-What about the tape?

-No sign of it.

But he called KBLA.

Fletcher's there to intercept.

I'll take care

of you one at a time.

We'll have more help down here.

Just be calm.

Sir! Sir! I've got to give this tape

to Mr. Machado or Abe Hewitt.

-They're very busy right now.

-Yes, but this is from Frank Murphy.

There's a crazy man in a helicopter.

I'll tell somebody you're here.

The most dangerous thing

is a man afraid for his job.

I'm Dick Fisher.

I'll get that to Mario if you'd like.

I have to give this to

Mr. Mocher or--

Machado.

I'm his producer. I'd be delighted

to bring it up to him.

I don't think so.

Can't we erase it?

lsn't that what the bug's for?

We don't know the code number.

Then erase them all.

-Why don't you give it to me--?

-Frank said to give it to Mr. Hewitt--

I'm Alf Hewitt. You're the lady

with the tape from Frank Murphy?

Your producer said that Mr.--

Who? I never saw this guy before

in my life. Come on, let's go.

Not so fast.

That's government property.

-Get your hands off me!

-Stop him!

Get this bastard off me!

Son of a b*tch!

I'll blow your head off!

Go, go, go! I got the tape!

March Control,

this is Little Brother One.

We have your target bearing 121

at 13 miles.

Request clearance to engage.

Over.

Roger, Little Brother.

This is March Control.

Affirmative.

Engage and destroy.

I repeat:

Engage and destroy.

There he is.

He's all yours, cookie.

Holy sh*t!

What?

Well, I'll be damned.

One of your missiles just took out

a barbeque shack down in Little Tokyo.

-Francis, isn't that Ray's district?

-Yes, it is.

You have his number?

Call him, or they'll call him

and he'll call us....

I'm on my way!

There he is, right there!

Everybody, this is an emergency!

-All right, clear the area.

-Clear the area!

Well, what do you know!

He froze.

Okay, he's all mine now, Cookie.

Oh, my God!

I'm hit, cookie!

I'm hit!

He blew my damn wing off!

Mayday! Mayday!

This is Little Brother One.

I'm ejecting!

We just lost an F-1 6 and the top

of the Arco Tower. Now what?

That's it. Call it off.

May I remind you there is a crazy man

up there with six 20 mm cannons?

I said to call it off.

Request permission for takeoff.

Colonel, hold your position.

Operation cancelled.

Repeat:
Hold your position.

Do not take off.

Thank you!

Back to base.

Rough her up? ls that a

euphemism for "assassination"?

She had street informants, and she'd

connected our project to the trouble--

Lollie, you ought to hear this stuff.

They sound like cops and feds.

They're stirring up the barrio

to prove what that chopper can do.

Tell Mario to go easy

on that "mad-sniper" stuff.

That cop may be the hottest

ticket since Horatius at the bridge.

All right, let's try this.

All right, where are you?

Damn it!

All right, Murphy. It's about time you

put your money where your mouth is.

One...

...two...

...three!

Come on, you tub of sh*t!

That's impossible!

Catch you later.

And now it's your turn.

The $5 million prototype was destroyed

when Officer Murphy, out of gas...

...set the helicopter down on the

tracks in front of a freight train.

That was the end of the helicopter,

but not of this story.

On the strength of a tape that

Murphy delivered to this reporter...

... the mayor's reopened the

investigation of McNeely's death...

... which might also be connected

with the death of Officer Lymangood.

Half a dozen local police officers...

...and several officials of the

State and Justice departments...

...have been detained for questioning.

Coming up, weather...

...and a preview of a bullet train

soon to be seen in the Southland.

Maybe.
