(mysterious voice): Hello? Is this Officer Lee?
Lee: Who is this?
(mysterious voice): You know who this is. You've been talking about me, haven't you?
Lee: Mr. Pham? What do you want?
Pham: Meet me at the observation deck of the Empire State Building, east side, in 30 minutes. Do not use elevator B. I know there are people listening to our conversation right now, I am not a dumbass. Tell them they cannot come with you.
Lee: Hey…
Pham: If you do not arrive on time, if you use elevator B, if you bring anyone along, I swear…
Lee: What?
Pham: I will set off the bomb.

Lee: Hello? Hello? Damn… he hung up!
Lam: Well, then… we only have one choice.
Carter: Go kick his ass!
Lam: No. Follow his directions.
Carter: ARE YOU KIDDING ME? This is BULLSHIT! We can't let him boss us around like that! Aren't you the NYPD?
Lam: No. The risk is too large. You heard him. The last thing we want to happen is a bomb going off in the middle of New York. Don't worry, Lee. We'll keep on your back.
Carter: (mockingly) Don't worry, Lee. We'll pick you up after you're dead.
Lee: (surprised) You're not going, Carter?
Carter: Are you kidding? I'm gonna get killed up there! Who knows what this guy wants? I told you this was not a good idea, Lee. Now look, we've missed the game!
Lee: I'll go by myself then, Inspector.
Lam: (on radio) Special teams unit, move out! Code 16 emergency 25-4 2 blocks away.
(talking to Lee) Lee, we will stay two blocks away from the Empire State Building.
Carter: You want him killed?
Colleague2: It's better if you go by taxi, Lee. Make sure you follow all of his directions…
Lam: Do whatever he says. Now go!
