Elevator Page #4

---

I don't know, there's something there.

- Are you joking'?

I'm not joking.

There's definitely something there.

Look could be any..

- Or a bomb.

Stop saying that.

- Fire me.

We got to find out.

You are a very impressive

woman, Miss Fouquet.

Stupid.

There is a bomb.

It's nice knowing you all.

- She's got a bomb?

We do not know what it is, sweety.

- It's not a satellite radio.

It's a metal box,

the size of a bar of soap...

It's attached to what looks

like a bicycle cables.

Martha, I'm gonna save my battery power

Just get them to hurry, we need help.

Come help me.

I'll climb up here,

there's gonna be a hatch.

And then what?

There's nobody goes.

It's for f***'s sake, help me.

- This is desperate.

We are trapped here on with a

bomb, all right Mr. Barton?

A bomb. It's all desperate.

Come on.

Do it.

I can't see anything.

Hold me .

- Yea.

It's just f***ing lights.

The only elevator without

an escape hatch in this city?

And then now what?

Anyone have a deck of cards?

Nothing.

Wouldnt do me

much good anyway.

Where we are here?

You shouldn't smoke.

The f*** do you care?

What now, you gonna become

a concerned father?

That's not what I meant.

There's just 9 of us...

You shouldn't smoke.

That just...

Its all we're breathing this air.

What do you say? What she's talking about?

- You can tell it better.

It's not the time, all right?

I'll explain it later.

Perfect time to confess.

- Shut the f*** up.

Who? me?

- It's not the time all right?

I wanna know now.

- I'll explain it later, ok?

Man up Donnie, like when you put

me on your desk, remember that?

I'm so sorry. It was a mistake, alright,

We just spent so much time together.

You weren't home.

It just happened, I'm really sorry.

Is she carrying your child, Don?

Yeah, it's possible.

I don't wanna die.

You're not gonna die, sweety.

No one's gonna die.

They're sending someone to get us out.

- Is that another guarantee, Henry?

You are such an a**hole.

- Yeah takes one with no one

You seems like you're enjoying all this.

- I'm a happy pessimist.

I'd expect the worst and

I'm never disappointed.

How do we know it's not a fake?

Maybe she did it just to scare us.

Why'd hide a fake bomb? The whole

reason have a fake bomb is to show it off

Maybe she's gonna show it at the party later,

Wouldn't that make more sense?

Can't be that easy to get

explosive material you can't just

walk into Wall-Mart and pick it up.

- Yes, it can be bought.

Oh...there, you heard it from the expert.

- Motherf***er !

Stop it.

Just get back!

F*** you!

- Hello.

No, it's okay.

It's just speculation.

No, honey,no I know.

She's alright, she's just..afraid.

Want talk to grandma?

Here.

Hi Grandma.

- Don't worry sweety.

I know. I'm scared.

- Everything's gonna be fine.

I love you.

- I love you too.

No, they'd be here any seconds.

I promise.

I love you.

Everything's going to be fine....ok

We interrupt this program with a special

news. Tonight, at the Barton building...

9 people, including CEO Henry Barton

and his granddaughter...

are trapped in a stuck elevator,

with what appears to be a bomb.

Our Maureen Assana is 1 of the

9 people who trapped.

This is Maureen Assana for WRPGTB in New York.

I'm streaming from an elevator

at the Barton building.

A few minutes ago, Jane Redding,

an investor with Barton...

died of an apparent heart attack.

- No bomb.

She was upset, because an investment

went wrong. You see this...

We have no knowledge about

how much time we have left.

We need you to understand

the gravity of the situation.

The woman's dead. Barton should check.

she's the one who after him anyway.

F*** this, alright let's get the

goddamn doors open alright.

Come on.

- Don, what are you doing?

Only one way out alright?

You have no choice.

Let's get these doors open,

come on !

Pull....

Sh*t, we can't get through of it.

- Somebody help us!

They evacuated the building

They had to.

What if we open it up and throw the bomb out?

- How? How you gonna get it off her?

I don't know alright, What if I climb up

and I hit the bomb on the outside.

I mean, it's a different controller,

maybe its get stuck and it's not moving

They're all in the same circuit.

How do you know, are you f***ing elevator expert?

- I know how things work.

Ok smart ass, give me

your big idea, alright?

Cos I'm not gonna sit around

here and get f***ing blown up

Sweety, you have to be brave, ok?

Don't cry.

Try not to cry, ok?

Try to be brave.

I think we should do it.

What we got to lose?

You guys love pushing buttons.

You know, it's tighting the world works.

- Better than doing nothing.

Been on the phone with these people, ok?

Who knows when they're getting here?

We are on our own.

They have to come and the Bartons

is a big f***ing deal right?

Off course is gonna be on TV, isn't it?

Yes, it is probably already on CNN now.

It's headline news.

You heard her.

She said we're home tonight, ok?

That means 2 things...

That means that the bomb

probably on a timer...

And that means we can not wait !

You guys help me get the door open alright?

Will you guys help me up there?

- Yes

Come on, come on !

Pull!

Pull!

Mohammed, you push me up?

- Yea...oh, sh*t!

What are the buttons?

Here we go.

I think I need someone to

help me with the buttons.

I can't reach it.

Here, use this my beloved.

Go again?

- Yeah, let's do it.

Come on, let's keep

these doors open alright?

Let's go again bro.

Careful, it's dangerous.

Come on, I need you

This is time you'd be the hero.

Let's take a break.

Pull your hand back in.

Good, good I'm closer.

- Madeline next to me.

Help me, God.

- Please help him.

He's gonna be fine.

He's gonna be fine.

I must stop the bleeding.

Easy.

Hold on, hold on.

We're still here.

That was very scary,

but we are all still there.

Henry, it's enough with the buttons.

You've reached your button quota.

You're bound off,

make it a rest.

Keep your hands off me.

Henry, Henry

Madeline company ok?

Sit down next to her.

I got you.

Sit down, sit down.

It's all my fault.

- Watch your head.

It's all my fault...

It'll be okay.
