The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3

And so?

And so, I'm sitting there staring at him, right?

He tells me to get my fucking crunchy fucking fucknuts the fuck out of there.

You believe that shit?

- You know what I said, right? - No, what did you say?

- Shit. "Okay." - You fucking said, "Okay."

- I'm sure you did. - Ha, ha, ha.

Control Center, this is Stillwell 1215.

Go ahead, Stillwell 1215.

I'm about four cars out of 57th Street station

being delayed by a red signal light.

Should be green, Stillwell 1215.

Yeah, tell me something I don't already know.

All right, roll through it slow, extreme caution, per the rulebook.

Yeah, cracked rail. Nine-hundred feet from the east end of the platform.

It's the goddamn cold. Metal contracts, you know that.

I got it, I got it. How long it take to fix it?

Gotta put a plate on it. Two hours.

Thank you. Make it an hour and a half, I'll buy you a beer.

Shit, G.B.

I hate to see you down here on the floor, man.

Temporary, baby. I'll be up there behind the glass before you know it.

Okay, I'm gonna need the R train

to switch over to the express tracks at 34th.

- Which express tracks? - The one that Q uses.

Once they exit the 57th Street, they can switch over to the F Line.

Boom, straight shot into Queens.

Once they get to Queens, they switch back at 36th Street to the R Line.

All you gotta do is suspend the W, N and R will pick up the slack, all right?

Excuse me, I can't see where I gotta look.

Unlock the door. Do it now or I'll fucking kill you. Do it.

All right, all right.

Shut up and walk.

First car, go.

See? I told you I could do this.

Big fucking deal, you did what you said you'd do.

All right.

Five minutes of peace.

- Yeah! - Nice!

Nice. All right.

There you go.

I'm on the train and I still got you.

You still got me?

I got you. What are you doing?

You still got me?

Oh, my God.

Baby? Baby?

Give me the cutting key.

Cutting key.

Control Center calling Pelham 123. Come in, Pelham 123.

Why did you stop? You're all green ahead.

Control Center calling Pelham 123.

Control Center calling Pelham 123.

Yhy did you stop, 123? You got green ahead.

It's okay.

Life is simple now.

You just gotta do what I say.

Not now, okay?

Where are you from?

- Brooklyn. - You Irish?

Yeah.

I thought so.

Who's driving Pelham 123?

Maybe something fell on the tracks.

Wait. Are we going backwards?

42nd Street tower, I got a train wrong-railing

on the southbound Lexington Avenue Line just north of you.

Listen up, we need to stop and stay in-station.

All southbound locals just north of the 51 st Street station.

The operator on 123 is Jerry Pollard.

Jerry Pollard. I know Jerry Pollard. I went to motorman school with Jerry Pollard.

Pelham 123, come in to me, Pelham 123.

Pelham 123, Jerry Pollard, what's going on down there?

This is Control Center. What's going on, 123?

Let's get an express train to go up, pull alongside them, see what we see in the cab.

Yeah, this is South Ferry 105.

I can't get my windshield wiper to turn on.

South Ferry 105, there's a circuit breaker right behind you for that.

What's going on?

Maestro, what's going on?

- Cop. - Excuse me.

Fuck.

Watch your backs. Watch your backs.

When I say stop, stop it hard.

- Transit Police. - Stop.

Everybody sit the fuck down!

- Down! - Aah!

Sit the fuck down!

Jesus! We're getting reports of gunshots down the tunnel.

Sergeant Moran.

- Delgado, let's call off that express. - Got it.

I'm gonna die. I'm gonna fucking die, man.

Come on! Hey.

Everybody up! By the window! Come on, up, up, up!

Stand up! Stand up! Come on!

Move it! Against the window!

What the fuck is going on?

There was a cop. Bashkin shot him.

I think... I think he's dead.

Put Bashkin on and find your fucking guts!

- Do it! - Fuck.

- What happened? - A cop. He's dead.

Put the conductor on.

- What's your name, conductor? - Regina.

Regina, baby, listen, you got a job to do, honey.

A job?

Yeah, God put you on this Earth for one thing and one thing only.

You're gonna conduct those people off the train

and up to the platform station. You got that? Let me hear it.

Let me hear you do that.

Listen up, everybody.

We're gonna go back to the platform. I need everybody to...

Regina. Let's do it again.

Conduct those people.

Listen up, everybody. Now, we're gonna head back towards the platform.

I want everybody to slowly get up.

- I'm gonna get you off this train. - Good.

Now, we're gonna be on the tracks, so if you don't need it, leave it.

Have been put on alert regarding...

Right here, right here. Right here, right here.

Cross right here, right here.

Go.

Cross over right here, right here.

Let's go.

- Up the stairs, up the stairs. - Here you go.

- Every cop in the city is on the way. - Maybe it wasn't even gunshots.

I mean, a train could be blowing the breakers, right? Or the motor blew?

No, this is on purpose.

Fuck you.

Yeah, I'm coming. Get the fuck off the walls.

Shut the fuck up and come on.

Shit. Come on.

Ramos. Turn the power off from there down.

What?

Turn the power off from there down!

Okay, I got it!

My fucking lucky day.

Shit. What the fuck is wrong with you, man?

Pelham 123 to Rail Control Center. Do you read me?

Yes, I read you, Pelham 123.

This is Control Center. Who is this?

Heh, heh, heh. It's me, man.

I didn't wanna call till everything was ready.

it's not Jerry. I don't know who it is.

I understand, I understand, Pelham 123.

Who the hell is this?

This is the man who's gonna rock this city.

This is the man who's gonna give the city a run for the money.

Look up. Look up at your screen and you tell me what you see.

You see what I've done?

I see it.

One car is much more manageable than 10 with the manpower I got.

Mr. Motorman's gonna tell you all about it. Tell him what we got here.

They got hostages, lots of them.

- And, uh, they got machine guns. - That's Jerry.

- Yeah. That's Jerry. - Yeah, that's right.

You check me, do you understand that?

I check, I understand.

Didn't I tell you to knock first?

Good, because this is what we call a cash transaction.

Now, you understand commodities, don't you?

You know, pork bellies? Gold? Light crude?

Listen. Listen, no disrespect,

but maybe... Maybe I'm not the guy you should be talking to.

Oh, no, you are exactly the guy I wanna talk to.

Now, I want you to look at the ticker and you tell me

what is the going rate for a New York City hostage today?

You think a million dollars is too much? I do. I think it's corny.

Now get your calculator out. You got one?

Uh...

- Do you haνe a calculator? - Yeah, we got one. I got one.

Okay, good. Add this up. You got $526,315 and 79 cents.

That's 526,315.79.

Now, times that by 19.

What do you got?

What is he, a goddamn accountant?

That's 10 million? What do you got?

That comes out to 10 million plus one cent.

Oh. That is a deal.

You call the mayor and you tell him the price.

And then you tell him I want it in 100,000 $100 bills, you got that?

I got it. What about the one cent?

Oh, you keep that one cent, that's your broker fee.

Now, I want the rest in plain suitcases

the kind with the wheels and the portable handle, okay?

Now, this is not a futures contract. This is a spot trade.

That means there's a time limit on it. Okay, you got that?

Now, what do you think is a fair time limit?

You know, I don't know. I'm really just a guy...

Come on, give me a time limit.

Give me a fair time limit.

Thursday.

I was thinking more like an hour. Now, what's your watch say?

Two-thirteen.

Oh, that's exactly what my watch says.

So at 3:13, I want that money here, motherfucker.

And after that, there is a late fee.

What do you think that late fee is gonna be?

Come on, tell me what it'll be.

You're gonna kill the passengers?
