Live Free or Die Hard Page #6

- Yes.

Maybe we should just drive,

it'll be fun like a road trip...

Take it easy, they say taking

off is the hardest part.

Really, I'd heard...

- I'll be honest, I missed some classes.

- Ha Ha, you did? Really?

You got your license, right?

To fly one of these things...

Hey hey.

Here we go, we're up!

That's good, that's

pretty good.

Jesus! Look at that! This

whole area's blacked out.

How will we find Warlocks house?

It will probably be the only one

with the lights still on.

Power outage keeps spreading,

half the east coast has gone down.

Alright, put everything

on emergency generators.

How the hell are they

getting past us?

- OK, down there, I see it.

- Down there?

Left, left, down.

We gonna land there?

- Alright, hang on.

- Oh, Jesus!

The fence! The fence!

- The fence! The fence!

- I see it...

Watch...

- wooow!

- Come on.

- Oh yeah, taking off is the hardest part.

- Let's go!

Theres something you need to know

about Warlock, he hates cops...

he hates them, so let

me do all the talking.

Hey Mrs. Kludis.

Is Freddy home?

I am Matt Farrell and that is Billy.

We are friends from Space Camp.

We went to Space Camp with Freddy.

Freddy!

- Freddy?

- You got company.

Frederick, didn't you hear me?

- All Baltimore heard you, ma.

- Your friends are here.

Friends? But what the...

Ma, how many times, you don't

bring people down here?

I can't see too well, you have

lost so much weight!

No, dude I gained 30 lbs,

who is that?

You know what it doesn't matter?

What are you even doing here?

I am rocking 5 generators just

so I can stay online.

And since you are being hunted by

assassins, maybe this visit

isn't a productive or a healthy way

of spending my time.

- Hey, don't touch that alright?

- CB radio?

- A little low tech for you isn't it?

- Old? That my friend...

is an end of the world

insurance system, OK.

When the last microchip is down

I will be able to...

be in contact with the world,

be they zombies or not.

I'll tell you that right now.

- What did you bring your Dad here for?

- He is cool, he's into games.

- Nice poster.

- Oh, what are you, a fan of Fett?

- No, I was more of a Star Wars guy.

- Star Wars! Who is this man?

He is...

Dump-truck, I'm not his Dad,

I am a cop. How about that?

Ah, a cop, I'm sorry.

Thank you very much.

Why'd you bring a cop into

my Command Centre?

- Command Centre?! It is a basement.

- It is a Command Centre!

Don't help, McClane!

I can explain...

Tell us what you know about Thomas

Gabriel. That's why we came here.

Thomas Gabriel, that's cool,

I didn't know. I'm sorry.

Get out, I want you out of here,

man, right now!

Hey, calm down.

- Just calm down big boy.

- You calm down, it's my house!

You are going to tell me what I wanna know.

Or I'm gonna kill you in your own house.

recruits Thomas Gabriel...

to be a cyber spook for them, OK.

First day on the job he

goes and tells his bosses...

that the nations security infrastructure

is wide open to compromise .

And what did they say?

"We will take it under advisement."

But he doesn't ease up 'cos he is

committed, like you read about.

So he breaks into a meeting

of the Joint chiefs of Staff, OK?

Using just a laptop he

hacks into NORAD

and shuts down the

entire defence network

So they put a gun to his head

and forced him to stop the hack,

Thomas Gabriel is the guy who

shut down NORAD with a laptop,

just to prove a point,

you think I'm scared of you?

- Just tell us how to find the guy.

- I don't know how, he is a ghost.

He just fell off the grid.

- Another dead end, come on.

- Hold on wait, McClane,

Listen, Warlock, a couple of

weeks ago I wrote this...

I know dude, you wrote a mutating

algorithm security code

that's probably being used

right now by Thomas Gabriel.

No, we know that, yes.

- Can you tell us what he's using it for?

- I've been trying to figure that out..

Here, look...

The only system I can find

using that kind of security,

is the Social Security

Administration, OK.

They don't even use it

in the main facility, look.

They use it in this building,

over here, Woodlawn.

What the hell...

- I know, right?

- Right, what?

What the hell you guys

talking about?

The power consumption is off the charts.

It's hot, on fire.

- The chilling towers?

- That's what I thought.

- Hello, what's a chilling tower?

- Jees, see what I've been dealing with?

Large server farms generate a

lot of heat, they need to be cooled.

Why there?

I don't know what is in that building but I

assure you it's not Social Security numbers.

I have a red flag over here,

someone's hacking into Woodlawn.

Tracking IP on the server now...

Frederick Kaludis.

- Let's take a look at him.

- Fat bastard!

McClane. Where is his daughter?

We just got a trace on her cell.

You're gonna love this.

Alright let's get

a better look at you.

i Freddy, what the hell are you

doing, meddling in my network?

i McClane? I thought

I'd killed you already.

I get that sometimes.

Do you think you can

track where he is?

i Detective, covering the camera with

your hand, doesn't turn off the microphone.

I know that am not as smart as

you guys and this computer sh*t.

i But hey, I'm still

alive aint I?

I mean you got to be running

outta bad guys by now, right?

Gabriel?

Honestly, you can tell me.

How's that work?

Is it some kind of service or something?

Some kind of 1-800 number, 1-800 henchmen?

I bet you are still

on hold waiting :

"Get another dead Asian hooker

b*tch over here right away?"

But seriously, all that kicking

aside, that skinny ninja chick...

i she was smoking hot.

Another one of those is gonna be

real hard to come by, right?

- You're very impressed with yourself, aren't you?

- I have my moments.

Yeah?

Is this one of them?

- Hello?

- Yes, Emergency Services calling.

- Oh, thank God.

- Can she hear me?

My name is Lucy Gennero, I have been

stuck for hours, been trying to call...

- my cell phones not working...

- Can she hear this?

Lucy, hang up that phone.

i Calm down miss.

We know exactly where you are.

- Everything will be alright.

- Lucy, hang up the phone!

Please, John, I am

trying to have a conversation.

i we are a bit overloaded

tonight, as you may imagine, /i

but I assure you, we are

gonna get you out of there...

even if I have to come down there

and get you myself.

Thank you.

In the meantime Mrs Gennero is

there anybody we can contact for you?

Yes, my Dad.

His name is John McClane,

He's a New York City cop.

i We'll find him, just hang

in there Miss and we will get to you.

i Very soon.

i Thank you.

i Wow, that's a great girl you

got there, can't wait to meet her

i What's the matter,

cat got your tongue?

Come on John? Make a joke.

Say something funny.

i WOODLAWN /i

Wait, where are you going?

Hey, hold up. Where are you going?

What are you gonna do?

What do you think I'm gonna do?

I'm gonna kill this guy
