12 Rounds Page #9

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.

[Man]

Glad y'all got here.

Our backup generator's

gonna run out at midnight.

Fed's been pullin' all the old hundreds

and fifties out of circulation.

That's the entire Southeast allotment.

- Total's just over-

- $100 million?

Hey, Ray, you go with SWAT to the mint...

and you shut everything down-

all cars, all pedestrians.

You stop it,

and you lock it in the Quarter.

We got eight minutes

to get you to the cemetery.

- Don't you want Miles?

- Not till we get Molly.

[Engine Revving]

Thanks.

Thank me when it's over.

Tell me something. If Miles knows

we're shutting down the city...

how's he getting the money out?

[Horn Blowing]

Only emergency vehicles are leaving the Quarter.

Miles isn't gettin' anywhere.

[Miles's Voice]

See, in your time constraints...

you might want to use

the fire truck for this one.

- [Tires Screeching]

- [Aiken] Hey.

Hey, what are you doin'?

Molly's at the cemetery.

Nope. That a**hole even told me

to wear the hat and use the siren.

Everything I did today had a purpose.

From the time Molly walked out the door...

there isn't a thing I did today

that Miles didn't plan.

He makes sure I wreck the fire truck

so he could steal it.

He threatens my brother

so I'm not thinking straight.

He shows me Molly

to keep me in the game. It's obvious.

If she's still alive,

Molly's his ticket out.

I need to speak with hospital security.

[Siren Wailing]

Wake up, baby.

We're here.

- [Remote Beeps]

- [Shouting, Screaming]

[All Shouting]

[Shouting Continues Outside]

- Almost finished.

- [Whimpers]

You do like I say, and we will both

live happily ever after.

[Spits]

[Gasping]

Now, where are those body bags?

[Woman On P.A.]

Attention, all hospital personnel.

Explosion reported outside east wing.

Please report to your stations.

Attention, all hospital personnel.

Explosion reported outside the east wing.

Please report to your stations, stat.

[Man]

It's an explosion. They need us down there.

No, I'm not sure.

I'm going there right now.

[Siren Wailing]

[Horn Honking]

[Gasping]

Cordon off University Hospital.

Let nobody in or out.

Think you can fly us

to Tahiti in this thing, yeah?

Get in.

They're here.

- [Helicopter Whirring]

- [Danny] She's taking off.

[Man On Radio]

Eagle 1, is that you up there?

You have not been authorized for takeoff.

Eagle 1 requesting-

Fly!

[Tires Screeching]

You're not stalling on me,

darlin', are ya?

If you wanna fly this thing, you go ahead.

Yeah, well, how about you teach me?

- [Groans]

- [Gunshots Continue]

Take us up!

Take us up!

- You all right?

- Go!

Make a good decision.

[Groans]

Danny!

[Groans]

You're gonna be fun to kill.

- Uh!

- Oh!

[Straining]

Danny, he's got a gun!

[Molly On Radio]

We're losing hydraulic pressure.

I need to find a place to put her down.

[Man On Radio]

Can you make it back to the hospital?

Negative.

I need to stabilize flight controls,

or else we are going down.

Gun, Danny!

He's going for the gun!

[Grunts]

[Molly On Radio]

Mayday! Mayday! This is Eagle 1.

Tell me you can still land this thing.

He busted the hydraulics.

We're going down, Danny.

Please confirm status, Eagle 1.

[Continues, Indistinct]

Damn it! Danny!

[Groans]

- I gotta set her down.

- Please confirm status, Eagle 1.

[Defibrillator Charging]

[Molly]

Clear emergency landing.

- [Controller Continues, Indistinct]

- Danny!

Danny! Talk to me!

- [Current Buzzing]

- [Screaming]

[Grunting]

Mayday! This is Eagle 1.

Full emergency-

Knockout, Danny! This time,

you're not gonna get saved by the bell.

Hold on, Danny!

Hold on!

[Alarm Blaring]

Danny! We're out of time!

- I can't control it anymore!

- Eagle 1, this is Tower. Stand by.

You lose!

Danny, strap in!

We're going down!

- Eagle 1, you are cleared for emergency landing.

- Officer Fisher!

One last move.

- Remember the vest from the bus?

- [Beeps]

- Knockout.

- [Grunts] No!

Oh, my God!

Oh, my God!

Get in the seat!

I can still put her down.

- Danny, strap in.

- Not in time.

Yes, I can!

- What are you doing?

- We gotta get out of here.

No. What are you do-

No! No!

Do you trust me?

Yes.

Come on.

- You land it!

- [Groans]

B*tch.

[Gasping]

[Laughing]

I never doubted you.

- That makes one of us.

- [Chuckles]

- [Groans]

- What hurts?

Everything.

[Groans]

[Laughing]

- ## [Background: Soul]

- Oh!

[Man]

#Yeah, and I'll tell you why, baby #

- # My love is growin'#

- # My love is growin'#

## [Continues]

Helicopter explosion.

No big deal.

## [Continues, Indistinct]

- [Groans]

- Let's get you home.

[Sirens Wailing In Distance]

About the house.

## [Rock]

[Man]

#Again I'm dreamin' of you #

# I pull you close

to feel you breathe #

# And your laughter

echoes in my head #

# When I wake

it fades to silence #

# There's a thousand miles

between us #

# And a thousand days #

# But I can feel you #

# I can still feel you #

# Against my skin #

# Still you keep me warm #

# 'Cause I can feel you #

# I can still feel you #

# Against my skin ##
