Just call back

in half an hour.

What the f*** are you doing?

Why'd you hang up on him?

l didn't know

what to do.

l mean,

they want hostages.

- You want to give 'em hostages?

- F*** no!

l can't let any

of 'em go yet.

Well, they want

some of these people.

Why don't you just shut the f*** up

and get out of here?

So do we have a plan?

Hey, is that

coffee ready?

Yeah, it's ready.

Well, go on,

start pouring some coffee.

Karl?

Karl?

Hey, who wants coffee?

Coffee?

- Karl?

- Who wants-- you want coffee?

- Karl...

- Coffee?

- Karl!

- Somebody's got to want coffee.

- Karl.

- What?!

Do we have a plan?

Yeah, l got a plan.

Get the f*** out there.

Christ.

ls she gonna make it?

She'll be okay.

l don't get you,

Mary Jane--

helping her.

We wouldn't be in this mess

if it wasn't for them.

l can't just let her

lie here and die.

l'm sorry.

How you doing, Jenny?

l wanna go home.

l know, sweetie.

And we will. We're gonna

go home soon, l promise.

Yeah, l wouldn't be

too sure about that one.

What do you mean?

Do you know who

these guys are?

No, l never

saw 'em before.

Karl Schroeder

and Max Reichman.

They call themselves

the ''Blood Brothers.''

They're into everything--

drugs, murder,

human trafficking.

l mean, they pretty much

do anything.

l used to work

for Karl's brother.

l only met them once.

But l mean,

some pretty mean

bastards.

That's enough.

You'll scare the girl.

No, he's not.

Mom says you can trust

a man by his eyes.

He's a good man.

You can see it.

He'll stop them.

Shh shh shh.

Hi.

Hey.

l saved something

for you.

Gabrielle.

Sam.

You got

to lie down, okay?

Come on, lie back down,

sweetie.

Lie down.

- Lascar.

- Hey.

- Catherine.

- Hey.

Thanks for getting

here so quick.

So...

What do you want me

working on?

l want you to look

at a surveillance video,

find out

what they took.

Right.

Where can l set up?

- Back there.

- Okay.

Uh, Rick?

Sh*t.

Rick, sorry to interrupt.

You know Captain Burleson.

l believe you know Duca.

Devlin.

- Good to see you again.

- Captain.

We got things

under control.

lt looks like it.

News is around the corner

acting like a pack

of hungry wolves.

They want to know

what's happening.

But first, l'd like

to know what's happening.

Right now, l don't think

you should be involved, Mr. Duca.

- lf you'll take a seat--

- Honey, l'm not going anywhere

until l know l have

my money back.

And you all know l have

a lot of powerful friends.

We're aware of that, Mr. Duca, but for

now, why don't you go park it?

For now he stays.

Keep him involved

just like the rest

of us. Got it?

So have they made

any demands?

Nothing yet.

They're scared.

They're trying to

decide what to do.

What do you

have in mind?

Bring a tactical team

together to hit the cafe.

ln the storeroom

there's a trapdoor

that leads

to a drainage pipe.

We're placing two men

in position right there.

Those pipes haven't

been used in years.

l'm gonna send two men up the pipe

while we hit the front with tear gas.

They'll never see our guys

coming from the back.

l'm against

this plan entirely.

- lt's not your call.

- But it is mine. You can't do it.

But it's the best option.

lt'll work!

l know it'll work,

but you can't do it.

The ATF is sending

in a hostage negotiator.

The ATF?

They don't have

jurisdiction on this.

Yeah, we got everything

under control.

There's a dead man in the street

, and gunshots from inside.

Sounds like some control.

Captain, they have

no right.

The ATF are trained in this type

of negotiation.

They requested that one of their agents

be sent in to deal with it.

Oh, but this is crazy.

l mean, we're trained

for hostage negotiations.

Yeah, right.

Why did they request

an agent come up here?

What are you

not telling us?

One of the robbers is

an undercover agent.

F***.

Why aren't they calling?

They're planning.

Just give 'em a few minutes,

they'll call back.

- Huh-uh.

- No thing.

l just wanted to see

if you guys had a plan.

l got a plan.

Sure you're not making

it up as you go?

Hey.

l had a plan the moment

you three walked in the door.

So why don't you just

shut the f*** up and go sit down?

Dude, you don't

remember me, do you?

No.

Come on, man.

l used to run with

your brother down south?

Yeah, that's right,

he was picked up for arms dealing.

No, actually, it was narcotics.

That's what l heard.

He was working

for Octavian.

That's right.

lt was Octavian.

The son of a b*tch

set him up too.

What'd you do

for him?

Collections.

lf somebody didn't pay on time,

l'd park a car in their living room.

That was you?

- Sh*t, l remember that.

- Yeah yeah yeah,

and l also remember he

kicked your ass to the wind,

ain't that right?

That's right.

What do you want me

to tell 'em?

All right, you want

your van back...

...and a six-seater plane,

gassed up and ready to go.

Okay.

Hello?

Sam?

lt's Detective...

just call me Rick.

How are things

going in there?

Pretty good

at the moment.

Good good.

Have you thought about

how to handle this?

Listen,

we're gonna want

the van back and fueled,

and we want a six-seater plane waiting

for us at the airport.

A plane?

Sounds like you're

planning on running.

Yeah, you could

say that.

That's a bad idea, Sam.

Maybe l should be

discussing this with your partners?

Listen, l'm gonna do

all the talking for now.

How many others

are in there, Sam?

What about the van

and the plane?

Well, the plane's

a tall order to fill.

So l'm gonna need

something from you in exchange.

You need

something from me?

Yeah.

l'm gonna need

some hostages, Sam.

Just hold on

for a second, okay?

Can you hear what

they're saying?

He's talking to someone.

- Are you there?

- Yeah.

Sorry, man, no deal. No hostages

until we have everything, okay?

l can't do that, Sam.

l need to have

some hostages.

At least send

the women out.

Show me you're serious about doing

this peacefully.

F***-- what the f***, man?

- l said l can't.

- You've got to.

Sam, we're gonna turn

the power off in there

and it's gonna get

awfully hot, okay?

So l'll tell you what,

give me some hostages

and l will leave

the AC on.

l don't know

what to do.

F*** it, l'll check.

What the f*** you

mean you'll check?

You're in charge, a**hole.

Remember?

Jesus!

Look, you f*** up

like that again,

hmm?

l'm gonna put another

bullet in your girlfriend.

You hear me?

Now what did

they say?

They said that they want

to turn the power off

and they want a hostage

as a sign of good faith

and they'll give you

what you want.

- Oh really?

- Yeah.

What, they're

in charge now, huh?

They making the rules?

F*** that.

What's your name,

old man?

Harold.

Well, Harold,

looks like

you're going home.

No no no,

take somebody else.

Let the girl go.

No!

Don't hurt him!

Get away from my baby.

Shut the f*** up.

All right,

l'll go, l'll go.

Just don't hurt him.
