12 Rounds Page #6

You had no reason to kill him.

I didn't, Danny.

You had the choice to save him.

- It was your round to win.

- Bullshit!

Screw your choices!

Screw your rounds!

Are you givin' up on me?

'Cause if you wanna stop playin'...

I'm sure other arrangements can be made.

- No.

- All right. So, as Molly said...

- the clue to the next round-

- Molly said nothing!

I just watched a man die,

and I don't even know if Molly's still alive.

- Excuse me?

- [Grunts]

Keep him on.

[Danny]

I need a minute to figure this out.

There's nothin' to figure, Danny.

Is the F.B.I. tryin' to trace this call?

Tsk, tsk, tsk.

Let me guess.

First it was your friends in the police department

who realized the cell was encrypted.

Then it was the F.B.I. -

George Aiken

and all his wonderful little toys?

Hold for position.

Everybody hold for position.

I must say, I really am touched...

how you've all come together

for this little affair.

[Line Clicks]

- Not enough time.

- [Slams Phone]

[Cell Phone Ringing]

- Yeah.

- So why don't we start over again...

see if it's that much fun

the second time around.

Or maybe-

[Call Ends]

[Cell Phone Ringing]

- Yeah.

- Third time lucky?

So, as Molly said before, the clue

to the next round is framed in the lobby-

a picture of a lonely man, which is how

you'll end up if you don't play nice.

You try and trace my call again,

I am gonna start cutting Molly's toes off.

So, how about I call you again

in two minutes?

Would that give you ample time to grieve?

[Line Clicks]

We lost the signal.

Miles says hello.

[Santiago]

This isn't working.

Before today, the feds

have been up on Miles's cell phone...

a grand total of one time.

It's working just fine.

If Danny keeps doing this,

a lot more people are gonna get hurt.

[Cell Phone Ringing]

- Don't answer the phone.

- What the hell you think you're doin'?

Listen to me for a second,

all right, Danny?

Willie can be the last person

who has to die today.

Answer the goddamn phone.

- We'll find Molly.

- Shut up! Answer the goddamn phone.

- It's Claiborne and Toulouse.

- Well done, Danny.

I must say, I am impressed

with your detective skills...

but with all the help

you've been gettin' from the F.B. I...

it seems just a little bit unfair.

I'm playing the game, Miles.

That's all that counts, right?

How very true, but it's time

to see you play for yourself for a change.

Be at the location in the photo

in 10 minutes.

You come alone,

and you'll have a 50-50 chance...

of having the time of your life.

We're more than halfway through, Danny.

- And I've got a little bit of a surprise for ya.

- [Beeps]

Don't be a hero, Ray.

It's not in your pay grade.

[Santiago On Radio]

Danny, we got two teams three blocks out.

What do you see?

[Voices Echoing]

[Voice Filtered]

I don't see anything.

He said 10 minutes, Danny.

It's been 10.

[Engine Revs]

[Danny]

Still got nothin'.

[Traffic Echoing]

[Santiago]

Just stay in your position.

We got you covered.

Stay right there.

[Cell Phone Ringing]

[Boy] Whatever.

I don't know if he's gonna go pro.

- Tell me you've got something.

- [Chuckles] Danny, get ready to be happy.

I got a pissed-off member

of the Black Liberation Army is what I got.

Miles had him kill a couple guards

during the prison break...

and then left the brother behind

to take the fall.

- When can you get him to talk?

- Soon as I get the judge to sign the warrant.

Give me 10 minutes.

- I'm gonna need it in two.

- [Miles's Voice] You got a 50-50 chance.

It's the bus.

I'm getting on.

- Molly?

- Stop.

Danny, I love you.

You two lovebirds care for a sit?

I'm gonna get you out of this.

- [Santiago] Was he just talking to someone?

- Just stay calm, Molly.

Ah, well, look at this.

Surprise, surprise.

Testing. Testing.

One-

- [Static On Radio]

- Was that Miles?

- Does he have Miles on the phone, or is he there?

- [Aiken] Miles is on the bus.

All teams, we have a confirmation.

Miles Jackson is on the bus.

Proceed with Op 2 Delta

and get me a sniper team out here now.

[Sirens Wailing]

This is it.

This is his mistake.

We got SWAT ready.

Why don't we just take him out now?

We stop that bus now,

he turns this into a bloodbath.

We know where he is.

We're takin' our shot.

Alpha 1, set up

and prepare to stop the target.

[Miles]

Can't have you runnin' off, now, can I?

Round 7, Danny.

To win, you simply let me walk away.

But if my thumb leaves

the surface of this screen for any reason...

and I don't put it back

within 10 seconds or less...

well, then you lose the round,

and two things happen.

First of all, a small charge explodes...

and fires a three-inch nail

into Molly's heart.

I'm aiming for the right atrium,

but we'll see what happens.

Thirty seconds later, after she's dead...

a second, larger charge will explode...

and they'll be cleaning

everyone up off this bus in pieces.

[Sirens Wailing]

What can I say, Danny?

I just like to play the game.

- I didn't mean for Erica to die.

- I don't think that matters.

That's the one I want.

Set up on the 10 overpass.

SWAT team, this is Agent Santiago.

Take position at the north

on the interstate overpass at Perdido.

Await instructions.

Here. Catch.

[Laughing]

Oh, you should see the look on your faces.

Miles, let her go.

It's between you and me.

Well, I'm afraid, if I let Molly go, Danny,

you won't play the game.

Look at those eyes.

You're thinkin',

"Can I get to the phone on time?

Why did Miles ask to meet me here?"

F*** you!

Very clever.

I asked you here, Danny...

'cause I wanted to see the face of a man

who knows he can't win-

the face of a man whose life is sitting

five feet in front of him...

yet he can't just reach out and grab her.

- Ha!

- Is there somethin' funny?

Yeah, there is.

He's gonna win,

and then he's gonna kill you.

She's a feisty one, isn't she?

- [Tires Screeching]

- [Sirens Wailing]

- Three cover men on the west side.

- Got it.

Jason, you're scout.

Set up section one.

[Man On Radio]

Sniper Team 1, T.R.T. team in place.

- What if I don't believe you?

- Sorry?

What if I think that vest is for show?

Pick everybody up in pieces?

Miles, that bomb blows, you die too.

What's keeping me

from reaching over there...

and kicking the sh*t out of you?

Nothing.

But I know you won't-

'cause you're predictable, Danny.

You think I'm lyin'?

Here. Take it.

[Aiken On Radio]

All teams, hold on my mark.

Sir, that's a 75-yard shot

through a moving bus window.

One sniper's gotta break the glass,

another one's gotta get the hit.

- You sure this is how you wanna do this?

- Team Delta, prepare for visual.

Teams Bravo and Charlie,

hold for extract once shots are fired.

This is Delta 1.

We have confirmed subject, but no clear shot.

No clear shot. Female hostage

is in and out of the target line.

Don't wanna take it? Fine.

Well, here's something

that you will want- clue to Round 8.

[Aiken]

Sniper Team 1,you have the green light.
