Just come in like a
bull in a China shop.
This isn't the wild
west, it's Europe.
And you need to be a
hell of a lot more subtle
when dealing in my
business affairs.
You hired me because
I have a track record
for solving problems.
Okay, sometimes my methods
are not exactly conventional,
but then again, that's
why you hired me.
Now, listen, Beaumont,
you personally have
50 million euros
riding on this project,
and my job is to
protect your investment.
Ah, everything satisfactory?
Are you making a joke?
[BEAUMONT] No, certainly
not, what's wrong?
Bribery, Mr. Beaumont.
Bribery?
And who exactly are you
accusing of this terrible thing?
I intend to find out.
Your associate here
polluted a substantial sum
to ignore serious problems in
your electrical installation.
I don't know how things
work in the United States,
but here, we have integrity
in our construction practices.
I merely offered
to compensate you
for your efforts, Ms. Hoff.
Do you really think
I'm that kind of person?
Come on, Eveline, we're
trying to work with you,
not against you...
Let me apologize
for Mr. Steele's
poor communication skills.
I want to inform you,
I will be reporting
your business practices
to the authorities.
Eveline, please, I
don't think we have...
Good day, sirs!
Ms. Hoff, let me
take you downstairs.
No, thank you, I know the way.
I'm sure you do, but
you're not going anywhere.
[EVELINE] Ha!
Not without the safety key.
She's texting someone.
Well, leave nothing to
chance, as you put it.
A cellphone jammer.
(PENSIVE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
(GASPING)
(SCREAMING)
Watch your step.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
(PENSIVE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
Bury her.
(PENSIVE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
(SIGHS)
What a beautiful day.
(BOLD INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
(CHURCH BELLS RINGING)
Come on, you can't be
bored with the city yet.
So much to see and do.
The Vanderburgh
Museum, St. Paul's,
that guy Ruben's house.
St. Paul's, museums, you
know we did all that stuff,
- the kids hated it.
- Yeah, I hear ya'.
I can't stand all that
tourist nonsense myself,
I wish they would
just tear it all down,
and let us build it right.
Tom, we'd make a killing.
I don't know, how about the zoo?
The zoo?
Oh my god, no, no, it would
remind me way too much
of my day to day existence.
[MAN OVER PHONE]
Hello darkness.
Hey, Ben!
Do not chase your sister,
we're here to have a
good time in the park!
Put your electronics away, okay.
What's goin' on
with you and Brianna?
Married bliss wearing
thin, honeymoon over?
Honeymoon was 15 years
ago, James, remember?
[JAMES] Is it that long?
Ben!
What'd I just tell you?
[JAMES] I told you I would
be there for you, remember?
Easy, easy, brother, I'm not
lookin' for a divorce lawyer
especially not one
as expensive as you.
Expensive, come on, you
know I'll give you a discount.
No, we just need to
figure some stuff out.
She's just on the
road all the time,
and she's just
focused on her work.
I know it's a cliche,
but there's just no
time for us anymore.
[JAMES] You sure she doesn't
do somethin' on the side?
Yeah, because that's
really what I need
to hear right now,
man, thank you.
It's the number one
reason spouses go cold.
James, please, shut up.
Alright, consider this.
Do you even know what
or who she's doing
right now in Paris,
city of lovers?

In conclusion,
the UBX Tower built
by Beaumont & Associates
has been designed
to be one of the
most energy efficient
and safest buildings
on the market today.
(CLAPPING)
Wonderful.
Well, thank you
very much, Brianna.
That means a lot coming
from a structural
- engineer of your caliber.
- You're very welcome, Hans.
Now, I just need to oversee
the physical inspection
to ensure that your dream
has been fully realized.
Sure, and I look forward to
continuing our partnership.
So, you're
confirming that Brianna
will continue the project.
Of course, we already
talked about that.
Basic due diligence
before any acquisition.
Of course.
[HANS] Alright then,
that's it for today.
We'll have a decision for
you in the next quarter.
Fantastic, and we're still
on for dinner this evening.
Oh yes, we have a table
reserved for eight o'clock
in my favorite restaurant.
I would appreciate it if
Mrs. Bronson would join us.
- I'm afraid that won't be...
- Hans...
On a project of this magnitude,
it's imperative that we all
feel comfortable
about each other.
And now that Mrs.
Bronson is involved with,
how do call it...
Our ongoing partnership.
Let me talk to her.
Brianna, I'm afraid
you'll have to spend
one more night in Paris.
But I'm on the next
train back to Antwerp.
Please, Brianna, Beaumont
is known for being kind of...
Touchy.
I'd really love for things to
go smooth between all of us.
- Sure, of course.
- Thank you.
(SLOW INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
Call Tom.
Anne, take the ref.
Yes!
(CHEERING)
[ANNE] Stop it, stop it!
[TOM] Don't hit your sister.
[ANNE] Dad, you're going down!
[TOM OVER PHONE] Hey there,
this is Tom, leave a message.
Hey, honey,
something's come up.
The client wants
me to stay later,
so I'm gonna have to take the
train home tomorrow morning.
Call me, okay, love you, bye.
(CAMERA SHUTTERING)
(PENSIVE MUSIC)
The Bronson woman will
become a big problem
if allowed to keep
digging into this.
Yeah, she doesn't
really strike me
as the kickback type either.
I know, but this
time try using
a little more finesse.
I mean, we're not
cowboys for god's sake.
Don't worry, let's
just stick to the plan.
I mean, she's a wife and a mom.
We'll just make it about family.
I'll take her out of the game.
I want her gone before the
start of the next quarter.
She will be, and then you
can get Granger to decide.
Okay.
You have three hours to
put everything into place.
Yes, sir.
(PENSIVE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
Brianna?
- Now, that's a surprise!
- Oh...
Hey, what you doing here?
You don't live in
Antwerp anymore?
Ah, yes, I do, I'm
so sorry, do I...
Don't tell me you
don't recognize me.
Bert's friend, from
New Year's Eve.
Two, no maybe three years ago.
- Oh, I'm so...
- I'm so glad!
- Bert.
- Bert's friend.
Hey, I'm, I'm so sorry,
but I'm late for dinner,
- and I'm late, and...
- Okay, I got it.
And we should stay in
touch, okay, in Antwerp.
Yeah...
Sure.
(PENSIVE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
(CAMERA SHUTTERING)
(PENSIVE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
I'm sure that
you'll be signing off
the project very soon, Hans.
I feel very, very honored
about the whole thing.
You know the sure
thing, ah, there she is.
I am so sorry that I'm late.
[HANS] Oh no, don't be.
[BRIANNA] Hi.
Hi.
So, Hans has been
telling me that you're
an expert rock climber.
(LAUGHS)
Well, I would not say expert,
but I love it, that's for sure.
And you've been doing
this for how long?
Since I was a little girl.
When I finished my
studies I wanted to be
a mountain rescuer.
(LAUGHS)
So, what made you give it up?
Tom, my husband.
Ah...
So, you exchanged one
passion for another passion.
(LAUGHS)
Any regrets?
No, no regrets.
I wanted to have a family,
so I just had to change
the order of my priorities.
So, how do you handle
all of this then?
You seem to have a strange
view of being a woman.
But I can have a
career, and a family,
and a passion, no problem.
Well, what about some wine?
(VIBRATING)
(SLOW PIANO MUSIC)
(SLOW INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
(SENTIMENTAL INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
Hello, there.
(SLOW INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
Let me call you back.
(PENSIVE MUSIC)
(RINGING)
Hello?
Yeah, immediately.
I'm powering it up.
(PENSIVE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
(RINGING)
We're at 64% here.
I'm gonna let me guys
finish the prep work on it.
Okay.
It's all good, you can start.
You got it.
Eric...
You'll never guess who
I saw in the lobby.
Brianna Bronson.
I thought she was
off the project.
- What's she doin' here?
- A beautiful coincidence.
Her husband's divorce
lawyer is a partner
down at Lando &
Associates on the 60th.
Really, so then nothing
to do with this building?
Nothing, just another
failed marriage.
Those photographs
worked beautifully.
She couldn't return to
Paris, so she had to resign.
So, you see, there's no need
for any further bloodshed.
You know, actually
this whole thing cost us
a little more than expected.
We had to pay off the new
engineer, the inspector.
But luckily, it all kind
of worked out in the end.
We passed inspection, so
closing is only a week away.
Perfect, god,
it's hot in here.
What the hell's going on
with the air conditioning?
You know, that's an
interesting question,
especially coming from
the person who installed
an AC system at
about half the cost
in 40% of the
recommended capacity.
(BEEPING)
(PENSIVE MUSIC)
Hold on.
(BEEPING)
Hey, I'm a little worried here.
My power consumption
just jumped up to 75%.
Are you sure it's within spec?
Alright.
- It's fine, back to work.
- You got it.
Yeah, got it.
Well, I hope we got it right.
Tom?
Tom, can I have two
minutes with you, please?
Sure.
So, you sure that you
wanna go through with this?
Because this is the last
chance that we've got
to put this horrible
prank behind us.
Prank?
Well, it's definitely been that.
But the point is that
I've lost all trust
in you and our marriage.
What more do I have
to do to convince you?
I told you a hundred times
I didn't have an affair.
I quit the job in Paris, I
am spending as much time here
as I possibly can to
prove to you how important
our marriage and the
children are to me.
You know, I always thought
that I would be the kind of guy
that could put something
like this behind him.
Forget it ever happened...
I guess it turns
out that I'm not.
[MAN] Come on, let me
take you to a movie tonight.
So, it's a movie, then
dinner, and then what?
And then...
I get it, I get it.
Can't you be a
little more romantic?
What do you want?
I like flowers.
Okay, I promise you a
flower by the end of the day.
Thank you, goodbye.
Nice to see you again,
Mr. Bronson, good morning.
Mr. Levine is waiting for you.
Please, follow me.
She says to me, "Yeah, this
one's eating my popcorn."
(LAUGHS)
I gotta go.
Tom, Brianna, come on in.
[WOMAN] Sir.
Hello, Ms. Minor,
nice to see you.
I'd like to welcome you
all to our new offices.
What a beautiful tower,
isn't it, Mrs. Bronson.
Perhaps, it'd be
best if we got started.
Yeah, let's get
this over with.
Absolutely, please.
How were the children
doing this morning?
Oh, yeah, they're fine.
Can't wait to officially
live without a father.
I don't think
Daddy's gonna be happy
that we're looking
at these pictures.
- Are you gonna tell him?
- Maybe, maybe not.
It depends, what
will you give me?
In your dreams, Anne.
I feel like something's wrong.
I've looked a zillion
times already, Ben.
I'm telling you, it really seems
that Mom had a
boyfriend in Paris.
It's weird.
Each time they kiss,
the shots are closer.
Okay, so...
I don't know.
The shots don't seem to
be in a logical order.
So, you think this is fake?
I don't know yet.
Hmm, what did you
pit in this, Anne?
Same as usual.
(BEEPING)
(SUSPENSEFUL INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
I got it, look.
You see the passage
behind this shot?
Yeah, so?
Well, they should
be somewhere up here,
but it's like they
just disappeared.
Yeah, you're right.
It looks like this photo was
taken at a different time.
Exactly, they don't match.
That's why every time they
kiss these are mid shots
to avoid the passersby.
And that's why we
never see Mom's face
when she's kissing the guy.
Two different persons.
Mom, and someone else
dressed like her.
Why would anyone do that?
We have to tell Dad.
What do you think
I'm doing, Anne?
Come on, sometimes
you're such a brat.
Great...
Dad doesn't answer his phone,
and Mom's is turned off.
Probably because they're
at the lawyer's office.
I bet the lawyer's
address is in his emails.
Here it is,
Lando & Associates.
60th floor at the UBX Tower.
- Call the cab.
- Don't be mad, Anne.
That would be even worse.
- Ben!
- Damn, okay.
(PENSIVE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
And that was a problem.
She was selfish, unavailable...
She was focused on her career,
rather than her family,
and then the affair.
I did not have an affair!
Well, I guess it
was just the straw
that broke the
camel's back then.
I have made so many
sacrifices to prove
to you that I love you.
You...
You are the one who is
throwing this marriage away.
My client is right.
The incriminating photos
are no tangible evidence.
But you were unable
to bring us any proof
that these photos were faked.
That's why we're here today.
- Still not answering?
- No.
Try again.
Look, Anne, he's not
answering his phone.
What's so hard to understand?
Maybe you got
the wrong number.
I don't have the wrong...
Look, you don't
even have a phone.
How would you know?
I'm gonna get a phone one day.
You're gonna have
to grow up a lot
before that's gonna happen, hey!
(SUSPENSEFUL INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
(SPEAKING IN NATIVE LANGUAGE)
Sorry, do you speak English?
Yeah, I do, calm
down, can I help you?
Yeah, we really need
to see our parents,
- it's really quite urgent.
- Where are they?
Upstairs at the
lawyer's office.
Lando & Associates.
Please, please,
we have to see them.
It's really important.
60th floor, hold
on, do me a favor.
When you see the
pretty receptionist,
her name is Adria,
give her this for me.
- Okay, I will.
- Come on this way.
(BEEPING)
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)
- Thank you.
- You're welcome.
We made it, Ben.
Yeah, well,
anything can happen.
Let me see that.
He's an awful artist.
No girl is ever
gonna fall for that.
I think it's romantic.
Princesses,
romance, what next?
I hope a boy draws
that for me one day.
You wish, Anne.
(BEEPING)
What the hell?
Shut it off!
[MAN] What?
Shut it off!

anything else to her outburst?
Not for now, thank you.
(SIRENS BLARING)
- Fire alarm, do we care?
- I'll look into it.
(SIRENS BLARING)
Adria?
[ADRIA] Yes, sir.
Be a good girl,
and go downstairs,
and find out what's
going on, please.
- Yes, sir..
- Thank you.

(SIRENS BLARING)
There's been an

We need to evacuate
the building,

unit here now.

How bad is it?
You keep me up to speed on this.
Machine room problems on 20.
- Something overloaded.
- Dammit.
Couldn't it have held
for just one more week?
They said they'll have
it under control soon.
(PENSIVE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
No, Anne, Anne, you don't
know what you're doing!
What are we gonna do, Ben?
- What are we gonna do?
- Shut up!
I don't know!

stuck in the elevator!
Help, help!
Help us!

It's no use.

Is there anyone?
[ANNE] Yes, help us,
we're stuck in the elevator!
[MAN] I hear you.
We're gonna get out of here.
(SIRENS BLARING)
[MAN] Are you alright?
Yes, please help us,
get us out of here!
I can't do it on my own.
I need to go and get some help.
No, no, don't leave us!
Don't leave us!
I have to close the door,
otherwise the smoke'll kill you.
No!

(SUSPENSEFUL INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
Ready?
Thank you, Mark.
The UBX Tower, on of the
newest structures in Antwerp
and one of the tallest
buildings in Europe is on fire.
(DRAMATIC INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
It appears the fire is
emanating from the 20th floor.
The building searches
the UBX Tower,
there are more than
60 stories tall.
Firefighters are limited
in the way to deal
with fire such as this.
You may remember the fire
in the Green Tower in 1979,
which was left to
burn out for two days
because there were no
ladders of firefighting tools
capable of reaching floors
over the 30th floor.
Oh my god.
We need to get
out of here before
this becomes another 9-11.
9-11 was commercial
jets full of fuel,
this is a very
different situation.
This building is
not gonna come down.
(SIRENS BLARING)
Do you see the
size of those flames?
There are fire
suppression systems
throughout this building.
The safest thing
that we could all do
is just stay here and
wait till they put it out.
You seem pretty
confident about
these fire suppression systems.
This is her business, she
knows what she's talking about.
Yeah, well, I'm in
the business of getting
the hell out of a building
when it's on fire.
Alright, let's all
figure out the best way
- to get out of here.
- I'll take the first one.
The first what?
Elevator, stairs,
or stay, yes?
I'll take elevators anytime.
Yeah, well, that's a bad
idea because you have no idea
what condition the
elevators are in.
They could be filled
with toxic smoke.
I'm afraid I'm with
my wife on this one.
9-11, the ones
who got out first
were the ones who lived.
Who's with me?
Moving down the building
towards the fire itself
could actually increase
your chances of survival
by reducing the amount of
smoke you may encounter.
Don't, don't...
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
You're not coming?
No.
If you do anything,
take the stairs.
They were at least designed
to be a fire refuge.
But down 60 floors?
That's gonna take forever.
I'd rather take my
chances on the elevators.
(SIRENS BLARING)
(SLOW INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
No, please, don't.
I'm sorry.
(PENSIVE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)
(SIRENS BLARING)
Adria, where are you?
I'm up top, Paul!
Everyone's taking the elevator.
What, wait, what's that?
They're taking the elevator!
Should I go down with them?
The elevator, no,
don't use the elevators.
Stay away from it,
use the stairs!
Oh my god, don't, please!
Sorry, you'll have to take
the next one, we're full!
No!
(SIRENS BLARING)
Fire expert, Jeanne Michele,
says a fire such as this
is usually by various
fire suppression systems
built into the building.
Why those systems haven't
been able to control
the fire so far
is quite unusual.
It makes the whole
installation and operation
of various fire suppression
systems of the UBX Tower...
Hey, Ben...
What?
Where?
- What is it?
- Hold on.
What floor?
Where, what floor?
Wait, what's going on?
Hold on, Ben.
They're here.
What do you mean
here, what here...
- Here in the building?
- Yeah, here in the building.
They're stuck in an elevator.
Well, what floor are they?
I don't know somewhere
near the fire.
Well, are they above
or below the fire...
I don't know!
Give me the phone,
just give me the phone!
Ben, honey?
What floor are you on?
There should be a
number in the elevator.
Can you see a number?
No, the last
number I saw before
the lights went out was 20.
We should be somewhere just
below the 20th floor now.
(PENSIVE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
There's lots of smoke and fire.
He started coughing because
of the smoke and left.
Okay, Ben, I need
you to take your shirt,
and I need you to put
it over your mouth,
and you need to tell
Anne to take her shirt,
and put it over her
mouth and over her nose.
You needs to breath
through your shirts.
Do you understand?
[BEN] Yes.
Use your shirt,
that's it, that's it.
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)
God dammit.
(DRAMATIC INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
We have a dozen people
in an elevator, sir.
They're coming down
from the 60th floor.
Well, I guess that
we need to get 'em out.
Now, lieutenant, go.
Tough break.
They say we should stop
the elevator and walk down.
Yeah, whatever.
Why did we do this anyway?
Relax, everything's fine.
We're goin' down.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
(COUGHING)
It smells like smoke.
Didn't she say the
smoke might be lethal?
(COUGHING)
(RUMBLING)
Cover your mouths, everyone!
- (COUGHING)
- Help, help!
Let me out!
(COUGHING)
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)
(SUSPENSEFUL INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
We do not have any
reports on how many
dead or injured people
are caused by the fire
here at the UBX Tower.
We do have an official report
that at least 12 people are
trapped in the elevators
where the fire destroyed
various power systems
on the 20th floor.
We have a major gas
leak in the basement.
We need to widen the perimeter
of the safety zone, go.
Get the dosing meter out.
Let's find out
what's in the air.
Yes, captain.
- Lieutenant James, base camp.
- Go on, lieutenant.
How are we doing
with this elevator?
[JAMES] I'm so sorry, Captain,
we couldn't override it.
We had to get up there,
but it was too late.
What do you mean too late?
They're all dead.
Okay, I'm coming.
It is our understanding
that the UBX Tower
was actually built by an
international investment group
headed by venture
capitalist, Lucas Beaumont.
What the hell are
we gonna do, Eric?
Wait for them to take control
of the fire, then what?
Sir, you need to get a grip.
What, would you rather
talk to the press
about all the buildings safety
features that didn't work.
What do you propose?
Call my chopper guy.
We have attempted
contacting official
representatives of the firm...
Hey, this is Eric.
Look, I need a pick-up.
As soon as possible.
(PENSIVE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
Okay.
Alright.
He's gonna be here in 20.
Lucas!
We need to clean up, now!
(SUSPENSEFUL INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
We gotta trash everything.
(DRAMATIC INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
Mom and I are gonna
get you out of there,
- just stay put, okay.
- Everything's gonna be fine.
[BEN] Okay.
Anne, do you hear me?
[ANNE] I hear you, Daddy.
- The phone battery's low.
- Really, where is it at?
[BEN] 60%.
Okay, we're gonna
have to save the power.
I am going to hang up, and
then we'll call you back
as soon as we have a
plan together, okay?
[ANNE] No!
Don't hang up the phone, Dad!
You trust me, don't you?
Yes.
Then trust me when I tell
you that everything is fine.
I'm gonna go now.
Okay.
Okay, Daddy.
I love you both,
and don't worry,
everything is gonna be fine.
- I love you, Mommy.
- Me too.
(COUGHING)
I hate doing that.
What do you mean, doing what?
Lying to them like that.
Oh, now you have
a problem lying?
Well, just stop,
okay, just, just stop!
(COUGHING)
(SLOW INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
It's gonna be
alright, isn't it?
Yeah...
Of course.
Come here.
(SLOW INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
Just help me, help
me, help me open this.
Just...
[TOM] Oh my god.
Ben!
Ben!
Okay, we'll have
to take the stairs.
No, they're on the 20th floor,
we're on the 60th, it's
gonna take too long!
(VIBRATING)
It's them.
Hello?
[BEN] Dad, there's
a lot of smoke!
It's getting really hard
to breathe! (COUGHING)
(SUSPENSEFUL INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
The fire started
on the 20th floor
in the maintenance area.
Well, it spread
a good deal by now
if the sprinklers
aren't working.
Have you cut the power yet?
Not yet.
Send someone to cut it.
We don't need anymore accidents.
What are we gonna do
about the elevators?
Bring 'em down, now.
(SUSPENSEFUL INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
Smoke, you can't go anymore!
Oh...
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
(COUGHING)
[BEN] Dad, hurry!
The smoke's getting
really thick!
Listen, hold your shirts
in front of your faces.
Breathe through your shirts.
Yeah, we know, we already are!
Ben, Ben, in the ceiling is
a hatch behind the lighting.
Can you see it?
[BEN] Yes!
Can you get to it?
(COUGHING)
[BEN] Hold this.
(COUGHING)
Ah!
It's too high, and the
railings really slippery.
Ben the smoke is poison.
You have to get you and
Anne out of the elevator
as soon as you can,
do you understand me?
[BEN] Yes.
Okay, so you've
gotta get out, think!
[BEN] We can't reach it!
Can Anne get on your
shoulders, can she reach it?
[BEN] I think so.
Well, because then
she can open the hatch.
[BEN] Yeah, maybe, we can try.
No, Ben, you need to do this.
Ben, you hear what your Mom
is saying, you understand?
Yes, but she's heavy.
(COUGHING)
Ben, listen to me, you
can do this, I know you can.
Okay, you gotta work together.
[BEN] Alright, let's go.
[TOM] Do you hear
me, you can do this.
(COUGHING)
(PENSIVE MUSIC)
[BEN] Come on.
I can't do it, Ben!
[BEN] Yes, you
can, Anne, come on!
You have to do this!
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)
Push as hard as you can.
Come on, push, push, Anne, push.
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)
(COUGHING)
You got this, Anne, come on!
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)
That's it, come on.
Yes, we did it.
(COUGHING)
I can't do it, Ben.
- Let me down now.
- No, Anne!
Anne, what are you doing?
You have to climb up.
You go first, I won't be
able to pull you up, Ben.
You trained with Mom, you go.
(COUGHING)
Okay.
Okay, let's go.
(GRUNTING)
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)
You did it, Ben!
He's doing it!
The battery died, it's only 8%.
[TOM] Hang up now,
we'll call back, okay.
We've checked the
north side, come on.
We're gonna check the
south side elevators.
Come on, come on.
(BLASTING)
(SCREAMING)
[BEN] Anne!
Anne, are you alright?
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)
(COUGHING)
(SUSPENSEFUL INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
(COUGHING)
(SCREAMING)
Anne!
Here, take this!
Come on!
(SCREAMING)
Anne, come on, you've
gotta climb up now!
[ANNE] I can't reach.
Use the railing!
Come on, Anna, you
have to do this!
Do it for Mom and Dad!
Think Spiderman!
That's it.
[BRIANNA] Ben!
Ben?
Ben!
Mom!
Mom, we're here!
[ANNE] Mom!
- They're there!
- They're here!
They're good.
Okay, we just gotta
get down to them.
- You push.
- You crazy?
No, push it all the way back.
Hold it.
[TOM] Okay, hold on.
(RINGING)
Dad?
Dad, it's really
hard to hear you.
Tell him the
elevator's on fire!
[BEN] Dad, the
elevator's on fire!
The elevator is on fire!
Get away from the
smoke, get to a vent!
Ben, did you hear that?
- Find a vent!
- What?
An air duct, it's like
a pipe with fresh air.
Can you see anything like that?
Yeah, yeah, I see one.
Good, avoid the smoke,
and get to that vent.
Dad, I have no idea how I'm
gonna get there, it's high.
I understand, Ben,
everything's alright.
But I'm gonna hang up
now to save the battery.
You need to find a way
to get to that vent.
- Okay.
- Okay.
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)
(COUGHING)
Come on!
There's no way I'm
getting up there from here.
Okay, I'm gonna
climb the ladder.
I'm just gonna
check if it's safe.
You stay here, okay.
(COUGHING)
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)
Okay, Anne, your turn, come on.
- No, Ben, I can't!
- Don't worry, okay.
We're just gonna take
this one step at a time.
We have to emergency
crown the elevators.
We can't have anyone
else getting trapped
they're suffocating
in the smoke.
Got it.
Alright, just climb
up the ladder until
you're in line with me, yeah?
I'm gonna come over,
and help you across.
You think you can do
that for me, Anne?
(PENSIVE MUSIC)
(SCREAMING)
- Ben!
- Anne!
Ben!
Ben!
- Ben!
- Anne!
Oh, shit.
They're grounding the elevators.
Oh god.
Wait, what are you doing?
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)
You sure about this?
There's no other way.
Uh!
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)
Come and find us!
Uh!
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)
Ben, Anne?
Mom!
Mom!
I'm on my way there,
stay where you are!
Mom, it's Anne!
[BRIANNA] Just stay there!
(SLAMMING)
(SCREAMING)
Mom, don't fall!
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)
Mom, Mom, no!
Ben, just hold on.
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)
Mom, no, don't fall!
Ben, please, just, be quiet.
I need to focus.
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)
(YELLING)
Mom, Mom, are you okay?
Yeah.
Where's your sister?
She's, she's, gone.
What do you mean?
Where is she?
Ben...
Ben!
I don't know!
When the elevators went
down, she was on the roof.
It took her down there.
You think she's okay?
(HEAVY BREATHING)
She's gonna be fine.
Don't worry.
(COUGHING)
Ahh!
Ahh!
Hello?
Is anyone in here?
(COUGHING)
Hello!
Could someone please help me?
Please!
Can anyone hear me?
Captain...
Our first team will be
getting to the point of origin
in just a couple of minutes.
Alright, lieutenant,
how's evacuation going?
We have just
about everyone out.
Make sure.
Jeanne, how are we
doin' on the ground.
Everyone is back 100 meters,
but we haven't been
able to shut off
the gas leak in the garage.
It's just a matter of time
before somethin' sets it off.
Better make sure there's
no one left behind
- on the ground, you got that?
- Got it.
Good, let's keep it that way.
Are you sure everyone got
off the from the 60th floor?
Lando & Associates?
[JEANNE] There's
nobody inside.
(PENSIVE MUSIC)
(COUGHING)
Oh, no.
Ben...
Ben, we can't stay here forever.
Can you make it over here?
No way, Mom.
(GASPING)
Oh god.
Alright, just run through
it, just run through it.
(COUGHING)
(GASPING)
(SIZZLING)
(SHRIEKING)
(COUGHING)
Awe, bad move.
(SUSPENSEFUL INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
Oscar 9-9-5, we're
approaching UBX Tower.
Fire causing stability issues
with the landing platform.
Advice for immediate departure.
Okay, he's here.
I'm almost done.
What's gonna keep them from
finding the inspector's body
in the bottom of the rubble.
We'll just see,
be long gone by now.
Besides, if we're lucky,
they'll miss the
connection altogether.
- We were so close.
- Yeah, let's get out of here.
Come on.
(HELICOPTER BLADES BEATING)
Oh, no, oh, no.
(COUGHING)
(HELICOPTER BLADES BEATING)

(SLOW INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
[NICK] I need oxygen!
[JEANNE] Where was he?
Easy there, sir, we got you.
We're gonna catch our
breath for a second,
then we'll get you out of here.
(GASPING)
[NICK] Whoa, whoa, calm down.
No, no, no, no!
No, no!
My wife and kids.
[NICK] What's that?
My wife and kids!
They're in the elevators.
[JEANNE] In the shaft?
Yeah, come on, help me.
We have to find them.
[JEANNE] Which shaft?
[TOM] I'll show you.
[NICK] No, you're
getting evacuated!
No, you don't
know where they are.
[NICK] You don't
have any gear!
You need to get out of here!
It's my family.
[NICK] Sir, you can help them
by letting us do our job.
No, you can't stop me.
[JEANNE] We don't
have time for this.
[NICK] The fire
is in the walls.
It is unpredictable
and dangerous!
We won't be able to protect you.
Are you sure?
I'm sure, yes!
Okay, there's no time!
They're around the 20th
floor, in the south shaft.
[NICK] We'll take the stairs.
Okay.
(PENSIVE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
[NICK] Go, go!
(SLAMMING)
[JEANNE] That
was really brave.
[NICK] And it was stupid.
20th floor, you said?
Two more floors to go!
Let's go, let's go!
[JEANNE] It is warm.
[NICK] That's the
point of origin.
It should've burnt out by now.
(SLOW INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
(COUGHING)
[JEANNE] Which shaft
did you say it was, south?
[TOM] Yes.
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)
[NICK] Look out!
(CRASHING)
(SCREAMING)
Ben, look at me.
Look at me!
Ben, you need to do this.
I can't, Mom, I
just can't do it!
Oh god.
Ben, hey...
You remember our
seaside vacations?
Remember the villa at
the edge of the cliff?
We'd have picnics
everyday on the beach,
and you and Anne just loved it?
You remember that?
And those two big rocks
that came out of the sand.
You thought they were so huge,
but they weren't
actually that big,
but they were bigger than you.
And you'd stand on one, and
then I'd stand on the other,
and I would put my
hand out to you.
And you would reach across,
grab my hand, and jump.
You remember than Anne
used to get so scared,
but you thought it was the
funniest thing in the world?
- I called her chicken.
- Yeah.
She was just scared for you.
Yeah...
(SENTIMENTAL INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
Ben...
(PENSIVE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)
Ahh!
Uh!
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)
- Grab the ladder.
- Okay.
Ahh!
Ugh!
I can't reach it!
Ben, you can!
[BEN] It's too far away!
Ugh!
[BEN] I can't!
Ben!
[BEN] Mom, I can't!
Ahh!
[TOM] Oh my god.
(YELLING)
Oh my god.
Ben.
Ben!
No, no...
The gird.
Hang on!
Hang on!
(SUSPENSEFUL INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
Come on, push it!
I got you.
Come on.
(TRIUMPHANT INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
Ben, where's Anne?
[BRIANNA] Ben, Ben.
Brianna, what
happened to Anne?
He said that the
last he saw is she was
holding onto the cables when
they grounded the elevators.
That's more than
20 stories down.
Well, we have to go
down there and find her.
There's absolutely no
goin' into the basement.
We have a major gas leak.
The entire building
could blow at moment.
Lieutenant, we need to find
her, one way or the other.
We have a gas leak in the
building that's on fire.
Do you understand
the math, ma'am?
We have to get you
out of here, now.
We'll send a separate
party to look for her
as soon as we get the
gas leak under control.
Now, you listen to me, my
daughter is in the basement,
and I am going down there.
There's no way to get there.
The entire basement
has been sealed off.
Elevator shafts.
What?
My daughter is waiting at the
bottom of the elevator shaft
and I am going down to get her.
So, get me rope, get me oxygen,
and give me gloves, now!
Are you crazy lady?
You can't climb down
a 20 story shaft.
You listen to me, my
wife has been climbing
since she was a kid.
Hell, she climbed
Eiger twice unassisted.
Jeanne, let's give
her what she wants.
[JEANNE] Yes, sir.
I love you two, don't
worry, I'm gonna find her.
The radio may not work
when you get down there.
But the locating beeping will.
We have 50 meters of rope.
It's about 300 feet
down to the bottom.
I wasn't planning on
tying off to the building.
(PENSIVE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
This is all my fault.
No, hey, hey,
it's not your fault.
No, it is.
None of this would've happened
if we hadn't come to see you.
Why did you come to see us?
We found proof that
the pictures of Mom
with that guy were fake
so we wanted to tell you.
Come on, we have to
get you out of here.
(SLOW INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
Someone is still
alive after the wreckage
of the downed chopper.
I've just been told that
it's Luca Beaumont himself,
the man behind the tower.
Mr. Beaumont may have
survived the helicopter crash,
but I'm not sure
he's going to survive
the fire investigation
into this building.
Captain, we just
found a woman's body
encased in some concrete.
Encased in concrete?
Affirmative captain,
between the ground zero,
and the parking at ground level.
It's the crater, created by
the AC, crushed the concrete,
- and released the dead body.
- What the hell?
And there was this
tag attached to her.
Eveline Hoff, who is she?
Eveline Hoff?
Did you say Eveline Hoff?
She was reported
missing a year ago.
[CAPTAIN] And how do you know?
Come on, it's my job,
and it was on the news.
She was a building
inspector on this tower.
And she suddenly disappeared.
(PENSIVE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

Anne!
We have to send a team
down there to find them.
There's no time,
we have to get out of
- the blast area soon.
- Wait, wait!
What do you mean
there's no time?
Gas could ignite any second.
Come on, we have to get clear.
Wait, my wife and daughter
are in that building!
And you have to get them out!
Listen to me, there's
nothing I can do
for your wife and
daughter without risking
- other people's lives!
- Brianna!
- Dad!
- Let me go!
Get off me!
My wife is in that building!
Get off me!

You did so good.
You did so good to hide here.
You did so good, you're
such a brave girl.
Good girl.
Keep breathing.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay, Anne, we've gotta
get out of here, okay,
you and me, as fast as we can.
Do you understand?
I'm gonna take this off.
Okay, ready?
