The Kill Point - 1 ª Season

Capt. Horst Cali tries to negotiate with the leader, Mr. Wolf, for a teenage boy's release.

A Pittsburgh real estate tycoon leans heavily, via political cronies, to make his brat-daughter's release a top-priority, but Horst Cali refuses to appreciate being owed a favor. Deputy Chief Abrami plans to have Cali replaced, or at least suspended, by an FBI negotiator, after a failure. Wolf actually agrees to release hostages on humanitarian grounds for favors, but he refuses to include the youngest, computer whiz kid Robby Sabian, and threatens to execute someone unless electrical power, which Horst had ordered cut as pressure, is restored within an hour. Giving in to save a life is considered unforgivable to Abrami.

Cali has to hand over the rein to a female FBI negotiator, arranged by politicians to accommodate the tycoon's wish to make his daughter top priority. She assures him she respects his reputation, but completely ignores his advise by confronting the kidnappers. Mr. Wolf doesn't budge, simply refuses to talk to her at all and ends up successfully demanding to speak to Cali again and gives him the eldest hostage. Meanwhile accomplices outdoors take sniping positions. Cali's team works outs Robby Sabian's dad was released as part of a plot depending on the fat knave's brilliant computer skills.

A female hostage is shot accidentally when depressed kidnapper Mikey looses his calm. Tycoon Beck hires more professional guns, including SWAT member Augie. Cali's team realizes there was a rogue sharpshooter at work. Cali now doubts Wolf's honor code and successfully leans on Teddy Sabian to learn the truth and counter-act just in time.

As Horst is talking to a one armed man that claims to be a former team member of Wolf's, the hostages are setting up a plan to overpower the hostage takers.
