Assault on Precinct 13 Page #4

Nobody gonna wish me luck?

-Good luck.

-Good luck.

Look at that. Two cops wishing me luck.

I'm doomed.

Five feet down to the sewer,

Right.

What I wanna know is

what the hell is the difference between this

-and what I was gonna do 10 minutes ago?

-No difference.

But you stopped me then. Why not now?

One thing, when you get out of here,

make sure you call the cops

before you take off for the border, huh?

Now, what makes you think I'd do that?

I'll see you, Wilson.

That basement's not a bad place to be

if they come at us again.

The only way in is down

that long, narrow hallway.

We might be able to hold them back

for a couple of minutes.

We'd be trapped down there.

But we're not gonna last up here

with only eight shots between us.

The upstairs is out. Wide open up there.

-Someone will come.

-A man with faith, a rare quality.

What about you?

I've never had too much faith

in anyone coming to my rescue.

Maybe you've been associating

with the wrong people.

-I've been with policemen for five years.

-That's enough to grow hair on a rock.

-And you?

-I believe in one man.

Hey! He's there!

It's still clear. Move.

What the hell is he waiting for?

He's clear in front.

Move, damn it!

He's out.

Go, you son of a b*tch.

They've seen him.

Save it for us.

He made it. He made it!

-Go, go.

-Hit it, hit it!

He's gonna make it.

Maybe it was just a window breaking.

Sons of b*tches.

Too bad, Wells.

He never got to see the border.

We'd better get down in that basement.

Look, we're out of time, out of ammunition.

Just like Wells, we're out of luck.

Take a look.

Let's go.

We can make one last stand.

Take that sign,

put it down the end of the hallway.

It'll help us stand them off.

-What do we use to hold them back with?

-Anything we can find.

-You still have the gun?

-Two shots. Do I save it for the two of us?

You save them for the first two a**holes

who come through that vent.

They're bound to have seen Wells

come up out of the manhole.

What do I use on the rest of them

that come climbing through?

Then you'll have to wing it.

None of us know who he is,

what happened to him, or what he's done.

He could be anybody or anything.

-I'm curious about one thing.

-Just one?

No, there are other things, but at

the moment this one interests me the most.

-What's that?

-Why didn't you climb through that vent

and take off down the sewer

in the other direction?

There are two things

a man should never run from,

even if they cost him his life.

One is a man who's helpless

and can't run with you.

What's the other?

Come here a minute, Wilson.

The very least of our problems

is we've run out of time.

It's an old story with me.

I was born out of time.

Acetylene tank, magnesium flares.

We strap the flares onto the tank

then tie them both up on that pipe.

I stand in the doorway with my rifle.

I shoot the flares, they ignite the tank.

We blow the hell out of

everybody in this hallway!

And what's gonna keep it

from blowing the hell out of us?

You hold up that sign

in front of the door for cover.

-Can you hit it from there?

-I got three shots. That's enough.

-Can't argue with a confident man.

-Let's go.

This is Unit Seven. We've just checked

the fire lane between Gramercy and Imperial.

Dark, quiet and deserted.

Request instructions, over.

What are those cars doing over there?

There's supposed to be

a few people on duty.

They've been moving things out of there

for the past couple of weeks.

They're probably between here

and the new station.

We're wasting time here.

I don't know.

There's something funny back there.

One-X-Five,

we have continued reports

of gunfire between Ninth and Warren.

How come we don't hear a goddamn thing?

Most reports are from residents

who are unable to pinpoint

the location of the gunfire.

The telephone repair vehicle

is officially reported lost.

We are sending four backup units in

to assist you.

This is Unit Seven.

Still nothing unusual to report.

We cannot locate the source of the gunfire.

Repeat request for immediate

helicopter surveillance. Over.

One-X-Five,

as soon as a helicopter is available,

we will send it in.

This is Unit Seven, 10-4.

There's something wrong here somewhere.

Would you listen to that?

It's starting to rain. Just what we need.

There's something funny

about that old station back there.

Hey, that's not rain. What the hell is that?

Jesus Christ.

This is Unit Seven, emergency

to all precincts and vehicles.

Emergency. Emergency.

Molotov cocktails.

They'll set the goddamn place on fire.

This is it.

Let's go.

-Sorry.

-Kind of pretty.

Can I ask you a question?

Being a cop,

I figured you'd get around to it eventually.

How did you come to be

named Napoleon Wilson?

I'll tell you sometime.

-When will you tell me?

-Maybe in a minute or two.

Can't argue with a confident man!

Anybody got a smoke?

We have a stretcher for you, miss.

Miss.

Get away from him!

It would be a privilege

if you'd walk outside with me.

I know it would.

You're pretty fancy, Wilson.
