Live Free or Die Hard Page #4

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.

i All personnel must evacuate

and proceed to the shelters immediately.

Take the team and go for

the fourth floor. Got it?

Masks on.

Make it happen, OK?

Research the data

from these crashes,

see if you can ID the

point of origin.

Begin Stage 2.

i Hey what is going on?

i What is happening?

They are already starting

to panic.

Of course they are.

They think that someone

is taking their money.

All of those nickel

and dimes they saved.

Useful idiots,

as Lyman would say.

Prep the video package.

DC transportation system is crashing

And they just hit the financial

sector. Everything.

Call the Secretary of Trans, the

Treasury And the Director of F.C.C.

Let's go people!

Somebody, somewhere,

has left a digital fingerprint.

Find it!

Is Deputy Director Bowman

in here?

- Not now it will have to wait.

- Not today waxworks.

This is Matthew Farrell.

I brought him here on direct

orders from Bowman.

So if you don't know what's going on,

find me somebody who does.

I am Bowman.

The video package is

ready for upload.

Thanks.

Listen, John.

I thank for bringing Farrell,

but everythings changed this morning

We are neck deep in

damage control right now.

'Scuse me, I'm sorry, Sir.

Do you have something to eat?

Any snacks around here?

I would love... I am

really low on blood sugar.

Sir?

No?

i As if the crash of the traffic

system wasn't bad enough.

i the Stock exchange was

in a selling frenzy this afternoon.

i the Commission believes this panic

may have been caused by computer malfunction.

i it is Believed to be related...

It's not as bad as it looks.

We run drills to prepare

for things like this.

- Are these your suspects?

- They were.

All seven were killed

in the last 24 hours.

Do you recognize any of them?

No.

Not one??

Sir.

You need to see something here.

i My fellow Americans...

i it is time...

to strike...

i fear...

into...

i the citizenry.

i ask not...

It's not an authorised broadcast.

i what your country can do...

i to avert this...

crisis.

i the answer is...

nothing what so ever.

i our military...

strength...

i is in...

this case...

i useless.

i Read my lips.

I The...

great...

i confident...

ruler...

i of the American...

i progress...

and...

i growth...

has come to...

i an end.

i All...

the vital...

i technology...

that...

i that...

this nation...

i possesses.

i All

communication...

i Transportation,

Internet...

i Connectivity.

i Electrical power.

i critical.....

i utilities...

Their...

i fate...

now rests...

i in...

our...

i hands.

i We will not tire.

i We will not falter.

i And we won't fail.

I don't know how they

are getting in.
