The whole world now knows my son, Sean Mullen, was kidnapped for ransom three days ago. This is a recent photograph of him. Sean, if you're watching, we love you. And this [2 million dollars in cash], well this is what waits for the man that took him. This is your ransom. Two million dollars in unmarked bills, just like you wanted. 現在全世界都知道我兒子肖恩.馬倫三天前因為勒索被綁架的事了。這是他的近照。肖恩，我們愛你，如果你也在看得話。這里是200萬現金，就是綁架我兒子想要勒索的那筆錢。這是綁匪索要的贖金,沒有標記的200萬美元,正如你所要求的。

But this is as close as you'll ever get to it. You'll never see one dollar of this money, because no ransom will ever be paid for my son. Not one dime. Not one penny. 但你永遠都得不到這筆錢,你永遠都見不到這其中的一塊錢,因為我不會為我的兒子支付贖金,一分錢都不會。

Instead, I'm offering this money as a reward on your head. Dead or alive, it doesn't matter. So, congratulations. You've just become a two million dollar lottery ticket, except the odds are much, much better. Do you know anyone that wouldn't turn you in for two million dollars? I don't

think you do. I doubt it. So, wherever you go and whatever you do, this money will be tracking you down for all time. 恰恰相反,我要將這筆錢作為你項上人頭的獎金,而且是死是活都無所謂。所以祝賀你,你剛剛成為一張200萬美元彩票，,而且中獎只是幾率明顯高得多。你知道誰不想用你換200萬美元嗎?我認為你不知道,我對此表示懷疑。不管你走到哪做什么,這筆錢將永遠追蹤你。

And to insure that it does, to keep interest alive, I'm running a full-page add in every major newspaper, every Sunday for as long as it takes. But -- and this is your last chance -- you return my son, alive, uninjured, I'll withdraw the bounty. With any luck, you can simply disappear. Understand? You will never see this money. Not one dollar. 為了確保這筆賞金的吸引力,我會在每周日的所有主要報紙上刊登整版廣告。這是你最后的機會,將我的兒子毫發無損的送回來,我會收回賞金,你可以幸運的銷聲匿跡。明白嗎?你永遠都見不到這筆錢,一分錢都見不到。

So, you still have a chance to do the right thing. If you don't, well, then, God be with you, because nobody else on this earth will be. 所以你還有機會去改邪歸正。如果你一意孤行,那么上帝與你同在,因為沒人與你為伍。
