we don't know it. Please don't tell me that.

Mercier scheduled to give a presentation to

the City Planning Commission this afternoon.

It's going down in 30 minutes.

Federal Courthouse.

Kleb, you better get Brookwell

and you let him know that his

Billion Dollar Baby's going down

and so is his chance at Mayor,

if he doesn't shut down Courthouse Four,

I mean lock it down tight, right now!

That's far enough.

Close it!

Max, I want you making sure

everyone is working out of my tent.

Anyone who is gettin' commands,

I want you to find them

and then confirm that they're working

off of my contingency scenario.

- Mine, not theirs. Ya, understand?

- Yes, Sir, Chief..

Bomb Squad's here, I want this

whole block swept in 15 minutes! Let work!

You got it!

Jesus, Man, it's a parking lot!

Where are you playin' tonight, Bro?

Looks really artsy.

Need some groupies or something? Huh?

Hey! Where you playin' tonight?

Maybe we'll show up.

Whatchya got in the other bag,

got your panties in there?

Panty-Man, we're talkin' to you.

That's right, walk away... B*tch!

- Bomb Squad, where you at?

- Building's clear.

There's no way we're vetting

all these vehicles in ten minutes.

Any one of 'em could

blow up the whole block.

Great. So we're sitting

in the middle of Baghdad.

Max, I'm walling-off that nation signal.

I want you to jam the cell grid. We'll take out

twenty square blocks minimum in all directions.

We'll cordon-off off Madison Avenue. I don't

want any lookie-loos within a thousand yards.

They're saying he stopped

at the corner of...

All circuits are busy at this time,

please try again...

- Damn it!

- Jody! Jody!

- Sh*t! We lost her.

- Bomb Squad. They shut down the cell towers.

Move!!

What are you doing

onboard the train, Man? Huh?

Hey, we're talking to you.

Ya hard o' hearin'?

Ya know, this guys a terrorist,

Take him out.

No, please, God, no.

Not me for playin' this.

Please, Man, no,

please I'm not gonna tell anyone.

Alex, you better be right on this one,

otherwise we got one helluva an

expensive fire drill goin' here.

Quite cryin' about politics for

a second and be a cop, please.

- Oh! That's great, give me a break, will ya?

- This isn't just some lunatic, Will.

It doesn't matter what he is.

Don't you understand?

Have you looked around, he's

steppin' into a hornet's nest.

There's not one scenario that you have thought

of that he has not already figured out.

Don't you understand

what I'm saying to ya?

The only thing to do here is to

stop Mercier right where he is...

I have 20 square blocks locked down.

20 blocks. Locked down.

This ends today.

In fact, it ends right now.

- Just in time for the six o'clock news, right?

- Aw, that's just great.

Both of you. You're both dismissed.

Get out. Get out. Go home.

Jesus!

Frenchie just pulled up.

Ya gotta think like him. You gotta get

inside his head. Where would he be?

Come on, Man. Get inside his head.

Think it through. Where would you be?

I wanted to personally assure you that we're

locked down here. We're completely safe.

The train.

The train.

Watch out.

Please, Man, no, please. I won't tell anyone.

Please don't hurt me, please. God.

The cell towers are back up.

Got three units on the way.

Can you hear me?

Where's the car? Go...

The car is stationary.

Bagley and Grand River.

- That's the old Michigan Theater.

- I know, but they turned that into a car park.

That's gotta be his way out.

Talk to me, Man. You okay?

- Tell me you're okay, Man.

- I'm okay.

Remember when we talked about

two graves, Detective?

I'm up here.

How... do.. you... like... it?

I am going to...

Good.

Enjoy this.

I... made... you.

Hang tight, here, okay?

I got you, Man, I won't let you drop.

Come on guys, hurry the hell up!

On ya! Hang in there, hang in

there, they're coming.

Good. Good. All right guys.

Let's go! Let's go! All right, on three.

One, two, three.

The worse is over, right?

No.

It's ain't over, Tommy.

Cross here.

We are assembling now.

Thank you for your help, Chief.

Please stand by.

- Who is this?

- I think you know who it is.

It seems that I have underestimated you,

Detective Dr. Cross.

How did you find me?

Your only vanity.

Your 14 carat gold ring

from the King of Cambodia.

You weren't wearing it

at the Courthouse.

But we both knew it wasn't you, right?

It was Cloche.

You sent him in there

to take the hit for you.

A hit that you, no doubt,

arranged on yourself.

Yes?

I'm at the line.

The transfer is being routed.

You know where to find her.

All of them. Do you understand?

My financial problems in

Germany were just the beginning.

- Everything begins in rubble.

- Yeah, 2008 wasn't a good year for you.

I was forced to do something drastic.

I could not go out a loser.

So you've embezzled from you Detroit fund?

Nunemacher and Fan Yau, they were

in on it to help you escape...

so you had to do away with them.

They were inside my information loop.

I had no choice.

And this psychopath?

Who is he?

I never knew his name.

I contacted him on the open market.

He came highly recommended.

You let that monster loose,

you thought you could control him?

You are an arrogant bastard.

Your wife was never,

never part of the equation.

- I am truly sorry.

- I think you should look out of your window.

What is this?

You have nothing on me.

- There is no extradition here.

- It's not extradition that I want.

You are in the perfect place.

But you have no proof, no case.

- I am clean.

- You were...

but your assistant, Paramita...

She's an addict. And I knew

it is only a matter of time...

before she got caught using

or selling or something.

She rolled over on ya.

Gave you up for immunity.

But I have nothing to do with the drugs.

I don't know nothing about them.

Then why are there two kilos of cocaine

in the trunk next to your favorite couch?

Do you have any idea what the punishment is

for drug smuggling, where you are?

- It's death by firing squad.

- You framed me with this...

- It is a lie! All dirty lies.

- My wife is dead because of you.

And soon you will be dead because of me.

No! No! No!

I think your days of underestimating

people are over, Monsieur Mercier.

Lies! No! Help me.

Let me go.

We got him.

Yeah, we got him good.

You walk outta here tonight,

how you gonna walk back in?

How ya gonna look your children in the eye,

what will you say them?

Well, I guess this is it.

Yeah, I guess so.

Here, you can save me a stamp.

- What's this?

- My application to the FBI.

D.C.'s lookin' like

a step up right about now.

What do you think?

I think you're worryin'

about getting your ass

shot up if I'm not around

here... to watch your back.

Very funny. That was actually

my concern about you.

Like the time I had to step in before

Charlie McClinch kicked your ass.

And that was... right... yeah...

the first day in kindergarten... yeah.

- Set the tone for our whole relationship.
