This film contains some violent scenes and some strong language.
Let's go!
Taylor. Bob and Marianne Taylor.
Bear with me one second. There are other hotels in Miami. I'm sorry.
What is the problem here? We made these reservations six months ago.
I know. I'm just not seeing it. Where's Lisa? Lisa takes care of us.
She's out of town. Her grandmother passed away.
Cynthia, is it? Yes, sir.
Would you get in more trouble if you called her or if I called corporate?
OK.
Damn! Dallas drivers! Who taught you to drive?! Stevie Wonder?
PHONE RINGS Don't worry, you got... Ten minutes.
Lisa Reisert. Lisa? Hi.
I'm sorry to call, but I didn't know what to do. Hey, what's the problem?
Bob and Marianne Taylor. Yep. They're regulars.
I think I erased their reservation. I wasn't checked out on this system.
Did I mention I had a confirmed reservation? This is my receipt.
I downloaded it off the internet myself. I know. Calm down.
Don't say that! Calm down? She told me to calm down!
Don't tell us to calm down. We've been very calm right up until now.
I'm sorry. Lisa? Tell them one more minute, they'll be happy. Promise.
One more minute. You'll be happy. I promise. We better be.
Now, enter my PIN. It's 788...
BEEP
Hang on.
Dad? Hold on. Can you hold on? "Sure."
OK, it's 7884 underscore L Reisert.
Lisa, I'm so sorry for calling. No, it's fine. Are you logged in?
Yeah. What do I do? Click on the Crisis folder. It lists empty rooms.
Give them 4th-floor corner. Comp them for tonight and tomorrow.
OK, just a sec.
OK, you are all set.
The first two nights are on us.
And if you need anything else, just let me know. We won't.
This was not my fault!
God, they totally threw me. They were such assholes.
There are no assholes, only guests with special needs.
Here we are. Keep it.
Anything else? "The Simpsons didn't get the California King."
What else? Oh, my God...
"Tell me."
The Charles Keefe party will be arriving at 5:30am instead of pm.
That's not that unusual. It's a security thing.
Just have the entrance set. His security takes it from there.
Is Mr Keefe Platinum Club? "He's political. Homeland Security."
Put Montecristo Cubans in the room and a bottle of Cristal on ice.
It's 3825.
OK. Got it covered. Safe flight. Thanks.

Lisa Reisert.
I'm still here. Dad, I'm so sorry. It's fine, sweetie.
What's up? Ready for a sleepless night with the comedy marathon.
Before I forget, that book I gave you, you finish it yet? Er, almost.
You know, he's from Texas. I didn't think shrinks came from there.
Yeah. They just move to California
and start TV shows.
How's the remodelling? Good. They made some headway.
I lost my wallet again. But it's lookin' good.
That's good. I can't wait to see it.
You should. The upstairs hallway is totally unrecognisable.
Your room hasn't been touched. Oh, make it into a gym or putting green.
You know I can't do that.
You never know when you might just want to spend a night here.
You know? Make an escape from the day-to-day?
Day-to-day is where I thrive.
Right.
So... How's your mom holdin' up?
As good as can be expected.
And you? What about you? You all right? Yep, I'm fine.
You sure? Everything's fine, Dad.
You're gonna have to take my word for it.
I gotta go. I gotta check in.
You sure you don't need a pick-up? I thought you lost your wallet.
It's just five minutes. I'm taking the red-eye. It's the last flight.
It's gonna be too late. I love you. Call you tomorrow.
I love you too, sweetie. OK, bye.
TANNOY: Attention, please. We have a cancellation update.
Flight 1192 to Pittsburgh has been cancelled due to weather.
Anybody who was on the flight to Atlanta that was cancelled,
come to the front of the line so we can re-route you.
Oh! I'm sorry.
Don't sweat it. I'm wearing my combat boots.
Excuse me? Travel is war these days.
Yeah.
Oh, I just love him. How is that? Are you learning a lot?
I'm not really sure.
He's so handsome. I work during the day, so I always miss his shows.
Here. That'll catch you up. Oh, no. No, no, I...
I'm done. My dad's given me so many, I could start a library. Please.
That's very nice of you.
Anyone who is scheduled on the flight to Atlanta,
if you want to get out of Dallas, come to the front. Pardon me.
You're letting them go, but we've been standing for an hour?
How does that happen? Otherwise they'll miss their flight.
But you cancelled mine, then re-routed me twice!
I understand. Get your boss. This is ridiculous!
Don't make her do that. She's doing her best.
I don't think I was talking to you. I realise that.
I'm trying... Please, sir.
She is the one standing between us getting out and anarchy.
Yeah, but she's not the one... She's exhausted, worked 18 hours
and she suspects we all hate her just as much as you do.
What do you say we give her a break?
Let her get back to a job I guess is a lot more thankless than yours.
This airline sucks.
Next in line, please. Oh, that's me.
Oh, here!
Thank you very much.
And thank you. You're welcome.
Yeah. Thank you.
Not at all. That was just backup. You got the ball rolling.
Yeah. Reflex, I guess.
Why is that? I work in a hotel. I have to deal with people like that.
Oh? The Marriott? The Hilton?
The Lux Atlantic. It's in... Miami.
Yeah. I know it well.
So you're on this...
Very delayed flight to Miami, yeah.
You? Yeah. Sadly, yeah.
But you know what?
That's why God created the Tex-Mex.
The best nachos in the airport right across from our gate.
Good tip. Thanks.
Save you a seat. Oh, er...
Yeah, that was... I thought, since we're on the same flight...
I didn't mean to invade your space or... No.
Ma'am, I can take you over here.
I just... I have a few calls to make. Sure. I understand. Go ahead.
Have a good flight. OK. You too. Ma'am!
Ladies and gentlemen, we will update you
with the departure time of flight 1019 service to Miami...
Hi. You must be Rebecca. Yes.
I'm Mary. I hear this is the first time you're flying by yourself. Yes.
Well, you must be very brave.
Are you gonna be OK? Yes, Mom. Are you sure?
Yes, I'm sure. I'm just asking.
I'm 11, not nine. Come with me, you two.
There you go, sir. Your nachos. Careful, hot plate. Thank you.
Oh, my God! I am so sorry. It's iced. Don't worry.
OK. Let me find you some napkins. No, no, no. It's fine.
Are you sure? Yeah.
OK. Larry, could you run back to Starbucks? I need another mocha.
Finished that one? Someone's wearin' it!
TANNOY ANNOUNCEMENTS
..Paging a skycap with electric cart to gate four.
Oh, hi. Hi.
Er, is this taken? No, it's all yours.
Thanks.
So, did you get your calls made?
Yep. No more calls.
Good. What will you have? Er, no, it's... I'm OK.
If I can guess... OK.
Um... I'm feeling vodka.
Definitely sweetened.
Um... Cosmo.
No. Way too common. Um... Screwdriver.
No. No. Way too boring.
That leaves me with the simplicity of the grapefruit
or the complexity of the pineapple.
Hm.
Grapefruit sea breeze.
Could I have a bay breeze? You got it. Ah. Thanks.
It's an impressive talent. Very close. You know, breaks the ice.
Yeah.
So, you heading home? Yeah. Trying. Yeah. Flying's so much fun...!
Fun for me is just getting off that plane in one piece.
Fear of flying? Yeah. Just a little.
Were you in Texas on hotel business?
No. My grandmother died.
Oh. It's OK. She was 91.
91?
Yeah. That's respectable.
What was her secret? Grape nuts. And a guy named Duke.
Excuse me? Yeah.
She said the grape nuts kept her arteries clean
and Duke helped with the rest.
Wow. A dynamic woman.
Nothing fazed her, you know? She was so optimistic.
"Always look forward." That's what she'd say.
There ya go. Thanks.
TANNOY: ...heightened security measures are in place.
That taste OK? It's fine. You sure?
Cos we can get you that sea breeze.
You sound like my dad.
I say I'm fine, he says, "Are you sure?" I'm sure.
OK, I believe you. Good.
The name's Jackson, by the way. Lisa. Pleased to meet you.
Is it Jack for short? No. I haven't gone by Jack since I was ten.
Last name's Rippner. Jack Rippner.
Jack... the... Oh!
There you go. That wasn't nice of your parents.
No. That's what I told them before I killed them.

Well, if it's any comfort, my middle name's Henrietta.

Four months ago, Keefe sent shock waves through the department

during his first press conference.
I don't discriminate, I communicate. Just not always with a kind word.
Don't get me wrong. I believe in diplomacy. It can work.
But first you have to have their attention.
Do I have your attention?
Thank you. Thank you very much.
TANNOY: We're cleared for the boarding of flight 1019 to Miami.

Nice to meet you. You have a good flight. You too. Bye.
Bye.
Hey, looks like we're getting out of here. The storm's moved on.
No, there's time.
Thank you for your patience, sir. Yeah, right.
Come on, we've got to move it, bro. Come on...

Reading lights can still be activated.
Once we've reached cruising altitude and the fasten-seat-belt sign is off,
we will be offering complimentary soft drinks and coffee.
Cocktails will be available for an additional charge.
Oh! Oh. Hi.
Again.
I figured you'd be in first class. Not me. I'm coach all the time.
Me too. Yeah.
I think that's...my seat.
What, you're not sitting here? Well, I don't know. That says 18G?
You're kidding? You're not kidding.
You need a bellhop? No, that's OK.
Let me help. I insist.
THUMP
You OK? Yeah.
You sure? Yeah.
I'm not normally such a lightweight. Those were strong bay breezes.
Well, I'm cutting you off anyways, all right?
So... What are the odds? Yeah, I know.
Wait a minute.
You're not stalking me, are you?
No.
You got me. I'm sorry.
Oh, geez. You all right?
If I say yes, are you gonna ask me if I'm sure?
No. No. That's your dad's department.
Yeah, I'm fine. I... Earlier today I had some cheap wine at the funeral,
and combined with the cheap vodka...
I see.
I blame you for that part. Well, I feel terrible now.
You should. Oh, I do.
Ladies and gentlemen, it's been a long night, so stow your belongings
and take your seats as quickly as possible.
I think somebody needs a bellhop. Excuse me?
OK.
Let me. Thank you so much. You're welcome.
Just when I thought there weren't any gentlemen left.
Have a pleasant flight.
Oh, my.

Uh-huh? OK, done deal.

The use of cellular phones is not allowed at any time.
Devices suitable for use are listed in your Fresh Air magazine.
Flight attendants, be seated.
Folks, looks like we're the red-eye to Miami.
The weather conditions may cause a bumpy take-off,
but we'll soon climb above it. We'll see if we can make up lost time.
We're number one for departure. Secure the cabin for take-off.
Ladies and gentlemen, we're clear for take-off. Enjoy your flight.
We're not gonna make it. Shut up.
We're not gonna make it. I will punch you in the face!
Just kidding. Come on.
ENGINES ROAR
Oh...
Are we there yet?
So, was Henrietta your mom's mom or your dad's mom?
Er, um, my mom's. My dad's...
CLATTERING / PASSENGERS MOAN
My dad's died a long time ago.
Are your folks still together? They divorced three years ago.
Married for 32.
Oh.
That's a shame. So your mom...
Mom moved back to Texas and Dad stayed in Miami. I see.
And does Dad still work? Yeah. No! He's recently retired.
He's got time on his hands, so he makes phone calls.
OK. So he's filling all his work time with... Worry time.
Does he have reason to worry about you?
Well, even if he does, he's just got to get used to the fact
that life changes and sometimes things happen.
I know what you mean.
Usually when things are going perfectly, you're back on track,
everything's going to plan, but one day,
out of nowhere, somebody forgets to bolt the engine to the wing.
Yeah.
This is your captain. We're through the worst of it, so you can relax.
Keep your seat belt fastened, as we may hit more turbulence. Thank you.
Thanks for distracting me.
Well, it's not really what I'm doing.
What are you doing?
Just keeping the focus on you and your father.
Why? Part of my job.
Are you a shrink? No. Manager.
Better not say of a hotel. No.
That would have ...
Caused you to buy a self-help book.
Hm.
So, what do you do?
Government overthrows, high-profile
assassinations, the usual.
You're a spy. I should've known. No, I'm not a spy.
A hit man. I'm a lousy shot.
Right. You work for the CIA.
Well, if I did, I couldn't say, could I? But no.
The Mafia? The money's shit.
Hm.
OK, that's weird. Why don't you just tell me what you do? I already did.
OK.
OK, I'm sorry, I... It's...
Whatever you do, that's your own business.
Just as long as you're not...
What? Hijacking the plane.
Oh, no. No, I'm not suicidal.
That's good.
You're right. Most days it is my own business.
But right now, as fate would have it, my business is all about you.
I'm sorry, about me? That's right.
OK, I'm not sure where you're going with this.
Charles Keefe. One of your regular VIPs. Ring a bell?
No. Should it?
Yes. He's on his way to your hotel and that's why you need to listen.
No. I don't think... I don't have to.
Yes, you do, if you want your dad to live.
What did you say? You heard me.
Yeah. Suit yourself.
But you might want to take a look at this first.
JR. Joe Reisert. Your father?
Yes?
Where did you get that? I didn't get it.
My associate grabbed it off your dad's desk.
Apparently next to your graduation picture.
JR. Dad's wallet. His initials. But gee, mine too.
Jack Rippner. Credit card, licence.

She probably wants another drink.
Maybe I'll join her.
Hi. Hi. What can I do for you?
Lise, did you need another pillow or anything?
No, I don't need anything. She's just had a really rough day.
A death in the family. I'm so sorry.
Yeah.
I'll get you water and some tissues.
Thanks.
Be right back. Thank you.
Great. Keep doing the right thing. Just bottle the emotions more.
Have you done something to my father? No.
And it'll stay that way as long as you keep playing along.
What do you want from me? I want to wait for your Kleenex and water.
And once we have privacy, to business.
Here you go. Thank you so much.
Sure. Feel better, hon. Thank you.
I need you to call your hotel. It's very simple.
Use your managerial pull to move Keefe from to 3825 to suite 4080.
I'll leave the details to you. You just sell it.
You've got the wrong person. I don't have the authority to do that.
I know that you do.
You're the only voice that can get this done by the time I need it.
You need me to write it down? No.
Well, then, what's the delay?
So by changing Keefe's room, does that make it easier?
Lisa, whatever female, emotion-based dilemma you're dealing with now,
you have my sympathy.
But for the sake of time and sanity,
let's break this down into a little male, fact-based logic.
One simple phone call saves your dad's life.
And it has to be made soon.
You're gonna kill Keefe, aren't you?
You need to worry more about your dad.
How am I meant to know if he's OK? He's fine. How can I believe that?
Last I heard, he was eating lasagne,
watching the comedy marathon.
Relax. By now, my guy is probably back in his silver Beemer
outside 9321 Blossom Palms Lane.
He's sitting in the dark, listening to jazz
while he sharpens his 12-inch KA-BAR.
That's a knife, Lise.
I want to talk to my dad. Sure. After you make the call.
No. I want to know he's OK right now or I don't call anybody.
Your dime.
Credit card?
The captain has turned off the fasten-seat-belt sign.
You may move about the cabin.

Can you help me again? Last time, I promise.
Sure.

I didn't think that this book would be so much work.
There's all these surveys about yourself before you can do the rest.
Oh, could you wait one second? Sure. My nails.
Know what? Don't worry about the surveys. I'll just...
I'll just highlight my favourite part. Wonderful.
Got it. Great. You are a life-saver! Yep.
Would you give your address? I want to return it.
I'm always breaking my nails on these.
I need you to help me put it back up.
Clear the aisle, please! Oh! Looks like we're on a collision course.
I'll come back for it. No. Here you go.
Last time. Thank you! OK.
Sorry, I'm... I'm blocking your seat. Not at all.
Excuse us, ma'am. I'm going. Thank you.

THUNDER CRASHES
Please return to your seats. Thank you.
I want you to get excited about your life. But you gotta get real.
I'm challenging you, starting now,
to stop dealing in opinions and start dealing in facts.
Fact. Fearing to act is human.
Failing to act is just plain dumb.
Fact. Thinking when you should be acting only makes your head hurt.
I'm not makin' this up. It's here.
Fact. You've been out for half an hour
and Keefe's room still hasn't been changed.
So I got you some aspirin.
I need you coherent, Lise.
CAPTAIN: Well, folks, we hoped things would calm down, but they're not.
So control's just cleared us up to 35,000 feet.
Let's see if we can't get above this weather.
Now, let's do this.
Oh...
If I do it, if I make that call,
you promise you'll tell whoever's outside my dad's house to go?
You call, I call. Dad wakes up, puts on coffee, never suspects a thing,
you go back to work, life goes on.
I am now calling your hotel.
No need to tell you to sound convincing.

You'd be proud of me. We're all set for Keefe.
The Cristal, the cigars - not easy to find at night.
You know, about that. I'm going to need you to do me a favour.
You sure you're OK? Please do not ask me again if I'm OK.
I hope you're...
Look, something's come up.

We're gonna move him to room 4080.
Right.

We get out of this, I may have to steal you.
Excuse me, miss. Yes? The phone's not working.
They cut out in storms. They'll come back when we find clear air. Thanks.
You don't have a backup plan?
Why do this here? Blame your grandmother.

You know, I've known you for a while now, Lisa. Before tonight, I mean.
Far as I can tell, your life revolves around your job.
The occasional cocktail at the corner cafe,
the classic late-night movies, and scrambled eggs at 3am.
What turned you into such a loner? Was it your parents' divorce?
Wait, did someone break your heart?

Best I can do.
OK, you know what? You got me.
I'm gonna make that call when I can make the call.

I need to go.
OK. I trust you.

You can't just run off like that.
A man went in. Everyone shares. I'll take you to the other one.
But a lady's in there too. OK, one of those flights. Here, come on.
Please, just stop whoever's at my dad's house.
I already have, by twice intercepting these communiques.
If they'd have fallen into the hands of a stewardess,
she'd have gone to the cockpit and we'd land.
If that happens, Lise, our guy in the BMW's gonna know about it.
So do Dad a favour
and stop gambling with his life.
You don't have to do this. Any of this.
Someone do that to you?
No.
Is that what it is?
No.
You know what I think?
You know what I think? I think you're not such an honest person.
Because I've followed you for eight weeks
and I never once saw you order anything but a fucking sea breeze.
I can't breathe. I can't breathe.
SHE COUGHS
I never lied to you, Lise. Know why?
Cos it doesn't serve me.
We're both professional. We have the will and means to follow through.
If we don't, our customers aren't happy.
And when they're not, we suffer and our lives go to shit.
And that's not going to happen. Is it?
No.
Good.
Because I'm gonna tell you the phones are working again.
Are you sure we got a deal this time?
Huh? Yes.
Peachy.
Well, thanks for the quickie.
Good.
Come on.
Excuse me!
This isn't a motel. Sure.
Lose something? Yes, my book.
It was here. Maybe it slipped down behind...
I need you to pull yourself together, Lisa.

Yeah. I was checking with Dan Young from Maintenance.
We can't put Keefe in that room. He always stays there.
I know. But they were fixing a water valve in the master bath
and they didn't fix the right one so if anyone uses the plumbing...

OK. Oh, my God... The cigars, the Cristal.
There's hardly time, Lise. I better go.
Outstanding.
We're close.
What? You know what.
My dad.
Make the call. Your part of the deal.
I still need you. You promised. I'll keep that promise.
When we land, I'll get confirmation Keefe has been handled.
While you wait, what if your guy decides to kill my dad
because you didn't make the call?
He doesn't move unless I say so. He's a good dog.
He responds only to his master's voice.
It'll be over soon. The Keefes will be history,
your dad will be safe, we'll... What did you say?
What? His family's with him?
You're going to kill his family too?
Somebody wants to send a big, brash message, that's their business.
I do my part, move on.
Oh, my God.
Lisa... Shh.
Hi, welcome to the Lux Atlantic. Welcome to the Lux Atlantic.
Hi. Here are all your keys. We're putting you in suite 4080.
4080? We're in 3825.
4080. Beautiful suite. We're always in 3825.
Except we've got a bad plumbing problem in 3825.
4080 toilets are good.
They want us to switch rooms.
We made redundant reservations. We can go to the Hilton.
Charles, the kids are exhausted.
Who made the approval? Lisa Reisert.
It's OK. I know her.
We need to sweep the room. Well, get on it. Yes, sir.
CAPTAIN: We've begun our initial descent into Miami.
We'll have you on the ground soon.
On behalf of the flight crew, thank you for choosing Fresh Air.
Seats in the upright position. How long till we land? A few minutes.
Please make sure your seat belts are fastened...
GROANS
What's wrong? You hit me on the head and slammed me against the wall.
Well, suck it up.
We've come too far. Don't blow it now.
Come on, sit up. Sit up, Lise.
We're almost there.
Anything? Not much. A yacht.
Way out there. Fishing, I think.
Call it in. Right away.
Flight attendants, secure the cabin
for arrival in Miami.
We have gate information for those of you continuing your travel.
A gate attendant is available. Thank you for your patience
throughout this flight.
At the gate, I'll follow you in, we'll hit Starbucks,
grab a latte, kill ten minutes till I hear that Keefe's been taken out.
And then I walk out of your life.
Once I'm out of your line of sight,
I'll call off Mr Killer from
outside Dad's and then you're free.
Free to yell and scream, call your dad,
tell him to run to the neighbour's.
Sound good? Whatever you say.
What, no questions?
What good have they done me so far?
Best question you've asked all night.
Flight attendants, please be seated.
SMATTERING OF APPLAUSE
Ladies and gentlemen, on behalf of your crew,
we'd like to welcome you to Miami.
The weather is 79 and sunny.
It's all clear down below.
Sorry for the intrusion, sir. No problem.
You guys have a good one.
Good luck, fellas. Thanks.
All right, we're clear. OK, let's go.
Coast Guard says it's all clear. Bring them up.
It happened in a parking lot.
The scar.
Two years ago.
In the middle of the day.
He held a knife to my throat...
the whole time.
Ever since, I've tried to convince myself
of one thing, over and over.
That it was beyond your control.
No.
That it would never happen again.
Excuse me. Lady!
I have a flight to catch! Sorry.
You all right, sweetheart?
Oh, God! We need help back here!
Oh, my God! Is anyone a doctor?!
What's going on? Sorry. A man back there needs your help.
Stay right there. Help! Help!
One minute, miss, please. We need a doctor!
Stay! OK, everyone, please remain calm and return to your seats.
There goes your pen, dude. We need an ambulance.
Hey, stop that woman! She stabbed the guy!
Hey!
Emergency. Security to the M2 gate.
Attention, Security. Request for assistance, code three, gate M2.
Security, code three.
Did you see where she went? Right around the corner.
I'm really thirsty.
Hi. I'm Wendy from airport food services.
Have you dined at our terminal before? Er, yeah.
I used to...
Where did she go?
Sir? Argh!
OK, we have a doctor for you.
Whoa! Don't speak. Don't damage your vocal cords.
It doesn't look too bad. It's just your windpipe...
It's not dangerous, really. No, don't! Hey!
Sir! Sir!
Hey, you need a hospital! Sir!
You're gonna have to fill out a report to the police!
Argh! Hey! That's my scarf!
Whoa.
Argh!
Passengers for flight 1221...
Come on, come on.
No! Shit!
Gate M2!
M2! M2, all the way up!
Yeah, we're up there right now. M2!
Hey!
Careful!
Heads up!
Argh!
Come on, come on, close.
GASPS HOARSELY
Come on! Danny! Slow down, honey. Kids, be careful!
Keep two on the roof, two downstairs.
Nice.
Isn't this nice?
Welcome to Miami International Airport. Smoking is not allowed.
Keep your baggage with you

CAR HORN
Shit! Geez!
OK. OK, one more.
PHONE RINGS
Got it!
Lux Atlantic Resort. This is...
Put me through to Keefe's room!
Lisa? What's going on?
You have got to get Keefe out of that room!
You already changed him. No, it's got nothing to...
I think something's gonna happen. Listen, pull the fire alarm.
What the hell...? Evacuate the hotel! Get everyone out!
You've got to go up there now and physically tell them!
Tell them that Keefe is a target! Cynthia, Keefe is a target!
Somebody's going to kill him!
Oh, shit.
Shit, shit.
ALARM
Get people out!
Everybody, please make your way toward the exit. Stay calm.
We need to evacuate the lobby.
OK, one more. Come on, one more.
PHONE RINGS
Damn it!
Hello?
HE ISSUES INSTRUCTIONS
Mr Keefe!
Hello! What's going on?
Something's happening. Lisa called. We've got to get Keefe out of here!

Sarah, we gotta hurry! Danny! Charles!
Lydia! We've got to go, sir! Come on! You got him? I got him!
Everybody move! Rooftop! Let's go! Move, move!

Argh!
All right. Get him out of here. Come on, let's go!
Get out! Come on.
Move, move. Let's go!
Lisa?
Dad... Lisa, what the hell?
Did you call 911? I already did.
Who is this? I can explain. Are you OK? Am I OK?
I have to call the hotel. Come on. Sit. Sit.
OK. You're OK.
I'll get the first-aid kit.
The cops are on their way.
PHONE RINGS
Lux Atlantic Resort. Cynthia, are you OK?
Yeah.
Is everyone else OK? Yeah, we're all OK, I think.
You better get over here. I have no idea how to explain this.
OK. OK. Um, I'm on my way.
Dad, I need your keys. We have to get...
Hi.
HE WHEEZES
Dad! Oh, he's not dead.
I wanted him to see what I'm going to do to you first.
Dad!
Come on. You have to get up.
You see, Lisa?
I never lie.
OK, so is this personal now?
Just finishing the job.
Well, you're too late. Everyone's alive.
In that hotel, every single person is alive.
What, you didn't know?
You failed, Jack.
I'll finish the job. Not in my house.
CLATTERING
Hey!
Where's your male, fact-based logic now, Jack?
I don't think that's what got you here.
Did you hear me?
FUMBLING AT DOOR
DRIPPING
PHONE RINGS
This is 911 dispatch. Is anyone there?
Hello. I'm sorry it took so long. We had an emergency downtown.
You had someone hit in front of your house?
There is a man in my house who's trying to kill me.
OK. If you can, lock yourself in a room. Units are on the way.
Just hurry.
No!
You're pathetic.
Argh!
We'll...
We'll talk again. Don't move.
SIRENS IN DISTANCE
Hey!
SIRENS APPROACH
Come on, sweetheart. Come on.
Right over there. Right there.
Cynthia! Oh, God!
Are you OK? Yeah, yeah. Yeah?
Yeah, I mean...
I think we had a good night, all things considered. Just...
that one incident really.
Cynthia, you did so good.
Thank you. OK.
Excuse me? Ladies?
Mr Keefe.
I'd like to thank you both.
For my family, I thank you.
Sir, we have to go.
Let's talk soon, yes? Mm-hm.
Lisa! Lisa! This is the worst experience we have ever had.
Do you have any idea what we have been through?
Well... First, there was no reservation!
Then our ceiling exploded.
I got chunks of plaster all over me.
I could get asthma. I'm so sorry.
Is there anything we can do to make it up to you? Yes.
Start by cleaning house. Get rid of her.
She is completely incompetent!
Absolutely. And cheeky, too.
I see.
Well...
..here's what you can do. Fill out a comment card at the desk.
A comment card? She asked us to fill out a comment card.
You want us to fill out a comment card?! Yes, I do.
And after you finish,
you can go ahead and just shove it up your ass.
Yeah.
You are so my hero. Let's get out of here.
Let's open the bar. Champagne? Oh, anything but a bay breeze. OK.
