gave you my cell number. I know it.

I really don't know what

you're talking about.

Do you think I'm an idiot, huh?

You're going to tell me you

triangulated my cell phone number...

without knowing my TTY frequency

or even carrier for that matter?

Just admit it!

Jinx gave you my number.

You're only on the line because

it's the only move you've got.

You can't resolve the situation.

And worse yet, worse yet...

a civilian knows more about

what's going on then you do.

F*** you! F*** you! F*** you!

Under no circumstances...

am I authorized to disclose

that information.

But I'd be happy to exchange myself

for a safe hostage release.

Then we can discuss

this matter further.

- My God!

- What the hell was that?

Glock 19 semiautomatic.

That's not good.

- You can't.

- Oh, you're right.

Listen, listen.

Let's take this down

a few notches all right?

That get your attention, officer?

Listen, I hear you.

Now, I said...

I said tell me

who gave you this number!

If you want to see...

F***! Hold on.

We're holding.

We're holding.

No one's doing anything.

No, I mean hold on I got another

call coming in.

Hello.

- What the hell was that?

- That wake you up, did it?

You shut it. I'm the one asking

the questions here.

If you ever want inside

here and me out...

you're gonna tell me

what the hell that was.

That was a Glock...

Your phone just broke up on me.

I missed that last part.

Don't even start getting

attitude with me.

I happen to know exactly

what kind of gun that was.

I want to know what's going on.

That was me.

F***! I don't think that was me.

I think you've got a call coming in.

I do. Hold on. Hello.

We heard gun shots.

Is everyone all right?

Yeah, we're fine in here.

I don't know about outside.

I'm trying to find out.

What? Are you talking to Simon?

Yeah, he's on the other line.

Aren't you supposed to be

on the phone with Simon?

I am. I was. I'm on hold.

Hold on a second. I'll flash you in.

No, no, that's not a good idea.

- Simon, are you still there?

- Yeah, I'm here.

Great. Hold on.

- Hello.

- DeGepse here.

I think everyone's on the line.

Is everyone here?

- Here.

- I'm here.

All right. I think we should

all try to work together here.

And work on some issues, okay?

- I think that...

- I think we...

- I think that...

- I think we...

Come on guys.

Don't get shy now.

Simon, is there something

you wanted to say to the officer?

I'm sorry.

You see, Officer DeGepse,

Simon says he's sorry.

- Wait. I didn't mean...

- Simon, shut it.

Officer DeGepse, do you

accept Simon's apology?

- Officer Degepse?

- Yes?

Good, you see. Simon apologized

and the officer graciously accepts.

No. No.

Wait!

As long as we're making progress...

I say we move ahead

and release a few hostages...

just as a show of good faith.

I will gladly nominate myself just

to get the ball rolling.

What do you guys say?

Now wait just a second.

There's ways to do this.

No, I think it's a good idea.

I'm all for it.

Who is that?

I don't know. Aren't you on the phone

with everybody who's anybody around here?

- What does the Caller ID say?

- I don't have Caller ID.

Answer it. Wait, wait, wait.

Just a second.

Hello.

Hello? Is anybody there?

- Who is this?

- You're the one who called. Who is this?

Who was it?

I don't know. Wrong number, I guess.

Hello?

Hello?

Okay, he just hung up on me twice.

That's just rude.

Hello. Hello?

Are you still there?

Hey, guys, I'm gonna have

to call you back, okay?

Just keep chatting amongst yourselves.

So?

Hey, don't look at me.

All right, then.

Nick here. What's taking so long?

Hey, it's the guy you

keep hanging up on.

- Sh*t.

- So, your name's Nick, huh?

Maybe.

- Well, is it?

- No.

Oh, weird, total Deja v right now.

Never mind. So, uh. Are you

Jessica's boyfriend or something?

Look. I have no idea

what you're talking about.

You have the wrong number.

- You called me.

- Right, then.

Uh, I had the wrong number.

Sorry to trouble you. Bye.

Hey, stop calling me.

- No.

- What?

No. I said, no.

You can't just say no.

Yes, I can. No. You see?

No. No. No, no, no...

Who are you?

I'm glad you asked. Jason Taylor.

People call me Jinx.

So it seems like I've taken

the first step.

"I'm on a hunt down after you."

Nick. Nick Rhodes.

What's going on here? Who are you?

What do you know? How do you know?

What's the deal?

That's been my theme ever since

I locked myself in this fricking vault.

You? You're in the vault?

Yeah, that's what I said.

Am I getting bad cell reception?

I know a spot up in the corner

if you really want me to go up there.

Who are you?

Jinx. And I think we've covered that.

Who are you? Nick.

God!

What?

What?

He did it again.

I hate this guy.

If I see your men any closer

than twenty-five yards...

I'm putting holes in these

walking body bags.

I hear you. I hear you.

Excuse me, but I think you'd better

answer that. It could be Jinx.

Yeah, yeah, You're right. Hold on.

Hello, Jinx. How's it going?

I think we're making real

progress out here.

Hey, Jinxy. Is that you?

Is there anything you might want

to tell or say to me?

Anything to tell? Like an update?

Something like that.

Things are going fine. Just fine.

maybe a little bit behind schedule.

Anything in particular

slowing things up?

- Like?

- Some guy locking himself in the vault.

Who somehow has full knowledge

of our identities...

our cell numbers, and has

the ability to dial 911.

Handing you a first-class

pass to ass class...

in the federal penitentiary.

That sort of thing.

Okay, we do have

one small dilemma.

Quite similar to the one

you just described.

Is there anything else

you'd like to add?

Not really.

Okay, is there anything else you not

like to add, then that I should know?

Well, you know the guy you just,

you just described.

He's taken one of our people

hostage in the vault.

And uh... We're uh...

We're locked out with no way in.

Thank you.

I truly appreciate your candor.

And a tactical analysis?

What would that currently be?

- F***ed.

- Great.

Okay, let me get back

to you with a backup plan...

that should solve a few problems.

Really? That'd be great.

Maybe not.

- Hello.

- I want to make a deal.

A deal.

I do.

As I figure it, 50% of something is

a lot better than 100% of nothing.

Yeah... and?

And frankly, "nothing"

is all I've got right now.

So, what do you want?

What's it going to take?

You know what. Hold that thought.

I'll be right back.

- Hello.

- I want to make a deal.

Come again?

I think we may have gotten

off on the wrong foot.

I'd like to start over

and introduce myself. I'm Nick.

I'm calling to

cut you in on this thing.

So a deal, okay.

So what's the deal with a deal, Nick?

It is "Nick," isn't it?

I apologize for the pseudonym.

It's not that I don't trust you,

it's just sort of an occupational hazard.

Oh yeah, I...

I understand. I get it.

It's not like my name's
