Full Script
Diya: What the heck am I doing here? Am I under arrest or something? They pulled me out of school and didn’t -
Detective Miller: Diya Patel, I’m Detective Miller. At 10:07 am this morning, we received a call from an anonymous caller with a distorted voice. They gave us details of an alleged bomb that was been planted in your locker and activated this morning.
Diya: Are you kidding me? But I used my locker this morning.
Detective Miller: Closing your locker door supposedly activated the timer.
Diya: You’ve got to evacuate the school. What are we doing here?! My brother is still in there!
Detective Miller: If we try to evacuate, they detonate. If we alert anyone else in that school, they detonate. Our instructions were to take you only. Not your brother.
Diya: What do they want from me?
Detective Miller: We have less than 1 hour to get your parents to wire $10 million into the account they gave us or everyone in that school dies. Diya looks at Detective Miller with fear in her eyes.
