The SWAT team did not directly take Alex back to the FBI. Zeal was still unconscious. Several police officers died this time. Most of the other prisoners in the car were also killed by them. The SWAT team followed the police back to the West Hollywood branch.
Explain the situation.
The scene of the gun battle just now was filmed in various ways by those guys who were not afraid of death, and soon these images were in the hands of major television stations.
Before SWAT returned to the West Hollywood branch, the TV had already broadcast the shootout, including the final scene where Irving set up Alex.
Both the media and ordinary people were very excited by this Hollywood clip that took place near Hollywood. Especially after the reporters with good intentions successively dug up Alex's various backgrounds, the people finally had a complete idea.
Try to figure out the whole process of the incident.
A drug lord is arrested, his men are armed and kidnap prisoners, and SWAT engages in a fierce exchange of fire. It's a standard Hollywood routine, but it's true. It's exciting to think about it!
It has to be said that the people's imagination is basically close to the truth of the matter, but the reality is more dramatic than imagined. Who would have thought that the drug lord was arrested because of a car rear-end collision.
Before SWAT arrived, the gate of the West Hollywood branch was already occupied by various media. The police had to set up a blockade at the gate to keep out the crazy media.
Before the real owner showed up, reporters from all walks of life were broadcasting the background of the incident, and their introductions about the origins of the drug lord could be heard everywhere outside the gate.
"...a criminal wanted by more than a dozen countries..."
"...the Montel family...Interpol had launched a wanted search for him a few years ago..."
"... He has been accused of gun smuggling, drug trafficking, extortion, kidnapping, and murder. He has always been the focus of the FBI, DEA and other agencies..."
As soon as the SWAT car appeared, crazy flash lights lit up, and then a flood of reporters rushed over, extending their cameras and microphones through the barbed wire fence and isolation tape.
The people from Team A escorted Alex out of the car and entered the police station on foot.
Alex, who was wearing an orange prison uniform, stood out in the crowd. The crowd took close-ups of him. When reporters rushed towards him, he suddenly grabbed the barbed wire and shouted: "I will give you 100 million US dollars, who will rescue me?"
, this hundred million dollars is his, I swear on the name of the Montel family..."
Alex was quickly pulled down from the barbed wire fence by the police and was pushed into the police station with his head held down. Before entering the gate, you could still hear his unwilling voice: "One...hundred million...US...
Yuan……"
This scene was broadcast live on every TV station with the reporter's camera. People were surprised by Alex's arrogance and were also shocked by his asking price, 100 million U.S. dollars. For freedom, he was willing to pay 100 million U.S. dollars...
For a moment, the underground world was boiling. Alex was not talking nonsense. He swore in the name of his family. In the end, regardless of whether he admitted it or not, the Montel family had to pay the money, otherwise he would lose his position.
Credit to the underground world, this is even more terrifying for a family than losing their lives.
Almost as soon as they saw the news, Mexican gangs, Russian gangs, black gangs, Asian gangs, and even some mercenary companies that often did dirty work began to have Alex's idea, and even some civilians
The good guys are dreaming of rescuing Alex with bricks and then rising to success.
It can be said that Alex's words gave all the restless people in the United States a pie, a delicious pie that seemed to be able to reach the sky in one step.
…
Colombia, Bogota
The old man in the villa saw this scene broadcast on TV and broke the wine glass in his hand. After a while, the old man rushed to his men behind him and ordered: "Katur has not fulfilled his promise, send his family to reunite with him.
.”
The men quietly followed the order and left. Fifteen minutes later, the cries of women and children came from the yard, followed by the sound of submachine gun fire. After that, everything became quiet again.
Brancato Montel looked at the setting sun outside. This was Colombia, his world. Even if he heard gunshots near his villa, the police would not dare to come. Now that his only son has been arrested by the Americans, it is time to expose himself.
own fangs.
Soon, the old man's voice sounded again: "Tell those moles that I want my child Alex to return to me safely, otherwise their existence will be meaningless."
The subordinates took the order and were about to leave, but the old man said again: "Wait a minute, you can't rely solely on those guys, find some experts, for 100 million US dollars, I think someone will be willing to take action..."
Under the setting sun, the undercurrent surges.
…
At the entrance of the West Hollywood branch, Javier had just finished a press conference.
The gun battle just now killed three police officers, and one was still being rescued. In addition, more than a dozen prisoners and an FBI agent were killed. This matter is a big deal in the United States, not to mention that the real owner of the matter has just been made public.
He offered himself a reward of 100 million US dollars.
Now it's not just Los Angeles or California that is paying attention, but the entire United States is paying attention to this matter.
Javier feels that if Alexander is not handled well, he will be burned to death. The matter now is more urgent than the Zhongchen Building robbery. The CTU took over and took the blame for him, but the FBI is still too late.
Still no movement.
At the same time, ASH also received a call from FBI Los Angeles director Womack.
"ASH, what's going on?"
The FBI is very aware of the behavior of the media. He will not believe the lies they tell. Only what his own people say can be trusted. But this time, it is obvious that the media did not lie.
ASH gave a complete account of the whole incident. Womack pondered for a moment and said: "This incident has a great impact. Now there are people outside who are using their brains. You guys stay in the police station for now. Since Brad died,
, I will let T·J take charge personally, and you will wait for my specific arrangements..."
ASH knew that T.J. was Farrell, Wommack's deputy, who had always been responsible for gang cases, and was an experienced FBI veteran, so he hung up the phone.
At this moment, Owen also received a call from Jack Bauer.
"Owen, I saw the shootout just now on TV. What did you think?"
"It's okay for now. There is a friend of mine in the police station right now, even among the policemen who just died..."
Irving's tone was a little decadent. When he saw his colleagues in West Hollywood, he blamed himself even more for not being able to save Stewart and Father George.
Jack Bauer obviously knew about his situation. He pondered for a moment and then said: "Owen, please withdraw from SWAT. I will say hello to the FBI in a moment. Your training has ended early. Now go back to CTU. I have other plans...
…”
"Why?"
Owen couldn't understand, and he felt like a deserter if he was asked to leave at this time.
Jack Bauer hesitated for a moment and then decided to tell the truth: "Your current state is mixed with too many personal emotions, and it is no longer suitable for you to participate in this case. What you did at the scene of the shooting just now is over the line."
…”
"No, Jack... I can't leave now. I must send Alex to prison myself. I can't let those friends die in vain. If you don't agree, you can fire me, but I have to do this..."
For the first time, Owen clearly rejected Jack Bauer's request. He had already made up his mind that even if Jack did not agree, at worst he would resign and take matters into his own hands, and he would never let this bastard go unpunished.
From the moment he killed Stuart and injured Father George, it was no longer a public matter, it was a personal grudge.
"Look, Owen, I said you mixed too much personal emotions into it. This is very unprofessional behavior."
Jack Bauer was silent for a moment, and then said: "Okay, you should stay in SWAT for the time being, but you are not allowed to act on your own. I will send a heartbeater there, and he will cooperate with you. You have to listen to him, and I will figure out the rest...
…”
After Jack finished speaking, he hung up the phone. Owen didn't know why Jack helped him, but he knew that he owed Jack one time.
