77th morning unit, clearly identified.

Ah,

kid. I can smell the money from here.

You say that every time. You know that
every time we come near this place?

Yeah, but this is the day, kid. That's
the difference.

You're a little scared.

Yeah, but that's the kick of it, ain't
it?

It takes guts to knock off a banged
picture, Joe.

I want to tell you something. This one's
going to be easy.

You watch.

How come I got to always keep pumping
you up?

We was doing all right, Richie.

No, he wasn't.

What's the matter with you?

Tonight we're going to check into a big
hotel.

Maître D's, bellhops, room service and
all that kind of stuff.

I know.

So?

I'm just a little scared is all.

Don't worry, Richie. I'm not going to
back out on you.

No, you wouldn't, Victor Joe.

We're not going.

You move, we start shooting.

So you just could do what we tell you to
do. Let's go.

Load it up.

All units in the vicinity at 12 out of
27 at 211 in process at the bank.

1600 Block Union Street, 12 out of 27,
your call is code 3.

12 out of 27, roger. We have a one
minute ETA to location.

Come on, come on.

Oh, yes, Mrs. Rupert. Yes, I think we
have that confirmation.

Would you hold that?

Hello, Mr. Rupert. Mrs. Rupert, how are
you today?

Not in time.

I promise you, you'll be in Rome next
Thursday.

Mr. Parker, sir, what'll it be this fine
morning?

Oh, I don't care. Same old thing.

How about a peanut bagel? What?

All right.

Get over there.

Get...

Oh, shit.

Go get him.

Get out! All you people get out!

How should I know?

Couldn't be useless. You just imagine
him. I've been through two wars, Mr.

Parker. Those were gunshots, all right.

Handguns. Just some darn kid with a loud
car is what it was.

Sue, what are all the sirens for then?
Hey!

Everybody out here where I can see you.

What is this?

I said everybody now.

Go there. Get that wall. Move it.

Who do you think you are, anyway?

Oh, my God.

That's who I am.

Looks like the 12th floor.

Yeah, the car's still there. Call for a
backup. We've got to secure this

location.

This man's bleeding. You're just going
to let him lie here?

Yes.

114 to R20 and R30, David.

30, David, go.

Give me a number. Code 2.

30, David, roger.

There's a phone over there.

Bucket to SWAT column.

Oh, God, you're getting carried away too
well.

Hey, a dollar a day.

Who's the big honcho around here?

Who runs this joint?

Uh, well, there's a main office
downtown, but Mr.

Parker... Hmm, Mr. Parker.

Well, Mr. Parker, you get over there and
lock that door.

The boss has got keys. Watch him, Joe.

Was this some sort of surveillance?

Yes.

I suppose you could say that.

No, you don't now. I'm on my day off.

Oh, now you consider it work, huh?

Oh, baby, I'm still asleep.

What do you mean?

Can't work it out for yourself, huh?

You get to call me sexy.

Oh, that.

Yeah, that.

Coming all back to you now, huh?

Well, let me tell you, little girl, can
you give me, um... Let me get a good

hold of you.

You're kind of a mix, but I really am.

Perfect.

You don't have to answer that, you know.

Damn, I'm calling.

Yeah,

tight here.

1600 Block Union.

Yeah, I got it.

Oh, not a call. Not today.

You just put these little dents right
here, see?

And the mattress is sort of like a
bookmark. And it'll remind me of when I

off, you know?

Understand? You stay away from me, girl.

This is going to be easy.

Oh, relax, Mr. Joe.

We've got hostages.

We're going to go out of here in style.

Come on, sleepyhead. Get a move on.

Don't get smart.

Come on, you love me and you know it. I
must. You should see what I left in bed.

Okay, boss, here's what we got. A 211
went down.

Suspects popped a couple of caps and a
patrol officer was shot. His name is

Johnson. He's okay.

Now, the suspects are holding up in
there and they've got hostages.

Patrol has the area sealed off up to the
12th floor. Is that where they are?

Right, 12.

Now, we're out of the kill zone here.

Suspects are on the other side of that
structure, so we can move around freely.

You want me to suit up? No, you stay in
3C. You're going to be the negotiator.

What do you think?

I think we've got work to do.

Okay, let's go. Let's go.

Tight. Obviously you haven't made
contact yet, huh? No, sir.

Bolton just went up to G2 to location.
And there's no CP? Not yet. You've got

stop driving so fast. Thanks, sir. Give
me a description of the characters.

Thanks. Get set up.

I'll see you over there. Right.

Hello, Rigby.

Hi, Solano. What do you say, Doc?

Nothing. All right, it's the 12th floor.
Let's go. You ready to go?

Yeah. I don't get it. You dumped a cop.
There ought to be a small army down

there.

Just because you can't see him, Victor
Joe.

I used to say, dude.

Oh, lousy young punks. Be quiet, will
you?

He doesn't need me to tell him. He knows
what kind of scum he is.

You want another one?

Not particularly.

Well, you better cool it.

Come on over here.

You know, what bothers me, Victor Joe,
is all this glass.

It'd be awful easy for them to come
busting in here.

How about we move some of them sofas in
front of here?

Maybe a desk even?

Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah, but we don't have to do the work.

Not as long as we're holding these.

This floor empty? All the way. About 11
and 13.

Working on it. Okay, the building
engineer?

Right here.

My name's Tapp. Mr. Tapp, I'm Sergeant
Bolden. This is Sergeant Duval, Officer

Goshen.

Well, if you'll come with me.

Okay. That area around there is what we
call the kill zone. We like to keep it

clear. These are glass doors here?

Yes. Could be a little hairy.

Six elevators?

Well, to this floor, yes.

And a freight elevator. Okay, Mr. Tuff,
I want you to ground everything right

now and leave the freight elevator for
us to use, okay?

In case the suspects come bowling out, I
want complete control and no surprises.

Right. Got it.

What we're going to do is place four
teams here.

And flank that office.

Rest team one.

Rest team two.

High ground one. High ground two. Okay?

Be aware of the situation here. Watch
the crossfire.

Any questions, comments, suggestions?

Complaint?

Go to work.

General, this okay for CP?

It's fine.

I need seven minutes to put my men in
position, and then you can turn on the

mountain marines.

Okay. Rigby, hostages. How many? Who are
they? I want you to dust the suspect's

car for prints. Run the license number.
Get me whatever you can to identify

those turkeys in there. You know what I
want? Criminal profile, psychological

background, whatever they've been
involved in. You got that?

Okay. Okay, go.

Send up my civic bag.

Berlin to 20 David, in position.

High ground two, we are ready.

Arrest two, in position.

How are you, Nick?

We'll get you again, Doc. All right,
Ron, primary negotiator. Nick's your

secondary, he'll be keeping the lock.

Doc, I'd like you to just hang in here,
give a listen to what's going on, give

me your opinion.

Okay.

Well said.

Now, Mr. Parker, you can assemble your
work crew and move the furniture over

here in front of the door now.

Hey, wait a minute. You know, I was just
thinking.

That's the only way out of here. No.

Hostages.

That's our way out of here.

Richie, nobody's going to let us just
walk out of here.

They'll do exactly what we tell them to
do. You got it?

Don't be so sure.

This building is full of bullies by now.

I don't care who or what you think you
are.

I'm walking out of here.

Right now.

Can you believe him?

I just shot a cop down there.

You think you matter to me, you fly?

Of course not.

You try taking a shot at me, they'll
come through that door.

They'll come through shooting.

You sound pretty sure about that.

Sure enough to bet my life.

You willing to bet yours?

You cops now, Eustace.

My next shot drops you.

I made up my mind about that.

Eustace, please, don't kill me.

Just play it cool. Just play it cool.
That goes for everybody.

Let's find out what's going on. The Moth
Marines are establishing contact right

now.

What's your name, miss?

What's your name, miss?

Sharon. Sharon Bristol.

Sharon Bristol.

Well, Sharon and Bristol, get over there
and answer that phone. See who it is.

Go on.

Hello. Hello.

My name is Ron Tice. I'm a police
officer.

You all right in there?

Yes, I think so.

What about that shot I heard?

We're all all right.

Well, let's put him on the swap box
here.

Hello?

Who is this? Who am I talking to?

Sharon Bristol.

All right, Sharon.

Just take it easy.

I want you to understand we're here to
protect you, and everything's going to

all right.

Sharon, can you hear me?

Yes, yes.

Who's in there with you, Sharon?

Myself, Ozzie Parker, Eustace, I'm
sorry, McCoy, Eustace McCoy,

Ginny Hossford, and Mr. Weiser, and...
Some other men too, right?

Yes. Can you tell me who they are?

No. No, he won't let me.

Sharon, can they hear me now?

Yes.

All right, well, if you can't tell me
who they are, I'll just use John and

okay?

So look, John, here's the situation.

Now, we are not going to come running in
there or try anything foolish. You got

my word on that.

On the other hand, we're not going to go
away either.

That makes it your decision concerning
if anyone gets hurt, you know.

Now, John, I want you to think about
releasing those people and coming out.

you do that, if you let them go and you
walk out unarmed with your hands on your

head, I will personally guarantee your
safety. I mean that, John.

Nothing will happen to you.

Yeah, except jail.

Just tell him to go sit on it.

Uh, he said... I heard him.

Look, I know how you feel in there,
John.

Joe, you got an awful lot on your mind,
right? It's understandable you'd say

something like that.

But believe me, nobody's going anywhere,
so you just relax and talk it over.

I'll call you back in five, okay?

Well, we'll be waiting for your call.
Don't you worry about that.

We'll be sitting here waiting for your
call.

Won't we?

All right.

All right.

Beautiful, huh?

Brother.

They left all this here. I wonder what
they took with them. World War II?

Got a couple of good lifts here.

That's a break.

Run those lifts down to R &I Code 2 and
really hang in there, will you? I need a

full identification on these suspects.

Hand -search the files if you have to.

Right. Well, do any of the windows open?
No.

Are any of the walls movable? Not in
that office, no. How about the floor?

Four inches of steel and concrete.

Okay, now the air conditioning, where do
you control that from? We have breaker

panels on every floor.

Okay, how about the water, electricity?

Sure, I can cut that off, yeah. All
right, you do that. You kill everything

there. Water, power, air. Just leave the
telephone.

Right.

Come over here. Sit down.

Come on, sit down.

Sit down.

Sit down there. Sit down.

Get over there. Sit down.

Now, I want to tell you something.

When the cops come busting through
there, they're going to cut through you

get to me.

It ain't all brotherly love. You know
what I mean?

Now, when he called again, let's ask him
about that cop.

Why?

If he dies, that's murder.

I don't care about him.

I don't care about him!

I want to get a bottle of money and I'm
going up to Canada.

That's what I'm going to do.

Hey, you go with me. Hey, this is our
day. Remember, I told you so.

Yeah, I told you so. It's all right.

The air conditioning's off. What are
they doing to us out there? What kind of

damn tools are there anyway?

You're right, Mr. Weiser.

You're absolutely right.

Because it's just little stuff like that
that can get me ticked off.

They may be going too far.

Then somebody's got to pay, and that can
be you.

You!

Get it straight.

Let's see what you wrote.

You tell him I'm not kidding about that
stuff.

Okay? You tell him.

Five minutes, he said. He's going to
call back in five minutes. Five minutes.

Hello?

Sharon, it's Ron again. How you doing?

Oh, all right.

All right.

Now, I told John and Joe I'd give them
time to think it over. I was wondering

the situation's changed at all.

I have a list here. Yeah, let's have it.
First, he wants $200 ,000 in cash and

transportation out of the building to
the airport.

Do you have that?

Yeah, go on.

All right, and a flight to Canada.

Just a minute.

Yes, the transportation must be a fast
car.

with a police radio, and he wants two
M16 rifles with 500 rounds

of .223 ammunition.

Listen, Sharon, hang on. I can stop you
right there.

Guns and ammo are out. There's just no
way in the world I can get that.

Well, he says you will have to or face
the consequences.

See, what John has to understand is I'm
just a middleman. I have no power to

make...

decisions of that nature.

I'll run it by the brass, but I'm pretty
certain of the answer.

I mean, it's just flat against policy.

See, if John could come up with another
alternative, that would be great. But

let's not get hung up on that right now.

Let me have the rest of the list.

They want the power back on.

John is very, very angry that you did
that.

Look, I had nothing to do with that, but
let me get on it right away and I'll

call you back in five minutes.

Hold on.

John says, what about all the money and
the other stuff?

Well, it's going to take a little time.
I've got to run and buy some people.

I'll get busy on this end and get back
to you in 15 minutes.

No, he says 15 minutes is too long.

John, you still hear me?

Yes.

See, John, you've given me an awful lot
to do here.

Now, I'm going to do everything that can
be done for you, but I've got to run

this past a lot of people.

That's going to take a little time.

So now... You just relax there and give
me a chance to do my thing.

And meanwhile, should you need to get in
touch with me, I'd like to give you the

number of my phone here. You got
something to write it down with?

Then you get a signal out from here.

Okay, this will do. Set up right here.

What do you got, Rigby?

Employment applications on the hostages.

Here you go, Doc.

Better get photocopies of these pictures
right away. I haven't passed out.

Already in the works.

You hear about the 45 ammo in the car?

Yeah.

We got something on everyone except the
guy they call Weiser.

Yeah. Poor sucker probably just wandered
in there.

What a lousy timing.

All we have to do is sit it out.

Just sit it out.

I'll tell you about those two, what it's
worth.

They're going to have to come through me
in order to get at you.

Isn't that such a surprise?

You hardly know me.

I've never done anything for you.

Well, now's your chance.

Keep an eye on him.

Hey, you know, you did all right with
that.

Now, what's the matter here?

You afraid of me?

You got a husband?

A boyfriend?

No, not exactly.

How old are you?

Thirty -five.

Thirty -five and you don't have a
boyfriend?

That don't sound right.

Want to go to Canada?

Oh, boy.

Where are they?

1232, sir. That's the 12th floor. Thank
you.

Deputy Chief yet?

Who's the commanding officer?

I am, sir. What's the situation?

Well, sir, we've got to... You are not
going in there, are you?

No, sir. You are not going to
precipitously shoot anyone or arrest

suspects? Sir, we have our procedures
here.

All right.

Now, about the hostage list.

Are you absolutely certain it has been
confirmed?

Oh, yes, sir. We've checked.

Hosford?

Ginny Hosford? You're not related to
Ginny Hosford, are you, sir?

That's my daughter -in -law they have in
there.

Oh, boy.

Well, you can expect trouble from our ex
-Navy man.

Eustace McCoy?

Yeah.

Military background.

Strong sense of right and wrong, but
inflexible.

Will not submit to indignities.

What are you telling me, Doc? We got a
ticking bomb in there?

What's it sound like to you?

Great. He could blow the whole thing
wide open.

Yes, listen.

You really surprised me.

This is no coffee or donuts, Mr. Parker.
This is life or death.

Yes, I know.

You're a pair of fools, you know that,
don't you?

Yeah, with guns.

Well, I don't trust them. I'm not going
to stay here and play the victim.

If I see a way, I'm going out of here,
no matter what.

I'm going to go.

I'll be right with you, brother.

I'm not going to wait for anybody, and
I'm not going to say anything. I'm just

going to go. So consider yourselves
forewarned.

You're not risking my life in here.

I don't intend to risk your life. Heck
no.

Them two over there, they're crazy. They
wouldn't be here in the first place.

You take them butt -loose out of here,
and they're liable to turn and kill me

just out of spite.

Like I say, it's life or death.

I'm not dying for you, no, sir.

You make any kind of move that endangers
me, I'll holler my head off to them,

too. You mark my words, I will.

What are you trying to tell me?

It's what we call verbal tactics, sir.
To buy us some time.

I don't understand.

Well, it's not that hard to kill a
stranger, sir.

But those people in there, they're
locked up in a single space.

As time goes by, they're going to get to
know one another.

I suppose.

Well, that's just the point, sir. It's
what we call positive transference of

feelings.

Harder to kill someone you know, right,
sir?

Someone you have feelings for?

How can you talk about feelings? Those
suspects have no feelings.

Yes, sir, they do.

Oh, yes, survival.

We're working on that now, sir. Trying
to set up a rapport with the suspects,

reduce their anxiety level.

Less likely a calm man will pull the
trigger for no reason, sir.

I suppose you're right, Sergeant.

I just hope you know what you're doing.

We do, sir.

Sir, we've set up a remote speaker in
there.

You can listen in to negotiations next
time they call back if you want to.

If I want to.

I want to.

Yes, sir.

Sir, we know there's someone in there
you love very much.

That knocks everything cockeyed.

Victor Joe Vero and who?

Bart Ritchie Neptune.

They call him Ritchie.

Well, they really came out of their
death by hitting that bank.

Yours read like mine?

I'm knocking over a phone booth from gas
stations.

These turkeys are pathetic.

What do you say, Doc?

I'd say this is the big moment in their
lives.

So, you can expect unreasonable demands.

Growing sense of power.

Impatience with almost everything.

You think he might start offing the
hostages?

It's a possibility.

Doc.

Now, what would you say if I told you we
have a very important hostage in there?

What are you talking about?

Virginia Hosford is Deputy Chief
Hosford's daughter -in -law.

Deputy Chief.

That's a new wrinkle.

If someone tips the balance, it could be
a slaughterhouse in there.

This is Volusia. It's 12 .30 hours.
We're still in negotiations.

Yeah, Sharon, is that you? Ron, you
know, it's been almost three hours.

John, he's getting really upset. He's
getting ready to do something that he

you won't like.

Well, upset about what?

The guns, the money, everything.

Sharon, you know, he asked me for the
moon. It's going to take a little time.

He says that he doesn't believe you.

He's getting really upset.

I can't say that I blame him.

Look now, Sharon, just take it easy and
relax.

When you say he, which one are you
talking about?

John.

Yeah, but which one is John? Let's get
this straight right now. We'll save a

of confusion.

Is John Clark Ritchie Neptune or Victor
Jolvero?

What?

I said, are you talking about Richie or
Victor Joe?

Hold on.

Ron, I can't talk anymore.

They know our names, Richie. Now, how do
they know our names out there?

What is going on?

Ah, relax.

Well, it ain't no big deal. Well, if
they know our names, what else do they

know? Who cares?

Ain't no secret we have here, boy.
What's the matter with you?

Kill that squawk box.

Hello?

Who is this?

It's Captain McKay.

Who? Captain McKay. He's a television
reporter and he wants to talk to one of

the gunmen. Oh, yeah?

Well, I'll take it. I'll take it in the
office there. My office.

Hey, kid, we're on television.

What's this?

Hello?

Say, what channel are you on, anyhow?

They'll do exactly what we tell them to
do. Got it.

What's up there?

About two feet of airspace.

No, that's for sure.

Those panels lift out. There was a
workman up there last week poking around

something or other.

Makes a man wonder.

Yeah, I know.

Lying's with me. Our friends in the
media, I'll bet you anything.

Every single time.

They gotta get their story right. May
cost a few lies, but public has to know,

even though they don't want to.

Okay.

I'll handle it.

Yeah.

No. No, we're going to Canada.

You better believe first class, buddy. I
got my own airplane.

Hey, hold on a minute here, will you?

What's going on?

Do you think that you ought to go to
Canada?

Sure. Why not?

I don't know. I don't think it's a good
idea.

Huey Newton went to Canada.

That's right.

And they kicked him out, didn't they?

Hey, that's sweet of you to tell me
that. You know that?

McKay?

We're not going to go to Canada.

No. McKay?

Hello, McKay?

That cop's messing around again. I'll
fix that, son.

Hello? It's Ron.

Time to wait.

You.

I think we take them off.

Hello?

Hello, who's this? Who am I talking to
now?

This is Jenny Hosford.

All right, Jenny, I'm Ron. What can I do
for you?

This man here.

Richie? Yes, Richie.

He says that he's going to kill me in 30
minutes.

He says that's all the time you have to
get the power on.

He wants the money and the power on and
the guns.

Guns are out, Jenny. Now, he knows that.
He says he doesn't care. He says, do it

or he'll kill me. And he means it. I can
tell by looking at his eyes that he

means to kill me.

Just relax now. I'm here to help you.

I have to hang up.

All right, well, uh, I give it to, uh...

Straight up one o 'clock.

I like the sound of it. You're going to
have to give him something.

Hey, Richie.

Something's been bothering me.

What did you do that for?

Do what?

Talk to that news guy.

Kid, this morning you was nobody and I
was nobody.

Now what?

I don't know. What is my kid going to
think about that?

Oh, man, you're a kid.

Hey, don't you put her down.

I'm not putting her down.

You don't put down that kid in front of
me.

All right.

Yes? Hello, Sharon.

Okay, look.

I just talked to those maintenance
idiots, and you'll have power right

Uh, the shot cop, how is he?

Yes, his name is Johnson, Officer
Johnson.

And, uh, he's out of surgery, and looks
like he's doing fine.

He'd say that no matter what, you know.

Ron, Richie doesn't believe you.

Richie, we're total strangers, you know.
We don't know beans about each other.

But you give me some time and I will
prove to you my word is good.

Time? You got 28 minutes, buddy.

28 minutes and then I'm going to show
you a dead body.

Richie, I'm glad you're alive.

Because you got a lot of really heavy
decisions ahead of you and it helps

talking direct to you like this. So,
look, let's just... Let's just cool and

let's just wait for the power to come on
and I'll call you back.

You just don't get my message, do you?

I told you what I want.

And I told you how much time you have to
do it. At one o 'clock.

If I don't have what I want, then this
hospital dame here, she's the first to

go. She's got kids and she's got a
husband.

Do you want to be the one to explain to
them how come their mommy got her head

blown off?

I got it.

I got your message, brother.

I'll call you right back.

What are you going to do?

Sir, we know how to handle this. That
man is going to kill my daughter -in

in 30 minutes.

Sir, we met Officer Tice. How do you do?

So, Officer Belusia, how do you do? It's
Dr. Taylor, department psychologist.

Fine, now.

Sir. Answer the question.

Sir.

Solano, do you realize what's happening
here?

Chief, we have what we call here a
stress situation, and these men, all

men, need to concentrate. So if you'll
please come down the hall with me, I

think I can set your mind at ease.

Sir.

She'll be all right, sir.

All right.

You can't get through here.

Oh, I just wanted to find out if my
husband was up there.

Where? You don't mean the tour office?

I'm afraid so, yes.

He didn't come home.

What's your name, lady?

Weiser. Mrs. Alfred Weiser.

I tell you, Mrs. Weiser, you better come
with me.

My son is going through hell waiting to
hear something.

Just how do you keep them from killing?

Sir, once we had a suspect that demanded
$100 ,000, and that officer in there,

Officer Tice, talked him down to $2 .50.

That's unbelievable.

I know how it sounds, sir, but it
happened.

All right, it happened, but this is a
desperate situation.

We've gone exactly 26 minutes. Sir, that
suspect was holding his shotgun, gave

us five minutes to deliver, and he
wasn't kidding.

Officer Tice pulled the same kind of a
situation.

on another suspect, and he bought the
gun out of the suspect's hand. What?

Actually bought it.

Now, you know, you can give him
something here if you wanted to,

he can work with, something with real
clout.

I could? Yes. You see, these suspects
are demanding cash. That's right, $200

,000. $200 ,000. It could be that we can
exchange the cash for a couple of the

hostages.

But $200 ,000, I'm afraid we would have
trouble.

Getting the authorization, we... All the
time, if you want.

Now, what do you need more guns for?

I mean, hell, you got a couple of .45s
up there already.

I'm talking about M16s.

I can't get the guns for you, Archie.

Don't ever give them to me.

But look, we gotta start dealing
somewhere, so I'll tell you what.

You give me something, I'll give you
something.

How did he know about that? How did he
know we had .45s? Like what?

You drop your demand for the guns, and
I'll give you the money you asked for.

$200 ,000 on Mark Vills.

Any way you want it.

I'll think about it.

Hey, Richie, be honest with yourself,
brother. You don't need more guns, but

sure got to have money.

Hey, Richie, what's the matter? Why
aren't you talking to me? The power just

came on.

Right.

Now you know I keep my word.

Oh, big deal. You threw a switch.

Hey, Mitzi, don't be bitter. It's
because you needed me to get it done.

Chief, Chief, I'm sorry this is urgent
business. What can you tell us?

Hold it right there. What's that?

Chief, are you talking to anybody out
there at all? Has there been any change

the situation? Any communication that
you've had with the people? The hostage

okay.

Well, you saw it.

Whatever urgent business Deputy Chief
Franklin J. Hossford has, he's not

it with us.

However, his urgent manner would
indicate that there is some change

up there on the 12th floor.

Hey, what's he talking about, Richie?
What change? What's he talking about?

It's just some big brass, kid. I don't
know.

As I look around here at this scene, the
police perimeter, the gathering crowd,

I'd say the situation appears to be
about normal.

Yet one can't apply that word normal to
a situation of this urgency.

Hotred. Deputy Chief Hotred.

What are you hiding that for? Shut up,
you fool.

This changes everything.

Cool it, will you? Just cool it. You
don't understand.

If she's related to that Deputy Chief,
why... That man is all my trouble.

That woman's worth all four of us. What
are you talking about?

Don't make me deal with you. This has
nothing to do with you.

I've got to get out of here. We've all
got to get out of here, brother.

Then what's the matter with you?

She's our ticket to freedom.

Right there.

I say again, don't make me have to deal
with you.

What are you going to do?

Shoot me?

Hi. What's your name?

Vicki Jovaro.

Vicki Jovaro.

Are you here alone?

Where's my daddy?

What happened?

Her mother's in the hospital.

Nothing serious, just a virus.

I told her the whole story. She really
started squawking.

Apparently she hates the old man.

You refused flatly to bring the girl
down here. I told her lady.

It's an outside chance this girl could
save some lives.

Yeah. Mister, can I see my daddy now?

I'll tell you what, Vicki.

Maybe in a little while.

But we've got a waiting room down the
hall. You want to go down there with me

and you can wait for him there? How
about it?

Okay?

Yeah.

Richie? This better be good, man.

I got a message for Victor Joe.

Victor Joe?

I don't need to talk to him.

Tell him this little girl is out here.

He's asking about her daddy.

Boy, now you've done it, man. You big
mouth.

What? Now you got my little girl
involved in this whole mess here. Aw,

do you think they're going to do, bust
her?

Richie, what do I tell her?

I don't care. Tell her... Now you just
cool it with that. You cool it.

Struck a nerve?

Yeah.

What time?

We've got some fresh coffee and donuts
here.

Thought you might want something.

Vicki, how about you?

What's the matter?

My daddy don't let me no more.

Oh, no, that's not true.

Why do you say that?

Because he won't come and see me.

He will.

Well, as soon as he can, he will.

I promise.

I know, it's hard to wait sometimes.

Vicki, we both have someone in there.

So let's just keep on waiting together.

Chief Buster, can you tell us what's
going on? Not now.

What's going on?

Is that a headache?

Oh, we get a headache.

Has anything happened?

No, sir. The status quo. Sorry it took
so long. We had to record the serial

numbers. But it's all there. I signed
for it myself.

I wouldn't worry too much, sir. They
can't spend it in there.

20 David to High Ground 2.

High Ground 2.

Okay, Houser. The delivery's going down
now. Keep an eye out.

Roger.
