• Auggie Anderson : [hostages]  You okay?

  Parker Rowland : [shakily]  Yeah...

  Auggie Anderson : That was good. That was good. He stood up for you. He risked his life. They might just buy that you two are engaged. Now listen to me. I need you to stay close to him. I need you to help me sell it, okay?

  Parker Rowland : [gasping]  Okay... okay... You... you seem to know exactly what to say and do. And just stay so calm. How... how... how do you know all this? How...?

  Auggie Anderson : Hey.

  Parker Rowland : I don't...

  [she's held by him] 

  Auggie Anderson : [makes decision]  I've got to tell you something before Wade gets back.

  [long pause, sighs] 

  Auggie Anderson : I'm with the CIA.

  [her eyes widen] 

  Auggie Anderson : I understand situations like this. People like this. I can keep you safe.

  Parker Rowland : Like, CIA, CIA?

  Auggie Anderson : Yeah.

  Parker Rowland : Is that why we're in this place?

  Auggie Anderson : No, no. But my training is what's gonna get us out.

  Parker Rowland : Wait... wait!

  [holds up hand] 

  Parker Rowland : When...

  [sobs] 

  Parker Rowland : when were you gonna tell me?

  Auggie Anderson : [long pause]  I was gonna tell you the next time you were in D.C.

  [she nods incredulously] 

  Auggie Anderson : Parker, I thought a lot about how to tell you, and believe me, it wasn't like this. I was gonna take three days off of work, just so we could have time to talk about it. I knew that you'd have questions. Look,I... I know that this is hard.

  Parker Rowland : [scoffs]  Hard? Oh, that doesn't begin to describe this.

  Auggie Anderson : Parker, wait, oh, come on!

  Parker Rowland : You proposed to me. And I said yes.

  [scoffs] 

  Parker Rowland : Who was I marrying, Auggie?

  Auggie Anderson : No, no, no. You know who I am, Parker.

  [as she tearfully turns away from him:] 

  Auggie Anderson : Don't do that. Listen to me. I love you. I trust you. Completely. Now, I... I compromised your trust. I'm sorry.

  Parker Rowland : I'm sorry too...

  [he holds out his hand...] 

• Parker Rowland : [back of truck]  Why are they moving us?

  Auggie Anderson : [as the implications dawn on Parker]  It means we need to escape.

• Auggie Anderson : [back of truck, honking heard]  It sounds like we're hitting more traffic. They must be taking us back to the city.

  Wade Moore : Maybe the deal's been made.

  Auggie Anderson : Wade, you heard that explosion. That was a rescue attempt.

  Wade Moore : Maybe there'll be another one.

  Auggie Anderson : [telling it like it is]  Hostages don't survive moves. We need to escape. Now, if we're heading back to the city, that means roadblocks. That's gonna be our best shot.

  Parker Rowland : No... No!

  Auggie Anderson : [calmly]  Parker. I know you don't wanna hear this right now, but you need to trust me.

  Parker Rowland : No, I'm frozen, Auggie, okay? Okay, that's how terrifying this is... I just...

  Auggie Anderson : [calmly]  Okay, you can do this. I need you. Now, we are gonna get out of this together. Okay?

  Parker Rowland : Okay.
