Tom Mullen [on live TV]
The whole world now knows... my son, Sean Mullen, was kidnapped, for ransom, three days ago. This is a recent photograph of him. Sean, if you're watching, we love you. And this... well, this is what waits for the man that took him. This is your ransom. Two million dollars in unmarked bills, just like you wanted. But this is as close as you'll ever get to it. You'll never see one dollar of this money, because no ransom will ever be paid for my son. Not one dime, not one penny. Instead, I'm offering this money as a reward on your head. Dead or alive, it doesn't matter. So congratulations, you've just become a two million dollar lottery ticket... except the odds are much, much better. Do you know anyone that wouldn't turn you in for two million dollars? I don't think you do. I doubt it. So wherever you go and whatever you do, this money will be tracking you down for all time. And to ensure that it does, to keep interest alive, I'm running a full-page ad in every major newspaper every Sunday... for as long as it takes. But... and this is your last chance... you return my son, alive, uninjured, I'll withdraw the bounty. With any luck you can simply disappear. Understand... you will never see this money. Not one dollar. So you still have a chance to do the right thing. If you don't, well, then, God be with you, because nobody else on this Earth will be.
Tom Mullen Why would they ever let my son go, no matter what I do? I mean, no matter what I do... pay, don't pay, comply, tell him to go **** himself - why would they give him back? I mean, he's a witness any way you cut it. It's all bullshit, it's all just... seven out of ten.
Tom Mullen All right: Morlock Man gets his money, I don't think we'll ever see Sean again. That's if he's still alive to begin with.
Agent Lonnie Hawkins Whoa, now. Are you talking about not paying?
Tom Mullen Now wait a minute. Listen to me... Morlock man says the pickup guy will give me an address for Sean. I get there, the guy sticks a gun in my face. I said, "You want the money, now give me the address? Where's the address?" You should've seen his face. He had no, absolutely NO idea what I was talking about. None!
Agent Lonnie Hawkins Okay...
Tom Mullen This is not business to him. This is very personal.
Agent Lonnie Hawkins I tell you that everybody pays, and we get back 7 out of 10.
Tom Mullen If we give him what he wants, he will kill Sean!
Agent Lonnie Hawkins Tom, you've got to play the odds, man. I've been doing this for eighteen years, and if I were a betting man, I would bet on the people who pay every time, out of the gate.
Tom Mullen Did you bet on the ones where you got back a corpse?
Tom Mullen [phone ring. Tom answers]
What?
You want to talk to your son?
Tom Mullen Yes, of course I do.
SM Sean Mullen
[Jimmy puts phone up to Sean's mouth]
Daddy? Dad?
Tom Mullen [Jimmy pulls phone away]
Sean. Sean. How ar— son...
[Kate puts on headphones]
That's enough.
Tom Mullen No, put him back on, I want to talk to him.
You just did. Now, you listen, real, real good. You've got one more chance to pay up, or you're never gonna talk to him again. No more **** around. This is it. Right now. What's it gonna be?
Tom Mullen ...No. This is bullshit. You're not gonna touch him. You can't be that stupid. Do you have any idea the rain of shit I can put on you?
Look at your wife. Look at her face, mother****er. Do you know what I can do to your boy?
Tom Mullen Is it dark where you're calling from? Got the shades drawn? Kind of like a cellar, right? Like a cave? Well, you better get used to that. You better get used to crawling in the dark for the rest of your days, because I am gonna get the best group of manhunters in this country, and I am gonna dedicate my life to tracking you down.
Hey, hey, get your head out of your ass! You think you can threaten me, huh? Who do you think you're dealing with? GIMME THE MONEY!
Tom Mullen **** you and your two million! Don't you understand English, you useless piece of shit? No money! None!
Let me tell you something. You think you're suffering now, huh? You got no idea what suffering is. If I don't get the cash in one hour, this kid is dead!
Tom Mullen I don't get my son back, and I mean real soon, you better kill yourself, because when I catch up with you, I'm gonna take my goddamn time. By the time we're finished, you're gonna wish you weren't born! I'll have your head on a **** pike, do you understand me?
**** you! I'll **** kill him right now!
Tom Mullen You kill him, you kill yourself, you mother****er! GIVE ME BACK MY SON!
Tom Mullen YES!
