A perfect world according to product50:

A terrorist takes a hostage, and a cop asks the terrorist not to kill the hostage and allows the terrorist to keep causing terror insofar as it doesn't involve killing hostages, and the terrorist doesn't kill the hostage, and the hostage is grateful with the terrorist for not having killed him even when he is kept hostage.




You forgot to mention that the hostage gets a convenient way to plan events for their trouble.
