Die Hard 1988 - Bruce Willis - Mayday, Mayday! Anyone! Terrorists have seized Nakatomi building
Video from Mr. Mo_Man In The Saddle😃 ELLIS: What's happening? HOLLY: They don't look happy...something's gone wrong. ELLIS: The police...? HOLLY: (shaking her head) John. ELLIS: John? Christ, he could f*** this whole thing up...what does he think he's doing? HOLLY: How about his job? ELLIS: His 'job' is 3000 miles away. Without him, they might let us go...at least we have a chance... HOLLY: (quietly) Tell that to Mr. Takagi. MCCLANE: Mayday, Mayday! Anyone! Terrorists have seized and Nakatomi building and are holding 30 or more hostages! I say again -- MCCLANE'S VOICE -- unknown number of terrorists, six or more, armed with automatic weapons at Nakatomi, Century City... Somebody answer me, Goddammit! HANS: The roof. It's the best place to transmit. They move. 99 INT. LOS ANGLES EMERGENCY DISPATCH CENTER - SAME 99 A SUPERVISOR weaves her way back from the break room toward a DISPATCHER who is monitoring the call. DISPATCHER: It's the same address as that fire signal -- * SUPERVISOR: (frowning) -- the false alarm? I'll handle * it. She plugs in her headset. (Her condescending, arrogant tone is like the one in the famous tape where the dispatch lady spends so much time on red tape that the patient dies.) SUPERVISOR: (into mike) " Attention, whoever you are. This channel is reserved for emergency calls only" MCCLANE'S VOICE NO F***IN' SH*T, LADY! DO I SOUND LIKE I'M ORDERIN' A PIZZA?! KARL: No one kills him but me. It's an order and the look he gives the other two backs it up. Karl checks his magazine, SLAPS it into his rifle as the elevator opens to the roof. 102 EXT. UPPER ROOF 102 McClane moves around the roof, circling the helipad, making sure he has a good enough view to avoid being ambushed. He can't see in all directions at once but he's doing the best he can. MCCLANE: They've already killed one hostage, and they're fortifying their positions while we're bullshitting! Now, send police backup ASAP! SUPERVISOR'S VOICE Sir, I've already told you, this is a reserved channel. If this is an emergency call, dial 911 on your telephone. Otherwise I will report you to the police -- MCCLANE: (to the radio) -- fine! Report me! Hey, come the f*** down here and arrest me! Send the police. NOW -- ! Suddenly machine gun shells rip into the concrete wall in front of him. The noise is deadening as we: CUT TO: Both Supervisor and Dispatcher reach for their headsets in pain from the INTENSE SOUND and: The Dispatcher looks critically at the Supervisor in the sudden silence. SUPERVISOR: (importantly) Ad...have a black-and-white do a drive-by. DISPATCHER'S VOICE/RADIO Dispatch to One Adam Ten, over. POWELL: One Adam Ten, go ahead. DISPATCHER'S VOICE/RADIO Investigate a code two at Nakatomi Plaza, Century City. POWELL: (thinking) Nakatomi Plaza? He moves to the door, steps outside. EXT. CONVENIENCE STORE Powell looks towards the horizon and up. There it is, Nakatomi, in all its gleaming glory. DISPATCH VOICE: One Adam Ten, do you copy? Powell is already moving to the car. He tosses in the Twinkies, hops behind the wheel. POWELL: (into police radio) Roger, dispatch. I'm on the way. And he BURNS RUBBER leaving the store:
