Crisis Point

- : Can I help you with something?

Everybody on the floor!

Oh my god!

- Just do as he says!

On the floor now!

Keep your hands where I can see them.

Nobody move!

- That's it? Nah! Nah! There's gotta be more than that!

- Hey, th--th--there's more in the safe.

- : 911, what's your emergency?

- Yeah, there's a man with a gun holding up a corner store.

I mean it!

I'll kill him if you move!

Hurry up!

It's over, man.

Just put down the gun.

- Aaah! What are you doing?

No! Wait, I didn't--

Please!

- Per capita, the United States imprisons more people

than any other nation on Earth,

2.5 times that of England, France and Germany combined.

Is it because we have more crime here?

No, it's because we incarcerate more people for more reasons,

drug possession topping the list.

We also keep them in prison longer.

And the sad truth is, the longer someone stays in prison,

the less chance he or she has of being rehabilitated,

which is why we also have the highest percentage

of re-offenders in the world.

So, as you contemplate careers

that will put you in direct contact with criminals,

you might want to bear in mind

that the time they spent in prison

could've actually been the reason

they became true criminals.

Hannah.

Would you mind taking over?

Of course.

Is everything OK?

Yeah.

I apologize. I can't stay.

Miss Marshall will take it from here.

Please read the next chapter and be prepared

to discuss it next time.

Thank you.

So, um, incarceration rates

and their effect on recidivism.

If you'll look at the table on page 73.

Go, go, go!

What's going on?

What do we got?

- One gunman as far as we can tell.

Guy witness who called it in said the owner's in there

with some customers.

We don't know how many.

We IDed the gunman?

Not yet.

: Please!

Hello?

- : Darcy, break room now.

OK.

Yeah?

Tanya just called me to the break room?

Yeah, I know.

Me too.

- : I'm speaking to you from downtown, where we are...

It's your sister!

...the situation is evolving at a convenience store.

Information is sketchy at the time, but what we can confirm

is that there is a gunman

holding several customers and the owner hostage

inside the store.

In this evolving crisis, the Detroit Police Department

has called in Cameron Grainger

a PhD in criminal psychology, to act as its negotiator.

The gunman appears to be acting alone and as of yet...

- Hey, she'll be fine. She's been through it a million times.

Aaah! Aaah!

Don't move.

- My name is Cameron Grainger.

I'm standing right outside.

We'd like to resolve this situation so no one gets hurt.

So whatever you want or need,

I'm sure we can get that for you.

But we need to know what that is.

So, you're gonna have to talk to me.

I know you don't know me.

But you can trust me.

I don't want anyone to get hurt here.

That includes you.

You're gonna have to take the first step,

or I can't help you.

Hello?

Hi.

Thank you.

That showed a lot of strength. Are you OK?

Yeah.

What's your name?

My name's not important.

OK. No problem.

Are you the only one in there with a gun or are there others?

No, just me.

Is anybody hurt?

Does anyone need medical attention?

- Look, you said you could help me.

I can.

Tell me what it is you want.

Uh, I--I don't know.

- Well, do you know why you went in there,

why you're holding all those people against their will?

I didn't plan that.

I need money.

- So, are you saying you went into this store to rob it?

- Yeah, and then the cops showed up before I could get away.

- So you don't know anybody in there?

No.

- You didn't go in there to hurt someone?

No.

I don't want to hurt anybody.

- Great, then you and I are on the same page.

So, what can we do to resolve this?

I don't know.

He's just a kid.

I'm in a lot of trouble here.

Not necessarily.

No one's been hurt. All the money's still there.

If you cooperate now, we can work something out.

Why should I trust you?

- Because I am going to trust you.

to keep your end of the bargain.

What do you want me to do?

I want you to put down the gun

and come out the store with your hands behind your head.

- There's a lot of cops out there.

They're gonna shoot me.

They won't. I promise you.

And why should I trust you?

- Can you see out the window? You see the police cars?

Yeah. I see them.

OK, I'm gonna stand up.

Cameron!

Hold your fire. Repeat, hold your fire!

Copy that.

Can you see me?

Yeah. I can see you.

OK.

- Something is happening. The negotiator is standing up.

It appears she is communicating with the assailant on her cell.

- I'm gonna set down the phone a minute

and take off my vest.

What's she doing?

- She's walking toward to store, removing her bulletproof vest.

- Don't worry, she knows what she's doing.

- ...meant to be a sign of trust.

I'm not carrying a weapon.

Can you see that?

Yeah.

OK, I'm gonna come closer.

I'll be right outside the door.

No one's gonna shoot you when you come out,

because they'd shoot me too.

OK?

OK.

All right.

- She continues to approach the entrance of the store

still on the phone, no doubt with the suspect.

- We can put an end to this right now

and no one will get hurt.
