[ No Audible Dialogue ]

You know what I think?
I think this whole drug shipment
we're waiting for...

is a figment
of APEX's
hallucinations.

Well, one thing's for real.
At 1500 we'll be exactly
three hours past the E.T.A.,

and the only thing that's jumped
is my stomach.

Well, I hope everyone knows that
without Councilman Ken Joyner...

this park would've been lost
to developers.

Through his efforts, we have
preserved this green space where
our children can play and--

and where families can
come together in the traditional
fashion that we know.

Thank you.

Kidnapping in progress.
McManus Park.

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h[ Woman ]
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hNo! No!
Come on. Come on. Let's go!

[ Woman On Headset ]
Air 10, Air 10,

shots fired
and a kidnapping in progress
at McManus Park.

You're the closest Astro unit.
All other units assist.

- "All units." That's us.
- That's all
\h\hpolice units, Frank.

[ Chaney ]
There's an officer down, JAFO.

We're not gonna
just sit around here
when we could be helping out.

Come here!
\hCome here!

Come on, fella.
Move it!
Now let's go!

-[ Tires Squealing ]
-[ Chaney ]
\hJAFO, they're taking a hostage.

- There's Air 10.
- [ Man ]
\h\hAir 10. This is my call.

I'll pursue the primary target.

That doesn't make sense.
We're faster.
We should take the car.

It is his call.
I think we'd better go after
the jackrabbit, huh?

[ Wonderlove ]
There they are.

[ Chaney On P.A. ]
We're federal officers.

Stop where you are
and release the hostage.

Release the hostage.

Repeat, we're federal officers.

[ Machine Gun Fire ]

If you don't stop now,
I'll be forced to shoot.

[ Wonderlove ]
Frank, Air 10
is right underneath us.

Where the hell did he come from?

-[ Wonderlove ]
\hHe's caught in our downdraft!
-[ Man ] Mayday! Mayday! Mayday!

We have a ship going down.
Repeat, we have a ship
going down.

You all right, fella?

- Peter Anson.
- Nice goin', Chaney.
\h\hYou nearly got us all killed.

Now wait a minute. You came
outta nowhere. You were supposed
to be pursuing that sedan.

Who says? This was my call.
You had no business being
within 30 miles of here!

You haven't changed, Anson.
You still wanna run
the whole show.

You haven't changed either,
have you, Chaney?

You're still buttin' your nose
in where it doesn't belong.
Well, this is the last time.

You mark my words.
I'm gonna have
your badge for this.

[ Woman On Headset ]
Blue Thunder,
you're cleared to land...

as soon as Air 12 has taken off.

Wind from the east, four knots.

So finally,
after all the testing
and all the interviews,

the pilot for Blue Thunder
came down to two guys:
me and Peter Anson.

In the long run, they picked me.
And he's had it in for me
ever since.

Last I heard
he was flying choppers
down in San Diego.

Did he always have
such a winning personality?

He's arrogant,
vicious, vainglorious...

and devoid of any redeeming
characteristic whatsoever.

Hey, don't sugarcoat it.
How do you really
feel about him?

Anson, what're you doing here?

I'm filing a formal report
on that little incident
you provoked.

You're filing a report?
You were the one that
almost got us all killed.

Now just wait a minute. I wanna
get to the bottom of this.
Did you climb his back up there?

\h\h\h\hClimb his back?
\h\h\h\hWhat are you talking about?
He blew me outta the sky.

- That's absurd. I did not.
- Sure. I just dove under him
\h\hout of pure pleasure!

You were supposed
to be following
the primary suspect!

-You weren't even supposed to be
\hin the area in the first place!
-Now both of you shut up!

There is an officer who is
bleeding on an operating table,

a county supervisor who has
disappeared into thin air--
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hI oughta tear you apart!

I said shut up, both of ya,
and I mean it!
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h[ Anson ] You got it!

Now, Frank, did you jump
Sergeant Anson's call?

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hYes, but I--
You jumped his call, right?

And because you did it,
it directly caused
the downing of Air 10.

Yes, sir.

[ Sighs ]

- What were you thinking of?
- I was thinking I could help
\h\hthat wounded cop.

And I ended up
by saving Councilman Joyner
from being kidnapped.

Besides,
the APEX assignment
never went down.

Oh, yes, it did.
Yeah, it went down.

It was three and a half
hours late, but it happened.

- Who bagged it?
- Nobody.

Thirty million dollars
worth of Mexican brown
came into this country...

because there was
nobody there to stop it.

'Cause you were too busy getting
Supervisor McManus kidnapped.

That's enough. Now there's been
two kidnappings the last four
days of a county official.

They're askin' for
four million dollars in ransom,
and if we don't come up with it,

they promise to kidnap
another official.

- Now just what the hell
\h\hdo I tell the mayor, huh?
- [ No Audible Dialogue ]

Come on.

Now Sergeant Anson, he's filed
a formal complaint against you.

That means I gotta
go up in front of
the commander, right?

Fine.

You're both dismissed. Now.

[ Knocks ]

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hHey, Cap.
How are ya, Frank?

All right.
Come on in.

It's a nice place you have here.
Yeah, that's right. You haven't
been here before, have you?

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hNo. No, I haven't.
Thanks.

Sit down.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hOh, that's--
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hI'm fine, thanks.

Uh, you want some coffee
or a drink or something?
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hNo, no, no. I, uh--

I'm sorry it's--
it's such a bad occasion
that brings me here.

Oh.

Sounds like bad news.

Commander found you negligent
in the crash of Air 10.
You're grounded, Frank.

Yeah, well, commander's
had it in for me for years--
\h\h\h\h[ Nutshell Cracks ]

'cause I can't be one of his
nice, toad-suckin' little boys
who follows all the rules.

You know, you don't have
the best of records, Frank.

You got a lot of black marks
against you.

You've rubbed a lot of people
the wrong way for a long time.
You understand that?

Well, now everybody
wants to jump in
with both feet, huh?

Yeah, somethin' like that.

What the hell do you expect?
You wanna play this game
by your own rules all the time,

and then you don't think
you're gonna pay dues? You--
You pay dues right now, Frank.

Well, being grounded
to me is like, uh--

It's like being dead.

You're still
the best pilot I got, Frank.

[ Door Closes ]

- Did they tell you how long
\h\hyou were busted for, Frank?
- Nope.

It's a crock.
That's what it is.

[ Wonderlove ] The whole unit
is grounded. Blue Thunder
can't operate without you.

That's not entirely true,
Officer. Blue Thunder unit
will continue to function.

- Say hello to your new pilot.
- Good-bye, gentlemen,
\h\hand good luck.

All right, ladies.
As of 1335 hours we are
gonna hustle our butts...

until Sergeant Anson
asks us not to.

You can forget Frank Chaney.
From now on out,
we do it by my book.

Chaney!

Chaney, I'm Perkins.
You and I are gonna partner.

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hOh, that's swell.
Hey, listen. You're the one
that got busted, not me.

So if anything
about this arrangement's
troubling you, tough.

Okay, let's roll.
\h\h\h\hUh, Perkins, you look like
\h\h\h\ha walking arsenal.

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hWhat is all that gear?
Latest lightweight
bulletproof... vest,

lightweight frame .38 special,
snap-off tear gas holder,
speedy loaders--

all designed
to give this officer
a fighting chance in the field.

\h\h\h\hHow long have you actually
\h\h\h\hbeen in the field?
Well, actually,

a good three months now...
almost.

Just jump on the C.R.T.
and sign in, okay?

[ Helicopter Whirring ]

[ Sighs ]

All right. Let's see if we can
get this eggbeater in the air.

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h[ Switches Clicking ]
[ Engine Starts ]

Wonderlove,
your fire retardant gloves.

Yes, sir.
I-I mean, gloves, sir.

- Computer switch on.
- Wonderlove, don't you know
\h\hnot to turn that on...

until the power is set?
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h[ Switch Clicks ]

It's time you learned
how to do things my way,
Wonderlove.

This is no longer
Chaney's flying circus.

Getting hungry?

- Chaney?
- I said no 10 minutes ago.

What is that?

A copy of a case file.
No kidding. I mean, what case,
and what are you doing with it?

I checked it out
from the detectives.
It's the kidnapping--

Supervisor McManus
and Superintendent Ludkte.

High priority. Very, very hot.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hYeah, the thing
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hyou got busted for.

Temporarily reassigned.
And I suppose you think you're
going to solve it single-handed.

No, Perkins.
I figured you'd help.

So if you see
a merry crowd
of male Caucasians...

wearing Halloween masks
and carrying Uzis,
sing out, Louise.

You're dreaming, Chaney. Those
people will never surface until
they get their ransom money.

Well, the time for the payoff
came and went two hours ago.
You know what that means to me?

- What?
- Somebody else
\h\his gonna be hit.

Forty-five, 46--
Come on, ladies. Move it!

This is an exercise,
not a play period.
Move it, move it, move it!

- What in the hell
\h\hdo you think you're doing?
- Oh, I'm sorry, Sergeant.

- Here-- Here let me
\h\hget that for ya.
- Don't touch me!

Gentlemen, I don't know
who you think you're fooling,
but the joke is on you.

This screwup is going
in your files, and believe me,

I can get you busted
just as fast as Chaney.

[ Bell Chiming ]

Thank you so much,
Bishop Sullivan.

Your visit here
has truly been
a blessing.

Ah, Sister Inez,
you deserve
all the credit.

It was you that took this group
of children and made them
into a choir of angels.

There he is.
Now let's take him!

[ Children Screaming ]
Children, get back
in the hall!

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hGet back!

Now get in there!
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hFather! No!

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hNo!

at church, Sixth and Delaney.

Number one vehicle:
black, late-model sedan,

Number two vehicle:
blue sedan, license plate
428-Paul-Charles-Edward.

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hAren't we rolling?
Of course we're rolling,
Wonderlove--

as soon as I get clearance
from Thunder Command.

- It's an all-units call.
- As soon as I get clearance.

Until then,
we keep observation.

Blue Thunder, Captain Braddock
advises you to assist in
the pursuit of a black sedan,

license number
446-Ida-Boy-Davis.

Roger, Command.
We have vehicle in sight
and are assisting 12L-39!

A professional
keeps his emotions
under control, Wonderlove.

[ Wonderlove ]
Yes, sir.

There they are,
right by the train tracks.

[ Wonderlove On P.A. ]
Federal officers.
Stop the vehicle!

If it weren't for
the bishop, that limo
would be shrapnel by now.

[ Machine Gun Fire ]

[ Machine Gun Fire Continues ]

- What're they doin' in there?
- Doesn't matter.

We'll have them covered
whichever way they go.

[ Wonderlove ]
There they go.

[ Tires Squealing ]

[ Wonderlove On P.A. ]
Stop where you are,
or we'll have to open fire.

[ Bullets Ricocheting ]

Why is the driver firing?
What about the other two?

He's a cowboy, that's why.
Maybe he'll understand this.

That'll do it.
Blue Thunder to Command,
we have the car.

[ Wonderlove ] There he goes!
We'll get him later.
Let's take the others.

Watch it, Wonderlove. They could
be crouched down waiting for us
in the back!
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hRight.

Right.

- [ Wonderlove ]
\h\hLooks like we've been had.
- Great. Just great!

- Repeat, 428--
- Here they come.

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hPaul-Charles-Edward.
Is the bishop in there?

- Negative.
- Hit 'em!

[ Siren Wailing ]

[ Chaney ]
Hang on, Perkins.

[ Truck Horn Honking ]

Freeze!

- [ Chatter On Police Radio ]
- This, Perkins,
\h\his what I call good procedure.

[ Chatter Continues ]

All right. Listen up.
You have the right
to remain silent.

If you give up the right
to remain silent--
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hCut it, sister. Save it.

Just take me to somebody
who's got the authority
to cut a deal, huh?

Sure, pal.
I know just the people.

13A-43 to Rolling Thunder.
Come up on TAC-1.

[ Bubba On Radio ]
Hi, old buddy.
How's our favorite blue-suiter?

\h\h\h\hRolling Thunder, meet me
\h\h\h\hat the Sweatshop. Code two.
Roger, buddy.

- What the hell's the Sweatshop?
- A place where our friend here
\h\hcan cut himself a good deal.

[ Door Closes ]

[ Clears Throat ]

[ Clears Throat ]

Bless me, Father,
for I have sinned.

[ Whispering ]
What do you ask of me,
my son?

I ask where I go
to get my money
for this job.

[ Continues Whispering ]
I take it, then,
your mission was successful?

Yeah, it went down smooth.
But we were tailed
by this black chopper.

So I got rid of the boys and
the priest first, then I ditched
the limo, and I came here.

Any chance you were followed?
No, no. The chopper pilot
was a yo-yo.

Then listen:
Locker number 174,

the downtown bus station.

I'm writing down
the location for you.

Am I ever gonna
find out who you are
and what this is all about?

If you do, it'll be
the last thing you know
before eternity.

[ Breathes Deeply ]
Forget I asked.

Stay there kneeling...

for three minutes
without moving,
then leave.

The location will be
beside the poor box.

[ Grunting ]

- You guys busy?
- No.

We're just working out
some of our frustrations.

What am I doin' here?
[ Chuckles ]
Who are these guys?

Well, you said you wanted
a deal. These two together...
are our official deal makers.

- What's this slug want?
- He wants a ride: no booking,
\h\hno time, no nothin'.

Why don't you and your, uh,
partner go have yourselves
a cup of coffee?

That's a good idea.

Look. Uh, I'm Martin C. Sharp.
I'm on federal parole
for robbery.

The guy that got away
is Ed Lang.
He's a former cell mate.

- And you work for--
- I don't know.

Ed was my contact man,

and he took his orders
from some dude that
he never even saw.

Yeah, and I work
straight out of
the White House.

[ Grunting ]

Look, it's the truth, huh?

I mean, he calls him "Mr. M."
Whenever Ed met him,
it was in a church.

You just said he never saw him!

A confessional
at Saint Angeline's.

I mean, you know
what those things are like.
Y-You-- You talk through a wall.

You see, Perkins, how easy
creative police work can be?

All you need is
the proper environment.
Thanks, guys.

Sharp?
This way.

[ Snickers ]
Geez, I almost didn't make it.

Even stretching my imagination
to its fullest limit,

I find it hard to believe
that anyone would desecrate
the confessional...

by using it
to plan crimes.

I find it hard to believe
anyone would kidnap your bishop.

"The flesh is weak."

[ Perkins ]
Talk to me, Chaney.

Sorry, Perkins,
confessions are
out of my field.

You know, this would
be a good place
for a secret meeting.

I can't see you at all.

Chaney?
My confession
might be interesting.

You might be
pleasantly surprised.

[ Paper Rustles ]

What's wrong?
\h\h\h\hI think I know who
\h\h\h\hour "Mr. M" works for.

Who?
The police department.

[ Scoffs ]
You're crazy.

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hWhere'd you get this?
Department issue.
You know that.

Sure. It's about
the only thing
they give us free.

[ Beeps ]
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hGo!

[ Engine Starts, Revving ]

Come on. Get the lead out!
Move it!

Sergeant, do you
really think this is
accomplishing anything?

Rule number one, Wonderlove:
Lives are saved or lost by
split-second timing.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hRight.

Right. Right.

[ Braddock On Radio ]
Braddock to Blue Thunder.

Anson to Thunder Control. Over.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hReturn to base
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\himmediately.

The city has decided
to authorize payment
of the ransom money. Over.

Roger your last command.
Our E.T.A.... is eight minutes.

But if it were left to me,
I wouldn't give those crooks
one damn cent of ransom. Out.

[ Horn Honks ]

That is slower than last time by
7.2 seconds. You are not getting
better. You are getting worse.

I'll tell you what you can do
with the stopwatch, Sergeant.
You can stuff it!

- What did you say?
- I think you heard him.

I think I did too.

And I'm telling you both,
you are gonna be up on charges
of insubordination.

- I think that suits me fine.
- Me too.

Anything would be better
than this chicken outfit.

That does it!
I'm reporting you both.

- [ Bubba ]
\h\hShall we?
- I'd be delighted.

[ Yelps ]
I'm giving you a direct order!
Put me down!

[ Siren Wailing In Distance ]

[ Scoffs ] Chaney,
I don't know why I let you
talk me into things like this.

Because you owe me.

\h\h\h\hRemember, I introduced you
\h\h\h\hto your wife.
That was 10 years ago.

Besides,
I'm still payin' you back
for that little favor--

usually on my day off,
when I have tickets
for the Lakers game.

Ah, come on, Joe.
It's important.

It always is.
Last year I missed
my wedding anniversary dinner...

because I was out
in the desert with you dusting
that abandoned plane for prints.

It worked, didn't it?
We nailed one of the biggest
dope dealers on the West Coast.

Yeah? And I had to
buy my wife a fur jacket
for missing the dinner.

So, everybody
came out ahead, right?

Not me.
I'm still payin' for the jacket.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hAh.

Besides, I don't think
we're gonna be as lucky
this time.

As much as this confessional
gets used,

there's probably gonna be
fingerprints all over the place.

We're not gonna come up
with anything but smudges.
\h\h\h\hFather Dominguez told me...

this confessional's
thoroughly cleaned
every night.

And today he heard only
two or three confessions
up until 2:00.

After, no one was in here except
the guy we're lookin' for.
Okay, okay.

Just let me see what I can
come up with, all right?
But if I miss this Lakers game,

I'm never gonna do you
a favor again.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hJoe, would I ask?

Come on.

[ Chatter
\h\hOn Police Radio ]

[ Chatter On Radio Continues ]
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hSergeant,

there's two suitcases
full of cash
in varying denominations--

nothing larger than
a hundred dollar bill.

And just what are we supposed
to do with them, Captain?

Well, you take Blue Thunder
and fly it to these coordinates.

When you get there,
you'll get further instructions.
On a radio frequency?

Well, he didn't say.
Could be anything. Might even be
Morse code from the ground.

But when you do get
the instructions, Wonderlove,

I want you to get
the information back to us
by computer input.

- Don't broadcast anything
\h\hover the airwaves. Okay?
- Yes, sir.

Captain, you realize
I'll be flying this mission...

without my ground support unit,
Kelsey and Butowski.

Yes, I'm well aware
of that, Sergeant.

You don't seem
particularly upset about it...

or the fact that they are guilty
of rank insubordination.

Yes, well, I'm very disturbed.
But in the larger scheme
of things,

delivering that ransom is
my number one priority
right now.

That is inexcusable.
They are irresponsible, and
I want them out of this unit.

Wait. I was there.
\h\h\h\hKeep your mouth shut,
\h\h\h\hor I'll have you busted too!

That's enough, Sergeant!

It hasn't been
a bumper day for me,
and in case you've forgotten,

I'm in charge around here,
and there won't be anybody
busted outta this unit.

Now you've been
given direct orders.

They're urgent. Carry them out.

And get your tail
outta here right now.

Okay, Bubba.
Punch in this picture
of the prints we got.

- [ Typing ]
- [ Machinery Beeping ]

- [ Bubba ] There it is.
- What a mess. We'll never
\h\hmake anything out of that.

Hang on.
We're still in the game.

Bubba, program in just the print
we got from Father Dominguez.
Yeah, now this print we know.

Father Dominguez
was the only priest
in the confessional today.

Right.
Now, if we subtract this print
from the overlay,

we should get a pretty clear
reading of the print that was
put down on top of his.

Let's see here.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h[ Beeps ]

There you go, gentlemen.
That is the fingerprint of
the person you're looking for.

Mr. M.
The rest is up to you, Chaney.

I have just enough time to make
the opening tip-off of the game.
Joe, thanks. I'll call you soon.

I certainly hope not.
Bye, guys.
Bye-bye.

Well, fellas,
let's head back to headquarters.

We'll cross-check this print
with police files and see which
one of our boys... is Mr. M.

[ Wonderlove ] The location,
117 degrees west by 32 degrees,
nine minutes north.

I know the longitude
and latitude, kid.

Frank, the captain's
gonna be back any minute.

J.J., it'll just
take a while longer,
and it's important.

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hEven the captain
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hwould understand that.
I hope you're right.

Chaney, what are you doin' here?
Kelsey, where you and Ski been?

- I've been tryin'
\h\hto track you all morning.
- We've got an I.D. on Mr. M.

\h\h\h\hLook, it's not your case.
He's on the force, sir.
\hHe's with Metro.

And we've got a fingerprint.
Bubba's running a match
with police files right now.

Why won't you
try to do somethin'
to help yourself?

I'm tryin' to convince everybody
you deserve to come back to Blue
Thunder, you disobey an order!

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hIf I hadn't, we wouldn't
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hbe this close, sir!
Frank.

\h\h\h[ Beeping ]
[ Chaney ]
That's it. We've got it.

\h\h\h\hPunch up an I.D.
\h\h\h\hLet's get his name.
[ Typing ]

[ Beeping ]

Oh, my God.

-Captain, where's JAFO?
-He's in Blue Thunder. They're--
\hThey're carrying the ransom.

[ Wonderlove ] Sir,
we're not exactly heading for
the correct destination here.

I told you
to keep your mouth shut.

Air 80 to Command,
we're heading south
on a bearing of 180 degrees.

Please advise
if any units
spot Blue Thunder.

We just got it, Air 80.
He's been spotted.

He flew north
and now he's heading back south.
Prepare to copy the coordinates.

Hang in there, JAFO.
\hHang in there. I'm comin'.

[ Typing ]

[ Typing Continues ]

Wonderlove, what are you doing?

Sending in our position.
I'm a cop, Anson.

- Maybe you forgot
\h\hall about... that.
- Give me your gun.

Now you sit still
and don't do anything you think
a grown-up cop would do,

because I am your ticket
to life, little fella.

Anything happens to me,
we go straight down 3,000 feet.

Got the picture?

Anson, listen to me.

You don't need Wonderlove.
Let him go. Set down
and I'll stay clear.

No way, hotshot.
Your boy stays with me
until I give the word.

All right, Anson. You win.
You got us beat, and we know it.

Get lost, Chaney.
I got six mil in my pocket...

and this superbird
to fly me into retirement.

Anson, I'm not here
to try to stop you.
I just wanna make a deal.

What kind of deal?

I've got another million dollars
in cash in a flight bag.

All I want for it is JAFO.

And all I have to do
is pick the bag up, right?

What do you have
waiting for me down there,
SAM missiles?

No tricks, Anson.
Believe me.

I drop the bag first,
you take off,
JAFO stays on the ground.

- I'd have to pick
\h\hmy landing site.
- [ Chaney ] Anywhere you want.

You can wait
till I'm miles away
before you pick up the cash.

[ Anson ] How do you know
I'll let the kid go
if you're not around?

I don't, Anson.

Like I said before,
you're holding
all the cards here.

[ Anson ]
Okay, you got yourself a deal.

You see that stretch of sand?
I'll set down over there.

There's just
one more thing, Anson.

- What?
- I want the location
\h\hof the three hostages too.

You wanna be the hero, hmm?

Well, why don't you just buzz
by that old Olympic warehouse?

Chaney to Rolling Thunder.
\hChaney to Rolling Thunder.

The hostages are being held
in the Olympic warehouse.
Do you copy?

[ Bubba ]
Olympic warehouse?
Roger, Chaney. Hit it, Ski.

[ Anson ]
Now drop the money down there
in that empty field.

[ Chaney ] I think
I'll drop it down your throat
and watch you gag on it, Anson.

What are you talking about?
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hYou've been had,
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hmy friend.

You're gonna have about
35 years in federal prison
to figure out the con.

- There's no con.
- There's also no money, sucker.

You're gonna find out what I do
to people who lie to me, Chaney.

What are you gonna do,
shoot me down, hotshot?

[ Anson ]
That's exactly
what I had in mind.

What's wrong? Why isn't
it firing? What's the matter
with this sighting device?

Frank!
\hFrank, I knocked him out!

Wh-What do I do now?

JAFO, hit the S.A.S. button--
the automatic pilot.

[ Ski ]
There's the Olympic warehouse.

[ Bubba ]
We gotta take 'em by surprise.
Blitz that door!

Call the paramedics.
I'll check the place out.

Hey, Ski,
everything is cool here.
I'm gonna go check the hostages.

Oh.
Good to see you.
\h\h\h\hThank heavens you're here.

JAFO, listen to me
very carefully.

Keep your right hand
on the cyclic,

your left hand
on the collective,
both feet on the pedals.

This ain't bad.

Now the collective
makes you go up and down,
and the cyclic makes you turn.

We're gonna set this baby down
at Kitfield Airport.

You'll have a nice, long,
big runway all to yourself.

I've already contacted
Kitfield tower.

[ Man On Headset ]
Blue Thunder, this is Kitfield.
We have you in sight.

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hHow do you read?
Read you loud and clear, Tower.

How am I?
\h\h\h\hLoud and clear.
\h\h\h\hAnd don't worry.

You're cleared to land, and
we're rolling out every piece of
emergency equipment we can find.

Emergency equipment? Whoa.
Wh-Who said anything about
emergency equipment?

Frank, I thought we were gonna
leave this on autopilot?

Wonderlove, there's just
one small problem:

There's no landing mode
on autopilot. You're gonna have
to bring her in yourself.

Me? No, no. No, Frank, I--
I work the computer.

Wonderlove does not--
not fly Blue Thunder.
No, I--

The only thing I ever flew
in my life was a paper airplane,
and it crashed.

[ Chaney On Headset ]
Ah, it's okay, JAFO.
You can do it. Come on.

Come on. We'll take
a few flying lessons
on the way.

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hYou ready?
This is not happening.

It's easy.
\hIt's a piece a cake.

Just disengage the autopilot
and the S.A.S.

[ Chaney ]
Left pedal! Left pedal!

This is not easy.
\hThis is not easy.

It looks easy when you do it,
but this is not easy.

Come on.
You're a born pilot.

And-- Oh!

[ Chaney ] The collective.
Pull up on the collective!
You're descending too fast!

Tell me somethin'
I don't know.

[ Chaney, Breathing Heavily ]
Very good. Very good.

Now, let's try
a lesson known as
"stopping our descent."

We're talkin'
about landing here?
Oh, you're catching on fast.

Now just gently pull up
on the collective.

Remember to keep
your nose straight
with the pedals.

That's it.

Ease off! Ease off!
We wanna stop it,
not go into orbit.

Attaboy, Wonderlove.
\hAttaboy.

I now pronounce you
Admiral of the Air.
Because guess what, buddy.

Look down.
We're almost home.

Listen carefully.
Now don't touch anything.

All you have to do...

is keep your pedal centered
so you're square
with the runway.

Just keep it
exactly like you've got it,
and she'll fly herself.

That's easy for you to say.

[ Chaney ]
Push down on the collective.
Push it down.

[ In English Accent ]
Oh, good show.

If you gentlemen wouldn't mind
escorting my prisoner.

I'm sure you'll find
he's had a bit of
a rough flight. Ha.

[ Laughing ]
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hYou did it!

Well, uh, just say the word.
I'll-- I'll drop it
by the office. Ha-ha!

[ Sirens Approaching ]
\h\h\h\h\h\h\hWhoa.

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hIt's okay, buddy.
Yeah.
Did I really land Blue Thunder?

You're home free.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h[ Chuckles ]

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hFrank!
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hWe missed you.
All right.

[ No Audible Dialogue ]

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hHey, guys.
All right, my man.

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hWhoa!
Check it out.

Look at this cake.
Come on. Let's dig into it.

Welcome back, Frank.
I guess you heard about
the preliminary hearing.

Anson admitted he set up
that whole phony accident
just to get you busted.

Yes, sir, I did.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h[ Perkins ]
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hChaney.

I'm glad you're back
with your outfit, but I...

just wanted you to know
it was great ridin' with ya.

Same here, Perkins.

Couldn't have had
a better partner.

- [ Clearing Throat ]
- Oh, I'm sorry.

Officer Perkins,
federal officer Wonderlove.

- Hi.
- Hi.

You know somethin', JAFO?
Perkins here
handles a C.R.T....

better than anybody
I've ever seen.

No kidding?
You're into computers, huh?

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hExcuse me.
I just got this M-19 Series
microprocessor. It's great.

Maybe, um--
Maybe you could come over
sometime, and we could, uh,

do some, uh, programming.
