- I'd like to deploy my men.

- No, it's too soon.

Could I borrow a vest?

I'll give it back.

Jackie.

A doctor, please.

I asked for a doc!

Get me a doc!

Eric went to med school.

- OK, let's go.

- Boss!

Hello? Jean-Claude?

No!

You have my word that...

Jean-Claude,

we're here to find...

What?

We see the chief of police

exiting the video store,

crisis unit HQ,

and going towards the post office

in his boxer shorts.

Is Van Damme

trying to mock the police?

In any case,

it seems to be working

as the public

is rooting for him

in spite of today's events.

The shorts! The shorts!

Don't shoot, I'm a hostage!

Drop the kit.

Slide it over.

Check the kit.

Go to the back room.

Hurry! He's bleeding!

No tricks, Jean-Claude.

Van Damme's fame

has driven them here.

They're clearly fans,

here to support him,

and the slightest move

gets the crowd on fire,

yelling out his name.

We 've heard a few snide remarks,

like the one about the Commissioner

who went out in his shorts.

But the situation is dramatic.

Sir, don't move.

What am I doing here?

What's going on?

Calm down, sir.

- Don't move.

- It hurts.

What the f***...

No, Jean-Claude!

Don't move!

Get outta here!

Calm down, Jean-Claude!

Get outta here!

The curtain!

Help them!

Right on!

Gimme five! Awesome!

How did you do that?

Seriously! What a pro!

What's this?

See what he did?

This isn't a movie!

What do I care?

Take him with the others!

Fast!

Listen, smart-ass,

you better think of something

or I'll shoot...

How do you do it Jean-Claude?

You got him in the balls

with your foot and your hand!

You're too fast for

me, I swear.

Sit down, you deserve it.

Hey!

Can't you see he

saved his life!

He saved all of us!

Jean-Claude!

He's still out cold.

What a fag.

Find a way to get

us outta here

or I'll shoot 1 per hour,

starting with our hero.

They're clueless.

We can ask anything...

like a ransom

with him as hostage.

Let's ask for a million!

A million?

Where did you see a million?

Have you even seen a million?

Where are you?

In a post office!

He's a star!

I mean, it's Van Damme!

They expect more than a mill.

We leave

with him and the cash.

So the hostages can go to the cops

once we're out!

Talkin' about a brain...

You almost got me killed!

- You realize?

- Listen...

I'd be dead!

You're not the FBI!

- I'm still the boss.

- Go to Hollywood for drama!

I work, here!

F*** your action men in black!

They're no better than us.

Let's just shoot him.

That's not our job!

We're here to save lives!

- So maybe that's what it takes.

- This isn't a war!

You're telling me

how to do my job?

Can't you just shut up?
