Operator Page #2

that a serious accident

on the corner of Fifth and Dawkins

is gonna occur in ten minutes

and you can prevent it from happening.

Would I have your attention then?

Oh, my goodness.

- Are we still on the clock?

- You think you have a shot with that?

What are you talking about?

She looked right at me.

- I know what that means. I still got it.

- It means you need new glasses.

She looked right at me.

- What a butt like a ten-year old.

- Really?

You know, you should enjoy her

while you can at that age.

Because right now she thinks

you're the coolest dude on Earth.

- But by middle school it's all over.

- That early?

That early. My daughter started

to call me "pig" in sixth grade.

I wonder why.

Who I am and why I'm doing this

is none of your concern.

What I am prepared to do is

what you should be concerned about.

- Sir, if this is some kind of a prank...

- Then hang up on me.

Oh, that's right!

An emergency dispatch operator

can't disconnect

once the caller has stated

"There's emergency".

No doubt, by now you've tried

discovering my location.

Did you find something interesting?

- Listen, Mister...

- No!

You listen.

Report an accident to the corner

of Fifth and Dawkins over dispatch.

You can believe me or not,

but if you don't,

then the blood of the victims

will be on your hands,

not mine.

By the way, you're down

to four minutes and 53 seconds.

Radio to any available units.

We have possible signal 41 in progress

on 421 Fifth Avenue South.

That's a familiar voice.

Not really. I spoke to her today

first time in a week.

I thought you guys

were patching things up.

She said possible 41 auto accident.

How does that make any sense?

It's 421 Fifth Avenue.

It's close by, let's take it.

Hey, look at it this way. At least now

she'll have to listen to you.

670, Radio. You said a possible 41?

Ten-four 2670. It was a confusing call

on my end as well.

Are you available to go check it out?

Ten-four. En route. Hey.

I'll take a look around.

Radio, this is 670.

Go for Radio.

We're here, there's no sign

of a signal 41, nothing at all.

Did you trace the caller?

Ten four, 2670. I got nothing.

Copy.

Stand by, 2670.

- 911. What is your emergency?

- You tell me.

Listen, I've had enough of your pranks.

Are you aware that is a felony

to prank call an emergency to 911?

Oh, no! A felony?

Well, perhaps I should just stop now.

So, you sent a unit over to the location

like I asked? Did they find anything?

No, nothing. They found nothing

because there is nothing there.

You've wasted my time

and the time of two police officers.

- Are you sure about that?

- Yes, I am sure about that.

Please, stop shouting.

Remember that the primary responsibility

of an emergency operator

is to keep the caller calm.

Check with the officer one more time.

We must be certain before

making any rash decisions.

Radio to 2670, are you certain

there is no sign of an accident?

No sign of a signal 41. Nothing at all.

Prank call.

Wasted time? Let's get out of here.

2670, come back.

Jeremy...

Let me guess. Signal 41.

A car accident. And right on time.

You did this. You made this happen.

Now that is really a stretch.

Good luck explaining that

to your superiors.

I know a lot about you, Pam.

And have a great deal of more

surprises in store for you today.

No, you need to find someone else

to play games with.

I assure you if you had anything

to do with that accident,

you're gonna be very sorry

you ever dialed 911.

Oh, my God!

No!

What do you want?

For you to understand

the fear I will create.

Fear like you've never felt before.

Fear that will scar you for life.

Please, don't hurt her.

I will do anything you want.

I can get you a hostage negotiator.

I don't want a negotiator, Pam.

I want you.

And I want you to cooperate.

- I chose you specifically for this task.

- I can't do this.

Either you'll put the lives

of a few pigs in the line of danger,

pigs that have sworn

to protect and serve.

Or you'll watch

as your daughter struggles

as she's slowly submerged

into the watery depths.

I always liked poetry.

It's your choice.

Jeremy! Don't move!

Look, just fall on me. Just fall.

Go ahead, I got you. I got you. I got you.

There we go, alright.

Come on. Come on.

Come on. Alright, come on.

Roll out. Roll over. Come on, man.

Come on, Jerry, let's go!

Alright, just go out.

Son of a b*tch, you are lucky!

Now, let's set up the rules.

Rule number one:

You will ignore all incoming calls and

remain on the line with me at all times.

Rule number two:

You will ask nothing of me,

and you will answer any question

that I ask you.

Rule number three: Obey!

You will comply with my every request

and you will see to it

that they're carried out to a tee.

And you will do so without asking

for assistance from your co-workers

like you're attempting to do now.

You can see me?

It's surprising how easy it is

to intercept the video

of a "high security"

state protected building

even from a safe distance.

Take a sip of your coffee.

That's not mine.

I'd hate for something to happen

to your daughter because you're disgusted

by the thought of drinking

after your friend.

You ready?

Yeah.

- Got it, got it.

- Ready?

Freeze!

I will shoot!

Sh*t.

Nothing.

Nothing. Did you see anything?

I was pulling you out of the car.

It's some kind of hit and run, man.

Thanks, buddy. He came straight at me.

Better call back-up.

- Radio 670 requesting code 21.

- What do I say?

An officer is calling for back-up, Pam.

So, send him some back-up.

Ten-four 670.

The accident didn't happen until we got here.

What the hell is going on?

- Careful.

- I don't know.

Radio to any available units. I'm requesting

code 21 to 421 Fifth Avenue south.

Ten-four Radio. This is 26040. En route.

See, that wasn't so hard, was it?

Sorry about that. It's not easy

looking beautiful all the time.

- Are you ready for that break now?

- Ignore her.

It's okay.

I'm in the middle of a call, so...

- I'll take it over.

- No, she won't.

No, really, I'm gonna finish this one.

- Just give me the call, Pam.

- Deal with her!

I know you're trying to get a raise. But you

don't have to impress the callers, too.

- I'm warning you.

- It's not that. I just want to finish this call.

- Enough, Pam. Get up!

- Get rid of her now!

Hell, I could use a 15.

I just hate office drama.

The officer you were speaking to...

- he's quick

- He's just a cop doing his job.

I think he understands

what we're trying to accomplish.

We? I don't even know

what you're trying to accomplish.

I'd like to report another crime.

Property damage.

It's 1731 Weathervane Drive.

- Send 2670 to check it out.

- He was just in an accident.

Besides, a cop can't leave the scene of

the crime when he's the first to respond.

Are you still there?

Figure something out.

I'm not gonna do your job for you.

- If he isn't at the scene in five minutes...
