Death Train Page #4

on the hijacker's weapon.- And?

It was purchased on a standing

Russian military account.

Russian? What branch?

Spetsnaz. No names

on the requisition.

See if they'll tell you who's

authorized to use that account.

Russian.

What's it like on the train?

Always two men with guns

watching the bomb.

They never fed us.

We'll get you some grub soon.

Listen, tell me something...

Did anybody tinker with it?

Tinker?

No, the leader

only studied the outside.

There's a locked

telephone keypad.

Detonation code

could be entered right there.

Maybe it's a phone.

Somebody could call it,

like a fax machine.

So, Tierney wouldn't blow

himself up, but someone else would?

No, no, he wouldn't let that happen.

No, Mike, Tierney doesn't

have a clue. He doesn't know.

So despite valiant efforts,

Freight 4402 continues south

with its cargo of hostages.

Brian Poole, BBC, Milan.

Hijacked train 4402 is proving to be

a law enforcement nightmare.

Repeated attempts to overpower or

outsmart the hijackers have failed,

leaving a trail of bodies

along the tracks...

I got an inventory of materials

unaccounted for from the plant.

How good

a bomb builder are you?

You tell me.

A sloppy scientist would use that

much plutonium to make one bomb.

Or he could be

a craftsman and make two.

The latest reports put the train

somewhere in the Alps,

near the Italian border.

Sigi.- Oh, thanks.

There's a great deal of poetry

and fine sentiment in a cup of tea.

I hope there's also a lot of caffeine.

Mr. Philpott, I've got Graham.

Yeah, Philpott.

You paged, "Bwana"?

You alone?- More or less.

Your team's chowin' down.

Hey, Michael, it's your team, too.

The hijackers' weapons search

seems to have paid off.

But there may be a problem

with at least one of the Russians.

No kidding... in my team?

All right, all right.

I think this whole hijacking

is being financed out of Moscow.

Brings new meaning to the term

"Russian roulette," eh?

Do you want me to split them up?

No.

I'll keep a close watch.

All right. Good luck.

Thanks.

Well?

It's good.

What did Philpott say?

We tail the train.-That's all?

That and a pat on the butt.

Can't you find a way to just trust me?

I don't know what you're

talking about, sweetheart.

The name's Sabrina.

What are you holding back, Mike?

Not a thing.

I tell it like it is, and it's like this...

I'm runnin' this field operation.

Would you care to sit down?

No... sir.

Okay.

You going to just stand there?

Hey, hey, hey, speak English.

Porco? What's that, pork?

Pig?

Dispatch!

Dispatch!

This is dispatch.

Route me to Trieste, all right?

Arrange for a doctor with supplies.

Mr.Tierney,

where do you want him?

I'll let you know.

Global News Network, Munich.

International Affairs Producer.

International, Halloran.

I want you to know that

they have been hiding the facts.

Freight 4402 is carrying a nuclear

bomb.

Who is this?

I'll call again.

You're not going to believe this. Guys?

Cream, no sugar.

Mmm. Mm-hmm.

Philpott.- Malcolm.

Sir.-C.W., hang on.

It's GNN... they want to know

if there's a bomb on the train.

Just cover it up.

Yes, C.W., sorry.

Leitzig's wavering... I asked him

about the possibility of two bombs.

I'm playing hardball.

It could backfire.

Yeah.

Hey!

Help! Help!

Get a doctor! Now!

Don't you die, you son of a...

Damn!

Help's comin', Franz.

There is no such number.

Please consult

your international operator.

Oh, man.

Benin gave us a bogus number.

I can't even call out.

He's left us to die.

You're not going to die.

No! Huh-uh! No!

He's too young! Get me an old guy,

a real old guy. I want a doctor.

Come on.

So much for an agent on board.

You make me wait five minutes,

and I kill this man.

What are your demands?

Cooperation!

Is there a nuclear bomb

on the train?

Where's the goddamn doctor?

Is there a bomb?

Would you like to make

a statement?

Go on.

What group do you represent?

When will you release the hostages?

Is it true you are Red Brigade?

Aren't you American?

Stop! Stop right there.

Open your coat.

All right.

Do you have a nuc...

As the siege of hijacked

German train 4402 continues,

the question of how to deal

with an increasingly desperate

situation remains unanswered.

The identity of the hijackers

is unclear, but reports confirm

at least one of the killers

is an American.

One German hostage

has managed to escape...

Karl, why the hell did you do this?

Benin promised unlimited money

if I made him a bomb.

It was an excuse,

and I used it as an excuse,

just to see if I could do it.

But then, he demanded another

bomb,

and that's when I was irradiated

by his inferior equipment.

Did you finish the second one?

Yes.

Who is this Benin?

General Konstantin Benin.

It was he who sent the killer.

And where is he now?

I don't know, but get him

and I will tell you anything.-Yeah.

What?! No, English! English!

He'll die unless he gets full

medical care.

Alex, I want... I want off.

No. No, no, stay. I need you.

No, not if I won't drive.

Mr. Tierney?- Patch him up!

What?!

I've just talked to my people,

and we can offer you a deal.

Yeah, right.- Now listen...

You're about to cross into Slovenia,

and you haven't committed

any crimes there.

So just give up,

and they will let you walk.

Thank you so much for your concern,

Malcolm, but I don't think so.

But really, thank you for offering.

Mr.Tierney, you stay on that train,

you're a dead man.

So how'd you get to be

such a crackerjack shot?

Do you really care?

I bet you were army.

Biathlon... skiing and shooting...

For the US Olympic team.

We get a medal?- Bronze.

Oooh-eee. You going again?

No, I have another career now.

Uh-huh, what's that?

Sergei, are Russian men

as narrow, rude and charmless

as our redneck

gentleman farmer here?

Redneck? What is redneck?

Hey, I was only getting some

background information on you.

If I'd asked him the same questions,

would have he got into such a tizzy?

I know that Philpott thinks you're

great, but I can't imagine why.

Well, Sabrina,

that's why you ain't boss.

Hey, come on, I'm only kidding.

Mike, I saved your ass in that boxcar.

That you did.

But I bet before this gig's over,

I repay the compliment.

God, you are so arrogant.

Hey, remember...

Only the young die good.

Philpott.

Leitzig's confirmed it.

He made two bombs, both

for a General Konstantin Benin.

Good. Good work, Doctor.

Thank you.

Dispatch, I want Belgrade.

Switching to Belgrade.

That routes you

through Slovenia.

Good news, bad news.

We're all on headsets, sir.

There are two devices... two.

We don't know where the second one

is. It's probably not on the train.

Any change in plans?

I think that Tierney

is considering our deal.

Now keep following the train,

but give him room.

Philpott out.

Sir... Yolanda on the coded phone.

Ms. Sanchez.

Every Russian officer authorized

to use that weapons account
