[birds chirping]

[suspenseful music]

[footsteps in the brush]

[intense music]

You're perspiring, my dear.

Do I make you nervous?

[intense music]

Where is the diamond?

Do with me what you will.

But I will never tell you.

Really?

[music playing]

[sizzling coals]

[music playing]

Perhaps I could persuade you otherwise.

[intense music]

[EXPLOSIONS AND SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]

My true love has come to rescue me.

Your demise is at hand.

Your confidence is overwhelm ing.

So is my will to survive.

[MUSIC PLAYING AND RAPID GUNFIRE]

[explosions and music playing]

[intense music]

[tank engine]

Shoot.

[HEAVY ARTILLERY AND MUSIC PLAYING]

[rapid gunfire]

[intense music]

Drop your weapons or I'll slice her throat.

Do it.

[intense music]

Now, give me the diamond.

No, don't give it to him.

He'll kill us both.

Do it.

Give it to me now.

Let her go, and I'll throw it you.

Do you think me a fool?

You have my word.

All right.

Now, throw it to me.

[intense music]

It finally is mine.

[music playing]

TROY: Wrong again.

[intense music]

[explosion]

[soft music]

For you my dear.

Oh, my hero.

[soft music]

Ow.

Cut.

Cut.

Jesus Christ, Troy, the hell are you doing?

We almost had it perfect.

Look, I'm sorry, Ben.

I didn't mean to override your authority.

But she stepped on my damn foot again.

Look, how do you expect me to act with this woman

standing on my foot?

Oh, stop being such a baby.

Ben, I barely touched his foot.

Oh, you hear how she is, Ben. You hear her?

Look, tell her not to talk to me like that.

Calm down people.

Calm down.

I will talk to you any way I damn well please,

Mr. Superstar.

That's it.

That's it, Ben.

I don't need to put up with this.

That's all I'm gonna take. I'm outta here.

I'm walking.

Troy.

Troy.

What an asshole.

[birds chirping]

Sorry Ben.

Yeah, sure.

Wrap it up for the day, Robert.

We'll do it again tomorrow.

OK, people that's a wrap.

Dinner at 5:00.

Call time in the morning at 7:00.

Be on time.

[soft music]

[spraying noises]

[soft music]

Hey, Jack, explosions look great.

Too bad we gotta do it all over again.

Don't matter to me, Boss.

I like it.

You point at it.

I'll blow it up.

I know it.

[soft music]

How about a cold beer, Chief?

Oh, you're a good man, Doug.

You wouldn't ah happen to have an extra cigarette

on you, would ya?

Don't you ever buy cigarettes, Doug?

I do when I got the money.

You just got paid yesterday.

Yeah, but I went into town last night.

You spent your whole paycheck?

Well, there is this little filly, if you know what I mean.

Not now, Doug, not now.

Oh, keep'em.

Well, may the good Lord, take a liking to you, Ben.

[birds chirping]

[music playing]

What the hell's going on?

We're wrapping up, Boss.

Who called wrap?

Ben, who else.

We'll see about that.

[music playing]

Pudekcuf.

Huh?

Pudekcuf, that's fucked up backwards.

You've got at least two hours of daylight left.

Why the hell aren't you shooting?

Because your star walked off the set again, Jack.

What'd you do to him this time?

I didn't do anything to him.

Your little girlfriend, Joni stepped on his foot

and it interfered with his creative genius.

Don't be a smart ass, Ben.

Joni's in this movie because she's a good actress.

No other reason.

Sure, Jack.

I don't want to hear another word about that, Ben.

Now, you better start worrying about finishing this picture.

Tomorrow is the last day you have with Troy.

And you have to finish his scenes.

That's up to him.

I say, it's up to you.

You're four days behind schedule.

The completion bond company is this to shutting

us down for going over budget.

Look, it's not my fault. I've done everything I can.

I don't care whose fault it is.

Now I'm going to get Troy to the set.

And you're going to finish him any which way you.

You can cut what you want to cut.

You can tear pages from the script.

You can lose a fucking scene.

I don't care.

Just finish it.

You got it?

[birds chirping]

[crows cawing]

[music playing]

[heavy equipment running]

[intense music]

Better hurry up these girls scouts of yours.

The plane's on the runway.

I'm well aware that Mr. Cooper.

We will be on schedule, as promised.

You're the boss.

Let's go.

[engine starting]

[music playing]

Sometimes I wonder.

[MUSIC PLAYING AND BIRDS CHIRPING]

What's for supper Billy Boy?

Well, it's sort of a--

sort of a Chinese Mandarin chicken special.

Chicken and rice again, huh?

That's it.

Hey Doug, how's it going?

Don't go sneaking up on me like that.

I'm a vet.

You know what I mean?

My body is a weapon.

Well, so is my, sugar.

[music playing]

She does have a point.

So the bartender says to this guy, how come you're

drinking 12 shots of bourbon?

The guy says, I'm celebrating my first blow job.

The bartender says, well, I'll buy you 13 for that.

And the guy says, no, no, no, 12 ought

be enough to get the taste of this dick out of my mouth.

Hey everybody, watch this.

Joey.

Joey.

Joey.

[music playing]

Joey hurry.

[music playing]

Oh.

[music playing]

MICHAEL COOPER: Oo, baby.

Oh.

Dammit Jack.

What are you doing in here?

Waiting for you, what else?

Hm?

Don't Jack, please.

Come on, baby.

Let's do it.

Let's Get it on right now, huh?

I won't, Jack.

I'm not in the mood for--

Come on.

Hey, come on.

I said stop it.

So what made you so cold all of a sudden?

I'm not.

I'm just not in the mood, OK?

Well, that's certainly a first.

Oh, fuck you, jack.

So that's the way it is, huh?

I give you a starring role in my movie, and it's fuck you Jack.

You didn't give me anything.

I got this role because I'm the best actress for the job.

And you damn well know it.

Don't kid yourself, honey.

You know damn well why you got this role.

And there's a thousand others where you came from.

Oh you bastard.

[birds chirping]

[intense music]

[chattering]

Rah.

That is not amusing.

[music playing]

[birds chirping]

[music playing]

[birds chirping]

[music playing]

[drunken chattering]

[music playing]

Ran up on the boss's credit cards, by God.

I had a hell of time writing down that ah--those things

you did on the credit card.

Oh no.

[interposing voices]

[music playing]

[frogs croaking]

Hi Ben.

Hi Joni.

Peace offering.

[music playing]

Look Ben.

I know that I really screwed things up this afternoon.

But I'll do better from now on.

I promise.

[music playing]

Yeah, right.

All right.

I know that I got this role because Jack forced me on you.

And you probably resent me for that.

I know I would if I were you.

Hell, you probably even hate me.

But I am a good actress, a damn good actress.

Now, I'm doing my best here to make

things work out for both of us.

And I was just thinking that maybe if would just

be friends that it would really, really

help our working relationship.

You know?

Look, Joni, I didn't come up here to make friends.

I came up here to make a movie.

Thanks a lot, Ben.

[music playing]

Actors.

[music playing]

[intense music]

Damn you, Jack.

Come on.

That's exactly what I needed a top off a perfect day,

you idiot.

Come on, Joni, relax.

I don't mean to scare you.

I saw you walk off.

And ah I followed you.

Hey, come on.

I just wanted to say I'm sorry about what happened before.

I thought maybe we could patch things up.

Why don't you just drop dead?

[gun shot]

[intense music]

[whistle]

[suspenseful music]

Hey ah, Mr. Director, excuse me.

But now that I've been woken up at 5:00 in the morning

and I've hung around the set for three hours doing nothing,

do you suppose our almost talented

leading lady might decide to grace us with her appearance?

Look, Troy, she had the same call time as everyone else.

I don't know what the problem is.

But we'll have her down here as soon as we can, OK?

Don't worry about me.

I love overtime.

My agent loves overtime.

My manager loves overtime.

[birds chirping]

[music playing]

Where is she?

Come here.

Look, Robert what's going on?

I don't have time to play around.

Joni just got back to the camp.

Then what the hell are you doing here?

Get back down there and drag her ass up here, man.

We're falling way behind.

She's been in the woods all night, Ben.

[birds chirping]

What are you talking about?

She says Jack is dead.

You better come talk to her.

[music playing]

Get Chuck.

Chuck, you come with us.

Everybody else just sit tight.

We'll be right back.

What's up, Boss?

I don't know.

Are you sure he's dead?

Most people are when they get shot right between the eyes.

OK, OK.

It's real hard to believe.

Not for me it isn't.

Talk to me, Chuck.

Well, it's not one of ours.

And it sure as hell didn't come from a prop house in Hollywood.

There's no plug in the barrel.

The clip's full, 30 rounds.

Russian made but that doesn't mean anything.

Gun shops sell'em everywhere.

You said they spoke Spanish?

That's what I said.

Doesn't narrow it down very much.

Well next time I'll ask for a passport, OK?

Look, you guys seem to be missing the point.

Somewhere out there, there are a gang of armed soldiers

who killed Jack last night.

And they know I saw'em.

And they know I got away.

If you don't mind, I'd like to try to find out

what the hell is going on here before they come back here

and kill me and everybody else.

[birds chirping]

[birds chirping]

Well?

Do we have any live rounds of our own?

I got one box I bought for target shooting.

But that's it.

BEN ADAMS: Go get it.

And get the two M16's.

Unplug the barrels, and don't let anyone

see what you're doing.

Bring Doug back with you.

Got it.

Robert, you stay here with the rest of the crew.

Give Joey the truck and send him down the mountain

to find a telephone.

Maybe the sheriff's station can tell us what's going on.

And tell the rest of the people, we're taking the day off,

nothing else.

No point in getting everyone in a panic

until we have some answers.

It's already done.

Maybe you're wrong about this.

I'm not.

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC AND BIRDS CHIRPING]

SOLDIER FIGHTER 1: Andele.

Andele.

Oh, no, no.

Don't ever, ever do that.

SOLDIER FIGHTER 1: The General wants to see you.

Oh, it better be important.

[music playing]

You assured me the drop point would be clear.

How could you not know that people would be there?

MICHAEL COOPER: Is this all you woke me up for?

I find no humor in this, Mr. Cooper.

We cannot proceed as planned until all

those people are eliminated.

MICHAEL COOPER: Don't you think I know that, General?

I've already taken care of everything.

I closed down every possible route off that mountain.

And at dawn this morning, I sent in a search and destroy.

Now, I don't know who those people are.

I don't know what they're doing.

But I can assure you, they're not going anywhere.

And they're not talking to anyone.

Now I'm going back to bed.

[INTENSE MUSIC AND BIRDS CALLING]

Joey, are you still out there, boy?

Hey, Roberto.

What's happening?

Any news yet?

Not a damn thing.

How close are you to Ridgemont?

Hell, I don't know, 10, maybe 12 miles.

Haven't even gotten off this mountain yet.

You let me know as soon as you get there.

JOEY [on walkie talkie] You got it, Bubba.

[suspenseful music]

Hey Robert.

ROBERT [on walkie talkie]:: Yeah Joey?

There's some kind of roadblock up here.

What kind of a roadblock?

JOEY [on walkie talkie]:: Looks like a couple of soldiers.

I'll check in out and get right back to you.

Joey, get out of there, man.

Get out of there now.

Oh.

[explosion]

[music playing]

Joey?

Joey?

Shit.

[fire crackling]

Something's going on here, Robert.

We all have the right to know what the hell it is.

Ben told me not to say anything.

Yeah, well that's not good enough.

All right.

I'll tell you what I know.

Believe me, it ain't much.

[MUSIC PLAYING AND CROWS CALLING]

This is it, guys.

This is right where it happened.

You go it.

I don't see any body.

How perceptive of you.

Well, they must have moved it.

You don't believe me, do you?

I don't know what to believe.

DOUG HARTER: Hey, Chief, take a look at this.

[music playing]

What is it?

Parachute.

Hey, Chief, there's another one over here.

All right, let's go.

[music playing]

Man, there's a whole damn army down there.

BEN ADAMS: Question is, who's army?

Doug?

Don't ask me.

I thought you were in the war.

DOUG HARTER: I was.

But I kind of spent a lot of time in the stockade.

There was this colonel's daughter and--

Not now Doug.

[music playing]

JONI MARSHALL: Well, one thing's for sure.

Those people are not Americans.

How would you know?

I'm an Army brat.

I grew up on a base.

Look, if you don't believe me, why don't you

just walk right down there and ask

them where they're from, OK?

Chief, you better take her word for it.

What the hell are they doing here?

I think we're about to find out.

[gun cocking]

[intense music]

[fight noises]

ROBERT: Oh, I'm glad you didn't miss.

I'll bet you are.

Ow.

Oh.

You got to admit, the lady's got style, Chief.

Shut up, Doug.

Thanks Doug.

[rapid gunfire]

[intense music]

What am I, a track star or what?

[intense music]

You see that, Ben?

BALLS rocket.

One well-placed bullet on that sucker,

and we'll take'em all out.

Yeah, and if you miss, they'll know exactly where we are.

Doug, you're the marksman here.

Can you hit it?

Didn't call me eagle eye Hunter for nothing.

[music playing]

All right, do it.

[music playing]

[fun shot]

[RAPID GUNFIRE AND INTENSE MUSIC]

Guess I'm getting a little rusty.

Shit happens.

[RAPID GUNFIRE AND INTENSE MUSIC]

It stopped.

[music playing]

Run.

[intense music]

[explosion]

Man, that was close.

[rapid gunfire]

Come on.

[rapid gunfire]

[music playing]

Thought you could use a cup.

Thank you, doll.

There's talk among the crew.

Some say they're all dead.

They're scared, that's all.

Aren't you scared, Robert?

I'd be lying if I said I wasn't.

Yeah, me too.

Do you think they'll come back?

I've known Ben for a long time.

He don't give up nothing easy.

They'll be back.

You really believe that?

Sounded good anyway.

[music playing]

[ominous music]

I'll lead them in the opposite direction.

You three try to make it back to the camp.

Don't be stupid, Ben.

You're not exactly Rambo.

Well, there's no other way.

Someone's got to get to camp and warn the others.

Chuck, remember that scene we shot three days ago?

You mean the one where we blew away all the bad guys?

Yeah, that's the one.

Set it up again.

Have it waiting.

Consider it done.

OK, people, time for action.

You can't do this alone, Ben. I'm going with you.

No you're not.

- Oh, yes I am. - No you're not.

Yes, I am.

Doug, keep her here.

You're making a big mistake.

I've made'em before.

Here goes.

Oh.

[rapid gunfire]

That's our cue.

Let's go.

[MUSIC PLAYING AND RAPID GUNFIRE]

[crows cawing]

[RAPID GUNFIRE AND INTENSE MUSIC]

There's nothing we can do for him now.

Let's go.

[music playing]

[crows cawing]

Ah.

[intense music and crows cawing]

Now, that was cute, Ben, real cute.

What are you doing here?

I told you to stay with the others.

Well, excuse me for disobeying your commands.

Thought you can use a little help.

I'm doing just ah fine on my own.

Well, considering that dazzling display

of your physical agility that I've just witnessed,

I'd say you're lucky you haven't killed yourself yet.

And I suppose you could do better?

I didn't say that.

No, you didn't have to.

You're hurt.

How perceptive of you.

I'll try to ignore that remark.

That hurts.

No joke.

That's why they call it a wound.

Now hold still.

Got a handkerchief?

Back pocket.

Seems like you've done this before.

I have.

This one's not that bad, though.

Bullet went straight through the flesh.

You're lucky.

Funny, I don't see it quite that way.

[music playing]

Oh no, not again.

Yeah, yeah, we know the routine.

Oh.

Yeah.

Run.

[intense music]

[ominous music]

Oh.

Oh.

Well, Mr. Adams, I see you've finally come to.

Who-- Who are you people, and what

the hell are you doing here?

Michael Cooper, military intelligence agency.

BEN ADAMS: American Military?

That's right.

Since when do Americans kill Americans?

MIA is ah currently conducting some

top secret military maneuvers in this area, top secret.

I know you're going to find this difficult to believe,

Mr. Adams.

But what's happened to you and your people has been

ah simply an error in judgment.

On behalf of some of my people, a terrible one

I agree, but nothing more.

I don't believe this shit.

Next thing you're going to tell me,

you thought we were some kind of Russian spies, huh?

Are you?

Do I look like a fucking spy?

Well, I don't know.

What does a spy look like?

Look, my name is Ben Adams.

I'm a film director up here on location with a cast and crew

shooting a movie for AIP Studios.

If you don't believe me, just check it out.

I already have.

However, it could be a cover.

Oh, come on man.

What the hell do you want from me?

I want some cooperation, Mr. Adams.

I want you to tell me the location of your people

so we can move them out of the area

and continue on with our business.

Why should I trust you?

Well, I don't think you have ah much of a choice now,

do you?

This is a very, very serious matter, Mr. Adams.

And whether it was accidentally or on purpose,

you have interrupted with a top secret military operation.

And unless you start playing it straight with me,

you're going to find your ass up to your eyeballs in deep shit.

You understand?

[music playing]

Yeah, sure.

Good.

Now where are they?

About four miles due East.

That's better.

At least it's a beginning. - I want to go with you.

You'll remain right here.

You've already caused me enough problems.

[suspenseful music]

Four miles East.

Take 10 men.

[music playing]

Hey Joni.

Over here.

Oh.

Thank God.

I thought you were all dead.

Not just yet.

Chuck and Doug, they make it back?

ROBERT: About an hour ago. - Good.

What about Ben?

They got him.

All right, men, listen up.

This is your objective.

Town of Ridgemont, population 12,0000.

As you can notice, there's only one main highway running right

through the center of town.

And at both the north and south end,

this road crisscrossed two arms of the Chickasawhay River.

At precisely 0600 hours, you're going to blow these bridges

both here and here virtually shutting off all

incoming and outgoing traffic.

At 6:01, the radio station, power plant, and the telephone

company will be blown.

And at exactly 6:02, you will launch a full scale offensive

against the police station, television

station, and the air airport.

We expect by 6:05 that all these positions will be secured

at which time we'll notify the federal government that we're

holding some 12,000 hostages.

And necessary negotiations can begin.

Any questions?

All right, unit commanders, prepare your troops.

[music playing]

Why did you not notify me of this briefing?

Because it wasn't necessary for you to be here.

It didn't matter.

You know exactly everything I just told them.

It matters to me.

Look, General, don't give me your shit.

It's my people who put this operation together.

You're just here for the ride.

I'm here for a cause.

What is your cause, Cooper?

Well, we all have our reasons, now don't we?

[ominous music]

[birds chirping]

[suspenseful music]

Here they come, Robert.

ETA 30 seconds.

OK, men, we're on.

Chuck, you ready?

You call it.

I'll make it happen.

[crows cawing]

Doug?

Bring on his Commie bastards.

Stand by.

I sure hope this works.

Me too.

[birds chirping]

[suspenseful music]

Action.

[suspenseful music]

Fire one.

[heavy artillery]

[music playing]

Fire two.

[heavy artillery]

Doug, Billy.

[RAPID GUNFIRE AND MUSIC PLAYING]

Everybody else, now.

[RAPID GUNFIRE AND INTENSE MUSIC]

Fire three.

[heavy artillery]

[RAPID GUNFIRE AND INTENSE MUSIC]

Come on back, you commie bastards.

I ain't through with you yet.

[RAPID GUNFIRE AND INTENSE MUSIC]

[heavy artillery]

[music playing]

We did it.

Wooee.

Wooee.

Yeah.

Ag.

Agh.

You lied to me.

You lied to me. you sonofabitch.

There's no movie set out there.

You get a whole fucking company.

No, no, I told you they're-- ah.

Bullshit.

Where'd you get the tank?

Where'd you get the tank?

What agency are you from? - I already told ya.

Ah. Who are ya?

Who are ya? BEN ADAMS: Ben Adams.

Who are ya? BEN ADAMS: Ben Adams.

I don't believe you.

I'm telling you the truth.

Agh.

Ben Adams.

You got one last chance.

Who the fuck are you?

I'm te--

I told you the truth, I swear it's the truth.

Well?

He's got to be telling the truth.

No man can that.

How do you explain this afternoon's defeat, Mr. Cooper?

I can't explain it.

It seems this is more and more the case with you.

This problem is obviously out of your control.

I believe we would be well-advised to terminate

the entire operation.

[music playing]

Do you?

We will terminate nothing.

[ominous music]

We got to get Ben.

I know it.

But how the hell are we going to do it?

That's the problem.

I say we just rush them commie people and kill'em all.

That's how we do it.

Shut up, Doug.

What we need is a plan.

I saw a movie once a couple years ago where these guys--

Are you guys out of your fucking minds or what?

Hey Mr. Hollywood.

If I want to hear from you, I'll let you know.

Now just sit down and shut up.

Look, this ain't a movie set anymore, pal.

And I'm not just going to sit here and listen

to what you have to say.

I'm going to say what I want to say,

whether you like it or not.

Look, these people out there, they're real serious, man.

They're trained killers.

They're real soldiers with real guns and real ammunition.

We can't beat them.

We just did it once.

No, we didn't beat'em.

We just scared'em away with blanks in our guns,

a tank that doesn't shoot, and some phony explosions that

Chuck took an hour to rig up.

Now you think they're going to fall for that

again when they come back, huh?

Do ya?

Look, we're not soldiers.

We make movies.

And this isn't a movie.

This is real.

You have to admit it.

Troy's right.

If we try this again, we're all going to get ourselves killed.

I have heard just about all of this crap I'm going listen to.

Yeah, nobody asked you.

Nobody asked you either.

Let her talk.

You people seem to be forgetting

how this conversation started.

Ben's out there.

And he's hurt.

And it's because the man risked his life to save ours.

Now it's our turn.

I think we all feel the same about Ben.

But Troy's right, we can't fight an army.

But that's just it, don't you see?

We don't have to fight these people.

All we have to do is outsmart them.

Think about it.

You people are the masters of outsmarting people.

You can make a tank that doesn't shoot appear to be shooting.

Hell, you can even take a real healthy person

and make them look dead.

You create worlds that don't even exist.

You make the unreal real.

So what you did today is the same thing you do every day.

And that's all we have to do right now.

Look guys, I'm not saying that this is going

to be easy, because it's not.

And yeah, I'm asking you to risk your lives.

But I'm asking you to risk your lives

for a man who's already proven that he'd do

exactly the same thing for us.

And by God, I'm willing to take that risk.

And I'm going to give it my best shot

with or without you people.

[music playing]

I can't speak for the rest of these ballbaggers.

But I'm with you little lady.

Me too.

You point at it, I'll blow it up.

Yeah.

[music playing]

[suspenseful music]

It's showtime.

[suspenseful music]

Come on, let's go, Chief.

[rapid gunfire]

[music playing]

I'm sure glad to see you, Doug.

[RAPID GUNFIRE AND MUSIC PLAYING]

Don't stop and pray yet.

[rapid gunfire]

Move it out.

Let's move it out.

What the hell do you want?

I'm going with you.

Just don't' get in my way.

[suspenseful music]

What's going on?

Just watch.

[suspenseful music]

Agh.

Ugh.

Ow.

Agh.

[suspenseful music]

Agh.

Agh.

[suspenseful music]

What the hell is going on out there?

[suspenseful music]

It worked.

You guys are something else.

Hey, don't give us the credit.

It was all this little lady's idea.

I read your script.

I hate to interrupt this tender moment.

But I think we oughtta be getting out here.

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC AND CROWS CAWING]

[scraping of knife on stone]

[music playing]

Sure could use a nice cold beer right now.

Man, I don't even want to talk about it.

This first time in 12 years I've been sober.

And I don't like it at all.

[music playing]

Do you think we'll get out of this, Chuck?

I don't know.

We've been doing pretty good so far.

But maybe it's like Troy said.

Maybe we've just been lucky.

Maybe.

[music playing]

JONI MARSHALL: Still hurts?

That is the understatement of the year.

I ah guess I have you to thank for saving my life once again.

I guess so.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

The guys told me about your little pep speech.

You're an amazing woman.

I have my moments.

You certainly do.

[music playing]

You didn't know we'd be friends.

Friends.

I got it.

What?

I got a plan.

Come on.

[music playing]

Everybody over here, over here.

I haven't seen you so excited since we did that big stunt

on the battleship last year.

This, gentlemen, and ladies, is going to be more fun.

Pyro is ready.

How many rounds of ammunition do we have left?

I don't know, a half a clip maybe.

We used it all up when we down--

No, no, no.

Not live ammunition, blank ammunition.

How many rounds of blank ammunition do we have?

About 2,000 rounds. But why?

What good is that going to do?

Yeah, that's what I want to know.

You'll find out soon enough.

[intense music]

Go, go, go.

[intense music]

Ben?

If you pull this one off, you deserve an Oscar.

I know.

[MUSIC PLAYING AND BIRDS CHIRPING]

[ominous music]

Everything's set.

[intense music]

[RAPID GUNFIRE AND MUSIC PLAYING]

Mr. Adams, I know you're out there.

No use hiding Adams.

It's over.

Give it up.

[music playing]

Well, well, well, well.

Joni Marshall.

I should have figured CIA was involved in this.

CIA?

Uh-huh.

You're a better actress than I thought.

Thank you.

[music playing]

[gunfire]

He was no longer any use to the operation.

I mean you both saw to that.

Well, well, well Joni.

Who's your new partner here, huh?

He's not.

He's just a civilian.

Joni, you're a professional.

What are you doing taking up with an amateur?

Seemed like the thing to do at the time.

Well, sir, your professional career is about to end.

Now wait, wait, a last request.

Look, before I die ah--

just tell me what the hell is going on here.

Well, it's quite simple.

Military intelligence wants the Congress of the United States

to supply more military aid to a--

a certain Central American country.

However, they needed a little persuading.

I decided to persuade these rebel forces, led

by the late general here, to stage a terrorist attack

on an American city.

So let me guess, this attack on the American city

would cause a public outcry in this country, which would most

certainly force Congress to supply

military aid to the other side, the government forces.

Precisely.

Then you failed.

Oh, no, no, no, not necessarily.

You see, because once they find out

that an entire film company has been eliminated,

the outcry will be the same.

Goodbye, Mr. Adams.

[gunshots]

It's all over, Cooper.

You can get up now, guys.

[music playing]

[crows cawing]

[music playing]

[birds chirping]

H-- how?

BEN ADAMS: Blanks.

Last night we came to your camp and filled

your guns with blanks.

We have the real ammunition.

Not bad for an amateur, eh, pal?

Blanks?

Why don't you just kill us all?

Would you care to show him?

My pleasure.

MICHAEL COOPER (ON TAPE RECORDER):

We felt they needed a little convincing.

So I convinced these rebel forces

here, led by the late general here, to stage--

Is it live?

MICHAEL COOPER (ON TAPE RECORDER):

A terrorist operation.

Or is it Memorex?

You didn't know.

No, not really, not until now.

I appreciate it, Cooper.

I'll probably get a promotion for this.

I almost forgot.

General, you can get up now.

[music playing]

We struck up a little deal, he and I. We get the confession,

and he gets you.

[music playing]

Get him.

[intense music]

- Anything? - Nothing.

All right, move out.

[music playing]

MICHAEL COOPER: Adams.

Drop the gun or I'm going to slice her throat.

Do it.

Now give me the tape.

Give me the tape.

Don't do it, Ben.

He'll kill us both.

MICHAEL COOPER: Do it, Adams.

You let her go, I'll throw it to you.

What do you take me for?

You have no choice.

If you let her go, I'll throw it to you.

You have my word.

[intense music]

Throw it.

[music playing]

MICHAEL COOPER (ON TAPE RECORDER):

You see because once they find out

that an entire film company has been eliminated,

the reaction will be the same.

Goodbye Mr. Adams.

Shit.

Do your stuff, Doug.

[intense music]

[gunshot]

[explosion]

Old eagle eye is back.

[soft music]

For you.

My hero.

[soft music]

Cut it.

That's a wrap.

Let's go home. - Wooee.

All right.

[interposing voices]

Get this shit outta here and go home.

[soft music]
