Flight Of Fury

Please restrain the patient.

Prepare for memory wipe.

Transport coming in.

Clear. Move along.

Call in the doctor.

Patient now prepared for procedure.

- He's all yours, doc.

- Thank you.

This won't hurt a bit.

In fact, you won't remember

a goddamn thing.

Yes. Now, then.

Do you mind, boss?

Good job. You know what to do.

You owe me, cabrn.

All clear, move it out.

You're clean, move out.

Code four, code four,

security breach.

We have a prisoner escape.

Open up.

Copy that. We're in pursuit

of the prisoner. We're in pursuit.

Nothing in here.

- All right, secure this area.

- Yeah, the truck is secured.

- That's clean.

- Okay.

- Just the one vehicle?

- It's all clear.

So, Ratcher, looks like

I'm you're wingman today.

You better be sharp up there,

Jannick.

The old man wants me to go full-bore,

I hope you can keep up.

- Hey, I'll be right on your ass.

- Yeah?

We'll see about that.

You know, you're a fortunate man,

getting to fly the new X-77.

I wish it was me up in that cockpit,

instead of flying the chase plane.

Luck of the draw.

Yeah, well, someday I'll get my shot.

You good to go?

See you at 20,000 feet.

Colonel Ratcher?

General Barnes would like to see you.

- The X-77 is ready to fly, general.

- Good.

I wanna be sure the active stealth

system is fully functional.

The shakedown isn't until next week.

Why are we...?

Insurance.

This little rehearsal will see me retire

with a third star on my shoulder.

Now, listen...

...this flight is off the record.

I want you to put that plane

through its paces, Ratcher.

We'll be tracking your progress

from Command Ops.

Mission countdown

in 20 minutes, sir.

Oh, and don't let me down, Ratcher.

I wanna see that plane disappear

as promised.

You got my word on that, sir.

One minute to countdown.

One minute to countdown.

You're clear for a runway.

This is Jannick.

F- 16 ready for takeoff.

Ready for takeoff.

X-77 to Control,

reaching cruising altitude.

F-16 confirming position of X-77.

I have visual contact.

Request permission

to engage active stealth.

Okay, what are we waiting for?

Let's go.

Control, confirming active stealth,

operational.

It's amazing, she's just gone.

Great. Good job, guys.

Okay, Ratcher,

disengage active stealth.

Disengaging.

All right,

let's move to the next phase.

Ratcher, take her to the second floor

and reengage.

Roger.

Ratcher, you're just having

too much fun out there.

You better believe it, baby.

All right, Jannick, war games

commencing. Try and catch me now.

Ratcher, I'm right on your tail.

Tracking target.

Got a lock.

Engaging active stealth.

Disengaging.

Coming around.

Target locked.

This is Jannick. I've been tagged.

He just came out of nowhere,

I couldn't even see him.

Good, shut her down

and bring her home.

Ratcher?

Jannick, do you have a visual?

Negative, sir, still no contact.

X- 77, come in.

Come in, X-77.

X- 77, report to Mission Control.

X- 77, come in.

Jannick, abort your mission

and return to base.

What the hell happened up there?

We just lost a $ 75-million plane.

Nothing happened up there, sir.

She just disappeared.

I was just following orders.

At least we know she works right.

We've gotta get it back.

And there's only one man I know

who can do that.

- That'll be $2.10.

- There you go.

- Here you go.

- Thanks.

See you later.

Hand over the f***ing money.

Give me the money!

Freeze, put your hands up.

He's the only one alive.

Okay, play back the security tape.

You'll see it was self-defense.

Let's go.

- What is that stuff?

- Look at that guy.

- That's awesome.

- He's kicking ass.

- Sorry, guys.

- Fine, you guys, let's take a break.

All right, let's get out of here, guys.

You get me some coffee.

Saunders,

get your fat ass into a cruiser.

- Yes, sir.

- Why don't you get out of the car...

...once in a while?

Walk the streets...

...and maybe a**holes like this

won't get all the press, we will.

What do we got?

Can't get no prints off this guy.

He's not in any of our data banks.

And to make things worse,

he ain't exactly talking.

Then we have nothing.

Well, we could book him

for stealing a car.

Come on, man,

it's not about stealing a car.

He was not involved in that robbery.

It was just self-defense.

So that's it, he walks?

We can hold him for 24 hours.

Here.

Get this over to the feds.

This guy is extraordinary.

He's unlike anything I've ever seen.

We may not know who he is,

but I bet they do.

Your coffee, sir.

I don't drink coffee.

Colonel Ratcher requesting

permission to enter airspace.

Sir.

Well?

What do you think?

Bring it to the barn.

So who are you?

You're not gonna talk to us?

- No, no, you know, I'm happy to talk.

- Then tell us.

Just a country boy.

Who's your employer?

I'm self-employed right now.

So, what is it you do?

Well, l...

- I travel a lot.

- I've seen you fighting, John.

That's no ordinary fighting.

- I grew up in a bad neighborhood.

- Sure.

There used to be something

called self-defense...

...but seems like

when you defend yourself...

...if you do it too good,

you get into trouble.

Tell me why we have no proof

that you're an active military.

Let's just see what the feds

have to say about that.

I'm in a talkative mood, so I'd love

to meet the feds and talk to them.

Let's just see what General Barnes

has to say about that.

General Barnes, Lord have mercy,

he's coming here?

Is he a friend of yours, John?

Well, I wouldn't say he was a friend

of mine, but I met him once.

Yeah, it was a long time ago.

You know?

Get the SEAL team in the air.

I want ground support...

- ... for the Stealth retrieval mission.

- This is Ranger team, Baker One.

C- 130 prepped

and ready for takeoff.

C- 130 airborne, on course to target.

E TA, three hours.

General, I wasn't expecting

this kind of response.

You don't know

who you're dealing with.

- John.

- Long time no see.

Thank you, detective.

We still have no proof

that he's active military.

Oh, I don't think

you need to worry about that.

I'll give you plenty of proof.

Another day,

another f***ing surprise.

John, I had no part

in what they tried to do.

It was stupid.

You were right to do what you did.

I don't take kindly

to having my memory wiped.

I don't know if it was right or not...

...but all I did was follow orders.

It's bizarre to get punished

for sh*t like that, ain't it?

Yeah, but you know a lot of things

that make a lot of people nervous.

I'm not the only one.

What do you wanna do?

One of our test pilots stole a plane...

...and it's got technology

that scares even the sh*t out of us.

You get it back for us...

...and I guarantee

you'll be a free man.

And I'm supposed to believe that?

- John, it's me.

- It's not really you I'm worried about...

...it's kind of the people you work for.

- Don't worry about that.

- I'll take care of them.

- I will be worried about it...

...but I suppose

I don't have much of a choice, so...
