Jack:
[regains consciousness] I'm tied down. Why am I tied down?

Gwen:
They're in my eyes.

Jack:
What?

Gwen:
They're in my eyes. The contacts, they're in my eyes. Somebody's taken Anwen, Rhys, my mother, the whole bloody family. And they've said if I bring you, they'll let them go unharmed. Don't try moving. You'll never get out of those knots.

Jack:
My hands are asleep. And my feet. You tied my feet?

Gwen:
Of course I did, stupid. Otherwise you'd get out of the car, knock me out and turn the car around.

Jack:
Are you sure they have your family?

Gwen:
I phoned a hundred times. There's no reply. They've got them.

Jack:
I want to talk to the lenses. Look at me so I can talk to them.

Gwen:
Why do you always keep thinking you can tell me what to do?

Jack:
Pull over, or look into the rear view. Just, please, let me talk to them.

Gwen:
Don't cock this up, okay?

[Gwen looks at Jack in the rear view mirror]

Jack:
Listen, whoever you are, there's more than one way to play this. Are you listening?

Gwen:
Yeah, there's a cursor. They're there.

Jack:
You want me? Let her family go and I'll come to you alone.

Gwen:
Tell them they can have me too.

Jack:
No, just me. Let Rhys go, let Anwen go, let her mother go free. You guys, you know what? Here I am. You got me.

Gwen:
Nothing.

Jack:
Give them a minute.

Gwen:
There's just nothing now.

Jack:
Maybe they're thinking about it.

Gwen:
My mother's name is Mary. Mary! You've known me all this time and you can't remember her name?

Jack:
All right, I'm sorry, okay?

Gwen:
Yeah, well, you should be, because this is all your fault. They want to kill you, but why do they want to do that?

Jack:
I don't know.

Gwen:
What have you done?

Jack:
I don't know!

Gwen:
Well you've done something haven't you? Way back when in that long bloody life of yours. God, you've lived so long you can't remember half of it! Now you think. Think! What the hell have you done?
