Help!
Shut up.
Help!
Please, it hurts.
Be quiet, or you'll
get us both killed.
My name is Alison, and I
was kidnapped just like you.
He's not far, and he's
dangerous. You have to be quiet.
If he hears us,
he'll come back down.
Okay?
Where are we?
I don't know.
In a basement, but...
I don't know where.
He grabbed me when I was
leaving work. And you?
He grabbed me in Asbury Park,
when I was going to my car.
That's far from
where I work.
I wouldn't be surprised if he'd
dragged us outside the city limits.
Why is this
happening?
Listen.
The guy thinks we're dead.
We need him like this.
But we're gonna get out
of here, I promise, okay?
My stomach hurts.
I'll take a look.
Just... take a deep
breath and don't move.
What's your name?
Emily.
Lovely name. I have a baby
cousin with that name.
Is it serious?
No.
But do something
for me.
Just press down here and don't
look. I'll be right back, okay?
No, no, no. Where
are you going?
To find something
to close the wound.
Am I gonna die?
Emily, look at me.
I know what I'm doing.
Trust me on this, okay?
Just keep pressing
down there. Everything
will be just fine. I'll
be back in a minute.
Okay.
Alison?
Yes, Emily. I'm here.
Just give me a sec, okay?
I think that...
I'm on my way.
Emily?
Are you okay?
No, no, no,
no, no...
Don't pass out.
Hello?
Emily! Where are you? What happened?
Are you okay? What happened?
No, no, I'm not...
What's going on? I
called everyone we know.
Where are you right now? I'm
gonna pick you up right now.
Tell me where you are.
-I'm not Emily.
What's going
on here?
This is not funny!
Do you understand
this? I'm worried sick.
I called your father.
-Please, shut up. Shut the fuck up.
-Are you okay?
Fuck up.
Tell me where...
Who is this?
Where's Emily?
My name is Alison.
Your wife and I were
kidnapped. We're in
a basement. You gotta
get the police, okay?
What is this? Why do you
have my wife's cell phone?
Where is she? Give the phone
to Emily. This is not funny.
Please, the signal is
almost off. Get the police.
I want to speak to my wife. Give
the phone to Emily. Right now!
Where is she?
Is she okay?
Tell me what
happened to my wife.
Listen, my name is Michael.
I am her husband. I've
been worried sick all night.
She never came back home.
I'm so sorry.
She... she's...
What do you mean, "I'm so
sorry"? What happened to my wife?
-What's going on there?
-Please, call... call the
police, please. You... you have
to call the police right now.
What do you mean,
call the police?
-Is Emily okay?
-Hello?
Hello?
Are you there?
Please, don't hang up. Please, don't
hang up. Please, don't hang up.
Don't hang
up! Please.
Don't hang up!
Alison?
Alison, can
you hear me?
Alison! Alison... I
don't... I can't hear you.
Hello?
Hello?
Michael, hello?
Alison, can
you hear me?
Alison? Alison?
I can't hear you.
Alison!
Don't scream.
Helen.
I can't believe
you came.
It's been months since the
last time we saw each other.
I need to get
out of the house.
Could you come a little closer? I'd
like to take a good look at you.
You have
changed a bit.
How are the boys?
No, go away!
I don't want to see
you! All of you!
You have offended me. Do
you take me for an idiot?
Helen is to blame.
She ruined
everything.
There is nothing
to celebrate.
I lost my appetite.
You can start with Helen, who seems
to be in an awful hurry to leave.
Eat something,
woman.
You don't
look well.
Don't come
any closer.
That's it.
Always pretending
to be a good girl.
Let me go, or
I'll kill her.
I hate you.
All of you knew Robert
was having an affair.
And you
betrayed me.
You will
burn in hell!
You...
You are all
despicable.
Take care of her.
Stop!
911, what's
your emergency?
I need help. I've been
kidnapped, and I'm wounded.
Okay, ma'am, what's
your name, please?
Alison.
Okay, Alison. I need you to stay
calm. I'm here to assist you.
Do you happen to know when
or where you were taken?
Westport.
I don't know where I'm
right now. It seems
to be in the bum-fuck in
the middle of nowhere.
Okay, I've just
connected you to the
police. They're tracking
your call as we speak.
Thank you.
Alison, can you give me any more
information about your kidnapper?
Are they in the
house? Is it a group?
No, no, it's just one guy
and his senile mother.
He's somewhere
inside the house.
I need you to send
help right away.
I don't know how long I
can keep hiding from him.
We're on it.
We've managed to
pinpoint your location.
You're close to
the Cornfield area.
Alison, can
you hear me?
Cornfield?
Affirmative. 25
miles from Westport.
We're contacting the
local police as we speak.
Alison, I need
your help now.
Is there anyone else being
held hostage there with you?
Four women,
all dead.
Okay, Alison, I need
you to stay on the
phone so I can track you.
Can you do that for me?
How long 'til the
police arrive?
Alison?
Ma'am? Ma'am,
can you hear me?
You won't get
away from him.
No one can.
Why are you doing this?
I did nothing to you.
Nothing?
You hid Robert's
affair from me.
He left me for
that slut Sylvia.
You filthy
sinners.
Do you think I'm
stupid, Helen?
I am not Helen!
You and those other bitches laughed
behind my back, felt pity for me.
You think you're
better than me?
You are all scum!
I will have
my retribution.
You are not
laughing now.
You will go back
to the basement.
My son will find
a way to get in.
He will cleanse
your soul from sin.
My special boy, he
will punish you.
You deserve it. You
know you do, don't you?
Just like the rest of them.
Help!
Shut up.
Help!

Be quiet, or you'll
get us both killed.
