Johnny Domino was one of San Francisco's hottest young jazz musicians.

But fate and a cosmic event were about to change his life forever.

What the doctors told him seemed impossible.

John, your brain has managed to acquire the capacity to pick up certain

frequencies like a radio.

But Doc, I'm only hearing bad stuff.

Yes, exactly.

You're tuned to the frequency of evil.

Now, I'm on your

side. A whole new line of super tools developed for super policeman.

A belt, which enables him to overcome gravity.

Fabric, which are virtually bulletproof.

A belt mode, which makes him seem to disappear.

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

And this is our main operating room.

There isn't a better, more modern plastic surgery center anywhere in the

world. That's why we can offer patients a standard of care and privacy unmatched

in a hospital.

Also a bill unmatched by any hospital.

Thank you, big brother. Why else would a private investor pay for this marvelous

celebration of our grand opening? Why else indeed?

And why don't we go enjoy it?

Darling?

Excuse me, doctor. Could I have a moment?

Of course. Wonderful job of organizing tonight's festivities, Mr. Cruz. Thank

you. Although I'm still a little surprised why you won't tell me which of

my patients decided to be so generous.

It's the way he wanted it.

But there is one thing he asks of you in return for all this. Of course. What is

it?

I noticed your lovely wife and daughter seem to be enjoying themselves.

Indeed. And I am eager to join them.

Actually, that's what I wanted to talk to you about. I'm sure you and your

family are used to this kind of situation arising.

Situation? I'm still not quite sure what you're driving at, Mr. Cruz. Doctor, I

am giving you the opportunity to inaugurate this facility in a truly

meaningful way.

By operating on your first patient.

When?

Tonight.

You can't be serious.

You have no idea how serious.

How would you like that autograph?

Thank you very

much. We're going to take a short break.

I don't understand why this mystery patient couldn't come in Monday. My

employer has a limited window of opportunity to travel in this country.

Besides, he expects...

special attention for its five million dollars. What five million dollars?

Well, you must recall that contribution to your endeavor by the J.E.M.

Foundation. Well, he is J.E.M. It stands for J.E.'s money.

Then I'll return it.

This is too bizarre to be legitimate.

I'm so sorry to hear that.

Though not nearly as sorry as your wife and daughter are going to be.

Johnny?

This is Annette, the daughter of the doctor we're throwing this party for. I

promised her an autograph.

Sure.

I just love your music. I'm going to go down to the club as soon as I turn 18.

Oh? When's that?

Five years.

Now, what is this I hear about your ducking

out on me?

Mr. Cruz, who is paying the bill made your performing a condition of the

catering job? I'm just sliding across the street to play one number, Barney.

And they'll never remember me here.

What are you going to play?

Trust me, your nephew's good.

But what could possibly be so important? I'll explain later.

Listen, you bomb, and we're both playing for dimes at the bus station.

Okay? Got it.

You sure you want to do this?

Well, yeah.

Wouldn't miss it for the world.

Besides, you didn't think I'd put on this monkey suit to impress the base

rangers, did you?

Do you mind a sticker?

What do you say?

This is a dangerous city, doctor.

Rape, torture, murder.

Those are just these socially acceptable deviations.

A terrorist could come in here with enough explosives to blow the whole top

off this building.

And if I do cooperate?

Then your family and guests enjoy the party while you work.

When you finish, you all go home and we'll be out of the country leaving you

with a one million dollar bonus.

I don't want your money.

Oh, but you do want your family alive.

All right.

Go to phase two.

Hey, everybody's about to be out of tunes. All right, I'm coming. Who did

this, huh?

We got to go.

Oh, aren't you going to have some cake?

Oh, man, I'd love to, but I can't.

Well, give me a hug.

Happy birthday, Dad.

Thanks, son.

See you, John.

Molly? Molly.

Where do you two think you're going? This building is closed.

I'm working the gig upstairs.

I'm the musician.

Some major must have grown.

Yeah.

How are they going to fix it with a gun?

What?

Wait here.

Thought you said you were going upstairs.

Getting my other back.

Stay back. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, man.

This is Johnny Domino.

Don't tell me you never heard of him. He's the best.

We can't be too careful.

There's a lot of rich and very important people at the desk.

I may not be able to pick up on the same kind of, you know, head vibes you do,

but you know something. I don't know if she wouldn't have gone back for your

special kiss.

How much money and jewelry do you think there is at that party upstairs?

You think those guys are here to rob a thing?

I'm not sure.

The first guy I tuned into was wondering how many people he'd have to kill before

the night was over.

Yes, now this is the perfect match.

Young, strong, heart like a jackhammer. Match for what?

Oh, yes, the other famous Dr. Franklin.

I hope you and your lovely wife are enjoying the party.

Well, we were, as a matter of fact, until this gentleman.

What's going on, Cameron? Oh, I guess I neglected to mention that this is a two

-part procedure.

Your brother has consented to giving my boss a new face.

Then you're going to give him a new heart.

This is insane.

That can't be done. This OR is not equipped for transplant surgery.

We'll see.

That's it.

You can pull the whole business from up there.

Thank you.

Okay, this last one, let's make it a good one.

Come with me now.

What are you talking about? Let's go.

Easy. Please.

Buddy. Buddy.

What the hell have you got nothing to do?

Come on. Come on. Let's go. Let's go. Quickly.

What are they doing?

That's expansion space. That schedule will be built for a year and a half.

Remember that million dollar bonus? It's already spent.

I mean, I'd love to meet the head honcho, but what's the hurry?

We in the right place?

Absolutely.

Hey, hey, that's Rennie.

Was he there before?

No.

Where have you been?

We don't have a sax player.

Where's Buddy?

Some guy came in here and dragged him down the hall.

I'm in the door with a goon.

You wait right here.

How you doing?

We need a word with Buddy Wright, the sax player. He's inside.

Sorry, but no guests have come this way.

Our mistake?

Thanks.

He's lying.

Well, what are we going to do about it?

Why are we walking away?

Time to take the high road.

They've got equipment here that I don't even have at the Heart Institute.

Now you have some idea of the trouble we've gone to.

Is the saxophone player being prepped? Ready and waiting.

Saxophone player? Well, having selected you as our surgeon, we scanned the

computer records of every health insurance company in this area to find

you the perfectly matched donor.

Tonight, the lucky winner gets the opportunity to volunteer.

Hey, hey, hey, look, if you don't like my playing, all you have to do is say

so.

Look, I'm just a saxophone player, all right?

Wait, wait, wait.

Who are you guys?

Oh, that's Cole.

He's ready.

What are you doing?

I mean, you said to prep the sax player.

That isn't the sax player.

This is the sax player.

This is the wrong man.

Vargas assured Domino never left the building.

Then feel it and kill all outside communication.

Locking up.

Exit sealed. External communication jammed. Get Burgos.

Burgos to HQ.

So we won't need this buddy anymore.

On the contrary.

Until Domino's heart is in my hands, the buddy's in the backup.

Yeah, but without a tissue match, the heart is going to be rejected.

Eventually, but it would last a few days in an emergency.

Get your people and find Domino. Remember, head shots are below the

waist. Anyone who damages Jose's new heart ends up at the bottom of the

Pacific. Got it?

You have a nine feet.

That's five bone.

What's up, man? What'd you find out?

We need a hell of a lot of cops.

They've cut out all outside communications and sealed the building.

Major bad guys want to get their boss a new heart.

And one of the guests gets to be an involuntary donor. Poor bastard.

Thanks for your sympathy.

The donor's you?

What's the holdup, Cruz?

My surgery should have started ten minutes ago. A minor problem I'll

handle. You're supposed to avoid stress, okay? What is going on? Nothing, really.

It's just that, for the moment, we seem to have temporarily

misplaced your heart.

The donor left the party, but he's still in the building.

You know these musicians, he probably just stepped out for a smoke.

He's smoking with my new heart.

I promise it'll be his last cigarette.

And it'll be very hazardous to his health.

And yours!

Hey, I think I know how we might be able to get a call out.

Now, the building's fire alarms will be on a dedicated line loop to Central Fire

Dispatch. Now, I might be able to get a splice into it at the building's

operations center. Which is where?

Usually at the main security desk for protection.

I might be able to get control of the building back.

He's not here.

What do you mean he's not here?

He's got to be here somewhere.

Listen, everyone.

They won't let us go home.

Security said no one can leave this floor.

Ladies and gentlemen, we hope you're enjoying your evening. No, we're

certainly not.

Why are you holding us here against our will?

Sir, you must be mistaken. No one here is going anywhere.

We're all prisoners.

Okay, have it your way. You're all prisoners.

Now, if you do as you're told, you'll all be on your way home in a few hours.

However, anyone who disobeys me or my men shall be dealt with quickly and

severely.

Is anybody hurt?

I don't think so, but they're all terrified.

All right, let's head out.

I'm doing what they have done.

We're not going near the party, okay?

What are you going to have to do?

I'll be back to you both.

Dad.

Me too, honey.

Me too.

It's going to be okay.

Okay?

Jose, the border team we bribed to let us slip in and out of the United States

has given us a narrow window of opportunity.

You have to start the plastic surgery now, even before we find a new heart, or

else we'll never get back to Colombia.

You want me to trust you, huh?

You're still alive because you never trust anyone.

You're a smart man, Cruzito.

I'd hate to deliver you home in a couple of garbage bags.

You're a very generous and sensitive man.

Careful.

You put a bullet in my heart, and we're both dead.

Check. Check. Anybody there?

I got you, Jay. What's up?

I copy.

Domino's on elevator six, heading down.

Check.

Blocking out all floors except his destination.

The basement.

Express elevator to the basement and you know I'm done.

Yeah. All access is blocked and I can't stop it.

Alert the troops.

Can you ring Blackman?

It's just past 15. Anything?

Yeah, I don't know if I can stop it, man. I hope you got a plan B.

Yeah.

Manuel!

No response.

What about that power outage?

Well, assuming it wasn't just a normal brownout, it could only have been sugar

from the building's operations center.

Get them into the basement.

The center, too.

My man, what's up?

Thanks for the blackout.

I better get out of here before they trace this blackout back here.

Now I'm going after Buddy.

All right, well, I'll meet you up there.

Later.

Doctors, how long will the plastic surgery take?

Hour minimum.

We're running out of time.

Who was the second best tissue match in this area?

The sax player's father, Frank Dominic. Really?

All right, I'll open the anesthesia. Let's get this going.

Take a deep breath. This will put you right to sleep.

That's it, breathe deep.

Damn. He's going in the V-tach, Tommy.

He's arrested.

All right, this is my ballgame.

Bring the defibrillator over here.

Get this out of the way.

Lubricate. Give me 260 on this.

Charging.

Ready? Clear.

Normal sinus rhythm.

He's back.

That's what big brothers are for.

He's not going to make it much longer with this heart.

Don't worry, doctor.

His new one's practically lying on a surgical tray right now.

I can't see anything.

Who is that?

Hey, who's there?

Ooh.

Buddy.

What just happened in here?

What? Something just happened in here? Huh?

Come on.

I can get you up to the roof. All right.

Out. If Budagos doesn't find Domino's father at home...

We'll have to use the kid's heart. Better get him prepped.

I can't. What?

He's escaped.

What? The guard was hit so hard, he's raving about being attacked by a demon

with one red eye.

What?

If you read me, come in.

Our roof guard missed his last check-in, and he isn't responding.

Get someone up there.

Jessica, it's me, Raleigh.

I got one more for you.

Buddy!

Raleigh, come in.

Raleigh.

Good night, man.

Where are you? Yeah, I just got Buddy up here on the roof.

But listen, there's a helicopter up here.

If I can get to it, I can probably get to the radio and get a call out to the

police. Good.

But not till I get there.

You got trouble on the way up.

All right, gotcha.

Jessica.

That room for one more.

Who?

Me.

This car's mine.

Oh, gosh.

When I get a hold of this guy, I'm gonna turn him into a surprise.

Going down.

I'll tell him, but he's not going to like it.

What now?

They never got to the roof.

Someone sabotaged the elevator.

A crater with five of our men on board. It's a good thing Jose's unconscious

because he will be executing people right now. Get someone up to that roof.

If anything happens to the helicopter, we're all dead. You got it? You got it?

So how do you screw up now?

I didn't.

This is Johnny Domino's father, Frank.

Well, welcome to the party, Frank. What the hell is going on here?

Let's just call it a test.

of a son's love for his father.

Ah, music to my ears.

All right, it's Domino.

We won't kill him, okay? We might damage the heart.

I'll take him high, you take him low.

Well, that new portable hologram grid worked like a champ, didn't it? But if

we can't make that radar work, we're in trouble.

They got a bomb they're planning to use to cover their escape.

I'll call the cavalry.

Good.

Mayday, mayday.

Anybody here?

Hey,

Raleigh, what's up?

Hang tight. I'm bringing the troops.

All right, we'll get it as fast as you can, man. Even two minutes. It's too

late.

Wow.

You're gut meat.

And you're roadkill.

No, don't let me go. What's Cruz's plan?

Everything's messed up.

He's scrambling.

He's got to leave soon.

What about the party guests?

They'll be the diversion to occupy the cops while we disappear.

What kind of diversion?

Cruz, he's got a briefcase with a bomb in it. He won't leave without a donor

for Escalar.

Darwin! We couldn't catch Domino.

Cruz dropped his father.

He's got Frank?

Where are they?

Frank in the briefcase.

Somebody disabled the helicopter.

Of course.

The point is, how the hell are we supposed to get out of here, Cruz?

The way anyone else would.

Call an ambulance.

Hey! Hey, what are you doing?

You'll be fine.

If you don't wiggle.

Ladies and gentlemen, as we promised,

we'll be leaving soon. The police are already on their way.

We ask that none of you leave this room until they arrive because we place

certain dangerous devices in the stairwells to ensure our escape.

Just relax.

We'll all be over very soon.

You know, as the receptacle for Jose's replacement heart, You'll be going to

South America with us.

Oh, wow.

Freddy can't make it. Yeah, no passport, no luggage.

No interest in associating with scum like you.

Careful, Frank.

Or I'll let them crack your chest with our benefit of anesthetic.

Don't worry.

Just a little something to keep our sheep in their fold.

How long four minutes

Plane fueled and ready to take off, just like I promised.

Yeah, it's been a night of clockwork precision.

Well, you've got a doctor and a new heart right here.

It's not supposed to be in there. It's supposed to be in here, all right? It

will be. It will be. Don't worry about it.

Everybody, I've got good news. We're out of danger. If we just, if we just remain

calm. Mrs. Franklin, I've got a little present for you.

We lost the other van. It's no longer following us.

Si.

Bien.

Pilots in hangar eight, ready and waiting.

So, the news isn't all bad.

You know something, Cruz?

You missed your calling.

You should be a Marx brother.

I like the Marx brothers.

But my point is, you're all dead.

That's a good one.

What the hell is going on with these guys?

Uh-oh.

This is not good.

Let's get him on the plane real quick. Come on. All right, let's go, man. Time

to work. Come on, let's go. Grab the front. Grab the back.

You get the back. All right?

Pull him out.

Let's go.

Get that off me.

Take it easy.

Man's an idiot.

You shouldn't have said that.

Then I happen to like him.

Hey, carajo!

Cruz, what the hell is going on?

Why are you doing this?

Let me go!

Come on, pull me down! Pull me down!

Let me go!

Come on! Let me go!

Hey, hey, he's crazy! He's shooting at me!

It's judgment day.

Today, you're arrested.

Frank, where'd you come from?

The bug they left hanging from the flagpole was very talky. What happened?

How'd you do all this?

Not quite clear. I just got a little intense.

Did anyone pass you?

Maybe a guy in a cape?

Get that ambulance over here. Frank took one of the melon.

You were saying something about a police commendation?

No, I wasn't.

Oh, come on, Charlie.

I just broke up a major drug cartel.

Practically by myself.

Which isn't so bad, but what was it you called me? An old possum?

What about the guy in the cape you were babbling about?

I was groggy. I'd just taken over four thugs.

I can still take you to the woodshed.

Got the body of a 30-year-old.

Yeah, well, you better give it back, Frank.

You're getting it on wrinkle.

Thank you. Thank you, everybody.

I'd like to dedicate this next song to a very special guest of mine.
