...for this attack. Why?

- You were one of the people...

...who should have seen this

coming. You were supposed to...

...protect our children. You could

have stopped Fisher.

- I didn't know.

- Because your daughter wasn't...

...a victim. Jake, you're as

guilty as the rest of them.

You killed an innocent man.

Man. No.

I was trying to stop...

...a terrorist from murdering

innocent children.

I had seconds to make a decision.

And you made the wrong one.

By killing Saidi, you took out...

...the one witness who could have

exposed the truth...

...behind these attacks.

People died, right? Maybe

that's something you can't...

...understand, but I gotta f..kin'

live with it.

Don't feel sorry for yourself.

You lost it, because you...

...pushed everyone away.

At least your family is...

...still alive. For now.

F..k.

- You're not looking so good.

- I'm not feeling too good.

- Let him suffer!

- He's not gonna suffer, Kyle,

He's gonna pass out.

- I've got some meds upstairs.

Please.

C'mon.

Why does your brother want

to kill me?

You'll understand soon

enough. How you feeling?

I'm okay.

C'mon, we gotta go.

I gotta use the bathroom. Just give

me a couple of minutes, please.

You got twenty seconds. And

I'm right behind that door.

C'mon, Jake, what are

you doing in there?

Nothing, just give me a second.

C'mon, we gotta go.

Now. Let's go.

- Okay.

C'mon.

Well, you look like sh*t.

Getting shot does that to

you sometimes.

Good to see you still have your

sense of humor, because I have...

...one final task for you.

- Karl Fisher is a dangerous...

...and powerful man.

He must be stopped.

I could have a team follow

him day and night.

Tap his phone.

Sure. We can do that.

Or we could kill him.

No, you got no chance, man.

Security team he's got...

They'll shoot you before...

...you take one step into that

building.

Who said anything about me?

Are you out of your mind?

What happens when Karl

Fisher sends a fake...

...terrorist to blow up your

daughter's school...

...do you ever think about that?

You want Karl Fisher dead?

Why don't you...

...f..king kill him yourself?

- Yes, I would love to, but...

...as you so eloquently stated,

I would never be...

...able to get close to him. You,

on the other hand, have met...

...our dear Senator Kimball

on several occasions.

They know you, they trust you...

...you're the only one

who could do it.

I would love to debate this

all day with you...

...unfortunately we're out of time.

It's not your fault.

It's not that.

Something's off.

Jake said something about Fisher.

So what?

I don't know, I think he

was trying to tell me something.

Some kind of old code that we used.

Kathy?

Jake didn't call us from the

precinct, did he?

Down! Down!

Okay, negotiator, I'm gonna make

this real simple for you.

Here's the drill. Karl...

...Fisher and Henry the

rookie. Two hostages.

In order for one to live

one dies. It's your...

...decision. You have ten

seconds. Choose.

Kyle, don't do it.

Kyle, look at me. Please,

look at me. Don't do it.

You'll regret it for the rest of

your life.

Five seconds.

Henry, I'm sorry.

Please, please, Kyle...

You can't do this. Look at me,

don't do it!

Time's up.

You shot a cop!

I told you that nothing would

stop me.

You've got forty minutes

to get to that meeting...

...and kill Fisher!

All right.

Guys, we got company.

There's three guys with a shitload

of guns.

We'll be able to track your

movements through the...

...security camera, but if anything

goes wrong...

...I don't need to tell you

what happens then.

You touch my daughter and

I'm gonna kill you.

I'm right here. David, take him

upstairs and get him cleaned up...

...get him ready.

Then bring the girl down.

- Let's go.

- On your way.

Do you know what that is?

Yeah.

Don't move.

Yeah, I've done this once or twice.

C'mon, big boy. Big galoot.

Don't die on me just yet, son.

C'mon, Jake, what are you

doing in there?

Give me a few seconds,

please. I think I'm gonna be sick.

No offense, man, but we

gotta get going...

That's it.

How does it feel?

I don't wanna kill you,

David. But this stops right now.

Get up!

Get up!

Move.

David, is that camera up yet?

- It's working just fine.

- Drop the gun Kyle.

- No.

- Not till you kill Karl Fisher.

David, you move and I'll put...

...a bullet right in the back of

your f..king skull.

David...

Kyle.

You'll have to kill me first.

F..k!

Wait!

His son was a f..king student

at Dumont school, man.

His name was Jeremy.

Back off! Back off, Jake,

I'm telling you!

David!

Back off! David!

I'll kill her. I will.

I'll do it!

No, you won't, Kyle.

Kathy...

...he's not gonna shoot you.

I'll do it.

I swear to God I will.

It's gonna be okay.

Kyle, you listen to me.

I know you won't shoot

cause I know what it's like...

...to lose a child.

I know about Jeremy.

No.

You don't say his name.

You don't ever say his name.

You were supposed to protect him!

Hurting Kathy wasn't part

of your plan.

Please. Look at my baby

girl. She's got...

...nothing to do

with any of this.

She's my baby girl.

Please don't hurt her.

Kyle, he's right, man.

This is wrong.

She's a damn .kid. We shouldn't

f..king be here.

David!

I'm sorry, okay?

I'm sorry, baby.

Keep breathing, okay?

Stay awake.

- Are you okay?

- Yeah.

I think someone's here to

see you.

Listen, Jake.

I hope you understand...

...it's your last chance to

get your family back.

Look at them.

Mr. Fisher, what can you tell us

about the recent events?

Well, what happened

was a tragedy.

And I want the people to know that

these attacks...

...will not go unpunished.

What can you tell us

about your brother, Anton Fisher?

My brother was a

good man and a patriot.

He was trying to protect our way of

life when he was murdered.

There have been rumors

of a conspiracy.

All I can tell you is that our

country has enemies.

And when the time comes, we will

all have to take sides.

We live in a beautiful country, but

we need to protect it.

Thank you, that will be all

for today.

One last word, please,

concerning Senator Kimball.

Senator Kimball was not only a

great man, he was a good friend.

His assassination is a declaration

of war on our country.

And we will not be intimidated and

we will not give in to fear.

Now we've been informed the

terrorist cells have emerged...

...in several cities,

including Boston.

There have been allegations of

mass arrests, based on...

...people of ethnic background

and religion.

Someone had to take

measures against these threats.

I'm not afraid to be that person.

One last question, Mr. Fisher,

are you declaring war...

...against terrorism,

or certain minorities?

We're done here.
