His client is losing
and he'll take what he can get -

:10:06
nuisance value at $10,000.
:10:08
- That's hitting him pretty hard.
- (Phone)

:10:13
- Yes?
- Les? One word - tennis.

:10:16
- Yes?
- Don't forget.

:10:21
What? Who is this? Hello?
:10:25
(Leslie) Hello?
:10:30
What is it?
:10:32
We'd better call the police.
:10:35
That man on the phone
said he's got my husband.

:10:39
- (Man) I want men posted here, out of sight.
- (Phone)

:10:43
- I don't want neighbours calling the police.
- Mr Carlson.

:10:48
Hoffman, this is Carlson.
We don't want any press leaks.

:10:52
I don't want to have to add up
all the favours you owe me. Nor do you.

:10:56
Right.
:10:58
- It'll stay out of the papers for now.
- Thank you.

:11:01
- Is that tap-in ready?
- Not quite yet, sir.

:11:04
We'll be able to monitor any phone calls
that come in, Mrs Williams.

:11:09
- Will you be able to trace the calls?
- Maybe.

:11:11
Unfortunately, the kidnapper usually keeps
the calls short.

:11:15
But with this tape
we can make voice prints,

:11:18
helping us with identifications.
:11:20
There's something I have to ask you.
I want you to be honest.

:11:24
Of course.
:11:25
After I pay the ransom, what are
the chances of getting my husband back?

:11:30
I'll be honest with you.
There's no way of knowing.

:11:33
All we can do is hope for the best.
We'll do everything we can.

:11:37
- Of course you will, I know that.
- Let's try and be optimistic.

:11:42
He's probably fine,
you'll have him back in 24 hours.

:11:45
- That's... That's all I want.
- (Phone)

:11:48
Excuse me.
:11:55
Carlson. Yes, I'll hold.
:11:57
