Detective Rodriguez: Someone's coming out!
Mac: Watch the sniper. Prepare to fire.
Monica: Oh, my God, it's Alan!
Captain: Take out the sniper!
Luke: Something's wrong.
Emily: No!
Nikolas: Wait --
Emily: Oh, my God!
Gunshots.
Emily: They're shooting at him!
Gunshots.
Luke: Oh, God, he's having a heart attack.
Lucky: Hold
Luke: Hold your fire! He's having a heart attack!
Gunshots.
Mac: Get her back!
Monica: Alan -- Alan, no!
Mac: Get back.
Monica: Alan!
Emily: Make them stop shooting!
Gunshot.
Nikolas: Please, you can't help him. He's --
Gunshots.
Carly: Jason.
Reporter: We're live on the scene, where shots are being fired. One man, who may be a hostage, has just been shot.
Alice: They're shooting at Dr. Quartermaine!
Edward: Why doesn't Alan get up?
Dillon: He's dead.
Tracy: Don't say that! He's not.
Alan groans.
Lucky: We have to do something.
Luke: If we go out, we'll never get back in.
Lucky: And if we don't, Emily's father dies.
Gunshot.
Ric: What the hell?
Mac: Hold your fire! Hold your fire!
Monica: Let me go! I have got to get to my husband!
Mac: Get that gurney ready. Go!
Lucky: Come on! Come on.
Monica: Alan -- Alan, where were you hit?
Luke: I don't think he was shot. From where we were, it looked like he had a heart attack.
Monica: My God. Alan? He's not breathing. Oh, my God, he -- he doesn't have a pulse! Alan? Alan?
James: Oh, I'm disappointed. Were you trying to miss?
Emily: Let go of me! He shot my father!
James: No, I don't believe he did.
Eight: Oh, he fell on his own.
James: It doesn't appear that the jolt you gave your father with the defibrillator --
Emily: Oh, shut up! You were trying to kill him! My father is a doctor! He dedicated himself to saving lives, and you shot him! I hate all you, animals! All of you! You're the ones who should die! Not decent people. Do you get the difference, you coward? Hiding behind your stupid masks?
Emily chuckles.
Emily: If you're so tough, why don't you take it off?
Carly: No, you goto calm down. Calm down!
Carly: I understand that you are frustrated about your father, but you need to calm down or we are all going to die.
Emily: Well, he's going to kill us anyway. Right? You don't care about human life. You sent a man outside with a failing heart and then you shot him.
James: That's the purpose of the hostage -- to help me for my cause.
Emily: Oh, yeah? Okay, so what's your purpose, huh? My father had a value, he made a difference in this world. You can walk out of here with everything in that vault and you'll still be the same worthless piece of trash that you were when it started.
Sam: I second that.
James: You people don't seem to be clear about one concept. You're not in charge here, I am. Do you understand? But Emily was right about one thing. I couldn't care less if you die or if you claw out of the wreckage of this hotel with a few less body parts. So either you stifle the urges to lash out at me and behave like nice little kiddies, or be prepared to pay the price. Now, everybody, on the floor, and don't make me say it again. And you -- I'd like you to curb your hysterics if you don't want lover boy here to get his head blown off. That'll give you something to cry about. You, Florence Nightingale, stop what you're doing. Take her in the back.
Lulu: Why?
James: Because I don't want to hear your voice anymore. On second thought -- on second thought, Six, you take her in the back.
Six: Come on.
Sonny: That was great what you did for Emily, but don't do it again.
Carly: Sonny --
Sonny: Listen to me. Now, this guy's starting to unravel. He's not playing mind games anymore. He wants to regain control of the situation. If he starts losing it even more, he's going to start killing people.
Carly: He's going to need the hostages alive.
Sonny: He doesn't need all of us. As a matter of fact, he only needs half of us. Think of Michael and Morgan. I do not want them to lose their mother. So you stop acting on impulse and you stay calm and you stay quiet.
Carly: There may be another way.
James: My second-story man here tells me there was a breach in security. It seems that there were two would-be heroes inside the building who broke cover to scrape dr. Alan off the ground. We'll be checking for more interlopers and pay much more attention to the security system. Five, these three are yours. Seven? Okay, hostages, just a brief reminder. This lobby is set up to explode, and you don't know which one of us has the detonator. So be very careful who you touch and how. My people, listen up. If some so much as breathes loud, kill them, please.
Emily: When we get out of here, I'm not sure I ever want to operate again.
Nikolas: We will make it out of here, and you will operate again, okay? And when we do get out of here, we'll take your parents to dinner like we talked about -- in Venice.
Emily: Nikolas --
Nikolas: Okay, come on, come on, come on -- Venice, San Marcos Square. You remember San Marcos Square?
Emily: Yeah.
Nikolas: You remember that? Okay, look at me, look at me -- hey -- we're getting out of here. Okay?
Luke: Craig! Hey, Craig! This is Luke Spencer! This private party of yours is turning out to be a big waste of time. The briefcase that you're so patiently waiting to take out of the vault -- it's equipped to self-destruct.
Six: I heard the guy outside. Why is he being such a hero?
James: Obviously, he has someone special at risk. He said his name was Spencer. Spencer, Spencer, Spencer -- isn't that your name, Little Lulu? Hey, I'm talking to you. Who's that guy outside to you? Speak up, or mother and baby go bye-bye.
Lulu: He's my father.
James: Good girl. You've been such a great help, but you're only getting started. Come on.
Luke: We can all get what we want here, Craig.
Ric: Wait, hold your fire!
Captain: On my command.
James: This is going to be a very simple choice for you, Luke Spencer. Give me the code, or your daughter dies -- simple.
Mac: Do you have a distance mike?
Captain: Yes, sir.
Mac: Use it. We need to hear what's going on in there.
Luke: It's okay, Lulu. It's okay. Mr. Craig is too smart to shoot you. Because killing my daughter will guarantee you'll never get that code. Let her go. Set the other hostages free and I'll come in, and I'll give you the code, and when the vault opens, you punch it in, you take what you're here for and get your people out. Everybody's happy.
James: I have to question your timing. Alcazar and his girlfriend must've known the case was an Equinox. They made no attempt to get the information to me, so why are you here now?
Luke: Well, you see, Alcazar's a little under the weather. Bullet fragments floating around in your head do that.
James: You're bluffing. I think that if I want to wait for the vault to open, I'll get what I want, and then use the hostages as leverage for my escape. That's what I think.
Luke: You're really willing to take that chance?
James: I also think that there's someone inside that means a lot to you -- the pregnant nurse, for example. Give me the code, or watch your daughter die. And then I'll bring Elizabeth, and then you can watch her and the brat that she's gestating die, too!
Lucky: It's not working. He's going to have to give up the code.
Skye: Luke doesn't know the code.
Carly: Do you know which one is Jason?
Sonny: He may not get a clean shot. He could even shoot Lulu.
Luke: Oh, come on, Craig. You don't want to do this. You're too smart for this.
Six: What do you think you're doing?
Nikolas: Give him the code, Luke. He's already shot two people. He'll kill Lulu unless you give him what he wants.
James: Finally, the hothead -- I believe his name is Nikolas -- makes himself useful. He's telling the truth. I will kill her. So what's it going to be, Mr. Spencer -- the code or Lulu's life?
