- Michael Jameson: [pointing the gun at Ed's head as he stalls in unlocking a courtroom door] You don't get it, do you? I have nothing left. I'm not afraid to use this. I will kill you both, leave you both lying here. I do not care anymore!
- Sgt. Gregory Parker: [answering his cell phone] Parker here.
- Ed Lane: Boss, hey, it's me. Yeah, I... I'm in a stairwell off a... off a third floor with a young man... what's your name?
- Michael Jameson: Forget my name! Ask about Cheznik!
- Sgt. Gregory Parker: Young man? What are you saying, Ed? Are you telling me you're with the subject now?
- Ed Lane: Yeah.
- Sgt. Gregory Parker: Okay. Hang tight, we're right outside the building.
- Ed Lane: We're looking for a... for a... for a prosecutor named Dan Cheznik.
- Sgt. Gregory Parker: You got your gun, Ed?
- Ed Lane: No, no, no. It's... it's C-H-E...
- Sgt. Gregory Parker: Are you telling me that he's got you at gunpoint?
- Ed Lane: That's right, yeah. We just need a location for the young man and the lady here.
- Sgt. Gregory Parker: Okay, he's got a hostage?
- Ed Lane: Correct.
- Sgt. Gregory Parker: Do you want the team on immediate action plan? Just give me "yes."
- Ed Lane: No... no, no. He's a prosecutor.
- Sgt. Gregory Parker: Okay, just stay on the line with me, Ed.
- Michael Jameson: Tell him you'll call him back.
- Ed Lane: Boss, I'm going to have to call you back.
- Sam Braddock: Bravo team in position. Frosted windows, limited joy.
- Sgt. Gregory Parker: [on radio, looking at his watch] Stand by, we're five minutes away.
- Kevin 'Wordy' Wordsworth: [looking at a thermal image] That one's Ed. You see the cuffs?
- Sam Braddock: I've got the suspect. I could take him right now.
- Kevin 'Wordy' Wordsworth: We don't fire on a thermal image. We need to see the guy for real.
- Ed Lane: You have got to forget about Cheznik. Okay, and confronting him at gunpoint is not gonna convince anyone of anything. If you're innocent, put the gun down. A gun never solved anything, believe me. The police are probably out there right now with a sniper and I know how they work. So I'm asking you... I am begging you. I am begging you, just put the gun down.
- Sgt. Gregory Parker: Spike, he's escalating. Where are you?
- Mike Scarlatti: [whispering] 15 seconds away.
- Sgt. Gregory Parker: That's not good enough.
- [throws a chair into a desk]
- Sgt. Gregory Parker: Now! I need you now! I need you now!
- Sam Braddock: Bravo team has it.
- Sgt. Gregory Parker: No, I don't want to go lethal! I don't want to go lethal. Alpha team, I'm watching you. Are you set?
- Michael Jameson: [pointing his gun at Ed and the other hostage] Your time is up.
- Ed Lane: Let me have the vest, okay?
- Sgt. Gregory Parker: Ed, you can't just keep putting yourself in the middle of this thing. That's not how we work, you know that.
- [Ed walks past him]
- Sgt. Gregory Parker: What is this? You think this is some way to atone, you save this kid, you get to take it all back?
- Ed Lane: I'm not trying to take it back.
