As the tension mounts beneath his feet, Garber employs his vast knowledge of the subway system in a battle to outwit Ryder and save the hostages. But theres one riddle Garber can't solve: even if the thieves get the money, how can they possibly escape?

Ryder "We all owe God a death, I told you that."
Walter "You're wrong, Ryder. We owe God life."
Ryder "Life. And that's the life I gave you back today. And now you have to give me something back, You got a gun in your hand, I want you to use it. Shoot me."
Walter "I will shoot you. I don't want to, but I will."
Ryder "I thought you cared. You said: 'Ryder. Ryder, don't you have anyone who cares?"
Ryder "I thought that was you."
I think people missed the point to this movie.
