Runaway Train Page #4

---

not to stop them | when they're unmanned.

The brake shoes have burned off. | The overspeed control...

must have gotten screwed up | from the collision!

But don't worry, Eddy.

We'll do all we can | to avoid any more casualties.

You haven't forgotten | about the Seneca Bridge.

Dave, could you get us | some coffee. Come on!

- What about the bridge? | - I'm taking care of it.

- What about the bridge? | - I'd like to remind you.

- Seneca is an old bridge. | - So what? Are you gonna get the coffee?

Mr. MacDonald, by the time that runaway | reaches this bridge, it'll be doing 90.

The restriction | for that bridge is 50.

Get that runaway | on the spur in Jordan and derail her.

- Best idea, sir. | - I don't need you to tell me I'm right!

Derail that son of a b*tch! | I don't care about engines!

- I don't want to lose the bridge! | - Hey, this system is designed...

so that I can get everyone | out of our way and onto the siding.

Meanwhile, | we'll think of something else.

Right now it's just four engines, | no people aboard...

and if I let you jerk off | with your system...

this wild animal's | gonna kill somebody!

You know what that'll cost | the company?

Derail her. | That's my order.

You say derail, | then we derail.

But these people are witnesses. | It's your decision, Eddy.

Yeah.

Yeah, it's my decision.

Central calling Jordan.

Signal maintainer 40. | This is an emergency.

Signal maintainer 40, acknowledge. | This is an emergency!

Central calling Jordan.

Signal maintainer 40, come in. | Where the hell are you?

- Central calling Jordan. | - Jordan.

- Signal maintainer 40 here. | - Central here.

There's an unmanned runaway | heading west on track one.

You're gonna have to line her | into the siding...

use the manual switch, | then get out of the way.

Superintendent MacDonald | wants to derail her.

- Yeah. | - You got that name? Mr. Eddy MacDonald.

I'll be goddamned.

Son of a b*tch!

Hey, hear that?

Come on, Manny!

See? I told you, Manny!

I knew we had an engineer | on this sucker!

- All right, kid. | - I said blow, baby, blow!

Boy, this is gonna be something.

Signal maintainer 40 here. | Eh, Jordan.

- Central. | - Listen, did I hear you right...

that that runaway | is supposed to be unmanned?

- Yeah, that's right. | - Well, let me tell you something.

I think you're wrong.

The whistle. | The goddamn whistle's blowing!

Derailing is out! | Run, old man. Line her through!

Somebody's blowing | the goddamn whistle on that train...

and you would have killed them | just like that!

My God!

Okay, next hurdle.

Come on, big train. | I'll slap your big fat diesel ass.

Come on!

Do you like anchovies?

I don't remember having any.

If you had them, | you'd remember.

I tell you what.

- Get over here. | - What?

- I don't think he saw us. | - Okay. What do we do now?

Let him come.

When he gets two-thirds through | that door, we'll nail him.

We ain't gonna | kill him, are we?

Unless we have to.

We'll find out what's going on.

That makes sense.

Oh, man.

He's in trouble out there. | Let's go help him.

Ah, man.

What are you doing here?

I work on this train. | What are you doing here?

I'll tell you what | we're doing here.

We're on our way to Las Vegas | to see our close friend Wayne Newton.

Why? Are you collecting tickets...

sweetheart?

Hey, sweetheart...

how would you like | a really good f***, huh?

Just try it!

Freeze on that bullshit.

What happened to you?

I was tired. | I was taking a nap.

I shouldn't have done it, | but I did it. So what?

My head got hit when we | slammed into that caboose.

I don't know what happened, | but there's no engineer on this train.

There's nobody on | this train but us!

She's lying. | We heard the whistle.

- I blew the whistle! | - You're trying to get us busted.

Listen! This runaway's gonna | run into something very fast.

I climbed back here, the last engine, | where it's safer. Get it?

I don't believe her bullshit.

You don't believe me?

Just look out the window. | See how fast we're going?

This train is out of control. | We can get killed!

Then we better | do something about it!

What about the hostler helper? | A woman.

Goddamn it! Does she know anything | about running a locomotive?

Sh*t.

The only person on | the whole train is a woman.

How lucky can I get?

-Now what? | -It's chief of security from Stonehaven.

- His name Ranken. He wants to see you. | - I don't have time for him!

- He says it's important. | - Know anything about the runaway?

- I don't think so. | - Tell him we'll see him later.

- How far to the bridge? | - Twenty-five minutes.

Sh*t.

- Seneca Station. | - Go ahead.

This is MacDonald at Central Control. | There's a runaway coming your way.

- It's going over 80. | - That's too fast for the bridge.

I know it's too fast. | Have your emergency crew together.

- Christ, can't you stop it? | - We're going to stop it.

Have them there just in case.

A**hole.

It won't do a thing.

- I tried it from the second engine. | - Why not?

I'm no expert. All I know is | when engines are hooked together...

everything operates | from the lead engine.

Stop the lead engine, | they all stop.

I don't believe this sh*t!

We get out of a maximum-security prison | and wind up on an unmanned train...

with this b*tch and bad news.

- You guys bust out of Stonehaven? | - Yeah, so what?

- Man! Why'd you tell her that? | - You told her, clown.

What difference does it make? | She going to drop a dime on us?

I guess you guys | picked the wrong train.

How come you didn't go up | to the lead engine?

You can't cross from the second | to the first engine.

It's a streamliner. | It doesn't have a walkway.

I tried a door in front, but it must | have jammed during the collision.

Oh, man.

- What do we do now? | - Think they know about us?

They do now, | after we hit that caboose.

If they woke up, | there'll be all kinds of pigs...

all over this thing whenever | and wherever it stops.

- Ranken's all over this territory. | - Maybe he'll find us.

I ain't giving up. | No matter who has to die.

- I ain't giving them that pleasure. | - I don't want to die.

I ain't getting caught alive.

And you neither.

I don't know.

I don't know nothing right now. | I can't even think straight.

Just do what I tell you | and don't crap on yourself.

I let you tag along to be | a regular, not a piece of sh*t.

What you're doing ain't nothing.

We don't stand a chance | if we jump out there.

I can't jump here. | This is suicide.

You'll break every bone | in your body and then what?

- They've been broke before. | - I'm with you.

I'm with you till | the wheels come off.

You can't go.

- You can't leave me alone here. | - I don't care who jumps with me.

I know how to stop the train!

Why didn't you tell us that | to start with, goddamn it?

We probably can't stop it 100 , | but we can slow it down.

You tell me how.

If we can disconnect the electric | cables between the engines...
