saw 'em before.

Karl Schroeder

and Max Reichman.

They call themselves

the ''Blood Brothers.''

They're into everything--

drugs, murder,

human trafficking.

l mean, they pretty much

do anything.

l used to work

for Karl's brother.

l only met them once.

But l mean,

some pretty mean

bastards.

That's enough.

You'll scare the girl.

No, he's not.

Mom says you can trust

a man by his eyes.

He's a good man.

You can see it.

He'll stop them.

Shh shh shh.

Hi.

Hey.

l saved something

for you.

Gabrielle.

Sam.

You got

to lie down, okay?

Come on, lie back down,

sweetie.

Lie down.

- Lascar.

- Hey.

- Catherine.

- Hey.

Thanks for getting

here so quick.

So...

What do you want me

working on?

l want you to look

at a surveillance video,

find out

what they took.

Right.

Where can l set up?

- Back there.

- Okay.

Uh, Rick?

Sh*t.

Rick, sorry to interrupt.

You know Captain Burleson.

l believe you know Duca.

Devlin.

- Good to see you again.

- Captain.

We got things

under control.

lt looks like it.

News is around the corner

acting like a pack

of hungry wolves.

They want to know

what's happening.

But first, l'd like

to know what's happening.

Right now, l don't think

you should be involved, Mr. Duca.

- lf you'll take a seat--

- Honey, l'm not going anywhere

until l know l have

my money back.

And you all know l have

a lot of powerful friends.

We're aware of that, Mr. Duca, but for

now, why don't you go park it?

For now he stays.

Keep him involved

just like the rest

of us. Got it?

So have they made

any demands?

Nothing yet.

They're scared.

They're trying to

decide what to do.

What do you

have in mind?

Bring a tactical team

together to hit the cafe.

ln the storeroom

there's a trapdoor

that leads

to a drainage pipe.

We're placing two men

in position right there.

Those pipes haven't

been used in years.

l'm gonna send two men up the pipe

while we hit the front with tear gas.

They'll never see our guys

coming from the back.

l'm against

this plan entirely.

- lt's not your call.

- But it is mine. You can't do it.

But it's the best option.

lt'll work!

l know it'll work,

but you can't do it.

The ATF is sending

in a hostage negotiator.

The ATF?

They don't have

jurisdiction on this.

Yeah, we got everything

under control.

There's a dead man in the street

, and gunshots from inside.

Sounds like some control.

Captain, they have

no right.

The ATF are trained in this type

of negotiation.

They requested that one of their agents

be sent in to deal with it.

Oh, but this is crazy.

l mean, we're trained

for hostage negotiations.

Yeah, right.

Why did they request

an agent come up here?
