"Do you know astronauts can't cry in space because there's no gravity?" "I do know that." "Anton, we're here." "Indeed we are." "Indeed we are." "_" "Remember, our corporate offices are in New York if you need anything." "And, uh, I programmed the Jensen's number into your phone." "Remember they live on the park and they have that boy that you beat at tennis out on the Cape." "We're working with Homes for Humankind to build houses in New York." "I don't think I'm going to need the corporate offices or the Jensen's phone number, but thank you." "I'm your mother, Amber." "I get to worry." "Now, what are the 3 "be"s." "You are aware that I'm 16?" "I make my executives say it." "And they are a lot older than you." "Be careful, be smart, be curious." " Do you have enough money?" " I'm fine, Mom." "Here." "Take this." "I'm fine, Mom." "Really." "Well you'll be $20 better than fine when you take this." " Mom, I'm not going to take it." " Ian." "Yes, Miss Gibson." "Can you take this $20 and spend it on my daughter please." "Sure thing, Miss Gibson." "What?" "She's my elder." "I'm respecting her elderness." "Beth Ann, isn't that your father?" "What they hell is he doing here?" "I'm afraid there's nothing I can do about that." "I arranged to be the chaperone on this school trip and they're counting on me." "Beth Ann, they're counting on me." "Oh, so now suddenly you care that someone is actually counting on you?" "Listen, this school gives us generous tuition support." "The least I can do is help out when I can." "You are embarrassing your daughter." " You see that don't you, Thomas?" " I..." "I only get her one weekend a month and Beth Ann, this is my weekend." "I only get you one weekend..." "And she doesn't talk to you then." "You're going to show her up in front of all of her friends." "Enough." "You get on the bus, you don't talk to me, you don't look at me!" "Enough." "You get on the bus, you don't talk to me, you don't look at me." "You won't..." "I'll see you in a few days." "Agent Hurst?" "Yes, Kyle." "Who's this guy?" "This is Agent Marcus Finley." "Agent Finley, this is Kyle Devore." "Pleased to meet you, Kyle." "Where's Valens?" "Agent Valens is sick." "He's got the flu." "Finley, huh?" "I've never seen you before." "Well, this is Agent Finley's first day on the perimeter side." "You'd take a bullet for me, right?" "I was trained to protect your life." "I wouldn't be here if I weren't." "Well, welcome to brat patrol." "No signal." "No signal." "No signal." "Signal." "And, no signal." "Mark it here please." "So much for nationwide coverage, huh?" "Yeah, no one's getting a message outta here today." "♪ Hail to the chief ♪" "***" "Oh yeah, that's great." "That's great, Luke, thanks." "Okay, now that we're all here, let's go." "I want to thank you for putting me in the car today." "I've been standing outer perimeter for the last 18 months." "Don't thank me." "Valens got the flu." "You were just at the top of the pile." "So you want to get on Amber Fitch." "Everyone wants to get on Amber Fitch." "Videogame looks, class president, oh so nice." "Damn, sometimes I want to get on Amber Fitch." "I'd sketch that, but I'd probably have to watch... for perspective." "The thing is, Ian, people like us, we're invisible to Amber Fitch." "Invisibility is a superpower." "Maybe she's into superheroes." "Oh it's... it's just one at a time in there." "I don't think so, Mr. Gibson." "We're stopping for lunch soon." "Send the lead car up ahead to secure the restaurant." "Copy that." "Mobile 7 to Mobile 8." "Go for 8." "Move ahead to secure the restaurant." "Copy." "Ian, I've been thinking." "What if I didn't come back from New York?" "I'll just slip away on one of those dumb tours and they'll never find me." "What's to come back here for?" "I brought all my birthday money." "$381." "Come with me." "Come on, superhero." "Beth Ann, are you being serious?" "No." "Just messing with you." "Hello?" "Hello?" "What the hell?" "The troopers have a roadblock out here, we're supposed to be informed." "Yes, we are." "What's going on?" "United States Secret Service agents." "We have a protectee on that bus." "I'm going to reach inside my jacket and get my identification now." "We know who you are." "We talked to the agents in that other SUV." "We got a downed power line up the road, so I'm gonna have to ask you to hold up here for a little while." "Why didn't the other car radio us?" "Have you spoke to the other agents in person or over the radio?" "Movement!" "Hurst?" "Worst first day ever, huh bitch?" "It's okay." "Shh, shh, shh." "It's okay, it's okay." "They're only gonna want the president's kid." "Open the door!" "Go, go." "In 15 seconds, a truck is going to pull up." "You are going to get off this bus and onto that truck." "Anyone who does anything different from that, will end up like that man out there." "They want all of us." "Coming through." "Keep coming." "Come on." "Out!" "Come on, come on." "Hurry up." "Let's go." "Move!" "All the way to the truck." "Straight line." "Straight line." "Move." "Let's go, let's go." "Move." "Let's go, let's go." "Come on." " Keep moving." " Move." "Get on the truck." "Go!" "Hey kid, let's go!" "Time to move." "On your feet." "What'd I tell you?" "Which one was it?" "Little fat one." "Anton Roth." "We need that one." "I need you to handle it." "Sit down!" " You have to run." " I am running." "You have to run faster." "This is as fast as I run." "I have a very short stride." "You have to stop crying." " What's your name?" " Anton." "You have to stop crying, Anton." "That sound will carry." "I can't stop crying, because I'm afraid." "And you tell me why to stop, and it makes me more afraid." "And the Secret Service agents?" "Two still missing." "This one, Albert Hurst, been with the Secret Service 18 years." "Guy's a legend in the service." "Runs the protective detail for the president's son." "He put this man, Agent Marcus Finley, a rookie, in his car this morning." "Hurst rerouted the bus just before departure, sends the lead Secret Service SUV ahead just before the attack, then" "2 minutes after the attack, called in an all-ok to Secret Service dispatch." "So Hurst worked this from the inside, maybe the rookie too." "We lock Secret Service out of this investigation." "We give them nothing." "I can brief the President." "I want you out at the school." "We're getting the parents together and I want you on that." "Your master of the universe sister is there, right?" "Her daughter was on that bus and..." "And I don't want to hear any of your too emotionally close to do your job clearly crap because your niece is on that bus." "Those parents out there don't respect authority, because they think they are the authority." "We need them to open up and your sister gives us access." "We're not on speaking terms, sir." "Now you are." "That's an order." "The President will be up in 10 seconds." "This is a secure communication link." "Beth Ann." "Beth Ann." "Beth Ann." "Beth Ann." "There you go." "You're okay." "I think they gave us some sort of tranquilizer, but the... the effect is wearing off." "It's okay." "You're okay." "Where is Ian?" "Hey." "Everybody here?" "No." "Anton is missing." " Why would they take Anton?" " They didn't." "That man who was shot took him." "We were already on the truck, but I saw him take Anton." "Finley?" "The new guy." "Hurst shot Finley." "He just shot him." "That is so messed up." "Alright, let's just try to stay calm." " Stay calm?" " My mouth hurts." "Dude, are you at all aware of what's going on?" "The guy who's supposed to protect Kyle shot the other guy who's supposed to protect Kyle." "Then, we got dosed." " Does anyone else's mouth hurt?" " Mr. Nash is right, Luke." " Panic isn't gonna help anyone." " I think you can stop being president of the class now." "Does anyone else's mouth hurt?" "Oh my God!" "Mr Nash, what did they do to us?" "Please, let's try to stay calm." "Heck with that." "I'm outta here." "You did really good, Anton." "No signal." "We gotta find a clearing." "Read." "Out loud." "This will all be over in four days." "No one will be hurt." "Food and drinks will be provided for you." "If there are any special dietary needs, please speak up." "You may use any of the rooms on the first floor of this house." "The doors and windows have been sealed and alarmed." "And the rooms are monitored and your phones have been taken." "You may gather in groups of no more than five people." "Some of your parents have had tra... some of your parents have had tracking devices implanted under your skin or in your t... teeth." "We have removed these devices." "We tried to be as careful as possible." "If you need something for the pain, please raise your hand and something will be brought to you." "As you can tell from the way you were taken, we are professionals." "We know what we are doing and will get you all home safely if you respect that." "If you do not respect that, we are also very comfortable with the use of force." "Are there any questions?" "Is there a bathroom I can use?" "Sorry." "... and whoever is responsible would have to have had access to inside information" " from within the Secret Service." " Fitch." " ... you know, that..." " Miss Fitch." "Yes." "We're nine minutes from the school." "The pilot is saying that the airspace has since been closed to commercial traffic." "We can't land there." "What do you want to do?" "Put down on the soccer field I paid for." "What are they gonna do, shoot me?" " Are you going to die?" " No." "How come it went through the vest?" "There's a small space on the side, inbetween the fasteners where the bullet went." "Where my rib caught it, it's a lot of blood, but it's nothing serious." "Why did your partner shoot you?" "I don't know." "Did he ever do anything before, to make you think he might one day shoot you?" "I just met him this morning." "How old are you anyway?" "12." "I skipped a grade." "Why did you just meet him this morning?" "This is my first day on Kyle Devore's detail." " Whose were you on before that?" " No one's." "This is my first day on any detail." "You're a newbie." "There's a man or men with guns tracking us through the woods and you're a newbie." " We're going to die, aren't we?" " Listen," "I'm a fully trained Secret Service agent." "I was a D.C. cop for three years before that." "You are not gonna die." "I will get you home, okay?" "Okay." "We now know from a highly placed source that the son of the president was" " on the bus." " The son of the Chinese ambassador, Rial, was on that bus." "Look, whatever's between us is between us." "Today, let's just pretend like we like each other." "Or at the very least, like I'm just a parent and you're just an FBI agent." "So what do you need from me?" "To take me into your world." "Let's go." "Is it true that the Secret Service agents might be involved?" "I can't tell you that." "Some of the parents had GPS trackers implanted into their children." "The trackers aren't responding." "What does that mean?" "It means whoever did this, knows exactly what they're doing." "Now look Susie, all these people in here are used to being first in line." "So get ready, because they're all gonna want answers, and there will be no line." "I think I can handle it." "We understand, we understand how distressing this is, but we are here to help you and I can assure you that ev..." "Look, I know you all have questions and I know you're used to getting answers, but" "I have none for you." "The agents you see are passing out recollection prompts." "Fill these out." "They will help you remember every phone call and text, every conversation, the car behind you at the lights, the man next to you at Starbucks, the neighbors across the street, the woman at your front door selling magazines." "Each of you will have an FBI agent assigned to you." "If you have information that you believe to be relevant, tell them now." "If not, I need you to start thinking and fill these out." "Thank you." "We all know which kid you want to find." "He lives in that big house on Pennsylvania Avenue and I know this recollection prompt is crap." "Just fill it out." "Do what the agent says and fill the damn things out." "There's five here already." " I can move." " No, it's okay." "Sure." "Fine." "It's okay." "We're going to die because of him." "He's the reason they took us, right?" "And when his dad sends the troops to rescue him, which one of us do you think they're gonna make sure gets out of here alive?" "Perfect, they can put "collateral damage" under my yearbook picture." "You think this is because of me, Liao?" "I wasn't even supposed to be here." "My dad was going to some summit in Ireland and I was going with him, but it got cancelled two days ago." "You think you put all this together in two days?" "This house?" "Those cameras?" "What happened on that bus?" "In two freakin' days?" "I don't know what this is about, but it isn't about me." "You can go sit over there if you want." "Sorry." "You don't have to be." "I was just thinking about Amber's mom." " And that's just weird." " Seriously." "She's what, like the CEO of some billion dollar multinational corporation, right?" "Yeah." "And her friend sitting next to her, her dad runs a big company too." "His mom works for the UN." "His dad's the captain of some aircraft carrier." "Her parents are actual royalty." "Kyle isn't the only one with a powerful parent with a kid worth taking." "Yeah." "And your company, any enemies there that might benefit from this?" "We are a multinational I.T. corporation." "We sell to governments, armed forces and businesses here and abroad." "I have 350,000 employees, so to answer your question, yes, I have enemies." "Most everyone else here does too." "Are you just going to ask me about my business, Susie?" "That's how I do my job." "Well, you are tougher than I remember." "It's been a long time." "Well, you're tougher than me." "I'm not sure how much longer I can keep this up." "Not today." "Maybe one of us should just say it." "One of us should just say the words." "ook, I know you wrote that book," "Seven Paths to Success." "And I know that "clarity" is one of them, so for clarity," "I am here to find your daughter Amber." "To find all their kids, that is why I'm here and I think..." "I think I should question one of the other parents, okay?" "I'll get you a different agent." "Excuse me." "Yeah?" "We might have caught a break with the parents' chaperone." "Thomas Gibson." "He's ex-CIA, an analyst." "A friend over there checked his file for me and said that Gibson applied to go over to Ops, but never made it through." "Couldn't handle the physical aspects." "Which I'm guessing means he was soft." "But he's smart." "He knows the drill." "He'll try to make contact, so" " see what you can find out about him." " Got it." "Thomas Gibson, you know him?" "Yeah, he's a dad at school." "Is he our hero?" "No way." "You can be brave." "You..." "You can be brave." "You can be... you can be brave." "You can be..." "You can be brave." "What about your dad, Beth Ann?" "What's he do?" " Uh, he's unemployed." " Oh right, tuition relief." "You and Ian both." "That must suck." "I used to think it sucked." "Then I got kidnapped at gunpoint." "Mr. Nash, as long as today might be our last, I've got to tell you, the time you did Miss Kaley in the locker room," "I kinda saw you." "I don't know what you're talking about, Luke." "I'm talking about the time you tapped the hot chem teacher." "Luke, what you saw, adult emotions are... complicated." "Beth Ann, listen." " I have a plan." " A plan?" "What kind of plan?" "A plan to get you out of here." "I've been tracking them." "One of them comes through about every 90 minutes." "He just walks through and leaves." "Beth Ann, they've already identified me as weak, so they're not going to be expecting it." "Expecting what?" "For me to take his gun and hold the others off for a while." "You need to get outside." "The government will have realtime satellites tracking us." "A group of kids on the lawn will trigger a red flag." "They will see you." "And they'll send help." "It's crazy." "They'll kill you." "Yes, but not you." "For some reason, they want you kids alive." "For now." "I don't want you doing this for me." "I remember the last time you were happy." "Your 11th birthday." "Yeah, I was." "I was very happy." "Until I blew the candles out." "After that, all you did was make Mom cry." "Someday, I hope you understand what happened to our family." "But now, just get everyone on the lawn." "Still no reception." "We gotta get higher." "He's here." "We have to keep running." "Out the back door into the woods." "No." "No, we can't run." "Even if we got a call out, they'd never get here in time." "I can run, I promise." "I'll run faster, I will." "I know you would." "But that man out there is the only connection to the people who took your friends." "They're not my friends, really." "If we get away from him, that connection is gone." "If rescue comes and it scares him away, that connection is gone." "But, you promised to get me home." "I will get you home, Anton." "But I need to get the others home, too." "So I need to take him." "You're one of those people who can will himself to do things." "I go to school with a lot of kids like that." "I'm not one of those kids." "Today, you are." "Hey!" "I got a deal for ya." "Give me the kid and I'll let you live." "Or I come in there, kill you and take the kid anyway." " Don't let him take me." " I won't." " He's going to come in here." " I know." "I'll stop him." "You don't even have a gun." "I don't even need one, Anton." "How 'bout this instead?" "I kill you," "I keep this kid." "Then I go and get the rest of his classmates back." "Stop it." "Stop it." "Stop it." "He broke the rules!" "Beth Ann!" "Bring me my book." "Want a painkiller?" "No, I want an update." "... along with the Secret Service SUV that was part of the protection detail." "Why isn't your brother back by now?" "All the parents are accounted for, except for Morgan Roth." "His kid is Anton." "His wife hasn't heard from him." "She's called, but he won't pick up." "He works at Breakey Communications." "It's a satellite TV company." "You would think with his kid missing he'd check in, right?" "Okay, Morgan Roth swiped his keycard in at one of his company's remote relay locations an hour ago." "Never swiped out." "I'm on my way there." "I need to get somewhere in a hurry and..." " I could use your help." " Do you have a lead?" "Right, you can't tell me." "My helicopter is on the soccer field." "Just tell the pilot where you want to go." " Thank you." " Susie, you remember the last thing you said to me?" "I said..." ""go to hell"." "You said something after that." "Smart." "Putting his finger on ice like that." "Smart." "That's what you put on all of my assessments, right?" "That I'm smart." "Miss Kaley?" "Amber." "Yes, I heard what it is, Mr. Nash." "Adult emotions are complicated." "Turns out, teenage ones are too." "How are you doing, Beth Ann?" "She won't talk." "How can anyone hope to get away with this?" "What agencies will be used?" "What resources?" "What hardware?" "What technologies?" "Bob?" "The answer, Richard, is everyone and everything." "Programs and technology will be brought into play that up until this moment have not been authorized for use on U.S. soil." "I can guarantee you, that somewhere," " something is being taken out of a box..." " Boss, they do have something else in the air." "It's seriously encrypted." "Some type of surveillance platform." "I can't hack into it." "If it's looking for us, there's no way I can stop it." "It's going to lead the FBI right to our door." "Did we miss a GPS locator in any of those children?" "We were thorough, but if it's small enough or a low emissions composite, it's possible." "I make 23 minutes before they have a lock on us." "Damn, that's right." "Three trillion dollars spent on high tech warfare over the last decade and now it's all aimed at you." "Something in your book for that?" "What's your little girl gonna be thinking about her daddy when he's sitting on death row?" "Maybe we should think about getting out of here?" "Why would we think about doing that?" "Just tell her how her father is." "Can you do that?" "Can you at least do that?" "Just come out here and tell Mr. Gibsons' daughter if her father is going to be okay." "Can you just be a human being." "So which one are you, Mr. Gibson?" "The one I saw out there, desperate for his daughter's love or the one in here with that computation book?" "That's no concern of yours." "What should concern you is that my daughter is not in here, and you are." "22 minutes." "There." "He's over there." "Enter the code I've sent you, into the system." " And what happens when I do?" " You will see your son again." "They think that they have control, Mr. Roth, but they don't." "Not anymore." "Push the button." "Do it, now." "Push the button." "Mr. Roth!" "Mr. Roth!" "Here to arrest me?" "Why?" " What have you done?" " I don't know." "_" "... the NSA ... the head of the National Council ..." "Go Anton, go now!" "Dude, what is your problem?" "Why couldn't you just lay on that road?" "I'm from the Ballard School." "Anton Roth." "I've been kidnapped." " Did you get him?" " Yeah." "I got him." " 911?" " Mm-hmm." " Did you tell him who you are?" " Mm-hmm." "I thought you weren't the type of person who wills himself to do things?" "Today, I guess I am." "Hello?" "You tell the FBI that we're gonna leave this line open so they can just go ahead and track us to here." "I took this walkie off that guy downstairs." "We're gonna have a little chat with whoever's on the other end." "Whomever... is on the other end." "This is Secret Service Agent Marcus Finley speaking to whomever's listening." "The man that you sent after us is dead." "You want to come for the body, just follow this signal." "Just before I killed him, he asked me what my problem was." "My problem is you took kids, children." "What type of person does that?" "A bug, a bug that needs to be stepped on." "And stopped." "You're my problem and now I'm yours." "He wasn't alive to hear the answer to that question, but I thought you'd want to know." "If he killed my brother," "I'm gonna make him hurt before I kill him." "Yes," "I am a bug." "I've always known that about myself." "But today, the bug is king." "Who was on the phone, Mr. Roth?" "Did they force you to do this?" "You just took out an unhackable classified drone." "Whoever is behind this has our playbook and they are using it against us." "I need to know who that is." "You kept these kids from being found." "Who was on the phone?" "They're coming." "They're coming." "Finley!" "They're here." "You did it." "You hear me?" "You did it." "Finley?" "Finley." "Hey." "No matter what happens next, Anton, I don't want you to worry about me." "Why?" "What's gonna happen to you?" "Anton, I'm a Secret Service agent." "And you lost the president's kid." "Naval Strike Group 3 and it's carrier, the U.S.S. John Stennis has been ordered to steam towards the east coast of the United States." "Hello?" "Thomas, sorry to get you at home." "No problem, boss." "What's going on?" "Thomas, the operation over there went sideways." "It's real bad." "What happened?" "How bad was it?" "They're all dead." "And your name was on the go order." "I didn't sign off on that." "I advised against that." "You know it." "Someone has to be sacrificed." "And we know you won't make trouble." "Goodbye, Thomas." " Bad news?" " No." "No, there's no news." "I, uh, I heard they found Anton." "And, uh, that Secret Service agent?" "I..." "I can't talk about that." "Then why are you here?" "I saw something today." "One of the parents did something he never would have done, because... he just wanted to see his kid." "I had to put a loving father in handcuffs, because he just wanted to see his kid." "And you just want to see your kid." "I know I said I never wanted to, but... today... now..." "I need to." "You were that age when you had her." "I'm not sure I was ever that young." "The last thing" "I said to you, was I asked you to take care of her." "And I did." "And now, you bring her home." "Hello?" "Meg Fitch, if you want to see your Amber again, you will keep this call to yourself and do as I tell you to." "You'll find a package under the front seat of your car." "And then now, you have access to the FBI building, you need to ask yourself right now, how far are you willing to go?" "What will you do for your child?"
