Inside Man Page #4

- Okay.

- I can go?

- No.

- No?

- No, you got to stay.

- You got to stay.

- No, you can go.

No, stay. No, go.

Did you rob the bank?

- You did.

- Did you rob the bank?

- No.

- You sure?

There's movement at the front door.

- Let's go.

Put down the f***ing weapon!

Don't shoot! Don't shoot!

Don't move! Don't move!

He's got a device on him there.

I said put your hands on your head

and get down on your f***ing knees!

I said put your hands on your head

and down on your knees now!

Hands are tied!

Hands are tied.

- Jesus, pat him down.

- All right.

I'm one of the hostages!

- Careful.

Easy, be very careful,

now. Easy.

I can't see him from where I'm at.

I can see him. I got a clear shot.

Any weapons?

- Who are you?

- Vikram Walia. I work in the bank.

Okay. Vikram? Is this a bomb?

- Oh, sh*t! A f***ing Arab!

- What? No. I'm a Sikh!

- Is that a bomb?

- No.

- Answer me, Vikram. Is this a bomb?

- No.

- Are you booby-trapped?

- No, f***, no.

Okay, Vikram, I need you to relax.

- Jesus, give me a hand.

- I don't know.

Just watch.

There's a lot of movement in that bank.

- Team, take him down.

- Mike, now, get him.

What the f***? Easy, easy.

Get off my... That's my turban. Get off. Easy.

Get... My turban!

Look, f***, give my turban back!

Come on, shut up. Relax.

What the f*** are you doing?

Give me my turban back.

- You can't f***ing rip my turban.

- Shut up, already.

- What the f***?

- Come on, move it.

Get your f***ing hands off me!

And the 11:
00 and 12:00...

And don't forget about your 1:00

with Chancellor Joel Klein.

- Oh, Madge. What a day...

- Your Honour.

Madeleine! How are you?

I'm just fine, but thank you for seeing me

on such short notice.

- Sure. Madge, are we through here?

- Yes, Mr Mayor.

This way, Miss White.

I always have time to put on a tux

and eat free food for a good cause.

Who are we saving this week?

Well, I'm doing a round of support

for the Joseph Freidkin Memorial Fund

for Spinal Cord Research

and we're having

our annual fundraiser next month.

If you could attend,

it would give us such a boost.

It would be my pleasure.

Is there anything else I can do to...

- What the f*** do you want?

- A favour.

- No sh*t. Which kind?

- The last one I'll ever ask of you.

That's the kind I had in mind.

You know about this hostage situation.

On my way. What's it to do with you?

All right, well, I need to keep an eye on it.

So, I want you to bring me down there

and tell whoever's in charge

to extend me every courtesy.

You're out of your f***ing mind.

If it was easy,

it wouldn't square us, would it?

- It's impossible.

- Nothing's impossible.

You just have to call in a few markers,

that's all.

I may have to give out a few.

Then that's exactly what you'll do.

You're a magnificent c*nt.

Thank you.

It's been a very tense situation

for several hours now.

It's unclear how many hostages are inside

and how many robbers

police are dealing with.

Officials say this all started out

as a robbery at Manhattan Trust,

but has turned into this hostage situation.

Negotiators are here on the scene,

working very hard

and it's still unclear

on any possible injuries.

Of course, we'll keep you up to date

with the very latest

and we will remain here on the scene

as this all unfolds.

That's the latest from here

in lower Manhattan.

Reporting live, I'm Sandra Endo.

Back to you.

"Protect and serve" my ass.

Where's my turban?

I'm not talking to anybody without a turban.

It's part of my religion, to cover my head

in respect to God. I'm a Sikh.

Okay, we'll find your turban.

Not an Arab, by the way,

like your cops called me outside.

Now, no, I don't think you heard that.

There was a lot going on.

You were probably disoriented.

- I didn't hear that.

- I heard what I heard.

I'll give you all the information you want.

I don't need this. I need my turban.

It's part of my religion.

- We'll get you your turban.

- We'll find it for you.

No, no, no. Not "get me. "

I want my turban now.

You just got to start thinking

about the people inside the bank now.

It's a dangerous situation.

You got to start telling us

about what's going on inside the bank.

We can talk about this later.

We'll get an officer to come down.

You can write a formal complaint.

But for now,

we got to deal with this situation.

First you beat me,

and now you want my help.

You need to start thinking

about your coworkers.

I could apologise on behalf of the NYPD,

but that was not us. We are detectives.

- We're gonna try and find out...

- What do you want to know?

- How many were there?

- I think there were about four.

- How many hostages?

- I don't know how many hostages, 20, 30.

I'm f***ing tired of this sh*t.

What happened to my f***ing civil rights?

Why can't I go anywhere

without being harassed?

I get thrown out of a bank.

I'm a hostage. I get harassed.

I go to the airport.

I can't go through security

without a "random" selection.

F***ing random, my ass.

I nearly lost my job...

I bet you can get a cab, though.

I guess that's one of the perks.

Put the ice on your face.

"Two buses with full gas tanks.

One jumbo jet with full gas tank

"and pilots at JFK,

parked at the end of runway. "

They give us until 9.:00 pm to do this,

then they kill one hostage every hour

in front of TV cameras.

"Bank is secured with Semtex.

We will demonstrate if necessary. "

- Whatever you do, don't give them a jet.

- There's no plane. Maybe a bus. Maybe.

Till I talk to them, they get nothing.

Not even a cup of coffee.

For now, we wait.

Let's let them wonder

what we're doing, okay?

Excuse me, Detectives. This is Arthur Case.

- He's the...

- I'm Chairman, Board of Directors.

- Of the bank. You wanna talk to him?

- Absolutely.

Mr Case, how are you?

I'm Detective Frazier.

Anything in particular

you think we should know?

No. I just wondered

if I might be of some assistance.

- Have they made any demands?

- They want a jet.

Oh, I see.

Would you like me to arrange one for you?

I'm so sorry. I must have misunderstood.

That's quite all right, Mr Case.

Where can we reach you

if we need anything?

Well, those are my people in there,

you know,

and I would like to stay here for a while.

And I won't disturb you.

I'll be very quiet right down...

Sergeant Collins!

Mr Case, we'll try and keep you posted

as best we can,

but you're gonna have to excuse us

for now, okay?

Right this way, sir.

Thank you very much.

- Absolutely.

- This way, sir.

Thank you very much.

- And thank you all so much.

- Thank you.

- You're welcome.

This way, sir.

"Fifty hungry people need food now. "

All right.

Are we ready with the listening devices?

I'm gonna need 15 minutes

once we get the food.

Pizza's the best. No sandwiches.

Is she for real?

Are you for real?

Well, if we send in, say,

maybe we'll get some conversation

if we give them something to group around.

Give them each a sandwich, it's hit or miss.
