Operator Page #4

Synopsis: When the daughter of veteran 911 call center operator Pamela (Mischa Barton), and her estranged husband Jeremy (Luke Goss), a Senior Police Officer, are kidnapped and held hostage, they are left desperate, with no choice but to follow the kidnapper's rules: send messages through dispatch for all police and fire units to scatter to remote locations throughout the city where they are met with chaos. Not knowing who or why, the one thing they do know is if they fail to discreetly collaborate with one another - they will be solely responsible for facilitating the biggest crime in the city's history. Now they must race against the clock to make the choice of their lives - save the city - or save their daughter.

- She had a point.

- What the hell is this?

- I'll take the back.

- Copy.

Is anyone in here? Anyone?

Anyone here?

670, Radio, we have a signal 33

at 12 Westmont, Code 3.

Anyone here? Police officer!

Police officer. Anyone need help?

Hey, wait, wait, wait! We have

a possible 10-70 heading eastbound.

Where's my daughter?

My daughter, where is she?

The hell are talking about, b*tch?

- I ain't got no kid.

- You've been targeting cops all day. Why?

What are you talking about?

You're the first I seen all day.

Okay. What were you doing here?

Somebody paid me. I... Somebody

paid me. I don't know his name.

I was supposed to be there

an hour before,

set fire to the place and make it

look like an accident, okay.

But it took too long and you...

You caught up with me.

- Look, I swear, I...

- Shut up! Just shut up!

What'd he look like?

I don't know. Normal. White guy.

Look, he may be on the streets. Today's

the first day I met him, okay? Now just...

- What are you doing?

- I thought he had your gun.

You're a police officer.

How're you gonna explain this?

- 670. 670, Radio.

- Go for Radio.

I have a suspect down on code 33.

Requesting fire and the EMT to location.

Jesus Christ, Howard,

you can't just shoot a suspect.

What do you think?

The poor kid was just a pawn.

Had no idea what he was into.

$10,000 is a lot of money

for this kind of job.

Somebody wanted them pretty bad?

- Georgia National.

- What?

Couldn't be.

Hey, Howard. Howard.

- Do you have a second?

- Yeah.

Here, take a look at this.

That doesn't make any sense.

What are you talking about?

It makes perfect sense.

That untraceable call case

I told you about,

six of the same bank branches

were hit by the those numbers.

When they torched my house, all the

security files of the bank were in my home.

Coincidence? You know what I think?

Same people behind it.

It's all sh*t all along.

Jeremy. Jeremy, take a breath.

Take a breath.

This is too close to home for you,

I know they got your daughter but listen,

everything we've done today

we can answer for, but this...

dispatch hasn't sent us,

and we don't have probable cause.

We're talking about my daughter here.

She's seen their faces.

You think they're gonna let her go?

But you don't even know

if she's gonna be there.

You've convinced yourself she's there,

'cause you want to be the one who saves her.

You don't know that

and if you're wrong, she's dead.

Send your officers

to 3814 Willow Street.

- What's the crime?

- A shooting, suspected. A gang activity.

Can't I send someone else?

They've got their hands full.

Do as you're told.

Oh, yeah, they'll kill her. As soon

as they won't need her for leverage.

- As long as we do what he says...

- Radio to 2670.

- ...she's gonna be fine.

- Okay. Go for Radio.

I've got a report for code 25

at 3814 Willow Street.

Possible gang related.

Are you available to check it out?

Let's take it, let's take it

and let's play along.

Ten-four. En route.

Hey, Howard, I'll drive.

Anarchy, chaos.

Haven't you ever wondered what would happen

if the safety parameters

that society puts in place for us

were simply removed?

What if you called 911...

and no one answered?

Then a lot of innocent people would die.

Of course you'd say that,

but you're not talking about safety,

you're talking about shackles.

Don't you see you can't force

a person to do anything?

You'd have to get them to buy into a system,

but every system has an organizer,

a person who wields control.

And what about those people

you killed today?

I didn't say no one would die.

Simply that I would return man

to its true nature.

At the end of the day you're no more

special than the hundreds of criminals

this office deals with.

I think you're just too weak

to fit into your so-called system.

Well, then it seems

you've figured me out.

I'm impressed.

What are you doing?

Willow Street is to the south.

We're not going to Willow,

we're going to the bank.

You're out of your mind? What's gonna happen

when we don't show up at the other location?

He knows we're going to Willow, right?

By the time we get to the bank,

we'll be too late.

You don't know how many people could be

there. We could be walking into an ambush.

If you don't want to do this, don't want

to back me up... she's not your daughter.

It's my wife. If I'm gonna die today, I want

to tell her I love her one more time.

- They should have been there by now.

- Maybe they hit some traffic.

I don't think they're going

where I told them to?

- You heard them on the call.

- You lied.

And it's created a serious

f***ing problem for me.

I can fix it.

I can fix it, let me fix it.

Such an adorable girl! Perhaps she'll be

more adorable if she's a lifeless corpse.

I'll do anything you want me to do.

What do you want me to do?

Convince them, Pam.

Convince them to go to Willow Street,

or you'll watch

her goddamn head under water.

- Do it now!

- Mommy! Help!

2670, confirm you are en route

to Willow Street.

ETA approximately three minutes.

Hurry!

Turn these off.

- Anything?

- I can't see sh*t.

- Do you want to go on the other side?

- I'll radio you when I'm in place.

Go.

Where the hell are they?

Ready for this?

I'm in position.

Go!

Police!

No! No!

Please! No! No!

Who hired you? Where's my daughter?

Who're you talking about?

- Who hired you?

- I ain't telling you sh*t.

Don't come any closer.

I'll blow this b*tch's brains out.

Let her go. Put the weapon down.

You have no idea

what's going on here, do you?

I will take the shot.

Let her go. It's the only way

you can walk out of here.

Put it down! You didn't

sign up for this. Put it down!

Put it down. Put it down.

Good. Drop it!

Dead.

Great.

- I had the shot.

- Yeah, I see that.

Also, the only person who

might have known where she is.

F***, Howard.

Where are you going?

She's not here.

- They went to the Bank, didn't they?

- What the hell are you talking about?

You like doing things your own way?

Well, it's time you learn

the consequences.

Hey, come on.

Okay? Okay? Alright? Alright?

Come on. Here you go.

You've done this before, right?

Alright, the EMT's

will be here any second.

I was foolish to believe a cop would be

competent enough to follow simple commands.

So, no more games, no more crimes

reported over dispatch.

Tell officer Jeremy to get the money

that my men were taking from the bank

and meet me at 643 Hawthorne.

I repeat, 643 Hawthorne Street.

Tell him to come alone.

It will be a civil exchange.

He gives me the cash money,

I give him Cassie.

- Let me see my daughter.

- I make the rules.

No. If you want me to cooperate,

then let me see her.

Next time you fail to cooperate, she goes

all the way under. You understand?

How am I supposed to deliver

a message if I can't use the radio?

Why don't you use that cell phone

you've been texting him with all day?

He can't just walk out of there
