The Dallas Connection (1994) Movie Script

- I love your body.

- But I thought it was

my mind you were after.

- To be a world-renowned

scientist and have the

body of a Greek god?

You're too much, Jean Pierre.

On second thought,

you're just enough.

- Bonjour.

- How do you do?

I'm here to pick up a young

lady visiting Mr. Lesage.

- Mr. Lesage does not

wish to be disturbed.

- I have a present for you.

French chocolates.

They're so good

they're to die for.

- No!

- Oh, cool!

Right between the eyes!

- Give me a minute.

God you were good.

But hey,

so was I.

Platter Puss, it's you.

What a great disguise.

You had me fooled.

- Yeah, I love my

work, it's so creative.

- I don't mind leaving

my mark as a killer.

But these prints will never do.

Wake me when we

get to the plane.

- Absolutely.

- Black Widow here.

Business concluded, the

experiment was a success.

We are leaving Paris now.

We refuel in Newfoundland

and expect to arrive

in Dallas, Texas

tomorrow afternoon.

Ciao.

- That was some

scene back there.

Remind me never to

have sex with you.

- I do justice to my codename.

- Yeah you do.

- Well, my love, I should

only be gone about a week.

Tomorrow I'll be in Dallas,

the Scientific Symposium

will be in three days and

I'll be back in South Africa

before you know it.

- Be careful, my love.

- I will.

When I get back, we should

spend a week in Johannesburg

in one of those romantic hotels.

- I'd like that.

- Mmm.

- Have a nice trip,

Mr. Vandermeer.

- Thank you, Hans.

- Yes!

- This is Cobra,

business concluded.

He bought the farm.

I'll arrive in Dallas

tomorrow morning.

Come on, baby.

- The group behind

you is arriving.

- Hello, permit me

to introduce myself.

I'm Dr. Sun Hee Wang.

- Oh, the famous

scientist from Beijing.

- You are very kind.

And this is my

associate, Dr. Joe.

- Hello.

- Hi, how are you?

- Well would you two

like to play ahead of me?

- Oh no, watching you

will be an inspiration.

- Dr. Wang!

I believe you're

right over here.

Oh, and don't forget,

keep your eye on the ball.

Yeah, this is

Scorpion checking in.

Business concluded,

I guess you could say I

blasted myself out of the rough.

You could always count on me.

I'll be in Big D

by three, see ya.

- Tom, is Agent Samantha Maxx

still here in Washington?

- Yes sir, she should be.

- Get her on the agency's

security line for me.

- I'll get her now.

- Thanks.

- This is Samantha Maxx.

- Samantha, this is

Nicholas Lang here.

Pack a few things and meet

me at the agency airstrip

in one hour, we're

leaving for Dallas.

- Yes, sir.

What are we watching?

- It's all part of the

scenario, Agent Maxx.

The codename for this project

is The Dallas Connection.

Four of the world's most

accomplished scientists

had equal portions

of an equation.

That equation has

been divided into

four specialized computer chips.

Yesterday, these chips

were delivered to our main

computer center at

I/WAR in Dallas, Texas.

I/WAR is an anagram

for the International

World Arms Removal.

- This launch we're

watching on the monitor

will put a satellite

into permanent orbit

with new atomic-age technology.

It's call the Lacroix Satellite.

What's the connection?

- The Lacroix Satellite

utilizes a new technology

called synthetic aperture radar,

a system so sensitive

it can record hundreds

of detailed images every day,

through the densest cloud cover,

foliage or even

complete darkness.

It's so sensitive it can

even penetrate dirt or sand

to reveal features buried

beneath the Earth's surface

such as missile silo doors

or fortifications

containing tanks,

missile carriers and even

caches of arms and ammunition.

A powerful meteor shower

is due in three days.

This meteor shower will enhance

the energy in the system

to its most powerful potential.

If everything falls into place,

we'll be able to

pinpoint the weapons

controlled by terrorists,

drug lords and mercenaries,

you name it.

- I can see the importance

of the I/WAR timing.

If we miss this meteor shower,

there won't be another

one of this magnitude

for 130 years.

So what's the problem?

- Three of the four

scientists were murdered

within the last 12 hours.

The Frenchman was

shot in the head.

The South African was

blown up in his car

and the Chinese scientist

was exploded to bits

on a golf course in Hong Kong.

This leaves only one man, the

scientist from South America.

A man named Antonio Morales.

He left from Buenos Aires

on a commercial flight

five hours ago.

He should arrive in Dallas

shortly after we do.

Call your agents in Dallas,

Chris Cannon and Mark Austin,

have them meet us at

the arrival terminal.

We'll meet Mr. Morales' plane

and escort him to our office.

- Skyhawks Racing.

Yeah, yeah, he's out

testing the PanAm car.

I'll bring him in.

- This is Chris Cannon.

- Mark Austin here.

- Lucky break for you.

Samantha's comin' to town.

- Yeah, I haven't seen

her since last March.

How do I look?

- She's coming

with Nicholas Lang.

It ain't no social call.

- How were your trips?

They were a blast!

- You girls are looking good.

Nice work yesterday,

both of you.

There'll be a bonus

in it for you.

Cobra, I have a little

assignment for you

and Puss this afternoon.

- Cool.

You drive, I'll shoot.

Airport.

Let's go.

Thanks, Tom.

Hey, Chris.

Hey, Mark.

- Mr. Antonio Morales?

- Yes.

- Nicholas Lang of the Bureau,

we have a serious

security problem,

I'm here to escort you

to the I/WAR office.

Federal Agents Samantha Maxx,

Chris Cannon and Mark Austin.

Shall we?

- Is everyone all right?

- Are you okay?

- Let's go.

Chris,

you and Mark meet me

at the I/WAR office, I'll

clear things up here!

Sir, may I talk to

you for a minute?

- Yes.

- What we have here

is a federal case.

- Hi, Sherrie.

- Hi, Mark.

- How you doing?

- Fine.

You boys look a little stressed.

- It's been one of those days.

- Meeting's been set

up in the boardroom.

- Great.

- Thanks.

- Obviously, as we discussed,

we have a serious security leak.

You, Mr. Morales,

must be protected.

If you agree to cooperate,

the plan is to tread a fine line

between protecting your safety

and trying to lure the assassins

into revealing themselves.

- I am committed

to this project.

Please, find the assassins.

I am willing to do

anything it takes.

- Fortunately we have

the four computer chips

you and your colleagues

sent to us last week.

These chips will be entered

into the master I/WAR computer

in three days, however,

we'll need you,

Mr. Morales, to

supervise this procedure.

It is imperative

that we protect you.

You have your man,

Ron, I realize,

but I am assigning

Tom and Samantha

to alternate staying

close to you at all times.

They'll have their

special radios with them.

They can contact each

other or our office

if anything suspicious

should arise.

Just go about your business

as usual, Mr. Morales,

but please try to keep

a fairly low profile.

Now would you and Ron

wait outside for a minute?

I have a few things I want

to discuss with my agents.

Tom will join you shortly.

What I'm going to do

is unusual as hell.

I'm giving each of you a

chip to carry with you.

With these small gold chains,

you can hang them on your neck

so they're close to

you at all times.

Torn,

yours is from South Africa.

Samantha, yours is from France.

Mark, yours is from China.

And Chris, yours

is from Argentina,

from our friend

Antonia out there.

Also, Tom and Samantha,

your radios have

both homing devices

and sensitive tape

recorders built in them.

Record your actions

wherever you go.

We'll need a record of all

of Mr. Morales' movements.

He's important, don't let

anything happen to him.

All of you stay in touch.

I'll be here in the I/WAR office

Until the Dallas

Connection is made.

If all goes well, the

computer chips will be entered

into the master

computer on Friday

and hopefully Mr. Morales

will be able to initiate

the procedure to activate

the Lacroix Satellite.

Tom, you go with Morales.

The rest of you, dismissed.

Okay.

- How did it go?

- Not great.

- Not great?

You missed him by a mile.

- Yeah, but at least

I got his attention.

- It's okay for now, I have

other plans for Señor Morales.

- Hey, Mark?

Do you have those drinks?

- Here they are.

Just in the nick of time.

- Uh-uh.

We haven't seen each

other in months.

You can't expect me to

surrender just like that.

You need to seduce me,

with poetry and

music and romance.

You know, get me in the mood.

- I'd like to suck the

polish off your toes.

- Welcome to Cowboys,

ladies and gentlemen,

the hottest little

spot in Dallas!

The man in charge

tonight is none other

than the world

famous Platter Puss!

Gonna do a little

line dancing for you tonight.

We got some hot

chicks that'll blow

your boots off.

- Good evening, gentlemen.

Right this way.

- So sit back, relax,

and let the good times roll.

And remember, tip your

waiters and waitresses

and save a couple greenies

for me if you got.

We've got five women that

are gonna rock your world!

First up is Black Widow!

38D bust, standing at

6'1", believe me guys,

she's worth the climb!

All right.

Next we've got Cobra.

With a bite that'll

knock you out of sight!

Oh yeah!

Lookie there.

Next up, we have Scorpion,

with the tail sting of death.

All right.

And then we've got

the two local yokels,

these women will dance

you into ecstasy.

- Inside Cowboys.

The place is loud!

The girls are beautiful.

12:00 midnight, Mr. Morales

and Ron are entering the hotel

and going to their room.

I'm gonna get a cup of coffee

and stand guard in the

lobby for the night.

Sam!

This is Tom, I'm

leaving Morales and Ron.

Will be at the I/WAR building

in a couple of minutes.

I'll meet you at the

parking garage in back.

- Hey.

- He's all yours,

I'm going to my place

to get some sleep,

then I'll be back to work

out in the agency gym.

See you here around

midnight, okay?

- Okay

- I have a great

day planned for us,

we're going to the races.

- Oh, which races?

Hotrod or sport of kings?

- For a princess like you?

Sport of kings, of course.

I know a beautiful track

just across the state line,

it's called Louisiana Downs.

- Your next assignment, ladies.

Instructions and a certain

item, all right here.

And they're off!

And bringing in

the lead is Brandy.

Con is in the middle

and Springtime delayed.

Around the outside of the

track we have Princess,

followed by Banana,

followed by Southern Son.

And then it's Lady

Arkansas then Proper Queen,

followed up there

by Shortly Real

and trailing just

a little while.

- Yeah!

- Yeah, yeah!

Yay!

Come on, damn it!

We won!

- Yay!

- How are you?

- Great.

You know, if you back off two

turns on the rear coilover

you'll get more bite on the exit

and be able to run

lower on the groove.

Lady's got

a point there, Skeet.

Need a hand?

- Nah, I got a handle on it.

You're

very knowledgeable.

Thanks for the advice.

- You're welcome.

- So,

what's your name?

- Cobra.

- Cobra?

Do you bite?

- Frequently.

- Sounds like it

could be the starter.

Don't worry about it,

I'll have Skeet fix it.

Need a lift home?

- Actually I'm kinda thirsty.

How 'bout we go back to

your place for a drink?

- Yeah, sure, sounds great.

Hop in the Vette,

I'll go change.

- Okay.

- Hi.

- Would you mind

watching my Jet Ski

while I move my trailer?

- Sure, no problem.

- Thanks.

My Jet Ski's not working!

- Do you need a tow?

- That'd be great.

- Good afternoon.

- This way, please.

- Thanks.

- For a scientist, you

seem surprisingly normal,

even somewhat of a romantic.

- Thank you.

Yes, some of us have more

on our minds than microchips

and hard drives.

- You know, you're kinda sexy.

- I'm easy too.

Not cheap, but I'm easy.

- Good.

- Mmm!

This is delicious.

- Excuse me?

- So you are an absent-minded

scientist after all.

- Guilty.

- So, who are you

and what do you do?

- Mark.

Mark Austin.

My partner and I operate

a jet charter service and

run a small racing

team on the side.

- Hmm, sounds exciting.

- What's your name?

- Scorpion.

- Really?

Scorpion?

Maybe we should be

drinking Stingers.

- You're a beautiful

man, Mark Austin.

- Are you talking to me?

Look,

this is great and all but

I'm kinda involved.

- How'd you feel about

getting involved with these?

- Charlie, can you come

in here for a second?

- Yes?

- Yes, Frau Kessler,

Cape Town, South Africa.

Get her on the phone

for me, please.

- Right away, sir.

- Thanks.

- Got it.

- Excuse me, Ma'am, this

is a security building.

Authorized personnel only.

I'm afraid I'm gonna

have to ask you to leave.

- I'm sorry, I guess

I must be lost.

I could use a little direction.

You know what to do.

Give me 15 minutes before

you make your move.

- This is Charlie, get

me the overseas operator.

- Charlie, did you

get her on the phone?

Charlie,

Frau Kessler, did you

get her on the phone?

Charlie?

- Oh what a way to go.

Beats drowning.

- Kiss

my

ass!

Why?

Why are you here?

Who sent you?

- Thanks, Antonio.

It was memorable.

- And so are you.

I'm glad you won at the races,

I won by just being with you.

- What a piece of work.

- A right cross is

something you're born with,

it's a natural thing,

you don't just learn it.

It's not like that Kung Fu crap.

- You got a point

there, Ms. Widow.

- You bet your sweet ass!

Now grab the bitch and let's go!

- Hey, Chris!

What the hell happened to you?

- I was with this

great-lookin' chick.

I think she drugged me.

She took the Vette.

- I was with a

great-lookin' chick too.

She showed me her hooters,

nailed me with a taser gun.

I was unconscious all night.

- I still have my chip.

- Yeah, mine's still here too.

What could they have wanted?

There must be a

reason behind this.

I just don't know what it is.

My mind is a blank.

- Wait a minute, let's go!

- Those gals were pros,

we're lucky we still

have our underwear.

- That's it for me,

no more casual sex.

- Yeah...

right.

Chris, there are no signs

of bullet hits in this area.

- Mark!

These are blank casings.

There's Officer White,

why don't you see

if he knows anything, okay?

I'm gonna check in

with Nicholas' office.

- All right.

Officer White, could I speak

to you for a moment please?

- Of course.

Have you found any

of these shell casings around?

No, I sure haven't.

- Agent Cannon for

Nicholas, please.

Damn!

I can't believe it.

All right, thanks.

Mark, let's go!

- Thank you, very much.

- Sure thing.

- Bad news.

While we were out

cold last night,

somebody killed

Nicholas and Tom.

- Damn.

Nicholas.

- Small caliber

shot to the head.

- Restraints,

gunshot to the head.

- Same MO as Jean Pierre,

the scientist in Paris.

- The other body's

downstairs in the gym.

- Thanks a lot, I'll

take it from here.

- I'll go file my report.

- Captain.

- His necklace is gone.

- What can you

tell us about this?

- Well, he's been dead

about seven hours.

He was in a hell of a fight,

his neck's been broken.

- Know where his clothes are?

- Yeah, they're in the locker.

Forensics is checking 'em now.

- Thank you.

- Betty Joe, you better

bring some more tape,

this boy is huge!

- Agent Austin, Agent Cannon.

What you got there?

- Money clip, some change,

couple of cigars.

Small box of matches

and this radio thing.

- We're gonna need

to keep these.

Look, Tom was one of us.

I'll get it back to ya!

Mark, the matches are from

the Cowboys nightclub.

Reach Samantha on

the radio, let's go.

- That's good, girls,

you can take a break.

- Agents Chris

Cannon, Mark Austin.

- You guys lookin'

for some girls?

- Look lady, we're not

here to play games.

Just tell us about the

people that run this place.

- I'm only the choreographer

and the night hostess.

The new management

is tough and distant.

The owner goes by the

name of Black Widow.

She has a big house

out on Cross Lake

and I overheard them

talking last night

saying they were

going out there today

to meet some girl named

Samantha or something like that?

- Keep this visit

to yourself, lady!

- I never saw you guys.

- Oh look, Cobra,

the group's arrived.

- Okay, let me get the boat.

Get

over behind that desk!

- Cobra and Scorpion have

given me their chips,

now for the other two, please.

This is the chip Scorpion

got from Agent Mark Austin.

His was from China.

This is chip two,

from poor Tom.

His was from South Africa.

This is chip three

from sweet Samantha.

Hers was from France.

And this, my dear friends,

is the final chip.

Our lovely Cobra obtained

this from Agent Chris Cannon,

my chip from Argentina.

Oh my, my.

My lovely Cobra,

your bite is so deadly.

We've suspected you

for a long time.

Please observe.

The Frenchman, Jean Pierre,

lies dead after he's

tasted the poison

of our beautiful Black Widow.

Ah, this tape shows the

sting of our Scorpion.

Sun Hee Wang joins

his ancestors.

This tape, my dear Cobra,

was taken from the

passenger side of the Jeep

you demolished in South Africa.

Notice,

Mr. Vandermeer throws

himself to the ground

and crawls to the brush

nearby prior to the explosion.

Did you think Black

Widow's agents

would not monitor these

important assassinations?

And for the coup de grace,

my dear ladies,

Puss!

A bug,

planted in your superior's room,

Nicholas Lang.

I designed it,

it's undetectable.

I knew Chris Cannon

had been given the chip

I sent to the I/WAR office.

That's why Black Widow

assigned you to him.

You exchanged it for a fake

and brought another fake to me.

Not to worry,

I cloned my chip in Argentina

before I sent the original

to the I/WAR office.

The Dallas Connection

is complete.

I will have the power to

control the output photos

from the satellite.

It will be worth billions to me.

- Damn it!

This was the gun Puss

used at the airport!

- That's right, sweetheart.

I detest violence.

- I don't.

- That's good because I'm

afraid there will be more.

- Here's the tracking device.

- Kim called from the nightclub.

Your two other agent

friends are on their way,

they too have a similar device.

No doubt they'll be able

to pinpoint the location

of our campsite.

Beautiful Samantha,

come with me to Argentina

and live the good life.

Or die here with the others.

- I'd rather die.

- Here they come!

They're about 300 yards out!

Let's rock and roll, man!

- Do your thing, Puss.

- All right!

- Mark, get down!

- Fu, Ron, take it from here.

- Follow me!

Boys, after you finish

with those guys,

rape these bitches and kill 'em.

I know I would.

Come on!

- Damn.

I'm sorry.

Stay put.

- Put it down or

I'll break her neck!

- Try doin' that to me.

- Cover me!

Antonio, that son of a bitch!

Let's go!

Let's get 'em!

- No, let's go to the water!

- Shit.

- Tough luck, boy scout!

- Saved the best for last.

Should've read your

fortune cookie.

- This is for Nicholas and Tom.

Yeah!

Is this luck or what?

- All I can say is, chips ahoy.

- You guys okay?

- Yeah, we're fine.

- You.

We've got a score to settle.

- Wait a minute,

Chris, she's one of us,

with the European Division.

- I'll get the

Vette back to you.

- We're going back to the

house and secure things.

- Yeah, well, we'll

be there in a minute.

- All right.

- Let's go.

- So how did you manage

to explode the car

in South Africa and

not kill Vandermeer?

- I contacted Vandermeer

the day before,

gave him a two-way radio,

we had to make it look good.

We made sure he made

contact with Hans.

He suspected that

bastard all along.

- Have a nice trip,

Mr. Vandermeer.

- Thank you, Hans.

- I informed Vandermeer by radio

that the explosion would

happen at the gate.

Vandermeer, this is Cobra.

Let me know when you're

approaching the gate.

- I hear ya loud

and clear, Cobra,

I'll be at the gate

in about 10 seconds.

- Once he got to the gate,

I gave him time to make

the switch with the dummy,

before I set off the charge.

We set it up so that Hans

would see the explosion

from the driver's side

and not see Vandermeer escaping.

We figured he'd

report to Black Widow

that Vandermeer had been killed.

Later, Vandermeer would

have Hans arrested.

Who knew that damn Hans

was told to video

tape the explosion.

And just our luck, he taped

it from the passenger side.

Well, obviously he sent

the tape to Black Widow

without seeing it

or he would've known

of Vandermeer's escape.

- Exactly.

- Great, yeah, I'll pass it on.

Thanks.

All right, Vandermeer

and his wife

have just landed at

the Dallas Airport.

Now he'll be able to

insert those chips

into the I/WAR computer

tomorrow at the optimum time

and activate the

Lacroix Satellite.

- What happened to Hans and

Mr. Wang's golf partner?

- Now they've been detained

by the police in South Africa

and Hong Kong.

- So that means The

Dallas Connection

will be made after all?

- Yeah.

But at what cost?

- Right.

Nicholas and Tom are dead.

- The agency lost

two damn good men.

We'll miss them.

- When I get this

all straightened out,

I'm coming back for you 'cause

I like your style, cowboy.

- Check this style, bitch!

- Beautiful.

Damn.

- Oh!

- I'm outta here.

- It's great the agency

gave us a week off.

- Yeah, we could

all use the R&R.

- Absolutely.

- That's for sure.

- Chris, what are you reading?

- Well according to this report,

Sun Hee Wang, the

scientist that was blown up

on the golf course in Hong Kong,

was just about to team

up with Antonio Morales.

Scorpion did the world a favor.

- At least she did

something right.

- While we're on

the subject, Mark,

exactly how far did you go

with that Scorpion bitch?

- I'm not sure, I

just remember that

one of us exposed their breasts.

- Really?

Which one of you?

- Hey Mark, can't

tell 'em everything,

gotta keep a little

mystery in the romance.

- Yeah.

You're right, I'll

drink to that.

- Cheers.
