I am Michael J. Lander,

lieutenant commander,
United States Navy.

I was... captured
on February 10, 1967,

while firebombing
a civilian hospital

near Ninh Binh.

( Sighs )

I, uh...

Am guilty of my war crimes,

and although I'm guilty
of my war crimes,

the Democratic Republic
of Vietnam hasn't punished me.

They have, uh,
showed me the suffering

that I have caused by my crimes.

I'm sorry for what I've done.

I am sorry
that we killed children...

and I call
upon the American people

to stop the war.

The Democratic Republic
of Vietnam has no animosity...

toward the American people.

It's the warmongers
who are making the war.

What about Vietnam?

Forgive me.

( Speaking foreign language )

Well, dahlia was, uh...

Was concerned about security.

No.

I was concerned
at the lack of trust.

I know 100 times more
about that man

than any piece of film.

I want that film destroyed.

Enough.

As for the man lander,
you will have to take my word.

He lives for it.

After all, it was he
who approached us.

Are you convinced about him?

Can you control him?

To a degree.

To the degree
you can control your child.

A brilliant child...
he doubts,

or he is dangerous.

He reminds me
of you sometimes, Nageeb.

Don't bring personalities
into this discussion, dahlia.

Why not?

It's our personality

which projects the image
of our cause.

That's enough.

Now, tell him what projectiles

the American is planning to use,
and how many.

220,000 steel rifle dots.

Rifle dots.

Interesting.

With initial velocity
of 600 meters per second.

That's right.

Striking where
it hurts them most.

Where they feel most at home.

Dahlia, I think Nagawa
would like to get down

to technical requirements.

No. Please.

Go on.

Go on, comrade.

We are going to make a broadcast
to the world on that day

which you are going
to let me record tomorrow.

I shall give the American people
their state of the nation.

( Buoy bell clanging
in distance )

We accomplished everything
we set out to do.

It has been very fruitful
for me.

Adieu.

Adieu.

Before I leave,

I have two questions
to ask of you.

This American of yours...

are you certain he is able
to get all the rifle dots?

Absolutely.

Good.

My Japanese comrades would
have had a difficult time

manufacturing that quantity

and meet your January 9
deadline.

However, for the rest...

Rely upon me.

You'll have it within ten days.

Now, for my second question.

Why will the American do this?

I can tell you only
that he will.

What is to stop him
from weakening,

giving you over to the police?

Me.

I'm there to stop him.

He depends upon me completely.

( Sighs )

Nageeb...

I am going
to make that recording now.

The American people
have remained deaf

to all of the cries
of the Palestinian nation.

People of America,

this situation is unbearable
for us.

From now on,
you will share our suffering.

The choice is yours.

Shalom Aleichem.

( People yelling )

He's dead!

Leave him!

( Shouting in foreign language )

( Explosion )

The film! You
must get it!

It burned.
The tape!

Tape?! I made the
tape tonight, Fasil.

It was good, major.

( Crowd roars )

Announcer ( Over P.A. ):
The Los Angeles rams remind you

that tickets for
the next three ram home games

are available here
at the coliseum

at tunnels 11 and 19.

Third down and four
for Los Angeles

on the 49er 45-yard line.

( Crowd cheers )

Harris's pass, intended
for Jackson, was incomplete.

However, there is a penalty
on the 49ers: Off sides.

It'll be first down, rams.

( Crowd cheering )

( Blimp motor humming )

Hey, Mike, he wants us
over the West Side of the field.

Did you get that, Mike?

Sure he got it!

What the hell they think

we're riding up here, rails?

Yes, well, we're trying for...

Hey, Mike!

I'm getting a lot of heat
from down there.

Can't you push it a little?

Will you tell him we're bucking
a 25-knot wind up here?!

He says we've
blown the shot, Mike.

Oh, man, is he pissed off.

Well... why don't you tell him
to try pissing off

into this, uh, 25-knot wind
we got up here?

( Laughing )

( Crowd cheering )

( Tractor engine thrumming )

Charles, my boy, I sure
did the best I could.

Okay, thanks, Mike.

Take care, Mike.

The network wants to know

what the hell happened up there.

Listen, nobody but Mike

would even take it up
in this kind of wind.

God sakes, this man flies

the hurricane watches,
you know that.

Yeah, and if Goodyear complains

to your pilots' association,

that's all he's
going to be flying.

Good evening, sir.
Good evening.

May I take your coat?

Thank you.
Yes, sir.

Good evening, gentlemen.

Sam Corley, FBI.

Pleasure.

Ambassador.
How nice to see you.

Dahlia:
The American people

have remained deaf to all the
cries of the Palestinian nation.

But if a foreign people

took over the states of
Virginia, Georgia and New Jersey

and forced the people
of those states

to leave their homes and lands,

would they not feel
bitter and betrayed?

Therefore,
understand how we feel.

People of America,

this situation
is unbearable for us.

Until you understand that

and stop helping the Israelis
with arms and money,

we of the black September
movement

will make it unbearable for you.

From now on,
you will share our suffering.

Today's horror is nothing
to what will happen

unless your government acts now.

We have begun the year
for you with bloodshed.

I shall not rejoice
over my part in this action

and we hope it will not
have to continue.

We want to be your brothers.

The choice is yours.

Shalom Aleichem.

Major Kabakov?

This tape is not a threat.

It is to be used
after the attack.

Probably January.

The quote:

"We have begun the year
for you with bloodshed."

Any chance that your raid
destroyed the plot,

uh, as well as uncovering it?

No, sir.
She's still alive.

Huh. Presumably
scared as hell.

Black September does not scare.

You either kill
or you get killed.

She was not killed
because I did not kill her.

Of course I should.

( Taxicab drives off )

( Crickets chirping )

( Unlocks door )

Michael?

( Gun cocking )

Just hold it right there.

Don't you move a step.

Turn the light on.

You're three days late.

Why?

What were you trying
to do, set me up? Huh?

It's gonna take me ten
seconds to find it out.

Now, you start very slowly

and you tell me
what the hell happened.

Please.

Michael.

All is well.

All is normal.

Then what went wrong?

Nothing went wrong.

Nothing?

Nothing?!

Why didn't you telephone, then?

Why didn't you put yourself
in my place

for five goddamn seconds,
and call me up?

You could've done that.

I been here for three days!

Don't you understand that?
Waiting for you!

You know me well enough
to know what that can do to me.

Look at me!

Michael...

There were reasons.

Please, listen.

Everything is arranged.

Everything is perfect.

I can show you.

Don't...

Look.

Look what I brought for you.

All the way

from Beirut.

What is it?

It better be a goddamn
plastic explosive.

You're mighty lucky
that's what it is.

That's the same stuff
the Cong was using.

It's more powerful than
ours but not as stable.

It doesn't matter.

I mean, is this
the only thing you got?

Where the hell's the rest of it?

This isn't going to do it.

On its way.

How much?

How much did you ask for?
500 kilos?

As a minimum, yeah.

600 kilos will be coming

in a week.

How?

By ship.

From Hong Kong.

Into long beach harbor.

No record of her in Beirut

either before
or after the raids.

An analysis of her voice
by our experts

concludes she probably
learned English

either in Switzerland
or Germany,

and spent the last year
with Americans

or in the united states itself.

I'll put our Lebanon people
on it tonight.

You know, Sam, I really think
the ball is more in your court

than in mine.

The Israeli government
will, of course,

do everything to help.

Thanks, Mr. ambassador, but, uh,

until we get photos, dossiers,
at least some background,

all we can do
is put out a general alert

to customs, immigration,
coast guard,

based on the description
you gave us.

Which was very inadequate,
I must admit.

Well, that's all we have,
that's all we can do, major.

I think we have to accept that
for now, Mr. Corley.

That's fantastic, Michael.

You didn't tell me
you finished the mold.

Almost.

Want some coffee?

Oh.

What is this?

It's for the test.

Michael, do we need
to make that test?

Absolutely. And I'm not going
to discuss it with you again.

There's going to be a test.

When the stuff comes,
I'll take my vacation...

come in here
and work 16 hours a day.

How we going to know?

From the importer,

a Turk called Muzi.

He has been paid $100,000.

Michael,

you are supposed to be

at the rehabilitation
center in two hours.

I know you hate going there but,
if you don't,

they will send
someone around here...

a caseworker...
poking about.

You told me that.

Listen, they have only
to make one bad report,

and it's no more flying,
so please.

Michael.

How are you feeling today?

You mean, am I crazy today?

Oh, of course, I don't.

Liar.

I'm sorry, dahlia.

I'll go.

( Sighing heavily ):
I'll go.

And not only that,

I'll be good.

After all...

I was a hero.

Michael...

You don't have to kill them
one at a time.

Hi.

My name's lander.

I have an appointment
with Mr. Pugh at 10:30.

Take a number.

Well, haven't you
been here before?

Yes, I've been here before.

Well, take a number.

( Into P.A. ):
Twenty-three.

Woman:
You're welcome.

I'll see you next month.

Forty-two.

( Quiet knock on door )

Mr. Muzi?

Come in.

I have come about the shipment

of Madonna statues
from Hong Kong.

Identification?

Kaza.

Fifty-two.

Ah, captain lander.

How are you?

Harold Pugh.

Sit down, captain.

Let's see what we've got here.

I must say, you're
looking well, captain.

Thank you, sir.

Bounced back nicely, I'd say.

Well... tried.

Mm-hmm.

Good to be back
with the family, I'm sure.

The family's fine, I understand.

Uh, they're not with you?

No, sir.
Uh... I'm divorced.

I think you'll find it
there in the folder.

Uh, you get to see
the children, though.

No, sir.

I don't get to see my children.

But you have, uh,
visitation rights.

Mr. Pugh, my children
are very small.

They don't know much
about my rights.

Uh... look, I-I'm sorry.

Uh, sit down, captain,
will you? Uh...

My predecessor, Gorman,

left very few notes, I'm afraid.

I'm, uh, curious as to why
you resigned your commission.

To save the Navy distress.

Look at me, sir.

I, uh... look like an
upstanding person, don't I?

You know that I was four times
decorated?

Four times. It's right...

yes, I read it.
Very distinguished.

Well, you wouldn't
think that a man...

a distinguished man like that...

would cause a big Navy like
ours any distress, would you?

No.

Mr. Pugh, you'd be surprised.

Well, listen, let me get
some of this down. Um...

When were you divorced, captain?

She filed...

One month after my release.

Don't be dismayed, sir.

The government did everything
that they could.

Yes, I'm sure.
Still, it must've been...

a naval officer came around
several times after my capture

and had tea with Margaret
and counseled her...

And he told her that
the life expectancy

of a released P.O.W. Is
about one-half the average.

He also told her
about the high rate

of homosexuality and impotence
among released P.O.W.S,

and stressed the impotence.

Captain, that's, uh,
standard procedure in the Navy.

I understand that, sir.

He felt he was doing his job.

He was preparing
her for what it was

she was going to
have to go through.

She was going to have to go
through.

Sometimes it's better
to let this out, you know.

I know, sir.
But it's all...

Water under the bridge now,
you know...

'Cause I don't have that problem
anymore.

Uh, surely, captain,

there were other factors
involved, right?

Yeah.

She was getting a little dick
on the side,

if that's what you mean.

Corley:
Yeah, I got that.

What else do you got?

What kind?

Yeah? The number on it?
Any registration?

Golly.

David, come back here.

Corley:
Where was it?

Yeah, Texas. Right.

Mm-hmm. Got that.

And what else?

Four black September women.

Corley:
Thirty-two.

No. Next.

Oh... students outside
American university of Beirut,

August '73.

Yeah, I will.
Anything?

Ditto, January '74.

I will.

We will never find this woman
through photographs.

Well, then let's continue
to go on, anyway.

I got a case containing
a dozen Armalite Rifles

found abandoned on a pier:
Wilmington, Delaware.

Hmm? Coast guard intercepted
a private launch

outside Galveston, Texas...
32 sticks of delignite.

Treasure hunters.

Moshe... next.

It's him.

( Winch motor whirring )

Officer ( On P.A. ):
This is the coast guard

to the vessel
alongside the Suma Mar...

Get the hell out of here.

Stand by to be boarded.

Cover me.

( Siren wailing in distance )

Man ( Over radio ): Rescue
coordination center, we read you.

Man 2: This is cutter point camp,
in pursuit of small craft,

white with dark trim,

two people on board.

Entering harbor
at excessive speed.

Unable to continue pursuit
at this speed

without damaging pleasure craft
in area.

Request smaller boats from base
take up pursuit.

Man:
We Roger that, point camp.

Man 3: Base, this is
coast guard oh-three

taking up pursuit
of subject vessel

with coast guard one-two
en route to enter harbor.

( Siren wailing )

Man 3:
Base, this is oh-three.

Subject has taken evasive action
and entered main ship channel.

Man:
This is 12.

Will continue in pursuit,
main channel.

( Engine throttles down )

( Sirens wailing in distance )

( Sirens blaring )

( Over radio ):
Base, this is 12.

Have lost visual contact.

Continue up channel to B Basin.

( Sirens fading )

( Boat horn blows )

( Laughs )

She's right on time.

( Engine revving )

( Over radio ):
Okay, we got him.

Subject vessel spotted

making high-speed run
for inner basin.

We're in pursuit.

This is base.

We Roger that.

Drawbridge operator,
this is the coast guard.

Emergency. Raise the bridge.

Repeat. Raise that bridge!

Bridge operator to coast guard.

I can't help you. Negative.

Hey, I'm committed
to a freight train.

Jesus, man!
There's nothing I can do!

( Sirens blaring )

( Sirens blaring )

( Bells clanging )

( Bells clanging and
sirens blaring )

( Train horn blaring )

( Over radio ):
Base, this is oh-three.

Have completed search.

Good, Mike.

Negative results.

Looks like they made it.

( Both laughing )

You can damn well believe that.

Oh-three and 12,
return to base.

Yeah.

Notify civilian authorities...

Let me ask you something.

That little nipper
that helped us out there...

that captain...
how much does he know

about the overall plan?

I think nothing.

Well, he knows that other Jap,

the one you met in Beirut.

And he does know.

Possibly.

Anyway, he won't talk.

No.

He won't.

( Brakes squeaking )

This is Mr. Kabakov,
Mr. Moshevsky.

Working with me on the case.

Jim Radner
of our Los Angeles office.

Nice work, Jim.

Well, I didn't know
whether you wanted

to come out now or later.

Took the first plane
when you told us

the ship was
under Libyan charter.

Well, I... Can we go up now, Mr.
Corley?

Okay.
We're coming aboard.

Up the ladder on the left, Sam.

( Whistling )

I sure appreciate that, officer.

There's such a heavy
seasonal depreciation

in this type of merchandise.

Any other business, you know...

Pardon me, gentlemen.

Captain: Ah, no! I don't want
any more people on my ship!

Who are these men?
Who are you?

Don't think we'll bother
too much with introductions.

Corley, FBI headquarters.

I'm lieutenant
Doyle, Mr. Corley.

And this Bill Dockert
of U.S. customs...

Mr. Dockert. Mr.
Corley, how are you?

I don't think we got
very much here.

We did a routine search.

Checked cargo
against manifest...

Look, I don't want
to say this again,

but I got $200,000 worth
of Christmas novelties

out there waiting to unload.

Now, if they're not
in my shop by Wednesday,

I'm-I'm a little mad.

Uh, I am the assistant
Libyan consul.

The captain has permitted
a search,

but if he had refused,
he would've been in his right.

This ship is Japanese territory.

Moshevsky: Captain, what
was that speedboat doing

alongside your ship?

We questioned the
captain on that point,

and everything's
perfectly satisfactory.

And what about his answer
was so convincing?

Law of sea.

Speedboat was out of fuel.

I obeyed law of sea.

Why did he run away then?

Not my business.

Maybe he was smuggler
for all I know, huh?

Oh, we are wasting our time.

No!

You are wasting my time.

Now, I go ashore now.

Against law to stop me.

You stay.

Search ship second time,
third time.

I go ashore.

Now, this is my ship, my cabin.

Everybody get out!

I get my release.

Oh, you sure
do, Mr. Muzi.

There's no further
basis for an impound.

Okay with you, lieutenant?

Aye, sir. All right, let's go.

It's wonderful to see the FBI
step in, Mr. Corley.

Robert?

Don't be so rude to everybody.

( Phone ringing )

( Ringing continues )

( Ringing continues )

( Grunts )

You didn't answer my question
this morning.

Why did the boat run away?

( Phone stops ringing )

You can forget about the law...

land or sea, captain...
we are the law.

Captain Ogawa, I really
don't want to have you killed.

I really don't.

But we have very little time
left.

Perhaps one minute.

I don't know why boat turn away.

Not my business.

( Groaning )

I'm going to slit
your artery now.

( Groaning )

Oh, the police are on the dock.

I must remember not to get
blood on my clothing.

( Whimpering ):
No!

Don't.

I...

I will talk.

Robert,

let him sit himself up.

Robert,

just go outside.

( Boat horn blows in distance )

Just make yourself
comfortable, captain.

Who paid you?

Bank of Tripoli on Hong Kong.

How many were on the speedboat?

Two.

Men or women?

Man.

Woman.

What did they look like?

I don't know.

Why?

Wore masks.

What nationality?

Man, American.

Woman... silent.

What did they take off your ship

and put in the speedboat?

They take off 12 crates.

Weigh each maybe 100...

200 pounds.

( Phone ringing )

Yes.

This is captain Ogawa.

( Explosion )

Anchorman: The president is expected
back in Washington tomorrow morning.

Locally, long beach fire
and police officials

have been unsuccessful
in their attempts

to find the cause
in last night's explosion

aboard the Japanese freighter,
Suma Mar...

Captain Tekiaki Ogawa
was instantly killed

when the explosion occurred
in his cabin.

An Israel national identified
as David Kabakov was taken

to queen of angels hospital
for treatment of shock

and possible internal injuries.

His condition is listed
as satisfactory.

Also, here at home,
controversy continues

with citizens' groups appearing
before the city...

Woman:
Your father's name?

Benjamin.

Living or dead,
Mr. Kabakov?

Dead, nurse.

Your mother's maiden name?

Raquel Née Rabinovich.

Dead.

Married or single?

I was married.

Divorced or widowed?

Widowed.

Do we have to go
through all this?

I'm sorry,

but we do require
these particulars.

Children?

Yes, three.

Are they presently

in this country,
Mr. Kabakov?

No. My two boys are dead,

but I have a daughter
who lives in Jerusalem.

In Jerusalem,

Israel.

Thank you,
Mr. Kabakov.

Gentlemen, we would
very much appreciate it

if you would leave as
quickly as possible.

Thank you, nurse.

You, um...

I'd be interested to know

how the bomb was set off.

The, uh,

explosive charge was
in the receiver itself,

activated by a specific
sound frequency

on the other end

when the victim identified
himself.

Yes, we have used that technique
very often ourselves.

I-I should have guessed that
one moment earlier.

Yes. Well, I'm going to have

to give you a warning.

In your own operational circle
in Israel,

I understand behind your back

they call you
"the final solution."

A man who takes things

to their ultimate
conclusion and beyond.

Some of them say that
to my face.

Yes. Well, you're not going
to do it here.

Whatever you may think
of our methods,

you'll play by our rules
or leave.

In fact, you'll be lucky
to be allowed to leave.

I mean it.

It applies to both of you.

( Phone buzzes )

Corley.

Be right down.

They checked the fingerprints
from the cabin.

Negative.

See you later.

Major, I think you're lucky
to be alive.

Fingerprints.

I should've asked that captain

if they wore gloves
as well as masks.

I should've made sure of that.

( Indistinct conversation )

( Siren wailing )

Woman ( On P.A. ): Dr. Koker,
emergency entrance, please.

Dr. Koker,
emergency entrance, please.

Robert?

Do you remember,
once you said to me if...

Peace, if real peace
ever comes to Israel...

You won't know
how to live anymore.

They'll have to put you down
like an old war dog.

Robert...

I do want to be put down
like an old dog.

I am...

What the Americans call "beat."

I'm washed up, I'm through.

Don't tell that to me.

To other people...

But not to me.

No. You're the only person
I can tell it to.

You know for 30 years,

I have been killing
and murdering.

What have I achieved?

Same world...

Same wars, same enemies,
same friends...

And same victims.

( Switch clicks )

I should've killed the girl.

You would have.

At your age, I would have.

What you do not know is

that if I had the chance
to pull the trigger tomorrow...

I am not sure if I could.

Doubt has entered in.

That's no good.

So, uh...

Listen, uh...

( Stubbing cigarette )

"Old dog..."

I'm going to talk to Corley

and give him a bit of...
Israeli advice.

The trouble is, David...

You've come to see both sides
of the question.

That is never good.

Shalom.

My, uh...

My mother... once said,

"anybody who has
a nervous breakdown

has got something wrong
with them."

Moshe?

Shalom.

Woman ( On P.A. ): Father, Mothers,
report to administration, please.

Repeat: Father, Mothers
to administration, please.

Mr. Robert Moshevsky,
the telephone, please.

Mr. Robert Moshevksy...

Can I take it here?

Sure.

Hello?

Yes, it is.

Would you try again
in two hours, please?

Thank you.

Sister Mary rose,
room 4201, please.

Repeat. Sister Mary rose
to room 4201.

Excuse me.

You're not supposed
to go in there.

And you aren't
supposed to be here.

Visiting hours are over.

I'm his night sister.

I'm taking the patient his pill.

If you don't mind,

first we go down
and check with security.

When I have given him his pill,

I will be more than happy
to do that, but first...

No, no, no, no, no.

First, we go downstairs.

You'll only make
extra work for me,

but if you insist.

You can leave your tray here,
if you like.

I wouldn't dream of
leaving it here, mister...

Moshevsky.

Dr. Treman, please report
to surgery.

Fourth floor, please.

All security guards,
fourth floor, please.

Hey. David...

David, you all right?

Right.

David.

( Panting )

I've got to tell you
something, Major Kabakov.

Your friend Moshevsky's
been killed.

Potassium chloride injected
into the carotid artery.

A woman disguised as one of...

The hospital sisters...

Just found him.

Elevator in the hospital.

I've got an all points bulletin
out on the woman.

( Panting )

I just don't know what
to say to you, major.

Leave me alone,
will you please, Mr. Corley?

( Door closing )

( Inhaling )

( Gunshots )

That ship's manifest...
Was phony.

( Door closes )

I don't know
what you're talking about.

That manifest you gave
to the customs was phony.

Now, either you're going
to tell me all about that

and a lot more,
or you are going...

To die.

Now...

Just blink for yes,

or die for no.

There were 12 crates
on that ship.

12 that came off.

What were they?

They were just statuettes.

What were they?

Explosives.

Plastic explosives.

Tell me about the girl.

What was she like?

( Quietly whimpering )

She wore dark glasses.

I never saw her eyes.

I have seen her eyes.

Where does she live?

I swear...

I don't know.

What did she call herself?

Kaza.

Who introduced you to her?

I mean, who was the contact?

Who... who is the man
who paid you the money?

Oh, well, Mr. Muzi...

( Gun hammer cocks )

now you are going to die,

unless you tell me who
was the man who paid you.

Where does he live?

How did she know him?

Mamud! Mamud Al bernadi.

He's an Egyptian!

He lives now in Tripoli!

(Clicks gun)

Mamud Al Bernadi?

Lives in Tripoli.

Hmm...

I don't know why... I think
I'm going to let you live.

( Vehicle approaching )

( Engine sputtering )

( Engine revs back up )

( Engine stops )

( Chickens clucking )

Oh, we're caught.

Hey, what are you
folks doing here?

This is private property.

That's absolutely right,
and that's why we're here.

We represent
a big Los Angeles syndicate

that's interested in spending

quite a bit of money
on this place.

Syndicate, huh?

Consortium, yeah.

Plug that into the battery
there, darling.

Thank you.

So if you don't mind, uh,

we'd sure like to take
a few pictures.

Yeah, consortium, huh?

You know, I told them
they should hold out

for something like that.

You know, there's a
charge for landing.

Absolutely.

$25.

You got it.

Oh... my fault.
Excuse me.

It's really rude.

There you go, 25.

And, uh, here's another 25.

Buy yourself a drink.

Thank you.

Of course, just between us,

they been letting
this place go to hell.

Why, if I hadn't spent all
them extra hours up there

shoring up that
roof, this place...

The place would look
a hell of a lot worse

than it does right now, right?

( Chuckles )

Say, you know
what I'd like to do?

Uh, we'd sure appreciate it

if we could start
shooting, uh, inside.

Sure. Come
right in here.

Oh, that'd be just great.
Go ahead, darlin'.

You know, the, uh,

the group that we work for...

( Sighs )

they'd sure want
to keep you on here.

Would you like that?
Yeah, yeah.

Oh, that's swell.

You know, there's been a lot of
hackers and kids right there.

And picnics this summer,

but I've kept them all off.

Ah, you're a good man.

Then when you get through inside...
Set it right here.

I know some good places outside

where you can get some pictures.

Oh, that'd be swell.

Boy, you sure got a lot
of good equipment there.

Say, that's
a pretty fancy camera.

Yeah, it sure is, isn't it?

It's brand-new.

Ah... okay.

Listen, can I give you a hand?

No, we've got it here.
Just hang on.

Oh, okay, let it down.

Slow, slow, there you go.

You got it.

It's a panoramic, you know.

Is that right?

Mm-hmm.

Well, you know, it's
pretty dark in here.

Has that thing
got a flash on it?

Sure does.

Hey, if you like, you know,

I-I could, uh, stand
over here like this.

Give it some scale.

Hey, that'd really be terrific.

I tell you what...

Why don't you, uh, here,

put your hand up like that.

Put the pipe in the mouth.

Oh, darling, doesn't
he look great?

Now, I'll just...

Adjust these little guys.

Just hold that pose
for one second,

and get these little
doohickeys in here,

and we'll be right with you.

There we go.

Now, here...

Now, darling, here.

Now, we're going
to be right back.

You just hold up one second.

Right.

Geez, you look just great.

I'm ready!

When are you gonna to shoot?

( Explosion, piercing screech)

( Ricocheting )

It's completely symmetrical!

Michael!

On both sides!

Michael, Michael, please,

let's not stay around
here too long, please?

Look at this.
It works.

Look, darling, look at this!

Michael, please, let's go.

No, goddamn it,
you're going to look at this!

We're not going anyplace!
Now, look.

Now study that.
Look at that.

That's brilliance, darling.

What are you talking
about going?

Look at that!

We deserve this moment,
sweetheart.

Don't you understand something?

When we set off the big one,
we're both going with it.

Look at this.

Absolute goddamn brilliance.

Oh, God, there's absolutely

no bunching together
at the darts.

They're all dispersed evenly.

I mean, natural art.
Look here.

Look, look here.

Look at the light on your face.

Oh, you look beautiful.

All those little holes
make a pattern on your face.

And you know what that means?

That means that every
single dart came down

in exactly the perfect
arc it was supposed to.

( Chuckles )

And I was worried, you
know, that back there

maybe I set 'em too
close to the charge,

and they'd disintegrate.

That way all I'd have done is,

uh, fill up
25 institutes for the deaf

to commit suicide.

Why so long a face?

We're champions!

Look at that.

Goddamn champions.

Don't you understand?

Darling, don't you
realize something?

The day we set the big one off,

we're only going to be
a hundred feet off the ground.

Right over the 50-yard line.

Now, look at this.

That means 222,000 darts in
a kill zone for 80,000 people.

That ought to do the job
pretty well.

Yeah...

Pretty goddamn well.

Kabakov.

Colonel Riaf.

We have known a lot
about each other.

I listened to the tape
that you sent me.

It was quite brave of you
to take this step on your own.

If it was...

On your own.

Well, I can assure you, colonel,

that no one on my side knows

that I am here with you

or that I have communicated
with you in any way.

You want us to do
your work for you?

Why?

Because if this happens,

it will be very bad
for my cause.

But it will also be
very bad for yours,

and in the end, you know,
it might be worse for yours.

You have a reputation
for ruthlessness, major.

What happened to it?

If this thing is indeed
going to be so bad for us,

why don't you go home,
have some sleep?

Colonel, we have fought
many battles

on opposite sides.

We've had some victories;
We've had some defeats.

If this happens,
for both of us it is a defeat.

Your government has outlawed
black September, hasn't it?

( Mumbles )

I agree.

What is it you want from us?

Well, I want one photograph
of the girl on the tape...

Some dossier.

How you get that...
I don't know how...

Possibly from the man
in... in Tripoli.

He was Egyptian;
You expelled him.

You have 100 sources
of information,

of access denied to me,

but you must cooperate
with me right now.

( Chuckling softly )

Just because you did not
consult your embassy superiors

does not mean that
you have to expect me

to be rash... or foolhardy.

The word you used before
was "brave."

I didn't particularly want
to have to say this.

I think I will.

Five minutes ago,
you had a choice.

Now you've no choice.

If you do not help me,
you may have on your hands

the blood of a great many
innocent Americans.

And so, if you do not help me...

I am going
to make this conversation

very widely known.

Good day... Kabakov.

Her name is Dahlia lyad.

Of Arab-German extraction.

Born on a farm near Haifa,

formerly Palestine, in 1948.

Her father, brother killed
by Israeli commandos

in war of same year.

She, sister, mother
expelled... '49.

Lived in a tent

in desert refugee camp,
Gaza... '49.

'57, her mother died
of typhus... 51.

Sister raped in war of '56.

Refugee camp,
Jordan... '57.

Sent by Arab league
to Beirut university... '66.

Geneva... '70.

Black September: Joined in 1973.

Here is her face.

Look at it.

After all...

In a way, she's your creation,
Major Kabakov.

Hotel...

Edward.

Right.

No, I'm fine.

I will time the route
to the airport tomorrow.

Then I will take
the first available flight.

Can't wait.

Bye.

They know who you are...

the Americans.

They found out yesterday.

They have your name,
your photograph.

It will be
in every police station,

bank, and post office.

How did this happen?

Once they'd found the tape
which you insisted on making,

it was only a matter of time...

But they were quicker
than we anticipated.

I've come to get you
out of the country.

( Knock at door )
Put that away.

Who is it?

Bellhop.! ( Urgent
whisper ): Put that away.

Coming.

Happy new year.

What you are really saying is...

The operation is canceled.

Right.

For your own safety
and the whole organization.

That's very easy.

As easy as pulling out a gun,

( whispering ):
And as stupid.

( Car horn honks outside )

Look, Fasil,
I have already faced

far greater risks and dangers
than this new one.

Risks... you know nothing about,

and I overcame all of them,

and now, at the very
point of success,

you want to cancel,

when the bomb is here,
ready to go off.

Ah, no.

I have been through too much
for that.

We know what you've been
through, and you've done well.

It would have been difficult

even with
a perfectly normal man.

We give you credit for that.

I don't want credit.

I want to win!

And it shows how little
you know.

A normal man wouldn't have
approached us

in the first place,

and this one is very gifted.

That's why it's going to work,

and I'm going to stay

and see it through.

You go back to Beirut.
Listen!

I am your superior
in the organization,

and you will obey orders.

You may be my superior
in the organization,

but you are not a woman.

In case you had any idea
of taking over,

he doesn't give a damn
about black September politics.

Help me!

I don't need protection,

I need help.

( Teletype clacking )

Major?

We've found dahlia lyad.

You're sure?

Positively identified

in a Miami hotel last night.

I got a plane waiting. Let's go.

Thank God.

The girl had already gone
by the time we got there,

but the man is still there...

the man who was with her.

Yeah. That's his room up there,

the fourth floor, third window.

Who is this man?

He's registered
as Alex Stephanos.

Yes.

Mohammad Fasil.

She's with him, all right.
Who is he?

Organized the attack on the
Olympic village in Munich,

black September.
Ah, yes.

We've got the hotel
staked out, sir:

Men in the lobby,

that worker over
across the street,

and we've got a marksman
up in that...

No, I don't want any marksmen.

No firing, not while she's free.

You tell your men.
Be very careful, be very alert.

Very dangerous,
very professional.

He watches everything,
everything.

( Horn honks )

Here he comes.

Yes, it's Fasil.

Any messages for 39?

No.

( Gasps )

( Gasping )

( Grunts )

( Screaming )

Tell your men not to shoot,

even if they get him
in the clear.

Get him on the radio.

Hold your fire!
Hold your fire!

Hold your fire!

Put your hands up now!

Get down!

Put your heads down!

You over there, keep down!

Put your hands...
( Gunshot )

( Screaming )

( Tires screeching )

( Whimpers )

Down, down!

Put your heads down!

( Girl sobbing )

Don't fire!
Repeat, don't fire!

Don't shoot.

Keep your heads down.
Keep your heads down!

Hold it right there.

Hold your fire.
Get down.

Keep down!

( Dog barking )

( Crying )

( Gunshot )

( Woman screams )

No, get back! Back to the right!

Round the other alley!

( Sirens blaring )

( Whimpering )

Fasil!

Fasil!

If you drop your gun,
we don't shoot!

Fasil!

Fasil!

( Shouts in foreign language )

( Woman sobbing, siren blaring )

You're all right.

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

Turn here.

Parties on line...
seal off the alley

at the other end.

I see the suspect.

There he is.

Coming toward us.

We've got him.

( Siren blaring )

Go on in to seal off
the end of that street.

( Tires screech )

( Woman screams )

( Shouting, clamoring )

( Tires screeching )

Go back through the alley!

( Tires screeching )

( Crowd murmuring )

( Singing )

( Tires screech )

( Gunshot )

All units...
stop at the beach.

Seal off the beach area.

( Distant siren wailing )

( Gunshot )

Fasil, drop the gun!

Drop it!

We're not going to shoot!

Drop it!

( Clicking )

( Gunshots )

I told you about that man,

Mr. Corley.

Should've let him shoot you.

British passport,
American passport...

Mr. Corley?

Mm-hmm?

What exactly is this super bowl?

( Quietly ):
Oh, my God.

( Wind blowing )

Corley: Now, what other precautions
can you take, captain?

Well, as you know,

all underground passageways
will be checked and secured.

Corley:
All right.

Captain:
We'll place 24-hour guards

on every entrance
and on every exit.

Good.

The staff is being
double-checked

for security.

We're going to take
every possible

precaution in the business.

Mr. Robbie,

could I speak to you
for a moment, please?

Certainly.

I'd like to tell you, sir,
that with black September

there's no way you can take
"every possible precaution."

They know exactly what they're
going to do, why, and when.

The only way we can take
every possible precaution

is to cancel the game.

Cancel the super bowl?

That's the most ridiculous
suggestion I've ever heard.

That's like canceling Christmas.

If you do it,
you might as well cancel

every athletic contest
in this country.

No, he's absolutely right.

They can't cancel
the super bowl.

Mr. Robbie, you do
realize there could be

80,000 people killed
in your stadium.

All right, so you don't
want to cancel the game.

Well, then, you have to stop

every private plane
within 300 Miles.

You have to cancel
every commercial flight

over Southern Florida that day.

Don't worry about it, major.

It's already been taken care of.

What else, Mr. Robbie?

Well, there's
the Goodyear blimp.

That's got to fly.

Why? What is
this blimp?

What does it got...
Supposed to do?

It'll take the picture
for television.

Kabakov:
Officer, what else

has got to fly that day?

Well, a police helicopter
has to fly.

Robbie: And his helicopter.
If it comes.

Whose?
He'll come.

Who?
The president.

What? The president
of the United States?

Well, who the hell else?

He's a great football fan.

Wait a minute, wait a minute...
are you telling me

the President of the united
states is coming here?

That's exactly what I'm saying.

I talked to him this morning.

Well, that's just too bad,

because this is one game he's
going to watch on television.

Michael?

What's happened?

( Sighing )

What's happened, Michael?

It's finished.

They took it away.

Took what away? Who?

I've been waiting to tell you.

( Sniffles )

Uh... I was waiting
for you to come home.

You remember
that other guy... Farley.

They want him
for the super bowl.

He's been flying
all of the playoff games

while I've been down
in here on vacation.

Don't look at me like that,
dahlia.

There's nothing
I could do about it.

They like him better.

His work.

One time I didn't get their
shots for them in a high wind.

And I was the best blimp pilot
this Navy ever had.

And then they phased out blimps.

They put me in helicopters.

I thought you'd like
to see me in my uniform.

I don't want
to see that, Michael.

You don't have to show me that.

Well, I...

I don't want to see it!

But this is what I was.

I wasn't kidding you
when I said I was a hero.

( Huffs )

See these?

They don't give you these
for nothing, you know.

Look at this one.

And you see this one here?

It has one little star.

That means two times.

This is the silver star...

This really means something
in this country.

This is the silver star.

When they give you this
and they give you these,

and then they take
them away from you,

they're really asking for it!

And Farley knows that.

He came over here,

and he was ashamed that he
was having to replace me.

He even said, why didn't I
go with him down to Florida

and-and gave me two
tickets for the game.

Dahlia...
Don't touch me!

Look...

We can try again next year.

( Whispers ):
No.

No... yes, we can.

We can come back next season
and set it up again.

No!

That's it.

It's now or never,
so it's never.

We can't wait.

Well, I could've done it...

You couldn't!

You couldn't!

I see that now.

I-I was too full of myself.

"I can handle it."

Even Fasil
could have done better.

I unload this whole operation
to depend on a man

who is incapable
of going through with anything.

Let alone, a project like this,
but how could I have thought it?

A man without
any political convictions

don't say that I couldn't
have gone through with it.

I could've gone through with it.

Except for an accident, I...

There are no accidents!

Why do you talk to me like that?

That's that same psychological
bullshit that I was getting

from all those psychs
at the V.A.

Expect you did.

It's probably them
who reported you,

after that last time

when you behaved yourself
like a sick child.

You're talking just exactly
like they were!

Every one of them!

Who loved these medals, and then
they chaired my court-martial.

Do you understand
what I went through?

Huh? Do you know that I was
months a prisoner of war?

Do you know that I was months
in solitary confinement

in a little 4 X 4 bamboo cell?

367 days,
six years they held me!

As a prisoner of war!

And then I came back here,
and my life was hell back here

because she took it away
from me,

they... every single one
of them took it away from me.

All those guys, too.

Yeah, I see them every Sunday.

I see them from up there,
down in the mass.

Their little upturned faces

and their two little weenies
and a coke,

watching the big game,
cheering the big game,

because they cheer
all the good things.

They cheer the big game,
and they cheer court-martials,

and they love the big event
because it makes them feel big,

and I was going
to give it to them big!

They'd have been talking
about that goddamned game

for the next 5,000 years!

And so would Margaret,
and so would the kids.

Margaret and the kids.

I don't give a damn
about Margaret and the kids!

Please!
Please!

Don't leave me, don't leave me.

I loved her.

My last...

Christmas in captivity,

they allowed me one letter...

From Margaret.

And in it was a photograph

of Margaret and the kids
standing in front of the house.

And the shadow of the person
that took the picture

was in the foreground.

And it was wide.

And it fell on their legs,

and all I could think about was,
"who took the picture?"

I spent more time looking
at the shadow

than I did
at my own wife or kids.

I was just going to give
Margaret and the kids

something to remember me by.

I was just going to give the guy
that took the picture

something to remember me by.

I was just going to give this
whole son-of-a-bitching country

( sobbing ):
Something to remember me by.

If they can do it to me,

why shouldn't I be able
to do it to them?

You will.

( Sobbing ):
I won't!

You will.

Michael, I need you.

I really need you.

Mr. Vickers.
Yes, sir.

Dick, take her around, will you?

Tell me exactly where
you get these pilots from?

Yeah, they come, uh,
from an outfit called "A.N.P.A."

It's a pool of ex-service pilots
that are engaged

on a freelance basis to cover,

oh, TV sporting events,
advertising agency campaigns.

These a.N.P.A. Pilots
will be the same people

flying the blimp
for the super bowl?

Oh, yeah, yeah.

The flight crew is assembled
with the camera team

at the beginning
of the football season.

They've all known each other
for years, anyhow.

What about the ground crew?

Well, the ground crew

is permanently employed by Goodyear.
Yeah.

Uh, would you like to see
the flight crew people now?

Yeah.
Yes.

Alrightey, are you ready
for your test?

Mm-hmm.

Which one is Ron Simmons?

Right.

And which one is Jack Farley?

Corley: You must be a
pretty well-traveled man

for your age, captain.

I guess I've flown
in most of the states.

Uh, never been overseas.

Mr. Farley,
I understand, uh,

that you not only pilot blimps,

but you drive speedboats.

Where in the world did you
get an idea like that?

You've never driven a speedboat
off long beach?

Vickers, is that
what those eggheads

have been saying about me?

They've been pulling your leg.

I'm not a speedboat freak.

I don't even swim.

What's this all about, anyhow?

It's, um, what is known as
a security procedure, captain.

Sorry to have taken up
your time.

Nice talking to you gentlemen.

Bye, Mr. Farley.

( Band playing "I've been
working on the railroad" )

TV announcer: You can see the
Steelers' plane coming to the wall.

Announcer #2: Pittsburgh
Steelers... the American conference

champions,
last year's super bowl...

Coach Noll, do you
feel ready for the game?

We see Rocky Bleir,
and there's Terry Bradshaw...

( Sirens wailing )

Man:
Your keys, sir.

Enjoy your stay.

Two on the 45, a
hundred dollars each.

( Band playing "when the saints
go marching in" )

Corley: Damn it,
tom, I really think

it's important
that I speak to him.

Yes, personally!

I-I understand perfectly
what's going on,

but this isn't
the time for that.

80,000 people
in the stadium tomorrow.

Well, tell him.

Don't write a report about it,
tell him face-to-face.

( Slams phone )

The president isn't persuaded
that attending the super bowl

will pose a threat to his life.

I suppose there's a more
important threat on his mind:

He's slipping in the polls.

82,528, to be exact.

Sir! Sir, I would like my room now!
I've never seen this lady,

I've taken a good look at her.

Take another look.

Officer, I've got
a super bowl game going on here.

I'll be happy to call
the police if I see this lady.

I've been waiting
15 minutes now...

yes, I will. May I
have my room, sir?!

Thank you.
Thank you very much.

May I have my room now!
You'll have it, sir.

Dahlia:
Hello.

Please, has captain Farley
remembered

to place his wake-up call?

Farley. Yes.

Oh, good.

And could we have
his room number?

We are sending something.

Thank you.
Good night.

9:30.

Room 401.

I love you.

( Sobbing )

( Tapping on podium )

All right, this is
the final briefing,

so pay special attention.

We'll cover our procedures
for tomorrow, Sunday.

The stadium will be swept for
explosives again at 4:00 A.M.

I wish to emphasize

that this must be
a very thorough operation.

Special forces teams

will also be searching
every area

under and around the stadium
that could possibly conceal

one or a series of bombs.

Our information is that
there could be

up to a thousand pounds

of explosives.

At 1215 hours,
the president's box

will be searched.

From that time on,
there will be six men

continuously on duty.

At 0800 hours tomorrow,
the series of snap-checks

at airports for hidden ordnance
will be doubled.

A final identity check

will be made at all hotels,
motels, and lodging houses.

Roadblocks will be prepared
at all sides of the stadium.

At 1200 hours,
the roadblocks close tight,

and no vehicles will be allowed
to pass through.

Green street, 16th Avenue.

623.

Q&r.
Main ramp.

At 0500 hours,
the Miami police officers

guarding the president's box
will be replaced

by the white house
secret service detail,

which incidentally
has been doubled.

At 0600 hours,
the police helicopter

will be on duty, patrolling
the entire stadium area.

At 0700 hours,
the ground crew arrives.

They've all been cleared.

At 0730 hours, every available
Miami police officer,

plus a special detachment
of 250 FBI agents,

will be on duty at the stadium.

Brickoe.

Well, I thought
I was on vacation,

I thought I was going

and see the game.

Last night, the middle
of the night, I get a call

from this jerk-off Farley,
completely shit-faced

some broad stuck her finger
right in his eye.

( Laughter )

You putting me on?
The poor guy.

Well, is he going
to make it, or isn't he?

Hey, pal, I got the suit on.

Okay, let it roll, men.
Thank you.

Oh, thanks.

Captain lander.

With a very strong wind

Roy Gerela of the Pittsburgh
Steelers ready to kick off

in the biggest football game
there is, the super bowl.

Pat Summerall with
Tom Brookshier, and Tom,

you could feel the pressure
building up all week.

( Whistle blows )
So here we go.

Super bowl is underway.

( Whistle blows )

Knocked out of bounds at the 44.

First and ten, Dallas.

Gerela with the tackle.

Roy gerela finally got him
out of bounds

as Dallas breaks
in Pittsburgh territory.

They are in good shape, tom.

( Whistles blows )

A gain of about two yards.

Five-yard loss.

Third down and 13.

( Game announcing continues )

Say, Ron?

Can you go back and
get me a coke, please?

Yeah, that sounds like
a good idea.

While I'm back there,

I think I'll pull
an envelope inspection.

Watch the mic wire.

Gotcha.

Hey, Mike,
what the hell's going on?

What's the matter?

The port engine's
trailing smoke.

Man:
Hey, lander, we got fire!

Hey, hey, hey,
just everybody relax.

It's nothing Vickers
can't take care of.

Yeah, but Vickers
can't take care of it.

Vickers ain't up here.

Did you call him yet?

Yes, I called him,

and I told him we
were coming in.

Announcer: Back to the 25,
Henderson on the tackle.

First and ten, Pittsburgh.

Why do they keep
all these lights on?

Television wants them.

Remember how they set off
that telephone

in the ship's cabin?

Mm.

How long do you think
it would take enough heat

from these lights to generate

a thermostatically-controlled
bomb in here?

I don't know.

I did that once,
you know, in Tel Aviv.

We checked the junction boxes.

There's a guard
on the main bus panel.

Well, I think these people could
enjoy this game well enough

in the sunshine,
don't you, Mr. Corley?

Bradshaw to Grossman for the TD.

( Applause and cheering )

I think it's getting worse.

You think too much.

We have some banquet rooms
on this side over here.

Santos, turn that down.

And I thought I told you
to take that to 401.

I did. There was a "do not
disturb" sign on the door.

It's for captain Farley,

but he's flying the Goodyear
blimp in the game today.

Put it up there,

and don't forget to
bring back the passkey.

Announcer:
Time-out, cowboys.

Agent Franco, come in, please.
Agent Franco, come in, please.

Franco here.

This is Corley.
Give me Kabakov.

Kabakov here.

Major? Major, it's the blimp.

We have a confirmed report
that Farley the pilot

has been found murdered
in his hotel room.

( Whistling )

( Game announcing continues )

Bradshaw...

Slo-mo a...
Excuse me.

Excuse me, could any
of you gentlemen

please tell me
where the blimp is?

Who let this man get in here?

Would you tell me
what happened to the blimp?

Would you mind leaving, please?

Sir, I just want to know
what has happened to the blimp.

Bob, will you get the guy
out of here?

Would you mind?

Ready, set.
Take it. Set.

We've got 75 million people...

Is this man in control of it?

Get him out of here!

We've got 75 million people...

Let me tell you that
there are 85,000 Americans

who will be murdered

if I don't know
where this blimp is!

The blimp has a
mechanical problem.

It's gone back to its base.

Would you mind leaving?
Thank you, sir, thank you.

90 seconds. Okay,
thank you, Terry.

And one.

( Crowd roaring )

( Whistle blowing )

( Applause and cheering )

( Game announcing continues )

( All talking at once )

( Low rumbling )

Hey, the blimp!

Holy...!

Hello, ma'am.

What have you got?

Television equipment.

Okay, Mike.

Why didn't you call in?

I did call in.

But what happened?

What do you mean, what happened?

Can't you see
the goddamn thing smoking?

Yes, I can see that,
but what happened?

Two air lines broken.

What does the panel indicate?

The panel indicates
it's in the red.

Man:
Vickers?

Telephone.

Network. Urgent!

Take over.

Get to the blimp!

Get out there now!

Vickers here.

What?

Jenkins?

Jenkins, have your crew help
unhook the trailer

and get that onto the gondola.

Come back, everybody.

And help him unhook the trailer.

What is that? You
won't believe this.

They want this new thing underneath
here, and they want it now.

The network wants it. Vickers
is in there arguing with them.

How much weight is that thing?

It weighs 1200 pounds,
so get all those sandbags off.

Come on.

All right, all right!

Jesus!

This is costing
175,000 bucks a minute.

Hold this.

Get it under there.

( All shouting )

Get those sandbags off.
It'll never fly.

All right,

the locks are on...
come on, come on!

( Shouting )

I refuse to...

Get rid of all
that television stuff.

We're on our way.

What are you doing?!

Are you out of your mind?

( Grunting )

( Crowd roaring )

( Whistle blowing )

Touchdown Dallas.

Cover me, cover me.

Oh!

( Glass breaking )

( Engine revving )

My God, here it comes.

( Siren blaring )

( Gunshots )

( Glass breaking )

( Gunshot )

We're still too heavy!

Get him out of here.

We'll never get it off.

Keep firing.

( Helicopter whirring )

The helicopter!

Get him out.

( Engine starting )

Got a high-powered rifle

and a sub-machine gun
in the trunk.

( Helicopter whirring )

The backup fuse.

Take it, run it through
those two doors,

and tie it to the dome snap.

( Engine roaring )

All right. We're going
to shoot the goddamn thing down.

Can't shoot it down.

It's filled with helium.

We are going to kill the pilot.

( Whistle blows )

( Grunting )

( Crowd roaring )

( Whistle blowing )

If anything happens to me

or happens to this,

you use this on the backup fuse.

Here comes the police copter.

There.

Man:
This is the police.

This is the police.

Return to base immediately.

Return to base immediately!

( Machine gunfire )

( Applause and cheering )

( Engine humming )

( Crowd cheering and chanting )

Bring this in
on the left side of it!

Get us some more time.

Cover me.

( Yells )

Sam!

( Crowd cheering, whistling )

Announcer:
Touchdown, Pittsburgh.

Take her down, now!

( Engine sputtering )

I think I got both of them!

But it's still going on!

( Groaning )

( Cheering )

What about this cargo hook?!

Can we hook it up?

We sure in the hell can try.

( Grunting )

( Crowd cheering )

Steady!

( Groaning )

Down!

( Grunting )

Go, Dallas!

( Shouting )

( Crashing, screaming )

( Screaming )

( Shouting )

( Pandemonium )

Pull her up.

Try to hold it!
