![]() ![]() Payne hijacks a subway train, handcuffs Annie to a pole, and sets the train in motion while Jack pursues them. Jack follows them into the Metro Red Line subway, where Annie is wearing a vest covered with explosives rigged to a pressure-release detonator. Realizing he has been fooled, Payne poses as a police officer and seizes Annie and the money. Jack and Mac head to Pershing Square to drop the ransom into a waste can. Out of fuel, the bus slows to 50 mph and explodes as it collides with an empty Boeing 707 cargo plane. The bus suffers a flat tire, forcing Jack and Annie to escape via a floor access panel. Mac has a local news crew record the transmission and rebroadcast it in a loop to fool Payne, while the passengers are offloaded onto an airport bus. Once pulled back aboard by the passengers, Jack learns that Harry has died and that Payne has been watching the passengers on the bus with a hidden video camera. Jack rides under the bus on a towed sledge, but he cannot defuse the bomb, and accidentally punctures the fuel tanks when the sledge breaks from its tow line. Harry leads a SWAT team to Payne's home, but the house is rigged with explosives which go off, killing Harry and most of his team in the process. Meanwhile, Harry identifies Payne's name, his former role as a retired Atlanta bomb squad officer, and his local Los Angeles address. He directs her to the nearby Los Angeles International Airport to drive on the unobstructed runways. When Jack learns that part of the elevated freeway ahead is incomplete, he persuades Annie to accelerate the bus and jump the gap. Payne allows the officers to offload the injured Sam for medical attention, but then detonates a smaller bomb which kills another passenger who attempts to escape. Mac demands they offload the passengers onto a pacing flatbed truck, but Jack warns about Payne's instructions. The police clear a route for the bus to the unopened 105 freeway. Jack examines the bomb under the bus and phones Harry, who uses clues to identify the bomber. Another passenger, Annie Porter, takes the wheel. He explains the situation to the driver Sam, but a small-time criminal, fearing Jack is about to arrest him, fires his gun, accidentally wounding Sam. Jack races through freeway traffic and boards the moving bus, which is already over 50 mph. The bomber demands a larger ransom of $3.7 million and threatens to detonate the bus if passengers are offloaded. The bomb will arm once the bus reaches 50 miles per hour (80 km/h) and detonate when it drops below 50. Payne, still alive, contacts Jack on a payphone, explaining that a similar bomb is rigged on another bus. Some time later, Jack witnesses a city bus explode. Jack and Harry are praised by Lieutenant "Mac" McMahon and awarded medals for bravery. ![]() Payne turns away, appearing to die in the explosion of his own device. Jack shoots Harry in the leg, forcing the bomber to release Harry.
