SIMON FRASIER, KATIE FRASIER, MIKE KASNOF, MORDECAI SEARS

[ Mordecai alone on phone ]
>> Mordecai: Yeah, listen up, Frasier, I've got your wife down here with me at the warehouse. I thought you might like to know, she's sitting on enough c-4 plastique to blow her to kingdom come. So you've got, oh, just under ten minutes to grow a backbone and get down here or the missus goes up in smoke.
[ Mike enters and hold a knife to Mordecai's throat ]
>> Mike: Make one move and I will cut you open so wide they'll know exactly what you had for breakfast. Do it. Do it. I dare you.
>> Mordecai: Easy up with the knife, mate.
>> Mike: Shut up. Don't move. Looks like you won't be blowing anybody up today, mate.
[ Mike turns off bomb ]
>> Mordecai: Beg to differ with you there, my heroic buddy.
>> Mike: What are you talking about?
>> Mordecai: Little precaution I took, in case of emergency. Once that remote's switched off, the bomb switches to its own automatic timing device.
>> Mike: You're lying.
>> Mordecai: 'Fraid not. But if you'd like to hang around for another, oh, four minutes, you can fine out for yourself.
>> Mike: Where is Katie? Where is she? If you do not tell me where she is, I am gonna kill you.
[ Katie alone in main room ]
>> Katie: Simon? Simon! Is that you? Please, just stay away! Just don't come in here, please.
[ Beeping ] Oh, my god. Oh, my god. Simon, is that you?
[ Simon's voice is heard outside ]
>> Simon: Katie? Katie, where are you?
[ Mike joins Katie in the main room ]
>> Katie: Simon, please, just stay away. Don't look in here. Mike? Mike! The bomb! It's about to go off.
>> Mike: Don'worry. I know, I know. I'm gonna get you out before anything happens.
>> Katie: Simon's in here. He's in here.

>> Katie: I heard him. I heard his voice. We can't leave here. We have to find him!

>> Mike: Mordecai wouldn't tell me where you were.
>> Katie: Did you --?
>> Mike: No, no, no, I didn'T. Come on, come on. Let's go, let's go, let's go.
>> Katie: Simon! Simon, are you still here?
>> Mike: You get out of here, you get out of here. I will find Simon.
>> Katie: No, no, no. I can't let you do that. No wait, hold on. Can't we just -- can't you figure out how to take out the wires or something? Make it stop.
>> Mike: There's no way. I touch the wrong wire, we are both gonna die.
>> Simon: Katie? Answer me. Are you in here?
>> Katie: Simon! Simon, wait, there's a bomb! Please get out of here as fast as you can.
>> Mike: All right, I'm sure he heard you. Let's go.
>> Simon: If you can hear me, Katie, I'm coming for you. Please, don't move!
>> Mike: Simon, find another door! Katie's okay! Come on.

KATIE FRASIER, MIKE KASNOF

>> Katie: Did you find Simon?
>> Mike: Look, I checked everywhere. I got as close to the fire as I could. There's no sign of him.
>> Katie: Oh, god. He's gone. Mike, he's gone. And it's all my fault! Oh, god. He was right there. I heard his voice. We didn't even get to -- this does not feel real. This does not feel real.
[ Katie sobbing ]
>> Mike: I'm sorry. I'm sorry, Katie.
>> Katie: I just wanted to see him one more time. You knew that! Why didn't you let me do that, Mike?!
>> Mike: Well, the building was about to explode! I was just trying to save your life!
>> Katie: Just one more second would've been fine. I just wanted to hold him again and tell him I loved him. And if we died, we'd die together.
>> Mike: I -- I know you're upset. And I understand that. But -- but you're alive. I'm not gonna apologize for keeping you alive.
>> Katie: Oh, you want me to be grateful for you for saving my life? I'm sorry, Mike. I can't do that. You kept me from having one last moment with Simon, and for that, I hate you.

KATIE FRASIER, MIKE KASNOF

>> Mike: If it makes you feel better to say you hate me --
>> Katie: I do hate you, Mike. I will never forgive you for what you did.
>> Mike: But it wasn't me who killed Simon! I did everything I could to get you back to him.
>> Katie: You dragged me out of that warehouse against my will! When I tried to go back in there, you pinned me to the ground! Simon was crying for help, cries that I will hear in my nightmares for the rest of my life. And you know what? When I hear his voice, I will remember who kept me from him.
>> Mike: I did what I thought was right!
>> Katie: No, you didn't. For you, yeah, Mike. Not for me.
>> Mike: What are you saying?
>> Katie: You didn't pull me out of that warehouse to keep me alive. You kept me alive 'cause you wanted me for yourself.
