And maybe restore some amount of

faith in our system.

But we honestly can't do it

without your help.

Now I'm asking you, trust

us. And you will see the...

...real threat that's

been clouding the city.

The question is;

can we trust you?

What threat? Who's behind

it? Why should I trust you?

Just do as you're told.

And if you're even half as smart

as we think you are...

...you might just figure out.

This is what we have to do, Jake.

Nobody's doing a damn thing.

Somebody needs to step up.

I am not a police negotiator

anymore. I work a desk job in a...

...local police precinct, okay?

I've got no more...

...connections. I've got no

more power, for that matter.

So...

Maybe you picked the wrong

guy, pal. You made a mistake.

Don't insult us.

It's time.

For what?

I don't get it.

Enter your password.

What?

Do you realize what you're

asking me to do here?

This is classified information

about police personnel.

Yeah. We understand.

Your password, Jake.

Don't force me to do something

we'll both regret.

Man, please, c'mon, guys.

C'mon.

Don't make me do this.

Jake, I swear to you we have

no intentions of harming anyone...

...but what we're about

to expose...

...is far more important than

some ridiculous security breach.

I may not be much of a

cop anymore...

...but I think I would have an

idea if there was a threat...

...against this city.

- Yeah?

Yeah.

Did you guys know about the

Benson Tower? The Mandel hotel?

Or the Dumont school?

No.

We're dealing with a group powerful

enough to hit us and cover it up...

...so damn fast...

...the police force, even the

NSA, would be...

...completely useless.

You listen to me. There's...

...no way anybody could have

known what was gonna happen.

No way. No one could have

foreseen these guys snapping...

...and doing something so tragic.

Give it some time. You may

just change your mind.

I don't give a damn

if you believe us or not.

Something far greater...

...is going on here today

and I will do whatever it takes...

...to stop it.

Whatever it takes.

You're not alone in this house.

I'm gonna be honest with you, hero.

We haven't got time

for negotiations.

You're just one small

piece of the puzzle.

So, I'm gonna ask you one

last time, enter the password.

No. I'm done risking

people's lives.

Okay.

What do you think you're

doing here?

What are you...

- I don't want to hurt you.

You touch my daughter, you

better be prepared to kill me.

Answer the f..king password

already.

Who the f..k is that?

- It's Henry. Relax.

- Who the f..k is Henry?

He's here to pick me up.

- What the f..k do we do?

- Let me think.

- What do we do, Kyle?
