an Isis, I understand you're Mujahideen and you
pledge your allegiance to someone whose name I

NEGOTIATOR: Okay. Tell me what you want
me to pass along. Because I can't sit here and do
research. I want to pass along "Tell them to stop
bombing in Syria."
SUSPECT: Yes. The air strikes need to
stop and stop collaborating with Russia. Okay?
NEGOTIATOR: Okay. I can pass that along.
SUSPECT: And let it be known, let it be
known in the next few days you're going to see
more of this type of action going on, okay?
NEGOTIATOR: Okay. I understand that. I
can pass that along. Where is that going to
happen?
SUSPECT: It's none of your business. Just
let it be known it's going to be done in the name
of the Islamic State, even though it's not fucking
air strikes, it's fucking strikes here, okay?
NEGOTIATOR: I understand that. I
understand that. So tell me what happened
tonight? How did this go down for you?
SUSPECT: This went down, a lot of innocent
women and children are getting killed in Syria and
Iraq and Afghanistan, okay?
NEGOTIATOR: I understand that. You're
upset about the bombing in Syria and Afghanistan
and you want the bombing and the killing to stop.
I understand your concern. I share that concern.
I want to pass your message along. Tell me what
else you'd like me to pass along, please.
SUSPECT: To stop, tell them to stop.
NEGOTIATOR: I will do that. I will do
that. So can you tell me how we can peacefully
resolve this tonight? I'd like to see you come
out, I'd like to talk to you some more.
SUSPECT: Tell -- tell the fucking -- the
air strikes need to stop.
NEGOTIATOR: I'm doing that. I'm passing
that message along, immediately.
SUSPECT: You see, now you feel, now you
feel how it is, now you feel how it is.
NEGOTIATOR: I understand your concern,
Omar. Do you have somebody that you brought with
you that we need to check on and make sure they
are not injured?
SUSPECT: No. No. No. No. No. No,
Mr. Hostage Negotiator, don't try your bullshit
with me.
NEGOTIATOR: Well, I'm trying to help you. And you don't want people to get injured, I
presume that means if you brought somebody with
you, you don't want them hurt. Is that correct?
SUSPECT: None of your business, homeboy.
NEGOTIATOR: Okay. Omar, can I get you to
come outside and talk to my people there at the
scene so we can peacefully resolve this?
SUSPECT: No.
NEGOTIATOR: Okay. Because I'm not there,
but I have people there that would love to talk to
you. Can you put down your weapon and come down
outside and talk to them, please?
SUSPECT: You want to know what type of
weapon I have too?
NEGOTIATOR: If you want to tell me.
SUSPECT: Or you want to know how many
weapons I have?
NEGOTIATOR: I can take that too. I'm all
ears, Omar. I have no agenda other than to help
you pass along this message.
SUSPECT: So what year -- so what year did
you graduate from the police academy?
NEGOTIATOR: I'm sorry?
SUSPECT: What year did you graduate from
the police academy?
NEGOTIATOR: Sir, this is about you, okay?
I'm here to help you. I'm here to pass along your
information. Okay? You don't want to know
ancient history about me. Tell me how I can help
you.
You asked me do I want to know about
weapons? Sure, tell me about your weapons. Omar?
I'm trying to help you. I can't do that if you
won't give me something to pass along to the
people that are in power which is I presume what
you want to happen out of all of this. I don't
want to see you or any of your associates get
hurt, I don't want to see anybody else get hurt
in the United States or anywhere else around the
world. So tell me how you and I can work together
to get this peacefully resolved now.
Omar? Omar, you get to talk to me. Omar?
Listen to me, I don't want to see you get injured.
Omar, can you hear me?

your message. You come out and you can tell it
yourself. I'll arrange media or whatever you
want. It's got to be a first step.
SUSPECT: Look, you're annoying me with a
lot of your phone calls. I call you (inaudible).

obviously, you know, it's my job, I need to be in
contact with you. I'm your communication lifeline
to everyone that's outside. I'm trying to pass
along your message and I don't want to screw that
message up.
You tell me you don't want people to get
hurt, I presume that includes you. Tell me your
message and I will pass that along. You don't
want the bombings. Tell me about it. I'll write
it down.
Omar? Omar, please talk to me. I want to
get your message out. I want to pass along what
you have to say. I can't do that if you won't
talk to me.

SUSPECT: Or you want to know how many
weapons I have?
NEGOTIATOR: I can take that too. I'm all
ears, Omar. I have no agenda other than to help
you pass along this message.
SUSPECT: So what year -- so what year did
you graduate from the police academy?
NEGOTIATOR: I'm sorry?
SUSPECT: What year did you graduate from
the police academy?
NEGOTIATOR: Sir, this is about you, okay?
I'm here to help you. I'm here to pass along your
information. Okay? You don't want to know
ancient history about me. Tell me how I can help
you.
You asked me do I want to know about
weapons? Sure, tell me about your weapons. Omar?
I'm trying to help you. I can't do that if you
won't give me something to pass along to the
people that are in power which is I presume what
you want to happen out of all of this. I don't
want to see you or any of your associates get
hurt, I don't want to see anybody else get hurt
in the United States or anywhere else around the
world. So tell me how you and I can work together
to get this peacefully resolved now.
Omar? Omar, you get to talk to me. Omar?
Listen to me, I don't want to see you get injured.
Omar, can you hear me?
Are you there? Omar? You and I have to
talk. We have to work together. Omar, I need to
pass along what your concerns are. Omar?
(Ringing) I got 0315. Please leave your
message for --
(Ringing) Please leave your message for --
NEGOTIATOR: Ringing, 0316. One ring.
SUSPECT: Hello?
NEGOTIATOR: Omar? Listen, this is Andy
from the police again. I don't want to mess up
your message. You come out and you can tell it
yourself. I'll arrange media or whatever you
want. It's got to be a first step.
SUSPECT: Look, you're annoying me with a
lot of your phone calls. I call you (inaudible).
NEGOTIATOR: Well, I understand that, but
obviously, you know, it's my job, I need to be in
contact with you. I'm your communication lifeline
to everyone that's outside. I'm trying to pass
along your message and I don't want to screw that
message up.
You tell me you don't want people to get
hurt, I presume that includes you. Tell me your
message and I will pass that along. You don't
want the bombings. Tell me about it. I'll write
it down.
Omar? Omar, please talk to me. I want to
get your message out. I want to pass along what
you have to say. I can't do that if you won't
talk to me.

NEGOTIATION 3
(Ringing).
NEGOTIATOR: Omar.
SUSPECT: Yeah?
NEGOTIATOR: What's going on? I couldn't
get ahold of you for a while.
SUSPECT: You're annoying me with these
phone calls and I don't really appreciate it.
NEGOTIATOR: Well, I understand that, but
the fact that you appreciate it or not doesn't
matter at this point. We need to talk and we need
to stay --
SUSPECT: Don't say things likes that, no.
No. No. No. No. No. No.
NEGOTIATOR: No, I'm treating you like an
adult. We need to stay in constant contact.
SUSPECT: No. No. No. No. No. No. No.
NEGOTIATOR: Tell me what's going on now,
Omar?
SUSPECT: What's going on is that the air
strikes need to stop.
NEGOTIATOR: Yes.
SUSPECT: They need to stop.
NEGOTIATOR: The air strikes need to stop.
SUSPECT: They need to stop killing people.
NEGOTIATOR: I've heard that and I want you
to come outside and tell us that yourself so the
message rings true from you without me passing
along your message. I'm doing that, but I need
you to come outside with no weapons.
Omar? Hang up, 3:25.
