Blue Thunder Page #5

-They can't hear me.

-Shut up anyway!

-This pilot--

-Murphy. Frank Murphy.

Is that under control?

I don't want attention.

Blue Thunder might be seen

as a threat.

-Drop the hammer on him.

-What do you think?

I think, Mr. Holmes,

that I should take him out.

You mean kill him?

When?

As soon as possible.

Jesus Christ, Frank!

The boy loves me!

You got this on tape?

Every word of it.

Good.

Give him all the help he needs.

This conversation never happened.

If it gets back to me, I'll deny it.

Oh, sh*t!

We're in deep sh*t!

Let's get the hell out!

Tower, we have 330 degrees and 15.

Altimeter still 3000.

Clear to land?

1012 traffic, 1:
00

two miles north-eastbound.

It's a Cessna 182 to 5000 VFR.

Blue Thunder down at 2130.

Captain wants to see you

in the office right away.

-I'll get the tape's keycard.

-Be careful.

Yes, sir. I will.

Well, sir, he's--

He's not that--

Very well, sir.

I will.

All right, sir. I will.

Yes, thank you.

-Did you have a nice flight?

-I enjoyed it.

I hope so. It's

your last for a while.

-Now listen, Jack--

-No, you listen.

That's how it is from now on:

Captain:
talk.

Cop:
listen.

If I don't have an ass

when I get out of this chair...

...it's because

the old man chewed it off.

You're beautiful when you're angry,

but let's talk privately.

We don't have any secrets

from Mr. Icelan.

You're off the program.

You and your buddy Lymangood.

I'll be lucky if I'm not

in Pacoima tomorrow...

...driving a black-and-white.

Captain Braddock speaking.

Yes, sir.

He's here, colonel.

Guys, don't forget

to check under the hood.

Just gonna get my cuff links.

Who are you conning

with that phony radio sh*t?

For chrissakes, that went out 3 days

after Marconi invented it!

Captain Braddock speaking.

Yes, sir.

Yes, sir.

It's taken care of.

Who unlocked the memory bank?

That tall numb-nuts cop.

-Lymangood?

-You got it.

Get his gun!

Take it easy.

Pay attention. Pay attention!

-We don't wanna hurt you.

-We want the tape.

Let's be reasonable.

You'll give us what we want

sooner or later.

And I think you'd rather it be sooner.

Because first, we're gonna

break your fingers...

...then your arm,

then maybe your knees.

Now, I know you don't believe me...

...so I'm gonna show you.

Now, can it be sooner?

The tape.

It's in your car?

Check the car.

You wanna tell us where it is?

You wanna write it down?

Thattaboy!

All units, detain

and hold for questioning...

... Officer Frank Murphy...

...regarding the death

of Officer Lymangood.

Possibly driving

a black '79 Trans Am...

... California license,

909 King-Edward-Boy.

I want to get a confirmation on that.

This is Air-1 2 to Central.

Can we get a confirmation

on that dispatch?

Black '79 Trans Am. California

license 909 King-Edward-Boy.

Frank Murphy.

Detain and hold for questioning...

... in connection with the death

of Officer Richard Lymangood.

So far, so good.

Check out Big Brother's tape

in Blue Thunder to learn more.

I just heard about Lymangood.

I'm really sorry.

Call me if you want to talk.

-Here's your tea, colonel.

-Thank you.

Why don't we just blank the tape?

That's what it's

designed for, right?

They tell me Lymangood changed

the code numbers.

To go through every possible

combination would take forever.

The trouble is,

we don't have forever.

Hey, boss. How's it going?

Listen, I got the tape...

...but it's not safe

to take it home.

So I'm gonna--

There's this drive-in that I go to...

...at Riverside and Victory,

on the corner.

There's a dumpster in the back,

behind the concession stand.

And I'm pretty sure

they don't empty it until Monday.

So that's where I'm gonna

stash the tape, okay?

This is getting kind of fun, huh?

Cops and robbers, for real!

Well....

Good luck if you decide

to accept this mission.

This is Lymangood.

I forgot to tell you.

I found out what "JAFO" is:

"Just Another F***ing Observer. "

You're not supposed to be in there.

Get the f*** out!

You talking to me, a**hole?

Damn!

This is Special Base.

Come in.

Sh*t!

Los Angeles mobile.

Mobile, listen. Get me KBLA-TV.

That number's in your directory.

Don't give me static.

This is a police emergency.

Get me KBLA now!

Good afternoon, KBLA-TV.

I want to speak to Mario Machado

or Alf Hewitt.

They're out in the field.

Wanna leave a message?

Tell them

Officer Frank Murphy is calling.

I'm sending them a package.

Do you read me?

That's Frank Astro?

No, Frank Murphy. Astro Division...

...police emergency.

Got it, sweetheart?

Yeah, I got it.

Mobile? Mobile?

-Los Angeles mobile.

-Listen, I need another number.

Kate, it's Frank.

Where are you?

I've been worried sick.

I'm okay. Do me a favour

and pick up a package for me.

It's in a drive-in at the corner

of Victory and Riverside.

It's near the concession stand,

in a dumpster.

And then what?

Take it to KBLA-TV.

To Mario Machado or Alf Hewitt.

-Don't stop for anything or anybody.

-Got it.

-Thank you, baby.

-Bye.

Where is he now?

Over the Hollywood

and Ventura Freeway interchange.

Get the mayor's office on the phone.

We're gonna get the Air Force,

and now!

He called Channel 8 first.

The second call was to his girlfriend.

Forget about the police. Get our own

cars to her place and that TV station!

The bastard wants to go public!

-We'll stop that.

-We'd better!

Come on, move out!

Move, move!

-Damn it, I can't see nothing!

-There she goes!

Air-7 to Special One.

Air-7 to Special One.

Amigo!

Buenos das!

No sh*t, pendejo!

Set that thing down, man.

We got two choppers full of SWAT guys.

It's getting real cozy up here.

Return to base

or we're gonna open fire.

Come on, will you, Murphy?

All right, knock him down.

Okay, amigo, how's

your auto-rotation technique?

Son of a b*tch!

Damn it! Hang on!

Sorry about that, my friend.

Not again!

All right, chaps.

How'd you like to follow my leader?

-Pull up now!

-Pull up!

Okay, lady! Pull over!

Is there a problem, officer?

A den mother in a Vega, right?

Now play it very cool. I need

your license and your registration.

Sure.

-I think I left them--

-Get out of the car.

Channel 8 is bringing you live

coverage of a helicopter hijacking.

Stay inside your homes.

There's a sniper over Los Angeles.

We've already lost one police car

and two helicopters.

Well, what now, gentlemen?

I don't plan on losing

more helicopters.

May I introduce Colonel Coe

of the Air Force?

A couple of F-1 6s are standing by

at March Field.

-F-1 6s?

-We can take him out now.

-All you've got to do is say the word.

-The F-1 6 is armed with rockets.

The potential destruction

of innocent life is unimaginable.

The F-1 6 is armed

with heat-seeking missiles.

We can surgically remove him.

Like a tumour.

We're not talking about a tumour.

You gotta make a right there!

You're really riding with the angels.

Thattagirl.

Good work!

Ray lcelan at Astro says they've

scrambled two F-1 6s out of March.
