The Negotiator (1998) Soundboard Edit

After hours of little action, we've witnessed a flurry of activity..

After that, there'll be no deal to negotiate.

ALLEN: He just wanted to hog the spotlight!

And I think l've proved I'm willing to do that.

And it looks like there's a little more action going on now.

Anything you might have overheard or know...

Are you gonna get that or what?

ATTORNEY: Mrs. Roenick, we should go. Fuck you, Danny.

BECK [OVER RADlO]: Give me status.

But l'm that same son of a bitch you trusted your lives with...

But you make one wrong move...

Come on, Chris. You gotta admit something's going on.

Come on.

Come on. Hold on.

Danny Roman's been shot.

Danny, can you hear me?

Danny, can you hear me?

Danny, Danny, listen to me. Pick up the radio and talk to me, man.

Danny, Danny, look, I'm not some just dirt merchant...

Danny, please talk to me.

Danny, the serial number on the gun It was one of three stolen from a dealer.

DANNY: Frost.

DANNY: Nate is vibrating.

DANNY: Now, let's try this again.

DANNY: That's bullshit! NlEBAUM: No.

DANNY: What the ?

DANNY: You're talking about the wrong movie.

Danny's trying to get us to Stockholm so we think twice about taking him out.

Do not! l did not give the order! Do not!

Don't shine the light in here, officer.

Drop your weapon!

Every night.

FARLEY: We locked down the elevators from the 20th floor down.

Five:

FROST: I've known you 20 years. What are you doing?

Fuck are you doing?

Get him back.

Give me your hand.

Go with Tonray, answer his questions and then stay in case we need you.

GREY [OVER RADlO]: Danny, pick up the phone or we will be forced to come in.

Hates Raoull

He got all six. We got nothing.

He heard Niebaum's name mentioned. He doesn't know what to do.

He's been around, working cases like this. He knows his shit.

He's nervous, Danny. What do you expect?

Hey, Danny, listen, they found the gun that killed Nathan.

Hey! Cut the music!

Hold it right there, Hellman.

Hold it right there.

Holy Jesus.

Hoorah!

I arrested you in '92 for credit card fraud.

I called for the breach. lt was conducted with my authority.

I can make this work

I can't give you what I don't have.

I couldn't trust him or Internal Affairs.

I didn't hear a thing.

I don't wanna do this through the door.

I don't want this to get personal for us.

I figured that with you on the board you might have heard something.

I got a gun pointed at the back of my head.

I guess you're all wondering why we're here.

I heard something on one of them. I need you to ask Linda about it.

I just wanna see if he's here, you know?

I know you're one of them. I know you are.

I love you too.

I wanna see her first

I went to the guys who were implicated in the taps.

I wonder why that is!

I would like to introduce you to the negotiator, Chris Sabian...

I'm just doing this to prove my innocence.

I'm Rudy, so don't shoot me thinking I'm him. Please.

I've done one better. I found your informant.

If he's out of the building, he's no longer in your jurisdiction.

If you cough, sneeze, uh, cross your legs, scratch your ass...

Isn't it, Roman?

It would be helpful if you could tell me...

It wouldn't surprise me in the least.

It's a common mistake.

It's gonna be all right.

Just wanted to say hello before the curtain goes up on this little drama.

Karen.

L wanna do everything I can to help you get out.

Let's go back to the beginning and do this whole thing again.

Lock the door! Get out! Get out!

Lock the door. Lock it!

Maggie, would you tell my wife something for me?

Make a deal for yourself while you still can, Argento.

Make a hole here. Come on, come on, back up.

Make me believe why I should deal with you...

Making us think he's innocent after all those

MORAN: You bet, we need to contain the building. I need teams on 1 9...

Move! Move!

Mrs. Roman...

Never use no, don't, won't or can't, all right?

Next time you try and bluff, make sure you charge your cell phone.

Nice to meet you

No more crazy shit, all right?

No, l need you guys..

No, l was in the Army and l fucking hate dogs

No, you can't see a priest.

No!

Nobody gets hurt.

Now, I know Nate tapped Hellman and the others.

OFFlCER 2: Get down!

OFFlCER: Just keep them back there!

Okay.

Palermo, take that toothpick out of your mouth.

Palermo, take the subject out!

Put your weapons down and move your asses out of here now

REPORTER 1 : Lieutenant!

Right now, l'm the only thing between you...

Right.

RUDY: All right, all right.

RUDY: Dan.

Sabian?

SABlAN [OVER RADlO]: Let's get you some help.

SABlAN: Exactly.

SABlAN: Turn the electricity back on. BECK: Could you repeat that, Sabian?

SABlAN: Well, I didn't say l read just one book.

Sailor says:

Set up command on that barge over there so the press can't get to us.

Shh.

Shot fired. Shot fired. Can anyone see?

Shut the fuck up, Niebaum!

Shut up!

Sit down, Danny.

So you killed Nathan, I killed Danny...

Son of a bitch. Go to Camera 2.

Sorry.

Special Agents Grey, this is Moran.

Take a wild guess who's on the news again

Take the subject out.

Tell him Sabian's on his way.

Thanks.

That shit's not mine. You planted this shit.

That's it. Come on.

That's too bad.

Then you guys.

There are ways to prove your innocence. This is hardly one of them.

They had to believe l was capable of that.

They offered to buy him out.

This has nothing to do with me and Maggie.

This is a major development for this story, because up until now...

This is Frost. Stand down.

TRAVlS [OVER RADlO]: Initiate breach. No, no, no! Do not breach!

TRAVlS: Everybody calm down. I'm so sorry. No, l'm so sorry.

Twenty thousand cops in Chicago. Can't you take turns?

Up there or in there

We're taking over. FBl cannot stand by and let this situation continue.

We've seen what your men can handle.

Well, it worked.

Were you really in the Marines?

What am l gonna have to do to be heard, huh?

What was that, a threat? Did you just threaten me?

When your friends betray you...

Where are they?

Why did he go there?

Why didn't you go see Niebaum?

Why don't you just fucking tell him anything?

With the arrival of the feds, they are either coming to aid in the negotiation...

Would you please escort Mr. Sabian to his car?

Wouldn't want you to swallow it if something goes down.

Yeah, but what's this have to do with anything?

Yeah.

Yo, Omar.

You are not in control! They are! They're not listening to you, Chris.

You could've done everything they say.

You gotta help us out here. I know what you're feeling.

You have five minutes to surrender...

You knew he was investigating the fraud.

You know something, you don't tell us, that's obstruction ofjustice.

You pulled rank and ran my boys out of there.

You think I killed Nate?

You want a shot? I'll give you a shot

You were tapping Nate.

You're not gonna get off that easy.

You're right. You're right

You've seen everything. No surprise. Let's do this.

Your chain of command has just given Danny two more hostages.

Your men stay in place. Our men will support yours...

Your partners, Niebaum.

[WHISPERING] Wife? [WHISPERING] Shut the fuck up.

Click on wires. Okay.

Commander's upstairs? Yeah, but you can talk to me.

Danny? You talk to Linda?

Frost? FROST: Yeah. Danny, it's me, Frost.

Have to look into that, Danny. DANNY: Jesus, Farley.

How you feeling, man? Not great

I'm busy. DANNY: Busy?

It's very simple. And then?

Negotiator entering kill zone. You better keep him out

No. No?

Now, are you gonna tell me no again? No, I'm not

That's Tonray. He may actually think he's innocent.

Wait. SABlAN: Do not take the shot!

Wipe that stuff off your mouth, buddy. Yeah. Order me a drink, big guy.

You need it to be? DANNY: Yeah.

...dash l dash COM.

...ever again.

...l know you're scared.

...l loved her

...look up at me with those big old eyes..

...make sure there's no other hostages and there's no surprises.

...or perhaps, more likely, to take over the negotiations.

...or you'll find out just how serious l really am.

...Raoull. Right, Omar? Give me Raoull.

...that might be of use to me, that you think is pertinent.

...they're all telltale signs. You can't cheat

...this is your chief, Al Travis.

...when did you find out Nate was investigating the fund?

...you access the creative centers of the brain...
