Cloak & Dagger Page #6

You can't

leave, Jack.

I have to, kid.

You're growing up now.

Listen...

Do me a favor,

will you?

Go get me a smoke.

Over there.

Jack,

where are you?

Come back. I can't

do it on my own.

Yes, you can.

You were

always on your own.

Save Kim, Davey.

The white zone

is for the immediate loading

and unloading

of passengers only.

There is no parking.

Hi. I'm David Osborne's

father.

Oh, yes.

I know.

Is Kim here?

Isn't she

at your house?

No, she's not.

Look, I just got

a call from David...

Come here. I want to

show you something.

I just got back here.

And look at this.

Is this another one

of your son's games?

I don't think so.

I need the phone.

What is it?

Operator.

Operator, let me

have the police.

This is an emergency.

My name is

Sergeant Osborne.

I'd like to speak

to Lieutenant Fleming.

Is it Kim?

Is she...

Why is he trying

to reach me?

Two men were shooting

at a young boy.

I'll have Fleming call...

Wait a minute!

I'll hold on.

If you can connect me

with the lieutenant,

I'll hold on, ok?

Two men are dead

down at the river.

They were shooting

at a kid Davey's age.

You and me better get

to that airport.

Sir, which is

the airport bus?

That one over there.

Is this the bus

to the airport?

Uh-huh.

I lost my bus pass.

75 cents.

I don't have it.

Have to get off,

then.

Can't let you ride

for free.

But you have to!

Listen, I'll pay you

when I get to the airport.

Sorry.

Flight 146 to Mexico City

is about to board at Gate 15,

Concourse "B."

Thanks.

Mister,

take me to the airport.

You got any money, son?

Yeah, lots.

10 bucks in advance.

I don't

have that much,

but I have to get...

Forget it, kid.

Listen, I don't

have any money,

but I got to get

to the airport.

I'll find some way

to pay you

when we get there.

It's a matter of

life and death.

What happened

to your leg?

Nothing.

Look, maybe we better

get you to a hospital.

That leg doesn't look

too good.

I don't have time

for that.

If I don't

get to the airport,

a girl is going

to die.

Get in.

I was going home

that way anyway.

How long

will it take?

This time of night

about 10 minutes.

But you have to stop them

from getting on the plane.

You see, they have

the "C" and "D" tape.

What?

A Cloak

and Dagger tape,

you know,

a game cartridge.

Only it has stolen

government plans in it.

What does this couple

look like?

I don't know.

Kind of old.

The woman only

has 2 fingers.

Maybe it was three.

I forget.

Will you just stop

that plane from boarding

before they take off

in it?

I think we better

talk to the chief.

11:
47.

Can't we go

any faster?

I only have

a few more minutes.

Yes, sir, boss.

You mind

hand-searching that?

I don't want to put it

through that electrical doodad.

That's all the

description you've got?

I told you

we got cut off!

Look, all you got to do

is check their fingers. Jeez!

Transcon Flight 146

now boarding at Gate 15.

That's their flight!

All right, let me just

get this down here.

But there isn't time!

The white zone is

for immediate loading

and unloading of

passengers only.

There is no parking

in the white zone.

Wait here. I'll find

some way to pay you.

Forget it, kid.

Thanks.

Southwest Flight 2 arriving

from Houston/Austin...

How do I

find somebody?

Tell me their name,

and I'll have them paged.

Uh, Kim Gardener.

Kim Gardener, please report

to the information counter.

Kim Gardener to the

information counter.

Did they call my name?

I don't know.

I wasn't listening.

What's your mother's

name and phone number?

I think they just said

Kim Gardener. That's me.

Just a couple

more questions, ok?

Have you seen

a little girl around 8?

She has blonde hair?

Is she boarding

on this flight?

Stop them!

Just a second,

there, son.

But they have

the cartridge!

I'm sorry, son. You'll

just have to go around

and wait your turn.

Who you with anyway?

Mom, Dad!

Please don't leave me!

Are they your folks?

Just a minute, folks.

Would you mind

coming back here, please?

Uh, the plane's

already boarding.

It'll wait. Let's get

this straightened out first.

Transcon Flight 6

from Miami/Atlanta

is now arriving

at gate 17.

Is this your boy?

Do we look like we could

have a boy that age?

You putting

me on, son?

No, sir. I can prove

they're my folks.

How?

Look inside

that bag over there.

You'll find one of

my game cartridges...

Cloak and Dagger.

May I see that

bag, please?

Officer,

this boy is lying.

We've never seen him

before in our lives.

I still would like

to see that bag.

Will you give it

to me, please?

Ok, thank you.

Kim!

Davey!

Give me your

walkie-talkie.

He grabbed

the gun!

Eunice,

grab the kid.

Please, stay back.

Stay where you are!

This has

a bom...

Here,

Lieutenant.

Take a look

at this.

What have

you got?

Come on.

We'll begin

boarding passengers

seated in rows

1 through 15.

What's

going on here?

Stay back!

Get over there!

Oh, my leg!

Davey! Davey!

Out of the way!

They're wanted by the FBI

for selling military secrets,

which were smuggled in

children's video cartridges.

What about my son?

They've got divers

down there now.

Did this

belong to him?

God.

Why didn't

I believe him?

Lieutenant

Fleming?

A hijacking

at Gate 15.

Hijacking?

I want a Code 3.

Code 3.

What happened?

2 people have kidnapped

a little boy...

Kim!

Mom!

Oh, honey, I was

so worried about you.

They've got

Davey out there.

What did they say?

If they can't get

a pilot

to fly 'em to Cuba

within 5 minutes,

they're going

to kill him.

My God.

What are you going to do?

FBI is sending over

their resident agent.

How long

before he gets here?

It'll be a few minutes.

I just talked to them.

A few minutes?

That may be too late.

My son's on that airplane.

He says we got

3 minutes.

He's bluffing.

He's bluffing

with my son's life.

Let me go out there.

I'm a staff sergeant

out at Kelly Field.

I'm licensed

to taxi airplanes.

Forget it.

He won't

negotiate.

I think he's

flipping out.

What do I do?

Tell him a pilot's

coming out there.

Wait a minute!

Wait a minute!

Listen to me.

They might even buy

the uniform,

but what happens

when they expect you

to take that plane

in the air?

I'll fake it.

One more minute, and I blow

this kid's brains out.

But this

thing has...

Shut up! Shut up!

George, remember

your blood pressure.

Darn kid's messing

everything up.

Calm down.

As long as we've

got the boy,

they'll have to

give us a pilot.

Which one do I pull?

Jack?

Here comes

someone now.

Oh.

Jack, please come back.

I didn't mean

to throw you away.

I need your help.

Who are you?

I'm the pilot.

I'm not armed.

Turn around.

Frisk him.

Where's the boy?

He's all right.

He's back there.

He's clean.

Close the door.

Get into

the cockpit.

No funny

business,

or I'll blow

your head off.

Watch him,

George.

Help me, Jack.

What are you doing?
