Yeah, I like animals
better than people sometimes.
Especially dogs. Dogs are the best.
Every time you come home, they act
like they haven't seen you in a year.
And the good thing about dogs...
...is they got different dogs
for different people.
Like pit bulls.
The dog of dogs.
Pit bull can be the right man's
best friend...
...and the wrong man's worst enemy.
You going to give me a dog for a pet,
give me a pit bull. Give me...
...Raoul. Right, Omar?
Give me Raoul.
I f***ing hate Raoul!
Shut the f*** up, a**hole!
Sonofabitch won't shut up!
Hates Raoul.
Farley f***ed up the list.
I can dig it, Omar.
I had a dog like that.
A poodle.
She didn't bark, though.
She pissed on the floor.
I hated that dog.
But if I was ever depressed...
...she'd lay her head in my lap, look up
at me with those big old eyes.
Even though I thought
I hated that dog...
...I loved her.
It's like that, ain't it?
That love-hate thing.
No more goddamned talk!
I can't wait anymore.
I want my wife!
I want her up here.
Or I'll do our daughter.
- Listen to me...
- No more talking.
I want that b*tch or
I'll do the girl.
Omar, I'm doing the
best I can here, man.
I'm not going to hurt her. I just want
her to see me blow my brains out.
I want her to think about that when
she's sucking that fat prick's cock.
Roman's losing him.
If this guy goes, he takes
the girl with him. Let's go in.
I'll give Danny another minute.
He's pulled out of worse.
Another minute, that girl
will be dead.
Unit One, prepare entry.
All units stand by for full breach.
You lost him. Make entry.
Beck thinks you lost him.
Frost gave him the go-ahead.
That's not the play. Omar's tight.
He can get a shot off if they breach.
I can still talk to him.
I just need time.
HBT 1. Negotiator requests time.
Negative. Team's in position.
F*** it. I'm going in.
Don't do it.
You'll give him another hostage.
Know another way to get the gun
off her head?
Negotiator entering kill zone.
Keep him out. Our men will lose
objectivity if he's in there.
This is Frost. Stand down.
Omar was a Marine, right?
- We have a shot?
- Bedroom, but he's nowhere near.
He will be.
Get Eagle and Palermo to that window.
Tell them to wait for my signal.
Put that motherf***er on his back.
Hellman, Allen, Argento.
When I'm clear, come get that girl.
I just got word your wife's here.
Wife?
Shut the f*** up.
I've been authorized to make the trade.
But I got to come in...
...look around, make sure there's
no other hostages or surprises.
F*** you!
I want to see her first.
Omar, I got to come look.
Then I can bring in your wife,
get the girl.
What if you're lying?
Then shoot me!
Fair enough!
Nice and slow!
You look around...
...then I get my wife.
Or you f***ing die.
Ready.
Move real slow.
This ain't about me or you...
...but I'll take you out just the same.
He's in.
We got to play it out now.
Unit 1, hold position.
Lock it.
Nice breeze.
Great day to be out, you know?
Not cold. Cool, kind of brisk.
Too bad we're stuck here.
You've seen there's no surprise.
Let's do this.
I got to look in those rooms down there.
Make sure there's nobody there.
All right, move.
Football, huh?
Perfect day for it.
since I left the Corps.
Oh, yeah? You were in?
- Did a tour in '73.
- Semper fi, motherf***er.
I did 2 tours.
'68 and '69.
Well, hoo-f***ing-rah, Omar. Hoorah!
Don't meet many Marines these days.
Everybody joins the Navy.
I have a visual on the suspect.
See? Nothing here, Lieutenant.
So now we make the trade.
Stay cool.
We got a one count.
Like I said,
got to check out everything.
A Marine and a sailor
are taking a piss.
The Marine goes to leave
without washing up.
Sailor says, "In the Navy...
...they teach us to wash our hands."
The Marine turns to him and says:
"In the Marines, they teach us
not to piss on our hands."
Move! Move!
H.T.'s down!
Copy.
You all right?
You okay?
Thanks.
Here, boy!
Get down, get funky, get loose!
Do it, do it, do it!
You're a hoedown guy.
Now I've seen everything.
Which one is the most
pathetic out there?
How you feeling?
Not great. I want to talk to you.
All right, cool.
Cut the music!
Take a wild guess
who's on the news again.
After 6 hours, hostage negotiator
Danny Roman risked his own life...
... disarming the hostage-taker
to end the standoff.
It looks like you saved the day again.
No, it was a team effort.
I just talked the guy out.
Did he say anything in there?
He just wanted to hog the spotlight!
I came close to busting your ass today
because of that sh*t you pulled.
But because it'll never happen again,
I'll let it go.
All right, he's all talk.
Off the record, that was one hell of a
gutsy job. Again! Congratulations.
Thanks. Congratulations to you.
Great party.
You really in the Marines?
No, I was in the Army and
I f***ing hate dogs.
Though things worked out you put
these guys in jeopardy.
If you were taken hostage,
you would've f***ed up everything.
Everybody lived, Beck.
Even you.
Party!
Can't you take turns?
I was going to let Nate go in...
pissed at me.
Nate's much smarter than that.
I'm too smart.
Too smart for my own good sometimes.
I got to talk to you. It's important.
A minute, I promise.
Just a minute.
Go on, tell your secrets.
Someone approached me recently.
He knows who took money
from the disability fund.
Almost 2 million is missing.
I know.
According to him, we know the guys
who took it.
Cops.
Guys in our precinct, guys we
might call our friends...
...stealing our own money.
I would've told you sooner,
but this is my first chance.
Who told you this?
I can't say.
But he knows. He's been on
the job since '74.
He's been around.
He knows his sh*t.
Why didn't he go to Internal Affairs?
Because he thinks Internal Affairs
is involved.
Niebaum's name was mentioned.
He doesn't know what to do.
They offered to buy him out.
- And?
- And he said he'd think about it.
We were at the academy, worked Area 6
together, so he trusts me.
But this guy...
This guy is really scared.
When did you find out?
Most of it last night.
But I've been working on it
for a couple of weeks.
But you're on the board,
You might've heard something.
I didn't hear a thing.
They did do an audit,
but we didn't prove anything.
If somebody's stealing our money,
we got to find out who.
Tell this informant...
Sh*t!
Jesus Christ!
Officer Bald!
I was about to get one
till you showed.
I know you're partners,
but everyone's looking for you.
Don't shine the light in here, officer.
Can't a guy hold his partner's hand?
All right, I'll let you girls be.
Wipe your mouth.
Yeah, order me a drink, big guy.
We'll finish this later.
Don't tell Linda.
Sh*t!
I don't care to fix up this house alone.
And with what you're doing...
Darling...
