Be cool, Dennis, Be cool,

Nobody wants to hear guns go off in there,

You tell me you didn't shoot my cop?

All right, I believe you,

But nobody's gonna be able to help you

if you start hurting people in there,

- You understand?

- Just get me what I want.

- I'm not the guy, Dennis,

- Then get me the guy!

- Louise, come back,

- Go, Chief.

Confirmed the entire Smith family

is inside the house,

along with two suspects, possibly a third,

You want a hit?

OK,

- Can't get out this way,

- We can't get out this way, either,

- Hey, Dennis, Dennis,

- What?

That cop... Mars just started shooting,

You know what, Kevin? Mars had a reason,

- Had a reason?

- Yeah,

Dennis, you've known that guy,

like, three weeks, and he just shot a cop,

Whose fault

do you think that was, Kevin? Huh?

- He shot a cop,

- Huh?

Maybe you should've stayed in the truck,

If you'd listened, you could've warned us,

You could've lied to the cop, Done

something other than f***ing this sh*t up,

There's no way out up here,

Hey, you guys

gotta come see this sh*t,

Kitchen, Driveway,

And office right there,

Holy sh*t,

...apparently

a hostage situation is unfolding.

We have no further information,

other than the pictures that you see here.

F***in' rich people,

This is bad, No, this is bad!

F***in' rich people,

Hi. This is Walter Smith. You've reached

my voice mail. Please leave a message.

We have a problem,

I can't get to the accountant,

I know, I'm watching it on TV,

We must get control of this situation,

We have nine hours until the hand-off,

Bristo Camino

has a very small police department,

so we have requested the assistance

of Ventura County Sheriff's Department,

who will be here shortly.

Chief, we understand the dead officer...

- Would you stop it?

- We need to help Daddy,

Shut up, Watch the TV,

That's the police, OK? They're gonna help,

- We gotta cut the tape,

- Shut up,

Roll together, OK? Off the bed, Then, like,

maybe we can get what's under the bed,

- Under my bed? What's under my bed?

- Your bong, We can break it,

What? You've been sneaking in my room?

- Come on, hurry, Faster, You gotta do it,

- I'm trying,

Wait, shh,

You didn't hear that?

All right, come on, Fight with me now,

- Stop screaming, you little gerbil...

- Help! Help!

Jesus Christ, You're kidding me,

Are you kidding me?

The kid... Cut him, yeah, Cut him,

The kid weighs, like, 30 pounds,

Are you kidding me? Tie him up, OK?

Tie him up in his own room,

Please try doing it right, OK?
