OPERATOR: Where are you?
LIDIA: At hospital.
In the morgue.
OPERATOR: What do you want?
LIDIA: Don't come near.
If you do I start to kill them.
Do you understand what I'm saying?
OPERATOR: Yes, it's understood, and I will put you through to a police officer, okay?
(phone ringing) Lidia.
LIDIA: Who is this?
It's me, Mariana.
My "big sister"?
You've got my gun.
Yeah.
What are you planning to do?
LIDIA: Get what I want.
What do you want?
Tell me and I will help you.
I will, but first I need to be sure you won't do anything.
I give you my word.
LIDIA: Don't you try to get in.
No one touches this door, understand?
I'll fix that.
Are you sure that we can't just solve it right now before anyone gets hurt?
If I see the smallest move, somebody's gonna get hurt.
I already promised you that.
MARIANA: You haven't told me what it is that you want.
You'll see.
Please... Lidia, I don't think you want to do this.
You have no idea what I want.

Okay?
Go to that room.
Look, they're rich kids and doctors.
You can probably get a lot of money for them.
But me, I'm nothing.
I could give you some advice.
You know, as it happens, I am also old kidnapper.
Shut up.
I can't, I have to talk when I'm nervous.
So either you release me or you hear me talking.
Or I can kill you.
But you can't.
You know, I'm like a cat, I have seven lives.
They've got nine lives.
You see, you already like me, so why don't you release me?
(phone ringing) TOBIAS: My name is Tobias Nordwall; I work as a negotiator.
You come to me and we talk.
If you do that, I release them all.
You want me to replace the hostage?
LIDIA: Yes, you have 20 minutes.
TOBIAS: Lidia... No, don't try to buy time.
My time is not for sale.
No more.
Do as I say... or I will kill one of them.
