- 59th Street. This is 59th Street, people.
Shop till you drop.
Stay clear of the closing doors, please.
Okay, 51st Street, 51st Street, watch your step.
Stay clear of the closing doors, please.
42nd street, Grand Central station.
Stay clear of the closing doors, please.
28th Street, people.
- Hey, I got to see back there.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, what do you want?
- I'm taking your train.
[ knocking on door ]
- Yeah?
- Back up, lady! - Whoa!
What the hell are you doing?
- Open that cab door. Do it now!
- Move back. Move back! Get back!
Take your foot off the mic pedal or I'll shoot it off.
- You just back off with that gun, all right?
- Just answer the question. What do you see?
- I see a man leaning against the front car.
- And when he gets on, you shut the doors.
- All right.
Happy?
[ sneezes ]
[ knocking ]
- All right, Mr. Green?
- Yeah, 100%.
- Okay. Let's go for a ride.
I thought you could drive this thing.
- It wasn't my fault. - It's the train.
She bucks all the time, especially in switching.
She's a dog. - Yeah, I know she's a dog.
- There's the electric box.
- Yeah.
[ brakes squeal ]
Taking a brake handle, reverse key.
And I want your cutting key too.
Thank you.
- Command Center will call in about a minute.
You will not answer. Is that clear?
- Yes, sir. They can call all they want.
I'm deaf. I'm out of it.
- Keep still.
Calm.
Very good.
[ coughing ]
- Why is the train stopped?
- Hey, mister, what's going on?
- Thank you, Mr. Grey.
- Don't mention it, Mr. Green.
- Excuse me.
- Hey, who the hell are you?
- Can I have your cab key, please?
- Give him the key.
- Please?
- Give him the key.
- No.
- Give it up!
- Thank you.
- Frank, what's going on with Pelham?
- What's going on here? Look at this.
- What the heck is going on here.
Look at it, Caz. - What?
- Stonehouse, what's your problem?
- I got a southbound local.
He's laying down between 23rd and 28th.
- How long? - Couple or three minutes.
I tried to raise him with the radio,
but he won't answer the radio. Why won't he answer the radio?
- Well, don't worry about it. Could be a lot of things.
- Command Center calling Pelham One Two Three.
Pelham One Two Three, do you read me?
Come in, please. Where are you?
Pelham One Two Three, come in, please.
What? Are you deaf?
- Well, he's moving now.
- The dumb idiot's moving backwards!
- Oh, for Christ's...
- Stops again!
- Stopped is better than backwards.
- Yeah. Pelham One Two Three, please come in!
[ sneezes ]
- Command Center to Pelham One Two Three.
Do you read me?
Come in, please.
Command Center to Pelham One Two Three.
Come in, please!
- Any trouble, Mr. Green?
- Smooth as silk, Mr. Blue.
- Well, let's get it moving.
We're behind two minutes.
- Yeah, okay.
- Here we go.
- Command Center to Pelham One Two Three!
Come in!
- Whoa! There you go! - She's moving again!
- Forward this time.
- Oh, my God. She's split. Look at this.
- Yeah. I can see that. - I've never seen that done.
- Phew! Holy mackerel!
[ gasps ]
- Hey!
[ screaming, clamoring ]
- What's going on?
- Attention, please!
Everybody sit down.
Sit down, remain seated.
If you rise, you will be shot!
- What? - Oh, my God...
- Silence!
Who's with you?
- Uh, nobody.
I mean, my mom's meeting us.
- She said she'll call 911
if we're not home in exactly 38 hours.
- Uh, minutes.
- This is not gonna happen.
- You see that red dot on your chest?
If I squeeze this trigger,
I'll fill it with 850 rounds a minute.
Sit down.
Sit down!
Very good.
Want a pack of gum?
Take it.
- I guess.
- He has stopped again.
- Hey, people, I got cars piling up here!
- What's he doing now?
Pelham One Two Three! Come in, please!
- What are they doing now? Look at this!
- Must be a couple of mental cases!
I'm going down there!
- Command Center to Pelham One Two Three!
Come in, please!
Train operator?
- Yes, sir?
- Come to me.
Come!
Now this is what I want you to do.
I want you to go back to those five cars that we cut loose.
I want you to gather those people together
and walk them back to the 28th Street Station.
You got that?
- People hate getting off in the middle of a tunnel.
- Please shut up and just do it.
- Yes, sir.
- Please let me off! I have a doctor's appointment.
- No.
- Come on, lady. Sit down.
- Please, this same thing happened to me
on the Long Island Railroad, I swear.
I couldn't go through it all over again.
- Nobody leaves.
- Sit down, lady.
- Okay, except my brother. - Nobody leaves.
- Come on, he's just a kid. - Quiet up, little man!
- Sit down.
- Excuse me, mister?
Don't you think you should let us in on what's going on?
Maybe we could help.
- You're being held by four dangerous people
with automatic weapons. That's what's going on.
Is that clear?
- Hey!
[ clamoring ]
- What's going on? - Hey, hey!
- All right, calm down!
Sit down.
[ coughing ]
- Motion detectors in place.
Power's out between 14th and 33rd, all four tracks,
local, express, northbound and south.
- I still see lights in the tunnel.
- Emergency lighting.
They're on AC just like the signals.
- Do you read me?
Pelham One Two Three, come in, please!
- She's still laying dead!
- Time you got, Mr. Green?
- I got 3:10.
- Command Center to Pelham One Two Three!
Did you cut the electricity down there?
Answer me!
- It's time to talk to them.
[ coughing ]
Are you all right?
- This thing's gonna kill me.
- Well, that's entirely possible.
- This is Pelham One Two Three to Command Center.
Do you read me?
- Yeah, I read you, you maniac! Where the hell have you been?
Do you know that Caz Hollowitz is personally
coming down there to fry your ass?
- We have taken your train.
I repeat. We have taken your train.
- Everybody just shut up, okay? Shut up in here now!
Pelham One Two Three, what exactly do you mean
that the train has been taken?
Are you the operator?
- Negative.
- Then who are you?
- We have hijacked your train.
- What?
- We are heavily armed.
We are holding hostages and we will not hesitate to kill
any and all of them if you do not do precisely as we say.
Am I making myself clear?
- Absolutely, yes, sure.
- Do not bother using your 6-wire.
I will communicate only with
the New York City Police Hostage Negotiation Team, nobody else.
That's all.
[ phone rings ]
- Yeah?
- Yeah, detective specialist Inez Ray, please.
- Piscotti?
- Kay, I didn't recognize your voice.
- How's the Transit Authority?
- Hey, you must miss me, right?
- Glad to be out of the real world, huh?
- I'm not out of it right now.
We got some psycho that just hijacked a train.
How fast can you get over to the 42nd Street Command Center?
- I'll be right over. - All right, hurry up!
- Perimeter clear?
- Clear as day.
[ radio feedback ]
- Listen, you gonna wait for your partner or you wanna...
- We hear you, Pelham One Two Three, we hear you.
Hello. Can you hear us? Can you hear us?
Come in, please.
- Identify yourself.
- Yeah, I'm Detective Piscotti with the negotiation team.
Can you tell me your name or what you'd like me to call you?
Give me something so that we can talk to each other.
How about that, huh?
- Call me Blue.
- All right, Blue.
Call me Anthony, all right?
Why don't you tell me in your own words
what's going on down there?
I'd like to hear it from you.
- Anthony, we have 14 hostages, including two children.
And we will kill one every time you do not follow our commands.
I hope that's clear.
- Listen, there's no reason for anybody to get hurt.
We're gonna work through this, okay?
- We demand $5 million in cash
for the release of the subway car and all the hostages.
It is now 3:13.
The money must be in our hands by 4:13, one hour from now.
I know your capabilities.
At precisely 4:13, we will execute one hostage
for every minute you are late.
When you've contacted the mayor's office,
report back to me for further instructions.
- All right. Let me see if I got this straight, okay?
- These demands are not negotiable.
- We got 14 people. Two are kids.
They want $5 million.
Okay. Well, let's make sure we understand
that no one has to get hurt.
Blue? Come in.
Pelham One Two Three, this is Command Center.
I got to find out that I have everything together on this.
Please, Blue, come back to me. Come back, Blue.
Blue, come in, come in. Pelham One Two Three, come in!
- This is ridiculous.
- What's the holdup? Someone on the track?
Is it a jumper or a pusher?
- I believe it's a mechanical problem, ma'am.
- But how long... - Excuse me, ma'am.
Post 17. Go ahead, Central.
- Call by land line immediately! - Uh-huh.
- Do you copy? - Yeah.
- Hey, officer, what's going on here?
- Yeah, what's going on around here?
- Hey, officer, I'm talking to you!
What? Are you on a break? Calling your bookie?
- Take the bus, ma'am.
Post 17, what we got?
- A subway car's been hijacked. There are hostages involved.
We're not putting it out on the radio.
We're trying to keep the media out of it as long as possible.
- I read you.
- There's a Transit Authority supervisor down there somewhere
between 28th and 14th.
- Saw him a couple of minutes ago.
He was headed down track on foot.
- Well, find him and get him out!
- Officer, you listening?
- Post 17 to Central, I'm looking down the tunnel now.
I don't see him. I'm going in after him.
- Where you going?
Your job is to stay on that train.
- They said they'd kill me.
- You're like the captain of a ship!
You're supposed to go down with it!
- That young woman conductor's going down.
That do it for you?
- Excuse me. Do you work for the subway?
- You butt out!
Tell Command Central I'm on my way to investigate!
- I wouldn't do that if I was you.
- I know you wouldn't.
- Excuse me. I'm sorry. Which is the famous third rail?
- That's it. 625 volts.
- Fry you to a crisp.
- If the power was on, which it ain't.
- Let's get through the fat real quick.
He's not negotiating.
He's determined to complete the job.
He's a consummate pro.
He'll only talk to us on his terms when he wants to.
- Yeah, I wouldn't wait for him to call.
- You should be sitting in this seat.
- You got here first.
I'll coach and you can be the hero.
- Thanks a lot.
- This is boring!
- Be happy it's so boring.
- Shut up. - Yeah.
- Why don't you let the kids go?
- Nobody asked you, bitch!
- Watch your mouth!
- Watch yours! - Yo!
Nobody means any disrespect.
- Sorry. My bad, all right?
You got kids here. It's unpredictable.
I'm just saying that you should let 'em go, that's all.
- Nobody's supposed to talk.
- Nobody's talking.
Do you mind not pointing that gun?
- Shoot 'em.
Hey...
You like pornography?
Hmm?
I do.
Huh?
You like guns?
This is a really cool gun.
What's your name, huh?
Come on. Whisper it to me.
Shaky.
I'll call you Shaky.
[ chuckles ]
Hey!
Shaky?
- Mr. Grey?
Can I see you a moment, please?
- Keep my seat warm.
Yeah?
- Leave the woman alone.
Just stand here, Mr. Grey.
- Stand there, Mr. Grey, what?
Stand here, Mr. Grey, what?
What's the magic word, Mr. Blue?
- Money.
[ chuckles ]
- Money.
- Hello, Blue. Pelham One Two Three. Come in.
Come in, Pelham One Two Three. Do you hear me?
Pelham One Two Three, come in.
- Do you have authorization from the mayor's office
to pay the $5 million?
- No, not yet.
- You have 49 minutes... - Listen up...
- And we will execute a hostage.
- Listen, it's gonna take time to get that kind of money.
You know that, Blue, and that's the truth.
Now do you want me to tell you the truth here
or do you want me to lie to you?
- Truth would be less costly for the people on this train.
- Good. Then we understand each other.
Now, you got two kids on the train.
- Yes? Your point being?
- Well, I can tell you, I got one.
They get hungry, they get antsy.
They're a factor that you can't control.
Why don't we just release the children?
- The children stay.
[ sneezes ]
- Bless you.
Everything that you try to do to cooperate
is gonna work in your favor.
Every person that you release is another argument
your attorney can make before the judge.
- No, no, no. I will not be judged.
- What does that mean?
- You have 48 minutes. Thank you.
- Blue? Come on, just stay with me, Blue.
This guy won't budge.
- I gotta pee.
- You gotta go to the bathroom?
- Quiet!
- He's gotta go to the bathroom. You have to let him go.
- Well, he can hold it.
- Come on, it could get nasty.
[ sighs ]
- Brown!
- What? - Kid's gotta pee.
- So? - So take him!
- Why me?
- Just do it.
- I'll take him. Come on, babe.
- Not you! Sit down.
- Where's the bathroom?
- You're gonna have to off the edge, all right, babe?
- Don't look.
- I promise.
So what's that supposed to be?
- It's a solid gold M-16.
- Nice thing you wear around your neck.
That supposed to make you bad?
- We're not supposed to talk to you.
- Come on.
It's just us.
Bad guy's over there.
I was bad, too.
I was so bad...
I was so bad, they took my baby away.
- So?
- So now I don't hang out with my old friends
who ain't got no damn life.
I got me a job and I got my son back.
He's four years old now
and he's got his whole life ahead of him.
You know that?
Just like this little kid right here.
Come on, Brown.
Just say he escaped. Say it was my fault.
- They'd kill you.
Come on.
- Detectives Ray? Piscotti? Deputy Mayor.
- Hello. - Hi, how are you?
- Hello.
- What about the ransom?
- The mayor will not allow himself to be boxed
into a corner by a bunch of crazies.
- With all due respect, but these people are not crazy.
- It's reasonable and prudent to suppose you can hijack a train,
get $5 million in cash, walk out through a subway tunnel
in the middle of Manhattan at four in the afternoon
while the whole world watches it on TV?
- Yes! - Yes.
- They have a plan!
- What is it?
- Respectfully, sir, we don't know.
- Well, what do they want?
- Could be a mercenary who doesn't care about the cause.
- The cause is money.
- Yeah, but not a lot. Come on down here, Johnny.
You have a guy that's got 14 hostages in there
with two kids being part of that 14 hostages.
He's a consummate pro and he's planned down to the second.
And he's given us a deadline of 4:13.
- This guy could ask you for $30 million
and you'd have to give it to him.
- Timing and control are everything to this man.
- So he's not gonna give it up.
- No. - No.
- Yes. Well, the city of New York
does not give in to terrorists.
- How about just getting the money just as an option?
- Do your job. We don't want options.
- I got a Transit Authority supervisor
headed down the tunnel, one of the guys
who thinks it's his train. - Get him out!
- Yeah. I dispatched a patrol officer.
- You mean to tell me an officer has a radio down there?
- Yeah.
- That's good. He can be our eyes.
[ beeping ]
- Action.
Move it, move it, move it, move it!
- Whoa! Whoa!
- Let's back it up, cowboy!
- What the hell do you think you're doing?
This is city property you're fooling around with!
- Yeah?
So's the pigeon poop on Grant's Tomb.
- I'm the line superintendent. I'm coming onboard!
- I warned you, stupid.
[ gunfire ]
- Oh...
- Hey! Everybody forward!
- Let's go! Let's go!
Everybody forward! Let's go!
What happened?
- I warned the stupid bastard. He just kept coming.
- Was he alone? - I didn't see any.
- There's another blip on the screen.
- Just one?
- As far as I know, yeah.
- Okay. Not unexpected.
You stay calm.
Watch the door. - I got it.
- I thought no one's supposed to get hurt.
That's what you said, right?
No one was supposed to get hurt, right?
- Guess I got us on the scoreboard, huh?
- I can't believe it. They just shot the supervisor.
- Is he alive? Can we help him?
- No.
- They just drew first blood.
Your line supervisor?
- Caz Hollowitz?
- They shot Caz Hollowitz?
- I don't have positive identification.
- They shot Caz Hollowitz! They shot Caz!
- Brown?
Listen, you know you can get out of this any time, right?
You just walk out that door any time.
- You don't get it.
- I do get it.
Okay? It's about fear.
You think this makes you bad, huh?
You know this is wrong.
Come on.
- Mr. Brown?
I want you to walk over to the other end and cover that door.
I want Mr. Grey over here with me so I can keep an eye on him.
- He loves his guns.
- Maybe it was necessary. I didn't see.
- He got off on it.
- Come in, Pelham One Two Three!
Come in, Pelham One Two Three!
You just shot our line supervisor.
I thought we had an agreement going here, Blue.
Come in, Pelham One Two Three!
Blue, come in!
- We told you that's what you get, didn't we?
[ sneezes ]
But you're too arrogant and almighty
to think that anyone could ever crack the system!
Well, somebody did, all right?
Well, that's what you get!
- Who is this? Hello? Who is this?
Hello, Pelham One Two Three.
Who is this, Pelham One Two Three?
- Hell with them.
- We told you to stay away.
- Who is this? Who was that guy?
- I told you that this wasn't a game.
- Hello, Blue? Come in, Blue. Come in...
- I do the talking, yes?
- Yeah.
Yeah, sure. Sorry.
Just I knew the line super.
- Did you? - Yeah.
Caz Hollowitz.
Flamboyant jerk.
Ran his own little kingdom. You know what I mean?
I mean, that's what I'm talking about.
That's what I was always running up against.
- You must stay relaxed.
- I'm relaxed.
I mean, you know, I'm... I'm relaxed.
- You... You are a curious man.
- Hold it! People, listen up!
There's an undercover cop on the train.
There were two... Street Crime Unit.
One got off at 33rd Street,
called in later when the news got out.
Partner's still on the train with the hostages.
- Male or female? - Don't know that.
- What time? - 3:31.
Somebody's gotta fix the digital on here now too.
Hey? - Yes, sir.
- Fix the digital on this side over here next.
- Right away.
- What are you people doing here, huh?
- I'm sorry. I... - I have got operators calling
and there's a row of computers that just went out!
- I'm sorry, all right?
We all have problems right now, right?
- Oh, yeah, we all got problems, huh?
You wanna hear about problems?
How about half a million passengers trying to get home?
- Stonehouse, I'm sorry. - I'm gonna tell you something.
I never thought I'd see the day that talking
to a murderer would take priority
over running a railroad!
- Pelham One Two Three to Command Center?
Pelham One Two Three to Command Center.
- Hello? Come in.
Yeah, we're here.
You know what we're trying to do out here, right?
- You have 40 minutes left.
- I don't like this guy.
Look, you can either deal with me
or you can deal with the tactical team.
My high command is already getting antsy.
So, please, I think we can talk this thing through.
It's just me and you.
You asked for us, here we are.
- Bravo, bravo, Antonio.
You play your part very well.
- I'm not playing and neither are you.
Now there's one man down already.
But I think we can work this out.
- We?
It will work out.
- Blue?
Blue?
Now explain to me this.
- These lights are the power boxes.
And these are the ladders to the exit.
It's the emergency ones.
- How many blocks are we looking at?
- 10 blocks.
- 30. - Oh, yeah.
- 30 exits in a 10-block area. - Oh, yeah.
- Well, that makes sense.
- You better get your Plan B ready.
- Why the sudden change?
- There's no sudden change. Just playing the odds.
[ gasping ]
- Hey, do you have a medical condition?
- I can't breathe! - Heart problems?
Asthma?
Listen, your okay.
Just breathe. Three deep breaths.
Here we go.
- Are your people in place?
- I can have three five-man teams
in the subway in two minutes, but it's a gamble.
The hijackers are protected.
We don't know how many or where they are on the train.
- Go in. Take 'em out.
- Sir.
- Shut!
Shut up, Shaky.
You! Sit down...now!
Shut your face!
- Everything quiet out here, Mr. Grey?
- Everything's fine.
- Right side, right side.
- Stay out of sight!
Repeat, stay out of sight.
- Cover me, cover.
Get in position.
- Stay against the wall.
- Get down!
- Tacom?
- You next. Go, go.
[ beeping ]
- Look at this. Look at this!
- It's just like clockwork.
- Like clockwork? You better be right.
- Of course, I'm right.
[ sighs ]
- They sure are taking their time.
- Don't worry.
They'll pay us. They have no choice.
- They might not just go along with it, you know.
You know?
They might say okay and then try to...
- Yeah, and then a lot of people will die.
- Including us.
- Well, either you live or you die.
- Not that I care, I don't care.
Who wants to drive a subway train the rest of his life?
- What'd they finally nail you for?
- They didn't nail me. I was framed.
I was.
A gang was running dope on the subways,
giving it to a train operator,
him giving it to a contact downtown,
they tried to pin it on me. They didn't have any evidence.
- Hmm, you were innocent. - Yeah.
[ chuckles ]
Yeah, I was innocent.
I wouldn't do something like that.
You think I'd do something like that?
- Sniper reports that there are two other suspects
down there with machine guns
plus whoever else is in the cab with Blue.
- Excuse me.
There's another voice on this tape.
Can you queue it up?
- Yeah.
- Go ahead. Play. - Okay.
- But you're too arrogant and almighty
to think that anyone could ever crack the system.
Well, somebody did, all right?
[ sneezes ]
- Told you, it's going around.
- This guy sounds like a train operator.
Astoria Boulevard.
- Myrtle Avenue. - Flatbush.
- Pelham One Two Three to Command Center.
- Anthony here. Go ahead.
- You have 33 minutes left, Anthony.
- I'm listening, Blue.
- You are to have an armored car waiting at the northwest corner
of the South Ferry Subway entrance.
- Got it.
- You will have 1st Avenue cleared
to the Queensboro Bridge.
- Where are you going?
- Further instructions to follow.
Blue out.
- How about the ransom?
- Under discussion at the mayor's office.
- What's taking so long? - Well, it's not that simple.
Try getting a bank to do business
with the City of New York.
- Get the money cleared as fast as you can.
We might get another shot at them.
- You would pay and go along with this loony scheme
of driving armored cars through the streets of Manhattan?
- Yes, I would, sir.
Listen, I would pay, I'd get more time with the hostages.
And, look, I'd get another shot at these guys.
And I might even be able to bring a couple
of the bad guys down.
- You mean you'd kill the bad guys?
- That would be the plan, sir.
- Good footage.
- Excellent footage, sir.
- What about the hostages?
Any chance of them being caught in the middle?
- There's no guarantee.
- The snipers don't miss.
- So maybe we lose one or two.
That's not bad out of eight, as long as it's not a child.
- No, no. There's 14 hostages, sir.
Yeah, I mean, the mayor would have won by a landslide,
but killing a kid, that would be hard
to put a spin on it, yes.
- We're talking about peoples' lives.
- We're talking about the 6:00 news.
- What time did you say this would be going down?
- Anytime you'd like, sir.
- We can't move without the ransom money.
Are we agreed on that? - Yes.
- You make me ashamed to say that
I work for the City of New York.
- Just put it down and do what you're supposed to do.
- Excuse me, but I need a list of all the MTA workers
who were fired or who quit
under bad circumstances in the last 10 years.
- Yeah. Well, you do it yourself, okay?
Because I've got a few other things to do over here.
Maybe you didn't notice.
Send all locals around the loop of South Ferry, will you?
Reroute that thing over there, will you please?
- Mr. Stonehouse, I'm sorry that you lost your friend today.
But someone down there, one of those suspects,
they know how the subway system works.
They know how to run a train.
It's one of yours.
- One of mine?
I'll get you a list of the employees.
- Thank you.
[ police siren chirps ]
- Hey, guys, can I get inside?
- No, no, no. You can't go in there.
- No. No access.
- Let's go to the other side. - Okay.
- Yeah, you, back behind the barricades.
- Back it up!
[ woman singing softly ]
- Nobody's supposed to talk!
You!
- Leave him alone!
- Stop it! What are you doing? Leave him alone!
- Sit.
[ shouting ]
- I'm never gonna do without. I'm never gonna do without...
- Come on, just calm down.
- I'm never gonna do without.
- Please stop, please.
- I'm never gonna do without.
- What is your problem?
Huh?
What, are you gonna shoot her?
Aren't we the hero?
- You've got the money.
I'm going down there now.
Meet me at the South Ferry entrance.
- Command Center to Pelham One Two Three!
They've agreed to pay the ransom.
I repeat, they have agreed to pay the ransom.
- Please take down the next set of instructions.
- All right, everybody take it down.
Suzanne, you on?
- The money is to be paid in 50s and 100s,
old bills, random serial numbers.
It is to be bound in packs of $5,000
crosswise with rubber bands.
- Got it.
- You have a large private aircraft
waiting at the Marine Air Terminal.
Make sure there's food. These people are hungry.
- I don't understand. What food?
- The hostages. They're coming with me.
- Right.
- He's taking the hostages with him?
The mayor's gonna flip.
- Get someone.
- Okay, Blue, you have your ransom.
Now about the children...
- Blue out.
- Come in, Blue. Come in.
Blue. Come in, Blue.
Blue, come in.
Come on, Blue. Come in!
- What's happening here?
- What's happening? - Yeah.
- You brought the girl. Go ask her.
- Attention, please!
The city has agreed to pay for your release.
- Yes!
- As soon as you get the money, will you let us go?
- No, but shortly after.
- Mister, would you mind telling us how much you're getting?
- And why does that interest you?
- A person likes to know his worth.
- $5 million.
- Each?
- All together.
- That's not so terrific.
- I need you to stay away from the women.
- And I need you to stay outta my face.
- I have shot people for not obeying me.
- Well, I guess that's the difference between me and you.
See, if I want somebody shot, I'll do it myself.
- Well, $5 million on the way,
it's a good time to shoot each other.
- The women...
- Yeah, right over here. Okay, there it is.
Stack it up.
- They're telling me they're sorting the money.
But they're gonna need more time, Blue.
Come in, come in!
- No more time.
- We're asking for 15 minutes more.
- Negative. - 10 minutes then!
Just give us 10 more minutes!
Listen, you're in charge.
You can make this thing turn out right.
- It will.
- 15 minutes.
- We do it by the numbers just like the plan.
- Maybe an hour is not enough time.
- An hour is plenty.
You know how the system works.
You give 'em an hour, they take an hour.
You give 'em two, they take two. An hour is plenty.
- What if they can't make it?
- Then we do what we said we'd do.
- How long ago did I tell them to get that money ready?
I asked them to do this at least 25 minutes ago.
- That's the rest of it?
- There we go.
- You get it? Got it all?
- Come on, there's no time. Come on!
- They're coming out!
- Come on! Let's get over there!
Come on, guys!
- All right, here we go.
- The money's here. The money is here!
- Move it! Move it!
Here we go.
- Go! Go!
[ police sirens blare ]
- Proceeding west on Canal Street.
We're on our way to Lafayette.
Traffic heavy.
- We'll clear you all the way to 28th Street.
- It's gonna be tight. - Roger that.
[ car horn honks ]
- There's a delay. The patrol car has crashed.
Repeat, the patrol car has crashed.
- There's been an accident.
- Yeah. What?
I don't believe it!
There's been an accident.
The cruiser crashed. They're out of commission.
- Tell them to get the money and keep on going.
- Get the money out, keep on going.
Move! - Yeah.
- You all right? Get the money!
- All right, let's go! Go!
- Command Center to Pelham One Two Three.
Come in, Blue. We got a problem.
- Which is what?
- The motorcade that was bringing the money just crashed.
- I told you no more concessions.
If you thought I wasn't serious,
then you're even more incompetent
than I gave you credit for.
Mr. Green?
- Yeah?
- We are coming up on one minute.
- Which one is it gonna be?
- What difference does it make?
- There it is! There it is!
Can we zoom in?
- No.
No, we got to move up.
- Take it easy. Take it easy, okay?
I don't wanna get any closer to those crazies than we have to.
- Not gonna make it.
- He'll execute, no question.
- Are you prepared to hit the train?
- We'll do what we have to do.
But it's not gonna be a walk in the park.
You give us the word and we'll go in.
- 55 seconds.
- I don't believe this.
- Well, if you don't have the stomach for it, stay here.
- What do they expect us to do?
If they know that we're wrecked, how can they ask us if...
- They don't know anything.
That's it.
Command Center to Pelham One Two Three.
The money has arrived.
I repeat, the money has arrived.
- Excuse me. What are you doing?
- They only know what we tell 'em.
Command Center to Pelham One Two Three.
Come in, Blue. This is Anthony.
They money has arrived. I repeat, the money has arrived.
- You just made it, didn't you?
- Yeah.
- Listen closely.
You are to send two unarmed police officers down the track.
- Carrying $5 million in small bills, right?
- They can manage.
Now the children will open the bags, so no dye packs.
- Got it.
[ police sirens ]
- All right, make some room! - Come on!
- All right, let's go! Go! Go! Get it down there!
[ beeping ]
- They're they are.
- That's too soon.
- Got a report there's someone in the tunnel.
- See if you can get to them without being seen.
- Idiots!
- Okay, how's the light?
- Come on.
[ imitates gunshot ]
- Hey! Wait! Stop! Police!
- Don't shoot!
[ gunfire ]
[ screaming ]
- Someone's shooting down there!
- We have gunfire.
[ grunts ]
[ screaming, clamoring ]
- Shut up and be quiet!
- What the hell are you doing?
- Shut up!
- What's going on there?
Hold your fire! Hold your fire!
- I don't know who fired first,
but these two TV news guys were right in the middle of it.
They're okay. They weren't hit.
- Excuse me? Excuse me.
I know first aid! I can help her!
- Everybody shut up!
- I don't wanna go up there!
- Where you shot? Huh?
- Right here. - Let me see.
You're gonna be all right, okay?
Here's what I want you to do, just press on it.
I know it hurts. I know it.
A lot of pressure, right?
- Where'd you learn that?
- On the job training, babe.
You're gonna be okay, all right?
- Lucky for me.
- You.
- Me?
- Stand up, please.
- Hey, Mr. Blue, this one's like my angel of mercy.
She's saving my life over here.
- You'll be all right.
Come along.
- What for?
- I need your help. Come on.
- Lucky bitch. Getting outta here?
- All I need you to do is I need you to go down about 100 feet.
Just wait for the men delivering the money.
Be careful stepping off the train.
- Hey.
When you see that baby, you give him a hug for me, okay?
- Come on. - Yeah.
- Come on.
- Should I tell them that we need a medic?
- Yeah, sure.
- Okay.
[ gasps ]
[ gunfire ]
- They just shot a hostage.
- Get the kids.
- Why? We're meeting their demands.
They're getting their money.
- Somebody threw a shot at them.
- Who? - Nobody knows.
- Command Center to Pelham One Two Three.
The money's in the tunnel and you shoot somebody?
Uh-uh. That wasn't the deal, Blue.
- You shot one of my people.
I told you what the penalty would be.
- What are you doing?
[ clamoring ]
- Shut up!
- Now they got two boys.
Can't tell what they're doing with them.
- They're bringing out two kids.
- What are you doing with the kids, Blue?
- Two boys have been moved to the back of the train.
I'm going in with tear gas.
- Wait. - Why wait?
They just killed a hostage! - He's on it!
- What are you doing with the kids, Blue?
- Whatever I do with the boys, you can't stop me, can you?
- No, Blue. You're in charge.
- I'm here. You're there.
- And everything's going according to your plan.
So there's no problems, right?
The money's in the tunnel. I guarantee you that.
My men are down there and if you'll just give them a minute
to walk it to you...
- Lights in the tunnel. - Lights.
- Just stay seated, people.
Okay, close enough!
Toss the bags up on the train!
Okay, gentlemen, turn around.
Go home.
Boys, look at me.
Drag the money right here.
Dump it out on the floor.
- Wow!
- You boys ever see $5 million before?
Mr. Green, time to take care of business.
- Get us there, Mr. Green.
[ giggling ]
Woo!
- No one makes a move. Pull back.
- Here's a complete list of all the MTA employees
who were let go under bad circumstances
in the last 10 years.
- How many?
- In total, 63, but half are either dead or in the loony bin.
Now, I can help narrow it down for you.
- Okay. - Okay.
- Pelham One Two Three to Command Center.
- Quiet, everyone! Suzanne, get on this!
- This will be my final instructions.
One: immediately after this conversation,
you are to restore power to the entire sector.
- Restore power.
- Two: clear all local tracks and, by clear,
I mean all signals set to green.
If I see a red light, let alone get tripped by one,
I kill a hostage.
- Got it.
- Three: all southbound and northbound trains
are to remain lying dead.
If I see or pass a moving train, I kill a hostage.
- Got it.
- Four: at the South Ferry Station,
I expect the armored car and all roads cleared
to the Marine Air Terminal.
The plane should be fueled for an international...
- Tell me where you're going...
- The plane should be fueled for an international flight!
That's all you need to know.
Five: clear all police personnel from the tunnel.
If you deviate in any way from these instructions,
I kill a hostage.
Blue out.
- So we pull the ESU out of the tunnel
and secure the area around South Ferry.
Let's go, people. On the double!
- Fall back!
Move it! Move it!
- In a moment, the train will start moving.
[ power surges ]
We expect to release you in a short while.
But you will continue to do exactly as we say.
[ knocking on door ]
Very good.
[ sneezes ]
- Wait, we got a problem here.
- He's moving!
We're not prepared for this, man.
- Pelham One Two Three! Blue, what are you doing?
Blue? Blue? Come in! The track isn't clear!
Blue, we're not set up yet! Why are you moving?
- Slight change of plans.
- Well, they're telling me you're gonna start
running into red lights.
- Well, then you better make them green.
- Continuing slow about five miles per hour.
- They haven't figured anything out.
- Of course not.
- She's stopped again.
- Coming.
- Tighten that up.
60 seconds, Mr. Green.
All right, Mr. Green?
- Ready to roll, yeah.
- Command Center to Pelham One Two Three, come in.
- Are all tracks clear and signals set to green?
- What's going on, Blue?
- Are all tracks clear and signals set to green?
- All clear.
- Yes.
- You're a real gent.
Over and out.
- Hello? Hell--
He's broke the connection. He's gone.
- He broke the connection here.
[ chuckles ]
- Ladies and gentlemen...
I am going out on the tracks.
I will have my eye on you.
You've been very helpful.
I want you to continue to be that way.
Thank you.
- You ready?
- He's moving!
- Let's go, move out.
- Hey, lady! You better sit down!
- Hey, hold it, hold it, guys!
- I'm a police officer.
- She's a cop?
- Oh, my leg!
- I think I heard something.
- Mr. Green?
- I think I heard something. - Mr. Green!
- What if they're not on the train?
- That could never happen.
- What if they set the throttle and jumped off the train?
- Hey, move the Pelham line, please!
There's a little gizmo called a dead man's feature.
It's built right into the controller's handle
in case the operator drops dead.
Somebody's hand has always gotta be on that thing
or the train stops cold.
It's low-tech, but it works.
- Where are they taking us now?
- Don't worry. Don't worry.
They'll let us go pretty soon.
- Can't anybody count? All four of them got off!
There's nobody driving the train!
[ clamoring ]
- We do this by the numbers just as we planned.
First, coats.
Check the load in your handgun.
[ squealing ]
- We're not stopping. We're gonna be killed!
- Next, release the magazine from your automatic weapon.
[ coughs ]
Switch coats!
Did you release the magazine from
your automatic weapon, Mr. Grey?
- Are you serious, man? Can you hurry up, please?
- Mr. Grey!
Release the magazine from your automatic weapon.
- Watch me.
- Do what he says so we can get the hell outta here, will you?
- Why don't you shut your face?
- Do it.
- So long, folks.
Bunch of losers.
[ gunshot, grunt ]
- Let's go.
Let's go!
Get his money, Mr. Green.
- I've been going over his plan
and how it's tied in to that sudden move.
- The train moved, it stopped. - Why?
- Because the police in the tunnel...
- That's what he said.
- And you don't believe him?
- Suppose he was trying to do something
that he didn't want anybody else to see?
- Like what? - Like getting off the train.
- The train is moving. They can't do it!
The dead man's feature! - He beat it! He beat it!
He beat it! He beat the dead man's feature.
- We will stop. - How do you know?
- Well, I do know!
I've been riding on these subway cars for over 60 years!
I'm an expert!
They got these things called stoppers
or stickers or something like that!
So whenever a train goes through a red light,
it automatically stops it!
- Except one thing. - What's that?
- They're all green!
[ screams ]
- Come on, let's just get the hell outta here.
Let's just go, just get the hell outta here.
- Keep the change, all right?
- Hey, taxi!
- Come on, hurry it up.
[ gunshots ]
- Call for backup.
- Don't go down there.
- Stop the train.
[ panting ]
[ screaming, clamoring ]
[ chattering ]
- Leave her. Leave her. Grab the extra bag.
We'll meet where we said.
Go, Mr. Green! Go! - I'm going!
[ gunshots, grunting ]
- You were on the train.
Are you a cop?
Well done.
The mayor will come to your funeral.
[ gunshot ]
- Put it down!
- No way.
- Come on. Do the honorable thing.
Put it down. This is over.
- Honor amongst thieves.
Could you use half a million dollars?
- My ex-wife would love it.
I just don't like the odds.
There's a whole platoon coming down here.
Just put it down now.
- Tell me something, Anthony.
They still execute in this state?
- No, Mr. Blue, they don't.
[ sizzling ]
You did real good, ma'am.
- Reset the signals. Everything in the line goes red!
- When he hits the loop at Salisbury,
it'll be doing 70!
- We gotta stop 'em before he hits the loop!
[ screaming, clamoring ]
- We're going too fast to make it!
- It's red!
It's red!
[ brakes squealing, shouting ]
- Told you it would stop!
[ laughs ]
- How many guys left on the MTA list?
- Eight or nine. - Let's go.
[ knocking on door ]
- Who's there?
- New York City Police.
Can we speak to you for just a second?
- What can I do for you?
- Sorry to have bothered you.
- Good evening.
- Ah!
[ laughs ]
- Langman. - Four.
[ laughs ]
[ knocking on door ]
- Yeah?
- New York City Police Department.
Can we talk to you for a second?
- Just a minute!
- How many more of these we got?
- Five.
- I'm in the, uh... I'm in the toilet!
Just a minute!
I'll be right there.
Just a minute!
Um...
[ knocking ]
- Yeah.
- Hubert Langman? - Yeah.
- Hi. I'm Detective Ray. This is Detective Piscotti.
Could we ask you a couple of questions?
- Concerning what?
- It'll just take a couple of minutes.
Could we come in? - Yeah.
- Thank you.
- Where were you this afternoon?
- Oh, um, here.
- Do you work?
- Yeah, I work.
- What do you do?
- In New Jersey, I work for a private bus company.
- School buses?
- Minivans. I take seniors to the mall.
- You take seniors to the mall?
- Yeah. - That's nice.
- Is this a job that you got after
you were fired from the Transit Authority?
- What does that have to do with anything?
- Oh, there was a big hijacking today at the subway.
[ chuckles ]
- You're kidding.
- Hmm, no.
- You know anything about that?
- No.
- Well, the record shows that you were really angry.
Angry enough to, uh, get back at someone?
- Oh, sure. Yeah, I was angry.
Um... But I left that behind.
- You got anybody that can vouch for
you're being here all afternoon?
- Yeah. My, uh... my cat.
- Cat?
- Yeah. Well, I was here sleeping.
- Smells good. What you cooking?
- Excuse me.
Don't you need a warrant to go poking around in peoples' pots?
- You just need to be incredibly hungry.
- Yeah, I know I have a gripe with the Transit Authority,
but that's ancient history, you know.
You don't have a right to be here.
- Listen, I'll get in touch with you if I need more information.
Make sure you stay in the city.
- Thank you, Mr. Langman.
- You know what? This is my home.
And I think I have a right to privacy here.
So, yeah, go. Get the hell out!
- Sorry if we bothered you.
[ sneezes ]
Bless you.
- I told you it's going around.
