The Taking of Pelham 123 Page #7

- New york city, does not have an acceptable casualty rate.

Now this is your area of expertise,

- what do you suggest?

- I think we should by time.

so far the son-of-a-b*tch

hasn't allowed us to do

that, but this might be the first

time we got through to him.

Chester man here, just confessed

to a felony, 20 minutes ago.

In my opinion, there are people down

there who are alive because of him.

Until we change the

rules or hope runs out,

we should stick with the

situation we have now.

Do what you need to do.

Hey, Garber,. You there?

- Yeah, I'm here.

- Speak up.

I'm here.

- I talked to, god.

- That's good! What did he say.

He said I should trust in him

all others pay cash, how soon

can you get it down here.

From the next station, it would take

them about 5 minutes to walk it down.

No, no, no! I mean you, man.

How long would it take you,

to come down here?

I don't understand.

What do you mean, me?

I mean "you". I want to

meet you, Garber.

If you bring it, I know the

cops aren't bringing it.

Well, you know...

I don't know how I'm going to carry

that money, I mean it must weigh.

f***ing wheel barrow or something.

Why we discussing weight? Shouldn't

you be thinking get the f*** outta there?

- Okay, get the f*** outta there!

- Good! That's progress!

Now look, plan B, your idea...

and part of plan, B is you,

Garber, deliver that money!

Or I kill another hostage, you got that?

You got seven minutes, buddy boy.

You got 6 minutes and

Do it!

- Check.

- And tell that sleeze bag negotiator

to call me when you got the money.

You don't have to do this.

Finally somebody got

their head out of their ass.

Hello?

Hey, how you doing baby?

What are you doing?

What do you mean, what am I doing?

I'm watching the thing. The hostages.

They mentioned you I think, they said

a dispatcher was talking to the terrorist.

Yeah, yeah. They are not terrorists.

They are. If they're down

there waving guns at people.

Right, right listen. You listening?

I'm listening.

Look, I'm the one that... your right

I was the one that was talking to them.

I knew it! I am so proud of you!

After everything, all this. Them trying to fire you

- But...

- and you...

Where are you?

I'm at a, a... heliport.

I'm getting ready to get on the helicopter, they

want me to take the money down to the tunnel.

What?

Are they crazy?

It's real simple, there's nothing to it.

What it is, is he know's

I'm not a cop so he

wants me to come down...

Is it okay if I wait here?

Can I wait here?

They need me to take the money down

there because they know I'm not a cop.

and a...

You know, they saying

they might kill somebody.

Well then somebody has to die.

Because you can't.

Let it out!

I understand, baby!

Listen to me! Listen to me

Just tell, Angela to meet...

when she runs over the hurdle, tell her

to run straight to the hurdle tomorrow

Just like I always tell

her, okay? I gotta go.

You tell her, yourself!

- Now, you listen to me.

- Yeah, I'm listening.

You do what you have

to do, but we need milk.

so on your way home,

I want you to bring a gallon.

Milk, okay?

You promise!

Why a gallon? why not half a gallon?

Just bring a gallon.

A gallon.

Okay, I can get a half a gallon.

I gotta go.

Alright, we can go.

Put your headset on.

You ever do anything like this before?

You know, go in unarmed?

Yes, 2 years ago.

Brooklyn. A robbery.

I got the hostages out.

And the guy, with the gun?

The guy with the gun,

didn't have a role for him.

With the guy with the gun.

It's nice seeing it from this perspective, huh?

You can see what your fighting for.

I love you so much!

Did you hear me?

Yeah.

Would you love me back?

I can't really talk right now.

All you have to say is, "yes."

It's alot less than saying, I can't talk.

I'm having a really

f***ing weird day.

Oh, God!

We'd anticipated this, we could

have made alot of money.

What kind of guy would you

expect to take a model to, Iceland...

- for the weekend?

- An ass, model.

An ass model.

- A wall street, guy.

- A wall street, guy.

1 hour time limit reported

earlier has expired...

We're not sure who this is entering,

it could be hostage negotiator or

a ploice detective.

When we have any

updates, we'll be back live

- Mr. Garber?

- Lieutenant, Sterman.

Pleasure.

The radio set up to the train?

It's set up back there, you can talk

directly to the train or to rail control.

Just do everything he say's and

remember everything you see.

Let's go.

Who the hell did you

f***, to get this job?

Myself.

- It was easier than it looks.

- Yeah?

F***ing yourself always is.

Pelham 1-2-3, come in.

Pelham 1-2-3, come in.

- Who am I talking to?

- This is Lieutenant, Camonetti. We spoke earlier.

Yeah, your the grease ball, what

did you do go out for a pizza?

Where's my money. Where is it?

Mr Garber is in the tunnel.

the money is 2 minutes away.

Mr Garber is a dependable, man.

He's a good man too.

Absolutely. How about you, Ryder?

everybodys got some good

in them, don't you think?

Is this the part where you try to get through

to me? I don't think so mother f***er!

I got 3 instructions for you:

Number 1:
When this conversation is over, I

want you to restore the power to the hull sector.

Number 2:

I want you to clear the local track's from

and when I say clear,

I don't wanna see no cops.

I want all the lights green and don't trip

me up with a red one, you got that?

Absolutely.

And number 3:

Don't play games with me, or I'll track you down

and f*** you and your grease-ball ass, mother f***er!

Over and out!

- You know how to use one of these?

- No.

It's real simple, okay.

Safety's on. safety's off. On,off.

You just aim at anything you don't like

and you pull the trigger, got that?

What if they frisk me?

We got that covered.

That's it?

That's it.

It's got a false bottom,

just gotta do this.

- You got that?

- Got it.

Good.

Don't worry about it.

Just don't f*** it up.

We got an, ID on, Ryder.

Dennis Ford. He was released

from, corrections 2 weeks ago.

Did a 9 year stretch, the last 4 in

the same cell block as, Phil Ramos.

He's name shows up on an, Icelandic

air passengers list in, september of 1998

right after fashion week.

Dennis Ford! You remember?

We used he's case when he

was running as an example...

The kind of nonsense we would clean

up, if I ever get elected, mayor, yeah..

He ran a private equity firm...

he's biggest client was

the city pension fund,

Sifendorff.

bargain for 3, judge gave him 10.

Maybe that's why he's so pissed off!

The judge gave him 10 years because

we didn't recover all of the city's money.

There was a couple of million

unaccounted for, it was the siege money.

- Siege money? For what?

For today. He played the terrorist card.

You panic the market into a drop.

If you know what's coming, you can make

a great deal of money with 2 million dollars.

What about the hostage money?
