Tension(s) (2014) - full transcript

- Okay, look.

I've got some cash, why don't
you just take it and leave?

- We don't want your money.

- Well take whatever
you want and I promise

I'll forget the fact that
you broke into my house.

- You don't get it.

- I think you were about
to shoot my brother.

How are we supposed
to trust you now?

- I wasn't gonna shoot him.

I was just gonna scare him off.

Okay, now listen.



If you guys leave now,
this ends here.

I haven't seen your faces.

And before you do anything
stupid you gotta know

that I'm a cop.

- Why don't you tell us
something we don't already know,

Jake?

- Francis Kesler, right?

A question.

A bad motherfucker holds a
gun to your partner's head.

What do you do?

- I'm thinking.

- I think you lose.

You drop your fucking gun!

All right.



- Don't hit me so
fucking hard, Kesler.

- What the fuck was that?

- I think you were shot.

- No that's BS.

My team had you two
assholes at gunpoint.

We could have shot
you at any time.

Kesler, admit it, my team won.

- Listen, as I said,
you got shot, we didn't.

- Man, I'm telling you, I'm
not buying no beers today.

- Fine, it's on me.

- By the way, you owe
me a new shirt.

- Well now that you know we
didn't pick the wrong house,

you seem a little confused,
Jake.

- Who are you?

We ask
the questions here.

- Okay, listen.

I don't know what
you're doing here,

but you're not going
to achieve anything

by bringing guns into my home.

- Trust me, we know
what we're doing.

Don't think we
haven't come prepared.

- Why are you here?

I'm nobody,
I'm just a simple cop.

- You should give
yourself more credit.

You are far more
useful than you think.

What?

Are you not alone in the house?

Should I go check?

- No.

No need to check.

My daughter's spending
the week with her mom.

- You mean Kathy?

- Why so surprised, Jake?

Like I said, we came prepared.

- What do you want?

Why are you here?

- Relax.

We're not here to
hurt anyone, all right?

- Speaking of Kathy, I heard
she had some trouble at school.

- Listen guys, you
obviously want something

from me, right?

So why don't you leave
my daughter out of it?

- I heard she was expelled
last week for fighting.

- You heard wrong,
she's doing fine.

- It didn't seem that
way when her mother

dropped her off here last night.

- What'd you say to me?

- You wouldn't want us to
wake her up now, would you?

- Don't play games with me.

- When I look at you,
I see a pathetic,

washed up cop who doesn't
give a shit about anything.

Struck a nerve.

Now it seems there's some things

you do still care about.

Now sit down.

- Okay.

I'm not sure what you guys want.

But why don't we
just get to it, okay,

come on, what is it?

Revenge?

You looking for
some revenge, is that it?

Did I hurt someone you know,

maybe a family member or
something?

Come on, what is it?

- I already told you.

We're not here to
hurt you or your family.

All right, but there's
something that we need to do

and you're gonna help us.

We wanna bring
justice to the city, Jake

and although it doesn't
look like it right now,

we're the good guys.

- Right.

Right, that's right,
yeah I see that.

Good guys who kidnap a
cop and his daughter.

- Guys smart enough
to know what it takes

to get people's attention.

- Congratulations, you got mine.

- Look, we know you spent
the last year on desk duty,

the downtown
precinct on Kent Street.

We're not here for that.

We want to know about your
previous life.

- I don't know what you
guys are talking about.

- We're talking about that.

- So what?

- So that's you.

Or it was you.

- Tell us about this
previous life of yours.

After all, we are in the
presence

of the famous Jake Lamar.

Yeah well
don't believe everything

you read in the papers.

- You don't look much
of a hero to me.

- I'm not a hero, baby.

Just a simple guy doing his job.

- Why were you transferred,
Jake, hmm?

What happened to
the pride of Boston?

- Just left this all to rest.

That's my problem.

- Everything became our problem

when we put a gun to your head.

Now answer the question,
why did you transfer out?

- Your file doesn't
say anything about it.

You weren't fired, you
requested the transfer.

- Do either of you guys have
any idea of what it's like

to face a hostage taker?

It's not like working in a bank.

It's not like
working in an office.

You get it?

People's lives are in your
hands,

you make mistakes, someone dies.

- Answer the question.

Why did you leave?

- 'Cause I fucked up.

I failed, I made
a mistake, okay?

Like I said, unlike
working in a fucking bank,

in my case, people die.

- You've been a hostage
negotiator for 10 years.

People died before.

What was so
special about this case?

- It was a school, man.

Okay, it was a school.

We weren't talking about people,

we're talking about kids here.

- The Dumont Tragedy.

- Okay, enough.

You're not here to
talk about my wife.

You're not here to talk
about my work, okay?

So what is it?!

- You're going to do
exactly as you're told

so that justice can be served.

As a cop, it's your job to
protect people

yet you are completely
blind to the threat

the city faces.

You and the whole police force
are a joke.

You can't protect shit.

- Look, Jake.

You can save lives today.

And maybe restore some amount
of faith in our system.

But we honestly can't
do it without your help.

Now I'm asking you, trust us

and you will see the real threat

that's been clouding the city.

The question is,
can we trust you?

- What threat?

Who's behind it?

Why should I trust you?

- Just do as you're told.

And if you're even half as
smart as we think you are

you might just figure it out.

- It's what we have to do, Jake.

Right, nobody's
doing a damn thing.

Somebody needs to step up.

- I am not a police
negotiator anymore.

I work a desk job in a
local police precinct, okay?

I've got no more connections.

I've got no more
power for that matter.

So, uh...

Maybe you
picked the wrong guy, pal,

and you made a mistake.

- Don't insult us.

It's time.

- For what?

I don't get it.

- Enter your password.

- What?

Do you realize what you're
asking me to do here?

This is classified information
about police personnel.

- Yeah, we understand.

- Your password, Jake.

Don't force me to do
something we'll both regret.

- Come on man,
please, come on, guys.

Come on, don't make me do this.

- Jake, again I swear to
you we have no intentions

of harming anyone.

But what we're about to
expose is far more important

than some ridiculous
security breach.

- I may not be
much of a cop anymore

but I think I would have an
idea if there was a threat

against this city.

- Yeah?
- Yeah.

- Did you guys know
about the Bensen tower?

The Mandel Hotel
or the Dumont School?

- No.

- We're dealing with a
group powerful enough

to hit us and cover it up so
damn fast.

The whole police force,
even NSA,

be completely useless.

- You listen to me.

There was 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 us some time.

You may just change your mind.

- I don't give a damn if
you believe this 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 going to ask
you one last time.

Enter the password.

- No.

I'm done risking people lives.

- Okay.

- What do you think
you're doing here?

What do you?

- I don't wanna hurt you.

- You touch my daughter,

you gotta be
prepared to kill me.

- Enter the fucking
password already.

Who the fuck is that?!

- It's Henry, relax.

Who the fuck is Henry?

- He's here to pick me up.

- What the fuck 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.

Find a way.

If he suspects anything,
he died because of you.

All right, go.

- Hi sir, hope
I'm not too early.

- Well 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.

But listen here, kid.

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 of rest is all.

- Sir, don't say that.

My girlfriend is
one of those believers

of not using any drugs.

Well, pharmacy drugs of
course and she can stay

sick for weeks and I was
watching some

of those doctor
shows and some viruses

can just kill you.

Are you sure, I could be quick.

I go and grab it, I'm back
in fucking 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 have given you a call.

- It's no problem, sir.

I hope you get everything
solved with your wife,

well ex- wife.

My parents divorce
was pretty messy.

I mean it's not unusual for
ex life partners to get along

with each other after.

Specially with a
child in the middle.

And I mean you have a
daughter and all, and--

- 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 if talk to much when,

well anyway,
have a good day, sir.

- Okay.

- Just walk away, kid.

Walk away.

- What the fuck
was he doing here?

- Come on guys, just relax.

My wife's car broke down.

Henry came to pick me up.

It's called a divorce.

- Watch your mouth, smart-ass.

- You did good, Jake.

- Didn't think I had a choice.

- We've wasted enough time here.

Let's get back
to work, shall we?

- Again, what are we doing here?

- Tess said she
had some info for us.

- By chance, did
she pick the spot?

- Yup.

I'm gonna go check it out.

- Yeah, please.

- You okay?

- I'm fine.

How's our guest?

- He's fine, just not going
anywhere.

- Just keep an eye on him.

And find that profile.

- Give me a second to
catch my breath, okay?

That was a fucking close call.

- We can't expect
everything to go as planned.

The key is to just
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 got to be ready to
make some sacrifices.

- Yeah, 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 bastards.

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.

Fucking say it!
- I can't say that.

- I'm not ready for this,
Kyle and 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, we expected
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. Antonietti
would like to see you.

- I have nothing to say to him.

- I think it'd be unwise
to refuse his invitation.

- Then I think you should leave.

- So what do we do now?

- We do nothing.

Antonietti 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,

it's exactly what they're
looking for.

The chance to be heard.

Spread the message to the world

and blow themselves up and
make sure everybody sees it.

Come on counselor, you
know how it works, right?

You send a letter to a TV
station, nothing happens.

Point your gun at an unknown
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!

You do as you're
told here today,

you'll understand everything.

You might even be
surprised who's involved.

- Try me.

- Soon.

Now, what kind of bullshit
do you teach your rookies?

- Whatever it takes to get
them 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 line.

- 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.

The 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.

But I pray to God that
whatever hate's going on

inside of you, it's not directed
at anyone

inside this house.

- Tell me about your wife.

What happened between you two?

- What happened, nothing
happened, man.

She left me and
I don't blame her.

- Why'd she leave you?

- It's none of your concern.

- I'm just trying to understand
what happened to you.

I mean, look at yourself.

You look like shit.

Your house is a mess.

Now you're working
a shitty desk job.

See, I could read people too.

- What happened doesn't matter.

We have a beautiful daughter

and we both love
her very much, so,

we get along just fine.

- There's something you're
leaving out.

- I assume you didn't come
here to fix my marriage,

right counselor, so why
don't you just get back

to what it is you want?

- Love was never the
issue between you two.

You never stopped loving her.

There's something else.

You pushed her away, why?

- What do you want from me?

What is it you want?

Come on, enough of this
psycho-babble bullshit

about my work and my wife.

You've already threatened me.

You've threatened
my daughter and a kid.

Enough.

What do you want?

- Hey, hey, Kyle.

Kyle, I got it.

I got it.

- Yeah, that's him.

You wanna know
what we want from you?

There it is.

- Francis Kesler.

We need to know
everything about him.

- Searching randomly for
conspirators

on the police database.

It's a little extreme,
don't you think?

- What can you
tell us about him?

- A member of SWAT.

An elite sniper.

Oh, yeah.

His name's Francis Kesler.

Again, what can
you tell us about Kesler?

- He's an elite member of SWAT.

Back when I was a police
negotiator,

we called Kesler in if there
was a sticky situation.

Him and his guys would
clean everything up.

Is that what you wanna know?

- Better, but you're not
telling us everything.

- Bad luck.

Maybe you should have
kidnapped a SWAT guy.

- That's fair.

- Okay.

You know what, counselor?

Being the police
negotiator that I was,

I think I could
give you a tip or two

on how to improve your
communication skills.

We could do
this all day, smart mouth.

- Whoah, hey, hey, whoah whoah.

We already know
you guys are tight.

It's okay.

- Then why are
you asking me for?

- It's all about
cooperation and trust, Jake.

We're here to stop a killing

and unfortunately we need you.

Everything's a test until
we stop these murderers.

- Kesler and I go back I
don't know, maybe 10 years

so we were both
in the Academy together.

- There we go.

Now don't forget
to mention that he's

your daughter's godfather.

- Okay, so we're close.

- Close enough to lie for him?

- What do you mean?

- Those are
classified papers, Jake.

Kesler was the subject of
an investigation by IAD.

He shot a suspect but
fortunately

he wasn't on the
clock when he did it.

- How'd you get these papers?

You guys cops?

IAD maybe?

- Funny you say that.

Are you or do you know of
any corrupt cops in the city?

- That's not what I said.

- I honestly don't give a shit.

I wanna know why you
testified in his favor.

- Kesler was accused
of shooting a suspect

in cold blood.

This guy was dangerous.

Not only was he dangerous
but he was holding

innocent people's lives in
jeopardy.

- See, that's
where it gets tricky.

You testified under oath
that you were at the scene.

You were a witness.

- That's right.

- You were nowhere
near the scene

when the shooting
went down, though.

- I think you should check
the court documents again.

- No, I think you should
take a look at this.

- 10:45 the same day.

You couldn't have been
in two places at once.

When the suspect
Christopher Brown was shot,

you were over an hour away from
the scene.

My wife had the
credit card that day.

- We also have footage from the
gas station security camera.

You lied in court to save
your friend's career.

- Christopher Brown was
associated with the local mob.

Okay?

There were witnesses who
saw what this guy did

but they're all too
scare to testify.

I did what I had to do.

- You lied!

Kesler shot Brown and you
covered for him

knowing he was guilty!

- If Kesler said it was
self-defense,

I believe him.

- Are you sure you know your
friend as well as you think?

- So that's what
this is about, huh?

You guys after Kesler?

- Look, we got
enough evidence to get you

and Kesler fired from the force.

But what we want
is for the both of you

to help us expose a conspiracy.

- Okay.

Give me proof of what you claim

and then maybe we
can have a deal here.

- I swear to you, Jake,
within the next hour,

you'll know everything
and you'll see everyone

who's been implicated.

- If you guys know
who's behind this,

why don't you just expose them?

- Like we said, these
guys are powerful enough

to make evidence, even
people, just disappear.

- We want you
to call your friend

and ask him for his help.

We also need
confirmation of the target.

- What am I
supposed to tell him?

- You and Kesler are close
and he owes you, okay?

Whatever happened in the past,

he can change something today.

- You understand what it's like

to have another person's
life in your hands.

There's no room
for self-pity here.

Time to step up.

Make the call.

- I don't think I can do this.

- You don't have a choice.

Call Kesler.

Tell him your precinct has intel

on a threat against the city.

You need him for
an unofficial operation.

We'll feed you the info.

- What if I refuse?

- That's funny, you see I
could blow your head out,

splatter your brains
all over the walls.

Your daughter wouldn't
even wake up.

- Fuck you.

- Is there something
you need to tell me?

- Did I forget to mention?

Kathy's a deaf mute.

Make sure she
understands what's going on

when you wake her up.

- You didn't tell me that.

- It doesn't change a thing.

Now go get her!

- Wait!

Wait.

Okay.

All right, I'll do it.

- Hello?

Hey, man.

- Hey Jake, you okay?

- Yeah, bud,
everything's just fine.

- I'm so glad you called.

JC's worried about you,
she called me last night.

- Listen, I didn't call to
talk about my wife, Kes.

- What's going on?

- Listen, Kes, I've got
intel that there's gonna be

an attack against
the city today.

They're talking about
somebody high profile.

- Who's your intel?

You know I can't tell you
that, pal, but

I need your help.

- Just tell me what you need.

- Okay.

I just need
you to get ready, Kes.

- Give me two minutes.

- Something else, buddy.

This one's unofficial.

- I trust you.

- Thanks, pal.

I'll get back to you.

I don't like using this guy.

I hope you guys
know what you're doing.

Am I supposed to know this guy?

- His name's Anton Fisher.

Kesler knows him.

This man is the key to
stopping today's attack.

- We want Kesler and his
team to get to Fisher.

- No.

What you want is for me
to use my friend Kesler.

- Do you even know who Fisher is

or the kind of
connections he has?

- Actually I can't say I do.

But what I do know
is you're asking me

to risk my friend's life for
absolutely no reason at all.

- Everything we've told
you today is the truth.

What these guys are planning

will bring the
country to its knees.

Fisher knows the target.

He's the only
one who can stop it.

- We're all risking
something here today.

- Hey Jake, I'm taking
Reese and Yanis with me.

What do you have for me?

- Okay, sounds good,
listen, Kes,

what can you tell
me about Anton Fisher?

- Anton Fisher?

Well, he's an asshole who finances a white extremist group.

He has been arrested a few times

but if you check
on his police records,

he comes up clean
as a baby's ass.

- That doesn't make sense, pal.

- Actually it does

when your brother
is Karl Fisher.

- The candidate.

- The racist asshole whose
party preys on people's fear.

- Okay, listen, Kes,

what can you tell
me about Anton Fisher?

What else, I need something.

- Okay, what I'm about to
tell you is classified.

He was being
watched very closely.

But when his brother
Karl Fisher became one

of the frontrunner candidates,

the investigation stopped.

Jake, why don't you tell
me what's going on really?

- Okay listen, Kes, we
have reason to believe

that Anton Fisher's behind
this attack on the city, okay?

I'm hearing an assassination
attempt, somebody high profile.

- Tell me you're
fucking with me.

- No I'm not, what's going on?

- He snuck in boys in the city.

He's calling for a private
meeting

regarding last week's events.

- No shit, Kes.

No one
knows about it.

- Listen to me, buddy.

I need you to find
me Anton Fisher.

I need you to find me
Anton Fisher right now.

When you do, you call me ASAP,
you got it?

- Right, let me make some
calls, I'll find him.

- Okay, Kes, watch your back.

- Sure.

- Thanks, pal.

- So you starting to
believe us now?

- I don't know.

This Anton Fisher's
a low level crook.

He doesn't have the connections,

he doesn't have
the power to really

pull anything like this off.

- No, no no, you don't
understand.

Karl Fisher is using
his little brother to--

- Karl Fisher is getting very,
very close

with Senator Kimball right now.

- Jake, we have been working
for months on stopping this.

Fisher has been planning each
of his moves for years, okay?

Today's attack is just
part of a long scheme

that he and his supporters
have been waiting for.

- We understand you don't
believe us.

That's why we want Anton
Fisher to tell you himself.

Okay, you guys
take that way, I go this way.

- Clear.

- Guys, we have a
security breach.

- Shh.

Put the fucking gun down.

Nice and slow,
that's it, very slow.

- Put your hands up.

Turn around slowly.

- Kes, we got Fisher.

- Copy that.

I'm on my way.

What the fuck?

- He tried to shoot at us, man.

- I want to see a fucking
warrant right now!

- I don't think you understand.

- You're not under arrest.

- Like he said,
you're not under arrest.

Fuck you!

- What the fuck are you doing?

You guys have any idea
what kind of trouble

you're getting yourself into?

- Anton Fisher, I assume
you know why we're here.

We have been
watching you for weeks.

We know everything.

- Bullshit.

- We know about today's attack.

- I wanna see my lawyer.

I got nothing
to say to you guys.

- Yeah well, we'll
see about that.

- We know about the money
laundering, the fraud,

your ties to a
white extremist group.

- Check your facts.

I got a clean record.

- I wonder why.

- Then you should know.

Whatever you have on me,
it's not gonna stick.

In fact I'll be out of
here in a few hours.

- Again, we're not here to
arrest you.

- You're making a big
mistake being here, man.

I'm gonna have both
your heads for this.

- Whatever you say.

Now what we want to know
is about today's attack.

- I'm a businessman.

You got the wrong guy.

- You're a fucking crook.

And you should have been
thrown in jail a long time ago

if it wasn't for your brother.

- Well I have to admit, my
brother's political aspirations

have certainly made my
business profitable.

- That gives you freedom
to do shitty deals

without police snooping around.

Not bad.

- You got nothing on me.

- You understand we are talking

about national security, right?

So why don't you tell
us what we need to know

or this nice little
chat we're having

is gonna turn ugly.

- You can't touch me.

- Well this is where you're
wrong, Anton.

See, this is your last chance.

What's going down today?

That's how you wanna play it?

All right, all right.

- Kes?

- It's done, we
have Anton Fisher.

- Okay that's good, did he
tell you anything at all?

- Not yet.

But I can tell that motherfucker
is hiding something.

- Yeah, I think so too.

Listen, we need confirmation
on the attack, okay?

You get this guy to talk.

- Okay, just tell me how
far you want me to go.

- As far as you need to, Kes.

- We are talking about
Karl Fisher's brother.

Are you sure?

- Yeah.

- Listen, we know that
you're involved in an attack.

We know that this attack
is gonna happen today.

Most importantly, we
know that Senator Kimball

is in Boston today.

- I got nothing to say to you.

- Who's your fucking target?

- Go fuck yourself!

- Get his fucking hand.

- You starting to see it?

- I didn't say that.

- You better get ready.

Don't say a word.

Fuck, it's that kid Henry again.

- Now listen to me, just relax.

I told you he's a rookie.

I'll take care of it.

Please, just relax.

- Just do it fast.

Go, now.
- Okay.

Henry, what do you want?

- Sir, I know you said
you don't want anything,

but if you got a virus,
you're gonna need to kill it.

So I got you some medication

from the pharmacy
down the street.

- Okay Henry, thank you.

Thank you very much.

- Boss, no problem, yeah.

- Great, great, listen.

Aren't you gonna
be late for work?

- Yes sir.

I understand, sir.

- Henry, Henry, go.

Henry?

Ha, no, man!

No!

Come on.

- I'm gonna fucking shoot you.

- He's just a fucking kid.

- Now, now!

We had a deal.

You broke it.

He almost died
because of you, Jake.

- Where'd you take him?

- Don't worry, he'll be fine.

Understand, we don't
have a lot of time.

Everything we're doing
today depends on you.

If we fail, people die.

Failure is not an option here.

- That wasn't meant
to happen, man.

- We use our
group to launder money

and to deal a few things.

It's nothing major.

- We don't give a
shit about that.

We just wanna know about today.

- I told you man, I don't know!

- I think you do.

Who's behind it?

All right, listen.

I'm sorry, I shouldn't
push you like that.

Okay, now I need
you to give me something

or I fucking kill you!

- What do you and your degenerates have planned for today?!

Damn it!

- If you do anything like that
again,

I will shoot Henry right
before your daughter.

Are we clear?

Say it.

- Yeah, we're clear.

- Sit down!

- Don't you touch me!

The fuck, yo, stop it!

Stop it or I'll fucking shoot
you.

- Get the file!

All right, hero.

Let's get back into this.

I assume you know this man.

- Malik Sayidi.

- What do you
know about him, Jake?

- Claimed to be part of
some terrorist group.

Took a classroom full of
10 year old kids hostage.

We tried everything we
could to save the kids

but I guess you guys saw
the rest of it on TV.

- And did you find any evidence

that he was part of this
terrorist group?

Actually no, we didn't.

- What did you find?

- He was born in Pakistan.

He traveled back
and forth quite a bit.

We assume that's where he
made most of his connections.

Back in Boston,

we didn't really
find much of anything,

just a little C4 left
back in his apartment.

- Look at me.

Fucking look at me!

Tell me what I
need to know and it stops.

Give me the gun.

His hand.

- Wait, wait, wait, wait!

- The evidence you
found was planted there.

- It's true, Jake.

Malik's ID was clean.

You and your man shot an
innocent man

and you triggered that bomb.

- A guy who kills kids
can't be called innocent

in my books.

- What if I told you he
didn't kill those children?

- You're saying,
what are you saying?!

- Are you that blind, you
can't see the evidence

right in front of
your fucking face?

- I don't buy it.

I don't buy it.

- Jake, why don't
you call Anton Fisher?

Ask him about Malik,
see what he says.

- What would Fisher
know about Sayidi?

- Do it.

Call Kesler.

Tell Fisher to tell
you about Sayidi.

Do it.

- Okay.

Okay, I'll do it.

Kes.

- Yeah Jake.

We got him, listen to this.

- Tell him what
you just told us.

- I'm part of a group called
Snow.

The group was created to
finance my brother's campaign

and manipulate the public.

What have you done?

- Bribery, blackmail, threats,
payoffs.

Whatever was needed to make sure

the campaign was a success.

- Did you get that, Jake?

Karl Fisher's in on it.

- Tell me about Malik Sayidi.

- No, no, I'm done talking here.

I'm a fucking dead man.

- It's okay, tell him.

- Malik Sayidi was paid by Snow.

- What'd he do for you?

- He was hurting for
cash so I recruited him

to move money bags.

We ended up
stealing all the money

that was involved and
Sayidi was left with a debt

that he couldn't repay.

- You set him up.

- I made him an offer he
couldn't refuse.

- You sent him
to the Dumont School.

- All fucked up, man,
that was not my idea.

- You had Sayidi claiming
to be a terrorist

and he took all those kids
hostage, why?

What for?

- It's all part
of the bigger plan.

Listen man, the people
needed a push to think

that they need
my brother and his ideas.

Really, the whole
fucking country's falling

into the hands of blacks,
latinos, religious freaks.

We gave them
a fucking push, man.

The people needed a push
so they can see that.

That's it, that's all.

Fuck off.

Don't give me that fucking look.

I'm not the fucking
monster here.

I'm a fucking patriot!

The country's at
war and nobody wants

to do a fucking thing about it.

So I do something and you
give me that fucking look?

Right.

- Jake, I guess you got that.

- Kes, Kes, listen to me.

You remember those attacks
the last couple years?

We couldn't find
anything on Sayidi.

All the investigations that
didn't lead to anything,

do you remember that?

What do you think, maybe?

- Okay, hold on.

- You and your group were behind

those other
attacks on the city, right?

- No fucking way.

Go fuck yourself,
man, I'm done talking.

You're just getting
started, motherfucker.

- Kes, listen to me,
we're running out of time.

Call me back when
this piece of shit

tells you something.

Oh my god.

Who are you, how do you know?

- I'll tell you this.

When life no longer has any
meaning,

revenge becomes its own reward.

- Yeah well, I've done
everything you guys

have asked me to do, right?

I believe you're
not lying anymore.

And I'm promising you
justice will be served.

That's what I do, I'm a cop.

But you gotta
promise me that Henry

and my daughter leave
this house right now.

- Let's face it, Jake,
we're not done here.

I'm glad you finally
opened your eyes but,

no one's leaving this
house until it's finished.

- Anton Fisher's gonna tell us

exactly who's behind
this any minute.

Then it ends.

- Ah, not exactly.

We don't want Anton Fisher
buying his way out of jail.

Let's face it.

Karl Fisher is a very powerful,

very influential politician.

Even if his brother
does testify, then what?

- This conspiracy's
gonna blow up.

Everybody's gonna see it.

Everybody.

- You just don't get it, do you?

Anton Fisher has already
confessed.

He and his group have done

all the dirty
work for Karl Fisher.

Even killing innocent children.

No, he is not living
one more day.

- Yeah, he is your key witness
to the whole conspiracy.

- See that's your problem, Jake.

You believe in a justice system

that has let this man get
away with this for years!

Now, I'm making my own justice.

- Okay.

Hey David.

You can't be
agreeing with this man.

- Sorry Jake, but,

Anton Fisher deserves to die.

- Right, yeah I get it.

Little brother does everything
his big brother tells him,

I get how it works, yeah.

- Last call, Jake.

We want Kesler
to execute Fisher.

- Please stop!

- Anytime, just tell me. Just
tell me what I need to know.

And I stop right here, right
now, I swear.

- We stopped the bleeding.

Gonna get you something
for the pain.

- Okay, another one.

- Untie Mr. Fisher and
give me the fucking phone.

- Okay, sure.

- What?

- Go fuck yourself.

No, fuck, what the
fuck?!

- How did that feel, huh cap?

Next one's for Henry.

And I've got plenty
left for your daughter.

- This is wrong.

Looks like he missed
the bone.

- Gee, thanks.

I'm doing
the best I can.

- You call this doing
what you can?

- I said I'm fucking
helping if I can.

- What are you, a nurse?

Get your ass upstairs
and check on the girl.

- You said no one gets hurt!

- I said check on the girl.

Go!

- David.

Please, don't touch her.

- It's okay.

I'm just checking to make sure

she's still sleeping,
that's all.

- About that phone call.

Now that you know I'm serious.

- I'm gonna kill you.

- I'm right here.

- Jake.

We have a problem.

- What?

- She's fine, she's sleeping.

What?

- We did it, little brother.

Anton Fisher's dead.

- So it's over.

- What's over?

Nothing's over, we still
got a target out there.

My precinct can back us up.

- No, Jake, you were right.

It was never about justice.

It was about revenge.

I wanted Anton Fisher dead.

It's not like he
didn't deserve it.

- What happened
with you and Fisher?

- I have my reasons.

And he's not the only one
responsible for these killings.

- He did something really
bad to you, didn't he?

- Fisher destroyed
a lot of lives.

Mine was just one.

- So now you blame me
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 are as guilty
as the rest of them.

You killed an innocent man.

- No, 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 Sayidi, you
took out the one witness

who could have
exposed all the truth

behind these attacks!

- People die, right?

Maybe that's something
you can't understand

but I gotta fucking
live with it.

- Don't feel sorry for yourself.

You lost everyone because
you pushed everyone away!

At least your
family is still alive.

For now.

- You're not looking so good.

- I'm not feeling to good.

- Let him suffer!

- He's not gonna suffer, Kyle.

He's gonna pass out.

- I've got some meds upstairs.

Please.

- Come on.

- Why does your
brother wanna kill me?

- You'll understand soon enough.

How you feeling?

- I'm okay.

- Come on, we gotta go.

- I gotta use the bathroom.

Just give me a
couple minutes please.

- You got 20 seconds.

And I'm right behind that door.

Come on Jake, what are
you doing in there?

- Nothing, just give me,
give me a second.

Come on,
we gotta go now.

Let's go.

- Okay.

Come on.

Well, you
look like shit.

- 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.

The security team he's got,

he'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 fucking
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 my 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 we used.

Kathy.

- Jake didn't call us
from the precinct, did he?

- We should tell Henry.

- 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 10 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.

- Oh Henry, I'm sorry.

Please, please Kyle,
you can't do this.

Look at me, don't do it!

- Time's up.

- Oh no!

You shot a cop!

- I told you that nothing would
stop me.

You've got 40 minutes
to get to that meeting

and kill Fisher!

- Okay.

- Guys, we got company.

There's three guys and a
shitload of guns.

- We will 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,
I'm gonna kill you.

- I'm right here.

Now David, take him
upstairs, 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.

- God that one.

Big galoot.

You're not dying
on me just yet, son.

- Come on Jake, what
are you doing in there?

Give me
a few seconds, please.

I think I'm gonna be sick.

- No offense man,
we gotta get going.

Come on!

- That's it?

How does it feel?

I don't wanna kill you, David.

But this stops right now.

Get up, get up!

Get up!

Move.

David,
is that camera up yet?

- It's working just fine.

Drop the gun, Kyle.

- No.

Not until you kill Kyle Fisher.

- David, you move
and I'll put a bullet

right in the back of your
fucking skull, David.

Kyle?

- You'll have to kill me first.

- Ah, fuck, fuck, wait!

His son was a fucking student
at Dumont school, man.

His name was Jeremy.

- Back off!

Back off, Jake.

Oh, 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 her
because 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
anything.

She's my baby girl,
please don't.

- Kyle, he's right, man.

This is wrong.

She's a damn kid

who shouldn't fucking be here!

David!

- Aaah!

I'm sorry, okay?

I'm sorry, baby.

Keep moving, okay.

Stay awake.

- Are you okay?

- Yeah.

- I think someone's
here to see you.

- This one, Jake.

I hope you understand
it's your last chance

to get your family back.

Go get them.

- Mr. Fisher, what can you tell
us about the recent events?

- Ah 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

and we need to protect it.

Thank you, that
will be all for today.

- One last word please,
concerning Senator Kimball.

- Ah, 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
that terrorist cells

have emerged in several
cities including Boston.

- There have been
allegations of mass arrests

based on people of ethnic
background and religion.

- Well 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.
