Nighthawks Page #2

---

Don't litter.

- You littered.

- So arrest me!

Our mutual contacts insisted

that I see you today.

Normally I do not operate on Sunday.

You must be quite important to them.

Make yourself comfortable, I will show you

photos which will help you choose.

Please have a seat.

This one would be perfect for your face.

Notice the contours,

strong and well-defined.

Not for me.

With the nostril more open then.

Not for me.

What do you want?

A smaller nose

and do something with his jaw line.

Yes, of course.

And the eyes can be made blue

with lenses?

Yes, I think we can do that.

Good, but do it fast.

What do you want exactly?

I want to be beautiful.

- Lieutenant?

- Right here.

I just got these latest transfer orders...

Don't sing me no operas today.

I don't feel good and I'm rushed.

I'm not singin' any operas.

I'm talkin' about these transfer orders.

Look, come on, Munafo.

For nine years I've been workin' decoy.

Now I'm pulled and I'd like to know why.

Look, you don't know me well enough to

call me Munafo, but I know you, DaSilva.

The gung-ho Lone Ranger

of the street-crime unit, huh?

You can forget about that.

We've been asked to cooperate

with the Special Federal State Unit.

- You two are assigned to an ATAC group.

- Come on! Terrorism, hijack, hostages...

That's FBI stuff.

What do they want with us?

Your military records had

something to do with it.

How many times you been

hospitalized this year? Five?

Consider this squad a vacation from decoy.

- I don't need a vacation from decoy.

- Oh, yes, you do.

They need someone

who knows the local rat holes.

- Anything goes down, you're the man.

- Where did this come from?

The commissioner. He got it from

Washington. Specialists from Europe...

...Interpol, will help organize it

in conjunction with Federal funding.

And this department will extend

every courtesy, understand?

- No, I don't...

- Get your hands off me!

Understand this, sucker! You're a cop

and you'll go where you're assigned!

Now you and Tonto be here tomorrow

at eight o'clock sharp! End of story!

Damn!

High-gain antennae,

four mobile units, two on wheels...

...plus one helicopter and

another moored at the battery.

Direct telex... to Interpol Paris

and all of Western Europe.

Computer banks which

give total information.

Retrieval on every known

terrorist in the world.

Some of you may wonder

why you have been selected.

Simply because of your unique qualities,

field record, courage, etc, etc.

You are to be indoctrinated

in counterterrorist techniques...

...which will enable you to meet your

terrorist adversary on equal terms.

Air France passenger

Andrew Dunham...

...please pick up a white courtesy phone...

Is this trip business or pleasure?

Pleasure, I hope.

Welcome to the United States.

The ATAC squad - that's the

Antiterrorist Action Command -

...has been formed due to a serious

lack of ruthlessness by the police.

- What are we doin' here?

- They've become bland.

First lesson:
Threat equals fire power.

Terrorists, though relatively few

in number, rely on massive fire power.

Fragmentation grenades,

other improvised explosive devices.

Law-enforcement officials,

on the other hand, are poorly armed...

...indoctrinated in the use

of non-deadly force...

...and, to a great extent, are not

proficient in what weapons they do have.

Department policy, reluctance to fire,

police-public relations...

...human rights, civil rights...

...safety orientation, necessary

when dealing with civilians...

...but catastrophic with terrorists.

- Pay attention, huh?

- The most important rule is...

...hesitation kills.

Hesitation must be removed

from the policeman.

Are you sure that

this guy's even in the city?

The latest information, as gathered by

the Interpol computer bank, supports this.

He isn't comfortable in Europe.

No one will hire him.

Africa, Asia, the Middle East,

South America...

They've got enough revolutionaries.

But if you wanted worldwide press

coverage... New York. Where else?

What about the possibility that he

could have retired or gone into hiding?

Sergeant Fox, isn't it?

The answer to the possibility

of Wulfgar's retirement, sir, is...

...he's only beginning.

Go ahead.

In 72 hours, I want each of you to know

every detail of his past operations.

We must make use of

every bit of time we have.

I assure you Wulfgar isn't wasting his.

International terrorism, gentlemen,

is a worldwide organization...

...and the man who runs like a thread

through the majority of all of it is one...

...alias Wulfgar.

There was a plastic surgeon

murdered in Paris recently.

The method and caliber of bullet used...

...was the same as Wulfgar has used

in similar assassinations.

So, gentlemen, he may now

look entirely different.

The man truly enjoys killing.

Don't start trouble, OK? Why are

you always such a troublemaker?

His pattern is that he makes

female contacts...

...to establish safe housing for his armory.

He also has a liking for fancy foods,

expensive clothes and the nightlife.

Let's not be strangers. I'm Eric.

The real name is Heymar Reinhardt.

Born Frankfurt, Germany, 1946...

...educated Paris and

Patrice Lumumba University, Moscow.

Currently financed by... no one.

Since the London incidents...

...he has become persona non grata

with revolutionary communities.

What makes him dangerous

is that he wants to prove himself...

...as invincible as he ever was.

Well, not to us, of course, but

to international terrorist networks.

So he may strike anywhere,

without warning.

What he wants most is press coverage.

The media is their voice.

ABC... Television, right?

Right. And CBS is down there.

Radio City is way on down there.

- The news is here.

- Mm-hm.

You know...

I never asked you what you do.

Well, besides dance a lot,

I fly for National.

"I'm Pam. Fly me."

That's an airline joke, sort of.

Don't get me wrong. I don't actually

fly the plane. I'm just a stewardess.

A flying waitress, some people call us,

but I'd rather dance than do any of that.

- How about you?

- Me?

I'm an international terrorist,

wanted by half the countries in Europe.

- And I'm a lady-killer.

- Sure(!)

If you allow him to

dictate the circumstances...

...the hostages will ultimately die.

You can count on that.

So, try to stay with me, everybody.

Time is short.

Very short.

- Something to add, DaSilva?

- We can't catch him if we sit in here.

It's a logical procedure.

When you have been exposed

to counterterrorist techniques...

...then you will be ready for the streets.

A more logical procedure.

He has no network, no real organization.

He improvises. But he manages

to succeed where others have failed.

If he has changed his face,

he will be more dangerous than ever.

Jetzt!

And the destruction of several buildings

in your so-called financial centre...

...is only a warning.

Wulfgar will strike next

in the international community.
