Original subtitles

Get them all back, but nobody leaves. We need statements and IDs, all right?

We're not certain how many. Three at least, one female. They're all wearing

fatigues, ski masks.

We think two of them are Ethan McAdams and Christy Estes, but we can't be sure.

Well, as you know, Tim Estes is in custody.

Well, we're getting witness statements, but, you know, there's a lot of

confusion here.

Handguns, shotguns, at least one semi -automatic rifle.

No, there's no way to tell if they have more. What about the officers assigned

to the campus?

There was a fire in one of the school bungalows. Deliberately set, we think.

All the campus security went in that direction.

As soon as the students were out, they bolted the drawers behind them.

No injuries that we know of, not yet.

Captain, SWAT's pulling up right now. I want a command post set up. Have SWAT

move their people into position.

But they will not, and I repeat, will not take aggressive action without

provocation.

Something's happening.

This is Omega.

My companions are Alpha and Beta. Listen carefully.

We'll contact you with our demands later, but just in case you're stupid

to believe we're not serious, log on to DOJEMC .com.

Oh, God, Hofiger.

Recognize any of them? Yeah.

That's Wes Powell and Madison Grant, his girlfriend.

That's some student. You don't know him.

What is that around the necks?

Looks like some kind of bomb.

That's Principal Ogden.

Audrey Bloomfield.

I'm leaving the room.

I'll be back soon.

While I'm gone, do not remove your blindfolds and no talking.

You disobey and you'll be punished.

You try and get away and you'll be dead.

Wait.

Let the students go.

Okay, you've got a cop.

And the principal.

You've got a cop, you've got the school principal.

We're more than enough.

Yes, she's right. Please let the others go.

Did I give you permission to speak?

That's right.

Who are you?

Matt Lasker.

Yeah, you were in my math class.

Yeah.

You're the one who's always ruining the curve.

Did anybody recognize Alpha's voice?

What about the other people who were in here with us? Anybody know who they

were? You mean the people sitting next to me?

No. They brushed by me as they were being taken out. I don't get it. I don't

understand why he would just take them and leave us here.

I mean, what is he going to do to them?

I don't know.

Officer, what do you think they're going to do with us?

Well, I think if they were going to kill us, they already would have done that.

I don't know. Maybe it's a fake.

Unfortunately, it looks real. So for now, we're just, we're going to sit

Do nothing.

And we're going to trust the people who are outside trying to get us out of

here.

Tell me about the explosives.

Well, we talked to the lieutenant in charge of TAC.

It's hard to tell from the video, but the barrel could easily be filled with

and gasoline, black powder, propane, whatever the case. More than enough

explosives to wipe that room and everyone in it off the map.

And detonation?

Could be by remote, contact, heat, or concussion.

That's not the worst part.

Their best guess is that these tethers that tie the hostages to the bomb work

like a pin in a hand grenade. You pull the pin, it explodes.

So if any of them move far enough to pull the wires out.

Dave Judd's moving.

This is Omega.

Listen carefully to our demands.

First, you will take no action to recapture the school.

I have my finger on the button that will turn this entire place and our hostages

into a pile of burnt ash.

Second, you will deliver to us a city bus with the side and rear windows

out.

Third, on the bus will be $30 million in small, unmarked, non -sequential bills.

Fourth, a commercial passenger jet will be waiting at the airport, gassed and

ready to fly us out of the country.

Fifth, stored on the plane, also gassed and ready, will be three new

motorcycles, dirt bikes.

Once we've arrived at the destination of our choice, the hostages will be

released unharmed.

If our conditions are not met, the hostages will be sacrificed. You have 30

minutes to respond.

They can't be serious. Oh, it's good. That's how it starts.

Our negotiators will use their demands to buy us time, hopefully enough time.

Russell! That's Dom Olansky. That's Russell's father.

What the hell?

Russell, I know you're in there. Please come out if you can.

Please come out or give me a sign.

Get him out of there!

I'll wait here for as long as I have to.

Hold your positions.

Hey, look.

Come on. Get him over here.

You hit? No.

He shot at me.

My own son.

We haven't yet determined who's in there.

Oh, it's him.

Some firearms were taken from my gun safe.

It wasn't broken into. It was woken up with a key, so probably something on

night. What kind of firearms?

Handguns, shotguns, semi -automatics, hunting rifles, ammunition for

Careful. Wait, I just, I want to, I want to see.

Officer?

Stacy. Stacy, do you think that the police will do what Omega said?

I think that they're going to start a dialogue.

Okay. What if that doesn't work, Audrey?

These people are very good at what they do. We're going to be okay. Yes, I know.

But what if Omega doesn't mean what he says?

What if he doesn't mean his demands?

I mean, what if all of this is just garbage?

Why would you say that?

Because those exact same demands that he made were on this old movie that I saw

about a prison ride on cable.

It was called, um, Lockdown.

I saw that movie.

She's right.

Dirt bike.

You sure?

Yes.

Is it possible this is all some sick joke?

Well, the situation is real.

And the weapons are real.

Do you like that movie?

Yeah, I loved it.

Me too.

Can I help you?

Hallie McAdam.

And you didn't need to waste this nice young man's time, even though he is easy

on the eyes. I have a cell phone, and I do drive.

You're Ethan's grandmother.

Very good.

Now maybe somebody can tell me what kind of trouble my grandson is in so I can

get back to kicking Andrea Osborne's butt around the tennis court.

Why don't you come with me?

Love our school.

In school, we study the mass production methods that made America great.

In school, we learn to appreciate the world around us.

In school, we...

Prepare ourselves for the future.

And we look forward to that special day we thank our teachers for the education

they've provided us.

The day we repay our classmates for their generosity.

You seen this before?

No, but I recognize the style.

Ethan's quite an accomplished computer artist.

Ma 'am, I don't know if you appreciate the seriousness of this situation, but

we speak...

Their hostage is tethered to a bomb in Winston High School, okay? Their lives

are in jeopardy. That's horrible.

But your assertion that Ethan is somehow responsible is preposterous. Excuse me,

did we not just watch the same thing? It's a cartoon.

The day we leave our mark on the world.

I think a cartoon is now reality.

Ethan and I both feel we are living in a largely corrupt society.

That makes him angry. Me too.

I release my anger through protests.

Ethan makes videos.

There is no way he would have considered making this video come to life.

So what do we know? Really, Captain, we should just get back.

SWAT's got the scene. We have other work to do. Now, what do we know?

Ethan, Christy, and Tim make a video about a school invasion.

They're outsiders.

They're antisocial. They're angry. I mean, the school's cover -up of

hazing, Tim's expulsion after his truck was destroyed.

What about Ethan? Their friend? Their meter? What else?

Well, the school attendant says that Ethan and Christy were there all day

and somehow they disappeared.

And Russell rips off his dad's gun safe and disappears, too. Except Russell's

two closest friends, Wes and Madison, are hostages. So how does that track?

Look, this whole thing started with Russell and Christy flirting with each

other. So maybe that's back on.

So now we're thinking Ethan and Christy plus Russell? Still doesn't make sense.

That 30 minutes is almost up.

What now?

We keep screwing with their heads.

Can't we just go?

I mean, we did what we came for.

Not yet.

This is too much fun.

Take it back out there and do a sweep, huh?

Hey, Ethan.

Christy. How you holding up?

All right.

I keep telling you guys I didn't do anything.

All I did was help make a video.

It was just a game.

Whatever's happening over at Winston, I don't know anything.

Suppose I said we believe you.

You do?

Well, we'd like to, Tim.

But we also believe that your sister and Ethan have taken the game a step

further. They've taken over the school.

They've got... Guns? They've got explosives?

Christy?

No way. And Ethan.

Tim, all the evidence points in their direction.

What we need to know from you is, is Russell in on it with them?

Russell Olampi? Mm -hmm.

That's crazy.

Didn't your sister and Russell have a thing at one point? No, it was nothing.

I mean, she hates him.

He was just stringing her along. He knew what Tara Madison did, and he didn't

give a damn.

What about Ethan?

Who knows about Ethan?

He wouldn't want to hurt anyone.

Well, who else, Tim?

Three people invaded that school, and to them, it's no game.

We made a video.

That's all.

It was just a game.

Stacy.

How long have you been a police officer?

Um, this is my first week.

Really? Yeah.

Audrey, is that your bag?

Yeah. Is your video camera in there?

Yeah, it's my camera, laptop, it's everything.

Do you have wireless internet access?

Yes, I do.

Okay, we have to get your bag.

It's too far, but we're gonna try because if we can get a video of this

email it to the department Show them where the bomb is. I mean it's gonna

them a huge leg up on saving us The closest

Why don't you just try it with your legs?

How do you sneak a metal barrel full of explosives?

and an armload of guns onto a school campus and keep them hidden from

Bring it in one piece at a time when no one's watching.

After hours.

You know, Sandra Prentiss was working late in her classroom the night she was

killed. She had a key.

Supposedly the school was locked up tight.

Then they had a key too.

But how?

Unless they knew somebody who had all the keys.

Why don't you go home?

We'll keep him for it.

I gave Russell his first rifle on his 14th birthday.

22.

My father used to take me hunting when I was a kid.

So I figured Russell and I, we would...

One day he's a little boy growing up, looking up to me, and then some time

passes and he's looking right through me.

It's as if those years didn't mean anything.

How do you explain something like that?

You can.

Mr. and Mrs. Powell.

Thank you. I appreciate your coming in.

There's no easy way to say this.

We have reason to believe that your son, Wes, may be involved in what's going on

at the school.

Not a hostage.

Do you think he's capable? That's a mistake, Wesley. Come on, he...

As almost an A average.

He was the editor of the school paper last year. He's got a girlfriend.

Everything is... Everything is... A lie.

Ellen. It's all a lie.

We have to face it, Jonas.

We have to.

There are lives at stake.

Seth moved into our guest house when he started high school.

He wanted his privacy.

And that was okay with us.

Well, that was more than okay, because... Well, we were a little

know.

Having him in the house.

Afraid of... What? That he might hurt you?

When Wes was seven, our little girl was born.

Oh, Wes was so angry.

Jealous.

And your daughter?

She died.

The death certificate said SIDS.

But you don't believe it.

I believe it's, um... possible

that Wes...

I did something to her.

I'm her baby.

In answer to your question, Captain, my wife and I believe that Wes could be

capable of anything.

This is Captain McCafferty.

You're the person in charge?

Well, to a certain extent, that's been you up until now.

Mr. Powell, or should I call you Wes?

For your partners, Madison Grant and Russell Olansky.

It was very clever of you, Vidya, of taping yourself as hostages.

Look, I want you to know that we can still work this out.

So that no one gets hurt.

I give you my word.

You've heard our demands.

You have 30 more minutes to comply.

If our transportation to the airport isn't here by then, we will execute

You said they wouldn't find out who we were.

It's a guess. I can't prove a thing. What do we do now?

We go ahead with the plan.

What plan?

This isn't the plan. We were supposed to scare them, light a few fires, and then

get out.

You said they'd blame Christy, Tim, and Ethan.

Okay.

So we move on to plan B.

Hey.

$30 million.

Split three ways.

They're probably fueling our plane right now.

He'll never let us leave.

We might as well just go now while we still can.

Are you the one calling the shots now, Russ?

This isn't a football game.

You got us in an offense. You get us out.

Yeah, I will.

You think about it.

We have six hostages.

They're not going to risk us killing them.

You promised me no one would get hurt.

No one will.

As long as we stay cool.

Okay?

I want to talk to my mom.

I want to talk to someone.

You never wanted to talk to her before.

Madison, you know I'm the only one who really knows you.

Come here.

We can't give up.

I mean, do you really want to spend the rest of your life in prison?

You might as well put Christine and Ethan with the others.

You can't arrest me.

Take these off of me. I didn't do anything.

You lied to the police, Ray.

We figure that the kids holding your school for ransom have a way in that

else knows about.

Nobody except you.

I want a lawyer. Fine.

Tell him to start with you're charged with kidnapping, grand theft auto, and

conspiracy to commit mass murder.

Wait. How many years you been at that school, Ray?

Was it 23?

I figure in 23 years, a man would get to know that school from top to bottom.

The only way Nick Manzara could have had access to one of those school cards,

not to mention the keys, was through you.

You're the key master.

Look at me.

There are people in that school tied to a bomb.

If even one of them doesn't make it out alive, it's on you.

Do you understand that?

Unless you help us right now.

Look, I didn't know what Wes wanted to do.

He gave me a few bucks.

He said he needed to get in to pull a senior prank.

It was just a prank.

I want the bomb squad to see this.

Where'd that come from?

Stay safe in the hostages. From Audrey's computer.

Gets better.

We found a way in.

That must be the door.

What the hell are they thinking these days?

Oh, no.

Enough of this giving them their privacy and their space. I'm going to watch

John like a hawk. He's going to hate me for it.

Oh, forget about it.

You should see Benjamin.

When I open the door to his room without knocking, oh, my God, forget it. Or

when I talk to him about sex or drugs or peer pressure or anything, he's like,

Mom, stop it. You're embarrassing me.

And what do you say?

I sound too damn bad.

My mother has embarrassed me, so I'm gonna embarrass you.

Not much time left, is there? We're gonna be okay.

Sure we are.

You know how it is in the movies. The bad guys are always saying they're going

to start killing hostages. They never do.

Usually.

You thought it was us, didn't you?

Excuse me?

About when you realized that there was a group of crazy kids invading your

school.

You thought it was us.

You're just so angry all the time.

And, Christy, that initiation that you went through... Initiation? I was

tortured.

I know that now.

I'm sorry I didn't do more.

So if we ever do get out of here, this is going to be a pretty cool story to

tell at parties, huh?

Yeah.

Except I don't really go to parties.

I mean, unless it's like my cousin's birthday or something.

Well, maybe I could take you to one sometime.

Thanks for the suggestion, Commander, but you'll act on my signal and not

understood.

Good.

It shouldn't be too long.

You ready to go?

Bomb squad ready?

No, not when the power goes down. When I say.

Now we'll be good.

Back on.

They're coming in. We can't stop them. There's only three of us. We have to let

the hostages go.

Now. No. There are insurance.

Look, they're just trying to scare us, okay?

We just play it out.

Nobody's coming in here as long as I've got this.

Power isn't back on in one minute. Ten minutes.

It's what the power company just promised me.

It was a mistake. Some idiot downtown had a bright idea.

They're counting the money you asked for right now.

I don't panic.

Five minutes.

Madison, you go check the exit doors. Make sure they're still secure. Let's go

check them out.

I'll shoot you.

Okay.

All right, Madison.

Look, I'm putting my gun down, okay?

Here I go.

All right.

All right, okay. All right.

Madison, listen. Shut up!

Don't say anything!

Or you'll what?

Commit murder?

I'll do what I have to do.

You know what?

Wes told me... Wes is lying to you, Madison.

Wes has been lying to you the whole time. No!

Wes is planning on blowing up this entire school and everybody in it.

That's been his plan from the beginning.

No! None of us.

Nobody's going to make it out of here alive unless you let me help you,

Wes said that we were here to make a statement.

We were going to show everyone that they couldn't treat me like that.

When the school told my mom about that stupid hazing, I lost my car, my

everything. Okay.

All right.

Now, Wes and I are going to go away.

Listen, please. Madison, listen to me. There is nowhere to go. There is a SWAT

team and bomb squad. There's an entire city on alert right now, right outside

the school, Madison. You cannot escape. Do you hear me?

Listen to me, honey.

Why don't you just put the gun down, Madison, okay? Just come with me. Come

I love Wes.

Wes wouldn't lie to me. What did Wes tell you about Sandra Brent?

What do you mean?

What about her?

What killed her?

She found him roaming around the school after hours, and he killed her for that.

No,

I'm not lying to you, Madison. Listen to me.

Look at me.

Red wants to die.

Do you want to die?

Do you want to die, man?

Oh, Jenny, the bombs. I know.

Thanks for the pictures.

I'm in the hostage room. It's all clear. I need SWAT, the bomb squad, and the

paramedics. Go.

All right, is everybody okay?

We've got officers on the way up. Just sit tight.

SFPD, drop the weapons.

Drop them.

The bomb squad, SWAT, and about 100 officers are on their way in right now.

the weapons.

Is that the same gun you used to take a shot at your father, Russell?

What?

Maybe that was the same person who convinced Nick Manzarek to shoot at your

girlfriend, Tara.

And send her that note that pushed her to try and take her own life?

Hey, stop!

Drop the detonator!

Drop the detonator, Wes! Drop it!

Wes, no!

Anybody move?

And I press this button and we all go down. Wes, there's no point.

That is the point. You're crazy, man.

Wes, please do what they say. I don't want to die.

Listen, we wanted to make a statement.

Well, I'm about to make an even bigger one. All right, wait.

Wes, wait.

I'm putting my gun down.

Look, it's down, all right? Let's just talk about this.

Let's just talk.

You want to talk?

No, I don't think so.

I'm done talking.

It's all right.

Everybody stay down.

Stay calm, everybody.

Get out.

Stay calm. Hurry up and get in here.

Thank you very much.

Dom, I think Ross wants to tell you the truth.

He didn't know Wes Mitchell really hurt anyone.

All he needs now is a good lawyer.

Thanks.

I'm so sorry.

Thank you.

At least no one else got hurt.

Audrey, are you okay? Yeah. If you're looking for your video camera, it's

evidence.

Um, no, actually, I'm looking for something else. Okay. Thank you so much.

Hey,

no more anarchist videos, okay?

We're just picking in front of city, huh?

Sure.

I'm so glad you're okay.

Man.

Long, Dad.

I'll get the paperwork started.

Don't you have a wedding to get to?

Don't harm all you.

I won't be cruel.

Won't play the fool.

I won't get lost.

Welcome,

friends.

We are gathered here today to join this man, Hank, and this woman, Ginny, in

matrimony. They've each selected a poem that they would like to recite to one

another right now.

I thank you, God, for this most amazing day.

For the leaping, greenly spirits of the trees.

And a blue, true dream of sky.

And for everything which is natural.

Which is infinite.

Which is yes.

You okay?

I made a big mistake, God. I am alive again.

I should never have asked you to choose between the job and me.

This is the birthday.

It's just being selfish.

And alone.

Wing.

It's what you call selfish.

Offering to take care of me for the rest of my life.

Maybe I'm the one who made a mistake. Annie, lifted from the know of all and

nothing. Human being, doubt, unimaginable.

And now, the ears of my ears awake.

And the eyes of my eyes are open.

Ginny.

Promise me.

No promises.

So will I not promise you.

Keep we both our liberties.

Never false.

Never true.

Let us hold the die uncast.

Free to come and free to go.

For I cannot know your path.

And of mine, what can you know?

And fortune is not dead.

You might.

You're late.

Really?

Where's Johnny?

All right. He asked me to marry him.

And?

It just wasn't right, Nate.

Okay. Maybe it was right. It wasn't perfect. I just wasn't in love with him.

Not like that.

Who shall show us?

If it was, thus indeed in time of old.

You okay?

I was so happy when we first got married.

We're still together, babe.

We're still living apart.

I just don't want to put Benjamin through another separation. You know, we

to be sure.

I am sure.

Let us let our love endure.

Nothing more, but nothing less.

And now, by the power vested in me by the state of California, I now pronounce

you husband and wife. You may now kiss the bride.

Bye.

Bye. Bye.

I'm so happy for Ginny.

Gabe, what you said earlier about being sure, I am.

Then let's do it.

Let's renew our vows.

Magda, will you marry me?

Again?

It is the best wedding I've ever had.

I'm so happy for Casey.

I'm really proud of my dad.

People change.

Yeah, I never used to believe that, but I do now.

And guess what?

What?

I love you.

I love you.

Excuse me.

Hello. Hi.

I just want to say it's been a tough year for the

Extet family, you know, losing John.

But now knowing Hank, well, I guess, I know it's been

said before, but I don't feel like I'm losing a daughter, but I'm gaining a

And, uh...

I wish the two of you the happiest life together.

Hey, little girl, get up here. Speak.

Wow.

I am so happy to be here tonight.

My new family and my dad, my brother, and

it's all our friends.

I feel so blessed.

So, here's to the years to come.

To change.

To things remaining the same.

To the future.

To the future.
