Move! Move!

Get out of the way!

Move!

Stay with me, Rose, all right?

Stay with me.

Come on. Hey, hey, hey,

look, look at me!

ROSE (V.O.):

When it all falls apart...

you can surrender on sight.

Locked it.

ROSE (V.O.):

You can run for the exits...

or you can fight back...

to your last breath...

until there's nothing left.

(ROCK MUSIC PLAYING)

(MUSIC FADES DOWN)

L.A.P.D. Metro. Third one today.

Hey, Mark.

How are you, doll?

Good to see your face

around here.

Mm-hm.

You comin' back to work soon?

Yeah, any day. Actually, I'm...

- Hey!

- Hey.

If it isn't Old Glory Corley.

All right, man. Oh, hey.

Hey, hey, hey.

Give me a hug. Give me a hug.

How are you doin'?

Good, man. He all right?

Come on.

Good to see ya.

You look worse than I imagined.

What the hell you imaginin'

me for?

Sorry to drag you down here,

man.

No one else gives a sh*t, right?

Well, at least he's got you.

Poor bastard.

There he is...

restin' comfortably.

You son of a b*tch.

Lock him up.

- You're serious?

- Mm-hm.

You let him out, I'll kill him

myself, lock him up.

This is his third offense,

Mark.

I process him, he's in for a lot

more than an over-nighter.

All right.

Look, I know it's been tough on

both of you since Rose passed.

Yeah.

I talked to the other guy.

He's not gonna press charges.

This is the last time I can help

you out, man.

Well, I appreciate it.

All right, that's what

partners do.

It's nice to see you out

and about, Mark...

get that fresh air and sh*t.

Just get in the f***in' truck,

smart ass.

Do you even wanna hear my side?

Why? This ends with you in jail,

don't it?

You wanna piss your life away,

son, that's on you.

At least have the balls to own

it, for once.

Okay.

(ENGINE TURNING OVER)

I'll get the jumpers.

It's not the battery.

Jeez.

Can we call a cab?

You got money for that?

How much was that whiskey?

Change.

Change.

Change.

Here you go.

V.A. don't give a f***.

Nobody does, brother.

Change.

WOMAN (OVER SPEAKER):

Next stop, Fifth and Flower.

Next stop, Fifth and Flower.

You are so much smarter

than this.

Christ knows you didn't

get that from me.

But this whole, "F*** the

world," routine...

it's just not workin' for ya.

Some people got it comin'.

That's your words, not mine.

My words, wise ass, my words

don't put me in lock-up.

He said some sh*t, it deserved

an answer, all right...

so I... I hit him once.

One time? You broke his jaw

with one punch?

It f***in' connected.

Nice.

I don't know what I'm gonna

do with you.

(LOUD CRASH)

Change.

- You all right?

- Yeah.

Everyone all right?

What the hell was that?

- 87 westbound, can you hear me?

- (KNOCKS SOFTLY)

This is 87 westbound, can you

hear me?

Yes, how can I help you, sir?

Hey, Audrey, what seems

to be the problem?

Uh, power outage... the radio's

down.

It takes a few minutes to get

the system back up.

Okay, well, even without the

power the radio should work.

I know that, but it doesn't.

This is 87 westbound,

can you hear me?

I'm not tryin' to step on your

toes here, Audrey...

it's just I don't like tight

spaces....

so if there's anything

I can do...

You'll be the first to know.

Thanks.

Okay.

This is eight...

(LOUD CRASH)

What the hell was that?

- You okay?

- Yeah.

- Shut this door.

- Everybody please stay calm.

No one is leaving the train.

- Officer, please.

- I got two kids at home.

I wanna get home too, okay?

But this is procedure to keep

you all safe.

Please sit. Sit.

This is 87 westbound.

Can you hear me?

MAN (OVER RADIO):

Don't look to the lights.

Just don't look!

87 westbound, can you hear me?

Over.

MAN (OVER RADIO):

Don't look at the lights.

Light, what light?

(LOUD CRASH)

F*** procedure. Move! Move!

Here, here.

Okay. Okay.

Everyone all right?

Okay. Wait, wait, wait, wait.

- Bring 'em out.

- Make a single file to the right.

To the right.

Don't run. Just follow the

person in front of you...

and please stay calm.

Listen to what she's tellin'

you. All right. Okay.

Please, stay to the right.

To the right. Slow, slow,

slow, slow, slow.

Okay. Okay.

Come on, follow me.

Please stay to the right.

Come on, Trent.

Come on.

(RUMBLING)

- What the hell is that, huh?

- Shh!

Move!

Yeah.

Keep moving! Keep moving,

please.

Watch these rails.

Jones. Where the f***

is everybody?

I don't know.

Where you all goin'?

Hold up.

Hey!

Trent! Hey!

What the...?

Whoa, hold up!

Come on.

Stay behind me, all right?

Hey, hold on one second.

Wait, wait, wait, wait.

I gotta get to my kids.

You don't even know

what that is.

Hey. Hey, hey! Excuse me.

Hey. What are you doin'?

Stop. Excuse me.

Hey, what the...

Mark! Mark! Mark!

Mark. Oh my God, the light.

Mark! Don't look at the light!

This is what they were tryin'

to warn us about!

Trent! Put your head down!

Trent!

Trent! Trent!

Trent, don't look up!

Damn it! Trent!

Mark!

Holy sh*t!

[AUDREY] Mark, are you okay?

Up! Up! Up!

What the hell is going

on up there?

Trent, you gotta breathe.

Trent, breath!

Hey! Hey, hey!

Go, go, go, go, go!

Move! Move!

Go, go, go! Go, go, go,

go, go, go, go!

We're under attack.

What the hell you think

that was, man...

terrorists or what, huh?

ISIS doesn't have no f***in'

spaceship!

Look at me, son.

- What was that?

- Look at me, son. Look at me.

- I have no idea.

- You must have seen something.
