01 Escape From New York - Sci-Fi 1981 English

[FEMALE NARRATOR READING]

[FEMALE NARRATOR] The
once-great city of New York

becomes the one
maximum-security prison

for the entire country.

A 50-foot containment wall is
erected along the New Jersey shoreline,

across the Harlem River and
down along the Brooklyn shoreline.

It completely
surrounds Manhattan Island.

All bridges and
waterways are mined.

The United States Police Force, like
an army, is encamped around the island.

There are no guards inside the prison, only
prisoners and the worlds they have made.

The rules are simple.

Once you go in,
you don't come out.

[MAN ON RADIO] This is
Gotham 4, north bay, station 17.

I have an escape in progress, object
in mid-bay moving toward the wall.

[RADIO DISCONNECTS]

[CAR ENGINE STARTING]

[HELICOPTER APPROACHING]

[MAN ON LOUDSPEAKER]
You have 10 seconds.

Turn around.
Start back to the island.

[BEEPING]

Gotham 4, confirm the kill.

[MAN ON RADIO]
Circle to base, over.

Security, this is Rehme, we
have confirmation from Gotham 4.

We have a kill at mid-harbor south
of the Battery. Two in the water dead.

[MAN ON RADIO] Two confirmed.

Very well.

[HELICOPTER HOVERING]

Air traffic, this is Rehme.

[WOMAN OVER PA] Attention, you
are now entering the debarkation area.

No talking, no smoking. Follow the
orange line to the processing area.

The next scheduled departure
to the prison is in two hours.

You now have
the option to terminate

and be cremated on the premises.

If you elect this option, notify the
duty sergeant in your processing area.

[MAN] Hold it.

We got a small jet in trouble
over restricted airspace.

Where is it?

Seven miles out and closing.

Been on the horn for
the past 20 minutes.

We haven't been
able to reach him.

There was a transmission
10 minutes ago.

He identified as David 14, then
all of a sudden he was cut off.

David 14, acknowledge.

David 14,
I'm calling air rescue.

Squawk 7700,
contact on 121.5.

There's still no reply.

Bayonne, I have a mayday
in restricted space.

[MAN ON RADIO]
New York, I have him.

Who is he?

I don't know.

You have the code?

There's no David
14 on the computer.

Unlisted?
Unregistered code.

We telexed Washington.

Still waiting for a reply.

I think I got him, sir.

[WOMAN ON RADIO]
It's too late, assholes.

All your imperialist weapons
and lies can't save him now.

We're going down.
We're going to crash!

[RADIO OPERATOR]
David 14, acknowledge.

Codes coming in, sir.

[BUZZING]

Tell this to the workers when
they ask where your leader went.

We, the soldiers of the National
Liberation Front of America,

in the name of
the workers and all

the oppressed of
this imperialist country

have struck a fatal blow
to the racist police state.

What better
revolutionary example

than to let their
president perish

in the inhuman dungeon
of his own imperialist prison?

The bosses of the racist...

Unlock the pod.

She's bolted the door.

Can't you shoot off the lock?

No, sir,
she's pressurized the cabin.

How about lifting
the door off at the hinges?

No, sir.

Get me to the pod.

[MAN] Sir, this is
a locating device to trace you

if you become separated from the

I'm activating it now.

God save me and
watch over you all.

[ELECTRONIC VOICE]
Computer simulation.

Tracking Air Force One.

[RADIO OPERATOR] He's down!

[REHME] It's the escape pod.

[ALARM BLARING]

Forty degrees.

Fifty yards from impact.

I'm going in.

[MAN ON RADIO] 1-W-Larry.

Over the Battery.

We're moving down.

Crash site ahead.

[MAN CACKLING]

You touch me, he dies.

If you're not in the air
in 30 seconds, he dies.

You come back in, he dies.

Twenty seconds.

I'm ready to talk.

19, 18...

What do you want?

17, 16...

Let's go. Let's go!

[EXHALES]

Yes. He's right here,
Mr. Vice President.

This is Bob Hauk.

We can't. If we move in with
choppers, they'll kill him.

We're lucky if
he's not dead already.

They don't want anything yet.

By the time they figure out
what they want, it'll be too late.

Tell him we have to go
with your plan. Now.

We can't wait till tomorrow. If we
have to move in and take the island,

it's a last resort.

It's 8:45.

I want permission
to try a rescue.

Thank you.

All right.

[OFFICER] He's dangerous, sir.

I know. I'll be okay.

I'm not a fool, Plissken.

[WHISPERING] Call me Snake.

S.D. Plissken, American.

Lieutenant, Special
Forces unit Black Light.

Two Purple Hearts,
Leningrad and Siberia.

Youngest man to be decorated
by the President.

You robbed the Federal
Reserve depository.

Life sentence, New York
Maximum Security Penitentiary.

I'm ready to kick your ass
out of the world, war hero.

Who are you?

Hauk.

Police commissioner.

Bob Hauk.

Special Forces
unit Texas Thunder.

We heard of you, too, Plissken.

Why are we talking?

I have a deal for you.

You'll receive full pardon

for every criminal action you
committed in the United States.

There was an accident.

About an hour ago, a small jet
went down inside New York City.

The President was on board.

President of what?

That's not funny, Plissken.

You go in, find the President,

bring him out in 24 hours,
and you're a free man.

Twenty-four hours?

I'm making you an offer.

Bullshit.

Straight. Just like I said.

I'll think about it.

No time. Give me an answer.

Get a new president.

We're still at war, Plissken.

We need him alive.

I don't give a fuck about
your war or your president.

Is that your answer?

I'm thinking about it.

Think hard.

Why me?

You flew the Gull fire
over Leningrad.

You know how to get in quiet.

You're all I've got.

I guess I go in,
one way or the other.

Doesn't mean shit to me.

Give me the paper.

When you come out.
Before.

I told you I wasn't
a fool, Plissken.

Call me Snake.

[REHME] Some of them have cars.

They took old junkers that were
left behind, converted them to steam.

We think they may also have
a gasoline source in there.

And power. Greenhouses, rigged-up
generators, some areas have streetlights.

The crazies,
they live in the subways.

Complete control
of the underground.

They're night raiders.

Tracer. Sends a radio
signal for 15 minutes.

If you push it,
we can track you on radar.

Just like Leningrad.

But they added something.
A safety catch.

Where am I Landi

Top of the World Trade
Centre. Only place you can land.

They won't see it and you
can take off from a free fall.

On the roof is
a service elevator.

It's still operational.

We use it to
infiltrate the prison.

There's a power box.

It'll activate
the elevator down to 50.

From there on down, you walk.

You can locate the President by
his vital-signs bracelet on his wrist.

Sends off a sync pulse.
Use this.

Homing device.

Shows direction and distance.

Strong antitoxin, stops bacteria

and viral growth for 24 hours.

Take off your jacket.

I'll be all right.

Let's go, Plissken.

[SIGHS]

I don't like needles.

22 hours,
59 minutes, 57 seconds.

We talked about 24.

In 22 hours, the Hartford
Summit meeting will be over.

China and the Soviet Union
will go back home.

Now, the President
was on his way

to the summit when
his plane went down.

[CHUCKLES]

He has a briefcase
attached to his wrist.

The tape recording inside has
to reach Hartford in 22 hours.

What's on it?

You know anything
about nuclear fusion?

All right.

It's the survival of the
human race, Plissken.

Something you don't
give a shit about.

I'm going to inject you.

It'll sting for a second or two.

That's it, Plissken.

Tell him.

Tell me what?

That idea you had about turning

the Gull fire around 180 degrees

and flying off to Canada...

What did you do to me, asshole?

My idea, Plissken. Something
we've been fooling around with.

Two microscopic capsules
lodged in your arteries.

They're already
starting to dissolve.

In 22 hours, the cores
will completely dissolve.

Inside the cores
are a heat-sensing charge.

Not a large explosive.

About the size of a pinhead.

Just big enough to open
both your arteries.

I'd say you'd be dead
in 10 or 15 seconds...

Take them out now.

They're protected by the cores.

15 minutes before
the last hour's up,

we can neutralize
the charge with x-

[GRUNTS]

We'll burn out the charges
if you have the President.

What if I'm a little late?

No more Hartford Summit

and no more Snake Plissken.

When I get back,
I'm gonna kill you.

The Gullfire's waiting.

[STATIC BUZZING]

I'm ready.

Twenty-one hours.

Suppose he's dead, Hauk.

If I come back without him,
you'll burn these things out?

Get them both back, Plissken.

And, remember, once you're
inside you're on your own.

Oh, you mean
I can't count on you?

No.

Good.

[ELECTRONIC VOICE]
Tracer test confirmed

at 20 hours,
17 minutes, 30 seconds.

Are you picking
up the target blip?

Right on course.

Been a while.

[HAUK] How's your altitude?

Plissken.

Plissken?

Plissken, what are you doing?

Playing with myself.
I'm going in.

Plissken.

Plissken?

[PLISSKEN] I'm inside the World
Trade Centre on the 50th floor.

Just like Leningrad, Hauk.

Is the glider intact?

Yeah, but taking off
is for shit.

I'll work it out.

You'll have to use
the east stairwell.

It's gonna take you a little
while to get to ground level.

Call me when you get outside.

I'm at the plane.

Nobody else made it, Hauk.

[TRACER BEEPING]

Wait a minute.

I've got his pulse.

Right up ahead,
moving northwest.

[DOOR OPENS]

Hey. You're Snake Plissken,
ain't you?

What do you want?

Nothing.

I thought you were dead.

Hey, you don't wanna walk
around down there, Snake.

Hi, chief. Nice night.

Nice boots.

Nice boots.

Hey.

[GRUNTS]

Easy now, chief.

I'm walking. I'm walking.

[MAN COUGHING]

[GRUNTING]

[GRUNTS]

Mr. President.

I'm the President.
Sure, I'm the President.

I knew when I got this thing,
I'd be President.

Where'd you get it?

I woke up and there it was.

It was like a miracle.

Oh, Jesus!

It may be just an impact
on the mechanism itself.

Hauk.

I'm right here, Plissken.

I don't know who you assholes are
looking at, but it's not the President.

[SINGING]
X Hail to the chief J

[VOCALIZING]

All right,
get your machine ready.

I'm coming out.

Eighteen hours, Plissken.

Listen to me, Hauk.

The President is dead.
You got that?

Somebody's had him for dinner.

Plissken, if you get back in
that glider, I'll shoot you down.

You climb out,
I'll burn you off the wall.

You understand that, Plissken?

[RADIO DISCONNECTS]

[SCOFFS]

A little human compassion.

[METALLIC CLANKING]

[CLANKING]

[CLANKING CONTINUES]

You a cop?

No.

You got a gun.

You got a smoke?

Keep your hand over it.

It's all right if we're quiet.

They won't hear us.

Hey, this is a real one.
You just get in?

What's going on out there?

Crazies.

End of the month.
They're out of food.

Do you live here?

Skulls? Are you kiddi

I'm with the Turks now.

I just got caught on the street after
dark, now I'm stuck here all night.

A plane crashed seven hours ago

near 8th Avenue.
Did you see it?

No.

[SIGHS]

Shit.

You're a cop.

I'm an asshole.

Hey, wait a minute.

I know who you are.

Yeah. But I heard
you were dead.

I am.

Snake Plissken. All right!

What you doing in here
with a gun, Snake?

Looking for somebody.

Who?
The President.

[CHUCKLING] Come on.

He really here?

Somewhere.

When you find him,
you gonna take him out?

Mmm-hmm.

Take me out with you, Snake.

Why?

I can think of
lots of reasons why.

[CLATTERING]

[SCREAMS]

[MAN GRUNTS]

[BANGING]

[SWING MUSIC
PLAYING ON RADIO]

Where you going, buddy?

[CABBIE]
Bad neighbourhood, Snake.

You don't wanna be walking from
the Bowery to 42nd Street at night.

[SCOFFS] I've been driving
a cab here for 30 years,

and I'm telling you, you don't
walk around here at night. Yes, sir!

Here they'll kill you and
strip you in 10 seconds flat.

Usually, I'm not
down around here myself,

but I wanted to catch that show.

This stuff is like gold
around here, you know.

[LAUGHING]

Hey, Snake, when did you get in?

I didn't even
know they caught you.

[LAUGHS] Oh,
Snake Plissken in my cab.

Wait till I tell Eddie!
Hey, hang on, Snake.

[LAUGHING]

Hey, what were you doing
back there, Snake?

Looking for somebody.

Well, why didn't you ask me?

Hell, I know
everybody in this town.

Yes, sir,
I've been driving this cab

for 30 years.
This very same cab!

I'm gonna ask you.

[COCKS RIFLE]

Now, where's the President?

The Duke got him.

Everybody knows
the Duke's got him.

You don't have to put a gun
to my head. I'll tell you.

Who's the Duke?

The Duke?

The Duke of New York.
A-number-one.

The big man, that's who!

Well, that's real good.

I wanna meet this Duke.

You can't meet the Duke.

Are you crazy?

Nobody gets to meet the Duke.

You meet him once
and then you're dead!

I hate to leave
her on the street.

Usually, I don't
leave her alone at all.

But you're
a special case, Snake.

It's okay, Snake.

It's a better neighbourhood.

You can relax.

Thanks.

Boy, they got
a great place here.

Like a fortress.

They?
Yeah.

[WOMAN] Who is it?

It's me!

[WOMAN] Who's me?

Cabbie.

[WOMAN] What do you want?

Somebody wants to
see Brain. It's important.

[WOMAN] Go away, Cabbie!
No, it's Snake!

Snake Plissken.

[LOCK UNLATCHING]

You're Plissken?

He wants to see Brain.

Why?

I wanna meet the Duke.

[CABBIE] Hey, you remember
this place, Snake.

It used to be a public library.

[CHUCKLES] Oh, that Brain,
he's the greatest.

Mr. Fabulous!
The Duke loves him.

Who's that?

That's Maggie, Brain's squeeze.

The Duke gave her to Brain
just to keep him happy.

[CHUCKLES] See what I mean?

Heard you were dead.

Brain? Brain, I brought
somebody to see you.

Harold Helman.

Snake?

Harold?

How you been, Harold?

It's been a long time.

[MAGGIE] You never told me
you knew Snake Plissken, Brain.

[CABBIE] Isn't that great?
Hey, Brain, I could

use some gas if
you could spare some.

[PLISSKEN]
I'm glad you remember me.

Yeah.

A man should remember his past.

Kansas City, four years ago,
you ran out on me.

You left me sitting there.

You were late.

We were buddies, Harold.

You, me and Fresno Bob.

You know what they did to Bob?

Hmm?

You wanna see him sprayed
all over that map, baby?

Where's the President?

I swear to God,
Snake, I don't know!

Don't fuck with me.

Why do you wanna know?

I want him.

Working for the man now, huh?

I'll just beat it
out of your squeeze.

Mmm-hmm. Maggie doesn't know
exactly where he is

and unless you know
exactly, precisely

where he is,
you'll never find him.

Listen, I'll take
you out of here. Yeah.

Jet glider just a couple
of blocks down the street.

And all you gotta
do is get me to him.

No kidding?
On the level?

Hey, will you take me, too?

We got a deal somewhere else.

No glider.

We've got the President and the
Duke's taking everybody out of here.

Never happen, baby.

You see, I know something
you and the Duke don't know.

Only got so long before
Mr. President doesn't mean a whole lot.

You're lying.

Maybe he's not.

I know him. Look at
his face, he's lying!

Right, Harold. I'm lying.

So I might as well have some
fun and keep looking by myself.

[MAGGIE] Brain.
Talk to him, baby.

Brain, he'll kill us both
if you don't tell him!

[CABBIE] Brain,
you gotta tell him!

All right, all right!

You always were smart, Harold.

[GUN UNCOCKING]

Just one thing right now.

Don't call me Harold.

So you work for this Duke, huh?

Yeah. I make gas for him,
figure out things for him.

Like what?

Like how to get across
the 69th Street Bridge.

It's mined, but I know
where they're planted.

We got a diagram from a guy
that got all the way across

before they shot
the poor bastard.

Mmm-hmm.
We got a crew up there now

clearing away
the first barricade.

Oh, what a sight, Snake!

The whole camp rolling
right across the bridge

and the President
right out in front.

Oh, that would have
been so fine.

[CHUCKLING]

Yeah, it would've been.

Yeah, well,
we're going with Snake now.

[CARS APPROACHING]

That's the Duke.

I know the sound of his engines.

Don't cross the Duke.

Everybody knows that.

Cabbie, you slime!

No, Brain.
Get out of here.

[MECHANICAL HUMMING]

He's looking for you, Brain.

What does he want?

He wants my
diagram of the bridge.

When he finds out I'm with
you, he's gonna want my life.

Shit, Plissken, I knew
I shouldn't have listened...

We gotta get to the
President now while he's busy.

Forget it. He's on
the other side of town

and we got no wheels.
The deal is off.

Just calm down.

[GRUNTS]

I think they saw us.
Turn left.

Turn left here.

Brain, this is Broadway.

I know. I know.
The Duke'll take

7th Avenue.
Broadway's got five minutes...

No!

Yes. Keep driving.

What's wrong with Broadway?

Come on, sweetheart.

[PLISSKEN] Come on, Brain.

Maggie!

Hold on.

He's in the third car from
the end by the last campfire.

It's all right. He's
gotta go in the front way.

It'll take him five minutes.

If you're not back to the car in
four minutes, you're on your own.

When we get there, Harold,
you just keep talking.

[BRAIN] Hi, guys.

Hi. How's it going?

Cooled off a little, huh?

What do you want, Brain?

The Duke told us to wait inside.

He's on his way here now.

He didn't say
nothing to us about it.

Well, you can't
expect him to tell

everybody in the joint,
now can you?

That's why he's the Duke.

Why don't we wait
outside here for him?

Well, why don't we
wait inside for him?

Because I got orders,
that's why.

Well, what are your
specific orders, by the way?

Specific orders, Brain, was for
me not to let no one go inside.

How's the President
holding up by the way?

Any political discussions
you've had with him?

That Brain is
a real pain in the ass.

He's always sniffing
around like a dog.

He comes up with the gas.

What are you looking at?

[GRUNTS]

Are you from the outside?

Stop shaking.

Who are you?

Hauk sent me in.

We've gotta move fast.
Move fast?

You're goddamn
right I'll move fast.

Keep quiet. Keep moving.

[GRUNTS]

They got him.

Watch it.

Friend of yours, Brain?

He had a gun on me, Duke.
There was nothing I could do.

Mmm-hmm.

[WHISPERING] Maggie.

Who are you?

[GRUNTING]

I said, who are you?

Snake Plissken, Duke.

The Man sent him in here.

Something's going down.
We need him.

[GRUNTING]

Snake Plissken.

I've heard of you.

I heard you were dead.

[MAN 1 ON RADIO] This is

This is my prison.
I'll give the orders.

I override all that.

I want that diagram, Brain.

It's at my place, Duke.

Duke, that Plissken said
something about a time limit.

What time limit?

On him.

[DUKE] That's a lot of crap.

What did I teach you?

[STAMMERING] You
are Duke of New York.

You are A-number-one.

I can't hear you.

You...

You are the Duke of New York!

You are A-number-one!

Get me the diagram.

Duke, don't kill Plissken.
We need him.

Get moving, Brain.

[CACKLING]

[ALL CHEERING]

[HELICOPTER APPROACHING]

[PEOPLE EXCLAIMING]

People down below in the park.

Can you see them?

Surveillance 10 to Security
Control, are you getting that readout,

that pulse there
on the infrared?

We have a visual sighting on it.

It's a crowd of
prisoners in Central Park.

They're waving at us.

Signalling us from
the food-drop area.

They're waving us down.

[ALL YELLING]

I still can't figure out

whether that son of a bitch
Plissken was telling the truth or not.

God, I hate that guy.

He got in somehow.

Yeah. Yeah, but how?

You gotta land
a glider and take off.

You can't do it in Central
Park, there's too many trees.

Port Authority is
too low to the ground,

unless it was someplace high

The World Trade Centre,
that's it.

Here we go,
the World Trade Centre

and it's gonna be
a hell of a lot easier

for me to take off
than it was for him to land.

Amnesty for all prisoners in New
York City in exchange for President.

69th Street Bridge, tomorrow,
12:00 noon. No bullshit or he's dead.

Where's the tape?

Not here.

They're Plissken's.

So much for your man, Hauk.

Warm up the choppers.
We're moving in.

[ALARM BLARING]

Plissken?

[CROWD CHEERING]

Come on, get

[CROWD BOOING]

[CROWD CHEERING]

[CROWD STOPS CHEERING]

They sent in their best man

and when we roll down the 69th Street
Bridge tomorrow on our way to freedom,

we're gonna have
their best man leading the way

from the neck

[CHEERING]

On the hood of my car!

Let's do it!

[CLANGS]

[KNOCKING]

Romero. Where did
you get the hat?

Got it from Cabbie.

Oh, yeah?

Traded him.

For what?

What are you so nervous about?

I gotta see the President.

Who says?

No, he doesn't.

Well, I'll have to
tell him you said that.

Wait a minute.

Why?

He's got something
hidden in his clothing

and the Duke wants it.
What?

I'll show you.
You'll tell me.

Cyanide capsules.

The Duke don't
want a dead president.

[BRAIN] Gentlemen.

Mr. President.

Cyanide?

Yeah. He might try
to take it tomorrow.

[ROMERO]
That's a bunch of bullshit.

You're not supposed
to be in here, Brain.

[CHANTING STOPS]

The President's gone!

Brain took him!

Hauk! Plissken's tracer!

Get on the radio.
Keep them down.

Nobody move.

[REHME] He's approaching
the World Trade Centre.

I knew that son of
a bitch was alive.

[REHME] He's inside.

It's gone.

The signal only
lasts for 15 minutes.

Download the choppers.
We're in standby situation.

Anybody could have
pushed that button.

Only Plissken knew
there was a safety catch.

Now, we'll give him a little
more time, just to make sure.

Goddamn redskins!

They're savages,
Mr. President.

Listen, Snake, I swear to God
I thought you were dead.

Yeah, you and everybody else.

That your car in the lobby?

Yeah.
Keys, quick.

Quick, diagram of
the bridge. Okay.

Hey, hey, hey.

I'm the only one who knows
how to read that, Snake.

Stay out of my way, Harold.

Besides, you can't read and drive
at the same time. You need us!

You shouldn't have double-crossed
me again, Brain. Come on, let's go.

They sawed it off.
The tape?

Gone, I don't know where.

I do.

I swear to God, Snake,
I know where it is.

Just take us to the car.

I'll take you right to it.

Shit.

[PRESIDENT GROANING]

Shit, shit.

Don't talk. Breathe.

I'm trying.

Come on, come on!
We're wasting time.

[BRAIN] What's wrong?

It's dead, Harold.

What?

Here, take this.

[DUKE] Car trouble?

Hi, Duke.

This whole deal of
yours is over, Snake.

You and Brain just say
goodbye to each other.

[SWING MUSIC
PLAYING ON RADIO]

Go, go!

[TIRES SCREECHING]

There are three mines right
here. Then you go a few blocks...

[MAGGIE] They're behind us.
And then there's three more...

[BRAIN] They come
in groups of threes.

Where's the tape, Brain?

[CABBIE] What tape?
Where is it?

[PRESIDENT]
The tape from the briefcase!

Oh, that tape. Here it is.

You traded Romero your hat?

How did you know?

[LAUGHS] See? See?

[MAN ON TAPE]
The discovery that tritium

creates only one one-millionth

of the biological
damage of iodine...

Here, give me that tape.

Not just yet.

Easy, easy.

Go for it, Snake!

You gotta slow
down a little, Snake.

I think there are
three mines ahead, Snake.

You think?

Stay left.
Stay left, stay left

and then jog
right when I tell you.

[CABBIE] You're pushing
her too hard, Snake.

[BRAIN] Okay, okay, now!

[TIRES SCREECH]

I said jog right, you asshole.

[BRAIN] Stay to the right.
Stay to the right.

Left, left!

No, hold it! Left!

Left, damn it!

Brain?

Keep moving.

Maggie.

He's dead.

Come on.

Station 19, they spotted two
cars on the 69th Street Bridge.

Is it Plissken?
A taxicab and a Cadillac.

The taxi hit a mine.
There's four people on foot.

Fourteen minutes.

Get a jeep with
a winch over there, fast.

Cronenberg,
get over to Station 19.

They're coming
across the bridge.

[ALARM BLARING]

[ON PA] This is Rehme. Security
Control, we have a standby situation.

Repeat, we are
on standby footing.

All helicopters, down.

Wall guards,
do not fire on prisoners.

Repeat,
do not fire on prisoners.

All vehicles, stand by.

All vehicles stand by.

[BOTH GRUNTING]

You're A-number-one!

You're the Duke!
You're the Duke!

[CHUCKLING] You're the Duke.

You're A-number-one.

[HELICOPTER WHIRRING]

The tape, Plissken.

[BUZZING]

That's it.

[BEEPS]

I've radioed ahead,
Mr. President.

They know the situation.

They're waiting
for your broadcast.

Yeah.

Hold it.

Oh, it's all right.

I wanna thank you.

Anything you want,
you just name it.

Just a moment of your time.

[REHME] Three minutes, sir.

Yes?

We did get you out.

A lot of people
died in the process.

I just wondered how
you felt about it.

[CLEARS THROAT] Well, I...

I wanna thank them.

This nation
appreciates their sacrifice.

Look, I'm on the air
in two and a half minutes?

[REHME] Yes, sir.

You gonna kill me now, Snake?

I'm too tired.

Maybe later.

I've got another deal for you.

I want you to think it over
while you're resting.

I wanna give you a job.

We'd make one hell
of a team, Snake.

The name's Plissken.

[MAN] You're on camera,
Mr. President.

Good evening.

Although I shall not be present

at this historic summit meeting,

I present this in the hope

that our great nations
may learn to live in peace.
