Return From Witch Mountain Page #4

killing anybody.

Especially not us.

It will never go that far.

They will pay

anything to prevent it.

This is the first step

towards my becoming

The most powerful man

in the world.

Ids, please.

Take a powder.

[laughing]

Tony.

Those are the

outer security scanners.

Put them out of commission...

...Permanently.

[static]

The scanning systems

are malfunctioning.

All right, let's run

a maintenance check.

Three million bucks, you'd think

these things would work right.

- Where to?

- Andy's place, know it?

Yeah, sure. I know where

everything is. Second and third?

- [man] fourth and market.

- That one.

- Hop in.

- I'm in a hurry. Could you...

[grunts]

- Don't worry.

- [tires screech]

Have you there

in a couple of minutes.

[Alfred bleats]

Listen.

Feel the power in this cab?

- [Alfred bleats]

- it has lots of power.

You know, everybody tells me,

I ought to be a race driver.

- What do you think?

- [bleats]

Well, I think you're wrong.

Don't worry about nothing, sir.

I'm a very safe driver.

- Want me to tell you how safe?

- [Alfred bleating]

I'll tell you anyway.

I've been driving a hack

for 19 years and 11 months.

And in all that time, I never

even put one scratch on a cab.

In fact, next month,

They're gonna give me

a gold safety award.

- What do you think of that?

- [bleating]

Boy, you don't like nothing.

- I sure hope

you're a good tipper.

- [bleats]

I knew there was something about

you that didn't look right.

[tires screeching]

[cabbie] hey!

Hey!

You owe me a fare!

[cabbie sighs]

- Officer, that goat's a guy.

- The goat?

The guy became a goat

when I'm driving.

The guy?

This magician

beat me out of this fare.

The magician?

- My perfect record.

- Record? Oh... Record.

I ain't gonna get

the gold safety award.

- [hoof steps approaching]

- hear that? That must be her.

- [bleats]

- come on.

[boys grunting and panting]

[dazzler] help me.

[grunts] hey. Watch out.

- [bleating]

- get him away.

- [moans]

- how'd you get in here?

Hey, come on,

get out of here.

[Rocky] watch out!

He's looking at me

like he knows me.

Hey, what do you want from me?

Get away!

He's got Tia's vest.

Get him!

Quick.

- [phone ringing]

- we're going for coffee now.

- [phone ringing]

- can I bring you a cup?

May I see your ids, please?

Tony?

Show him our id.

What's happening?

Why?

Don't leave me up here.

Open the door,

Tony.

You can't go in there

without ids.

- Now seal it.

- How do I get down?

[boys panting]

Tia!

- Quick, let's get her out.

- Yeah.

- Phew, it smells.

- [boys cough]

It's some kind

of a gas.

Come on.

[inhales deeply]

You ok now?

Yes, thank you.

This is some kind of...

...Science place.

- How'd you get here?

- It was Tony.

He was here.

I saw something!

What was it?

It's where Tony is.

I'm sure of it!

A big, round shape.

A doughnut!

He's eating a doughnut.

No way!

Is it like a ball?

A great big ball?

- Yes.

- I know where he is.

Let's go!

Hurry, let's go.

[Alfred bleats]

Oh, thank you.

And thanks for everything.

Come on, let's go.

We are about

to make scientific history.

[Letha] and some money,

too, I hope.

You will shut down the complete

cooling system of the furnace.

[alarm ringing]

It's a red light

on the cooling system.

It must be

a circuit breaker.

Restart the system.

I can't get a restart.

Hit the backup system.

It's no-go on backup.

Temperature increasing

in the furnace.

- Get that coolant flowing.

- [phone buzzes]

- Furnace control.

- Control?

You don't really think you're

controlling anything, do you?

- [alarm continues buzzing]

- who is this?

[victor] this is

Dr. Victor Gannon,

And I have just shut down

your cooling system.

Ok, you've shut it down.

Get it back on again!

Tell him how expensive

it is to put it back on.

In exactly one hour, we shall be

serving grilled plutonium,

Medium rare, to the

atmosphere unless the

following conditions are met.

What conditions?

Five million dollars

in cash.

A jet waiting at the airport.

A safe escort, of course.

And most important of all,

You will announce

that Dr. Victor Gannon

Has achieved molecular control

and mind control.

And this is the first

of a series of worldwide

demonstrations of his power.

[line cuts out]

How long does it take

to count five million dollars?

[alarm ringing]

[indistinct yelling]

[siren wailing]

[indistinct shouting]

[machines beeping]

We'll have to pay them.

Evacuate the immediate area.

Put Los Angeles on alert.

[horn honking]

There's the

big round ball.

- Is that it?

- No, it was bigger than that.

Get outta here.

Leave me alone.

At least I tried.

Hey, look.

It's yo-yo.

Let's get out of here.

Come on.

[radio plays music]

Hey, yo-yo.

Don't you want to catch us?

I don't trust him.

He's probably using

some psychology trick on us.

Come on.

[dazzler] hey, Mr. Yo-yo,

don't you want to catch us?

It's not my job anymore.

They're coming down

to fire me...

...For destroying

city property.

The only thing that works is the

radio. And it won't turn off.

I was only trying

to help you kids.

Mr. Yokomoto,

I'm sorry about

everything that's happened.

All I ever wanted in life

Was all you kids that

I put back in school, someday...

...Visit me and say,

"thanks Mr. Yo-yo, Yokomoto.

If it wasn't for you

forcing us to get an education,

We would've been bums."

That's all I wanted.

You see?

I told you he was gonna...

...Hit us with

some of that heavy psychology.

I mean, I feel guilty.

[man on radio] bulletin

from the plutonium plant.

Unless the demands

of the terrorists are met,

The furnace will explode

with the force of ten megatons.

An official describes

the atomic furnace controls

as frozen in position,

- As if "the molecular flow..."

- that's Tony!

- The plant is being evacuated.

- That's where he is!

- We've got to go there.

- How? Take a bus?

- We'll go in this.

- Tia, the tires are flat.

Come on.

[tires screech]

[machine beeping]

If it doesn't

start cooling soon,

The chain reaction

will start.

You hear that?

In ten minutes,

This place is going to be

a hole in the ground.

Now, let's be reasonable.

We have three and a half million

dollars in the control room.

And the balance is on the way.

It's a deal.

I do not compromise.

[alarm continues]

- Hey, what are you guys doing?

- [man] nothing! Nothing!

We're doing nothing.

- Hey, kids!

- [man grunts]

How did these children

get past security?

Sir, the people destroying the

furnace kidnapped my brother.

If I could see him,

I might stop them.

- [boys] she can do it!

- She can do it.

- [alarm beeps]

- do what?

Impossible,

they're inside the room.

They've sealed

the door somehow.

- What part has to be fixed?

- The emergency cooling system.

- Where is it?

- Five levels down.

But it's too late. We've already

begun to evacuate the plant.

Tony's here,

all right.

Get me down.
