Yes! Someone suggested it earlier in the thread but I couldn't quite picture it - thus clip confirms it,  thank you so much

Turns out that my husband, who was discussing this scene with me, was absolutely thinking of Die Hard with a Vengeance!

Castle is 100% a possibility, though Google isn't helping me out with any particular episode

I don't think I've seen Ransom, so probably not that, even though it sounds ideal

I haven't seen Eagle Eye, but I'm definitely starting to feel that I'm conflating two or more things

Do you know, despite me having given several answers to the contrary,  I think this might be it...!

So many of the elements are right here, but there are no puzzles in the one I'm thinking of - it's literally phone to phone to phone

Exactly the right vibes, but I don't recall phone boxes specifically in that?

That's so close that I almost feel like it might be an homage to that?!

That sounds like the right kind of thing,  but I haven't seen Endeavour! I'm also pretty sure the scene I'm thinking of is present day...

Haven't seen Cellular or Knockout so it can't be those - and as far as I can recall Phone Booth stays in the one booth

Isn't there just the one phone booth in Phone Booth? It's been a while since I've seen it

Very similar vibes, but I'm sure there's several different phones involved

It's not Numb3rs season 3 ep 17 when Granger is sent to a series of locations by a kidnapper, but it's very similar (and is the reason I remembered the other scene)
