Ransom

What, hit and run is your style now?

It's after 10:00.

10:00?

My phone died.

- My alarm didn't go off. - I know, I'm late.

No, I'm late.

I have a meeting at Trinity Towers.

I'm really sorry.

I was thinking, you know,

room service. Mimosas.

Croissants. Rain check?

Hopefully not three years this time.

Four. Not that I'm counting.

Listen, I never really get to Boston.

- You want to do dinner tonight? - Sure.

Okay. And hey,

I had a great time, Maxine.

Thanks. Who's Maxine?

Uh...

Can you...?

Mr. Yates's

private suite. How may I help?

Who shall I say is calling?

One moment.

Maxine.

You're late. Who was that?

Tell Eric I'm on the way.

And that was Maisie.

She's a friend.

You two sound close.

Hanging up now.

Hey.

Oliver called.

He'll be there shortly.

Oliver Yates late?

He's never late.

Well, you know, those big comfy hotel beds.

Said he'll meet you there.

Hey, Max, a friend's coming by later today

to pick up my shower gifts.

Yeah, four more came this morning.

And who, by the way, gives a baby

- a telescope? - Bye, Max.

I had two.

Obviously, I gave up the better one.

Of course you did.

Target acquired.

Commencing op.

Archfield Capital. How can I help?

Eric Beaumont and Zara Hallam to see George Harris.

Thank you.

- Good morning. - Morning.

Crisis Resolution.

We have an appointment with George Harris.

Mr. Beaumont. George Harris.

Hey. Oh, congratulations.

This is my lead investigator, Zara Hallam.

Oliver Yates, my profiler, will be joining us shortly.

- How far along are you? - Six months.

We understand you have some security concerns, Mr. Harris.

Hopefully I'm just being overly cautious,

but you're the experts.

I'm expecting you to tell me.

Thank you.

Ah!

Archfield Capital caters to high-net-worth individuals.

- Caters how? - Forensic accounting.

Our clients invest all over the world,

places where companies might play fast and loose

with investor money.

We make sure they don't get away with it.

Have you had any specific threats?

Well, a few disgruntled customers

unhappy we couldn't recover their assets,

- but nothing I took too seriously. - Right.

- Seriously enough to bring us in. - To be honest,

Mr. Beaumont, I've been lax given the times we live in.

People hire me after their investments have disappeared,

the crime already committed.

I don't want to be in their position.

Excuse me. Yes?

Open your eyes. Open your eyes.

Thank you.

Sir?

Excuse me.

Sir, what are you doing?

Sir, you can't do that.

Oh, my God.

It's happening.

- You were expecting this? - Where are you going, Mr. Harris?

I have a safe room.

Zara, go.

All right, everybody, stay calm

and stay here, please.

Where is George Harris?

How do you know he's here?

I can't remember the code.

I just got it installed.

Just stay calm.

You'll get it.

- Where is he? - If you lower the gun,

we can talk about it.

Who are you?

Someone who can get you what you want. Just lower the gun.

I get it. You're a hero.

Where is he, hero?

Archfield Capital.

Can you get a surveillance feed

for Archfield Capital?

Get up. Walk out of the room.

Crisis Resolution. I've got people inside. Hurry.

Go with her. Now. Go.

Get down. Get down.

Everybody stop what they're doing.

Get down on the ground. Get off the keyboard.

Now.

You.

Hero.

- Open the door. - Well, it can't be opened

from out here. Kind of defeats the purpose.

Open it or he dies.

Why do you...

why do you want to kill Mr. Harris?

He's the target.

What did he do to you?

Showed up on my target list.

Someone hired you to kill him?

I will shoot.

You see that phone right there?

Can you patch me through?

The police are on their way.

That's great. Now put me through.

And cut the alarm.

It's standard protocol.

I'm familiar with these situations.

By now the building's been sealed.

A SWAT unit is three minutes away.

In a couple more minutes, a security perimeter will cut off

all access within six blocks of this address.

You should let me answer it.

- Why would I do that? - I'm a professional negotiator.

If anyone can get them to open that door,

you're looking at him.

A professional negotiator.

People actually make money doing that?

If they succeed.

I generally do.

Let me help you.

Okay, Mr. Negotiator.

Screw me over, see what happens.

Speaker.

Hello.

- Eric. - Mr. Yates.

How lovely to hear your voice.

This gentlemen would like access to his target

in a safe room.

Only the cops can open that.

Police are inbound, Eric. Only they can do it.

- We're locked out. - Tell them that I look forward

to them doing that pronto. Good-bye.

- You didn't let me negotiate. - You didn't

tell me you were talking to a friend.

Eric. I'm betting

that those two can open it from the inside.

Negotiate with them.

Fail,

I start killing hostages.

All right. Listen, I'm gonna need some time.

Don't undersell yourself, Eric.

Lives are at stake.

Okay.

Mrs. Hallam,

Mr. Harris. Everybody okay?

- Uh... - Don't. Don't, don't, don't, don't.

Eric said he needs some time.

He doesn't want us to answer. He's creating an obstacle.

Can you hear me?

- You've been hit. - Hello?

Yeah. Med kit's over there.

Okay. Here.

I don't think this thing works.

It works.

Okay, everybody.

Listen to me very carefully.

I need you to stand up very slowly.

We're gonna consolidate you in the eating area.

Do not speak. Do not run.

We're all gonna get out of this alive.

Got it, Oliver.

Carl, can you run facial recognition

on this ASAP?

Anything from Zara?

She texted. She's in the safe room with Harris.

How many hostages?

I'm counting eight employees,

three clients, plus Eric and Zara.

Oh, and Eric wanted us to know the shooter called George Harris

the "target."

A target? Is the shooter professional?

He's definitely got skills.
