An assassin held up a gun. An officer remained steady and said, "You're not going to get away with this. Put the gun down."
    Earlier in the day, James "Popeye" Doyle was taking a solemn walk. His eyes were focused on the ground. He came upon a woman pushing around a baby carriage when there were about 5 gun shots fired his way.
   The woman fell down dead instantly.
   "Get out of here!" Doyle shouted to women who walked near the dead mother. The baby was shrieking in the carriage. The woman lay still. Doyle was on the ground, under cover by a tree.
   On a sunny day, an assassin fired two more shots from a roof top building nearby. Doyle ran alongside the building, trying to see the sniper. He entered the building and ascended to the top, where he found an abandoned weapon and 7 bullet shells.
    From a distance, Doyle could see a man running. Without hesitation, Doyle ran out of the building and chased down the assassin. However, when the two ran onto the train platform, Pierre Nicoli was able to board the train.
   Doyle could not.
   To get to the next stop before the assassin could escape, Doyle ran under the train overpass to use someone's car. One cream-colored car swerved out of the way when Doyle waved his arms above his head and stood in front of the car.
   He attempted another time. The next car, a brown, 1970s passenger car headed in the opposite direction of the train stopped for him.
   "I need your car," Doyle said. The man stepped out and asked when he would get it back. Doyle sped away with a U-turn, smoke furling out from under the tires.
   Doyle followed the train under the overpass for several miles. Doyle honked and slammed on his breaks multiple times. Despite his cautious efforts, he was side-swiped on the right side of his vehicle but a white car that was crossing an intersection.
  Doyle didn't stop.
  His eyes loomed out the windshield and watched the train. With his eyes distracted, a woman with a baby stroller walked in front of his speeding vehicle. She turned her head towards him. Eyes wide, she screamed.
   Tires screeched as Doyle served to avoid her.
     Meanwhile, Nicoli caught the eye of police officer Sonny Grosso. Nicoli moved from each train car until he reached that closest to the conductor. Witness Stephanie Lawrence gave fairly good accuracy in recounting the events on the train and said that Nicoli was banging loudly on the door.
   "At first I thought he was a friend of the conductors," Lawrence said. "But then he started banging loudly on the door. It was obvious he wasn't going to leave until he got in."
    Once the train passed its stop, Lawrence said she knew something was wrong. Train officials in black uniforms with small American flags sewed on walked towards the conductor's pit. Other passengers followed.
  "That's when I stood up," Lawrence said. "The assassin came out and that's when I saw a gun. He aimed it at the first officer but it was pointed towards all of us."
    Finally, Doyle arrived at where the train was supposed to stop next, so he sped up to beat it. He ran to the platform, but the train didn't stop.
   The assassin hijacked the train.
   Doyle got back into his car and followed the train.
