Joey
[To Abigail trapped in elevator]

We want to talk.

Abigail

Please, please let me out. I'm scared.

Joey

Cut the shit. You're really good at pretending to be a little girl. Quick question, who's inside the cage right now?

Abigail

Thank you. [Does a curtsy] I've had a few centuries of experience.

Joey

Tell us how to get out of here, and we'll let you go.

Abigail

No.

Sammy
[Lunges forward with Joey thwarting her]

Hey, what's gonna happen to me?! Am I gonna turn into a vampire?!

Abigail

Maybe.

Sammy

Oh, my God! She said "maybe"!

Peter
[Consoling Sammy]

It's okay.

Frank

Listen little lady, or ma'am, whatever. We're very sorry, okay? We didn't know who you were. We thought you were a regular 12-year old-girl.

Abigail

You were gonna beat me and torture me when you thought I was just a regular 12-year old-girl.

Frank

Yeah, well... like I say, we're very sorry. We would never have taken you if we knew who your father was.

Abigail

You did work for him, didn't you? [All crew look at Frank in dismay] Haven't you wondered why I brought you here?

Peter

You brought us here?

Abigail
[Brings hand to forehead]

Jesus Christ. There was never any money. I planned all of this. Lambert works for me.

Sammy

What are you talking about?

Abigail

Don't you know, Jessie?

Sammy

What did you just call me?

Abigail

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.

Sammy

I can give it back.

Abigail

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 whole crew who just happened to be a tiny subsidiary of our whole empire? How long did the money last, you weak, disloyal inebriate? [Peter looks guilty] 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? Finally, we have the tragic Ana Lucia Cruz. Former army medic drummed out of service for shooting up Uncle Sam's morphine.

Ana

I was injured in the field.

Abigail

You tried to take care of your son, before abandoning him to his ****up of a father

Ana

Shut up.

Abigail

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.

Ana

Shut the **** 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 you're gonna have to kill until he loves you again?

Adam

If this is about revenge, why didn't you just kill us? Why'd you bring us here?

Ana

Because it isn't. This is just a game to her.

Adam

Bullshit. She was screaming at the house and Dad triggered the alarm.

Ana

That wasn't even her father. That wasn't Lazaar. And for what, because you're **** bored?! For your **** entertainment?!

Abigail

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.

Ana

Quick question. Who's inside a cage right now?

Abigail

If you let me out, I'll let two of you live.

Terrence

Oh. Which two? [Jessica slaps him] What?!

Abigail

It's a surprise.

Adam

**** this. Let's just kill her now.

Abigail

You tried that, Frank. If you would like to open this door and try again, please do. My offer just expired. Now I'll only let one of you live, whoever lets me out. [Ana and Terrence both draw pistols at each other]

Adam

She's **** lying, you moron. You touch that door, you're as dead as the rest of us.

Terrence

Maybe it's worth a try.

Ana

We have her Peter. That's why we did this, so we can trade her for our lives.

Abigail

That will never happen. Joey was right. No matter how many of you I kill, my father doesn't love me, and he's not gonna trade me for anything. So go on, Peter, let me out. Go on.

Ana

Peter, if you touch that door, I will shoot you.

Terrence

I'm sorry, guys. [Reaches for latch with Ana shooting him in the torso] Ah! [Repeatedly] You shot me!

Ana

I barely grazed you. Now give me your gun so I can patch you up.

Terrence

You're sure crazy.

Ana

I prefer "impatient". Frank, help me out. Sammy, watch her.

Jessica

**** that shit. Hm-mm.

Ana

Sammy.

Jessica

I'm not staying down here... with that. **** that shit, Joey.

Adam

I got this. [Ana, Terrence and Jessica walk away]

Terrence

Getting shot hurts, Sammy.

Abigail

The offer still stands, Frank. Open the door, and I'll let you keep all your blood.

Adam

Oh.

Abigail

Organs, too.

Adam

Sure.

Abigail

I'm serious. You could be useful to us.

Adam

Why don't you... tell me... how to get the **** out of here, and I'll consider it.

Abigail

If I told you, you'd just leave me here. You first.

Adam

You know what, [Gets up] my offer just expired. Have fun spending eternity in a **** elevator.

Abigail

Wait, I'll tell you. But you have to let me out immediately after I do.

Adam

All right. Fine. It's a deal.

Abigail

There's a secret door in the library. The bookshelf on the right wall. And Then There Were None.

Adam

Hmm. Very good. Thanks. [Walks away]

Abigail

Wait. A deal's a deal.

Adam

Oh, right. The deal. [Chuckles dryly and walks over] Ain't I a silly billy? [Pretends to undo latch] Still gullible at your age, you **** freak? [Chuckles cruelly with Abigail also laughing] What's so **** funny? [Abigail breaks elevator cage sending Frank flying with her doing ballet moves over him with Ana rushing over to break open planks on window sending sunlight searing off Abigail's right hand]

Ana
[Adam is searching for the turning wall book]

You looking for some light reading, Frank?

Adam

Shut the **** up. [Finds the book] And Then There Were None. [Realizes wall is immobile] Agatha **** Christie! [Drops book on floor and starts pulling more books out onto floor with increasingly intense rage] You **** playing me?! **** ballerina ****! Stupid **** dancing **** vampire ****! [Repeatedly] ****! [Walks over to steps and sits]

Ana

You good?

Adam

So what the **** now?!

Ana

She was already healing. You saw, it too. [Walks across room peering into fireplace and then has an epiphany] Grab something. We're gonna break through this wall. [Uses pool cue to demolish wall]

Adam

Will you **** stop already?! She's not going anywhere!

Ana

She's waiting for it to get dark, and then... we're ****! [Yells] ****! [Under breath] God damn it. [Walks over and sits on steps]

Adam
[Ana looks through empty bag for a lollipop]

Aw. You run out of candy?

Jessica

I'm scared. [Ana caresses Jessica's arm] Was that true? What she said about your son? That you left him?

Ana

Yeah. But I go clean. And I was gonna go back for him. That was... that is the plan.

Jessica

That's good. How often do you get to talk to him?

Ana

Tried calling him. I just, um... I can't do it. That's why I took this job. With that money, I can start over, you know? A reset.

Adam

Boo-hoo. **** bullshit. It's not about the money. Money's just an excuse. You didn't go back for you kid 'cause your scared of being a piece-of-shit mother. God, everybody's got to be a **** victim now. "Oh, I left 'cause I was on drugs. Oh, I was on drugs 'cause I got hurt". Own your **** shit and go and be a mother to that kid. Oh, I'm sorry. Did I hurt a **** nerve? [Jessica gives Adam the finger]

Jessica

"Reset" Oh, my God. [Gets up] I don't need to hack the locks. I just need to find a power source. And if I can find a power source, then we can just short it.

Adam

What, are you gonna unplug the **** house?
