Wulfgar's on the tram.
Please.
I'm aware of every trick.
Do not force me to prove it.
Thank you.
Now... we'll get better acquainted.
Let's go!
- You have three children, right?
- How do you know that?
All the lines are open.
Detective Munafo, Sergeant Fox.
Gimme your binoculars.
Take it over the bridge.
Face the windows, everybody! Quickly!
- Can you see him?
- Yes, I see him.
Shakka's with him
and he has about 25 hostages.
He's doing something at
the back of the car. Wait a minute.
Your husband is first assistant to
the French ambassador, is he not?
Please... leave us alone.
We've done nothing.
You must be very proud.
You will come over...
- No, you take me!
- Sh.
What is it? What is happening?
Life, Mr Marigny.
No... it's not...
He's taken a woman to the front
of the tram. He has her against a window.
- What the hell is he doing?
- He's making the rules.
Get a little closer. I wanna see his face.
This one's for you, DaSilva.
Christ. Don't do it.
- Goddamnit, Matt, he killed her.
- I requested no police.
Get rid of the body.
This is Wulfgar calling.
Yes, we hear you.
This is Sergeant Fox.
If the UN authorities are present,
I'm ready to proceed.
I've been instructed to ask if you would
release all non-political hostages.
You are wasting your time.
- As you see, I am not to be taken lightly.
- We hear you.
Before we go any further...
there's an infant here.
I want it taken off.
I don't want the press to write
that I'm a man without a conscience.
- All right, what do you want?
- In five minutes, I'll lower a cable.
If you want the infant alive...
you'd better hurry.
- I'll be ready.
- Not you, Fox!
I want that bastard!
What bastard?
Me.
You can't let him go up there.
He'll waste him!
Look, I'm in charge here, Fox!
DaSilva's the man.
The barge is nearly in place.
How do you feel?
Helpless?
I could have cut the cable.
It's a long way down.
- Why'd you kill the woman?
- I wanted to.
So why don't you kill me?
In due time.
I want you to tell 'em
I have brought the city to its knees.
Police... are cowards.
What?
I said... tell 'em.
He's brought the city to its knees.
The police are cowards.
We're not that different, Deke.
I do not enjoy killing, but it's my job.
Someone has to do it.
I represent... oppressed victims
who have nothing.
I speak only for them. I'm their voice.
I'm a liberator.
You think you're a liberator?
It's fascinating. Yes.
- The child!
- No! No!
Come on. Come on!
- Give it to me!
- Please be careful with him.
Sit down.
This is for the press.
- Now, you may drop the child...
- Oh, no!
- Don't drop this.
- He'll be all right.
What if you don't win this time?
Try again.
Shakka, lower him.
Please be careful with him!
Deke, you must realize...
...we're not heroes, we're victims.
This is Wulfgar.
- Go ahead.
- These are my demands.
I gave DaSilva a declaration...
...to be published in
The Times and The Washington Post...
...and read over all networks.
- We don't control the press.
- No excuses!
I want a jet and a bus to the airport
by ten o'clock tonight.
And no police.
The following comrades...
...are to be released before ten o'clock.
Mohammed Yafi, Rafael Saldaсa...
...Miroslav Jakovic, Liu Chan Tao.
- May we have until morning?
- Ten o'clock sharp.
And DaSilva... will drive the bus.
We may not make it this time.
It does not matter.
Let me have the cassette recording
of Hartman's last lecture on Shakka...
...the smallest tape recorder you can find,
ten feet of wire and an activator button.
Shakka Holland,
alias Shakka Kapoor...
The drama has not seen
a change for the better or worse.
The hostages still remain over 250 feet
above the East River in a cable car.
Several hours ago an innocent woman
was sent to her death...
...by that terrorist known only as Wulfgar
and a single female companion.
Moments after that savage killing...
...that same terrorist demanded
an infant be
