Yes.
You like to watch, huh? Now I'm watching you.

Yes, all right.
I need him to run that plate right there, and I need an address like in the next hour.
This is gonna be the biggest favor I'm ever gonna ask of you.
Yeah, let me just plug my phone back in.
Hey, you can't do that.
Not until after I've left the room.
When was the last time you slept? Are you gonna help me or not? Yes.
Jesus! Yes, I'll help you.

Is that gunfire? No.
You're welcome again.
Shit.
He has your daughter.
Get her back.
You get her back right now.
Who is it? Frank.
It's, uh, Frank, from downstairs.

Wait, wait, wait, well actually, I actually need to talk to him, so if you can just Sorry, bad time.
Chad! Chad! Don't move! Don't, hold it! Nobody moves, neither one of you moves.
Hey, I'm not holdin' much, you can look for yourself.
Take whatever you want.
I'm not here to rob you, where is she? What? Don't you move! Down! Don't you do it.
Down, down.
Are you gonna shoot me? Yes, if you don't listen to me.
I don't think you're really gonna shoot me.
You just don't look like the type of guy that shoots a girl.
Actually, you don't look like the type of guy that shoots anyone.
So I'm just gonna go and let you two guys play.
Okay, all right Sit down! Sit down, sit down! Hey, hey, hey, come on.
Man, I don't know you, but I-I I didn't do anything.
Where is she? Hey, I didn't, I swear Where is she? My daughter, Ellie! Where is she? I don't know, man! I didn't do any I didn't take her.
I don't deal with that stuff! Who does? I don't know.
I would never hurt anybody.
I swear to you, especially not a little girl.
Until you tell me who has her, I'm gonna assume that it's you.
Dude Eventually, I'm gonna start to do very bad things.
Okay, okay, all right, dude, I swear to you, I swear to you I don't know anything.
You videotaped her soccer game.
I saw it.
I saw you.
Oh, man.
Oh, dude, that was just a job, man.
That's a job, all right? They They just They give me an envelope, it has details inside, a-and my pay Who gives you an envelope? I don't know, it's somebody different every single time.
I was gonna get a cigarette.
Look, dude, I swear to you, okay? I don't know anything.
I don't believe you.
Aw, come on, man! You think they would tell me anything, huh? A fuckin' junky? I mean, come on dude.
All they trust me to do is to do the job.
Just I don't know what they do with the footage.

Where's my daughter? You know, if you startle a deer before it dies, meat's ruined.

And if they die like that, well, it's unpleasant, to say the least.
Hmm.
This one never saw it comin'! I want her back.
Excuse me? I know you have her.
Yes, we do.
Well, what do you think this is, hmm? Just because you found us doesn't mean it's over.
You know the rules by now.
It's not over until you expire the target.
And let us not be mistaken, it has to be you.
Fuck you, no.
Hmm, that hurt my feelings.
