He'll eat Farley up.

Commander...

...if you want to talk to him...

I may not have a choice.

Get him locked down first! In the

meantime get on the f***ing phone.

Someone locate the building engineer.

Right away.

Chief Travis.

Special Agent Grey.

This is Moran.

We're the FBI negotiators.

It's a federal building.

It's our jurisdiction.

He's one of ours. We got this.

Fine with us. For now.

We got eyes.

Son of a b*tch! Go to camera 2.

He got all 6. We got nothing.

We got to see in that room.

No eyes, no ears.

We're running out of options.

- I want status reports now.

- Give me an update.

Give me status. Somebody give

me status. Tell me what you see.

All shafts are locked down, sir.

Blind's closed.

Visibility zero, sir.

We contained him.

We have not contained him.

He's contained himself and cut us off.

Try the phone again.

Let's see what he wants.

Talk.

I'm Rudy, so don't shoot me

thinking I'm him. Please.

Rudy, my name is Farley.

Please get Danny on the line.

Farley would like to talk to you.

I only want to talk to Chris Sabian.

He'll only talk to Chris Sabian.

If Sabian's not here in 20 minutes...

...you die.

I don't want to talk to anyone else

but Chris Sabian.

Okay, we heard you.

He said they heard you.

Who is Chris Sabian?

- I heard of him.

- He's from the Westside.

Once he talked 55 hours.

Never forces tactical action.

I don't know how Danny knows him.

So find Sabian.

Come on...

...talk to me.

I'm right here.

I'm not going anywhere,

so please come out.

You don't want me to.

I want to kill her.

I do want you to come out,

so we can discuss this.

You're not even listening to me.

Yes, I am listening to you.

You promised that you'd come out.

So come on out, all right?

I don't want to do this

through the door.

Look, I want to do something

without arguing. Let's get on the road.

Your clothes look fine.

They do.

According to some people

I look fat in ski clothes.

That's not the word she used.

She used...

...a much worse word.

Honey, get off the phone!

Get off the phone.

Get off the phone.

I'm your father and I'm very

upset with you right now!

Try your sweater.

Honey, get off the phone.

And I want you to apologize to your

mother for saying she looks...

..."wide."

That is not a good word to use. "Wide."

How'd you like to be called wide?

Do you hear me?! I am very serious!

I'm very angry with you!

Get off the phone! Get off the phone.

Don't you make me...

I talked a man out of

blowing up the Sears Tower...

...but I can't talk my wife out

of a bedroom or my kid off a phone.

That's because no one's standing

behind you with a big gun.

Yeah, well, that's debatable.
