INSPIRED BY TRUE EVENTS

Dear travelers, this is the final stop for the train arriving from Brussels.

Please make sure to take all your belongings with you.

Yeah. Okay, bye.

POLICE

Dispatch wants us to chase off pickpockets at Dam Square.

-Have the locals called it in? -Yeah. Annoying assholes.

Pickpockets? Seriously.

This is why I want to get into investigation.

Detective work?

REPUBLIC OF BULGARIA

PRESCRIPTION MEDICINE

Hey, babe.

Hi, babe. Did you arrive safely?

Yes, I did. The journey was fine. Just a little long.

You sound very far away.

Yeah, sorry. Looks like I lost my earbuds.

Oh really? That sucks.

It really does.

Shit, those are pretty expensive.

Yeah.

You'll be there a while. Maybe you should get new ones.

Yeah, I'll think about it.

By the way, I picked up the brochures this morning.

Which brochures?

For the apartment.

It looks great.

They said that if we hurry with the down payment,

we can pick the best one.

Right. Just the down payment.

What's wrong?

It's nothing. I'm just bummed about my earbuds.

Yeah, I get it.

Do you hear that?

Yes.

I miss you already, babe.

Call again tonight?

Of course, babe. We'll talk soon.

Bye.

Hello.

Hi. Good afternoon.

…the last one at this price.

Lukas.

Hey, it's been checked out for you.

-Is it dead, or… -Not at all. The battery's just had it.

Sure. Yep, I'll be right there.

If you like, we can put in a new one, and it'll be as good as new.

-How long does that take? -Ten minutes, tops.

-Sounds good. -Great. I'll be right back.

Mom, quit acting so needy, please.

You know the great thing about all-you-can-eat?

You always get enough food.

And it's relatively cheap.

Know what's funny?

If you order too much and don't eat it, you still pay for it.

And that's where they make money.

Yeah, that's why I stick to salads.

Have a great day.

Good afternoon. May I help you?

Sir, you're not supposed to leave your belongings there.

Everybody on the ground.

Everybody on the ground.

This is my territory.

Everybody on the ground.

Nobody leaves the store.

Everybody, lie down on the ground.

Nobody goes outside.

Everybody, stay down!

Nobody wants to listen to me.

Come on.

Stay here. Nobody leaves.

They have to listen to me. All of them.

Come on.

Everybody stays inside. Lie down on the ground.

Lie down.

Stay here. Hey! Stay in here. Hey!

You need to take this up with the city, not with us.

You know the drill--

Everybody has to get down on the ground. Lie down, all of you.

Come on.

-Dispatch, emergency. -Go ahead 14-11.

People are fleeing the Apple Store on Leidseplein.

I think shots have been fired.

-Did you say shots fired? -Get inside!

Officers in the downtown area,

request assistance for an armed robbery at the Apple Store Leidseplein.

-Keep moving! -Go inside!

Go inside!

No view of the situation yet.

A lot of bystanders. Clear the area.

Get away. Go inside.

Stay inside. Get inside. Come on. Stay inside.

-Stay inside. -Get inside. Move.

No one goes outside.

Lie down.

This is my territory.

-Get inside the closet. Now. -Come on.

Nobody goes outside.

Stay here! Don't leave!

-Guys! Move! -Out of the way, move!

Hands, bro. Hands.

We can see one man, armed, camo clothing. Send backup.

Dispatch, he may be wearing explosives.

Jesus.

Dispatch, we're being shot at. Keep colleagues away.

Close off Leidseplein. Where's the Special Interventions Service?

Ten minutes out.

-Injured, dead? How many armed? -One perpetrator, for now.

Robbery, attack, terrorism? What should I say?

Who do we need?

Everybody.

SPECIAL INTERVENTIONS SERVICE

Winston speaking.

Yes, hold on.

Give me ten seconds.

Hey.

Come here. Daddy has to go.

I love you guys.

-Will you be back soon? -Always.

Okay.

I love you.

I know.

Be careful.

Of course.

Here.

Call to all units regarding a Priority 1 incident.

Minimal communication, please.

14-11, the SIS are on their way. Try to keep cover.

Incident at Leidseplein.

All other units, do not enter Leidseplein. Close off all access to the square.

No one is to enter Leidseplein. I repeat. Leidseplein is being closed off.

For those at the scene, please wear your vests.

-CCTR, are you listening? -Yeah.

-All cameras on the Apple Store. -Copy.

Stand by.

Excuse me.

-Yes? -Kees, it's Karina.

Can you get to the control room ASAP? Possible hostage situation, Apple Store.

I'm on my way.

Checkmate.

Sorry, man. Duty calls.

Get up.

I want a negotiator.

I want to talk.

I want a mediator.

Or I'll blow everything up.

What's your problem? Come at me! Come on!

-Fucking hell. -Fuck.

Stay there.

INTAKE + TASKFORCE

911, what is your emergency?

I'm in the store.

In the Apple Store.

I want to speak to a negotiator.

Sorry, who are you?

I'm the hostage taker. I want to speak to a negotiator, okay?

A mediator. I want the right person. You've seen it, right?

I'm serious. I want someone who knows what's what.

Karina? Are you watching this?

No funny stuff, or it all blows up.

Hello? Can you hear me? Hello.

I hear you.

You want to speak to a negotiator, right?

Yeah, I just told you.

To negotiate.

We're getting a negotiator for you.

Good. You guys have my number now, right? Let him call me back.

What do we do now?

-We have to get out of here. -Ma'am.

We need to be very quiet, okay?

He doesn't know we're in here. If we whisper, he won't hear us.

But if we open the door, we die.

Mom, please.

Who here has a phone?

Well, mine is out there.

-May I? -Yeah.

911, what is your emergency?

Hi, my name is Mingus.

We're hiding in a closet inside the Apple Store.

There's a guy with a gun in the store.

In a closet in the Apple Store? Where, exactly?

On the ground floor, opposite the elevator.

I work here. I took them into a closet.

Okay. How many of you are there?

Four.

Are you safe in there?

Sir?

Hello?

No.

Can anyone see you? Does anyone know you're there?

No. The door is locked.

It can only be opened with an employee badge.

Okay, got it.

And did you see the perpetrators, Mingus? How many are there?

-Fuck. There was just one, I think. Right? -Yes.

-Yes, definitely. -Yes, one. With a gun.

But I saw people fleeing upstairs, to the cafeteria.

Yes, Mingus. We know. We are in touch with them.

It's imperative that you don't attract attention, okay?

Stay calm and make sure you stay hidden.

That's for the best.

Our guys are outside, we're trying to get a clear picture of the situation.

We're working on it.

Leidseplein is on the left.

Yes, I'm making sure that you have a good line of sight.

Zulu has arrived and has eyes on it. You can watch along, dispatch.

We see two officers in the square. I'd definitely get them out of there.

Hey, those guys are pinned down. We have to get them out.

80-14, dispatch. There are officers trapped in the square.

They're in danger.

If they can't come to us, we'll go to them. We're advancing.

Everybody, standby.

Dispatch, the vehicle is moving toward the Hirsch building.

The situation is static for now, but may turn dynamic.

Request everyone to stay away.

Come here.

Ready?

Yes, the officers are walking along.

-Hey. -Okay, talk to me.

One man inside the Apple Store Leidseplein

with an automatic weapon that he's fired multiple times.

Four people are hiding in a closet on the ground floor.

He has at least one hostage, and there are people trapped on the floors above.

-About 40 or 50 of them. -Okay.

Is there contact? They're not being held hostage?

Yes, we have them on the phone.

He doesn't know they're there.

-But if he happens to go upstairs-- -Okay. They need to get out of there.

-Comms check. Valerie, you copy? -Yes, Kees. Copy.

He requested a negotiator.

-He requested a negotiator? -Yes.

That's a first for me.

-Where do you want command set up? -Here.

Redirect all other calls to Zaanstad. We're staying here.

The negotiators will sit there.

Here you go.

-What's this? -You need to call.

The mayor's away, and the commissioner is en route.

-Why do I need to call? -It's protocol.

Getting everyone out and arresting the guy, that's my protocol.

Kees? The SIS are almost there. One minute.

POLICE

Guys, comms check.

Radio check.

-Radio check. -Good check.

-Who's in charge? -Double Zero.

Welcome, Winston. Sorry we had to call you.

Tell that to my wife, Chief.

I'll send Maya flowers when it's over, okay?

Flowers? You'll have to buy out the Keukenhof to make up for this.

Listen, there are about 40 people trapped on the upper floor.

They need to get out ASAP.

Once we have the floor plans, I want a tactical analysis. Then we go in.

Not before.

Team Alpha, prepare for entry.

Bravo and Charlie will take over from the uniformed officers.

We're covering the entire scene.

Priority, evacuate all hospitality and offices. Clear?

Okay, copy.

We have to get the uniforms out. Come on. Go.

Fall back.

-Have we got the floor plans? -Almost all of them.

Almost? What's missing?

The Apple Store itself. No one seems to have them.

Call America, call Apple's head honcho. I want those floor plans now.

Delta in position.

Echo in position.

Abe. Glad to see you here.

Kees, all negotiators are arriving.

Have fun, guys. I'm out. I'm going to Leidse.

Leidseplein on the left at ten o'clock.

Yeah, absolutely.

Dispatch, we'll descend and keep an appropriate distance.

-Lynn, you're number one. -What do we know?

Hostage situation, motive unknown. One perpetrator.

Okay. That's all I need.

You should know that he specifically asked for a negotiator.

-Where do you want us? -Over there.

-In this madhouse? -I know, but I want everyone together.

Current plan of action.

Our snipers might not be able to hit him through the thick glass.

He has explosives attached to his body, and he's holding a detonator.

So taking him out remotely isn't an option.

Letting him walk out with explosives is even worse.

He needs to come out without explosives,

or we'll smoke him out and wear him down until he crumbles.

I'll get him out of there, 100%.

Lynn.

Go get him.

Dispatch? Double Zero at the scene.

Comms check. Echo, Bravo, how's the evacuation going?

Check, almost done.

Hey. Everybody ready?

Do we have the floor plans, so we can go upstairs?

-No. -Fuck.

-Is that him? -Yes.

-Get in position. -Copy.

LEIDSEPLEIN GRIPPED BY HOSTAGE SITUATION

APPLE STORE ROCKED BY VIOLENCE

-Wilco. -Lynn.

-Rachelle. -Lynn.

CALLING…

-Yeah? -This is Lynn, Amsterdam police.

You asked for a negotiator.

That's right.

Huh?

Is he showing us who's in charge?

Shut it!

Lynn speaking.

Yeah, hello.

Hi. Thank you for calling back.

I hear you asked for a negotiator.

Yes, that's right.

-That's me. My name's Lynn. -Yeah, you already said that.

-Twice already. -What should I call you?

That doesn't matter. Make something up. You're going to find out anyway.

Okay.

I'm happy to talk with you.

Can I just tell you what you can do for me?

Isn't that what this is all about?

-Or isn't it? -He's coming.

Don't take me for a fool.

Well, I think we find ourselves in a situation, and we should try to--

I'm not in any situation.

You're the one in a situation. Let me tell you exactly what I want.

-My demands. -Please do. That's why I called.

Yeah.

Okay.

I want 200 million in Bitcoin and free passage.

200 million?

Yeah, and? You're not deaf, are you?

No. I just wanted to check

that I heard you right. I mean, that's quite a lot of money.

A lot of money?!

That's not a lot for you people! To you, that's just parking money.

But to me, for what you've done to me, 200 million is nothing.

You're getting off lightly.

I have enough explosives for the entire square, you hear me?

I understand, I--

He's gone.

He says he'll blow the entire place up.

Fuck. I shouldn't even be here.

If you hadn't kept me here with that fucking laptop…

I didn't want to stay. You should have just shut up.

Are you with him?

-What? -Stop it.

This is bullshit.

It's not his fault.

Of course he's not with him. You see that, right?

They ruined me!

What's this?

-Where did we get this? -Apparently, he sent it to the local news.

Don't let this go public.

Abe, take a look at this photo.

-Is the bomb squad with you? -Fuck.

We need to know what type of stuff that is. Can you check?

Stand by.

So?

The writing indicates that this is practice ordnance.

Practice?

-So? They won't explode? -You'd hope so.

-But who's to say the text is correct? -So as per usual, you're no help.

I have to work with what I can see. Do you know what he has in those bags?

No. Why?

Let's say there's a detonation.

And those bags are full of explosives.

-The entire Apple Store will collapse. -Not just that.

I'd move my men farther back if I were you.

Fortunately, you're not me.

Did you hear that, Kees?

I heard.

Perfect position.

-Chief. -Hey.

Okay. I need two plans.

One, we need to get the people upstairs out quickly and quietly.

-Okay. -Two, a quick entry on the ground floor.

He's wearing explosives.

No idea if they're real or not. We can't really tell from here.

But he has one hostage in there, and there are four people in a closet.

He doesn't know?

Not yet.

I'm sorry.

I just wanted to help you. How was I to know--

No, it's okay.

None of this is your fault. I know that.

I didn't mean it. I'm sorry.

I'm Mingus, by the way.

Lukas.

I'm Bente.

I'm Soof.

And this is my…

Do you have kids, Mingus?

Yeah, a son.

Nigel, he's really…

He's a great guy.

We were going to see the Ajax game tonight.

How about you?

-Any kids? -No.

I do have a great girlfriend, but… Well…

Yeah, it's a little complicated.

We were supposed to go out to dinner this evening.

She must be wondering where I am.

She probably hates me right now.

CALLING

-Hello? -This is Mark. I'm with the police.

Mingus, I'll be your contact from now on, okay?

I'm very close by. I'm parked on Leidseplein, opposite the store.

Okay.

How are you guys doing in there?

We're all right, yeah. I guess.

Does he have hostages in the store?

He must, or you guys would have come in by now.

We're talking to him. Negotiations have just started.

We're doing our best to get this over with, Mingus.

We're keeping this line open, but stay quiet.

Okay.

I don't think he knows we're here.

As far as I can tell, he doesn't know about you.

And there's music in the store. That helps.

Shit.

There is for now.

What do you mean, "for now"?

The music turns off at closing time, 9:00 p.m.

The alarm goes off if there's anyone inside.

Okay.

Is there a way to keep the lights and music on for longer?

No. It's controlled centrally, in the US.

Okay, I'll look into it.

Put your phone on silent and on low-battery mode.

Turn off anything that uses up battery, clear?

Okay.

Kees, the lights and music turn off automatically at 9:00 p.m.

We need to contact Apple.

-Do you have my money? -Listen, the lights and music may go off.

The store would have closed by now, but with you there, the alarm may go off.

But that's not us, okay?

It happens automatically. It's completely normal.

Listen, the whole place will blow up.

Don't lie to me, Lynn.

Don't lie to me, okay?

I'm not lying. You can trust me.

I swear, nothing will happen. As long as we keep talking, nothing will happen.

Do you believe me?

Let's not do anything we'll regret.

Sorry, what turns off at 9:00 p.m., exactly?

It's only the lights and music.

It's standard procedure. We don't control the alarm.

Okay, be aware something might happen. Please keep a safe distance.

Stay with me. Just stay calm. Nothing will happen.

You see?

No alarm. You shouldn't lie.

No, I don't know why this--

Fuck, Kees. What I tell him has to be true.

Kees.

Apple is helping. The music and lights are staying on.

They're transferring the feed from their cameras to us.

-Great. And the floor plans? -They're on it.

But they're elsewhere in the US. Protocol.

It could take hours if we're unlucky. They're doing their best.

Feed from the store is in.

Should you be the one to call?

He didn't seem to trust you when he hung up.

I'll win him back.

-Yes? -Hey.

Is everything all right?

Why wouldn't it be?

Well, you were pretty angry when you hung up.

Because you lied. I don't like that.

I get it, but I have to rely on the information I'm given, okay?

I heard about the lights and the music turning off, and about an alarm.

And I thought I had to let you know, of course.

I don't want you to be spooked.

Yeah, okay.

But do you have my money?

I can confirm that we're working really hard on that.

I want Bitcoin. I hope you know what Bitcoin is.

Yes, of course I know.

Hey, it's getting uncomfortable that I don't know what to call you.

It feels so impersonal.

Double A. Just call me Double A.

Okay, thank you. Dubbel E, good name.

No, wait. Not… No. Not E. A.

Double A, in English.

In English. Double A.

You speak English, right?

-Sure, I speak English. -Well then.

Although I was born and raised in Amsterdam.

I feel like you were too. You speak with a hint of an Amsterdam accent.

It's not about me. It's about you and what you're gonna do for me.

We'll definitely talk about that. I really hope we find a way out of this,

Double A.

Oh yeah?

Who says I want to get out of this?

Well…

I assume you're doing this, because you want to achieve something, right?

Achieve? Simple, right?

200 million in Bitcoin and free passage.

Then we're good.

What are you thinking, Double A, for your free passage?

How do you want to go about it?

A fast car and a free escort to the A10 freeway.

To the A10 freeway?

Then what?

Then you have to swear to me that you guys won't follow me.

-And we'll get away. -We?

Me and my guy here.

Your guy?

-You want to take him with you? -Want to?

He's coming.

Once I'm safe and I'm not being followed, I'll let him go.

Listen.

You've been there a while. You must be hungry or thirsty, or the man with you.

I've given him a drink and some medicine.

I'm glad to hear that.

You're looking after him. What kind of medicine was it?

Okay.

Are you keeping an eye on him?

If he's that unwell?

You should keep an eye on him.

Just do your job, and we'll be out of here in no time.

Anyway, he doesn't look that sick.

It's something internal, right? How he looks doesn't mean anything.

That's why you should hurry and get my money,

'cause if it takes too long and something happens to him,

it'll be your fault, buddy.

My fault? That's pushing it, buddy.

You went in there armed, with a hostage and other shit, not me.

Yeah, okay. I guess you're right about that.

Kees?

EMPLOYEES AND CUSTOMERS ARE TRAPPED UPSTAIRS IN THE CAFETERIA.

STAY TUNED FOR UPDATES!

-Where's this from? -Most likely from someone inside.

-It's on several websites and socials. -Shit.

Abe, it's urgent.

I'm listening.

Some idiot posted that there are people upstairs in the building.

Shit.

We need to get those people out of there ASAP.

If he reads that there are--

Yeah, he'll suddenly have 40 more hostages to sacrifice.

We need to go in now and take that risk.

-Make sure those posts get taken down. -Understood.

Call the internet providers.

Why's this shit taking so long?

-Mingus? -Yeah?

We've been trying to get the store's floor plans,

but we don't have them yet.

We have to get the people upstairs out.

Do you know the fastest way for us to reach them?

Well, there's an exit at the back that connects to the property next door.

You can cross over through the back.

I can draw it for you.

Great. Do that, please.

-Send it as soon as you can, okay? -Okay.

What are you doing?

There it is.

Guys, gather round.

We'll enter via the dark side of the Hirsch building.

We know of one armed Tango inside. We don't know if there are more.

There are 40 Sierras trapped upstairs.

We're going to get them out. Quietly. That's the mission. Clear?

Stay focused, guys.

Lynn, keep him talking for as long as you can.

Attention. SIS is going in.

Ma'am, I really need you to--

Kees.

Intake four.

The girl who posted that absolutely refuses to take it down.

-Who is she? -Some influencer.

-She calls herself a "thought leader." -Call her.

Kees van Zanten. General Commander of the Amsterdam Police.

Did you post about the people in the Apple Store?

Do you know how many lives you're endangering, you moronic brat?

Now you listen up.

If you don't take it down in ten seconds, I will personally send an arrest team

to drag you away with a bag over your fucking head! Is that clear?

Is that clear?

So do it!

I'm curious.

What happened today to get you to this point?

Okay, tactical formation.

What happened isn't just about today. Do you get that?

It's been going on for a while.

The injustice you constantly subject me to, that's what this is about.

Okay.

All of you.

That infamous triumvirate of yours.

NVGs.

The public prosecutor, the police, the rule of law.

You've all abused me. You handcuffed me.

You threw me on the floor in a cell. You wronged me, understand?

But at some point, it ends.

And today, that day has come.

That's why I want money as compensation now.

I want money,

so that I can get away. Here, no one listens to me anyway.

I don't matter.

But I do matter, you get me? Just watch me.

I understand.

I'm working hard for you. Do you believe me?

You have no choice, right?

Are you pretending to care about me?

You're going home after this, back to your boyfriend, your kid, or whoever.

I want to get you out alive.

There are plenty of people who care about you. I'm sure of that,

and they want to see you come out of this.

That's what I want.

To have you safely outside.

Double A.

Call me Ammar.

Okay.

Ammar.

Thank you.

Like I said, I'm here for you. Okay?

But also for the gentleman

who is there with you.

He just came to the store to buy something

and doesn't have anything to do with this. He must be terrified, don't you think?

What are you doing?

I'm not doing anything.

I would just like to know how he's doing.

Ammar Ajar? A-J-A-R? First name Ammar.

Driver. Yeah, I get it. Because of that van.

Date of birth? April 21, 1995.

Ma'am, I'll pass you to my colleague. Please hold.

Please take it, channel five. Harry, big screen, now.

Ammar Ajar. Born in Amsterdam, roots in Syria.

A few misdemeanors. He went back to Syria as a child.

Has a history of psychiatric problems.

That's him.

You're watching, right?

Yes.

Ammar, we can see you.

I see you.

Then you'll soon see what will happen to him if I don't get my money.

What strikes me, is that you're looking after him.

I like that.

That's really good.

You even gave him a cigarette.

To keep him from panicking.

Yeah, well.

He's only…

He's only human.

Right?

Yeah, that's it.

-Exactly. -Exactly.

He's just as human as you and me.

Door may be opened.

-Okay, contact. -Keep going.

Hands on your head.

Hands on your head.

Double Zero to Bravo. Space is clear. No Tangos, only Sierras. Standby for evac.

-To me, go, go. -Keep walking.

-Move. -Keep it moving. Okay, clear.

Stick together.

I'm done talking to you, Lynn.

-Mingus? -Yes?

Everyone is safe. We got all of them out of the cafeteria.

Thanks to your information, so thank you.

-We're working hard for you, okay? -Okay.

Mark, how long is this gonna take?

We're doing all we can, Mingus. Believe me.

They're still working on it.

Great work, team.

Get the guys together. There's coffee, and we've ordered 100 pizzas.

-And the negotiations? -He's completely unpredictable.

It's gonna take a while.

Don't worry. I've already called the Keukenhof.

Okay. Take a break. Pizza's coming.

Mingus?

He's slowly coming your way. Make sure everyone remains silent.

He's coming. If he comes in, hit him with this.

Where does it hurt most?

My heart.

Mom.

-Mark. -Yes?

Soof is unwell.

What do you mean?

She keeps passing out.

She's holding her hand to her chest.

Kees, Abe, a woman in the closet may be having a heart attack.

This could be a serious problem.

Lynn?

-Keep him talking for as long as you can. -Yes.

Officer. I need a doctor here, fast.

-Understood. -Okay.

Hi, Lynn. We're just having a coffee break.

Ah, that's good to hear.

How are you doing?

-Mark? -I'm listening.

I've spoken with Kees.

If it is a heart attack,

we go in full force now.

Only if we're sure, because we will be in serious danger.

Understood, got it.

-Hi. -Hey.

-I need your opinion. -Okay.

Mingus, I have a doctor here.

Hi, Mingus. Is she unconscious or awake?

No, she's awake.

Is the pain spreading out?

-Is the pain spread out? -No.

No.

He's a bit of a pain, you know?

I think he really wants to get back to his wife.

He's kind of worried.

Yeah, I can imagine.

Yeah, and you should be worried too.

You'll have to call his wife and tell her he's not coming home.

Let's not assume that.

Let's just keep talking.

Does she feel sweaty? Are her lips blue?

Yeah. Sweaty, yes, but no blue lips.

Can you feel her heartbeat?

My watch has a heart rate monitor. I can measure it.

Go ahead.

So what do you wanna talk about?

Well, you're asking for a lot of money.

It's not just any amount.

-What are you hoping to do with it? -Huh?

-Do you want a cut or something? -No.

Thanks. I'm just curious.

I just have too many problems, you know?

I can't take it anymore.

-I don't want to keep suffering. -I understand.

Don't you want to talk to someone about that?

There are specialists who can help you.

The time for talking is over, Lynn. Yep.

I've talked to social workers till I was blue in the face.

They just nod along and smile.

They just push you further and further into a corner.

I left there more depressed.

Okay.

Yes. Okay.

Yes.

READING…

Hey, Ammar. Just suppose…

Now, suppose you just walk out of there, very quietly and calmly.

What's the worst that's really happened here?

You want me to turn myself in?

You want me to come outside?

-That's never going to happen. -Why not?

Because I always finish what I've started.

I'm past the point of no return.

Is the heart rate regular?

READING… HEART RATE 117 BPM

Yes. Yes, it's staying the same.

Okay, Mingus. Listen up.

It's just anxiety, a panic attack.

Nothing to worry about.

It's not your heart, okay?

-Sorry. -No.

No reason to be sorry.

Abe, as far as the doctor can ascertain, it's not a heart attack.

I repeat, no heart attack.

Okay, stand down, guys.

You sick fucking bitch!

What was that?

Fuck. My bad.

Lasers off, everyone.

Did you want me to get shot?

-Stand up. I just saw it, didn't I? -Ammar?

Do you think I'm stupid? I saw a green dot.

Huh? What's going on?

I swear.

I'll unload all my bullets on him, got it?

Now listen, Ammar.

You're in there, all prepared, with weapons, explosives, a hostage.

Did you think there'd just be a beat cop standing on the street,

stopping traffic? Come on, man!

Everybody is out there. And yes, they have lasers.

As long as you keep talking, nothing will happen to you.

I promise.

Fuck you, Lynn. Fuck you.

I want a male negotiator. To keep it businesslike.

The next person to call me needs to be a guy.

Here we are again.

SWEETIE WE'RE THINKING OF YOU.

-Does she know what you're doing? -Of course she does.

It's all over the news.

If only our friend in there could have waited two nights.

-That would've saved us a lot of trouble. -Something else would've come up.

It's always this busy, right?

It feels like the world's getting crazier.

They don't tell you that at the job interview.

You don't realize that you won't just be fighting bad guys, but your family too.

Yeah, I lost that battle in a big way a while ago.

You're being dramatic.

But what's it like?

The first month was great.

Just going out, parties, girls.

But after a while, you realize you're missing someone.

Someone who's always there.

Someone to share stuff with.

But anyway.

Look where we are.

For me, it doesn't get better than this. But you…

Take good care of them.

Thanks.

Wow, that's delicious. Thanks, man.

Here.

-I don't think that's wise. -It's too risky.

-Lynn… -I've got him, Wilco.

I've got him.

And he knows it too.

That's also why he's done with you.

Give me an hour.

-Tops. And he'll walk out of that store. -It's way too risky, Lynn.

He's not going to shoot him when he hears me.

-He called me "buddy." -He wants a guy.

What do you think?

I think you definitely have a chance with him.

You did well with the hostage.

You got through to him.

But he's both crazy and not crazy.

He's completely unpredictable.

-And that makes him dangerous. -Right.

I know. He obviously has a history.

He belongs in the mental health system, but he's our problem now.

He needs help, and that's part of our job as negotiators.

Give me an hour.

Half an hour.

Lynn, we can't risk it.

You know that.

What's he saying between the lines? What's he prepared for?

That he won't survive.

Yes?

Ammar, this is Wilco. I'm also with the police.

I'm a colleague of Lynn's, who you spoke with before.

You requested a male negotiator.

And you're a man? Are you sure?

Yes. I'm a man.

A man provides answers.

So? When am I getting what I asked for?

We're doing our best. You know that kind of money takes time.

We have to find 200 million somewhere.

Our financial experts are handling it.

No real answer, no real man.

You know, if you can't do it, just tell me, you know?

But you'll also have to bear the consequences.

Like a man.

You see this, right?

Don't you take me seriously?

Ask what he wants to achieve. You're taking him seriously.

I am taking you seriously, man. What are you trying to achieve?

Listen, if I'm going out, I'll go like a fighter.

Is that what he wants?

Is that what you want? To go out?

Because

then we can stop the money. It would save a lot of time.

It would save a lot of time. This could have been done a long time ago.

So let them shoot me.

Your little bullets won't hurt me.

If I let go, I'll blow up all your little men outside.

It won't keep you up at night. Or Lynn. Nobody will lose sleep over it.

Fuck it.

Let's do a countdown.

Ten, nine, eight…

Get him back to the here and now. Ask what kind of car he wants.

…five…

Ammar, we're working really hard for you.

You want a getaway car. What kind of car?

…one.

I want a limousine.

A limousine? You want a limousine as a getaway car?

You heard me. A black Hummer Limo.

You guys started this. I'm just playing along. Just do it, guy.

You don't want a pink one?

No.

I did think about it.

But get me the black one.

Okay, Ammar. Okay.

A limousine? He was being serious.

Stay on the line.

Instead of water, he asks for a fucking limousine. Such an idiot!

Such an idiot!

Get us some water. A few bottles should be fine.

Okay, Ammar. Okay.

Shut up, or I'll put a fucking bullet in your skull, got it?

Got anything?

-Yeah? -Ammar?

The water is outside the door.

Exactly as requested.

Several bottles.

The robot is backing away.

We won't get any closer.

Are you still there?

We're getting the water.

Don't try anything, or I'll blow the place up.

Just keep talking to me and everything will be fine.

Come on.

Turn around.

Dispatch, we have eyes on the front door.

We're backing off. The snipers have him in their sights.

Yes, we see two men. Standby.

Mingus?

If I say "get down," I want you all to lie flat on the ground immediately, okay?

What's going to happen?

No questions right now, just listen, please.

If I shout "get down," you all do so immediately.

We'll get you out once it's safe. My SIS colleagues will give you a code word.

You can only open the door when you hear that word. Got it?

What is the code word?

iHostage.

No funny stuff, Wilco.

We won't try anything.

Feel free to take it.

No one's going to hurt you.

Let's just remain calm. It's there for you to take.

Get down now! Get down!

What the fuck was that?

Left!

Cover him.

Stay back! Keep the line of fire, stay back!

Get that guy out.

Stay back.

Keep the line of fire.

Stay back, guys, stay back!

Retreat.

-That does not look good. -No.

-Is he even alive? -Dispatch, he's down on the square.

Ammar, can you hear me? Talk to me, man.

I'm still here. Can you hear me?

Alpha, this is Double Zero. Situation at the Apple Store safe for now.

No detonation.

Do not approach until the explosives have been investigated.

Bomb squad, approach the body.

Go get those people out of that closet.

Guys…

Calling all units.

The hostage just ran out of the building, followed by the hostage taker,

who has been hit by an SIS vehicle.

Everyone, please remain in position until further notice. Over and out.

This is going to cause a shitload of trouble, you know.

Great action, man.

Are you okay?

Yeah.

Yes, I think so.

Great reflexes.

I'm glad he didn't blow up.

I think a lot of people want to speak to you.

Can't I just go home?

To Maya and the kids?

Not until tomorrow morning, I'm afraid.

Officer.

-Police. -Police.

Police. Make yourselves known.

Here you go.

-Thank you. -Thanks.

iHostage.

Open up.

Open up.

Not necessary.

Come on out.

You can come out.

-Come on out. -This way.

-It's safe. Come along. -Move along.

-Are you okay? -Are you hurt?

Are you hurt?

This way. Please follow me.

It's over.

This way.

-They're coming out. -Yeah.

Mingus.

You got them through it, man. Excellent job.

You really helped me, too. Thank you so much.

Tomorrow morning, 9 a.m., debrief at HQ.

But first. get some sleep.

If that's even possible.

Hey, don't forget.

While you kept him talking,

we were able to get all those people to safety.

Thanks.

I'll see you tomorrow morning.

Yes.

Please get in, and I'll drive you home.

What the fuck?
