Speed Page #3

Whoa! Sh*t!

This guy's out of his mind.

OK, listen, you've got to stay above 50.

Excuse me, are you out of your mind?

Whatever it takes.

Hello?

Everybody, I'm Jack Traven, LAPD.

We have a slight situation on the bus here.

Ma'am, if you'll please sit down.

You're scaring the sh*t out of these people.

Ma'am, please!

If everybody will stay in your seats

and remain calm,

we should be able to defuse the problem,

so sit tight...

Get away from me!

I don't know you, man.

I'm not here for you.

Let's not do this.

- Stop the bus!

- He can't!

Stop the bus! Stop it!

Listen!

Look, I'm putting my gun away, OK?

OK?

Now, listen.

I don't care about your crime.

Whatever you did,

I'm sure that you're sorry,

so it's cool now.

It's over.

I'm not a cop right now.

See?

We're just two cool guys,

just hanging out...

Sam!

I'll get the wheel!

I've got it! Sam! Oh God, Sam!

Come on.

You've got to move your legs.

Somebody move his legs!

Hold on!

Sam, get your foot...

get your foot off the pedal!

I got to stop this thing!

No! Don't! Stay above 50!

Sam's been shot!

We've got to get him off!

You slow down and this bus will explode!

There is a bomb on this bus.

If we slow down, it'll blow.

If anyone tries to get off, it'll explode.

Bullshit!

Yeah, there's a bomb.

Some funny joke, man.

Are we gonna have a problem now?

He's bleeding so much.

I don't know what to do.

Put pressure front and back

and keep his legs up.

Hold on.

Sam, lift your head.

Miss, can you handle this bus?

Oh, sure.

It's just like driving a really big Pinto.

I need to know! Can you handle it?

I'm fine. I'm fine.

Just tell me what the plan is.

Is there a plan?

Just for you to drive.

We're OK for now.

Just keep us above 50.

Good plan.

So, you're a cop, right?

That's right.

I should probably tell you

that I'm taking the bus

because I had my driver's license revoked.

What for?

Speeding.

Harry, we're on our way to the chopper.

If anything changes, let us know!

Anything we haven't seen

should be in here.

... something wrong with the driver,

but at least one car, a Jaguar,

has been driven off the road

by the speeding bus.

The bus apparently came onto the freeway

at the Lincoln on-ramp.

It began picking up speed, swerving,

and hasn't slowed down since.

Minutes ago

a Los Angeles police officer

boarded the bus

by jumping onto it from a moving car.

Would that be you, Jack?

Where do we start?

Check the speedometer.

Has it been f***ed with or loosened?

See any wires or anything?

Excuse me, ma'am.

No, it's clean.

Then it's gonna be under the bus.

Probably was rigged to one of the axles.

I can't get under the bus right now.

It's kind of in motion.

Excuse me!

Excuse me!

Hold on.

Yes?

Access panel... in the floor.

Underneath you, man.

All right, Harry.

We're in. Passenger relay.

Sir, take this.

I want you to tell him what I see.

OK,

we got a wad!

Pretty big!

There's a pretty big wad.

Brass fittings!

Brass fittings.

I think I can reach the circuit wire.

He can reach the circuit wire.

No, no. Don't do that.

That's a decoy. Classic.

That's your classic decoy.

What else?

What else?

Hold on.

Hold on.

F*** me!

Oh, darn.

Harry, there's enough C-4 on this thing

to put a hole in the world.

OK, all right. Just stay calm.

What else?

Three triggers...

one on the axle I can't really see,

a cellular remote and a timer

running off a wristwatch.

A watch? What kind of watch?

Gold.

Gold band. Fairly cheesy.

Officer!

- Officer!

- What's on your mind, Harry?

Sh*t. What do I do? Officer!

What do I do? Which way?

Oh, sh*t.

Get on the shoulder.

OK.

Watch it!

Um, stay on or get off?

Stay on or get off?

- Off! Off!

- OK.

Hold on!

Oh, God.

- Keep going.

- It's red!

Go!

Go! Go!

Oh, God!

This is much better.

... city streets.

The bus is on Western

heading in a southbound direction.

Now, where the bus did exit here,

it had a couple of close calls.

Yeah! Yeah! All right!

We don't know

what authorities are planning to do.

I don't get it.

The watch is a shitty timer.

Why use it? What's he saying?

Lots of people have watches, Harry.

This guy has no MO.

A bomber falls in love

with one kind of bomb

and they're very monogamous.

This guy uses C-4, dynamite,

different trigger every time,

and now he throws in this watch.

He's an encyclopedia of bombs.

He knows every kind.

Yeah, and everything we do to dismantle it.

Wait a minute.

I want to look at the files

for the last 10 years.

We did the mug shots.

It's not gonna help.

No.

I want to look at cops.

Come on. Let's go.

Yeah. Mac, where have you been?

I had to bail on the freeway.

We're in the city.

I can see you.

Just keep going straight.

I'm going to try to clear the roads for you.

Just stay on-line.

Sh*t! Oh, Jesus!

God! No!

Go left!

Sorry!

Oh, my God!

Oh, jeez!

People, stay out of my way!

Stay out of my way!

Ma'am, up to the right.

OK, OK I see it. Sh...

Mac! Mac!

You've got to get me out of here!

Oh, yeah.

All right?

A few more blocks,

you'll come up to a soft turn.

Right.

Then hold straight.

I've got some units waiting for you there.

They're gonna lead you to the 105 Freeway.

It's not in use.

It'll be empty.

You'll be totally clear.

Got it.

In a few blocks,

we'll take a soft turn to the right.

OK, wait a minute. Escort to where?

Where do we get an escort to?

Watch out!

Oh, God!

Son of a b*tch!

Oh, Jesus! Oh, God! I hit the baby!

Oh, God! I just hit the baby!

Cans!

There was no baby. It was full of cans.

- Are you sure?

- Yes.

OK, let's go.

Jeez!

No! No! No!

Get back!

Why aren't they in school?

Mac, we're boned.

I'll get you out, Jack.

All right, listen.

You got an entrance coming up, Jack.

It's gonna be a real ugly turn, though.

How ugly?

What's ugly?

We got a hard right coming up

at the construction site.

This should be it.

That's a dead end.

I can't make that turn.

You can make it. Keep left.

Keep left and make it wide.

Oh, God. We're going to tip over.

You're right. We're going to tip over.

Everyone on this side of the bus now!

On this side of the bus!

Hold on!

Over here! Over here!

As far as you can! Now!

Mac, you better clear this site out.

Everybody hold on!

This side of the bus!

Hold on!

Hold on!

Oh, God! Here we go!

Here we go!

Here we go!

Whoo!

Oh, my God!

Oh, God! Is everybody all right?

- Yes!

- Oh, my God.

Take me to that interchange at the 105.

Oh, my God. We might've died.

I can't think.

It's OK.

If you need to,

you go right ahead and vomit.

Hold it right there!

Hurry up!

Frank,

get rid of that scaffolding

and replace it with webbing.

OK.

Norwood, I want aerial units up ahead.

No obstructions in the freeway.

We have a window here.

I want to make sure it stays open.

Shoot.

Could you do me a favor

and hold the wheel for me for a second?

Hold the wheel? Thank you.

Ma'am, you did very well.

Actually, you were incredible.
