Are you okay?

What is it?

Huh?

What's wrong?

I promise

I will have him there. I guarantee it.

First thing tomorrow at the Embassy.

- I'm offering a compromise.

- I'm sorry.

I don't have the authority to negotiate.

That's a tough spot to be in. I know.

Been in that spot many times.

There's no reason

why this can't run smoothly.

I just don't see that happening.

-Does he know the situation here?

-I've explained it.

Mr. Riley is not here this evening

in a supervisory capacity.

We thought he might be able

to get the man out quietly.

"Man"?

This is a 13-year-old boy

we're talking about.

This child is harmless.

This is not an analysis assignment.

If you can't help me find

a creative solution to my problem,

then I'm gonna ask you

to telephone someone who can.

We've lost that as an option.

Then I suggest you retrace your steps

and figure out where...

Jesus! Get out--

Wait! Mas!

Mason! Hold it.

Watch out! Watch out!

Mason! Nadia!

Karim!

Nadia!

Karim!

Nadia!

Move!

Get him out!

Help me, Mason!

Mason!

No!

No! Please!

Take me!

Leave her!

Drop your weapon!

Come here, Karim!

- No!

- Mason!

Karim.

Drop your weapon!

Or I kill her.

Please, no!

Please!

Go! Go!

No, baby. No, baby. Come on.

Stay here with me.

Don't leave home

without that raincoat.

You are going to need it.

Showers will continue in the Boston area

throughout the evening,

tapering off just after rush hour.

And that's your traffic and weather

on WCPN.

It's 7:
15. I'm Jane Emerson.

Coming up in the next half hour,

Jerry Torbin discusses the future...

Hey, buddy!

You all right in there?

Yes... Yes, sir!

Well, you don't sound so sure.

Coming or going?

No, I'm here. I'm a guest

at the hotel. I was just heading in.

All right. Try sleeping inside.

All right, issue number five,

pension attrition ratio.

We worked our way to common ground here.

Jerry's gonna accept the National Formula

and the Union has decided to waive

their "most favored nations" clause.

Great.

Number six, ICC indemnity bonding.

Feels like another solid compromise here.

We'll cross-collateralize the premiums

with the safety bonuses.

So, we have fewer accidents, fewer claims.

We have a better package. Everybody wins.

All right, guys?

That is six issues

we've taken off the table.

It's important now to take a look back

and realize how far we've come.

Six of ten.

Of nine.

You see?

You're back with the overtime?

Again with this?

It's never going on the table.

Both sides have to show

more cards here. All right?

The numbers will tell us

which way we're gonna go.

I'm getting raped here, Mason.

-Prove it. Open your books!

-Open your f***ing ears. I'm done.
