Max Bhagat leads the hostage negotiations and is the connection to Gina and the hijackers. After seeing him in action, what did you learn about him? Did your opinion shift from what you knew of him before? How well did he handle Gina?

Max was the FBI wiz negotiator, and he proved to be totally in control, buying time for the SEALs to drill and come up with a plan. I learned that he was able to keep his cool in a very difficult situation. He supported and kept Gina as calm as possible. That was no small deal as she was lying and had to sell that lie to the hijackers.

Max is a great character. It isn't easy to stay calm during negotiations, but Max managed. Initially, I felt like Max was cold, but he proved me wrong. He was the perfect negotiator to work with Gina.

Wow, this guy understates cool under pressure! I loved how he heard Gina’s clues, enough to know she wasn’t Karen. This guy is so much more than the typical FBI suit. Before this hostage situation, I thought he was wrapped a little tight. He may be but he’s also got skills.

Max is a great character and I look forward to the development of his and Gina's connection.
