The Negotiator
The police try to arrest expert hostage negotiator Danny Roman, who insists he's being framed for his partner's murder in what he believes is an elaborate conspiracy. Thinking there's evidence in the Internal Affairs offices that might clear him, he takes everyone in the office hostage and demands that another well-known negotiator be brought in to handle the situation and secretly investigate the conspiracy.
The Verdict
Raka, a court security officer, and his pregnant wife, Nina, celebrate her success in passing the bar exam. But their joyous celebration is shattered when Nina is found brutally murdered. As the trial spirals towards an unjust outcome, Raka resolves to overturn the corrupt verdict and seek justice for his late wife.
