Dude, you don't

No.

Come on, man.

your brother down south?

Yeah, that's right,

he was picked up for arms dealing.

No, actually, it was narcotics.

That's what l heard.

He was working

for Octavian.

That's right.

lt was Octavian.

The son of a b*tch

set him up too.

What'd you do

for him?

Collections.

lf somebody didn't pay on time,

l'd park a car in their living room.

That was you?

- Sh*t, l remember that.

Pretty good

at the moment.

Good good.

how to handle this?

Listen,

the van back and fueled,

and we want a six-seater plane waiting

for us at the airport.

A plane?

Sounds like you're

planning on running.

Yeah, you could

say that.

That's a bad idea, Sam.

Maybe l should be

discussing this with your partners?

Listen, l'm gonna do

all the talking for now.

How many others

are in there, Sam?

What about the van

and the plane?

Well, the plane's

a tall order to fill.

So l'm gonna need

something from you in exchange.

You need

something from me?

Yeah.

l'm gonna need

some hostages, Sam.

Just hold on

for a second, okay?

Can you hear what

they're saying?

He's talking to someone.

- Are you there?

- Yeah.

Sorry, man, no deal. No hostages

until we have everything, okay?

l can't do that, Sam.

l need to have

some hostages.

At least send

the women out.

Show me you're serious about doing

this peacefully.

F***-- what the f***, man?

- l said l can't.

- You've got to.

Sam, we're gonna turn

the power off in there

and it's gonna get

awfully hot, okay?

So l'll tell you what,

give me some hostages

and l will leave

the AC on.

l don't know

what to do.

F*** it, l'll check.

What the f*** you

mean you'll check?

You're in charge, a**hole.
