Whisper

Over here!

Where's that first-aid kit?

David?

Coming, Mom.

Hey, Sid!

Welcome back to the real world.

Come on, check this out.

Hey, you know what? Max, look, I gotta be honest with you.

You want to buy this place? I wouldn't even rob this place.

Yeah, but it's going to be all mine.

Ours.

Ours. Ours.

Look, just because you worked the kitchen on the inside,

doesn't mean that's your only option out here, okay?

No, Sidney, Max has a business plan. We've been working on menus.

Well, you know what? I got a business plan.

And it ain't got nothing to do with paper hats and napkins and nametags.

I'm done with all that shit, Sid.

Hey, look. I got this sweet gig in December with this guy named Jones.

We grab this little rich kid, big payday, everybody wins.

Don't listen to him. Okay?

You know what? It's a nice idea.

But think about it, Max. You got no money, no collateral.

No bank's going to touch you.

I'm going to do this, Sid.

Yeah, I'm sure you will.

I'll call you in a couple of weeks, okay? I mean it.

Get out of here.

It says here you've worked food service before.

I short-ordered in Quincy, Waltham, a few places in Newport.

And with a $50,000 loan,

you think you can resurrect the old Hazel Street diner, huh?

It's a corner shop, two busy streets, lots of foot and auto traffic.

Yes, Mr. Truemont, I've reviewed that.

It's not nothing,

but not really something, either.

How'd it go? Did you get it?

You know, Sid called.

I'm going to take that job, Rox. I got no place else to go.

Okay, sweetheart, I have to go set up for your party,

so Chloe will take over from here.

But I like it better when you do it.

Sandborn party?

Shazam!

Wasn't that great, guys?

It's beautiful, isn't it? Yeah.

Hey, don't you guys try this at home with your pets, now. Are you ready?

Let's see if we can make him vanish. One...

Santa!

Santa! Santa!

Whoa! Ho, ho, ho! One for everybody!

Wait! One for everybody!

Okay. Careful. All right. You, over here...

No fighting. Okay... Okay! Okay! Give me that, now.

Abracazam!

What do you want for Christmas, David?

What do you want, Santa?

Okay! Birthday cake time!

Chloe, do you know where David is?

No, I'm not sure.

David!

Oh, God.

I missed you, Sidney. And I don't mind the new haircut.

Still glad you came along?

Yeah. What are you doing here anyway, Yoko Ono?

I'm good with kids, Vince.

I got two. What do you want?

Two.

Hey. What the hell's that?

I must've missed one.

No shit. Don't matter. Here's our boy.

All right.

I hope he took the right one.

Sidney.

Take it easy.

He's stopping.

Is everything okay, guys?

Yeah. Just ran out of gas.

It's okay!

It's okay, we got it covered!

Bobby! Where the hell are you?

I got two flats on 128.

Bobby! For Christ's sake, I'm talking to your lazy ass!

Get over to Highway 1...

What did he see?

Probably nothing.

Not here.

Max, get the van. Let's go.

Why? Come on.

But...

He wouldn't have seen anything.

Take an ax.

You want me to wake up? You'll never wake up!

Ms. Sandborn? I'm Detective Whitley.

Do you think you'll find him?

Ma'am, as I said on the phone, we're pursuing all leads.

But the fact of the matter is, the kidnappers will probably call. They usually do.

Ms. Sandborn? Detective Miles.

Look, I know this is a very difficult time,

but I need a list of all your employees... - Miles.

Can I talk to you for a minute? Excuse me.

I got this covered, all right?

So you just watch, take some notes and see how we do things up here, okay, kiddo?

Thought this was a summer camp.

How the hell did you get your hands on this place?

The owner gave me a couple bucks to watch it till March.

Yeah.

Watch it what? Collapse?

We've all had our better days.

Come on, let's get him inside. It's not getting any warmer out here.

It's freaking freezing tonight.

All right.

Just gonna put this on you,

and then we'll get you inside where it's warm, okay, buddy?

All right.

All right. It's nothing. It's just the wind, buddy.

Get out of here!

What? It's just a dog.

God bless the Fifth Amendment.

Nothing to be scared of. You'll be okay, I promise. All right?

I have to go to the bathroom.

Well, you got your very own bathroom just inside.

Inside where? Where am I?

Don't worry about that, David.

Just work with us. Cooperate.

Hell, I don't know. Think of it as a game.

Are you going to hurt me?

No!

Relax, buddy.

I'll get you some ice cream later. Would you like that?

All right.

In you go.

You can take off your blindfold now, David.

Oh, you are a regular den mother.

Vince.

Sidney, if you'd have let me know, I could've brought my things, and then we could've...

You could have more channels than you'd know what to do with.

Can't even use cell phones.

Look, I know I don't have to warn you,

but don't go getting too attached to the kid, okay?

I got this.

I'll put us next to him.

Okay. Thanks.

Ah, oui, oui, poo-poo. What is this foreign shit?

We are near the border, Vince.

The border of what, Africa?

Let me in! Open the door!

Hey! There we go!

Hey, pal!

Man, all we need now is a pizza, we got ourselves one hell of an evening.

Hey! Den mother! You see a phone book?

Put it down.

Sure-fire way to leave a paper trail.

Oh, hi, Mom. Yeah, I'm in camp. I'm going to have a fun few days.

...what I wants, and I wants what I take!

Give me back my stuff!

He's gonna be fine.

I won't let anything happen to him, you know that.

Baby, I wish this was over.

It will be soon.

Bed time.

I found you this. Thought you might get cold.

Why are you wearing that?

Well, it's so you don't see who I am.

You try to get some sleep, okay?

Looks uncomfortable. I won't peek if you want to take it off.

Okay, but it has to be our secret.

Okay, I promise.

Midnight at the oasis

Send your camel to bed

Shadows painting our faces

Traces of romance in our head

Heaven's holding a half-moon

Smiling just for us

Let's slip off to a sand dune real soon

And kick up a little dust

You love me, Max?

Maybe.

We'll have the money to remove that if you hate it so much.

I can't remove it.

Cut off a scar, it just grows back bigger.

Baby, do you think we're bad people?

There's no commandment against kidnapping.

It's stealing, though.

It's not stealing.

We're borrowing.

The kid's mother pays Jones, David's back home tomorrow night.

Who is this Jones, anyway?

Doesn't matter. Sid deals with Jones.

We get our cut for snatching the kid and holding him.

They do the exchange and get the pay-off.

Yeah, everybody wins.

Everybody wins.

Kill Max!

Max.

What is it, baby?

Nothing. I'm sorry. I had a bad dream.

It's okay.

I'm hearing voices.

Would you check on David?
