(GROANING)

Come on!

You gotta be

f***ing kidding me!

(YELLING IN RUSSIAN)

What?

(CONTINUES YELLING IN RUSSIAN)

Do you think I understand

a word you're saying?

Jesus Christ.

It's okay, I'm fine, thanks.

Oh, man, you're

driving like my grandma!

When I say drive, I mean fly!

Oh, yeah!

Get out of the way!

Oh, God.

Jesus!

Oh, for the love of...

(WOMAN SCREAMS)

Sorry, ma'am!

(HORNS BLARE)

Sorry!

(LAUGHING)

Did you see this guy?

Oh, man!

Knock knock.

Guess who!

I've had enough of this sh*t.

Oh, man, hey!

McCLANE:
Is that it?

Is that your best shot?

(INAUDIBLE)

Damn you, John.

Damn you!

(MCCLANE COUGHING)

(CHATTERING IN RUSSIAN)

(SIREN WAILING)

(PEOPLE SCREAMING)

Hey! Up here!

Shoot up here!

John! Get in!

Get in before I change my mind.

Jesus!

Take your time.

Jack,

what the f*** was that, huh?

Shut up.

Shut up, John.

I swear to God, I will put

a bullet in you this time.

Who do you think

you're talking to?

The last person I want to see.

Well, maybe you missed

the whole part back there

where I saved you

and Papa Geppetto here

from a whole bunch

of Russian bad guys.

You saved? You saved?

That's right, saved.

(SPEAKING RUSSIAN)

Shut up.

Shut up.

You're a world class screw-up,

you know that, John?

I'm a screw-up?

I'm a screw-up?

I'm still your father.

Yeah,

nothing I can do about that.

What a joke.

Just shut up. Try not to

touch anything, all right?

You've done

enough goddamn damage.

The appointment is next week...

We will begin immediately.

Excuse me, sir. Komarov has escaped.

I'll call you back. There is a problem with Komarov.

What happened?

Some sort of attack on the courthouse.

Who took him?

They don't know yet.

What do you mean you don't know?

Eh...

...well it's confusing...

Eyewitnesses say they saw Komarov...

...with an American.

What American?

John McClane.

Let's go.

After you.

Yeah, I got him.

Okay, I'm on it.

Look, Mike, we had an unexpected delay.

I'm sorry.

I understand.

This is the last guy on earth

I expected to see.

Listen to me, Yuri, you have

half of Moscow looking for you.

I need you to get dressed.

Why am I here?

Please put on these clothes.

Trust me.

This is the key to your cuffs.

Take these.

Oh, my Jesus.

Are you okay?

What?

Do you have

the file on Chagarin?

This is what you

been doing, Jack?

Spy sh*t?

This is it?

(LAUGHING)

You're a spy? Oh, my God.

The 007 of Plainfield,

New Jersey.

Very nice.

McClane, shut up.

Take it easy, Oddjob.

I'm on vacation.

Your mom will be pleased.

We thought you were

doing drugs or something.

Mr. Komarov.

Or selling drugs,

but that was me, really.

Do you have

the file on Chagarin?

Yes, or no?

It's very simple, Yuri.

You give me the file,

and I get you out of Russia.

And you're a free man.

What do you say?

It's not about me.

I don't care about my life.

Well, that's the deal.

It's the only deal.

Come on.

Come on, Yuri. Help yourself.

What's it gonna be?

Yes or no?

The clock is ticking, Yuri.

Come on.

You will get me out of here?

Only the three of you?

Whoa, Nijinsky.

I'm not in the gang.

I just got off the plane.

I'm still jet-lagged.

I'm not involved in this.

Huh, Jack?

Only if I can take

my daughter with me.

Chagarin's people

will kill her.

Fine. Make it quick.

Ah.

Where's the file?

It's in a vault in Prypiat, but

the key is here in Moscow.

At Hotel Ukraina.

Sh*t.

Make your call. We're going

to the Ukraina, let's go.

(LINE RINGING)

It's papa...

(DAUGHTER SPEAKING RUSSIAN)

I'm fine, Sunshine...

...we'll talk later.

Listen.

I'll be waiting for you

where your mother and I shared our first dance.

Now.

Hurry! Hurry! You understand?

(ENDS CALL)

Mike, listen, I'm sorry

about this morning, man.

It's fine.

Okay, let's go.

Contact!

Down! Get down!

Go! Get down! Go, go, go!

(YELLING IN RUSSIAN)

JACK:
John, cover!

Come on, buddy!

Go! Go!

(BEEPING)

That's right, jerk-off!

All right, let's move, John!

I'm on f***ing vacation!

Come on, time to hustle.

Watch your head.

McClane, move it.

8,000 f***ing miles for this?

Get down, Yuri. Stay low!

Head down.

Come on. Go, go!

(RAPID GUNFIRE)

Safe house, my ass.

He knows how old we are, no?

Come on.

Here, here, here.

Sit down.

You're all right.

Let me look at you.

(GRUNTING) It's all right.

You're fine.

What are you doing?

Jack.

Calm down, Yuri, okay?

You're gonna be just fine.

Here, put this on, stay warm.

What was that, John? Five minutes?

Five minutes?

You blew a three-year op

in five minutes!

You're welcome!

What do you want me to do?

Unbelievable.

I'm so f***ing burned. I got no

friends in this town anymore.

What about your people at Langley?

Just give them a call.

Give me your phone.

(PHONE SHATTERS)

It's a two-year contract

on that phone.

What are you carrying?

Give me that.

All right.

You got any cash on you?

Some American money.

What are you talking about?

We need to keep on moving.

We have to get this guy to a doctor.

To medical attention, Jack.

The mission stands.

Your mission is

bleeding out over there.

The mission continues.

We go to the hotel.

Come on, let's move.

Let's move.

This is nuts.

What, are you going to go out

and kill somebody else now?

Why all this trouble

for just one guy?

He's a political prisoner.

Not that you care, John,

but it's a matter of national

security, all right?

He's got the goods to stop Viktor

Chagarin, and we need that to happen.

Well, great, Jack.

Let's drop him off at the

Embassy, and we can go home.

Are you kidding me? After what

happened at the safe house?

Look, it doesn't work

like that, all right?

It's a huge diplomatic mess,

and I'm a burnable asset.

So, I now need that file

to un-f*** this mission.

Any more questions?

Yeah, just one.

How come you never called

and told me where you were?

Like you'd give a sh*t.

Sh*t.

Well, we're not going in the front door.

All right, hold up, hold up.

Okay, Yuri, listen to me, all right?

We're almost done.

As soon as we get that key,

we're gonna grab the file,

get you and your daughter

out of Russia, all right?

All right.

Listen to me, you're doing good.

All right?

I need you to hang here a second.

Keep an eye on him, John.

Hey, hey.

What is it with all this "John" sh*t?

Whatever happened to "Dad?"

Good question.

In Russia, we have

word for men like him.

"Krutoi."

It means "tough,"

"hard."

In America, it means

"juvenile delinquent."

Is he your only child?

No. I got a daughter, too.

You?

I have only my Solnyschka.

When she was little,

I was working all the time.

I believed work was

all that mattered.

I screwed my

kid's life up, too.

You work all the time

around the clock most of the

time, when you're a cop.

I just thought that working all the

time was a good thing, you know?

I didn't help him at all.

It's never too late,

I hope.

Okay, let's go.

All right, Yuri, which part of

the building is the ballroom in?
