Template:Blog3 The Human Ransom is the one hundred thirtieth video in the lonelygirl15 video series.

Transcript

(The video starts with scenes of a highway, scenery, and driving in a car. A sign says "La Brea Ave, Hollywood" Cut to more driving.)

(Camera zooms in on the top floors of a tall glass building)

(INT- Outside of elevator)

Jonas: (offscreen) Sure you're ready for this?

Bree: Daniel saved my life. It's the least I can do. Take care of him, okay?

(Elevator opens and reveals Daniel blindfolded with hands tied, accompanied by Lucy and three other men in sunglasses.)

(Cut to Daniel (still blindfolded) and Bree hugging.)

Jonas: Bree, I… think they’re getting impatient.

(Lucy moves to cover the camera with her hand)

(Bree is still hugging Daniel)

(Cut to Bree in the elevator looking out with Lucy and the three men looking down. Door closes. Goes to black.)

Bree: Wait!! Stop!!

(Reversed footage of what we just saw plays back. Tachyon music kicks in as an Malaysia airplane lands at LAX and "Tachyon" flashes ascoss the screen.)

(More footage of driving, presumably from Brother's point of view.)

(Shot has a black/blue and white tint to them)

(Bree in elevator looking up.)

(Normal color) Oil fields and more driving

(Shots now have a black/blue and white tint to them and are replaying what we just saw through Tachyons perspective through cameras stationed in the hall, similar to her previous video and Brother’s video)

(lower right corner- ATR – CAM 1) Bree with Jonas as he is filming.

(lower right ELEVATOR NO. 2) Inside the elevator with Lucy and men

(upper right ATR – CAM 2) Doors opening with Daniel

(lower right ATR – CAM 3) Same as last shot but at different angle and with Lucy in the frame.

(upper left ATR – CAM 4) Front view of Daniel

(lower ATR – CAM 5) View from the side of Bree hugging Daniel and whispering something Cuts to facing bree to where we can clearly see she is saying something to him.

Cuts to a far away shot of them hugging and Lucy crosses in front of them to block the camera Jonas is holding.

(lower left ATR – CAM 1) Bree looking out of elevator towards Jonas and Daniel

Cuts to shot of a close up of the camera Jonas is holding and we can see Bree through the display screen.

Cuts to door closing as Bree makes a sudden move forward. (thought to match up to when she says ‘Wait!! Stop!!’)

(lower right ATR – CAM 1) Door closes. Jonas and Daniel are visible but Daniel now has his hands untied and the blindfold off.

(lower right ATR – GROUND 1) Lower half of elevator door is seen closing as and object (a flash bomb) is thrown in from the right. The word ‘flash’ appears in the upper left corner then fades

(lower left ATR – GROUND 2) the word ‘bang’ does the same in the lower right corner.

Then quickly goes to black with the caption at the bottom in small white writing say, ‘for a girl who scored 112 the last time she went bowling, that’s an impressive shot!'

(upper right ELEVATOR NO. 2) Inside the elevator and then there is a white flash from the bomb. Cuts to black

Bree: Daniel? Daniel?!?! RUN!!!!!!

(Goes back to normal color) (Stair well)

Bree pulling Daniel by the hand running up the stairs with Jonas behind with the camera

Jonas: Bree!?!

Bree: Go up the stairs

Jonas: Are you sure we can trust this guy? He’s not like…really her brother is he?

The group reaches the top flight where a ladder leads to the roof.

Bree: If she says we can trust him, we can trust him. I'll explain it to you later.

Bree starts climbing the ladder

Jonas: Go! Go! Go! Go!

He pans down the stairs where Lucy can be seen chasing after them.

Bree: Jonas, put down the camera...?(can’t be heard from all the noise)

(a helicopter can now be heard)

Bree continues climb as Jonas pans back.

Notes

• Co-creators Mesh Flinders and Miles Beckett have cameo appearances as Watchers. The third watcher may be Greg Goodfried wearing a fake beard.
• This is the first Crossover involving Tachyon directly in the series, although Daniel mentioned her in the video Homeless as the one who alerted him to the Order's tracking device in his car.
• The Malaysian plane seen is thought to be the one with Tachyon on it from Fiji.
• Helicopters have been seen in other videos but always thought to be connected with the Order not Tachyon.
• the reference to bowling a 112 comes from one of Tachyon’s drop videos, Knock 'Em Down, which took place at Sea Bowl in Pacifica, CA.
• The "flash bomb" mentioned in the article is infact a Flashbang Grenade. More information available at Wikipedia
