12 Rounds Page #8

Synopsis: Uniformed New Orleans PD officer Danny Fisher earns his promotion to detective to his near-rather lucky, albeit brave, arrest of ruthless terrorist arms-dealer Miles Jackson, whose girlfriend Erica Kessen got accidentally killed during the dirty FBI-operation. Exactly a year later, Miles has escaped and blows up Danny's house as foretaste of a Herculean race to accomplish twelve near-impossible tasks against the clock, otherwise his kidnapped wife Molly will be killed. Yet at the end, another master-plan is suspected.

- [Passengers Screaming]

- Get down!

- [People Shouting]

- [Conductor] Everybody all right?

- You guys all right?

- [Woman] Thank God!

- [Danny] Is everybody okay?

- [Santiago] You okay, man?

[Cell Phone Dialing]

- [Miles] Yeah?

- We're here.

I'm gettin' the truck now.

- Is she okay? You okay, darlin'?

- [Cell Phone Ringing]

- Yeah, she's okay.

- Yeah?

Dog, we gotta start takin' the bus.

[Sighs]

That's a great idea.

Why don't you guys go ahead and do that.

Thank you.

They're gonna shut off the power.

[Laughs]

[Cell Phone Rings]

This is gettin' a little too easy, Miles.

What, are you gettin' soft on me?

How about you give me something

that's gonna be a challenge?

You sound pretty pleased

with yourself, Danny.

Why? Because you stopped the trolley...

or because you went ahead

with your own round?

Very admirable. Okay.

- Welding factory. Second floor hallway.

- [Whispering, Indistinct]

If Round 10 is your best friend

takin' Anthony Deluso...

then Round 11

is me taking your best friend.

Hank, pick up.

[Message Voice] The person

you are calling is not-

- It's going to voice mail.

- You all right?

- [Hammer C*cks]

- [Deluso] You are persistent.

Sh*t.

Attaboy.

[Chuckles]

You honestly didn't think

a man like Miles...

wouldn't have a plan

for something like this?

[Beeping]

Whatever the plan is,

apparently you're not part of it.

B*tch.

[Santiago]

I don't have anything, man.

I got somebody on the phone.

I'm trying to get you a straight answer.

- Nobody's got anything.

- How can you not get a straight answer?

Miles knew about it.

He knew about everything.

He knew about Hank. He knew about Deluso.

He was at the warehouse.

- I hear what you're sayin'.

- It's been a half hour. Something, anything.

[Aiken]

Danny.

There was an explosion at the factory.

There are firefighters on the scene now,

but Hank was inside.

There's no way he could've made it.

I'm sorry.

Danny, wait.

Danny, wait, wait.

- Get off of me!

- Hey.

Okay, look, three years ago...

Miles stole three Stingers

from a U.S. military shipment in Iraq.

We tracked him to Pakistan.

But the day the deal went down...

I lost Miles and I lost the guns.

Two days later, one of those Stingers...

shot down a 747 out of Islamabad.

This was the only thing

I could find intact in the rubble.

What I'm saying is I made a mistake here.

I forgot why I carry this.

This isn't about Miles.

This is about the people he's hurt

and the ones he's gonna hurt.

- Guys, I'm never gonna see her again.

- Don't say that.

Yes, you are.

We got one round left.

And I know Miles better

than any person alive. Let me help you.

[Police Radio Chatter]

[Cell Phone Ringing]

[Miles]

#Oh, Danny boy #

# The pipes

the pipes are calling ##

Sorry about the delay, Danny.

But I think that we're just about ready

for our grand finale.

It is Round 12, and, this time...

we won't be goin'

to the judges' scorecards.

In 17 minutes, it will be exactly one year

since Erica's death...

and I have to ask-

will Molly suffer a similar fate?

- Miles, you don't have to do this.

- Too late.

You've done well to survive this long.

Now all you have to do is find her.

She has a touch phone

strapped to her chest...

along with some other,

more explosive items.

Except this time, only your thumbprint...

only your touch, can stop the timer.

Tell me where she is.

Are you sorry for what you've done?

Yes, Miles, I'm sorry.

Then perhaps maybe you should

pay her a visit, tell her so yourself.

It's been fun, Danny, but game over.

Pay Erica a visit?

It's the cemetery. Where is she buried?

Where is she buried?

I need you to pull the cemetery records

of all Orleans Parish.

Last name:
Kessen.

K- E-S-S-E-N.

First name:
Erica.

That's with a "C."

This is Ray Santiago of the F.B.I.

I need a police escort.

We are Canal and Royal

heading out of the C.B.D.

Metairie Cemetery.

Tell whoever gets there-

don't touch anything.

- I'm the only one that can defuse that bomb.

- We know, Danny.

[Sirens Wailing, Horns Blowing]

- Anybody on the scene yet?

- They're arriving now, but remember, this is Miles.

The cemetery might just be the first step.

[Cell Phone Ringing]

That's bullshit! Why have I

been doing this sh*t all day?

If he wanted to kill us,

he should've done it when he had the chance.

Danny, your phone.

- Yeah?

- Danny. Chuck Jansen.

Two things Hank had me working on-

they're not making any sense.

I ran a trace

on all five numbers from earlier.

They were all connected to the device

under the streetcar. All five numbers.

Not only that, Miles had remote cameras

in the elevator shaft.

We pulled the tapes.

He blew the device early, Danny.

You still had five seconds to save Willie.

Like I said, it was the last thing

Hank had me working on, but-

- [Line Clicks]

- [Brakes Squeal]

Danny, Danny. Danny, why are we stopping?

- Willie was always gonna die.

- What are you talking about?

Miles had security cameras

in the elevator.

Saw I was gonna save him

and blew the charge early.

And all those numbers-all five of them-

were connected to the same streetcar.

You already told me once, George.

I arrested this guy.

I don't even know him.

This is your guy.

What am I missing?

Joshua.

- Every time he plays, what does Miles want?

- [Santiago] He wants to win.

Miles wants to be the guy

that nobody can beat.

The deal with Samuel and Joshua. He went

to a lot of trouble to get some revenge.

- But what else did we find in the car?

- Diamonds.

He steals from the U.S. military,

he sells it for a profit.

He's had Molly for over three and a half hours.

Not once has he mentioned ransom.

- This isn't about revenge.

- It is about the money.

Ray, give me all the information we got

on the security guard from the hotel.

[Sirens Wailing]

[Device Beeping]

Willie Dumaine has a second job

as a Homewood Security guard.

Hi. I'm Tom Baxter.

Office called,

said Willie Dumaine's a no-show.

I'm pickin' up his shift.

Thank you.

[Danny]

This guy's had us runnin' all day.

For one second,

we've just gotta stop and think.

- Today, what did I actually do?

- Does this even matter?

You're still the only one

who can deactivate that bomb.

He took my house.

He took Molly.

That's what he did to get you to play.

What else happened at the hotel?

He blew the gas lines.

They evacuated three city blocks.

Three city blocks?

Get me a list of those buildings.

[Sirens Wailing]

Any one of those numbers-any one

would've gone back to that very streetcar.

- I had to stop the streetcar.

- No, no, no. You had to cut the power.

After Katrina, when the power

was out all over the city-

Homewood Security comes in

to move all the unprotected cash.

Wait a second.

What was that last one?

Holy sh*t. One of the buildings

that we evacuated...

is a temporary holding facility

for the Bureau of Engraving and Printing.

That's the goddamn mint.
