hospital.
I pretended everything was all right.
People ask me about you and I'd,
I'd tell them about the latest
project you were working on.
I talked about you so proud.
Inside, it was killing me.
We didn't talk about it.
It's my fault, too.
I let it go on for two years.
Two years.
Without a single sweetheart.
It's amazing how one word can just
change a person's existence forever.
I wanted to hear you call me sweetheart.
Richard.
Thank God.
They must
want to keep me alive.
What do you mean?
Well think about it.
They put us in a motel room
with locks on the doors.
That's too far to walk for help.
So if I woke up and I wandered
off, I would surely die.
And then there's the ice here.
They wanted to bring my fever down.
They want me to survive.
Why else lug in all that ice.
Jane, they're coming back for us.
What?
They're going to take something else.
No.
They must've heard us
arguing at the resort.
At the resort?
Yeah.
Look at us.
We made ourselves targets.
We show up to a foreign country,
and we were throwing money
around like we're big shots
while people in this country starve.
We argue about our first world problems
while they're making a
dollar a day to serve coffee
to assholes like us.
They see everything.
They hear everything.
What does a kidney go for?
5000?
$10,000
Probably feed a family here for a year
and here we are flaunting.
They see you.
You're beautiful.
Fit.
We both are, we're fit, we're healthy.
They can only assume that our
organs are in top condition.
We were targets the moment
we stepped off that plane.
Never apologized.
For cheating?
Yes.
I'm sorry that it had to come to this,
that we had to get abducted
and I had to get butchered
for us to actually be talking about it.
Stop it.
What do you want me to do?
Nothing is ever as your fault is it?
Jane.
I'm bleeding again!
Richard, move.
I need to see.
Richard, I need to see.
Take them off.
Okay.
There's massive internal bleeding.
He must've clipped something.
If we don't fix that right
now, you're gonna die.
We don't have a lot of time.
I need you to listen to my
instructions very carefully.
Richard, we have to get in
there and fix the incision.
Cauterize whatever he did wrong.
What the hell's the point?
We're gonna survive this, Richard.
Even if it's not together.
We're gonna get through this.
What do I do?
We need to cut you
back open and get inside.
Oh, that's not gonna happen.
Richard, if we don't
do it, you're gonna die.
Okay, in a matter of minutes, we have to.
How do I do that?
Remove the stitches, drain the blood,
somehow cauterized the
wound and stitch it back up.
Are you fucking kidding me?
Richard, you have to do this.
All right, all right.
Okay.
Okay, is there any codeine left?
Uh.
One.
Take it.
Okay, okay.
In my purse, there's a
sewing kit and some tampons.
We're going to need
something to cauterize,
can you jury rig something?
Okay, yeah, good.
You're gonna need
something to bite down on.
Oh, oh.
Okay.
Okay.
I got it.
Listen to me very carefully.
You need to thread the needle first.
If you don't do it now, you're
going to be in so much pain,
you're not going to be
able to do it later.
Okay, there should be some
plastic thread in there.
Don't use the normal thread.
It will tear through your skin
like a fish hook through flesh.
It's clear.
Okay, I got it.
Okay.
Thread the needle.
Don't forget to tie it off.
All right, now take the nail clippers,
cut the end of the
stitches where the knot is.
Cut along all the incisions
until they're all severed.
Okay.
Okay, here goes everything?
Okay breathe.
Breathe, Richard, breathe.
We can't have you passing out?
Okay, good, good.
Grab the tampons, use that
to clear the blood out
from the wound.
Okay.
Okay, all right, now
here comes the hard part.
You should be able to see
where the blood is pouring out.
We have to cauterize that
location, burn it closed.
It's not gonna take a lot
of heat, but it's gonna hurt
unlike anything you've ever felt.
Oh God, I hate you!
Richard, Richard!
Damn it, Richard!
Okay, okay, did you get it?
Okay, good, good, okay.
We're not done yet, we have to sew you up.
I can't.
Okay, put pressure on it.
I can't.
Come on, stay with me.
Come on, hurry.
Do a cross stitch.
Okay, it'll keep the wound closed.
Come on, Richard, you can do this.
Stay with me, just a few more stitches.
It's too much.
It's too much, I can't.
Focus on my voice.
You can do this.
You fucking bastards!
Okay.
Okay, okay, okay, did you get it?
Yeah, oh my God, oh my God.
I'm so proud of you Richard.
Okay, okay.
We gotta get you into that tub.
Okay, the ice is going to
bring down the swelling
and your fever.
Come on, come on, Richard.
Richard, don't pass out.
Get into that bathtub, come on, come on.
Okay, good.
Good, Richard, good, okay.
You're gonna stay in there
until the police come.
I love you.
Hello, Adventure Excursions?
Kaliya, I need to speak with Kaliya.
There is no Kaliya here.
I was supposed to call
for a man named Kaliya
if I needed something to be taken care of.
I was supposed to call
it eight o'clock sharp.
I'm sorry, you have the wrong number.
Hello.
Mrs. Carson.
Doctor.
Sorry, Dr. Carson.
Before I go into my sales pitch,
there's something I
need you to understand.
It's not that I don't get why people
want to kill each other.
I just feel the need to inform them
that there are other ways.
You're both adults.
Have you tried therapy
or a puppy or something?
What?
You'd be surprised at how
many people change their minds
based on that statement alone.
Me, I wish somebody gave me options
before I got into this line of work.
I like to extend the
courtesy to my clients.
This is the chance to change your mind.
No, no, I want to do it.
Okay, very well.
We can help you with that, but
before you go down this road,
you have to understand that
there was no going back.
This is not a game.
There is no undo button.
Do you understand that?
Yes, I do.
All right.
I don't need to know why.
Just the particulars.
The three W's, who, where, when?
My husband, I need it done sometime
before our vacation is over.
I was gonna order a day trip
to the Shanta Magos temple.
Maybe we could get it done there?
I'm gonna walk you through
how this is going to be done.
You cannot show any connection
to me or my organization.
Okay.
Did you bring a burner
phone like I directed?
Yeah, yeah, I'm using it now.
Good, did you bring 5,000 American?
Yes, I have it in an envelope.
All right, go
Look to your left.
Hand the envelope to the man in the hat.
Done.
Got it.
Good.
Okay, now that you have your money,
how do I know that going
to go through with it?
I don't know what else to
tell you except you're going
to have to trust us.
Do you want a receipt for your taxes?
No, I get it.
Now, do you have a photo or
some video of your husband?
Ah, yes, on my other phone.
You know what, just
take a photo of yourself
and send it to us.
When you and your husband
are out and about,
we'll take care of everything.
You should be getting a text message now.
Send that photo to that address.
Okay.
Now just go about
your vacation normally.
Okay.
Now, Dr. Carson, if
there are any complications
or questions, do not call us.
We'll send you a text message.
Got it!
All right. Doctor Carson.
This should be the last time we talk.
All right.
Kaliya, I need to speak with Kaliya.
This is Dr. Carson.
Dr. Carson, I thought
I told you never to call.
Something has gone horribly wrong.
We were on the resort
and we were abducted.
We're being held.
They're going to kill us.
I know our arrangement, but I
don't know who else to call.
I need you to help me.
Nothing's gone wrong.
This is all part of the
service you paid for.
What?
This isn't what I wanted.
I never agreed to harvesting his organs.
Call this off.
Dr. Carson, you know I can't do that.
I made that perfectly clear.
I've changed my mind.
I don't want to go through with it.
The gears are in motion.
It's too late.
How much?
Dr. Carson, unfortunately
the people I do business with,
they've already made arrangements.
You weren't supposed to torture him.
This was supposed to be clean.
I remember making no such promise.
Dr. Carson, I run a business.
I'm fulfilling several
clients' needs at once.
I already have bidders
for your husband's organs.
You were suppose to
kidnap him and kill him.
It was supposed to look like an accident.
Why am I here?
Oh, well that's all part of the story.
See, if you go to the police
about your missing husband,
a suspicion will be raised.
You'll be brought in for questioning.
You're not a strong woman, Dr. Carson.
You'll be put into situations
with the bright lights.
Ah!
you'll reveal who I am,
what our organization is.
I won't, I swear.
Yeah, you will.
But if you and your
husband are both kidnapped
and through a sad turn of
events, your husband dies,
but you somehow miraculously escape.
Huh, that's a different story.
Yeah, you'll be drugged
and bruised up a bit,
but you'll be above suspicion.
They'll still ask you questions,
but they won't be looking
for that lie behind your eyes.
This is sick.
No, no more sick than
you hiring our organization
to dispose of your husband.
I don't want to go through with this.
What do I need to do?
You don't understand.
Your husband's organs
have already been sold.
People's blood types have
already been matched up to his.
He's going to save lives.
Ha, you know that scene in the
movie where someone's dying,
and they need a heart
transplant and one shows up
just in the nick of time?
Oh my God, that's us, that's what we do!
We show up just in the nick of time!
You're taking his heart.
It's worth $100,000.
We have people ready to purchase them.
I'm not talking black market either.
I'm talking about hospitals
in your good old US of A.
The chief surgeons bid for them.
We've even sold several to
your hospital. Dr. Carson.
St Paul's.
My hospital.
We do our homework.
We can't take the chance that somebody
will change their mind and
then talk to the authorities.
I can't go through with this.
What do you want me to do?
This isn't a game. Dr.
Carson, you called us!
I made the terms absolutely clear
and then you agreed to them.
I didn't agree to watch!
Ah, that's an unfortunate circumstance.
Wait, is that the only reason
your changing your mind?
Did you find somebody else to pay off
that huge gambling debt of yours?
From what you told me,
if you don't pay it off,
you're as good as dead.
I love him.
It's a little too late for love.
It's never too late for love.
That's a beautiful sentiment.
I think you should spend
these last few hours
with your husband thinking
about all the reasons
you love him.
At least you'll have that.
I'm sorry, Dr. Carson, I can't help you.
Hello, hello, hello!
He woke up.
Yes, he woke up.
You didn't give him enough sedative.
What happened here?
He ripped his stitches
and he and his wife
had to put him back together.
They said it was internal bleeding.
He opened himself up and
soldered his own wounds shut.
This does not bode well for you, doctor.
My God, the poor man.
He's alive.
Must've passed out from the pain.
I still expect you to deliver
what you said you would.
I did deliver.
From where I'm standing,
if it wasn't for the quick
thinking actions as the wife,
we'd be down a heart.
I'm sorry.
If you can't do the job
then we will find someone who can.
No, I know I can do the job.
You know what?
Maybe it was a mistake
trusting you with this
in the first place.
No, no, I can do it
After all, it was you who came to us
to dispose of the man
who killed your wife.
And for that, I'm grateful.
It was you who couldn't
pay off the remainder.
If you have $10,000 on you
right now, you can leave.
I don't.
Crimes of
passion are the worst.
People never think about the
consequences of their actions.
How many more before I'm paid off?
We'll tell you.
But if you botch this operation
up like you did the kidney,
you'll have cost our organization
more than you can afford.
I understand.
Oh good, I'm glad we
have an understanding.
Can I get Carl to help me?
I mean, this is very difficult to do.
I want you to look
at today as Christmas Day
and you're a kid and in front
of you is a large present.
Except if you break this present,
you're gonna pay for it with your life.
I don't envy the position you're in.
May God have mercy on your soul.
Please, he's my husband.
You caused this.
Please.
I've got my own problems.
You gave an oath.
Once.
I'm not a doctor anymore.
Hardly even a man.
You don't have to do this.
Why did you help them fix my mistake?
You knew he was just going to die anyway.
He's my husband.
I didn't want to see him suffer.
Well, you prevented nothing.
I can pay off your debt.
You won't be able to.
Neither of us'll be alive long enough.
This is the way the
world ends, Dr. Carson.
Not with a bang with a whimper.
Just as long as I saw Boris Takas dead.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
That's who I hired to kill my husband.
You're working for the wrong people!
You foolish woman.
It was who I was put
onto, the Cali cartel.
Then why did you try to save him?
They are torturing
him in front of my eyes.
I don't want to see that.
I don't hate him that much.
What, so you just had a change of heart?
That's right.
I was given Takas's, number
and he put me onto Kaliya.
I had to pay them $5,000.
Then why kidnap you?
Apparently it puts me above
suspicion to the police.
They've played you, Doctor,
just like they've played me.
You think that you're paying off your debt
because they've killed your arch enemy.
You're just working for the same man.
I work for. Alexander Dobrez.
No, no, they lied to you.
You've never even questioned it
because you were so blind with revenge.
You're wrong!
Think about it.
Did you see it happen?
Do you have proof?
Hey, you're here to do a job.
It's done.
How do you know?
I have proof!
Yes.
Give him to me.
Hello?
What are you doing?
The heart.
Why would you listen to her?
She doesn't know anything.
Is it true?
Of course it's not true.
Is it true?
I want you to listen to me.
You are there to do a job.
If you don't want to do it, you pay.
Do you understand?
Yes.
Now hand me to Carl.
Yes.
Go into the other
room and kill that bitch.
Yes.
I'm sorry.
This is bad.
Shut up, Philip.
What are you going to
do now, motherfucker?
This changes nothing.
We've already made a phone
call and another surgeon
will be on his way.
This time, I'll make sure he kills you.
Let's call this off.
Let's end this.
Mr. Carson, you know I can't do that.
What you have is way too valuable.
Oh fine, then I'll just
kill myself right now.
Yeah, you do that.
You know we have your
wife as collateral, right?
She can easily step in
and take your place.
I'd like to see you try that.
I've got a gun now.
Mr. Carson, we know
you have no more bullets.
So by my calculations, you've done nothing
to prevent the events
of today from happening.
In fact, you've helped us.
That surgeon, I didn't really trust him.
He was too desperate.
We have a replacement on his way here now.
You've lost.
You should just accept your destiny.
What's your name?
I'm not gonna tell you my name.
Oh, come on.
I'm all bled out.
I'm next to dead, and you're
still too much of a coward
to tell them in the
name of my executioner,
It's Kaliya.
Well, fuck you. Kaliya.
You are excellent and
Resourceful man, Richard Carson.
Under different circumstances.
I would want to know you.
I think you're a piece of shit.
I can totally see why you'd think that.
I've already called the cops.
You want to play with the big boys?
I own this town.
You think you saved yourself?
You just managed to get
a couple of cops killed.
They're gonna be here.
You think this is some kind of game.
I will kill you and rip
your fucking throw it out
and then I'll do the same for your wife.
You're a monster!
Only compared to some.
You would kill an
innocent man and his wife.
It was your wife that did
this to you, Mr. Carson.
Oh, that's a lie!
Oh, I'm lying, I'm lying, I'm a liar.
Listen, I'd go willingly
if you just let her go.
You're in no position to bargain.
Do you know who's getting them?
What?
Come on Kaliya, who's getting them?
Your heart is going to a
man with a family of four.
He won't know where it came from.
Tomorrow, he'll get a
phone call from his doctor
telling him that they found an organ donor
and that you were in a car accident
and that your blood types are a match.
He'll get to see his children grow up.
Your kidney, that's going to a woman who,
for her entire adult life, has
been on a dialysis machine.
You'll be giving her a new lease on life.
To these people you'll be a hero.
They sound like good people.
The kind of people that, if
they knew where these organs
were coming from, they'd rather die.
You might be right, Mr. Carson,
but people turn a blind eye.
We use a licensed harvester and
nobody knows the difference.
Richard, what did he say?
It's gonna be all right.
Said he's going to let us go.
Really?
Yeah.
We've already brought too much attention
to him and his organization.
He doesn't want that.
The cops'll be here in a few minutes.
He can't risk it.
Really, he's going to let us go?
Yeah.
That's great.
That's great, oh my God!
What are you doing?
Nothing.
Hello, you marvelous bastard, you.
Richard, when the police come,
everything will be different.
I want a real marriage.
I want to start over.
I know.
I know.
I know, I feel the same way.
But what about your debt?
No, it doesn't matter.
We'll make it work.
You know, we'll sell the house.
It doesn't matter.
As long as I'm with you,
that's all I care about.
There is one thing I need
to discuss with you, Jane.
What is that?
Exactly how much was my life worth?
What?
How much was the pay out?
How much did you pay them?
How much am I worth?
Richard, you got it all wrong.
Do I?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You're paranoid.
You know, I can understand after all
that you've been through.
Can't even be straight
with me, huh Jane?
You're in shock, okay.
You don't know what you're saying.
That Kaliya piece of shit,
he said that you hired him.
His number's on your phone, Jane.
It's on both of their phones,
and it's on your phone.
So I'm gonna ask you one more time,
exactly how much is my life worth?
I owe money, Richard.
More than I know?
Close to a million.
How?
The stock market.
How much is my insurance policy worth?
Richard...
How much is my insurance policy worth?
A million dollars.
Well, that's fucking great!
How much did you pay that
asshole Kaliya to kill me?
Five.
5,000?
$5,000, Jane?
Everything we were, thrown
away for 5,000 fucking dollars.
I know, I'm sorry.
Our mortgage payment's more than that.
I know.
That God awful statue
in the front hallway
is worth more than that.
I know, I know, I'm sorry, all right?
I'm such a fucking idiot.
Listen, I would do it
differently if I could, you know.
I tried to change his mind,
and he wouldn't have any of it.
Take my place.
What?
Take my place.
Go instead of me.
Uh, the police are almost here.
Come on, you created this mess.
You are the only one who
can change the outcome.
Now take my place.
And if they don't show up,
show me how penitent you are.
How much really love me.
Take my place.
No, no, no, no, no Richard,
it doesn't work like that.
Why not?
You are just as good a candidate as I am.
Pick up the phone.
Call him and tell him
that you want to volunteer
instead of me.
Haven't you've done enough damage?
Stop it.
You fucked up, Jane.
You hired them.
You got yourself in debt.
You made this marriage fail,
and at the end of it all,
you're the murderer.
No, no!
Dr. Carson, I grow tired...
Take me!
This is highly unusual.
Oh, just just, just take me,
just take me instead.
Do you want me to talk you out of this?
Is that what this is?
Fine, think of the future.
If your husband dies,
where does that leave you?
Dead as well.
I am offering you a chance
at a different future.
There's only one logical outcome to this.
Just hang up the phone.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I see.
Hello.
Margaret Parks.
You don't know me and
what I'm about to tell you
may seem very hard to believe,
but I need you to listen
to me very carefully.
If this is some kind of prank,
I'm really not in the mood.
No ma'am, no, this is not a prank.
My name is Richard Carson.
I'm from Syracuse, New York.
I was on vacation with my wife in India,
and we were abducted.
I think they're coming
back for us so they can
harvest my organs and sell
them to the highest bidder.
They already took my kidney.
If this is this is some kind of joke,
I'm really not interested.
Please, please don't hang up.
This is not a joke.
The reason I'm calling
you is because in the room
they're keeping me, I found a note
from your husband, Jonathan,
dated 1997.
Jonathan.
Is Jonathan your husband?
1997.
That was the year he disappeared.
He uh, he left a note
asking me to contact you.
How can you be calling me
if you're being held hostage?
I managed to get a phone.
Look, I don't have much time.
They're coming back for me.
I need to read you something.
Call the police!
Get some help!
Oh, I did, I did.
They're on their way, thank you.
Now I need to tell you about your husband.
Do you want to hear the note he left you?
Yes.
Margaret, I fear the last
words that ever came out
of our mouths were curse words
and then when I stormed out
of our room, I never thought
it would be the last time
we saw each other.
I want to tell you that
I'm sorry for everything
and that I never stopped loving you.
I was taken by some men and I don't know
what they want from me.
I know I won't survive until morning.
Oh God!
I want you to know that my
last thoughts were of you.
I love you.
That's all it says.
Thank you, Richard.
I.
I don't know what to say.
Jonathan was a lucky man
then, to have someone like you,
someone to leave a note behind for.
Mm-hm,
We were on vacation.
We were pregnant.
I was just about to tell
him, and he lost money
in the casino.
I yelled at him.
He didn't know why.
I didn't want him to keep wasting money.
That's the last time I saw him.
I needed you to know
the truth, Margaret.
Goodbye Margaret.
Richard, what are you doing?
Oh!
Richard, talk to me.
I'm gonna do it.
Go to hell.
I'm gonna take your place.
It's too late, Jane.
You can't.
I will.
Richard, do you hear that?
We're saved.
We're in here!
We're in here!
No, no!
No!
Oh my God, oh my God!
Dr. Carson.
Due to unforeseen circumstances,
I now need your help.
Wow, that happened.
I need you to perform the surgery.
What?
See, you're a doctor.
I'm sure you have a better
idea of what to do than me.
No.
I'm not asking.
I won't.
Oh.
Oh, it's okay.
It's all right.
That's all right.
It's all right.
I understand.
It's so much.
It's all right, it's okay.
There's already been so much death.
Mr. Carson, don't do anything stupid.
There's no reason to
upset the flow of things.
Prep him for surgery.
No!
Do it!
Hurry.
Come with me.
Dr. Carson, do this
for me and I'll make sure
nobody finds out it was you
You can have a whole new life.
One million dollars, Dr. Carson.
How many more until I'm done?
We'll tell you.
What's an eight letter word
for a breach of loyalty?
Betrayal.
Help.
Ooh, oh fuck, oh fuck, oh fuck!
Jane!
Jane!
Jane, Jane!
What the, what the fuck!
What?
What the?
Anybody?
Help me!
Help!
Jane!
Jane!
Somebody help me!
Okay.
Okay.
Oh!
Oh God!
Oh!
Here we go.
Oh, oh God, okay, okay, okay.
Come on, Richard.
Come on, come on.
Oh!
Okay, okay, okay.
Hey?
Hi?
Oh come on, come on!
Damn it.
Oh, no.
Oh!
February 24th, 1997.
My name is Jonathan Parks,
and I've been abducted.
I'm from Des Moines, Iowa,
and if you find this,
I'm probably dead.
Find my wife.
Read her this message.
Her name's Margaret.
Her phone number is.
Jane!
Oh, thank God!
God damn it!
Oh, oh God, oh yes.
Oh please, please.
Richard?
Hello?
Hello?
Oh my God!
Richard!
Richard!
Oh my God!
Oh, oh!
Oh!
Oh God!
Oh God!
Hello!
Hello, help!
Help, can anyone hear me?
Hello?
Is anyone there?
Hold on.
Where am I?
Oh God, oh God.
Where the fuck am I?
Oh God.
Oh oh oh!
Okay.
Oh oh!
Richard!
Richard!
Okay.
Yes, yes.
Come on.
Oh no!
No!
Richard?
Hello?
Is someone there?
Jane!
Jane, is that you?
Richard!
- Oh Jane!
- Oh thank God, Richard!
Are you all right?
Are you hurt?
Oh Richard, thank God.
Jane, we've been taken.
They cut me open.
What.
I patched myself up.
I took some pills, your prescription.
I've got your purse.
My phone, my phone is in the purse.
I know, there's no signal.
Are you all right?
I'm a little bruised, but that's it.
Did they hurt you?
No, I was drugged, but I'm okay.
Did they, did they touch you?
No, I'm pretty sure.
Tell me about the incision.
Oh, it's about two inches
to the right of my navel.
About six inches long.
Sounds like a kidney.
We need to get you to a hospital.
And how we gonna to do that?
I don't know.
Well, when you figure
that out, you let me know.
You need to lie down.
Is there anything in
your room that can help us?
I don't think so.
Richard lie down.
In a second.
Describe the items that
you have in your room.
Richard, there's nothing here.
Are you sure?
Yes, I'm sure.
I'm not an idiot.
You have to listen to me.
Look, you may not know that it's useful.
Just tell me what you've got in your room.
Stop it.
You always do this.
I am not a child.
I'm not calling you a child.
I'm trying to get us out of here.
Thanks for thinking I'm
too stupid to realize that.
I didn't call you stupid.
It's me with the MD.
Now who's calling who stupid?
You attack me.
You always attack me.
Well, listen to me you fucking shithead.
Unless you lie down, you'll tear something
and cause internal bleeding.
Do you hear me?
You'll die!
I got a signal.
What?
I got a signal.
Hold on, I'm getting us out of here.
- Operator.
- Hello, hello.
Help, I need your help.
My wife, my wife and I were,
Richard!
Hello, hello!
Hello?
I lost the signal.
Damn it!
Are you all right?
I blacked out.
I told you stay down, don't try to walk.
What did we do?
I don't know.
What's the last thing you remember?
Ah.
We went down to the lounge to get drinks.
Yeah.
Yeah, I remember that.
Now?
You're going to start in with me now?
I'm sorry.
What do you want me to do?
The last thing we talked about
is how you've been cheating
on me the last two years.
I said I was sorry!
What else do you want me to say?
Sorry?
Sorry?
Sorry that you cheated?
Or sorry that you told me on vacation?
Okay, look, can we talk
about that some other time?
Because I would very much
like to get out of here.
Thank you very much.
Oh God!
Let me see the incision.
There's nothing we can
do about that right now.
What did we do at the lounge?
I don't know.
We ordered drinks.
What'd you use to cover it?
Uh.
I ripped up some sheets from the bed,
and I used them like a bandage.
They left you on the bed?
No.
They left in the bathtub full of ice.
At the lounge,
do you remember anyone suspicious?
I did get the wrong drink.
Oh, that's right.
You ordered a Mojito and
brought you a Margarita.
You think they drugged our drinks?
They must have,
Oh God, oh!
Richard, you have to
get back into the ice.
I'm not going to be able
to hear you from the bathtub.
Yeah, I know.
You have to go.
Richard.
Richard, we're being watched?
What's going on in there?
We're being watched.
There's cameras in the ceiling light.
Wife found the camera.
But I feel at home...
I hope she doesn't break it.
Those things are expensive.
Hey, what's a four letter word
for a double reed Instrument?
Any letters?
Yeah, blank.
B, blank blank.
Oboe.
The same hunger.
You're so lovely, my dear.
How did you get so good at these?
I watch you, my friend.
Ah, me!
You started doing them, I started too.
Okay!
How much you think we can get?
I dunno, 150.
what's our commission?
15.
I met him on the plane
from Miami, Mr. Depp.
Made a pretty couple.
Oh no.
This is an odd picture of you.
What?
This is an odd picture of you.
What picture?
Jane, whose phone is this?
It's mine.
I bought a burner phone for the trip.
I lost my phone last time
we went away, remember?
I didn't go with you on
the last trip, remember?
Who'd you call?
It was a day trip to see
the Shanto Magos Temple.
You were planning a day trip?
Yes.
Together?
Yes, together!
I figured it was something
you'd like to do.
Anywhere, but here.
We're gonna be okay.
Let her go, let her go!
I'll do anything you guys want!
What do you want, money!
You idiot!
Guys, please, try not
to damage the merchandise.
These two are worth a considerable sum.
He attacked us.
What are we supposed to
do, lie down like dogs?
Hey, hey, hey, hey, I'm not the enemy.
You jump to anger too quickly.
You need to learn to contain her emotions.
I'm supposed to just let him kill me?
No, I'm saying be careful.
To me, their lives are
worth way more than yours.
You dare say that to me?
Oh no.
Are we really doing this now?
We're in the middle of a job
and instead of doing yours,
you're preventing me from doing mine.
You decide.
You're dead.
Are we done playing childish games?
Can we get back to work?
Really?
Use me as a human fucking shield.
You men, I'm gonna need more from you.
Get the surgeon.
I need you to stop worrying
about what you think is
important and start focusing
on what I think is important.
Are they secure?
Do you need help?
They're secure.
Good.
Let's move her to the other room.
Can you believe him?
He should watch his back.
That's what I'm for, to watch his back.
Come on.
One day, I'm gonna get even.
There is no getting even.
It's not a fight.
He was right.
You need to wait until the job's over.
You too, huh?
Before you get all up in my face,
I need to let you in on something.
What's that?
I will fire.
Go, I'll be right there.
No, come now!
It's only gonna to take a minute.
Nah, this ain't gonna happen.
What, you wanna get in first?
Huh, be my guest.
I can watch.
Get back.
I'd like to see you make me.
Why'd you go and do that?
That wasn't the plan.
Fine, we can make it work.
Mr. Kaliya.
Ah, Doctor, right on time.
I must protest, Mr. Kaliya.
Kaliya, it's Kaliya.
What seems to be the problem?
I can't do this here, in this room.
You can't do it here
or you won't do it here?
These aren't the right conditions.
So, you're new to our organization,
so let me explain how
things are going to work
from here on out.
I know you're not used
to these conditions,
but just know that your
glory days are behind you.
You don't work in a big,
fancy hospital anymore.
You work for me.
You had your chance, and it
was you who threw it all away.
My family.
Yeah, I know, I know.
You'll do one or two of these
and that'll get you back
in the swing of things.
Then you'll be used to it.
Before you know it this'll be old hat.
How do I know my son will be all right?
He's fine.
He's completely fine.
He doesn't even know anything's wrong.
You make us proud, we'll reward you.
You disappoint us, we'll
take something away.
He's innocent, please.
I can't go through that again.
Listen, I don't mean to
upset you, but we hired you
to get a kidney and the
heart from this man.
We're a little rushed for time.
So if you could
What?
We never discussed a heart.
It just came up.
Uh, we found a match, so...
I can't do both the kidney and a heart.
Why not?
I don't have the tools.
The heart will suffer.
I can do the kidney.
Here's
what you're going to do.
First, you're gonna get me the kidney.
Then you're gonna go and
get the appropriate tools
and then you're gonna get me the heart.
I'm not asking you.
I need both.
I don't care how you do it, just do it.
If you develop a conscience and refuse,
well, then we're gonna have a problem.
Do we have an understanding?
Yes.
Good, 'cause Philip here
deals with misunderstandings.
It's just that I don't know
if I can do the heart surgery.
I mean, my hands, I...
You live with that shame, not us.
You're here to do a job and
if you don't do your job,
it's gonna cost our
organization a lot of money.
The problem is, what if he
dies before the heart surgery?
Then he's pretty much
useless to us, isn't he?
That's why he won't die.
Look, I don't know...
You're trying my patience, doctor.
I can see this is going
to be a good relationship.
So many things in this world are done
in a half-assed manner.
People don't take the
time to really master
what they're doing,
but you, you still care
about your profession.
Our last surgeon didn't
have the care the patience
to do any of his work
properly, mm mm mm.
What happened in the last surgeon?
He botched too many jobs.
He cost our organization
so much money, ha.
Doesn't have the care that
I see you have, though.
Thank you for your confidence.
Don't let me down.
All right, 3000 off my debt?
Ah, no, no, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no.
1500.
But I'm doing two surgeries!
One man, one surgery.
It was you that wasn't prepared,
so let this be a lesson to you.
All right, can you
help me get a shirt off?
Uh, if you can get him into
the bathroom on the tarp.
Vessel?
What?
A container to put the organs
in after they're harvested.
Vessel.
If this all works out, Doctor,
maybe we can convert this motel room
into a real operating theater.
I just wanna make sure you're
completely comfortable.
I'm gonna leave Carl here.
Good, good, I can use a hand.
He's not here to help you.
He's here to watch you.
Can you handle this?
Yes, I can manage.
Do you have any family?
Are you a fan of opera?
Do you know Carmen?
You know, I used to be a married.
My wife is dead now.
She was the love of my life.
Her name was Carmen, just like the opera.
Why are you telling me this?
Helps me to concentrate.
You know I used to be a real
surgeon in a real hospital?
I was the number three
cardiac surgeon in Mexico.
He took my hands.
Takas.
Do you know him?
He was the head of the Cali
cartel until you took him out.
Brings in his son Lucas to the hospital
demanding that we operate right away.
He even shot my nurse so that
I would know he was serious.
His son was shot and was bleeding out.
He died before I could even open him up.
Takas went crazy, he started
shooting up the place.
He shot my hand, effectively
ending my career,
and then he brought my wife
in from outside the hall,
made me watch while he
shot her in the back
of the head, execution style.
She died instantly.
He destroyed my life.
That's why I contacted you guys.
Boris Alexi Takas paid for his crime.
Well, you know my story, what about you?
All right.
When will I love you.
Good Lord. I don't know, maybe never.
Maybe tomorrow,
but not today.
That's for sure.
This libretto is based on a
descending chromatic scale
followed by the variance
of the same phrasing,
first in the minor key than the
major key corresponding with
vicissitudes of love
expressed in the lyrics.
The opera ends with Carmen dying
in front of her loved ones.
Oh, Carmen, my Carmen, adore.
Okay, chest.
All right, you're gonna give me a hand.
I've got to put him back in the tub.
Richard?
Shit, Richard!
What?
I found a vent.
What?
A vent, a vent by the bed.
Right.
If we can open them up, you
could give me the cell phone.
I'll probably get a reception in here.
Do you have anything in
there to take off your side?
I don't think so.
Just use a dime, a dime ought to do it.
I don't have a dime.
You don't have any spare
change in your pockets?
Richard, what part
of I don't have a dime
don't you understand?
It's just you have a tendency to answer
without checking first.
No, no dime!
I'm sending a dime through the vent.
Got it.
Okay, okay, I got it, it's open.
Okay, I'm gonna pass it to you.
It's working.
Oh, thank God.
It's ringing.
Police services?
Oh thank God, please help.
My husband and I were on a
resort, and we were abducted.
They've taken his kidney.
He needs a hospital.
I'm here to help, miss.
Do you have any idea where
they are holding you?
No.
Can you describe anything
about where you are?
I'm locked in a motel room.
It looks old.
My husband is in the room beside me.
The windows are boarded up.
The windows on the room are boarded up.
Are there any identifying
items anywhere in the room?
No no, the place looks abandoned.
Ma'am, there are hundreds of motels.
Is there anything else you can tell me?
Uh, I don't know.
We're on a highway!
Oh yes, yes.
We are on a highway.
I've heard some trucks outside.
How frequent
do you hear the trucks?
I've heard a couple.
What are your names?
I'm Dr. Jane Carson and my
husband is Richard Carson.
What resort were you staying at?
Richard, what's the name of the resort?
The Akiri Sansa resort.
It's the Akiri Sansa resort in Goa.
I know it.
What phone or you're calling from?
My cell phone.
You say you were abducted
and you have your cell phone?
Yeah, yes, yes.
My purse dropped.
It was overlooked.
And obviously
you're getting reception
where you are?
Yes, very little.
Alright. Mrs. Carson, listen carefully.
If we're lucky, they already
got what they want from you
and your husband and moved on.
What I'm going to do
is to trace this number
and contact the American consulate.
Okay.
We will do our best to get
you out of the situation.
Please hurry, my
husband needs a hospital.
I'm just going
to just put you on hold
for a second.
Don't hang up.
Richard, they're doing
a trace on the phone.
We're gonna get out of this.
We've put a trace on your phone.
It turns out that you
are 250 kilometers away
from your resort.
The nearest town is about 45 minutes away
and the nearest emergency services 75.
I've already dispatched help.
After we hung up. I need
you to leave your phone on
so we can continue to trace the signal.
Don't worry, we will be
there as soon as we can.
Thank you.
Richard.
Richard!
No please, wake up. Richard!
I'm sorry.
So sorry.
You think this is easy?
You know how hard it is
waking up next you every day,
knowing what I know,
knowing that I'm half to blame.
I can't help it.
Every day, I look into your face.
Can't you you see how this is killing me?
You say you want to make it work.
I don't know if it's too late.
You stopped calling me sweetheart.
First noticed it in a phone message.
You were going to be late.
You were wiring the new
movie theater complex.
It was the biggest job
your company had landed,
and you wanted it to
oversee every little thing,
but when you were going
to be late, you'd call,
and you'd apologize
and you'd call me sweetheart.
One night, you called
and you didn't say it.
I thought you were just
preoccupied with the job
and when it was over we'd
go back to normal, but,
we never did.
You never called me sweetheart again.
That was two years ago.
I thought we were just growing apart.
Then you got careless.
Didn't even cover your tracks.
I just ignored it.
I took extra shifts at the hospital.
I pretended everything was all right.
People ask me about you and I'd,
I'd tell them about the latest
project you were working on.
I talked about you so proud.
Inside, it was killing me.
We didn't talk about it.
It's my fault, too.
I let it go on for two years.
Two years.
Without a single sweetheart.
It's amazing how one word can just
change a person's existence forever.
I wanted to hear you call me sweetheart.
Richard.
Thank God.
They must
want to keep me alive.
What do you mean?
Well think about it.
They put us in a motel room
with locks on the doors.
That's too far to walk for help.
So if I woke up and I wandered
off, I would surely die.
And then there's the ice here.
They wanted to bring my fever down.
They want me to survive.
Why else lug in all that ice.
Jane, they're coming back for us.
What?
They're going to take something else.
No.
They must've heard us
arguing at the resort.
At the resort?
Yeah.
Look at us.
We made ourselves targets.
We show up to a foreign country,
and we were throwing money
around like we're big shots
while people in this country starve.
We argue about our first world problems
while they're making a
dollar a day to serve coffee
to assholes like us.
They see everything.
They hear everything.
What does a kidney go for?
5000?
$10,000
Probably feed a family here for a year
and here we are flaunting.
They see you.
You're beautiful.
Fit.
We both are, we're fit, we're healthy.
They can only assume that our
organs are in top condition.
We were targets the moment
we stepped off that plane.
Never apologized.
For cheating?
Yes.
I'm sorry that it had to come to this,
that we had to get abducted
and I had to get butchered
for us to actually be talking about it.
Stop it.
What do you want me to do?
Nothing is ever as your fault is it?
Jane.
I'm bleeding again!
Richard, move.
I need to see.
Richard, I need to see.
Take them off.
Okay.
There's massive internal bleeding.
He must've clipped something.
If we don't fix that right
now, you're gonna die.
We don't have a lot of time.
I need you to listen to my
instructions very carefully.
Richard, we have to get in
there and fix the incision.
Cauterize whatever he did wrong.
What the hell's the point?
We're gonna survive this, Richard.
Even if it's not together.
We're gonna get through this.
What do I do?
We need to cut you
back open and get inside.
Oh, that's not gonna happen.
Richard, if we don't
do it, you're gonna die.
Okay, in a matter of minutes, we have to.
How do I do that?
Remove the stitches, drain the blood,
somehow cauterized the
wound and stitch it back up.
Are you fucking kidding me?
Richard, you have to do this.
All right, all right.
Okay.
Okay, is there any codeine left?
Uh.
One.
Take it.
Okay, okay.
In my purse, there's a
sewing kit and some tampons.
We're going to need
something to cauterize,
can you jury rig something?
Okay, yeah, good.
You're gonna need
something to bite down on.
Oh, oh.
Okay.
Okay.
I got it.
Listen to me very carefully.
You need to thread the needle first.
If you don't do it now, you're
going to be in so much pain,
you're not going to be
able to do it later.
Okay, there should be some
plastic thread in there.
Don't use the normal thread.
It will tear through your skin
like a fish hook through flesh.
It's clear.
Okay, I got it.
Okay.
Thread the needle.
Don't forget to tie it off.
All right, now take the nail clippers,
cut the end of the
stitches where the knot is.
Cut along all the incisions
until they're all severed.
Okay.
Okay, here goes everything?
Okay breathe.
Breathe, Richard, breathe.
We can't have you passing out?
Okay, good, good.
Grab the tampons, use that
to clear the blood out
from the wound.
Okay.
Okay, all right, now
here comes the hard part.
You should be able to see
where the blood is pouring out.
We have to cauterize that
location, burn it closed.
It's not gonna take a lot
of heat, but it's gonna hurt
unlike anything you've ever felt.
Oh God, I hate you!
Richard, Richard!
Damn it, Richard!
Okay, okay, did you get it?
Okay, good, good, okay.
We're not done yet, we have to sew you up.
I can't.
Okay, put pressure on it.
I can't.
Come on, stay with me.
Come on, hurry.
Do a cross stitch.
Okay, it'll keep the wound closed.
Come on, Richard, you can do this.
Stay with me, just a few more stitches.
It's too much.
It's too much, I can't.
Focus on my voice.
You can do this.
You fucking bastards!
Okay.
Okay, okay, okay, did you get it?
Yeah, oh my God, oh my God.
I'm so proud of you Richard.
Okay, okay.
We gotta get you into that tub.
Okay, the ice is going to
bring down the swelling
and your fever.
Come on, come on, Richard.
Richard, don't pass out.
Get into that bathtub, come on, come on.
Okay, good.
Good, Richard, good, okay.
You're gonna stay in there
until the police come.
I love you.
Hello, Adventure Excursions?
Kaliya, I need to speak with Kaliya.
There is no Kaliya here.
I was supposed to call
for a man named Kaliya
if I needed something to be taken care of.
I was supposed to call
it eight o'clock sharp.
I'm sorry, you have the wrong number.
Hello.
Mrs. Carson.
Doctor.
Sorry, Dr. Carson.
Before I go into my sales pitch,
there's something I
need you to understand.
It's not that I don't get why people
want to kill each other.
I just feel the need to inform them
that there are other ways.
You're both adults.
Have you tried therapy
or a puppy or something?
What?
You'd be surprised at how
many people change their minds
based on that statement alone.
Me, I wish somebody gave me options
before I got into this line of work.
I like to extend the
courtesy to my clients.
This is the chance to change your mind.
No, no, I want to do it.
Okay, very well.
We can help you with that, but
before you go down this road,
you have to understand that
there was no going back.
This is not a game.
There is no undo button.
Do you understand that?
Yes, I do.
All right.
I don't need to know why.
Just the particulars.
The three W's, who, where, when?
My husband, I need it done sometime
before our vacation is over.
I was gonna order a day trip
to the Shanta Magos temple.
Maybe we could get it done there?
I'm gonna walk you through
how this is going to be done.
You cannot show any connection
to me or my organization.
Okay.
Did you bring a burner
phone like I directed?
Yeah, yeah, I'm using it now.
Good, did you bring 5,000 American?
Yes, I have it in an envelope.
All right, go
Look to your left.
Hand the envelope to the man in the hat.
Done.
Got it.
Good.
Okay, now that you have your money,
how do I know that going
to go through with it?
I don't know what else to
tell you except you're going
to have to trust us.
Do you want a receipt for your taxes?
No, I get it.
Now, do you have a photo or
some video of your husband?
Ah, yes, on my other phone.
You know what, just
take a photo of yourself
and send it to us.
When you and your husband
are out and about,
we'll take care of everything.
You should be getting a text message now.
Send that photo to that address.
Okay.
Now just go about
your vacation normally.
Okay.
Now, Dr. Carson, if
there are any complications
or questions, do not call us.
We'll send you a text message.
Got it!
All right. Doctor Carson.
This should be the last time we talk.
All right.
Kaliya, I need to speak with Kaliya.
This is Dr. Carson.
Dr. Carson, I thought
I told you never to call.
Something has gone horribly wrong.
We were on the resort
and we were abducted.
We're being held.
They're going to kill us.
I know our arrangement, but I
don't know who else to call.
I need you to help me.
Nothing's gone wrong.
This is all part of the
service you paid for.
What?
This isn't what I wanted.
I never agreed to harvesting his organs.
Call this off.
Dr. Carson, you know I can't do that.
I made that perfectly clear.
I've changed my mind.
I don't want to go through with it.
The gears are in motion.
It's too late.
How much?
Dr. Carson, unfortunately
the people I do business with,
they've already made arrangements.
You weren't supposed to torture him.
This was supposed to be clean.
I remember making no such promise.
Dr. Carson, I run a business.
I'm fulfilling several
clients' needs at once.
I already have bidders
for your husband's organs.
You were suppose to
kidnap him and kill him.
It was supposed to look like an accident.
Why am I here?
Oh, well that's all part of the story.
See, if you go to the police
about your missing husband,
a suspicion will be raised.
You'll be brought in for questioning.
You're not a strong woman, Dr. Carson.
You'll be put into situations
with the bright lights.
Ah!
you'll reveal who I am,
what our organization is.
I won't, I swear.
Yeah, you will.
But if you and your
husband are both kidnapped
and through a sad turn of
events, your husband dies,
but you somehow miraculously escape.
Huh, that's a different story.
Yeah, you'll be drugged
and bruised up a bit,
but you'll be above suspicion.
They'll still ask you questions,
but they won't be looking
for that lie behind your eyes.
This is sick.
No, no more sick than
you hiring our organization
to dispose of your husband.
I don't want to go through with this.
What do I need to do?
You don't understand.
Your husband's organs
have already been sold.
People's blood types have
already been matched up to his.
He's going to save lives.
Ha, you know that scene in the
movie where someone's dying,
and they need a heart
transplant and one shows up
just in the nick of time?
Oh my God, that's us, that's what we do!
We show up just in the nick of time!
You're taking his heart.
It's worth $100,000.
We have people ready to purchase them.
I'm not talking black market either.
I'm talking about hospitals
in your good old US of A.
The chief surgeons bid for them.
We've even sold several to
your hospital. Dr. Carson.
St Paul's.
My hospital.
We do our homework.
We can't take the chance that somebody
will change their mind and
then talk to the authorities.
I can't go through with this.
What do you want me to do?
This isn't a game. Dr.
Carson, you called us!
I made the terms absolutely clear
and then you agreed to them.
I didn't agree to watch!
Ah, that's an unfortunate circumstance.
Wait, is that the only reason
your changing your mind?
Did you find somebody else to pay off
that huge gambling debt of yours?
From what you told me,
if you don't pay it off,
you're as good as dead.
I love him.
It's a little too late for love.
It's never too late for love.
That's a beautiful sentiment.
I think you should spend
these last few hours
with your husband thinking
about all the reasons
you love him.
At least you'll have that.
I'm sorry, Dr. Carson, I can't help you.
Hello, hello, hello!
He woke up.
Yes, he woke up.
You didn't give him enough sedative.
What happened here?
He ripped his stitches
and he and his wife
had to put him back together.
They said it was internal bleeding.
He opened himself up and
soldered his own wounds shut.
This does not bode well for you, doctor.
My God, the poor man.
He's alive.
Must've passed out from the pain.
I still expect you to deliver
what you said you would.
I did deliver.
From where I'm standing,
if it wasn't for the quick
thinking actions as the wife,
we'd be down a heart.
I'm sorry.
If you can't do the job
then we will find someone who can.
No, I know I can do the job.
You know what?
Maybe it was a mistake
trusting you with this
in the first place.
No, no, I can do it
After all, it was you who came to us
to dispose of the man
who killed your wife.
And for that, I'm grateful.
It was you who couldn't
pay off the remainder.
If you have $10,000 on you
right now, you can leave.
I don't.
Crimes of
passion are the worst.
People never think about the
consequences of their actions.
How many more before I'm paid off?
We'll tell you.
But if you botch this operation
up like you did the kidney,
you'll have cost our organization
more than you can afford.
I understand.
Oh good, I'm glad we
have an understanding.
Can I get Carl to help me?
I mean, this is very difficult to do.
I want you to look
at today as Christmas Day
and you're a kid and in front
of you is a large present.
Except if you break this present,
you're gonna pay for it with your life.
I don't envy the position you're in.
May God have mercy on your soul.
Please, he's my husband.
You caused this.
Please.
I've got my own problems.
You gave an oath.
Once.
I'm not a doctor anymore.
Hardly even a man.
You don't have to do this.
Why did you help them fix my mistake?
You knew he was just going to die anyway.
He's my husband.
I didn't want to see him suffer.
Well, you prevented nothing.
I can pay off your debt.
You won't be able to.
Neither of us'll be alive long enough.
This is the way the
world ends, Dr. Carson.
Not with a bang with a whimper.
Just as long as I saw Boris Takas dead.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
That's who I hired to kill my husband.
You're working for the wrong people!
You foolish woman.
It was who I was put
onto, the Cali cartel.
Then why did you try to save him?
They are torturing
him in front of my eyes.
I don't want to see that.
I don't hate him that much.
What, so you just had a change of heart?
That's right.
I was given Takas's, number
and he put me onto Kaliya.
I had to pay them $5,000.
Then why kidnap you?
Apparently it puts me above
suspicion to the police.
They've played you, Doctor,
just like they've played me.
You think that you're paying off your debt
because they've killed your arch enemy.
You're just working for the same man.
I work for. Alexander Dobrez.
No, no, they lied to you.
You've never even questioned it
because you were so blind with revenge.
You're wrong!
Think about it.
Did you see it happen?
Do you have proof?
Hey, you're here to do a job.
It's done.
How do you know?
I have proof!
Yes.
Give him to me.
Hello?
What are you doing?
The heart.
Why would you listen to her?
She doesn't know anything.
Is it true?
Of course it's not true.
Is it true?
I want you to listen to me.
You are there to do a job.
If you don't want to do it, you pay.
Do you understand?
Yes.
Now hand me to Carl.
Yes.
Go into the other
room and kill that bitch.
Yes.
I'm sorry.
This is bad.
Shut up, Philip.
What are you going to
do now, motherfucker?
This changes nothing.
We've already made a phone
call and another surgeon
will be on his way.
This time, I'll make sure he kills you.
Let's call this off.
Let's end this.
Mr. Carson, you know I can't do that.
What you have is way too valuable.
Oh fine, then I'll just
kill myself right now.
Yeah, you do that.
You know we have your
wife as collateral, right?
She can easily step in
and take your place.
I'd like to see you try that.
I've got a gun now.
Mr. Carson, we know
you have no more bullets.
So by my calculations, you've done nothing
to prevent the events
of today from happening.
In fact, you've helped us.
That surgeon, I didn't really trust him.
He was too desperate.
We have a replacement on his way here now.
You've lost.
You should just accept your destiny.
What's your name?
I'm not gonna tell you my name.
Oh, come on.
I'm all bled out.
I'm next to dead, and you're
still too much of a coward
to tell them in the
name of my executioner,
It's Kaliya.
Well, fuck you. Kaliya.
You are excellent and
Resourceful man, Richard Carson.
Under different circumstances.
I would want to know you.
I think you're a piece of shit.
I can totally see why you'd think that.
I've already called the cops.
You want to play with the big boys?
I own this town.
You think you saved yourself?
You just managed to get
a couple of cops killed.
They're gonna be here.
You think this is some kind of game.
I will kill you and rip
your fucking throw it out
and then I'll do the same for your wife.
You're a monster!
Only compared to some.
You would kill an
innocent man and his wife.
It was your wife that did
this to you, Mr. Carson.
Oh, that's a lie!
Oh, I'm lying, I'm lying, I'm a liar.
Listen, I'd go willingly
if you just let her go.
You're in no position to bargain.
Do you know who's getting them?
What?
Come on Kaliya, who's getting them?
Your heart is going to a
man with a family of four.
He won't know where it came from.
Tomorrow, he'll get a
phone call from his doctor
telling him that they found an organ donor
and that you were in a car accident
and that your blood types are a match.
He'll get to see his children grow up.
Your kidney, that's going to a woman who,
for her entire adult life, has
been on a dialysis machine.
You'll be giving her a new lease on life.
To these people you'll be a hero.
They sound like good people.
The kind of people that, if
they knew where these organs
were coming from, they'd rather die.
You might be right, Mr. Carson,
but people turn a blind eye.
We use a licensed harvester and
nobody knows the difference.
Richard, what did he say?
It's gonna be all right.
Said he's going to let us go.
Really?
Yeah.
We've already brought too much attention
to him and his organization.
He doesn't want that.
The cops'll be here in a few minutes.
He can't risk it.
Really, he's going to let us go?
Yeah.
That's great.
That's great, oh my God!
What are you doing?
Nothing.
Hello, you marvelous bastard, you.
Richard, when the police come,
everything will be different.
I want a real marriage.
I want to start over.
I know.
I know.
I know, I feel the same way.
But what about your debt?
No, it doesn't matter.
We'll make it work.
You know, we'll sell the house.
It doesn't matter.
As long as I'm with you,
that's all I care about.
There is one thing I need
to discuss with you, Jane.
What is that?
Exactly how much was my life worth?
What?
How much was the pay out?
How much did you pay them?
How much am I worth?
Richard, you got it all wrong.
Do I?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You're paranoid.
You know, I can understand after all
that you've been through.
Can't even be straight
with me, huh Jane?
You're in shock, okay.
You don't know what you're saying.
That Kaliya piece of shit,
he said that you hired him.
His number's on your phone, Jane.
It's on both of their phones,
and it's on your phone.
So I'm gonna ask you one more time,
exactly how much is my life worth?
I owe money, Richard.
More than I know?
Close to a million.
How?
The stock market.
How much is my insurance policy worth?
Richard...
How much is my insurance policy worth?
A million dollars.
Well, that's fucking great!
How much did you pay that
asshole Kaliya to kill me?
Five.
5,000?
$5,000, Jane?
Everything we were, thrown
away for 5,000 fucking dollars.
I know, I'm sorry.
Our mortgage payment's more than that.
I know.
That God awful statue
in the front hallway
is worth more than that.
I know, I know, I'm sorry, all right?
I'm such a fucking idiot.
Listen, I would do it
differently if I could, you know.
I tried to change his mind,
and he wouldn't have any of it.
Take my place.
What?
Take my place.
Go instead of me.
Uh, the police are almost here.
Come on, you created this mess.
You are the only one who
can change the outcome.
Now take my place.
And if they don't show up,
show me how penitent you are.
How much really love me.
Take my place.
No, no, no, no, no Richard,
it doesn't work like that.
Why not?
You are just as good a candidate as I am.
Pick up the phone.
Call him and tell him
that you want to volunteer
instead of me.
Haven't you've done enough damage?
Stop it.
You fucked up, Jane.
You hired them.
You got yourself in debt.
You made this marriage fail,
and at the end of it all,
you're the murderer.
No, no!
Dr. Carson, I grow tired...
Take me!
This is highly unusual.
Oh, just just, just take me,
just take me instead.
Do you want me to talk you out of this?
Is that what this is?
Fine, think of the future.
If your husband dies,
where does that leave you?
Dead as well.
I am offering you a chance
at a different future.
There's only one logical outcome to this.
Just hang up the phone.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I see.
Hello.
Margaret Parks.
You don't know me and
what I'm about to tell you
may seem very hard to believe,
but I need you to listen
to me very carefully.
If this is some kind of prank,
I'm really not in the mood.
No ma'am, no, this is not a prank.
My name is Richard Carson.
I'm from Syracuse, New York.
I was on vacation with my wife in India,
and we were abducted.
I think they're coming
back for us so they can
harvest my organs and sell
them to the highest bidder.
They already took my kidney.
If this is this is some kind of joke,
I'm really not interested.
Please, please don't hang up.
This is not a joke.
The reason I'm calling
you is because in the room
they're keeping me, I found a note
from your husband, Jonathan,
dated 1997.
Jonathan.
Is Jonathan your husband?
1997.
That was the year he disappeared.
He uh, he left a note
asking me to contact you.
How can you be calling me
if you're being held hostage?
I managed to get a phone.
Look, I don't have much time.
They're coming back for me.
I need to read you something.
Call the police!
Get some help!
Oh, I did, I did.
They're on their way, thank you.
Now I need to tell you about your husband.
Do you want to hear the note he left you?
Yes.
Margaret, I fear the last
words that ever came out
of our mouths were curse words
and then when I stormed out
of our room, I never thought
it would be the last time
we saw each other.
I want to tell you that
I'm sorry for everything
and that I never stopped loving you.
I was taken by some men and I don't know
what they want from me.
I know I won't survive until morning.
Oh God!
I want you to know that my
last thoughts were of you.
I love you.
That's all it says.
Thank you, Richard.
I.
I don't know what to say.
Jonathan was a lucky man
then, to have someone like you,
someone to leave a note behind for.
Mm-hm,
We were on vacation.
We were pregnant.
I was just about to tell
him, and he lost money
in the casino.
I yelled at him.
He didn't know why.
I didn't want him to keep wasting money.
That's the last time I saw him.
I needed you to know
the truth, Margaret.
Goodbye Margaret.
Richard, what are you doing?
Oh!
Richard, talk to me.
I'm gonna do it.
Go to hell.
I'm gonna take your place.
It's too late, Jane.
You can't.
I will.
Richard, do you hear that?
We're saved.
We're in here!
We're in here!
No, no!
No!
Oh my God, oh my God!
Dr. Carson.
Due to unforeseen circumstances,
I now need your help.
Wow, that happened.
I need you to perform the surgery.
What?
See, you're a doctor.
I'm sure you have a better
idea of what to do than me.
No.
I'm not asking.
I won't.
Oh.
Oh, it's okay.
It's all right.
That's all right.
It's all right.
I understand.
It's so much.
It's all right, it's okay.
There's already been so much death.
Mr. Carson, don't do anything stupid.
There's no reason to
upset the flow of things.
Prep him for surgery.
No!
Do it!
Hurry.
Come with me.
Dr. Carson, do this
for me and I'll make sure
nobody finds out it was you
You can have a whole new life.
One million dollars, Dr. Carson.
How many more until I'm done?
We'll tell you.
What's an eight letter word
for a breach of loyalty?
Betrayal.
