Death Train Page #5

---

checked out... except one.

Now let me guess...

General Konstantin Benin.

Right.- Where's Benin now?

Nobody knows, not even the Russians.

Thank you, Ms. Sanchez.

That's it.

Men's room.

The death train continues

its mysterious path...

Mmm, what's on your mind?

We were wondering,

does Tierney know

that the gadget might have

a remote detonator?

Well, it's worth tossing around.

With all the bashing

he's been taking,

he must be pretty well roasted by now.

All right, well, you keep

playing the mind games

and we'll tail him through Slovenia.

Will do.- Uh-huh.

Public Affairs.

It's Sabrina. Run this number.

It's from a payphone in Zagreb.

Got it.

Find out the last number called...

Rodenko was the one who made it.

A private call?-Yes.

I got to go, okay? Thanks, bye.

Freight 4402 remains

somewhat of a mystery.

Thinking of quitting?

No, I'm on course.

Rodenko tells me you're

negotiating with the police.

F*** you, you commie sack of sh*t.

You're dumpin' out on me.

I can't even call you.

What's your phone number?

That's for security. Now

you stay loyal, you understand?

What's your goddamn

phone number?

Hey, drive this thing! Drive it!

- What?!

- Mr.Tierney...

Screw you.

I was just wondering,

did you know that your bomb

could be detonated by remote?

Just a phone call.

If we knew who was behind this,

we could block any incoming call.

But I'd like to bet that you can't

take that bomb off the hook.

Halloran, please.

Halloran.

The bomb... it is a 3-kilogram

plutonium construction.

The plutonium was stolen from

the Norton nuclear power plant

by Dr. Karl Leitzig,

who also built the bomb.

It is on Freight 4402.

I will reveal its destination

in due course.

Hey, who is this?

Are the facts clear?

Yeah, I got 'em.

Hey, Captain Crunch, take us closer.

What are you doing?- Evaluating.

We will all die sometime.

Oh, Karl, Karl... give me a break.

We're trying to save lives here.

Very well.

The most difficult thing

is the nuclear trigger.

My hardest task was to make sure

that they produce an absolutely

symmetrical detonation.

General Benin got the triggers.

They were 1990s

Soviet designs, yeah?

And that keypad...

Enters the detonation code.

And after one minute... poof.

It is irreversible.

Once the bomb starts,

only I can stop it.

So how do you disable

those triggers?

Dr. Whitlock,

I must save something...

Otherwise you will

just leave me to die.

A bomb on the train? GNN's

Roger Flint reports from Italy.

Unconfirmed reports have

suddenly escalated the situation

on hijacked Freight 4402,

now in Slovenia.

GNN believes there is a homemade

nuclear bomb on board the train.

All right, no one's screwing with us.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

The actual construction

of the bomb seems

to have been carried out

somewhere in Germany.

Well, that changes the game.

Sir, they've pinpointed the number

of the payphone call

Sabrina sent in... Munich.

Rodenko called Munich?-Yeah.

It's a cellular listed

to Blumen aus Deutschland.

No exact address.

Tell the Munich police.

How long are we going

to follow this maniac?

Until we're ordered otherwise.

I don't think Sir Philpott

is capable of making a decision.

But you are?

UNACO chopper, Philpott here.

People, how are we holding up?

Oh, just peachy.

Sir, out in the field it is apparent

we need to make

a more aggressive stance.

Oh, Ms. Carver, that call

you made proved to be unfriendly.

Got it.

Good hunting. Philpott out.

Kolchinsky...

land us on the roof

of the last car... now!

They'll kill us, Rodenko!

They won't kill me.

Do it!

- No! No!

- Next time I'll kill you!

Nail him!

Okay.

Kolchinsky. Kolchinsky!

He's unconscious.- Holy sh*t!

Now what? Can you fly

one of these things, too?

That one.-What, this one?

Oh God, I guess not.

Come on, Crunch, come on!

Come on, Crunch, wake up!

Mike! Pedals, Mike!

I'm pedaling, Crunch, I'm pedaling.

Crunch, come on, man.

Okay, you're okay.

Stay with me. Stay with me.

Crunch, come on! Come on.

You're okay! You're okay.

You got it?-You bet.

This is to record my intentions,

should I fail or should I die.

My name is General Konstantin Benin

of the former Soviet Union.

The hijacking of Freight 4402

was my doing.

The building of a nuclear bomb

was my plan.

It was not my intention to arm Iraq.

It was my intention

to revive the Soviet Union.

When the last coup failed, nerve failed.

But when the world hears

that a nuclear bomb is

in the hands of Iraq fanatics,

then the Russian army

will be forced to invade

to recover the bomb

for Russian security.

And then, with our army mobilized,

our nerve will not fail

and there will be a new union...

A military union.

What are they doing?

Don't you know I've got the bomb?

We've got the bomb.

I know the code.

I can blow us all to hell.

You want proof?

I can blow us all to hell!

Alex, they believe you!

They damn sure will.

Hey, Philpott.

Dispatch.

This is Philpott.

What about my offer?

No, listen, this is my demand.

I want everybody on Earth to know

that I've got this bomb,

so here's what you're going to do...

You get GNN.

I want GNN on this train,

and we'll show the world

that I'm not bluffing.

Okay?

GNN? You mean a reporter?

Yeah... that curly-haired dude,

that cocky guy, whats-his-name?

By the awesome destructive

power of nuclear weapons.

Roger Flint?- Roger Flint, right.

I want Roger Flint on the train.

I'll pick him up in Belgrade.

Roger Flint.

No, he never saw me.

First I had on the gas mask,

and then in the tunnel

it was too dark.

All right. GNN's Roger Flint

has agreed to do it

as long as he gets an exclusive.

And so, Ms. Carver, you are

to be his camerama... person.

Philpott out.

Ms. Yamamuro, what's the word

on Benin's phone line?

Munich police have a good lead.

We need more than that.

You know about video cameras?

How hard could it be?

Hi. You Pierre?- Ah.

Mike Graham. This thing

still gonna take pictures?

Certainly. You get one shot.

It's for me.

Just one?

Best we can do if you want video.

Stealth video... yeah.

As I wait for the approaching train,

I can say that I have never

covered a story like this.

Yugoslav army troops stand ready

should the hijackers

provoke an armed response.

Though I've been assured that

due to the delicate nature of...

Jeez, what did you step in,

Crunch?

I hear it.

Just quit flickin'

your foot around, all right?

She'll be comin'

around the mountain

She'll be comin' around

the mountain, when she comes...

Now release the vacuum advance

in number two cylinder.

Right, I got it.

He's coming in too fast.

Here it comes.

Freight 4402, approaching us now

at Belgrade Station.

It appears to be having

difficulty stopping.

Brake. Brake harder.

Yeah, I can drive this thing.

The hijackers are motioning us

toward the locomotive.

I can see Dr. Serafal Menigen

held at gunpoint by Alex Tierney.

I recognize you.- I'm Roger Flint.
