And she's smart.
She's very smart.

- Me!
You!
You.
We all love you.
Mommy, can I get ice cream?
You know what, how about

Can I get my face painted?
How about we wait until
the line is a little shorter?
We'll come back, okay?

Let me tell you something.
As long as my son is in that car...
...I will not stop.
Wherever you go...
...I will be right behind you.
No matter what.

What do you want?
You got $10,000?
Yeah.
I'm gonna ride with you,
your son is gonna ride with him...
...and we're gonna go get that money.
Or you're gonna kill me.
That's what he wants.
What he wants me to do.
But I told him for $10,000,
we can make a new plan.
You want your boy and I want $10,000.
Karla, we have to get out of this field.
Unlock the door.
No.
I'm trying to save your child.
Open the door before he changes his mind.
Come on.
You want him to kill your son?
Follow him.
Where do I go?
Just keep going straight,
I'll tell you where to go.
After we get the money,
I'll give him a call...
...and you'll get your boy back.
Okay. Okay.
I know.
Go, go, go.
Okay.
So now what's the plan?
You don't really even have a plan, do you?
You have no idea
