He-He's always been good in emergencies.
[groans.]
- You okay? - Yeah.

- l'm already tired.
- Oh, yeah.
Tell me about it.
Do you think he's gonna shoot us? - No.
No, no.
- [groaning.]
Dad? Yeah, sweetie? Spencer's grandmother might be sick.
Excuse me.
Her angina's bothering her.
She's sweating.

She shouldn't be on the floor, Benny.
Nobody should.
Listen, l'm gonna put her in a chair.

- [groans.]
- Here you go, Nana.
Thank you.
You know what? Everybody should be at tables.
Okay? You know, just until Giancarlo calls.
Whatever.
Okay, listen.
Just grab a seat, everybody.
There's plenty of tables.
[people groaning.]
[phone rings.]
[woman.]
Over here.
[woman.]

Jake Manning? - Yes.
This is Lieutenant Saticoy, Chicago Police.
ls everyone all right in there? Yes.
Everyone's fine.
ls Janetti aware that you're speaking to me? Yes.
Benny's right here.
Good.
ls Benny feeling okay? Fine.
Will he talk to me? They want to talk to you.
lt's not the same guy as before.
lt's a woman, okay? Sounds pretty nice.
Maybe she could help.
[sighs.]
Hello? - Hi, Benny? - Yeah.
This is Ruth Saticoy, l'm calling to make sure everything's all right.
Can l get you anything? Get Giancarlo down here to apologize.
We're working on that, but we haven't been able to find him, Why don't you all just go away until he comes? l can't do that unless you do something for me.
l need you to unlock the door and let those people out, Why can't you all just go away, and l'll promise to let them go? - Why can't you do that? - How about l come in there, and we can talk about this in person? l know what you're doing, okay? You're not trying to help me.
You're trying to trick me, because l told you what would help, and you don't seem to listen, so why bother even asking? Where's the ''end'' button? Turn this off.
l got it.
Okay, okay.
[woman whimpering.]
There.
lt's off.
Okay? Wait.
Just give it to me.
l might want it later.
Give it to me.
Okay.
There.
ls that better? [Jake.]
lt's fine now, right? - We got ears.
- [man.]
All right, let's go.
[Lily.]
She didn't want to go to work today.
l made her go.
So this is all your fault.
lt's like l had to show her that she was irresponsible.
Hey.
[chatter on police radio.]
l'm hungry.
Well, l think we could all use something to eat.
Tell you what, why don't l, uh Why don't l go fix us up something? You know? Maybe a little carbonara or something? No, no.
Grace go get some of that birthday cake.
Anyone who wants some can have some.
- Sure, Benny.
- l'll go with you.
No, no, no.
- You go with her.
- Okay.
Okay.
No ice cream.
Right.
[sighs.]
l can't believe this.
lt's so unreal.
lt feels oddly normal to me.
l'm surprised it doesn't happen more often.
l always think people with guns are gonna burst into wherever l am, tornadoes are gonna come, or my parents are gonna be killed in a car accident.
l have trouble believing the world can exist without a catastrophe.
l'm really scared of tidal waves.
lt's a particular danger in Chicago.
l mean, l know her.
She's a strong person.
Like, when they say ''grace under pressure,'' that's who she is.
You gonna eat that? Jake, there's something that l have to tell you.
l mean, l wasn't gonna tell you l was going to tell you, but l kind of chickened out, but now, l know that l have to tell you.
What? l'm pregnant.
Oh.
But l thought you couldn't l You know, that-that you weren't able to Yeah, well, l-l couldn't, but then l did, so apparently, l am.
- Pregnant.
- Pregnant.
Huh.
Police say the situation inside is volatile, lnitial attempts to communicate with the suspect have failed, Judy, l want to go down there.
No, sweetie.
Honey, we can't go.
l-l want you to just finish this cake for your dad so you'll have it for him.
Honey, we're not going.
Okay? - We can't just stay here.
- l know.
Listen, honey, l know how helpless you feel.
- l don't care.
l'm going.
- l know, but you can't.
We're not gonna Mom doesn't want me there in case they get shot but she's there.
[doorbell rings.]
W-We were worried.
Hi, Zoe.
What are you doing here? We just wanted to see if you're okay.
Oh, l'm sorry.
Please come on in.
l'm so sorry.
This is so horrible.
- lt's awful.
[sobbing.]
- Oh This one? Thank you, officer.
You want to sit in here until you warm up? No, no.
l don't want to sit down.
Oh, God.
When she ran across the street, or she left for school, or when l would leave 'em with a sitter, l'd think, ''Okay, this is when it's gonna happen.
'' lt's like l knew, like it was only a question of when.
l'm telling you, it's gonna be okay.
How can you know that? - [groans.]
- Nana, are you okay? l'm just a little dizzy.
Dad, l think Spencer's grandmother needs an aspirin or something.
Hey, Benny l'm just gonna get the first aid kit, okay? No.
The kid's grandmother doesn't feel well.
Well, he can get it, then, He doesn't know where it is, Benny.
You can get it, Grace.
[man.]
Tactical unit, first position, We have an elderly hostage who's ill, lf her condition deteriorates, we're gonna have to go in, Two team, secure the perimeter, - Sharpshooters into position, - Lil! Lieutenant, what's going on? Don't worry.
lt's just the tactical unit.
You mean like a SWAT team? l thought you were still negotiating.
We can't have you in this area anymore.
lt's not safe.
He's right.
Let's get outta the way.
[Patterson.]
This officer will show you to a much safer area.
[Rick.]
Thank you.
[officer.]
Ready, go.
[weapons clicking.]
[chatter on police radio.]
[man #1.]
This hostage situation is going into its sixth hour, lt seems that negotiations have come to a standstill, and several SWAT units have been deployed, [woman.]
We can only guess that it's just a matter of time before action is taken, [man #2.]
Still no word on the condition of the hostages, Emotions are running high as the waiting continues, [man #3.]
The primary suspect, Benjamin Janetti, remains a mystery, His profile reveals no prior arrests, no history of mental illness, and nothing to indicate a propensity for violence, Here's some water.
Thanks.
Thank you for being here with me.
l don't know what l would do if you weren't here.
There's nowhere l'd rather be.
Oh, Rick, my little girl's in there.
She's in there, and there's nothing l can do about it.
Oh, God.
[sobbing.]
Jake, l hope you don't think that l want something from you.
l mean, this may be the only chance l have of ever becoming pregnant, so it it's kind of a miracle, in my opinion.
Yeah, l guess it would be.
l mean, we're clearly not gonna get married or anything.
l just l just thought you should know.
Yeah, that's fair.
- Dad? - [shuddering.]
Hey, you okay? Okay.
All right, Nana.
The older woman, she's really doing worse.
What do you mean? She's sick, Benny, She needs medical attention, So? l mean, what do you want me to do, you know? l mean, l'm sorry, but it's not like l'm l'm in charge.
- [groans.]
- Dad! She says her chest is really hurting.
We're gonna get help.
Okay.
Benny, we gotta do something.
l mean right now! Grace, in the kitchen is oxygen.
You know where it is? - Uh-huh.
- Go get it.
Spencer, go help her.
- What? - lt's right here.
Right here.
- Come on, damn it! - Dad, it won't come off! You got her? - Break it! - No, no! There's a latch.
lt's okay.
lt's okay.
Spencer? - She's gonna die.
- No, she's not! - And l did it.
- What are you talking about? Spencer? C-Come on, we'll go sit with her.
- No, l can't.
- She's not gonna die.
She didn't feel well, and l made her come so l could see you.
l know.
lt's okay.
- l've never seen anybody die.
- l'm scared too.
No, you're not.
Spencer.
Spencer.
l should've beaten him up, gotten the gun away.
You're not gonna take his gun.
Even my father wouldn't.
- l was right next to him! - Spencer! Excuse me.
Give me the phone so l can call for help.
No.
This woman is in trouble.
[woman on radio.]
ETA; five minutes, Keep me apprised, [helicopter whirring.]
Stand by to breach, enter and secure.
[chattering.]
What's happening? Benny, she can't breathe! Now give me the phone! - [Patterson on bullhorn.]
Janetti! - What's happening? This is Captain John Patterson Will you give me the damn phone? - Can't breathe! - She can breathe.
She's gonna die and it's gonna be all your fault.
We are aware that one of the hostages is seriously ill, lf you do not allow medical personnel to enter the building, we will do it by force, How do they know that? lt doesn't matter! Let her go! Benny, l repeat; You must let the sick woman go.
[beeps.]
- This thing's on! - Let her go.
Okay, you're in trouble! All right, everyone move to the door! Move! Get up! Get up! Move now! Get in front of the door! - [grunts.]

Put her in the chair over here.
We have movement inside.
