Go.
Lay off! l'll go.
You got a real smart
little girl here.
Leave her alone.
Come on, old man.
lt's about time l talked
to those cops.
Max, give me
that mask and jacket.
Okay.
Rick, they're ready.
We should be waiting
for the ATF to get here.
We're getting
people out, Mr. Duca.
That's what he'll
be doing also.
There are a dozen cops
out there with guns.
l'll be fine.
Get those cops away from the door!
No cops on us!
Fall back.
Fall back.
Bishop! Fall back.
No shooting!
No shooting, you understand?
They're coming out.
Give the word,
l can get a clean shot.
We got two more inside.
Any shooting, they start
executing hostages, you understand me?
l understand.
We don't want anyone
else getting hurt.
Well, that's right
honorable of you.
l've got a clean shot.
- Just give the order.
- Stay ready, do not fire.
How many folks you
got in there?
Hey, l'm doing the talking
right now, so you just shut the f*** up.
You tell that sniper
to raise his rifle.
l don't want
no rifles on me.
Don't do it, Rick.
Don't let him control
the situation.
l can take him down
right now.
Sniper, stand down.
Raise your rifle.
Sniper, raise your rifle.
Stand down.
And these pigs!
Tell them to put their guns down!
That's as far
as it goes.
You a tough guy, huh?
Just keeping
the field even.
Oh, keeping
the field even, huh?
l like that, yeah,
keeping the field even.
l got seven hostages
keeping the field even, a**hole!
l'm not following you.
You don't make
the rules anymore, man!
You cut the power,
You send in tear gas,
You try any f***ing thing, l start
blowing their goddamn brains out.
lt's real simple
to understand.
- Look, we can work this--
- F*** you!
Where's the plane
and where's the van?
We're working on it.
The plane, that is.
We're trying to get you a plane.
You got till sundown,
a**hole!
l don't get what
l want by sundown,
one an hour.
- You understand me?
- Yes, l understand.
l don't think
l believe you, man.
Do you know what
l will do to these people?
Yes, l understand.
All right,
back up.
Wait.
What about
this hostage?
Come on.
Give him to me
as a sign of good faith.
Thanks.
lt goes a long way.
- Hold your fire!
- Shoot him!
- Hold your fire!
- Shoot that son of a b*tch!
Somebody get that radio

- Shoot him, shoot him! God damn it!
- F*** you!
- F*** you!
- Shut up!
- God damn!
- You showed 'em.
F***in' pansy.
Don't be showing me what to do.
l'll tell them what to do.
F*** them!
- l think they got the message.
- You think?
That guy-- that guy's chest--
Hey. Hey!
You didn't need
to f***in' shoot him.
What'd you say?
You didn't have
to f***ing shoot him.
Oh see, yeah--
yeah, l did.
'Cause see,
l can't let nobody
know our little
secret here.
Can l?
At least not yet.
You could have just
brought him back in.
No, l had to make him
the lesson!
You f***in' bastard.
Just let me f***in'
shoot her, Karl.
- Let me do it, man!
- l'm sick and tired
of your f***ing mouth.
The next time you mouth off to me,
l will let him shoot you.
l swear to God.
Hey.
Hey, l bet we're
on the news.
Hey, go turn on
that TV, come on.
Come on, come on!
Get over there.
Channel 3 News
has confirmed that
the hostage crisis
at the Desert Wind Cafe...
l don't like this.
Duca's gonna turn this
into a media frenzy.
They're gonna turn this
around on us, you know?
They always do.
You okay?
l shouldn't have
trusted him.
Hey Rick, don't make
that your fault.
You did a great job.
The guy's a psycho.
lt would have ended
badly no matter what.
Yeah well, he's running
the show now.
Hi, Ann Nobel,
lnternational News.
Sir? We heard gunfire.
Ladies and gentlemen, we have a very
serious situation occurring.
l need to make
my statements brief,
and then l'll hand it
over to Mr. Duca
and he'll speak
for a while.
- Mr. Duca--
- At 9:
00 a.m. this morning,the payroll offices
of Duca Enterprises.
They're considered
extremely dangerous,
and have stolen an undetermined
amount of money.
- Sir? We heard gunfire--
- Ladies and gentlemen,
as Duca Enterprises is
the town's largest employer,
we are keeping Mr. Duca involved through
every step of this process.
ln the meantime,
Mr. Duca.
Mr. Duca, what do you say
about your hostages?
Well, the ATF guy is here.
He's waiting for you
in the command center.
- Thanks.
- You're gonna love this guy.
Why?
You'll see.
He's a f***in'
piece of work.
You must be Devlin.
Agent Lind.
You got here fast.
Well, l would have
been here a lot sooner
but l was working
on another situation up north.
This is
Detective Pulliam.
Hi.
Yeah.
Tough break about
that hostage,
but, uh,
sh*t happens, l guess.
l'm here to straighten
everything out.
What are your plans?
Well, l'm gonna get
a conversation going.
l've got an officer
on the inside.
l'll try to get him
on the phone.
You mind telling us how
your officer got in there?
Oh, thank you.
Well...
we've been tracking this little group
for about a year now.
They've been peddling guns and drugs
to a couple of different outfits
and we heard about
their plans for the robbery,
but it wasn't supposed to be
till the end of the month.
We were gonna have
officers on the inside, but...
l don't know.
Something went wrong.
Just...
didn't work out.
Well, maybe
your guy turned?
Okay.
Listen,
l'm assuming command
- Oh yeah?
- Yeah.
Assuming command? We were told you
were coming in to negotiate this.
Well, l guess you
heard wrong, honey,
'cause, like l said,
l've got an officer
on the inside,
and that gives me all
the authority that l need
to take over
this little rodeo.
Well,
the man has
nice boots.
For those of you
just joining us,
three unnamed assailants
have taken the patrons
of the Desert Wind
Cafe hostage
following the morning robbery
of Duca Enterprises payroll...
Why'd you do this?
Hmm?
For her.
My ex is an abusive prick.
When l left him,
he took custody
of my daughter,
and, um, took her
to France
and wouldn't even
let me talk to her.
What does stealing money
have to do with your ex?
my daughter Gabrielle.
l need the money
to get her back.
Yeah well, l don't think that's gonna
be happening now.
- Why?
- What?
Why'd you lose your daughter
in the first place?
He had lots of connections
and lots of money.
lt really wasn't that hard for him
to take Gabrielle away from us.
No, the government doesn't
let you just take a child
and move them
to another country
without permission
from both parents.
They do when you
have money.
Hello?
This is Agent Lind
with the ATF.
Am l speaking
with Sam?
Where the f***
is Rick?
Well...
l'm taking over
dealing with your...
demands.
And...
we just need
to talk--
l don't want to talk to you, man.
