Show: Standoff - 1x13

-All right, everybody back this way.
-FBI!

-Everybody off the platform.
-Back this way,off the platform.

-Upstairs.
-You need to come back this way.

-Everybody upstairs.
-Everyone up the stairs.

FBI.

I need everybody
off of this platform right now.

Come on.
The platform's not safe.

Everyone up the stairs.

Sir.

����Keep moving.

Cover and conceal.

I don't wanna see any black
from the north side.

Copy, we're invisible.

Here they come.

Kill the power to the train.

Please you gotta believe me.

I didn't do nothin' this time.

They cut power to the rails.

FBI!

End of the line,
you are stopped.

You are surrounded.

Throw your weapons on the platform

and let's go home
with nobody else getting shot.

End of the line?

Yeah, what, "Next stop surrender?"

These guys aren't crazies.

It's a professional bank crew
who pulled a job and their getaway went south.

Little humor,it takes the edge off.

They know they gotta give up.

It's hot and sunny
and they're wearing ski suits.

-I vote for crazy.
-It's a look.

Hey!Hands in the air!

Don't shoot!

They told me to leave.
I have to talk to the cops.

Walk forward slow,
keep your hands up.

They got on the train
and they just started shooting.

And they shot at the cameras,
and they yelled us not to move.

And that's when that guy--

he pulled out a gun and said,
"Freeze,"

but they shot him.

He was Metro Police.
Off-duty,

he's the one that called us
when they got on the train.

Please, Luisa's still on the train.

Who?

Luisa, she works with me.

Isabel, we're gonna get her out of there.

Okay, you said that
you needed to find the cops.

Did they have a messagefor us?

He said he wanted a phone.

A...
a throw phone.

I'll have one brought down.

A throw phone?

-That's the first timeI heard an HT request that.
-Pros.

Might be easier than we thought.

Thanks for coming in today.

As if I had a choice.

That was a joke.

I know.

I'm impressed.

I also do card tricks.

If you wanna see a real show.

I just mean that it's a good thing, Neal.

You know, you're feeling clear,lucid.

I think I'm just trying to avoid excitement.

Stay away from danger.

What's your name?

My name's Matt.
What's yours?

We don't wanna talk here.

We wanna move to the next stop,Universal City.

We'll talk to you there.

Why are we whispering?

Universal City and we'll release
everyone on the train unharmed.

What's at,
what's at Universal City?

You have ten minutes.

Duff, send a team ahead.
Secure the platform.

You know, if Red thinks we're just gonna
let this train rollout of here, he's...

Crazy?

Um, I don't...

I don't, I don't think so.

And it hasn't been easy.

In fact, I think...

I think that, um, I,
I think it's happening again.

Come in.

You wanted to see me?

-Yeah.
-I'm sorry,

-I didn't know you were with a patient...
-No, no, it's okay,Bruce,this is Neal...

-Don't even think about it.
-What?

??

You didn't think I would see you?

You didn't think that
I would be ready for you, huh?

Don't leave!

Don't leave.
Don't leave.

-You're my only witness.
-Neal, please.

Lock the door,

-pick up the phone and call the FBI.
-Dr.
G...

Oh, no.

Lock the door!

??

And pick up the...
Don't look at me!

Pick up the phone and call the FBI.

Now!

Carrera.

Well, maybe he knows something we don't.

I wonder if Armed Robbery
has any luck with an ID.

I don't know.??Told Lia let us know
the second anyone knows anything.

Say that again.

No, I'm sorry.

I can't do that.

Well, he's a little busy right now.

Don't you have an on-scene negotiator?

I am the on-scene negotiator.

The guy doesn't want me.

I will only talk to
Special Agent Matt Flannery at the FBI.

This is a matter of national security!

-Neal Polniaczek?
-Neal Polniaczek.

You gotta be kidding me.

Who's Neal Polniaczek?

-He's a repeater.
-One of Matt's long-term clients.

He gets himself into trouble
every couple of years.

I get to talk him out of it.

He's a paranoid schizophrenic Delusional.
You'd love him.

LAPD has secured the scene.

But he's specifically asking for you,
won't talk to anyone else.

-All right,how far is the office?
-Downtown, less than ten.

-How long does Neal take?
-15, 20 minutes.

-You have a talk-down ritual with this guy?
-Yeah.

Do a hand-off.
It'll buy some time.

-Higher power?
-All right.

Red, this is Matt.

Listen, I wanna give you what you want,

but I don't have the authority to do it.

Okay, so I don't wanna waste your time.

I'm gonna pass you up to one of my bosses.

A chain of command thing.

Her name's Emily,

next call you get,
it'll be from her, is that okay?

I'll take that as a "yes."

I'll be 15, 20 min...half an hour or less.

I'm timing you.

All right, Lia, what do we know
about these guys?

Armed Robbery's still working on it.

The ski suit thing doesn't match
any crews on record.

How much did they grab from the bank?

Three million in bearer bonds.

Didn't touch the cash.

Okay, I'm gonna call back in.

-You recording this?
-Yeah, but

try and get them to raise their voices.

-I can't get a voiceprint off a whisper.
-Okay.

This is Emily Lehman.
Who's this?

Who am I speaking with?

You're the one in charge?

Yeah, I'm one of the ones.

I heard you had a specific request.

But I wanna hear it directly from you.

I'm gonna need you to speak up a little bit.

'Cause I'm having trouble hearing you.

I don't believe you.

What's that?
I'm sorry?

Could you speak up?

You're not a boss.

You're another negotiator.

You work in teams of two,
and now you're trying to stall for time.

But I'm telling you right now

if the power doesn't come back
on in eight minutes,

I'm going to start killing passengers
one by one until it does.

Did you hear that okay,

or do you need me to speak up?

Flannery?

Jeff Thoms.

You've talked this HT down before?

Four times in ten years.

The guy belongs in a mental ward,
you ask me.

Well, that's where I last saw him.

Two hostages?
That's different for Neal.

Bruce and Meredith Golden.
It's a husband-and-wife practice.

Which one is his shrink?

The wife.Neal was in session with her

when Dr.
Bruce walked in
and he just snapped.

This according to the receptionist.

Mike Torrez, Tactical Lead.
This is Matt Flannery.

-Hey, where is he?
-Hey.

We got him contained in the back office.

I sent a sniper unit across the street.

They're all set up now,

but there's no direct line of fire
into the room.

Yeah, there's no need.I'm gonna
have him out,weapon down, safe surrender.

Uh, I gotta get back to
this other thing after that.

Have dispatch route the call
through this number at FBI.

-Other thing?
-Yeah, it's a busy day.

I hate to ask this,
but what are our tactical options?

Are we not negotiable?

I think this guy means what he says.

I think he's gonna shoot someone
if we don't turn the power back on.

We can't let them get mobile again.

Hello?

-Meredith Golden?
-Yes.

Meredith, this is Matt Flannery.
I'm sure you've heard of me.

-Who is it?
-I know Neal's watching you.

I just need to ask one thing.

Has he been taking his medication?

Uh, yes, he has.

Is, is that Matt?

Give me that.

Matt?

Neal, how you doing?

Long time no talk.

Matt, I got Sanborn.

He's here.

Okay, good,
let's get him out of there.

No, I...
I mean,
I got the real Sanborn.

He tried to ambush me in broad daylight.

Neal, my name is Bruce Golden.
I'm not your enemy.

Just shut up!
I know who you are.

I've seen your face, Sanborn.

I've seen classified documents.

??The hell is he talking about?

Uh, Agent Sanborn's his nemesis.

Evil CIA spook,uses psychic remote viewing
to see through the eyes of other people

and send them after Neal.

Don't look at me.
It's not my fantasy.
Neal?

Neal, you there?

I'm watching him.

Okay, well, now, y-you realize
that's not the real Sanborn.

Right?
Sanborn's back at Langley.

That's an innocent civilian.

No, I've...

I-I've seen his file.
I-I've seen his face.

-W-Where'd you see his file?
-I don't know.

Okay, well, I want to get this guy
just as bad as you do, Neal,

but let's, let's do this thing right.

Let's break his connection,
spare the innocent.

How do I know you're really you?

Better give me the ID test.

He's going to ask me a riddle.

Who are you supposed to be to him?

It's kind of like The Fugitive.

All right, Sanborn's the one- armed man;

Neal is Kimball;
and I guess I'm Gerard.

We're, we're at odds,

-but we're united against a common enemy.
-Sanborn.

Right.You negotiate with
this guy inside of his delusion?

Well, if it ain't broke,
you know what I'm saying?

The man is afraid to go home

because the man in the mask is there.

Why?

Hmm.

Hmm...
is it a Halloween mask?

No.

If you get the riddle wrong,
he kills the hostage?

No.It's third base, baseball.

He's afraid to go home
'cause the catcher is...

I know the answer to the thing;
I'm just trying to, you know,

make it a little,you know...

Already know the answer.

How am I doing?
I'm two minutes to deadline.

How are you doing?

Listen, we don't have to figure out
how to get those guys off the train.

They've already got a plan for that.

It just got interrupted,that's all.

-Is it a mud mask?
-No.

-What?
-Nothing.

Hold on, Neal.
I'm, I'm thinking.

Emily, listen.

Their escape was probably more worked out
than "Let's jump on the Metro with ski suits on."

There's a plan.

They have a plan,
and it doesn't involve a Metro co

and it doesn't involve taking hostages.

But it does involve getting to a stop
at Universal City.

Right.

Or somewhere in between.

Huh, thanks, Matt.

The man is on third base.

The answer is correct.
Your identity has been confirmed.

Roger that.

I'm just glad that you're here,Matt.
I couldn't do this without you.

We're gonna defeat him together

and we're gonna make sure that
nobody gets hurt.

All right,check this out.

It's a service access tunnel for maintenance.

I wonder if you can jump off those trains
while they're moving.

You can.

You would die.

The things move between 60 and 70 miles per hour.

But you could throw something off.

What are you thinking?

I'm thinking we turn the power on.

-And let them get away?
-Yeah, just to the next stop.

Then we'll turn it back off.

Okay, that will give us some leverage
to get the passengers off now,

-and give HRT a better shot at the next platform.
-No.

They'd be out of sight for a minute and a half.

-That's no good.
-Yeah, well,

they're going to execute someone in 45 seconds.
Also no good.

All right,make the offer.

Get them talking past their deadline.

Duff.

We're sending a train your way.
Set to intercept.

All right, train's coming to us.
Let's fan out.

Let's fan out.
I want every door covered.

They could move positions during transit.??

I can arrange to have the power turned back on,

but I'm gonna need something from you first
just to justify this action to my bosses.

Like you said,
I'm just another negotiator.

How many?

Ten.

Five.

All right, five is good.

Power goes on, they walk out.
Then we move.

??,Power goes on, five walk out.

-Agreed?
-Done.

When I say so,
you people I tapped stand by the door.

Sir.

Sir?

Power back to the tracks in ten seconds.

All right,the power's coming back on.

Hey, blue boy.

Look.

Look, I just thought you should know,

when you pulled me out of there,
??

They didn't release the damn hostages.

Neal, did you find the code cipher?

I-I did, I got it out of him,

but it's, um, it's a tough one.

I didn't say anything to you, Neal,

and if I did, I didn't mean...

-??Don't argue with him.
-Quiet!

I don't know if I can crack it, Matt.

I almost got it.I'm, I'm just,

I'm just missing the last number.

Well, let me help you with it.
What are the first numbers?

-You got a pencil?
-Yeah, go ahead.

First number is 13.

Next is 14, 15,

16, 17...

20,

22...

31.

100...

There's one more.
I just, I just can't see it.

No problem, Neal.
What do we got?

121.

Each number is 16

-to a different base of 16 minus one...
-Okay, whatever, thank you.

121.

Did you hear that, Sanborn?

The FBI is on to you.

Okay, hold on, Neal.

We're using the code to trace Sanborn's location.

All right, good.Good work, Mathers.

Listen, real quick, uh,
how's Emily doing with the subway?

Scene's moved to Universal City.

Rest of the team's heading there now.

-What you got?
-Nothing.

Just holding like you ordered.

-Where's Red and Blue?
-Well, you tell me.

They were there when the train left, right?

FBI!
Nobody move!

-He's long gone.
-Yeah, I know.

So is his gun.

Yeah, I noticed that.

Did you notice how many hostages
we had at the last stop?

Yeah, 25, dropped to 24.

??Notice how many we got now?

26.

Meredith.

Bruce, be quiet.
Let them handle this.

I've always loved you.
You know that, right?

Don't talk to her.
Don't, don't look at her.

I'm not going to
let you jump into another body.

I'm tired of it.
I'm,
I'm tired of the game between us.

I'm sick of you
turning innocent people into assassins.

Luisa.

Which one of you is Luisa?

All right,Luisa,it's okay.

Did you notice the gunmen throwing their bags,
guns,and ski clothes out the back door?

They told us to keep our heads down
and our eyes closed.

If we looked up,
they shoot us.

All right.

Nobody gets off the train.

This last part--
it's basically The Exorcist.

Neal believes that
the hostage is possessed by Sanborn,

so once we break Sanborn's secret code,

we can drive him out of the hostage's body.

Then the hostage is no longer a threat to Neal.

Gun goes down.

-Were you able to trace his location?
-Yes, Neal.

I gotta hand it to you.

That code allowed our satellites
to hone right in on Sanborn.

Well, do me a favor.
Catch him this time.

We will, but right now,
let's send him packing.

I'm gonna start the countdown.
Are you ready?

Oh, yeah, uh...
okay, I'm ready.

Return all curses to sender.

Ten...

nine...

eight...

seven...

six...

five...

four...

three...

two...

one.

Zero.

Return all curses to sender.

And that's...

Return all curses to sender.

??

-Oh, my God.
-Why, why did I...?
why did I do that?

Why did I do that?

-Let her go, Neal.
-No.

What happened, Matt?

What happened?

??

Neal.

??

What happened?

You tell me what happened!

You tell me!

Calm yourself, okay?

Just take yourself to a calm place.

I'm sorry.

I d...
I d...
I didn't mean it.

It w...
it wasn't me.

-What?
-They're saying

he encouraged Neal to shoot the hostage,
and that's what ended up happening.

-That doesn't even make any sense.
-Yeah, I know

but����
Matt's refusing to leave the scene

and LAPD wants me to rein him in.

Flannery.

Get him out of there.

I gotta get down there.

All right, uh, you,
I need a ride downtown.

All right, Cheryl,
two minutes.

-No, I can't wait.
-One minute.

You know,we can sit here all day
or we can end this right now.

Whoever robbed the bank
on 7th and Figueroa,

I want you to put your hands up right now.

Now, why didn't I think of that?

Look, we already found the money and the guns
you tossed into the tunnel,

and it's only a matter of time before we find you.

You know what?
The next time that you try this,

you might want to think twice
before having everyone but you

put their palms to the glass.

Whoever's fingerprints are missing
gets a one-way ticket to Bakersfield.

Unless you want to make a deal.

Okay, the first bank robber to turn himself in
wins a reduced sentence.

??I am a federal agent making a promise
in front of a bunch of witnesses.

Okay, and I'm giving you a deadline.

Offer's only good for 30 seconds.

29, 28,

-27, 26...
-What if we give the other guy up?

Hands on your head!

Dumb son of a bitch.

-She was bluffing!
-Whoa, whoa, hey!

Down on the ground!

I don't care how hot it gets up there,

you do not raise your voice to me
when I'm talking to my HT.

-Your HT?
-Yeah, my HT.

Okay, now,he's your HT,

then maybe you can explain to me

-what the hell happened up there!
-You were looking at the same thing I was!

-The guy's about to surrender, he's...
-I saw you perform a countdown with the guy,

-using active, inflammatory phrases...
-You gonna throw a textbook at me now?

I'm gonna throw a lawsuit at you
when this thing comes down on my head.

'Cause that lady's gonna
sue the living crap out of somebody,

-You want to cover your ass,
-if she gets out alive!

start covering your ass!
Do what you need to do.

The guy is too wild;
we got to smoke him out.

Listen to me.All right,
this is not his fault.

I know that.

Everything I say is gonna sound crazy now.

Even though I'm not.

Look...

I'm in the clear now.

I'm in the clear,
and I don't know what happened.

You have to believe me.

I believe you, Neal.

'Cause you're my doctor.

You have to tell me why,
so I can tell them why.

Because if I walk out of here now,

they're gonna kill me.

If you let me go,
I'll tell them.

No, that's not...
I can't.

That...
letting you would be crazy.

And I'm not crazy.

You have to tell them that.

Matt?

I'm Jeff Thoms from the LAPD.
We spoke earlier.

Yeah.

Yeah, okay, I, uh...

Look, I know I have problems,all right?

Uh, I have a disease.

But it doesn't make me stupid!

Okay?

Of course I remember talking to you because...

you're the guy who's sitting outside
with a gun pointed at me!

Look, I'm scared, okay?

You're scaring me!

There's no talking to this guy.

Sniper takes out the window,

draw his attention east,
we breach north.

Do it.

Okay, I know what you're gonna say,

and I know what you heard,
and I'm telling you straight out,

I did everything right with this guy.

-You were here last time.
-Okay, what happened?

I don't know.
I don't know.

I did the three steps;
it was just like last time,

just like the time before that??.

-Matt, is the hostage still in there?
-Yeah.

Okay, 'cause they're gonna go.

Hey, Thoms.

-Stand back.
-Stand down.

Lieutenant Thoms.

Cheryl Carrera.

-We spoke on the phone.
-Yeah.

-We're about to breach.
-Not on my command you're not.

-Your command?
-Yes.

We have an ongoing case with Neal Polniaczek.

His presence here puts us in charge.

Only reason you're in charge is
because the perp asked for your man.

And your man came in here
and got someone killed.

We don't see it that way.

You can go though.
Thank you.

Fine.

Your mess, you can clean it up.

You okay?

Yeah.

Everybody make it off the train?

Yeah.

-Get your guys?
-Mm-hmm.

Okay.

What?

-My head was there.
-No.

-No, my head wasn't here.
-No.

I was, uh...I was talking to Neal,

-but I was thinking about the subway.
-No.

-I don't think so.
-You don't think so?

What do you want us to do, Bureau?

Whatever I tell you.

Right now, I want you to safety your weapons
and call off your sniper.

We're not done talking.

-Anything else?
-Yes.

Want you to set up a laser mic
with your sniper unit.

Bounce it off the window
so we can hear inside.

No, you said you did everything right,
same as before.

What changed?

I don't know.
What's it matter?

Well, what does it matter?

It matters if you want to
save the other hostage.

Matters if you want to save Neal.

Come on, when was the last time
you talked to this guy?

Couple years ago.

Okay, and who was secondary?

Was there an incident log?

There was more than that.

The video's not high quality,

but what do you expect
from a surveillance feed, right?

I'm uploading it now.

John and Mary are on the floor.

So this happened when Neal was an inpatient.

Yeah.
Pescadero State Hospital.

It's shut down now.

Mary is dead.

Attacked one of his hall mates.

And you'd already established
this ritual with him?

First call out was to his house,
probably '93, '94.

High-risk suicide.

Guy talked weird.
I just went with it.

Listen to me, Neal.
