[ 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.

- [ Bubba ] You only have
\h\habout two more quarts to go.
