...so damn fast...

...the police force, even the

NSA, would be...

...completely useless.

You listen to me. There's...

...no way anybody could have

known what was gonna happen.

No way. No one could have

foreseen these guys snapping...

...and doing something so tragic.

Give it some time. You may

just change your mind.

I don't give a damn

if you believe us or not.

Something far greater...

...is going on here today

and I will do whatever it takes...

...to stop it.

Whatever it takes.

You're not alone in this house.

I'm gonna be honest with you, hero.

We haven't got time

for negotiations.

You're just one small

piece of the puzzle.

So, I'm gonna ask you one

last time, enter the password.

No. I'm done risking

people's lives.

Okay.

What do you think you're

doing here?

What are you...

- I don't want to hurt you.

You touch my daughter, you

better be prepared to kill me.

Answer the f..king password

already.

Who the f..k is that?

- It's Henry. Relax.

- Who the f..k is Henry?

He's here to pick me up.

- What the f..k do we do?

- Let me think.

- What do we do, Kyle?

- I'm thinking.

I thought you came prepared

for everything.

Get up. Get rid of him.

By the way,

if he suspects anything...

...he's dead because of you.

All right. Go!

Hi, sir. Hope I'm not too early.

First things first, Henry.

Didn't I ask you to call me Jake?

Sir...

I went to military school...

...and I was taught way more

respect for rank to do that.

I can see that, Henry. I

can see that. Listen here, kid...

...I, my daughter...

...she brought me home

the flu, Henry.

She wasn't only contagious...

...but she was very, very generous

and I'm not sure...

...whether I want to return the

favor to the precinct...

...you understand?

Okay. Should I get you

some medication from the store?

No. It's okay, Henry. It's fine.

I just need a couple days...

...rest is all.

- Sir, don't say that.

My girlfriend is one of those

believers in not using any drugs.

Well, pharmacy drugs of course, and

she can stay sick for weeks...

...and I watched one of those

doctor shows and some viruses...

...can just kill you...

Are you sure? I can be quick,

can go grab it and I'll be...

...back in f..king two minutes

tops. Are you sure?

I'm sure, Henry. Thank you.

I'm sure. And you know what?

Actually, I apologize.

I should have let you know.

I should've given you a call.

- It's no problem, sir.

I hope you get everything solved

with your wife. Well, ex-wife.

When my parents divorced

it was pretty messy.

I mean, it's not unusual for

ex-life partners to get along...

...with each other afterward,

especially with a child...

...in the middle. And I mean,

you have a daughter and all...

Stop! Stop, stop, listen to

me, Henry, please, just...

...do yourself a favor, go to work

and stay away from the...

...coffee machine, okay?

- Yes, sir...

Sorry, I kinda talk too much

when...

Well, anyway, have a good day, sir.

Okay.

Just walk away, kid.

Walk away.

What the f..k was he doing

here?

C'mon, guys, just relax.

My wife's car broke down.

Henry came to pick me up.

It's called divorce.

Watch your mouth, smartass.

You did good, Jake.

Did I have a choice?

We've wasted enough time

here. Let's get back to work...

...shall we?

Again, what are we doing here?

Jess said she had some info

for us.

Any chance she picked the spot?

Yep. I'm gonna go

check it out.

Please.

You okay?

I'm fine. How's our guest?

He's fine. He's not going

anywhere.

Just keep an eye on him.

And find that profile.

- Gimme a second to catch...

...my breath, okay?

That was a f..king close call.

We can't expect

everything to go as planned.

The key is to just a keep a

handle on things and make sure...

...we do what we came to do.

- Yeah? Henry's just a kid.

Would you have actually shot him?

- Don't do this, David.

We have a mission to accomplish.

We have to be ready...

...to make some sacrifices.

I'm not sure I can do that.

We said no one gets hurt.

Listen, little brother.

I will do whatever it takes.

We need to take a stand here

and now.

I want this city to be a safe

place, just like it used to be.

Before all this corruption

and those b..rds.

I will not let them get away

with what they did to my...

They're going to pay.

Just tell me we're not gonna hurt

anyone that doesn't deserve it...

...that's all.

- I can't say that.

- I'm not ready for this, Kyle.

I won't let you...

- You don't understand...

...what it's like until it happens

to you so don't even try!

Rico?

So you do remember me?

I know your boss.

Funny...

...he was expecting to see you

last week and you never showed up.

Please give me your gun

so there's no confusion.

- What do you want?

- I'm here as a messenger.

Mr. Antonioni

would like to see you.

- I've got nothing to say to him.

- I think it would be unwise to...

...refuse his invitation.

- I think you should leave.

- So what do we do now?

- We do nothing.

Antonioni had a message

for us. We just said...

...we're not interested.

That's it. That's the end.

Keep searching.

If you told me what you guys

are looking for, maybe...

...I could help.

I don't think so. Now, tell

me what the pride of Boston is...

...doing training rookies. Kind of

hard to believe you walked away...

...from all that fame

and attention.

I couldn't care less about the

media, man.

That's what kills people.

What the hell are you

talking about?

The media, kidnappers

and sickos, that's...

...exactly what they're looking

for. A chance to be heard.

Spread the message to the world,

blow themselves up and make sure...

...everybody sees it.

C'mon, counselor.

You know how it works right?

Send a letter to a TV station...

...nothing happens. Point your gun

at unarmed victim...

...then, well, you got your

worldwide coverage, right, guys?

Is that what you think we are?

We're not terrorists, Jake. Okay,

I mean, you have no idea how...

David!

If you do as you're told...

...here today, you'll understand

everything.

You might be even be surprised

who's involved.

- Try me.

- Soon.

Now, what kind of bullshit do

you teach your rookies?

Whatever it takes to get 'em

ready...

...for the field, man. It's a lot

different filing reports than...

...dealing with potential killers,

right? So, I just...

...make sure they're ready.

Are you talking from experience?

I've had to deal with my fair

share of shady characters, sure.

People who point guns at other

people, well, they're always...

...a little unpredictable.

I'm sure you guys are...

...well aware of that, right?

Don't try and read me,

negotiator. Just know that I'm...

...determined to do what's necessary.

- I can see that.

I've seen that look before.

Rage in your eyes.

Type of look that tells me

you're willing to die...

...to achieve your goal.

Good. I'm glad we

understand one another.

There's something else I see.

You're looking for blood.
