Runaway Train Page #5

---

the engines will shut down | one at a time.

It's not going to be easy.

They'll all be frozen solid | and we don't have the right tools.

It's a better chance | than jumping now.

You better know what | you're talking about.

Look, don't threaten me. | What's the matter with you?

Come on. Let's go.

That one.

The one next to the tow brake?

Yeah. Here.

Pull me up!

- You do it. You have two hands. | - Okay, hold onto me.

Use the wrench.

Hey, I did it! | I got it!

Get me up!

Come here! Look at this!

- Look at what? | - The runaway. It slowed down!

- It's at 80 and holding. | - It was 92 a couple minutes ago.

- I don't understand it. | - The girl. Somehow she slowed it.

It doesn't matter-- eight, 180-- | the bridge won't take it.

- How far to the bridge now? | - Five minutes.

- Let's go. | - Right.

We can use | the fire extinguisher.

I lost it!

She's coming! | E.T.A.'s in about three minutes!

Get me up!

Get her, man. Get her!

Grab my hand.

Look, Manny, look!

Get me Central Control. Quick!

- It's crazy. | - What?

There are three people | on the runaway.

Holy sh*t. | Where they come from?

How do I know? | We just saved three lives.

- Not for long. | - Dave, give me a f***ing break.

I wish I could, but we got | five minutes to get the runaway...

off the main line, or else it's going | head-on with the Northeast Express.

No big deal. | We'll just head her into the 14.

Great idea. Why don't you | just send her to Elkins?

- So? | - No, that's the chemical plant.

- She'll never make the curve. | - She'll wipe out the whole plant.

There'll be toxic chemicals | from here to Kansas.

Better warn them.

You know, girl, | I ought to thank you.

It's one thing to jump, | wrap yourself around a tree or a pole.

But to wind up | spilt all over a ditch...

with a broken hip, | waiting for the bulls--

What a waste.

Yeah, man. You ain't kidding.

Look, we're almost there. | Come on, Manny.

- Let's rip this f***er! | - Is that the door?

- It's jammed. I couldn't open it. | - Don't worry, sweetheart.

We been breaking through doors | all our lives.

Come on, let me in there. | Let me help.

- Let me in there. | - I got it!

You can't do it with | that hand of yours.

Sh*t.

- Take the first west at McKessburg. | - Get onto the Bell Port siding.

Get the emergency crew ready | and evacuate the plant immediately.

Get them as far away | from the plant as possible.

You got 10 minutes if you're lucky. | Get off my back, woman!

Get off my back, woman!

Mr. Barstow, I have two very dangerous | prisoners on the loose.

I don't give a sh*t if your | whole prison's on the loose.

I got a killer train on my hands | with three people on board...

and I got no free tracks | left to play with.

Do me a favor and get lost or I'm going | to have ass kicked out of here!

On the double!

You keep an eye on her. | I'm going to take a leak.

Do that.

Hope you don't like it | and want to do something about it.

I didn't think you wanted to | back up that loud conversation.

Wipe that piss off your face...

and I don't want to hear | any more crap out of you.

If I don't get my convicts back, | the prison will be out of control.

You know what a riot in a maximum | security prison looks like?

Your brains are too small | to imagine it.

- Now, where's the train? | - Track one.

I'm gonna kick your teeth in, | you're playing with me.

You tell me real straight, | got it?

You tell me how to find | that train with a helicopter.

I'll show you.

I'll be goddamned | if I come all this way...

to get stopped | by some goddamned door!

- Sh*t! | - Don't give up now.

- We're gonna make it through this. | - How?

I don't know.

But I know that people | are clearing the tracks.

And I know they won't abandon us.

- How do you know that? | - I just feel it in my heart.

There are miracles.

You're stupid. You know how stupid | you sound? Miracle, my ass!

One must count on oneself, | nobody else.

You think I'm waiting around | for a miracle to happen?

I'm going out and around.

I'm going there. | That's where I'm going!

You can't make it. | I told you...

there's nothing to hold on to.

There's no walkways. | I told you, you can't make it !

I'll make it. If I have to | fly the five feet like a birdie.

I'll fly it. | I'll make it.

Manny, you can't do it. | Not with that arm of yours.

But I can do it. | I can whip this f***er.

So, give me a drink. | Let me go for it.

- All right. | - Hey, sucker!

Lighten up.

- You are so brave. | - Yeah, I know it.

Goggles.

I'm going. Here I go.

Partners? Yeah.

F***ing A.

You can make it!

F***, you got guts, kid!

You got real guts. | More guts than brains.

- What did you say? | - No brains!

- That's mean! | - That's the truth.

Come on, Buck. | Let's go, sucker.

Make it now! Jump for it!

- He's got to come back. | - Go for it!

- I can't watch this. | - Then sit down!

Don't give up on me!

Come on! Come on!

Go get the--

Don't quit! | Get out there!

He can't do it! | Don't you care about him?

- Does his life mean anything to you? | - Get out of here!

Get back, punk!

You want to be a tough guy? | You want to be a legend? Go back!

Let him in!

- What are you doing, Manny? | - Get the f*** up!

Show me you ain't got | sh*t for blood.

Give me a break.

Get out there!

Don't you talk to me!

I don't know who you are. | You want to be a tough guy?

Get the f*** out of here!

- Stop it! | - You want to kill me?

If I'd wanted to punch your ticket, | you'd be long gone.

I'm telling you, | you can do it!

I can't do it, Manny.

You don't know what you | could do or what you can't.

You're a coward! Why'd I break out | with this chickenshit?

Leave him alone!

- Get the f*** up! You hear me? | - Stop it!

- Get the f*** out here! | - Okay!

No! He's using you! | Don't go!

You're gonna do what | I tell you, aren't you?

- That's right! You're gonna do it! | - Do it yourself if you're so brave!

- I would if I had two hands. | - Bullshit!

You think you can sacrifice | someone else's life?

You're an animal!

No, worse. Human.

Get the f*** out of here. | Go! Get the hell out of here!

I'm not letting you go!

Don't you touch her!

I'll kill you, Manny!

You die, sucker!

Don't make me kill you.

I'll beat you to f***ing death!

Come on, try me!

Kill him!

I thought you was my friend.

I thought we was partners.

Sh*t. You know...

you're worse than Ranken, | when the truth comes out.

At least he's up front | with his bullshit.

You was a hero.

You was a hero...

to all of us | back in that shithole.

Goddamn.

It's your mess, Frank. You should've | listened to me and derailed her.

So what do we do? | We shunt them onto the siding...

and in 15 minutes | they run out of track.

- Elkins Station! | - Elkins, go ahead.

- Gilchrist, this is MacDonald. | - Yes, MacDonald.

- Barstow here. | - Come on!

Listen carefully and act fast.

You have about one minute to line | the runaway under the old spur...

- the one we don't use anymore. | - You got it.
