Evasive Action (1998) - full transcript
When Redwood Federal Penitentiary closes, there are going to be several hundred prisoners looking for a new home. Several of the most dangerous, all killers, will be transported by train to Santa Ana, a new high tech prison for the worst of the worst. Included in this transfer are: -Ian Kelly, explosions expert who has set off terrorist bombings worldwide. -Lorenzo "Enzo" Martini, a mafia kingpin who enjoyed nationwide fame before finally being put away. -Karl "The Killer" Miller, a serial killer with absolutely no conscience and an unquenchable thirst for blood. -Tommy "Zimm" Zimmer, a man who's serving life for killing his wife and her lover. -Luke Sinclair, who's finishing up the last nine months of a fifteen-year sentence for killing the man who murdered his wife. When the prisoners, under heavy security, board the last car of the train, it quickly becomes clear that an escape plan has been hatched...

MAN: No!
Will the defendant
please rise.
I am truly ashamed of what
I have to do here today.
Nevertheless, due to
the recent developments,
the accidental contamination
of DNA and blood evidence,
I am left with no alternative.
Cases dismissed.
Defendant is free to go.
[gavel pounding]
[music playing]
[blowing kiss]
[music playing]
- Hey!
- No!
No, no, no!

[door slamming]
[music playing]
Mr. Sinclair, would
you be seated please?
Well, it looks like you've
had an uneventful six months.
Do you feel like
you're fit enough
to be released in society?
Yes, sir, I do.
Do you understand the
seriousness of the crime
that you committed?
I know I killed a man.
Do you feel that you've
been rehabilitated?
Well, sir, I never felt
I needed rehabilitation.
He didn't deserve to live.
Look, Mr. Sinclair, I'm
getting tired of going
over this every six months.
Now why don't you just sign
this affidavit admitting
that you were wrong, and
that you're a changed man,
and then your chances of parole
will be increased dramatically.
Sir, with all due respect,
my integrity is the only thing
I have left in this world.
And I resent you trying
to take that from me also.
Very well.
[music playing]
Soup's on.
Hey Kelly, come
and get your tray.
Well, I guess I'll
take your cake then.
[music playing]
[muffled prisoners taunting]
Yo, Luke, no go?
No go.
I'm sorry to hear that, man.
I really thought you
had it this time.
Shit, if they ain't
gonna let you out,
I'm going to be
here till I'm 200.
Nah, you got to play the game.
Just tell them what
they want to hear,
you'll be outta here in no time.
Look, I hope you don't
take this the wrong way,
but every time you come back,
I can't help but to smile.
You falling in love, Zim?
I know a few boys in the yard
will be very disappointed.
Man, shut the hell up, please.
Black man try to show his
emotions and what does he get?
Lip, and nothing more.
If it makes you
feel any better
I'm glad you my neighbor
instead of somebody like Hector.
Oh yeah, that makes me
feel a whole lot better.
Hector.
Jesus Christ.
[laughter]
Sit down, Hector.
Sign this.
And you get to go
to brand new home.
Isn't that nice?
Frankly, my dear,
I don't give a damn.
[music playing]
Sign it, Hector.
There's no place like home.
There's no place like home.
I can't say I'm
sorry to see you go.
[inmates calling out]
Hey man.
- What's happening?
- All right.
OK.
Give me some smokes, Charlie.
INMATE: Hey Carpone.
End of the lines back here.
There are no cuts.
Excuse me.
You heard what I said.
I don't give a damn who
you are now outside.
In here you're
nothing what a crook.
Put a ring on your pinky.
Gets your ass at
the end of the line.
I'll tell you what, this
is a democracy more or less.
Let's put it to a vote.
Any you gentlemen object to my
cutting in front of the line?
[group all saying no]
See.
That settles it.
You know what
democracy is don't you?
They did teach you that at,
uh, Harvard didn't they?
[laughter]
[inmates taunting]
Thank you.
[music playing]
Look out!
[crowd cheering]
Peel that crook's
head like an onion.
No.
[music playing]
How many years you doing, kid?
14, 15, or
something like that.
How many have you done.
12.
12.
What's the matter with you?
You should have been outta
here three years ago.
You're not using your brains.
I guess I'm not that smart.
Sure you are.
You're just cursed with
too much character.
I like that.
What you have to do is
learn how to combine
character and brains.
Terry give me a book
of matches, will you?
And tell the warden I
want to talk to him.
Thanks.
You see?
Life is all about compromises.
But only smart guys
like you and me know
how to take advantage of that.
I'll remember that the next
time I need a pack of matches.
Listen to what
I'm telling you kid.
You compromise your
safety to protect me
and I'm in debt to for that.
And in here an Enzo Marcelli
debt is no small thing.
[music playing]
Will the defendant
please rise.
I am truly ashamed of
what I have to do today.
I am left with no alternative.
Nevertheless, due to
the recent developments,
the accidental contamination
of DNA and blood evidence.
Hey!
[gun firing]
I understand the rage
in your heart, Sir,
at the man accused of killing
your wife and daughter
but the law is there for
a reason, and justice
cannot prevail if we ignore it.
For your act of bold,
remorseless vengeance.
I sentence you to 15
years in state prison.
[music playing]
Oh, here's a whole
lot of trouble.
WARDEN JACK KRAMER: C'mon in.
Sit down.
Thanks for seeing me.
What can I do for you?
It's about that transfer.
What about it?
I don't want it,
seeing as how I've served
of most of my sentence here.
What makes you think
your opinion counts?
After 12 years you get
used to a place, you know.
The routine.
How to keep your nose clean.
Like yesterday?
The word is Redwood is some
sort of high tech facility,
exclusively for murderers.
Well the last time I checked,
you still were a murder.
Warden, there's a
difference between me--
Look Sinclair, you're
being transferred to Redwood.
It's already been decided by--
well, let's just
say a higher power.
Besides, I've got a good feeling
everything will work out OK.
Just don't rock the boat and
everything will be just fine.
[music playing]
[buzzer buzzing]
[music playing]
Come on.
Alex, please let me
help you with that.
Please, Mommy.
I'm perfectly capable.
[grunting]
So listen.
Mom's going to meet you
at the train station,
and I want you to call me
as soon as you get there.
So let me give you some
money in case you want
some lunch or something, OK?
There you go.
$5.00, I don't see
any golden arches.
Here's five more.
Thanks sis.
You're welcome.
Hey, would you like to
help you with that, sweetie.
Hey, watch the Italians.
I have an IQ of 143 and
a green belt in taekwondo.
I think I'm perfectly capable
of lugging this suitcase.
Don't you?
Hey, you got yourself
little wisenheimer over here.
She belong to you?
She's my sister.
Lucky you.
Ha.
Be nice, OK?
Bye.
Hello.
Hi.
Oh, I'm feeling in for Andy.
Oh yeah?
Yeah, yeah, I'm
usually on the 1700 line.
Joe Manetti.
Well, it's nice to
meet you, Zoe Clark.
Would you stash my
stuff for a second?
Right back here?
Yeah, my collection
of toy trains.
Got everything in.
Got a passenger car, dining
car, little red caboose.
You know, choo-choo.
[laughter]
Thanks, I didn't know
what you meant until you
did the old choo-choo thing.
- Want me to do it again?
No, that's OK.
Thanks.
Uh huh.
Choo-choo.
Hey, Warden.
Jack Kramer.
Ralph Kantor.
How are you, Ralph.
All right, let's get
this show on the road.
Who's who?
That's Tommy Zimmer,
first degree murder.
Killed his wife and the girl
she was screwing around with.
He's doing life.
Luke Sinclair.
His wife and
daughter were killed.
So what does he do?
He pops the guy who did it
right on the courthouse steps.
Can't say I wouldn't
have done the same thing.
He's a pretty
straight shooter.
I doubt he'll give
you any trouble.
That's Hector, The
Director, Miller,
murdered 11 people
about six years ago.
Always reenacts a scene
from a horror film.
Mostly talks in movie quotes.
Yeah, I heard some story about
when this guy was in county
waiting to get transferred.
Yeah, pretended to
have a heart attack.
Yeah.
When the nurse
came, ole Hector--
I heard he bit her
tongue off, right?
Yeah.
that's Ian Kelly, convicted
arsonist an explosives expert.
He fashioned a
bomb out of a roll
of tinfoil and drain cleaner.
Killed 14 people at
a rent-a-car agency.
Said he wasn't satisfied
with the service.
Apparently not.
Yeah, this one I know.
Lorenzo Marcelli
head of the biggest
crime family on the West Coast.
What's he serving?
300 years?
He's only got 292 left.
I tell you Jack,
I'd feel a helluva
lot better if we were flying.
Well ever since that
plane load of prisoners
went down in Vegas,
the FAA doesn't wanna
have anything to do with us.
Besides, that's the
state of New York car.
I doubt if the passengers will
ever even know you're there.
[music playing]
You're in my seat.
What?
We're going to
need a bigger boat.
Get out of my seat.
What?
Are you some kind of moron?
[music playing]
Get him up.
Been told you're
not a troublemaker,
so I'll give you the benefit
of the doubt on this one.
As for the rest of
ya, I don't want
to hear a peep
unless you're dying
or your teeth are floating.
Looks like teacher has a pet.
Excuse me, do you think I
can have something to drink?
Well I'm not really
supposed to be serving yet,
but I think I'll make an
exception in your case.
A beer will be fine.
Domestic or imported?
Domestic please.
Here you go.
Root beer, my favorite kind.
[laughter]
- I'm Zoe.
What's your name?
Alex Kittner and I'm
traveling all by myself.
Wow, well where's your seat.
I'll come by later, we
can play some cards.
I only play for money.
Well me too.
I paid for my entire college
education playing Go Fish.
Hey, sweetie,
scotch and water.
I'm sorry, sir.
I can't start serving till
the train starts moving.
Kid's got a drink.
She asked nicely.
Gee, I'm sorry.
Pretty please can I
have a scotch rocks,
miss train bartender lady.
We're leaving soon, sir.
I guess I'll wait.
Can I see your
ticket there, sir.
It must be back at my seat.
Can I give it to you later?
Sure, how about
yours, little lady.
You ticket please.
[low whistle]
Pow.
[train whistle blowing]
[music playing]
Thanks, doll.
That man had a gun.
A gun?
Wow, what kind do
you think it was?
Maybe a laser gun?
Or spear gun?
Hmm, glue gun maybe?
Zoe, I'm serious.
Well maybe he's a policeman.
I can check it out.
Why don't you go
back to your seat,
and I'll see you in
a little while, OK?
Vitamin C.
[music playing]
[train horn blowing]
Excuse me.
Excuse me.
I have to go to the bathroom.
Already.
Well we've been the
train quite a while.
It's, uh, jiggly, you know?
Take him back.
Hey, can I get a cup
of coffee, extra hot?
Yeah, sure.
Joe, you remember that little
girl that was here earlier.
Yeah.
She thinks she one of
the passengers with a gun.
Now it was that guy who
didn't have his ticket.
He's a cop.
I was talking to him
just a second ago.
Hey, can I get my bag.
Yeah, that's great.
I just get worried, you know.
Choo-choo.
Please.
Nice try.
Well how do you suggest
I use the toilet paper.
Improvise.
[music playing]
Oh, excuse me, hot coffee.
[music playing]
[gasping]
Got ya.
Thought you were that
greasy head with the gun.
Well you must watch
too many gangster movies.
He's really a policeman.
He didn't look like
a policeman to me.
Go Fish?
Buck a hand.
Marcelli, what
are you doing there?
Giving birth?
I'll be right out.
[music playing]
Sir, this is a
restricted area.
Somebody told me to, uh,
bring you a cup of coffee.
It's, uh, hazelnut.
I didn't order any coffee.
Well, since you're buying.
[gasping]
[music playing]
[suppressed gun firing]
All right, Marcelli, let's go.
All right, Enzo, pick up your
panties because I'm coming in.
[grunting]
Get down.
I love the smell of
napalm in the morning.
Open the gate.
Smells like victory.
[gasping]
[guns firing]
INMATE: Go, go.
[guns firing]

[music playing]
About time you got here.
I wouldn't miss this party.
The inner door's locked.
Calm down.
Get a key off one
of these guards.
And get rid of that gun.
Fitz, you go over the top.
Joe, work your way
through the train.
I don't believe it, it worked.
No celebrating until we
get off the goddamn train.
Enzo.
Thanks, but I'm OK.
Hey, I went through
a lot of trouble
to get you on this train.
You ain't spurning my
friendship are you?
Know, Enzo.
It's just--
Good, because you're
either with us or against us.
See this guy?
He was against us.
Don't worry, kid, we
won't hold it against you.
What about dude?
Go ahead, make my day.
We'll leave him locked up.
Time to get dressed.
[music playing]
Is there a phone of some
sort or radio in here?
I'm sorry, sir, you're
not allowed behind the bar.
Just answer the question.
Right, there's a
radio in the locomotive.
OK, you're really gonna
need to find a phone
in case i don't make it.
OK, see you're
starting to scare me--
- Listen to me.
- Just a little bit.
There's six convicts from
Santa Ana Prison back there.
They just killed
four of my deputies
and now they're after me.
I need you to call the police.
You're kidding me, right?
Just do it.
Where are you going?
I'm going to take control
of this train before they do.
[music playing]
[door opening and closing]
[music playing]
In less than an hour
we'll be off this train
into a nice, little helicopter.
By the time the train
gets to San Diego
and they start looking for
us, we'll be long gone.
It's absolutely important that
they don't suspect anything.
Capiche?
All right, let's get
rid of the bodies.
[music playing]
[phone ringing]
DISPATCH OFFICER:
Sheriff's office.
Yes, hi, please,
please listen to me.
There, there are
dangerous prisoners loose.
Do you get that part?
DISPATCH OFFICER: Please hold.
Now please don't
put me on hold.
A hell of a thing
killing a man.
Take away all he's got and
all he's ever going to have.
C'mon.
C'mon.
[music playing]
[phone ringing]
Sheriff's office.
Excuse me?
Hold on.
No, you can't put
me on hold again.
Apparently he can.
Shit.
Wes, we've got emergency
phone call from somewhere
outside of Brownsville county.
Something about a
hostage situation?
They're on line two.
This is Sheriff Blaidek.
- Oh good.
Thank you.
Please just listen
to what I'm saying.
My name is Zoe Clark.
I'm a bartender on the West
Rail San Diego train line.
There are prisoners
loose on board.
Hold on, Zo, just slow down.
OK, see, now that you're not
listening to what I'm saying.
My name is Zoe, not Zo.
And I can't really
slow down right now.
Excuse me, lady.
Jesus.
[music playing]
[yelling]
[music playing]
[interposing voices]
[music playing]
Hey.
PASSENGER: What?
Shut up.
PASSENGER: Jerk.
[phone ringing]
Warden Kramer.
Warden, this is Deputy Sheriff
Matt Baker of the Independence
County Sheriff's Department.
Sir, we have an emergency here.
Your prisoners have
over taken the train
and are holding hostages.
Shit.
[music playing]
Now you're doing
just great, Zoe.
now I know it's
going to be tough,
but you have to try
and act naturally.
Hold on a minute.
- All right.
SHERIFF WES BLAIDEK:
What've you got.
I got Warden Kramer,
Lancaster State Penitentiary.
He's on line three.
Now, Zoe, I just want
you to act normal, and then
call me back in 15 minutes, OK?
This is Blaidek.
[music playing]
Who the hell are you?
- Look, it's all right.
- You can't be in here.
Get out.
Look, I'm with the
prison transport.
The prisoners have
escaped and they're armed.
Now just drive
the goddamn train.
[music playing]
Those men have been
in my custody for years.
I know them better
than anybody else.
All right Warden,
I'm going to send
someone to bring it down here.
But before you go, fax
us whatever you have.
Photos, profiles,
anything that might help.
[sighing]
God damn it.
Notify the state police.
And I want to move
this to the mobile unit
so we can follow that train.
Now give me a direct line
to Zoe and a direct line
to the rail company.
OFFICER: All right.
OFFICER RALPH KANTOR:
Where's your radio?
All I got is just one way
to the railway control center.
They got a guy on
watch 24 hours.
That'll have to do.
Hello, this is
Officer Ralph Kantor,
and we have an emergency.
Hello, is anybody there?
look, you sure this
thing's working?
I just use about an hour ago.
You just got to keep on trying.
It always works, eventually.
Eventually.
This is Officer Ralph Kantor,
from the Redwood Penitentiary.
We have an emergency.
I repeat, prisoners
have escaped,
and we have an emergency.
Back.
Son of a bitch.
[music playing]
- Enzo listen.
That guard's got himself
locked in the engine room
and can't get in.
- Houston, we have a problem.
- Where's Joey?
I don't know.
[inaudible]
I gotta tell you
something, man.
This is all bad.
We gotta take
over the engine room
and have to go round
up all the passengers,
get them out of the way.
And we have to take care
of that asshole guard.
Come on.
Take it easy,
bruh, Enzo's the man.
Just think in one hour
we'll be free men.
I know this little
town in Mexico
off the Pacific,
Senoritas, bonitas, yaw.
We'll be all right, brother,
we're starting a new one.
[music playing]
It's an excellent
day for an exorcism.
Wouldn't you agree,
Father Karras?
I got somebody from the
rail station on line two.
His name's Anthony Tate.
SHERIFF WES BLAIDEK: Mr. Tate,
we have a situation here.
Situation?
I have a train
do into San Diego.
It's just been overtaken
by a group of convicts.
[laughter]
Very funny.
That you McKendree?
You know you should mix pot
and Quaaludes like that, dude.
This is no joke, son.
What?
You're serious.
Like a heart attack.
Now can you track the train?
Probably, technically.
Look, um, I'm just interning
here for the summer.
I've read all the
manuals though, twice.
This is a really boring job.
Not today.
I need you to track that train.
Uh yeah, OK.
I got it.
Location, speed,
anything you want.
All right, now you're going
to have to be our eyes and ears.
I want you to radio
the conductor,
alert him to the situation, and
tell him help is on the way.
I should taken that
job at the record store.
Matt, I want you to call
the federal marshals office.
Alert them of the situation.
it's going to take him
a while to get here,
so we better get this
show on the road.
All right.
OFFICER RALPH KANTOR: Are
there any weapons on board?
Look, all I do
is run this thing.
I don't know about any weapons.
How about an emergency kit.
I mean you got a
flare gun, right?
Uh, yeah, yeah there's
a flare gun in the supply
cabinet, first passenger car.

ENZO MARCELLI: Idiot.
You ever drive a train before?
No.
ENZO MARCELLI: Well

We got to try
and stop this thing
somewhere we can get to it.
Zoe?
Look we got another problem.
All the prisoners,
they've dressed like cops
and they moved the passengers
to the back of the train.
SHERIFF WES BLAIDEK: Zoe,
are you in a safe place?
Well one of them saw me but--
hold on.
[whistling]
Oh God.
OK, he's gone.
Zoe, you have to try
to stay out of sight now.
It's important we
stay in contact.
[music playing]
Got you, doll.
Zoe?
Are you all right?
Zoe?
Look.
Hey, lookie.
Look what I found hanging
out behind the bar,
chatting away with the police.
I thought you told me
you checked the bar.
I did.
Maybe she was hiding
behind a god damned olives.
Maybe.
So doll, so how
about a little R and R?
Knock it off, will ya?
Leave her alone.
Who died and left you boss?
[groaning]
[music playing]
God damn it.
ENZO MARCELLI: Hey.

What the hell are you doing?
I leave you alone
for 10 minutes,

of street punks.
What's going on?
VINCE: I caught the dame
hiding behind the bar.
She was talking to
cops on a cell phone.
That true?
OK, miss, I'll give you an
opportunity to redeem yourself.
[music playing]
[phone ringing]
Zoe?
Wes, it's Zo.
We're worried after
that line went dead.
Yeah somebody
was coming before.
I didn't want to find me.
Listen, I heard
one of the men say
they're going to be picked up by
helicopter at the Donner Pass.
Look, I got to go.
I'll try to call you later.
All right, and
you be careful, Zo.
Well done.
I think you just
saved your life.
Hey we're cooking now.
You want me to radio ahead
and have a SWAT team waiting
for them at Donner Pass?
No, not yet.
Take a look at that map.
Say we have our boys set up
an ambush at the Donner Pass.
Right.
If you were those convicts and
you knew the cops are waiting
for you at the Donner
Pass, where'd be the best
place to get off the train?
There, right after
Turner Junction.
The only way to Donner Pass
from there is by helicopter.
So if we're at
the Donner Pass,
and they get off
at Turner Junction,
we'd be pretty much
screwed, right?
Yeah.
All right.
So you go ahead
and radio our boys.
You tell them to have
the SWAT team set
up an ambush at Donner Pass.
Well where are we going?
We're going to
Turner Junction.
I'm gonna hedge all my bets.
We call the warden, and
have him meet us there.
Mobile one to dispatch.
[music playing]
[phone beeping]
Yeah.
ENZO MARCELLI:
Yeah, it's me, Enzo.
Listen, get a map.
Got one.
ENZO MARCELLI: OK,
listen carefully.
One mile from Target Junction, I
want you to start slowing down,
understand?
Can you do that?
I see it.
I can do it.
ENZO MARCELLI: Great.
Hey, Wes, I talked to state.
They're sending help, but
right now it's just us.
SHERIFF WES BLAIDEK: All right.
Wes Blaidek, Matt Baker.
[all greeting at once]
A little bit short on bodies,
so we're glad to have you here.
Now that train may
stop somewhere near
here, so grab yourself a rifle.
- Thanks for letting me join in.
- Right.
We're going the rest
of the way on foot.
MATT BAKER: All right.
[music playing]
[phone ringing]
Tate.
Anthony, this is Sheriff
Bladiek at Turner Junction.
I'm going to stay on the
phone with you for a while.
Now that train starts
to slow down, Anthony,
I want you to tell
me immediately.
Have a piece of paper
and pencil standing by.
What for?
Because if the train
starts to slow down,
I want you to be able
to estimate the location
of where it's going to stop.
OK.
But I've got to
tell you something.
I got a D in algebra.
Hello?
[music playing]
[inaudible]
OK, everybody.
Your attention please.
I have some disappointing news.
We're not United
States marshals.
We're escaped convicts.
[gasping]
Zoe.
No, it's gonna be OK, sweetie.
And we have complete
control of this train.
So everybody just,
uh, what you're told
and nobody gets hurt.
OK.
Now everybody up
and to the back.
Great.
My travel agent's going
to hear about this.
[music playing]
[cpu beeping]
Marshal, they're slowing
down at the rate of 10 miles
every 20 seconds.
Which means if we
let x be the mileage,
and we bring that over here.
Then divide.
No, multiply, multiply by half.
SHERIFF WES BLAIDEK: Anthony.
These little interruptions
are not helping me.
Yes.
Yes!
I got, I got, I got it!
Are you going to tell me?
Oh, yeah.
If the train continues at
this rate of deceleration,
it should come to
a complete halt
approximately 100 yards
past the intersection
with Lyncroft Road, probably.
- Probably
Well definitely.
Probably definitely.
Lyncroft Road.
Lyncroft Road. it's
about a half mile south.
All right, let's go.
[music playing]
C'mon.
Everybody's doing just fine.
Go on.
Let's go.
Let's go.
Vince, grab that guy
with the big mouth.
Hey, why me?
What about the broad?
You ask too many
stupid questions.
Move.
- Aw, c'mon.
VINCE: Shut up.
Let's go.
Luke, you take these two.
OK.
C'mon.
You're not going to let
them hurt h us are you?
Shut up, lady, unless
you wanna end up dead.
For your information
we put a bomb
on the front door of this car.
[inaudible]
[gasping]
[music playing]
Hey, right on time.
Everybody out, c'mon.
Move it.
Could be any surprises.
As soon as the chopper
lands I'll let you all go.
Let's go.
If there's any
problems, kill the kid.
that way they'll know
we're not screwing around.
Enzo, it'll be my pleasure.
[music playing]
All units stand by until the
suspects board that chopper.
Now there isn't enough
room for the hostages,
so when they clear I
want a single shooter
to take out the pilot and
force the chopper down.
Over.
[music playing]
OK.
That's far enough.
We're going to release the
hostages, except the woman.
You're going to Mexico.
But you said--
Shut up.
Vince, grab her.
- Come here mamacita.
[gun firing]
[yelling]
[music playing]
What're you doing?
[guns firing]
Throttle.
[music playing]
All right, now
listen up I want
you to put me on that train.
You hear me?
Put me on that train.
Sinclair.
[music playing]
Aren't you gonna let me go?
What'd I tell you
about stupid questions?
[gun firing]
DEPUTY MATT BAKER:
Wes said nobody shoots
until he gives the orders.
I had a clean shot. he
was right in my sights.
I had him clean.
That clean shot just cost
two cops their lives, not
to mention an innocent hostage.
How's that for your clean shot?
[music playing]
I can't control it.
I've lost the hydraulics.
You get it together
and get me on that train!
Now!
[music playing]
Now.
Put me down on that train now.
C'mon, put it down, now!
Let's get it going!
Get me close.
[music playing]
[loud banging]
- Vince, see who's on the roof.
- Got it.
Zip, find Sinclair.
Then what?
Kill him.
[helicopter exploding]
I'll be right back.
Where you going?
I gotta make sure they
didn't get back on this train.
Don't leave us here alone.
I'll be back in
five minutes, OK?
Promise?
Promise.
[music playing]
[gun firing]
You understand
what I'm saying?
But, Zoe, I just
want to go home.
Look, honey, I know you do.
So do I.
Are you scared?
Yeah, a little.
But I promise you, you're going
to see your mom real soon, OK?
[music playing]
[gasping]
Here's Johnny!
Leave us alone.
Are you talking to me?
Are you talking to me?
Are you talking to me?
Are you talking to me?
You must be.
I don't see anybody else here.
Nice going.
[music playing]
Hold it, home team.
Zim, listen to me.
Look, I ain't going
back to prison, man.
You stay on the train
and either the cop
or Enzo is going to kill you.
You stay with Enzo
and you're a dead man.
You help me, they
might parole you.
Come on, there's a little
girl in there, man.
Man, I thought I
was going to Mexico.
Come on, Zim.
Hey.
[inaudible]
[gun firing]
Hold it.
You climb on up here.
Slowly, I don't wanna
have to shoot you too.
I'm not one of them.
Yeah right.
C'mon.
[music playing]
Baker, this is Wes, do you copy?
DEPUTY MATT BAKER: Copy.
Matt, two convicts
are down already.
A third just jumped the train.
I want you to notify
the local police.
Have them send out a search
party for the jumper.
I'm heading for the engine.
[music playing]
Zoe?
Yeah.
I'm Wes.
Wes, I'm kissing you.
I'm glad to see you too.
You all right, honey?
Yeah.
All right, Matt.
DEPUTY MATT BAKER: Go for Baker.
Matt, I'm in
control of the engine.
The hostages are being
held in the prison car.
I don't think the convicts
know I'm on this train,
so what I'm gonna
try to do is I'm
going to try and
separate that prison
car from the rest of the train.
Copy?
Copy.
All right, what we
don't want to happen
is for them to retake
this engine, all right?
So I'm gonna give you this.
Now it's ready to fire.
Now if that guy comes back,
you just pointed it at him,
and you pull the trigger.
ZOE CLARK: OK.
And you keep pulling
until he stops.
All right?
Be right back now.
Hang on.
I'll be back in five minutes.
[music playing]
[dog barking]
[radio chatter]
[music playing]
Zoe, didn't the
prisoners plant a bomb?
Yeah, but won't they
be looking for us here?
No, no.
There are no scheduled stops
from there to San Diego.
[music playing]
So look.
[music playing]
Can't see it.
Look again.
Fuck, where's Wes?
Who the hell's Wes?
[bomb exploding]
Oh that's not good.
Oh boy.
Wes.
Wes, do you read me?
Of God, no.
[music playing]
So this must be Wes.
how you doin', Wes?
Well.
Welcome back.
Wes, this is Baker,
do you read me?
Wes, this is Matt.
Do you read?
Crap.
Now what?
Let's go grab our gear.
Let's go, c'mon.
[exclaiming at same time]
[music playing]
Damn it.
[phone ringing]
Tate.
Anthony, I need you
to reroute the train.
What?
Reroute the train?
What are you talking about?
What happened?
Never mind what happened.
We need to reroute the
train to an isolated area.
Can you do it?
Um.
Let me get back to you.
Reroute train.
Reroute train.
[music playing]
Well hello, sweetheart.
Ain't you glad to see me?
No, I ain't.
Yeah, c'mere kid.
[music playing]
Yes!
[phone ringing]
- Anthony
Baker, this train is
headed for San Diego, right?
DEPUTY MATT BAKER: Right
OK, then I need
to switch it twice.
The first switch will put it
on the line to Los Angeles.
Los Angeles?
Los Angeles,
what are you crazy?
Once it's on that line I can
be reroute it to Barsfield.
It's an abandoned station.
All right, Anthony,
you're the expert.
If I'm the expert,
we're screwed.
[cpu beeping]
OK, the train is now set
to switch on to the tracks
that head into Los Angeles.
You got to switch it
to the Barsfield Line
as soon as you can.
Duh.
[music playing]
Look what I found.
Oh, thank God.
One big happy family.
You want to stay that
way, do as you're told.
Be patient.
[music playing]
[car exploding]
[exclaiming]
What the Hell?
[cpu buzzing]
[music playing]
Oh crap!
DEPUTY MATT BAKER: Baker here.
Uh, bad news.
Something just happened.
The switching
mechanism was disabled.
- What does it mean?
- What does that mean?
On the whole
good/bad spectrum,
this is unusually bad.
That was the last place
to switch the train over.
Crap.
Ah damn.
How much longer till
it reaches the LA Line.
The train will hit Los Angeles
in approximately nine minutes.
Nine minutes.
Looks like I'll be working
at the record store after all.
[music playing]
We'll be back in five minutes.
Don't move or you'll be sorry.
[music playing]
C'mon, this way.
What now?
Now we put most of the
hostages in the front few cars.
Then we throttle this
thing right into San Diego.
About a mile before
we hit the station
we're going to uncouple
the last few cars.
We'll be in them.
Every cop in the country
will be looking for us,
but we won't be there.
[music playing]
Mirror, mirror on the wall.
[music playing]
I knew you'd come back.
Glad you did.
Come on, let's go.
I need your help.
We need to separate this
car from the engine.
The only place to do that
is between the first passenger
car and the bar car.
Alex--
Just don't tell me you'll
be back in five minutes.
I'll be back in a bit.
Come on.
Trust me, you'll
all be safer here.
Why don't I believe you?
Just hurry.
That train is going to
make Swiss cheese out
of that station in
about five minutes.
Yeah, right.
Phone lines at out
at Union Station.
LAPD's on the way.
I don't think they're
going to make it.
You better step on it.
[music playing]
Well I'm not going to be
here when this thing hits.
[music playing]
Wait here.
[grunting]
Sinclair?
Sinclair.
Sinclair?
[gun firing]
What the hell
are you doing here?
I'm still on the clock.
You know the kneecap
is the most painful place
in the human body to be shot.
No problem.
[music playing]
Well you know I'm here.
Not too smart, Sinclair.
Without hostages you
put us all on death row.
Shoot me.
I'm unarmed, you got a
clear shot if you want it.
Or you could let me help
you stop this thing.
It's our only chance.
You think after
all the trouble
you've been causing me that
I'm gonna let you live?
You should've just let me
stay behind like I wanted to.
Would've been a whole
lot easier on both of us.
Shut up.
You're not smart as
I thought, Sinclair.
Do me a favor.
Kill this son of a bitch.
Love to.
[music playing]
[gun firing]
Kill him, Enzo.
[music playing]
Don't!
[train crashing]
[grunting]
[radio chatter]
C'mon, let's get outta here.
[music playing]
Holy cow.
Check the train.
I'll check the station.
We need to get a
unit to follow line.
We're missin' half
the train here.
[music playing]
Let me go, you're free.
Shut up and keep moving.
TRAIN ANNOUNCER: South 15
to the San Diego and Mexico
will be leaving from tracks
three and four in 15 minutes.
[music playing]
Freeze, Enzo.
This has gone too far.
When did you sprout morality?
You said everything
was going to be fine.
You said no one was
going to get hurt.
No one was going to get killed.
You said nothing would go wrong.
TRAIN ANNOUNCER: All
aboard track four
to San Diego and Tijuana.
You here that.
We're going to be on
that train, and you're
going to look the other way.
No, it's too late.
Let the girl go!
You're going to
look the other way.
Not this time.
Let the girl go!
You haven't got the guts.
Maybe.
And maybe not.
You want her?
You can have her.
[gun firing]
[music playing]
[grunting]
Man, you never learn.
[grunting]
Don't do it, man.
Stop!
LUKE SINCLAIR: Give me the gun!
No!
You'll be no better than him.
[music playing]
[train horn sounding]
Police, freeze!
[music playing]
Mr. Sinclair, do feel
remorse for the crime
that you committed?
The only remorse I have
is not being able to be
there to protect my family.
You know for the past eight
years, every six months you've
given me that same
answer knowing
full well that when you said
it your parole would be denied.
Why?
It's the truth.
Well in light of what
has happened recently
and with recommendation
of the governor,
I'm going to give you
that parole anyway.
[music playing]
And I hope you have some
peace, Mr. Sinclair.
[music playing]
Thought I was gonna
have to take a bus.
[chuckling]
It seemed like
the least I can do.
Besides, I need to
ask you a question.
Luke, you were off the train.
Why'd you come back for us?
I, uh, I let some
people down once.
I didn't want that
to happen again.
So where you gonna go?
I don't know.
But I'm not takin' the train.
[laughter]
Then hop in.
[music playing]
[music playing]
[music playing]
(SINGING) Been so
long since I had you--
had you near me.
All night long.
Think about you.
Wish you could hear me.
I don't know where
it went wrong.
He shot.
I shot.
It was over before too long.
Been three years since I've seen
the light of your sweet face.
Switching gears ain't been easy.
My life's out of pace.
I don't know who was to blame.
These walls surround me, and
I know I can't [inaudible]..
No excuses.
No excuses when
you play with love.
No excuses.
Ain't no use in
blaming you, my love.
You did what you could.
Did what you thought you should.
[whistling]
MCHENRY: Hey, [inaudible].
Oh, hey, McHenry.
How's the hand?
Eh, kind hurts.
Any problems?
- Piece of cake.
Great.
See you tomorrow.
[music playing]
MAN: No!
Will the defendant
please rise.
I am truly ashamed of what
I have to do here today.
Nevertheless, due to
the recent developments,
the accidental contamination
of DNA and blood evidence,
I am left with no alternative.
Cases dismissed.
Defendant is free to go.
[gavel pounding]
[music playing]
[blowing kiss]
[music playing]
- Hey!
- No!
No, no, no!
[gun firing]
[screaming]
[music playing]
[music playing]
[door slamming]
[music playing]
Mr. Sinclair, would
you be seated please?
Well, it looks like you've
had an uneventful six months.
Do you feel like
you're fit enough
to be released in society?
Yes, sir, I do.
Do you understand the
seriousness of the crime
that you committed?
I know I killed a man.
Do you feel that you've
been rehabilitated?
Well, sir, I never felt
I needed rehabilitation.
He didn't deserve to live.
Look, Mr. Sinclair, I'm
getting tired of going
over this every six months.
Now why don't you just sign
this affidavit admitting
that you were wrong, and
that you're a changed man,
and then your chances of parole
will be increased dramatically.
Sir, with all due respect,
my integrity is the only thing
I have left in this world.
And I resent you trying
to take that from me also.
Very well.
[music playing]
Soup's on.
Hey Kelly, come
and get your tray.
Well, I guess I'll
take your cake then.
[music playing]
[muffled prisoners taunting]
Yo, Luke, no go?
No go.
I'm sorry to hear that, man.
I really thought you
had it this time.
Shit, if they ain't
gonna let you out,
I'm going to be
here till I'm 200.
Nah, you got to play the game.
Just tell them what
they want to hear,
you'll be outta here in no time.
Look, I hope you don't
take this the wrong way,
but every time you come back,
I can't help but to smile.
You falling in love, Zim?
I know a few boys in the yard
will be very disappointed.
Man, shut the hell up, please.
Black man try to show his
emotions and what does he get?
Lip, and nothing more.
If it makes you
feel any better
I'm glad you my neighbor
instead of somebody like Hector.
Oh yeah, that makes me
feel a whole lot better.
Hector.
Jesus Christ.
[laughter]
Sit down, Hector.
Sign this.
And you get to go
to brand new home.
Isn't that nice?
Frankly, my dear,
I don't give a damn.
[music playing]
Sign it, Hector.
There's no place like home.
There's no place like home.
I can't say I'm
sorry to see you go.
[inmates calling out]
Hey man.
- What's happening?
- All right.
OK.
Give me some smokes, Charlie.
INMATE: Hey Carpone.
End of the lines back here.
There are no cuts.
Excuse me.
You heard what I said.
I don't give a damn who
you are now outside.
In here you're
nothing what a crook.
Put a ring on your pinky.
Gets your ass at
the end of the line.
I'll tell you what, this
is a democracy more or less.
Let's put it to a vote.
Any you gentlemen object to my
cutting in front of the line?
[group all saying no]
See.
That settles it.
You know what
democracy is don't you?
They did teach you that at,
uh, Harvard didn't they?
[laughter]
[inmates taunting]
Thank you.
[music playing]
Look out!
[crowd cheering]
Peel that crook's
head like an onion.
No.
[music playing]
How many years you doing, kid?
14, 15, or
something like that.
How many have you done.
12.
12.
What's the matter with you?
You should have been outta
here three years ago.
You're not using your brains.
I guess I'm not that smart.
Sure you are.
You're just cursed with
too much character.
I like that.
What you have to do is
learn how to combine
character and brains.
Terry give me a book
of matches, will you?
And tell the warden I
want to talk to him.
Thanks.
You see?
Life is all about compromises.
But only smart guys
like you and me know
how to take advantage of that.
I'll remember that the next
time I need a pack of matches.
Listen to what
I'm telling you kid.
You compromise your
safety to protect me
and I'm in debt to for that.
And in here an Enzo Marcelli
debt is no small thing.
[music playing]
Will the defendant
please rise.
I am truly ashamed of
what I have to do today.
I am left with no alternative.
Nevertheless, due to
the recent developments,
the accidental contamination
of DNA and blood evidence.
Hey!
[gun firing]
I understand the rage
in your heart, Sir,
at the man accused of killing
your wife and daughter
but the law is there for
a reason, and justice
cannot prevail if we ignore it.
For your act of bold,
remorseless vengeance.
I sentence you to 15
years in state prison.
[music playing]
Oh, here's a whole
lot of trouble.
WARDEN JACK KRAMER: C'mon in.
Sit down.
Thanks for seeing me.
What can I do for you?
It's about that transfer.
What about it?
I don't want it,
seeing as how I've served
of most of my sentence here.
What makes you think
your opinion counts?
After 12 years you get
used to a place, you know.
The routine.
How to keep your nose clean.
Like yesterday?
The word is Redwood is some
sort of high tech facility,
exclusively for murderers.
Well the last time I checked,
you still were a murder.
Warden, there's a
difference between me--
Look Sinclair, you're
being transferred to Redwood.
It's already been decided by--
well, let's just
say a higher power.
Besides, I've got a good feeling
everything will work out OK.
Just don't rock the boat and
everything will be just fine.
[music playing]
[buzzer buzzing]
[music playing]
Come on.
Alex, please let me
help you with that.
Please, Mommy.
I'm perfectly capable.
[grunting]
So listen.
Mom's going to meet you
at the train station,
and I want you to call me
as soon as you get there.
So let me give you some
money in case you want
some lunch or something, OK?
There you go.
$5.00, I don't see
any golden arches.
Here's five more.
Thanks sis.
You're welcome.
Hey, would you like to
help you with that, sweetie.
Hey, watch the Italians.
I have an IQ of 143 and
a green belt in taekwondo.
I think I'm perfectly capable
of lugging this suitcase.
Don't you?
Hey, you got yourself
little wisenheimer over here.
She belong to you?
She's my sister.
Lucky you.
Ha.
Be nice, OK?
Bye.
Hello.
Hi.
Oh, I'm feeling in for Andy.
Oh yeah?
Yeah, yeah, I'm
usually on the 1700 line.
Joe Manetti.
Well, it's nice to
meet you, Zoe Clark.
Would you stash my
stuff for a second?
Right back here?
Yeah, my collection
of toy trains.
Got everything in.
Got a passenger car, dining
car, little red caboose.
You know, choo-choo.
[laughter]
Thanks, I didn't know
what you meant until you
did the old choo-choo thing.
- Want me to do it again?
No, that's OK.
Thanks.
Uh huh.
Choo-choo.
Hey, Warden.
Jack Kramer.
Ralph Kantor.
How are you, Ralph.
All right, let's get
this show on the road.
Who's who?
That's Tommy Zimmer,
first degree murder.
Killed his wife and the girl
she was screwing around with.
He's doing life.
Luke Sinclair.
His wife and
daughter were killed.
So what does he do?
He pops the guy who did it
right on the courthouse steps.
Can't say I wouldn't
have done the same thing.
He's a pretty
straight shooter.
I doubt he'll give
you any trouble.
That's Hector, The
Director, Miller,
murdered 11 people
about six years ago.
Always reenacts a scene
from a horror film.
Mostly talks in movie quotes.
Yeah, I heard some story about
when this guy was in county
waiting to get transferred.
Yeah, pretended to
have a heart attack.
Yeah.
When the nurse
came, ole Hector--
I heard he bit her
tongue off, right?
Yeah.
that's Ian Kelly, convicted
arsonist an explosives expert.
He fashioned a
bomb out of a roll
of tinfoil and drain cleaner.
Killed 14 people at
a rent-a-car agency.
Said he wasn't satisfied
with the service.
Apparently not.
Yeah, this one I know.
Lorenzo Marcelli
head of the biggest
crime family on the West Coast.
What's he serving?
300 years?
He's only got 292 left.
I tell you Jack,
I'd feel a helluva
lot better if we were flying.
Well ever since that
plane load of prisoners
went down in Vegas,
the FAA doesn't wanna
have anything to do with us.
Besides, that's the
state of New York car.
I doubt if the passengers will
ever even know you're there.
[music playing]
You're in my seat.
What?
We're going to
need a bigger boat.
Get out of my seat.
What?
Are you some kind of moron?
[music playing]
Get him up.
Been told you're
not a troublemaker,
so I'll give you the benefit
of the doubt on this one.
As for the rest of
ya, I don't want
to hear a peep
unless you're dying
or your teeth are floating.
Looks like teacher has a pet.
Excuse me, do you think I
can have something to drink?
Well I'm not really
supposed to be serving yet,
but I think I'll make an
exception in your case.
A beer will be fine.
Domestic or imported?
Domestic please.
Here you go.
Root beer, my favorite kind.
[laughter]
- I'm Zoe.
What's your name?
Alex Kittner and I'm
traveling all by myself.
Wow, well where's your seat.
I'll come by later, we
can play some cards.
I only play for money.
Well me too.
I paid for my entire college
education playing Go Fish.
Hey, sweetie,
scotch and water.
I'm sorry, sir.
I can't start serving till
the train starts moving.
Kid's got a drink.
She asked nicely.
Gee, I'm sorry.
Pretty please can I
have a scotch rocks,
miss train bartender lady.
We're leaving soon, sir.
I guess I'll wait.
Can I see your
ticket there, sir.
It must be back at my seat.
Can I give it to you later?
Sure, how about
yours, little lady.
You ticket please.
[low whistle]
Pow.
[train whistle blowing]
[music playing]
Thanks, doll.
That man had a gun.
A gun?
Wow, what kind do
you think it was?
Maybe a laser gun?
Or spear gun?
Hmm, glue gun maybe?
Zoe, I'm serious.
Well maybe he's a policeman.
I can check it out.
Why don't you go
back to your seat,
and I'll see you in
a little while, OK?
Vitamin C.
[music playing]
[train horn blowing]
Excuse me.
Excuse me.
I have to go to the bathroom.
Already.
Well we've been the
train quite a while.
It's, uh, jiggly, you know?
Take him back.
Hey, can I get a cup
of coffee, extra hot?
Yeah, sure.
Joe, you remember that little
girl that was here earlier.
Yeah.
She thinks she one of
the passengers with a gun.
Now it was that guy who
didn't have his ticket.
He's a cop.
I was talking to him
just a second ago.
Hey, can I get my bag.
Yeah, that's great.
I just get worried, you know.
Choo-choo.
Please.
Nice try.
Well how do you suggest
I use the toilet paper.
Improvise.
[music playing]
Oh, excuse me, hot coffee.
[music playing]
[gasping]
Got ya.
Thought you were that
greasy head with the gun.
Well you must watch
too many gangster movies.
He's really a policeman.
He didn't look like
a policeman to me.
Go Fish?
Buck a hand.
Marcelli, what
are you doing there?
Giving birth?
I'll be right out.
[music playing]
Sir, this is a
restricted area.
Somebody told me to, uh,
bring you a cup of coffee.
It's, uh, hazelnut.
I didn't order any coffee.
Well, since you're buying.
[gasping]
[music playing]
[suppressed gun firing]
All right, Marcelli, let's go.
All right, Enzo, pick up your
panties because I'm coming in.
[grunting]
Get down.
I love the smell of
napalm in the morning.
Open the gate.
Smells like victory.
[gasping]
[guns firing]
INMATE: Go, go.
[guns firing]
Attica.
Attica.

[music playing]
About time you got here.
I wouldn't miss this party.
The inner door's locked.
Calm down.
Get a key off one
of these guards.
And get rid of that gun.
Fitz, you go over the top.
Joe, work your way
through the train.
I don't believe it, it worked.
No celebrating until we
get off the goddamn train.
Enzo.
Thanks, but I'm OK.
Hey, I went through
a lot of trouble
to get you on this train.
You ain't spurning my
friendship are you?
Know, Enzo.
It's just--
Good, because you're
either with us or against us.
See this guy?
He was against us.
Don't worry, kid, we
won't hold it against you.
What about dude?
Go ahead, make my day.
We'll leave him locked up.
Time to get dressed.
[music playing]
Is there a phone of some
sort or radio in here?
I'm sorry, sir, you're
not allowed behind the bar.
Just answer the question.
Right, there's a
radio in the locomotive.
OK, you're really gonna
need to find a phone
in case i don't make it.
OK, see you're
starting to scare me--
- Listen to me.
- Just a little bit.
There's six convicts from
Santa Ana Prison back there.
They just killed
four of my deputies
and now they're after me.
I need you to call the police.
You're kidding me, right?
Just do it.
Where are you going?
I'm going to take control
of this train before they do.
[music playing]
[door opening and closing]
[music playing]
In less than an hour
we'll be off this train
into a nice, little helicopter.
By the time the train
gets to San Diego
and they start looking for
us, we'll be long gone.
It's absolutely important that
they don't suspect anything.
Capiche?
All right, let's get
rid of the bodies.
[music playing]
[phone ringing]
DISPATCH OFFICER:
Sheriff's office.
Yes, hi, please,
please listen to me.
There, there are
dangerous prisoners loose.
Do you get that part?
DISPATCH OFFICER: Please hold.
Now please don't
put me on hold.
A hell of a thing
killing a man.
Take away all he's got and
all he's ever going to have.
C'mon.
C'mon.
[music playing]
[phone ringing]
Sheriff's office.
Excuse me?
Hold on.
No, you can't put
me on hold again.
Apparently he can.
Shit.
Wes, we've got emergency
phone call from somewhere
outside of Brownsville county.
Something about a
hostage situation?
They're on line two.
This is Sheriff Blaidek.
- Oh good.
Thank you.
Please just listen
to what I'm saying.
My name is Zoe Clark.
I'm a bartender on the West
Rail San Diego train line.
There are prisoners
loose on board.
Hold on, Zo, just slow down.
OK, see, now that you're not
listening to what I'm saying.
My name is Zoe, not Zo.
And I can't really
slow down right now.
Excuse me, lady.
Jesus.
[music playing]
[yelling]
[music playing]
[interposing voices]
[music playing]
Hey.
PASSENGER: What?
Shut up.
PASSENGER: Jerk.
[phone ringing]
Warden Kramer.
Warden, this is Deputy Sheriff
Matt Baker of the Independence
County Sheriff's Department.
Sir, we have an emergency here.
Your prisoners have
over taken the train
and are holding hostages.
Shit.
[music playing]
Now you're doing
just great, Zoe.
now I know it's
going to be tough,
but you have to try
and act naturally.
Hold on a minute.
- All right.
SHERIFF WES BLAIDEK:
What've you got.
I got Warden Kramer,
Lancaster State Penitentiary.
He's on line three.
Now, Zoe, I just want
you to act normal, and then
call me back in 15 minutes, OK?
This is Blaidek.
[music playing]
Who the hell are you?
- Look, it's all right.
- You can't be in here.
Get out.
Look, I'm with the
prison transport.
The prisoners have
escaped and they're armed.
Now just drive
the goddamn train.
[music playing]
Those men have been
in my custody for years.
I know them better
than anybody else.
All right Warden,
I'm going to send
someone to bring it down here.
But before you go, fax
us whatever you have.
Photos, profiles,
anything that might help.
[sighing]
God damn it.
Notify the state police.
And I want to move
this to the mobile unit
so we can follow that train.
Now give me a direct line
to Zoe and a direct line
to the rail company.
OFFICER: All right.
OFFICER RALPH KANTOR:
Where's your radio?
All I got is just one way
to the railway control center.
They got a guy on
watch 24 hours.
That'll have to do.
Hello, this is
Officer Ralph Kantor,
and we have an emergency.
Hello, is anybody there?
look, you sure this
thing's working?
I just use about an hour ago.
You just got to keep on trying.
It always works, eventually.
Eventually.
This is Officer Ralph Kantor,
from the Redwood Penitentiary.
We have an emergency.
I repeat, prisoners
have escaped,
and we have an emergency.
Back.
Son of a bitch.
[music playing]
- Enzo listen.
That guard's got himself
locked in the engine room
and can't get in.
- Houston, we have a problem.
- Where's Joey?
I don't know.
[inaudible]
I gotta tell you
something, man.
This is all bad.
We gotta take
over the engine room
and have to go round
up all the passengers,
get them out of the way.
And we have to take care
of that asshole guard.
Come on.
Take it easy,
bruh, Enzo's the man.
Just think in one hour
we'll be free men.
I know this little
town in Mexico
off the Pacific,
Senoritas, bonitas, yaw.
We'll be all right, brother,
we're starting a new one.
[music playing]
It's an excellent
day for an exorcism.
Wouldn't you agree,
Father Karras?
I got somebody from the
rail station on line two.
His name's Anthony Tate.
SHERIFF WES BLAIDEK: Mr. Tate,
we have a situation here.
Situation?
I have a train
do into San Diego.
It's just been overtaken
by a group of convicts.
[laughter]
Very funny.
That you McKendree?
You know you should mix pot
and Quaaludes like that, dude.
This is no joke, son.
What?
You're serious.
Like a heart attack.
Now can you track the train?
Probably, technically.
Look, um, I'm just interning
here for the summer.
I've read all the
manuals though, twice.
This is a really boring job.
Not today.
I need you to track that train.
Uh yeah, OK.
I got it.
Location, speed,
anything you want.
All right, now you're going
to have to be our eyes and ears.
I want you to radio
the conductor,
alert him to the situation, and
tell him help is on the way.
I should taken that
job at the record store.
Matt, I want you to call
the federal marshals office.
Alert them of the situation.
it's going to take him
a while to get here,
so we better get this
show on the road.
All right.
OFFICER RALPH KANTOR: Are
there any weapons on board?
Look, all I do
is run this thing.
I don't know about any weapons.
How about an emergency kit.
I mean you got a
flare gun, right?
Uh, yeah, yeah there's
a flare gun in the supply
cabinet, first passenger car.
- First passenger car
Ladies and gentlemen, can
I have your attention please.
This is the United States
Marshal Jacobs, J Jacobs.
There has been a
minor emergency,
and we're going
to have to ask you
move to the back of the train.
There are other marshals
moving among you.
Don't be alarmed. it's
just a precaution.
These men will escort you
to the back of the train
where you will be given
further information.
Please move quickly.
this is for your own safety.
All right ladies
and gentlemen,

Would you please get up and
move to the rear of this car.
All right, thank you very much.
Apologize for the inconvenience.
Come this way please.
C'mon everybody.
We gotta make room.
Come on, sweetheart.
TOMMY ZIMMER: All right, act
like we you somewhere to go.
It's all right.
You keep trying
the rail station, OK?
And do not open this door
for anyone except me.
Nobody!
(SINGING) I've been
working on the railroad
all the live long day.
I've been working
on the railroad
just to pass the time of day.
[music playing]
Right.
What a mess this is.
OK, folks, sorry
for the interruption.
I'd like everybody to step
back on the train, please.
Right now, thanks very much.
Thank you, ma'am.
Thank you, sir.
OK let's move it along.
Let's step lively.
Thanks very much, sir.
Has Anthony reached
the conductor yet?
No, sir.
He's been trying but
nobody's answering.
Well we'll just have to
assume that they have control
of the whole damn train.
The only thing we got going
for us right now is Zoe.
That's a very
nice blouse, ma'am.
VINCE: All right, just
move it on through.
All right, sweetheart.
Thank you very much.
Watch your step going out there.
OK, watch your step there now.
You'll have to
move to the rear now.
Please, thank you.
Please move to the rear.
Sorry to inconvenience you.
[interposing voices]
Move to the rear please.
Thank you.
Hey, excuse me, uh, Marshal.
I don't know about the
rest of these yutzs,
but I'd like to know
what's going on.
I tell you what, if you move out
with the rest of these people.
I'll have someone to serve
you a complimentary drink.
Free Drink?
How many?
As many as you want.
Hey, now you're
talking English.
ENZO MARCELLI: All right, folks.
You gotta know how
to handle these guys.
C'mon.
[music playing]
Everything clear?
Yeah.
Check behind the bar?
Everything cool?
Yeah, it's clear.
Did you check the bathrooms?
Yes.
Good I'm going to front.
You go to the dining car and
check for the stragglers.
You got it?
[music playing]
[music playing]
Freeze!
Put the bag down and get
your hands in the air.
Drop it.
[explosion booming]
Aw shit.
I meant to kill the
guard but not this guy.
Marshal Jay Jacobs,
pick up the intercom.
Hey, Enzo.
Look, I blew that door.
It came right off.
Unfortunately, so that
part of the engineers head.
The good news is the
explosion killed that guard.
ENZO MARCELLI: Idiot.
You ever drive a train before?
No.
ENZO MARCELLI: Well
for your sake i
hope you're a fast learner.
We got to try
and stop this thing
somewhere we can get to it.
Zoe?
Look we got another problem.
All the prisoners,
they've dressed like cops
and they moved the passengers
to the back of the train.
SHERIFF WES BLAIDEK: Zoe,
are you in a safe place?
Well one of them saw me but--
hold on.
[whistling]
Oh God.
OK, he's gone.
Zoe, you have to try
to stay out of sight now.
It's important we
stay in contact.
[music playing]
Got you, doll.
Zoe?
Are you all right?
Zoe?
Look.
Hey, lookie.
Look what I found hanging
out behind the bar,
chatting away with the police.
I thought you told me
you checked the bar.
I did.
Maybe she was hiding
behind a god damned olives.
Maybe.
So doll, so how
about a little R and R?
Knock it off, will ya?
Leave her alone.
Who died and left you boss?
[groaning]
[music playing]
God damn it.
ENZO MARCELLI: Hey.
- What?
What the hell are you doing?
I leave you alone
for 10 minutes,
you act like a couple
of street punks.
What's going on?
VINCE: I caught the dame
hiding behind the bar.
She was talking to
cops on a cell phone.
That true?
OK, miss, I'll give you an
opportunity to redeem yourself.
[music playing]
[phone ringing]
Zoe?
Wes, it's Zo.
We're worried after
that line went dead.
Yeah somebody
was coming before.
I didn't want to find me.
Listen, I heard
one of the men say
they're going to be picked up by
helicopter at the Donner Pass.
Look, I got to go.
I'll try to call you later.
All right, and
you be careful, Zo.
Well done.
I think you just
saved your life.
Hey we're cooking now.
You want me to radio ahead
and have a SWAT team waiting
for them at Donner Pass?
No, not yet.
Take a look at that map.
Say we have our boys set up
an ambush at the Donner Pass.
Right.
If you were those convicts and
you knew the cops are waiting
for you at the Donner
Pass, where'd be the best
place to get off the train?
There, right after
Turner Junction.
The only way to Donner Pass
from there is by helicopter.
So if we're at
the Donner Pass,
and they get off
at Turner Junction,
we'd be pretty much
screwed, right?
Yeah.
All right.
So you go ahead
and radio our boys.
You tell them to have
the SWAT team set
up an ambush at Donner Pass.
Well where are we going?
We're going to
Turner Junction.
I'm gonna hedge all my bets.
We call the warden, and
have him meet us there.
Mobile one to dispatch.
[music playing]
[phone beeping]
Yeah.
ENZO MARCELLI:
Yeah, it's me, Enzo.
Listen, get a map.
Got one.
ENZO MARCELLI: OK,
listen carefully.
One mile from Target Junction, I
want you to start slowing down,
understand?
Can you do that?
I see it.
I can do it.
ENZO MARCELLI: Great.
Hey, Wes, I talked to state.
They're sending help, but
right now it's just us.
SHERIFF WES BLAIDEK: All right.
Wes Blaidek, Matt Baker.
[all greeting at once]
A little bit short on bodies,
so we're glad to have you here.
Now that train may
stop somewhere near
here, so grab yourself a rifle.
- Thanks for letting me join in.
- Right.
We're going the rest
of the way on foot.
MATT BAKER: All right.
[music playing]
[phone ringing]
Tate.
Anthony, this is Sheriff
Bladiek at Turner Junction.
I'm going to stay on the
phone with you for a while.
Now that train starts
to slow down, Anthony,
I want you to tell
me immediately.
Have a piece of paper
and pencil standing by.
What for?
Because if the train
starts to slow down,
I want you to be able
to estimate the location
of where it's going to stop.
OK.
But I've got to
tell you something.
I got a D in algebra.
Hello?
[music playing]
[inaudible]
OK, everybody.
Your attention please.
I have some disappointing news.
We're not United
States marshals.
We're escaped convicts.
[gasping]
Zoe.
No, it's gonna be OK, sweetie.
And we have complete
control of this train.
So everybody just,
uh, what you're told
and nobody gets hurt.
OK.
Now everybody up
and to the back.
Great.
My travel agent's going
to hear about this.
[music playing]
[cpu beeping]
Marshal, they're slowing
down at the rate of 10 miles
every 20 seconds.
Which means if we
let x be the mileage,
and we bring that over here.
Then divide.
No, multiply, multiply by half.
SHERIFF WES BLAIDEK: Anthony.
These little interruptions
are not helping me.
Yes.
Yes!
I got, I got, I got it!
Are you going to tell me?
Oh, yeah.
If the train continues at
this rate of deceleration,
it should come to
a complete halt
approximately 100 yards
past the intersection
with Lyncroft Road, probably.
- Probably
Well definitely.
Probably definitely.
Lyncroft Road.
Lyncroft Road. it's
about a half mile south.
All right, let's go.
[music playing]
C'mon.
Everybody's doing just fine.
Go on.
Let's go.
Let's go.
Vince, grab that guy
with the big mouth.
Hey, why me?
What about the broad?
You ask too many
stupid questions.
Move.
- Aw, c'mon.
VINCE: Shut up.
Let's go.
Luke, you take these two.
OK.
C'mon.
You're not going to let
them hurt h us are you?
Shut up, lady, unless
you wanna end up dead.
For your information
we put a bomb
on the front door of this car.
[inaudible]
[gasping]
[music playing]
Hey, right on time.
Everybody out, c'mon.
Move it.
Could be any surprises.
As soon as the chopper
lands I'll let you all go.
Let's go.
If there's any
problems, kill the kid.
that way they'll know
we're not screwing around.
Enzo, it'll be my pleasure.
[music playing]
All units stand by until the
suspects board that chopper.
Now there isn't enough
room for the hostages,
so when they clear I
want a single shooter
to take out the pilot and
force the chopper down.
Over.
[music playing]
OK.
That's far enough.
We're going to release the
hostages, except the woman.
You're going to Mexico.
But you said--
Shut up.
Vince, grab her.
- Come here mamacita.
[gun firing]
[yelling]
[music playing]
What're you doing?
[guns firing]
Throttle.
[music playing]
All right, now
listen up I want
you to put me on that train.
You hear me?
Put me on that train.
Sinclair.
[music playing]
Aren't you gonna let me go?
What'd I tell you
about stupid questions?
[gun firing]
DEPUTY MATT BAKER:
Wes said nobody shoots
until he gives the orders.
I had a clean shot. he
was right in my sights.
I had him clean.
That clean shot just cost
two cops their lives, not
to mention an innocent hostage.
How's that for your clean shot?
[music playing]
I can't control it.
I've lost the hydraulics.
You get it together
and get me on that train!
Now!
[music playing]
Now.
Put me down on that train now.
C'mon, put it down, now!
Let's get it going!
Get me close.
[music playing]
[loud banging]
- Vince, see who's on the roof.
- Got it.
Zip, find Sinclair.
Then what?
Kill him.
[helicopter exploding]
I'll be right back.
Where you going?
I gotta make sure they
didn't get back on this train.
Don't leave us here alone.
I'll be back in
five minutes, OK?
Promise?
Promise.
[music playing]
[gun firing]
You understand
what I'm saying?
But, Zoe, I just
want to go home.
Look, honey, I know you do.
So do I.
Are you scared?
Yeah, a little.
But I promise you, you're going
to see your mom real soon, OK?
[music playing]
[gasping]
Here's Johnny!
Leave us alone.
Are you talking to me?
Are you talking to me?
Are you talking to me?
Are you talking to me?
You must be.
I don't see anybody else here.
Nice going.
[music playing]
Hold it, home team.
Zim, listen to me.
Look, I ain't going
back to prison, man.
You stay on the train
and either the cop
or Enzo is going to kill you.
You stay with Enzo
and you're a dead man.
You help me, they
might parole you.
Come on, there's a little
girl in there, man.
Man, I thought I
was going to Mexico.
Come on, Zim.
Hey.
[inaudible]
[gun firing]
Hold it.
You climb on up here.
Slowly, I don't wanna
have to shoot you too.
I'm not one of them.
Yeah right.
C'mon.
[music playing]
Baker, this is Wes, do you copy?
DEPUTY MATT BAKER: Copy.
Matt, two convicts
are down already.
A third just jumped the train.
I want you to notify
the local police.
Have them send out a search
party for the jumper.
I'm heading for the engine.
[music playing]
Zoe?
Yeah.
I'm Wes.
Wes, I'm kissing you.
I'm glad to see you too.
You all right, honey?
Yeah.
All right, Matt.
DEPUTY MATT BAKER: Go for Baker.
Matt, I'm in
control of the engine.
The hostages are being
held in the prison car.
I don't think the convicts
know I'm on this train,
so what I'm gonna
try to do is I'm
going to try and
separate that prison
car from the rest of the train.
Copy?
Copy.
All right, what we
don't want to happen
is for them to retake
this engine, all right?
So I'm gonna give you this.
Now it's ready to fire.
Now if that guy comes back,
you just pointed it at him,
and you pull the trigger.
ZOE CLARK: OK.
And you keep pulling
until he stops.
All right?
Be right back now.
Hang on.
I'll be back in five minutes.
[music playing]
[dog barking]
[radio chatter]
[music playing]
Zoe, didn't the
prisoners plant a bomb?
Yeah, but won't they
be looking for us here?
No, no.
There are no scheduled stops
from there to San Diego.
[music playing]
So look.
[music playing]
Can't see it.
Look again.
Fuck, where's Wes?
Who the hell's Wes?
[bomb exploding]
Oh that's not good.
Oh boy.
Wes.
Wes, do you read me?
Of God, no.
[music playing]
So this must be Wes.
how you doin', Wes?
Well.
Welcome back.
Wes, this is Baker,
do you read me?
Wes, this is Matt.
Do you read?
Crap.
Now what?
Let's go grab our gear.
Let's go, c'mon.
[exclaiming at same time]
[music playing]
Damn it.
[phone ringing]
Tate.
Anthony, I need you
to reroute the train.
What?
Reroute the train?
What are you talking about?
What happened?
Never mind what happened.
We need to reroute the
train to an isolated area.
Can you do it?
Um.
Let me get back to you.
Reroute train.
Reroute train.
[music playing]
Well hello, sweetheart.
Ain't you glad to see me?
No, I ain't.
Yeah, c'mere kid.
[music playing]
Yes!
[phone ringing]
- Anthony
Baker, this train is
headed for San Diego, right?
DEPUTY MATT BAKER: Right
OK, then I need
to switch it twice.
The first switch will put it
on the line to Los Angeles.
Los Angeles?
Los Angeles,
what are you crazy?
Once it's on that line I can
be reroute it to Barsfield.
It's an abandoned station.
All right, Anthony,
you're the expert.
If I'm the expert,
we're screwed.
[cpu beeping]
OK, the train is now set
to switch on to the tracks
that head into Los Angeles.
You got to switch it
to the Barsfield Line
as soon as you can.
Duh.
[music playing]
Look what I found.
Oh, thank God.
One big happy family.
You want to stay that
way, do as you're told.
Be patient.
[music playing]
[car exploding]
[exclaiming]
What the Hell?
[cpu buzzing]
[music playing]
Oh crap!
DEPUTY MATT BAKER: Baker here.
Uh, bad news.
Something just happened.
The switching
mechanism was disabled.
- What does it mean?
- What does that mean?
On the whole
good/bad spectrum,
this is unusually bad.
That was the last place
to switch the train over.
Crap.
Ah damn.
How much longer till
it reaches the LA Line.
The train will hit Los Angeles
in approximately nine minutes.
Nine minutes.
Looks like I'll be working
at the record store after all.
[music playing]
We'll be back in five minutes.
Don't move or you'll be sorry.
[music playing]
C'mon, this way.
What now?
Now we put most of the
hostages in the front few cars.
Then we throttle this
thing right into San Diego.
About a mile before
we hit the station
we're going to uncouple
the last few cars.
We'll be in them.
Every cop in the country
will be looking for us,
but we won't be there.
[music playing]
Mirror, mirror on the wall.
[music playing]
I knew you'd come back.
Glad you did.
Come on, let's go.
I need your help.
We need to separate this
car from the engine.
The only place to do that
is between the first passenger
car and the bar car.
Alex--
Just don't tell me you'll
be back in five minutes.
I'll be back in a bit.
Come on.
Trust me, you'll
all be safer here.
Why don't I believe you?
Just hurry.
That train is going to
make Swiss cheese out
of that station in
about five minutes.
Yeah, right.
Phone lines at out
at Union Station.
LAPD's on the way.
I don't think they're
going to make it.
You better step on it.
[music playing]
Well I'm not going to be
here when this thing hits.
[music playing]
Wait here.
[grunting]
Sinclair?
Sinclair.
Sinclair?
[gun firing]
What the hell
are you doing here?
I'm still on the clock.
You know the kneecap
is the most painful place
in the human body to be shot.
No problem.
[music playing]
Well you know I'm here.
Not too smart, Sinclair.
Without hostages you
put us all on death row.
Shoot me.
I'm unarmed, you got a
clear shot if you want it.
Or you could let me help
you stop this thing.
It's our only chance.
You think after
all the trouble
you've been causing me that
I'm gonna let you live?
You should've just let me
stay behind like I wanted to.
Would've been a whole
lot easier on both of us.
Shut up.
You're not smart as
I thought, Sinclair.
Do me a favor.
Kill this son of a bitch.
Love to.
[music playing]
[gun firing]
Kill him, Enzo.
[music playing]
Don't!
[train crashing]
[grunting]
[radio chatter]
C'mon, let's get outta here.
[music playing]
Holy cow.
Check the train.
I'll check the station.
We need to get a
unit to follow line.
We're missin' half
the train here.
[music playing]
Let me go, you're free.
Shut up and keep moving.
TRAIN ANNOUNCER: South 15
to the San Diego and Mexico
will be leaving from tracks
three and four in 15 minutes.
[music playing]
Freeze, Enzo.
This has gone too far.
When did you sprout morality?
You said everything
was going to be fine.
You said no one was
going to get hurt.
No one was going to get killed.
You said nothing would go wrong.
TRAIN ANNOUNCER: All
aboard track four
to San Diego and Tijuana.
You here that.
We're going to be on
that train, and you're
going to look the other way.
No, it's too late.
Let the girl go!
You're going to
look the other way.
Not this time.
Let the girl go!
You haven't got the guts.
Maybe.
And maybe not.
You want her?
You can have her.
[gun firing]
[music playing]
[grunting]
Man, you never learn.
[grunting]
Don't do it, man.
Stop!
LUKE SINCLAIR: Give me the gun!
No!
You'll be no better than him.
[music playing]
[train horn sounding]
Police, freeze!
[music playing]
Mr. Sinclair, do feel
remorse for the crime
that you committed?
The only remorse I have
is not being able to be
there to protect my family.
You know for the past eight
years, every six months you've
given me that same
answer knowing
full well that when you said
it your parole would be denied.
Why?
It's the truth.
Well in light of what
has happened recently
and with recommendation
of the governor,
I'm going to give you
that parole anyway.
[music playing]
And I hope you have some
peace, Mr. Sinclair.
[music playing]
Thought I was gonna
have to take a bus.
[chuckling]
It seemed like
the least I can do.
Besides, I need to
ask you a question.
Luke, you were off the train.
Why'd you come back for us?
I, uh, I let some
people down once.
I didn't want that
to happen again.
So where you gonna go?
I don't know.
But I'm not takin' the train.
[laughter]
Then hop in.
[music playing]
[music playing]
[music playing]
(SINGING) Been so
long since I had you--
had you near me.
All night long.
Think about you.
Wish you could hear me.
I don't know where
it went wrong.
He shot.
I shot.
It was over before too long.
Been three years since I've seen
the light of your sweet face.
Switching gears ain't been easy.
My life's out of pace.
I don't know who was to blame.
These walls surround me, and
I know I can't [inaudible]..
No excuses.
No excuses when
you play with love.
No excuses.
Ain't no use in
blaming you, my love.
You did what you could.
Did what you thought you should.
[whistling]
MCHENRY: Hey, [inaudible].
Oh, hey, McHenry.
How's the hand?
Eh, kind hurts.
Any problems?
- Piece of cake.
Great.
See you tomorrow.
