John: Since when has force been a problem for you? Why are you so desperate to get your son back? Eric Matthews: 'Cause he's my son... John: What's the last thing you said to him before you left him? Eric Matthews: [flashback] [shouts] Eric Matthews: Well, then, go! John: Seems to me that the knowledge of your sons impending death is causing you to act... Why is that we're only willing to do that, when a life is at stake? Eric Matthews: I've always loved my son, it has never changed. John: No... no... It's changed now. You see, the knowledge of death... changes everything. If I were to tell you the exact date and time of your death... it would shatter everything.

The rules are simple. All you have to do is sit here and talk to me. What? If you can do that long enough, you will find your son in a safe and secure state. What the fuck is that? It's your son, Daniel. You remember him, don't you? My dad's a... He's a real hardass. I call you unworthy of the life that you've been given. The knowledge of your son's impending death has caused you to forgive all his sins. Why is that we're only willing to do that when a life is at stake? Daniel! I'm done listening to you. Don't forget the rules. Shut the fuck up! He's playing a game. I don't wanna talk to him. You're not saying shit. We both know the sort of person you are. I'd like to go now until your son is pissing... I'll take you to the house. Daniel? There's something I haven't told you, Eric. It is I who will carry on John's work after he dies. Daniel! So go ahead. Destroy it. And you... Daniel! ...are my first test subject. Now you are locked away, helpless and alone. - You fucking bitch. - Game over. I'll fucking kill you! You fucking bitch! You fucking bitch! I'll fucking kill you! No!
