Quotes 

• Melanie Stone : [Melanie and Jack are trekking through the woods at night]  Tell me something. Was the flirting all part of your plan? To gain my trust? So my guard'd be down when you made your move?

  Jack Carlson : [glances at her]  No.

  Melanie Stone : Then you must care for me in some way. Means you won't kill me.

  [They continue walking, Jack obviously affected by her realizing he won't kill her, and then they linger in a spot] 

  Melanie Stone : Why are we stopping here?

  Jack Carlson : We're gonna spend the night here. Turn around.

  Melanie Stone : [apprehensive]  Why?

  Jack Carlson : I have to tie you up again. Turn around!

• Melanie Stone : [Jack is on top of her after tackling her running through the woods trying to get away while he was sleeping]  Get off of me!

  Jack Carlson : [gets off and gets up]  You better hope I remember the way back.

  [breathes hard, holding the gun] 

  Melanie Stone : [angry, in his face]  So why don't you just shoot me? Get it over with!

  [both breathless; he points the gun at her face] 

  Jack Carlson : The gunshots might draw attention.

  [retracts gun] 

  Jack Carlson : We gotta keep moving.

  [slightly pushes her; she flinches and looks at him; he pushes her again] 

• Jack Carlson : [Jack and Melanie are at a cabin in the woods; Jack points]  Wait here.

  [he goes to a hidden area in the ground and then opens the door] 

  Jack Carlson : Come on. Come on!

  [he guides her in and she has no choice but to go in and he looks around for anyone that may be outside and closes the door] 

  Jack Carlson : Let's get some air in here.

  [walks past Melanie who is apprehensive and looking at her surroundings; Jack puts his backpack down and starts opening windows as Melanie studies photos] 

  Melanie Stone : You owned a garage? Is that your wife; your - brother?

  [Jack looks at her then at the picture and resolutely walks over and takes down the photo] 

  Jack Carlson : Ex-wife. Ex-friend.

  [takes off his jacket] 

  Melanie Stone : [flares her nostrils]  Did they have an affair?

  [he looks at her wordlessly and starts with the windows again, which answers her question and she decides he's distraught enough to start out the door while he is busy] 

  Jack Carlson : I wouldn't if I were you.

  [turns to her] 

  Jack Carlson : You'll get lost and you won't like what finds you.

  [she walks back into the cabin, away from the door] 

  Melanie Stone : Are they the reason you're in prison?

  [busy, he doesn't answer] 

  Melanie Stone : Why are you doing this?

  [looks to her and his backpack multiple times and then goes toward her quickly] 

  Melanie Stone : No.

  [he grabs her and unties her wrists and walks away to store the tie in his backpack, puts it on and goes toward the door and turns to her] 

  Jack Carlson : [I'm getting supplies] 

  [He shuts the door and locks it from the inside] 

  Melanie Stone : [tries the door a few times]  Help! Help! Help! Help!

  [camera pans out, showing her cries are for naught] 

• Melanie Stone : There's nothing to discuss. For years now, I've put my life on hold while helping you get whatever you want out of yours. I'm not your campaign manager, Tom, and I'm not one of your subordinates. I'm supposed to be your partner.

  Tom Stone : [shakes head and laughs incredulously]  You picked a hell of a time for this! But, uh, I see your point. You've made a lot of sacrifices, and I appreciate that.

  Melanie Stone : [relenting]  Thank you. But right now, I just wanna get back in there and do my job. OK?

  Tom Stone : [satisfied]  By all means.

• Melanie Stone : [Sarah arrives home; closes door and sets alarm and turns, gasping when she sees Jack staring at her]  What are you doing here?

  Jack Carlson : [cuts to Sarah opening safe for Jack, him behind her]  I'll take that!

  [takes gun from safe contents] 

  Melanie Stone : You should be gone; they'll be looking for you.

  Jack Carlson : That's the beauty of an electric fence. No one thinks you're gonna run. Take your passport.

  Melanie Stone : What? You have a gun, money, my car, you don't need me!

  Jack Carlson : We both know: I'll never make it off the property without you. Come on! Let' go! Let's go!

  [cut to Jack coming into bedroom] 

  Jack Carlson : You need to get out of that Barbara Bush outfit into something less conspicuous.

  [drops clothing on bed; unties hands] 

  Jack Carlson : I'll turn around.

  [she then tries to hit him with a wooden decoration] 

  Jack Carlson : You're making it really hard for me to be nice to you.

  Melanie Stone : [angry]  OK, I'll get you off the property. And then you'll let me go.

  Jack Carlson : [cut to him leading her outside; gun to her back]  Put the bag in the back seat.

  [he enters car, gets her in driver's seat] 

  Jack Carlson : Get in! Close the door.

  Melanie Stone : [looks down]  I said I'd get you off the property so just trust me to do that. Why don't you get on the floor and, um, I'll honk the horn as I approach the guards' gate. They'll let me pass through without stopping.

  Jack Carlson : [breathes heavily as he looks at her and points the gun]  Start the car.

  [Engine starting; Jack gets down, still pointing gun] 

  Jack Carlson : Nice and slow. Like normal.

  [Jack puts hand firmly on her thigh] 

  Jack Carlson : Relax.

  [Sarah honks horn; smiles; waves] 

  Jack Carlson : Just relax.

  [guard waves as she drives by and she waves again] 

  Melanie Stone : We're through.

  Jack Carlson : OK. OK. Well done.

  [nods] 

  Melanie Stone : [cut to Jack sitting upright, putting on seatbelt]  Just, um, just pick a place to stop, and I'll get out. You can go wherever you wanna go.

  Jack Carlson : [staring straight ahead]  That's not an option.

  Melanie Stone : We had a deal!

  Jack Carlson : No, you assumed we did.

  Melanie Stone : [panicky]  What?

  Jack Carlson : We gotta change the plates. Keep driving.

  [cut to rest stop; Melanie is keeping watch and Jack is changing plates and watching Melanie, who sees a laughing couple, who Jack sees that Melanie sees, he quickly gets up, taking stock of the gun and hugs her] 

  Jack Carlson : Just relax. Just hug me.

  [they retract from the hug, the mood changed and the couple having driven away] 

  Jack Carlson : Get in the trunk.

  Melanie Stone : What?

  Jack Carlson : Get in the trunk now. Get in the trunk!

  Melanie Stone : [desperate]  No, no no, no!

  Jack Carlson : Get in the trunk now!

  Melanie Stone : No, please, please!

  Jack Carlson : Get in!

  [Melanie sobs in the trunk and stops when Jack reduces the speed of the car in a desolate area] 

  Melanie Stone : [hearing Jack's footsteps recede]  Hello? Help! Help, I'm in the trunk! Help, somebody. Somebody help me; I'm in the trunk!

  [rumbles against the trunk as Jack enters an auto service building, ignoring her] 

• Jack Carlson : [walks in auto store]  Who's winning?

  Cashier : Cougars. You a fan?

  Jack Carlson : Aren't we all? I don't suppose you could tell me which highway would take me to the Canadian border.

  [cashier realizes Jack is cute] 

  Cashier : I could tell ya, but I won't.

  Jack Carlson : Really? And why, may I ask is that?

  Cashier : Well, because then you'll leave.

  Jack Carlson : For now. I'll be back later this week. What are you doing Thursday?

  Cashier : Working here 'til six.

  Jack Carlson : Well, I'll see you at six on the dot, then. Now how about those directions?

  Cashier : Oh! Nothing to it. You just jump on the 5, and keep heading North. If you don't hit Canada, you're going the wrong way.

  Jack Carlson : Well, see ya Thursday.

  Cashier : See ya.

  [smitten with Jack, who walks back out to a screaming Melanie] 

  Melanie Stone : Help! Somebody help me! Help me! Please, help me! Help, somebody! Somebody, I'm in the trunk!

  [Jack slams door, starts engine and goes due East; stops in woods, looks around and pops trunk] 

  Jack Carlson : Get out. Come on. Dammit! Dammit! You. Come on. You stay here. You hear me? Don't move. Turn around. Turn around!

  [ties her arms] 

  Jack Carlson : Don't move. Let's go walk this way. Straight ahead.

  Melanie Stone : You were in prison for murder, weren't you. You gonna kill me, too?

  [as they walk through woods, scene fades] 

• Jack Carlson : [walks over to bed with Melanie behind him]  This isn't him.

  Melanie Stone : [shocked whisper]  What?

  Jack Carlson : He's the same age, but that's not Tim.

  Melanie Stone : His chart says he's been in a coma for five years. Terrance couldn't have claimed the money!

  Jack Carlson : [looks at patient chart]  Well, whoever did must have had his driver's license, at the very least.

  Melanie Stone : Tim must have assumed his identity. Which makes sense, given what the guy at the front desk said about a visitor a few years ago.

  Jack Carlson : Well, one way to know for sure; we'll just check the exact date of the visit and see if it was before the wire transfers. He needed enough time to apply for a driver's license.

  Melanie Stone : Right. We have to find the new Terrance Scott.

• John Delaney : Melanie, I'm John Delaney; this is my partner, Stephanie Baker. We're the marshals assigned to your kidnapping.

  Stephanie Baker : We're very happy you're safe and weren't seriously hurt. It doesn't always go down that way.

  John Delaney : Rarely does. You're lucky we found you. If you'd stayed in his company a little longer, you would have been one hell of a liability.

  Melanie Stone : He had a gun. H-he said he was gonna kill me.

  John Delaney : [looks at Baker]  I guess that's all we need for now. I think your husband's on his way. He'll take you home.

• Amy : [runs to Melanie, relieved]  Ohhh, Melanie!

  [embraces her] 

  Amy : We were so scared! Ohh.

  George Motts : [hugs Melanie]  Don't go getting yourself kidnapped again, all right?

  Melanie Stone : [grateful]  I'm so happy you guys are here.

  George Motts : Okay, well, we just wanted to see with our own eyes. Get some rest. We'll stop by tomorrow.

  Amy : Yeah. Tom made us promise we'd only say hello.

  Tom Stone : Thanks for understanding Amy. Come on, honey, let's get you inside, okay?

  [begins leading her toward the house] 

  Melanie Stone : [stops Tom]  Can you give me a minute?

  Tom Stone : Yeah, sure.

  Melanie Stone : [nervously walks away as Tom stares after her. She hugs George again]  George, keep this safe for me.

  [Covertly gives him a tape. Amy looks taken aback] 

  Amy : Yeah. See you tomorrow, okay?

  [Melanie backs away and blows Amy a kiss] 

  Tom Stone : I'm so glad you're home. I've been lost without you. I haven't been able to sleep.

  [He goes in and Melanie gives a telling look to Amy and George as the door closes] 

• Paula Simms : [walking to the outside with Tom and Melanie]  Now, remember to hold hands. We want people to see your strength and support for each other in this trying time.

  Melanie Stone : [slaps head dramatically]  Oh, gosh! I forgot to check a mirror!

  Tom Stone : No need. You look great.

  Melanie Stone : I'd feel better if I did. I'll be a second. I'll meet you there.

  [as they walk, she gives them a bitter stare and turns around] 

  Melanie Stone : George? Thank you.

  [He taps his breast and begins walking in the direction of Paula and Tom as Melanie runs inside] 

• Melanie Stone : [wrapped in a towel from shower]  I take it the Internet search didn't turn up anything.

  Jack Carlson : [disappointed]  Not a trace. No phone, no address, no e-mail, nothing.

  Melanie Stone : I think I have a way to find him. Tom's computer at the prison has access to federal databases. It can link a-a driver's license number to a Social Security number or tax information, so if Tim has gotten a job, bought an apartment, uh, rented a car, it'd instantly register his current address.

  [Jack looks worried] 

  Melanie Stone : I can do this. I can find him.

  Jack Carlson : It's too risky. I mean, you-you're gonna have to go back with Tom; pretend you're his wife again.

  Melanie Stone : [walks over to him]  Well, I think that's my decision to make. I can handle Tom! Jack, you saved my life. I can do this.

  Jack Carlson : You'd actually risk your life for me? But...

  [pauses] 

  Jack Carlson : the answer is still no. I couldn't live with myself if something happened to you.

  [kisses her tenderly; takes off shirt and she caresses him as he kisses her neck and shoulders and back to her lips. She begins to undo his pants as he kisses her neck again and then undos the towel. They then go to the bed and kiss as her hands knead his body and go up his back as he kisses her on her lips and neck. Presumably they are having sexual intercourse and she orgasms as the scene fades out to Sarah leaving the hotel room with a sleeping Jack inside and a note on the pillow, which reads "STAY PUT. I'LL CALL YOU AS SOON AS I HAVE TIM'S ADDRESS XO M"] 

• Tom Stone : They're having a press conference to talk about your safe return. It's important that you be there.

  Melanie Stone : Should be at the prison.

  Tom Stone : Why is that?

  Melanie Stone : To show that I still have faith in your and your ability to protect me and others from harm. I mean... if we could show all those people that I could stand comfortably by your side, among all those prisoners...

  Tom Stone : It's a good idea.

  [she smiles pleased] 

  Tom Stone : I'll call Paula and have her arrange it.

  [smiles presumably at the thought of talking to Paula and Melanie relaxes knowing he bought it; cut to office] 

  Tom Stone : Thank you all for coming; I'm sure you've all heard the miraculous news. Miraculous. Mir-a-cu-lous.

  [turns to Melanie, who is on the computer database] 

  Tom Stone : Is "miraculous" too much? Yeah, it's too much.

  Melanie Stone : Oh, honey, your tie. It's crooked.

  Tom Stone : Oh! Thank you.

  [begins to straighten the tie] 

  Melanie Stone : [continues with the database search]  You know, i was thinking, we should ask Paula to organize some private interviews. You know, get something on the national news? Could really help with your bid for governor.

  [flips hair innocently] 

  Tom Stone : [points at her]  You're right.

  Melanie Stone : Yeah?

  [knows how he would react to Paula] 

  Tom Stone : Paula should be on that. I'll be right back.

  [yells] 

  Tom Stone : Paula!

  [Melanie finds Terrance while he is momentarily gone] 

  Tom Stone : Paula LOVES the idea!

  Melanie Stone : [nervously smiles]  Yeah?

  Tom Stone : We should really be getting down to the press conference.

  [readies himself; looks back] 

  Tom Stone : Melanie?

  Melanie Stone : Huh? Yeah. Let me just put my shoes on.

  [bends down to presumably put shoes on but copies down information] 

  Tom Stone : [comes to desk suspiciously]  You ready?

  [She doesn't answer and he frowns and comes over, but she quickly ditches the paper and stands up right in front of him] 

  Melanie Stone : Tom? I've missed you.

  [embraces him] 

  Tom Stone : I missed you, too.

  [she works the computer keys to close the screen as he is busy with the hug] 

  Melanie Stone : Hey. Let's get down there.

  [she exits and Tom looks happy but puzzled] 

• Jack Carlson : [in the woods, off-screen, looking for her after she has run off by breaking the window barriers with a crowbar]  Melanie!

  Melanie Stone : [scared]  I'm over here!

  [Jack scurries to her] 

  Melanie Stone : Something's chasing me!

  [Jack brings out his gun] 

  Melanie Stone : Ohh!

  Jack Carlson : [slightly out of breath, concerned]  Are you okay?

  Melanie Stone : [nods, modest]  Thank you.

  [she winces and puts her hand to where she was cut] 

  Jack Carlson : [softly, breathless]  You're bleeding.

  [she nods and, frustrated, turns his head away, then back] 

  Jack Carlson : Let's get outta here.

  [He pushes her to lead the way, looking back for signs of danger]
