Seconds to Spare (2002) Movie Script
[upbeat music]
How are you doing, partner?
Blake.
It's been a long time.
[intriguing music]
[scuffling]
[glass shatters]
[moans]
[breathing heavily]
They don't let you keep guns in prison, Beau.
- Don't do anything stupid. - Who?
Me?
BEAU: I'm still DEA.
[scoffs] I used to work there, remember?
I never meant for you to go to prison.
Wait a minute.
I swear to God, , I just wanted you to back off.
Where is he?
Who?
[whimpers] Don't.
Larkin, where is he?
I don't know who you're talking about.
[groans] - Come on!
Don't mess with me!
OK, easy.
He's in Australia.
Where in Australia?
I don't know.
I don't know.
It could be anywhere, man.
It's a big country.
Tell me where he is!
Wait.
Wait.
All right, all right, the truth, I swear to God.
He's in Broken Hill, I swear.
I swear on my mother. Come on, man.
No.
He's in the Outback, someplace called Broken Hill.
Don't do this.
[suspenseful music]
[gun clicks]
[whimpering]
[tense music]
Always keep your eye on the ball, Beau.
[adventurous music]
[birds chirping]
[engine whirring]
Nerve gas--
[muffled conversation]
I want to be sure everybody's clear on what they have to do.
And remember, once the alarms go off,
you've got 30 minutes at the outside
before the police arrive.
Hang on, Larkin, that's not enough time.
What if something goes wrong?
Do your job and nothing will go wrong.
That goes for all of you, do your job,
stay focused, and stick with the game plan.
I don't want to end up in a shooting war.
Is that clear?
Nobody gets hurt on this one.
That's the plan.
Just remember who's running this operation.
Oh, all set to go?
- Mac. - You don't have much time now.
You ought to be getting ready.
You're trying to get rid of us already?
Well, it doesn't do any of us any good
to have you hanging about, does it?
[chuckles softly]
But you can stay if you like.
Did you get what we wanted.
This will get you past any door in the place.
At 10:00 0'clock, the biohazard inspection team arrive
for their monthly walkthrough.
And that's confirmed?
10:00 on the dot.
You'll show up before then, I suppose.
Is that the plan?
Pay him off.
Let's go, gentlemen.
Hold on, I brought you a little something extra.
Latest report on chemical leakage
into the groundwater, signed by the head of the facility
and verified by a government official.
Oh, and an inventory list of everything in the place.
I underestimated you, Mac.
Well done.
Good job, Mac.
Good job.
Well, I think a little bonus is called for, don't you think?
I'm sure we can come to some arrangement.
[intriguing music]
[engine whirring]
[beep]
LARKIN: We're good.
Hands up!
On your knees!
[groans]
Everybody, raise your arms and you'll not be hurt.
Relax, it can be fun.
Move it.
Sit down.
Move!
Move it.
Get a move on.
OK.
Ready.
This is Larno Mining, a facility owned and operated
by the Australian government.
Now once inside, we'll show you why the government
keeps this place a secret.
Let's go!
[dramatic music]
[beeping]
Come in.
Come in.
Hurry up.
We have now taken control of this facility.
If you follow instructions exactly,
you will not be harmed.
Sit down.
Having to use force is regrettable.
But in this situation, the ends do justify the means.
[chatter]
[phone ringing]
Hold it.
Take it back.
ACIA Counterintelligence.
There, right there, freeze that for me.
Well, have you tried to contact them?
Enhance.
Laslovic, Serbian war criminal, drug dealer, mercenary.
Interpol's been chasing him for the past three years.
Yes, all right, sir. We'll take it from here.
Thank you.
When was that taken?
Three days ago at Sydney Airport.
What brings him here?
I wonder.
Put Sullivan on this.
Commander security at Larno Mining has been breached.
I can't contact them by telephone.
Alert the local police.
Tell them to make contact, but under no circumstances
is anyone to go inside that main facility building.
[intriguing music]
OK.
Now you'll see the danger we've all been exposed
to in the name of greed.
[beep]
Chemical weapons from all over the world
are brought here for their disposal.
The government makes millions while risking
an environmental catastrophe.
Nerve agents over here.
Sarius 4, attacks the central nervous system,
the chemical equivalent of a neutron bomb.
It gets rid of the population but doesn't damage property.
These weapons are obscene and dangerous.
Let the countries that created them be responsible
for their destruction.
Our government has no mandate from the people
to allow them here.
Wait a minute.
How's our schedule?
Top side in eight minutes.
[whirring and beeping]
Take cover.
[beep]
[groans]
Check the corridor.
OK.
I'll keep her busy.
Set the timer for 12 minutes.
OK.
[gunshot] - [moans]
MORGAN.
[gunshot]
[alarm rings]
[screams]
It's too late.
There's nothing we can do.
Move.
[sirens wailing]
We all knew the risks.
Nobody was supposed to die.
It happens.
The trick is to make sure it doesn't happen to you.
Move it.
[beeping]
[explosion]
[intriguing music]
ANNOUNCER (ON SPEAKERS): The train
to Sydney departing from platform 2 in five minutes.
All aboard, please.
The train to Sydney departing in five minutes.
[chatter]
So what happened back there?
I don't know.
[sighs] You know, I don't trust Larkin.
We need them.
They've done this kind of thing before, we haven't.
I'm still running things, if that's
what you're worried about.
Yeah, we got less than 30 passengers this time around.
If it gets much worse, they'll cancel the run.
I'll call you back.
Jack, is that you?
Sandy, how are you, mate?
Here, I'd like you to meet my daughter Beatrice.
She's off to University.
First one in the family to make something of herself.
Well, this is a pleasure.
Your dad and I did the Sydney run 1,000 times.
Sandy, yeah, of course, dad's told me heaps about you.
[chuckles]
My wallet, I've left it somewhere.
Well, where were you last?
Excuse me.
Yeah, [chuckles] I can be there by Friday.
What time?
Excuse me, I left my wallet here.
I'll, uh-- I'll call you back.
Sorry.
My wallet, I've--
I've left it somewhere and I thought that maybe--
You mean this?
[exhales deeply] Thank you.
Thank you so much.
My whole life is in this thing.
Yeah, I could tell by the weight.
[both chuckling]
Bob Danvers.
Beatrice Gardener.
Hello.
It's a pleasure.
Block off all the roads within a 50-mile
radius of that facility.
It's already been done.
I've had their airport sealed off
and the police were already on their way
to the railway station. - Good.
Contact our exalted superiors.
Tell them we've got a situation on our hands.
And have Sean come up with an appropriate cover
story for the press.
I don't want anybody starting a panic.
ANNOUNCER (ON SPEAKERS): The train from Broken Hill
to Sydney will depart.
All aboard, please.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Are you OK?
Yeah, I'm fine.
I just-- I wasn't--
I wasn't watching what I was, um--
[chuckles softly] where I was going.
It's all right.
Thanks.
STEWARD: All aboard!
Well, thanks, yeah.
Oh, oh.
Have a safe trip.
Thanks.
[exhales deeply] I'm such a klutz.
Thanks.
Bye.
ANNOUNCER (ON SPEAKERS): The train to Sydney
now departing from platform 2.
[train hoots]
[dramatic music]
Larkin.
Your ticket, sir?
How far are we going?
All the way to Sydney.
Can you give me a one way ticket and keep the change?
First class is this way, sir.
Thanks.
KRISTIN: The local police got there too late
to search the train to Sydney.
HAGGARTY: All right, have them meet
it at the next scheduled stop.
KRISTIN: That's not for four hours, sir.
HAGGARTY: No, no, let's see if we can stop them before that.
Contact the rail authority.
Tell them what we want.
Well, you seem pretty sure.
Well, they didn't show up at the airport.
Nothing turned up at any of the roadblocks.
Unless they went underground, they're on that train.
Put the critical response team on alert.
Who's the duty officer this week?
It's Captain Moran, sir.
Oh.
How is the captain?
He's fine, sir.
Good.
Get him to call me.
Sir.
Anything you want, you just ask Old Jack
and I'll get it for you.
I've worked this run for five years.
Dad knows where they keep the best steaks and the good wines.
My kind of guy.
Listen, Jack, what kind of car do you drive?
The reason I'm asking is I could put you
in a striking powder blue Jag for about half
of what it's worth.
So you sell cars, Bob?
This is my card.
There's my email.
Just tell me what you're looking for
and I'll deliver a car to you in a matter of hours.
I'm impressed.
I think you'll find this satisfactory.
Oh.
Oh, I beg your pardon, miss.
Huh, hello again.
Hi.
I guess I'm in the wrong place, huh?
Oh, I'm so sorry.
You're at the other end of the carriage, sir.
Oh.
Well, welcome to the neighborhood.
Thanks.
Sorry.
I'm really very sorry.
Yes.
Don't Let that happen again.
No, ma'am.
[tense music]
Excuse me.
Here we go, sir.
[beep]
OK.
We've got no apparent contamination at this stage.
Damage assessment?
Seven people dead.
No detectable aboveground leakage of toxic chemicals.
What about the inventory?
Oh, it's impossible to determine whether or not
anything was taken.
You almost done?
Yeah.
I'm just checking the automatic transfer.
As soon as we have the money in the main account,
we can start sending it out to Green Planet
Defense and all the others.
What do you say we have a little fun too?
Do we have to give it all away?
I got a lot of mouths to feed.
Your team is expensive.
My team is worth it.
We use this money properly, we can raise holy hell out there.
You know, there's some pretty powerful people who are
going to be coming after us?
Yeah, well, my father died because powerful people decided
to save their money by dumping their chemical
waste into our groundwater.
We'll make them pay for that.
[beep]
I've been working for this since I was 17,
and now all I can think about is what my father would say.
He meant a lot to you, huh?
Yeah.
And he took such a long time to die, you know?
The cancer ate him, like, a piece at a time.
But even when he was just lying there, unable to move or speak,
he was still fighting.
I owe it to him to see this through.
That's what we're here for, make them bleed.
Cars and people are alike.
I look at someone, I know what kind of car they belong in.
Really?
So what kind of car would I drive?
Not some old bum, I hope.
[chuckling]
You?
If price were no object?
Yeah, I wish.
Ah, but it won't be for long.
She's got a head on her shoulders, this one.
Trust me.
Yeah, but dad, I doubt I'm ever going
to be able to afford a Jag.
I'd put you in a classic, a '65 Ford Mustang,
fire engine red, white leather interior, a car that
says that this girl has style.
She knows where she's going and she knows how to get there.
Cheers.
I'll drink to that.
Wow.
Cool.
Hi.
How are you doing?
Can I show you to a table, sir?
Uh, thanks but I see a nice little corner right over there.
Very good, sir.
Thank you.
Hey, honey.
How are you?
Have you ordered yet?
You just kissed me.
Listen, I'm sorry.
This sounds a little crazy, but I
need those people over there--
don't look, please.
I just need those people over there to believe that you
and I are traveling together.
[chuckles] OK, this is-- this is some kind of joke
that you're playing here?
Don't look, please, please.
Are you serious?
Yep.
Oh, are you a cop or something?
[gasps] What's going on?
May I take your order?
Um, yes, I'll have the fish.
And what about you, darling?
Oh, I'll have the same. WAITRESS: The fish as well?
Thank you.
OK.
[music playing]
That one worries me.
Forget about him.
He's only got one thing on his mind.
I can't say I blame him.
[intriguing music]
I'd really like to know what this is all about.
Hmm, it's a long story.
Oh, I have time.
Mm.
Actually, um, what, um, made you choose
me out of all these people?
You know, I figured you for someone who wouldn't
be afraid to take a chance.
Really?
Huh.
Well, should I be flattered or will you be
kissing other people as well?
[chuckles] Just the ones who signed up.
So are we are we married or are
we just having a torrid affair?
We're in two separate compartments, so--
Ah.
How exciting.
We're lovers and I don't even know your name.
Paul Blake.
Oh.
Rhonda Newcombe.
It's nice to meet you.
[intriguing music]
Moran here, sir.
We've reached Menindee Crossing and we're ready to deploy.
Just give us the word.
I don't want to frighten the passengers
half to death, captain.
Block the tracks and you stand easy.
You let the police take a very polite look inside that train.
You provide support in case anything goes wrong.
Is that clear?
Yes, sir.
[chatter]
No offense to the locals, but they couldn't
find a cow in a phone booth.
Why not let us handle this?
At ease.
You'll get your chance.
Hopefully, you'll be back in time for your weekend
with Ms. Jensen.
[chuckles softly] She's rather upset with me
for giving you this assignment.
Tell Kristin I'll see her bright and early tomorrow
morning.
I will do.
Out.
So do you live in Sydney or did you
just come from another planet?
Close.
Miami.
[chuckles]
And you?
I was born in Sydney but I've been away for a while.
Just going back to see my family.
[exhales sharply] Won't they be surprised when
they see how naughty I've been.
[chuckles]
Are you married?
Um, I was, yeah, but he left me for our dentist.
Ouch.
Yep.
All the time she was doing my root canal, my husband was--
well, you get the picture.
Um, are you married?
Me? Nah.
I'll probably meet the wrong woman
and screw my life up like everyone else.
[both chuckling]
Ah, that's the spirit.
[intriguing music]
What do you do for a living anyway?
I'm sort of between jobs right now.
[chuckles] You see everything in the room, don't you?
Somebody stands up, you see them.
Somebody turns their head, you see it.
Well, you seemed to notice things too.
Mm-hmm.
Ladies and gentlemen, I'm sorry to disturb your lunch,
but I must inform you that we will be stopping
at the Menindee Crossing.
It seems that a vehicle has stalled on the tracks
and we will have to wait until it is moved.
I'm sure it won't take long.
Thank you.
Where's everyone going?
Do we have to go somewhere?
Listen to me.
When the train stops, you're going to have to get off, OK?
What?
Let's go get your bag, come on.
OK, yeah, I don't know if I want to play this game anymore.
PAUL: Come on.
I can't just get off the train.
My family is waiting for me in Sydney.
Look, tell me what is going on.
I'll understand then.
Key, please.
Pack your bag.
OK, wait, wait, hold on.
Game over.
I'm not getting off the train.
I need you to trust me.
[scoffs] Trust you?
Come on, I don't even know you.
Please trust me.
Why?
I can't give you a reason that makes any sense but the best
thing I can do is this, you are a good person,
I could tell the first second I met you.
Call it professional instinct.
Now there are some really bad people on this train.
And when I sat down at your table, I involved you.
OK, now I'm scared.
You're putting us off schedule.
Well, how long will it take to clear the track?
What the-- [groans]
Get him out of here.
Sweetheart, the train is yours.
We're taking over that train!
Move!
Put bags on the table!
Everybody, do as you're told and you'll not get hurt.
Sit!
You, stick!
As soon as they slow down, you're getting off.
Just drop and hug the ground until the train moves on.
Do you understand?
What about you?
There's something I have to do.
To the corner!
Stand still!
You, behind the bar into the center.
You two, get down there.
Sit here and stay down.
[tense music]
Sarge, that's it.
[train whirring]
[whirring intensifies]
What are you doing?
Relax.
I used to run guns by rail in Nicaragua.
I'd do all kinds of things on the tracks,
cars, cattle, even an airplane once.
Doesn't matter what they put out there because this train
has nothing but power, baby.
You are a policeman, aren't you?
Come on, at least, tell me that much.
Just get ready.
You better watch out.
Truck is gonna fly.
[engine turns and stalls]
Yee!
MORAN: Go!
Haa!
Damn.
I love my work.
Right, they're taking over the train.
This way.
This way.
OK.
Listen, lock the door.
Don't let anybody else in, except me.
OK, but what do I do--
Listen, until this is over, I'm going to look
out for you, whatever it takes.
OK.
Be careful.
EVE: What's that?
That is a global positioning system.
Once we let them know we got this little sucker,
they won't be able to divert the train into a spur
without us knowing about it.
[gps beeps]
[chopper whirring]
Eagle Eye in position.
We have the train in sight.
HAGGARTY (ON RADIO): Get in close.
See if you can get pictures of whoever is running that thing.
Will do.
We'll try to contact them by radio.
Find out who they are and what they want.
We'll keep you advised.
Out.
[sighs] Well, there goes your weekend, I'm afraid.
Contact the rail authority.
I want to find out everything we can about that train.
If they get any closer, I'm going to have
to put them on the ground.
[beeping]
Well, I'll be damned.
Eve Lambert, point man for the EDL.
Earth Defense League?
The eco terrorists?
Remember that fire at the Murphy Island Resort?
That was the EDL protecting the ecological balance
of The Barrier Reef.
A bunch of tree huggers with matches.
I don't see them killing anybody.
Do you?
No.
It doesn't make sense.
[dramatic music]
We need to pull the blinds down, every carriage.
Get your hands off her.
Hey, that's enough.
Sit down.
[gasps]
[chuckles]
Move.
OK.
[moans and groans]
[groans]
Happy trails.
It's OK.
It's all right.
It's OK.
Come on, it's OK, trust me.
Come on.
Come on.
Please tell me you're a policeman or something.
Once upon a time, I was DEA, Drug Enforcement Agency.
They're drug dealers?
Is that what these people are?
If I find out, I'll let you know.
Is this all of them?
They sold 28 tickets, including us,
but I could only find 25.
The guy is not here, the one with the blue shirt, the one
I said to watch out for.
I don't see his girlfriend anywhere either.
No.
Come in, number 1.
Are you there?
What's up?
I've got a government official on the line.
He wants to speak to you.
Give him my satellite phone number.
Have him call me direct.
Check.
OK, everybody listen up.
If everybody stays quiet, I promise you,
no one will get hurt.
[intriguing music]
Here.
i want you to stay here and hide.
See if you can get in touch with the police.
That's OK. I've got my own.
Why don't you stay with me?
Better I stay mobile.
I'll be back. - Yeah.
But what if--
Hey, I will be back, all right?
You just stay out of sight, OK?
What do you intend to do with us?
We intend delivering you to Sydney unharmed.
That's provided your government cooperates.
If anything goes wrong, we'll have them to blame.
[phone rings]
Patched in?
Yeah?
This is tactical Commander Haggarty from ACIA.
Would you connect me with whoever's in charge?
Haggarty, you're speaking to Earth Defense League.
Oh, Ms. Lambert.
May I call you Eve?
You can call me whatever you like,
as long as you give me what I want.
May I assume that you're responsible for the destruction
of a certain mining facility?
What are you talking about?
You know damn well what I'm talking about.
Seven people died.
He's lying.
Don't let him throw you.
Are you there? EVE (ON PHONE): Yeah, I'm here.
HAGGARTY (ON PHONE): Did you take anything
with you from that facility?
Well, that's for me to know and you to fear.
What do you people want?
Our demands are simple.
We want $25 million transferred to a bank
account in the Cayman Islands.
That's a lot of money.
That's just the beginning.
Well, nobody's going to give you $25 million,
I can promise you that right now.
Well, it's either that or we start killing people.
Who's your friend?
Never mind him.
You're dealing with me.
And I will not tolerate any attempt
to keep us from our objective.
We have a global positioning system on board
and we will know immediately if you
divert this train off course.
Do you understand me?
Yeah, yeah, I read you loud and clear.
Now I'm going to need something from you up front
just so I know I can trust you.
OK, you've hooked him.
Now just reel him in.
All right, what do you want?
Release the women and children on board.
I'll need something in return.
HAGGARTY (ON PHONE): I'm listening.
I want a live news conference with a single camera feed
to the local networks and CNN.
[scoffs] I can't do that.
That's out of the question.
Nice talking to you, commander.
You can start picking up the bodies along the tracks.
[beep]
What the hell are you doing?
That's not how we negotiate.
Lesson number one, you never negotiate when
you're holding all the cards.
And this just in from the news desk, folks,
your government doesn't care what happens to you.
We're the only friends you've got.
Do you think they're bluffing?
[sighs] If it was just her, I would say yes.
But she's obviously picked up a partner somewhere.
They've already killed seven people.
Let's assume they won't have a problem killing a few more.
[phone rings]
[beep]
Are you there?
Yeah, talk to me.
HAGGARTY (ON PHONE): When you reach Park Station,
I can have a network news team waiting for you there.
Agreed, but I don't want to see
any more people than necessary.
No games.
Now what about the money?
One step at a time.
Keep it clean, Haggarty, and nobody here will get hurt.
I promise you that.
Yeah, I'll get back to you once I get everything arranged.
We'll be here.
[beeping]
What the hell are you doing?
We agreed to hold the press conference
in Sydney, not in some rat hole in the boonies.
It occurred to me that we'd better get our case out
there in front of the people before something
else goes wrong.
[tense music]
And what's that supposed to mean?
That means I'm in charge here.
I make the decisions.
They want to play?
We'll play.
What gives you people the right
to risk our lives like this?
All right, listen to me, all of you,
this planet is under attack.
In fact, it is being killed and the killers
have names and addresses, so we are going to stop them.
You want to change things, do it legally
through the democratic process.
There is no democratic process.
Democracy is dead.
Governments are owned by corporations,
so everything you see and hear in the media
is controlled by them.
We have no choice but to force them to give you the truth.
[gunfire]
Eagle One taking fire from the train,
taking fire from the train.
Copy that, Eagle One.
Are you all right?
We're OK.
Got my heart started though.
Eagle One proceeding on to Park Station.
Out.
Well, that ought to show them we're
not afraid to stir things up.
And was that necessary?
I can't find Walters.
He's supposed to be in second class.
Walters.
Walters?
Maybe there's something wrong with his radio.
Go find him.
O'dell, Laslo, go with him.
And watch yourselves, we're still missing some passengers.
RHONDA: Yes.
No, we're on a train and it's been hijacked.
WOMAN (ON PHONE): You're on a plane?
No, no, no, not a plane. A train.
WOMAN (ON PHONE): I-- I don't--
A train.
[groans]
Hello?
WOMAN (ON PHONE): [discordant speech]
No, I'm sorry, I can't hear you.
Can you-- can you speak up?
You're breaking up.
Clear!
Hello?
Damn it.
[suspenseful music]
Wait a minute--
Just shut up and move this way.
I haven't done anything wrong.
[grunts]
Whoever you are, thank you.
Get in there.
This carriage is clear.
Moving further down.
O'DELL: Let's search again.
What the hell is going on?
Shh.
Listen, there's two of them.
I can take both of them out, OK?
But I need your help.
Mate, no, no, mate. Are you crazy?
Look, I'm not well.
You'd just get us killed.
Maybe we should give ourselves up
and maybe they wouldn't hurt us.
Listen, I want you to make a run for it
toward the rear of the train.
They'll come after you and I'll take both of them
out from behind, all right?
What if they shoot at me?
Duck.
Now go.
Go.
He's in here.
Please, don't shoot.
Don't shoot, please. He's right in here.
Look he just went in.
He just went in.
He's right there.
[gunfire]
He went up on top.
Move.
[beep]
Please, I'm not well.
EVE (ON RADIO): Talk to me.
I'm at the back end of the train.
I'm checking the vehicle carriage.
O'dell, wait till I send someone to help you.
I think I've got him cornered. Out.
EVE (ON RADIO): I said wait.
It's too dangerous--
Wait.
O'dell, are you there?
Morgan, are you in here?
Stay.
Hello, lovely lady.
[breathing heavily]
[groans and moans]
That's a very pretty perfume you're wearing.
Move.
O'dell, are you there?
Stay where you are.
Laszlo is on his way down.
Do you hear me?
[gunfire]
O'dell, answer me.
O'DELL (ON RADIO): I lost him.
Can't find him.
What the hell is wrong with you guys?
All right, listen up, we're going
to stop at the next station.
Guard the rear access and be ready in case
they try to rush the train.
- Got it. - Hey.
[dramatic music]
[scuffling]
[moans]
[yells]
End table.
Repeat, sit.
End table.
Sit there.
Find a good defensive position further down.
Keep an eye on things here.
Come on.
With this tape and these documents,
we are going to bring the government down.
Poisoned groundwater, environmental impact statement
suppressed by the government.
Who cares, Eve?
Those bozos out there, they've heard it all before.
Besides which, the government will deny everything.
Yeah?
Well, let them deny this.
This is reality.
You can see it and touch it.
The people will rise up when they know the truth.
People spend their lives avoiding the truth.
You want them to rise up, you've got to show
them a little hell on Earth.
What are you saying?
I'm saying this is how you get what you want.
Do what we say or we kill you.
[scoffs] Is that what you really believe?
I want to know. Is it?
Is that what you believe?
Time to grow up, Eve.
[radio chatter]
Maybe a couple formations.
As soon as the women and children are off the train,
we'll make our move.
Civilian casualties must be avoided at all costs.
Is that understood?
Understood.
Standard rules of engagement apply.
You fire only when you have clearly identified targets.
All right, the women will be allowed to leave this train
as a gesture of our good faith.
But you have to obey our instructions.
Is that clear?
Women stand, move to rear of compartment.
Move.
Men, stay where you are.
Move.
Come on, hurry.
Where's the boyfriend?
I didn't hear you.
What?
Let her go.
Where is he?
I don't know where he is.
[moans]
All right, get back with the others.
Listen, that guy you're looking for,
I was the one who tipped your men off.
You know, without me, he would have killed them.
And your name is?
Danvers.
Danvers?
What's your claim to fame, Mr. Danvers?
Oh, I sell cars.
[chuckling]
Well, I ought to shoot this guy right now.
Hey, hey, hey, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
It's, uh, not all bad, you know?
I make an honest deal.
You want off this train, Danvers?
Let's be fair.
I helped you out.
The least you can do is just let me off.
All right, all right, tell you what I'm going to do.
You go on up the back there and you pick one of those women
to take your place.
What?
[chuckles]
You go, one of them stays behind.
I can't do that.
Choice is yours.
What are you doing?
Hang on a minute, honey, Mr. Danvers is thinking.
You got 15 seconds to make up your mind, sport.
And your time starts now.
OK, that's decision time, Mr. Danvers.
Who's it going to be?
[tense music]
[breathing heavily]
Her.
Good choice.
You gutless coward.
It's all right, I want to stay.
Let me get my hands on him.
You bastard!
No Jack, wait--
They won't hurt a woman.
They wouldn't dare.
She'll be safe here, you'll see.
I've gotta get off!
I'm not well.
Forget it.
He stays.
He made his choice.
Danvers, think what you're doing.
Get back over here with the rest of us.
No, I can't.
OK, Danvers, take her down.
Don't you dare touch her.
I am warning you.
You should learn something about the people
you're fighting for.
They wouldn't hurt you, I promise.
Don't touch me.
Let me stay.
Beatrice, no.
No.
She stays, we all stay.
- Yes. - Yes.
Yes.
Not what you wanted to hear, is it?
He wants you to believe we're all like him.
It's the only way he can justify his own twisted behavior.
But we all know better, don't we?
Stop.
What has happened to you?
What are you doing?
That one stays here.
All right, whatever you say.
Just don't hurt anybody, please.
[intriguing music]
Hey, boss.
Hey.
Get back there and keep your eyes open, OK?
OK.
If anything looks out of place, let me know.
We're actually going to pull this off.
We are so close.
Please promise me that you won't let
things get out of hand, if I mean anything at all to you.
You mean the world to me, sweetheart.
Without you, I wouldn't even be here.
[intriguing music]
Are you receiving signal?
Visual and audio are clear.
Watch yourself, Tony.
Copy that.
We are good to go.
LARKIN: We have a sniper.
Where?
Top of the station roof.
OK, everybody into firing positions.
They're going to try and take us.
Shoot at anything that moves.
OK.
That lying son of a bitch.
He heard you on the phone, he knew you were soft.
Now we got to earn their respect and the only way
to do that is to hurt them.
Take cover.
This could get kind of messy.
[glass shatters]
Sir, we've got a problem.
I don't think they're going to stop.
Hello, boys!
[explosion]
[shrieks]
Mac.
[gunshots]
[screams]
[gunfire]
Everybody down!
Down!
Cover us.
Moran?
Moran, come in.
Target the freight carrier!

Squad latest, casualty report.
SOLDIER 1 (ON RADIO): Squad one, two wounded.
One fatality.
SOLDIER 2 (ON RADIO): Squad two, three wounded, one seriously.
Branyan.
BRANYAN (ON RADIO): Right here.
Are the hostages all right?
BRANYAN (ON RADIO): One-- one wounded.
And what about our team?
BRANYAN (ON RADIO): Walters, O'dell and Morgan are missing.
I'll handle it.
He's bleeding quite badly.
Don't let me die, please.
You're not going to die, though I doubt
if anybody would miss you.
Let me see.
Move!
Boss, listen up, we've got trouble.
Are you there, Haggarty?
Come on, pick up, you lying son of a--
You didn't leave me any choice.
We had a deal.
All right, what kind of a deal did you make with those people
you killed at the facility?
I don't know what the hell you're talking about.
Well, I'm guessing you didn't go there
just to destroy the facility.
That was probably your friend's idea.
Hang on, you broke your word, Haggarty.
I can't trust you.
What did you take with you when you left that facility?
Something that should never have been developed, Sarius 4.
Look it up.
I'll wait.
[breathing heavily] I'm sorry for what I did.
I'm not worth a damn.
I never was.
Please forgive me.
[music playing]
LARKIN: Let's focus on the job.
Nobody gets distracted.
We're too close for us to stuff this.
I don't know who this guy is, where he comes from,
or what he wants.
We wait for him to come to us now.
Nobody goes after him. Is that clear?
We need more towels.
Not dead yet?
No.
He's still bleeding though.
He needs a doctor.
Well, Dr. Uzi would be happy to fix him up.
You're really enjoying this, aren't you?
You know me.
Two things I love most in the world,
money and inflicting pain.
You put them together, I'm in heaven.
Love a woman who knows how to flirt.
You're pathetic.
ROBOTIC VOICE: Accessing file.
File downloading.
What is the bottom line with this stuff?
Sarius 4 is a fine nerve agent.
Released into the atmosphere, one canister
will kill everything within a five mile radius.
Once inhaled, death occurs within minutes.
We can't let them take that stuff into Sydney.
Reconnect me.
All right, you win.
We're going to transfer the money.
It'll take a couple of hours but you're going to get it.
Thank you.
[phone beeps]
[clears throat]
[phone beeps]
Tactical center.
Stand by.
Sir, police have a man on the emergency line
claiming to be on our train.
Commander Haggarty here.
Who is this?
My name is Blake.
I'm on board a train headed for Sydney.
I'm listening.
We've been hijacked.
I'm assuming you already know that.
How many hijackers?
I'm only guessing but I'd say maybe five or six of them
are left.
You're American?
Is that a problem?
Not yet.
You got a first name, Mr. Blake?
Listen, you can check me out later.
For now, we have to find a way to stop this train.
Who are you?
Paul Thomas Blake, former DEA agent.
(WHISPERS) Check him man.
I've been tracking a guy on this train.
His name is Larkin, Emmett Larkin.
American.
Worked for the CIA.
Well, I'll have him checked out.
But in the meantime, if I call the DEA,
what will they tell me about you?
They'll tell you I've been in prison.
I was set up by Larkin and my former partner.
They were using drug money to fund CIA covert operations.
Tried to shut them down but I ended up
taking the fall for it.
[beep]
What do you think?
Well, he could be one of them on a fishing expedition,
trying to find out what we're up to.
[beep]
I'll have your story checked out.
In the meantime, can you tell me where
to keep the gas canisters?
What are you talking about?
They're carrying canisters of nerve gas,
enough to wipe out a major city.
You didn't know that?
No, I didn't.
If that is true, you got no choice,
you got to hit this train.
Just let me know when and I'll help you in any way I can.
We'll call you back.
Listen, you have to trust me, man.
I've been in these situations before.
I can give you an edge.
We'll call you right back.
[beep]
[beep]
Get Moran and his team in the air.
It's a go.
Sir, perhaps it would be better if we used a fresh team.
You heard my orders, Kristin.
Will you carry them out?
I'm on it.
[chopper whirring]
We're running into heavy crosswinds.
Makes our landing zone even smaller.
I don't know if we can do this, commander.
Stay with them, captain.
We may not get another opportunity.
MORAN (ON RADIO): Will do.
You establish a fail safe point 10 miles
from Sydney's outer suburbs.
KRISTIN: Penrith Marshaling Yards, sir.
[intriguing music]
Chopper coming.
What direction?
From the north, but I can't see it anymore.
All right, they're going to try and drop
a team on the last carriage.
You get back down there and you shoot them down.
And remember, we still got a wise guy out there.
Take care of him too, will you?
For me.
What's going on up there?
They're coming in.
Send Branyan back to join the others.
I need him here.
[sighs]
[gunfire]
He's killed Yates and I'm pinned down here.
Right, stay there.
Hold the line.
Do not let him get past you.
MORAN (ON RADIO): Is that your inside man?
Yeah, Blake.
Looks like he's the real deal.
Everybody stand by!
[gunshot]
[explosion]
[discordant radio chatter]
No.
[explosion]
No!
[sobbing]
[somber music]
No, no, we lost our team.
Well, I don't have any choice.
You got to get that $25 million in place now.
I don't care how you do it.
Just do it.
I'm so sorry.
I really liked him too.
You're relieved.
You let me know when you're ready to come back.
No, sir.
Kristin, go home.
He did his duty.
I want to do mine, sir.
All right.
Sir.
I took them out.
It had to be 10 of them inside that chopper.
And we took out that other bastard's
being given us a hard time.
That's how you deal with these people.
Body count is something they understand.
All those brave men dying for us.
They didn't die for you.
This is what they're after, nerve gas.
You?
You don't mean a damn thing to them.
Laslo, it's time to show them the error of their ways.
EVE: What are you doing?
We'll be passing through Lithgow shortly.
I'm going to show Haggarty what happens
when he doesn't keep his word.
No, we agreed we would never, under any circumstances,
use that stuff.
Shut up.
I am so sick of Joan of Arc routine.
I try to educate you but you don't learn a damn thing.
I'm still in charge here.
No, you aren't.
You were never in charge.
If they don't come up with the money, I'll let you know.
Set the timer.
Toss it.
I won't let you do this.
[chuckles]
Hey.
Do you mind?
Help yourself.
Stop right there.
Go on.
Kill him.
You might like it.
Come on.
[scoffs]
Make yourself useful.
Go back to our cabin.
Get the other three canisters and take them
to the locomotive.
Move.
You, come with me, hmm?
[moans]
Leave her alone.
Surprise, surprise.
Mr. Danvers grows a spine.
You're not taking her.
Is that so, huh?
This is what you call a life-defining moment.
You have a choice here.
You can sit down and shut up or you and I can take a walk
and discuss your problem with Dr. Uzi.
Leave him alone.
He's wounded.
Seems you have a fan club, Mr. Danvers.
Now a moment ago, they all thought you were a worm.
Now you're a hero.
Bet that feels good.
If you sit down, you go back to being a worm again.
What's he going to do?
Please, Danvers.
[ominous music]
[groans]
RHONDA: No!
Please don't!
No!
[gunshot]
[screaming and sobbing]
Anyone else have a problem?
You are truly evil.
Me?
No, I'm just misunderstood.
I'm a nice guy when you get to know me.
My friend here on the other hand, he really is evil.
And he's all yours.
Branyan, anyone else steps over the line, kill them.
[dramatic music]
You used me right from the beginning.
I took you to the next level, babe.
Come on, get through this thing, you'll be one of us.
We can really raise some hell.
I will never be like you, ever.
We'll see.
[beep]
Haggarty.
Yeah, I'm here.
You have to be punished.
We're transferring your money, Larkin.
Yeah, that's right, we know who you are and what you are.
There won't be any place for you to hide.
Just get the money, OK?
If we don't have it by the time we pass through Lithgow,
there won't be a Lithgow.
Damn.
[dramatic music]
[moans]
[chuckles]
[groans]
[beep]
Have you made the transfer?
Transaction KNR--
[discordant speech]
You're breaking up.
I can't hear you.
Here, let me do this.
Get some air.
Go ahead.
Your money's been transferred to the account number
that you gave us.
LARKIN: I'll need to verify that.
[dramatic music]
- Branyan. - Here.
You need to stop Laslovic.
I can't.
Look, you have to do this.
We can still pull this off, but you have to take control.
You're all I've got, Branyan.
Please don't let me down.
Damn it, boy, you heard her.
Get him.
Go.
Well, what are we waiting for?
Let's get off the train while we can.
No, no, we're moving too fast!
Besides, we can't leave that poison gas with these thugs,
can we?
Now, we can do this one of two ways.
You can relax and enjoy yourself, hmm?
Or you can fight me and make it better for me, hmm?
[moans]
Come on, you can do better than that, huh?
[sobbing]
Did you get confirmation?
No, I'm still waiting.
RHONDA: Get off me.
LASLO: I can't.
[moans]
Leave her alone.
I'm taking this back to Eve.
Really?
[gunshot]
RHONDA: [screams]
Rhonda, get out of here.
[gunfire]
[scuffling]
[chuckles] Come on.
[scuffling]
[gunshots]
[groans]
[chatter]
Sarius 4 disperse and become harmless within 12 hours.
But the only way to neutralize it
is to incinerate it with high explosives,
which is pretty much what happened at the mining site.
Why don't you contact Colonel Wallace?
Tell him our situation.
I want to know if that train and everything on it
can be incinerated.
We have 30 people on board.
Kristin, there are 5 million people in Sydney.
Captain Moran and his men died trying
to save those passengers.
Was that all for nothing?
[sighs] We're living in a new world.
Terrorists have to see that taking hostages
is no longer an option.
It's a hard choice.
It's one I hope you never have to make,
but I'll make it to save 5 million people.
[train whirring]
I have to call someone.
Who?
A friend, I hope.
Put me through to Commander Haggarty, please.
Blake, you're still with us.
Yeah, I'm hanging in there.
HAGGARTY (ON PHONE): I'm glad to hear it.
Can you bring me up to date on the situation there?
I took out two more of their men
and we neutralized one of the canisters.
How many canisters did they have?
I'm told they have three more in the locomotive.
We cannot let that train reach Sydney.
You understand what that means, don't you?
It means we're in a rolling coffin.
HAGGARTY (ON PHONE): We have to incinerate the train.
It's the only way we can neutralize the gas,
unless you can get your hands on the canisters.
What is our time frame here?
At your current speed, 20 minutes.
Well, maybe we can separate the locomotive.
I'll do what I can.
Good luck.
[beep]
The military is going to hit this train in 20 minutes.
Oh, my god.
[beeping]
That's it, we are officially rich.
OK, tell him, tell Laslo to leave her.
[chuckles]
Laslo, you having fun yet?
Laslo, what are you doing?
Laslo has left the building.
Who the hell are you?
Think about it, Larkin.
[chopper whirring]
If you're going to just kill everybody,
what's the difference between us and them?
The difference lies with what's in your heart.
We're trying to save lives.
30 people may die because of my actions,
but millions more will live.
The extremists, they're on the opposite side of that equation.
They're so self deluded, that they want to destroy
everything they can't control.
They've lost touch with their hearts,
with their souls, the part that defines us as human.
Whoa!
What are you doing?
I'm rigging a detonator wire.
Now why don't you go back and guard the prisoners?
It's over.
Step back.
You stupid, little girl.
You just never learn, do you?
This thing is kind of sensitive right now.
Anybody who goes near it, it goes off.
So I'm just going to jam the throttle
forward and run this train into Sydney
and nature takes its course.
But you'll die along with everybody else.
Oh, I'll be getting off a little ahead of schedule.
I'll be well clear.
You will never get away with this.
[chuckles] You think in all this chaos, they're going
to have time to look for me?
[gunshot]
Damn!
I will never understand women.
Hurry.
Go all the way to the rear of the train.
BEATRICE: Quickly.
Come on this way.
We need to separate the rest of the cars
from the locomotive.
There is a Mando wheel underneath the coupling
assembly.
That's pretty hard to do while it's moving.
I've heard of it being done a few years back.
All right, you'll couple it and I'll try to stop the train.
OK, be careful.
Yeah.
You look after the other passengers, love.
I'll be back, don't worry.
Dad.
[beeping]
Money in the bank.
Don't touch that.
Eve, don't talk.
He took the last one.
[groans]
[dramatic music]
[gunshot]
There's a small wheel under there.
if we can turn it, the locomotives will separate.
The brakes will kick in automatically.
That's going to take some doing.
[gunshots]
It's no good!
I can't fit in there!
OK, let me try!
No way!
No, look, I'm smaller than you.
I can get further in there.
OK.
[chopper whirring]
I have target vision.
Easy.
You fire at that locomotive when it reaches the middle
of the marshaling yard.
Sir, it's a passenger train.
That's why I'm telling you to target the locomotive.
I repeat, target the leading locomotive.
[gunshot]
[moaning]
[explosion]
PILOT (ON RADIO): I have visual confirmation, target destroyed.
Rest of train is intact.
[cheering]
I can see the passengers getting out.
[chuckles]
Dad.
[sobbing]
JACK: I'm sorry love.
He was a brave man.
[suspenseful music]
[gunfire]
You counting your rounds, Larkin?
How many you got left?
All I need is one.
Hey, who the hell are you anyway?
Paul Thomas Blake, DEA.
Remember me?
[chuckles]
Well, now I get it.
I've always wanted to meet you, Blake.
Well, I've been waiting a long time for this.
Careful what you wish for, pal.
Listen, Blake, you know this is stupid?
We shouldn't be fighting.
We're cut from the same cloth.
You and me, we should be partners.
I don't mind sharing.
And I feel I owe you one.
Now I got a lot of money in an offshore bank account.
I'm happy to go halves with you.
I mean, if you wise up.
This is an airtight room.
It's about the safest place in the city tonight.
Tomorrow, we walk out of here, we're rich men.
[beeping]
And you get your life back.
[metallic clanking]
Hey.
[dramatic music]
- Kill the timer. - No.
You got 30 seconds.
[groans]
Do you know what's going to happen?
You're going to die screaming.
You'd die too.
Yeah, if I have to.
Think what you're doing.
Think what you've done.
Switch it off!
Please.
You switch it off.
[beeping intensifies]
[screams]
[news theme on radio]
REPORTER (ON RADIO): More news on the train
hijacking two days ago.
It's now known the terrorist group responsible
was the Earth Defense League, a radical element
of the anti-globalization movement.
The action was to publicize environmental issues.
A full report--
Liars.
Excuse me, are you waiting for a Mr. Haggarty?
Yes.
He said to say he's going to be delayed
but to give you this.
Oh, OK, thanks.
[soft music]
Have you ordered yet?
Oh, my god.
Oh, I thought you were dead.
Ms. Newcombe, I'm Commander Haggarty.
Oh, hello.
Sorry to have stood you up for lunch.
I figured Mr. Blake would keep you entertained.
Yes, we, uh-- we managed to pass the time.
[chuckles]
You thought about my proposition?
To work for you?
Yeah.
I could use some help tidying up around the office.
I'm sure we'll find something for you to do.
I'll think about it.
You do that.
[captivating music]
It's beautiful, isn't it?
It's paradise.
We have to keep it that way.
Thanks, commander.
Thank you.
You don't really want to work for him, do you?
No, I'll just retire and find myself a nice, rich divorce.
Oh.
Well, I got $500 in the bank.
That's close enough.
Let's get out of here.
[theme music]
[audio logo]
How are you doing, partner?
Blake.
It's been a long time.
[intriguing music]
[scuffling]
[glass shatters]
[moans]
[breathing heavily]
They don't let you keep guns in prison, Beau.
- Don't do anything stupid. - Who?
Me?
BEAU: I'm still DEA.
[scoffs] I used to work there, remember?
I never meant for you to go to prison.
Wait a minute.
I swear to God, , I just wanted you to back off.
Where is he?
Who?
[whimpers] Don't.
Larkin, where is he?
I don't know who you're talking about.
[groans] - Come on!
Don't mess with me!
OK, easy.
He's in Australia.
Where in Australia?
I don't know.
I don't know.
It could be anywhere, man.
It's a big country.
Tell me where he is!
Wait.
Wait.
All right, all right, the truth, I swear to God.
He's in Broken Hill, I swear.
I swear on my mother. Come on, man.
No.
He's in the Outback, someplace called Broken Hill.
Don't do this.
[suspenseful music]
[gun clicks]
[whimpering]
[tense music]
Always keep your eye on the ball, Beau.
[adventurous music]
[birds chirping]
[engine whirring]
Nerve gas--
[muffled conversation]
I want to be sure everybody's clear on what they have to do.
And remember, once the alarms go off,
you've got 30 minutes at the outside
before the police arrive.
Hang on, Larkin, that's not enough time.
What if something goes wrong?
Do your job and nothing will go wrong.
That goes for all of you, do your job,
stay focused, and stick with the game plan.
I don't want to end up in a shooting war.
Is that clear?
Nobody gets hurt on this one.
That's the plan.
Just remember who's running this operation.
Oh, all set to go?
- Mac. - You don't have much time now.
You ought to be getting ready.
You're trying to get rid of us already?
Well, it doesn't do any of us any good
to have you hanging about, does it?
[chuckles softly]
But you can stay if you like.
Did you get what we wanted.
This will get you past any door in the place.
At 10:00 0'clock, the biohazard inspection team arrive
for their monthly walkthrough.
And that's confirmed?
10:00 on the dot.
You'll show up before then, I suppose.
Is that the plan?
Pay him off.
Let's go, gentlemen.
Hold on, I brought you a little something extra.
Latest report on chemical leakage
into the groundwater, signed by the head of the facility
and verified by a government official.
Oh, and an inventory list of everything in the place.
I underestimated you, Mac.
Well done.
Good job, Mac.
Good job.
Well, I think a little bonus is called for, don't you think?
I'm sure we can come to some arrangement.
[intriguing music]
[engine whirring]
[beep]
LARKIN: We're good.
Hands up!
On your knees!
[groans]
Everybody, raise your arms and you'll not be hurt.
Relax, it can be fun.
Move it.
Sit down.
Move!
Move it.
Get a move on.
OK.
Ready.
This is Larno Mining, a facility owned and operated
by the Australian government.
Now once inside, we'll show you why the government
keeps this place a secret.
Let's go!
[dramatic music]
[beeping]
Come in.
Come in.
Hurry up.
We have now taken control of this facility.
If you follow instructions exactly,
you will not be harmed.
Sit down.
Having to use force is regrettable.
But in this situation, the ends do justify the means.
[chatter]
[phone ringing]
Hold it.
Take it back.
ACIA Counterintelligence.
There, right there, freeze that for me.
Well, have you tried to contact them?
Enhance.
Laslovic, Serbian war criminal, drug dealer, mercenary.
Interpol's been chasing him for the past three years.
Yes, all right, sir. We'll take it from here.
Thank you.
When was that taken?
Three days ago at Sydney Airport.
What brings him here?
I wonder.
Put Sullivan on this.
Commander security at Larno Mining has been breached.
I can't contact them by telephone.
Alert the local police.
Tell them to make contact, but under no circumstances
is anyone to go inside that main facility building.
[intriguing music]
OK.
Now you'll see the danger we've all been exposed
to in the name of greed.
[beep]
Chemical weapons from all over the world
are brought here for their disposal.
The government makes millions while risking
an environmental catastrophe.
Nerve agents over here.
Sarius 4, attacks the central nervous system,
the chemical equivalent of a neutron bomb.
It gets rid of the population but doesn't damage property.
These weapons are obscene and dangerous.
Let the countries that created them be responsible
for their destruction.
Our government has no mandate from the people
to allow them here.
Wait a minute.
How's our schedule?
Top side in eight minutes.
[whirring and beeping]
Take cover.
[beep]
[groans]
Check the corridor.
OK.
I'll keep her busy.
Set the timer for 12 minutes.
OK.
[gunshot] - [moans]
MORGAN.
[gunshot]
[alarm rings]
[screams]
It's too late.
There's nothing we can do.
Move.
[sirens wailing]
We all knew the risks.
Nobody was supposed to die.
It happens.
The trick is to make sure it doesn't happen to you.
Move it.
[beeping]
[explosion]
[intriguing music]
ANNOUNCER (ON SPEAKERS): The train
to Sydney departing from platform 2 in five minutes.
All aboard, please.
The train to Sydney departing in five minutes.
[chatter]
So what happened back there?
I don't know.
[sighs] You know, I don't trust Larkin.
We need them.
They've done this kind of thing before, we haven't.
I'm still running things, if that's
what you're worried about.
Yeah, we got less than 30 passengers this time around.
If it gets much worse, they'll cancel the run.
I'll call you back.
Jack, is that you?
Sandy, how are you, mate?
Here, I'd like you to meet my daughter Beatrice.
She's off to University.
First one in the family to make something of herself.
Well, this is a pleasure.
Your dad and I did the Sydney run 1,000 times.
Sandy, yeah, of course, dad's told me heaps about you.
[chuckles]
My wallet, I've left it somewhere.
Well, where were you last?
Excuse me.
Yeah, [chuckles] I can be there by Friday.
What time?
Excuse me, I left my wallet here.
I'll, uh-- I'll call you back.
Sorry.
My wallet, I've--
I've left it somewhere and I thought that maybe--
You mean this?
[exhales deeply] Thank you.
Thank you so much.
My whole life is in this thing.
Yeah, I could tell by the weight.
[both chuckling]
Bob Danvers.
Beatrice Gardener.
Hello.
It's a pleasure.
Block off all the roads within a 50-mile
radius of that facility.
It's already been done.
I've had their airport sealed off
and the police were already on their way
to the railway station. - Good.
Contact our exalted superiors.
Tell them we've got a situation on our hands.
And have Sean come up with an appropriate cover
story for the press.
I don't want anybody starting a panic.
ANNOUNCER (ON SPEAKERS): The train from Broken Hill
to Sydney will depart.
All aboard, please.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Are you OK?
Yeah, I'm fine.
I just-- I wasn't--
I wasn't watching what I was, um--
[chuckles softly] where I was going.
It's all right.
Thanks.
STEWARD: All aboard!
Well, thanks, yeah.
Oh, oh.
Have a safe trip.
Thanks.
[exhales deeply] I'm such a klutz.
Thanks.
Bye.
ANNOUNCER (ON SPEAKERS): The train to Sydney
now departing from platform 2.
[train hoots]
[dramatic music]
Larkin.
Your ticket, sir?
How far are we going?
All the way to Sydney.
Can you give me a one way ticket and keep the change?
First class is this way, sir.
Thanks.
KRISTIN: The local police got there too late
to search the train to Sydney.
HAGGARTY: All right, have them meet
it at the next scheduled stop.
KRISTIN: That's not for four hours, sir.
HAGGARTY: No, no, let's see if we can stop them before that.
Contact the rail authority.
Tell them what we want.
Well, you seem pretty sure.
Well, they didn't show up at the airport.
Nothing turned up at any of the roadblocks.
Unless they went underground, they're on that train.
Put the critical response team on alert.
Who's the duty officer this week?
It's Captain Moran, sir.
Oh.
How is the captain?
He's fine, sir.
Good.
Get him to call me.
Sir.
Anything you want, you just ask Old Jack
and I'll get it for you.
I've worked this run for five years.
Dad knows where they keep the best steaks and the good wines.
My kind of guy.
Listen, Jack, what kind of car do you drive?
The reason I'm asking is I could put you
in a striking powder blue Jag for about half
of what it's worth.
So you sell cars, Bob?
This is my card.
There's my email.
Just tell me what you're looking for
and I'll deliver a car to you in a matter of hours.
I'm impressed.
I think you'll find this satisfactory.
Oh.
Oh, I beg your pardon, miss.
Huh, hello again.
Hi.
I guess I'm in the wrong place, huh?
Oh, I'm so sorry.
You're at the other end of the carriage, sir.
Oh.
Well, welcome to the neighborhood.
Thanks.
Sorry.
I'm really very sorry.
Yes.
Don't Let that happen again.
No, ma'am.
[tense music]
Excuse me.
Here we go, sir.
[beep]
OK.
We've got no apparent contamination at this stage.
Damage assessment?
Seven people dead.
No detectable aboveground leakage of toxic chemicals.
What about the inventory?
Oh, it's impossible to determine whether or not
anything was taken.
You almost done?
Yeah.
I'm just checking the automatic transfer.
As soon as we have the money in the main account,
we can start sending it out to Green Planet
Defense and all the others.
What do you say we have a little fun too?
Do we have to give it all away?
I got a lot of mouths to feed.
Your team is expensive.
My team is worth it.
We use this money properly, we can raise holy hell out there.
You know, there's some pretty powerful people who are
going to be coming after us?
Yeah, well, my father died because powerful people decided
to save their money by dumping their chemical
waste into our groundwater.
We'll make them pay for that.
[beep]
I've been working for this since I was 17,
and now all I can think about is what my father would say.
He meant a lot to you, huh?
Yeah.
And he took such a long time to die, you know?
The cancer ate him, like, a piece at a time.
But even when he was just lying there, unable to move or speak,
he was still fighting.
I owe it to him to see this through.
That's what we're here for, make them bleed.
Cars and people are alike.
I look at someone, I know what kind of car they belong in.
Really?
So what kind of car would I drive?
Not some old bum, I hope.
[chuckling]
You?
If price were no object?
Yeah, I wish.
Ah, but it won't be for long.
She's got a head on her shoulders, this one.
Trust me.
Yeah, but dad, I doubt I'm ever going
to be able to afford a Jag.
I'd put you in a classic, a '65 Ford Mustang,
fire engine red, white leather interior, a car that
says that this girl has style.
She knows where she's going and she knows how to get there.
Cheers.
I'll drink to that.
Wow.
Cool.
Hi.
How are you doing?
Can I show you to a table, sir?
Uh, thanks but I see a nice little corner right over there.
Very good, sir.
Thank you.
Hey, honey.
How are you?
Have you ordered yet?
You just kissed me.
Listen, I'm sorry.
This sounds a little crazy, but I
need those people over there--
don't look, please.
I just need those people over there to believe that you
and I are traveling together.
[chuckles] OK, this is-- this is some kind of joke
that you're playing here?
Don't look, please, please.
Are you serious?
Yep.
Oh, are you a cop or something?
[gasps] What's going on?
May I take your order?
Um, yes, I'll have the fish.
And what about you, darling?
Oh, I'll have the same. WAITRESS: The fish as well?
Thank you.
OK.
[music playing]
That one worries me.
Forget about him.
He's only got one thing on his mind.
I can't say I blame him.
[intriguing music]
I'd really like to know what this is all about.
Hmm, it's a long story.
Oh, I have time.
Mm.
Actually, um, what, um, made you choose
me out of all these people?
You know, I figured you for someone who wouldn't
be afraid to take a chance.
Really?
Huh.
Well, should I be flattered or will you be
kissing other people as well?
[chuckles] Just the ones who signed up.
So are we are we married or are
we just having a torrid affair?
We're in two separate compartments, so--
Ah.
How exciting.
We're lovers and I don't even know your name.
Paul Blake.
Oh.
Rhonda Newcombe.
It's nice to meet you.
[intriguing music]
Moran here, sir.
We've reached Menindee Crossing and we're ready to deploy.
Just give us the word.
I don't want to frighten the passengers
half to death, captain.
Block the tracks and you stand easy.
You let the police take a very polite look inside that train.
You provide support in case anything goes wrong.
Is that clear?
Yes, sir.
[chatter]
No offense to the locals, but they couldn't
find a cow in a phone booth.
Why not let us handle this?
At ease.
You'll get your chance.
Hopefully, you'll be back in time for your weekend
with Ms. Jensen.
[chuckles softly] She's rather upset with me
for giving you this assignment.
Tell Kristin I'll see her bright and early tomorrow
morning.
I will do.
Out.
So do you live in Sydney or did you
just come from another planet?
Close.
Miami.
[chuckles]
And you?
I was born in Sydney but I've been away for a while.
Just going back to see my family.
[exhales sharply] Won't they be surprised when
they see how naughty I've been.
[chuckles]
Are you married?
Um, I was, yeah, but he left me for our dentist.
Ouch.
Yep.
All the time she was doing my root canal, my husband was--
well, you get the picture.
Um, are you married?
Me? Nah.
I'll probably meet the wrong woman
and screw my life up like everyone else.
[both chuckling]
Ah, that's the spirit.
[intriguing music]
What do you do for a living anyway?
I'm sort of between jobs right now.
[chuckles] You see everything in the room, don't you?
Somebody stands up, you see them.
Somebody turns their head, you see it.
Well, you seemed to notice things too.
Mm-hmm.
Ladies and gentlemen, I'm sorry to disturb your lunch,
but I must inform you that we will be stopping
at the Menindee Crossing.
It seems that a vehicle has stalled on the tracks
and we will have to wait until it is moved.
I'm sure it won't take long.
Thank you.
Where's everyone going?
Do we have to go somewhere?
Listen to me.
When the train stops, you're going to have to get off, OK?
What?
Let's go get your bag, come on.
OK, yeah, I don't know if I want to play this game anymore.
PAUL: Come on.
I can't just get off the train.
My family is waiting for me in Sydney.
Look, tell me what is going on.
I'll understand then.
Key, please.
Pack your bag.
OK, wait, wait, hold on.
Game over.
I'm not getting off the train.
I need you to trust me.
[scoffs] Trust you?
Come on, I don't even know you.
Please trust me.
Why?
I can't give you a reason that makes any sense but the best
thing I can do is this, you are a good person,
I could tell the first second I met you.
Call it professional instinct.
Now there are some really bad people on this train.
And when I sat down at your table, I involved you.
OK, now I'm scared.
You're putting us off schedule.
Well, how long will it take to clear the track?
What the-- [groans]
Get him out of here.
Sweetheart, the train is yours.
We're taking over that train!
Move!
Put bags on the table!
Everybody, do as you're told and you'll not get hurt.
Sit!
You, stick!
As soon as they slow down, you're getting off.
Just drop and hug the ground until the train moves on.
Do you understand?
What about you?
There's something I have to do.
To the corner!
Stand still!
You, behind the bar into the center.
You two, get down there.
Sit here and stay down.
[tense music]
Sarge, that's it.
[train whirring]
[whirring intensifies]
What are you doing?
Relax.
I used to run guns by rail in Nicaragua.
I'd do all kinds of things on the tracks,
cars, cattle, even an airplane once.
Doesn't matter what they put out there because this train
has nothing but power, baby.
You are a policeman, aren't you?
Come on, at least, tell me that much.
Just get ready.
You better watch out.
Truck is gonna fly.
[engine turns and stalls]
Yee!
MORAN: Go!
Haa!
Damn.
I love my work.
Right, they're taking over the train.
This way.
This way.
OK.
Listen, lock the door.
Don't let anybody else in, except me.
OK, but what do I do--
Listen, until this is over, I'm going to look
out for you, whatever it takes.
OK.
Be careful.
EVE: What's that?
That is a global positioning system.
Once we let them know we got this little sucker,
they won't be able to divert the train into a spur
without us knowing about it.
[gps beeps]
[chopper whirring]
Eagle Eye in position.
We have the train in sight.
HAGGARTY (ON RADIO): Get in close.
See if you can get pictures of whoever is running that thing.
Will do.
We'll try to contact them by radio.
Find out who they are and what they want.
We'll keep you advised.
Out.
[sighs] Well, there goes your weekend, I'm afraid.
Contact the rail authority.
I want to find out everything we can about that train.
If they get any closer, I'm going to have
to put them on the ground.
[beeping]
Well, I'll be damned.
Eve Lambert, point man for the EDL.
Earth Defense League?
The eco terrorists?
Remember that fire at the Murphy Island Resort?
That was the EDL protecting the ecological balance
of The Barrier Reef.
A bunch of tree huggers with matches.
I don't see them killing anybody.
Do you?
No.
It doesn't make sense.
[dramatic music]
We need to pull the blinds down, every carriage.
Get your hands off her.
Hey, that's enough.
Sit down.
[gasps]
[chuckles]
Move.
OK.
[moans and groans]
[groans]
Happy trails.
It's OK.
It's all right.
It's OK.
Come on, it's OK, trust me.
Come on.
Come on.
Please tell me you're a policeman or something.
Once upon a time, I was DEA, Drug Enforcement Agency.
They're drug dealers?
Is that what these people are?
If I find out, I'll let you know.
Is this all of them?
They sold 28 tickets, including us,
but I could only find 25.
The guy is not here, the one with the blue shirt, the one
I said to watch out for.
I don't see his girlfriend anywhere either.
No.
Come in, number 1.
Are you there?
What's up?
I've got a government official on the line.
He wants to speak to you.
Give him my satellite phone number.
Have him call me direct.
Check.
OK, everybody listen up.
If everybody stays quiet, I promise you,
no one will get hurt.
[intriguing music]
Here.
i want you to stay here and hide.
See if you can get in touch with the police.
That's OK. I've got my own.
Why don't you stay with me?
Better I stay mobile.
I'll be back. - Yeah.
But what if--
Hey, I will be back, all right?
You just stay out of sight, OK?
What do you intend to do with us?
We intend delivering you to Sydney unharmed.
That's provided your government cooperates.
If anything goes wrong, we'll have them to blame.
[phone rings]
Patched in?
Yeah?
This is tactical Commander Haggarty from ACIA.
Would you connect me with whoever's in charge?
Haggarty, you're speaking to Earth Defense League.
Oh, Ms. Lambert.
May I call you Eve?
You can call me whatever you like,
as long as you give me what I want.
May I assume that you're responsible for the destruction
of a certain mining facility?
What are you talking about?
You know damn well what I'm talking about.
Seven people died.
He's lying.
Don't let him throw you.
Are you there? EVE (ON PHONE): Yeah, I'm here.
HAGGARTY (ON PHONE): Did you take anything
with you from that facility?
Well, that's for me to know and you to fear.
What do you people want?
Our demands are simple.
We want $25 million transferred to a bank
account in the Cayman Islands.
That's a lot of money.
That's just the beginning.
Well, nobody's going to give you $25 million,
I can promise you that right now.
Well, it's either that or we start killing people.
Who's your friend?
Never mind him.
You're dealing with me.
And I will not tolerate any attempt
to keep us from our objective.
We have a global positioning system on board
and we will know immediately if you
divert this train off course.
Do you understand me?
Yeah, yeah, I read you loud and clear.
Now I'm going to need something from you up front
just so I know I can trust you.
OK, you've hooked him.
Now just reel him in.
All right, what do you want?
Release the women and children on board.
I'll need something in return.
HAGGARTY (ON PHONE): I'm listening.
I want a live news conference with a single camera feed
to the local networks and CNN.
[scoffs] I can't do that.
That's out of the question.
Nice talking to you, commander.
You can start picking up the bodies along the tracks.
[beep]
What the hell are you doing?
That's not how we negotiate.
Lesson number one, you never negotiate when
you're holding all the cards.
And this just in from the news desk, folks,
your government doesn't care what happens to you.
We're the only friends you've got.
Do you think they're bluffing?
[sighs] If it was just her, I would say yes.
But she's obviously picked up a partner somewhere.
They've already killed seven people.
Let's assume they won't have a problem killing a few more.
[phone rings]
[beep]
Are you there?
Yeah, talk to me.
HAGGARTY (ON PHONE): When you reach Park Station,
I can have a network news team waiting for you there.
Agreed, but I don't want to see
any more people than necessary.
No games.
Now what about the money?
One step at a time.
Keep it clean, Haggarty, and nobody here will get hurt.
I promise you that.
Yeah, I'll get back to you once I get everything arranged.
We'll be here.
[beeping]
What the hell are you doing?
We agreed to hold the press conference
in Sydney, not in some rat hole in the boonies.
It occurred to me that we'd better get our case out
there in front of the people before something
else goes wrong.
[tense music]
And what's that supposed to mean?
That means I'm in charge here.
I make the decisions.
They want to play?
We'll play.
What gives you people the right
to risk our lives like this?
All right, listen to me, all of you,
this planet is under attack.
In fact, it is being killed and the killers
have names and addresses, so we are going to stop them.
You want to change things, do it legally
through the democratic process.
There is no democratic process.
Democracy is dead.
Governments are owned by corporations,
so everything you see and hear in the media
is controlled by them.
We have no choice but to force them to give you the truth.
[gunfire]
Eagle One taking fire from the train,
taking fire from the train.
Copy that, Eagle One.
Are you all right?
We're OK.
Got my heart started though.
Eagle One proceeding on to Park Station.
Out.
Well, that ought to show them we're
not afraid to stir things up.
And was that necessary?
I can't find Walters.
He's supposed to be in second class.
Walters.
Walters?
Maybe there's something wrong with his radio.
Go find him.
O'dell, Laslo, go with him.
And watch yourselves, we're still missing some passengers.
RHONDA: Yes.
No, we're on a train and it's been hijacked.
WOMAN (ON PHONE): You're on a plane?
No, no, no, not a plane. A train.
WOMAN (ON PHONE): I-- I don't--
A train.
[groans]
Hello?
WOMAN (ON PHONE): [discordant speech]
No, I'm sorry, I can't hear you.
Can you-- can you speak up?
You're breaking up.
Clear!
Hello?
Damn it.
[suspenseful music]
Wait a minute--
Just shut up and move this way.
I haven't done anything wrong.
[grunts]
Whoever you are, thank you.
Get in there.
This carriage is clear.
Moving further down.
O'DELL: Let's search again.
What the hell is going on?
Shh.
Listen, there's two of them.
I can take both of them out, OK?
But I need your help.
Mate, no, no, mate. Are you crazy?
Look, I'm not well.
You'd just get us killed.
Maybe we should give ourselves up
and maybe they wouldn't hurt us.
Listen, I want you to make a run for it
toward the rear of the train.
They'll come after you and I'll take both of them
out from behind, all right?
What if they shoot at me?
Duck.
Now go.
Go.
He's in here.
Please, don't shoot.
Don't shoot, please. He's right in here.
Look he just went in.
He just went in.
He's right there.
[gunfire]
He went up on top.
Move.
[beep]
Please, I'm not well.
EVE (ON RADIO): Talk to me.
I'm at the back end of the train.
I'm checking the vehicle carriage.
O'dell, wait till I send someone to help you.
I think I've got him cornered. Out.
EVE (ON RADIO): I said wait.
It's too dangerous--
Wait.
O'dell, are you there?
Morgan, are you in here?
Stay.
Hello, lovely lady.
[breathing heavily]
[groans and moans]
That's a very pretty perfume you're wearing.
Move.
O'dell, are you there?
Stay where you are.
Laszlo is on his way down.
Do you hear me?
[gunfire]
O'dell, answer me.
O'DELL (ON RADIO): I lost him.
Can't find him.
What the hell is wrong with you guys?
All right, listen up, we're going
to stop at the next station.
Guard the rear access and be ready in case
they try to rush the train.
- Got it. - Hey.
[dramatic music]
[scuffling]
[moans]
[yells]
End table.
Repeat, sit.
End table.
Sit there.
Find a good defensive position further down.
Keep an eye on things here.
Come on.
With this tape and these documents,
we are going to bring the government down.
Poisoned groundwater, environmental impact statement
suppressed by the government.
Who cares, Eve?
Those bozos out there, they've heard it all before.
Besides which, the government will deny everything.
Yeah?
Well, let them deny this.
This is reality.
You can see it and touch it.
The people will rise up when they know the truth.
People spend their lives avoiding the truth.
You want them to rise up, you've got to show
them a little hell on Earth.
What are you saying?
I'm saying this is how you get what you want.
Do what we say or we kill you.
[scoffs] Is that what you really believe?
I want to know. Is it?
Is that what you believe?
Time to grow up, Eve.
[radio chatter]
Maybe a couple formations.
As soon as the women and children are off the train,
we'll make our move.
Civilian casualties must be avoided at all costs.
Is that understood?
Understood.
Standard rules of engagement apply.
You fire only when you have clearly identified targets.
All right, the women will be allowed to leave this train
as a gesture of our good faith.
But you have to obey our instructions.
Is that clear?
Women stand, move to rear of compartment.
Move.
Men, stay where you are.
Move.
Come on, hurry.
Where's the boyfriend?
I didn't hear you.
What?
Let her go.
Where is he?
I don't know where he is.
[moans]
All right, get back with the others.
Listen, that guy you're looking for,
I was the one who tipped your men off.
You know, without me, he would have killed them.
And your name is?
Danvers.
Danvers?
What's your claim to fame, Mr. Danvers?
Oh, I sell cars.
[chuckling]
Well, I ought to shoot this guy right now.
Hey, hey, hey, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
It's, uh, not all bad, you know?
I make an honest deal.
You want off this train, Danvers?
Let's be fair.
I helped you out.
The least you can do is just let me off.
All right, all right, tell you what I'm going to do.
You go on up the back there and you pick one of those women
to take your place.
What?
[chuckles]
You go, one of them stays behind.
I can't do that.
Choice is yours.
What are you doing?
Hang on a minute, honey, Mr. Danvers is thinking.
You got 15 seconds to make up your mind, sport.
And your time starts now.
OK, that's decision time, Mr. Danvers.
Who's it going to be?
[tense music]
[breathing heavily]
Her.
Good choice.
You gutless coward.
It's all right, I want to stay.
Let me get my hands on him.
You bastard!
No Jack, wait--
They won't hurt a woman.
They wouldn't dare.
She'll be safe here, you'll see.
I've gotta get off!
I'm not well.
Forget it.
He stays.
He made his choice.
Danvers, think what you're doing.
Get back over here with the rest of us.
No, I can't.
OK, Danvers, take her down.
Don't you dare touch her.
I am warning you.
You should learn something about the people
you're fighting for.
They wouldn't hurt you, I promise.
Don't touch me.
Let me stay.
Beatrice, no.
No.
She stays, we all stay.
- Yes. - Yes.
Yes.
Not what you wanted to hear, is it?
He wants you to believe we're all like him.
It's the only way he can justify his own twisted behavior.
But we all know better, don't we?
Stop.
What has happened to you?
What are you doing?
That one stays here.
All right, whatever you say.
Just don't hurt anybody, please.
[intriguing music]
Hey, boss.
Hey.
Get back there and keep your eyes open, OK?
OK.
If anything looks out of place, let me know.
We're actually going to pull this off.
We are so close.
Please promise me that you won't let
things get out of hand, if I mean anything at all to you.
You mean the world to me, sweetheart.
Without you, I wouldn't even be here.
[intriguing music]
Are you receiving signal?
Visual and audio are clear.
Watch yourself, Tony.
Copy that.
We are good to go.
LARKIN: We have a sniper.
Where?
Top of the station roof.
OK, everybody into firing positions.
They're going to try and take us.
Shoot at anything that moves.
OK.
That lying son of a bitch.
He heard you on the phone, he knew you were soft.
Now we got to earn their respect and the only way
to do that is to hurt them.
Take cover.
This could get kind of messy.
[glass shatters]
Sir, we've got a problem.
I don't think they're going to stop.
Hello, boys!
[explosion]
[shrieks]
Mac.
[gunshots]
[screams]
[gunfire]
Everybody down!
Down!
Cover us.
Moran?
Moran, come in.
Target the freight carrier!

Squad latest, casualty report.
SOLDIER 1 (ON RADIO): Squad one, two wounded.
One fatality.
SOLDIER 2 (ON RADIO): Squad two, three wounded, one seriously.
Branyan.
BRANYAN (ON RADIO): Right here.
Are the hostages all right?
BRANYAN (ON RADIO): One-- one wounded.
And what about our team?
BRANYAN (ON RADIO): Walters, O'dell and Morgan are missing.
I'll handle it.
He's bleeding quite badly.
Don't let me die, please.
You're not going to die, though I doubt
if anybody would miss you.
Let me see.
Move!
Boss, listen up, we've got trouble.
Are you there, Haggarty?
Come on, pick up, you lying son of a--
You didn't leave me any choice.
We had a deal.
All right, what kind of a deal did you make with those people
you killed at the facility?
I don't know what the hell you're talking about.
Well, I'm guessing you didn't go there
just to destroy the facility.
That was probably your friend's idea.
Hang on, you broke your word, Haggarty.
I can't trust you.
What did you take with you when you left that facility?
Something that should never have been developed, Sarius 4.
Look it up.
I'll wait.
[breathing heavily] I'm sorry for what I did.
I'm not worth a damn.
I never was.
Please forgive me.
[music playing]
LARKIN: Let's focus on the job.
Nobody gets distracted.
We're too close for us to stuff this.
I don't know who this guy is, where he comes from,
or what he wants.
We wait for him to come to us now.
Nobody goes after him. Is that clear?
We need more towels.
Not dead yet?
No.
He's still bleeding though.
He needs a doctor.
Well, Dr. Uzi would be happy to fix him up.
You're really enjoying this, aren't you?
You know me.
Two things I love most in the world,
money and inflicting pain.
You put them together, I'm in heaven.
Love a woman who knows how to flirt.
You're pathetic.
ROBOTIC VOICE: Accessing file.
File downloading.
What is the bottom line with this stuff?
Sarius 4 is a fine nerve agent.
Released into the atmosphere, one canister
will kill everything within a five mile radius.
Once inhaled, death occurs within minutes.
We can't let them take that stuff into Sydney.
Reconnect me.
All right, you win.
We're going to transfer the money.
It'll take a couple of hours but you're going to get it.
Thank you.
[phone beeps]
[clears throat]
[phone beeps]
Tactical center.
Stand by.
Sir, police have a man on the emergency line
claiming to be on our train.
Commander Haggarty here.
Who is this?
My name is Blake.
I'm on board a train headed for Sydney.
I'm listening.
We've been hijacked.
I'm assuming you already know that.
How many hijackers?
I'm only guessing but I'd say maybe five or six of them
are left.
You're American?
Is that a problem?
Not yet.
You got a first name, Mr. Blake?
Listen, you can check me out later.
For now, we have to find a way to stop this train.
Who are you?
Paul Thomas Blake, former DEA agent.
(WHISPERS) Check him man.
I've been tracking a guy on this train.
His name is Larkin, Emmett Larkin.
American.
Worked for the CIA.
Well, I'll have him checked out.
But in the meantime, if I call the DEA,
what will they tell me about you?
They'll tell you I've been in prison.
I was set up by Larkin and my former partner.
They were using drug money to fund CIA covert operations.
Tried to shut them down but I ended up
taking the fall for it.
[beep]
What do you think?
Well, he could be one of them on a fishing expedition,
trying to find out what we're up to.
[beep]
I'll have your story checked out.
In the meantime, can you tell me where
to keep the gas canisters?
What are you talking about?
They're carrying canisters of nerve gas,
enough to wipe out a major city.
You didn't know that?
No, I didn't.
If that is true, you got no choice,
you got to hit this train.
Just let me know when and I'll help you in any way I can.
We'll call you back.
Listen, you have to trust me, man.
I've been in these situations before.
I can give you an edge.
We'll call you right back.
[beep]
[beep]
Get Moran and his team in the air.
It's a go.
Sir, perhaps it would be better if we used a fresh team.
You heard my orders, Kristin.
Will you carry them out?
I'm on it.
[chopper whirring]
We're running into heavy crosswinds.
Makes our landing zone even smaller.
I don't know if we can do this, commander.
Stay with them, captain.
We may not get another opportunity.
MORAN (ON RADIO): Will do.
You establish a fail safe point 10 miles
from Sydney's outer suburbs.
KRISTIN: Penrith Marshaling Yards, sir.
[intriguing music]
Chopper coming.
What direction?
From the north, but I can't see it anymore.
All right, they're going to try and drop
a team on the last carriage.
You get back down there and you shoot them down.
And remember, we still got a wise guy out there.
Take care of him too, will you?
For me.
What's going on up there?
They're coming in.
Send Branyan back to join the others.
I need him here.
[sighs]
[gunfire]
He's killed Yates and I'm pinned down here.
Right, stay there.
Hold the line.
Do not let him get past you.
MORAN (ON RADIO): Is that your inside man?
Yeah, Blake.
Looks like he's the real deal.
Everybody stand by!
[gunshot]
[explosion]
[discordant radio chatter]
No.
[explosion]
No!
[sobbing]
[somber music]
No, no, we lost our team.
Well, I don't have any choice.
You got to get that $25 million in place now.
I don't care how you do it.
Just do it.
I'm so sorry.
I really liked him too.
You're relieved.
You let me know when you're ready to come back.
No, sir.
Kristin, go home.
He did his duty.
I want to do mine, sir.
All right.
Sir.
I took them out.
It had to be 10 of them inside that chopper.
And we took out that other bastard's
being given us a hard time.
That's how you deal with these people.
Body count is something they understand.
All those brave men dying for us.
They didn't die for you.
This is what they're after, nerve gas.
You?
You don't mean a damn thing to them.
Laslo, it's time to show them the error of their ways.
EVE: What are you doing?
We'll be passing through Lithgow shortly.
I'm going to show Haggarty what happens
when he doesn't keep his word.
No, we agreed we would never, under any circumstances,
use that stuff.
Shut up.
I am so sick of Joan of Arc routine.
I try to educate you but you don't learn a damn thing.
I'm still in charge here.
No, you aren't.
You were never in charge.
If they don't come up with the money, I'll let you know.
Set the timer.
Toss it.
I won't let you do this.
[chuckles]
Hey.
Do you mind?
Help yourself.
Stop right there.
Go on.
Kill him.
You might like it.
Come on.
[scoffs]
Make yourself useful.
Go back to our cabin.
Get the other three canisters and take them
to the locomotive.
Move.
You, come with me, hmm?
[moans]
Leave her alone.
Surprise, surprise.
Mr. Danvers grows a spine.
You're not taking her.
Is that so, huh?
This is what you call a life-defining moment.
You have a choice here.
You can sit down and shut up or you and I can take a walk
and discuss your problem with Dr. Uzi.
Leave him alone.
He's wounded.
Seems you have a fan club, Mr. Danvers.
Now a moment ago, they all thought you were a worm.
Now you're a hero.
Bet that feels good.
If you sit down, you go back to being a worm again.
What's he going to do?
Please, Danvers.
[ominous music]
[groans]
RHONDA: No!
Please don't!
No!
[gunshot]
[screaming and sobbing]
Anyone else have a problem?
You are truly evil.
Me?
No, I'm just misunderstood.
I'm a nice guy when you get to know me.
My friend here on the other hand, he really is evil.
And he's all yours.
Branyan, anyone else steps over the line, kill them.
[dramatic music]
You used me right from the beginning.
I took you to the next level, babe.
Come on, get through this thing, you'll be one of us.
We can really raise some hell.
I will never be like you, ever.
We'll see.
[beep]
Haggarty.
Yeah, I'm here.
You have to be punished.
We're transferring your money, Larkin.
Yeah, that's right, we know who you are and what you are.
There won't be any place for you to hide.
Just get the money, OK?
If we don't have it by the time we pass through Lithgow,
there won't be a Lithgow.
Damn.
[dramatic music]
[moans]
[chuckles]
[groans]
[beep]
Have you made the transfer?
Transaction KNR--
[discordant speech]
You're breaking up.
I can't hear you.
Here, let me do this.
Get some air.
Go ahead.
Your money's been transferred to the account number
that you gave us.
LARKIN: I'll need to verify that.
[dramatic music]
- Branyan. - Here.
You need to stop Laslovic.
I can't.
Look, you have to do this.
We can still pull this off, but you have to take control.
You're all I've got, Branyan.
Please don't let me down.
Damn it, boy, you heard her.
Get him.
Go.
Well, what are we waiting for?
Let's get off the train while we can.
No, no, we're moving too fast!
Besides, we can't leave that poison gas with these thugs,
can we?
Now, we can do this one of two ways.
You can relax and enjoy yourself, hmm?
Or you can fight me and make it better for me, hmm?
[moans]
Come on, you can do better than that, huh?
[sobbing]
Did you get confirmation?
No, I'm still waiting.
RHONDA: Get off me.
LASLO: I can't.
[moans]
Leave her alone.
I'm taking this back to Eve.
Really?
[gunshot]
RHONDA: [screams]
Rhonda, get out of here.
[gunfire]
[scuffling]
[chuckles] Come on.
[scuffling]
[gunshots]
[groans]
[chatter]
Sarius 4 disperse and become harmless within 12 hours.
But the only way to neutralize it
is to incinerate it with high explosives,
which is pretty much what happened at the mining site.
Why don't you contact Colonel Wallace?
Tell him our situation.
I want to know if that train and everything on it
can be incinerated.
We have 30 people on board.
Kristin, there are 5 million people in Sydney.
Captain Moran and his men died trying
to save those passengers.
Was that all for nothing?
[sighs] We're living in a new world.
Terrorists have to see that taking hostages
is no longer an option.
It's a hard choice.
It's one I hope you never have to make,
but I'll make it to save 5 million people.
[train whirring]
I have to call someone.
Who?
A friend, I hope.
Put me through to Commander Haggarty, please.
Blake, you're still with us.
Yeah, I'm hanging in there.
HAGGARTY (ON PHONE): I'm glad to hear it.
Can you bring me up to date on the situation there?
I took out two more of their men
and we neutralized one of the canisters.
How many canisters did they have?
I'm told they have three more in the locomotive.
We cannot let that train reach Sydney.
You understand what that means, don't you?
It means we're in a rolling coffin.
HAGGARTY (ON PHONE): We have to incinerate the train.
It's the only way we can neutralize the gas,
unless you can get your hands on the canisters.
What is our time frame here?
At your current speed, 20 minutes.
Well, maybe we can separate the locomotive.
I'll do what I can.
Good luck.
[beep]
The military is going to hit this train in 20 minutes.
Oh, my god.
[beeping]
That's it, we are officially rich.
OK, tell him, tell Laslo to leave her.
[chuckles]
Laslo, you having fun yet?
Laslo, what are you doing?
Laslo has left the building.
Who the hell are you?
Think about it, Larkin.
[chopper whirring]
If you're going to just kill everybody,
what's the difference between us and them?
The difference lies with what's in your heart.
We're trying to save lives.
30 people may die because of my actions,
but millions more will live.
The extremists, they're on the opposite side of that equation.
They're so self deluded, that they want to destroy
everything they can't control.
They've lost touch with their hearts,
with their souls, the part that defines us as human.
Whoa!
What are you doing?
I'm rigging a detonator wire.
Now why don't you go back and guard the prisoners?
It's over.
Step back.
You stupid, little girl.
You just never learn, do you?
This thing is kind of sensitive right now.
Anybody who goes near it, it goes off.
So I'm just going to jam the throttle
forward and run this train into Sydney
and nature takes its course.
But you'll die along with everybody else.
Oh, I'll be getting off a little ahead of schedule.
I'll be well clear.
You will never get away with this.
[chuckles] You think in all this chaos, they're going
to have time to look for me?
[gunshot]
Damn!
I will never understand women.
Hurry.
Go all the way to the rear of the train.
BEATRICE: Quickly.
Come on this way.
We need to separate the rest of the cars
from the locomotive.
There is a Mando wheel underneath the coupling
assembly.
That's pretty hard to do while it's moving.
I've heard of it being done a few years back.
All right, you'll couple it and I'll try to stop the train.
OK, be careful.
Yeah.
You look after the other passengers, love.
I'll be back, don't worry.
Dad.
[beeping]
Money in the bank.
Don't touch that.
Eve, don't talk.
He took the last one.
[groans]
[dramatic music]
[gunshot]
There's a small wheel under there.
if we can turn it, the locomotives will separate.
The brakes will kick in automatically.
That's going to take some doing.
[gunshots]
It's no good!
I can't fit in there!
OK, let me try!
No way!
No, look, I'm smaller than you.
I can get further in there.
OK.
[chopper whirring]
I have target vision.
Easy.
You fire at that locomotive when it reaches the middle
of the marshaling yard.
Sir, it's a passenger train.
That's why I'm telling you to target the locomotive.
I repeat, target the leading locomotive.
[gunshot]
[moaning]
[explosion]
PILOT (ON RADIO): I have visual confirmation, target destroyed.
Rest of train is intact.
[cheering]
I can see the passengers getting out.
[chuckles]
Dad.
[sobbing]
JACK: I'm sorry love.
He was a brave man.
[suspenseful music]
[gunfire]
You counting your rounds, Larkin?
How many you got left?
All I need is one.
Hey, who the hell are you anyway?
Paul Thomas Blake, DEA.
Remember me?
[chuckles]
Well, now I get it.
I've always wanted to meet you, Blake.
Well, I've been waiting a long time for this.
Careful what you wish for, pal.
Listen, Blake, you know this is stupid?
We shouldn't be fighting.
We're cut from the same cloth.
You and me, we should be partners.
I don't mind sharing.
And I feel I owe you one.
Now I got a lot of money in an offshore bank account.
I'm happy to go halves with you.
I mean, if you wise up.
This is an airtight room.
It's about the safest place in the city tonight.
Tomorrow, we walk out of here, we're rich men.
[beeping]
And you get your life back.
[metallic clanking]
Hey.
[dramatic music]
- Kill the timer. - No.
You got 30 seconds.
[groans]
Do you know what's going to happen?
You're going to die screaming.
You'd die too.
Yeah, if I have to.
Think what you're doing.
Think what you've done.
Switch it off!
Please.
You switch it off.
[beeping intensifies]
[screams]
[news theme on radio]
REPORTER (ON RADIO): More news on the train
hijacking two days ago.
It's now known the terrorist group responsible
was the Earth Defense League, a radical element
of the anti-globalization movement.
The action was to publicize environmental issues.
A full report--
Liars.
Excuse me, are you waiting for a Mr. Haggarty?
Yes.
He said to say he's going to be delayed
but to give you this.
Oh, OK, thanks.
[soft music]
Have you ordered yet?
Oh, my god.
Oh, I thought you were dead.
Ms. Newcombe, I'm Commander Haggarty.
Oh, hello.
Sorry to have stood you up for lunch.
I figured Mr. Blake would keep you entertained.
Yes, we, uh-- we managed to pass the time.
[chuckles]
You thought about my proposition?
To work for you?
Yeah.
I could use some help tidying up around the office.
I'm sure we'll find something for you to do.
I'll think about it.
You do that.
[captivating music]
It's beautiful, isn't it?
It's paradise.
We have to keep it that way.
Thanks, commander.
Thank you.
You don't really want to work for him, do you?
No, I'll just retire and find myself a nice, rich divorce.
Oh.
Well, I got $500 in the bank.
That's close enough.
Let's get out of here.
