- That was pretty good back there, kid. - Thanks.
- What’s the matter, nothing to complain about? - No, just.......
- What? What's the problem? - I'm not like you,
I can't do this shit.
- What does that mean? Like what? - Like... heroic and everything.
I am not that guy.
- Nobody here is a hero, kid. - You saved my life like 10 times,
in the last six hours.
I was doing my job, that's all.
Do you know what you get for being a hero? Nothing! You get shot at.
Pat on the back, bla bla bla. That a boy!
You get divorced...
Your wife can't remember your last name, kids don't want to talk to you...
You get to eat a lot of meals by yourself.
Trust me kid, nobody wants to be that guy.
- Then why you doing this? - Because there is nobody else to do it right now.
Believe me if there was somebody else to do it
i would let them do it. There's not, so we're doing it.
That's what makes you that guy.
The things flying now.
Contact Emerson, tell him that we will be there soon.
What the hell are you doing? This floor is restricted access.
I guess you were right, kid.
OK... that's awful.
We got company.
So how would they shut down the power?
- what? - Come on!
Central control Room.
- Fourth floor, fourth floor! - Come on!
Shit!
- Try to keep up! - I am keeping up!
I am just trying to stop for just two seconds to catch a breath.
- They have these things called Gymnasiums... - Well yeah, it's not like...
Come on! Let's go! Let's go!
Intel is fairly certain that the terrorists are mobile.
It is the only way to consistently avoid signal triangulation.
Judging by the amount of hardware they are running,
we are probably looking for a large vehicle,
probably a semi-trailer rig.
Right.
Tell the guys at Homeland Security...
that we need every agent and functioning satellite they have got.
Now!
Playtime is over sweetheart
Don't move! Take your hand off the gun.
Hands up. Stand up.
Go on, now!
Let's go, kid! You're up!
As fast as you can.
That's enough of this Kung-Fu shit I've met some bitches in my day...
but you...
Still awake, huh?
- Keep doing what you are doing. - OK!
- How much time do you need? - Not much.
Are you done?
No... no, not quite...
I am not exactly checking my email here, you know.
I ran this hacking PN mode on their PI, I am just booting their host...
- what? - It means about 30 seconds, ok?
It is not the easiest thing to do, when...
OK.
- Undo everything you just did, now! - OK, OK...
I'm a righty I need my other hand. I really do.
I'm a righty...
One last door to open.
Do you know what you are doing? Do you realise what this'll do to the country?
Yes, I do. Now open the door.
OK good. Glad we are on the same page.
How you doin’?
Hang on!
Let's just talk about this for once...
How you doing? That's not too tight is it?
Damn it!
Great!
McClane!
Shit!
McClane, get out of there!
Come on man, come on!
Come on man!
Did you see that?
- So you stopped her, right? - Yeah yeah yeah.
Actually having a gun pointed at your head makes it harder to do.
- what? - I think she left a surprise.
Can't you just turn it off? Lock 'em out?
I'm not sure.
I might be able to slow them down though.
Western and central hubs are ours, we are just waiting on Mai.
Hang on, something's up.
All of the security is reactivating.
I think somebody is in the market for some cheap Viagara...
and your girlfriend is dead...
why not check out our sexy singles you can chat with.
It's an e-bomb.
Alright, wait wait wait, OK
- Mai, talk to me what's going on? - Mai...
Oh, yeah, little Asian chick, likes to kick people?
I don't think she will be talking with anybody for a long time.
The last time that I saw her, she was in the...
bottom of an elevator shaft with an SUV up her ass.
What's the matter? Cat got your tongue?
Listen, Jackass! Your Fire Sale is over.
Pack up your little circus or I will come and kick your ass.
You have no idea who I am and of what I am capable of.
When I'm finished here and I promise it will be soon...
I will focus all my attention on you.
You wanna make things personal, fine!
Reroute every cubic foot of natural gas in the pipelines to that station.
- Can you get Bowman on this thing? - Sure.
- Can get anyone. - Do it.
- Now? - Yes, now.
Please, no!
- That is Thomas Gabriel. - Shit!
- You know this guy? - I worked with him.
He was D.O.D.s chief programmer for infrastructure security.
After 9/11, he's the guy that told joint chiefs...
that the system was vulnerable. He was pushing for total overhaul, but they wouldn't listen.
- Gabriel is not exactly people friendly. - You think so?
When he tried to go public they crucified him, destroyed his reputation,
after that he disappeared.
We got a pretty serious problem.
Hold on a minute, what?
I think we need to get out of here, right now.
- They are sending the gas lines here. - Gas? What gas?
Christ!
Oh, all of them!
See that? Those flashing arrows? That is not good.
- All that's coming here? - Yes, I think we gotta go.
Listen, I gotta go. Just find Thomas Gabriel!
McClane? McClane?
Let's go, finish this up!
Right now, Come on!
Get in there!
Let's go, come on, we gotta get out of here.
Oh what is the point, oh man, what is the point?
Hey, knock that off. This has something to do with that code you wrote, now think.
- Come on, help us win. - Win?!
When did we start winning, huh?
Look around, are you out of your mind? We are not even close to winning.
We just got the shit kicked out of us!
You think I'm holding out on you, something I'm not telling you
- I would happily tell you! - Jesus!
Warlock, Warlock! Ah great, there goes the cell phone.
- They knocked the satellites out now? - No, the battery ran out.
- Listen we should go see him. - Who?
The Warlock, it's not that far away, it's in Baltimore.
- You want to go to the Warlocks house, now. - Hey, this is me helping you.
Trust me. We gotta go see the Warlock it is our only hope.
- How do you feel about flying? - You mean like, with a pilot?
- Stick it in the round thing. - What round thing?
Here, put these on.
Stick it in there, that'll work.
- You OK? - Yeah, err, I am afraid of flying.
- Yeah I used to be terrified of flying. - Really?
I took some lessons, you know, face my fears, that kind of thing...
- Yeah, did it help? - Not really.
That's it...
- Is it supposed to make that sound? - Yes.
Maybe we should just drive, it'll be fun like a road trip...
Take it easy, they say taking off is the hardest part.
Really, I'd heard...
- I'll be honest, I missed some classes. - Ha Ha, you did? Really?
You got your license, right? To fly one of these things...
Hey hey. Here we go, we're up!
That's good, that's pretty good.
Jesus! Look at that! This whole area's blacked out.
How will we find Warlocks house?
It will probably be the only one with the lights still on.
Power outage keeps spreading, half the east coast has gone down.
Alright, put everything on emergency generators.
How the hell are they getting past us?
- OK, down there, I see it. - Down there?
Left, left, down.
We gonna land there?
- Alright, hang on. - Oh, Jesus!
The fence! The fence!
- The fence! The fence! - I see it...
Watch...
- wooow! - Come on.
- Oh yeah, taking off is the hardest part. - Let's go!
There’s something you need to know about Warlock, he hates cops...
he hates them, so let me do all the talking.
Hey Mrs. Kludis. Is Freddy home?
I am Matt Farrell and that is Billy.
We are friends from Space Camp.
We went to Space Camp with Freddy.
Freddy!
- Freddy? - You got company.
Frederick, didn't you hear me?
- All Baltimore heard you, ma. - Your friends are here.
Friends? But what the...
Ma, how many times, you don't bring people down here?
I can't see too well, you have lost so much weight!
No, dude I gained 30 lbs, who is that?
You know what it doesn't matter? What are you even doing here?
I am rocking 5 generators just so I can stay online.
And since you are being hunted by assassins, maybe this visit
isn't a productive or a healthy way of spending my time.
- Hey, don't touch that alright? - CB radio?
- A little low tech for you isn't it? - Old? That my friend...
is an end of the world insurance system, OK.
When the last microchip is down I will be able to...
be in contact with the world, be they zombies or not.
I'll tell you that right now.
- What did you bring your Dad here for? - He is cool, he's into games.
- Nice poster. - Oh, what are you, a fan of Fett?
- No, I was more of a Star Wars guy. - Star Wars! Who is this man?
He is...
Dump-truck, I'm not his Dad, I am a cop. How about that?
Ah, a cop, I'm sorry. Thank you very much.
Why'd you bring a cop into my Command Centre?
- Command Centre?! It is a basement. - It is a Command Centre!
Don't help, McClane! I can explain...
Tell us what you know about Thomas Gabriel. That's why we came here.
Thomas Gabriel, that's cool, I didn't know. I'm sorry.
Get out, I want you out of here, man, right now!
Hey, calm down.
- Just calm down big boy. - You calm down, it's my house!
You are going to tell me what I wanna know. Or I'm gonna kill you in your own house.
4 years ago the D.O.D. recruits Thomas Gabriel...
to be a cyber spook for them, OK.
First day on the job he goes and tells his bosses...
that the nations security infrastructure is wide open to compromise .
And what did they say? "We will take it under advisement."
But he doesn't ease up 'cos he is committed, like you read about.
So he breaks into a meeting of the Joint chiefs of Staff, OK?
Using just a laptop he hacks into NORAD
and shuts down the entire defence network
So they put a gun to his head and forced him to stop the hack,
Thomas Gabriel is the guy who shut down NORAD with a laptop,
just to prove a point, you think I'm scared of you?
- Just tell us how to find the guy. - I don't know how, he is a ghost.
He just fell off the grid.
- Another dead end, come on. - Hold on wait, McClane,
Listen, Warlock, a couple of weeks ago I wrote this...
I know dude, you wrote a mutating algorithm security code
that's probably being used right now by Thomas Gabriel.
No, we know that, yes.
- Can you tell us what he's using it for? - I've been trying to figure that out..
Here, look...
The only system I can find using that kind of security,
is the Social Security Administration, OK.
They don't even use it in the main facility, look.
They use it in this building, over here, Woodlawn.
What the hell...
- I know, right? - Right, what?
What the hell you guys talking about?
The power consumption is off the charts.
It's hot, on fire.
- The chilling towers? - That's what I thought.
- Hello, what's a chilling tower? - Jees, see what I've been dealing with?
Large server farms generate a lot of heat, they need to be cooled.
Why there?
I don't know what is in that building but I assure you it's not Social Security numbers.
I have a red flag over here, someone's hacking into Woodlawn.
Tracking IP on the server now... Frederick Kaludis.
- Let's take a look at him. - Fat bastard!
McClane. Where is his daughter?
We just got a trace on her cell.
You're gonna love this.
Alright let's get a better look at you.
Freddy, what the hell are you doing, meddling in my network?
McClane? I thought I'd killed you already.
I get that sometimes.
Do you think you can track where he is?
Detective, covering the camera with your hand, doesn't turn off the microphone.
I know that am not as smart as you guys and this computer shit.
But hey, I'm still alive aint I?
I mean you got to be running outta bad guys by now, right?
Gabriel?
Honestly, you can tell me. How's that work?
Is it some kind of service or something? Some kind of 1-800 number, 1-800 henchmen?
I bet you are still on hold waiting :
"Get another dead Asian hooker bitch over here right away?"
But seriously, all that kicking aside, that skinny ninja chick...
she was smoking hot.
Another one of those is gonna be real hard to come by, right?
- You're very impressed with yourself, aren't you? - I have my moments.
Yeah?
Is this one of them?
- Hello? - Yes, Emergency Services calling.
- Oh, thank God. - Can she hear me?
My name is Lucy Gennero, I have been stuck for hours, been trying to call...
- my cell phone’s not working... - Can she hear this?
Lucy, hang up that phone.
Calm down miss. We know exactly where you are.
- Everything will be alright. - Lucy, hang up the phone!
Please, John, I am trying to have a conversation.
we are a bit overloaded tonight, as you may imagine,
but I assure you, we are gonna get you out of there...
even if I have to come down there and get you myself.
Thank you.
In the meantime Mrs Gennero is there anybody we can contact for you?
Yes, my Dad.
His name is John McClane, He's a New York City cop.
We'll find him, just hang in there Miss and we will get to you.
Very soon.
Thank you.
Wow, that's a great girl you got there, can't wait to meet her
What's the matter, cat got your tongue?
Come on John? Make a joke.
Say something funny.
Wait, where are you going?
Hey, hold up. Where are you going? What are you gonna do?
What do you think I'm gonna do?
I'm gonna kill this guy and get my daughter.
- But she can be... - No, listen to me.
It's gonna get messy, You should just stay here.
- I think I... - Hey, I'm doing you a favour.
I wouldn't bet on me, alright?
I'll take it from here. Thanks for the help.
I wouldn't bet on you either, so I guess I'll give you a hand.
OK.
F.B.I. mam, Jersey Field Office.
Mind if I see your ID?
Not at all.
My father is a cop, force of habit.
Your father sounds like a very smart man.
- kid, can you get Bowman? - Err, yeah.
It's completely dead.
Gabriel must have shut down all of the satellite links. Shit!
I'm sorry about Lucy, man.
all of it...
It is my fault you got into this, this wasn't your fight.
You have nothing to be sorry about.
Bastard!
This bitch is a handful.
Are you gonna be alright?
Behave or I will hurt you.
Oh yeah? Let's step outside, just you and me.
We will see who hurts who!
You really are his daughter. Tie her wrists.
Trey! Gabriel wants to see you.
- Is it that time already? - Yes.
I'll be back in one second.
Don't kill me! Please!
We are showing a breach in an external vent.
Go take a look.
Don't be long, we are packing up soon.
Hey, McClane!
Do we have anything resembling a plan or anything?
To find Lucy and kill everybody else.
I mean like a plan, like a way to do that.
Come on.
OK, according to the layout, the chilling towers are kept on the bottom level.
It should be locked.
OK, now it looks like we are getting somewhere.
OK this looks like it controls the cooling system for the mainframe, which...
should be...
If I can just hack in...
and trip the alarm, it might alert Bowman.
Somebody set off the alarms.
Yes, thank you detective. I can hear that.
Find a way to turn it off.
What you got?
We got a problem.
The alarms went off at Woodlawn.
It's got to be him.
and what's, Woodlawn?
It's N.S.A.
A secure facility outside of Baltimore.
It's a failsafe we built after 9/11...
to backup all financial information.
The moment the networks were hit all the financial data...
it automatically began downloading to those servers.
Banks, Wall Street, Corporate Records...
Government funds, all of it.
Basically a backup for the accumulated wealth of America.
All in one location?
- What could Gabriel do with it? - If he could get in he might try...
a transfer of the data to a portable hard drive,
then he can have access to those accounts anywhere.
Syphon of billions for himself.
We would have no way to trace it.
But knowing him, he could erase it all
and send us back to the stone age.
Why the hell wasn't I told about this?
Frankly...
- It's above your pay grade. - My pay grade?
How did Gabriel find out about this when I didn't even know?
He designed it.
It was his program.
He knew that hacking your system last night would trigger the download.
That's brilliant!
You two, geniuses, stay out of my way.
Let me see if I can get a floor plan of this place.
Don't move!
You! Get away from the bag! Now!
OK.
We’ve been waiting for you.
Have you?
I've been waiting for you too.
McClane!
Kid?
Matt? Kid?
Emerson...
We seam to have a problem in one of the cooling towers.
- Tower 7. - Tower 7.
- Find out what's going on. - I will see to it. OK.
Sir?
Get the HR team to stand by. We need to get Woodlawn, now
The roads out, completely blocked. DC's in total gridlock.
Then get us some helicopters.
They have all been pulled by the Pentagon, for search and rescue.
Molina, find me some God damned helicopters immediately.
Look, the Pentagon has jets flying cap over DC.
Have them send one over to Woodlawn and keep on eye on things until we get there.
Let's go!
Where is my daughter?
Russo, check in.
I Think Russo is on his way down to meet your girlfriend, dickhead.
He's on the third floor, the kid...
did you get all that?
That's right.
I am on the third floor, but I'm coming to get ya.
Don't move, pal, I will send a doctor.
Kill this guy and I will give you Mais cut.
OK.
My algorithm.
Please... God.
My Jesus, they are going after the money.
You coming to get me, John? Is that the plan?
Yep, that's my plan.
What makes you think I wont put a bullet in your daughter's head, right now?
Because you are scared of me.
Is that right, you think I am afraid of you?
Cos otherwise she would be dead already.
You need a bargaining chip.
Stop there! Hands up!
If you kill me you'll never get it open.
Move away. Move!
You know John, I feel like we have gotten off on the wrong foot.
And 'cos of that you think I'm the bad guy,
Nothing could be further from the truth, I'm the good guy here.
I told them this could happen if they didn't prepare.
Did I get a thank you? No, I got crucified.
- But they wouldn't listen. - You got their attention now don't you?
That's right.
I am doing the country a favour.
Ha ha, by tearing it apart?
Better me than some outsider,
some religious nut job bent on Armageddon.
Nobody wants to see that happen.
Everything I've broken, can be fixed.
If the country is willing to pay for it.
Ah bullshit! It's always been about the money.
What, I shouldn't get paid for my work?
I'm workin' my ass off here, John.
Just sit tight asshole, I got a cheque for ya.
I can't talk to this guy.
You talk to him, see if you can get him to focus.
Dad?
Hi, baby
Now there only 5 of them.
Hang on, Lucy, I'm coming.
Would somebody, please, kill this son of a bitch.
We have a problem.
There actually no problem here I just got off at the wrong floor.
This is a mess.
Wow, I'm truly impressed, man.
Hacking all the financial data of the whole country would take weeks,
unless you eliminated the congestion.
That's what this Fire Sale is about isn't it?
- It's brilliant. - Yes, it is.
- Please, be quiet. - Asshole.
- Who are you? - Matt Farrell.
Lucy McClane.
I thought your name was Gennero.
Lucy Gennero?
- Not today. - Can you crack the code?
Maybe, if I had enough time.
That is encouraging.
We take them with us.
- Let's go. - Let's go.
Gabriel, the Pentagon just sent an F-35 towards us.
Keep an eye on it.
Pulling the go codes now.
Might wanna start thinking what you want on your headstone, asshole.
Damned, hamster.
There you go!
Be still, spider boy.
That's right!
Seriously, you probably shouldn't antagonise them since they have all the guns.
Listen, will you just take a minute and dig deep for a bigger set of balls...
Because you are going to need them before we are through.
Wow, I know that tone.
It's just weird hearing it from someone with hair.
Sir, E.T.A. 15 minutes.
Fix it.
Why? You are just going to kill me if I fix it, I know that.
Shit!
I'm not gonna do it.
- No no no! Shit. - Robertson is coming really fast.
- I'm sorry, what? - Something is wrong.
Robertson is coming too fast.
It's not Robertson.
That would be my Dad.
Freddy!
This is John McClane. Look I know you can hear me.
This is your frequency, right?
666. Come on pick up the mic, Freddy.
Nobody here by that name, sorry.
Hacker jerk off!
Warlock!
I need you to do whatever it is that you do...
to patch me through to the F.B.I.
To Deputy Director Bowman, you hear me?
Are you serious, you want me to intentionally open up a com...
line to the head of the C.I.A. cyber division? I don't think so.
Freddy, God damn it! They have my daughter!
I can do that, hold on.
Thank you.
This is central, we have a patch for Director Bowman.
Sir, central is trying to reach you.
Go.
- Bowman, it's McClane. - McClane.
Listen to me, Gabriel is on the 695,
headed north, in a haz-mat truck.
Wait, Gabriel has left Woodlawn? We were heading there right now.
Bowman, he's got my daughter.
Listen, this haz-mat truck, it's a government vehicle so it is tracked, right?
Track that down, should take you right to him.
- Gimmie the tag number? - Alright,
Here it comes.
Golf, Tango...
592, November.
Got it. McClane, where is Farrell?
He is with them.
Listen to me, I'm gonna go in there and get Lucy out.
But if something happens to me...
you gotta send in the cavalry, do you hear me?
I mean everybody, don't let that maniac get my daughter, you hear me?
John, don't worry.
I want your word, Bowman.
Yeah, you have it.
Why not?
There's the F-35.
Did you get the go codes?
- Trey! Did you get the go codes? - Yes, I got the go codes.
Can you connect me to the pilot?
Isolating his radio.
Sending him the go codes.
AV-81.
AV-81, this is Marine Airway. ATC.
Gofer, AV-81.
Confirmed terrorist vehicle has been located in your sector. Big-Rig Truck.
- We are in pursuit of a Haz-mat vehicle. - I'm hearing you, ATC.
You are authorised to engage and destroy.
Copy that, AV-81 engaging.
What...
God damn it!
You're shooting the wrong guy!
I don't think Daddy's coming, honey.
Hey! Jackass!
Is that it?
Is that your best shot?
Come on, get out. That way.
We are leaving in 3 minutes.
You have 1.
The rules didn't change man, you're gonna kill me as soon as I unlock it.
- Ah, shit! - Matthew?
Matthew! I really need you to pay attention.
The rules can always change.
- OK OK. - I will shoot in her in 10 seconds.
- Wait, wait. - Nine.
- I can't... - Eight.
I can't...
Oh, God!
OK!
OK OK OK!
Six.
OK, stop stop, I'm doing it.
I'm doing it. Oh, God!
The Feds are heading this way.
Get everything on the plane.
- Dad? - Careful.
Don't worry baby, Everything is going to be alright.
Daddy!
Hold this.
Jesus Christ!
You got her?
You sure?
Nice effort though.
Matthew?
Shit. OK.
I'm doing it, I know.
McClane...
Would you do me a favour?
I know the lights are beginning to dim...
but if you can just hang on for a second...
as soon as Matts finishes, I'm gonna kill him and your daughter
And I would love for you to see that.
God damn it. Mathew?
10 second, OK 10 seconds and you will have all your money.
You can just leave, nobody has to get hurt, OK?
A few seconds. Stay with me, McClane...
- Stay with me. - Dad?
On your tombstone it shall read:
"Always in the wrong place, at the wrong time"
How about: "Yippi-kai-ay, mother fu..."
Daddy?
- Are you OK? - Yeah, I'm fine...
I knew you would come for me.
Of course I would come for you. It's OK.
Freeze!
Hold up, Hold up! He's OK.
Help Daddy up.
I think I'll just stay here for a minute.
Daddy, you are out of your mind.
- What are you talking about? - You shot yourself.
It seemed like a good idea at the time.
Don't tell these guys that I did that, OK?
Is he OK?
Lift your arms up, Now put them down, further.
He might die from shock on the way to the hospital.
Alright.
I'll be right back.
- Hey. - How does it feel to be shot?
Actually it feels great. He gave me...
What's it called? Morfon...? Morphine.
- Well, you got your merit badge now? - Yeah... I don't know what that means.
- Plus, you know, chicks dig scars. - Really?
- Not that one. - what?
- Don't even think about it. - How did you know what I was thinking?
What, did she say something to you? I felt, we had a vibe...
Take it easy, it's just the morphine kicking in.
Besides, after all we've been through,
I'd hate to have to beat you to death.
That would suck.
- Good to go? - Yes, all set.
Take care of yourself I'll see you in the hospital.
Hey. Thanks for saving my daughter's life.
What was I gonna do?
That's what makes you "that" guy.
Yeah.
Did he say anything about me?
Jesus, Lucy!
what? I'm sorry, I'm just asking.
I'm in enough pain already. Hospital...
