A "loudmouth jackass." Can you believe that?

Mm-hmm. I close out a case that nobody else could,

Very disrespectful.

Jook. It's Chinese rice porridge with fish lumps.

"Fish lumps"?

It's an active shooter situation.

Find out everything you can.

He spent a few years in our division before going full-time

into crisis negotiation.

He's a good guy,

and he'll talk some smack.

- "Talk smack"? - Yeah, smack.

Trash talk. Saying terrible things

- to people you like. - That looks like

Detective Carter, but...

he isn't talking... must not be him.

That unwrapped mummy in a uniform

I've been better. Uh, Holt, this is my partner,

Detective Lee.

- Detective Lee. - Lieutenant. You are ugly.

He's new here.

So, what's the situation?

After the captain's call, patrol units showed up

and found a black tie crowd running for their lives.

Turns out they were inside the concert hall

when the first shots were fired,

but they managed to get themselves out

before the gunmen could seal off the building.

It sounds like we got at least four gunmen.

But they seem disorganized,

- sloppy. - Any more word from Cole?

We lost contact.

Maybe there's a way to slip a man inside unnoticed.

I mean, Lee and I could...

Easy, Carter. Now, you know the protocol.

You do not make a move until the S.O.C. arrives.

Well, he's the most experienced man we have.

He's a stubborn,

Was that you talking smack?

Yeah. Did I get it right?

No.

Was there something else you needed from me?

Just a piece of information I wanted to run by Holt.

Anything you want to run by him you can run by me.

We believe these men are more organized than they appear.

They targeted specific hostages and let others escape.

Their hand signals suggest military training,

and they may be planning

on a specific time table,

in a few hours, possibly through staircases.

And how did you determine this?

We spoke to some of the concertgoers,

You spoke to some witnesses?

giving you an order to speak to witnesses.

You've handled, uh, what, 50, 60 hostage standoffs,

Well, I have.

And I can assure you

this situation is under my complete control.

We've got eyes on every possible exit point.

Here's how this one plays out.

These gunmen are gonna

establish contact and state their demands.

My expert negotiator

will listen sympathetically to these demands,

and then we wait, while they slowly succumb to exhaustion,

and then pathetically stumble out the front door to surrender

without a single shot being fired.

Yes, sir.

We have a witness who... will prove you wrong.

So many police!

Uh, but they didn't see me, because I hid.

I'm very crafty.

But I did hear them say that they

would run the staircase for a few hours,

The best demands

are for things I can't deliver.

See, if they ask for an ice cream cone,

we can get it for them,

but that's not the end of it,

to exit the building,

offer small concessions,

dragging it out hour by hour,

until they fade and eventually give up.

Cole looked panicked... and she never panics.

She looked me right in my eye.

Detective, I'm gonna have to ask you to leave.

Any more interference from you clowns,

Now you can go.

COLE: "Jor-gay" Ramirez?

I'm not saying I'm fluent in Spanish.

God, I lived in South America; I know dialects.

If you valued a man's freedom

enough to risk your life to spring him out of jail,

then how could you not know how to pronounce his name?

Those demands were all a smokescreen.

They...

They're after something else.

It's about her.

Explain to me again why you're having me look into

every single hostage in that building

when the gunmen have clearly stated what they're after?

'Cause I'm not buying it, all right?

If they gave 24 hours for their demands,

then why was Cole looking panicked and tapping her watch?

And I still can't shake what that old man said about...

- "running the staircase." - Staircase? What staircase?

I don't know, all right? But these gunmen

are after something else, and we need to find out what.

Okay. Well, based on the info I could pull together,

other possible targets amongst the hostages are

- a former U.S. diplomat... - Of which country?

- Canada. - No.

And... a few other people with net worths ranging

from six to ten million dollars.

We've got an Israeli violinist, a medical malpractice attorney,

and one unknown... whoever grabbed the corporate seats

for the firm J. Pickering Energy International.

- Wait. Say that name again? - Pickering.

Okay, she stopped typing.

Right after "teddy, Peanut...

Pickle ring."

Pickle ring!

No, it's Pickering.

No, it's Pickle ring. Carter,

I'm sure on this... the company's name is Pickering.

- It's the office building down the street. - No, look at this.

What am I looking at?

Did the person who sent this have a stroke?

That is a text message from Captain Cole.

- Sent from the inside. - Yeah. We got jumbled,

gibberish, nonsense words, and then "Pickle ring."

Although, maybe we shouldn't completely rule out stroke.

But for now, Pickle ring.

Okay. If this is the lead you guys want to pursue,

I've got an idea where you can start.

You just make it happen.

Who the hell told you you could just walk into my office?

Your secretary. She said, "Go on in."

SECRETARY: I said, "Don't go in."

Then that's my mistake. I heard different.

Uh, Detectives Carter and Lee.

LAPD.

And you must be Pickle ring.

It's Pickering.

Bet autocorrect has a tough time with that, huh?

CARTER: Like when my captain tried to text me your name

from inside a music hall filled with hostages.

(phone ringing)

Things seem pretty busy around here for a Sunday evening.

Look, if you don't have a warrant to be here,

you need to leave. Now.

Mr. Pickering,

is that your daughter?

Yes. Megan.

I see she plays classical viola.

Would you mind telling us where she is tonight?

She, uh...

she goes to school in Switzerland.

See what he did there?

He answered a question, just not the question you asked.

Mr. Pickering, where is she tonight?

As in now.

I was just doing what they told me to do.

Mr. Pickering, could you please tell us

what happened to your daughter?

They told me if I went to the police they'd kill her.

Megan's in town for a few days...

she wanted to see some famous cellist.

I guess she posted it on Facebook.

I always send her out

with a full security detail, but Megan hates it.

She begged me to scale back, so...

I let her go with just two guards.

I should never have agreed to it.

What did they ask from you?

20 million in a numbered Austrian account.

I'm working to collect the funds now.

20 million? You're able to produce that on short notice?

Yes. And anyone who knows me

knows that I would give anything I had

- to keep my daughter safe. - Of course.

But we need you to come downstairs and tell

another officer what you just told us. No, no, no,

I can't. No, they-they said no police.

If you give these gunmen what they want, they'll just...

I said no.

I should never have said anything.

And I'm not saying anymore.

As far as I'm concerned,

this little conversation here never happened.

Now, get out of my office!

Who is this man in the yellow hat, dude?

He takes a monkey into a bakery

and just leaves him there.

And then he decides all of a sudden

that he wants to go run errands.

Are you kidding me?

He did the same thing last episode.

Oh, well, I'm just gonna leave Curious George

in a pizza parlor.

I hope he doesn't bite anybody.

Curious George doesn't bite.

Yeah, yet.

But you just wait until he feels backed into a corner.

Oh... those teeth gonna come out. (snarls)

He's just really curious.

Yeah, he's also carrying the Ebola virus.

Maybe. I don't know, I was just guessing.

It's just frustrating.

I will give him that.

Please, sir, you have to let me go.

Several, actually.

Really bad.

I meant us.

She has conditions, too.

Could I just, um, stretch my legs

for a minute?

Just for a few steps?

We've been in here for hours.

Thank you.

Uh-uh.

LEE: Pickering may not talk, but we know

there is more going on inside than anybody thinks.

If we take what we've learned and bring it to Taymor...

He'll arrest us before we even get a chance to talk.

And even if he does let us talk, we can't prove any of this.

But we have to do something.

Yeah. We do.

Lieutenant Holt,

I need your help.

(sighs heavily)

You.

Sit down.

So, what happened tonight?

I...

don't know what you mean.

Well, let's see, I guess what I mean is...

that I saw your picture in the duffel bag

of a gunman who I had to knock out

with a bottle of champagne to the head.

(chuckles)

That was totally Die Hard of me, wasn't it?

(chuckles)

I'm like Bruce Willis,

- but... with highlights. - (laughs)

They tried to grab me when I was getting a tour backstage.

My two guards tried to fight them off, and...

I ran.

I didn't mean to put anyone else in danger.

It's not your fault.

You couldn't have known.

We gonna be okay?

There's no doubt in my mind.

(sighs)

Lieutenant Carter, you were told to stay out of this.

Okay, Holt, I need you to back off

- this chain-of-command bull! - I don't give a damn what you need!

You were given a direct order

by the S.O.C., which you have so brazenly disregarded,

you have officially now pushed me too far.

Thomas! Jenkins!

- Yes, sir. - If you're not gone

by the time those men get over here,

I'm telling them to place your ass under arrest.

So much for putting your trust in a friend.

We're on our own.

If Pickering pays the ransom,

the gunmen will make their exit, and, as Holt said...

That's when nerves kick in.

Gunmen get jittery and hostages die.

But no one's listening to us, so what are we supposed to do?

Sneak through the police barricade,

get inside and stop them.

Lee! Are you doing me right now?

Because you're suggesting the not-so-legal thing

- I usually suggest. - Usually, I would disagree,

but in this case, Captain Cole asked for your help.

She gave you an order.

Yeah, an order to disobey a bunch of other orders.

Okay, it's kind of a gray area,

but if we have to make a choice, I say we follow our captain.

I'm liking this side of you.

Don't get used to it; it's a one-time deal.
