Yeah, annoying assholes.

Hey, sweetie.

Hey, my
love. You get there safe?

I did, the train ride was easy,
just a little long. You know.

I can barely hear
you. Am I on speaker?

Yeah. I think I lost my earbuds.

Oh, no. Well, that sucks.

You're telling me.

Why don't you just buy
some new ones, babeche?

Good idea.

I mean, you'll be there for a
while. You'll need some earbuds.

Mm-hm.

Hopefully I find them.

Before I forget, I picked up the
application packet this morning.

What application?

For that apartment.

It's a new building.

They said that if we hurry
and put down a deposit,

we can have first pick.

Deposit. Where's that
money coming from?

Are you upset?

It's all right. I'm just
sad that I lost my earbuds.

Yeah, I get it.

Hey…

- ♪ And I'm feeling… ♪
- Do you hear that?

- ♪ Good ♪
- Yeah.

I miss you already, babeche.

Hi.

Hi, welcome in.

I'm looking for AirPods.

Okay, sure.

- Yes, uh, he will help you with that.
- Okay, thank you.

Mm-hm.

Lukas.

- Hey, um… We ran a diagnostic for you.
- Is it done for?

That isn't it.

You need a battery replacement.

- How can I help?
- Uh, I'm looking for AirPods.

AirPods? Sure. Uh… I
have some in the back.

All right. I got you.

So if you want, we can install
a new battery for you today.

It'll be pretty much
good as new after that.

- How long to install the battery?
- Ten minutes. Promise.

- Sure. Let's do it.
- Yeah?

- Sounds good, just a second.
- Mm-hm.

Mom, don't act like
a Karen, please.

Would you like the latest edition
or the edition before that?

- Uh, latest one.
- Latest one, sure.

- I'll grab it for you.
- Thank you.

You know what
the best part of an all-you-can-eat is?

You always eat enough.

It doesn't cost a lot.

You know what the
catch about it is?

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

And that's how they
get their money.

Yeah, well I'm sticking
to eating salads.

Here you go.

Have a great day.

Welcome in. How can I help you?

I'm sorry, sir, but you can't
leave your belongings there.

Everyone on the ground.

I need you all on the ground.

This is my store now.

Everyone on the ground.

No one leave the building.

Everyone, get down
on the ground.

Nobody leaves here!

I said lay down on the ground!

Nobody's listening.

Go, go.

You
better listen to me!

Are you deaf?

They're running.
No one's listening.

Here. Come on, hurry up.

Everyone stays inside.
Get down on the ground.

Lie face down, now!

Don't run! Hey,
where are you going?

You should make a complaint
to the council, not us.

I hate to be rude, but…

No one
leaves the store. Hey!

Stay inside and no one gets hurt!

- Get down on the ground! All of you, now!
- Follow me, hurry.

Hey!

I see you, stop moving.

I said stop!

- OC, emergency!
- Go ahead, 14-11.

People are
running out of the Apple Store.

Suspected robbery.
Shots have been fired.

- Shots fired?
- Move!

Officers downtown
are requesting backup

from any units in the area
for a suspected armed robbery

at the Apple Store
in Leidseplein.

- Keep running!
- Get inside!

I still don't have eyes on the
situation. There's a lot of bystanders.

Everyone, move away!

Get away, run! Go
inside. Go inside.

Stay inside! Clear the area!

- Stay inside!
- Everyone move. Move! Move!

Listen to
me, and no one gets killed!

You understand?

No sudden movements!

Stay there, get
down. On the ground!

In the closet.

- Come on.
- I'm in charge now.

Nobody goes outside.

Don't
leave! Get back here!

- Hey, you! Move!
- Out of the way, move!

Hands, bro.

Hands.

What?

Put your hands behind your back,
stay down and shut the fuck up, okay?

Okay, don't move.

It's one man. He has a
weapon, camouflage clothing.

Send more units.

OC, he's wearing
an explosive vest.

Stay down, bro.

Jesus.

OC, we're being shot at.
When is our backup arriving?

Close all of Leidseplein
off. Where's the DSI?

Ten minutes out.

- Injured, dead? How many armed?
- We only know of one man.

Robbery, attack, terrorism?
What should I say?

Who should report?

Everyone.

This is Winston.

Yes, understood.

I need a few seconds.

Hey.

Give dad a hug. Mm.
I'll be right back.

I love you guys.

- You'll be back soon?
- You bet.

Okay.

I love you.

I know.

Bye.

Hey.

Be careful.

I will.

Here.

Call for all available units.
Priority one incident at Leidseplein.

Operation instructions
to follow.

14-11, the DSI are on their
way. Stay back and keep cover.

Code silver
on Leidseplein.

Attention all units, do
not enter Leidseplein.

Close off all access roads.

No one is to enter Leidseplein.

I repeat, Leidseplein
is being closed off.

If you're arriving on site, we're
recommending you use Kevlar vests.

- CCTR, can you hear me?
- Yes.

All cameras on the Apple Store.

- I'm on it.
- Stand by.

Excuse me.

- Yeah?
- Kees, it's Karina.

We need you at operation
control ASAP. Shit's hit the fan

Possible hostage situation
in the Apple Store.

I'm on my way.

Checkmate.

Sorry, man, duty calls.

Bro. Bro.

Stand up.

Stand up, bro.

Come on.

Let's take a walk.

I want a negotiator.

I'm ready to talk.

I said go get me a negotiator.

Or I'll blow this
whole block up.

What's your problem?
Stop hiding! Stop hiding!

Fuck.

With me. Come on.

Sit. Sit.

Stay there.

Sir?

Am I gonna die?

You just listen.
Don't talk, okay?

INTAKE + TASKFORCE

112 Police. What's the
location of your emergency?

I'm in
the store right now.

In the Apple Store.

I have demands. I want
to talk to a negotiator.

Sorry, repeat that, who are you?

I'm the hostage taker. Get
a negotiator on the phone.

A mediator. Someone I can
trust. Stop pretending.

I'm dead serious. Get me
someone who can handle this.

- Karina? He's on the phone.
- Don't play with me.

Or this whole place goes up.

Hello? Are you there? Hello!

Yeah. I'm here. I'm here.

You want to speak to a
negotiator, do I have that right?

Yeah, are you fucking deaf?

I want to negotiate.

Just a minute while we
find you a negotiator.

That's good. You have
my number now, right?

You can call me
from now on. Okay?

They're gonna call me back.

What shall we do?

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

We have to be
really quiet, okay?

He doesn't know we're in here so
if we're quiet he won't hear us.

Wait, ma'am. We're all
dead if you open that door.

Mom, we can't leave.

Does anyone have their phone?

It's sitting out there.

Oh, man.

- Can I use your phone?
- Yeah.

112 Police. What's the
location of your emergency?

Hi,
my name's Mingus.

Um, there's a group of us in
a closet in the Apple Store.

There's a man here
with a machine gun.

You said you're in a
closet in the Apple Store?

Where in the store?

The ground floor,
across from the elevator.

I work here. I snuck
people into the closet.

Okay. How
many people are with you?

Four.

Are
you safe in there?

Um…

Mingus?

- Hello?
- No.

Okay. Can anyone see you? Does
anyone know you're in there?

No. The door's locked and it can
only be opened with a key card.

Okay, got it.

And have you seen the
assailants, Mingus?

How many are there?

- Fuck. I think it's just one guy, right?
- Yeah.

Yeah, one. He fired a gun.

But I also saw people run
upstairs, to the Genius area.

Thank you, Mingus,

we know about the people
who escaped upstairs.

They've been in contact
with us already.

The most important thing you can do
now is not attract attention, okay?

Our team is outside.

Just be patient, we're gonna get
this situation under control.

Just give us time.

Leidseplein
is on the left.

Yes, I put it on the left
so you have a nice line of sight.

Zulu has arrived and
we have eyes on the square.

You're good to go in, OC.

We can see the two
officers in the square.

Let's get them out of there.

Hey, they're trapped. They're
pinned down over there.

Uh, 80-14 OC.

Our officers are trapped in front.
They're sitting ducks right now.

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

All
officers are standing by.

OC, the vehicle is heading
toward the Hirsch building.

The situation's stable,
but things could escalate.

Keep everyone as
far away as you can.

Come, bro, come. Come!

Come. Come here. Come on.

Ready?

The officers are
walking alongside the SUV.

Come here.

Don't try anything stupid, okay?

Sit.

Sit.

So they can see you.

My name is Ilian.

I'm from Bulgaria.

Hey. I don't care, man.

Get everyone off
the streets, understood?

Keep 'em on the line.

- Hey.
- Okay, talk to me.

We know that there's a man inside
the Leidseplein Apple Store

with an automatic weapon.

He's fired several
times, but no one's hurt.

Four people have hidden in
a closet on the ground floor

across from the elevator.

As far as we know
he has one hostage,

and there are people
trapped on the floor above.

- There's 40 or 50 of them.
- Okay.

Have they called in? Are we sure
it's not a hostage situation?

Yeah, we have them on the line.

For now they're safe, he
doesn't know that they're there.

- We'll have a problem if he goes upstairs.
- Okay.

Our first priority
is getting them out.

- Comms check. Valerie, can you hear me?
- Yes, Kees. I hear you.

And he's requested a negotiator.

- A negotiator, is that right?
- Yeah.

That's a first for me.

- Where do you want the command center?
- Here.

Have routine updates go to
Zaanstad. We'll run it from here.

The negotiators
will go in there.

His number.

- What's this?
- You have to call him.

The mayor's on vacation and
the commissioner's on his way.

- Now I'm an operator?
- It's what the protocol says.

My concern is the hostages, arresting
this guy and getting them out.

Kees? The DSI's
closing in. One minute.

POLICE

- Comms check.
- Radio check.

- Radio check.
- Winston?

- Hey, who's in charge?
- Double Zero.

Holy shit. Double Zero?

Welcome, Winston.
Sorry for calling you.

Tell that to the wife.

I'll send Maya flowers when
this is all over, deal?

Flowers? You'll need to buy
Keukenhof to make up for this one, chief.

Listen, there's about 40 people
trapped on the floor above the store.

We need to get them
out of there ASAP.

Once we have the floor plan, I want a
tactical analysis. Then we're going in.

Not before.

- Hey.
- Hey.

Team Alpha, prepare for entry.
Bravo and Charlie will take

things over from the
officers on the ground.

We're covering the whole scene.

Priority, evacuate all retailers
and offices. Understood?

Okay, copy.

Guys, we've got to get these
officers out of here. Let's go.

Fall back. Fall back.

- We have the building layout?
- Some floors are missing.

Wait, what floors are missing?

The Apple Store itself.
We can't track them down.

Call America, get us a higher up at Apple.
I want those floor plans now. Understand?

Delta in position.

Echo in position.

Hey, Abe. Glad
you could make it.

Kees, the negotiators
are on their way in now.

Have fun with that.
I'm going to Leidse.

Leidseplein Square
on the left at ten o'clock.

Holding off for now.

Yes, OC, we'll descend slightly
and keep an appropriate distance.

- Okay, Lynn, you're number one.
- What's the situation?

He has hostages, motive unknown.
We think it's just the one guy.

Okay. So is that everything?

You should know that he asked for
a negotiator almost immediately.

He insisted on it.

- Where's our set up at?
- There.

In this circus?

Ugh, I get it, but I
want us all together.

It's the plan, for now.

We're not sure if snipers
can hit him or not,

the glass at the
store is really thick.

Be aware that there are
explosives attached to him.

And he's holding a detonator.

So taking him out from a
distance isn't an option.

This also means letting him leave
with explosives can't be an option.

He needs to come out
without explosives,

or we bide our time, he'll
crumble if we wear him down.

I'll get him out.
Promise you that.

Lynn.

Make it happen.

OC? Double Zero at the scene.

Comms check. Echo, Bravo,
can we evacuate yet?

Check, almost done.

Hey. Everyone ready?

We're just waiting
for the floor plans. Any word?

- Not yet.
- Fuck.

- Is that him?
- Yeah.

- Get to your stations.
- Copy.

LEIDSEPLEIN GRIPPED
BY HOSTAGE SITUATION

APPLE STORE ROCKED BY VIOLENCE

- Wilco.
- Lynn.

- Rachelle.
- Lynn.

Sorry, sir.

Sir?

Sir, I need my medicine.

Why? What medicine?

I need to take it
three times a day.

They're in my backpack.

CALLING…

- Yeah?
- This is Lynn, with the police department.

You asked for a
negotiator, right?

That's right.

Huh?

He wants us to
know who the boss is?

Yes, those.

Thank you.

I really appreciate it.

Sorry, sir?

My hands, they really hurt.

Turn around.

- Thank you. Thank you so much.
- Shut up! Shut up!

Give me your hands. Keep
your hands behind your back.

- Thank you for the medicine.
- I said shut up.

Shut it!

Stay down, and shut the fuck up.

Lynn speaking.

Yeah, hello.

Hi, I'm happy you
called us back.

You asked for a negotiator.

- Isn't that right?
- Yeah, that's right.

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

- Twice already.
- Can I have your name?

That doesn't matter.

Make something up. You're
going to find out eventually.

Okay.

We can talk about anything.

Shouldn't I just tell you
what you can do for me?

Huh?

Isn't that what this
is all about? Right?

- Come on.
- He's coming.

Do you
think I'm stupid, is that it?

Well, I think we
have a situation here

and we should try to
get out of it together.

I
don't have a situation.

You've got a situation. Let me
tell you exactly what I want.

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

Yeah? Okay.

I want 200 million in
Bitcoin and free passage.

200 million?

Yeah. What? You're not
hard of hearing, are you?

No. I
just wanted to make sure

I heard you correctly. I
mean, it's a big sum, right?

It's a big sum?!

Is that a joke? That's nothing to you.
That's pocket change to you people.

Not to me, and as payment
for you've done to me,

200 million is nothing.

I'm letting you off easy.

Listen, I've got enough explosives to
incinerate this plaza, you understand?

I understand, we...

Hung up.

Lay down, stay on the ground.

He said he's going
to blow up the plaza.

Fuck. I shouldn't even be here.

You kept me waiting here
for that fucking laptop.

If you had kept your mouth shut,
I wouldn't even be here now.

Were you helping him?

Hey.

- Yeah?
- Enough.

This won't help us
get out of here.

What are
you talking about?

He wasn't helping him. It
wasn't his fault, all right?

Sir?

Excuse me, sir.

What?

You spoke to the
police just now?

What did they say?

How much money do you want?

A lot.

Okay?

Enough to pay everything.

You know why?

Because they all
tried to fuck me.

The police, the justice
department, the government.

They all tried to fuck
me. My life is over!

They, they ruined
my fucking life!

They all tried to fuck me!

I understand.

But, please, I don't want
to fuck with you, brother.

No.

You won't fuck with me.

But you know why you won't?
If you try something,

I will kill you.

And if they try something,

I will blow up this
whole building.

My brother.

Smile.

What's this?

- How'd we get this?
- It appears he sent it in to AT5 just now.

- Don't let this photo go public, okay?
- Yeah, on it.

Abe, I just
sent you a photo.

- Is the bomb squad there?
- Fuck.

We need to know the
type of explosive.

- Can you get a confirmation?
- Stand by.

Well?

From this photo, they
look like fake explosives.

Fake?

- They won't explode then?
- I wouldn't hinge it on a photo.

- It's not that simple.
- Your advice isn't helpful, as usual.

I'm just
telling you what I see.

Do we know what's in the
other bags he has in there?

No. Why?

Let's say a detonation happens.

And he's hidden
explosives inside them.

- The Apple Store is blown up?
- Not just the Apple Store.

I'd get my men further
back if I were you.

You'll never be me.

You hear that, Kees?

I heard it.

Stop.

That's good.

- Chief.
- Hey.

Okay. I need two plans.

One, get the people upstairs out as
quickly and as quietly as possible.

- Okay.
- Two, we rush in through the ground floor.

He's wearing explosives.

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

We know he has one hostage

and four people are holed up

in a closet on the
ground floor behind him.

He doesn't know?

Not yet.

I'm sorry.

I was just trying to help
you. I had no idea that...

No, it's okay.

None of this is your
fault, I know that.

I'm sorry that I
said it. I was angry.

My name's Mingus, by the way.

Lukas.

I'm Bente.

I'm Soof.

And this is my…

…daughter.

So, Mingus, do you have kids?

Yeah, a son.

Nigel, he's really…

He's a great little guy.

We were gonna see Ajax tonight.

How about you?

- Any kids?
- No.

I've got a great girlfriend,
but, um… It's just, uh…

Yeah, it's a bit complicated.

Tonight we had plans
to get dinner together.

She's probably
wondering where I am.

We'll have
another fight now.

- Hello?
- Mingus, this is Mark.

I'm with the police.

I'm going to be your contact
person from now on, okay?

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

Okay.

How is everyone holding up?

We're all
right. Just scared.

He must have hostages right?

If he didn't, you guys
would have gone in by now.

Yes, we're in contact with him.
Negotiators are working with him now.

We're doing our best to get this
over with as soon as we can, Mingus.

We're setting aside this line
for you to call, but stay quiet.

Okay.

I hope he doesn't
know we're in here.

I don't think he does,
as far as what we can gather.

And there's music in the
store, so that helps.

Shit.

Not for long.

Why'd you say not for long?

The music turns off at
closing time, at nine o'clock.

And the alarm goes off if
there are people inside.

Okay.

Do you know if there's a way to keep
the lights and music on for longer?

The security's automatic and
they run it from America.

Okay, I'll look into it.

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

Don't use anything that
could use up battery. Okay?

Okay.

Kees, we need to contact Apple.

The security
system's on a timer.

So the lights and music inside will
shut off and the alarm will trigger.

Is the money ready?

Listen, there's a chance that you're
going to lose the lights and music.

Normally the store closes now,

since you're walking around, it
could set the alarm off, all right?

But that's not us, okay?

It happens automatically,
just know it's normal.

Come. Come. Come on. Get up.

Stay calm. This
whole block will go up in flames.

Don't lie to me, Lynn.

Don't lie to me, okay?

I'm not lying to
you. You can trust me.

It's automatic security. Just keep
talking to me when it goes off.

- Please don't.
- You have to trust me.

Don't do this, sir.

It happens every night.
We don't control the alarm.

Sorry, can you tell us what
happens to the lights after nine?

It's just the
lights and the music.

It's an automatic system. We
have no control over the alarm.

I'm married, sir.

Please don't do this.

Don't do this, sir.

Please. Please don't do this.

Please.

The alarm system will activate,
don't move in, hold your positions.

Everyone stay on
alert, something might happen.

OC. We're keeping
a safe distance.

Stay with me, okay?

Everything is okay. Stay
calm. Nothing is gonna happen.

The lights are on.

And no alarm. You lied.

I didn't, I was
telling you the truth.

I don't...

Shit.

What the hell, Kees, you have me
lying? I'm trying to gain his trust.

Please hold the line. Kees!

Apple took care of it. The
music and lights are staying on.

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

Okay, great. And
the floor plans?

There's a separate department that
holds all the floor plans. Protocol.

It could be minutes, couple of
hours, they'll get back to us.

- They're doing their best.
- We've got the feed from the store.

Can you call him back?

I don't think he trusts
you. After that call.

I can gain his trust back.

- Yeah?
- Hey.

You holding up all right?

Why wouldn't I be?

Well, you hung up on me.

You
lied. I don't like that.

That's fair. I'd feel the same way. I'm
going off the information I get here.

They said that after nine,
you'd lose lights and music.

- That you'd set off the alarm.
- Hm.

I thought it'd be better
if I let you know.

In case you got scared.

Okay.

Is my money ready yet?

I can confirm that we are working
really hard to get it done.

I want it in Bitcoin, okay? You
do know what a Bitcoin is, right?

Yeah, of course I know.

Hey, I, uh, I'm just realizing you…
you never told me what your name is.

I mean, it just
feels so impersonal.

Double A. From now
on call me Double A.

Okay, thank you.
Double E, cool name.

No, wait. Not… No, no,
no, no, no, no. Not E. A.

Double A, are you deaf?

A as in angels. Double A.

Did you forget English?

No, I can still speak English.

Despite being born
right here in Amsterdam.

How about you,
are you from here?

Yeah, the way you speak.
Sounds like you're from here.

Listen, it's not about me.

This is about you and what
you can do for me, understood?

We'll talk about resolving this.

I really hope we can work together
and come to an agreement, Double A.

Oh yeah?

Who says I want to resolve this?

Well, I assume that you want
to. You want something, right?

What
I want is simple.

200 million in Bitcoin
and a way out of here.

Then this can be over.

And what are you thinking,
Double A, for a way out of there?

What's the plan?

A fast luxury car, and
free passage to the A10.

To the A10?

Then what?

You make a promise that after
we leave nobody will follow us.

- We'll make a clean getaway.
- We?

Me and my friend here.

Your friend?

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

He's coming.

Once I'm safe and you're not
following me, I'll let him go.

Listen.

You've been in
there a while now.

You must be getting hungry
or thirsty, or maybe he is?

I gave him a drink. It
was for his medicine.

Oh, that's very nice to hear.

Thanks for looking after him.
What kind of medicine was it?

Your medicine.

- What is the name of your medicine?
- Lisonopril. For my heart.

Okay.

Aren't you concerned for him?

Since he's so sick?

You should be concerned
for him instead.

Deliver on what I want, and
we'll all get out of here.

My friend here, he
doesn't look that sick.

The pain is in his heart. You
can't see it on the outside.

Yeah, all the more
reason to get my money.

Otherwise, it'll take even longer
and if something happens to him then,

that's your fault then, friend.

My fault? That's
a stretch there, friend.

I'm not the one who stormed in
with weapons and took a hostage.

That was you.

Yeah, okay. Good point,
I'll give you that.

Kees?

EMPLOYEES AND CUSTOMERS
ARE TRAPPED UPSTAIRS

Oh, God.

IN THE CANTEEN. STAY
TUNED FOR UPDATES!

What's their location?

I assume it's from someone
upstairs in the Apple Store.

It's already posted on
websites and socials.

Shit.

Abe, report.

I'm listening.

There's an idiot who just
posted on social media

that people are
trapped upstairs.

Shit.

Getting people out
is our top priority.

If he finds out those
people are upstairs…

Then we'll have 40 more
hostages' lives put at risk.

Get them out of there.

It's risky, but let's go in now.

Get those posts taken
down as soon as possible.

Understood.

Get me the network providers.

What the
hell's taking so long?

- Mingus?
- Yeah.

Listen. We're doing our best
to get the store's floor plans,

but we don't have them yet.

We have to go in now to get
the people upstairs to safety.

Is there a quick
way to get upstairs?

The rear exit, because
it's also connected to next door.

You can get to the
other building.

You can cross over to the back.

I can create a map
of where it is.

Incredible. Please do.

- Send it ASAP if you can.
- Right.

What are you doing?

I got it.

Hey, guys, gather around.

We're about to enter via the
south side of the Hirsch building.

We know there's an armed tango downstairs.
We don't know if he's acting alone.

There are 40 sierras upstairs.

We gotta get them out. Quietly.
This is the situation, got it?

Stay focused in there, okay?

Let's go.

Lynn, keep him on
the line, okay?

Everyone, DSI's going in.

Ma'am, this is serious,
I need you to...

Kees.

Intake four.

The girl who posted that message
refuses to remove it, I've tried.

Who is she?

Some influencer who insists I
call her the "opinion maker" now.

Call her back.

Yeah, Kees van Zanten. General
Commander of the Amsterdam Police.

Did you mention people in
the Apple Store in a post?

You have no idea how many innocent
lives are at risk because of you,

you stupid little shit.

My patience has run thin.

If that post isn't down
in the next ten seconds,

I will personally send an arrest team
to drag you out of your apartment

with a sack over your
goddamn stupid head!

Is that clear to you?

Is it clear or not?!

Okay, do it then!

I'm curious.

What happened today that upset
you? And caused you to do this?

Okay,
tactical formation.

Don't you get it? It's
not about what happened today.

It's been happening for a while.

The injustice you have constantly
subjected me to, that's what it's about.

Okay.

You know all about it.

It's all of you and your
infamous Bermuda triangle.

NVGs.

The public
prosecutor, the police, the law.

- Get ready.
- You've abused me.

You handcuffed me, you threw
me on the floor in a cell.

You have wronged me.

One day it has to stop.

Finally, that day has arrived.

That's why I've demanded
the money from you.

I want you to pay me off.

And I'll go away. Since I
don't matter to anyone anyway.

No one here cares.

But I do matter, just watch me.

- Okay, friend?
- I'm listening.

I'm working hard to
get the money. I swear.

You have no choice, though.

Or are you trying to
say you care about me?

You'll be going home after this, to
your boyfriend, your child, whatever.

I want you to stay
alive and you do matter.

There are people
who care about you.

I'm sure of that, and they want to
see you come out of this unharmed.

I care about you.

About getting you
out of there safely.

Double A.

It's Ammar.

Okay.

Ammar.

Thank you.

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

But also for the man in there.

That man who's with you.

He doesn't have anything to do
with this, he went to the store

looking for something to buy.

He must be terrified
too, don't you think?

What's your play?

I'm not playing games.

I just want to know
how he's doing.

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

Bus driver. You said you
remembered him from the bus?

Date of birth? April 21st '95.

Ma'am, I'm connecting you to
an officer, don't hang up.

Take over. 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.

He suffers from
psychiatric problems.

That's him.

You're watching, right?

Yeah.

I am. We have access
to the cameras, Ammar.

I can see you.

Then you'll see what happens
if my bitcoin isn't delivered.

What I've seen so far is
that you're looking after him.

That's really nice.

It's kind of you, Ammar.

You even gave him a cigarette.

It seemed to… to
help him calm down.

Yeah, yeah.

He's only…

He's only human.

I agree with you.

Yeah, right.

Exactly, he's only
human, like you and me.

You can open it.

Go. Police. Police, get back.

Hands on your head.

Hands on your head. Back up.

Bravo for Double
Zero. Space is clear.

No tangos, only sierras.
Standby for evac.

Move. Keep it
moving. Okay, clear.

I'm done talking for now, Lynn.

She talks too much. She's
giving me a headache.

- Mingus?
- Yeah?

Those people are safe. We were able
to get everyone out of the upper floor.

You made that happen,
Mingus, so thank you.

- We're working hard to get you out, okay?
- Okay.

Mark, how long is
this gonna take?

We're doing our very
best, Mingus. Trust me.

They're still working on it.

Great work,
team. Thank you.

Get the boys together. There's coffee
and we've ordered a hundred pizzas.

- How are the negotiations going?
- He's totally unpredictable.

It's gonna take a while.

Don't worry, I'll
buy the Keukenhof.

Now, take a break.
Pizza's coming.

Is that yours?

That's my wife.

Wanna talk to her?

You're not Bruce Lee.

It's so hot.

You know, my wife wants
me to buy an apartment.

Which we can never afford, so…

I'm here to work.

A couple of months.

I earn some money.

It's not enough, but…

but I love her.

And if she wants that apartment…

I will do my best,
you know, for…

for her, for us.

She's so worried right now.

Don't you have someone
who's worried about you?

I'm not worth worrying about.

It's my own fault.

I could also get a gun.

Go in a store and
take someone hostage.

But it will always be the
wrong hostage. Always.

Someone who doesn't deserve
to be so scared, or killed.

I didn't deserve to be
treated the way I was.

I understand that.
I know the feeling.

They treat you like shit.

The government.

You pay everything
they want you to pay.

But still they come after you
with all these extra taxes.

And you end up having nothing.

I know that.

Here…

Here, I'm nothing.

But somewhere, with
that money, I am…

I will be like a king.

I will help people who are
in the same situation as me.

I will be like, like
a Robin Hood king.

You know Robin Hood, right?

I'll see if that
money makes me happy.

I'm honestly afraid that
you'll never make it.

They might shoot you.

This is probably the worst
place you could have picked.

I'm not afraid.

I have you.

You have me, yeah.

But let's say they won't
give you the money.

You'll kill me, and then what?

Then they win.

And they will lose.

Do you want coffee?

Sure.

Mingus?

He's slowly coming towards you.
Make sure everyone remains silent.

Shh! Mom, stay still.

He's coming. Hit him with
this if he comes in. Okay?

Where does it hurt?

My heart.

Mommy. Mom.

- Mark.
- Yeah.

Soof isn't doing well.

What's wrong?

She's fading fast.

Her hand's over her breast.

My girl…

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

This could be a serious problem.

Lynn?

- Call him and keep him talking.
- Yeah.

Officer. We need to get a
doctor over here. Right now.

- Yes. Understood.
- Okay.

They need you there.

Hi, Lynn. We're
on a coffee break.

Ah, that's good to hear.

How you holding up?

- Mark?
- I'm listening.

I've spoken with Kees.

If it's a serious heart attack,

we're going in immediately.

But only if it's life-threatening,
because my men would be at serious risk.

Understood, got it.

- Hi.
- Hey.

- Help give us a diagnosis here.
- Okay.

Mingus, I have
a doctor here with me.

Is she
unconscious or awake?

She's still awake.

Is it radiating pain?

- Is it radiating pain?
- Nah-ah.

Shh.

No, it isn't.

He's becoming a
problem, you know?

He really wants to get back
to his wife. He's scared.

He's worrying more and more.

Yeah, I can imagine.

Yeah, well you
should be worried too.

Sooner or later you'll
have to call his wife

to tell her her husband's
not coming home.

Let's not go there just yet.

We're still talking
this through.

Is she sweating?
Are her lips blue?

She's sweating, yeah,
but her lips aren't blue.

Can you
feel her heartbeat?

The Apple Watch is equipped with
a heart monitor. I can measure it.

Go ahead.

What exactly are we
talking through, Lynn?

Oh, well. All the
bitcoin you want?

It's not just any amount.

What were you hoping to do?

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

Thanks. I'm just curious.

There's no way
out of my problems.

I won't turn back.

- I can't keep suffering.
- We have support.

Have you thought of talking
to a professional about it?

There are specialists
that can really help.

The time for talking
is over. Yeah.

I've had enough shit social workers
pretend to care about me, all right?

Just nodding along and smiling.

They just push you further
and further into a corner.

I leave more depressed
than when I got there.

Okay.

Thanks.

READING…

Hey, Ammar. I had an idea.

Let's say that you walk outside,
nice and slow, and calm.

Imagine that happened.

The worst was over,
you're relieved.

No fear of what could happen.

You want me to give
up and surrender?

You want me to come outside?

- That's never going to happen.
- Tell me why.

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

Yeah, a normal heart rate.

Okay,
Mingus. Thank you.

She's suffering from
anxiety, a panic attack.

Nothing to worry about.

It's not your heart, okay?

- Sorry.
- Don't be.

Don't worry, it's okay.

Abe, the doctor just talked
to them over the phone,

and it's not a heart attack.

It's not
a heart attack.

Okay, stand down, men.

Fuck you, you lying bitch!

What was that?

Fuck.

My bad, Double Zero.

I need all lasers off.

Did you want me to get shot?

- Stand up. Now I know what you're up to.
- Ammar?

Do you think I'm stupid or something?
I saw a green dot on my body.

Hey. What's going
on, what's wrong?

Lynn, I swear.

I'll empty this
whole clip into him.

Listen carefully now, Ammar.

You're in the store, and you're
the one who set all of this up.

Weapons, explosives, a hostage.

You had to know the response.

Did you think there'd be a
neighborhood cop standing on the corner

stopping traffic?

Come on, man!

There are all kinds of things
outside. Yes, they have lasers.

But nothing is going to happen
as long as we're still talking.

I promise. Okay?

Fuck you, Lynn. Fuck you.

Go get me a man to negotiate
with. This is business.

The next call I get
better be from a man.

Back together again.

HONEY WE'RE THINKING OF YOU.

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

It's all over the
news. She's not stupid.

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

- I wouldn't have to be here.
- Nah, something else would've come up.

It's not letting
up any time soon.

It seems like the
world's getting crazier.

They don't tell you
that at the interview.

The fighting never ends.

It's not just the bad
guys, but your family too.

Yeah, unfortunately for me, I
lost that battle a long time ago.

So dramatic.

How'd that pan out?

The first month was
great.

Going out every
night. Parties, girls.

Yeah?

It doesn't take long

to realize what
you're missing out on.

Someone who's always there.

Someone to share your days with.

Ah. Enough of that.

Look where we are.

It doesn't get any
better than this.

My advice though…

don't take it for granted.

Nice. Pizza. Just
what we needed.

Thanks, man.

- Here.
- Thanks.

- Well, I think we have to.
- Yeah, I agree.

- Sounds good.
- All right.

- Lynn…
- I've got him, Wilco.

I've got him.

And he, he knows it too.

And that's precisely why he
won't talk to you anymore.

Give me an hour.

- And he will walk out of that store.
- Sorry, it's way too risky.

He's not going to shoot
if I'm on the phone.

- He calls me "friend."
- Lynn, he wants a man.

What do you think?

I think you definitely
have a chance with him.

You did well with the hostage.

You really dug deep.

But he's crazy and not crazy.

This guy's completely
unpredictable.

- And therefore, he's dangerous.
- Yeah.

That's very clear. He
has a history of illness.

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

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

Give me an hour.

Then half an hour.

Lynn, we can't risk
that he'll spiral.

You know the deal.

You can read between the lines.

What's he really planning?

That he won't survive.

Yeah?

Ammar, my name's Wilco.
I'm from the police.

I work with Lynn, who
you were speaking to.

You requested a male negotiator.

I'm speaking to a
man? Are you sure?

Yes. I'm a man.

A man delivers, right?

- So? When can I get what I asked for?
- We're doing our best.

But you know that kind of money
isn't so readily available.

We need to see where
we can get 200 million.

Our financial experts
are handling it.

That's not a real answer,
so you're not a real man.

Yeah.

If you can't do it, all
you have to do is tell me.

Then you'll face
the consequences.

As a man.

You see this, right?

Are you taking me seriously?

Find out what his motivation
is. Show you think he's serious.

I'm taking you serious, as a man.
What do you want from all this, Ammar?

Listen, if today's the day I
die, then I'll die fighting.

Is that what he's after?

Is that what you
want? To die today?

Because, um…

I'll stop trying to get
this money together then.

It would save a lot of time.

You're right,
it'll save a lot of time,

because instead of getting it done,
you're stalling. Let them shoot me then.

I won't feel any pain anyway.

You see this?

If I set it off, then all your
little snipers outside will blow up.

You don't care about me,
Lynn doesn't care about me,

nobody cares about me.

Fuck it.

Start the countdown.

Ten, nine, eight…

Take him to the here and
now. Okay, get him back.

Ask what kind of car he wants.

…five…

Ammar, we're working
hard for you, like I said.

As far as your getaway car.
What type of car do you want?

…one.

I want a limousine.

L-limousine? You want a…
limousine as a getaway car?

You heard me. I want
a black Hummer Limo.

You guys started this game.

I'm playing along now, get
what I ask for, asshole.

Why not fuchsia?

No.

That's a color I considered.

But black is better.

Okay, Ammar. Okay. Okay. Okay.

A limousine? He's being serious.

Stay on the line.

A limousine?

If we go, we go in style.

Ask for some water, please.

Ask for some water.

I have Red Bull.

No, that's not good
for my heart, man.

They have to do what you want.

You're in charge.

Ask for some water.

Instead of water, he wants
a shitty black limousine.

You idiotic fuck!

You idiot, that's enough!

Ask for some fucking water.

Or just shoot me.

I need water for him now.
A few bottles of water.

Okay, Ammar. Okay.

Thank you.

I just know they have
to listen to you.

Watch your mouth, or you'll get a
fucking bullet through your head, okay?

Has it been delivered?

- Yeah?
- Ammar?

The water's ready for you.

As requested.

Several bottles.

The robot is backing up now.

We will stay away.

Ammar, are you still there?

We're coming to get the water.

Don't try anything,
or the place goes up.

I know
nothing's gonna happen.

Remember, if you keep talking
to me, you'll be fine. Promise.

Turn around.

Get up.

Turn around.

Stand up.

Go. Go.

Stop.

OC, we've got
eyes on the front door.

We're going to back off a little more.
The snipers have him in their sight.

Yes, we see two men
at the door. Stand by.

Mingus?

The moment I say "get
down," immediately drop

and get your face down
on the floor, okay?

What… What's going on?

Mingus, just know you'll be fine,
okay. Trust me and do what I say.

If I shout "get down," you all
need to lie down immediately.

Once it's safe, we
will come and get you.

Officers from the DSI
will give you a code word.

Once you hear that, and only then, you
can open the door. Do you understand?

What's the code word?

IHostage.

Nothing crazy, okay, Wilco?

We won't do anything.

Take the water, Ammar.

No one's going to hurt you.

We'll stay back. You
can just grab it.

Go get it.

Pick it up.

I can't, man.

I can't.

Fucking hell.

Get down. Get down now!

Disarm the bomb, now!

What the fuck was that?

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

Get out of there.

Stay back!

Hold the line of fire!

Stay back, men, stay back!

It's not great. I
wonder if he's still alive.

- That wasn't good.
- OC, he's lying in the square.

Ammar, can you
hear me? Say something.

I'm still here. Can you hear me?

Alpha, it's Double Zero. Situation
at the Apple Store safe for now.

Guys, no one goes
near that tango

until the explosives
have been investigated.

Bomb squad, approach the body.

Hey, you guys, get the
fuck away from him.

Guys…

Attention all units in the area.

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

He's been hit by a DSI vehicle.

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

This is going to make a shitload
of noise after what happened.

But great work, brother.

Are you okay?

Yeah.

Yeah, I think so.

Great reflexes.

I'm glad he didn't explode.

I think there are a lot of
people who want to speak to you.

Can I just go home?

To Maya and the kids?

I'm afraid not until
tomorrow morning.

Sir?

Are you hurt?

It's okay, it's over.

Sorry.

Sir, it's okay. You're safe now.

- Am I?
- Yeah. I promise.

I'm gonna take you to
the police station, okay?

Let's go.

Medic.

Police. Police.

Show yourselves.

Back here, guys.

Here. Your phone.

Thank you.

iHostage.

Open the door.

Open up, this is the police.

Stand down.

Come on out.

Exit slowly please.

- Go ahead. It's safe.
- This way.

Go ahead. Come on.
That way. It's okay.

Is everyone okay?

Is anyone hurt?

This way. Come with me.

Don't worry, it's over.

This way.

Heading outside now.

Mingus.

You pulled everyone
through, man. Great job.

You helped get those people
out. We really appreciate it.

Tomorrow morning at nine,
debriefing. Main office.

Go get some sleep first, hm?

Easier said than done.

Hey, don't forget.

While you kept him talking,

it bought everyone time

to get those people out
of that building safely.

Thanks.

I'll see you tomorrow morning.

Yeah.

Watch your step. I'll
get you home soon, okay?

What the fuck?
