with the other marshal.

Hang on. I wanna come with you.

JAGGER:
You're mine now.

Where I go, you go.

KARA:
Let me go,

or lose me forever. I'm serious.

JAGGER:
Hey, what are you doing?

Hey, Ty, what are you doing?

Hey! Hey! Let me go!

Let me go! Let me go!

- You sonofabitch!

- It's all over! Bye, bye!

- Cool move.

- 911 won't work for him.

That could be any of you.

Out team is now four strong.

MAN:
Did you everjump

those parachutes?

You never know where

they're gonna come down.

I got enough branches up my ass

to start a wood mill.

Hi, I'd like, er... maybe a...

I'll wait for you to come back.

Look at this guy. He's at our table?

I don't think he gets it.

Let's explain it.

This is gonna get messy.

Hey, guys. Oh, I'm sitting in your

seats? Sorry. Can I get you a beer?

BOTH:
Sure.

Come on.

You want me to move, just ask.

Get these guys a beer.

Get him a pillow.

- I'm Pete Nessip.

- Bob.

Nice to meet you, Bob.

See you up there.

Well, I see

you've met some skydivers.

You sure do make friends easy.

You blow my cover,

I'll bust your ass.

Looks like you're blowing

your own cover.

- Have a seat.

- I get into fights.

Look, buddy, at the moment, we're

the only cover you got. Have a seat.

All I want to do

is talk to your friend Jagger.

OK, here's what I want. There's a

exhibition jump in DC next weekend.

My parole officer won't let me go.

- Keep talking.

- You got a problem here.

The only way to learn

is to fly with the best.

You stick out like a cub scout

in a whorehouse.

Bad news.

I grease your parole officer,

you work me in, right?

And another thing...

BELL RINGS:

Burn in! Drinks up. Blue skies!

ALL SHOUT:
Black death!

- What the hell is that?

- Some skydiver burned in today.

- What does that mean?

- As in crash-landed. Dead.

They're gonna raise a toast

every hour till midnight.

- A great tradition (!)

- Who hammered in?

Jagger.

- Damn.

- Cops found cocaine on him.

He was stuck up

on some power lines.

Power lines?! He just floated

into the power lines?

Just what I heard. Sorry, Jessie.

- No, that's not possible.

- Jessie, where you going?

If you want my help,

pay for me and the airplane.

- How much?

- 15,000.

- 15,000?!

- What do you care?

- It's the government's money.

- I don't work for them any more.

I'll talk to you later.

What's up, man?

- Good news. Good news, Mr Moncrief.

- What's that?

Our client

found your offer interesting.

We're just a little concerned

that you used to work for the DEA.

"Used to" is why

I'm worth something.

Right. Your past leaves

a bad taste in our client's mouth.

You have to do better than that.

If it was bad, you wouldn't be here.

What I'm offering, no one else

in the world can provide.

And I'll prove it

by doing it once for free.

When we meet again, your boss

brings his wallet. Payment in full.

Simple as that. Then we have a deal.

Thanks for lunch. Let's go.

I'm not ready! I'm not ready!

LEEDY:

Torski, these are computers.

'Silent movies for 400, please.'

- 'Who was Jackie Cooper? '

- Jackie Coogan. Stupid...

- Gotta go.

- Give me some space.

Hey, how you doing?

I've got a surprise for you.

SILENCED GUNSHO:

My God! Too bad

we're not in the drug business.

- Come on. Leedy.

- I almost got it... There.

Can I help?

- Just get away!

- Two minutes, Earl.

- What can I do to help?

- Shh! I've got access.

I'm into the system.

- Take this to the evidence locker.

- You got it, babe.

Oh, baby, don't come down here.

- Elevator's coming up.

- Roger that.

Earl, we have to go now.

Here they come. Look at him.

We gotta go.

Don't rush me.

They'll know we were here.

You did good.

Stay... Go!

- We're moving, Torski.

- Gotcha.

TORSKl:
F***in' Leedy

threw up all over me!

'The daring theft netted criminals

over 50,000 worth of drugs,

'stolen from this enclosure.

'The thieves hid

until everyone had gone home.

'An Internal Affairs review

is underway,

'since access to these areas

is limited.

'Reporting from Miami headquarters,

I'm Diane Morales.'

Well, you're good. But so am I.

Here come your undercover agents.

Finally.

These narcs think they're allve!

Thanks. Carry on.

So, er... is that it? Am I done?

A little while longer.

Is this the other marshal?

You said you killed him.

- Don't worry.

- What? You killed his brother.

I'll take care of my end!

- Where's your car?

- Don't ask.

- Well, very cool bike.

- Air time.

- Where's my team?

- All right. They're upstairs.

MAN:
Looking good, guys.

Good formation.

JESSIE:
Hey, Bobby.

- Hey, Jess.

- How you doln'?

I'm getting a team for DC.

What about it?

- Hell, yes. You kidding?

- Cool. Seen Swoop around?

Not for a while. That crazy

bastard's living on the street.

I think I know where he's at.

We'll find him and Hockridge

and we've got a team.

Jessie. Hockridge is out.

He busted his ankle.

He wasn't even on a jump.

He slipped in the tub.

- But I could go.

- What have you logged? 20 jumps?

When was the last time

you saw me jump?

He's better. I've been

giving him extra air time.

- I'll slice the sky to pieces.

- I need someone who's good. Period.

I like his attitude.

He's got enthusiasm.

Enthusiasm can get you killed.

Thank you, Pete.

- I can get Burt next week.

- I can't deal with Burt.

All right, you're in.

But first, you're our mechanic,

so keep the plane flying.

If you hot dog, you're gone.

And Winona, keep a watch

on the extra air time.

Come on. I'm taking Pete.

We're gonna go find Swoop.

- Swoop? He's a nutcase.

- Swoop is cool! Swoop!

- I'm jumping, right?

- Jumping?

I need you allve

for my probation officer.

- I'm serious.

- So am I. I'm good,

but exhibition level in a week?

Jessie, I'm not gonna find

what I'm looking for down here.

I gotta go up there.

If I don't jump, we got no deal.

- OK, you train, but you don't jump.

- Way to go, kid.

JESSIE:
Swoop!

PETE:
Why are we up here again?

Swoop!

Swoop!

What would he be doing over there?

Swoop!

SWOOP:
Over here.

Hey, Swoop! What are you doing?

How about this? The fine folks here

asked if I'd do a few windows.

- I need you for a team.

- Really? What does it pay?

Nothing.

- All yourjumps are paid for.

- So, Jessie, are they paid for?

- Yeah.

- Didn't I just say that?

If he hasn't jumped with you,

he won't talk to you.

I'm going to have to require

a free T-shirt, Jessie.

- Can we get him one?

- He can have a T-shirt.

OK, free T, Swoop.

My lucky day. Give me a hand.

All right! It opened!

Hey, that ain't funny.

That ain't funny, man.

Did you know about this?

Found what you're looking for?

How long have you been following me?

Ever since you decided

to be my friend.

What's this about?

When a skydiver burns in, they

bring the rig in for inspection.

- And this is Jagger's.

- What?

There's nothing wrong with it.

He'd have had to screw up big,

and there's no way that happened.

He had help.

- Aren't these supposed to be metal?
