Desperate Hours Page #6

The guy is a f***ing maniac.

He's not afraid to die.

Man:
Maddox is right,

it's only a matter of time

before we go tactical

on this shithead.

Listen closely

while I pull rank on you.

We're doing it my way.

We will discuss it

no more forever.

( Slams )

Get it off her.

He'll search her.

- He trusts me.

- Get it off.

Remember now, all you have to do

is to get him to leave.

Once you're well away from here,

stop at some restroom down the road.

- We'll take it from there.

- I understand.

If you don't, you know what's

gonna happen to you, don't you?

I told you, I want to live.

- ( Motor roars )

- My knees are shaking.

I can hear your knees.

You remember...

you do this, no charges

will be brought against you.

You can't turn your back now.

If you change your mind now,

we're going to take casualties.

Nancy:

I know. I know!

You think she's gonna think straight

when she's face-to-face with Bosworth?

She's got her brains

between her legs.

Now I could be inside

that house in one minute.

Flash-bangs at the door...

we make a three-point entry,

- it's all over.

- We're giving that family a chance.

The way they've played along,

maybe they don't have any chance coming.

You know, Maddox, I've begun to...

you just don't give a damn, do you?

If it goes sideways,

we'll pull out our guns

and waste

the whole neighborhood!

( Thunder rumbles )

Don't forget to smile

when you see him.

He... he might want me to...

Well, smile

when you do that, too.

Oh, God. I can't.

You can.

( Whimpers )

I-I'm not ready to die.

Then you make sure

you do just what I told you.

W-what happens

when we come outside?

What if... what if he realizes

what I'm doing to him?

L... l want a gun,

or I won't go in! I won't!

( Motor roars )

I just put my ass on the line.

Now, you get outta here.

My earrings are killing me.

I'm in a real bad mood.

You be careful, honey.

( Motors roaring )

I'm passing command to you.

You f*** this up,

you're gonna leave your badge and

your credentials in a manila envelope

'cause I don't wanna see you

when I get back.

I'm going to the forward

observation point.

( Motors roaring )

( radios crackling )

( safety brake clicking )

Man:

Subject is on the scene.

( Door knocker rapping )

( gun hammer clicks )

( door slams )

I know that they tried to

get you to betray me.

( Nancy grunting )

Let me introduce you

to the Cornells.

I got this wacko in my sights.

I think I can take him.

That's Zack and May and Nora.

This is the greatest woman

in the world.

Nora:
My God, what are you doing?

You must be insane!

- You shut up!

- Tim:
Zack, go upstairs now.

May:
Come with me.

I'm going to tell you a story.

Michael:
Nancy, I have something

that I want to I want to...

I want to give to you.

It's gonna keep us together

for the rest of our lives.

- Nancy:
I can't... I can't take it.

- This used to be Nora's.

- What's going on?

- Follow the line and turn around.

Just tell me what's going on.

I gotta get through to see somebody.

We got a problem with the traffic.

Now move it!

Hey...!

Son of a b*tch!

( Rock music blaring )

Man on radio:
Jesus Christ,

we've got company.

Man:

Goddamn son of a b*tch.

It's too late.

See what he does.

- Kyle:
May!

- Who's that?

- ( Knock on door )

- May's boyfriend. May's boyfriend.

- ( Knock on door )

- Come on, May, open up!

Hi, Kyle.

How you doing, kid?

Kyle:
I'm sorry to stop by so late,

but, uh...

- Tim:
What is it?

- May and I had a fight, and, uh...

well, if she could go for a ride with me

I'd really appreciate it.

Tim:
Well, she may

still be angry, Kyle.

I'll ask her.

Are these for her?

- Yeah. I'll wait for her here.

- Okay, you bet.

( Slams )

He wants to take May for a ride,

and he won't leave without her.

Wally:
That's one less we got

to worry about.

- Well, then you call her.

- May!

May, come down, please.

( Rapid footsteps )

May?

Kyle's outside.

He wants to

make it up with you.

Now you have to go.

Now.

Go on with him.

I'm not leaving

unless my mom stays.

- Michael:
Nora's coming with me.

- Tim:
What for?

Michael:
So you don't call the cops

on us when we leave.

Bosworth, you're so close.

Don't blow it.

If she doesn't go,

Kyle will make a scene. I know it.

Let her go, Mike. Please.

You and I have a date

with destiny, Tim.

You'll be coming with me

after all.

I can trust Nora

more than I can trust you.

Daddy, what about you?

We're gonna win

if you do as he says.

( Sobbing )

But I don't wanna, Daddy.

I love you.

Go.

- Go.

- Okay. Okay.

Michael:

You go with your boyfriend, May.

You go far away.

Otherwise,

I'm gonna kill your daddy.

( Faintly )

Okay. Okay.

- Kyle:
Are you okay?

- I'm fine.

I don't know what's going on,

but let's get out of here.

( Engine roars )

All right, you prove it.

You get the car.

( Grunts ) Oh...!

( Hammer clicks )

Mr. Cornell?

I'm Special Agent

Brenda Chandler, FBI.

We're here to help you.

No, you can't do that.

You'll get my family killed.

We're gonna let them drive away.

No, I'm going with them...

Bosworth and his brother and the girl.

- You're hurt!

- No, I'm not.

I'm okay.

- Tim:
Eh...?

- Don't take long in there.

He's going to go suicidal

any minute now.

Why are you doing that?

Just kind of a wild idea.

You'll just have to trust me.

Mr. Cornell!

If we have to go tactical,

we're gonna take casualties.

Well, that's just one more chance

I'm going to have to take, isn't it?

- How come I didn't hear the car start?

- I got no key.

Put your arms up.

What is this? Huh?

What's this?

Huh?

What the f*** is this?

Tim:

I found it on the seat of my car.

I was... I'm scared.

All right.

You get going now.

I want to say goodbye to Zack.

Daddy! Daddy, Daddy, Daddy,

there's people with guns outside.

I saw them. I'm scared...

Shh, shh, shh.

You must be quiet.

Listen to me. You've gotta hear this.

You've got to speak quietly.

Okay, okay. Okay.

Daddy, are they going to shoot us?

No, no, they're here to help us.

Now, I know you're scared.

But we mustn't let

the men downstairs know.

Okay, I'll be back soon.

- Tim?

- What?

- Tim...?

- What?

There are so many things

I want to tell you.

And I don't have time

to tell you.

I know. Me, too.

I'll be right back.

This place is a tomb.

You two get out first.

Get in the back.

Nancy, baby, I want you to start

the engine, don't turn on the lights.

- Sh*t.

- ( Weapon clicks )

- Nancy, what's wrong?!

- No!

Hold it! Hold...

( screams )

Hold it, Bos...

( grunts )

- Where you hit?

- Ln the ego! Get me a bullhorn!

( Gunfire crackling )

( screams )

Mommy,

what if they shoot Daddy?

- They won't.

- Michael:
You betrayed me!

Nancy:
Michael, no!

Michael, please! No!

Michael:

I did all of this for you!

You shut up!

Shut up! This ain't over.

( Telephone ringing )

You watch him!

( Telephone ringing )

This is

Michael Bosworth speaking!

So before you start

with your bullshit
