The Taking of Pelham 123 Page #5

Peter, move it back a little less.

Got it!

All right! We got it!

- Who's talked to these jokers?

- That would be me.

Under my supervision, who are you?

Lieutenant Camonetti,

NYPD, hostage negotiations.

John Johnson, chief transportation officer

Walter Garber. I'm a...

consult dispatch. Right now

What can you tell me, Walter?

His name is, Ryder,

with a "Y" and a...

his asking for 10 million dollars by 3:13.

- Good, he's looking towards the future.

- Right.

Did he say what he'd do if

he doesn't get the money?

Yeah, he said he'd kill a passenger,

every minute we go over.

- Starting at 3:
13 pm?

- Yes, sir.

- Anything else?

- He's smart...

If he's so smart, why's he

got himself, so f***ing stupid?

- Is he on the train radio?

- Yeah, yeah. We can get him right here.

Any chance we can get

a signal down there?

We'd like to get him on

one of our cell phones.

No. No there's no chance,

not where he is. uh-uh.

What's this, leverage, stock trade?

Yeah, it's weird, he's like a

money guy, like wall street.

he talked about the passengers

like they were... commodities.

- Catholic?

- Yes, I think he's, catholic.

For christ sake, Garber! you gonna

tell us what he's zodiac sign is?

No, I'm just saying in my

opinion I think he's, catholic.

He asked me if the guy is catholic. I wrote

it down. I'm giving him my opinion.

Unlike other people around

here, I actually have an opinion....

Fellas, can we settle this

domestic dispute... later?

- Absolutely!

- Why do you think he's, catholic?

Well, I think he's, catholic because

he talked about original sin,

confession, and I don't know, I just wrote

it down, I didn't know what else to do.

- Did he ask for a priest?

- No.

Good anything else?

Yeah, he sounded like...

the way he was talking

sounded like he's not afraid to die.

Yeah well, it's early yet.

Calls coming through, uh...

Yes, sir, right here. You

hit the blue button here

you can reach him and

it'll come back to you.

You mind if I take your seat?

- No, no, go ahead!

- Thank you, Walter.

this one here is six lines you

don't have to press that one.

- that one goes around the whole room.

- Okay.

- Why don't you, uh...

- Just hit the talk here and, uh...

Walter, remove the rest of

the day off, get out of here.

I thought, I'll stick around

here... Make sure that...

That wasn't a suggestion.

So, why don't you go home?

Can I take a piss?

- So who's stopping you?

- alright,

I don't want to end up on

any amnesty international list, so

step up to the door, face out.

Open the middle door.

Do what you gotta do.

Can I jump down, there?

- You gotta go, or don't you??

- I do, I gotta go!
