The Taking of Pelham 123 Page #8

Are you kidding, that's nothing compared

to the money you can make in the market.

Let's get down town, get to

the, SCC. Check the trades.

We got company.

Garber!

When you put your socks on

this morning, did you ever think...

Turn around, let him frisk you?

I was worried about you...

I thought maybe you'll get lost, then I

remembered, you were a motorman so...

These tunnels don't

change much, do they?

Just the people in them.

We good?

- Looks, good.

- Alright, come on up!

Let's go!

Damn, your taller than

I thought you'd be.

Your good looking too,

come on. Sit down.

It's nice to meet you.

What do you weigh, about, 220?

Err...Yeah, I'm a, 220 on a good day.

Ah, that's, Ramos.

He's what you would have called,

the "brains of the operation."

Dumb f***.

So how long has it been, since

you've driven one of these?

That's why you, brought me down here?

Well your a motorman,

right? once a motorman

always a motarman..

Play your cards right, you

might get part of the cut.

What the f***?

This is a... new train, I'm not

certified on a new train.

But I've got "faith" in you, man.

Let me ask you one question.

You know, that saying, when you

told your wife about the 35k...

how did she react?

- Look, we gotta talk about it?

- Don't be sensitive.

- I'm not being sensitive?

- Did she freak out or what?

She wasn't happy,

but she understood.

- Well that's love, right?

- No, that's marriage...

that's another thing.

So what's the deal? you think

they're going to move the train?

Seems like a possibility...

How we covered

with street level exits

and emergency exits?

I got a blanket on the f***ers!

I got radios cars, manned on every exit...

from 42nd to, south ferry.

We got to go.

Hey, Camonetti!

F***ing grease ball, man.

Hey, grease ball, speak up!

I see red, I don't see green.

What's taking so f***ing long?

The blanket is not tucked in yet. You have

to stall, I need 2 minutes, buy me two minutes.

They haven't cleared the tracks yet.

Mr. Ryder will be up and

ready in less than two minutes.

Okay, we're going to

move forward here, okay!

we're going to move forward

and if we get on to a red signal...

and the brakes trip up,

your friend, Walter Garber's

getting it in the head...

- You got it?

- Yes sir, I got it.

Let's roll, let's roll.

- You are bluffing.

- Yeah, I'm bluffing, man.

You got to say what you got to say.

You thought by coming down here,

you'd be redeemed didn't you?

God bless, Garber.

You're more f***ed up than I am.

The least the same f***ed up.

Come on. Let's go

Let's go, let's go...

Let's go!

She's on the move.

Put some speed on it.

You're playing with fire, my man.

I want to see them green.

Change them to green or I'll put a hole

in, Garber's head right now. Do it!

Believe me, we are

moving as fast as we can.

What happens if they run a red light?

It will trip the brakes.

Coming up on the first one.

Yeah! That's what I'm looking for.

That's what I'm looking for.

Here he comes right now.

Your man, Garber is driving the

train. The sniper confirmed.

So what are you saying, he's

in on it! There is no f***ing way.

The sniper killed, Ramos

he was their driver... so

they probably need, Garber to drive.

When they get to, coney island...

they gonna hit the trip and the

brakes are gonna come on.

- Was that a 33rd?

- Yes, sir.

How far to the signal?

- About a tenth of a mile.

- Stop when you get there.

we're moving out? You got that.

Slowing down now.

Are they slowing down?

They have to, they're coming

up to the signal point.

What is that?

You're the old motorman. You tell me.

- They stopped just below 33rd street!

- What the hell are they doing?

- Why that little stop.

- Train has to stop at signal points.

- Some kind of an override?

- Yeah, yeah...

some kind of an override. That's right.

Here we go, Okay lets

move out. Let's go! Let's go!

Now's the time of running. Which way?

Which way?

She's moving again.

Next stop 28th Street.

- Why that little stop, huh?

- I told you, signal the points.

How do you know they didn't

set the throttle and jump out?

Doesn't matter, doesn't matter,

we've got every exit covered.

There's no where to go.

Listen, the throttle can't be

set, it has to be held...

It's a fail safe, It's a dead mans switch.

If it doesn't have a man's

hand pressing down on it,

the train stops cold. Believe me

they're still on board.

It's going faster.

Emri, up the tracks, come on!

Let's go!

Come on!

Come on!

It's going to derail before

it get's to, coney island.

That's it! That's it! Exit right

there in front of you!

The f***ing train will

pass, cross over now!

- What?

- Come on, move!

Hey!

F*** it! Let's go!

- We need to find him!

- We don't have time. Let's go!

- I love you. I f***ing love you!

- I f***ing love you too!

Hello. Hello.

I'm getting calls...

Cops are seeing passangers on the train.

nobody's in the motorman's booth.

Believe me they're still on board.

Okay. It's alright.

as soon as we pass through the red light

the brakes will stop us automatically.

Yeah, but they're all green!

Four stops away.

Two stops.

- Oh, Jesus.

- The train just stopped.

I really have to go take a piss.

There's no hijackers on

board. Just passengers.

Where was that stop, that

first stop that they made?

Down the 33rd.

- That's where the, roosevelt was built.

- The what?

a derelict tunnel, built

under the, Waldorf hotel.

converse everything on that area.

I want a goddamn parade over it!

Hey!

Let's stay calm.

Hey! Hey!

Hey! Get out, get out! get out!

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

Get out of the way!

Go, go, go!

- 911, operator.

- Hello, hello!

- Here is Walter Garber MTA.

- How do you spell that?

Gar... don't worry about how to

spell it, Just tell, Lieutenant Camonetti...

that, Ryder is headed to

the, manhattan bridge.

Hey, hey!

- Is he in there?

- No, no, no.

- So, where did he go?

- Brooklyn.

He said he couldn't

Wait. He started walking.

F***ing city!

Ryder!

Don't move!

So is this how you thought

the day was gonna end, huh?

When you put your

socks on this morning, huh?

This make you

feel better, Garber?

- That make everything, okay now?

- No!

But it's a start.

Don't move.

Don't move.

Hey!

Garber, baby boy.

I ain't going back to prison.

I don't think you got any

options now or leverage.

Hey, hey!

We all owe god a death, I told you that.

You're wrong, we owe, god life.

Life and that's the life I

gave you back today.

and now you have to

give me something back.

What are you talking about?

You got a gun in your hand,

I want you to use it.

Shoot me. No! Shoot me before

they shoot me or I'm gonna kill you.

I will shoot you,

I don't want to, but I will.

- Hey!

- Thought you cared?

- No.

- You said, Ryder...

Don't you have anyone that cares?

I thought that was you?

- Come on man!

- I'm not going to shoot you.

Alright, I'll give you to ten,

then the deals off.
