[Carruthers is in an elevator with Pasquale Acosta, who is pretending to be Bill, a dead security manager]
Pasquale Acosta "S.A. Gerald Diego":
[pretending his radio is dead]
I don't believe this. Battery's completely dead.
[Carruthers tries his mobile phone]
Pasquale Acosta "S.A. Gerald Diego":
Oh... forget it. Won't get a signal in here. You'll have to wait.
Donald Carruthers:
[points to the emergency phone]
Well, what about that line? Can't you contact your people with that?
Pasquale Acosta "S.A. Gerald Diego":
No, these phones are hard-wired directly to maintenance. But, once we reach the penthouse, I can call down, I'll have the elevators taken offline, sir.
[Mildly agitated, Carruthers looks down and notices something about 'Bill']
Stanley Locke:
[Carruthers' remembers Locke's briefing]
[voiceover]
Stanley Locke:
"Pasquale Acosta. Blood-money mercenary. "El Estrago" - "The Plague".
[Carruthers' notices Acosta's damaged fingertips]
Stanley Locke:
[voiceover]
"When he was caught by the SAS in Belfast, and in prison, he chewed off his fingertips to the bone."
Donald Carruthers:
[Carruthers becomes very suspicious]
Why don't you have maintenance do it?
Pasquale Acosta "S.A. Gerald Diego":
Do what, sir?
Donald Carruthers:
Shut the elevator down.
Pasquale Acosta "S.A. Gerald Diego":
An emergency shutdown of our entire elevated lift system, sir? No, that has to be handled by my staff, sir.
Donald Carruthers:
[becoming even more cautious]
How long have you been working here?
Donald Carruthers:
[slowly reaches for his gun]
Bill?
Staff:
[Acosta notices movement in the reflection of the elevator]
[Over the radio]
Staff:
Oh my God! I need an ambulance for Bill! I'm in the security room.
[Carruthers pulls his gun out, while Acosta turns around and impales him with his wrist blade. A shootout ensues between Carruthers and Acosta]
