Flight of Black Angel Page #2

I DON'T THINK THERE'S

ANY PILOT WHO WORKS HARDER.

MAYBE A LITTLE TOO HARD.

THE OTHERS:

DON'T CARE FOR ME.

THEY NEVER HAVE.

YOU'RE NOT HERE TO BE LOVED.

YOU'RE HERE TO BE THE BEST.

THIS ISN' A POPULARITY CONTEST.

YOU'VE ALWAYS KEP AN EYE ON ME,

HAVEN'T YOU?

YEAH.

YOU'RE THE ONE TO WATCH.

I'M THE ONE?

HMM?

THANK YOU, SIR.

SEE YOU UP THERE.

GIVE 'EM HELL.

[CLEARS THROAT]

YES, SIR.

THINKING ABOU GROUNDING HIM?

NO. I THINK

HE'LL BE ALL RIGHT.

IT'S YOUR CALL,

MATT.

LET ME SEE:

HOW HE PERFORMS TODAY.

COME IN.

HI. CAPTAIN GORDON,

HOW ARE YOU DOING?

FINE, FINE.

UH, DID YOU HAVE

A GOOD WEEKEND?

WILD TIMES. READ A BOOK,

CLEANED THE KITCHEN.

HOW WAS YOURS?

FINE.

IT WAS FINE.

WE NEED A COUPLE

OF CHANGES MADE:

TO THE FLIGHT MANIFES FOR THIS AFTERNOON.

COLONEL RYAN WANTS YOU

TO PLUG THEM INTO THE COMPUTER

AND SEND THE CHANGES

OVER TO MAINTENANCE.

"HOT MISSILES

AND EXPLOSIVE SHELLS"?

YEAH. WE'RE GONNA FLY

SOME TARGET RUNS

OVER THE GUNNERY RANGE.

WHY ARE WE ONLY:

LOADING YOUR PLANE?

I GUESS SOMEBODY THINKS

I NEED THE PRACTICE.

AN ECM POD?

WHY DO YOU NEED:

A RADAR JAMMER?

FOR REALISM.

WAIT A SECOND.

RYAN CAN'T WAN IRON BOMBS.

HE MUST'VE MADE

A MISTAKE.

I'M GONNA CHECK

WITH HIM ON THIS.

DON'T.

[KNOCKS ON DOOR] BOBBY!

NOW CALL UP A B.D.U.

B.D.U.?

THAT'S A DUMMY BOMB.

YEAH, DO IT.

OK, NOW BRING UP

THE SERIAL NUMBERS

IN THE STORAGE:

WEAPONS AREA.

NOW CHANGE:

THE SERIAL NUMBER ON MY B.D.U.

TO AF-463908-SW.

CAPTAIN,

THAT'S A SPECIAL WEAPON.

OH, JEEZ.

I CAN'T DO THIS.

I MEAN, IT WON'T FLY.

I'M NOT AUTHORIZED.

I'M AUTHORIZING YOU.

I CAN'T LOAD

A TACTICAL NUKE:

ON A TRAINING FLIGHT.

IT HAS TO GO:

THROUGH S.A.C.

THAT'S NOT YOUR PROBLEM.

I CAN'T.

I WON'T.

YOU SHOOT, AND EVERYONE

WILL BE IN HERE.

ALL RIGHT.

OK.

[STRUGGLING]

[CRACK]

MELISSA?

HELLO?

LET'S GO. CHECK OU THAT HARNESS.

YOU GOT IT.

1521 COMIN' THROUGH.

MOVE IT, GUYS.

WE GOT A PROBLEM.

THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE

A MODE 2 DUMMY BOMB.

WELL, IT'S NOT.

WE'RE TALKIN'

SERIOUS PROBLEMS HERE, SIR.

THIS IS A MODE 1,

SW SERIES.

WE DON'T NORMALLY

MOUNT THESE ON MIRAGES.

THEY DON'T HAVE

THE PROPER RELEASE SYSTEM.

OK.

UM,

COULDN'T WE JUST FORGE THE EXTRA PINS,

AND, UH,

MOUNT IT ON:

A CONVENTIONAL BRACKET?

I GUESS I COULD.

IT'S NOT LIKE

YOU'RE GONNA DROP IT,

OR ANYTHING.

I MEAN, IT'S A DUMMY.

WHAT'S THE POINT?

YEAH.

YOU GOT ME, SERGEANT.

I, UH--

I'M JUS FOLLOWIN' ORDERS

LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE.

I DON'T GET THIS.

THERE'S GOTTA BE A MISTAKE.

WHY DON'T WE PUT ON

A MODE 2?

NO,

UH,

NO, YOU BETTER STICK

TO THE MANIFEST.

UH,

INTELLIGENCE:

HAD A HAND IN IT.

MILITARY INTELLIGENCE...

IT'S LIKE JUMBO SHRIMP,

YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?

HEH.

HELL, THEY DON'T PAY ME

TO THINK.

COME ON! TAKE I TO THE HOOP!

NICE SHOT.

LET'S SEE THAT KIND

OF CONCENTRATION

IN THE AIR TODAY.

WE'RE GONNA KICK BUT TODAY, SIR.

I APPRECIATE YOUR

FIGHTING SPIRIT, LIEUTENANT,

ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING

YOUR DOGFIGHT SCORES

HAVE BEEN SO PATHETIC.

MAYBE THAT'S NO OUR FAULT, SIR.

OOH, IT'S

THE BLACK ANGEL.

YEAH, WELL,

CAPTAIN GORDON'S GOOD.

BUT SO ARE THE REST OF YOU,

OR YOU WOULDN' HAVE MADE IT THIS FAR.

THE DIFFERENCE IS,

WHEN HE'S UP THERE,

HE BELIEVES IT'S REAL.

THAT'S 'CAUSE HE'S A NUT.

YOU'RE OUTTA LINE.

GORDON DOES:

WHAT YOU'VE ALL GOTTA DO,

TAKE THIS SERIOUSLY.

IT IS NOT A GAME.

YOU ARE EITHER:

A FIGHTER PILOT,

OR YOU ARE A TARGET.

THE CHOICE IS YOURS.

NOW, I'M NOT HERE

JUST TO TEACH YOU

TO SCORE KILLS.

I AM TRYING TO TEACH YOU

HOW NOT TO DIE,

AND BELIEVE ME, GENTLEMEN,

UP THERE,

DYING IS EASY.

NOW HIT THE SHOWERS

AND SUIT UP.

[SIRENS

AND POLICE RADIOS]

YOU SAID:

THERE'S AN OLDER SON.

MM-HMM.

DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA

WHERE HE MIGHT BE?

BLACK ANGEL,

PREPARE TO LEAVE.

LAST CHANCE,

NUMBER ONE,

YOU'RE CLEARED

FOR TAKEOFF.

Gordon:
UH, BLACK ANGEL

AFFIRMATIVE FOR TAKEOFF.

UH, ROGER, GROUND.

SWITCHING TO TOWER

AT THIS TIME.

BLACK ANGEL,

THIS IS RINGLEADER.

DO YOU READ, OVER?

THIS IS BLACK ANGEL.

I READ YOU, COLONEL,

LOUD AND CLEAR.

WE ARE ENTERING THE AREA

AT THIS TIME.

PREPARE FOR ENGAGEMENT.

ROGER.

BANDIT APPROACHING

AT ANGELS 2-2 AND CLIMBING.

BEARING 1-7-0.

RINGLEADER,

THIS IS DRAGONFLY.

I GOT A GOOD PAINT ON HIM.

READY TO BREAK:

ON YOUR SIGNAL.

HOLD ON, DRAGONFLY.

COLONEL, THIS IS BULLDOG.

REQUEST PERMISSION

TO ENGAGE BANDIT.

DRAGONFLY'S UP FIRST.

LET ME TAKE HIM, SIR.

ALL RIGHT, BULLDOG.

PERMISSION GRANTED.

BUT REMEMBER, THIS ISN' A GRUDGE MATCH.

KEEP YOUR COOL.

YES, SIR.

JESUS, THAT'S HORRIBLE.

OF COURSE,

WE'LL INFORM HIM

RIGHT AWAY.

AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

RIGHT. WE'LL SEND HIM

RIGHT OVER.

THANKS FOR CALLING,

DETECTIVE.

CAPTAIN GORDON'S FAMILY.

THEY'VE ALL BEEN MURDERED.

OH, MY GOD.

SHOULD I RECALL HIM?

NO.

NO, LET HIM FLY.

I'LL BREAK THE NEWS TO HIM

AFTER HE'S LANDED.

ALL RIGHT, GORDON,

YOU SON OF A B*TCH,

YOU WANT HEAD-ON?

WE'LL PLAY IT YOUR WAY.

[BEEPING]

COME ON.

COME ON.

YES.

[BEEPING]

HA HA! ALL RIGHT!

I GOT YOU, BASTARD!

HE'S BEEN HIT! OH, MY GOD!

BULLDOG'S REALLY BEEN HIT!

BLACK ANGEL:

IS OUT OF IT, COLONEL!

HE IS SHOOTING FOR REAL!

REPEAT,

HE IS SHOOTING FOR REAL!

WHAT THE HELL:

ARE YOU TALKIN' ABOUT?

MAYDAY! MAYDAY! MAYDAY!

MAYDAY!

JESUS CHRIST!

WHAT DO WE DO?

WHAT DO WE DO?

DRAGONFLY, COUGAR,

RETURN TO BASE NOW.

BLACK ANGEL, COME IN.

COME IN, EDDIE.

DAMN IT, TALK TO ME!

DON'T JAM ME, EDDIE!

CONTROL, THIS IS RINGLEADER.

WE HAVE A PLANE DOWN.

ONE OF OUR PLANES IS DOWN.

WE HAVE A POSSIBLE

LOOSE CANNON SITUATION.

DO YOU READ?

A RENEGADE PILOT...

COLONEL,

WE HAVE A PROBLEM.

WHERE THE HELL IS HE?

I GOT HIM!

COMIN' IN ON MY 6!

GET HIM OFF ME!

STEADY, DRAGONFLY,

LISTEN TO ME.

STEADY, DRAGONFLY, STEADY!

HE'S GOT TONE!

HE'S GOT TONE!

BREAK RIGHT! BREAK RIGHT!

I CAN'T SHAKE HIM.

AAH! HE'S FIRING!

GOD, NO!

RINGLEADER,

THIS IS COMMAND.

COME IN.

WHAT'S GOING ON

UP THERE?

I NEED TO SPEAK TO YOU

ON SECURE VOICE.

SWITCH TO WINCHESTER

BACKUP, OVER.

SWITCHING NOW.

WINCHESTER?

CONTROL, DO YOU READ?

AFFIRMATIVE, RINGLEADER.

SIR, WE HAVE A DEFINITE

LOOSE CANNON SITUATION.

BLACK ANGEL IS ARMED,

JAMMING RADAR,

2 PLANES DOWN.

WE'RE SITTING DUCKS

UP HERE.

NO WEAPONS AT ALL.

MATT, FOR GOD'S SAKES,

RETURN TO BASE:

IMMEDIATELY.

THAT'S NOT ADVISABLE.

I THINK HE'S GOT BOMBS.

IS RED FLAG HOT?

I'M GONNA LEAD HIM

INTO THE S.A.M. RANGE.

THE RANGE IS HOT,

BUT THIS IS A NEGATIVE.

REPEAT, NEGATIVE.

ANY PLANES ON ALERT?

NO, SIR.

HOW LONG TO GENERATE

AN ARMED FLIGHT?

15 MINUTES, MINIMUM.

DO IT.

YES, SIR.

ALSO ALERT THE RED FLAG

S.A.M. INSTALLATIONS.

SIR, THE S.A.M.s COULD

TAKE OUT COLONEL RYAN

AS WELL.

I KNOW.

COLONEL, HE'S ON MY TAIL!

EDDIE, LISTEN TO ME.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON

IN YOUR HEAD,

BUT I WANT YOU:

TO RETURN TO BASE.

DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME?

I WANT YOU TO BRING

YOUR PLANE DOWN NOW.

COLONEL, HE'S ON ME!

I CAN'T SHAKE HIM!

JESUS!

EDDIE, LISTEN TO ME.

YOU DON'T KNOW WHA YOU'RE DOING.

BRING YOUR PLANE DOWN.
