Grenade-Wielding Former Security Guard Takes Over 50 Hostages In Manila Mall | The Negotiators

After he is fired from his job, former security guard Alchie Paray shoots a colleague and holds 55 people hostage at a shopping mall in San Juan City, Metro Manila. Renowned police negotiator Gen. Orlando Yebra, scarred by a past crisis gone tragically wrong, races against time to prevent another catastrophe. A decade earlier, he grappled with a disgruntled policeman holding a tourist bus hostage. That incident ended in the deaths of eight tourists and the hostage taker.

As tensions escalate, Paray’s demands take increasingly eccentric twists and a dangerous paranoia grips him as he becomes aware of police movements outside. San Juan City Mayor Francis Zamora steps into the fray to attempt to soothe the volatile situation and then things take a shocking turn.
