I'm just curious as hell to see this black Italian.
Yeah, yeah.
That's you.
Yeah, you're the one I seen on my TV.
Black Italian, huh? Yeah.
My, oh, my! Chitlin scaloppini.
Only in America.
- What are you lookin' at? - Nothing.
- No? Just now you looked away.
- I did? Are you getting some kind of instructions? No.
Sure you are.
Sure you are.
You're startin' off with crap.
What way is that to make an introduction? I was just reacting to you calling me a chitlin scaloppini.
Well, I just meant it as a joke.
No offence intended.
Hey, Irish, whisky brain.
Your friend there, he's very sensitive.
Sensitive, yeah.
That's That's my experience too.
That's exactly why I picked you, Giardello.
I saw all them cops laughin' at me on the TV.
Actin' like this is some kind of big fun, some big joke.
You're the only one who didn't laugh.
What were they sayin' about me? Counting their blessings none of 'em got hurt.
- What you do when you got lucky.
- That cop, he did get lucky.
- I could have nailed him.
- He knows.
That's why he was laughing.
- You didn't.
- I'm not him.
- It's cos you take me serious.
- I do.
- How are your kids? - They're fine.
Good.
Anything I can get for 'em? Their damn mother, she brings 'em here to her sisters.
There's nothin' here for my kids.
They could really use a good breakfast.
Whatever they want.
Zoey likes pancakes.
And Zack, he'll eat anything.
We call him Hoover, cos he'll vacuum up anything you put in front of him.
What about you? Can I get you something? No.
I'm all right.
I'm fine.
Get my kids breakfast.
That's all I'm askin'.
Hey, I'd give you a little cash, but I'm caught a little short in my circumstances here! I haven't worked in two weeks.
Got laid off.
We've all been there.
We've been short on money.
It's the way things are.
Livin'.
But it's always only only temporary.
Every job I had, I've busted my ass.
No doubt.
What about Zack and Zoey? They like McDonald's? They could live at that place.
- Mind if I ask 'em what they would like? - You ask 'em? Well, they are your kids, and they deserve exactly what they want.
I mean, they're special.
You and me, you know, we gotta make our own introductions.
I'd like to meet your kids.
What is this? Some kind of trick? - No.
- No tricks? You have my word.
Let me meet Zack and Zoey.
Kids, come over here.
Someone wants to meet you.
Zack, you too.
Come on.
What did I tell you about picking your nose? Come here.
Come on! Hi, Zack.
Hi, Zoey.
You want to go out for breakfast? McDonald's OK? - I like McDonald's.
- Pancakes, right? - And could I have a juice? - Yeah, sure.
How about you, Zack? What would you like? Whatever Zoey's havin'.
Oh, yeah.
Whatever Zack wants, Zack can have.
Zack will have whatever Zoey's havin'.
It's how you keep the peace.
Go back to your cartoons.
We want the gun.
We want the gun.
- They're nice kids.
- Yeah, they are.
- You've got a lot to be proud of.
- Zack, he's mine.
He's gonna be the real deal some day.
- Your daughter too.
- No, she ain't mine.
She came with the package when I got involved with her mother.
But I treat her like she's my own.
It's just the way I am.
But where's the gratitude, you know? - How about we take them to breakfast? - I'm supposed to walk out of this place? Put the gun down and this is over.
How could I do that? Nothing's right.
I gotta get things straightened out.
It's not right what's been done to me.
We can We can make it right, Emmet.
All you gotta do is think about what's right for Zack and for Zoey.
It's your decision.
They're great kids.
Emmet! What are they sayin'? Mum! It's Mum! Hi, Mum! Stop it! Cut this crap! Did you hear that? It's the bitch.
We'll get this straight.
- She ain't no wife! Yeah, bitch! - You can do the right thing.
- Moron! - Did you hear that? I'm a moron? - Emmet! - Don't worry about her.
Talk to me.
Coward! Emmet, come back and talk to me! Giardello, breakfast is over! - You get the gas shut off? - Cut the feed.
- No way he could light up the apartment.
- If he was gonna, he would have.
- The electric is still on? - For the kids.
He's got 'em watching TV.
They should have that.
Phone is secured.
We can call in.
He can't dial out.
Great.
- We can take it from here if you want.
- What do you mean, if I want? He trusts you.
That is of the utmost.
Trust me when I say he trusts you.
Maybe we can talk him out.
Which is why you should stay.
But up to you.
He's a lying son of a bitch.
You go up there, bust down that door, and grab him by his stupid neck.
He has a gun and your two kids.
Nobody's bashing down anything.
He's not gonna use that gun.
Stop.
He brings that gun six years ago.
Says it's to protect me and the kids.
What a joke! He doesn't know which end of the gun is which.
Emmet, he's an imbecile.
He shot at a cop.
You were there.
I want my kids.
You guys don't do something, I'll go up there, kick his ass.
You're asking me to manoeuvre him for a kill-shot.
If need be.
If there's no other option.
- You get him to a window.
- And one of your guys shoots him.
Carey, he's his own way out of this.
But, yeah, we'll shoot him.
'Emmet? Mike Giardello.
' I wanna talk to my wife.
Tell her I wanna see her.
First things first, Emmet.
I got your kids some breakfast.
I told you no breakfast! Just get my Lucy up here.
Oh, come on, Emmet.
Let me bring the food up.
It's getting cold.
'Kids have gotta be starving by now.
' - You turned the gas off, didn't you? - Yes.
'Bunch of wise-asses.
' All right, you feed my kids, and then I talk to my wife.
You have to get permission.
Emmet, I gotta talk to my boss about that.
Meantime, let the kids eat.
'I'm bringing the food up.
' - Hung up on me.
- We should get the wife.
He'll talk her into bringing up this food and he'll shoot her.
We go up.
You talk.
Don't agree to any demands he makes you can't deliver on.
- Don't lie.
- Don't lie? Well, don't get caught lying.
Emmet? I got everything Zack and Zoey wanted.
Get it while it's hot! You want to deliver it to me, huh? What kind of dope do you think I am? You're not coming even close to here.
- I'm hip to you, fella.
Understand? - I do.
Yeah.
All right.
My kids eat, and then me and Lucy get to have a private talk.
- I'll have to get an OK for that.
- You will get the OK on that, pal! I will ask.
You can count on that.
Hot food coming over, Emmet.
Grab the food, Zoey.
Zoey, bring the food here.
Look at me, Zoey.
Zack wants his breakfast.
I should never have gone to work.
I should have stayed with the kids.
I could have been shot.
He yells at me to get out.
I'm supposed to get out? It's my apartment! I'd have been there when he comes.
I'd have grabbed him and thrown him down the stairs.
I want my kids.
- You were gonna shoot a kid? - No.
- Your pals had her dead to rights.
- She just gave us a jolt for a second.
- You thought it was me.
- No one's gonna shoot anyone.
That's not what this is about.
Yeah.
You'd like to put a couple of pops in my noggin.
The food wasn't only for Zoey and for Zack.
There's a coffee and one of them breakfast sandwiches for you too.
You got me somethin'? Yeah.
I was thinking you gotta be hungry too.
I gotta talk to my old lady.
You gotta get Lucy up here.
You can't.
Zoey, don't let him get syrup all over his face like that.
Get a towel.
Wipe him off.
- Hey, Irish, you there? - Oh, yeah.
You know how us Irish guys are, huh? Workin' fools, us Irish men.
We are.
Work ourselves to the bone.
Work 60, 70 hours a week for the wife and kids.
So she and the kids can have it better than I did.
Well, that's what fathers do.
Yeah, it's our duty.
- It's our obligation.
- No arguing that.
You got kids? - Er Who? Me? - No.
Mike there.
Am I married with kids? No.
Then what are you saying you know for, huh? You don't know! I know what my dad has done for me.
You don't have to have kids and a wife to appreciate what fathers do.
You gotta be thinking about your kids' future.
That's what's what.
Cold coffee? It's garbage.
What are you trying to do to me? - I can get you some fresh.
- You know what my old man says? Anyone gives you bad coffee, don't turn your back on 'em.
- Coffee gets cold.
- You gave me a lousy cup of coffee! I want to talk to Leo.
First Lucy, then Leo.
- Leo? - My jerk-off boss.
Guy who fired me.
There's a guy you don't turn your back on.
Where the hell's Lucy, huh? How's she not here yet? She knows all about this Leo.
You're arranging to have her up here, but I don't see her.
Just get it.
Hey, Giardello! What did I tell you about taking signals, huh? - You don't need to be talkin' to anyone.
- I was finding out where your wife is.
- What is it you want to talk about? - Oh, I gotta hear this guy, huh? He's out! Out! Hey, Lieutenant Big Mouth, you want this to be over? Cos this could be really over.
- Take it easy, Emmet.
- Don't easy me, you bitch! Don't.
- Don't? - Don't.
You're talking down to him, pissing him off.
Giardello, he's the boss.
You're leaving, Lieutenant.
You're fired.
He's going.
I don't hear anyone leavin'.
Man ain't a man if he's got no job.
You lost your job.
Lost? I was screwed, buddy.
Up the bazoo.
out at Sparrow's Point.
From a grunt apprentice hauler to a top welder.
I worked my way up.
Retrofit the navy ships.
You know, gettin' up to speed to breaking 'em down for scrap salvage.
I get jacked.
I don't even get a kiss goodbye.
You got skills.
You could pick up something quick.
You're valuable.
I've been downsized, fella.
My time is up.
Zoey! Zack! Zoey, Zack, are you OK? - Mama! - Hey! - Emmet, what's going on? - Get on that couch, Zack! You hear me? - What's happening in there? Talk to me! - Hey, you bitch! - Who's he talking to? - Is this what you arranged? - That's not what I meant! - I didn't arrange this.
- You are not takin' my kids from me! - You can be with your kids.
No one's gonna take you away from your kids, Emmet! Zoey, Zack, I want you to walk out of there! You stay right where you are.
Your dad's not gonna do anything! You just get to the door and walk out! You come to me! - They're here with me! - Emmet, talk to me.
You let them go, I swear You swear? No, you shut up! Shut the hell up! Oh, Jesus! Emmet! Ambulance, we need an ambulance! Emmet, talk to me, damn it! Emmet, what the hell's going on here? - Emmet, how are the kids? - Yeah, Zack's OK.
Zoey's OK.
Everyone in here is OK.
Hostage-taker fires two shots.
Hits his wife with both rounds.
One in the neck.
One in the chest.
From way over yonder there? That's a hell of a shot.
- Give the man a medal.
- How did she get there? - She slipped past security somehow.
- You mean slipped past you somehow? We're trying to determine how she accomplished this.
She accomplished being dead.
It was no day at the beach gettin' her body out of the kill zone.
Oh, well, give this man a medal, too.
- This is on you, Giardello.
- Oh, this is on me? You want this on me? OK, I'll take it.
We gotta deal with it now.
He's gonna want to know about his wife.
- He'll ask, you lie.
- I lie? - He doesn't know his wife's condition.
- He couldn't see QRT drag her out? So maybe she was hurt.
Tell him she's dead and those kids are dead.
He figures I'm lying, those kids are dead! We've got a news blackout.
- He has no access to any information.
- I tell him what, then? She ducked his shots? Got a scratch on her ass? If that's what he wants to hear, that's what you tell him.
Let him take the lead.
You'll know how to talk then.
He's gotten violent already.
He gets suicidal or he threatens those kids, get him to where we can take a shot.
- You'll shoot him? - Two kids up there we want alive.
What's the choice, Giardello? - Long time for your partner to be gone.
- He had to go take a leak.
- Scared the hell out of him, huh? - Yeah.
Scared the hell out of me too.
- My wife, she's OK? - My partner, he went to find that out.
Along with taking a leak? He's a very busy guy.
Yes, he is.
She's OK.
I couldn't hit the broad side of a Whatever.
It's the first time I've had this gun in my hand since I bought it.
I got it to protect my kids.
- Hey, Emmet.
- Giardello? - How's it going in there? - How's Lucy? - Good.
- Good? How good? She had to go to the hospital.
Nothing serious.
- What hospital? - I think over to Hopkins.
- You see her? - Yeah.
Yeah, she's fine.
Zoey and Zack, they're OK? Happy as can be.
Got their crayons and colouring books.
Where? Where? Great, good.
They're there by you colouring, huh? What are they colouring? Maybe I could see their pictures.
Want to know if they're here next to me? No.
Maybe I could see some of Zack and Zoey's pictures.
That's all.
Why do you want to know that? They're all right, right? Did I tell you they're happy as can be, but you don't believe me? - No, I do.
Yeah.
- They're right here.
They're guardin' the door with me.
Their idea.
- They're guardin' you, huh? - They don't want their dad in jail.
No one said anything about going to jail.
- No? - No.
We just want everyone to come out OK on this.
I shoot a cop.
I'm not gonna get tossed in the crap box? I know how you guys are about your own.
That officer's gonna retire early cos of you.
He's got it made.
He's Fat City.
I sent my wife to the hospital.
That's nothin', huh? She's gonna be fine.
If she's OK, why is she sent to Hopkins? I don't understand what you're asking, Emmet.
Hopkins is for serious cases.
Guys I work with, they get a bump or a cut, they go to clinic.
They get really hurt, they go to Hopkins.
Lucy's hurt bad.
Well, she asked to go there.
She She asked? She doesn't ask, she demands.
- Yeah, she did, yeah.
- Yeah.
That's her.
My beautiful Lucy.
Not worth a nickel, she demands Hopkins.
Goldbrick nonsense.
She's gonna wipe out my whole severance.
For what? For a bump, huh? It was a bump or somethin'? Couple of scratches.
Scratches? But you've seen her? You talked to her? Yeah.
Yeah, she's OK.
Believe me.
Yeah, Lucy's hurt bad, you guys would be storming this place.
No.
If you did, you'd be steamrolling two innocents here.
Zack and Zoey will not see me go to jail.
Now we wouldn't do that, Emmet.
You hurt Zoey, she gets hurt, what can I say? That's that.
She ain't mine.
It's terrible to say, but she ain't.
You hurt Zack, though, and we're gonna dance.
No one is storming in, Emmet.
That is not our intention here.
You know we're gonna work this thing out.
No one's hurt serious so far.
No one has to go to jail.
This is all you need to think about.
You think I'm not thinkin'? You and me, Emmet, we're just a couple of blue-collar grinds.
Every day we get up.
Best we can hope for is the plumbing still works, we get a clean wipe.
Every day I get up, I know it's gonna be another pain-in-the-ass day for me.
Yeah.
- I get garbage from my boss.
- I know that.
- And the family.
- What's new? - And friends.
- Where are they when you've no job? I understand you going off, you snapping, Emmet.
Things get stupid.
You lose it for a second.
Do things and then you wish you didn't.
I understand that.
What I don't get is you putting your kids in this.
You can't be threatening them.
You don't put them in the jackpot.
They're in danger, and they got no vote in this.
You and me, we got choices.
This is gonna be OK.
You have to make this right.
Did I say I was thinkin'? Miracle shot to have killed that woman.
Miracle.
- She got some bad juju goin' on.
- Huh? I got a bad feelin' about this one, Bayliss.
I'll give you 5-1 odds.
What? You would bet on this? You're the bad juju.
We got kids up there.
I'm talking about highly-trained, sharpshooting chuckleheads.
They're not gonna be outgunned by some clown's miracle shot.
You know they're gonna pop him good.
- We got Mike and Stu up there talking.
- Highly trained for the task, too.
Mike'll talk him down.
Unlike you, he's got charm.
- He's got what? - Charm.
So you're backing him? I'll give you 20-1 odds.
OK, I'll do it.
- You'll give up your gun? - For a pizza.
Watching these kids eat has made me hungry.
I didn't eat today.
All day yesterday.
I was tore up worrying.
I see the house all empty.
I can't even remember the last thing I ate.
The gun for a pizza.
That's a deal, Emmet.
It's early to find pizza.
I know a place.
I come out of this with some dignity.
I walk out good.
Walk out safe.
With my kids.
I'm not a moron.
I'm no coward.
I don't want no one thinkin' that of me.
I understand, Emmet.
All right, then.
Make it plain.
I like my pizza basic.
That way you know what you're gettin'.
A basic pie.
You and me, Giardello.
We're gonna have pizza, and then we're gonna figure out how I come out of this right.
Make this good as hell.
Easy.
It's hot.
You got his candy bar? Let me get this straight.
These Crisis guys are gonna let you go to the door with this pizza.
Our pal Emmet is gonna open the door, you'll hand him the pizza and he's gonna hand you his gun? - That's the plan, champ.
- If he doesn't? QRT, they shoot him dead.
What if he shoots first? Shoots you? Then your old man comes back.
He's where? I don't know.
Out of town.
He comes back into town, and I gotta tell him how I let you get shot? My father was here, he'd be the first in that door.
What? You don't trust me? You don't trust me.
We share a pizza.
We talk.
This could be all over with.
I have to come unarmed? - Yes, I'd like that.
- I give up my gun, you give up yours.
Our deal was pizza for a gun.
Not gun for a gun.
I'm not gonna do anything stupid, Emmet.
I'm no moron, either.
Yeah, how's the pizza? It's burning the hell out of me.
- You get my candy bar? - Twix bar.
Right.
All right.
All right, what? Bring me my pizza.
All right, I'm coming in with your pizza.
I'm delivering your pizza, Emmet.
The pizza and nothing else.
Just take it easy, Emmet.
I'm gonna open the door with my foot.
Zoey, go get the pizza.
I got a Coke and a candy bar for you.
No, just just the pizza.
OK, hold your arms out, Zoey.
Put your arms out, Zoey.
Just the pizza.
- I want some.
- No.
You just had breakfast, damn it! You got some expensive equipment on there, huh? On the table.
You know better than to put food on the floor.
Take a piece out for me.
- Take a bite.
- I don't like pizza.
Did I just tell you something? It's really good.
It's made special for you, Emmet.
- I want some.
- What did I tell you? You have to listen.
You've got to learn how to listen.
- She gets a piece.
- Just sit there and shut up! Zack, you gotta listen to your father.
Take a bite.
Take a bite.
She doesn't keel over, I'll know you didn't put anything in my pizza.
Trust me.
Nothing on that pizza except mozzarella.
Give Zack the rest of your pizza.
You should have some, Emmet.
It's good, huh, Zack? - These kids would be better off dead.
- No.
You don't mean that, Emmet.
I know I'm going to jail.
Emmet, we talked this out.
You're not going to jail.
I won't be charged? You take me for an idiot.
I'm not saying they're not gonna press charges.
That'd be a lie.
It doesn't mean you have to go to jail.
I'm no judge.
You got your side of the story.
You give them a chance, Emmet.
They hear you out, you'll come out OK.
I want to talk to my wife.
Emmet, you said get you a pizza, you'd give me the gun.
I got you your pizza.
I want to call Hopkins.
You cut my phone off here.
I need to apologise to her.
Zoey, I didn't mean to scare you.
You know I love you.
I really messed this whole day up.
Wow.
I need to tell Lucy that this didn't have to happen.
She means everything to us.
She has every right to be pissed at me.
Oh, I've gotta make this right.
And I swear to you, Giardello, I'm going to.
If I need to go to jail, I'll go to jail.
I deserve to.
Then I'll come out and I'll get a new job.
I'll make things good for my family.
I'm a church-going man.
I'm a God-fearing man.
I got skills.
You said so yourself.
The gun.
Yeah This is over.
I'm thirsty.
I could use a stiff drink.
I'll have that Coke.
What's it like out? Weather changed? Emmet, we made a deal.
The gun.
You You look dead.
Give me the gun, and everything gets good for your kids.
You want that.
I do.
I try all the time for 'em.
I'll never stop tryin'.
I never knew my old man.
- Get along with yours? - Most of the time.
- Yeah? You do stuff together? - Once in a while.
- He's there for you? - I don't ask much of him.
My old man, I have no memory of him.
I think that's why I try so hard to keep mine with me.
Zack, what are you doin'? You've had enough.
What are you gonna do, huh? Kids Someday he'll be big and I'll have to let him go.
- I have to let my kids go off.
- Yeah, you gotta let 'em.
Yeah, you can't keep 'em on a leash.
Every good father knows that.
Give me the gun.
It all gets easy.
- Your father knew when to let you go.
- So I could come home.
- And you do come back, huh? - I'm home.
That's all I know.
He knew too.
I'm not ready to let mine go.
Hey, why don't you toss me that candy bar, my black Italian pal? - What? - Nothing.
I know, I know, I know.
Pizza, the soda and now dessert.
And I didn't put anything on your plate.
I tell you what, my Lucy will cook for you.
I'll have her I will ask her to make you something.
Anything she cooks, it tastes delicious.
She can really put it together.
She uses secret ingredients.
You like to eat, you want to be at her table.
- Invite me over.
- I will.
Sure.
I'll owe you for the pizza.
If she does cook, that first meal, I think I better have a food taster.
- That'd be wise.
- I think so! Hey, Zoey, come over here.
It's OK.
Come on.
- You can have her.
- What? I'll let you take her.
Go on.
You go on.
- Is Zack coming? - One thing at a time.
Emmet, we can all walk out of this together.
Giardello, I just put something on your plate.
Don't be an ingrate.
I'm being delayed by the food compactor here! Giardello.
Before I change my mind.
Zoey! Zoey! Come on.
Come on.
Zoey, it's OK.
- No! - Zoey, it's OK! - It's OK.
Everything's OK.
- OK.
It's OK.
Come on.
Go Mike, go! You son of a bitch! Kill yourself, you moron! But you don't shoot your kid, you son of a bitch! You don't kill your son, you moron! You son of a bitch! - Hey, Stuey.
Stuey.
You all right, man? - Yeah, I'm good.
- This is one of the kids? - Yeah.
Hey, Mike.
Mike, you OK? The little boy? Oh, no.
I had the moment.
There was the moment.
I've been on dozens of these.
This one's no worse than any other.
I walk in, they're shouting, screaming.
This guy is pissed to no end.
Well, we start talking.
He's talking, I'm talking.
Everything's settling down.
Then, out of nowhere, he pulls a gun.
I hit the door, and then my foot starts burning up, but I didn't even know I was shot.
That's a million-dollar wound there.
What do you think? Eight, nine months' medical leave? You better write this one up good.
I got shot on duty.
I'll send you a postcard from the Keys.
Picture of me soaking the foot in rum.
- Lucky son of a bitch! - It's only your foot.
' to bring you a developing news story.
'Our camera's picking up the police, 'who are responding to what appears to be some sort of emergency situation.
' - Those aren't your kids? - They're my sister's.
Lucy's.
- Her and Emmet split up.
- The guy's name is Emmet? Emmet Carey.
Idiot, moron, loser, piece of garbage.
He was abusive with Lucy, so she left him.
What choice has she got? - I gotta shut you down.
- I'm out of your way.
He's watching this on TV.
You're showing him the situation.
We got two kids.
You're jeopardising 'em.
Shut it down! You get what you need? - Yeah.
You? - Yeah.
We head to the squad room.
File this report.
Another police-involved shooting.
- Maybe we could grab some breakfast.
- Is that the wife? That's the aunt.
The wife's supposed to be at work.
Hey, Detectives! I'm Lieutenant Wennington, Crisis Negotiation.
A man's gonna blow up the building.
- He says he'll talk to you.
- I don't know this guy.
Talk to our hostage till the power company can get the gas line turned off.
- You gotta buy us some time, OK? - Buy you some time? - Yeah.
- Well, how much time? Ten minutes.
I won't put you near the line of fire.
- Give me a vest.
- Want him backing you up? - Let me have a vest.
- Why me? He saw you on TV just now.
You ready? Let's go.
Nice and easy.
Emmet? Emmet Carey.
Emmet? This is Lieutenant Wennington.
We were talking before.
Did I tell you I did not want to talk to you any more? - Mr Carey? - And you are who? - Mike Giardello.
- Giar-what? Giardello.
The guy I asked for is black, and Giardello ain't black.
I am black.
OK, OK, you take me for an imbecile.
I know Italian from black! My grandfather was Sicilian.
My grandmother black.
- How are the kids? - What? - The kids? - What about 'em? - They're OK? - You should see inside here.
Look.
No bread and no milk.
There's no nothin'.
Maybe I can get 'em something to eat.
What do they like? I can get you something, too.
Are you hungry? Yeah.
The cop The cop wants to know.
Hey, Emmet! Who are you? My name is Stu Gharty.
Gharty? - Is it Irish? - That's right.
Your partner's black with an Italian name to him? - That he is.
- How would I make that up? - Let's see you.
- What? I'll know if you're the guy on my TV.
- Get your kids something to eat first.
- You son of a bitch! - If you're lying about who you are - I wouldn't.
I'm the guy you saw.
- Smell anything? - That's gas.
I turned off all of the pilots on the stove.
- Easy, Emmet.
- Check out what I've got in my hand.
It'll be very easy, fella.
Emmet, I can't allow Officer Giardello to come up.
Officer Giardello I will take you, my kids, my damn self, all of us right out of here! Think I'm lyin' that I won't blow us all to hell? I believe you.
No.
Just Just hang on.
The officer comes up, he comes protected.
Is that understood? Let's make the acquaintance.
I have an officer with a shield leading.
All right? Oh, sure.
I'm just curious as hell to see this black Italian.
Yeah, yeah.
That's you.
Yeah, you're the one I seen on my TV.
Black Italian, huh? Yeah.
My, oh, my! Chitlin scaloppini.
Only in America.
- What are you lookin' at? - Nothing.
- No? Just now you looked away.
- I did? Are you getting some kind of instructions? No.
Sure you are.
Sure you are.
You're startin' off with crap.
What way is that to make an introduction? I was just reacting to you calling me a chitlin scaloppini.
Well, I just meant it as a joke.
No offence intended.
Hey, Irish, whisky brain.
Your friend there, he's very sensitive.
Sensitive, yeah.
That's That's my experience too.
That's exactly why I picked you, Giardello.
I saw all them cops laughin' at me on the TV.
Actin' like this is some kind of big fun, some big joke.
You're the only one who didn't laugh.
What were they sayin' about me? Counting their blessings none of 'em got hurt.
- What you do when you got lucky.
- That cop, he did get lucky.
- I could have nailed him.
- He knows.
That's why he was laughing.
- You didn't.
- I'm not him.
- It's cos you take me serious.
- I do.
- How are your kids? - They're fine.
Good.
Anything I can get for 'em? Their damn mother, she brings 'em here to her sisters.
There's nothin' here for my kids.
They could really use a good breakfast.
Whatever they want.
Zoey likes pancakes.
And Zack, he'll eat anything.
We call him Hoover, cos he'll vacuum up anything you put in front of him.
What about you? Can I get you something? No.
I'm all right.
I'm fine.
Get my kids breakfast.
That's all I'm askin'.
Hey, I'd give you a little cash, but I'm caught a little short in my circumstances here! I haven't worked in two weeks.
Got laid off.
We've all been there.
We've been short on money.
It's the way things are.
Livin'.
But it's always only only temporary.
Every job I had, I've busted my ass.
No doubt.
What about Zack and Zoey? They like McDonald's? They could live at that place.
- Mind if I ask 'em what they would like? - You ask 'em? Well, they are your kids, and they deserve exactly what they want.
I mean, they're special.
You and me, you know, we gotta make our own introductions.
I'd like to meet your kids.
What is this? Some kind of trick? - No.
- No tricks? You have my word.
Let me meet Zack and Zoey.
Kids, come over here.
Someone wants to meet you.
Zack, you too.
Come on.
What did I tell you about picking your nose? Come here.
Come on! Hi, Zack.
Hi, Zoey.
You want to go out for breakfast? McDonald's OK? - I like McDonald's.
- Pancakes, right? - And could I have a juice? - Yeah, sure.
How about you, Zack? What would you like? Whatever Zoey's havin'.
Oh, yeah.
Whatever Zack wants, Zack can have.
Zack will have whatever Zoey's havin'.
It's how you keep the peace.
Go back to your cartoons.
We want the gun.
We want the gun.
- They're nice kids.
- Yeah, they are.
- You've got a lot to be proud of.
- Zack, he's mine.
He's gonna be the real deal some day.
- Your daughter too.
- No, she ain't mine.
She came with the package when I got involved with her mother.
But I treat her like she's my own.
It's just the way I am.
But where's the gratitude, you know? - How about we take them to breakfast? - I'm supposed to walk out of this place? Put the gun down and this is over.
How could I do that? Nothing's right.
I gotta get things straightened out.
It's not right what's been done to me.
We can We can make it right, Emmet.
All you gotta do is think about what's right for Zack and for Zoey.
It's your decision.
They're great kids.
Emmet! What are they sayin'? Mum! It's Mum! Hi, Mum! Stop it! Cut this crap! Did you hear that? It's the bitch.
We'll get this straight.
- She ain't no wife! Yeah, bitch! - You can do the right thing.
- Moron! - Did you hear that? I'm a moron? - Emmet! - Don't worry about her.
Talk to me.
Coward! Emmet, come back and talk to me! Giardello, breakfast is over! - You get the gas shut off? - Cut the feed.
- No way he could light up the apartment.
- If he was gonna, he would have.
- The electric is still on? - For the kids.
He's got 'em watching TV.
They should have that.
Phone is secured.
We can call in.
He can't dial out.
Great.
- We can take it from here if you want.
- What do you mean, if I want? He trusts you.
That is of the utmost.
Trust me when I say he trusts you.
Maybe we can talk him out.
Which is why you should stay.
But up to you.
He's a lying son of a bitch.
You go up there, bust down that door, and grab him by his stupid neck.
He has a gun and your two kids.
Nobody's bashing down anything.
He's not gonna use that gun.
Stop.
He brings that gun six years ago.
Says it's to protect me and the kids.
What a joke! He doesn't know which end of the gun is which.
Emmet, he's an imbecile.
He shot at a cop.
You were there.
I want my kids.
You guys don't do something, I'll go up there, kick his ass.
You're asking me to manoeuvre him for a kill-shot.
If need be.
If there's no other option.
- You get him to a window.
- And one of your guys shoots him.
Carey, he's his own way out of this.
But, yeah, we'll shoot him.
'Emmet? Mike Giardello.
' I wanna talk to my wife.
Tell her I wanna see her.
First things first, Emmet.
I got your kids some breakfast.
I told you no breakfast! Just get my Lucy up here.
Oh, come on, Emmet.
Let me bring the food up.
It's getting cold.
'Kids have gotta be starving by now.
' - You turned the gas off, didn't you? - Yes.
'Bunch of wise-asses.
' All right, you feed my kids, and then I talk to my wife.
You have to get permission.
Emmet, I gotta talk to my boss about that.
Meantime, let the kids eat.
'I'm bringing the food up.
' - Hung up on me.
- We should get the wife.
He'll talk her into bringing up this food and he'll shoot her.
We go up.
You talk.
Don't agree to any demands he makes you can't deliver on.
- Don't lie.
- Don't lie? Well, don't get caught lying.
Emmet? I got everything Zack and Zoey wanted.
Get it while it's hot! You want to deliver it to me, huh? What kind of dope do you think I am? You're not coming even close to here.
- I'm hip to you, fella.
Understand? - I do.
Yeah.
All right.
My kids eat, and then me and Lucy get to have a private talk.
- I'll have to get an OK for that.
- You will get the OK on that, pal! I will ask.
You can count on that.
Hot food coming over, Emmet.
Grab the food, Zoey.
Zoey, bring the food here.
Look at me, Zoey.
Zack wants his breakfast.
I should never have gone to work.
I should have stayed with the kids.
I could have been shot.
He yells at me to get out.
I'm supposed to get out? It's my apartment! I'd have been there when he comes.
I'd have grabbed him and thrown him down the stairs.
I want my kids.
- You were gonna shoot a kid? - No.
- Your pals had her dead to rights.
- She just gave us a jolt for a second.
- You thought it was me.
- No one's gonna shoot anyone.
That's not what this is about.
Yeah.
You'd like to put a couple of pops in my noggin.
The food wasn't only for Zoey and for Zack.
There's a coffee and one of them breakfast sandwiches for you too.
You got me somethin'? Yeah.
I was thinking you gotta be hungry too.
I gotta talk to my old lady.
You gotta get Lucy up here.
You can't.
Zoey, don't let him get syrup all over his face like that.
Get a towel.
Wipe him off.
- Hey, Irish, you there? - Oh, yeah.
You know how us Irish guys are, huh? Workin' fools, us Irish men.
We are.
Work ourselves to the bone.
Work 60, 70 hours a week for the wife and kids.
So she and the kids can have it better than I did.
Well, that's what fathers do.
Yeah, it's our duty.
- It's our obligation.
- No arguing that.
You got kids? - Er Who? Me? - No.
Mike there.
Am I married with kids? No.
Then what are you saying you know for, huh? You don't know! I know what my dad has done for me.
You don't have to have kids and a wife to appreciate what fathers do.
You gotta be thinking about your kids' future.
That's what's what.
Cold coffee? It's garbage.
What are you trying to do to me? - I can get you some fresh.
- You know what my old man says? Anyone gives you bad coffee, don't turn your back on 'em.
- Coffee gets cold.
- You gave me a lousy cup of coffee! I want to talk to Leo.
First Lucy, then Leo.
- Leo? - My jerk-off boss.
Guy who fired me.
There's a guy you don't turn your back on.
Where the hell's Lucy, huh? How's she not here yet? She knows all about this Leo.
You're arranging to have her up here, but I don't see her.
Just get it.
Hey, Giardello! What did I tell you about taking signals, huh? - You don't need to be talkin' to anyone.
- I was finding out where your wife is.
- What is it you want to talk about? - Oh, I gotta hear this guy, huh? He's out! Out! Hey, Lieutenant Big Mouth, you want this to be over? Cos this could be really over.
- Take it easy, Emmet.
- Don't easy me, you bitch! Don't.
- Don't? - Don't.
You're talking down to him, pissing him off.
Giardello, he's the boss.
You're leaving, Lieutenant.
You're fired.
He's going.
I don't hear anyone leavin'.
Man ain't a man if he's got no job.
You lost your job.
Lost? I was screwed, buddy.
Up the bazoo.
out at Sparrow's Point.
From a grunt apprentice hauler to a top welder.
I worked my way up.
Retrofit the navy ships.
You know, gettin' up to speed to breaking 'em down for scrap salvage.
I get jacked.
I don't even get a kiss goodbye.
You got skills.
You could pick up something quick.
You're valuable.
I've been downsized, fella.
My time is up.
Zoey! Zack! Zoey, Zack, are you OK? - Mama! - Hey! - Emmet, what's going on? - Get on that couch, Zack! You hear me? - What's happening in there? Talk to me! - Hey, you bitch! - Who's he talking to? - Is this what you arranged? - That's not what I meant! - I didn't arrange this.
- You are not takin' my kids from me! - You can be with your kids.
No one's gonna take you away from your kids, Emmet! Zoey, Zack, I want you to walk out of there! You stay right where you are.
Your dad's not gonna do anything! You just get to the door and walk out! You come to me! - They're here with me! - Emmet, talk to me.
You let them go, I swear You swear? No, you shut up! Shut the hell up! Oh, Jesus! Emmet! Ambulance, we need an ambulance! Emmet, talk to me, damn it! Emmet, what the hell's going on here? - Emmet, how are the kids? - Yeah, Zack's OK.
Zoey's OK.
Everyone in here is OK.
Hostage-taker fires two shots.
Hits his wife with both rounds.
One in the neck.
One in the chest.
From way over yonder there? That's a hell of a shot.
- Give the man a medal.
- How did she get there? - She slipped past security somehow.
- You mean slipped past you somehow? We're trying to determine how she accomplished this.
She accomplished being dead.
It was no day at the beach gettin' her body out of the kill zone.
Oh, well, give this man a medal, too.
- This is on you, Giardello.
- Oh, this is on me? You want this on me? OK, I'll take it.
We gotta deal with it now.
He's gonna want to know about his wife.
- He'll ask, you lie.
- I lie? - He doesn't know his wife's condition.
- He couldn't see QRT drag her out? So maybe she was hurt.
Tell him she's dead and those kids are dead.
He figures I'm lying, those kids are dead! We've got a news blackout.
- He has no access to any information.
- I tell him what, then? She ducked his shots? Got a scratch on her ass? If that's what he wants to hear, that's what you tell him.
Let him take the lead.
You'll know how to talk then.
He's gotten violent already.
He gets suicidal or he threatens those kids, get him to where we can take a shot.
- You'll shoot him? - Two kids up there we want alive.
What's the choice, Giardello? - Long time for your partner to be gone.
- He had to go take a leak.
- Scared the hell out of him, huh? - Yeah.
Scared the hell out of me too.
- My wife, she's OK? - My partner, he went to find that out.
Along with taking a leak? He's a very busy guy.
Yes, he is.
She's OK.
I couldn't hit the broad side of a Whatever.
It's the first time I've had this gun in my hand since I bought it.
I got it to protect my kids.
- Hey, Emmet.
- Giardello? - How's it going in there? - How's Lucy? - Good.
- Good? How good? She had to go to the hospital.
Nothing serious.
- What hospital? - I think over to Hopkins.
- You see her? - Yeah.
Yeah, she's fine.
Zoey and Zack, they're OK? Happy as can be.
Got their crayons and colouring books.
Where? Where? Great, good.
They're there by you colouring, huh? What are they colouring? Maybe I could see their pictures.
Want to know if they're here next to me? No.
Maybe I could see some of Zack and Zoey's pictures.
That's all.
Why do you want to know that? They're all right, right? Did I tell you they're happy as can be, but you don't believe me? - No, I do.
Yeah.
- They're right here.
They're guardin' the door with me.
Their idea.
- They're guardin' you, huh? - They don't want their dad in jail.
No one said anything about going to jail.
- No? - No.
We just want everyone to come out OK on this.
I shoot a cop.
I'm not gonna get tossed in the crap box? I know how you guys are about your own.
That officer's gonna retire early cos of you.
He's got it made.
He's Fat City.
I sent my wife to the hospital.
That's nothin', huh? She's gonna be fine.
If she's OK, why is she sent to Hopkins? I don't understand what you're asking, Emmet.
Hopkins is for serious cases.
Guys I work with, they get a bump or a cut, they go to clinic.
They get really hurt, they go to Hopkins.
Lucy's hurt bad.
Well, she asked to go there.
She She asked? She doesn't ask, she demands.
- Yeah, she did, yeah.
- Yeah.
That's her.
My beautiful Lucy.
Not worth a nickel, she demands Hopkins.
Goldbrick nonsense.
She's gonna wipe out my whole severance.
For what? For a bump, huh? It was a bump or somethin'? Couple of scratches.
Scratches? But you've seen her? You talked to her? Yeah.
Yeah, she's OK.
Believe me.
Yeah, Lucy's hurt bad, you guys would be storming this place.
No.
If you did, you'd be steamrolling two innocents here.
Zack and Zoey will not see me go to jail.
Now we wouldn't do that, Emmet.
You hurt Zoey, she gets hurt, what can I say? That's that.
She ain't mine.
It's terrible to say, but she ain't.
You hurt Zack, though, and we're gonna dance.
No one is storming in, Emmet.
That is not our intention here.
You know we're gonna work this thing out.
No one's hurt serious so far.
No one has to go to jail.
This is all you need to think about.
You think I'm not thinkin'? You and me, Emmet, we're just a couple of blue-collar grinds.
Every day we get up.
Best we can hope for is the plumbing still works, we get a clean wipe.
Every day I get up, I know it's gonna be another pain-in-the-ass day for me.
Yeah.
- I get garbage from my boss.
- I know that.
- And the family.
- What's new? - And friends.
- Where are they when you've no job? I understand you going off, you snapping, Emmet.
Things get stupid.
You lose it for a second.
Do things and then you wish you didn't.
I understand that.
What I don't get is you putting your kids in this.
You can't be threatening them.
You don't put them in the jackpot.
They're in danger, and they got no vote in this.
You and me, we got choices.
This is gonna be OK.
You have to make this right.
Did I say I was thinkin'? Miracle shot to have killed that woman.
Miracle.
- She got some bad juju goin' on.
- Huh? I got a bad feelin' about this one, Bayliss.
I'll give you 5-1 odds.
What? You would bet on this? You're the bad juju.
We got kids up there.
I'm talking about highly-trained, sharpshooting chuckleheads.
They're not gonna be outgunned by some clown's miracle shot.
You know they're gonna pop him good.
- We got Mike and Stu up there talking.
- Highly trained for the task, too.
Mike'll talk him down.
Unlike you, he's got charm.
- He's got what? - Charm.
So you're backing him? I'll give you 20-1 odds.
OK, I'll do it.
- You'll give up your gun? - For a pizza.
Watching these kids eat has made me hungry.
I didn't eat today.
All day yesterday.
I was tore up worrying.
I see the house all empty.
I can't even remember the last thing I ate.
The gun for a pizza.
That's a deal, Emmet.
It's early to find pizza.
I know a place.
I come out of this with some dignity.
I walk out good.
Walk out safe.
With my kids.
I'm not a moron.
I'm no coward.
I don't want no one thinkin' that of me.
I understand, Emmet.
All right, then.
Make it plain.
I like my pizza basic.
That way you know what you're gettin'.
A basic pie.
You and me, Giardello.
We're gonna have pizza, and then we're gonna figure out how I come out of this right.
Make this good as hell.
Easy.
It's hot.
You got his candy bar? Let me get this straight.
These Crisis guys are gonna let you go to the door with this pizza.
Our pal Emmet is gonna open the door, you'll hand him the pizza and he's gonna hand you his gun? - That's the plan, champ.
- If he doesn't? QRT, they shoot him dead.
What if he shoots first? Shoots you? Then your old man comes back.
He's where? I don't know.
Out of town.
He comes back into town, and I gotta tell him how I let you get shot? My father was here, he'd be the first in that door.
What? You don't trust me? You don't trust me.
We share a pizza.
We talk.
This could be all over with.
I have to come unarmed? - Yes, I'd like that.
- I give up my gun, you give up yours.
Our deal was pizza for a gun.
Not gun for a gun.
I'm not gonna do anything stupid, Emmet.
I'm no moron, either.
Yeah, how's the pizza? It's burning the hell out of me.
- You get my candy bar? - Twix bar.
Right.
All right.
All right, what? Bring me my pizza.
All right, I'm coming in with your pizza.
I'm delivering your pizza, Emmet.
The pizza and nothing else.
Just take it easy, Emmet.
I'm gonna open the door with my foot.
Zoey, go get the pizza.
I got a Coke and a candy bar for you.
No, just just the pizza.
OK, hold your arms out, Zoey.
Put your arms out, Zoey.
Just the pizza.
- I want some.
- No.
You just had breakfast, damn it! You got some expensive equipment on there, huh? On the table.
You know better than to put food on the floor.
Take a piece out for me.
- Take a bite.
- I don't like pizza.
Did I just tell you something? It's really good.
It's made special for you, Emmet.
- I want some.
- What did I tell you? You have to listen.
You've got to learn how to listen.
- She gets a piece.
- Just sit there and shut up! Zack, you gotta listen to your father.
Take a bite.
Take a bite.
She doesn't keel over, I'll know you didn't put anything in my pizza.
Trust me.
Nothing on that pizza except mozzarella.
Give Zack the rest of your pizza.
You should have some, Emmet.
It's good, huh, Zack? - These kids would be better off dead.
- No.
You don't mean that, Emmet.
I know I'm going to jail.
Emmet, we talked this out.
You're not going to jail.
I won't be charged? You take me for an idiot.
I'm not saying they're not gonna press charges.
That'd be a lie.
It doesn't mean you have to go to jail.
I'm no judge.
You got your side of the story.
You give them a chance, Emmet.
They hear you out, you'll come out OK.
I want to talk to my wife.
Emmet, you said get you a pizza, you'd give me the gun.
I got you your pizza.
I want to call Hopkins.
You cut my phone off here.
I need to apologise to her.
Zoey, I didn't mean to scare you.
You know I love you.
I really messed this whole day up.
Wow.
I need to tell Lucy that this didn't have to happen.
She means everything to us.
She has every right to be pissed at me.
Oh, I've gotta make this right.
And I swear to you, Giardello, I'm going to.
If I need to go to jail, I'll go to jail.
I deserve to.
Then I'll come out and I'll get a new job.
I'll make things good for my family.
I'm a church-going man.
I'm a God-fearing man.
I got skills.
You said so yourself.
The gun.
Yeah This is over.
I'm thirsty.
I could use a stiff drink.
I'll have that Coke.
What's it like out? Weather changed? Emmet, we made a deal.
The gun.
You You look dead.
Give me the gun, and everything gets good for your kids.
You want that.
I do.
I try all the time for 'em.
I'll never stop tryin'.
I never knew my old man.
- Get along with yours? - Most of the time.
- Yeah? You do stuff together? - Once in a while.
- He's there for you? - I don't ask much of him.
My old man, I have no memory of him.
I think that's why I try so hard to keep mine with me.
Zack, what are you doin'? You've had enough.
What are you gonna do, huh? Kids Someday he'll be big and I'll have to let him go.
- I have to let my kids go off.
- Yeah, you gotta let 'em.
Yeah, you can't keep 'em on a leash.
Every good father knows that.
Give me the gun.
It all gets easy.
- Your father knew when to let you go.
- So I could come home.
- And you do come back, huh? - I'm home.
That's all I know.
He knew too.
I'm not ready to let mine go.
Hey, why don't you toss me that candy bar, my black Italian pal? - What? - Nothing.
I know, I know, I know.
Pizza, the soda and now dessert.
And I didn't put anything on your plate.
I tell you what, my Lucy will cook for you.
I'll have her I will ask her to make you something.
Anything she cooks, it tastes delicious.
She can really put it together.
She uses secret ingredients.
You like to eat, you want to be at her table.
- Invite me over.
- I will.
Sure.
I'll owe you for the pizza.
If she does cook, that first meal, I think I better have a food taster.
- That'd be wise.
- I think so! Hey, Zoey, come over here.
It's OK.
Come on.
- You can have her.
- What? I'll let you take her.
Go on.
You go on.
- Is Zack coming? - One thing at a time.
Emmet, we can all walk out of this together.
Giardello, I just put something on your plate.
Don't be an ingrate.
I'm being delayed by the food compactor here! Giardello.
Before I change my mind.
Zoey! Zoey! Come on.
Come on.
Zoey, it's OK.
- No! - Zoey, it's OK! - It's OK.
Everything's OK.
- OK.
It's OK.
Come on.
Go Mike, go! You son of a bitch! Kill yourself, you moron! But you don't shoot your kid, you son of a bitch! You don't kill your son, you moron! You son of a bitch! - Hey, Stuey.
Stuey.
You all right, man? - Yeah, I'm good.
- This is one of the kids? - Yeah.
Hey, Mike.
Mike, you OK? The little boy? Oh, no.
I had the moment.
There was the moment.
