[ No Audible Dialogue ]

[ Chaney ] JAFO, give me an E.T.A. to target.

[ Wonderlove ] I figure about another two minutes.

[ Chaney ] That should give us about a half an hour to rescue that witness...

and get her back in time for the trial.

If we don't cut that, it's all over.

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hWe're comin' up on it, \h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hFrank. Going on whisper mode.

[ Beeping ]

[ Hushed Whirring ]

There it is.

[ Chaney ] Ah, a walled estate.

Perfect place to hide a kidnap victim.

Chaney to Rolling Thunder. \hChaney to Rolling Thunder.

Do you read? We hear you loud and clear, Thunder.

- Are you in position? - Yeah. Right near the gate.

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h[ Bubba On Headset ] \h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hIs it a go? It's a go.

But remember, I want that lady out in one piece.

There's a lot riding on this, guys.

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hMake it smooth. Like silk, Thunder. Soft and smooth.

Blast the hell out of that gate.

[ Tires Squealing ]

- Looks kinda solid, don't it? - I'll let you know \h\hin exactly two seconds.

Whoo! Somebody still knows how to red dog down there.

Means you and I go round the end. Hang on for turbo.

[ Wonderlove ] How are we gonna get her out of there before they decide to kill her?

Need just a little confusion to draw them outside.

That oughta wake somebody up.

What's goin' on? \h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hWhat on earth was that?

All right, everyone. Take positions. Come on.

What do you say we dust them?

[ Gunfire Continues ]

Hold it, suckers!

[ Ski ] Drop your guns! Get those hands up!

Hit the house with the veri-mikes.

Let's see what's going on inside.

[ Man ] Sounds like an army out there.

[ Man #2 ] Let's take her out the side door.

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h[ Man #1 ] \h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hYeah. Let's go.

What's that chopper doin' here? [ Chaney On P.A. ] Hold it right there.

Federal officers. You're under arrest.

Get!

You're a federal agent?

To tell the truth, ma'am, I feel more like-- more like Sir Galahad.

Oh.

Watch your head.

Okay.

Not bad, Frank. \h\h\h\hAny time, Bubba.

\h\h\h\hHow you feeling, ma'am? A lot better than before you arrived.

But it's hard to get my bearings. How long have I been here?

Lassiter's men abducted you three weeks ago, ma'am. [ Engine Starts ]

Then it's too late. The trial's over.

No, ma'am, we got you just in time.

You're the one that's gonna put Lassiter away for a long, long time.

Captain. Mrs. Moynihan, this is Captain Braddock.

We're very glad you're safe, ma'am. \h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hThank you.

My name's Minelli. I'm with the district attorney's office.

And as you may or may not know, your testimony--

These gentlemen have explained everything.

- Then you'll testify? - Against Richard Lassiter?

I'd crawl through fire to testify against that man.

Thank you, Captain.

Nice work, Frank.

Thank you, Captain.

[ Reporter On TV, \h\hIndistinct ] \h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hHey, JAFO,

I've been chewing on this for the last five minutes and I haven't hit an anchovy yet.

Ski, may I make a suggestion here?

Look under the pastrami.

See, for reasons unknown to the scientific community,

"anchovi" love to gather and hide under pastrami.

The theory here is that it's a instinct stamped into their genetic code.

Well, I'll stamp your genetic code.

You know, last time you forgot to order the mushrooms, and now it's the anchovies.

Lay off the kid. And stop drippin' on the captain's desk.

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hWho's drippin'? You are. \hYou always drip.

You drip soup. \hYou drip mashed potatoes.

And now you're drippin' that tomato sauce all over--

Hey, quiet down, guys. It's comin' in.

[ Reporter ] The trial of financier Richard Lassiter...

reached a stunning and unexpected conclusion today...

when a witness whom the prosecution had been unable to locate...

suddenly appeared to take the stand against her former employer.

Mary Alice Moynihan, Lassiter's confidential secretary,

furnished details about his conspiracy of fraud, extortion and intimidation...

which gained him over $60 million in illegal pension funds.

They swindled every cent of it from poor people who could hardly afford to retire.

An aunt and uncle of mine were ripped off by him. Their whole life savings.

Judge Arnold Schulman sentenced Lassiter to 25 years at Greenlake Penitentiary,

a medium-security facility located in the central part of the state.

Lassiter was vehement about the unexpected arrival of the witness--

Well, make yourself at home, fellas.

Oh, we thought you'd left, Captain.

- Obviously. - Wait a minute, sir. \h\hNot yet.

Nothing more than a mockery of justice. This wasn't a jury of my peers.

It was a jury of morons who resent the fact that I make more in one hour...

than all of them put together make in their entire lives.

I'm innocent of any wrongdoing whatsoever.

And I serve notice that I intend to use every means within my power...

to regain the freedom taken away from me...

by a biased application of judicial nonsense.

Did you see the look in his eye when he said he was innocent, hmm?

All right, gentlemen, the party's over. I got a lot of paperwork to do.

He actually thinks he's above the law,

that he's some kind of superior being who doesn't deserve punishment.

Stop taking it so personally, will you, Frank?

I mean, the man was convicted. He was guilty.

He's gonna do 25 years in Greenlake prison. What do you want?

Captain, Greenlake is not a maximum-security prison.

Didn't you hear what he said? He said he would use every means within his power to get free.

He's talkin' about the judicial system.

He's talkin' about lawyers, appeals, that kind of thing.

I don't think so, Captain. I think he's talking about escape.

He doesn't believe \hhe belongs in prison.

You know, the best time for that to happen...

is when the marshals are transporting him to Greenlake.

All right.

I'll alert the proper authorities.

Now, will you do me a favor and go home and get some sleep?

Yeah.

I'm sorry, Captain, but I think Blue Thunder should fly cover...

while he's being transferred to prison.

If there's any sign of an ambush, we could spot it a mile away.

Now, look,

I don't wanna see you, \hI don't wanna hear you...

until tomorrow morning at 8:00 when you come on duty.

Do I make myself absolutely clear?

Yes, sir.

[ Pencil Clatters ]

[ Woman On Radio ] Air 20, you're cleared for takeoff to the north.

Watch for incoming bird, Air 15.

Wind from the east, four knots.

There's nothing I'd rather do at 6:30 in the morning-- [ Grunts ]

than go flying, Frank, but I can't help but wonder, what are we doing here?

That is a perfectly reasonable question, JAFO.

This is a training exercise. Hop in.

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hDon't lie to me, Frank. Lie to you?

I would no more lie to you than I would disobey a direct order from my superior officer.

- Tickle that computer and get \h\hme a bearing on that convoy. - What convoy?

The one that's taking Richard Lassiter to Greenlake Penitentiary.

You're gonna get us in trouble, Frank.

Ah, don't be ridiculous. That's why I wanna know where the convoy is headed.

So we can stay well away from it... while we're training.

[ Woman On Radio ] Blue Thunder you're cleared for takeoff to the west.

Watch for cross traffic.

Wind is from south-southwest, approximately six knots.

Air 10, please hold your pattern until cross traffic has cleared on the helipad.

Wind is from the east, approximately seven knots.

This is Unit 42 checking in.

Operation proceeding on schedule.

What's that truck doing there?

All units, they've stopped us on the road. We'll have to check it out.

Take cover!

We must've drifted off course.

What do you suppose we have here? Can that be shooting I see?

I knew it. I knew you were gonna get us in trouble.

I knew it the minute \hI woke up.

You had it all figured out, didn't you, Lassiter?

You didn't figure on us.

- [ Beeping ] - Incoming missile! \h\hWe've been fired on!

I should've known he'd bring his own air force.

[ Beeping Continues ]

Wanna play for keeps, Lassiter? That suits me just fine.

- Hang on for turbo. - [ Beeps ]

He's trackin' us. 5,000 feet and closing.

- How much time do we have? - About eight seconds.

[ Chaney ] Can you jam it?

[ Wonderlove ] Not in eight seconds.

Okay, let's play a little dodgeball.

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hNice flying. Yeah.

He's turning tail. Maybe he doesn't like dodgeball.

Call in the description of that plane, JAFO.

We'll go down make sure we still got Lassiter under wraps.

[ Wonderlove ] Code red. P-51 Mustang, H-0937, armed and hostile.

\h\h\h\h\hNice work, Blue Thunder. Thanks, Sheriff. Pleasure was all ours.

Him I didn't wanna lose.

As soon as they get us more vehicles, we'll get him to prison.

Why wait for that, Sheriff? We'd be happy to deliver him for you.

Well, I'm not sure about that.

I promise you, Sheriff.

I personally will see to it that he gets to that prison.

In that armored chopper of yours?

Okay, he's all yours.

Come on, Lassiter. You got a ticket on "One-Way Airlines."

[ Blue Thunder's \h\hEngine Starts ]

Well, it seems like this strange-looking helicopter keeps popping up in my life.

I wonder what I did to deserve it.

Shouldn't be too tough to figure out.

Okay, let's get down to basics.

I'll pay you each a million dollars to fly me to Mexico.

A million dollars?

From there I'll guarantee you safe passage to any country you pick in South America.

I knew you were a swindler and a cheat,

but I didn't know you ran a travel agency on the side.

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hOne million each. \h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hWhat do you say? [ Mouths Words ]

Ah, the noble warrior,

pure, honest and stupid.

Maybe so, Lassiter.

Maybe so. But I'll go home and sleep in my own bed tonight,

and I'll eat the food I choose, and I'll come and go as I please.

I'm a free man. You think about that for the next 25 years.

[ Man ] Okay, when the camera starts rolling,

the cameraman will point and I'll start talking. Excuse me.

Just relax and be yourself. Okay, you ready?

Five, four, three--

What's going on here, Douglas? \h\h\h\hUh, just a press conference, \h\h\h\hsir.

We're talking with Officers Chaney and Wonderlove of the Blue Thunder unit.

I suppose he's explaining why he disobeyed a direct order of mine, huh?

I really don't know.

Officer Chaney, how is it that you happened to be at the scene of the attempted escape?

Well, uh--

In all honesty, all the credit should go...

to our commanding officer, Captain Ed Braddock.

You know, the remarkable thing about it is, it was nothing more than a hunch, a gut instinct,

the kind of sixth sense you develop only after years of police work.

There's Captain Braddock now.

What about that, Captain Braddock?

What was it that made you send Blue Thunder to escort Lassiter to prison?

Well, uh, I suppose--

I guess it's an instinct, uh, as Officer Chaney said.

Thank you.

You'd just better straighten up and fly right.

You understand what I'm tellin' ya? [ Door Opens ]

Number two.

Are they treating you all right, Mr. Lassiter?

Yeah, just great.

Listen, I intend to get out of here as soon as possible.

Get hold of Jones. His number's in my safe at the office.

- Mr. Lassiter, I don't think-- - Just do what I tell you, \h\hunderstand?

- Remember who pays for \h\hthe clothes on your back. - How much should I tell him?

Tell him he's bein' activated. I'll be givin' further orders when I've worked out the plan.

- He'll know what to do. - Mr. Lassiter,

we still have legal avenues to explore.

No, you tried that, and it didn't work, remember?

Forget about appeals. They take too long.

Listen, I wanna get out of this hellhole no matter what it costs.

Do you understand?

Jones. That's the name he said.

Jones. I'm sure of it.

[ Chuckles ] "Jones." Well, that shouldn't be too hard to trace.

Shouldn't be more than 50,000 Joneses in this state.

What else did he say?

Well, just like I said.

He wasn't gonna stay in stir any longer than he had to.

He was gonna give Jones orders when he got the plans all set.

And he didn't care how much it cost.

Willie, did he say how this plan was going down or when?

No, no, no. That-- That's all I got.

Hey, I'm sorry.

That's okay, Willie. Look, when you get back there,

you keep your eyes and ears open, okay?

Maybe you'll pick somethin' else up.

Yeah, well-- well, you see, that's the problem.

I mean, uh, when I discussed this with the warden, we made a deal.

Know what I mean?

What kind of deal?

That I'd come here and tell you people what I heard.

Then I get a transfer to the farm.

I got only one more night and I won't be there anymore.

Look, I'm really sorry. You know what I mean?

But that place is hard time.

I'll be glad to leave, get outdoors.

Maybe grow some vegetables.

It's about time I did something positive in my life.

Willie, thanks a lot. We appreciate you talkin' to us.

You've been a big help.

Hey, uh, good luck, huh?

And I hope you keep this guy in for a long time.

He's not a nice man.

Thanks again, Willie. Good luck with the vegetables, huh?

Yeah.

[ Door Closes ]

I knew Lassiter wouldn't sit in prison for 25 years.

Come on. It's not our case. I don't even know why the warden sent the snitch down.

It's because he's smart enough to know that this unit is the best way to hold Lassiter.

That's ridiculous. There's over 500 well-trained federal guards in there.

They can handle the situation. They can't keep 'em on full-time alert for Lassiter.

Blue Thunder unit can do the work of 50 guards.

Please, Captain, get on the phone. Call APEX.

Get us on the case.

What if they say yes? \hWhat then? Huh?

First, we figure out his plan by sending Ski and Bubba undercover as prisoners.

Now wait a minute. \h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hSay what?

Put them in with 500 cons? What if they got wise?

Ought to be a fair fight.

Hey, Captain, you don't think we can handle it?

I can be the baddest mother you ever laid eyes on.

You mess with me,

and I'll be the last thing you'll ever see.

You got that, sucker?

I thought that sounded pretty tough to me.

Scared me. \h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hThanks, JAF.

I can work with 'em, Captain. \hI mean, really.

They can handle it.

Now, please, call APEX. Get us on this case.

If they say no, Frank, that's it. No.

They won't,

'cause I know how persuasive you can be.

[ Sighs ] Get me APEX.

[ Woman On Radio ] Air 10, you're cleared to land...

as soon as Air 12 has taken off.

Air 6, please hold until Air 10 has landed.

The warden and the head guard.

They'll be the only ones who know who you are...

so you're gonna have to rely on yourselves.

Any questions? \h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hNo, sir. \h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hWe understand.

There's one other thing. One of you's gotta go in as a guard.

It'll allow you more flexibility. You can move around.

Okay, I'll be the guard.

Wait a minute. I should be the guard. \h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hHow come?

Because I'm bigger than you, and you couldn't keep me in line anyway.

- Since when? - Okay, fellas, take it easy. \h\hWait a minute.

You don't have to get into character yet. [ Phone Rings ]

Hello, this is Braddock.

Yeah, put him through.

Yes, Warden. No, they're still here.

Yes, I'll tell 'em. Thank you.

He's not gonna cancel the mission, is he?

No, no.

He just called to tell you guys to be careful.

They just found our friend Willie in the yard with a knife in his back.

[ Man ] Good. Now, in rhythm.

In rhythm there. Go on. What's wrong with you?

[ Continues, Indistinct ]

All right, gentlemen, keep the lines tight.

I know you're dyin' to get to work, but keep it orderly.

Come on.

Come on. Get movin'. Pick it up.

Get goin', grunt. \h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hWhy, you--

That stampin' machine is waitin' on you.

Hey, fresh fish.

Big tough guy. \h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hHe don't look \h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hso tough to me.

It's that mustache. Maybe I'll rip it off his face.

And maybe I'll rip your arm off your shoulder!

Then you gotta go for me left-handed!

Knock it off, big man! We know you're bad.

Yeah, I'll show you how bad I am! [ Grunts ]

You wanna get back to work now?

Now you're destroyin' government property.

And I'll destroy you if you hit me with that thing one more time!

[ All Shouting ]

- Take it easy. - Come on. Make it look good.

- [ Shouting Continues ] - You're killin' me.

You're the one that wanted to be the guard, remember?

[ Whistle Blows ]

All right, all right, all right! You got him.

I have a special place for you, my friend.

It's so deep underground, they're gonna have to pipe the light down to you.

Take him away.

[ Man ] Okay. Back to work. The fun's over, guys.

Let's go. Move it. \h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hYou see that?

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hIt took three guards \h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hto take him down. He could come in handy.

We're gonna need some muscle when the time comes out in the yard.

Look, Lassiter, he just got here.

We don't know him. He could be a plant.

I'm not interested in what he could be. I wanna know what he is.

You're a trusty here, Duffy.

You got this whole joint wired, don't you?

You can find that out for me, can't you? \h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hYeah.

Okay, come on, fella. You can come out of there.

Looks like you stood the hole pretty well. \h\h\h\hI've been in worse places.

You know, they add time to your sentence for every infraction.

That doesn't bother me, buddy, 'cause I'm not planning...

to be around here long enough \hto do the time I've got.

Oh, you got a plan to escape? All I know is, that big guy with the stick...

messes with me one more time, I swear I'm gonna kill him.

They can put me in the gas chamber, but at least I'll be out of here.

You really mean that, don't you? \h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hWhy not?

I spent most of my life in prison. I might as well spend the rest of it dead.

I got a proposition for you--

a financial proposition.

A great deal of money for you and a ticket out of here. \h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hIn return for what?

Just doin' what I've already seen you do for no money at all.

[ Bubba ] Okay, hurry it up. No slackin'.

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hYou look like a man \h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hcarryin' contraband. Lay off of me.

I'm warnin' you!

[ Guard ] Okay, keep movin'. Mind your own business. Come on.

Tomorrow? You sure?

Boy, he's fast. This guy's fast.

Right after breakfast. Lassiter's on the laundry detail.

They're gonna decoy Bubba out of the way with a fake phone call.

Then I'm supposed to start a fight to distract the other guards...

while Lassiter gets in the hamper.

Then they wheel him out to the yard where the truck makes its pickup.

There you go, Ski. Two-way communication with Blue Thunder. \h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hGood.

As soon as it starts to go down, I'll let you guys know. We'll stop it cold.

No. I want you to go ahead with the plan like Lassiter says.

- What are you talkin' about? - Look, we wanna nail \h\hthis guy for good.

Just wanna make it clear to everyone...

that he's capable of breaking out of a place like Greenlake.

So we gotta let him out-- at least outside the gate. Then we pop him.

Then they'll put him someplace where they can keep him-- maximum security.

Okay?

- Yeah. - Let's go.

Excuse me, Officer. There's a call for you at the duty station.

Hey!

[ All Shouting ]

- [ Shouting Continues ] - [ Whistle Blows ]

Hey, hey, hey! Come on! Knock it off! Break it up! Break it up!

Hey! Hold on, you guys! Up against the wall!

Spread 'em, now! Hey, hold it. Up against the wall.

Yeah! Yeah, you! Come on.

Come on. \h\h\h\hParty's over. Come on. \h\h\h\hYeah, spread 'em.

Shut up over there, okay? Come on.

[ Wonderlove ] There's the laundry truck now, Frank.

- Going on whisper mode. - [ Beeping ]

[ Wonderlove ] Are you sure Lassiter's in there?

Hit the rear of that truck with a thermograph.

[ Beeping ]

[ Wonderlove ] Sure enough. Looks like he's curled up in a laundry cart.

And he's squirmin' around in there.

\h\h\h\hYou wanna take him? No.

We'll follow him to his rendezvous.

I wanna bust the whole rat pack.

Man, I hope you never get that mad at me.

Sir, I really shouldn't be in here any longer.

If you could take me in, uh, to the warden, he'll explain everything.

Listen--

Forget it, buddy, huh?

Blue Thunder from Ski.

- Come in. Come in. - This is Blue Thunder. \h\hWe read you.

I'm standing here in the exercise yard, and guess who's standing 20 yards away.

[ Ski On Headset ] Mr. Richard J. Lassiter. What?

You heard me. Lassiter.

- He's right here in the yard, \h\hbig as life. - Then who's in the truck?

[ Beeping ]

[ Wonderlove ] There's somebody in there. Who is it?

[ Chaney ] We've got to stop 'em, now.

Pull it over. We're federal agents.

[ Wonderlove ] We're federal officers.

Pull over to the side of the road.

[ Wonderlove ] If you don't stop your truck, we'll be forced to open fire.

[ Chaney ] Come out of the truck with your hands up.

I repeat, come out of the truck with your hands up.

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hWhat are you doin' here? Life's full of surprises, isn't it?

Well, how come you're not in the truck? Something go wrong?

On the contrary. Everything's goin' just fine.

Well, when do I get my money?

You'll get it. Don't worry.

[ Helicopter Approaching ]

Back off! \hBack off!

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hWhat's goin' on? Shut up!

Attention, police air unit.

This area is prohibited. You are not permitted to approach.

This area is prohibited.

[ Man On P.A. ] Check with your warden, Officer.

We're on detached service from the U.S. Attorney's office,

bringing you a government prisoner for a two-week security quarantine.

Do not attempt to land, police air unit.

We are authorized to fire if you attempt to land.

Check with your warden, Officer.

We're under federal statute and we're coming in.

Hold your present altitude and position. I will verify.

All right, you guys, back inside! Break it up! Get in there now! Now!

Stay put or I'll kill him! Come on!

Get in!

Hey! Hey! Wait! Wait! Stop!

I was supposed to go with you! Wait!

Wait!

It's crazy. I was walkin' down the corridor.

Somethin' hit my head. The next thing I knew, I was in that truck.

They were onto you. The escape was a ruse to draw us away from the prison.

You'd better blitz on back. I'll take care of these dudes.

Let's go, JAFO. \h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hAll right.

- Who's he? - Police spy.

They planted him on me to see what my plans were.

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hNow they know. What'd you bring him along for?

Insurance. Even the best laid plans run into unforeseen complications.

[ Man On Radio ] All units, there's been a break from Greenlake Penitentiary.

Be on the lookout for a Huey chopper heading south.

[ Wonderlove ] I've got him on radar.

I'll activate the zoom. We can pick him up sooner on the camera.

[ Beeping ]

[ Wonderlove ] There he is now.

2:00 high, Frank.

[ Chaney ] That's it. They took him on a police helicopter.

Nothing short of brilliant.

I blame myself. I took him in in a chopper. I showed him how.

[ Chaney ] Here we go, JAFO.

[ Wonderlove ] Federal officers. Acknowledge.

Answer on emergency channel nine.

I guess that's their answer.

I was hoping you'd do that.

Wait, wait, wait. Listen, Frank.

We have a hostage on board and we will not hesitate to kill him...

unless you discontinue your pursuit.

Do you read me?

Roger. We acknowledge.

Frank, what are we gonna do?

Clear away, Blue Thunder. We won't hesitate to kill this hostage.

- Blue Thunder from Ski. - Ski, where are you?

Look out your window. I'm the hostage, Frank.

- Are you hurt? - Just a bump, \h\hbut my hands are cuffed.

- Behind your back? - No, in front.

- I'm lying on the deck. \h\hThey still think I'm out. - We've gotta try something.

Otherwise, you don't have a chance. You know that, don't you?

Yeah, well, what have you got in mind, Coach?

How close can you come to the instrument panel?

How close do you need?

There's a switch with a red handle in the middle of the panel, the fuel shutoff valve.

Yeah, I see it. What do you want me to do with it?

I want you to rip it right out of the board. Can you do it?

Maybe. Then what?

The engine will conk out. You'll have to go down.

If that's the best you can come up with, forget it.

No, no, no. You'll auto-rotate. It'll be like a dandelion.

The last time I stepped on a scale,

I weighed a lot more than a dandelion, Frank.

Ski, listen to me.

If he gets away with this, chances are he'll kill you.

I know. Well,

let's blitz 'em.

Stop him! Get him away from here!

[ Pilot ] He pulled the shutoff valve!

[ Lassiter ] Get him! Take him out!

Hang on, Ski. We're comin' for you.

[ Groans ]

- What's wrong? - He cut the fuel! \h\hWe're goin' down!

[ Wonderlove ] He's gonna shoot Ski.

Well, I'll just hit him with a ram shot.

Go ahead. Make my day, Lassiter.

Had a rough ride, Mr. Lassiter?

Well, you're under arrest.

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hYou all right? Yeah. Thanks.

But if there's a next time, and if you don't mind,

I wanna take an elevator down.

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h[ Laughing ] All right?

A home-cooked meal. After a week of that prison food,

this is sure going to be a treat.

Yeah, they served us macaroni and cheese...

twice a day for four straight days.

Gentlemen, a victory dinner celebrating the fact...

that Lassiter is now in a maximum-security prison...

for a long time to come.

To you guys. You did a great job.

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hRight on. Hear, hear.

Let's eat. \h\h\h\hYeah, what'd you make, \h\h\h\hFrank?

Gentlemen, a homemade specialty--

macaroni and cheese.

- Is this your idea \h\hof a joke, man? - What do you mean, "joke"?

What joke? I broke my back on this all day.

JAFO here said this is exactly what you wanted.

I-- Well, I guess \hI better be going now.

I gotta wash my hair, water some plants,

and, uh, there's a few other things that I--

\h\h\h\hWe wouldn't want you to \h\h\h\hmiss a home-cooked meal. Sure.

It was a joke. I was kidding. You guys, come on.

Now sit down like a good little boy. \h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hThis is not nice.

Oh, lookit. \hOh, here she comes. \h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hSki.

Watch it. Watch it. Here it comes.
