The Negotiator (1998) Edit

A gun went off. Any idea who shot first?

A lot of shit went down.

A piece of advice: Never keep a hostage taker waiting. It pisses him off.

A priest is associated with death, and you don't want me thinking about death.

A quick lesson in lying. See, this is what us real cops do.

About to, till you showed up.

According to him, we know the guys who took it. Cops.

After six hours, hostage negotiator Danny Roman risked his own life...

Again, congratulations.

Agent Moran, this is a mistake. You wanna change negotiators, fine.

Ah, good timing, Chris. You made it just in time.

Aim. Fire.

Aim. Fire.

All I asked for was more time, and they tried to take me out!

All right, call Danny and change that deadline.

All right, everybody in here march over to that desk over there.

All right, everybody, get back to work.

All right, fine, but if you wanna help him, help me.

All right, keep talking, asshole. You've already done everything wrong.

All right, l bluffed him, but he knows what l was doing.

All right, now, you wanna tell me what l'm doing up here?

All right, play dumb.

All right, what is this, Sabian? Who is this?

All right, you wanna get out of here? Follow me.

All right, you're right. I'm sorry. My mistake.

All right? Come on. Surrender.

All right? We're finished. Get him out of here.

All right. Fifty percent of what you don't have.

All right. First, get his badge down there. Second, shut off the heat.

All right. Vest.

All shafts are locked down, sir.

ALL: Drop it, Danny. DANNY: Guns down.

Allen, we're gonna make an opportunity. We'll take him out if we get the shot.

Am I gonna have to hurt somebody to get respect?

And every time you try to come in, this will happen!

And I'm fatigued, Danny.

And if they can't get me, they'll kill you.

And if you're Niebaum's assistant, you have everything to do with this.

And now that l think about it, I'm glad you're here.

And now you got hostages...

And she has got this kid, Albert. Ah, super kid, Dan.

And that I expect him to keep you out of trouble from now on.

And that...

And then you killed him because he was getting too close.

And we only got 1 5.

And with what you're doing....

And you're not.

And, look, Sabian is coming upstairs now.

Another warning:

Any evidence you have, let's just bring it out there.

Anyone else hurt up there?

Anyway, I figured you'd rather be shot by me than by him.

Are you blowing each other?

Are you charging my client? Because all of this is circumstantial.

Are you one of them, Scott? One of the men that set me up?

ARGENTO: Danny, I swear to you we don't know what you're talking about.

Ask her where she and Nate went on October 1 2th, the night before he died.

Attention...

Back off, Niebaum. We'll do it some other time, okay?

Be here tomorrow and have a decision made.

Be right back.

Because he thinks lnternal Affairs is involved.

Because once you familiarize yourself with the chains of bondage...

Because she thinks you're as guilty as l am.

Because you need to remember I am a stranger to you.

Because you think you can trust me?

Because you're not gonna make it out of here alive, motherfucker!

BECK [OVER RADlO]: Give me status.

BECK [OVER RADlO]: Palermo, take the subject out.

BECK [OVER RADlO]: Shot fired.

BECK [OVER RADlO]: Sniper team, can anyone see Roman?

BECK [OVER RADlO]: Take him out.

BECK [OVER RADlO]: Unit 1 , give me status.

BECK [OVER RADlO]: You lost him. Make entry.

Beck thinks you lost him. Frost gave him the go ahead.

Beck, please.

BECK: Another minute, that girl will be dead.

BECK: Eagle, make sure this location is secured.

BECK: He's not.

BECK: You have the right to remain silent.

Beck.

Beck. Beck, what happened? l've lost him! He's gone back in!

Before Nate was killed, he told me the men involved in the fraud...

Before Nate was killed, he told me the men involved in the fraud...

Before we start to bore everyone, let's get back to business.

BELL: Inspector!

Bingo.

Both of you need to pipe down.

BOTH: ln the Marines, they teach us not to piss on our hands.

Brandon's De Wilde's calling his name: Shane, come back! Shane!

But because it'll never happen again, right, I'll let it go.

But if l was ever depressed...

But l cannot have this go over the air, all right, so it's over, Danny.

But l'm still the ranking officer on the scene...

But let me give you some advice:

But not me, bro. Okay? I don't work for this pig.

But that is all speculation. All we know is that they are now on the scene...

But there is no they, right? So you don't shit have to worry about.

But what if you're wrong about me?

But you give Roman a 30 second window of opportunity...

But you told me no. You can't say no.

C...

CALE: From the academy.

CALE: I can't name names, not in front of everyone here.

CALE: Men you know, Danny.

Can l see a priest?

Can you come up with an explanation as to why you had that kind of money?

Can't a guy just hold his partner's hand?

Check the elevator shaft, check every vent, check the basement.

Chief, give me the order. Give the fucking order!

Chief, they have a shot. We can end it here.

Chief, you don't

Chief.

Chief. We got eyes.

Chris Sabian has been relieved of his command and I'm in charge.

Chris, l just wanna be ready to go if we need to.

Chris, put Nate's informant on.

Chris. Who did Nate see the night before he was killed? Did Linda tell you?

Christ. l couldn't do anything.

Click that.

Close the door.

Come on down the hall!

Come on inside.

Come on out, Danny. You have my support.

Come on, come on. Down.

Come on, Danny, there's nothing here. It's over.

Come on, it's all over, huh?

Come on, seriously.

Come on! Do it, do it, do it!

Come on! Go, go, go!

Come on! Hurry up. Lock it! Hurry up! Come on!

Come on.

Come on. Here we go.

Come on. Listen to you. Why don't you stop this shit and come out?

Come on. This is

Come on. You know your guys out there...

Computer's dead.

Congratulations, Maggie. You are free to go.

Course, the Corps was a winning team, wasn't it?

Crazy is on the bus.

Crazy's on the bus, remember?

Credit card fraud and electronic theft. That's you, right, Rudy?

Cut a deal.

Cut the electric. Cut it now.

Dan, this guy is really scared.

DANNY [ON RECORDING]: Well, they did do an audit...

DANNY [OVER PHONE]: Hey, schoolgirl.

Danny Roman is a married man now.

Danny, are you shot?

Danny, Chris is on his way up.

Danny, I don't want this broadcast.

Danny, I'm gonna be honest with you. I don't know what to think...

Danny, is anyone else hurt up there?

Danny, is anyone hurt up there?

Danny, it's Chris.

Danny, it's me. I'm on my way up.

Danny, listen to me. Don't do that. Don't take this to the next level.

Danny, look, okay, all right, all l wanna do is talk to you.

Danny, man, you got this all wrong.

Danny, off the record, that was one hell of a gutsy job, man.

Danny, talk

Danny, this is Cale.

Danny, this wasn't your fault. We all heard him confess. He was guilty.

Danny, we need to go.

Danny, you just fucked yourself completely. You killed a cop!

Danny, you know what l thought.

DANNY: Chris, hold on a second.

DANNY: Come on, Rudy. Move, move!

DANNY: Drop the guns! Drop them!

DANNY: Drop your weapon!

DANNY: Five years, Maggie.

DANNY: Football, huh?

DANNY: Fuck this! Back off.

DANNY: Go ahead, take my blood!

DANNY: He said he talked to his informant last night.

DANNY: He wasn't innocent.

DANNY: Here, Maggie, use this.

DANNY: l wanted to tell you face to face I'm not crazy.

DANNY: Like l told you, gotta check out everything.

DANNY: Look for anything that has to do with the disability fund.

DANNY: Look, you do your job, I do mine...

DANNY: Maggie, don't be scared.

DANNY: Maggie, you okay?

DANNY: Nice breeze.

DANNY: Nuh uh. Stay cool. We got a one count.

DANNY: Omar was a Marine, right? NATE: Yeah.

DANNY: Surrender, my ass.

DANNY: Talk.

DANNY: That's good, Farley. Good. You shouldn't let me see a priest.

DANNY: That's good, Farley. Now you're learning.

DANNY: That's not the play. Omar's tight.

DANNY: Think you can come in here and just shoot me, huh?

DANNY: Well, hoo fucking rah, Omar.

DANNY: What are you doing here? The call's out on the city wide.

DANNY: What?

DANNY: Where is it, Maggie?

DANNY: Wrong answer! Eliminate no from your vocabulary.

DANNY: Yeah, boy! Come on. Get down, get funky, get loose!

DANNY: Yeah. l did a tour in '73.

Danny!

Danny. Danny, do not hurt anyone. Do not do that, all right?

Danny. I think you should let Maggie go. She's not involved.

De Wilde.

Deal.

Despite how things worked out today, you put these guys in jeopardy.

Did you out find these cops were skimming from the fund and you blackmailed them?

Didn't you know what I was doing?

Disability fund.

Dispatch.

DlSPATCH [OVER RADlO]: Air Tac 1, civilian unit approaching. Peel away.

DlSPATCH [OVER RADlO]: Alerting all units.

DlSPATCH: Copy. Will relay.

Do not come in here again.

Do we have the manpower?

Do you know who killed Nate?

Do you like Westerns, Frost?

Do yourself a favor and keep quiet. We'll handle this.

Does he have a radio?

Doesn't matter to you, but he didn't do those things. You have to help him.

Don't be scared. They're coming to save you in a minute.

Don't call me in here to be part of your charades again.

Don't fucking patronize me, man.

Don't make me say their names.

Don't make things worse than they already are.

Don't put me in that fucking room!

Don't put me in that room!

Don't say one more fucking word to me.

Don't talk to me like l'm some second rate HT.

Don't tell me to be quiet and don't tell me you can fucking handle it...

Don't think you've bought anything by asking me to come here.

Don't you fucking count on it.

Don't you stand here. Don't you stand here in my face.

Double up, now! Now, now, now!

Down! Down!

Drop the gun! Drop it!

Elevators.

Especially dogs. Dogs are the best.

Even the strongest have their moments of fatigue.

Every night.

Every time you come through the door...

Everything's gonna be fine.

Exactly who was this informant, lieutenant?

Example:

F1 , enter.

Farley fucked up the list.

FARLEY: Danny, please, tell me.

FARLEY: I'll have to think about that. Um, I'll look into that.

FARLEY: Rudy, my name is Farley.

FARLEY: Uh, l'll see what I can do.

FARLEY: Uh.... Uh.... Don't let him go.

Fine with us. For now.

First, my list of demands.

First, they kill Nate.

For chrissakes. Why you always pick on me?

Found the hostages. No sign of Roman.

Four: I wanna know who killed my partner.

Frankly, I don't trust any of you fucking guys.

Freeze!

FROST: Danny, listen to me. It's not too late to stop this.

FROST: Danny, take me. Yeah. Yeah. Take him. Come on.

FROST: Danny, this is crazy. This isn't helping you.

FROST: Danny.

FROST: Right.

FROST: Stand down.

FROST: What have you done, Danny?

Frost.

Fuck it.

Fuck it. I'm going in.

Fuck Niebaum. Fuck all of you. You all killed him.

Fuck you!

Fuck!

Fucking Abraham Lincoln said that and l believe it.

Fucking Roman's up there, man.

G 9.

GAINES: Yes, sir. Run.

Gentlemen, play this by the numbers.

Get him locked down first. ln the meantime, Farley, get on the fucking phone.

Get his wife. We might need her.

Get in there. Get in there!

Get somebody up here! Niebaum's been

Get up! Get up!

Get word out to our team. We're switching to frequency three.

Get your hands up!

Go ahead, take the shot!

Go ahead.

Go and wait for me in the car. Don't worry.

Go on, tell your secrets.

Go! Go!

Go. Tell Nate I said hello.

God help you, Danny. You took him away from Jeremy.

Goddamn it. Have them clear the perimeter and start evac.

Good, now answer my question. What am doing I up here?

Good, now answer my question. What am doing I up here?

Good.

Good.

Good. You watch. Now do me a favor.

Great day to be out, you know? Not cold. Cool, kind of brisk.

Great. All right.

Green light. Take the subject out.

GREY: Chief Travis.

GREY: Danny Roman, this is Agent Grey of the FBl.

Guns are not new to me...

Guy came in about an hour ago. They've been talking ever since.

Guys in our own precinct. Guys we might call our friends...

Ha ha ha. You don't know what you're talking about.

Hated that dog.

Have available HBT units meet me at the corner of Addison and Iroquois.

Have my hostage ready.

Have these guys clear the stairwell. Have Unit 2 hold outside lnternal Affairs.

He already lied when he knew it would cost someone their life.

He can get a shot off if they breach.

He can't be talked down.

He could've kept Nathan's taps there.

He doesn't look back, because he's can't. Shane's dead.

He keeps all his personal files on the computer.

He knows our tactics and we got a lot of real estate to lock down.

He knows who took money from the disability fund.

He knows who's involved.

He might deal a hostage to get it back. What channel we on?

He said they heard you.

He thinks someone just tried to kill him!

He was afraid to come forward after Nathan was killed...

He was going to see his informant, wasn't he?

He went to Niebaum's house.

He will be. Get Eagle and Palermo to that window.

He would tell the insurance company his car had been wrecked, right?

He'll name names if you grant him immunity on the murder charge.

He'll only talk to, uh, Chris Sabian.

He's alive.

He's cut us off.

He's dead!

He's dead.

He's gone mobile.

He's gone. He's a murderer.

He's gonna be here real soon. We just need more time.

He's gonna fuck with every single fucking one of you...

He's gonna hear you out there, and he's got the gun, so he's in charge.

He's got Frost inside.

He's got three bullets, center mass. Look.

He's in. We gotta play it out now.

He's looking for people to believe in him.

He's manipulating this situation. Look what he did to Palermo.

He's obviously gone over the edge.

He's obviously over Hey, do you mind?

He's one of ours. We got this.

He's one of them. He tried to kill me.

He's slumped because he's shot. Slumped don't mean dead.

He's standing over a dead cop who was investigating the fund...

He's the one that can clear my name...

Hellman thinks we can get a team in the vent system right above Roman.

Hellman, Allen, Argento.

HELLMAN: Danny. Danny Roman.

HELLMAN: Fuck!

HELLMAN: Fuck!

HELLMAN: Whatever you're trying to pull, Roman, it's not gonna work.

Hellman's been studying the blueprints with Beck. They have a suggestion.

Hello?

Hello?

Hello?

Help me find this informant, and all this goes away.

Here it is! Take it!

Here's the one demand l didn't meet yet.

Hey, Danny.

Hey, Frost. Come on.

Hey, fuck you, huh? Fuck you!

Hey, he didn't tell me his name.

Hey, hey, hey. l just found my partner with his head blown off.

Hey, how you doing? Caught me. Heh, heh.

Hey, that's my voice

Hi, Cale. Very brave of you to come down like this.

His sheet, please.

Hold on, Cale.

Hold on, inspector. Just hold on.

Hold on.

Hold on. Hold on. Roman. What can I do for you?

Honey, get off the phone!

How could you dumb fucks let somebody get you on tape?

How long you been on the job?

How you holding up?

How'd you like to be called wide?

Huh? You okay?

I agree with the commander's assessment, and l do care if our team is injured...

I ain't missed a Bears home game since I left the Corps.

I also need an HPT supervisor to clear the building.

I also want food and blankets for the hostages.

I am in command here.

I am not leaving my husband.

I am talking! Now, did you or did you not...

I am thinking about Karen.

I believe you. Anything l can do to help you get out

I can use information any way I want to try to end this.

I can't believe this.

I can't believe this. I'm just surrounded by people who wanna go in and kill him.

I can't do any more for you.

I can't live without

I can't say...

I can't wait anymore, you hear me? I want my wife!

I can't. Psych evaluation? Who's on it?

I cannot take the shot.

I did like Shane though. That's a good one.

I didn't ask to be let go because I'm a woman. l hate that crap.

I didn't know if Niebaum was getting paid off to be quiet or not.

I do want you to come out. Come out...

I don't care how long it takes.

I don't even understand some of it myself.

I don't have any offshore accounts.

I don't know how Danny knows him.

I don't know how much Allen, Hellman and Argento have.

I don't know if you're innocent or not.

I don't know what the fuck was going on. A lot of shit happened out there.

I don't know what to think, Danny.

I don't know who's innocent. That's what I'm trying to find out.

I don't know.

I don't know. l couldn't tell. Up, down, right, left....

I don't think l helped the situation.

I don't wanna go in there, but it's our best option.

I don't wanna talk to anyone else but Chris Sabian.

I don't wanna talk to him on the phone. It's just not....

I don't want a situation where you and the ATF take over the situation...

I don't want anything moving on that fucking river!

I first found that Nathan was conducting the investigation...

I found some taps that prove Niebaum's been lying all along.

I fucking hate Raoull! Shut the fuck up, asshole!

I got 1 5 shots here. That's five apiece.

I got my reasons. I don't wanna go into them now.

I got no truck with leaving you with this responsibility.

I got the asthma. You know?

I gotta come in, look around...

I gotta look in those rooms down there. You know, make sure nobody's there.

I guess you think that Butch and Sundance live too...

I have a visual on the suspect.

I have no idea about Danny's guilt or innocence.

I have proof! I have them on taps...

I have them somewhere safe!

I have to get up there. He wants to talk to me.

I just You promised that you'd come out, so come on out, all right?

I just saw your troops moving in.

I just wanna tell you how close I came to busting your ass because of that shit.

I just want her to see me blow my brains out.

I knew someday you'd get somebody killed.

I know l made you stay, Frost, but you cannot monopolize the conversation.

I know nothing!

I know the rules of engagement, so don't test me.

I know this whole marriage thing is new to you...

I know we understand each other and that we'll work together...

I know what you're thinking:

I know you don't trust anyone.

I know you heard me say both of them.

I know you sympathize with Danny...

I know you're all partners, but everyone's looking for you.

I like comedies, myself.

I like Westerns. I can't get enough of them.

I love you.

I mean, who am l? Charlie Brown?

I need an air unit deployed to the 1 300 block of Addison.

I need the electricity...

I need to get you and these hostages out of here before they come in.

I need you to talk to Linda Roenick, Nate's wife.

I remember you. Hey, man!

I repeat, turn away from the building.

I still have hostages.

I talked a man out of blowing up the Sears Tower...

I think l got something in here.

I think those taps are at Niebaum's. If l get there, I can end this.

I think you're right. Shane died at the end.

I told him what I knew about Nathan's informant.

I told you all when I came in here I wasn't leaving till I got the truth.

I tried to tell everyone l was being set up, but no one wanted to listen.

I try to read all the books on a subject. You know, try to get all the facts...

I wanna know what's going on.

I wanna talk to you face to face now.

I want a guarantee before the press starts that l have an hour.

I want all the evidence destroyed.

I want her to think about that...

I want her up here.

I want that bitch, or l'll do the girl.

I want this street cleared, right now! Got an ambulance coming through here.

I want visuals and audio set up from 1 9 and 21 .

I want you to look me in the eye, Niebaum.

I was approached by someone recently.

I was brought here to save this man's life and bring him out, all right?

I was gonna let Nate go in...

I was negotiating a truce between my wife and daughter.

I wonder if they're out there.

I would've told you sooner, but this is my first chance.

I wouldn't have missed it for the world. What's it been, Danny? Two years?

I, uh, read a lot of books.

I, um, watch a lot of old movies. AMC.

I'd like a submachine gun, so l can blow everyone away.

I'll get a conviction with my eyes closed.

I'll get somebody up here to help you.

I'll give you one day to make a deal.

I'll let you girls be.

I'll need a hostage. Nothing less.

I'll see what I can do.

I'll see you soon, okay? I'll just be a minute.

I'll tell you this, Danny boy:

I'm about to walk out with a hostage. Do what l say.

I'm being set up.

I'm fucking fatigued.

I'm getting too close to the truth and they wanna kill me...

I'm getting too close, Chris. I know what went down now.

I'm gonna get somebody. Come on.

I'm gonna get us inside. We're gonna end this thing.

I'm here to get him out safely. So if you wanna help...

I'm not going anywhere, so please come out.

I'm not gonna play your stupid fucking game, okay, Roman?

I'm not part of any fraud.

I'm not scared. l've been mugged twice, once at gunpoint.

I'm not supposed to know about them, but I do.

I'm not the killer here, you are.

I'm not. l got a nice new lady friend that l would like to get back to.

I'm right here.

I'm so fucking sorry.

I'm so sorry. l'm sorry.

I'm somewhat familiar with situations like this, all right?

I'm sorry about this, Karen. We all know it's bullshit.

I'm sorry to tell you this, but Shane died.

I'm sorry.

I'm the same guy you invited to your house to celebrate your kid's baptism, Tonray.

I'm very angry with you!

I'm your father and l'm very upset with you right now.

I've been working on it for a couple of weeks now, you know?

I've got two disks with your voices on them. Nate's taps.

If l ask you a question about something visual, like your favorite color...

If l thought sending these guys, my team in would put more people in jeopardy...

If she tells you nothing, you get nothing.

If she tells you who he saw, I'll give you another hostage.

If somebody's stealing our money, we gotta find out who.

If we distract him long enough, we can send in an infiltration team.

If you give up the right to remain silent...

If you have a problem, lieutenant, maybe you wanna let us handle this.

If you think l could kill Nate, how the fuck do you know I don't wanna do this?

If you were taken hostage, you would've fucked up everything.

If your eyes go up and right...

Initiate full breach. Shoot on sight.

Inspector, fuck you very much. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Inspector?

Is anybody hurt?

Is that how it works?

Is that why you want me dead?

Is this your command or is it his?

It didn't work, Beck! I'm still alive, motherfucker!

It doesn't matter. Two cops are dead and you killed one.

It eliminates options. The only option that leaves...

It eliminates options. The only option that leaves...

It is bullshit.

It is imperative you respect the two mile boundary law.

It is the policy of the Chicago police to resolve all hostage situations...

It was an accident. What did you expect my men to do?

It was my call.

It was your name Nate mentioned when he said Internal Affairs was involved.

It's done. Come on out.

It's for you.

It's just that l wish you'd start differentiating between crazy and stupid.

It's just you and me, buddy.

It's like that, ain't it, Omar? That love hate thing.

It's like this auto body thing I pulled I mean, some guy I know....

It's not bad. It's just outdated by six months.

It's not just your eyes, Niebaum. It's everything.

It's not the job.

It's obvious somebody found out Nate was investigating the fund...

It's your choice...

Jesus.

Just a few moments ago...

Just be a minute, l promise. Just a minute.

Just didn't want me to know.

Just got word. Your wife's here.

Just let them do their work and get out.

Just tell her l was trying to keep my promise.

Just tell me who was involved. Now, who was it?

Just tell us where the rest of the money went, who your partners were and maybe....

KAREN [OVER RADIO]: It's me, Karen.

Karen will be taken care of, okay?

Karen, he's okay. He asked for Chris Sabian.

Karen, I'm sorry.

Karen, right now, understand I don't know who to trust.

Karen, wait.

Karen, you

KAREN: Danny. Danny.

KAREN: I don't like the thought of fixing up this house alone, Danny.

Karen.

Kick it!

Last time I saw you, you were a clean cut boy in blue.

Let me have those keys.

Let me tell you: I don't give a fuck what kind of evidence you got. Know why?

Let me through! Let me through!

Let me warn you:

Let my people go, man! Come on, man. Give it up.

Let's do it.

Let's end this, Danny!

Let's get him out of here.

Let's get on the road.

Let's just start with, uh, who was involved...

Like pit bulls.

Like, uh, Rio Bravo or Red River.

Linda wouldn't tell you where they went that night, would she?

Linda, l didn't do what they say I did. I

Listen, all of you...

Listen, Danny. This is gonna implicate too many people.

Listen, Danny...

Listen, listen.

LlNDA [ON RECORDlNG]: Are you gonna talk to me?

LlNDA: Okay. NATE: Okay?

LlSA: That's because no one's standing behind you with a big gun.

Ln the Navy, they teach us to wash our hands.

Locate the phone panel. Lock down the elevator.

Look for the one shot.

Look me in the eye and tell me you weren't involved.

Look, Danny beeped me earlier. What's going on?

Look, Farley, l told you, I don't wanna talk to anyone but Chris Sabian.

Look, I'll just be a minute. Sorry, honey. I won't be long.

Look, if he can clear my name, I wanna talk to him, now.

Look, l could sit here all night and get nothing.

Look, l just wanna do something without arguing, okay?

Look, l know somebody else was in charge. You couldn't have pulled this off yourself.

Look, look. Don't screw me now. You said you were gonna give me time.

Look, Nate, I can still talk to him. I just need time.

Look, um, I need to, um....

Lookit, why don't you tell it to the judge?

Looks like offshore accounts.

Looks like plainclothes Actually, those are federal sedans...

MAGGIE: Hey, Danny.

MAGGIE: Shit.

Maggie?

Maggie. Uncuff yourself. Get in the conference room.

Maintain your fields of fire.

MAN: Come on.

MAN: Order!

MAN: Order!

MAN: Ready. Aim. Fire.

MAN: Roman's losing him.

MAN: Yeah, l like animals better than people sometimes.

Man's got a right to face his accusers, doesn't he, inspector?

Markus, split this between you and Rudy. Wet it.

MARKUS: Down, down, down. On the ground, now.

MARKUS: Me too.

Maybe it's because Nathan found you stealing money from the fund.

Maybe someday we'll find out.

Maybe that's what some of you wanna have happen, but I don't!

Me and him should be let go because we had nothing to do with this.

Mm hm. Get all the facts. Yeah, that's smart.

Mm. Fucking cops. Always two steps behind.

MORAN: If he's in here, we'll find him.

MORAN: It's a federal building. It's our jurisdiction.

MOREWlTZ: Danny.

Most of it last night, but l, uh....

Move it!

Move real slow. This ain't about me or you...

Move the crowd. I want the area clear.

Move, Rudy.

Move!

Move!

Mr. Roman, wait, sir!

Mrs. Roenick. Please, let's go home.

My favorites have always been where the hero dies at the end.

My guys.

My life was being stripped away from me.

My name is Chris Sabian, and as of right now, all decisions go through me.

My name's Maggie, and l'm his assistant.

My, um, kid.

NATE [ON RECORDING]: We were at the academy. We worked at Area 6 together.

Nate told me his informant knows who's involved.

Nate told me you were involved. I wanna know how.

NATE: It's that case I'm working on. It's, uh....

NATE: Mm.

NATE: You all right, bud?

Nate?

Nate. Nate came to me with taps.

Nate's dead. Niebaum's dead.

Nate's much smarter than that, right, Nate?

Never say no to a hostage taker. It's in the manual.

Never use no in a hostage situation.

Next...

Nice and slow!

Nice bluff, Chris.

Nice fucking pants.

Nice talking to you, lieutenant.

Nice try, Sabian. Your little bluff didn't work.

Niebaum told me Hellman, Allen and Argento are involved.

Niebaum told me Nate was his informant. See, he worked for lAD.

Niebaum was no accident. He was assassinated.

NlEBAUM: Argento...

NlEBAUM: The money in them was well laundered...

No action is taken unless prior approved by me.

No eyes, no ears. Looks like we're running out of options.

No matter what l have to do.

No more goddamned talk!

No more negotiating.

No one else. Alone. We can't trust anyone else.

No one is gonna do anything without my authority. l'm in control here.

No one knows what this crazy fucker is gonna do.

No one takes that shot. You wanna shoot him on television?

No one's gonna die here.

No, it was a team effort. I just talked the guy out.

No, it's, um, Farley.

No, l got it right. Is that why you sound so nervous, Argento?

No, l'm not. l'm reading your eyes.

No, no, no

No, no.

No.

No. Don't, damn it. Don't pull this shit. You'll give him another hostage.

No. No, l didn't.

No. No, l'm not going home.

Nobody really knows what happened, okay?

Not anymore.

Not since both our teams showed up for that gig on the north side.

Nothing against you dressing up like a girl, but I didn't know that about you, Farley.

Nothing! Look!

Now get down here, now. Come on!

Now get me Sabian!

Now it's my name, huh?

Now move! Move!

Now we're getting somewhere.

Now we're getting somewhere.

Now you stand here You stand here and you just live with that.

Now you're gonna fucking pay for doing that!

Now, all l need...

Now, how did you know Nate?

Now, I know how that sounds.

Now, I know how that sounds.

Now, I want

Now, if neither the informant or killer is found in eight hours...

Now, if you know something, anything, you tell me now.

Now, it's your decision, or they're gonna fucking take it over.

Now, look. I know these are the bastards that killed Nate.

Now, Niebaum says he was not part of the murder.

Now, tell me...

Now, you know there's another way you can help me.

Nuh uh uh. Darling, that's the job.

Officer Bald.

Officers. You gonna take responsibility if he takes one of them out? Because I don't!

Okay. l promise...

OMAR [ON MONlTOR]: All right, move.

Omar, l gotta come look. Then l can bring in your wife, get the girl, all right?

Omar, l'm doing the best I can here, man.

OMAR: Don't meet many Marines these days. Everybody joins the Navy.

OMAR: I'm not gonna hurt her.

OMAR: Lock it.

OMAR: Semper fi, motherfucker. I did two tours. '68 and '69.

Omar. A Marine and a sailor are in the bathroom taking a piss.

Once he talked 55 hours. Never forces tactical action.

One last question:

One more gun goes off...

One of the son of a bitches you sent in is about to die!

One of us?

One: l want my badge brought down here.

Only as a precaution.

Or I'll do our daughter.

Our men will lose objectivity if he's in there.

Palermo, bring it in. You're relieved.

PALERMO: Blinds closed.

PALERMO: Visibility zero, sir.

Perfect day for it.

Perpetrator is an expert marksman.

PILOT: Air 1 , realize the location.

Pit bull can be the right man's best friend...

Please introduce me to our team.

Please.

Police officer! Officer down!

Pull the fucking trigger.

Put Chris on the phone.

Put it away.

Put it down! Now!

Put the gun down and leave.

Put the gun down now!

Put your gun down!

Put your guns, cuffs, keys, everything...

RECEPTlONlST: Danny Roman I'm going to see Niebaum.

RECEPTlONlST: Sir, could you wait just a minute? l have to buzz him, sir.

Relax. He'll call back.

REPORTER 1 : Lieutenant, do you think you'll be charged...

REPORTER 2: Are you allowed to make any comment?

REPORTER: Lieutenant Roman, looks like you saved the day again.

REPORTER: Well, did he say anything in there?

Right here.

Right now. Get off the phone. Get off the phone.

Roman asked for me and he's gonna get me.

Roman is going out with me.

Roman.

RUDY: Oh, man, there's a lot of wires.

RUDY: There's a lot of added security here.

RUDY: Why don't you just tell him something, Niebaum?

Rudy? Markus?

Sabian, we're not asking for a full breach.

Sabian.

Sabian's 20 minutes out.

SABlAN [OVER RADlO]: Who's firing? MAGGIE: Down! Down! Everyone down!

SABlAN: About what?

SABlAN: Do not fire!

SABlAN: Don't do it. Listen. You breach, everyone's gonna die.

SABlAN: Dying to go up. You call yourselves his friends.

SABlAN: Farley.

SABlAN: Here's the million dollar question. Why you?

SABlAN: Hmm.

SABlAN: How do l get up?

SABlAN: I assume you've got all these covered.

SABlAN: If a firecracker goes off, you respond the same way?

SABlAN: Tell him l'm on my way up. Please, tell him.

SABlAN: Who the hell just fired?

SABlAN: Yeah, that's right.

SABlAN: Yes.

SABlAN: You're...? Farley.

Say no again, l'll kill somebody, all right? Now, let's practice.

Scared shitless l'll get the truth out of you and try and stop them.

Scroll back to October 1 2th, the night before Nate was killed.

See a chance to end this, we take him out.

See that?

See? Nothing here, lieutenant, so now we make the trade.

Sergeant Cale Wangro.

Shane lives. At the end of it, he's riding off and that kid, uh, Brandon

She didn't bark, though. She pissed on the floor.

She's a woman, and it's only fair

Shit.

Shit.

Shut up, Frost! You know how this works!

Shut up, Mr. Blackwell. Get over here.

Sixty percent of everything you've taken.

So I'm gonna show them why they should!

So Nate tells me, uh, you played ball with him at Colorado State, that right?

So tell me a joke, Farley. You know any jokes?

So the FBl is here. They're ready to take his statement to ensure impartiality.

So why didn't he go to Internal Affairs?

So you have gotta get me the fuck out! Now!

So you need somebody with access to put the paperwork through, then cover it up.

So you tell me something, Danny. Why should l get in their way, huh?

So you wanna deal?

So you're some kind of history buff?

So your gun and your badge.

So, what do guys like you do when you're not talking guys like me down?

So, what now? Card tricks?

So, what's this, then? The, uh, exception that disproves the rule?

Some guy he was at academy with and knew from Area 6.

Some of these guys on this list submit false claims.

Somebody

Somebody give me status. Tell me what you see.

Somebody give me status. Tell me what you see.

Somebody's taking our money. We gotta find out who it is.

Son of a bitch don't know when to shut up!

Sorry about that.

Sorry, lieutenant. Can we check the trunk?

Sorry, um....

Stop kicking yourself in the ass. We all have our bad days. Beck.

Stop this shit and come out before someone gets killed.

Stop trying to figure out how to get in here. I'm well bunkered.

Stop, stop, stop. Back up one.

Subdirectories: Wires and taps.

Sure.

Suspect may have left the scene, possibly on foot. Alert all units.

Take a look at that screen.

Take Frost.

Take your guns off. Put them on this table now!

Talk to me.

Tap a lot of cops. There's only one killer in this room.

Team's position has been compromised. Unit 1 , status?

Tell him if Sabian's not here in 20 minutes, you die.

Tell him l only wanna talk to Chris Sabian.

Tell him! Tell him, Frost!

Tell them to wait for my signal and put that motherfucker on his back.

Terminate this breach.

Thank you.

Thanks, Cale.

Thanks, chief. Congratulations to you.

That may not mean much to you, but it means a hell of a lot to us.

That might prove to be easy by comparison.

That no matter what, no one goes in without my authority.

That wasn't an accident. And neither will the next one that goes in your head.

That's access to the steam pipes. It's unusable.

That's all I need to walk out.

That's it, I'm taking you in, man. You had your chance.

That's Nate's badge. Okay.

That's not the word she used. She used...

That's really too bad, Rudy...

That's right, sports fans...

That's the bus. The bus is going down the street.

That's what we agreed on.

That's what you did, and that's not how l work. First, we talk.

That's where you come in.

The bluff wasn't just for Danny.

The dog of dogs.

The eyes can't lie.

The good thing about dogs...

The good thing about dogs...

The guilty ones.

The informant didn't come to you guys...

The job l can deal with. It's how you do the job.

The man upstairs.

The Marine goes to leave without washing up.

The Marine turns to him and says:

The night before he died.

The night before Nate was killed he told me he had just talked to his informant.

The papers found in your house:

The rules of engagement state...

The same guy who saved Palermo's ass...

The statements were in your home. You were standing over the body.

Then he shoots Scott.

Then they took my badge.

There may be others...

There you go.

There's a lot of stuff on there. Probably could help you.

There's a time limit on these negotiations because we're about to be interrupted...

There's no reason to jeopardize hostages.

There's nothing here.

There's one across the street in a nice restaurant...

There's one down the hall.

There's only one dead cop up here, killed by the men who tried to set me up.

There's some bad cops among us...

There's some bad cops among us...

Therefore, you're telling the truth.

They can still be punished for your mistakes.

They couldn't do that themselves. Who's in charge?

They didn't tell you they were coming in, because they want me dead.

They killed Nate, Niebaum. Think they won't kill you?

They offered me money to lose the evidence. l did it.

They offered the same thing to Nate. They killed him.

They send you to kill me and you just do it? You just think you can get away with it?

They shot him.

They think you did, Niebaum.

They think you're a killer, Danny. They're gonna try to take you out.

They'll come, you know.

They'll get us out. Don't worry about Danny.

They're all I care about. You leaving here walking is a distant second.

They're going to try and end this quickly.

They're gone.

They're gonna kill you. Understand? You got no way out unless you surrender.

They're gonna take me out because you set me up!

They're just waiting to take this over. You want that to happen?

They're shooting us one by one and you fuckers aren't helping us.

They're trying to wear down Danny so he gets tired.

They've cleared the barricades.

Things are not what they seem, Chris.

Think about Karen.

Think you'll be charged with the murder of Officer Roenick?

Thirty five.

This could turn into a press nightmare.

This guy goes, he could take that girl with him. We gotta go in.

This guy said he knew what was going down with the pension fund.

This guy, uh....

This is a shaft off lnternal Affairs?

This is Chris Sabian here.

This is Commander Beck. I am now back in charge of this operation.

This is everything, huh?

This is gonna be very easy for you.

This is how you use that information?

This is my life here, Niebaum.

This is not personal.

This is not your command, Sabian.

This is our first date, Chris. The courting period.

This is the guy you called your friend. I got nothing invested in this!

This time.

This was a bluff?

This way, sir.

This'll all be over soon.

Three: I want the informant found.

Three. Chief, l wanna show you something.

TONRAY [WHISPERING]: This is good, huh?

Too bad we got stuck in here.

TRAVlS: All right, he's all talk.

TRAVlS: Excuse me. SABlAN: I gotta go.

TRAVlS: I got a real concern.

TRAVlS: Send in Unit 1 . BECK: Kill the lights, Unit 1 .

TRAVlS: Take the freight elevator to 1 8. Walk the rest of the way.

TRAVlS: What do you got?

TRAVlS: Why did he go there?

Try the phone again. See what he wants.

Turn away from the building.

Turn the electricity back on.

Two negotiators on the same site never work.

Two of the guns were recovered by you around seven months ago.

Two: lf l die, I want a departmental funeral.

Uh, let's not You know what? Can we just talk

Uh, Shane. Now, that's a good one...

Understand that they have a case that a jury will convict on.

Understand that? Everyone's gonna die.

Unit 1 , hold position.

Unit 1 , prepare entry. All units stand by for full breach.

Unlock yourself. Get the computer.

Visibility's zero, sir.

Wait, wait. You think you can talk me down, Farley?

Wanna go to jail?

Watch them all the time.

We came as soon as we heard they were issuing a warrant.

We can go in there strong, two, three seconds from bang to bullets.

We contained him.

We do have a chain of command.

We don't feel this man can be talked down.

We don't know what happened. What did we agree to?

We don't know who to trust, do we?

We got an officer down in here!

We got personnel from six different districts...

We got the whole city of Chicago watching this.

We gotta keep him locked down. My men can handle it.

We gotta remember that that's Danny Roman upstairs.

We gotta see in that room.

We have a gun linked to you...

We have a real concern he may kill one of our men.

We have not contained him. He's contained himself.

We have the target acquired.

We have this.

We heard you.

We know what he's doing now.

We need to go. Come on, this way.

We need to reopen negotiations.

We need to rotate your men

We study liars.

We used a lot of it to set Roman up.

We were at the academy, worked Area 6 together, so he trusts me.

We will arrest you and you will face the maximum penalty. I'll see to it.

We, of course, could not hear it down here

We'll give Danny another minute. Not yet. He's pulled out of worse.

We'll just see who wins the race.

We'll talk about that later.

We're blind and he's seeing 20 20.

We're going in. Full breach.

We're gonna do it my way or I walk.

We're here to find out who took our money...

We're okay. Just don't be saying no no more, motherfucker!

We're probably gonna have to go tactical. We've put a plan together.

We're probably gonna have to go tactical. We've put a plan together.

We're the FBl negotiators.

We've been made.

We've got an investigation too, and your name keeps coming up. Wonder why.

We've worked with the guy for 1 2 years and don't really know what he's done.

Well, all right! All right, I will!

Well, don't believe everything you read.

Well, he went to Arizona State, Cale.

Well, he'd never get paid if the claims agent wasn't in on it.

Well, I don't think you're gonna have that chance this time, Maggie.

Well, I got caught for credit card fraud and electronic theft...

Well, I, uh I'm a homebody, Danny. I spend a lot of time with my family.

Well, it's basically insurance fraud, right?

Well, it's simple.

Well, now you have no choice.

Well, tell Danny Roman to hold the fuck on.

Well, they did do an audit, but it didn't prove anything.

Well, we are. We are. We just, um....

Well, what's it matter, Maggie?

Well, who was it?

Westerns? Heh.

What about you, Frosty?

What are you doing here, okay? This is pretty serious.

What are you doing?

What are you doing? l didn't make a deal. What the fuck are you doing?

What are you trying to negotiate? You forget that l know you lie for a living.

What do we do if Sabian can't make it?

What do you think Sabian can do? He can't do anything to stop this.

What do you think?

What do you want me to ask her?

What else could I do?

What if I'm right about them?

What l love about you is that you do these crazy things.

What the fuck are you accusing us of? My men responded to a situation!

What the hell are you doing here, Sabian?

What the hell happened? I step out of this room and someone gets killed?

What we're suggesting is getting men in place for a crisis entry. Just one unit.

What you're doing is not helping.

What, you gonna give up now? Come on, that'd be a crime, man.

What?

What's going on here, Niebaum?

What's going on here, Sabian?

What's going on, Danny? We're hearing a lot of shit.

What's the fuck is that supposed to mean?

What's vibrating, baby?

What's your favorite television show?

When did you find out about all this?

When did you find out Nate was investigating the fund?

When l'm clear, come in there, get that girl.

When she's gone, use this.

Where are you taking me? No!

Which explains why your client had no powder on his hands.

Who he talked to.

Who killed Nate?

Who the fuck do you think you are?

Who the fuck you think you're dealing with ?

Who told you this?

Who?

Who's Chris Sabian?

Whoever killed Nate is frightened that Niebaum might know something.

Why are you doing this to me, huh?

Why are you investigating a fraud that you're part of?

Why can't you find this guy, huh?

Why don't you take a little break?

Why is that, Danny Roman? Because you think you know me?

Why the hell do you have all these cops and their accounts in here, Niebaum?

Why the hell is this taking so long?

Why these cops? These guys don't have access to the money.

With all due respect, sir...

With this type of entry, we can control him in case he starts shooting hostages.

WOMAN: You don't want me to come out. I wanna kill her.

WOMAN: You're not even listening to me.

Worked for Niebaum all along. He was describing himself.

Yeah, but he says you fired first and Niebaum was an accident.

Yeah, Danny, I'm ordering them off. I'm locking them out now.

Yeah, l can dig it, Omar. I had a dog like that. A poodle.

Yeah, l do.

Yeah, l generally read histories and biographies.

Yeah, l'm too smart. I'm too smart for my own good sometimes.

Yeah, that's right. My command is to get those people out safely.

Yeah, uh, he's on his way, okay?

Yeah, well, that's debatable.

Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, you are sorry. Get out of here. Lock the door.

Yeah, you gonna give me a dog, give me a pit bull. Give me...

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah. Don't tell Linda.

Yeah. He went to see you, but you weren't at the precinct.

Yeah. He's right here.

Yeah. Hello?

Yeah. We got some time before Sabian gets here.

Yes, l am listening to you.

Yes, sir.

Yes! Thank God!

Yes.

You alone?

You and only you.

You are jeopardizing the life of this hostage!

You can stare at me with those dead ass eyes of yours all you want.

You can use that one if you can hold it till we get out of here.

You can't beat the system.

You can't put me in bad situations, man.

You can't talk me down! You can't make me change the deadline!

You come down this hallway, I'll shoot you one by one.

You could have killed that cop. I don't know and l don't care.

You could've ended this, but I guess you don't want to.

You could've prevented this.

You deal with me.

You do take suggestions?

You don't feel like talking? We're gonna stay here until you do.

You don't have more time, Farley.

You don't know who he is, do you?

You don't think I'm innocent, so don't tell me:

You don't want anyone else hurt, do you?

You ever cheat on your wife?

You ever cheat on your wife? Answer!

You ever, um...

You gave me a way out when you shut the heat off.

You got a minute? Gotta talk. It's important.

You got a satellite? They show all those old, uh, Westerns.

You got four minutes to get Sabian here...

You got no eyes, you got no ears, you got nothing but assumptions!

You got six minutes, 42, 41 ....

You got to listen, because we're not leaving here...

You gotta be looking for him so you can shut him up too!

You gotta surrender now. I can't hold them back. They're coming up.

You guys with the cameras, you get that?

You had him distracted. We saw an opportunity to end this.

You have command for now.

You have no idea what l'm capable of.

You have no proof the money had to do with the fund...

You have to tell him what Niebaum said.

You hear me? One day.

You hear that, Danny?

You hurt one of them, you burn up whatever currency you got to deal with me.

You just cost someone their life, Farley! Game over!

You just raised the ante.

You killed an innocent man!

You killed your partner and you're about to be formally indicted for it.

You knew Nate was investigating the fund and you killed him.

You knew that too.

You know another way to get the gun off the girl's head?

You know how this city feels about corrupt cops.

You know I have a lot of questions.

You know me.

You know something? I would really like to help, but my lips are sealed.

You know the drill. There's gonna be a lot of gas and smoke.

You know what Nietzsche says:

You know, Niebaum worked at home just about as much as he worked here.

You know, you're his friend. You get him to let us go.

You know? What kind of security has this thing got?

You left me alive, me against you, and l won.

You look around, then l get my wife, or you fucking die!

You made it clear Make it clear again.

You must have some idea.

You must know something.

You never see Shane dead. That's an assumption.

You saw what they did.

You see, in the final shot, you see him slumped over his horse.

You see, l spent a lot of my take.

You should've been a negotiator.

You son of a bitch.

You still sweating that ugly display you gave us all a few minutes ago?

You tell this informant

You think I'm a killer too, huh?

You think killing a man gives you the power to negotiate?

You think you know what l'm gonna do, that l'm gonna give you time?

You took him away from me.

You trying to talk me down? That it?

You wanna prove your innocence, here's your chance.

You want my blood? Take my blood! Come on!

You want something...

You wanted to talk. We are talking. Now, can l see a priest?

You were wrong about me.

You.

You'll do a little time.

You'll get another innocent man killed! I know nothing!

You're a hoedown guy.

You're a rat for the rat squad. You don't remember me?

You're about to find out.

You're goddamn right! So why don't you take me seriously?

You're gonna end up giving me all my hostages.

You're lying. And I know you're lying.

You're much better at this than Farley.

You're Niebaum's secretary, right? What's your name?

You're not answering my question.

You're not the scene commander here. I am. You.

You're right. It is.

You're running out of time, Danny.

You've known me for 20 years.

Your body language says you're lying.

...and we know you're full of shit. Uh huh.

...if you wanna talk to him.... You can't handle it, I won't have a choice.

[OVER RADIO] Forty! FARLEY: Listen, Danny, is anybody hurt?

Ahem. After I spoke with you. That is a fucking lie if l've ever seen one!

All right. DANNY: Come on!

Almost 2 million is missing. Yeah, I know.

And? And he said he'd think about it.

Another hour. l want a guarantee. You gonna answer the phone?

Anybody gotta use the bathroom? MAGGIE: Yes, l do.

Are those taps on this computer? No.

Are you gonna help us or what? Who called for the breach? Beck?

Beck. MAN: Let's get the phones hooked up.

Call when you wanna talk. Danny, l'm ready to talk.

Can we have a word? Yes.

Chief? Christ, they're here already.

Chris Sabian. I'm Chris Sabian.

Copy. Don't tell me fucking copy!

Could you please get Danny on the line? Farley would like to talk to you.

Danny, please don't do anything crazy. Crazy? Heh.

Danny, this is really unproductive. Unproductive?

Danny, you don't wanna do this. How do you know?

Danny. What?

Dispatch, this is Commander Beck. DlSPATCH: Go ahead.

Do you know Danny? No.

Don't take me off. Listen to me. We're asking you to leave, lieutenant.

Drop it! DANNY: You're gonna get this man killed!

Drop your gun! OFFlCER: Drop your weapon!

Everybody lived, Beck. Even you. BECK: Mm.

Farley, get the phone. Yeah.

Finishing what you started. What are you talking about?

Fuck you! I never blinked my eyes! DANNY: You didn't have to blink.

Gentlemen? Without a doubt.

Get my wife in there. Get his wife.

Get off the phone. I know.

Get off the phone. No.

Get some help here. We got an injured cop here.

Go ahead. DANNY: Is this a private line?

Great kid. Dan, what do you think you can do?

Guys I might call friends. And?

Guys, go easy. He's one of ours. In here. In here.

Guys, go easy. He's one of ours. In here. In here.

Have you talked to Mrs. Roenick? PHOTOGRAPHER: One more.

HBT 1 , negotiator requests time. Negative. Team's in position.

He had motive and opportunity. Who the fuck are you, Niebaum?

He knows how you fucking work. TRAVlS: He's got a point, Sabian.

He'll eat Farley up. Commander, uh...

He's not gonna hurt anybody. Bullshit.

He's using our bluff against Niebaum. DANNY: He's willing to testify.

Hey! Give the guy a break! OFFlCER: Get back. Get back.

I did hear his name mentioned. So Niebaum was definitely involved.

I don't feel like doing this! You're gonna have to.

I have a search warrant TRAVlS: Just hold it.

I heard that name before. He's from the west side.

I love you. LINDA: Mm hm. I love you too.

I wanna talk to you. All right? All right, cool.

I want some answers. I don't have any answers.

I want status reports now. BECK: Give me an update.

I'll look into that. DANNY: Good. You're doing good, Farley.

I'm not a cop. You're Rudy Timmons.

I'm sorry. You want something from me? I want the electricity turned back on.

I'm very disappointed in all of you. TRAVlS: Maggie.

Intel? Yeah.

Is that the door? Mm. You get it.

It just, um I just want to talk to you. DANNY: Wait, wait.

It's between you cops. We have nothing to do with this.

It's in the lake. No fingerprints. TRAVlS: Hang on. He's

Join the party. God, Danny, this is crazy.

Just put the gun down now. You, sit your ass down.

Just shut the fuck up. Fuck you!

Know why he asked for me? We were hoping you could answer that.

Let's wait on that. OFFlCER: The wife's here.

Like what you did today. I'm fine.

Linda. Linda. ATTORNEY: We should keep going.

Look me in the eye! NlEBAUM: Look you in the eye for what?

Looks like the HT's speech worked. Stand back.

Maybe I need to speak to my client.

Me and him have nothing to do with this. RUDY: Right.

Negative, sir, I cannot take this shot. Have a heart!

No, Karen. Mrs. Roenick, we should go.

No. Don't you make me

No. Watch yourself. l'll kill someone.

Not right now. Oh!

Now l've seen everything. Ha ha ha. DANNY: Whoo!

Now, do l make myself clear? Good.

Oh, shit. Jesus Christ!

Okay? Here we go. Ready.

Omar, listen to me. OMAR: No more fucking talking.

Phone's ringing. I know.

Please, inspector. DANNY: Maggie.

Prick. MAGGIE: All right, that's enough.

Pull the fucking trigger! Copy.

Run a search. Well

Sabian FARLEY: No, it's Far

See what they're making me do? FROST: Danny, you just got married, man.

Since '74. Why? When's the last time you met with Nate?

Sit! Okay, man, you got it.

So find Sabian. TONRAY: 91 1 Chris Sabian.

So you shut off the heat already. You know how this works, Danny.

Someone locate the building engineer. OFFlCER: Right away.

Take it easy. Danny.

Tell me what you want, all right? Heh.

Thanks. Great party.

Thanks. How can you show your face here?

Thanks. Sure.

That all depends on your position. Did you know about this, Frost?

That's my command! You don't know this man, lieutenant!

That's the best I can do. Karen, come with me and talk, okay?

The third gun was not found until now. You gotta be fucking kidding me.

There's only one recording. Click on it!

They do. According to some people...

They found the informant. RUDY: Oh, thank God!

Thirty percent. Forty five.

Uh, yes. Yes, l do. DANNY: Yes! Good! See, yes is good.

We had to take it. You put me and those hostages at risk.

We have a shot? Bedroom, but he's nowhere near.

We need to talk. Go ahead, talk.

We'll finish this later. Yeah, all right.

Well, I got lucky. Traffic was light. DANNY: Glad you accepted my invitation.

What are these numbers? Cops' badge numbers.

What happened to you, man? That's what we're here to find out, Rudy.

What if you're lying? Then shoot me!

What the hell is Sabian doing up there? FARLEY: No idea.

What? It's

Who's on the fucking taps? All your friends!

Who's on the taps? Get me out of this fucking

Why didn't you talk him down? He would have expected it.

Would you relax? DANNY: I'm very fucking relaxed!

Wouldn't be, uh, appropriate. I don't wanna hear about appropriate.

Yeah? SABlAN: Danny Roman?

Yes. Sorry to interrupt. What took you so long?

Yes. Thank you. You have one shot.

You got no proof. He does. Niebaum confessed. We all heard.

You killed Niebaum and Nate? Danny, that's absurd!

You lied. Fuck you!

You okay? Do I look okay?

You remember Shane, Danny? What?

You serious? TRAVlS: Nothing we can do.

You working? Sort of.

You're going up there? SABlAN: Yes.

You're not doing this! Look, you. Go!

You're the chief? Yes. Travis.

Your clothes look fine. No.

...20 and 21 .

...a much worse word.

...a single shot was fired inside the city administration building.

...about Danny's relationship to the fund, his case and specifically, this informant.

...after l spoke with you after he was killed.

...and a pair of gloves that we took from the water.

...and an army that's just itching to walk in here and take you out.

...and even though I thought I hated that dog...

...and he wasn't sure whether you were involved.

...and he's the one who knows who's running this conspiracy.

...and I will be watching.

...and I'm gonna give the order to move in myself. You understand?

...and I'm gonna take you down myself. Understand?

...and now my hands are just as dirty as yours...

...and the wrong man's worst enemy.

...and then decide for myself what really happened.

...and today we're gonna find out who they are.

...and we'll have to wait and see....

...and who killed Nate, because it wasn't me.

...and your eyes go up and to the left...

...anything you say can be used against you

...are from my precinct. Guys l know.

...because Danny Roman was just starting to like you.

...because he thought someone from lnternal Affairs was involved.

...because I'm not going to jail today.

...because none of you ever been in a situation like this before.

...because this kind of action is a last resort.

...because you're accessing the visual cortex.

...but coming home every night is a big part of it.

...but he's still gonna try and control the environment.

...but l can't talk my wife out of a bedroom or my kid off a phone.

...but l don't have any choice...

...but l knew Linda would be pissed at me.

...but l only know the names of the key players.

...but l'd rather avoid them if I get the chance.

...but l'm gonna take you out just the same.

...but l'm sure that's probably out of the question.

...but the last deposit matched the last amount stolen from the fund.

...but the list goes on, you know. Heh.

...but they didn't prove anything.

...but they don't move an inch, no mater what Danny does...

...but this guy knows what he's talking about.

...but we need to stop him before he does something dangerous.

...but, uh, l'd have picked one where the hero lives at the end, you know?

...disarming the hostage taker to end the standoff.

...dress up like a schoolgirl and get you ass spanked?

...even though you never see them dead, and they're surrounded.

...ever dress up like a schoolgirl and get your ass spanked?

...FBI agents, in fact, arriving on the scene.

...from me?

...go with Tonray, answer his questions, and we'll drive you home.

...gonna leave you hanging for murder one while they plea down.

...he had access to the gun and he's on the fund's board.

...he'll exploit it.

...Hellman, Allen. Yeah.

...if we give him enough time, and he knows you'll do it.

...in this conspiracy, for 500, Cale.

...is they got different kinds of dogs for different kinds of people.

...is to shoot someone. Understand?

...is two minutes. Just two minutes and your radio, all right?

...it's me, Danny Roman.

...just like they killed Nate!

...l cannot take.

...l have kept a zero casualty rate for five years...

...l look fat in ski clothes.

...l will come home every night.

...l will kill one hostage an hour until they're all dead.

...l wouldn't consider it.

...l'm sorry l got you into this.

...loose in the street anymore.

...maybe we both walk out in one piece.

...neurophysiology tells us that your eyes go that in that direction...

...off this informant's tip and they took him out.

...on the 20th floor of the Chicago administration building.

...on this desk and get out of here. Let's go. Move! Move it!

...only l still have the evidence...

...or that Mr. Roman even opened those accounts.

...or we're coming in after you.

...played softball with, went drinking with.

...she'd lay her head in my lap...

...so I can turn on that computer and get a look at Niebaum's files.

...so I'd say I'm in a very good position to negotiate.

...so let me tell you this:

...so let's do this quickly. I want in.

...so we can discuss this.

...sometimes the only people you can trust are strangers.

...stealing our own money.

...talking about how they took money out of the fund.

...they treat you as if they haven't seen you in a year.

...they were gonna take away my wife by sending me to prison.

...this negotiation has been handled by the Chicago police department.

...to try to end this safely and quickly.

...to understand that I had no choice here.

...to your mother for saying she looks...

...until l find out who set me up.

...until this lnternal Affairs investigation is complete.

...when she's sucking that fat prick's cock.

...when that sniper had a bead on him at the stadium gig.

...who, as of now, has full command.

...wide.

...with the murder of Officer Roenick?

...with the utmost regard for the preservation of life!

...without any fucking evidence whatsoever. I don't want you going in.

...without my authorization.

...you bring tension and emotion to a scene that already has too much of both.

...you don't risk a breach if the hostage taker is willing to kill in retaliation.

...you prepare your own limbs to wear them.
