Live Free or Die Hard Page #2

- Just breathe.

- I am breathing, but...

- I can't stop shaking.

- It is the adrenaline.

You are just scared.

It will pass.

Of course I'm scared.

Werent you scared, back there?

Yes.

I was scared.

Really?

This is you being scared?

I dunno, you seem really calm.

Have you done stuff like that before?

Stuff like what?

Like killing people.

Yes.

Not for a long time.

Who were those guys?

Why did they try to kill you?

Why did they blow up my apartment?

They were there to kill you.

Why would they want to kill me?

You tell me, kid.

You're the criminal.

We got 7 dead hackers so far,

none high on our list

Collect the hard drives

and start sweeping them..

Yes, Sir.

Trey...

Matthew Farrell,

Find him for me.

On it.

What's with all the guns?

Operational prudence.

Think of them as

hardware to your software.

i good morning D.C. /i

i Well it' shaping up to be

another beautiful 4th of July weekend.

i If you've got any big plans,

you better get started early.

i Because it looks like the

traffic is hotting up.

i So another golden oldie

for all the commuters out there.

What?

What?

What?

What are you doing?

What is that?

It is Credence.

- Credence?

- Credence.

Credence Clearwater Revival.

- Classic rock.

- I know who it is.

It is old rock,

that does not make it classic.

What sucked back then

still sucks now.

You don't like Credence?

It is like having a pine cone

shoved up my ass.

OK, really...

Wow how mature!

Come on man.

i We are at a heading of 060.

Making another pass.

Listen up everyone.

Are we ready?

The transportation hubs

are prepped and set.

Begin stage 1.

When was the last time you tuned

in your radio to pop music?

Give me any decade.

Was it the seventies?

Did Michael Jackson still play?

Pearl Jam.

I'm going back about 10 years.

Ten years.

Twenty years. The Cure? Nothing?

It's called News Radio.

I'm trying to see if any of your

friends from Camden made the headlines.

Hold on.

- You listen to the news?

- Yeah, you have a problem with the news now?

Yes, I have a big God damned

problem with the news.

Are you ready for this?

The news is completely manipulated.

Everything that you hear

every single day...

is designed by corporate media

to do one thing only.

Jesus!

To keep you living in fear.

- Oh fear?

- Total fear.

Fear so you will go out and

spend money on things.

Things you probably don't even need.

Things you should already be sick of.

So that their advertisers keep

buying adds on their stations.

And I tell one more thing.

Are you ready for this?

I can do this all day man.

I've got days of data at home.

I'll drop a bomb on you bigger......

- HEY!

- SHUT UP!

That's good, that's good,

be dismissive

You...

- Are you OK?

- No, I am not OK.

Stay in the car.

You will be OK.

Hey man! Hey.

How are you doing,

you alright?

Just call 911, alright?

Jesus Christ.

All of the lights are green.

All of the lights are green.

Let's go, right now.

- We gotta go?

- Let's go.

Get your bag hack boy.

Let's go.

- Jesus.

- Let's go.

I've never been in a crash.

Are you alright?

Well it is very exciting.

This way, here we go.

- Have you ever been in a car accident?

- Yes, I have been in a car accident.

What are we doing?

A little thing they invented back

in the 60s, it's called jogging.

Sir, Chicago is reporting a system crash

in their train network

Amtrak is flashing a level 1

crash of their system

F.A.A. just issued a critical alert.

Their ATC Net just went down.

We are under attack.

OK.

Let's get them outside

for a little bit of fresh air.

That is the Anthrax Alarm.

Alright, everyone out,

Now!

Now!

Taylor, move, go.

Move!

i All personnel must evacuate

and proceed to the shelters immediately.

i This is not a drill.

i All personnel must evacuate

and proceed to the shelters immediately.

Take the team and go for

the fourth floor. Got it?

Masks on.

Make it happen, OK?

Research the data

from these crashes,

see if you can ID the

point of origin.

Begin Stage 2.

i Hey what is going on?

i What is happening?

They are already starting

to panic.

Of course they are.

They think that someone

is taking their money.

All of those nickel

and dimes they saved.

Useful idiots,

as Lyman would say.

Prep the video package.

DC transportation system is crashing

And they just hit the financial

sector. Everything.

Call the Secretary of Trans, the

Treasury And the Director of F.C.C.

Let's go people!

Somebody, somewhere,

has left a digital fingerprint.

Find it!

Is Deputy Director Bowman

in here?

- Not now it will have to wait.

- Not today waxworks.

This is Matthew Farrell.

I brought him here on direct

orders from Bowman.

So if you don't know what's going on,

find me somebody who does.

I am Bowman.

The video package is

ready for upload.

Thanks.

Listen, John.

I thank for bringing Farrell,

but everythings changed this morning

We are neck deep in

damage control right now.

'Scuse me, I'm sorry, Sir.

Do you have something to eat?

Any snacks around here?

I would love... I am

really low on blood sugar.

Sir?

No?

i As if the crash of the traffic

system wasn't bad enough.

i the Stock exchange was

in a selling frenzy this afternoon.

i the Commission believes this panic

may have been caused by computer malfunction.

i it is Believed to be related...

It's not as bad as it looks.

We run drills to prepare

for things like this.

- Are these your suspects?

- They were.

All seven were killed

in the last 24 hours.

Do you recognize any of them?

No.

Not one??

Sir.

You need to see something here.

i My fellow Americans...

i it is time...

i the citizenry.

i We will not falter.

i And we won't fail.

I don't know how they

are getting in.

i Thank you.

I And a...

Happy...

Independence Day...

for everyone!

That was creepy.

I tried to find more Nixon.

Do you think they bought it?

Absolutely.

OK.

I want telecommunications, transports and...

Jesus Christ! It's a Fire Sale.

What?

It's a Fire Sale.

Hey, we don't know that yet.

It is a myth anyway.

It cannot be done.

Oh it's a myth?

Really?

Please tell me she's only here for show

and she's not actually in charge of anything.

- What is a Fire Sale?

- It is a three step....
