Live Free or Die Hard Page #3

Synopsis: When someone hacks into the computers at the FBI's Cyber Crime Division; the Director decides to round up all the hackers who could have done this. When he's told that because it's the 4th of July most of their agents are not around so they might have trouble getting people to get the hackers. So he instructs them to get local PD'S to take care of it. And one of the cops they ask is John McClane who is tasked with bringing a hacker named Farrell to the FBI. But as soon as he gets there someone starts shooting at them. McClane manages to get them out but they're still being pursued. And it's just when McClane arrives in Washington that the whole system breaks down and chaos ensues.

What?

What?

What?

What are you doing?

What is that?

It is Credence.

- Credence?

- Credence.

Credence Clearwater Revival.

- Classic rock.

- I know who it is.

It is old rock,

that does not make it classic.

What sucked back then

still sucks now.

You don't like Credence?

It is like having a pine cone

shoved up my ass.

OK, really...

Wow how mature!

Come on man.

i We are at a heading of 060.

Making another pass.

Listen up everyone.

Are we ready?

The transportation hubs

are prepped and set.

Begin stage 1.

When was the last time you tuned

in your radio to pop music?

Give me any decade.

Was it the seventies?

Did Michael Jackson still play?

Pearl Jam.

I'm going back about 10 years.

Ten years.

Twenty years. The Cure? Nothing?

It's called News Radio.

I'm trying to see if any of your

friends from Camden made the headlines.

Hold on.

- You listen to the news?

- Yeah, you have a problem with the news now?

Yes, I have a big God damned

problem with the news.

Are you ready for this?

The news is completely manipulated.

Everything that you hear

every single day...

is designed by corporate media

to do one thing only.

Jesus!

To keep you living in fear.

- Oh fear?

- Total fear.

Fear so you will go out and

spend money on things.

Things you probably don't even need.

Things you should already be sick of.

So that their advertisers keep

buying adds on their stations.

And I tell one more thing.

Are you ready for this?

I can do this all day man.

I've got days of data at home.

I'll drop a bomb on you bigger......

- HEY!

- SHUT UP!

That's good, that's good,

be dismissive

You...

- Are you OK?

- No, I am not OK.

Stay in the car.

You will be OK.

Hey man! Hey.

How are you doing,

you alright?

Just call 911, alright?

Jesus Christ.

All of the lights are green.

All of the lights are green.

Let's go, right now.

- We gotta go?

- Let's go.

Get your bag hack boy.

Let's go.

- Jesus.

- Let's go.

I've never been in a crash.

Are you alright?

Well it is very exciting.

This way, here we go.

- Have you ever been in a car accident?

- Yes, I have been in a car accident.

What are we doing?

A little thing they invented back

in the 60s, it's called jogging.

Sir, Chicago is reporting a system crash

in their train network

Amtrak is flashing a level 1

crash of their system

F.A.A. just issued a critical alert.

Their ATC Net just went down.

We are under attack.

OK.

Let's get them outside

for a little bit of fresh air.

That is the Anthrax Alarm.

Alright, everyone out,

Now!

Now!

Taylor, move, go.

Move!

i All personnel must evacuate

and proceed to the shelters immediately.

i This is not a drill.
