with all of that money.

He has a gun, doesn't he?

- Pam?

- Jeremy.

Are you okay?

You said you couldn't call.

- Are you at the bank?

- Yeah. Hey, look, Cassie's not here.

- Didn't you get my text?

- No, I had to turn it off when I came in here.

You had to be the one to save the day.

I'm not to be a hero, okay?

I'm trying to save our daughter.

Now he's nearly killed her.

He wants you to bring the money

to 643 Hawthorne Street. Alone.

He says he's gonna give you Cassie

in exchange for the money.

Jeremy he is not

screwing around anymore.

I know. You get it...

Hey, I love you, okay?

Just go get Cassie back.

You're not gonna like it.

I haven't liked anything

you've done all f***ing day.

Are you gonna back me up on this?

- Yeah.

- Good.

Everybody...

on the floor. Now!

You!

Are you the manager?

Come with me.

I must applaud your efforts.

I thought you're going to use desperation,

but guilt is a much stronger motivator.

What do you care?

I'm just a pawn in your game.

You know, the funny thing

about pawns and games, Pam,

the king is usually miserable.

Too many things to do,

too many consequences to weigh,

too many people depending upon him,

and too many people

plotting against him.

Count your blessings, Pam.

Not every one has what you have.

- What are you doing?

- I don't care what he says.

We're not going there without backup.

The dispatch is compromised.

Stanton, this is Howard.

Listen, I need a big favor.

You got to call in every man you can.

Have them meet us half a block

south 643 Hawthorne street.

Stay out of view of the building.

No, don't use the radio

to organize this.

- Is he gonna do it?

- Yeah.

Excellent.

What do you think we got back there?

Two, three million?

Probably more like four.

Could buy a beautiful house with that.

Tempting, isn't it?

They got my daughter, Howard.

I hope Jeremy follows

his instructions this time,

because this is your last chance

to see your daughter.

He will.

That's what you said last time.

That was just a miscommunication.

It's not gonna happen again.

I'm gonna have to let you go.

- What about our deal?

- I'll still be listening and watching.

So see to it that there are no surprises

and that this transaction with your

husband is completed as promised.

Stanton.

- What's going on?

- A ransom.

- There's money in there?

- They've got his kid.

Let's just keep our eye

on the prize, okay?

I go in, give them the money,

- get my daughter back.

- Shouldn't we set up a perimeter?

This guy was one step ahead of us

all day. He sees you, she dies.

- I don't like this.

- Now, this is my daughter!

We haven't scouted the location,

we don't have a perimeter,

and you got us working this off the book.

Why isn't the captain involved in it?

We have a compromised dispatch,

one police officer's been killed.

We don't know who we can trust anymore.

Let me go in there,

get my daughter to a safe zone.

You can take it from there

and handle it how you want.

I'm just asking you to wait here.

You good?

911, what's your emergency?

Hello, are you really there?

Yes, ma'am, this is 911 dispatch.

What is your emergency?

Bank robbery,

there's a bank robbery happening.

Ma'am, calm down. The police are aware

of the robbery, it's been dealt with.

No, you don't understand,

it's happening right now.

- Two guys with guns are holding us hostage.

- Ma'am, that's impossible.

Listen, you b*tch, I've been trying

to get through for the last 40 minutes.

They're taking everything.

I'm at Georgia National Bank,

228 Crenshaw Blvd.

- Excuse me, where did you say you were?

- Georgia National, 228 Crenshaw Blvd.

But that's... that's impossible!

Sorry? Are you listening to me?

911, what is your emergency?

Two men have taken over

Georgia National Bank.

- What's your location?

- 1462 Farragut Drive.

- 911, what is your emergency?

- We've got a bank robbery.

- Which bank?

- Georgia National 4658 Coakley Street.

This is 670 to SWAT. No one's here.

I repeat, no one's here.

What do you have?

Foot prints up top.

They cleared out, man.

- Is that sure?

- Yeah, ten-four.

- He knows the protocol.

- Thanks again, man.

- Pam?

- Jer... it's not...

I can't hear you. Baby?

Cassie's gone, okay?

He's playing us again.

I know...

No, look, baby, I can't hear you.

Hang on, hang on.

Pam.

- Pam, you hear me?

- Don't...

Jesus Christ.

- Pam!

- Don't go in.

What are you talking about?

No one's here. Cassie's not here.

It's a trap. He's not hitting one

of the banks. He's hitting all of them.

They're all getting taken right now.

Sh*t! Get out of here!

Jeremy?

Jeremy!

Jeremy, can you hear me?

- Do I have your attention now?

- Why?

- He did everything you asked him to do.

- Because he didn't come alone.

You know how it makes me feel, Pam?

It makes me feel

like you think I'm a pawn.

Like you think this is all a game

- and that you are the chess master.

- I told him to go alone.

They called in for SWAT team

to back them up. I counted 20 of them.

- 20?

- 21 casualties...

- if you include our officer Jeremy.

- You're gonna burn in hell for this.

Careful, Pam.

You still have a job to do.

What the hell makes you think I'm

gonna do anything you ask me to do?

Because I'll blow your kid's

f***ing head off if you don't.

It's your job to remain calm, not mine.

I suggest you compose yourself unless you

want to lose a second family member.

Pam... are you okay?

Yeah, I'm fine.

That's right.

Because I still need you, Pam.

My accomplice.

I couldn't have done this without you.

You're the one who sent officer Jeremy

and his partner to those scenes

before the crimes happened.

And you're the one who told them

to take the money from the bank.

And you're the one who sent

those officers to their death.

And now, the only one who can

corroborate your story is dead.

I never would have helped you.

You threatened my daughter.

Fear is what drives mankind

to his greatest accomplishments.

Only someone with the nerves to overcome

his fear can scale the highest mountain...

when a lesser man wouldn't dare.

Or rob ten banks simultaneously.

No doubt you've figured it out by now.

It's a shame you didn't figure it out

in time to save Jeremy.

Tell me...

are you still afraid?

- What should I do?

- One more crime to report.

Call in a hostage situation

at 1296 Faulkner Blvd.

The Emergency Dispatch Center.

Who's taking the hostages?

You are. Convince them, Pam.

Radio to all available units.

This is dispatch operator Pamela Miller.

I've taken the Dispatch Center

of Faulkner Blvd. under my control.

And I have a number of hostages.

I am the criminal behind the events

that took the lives of two civilians

and a number of police officers.

As many of you know,

my husband, officer Jeremy Miller

used to be a state police detective

before being demoted.

He was so dedicated to his job that he put

the safety of our daughter in jeopardy.
