We are reporting live here

in Lucas Valley outside
Senator Wyman's mansion...

where a tense,
ongoing hostage situation

has been unfolding for hours now...

on the scene with a breaking...

Wyman's mansion involving as well.

Right now I am standing outside
the mansion of Senator Wyman where...

Right now we have the--
the bomb squad showed up uh...

FBI and the ATF and uh, we...

Hey, get Medivac in here now.

I need another team of sharpshooters.

I am disappointed in you Detective.

You have had over two hours
to wire that money.

You just don't withdraw a hundred
million dollars out of an ATM machine.

It's not that easy.

Besides, my people want assurances
the senator's okay.

You think I care?

You have fifteen minutes
to make that transfer happen.

God.

All right people, standby.

Nobody fire until you hear my signal.

There's more than money at stake here.
The senator's counting on us.

Bomb squad en route.

Call for TJ see if he's close.
I got my hands full up here.

- Glass, what's your ETA?
- Twenty seconds.

We got a situation here.

Guy named Milos.

Balkan terrorist.

He's already killed three hostages,
and now he's rigged a bomb...

...in the basement.
- Milos?

He's very dangerous.
Watch your back.

Okay we're dropping down.

I need sharpshooters covering us.

It's up to you, Glass.

It's all up to you.

Okay man, get ready to drop.

Five seconds.

Glass, talk to me.

- What's going on?
- Entering basement. Nothing yet.

Over here.

- Hey Lieutenant, over here.
- I think we found something.

Okay.
Looks like we got ourselves a detonator.

Glass.

We're running out of time.

I got a countdown, one minute...

...forty-two seconds.

Listen up people.
No one fire.

Wait for my signal.

Shooters...

What the hell's going on?

Hold your fire, damn it.

Hold your fire.

You, get your face down.

Talk to me Glass.

All hell's breaking loose up here.

Your time is up.

Something's wrong.
It's too easy.

- That was the decoy.
- Okay, get out of there.

Clear the area, that was the decoy.

You are a dead man.

Come on, everybody...

Let's go.

Reach out, reach out and touch someone.

- Small gift sir?
- Would you get lost.

There he is, check it out.

Right there.

That's right.

Look around.

We see you.

You sure about this guy?

Let's do it.

I don't like this guy.

You going to take care of me?

You take care of me,
I will take care of you.

You give me a litle extra,

- I can make some deliveries for you.
- Yeah.

Show your hands.
Stand up motherfucka.

Hands on your head.
All right big shot.

Turn around.

Hands on your head.

Hands on your head.

Lilly,
what the fuck are you doing in here?

Nice time with your girlfriend?

I was trying to make some money
for my baby for you all assholes...

...came up in here.
- Yeah? Well I...

...thought you were supposed
to be in a fucking shelter.

Too many junkies in there.

What,
you going to give me a place to live?

Ray, what we going to do
with my girl here, man?

We're going to bust her and take
her kid to Social Services.

- Or.
- Or What?

Or we take her down to Redemption House.

She will be back on the
junk in no time.

No, I promise.

The Rehab was going good.

I just needed a little extra
help for my baby.

Look, I want to do right.

Just give me a chance.

Please.

All right, I see you on the street
again hustling, for whatever reason,

I am going to bust you.

Now come here.

I never seen you before.

And I never want to see you again.

- Go, get out of here.
- Thank you.

You're lucky you got a daughter.

Sorry Fuzzy.

All right big shot,
you're going to jail.

It's like I keep telling you man,

If you want your detective shield back,

you got to start acting
like a team player again.

What, working garbage detail
for two years? No thanks.

So that's it, you're just going to
let your demons win?

- What demons?
- What demons he says.

Only the ones that's been eating you up.

Look, all I know is
I can't do this shit anymore.

That's all.

Okay?

You're going to explode, man.

Let's get a drink.
Let's go explode and get a drink.

TJ, remember that incident
at the senator's mansion last year?

Not good.

What you got on that computer screen,
Captain?

Bad news.

That's an I-R-D.

Instant Retirement Device.

Computerized shifting sensors,
counter-logic traps.

Nastiest class of ticker
I have ever seen.

They first showed up in Africa.

Now they're using them in East Timor.

Same stuff that blew up
the senator's mansion.

Whenever there's a real high-class
bomb for hire.

Trust me.

Oh, come on...

Fuzzy, give me a break.

Come on, Ray.

Listen man, listen.

I am your partner. Not only that,
I am also your friend.

I am probably the only friend
you got left.

Now I can't sit back and watch you
throw your fucking life...

...down the toilet, man.

You got to start talking, man.
You know, let it out,

get it out of your system
before it eats you alive.

Thanks.

- Straight ahead.
- Let's go, Vershbow.

Come on.

Turn left when you get in there, love.

Guess I could do with a drink,
I can tell you that.

It's a little late for a delivery?

Maybe they need somebody to sign for it.

Let's sign for it.

Police.

What the fuck are you doing?

Police.

- Police, goddamn it.
- Let me go.

Calm down.

Watch out, Ray.

Look out.

Let's get out of here.

Drop it.

Let her go.

Drop it.

You will hit her.

Tell him to drop the gun, now
or I will shoot the girl.

The end of your life has just begun.

Let's go.

Don't worry my dear.

We will be back for you.

Okay Fuzzy,

they are gone.

Fuzzy?

Hey man, it's going to be all right.

Okay?

Damn,

you feel that draft?

- What?
- It's cold.

Well just don't talk.

Just don't talk.

Ray?

Yeah?

Ray,

those demons inside you...

let them go, Ray...

before it's too late.

Oh, no man, come on.

Oh, no.

Don't die on me.

Goddamn it.

Don't die on me, man, Fuzzy.

Prints?

We're working on it.

What about Ballistics?

The lab's backed up so
we're going to have to wait a while.

Hey Nettles,
Captain's looking for you.

Thanks.

Nettles.

I am sorry, Fuzzy was a good cop.

He was a good man, too.

- I want in on this, Captain.
- Wait a minute buddy boy.

You're Narcotics.
This is a homicide case.

I saw the bastards, I know...
what they look like.

You got to let me in on it.
You know that.

I understand, you know the rules.

Until Internal Affairs clears this up.

She won't talk.
This is all she had on her.

We don't even have a name.

I got a name.

In memory of Brandon.

Something to start with.

- What is this?
- That's the bracelet she was wearing.

Looks like detonation wire or something.

Run that down to the bomb squad, Artie.

Let me do it.

Oh, come on, let me do it.

Artie.

Captain,

let me do it.

Okay Ray.

You go home.

You get cleaned up,
you get some rest.

Thanks.

What an asshole.

And then my tongue stud gets caught...

on-- on-- on his um, his earrings.

So, there we were,
making out at the concert, right,

things were really getting hot.

Okay, right. So, we are--
we are making out, right?

What took you so long?

Excuse me?

Medium everything, hold the anchovies.

You're the pizza guy, right?

I am looking for the bomb squad.

I am sorry-- sorry.

I-- I just... I assumed that...

Bomb squad where?

Out on a call.

Third and hyde.

Thank you.

Sorry, Mom.

Here it comes, all right?

Feel it?

Tick tock.

Tick tock.

I felt it.

That, Dugger, is the very
essence of our existence.

Synchronicity.

Synchronicity.

Swan, they are holding her downtown.

And what if she talks?

She won't talk.

You trust me on that.

Well that's real reassuring,
Swan, but just in case,

I think I will cut out now...

...and disappear.

And what would Michelangelo say?

You think he'd let one
of his trusted pigment mixers

just abandon him in the middle
of painting the Sistine Chapel?

What the hell are you talking about?

We're about to create
a work of art here, a masterpiece,

a masterpiece that's going to be
discussed and talked about a

And admired for centuries.

And until that last,
magnificent brush stroke is finished,

nothing, absolutely nothing,

is going to get in the way

of the artistic process.
Is that clear?

Crystal.

Are we clear on that?

And our business plans will not change.

And we will continue our preparations

with or without

our lovely muse.

Well we can't just leave her behind.

There's no way the
cop's will let her out.

Unless we force them.

How the hell are we going to do that?

Through pure and simple motivation.

Is that right?

And I am motivated.

We got a ticker in the shoebox.

- I better call Meg.
- Ball and chain.

Look, ten bucks says that
he's asking himself right now...

- Excuse me.
- What the hell?

- Who's in charge?
- He is.

Maybe you can tell me what that is.

It's cute.

Swap, Meet jewelry.

Where did you get this, brother?

Off a girl's wrist.

She still alive?

Yeah.

Why?

Because this is real dangerous shit,

and that means she's probably
a dangerous young lady.

See that outer strand?
That's some kind of high-grade det cord.

- And the inner strand.
- Well, yeah the inner strand...

...is Semtex.

Excuse me?

Semtex is a...

kind of a rich man's C4.

Same stuff they used to blow
up that jet in Lockerbie,

same stuff they used in...
the embassy in Nairobi,

Dar Es Salaam.

I think you get the picture, you all.

Yeah.

That right there is usually harmless
and easy to manage by itself.

But you combine that with a detonator...

Yeah, so anyway uh...

if this is her idea of fancy jewelry,

you can bet she's into
some nasty shit, brother.

Thanks.

All right let's go fishing.

Okay now Pooch,

ease off the top just real slowly.

Easing and pleasing, boss.

Getting that warm, tingly feeling.

Slowly.

Slow.

TJ, get on in there
and just tell me what you see.

- Jump in there TJ.
- Shit.

Shit.

Oh, come on wimpy, grab it.

Keep talking to me.

Come on Teej. One size fits all.

Looks like we got ourselves
a hot little number here.

What the hell is that?

All right.

Yeah, I told you
there wasn't nothing there.

A hula girl?

It kind of looks like Barbie
with a little ass on it, don't it?

This is whacked.

We came here to do a money job,
not to risk our lives saving the girl.

Gentle, my good man.

She's been an accident waiting to happen,

ever since you hooked up with her.
- And if it was you in there Vershbow,

I wonder if you'd be having the same feelings.

Oh yeah, like you'd put it
on the line for me.

To keep you in good health and quiet,
I'd do the same for you.

You mix, I paint.

You have been a good student, Dugger.

Maybe next time I will
let you sign the canvas.

Here, Captain.

Did we get a hit on the girl's prints?

Not yet, and you know what?
That's none of your concern.

Captain, line 1. He says it's important,
says it's something about the girl.

Winters here.

- Go get Glass on a conference call.
- Yes sir.

What?

I said if you don't release her...

you will have a lot of dead people

with missing body parts on your conscience.

It's four o'clock now.

And if she doesn't walk by five...

let's just say uh...

you will have a very bloody happy hour.

We need more time.

Your time's up.

Phone company said it was scrambled.

- What the hell did he mean by that?
- A bomb.

A bomb?

Her bracelet is made out of detonation cord.

They are pros.

They are a bunch of chumps,
playing a bluff card.

Bomb squad found traces
of Semtex on the bracelet.

Semtex?

Nasty stuff.

Ring down to the bomb squad.
I want them on alert.

- Right.
- I will do it.

We are a team here, Nettles.
You stay on the bench.

- Why?
- Just do it.

Jack-ass.

Man I love the Internet.

You should see the recipes
for death and disaster...

...on this thing.
- Hey Joey, it's Daddy.

Fourteen different ways to blow up,
kill, maim.

With whichever kind of bomb you would like.

- Thank you America.
- Did you help Mommy like I told you to?

For the Freedom of Information Act.

Buy me dinner or I will bring you up
on harassment charges.

Baldie.

Hey that's the guy
I was telling you about.

Yeah we just got a bomb threat upstairs.

My partner was killed last night,
the dirtbag who did it is the bomber.

Now what do we do?

Well we are not going to do anything.

You are going to get together
with your detectives...

and do some detective work
and see if you can find the bombers,

or the bomb, so we can do our job.

And let's just hope it is a crank
because maybe nothing we can do.

- What's that supposed to mean?
- It means...

- We deactivate explosive devices.
- You're the bomb squad.

Right, isn't your job to stop these things?

We need detectives up there...

...so that we can do our job.

You're right.

Let's just sit on our hands
and wait for innocent people to die.

What the hell was I thinking?

What you should be thinking is,
get up there and do some...

...detective work.

Bye.

Well, hello beautiful.

May I buy you a drink?

Sure.

What would you like?

Shot of Tequila.

A shot of Tequila?

Barkeep,

a shot of Tequila for the lady.

- And I will have a Coca-cola.
- Yes sir.

I am working.

I am working you.

Nettles, I have got that info for you.

A bar called Happy Hour in the
Warehouse District at Beach Street.

Yeah, I know that dive, thanks.

What's your position?

I am in Chinatown.

I should be there in two minutes.

So,

told you a little about myself.
- You did?

Yeah.

It's your turn.

What would you like to know?

Well I'd like to know how to get
to know you a little better.

To get to know me.

I will tell you this.

The whole world's going to know
who I am, baby.

It's music to my heart.

You da bomb, baby.

What?

Ding-dong, the bitch is dead,
the bitch is dead.

Ciao.

Police. Get down, get down.

Pooch, give me something.

Not much to go on.

Whoever this guy was knew
what he was doing, that's for sure.

Let me sample this.

Watch your back.

Watch your step, sir.

Please,

my husband and daughter
are in that building.

- Ma'am, no, no.
- Please.

I am sorry, we can't let
you through here.

They're my whole life.

Please ma'am.

Please.

Please.

You know, every time you show your
face, there's some fucking disaster.

Why is that?

At least I was trying to do something.

Oh yeah?

You know, I keep telling you,
you don't belong here.

Why you still here?

You touch me again, Pluchinsky, and uh...

Wh-- and what?

You going to shoot me?

No, I am not your fucking
partner, all right?

I will make retirement.

Falta subtitulo.

What-- what, motherfucker.

Let go of me.

You son of a bitch,
don't you touch me fucking again.

- Fuck you.
- Get out of here.

Get out of here before I kick your ass.

Oh Artie, Artie, listen to me,
listen to me.

I have been talking to Nettles
a little bit, you know.

I kind of feel like he's got
some intel that's...

...real vital to our group.

You don't mind if I sneak him
on in with us, do you?

He's all yours.

Thank you man, I appreciate that.

Right guys, we appreciate it, don't we?

Oh, I love it.

Why the save?

I am trying to save you from yourself, man.

What's that supposed to mean?

You got to get beyond hope and fear.

Learn the nature of your own mind.

And then,

you won't be suffering anymore.

You coming?

Traces of Semtex just like the braid
on that det cord bracelet.

Check out the sequencing.

I have never seen anything
so beautifully choreographed.

Yeah the detonator's made
out of Semtex, that's for sure.

So what kind of bomb was it?

Did you say the B word?

Excuse me?

Nettles you got to be more Zen.

- Device.
- Don't use the B word.

Device.

B is for boom.

So you're the Device Squad and you defuse...

devices.

We treat devices.

Anything else I should know?

Yeah.

Watch where you step.

Check it out boss, we got action.

Stay close to us.

What you think?

Computer chip.

That could be from an IRD.

Very, very nasty piece of shit.

Let's hope that's not what this is.

Hey remember, I am watching your ass.

You know Pluchinsky, pretty words
and a smile just aren't going to...

...get me to kiss you.

Captain, we got a hit on the prints.

I was wondering why it took so long.

Turns out she had high-security clearance.

- Department of Defense contractor.
- Claire Manning, twenty-nine,

San Francisco.
Married to a Brandon Manning,

an architect, died last May.
- In memory of Brandon.

She was an Rand D Skunkworks
nuclear specialist.

Trained at Lawrence, Livermore and Langley.

- Resigned abruptly last year.
- Sir, it's him.

Yeah.

How will you tell them, Captain?

How will you explain to the families

that their loved ones didn't have to die?

You got a name?

No, this time,

I will give you two hours.

But if she isn't released by then...

another bomb will go off,
and then another and another until...

every man...

woman and child in this city...

is either dead...

or in mourning.
- Talk to me, please.

Tick tock.

Tick...

tock.

Find him.

Hey Angie um,

I want to check on
Brandon Manning's work history.

I want a list of every project
he's ever been involved with,

and uh, call the Feds,
see if they will give us

any details on the girl
without a court order, ok?

Officer Gordon, hi.

She's tough, huh?

Tough?

Tough is, where's my lawyer.

Well the Captain wants me
to take a crack at her.

Fine.

- You baby-sit her for awhile.
- Okay.

You remember me?

Yeah, I remember you.

Sorry about the eye.
You didn't give me much choice.

First my partner, then all the others.

What makes you so valuable that uh,

they'd slaughter all these innocent
people just to get you back?

Look, I know you don't want to talk.

Somebody once told me that
that's the only way you can uh,

you know, get better, feel better.

You see uh...

you see not too long ago um,

not long ago I...

I lost two people
I loved very much...

too.

Your husband uh,

was a gifted architect...

Brandon Manning.

Famous, was about to expose
a massive cover-up,

they were going to build
a elementary school on a toxic

waste site downtown.

But before he could blow the
whistle he dies in a car accident.

It was not an accident.

That's what the grand jury said it was.

He was murdered in cold blood
because of his integrity.

And nobody gave a damn.

So that's why you're with these terrorists?

That's why you're with these terrorists?

First my partner, then the bar.

Now, who is he?

Tell me his name.

Why is he killing all these
innocent people for you?

Why's he want you back
so bad he killed all these people?

Now tell me his name.

Who is he?

Tell me.

Goddamn it, tell me his name.
What's his name.

What is his goddamn name.

Hey listen the police aren't going to
let you go and I-- you-- you know that.

When your boyfriend realizes this,
a whole bunch of innocent people

are going to die, kids and families,
for no good reason.

Now there's blood on your hands.

Okay?

Now...

help me put an end to this.

You're the only one who can.

We met at a convention in Europe.

I was lonely, as you might imagine.

He was...

brilliant,

charming,

a fellow scientist, so he claimed.

By the time I learned the truth,

I was too scared.

I was too scared.

Too scared for what?

Too scared for what?

Oh come on.

Tell me.

I can't.

- Bullshit.
- You don't understand. I can't.

If you want it stopped,
you have to let me go.

Let you go?

You got to get me out of here.

You got to get me out of here, okay?

Take your hands off me.

Don't touch me, don't touch me.

Take your hands off me.

Drop dead.

Hey Nettles.

How did it go with the girl?

Not good.

Hey Nettles...

what do you think
it would take to kind of

give me all this from the beginning?

So what made you think they were here?

Hey, you're the expert.

Looks like a really good
place to hide explosives.

Discreet,

quiet, out of the way.

We might even find an IRD here.

You mentioned you saw one of them once.

- Where?
- Across the pond.

I was uh, heading a team, E-O-D.

Some shit went sideways.

Lost some of my boys.

But uh, I made a choice to live.

So I light candles
for my boys that didn't.

So you live it too.

If you call it living.

You know I never cried when...

I don't know.

Maybe it's the guilt.

After the funeral I never went back...

you know,

to where they're buried.

Yeah.

I am afraid if I do,

I will blow my brains out.

It's just-- it's just way too much.

Well you know one thing
about hitting the bottom.

After that,

there's only one way you can go.

And that's up.

Yeah.

That's enough talking for now.

Time's up on our first session.

It's right over here.

Yeah, um...

girl was here with me.

Guy in charge over there
with one of his men.

Another guy was over there.

So...

these bombers, what's the typical profile?

If you were a dog trainer
you'd call them fear biters.

They want to bite before they get bit.

People who uh,

feel like...

they will blow something up

to kill somebody or make a statement,
but always from a long way away.

Long distance.

Never want to get up close and personal.
Not that kind of people.

Except if you don't play along,
these guys will blow you up.

Most of them.

You know uh, it's a power trip.

But uh,

some of them don't follow through.

- And the other one percent?
- Those are the dangerous ones.

Criminal minds that are geniuses,
smarter than most law enforcement,

most anti-terrorists, most military,

they have got access to the most sophisticated,

deadly devices in the world.

Those are the ones we got to worry about.

That's why we're here.

Hmm, what do we got here?

Galois.

Eurotrash.

Jazz Cat. Do you like the blues?

Scotch on the rocks, please.

Couple drinks?

No thanks. Hey...

you know anybody who smokes
these French cigarettes?

Galois cigarettes, Inspector.

There's a guy in the club
who smokes these Frenchies.

Is he here tonight?

Yeah. He's right over there.

Thanks, are you new here?

Let's go talk to him.

What did you say?

Police.

Show me your hands.

Show me your hands.
Show me your hands.

- Show me your hands.
- I didn't do nothing.

Show me your hands.

- Put the gun down, brother.
- Show me.

Don't move, don't move.

Let the girl go.

Come on, let's go.

I will shoot you.

- Let her go.
- No, I won't.

- Let the girl go.
- Let me go, please.

Do you think I am crazy?

- Let the girl go.
- Fuck you.

I will shoot you.

- Go right ahead.
- Shoot.

- San Francisco is going to blow.
- Let her go.

Go ahead.

You know I could have used him alive.

Got to learn to listen to me.

But that was good shooting.
That was a good shot.

So uh, should I get ready to die?

No, you know what?
This is not very sophisticated at all.

See?

I am glad you were here.

That's your new lucky number.

You have heard of the twelve stages
of enlightenment, haven't you?

No, just one day at a time, twelve steps.

Oh yeah.

Well we haven't made
it through this day yet, have we?

We're doing good, so far.

The bomb didn't go off but Duggers died.

Oh, you disappoint me.

It's time to bring in the boys.

Are they ready?

Yes sir, ready and waiting for your signal.

It's never stopped before.

Well, let me see it.

Okay.

Yeah, main spring's stuck.

All right...

let me show you a little something.

I am going to teach you the way I learned.

I am going to hand this back to you

and give you the only tool you need
to fix this. It's real simple.

Well, I am an idiot when it comes
to mechanical things.

You're not an idiot, man.

Just never tried it before.

Take a look in there, you will see right
away how to do this. It's very simple.

Thing of it is, if I baby you,
tell you how to do it...

in one ear and out the other.

If I make you figure it out
you're going to own it.

Go for it.

It's working again.

Good job, man.

You just made your first ticker.

We need to talk, Nettles.

Shit.

I got a call from upstairs.

They say you questioned the girl yesterday.
Is that true?

Yeah, that's true.

Claiming that I'd given you permission
in direct contradiction to my orders.

Yes sir.

Under any other circumstances
I'd have your ass canned.

That said...

she wants to talk to you again.

Alone.

His name is Alex Swan.

The one with the tattoos
and piercings goes by Dugger,

and the other one calls himself Vershbow.

Dugger's dead.
So is the bomb he was carrying.

Now, Swan's planning a big hit now,
isn't he?

I don't know.

Oh come on, tell me the target.
Tell me the true target.

This bombing was a distraction,
wasn't it?

Wasn't it?

Look, you said you wanted
to talk to me, now talk.

Claire?

Alex Swan is planning
a really big hit, isn't he?

I don't know.

Come on.

Tell me the target.

Tell me how to find him.

Claire, come on, please.

Tell me how to find him
before it's too late.

All right, the last I knew, they were...

...staying at a motel downtown,

somewhere around the corner
from the warehouse.

What was the name of it?

The Sunburst uh, room one thirty-eight.

Sunburst, room one thirty-eight.

Yeah.

Thanks.

He will kill me for this.

Even if you catch him,
he will send someone else.

It doesn't matter anymore anyway.

I have lost too much already.

You know what?

There's always hope.

You just took a small step back
towards life,

and ain't nobody going to kill you.

Cover all the entrances, TJ.

Stay alert.

Always, baby.

Move.

City, he can't even save his own family.

What did you say?

You didn't hear me?

- Come here, say it again.
- Oh sure.

I said, how can you save the city if
you can't save your own fucking family.

That's what I thought you said.

Just coming up to an open door.

After you, my good man.

TJ, get on in there
and just tell me what you see.

They're gone.

All right.

Clear the building, bring the dog.

We will check the other rooms.

Copy that.

Sparky's on his way.

You're the one, Thursday...

three-sixteen in the AM.

Thirty-seven cents.

You were the short change.

A little light.

Where's your partner, officer?

He's dead.

Now the guys who killed him, we
think they live in this neighborhood.

You wouldn't know anything
about any bad people around here...

would you?
- One has a beard.

The other is tall...

thin. Thin one wanted to offer me...

a donation, wanted to trade
for something I haven't used

for a long time.

What kind of car did they drive?

- Did they drive a car?
Originaly,

plate M-L-A-I-5-8 Ford van.

But they switched late
Thursday night to a blue Taurus

with G-O-E-N-43 plates.

G-O-E-N-43?

That's what I said.

A steel trap.

Okay.

That's my life savings.

G-O-E...

N-43.

Steel trap.

Sir Lancelot is a good knight.

He could save the, no-no,
he could save the kingdom.

Afternoon gentlemen.

Sure this is crazy,
you're going to get us busted.

It has to be done.

They have tested my patience
and my resolve long enough.

Now if you're afraid, then go.

I will be in the car.

Fine.

Excuse me officer.
Lawrence Bombeck, esquire.

I represent Claire Manning.

She wants her property released to me,

her credit cards actually,
to secure my retainer.

Wait here.

I will have to make a phone call.

Angie, I have a man here claiming
to be Claire Manning's lawyer.

Everything's fine.

Captain...

there's a man downstairs,
says he's Claire's lawyer.

Put him on.

Hello.

Sir?

Sure enough, the uh, plates belong
to a car rented Thursday night...

downtown.

Guy's name's Alex Swan.

AKA, twenty other names.

Guy's a legend
in the bomb-for-hire business.

He's the cat who blew
the senator's mansion.

The other one, Vershbow,
he's a freelance demolition expert.

Just so happens he's worked for half the
governments in the Western hemisphere.

Including ours
during the Reagan Administration.

Let's get out an APB you all.

Right away.

This wasn't the deal.

You want her property that bad,
you want to be close to your girl,

well you couldn't get any closer than this.

I am not going to end up like Dugger.

Now get the hell out of here.

Game over.

I offered you a chance
to be part of history,

and fame and fortune, you fool.

Give me the briefcase.

You're forgetting something.

Detonator.

You're making a great mistake, Vershbow.

Now beat it,

Michael-fucking-angelo.

Nettles, suspect spotted in area.

Repeat, suspect may be in police
parking lot, over.

I need backup.

- Let's go. We got a perp.
- Stay down.

Drop the weapon
and get out of the car.

Put the bag down.

Move your fucking car, chief.

Move that fucking car...

or I will blow it out of the way.

Wait on command.

Come on buddy,

Time to go to work.
Let's go check out the tire.

Get your sniffer up there.
Come on, come on.

What you got.

Nothing?

Come on, you're not going to
get your raise like this.

Let's go around back.

- Come on, come on.
- Engine clear.

Sniff.

Sniff.

What you smelling?

Nuggets.

- You smelling nuggets.
- All right babe, once...

I sweep this truck
it's cocktail time, baby.

Pooch hurry that mutt up.
You're buying.

Come on. What'd you smell?
What'd you smell?

You're smelling TJ huh?

Head and tail are clear.

Reach out,

reach out and touch someone.

Oh no.

Pooch.

Thank you and call again.

You got a minute?

I just wanted to...

I just want to say thank you.

It's no big deal.

That's uh...

that's Pooch's wife and kid.

I will talk to them.

It's him.

Got to get back to you.

Quiet.

Winters here.

You people just don't learn, do you?

We're ready to talk.

Oh, you mean stall,
don't you, so your little.....

....team of techno-geeks
can try and trace me?

This is my final warning.

The city has one hour to release
the girl exactly where you found her.

Fifteen seconds.

One hour, you understand?

The girl in exchange for...

let's just say,

there're not enough cemeteries...

in the city or enough hospital
beds for the maimed.

Well wait a second.
You know we can't just let her go.

How do we know we can trust you?

You can trust me.

One hour.

What?

No.

I want you...

to drop it off at the museum.

Captain, it's a radio station downtown.

They just received a bomb threat.

Sir, we're getting bomb threats
from all over the city.

Sir, your wife received one too.
What do you want to do?

Send a squad car.

Okay.

Also notify the bomb squad, hospitals,

fire department.

Right away, sir.

Hey boss.

She says that uh,
she will only talk to Nettles.

Okay, do it.

All right.

We're meeting with your boyfriend.

You have to convince them to let me go.

It's your only chance to stop him.
Look, use me as the bait.

There's not a lot of time.

Hey, I have been looking for you.

Here's a list of buildings
Brandon Manning designed.

This guy's done some pretty major stuff?

He even designed
the new wing at City Hall.

I can't see.

Thank you.

Shit.

Vincent.

Vincent, do you hear me?

Swan, we're setting up
the fuel-air explosives.

Set it up and tell me when you're ready.

All right, hurry up, come on, move out.

Captain Winters.

You got to get the okay
to let the girl go.

Let her go?

I mean, we got to use her.
She's our only chance.

I am not bullshitting you, Captain.
I wouldn't bullshit you about this.

If you let that girl go,
I will catch this creep.

Is the tracking device on the girl?

The ankle transmitter is in place.

The tracking transmitter is working.

The tracking transmitter is working.
We're good to go with the drop-off.

Okay, I got her.

I got her, she's right here.

There you go.

You're lucky we still have that.

Some guy says he was your lawyer,

tried to take your property.

All right, go on, get out of here.

Go on, get out of here.

I am going northbound on Sixth.
I am going northbound on Sixth.

Moving northbound. Repeat, northbound.

Position One she's not headed your way.

She's headed northbound on Sixth.

She's headed northbound on
the Sixth Street alleyway.

She's heading towards the flea market.
She's heading towards the flea market.

Captain she's moving fast.

Stop right there.

Swan, the device is armed and
standing by for your word to activate.

Activate.

Activate.

Activate stage one.

She's in a black BMW.

L-Q-Y-A-1-niner,
westbound on Vermont.

Don't I even get a thank you?

Bye boys.

We have lost her.

The transmitter has been found abandoned.

Repeat, we have lost her.

What were you thinking,
trying to take the watch?

What, you going to ditch me?

Now you yourself said...

that the painting is far more
important than the artist.

And what about our masterpiece?

Nothing can be allowed...

to interfere with the
creative process that we share.

You're right.

A masterpiece that will be discussed, admired,

and studied for centuries to come.

Our Michelangelo.

Is everything in place?

Of course.

Pull over.

It's time to trigger the decoy.

Our masterpiece.

Yes.

Our masterpiece.

I did this all for you, you know?

I love you.

I know.

Reverse the charges, my love.

Please reach out and touch someone.

Oh dear.

Swan's car just went.

- What about Claire?
- Looks like it took them both out.

Hang on, there's something a
little strange about this....

...placed throughout the city...
- Glass.

Glass.

Only the male suspect is there.

Claire's gone.

...opening of the new wing,
designed by the late Brandon Manning...

will go off without a hitch.

This is Jamie Rosen for Channel Six News

reporting live from the Masquerade
Ball at City Hall. Back to you, Don.

Jamie, we have heard that the traffic
down there is absolutely terrible...

Hey are you there?

Come in man are you there?
Nettles, are you there?

- I know where she is.
- How do you know where she is?

She's going to blow City Hall.
Meet me there.

Go around the City Hall,
make sure backup's in place.

All right, call for TJ.
I got my hands full.

See if he's close.

Nettles, where are you?

Tell me what you see. Keep talking to me.

I am moving as fast as I can, man.

Hurry up, meet me in the lobby.

Okay men, get ready.

- Got the radio on?
- Yeah.

This is the San Francisco police.
Put your weapons down.

Divert them so I can get to the elevator.

Hey brother, what took you so long?

Claire's husband was about to blow
the whistle on the downtown...

...redevelopment zone.
It's a toxic waste dump.

Would have cost a fortune to clean up.
But before he could,

he got capped.

So now Claire wants revenge.

It's been her all along.

She's going to blow this place up, Glass.

All right listen, you take the basement,
I will take the roof.

Okay.

Move away from the building.

Stay calm.

Step back away from the building.

Stay back.

Grenade. Go.

Go. Go.

Claire, put your hands in the air.

Now.

Don't make me do this.

Don't make me do this.

Don't make me do this.

I am afraid it's time.

Put your hands in the air, Claire.

Come on.
Put your hands in the air, now.

My husband never got his due.

That's all going to change now.

Son of a bitch.

Glass.

Glass, I am in the basement.
Claire's out cold.

There's a bomb, it's set to go off
in ten minutes.

What do I do?

Do you read me, Glass? Glass.

Okay Nettles.

Shit.

All right,

Glass, I got a ticker down here
and I don't know what to do.

We just got our first
North American FAE bomb.

That's a Fuel Air Explosive.
It will take up to a square mile.

T minus ten minutes.

Now you better get down here
and help me, help me with this bomb.

Nettles,

I got a FAE bomb up here.

In case you're wondering what that is.
Black ops use these over in Africa, man.

It's a wide cloud of highly unstable
gas suspended over the city.

When it's ignited the shock...

waves will shoot down
and kill everybody breathing.

Now something tells me that you
got the detonator down there with you.

Glass, I am going to die down here.

Just relax, brother.

Talk to me.

Glass, talk to me.

Glass, just tell me what to do.

- I will do it. Just tell me what to do.
- Stay calm. You can do this.

Glass, I don't know what to do.
Tell me what to do.

- Talk to me.
- Now listen to me man,

you're just going to have to go
beyond hope and fear.

Don't be attached to living
or dying, or anything else.

And understand that death
is just another stage

on the playground.

You have to be able to feel it.

And the way...

you will be able to learn how to feel,

is by coming to know
the nature of your mind.

And even if you do go today
you will be back.

So if you're not attached
to living or dying,

you have nothing to fear. If you have
nothing to fear you're going to calm down

and just listen to me gently
guide you through this.

All right?

Okay, I have finished assessing,
I have taken a deep breath.

- Now what do we do?
- Can you get inside that ticker?

- What do you mean?
- Look around the back...

for something that looks like it's sealed,

it may even be sealed with some
kind of epoxy.

You want to scrape that off...

and open it up.

Look around, there's a hole man.
There's a hole, look for the hole.

I see something.

I got an opening.

There you go.

Okay reach in and tell me
what you feel. Gently.

Heat, a lot of heat.

Cold metal,

something soft.
- Don't touch that.

Okay.

What else?

Keep going man, you're doing a good job.

Something round...

and two wires.

Two sets of wires, yellow...

and black with red.

No, stop.

What's wrong?

It's too easy. There's got to be
another way. That's a set-up, man.

There's got to be another way.

Make up your mind.

Ease your thumb over to the right.
Feel anything?

Yeah, another round thing.

The device that you have there is
the decoy. It's very, very primitive.

You will find two sets of wires.

Go to the timer

and try to pop that switch straight out...

and pull the other wires
out of the timer.

Well which one's which?

All right, it's up to you. Pick one.

What?

It's up to you Nettles, just pick one.

I did it. I am not dead.

You did it brother. Now uh...

I got a whole shit storm up here
that I got to deal with, so sit tight.

We're clear on the roof.
Repeat, clear on the roof.

- Send in the sweep team.
- Don't fire. Wait.

Glass said it's all clear.

Go on man,
talk to them, they will listen.

When everyone dies, live the day.

There is tunnel.
And that's a long tunnel.
