Hello.
Hey.

Let me put up my monitor.

I'd like to withdraw
$25 from my account.

Big bills.

Yeah, I prefer big bills too.
Yeah.

Do you have a paper
I could borrow?

Yeah.
Thank God it's Friday.

It's been one of those days.

My neighbor knocked
on my door at-00 a.m.

because my Isabel pulled out one
of their trees for her summer play.

It's been going nonstop.

- That's right, anything for the kids.

Okay. Let me get you
your big bills here.

Get you on your way.

You have a good day.

What do you want me to do?

Trigger the alarm.

- The alarm? Really?
- Yes, ma'am.

Right here...

Leave, right now.
What?

Leave.

There's no sirens.
I could press the button...

I need you to call 911.

Right now.

Okay.

Drop what you're doing.

The guy in the gray hoodie
is robbing the bank.

Yeah.

Just go. Follow Diana. Jesus.

Do you have 911?
No, because...

You can't get them? No, because
the code is not working.

I'm dialing...

Sir, we cannot help you
right now. Please leave.

Thank you so much.

Leave now.

The code
is not letting me dial out.

I need you to move faster, ma'am.
Okay.

Ma'am.

There's a situation. Everybody,
let me just get your attention.

I... I can't...

Don't be alarmed.
Don't move too fast.

We're going to
slowly move out...

Okay, uh...

Who... Who's in charge here?

Who?

Well, she is, but we're both...

I'm... I'm the manager.

Estel Valerie.

Estel, um...

Okay. Anyone in the back?

All right, well,

you understand me? You lock 'em all.

Now go do it.

You heard him, slowly...

I have a customer.
He says he has a bomb.

Is that the operator?
Ye... Yes.

What's the location of the bank?
Yes, um-

Hello, sir.

This is Brian Brown-Easley.

Fraud was committed.

My disability check was stolen
from me, and I want it back.

Fraud was committed.

Can you make sure those doors are locked
and don't allow anybody in? Thank you.

- Are you having them lock the doors?
- Uh, yes, ma'am.

And what do you look like?
Are you Black, white, Hispanic?

I'm Black. But I'm not affiliated
with any groups. It's just me.

Okay.
Yeah.

Okay, my officers are asking if you
let the employees leave the bank.

Brown?

Brown?
Nah.

I... I can't do that. I can't do that.
I can't do that.

As long as everybody stays

out there to meet with you.

Okay. What number
does he have to call?

Uh, the bank.

What is their number,
can you ask them?

Confirm I have the right one.
She doesn't have the bank number.

She asking for the bank number.

- She could call the landline. One, eight...
- I could find it.

Brown, what kind of clothing
are you w... wearing?

Why are you asking me that?

What kind of clothes... Why?

But why are you asking me that?

Why did you
just ask me that question?

You got the sniper on me?

You got the sniper on me?

I'm not sure if there are any officers
on scene yet, but they're requesting

to know what clothing you are wearing.
You got the sniper on me.

That's why you asking that question,
'cause you got a sniper on me right now.

You want to kill me.

They gonna kill me.

You cannot go out like that.
They gon'...

They're going to attack me.

They're gonna attack me
from right there.

You know what, call 'em.

Sorry... Call!

Everybody thinks I'm playing,
but I'm not. I'm not!

I just...

I don't want them to snipe me. I don't want
them to snipe me before I tell my side.

I haven't even told my side of the story.
They're gonna snipe me.

They're gonna shoot me.
They're gon...

Fuck.

Yeah, hello?
Yeah, I'm online here.

Do you have someone
out here for me?

If you want to speak with him,
you will need to tell me.

Ma'am, I do not have as
much time as you think I do.

Hello, they're going to call. And once
they do that, you can talk with them,

but I need to keep you
on the line until they do.

Come over here.

Come on down here.
Come on.

It's okay.
Just come on over here.

All right, stay right there.

You ever been robbed before?

Yes. Once.

How'd it end?
What's your name again?

And don't lie to me.
I don't...

I don't like people lying to me.

Mm-mmm. No, uh,
he... he was arrested.

- They didn't kill him?
- Mm-mmm. No, sir.

He got to be white.

Estel, can you get on the phone
with the network?

But call 911 first. This woman
on the phone, she is no help.

- I gotta go to my desk for that.
- Okay.

That's fine, and shut
those doors again, okay.

They come in here,
they gonna shoot everybody up.

- Spray and pray. That's how they do.
- Okay.

- I... I did... I-I locked it when you first asked me to.
- When? When?

When you first asked me to.

Okay. Okay. It's all right.
Forgive me.

Okay.

Is there another dial-out number
I could use here?

I need to contact my people, make sure
they know what's happening, you know?

Don't want to have
everybody worried.

- You could use that one over there.
- Yeah?

Yeah. I'm going to leave here.
Don't want you to do anything.

I'm just going to move over
there, take a call, okay?

I'm here
at the Windy Hills Wells Fargo,

and there's a man
holding up the bank.

The code is nine.

There is a man holding us up.

Hi, this is Cassandra Deets. Drop
what you're gonna ask at the beep.

Come on, baby.

We could use some help.

Ma'am, are you there?

Hi, this is Cassandra Deets. Drop
what you're gonna ask at the beep.

Hello?
Hey there.

Is this the Windy Hills
Wells Fargo?

Uh, yes, ma'am.
This is the Wells Fargo.

Uh, yeah, I need to talk
to Bridget about my 401.

I think she made
a $9,000 mistake.

Unfortunately, uh, Bridget is
not here to discuss your 401,

but can I take a message for you?
Yeah.

You been having a good day?

Uh, could be better.

Sorry to hear that, ma'am.

Okay, shoot.

816-935-6105.

Just have her call me back right away.
Thank you, ma'am.

That's for Bridget.
She gonna need that.

Where are you located at?

I am near the front door.

Okay, just stay on the line
with me.

They got fire?
I don't know.

- He wants fire trucks.
- What do you mean you don't know?

Our fire trucks will not pull up
on scene if there is a bomb.

I'm sorry.

How much money do you need, sir?

I can get it for you.

It's sitting right up there.

You have reached the
voice mailbox of... Kiah.

I don't want the bank's money.

I just want the cash...

that those people took from me.

That's all I want.

Okay. Okay, it's okay! It's okay.
I got it, I got it, I got it!

Go! Go! Go!

What happening? Who's shooting?

It is an employee!

It's all clear.
Hello?

He's gone.
Estel, do you need me?

Are you okay in there?
Sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

It's just a reflex. I'm sorry.
You still have a visual on him?

No. No. I'm sorry, okay.
I apologize.

Ma'am, I apologize, okay?
I did not mean to do that.

How come y'all letting people
walk up to the entrance?

It seems like y'all
could do better than that.

You gotta get us out of here.

Hello?
Yes, I'm here.

I still don't have a damn
negotiator, and I'm wondering why.

Where's my negotiator?

Hello?

All right,
hang on just a second.

Hello?

Sir, we can really help you.
Please, um... Please don't!

No, don't...

I had a button made, okay.

You see this?

We got kids.
Please don't, sir.

I need my negotiator. Somebody...
Somebody to come down and talk!

To talk! That's all!

Where's my negotiator?
Please, ma'am, just...

Sir. Just hold onto the phone
right here...

I've been holding on.
I've been holding on though.

I've been holding on though.
I held on.

If we get disconnected,
I'll call you right back, okay?

Okay?

You gonna have
my negotiator ready for me?

Ma'am?

Yes, sir, you just hold
onto the line. Okay.

I'll get him on.
Okay.

I'm sorry, y'all,
I had to do that.

Any of y'all ladies
need the restroom?

- I could do to use the restroom.
- All right, go on then.

You okay?

Hello? Okay. I have Major
Riddick on the phone.

Okay.

Check on Estel
in the bathroom, okay.

Make sure she good, aight?

You there, sir?
Uh, yes, I am.

Hello, Mr. Easley.
My name is Major Riddick.

Now you tell us
what's going on in there, okay?

- The Department of Veterans Affairs...
- Estel?

Estel.

They left me destitute
and homeless and, uh...

I'm... I'm going to be on the streets.
So I need your assistance, sir.

All right.
What can we do to help you out?

Well, pay me my money.

That's the whole reason why we
having this conversation, sir.

All right, how much...
How much is that exactly?

Estel, I think we're gonna be
on the TV. Turn it on.

We're gonna be on one of the channels.
Sorry about that.

Well, would you be willing to come
outside and talk... talk to us about that?

Sir, I'm not coming outside.

All right, what are your
intentions right now?

Well, uh,

my intentions are to blow up this
place if my demands aren't met.

I told y'all before. I don't know why
I have to repeat myself, but okay.

Uh, you know, I'm serious, sir.
I will blow this place up, sir.

- Okay. Okay.
- Oh, sir, most importantly,

I want to talk to my daughter.

I can't seem to get through.
All right.

Call you back in a little bit, Mr. Weasley,
okay? Yeah, that is absolutely fine.

Okay.

What you think? Think the
conversation was good?

Yes. I think it was a
good conversation. You?

Yes.
Yeah.

Yeah.

Mom?
Mmm.

Mama?
Mm-hmm.

Mama.
Mm-hmm.

Mom.
Mm-hmm.

Someone must really
wanna talk to you.

Okay, baby. My phone...

Okay.

Okay.

Let me see.

Okay, baby.

Hello.
Hello, Cass?

Yes. I've been calling
you all morning.

Why you ain't
pick up your phone?

All right, all right, all right.
I'm up now, all right?

I just... Why you call me so many times?
It's not even your number.

That's why you should have picked up your
damn phone. I've been callin' and callin'...

I had a patient die at four o'clock this
morning. I'm gonna go back to sleep.

Oh, no. Don't do that, okay?
Hey, look, uh...

I'm in the middle
of something and, um,

depending on how everything works out,
I... I might go to jail for a long time.

Okay. Listen, Brian, I...

Are you off your medication?

Don't do that, Cass.

I was just calling
to tell you that

if something
were to happen to me...

I'm trying to do right, okay?

I'm trying to right something here,
and I'm in a little situation.

And I just wanted you to know I'm
just trying to do the right thing.

I'm trying to make the
right decisions. Yeah...

And I'm just trying to tell you
that everything I do...

Everything I do
is for you and Kiah.

Mm-hmm.
Everything.

Yeah, well, uh, Brian, I don't...

I don't really know where
you're going with this, so...

I don't know what...
Okay, thank you.

You know what, you right.
Put my daughter on the phone.

All right. But don't you be
spooking her like you did.

I never spook our baby.

Yesterday you told her how you got
thrown on the street in handcuffs.

She needs to know how this
world treats people like us.

I'm just letting her know. She's
about to be in the world herself.

Yeah, all right, Brian.

I'm not going through this
with you again, all right?

Yes, ma'am.

Kiah!

Your father's on the phone,
Kiah.

Hey, she mad?

She got reason to be.

Cassandra...

I'm holding up the bank, and now's not the
right time to be ignoring my calls, okay?

I've got hostages. I'm holding up the bank.
You're not...

So, could you put my daughter
on the phone, please?

Thank you.

Daddy?

Hey, hey, hey, baby girl.

Don't hang up.
Don't hang up.

Hey.

I just wanted to let you know
that I love you, okay.

Are you apologizing
and picking me up?

You gonna be mean to Daddy? You
ain't gonna give Daddy a break?

Baby, you know
I'll always tell you the truth.

And, uh, I hurt you.
I did.

Well, you shouldn't have
given me your word.

I apologize, baby.
That's not telling the truth.

You hate when people don't tell
you the truth. I know. I know.

Baby, you know, sometimes when people
steal from you, you've got no choice.

You gotta get it back.

And when I do,
I'm gonna get you a puppy.

Are you for real?
Mm-hmm.

Yes. That's the first thing
on my list.

Okay, call me when you're ready.
Love you. Bye.

Don't hang up. Hey.

What did your father say?

He got money, so he's
gonna get me my puppy.

Just like your damn mama.

You look scared.

You scared?

I am.

I told you...

if I die today...

I die alone.

Come on, Easley.

Hello?

Hi, is Bridget back yet?

Ma'am, the bank is being robbed. I'm
the one robbing it. Do not call again!

Come on, man.

Come on.

Kiah. Baby,
go back to your room.

Why I gotta be in my room, Mama?
Listen.

When I know what I need to
know, I'll let you know, okay?

Please, baby. Just
go back to your room.

Thank you.

Brian? Brian?

My ex-husband... same thing
happened to him almost.

I, um...

I'm scared.

But I feel compassion for you.

You know, my son and, uh, I...

we go to downtown Atlanta
on the weekends,

pass out to the homeless.

And they have stories.

People judge. They underestimate
how folks get in their position.

I know stories like yours.

They fought for the country,

and they come here and they don't
get approved, and I'm like...

"I'm sorry."

I'm sorry.

Who's that?

An old friend.

It's your ex-husband.

I mean, if... if it is, you
probably should hit him back.

Ain't nothing harder on the
heart than reaching out to an ex

and not hearing from them.

I see you love your family.

My close family.

My daughter,

Kiah.

Maybe if you let us out,

-we'll tell them how good you been to us.
- They're not gonna kill me?

They're not gonna kill me?

Did you tell me about your
family and your husband

and your good times

'cause you think I'm a fool?

- No.
- Try to soften me up? Is that what it is?

You think I'm dumb or slow? Is
that what it is? No. Not at all.

'Cause people be doing that a lot.
Thinking I'm a fool, thinking I'm slow.

I... I don't know if that's
what you was doing, ma'am.

Brother, you're not a fool.

I'm not a fool?
Okay. I'm not a fool.

I'm just scared.

That's all. Scared.

Okay.

I understand.

You gonna turn the TV off.
This is not working.

Did y'all just turn off the TV
in the bus... in the business?

You've got to let me know
what he's doing inside the bank.

Excuse me if I'm not doing
exactly what you need of me.

I don't know what y'all are doing. We
need someone to negotiate with him now.

Bernard!
Hey, how you doing?

Riddick
is setting the perimeter.

Wants the area clear of any
potential bombs or co-conspirators.

Okay. We got four
SWAT units here.

Cobb County PD, plus Marietta.

Cobb sheriff's team is out.

Got the dogs.

Smyrna PD.

We got the FBI, the GBI.

Everybody here.
Got yourself a party.

So how many snipers we got?

Uh, three units,
as I understand.

But like I said,
there's a lot going on.

- That's the new chief?
- Yeah. That's him.

WSB-TV tip-line. This is Lisa Larson.
What's your tip?

Hello, this is, uh,
Brian Brown-Easley.

I'm heisting a Wells Fargo
on Windy Hills Road,

and I have a bomb and hostages.

You're what?

Just calling to let y'all know.
Uh...

You're at the Wells Fargo...

You're at the Wells Fargo now,

at the bank...
Holding up the bank

and you're calling us at WSB?

Yes, ma'am.

Uh, what was your name again,
sir, please?

My name is Brian Brown-Easley.

Brian Brown-Easley.

Okay, you hold one sec.
Okay.

I want you to sit here,
close to the camera.

Lisa's got the Windy
Hill robber on the line.

All right, I'm hot.

You got sound?

Yeah, we're good.

We're recording.

Okay, thank you. Um...

And how would you like to be addressed?
Is it Brian?

Or... Or Mr. Easley?

Brian's good.
Okay, Brian.

Why are you holding up
a bank today, sir?

Because I'm a nobody to the VA.

You know, just so we
can verify who you are,

do you have a social
security number or something?

You trying to steal my
money too, like the VA?

No, no, no.
Trying to take my cash?

No, I'm good. I'm not
trying to steal your money.

This is...
This is just so we can help.

Ma'am, just so you know,
I don't have a criminal record.

I mean this is not
my day-to-day.

Well, but you say you have bombs, right?
Where'd you get that?

Oh, I can't give you
that information, ma'am.

Well, is it something that
could, you know, level the bank?

Probably gonna
take out the whole room.

What kind of bomb?

Semtex.
Semtex?

Take care now.

You too.

Can we contact Wells Fargo
security

and see if they have the cameras
inside that we might be able to access?

Major Riddick.

Sergeant, you up to speed?
Indeed.

Okay, we're ready
to conference in.

We're conferencing in.

Ma'am, I'm... I'm not a thief.

Okay, I haven't taken anything
from the bank.

I'm a decorated marine.
I'm a lance corporal.

Who's this on the phone?

WSB-TV.

So why is the suspect talking
to a reporter and not us?

We were just buying time
until you decided to show up.

Two tours Iraq.

Camp Fox and Taqaddum.

Honorable discharge.

Good for you, sir.

And did you make friends? You know,
along the way that you've kept up with?

Yeah, I did,

but we lost contact, you know.

I don't really check in with
nobody or everybody these days.

I kinda stay to myself.

So the VA...
What's going on there?

Okay. Okay. Thanks.

So it looks like this payment
was redirected

to a college you're using your
GI Bill at, to cure a deficit.

Good news is, you're all
caught up on payments.

I was not behind on anything. Damn,
I overpaid on that Windows '08 bullshit.

Disability checks never are confiscated
unless there's an unpaid bill.

Does an unpaid bill
sound familiar?

I've been over this with
the VA helpline. Twice.

I called the-the VA crisis-line.

I called, uh, Lincoln Tech.

I been down to the office, but you...
you know what the problem is, ma'am?

You don't write nothing down.

If you put that pen to that paper,
you would have that information.

Please, please don't raise
your voice, Mr. Easley.

It's just a suggestion.

- I ain't raising my voice.
- That's who's got your money.

I have two jobs.

Two.

I've been ill.

I had to take leave, so I'm
reliant on this disability check.

Ma'am, don't dip into my money
and call it a day.

You gonna have me on...
On the streets.

I'm a grown man.

I won't be able to feed myself.

We have programs for those who
are food and housing insecure.

You can call the helpline or you can
take a number and wait in that line.

Okay.

Thank you.

Next.

Yeah, they said I still owe,
which is a damn lie.

It's a lie.

That must've been
very frustrating.

It was. I'm not a psychopath.

I know what I do
and I know what I don't.

I know, I hear you.
Truth.

I hear you, Brian.

Do you?

What station is this again?
WSB-TV, why?

We're recording right now,
we live, on TV?

Um...

I'll take that as a no.

Well, what it means is that

we're not gonna exploit you
for ratings.

So we're gonna wait... I need the
world to see what's happening here.

Can you do that for me, ma'am?

Can we do that?

Please.

Major Riddick,
are we allowed to go live?

Hey, uh, put the TV on WSB.

We're working
to get you two out.

Don't try nothing. Just
stay put until we get there.

Our priority is the protection
of life inside the dwelling.

We're now running a multi-agency
operation to get these hostages out safe.

- At what point do you have to change...
- Ma'am.

You have
a police officer on air,

but the man who the situation
is about is nowhere to be seen.

- Does that make sense to you?
- Have you got kids?

You know I do.

Well, then you know why
you called here first.

Why'd I do that?

Because we are not going
to let your children...

Yours and mine...

Watch you blow up that bank
on the air.

The suspect, I should say,
is workable...

I understand he is a local.
Yes, but I cannot confirm that.

And what can you tell us...

So what's it look like
out there?

It may have something
to do with this outcome.

I do not have information
regarding that at this moment.

They got a lot of people
waiting for me?

Hello?

Cassandra Easley?
Yes.

I'm Agent Jackman of the FBI. Can
you confirm your current address?

Do you have any other family
we could contact?

My brother. But we don't talk.

Nothing.

Hey, everybody.

Riddick, right? Yes, sir.
Real pleasure.

Fine job out here.
Got everything you need?

Yeah, snipers are in place. Area's clean.
Uh, no sign of an accomplice.

Now that Bernard's here,
we're ready to rock and roll.

Good, good. Atlanta's
watching you today, son.

- Okay, this is good.
- No pressure.

Trying to figure out
what's happening over there...

Let's just give him five more minutes.
Let him wind down.

Lisa...

can I ask you a question?

Sure.

Is life hard for you?

It's hard for everybody I know.
They...

Is it really hard, like...

Seems like everywhere I turn,
they...

You know, my own brother
put a hit out on me.

How did he, uh...

I don't know.
I don't know. They said...

They said he put
20,000 on my head.

Brian, who said that?

The streets is talking.

He a part of some secret
society, some cult like that.

I don't really mess with him,
but they real, real sick people.

Just four kidnapping attempts
on me last year.

You know that? Four.

Are you sure?

Am I sure?

We gotta stop this.

All right.

Uh...

Well...

You know what?

I don't need a translator.

I need to be on the camera.
Can you send somebody down here?

Oh. Well, we have, um...
We have reporters out there.

Mark said that it can work, uh...
You can meet him at a window.

Yeah, we have reporters
out there, uh...

But how would we do it?
Is there a window...

Ma'am, ma'am,
I'm not going near the window.

I do not want to get shot.

- Coming through. Coming through!
- Hey!

Sir!
Stay away from that bank.

Tell your reporters
to stay the fuck off the phone.

You're jeopardizing
his life and yours.

That reporter...
You have been warned.

As you can see, this is a
very volatile situation.

Don't you have a... a long lens that
zoom in that you can see me with?

I'm asking about a long lens.
Oh, long lens. Let me ask.

We're checking on that for you.

Because that's a good idea.
Keep you safe.

Major. I can't prevent that.
Hold on.

Major. We haven't even talked to this guy
yet, and you're letting them film him?

What are we doing here?
What is this?

What is what? You're
highly emotional, Sergeant.

Sir, my professional opinion?

This some bullshit.

May I start
a direct line of communication

so someone trained in this
field can talk to him?

I'm at North Park,
trying to divert traffic...

Just push redial.

Yeah, I'm back.

Suspect exits the bank,
he will not leave the sidewalk.

Are you clear on that?

Suspect exits the bank,
he will not leave the sidewalk.

Can you send somebody down here?

Ma'am, ma'am,

I'm not going down there, okay?

I do not wanna get sniped.

Okay, I kinda hear him
talking in the background.

He's still on
with the media, right?

Uh-huh.

We don't play that around here,

I'll tell you that much.

Brian.

Brian, calm down.

I need to be on camera, okay?

Yeah. Yeah.

Look, they're telling me

that it's just going to take a minute
to locate the camera equipment we need.

But it's coming. Okay?

You're lying.
No, sir.

You're lying to me right now.
I can hear you.

You're lying, I hear it in your voice.
No. No.

You know what,
we're gonna wrap this up.

No, no, no.
We're gonna wrap this up.

Don't do that. Hey...

Wait, my, uh...

God. Wait! Wait! Wait! Wait!

That's all I've been told!

Is to wait!
Brian.

What do I need to do

to get the attention
that I need right now?

Right now!

Right now, ma'am!

Brian. Brian, calm down.

Calm down.
Is this what I need to do?

No. We're gonna...

We're going to take care...
This what I need to do? Okay.

Okay.

Is this what you need?

Is this all the motivation you
need to get me what I need?

You have hostages
in here, ma'am!

Hostages, and they scared!

They scared for their damn lives!
Brian...

I need a phone call!
Brian,

you have my undivided attention.

I don't need
your undivided attention!

I need the attention of the VA!

Not you!

Yeah, we're ready.
All right. We're gonna do this.

You got it.

Brian...

Now, ma'am, can you get me
this phone call?

Hey, Brian... Or do I have
to blow this bitch up?

Brian, they just told me the negotiator wants
to call you on this line, like, right now.

Negotiator
is on the phone, ma'am?

You're not lying to me
right now?

The negotiator is on the phone?
Yeah.

'Cause we can't go back and forth no more.
We can't do that.

No, no, no. So... So... You go talk to him.
And then you call me back.

Okay.

Okay, that's... that's a start.

That's a start.

- Ring him through.
- Okay.

Yeah.
She's doing it right now.

I apologize.

What are we going to report?

Everything.

And we're live.

Five, four, three, two...

Breaking news, we have a hostage
standoff at a Wells Fargo

with Team 2 coverage from
our news chopper in the air,

and a team on the ground.

The suspect made exclusive contact with
our seasoned producer, Lisa Larson.

This is Channel 2 Action News. We start
with Keith James live in Marietta.

We appear to have a very
volatile situation here,

where a man has barricaded
himself inside a bank with...

an explosive device and a
story that he needs to have told.

Police are no longer calling this a
robbery, rather a hostage situation.

And ten to 15 minutes ago,
the sheriff's SWAT team arrived.

Keith, thank you.
And now to Mark Cavanaugh.

He's live on the other side
of this standoff with police.

Mark, what can you tell us
about the suspect?

Well, I can tell you
the area has been sealed off.

I've also been assured that
the public is not in danger.

Now, the suspect inside that
Wells Fargo told us he's a marine,

and we've worked with several
agencies to confirm that he is in fact

Lance Corporal
Brian Brown-Easley.

Daddy.

Huh?

Our own Lisa Larson had
with the former marine.

I just want to say...
He's calm and composed

and came across as caring.

Gandalf?

No.

Gimli?

One guess left.

Okay, Gollum.

Does she look like a Gollum?

Hello?

Hi, is this Mr. Easley?

Who am I speaking with?

This is Eli Bernard, chief
negotiator for Marietta PD.

Chief?
Damn, they sent me the big dog.

I'm actually a sergeant,
but that doesn't matter.

I'm just pleased
to be talking to you.

Why you pleased?

I like to help people.

And it looks like
you can use some help today.

Yeah, you the chief.
Then we good, man.

People know the truth when they hear it.
I do agree.

My mama said show me a liar
and I'll show you a thief.

Mine said the same.
Right.

- Your mama sound like a smart woman.
- Oh, she's smart. She was.

I'm sorry.
No. No sorries.

We all die
at our appointed time.

Yes, we do. So tell me, Brian,
what can I do for you today?

Is it okay if I call you Brian?
Absolutely. Uh...

Sir, I know
you know why I'm here.

And I just simply want
my money back. That's all.

From the VA, right?
Yes, sir.

Yeah, I've had some problems
with Veteran Affairs myself.

It's difficult when they
drag their feet. Right.

Hey, what branch of service
you in?

Marine.

Semper fi, sir.

Where'd you train?

I'm a West Coaster.

MCRD, San Diego.

Okay, okay. So you one of
them Hollywood brothers

with the veneers
in your mouth, huh?

Shooting bubble gum bullets.

I'm from St. Louis,
Missouri.

But yes, sir,
a Hollywood marine I am.

So tell me, sir, how can we
put this back in the VA's hands

versus the bank tellers?

Tell the VA to send over
the cash and fix it.

That's all, okay?

Anything else
you need help with?

Brian?

Yeah, I need you to help me find the words
to tell my ex-wife and my daughter that...

that I'm gonna die.

Sir, with all due respect,

it is my responsibility to make
sure that you get out of here alive.

Yeah, I understand,

but we both know they going
to kill me, man. They...

We both know I'm dying here.

You know.

Ain't nothing for me out there
but bullets.

At least everybody gonna know.
They gonna know how the VA do, man.

They gonna know.

Everybody will see.

You said you had an ex-wife.

I got one of those too.
Painful.

Anybody else in your life I can contact?
Like a woman?

Yeah.

I had but one deep cut in
my life, and I married her.

Well done you, sir.

She beautiful.

Yeah, actually, uh,
I had thought about her...

right at the moment
I decided to do...

what I'm doing right now.

When was that moment, Brian?

Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop!

I don't wanna...
I'm not gonna leave!

I'm not leaving until... No!

No!
Okay.

I want my cash!
Take a breath.

Where's my money?

In front of all those brothers.

I tried to go about it
the way we trained, but...

sir, they've taken
everything from me.

Everything.

I apologize.

For what?

Well, that... that another
human being, a fellow marine,

had to go through so much.

How much money
does the VA owe you?

$892.34.

That it?

Yes, sir.

Sir, your honor's worth
more than $892.

You're worth more than $892.

I'm worth nothing.

I am nothing.

I'm gonna die tonight...

and nobody will care why.

CNT's up and running.

Let's get you in there
so we can hear y'all.

Look...

This is what we're going to do,
okay? Brother to brother.

I'm gonna call your ex-wife
and daughter.

I'ma tell her that we have talked
and we're going to work this out.

Then I'm going to call you back.

Is that okay?

Okay. Now, after I've
done that, Brian,

I'm gonna need you
to do me a favor.

I'm going to need you
to let one of the ladies go.

Can you do that for me?

Brian, you still there?

What about the cash?
What about the money?

I give my word as a marine
and on my daddy,

you let one of them go,
and we will sort this out.

They're gonna come in that door
and crack my head open.

Ain't nobody coming in there and
cracking open your skull, man.

No. No, no, sir.
Not on my word.

Nigga, please, you don't control these
people, man. You ain't got no power.

Don't do that to me now.
Don't you underestimate me.

Not me.

I'm gonna call your family and
I'll call you back in a moment.

All right?

Okay.

Don't you ever, ever disrespect me
or cut me off when I'm talking, sir!

Give me the ex-wife's number.

A man has taken over
a Wells Fargo bank

and is threatening
to blow it up.

He apparently has an explosive,
some sort of backpack or package...

Hello?
Hello, Ms. Easley.

I'm Sergeant Bernard from
the Marietta Police Depart...

Is he dead?

No. No, ma'am.

No, Brian is still
very much alive.

Say, you got FaceTime?

Yeah.
I just want you to see me.

Uh, yeah, I do. I do. I do.
Hold on.

Okay, good.

I am pressin' that button...

right about... now.

Hi.

I gotta tell you, I'm not too
much for all this technology,

but let's just say
it's a pleasure to see you.

Yeah.

First of all, I want to let
you and your daughter know

I do this day in and day out, and
I know a good man when I see one.

Your husband's a good man.

Yeah. Yeah, I know that. I know that.
He wouldn't... He wouldn't hurt a spider.

He has these episodes,
sometimes,

but nothing like this,
nothing this bad.

Has he ever been violent
towards you or your daughter?

Violent? No. No. Hell, no. He loves
that child with his whole heart.

That's good to know.

And before I go, is there
anything I can help you with?

Yeah. Yeah, you can tell me why the
FBI is on their way to my house.

I didn't... I didn't...
I didn't do anything wrong.

I apologize, ma'am.
That's just procedure.

This here's my number.

If they do anything you
don't like, you just call me.

Make sense?

Yeah, it does.

Is there anything
you want me to tell Brian?

Yeah.

Yeah, tell him that I...

Tell him that Kiah says,
"Don't do nothing stupid."

Okay, ma'am.

I'll make sure
to pass that along.

All right. Thank you.

You're welcome.
Bye now.

Wells Fargo confirms,
cameras live any moment now.

All units, suspect does not leave
the perimeter with the bomb.

Hey, Brian.
I spoke to your ex-wife, man.

We actually video talked, but...
Good, you did?

She's a lovely lady.

They okay?

She and your daughter
are doing just fine.

Told Cassandra she can call me
if she needs anything.

That's mighty fine of you.
Did you call the VA too?

To tell the truth,
that's going to take some time.

But I did
what I said I was going to do,

so, how about you release
one of those ladies?

I'ma release both of them
when the money's in my account.

I was really clear.
You gave me your word, marine.

Now don't do that.
Do not do that.

I did not reply, sir.

Now, you got me there.
Okay.

It's just, uh,

I care about you, Brian.

I care about you
just as much as I care about

what them ladies
must be going through.

I understand
you're good at your job.

But I need you to go do it.
Just call the VA.

You went from
10% to 50% disability. Right?

How you know that?

Well, the VA just
sent over your file.

You were hurt in Iraqi Freedom.

Yeah, right again.

It is a bitch
getting shot in the heat.

You... You were shot, right?

No, I was injured.

I was. Which means
you're just like me.

You've been through worse.

You just gotta push through, Brian.
I'll be here to help.

I understand
that you having conversations

that you're supposed to be having
with the VA, but what you need to do,

rather than trying to
straighten me out,

is call them,
then have them call me.

Because you know what you did?
You gave me your word, sir.

You did that.

So if that isn't the conversation,
then we don't need to talk.

Come on, Brian.

They taught us better than this.

No, no, no, no. We can fix this.
This is human error.

I'm gonna die
because of that human error.

Sleep on that.

Shit.

I'm here, my baby.

Please don't answer that.
It's Brian.

There'll be a moment when you can.
Just not now.

Hold on, baby.

Come here.

I understand he is a local,
but I cannot confirm that.

Hi, this is Cassandra Deets...

Hey, Brian.
Don't put the phone down.

Since you didn't let those ladies out, you
can at least let me speak to one of them.

Hold on.

Negotiator wants to talk.

Estel.

Hello.

Hi, who am I speaking with?

Estel Valerie.
Hello, Ms. Valerie.

This is Sergeant Bernard.
Is everyone all right in there?

No, we are not.

What are you people
doing out there?

Ma'am, we're doing
everything we possibly can

to get y'all out of there
safely.

Well, how long does it take to
put money into a man's account?

Estel, just please
try to stay calm.

I'm perfectly calm.

Okay. We're trying, ma'am.

Well, try harder, please.

WSB-TV tip-line. This is Lisa Larson.
What's your tip?

Absolutely.
Uh, what is your address?

The remaining feed is up now.

Can you put Brian
back on the phone, please?

Hello?

I'm about to leave this car
and go over to the van.

When I'm out there,
is there anything you'd like?

Maybe some smokes?

Okay. I can do that.

What kind do you like?

Newports. Newport Longs.

Brian,
when I buy these cigarettes,

someone is going to have to
leave them at the door for you.

We got a plan for that?

Can't you do it?

Okay.

You give me a few minutes to buy those
cigarettes, and I... I'll meet you there.

That's some bullshit.

I ain't going near that.

You know what,

they're not going to fix it.

I will.

I'm going to put your money
directly into your account.

That's not what I need to happen.
So, no, thank you.

Money is money.

Why you care about
where it comes from?

If I cared about the money, I'd have had
you do that when I walked in, but I didn't.

So, no, I do not need that.

You think the VA
got their own printed money?

We're the bank.

We get it back.

No.

I want their money.

So you set on dying?

How many times I gotta
hide my son from the news?

I'll tell you what.

When he asks me, "What did you
do to stop him from dying?"

I'm gonna look him in the eye...

and know that I tried.

Please...

let me put what you're owed
into your account,

and let's please go home.

Look, you can bump it
to your... your wife.

Or your daughter.

I don't care,
but I need you not to die.

Okay, Brian?

Brian, I need you not to die.

Not today.

Okay.

I'm gonna handle this. Right?

I should probably...

If I'm gonna
leave her something,

I should probably call Kiah, right?
Mm-hmm.

You need some credit
on... on the phone?

- Yes, ma'am, I do.
- Okay. That's on me.

Okay.
I'ma need that number, okay?

Estel might be losing it.

I reckon she's going to take
matters into her own hands.

Okay, well, that's a problem.

We still got her
on the phone, right?

Why is that a problem?

If he finds out

that she put the money
in his account and not the VA,

it just might trigger him.

We don't know.

Hell, he doesn't know.

Whoever is talking to her
should tell her to stop.

In fact, we should kill all bank
communications except for the phones.

Kill all comms
except for the phones.

Let's go.

I got the phone credit,
but your account...

it's erroring.

Why... Why would they do that?
It just doesn't work?

Try again.

Hello.
Brian.

- Man, why would you...
- Brian, look at your phone, man.

You're on CNN.

CNN?

I'm on CNN?

People are listening
to your story.

They got pictures of you
all over Facebook and Twitter.

Mm-hmm.

Okay, uh, what they saying?

Well, they know
that you're angry.

Hell, most of them know
what's behind it.

It ain't no secret
that the VA is fubar.

You got them
on the back foot now, brother.

You hear me?

So everything you say,

everything you do,

it matters.

I don't know that it does.

It matters. You matter.

Just make good
where you are right now.

Thank you for the call,
Hollywood.

One of y'all can go.

But it does say here
that he owed the college money.

It ain't, though it says it is.

What does that mean?

Once a student wants out,
stops showing up,

school tells us
they're defaulting.

- Meaning what?
- We gotta take their money.

Pension, disability,
whatever we can get.

The kicker is,
that wasn't Brian.

This is on them.

Why didn't the VA make it right?

Give me a pack
of the Newport Longs.

6.50.

Uh, you got matches?

All right, listen up!

Prepare for a hostage release.

Got ourselves a swap.

Got a light?

Got matches?

I know you got a light.

Does anybody have a light?

Why don't you, uh, give him a
blowtorch while you're at it?

He has a detonator
attached to a bomb, sir.

Not a stick of dynamite.

SWAT command, let me know when
you're ready for hostage release.

32-01. All incoming SWAT
prepare for the exchange.

Guys! Hey, guys!

Our bad!

Now, ladies, we don't have much time.
You have to decide.

- You can't put that on us. It's not fair.
- I know.

Rosa, you can go. Go.

No.

Cannot leave you here.

You got to decide.
I'm...

Well, I think it's probably best
I have a senior manager here,

you know, in case they try to...

They try to shoot me.

As soon as the cigarettes
are at the door,

all three of us will go get it.

Estel, I need you to open
the door, hold it open.

And, Rosa, I need you to grab
the cigarettes, pass it on back,

move off.

Then, Estel,
you lock the door behind her.

That clear?

Okay.

Good.

You hot?

Not really.

No?

I think I'm burning up.
Excuse me.

Come on.

Come on. Let's go.

We got to go.

We got to go.

You gotta be kidding me.

Daddy?

Hey, Baby Ruth.
Hey. Hey, baby.

I just wanted to let you know
that I'm gonna be okay.

You know, whatever happens...

and you gonna be okay.

My baby gonna be fine.

Am I?

Baby, why would you not be?

You don't understand. You're the
most brilliant person I know.

Yeah.

But Mommy says you in trouble.

Well, tell Mommy...

Tell Mommy
I'll be just fine. Okay?

Now, you know what we do.

Can you pray with Daddy?

If he comes back out,
he will shoot me.

If he had a gun,
we would have seen it by now.

Rosa. Rosa.

Rosa, come on.

- I can't.
- You the one supposed to be free.

Bitch, come on.

I can't move.

What the hell
is taking SWAT so long?

They'll let us know
when they're set.

"Those that dwell..."

in the shelter
of the Most High...

shall rest...

"shall rest..."

Daddy, breathe.

Okay, baby.

Okay, baby, okay.

"I will say of the Lord..."

He is my refuge...

my fortress...

my God, in whom I trust.

Surely he will save me
from the fowler's snare...

"and from the deadly pestilence."

Amen.

Amen.

Daddy...

are you breathing?

I am, baby.

I'm breathing.

I am.

Thank you for your prayer.

Thank you
for praying for me, baby.

I needed that.

Daddy,

can you get out of trouble?

Oh, baby, you can always get...

Just do right by people.

You understand me? Wherever
you go, you treat people good.

Okay?

Yes, sir.

That's why I love you.

You're so cool.
What did I do?

Nothing.

Daddy's gonna
let these women out now.

Then we gonna get my puppy?

Oh, baby.

I love you, Kiah.

I love you too, Daddy.

75-01, do you need
SWAT commander on your comm?

Ladies,

I just wanna say thank you for everything
you've done for me the last few hours.

And I'm very sorry.

I really am.

Fuck this.
We're gonna lose him.

Even though I don't pray often,

there's this book
I been reading...

What the hell was that?

- Shots fired.
- What was that?

And you are watching breaking news
with us, this scene unfolding...

Go! Go! Go!

All right, move!
We're moving!

- Police!
- Nobody move!

Come here. Come here.

Ma'am, come on.
Come on, ma'am.

- What was that?
- I think it was a rescue.

- Who authorized the rescue, Chief?
- You had hostages in there.

Find out what that was.
Was that a flash-bang?

Where are the hostages, Chief?

You said you wanted a peaceful negotiation.
What happened?

Look, we saw
a window of opportunity

and we made contact trying
to extract the hostages.

Did you kill him?

I have no further comment
on this matter.

When will that information
be available?

Yup.

Mm-hmm.

Yeah.

Thank you.

We're on our way.

Excuse me.
Excuse me!

Is he dead?

You'll have to contact
your local PD, ma'am.

I have to what?

Hello? I have to what?

Sir!

Excuse me, please.
Talk to me, sir.

Just talk to me.
Ma'am.

Ma'am. Ma'am.
Did you kill him?

Ma'am. Ma'am!

You'll find he may have
turned the weapon on himself.

Hi. This is Cassandra...

Bernard.

There's no bomb.

That must've been
so frightening for you.

All I was doing, I think,

was just trying to
listen to him.

You painted a vivid image
of this man...

Gandalf?

No.

Gimli?

One guess left.

Okay. Gollum.

Dad! You can't name a dog Gollum.
It'll get to her head.

Okay, I give in.
What's the name?

Samwise the brave.

Samwise the brave.

That's perfect, baby.

That is perfect.
