Detailed walkthrough
1. Enter Boulder City Ruins and go into the great khans hideout. Talk to Jessup. He's the guy on the right.

2. If you have a good speech skill you can convince him to just try and walk out, shoot his way out, or release the hostages. Otherwise, refer to 3. If you don't feel like finishing this quest you don't need to. The rewards aren't great and after you talk to Jessup he tells you where the man in the checkered suit went so you don't need to do this to continue the main quest.

3. Go back to the guy who gave you the quest(Lieutenant Monroe). He says that he's been given orders to kill the Great Khans, hostages or not. If you negotiated the release of the hostages, question his integrity and he'll let the Khans go, which increases your standing with the Great Khans. If your barter skill is high enough, you can offer to give him 500 caps(or if you have 45 barter skill you can make it less) to let the Khans escape.

4. Go back to Jessup and tell him he can leave. He gives you his blessings in the hunt for the man in the checkered suit and he leaves.
