Hostage Page #4

Yeah, Chief,

Yeah, the snipers are shifting positions,

Louise? Louise, come back,

- Come on, Louise, Where's that patch?

- I'm locked out.

It's a dedicated line, Chief,

They won't let me cut in,

What about Walter Smith's cell phone?

Did you get that?

Uh... yes. Yes, I got it.

- OK, go,

- It's 805-459...

Dennis, you know what I'm hearing?

I'm hearing your dad's a real son of a b*tch,

No, we're f***ing done, OK?

All I want is my f***ing helicopter

to fly me the f*** out of here,

You got that, fuckhead?

Dennis, listen, I...

Hi. This is Walter Smith.

You've reached my voice mail.

- Sh*t,

- Please leave a message.

Come on, Dennis, Pick it up, Come on,

He keeps ringing,

- Hello?

- Dennis, this is Jeff Talley.

Listen to me, Watch the security channel,

Dennis, can you hear me?

Yeah, I don't really know

what you're talking about,

The hell you don't!

Shut up and listen to me!

Just watch the TV.

Just keep watching the outside cameras.

- Yeah, what am I supposed to be seeing?

- Shut up!

Get your ass on the floor

and watch the outside cameras, Dennis,

I'm watching, OK? I'm watching,

What?

What? What are they doing?

- What?

- Talk to me, Dennis.

- Yeah, Yeah, I'm here,

- Listen to me. Listen to me carefully.

The Sheriff's playbook

is to make you dead.

First they're gonna

shoot out those cameras,

and then they're gonna shoot you.

Am I clear?

- What are you talking about?

- I'm trying to save your life!

- I don't understand what...

- Shut up! I'm trying to save your life.

But you said you weren't the guy,

I am the guy, Dennis,

I am the guy.

TAC sergeant,

pull your people back 50 yards,

Hold it, You turned

authority of this situation over,

I'm reassuming command,

What are you waiting for?

Disregard,

You don't give orders to my men,

Now, ten minutes ago you called and

told me to shoot out the cameras, Now...

You shot out the cameras?

I give you great intel like that and you

just piss it away? Way to go, big time,

I am not gonna let you step back in

after you stepped out,

- This is my town,

- Captain Shoemaker!

I invited you into my jurisdiction,

Dennis says he doesn't trust me anymore,

Says he's gonna shoot a hostage

if he doesn't talk to Talley,

right now,

The name of the shooter

in the house is Mars,

You're gonna want to

run that through your database,

Your next question is:

How did I get that information?

The little boy in the house called me

on his sister's cell phone,

Chief?

Chief? You OK?

Go on back up top, kid,

Hey, Dennis, it's Jeff,

Everybody OK in there?

- We're buggin' in here, man,

- I know. I know. I'm trying to help.

Dennis, I really need

to talk to Walter Smith,

Smith's not talking,

Is Smith not talking

because you won't let him?

- Or is he not talking because he can't?

- It's not my fault.

I've hit people harder

and they haven't fallen!

I know. I understand.

You're under a lot of pressure in there,

But come on, man,

I just saved your life, and you know it,

All I'm asking

is that you help me save his life,

Come on,

He wants me to give up the old man,

Yeah, Yeah,

- It's your spin,

- Yeah, Good idea,

It's not a wise move,

We don't have enough information,

Look, I want to help,

But I am not gonna let you

do something that draws fire on my men,

You want to help me? Turn the lights off,

Get the bird out of here,

Please,

Mikey, I'm behind the command post,

Come on up here, will you?

I'm for breaking all the rules -

but one,

Now, Dennis already broke it off with me,

If you get shot, we are all...

I'm trying to save a life, Wil,

Yeah, Chief?

- Who we got on EMTs, Mike?

- There's, like, seven units,

- Names, Mikey, Names,

- OK, Uh...

There's Hoffman, there's Latona,

Ridley, Jackson...

Ridley, Get Ridley up here,

Tell him to strip,

- OK,

- You too,

Wait...

- Me too what?

- Strip, You're driving,

Sniper one to Control,

Ambulance is 20 yards from the gate,

No activity.

Oh, sh*t,

Come on,

He's MOl, Let's load and go,

- OK, On three, Ready?

- Yeah,

One, two...

Three,

Bang,

Come on,

Go, Mikey, go,

- Mike, stop right here,

- What, Chief?

Stop the goddamn ambulance!

- Everybody OK?

- Jeff, what are you doing?

- We're gonna wake him up,

- What?

We're gonna wake him up,

and you're gonna do it,

He's fixed and dilated,

He could have brain damage, for all I know,

- We're going to the hospital,

- Wake up,

- Hey, Jeff...

- Wake up, Smith,

- What the hell are you doing?

- Get your f***in' hands off me!

You want me to write this up? Do you?

- I'll put this in the report...

- Goddammit!

Give him the smelling salts,

Give him a shot of epinephrine,

I need him for one minute,

I gotta ask him one question,

He can't answer you!

Then just give him the drugs,

I am not gonna give this man a shot,

Jeff, Jeff!

Get your gun, then,

Get your gun and pull the trigger,

- Goddammit, I need your help!

- Do you want to kill him?

Go ahead, kill him,

Come on, Come on, That what you want?

I want your help, Bob,

No, Jeff, No,

What you're doing can kill this man,

F***,

What you've been seeing

is footage taken only minutes ago.

We're not yet sure exactly who

the rescued hostage is,

but it appears to be an adult male.

If our sources are correct,

it could be Walter Smith,

owner of the home...

Smith is on his way to the hospital,

Smith worries me.

He knows his place in the food chain,

He'll be good,

And so do we.

If we don't deliver that DVD,

we're going to need the accountant alive.

Now get somebody over there

and make sure we don't lose him,

Visiting hours are now over.

Triage,

Someone at the information booth

is asking for Walter Smith,

Hello?

I need to ask if you're

a member of the Smith family,

I'm sorry, but I'm only

permitted to inform you

that Mr, Smith was deceased on arrival,

and that all other inquiries

must be made tomorrow morning

through the county coroner's office,

If you'd like, I could give you the...

Hello?

Sh*t,

- You good?

- Hell, no, I'm not good, Jeff,

The man needs a hospital,

Damn, man, what the hell's going on?

It's not just his life you're saving,

Stay off the radio, You want to get

in touch with me, call me on my cell phone,

- What?

- Did I not say

nobody was to go in or out of the house?

Now Smith is dead.

What do you care if Smith's dead?

You said all you wanted was a DVD,

Dumb f***. You wait for my people

or I will cut your daughter's heart out.

F*** you,

Go ahead, Kill my family,

Kill me,

But before you do,

I'm gonna get in Smith's house,

I'm gonna box up

all that dead motherf***er's DVDs,

and you and the feds

can bid on 'em on eBay,

How's that, smart f***?

I guess we still need each other,

don't we?

Yeah,

I guess we do,

This isn't Los Angeles, Jeffrey.

You don't want another dead child

on your conscience.

Now we're almost home, you and me.

So keep your sh*t together.

Yeah,

You too,

F***,

Hey, We take the Benjamins,
