00:05:03 Look, the transcriptions need
00:05:08 Hold on. Take Sepulveda
00:05:11 Take La Brea north to Sixth

00:05:33 The 1 1 0 north of the 1 0,
00:05:34 you get people driving to Pasadena,

00:07:02 Could've fooled me by the way
00:07:06 Different instrument.
00:07:09 If you had just listened to me, we'd be
00:07:13 and you would've made yourself
00:07:15 Yeah, well, you keep that 5 bucks.
00:07:20 Really, it's not that... It's not a big deal.
00:07:24 Well, how many cabbies
00:07:26 get you into an argument
00:07:28 There were two of us. I had to kill
00:07:36 Take pride in being good
00:07:38 What, this? Oh, this is...
00:07:42 This is a fill-in job. Pay the bills.
00:07:45 But I will be the best at what I do.
00:07:52 - What else?
00:07:56 Like...?
00:07:59 Tell me.
00:08:00 Limo company I'm putting together.

00:08:28 Elegant, not too flashy.
00:08:30 Plus a top-drawer briefcase
00:08:34 And the purse. A Bottega.
00:08:37 Anyway, a man gets in my cab with
00:08:42 You? Clarence Darrow.
00:08:46 Well, no, not quite.
00:08:50 - Big case?
00:09:35 - Got us here fast.
00:09:38 But you didn't answer my question.
00:09:41 Do you like what you do?
00:09:45 Yeah.
00:09:49 But not today.
00:09:52 No, I do. Like, I can't wait.
00:09:56 I love standing in that courtroom.
00:10:00 I get this clenched-up thing
00:10:06 Clenched up? How?
00:10:21 I think I'm gonna lose.
00:10:24 my exhibits aren't in order,
00:10:26 people are gonna find out
00:10:29 and I've been running some charade
00:10:32 I represent
00:10:34 and my opening statement is gonna
00:10:37 and the jury's gonna laugh at me.
00:10:43 And then I cry. I don't throw up.
00:10:46 A lot of people throw up.
00:10:50 And then I pull myself together,
00:10:54 work my exhibits, and that's
00:10:58 That's my routine.
00:11:03 - In the morning, it starts, and I'm fine.
00:11:09 I just had a vacation
00:11:12 No, no, not in a cab. I mean,
00:11:14 Get your unified self up.
00:11:18 When was the last time
00:11:20 I go on a vacation all the time.
00:11:21 - How often?
00:11:24 My favorite spot.

00:14:57 Normandie to Venice, three minutes.

00:15:55 - Regular ride?
00:15:59 - Because you prefer nights?
00:16:01 Less stress, less traffic, better tips.

00:38:56 Okay. Keep knocking.
00:39:00 Remember that
00:39:03 Cabby drove around all night,
00:39:04 killed three people,
00:39:07 The guy flipped out. So what?
00:39:08 So that Oakland PD detective,
00:39:11 Cabby had no criminal record,
00:39:14 Pops three people, then himself?
00:39:18 Anyway, that detective always thought
00:39:54 I never learned to listen to jazz.
00:39:57 It's off melody. Behind the notes.
00:40:02 - Improvising, like tonight.
00:40:29 Most people, ten years from now,
00:40:32 same job, same place, same routine.
00:40:34 Just keeping it safe
00:40:37 Ten years from now.
00:40:39 Man, you don't know where you'll be
00:40:44 Do you?
00:41:00 - Who is that on the trumpet?
00:41:07 He's terrific. Would you be so kind
00:41:10 - I gotta buy him a drink.
00:41:21 No, now, see, I was about 19,
00:41:25 The money wasn't shit,
00:41:28 It was about being around the music.
00:41:31 I mean, take this one night.
00:41:33 July 22nd, 1 964. Who you think
00:41:36 Bye, baby.
00:41:38 Miles Davis. That's right.
00:41:40 - In the flesh?
00:41:42 I'm talking about, through those doors,
00:41:45 Jesus.
00:41:46 Anyway, he had been
00:41:49 up at Columbia, up on Vine.
00:41:53 Before you know it, he's up on
00:41:58 - I mean, it had to be...
00:42:00 I mean, the dude was
00:42:03 Plus, he was kind of
00:42:06 I mean, everybody
00:42:07 that you don't just come up
00:42:10 I mean, he may have looked like he
00:42:15 This one young, hip couple, one of
00:42:19 And the guy says, "Hi, my name is..."
00:42:22 Miles said, "Get the fuck out
00:42:25 Take your silly bitch with you."
00:42:29 You know? That's...
00:42:31 That's the way he was when he was
00:42:36 But did you get to talk to him?
00:42:38 - Better than that.
00:42:39 - I played for about 20 minutes.
00:42:43 - How'd you do?
00:42:45 Well, you really ain't shit when
00:42:48 But he carried my ass.
00:42:50 - What'd he say?
00:42:54 - "Cool"?
00:42:56 - That's it?
00:42:57 That meant, "Good, but not ready."
00:43:00 It meant,
00:43:03 - Did you?
00:43:06 I got drafted and got
00:43:09 And by the time I got back to music,
00:43:15 But, you know, I was born in 1 945,
00:43:18 but that night was
00:43:21 - Right here in this room.
00:43:25 Well, jazz ain't the draw
00:43:30 What a great story.
00:43:32 I gotta tell the people in Culiacán
00:43:49 You know the folks in Culiacán
00:43:53 Afraid so.
00:43:56 Man, just when I thought
00:43:59 I am a cool guy,
00:44:02 Come on, Vincent,
00:44:05 - I'm working here.
00:44:07 talking about improvisation. You like
00:44:10 - Let's just play a little jazz. Come on.
00:44:12 That's funny, coming from you.
00:44:20 How's this? I'll ask a question.
00:44:23 - What question?
00:44:27 Now, you get it right, we roll.
00:44:31 You disappear tonight.
00:44:33 If I walk out of here tonight,
00:44:35 I will go so far away,
00:44:39 And one more thing:
00:44:41 These people
00:44:45 Well, you tell them I'm sorry.
00:44:47 You tell them I had to.
00:44:52 I was compelled. It was either
00:44:56 And I'm not going back inside.
00:45:01 Yeah.
00:45:06 Lay it on me.
00:45:09 Where did Miles learn music?
00:45:11 I know everything there is
00:45:13 Then let's have it.
00:45:14 Music school.
00:45:17 His father was a dentist,
00:45:20 Invested in agriculture,
00:45:22 He sent Miles
00:45:26 New York, 1 945.
00:45:28 Man.
00:45:44 Dropped out of Juilliard
00:45:46 Tracked down Charlie Parker
00:45:48 who mentored him
00:46:14 - Hey.
00:46:17 - Find you another cab.
00:46:19 Leave me alone.
00:46:29 I am not playing.
00:46:33 You played him, man.
00:46:36 He got the answer right,
00:46:44 This is 1 02. This is 1 02. Max?
00:46:47 - What is it with this guy?
00:47:00 - You hassling my driver again?
00:47:03 The same guy
00:47:05 Max's mother's driving me crazy.
00:47:09 Hang on.
00:47:11 Carefully.
00:47:15 - Yeah.
00:47:17 every ten minutes.
00:47:18 Are you all right?
00:47:20 Show for what?
00:47:23 Tell her I can't make it tonight.
00:47:25 I'm not related to you.
00:47:28 Show up for what?
00:47:31 She's in the hospital.
00:47:33 - You visit every night?
00:47:36 - You don't show up, it breaks routine.
00:47:39 So people start looking for you,
00:47:44 I'm not taking you to see my mother.
00:47:48 Since when was
00:47:57 Two paces ahead, one to the left.
00:48:06 Hey. Flowers?
00:48:09 It's a waste of money.
00:48:13 She carried you in her womb
00:48:20 People buy flowers. Buy flowers.
00:48:23 Excuse me. Keep the change.
00:48:37 Hold that elevator, please.
00:48:42 - Floor?
00:48:55 - Having a good night?
00:49:08 Excuse me.
00:49:44 Hey, Ma.
00:49:47 - I've been calling and calling.
00:49:51 Why couldn't you call me
00:49:53 I'm lying here wondering
00:49:56 - I brought you flowers.
00:49:58 - Cheer up.
00:50:01 By worrying that you spend money
00:50:06 See what I mean? I didn't buy
00:50:10 Who?
00:50:16 Why didn't you tell me
00:50:21 What's your name?
00:50:25 No harm done, ma'am.
00:50:27 You paid for my flowers?
00:50:29 They're beautiful.
00:50:39 Well, Max?
00:50:45 Mother, this is Vincent.
00:50:52 I'm very happy to meet you,
00:50:54 Oh, just call me Ida.
00:50:56 Ida. I was with Max
00:51:00 And you came all the way
00:51:02 - It's nothing, ma'am.
00:51:05 You have to hold a gun to his head
00:51:10 You must be one of Max's
00:51:13 Client? I... You know, I like
00:51:18 Max never had many friends.
00:51:19 Always talking to himself
00:51:23 How many times I got to ask you?
00:51:25 Do what?
00:51:26 Don't talk about me like
00:51:29 What's he saying?
00:51:31 He says he's standing right here,
00:51:34 Yes, you are. He's sensitive.
00:51:38 I know. But I'm sure
00:51:41 Of course I'm proud.
00:51:45 - Look at him today. Here, Vegas...
00:51:48 Mom. Mom, he is not interested
00:51:52 I came to see you, I saw you,
00:51:54 No, no, no. No, no, no.
00:51:58 - Limousine companies.
00:52:01 He drives famous people around.
00:52:03 Famous people.
00:52:05 Now, that's quite an achievement.
00:52:07 What did you say
00:52:10 My name's Vincent, ma'am.
00:52:12 - Visit again?
00:52:16 - When you come back.
00:52:36 Max!
00:53:21 Don't!
00:53:52 All my prep was in there.
00:54:01 Let's see what else you can do.
00:54:07 Well, I've had four come in tonight.
00:54:16 No, not Ramone. Let's see this one.
00:54:24 No, next.
00:54:25 You know, something's funny
00:54:29 These three all came in within
00:54:33 The kid and that last guy,
00:54:38 - Why do you say that?
00:54:43 Two in the sternum, one in the head.
00:54:46 This guy, he's shooting tight
00:54:49 Double taps are a couple
00:54:52 Let's see this one.
00:55:03 See what I mean?
00:55:07 - Holy shit. Can I use your phone?
00:55:16 Come on, come on, wake up.
00:55:33 - Hello.
00:55:35 I'm still down here at the morgue
00:55:38 The John Does didn't pan out,
00:55:40 - who I got here in the meat locker.
00:55:43 Sylvester Clarke, criminal attorney
00:55:47 Including Ramone,
00:55:50 who's still missing.
00:55:52 The both of whom are in the
00:55:56 There's something going on,
00:55:57 and I don't think the feds
00:55:59 Tell you what, stay on your cell phone.
00:56:03 - with you in 30 minutes.
00:56:12 You're gonna go to a place
00:56:14 It's on Washington Boulevard
00:56:16 - Where at on Washington?
00:56:24 Limos, huh?
00:56:26 Don't start.
00:56:28 Hey, I'm not the one
00:56:30 She hears what she wants to hear.
00:56:33 Yeah, right. Maybe she hears
00:56:36 Whatever I tell her is never
00:56:38 It's always been that way.
00:56:41 - So, what's at El Rodeo?
00:56:46 They project onto you their flaws.
00:56:48 What they don't like about themselves,
00:56:52 They rank on you instead.
00:56:55 - How do you know?
00:57:00 Mothers are worse.
00:57:01 Wouldn't know. My mother died
00:57:04 What happened to your father?
00:57:07 Hated everything I did.
00:57:10 Got drunk, beat me up, foster homes.
00:57:17 Then what?
00:57:21 I killed him.
00:57:25 I was 1 2.
00:57:35 I'm kidding.
00:57:39 He died of liver disease.
00:57:43 - Well, I'm sorry.
00:58:02 So, what is this "driving a cab
00:58:06 - It is not bullshit.
00:58:10 Gotta get the cash together.
00:58:14 Gotta staff up,
00:58:16 It's not just simply get the car
00:58:19 - Why not?
00:58:22 is more than just a ride. It's a...
00:58:28 Don't want it to end.
00:58:33 Perfect.
00:58:36 It's up here. Turn right.
00:58:58 - Give me your wallet. Come on.
00:59:02 I'll hold it for you in case
00:59:06 - Who's searching?
00:59:09 Go in, ask for Felix.
00:59:12 - Felix.
00:59:13 - What does he look like?
00:59:16 Who is he?
00:59:17 He's connected to the guys
00:59:20 - I don't get it.
00:59:22 Number four's due.
00:59:23 What'd you think, night's over?
00:59:26 You go in there, say you're me.
00:59:28 They'll be on flash drive or CD.
00:59:30 - Me? How come you don't go?
00:59:32 Risk management. Anonymity. I protect
00:59:36 I got a contract with their bosses.
00:59:39 They don't know what I look like.
00:59:43 If I don't pull it off, then...
00:59:46 They will kill you.
00:59:48 At 1 0:01, I drive to the hospital
00:59:50 and execute your mother
00:59:52 - And don't pretend indifference.
00:59:55 - I can't.
00:59:57 Sure you can, man.
00:59:59 Look, man, if I do this, I'm just gonna
01:00:02 Out of options, Max. Just take comfort
01:00:08 - How long you been doing this?
01:00:10 Just in case they ask me.
01:00:13 - Private sector, six years.
01:00:17 You get benefits? Or, you know,
01:00:22 No. No paid sick leave.
01:00:53 - Yeah? Hold up.
01:01:04 Who is this?
01:01:10 Mark the time.
01:01:17 All right, it's cool.
01:01:23 - What's up, homes?
01:01:27 I'm here to see Felix.
01:01:30 Don't know no Felix.
01:01:36 Tell him...
01:01:40 Vince... Say it's Vincent.

01:02:02 Let him in. Let him in right now.
01:02:36 Detective Richard Weidner, L.A.P.D.,
01:02:39 Detective Ray Fanning,
01:02:40 - L.A.P.D., Major Narcotics.
01:02:43 Good. Thanks for seeing us, Frank.
01:02:45 Yeah, you're welcome.
01:02:46 Why do you wanna know
01:02:48 - Any unusual activity tonight?
01:02:51 That relates to a murder
01:02:53 in Wilshire Central
01:02:56 All quiet on the western front.
01:02:59 Various people are asleep.
01:03:02 They come and go in cars,
01:03:05 Other than that, we watch air move.
01:03:09 - Your interest in our case?
01:03:11 We got a situation. Two bodies.
01:03:13 Could be a coincidence, could not be
01:03:17 - We got an attorney and his client...
01:03:22 Roof's all beat to shit.
01:03:26 - Can you zoom in on this, please?
01:03:29 On that.
01:03:35 - Look at that right there.
01:03:42 Yeah. 5-Queen-4997 4.
01:03:46 5Q4997 4.
01:04:45 I thought you'd be taller.
01:04:50 So, Vincent...
01:04:55 - What are the two names?
01:04:58 Are you telling me Ramone Ayala
01:05:01 - Both killed?
01:05:03 - Ramone, I don't know.
01:05:05 Daniel Baker out of South Central,
01:05:08 That's three.
01:05:09 - Three what?
01:05:12 "Vincent meet their people
01:05:19 But he don't meet you." Okay.
01:05:23 Now you're here.
01:05:27 Why?
01:05:32 I lost my stuff.
01:05:35 The list.
01:05:39 I want you to listen to me real well.
01:05:44 Special groups put together
01:05:47 - Dedos?
01:05:51 Signal interceptions with
01:05:54 surveillance.
01:05:56 A very expensive counterintelligence
01:06:00 An important list. Wouldn't you say?
01:06:05 And you lost it?
01:06:09 Yeah.
01:06:11 I'm sorry.
01:06:14 Sorry.
01:06:16 Sorry? Sorry does not put
01:06:24 - Do you believe in Humpty Dumpty?
01:06:27 - Do you believe in Santa Claus?
01:06:30 Nor do I. Nor do I, but my children do.
01:06:35 But do you know who they like even
01:06:40 Pedro el Negro. Black Peter. Yeah.
01:06:45 There's an old Mexican tale
01:06:49 got so very busy looking out
01:06:52 that he had to hire some help
01:06:55 So he hired Pedro.
01:06:58 And Santa Claus gave him a list
01:06:59 with all the names
01:07:03 And Pedro would come every night
01:07:06 And the people, the little kids
01:07:09 that were not saying their prayers,
01:07:12 Pedro would leave a little toy donkey
01:07:16 A little burro.
01:07:18 And he would come back. And if
01:07:22 Pedro would take them away,
01:07:23 and nobody would ever
01:07:26 Now, if I am being Santa Claus,
01:07:31 how do you think jolly old
01:07:35 if one day Pedro came into his office
01:07:39 How fucking furious
01:07:42 Tell me, Vincent.
01:07:45 Tell me what you think.
01:07:49 What?
01:07:54 I think...
01:07:59 I think you should tell the guy
01:08:02 behind me to put that gun down.
01:08:07 What did you say?
01:08:09 I said, I think you should tell the guy
01:08:12 before I take it and beat his
01:08:26 I picked up a tail.
01:08:28 - Federal?
01:08:32 That's why I tossed the list.
01:08:35 The workups, all of that shit.
01:08:38 To protect, in part, your...
01:08:42 ...Hermès, Façonnable ass.
01:08:50 What do you think,
01:08:55 But, hey,
01:08:57 shit happens.
01:08:59 Gotta roll with it. Adapt.
01:09:02 Darwin. I Ching.
01:09:06 - Has...?
01:09:08 the jazz man.
01:09:11 That leaves two.
01:09:22 Can you finish?
01:09:25 In six years...
01:09:30 ...when have I not?
01:09:32 Say it's Vincent.
01:09:34 I'm Vincent.
01:09:36 Say it's Vincent.
01:09:39 I'm Vincent.
01:09:41 Say it's Vincent.
01:09:43 I'm Vincent.
01:09:45 - Say it's Vincent.
01:09:47 - That's what I'm hearing.

01:10:19 And by the way,
01:10:23 I would like to offer you a discount.
01:10:27 For all my services, 25 percent.
01:10:31 - Very generous.
01:10:35 And, by the way...
01:10:40 ...Daniel said he was sorry.
01:10:47 Interesting.

01:15:04 L.A. 1 05 to L.A. 1 01. We copy that.
01:15:42 - You gonna call her?
01:15:44 You know, your lady friend. The one
01:15:48 - I don't know. Maybe, maybe not.
01:15:53 Pick up the phone.
01:15:56 Life's short. One day, it's gone.
01:16:04 You and I make it out of this alive,
01:16:08 That's what I think.
01:16:12 Anyway...
01:17:57 There he is. Hit it.
01:18:30 Let's do it.
01:18:40 The table towards the back
01:18:56 Wilke, take the right.
01:18:59 Clean shots. Watch your backgrounds.
01:19:02 L.A.P.D.
01:19:59 You move 1 5 feet ahead,
01:20:01 Wander, innocent bystanders
01:21:46 There's Lim. Second booth
01:21:59 Middle of the dance floor.
01:22:02 FBI! FBI! Get your hands in the air!
01:22:04 Get your hands in the air, Vincent!
01:22:06 - Freeze! Get your hands up!
01:22:10 FBI! Get your hands in the air!
01:22:13 Drop it!
01:22:16 - Freeze!
01:22:17 - I'm not Vincent.
01:22:20 Yo, put the gun down!
01:22:54 Pedrosa's been shot. Get an RA unit.
01:23:15 No, no, no! Wait, wait!
01:23:49 Hey, hey! Hold on. Hold on.
01:23:51 I'm Max! I'm Max! I'm a goddamn cab
01:23:54 I know. I know. I'm getting you out
01:24:36 - How'd you find me?
01:24:38 Just move it. Keep moving.
01:24:49 You're okay.
01:24:51 - How'd you find me?
01:24:54 You're okay. You're all right.
01:25:06 Let's go!
01:25:10 Let's go.
01:25:20 Go! Drive! Drive!
01:25:59 Only thing didn't show up
01:26:04 You're alive. I saved you.
01:26:09 Do I get any thanks? No.
01:26:16 You wanna talk?
01:26:19 Fuck off.
01:26:23 - You had to kill Fanning?
01:26:26 Fanning, the cop.
01:26:30 Why'd you have to kill him?
01:26:31 He's probably got a family.
01:26:35 He believed me.
01:26:37 Oh, I should've saved him
01:26:39 - No, no. Not that.
01:26:41 Well, yeah, that.
01:26:43 - It's what I do for a living.
01:26:45 - Head downtown.
01:26:48 How are you at math?
01:26:54 Why didn't you just kill me
01:26:58 Because you're good.
01:27:00 Fates intertwined.
01:27:02 - Come on. You full of shit.
01:27:05 You're a monument of it.
01:27:07 "All I am is taking out the garbage,
01:27:10 - Well, that's what you said.
01:27:14 - Then what'd they do?
01:27:17 They all got that "witness
01:27:22 Probably some major
01:27:24 who majorly does not
01:27:28 So that's the reason?
01:27:30 That's the why. There's no reason.
01:27:32 There's no good reason,
01:27:36 Then what are you?
01:27:38 Indifferent.
01:27:42 Get with it.
01:27:44 Millions of galaxies
01:27:46 and a speck on one in a blink.
01:27:49 That's us. Lost in space.
01:27:52 The cop, you, me,
01:27:54 who notices?
01:28:05 What's with you, man?
01:28:08 As in?
01:28:10 As in, if somebody had a gun
01:28:13 "You gotta tell me what's going on
01:28:15 or I'm gonna kill you.
01:28:19 What is driving him?
01:28:22 You know, you couldn't do it,
01:28:25 Because they would
01:28:27 because you don't know
01:28:32 I think you're low, my brother.
01:28:36 Like, what were you? One of those
01:28:40 Anybody home?
01:28:42 And... And the standard parts that
01:28:46 in you...
01:28:48 ...aren't.
01:28:54 And why haven't you killed me yet?
01:29:00 Of all the cabbies in L.A., I get Max,
01:29:05 Answer the question.
01:29:10 Look in the mirror.
01:29:12 Paper towels, clean cab,
01:29:15 - How much you got saved?
01:29:18 Someday?
01:29:22 One night you'll wake up,
01:29:25 It's all turned around on you.
01:29:31 Didn't happen.
01:29:33 And it never will, because you
01:29:36 You'll push it into memory,
01:29:39 being hypnotized by daytime TV
01:29:43 Don't you talk to me about murder.
01:29:45 All it ever took was a down payment
01:29:49 Or that girl.
01:29:54 What the fuck are you still doing
01:30:15 Because I never straightened up
01:30:18 Myself. I should have.
01:30:28 - Slow down.
01:30:30 It's got to be perfect to go.
01:30:35 I could've done it anytime
01:30:39 Red light.
01:30:47 But you know what? New news:
01:30:49 It doesn't matter anyway.
01:30:52 We're all insignificant out here
01:30:56 The Twilight Zone shit.
01:31:04 Says the badass sociopath
01:31:11 But you know what? That's the one
01:31:14 Because until now,
01:31:20 What does it matter?
01:31:24 What do we got to lose anyway, right?
01:31:27 - Slow down.
01:31:29 You gonna pull the trigger
01:31:31 - Go ahead, shoot my ass.
01:31:33 You gonna shoot me? You gonna
01:31:36 Well, shoot my ass, then.
01:31:39 - Slow down!
01:31:42 You know what, Vincent?
01:31:45 Go fuck yourself!
01:32:19 - Well, that was brilliant.
01:33:01 One-L-20, show me code six
01:33:04 on a TC with injuries.
01:33:05 - Copy your location.
01:33:10 Sir, you were involved in an accident.
01:33:13 An ambulance is on its way
01:33:15 You understand what I'm saying
01:33:21 Okay. Don't worry about the cab.
01:33:27 Relax and breathe.
01:33:43 Put your hands up.
01:33:44 Put your hands up. Face the cab.
01:33:48 - Go ahead and arrest me.
01:33:50 Take me to jail.
01:33:52 Don't move! Put your hands
01:34:02 One-L-20, I need a backup
01:34:17 - Put your gun down!
01:34:19 - Look, I gotta go.
01:34:21 Stop moving! Stop moving!
01:34:28 Clap your hands together.
01:34:30 Listen, somebody's gonna get killed
01:34:33 Now, cuff yourself.
01:34:36 I'm going to Sixth and Fig.
01:34:56 - Give me that.
01:35:27 Come on!
01:35:58 Come on. Go through.
01:36:02 Come on. Come on. Pick up.
01:36:23 Pick up.
01:36:26 Come on, girl.
01:36:29 Come on, pick up.
01:36:55 U.S. attorney's office.
01:36:56 - Annie!
01:36:57 It's Max.
01:37:00 Listen to me, all right?
01:37:01 - A guy named Vincent...
01:37:03 Listen to me, Annie.
01:37:06 It's kind of a strange time
01:37:08 Listen. Listen, Annie.
01:37:09 There's a man named Vincent.
01:37:13 - He's what?
01:37:17 He was scoping out the building
01:37:19 Okay, you know what?
01:37:22 some type of joke, it's not funny.
01:37:24 It's not a joke.
01:37:26 Felix hired him. Okay?
01:37:30 Felix Reyes-Torrena.
01:37:33 I don't understand what's going on.
01:37:35 All I know is that he's already killed
01:37:39 When I dropped you off,
01:37:41 but he ended up in my cab.
01:38:03 Annie.
01:38:05 Annie, listen. All I want you to do...
01:38:16 - I don't understand what's going on.
01:38:41 Get out of the building. Annie.
01:38:48 - I'm leaving the building right now.
01:38:52 - Max.
01:38:56 - Max.
01:38:58 - What floor?
01:38:59 I'm in the law library and files.
01:39:02 He's two floors below you,
01:39:04 In my office?
01:39:06 Listen, he does not know you're up
01:39:09 Max, are you sure
01:39:11 Listen, just stay there and just call
01:39:15 Max?
01:39:20 Shit.

01:44:43 Max!
01:45:03 - God. Felix Reyes-Torrena?
01:45:08 What do you mean,
01:45:10 I don't know. Look, when I
01:45:13 - He said his name is Vincent.
01:45:22 - Wait, wait, wait, wait.
01:45:27 This way. Come on.
01:45:57 Stay up. Stay up. Stay up.
01:45:59 - What we gonna do?

01:46:27 Wait, wait. Wait. Wait.
01:46:53 Stay down.
01:47:42 Shit.
01:47:51 There's a station.
01:48:34 Shit.
01:49:10 Max!
01:49:14 I do this for a living!
01:50:27 We're almost...
01:50:29 ...at the next stop.
01:50:33 Hey, Max.
01:50:38 A guy gets on the MTA here
01:50:48 Think anybody will notice?
