>Jack, can you hear me?
How many people you got in there, Jack?
Count how many people are here.
Everybody put your hands up, please.
N. Y.P.D., we got a situation here.
We need you people back on the sidewalk.
- Stay behind the barricade.
- Twenty-six, 28. Okay, thank you.
That's everybody?
Please, don't cry, don't cry.
Everything's gonna be all right, just relax.
Stay calm, okay? Thank you.
- What is it?
- Thirty-one. Thirty-one.
Okay, we have about
40 people on the bus.
Okay, that's good.
You know, it's important
that we're clear with each other, Jack.
ESU and HNT are in place.
The block is sealed, Jack.
It's a frozen zone.
So let's work this out
so everybody can go home, all right?
That's all we wanna do.
Just end it, nice and easy.
Jack?
Jack? This is as far as you go, buddy.
Keep talk...
- Is everybody okay?
- Yeah.
- Hi, how are you?
- Good.
How are you?
My name's Eddie. Hi, how you doing?
Everybody's okay?
What's your name?
- Christina.
- Christina.
That's a pretty name.
How old are you, Christina?
- Seven.
- Seven years old.
And my strawberry recipe...
I know I got one. Let me see.
Where's my strawberry recipe? Let's see.
Angel-food-cake recipe right here.
Here we go, strawberry fan.
See right here on the top?
I can put a fan on the top.
You know, like a Chinese fan?
I could do that.
When's your birthday?
- September 22nd.
- Oh, so that's soon.
Gonna be 8 years old, huh?
That's gonna be a good day for you.
When's your birthday?
Today, actually.
- Yeah.
- Happy birthday to you.
And, yeah, every day
is somebody's birthday, you know.
That's gonna be the motto for my shop:
"Every day's a birthday," you know.
I didn't know my birthday
was gonna turn out like this, but...
Yeah, I'm glad to be, you know,
here, alive, you know.
- Right here, Jack.
- Yeah, Sheehan.
Commissioner, sir.
- Sheehan?
- Right here.
All right. This is what I want.
I want you to get me
Assistant District Attorney MacDonald...
...a court stenographer
and somebody from TV.
Somebody that I would recognize.
I want them to come on the bus
and record sworn testimony.
When I get what I want,
I'll let everybody out. Safely.
- That's a tall order. It'll take some time...
- Just do it. I'm not in the mood, okay?
Get these people here in 15 minutes...
... or I'm gonna shoot
these passengers one at a time...
- ... and throw them out the door.
- Jack, be cool, okay?
Let's not do anything rash.
This thing can end without bloodshed.
- Okay? We can work this...
- Fifteen minutes.
Jack? Jack?
He's gone.
All right, everybody on your feet.
- Jack, what are you doing?
- Gotta get these people off this bus.
But you just made your call.
You called the DA. They said they'd come.
- Everybody's coming.
- Nobody's coming, okay?
What do you mean,
nobody's coming?
They're gonna breach this bus
in less than five minutes.
- They're gonna kill me, kill you...
- Jack, what about testifying?
We're right here. We can go.
We can end this.
- We can testify.
- Nobody's testifying.
It's all over, Eddie.
We lose, kid.
- Hey, Ray.
- Frank.
You?
You guys going in?
The commissioner hasn't given us
the green light yet.
Well, I don't need to remind you
that he shot two of us.
Enough said.
We got maybe 40 civilians on that bus.
Get them out.
I don't want anybody hurt,
including our guys.
Nobody's gonna get hurt, commissioner.
These guys know what to do.
- We have movement.
- Let's move in.
- Hold your fire. Repeat, hold your fire.
- Move in to the bus. Let's go.
Hey. What..?
Bob.
When you get outside...
- Happy birthday.
- Thank you.
They'll take you to a holding area.
It'll be hectic.
- But everybody's out there...
- Listen to me, listen to me.
Once you get outside that perimeter,
