Burn Notice2007

Lieutenant Seth Casey:
This is Lieutenant Seth Casey, Miami Metro Police.

[ "Lt. Casey" / "Tough S.O.B." ]

Lieutenant Seth Casey:
Whoever you are, if you want this to work out, you will pick up the phone. Right now. We need to talk.

Josh Wagner:
W-what do I do? What do I say?

Sam Axe:
Mike, this train's about to start moving real fast. It's not too late for you to hop off, but I'm staying.

Michael Westen:
[narrative] In a hostage crisis, first contact with the police is critical. One wrong word from a hostage taker can be the difference between the start of negotiations or the start of an armed assault.

Lieutenant Seth Casey:
Pick up the phone!

Michael Westen:
[as Josh goes to answer the phone] Stop!

Josh Wagner:
He said I should...

Michael Westen:
Leave it. You sound like you're gonna jump off a bridge. You answer a phone like that, and you'll have a SWAT team banging through the door before you hang up. I'll get it.

Michael Westen:
[to Sam] I leave when you leave.

Michael Westen:
[timidly into the phone] Hello? Hello?

Lieutenant Seth Casey:
Who am I speaking with?

Michael Westen:
He says I can't answer any of your questions. He says that... no one will get hurt as long as... you don't... come any closer.

Lieutenant Seth Casey:
O-Okay, but tell him I can't help him... u-unless I can talk to him.

Michael Westen:
He-he says I got to go.

Lieutenant Seth Casey:
Wait, wait, wait. Don't hang up. Tell him the line's open. Anytime he wants to talk, all he has to do is...

[Michael hangs up]

Michael Westen:
You hung up on him?

Josh Wagner:
This is more of a "less is more" situation. I'm just buying time.

Sam Axe:
Okay, Josh, we're gonna help you get your money back, but only if you let us call the shots.

Josh Wagner:
Are you sure about this? You could go to jail.

Sam Axe:
Right now we're just two friends trying to end this peacefully. As long as it stays that way, Mike and I can get your money back and stay out of jail. Deal?

Josh Wagner:
[sighs, shakes hands] Deal.

Michael Westen:
Josh. [Josh is distracted for a moment, long enough for Sam to get the gun from him]
