Mission: Impossible (1966–1973): Season 5, Episode 18 - Blast - full transcript
Jim and Dana infiltrate a group of bank robbers, but the IMF's real target is the mysterious leader of the group who uses the thieves' booty to fund anti-American revolutionary activities. Natural conflicts in the robbers' personal agendas play right into Jim's hands.
WHAT'S THIS HAUL FOR, TOLAN?
GRENADES AND AUTOMATIC RIFLES.
YEAH, EVERYTHING
FOR THE REVOLUTION.
NOTHING FOR THE REVOLUTIONISTS,
HUH?
YOU'VE BEEN DOING ALL RIGHT,
SHEELS.
COME ON, FINLAY.
MOVE IT.
[ SIGHS ]
WILL YOU HURRY?
[ ALARM BLARING ]
FINLAY.
HEY.
HE'S DEAD.
YEAH.
LET'S GET THE MONEY.
COME ON!
LET'S GET THE MONEY.
[ CHILDREN LAUGHING ]
GOOD MORNING, MR. PHELPS.
THIS MAN, GREGORY TOLAN, IS
LEADER OF AN UNDERGROUND CELL
SPECIALIZING IN ROBBERIES
DESIGNED TO FINANCE
AN AMERICAN REVOLUTION.
TOLAN WORKS FOR A MAN
WE KNOW ONLY AS JONATHON BRACE,
WHO MASTERMINDS CELLS LIKE
TOLAN'S ALL OVER THE COUNTRY,
AND WHOSE EVENTUAL AIM
IS THE FORCIBLE OVERTHROW
OF THE UNITED STATES
GOVERNMENT.
YOUR MISSION,
SHOULD YOU CHOOSE TO ACCEPT IT,
IS TO APPREHEND
AND DESTROY JONATHON BRACE.
THIS TAPE WILL SELF-DESTRUCT
IN FIVE SECONDS.
GOOD LUCK, JIM.
[ SIZZLING ]
[ "MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE" THEME
PLAYS ]
OUR INFORMANTS
IN THE CARIBBEAN AREA
TELL US THAT BRACE'S NEXT JOB
FOR TOLAN IS A BIG ONE --
DRAKE'S ARMORED TRANSPORT
COMPANY.
AND TWO SPECIAL OPERATIVES
ARE BEING FLOWN IN TO HELP.
WILLIAM CABOT -- EX-CON.
HE'S THEIR DEMOLITIONS EXPERT.
MONICA ANDERSON.
NOW, MONICA'S
AN EX-EMPLOYEE OF DRAKE'S
WHO'S GOT HER OLD JOB BACK.
DANA AND I WILL BE TAKING
THE PLACES OF THESE TWO.
AS SOON AS WE FIND OUT
WHAT TOLAN'S PLAN IS,
WE'LL MAKE SURE
THAT IT'S SUCCESSFUL.
THEN WE'LL FOLLOW THE MONEY
TO JONATHON BRACE.
JIM, HOW DO WE PROTECT
INNOCENT PEOPLE
FROM BEING HURT?
TOLAN'S GUNS WILL BE
LOADED WITH REAL BULLETS.
THERE ARE TWO THINGS
IN OUR FAVOR, PARIS.
ONE, THE LIKELIHOOD THAT THE JOB
WILL BE PULLED ON A SUNDAY.
THERE'S A LARGE CASH DELIVERY
THAT DAY FOR DISTRIBUTION
TO STORES AND BUSINESSES
ON MONDAY MORNING.
SUNDAY MEANS LIGHT
TRAFFIC IN THAT AREA.
YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT.
OUR OTHER INSURANCE
IS DRAKE'S ITSELF.
WHILE WE HAVEN'T TOLD
THE POLICE
BECAUSE WE WANT AS FEW PEOPLE
AS POSSIBLE TO KNOW,
WE DO HAVE DRAKE'S
FULL COOPERATION.
WHY HAVEN'T THE POLICE
MOVED IN ON TOLAN?
BECAUSE EVERYTHING
WE HAVE ON HIM
IS THROUGH
OUR INTELLIGENCE.
THERE'S NO REAL CASE
AGAINST HIM, NOT YET.
TWO MEN TOLAN'S GOT WITH
HIM -- KLINGER AND SHEELS --
THEY'RE TRIGGER-HAPPY HOODS,
NOT REVOLUTIONARIES.
MONEY, DANA.
THEY'RE IN IT FOR THE MONEY.
WHERE DO WE
MAKE CONTACT, JIM?
TOLAN'S USUAL RENDEZVOUS
IS AT A WAREHOUSE
ON THE OUTSKIRTS OF TOWN.
NOW THAT'S WHERE
WE'LL WAIT.
ARE YOU CERTAIN TOLAN DOESN'T
KNOW CABOT AND MONICA?
YEAH, POSITIVE, WILLY.
THE ONLY MAN WHO KNOWS CABOT
AND MONICA IS THIS MAN,
JUAN DELGADO,
WHO'S FLYING THEM IN.
HE USUALLY HEADS RIGHT BACK
AFTER A DELIVERY,
AND YOU HAVE TO MAKE CERTAIN
THAT HE DOES,
BECAUSE HE'S THE ONE MAN WHO
CAN BLOW OUR WHOLE OPERATION.
IN THERE.
TAKE THE ELEVATOR TO
THE SECOND FLOOR AND WAIT.
TOLAN WILL CONTACT YOU.
HAVE A GOOD FLIGHT BACK.
DO YOUR JOBS WELL.
WHO ARE YOU?
GET YOUR HANDS UP
AND DO WHAT YOU'RE TOLD.
MAY I?
RIGHT.
WHAT ARE YOU -- COPS?
WE'RE AMERICAN CITIZENS.
YOU'VE GOT NO RIGHT!
SEEN FOLKS?
NAGAYINA.
THE COINS, PLEASE.
[ Sighing ]
GREG TOLAN.
BILL CABOT.
-SO YOU'RE MONICA.
-MM-HMM.
YOU'RE PRETTIER
THAN I EXPECTED.
SO WHAT?
HEY, I'M NOT COMPLAINING.
UH, HOW IS EVERYTHING
DOWN THERE?
THEY'VE HAD
THEIR REVOLUTION.
ALL BUSINESS, AREN'T YOU?
ALL BUSINESS.
GOOD.
WE'LL MEET TONIGHT.
BARNEY, HE'S ON HIS WAY.
I'LL ARRANGE FOR RADAR TRACKING
UNTIL HE CROSSES THE COAST.
THIS IS KLINGER.
LEE SHEELS.
BILL CABOT.
THIS IS MONICA.
PLEASE, SIT DOWN.
I HANDLE A FEW
NEIGHBORHOOD ACCOUNTS.
THIS PLACE IS GOOD ENOUGH
FOR COVER.
WE'RE ALL HERE.
WHAT'S THE JOB?
DRAKE'S ARMORED TRANSPORT.
YOU CAN'T LOOK AT THE PLACE
WITHOUT SETTING OFF AN ALARM.
I KNOW THAT, BUT WE'VE GOT
SOME THINGS GOING FOR US.
I USED TO WORK THERE.
I HAVE MY OLD JOB BACK.
I'VE BEEN PRECISELY TRAINED
TO HANDLE THE ALARM SYSTEM.
WHAT'S YOUR THING?
THE EXPLOSIVES.
OUR LAST GUY
BLEW HIMSELF UP.
I WON'T.
WHAT DO YOU DO?
YOU'RE LOOKING AT IT.
MY FRIEND HERE, AND I,
KEEP US OUT OF TROUBLE.
TOLAN, LET'S GET
SOMETHING STRAIGHT.
I UNDERSTAND BRACE
LIKES THINGS CLEAN.
SO DO I.
ANY MESSY KILLING,
I'M OUT NOW.
NO KILLINGS, RIGHT?
I'LL TRY TO REMEMBER.
HOW AND WHEN?
WE'LL FIND THAT OUT
RIGHT NOW.
CALLING LIGHTNING.
CALLING LIGHTNING.
THIS IS TOLAN.
COME IN, PLEASE.
The others are present?
YES, SIR.
Every Sunday at 1:40 p.m.,
an armored truck
delivers $1,300,000
to the Drake's counting house,
where it is prepared for
distribution on Monday morning
to stores and business
throughout the community
as working capital.
YES, SIR.
MR. BRACE, YOU MENTIONED
A DETAILED PLAN, THOUGH.
The plan has been placed
behind your cabinet
where the tax books are.
I LIKE THAT.
WHERE DID YOU MEET MR. BRACE?
AFTER OUR ABORTIVE REVOLT
IN HONDURAS,
HE PUT UP A LOT OF MONEY TO SAVE
MY NECK FROM A FIRING SQUAD.
HE KNOWS WHAT HE'S DOING.
HMM.
A MILLION THREE.
SHEELS AND I WANT A BIGGER CUT
THAN WE'VE BEEN GETTING.
YOU'LL GET WHAT MR. BRACE
DECIDES TO GIVE YOU HERE.
YOU'RE THE ONE
WITH THE BIG CAUSE.
THIS IS JUST
ANOTHER JOB TO US.
I USED TO DO THIS FOR DOUGH,
THE SAME AS YOU GUYS.
NOW I DO IT TO KNOCK
OVER THE SYSTEM.
BRACE GIVES THE ORDERS.
I FOLLOW THEM.
SO DO YOU, OR OUT.
YOU COME ON
PRETTY STRONG.
DON'T TRY ME.
LET'S GET TO WORK.
NOW!
THERE'S THE SIGNAL.
THE TRUCK ARRIVED.
[ BUZZER ]
[ BUZZER ]
THANK YOU.
IT'S UP TO MONICA NOW.
COULDN'T YOU USE COUNTERFEIT?
WE'D NEVER FOOL THESE PEOPLE
WITH IT.
WHAT ABOUT
THE ALARM SYSTEM?
EVERY ALARM INDICATED
IN THEIR PLAN --
THE OUTSIDE DOOR, THE ELEVATOR,
THE DOOR TO THIS ROOM --
HAVE ALL BEEN SHUT OFF.
HELPING IN A ROBBERY
OF DRAKE'S --
IT'S LIKE NEGATING
MY WHOLE LIFE.
THIS IS ONE ROBBERY THAT HAS
TO SUCCEED, MR. HENDRICKS,
OR WE DON'T GET
TO TOLAN'S BOSS.
HOW ARE YOU PLANNING
TO FOLLOW HIM?
WITH A SIGNAL DEVICE
ON HIS CAR.
MR. HENDRICKS,
WE'LL BE AS WORRIED
ABOUT ALL THAT MONEY AS YOU ARE.
ALL SET, WILLY?
[ BEEP ]
SHE'S DONE IT --
THE ALARMS ARE OFF.
[ ENGINE TURNS OVER ]
[ BUZZER ]
[ BUZZER ]
OPEN THE DOOR!
NOW!
MISS ANDERSON,
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
[ GUNSHOTS ]
[ ALARM RINGS ]
KLINGER!
LET'S GET THE MONEY.
[ ALARM CONTINUES ]
YOU MOVE
IN THE NEXT FIVE MINUTES
AND I'LL KILL YOU.
[ ALARM CONTINUES ]
[ BUZZER ]
[ CAR ENGINE TURNS OVER ]
COME ON!
COME ON! COME ON!
HURRY, HURRY, HURRY UP!
GET IN! GET IN! GET IN!
[ GUNSHOT ]
[ SIREN WAILS ]
[ GUNSHOTS ]
WHAT HAPPENED?
KLINGER TRIED TO KILL
HENDRICKS AND ME.
JIM DEFLECTED THE SHOT
AND IT BROKE A WINDOW.
[ GUNSHOT ]
[ GUNSHOTS ]
[ GUNSHOTS ]
[ BEEPING ]
YOU BETTER GET
AHOLD OF BRACE.
WHAT GOOD WILL BRACE
DO US NOW?
WE'RE ON OUR OWN.
GET OFF THE MAIN
STREET, SHEELS.
PULL IN SOMEWHERE!
[ TIRES SCREECH ]
[ SIREN CONTINUES ]
I'LL CHECK IT OUT.
I'LL GO WITH YOU.
[ BEEPING RAPIDLY ]
NOBODY UPSTAIRS.
NOBODY DOWN HERE.
THE NAME'S MILLER.
THE MORNING PAPER'S
BEEN READ.
COULD JUST BE OUT
FOR A WALK.
MM.
HEAR THOSE SIRENS?
WE DON'T HAVE A CHOICE.
WE STAY.
BRING THE MONEY INSIDE.
SHEELS, PUT THE CAR
IN THE GARAGE.
I WANT TO TALK TO YOU.
GET OUT.
YOU WAIT HERE.
WHAT HAPPENED
BACK THERE, LADY?
WHAT ARE YOU
TALKING ABOUT?
YOU SAID THE ALARMS
WERE FIXED!
WELL, WHO THOUGHT KLINGER
WOULD BLOW OUT THE WINDOW!
EXCUSE ME!
GET GOING!
MONICA...I'M SORRY.
NO ONE SAID
IT WOULD BE EASY.
YEAH.
WHERE WERE YOU TRAINED?
QUANTAVOS.
THEY DID A GOOD JOB.
[ LAUGHS ]
COME ON.
THEY'VE SETTLED DOWN.
Any signal to Brace?
NOTHING YET,
BUT I'LL STAY WITH IT.
WE WOULDN'T BE HERE
IF IT WASN'T FOR YOU.
WHY DON'T YOU DRY UP?
SOME TRAINING
THEY GAVE YOU.
WHAT WAS IT IN?
HOW TO BE CHICKEN HEART?
CUT IT, KLINGER!
WE HAVE ENOUGH PROBLEMS
WITHOUT FIGHTING
AMONG OURSELVES.
HOW LONG
DO WE STAY HERE?
I DON'T KNOW YET!
YOU BETTER GET ON THE RADIO
AND CALL BRACE.
MR. BRACE TOLD ME TO
CONTACT HIM AT 4:00, CABOT.
THINGS HAVE CHANGED.
WHAT IS THERE TO LOSE?
TELL MR. BRACE
WHAT THE CHICKEN DID.
BRACE WILL NEVER COME
IN HERE FOR THE MONEY.
WE'LL HAVE TO GIVE TOLAN
A WAY OUT.
MAYBE THE RADIO
WILL PAY OFF.
CALLING LIGHTNING,
THIS IS TOLAN.
COME IN, LIGHTNING.
YEAH, I'M GETTING A LITTLE
TIRED OF OUR MR. BRACE.
WE TAKE ALL THE RISK AND
HE GETS MOST OF THE HAUL.
SHEELS, HE'S TAKEN GOOD
CARE OF US SO FAR.
HE WON'T LET US DOWN NOW.
CALLING LIGHTNING.
THIS IS TOLAN.
COME IN, PLEASE.
COME IN.
COME IN, LIGHTNING.
CALLING LIGHTNING.
THIS IS TOLAN.
CALLING LIGHTNING.
THIS IS TOLAN HERE.
TOLAN HERE.
COME IN, LIGHTNING.
COME IN, PLEASE.
I TOLD YOU -- 4:00 P.M.
MR. BRACE
MEANS WHAT HE SAYS.
LISTEN, THE SQUARES
WHO OWN THIS JOINT
COULD COME BUSTING IN
ANY MINUTE!
ARE YOU SURE YOUR MR. BRACE
CAN GET US OUT?
DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT.
HE'LL COME THROUGH.
WE BETTER COME UP
WITH ANOTHER PLAN.
I THINK I'LL GO OUT AND FIND
ANOTHER SET OF WHEELS.
THAT SOUNDS GOOD.
WHILE YOU'RE AT IT,
TRY AND GET A LINE --
SEE WHERE THE COPS ARE.
RIGHT.
YOU'RE NOT GOING
ANYWHERE.
GET OUT OF MY WAY.
CHICKEN HEART GETS STOPPED
BY THE CIVILIANS,
CHICKEN HEART WILL TALK.
OOH!
GREG, MAKE HIM GIVE ME
BACK MY GUN!
CABOT, YOU BETTER
GIVE HIM BACK THE GUN.
YOUR ULCER KICKING UP?
MM-HMM.
IT'S NO GOOD ANYMORE!
RELAX, DAVE.
HERE.
ALL RIGHT.
BUT NEXT TIME,
YOU BE A LITTLE MORE CAREFUL
WHO YOU POINT IT AT, HUH?
EASY, MAN.
GO GET A DRINK.
GO AHEAD, LARRY.
DANA ALL RIGHT?
SO FAR.
THEY WON'T BE MOVING
FOR A WHILE.
THEY'RE USING 3320
KILOCYCLES, BARNEY,
BUT YOU DIDN'T
MISS ANYTHING.
BRACE WON'T BE
BROADCASTING UNTIL 4:00.
OKAY, WE'LL SWITCH
FREQUENCIES.
I'LL TAKE THE PORTABLE UNIT
AND GET AS CLOSE
TO THE HOUSE AS I CAN.
RIGHT.
WE'VE GOT TO GET TOLAN
OUT OF THAT HOUSE
SO THAT HE CAN LEAD US
TO BRACE.
THAT MEANS CLEARING
A PATH FOR HIM.
WILLY, SEE IF YOU
CAN FIND ME A HOT CAR.
THAT'LL GIVE TOLAN
A WAY OUT.
RIGHT.
WHERE ARE WE, PARIS?
MR. AND MRS. MILLER,
GEORGE AND GRACE.
RESPECTABLE,
UPPER-MIDDLE CLASS.
RIGHT NOW THEY'RE OUT
AT A DOG SHOW,
BUT THE NEIGHBORS EXPECT
THEM BACK ANY MINUTE.
[ SIREN WAILS ]
MR. GEORGE MILLER?
YEAH.
YOUR HOME HAS BEEN TAKEN
OVER BY FUGITIVES.
WOULD YOU
FOLLOW ME, PLEASE?
OF COURSE.
ALL SET, JIM.
IT'S BEEN BUGGED.
GOOD.
THANKS, WILLY.
IF TOLAN DOESN'T BUY THIS,
I'VE GIVEN PARIS
AN ALTERNATE PLAN.
DID YOU GET IT?
A COUPLE OF BLOCKS AWAY.
I THINK WE CAN MAKE IT.
LET'S GET OUT OF HERE.
BRACE MUST BE WAITING.
WAIT A MINUTE.
WHAT'S THE WAIT FOR?
LET'S GO.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
HOLD IT!
HUH?!
-LET'S THINK THIS THING OUT.
-WHY? WHAT'S THE MATTER?
WHAT DO YOU MEAN,
"WHAT'S THE MATTER"?
THE COPS HAVE PROBABLY GOT THIS
AREA COVERED LIKE A BLANKET.
SOMEBODY REPORTS
A STOLEN CAR,
AND WE'RE AS BAD OFF
AS IF WE WERE ON OUR OWN.
LOOK, I WENT OUT
AND GOT THE --
CABOT,
I'M CHANGING MY MIND!
OH, GREG, IT'S A WAY OUT.
I THINK WE SHOULD TAKE IT.
NO!
IT'S TOO DANGEROUS.
SUPPOSE SHEELS AND I
TAKE OUR CUTS AND GO.
NOBODY GOES!
SUPPOSE YOU GET
PICKED UP, KLINGER.
I WONDER HOW LONG
IT WOULD TAKE
BEFORE YOU LED THEM
RIGHT BACK HERE.
MM-HMM.
I SPENT FIVE YEARS
IN FOLSOM ONCE
BECAUSE I THOUGHT A STOLEN CAR
WOULD GET ME AROUND A ROADBLOCK,
BUT IT DIDN'T.
WHAT DO WE DO?
WE WAIT FOR MR. BRACE
TO COME TO US!
[ BEEPING ]
YEAH.
OKAY, WILLY.
WE'RE ALMOST READY.
IT DIDN'T WORK, GRACE.
WE'LL HAVE TO GO IN.
I THINK HE'S HUNGRY.
HE JUST WON ANOTHER RIBBON.
WELL, WE'LL, UH, WE'LL
FEED HIM FIRST THING.
OH. OH, THEN YOU ARE
GOING THROUGH WITH IT?
WE HAVE NO CHOICE.
DO YOU MIND?
OH, MM-HMM.
DO YOU, UH, DO YOU THINK
THESE PEOPLE ARE LIKELY
TO DAMAGE,
DAMAGE MY HOME?
THEY KILL, MR. MILLER.
THEY COMMIT ARSON.
THEY BLOW UP THINGS.
THEY'RE LIABLE TO DO
ALMOST ANYTHING,
BUT WE'LL TRY TO MAKE
SURE THEY DON'T.
OH, THANK YOU.
THANK YOU AND YOUR WIFE
FOR BEING SO COOPERATIVE.
MAY I HAVE YOUR
CAR KEYS PLEASE?
OH, YEAH.
-I'LL TAKE THEM.
-OH.
OH, YES.
JUST IN CASE.
WILL YOU TAKE THOSE?
OH, THANK YOU.
PARDON ME.
WELL, YOU'RE
A FINE-LOOKING DOG, GANGUS.
SHALL WE?
OH, BY ALL MEANS.
OH, UM, CAN HE WALK?
HUH? OH, YEAH.
OH, UH...
DON'T FORGET
TO BRUSH HIM.
WHO ARE YOU PEOPLE?!
WHO ARE YOU, LADY?
WE ARE THE MILLERS.
AND WE JUST HAPPEN
TO OWN THIS HOUSE.
YOU'RE NOT THE MILLERS.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN,
"WE'RE NOT THE MILLERS"?
HOLD IT.
THAT'S MY BROTHER
AND SISTER-IN-LAW,
WITH GANGUS'S FATHER.
WHY AM I ANSWERING
YOUR QUESTIONS?
YOU'RE HERE --
STOP TALKING.
GIVE ME THE WALLET!
GIVE ME YOUR WALLET.
COME ON!
ALL RIGHT.
JUST DON'T DO ANYTHING
AND YOU WON'T
GET INTO TROUBLE.
[ WHIMPERING ]
WHAT'S WRONG
WITH YOUR DOG?
HE'S ALL RIGHT.
HE'S JUST HUNGRY.
THERE'S SOME FOOD IN
THE KITCHEN BY THE COOLER.
I'LL DO IT. COME ON.
[ TELEPHONE RINGS ]
ANSWER IT.
NO MISTAKES.
ALL RIGHT, GEORGE?
HELLO.
YES, FRANK.
YES, IT'S ME.
JUST GOT A LITTLE
COLD, THAT'S ALL.
UH, YOU BETTER NOT
COME BY, FRANK.
LET ME GIVE YOU
A RAIN CHECK.
LAUREN AND I AREN'T
FEELING TOO WELL.
ALL RIGHT.
BYE.
I DON'T LIKE THIS.
TAKE THE PHONE OFF THE HOOK!
WHAT DO YOU PEOPLE
WANT WITH US?
WHAT ARE YOU
GOING TO DO?
THEY CAN
IDENTIFY US.
YEAH, TIE THEM UP.
MM-HMM.
[ SIGHS ]
TOLAN, I GOT AN IDEA.
WE CAN USE THEM.
-HOW?
-WE KEEP HER HOSTAGE.
WE SEND HIM TO BRACE
WITH THE MONEY.
IF HE DOUBLE-CROSSES US,
SHE GETS IT.
SOUNDS GOOD.
HE CAN TELL BRACE HE'S
GOT TO GET US OUT OF HERE.
I LIKE IT, AS LONG
AS MY CUT STAYS WITH ME.
NOBODY'S AFTER YOUR
SHARE OF THE MONEY!
ALL WE WANT
IS A WAY OUT OF HERE.
YOU KNOW, CABOT, BASICALLY,
IT'S A GOOD IDEA.
I BETTER PUT IT
TO BRACE FIRST.
MONICA.
HEY, I WANT
TO TALK TO YOU.
I LIKE THE WAY
YOU HANDLED YOURSELF.
THANK YOU.
NO, WHAT I MEAN
IS, UM, I'M COMMITTED.
YOU KNOW THAT?
IT TAKES ALL KINDS
TO START A REVOLUTION.
KLINGER AND SHEELS IN THERE,
CABOT -- ALL KINDS.
BUT WHAT I LIKE
ABOUT YOU IS...
I THINK I CAN TRUST YOU.
FROM HERE ON, I...
I WANT TO BE WORKING
MORE CLOSELY WITH YOU.
IS THAT ALL RIGHT?
MM-HMM.
GOOD.
I, UH, THINK YOU
BETTER GO INSIDE.
OKAY.
YOU KNOW HOW KLINGER
IS ABOUT HIS MONEY.
HE'S PARANOID.
WOULDN'T WANT HIM TO THINK
THERE WAS ANYTHING
BETWEEN US.
ALMOST 4:00.
[ HIGH-PITCHED STATIC ]
[ SIGHS ]
YEP.
CALLING LIGHTNING.
CALLING LIGHTNING.
TOLAN HERE.
COME IN, PLEASE.
Come in, Mr. Tolan.
This is Lightning.
MR. BRACE, WE'VE TAKEN
REFUGE AT 365 ALLENDALE,
THE HOME OF A GEORGE
AND GRACE MILLER.
[ HIGH-PITCHED STATIC ]
I know precisely
where you are.
SIR, WE HAVE THE MONEY.
WE HAVE THE MILLERS HOSTAGE.
WE HAVE THEIR CAR AND ALSO
ANOTHER CAR PROCURED BY CABOT.
THE IDEA HAS BEEN SUGGESTED
THAT WE HOLD THE WIFE
AND USE THE HUSBAND
AS GO-BETWEEN.
NOW HE WILL GO TO YOUR
LOCATION WITH THE MONEY, SIR.
Absolutely not.
Intermediaries
are dangerous gambles.
You, Mr. Tolan, and Monica
will be the first to evacuate.
[ HIGH-PITCHED STATIC ]
You will take the money.
You will take the
identification of the Millers
and use their car.
Proceed
to contingency point three.
Cabot, Klinger, and Sheels
will wait until 6 p.m.,
and they're to use the other car
to make their escape.
By then it
will be perfectly safe.
YES, SIR.
UH, MR. BRACE,
WHAT ABOUT THE HOSTAGES?
They are to be held
until the house is vacated,
and then they are
to be destroyed.
That is all.
ALL READY.
LET'S GO.
I WANT
MY PERCENTAGE NOW.
I FIGURED THAT.
[ ENGINE TURNS OVER ]
I'M GETTING TIRED
OF THOSE TWO IN THERE.
LET'S FINISH THEM OFF.
MM-HMM.
HOLD IT RIGHT THERE.
DON'T MOVE.
DON'T TURN AROUND.
BARNEY OUGHT TO HAVE
HELP OUT THERE BY NOW.
KLINGER,
HE'S A LOUSY COP!
GET THE MONEY, PLEASE.
I THINK WE'RE OKAY NOW.
THAT BOTHER YOU
BACK THERE?
WHAT?
ABOUT BRACE HAVING
THE HOSTAGES KILLED.
YOU DO WHAT YOU
HAVE TO DO.
I'D LIKE
TO MEET MR. BRACE.
THANK YOU, GRACE.
YOU GET TOLAN'S
4:00 CALL TO BRACE?
NO LUCK, JIM.
THERE'S A HIGH-POWER
TRANSFORMER IN THE AREA.
THAT MIGHT HAVE
DONE IT.
EITHER THAT
OR THEY'RE USING SOME KIND
OF SOPHISTICATED
JAMMING DEVICE.
[ BEEPING ]
WHAT ARE WE DOING HERE?
YOU'LL SEE.
THAT'S THE MILLER CAR.
THEY MUST BE INSIDE.
DO YOU THINK BRACE
IS IN THERE WITH THEM?
EITHER THAT
OR HE'S ON HIS WAY.
JIM.
IS THIS WHERE
BRACE IS HIDING?
YOU'RE REALLY CURIOUS
ABOUT BRACE, AREN'T YOU?
WELL, YEAH.
AREN'T YOU?
I MEAN, IT'S GETTING
PRETTY HAIRY --
THIS DISEMBODIED VOICE
DECIDING WHO LIVES
AND WHO DIES.
LOOK, THE MAN DECIDED
THAT WE LIVE.
THAT SHOULD BE
GOOD ENOUGH FOR YOU.
MONICA, WOULD YOU
LIKE TO GO BACK
TO THE CARIBBEAN
FOR A WHILE?
JUST YOU AND ME
TILL WE COOL OFF?
WELL, WOULDN'T THAT
BE UP TO BRACE?
YEAH.
HEY!
TOLAN AND MONICA UP HERE!
COME ON UP!
BRACE?
WILL YOU TAKE
IT EASY WITH BRACE?
Intermediaries
are dangerous gambles.
HE MUST HAVE TAPED IT WHILE
WE WERE IN THE OTHER ROOM.
Tolan and Monica will be
the first to evacuate.
A DUMMY -- HE WAS NEVER
BROADCASTING AT ALL.
THAT'S WHY I COULDN'T
GET A FIX ON THE RDF.
HE USED TAPES
AND A DISGUISED VOICE.
SO TOLAN IS BRACE.
WHAT AN OUT THAT IS.
ANYTHING UNPOPULAR
HE BLAMED ON BRACE,
WHO DOESN'T EVEN EXIST.
PARIS, YOU AND WILLY STAY
HERE AND COVER THE EXITS.
BARNEY, LET'S GO.
Relax.
GREG, HOW DID IT GO?
WELL ENOUGH, COMPADRE.
WE HAVE TO LEAVE RIGHT AWAY.
SHE'S GOING WITH US.
WHO IS SHE?
IT'S MONICA.
SURELY, YOU CAN'T FORGET.
SHE IS NOT MONICA.
WHAT ARE YOU SAYING,
DELGADO?
SHE IS NOT MONICA.
IF SHE TOLD YOU THAT,
SHE'S LYING!
-SHE'S A SPY!
-[ GUNSHOT ]
I BROUGHT MONICA
FROM THE CARIBBEAN.
I KNOW HER.
THIS GIRL'S AN IMPOSTER!
WHY?!
I LIKED YOU,
WHOEVER YOU ARE.
I REALLY LIKED YOU!
OH, HONEY,
BRACE HAD PLANS FOR YOU.
NOW YOU'LL NEVER KNOW
WHO HE IS.
[ GUN COCKS ]
HOLD IT!
GET YOUR HANDS UP.
[ SIGHS ]
I WASN'T GONNA KILL YOU.
I REALLY WASN'T
GOING TO KILL YOU.
WHO WAS GONNA DO IT?
BRACE?
[ "MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE" THEME
PLAYS ]
GRENADES AND AUTOMATIC RIFLES.
YEAH, EVERYTHING
FOR THE REVOLUTION.
NOTHING FOR THE REVOLUTIONISTS,
HUH?
YOU'VE BEEN DOING ALL RIGHT,
SHEELS.
COME ON, FINLAY.
MOVE IT.
[ SIGHS ]
WILL YOU HURRY?
[ ALARM BLARING ]
FINLAY.
HEY.
HE'S DEAD.
YEAH.
LET'S GET THE MONEY.
COME ON!
LET'S GET THE MONEY.
[ CHILDREN LAUGHING ]
GOOD MORNING, MR. PHELPS.
THIS MAN, GREGORY TOLAN, IS
LEADER OF AN UNDERGROUND CELL
SPECIALIZING IN ROBBERIES
DESIGNED TO FINANCE
AN AMERICAN REVOLUTION.
TOLAN WORKS FOR A MAN
WE KNOW ONLY AS JONATHON BRACE,
WHO MASTERMINDS CELLS LIKE
TOLAN'S ALL OVER THE COUNTRY,
AND WHOSE EVENTUAL AIM
IS THE FORCIBLE OVERTHROW
OF THE UNITED STATES
GOVERNMENT.
YOUR MISSION,
SHOULD YOU CHOOSE TO ACCEPT IT,
IS TO APPREHEND
AND DESTROY JONATHON BRACE.
THIS TAPE WILL SELF-DESTRUCT
IN FIVE SECONDS.
GOOD LUCK, JIM.
[ SIZZLING ]
[ "MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE" THEME
PLAYS ]
OUR INFORMANTS
IN THE CARIBBEAN AREA
TELL US THAT BRACE'S NEXT JOB
FOR TOLAN IS A BIG ONE --
DRAKE'S ARMORED TRANSPORT
COMPANY.
AND TWO SPECIAL OPERATIVES
ARE BEING FLOWN IN TO HELP.
WILLIAM CABOT -- EX-CON.
HE'S THEIR DEMOLITIONS EXPERT.
MONICA ANDERSON.
NOW, MONICA'S
AN EX-EMPLOYEE OF DRAKE'S
WHO'S GOT HER OLD JOB BACK.
DANA AND I WILL BE TAKING
THE PLACES OF THESE TWO.
AS SOON AS WE FIND OUT
WHAT TOLAN'S PLAN IS,
WE'LL MAKE SURE
THAT IT'S SUCCESSFUL.
THEN WE'LL FOLLOW THE MONEY
TO JONATHON BRACE.
JIM, HOW DO WE PROTECT
INNOCENT PEOPLE
FROM BEING HURT?
TOLAN'S GUNS WILL BE
LOADED WITH REAL BULLETS.
THERE ARE TWO THINGS
IN OUR FAVOR, PARIS.
ONE, THE LIKELIHOOD THAT THE JOB
WILL BE PULLED ON A SUNDAY.
THERE'S A LARGE CASH DELIVERY
THAT DAY FOR DISTRIBUTION
TO STORES AND BUSINESSES
ON MONDAY MORNING.
SUNDAY MEANS LIGHT
TRAFFIC IN THAT AREA.
YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT.
OUR OTHER INSURANCE
IS DRAKE'S ITSELF.
WHILE WE HAVEN'T TOLD
THE POLICE
BECAUSE WE WANT AS FEW PEOPLE
AS POSSIBLE TO KNOW,
WE DO HAVE DRAKE'S
FULL COOPERATION.
WHY HAVEN'T THE POLICE
MOVED IN ON TOLAN?
BECAUSE EVERYTHING
WE HAVE ON HIM
IS THROUGH
OUR INTELLIGENCE.
THERE'S NO REAL CASE
AGAINST HIM, NOT YET.
TWO MEN TOLAN'S GOT WITH
HIM -- KLINGER AND SHEELS --
THEY'RE TRIGGER-HAPPY HOODS,
NOT REVOLUTIONARIES.
MONEY, DANA.
THEY'RE IN IT FOR THE MONEY.
WHERE DO WE
MAKE CONTACT, JIM?
TOLAN'S USUAL RENDEZVOUS
IS AT A WAREHOUSE
ON THE OUTSKIRTS OF TOWN.
NOW THAT'S WHERE
WE'LL WAIT.
ARE YOU CERTAIN TOLAN DOESN'T
KNOW CABOT AND MONICA?
YEAH, POSITIVE, WILLY.
THE ONLY MAN WHO KNOWS CABOT
AND MONICA IS THIS MAN,
JUAN DELGADO,
WHO'S FLYING THEM IN.
HE USUALLY HEADS RIGHT BACK
AFTER A DELIVERY,
AND YOU HAVE TO MAKE CERTAIN
THAT HE DOES,
BECAUSE HE'S THE ONE MAN WHO
CAN BLOW OUR WHOLE OPERATION.
IN THERE.
TAKE THE ELEVATOR TO
THE SECOND FLOOR AND WAIT.
TOLAN WILL CONTACT YOU.
HAVE A GOOD FLIGHT BACK.
DO YOUR JOBS WELL.
WHO ARE YOU?
GET YOUR HANDS UP
AND DO WHAT YOU'RE TOLD.
MAY I?
RIGHT.
WHAT ARE YOU -- COPS?
WE'RE AMERICAN CITIZENS.
YOU'VE GOT NO RIGHT!
SEEN FOLKS?
NAGAYINA.
THE COINS, PLEASE.
[ Sighing ]
GREG TOLAN.
BILL CABOT.
-SO YOU'RE MONICA.
-MM-HMM.
YOU'RE PRETTIER
THAN I EXPECTED.
SO WHAT?
HEY, I'M NOT COMPLAINING.
UH, HOW IS EVERYTHING
DOWN THERE?
THEY'VE HAD
THEIR REVOLUTION.
ALL BUSINESS, AREN'T YOU?
ALL BUSINESS.
GOOD.
WE'LL MEET TONIGHT.
BARNEY, HE'S ON HIS WAY.
I'LL ARRANGE FOR RADAR TRACKING
UNTIL HE CROSSES THE COAST.
THIS IS KLINGER.
LEE SHEELS.
BILL CABOT.
THIS IS MONICA.
PLEASE, SIT DOWN.
I HANDLE A FEW
NEIGHBORHOOD ACCOUNTS.
THIS PLACE IS GOOD ENOUGH
FOR COVER.
WE'RE ALL HERE.
WHAT'S THE JOB?
DRAKE'S ARMORED TRANSPORT.
YOU CAN'T LOOK AT THE PLACE
WITHOUT SETTING OFF AN ALARM.
I KNOW THAT, BUT WE'VE GOT
SOME THINGS GOING FOR US.
I USED TO WORK THERE.
I HAVE MY OLD JOB BACK.
I'VE BEEN PRECISELY TRAINED
TO HANDLE THE ALARM SYSTEM.
WHAT'S YOUR THING?
THE EXPLOSIVES.
OUR LAST GUY
BLEW HIMSELF UP.
I WON'T.
WHAT DO YOU DO?
YOU'RE LOOKING AT IT.
MY FRIEND HERE, AND I,
KEEP US OUT OF TROUBLE.
TOLAN, LET'S GET
SOMETHING STRAIGHT.
I UNDERSTAND BRACE
LIKES THINGS CLEAN.
SO DO I.
ANY MESSY KILLING,
I'M OUT NOW.
NO KILLINGS, RIGHT?
I'LL TRY TO REMEMBER.
HOW AND WHEN?
WE'LL FIND THAT OUT
RIGHT NOW.
CALLING LIGHTNING.
CALLING LIGHTNING.
THIS IS TOLAN.
COME IN, PLEASE.
The others are present?
YES, SIR.
Every Sunday at 1:40 p.m.,
an armored truck
delivers $1,300,000
to the Drake's counting house,
where it is prepared for
distribution on Monday morning
to stores and business
throughout the community
as working capital.
YES, SIR.
MR. BRACE, YOU MENTIONED
A DETAILED PLAN, THOUGH.
The plan has been placed
behind your cabinet
where the tax books are.
I LIKE THAT.
WHERE DID YOU MEET MR. BRACE?
AFTER OUR ABORTIVE REVOLT
IN HONDURAS,
HE PUT UP A LOT OF MONEY TO SAVE
MY NECK FROM A FIRING SQUAD.
HE KNOWS WHAT HE'S DOING.
HMM.
A MILLION THREE.
SHEELS AND I WANT A BIGGER CUT
THAN WE'VE BEEN GETTING.
YOU'LL GET WHAT MR. BRACE
DECIDES TO GIVE YOU HERE.
YOU'RE THE ONE
WITH THE BIG CAUSE.
THIS IS JUST
ANOTHER JOB TO US.
I USED TO DO THIS FOR DOUGH,
THE SAME AS YOU GUYS.
NOW I DO IT TO KNOCK
OVER THE SYSTEM.
BRACE GIVES THE ORDERS.
I FOLLOW THEM.
SO DO YOU, OR OUT.
YOU COME ON
PRETTY STRONG.
DON'T TRY ME.
LET'S GET TO WORK.
NOW!
THERE'S THE SIGNAL.
THE TRUCK ARRIVED.
[ BUZZER ]
[ BUZZER ]
THANK YOU.
IT'S UP TO MONICA NOW.
COULDN'T YOU USE COUNTERFEIT?
WE'D NEVER FOOL THESE PEOPLE
WITH IT.
WHAT ABOUT
THE ALARM SYSTEM?
EVERY ALARM INDICATED
IN THEIR PLAN --
THE OUTSIDE DOOR, THE ELEVATOR,
THE DOOR TO THIS ROOM --
HAVE ALL BEEN SHUT OFF.
HELPING IN A ROBBERY
OF DRAKE'S --
IT'S LIKE NEGATING
MY WHOLE LIFE.
THIS IS ONE ROBBERY THAT HAS
TO SUCCEED, MR. HENDRICKS,
OR WE DON'T GET
TO TOLAN'S BOSS.
HOW ARE YOU PLANNING
TO FOLLOW HIM?
WITH A SIGNAL DEVICE
ON HIS CAR.
MR. HENDRICKS,
WE'LL BE AS WORRIED
ABOUT ALL THAT MONEY AS YOU ARE.
ALL SET, WILLY?
[ BEEP ]
SHE'S DONE IT --
THE ALARMS ARE OFF.
[ ENGINE TURNS OVER ]
[ BUZZER ]
[ BUZZER ]
OPEN THE DOOR!
NOW!
MISS ANDERSON,
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
[ GUNSHOTS ]
[ ALARM RINGS ]
KLINGER!
LET'S GET THE MONEY.
[ ALARM CONTINUES ]
YOU MOVE
IN THE NEXT FIVE MINUTES
AND I'LL KILL YOU.
[ ALARM CONTINUES ]
[ BUZZER ]
[ CAR ENGINE TURNS OVER ]
COME ON!
COME ON! COME ON!
HURRY, HURRY, HURRY UP!
GET IN! GET IN! GET IN!
[ GUNSHOT ]
[ SIREN WAILS ]
[ GUNSHOTS ]
WHAT HAPPENED?
KLINGER TRIED TO KILL
HENDRICKS AND ME.
JIM DEFLECTED THE SHOT
AND IT BROKE A WINDOW.
[ GUNSHOT ]
[ GUNSHOTS ]
[ GUNSHOTS ]
[ BEEPING ]
YOU BETTER GET
AHOLD OF BRACE.
WHAT GOOD WILL BRACE
DO US NOW?
WE'RE ON OUR OWN.
GET OFF THE MAIN
STREET, SHEELS.
PULL IN SOMEWHERE!
[ TIRES SCREECH ]
[ SIREN CONTINUES ]
I'LL CHECK IT OUT.
I'LL GO WITH YOU.
[ BEEPING RAPIDLY ]
NOBODY UPSTAIRS.
NOBODY DOWN HERE.
THE NAME'S MILLER.
THE MORNING PAPER'S
BEEN READ.
COULD JUST BE OUT
FOR A WALK.
MM.
HEAR THOSE SIRENS?
WE DON'T HAVE A CHOICE.
WE STAY.
BRING THE MONEY INSIDE.
SHEELS, PUT THE CAR
IN THE GARAGE.
I WANT TO TALK TO YOU.
GET OUT.
YOU WAIT HERE.
WHAT HAPPENED
BACK THERE, LADY?
WHAT ARE YOU
TALKING ABOUT?
YOU SAID THE ALARMS
WERE FIXED!
WELL, WHO THOUGHT KLINGER
WOULD BLOW OUT THE WINDOW!
EXCUSE ME!
GET GOING!
MONICA...I'M SORRY.
NO ONE SAID
IT WOULD BE EASY.
YEAH.
WHERE WERE YOU TRAINED?
QUANTAVOS.
THEY DID A GOOD JOB.
[ LAUGHS ]
COME ON.
THEY'VE SETTLED DOWN.
Any signal to Brace?
NOTHING YET,
BUT I'LL STAY WITH IT.
WE WOULDN'T BE HERE
IF IT WASN'T FOR YOU.
WHY DON'T YOU DRY UP?
SOME TRAINING
THEY GAVE YOU.
WHAT WAS IT IN?
HOW TO BE CHICKEN HEART?
CUT IT, KLINGER!
WE HAVE ENOUGH PROBLEMS
WITHOUT FIGHTING
AMONG OURSELVES.
HOW LONG
DO WE STAY HERE?
I DON'T KNOW YET!
YOU BETTER GET ON THE RADIO
AND CALL BRACE.
MR. BRACE TOLD ME TO
CONTACT HIM AT 4:00, CABOT.
THINGS HAVE CHANGED.
WHAT IS THERE TO LOSE?
TELL MR. BRACE
WHAT THE CHICKEN DID.
BRACE WILL NEVER COME
IN HERE FOR THE MONEY.
WE'LL HAVE TO GIVE TOLAN
A WAY OUT.
MAYBE THE RADIO
WILL PAY OFF.
CALLING LIGHTNING,
THIS IS TOLAN.
COME IN, LIGHTNING.
YEAH, I'M GETTING A LITTLE
TIRED OF OUR MR. BRACE.
WE TAKE ALL THE RISK AND
HE GETS MOST OF THE HAUL.
SHEELS, HE'S TAKEN GOOD
CARE OF US SO FAR.
HE WON'T LET US DOWN NOW.
CALLING LIGHTNING.
THIS IS TOLAN.
COME IN, PLEASE.
COME IN.
COME IN, LIGHTNING.
CALLING LIGHTNING.
THIS IS TOLAN.
CALLING LIGHTNING.
THIS IS TOLAN HERE.
TOLAN HERE.
COME IN, LIGHTNING.
COME IN, PLEASE.
I TOLD YOU -- 4:00 P.M.
MR. BRACE
MEANS WHAT HE SAYS.
LISTEN, THE SQUARES
WHO OWN THIS JOINT
COULD COME BUSTING IN
ANY MINUTE!
ARE YOU SURE YOUR MR. BRACE
CAN GET US OUT?
DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT.
HE'LL COME THROUGH.
WE BETTER COME UP
WITH ANOTHER PLAN.
I THINK I'LL GO OUT AND FIND
ANOTHER SET OF WHEELS.
THAT SOUNDS GOOD.
WHILE YOU'RE AT IT,
TRY AND GET A LINE --
SEE WHERE THE COPS ARE.
RIGHT.
YOU'RE NOT GOING
ANYWHERE.
GET OUT OF MY WAY.
CHICKEN HEART GETS STOPPED
BY THE CIVILIANS,
CHICKEN HEART WILL TALK.
OOH!
GREG, MAKE HIM GIVE ME
BACK MY GUN!
CABOT, YOU BETTER
GIVE HIM BACK THE GUN.
YOUR ULCER KICKING UP?
MM-HMM.
IT'S NO GOOD ANYMORE!
RELAX, DAVE.
HERE.
ALL RIGHT.
BUT NEXT TIME,
YOU BE A LITTLE MORE CAREFUL
WHO YOU POINT IT AT, HUH?
EASY, MAN.
GO GET A DRINK.
GO AHEAD, LARRY.
DANA ALL RIGHT?
SO FAR.
THEY WON'T BE MOVING
FOR A WHILE.
THEY'RE USING 3320
KILOCYCLES, BARNEY,
BUT YOU DIDN'T
MISS ANYTHING.
BRACE WON'T BE
BROADCASTING UNTIL 4:00.
OKAY, WE'LL SWITCH
FREQUENCIES.
I'LL TAKE THE PORTABLE UNIT
AND GET AS CLOSE
TO THE HOUSE AS I CAN.
RIGHT.
WE'VE GOT TO GET TOLAN
OUT OF THAT HOUSE
SO THAT HE CAN LEAD US
TO BRACE.
THAT MEANS CLEARING
A PATH FOR HIM.
WILLY, SEE IF YOU
CAN FIND ME A HOT CAR.
THAT'LL GIVE TOLAN
A WAY OUT.
RIGHT.
WHERE ARE WE, PARIS?
MR. AND MRS. MILLER,
GEORGE AND GRACE.
RESPECTABLE,
UPPER-MIDDLE CLASS.
RIGHT NOW THEY'RE OUT
AT A DOG SHOW,
BUT THE NEIGHBORS EXPECT
THEM BACK ANY MINUTE.
[ SIREN WAILS ]
MR. GEORGE MILLER?
YEAH.
YOUR HOME HAS BEEN TAKEN
OVER BY FUGITIVES.
WOULD YOU
FOLLOW ME, PLEASE?
OF COURSE.
ALL SET, JIM.
IT'S BEEN BUGGED.
GOOD.
THANKS, WILLY.
IF TOLAN DOESN'T BUY THIS,
I'VE GIVEN PARIS
AN ALTERNATE PLAN.
DID YOU GET IT?
A COUPLE OF BLOCKS AWAY.
I THINK WE CAN MAKE IT.
LET'S GET OUT OF HERE.
BRACE MUST BE WAITING.
WAIT A MINUTE.
WHAT'S THE WAIT FOR?
LET'S GO.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
HOLD IT!
HUH?!
-LET'S THINK THIS THING OUT.
-WHY? WHAT'S THE MATTER?
WHAT DO YOU MEAN,
"WHAT'S THE MATTER"?
THE COPS HAVE PROBABLY GOT THIS
AREA COVERED LIKE A BLANKET.
SOMEBODY REPORTS
A STOLEN CAR,
AND WE'RE AS BAD OFF
AS IF WE WERE ON OUR OWN.
LOOK, I WENT OUT
AND GOT THE --
CABOT,
I'M CHANGING MY MIND!
OH, GREG, IT'S A WAY OUT.
I THINK WE SHOULD TAKE IT.
NO!
IT'S TOO DANGEROUS.
SUPPOSE SHEELS AND I
TAKE OUR CUTS AND GO.
NOBODY GOES!
SUPPOSE YOU GET
PICKED UP, KLINGER.
I WONDER HOW LONG
IT WOULD TAKE
BEFORE YOU LED THEM
RIGHT BACK HERE.
MM-HMM.
I SPENT FIVE YEARS
IN FOLSOM ONCE
BECAUSE I THOUGHT A STOLEN CAR
WOULD GET ME AROUND A ROADBLOCK,
BUT IT DIDN'T.
WHAT DO WE DO?
WE WAIT FOR MR. BRACE
TO COME TO US!
[ BEEPING ]
YEAH.
OKAY, WILLY.
WE'RE ALMOST READY.
IT DIDN'T WORK, GRACE.
WE'LL HAVE TO GO IN.
I THINK HE'S HUNGRY.
HE JUST WON ANOTHER RIBBON.
WELL, WE'LL, UH, WE'LL
FEED HIM FIRST THING.
OH. OH, THEN YOU ARE
GOING THROUGH WITH IT?
WE HAVE NO CHOICE.
DO YOU MIND?
OH, MM-HMM.
DO YOU, UH, DO YOU THINK
THESE PEOPLE ARE LIKELY
TO DAMAGE,
DAMAGE MY HOME?
THEY KILL, MR. MILLER.
THEY COMMIT ARSON.
THEY BLOW UP THINGS.
THEY'RE LIABLE TO DO
ALMOST ANYTHING,
BUT WE'LL TRY TO MAKE
SURE THEY DON'T.
OH, THANK YOU.
THANK YOU AND YOUR WIFE
FOR BEING SO COOPERATIVE.
MAY I HAVE YOUR
CAR KEYS PLEASE?
OH, YEAH.
-I'LL TAKE THEM.
-OH.
OH, YES.
JUST IN CASE.
WILL YOU TAKE THOSE?
OH, THANK YOU.
PARDON ME.
WELL, YOU'RE
A FINE-LOOKING DOG, GANGUS.
SHALL WE?
OH, BY ALL MEANS.
OH, UM, CAN HE WALK?
HUH? OH, YEAH.
OH, UH...
DON'T FORGET
TO BRUSH HIM.
WHO ARE YOU PEOPLE?!
WHO ARE YOU, LADY?
WE ARE THE MILLERS.
AND WE JUST HAPPEN
TO OWN THIS HOUSE.
YOU'RE NOT THE MILLERS.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN,
"WE'RE NOT THE MILLERS"?
HOLD IT.
THAT'S MY BROTHER
AND SISTER-IN-LAW,
WITH GANGUS'S FATHER.
WHY AM I ANSWERING
YOUR QUESTIONS?
YOU'RE HERE --
STOP TALKING.
GIVE ME THE WALLET!
GIVE ME YOUR WALLET.
COME ON!
ALL RIGHT.
JUST DON'T DO ANYTHING
AND YOU WON'T
GET INTO TROUBLE.
[ WHIMPERING ]
WHAT'S WRONG
WITH YOUR DOG?
HE'S ALL RIGHT.
HE'S JUST HUNGRY.
THERE'S SOME FOOD IN
THE KITCHEN BY THE COOLER.
I'LL DO IT. COME ON.
[ TELEPHONE RINGS ]
ANSWER IT.
NO MISTAKES.
ALL RIGHT, GEORGE?
HELLO.
YES, FRANK.
YES, IT'S ME.
JUST GOT A LITTLE
COLD, THAT'S ALL.
UH, YOU BETTER NOT
COME BY, FRANK.
LET ME GIVE YOU
A RAIN CHECK.
LAUREN AND I AREN'T
FEELING TOO WELL.
ALL RIGHT.
BYE.
I DON'T LIKE THIS.
TAKE THE PHONE OFF THE HOOK!
WHAT DO YOU PEOPLE
WANT WITH US?
WHAT ARE YOU
GOING TO DO?
THEY CAN
IDENTIFY US.
YEAH, TIE THEM UP.
MM-HMM.
[ SIGHS ]
TOLAN, I GOT AN IDEA.
WE CAN USE THEM.
-HOW?
-WE KEEP HER HOSTAGE.
WE SEND HIM TO BRACE
WITH THE MONEY.
IF HE DOUBLE-CROSSES US,
SHE GETS IT.
SOUNDS GOOD.
HE CAN TELL BRACE HE'S
GOT TO GET US OUT OF HERE.
I LIKE IT, AS LONG
AS MY CUT STAYS WITH ME.
NOBODY'S AFTER YOUR
SHARE OF THE MONEY!
ALL WE WANT
IS A WAY OUT OF HERE.
YOU KNOW, CABOT, BASICALLY,
IT'S A GOOD IDEA.
I BETTER PUT IT
TO BRACE FIRST.
MONICA.
HEY, I WANT
TO TALK TO YOU.
I LIKE THE WAY
YOU HANDLED YOURSELF.
THANK YOU.
NO, WHAT I MEAN
IS, UM, I'M COMMITTED.
YOU KNOW THAT?
IT TAKES ALL KINDS
TO START A REVOLUTION.
KLINGER AND SHEELS IN THERE,
CABOT -- ALL KINDS.
BUT WHAT I LIKE
ABOUT YOU IS...
I THINK I CAN TRUST YOU.
FROM HERE ON, I...
I WANT TO BE WORKING
MORE CLOSELY WITH YOU.
IS THAT ALL RIGHT?
MM-HMM.
GOOD.
I, UH, THINK YOU
BETTER GO INSIDE.
OKAY.
YOU KNOW HOW KLINGER
IS ABOUT HIS MONEY.
HE'S PARANOID.
WOULDN'T WANT HIM TO THINK
THERE WAS ANYTHING
BETWEEN US.
ALMOST 4:00.
[ HIGH-PITCHED STATIC ]
[ SIGHS ]
YEP.
CALLING LIGHTNING.
CALLING LIGHTNING.
TOLAN HERE.
COME IN, PLEASE.
Come in, Mr. Tolan.
This is Lightning.
MR. BRACE, WE'VE TAKEN
REFUGE AT 365 ALLENDALE,
THE HOME OF A GEORGE
AND GRACE MILLER.
[ HIGH-PITCHED STATIC ]
I know precisely
where you are.
SIR, WE HAVE THE MONEY.
WE HAVE THE MILLERS HOSTAGE.
WE HAVE THEIR CAR AND ALSO
ANOTHER CAR PROCURED BY CABOT.
THE IDEA HAS BEEN SUGGESTED
THAT WE HOLD THE WIFE
AND USE THE HUSBAND
AS GO-BETWEEN.
NOW HE WILL GO TO YOUR
LOCATION WITH THE MONEY, SIR.
Absolutely not.
Intermediaries
are dangerous gambles.
You, Mr. Tolan, and Monica
will be the first to evacuate.
[ HIGH-PITCHED STATIC ]
You will take the money.
You will take the
identification of the Millers
and use their car.
Proceed
to contingency point three.
Cabot, Klinger, and Sheels
will wait until 6 p.m.,
and they're to use the other car
to make their escape.
By then it
will be perfectly safe.
YES, SIR.
UH, MR. BRACE,
WHAT ABOUT THE HOSTAGES?
They are to be held
until the house is vacated,
and then they are
to be destroyed.
That is all.
ALL READY.
LET'S GO.
I WANT
MY PERCENTAGE NOW.
I FIGURED THAT.
[ ENGINE TURNS OVER ]
I'M GETTING TIRED
OF THOSE TWO IN THERE.
LET'S FINISH THEM OFF.
MM-HMM.
HOLD IT RIGHT THERE.
DON'T MOVE.
DON'T TURN AROUND.
BARNEY OUGHT TO HAVE
HELP OUT THERE BY NOW.
KLINGER,
HE'S A LOUSY COP!
GET THE MONEY, PLEASE.
I THINK WE'RE OKAY NOW.
THAT BOTHER YOU
BACK THERE?
WHAT?
ABOUT BRACE HAVING
THE HOSTAGES KILLED.
YOU DO WHAT YOU
HAVE TO DO.
I'D LIKE
TO MEET MR. BRACE.
THANK YOU, GRACE.
YOU GET TOLAN'S
4:00 CALL TO BRACE?
NO LUCK, JIM.
THERE'S A HIGH-POWER
TRANSFORMER IN THE AREA.
THAT MIGHT HAVE
DONE IT.
EITHER THAT
OR THEY'RE USING SOME KIND
OF SOPHISTICATED
JAMMING DEVICE.
[ BEEPING ]
WHAT ARE WE DOING HERE?
YOU'LL SEE.
THAT'S THE MILLER CAR.
THEY MUST BE INSIDE.
DO YOU THINK BRACE
IS IN THERE WITH THEM?
EITHER THAT
OR HE'S ON HIS WAY.
JIM.
IS THIS WHERE
BRACE IS HIDING?
YOU'RE REALLY CURIOUS
ABOUT BRACE, AREN'T YOU?
WELL, YEAH.
AREN'T YOU?
I MEAN, IT'S GETTING
PRETTY HAIRY --
THIS DISEMBODIED VOICE
DECIDING WHO LIVES
AND WHO DIES.
LOOK, THE MAN DECIDED
THAT WE LIVE.
THAT SHOULD BE
GOOD ENOUGH FOR YOU.
MONICA, WOULD YOU
LIKE TO GO BACK
TO THE CARIBBEAN
FOR A WHILE?
JUST YOU AND ME
TILL WE COOL OFF?
WELL, WOULDN'T THAT
BE UP TO BRACE?
YEAH.
HEY!
TOLAN AND MONICA UP HERE!
COME ON UP!
BRACE?
WILL YOU TAKE
IT EASY WITH BRACE?
Intermediaries
are dangerous gambles.
HE MUST HAVE TAPED IT WHILE
WE WERE IN THE OTHER ROOM.
Tolan and Monica will be
the first to evacuate.
A DUMMY -- HE WAS NEVER
BROADCASTING AT ALL.
THAT'S WHY I COULDN'T
GET A FIX ON THE RDF.
HE USED TAPES
AND A DISGUISED VOICE.
SO TOLAN IS BRACE.
WHAT AN OUT THAT IS.
ANYTHING UNPOPULAR
HE BLAMED ON BRACE,
WHO DOESN'T EVEN EXIST.
PARIS, YOU AND WILLY STAY
HERE AND COVER THE EXITS.
BARNEY, LET'S GO.
Relax.
GREG, HOW DID IT GO?
WELL ENOUGH, COMPADRE.
WE HAVE TO LEAVE RIGHT AWAY.
SHE'S GOING WITH US.
WHO IS SHE?
IT'S MONICA.
SURELY, YOU CAN'T FORGET.
SHE IS NOT MONICA.
WHAT ARE YOU SAYING,
DELGADO?
SHE IS NOT MONICA.
IF SHE TOLD YOU THAT,
SHE'S LYING!
-SHE'S A SPY!
-[ GUNSHOT ]
I BROUGHT MONICA
FROM THE CARIBBEAN.
I KNOW HER.
THIS GIRL'S AN IMPOSTER!
WHY?!
I LIKED YOU,
WHOEVER YOU ARE.
I REALLY LIKED YOU!
OH, HONEY,
BRACE HAD PLANS FOR YOU.
NOW YOU'LL NEVER KNOW
WHO HE IS.
[ GUN COCKS ]
HOLD IT!
GET YOUR HANDS UP.
[ SIGHS ]
I WASN'T GONNA KILL YOU.
I REALLY WASN'T
GOING TO KILL YOU.
WHO WAS GONNA DO IT?
BRACE?
