Ransom

Move, move, move now! Go!

Go! Secure the exit! Secure the exit!

Go, go! Perimeter.

Trudy.

I said don't move. Back against the wall.

Go!

Maxine carlson for Eric beaumont.

I don't see your name here, mrs. Carlson.

What time was your appointment?

That's odd. Are you sure?

Ms. Carlson has no appointment.

Mr. Yates.

Hi. Hi.

Didn't you get my message?

I did.

Thing is, it didn't make sense.

First you tell me that i'm perfect for the job,

Then...I don't even get an interview.

Yeah, well, that's the way it goes sometimes.

Wha--

Who else canItalk to about this?

I actually do the vetting, and you were vetted.

Now you're post-vetted.

What if mr. Beaumont disagrees?

Appealing to the fear of a higher authority.

It's a textbook tactic.

Here's the thing, though --

We left the textbooks behind a long time ago.

Have a good day, ms. Carlson.

Well, here is what we know so far --

A man armed and wired with explosives

Entered st. Mary's anglican church

And took 14 hostages.

Police say he's demanding divine intervention,

To save his critically ill wife.

An expert negotiator has been called in,

And police are asking the public

To stay clear of the area.

Move, move, move!

Move, move, move, move!

Are you listening to me?

Are you seeing this?

You save her, you save trudy...

Or I will start killing them, I swear I will.

I'm listening.

Keep the change. Thanks.

Excuse me. Excuse me. Could you stay back, please?

Crisis resolution -- I work for Eric Beaumont.

Hold the elevator!

Thank you.

Sniper's headed up.

Take it from red team.

The Archbishop's plane is still in the air.

We're trying to reach him.

You're not listening to me, Eric.

He is killing my wife.

Trudy was never sick a day in her life!

If god kills her, I'll show him that I can kill, too.

Red team, hold your position.

This has gone on long enough, Eric.

We got to get those hostages out of there alive, captain.

Let me do my job.

What about the wife?

Still in surgery.

Window at the back. From the rooftop behind.

We finally have a clear shot.

How does it look for the LCC?

Looking good, captain.

We need a decision here, Eric.

Expand the ao another 500 meters.

Okay, contact.

What are you gonna do?

Bear with me, captain.

Bernard, it's Eric.

Bernard!

When I get the archbishop on the phone,

What do you want me to ask him? When I get the archbishop on the phone,

What do you want me to ask him?

What's he saying?

Something a "of the lord, your god."

"Ask a sign."

"Ask a sign of the lord, your god."

Book of Isaiah...

I think.

Somebody's been to Sunday school.

You can take the shot now.

And if you miss, what happens to those hostages?

What are you doing?

He wants a sign.

Let's give him one.

Hey, sweetie, what's up?

Stephanie's inviting me for friends weekend

At her cottage, but mom's saying no.

Well, you want something, you've got to give something.

Concessionism, no.

How about you offer to take that math course this summer?

Might as well gouge my eyes out.

Make the concession.

Tell her that you'll do the course

Even if she still says no.

Take a risk, and then you get the weekend.

Is he doing what I think he's doing?

You're the best, dad.

That's my girl. Love you.

Bernard, it's Eric.

Stay away.

Red team standing by.

Sniper's set.

I know you're looking for guidance, Bernard.

Me too.

Maybe we can help each other.

Take your shot, 10 seconds on my Mark.

Finally.

10 seconds.

On his Mark.

Thought he never uses violence.

Who are you, by the way?

I come unarmed.

Just like jesus into the temple.

Trudy prayed with these people, Bernard.

You don't want to hurt them.

I don't think you want to hurt anybody.

You just-- you just want to save your wife.

Stay back.

I'll do it.

Wait for his Mark.

I believed in him my whole life.

and he does this to my wife?

God thinks you doubt him, Bernard.

He's testing you.

Mark.

10...

Who's Mark?

...Nine....

The Book of Mark; Chapter 11. ...Eight....

...Seven... "he who doubts not in his heart, it will be done for him."

...Six... You want god to help you need to get on your knees... You,

...Five... ...And show him that you believe.

...Four...

...Three... Do it now, Bernard!

...Two...

...One. On you knees!

Fire!

It's a sign.

You submitted, and god saved you.

Take off the vest.

I'll hold the gun.

Well, I'll be damned.

Tactical, move in and do a sweep.

Let's get those people out of there.

Good job.

What's next?

Insurance executive blackmailed in philly.

Criminal past.

Get Saunders on that.

What else?

Here's something --

A couple in Denver just received a $5 million ransom demand

To get their son back.

And?

The boy disappeared eight years ago.

Mr. Beaumont.

My name is Maxine Carlson.

I was short-listed for a job at your company,

Until Oliver yates rejected me.

That's what you're doing here?

If Oliver rejected you, that's the end of it.

I'm sorry, Ms. Carlson.

Sir, please.

I just graduated summa cum laude from northwestern.

I've had job offers from law firms,

Investment bankers, tech startups.

Congratulations.

What you just did back there, Mr. Beaumont--

That's all I've ever wanted to do.

That's it?

That's your pitch?

Get in.

Really?

She knows latin.

I was at a class. Vince was home.

I stepped out to take a call.

Reception was always crappy in that house.

It was five minutes. When I got back, he was gone.

And this was eight years ago.

And you never received any ransom demand.

Nothing.

Until last night when vince got home.

That photo was taped to our garage.

They say it's him.

It is him.

He'd be 11 now.

Mr. And Mrs. Miller, this is Oliver yates,

Our psychological profiler.

Hi.

I'm just gonna set up in there, if that okay.

So, how does this work?

Eric does the negotiating.

I deal with law enforcement and handle security assessments.

So, you're, what, a cop?
