After a group of would-be criminals kidnap the 12-year-old ballerina daughter of a powerful underworld figure, all they have to do to collect a $50 million ransom is watch the girl overnight. In an isolated mansion, the captors start to dwindle, one by one, and they discover, to their mounting horror, that they’re locked inside with no normal little girl.

LAMBERT: You know the rules.
No real names, no backstories,

No.

The walk. The shoes.
Not to mention the standardissue Glock,
the shoulder holster,

Not a street cop.
No. Too smart.
You need to be in control.

Homicide or vice.

All right, he wouldn’t have had us kidnap the kid

Three of Lazaar’s top guys got pinched a few years ago.
The FBI flipped ’em.
Night before the trial, they were all holed up
on the top floor of a hotel.
A dozen agents in the next room and two on the door.
Next morning, FBI goes into the room.
All they bodies are ripped apart.
Limbs… and organs missing.
Decapitations.
That’s his signature. Valdez.
He’s a fucking animal.
And there was no way in and out of that room
except for the front door or the 23rdstory window.
So how’d he do it?
Bullshit.
It’s not fucking bullshit.
That’s not the first time I heard that story.
We’d better check on the girl.
All right, let’s game this out.
If Valdez or anyone else is in here,
that means Lambert gave us up.
And I don’t buy that.
Or Lazaar got to him and beat our location out of him.
Are you fucking kidding me?
Lambert is a meticulous motherfucker.
He’s very, very careful.
If he gave us up, that means either one of us did it
or Valdez is in here and he did it.
Or one of us is Valdez.
I, for one, would like to revisit the cutandrun idea.

No.

well, our guest has besmirched my good name,
and I take that very personally, you know?
(breath trembling): Abigail?
I’m very sorry, okay?

Joey, what’s happening?
Just sorting something out.
I’m just trying to do my job, huh?
Fucking put it down. I’d really prefer not to
have to fucking shoot you.

Get up.

PETER: Frank,
just shoot her.
She’s not gonna kill me.
I might be wrong, Frank.
Joey, I’m scared.

I’m not fucking around here.
You promised, Joey.
I’m doing my best here, Abigail.

(panting)
(distant shrieking)
A ballerina vampire.
Someone has been messing with us ever since we got here.
Right? It’s got to be, uh, some kind of trick.
I don’t know anyone that could pull off a trick like that.
Do you?
I feel sick.
At least Valdez isn’t in here.
The fucking girl is Valdez, you moron.
I thought her name was Abigail.
She isn’t… There isn’t a…
Jesus fucking Christ.

Shit. We got to get out of here.
There’s got to be another way.
No, I checked all the other doors.
These are some kind of magnetically sealed locks,
and these shutters are two inches thick.
You think you can hack the locks?
With what Internet?
I don’t know.
Youyou can’t do it manually?
SAMMY: Well, even if I could, I don’t have any equipment.
You know, there’s got to be, like, a control room
or something.
Okay. What do we know about vampires?
ThThat they’re not real.
What are we talking about, like Anne Rice
or True Blood, you know, Twilight?
Very different kind of vampires.
Okay, we know they feed off blood.
We’re really doing this right now?
They can turn other people into vampires.
Oh. Okay, fuck it.
Um, they can turn into bats and stuff like that.
Mind control, they make you do shit.
They don’t have a reflection.
Not listening to this.
Okay, how do we kill a vampire?
FRANK: Garlic.
A stake through the heart.
Crucifixes.
JOEY: Holy water.
FRANK: Oh, you’re a fucking priest now?
Daylight is a big one.
Oh, that’s a good one,
but it’s, mm, 3:30 in the fucking morning.
Shut up. Shut up. Shut up. Shut the fuck up!
Hey, dumdum, we got a real fucking situation here.
So I don’t give a shit what you think.
Either you’re helping us,
or you’re 270 pounds of dead weight.
Which is it?
Helping.
Just don’t do that again.
There’s pool cues in the game room.
Go sharpen ’em into stakes.
Okay.
You, go check the kitchen for garlic.
Alone?
Yes, alone.
Yep.
What are you thinking?
I say we tool up and we kill her.
That’s a mistake. You said it yourself.
This girl is smart.
She’s been manipulating us from the start.
We don’t know if any of this stuff is gonna work.
And even if it does,
killing her would be the stupidest thing we could do.
And why is that?
Because we lose the only bargaining chip we have.
Well, what do you suggest?
We trade her to Lazaar for our lives.
No. I’m not betting our lives on your fucking hunch.
I’m telling you, she’s gonna see you coming.
No. Debate is over. Decision made. Okay?
I got ’em!
Sammy, those are fucking onions.
Well… (scoffs)
I don’t cook. I don’t know.
All right, let’s go kill us a fuckin’… vampire.
Good luck.
Oh, I’m not going. I already told you why.
And if you put your hand around my neck, you’ll lose it.
I’m not gonna touch you. Go put your feet up.

Well, the stake worked on my fucking leg,
and she used the crucifix on Peter like a fucking
pincushion, and the garlic did fuck all!
Shh. Shh.

we know does work.
When I jabbed her with this, she was out, out.
If we can corner her, it’s nightynight.

We thought you were just a regular 12yearold girl.
You were gonna beat me and torture me
when you thought I was just a regular 12yearold girl.
Yeah, well…
Like I say, we’re very sorry.
We would never have taken you if we knew who your father was.
You did work for him, didn’t you?
Haven’t you wondered why I brought you all here?
You brought us here?
Jesus Christ.
There was never any money.
I planned all of this.
Lambert works for me.
What are you talking about?
Don’t you know, Jessie?
What did you just call me?
Jessica Hurney.
You started your career siphoning money
from your affluent parents’ bank accounts.
Hedge funds came next,
then private offshore accounts,
and eventually, much bigger fish.
One in particular.
I can give it back.
(chuckles softly) Terrence Lacroix.
Muscle for the Montreal Broussard family.
Did it bore you, snapping necks for pay?
Enduring endless taunts from your colleagues
about your stunted intellect?
Is that why you stole from your crew,
who just happened to be a tiny subsidiary of our empire?
How long did the money last, you weak,
disloyal inebriate?
(chuckles)
Former Detective Adam Barrett.
You thought you could infiltrate our New York arm
under deep cover.
But you liked the life a little too much, didn’t you?
The power you had when you were free of rules and regulations.
It became an addiction.
How empty did you feel
when you finally arrested our three lieutenants
you’d worked so hard to get close to?
And how empty did you feel after I ripped up their bodies
in the hotel penthouse because of you?
You changed your name,
you left town, and you never saw your family again.
But it wasn’t for their safety, was it,
Detective Barrett?
(chuckles softly)
Finally, we have the tragic
Ana Lucia Cruz.
Former Army medic drummed out of service
for shooting up Uncle Sam’s morphine.
I was injured in the field.
You tried to take care of your son,
before abandoning him to his fuckup of a father.
Shut up.
You became an underground doctor
for some very shady people.
But one day, you were just too high to do your job,
and instead of removing a bullet,
you nicked an artery,
and someone very important to my father’s business bled out.
But you and Detective Barrett have something in common.
You never went back for your son.
Shut the fuck up!
And what do you tell yourself, huh?
That you want to be your daddy’s little errand girl?
No, he did lose interest in you.
That wasn’t a lie.
How many of your father’s enemies do you think
you’re gonna have to kill until he loves you again?
If this is about revenge, why didn’t you just kill us?
Why’d you bring us here?
Because it isn’t.
This is just a game to her.
FRANK: Bullshit.
She was screaming at the house, and Dad triggered the alarm.
That wasn’t even her father.
That wasn’t Lazaar.
And for what, because you’re fucking bored?
For your fucking entertainment?
What can I say?
I like playing with my food.
You’re the same as all the other
meat sacks I’ve brought here over the years.
Nothing different about any of you.
Nothing special.
Just something to help me pass the time.
JOEY: Quick question.
Who’s inside a cage right now?
If you let me out, I’ll let two of you live.
Oh. Which two?

That’s why we did this
so we can trade her for our lives.
That will never happen.

don’t you think?
You fucking junkie.
I’m gonna fucking kill you, Frank.
(grunts)
(Joey yells, grunts)
(laughs)
Oh, yeah?
(groaning)
(growls)
(grunting)
(both grunting loudly)
JOEY: Why don’t you just kill me?
Where’s the fun in that?
You want to have some fun?
All right.
Let’s have some fun.
(growls)
(grunts)
I’m gonna make you my fucking puppet.
(Frank growls)
(Joey gasping)
And then we’re gonna go see that kid of yours.
And I’m gonna make you kill him.
(yelps)
(grunts, gasps)
(whimpering)
I’m too weak to take him alone.
Help me kill him, and I’ll let you go.
You can see your son again.

(grunting rhythmically)
Wakeywakey, little puppet.
Oh, hey there.
I think it’s time to play…
…my game.
Frank says, “Pick it up.”
(exhales)
Frank says, “Get the fuck up.”
Frank says, “Kill the girl.”
(grunts)
FRANK: Oh, God!
You little fuck!
You don’t fucking quit.
ABIGAIL: You thought you could just make her your puppet?
(screeches)
(panting, straining)
(metal creaking)
(neck cracks)
(straining)
(panting)
Here’s the thing about being a vampire, Frank.
It takes a long fucking time to learn how to do all the cool shit.
Oh, fu…
(panting)
(grunts)
Thank you.
No problem.
(grunts)
(panting)
Am I…?
You’re fine, now that he’s dead.
(grunts)
Um…
I think I’m gonna…
Yeah.
I hope you get Justin back.
It’s Caleb.
I know.
For what it’s worth, you just have to show up.
Father.
(gasps)
(whimpers)
(grunts)
Lazaar.
I’ve gone by many names over the countless years.
(hisses)
(laughs)
Father, don’t.
LAZAAR: I can smell your blood.
ABIGAIL: You don’t understand.
I can taste it.
ABIGAIL: Please stop!
(growls)
She saved my life!
Abigail!
She was here when you weren’t.
I came when you needed me.
Oh.

I’m here now.
LAZAAR: Mmm.
I think you should leave.
It’s getting awfully close to dinnertime.
See you around, Joey.
