Elevator scene in the federal reserve


I get that John figured they were the terrorists in the elevator with him pretending to be Cops because the idiot said "take the lift" instead of 'take the elevator' like normal North Americans, But how did looking at the guy's badge give it away that they were the bad guys? What was on the badge that John caught?

reply

He knew Ricky's badge number, because they referenced it earlier in the film. After Otto killed Ricky, he took his badge.

What Angel said. Ricky (at the beginning of the movie) said he used his badge number for the lotto the night before.

Back off, man; I support the reboot.

3 reasons:

1 - Raining dogs and cats (instead of cats and dogs)
2 - Take the lift (instead of elevator)
3 - And finally the badge
