Die Hard: With A Vengeance Page #9

Synopsis: John McClane is now almost a full-blown alcoholic and is suspended from the NYPD. But when a bomb goes off in the Bonwit Teller Department Store the police go insane trying to figure out what's going on. Soon, a man named Simon calls and asks for McClane. Simon tells Inspector Walter Cobb that McClane is going to play a game called "Simon Says". He says that McClane is going to do the tasks he assigns him. If not, he'll set off another bomb. With the help of a Harlem electrician, John McClane must race all over New York trying to figure out the frustrating puzzles that the crafty terrorist gives him. But when a bomb goes off in a subway station right by the Federal Reserve (the biggest gold storage in the world) things start to get heated.

Oh, my God!

Get them out of there!

The rooms are locked.

Out of my way!

Hey!

Any one marked "4."

What's going on, Walter?

We still have kids

in the building.

I'm staying.

No, Charlie.

Get out of there.

Ever see that show

The Addams Family?

They got a motherf***er

on there called Lurch.

You don't think I'm going to let you

get to that gun?

Oh.

F***!

Four... four...

Get out of the way!

Where are they, Walter?

Still in.

No guts...

no glory.

We can jump

to the next building!

Sh*t!

O.K.

O.K. Come on.

Come on.

Come on,

get them up here.

Come on. Come on.

Mayday! Mayday!

Bridgeport Coast Guard!

Coast Guard, come in.

Come on, kids!

Sh*t! It's too far!

No guts, no glory.

It's a big f***ing white boat.

Please stay

on the line.

Pancake syrup?

Stupid...

stupid...

Hello,John McClane.

There was never

any bomb in the school.

Of course not.

I'm a soldier,

not a monster,

even though I sometimes

work for monsters.

No.

The real bomb

is on this ship.

Coast Guard.

I was telling them

where the boat was.

Game over, huh?

Not quite over.

Bridgeport Coast Guard,

come in, please.

They put you on hold?

She told me

to stay on the line.

Oh, God,

I love this country.

You know,

your brother was an a**hole.

He really

was an a**hole.

He was an a**hole.

You got his number.

Yeah, O.K.

Forgive me.

Would you help

Mr. McClane below?

Ohh.

Careful now.

Now, do you have

the communique?

Bridgeport radio.

Come in, please,

Bridgeport.

Coast Guard.

Oh, you're there, dear.

Yes, we're here.

Will you be able

to record a message?

Yes.

Then please begin now.

This is a communiqu

from the CRF.

For too long,

the West has conspired

to steal the wealth

of the world,

consigning the balance of humanity

to economic starvation.

Today, we will level

the playing field.

In minutes, the contents

of the federal reserve bank-

the gold your economies

are built on-

will be redistributed

by explosive

Across the bottom

of the Long Island Sound.

If you are not

in gridlock,

come and watch.

You going

to blow it all up?

That's the idea.

Some gentlemen

in the Middle East

think they'll make

lots of money.

See the men

safely off the ship,

and I'll see you

on the launch.

What's this got to do

with killing McClane?

Life has its little bonuses.

Didn't you say you didn't

even like your brother?

There's a difference

between not liking one's brother

and not caring when

some dumb Irish flatfoot

drops him out a window.

I didn't even know

that motherf***er.

I never invited you

aboard this ship.

No riddle's going to stop

this motherf***er?

No code, no riddle,

no fancy countdown.

Hey, fuckhead.

Yeah, you-fuckhead.

Just one thing

I got to know-

you got any aspirins?

I've had a bad

f***ing headache

all day long.

Must be your lucky day.

Keep the bottle.

Right.

Where is the gold?

He's betrayed us.

The containers

are filled with that...

If I hadn't saved

your f***ing ass,

I wouldn't be here about to blow up

with $100 billion.

You're only going

to blow up with me.

There's no gold

on this boat.

How do you know?

I know the family.

Only thing better than blowing up

$100 billion

is making people

think you did.

Well, where is it?

He must have

switched it somewhere.

That supposed to make me

feel better?

You're wrong.

You're not

going to die.

You know some cop trick

about handcuffs to get us out?

Yeah. Use a key.

You know how

to pick this lock?

Is this some

black sh*t again?

Are you a f***ing locksmith

or not?

I need something

to do it with.

How about a splinter

of that cable?

Hold on.

What the f***

are you doing?

Uh!

F***! Sh*t!

How's that?

that big enough?

Yeah. That might work.

I'm going to drop it

in your hand.

Cup your hand.

Don't drop

this motherf***er.

Get it in the right.

You ready?

Yeah!

Get it?

Move your hands.

O.K.

Damn, McClane,

I was just starting

to like you.

Don't. I'm an a**hole.

What are you

talking about?

I lied to you.

About what?

Remember I said Weiss

found that bomb up in Harlem?

They found it

down in Chinatown.

That's low even for a white

motherf***er like you.

What the f*** was that?

I don't know.

Look, it was the only way

to get you to come with me.

You got a wife?

I'm surprised anybody

could stay with you

long enough to be married.

She didn't stick around.

We're sort of separated.

She was in L.A.,

I was in New York,

we had a fight

on the phone,

she hung up,

I didn't call her back.

How long ago was that?

About a year ago.

What the f***

you laughing about?

You threw away

your marriage

because you were

too f***ing stupid

to pick up the phone?

You think that's funny?

I bet you blame your wife, too.

My wife is a very stubborn woman.

You better stop

f***ing laughing

and undo these cuffs.

They're almost...

there!

How's that

for concentration?

Oh, sh*t!

I dropped the pin.

Goddammit!

Where'd it go?

Find it!

I don't see it.

What the f*** is that?

I think I made it mad.

Go, McClane,

get the f*** out of here.

Goddammit!

Listen to me!

Just go.

It's hard enough

getting through the day

without your death

on my conscience.

All right. Tools...

Check the engine room.

There's no time!

What the hell's it doing now?

It's mixing.

Sh*t!

What the hell

are you doing?

Lean forward.

Lean forward,

Goddammit!

What-

What the f***

are you doing?

Lean forward.

Oh, no!

Get ready!

F***ing sh*t! Sh*t!

Oh, goddamn!

Goddamn!

Come on!

Come on!

My leg. Ow!

Get up the stairs

Go! Go! Go! Go!

Get up the stairs!

Oh, sh*t!

Damn it!

Let's go!

Let's go!

Run, damn it!

Run!

I am!

Come on!

All right?

Watch, watch, watch!

Let's go!

Aah!

Aah!

How's he doing?

I'm shot

in the leg.

How you think

I'm doing?

He's going

to be just fine.

And you?

Fine.

You get Ricky

out of there?

Yeah, they found him.

You going to be

all right?

Got a bad headache.

Think they're mad at me?

I wouldn't worry about them.

They'll get to you

eventually.

They're busy with this

salvage operation.

No. Dredges!

Dredges!

There's no gold

out there.

What do you mean?

He took it.

He beat me.

He beat all of us.

He wasn't playing

against you.

F*** that, McClane!

You're still alive,

aren't you?

Well, aren't you?

Yeah.

So he lost.

Lambert,

would you give him a quarter?

A**hole.

Yeah, it's collect from John.

Uh, Carmen,just tell them

you'll accept the charges.

Son of a b*tch had aspirin.

Yeah, it's John.

I'm hanging in there.

Holly there?

I'll hold on.

Zeus, hold up!

Hold up!

John?

John?

John? Goddammit!

Yesterday...

Yesterday we were
