Everybody!

Under the table! Get down!

I want a 727.

If you fail to deliver, I will let you down.

Why, what are you... Please, please!

We will have one chart.

Believe me, that is not it.

If one of us dies, we all die.

Let me in!

Ladies and gentlemen, let us remember someone who is not here today.

Friend, husband, father, who is

sadly missed and, alas, cannot be with us today.

However, I am greatly honored in having been asked to give his daughter away.

Now, I've known Deborah since she was a very small girl.

And I've loved her all those years.

I can only say that if I had been blessed with a daughter, I would want

be exactly like Deborah.

And Benjamin, this handsome young devil, may you have lasting happiness, both

of you.

Okay.

Gary beer

One

Benjamin Wade.

No, please, listen.

Let my wife take my place.

We were just married.

Please, let her go.

Very, uh, very heroic, young man.

If I were you, I would seize the opportunity.

Shut up.

Go on, you go.

Go on!

Please.

Anything to oblige.

No! Benjamin, you go!

You picked and let him go!

Deborah, baby, I just... Oh, get out.

Bastard!

No, you listen to me.

I want a television and a police band radio sent in immediately.

I want an armored car.

I want a helicopter at the East River Heliport.

I want a 727, fueled and ready for takeoff at La Guardia.

When they are ready, I will give you further instructions.

If you fail to deliver, I will execute the hostage.

Dubois, Malta, Geneva, Athens. Good, good. Anybody else? I think this is

Samin. It's hard to tell.

Good. Hey, get him a fuller file, would you?

Beautiful, beautiful.

You have another set of these?

This could be the gale.

God bless you.

You got anything?

The van was rented on a stolen credit card. False address.

What about immigration?

I'll give him a try.

Reports from the hostages who were released, together with the wedding

list, have enabled us to compile an unofficial and as yet unconfirmed list

the hostages still being held by terrorists in the grand ballroom of New

Fenwick Hotel.

Absolute con...

The man at whom the attack was apparently aimed, Gustave Haran, is a

philanthropist. Clearly, the intention was to... Philanthropist? This man is a

traitor. He has betrayed his country.

He uses his filthy money to corrupt our people and our leaders.

You are a traitor.

He must be returned to my country for trial and public execution.

Say it.

You are a traitor.

Say it!

Tell these people why they are here.

They shouldn't be here. You've got me. Let them go.

You are a traitor.

Say it!

I am not a traitor, and I love my country.

I have devoted my life to achieving peace without the use of violence.

Does this sound like a traitor to you?

You, by using violence, you are the real traitor.

Silent! I should kill you now.

Alive or dead, my work goes on.

Traitor! Say it!

You can't stop it.

This is an outrage.

I'm a member of the council of the city and I...

Hold it up here, buddy.

Hey, son.

What are you talking about? Who sent out?

Get out of here.

Okay.

I want you to tell those sweethearts in the command post or whatever that I

delivered it. Only you didn't think they really ought to have it.

Who's stupid of them?

You can't challenge them like that. You've got to lie low, bide your time,

them into a false sense of security.

Pick your moment.

Really?

At least that's what it said in my course on international terrorism.

You like me telling you this?

Yes, it's very interesting.

For a man who's in insurance.

Right.

Insurance.

When the time comes, you tell me what you want me to do.

I can tell you now what I want you to do. Nothing.

You will do absolutely nothing when the time comes.

Understood? You promise me?

Then you'll have to deal with them without me.

Yes, yes.

I think it's time for them to be nice to us.

They alternate. That's what they always do.

May I have your attention?

I have no quarrels with you.

Only with this man.

So let us make the best of this difficult situation.

in a spirit of cooperation.

I told you no.

Obey orders and you will not be harmed.

There are chairs.

There is food.

If you need to use the restroom, one of my men will accompany you.

You can get up.

Oh,

thank goodness.

Pizza man he delivers get it while it's hot

How the hell did you get in here? You guys are going to stall until they start

shooting the hostages.

Then you're going to give them what they want, and when they come out the front

door, you're going to snipe them to death.

That's how it's done, so?

It isn't going to work.

McCall's in there.

Now, how do you know that?

Because I was supposed to meet him here.

He didn't come out with the released hostages.

That means he's in there.

And McCall isn't going to wait.

He's going to start something.

So I figured it might as well be two of us.

Lieutenant Ferraro says you're like a loose grenade with no pin, you know what

mean?

I see.

You know what? He's right.

Charlie?

Can I fix you a pledge? No, that's quite all

right. Do you people eat meat?

Well, sometimes, yes. I hate it when they're nice to you.

All you can think about is when they'll get vicious again.

Which they will.

Which is why they do it, of course.

To control you.

I guess there are two sides to every question,

right?

Yes, I guess so.

No. Why the hell not?

It goes all killed.

You have a better idea?

We will have one chance.

Believe me, that is not it.

Is this what you want?

No.

No.

I wonder, we

would like some more roast beef.

Because you're the only one with a knife. Would you mind cutting some?

Not at all.

Get back to your chairs!

Get out! Get back down, all of you!

Move it down! All of you, back down!

Sit down!

Get them down!

I'd like to use the ladies' room.

Pretty white dress.

White for virgin bride, yes?

Give me a break.

In my country, a woman not a virgin, anybody can use her.

Your country gives new meaning to the expression virgin wall.

Anything to say?

What is it?

Well, have to wait until it's finished.

That man is dying.

Are you a doctor?

No.

Anyone can freeze dying.

Good.

I need a doctor.

All right.

All right, let's have him.

Now, it's on the outside.

Please remember that. It's on the outside.

He's going to be all right.

Right. One little .22 against heavy artillery.

Does this guy McCall know how to work to safety? Sure he does.

How do you know that?

He knows. I know him.

What are my instructions?

Your instructions?

Yeah, just do what you can.

But I want you back here alive.

Don't be a hero.

He'll make it if you get him to a hospital as soon as possible No, no

Then I wish him luck Give me one of these every half hour.

I'm gonna check the others

Doctor

Get me some water.

What is your name?

Deborah Wade.

Now, that'll make you feel better.

I'm sorry I can't do more for you, but you're gonna be just fine.

Anyone else?

Over here

Doctor

you

dropped your pen

We use these two.

Get out of here.

Tell them I want no more games.

Tell them they're out of time.

I want our transportation here in half an hour, or I will kill one person every

15 minutes after.

Now, get out.

So anyway, the story goes that the great bird of the north flew away and was

never seen again.

And to this very day, all the other birds fear his shadow.

That's interesting.

Yes, it is. You learned that in Japan? Yes.

I have been to Japan.

Really? Sure. I've been to many countries.

May I have your attention?

I need a volunteer.

I need someone to deliver this message.

I'll go.

I really think it might carry more weight if it came from someone like

Thank you, but that would not be fair to the others.

We will leave it to chance.

The bag.

Who will it be?

Otis Hendricks.

Oh, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Nonsense. It is the luck of the draw.

You will not be needing that.

You can leave it here. No, that's okay.

Please, please.

Why are you doing that?

Down.

You must go in now.

The words come on down.

There's no alternative.

Let's go.

Yes You're going home Our

demands have been accepted unconditionally

We will be leaving here in 15 minutes. Oh, Ray!

Let me explain the ground rules.

They're very simple.

If one of us dies, we all die.

Do what you're told, and everything will go smoothly.

There is nothing to fear as long as you do what you are told.

When will you let us go?

As soon as we have safe passage back home.

You mean you're going to take us on that plane with you? I hope that will not be

necessary. They won't allow it. They have no choice.

They have seen what happens when we don't get what we want.

Any more questions?

Yes.

May I use the men's room, please?

Yes, of course.

Thank you.

I'll just be a minute.

I expect you're in a hurry to get home.

I know I am.

You know, I don't think that I'd be much good in your line of business.

I think it's a little bit too stressful for me.

Mind you, the insurance business is pretty tough.

Competition is ferocious.

Absolutely ferocious.

I mean, I know some agents will go to any lengths just to get an account.

Come on.

Come on.

Prepare them all.

Check on them.

What about her?

Don't do it.

Why die needlessly?

Thank you.

Deborah.

Earlier on, when this happened to you...

Thanks for that. This was easy.

That's it?

That would seem to be it?

I can't wait to see Benjamin.

Well, now would be a good time. Go to her now. Go on.

And he decided not to close.

I don't suppose you considered coming in through the men's room, did you?

Nicole, you had to be there.

The next time, get it right, Mickey.

Get it right.
