Speed Edit

A bomb is made to explode.

A bomber falls in love with one kind of bomb, and they're very monogamous.

A few more blocks, you're gonna come up to a soft turn, right.

A little more! Okay! Okay! Right there! Steady!

A while back he held some people for ransom.

A woman caught in the blast fell.

After all that we've...

Ah! Broke my my door.

All aboard. Doors will be closing.

All aboard. Doors will be closing.

All right, Harry, we're in. Passenger relay. Sir!

All right, let's get 'em off. Just step and walk.

All right, listen. We got an entrance coming up, Jack.

All right, look. Harry's tryin' to find out who this guy is.

All right, pop quiz. The airport.

All right!

All right! All right! Let's go!

All right. All right!

All right. He'd want to be here, but he'd want to stay mobile, right?

All the way down to the lobby! Let's go, folks!

Am I lying?

An explosion. Some kind of an explosion.

And for his brave and selfless act.

And for who? For what?

And here is to Harry.

And I don't, does that mean I'm expendable?

And I got a bullet in me.

And I think it's gonna be a very pretty day.

And I'm not a cop right now.

And Jack? Don't slip.

And now he throws in this watch.

And that everyone is safe for the moment.

And then when I saw her body fall under the bus, it was like...

And they don't even know ya.

And they pick your friend up with a sponge.

And to Jack... for shooting Harry.

Annie. Hold on!

Anything we haven't seen should be in here.

Are gonna end up just like your friend.

Are we gonna have a problem now?

Are you paying attention? Jack, are you listening to me?

Arizona Wildcats.

As a city bus, rigged to explode if it slows down,

At least that's what they'll think.

Aw, come on. Thirty more years of this, you get a tiny pension and a cheap gold watch.

Aw, geez, you know, it took me three hours just to get here from the airport.

Aw, we've got all the balls in the world right here, man!

Be easy on him, Bob. The boy was up late last night partying.

Because I am not gonna be around to back you up,

Because I had my driver's license revoked.

Because I want you to help me to get it before it gets too late.

Because you spend it trying to stop the bomb...

Big asshole.

Bomb's already taken out cables. Bomber wants $3 million, or he blows the emergency brakes.

Both blown up by the bomber.

Briggs, where's Jack and Harry?

Bullshit! Yeah, there's a bomb. Some funny joke, man!

But I got your attention now, didn't I, Jack?

But I'm not available to drive tomorrow. Busy.

But it looks on TV like you're tryin' to get those passengers off the bus.

But it's on the map. It's finished on the goddamn map!

But reports are that the bus continues to circle inside L.A. X...

But reports are that the bus continues to circle inside L.A.X.

But Sam's been shot! We gotta get him off!

But you got some big, round, hairy cojones.

But, Annie, if she'd gotten off, it would've killed us all.

But, um, I'm afraid in the end it's just the money, Jack.

But, you know, I figured a sign that said Howard Payne...

But, you see, I'm in charge here. I drop this stick, huh,

Bye, Jack. Punk.

Call 9 1 1!

Can you find the trip wire for the remote?

Can you get a fuel truck to pace us here? We're losing gas.

Can't even pay him a compliment.

Certainly, a sense of community...

Check it out.

Circling the runway.

Closer! A little closer, Annie!

Come on, Harry. Save my life.

Come on, lady! Come on! Grab my hand! Come on!

Come on!

Come on! Back over here! Hands around the pole.

Come on! I got ya!

Come on. Look straight ahead.

Congratulations.

Cool. Whoa!

Could be.

Could you do me a favor and hold the wheel for me for a second?

Couldn't have been too great. I woke up alone.

Damn.

Didn't have anywhere to be just then.

Do not attempt to grow a brain.

Do they think I'm doin' this for fun?

Do you hear me? Jack, if you're there, you got to stop the train.

Do you listen? Do you ever...

Don't fuck with Daddy.

Don't give up on me, Jack. Come on, please. Jack, stop it!

Don't go! Don't leave us here!

Don't make any big movements. Okay?

Don't slow down!

Don't worry. I won't go far.

Don't, Sam! Don't let him on!

Drive straight!

Drive straight! Stay in this lane!

End of the line. This day has been real disappointing, I don't mind saying.

Everybody, hold on!

Everybody, hold onto your seats or whatever you can.

Everybody, I'm Jack Traven, L.A.P.D.

Everybody, sit tight. I'm getting off for a minute.

Everyone else, I want you to affirm building evac. Move!

Excuse me.

Excuse me. Are you out of your mind?

Excuse me. Excuse me!

Feeling that we're right back where we started, huh?

Fifty feet. A couple of miles ahead.

Fine. The two of you check it out.

First time in L.A.

For his grace under pressure...

For his quick thinking,

Forget the files. I want you to start going through the pension fund.

Freeze!

Freeze!

From becoming.

Fuck me!

Fuck. You're fired! Everybody's fuckin' fired!

Gee, thanks.

Get her up!

Get in there. Go on.

Get me closer!

Get out of there and sit tight. We're gonna go after the source.

Get rid of that scaffolding and replace it with webbing.

Get to the floor!

Give him the number!

Give me your hand. The hand. Come on.

Give me your hands!

Gives me more time.

Go for the good wound, and he can't get to the plane with her.

Goddamn it, Mac! We gotta get those fuckin' choppers out of here!

Goddamn it! Son of a bitch!

Gold band, fairly cheesy.

Good. Now, you tell them...

Good. That's it. Come on. That's it.

Got enough dynamite strapped to his chest to blow a building in half.

Got it.

Grab my hand! My hand! Grab my hand!

Grab my wrist. That's it. Good.

Grab that, will ya? I want you to write on it.

Gum!

Gunman with one hostage. He's usin' her for cover.

Guts will get you so far, and then they'll get you killed.

Harry, come on, man. I mean, we won, we got him.

Harry, tell me good news, man.

Harry, there's enough C 4 on this thing to put a hole in the world.

Harry, we're on our way to the chopper.

Harry, you told me to.

Harry, you're gonna go home and puke.

Harry. Harry, it's Jack.

Has it been fucked with or loosened or any wires...

He can see me, but can he hear me?

He could've blown that thing from Pacoima.

He doesn't know it blew up.

He hit one in Venice already. Fire chief said there's nothin' left.

He is so persistent. He always gets his man.

He lost his head.

He should be able to circle the runways and buy us some time.

He's almost to a plane. You're a hundred feet away.

He's an encyclopedia of bombs. He knows every kind.

He's been a step ahead every time. If we unload, he'll take them out, I guarantee.

He's been playing me from minute one.

He's bleeding so much, I don't know what to do. There's so much blood!

He's early. The son of a bitch is early.

He's headed for the end of the field.

He's here.

He's losing his three million.

He's not gonna corner himself in a building.

He's not late.

He's running a little late.

Heading in a southbound direction.

Held hostage at the whim of a madman.

Help us! Hurry!

Help! Please! Get us out of here!

Here at the 105 Freeway where the police have successfully led...

Here comes the cavalry.

Here we go. All right.

Here's to you guys for doing your job and for not getting dead.

Here's to you guys for doing your job and for not getting dead.

Hey, come on! What are you guys waiting for?

Hey, get closer. Watch him in the mirror.

Hey, get your ass behind the yellow line.

Hey, hey, hey!

Hey, I'll drop this stick, boy. You want that?

Hey, it's all right. Looks like we're all alone.

Hey, Jack, I saw you on TV. Congratulations.

Hey, Jack, you forgot your muffins.

Hey, Sandy! Here we go! Okay, so how we do...

Hey, shut up, man.

Hey, this area's restricted.

Hey, we're really scared, and we need you right now.

Hey, what are you talkin' about, man?

Hey, your taxes are payin' their salary. If we die, they gotta take a pay cut.

Hey!

Hey! I'll take it from here.

Hey! I'm a cop!

Hey! So if you have a wife...

Hey! Watch it!

Hey. Don't forget about us.

Hey. Hey, buckaroo. It's not 'cause you're a woman, all right?

Hey. Hey, hey, stop! Stop!

Hold his legs! Hold his legs!

Hold it right there!

Hold it!

Hold it. Jack.

Hold on!

Hold on!

Hold on! Oh, God! Here we go! Here we go!

Hold on.

Hold on.

Hold the wheel? Thank you.

Holy shit!

Hope not, 'cause, you know,

How come they sent cops here?

How much you think that elevator weighs?

Huh? I'll get you. I'm gonna get you.

Huh? It seemed a little hammy to me to build the bomb...

Hurry up. Good! Tape off of that.

Hurry, folks, but watch your step. Twenty nine!

I can't bypass. It'll fire.

I can't do that.

I can't do this by myself. Please? Jack, please.

I can't get any more time. He's not talkin'!

I can't get under the bus right now, Harry. It's kind of in motion.

I can't see him!

I don't buy that. It's not a very good way to make money.

I don't have the key.

I don't know you, man. I'm not here for you. Let's not do this.

I don't know.

I don't know. Gut feeling.

I don't know. I got a few choices here.

I don't know. Maybe he couldn't hold his wad long enough.

I don't like it.

I don't show until all your people are gone.

I don't suppose anybody'll give me three million just for you.

I got a medal, too, Jack. A medal and a pink slip and a "sorry about your hand. "

I got it. Okay.

I got so lost. L.A. Is one large place.

I got so tense.

I guess they fell behind.

I had to bail on the freeway. We're in the city.

I hate negotiators, Jack. They talk to you like they're your best friend,

I have a different plan. Mess like that, they don't even count body parts.

I have no idea.

I have to warn you,

I just couldn't handle the freeways anymore.

I just need a few minutes. If I can't do it by then, I can't do it at all.

I know you want a shitload of money you didn't earn.

I know.

I mean, what did we do, bomb the guy's country or something?

I mean, you know...

I need a bib!

I need the goddamn money now!

I own this car. It's not stolen.

I spent my life earning it.

I thought it was customary for a police officer...

I thought that was it. I thought that was the bomb and I was dead.

I wanna see our baby.

I want my money by 11:00 a. m.

I want pictures! I've seen this asshole.

I want reports only. We're in a holding pattern.

I want to look at the files for the last ten years.

I want you in four one, you in one two, and you're in three. Let's move it.

I want you to make a tape and loop it so that it runs over and over.

I want you to stare straight ahead.

I want you to stare straight ahead.

I want you to write on the back, "Bomb on bus. "

I wish, uh, that I had some loftier purpose,

I woke up married, huh, Vinnie?

I'd say he's covered.

I'd wanna know what bus it was.

I'll be damned.

I'm comin' for you, Jack!

I'm eccentric. Get the money. Let's go. Come on!

I'm gonna go home, have some sex.

I'm gonna rip your fuckin' spine out, I swear to God.

I'm gonna try to clear the roads for you.

I'm sorry.

I'm tellin' ya, honey, he's somewhere jerkin' off.

I'm the guy with the plan 'cause I'm smarter than you.

I've got the wheel! I've got it! I've got it!

I've got, uh, plenty to go around!

I've heard relationships based on intense experiences never work.

If anyone tries to get off, it'll explode.

If anything changes, let us know.

If everybody will stay in your seats and remain calm,

If it drops below 50, it blows up.

If we slow down, it'll blow.

In the door! In that door, now!

In there.

In two clear plastic bags, unmarked.

Interactive TV, Jack. Wave of the future! Huh?

Is that gonna work?

Is that news van still around?

Is that news van still around?

Is that that guy?

Is this really gonna work?

It appears it is somewhere between Los Angeles...

It began picking up speed, swerving and hasn't slowed down since.

It could encourage other terrorists...

It doesn't look like it. He's just watching you.

It is a cheap gold watch, buddy.

It is at the corner of Ocean Park and Main.

It was the watch that led him to me, wasn't it?

It went sour, and now he's a little pissed at me.

It'll be empty. You'll be totally clear.

It'll grease the wheels with the money men if you show a little charity.

It's a common problem among middle aged men. So I'm told.

It's gettin' on to 11:00 a. m., Jack,

It's gonna be a real ugly turn, though.

It's him. He wants to know when he's gonna get his money.

It's him. He wants to talk to Jack.

It's Jack. Yeah, I know about Harry.

It's my name. Annie.

It's my nest egg, Jack. At my age, you gotta think ahead.

It's not gonna hurt, Annie.

It's okay. If you need to, you go right ahead and vomit.

It's okay. It's okay. It's over.

It's on three. Let's move!

It's over, Annie. You did it. You did it.

It's running downtown from Venice.

Jack Traven, yes, he asked that you be brought out of harm's way. Just move right over here.

Jack, can you...

Jack, come on! Stop it, okay? Don't give up on me right now, all right?

Jack, come on.

Jack, I'm gonna need you to look at the wire.

Jack, now tell me that you haven't been shooting the passengers.

Jack, please. Please!

Jack, we both know that he was the brains of your particular operation.

Jack, what'd he say?

Jack!

Jack!

Jack! Jack, I can't hold this anymore.

Jack! Jack!

Jack? Jack!

Jack.

Jack. Come on, Jack.

Jesus, I can't believe it.

Jesus, Jack! No, no.

Jesus. Bob, what button did you push?

Just do it!

Just don't tear up my car, all right? Okay, okay, okay.

Just keep it steady.

Just me. That's not against the rules.

Just move back, please.

Just slow down a little bit, all right, man? Just slow do...

Just slow down just a bit, all right?

Just stay on line.

Just take it and walk. You don't need her.

Just take one step, reach out and take my hand.

Just throw me off the train. I don't care. Okay?

L.A.P.D.!

L.A.P.D.! Stop the bus!

L.A.P.D.! There's a bomb on your bus!

Ladies and gentlemen, this is the L.A.P.D.

Large, uh, nonsequential bills...

Let her go.

Let her go. You don't need her. You have the money. Take it and walk. Come on.

Let's get these passengers off the bus!

Let's go, let's go!

Let's go! Move it! Move it!

Let's go.

Lieutenant, we've got movement on the freight elevator.

Lieutenant!

Look out the side of the window and see the other side!

Look, I'm putting my gun away, okay?

Look, you gotta let me have one.

Look, you want the money, I don't want anyone else to die. Let me get on the ground.

Look.

Looks like we're walkin'.

Luck runs out, sooner or later.

Ma'am, please!

Ma'am, you did very well.

Mac, get me out of here.

Mac, this is Annie.

Mac, this is Annie.

Mac, we need more help up here now!

Mac, you'd better clear this site out.

Mac.

Make it jump the track.

Man sure has a hard on for this bus.

Marty, I couldn't be happier with the way this worked out.

Maybe we can do something about those hostages.

Maybe. I might.

Minutes ago, a Los Angeles police officer boarded the bus...

Miss. You can't be this close.

Move, move!

Mr. Bagwell, make sure these other elevators remain locked down and empty.

My God! My God! I just hit the baby!

My money!

No obstructions in the freeway. We have a window here. I wanna make sure it stays open.

No one goes off the bus.

No one's lost a thumb for at least the last ten years.

No other way in or out except through access panels.

No, don't!

No, I don't think I'm gonna do that.

No, I won't sit down. You're scaring the shit out of these people.

No, it's just a guy who wants money.

No, no! No, no, no, no, no!

No, we just take them out of the equation.

No!

No! Don't! Stay above 50!

No! No, no! D Don't! Don't do that!

No! No!

No! No! No! No.

No.

No.

No. He knew we were up to something. He's close by.

Not enough time. Run the tape. We have to unload. I...

Not really.

Nothing personal.

Nothing works! Annie, you won't believe this.

Nothing. It's a game. If he gets the money, he wins.

Now, listen. I don't care about your crime.

Now, now! Get off this!

Now, what do you do?

Now, when the bus did exit here, it had a couple of close calls...

Now.

Now.

Of course, you live here, you probably don't notice.

Of what is turning out to be a harrowing and amazing story...

Officer Harry Temple.

Officer. Officer!

Oh, beautiful. A toast to me.

Oh, boy.

Oh, Christ.

Oh, darn.

Oh, fuck.

Oh, geez!

Oh, God, I thought you were dead. Jack.

Oh, God, look at that.

Oh, God, we're gonna tip over. We're gonna tip over.

Oh, God!

Oh, God.

Oh, God.

Oh, God. We're dragging him. Do you see him?

Oh, hold that.

Oh, I earned it.

Oh, I hate the airport.

Oh, I hate the airport.

Oh, I'm sorry, Jack. He didn't make it.

Oh, Jesus! No! No! Don't!

Oh, Jesus! Oh, no!

Oh, my God! Go look! Lay down and look under the bus and see if you can see him.

Oh, my God! Oh, my God!

Oh, my God! We might have died. I can't think.

Oh, my God.

Oh, shit! It's a collapsible circuit.

Oh, shit! No!

Oh, shit.

Oh, standard flanking deployment, right?

Oh, thank you for the tip, Ortiz.

Oh, that's just funny. You heard me wrong.

Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa!

Oh, yeah.

Oh! In 200 years, we've come from...

Oh. No, poor people are crazy, Jack.

Okay, Jack, this is it. Don't get dead.

Okay, listen. You gotta stay above 50.

Okay, look, man, we don't have to go so fast, all right?

Okay, no, no. Here it is. Here it is.

Okay, son, you can try and unload the driver.

Okay, we got a hard right comin' up at the construction site.

Okay, you, you and you.

Okay! We got a wad! Pretty big!

Okay? Please. All right?

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay. All right. I'm gonna guess he's not gonna go with standard copper for the remote.

Okay. All right. Just stay calm.

Okay. Okay.

Okay. Wait a minute. Escort to where?

On this side of the bus, as far as you can, please!

Once the bus goes 50 miles an hour, the bomb is armed.

One day people will write songs about you.

Open the doors!

Or he won't even get a chance to bleed to death.

Other than that, I'm fine.

Otherwise, you, the wildcat and every innocent person on that bus...

Out of my precious retirement gift.

Over here, over here! As far as you can, now!

Ow!

Ow.

Peter! Come on!

Please help him! Hurry!

Please help us!

Please report, westbound 501. What is your position?

Please, get us out of here!

Police have just issued a general statement,

Pop quiz, asshole.

Pop quiz, hot shot. Terrorist holding a police hostage.

Put pressure front and back, keep his legs up and put this under his head.

Put your bags underneath the seat.

Races around literally in circles at the Los Angeles airport.

Relationships that start under intense circumstances, they never last.

Remember, no big movements. Just look whipped.

Rig the steering wheel and the gas pedal.

Right.

Sam, come on, you gotta move your legs.

Sam, get your foot... Sam, get your foot off the pedal!

Sam!

Sam! God... Shit.

Section missing?

See? We're just two cool guys just hangin' out...

She was pulled under the wheels. This is terrible.

She was scared. She was a nice lady who didn't deserve to get killed.

Shit, shit, shit, shit! Oh, shit!

Shit, what do I do? Officer!

Shit!

Shit!

Shit!

Shit! Oh, Jesus! God! No!

Shit! Shit! Shit!

Shit.

Shit. You!

Shoot the hostage.

Shoot the hostage.

Shoot.

Sir, uh, we have a serious problem.

Six inches off the mark, and they're giving the medal to my wife.

So it's cool now. It's over.

So remember, honey...

So you'd better start thinking.

So you're a tough guy, huh? I got a right to be upset.

So, um, what is this guy's deal?

So, why is all this happening?

Some close calls, huh?

Some of this wiring got screwed up.

Somebody go to the back and check and see if he came out the back! Go!

Something we've all wanted to do for a very long time.

Son of a bitch. I can tell him what to do with his goddamn money.

Speed up!

Stop!

Stop!

Stop! Stop!

Take this. I want you to tell him what I see.

Tell him to stop! Shit! Excuse me! Comin' through.

Temple, we just got a ransom demand from your dead terrorist.

Thank goodness for this freeway.

Thanks for pushing that, Bob. The light's on.

Thanks to them, the only life taken by the terrorist's bomb was his own.

Thanks.

That ain't gonna be too hard.

That must be Bravo Tango, an emergency runway.

That the drop point is Pershing Square.

That was a nice move, man. Whoo!

That'd be too weak. I'd use a fiber alloy.

That's an incredible ride... the 10 Freeway...

That's its meaning, its purpose. Your life is empty...

That's our scumbag! We got him, Jack. We found him.

That's so romantic.

That's where they'll come, but that's not where I'll be.

That's... very gross, Ortiz.

The bastard's got a camera right in your face. He can see the whole bus.

The bomber. He's back.

The bomber's also wired the hatch to trigger the bomb,

The bus apparently came onto the freeway at the Lincoln on ramp.

The bus hasn't exploded, but... Oh, my God.

The bus is on Western,

The choppers can't fly in there. It's restricted airspace.

The elevators.

The guy's just talkin' crazy. It gets on my nerves.

The least you could do is slow down! Come on!

The nearest access panel's on the 32nd floor in the lobby.

The only way in or out is through access panels.

The other people in jeopardy are the passengers of the bus...

The radio's down. Now, the number of the bus is 2525.

The two dead are a female passenger and the driver of another bus,

The watch is a shitty timer. Why use it? What's he sayin'?

Then hold straight. I've got some units waiting for you there.

Then it's gonna be under the bus. Probably it was rigged to one of the axles.

There are rules, Jack, and I want you to get this right.

There has been an elevator malfunction, so just relax.

There is a bomb on this bus.

There will come a time, boy, when you'll wish you'd never met me.

There you are.

There's a bomb on a bus.

There's a camera on the bus just over my left shoulder.

There's a curve ahead. I'm gonna speed it up,

There's a gap in the road up ahead. It's big.

There's a garbage can on the northeast corner.

There's a section missing.

There's a... What? Fuck!

There's gonna be 50 cops waiting for you in the basement.

There's still gonna be plenty of us to kill.

They'll give you another medal?

They're giving you a medal for shooting me, you little prick.

They're gonna lead you to the 105 Freeway. It's not in use.

Thirty minutes.

Thirty one!

Thirty!

This guy could've blown us up at any time. Whew.

This guy uses C 4, dynamite, different trigger every time,

This guy's drawin' disability. He may not be L.A.P.D., but he's livin' here now.

This guy's out of his mind.

This guy's out of his mind.

This is a special news bulletin. We are following the progress...

This is about my money. This is about money due me.

This is much better.

This is really stupid. Jack. Jack, please. You can still jump.

This is taking way too long.

This is the wrong bus.

This Santa Monica bus has ended up here at Los Angeles International Airport...

This stick, huh, works on a remote.

This track dead ends, Jack. You gotta get off this train. This is crazy.

This way I can just relax all the way to work.

Through dedication and bravery, these next two officers...

To, you know, shoot the bad guys, huh?

Too bad, Jack. You could've made a good cop.

Turn around!

Turn around.

Two years I invested myself in it.

Two years I spent setting up that elevator job.

Um, stay on or get off?

Underneath you, man.

Unreal.

Up! Get your ass up!

Usually they fall down now.

Very, very exciting, Jack.

Wait a minute. What are you doin'?

Was it good for you?

Watch it, watch it!

Watch the road! Oh, shit!

Watch the road.

Watch the road. You should've been a pilot.

Watch your head, ma'am.

Way to go, Jack. Way to go.

We are now.

We are the two luckiest guys in the world, you know that?

We did the mug shots already. That's not gonna help.

We don't have to go so fast, do we? I mean, we don't... we don't have to go...

We don't know what authorities are planning to do, but we can...

We evacuated anyway. Come on.

We got him now! Come on, pull!

We got no match for that description.

We gotta get these people off the bus somehow.

We gotta stop this thing!

We have a slight situation on the bus here. Ma'am, if you'll please sit down...

We have an injured man here. The driver's been shot.

We move these people, he'll see.

We should be able to diffuse the problem.

We still have no live picture,

We still have no live picture,

We won't be able to hold this thing steady for very long.

We'll have you out of there as soon as possible.

We're at the airport.

We're gonna have to take you off the air temporarily.

We're gonna have to try to bypass the remote current with the battery.

We're gonna take you guys back and have you checked out.

We're not gonna shoot 'em, right?

Well, how far?

Well, I should probably tell you that I'm taking the bus...

Well, I think Harry would be very disappointed,

Well, right now Mac outranks your gut, so we sit.

Well, that money hasn't moved.

Well, um... Okay, well, undo me and I'd love to go with you. Come on. Please.

What about the freight elevators?

What are you gonna do, Jack? I don't think you can shoot her.

What are you... What? Oh! Oh, shit! Oh, shit!

What do you do, Jack, huh? What do you do?

What do you do? What do you do!

What do you think, Jack?

What do you think?

What does that have to do with us?

What if I shift into neutral and just keep the engine revving?

What is he doing? Oh, my God, he is insane.

What is that smell?

What is that?

What we have here are 13 passengers in an express elevator below floor 30.

What, you thought you needed another challenge or something?

What?

What's on your mind, Harry?

What's the matter?

Whatever you did, I'm sure that you're sorry.

Whatever you say, ma'am.

When a small charge left him with fingers numbering nine. "

When that bomb went off...

When we hit the gap, heads down.

Where is he? Is he there?

Which I will collect. $3.7 million.

Which really doesn't tell us much more than all the previous statements.

Which seats him in the crazy but not stupid section.

Who's up there?

Who's up there? What's going on?

Whoa, shit!

Whoa, shit!

Whoa.

Whoo! Oh, my God! Oh, God! Is everybody all right?

Why are they messing with me, huh?

Why aren't they in school? Why aren't you in school?

Why don't you just drive over these people or something?

Why don't you just let everybody die in peace, if that's what's gonna happen, huh?

Why, because you didn't get to kill everyone?

Will the mystery guest please sign in?

With a few cars on the Century Freeway.

Worthy and Briggs, I want you to secure the base area. No one in or out.

Would be pushing it.

Wouldn't be able to interest you in a bribe, would I?

Write it, write it, write it!

Yeah, and everything we do to dismantle it.

Yeah, I guess so. I don't really know.

Yeah, I hate to use the word "tourist," but it's not like I can hide it.

Yeah, let's hope it's built. Let's move!

Yeah, right.

Yeah, well, I love my car. I miss my car.

Yeah, well, that'll be fun too.

Yeah, well, what's to like? Mac said we hold, so we hold.

Yeah, yeah, you get on the bus.

Yeah, yeah! All right! Oh.

Yeah?

Yeah? Well, you know, the last time I partied like that,

Yeah? What was it?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah. Just a second.

Yeah. Mac, where have you been?

Yes!

Yes!

Yes!

Yes! Oh!

You are a good, kind man.

You are the man. You are the man!

You bastard! How does that feel?

You can't beat me. You're gonna pay me every dollar.

You couldn't understand the kind of commitment that I have.

You didn't leave me.

You didn't leave me. I can't believe it.

You don't know how I feel about this. You don't even know me.

You don't see him, like, back by the tires?

You drop the bags and leave.

You fuck!

You go to the University of Arizona?

You got blinders on to the world.

You got it. Come on. Come on.

You have a hair trigger aimed at your head. What do you do?

You have police orders to return to the station, westbound 501. Do you copy?

You have to hold this. It's like a grenade. You have to help me now.

You have to keep him straight, or I think the wound will tear.

You know I can't.

You know what? I got gum on my seat.

You like that, huh? You like it, you bastard?

You ruin a man's life's work, and you think you can walk away.

You scratch this puppy, and me and you are gonna have words, you understand?

You shot me. I can't believe it.

You slow down, and this bus'll explode!

You stay! Move it! Move it!

You still don't get it, do you, Jack? Huh? The beauty of it.

You think I'm gonna tell you that?

You think if you pick up all the bus driver's teeth,

You try to take any passengers off the bus, I will detonate it.

You want me to help you? I need to talk to these people face to face.

You...

You... You...

You'd better not be calling in sick, 'cause I dragged my ass out of...

You'd better understand it. We were dealing with a total psycho.

You're crazy. You're fuckin' crazy.

You're gonna do exactly as you're told.

You're gonna have to cut off the sheath. But don't cut the wire.

You're kidding. How big?

You're not gonna get mushy on me, are ya?

You're not too bright, man,

You're right. We're gonna tip over. Everyone on this side of the bus now!

You're so smart. Right, Jack? You piece of shit.

Your concern is the bus. And don't try to call.

A watch? What kind of watch? Gold.

A wild party, huh? Yeah, well, I don't remember it that well.

All right, here's our target. Fox? Yes, sir.

All right. I want you back real fast. Fine.

and then run it to the lead wire. Copy.

Annie, a little closer! Okay.

Annie. As opposed to "ma'am. "

Annie. Sam!

Annie. What?

Anyone we know? I don't recognize the work, but he's a pro.

Are these seats taken? No. No.

Are they going to help us? Sure they are. They're the police.

Are you insured? Yeah. Why?

Are you ready to die, friend? Fuck you.

Brass fittings! Brass fittings.

Bull's eye! Great. Okay, I want you to clip on the battery...

But you never know. It really might be broken. Shut up.

But you've done all right for yourself. What do you want?

Can you remember all that? What are you telling me for?

Can you see him? He's not behind us!

Can you see him? No!

Can't they just pry the doors open? I can't breathe.

Cans! Cans! I just hit the baby! Oh, my God!

Clear shot. You're deeply nuts. You know that?

Come in. Copy. Jack, this is Mac.

Come on, come on. Come on! God.

Come on, lady! Come on! No.

Come on, man. Get us out of here! Hello?

Come on, Sam. I got you. I can't stay! I can't...

Come on! Hurry!

Come on! Right there! Over there! Helen, no! No!

Congratulations. Good for you.

Did ya have any luck with the bomb? Yeah. It didn't go off.

Do you copy? Mac.

Do you see him? Jack!

Do you think that's a good idea? It'll be okay.

Drive straight! Keep it straight!

Elevator dropped. Oh, good. That's good to know.

Everybody hold on! This side of the bus!

Fifty feet. Jack. What?

Get in. You get back in there!

Get on the shoulder. Okay.

Get rid of your butt, Annie. Okay, it's gone, it's gone.

Get those cameras to stop taping. Right.

Go ahead, drop the stick. Do it. Shut up, Harry.

Go left!

Go! There's one more. Can you get her out?

Go! Go! Wh What? Ow! My foot!

God, it's hot in here. There's no air.

Great God! Oh, my shoe!

Harry, he's alive. What?

Harry, it's covered. Yeah, I know.

Harry, you with me? Yeah. You be careful, Jack.

Have a good one, Bob. Thanks, Jack. Take care, huh?

He can see me... Just keep looking straight ahead.

He's all right! Yeah! Whoo!

He's just entered the airport. All right!

He's letting us unload the driver. Norwood, get us closer!

He's on the line for you. Okay, give him the number.

Hello? What's going on?

Help me out! Please help me out! Watch your head.

Help me! Okay, I've got you. I've got you.

Hey! Hey, Mac!

Hi. Hi.

Ho! I'm all right. I'm all right.

Ho! Uh oh! Wait, wait. No. No. No.

Hold him! I got him! We're clear!

Hold on now. I got ya. Just grab my hand.

Hold on, man. Hold on. Sam, lift your head.

Hold on. Hold on.

How are you doing? You all right? Mm mm.

How big is the section? Fifty feet. At least.

How is that possible? I don't know how, Mac. I just know he is.

How ugly? What's ugly?

How you doin'? You scared the shit out of me, Jack! Ow.

How you feelin'? Like I've been shot.

How're you doing? Okay.

I can't see him! Are you sure?

I don't get it.

I got a wife. Oh, you do?

I gotta get on that bus. You gotta get...

I guess that wraps it up. Good work, everybody.

I have to, Annie. No, Helen! No, Helen, no!

I need to know, can you handle this bus? I'm fine, I'm fine.

I only have a minute of tape. Do it now!

I see him! What?

I see him! You do? Is he okay?

I think I can reach the circuit wire. He can reach the circuit wire.

I think I have the right to be a little bit upset... What are you staring at anyway?

I'll find you. Okay.

I'm so sorry. Don't be.

I'm such a yokel. There, I said it. Geez.

Is that correct? Yes, sir.

Is your watch slow? Uh uh. No, no. He jumped the gun.

It doesn't look good. Got ya.

It doesn't mean you don't care. I know, but she was so scared.

It is now. Move over. Fuck! Oh, man.

It's gas. We're leaking gas?

It's okay. Give me your hands. Pull me through!

Jack, this track can't... What?

Jack! Damn it!

Jack? Jack! Yeah.

Jack. Shit!

Jack. Yeah.

Jesus! You think I wouldn't have been prepared?

Jesus. Get off!

Just him? For now. Gigantor!

Just tell me what the plan is. Is there a plan? Just for you to drive.

Keep going. It's red!

L.A.P.D. I need this unit. You can broadcast U.H.F.? Yeah, sure.

Let's go! Let's go! Come on! Come on!

Let's take this off, shall we? Yes, let's take this off.

Lots of people have watches, Harry. This guy has no M.O.

Mac, I got 'em patched through! Right.

Mac, we're boned. I'll get you out, Jack.

Mac. Mac here. Go ahead.

Mac. Mac here. Go ahead.

Mac. Fuel. Yeah. Jack, five minutes.

Mazel tov. Mazel tov.

My tools! Will somebody get him his tools?

No, he'd have thought of that. Then what then? What? What?

No, I'm sightseein'. Oh, really?

No, it's clean. Huh?

No, you were lucky. No, we were lucky.

No! Please!

No. I wanna look at cops. Come on. Let's go.

No. No, I can't! It's going to fall.

Norwood, get a fuel car out here on the double. Right.

Now, we went over the rules. As an act of faith.

Oh, God! Watch your head. Watch your head.

Oh, I hit him! What the hell was that?

Oh, my God! Oh, my God! Come on.

Oh, my God! What's happening? Grab her hand!

Oh, no, I live here. No, I mean mine.

Oh, please open the door! I don't wanna die! Please!

Oh, shit! What the...

Oh, shit. I think you missed your calling.

Oh, thank you! You're fine.

Oh, would that be you, Jack? He doesn't seem to have been able to stop the bus...

Oh, yeah? Yeah. I've done extensive studying on this.

Okay, Annie, get as close as you can, okay? All right.

Okay, how's this?

Okay. All right?

Okay. Norwood, I want aerial units up ahead.

Okay. Okay, I need you to pass him to me.

One on the axle I can't really see, a cellular remote... Officer.

Open up! Get off the door, man! This ain't no bus stop!

Ortiz. Ortiz. I'm gonna need your help.

Please help me! Joan, get back! We'll get you out!

Please, sir, stop taping. Come on. Come on.

Put your hand out. Take his hand. Don't look down.

Right, chief? That's right.

Right. He can see you.

Right. You, sir. This gentleman's gonna drive you...

Sam! What?

Save me! I wanna get out! Open the door!

Says he's rigged a city bus. Where's Jack? Where do you think?

See any wires or anything? Excuse me, ma'am.

Shit, it's moving. He's got the money. Jack!

Shit. Hold on! Hold on!

So where does that put us? I have to try and dismantle that bomb.

So, you're a cop, right? That's right.

Somebody move his legs!

Sorry. Oh, my God!

Stay on or get off? Off! Off! Hold on!

Stop the bus! Sit down! He can't! Listen...

Stop the bus! Stop it! Look, look! Listen!

Stop this bus! What?

Take care, Sam. Okay, Annie.

Take her. Okay, let's go! Next! Okay, lady, come on.

Take it easy! You're fine.

Take it off. Hello? Hello?

Take the phone. Take the wheel.

Tape it. Good. Come on, tape it! It's taping!

Thank God! What are you doing up there?

Thank you. Oh. I've got you, ma'am.

Thank you. Thank you very much. Goddamn! Yes!

Thanks, Bob. Yeah, you looked fat.

That guy really wants to get on the bus. Open up! Stop!

That is a dead end. There's a turn.

That leaves 23 minutes exactly. Anything else that'll keep this elevator from falling?

That's a decoy. Classic. That's a classic decoy.

That's good. That's good. Grab my wrist and come across.

The basement. The city would like to avoid that event, Officer Traven.

The choppers are gone, Jack. Let's dump the passengers now. No way. He's ready for that.

the runaway bus...

The track isn't finished. I repeat, the track... Mac, I copy.

There we go. There we go. Harry, my man.

There's a bomb on your bus! Watch the road!

There's a gap in the freeway. What?

There's thousands of people there. That's my boy, Jack.

This ain't no bus stop. Oh, Sam!

This guy is nuts! Gosh darn.

This is crazy. Right along up there?

This is not a very good plan. Have faith, sister.

This man has no time. No one gets off!

This should take care of it. Ow!

Turn around. Where's Payne?

Turn it on. What for? It hasn't moved.

Watch it. I'm sorry.

Watch your back. Wait, wait, wait for me!

We can get to his place inside of 15 minutes. Great.

We can't do it, sir. There's no time for any stunts, Traven.

We can't just unload the passengers? This is an express elevator.

We can't pull that kind of money in time. Focus, Jack!

We gotta get these people out of harm's way. I got orders!

We had three minutes left. Why does he do that?

We made it! We made it.

We think maybe he's a cop. Lieutenant!

We're gonna die. No, we're not. We got this far, okay?

We're gonna get the bus driver off the bus! We're gonna get the driver off.

We're okay for now. Just keep us above 50. Good plan.

What about the rest of us? What about the rest of us? Hey, hey! Lady!

What do you mean? How big is a gap?

What else? Three triggers.

What else? What else?

What for? Speeding.

What if you win? Then tomorrow we'll play another one.

What is this? Geez.

What, are you just gonna leave us here? I would.

What? Floor it!

What? Get off this.

What? He can see you.

What? He's never late.

What? He's not back here!

What? I'm a cop!

What? Just keep circling. You'll be fine.

What? This freeway isn't finished.

What? Jack! Floor it.

What's our clock? He gave one hour.

What's that? Hello!

Whatever it takes. Hello!

When I find you... Pop quiz, hot shot.

When you explode, Yeah.

Where do we get an escort to? Watch out!

Where do we start? Check the speedometer.

Where, right here? Right here? Yeah. Yeah.

Why didn't you just come after me? No, this is about me.

Yeah? He's letting me off.

Yeah. Doesn't make any sense.

Yeah. I think we have trust.

Yeah. Jack.

Yeah. So? Good football team.

Yes, sir. Now, there's no other way, no doors...

Yes. Very good.

Yes. Yes. Oh, my God!

You are a complete jerk! You know that? Oh, thank God!

You can't take me anywhere. That's mine.

You have to let me off. Oh, no! That's not good.

You okay? You okay? Yeah. I'm okay. I'm okay.

You see? You're beginning to see how it works, huh? Westbound 501.

You sure it'll hold? It'll hold.

...

...was driving the bus. Well, I couldn't tell how old...

"Howard Payne, Atlanta P.D. Bomb squad.

"I regret but I have one life to give for my country" to "Fuck you"?

"Retired in Sun Valley in 1989...

"Shoot the hostage. " Geez.

"The whim of a madman. " I like that.
