Live Free or Die Hard Page #5

Synopsis: When someone hacks into the computers at the FBI's Cyber Crime Division; the Director decides to round up all the hackers who could have done this. When he's told that because it's the 4th of July most of their agents are not around so they might have trouble getting people to get the hackers. So he instructs them to get local PD'S to take care of it. And one of the cops they ask is John McClane who is tasked with bringing a hacker named Farrell to the FBI. But as soon as he gets there someone starts shooting at them. McClane manages to get them out but they're still being pursued. And it's just when McClane arrives in Washington that the whole system breaks down and chaos ensues.

hero and right now he is...

in my arms, dying and...

and his only hope is...

to get to a hospital right now!

We can't wait!

So, please!

Start the God damn car!

Thank you, Dolores.

Pass the P.D.A.

I gotta call the Warlock.

- The what?

- Warlock, he is a digital jedi.

Mam you are not authorised

to be here.

F.B.I. We suspect there has

been a security breech.

You have landed without authorisation.

- That was pretty good back there, kid.

- Thanks.

- Whats the matter, nothing to complain about?

- No, just.......

- What? What's the problem?

- I'm not like you,

I can't do this sh*t.

- What does that mean? Like what?

- Like... heroic and everything.

I am not that guy.

- Nobody here is a hero, kid.

- You saved my life like 10 times,

in the last six hours.

I was doing my job, that's all.

Do you know what you get for being a hero?

Nothing! You get shot at.

Pat on the back, bla

bla bla. That a boy!

You get divorced...

Your wife can't remember your last name,

kids don't want to talk to you...

You get to eat a lot of meals by yourself.

Trust me kid, nobody

wants to be that guy.

- Then why you doing this?

- Because there is nobody else to do it right now.

Believe me if there was

somebody else to do it

i would let them do it.

There's not, so we're doing it.

That's what makes you that guy.

The things flying now.

Contact Emerson, tell him that

we will be there soon.

What the hell are you doing?

This floor is restricted access.

You stay here.

- We are in.

- Good, shut it down.

I guess you were right, kid.

OK... that's awful.

We got company.

So how would they

shut down the power?

- what?

- Come on!

Central control Room.

- Fourth floor, fourth floor!

- Come on!

Sh*t!

- Try to keep up!

- I am keeping up!

I am just trying to stop for

just two seconds to catch a breath.

- They have these things called Gymnasiums...

- Well yeah, it's not like...

Come on! Let's go! Let's go!

Intel is fairly certain that

the terrorists are mobile.

It is the only way to consistently

avoid signal triangulation.

Judging by the amount of hardware

they are running,

we are probably looking for

a large vehicle,

probably a semi-trailer rig.

Right.

Tell the guys at

Homeland Security...

that we need every agent and

functioning satellite they have got.

Now!

Playtime is over sweetheart

Don't move! Take your

hand off the gun.

Hands up. Stand up.

Go on, now!

Let's go, kid! You're up!

As fast as you can.

That's enough of this Kung-Fu sh*t

I've met some b*tches in my day...

but you...

Still awake, huh?

- Keep doing what you are doing.

- OK!

- How much time do you need?

- Not much.

Are you done?

Are you done?

No... no, not quite...

I am not exactly checking

my email here, you know.

I ran this hacking PN mode on their

PI, I am just booting their host...

- what?

- It means about 30 seconds, ok?

It is not the easiest thing

to do, when...

OK.

- Undo everything you just did, now!

- OK, OK...

I'm a righty I need my other hand.

I really do.

I'm a righty...

One last door to open.

Do you know what you are doing?

Do you realise what this'll do to the country?

Yes, I do. Now open the door.

OK good. Glad we are

on the same page.

How you doin?

Hang on!

Let's just talk about

this for once...

How you doing? That's

not too tight is it?

Damn it!

Great!

McClane!

Sh*t!

McClane, get out of there!

Come on man, come on!

Come on man!

Did you see that?

- So you stopped her, right?

- Yeah yeah yeah.

Actually having a gun pointed at

your head makes it harder to do.

- what?

- I think she left a surprise.

Can't you just turn it off?

Lock 'em out?

I'm not sure.

I might be able to slow

them down though.

Western and central hubs are

ours, we are just waiting on Mai.

Hang on, something's up.

All of the security is

reactivating.

I think somebody is in the

market for some cheap Viagra...

and your girlfriend is dead...

why not check out our sexy

singles you can chat with.

It's an e-bomb.

Alright, wait wait wait, OK

- Mai, talk to me what's going on?

- Mai...

Oh, yeah, little Asian chick,

likes to kick people?

I don't think she will be talking

with anybody for a long time.

The last time that I saw her,

she was in the...

bottom of an elevator shaft

with an SUV up her ass.

i What's the matter?

Cat got your tongue?

Listen, Jackass! Your

Fire Sale is over.

Pack up your little circus or

I will come and kick your ass.

You have idea who

I am and of what I am capable of.

When I'm finished here and

I promise it will be soon...

I will focus all

my attention on you.

You wanna make things personal,

fine!

Reroute every cubic foot of natural gas

in the pipelines to that station.

- Can you get Bowman on this thing?

- Sure.,,

- can get anyone.

- Do it.

- Now?

- Yes, now.

Please, no!

- That is Thomas Gabriel.

- Sh*t!

- You know this guy?

- I worked with him.

He was D.O.D.s chief programmer

for infrastructure security.

After 9/11, he's the guy

that told joint chiefs...

that the system was vulnerable. He was pushing for

total overhaul, but they wouldn't listen.

- Gabriel is not exactly people friendly.

- You think so?

When he tried to go public they

crucified him, destroyed his reputation,

i after that he disappeared.

We got a pretty serious problem.

Hold on a minute, what?

I think we need to get out

of here, right now.

- They are sending the gas lines here.

- Gas? What gas?

Christ!

Oh, all of them!

See that? Those flashing arrows?

That is not good.

- All that's coming here?

- Yes, I think we gotta go.

i Listen, I gotta go.

Just find Thomas Gabriel!

McClane? McClane?

Let's go, finish this up!

Right now,

Come on!

Get in there!

Let's go, come on,

we gotta get out of here.

Oh what is the point, oh man,

what is the point?

Hey, knock that off. This has something

to do with that code you wrote, now think.

- Come on, help us win.

- Win?!

When did we start winning, huh?

Look around, are you out of your mind?

We are not even close to winning.

We just got the

sh*t kicked out of us!

You think I'm holding out on you,

something I'm not telling you

- I would happily tell you!

- Jesus!

Warlock, Warlock!

Ah great, there goes the cell phone.

- They knocked the satellites out now?

- No, the battery ran out.

- Listen we should go see him.

- Who?

The Warlock, it's not that far

away, it's in Baltimore.

- You want to go to the Warlocks house, now.

- Hey, this is me helping you.

Trust me. We gotta go see the Warlock

it is our only hope.

- How do you feel about flying?

- You mean like, with a pilot?

- Stick it in the round thing.

- What round thing?

Here, put these on.

Stick it in there, that'll work.

- You OK?

- Yeah, err, I am afraid of flying.

- Yeah I used to be terrified of flying.

- Really?

I took some lessons, you know,

face my fears, that kind of thing...

- Yeah, did it help?

- Not really.

That's it...

- Is it supposed to make that sound?
