I want a car here

to take three... no!

Four people to the airport.

I want a plane

with five hours of fuel.

Okay, I'll see

what I can do on that.

Michael:

Don't you start lying to me!

I know who's in charge out there!

You listen to me!

I want all your people

out of there in 10 minutes

or I'm gonna start

killing the whole family!

- ( Crashes )

- We can't negotiate him out.

There are still

four hostages in there.

Bosworth needs killing.

We don't violate the rules

until they don't work.

Everyone's alive.

So far, this is still a potential win.

Someone bring a four-door car

to the house... now.

Be careful, Zack.

Be careful, honey.

Okay, Mommy. Don't worry.

Lady, this is

the sheriff's department!

- Mom!

- I love you. You'll be okay.

Drop him!

( Crashes )

They're gonna get us

out of here yet!

( Grenade bangs )

( screams )

- Tim:
Give me the gun.

- Nora!

Nora!

You're dying, Wally.

You're dying.

You're not going anywhere.

Michael:

Nora!

( Bangs ) Nora!

Give me the gun.

Give me the gun!

( Nancy whimpers )

Nora!

God damn it!

- Get over here!

- No! No! No!

( Sobbing )

I've decided

I love your family too much.

You're all coming with me.

The more the merrier, right?

You're through, Bosworth.

It's over.

You stay right there,

or you're gonna kill your wife.

- Tim!

- It's okay, Nora.

( Gasps ) Tim!

I'm still in control, Timmy.

Nora:

Tim!

Nothing can happen

to you, Nora.

If you never trusted me before,

you have to trust me now.

I'll blow her brains

right across the room!

You know what size hole

this caliber bullet makes

when it comes out

the other side, Timmy?

He can't hurt you, Nora.

He can't hurt you, honey.

( Gun clicks )

( doors slam )

( gun clicking )

Chandler:

Your car is waiting, Bosworth.

Do not move!

Stay down!

( Whirring )

Do not move!

We'll come to you!

( Yells )

Clay, get her

out of here, will you?

( Camera clicking )

( May sobbing )

( sobbing within )
