Law Abiding Citizen Page #7

He tapped into

the prison cams.

Jesus, he's got

cameras everywhere.

Von Clausewitz.

"City Hall Access Card"

"PHILADELPHIA CITY HALL"

He's at City Hall.

Free to go, Sir.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

- Don't worry about it.

Better be safe than

sorry, right?

Get ready to evacuate

the building.

We'll need a tactical unit

and a bomb squad.

Bad idea. Have them

come in soft.

If Shelton spots them or

any of us we're f***ed.

Hey.

Where's the tactical team?

- Coming in soft, no sirens.

Bomb squad?

- You're looking at it.

Great. Okay.

We'll take the north

stairs, you take the west.

Woah, woah, woah.

ID's please.

He's the f***ing DA!

- Good for him. ID's please.

What's going on here tonight?

Judy meeting with

all the press.

What floor?

- 6th floor, Caucus room.

What floor is this?

- That's the 5th floor, Sir.

Directly below the

Caucus room.

If we catch this

motherf***er red handed,

we gotta take him alive.

Where is he?

What the f*** are

we looking for?

Wait, wait wait.

Right there.

Stand back, dont

touch anything.

Wasn't exactly

my first instinct.

It's napalm, basically.

This will take out this

floor and the floor above.

Looks like it's triggered

by this cell phone here.

What, so, an incoming

call arms it?

Yeah. Maybe 30 seconds

until boom time.

Jesus.

- Dunningan, what are you doing?

I'm calling the Mayors security.

- We can't

Clyde is watching. If he sees them

evacuate he will detonate.

We don't tell the Mayor

anything.

So, what do we do?

Wait a second.

We got something.

- He's pulling up.

Thank you for coming in

on short notice.

I have one simple question.

Why is Clyde Shelton

still in my city?

Now I refuse to believe,

that one man

is smarter than homeland

security, the FBI,

the Sheriffs Department,

or Philly PD.

I don't care how we do it,

or what kind of

obscure legal justification

we have to invoke.

I don't care what laws

we have to bend.

I am sure there is a provision

of the homeland security act

that we can activate.

Just get him out of here

by tomorrow.

Clyde.

Nick.

I wasn't expecting company.

Yeah, would've cleaned

up a little.

Never seen anybody

tunnel into prison before

And the solitary confinement

was clever.

Well that's how winners play.

We convince the other guy

he's making all the

right moves.

So did you ever catch

my accomplice?

Yeah, I did. It's the end

of the road for him now.

You played us, Clyde,

you played us real good.

Thank you. Yup.

Im glad you finally get

to appreciate

some of the effort I put

into all of this.

Well, you set out to

make a point, Clyde.

You made it.

- No, people still don't get it.

They dont appreciate what

I'm trying to say, Nick, but...

they will. Soon enough.

A man I cared about once

told me that we can't

retract the decisions that

we've made, we can only

affect the decisions we're

going to make from here.

What, are you trying

to save me now, Nick?

I'm giving you a way out.

Big difference.

Stand up for those principles

you've been preaching,

we're all held accountable

Clyde, that includes you.

Why don't we do

the right thing here.

I'm doing the

right thing, Nick.

You just have to see

it that way.

By murdering all those

people, all you're doing is

destroying the memory

of your daughter.

And causing the same pain

that you're suffering from.

So what do you suggest, Nick?

Make another deal?

One final offer,

is that what it is?

I don't make deals with

murderers anymore, Clyde.

You taught me that.

Finally.

- Finally.

Well done. Bravo.

Maybe I wasnt such a

bad teacher after all.

If you go through

with this, Clyde,

it's a decision you will

have to live with

for the rest of your life.

I'm sorry, Nick.

Me too.

Like I said, Clyde, it's a

decision you will have to

live with for the rest

of your life.

Which I figure by now is

about 25 more seconds.

"DADDY"
