Sudden Death Page #2

Of course.

Nice outfit, Duckerman.

Two nights ago with the Blackhawks

on the brink of elimination...

It's time!

I want you to pick up the phone...

and dial 555-1793.

- That's my husband's work number.

- It certainly is.

When you get him on the line,

- say only what's written on this.

- Ohh.

Kitchen. Yeah. Hold on.

Andrew, it's your wife.

- Hello?

- Andy, it...

We have your wife.

Follow her instructions.

They will not hurt me...

if you do as they say.

If you give any indication something

is wrong, they will... kill me.

When you go to the...

Vice President's box,

you will take two new

assistants with you...

escorted by

two security men.

Get them into the box.

That's all you need to do.

That's all you need to know.

Who are these men?

How will I know them?

In 30 seconds, you'll know.

I swear this.

If you hurt my wife, I'll...

You'll what?

Burn my toast?

- Mr. Ferrara?

- Yes?

Are these men yours?

Yes. They're mine.

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.

The National Hockey League presents

game seven of the Stanley Cup finals.

The Chicago Blackhawks

and the Pittsburgh Penguins.

As we get ready for the seventh and

final game of the Stanley Cup finals,

you can feel the electricity in the air;

it sends a chill up your spine, Paul.

One of these clubs is going to

skate with Lord Stanley's cup

here at Civic Arena Ice tonight.

Listen to the crowd, Mike.

They're going crazy.

Well, here's to a great game.

Great if we win;

not so great if we lose.

We are ready.

Thank you, everybody.

You may leave now.

Mr. Ferrara will close up

your stations.

...singing of our National Anthem.

Oh, say, can you see

# By the dawn's

early light

# What so proudly we hailed

# At the twilight's

last gleaming

- # Whose broad stripes

- What the hell are you...

# And bright stars

# Through the perilous fight

# O'er the ramparts

we watched

# Were so gallantly streaming

# And the rockets'

red glare

# The bombs bursting in air

# Gave proof

through the night

# That our flag

was still there

- I love that part.

- # Oh, say does that

- # Star-spangled

- Well, gotta go.

# Banner yet wave

# O'er the land

# Of the free

# And the home

# Of the brave

This place is going crazy right now.

You could not beg, borrow or

steal a ticket before the game tonight.

If you were packing heat,

you couldn't get in here.

Eddie Belfour

starts in goal for Chicago.

Amazingly, Brad Tolliver will play...

even though he could hardly walk today

much less skate with a fever of 104.

And here we go.

Game seven of the Stanley Cup finals.

And the Chicago Blackhawks

control the opening face-off.

They'll work into Pittsburgh territory,

putting pressure on the Penguins early.

Graham, slap shot!

Tolliver makes the save.

Please, he needs a doctor.

No!

Not any more. Go ahead.

Dead heroes get the best funerals.

Thanks for your help, Andrew.

His wife's recently deceased.

He would have been lonely without her.

I hope that clarifies

the urgency of this mission.

Only your best behavior's

gonna be good enough.

That agent's name was Eddie Caline.

He has a 5-year-old boy, a 3-year-old

little girl, and his wife's pregnant.

- I'll send a card.

- What do you want?

What do I want?

World peace, an end to bigotry

and no more mini-malls.

What am I gonna get?

And I am gonna get it.

That, boys and girls,

is really hot.

- What is your objective?

- My objective?

I get funny all over

when you talk like that.

I know what you're thinking.

Evaluate situation, calculate potential

losses and take appropriate action.

Let me do that for you.

The situation is hopeless.

The losses would be unacceptable.

The appropriate action is to do nothing

and keep your f***ing mouth shut.

What kind of lunatic are you?

The best kind.

You can keep calling me names

if it makes you feel better.

Throw me your earpiece

and your mike.

Robitaille with a center pass.

That's just gonna miss.

We are still scoreless in game seven,

period one, the Hawks and Pens.

Watch Loeman.

He's got eyes in the back of his head.

They must be closed.

- Oh, gross!

- I have some work to do.

I'll be back before the period ends.

You two stay right here.

I'll go too,

so you'll have company.

Thanks, sweetheart,

but you stay with Tyler.

Now you won't be by yourself.

Thank you.

I mean it. Don't leave your seats.

Oh. In case you want a soda.

- Don't get out of your seats to get it.

- We get the idea, Dad.

Hey, what's that?

Nothing.

What's Daddy gotta do?

Probably change more light bulbs.

You said firemen don't do

that kind of stuff.

Dad's not really

a fireman any more, Emily.

Now a steal by Stevens.

He walks into the Chicago end.

Slap shot!

He... shoots and scores!

Kevin Stevens gives the Penguins

the opening goal.

Get in the fast lane, Grandma.

The bingo game is ready to roll.

Hey!

He doesn't know whether

to cry or wind his watch.

Hey!

- The Penguins have scored.

- Hey!

That one came off Steve Smith, the

Chicago defenseman, and finds the net.

Pittsburgh goal,

his 11th in the play-offs...

scored by number 25,

Kevin Stevens!

Face-off at center ice.

Naslund of the Penguins controls.

He jumps into the Chicago end with the

Penguins leading 1-0 here in game seven.

Mike, as we expected,

the hitting has been ferocious.

Uh, if the smoke bothers anyone,

you just speak up.

There's no reason to kill anyone else.

Nobody's a threat to you.

You know, I voted for you.

I really did.

It's your sincerity

and your compassion.

You happen to be wrong, though. There

may be a reason to kill someone else.

There's bound to be

resistance to my "objective."

I assure you I won't kill

more people than it takes

to convince everyone of my sincerity.

Will you make that cow

stop moaning?

Just...

- What's that?

- An invitation to the White House.

Open it and read it.

Don't, don't, don't.

- Out loud.

- It's nothing but a bunch of numbers.

And they wonder why

this economy's so f***ed up.

Those are the numbers of 13 accounts in

5 U.S. banks belonging to 3 countries...

that our government

has frozen for a variety of reasons.

They represent a total deposit of one

billion, seven hundred million dollars.

Christ, it runs in the family.

During the course of this game, all

that money is going to be released...

and transferred to banks

of my choice.

- That's impossible.

- At least one-third must be moved...

during each of the three

periods of the game.

lf, at the first period's end, deposits

are behind, one of you will die.

If we're still lagging at the end of

the second period, two of you will die.

And at the end of the third period

everyone in this building will die.

- You have no idea of the complexity...

- I had an idea.

I had this idea, and we are gonna

make it work or we're gonna die trying.

You will call the President,

and on flash precedence priority,

he will call the Secretary of State

and Secretary of the Treasury.
