:42:04
I have put 2,400 pounds of explosive...
:42:06
in one of the 1,446 schools
in greater New York.
:42:10
It is fitted with a timer
set to explode at exactly 3:00 p.m.
:42:15
Thank you.
Your silence says I'm understood.
:42:18
Did you say 2,400 pounds?
:42:20
Yes, but please
don't interrupt again.
:42:22
Simon says, if you attempt
to evacuate schools...
:42:25
the bomb will be detonated
by radio.
:42:27
And, gentlemen,
someone will be watching.
:42:29
Repeat, one school will be dismissed
at 3:00 p.m., permanently.
:42:33
- Unless--
- Unless what?
:42:35
Unless John McClane and his new best
friend complete the tasks I set them.
:42:39
John, are you listening?
:42:43
Yeah.
:42:44
The pay phone beyond Hope,
Tomkins Square Park.
:42:47
Twenty minutes.
Go by foot. No rush.
:42:50
If you're really clever,
you'll learn the location of the bomb
and the code to disarm it.
:42:54
Oh, and by the way, gentlemen...
:42:56
we got something of a bargain
on radio detonators.
:42:59
The only problem is
the darn things seem to respond...
:43:01
to police and FBI frequencies.
:43:03
So, if I were you,
I'd keep off your radios.
:43:07
Simon, wait.
:43:13
Twenty-four hundred pounds
of that liquid stuff.
:43:16
My God.
Get me the commissioner.
:43:19
He's doing a press conference. He's
supposed to be here in half an hour.
:43:22
All right, Ricky, get
every senior officer on the site
and get 'em here right away.
:43:25
You're not gonna give me
any jurisdictional nonsense on this?
:43:27
I got two kids
in the school on 64th Street.
:43:31
- What can I do to help you?
- How many men have you got?
:43:33
Seventy-five. But if I push the panic
button, I can get 500 from Washington.
:43:36
- When?
- 2:30, 3:00.
:43:39
Between now and then--
:43:41
We're gonna have to do this
all by ourselves. Let's go.
:43:45
And Tomkins Square Park
is more than two miles away,
so you guys better get running.
:43:48
No radios.
You take my telephone.
:43:50
You get anything, you call me
through the switchboard. Good luck.
:43:54
Thanks.
Find that bomb.
:43:57
- Ricky, where are they?
- Right over here.
:43:59
- The senior man present is Chief Allen.
- Chief of what?
