Van Nuys Tower, this is One Rocket Charlie.

Do you copy?

Roger, One Rocket Charlie, go ahead.

I'm leaving your airspace, headed westbound.

Destination, downtown Los Angeles.

Roger that.

Looks like clear sailing ahead.

Until next time, have a good one, Carrie.

Zitex Security.

This is the Heliscort pilot.

I'm making my approach.

Requesting permission to land.

Affirmative.

You're clear to land.

We've been expecting you.

Hi, morning.

724 Spring Street.

You're clear to land on the roof and move in.

I'm running late.

Yes, sir.

LA Tower, this is One Rocket Charlie.

One Rocket Charlie, go ahead.

I'm heading eastbound, leaving your airspace.

Roger, you have traffic at two o'clock.

Roger, LA Tower.

Thank you for flying Heliscort, sir.

Call us again sometime.

Yeah, yeah.

This is One Rocket Charlie.

Where are you, handsome?

Yeah, yeah, keep your shirt on, keep your shirt on.

One Rocket Charlie, wake up, Chauncey.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, keep your shirt on, keep your shirt on, what's up?

I'm finished with that drop-off, so...

I'm headed home until my next call.

I'll be on my pager.

Yeah, listen, will you just make sure you have it on this time?

Mr. Booker, how are things at Zitex?

Fine, Chief Mather.

- How was your flight from Langley? - Smooth.

Let's do this. Public places make me nervous.

Daylight makes you nervous.

It's not every day that you hold in your hands something

that could affect the balance of power on the planet.

When do we get the next piece?

As soon as Uncle Sam pays for this one.

Right.

Thank you, Mr. Booker.

Go, go!

Come on, get out of here.

Go!

Watch out!

Go!

Let's go, back up!

I wouldn't come any closer.

My noble adversary.

Tis that, that vain circumstance...

You know I can't let you have this.

...pushes us to the very brink.

Ciao, bello.

Up against the wall, spread out.

Anything you say, Detective.

Damn it.

Shit, not again.

Yeah, I can't believe it.

I'm sorry, honey, this must be real important.

I told him not to bother me.

Wink here.

Yeah, yeah, all right, I'll be right in.

Look, I'm sorry, honey, I gotta go.

Go where?

You know, I don't know, some big thing downtown,

some shootout in an alleyway, I don't know.

See, that's why you don't wanna have a baby.

You're married to the police department, not me.

That's not true.

Unbelievable.

Honey, look, I love you, but you knew I was a cop when we got married.

We'll have a baby, we just have to wait for the right time.

Gordy, you lied to me.

Carrie, that's not fair, that's not it.

Bullshit!

When would we have time for a kid?

I mean, you work days, I work nights.

I told you I'd stop flying for a year.

You're the one making up all the excuses.

You really wanna bring a kid into this world?

I mean, you know, while you're up there flying around in the clouds all day,

I'm on the ground seeing the worst shit imaginable.

It's like we're on an express train to hell at 150 miles an hour.

Well, excuse me for still believing in Sunday walks in the park and little babies.

Listen, Carrie, honey, I'm sorry, but I can't help the way I feel.

Fine, go.

Fine.

Damn it, I forgot.

Jimmy dropped me off, my car's still at the station.

Honey, could you give me a lift, please?

With pleasure.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, hey, easy, easy, come on.

Man, man, man, man, man.

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!

Not so close!

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!

Lucky for me you don't fly like you make love or I'd be in trouble.

Well, if I did, we wouldn't be having this conversation.

Listen to me, I'm not ready to be a father yet.

Let's wait another year and talk about it then, okay?

Look, I just don't wanna talk about it anymore.

This is the way I feel, honey, why don't you understand?

Because I want a baby.

- Carrie, forget about it, all right? - I gotta go.

All right, fine, go.

Bye!

One Rocket Charlie, One Rocket Charlie, do you read me, over.

This is One Rocket Charlie.

Hey, Carrie, listen, I got you a good client over at the Nuitani Hotel.

They'll give you the destination when you're in the air.

Well, hello to you too, Chauncey.

Well, hello to you too, Carrie.

Are you happy now?

Listen, this guy is a real big spender.

He got four hours guaranteed, maybe more.

So it's VIP status all the way.

There's one guard left.

"I cannot lie, I was humping my goat.”

So the DA says: "But there's more to the story,

- isn't there, Farmer Brown?" - Of course.

So Farmer Brown says: "After I finished humping my

goat, the goat turned around and licked my balls.”

At which point, the judge turned to Farmer

Brown and said: "Hey, a good goat'll do that.”

A good... Come on, Gordy, I had everybody rolling with that this morning.

You know you're sad, man.

A call sits in the vicinity of 1421 Balfour.

Respond to a 411 in progress.

That's right around the corner.

Well, let's jump on it.

This is unit 12 Apple, we're en route.

A prettier pilot than I'm accustomed to.

So, do you have a problem with women pilots?

When a world of men could not prevail with all

their oratory, yet hath a woman's kindness overruled.

Henry IV.

Yeah, I feel in good hands already.

What's our destination today, sir?

A high-rise condominium on 4th and Grand Long Beach.

Address, please?

Why do you need that?

I have to call it in, sir.

It's regulation.

1416 Grand.

I'm tired, I'm so tired.

Hey, I got another one for you.

No, I don't wanna hear it.

- It's about a hitchhiker. - Just go.

You sure?

Yeah, all right.

Jimmy, check this out.

- What do you got? - It's open.

Shit.

Take the car and go around.

- Call for backup. - Right.

This way.

The chip is right here.

Yeah, okay.

Yes.

Great.

We got company.

Who are you?

- Zarkov! - Say it again.

Cuff yourself.

Officer requesting help.

Shots fired.

Jimmy!

Jimmy!

Jimmy!

Jimmy!

Jimmy, come here, man!

God, Jimmy, no!

No, Jimmy, come back!

Jimmy, no!

Wait for us.

Mr. Fairfax, I'm so glad you could make it.

A pleasure, Mr. Simpson, a pleasure.

Would you like to partake in some of my delicacies?

Pardonnez moi, monsieur. The schedule.

Thank you for remembering, my friend.

De rien.

Another time, another place.

Perhaps, Mr. Simpson, but for now, business is of the essence.

Suit yourself.

Come, this way.

I don't say a fucking word without my attorney being present.

If you don't, I'm gonna shove your teeth so far down your skinny little throat

you'll be shitting molars for a month.

You don't have the balls.

Neither did that pussy partner of yours.

Motherfucking weasel.

- Gordo? - I should send you straight to hell!

Gordo!

Gordo, it's not worth it.

Gordon.

Look, I know how you feel.

Jimmy was a hell of a guy.

Jimmy was more than a partner to me.

He was like a brother, and I'll be damned

if I'm gonna let that murdering little prick get away with it.

Just stay calm.

Do your job.

Gordon.

I'm sorry about Jimmy.

It's a fucking shame.

Yeah, thanks.

Listen, you hear anything from Interpol yet?

Unless we can find somebody with Delta 4 clearance,

they're not gonna tell us shit.

- Delta 4? - Yeah.

The guy's gotta be a fucking merc.

Yep, probably worked for the CIA at some time.

How about the Zitex Corporation?

- You talk to them yet? - Yeah.

What they took was a silicon carbide instrument platform.

- Well, what the fuck is that? - I don't know.

It's got something to do with satellite

guidance or tracking or something like that.

Evidently, it comes in four interlocking pieces.

Look at this thing.

They only got one piece.

Right.

Without these other three pieces, it's useless.

Thank you, Jimmy.

You can go now.

Two of my men died obtaining this.

I should charge you 100 extra grand.

What a small price for infinite power, Mr. Simpson.

I'm glad you see it my way.

Authentic.

Perfect.

We are halfway home.

As for you, Mr. Simpson.

What?

You are all the way home.

Welcome, my fräulein.

Good night, sweet prince.

Let's go, I'm running late.

So, how was your meeting?

A smashing success.

So, what's our next destination?

Zitex Corporation downtown.

Why'd they have to call me in on a Saturday?

I had a date with a beautiful blonde.

Yeah, right.

Dirty Harry.

Dudley Durat of the Mounted Police.

What's up?

Herby...

The name's Officer Dudley Wright to you.

Don't move or I'll put a bullet up your ass so far you'll be pissing out your nose.

Just wait 'til I get my badge.

Morning, Ralph, Mike.

Morning, Mr. Pollard, getting into a little overtime?

Nose to the grindstone, Ralph.

Where you going?

1600, I'll be in 1600.

Mr. Drake's office?

Yeah, I've got to install some new software in the old man's computer.

Talk to you later.

Michael Horn, Paul Stern, left to right on CR

and the cable ready network on your radio dial.

What an incredible game of

J.R. Williams. He's been doing a great job, hasn't he, Paul?

Yeah, this is Wright.

I'm going on my round.

Sure, Dudley, copy that.

UCLA, Syracuse 100, what an incredible effort by

J.R. Williams.

It's stupendous, Mike.

I'm telling you, he has been hitting shot after shot this entire--

Charlie to Base, it's One Rocket, Charlie, do you copy?

Do you copy?

Is anyone out there?

Is there a problem?

Lost com, our radio doesn't work.

Sorry, but we'll have to land.

Out of the question, I'm already late as it is.

The building is closed, just go there.

We have permission to land.

Wait here for us.

We'll call into your dispatch.

You can see our in the cable ready network on your radio dial.

Been an incredible game of J.R. Williams.

He's been doing a great job, hasn't he, Paul?

Very, very sharp, Mike.

All right, back to UCLA with the ball.

Come down, hammer it real quick.

He's up, he's got it, he's in with another basket.

102, UCLA, Syracuse.

Shit.

It is just incredible the way he has been hitting it

right in that timeout call as UCLA now ahead.

102, Syracuse, 100.

Au revoir.

- Mr. Charlie Drake? - Hi.

Hi.

Do you mind if I use the phone?

Sure, just use the one out there.

Thank you.

And make it quick, I've got a lot of work to do.

Thank you, sir.

And could you close the door on your way out?

Sure.

Regardez.

Anyone who is wearing their badge shows up in their position.

Anyone not wearing a badge is supposed to come

online with the Sensidor heat laser system.

Yeah.

Hello, Chauncey?

Hey, Carrie, what's up?

My goddamn antenna broke off.

I don't know how, but it's gone.

Shit.

Listen, just stay put.

First, I will take care of the phones.

Hello, hello.

Hello.

Hello.

Next, we'll lock off the building.

No one gets in or out without our permission.

Move it, move it!

Now!

All right, come on, move it!

Let's go!

The package has just arrived.

He's got the case, but both men are armed.

You know, I don't trust these bastards or anything.

- I want you to cover me in the lab, okay? - Yes, Mr. Cranston.

Okay.

This is Mr. Cranston.

How do you do, Mr. Cranston?

Let's dispense with the fucking formalities.

Where's Fairfax?

Cranston, good to see you again.

- Comment allez-vous, Monsieur Salva? - Très bien.

I'm delighted you decided to accept my proposal.

Yeah, well, I thought if I was going to sell my soul

to the devil, I might as well go straight to the devil himself.

Thanks for the flattery, but I'm merely a man, and if you prick me, I do bleed.

Jesus, you're still doing that Shakespeare crap.

Can we get on with this?

- You have the other three pieces? -Yes, I do.

Good.

Yes.

Now for phase two, the money.

- The money is the root of all evil. - You son of a bitch.

But Mr. Cranston, I can still see you.

D'accord, he is on the elevator going up.

And he just got off on the 20th floor.

Jesus, who are you?

I'm a helicopter pilot.

- What happened? -I, I...

Go!

Okay, gotta stop, gotta stop.

Okay, what is going on?

They're gonna kill us for what's in this briefcase.

Attention, attention, they are headed for the roof.

I can't go anymore.

This is bullshit.

I'll cover you, you just take this and get out of here.

Go on.

Go, go!

The end of life cancels all bands.

Fuck you.

Later, baby.

Ciao.

Shit.

Shit.

Shit.

Shit.

Find that bitch.

Shit.

Hey, Ralph, I got two dead bodies on monitor seven.

Ralph?

Ralph?

My God.

Mes amis?

Your cleanup was pitiful.

There are people all over this building.

Now hurry up and round up the rest or we will never find that pilot.

Here you go.

Thanks.

Hey Billy Ray, be careful.

Beep beep, beep beep, roadrunner come through.

Beep beep beep beep.

Mr. Drake.

What the hell happened to you?

Some people were trying to kill me.

You stay here and I will go get security.

We have some activity on the elevator and...

Ha, alors, alors, look, it is our friend One Rocket Charlie.

Come on, get in here quick.

Hey, take it easy babe, got all afternoon.

Shut up.

You like the strong silent type, yeah I can do that.

Look, why don't you and I, we get a little more, you know, I like those zippers.

And she has a friend with her.

Shut it down.

What the hell's going on?

I've stopped them on 23.

I...

Look at me, we're gonna make it out, okay?

Come on, snap out of it.

I can't breathe.

Shit.

Go check around front.

Okay.

It's too hot for this BS.

Nasty fall.

Nice watch.

Hey listen, that's not really my concern right now.

Did you get any word on the hitters?

Yeah, yeah, they were slick.

Foreign, professional.

Damn it.

You know how to get to the roof?

Yeah, yeah sure, follow me.

Let's go.

Doesn't look like anybody's been up here.

Well, let's check it out.

Yeah, well, I'm calling in.

Hey Clancy, Gordon, you get anything on that weasel yet?

Jesus Christ, Gordon, where the fuck have you been?

We got bad news, man.

Somebody got to him.

What does that mean, that somebody got to him?

I mean somebody waltzed into the station and iced him.

He's been dead for two hours.

Shit.

Clancy, have you heard from Gordy?

My man, if I was you, I'd get my ass down here.

Captain's throwing a flying shit fit and he's looking for you.

Hey, what's up?

Look at this. Tell him I'm coming right in.

All right pal, you got it.

Where'd you find this?

Over here, man.

Yeah, Heliscort.

Hey, Chancy, it's Gordy.

Hey, Gordy, how the hell are you?

Has Carrie called in yet?

She called from her phone booth and she said that

she had radio trouble but then we got disconnected.

I don't know, she just disappeared.

What?

What do you mean she just disappeared?

Where was her last drop?

Hyatt Regency in Long Beach.

I checked but she's not there.

Now listen, I'm up here at the Hyatt Regency,

I'm up on the roof, there's a stiff down at the pool.

I got a bad feeling about this.

You go to shoot, safety right here.

Don't shoot with your finger, just the tip.

Not bad, huh? Okay.

Remember what I told you.

Remember, I'm from Mexia, Texas.

Mexia, Texas.

But there are things that you can do good.

- Is that right, such as? - Yeah.

Come on, let's go.

There's only 11 spots to land a helicopter in Los Angeles.

She must be at one of them.

Check all the other floors.

I want this bitch caught right now.

Take it easy.

Shut up! This man has something he wants to tell you.

You want the good-looking blonde in the jumpsuit?

Yes.

I know where she is.

I tell you, you let me go.

- Deal? - Deal.

Zarkov, Zarkov.

You're slipping up, buddy.

- Freeze, don't move! - Cut it out.

You're one of them, aren't you?

Do I look like a killer to you?

Yeah, yeah, you could be.

Give me that.

Hey! You can't do that.

You don't even have any bullets in here.

It could go off.

My insurance only pays half.

I've got some activity next to this stairwell on 23.

Leidermeier, take care of it.

We need a place to hide.

Do you have a place to hide?

Yeah, yeah, come on.

In here, this way.

In here.

Give me the bullets.

Okay, come on.

I think it's better if I back you up from here, okay?

Time to die, you blonde bitch.

I did it.

I did it.

Leidermeier?

Leidermeier?

Leidermeier?

I think we've lost Leidermeier.

There it is, that's our chopper.

You circle around and head back.

My God. They've got hostages.

We gotta do something.

We can't just leave them there.

Yeah, I know, but what... Damn!

What?

They've got the emergency containment system on.

Every exit's locked up tight.

I'm gonna go look for a way out.

I can't just stay here.

All right, hey, be careful out there?

You too... Slugger.

I have an intruder alert on the top floor in the stairwell.

It couldn't be her.

It's the police.

Mommy?

Mommy, where are you?

Mom?

Mom, where are you?

Mom?

- Are you okay? - I'm scared.

I want my mommy.

Your mommy's gonna be fine.

Come on. Come on.

Here, here. Shh.

Okay, shh.

Okay, they're not here.

Let's go.

Yeah. All right.

What's your name?

Billy Ray Johnson.

Well, Billy Ray, I'm gonna go find your

mommy, and I want you to stay right here, okay?

No, don't leave me. I don't want to be here alone.

Hook me up to the PA system.

I don't have time for petty games.

Every five minutes, I will kill a hostage until you return the case to me.

And by the way, I have enough for about one hour.

Thank you.

Look, I'm gonna find a safer floor for you to hide on, okay?

Okay.

Hello?

- I have the case. Do you want it? - Yes.

Is this One Rocket Charlie?

Yes, and I'll make you a deal.

You release the hostages, and I'll tell you where I've hidden the case.

How do we know you won't lie?

I'll tell you what.

I'll turn myself in, and that way you'll still have a hostage.

Agreed.

So, where are you?

I'm where it's hot.

No.

We have got a fire on seven.

Fairfax, you have an appointment with a pilot on the seventh floor.

Damn it!

Nakim, put out the fire in the west hall of seven.

Damn, now we're going to have visitors.

If it isn't One Rocket Charlie.

Okay, I'm out of here.

A deal's a deal, right?

You little prick.

You see, that's what's wrong with this society.

Women like that. Can you believe this shit?

Technically, sir, you did not deliver.

I found the woman.

Wait, stop.

I siphoned off hundreds of thousands of dollars, and I can cut you in on it.

And now he wants to make me his partner.

Or better yet, it's yours.

A plague upon it when thieves cannot be true to one another.

No!

Now to you, Mrs. Wink.

If you harbor any hope of staying alive, you tell me where the case is.

Let the hostages go, and I'll tell you--

You're hardly in the position to bargain, Mrs. Wink.

This is a very big building.

You could be looking for that briefcase for months.

Natasha, would you be so kind and kill one

of Mrs. Wink's precious hostages, please?

No!

Wait!

Shall we go for another?

No, I'll take you.

Go around!

Putain de con!

The whole fire department has shown up.

Natasha, roll out the red carpet.

I swear it was here.

Bullshit.

Come on, man, let's just off this bitch.

I don't have time for fucking games, baby.

I swear it was here.

Maybe it's on a different floor.

You take her in there.

She's yours to play with, and you come with me, Zarkov.

Okay.

Yeah, my pleasure.

You and I just gonna go play a little bit.

Help, help!

Come on!

Holy shit.

This is Captain Woods here.

Got a Code 3 situation.

Give me SWAT, paramedics, and a crowd control unit.

Now.

This is not good.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

Not good at all.

Maybe we should abort, Fairfax.

Nobody gets out of the building until I have what we came for.

Hello, my friend.

Wayne Doleski.

I designed the Simmons 588.

The computer operating system that runs the building? I built it.

All right, Wayne.

The hell do we get in there?

May I?

Dear, that's not good.

What?

I designed this high-rise to withstand civilian

riots, paramilitary attacks, things like that.

The developers? South Africans.

We were pretty happy with it when it was finished,

but then that's why they paid me the big money.

All right, big money.

How the hell do we get in there?

Well, basically, you're fucked.

God was very good to you, wasn't he?

Too bad you missed out.

You know...

I usually prefer to buy ladies a drink first.

But excuse me if I just don't have the time.

Doesn't sound so bad to me.

Inside the building.

It's Los Angeles Police Department.

Open the lobby doors or we'll make a forced entry.

I repeat, open the lobby doors.

We are the People's Democratic Liberation Party.

We have 17 hostages, and we will kill them all if provoked.

We stand for honesty, democracy, and the American way of life.

The government is evil, and we are willing to die for our cause.

There is a four-wire shutoff switch to the main computer.

Now, if you can get to the four wires and cut 'em,

fuse a digital transponder to the lines, then I can override

the computer's centricon and open the building from out here.

Theoretically.

Yeah, baby.

Yeah, baby.

Sit back and have some fun.

Yeah, I want to.

I'm gonna show you what a real man feels like.

Attagirl.

Now, see, isn't that better?

It's much better.

- Is this gonna be a shotgun wedding? - No, no, baby.

You fucking whore!

You wanna fuck me?

Go on, fucking shoot me!

Fuck you!

Well, fuck this!

That's Johnny Hill.

Let that serve as an example.

If you attempt to rescue or display any form of aggression

against us, we will throw another hostage to his death.

The people's liberation will not be intimidated by bureaucratic arm-twisting.

So what I want to say, Captain, is don't fuck with me!

Shit!

Back up! Move it!

Go, go, go!

We can't stop.

- Let's go! - Go!

Go!

My leg!

Shit!

Short guy?

God. Please.

Please.

Au revoir.

Good.

Interpol again. South Africa, RECCE Commando.

South Africa?

What an irony.

IQ 175, Oxford graduate, ex-SAS, lead covert

death squad in Angola, Bosnia, and Namibia.

What the hell would that son of a bitch want here?

Why'd they have to pick my building?

I'm telling you, man, I didn't see no silver case.

So why the fuck you don't look again?

All right, all right, man.

You didn't say no black case.

Silver.

- Whoa! - What's that, man?

- Hey, man, were you from Eastside, man? - Not really.

- Where from, man? - From hell.

Go around.

This is my job, you putain.

Zarkov, the cop is in the basement.

Take care of him.

Gordy.

Honey.

- Are you okay? - Hey, baby.

I was looking for you.

I was looking for you.

Listen, I gotta go check on the hostages.

- Hostages? - Yeah, hostages.

Hey.

I love you.

What are you doing here?

I thought we were going to meet up on the roof.

The plan has changed.

I know.

This fucking bitch fucked up everything.

Actually... she has made things much simpler.

Alas, poor Jacques.

I knew you well.

Parting is such sweet sorrow.

Drop it.

Fuck you.

Does anyone know how to disable the computer system?

- I do. - I can help, too.

Come with me.

Oh my God.

Don't worry.

He's one of them.

All right.

My God.

There's a kid loose in the building.

I'll go get him.

Wink, come back! She's crazy.

Try system five.

Come on, come on.

Are you having fun?

We did it.

We did it!

We did it!

Come on, come on!

They're headed to the roof.

- I don't want to go! - Shut up!

I want my mommy!

Wink.

So very nice you could join us.

We're ready for departure.

Get in. Please.

Get in.

Get in the chopper, now!

Not till you let the boy go.

Let her go!

Gordy, wait!

We can all live through this.

I have a very nervous trigger finger and very little patience.

Look, I'll make a deal with you.

You let the boy go over to Gordy, and I'll take you anywhere you want to go.

I don't even like children.

I'd rather play with you.

Go to Gordy.

Come here.

There was never a story of more woe than this of Juliet and her Romeo!

Gordy!

No!

No, no, no, please.

There is no--

This is Judy Lang, KDCC News.

I'm standing here live in front of the Zitex building,

where just a short hour ago hostages were released

in what appears to be a terrorist takeover.

We are still waiting for details on casualties.

- Are you okay? - Yeah.

Excuse me, ma'am. Can I get a call?

Just sit here.

There you go.

All right, got it.

See?

I told you everything would be okay, didn't I?

See? Give me a kiss.

Look who I see.

Got a surprise for you.

- CD! - Look at that.

Look who's in there.

Your mom is waiting.

Let's go in.

Hey, Gordy.

You're lucky your wife was there to take care of you.

Well, thank you, Captain.

And he thinks I can't have a baby.

I give. I give.

Hey, hey.

Okay, okay. Enough of this.

Now, both of you get inside. Now, come on.

One of you guys give me a hand here.

Just...

Here we go.

All right, they're in.

All right, folks, show's over.

Get 'em out of here.

Move it back.

Let's go.

Come on.
