[ No Audible Dialogue ]

[ Woman ]
And we have liftoff.

Bon voyage, Argo.
You're looking good.

[ Man ] That live
transmission from A.S.I.
Mission Control in the Mojave...

was the voice
of Chief Flight Controller
Dr. Nell Lindsay...

as she guided the crew
of the space shuttle Argo
into Earth orbit.

It was a perfect launch.

And there we're giving you
a look at some of
the thousands of space buffs...

who've turned out here
to watch America's first
nongovernmental space mission.

[ Female Reporter ]
With the space walk
successfully completed...

and Argo stabilized
in its third orbit,

they're about
to begin the critical
gene-splicing experiment.

Working conditions here
in the Mojave
for America's first...

privately funded
shuttle mission...

are a far cry
from NASA's Johnson Space Center
down in Houston.

[ Woman ] Go centrifuge.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h[ Woman #2 On TV ]
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hArgo to Ground Control.

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hGo ahead, Argo.
Request computer confirmation...

on corrected vector
heading 6067 south.

Alice confirms, Argo.

Next course correction
coming up on your pass
over the Indian Ocean.

That's it, Nell.
We're ready to test.

Stand by for experimental
subroutine 26.

Move the canister camera
over onto the capillary tubes.

D.N.A. messenger R.N.A.
The enzyme balance
is just right.

Computer analysis, go.

Third stage simulation, go.

Oh, look at that.

[ Lindsay ] In a second,
we'll know for sure
from the computer analysis.

\h\h\h\hOh, Nell.
All right.

We have
confirmation, Argo.

Repeat, confirmation.

Congratulations. You guys
just became the first people
to splice genes in outer space.

Dr. Lubin.
Is he here?

You did it, Nell.

You did the hard work, Doctor.
We just flew you out there.

Well, that wraps it up, right?
You bring the shuttle down now?

Well, that's where
Blue Thunder
comes in, Captain.

We've only got
about 20 minutes...

after the spacecraft
touches down to get
the experimental canister...

the 50 miles
back to Dr. Lubin's lab.

If we're late,
then the whole
experiment's ruined.

Well, couldn't any helicopter
ferry your canister for you?

Don't let it
out of this room, Captain,

but the genes we're modifying
are the ones affected
by bacterial weapons.

If we're successful,

you can kiss the threat
of germ warfare good-bye.

That's why APEX
loaned us Blue Thunder.

Well, you can count on us.

Thanks, Captain.
\h\h\h\hCongratulations, Nell.

Oh, thanks, Sandy.

[ Phone Ringing ]

She did it.
She's got the antidote.

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hIf she can get it
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hback to the lab.
She'll get it back.

They've loaned her
Blue Thunder.

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hBlue Thunder.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hYou were right.
Beautiful.

If that stuff
goes into production,
my Cuban deal's shot.

I might as well
just flush 50 million
bucks' worth...

of bacterial weapons
right down the tubes.

It can't go into production
if it never gets back
to the lab.

Mm.
You got it.

[ Man On Radio ]
Team leader to Blue Thunder.

Can you see
what's going on in there?

[ Chaney ]
They're dragging a guy out
behind the transformers.

[ Man On Headset ]
That's Chandler. He's why
you're here, Blue Thunder.

[ Chaney ]
It's going down
the way we thought.

They're going
to take him out.

[ Man On Radio ]
We need his testimony.
Don't let him out of your sight.

[ Man #2 On Headset ]
This is Unit 3
out on Euclid.

We've got a gray limo
heading into the plant.

[ Man #1 ]
Okay. That's Demery. That's what
we've been waiting for.

Backup units,
tighten up.

[ Chaney ]
Mr. Big's getting out of his car
and heading for Chandler.

We've got what we want.
Let's nail him.

You still want
to talk to that
grand jury, snitch?

[ Chaney ]
Chaney to Rolling Thunder.
You guys ready?

[ Man #1 ]
Forward units,
move in and take him.

[ Man #2 ] Remember, all units,
Demery and his guys
are armed and dangerous.

[ Tires Screech ]

Roll it, Joey!

[ Chaney ]
Bubba, Ski, nail that limo.
We'll take Herbie.

[ Bubba On Headset ]
Roger. We're on
Mr. Big, Thunder.

[ Siren Wailing ]

[ Tires Squealing ]

[ Bubba ]
Halt! Police!

Come on.
Out of the car.

- Come on.
- Hands on the roof.
\h\hSpread 'em out, turkey.

[ Chaney On P.A. ]
Okay, Herbie,
we're not going to hurt you...

if you just stop running.

Don't go away, Herbie.
We need you
for the grand jury.

[ Man #1 ]
We have Demery, Blue Thunder.

[ Chaney ]
We're still on Chandler, Leader.
He's got no place to go.

- [ Beeping ]
- Frank. We're getting a strong
\h\hreading on the voltage meter.

- I think it's from
\h\hthe power plant.
- It'll have to wait, JAFO.

- [ Alarm Blaring ]
- [ Wonderlove ]
\h\hFrank, please!

Pull up before our whole
electrical system blows.

[ Chaney ]
We can't let
this guy get away.

He's got the key
to busting the whole ring.

[ Chaney On P.A. ]
Hold it right there.
We warned you, Herbie.

[ Wonderlove ]
This does not look good.

- Our electrical system's
\h\hoverloading.
- I hear you.

[ Alarm Continues ]

Let's try
a few warning shots.

[ Alarm Continues ]

- [ Alarm Continues ]
- [ Electricity Crackling ]

[ Wonderlove ]
It's those transformers.
We're too close.

This meter's going nuts.
We're gonna be
in big trouble here.

[ Electricity Crackling ]

[ Mouthing Words ]

Hang on.
We're going down.

[ Wonderlove ]
We're out of control.

[ Chaney ]
I've lost the gyroscope.

[ Wonderlove ]
We've lost our whole
electrical system.

[ Chaney ]
The collective's jammed.

[ Wonderlove ]
The computer shut down.
All the instruments are locked.

[ Chaney ]
Maybe I can
restart manually.

- [ Wonderlove ]
\h\hA hundred feet and dropping.
- Come on, baby.

Yes, sir.
Two of my men
are interrogating him right now,

but so far,
they haven't had much luck.

Certainly I'd be happy
with an attempted murder charge,

but that's not the most
important thing we're after.
[ Door Opens ]

All right. Thank you.
I'll be in touch.
[ Door Closes ]

Well, the F.B.I. struck out
with Alex Demery.
He won't say a word.

Neither is
our friend Herbie,
lab technician.

Bubba and Ski aren't
getting anything at all.

Keeps saying after today,
if he testifies,
he's a dead man.

Well, the F.B.I.
can't get Demery to talk,

and if Herbie doesn't
testify against him,
there goes our whole case.

I don't understand this.

We capture one of the biggest
germ warfare traffickers
in the world,

and it's all for nothing.

Oh, Demery will get tried
for attempted murder,
but that's it.

We'll never get him convicted
on germ warfare charges.

Terrific.
So the rest of his ring,
whoever they are,

keep right on manufacturing
and selling dangerous viruses
all over the world.

Yeah, Frank,
that about says it.

I'm sorry,
but we've got trouble
right here in River City.

He's right, sir.
Our computer and entire
electrical system shorted out...

when I came too close
to that power plant.

- I think what we need
\h\his an E.C.M.
- A what?

An E.C.M., sir.
Electronic
countermeasure shield.

Now this is a device
that will protect us
if this ever happens again.

Well, maybe we ought
to get in touch with the man
who designed Blue Thunder.

If anybody can give you
this E.C.M., it's him.

Professor Von Hartig?
That's terrific.

I've read all his books on
advanced military electronics.

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hHe's your man.
Well, good.
I'll give him a call,

see if we can set up an
appointment first thing tomorrow
morning at his factory.

Good thinking, Wonderlove.

[ Wonderlove ]
Hey, after you get
a feel for this,

we can borrow another bike
and hit a couple dirt trails
I know about.

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hSounds bumpy.
Bumps are where
it's at, Bubba.

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hHey, man.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hSlow down.
We're not going that fast.

It's sure feels
like we're going fast.

That's what's fun about it.
Haven't you ever ridden
a motorcycle before?

No. And I'm...
never gonna
ride one again.

Not if I get
to work alive.

I'll get you there in time
for a second breakfast.

[ Bubba ]
Oh, I wish
you hadn't said that.

[ Chuckles ]
Hang on. We're swinging
by the doughnut shop.

[ Bubba ]
Oh, no!

Hey, I'm serious, Bub.
I'm gonna teach you how
to ride a motorcycle,

and you're gonna love it.

You will be
riding motocross
in no time.

No way.

I appreciate you bringing me
to work this morning,
but that's it.

I'll never get
on that thing again.

Hey, what are you doing
in Ski's desk?

Looking for
my felt-tip pen.

Don't touch his desk.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hWhy?
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hIt's a disaster area.

It's a disaster
he knows and loves.

You sure you haven't
seen my pen?

Oh, wow. Wow.

What's that?

"Singles Bazaar"?

The one with nothing
but personals?
Let me see that.

Hey, what's that one
he has circled in red?

[ Wonderlove ]
Listen to this.
Listen to this.

"Share my hearth.
\hBy day a trim, young,
\hjustice systems professional,

"by night I become
\ha hand-holding romantic,

"a people lover,
\h\ha gentle persuader.

"One who loves
\ha candlelight gourmet feast,

"vintage chardonnays,
\hand a good book.

"If you're a like-minded
\hsophisticate...

"ready for midnight
\hin my hot tub, you owe it
\hto yourself to dial...

Richard at 555-3912."

That's Ski's number,
but who's the fruitcake
in the ad?

"Gentle persuader"?

"Hand-holding romantic"?

\h\h\h\h\h"Share my hearth"?
"Trim"?

I told him to stay away
from controlled substances.
That's all I could do.

The last good book Ski read
was probably by Bruce Lee.

I know. Poor yo-yo probably
thinks this ad's gonna have
women breaking down his door.

Probably won't get one call.

Hey, wait a minute.

No way.
\hNo way, man.

If he ever finds out
we've been messing around
in his desk,

we're gonna end up
as cat food.

Bubba, are you seriously
suggesting to me that we could
pass up something like this?

You're right.

We owe it to ourselves.

[ Chuckles ]
Yeah!

The electronic shield
flows out in a 360 degree field
from this black box.

And this is
the E.C.M. generator
that protects your computer.

This is the key card.
Barium ferrite.

There are only two.
Yours and the one
I keep for servicing.

- Don't lose it.
- Only two for security reasons?

Exactly.

This unit is a modification.
There was no way to build it
into the integrated circuitry.

Say some joker
with a screwdriver comes along
and rips you off.

If you have your card with you,
all he's left with is this box
of surplus components.

Speaking of which,
let's take her up
for a quick test trial.

Ski, will you plug in
the laser unit?

Sure.

[ Bubba On Headset ]
Bubba to Blue Thunder,

proceeding to test
your E.C.M. shield
from the ground.

[ Beeping ]
\h\h\h\hBubba,
\h\h\h\htell Ski to go ahead.

Zap 'em with
the laser, Ski.

[ Wonderlove ]
Frank, E.C.M. works.

Terrific, Professor.
There's nothing in the sky
that can touch her now.

Blue Thunder
is one of a kind.

[ Von Hartig ]
She can do things other
helicopters can't, you know?

[ Chaney ] What gets me
is the maneuverability.
She can do anything.

- Let's take her up
\h\hfor a loop.
- What?

- A 360 degree loop.
- Not with me
\h\hon board. No.

Blue Thunder
can do it.

Uh, Professor, look.

She's very heavy.
It's loaded with armor.

Want me
to show you how?

Come on, Frank.
She's straining
to do it.

- Give her her head.
- I think we ought
\h\hto talk about this first.

Ease her over, Frank.
Just a little more.

[ Von Hartig ]
Hit the turbo, now!
She's ready to do it.

Oh, Frank.
You almost had it.

You have to believe.

Once you believe,
then you commit.

Professor, there's one thing
I believe in.
That's life.

I've committed to that.

That does not include
taking chances.

[ Von Hartig ] I'll just have
to wait till I get her
for her 5,000 hour overhaul.

You do that.

Oh, you can
set me down there
by that deserted hangar.

I left my car down there.

[ Chaney ]
Be my pleasure, Professor.

[ Engine Sputtering ]

Professor.

Still afraid, Professor?
After all these weeks.

Surely you've had
enough sessions by now
to know we won't hurt you.

[ Piercing Tone ]
We're your friends.

Come now, Professor.
Time for rest and peace.

Willi, it's time.

[ Woman On TV ]
Mission Control has
just advised us--

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hThat's funny.
What?

Oh, Von Hartig. I've been
trying to reach him
on and off for a half hour,

and I just
keep getting
a busy signal.

[ Woman ]
Sky-watchers from
Jacksonville to San Diego...

were able to catch glimpses
of the shuttle this morning
on its sixth pass over--

Probably left the phone
off the hook.

Nah, that's what's funny.
He was supposed to be here
an hour ago.

[ Sandy ]
Professor,
is this painful?

[ Piercing Tone ]
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h[ Groans ]

Shall I turn up
the volume?

Double it?
Triple it?

No? Then stop
fighting me, Professor.

What's the matter, Professor?
Pain bothers you?

The only way to stop it
is to relax...

and let my voice
take over.

So what
do you think?

He's ready.

Keep your
eyes closed,
Professor.

Relax.

Almost there.

You gave Chaney
a metal card.

Tell me
what it was for.

You're not still trying
to resist, Professor.

What was that card for?

It activates
the E.C.M. defenses.

I want you
to get it back.

Tell Chaney
you must make
further modifications.

That system
must be inoperable.

Do it now.

Do you understand?

You will see nothing
until you hear
my fingers snap.

You will not remember
anything I have said.

[ Elevator Bell Dings ]

[ Exhales ]

Okay, he's back
from the workout.

All right.
Go to it, J.J.

I don't know why
I let you guys talk me
into things like this.

Because you know
that Ski loves
a good joke.

Right.

[ Phone Ringing ]

- Butowski.
- Hello, is this Richard?

This is Richard.

My name is Lana.
I read your name in
the Singles Bazaar, and, uh,

if you're up to it, my friend
Cindy and I would love to get
together with you.

You and your friend?

Sure. The three of us
could have a real good time.

Course, we want you to be
in really good shape.

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hWhy's that?
Well, the last two guys Cindy
and I went out with...

Well, um, they ended up
with heart attacks.

Listen, uh,
you girls busy tonight?

Well, we're working
at the Bunny Club until 12:00.

- 12:00 is fine.
\h\hI'll give you my address.
- Great. Okay.

All right.
Well, we'll see you there
after work then.

Bye, Richard.

- You were terrific, J.J. Wow.
- Yeah, especially that part
\h\habout the heart attack.

Boy, will he
be surprised when
midnight rolls around, huh?

I hope you're right.
\hI gotta get back to work.

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hWait a minute
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\htill Ski leaves, okay?
Okay.

I want to try
Professor Von Hartig
one more time.

[ Chaney ]
JAFO, where have you been?
We're due at the landing site.

I know. I know.
I'm worried
about the professor.

I can't get him on the phone.
Don't worry. Maybe he decided
to drive out himself.

- Come on, move.
- I just tried calling him
\h\hone last time, okay?

Now the phone's
been busy all morning.

This time some guy answers,
tells me the professor
isn't there.

I ask him who he is,
he hangs up.

It's probably
just a mechanic.
Now move it.

Von Hartig works alone.
Always has.

I'm sure there's a good
explanation for it.
Come on.

Frank, I would like
to stop off up there
with Bubba and Ski.

Okay, kid.
But move it.

I'll meet you out there.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hThanks.

I'll see ya.

[ Chuckles ]

[ Man On P.A. ]
Mission specialist Gilford,
report to Mission Control.

[ Chuckle ]
Oh, yeah.

I always heard
that rocketry
was glamorous.

This is
stretching it
a bit. Whoa.

Cape Canvas.
You can see why
we're cheaper than NASA.

All they told me was it
was near Palm Springs.

I never thought I'd be
fending off irate armadillos
in a killer chopper.

Might be fending off
more than that.

Oh? Like what?

The experiments up there
are pretty much routine,
with one exception.

The enzymes we're making
were chosen because...

they break down
one particular class
of viruses.

What do you mean?
Like the cold or flu?

I mean the viruses used
in 95% of the world's
biological weaponry.

Are you talking
about germ warfare?

I guess people think
nothing matters in war
but winning.

This may sound strange coming
from the guy who pulls
the trigger on Blue Thunder,

but I could live
very happily...

in a world where there
are no weapons of any kind.

Someone has to
keep watch, Frank.

He's not here.
We better go on
without him.

Von Hartig says
he doesn't use
this hangar anymore.

Well, what are those
two guys doing inside?

I don't know.

But we're gonna find out.
Go around back.

Careful.
You got it?

All right.
Take it easy.

\h\h\h\h\hWe'll be ready
\h\h\h\h\hin a minute.
Okay.

As soon as you're finished,
I want--
Up on the roof!

Get him.
Come on. Move!

Some guys are welding
a laser on a Huey.

Come on.
Jump, will ya?

[ Tires Squealing ]

[ Wonderlove ] I heard
something about the shuttle.
We gotta call Frank.

[ Wonderlove ]
J.J., get a hold of Frank
out at the shuttle landing site.

Frank, can I see you
for a minute?

\h\h\h\hI got to get back.
I'll be here
if you need me.

What happened to you?
Did JAFO find you?

I've got a problem with
the E.C.M. I need to borrow
your card for a couple of days.

I have to change the code.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hWorking fine.

Oh, just a little
fine-tuning.

Officer Chaney?
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hYeah?

You just got
an emergency call
from your headquarters.

[ Gunfire ]

Frank, we need backup.
We're headed for the old
Olympic Park Tunnel.

[ Chaney ]
Roger, JAFO.

[ Gunfire Continues ]

[ Wonderlove ]
Let's go for it.

[ Chaney ]
Ski, Bubba, JAFO,
you guys okay?

Come on.
Up the hill here.

Get up on the ridge.
We'll pin those suckers down
until Frank gets here.

[ Gunfire ]

[ Alarm Blares ]

[ Alarm Continues ]

Blue Thunder to Command,
my E.C.M.'s dead.

I'm going down
in Olympic Park.

Get us out of here!

[ Bullet Ricochets ]

[ Bubba ]
Frank, you okay, man?

Why didn't you
use the E.C.M.?

The professor took back
my key card just as
your Mayday was coming in.

Von Hartig took it back?
That's funny.

Those guys that
were chasing us were working
in Von Hartig's old hangar.

They were rigging a Huey
with a laser weapon.

Which means if that Huey
goes up against Blue Thunder,

it's gonna knock you
outta the sky.

Von Hartig looks
a little bit dirty.
Wouldn't you say?

Hey, Blue Thunder is his baby.
He would not sabotage it.

We're not gonna settle it out
here. Can you get us humming?
No problem.

We'll meet you
at the deserted hangar.
Be careful.

Keep your eyes open.
Whoever they are,
they're a small army.

Okay.

Looks like whoever they are,
they took off in a hurry.

Bubba, it looks clean in here,
but you keep your eyes peeled.

Half an E.C.M. unit.

What's all this stuff?

[ Piercing Tones ]

- Cut it, Ski.
- Hey, look at this.

They stole
the professor's plans
for Blue Thunder.

It is his hangar.
\h\h\h\hYeah, but who's "they"?

And why are "they"
trying to get us.

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hWait a minute.
What do you got?

Come here.
Take a look at
these coordinates.

118-35.
Where is that?

That's the landing site.

They're after the shuttle,
and they have to get us
out of the way first.

[ Bubba On Radio ]
Frank, Von Hartig
is coming.

Do you want me
to stop him?
\h\h\hNo. Let him pass.

You stay put.

Gentlemen,
what is going on?

Professor,
I want some answers.

Let's start with
my key card
and why you took it.

I had some modifications
to make, as I told you.

Unfortunately,
the stamping machine
chewed them up.

Professor, who were the guys
working on the Huey in here?

I haven't used this hangar
since Blue Thunder was built.

I did the modifications
over in the other building.

There you go.
I knew there had to be
a perfectly good explanation.

Professor, did you use
film projection...

in building
Blue Thunder?

[ Piercing Tones ]

I'm sorry, sir.

I have to have Ski and Bubba
stick close to you until
we get some answers.

Take him to the landing site.
You and I...

are going after the Huey
before it gets to the shuttle.

Without E.C.M.?
That's suicide.

Do you have a better idea?

Professor, is there any way
to hot-wire around
the key card system?

Dr. Von Hartig?

It can't be done
without the card.

Dr. Hill, what you've
been telling us
is all very interesting,

but what exactly
is the significance
of these events...

\h\h\h\h\hhere today
\h\h\h\h\hout in the Mojave Desert.
What you have here, Trish,

is quite simply
the future--
the American techno-future.

Fan out.
We don't know where
they're gonna hit us.

Stay with me,
Professor.

...everything in the private
sector. So, we at International
Biogenics ask ourselves...

why are we waiting
for Washington...

to fund basic research
in the space program needed
to carry it out?

- We can do it faster
\h\hand cheaper.
- Professor?

And you know what?
We're all guilty
of this thinking.

You know,
"Let the government do it."

The corporations
are guilty of it.
Congress is guilty of it.

Hey, man.
Are you okay?

Uh, we taxpayers
are guilty too.

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hWhat's up?
[ Bubba ] Looks like
the old man has tripped out.

Stop fighting me,
Professor.

[ Piercing Tone ]
\h\h\h\h\hPain bothers you.

So once we broke down
those old nemeses...

[ Fingers Snap ]
anything was possible.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\hThe sound.

Lights.
I know your voice.

You've been using me.

Uh, Professor,
you and I haven't met.

I'm Sandy Hill.
\hI'm with A.S.I.

We have a few questions
for you, mister.

Aaah!
You're the one!

[ Chattering ]

Ski, he's up here.
Around back.

Right.

[ Screaming ]

[ Crowd Chattering ]

Freeze!

Professor!

Don't try to follow us.
I mean it. I'll kill him.

[ Tires Squealing ]

[ Von Hartig ]
What are you doing?

Trying to keep
that shuttle
from landing.

[ Alarm Blaring ]

[ Woman On TV ]
Ground Control, this is Argo.
We just lost our computer link.

Repeat.
We do not have
Earth-side guidance.

Acknowledge.
Repeat.
Acknowledge, please.

[ Tires Squealing ]

Red dog that sucker.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hI can't.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hI'll hurt the old guy.

[ Gunshots ]

[ Ski ]
Professor,
you all right?

I'll check Hill.

- Chaney to Thunder Command.
\h\hDo you read, Captain?
- Come in, Chaney.

Sir, we found out that
a Huey gunship is going
to attack the space shuttle.

How did you get
that information?

There's no time
to go into it now.

We're trying to
intercept the Huey.

We know they have
a laser weapon,
and our E.C.M. defense is out.

That makes you
a sitting duck.
What can you do?

Frankly, I don't know.
I'll have to figure it out
when I get there.

All right, proceed.
I'll call APEX
for authorization,

and I'm going to alert
Mission Control of the danger.

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hRight.
And, Frank,
good luck, huh?

J.J., get me Dr. Lindsay
at Mission Control, all right?
Yes, sir.

Negative, Argo.
The computer link is down
for the rest of the flight.

I don't need to fly by wire.
I'll bring her in visually.

[ Wonderlove ]
Frank, of all the crazy
things you've done,

this ranks near the top.

I know, kid, but we didn't
have much choice.

Get the coordinates
of the space shuttle,
chart its path.

Great. Then we can
find where the Huey is
and try to intercept it.

- You got it, kid.
- Ski to Blue Thunder.
\h\hCome in, Frank.

What's happening?
\h\h\h\hTurns out the professor
\h\h\h\hwas brainwashed.

That's why he took out
your E.C.M.

We got one of the guys
behind it, but the professor's
a little shook up.

- Can I talk to him first?
- Negative, JAFO.
\h\hHe's out like a light.

We just dropped him off
at the hospital.

Ski, good work.

It's Captain
Braddock.
Urgent.

Hang on, Argo.

- Yes, Captain?
- Dr. Lindsay, the shuttle's
\h\habout to come under attack.

Can you pull the shuttle
back into orbit
until we deal with this?

I can't do that.
I have no Earth-up
computer guidance.

We can land visually, but we
can't orbit without computers.

Isn't there something else
we can do?

Well, there's two things:

Hold our breath
and leave it all
to Blue Thunder.

Frank, check this out.
I think we found the Huey.

[ Wonderlove ]
Frank, we're on
those coordinates.

Hey, look.
Here comes the shuttle.

[ Man ]
What are you doing?
Go after the shuttle.

Sure, Kraft.
With them coming?

- Get the shuttle first.
- And let Chaney have time
\h\hto get behind us? Forget it.

I take care
of me first, pal.
Okay, let's go.

[ Chaney ]
Got to stay between
the Huey and the shuttle.

He's got armor
on that baby.

Yeah, he's also got a laser.
Without our E.C.M. shield,
we're totally vulnerable.

Then you're gonna have
to fix it.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hHow?

You're the expert.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h[ Sighs ]

Maybe I can
hot-wire around
the key card system.

Like you hot-wire
around a car.

[ Chaney ]
No maybes, JAFO.
Either you fix it or we're dead.

Looks like we're gonna have
to outfly this guy, JAFO.

[ Man ] This guy's good.
I can't get a laser shot
the way he's dodging.

[ Trish ] ...causes of
the computer failure still
have not been made public,

but one thing is clear.

In just a few minutes,
this mission has gone
from textbook precision...

to the brink of disaster.

Information is sketchy--

I hope Chaney's
pulling some kind of miracle
out of his back pocket.

Otherwise, that shuttle
isn't gonna make it
to the ground.

He'll make it.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hSure he will, J.J.

[ Chaney ] I'm gonna try
to shake him down here
in this canyon. Hang on.

He's still on our tail.
He must have turbo.

Then you're gonna have
to outfly him, Frank.
I need more time.

- What happened?
- He fired his laser.

- Did what?
- Don't talk, kid.
\h\hKeep working.

[ Man ]
Right there, Chaney.
Just one more second.

Now don't move.

- JAFO, hurry up. I can't
\h\hkeep this up much longer.
- I think I've almost got it.

[ Chaney ]
He's getting into position
for another shot.

[ Wonderlove ]
Just a few more seconds.

[ Chaney ]
We don't have
a few more seconds.

Try it.

It worked.
The E.C.M. worked.
We did it!

Damn.
They fixed the shield.

[ Chaney ]
Now let's show this scum.

This is it.
There's the shuttle.

[ Chaney ]
This is one thing
we haven't tried.

Von Hartig
says she'll loop.

[ Man ]
Where'd he go?

What's happening?

[ Screams ]

Looking good, Argo.
\hLooking good.

Decrease airspeed
another 20 knots.

Plenty of runway down here
waiting, Lucy.
Looking good.

And we have a touchdown.

That is beautiful.

The United States's
first commercial
space shuttle flight...

sets down with a precision
that would make NASA proud.

After a few
tense moments
here on the ground,

the landing itself
went off
without a hitch.

This is a proud day
for American Space Industries...

and for all Americans.

Frank, can you hear me?

Are you okay?
\h\h\h\h[ Chaney ]
\h\h\h\hRoger that, space pioneer.

I don't know what you did,
but we made it.

We're coming down
for that canister now.
How much time do we have?

Enough. 22 minutes.
We're back on our countdown.

Frank, are you ever planning
on doing that
360 degree loop again?

I don't know, JAFO.

Once you commit,
it's kind of fun.

Well, if you ever do,
and I sincerely
hope you don't,

take the professor,
not me, huh?

He just left the garage.
He'll be here any second.

Great.
Okay, I'm ready.

Oh, uh, hi, J.J.
You still on duty?

Yeah. I'm working
double shifts.

Listen, there's
some people
here to see you.

Oh, yeah?
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hYeah.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hTwo young women.

Really?
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hYeah, they said
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hthey had appointments,

so I asked them to wait in
Captain Braddock's office.

Hey, uh, thanks.

Lana? Cindy?

[ Air Hissing ]

- Surprise!
- Very funny. Cute.

Boy, you should've
seen your face.

Did I look surprised?
Really taken aback?

- You sure did.
- Well, allow me
\h\hto return the favor.

Gentlemen,
this is my friend, Kathy.

- Hi, Kathy.
- Hi. It's nice
\h\hto meet you guys.

I think.

You two
been friends long?

Oh, no.
Just a couple of hours.

I met Richard through
one of those personals ads.

I mean, I never thought
I could meet such
a wonderful man that way.

And, J.J., next time
you try to disguise your voice,
try an accent.

So, uh, if you all
will excuse me,

I'm gonna show Kathy
Blue Thunder,

and we're gonna go back
to her place and have
a little... midnight supper.

See you guys.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hBye.

Ladies, uh, perhaps
you'd like to join us
for a midnight supper.
