The Negotiator Page #9

This'll all be over soon.

Danny, pick up the phone or

we will be forced to come in.

Will you tell my wife something for me?

Tell her I was trying

to keep my promise.

Niebaum worked at home just about

as much as he worked here.

He could have kept Nathan's taps there.

You alone?

You must surrender. I can't hold

them back. They're coming up.

I'm getting too close.

I know what went down now.

Niebaum told me Hellman, Allen

and Argento are involved.

You got no proof.

Niebaum confessed and we all heard him.

They're shooting us one by one

and you f***ers aren't helping us.

Are you going to help us?

Who called for the breach? Beck?

He says you fired first and

Niebaum was an accident.

He was assassinated!

He got three bullets, center mass!

Look.

Come on, you got to admit

something's going on.

Two cops are dead and you

killed one of them.

I need to get you all out of here

before they come in.

Let's end this!

They had to believe I was

capable of that!

There's only one dead cop up here,

killed by the men who set me up!

I know Nate tapped Hellman

and the others.

I think those taps are

at Niebaum's house.

If I can get there, I can end this!

You got no way out of here

unless you surrender!

You gave me a way out when

you shut the heat off.

You know there's another

way you can help me.

You were wrong about me.

What if I'm right about them?

But what if you're wrong about me?

Uncuff yourself.

Get in the conference room.

Initiate full breach. Shoot on sight.

Come on, Rudy. Move, move!

Here, Maggie, use this.

Markus, split this between

you and Rudy. Wet it.

You know the drill. There's going

to be a lot of gas and smoke.

Give me those keys.

Don't be scared. They're coming to save

you in a minute.

Close the door.

Down, down, down.

On the ground.

Double up, now!

Found the hostages. No sign of Roman.

Check the elevator shaft.

Check every vent. Check the basement.

Get up.

Let's go. Let's go!

We found Scott!

He's alive!

You want to prove your innocence,

here's your chance.

But you make one wrong move...

...and I'll take you down myself.

Understand?

You want to get out of here?

Follow me.

If he's in here, we'll find him.

He's not.

He's gone mobile.

This is Commander Beck. I am now

back in charge of this operation.

- What are you doing?

- He's out of the building.

He's no longer in your jurisdiction.

Dispatch.

Suspect may have left the scene,

possibly on foot. Alert all units.

Copy that. Alerting all units.

Sorry, Lieutenant.

Can we check the trunk?

I don't know what the f*** was going on.

A lot of sh*t happened.

You must have some idea.

You know something? I would really like

to help out but my lips are sealed.

Frankly, I don't trust any of you guys.

I'm very disappointed in all of you.

You got to help us out here.

I know what you're feeling.

I know you sympathize with Danny...

...but we need to stop him before he

does something dangerous again.

You don't want anyone else hurt, do you?

You know something, you don't tell us,

that's obstruction of justice.

You want to go to jail?

He went to Niebaum's house.

Why did he go there?

Why did he go there?

There's nothing here.

Who did Nate see the night before

he was killed?

He went to see you,

but you weren't at the precinct.

You're running out of time.

Dispatch, this is Commander Beck.

I need an air unit deployed

to the 1300 block of Addison.

And have available HBT units meet me at

the corner of Addison and Iroquois.

I also need an HBT supervisor to

finish clearing the building.

Come on, Danny, there's nothing here.

It's over.

That's it. I'm taking you in.

You had your chance.

Don't screw me now. You said you were

going to give me time, right?

I know these are the bastards

that killed Nate.

Now, all I need is...

...two minutes and your radio. I can

make this work. Come on! Come on!

Hold it, Hellman! You come down this

hallway, I'll shoot you one by one!

Come on, it's all over!

You'll do a little time.

Karen'll be taken care of. Okay?

Nobody gets hurt.

All right? Come on.

Surrender.

Surrender, my ass! I've got two disks

with your voices on them! Nate's taps!

Come on down the hall!

I got 15 shots here! That's 5 apiece!

Whatever you're trying to pull,

it won't work.

So stop this sh*t and come out

before someone gets killed.

I know somebody else was in charge.

You couldn't pull this off by yourself!

You got this all wrong.

No, I got it right! Is that why you

sound so nervous, Argento?

You killed Niebaum and Nate?

That's absurd!

Come on...

...your guys will leave you hanging for

murder 1 while they plea down!

Make a deal for yourself

while you still can!

I swear to you, we don't know what

you're talking about.

Play dumb!

How could you let somebody

get you on tape?

Listen to you!

Stop this sh*t and come out?

All right, keep talking, a**hole.

You've already done everything wrong!

You left me alive! Me against you...

...and I won.

Hey, f*** you!

F*** you!

I don't give a f*** what kind of

evidence you got!

Because you won't make it

out of here alive!

Stand down.

Put your weapons down and move

your asses out of here now.

Danny, it's me, Frost!

I'm ordering them off!

I'm locking them out now!

It's just you and me, buddy.

You hear that, Danny?

They're gone!

Listen, Danny...

...I know you're scared.

I know you don't trust anyone.

A lot of sh*t went down.

I don't even understand

some of it myself.

Come on out.

You have my support.

Any evidence you have,

let's bring it out there.

Come on.

What are you doing here?

- Finishing what you started.

- What are you talking about?

Roman is going out with me.

No one else. Alone.

We can't trust anyone else.

That's right.

We don't know who to trust, do we?

Do you like westerns, Frost?

What is that supposed to mean?

I like westerns.

I can't get enough of them.

Watch all the time.

My favorites are the ones where

the hero dies at the end.

You remember Shane, Danny?

What?

I think you're right.

Shane died at the end.

So...

...you killed Nathan.

I killed Danny.

And now my hands are just

as dirty as yours.

Only, I still have the evidence.

I'd say I'm in a very good position

to negotiate.

You want to deal?

You deal with me.

There's a time limit on the negotiations

because we're about to be interrupted.

Let's do this quickly. I want in.

I can't give you what I don't have.

You see, I spent a lot of my take.

I don't know how much Allen,

Hellman and Argento have left.

We used a lot of it to set Roman up.

You should've been a negotiator.

Right.

I want all evidence destroyed.

Deal.

This is everything?

What do you think?

Danny Roman's been shot.

He's dead.

Let's get you some help.

Come on. Here we go.

That's it. Come on.

We've got an officer down in here!

You have the right to remain silent.

If you give up that right...

...anything you say can and

will be used against...
