Original subtitles

Mr. McDermott? Yeah.

Hey, what do you think you're... Special Agent Barton, Justice Department. Please

step into the car, sir.

You're not Secretary Lawton.

I'm here to determine whether you're a crackpot or a patriot.

Let's vacate the area, gentlemen.

You've made accusations against some very powerful people.

Our evidence is ironclad.

What about the prototype weapons you and the others have intercepted? Where are

they now?

They're where they won't fall into the hands of our country's enemies.

Pull over.

Why are we stopping here?

You want this conspiracy crushed, the first thing that's needed is your

signature on the transcript of what you've told us.

Is everything ready?

We're getting out the last page now, sir.

This is an account of our meeting.

I'd like you to sign it on the last page, please.

That's okay.

How soon can I meet the secretary?

He'll be in tomorrow.

By the way, what are the names of the others that are in this with you?

I can't tell you that.

Mr. McDermott, you're speaking to an officer of the Justice Department.

I'm sorry.

So am I.

Please step out of the car, sir.

Thank you.

Thank you very much.

Now give me the location of the prototype weapons and the names of the

other thieves.

One. We aren't thieves! We kept the weapons from being illegally shipped to

our enemies! We fully intend to turn them over to Secretary Lott!

Three. No!

No! No!

We can't do this!

You're a federal agent!

Take off his shoes.

Seven.

Rolly Jordan, Jason Weems, and Roland Yates.

The location of the prototype weapon.

I don't know. I swear.

Okay, look. They're with the others.

We did it purposely to protect them.

I'm sure you did.

Will you let them go now?

Certainly.

Let them go.

Let's finish up here.

It's in there.

All right, let's go.

What are you doing here? I picked this call up from my scanner, so they think

it's suicide, huh?

Nothing weak about this suicide.

We're just pulling them out right now.

Still dripping.

Come on, everybody, clear back.

Let the medical examiner through.

Well, they indicated suicide on the scanner.

Science through the years, you know, here.

The part of the point is where most of them seem to wash ashore because of that

Southwest Elite.

Coming from the bridge.

Yeah, well, half the time, the other half the time, the body's supposed to be

straight out to the sea.

Well, last night we had a southwestern, Charlie.

Besides, I noticed him not wearing any shoes.

I went up to the bridge after I heard the police scanner.

I haven't been to find these.

Look there.

Frank, you're not a cop anymore.

Yeah, well... Well, then, when are you going to get out of our hair and let us

do our job?

Well, because of the homeless and all, you know, I figured these wouldn't last

long, so I grabbed them.

Besides, you might take a look. There's a note inside a wallet.

It was very careful not to smudge any possible events, Charlie.

Let me hear.

A suicide note.

I think it's meant to look like a suicide note.

But you'll see it was typewritten on computer paper, printed out, but then he

signed it on a soft surface.

So? Well, so most printers and computers sit on hard surfaces.

I just think it's odd he wouldn't have taken it out of the machine and signed

it right there. It seems odd to jump from a bridge. Where's the body, Frank?

It's a little thing. That's why I wouldn't look into it.

Anything else?

No, I think that covers it.

Have a nice day, Charlie.

Thanks, Frank.

Manny, take us to the lab.

What's it? Uh,

warn him.

No wiping today.

How do you know that?

Go ahead.

The music just came into town. The invitation of Millennium 21.

But it all began for right here at the House of Soul.

Ladies and gentlemen, Miss Carla Day.

It always hurts the most when the one who burned you the worst comes back with

a fresh load of matches.

Oh,

and by

the way, your father is here.

Hey, Dad.

Hey, Dad.

You should never have let that one get away.

No chance you two might, uh... Didn't you once tell me that you can never go

back? You picked a hell of a time to start listening to me.

Yeah, I went into Charlie Dan today.

Yeah, he tells me the Academy still needs a martial arts instructor.

Dad, Dad.

Johnny. Oh, come on. You know you got a gift for it.

Maybe Charlie said so.

I like what I do.

Yeah, well, I like music as well as the next guy.

Not a life.

So you just happened to run into Charlie?

Yeah, well, I had some information that could help him on the case he's working

on. Dan, you're not a cop anymore.

I trained Charlie.

He still appreciates my help. He really does.

Yeah. Hey.

I gotta get back up there.

Enjoy the show.

Yeah.

I'll see you later?

Yep. Yep. Yep.

Someone who will watch over

me.

What's that?

Then it was a trap, and we walked right into it. McDermott walked into it. He

insisted on taking that meeting alone.

This is his own fault. That's cold.

No, he's cold.

Let's get out of here.

We'll be on the ground in approximately 20 minutes, Mr. Secretary. Can I get you

anything before we land?

Get me a secure gun.

Brother Jordan.

Mr.

Secretary, where are you? What happened to the meeting?

What are you talking about?

Someone arranged a meeting in your name. McDermott went to it and now he's dead.

I knew nothing about it.

Still got the proof?

We got it. And we intercepted three of the prototype weapon systems, just as

they're about to be illegally transhipped.

You bring me the proof and you bring me the weapon system, I promise you that

I'll move on it immediately.

And Mr. Secretary, after what just happened, we'd like our next meeting to

be in a public place.

Where do you suggest?

The opening of Millennium 21 tomorrow.

There'll be a lot of people, a lot of press, lots of protection.

The mayor is hoping the weather holds out as he hosts today's opening of

Millennium 21, the world's largest communications conference that brings

together some of the greatest minds on the planet.

The VIPs will be given a tour of the city aboard a special cable car,

entertained by saxophone sensation Johnny Domino.

Thank you, sir. Enjoy yourself.

Good evening.

Excuse me.

Do you have an envelope for Raleigh George?

Young black man just picked up the credentials, and he's heading your way.

Make no attempt to stop him.

Thank you, sir. Thank you. Enjoy yourself.

Thank you.

Identification, thank you. Enjoy yourself.

Excuse me, sir, but I'm going to need to examine the contents of that briefcase.

Oh, it's all right. It's all right.

Pardon? Mr.

Jordan is delivering that to me. Well, I'm sure he is, sir. Okay. Go right on

board.

Secretary?

Thank you.

Among those taken to Memorial Hospital for intercepting fire and burning debris

is Secretary of Defense Lott, whose condition remains guarded.

Get away from me!

Get away!

Stop!

Did you say something to me?

I didn't say anything to you.

Someone arranged a meeting with your dame. McDermott went to it.

Nothing about it.

Nothing about it.

It's all right. It's all right.

Mr.

Jordan is delivering that to me.

Mr. Jordan is delivering that to me.

What's the condition?

A blow to the head from falling debris, but the doctors are treating him. What

about the briefcase?

We missed it. He got away.

I'm concerned about it, Mr.

Jordan. And a briefcase.

Them who were sent to kill me.

Get away from me!

Who the hell was that with the secretary?

That is the musician who found the bomb. Get him out of here.

Someone help me!

Please! We're going to take you out of here, sir.

God, you're here.

We've got to go. Much talk. Rest easy, sir. You'll be okay.

No, don't worry about it.

Mr. Domino, what were you saying about the bomb being intended for Secretary of

Defense Lott? What did you mean by that?

I don't know.

Do you have any idea who planted the bomb?

He's a woman. What woman?

I'm sorry, folks. This man needs immediate medical attention.

Doctor, please move this man.

Thank you.

How do you stop the bomb? I don't know.

There's something screwy going on with that guy.

Deal with it.

He's not going anywhere alone.

Hey, Dad. Come in.

Look who I found scratching at your door.

You go a long way to avoid a date.

Carla, are you all right? Yeah, on the other hand, the doctor decided to keep

me around in the trophy.

I think he's got all my CDs.

Anyway, the doctor says you're going to be fine.

You're lucky he hasn't got a scratch on you.

Nothing that shows.

What do you mean?

I'm hearing things.

Well, of course you're hearing things.

I had a buddy once from the bomb squad. I got too close to him.

He heard whistles and sirens for years.

Dad, I'm not hearing whistles or sirens.

Not even sounds.

What are you hearing?

I'm hearing thoughts.

You're hearing thoughts?

I know it sounds nuts.

Johnny, Johnny, you just took a hell of a shock.

Now, that's going to do things to you.

I'm afraid we're going to have to cut this short. Mr. Domino's been through a

lot. Doc, I'm fine. Just as soon as I get out of this office.

Take it easy, Mr. Domino. We still have a lot of tests to run.

The fact is you took enough voltage to fry a bus.

I'll be out in the morning.

Nurses say you can't sleep, so I'm going to give you something so you'll be

rested for those tests.

And I've called in a man who might be able to help you with those voices

you've been hearing.

A drink?

Well, actually, he's kind of an expert in psychic phenomena.

He's in town for Millennium 21.

I told him about your sensing the presence of the bomb.

He was fascinated.

I got on that cable car with a personal assurance that there will be no

surviving witnesses.

Make your deal.

Secretary Lawton is in complete isolation.

He won't be talking with anyone.

And what about that musician, the one who found the bomb and got a very good

look at me?

Well, there are two ways of dealing with that problem.

Kill him or discredit him.

Whichever you choose. Don't let it get in the way of finding those prototypes.

The buyers arrive tomorrow.

What happened?

Let's just say the meeting blew up in my face. You were there when the bomb went

off? I was practically under it. Did you get to the secretary?

Did you give him the papers? No, and I came this close to a bullet. There are

feds on the wrong side on this one.

Are you saying that the secretary's in on the conspiracy?

If we went to the wrong man, we're as good as dead.

Look, since we don't know who to trust, maybe it's time we go to the police. The

police, the feds. The kind of money that these weapons are worth, who's beyond

selling out?

There's one thing that's for sure. We've got to get some money on our side.

Fast.

Johnny, this is Dr. Walton from NISP. The one I told you may be able to shed

some light on those perceptual problems you've been experiencing.

The nut doctor.

Someone who specializes in people hearing voices.

Well, as a matter of fact, there are some good physical reasons for these

disturbances. Your CAT scan shows some neurological trauma to your right

temporal lobe.

What are you telling me, Doc?

That as far as considering your perceptual aberrations, there's

something to be ashamed of.

These voices appear to have saved quite a lot of lives.

I want very much to find out more about it.

Gentlemen, you represent two governments and the Colombian cartel.

We invited you here to preview five weapons. The price is $250 million.

for each of the first four systems in $1 billion for the fifth. Their relative

values will become obvious as we proceed.

Excuse me.

What kind of discount?

We buy all five.

None. This is not the home shopping network.

If after viewing the weapons you wish to purchase any or all of the systems, you

will wire transfer the funds to our offshore account and be given computer

rendering and blueprints.

If you wish not to participate, there will be no hard feeling.

The first system is a fully functional free flight device designed to unshackle

men from the laws of gravity.

This anti-gravity belt will give a foot soldier or individual tactical mobility

unprecedented in the history of warfare.

I said that we open up that crate, we take out the weapons, and then we

individually divide them among ourselves, and then we go hide them

somewhere. I don't think we can afford to have even one of these weapons

falling into the wrong hands. I think that one of us has to try again.

What? To tell the secretary that the bomb was meant for him.

You mean go back and get him in that hospital?

United States Secretary of Defense told you that someone tried to kill him?

I don't remember him actually saying the words.

I mean, I don't remember his mouth moving.

I know this sounds crazy, but it was like I felt what he was thinking.

John, my work for the past 40 years has been with our government in a race with

the Soviet Union to harness extrasensory perception.

Now, during this race, we've discovered that one man today, well, he thinks only

with about 10% of his brain.

And what powers would be released if we could tap in to the remaining 90%?

What does that have to do with me?

Johnny, if your perceptions are true that Secretary Lawton was the target,

then he's in grave danger.

You may be the only one who can tell us where that danger comes from.

We must act at once.

When used in a military uniform, it provides an astonishingly high degree of

bulletproofing, as this test indicates.

The uniform did exceed any vulnerability threshold.

Man, this place is unbelievable.

Somebody ran off with my lab coat, my ID, and my wallet.

Call security.

Yes, Dr. Stone.

I've got to think any American citizen would conceive a plan to sell weapons

like these to our enemies.

And we're afraid they may be further along than when we first advised you.

We believe that the only thing keeping them from completing some sales is the

loss of the prototype weapons.

Which your people have in their possession.

Yes, but if they get their hands on them, they may be able to close their

deals and exchange documents within the next 72 hours.

Time to waste. I've got to talk to my head of security.

No!

You mustn't do that.

Who are you talking about? He's my most trusted confidant.

Someone tried to kill you and did kill one of us.

We can't afford to take any more chances.

He arrived at 11.42 a.m. using phony credential.

Per your instructions, no one attempt to stop him.

Are the men on the door all ours?

Briefly ready to go.

Okay. Let's go clean it up.

Just going for an x-ray. Have him right back.

Yes, sir.

Go back, Mr. Secretary.

Sorry. It's all right, my boy. Barton is on our side.

Yes. And you were going to be a big help to us, Mr. Yates.

My God.

You've done the done in cold blood.

No, sir.

You did.

The door.

Somebody was there.

What are you doing in here?

Yes, gentlemen, I might ask the same question myself.

I'm Dr. Walton, National Security Institute.

Secretary Lawton was just shot to death in the stairwell.

Someone escaped onto this floor. This man may have been involved.

You can see why Mr. Domino is on this floor.

Prior to that, he was with me in the lobby.

As a matter of fact, we saw you two racing past into the stairwell.

How did you get up to this floor, Mr. Domino?

By the elevator.

I saw it.

I guess that'll be all.

Why did you do that?

How'd you know I wasn't involved in the murder?

Because if you were, you wouldn't have predicted it to me.

And that staircase was the last place on Earth you'd want to be seen.

And because I've been searching for someone like you for 40 years.

And finally, the weapon system most sought after by men since the beginning

of the modern age.

In the 30s and 40s, Black Gordon seen it as the intergalactic... Kruger.

In the 80s and 90s, the weapon was referred to as the neutron beam.

Secretary is dead.

Our problems are over.

Maybe not. There may be a new one, a possible witness.

Who? The young fellow.

No, you're not going to tell me it's this musician again.

Aren't you beginning to find it constant, present, so coincidental?

It's only a minor nuisance that will be handled.

If I may inject the position of my government, minor problems as a way of

becoming major problems. And we will not accept anyone interfering with our

business arrangements.

So? There is something that we can handle that might be awkward for

officers of the law. I don't believe we need any help.

I believe we do.

The guy on the paper, the one who saved my life, I've been thinking about going

to him. But why? He's a musician. He somehow knows more about this than

anybody else. Oh, he knew about the bomb.

He knew that it was meant for the secretary.

I think that he's more than just a musician. I think that maybe he's an

agent working directly with the secretary.

How else could he be in the middle of everything?

Look, I'm sorry.

You're sorry? But look, I cannot place my life in the hands of a saxophone

player.

You go your way, and I'll go mine.

Williams, don't do this.

Hey, man, I think you're making a big mistake, man.

Now, no kung fu.

I'm on your side.

Now, look, it looks like you're hurt.

And you're going to keep on getting hurt if you don't let somebody offer you some

help.

All right?

Who are you?

Let's just say that I'm an equally agreed party.

Let's get out of here.

Sorry to keep you waiting, Mr. Williams.

So let me see if I got this straight.

You and three of your associates were engaged in some sort of a super cop

program in order to rescue defense projects.

On the way in doing so, you came across irregularities involving classified

materials. Is that right?

That's right.

Including our most dangerous new weapon, the neutron gun.

So what'd you do?

One of our members, Raleigh Jordan, he inquired with the chairman of our

company, Macon Beach.

Did he or the company act on it?

Well, Raleigh was commended for his vigilance and told that the matter would

be looked into, but almost immediately he was transferred out of state.

So you took your concerns to a higher authority outside the company? The paper

said that Defense Secretary Lawton was coming here for Millennium 21, so we

decided to get in touch with him.

Only now he's dead.

Yeah, Maggie.

Send him in.

I'm going to be working with you closely on this, Mr. Weems.

Homicide, even that of a cabinet-level member, is my jurisdiction.

Espionage, on the other hand, is not.

The chief has taken the liberty of sending in an expert, someone he thinks

can help us out.

Gentlemen.

You'd be Mr. Weems.

We've been looking for you.

What is this place?

A defense contractor we used to work with from belly up. We figured an empty

plant would be as safe a place as any to store a few things.

Including us.

Come on.

No.

Nothing wrong with boys with machine guns. You're lucky he didn't kill you.

Surveillance 1 to Central.

We've located an automobile answering the description on our AAC bulletin.

Now, I'm going to tell you the sad story.

of four very patriotic, now soon to be extinct, engineers.

See, some of us decided to see if we could avoid being laid off by trying to

find some law enforcement applications for some of the toys we had developed

for the Pentagon.

So, you were doing this on your own to save your jobs.

That's right.

A whole new line of super tools developed for super policemanry.

Now, our indestructible fighting man comes in both a military and civilian

configuration featuring integrated systems, which includes...

A belt, which enables him to overcome gravity.

Fabric, which are virtually bulletproof.

A stealth mode, which makes him seem to disappear.

And a holographic display, which makes him appear to be where he ain't.

Very impressive.

We thought so.

Until we found out we weren't the only ones looking into these weapon systems.

And while working with these components...

We stumbled onto some irregularities within the computer.

We found that our most secret technologies were being relabeled or

given new serial numbers which don't correspond with their old Defense

Department designations.

And what would that mean?

That things could be removed from the computer without triggering Pentagon

safeguards.

Which would mean espionage?

Exactly.

We found that these top-secret technologies were about to be shipped to

a new company called Strand Cybertech, which has no security clearance

whatsoever.

So, we took matters into our own hands and had the crate shipped here.

So this is what everyone's dying for.

Yeah.

And if you think the weapons on the computer are impressive, wait.

Kruger, the police have found the car matching the description of the one

belonging to Raleigh Jordan.

We're verifying the place now.

Well, where's the car?

It's in the warehouse district.

You get there ahead of the patrol cars.

on our way.

These are one-of-a-kind prototypes.

Now, whoever it is at the top of this company who ordered them shipped out in

the middle of the night didn't realize that we were working on this civilian

demonstration.

So here they are.

Anti-gravity belts, holographic display units, stealth cape,

bullet-resistant suit, and of course, I have saved the best

for last.

Ta-da!

What does the red eye do? Well, the eye has multi-scan and targeting

capabilities, which employs infrared night vision and thermal technologies.

It also emits a laser beam of varying intensities, which can serve as a weapon

and a cutting device.

It almost looks like you can talk.

Uh, before you listen, there's something that I should tell you.

We ship these systems out so that they wouldn't fall into the hands of our

country's enemies.

Now, you have to believe that.

I do believe that. Yeah.

See, but the point is, they're classified.

If we run into the wrong people, we could legally be shot for having them in

our possession.

Wrong people.

Attention!

Attention! This is the Justice Department.

Come out with your hands up.

That's it. It's over.

Attention, this is the Justice Department. Come out with your hands up.

This is your last chance.

Look, it's me they're after, so I don't know. If you can find a place to hide,

I'll just go out and surrender.

Then these things would fall in the wrong hands.

The worst.

Come on, let's load them up.

Look, I'm sure they've got all the doors covered.

What about your toys?

Do any of them work?

No.

Yeah, but good time to find out what they can do. Here, open up this big bag.

There's a steel bag in there. You can start putting stuff into it. But leave

the cape and the belt out. I've got something special planned for that.

This is your final warning.

Wait, wait, wait. That's not the stuff.

Wait. Give me the anti-gravity box.

You good?

You ready?

Let's go, let's go, let's go.

Over here.

I have to tell you, there's no door here.

Let's just pray the battery packs are up.

Come on, hurry, hurry, get that door open.

What good is this going to do?

Tell me, man.

Riggs, upstairs in the office.

Go ahead.

Check the back there.

Anything?

Nothing here.

No, sir, nothing over here.

Well, whatever was here isn't here now.

They're in the warehouse someplace, and they're not empty-handed.

We've got to take a chance to get out of here. Look, I'm still the one after me

and this equipment.

Probably.

They don't want you alive.

They have orders to shoot to kill. And how do you know that? I just know.

So far we're clear. Nothing.

Keep looking.

What have you got?

I think you may want to look at this.

Copy. Go ahead.

There's a crate inside that says they were here.

But now they're gone.

Well, what's in the crate?

Anything we've been looking for?

Dead empty.

But I did find this hospital break.

Gotta get out of here. Look, you heard them. They said they had this whole

place around it. The only way out is up.

Okay. Okay, let's just spread out the battery packs. I'm holding that. It can

work for two.

You're stronger than me.

You put the belt on.

I hold the bag.

You hold me.

Don't put the...

Invisible. We're invisible.

No, sir.

We didn't find the weapons.

Uh-huh.

Right.

What the hell kind of circus you running around here?

You jumped my collar. That's my bird up there.

Our jurisdictions don't put a foot when it comes to rallies, George.

This is espionage.

He's ours.

You get him into custody, then we'll talk.

Well, it's tight.

Gotcha. Now what happens?

Now, I'm going to hold on tight to all the things in this bag. And what you're

going to hold on tight to is me. Got it?

Got it.

Had you leave that scanner alone?

Not when I hear you broadcasting my son's name all the time.

Yeah, even Raleigh Jordan may be in there.

Who's Raleigh Jordan?

What's Johnny doing in there with him?

Your son's not an innocent bystander in all this, sir. What are you talking

about?

It's about stolen weapons.

Kruger's men found an empty weapons crate in there, along with this.

What is that?

Your son's hospital ID tag.

We're getting out.

We climb down and that won't be on their laps.

Climbing down, we're gravitating up.

To this height. John, do I believe in this system? You don't.

I think just we had that right.

Or it's too bad.

Charlie, you know Johnny would never get mixed up in anything that was criminal.

I don't want to believe that, Frank, but it doesn't look good to me.

Like father, like son. Is that what you mean?

I've always been on your side, Frank.

I went to bat for you when the cops threw you off the force.

I said those cops framed you for not playing ball. Don't put this on me.

So what about Johnny?

There's not enough to arrest him, but even if the feds weren't here, I'd have

to follow up on that. You know that.

Who do you want to train with?

You. You hold tight.

This is working.

This is working.

God.

Right.

This is cool.

This has got to be the most incredible sight.

I've never seen... Okay, okay, let's not get too carried away. I mean, this is

all very experimental, and the anti-gravity can be tricky to control if

you try to get too fancy.

Okay? Okay?

Watch this.

Oh, God, I did not see this. Hey!

Uh-oh.

What's that?

The battery's going down.

What does that mean? It means that we're going down.

Oh!
