in a carjacking last week in Valencia...

Mars! F***, f***, f***, f***ing sh*t!

Sh*t!

Code three!

I'm taking fire, I'm taking fire!

Get on the f***ing couch!

I gotta f***ing think, man,

- F***! Sh*t,

- Dennis, in my desk I have contacts

for lawyers and judges,

- I can help you get out of this, Dennis,

- F***! Don't say my f***ing name!

- No! No!

- Dennis! Dennis! Dennis!

Stop it!

Daddy, no! Daddy, wake up!

F*** you,

Flores is down. Flores is down!

Heads down, heads down,

I'm coming up to...

- Hector, you all right?

- Jesus!

Jesus Christ, what are you doing?

They ran your truck, dawg,

They know we've been jacking cars,

- Sh*t,

- Attention, you in the house.

This is Chief Talley

of the Bristo Camino Police Department.

I'm gonna bring my car closer

so I can evacuate the injured officer,

I am not coming in the house,

I repeat:
I am not coming in the house,

Do not shoot me,

Do not shoot at me.

Carol, come on, Give me your hand,

Hang on, Come on,

Come on,

Just hang on, Hang on,

Hey,

Pull yourself together,

Put this in the back of one of the cars,

Go on,

ETA on the sheriff is 15 minutes.

Deputy in charge is Captain Shoemaker,

negotiator is Wil Bechler.

Thanks, Louise,

Truck's registered

to a Mary Anne Kelly of Agua Dulce,

We're still trying to track her down,

But a neighbor told us she lives with

her two teenage boys, Dennis and Kevin,

And the neighbor also told us

that Dennis has some juvenile history,

You're gonna go to jail,

- You're all gonna go to jail,

- Enough!

- Why won't you just leave us alone?

- Tie 'em up,

- Tie 'em up with what?

- I don't know, Just figure something out,

Tie 'em up, Go upstairs, Let's go,

I'm not leaving my father,

I'm gonna take care of him, I'm gonna get

some ice for his head, maybe a pillow,

- It's OK,

- Come on, let's go,

Let's go,

Yeah?

Since you're answering the phone,

I'm going to assume this is Dennis.

I'll take that as a yes,

This is Jeff Talley, Dennis,

I'm with the local police,

You the man in charge in there?

Yeah, I'm in charge,

All right.

Then you can tell me who shot my cop,

- Was it you, or Kevin?

- No... no, don't put that on us,

I want to talk to Mr, Smith for a minute,

I want to hear from him

that everything's OK inside the house,

F*** you, I'm running this sh*t,

- You talk to me,

- That's right, Dennis.

You are running this sh*t.

Tell me you're the man in charge, that'll

be your responsibility. You understand?

F*** you.

Don't try and play me.

You get us a helicopter

to fly us out of this sh*t.

I'm just a local paper-pusher, Dennis,

Get me a f***ing helicopter

before I start shooting people.
