All language subtitles for Final Run 1999 DVDRip x264

Cool.

C'mon, give me a
hand with this.

What if your dad sees us?

Don't worry,
he's in the backyard.
Let's go.

Cool.

(PHONE RINGING)

I'll get it.

Hello? Oh, hi, Mom.
Yeah, just about.

You'd think we were packing
the entire house out.

Hey, Kevin, you really going
to do this?

Have to, I've got to beat
my dad's record.

Mom, calm down.
I'm not the first woman in the
world to get pregnant.

No, he doesn't know yet,
that's what this
vacation's for.

I'm going to get him
nice and relaxed

and then I'm going to break
it to him very genlty.

-Break what to me?
-Uh, there's no dinner.

-Hmm.
-Listen, there's a, there's
a lot of packing to do so...

Hi, Gloria.

Oh, it's going to be
a great trip, here she is.

Yeah, listen,
Mom, there's a lot of stuff.

Hmm, yeah, I'll tell you what,
I'll call you when we
get there.

Okay, I love you too.
Bye.

Can we just forget about the
packing and concentrate
on the stuff?

-Oh, no, no, no,
we got to pack.
-Come on.

-Lucky?
-What's for dinner?

-Anything but pizza, I cannot
look at another pizza.
-Okay.

-I'll ask Kevin. Where's he?
-Um, he was inside the house.

Kevin?
Anything but pizza, pal.

Okay, I'm ready.

Kevin!

Kevin!

Oh, no! Kevin, no!

Kevin!

Oh, no, Kevin!

-Are you all right?
Are you ok?
-Yeah!

Are you hurt?

Come on, what were
you thinking? You could have
been seriously hurt.

-Are you sure you're okay?
-Yeah.

What happened?

What happened?
Centrifugal force,
that's what happened.

You had too much speed
and inertia to make a turn
that sharp,

didn't you feel yourself
go air-borne?

-Really, cool.
-Really.

Are you mad?

No, I'm not mad.

I'm just glad you're in
one piece, for our big
trip tomorrow.

-So, you think I beat you?
-What do you mean?

The soapbox.
You said you only went
twenty-five.

I went faster, I beat you,
didn't I?

Yeah, I guess you did.

You beat Lucky Singer's
downhill speed record.

Come on, let's go.

Uh, he's finally asleep.

What was that boy
thinking about?
Did you see that helmet?

-He could have killed himself.
-He's his father's son.

(CHUCKLES)

Look, you know
what he's doing, don't you?

He's competing with me.

He needs your attention
desperately, and,

I'm in the way.

Oh, honey, no, I mean look,
I know it's been difficult.

But think about how difficult
it is for Kevin.

I mean, first the divorce,
and then watching his
mother die.

Oh, honey, I know that.
I know that.
My heart goes out to him.

All I'm saying is,
I don't think he's ever going
to accept me as a parent.

Sure he will.
He just needs some time.

Give him some time.

Lucky, you know,

how we talked about
having a baby?

Yeah.

Not now, you don't mean now?
I mean, now's not the time.

We've got to wait 'till
Kevin's, you know, settled,
and this pain is behind him.

Hey, we will.
We will.

Just not now.

-C'mon, Dad. Can we go see it?
-In a minute. We have to
wait for George Bouchard.

Aw, man, why do we
have to wait for him?

-Well, first of all,
he's got our tickets.
-Free tickets.

I still don't know why he
wouldn't let us pay.

This guy is up to something,
I'm telling you right now.

-You are so suspicious,
he's very generous.
-No, I'm sorry.

Especially now that he's
practically running
the company.

-Connie, Lucky!
-Hey, George.

Wow, look at you.
Aren't you sharp?

Well, it comes from good,
clean corporate living.

And might I say that you
look terrific out of uniform.

Perhaps I should
rephrase that.

-You don't have to,
George, we all get it.
-Oh, come on, Lucky.

You won, I lost,
she married you.

I'll just pine away for the
rest of my life.

-Dad, what's he talking about?
-I'll tell you when we're all
very old men.

Wow. I see that you've been
taking your growing pills
every morning.

Kevin, this is for you.

Hey, look at that.
You are now an official
Americana Engineer.

Thanks, Mr. Bouchard.
Can we go see it now?

Wait, wait, wait, wait.
It's all taken care of.

I told them that the train is
not leaving the station,

until you have personally
inspected the cockpit.

-The cockpit?
-Oh yeah.

Wait until you see it.
Wave of the future.

You give Americana Rail five
years, and it'll wipe out
commuter air service.

Ok, wait a minute here.
Did I hear right?

A year ago, you were the
airline's number two check
pilot and now you're

a dyed-in-the-wool rail man?

Oh, not 'rail'.
Luxury mass transportation.

I mean, we all know that
flying is a hassle.

On Americana Rail,
the trip itself is
a relaxing vacation.

That's why I wanted you to,
personally experience it.

Compliments of Americana Rail.
-So sweet. Thank you.

My pleasure. Relax and enjoy.

Oh, yeah, like the last trip
we took together.

Listen, you two go on ahead.
I'll get our seats, all right?
Can you take my bag?

-Okay.
-Thanks.

Oh, and Lucky,
the pilot's name is
Earl Hobkins.

Pilot?

Come on, let's go.
I'll show you.

Boy, this is going to be
so much fun, I love trains.

Did I ever tell you, my Dad,
um, when I was a little boy,
he got me this train.

Wasn't even electric.

You had to wind the thing up
with a key, but you know,
it was special.

I mean, I was the only kid
on the block who had one.

How long ago was that, Dad?

It was a long time ago.
Before there was dirt,
all right?

Is that what you're
looking for?

-Hey, Kev, look here.
Here it is, the engine, huh?
-Nice.

They've got steel throttles
and valves,

they've got pressure gauges
the size of pizza pans
in here.

-Pizza pans?
-Yeah, wait 'till you see.
The smell of oil and grease,

that's a man's place,
I'm telling ya,
you're going to love it.

Okay.

Hello.

We're looking for
Mr. Hobkins, the engineer.

Well, you found him.
Are you the guys that
Bouchard sent over?

Yeah, I'm Lucky Singer.
This is my son, Kevin.

Ah, nice to meet you.
Call me Earl.

Hey, you like trains, kid?

-Yeah.
-Yeah, come on, over here,
have a seat.

Take a look at the cockpit.

Cockpit, huh? But you know,
this is not what I expected.

I mean, where's all the
gears and the throttles and

the levers and the pulleys,
ya know?

You know, all the good stuff.

Don't need it anymore.

Everything you need to run
my baby is right in there.

-Oh, don't tell me computers?
-What, do you got something
against them?

Oh, nothing personal,

I just don't like the
idea of trusting
a couple of transistors

with the safety of a hundred
and fifty passengers.

Hey, these babies
are foolproof.

Yeah, right.

Come here, let me show
you something.

Here it is.
Computerized train
of the future.

It's electric, Dad.

Oh, it's a diesel, right?

No, your boy is right.

People still call them
diesels, but it's an
electromotive engine.

All the diesel does back
there is power the generators
to make electricity.

This is the control center.
Come in.

Hang on a sec.

This is Grand Royale.
Go ahead, control.

Uh, Grand Royale,
we got a hold for you.

Looks like five
to ten minutes, max.

Copy that, control.
What's the hold?

-Come on.
-This is your lucky day, Earl.

The company's hosting
a congressional fact-finding,

delegation on your
very own train,

and guess what,
they're running late.

Yeah, well, it's a wonder
they're running at all.

Standing by, control.
Ten-four.

I can't believe it.

You've got a global
positioning satellite system
on the train?

It's the same as on
your airplane, nothing but
the best.

But a G.P.S. on a train?
What for?

I mean, on a plane, you need
a reliable navigation system,

but you're hardly going to get
lost on the rails.

Ah, it's just so the desk
jockeys up in control center

can keep track of all the
trains we have out there.

Hey, you guys want something
to drink?

Oh, no thanks.
We'd better get back.
Thanks for the tour.

Not a problem.
Enjoy your trip.

-Goodbye. No.
-Oh, you're not coming?

-I've got an appointment.
-Thanks again, George.

All right. Bye-bye.
Have a good time.

Gee, honey, what'd you do?
Pack your rock collection
in here?

-Come on, Ben, I'll take it.
-No, it's no problem,
I'm fit.

That's not what your
doctor says.

I think I'll get a second
opinion on that.

Excuse me, ma'am,
do I look fit to you?

-Absolutely.
-Thanks.

Ben Hofflund.

Hofflund Insurance.
Life, casualty, homeowners.

"You play, we pay."

Ben, we're on vacation.

You're not acting like this
all the way to San Francisco,
are you?

Just relax
and enjoy the train ride.

Trains, I'd rather fly,
it's a lot quicker.

Excuse me, ma'am?
You like to fly?

Well, that's a trick question,
actually, I'm a pilot.

-Really?
-Oh, well, congratulations.

It's about time they put
a woman in charge.

Maybe planes will start
flying on time now.

You know, statistically, per
passenger mile, airline travel
is still the safest...

Ben, enough.
Leave your work at the office.

-Oh, ok.
-Thanks.

Senator Brumfest,
how are you?
Nice to see you again.

Welcome to Americana Rail.

Sandy Holmestead
My, my, look at you.

Vice President of public
relations.

Well, actually
Senior Vice President.

Oh, yes, we can't forget
the 'senior' part, can we?

You know, I know what it
takes for a woman to get her
stripes these days.

You've come a long way, Sandy.

Hi, how are you?
Armond Brumfest,
nice to see you.

Hey, Kev, listen,
before we get on the train,

look, I know how difficult
it's been the last few months
on you.

And well, on everybody,
but especially on you.

All the changes and
including Connie.

But we're going to be on
this train together, ya know?

And I want you to try to
understand her feelings, too.

Yeah, but she's not my mom.
She tries to act like it,
but she's not.

Hey, hey,
listen we know that.

Nobody knows it better
than Connie, nobody can
replace your mom.

Nobody's trying to.

Connie's very fond of you.
She is.

And we're going to be
together a lot of years.

She doesn't have to be your
mom to be your friend.

Huh?

-Will you give it a chance?
-Yeah, okay.

-Huh? Huh?
-Yeah. Yeah, okay.

All right.

-Hey, it's going to be fun.
-A lot of fun.

I have no doubt that this trip
will clearly demonstrate why

privately owned
and managed passenger

rail transportation is so far
superior to the government run
rail system.

And you believe that this
little railroad of yours can
do all that?

Senator, I promise you,
you're in for the ride
of your life.

Shall we?

Hey, Kev, this is great,
isn't it?

Really nice.

Hi, Can I help you, sir?

Oh,
I'm just looking for my wife.

Oh, she's probably up
in the main salon.

I'm sorry, you look
very familiar.
Do I know you?

No, I don't think so.

Let's go.

I guess you've just got
one of those familiar faces.

Yeah, I guess so.

-Hey.
-Hey.

Look at this place, huh?
Is George right, or what?

It's like stepping
back in time.

-I know.
-It's like a Bogart movie.

It's unbelievable.
And it's very luxurious.

I'm telling you,
if we had this on our planes,

the passengers would
never leave.

So, how was the engine?

It was okay.

-Just okay?
-Come on, champ.

I mean,
it was really cool.

I mean,

they hardly need an engineer
up there, It's like one big
computer chip on wheels.

You know what, sweetheart?
Some time you're just going

to have to grasp that
computers are not
a passing fad.

I know that.
I know we need to use them.
But I don't have to like them.

Right, Kev?

Yeah, right, Dad.

(CHUCKLES)

Cut crystals for the
passengers that want service
at their seats.

-And these are for interior
bar service.
-Okay.

Don't worry about it.
You're doing a good job.

A few runs,
you'll be doing it in
your sleep.

Oh, and before I forget,
the kids get plastic.

You'll get flak from some
of the parents, so...

Got it.

Can I get a drink, please?

Oh, I'm sorry, sir.
We don't start serving
until the train gets moving.

Hey, aren't you
Scott Sparkman?

Yeah.

Man, what a tough break,
Sparky.

Boy, I bet you wish you
had a chance to do it
all over again, huh?

Listen, call me when
I can get a drink, okay?

What was that about?

-Nothing.
-Are you somebody famous
or something?

Me?
No.

Then how come everybody seems
to recognize you?

I used to play some football.

-Oh, football player.
-Ex-football player.

Dropped a pass in a big game
on national TV.
I'm going to go get some ice.

-As I was saying...
-Yeah.

No, no, no.

Senator Brumfest,
Sir, what a pleasure.

How are you?
Nice to see you.

Business, pleasure,

Ben Hofflund,
Hofflund Insurance.

Sorry about that.
Here's our dining car,
of course, and bar.

Who's that?

Senator somebody.

This is our beautiful bar.

And this is the private lounge
section, reserved for you
and your guests.

Oh, uh...

Excuse me.

There seems to be a little
bit of a mix up here.

You see, this particular
lounge section is reserved.

And I apologize,
but I'm going to have to ask
you all to move.

Reserved?
What are you talking about,
reserved?

There's no sign
saying reserved.

I'm very sorry for the
inconvenience.

But I represent
Americana Rail,

and I'm afraid I'm going have
to insist that you all move
to other seats.

Have a nice trip.

Oh, here,
let me help you with that.

Thank you.
You've helped enough.

So, make yourself comfortable.

-Can I help you?
-Thank you.

-Oh, can I bother you
for a moment?
-What?

Would you mind holding
my baby?

-I just have to use
the washroom.
-Oh, sure.

Thank you.

Come here.
Oh, my goodness.

-Thanks.
-Sure.

Don't even think about it.

Hi, it's Sandy.

Yep, all tucked in and ready
to roll.

Let's get this show
on the road.

Gotcha.
Sit down, sit back
and enjoy the ride.

We're hitting the turbs.

You're good to go,
Grand Royale.

Earl, I'll take you out
from here.

Copy that, control.

Y'know, Wilson,
this thing almost
drives itself.

I don't doubt that for
a second, my man.

But you know how much
I love this part.

All aboard!

(HONKING)

Kevin, come on,
enough with the game.

Look out the window,
we're going.
Look how nice, huh?

Nice trees, Dad.

I'm glad I didn't have to pay
for these tickets.

We're from the Cantil area,
as well. I have an
insurance company.

I've been the top insurance...

Well, this is my vacation...

(BELLS TOLLING)

Hey, Earl,
what the hell's going
on there, buddy?

Uh, everything's okay.
I'll check it out.

(FIRE ALARM RINGING)

-What was that?
-I don't know.

-You all right?
-Yeah, I'm ok.
What's happening?

I don't know,
but I'm going to find out,
all right?

You stay put.

Is everybody all right?

Are you being helped?

You all right, sir?

-Are you all right?
-Yeah.

What happened?

-I don't know.
-Is everybody all right?

You all right,
sir?

-Is everything ok? Is
everything ok?
-Everything's fine, sir.

Well, what happened?
Did we bump into something...

I think,
I think we're all right now.

Yes, well,

I certainly hope so,
Sandy.

I want you to stop the train.
I've got to get off. Please.

-Oh, please sir.
-I've gotta get off!

Be calm, please.
Be calm.

We're going to be stopping
in Whittier very soon,
all right?

I want you to sit down,
stay calm.

I'll go up front and I'll make
sure everything's all right.
Okay?

Earl, what the hell is going
on up here?

Nothing, a glitch.

A glitch?
Don't tell me a glitch.

I got passengers on the verge
of panic, and some of them
are injured.

And I'm telling you,
everything is fine now, okay?

Now get out of here,
get back to those passengers
and take care of them.

Charlie, everything is okay.

Lucky, what was that?

I don't know.

But something's
definitely wrong.

Ladies and gentlemen,
may I have your
attention please?

This is your conductor
speaking.

You may have noticed
that we have experienced
a mechanical glitch.

But as you can see,
everything is fine now.

Whittier will be our first
stop today.

Any passengers requiring
assistance,

please let one of the train
attendants know.

Thank you.

Some mechanical glitch.

I don't know,
I really think I ought
to check it out.

Lucky, it sounds like they
have everything under control.

Just sit down.

Everything's going to be okay,
isn't it, Dad?

Yeah, son.
Everything's all right.

(ALARM SOUNDS)

Control, this is Grand Royale.

Listen, we've got a problem.

Yeah, copy that, Earl,
I'm already on it.

Mr. Reddick,

what do you think?
Amps are way out of whack.

It's not right.
There's a computer glitch.
Have him try manual hard boot.

-That should clear it up.
-Grand Royale,
this is control.

Hey, Earl, it looks to us like
a small computer glitch,
that's all.

We'd like you to
manually reboot.
Over.

Copy that,
control.

Rebooting.

Ben, are you okay?

I'm fine, I'm fine.

-You want a glass of water
or something?
-I'm fine.

I was just a little shaken,
that's all.

Miss, that was that
was quite a jolt,
did we hit something?

What happened?

It was a little
mechanical thing.

I'm sure the engineer's
got everything under control.

Sorry about the bumpy start.

-Can I get you something
to drink?
-Sure.

Water would be fine.

-Okay.
-Thank you.

Can I get you anything
to drink?

Yeah, hey, give me a double
vodka tonic, will you?

Yes, sir,
I'll take care of that.

How's she doing?

I think we're going to need
some more ice for her head.

I'm going to call ahead
to Whittier, make sure they
have an EMS team standing by.

I think that's a very
good idea, Sandy,

because we're going to be
getting off there, too.

So you'd better make sure
there's some transportation
ready for us.

-But, Senator, you haven't
even seen the rest of the...
-I've seen enough, Sandy.

I've seen quite enough.

You can't really expect me
to support a subsidy for this.

Obviously, this has never
happened to us before.

Surely, you're not going
to judge us on just
one incident.

Incident?
You call this an incident?

Let me tell you something.
Your company,

it's in a whole lot
of trouble.

-Excuse me.
-Excuse me. Yes, Sir.

My name is Singer.
I used to work
with George Bouchard.

-Ah, yes.
-That was quite a bump.

Yes, it certainly was.

How are the passengers
in the other cars?

Well, there's no major
injuries, just a few bumps
and bruises.

And what about the train?

Well, the engineer assures
me that it's just a glitch.

Well, if there's any way
I can be of assistance.

I appreciate that,
Mr. Singer.

You know,
we'll be arriving at Whittier
pretty soon,

perhaps you can help
us out then.

-Thanks.
-Thank you.

Check out the amps,
they're red lining.

The engine should have
shut itself down.

Copy that, Earl.

We're checking it out
from here.
Just hang tight, buddy.

Could it be a cable?

-A loose cable wouldn't
give us a red line.
-Maybe a fuse then?

A good possibility.

Look, I guess we're going
to have to shut the train down
until we figure it out.

That delegation already made
us lose twenty minutes.

-How long 'till the train
pulls into Whittier?
-Eighteen minutes.

-Then we wait.
-Excuse me, Mr. Reddick,
if it's a serious problem,

those eighteen minutes
are going to be crucial.
We should stop the train now.

All right,
brake it and have your pilot
check the master fuse.

Grand Royale, this is control.
We think it's a master fuse,
Earl.

We want you to stop the train
where you are,

go out to the main panel
and check the fuses.

Over.

Copy that, control.
Brake train and check fuses.

Control, this is Grand Royale.

Dynamic brakes
are unresponsive,
repeat,

dynamic brakes
are unresponsive.

The stick is dead, Wilson,
I'm not getting anything
out of her.

Copy that, Earl.

Hold on,
I'll put you on speaker.

Dynamic traction brakes
are not responding.

Earl, this is Eric Reddick.

You're going to have
to use the independent
engine air brakes.

We're going too fast for that.
It could blow the hoses.

I realize that.
So I want you to shut down
the main generators.

Let the traction motors
kick in, then hit the
air brakes.

That's the first thing that
I tried, the genies aren't
responding, either.

This doesn't make sense.

Something's not right there,
Earl.

Do you remember anything odd
when you pulled out?
Anything at all?

No, nothing.
I don't have a clue what's
going on.

Okay, double cherry for you.

-Natural soda for you.
-Thanks.

What's a five letter word
for offspring?

I don't know.
Child.

You still worried?

Well, yeah, I'm still worried.
It just doesn't feel right
to me.

I know.
But you talked to the
conductor, right?

Oh, I did.
But that was quite a jolt...

-I'm just going to use
the restroom.
-It's not a plane.

I understand it's not a plane.

(GASPS)

Ben!
Oh, my God, Ben!

Ben!
Oh, God!

Get something for his head.
Get a jacket...

Ma'am, does your husband
have a heart condition, ma'am?

Oh, my God!
Ben!

Stay with us.
Does he have a heart
condition?

-No!
I don't know...
-What's happening?

I don't know.
You have a doctor on board?

-I'll go look.
-Okay.

-Is there anything I can do?
-His pulse is weak.

Oxygen.
You got portable oxygen?

Right, yeah.

-And blankets
and maybe a pillow.
-Okay.

Is there a doctor on board?

Okay, excuse me.
Could you sit down?

-It's okay.
Could you sit down,
please?

Where's the oxygen?

Coming!

Here, put that on him, okay?

-Okay.
-Here we go.

-Turn it on.
-It's on.

-It's okay.
-He's not responding.

Oh, my God, Ben,
please!

No, no.
I want to stay with him,
please!

All right.

Okay, hang in there, buddy.

Earl, we need you to go out
and check the main fuses.

Yeah.

You guys are right.
It's got to,
it's got to be the mains.

I'll go check them.

Ben, I'm here.

We've got to get him
off this train.

Is he going to be okay?

If he gets help soon,
I think so.

My mom got help.

Excuse me,
is everything all right?

Well, the house phones don't
seem to be working right.

-And we should be slowing
for Whittier right about now.
-We're speeding up.

Yeah, I'm going to find
a phone.

-Sandy. A word with you,
please.
-Sure.

How's he doing?

He's going to be just fine,
as long as we can get him
to a hospital pretty soon.

Well, if there's anything
that we can do,
please let us know.

I appreciate that,
Senator, Thank you.

-Can you excuse me for
a second?
-Sure.

-Sandy?
-Yeah, what's up?

The engineer's not picking up
in the cab.

We're supposed
to be slowing down
for Whittier right now and...

we're not.

Have you been able
to use your telephone in here?

Sure, I just used it.

-Can I borrow it to phone
the control tower?
-Sure.

-Thank you.
Excuse me for a second.
-Sure.

Hi, it's Charlie.

Can you tell me what's
going on down here?

Charlie, this is Wilson
and Eric.

Listen, you've got
an electrical problem
up front.

The computers are down,
and so are the traction
brakes.

And right now,
your speed is increasing,

two miles an hour
every minute.

Earl went out to the panel
to check the fuses

and we can't get a hold
of him.

Earl went out?
That's why he's not picking
up the phone.

Charlie, listen to me,

I need you to go up front
and see what's going on.

Unless I get some
answers here,

my gut tells me we've got
a runaway train.

I understand.
Okay.

-What's wrong?
-Plenty.

Thank you.

Excuse me, excuse me,
aren't we going kind of fast
to be stopping at Whittier?

I'm just checking
that out now, ma'am.

Hey!

It's not good, is it?

No!
It isn't!

I hate it when I'm right.

We're not slowing down?

We'll have to go out
and check those fuses.

I'm coming with you.
Can't permit that, sir,
it's against regulations.

Oh, don't worry.
I won't tell anyone.

No, passengers are not
allowed up there, sir.

Watch your step.

Okay.

I hate tunnels!

Excuse me.

-Why didn't we stop
at Whittier?
-I don't know.

Okay, Kevin, go back to the
booth and wait for me.
I'm going to go up front.

-Me, too.
-No, no, no.

Wait here.
I'll be right back.

No,
I wanna go with you.

Kevin, please, I'm asking you
to wait here for me.

I'm just going to make sure
everything's okay.

I'll keep an eye on him.

Thanks.

Control center,
come in, please.
Can you hear me?

-Anything?
-No, nothing.

I don't think this thing's
working.

-Connie!
-Lucky, what's going on?
What happened?

The main fuse box blew.

The engineer must've been
on the catwalk when
it exploded.

He's gone.

-What?
-I'm trying to get through
to the control center.

But I don't think
it's working.

-So who's running the train?
-Right now, nobody.

-We're a runaway.
-Why can't you?

No, ma'am.
I'm not qualified to run one
of these computerized trains.

Computers.

We've got to get in touch
with George Bouchard.

What about the cell phone?
Does it work out here?

I can try.

It's ringing.

Here.
I've gotta get back
to my passengers.

Excuse me.

Hey, where you going?

What's taking them so long?

Your mom said to stay here.

She's not my mom.
She's sort of my step mom.

Step mom's kind of tough
on you, hey?

No, not really.

-You've got it pretty good.
-Why?

'Cause I didn't get along
with mine.

-Anything new?
-Yes, they found Earl.

He's dead.
This train is officially
a runaway.

Mr. Bouchard,
I've got Lucky Singer
on line one.

I'm going to patch
him through.

Yeah, yeah.
Just get him on the line.

-I'll go back
and check on Kevin.
-Okay.

Be careful.
Be careful.

-Hey, Lucky.
-George.

George,
if I remember correctly,

the last time we went
on a little airplane
trip together,

we relied on computers.

Do you remember
what happened that time,
George?

Yeah, well, don't remind me.

-Now, listen...
-No, you listen.

The next time I see you,
George,

we better not be within
five hundred miles
of a plane, train,

car, bus or anything else
with wheels or wings on it.

Do you hear me?
Now just tell me how
to stop the damn train.

Well, we're working
on a couple of scenarios here.

Well, look,
just give me some numbers,
all right?

Yeah
uh, Amp meter,
dead.

Oil pressure gauge, dead.
Tachometer, dead.

-Manifold pressure...
-Dead.

All right,
I get the picture.
Anything working?

The GPS.
How 'bout that?

A navigational system.

Like this train is going
to get lost in the woods
or something.

Now listen, George,
we've got a critically
ill person on board.

If we can't stop immediately,
we're going to have
to airlift him off.

Um, look

Lucky,
that's not possible.

I want you to put the map
overlay on the GPS.

You see where you are?
You're heading up into
the mountains.

It's windy, it's forested.

There's no way we're going to
get an EMS chopper
in there now.

Mr. Bouchard,
I think we got something.

Your man has to get into
the main generator.

Uh, Lucky,
I think we've got
this figured out.

This better be good, George.

Yeah, just hang tight,
all right?

Okay, gentlemen.

Just take a seat.

Mrs. Hofflund.

-How's he doing?
-I don't know.

His pulse is stronger.
That's encouraging.

It's a good sign.

Look, we have to get Ben
to a hospital.

Why didn't we stop
in Whittier?

-When is this train
going to stop?
-Soon, very soon.

But we have to stop the train.
My husband needs
to get to a hospital.

Look, Mrs. Hofflund,
they're doing everything
they can.

There's something wrong,
isn't there?

I mean,
that's why this train
isn't stopping.

Sandy?

Anyway, as far as I can
make out,
one of the fuses are blown.

That caused a malfunction.

Malfunction?
What kind of malfunction?
What's going on here?

Senator, please.

We're trying not
to scare the other passengers.

Well, I think if there
is a malfunction,

we all have a right
to know about it.

What we know
is we have a problem.

And there's someone
on it right now.

Lucky, you're going to have
to get into the generator
compartment.

Generator compartment.

Lucky, can you hear me?
I want you to go down
the catwalk.

It should be right
in front of you,
on the left.

It's an electrical panel box
with yellow stripes.

Yeah, yeah, right.

You see it?

No, hang on.

It's like the Fourth of July
in here.

Lucky?
Lucky, do you see it?

Yeah, yeah,

Danger High Voltage.
Right here,
black and yellow.

Yeah, that's the one.
Just be careful.

Okay, I'm there.
You want to run this past
me again?

Okay, what we're trying to do
is override the computer
and brake the train.

The braking system
on the train are called
dynamic brakes.

They work by reversing
the polarity of the
electricity to the motors.

Just think of them
like the reverse thrusters
on a plane.

What I want you to do is
manually reverse the
two lead wires,

positive to negative.
Do you see it?

Oh, oh, and Lucky,

when you open the box,
there might be
an electrostatic charge.

Thanks for telling me.

-Do you see the lead wires?
-I see what's left of them.

The lead wires are fused
to the terminals.

The surge must have
melted them.

There's no way to get them off
to reverse them.
Forget this option.

-What's Plan B?
-Fitch?

I wish I had one.

There you go.
Is there anything else
I can get for you ladies?

Scott, Scott,
can I talk to you please
for a minute?

What is it?

I have a situation
I need your help with.

There's been an accident.
Earl, the engineer,
he's gone.

He went out to check the fuses
and he fell off the train.

Fell off the train?

What are we going to do?

Right now,
Mr. Singer is in touch with

George Bouchard at the
control center.

Wait, wait,
why Mr. Singer?

Well, he and Bouchard,
they, they go way back.

They used to be pilots
together or something.

Anyway, the point is,
I need your help
to keep the passengers calm.

All right?
I don't want any panic.

Is it that bad?

I don't know.
I don't know.

Ow!

Oh!

-What happened?
-I hit my head
on the fuel line.

Hey, George,
if we can't kill this beast,

why can't we starve
it to death?

You know what, Lucky,
that's worth a try.

But it's not going to be as
easy as you think.

You're going to have
to go into the turbine area,
under the grate.

Eight miles from Granite Peak.

-He's never going to make it.
-Well, he can try.

All right,
what's it look like?

The shut-off valve
has a red handle.

-Do you see it?
-Yeah, I got it.

Now be very careful
because there are a lot
of other handles in that area.

-(HISSING)
-Ah! Ow!

-Are you okay?
-No, I'm blind.

-Did you find the valve?
-Well, there's two red valves.

It's the one with the long,
thin handle.

Why didn't you tell me?

-(SCREECHING)
-(HISSING)

Got it. Got it.

(HORN BLOWING)

Nothing's happening.
Sounds the same,
feels the same.

No, no, no. It's happening.
It just doesn't happen

as quickly as on
a car or a plane.

Listen, Lucky,
what I want you to do
is go back to the cab

-and check your GPS.
-Fine.

(ELECTRICAL BUZZING)

Lucky, one-two,
one-two, one-two.

Lucky, can you hear me?
Can you hear me?

George, I can hear you
through the system.
It's working all of a sudden.

-Go ahead.
-All right,

this is what the situation is,
Lucky.

-You mean there's more?
-Yeah, I'm afraid so.

Lucky,
trains are all about momentum.

Momentum to get going,
momentum to try to stop.

A train your size normally
takes a couple of miles
to come to a complete stop.

Will you get to the point,
George?

Even with the fuel valve
shut off,

there's still enough fuel
in the line

to keep the diesels pumping
for another couple of miles.

And then with the brakes
not working,

maybe four or five miles
to come to a stop.

Listen, let me see that.

I want you to check your GPS.

-You see where you are?
-Yeah,

we're going south-southeast,
a 192 degrees.

Looks like maybe seven,
eight miles to a hairpin turn,
where it heads back north.

Yeah, well,

that curve
is called Granite Peak.

You're on an incline
up to the top of that peak.

That's going to help us
momentum-wise.

If the train
loses enough speed,

it's not going to be able
to make the turn
and it's going to stop.

But if it makes the turn,

it's going to be like being
on the top
of a roller coaster.

It's going to gain enough
speed going downhill,

and it's not going to be able
to stay on the tracks.

It's going to fly.

Two hundred passengers
back there.

You're telling me
this train is going to
leave the tracks?

Not if it stops.

But what if it doesn't,
George?

George, we're not
at 35,000 feet.
We're on the ground.

There's got to be a way
to evacuate
these passengers back there.

Wait a second.

Wait a second. Those cars,
they're not broken,
it's the engine.

Right?
Why can't we uncouple them?

Don't they have
an independent braking system?

Yeah, well,
we thought about that,
but there's a problem.

-Don't tell me. Momentum.
-Yeah, and weight.

It can't be done
unless the train is
traveling on level ground.

Otherwise all the weight

is pulling back
on the first coupler,

-or pushing forward
on the first coupler.
-Look,

this turn before Granite Peak,
it puts them on level ground
for about a mile.

But depending on his speed,
he's only got
about 45 seconds to a minute

to pull the front coupler.
That's it.

-You hear that, Lucky?
-I hear.
So how much time do I have?

Five minutes.

It's all yours, Lucky.
You're in charge.

You're the man.
Make it happen.

Ladies and gentlemen,
this is Lucky Singer.

I've been authorized
by the Americana Rail
Control Center

to inform you that we plan to
uncouple the passenger cars
from the engine.

Please don't be alarmed.

Each passenger car is equipped
with an independent
braking system.

Now when we separate,
you'll hear
a loud popping sound.

-That's the pneumatic hoses
separating.
-Scott, good luck.

-Please stay calm
and in your seats.
-Thanks.

Brace yourself
the best you can.

The cars
will be stopping quickly.
So be prepared.

C'mon, slow down, baby.
Slow down.

Kevin! Kevin!

Stay back here!
The crest is only a mile away!

-I don't think she's going to
slow down in time.
-We still have two minutes.

I don't think she's going to
stop in time!

Scott, you're going to have
to help me uncouple the cars.

-I'm ready when you are.
-Let's do it.

Get these doors.

We're on the flat!
It's not stopping!

We've got less than a minute!

-You see those handles there?
-Yeah.

They've gotta come up and out,
simultaneously,

and these knuckles
have gotta open! But hang on.

There's going to be
a hell of a jolt
when the brakes kick in.

-All right. Let's go.
-Got it.

-Lucky, be careful.
-Don't...don't say it.

Hey, Kev, it's going to be ok.

-Okay?
-Yeah.

On the count of three!

One, two, three!

(GRUNTS)

(BOTH GRUNT)

(GRUNTS)

-Let's try it again.
-All right.

One, two, three!

(BOTH GRUNT)

(GRUNTS)

(BOTH GRUNT)

-It's jammed!
-(GRUNTS)

-It's no good! Try again!
-Yeah.

-One, two, three!
-(BOTH GRUNT)

(BOTH GRUNT)

(BOTH GRUNT)

(LUCKY SHRIEKS)

-Dad!
-Lucky!

He fell off!
You've got to stop it!
You've got to stop the train!

Mrs. Singer,
we can't stop the train!

-Ah!
-Now, we've got to call
someone to help your husband.

Mrs. Singer, they'll be able
to find him and they'll be
able to get him.

But we'll have
to call someone
and them know where he is.

All right. You're right!

You're right.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

-Kevin, come with me.
-No!

I hate you!
It's all your fault!

-You made us do this!
-Stop it!

-You made us
get on this train!
-Stop it, calm down! Stop it!

Stop it and calm down!
Listen to me!

You have to trust me.

I love him as much as you do.

Now you're going to come with
me and we're going to call for
help for your dad.

All right?
This is where you
have to be strong, Kevin.

We both do.

(GRUNTS)

Ahhh!

This is Connie Singer.
Who's on?

Connie, this is George.

We saw the GPS,
the train's still moving.
What the hell's going on?

It didn't uncouple,
the cars are still attached
to the engine.

Do you hear me?
It didn't work.

Lucky fell off the train.

What?

(DIALING)

The subscriber you are trying
to reach,

-has traveled...
-The subscriber
has traveled outside.

please try again later.

George,
I've got his exact position.

You've got to send in
a rescue chopper right now.

Look...look, Connie,
I can't do that.

I mean, it's mountains.
It's forest stuff there.

Search and rescue's just going
to have to go in on foot.

No, that's not good enough.
He may be severely injured,
George.

-That's not an option.
-Look,

Connie, there's nothing
I can do.

I don't want to be cold
about this, but I've got
200 people on that train

and unless I figure out a way
to stop it.

Wait a minute.
Patch me through
to Frank O'Hearn.

Lieutenant Colonel
Frank O'Hearn.

Connie, I know
he's Lucky's best friend,
but really.

Patch me through, George!

Fitch, patch her through.

-O'Hearn. Lieutenant Colonel
Frank O'Hearn.
-Mr. Bouchard.

You tell him
it's an emergency.

-You tell him
I'm going to wait on the line.
-Mr. Bouchard,

you better take a look
at the monitor.

I'm not going to like this,
am I?

If the calculations are right,

accelerating at this rate
without brakes,

this train's going to be
like a rocket
when it hits the S-curve.

The tracks aren't going to be
able to support
that speed, right?

Theoretically, no.
But that's not even
the major problem.

I mean, let's say,
by some miracle,

it even
makes it through
the first part of the S-curve,

with all the momentum
it's building,

it's going to slingshot
into the second part of the S

-and fly off the tracks
right here.
-What's that building?

That, sir, is the problem.

That structure
is Mercy View Hospital.

The second largest hospital
in the county.

-How long?
-42 minutes.

-Sir?
-Hello?

-Hello?
-Frank?

Hey, George,
you caught me doing
a little freelance.

Heard you got grounded
and you're playing
with choo-choos now, huh?

Uh, yeah, well,
not exactly.

Frank. Uh, listen,
I'm going to patch you through
to Connie Singer.

Connie, I've got Frank
on the other line.

Frank? Oh,

thank God they found you.

Hey, Connie.
How ya doin'?

-Lucky's in trouble.
-Yeah, well,
what else is new?

No, I mean trouble, Frank.

We're on an Americana Rail

train. We're...
we're a runaway.

Lucky was trying to uncouple
the passenger cars,

he fell off. We're, uh,
we're in the mountains.

A 170 miles south of Seattle.

And Frank, we've got
a Congressional delegation
on board, including Senator

-Grundfest.
-I'll be in the air
in 45 seconds.

I'll radio you
for his position.

Frank O'Hearn's sending
for help for your dad.

-He'll find him.
He'll pick him up.
-What if they don't?

-What if they can't?
-Kev, we've gotta keep
our hopes up.

-Yeah, I've heard that before.
-He'll find him.

He'll find him.

Scott, you're here.
I've been looking for you.
I need your help back there.

You don't need my help.

-What are you talking about?
-I took too long.

We were supposed to pull
the handles at the same time.

-Maybe I could have...
-It's not your fault.
It was an accident.

-What else could
you have done?
-Something more.

-I guess I never come through
when it really counts.
-Listen to me.

This isn't about some
stupid game or dropping a ball
on television.

This is about 200 people
who need our help.

So you can stay here
and feel sorry for yourself
or you can come with me.

(PANTS)

(PANTS)

(BLEEPING)

George, we've just cleared
the first turn,
starting to head down.

I can already feel
we're picking up some speed.

- Any word from Frank?
-O'HEARN: Connie,

we're about four minutes away
from his position.
You just hang on.

O'HEARN: I'll let you know
as soon as we've got him.

(PANTS)

(LUCKY PANTS)

Oh, this is going to hurt.

(GRUNTS)

Ah!

Ah.

(GRUNTS)

Options, George,
we need viable options.

GEORGE: We're working on it,
Connie. We are working on it.

All right, Connie,
we're over the tracks now
and we're about

20 seconds away
from his position.

I'll let you know
as soon as we sight him.

(PANTS)

-This train going
to San Francisco?
-Dad!

-So good to see you guys!
-Oh!

-Are you okay?
-I'm okay.

I feel like I fell off
a train.

-Where do you hurt?
-Oh, where don't I hurt?

I was so worried,
I couldn't think straight.

All I was thinking is that
I'd never get a chance
to tell you about the baby.

-Baby?
-Our baby.

There was so much going on
at home,

-that I never found
the right time to...
-Baby?

Oh, honey. Oh, God!
A baby?

You hear that, Kev?

You're going to have a brother
and a sister, maybe, huh?

-That's cool.
-Yeah, that's cool. It's cool.

(BOTH LAUGH)

O'HEARN: Connie, are you sure
about that position?

I mean, we've got no sign
of him here!

-Is that Frank?
-Yeah.

Connie? Are you there?

She's busy right now.

O'HEARN: Lucky? Is that you?

What the hell are you doing?

God, Lucky,
how the hell'd you get back
on the train?

You can't get rid of me
that easily.
I decided to hop back on.

(LAUGHS)

Meanwhile,
this train is going faster
by the second.

How do we stop it?

Oh, listen,
we're working on it.

George?

I'm goin to take you off line
for a second, Lucky.

We're in contact
with emergency services
in Farmington.

They are starting evacuation
of the Mercy View Hospital.

We're talking about
a thousand people, George.

There's no way on earth
to get them on safe ground
in the next half an hour.

What are we overlooking?
I mean, there's got to be
a way to stop this train.

Derail it.

(WHISPERS)
There are 200 people
on that train!

There are a thousand
in the hospital.

There's got to be another way.

Even if you wanted to,

there's not enough time
to get a crew in there
for a controlled derailment.

At this speed,
there's no such thing
as a controlled derailment.

But there's a switcher,
right here in Farmington.

We could steer them off
the main track
and into this quarry.

Do you realize
what you're saying?

Do you have any idea
what's going to happen
when those cars hit the rocks?

You're asking me to choose
between a thousand people
and 200 people.

I've got friends
on that train.

You don't have a choice,
George.

Get a man to the switcher.

-Have him standing by.
-How do you want to prepare
the people on the train?

You are going to tell them,
aren't you?

POLICEMAN: All right,
get over there.

-Keep those pests right
where they are.
-(SIREN WAILS)

REPORTER: And authorities
at the NTSB

have, in fact, confirmed
that the Americana Railway
Grande Royale luxury train

is officially a runaway.

If the NTSB's predictions
and calculations are right,
that train

is expected
to jump the tracks
here in Farmington,

not more than a hundred yards

-from where I'm standing
right now.
-(SIREN WAILING)

As you can see behind me,

there is a full scale
evacuation of Mercy View
Hospital in progress,

in hopes of getting everyone
out before the Grand Royale
enters the S-curve,

where it is certain to derail.

Hospital officials
are declining comment

when asked, if, in fact,
they will be able to evacuate
in time.

However, local authorities
have told this reporter that
that is very unlikely.

And that they are planning
for the worst.

-Turn it off. I don't want to
hear it anymore.
-Live for Channel...

ADMINISTRATOR:
You don't understand,

in addition to
all my non-ambulatory,

I've got a half dozen critical
in post-op.

Now three of them are
on ventilators.

We're in the middle
of two major operations.

I've got two women minutes
away from delivering.

Now there is no way I can have
even half this place evacuated
in half an hour.

Look, I'm in constant contact
with the railroad.

They're going to try and
stop it at Farmington.

But until I know it's stopped,

we're getting everybody,
and I mean everybody,
out of here.

-(GASPS)
-Ben?

Oh, Ben.
Ben, I'm here, honey.

-Honey,
want me to take it off?
-(GASPS)

Mr. Hofflund, how you doing?

-SCOTT: This is definitely
a good sign.
-MRS. HOFFLUND: It's great.

Scott, Scott,
he's back on the train.

-What are you talking about?
-Mr. Singer,
he's back on the train.

How?
I don't know how,

but he's in communication
with the control center
right now.

-That's great. (LAUGHS)
-Yeah.

I've got the one critical
that needs to be airlifted
immediately.

O'HEARN:
That I cannot do, pal.
I'm not equipped.

Hey, Bouchard, send in
the Mercy View medivac!

Tell them
we'll transport there.

Uh, no.
That's not going to work.

Why not?
It's the closest facility.

GEORGE: We've asked
for a precautionary evacuation
of Mercy View.

Why? Why are you evacuating?

It's just precautionary.

George,
what aren't you telling me?

Bouchard, lay it out.

All right, Lucky,
here it is.

Unless we stop you,

there's no question
that the train
is leaving the tracks.

-What?
-It's going to go airborne

on the second loop
of the S-curve,
next to the hospital.

What do you mean,
when you...
when you stop us?

How are you going to stop us?

The only way we can.

We're going to have
to derail you.

What? Where? When?

At Farmington.
We've got a switcher there.

George, do you realize
what you're saying?

You've got 200 passengers
back there!
You can't do that!

Yeah, and I've got a thousand
in the hospital. I mean,

what's my choice here,
Lucky? Give me a better choice
and I'll take it.

CONNIE:
I'm guessing 25 minutes.

LUCKY: 25 minutes?
Frank? Frank,
you there?

You've got 25 minutes
to evacuate everyone off
this train.

O'HEARN:
That's not possible, pal.

After your critical,
you've got time

for maybe
a dozen more on. Tops.

Then we've got to figure out
a way

to separate the passenger cars
from the engine.

GEORGE: Lucky,
that's not going to work.
You're going downhill.

Even if you were able
to uncouple,

the car's brakes
are not going to hold.

The cars are just going to
follow you downhill.

25 years, George,
I've been driving the big bus.

I've not lost a passenger,
not one.

I don't plan to start now.

And those people back there
are my passengers now.
Do you hear me?

But, Frank, how much weight
will a CH54 handle?

About 60 tons, Lucky. But...

-that's not going to. ..
-Look, it's all we've got.

I want you to get
a CH54 Sky Crane here
as soon as you can.

And bring me some SP-20.
Will you do that?

Enough to blow up
the engine coupler.

It's not going to work,
Lucky. You're going downhill.

George, unless you've got
some other idea,
it's a plan, okay?

Maybe it works,
maybe it doesn't.

But if we don't try it,
we're gonna
have triple figure casualties.

And that's not going to happen
on my watch,
do you hear me?

Yeah. I hear you.

All right.

Frank,

send me some extra SP-20.

A lot extra.

Lucky, I don't know
what you're planning,
but it sounds crazy to me.

Yeah, crazy.

Time to try something crazy.

It's all right.
It'll be all right.

CH54 PILOT:
Lieutenant Colonel O'Hearn,
we're in position.

I'm ready
to lower the package. Over.

O'HEARN: Okay, Lucky,
he's ready to lower

the SP20 explosives
and the detonators.

Copy that. We're ready.

Ladies and gentlemen,
may I have your attention,
please?

I'd like everybody to move
to the forward cabin.
Thank you, right now.

Calmly. Stay calm.
Everything's under control.

Thank you very much.

Okay, Scott.
It's in your hands.

-Yeah, that's
what's worrying me.
-It's okay. You can do it.

(SHRIEKS)

(GRUNTS)

Lower! Lower!

Whoa!

(GRUNTS)

Yeah!

(PANTS)

-(PANTS)
-Good job.

-You okay?
-Yeah, better than okay.

-All right.
-Let's do this.

Let's go.

Kevin, stay here with April
and Scott.

No! No, I want to go!

Kevin, please, listen to me.

-I need you to stay here,
okay?
-No!

What...
what if something happens?
I want to go!

-It's okay.
-Nothing's going to happen.
I promise you.

Just stay here
and do what April tells you.

(GRUNTS)

-What's happening,
you have to tell us.
-Please, Miss

you've got to sit down,
please.

Charlie, listen to me.
You've gotta get
these people seated.

Now when I blow the coupler,
the air brakes on the cars
are going to come on.

Now we'll try to get the cable
from the helicopter
attached to the rear coupler.

We're going to try to keep
these cars from chasing
the engine down the hill.

I'll do everything I can.
Mr. Singer, good luck.

-CONNIE: Frank? Yeah...
-All right, everybody,
everybody,

please move
to the front of the car

-right away.
-LUCKY: Frank, I've got
the package.

I'm heading to the engine
right now.

Well, you'd better hurry up,
buddy. You're running
out of time.

He's not going to make it.
There's not enough time.

-You have to derail it.
-I know. I know.

-I'm Senator Grundfest,
and I demand...
-I know who you are, Senator.

But I can't talk to you
right now.
So if you'll excuse me.

I'm afraid that
that just won't do.

Our delegation
is set to be air-lifted off
this train right now!

-I can't do that, Senator.
Now excuse me.
-You just listen to me.

There is a military helicopter
out there and we are
government officials.

So don't you tell me
you can't do it!

Senator, you're scaring
these people.

And I know
you don't want to do that.

Now I'm going to just tell you
one more time to sit down
and shut up.

Or I will throw
your bureaucratic ass
right off this train.

It will not be a pretty sight,
do you understand me?

Oh, yes, yes.
Of course I do.

-I mean, we should
all work together on this.
-Yes, that's a good idea.

Get...get those people away
from the windows
and into their seats. Now!

We'll get right on it.

-How much time do we have?
-Not enough.

CONNIE: We need more time,
George.

GEORGE: Look,
there's no more time, Connie.
I can't manufacture it.

You're going to be
at the switcher
in about two minutes.

-Get back in the car
and brace yourself.
-He can do it, George!

He's almost got it!

O'HEARN: Connie, tell Lucky

the cable still
isn't fastened. He's having
some kind of problem.

Please, George,
we just need
a few more minutes!

April, come here,
I need a hand!

Kevin, no!

Hey, you've got to let him go!
I need your help!

(SCOTT GRUNTS)

Ladies and gentlemen,
this car is going to come
to a sudden stop.

If you're sitting down,
you won't get hurt. Please.

(SCOTT GRUNTS)

If everybody's sitting down,
you won't get hurt.

The explosives are set.
Frank, how you coming
with that cable?

He's got a woman working with
him. Hold on.

(GRUNTS)

Okay! Thumbs up!
Thumbs up! Cable is fastened.

George, we're set!
We're ready!

60 seconds, Lucky.
You've run out of time.

George,
turn the switcher back.

George,

please,
for the love of God,
don't kill these people!

We've got 200 people
on this train!

I can save these people,
George!

Turn it back!

200 people versus a thousand?

Two hundred versus,
who knows how many, five?
Maybe none?

Switch the track, George!

Captain Singer has done
everything he said he would.

If you switch it back,
those people,

at least they have
a chance of surviving.

Switcher's dead ahead,
Lucky.

Switch it back.

-What?
-I said switch it back!

This is Fitch.
Switch it back. Now!

GEORGE: Okay, Lucky,
it's done.

Thanks, George.

I'm setting the detonator.

GEORGE: Lucky,
you've got to get off
of there now.

There's nothing more
you can do. Just get off.

Do you hear me, Lucky?
Do you hear me?

-What are you doing? What?
-You go.
I'm staying with the engine.

Connie, I've got
to try to stop it
before it hits the hospital.

No. No! No!

-I'm staying with you!
-No, Connie, go!

-You have to stay with Kevin.
-Kevin will be fine, Lucky.
He'll be fine.

-I am not leaving...
-Look, listen to me!

-I will find a way to get on.
-Dad!

-Kevin, what are you
doing here?
-I'm not leaving you!

CONNIE:
Kevin, we've got to go!

KEVIN: I'm staying with you!
No!
CONNIE: We've got to go!

CONNIE: Kevin!
-You go with Connie,
do you hear me? You go!

CONNIE: We've got to go!

-I'll be back, I promise!
I'll be back!
-Dad! No!

(SCREECHING)

(BLEEPING)

(BLEEPING)

(GRUNTS)

(ALL SHRIEK)

-(HISSING)
-(SCREECHING)

O'HEARN:
It's uncoupled!

Hang on!

(SCREECHING)

(ALL SHRIEKING)

(SCREECHING)

It's not going to hold!

(ALL SHRIEKING)

(SHRIEKING)

(ALL GASP)

(ALL CHEER)

-We stopped. That's it?
-Yeah. Yeah.

-Honey, we stopped!
-Yeah.

-You all right?
-(GRUNTS) Yeah.

O'HEARN: Bouchard, we got it!
Train has stopped on
a double-track siding.

Looks like everybody's safe
and sound!

(ALL CHEER)

(ALL LAUGH)

Are you okay?

We stopped and you're
going to be just fine.

We'll get you to a hospital
and they'll look after you.

What about Dad?

He's going to be all right.
I know it.

It's not over yet.

Without the weight
of the cars,
the engine's speeding up.

It's going to hit
the S-curve in exactly
two and a half minutes.

(SIREN WAILING)

FIRE CAPTAIN:
Let's get these cars
out of here!

Get in all back here!

Come on,
get these cars out of here!

Now! Come here.

I want you to go down
to the front entrance

and unblock the traffic,
whatever it is.
Block up the main road.

I don't care.
We've gotta get
these people out of here!

George, there's got to
be a way.

Something we haven't
thought of.

We've tried everything.

-What's happening
at the hospital?
-Full evacuation.

But there's still
hundreds there.

The hospital's
about three minutes away.

(TRAIN HORN BLARING)

Frank,

LUCKY: can you see
the S-curve?

It's about a minute
and a half away, Lucky.

What's at the first loop
of the S?

It's a gorge.
It's about 250 feet deep.

Is there any chance
we could go off there
instead of at the hospital?

REDDICK: No. You don't have
enough speed.

You're going off at

the second loop,
near the hospital.

Right, our old friend,
centrifugal force.

I was just talking to Kevin
about it yesterday.

He took my old soapbox racer
and...

(SCREECHING)

-Lucky?
-George,

-have we been thinking
about this backwards?
-What do you mean?

Is there any chance,
instead of slowing the train
down, what if we sped up?

Well, you're in a free fall,
Lucky, how are you going to
gain speed?

We turn the diesels back on.
Pump some juice
into the traction motors.

That might work.
But he's going to need about

twelve more miles per hour
to...to jump the tracks
at the first loop.

GEORGE: Lucky,
go ahead and try it.
But what about you?

(GASPS)

George, what's your reading?

GEORGE:
I see some acceleration.

Not enough. He's never going
to make it.

He'll make it. He has to.

FITCH: Come on.
Come on, Lucky.

-LUCKY: How much time
until the first curve?
-72 seconds!

Okay, I'm going to blow up
the engine.

I'm not taking a chance
that I don't make that turn
and hit the hospital.

GEORGE: Lucky,
you're picking up speed!
Go ahead.

Blow the engine
and get off the train.

Do you hear me?
Get off the train.

That's my plan, buddy.

O'HEARN: Lucky,
I'm going over you!
LUCKY: Stay there! I'm coming!

(BLEEPING)

-Reboot this!
-(BLEEPING)

Lucky, this engine's
picking up speed.

You gotta get out of there!

Come on, Lucky! Come on!

(BLEEPING)

Come on, Lucky!
Grab it! Grab the skid!

(GRUNTS)

(BLEEPING)

Everybody okay here?
Any injuries at all?

FITCH: Come on!

Come on, Lucky, grab it!
Grab the skid!

(BLEEPING)

-Come on, Lucky, move it!
You've got about ten seconds
to get your butt up here!

-(GRUNTS)
-Okay, buddy.

Hang on,
you're going for a ride!

(SCREECHING)

(BLEEPS)

(BLEEPING)

O'HEARN: Okay, Bouchard,
I got Lucky off.
He's hanging onto the skid.

But your locomotive,
it's swimming with the fishes.

-All right!
-(ALL CHEER)

Call Mercy View.
Tell them they're safe.
All's clear.

-All right!
-(GEORGE LAUGHS)

-Why, they don't call him
Lucky for nothing, huh?
-(ALL CHEER)

SANDY: Right this way.
Keep moving forward.

I'm going to have
a full investigation of this.

Armond Grundfest,
nice to see you.

I'm going to find out exactly
what put these people...

(HELICOPTER WHIRRING)

-Thanks, buddy! All right.
-Any time!

It's okay.

-It's okay.
-Oh.

It's okay. It's all right.

(LUCKY LAUGHS)

-You okay?
-Yeah.

(LAUGHS)

Hey, Kev,

how many brothers and sisters
do you want to have?

As many as you and Mom
will have.

Thanks, Kevin.

Coming from you,
that means a lot.

Okay, guys, let's get
the medical team together.

I'll come up. Get 'em in.

So, what do you say
we, uh, walk home from here,
huh?

CONNIE: Sounds so good to me.
(LAUGHS)
