And the sun goes down.

In the city of angels, under cover of night.

People are drowning in a sea of light.

Devil holding your life on the line.

Angels are calling, rain for time.

Something's gotta give.

These are damn good weapons.

Don't screw them up, bro.

Dammit, Nicky, what'd I just say?

Sorry, dude.

This is your first job, so you gotta chill, man. That's real important.

You meditate?

Yeah, I'm cool.

Alright, let's go through this one more time.

Manny.

Everybody's on the floor.

Get the register.

Cover you.

Nicky.

I stay with the car.

After three minutes, I pull up to the door.

Keep the engine running.

Come on, come on. What else?

What else?

Keep an eye out for cops.

And what's numero uno?

We're family and we stick together.

Oh, one more thing.

This has got to go down quick.

Boom, boom, boom.

So, Chicken Little, we ordered like three dino wings with corn feet.

I guess my chickens here can't count.

Let me ask you something, kid. Have you always been a knucklehead or is it

something you picked up along the way?

And have you, like, always been a stupid chicken?

Dork.

Have you ever stopped to think about some of the things we do to survive?

Survival is primal, and we do what we have to.

But sometimes we cross over the line, which is exactly what happened to me and

Garner when we took an undercover case at a fast food restaurant that had been

robbed five times.

How's it going out there, Garner? You really want to know? Not really.

I hate these cars. I hate the people in the cars. I hate this heat.

A lot of sugarcoat, pal. Tell me how you really feel.

I hate being in a chicken suit sweating like a pig while you're sitting in air

-conditioned splint.

Oh, yeah, yeah. How did I get so lucky?

You

ready,

little bro?

Don't screw up, Nicky.

Three minutes.

I said I'm cool, Duke.

All right, let's do this, Manny.

What happened to the air conditioning?

It blew up.

What are you doing in here anyway?

Well, I thought I'd lie in the nest for a while, maybe.

Laser man.

When will these perps show?

Oh, God.

Everybody on the floor!

Take it easy, man.

It's on time. How long?

Six hours and change. I ain't waiting no six hours.

I'm telling you, man. I'm sorry.

Open the damn thing!

Please!

Put the gun down.

Now you put your gun down, man.

I'll cut her, man.

Now we both got one.

What the hell are you doing? Cops don't take hostages.

We're not cops.

You okay?

Leave me here, bro.

I'll figure something out.

You hang tight, daddy.

You poster dead!

Did you cross that road?

Hey, wait until my brother gets a hold of you.

You're dead!

perfectly.

Hello.

Car trouble?

Yeah, one of those days.

I've had those.

Masquerade party.

Actually, I'm on my way home from work.

Really?

You're a professional chicken?

No, I'm a private investigator.

Undercover job.

Stakeout.

At the coop.

You're funny. I like that.

So are you.

So do I.

Well, you know, birds of a feather.

I'm Summer.

I'm Garner.

I'm an attorney.

Do you need one?

Well, no, but I don't suppose you'd feel like picking up a little chicken on the

way home.

Well, hop in.

I just love a man in a foul mood.

$100 .02.

We nearly died of heat stroke wearing chicken suits for two days. I get a gun

my throat, and we get paid $100 .02.

The corporation that owns the franchise says that you only caught one robber,

insulted numerous customers, and hurt their business.

We also stopped at our library.

I thought they got everything in the cash register.

Oh, that.

Only this.

What did it get to say?

I thought there wasn't anything in the say.

Oh, picky, picky, picky.

Well, the corporation says that we're lucky they're not going to sue.

Sue? Sue? A hundred bucks? Sue?

A great American tradition.

We... Ledge, wait.

My Uncle Jerry used to say, Ledge stinks.

You lose your keys, you die.

But I like to think of myself as one of those people who sees the cup as half

full. Still, sometimes we get dealt a bad card, and the chicken caper

came up a deuce.

I don't know about this, Duke.

I mean, we're talking murder, man. Hey, I do the killing, little bro. You just

cover my butt, you understand?

Hey, listen to me, Nicky.

You and me and Manny are family.

And we stick together no matter what.

Yeah, I know, but why does somebody have to die over this? And right now we're

gonna get Manny back. And nothing else matters.

Nothing.

You understand?

I understand.

Proof. I'll tell you what.

Let's call the kids over and see.

That's a good idea.

There you go.

Are you sick or what?

No, no, no, no. I have sinus headaches. He's knocking right out.

Thanks, Lou.

Oh, hey, fellas. Sorry, we haven't opened yet. We've got another hour.

I'm looking for Mitchell Buchanan and Garner Ellerby.

I have a job they might be interested in.

Um, Mitch is powdering his nose. I'm his partner, Ryan McBride.

Pleasure.

Oh, there he is. Mitch, this is, um... Duke Stosha.

You remember me, right, Mitchell?

Lock the doors, man.

Nicky, watch him!

You're too sexy.

All right.

Now I want you to call LAPD.

I want you to say you've got a hostage situation.

And I want you to tell them to send a SWAT team.

And then call Flash Copy.

Flash Copy?

You know, the TV show.

Don't you know nothing, man? I got it. I got it.

My, my, my.

Garner, what are you doing here?

Decker?

All I did was kiss her goodbye.

We just got a call about a hostage situation.

Hostage situation here?

Is that the SWAT team, Nicky? Three black and white.

More coming.

Give me another, will you, sweet cheeks?

It's Ryan.

The name is Ryan. That's right.

Ryan.

Nice name.

Okay. Sit down.

Hey, easy, man.

There's nothing I'm gonna like more than putting a bullet in you, Mitchell.

But that comes later.

Now Ryan, I'd appreciate that beer.

That is one fine woman.

Hey, I told you not to move, Mitchell.

Next time I get serious.

Yeah?

Mitch? Mitchell can't talk right now.

He's a hostage.

Who the hell is this?

I'm Lieutenant Amanda Cash, hostage unit.

This is my show now, Sergeant.

Yes, ma 'am.

Okay, here's what I need. One, get a DWP crew down here in case we have to turn

off the power.

Two, get the FAA to grant me a no -fly zone before these media copters drive me

crazy. You clear on that?

No problem, Lieutenant.

Okay, big.

Why don't you set up my office and get some food down here.

Bottled water, coffee black, some sandwiches, ham and sourdough. Go.

And who are you?

I'm a PI.

I used to be with LAPD. It's my office up there. My partner's a hostage.

Do you have some information I can use?

No, but I know someone who does.

Just

what

I need. The queen of trash, Dormy Walter.

You let her in! You'll be checking parking meters.

18? That's old enough.

For what?

To stand trial as an adult.

Well, I ain't standing no trial, man.

Hey, kid.

There's only two ways for you to get out of here.

Handcuffs or body bag.

That's all the conversation about.

Shut the hell up.

Yeah. This is Lieutenant Amanda Cash, hostage unit, LAPD. To whom am I

I ask the questions for now.

You in charge?

I am.

I have three hostages here, and they all die unless you do what I say. You got

that? Understood.

Since Stormy Walter's in here for an interview, I want to go on live TV.

Is that it?

Watch Stormy. You'll see what else I need.

You've got three hostages.

Three? Did he give any names?

Negative. But guess who he wants to talk to?

Here,

we're ready.

Hang in there.

You ready, Duke?

Yeah, let's do it. Okay, you're live in five seconds.

Four, three, two...

This is Stormy Walters, live from Venice Beach, California, where armed fugitive

Duke Sosa has taken three hostages and has chosen Flash Copy to issue his

demands.

Duke, millions of Flash Copy viewers await your words.

Well, Stormy, there's two things I want. Are these people die?

That's Ryan, my other partner, and Lou Raymond, who owns the club.

Okay, Duke, what do you want?

America's waiting.

I want my brother Manny Sosa released from prison.

Brought here with a million dollars in unmarked cash, and I want it in two

hours.

You're going to agree to that?

Not a chance.

Tell me a little bit about yourself, Mr. Sosa.

Call me Duke.

Duke, what has brought you to this critical moment in your life?

Well, I think it all started when I was 10 years old and stole my first car.

I had my own gun by the time I was 13.

And what about your parents?

My old man was in jail the whole time I was growing up.

They're never going to release his brother from prison.

I'll give that fool a million dollars.

Either way, they're going to kill us.

How old were you? That's a very comforting match. What we got to do is

way out of here.

What we need is a miracle.

And your brothers?

I raised them myself.

Ladies and gentlemen, this is an incredible story. What's this stuff do?

Well, they're just like painkillers that make you kind of drowsy.

How many are left?

Three or four.

And is now in the most difficult struggle of his young life.

That should be enough.

You're my family.

I'll do anything.

Have you ever had any problems with the law?

One or two times.

Hey,

Nick, you ever done any time before?

No, that chicken joint was my first job.

Well, hey, maybe you better think about what's happening here, man, because, you

know, for murder, you can get 20 years, man.

And the one thing you don't want to do is wind up in the joint.

And there you have it, Mr. and Mrs. America, an exclusive While It's

interview with armed fugitive Duke Sosa.

holding three hostages in Venice, California, that he threatens to kill,

victim ads are met.

You're sending him in?

I have no choice.

The situation is non -negotiable.

I have my orders. Oh, come on. Give the guy what he wants. The lives of three

people are at stake. I realize that.

I talk with my superiors, and the answer's no. Then try again.

You saw this guy's rap sheet. He's a damn psycho.

When the queen of trash comes out, the SWAT team goes in.

I'm sorry, Garner.

There's no way.

The hostage unit, which is pushing us all back a quarter of a mile. There's

nothing I can do. Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing? Hey, what's up with you,

fella? Look, it's okay. The hostages are my friends.

So hear me out.

Stormy, I have a plan that could make you bigger than Geraldo.

It's not happening.

Much for that plan.

Nothing I hate worse than warm beer.

I need a cool one, Ryan.

Sure.

Boy, Ryan, I gotta tell you, I love the way you walk.

We aren't distracting this guy.

Well, he seems to be taking what Ryan... Hey, Nicky, come here and get a beer.

Duke.

Is that your real name?

Yeah.

My old man had a thing about John Wayne.

Well, then, why isn't your name John?

Okay.

Do you dance, Duke?

What are you talking about?

Well, I mean, we might as well pass time somehow, huh?

I think she likes me, Nicky.

What's the matter, Duke? You afraid of me?

I ain't afraid of nothing.

Good, then.

Why don't you play us something?

I can do that.

Make it real slow and sexy.

I've got a room I've got a room

with a view

I've got a room

I've got a

full of worries and a room with a view of the blues

I said these walls

they are closing in on me

I'm talking

thinking about himself, you know.

No way.

Really?

He killed somebody?

Yeah, yeah.

His wife.

Did 17 years in Alcatraz.

If I were you, I'd think long and hard about throwing the rest of my life away.

Hey, hey, hey, hey.

And on the first date, big boy.

You think I'm stupid?

What?

I get anywhere near that door, and there's two SWAT snipers out there just

waiting to pop me.

I don't know what you're talking about.

Yeah?

Then you go stand there and see how long it takes to be dead.

Then they would shoot me, too.

I'm not a cop. I'm a P .I.

We ain't finished dancing yet.

Sometimes life deals you an ace.

It's one of those rare moments when everything seems to come together at

the right place and the right time.

And it looks like the pot is all yours.

This wasn't one of those times.

Cool it, man.

Yeah? Duke, you're a hit.

America wants to see more of you. Are you interested?

Hell yes.

When?

Your call. The sooner the better.

We don't want to give the appetizer sweaty palms.

My brother here yet?

He's en route, but I think we should come in now. We can do a family portrait

later.

All right, let's do it.

Great. You have to tell Cash.

Hold on.

Lieutenant, Luke's so fast.

I want Stormy Walters back in here now.

I can't do that, Mr. Sousa.

You can't do that?

I'm ordering you to do that!

Told you to shut up!

quite injured at this time, but we'll stay with him as long as we can, ladies

and gentlemen.

Ma 'am, you gotta move back now.

Okay, okay, okay. We're out, all right?

How you doing?

Okay, but that punk can't shoot straight, man.

He shot me right in the love handle. It was the most protected part of my body.

Uh -oh.

That's good news, too. How are Mitch and Ryan?

in there is crazy, man.

He could pop up any minute.

They need help. You gotta give them some help, man.

I could have killed him, Amanda.

I was just warning.

You get my brother here in 30 minutes or the next one is dead.

Bang!

I'll send Stormy in.

Long time no see.

Who's this?

Oh, that's just my sound guy. He should have been here an hour ago.

Duke, you really captured the heart of America. I mean, what can I say? They're

just begging for more.

I wouldn't want to disappoint my public.

Hey, listen, Stormy. I got this great idea.

I think my fans are really going to eat it up.

Interesting.

What?

You think I'm stupid chicken little?

Did you get that?

Now check this out.

I'm going to kill you.

Not today, pal.

Ladies and gentlemen, this is truly unbelievable.

A fugitive in a hostage in a life and death struggle.

Here, live, exclusive on Flash Copy.

Come here, you punk! Come on! Come on!

You okay?

I'm okay.

busted. Shoot him.

Don't do it, Nick.

You can never take this moment back, man.

Shoot him.

No.

Don't make me do it, Duke.

Remember numero uno, Nicky. We stick together.

You're the man now, Nick.

Now, just do me a favor, huh?

Let these other people go, huh?

The man needs a doctor.

You don't get him out of here, he's going to die.

He dies.

You take the fall.

We're talking the rest of your life, kid.

I don't want to kill anybody, Duke.

All right, go. Go, go, go.

Give me the damn piece.

It ain't right, Duke.

They said they were going to release Manny.

But it ain't going to happen.

Maybe Duke is the one who lied.

That SWAT team is sitting out there just waiting to pop us. Unless we show them,

we're calling the shots.

Shoot him.

You still got a life, kid.

You've still got a life. What kind of life?

There's nothing there, man.

Nothing. Not a damn thing.

Shoot him.

I ain't shooting nobody, Duke.

Duke.

Duke.

Duke.

I'm sorry, man.

I'm sorry.

You scared me.

Now I know how I move when I get old.

Imagine how I feel. I've been moving like this for many years, man. Ryan, the

war's over. We're here.

Sure was nice of Ryan to make us lunch. I didn't know she could cook.

Yeah, well, you ever tasted her coffee?

What do you mean?

Montezuma's Revenge.

Hello, gentlemen.

I hope you're hungry.

Well, after two days of hospital food, home cooking sounds great.

After two days of listening to you snore.

Sleeping sounds great.

Well, at least I don't sing in my sleep.

How did you two end up in the same room anyway?

A trick of fate.

Well, I hope you like it.

Cobbleman, California Roasters.

Mr.

Buchanan, Adrenaline.

There you go.

In the blink of an eye, the devil is watching as we fly into the

night.

In the night, you can hear the sirens call as
