Deadlocked (2016) - full transcript
Another day
to live through.
Better get started.
- You know, if you
took the stairs more,
you might catch me next time.
- I don't know if
you're aware of this
but you're in handcuffs
right now, buddy.
- Yeah, but that's not
because you caught me.
Now, you wouldn't
have stood a chance
if that freak
didn't snitch on me.
- You mean the elderly
citizen who restrained you?
- Well, I didn't wanna hurt him.
- Right.
- Hold the door.
- Got an audition to be at.
- See if you can
call the front desk.
Yeah.
- Yeah. Hi.
So the elevator's stuck.
You kiddin' me.
This crap's gettin' old.
- Wait, how often
does this happen?
Look, I'll get
the elevator company
over here just as soon as I can.
Okay. And how
long has this gonna take?
Shouldn't be too long.
Could you be
more specific with the time?
No.
Sorry about this, everyone.
We'll have you out of
there as soon as we can.
- Let me see if there's
anything I can do about this.
1306 to 782.
You guys out?
I'm in front waiting.
- Actually, we're
stuck on the elevator.
Are you serious?
Are you guys alone?
- Negative.
How soon you think you
can have us out of here?
Daniels, I hate
to break it to you,
but I think you're
on elevator patrol
for the afternoon, kid.
I gotta go. I'm getting
a call for a 1016.
- Okay. Stay safe.
- Well, looks like we're not
going anywhere for a while.
We should probably
take these off, yeah?
- So you're new
to the force, huh?
I'm sorry.
I'm Connor.
- Officer Daniels.
- And what's your name?
- Me?
- Yeah.
- Oh, sorry.
Just not you used to
anybody talking to me
while I'm cuffed.
I'm Mason.
- Well, it's nice
to meet you, Mason.
- Sir, let's avoid
touching the perp please.
- Sorry.
Man, they're trying to freeze
us to death in here or what?
- Dude, it's boiling in here.
- You're warm?
- Yeah.
What's happening?
- It's all right. They're
just working on the elevator.
- What are you talking about?
It's not all right.
I'm gonna miss my audition
no thanks to this brat.
Everything was fine
until you got here.
- Sir, lower your voice.
- Do you know what you've done?
This was going to be
my role of a lifetime.
I was going to make it.
Excuse me, everyone.
Connor here.
Hey, Jen.
Hey.
Yeah.
Well, the craziest
thing just happened.
The elevator got stuck.
Yeah.
So unfortunately I don't think
I can get to this audition.
Well, I was wondering,
is there any possibility I
could schedule another one?
No, it's okay.
No, I totally understand.
Okay.
Well, hopefully we'll
be working together
sometime in the future.
Okay.
Thank you so much.
Thank you, I appreciate it.
Talk to you soon.
All right, bye.
C'est la vie.
What's up?
- I think you owe
her an apology.
- I'm sorry, did
I miss something?
- You yelled at her.
- When the lights went out?
You blamed her for
missing your audition.
- It's fine. Can we
just drop it please?
- I don't know what you
guys are talking about.
I mean, I'm gonna miss my
audition, but it's okay.
I mean, it could have
been a huge opportunity
but there'll be plenty more.
- Stop it.
You're freaking her
out. Just apologize.
- I'm not freaked out, okay?
- This is a prank, right?
- I don't know.
You tell me.
- I'm really sorry.
- We're not the ones you
need to apologize to.
- Hey.
Hello?
I'm Connor.
- Yeah, you're Connor.
You said that to
everybody here already.
- Well, what's your name?
- Jacqui.
Okay.
- Jacqui.
I'm really sorry for
whatever happened back there.
I'm seriously really
sorry that I scared you .
- I'm not scared, okay?
It's fine.
- What's up with the backpack?
- So Connor, why don't you
tell us about yourself?
You're an actor?
- Well, aspiring actor, yes.
- Have you suffered any
head trauma recently?
- Huh?
- Did you hit your
head or anything?
- No.
Are you
taking any substances?
- Are you asking
if I take drugs?
- I'm just concerned
about your wellbeing.
- I don't do drugs.
- Dammit, cop.
Just ask him if
you hear something.
- Do you have power
outages here often?
- This is weird,
even for this place.
- So, it's Olivia, right?
I never caught what you do.
- Mechanical engineer.
- So why do you live here?
I heard at career
day that engineering
jobs pay really well.
- Miss, why aren't you
in school right now?
Help!
- Sir.
Help!
- Sir, the elevator's stuck.
I'm a police officer.
What's going on out there?
My girlfriend's
trying to kill me.
- I've been there before.
- Sir, I need you to
get to a safe place.
I'm gonna send-
1306 to dispatch.
Talk to me. Are you all right?
- Shit!
- Dammit, Mason.
- Asthma.
1306 to dispatch.
- I don't have my inhaler.
- Dispatch, where are you?
- I've got this. Just
take care of Connor, okay.
Jacqui, Jacqui, look at me.
Okay.
- Connor.
- Hi officer. I'm Connor.
- Okay, Connor.
I'm gonna have you sit
down right over here, okay?
- What's wrong with her?
- You can do it, slow breaths.
- Hey, you need to get
the fire department
and an ambulance
down here right now.
- Focus on me.
Let it out, slowly.
Okay. Good, deep breaths.
Okay, good.
Hello?
This is dispatch.
Go ahead, 1306.
Over.
- I'm stuck in an elevator
with three civilians and a perp
in an apartment
building on 5th Avenue.
- It's the Palmer apartments.
- It's the Palmer apartments.
I believe we're stuck somewhere
near the fourth floor.
I'm requesting fire,
medical and backup.
This is an emergency.
I heard a violent
altercation in the hallway
and we have a young
female in here
who's suffering from
respiratory problems,
and a young male suffering
from drug withdrawals
or an overdose or something.
Send help, over
10-4, 1306.
Checking on available
units. Over.
- I don't do drugs.
- See? You got through it.
Won't be long now.
Just keep breathing.
Stay with me.
1306, all
available personnel
are currently handling
other emergencies,
but we will send the
first available units.
ETA is two hours. Over.
- Come again?
ETA is two hours.
We're flooded with
calls right now.
Over.
- It's okay.
They always overestimate the
amount of time they need, okay?
It's okay.
Just keep breathing.
Good. Nice, long breaths.
1306.
- Look, I don't know
if it's fast enough.
This girl's asthma is terrible.
There's gotta be
something else we can do.
Some sort of alternative.
Maybe I can get
some outside help.
Negative, 1306.
Hold tight and wait for us.
I understand the situation,
but the safest thing for you
and everyone in there is to
stay right where you are.
Trying to exit or tamper
with that elevator equipment
creates an incredibly
dangerous situation.
Understood?
Over.
- 10-4.
Over.
Hang in
there, officer.
Over and out.
- It's too long, okay?
Her asthma's really, really bad.
And with him acting like that,
we're gonna need her
inhaler really soon.
- Ma'am, I appreciate your
concern and all your help
but there's nothing
else I can do here.
- Yes, there is, sir.
Look, I have personal
experience with this elevator.
I know how it works.
- What?
- It's a long story, okay?
The point is, I can get us help.
All I need to do is
open these doors.
If we're lucky, we'll
be opening on a floor
and we can just walk
right out of here.
- I can't permit any
tampering with the elevator.
- Tampering's a strong word
for what we'd be doing.
We'd just be opening the doors.
- The dispatcher said
it was dangerous, so-
- No, it's not.
I mean, it's...
There's a slight risk
for only you and me.
Nobody else in this room.
I'm willing to take the risk
and I think you are too.
Why did you become a cop?
To enforce some rules
or to help people?
'cause there's a
girl in this room
that needs your help right now.
So what's it gonna be?
- I can't.
Olivia.
I'm sorry.
- Tell that to her.
- Keep it together, loser.
Jacqui, I need to
see your phone.
- Why?
We need to
call your parents.
- You don't have to
call my dad, I'm...
- He needs to know
what's going on here.
Let's do this the easy way.
- Just do what he says, Jacqui.
Thank you.
Hi, this
is Nathan Fields.
Sorry I couldn't take
your call right now
but please leave me a message
and I'll get back to
you as soon as possible.
- Hi, Mr. Fields.
I'm officer Daniels and I'm
here with your daughter, Jacqui.
And she's having some
asthma issues at the moment.
If you can give me a call
back when you get this,
that would be appreciated.
Thank you.
Connor.
- Sorry.
1306.
- Olivia.
All right, so how do we do this?
- Okay.
Well, we're gonna need his help.
Mason?
With what?
- Somebody needs to watch her.
Otherwise her asthma
is gonna get worse.
- Yeah. He's not exactly
the guy for that job.
- Well, we don't exactly have
a more qualified
candidate, do we?
- Mason.
Get over here.
- So how can I
help, John McClain?
- We need you to
sit with Jacqui.
Just talk to her
and keep her calm
while we open these doors.
- Wait, wait, is that
a request or a command?
Pretty sure you can't force
me to babysit against my will.
- Fine.
Then it's a request.
- Oh well, I'd be
happy to help them.
So what do I get in return?
Come on.
- Just tell us what you want.
- Okay, well, for starters,
take these cuffs off.
No.
We can't trust him.
He's dangerous.
Yeah, 'cause I
might steal your wallet.
- Mason, please.
- Okay. Fine.
I'd take some booze.
- What?
- Yeah. Come on.
I saw you sneaking something
in the corner there.
- Okay. Go.
- And don't let her
look at Connor, okay.
Anything you have to do to
keep your mind off the asthma.
- Yeah, I can do that.
Hi.
- One.
Two.
Three.
- Jeez, take it easy.
You're talking my ear off here.
Oh, so what's in the
bag anyway? Can I look?
I'll just take that as a yes.
Ow!
Easy, kid.
- Don't call me a kid, dumb ass.
- Okay.
- Now what.
- Let go on three.
One.
Two.
Three.
- Well, we're not
getting out that way.
- Maybe we don't have to.
Someone could bring
us the inhaler.
- Olivia.
- You come prepared, girl.
- Thanks.
- We need something to
wedge these doors open.
- Well, we got nothing.
- Would this work?
- That'll do it.
- Hey, officer.
- How are you feeling, Connor?
- Pretty good, really?
- You want some water?
- Sure.
Why not?
- Hey, hey.
You can't look at him.
- They're not watching.
- I'm worried about him.
- You'll still get your booze.
Yeah, I heard you guys talking.
You weren't exactly
quiet and oh yeah,
you were like five
feet over there?
- Look, look, that wasn't
about the booze, okay?
That cop, he thinks he can
make me do whatever he wants.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Just shut up about it, okay?
I get it.
Again, on three.
- Let me see him.
I will punch you again.
- Fine.
- Is he gonna be okay?
- Look, you just worry
about yourself, okay?
- Jack, look at me, it's okay.
Hey, guys.
- That's it!
What happened?
- What did you do?
- Man, look cop, there's
something seriously off
with this dude.
Hey look, his eyes were all
screwed up for a second.
When she saw that, her
asthma flared up again.
You gotta do something
about this guy.
- I knew I couldn't trust you.
- And you're not listening.
Some scary shit just
went down here, okay?
You really gotta do-
- Hey, I don't wanna hear it.
- Officer.
He's telling...
- Jacqui, Jacqui.
Don't talk, okay?
Just focus on your breathing.
Okay?
- Hello!
Can anyone hear me?
We're in the elevator.
We need help.
What are you doing?
- I'm recruiting my sister
to get that inhaler.
Ali.
- Liv, I just heard
a bunch of gunshots in the hall.
- Are you okay?
There's something
going on in the hall.
- Sir, sir, we're
in the elevator.
We need help.
- Okay, just lock the door?
I'm gonna be there
as soon as I can.
Everything's gonna be okay.
Listen, there's someone in
here with really bad asthma.
Can you please go
to her apartment
and get her inhaler?
Please.
- Yes. Yes, of course.
- Thank you. Hold on one sec.
- 605, probably on
the kitchen counter.
- Okay. No, no, no.
Don't put your hand in here.
That's how you lose it.
I'm gonna just toss
it to you, okay?
It's apartment 605.
Probably somewhere on the
kitchen counter, okay?
- All right.
I'll be back as fast as I can.
I'm John from 419.
You're Olivia, right?
I think I've seen
you around before.
Got it. Going.
- Thank you.
- Nice work.
Thanks.
- Nice work yourself, officer.
- Lee.
- I don't know any other Lees.
No, I lied.
Lee Harvey Oswald.
- Oh yeah.
- Yeah.
- Harvey.
- Olivia, officer Lee.
- You didn't hold up
your end of the bargain.
We can't give this guy an inch.
- Come on. Let's keep the peace.
- Oh.
Ooh!
- One drink is plenty.
- Oh, come on.
I'll let you hit me with
public intoxication.
- Here, officer.
You need this more
than any of us.
- I'm not off duty till five.
- You're not gonna offer me any?
What? You don't think
I can handle my liquor?
Is that it?
- Calm down.
Nobody's saying that.
You're just feeling a
little under the weather.
So we're just gonna-
- Don't tell me
how I feel, bitch.
- Don't look at him, Jack.
- Well, hello.
- Do you mind if I
touch your forehead?
- Are you the makeup lady?
I'm really excited
for today's scenes,
especially the kissing one.
- Okay.
Okay, you're really warm.
- Jacqui, can you get us
another water bottle for Connor?
- What if I don't
wanna give him any?
- The fever's making
him act like a weirdo.
Water's gonna help.
- 1306 to 782.
Hey, go ahead 1306.
- Matthews.
What happened? I couldn't
get a hold of you earlier.
I was in
radio silence on the 1016.
It's a long story.
Listen, things are crazy.
So I don't got a
lot of time, kid.
- Things are crazy here too.
We've got a girl
with severe asthma
and a guy who's running
an extremely high fever.
And there's been some violent
sounds in the building.
Yeah. Sounds like
the apartments I remember.
Listen Daniels, I gotta run.
I'm on my way to
a 1034 downtown.
- Did you say a 1034?
Yeah,
I just geared up.
I'm heading there now.
- All right, well, take
care of yourself, partner.
Stay
safe. Over and out.
- What's a 1034?
- Rioting.
- Rioting?
- Here.
- Okay.
Help.
- Shut up.
- Where's everyone going?
What's happening?
- Hey.
- Come on.
- He's trying to get her.
- Jacqui.
Come here, look at me.
We're gonna take one of
those deep, slow breaths.
Okay? Look at me.
No. Slow breaths.
Look at me. Can
you please, Jacqui.
Come on, Jacqui.
- Let me in, let
me in, let me in.
- Inhaler.
- Help me in, Olivia.
- John, give me the inhaler now.
Here, Jacqui.
Oh my God.
- Lee.
I'm really, really sorry, Lee.
- Hey dude, hey don't do that.
- Officer, help me in.
- Sir.
I'm ordering you to stop.
You're gonna get
chopped in half.
- Olivia, pull me in please.
They're coming.
- Who's coming?
- Well, pull me in, pull me in.
Pull, pull.
- Boost me up.
- Olivia, no.
We need to close this.
- Mason, boost me.
John.
Are you all right?
What happened to your leg?
John.
I don't see anything.
- What happened to John?
- I don't know.
He's just, his leg
was all bloody.
He just limped away.
- Mom.
I want my mommy.
- She's gonna get in here.
- Everyone, close the door.
- Get her off.
Get her off.
- Stop moving.
- Ali.
Hey.
Olivia, there's a
dead woman in your room.
- What?
I don't know.
I just stepped away
for like two minutes.
She must've come in then.
- Okay. Okay.
You need to call the cops, okay?
Don't leave the apartment.
Just lock the door.
There's something
happening in the building.
What do you mean?
- I don't know.
People are going crazy.
What?
- Just lock the door
and call the cops, okay?
Just don't leave.
Okay. Okay.
- Okay. I love you.
I love you too.
- Okay, bye.
- 1306 to dispatch. Do you copy?
1306 to 782.
- I don't think
he's breathing, man.
- Wait.
Hang on.
Stop.
You don't wanna get what he has.
- That's smart.
- He moved. I just saw him move.
- Are you sure?
- Connor.
Connor, wake up.
Connor, calm down.
Connor, stop.
- Lee.
- Stop moving, that's an order.
- Lee, come on.
- I wanna help you.
Will you let me do that?
Connor, stop.
Please.
- Lee.
- Jacqui, can I use this?
- Hey Jack, you got
anything else in there
that could help us out?
Well, this could come in handy.
- They're not picking up.
- What?
- 911, I've called
like five times.
No one's answering.
- Why wouldn't
they be answering?
- There's a bunch of
weird noises outside.
I don't know what's going on.
- Help me with these doors.
- What are you doing?
- That woman over there
was gonna fit in here.
That means I can squeeze out.
- Yeah, or let all of them in.
- We need to talk
about this first.
- There's nothing to talk about.
It's my sister and I'm going.
Please.
- Idiots.
Wait, I'll get that side.
I have a feeling we're
probably gonna need that gun.
- Jacqui.
- Yup.
- Put this in the door
when they get it open.
Okay.
- Ready?
One.
Two.
Three.
- Okay now, Jack.
- I got it.
- Do you hear that?
- I don't hear anything.
- Sh!
Close the door.
That was John, wasn't it?
- She's okay.
She's okay.
- Backup will be
here any minute.
They'll send a whole
squad to get her.
Wait, what,
that's your plan?
Yeah.
- Look, 911 is not
working, there's rioting.
You can't even get
a hold of anybody.
Things are going south, fast.
- They'll be here.
I'm not giving up on them.
- How long are we gonna wait?
Till her sister dies?
Till the power goes out and
we're stuck in here forever?
Look, I'm a big boy.
I ain't squeezing
outta here, all right?
Look, we need a plan.
- Come on, dad.
- Hey, what about you, MacGyver?
What do you got?
You're an engineer
or something, right?
I mean, how would you
get us out of here?
- If I could get up
to the control room,
I could get this
elevator moving.
- I don't like any plan where
you leave this elevator alone.
Hi, this
is Nathan Fields.
- Matthews.
I'm here, we still need help.
Emergency evacuation.
Over...
Fire...
- Matthews repeat.
Okay.
Let's get you up to
that control room.
- Okay, so how are
we gonna do this?
- It's quiet.
Let's get these doors ready.
Come on.
- I'm about to be up there.
Listen, Olivia.
I hear loud noises
getting going.
They're all angry.
- Okay. You need to hold on
for just a few more minutes.
I'm about to be up there.
- Jacqui.
- Yeah.
- Cover us.
- Really?
- Ready?
- Pull.
There's so
many in the hall.
I can't get out of
here and get past them.
- I'm bringing back up.
- Jack, now.
- Good.
- Just sit tight. I'm
gonna see you really soon.
- Liv, give me your phone.
- Okay, I'm gonna bring the
elevator up to the top floor.
We're gonna take
'em out together.
- Look, I know you're
gonna want to move fast,
but you need to be quiet too.
These things are loud.
If you alert one, you
might alert them all.
- Here.
I set it up.
- You guys really
wanna do a video call.
- It's a good idea.
That's the best way for us
to know what's happening.
- Hey, don't screw this up.
- Boost me.
- Wait.
Take this.
You know how to use it?
- Yeah.
- Good.
There's two extra mags
in the front there.
- Thank you.
- Well, here we go.
- So far, so good.
No sign of 'em.
I don't like this,
it's so quiet.
Anything happening down there?
- No, no, nothing.
- What was that?
- Shut up.
She's trying to listen.
- Sorry.
- What is that?
- Olivia, hide.
Okay, I'm
gonna keep moving.
Here, you guys watch
the stairwell below.
I'm gonna keep an eye
out for anything above.
- Well, your shoes look great.
- Sorry. I can't
hold this while...
Ow!
- Olivia?
- This video call idea sucks.
How do I turn that off?
- Olivia, there's
something up there.
- Go back down.
I don't
hear anything.
- Did you mute it?
- No, they were insanely quiet.
Be careful. They're
headed downstairs.
Looks clear to me.
Damn it, not again.
Okay.
- Well, that's it.
- She just needs a few minutes.
One new message.
Jacqui.
Remember that time we
camped by the lake?
You and mom made that
whole bag of marshmallows?
I was so proud of you, Jacqui.
Your mom would be proud of you.
Listen, you've gotta be
strong for me now, okay?
I love you, Jack.
- Are you okay?
- Do you hear that?
What?
- Listen.
- That sounds like a kid.
- Let me look.
It's a little girl.
Hey.
Come on.
I can fit out here.
I have to go get her.
- No, no.
Now let me look.
- It's too dangerous, Jacqui.
- If I don't go out there,
they're gonna get her.
I'm not asking for
your permission.
- We can't protect
you out there.
- I don't need protecting.
- Right. Look, Olivia
had a real gun.
- You're just assuming that
something bad happened to her.
- She said those things are
on their way down here now.
That girl crying is drawing
them in as we speak.
- Which means that I need
to go get her right now.
- No, no. Don't let
her do this, man.
I got a bad feeling.
- Lee, I need to do this.
Please.
Are you guys just gonna sit
here and listen to this kid die?
- Listen to me.
You're gonna do this as quickly
and quietly as possible.
If she resists, you
clamp her mouth shut
and drag her back here.
Don't be gentle.
You're saving your
life, you understand?
- Yeah.
- Mason, boost her.
- Ready?
- Yeah.
- Good luck.
- Hey, little girl.
Hey, hey, are you all right.
- Lee, Lee, get off.
Hold on.
Let me look at Jacqui's phone.
I think that video auto saved.
- Are you okay?
Hey.
Everything's gonna be okay.
Shit, man. Look, right there.
- Jacqui.
Jacqui, don't.
Olivia, is that you?
Take us back down.
Jacqui's not in here.
- Jack, come on.
- Get Jacqui.
- Come on, Jack.
- Let's go. Come on.
- Stay back.
Okay, you saw what happened
to John after he was bit.
He turned fast, I'll
try to kill you.
- We're not leaving without you.
- No. Okay?
No one else is gonna
die because of me.
- Mason, grab her.
- What?
Put me down.
Do you wanna be the
one that has to do it?
Put me down.
- Come on!
I shouldn't have
let you do that.
- You didn't know.
Lee. You didn't know.
Okay, so we had to
do, okay, so we...
When's mom gonna be back?
Okay, I got it, I got it.
- Well?
- There's three of them
down there at the end.
Pounding on the door.
It's gotta be a stair well.
- Three?
I guess those came
down to get us.
- Yeah, well, if we
take them by surprise,
I think we've got this.
- Guys.
- Ali.
Come on.
Ali.
Open up.
- Oh shit!
- Get down, get down.
Here.
- Where's the other mag?
- Come on.
Grabbed the belt,
I had to ditch it.
I'm sorry.
- Olivia, hurry.
- Ali.
Ali.
No.
No.
Lee.
- Olivia.
- Jacqui.
Come on, kid.
Your dad wants to
play one of his games.
- Jack.
Jack.
Jack.
- Olivia.
Olivia.
- No.
- Olivia.
- No.
- Jacqui.
- When I do this, you're
gonna shut the door behind me.
- What?
- Take care of each other, okay?
Look after Olivia for me.
- Come on, man.
We've got maybe a
couple of minutes
before they break
that thing down.
So what's your plan?
- I don't know.
- Jacqui?
- There's a ledge out here.
We can make it across
the other unit.
Let's go.
- Pack that up.
- Yeah.
- Olivia.
I'm sorry,
but we have to keep moving.
- I'm not going anywhere.
I'm staying with her.
- Set the timer
for three minutes.
If we're not over there
by then, we're dead.
Leave without us.
- What are you
talking about, man?
- There's no time. Just go.
- Lee, man. She
doesn't wanna go.
- I know.
- Look, if you stay here-
- I know. I got this.
Just go, Mason.
Hey.
Take care of yourself.
- I always do.
- What are you doing?
Get out.
- I don't leave until you do.
- Then you're gonna die.
- Lee.
You're still here?
- You haven't quite
got rid of me yet.
Let's get the hell outta here.
- There's stairwells
to the left.
Let's try for that.
Back.
to live through.
Better get started.
- You know, if you
took the stairs more,
you might catch me next time.
- I don't know if
you're aware of this
but you're in handcuffs
right now, buddy.
- Yeah, but that's not
because you caught me.
Now, you wouldn't
have stood a chance
if that freak
didn't snitch on me.
- You mean the elderly
citizen who restrained you?
- Well, I didn't wanna hurt him.
- Right.
- Hold the door.
- Got an audition to be at.
- See if you can
call the front desk.
Yeah.
- Yeah. Hi.
So the elevator's stuck.
You kiddin' me.
This crap's gettin' old.
- Wait, how often
does this happen?
Look, I'll get
the elevator company
over here just as soon as I can.
Okay. And how
long has this gonna take?
Shouldn't be too long.
Could you be
more specific with the time?
No.
Sorry about this, everyone.
We'll have you out of
there as soon as we can.
- Let me see if there's
anything I can do about this.
1306 to 782.
You guys out?
I'm in front waiting.
- Actually, we're
stuck on the elevator.
Are you serious?
Are you guys alone?
- Negative.
How soon you think you
can have us out of here?
Daniels, I hate
to break it to you,
but I think you're
on elevator patrol
for the afternoon, kid.
I gotta go. I'm getting
a call for a 1016.
- Okay. Stay safe.
- Well, looks like we're not
going anywhere for a while.
We should probably
take these off, yeah?
- So you're new
to the force, huh?
I'm sorry.
I'm Connor.
- Officer Daniels.
- And what's your name?
- Me?
- Yeah.
- Oh, sorry.
Just not you used to
anybody talking to me
while I'm cuffed.
I'm Mason.
- Well, it's nice
to meet you, Mason.
- Sir, let's avoid
touching the perp please.
- Sorry.
Man, they're trying to freeze
us to death in here or what?
- Dude, it's boiling in here.
- You're warm?
- Yeah.
What's happening?
- It's all right. They're
just working on the elevator.
- What are you talking about?
It's not all right.
I'm gonna miss my audition
no thanks to this brat.
Everything was fine
until you got here.
- Sir, lower your voice.
- Do you know what you've done?
This was going to be
my role of a lifetime.
I was going to make it.
Excuse me, everyone.
Connor here.
Hey, Jen.
Hey.
Yeah.
Well, the craziest
thing just happened.
The elevator got stuck.
Yeah.
So unfortunately I don't think
I can get to this audition.
Well, I was wondering,
is there any possibility I
could schedule another one?
No, it's okay.
No, I totally understand.
Okay.
Well, hopefully we'll
be working together
sometime in the future.
Okay.
Thank you so much.
Thank you, I appreciate it.
Talk to you soon.
All right, bye.
C'est la vie.
What's up?
- I think you owe
her an apology.
- I'm sorry, did
I miss something?
- You yelled at her.
- When the lights went out?
You blamed her for
missing your audition.
- It's fine. Can we
just drop it please?
- I don't know what you
guys are talking about.
I mean, I'm gonna miss my
audition, but it's okay.
I mean, it could have
been a huge opportunity
but there'll be plenty more.
- Stop it.
You're freaking her
out. Just apologize.
- I'm not freaked out, okay?
- This is a prank, right?
- I don't know.
You tell me.
- I'm really sorry.
- We're not the ones you
need to apologize to.
- Hey.
Hello?
I'm Connor.
- Yeah, you're Connor.
You said that to
everybody here already.
- Well, what's your name?
- Jacqui.
Okay.
- Jacqui.
I'm really sorry for
whatever happened back there.
I'm seriously really
sorry that I scared you .
- I'm not scared, okay?
It's fine.
- What's up with the backpack?
- So Connor, why don't you
tell us about yourself?
You're an actor?
- Well, aspiring actor, yes.
- Have you suffered any
head trauma recently?
- Huh?
- Did you hit your
head or anything?
- No.
Are you
taking any substances?
- Are you asking
if I take drugs?
- I'm just concerned
about your wellbeing.
- I don't do drugs.
- Dammit, cop.
Just ask him if
you hear something.
- Do you have power
outages here often?
- This is weird,
even for this place.
- So, it's Olivia, right?
I never caught what you do.
- Mechanical engineer.
- So why do you live here?
I heard at career
day that engineering
jobs pay really well.
- Miss, why aren't you
in school right now?
Help!
- Sir.
Help!
- Sir, the elevator's stuck.
I'm a police officer.
What's going on out there?
My girlfriend's
trying to kill me.
- I've been there before.
- Sir, I need you to
get to a safe place.
I'm gonna send-
1306 to dispatch.
Talk to me. Are you all right?
- Shit!
- Dammit, Mason.
- Asthma.
1306 to dispatch.
- I don't have my inhaler.
- Dispatch, where are you?
- I've got this. Just
take care of Connor, okay.
Jacqui, Jacqui, look at me.
Okay.
- Connor.
- Hi officer. I'm Connor.
- Okay, Connor.
I'm gonna have you sit
down right over here, okay?
- What's wrong with her?
- You can do it, slow breaths.
- Hey, you need to get
the fire department
and an ambulance
down here right now.
- Focus on me.
Let it out, slowly.
Okay. Good, deep breaths.
Okay, good.
Hello?
This is dispatch.
Go ahead, 1306.
Over.
- I'm stuck in an elevator
with three civilians and a perp
in an apartment
building on 5th Avenue.
- It's the Palmer apartments.
- It's the Palmer apartments.
I believe we're stuck somewhere
near the fourth floor.
I'm requesting fire,
medical and backup.
This is an emergency.
I heard a violent
altercation in the hallway
and we have a young
female in here
who's suffering from
respiratory problems,
and a young male suffering
from drug withdrawals
or an overdose or something.
Send help, over
10-4, 1306.
Checking on available
units. Over.
- I don't do drugs.
- See? You got through it.
Won't be long now.
Just keep breathing.
Stay with me.
1306, all
available personnel
are currently handling
other emergencies,
but we will send the
first available units.
ETA is two hours. Over.
- Come again?
ETA is two hours.
We're flooded with
calls right now.
Over.
- It's okay.
They always overestimate the
amount of time they need, okay?
It's okay.
Just keep breathing.
Good. Nice, long breaths.
1306.
- Look, I don't know
if it's fast enough.
This girl's asthma is terrible.
There's gotta be
something else we can do.
Some sort of alternative.
Maybe I can get
some outside help.
Negative, 1306.
Hold tight and wait for us.
I understand the situation,
but the safest thing for you
and everyone in there is to
stay right where you are.
Trying to exit or tamper
with that elevator equipment
creates an incredibly
dangerous situation.
Understood?
Over.
- 10-4.
Over.
Hang in
there, officer.
Over and out.
- It's too long, okay?
Her asthma's really, really bad.
And with him acting like that,
we're gonna need her
inhaler really soon.
- Ma'am, I appreciate your
concern and all your help
but there's nothing
else I can do here.
- Yes, there is, sir.
Look, I have personal
experience with this elevator.
I know how it works.
- What?
- It's a long story, okay?
The point is, I can get us help.
All I need to do is
open these doors.
If we're lucky, we'll
be opening on a floor
and we can just walk
right out of here.
- I can't permit any
tampering with the elevator.
- Tampering's a strong word
for what we'd be doing.
We'd just be opening the doors.
- The dispatcher said
it was dangerous, so-
- No, it's not.
I mean, it's...
There's a slight risk
for only you and me.
Nobody else in this room.
I'm willing to take the risk
and I think you are too.
Why did you become a cop?
To enforce some rules
or to help people?
'cause there's a
girl in this room
that needs your help right now.
So what's it gonna be?
- I can't.
Olivia.
I'm sorry.
- Tell that to her.
- Keep it together, loser.
Jacqui, I need to
see your phone.
- Why?
We need to
call your parents.
- You don't have to
call my dad, I'm...
- He needs to know
what's going on here.
Let's do this the easy way.
- Just do what he says, Jacqui.
Thank you.
Hi, this
is Nathan Fields.
Sorry I couldn't take
your call right now
but please leave me a message
and I'll get back to
you as soon as possible.
- Hi, Mr. Fields.
I'm officer Daniels and I'm
here with your daughter, Jacqui.
And she's having some
asthma issues at the moment.
If you can give me a call
back when you get this,
that would be appreciated.
Thank you.
Connor.
- Sorry.
1306.
- Olivia.
All right, so how do we do this?
- Okay.
Well, we're gonna need his help.
Mason?
With what?
- Somebody needs to watch her.
Otherwise her asthma
is gonna get worse.
- Yeah. He's not exactly
the guy for that job.
- Well, we don't exactly have
a more qualified
candidate, do we?
- Mason.
Get over here.
- So how can I
help, John McClain?
- We need you to
sit with Jacqui.
Just talk to her
and keep her calm
while we open these doors.
- Wait, wait, is that
a request or a command?
Pretty sure you can't force
me to babysit against my will.
- Fine.
Then it's a request.
- Oh well, I'd be
happy to help them.
So what do I get in return?
Come on.
- Just tell us what you want.
- Okay, well, for starters,
take these cuffs off.
No.
We can't trust him.
He's dangerous.
Yeah, 'cause I
might steal your wallet.
- Mason, please.
- Okay. Fine.
I'd take some booze.
- What?
- Yeah. Come on.
I saw you sneaking something
in the corner there.
- Okay. Go.
- And don't let her
look at Connor, okay.
Anything you have to do to
keep your mind off the asthma.
- Yeah, I can do that.
Hi.
- One.
Two.
Three.
- Jeez, take it easy.
You're talking my ear off here.
Oh, so what's in the
bag anyway? Can I look?
I'll just take that as a yes.
Ow!
Easy, kid.
- Don't call me a kid, dumb ass.
- Okay.
- Now what.
- Let go on three.
One.
Two.
Three.
- Well, we're not
getting out that way.
- Maybe we don't have to.
Someone could bring
us the inhaler.
- Olivia.
- You come prepared, girl.
- Thanks.
- We need something to
wedge these doors open.
- Well, we got nothing.
- Would this work?
- That'll do it.
- Hey, officer.
- How are you feeling, Connor?
- Pretty good, really?
- You want some water?
- Sure.
Why not?
- Hey, hey.
You can't look at him.
- They're not watching.
- I'm worried about him.
- You'll still get your booze.
Yeah, I heard you guys talking.
You weren't exactly
quiet and oh yeah,
you were like five
feet over there?
- Look, look, that wasn't
about the booze, okay?
That cop, he thinks he can
make me do whatever he wants.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Just shut up about it, okay?
I get it.
Again, on three.
- Let me see him.
I will punch you again.
- Fine.
- Is he gonna be okay?
- Look, you just worry
about yourself, okay?
- Jack, look at me, it's okay.
Hey, guys.
- That's it!
What happened?
- What did you do?
- Man, look cop, there's
something seriously off
with this dude.
Hey look, his eyes were all
screwed up for a second.
When she saw that, her
asthma flared up again.
You gotta do something
about this guy.
- I knew I couldn't trust you.
- And you're not listening.
Some scary shit just
went down here, okay?
You really gotta do-
- Hey, I don't wanna hear it.
- Officer.
He's telling...
- Jacqui, Jacqui.
Don't talk, okay?
Just focus on your breathing.
Okay?
- Hello!
Can anyone hear me?
We're in the elevator.
We need help.
What are you doing?
- I'm recruiting my sister
to get that inhaler.
Ali.
- Liv, I just heard
a bunch of gunshots in the hall.
- Are you okay?
There's something
going on in the hall.
- Sir, sir, we're
in the elevator.
We need help.
- Okay, just lock the door?
I'm gonna be there
as soon as I can.
Everything's gonna be okay.
Listen, there's someone in
here with really bad asthma.
Can you please go
to her apartment
and get her inhaler?
Please.
- Yes. Yes, of course.
- Thank you. Hold on one sec.
- 605, probably on
the kitchen counter.
- Okay. No, no, no.
Don't put your hand in here.
That's how you lose it.
I'm gonna just toss
it to you, okay?
It's apartment 605.
Probably somewhere on the
kitchen counter, okay?
- All right.
I'll be back as fast as I can.
I'm John from 419.
You're Olivia, right?
I think I've seen
you around before.
Got it. Going.
- Thank you.
- Nice work.
Thanks.
- Nice work yourself, officer.
- Lee.
- I don't know any other Lees.
No, I lied.
Lee Harvey Oswald.
- Oh yeah.
- Yeah.
- Harvey.
- Olivia, officer Lee.
- You didn't hold up
your end of the bargain.
We can't give this guy an inch.
- Come on. Let's keep the peace.
- Oh.
Ooh!
- One drink is plenty.
- Oh, come on.
I'll let you hit me with
public intoxication.
- Here, officer.
You need this more
than any of us.
- I'm not off duty till five.
- You're not gonna offer me any?
What? You don't think
I can handle my liquor?
Is that it?
- Calm down.
Nobody's saying that.
You're just feeling a
little under the weather.
So we're just gonna-
- Don't tell me
how I feel, bitch.
- Don't look at him, Jack.
- Well, hello.
- Do you mind if I
touch your forehead?
- Are you the makeup lady?
I'm really excited
for today's scenes,
especially the kissing one.
- Okay.
Okay, you're really warm.
- Jacqui, can you get us
another water bottle for Connor?
- What if I don't
wanna give him any?
- The fever's making
him act like a weirdo.
Water's gonna help.
- 1306 to 782.
Hey, go ahead 1306.
- Matthews.
What happened? I couldn't
get a hold of you earlier.
I was in
radio silence on the 1016.
It's a long story.
Listen, things are crazy.
So I don't got a
lot of time, kid.
- Things are crazy here too.
We've got a girl
with severe asthma
and a guy who's running
an extremely high fever.
And there's been some violent
sounds in the building.
Yeah. Sounds like
the apartments I remember.
Listen Daniels, I gotta run.
I'm on my way to
a 1034 downtown.
- Did you say a 1034?
Yeah,
I just geared up.
I'm heading there now.
- All right, well, take
care of yourself, partner.
Stay
safe. Over and out.
- What's a 1034?
- Rioting.
- Rioting?
- Here.
- Okay.
Help.
- Shut up.
- Where's everyone going?
What's happening?
- Hey.
- Come on.
- He's trying to get her.
- Jacqui.
Come here, look at me.
We're gonna take one of
those deep, slow breaths.
Okay? Look at me.
No. Slow breaths.
Look at me. Can
you please, Jacqui.
Come on, Jacqui.
- Let me in, let
me in, let me in.
- Inhaler.
- Help me in, Olivia.
- John, give me the inhaler now.
Here, Jacqui.
Oh my God.
- Lee.
I'm really, really sorry, Lee.
- Hey dude, hey don't do that.
- Officer, help me in.
- Sir.
I'm ordering you to stop.
You're gonna get
chopped in half.
- Olivia, pull me in please.
They're coming.
- Who's coming?
- Well, pull me in, pull me in.
Pull, pull.
- Boost me up.
- Olivia, no.
We need to close this.
- Mason, boost me.
John.
Are you all right?
What happened to your leg?
John.
I don't see anything.
- What happened to John?
- I don't know.
He's just, his leg
was all bloody.
He just limped away.
- Mom.
I want my mommy.
- She's gonna get in here.
- Everyone, close the door.
- Get her off.
Get her off.
- Stop moving.
- Ali.
Hey.
Olivia, there's a
dead woman in your room.
- What?
I don't know.
I just stepped away
for like two minutes.
She must've come in then.
- Okay. Okay.
You need to call the cops, okay?
Don't leave the apartment.
Just lock the door.
There's something
happening in the building.
What do you mean?
- I don't know.
People are going crazy.
What?
- Just lock the door
and call the cops, okay?
Just don't leave.
Okay. Okay.
- Okay. I love you.
I love you too.
- Okay, bye.
- 1306 to dispatch. Do you copy?
1306 to 782.
- I don't think
he's breathing, man.
- Wait.
Hang on.
Stop.
You don't wanna get what he has.
- That's smart.
- He moved. I just saw him move.
- Are you sure?
- Connor.
Connor, wake up.
Connor, calm down.
Connor, stop.
- Lee.
- Stop moving, that's an order.
- Lee, come on.
- I wanna help you.
Will you let me do that?
Connor, stop.
Please.
- Lee.
- Jacqui, can I use this?
- Hey Jack, you got
anything else in there
that could help us out?
Well, this could come in handy.
- They're not picking up.
- What?
- 911, I've called
like five times.
No one's answering.
- Why wouldn't
they be answering?
- There's a bunch of
weird noises outside.
I don't know what's going on.
- Help me with these doors.
- What are you doing?
- That woman over there
was gonna fit in here.
That means I can squeeze out.
- Yeah, or let all of them in.
- We need to talk
about this first.
- There's nothing to talk about.
It's my sister and I'm going.
Please.
- Idiots.
Wait, I'll get that side.
I have a feeling we're
probably gonna need that gun.
- Jacqui.
- Yup.
- Put this in the door
when they get it open.
Okay.
- Ready?
One.
Two.
Three.
- Okay now, Jack.
- I got it.
- Do you hear that?
- I don't hear anything.
- Sh!
Close the door.
That was John, wasn't it?
- She's okay.
She's okay.
- Backup will be
here any minute.
They'll send a whole
squad to get her.
Wait, what,
that's your plan?
Yeah.
- Look, 911 is not
working, there's rioting.
You can't even get
a hold of anybody.
Things are going south, fast.
- They'll be here.
I'm not giving up on them.
- How long are we gonna wait?
Till her sister dies?
Till the power goes out and
we're stuck in here forever?
Look, I'm a big boy.
I ain't squeezing
outta here, all right?
Look, we need a plan.
- Come on, dad.
- Hey, what about you, MacGyver?
What do you got?
You're an engineer
or something, right?
I mean, how would you
get us out of here?
- If I could get up
to the control room,
I could get this
elevator moving.
- I don't like any plan where
you leave this elevator alone.
Hi, this
is Nathan Fields.
- Matthews.
I'm here, we still need help.
Emergency evacuation.
Over...
Fire...
- Matthews repeat.
Okay.
Let's get you up to
that control room.
- Okay, so how are
we gonna do this?
- It's quiet.
Let's get these doors ready.
Come on.
- I'm about to be up there.
Listen, Olivia.
I hear loud noises
getting going.
They're all angry.
- Okay. You need to hold on
for just a few more minutes.
I'm about to be up there.
- Jacqui.
- Yeah.
- Cover us.
- Really?
- Ready?
- Pull.
There's so
many in the hall.
I can't get out of
here and get past them.
- I'm bringing back up.
- Jack, now.
- Good.
- Just sit tight. I'm
gonna see you really soon.
- Liv, give me your phone.
- Okay, I'm gonna bring the
elevator up to the top floor.
We're gonna take
'em out together.
- Look, I know you're
gonna want to move fast,
but you need to be quiet too.
These things are loud.
If you alert one, you
might alert them all.
- Here.
I set it up.
- You guys really
wanna do a video call.
- It's a good idea.
That's the best way for us
to know what's happening.
- Hey, don't screw this up.
- Boost me.
- Wait.
Take this.
You know how to use it?
- Yeah.
- Good.
There's two extra mags
in the front there.
- Thank you.
- Well, here we go.
- So far, so good.
No sign of 'em.
I don't like this,
it's so quiet.
Anything happening down there?
- No, no, nothing.
- What was that?
- Shut up.
She's trying to listen.
- Sorry.
- What is that?
- Olivia, hide.
Okay, I'm
gonna keep moving.
Here, you guys watch
the stairwell below.
I'm gonna keep an eye
out for anything above.
- Well, your shoes look great.
- Sorry. I can't
hold this while...
Ow!
- Olivia?
- This video call idea sucks.
How do I turn that off?
- Olivia, there's
something up there.
- Go back down.
I don't
hear anything.
- Did you mute it?
- No, they were insanely quiet.
Be careful. They're
headed downstairs.
Looks clear to me.
Damn it, not again.
Okay.
- Well, that's it.
- She just needs a few minutes.
One new message.
Jacqui.
Remember that time we
camped by the lake?
You and mom made that
whole bag of marshmallows?
I was so proud of you, Jacqui.
Your mom would be proud of you.
Listen, you've gotta be
strong for me now, okay?
I love you, Jack.
- Are you okay?
- Do you hear that?
What?
- Listen.
- That sounds like a kid.
- Let me look.
It's a little girl.
Hey.
Come on.
I can fit out here.
I have to go get her.
- No, no.
Now let me look.
- It's too dangerous, Jacqui.
- If I don't go out there,
they're gonna get her.
I'm not asking for
your permission.
- We can't protect
you out there.
- I don't need protecting.
- Right. Look, Olivia
had a real gun.
- You're just assuming that
something bad happened to her.
- She said those things are
on their way down here now.
That girl crying is drawing
them in as we speak.
- Which means that I need
to go get her right now.
- No, no. Don't let
her do this, man.
I got a bad feeling.
- Lee, I need to do this.
Please.
Are you guys just gonna sit
here and listen to this kid die?
- Listen to me.
You're gonna do this as quickly
and quietly as possible.
If she resists, you
clamp her mouth shut
and drag her back here.
Don't be gentle.
You're saving your
life, you understand?
- Yeah.
- Mason, boost her.
- Ready?
- Yeah.
- Good luck.
- Hey, little girl.
Hey, hey, are you all right.
- Lee, Lee, get off.
Hold on.
Let me look at Jacqui's phone.
I think that video auto saved.
- Are you okay?
Hey.
Everything's gonna be okay.
Shit, man. Look, right there.
- Jacqui.
Jacqui, don't.
Olivia, is that you?
Take us back down.
Jacqui's not in here.
- Jack, come on.
- Get Jacqui.
- Come on, Jack.
- Let's go. Come on.
- Stay back.
Okay, you saw what happened
to John after he was bit.
He turned fast, I'll
try to kill you.
- We're not leaving without you.
- No. Okay?
No one else is gonna
die because of me.
- Mason, grab her.
- What?
Put me down.
Do you wanna be the
one that has to do it?
Put me down.
- Come on!
I shouldn't have
let you do that.
- You didn't know.
Lee. You didn't know.
Okay, so we had to
do, okay, so we...
When's mom gonna be back?
Okay, I got it, I got it.
- Well?
- There's three of them
down there at the end.
Pounding on the door.
It's gotta be a stair well.
- Three?
I guess those came
down to get us.
- Yeah, well, if we
take them by surprise,
I think we've got this.
- Guys.
- Ali.
Come on.
Ali.
Open up.
- Oh shit!
- Get down, get down.
Here.
- Where's the other mag?
- Come on.
Grabbed the belt,
I had to ditch it.
I'm sorry.
- Olivia, hurry.
- Ali.
Ali.
No.
No.
Lee.
- Olivia.
- Jacqui.
Come on, kid.
Your dad wants to
play one of his games.
- Jack.
Jack.
Jack.
- Olivia.
Olivia.
- No.
- Olivia.
- No.
- Jacqui.
- When I do this, you're
gonna shut the door behind me.
- What?
- Take care of each other, okay?
Look after Olivia for me.
- Come on, man.
We've got maybe a
couple of minutes
before they break
that thing down.
So what's your plan?
- I don't know.
- Jacqui?
- There's a ledge out here.
We can make it across
the other unit.
Let's go.
- Pack that up.
- Yeah.
- Olivia.
I'm sorry,
but we have to keep moving.
- I'm not going anywhere.
I'm staying with her.
- Set the timer
for three minutes.
If we're not over there
by then, we're dead.
Leave without us.
- What are you
talking about, man?
- There's no time. Just go.
- Lee, man. She
doesn't wanna go.
- I know.
- Look, if you stay here-
- I know. I got this.
Just go, Mason.
Hey.
Take care of yourself.
- I always do.
- What are you doing?
Get out.
- I don't leave until you do.
- Then you're gonna die.
- Lee.
You're still here?
- You haven't quite
got rid of me yet.
Let's get the hell outta here.
- There's stairwells
to the left.
Let's try for that.
Back.
