- Now what's goin' on? - Suspect came in shortly after the bank opened.

A botched robbery. Teller hit the silent alarm.

He's taken 17 hostages, shot one; the guard. He's still alive.

- So far, he's asked for a-- - Car.

And a plane waiting at the airport, and if he doesn't get that--

- He'll kill all the hostages in five minutes. - Right.

- What's the suspect's name? - Earl.

Earl. Shit, you'd think on a day like today, Earl would go to the park or somethin', right?

Ladies and gentlemen. What's up, man?

- Scott. - Hey.

Rope, glad you could make it. Captain Solis is on his way down.

-You guys got a profile on Earl? -Yeah.

- This guy's no genius. - Well, they ain't usually graduate students.

- SWAT wants to go in. - What, they ain't killed nobody yet this week?

Okay, we got a guy who's probably on drugs. He's got a record of 4-5-9s.

He's been busted on possession.

Never been busted on a major felony. What's this guy's demeanour?

Well, he's a little fuckin' agitated. He ripped the phone out.

I gotta go face to face.

- No, I don't think so. - Sam, you got a building full of hostages.
