the knuckle pin,

and one of us will have to go

down and release the latch.

No. No friggin' way.

I'm not going down there.

It's just outside...

I don't care. Shut up.

I'm not going down there.

Just outside

and down the ladder.

-I'll do it.

-Yeah, you do it.

Look, you go

tell the passengers

to brace themselves.

I'll do that.

We got about two minutes.

You make them count.

Stay calm.

Stay calm, okay? Stay calm.

-Remain calm.

-Why?

I don't have time

to argue with you, lady.

Sit down. Take your seats.

-Everyone, sit down. Sit down.

-I am sitting down.

Yeah!

The chain is caught.

You need more leverage.

I'll get the ax.

Between the train

and the people,

I always knew

it would be the train.

All right. I'm okay.

You all right? Come on.

-Get that door open.

-Everyone okay?

-We gotta get out.

-Open the door.

Stay calm.

Don't get off the train.

Please, listen.

-Get the door open.

-We gotta get out.

Jackson, close the door.

This isn't over yet.

We're still in danger.

Everyone grab a newspaper.

Cover the windows.

Use water, soda, anything.

Mike, this is crazy.

Come on, get some water.

Cover the windows.

-Why are we doing this, Mike?

-Just do it.

We don't know who's out there.

Who's watching.

They tried to kill us all.

-You all right?

-Yeah.

I know you're all scared,

but I need your help.

None of you

can leave, not yet.

Not until I know

everyone's safe.

They murdered innocent people.

They derailed the train.

They did this.

All to find a witness.

Something she has

that they want.

They said

if I didn't kill you,

they would kill

my wife, my son.

But I would never.

I would never do

what these people want.

I need your help.

I need to know

why they want you dead.

-What's your name?

-Sofia.

Sofia.

It's okay. Come here.

I'm not going to let them

hurt you, okay?

Can you show me

what's in your bag?

This? This is what they want?

Do you know why?

Because of Enrique.

It was his.

The guy who threw himself

off the 35th floor?

Ricky didn't kill himself.

You were there when he died?

It's okay. Tell me.

Tell me what you saw.

Ricky was a city planner,

and some nights

he would have to work late,

so I would go to his office

to finish my homework.

I was waiting

for Ricky by the elevator

when these two men show up.

I didn't see their faces,

but they were

looking for Ricky.

I hid 'cause I didn't wanna

get him in trouble.

But they wanted

something from him.

Then all of them

start yelling,

and I hear this noise.

They were hurting him.

I could hear him screaming.

And he tells them

that he doesn't have it,

that it's back at his place.

-You took it.

-Of course I took it.

I wanted to help.

And then I look through the

doorway and I see this guy.

He's holding Ricky,

and he hits him,

and he says something

about being noble.

Noble?

He says that doing the right

thing will get you killed,

and that there's no such thing

as being noble.

And then,

they just...

I didn't know what to do.

I know.

I just took it and I ran.

Why didn't you

call the police?

I couldn't call the police.

The men

who killed him were cops.

My God.

And the next day I just...

I went to a friend's,

and she knew

someone in the FBI.

This guy, Agent Garcia,

he says that

this drive is evidence,

and that I'm a witness.

He says it's not safe for me

in the city anymore,

tells me to catch the 6:25

to Cold Spring,

and they'll protect me.

-You told no one else?

-No.

Your friend trusts

this Agent Garcia, yeah?

I don't know.

Someone out there

wants you to disappear.

And if it's not him... Who?

My God.

Go, go, go.

Move, move, move.

What the hell?

MacCauley.

This is Captain

David Hawthorne.

I'm in command.

Entrance clear.

Let's go, go, go, go.

We have the train surrounded.

There is nowhere

for you to go.

Throw out your weapon.

My men will come aboard.

They will escort

the hostages to safety.

-It's okay. Don't be alarmed.

- You will not be harmed.

This is

normal police procedure.

It's okay.

You will all be safe.

No one will be harmed.

Jesus, there's

a friggin' army out there.

Agent Garcia, come to me.

I need tactical staged

and ready to breach, okay?

-Sir.

-Thanks.

Where's Overwatch?

Overwatch, this is command.

When you get line of sight,

I need to know.

Roger.

-This is bad, Mike.

-It'll be fine, I promise.

MacCauley,

you'have an old friend here.

He wants to come aboard,

and he wants to talk.

Your tag is lit.

We are live

outside the town of Beacon,

where a Hudson

North train has derailed.

No reports

of any casualties yet.

Get back.

Go, go, go. Move back.

Go, go.

We got sound

on Lieutenant Murphy.

According to

our source on the ground,

an ex-NYPD officer

has taken over the train

and is holding

the passengers hostage.

Hey, Mike,

how we doing in there?

Listen, man,

you know how this goes.

We don't work this out, SWAT's

gonna take the train by force.

Come on, talk to me, buddy.

Where's my family?

You said police

were on their way.

They were, man.

I don't know what happened.

Look, we're doing

the best we can.

You don't know

what's going on, Murph.

Then tell me, all right?

Just open the door, let me in.

I'm unarmed. I'm alone.

How many people

you got in there?

Mike, I wanna help you.

You gotta help me out.

If I don't produce results,

they're gonna pull me out.

Now, how many

hostages do you have?

We gotta do something.

Yeah, but what?

What can we do?

Fifteen, 20.

All right, just let some go.

Whoever you want.

How do I know they'll be safe?

The hostages?

There's someone

I need to protect.

Look, if you're worried

about someone's safety,

just send them out with me.

Not yet.

No...

Seven years we were partners.

You always had my back.

Let someone else

have yours for once.

Mike.

Look, I tell you what.

I'll make an exchange, okay?

Release some hostages

and take me instead.

They're coming out.

Come on out.

Come on out.

Come on.

Come on. This way.

Watch your step.

Go that way. Follow her.

All right, stay in line.

Yes, it does appear that

hostages are being released.

It is unclear at this time

how many remain on the train.

-Is that it?

-Yeah. Come on.

All right. Patrol's on

their way to your house.

No sirens.

They have you tagged.

This goes on much longer,

they're gonna board.

They don't want a cop

caught in the crossfire.

Come on, put the gun down.

Jesus, I'm unarmed. Come on.

Tell them

to turn the lights off.

Kill the lights.

Cut the lights.

-Thanks, pal.

-Come on, you know the deal.

We lost audio.

You were right, there is

a witness on the train.

They were supposed to meet

the FBI at Cold Spring.

-FBI? Special Agent Garcia?

-You know?

Hawthorne just pulled

jurisdiction from him.

Hawthorne. That figures.

I want eyes on.

Confirm visuals.

Friendly fire tag

is lit in blue.

Visual confirmed.

Mike, what the hell happened?

I talk to you,

next thing I know
