NightMan (1997–1999): Season 1, Episode 1 - World Premiere - full transcript
Mr. McDermott?
Yeah.
Hey. What do you...
What do you
think you're...
Special Agent Barton,
Justice Department.
Please step into
the car, sir.
You're not
Secretary Laughton.
I'm here to determine
whether you're a crackpot
or a patriot.
Let's vacate the area,
gentlemen.
You've made accusations
against some
very powerful people.
Our evidence is ironclad.
MAN: What about
the prototype weapons
you and the others
have intercepted?
Where are they now?
MCDERMOTT: They're where
they won't fall into the hands
of our country's enemies.
Pull over, Agent.
Why, why are we
stopping here?
You want this
conspiracy crushed,
the first thing that's needed
is your signature
on a transcript
of what you've told us.
Is everything ready?
AGENT: Printing out
the last page now, sir.
This is an account
of our meeting.
I'd like you to sign it
on the last page, please.
I can hardly see where.
That's okay.
How soon can I meet
the secretary?
He'll be in tomorrow.
By the way,
what are the names
of the others
that are in this
with you?
Oh, I, I can't
tell you that.
Mr. McDermott,
you're speaking to an officer
of the Justice Department.
I'm... I'm sorry.
So am I.
Please step out
of the car, sir.
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
MCDERMOTT: No, no!
Now I'll give you to ten
to give me the location
of the prototype weapons
and the names
of the other thieves.
One!
We aren't thieves!
We kept the weapons
from being illegally shipped
to our enemies!
We fully intend
to turn them over
to Secretary Laughton!
Three.
No!
You can't do this!
You're a federal agent!
Take off his shoes.
Seven.
No, no, no!
Eight.
Nine!
All right, I'll tell you!
Raleigh Jordan,
Jason Weems,
and Roland Yates!
The location
of the prototype weapons.
I don't know!
I swear it!
All right, okay, look,
they're with, they're with
the others.
We did it purposely
to protect them.
I'm sure you did.
Will you let me go now?
Certainly.
Let him go.
Let's finish up here.
Put this in there.
All right, let's go.
WOMAN: Right over there.
MAN: All right, let's go.
Hey, Charlie.
Frank. What are you
doing here?
I picked this call up
from my scanner.
So they think
it's suicide, huh?
Nothing we found
says suicide.
We're just pulling him
out right now.
Still drifting.
CHARLIE:
Come on, everybody,
clear back.
Let the medical
examiner through.
Well, they indicated
suicide on the scanner.
Besides, through the years,
you know, here,
cargo porters
were the most I've seen
washed ashore
because of that
south-westerly current
from the bridge.
CHARLIE: Half the time.
The other half of the time
the bodies go straight
out to sea.
Well, last night we had
a south-westerly, Charlie.
Besides, you notice,
he's not wearing any shoes.
I went up to the bridge
after I heard
the police scanner.
I happened to find these
up there.
Frank, you're not
a cop anymore.
Yeah, well...
No offense.
When are you gonna get
out of our hair
and let us do our job?
Well, 'cause of
the homeless, you know,
I figured these
wouldn't last long,
so I grabbed them.
Besides, you might
take a look.
There's a note
inside one of them.
I was very careful
not to smudge
any possible prints, Charlie.
Let me guess,
a suicide note.
I think it was meant
to look like a suicide note.
But you'll see it was typed
with a computer paper,
printed out,
but then he signed it
on a soft surface.
So?
Well, most printers
and computers sit
on hard surfaces.
I think it's odd
he wouldn't have taken it
out of the machine
and signed it
right there.
It seems odd
to jump from a bridge,
but there's the body, Frank.
Mmm, it's a little thing,
but you might want
to look into it.
Anything else?
No, I think
that covers it.
Have a nice day, Charlie.
Thanks, Frank.
Danny, take this
to the lab.
What's it?
Uh...
Warn 'em. You know,
it might be fake.
How do you know that?
Don't ask.
One of the brightest stars
in music just came into town
at the invitation
of Millennium 21.
But it all began
for her right here
in the House of Soul.
Ladies and gentlemen,
Miss Carla Day.
[SOMEONE TO WATCH
OVER ME PLAYING]
* There's a somebody
I'm longing to see
* I hope that he
* Turns out to be
* Someone who'll watch
* Over me
It always hurts the most
when the one who burned you
the worst comes back
with a...
fresh load of matches.
* Who's lost in the wood
* I know I could
* Be real good
Oh, and by the way,
your father's here,
taking up a booth.
* Although he may not...
Hey, Dad.
Hey.
You should never have
let that one get away.
No chance you two might...
Didn't you once tell me
that you could never go back?
You picked a hell of a time
to start listening to me.
Yeah, I ran into
Charlie Dann today.
Yeah, he tells me
the academy still needs
a martial arts instructor.
Dad, Dad.
Johnny, come on,
you know you got
a gift for it.
Even Charlie said so.
I like what I do.
Yeah, well...
I like music as well
as the next guy, you know.
Not a life.
So you just happened
to run into Charlie.
Yeah, well,
I had some information
that could help him
on a case he's working on.
Dad.
You're not
a cop anymore.
I trained Charlie.
He still appreciates my help,
he really does.
Yeah. Hey, I gotta
get back out there.
Enjoy the show.
Yeah.
I'll see you later.
Yep. Yeah.
* Someone who will watch
* Over me
It's him.
Then it was a trap,
and we walked
right into it.
McDermott walked
into it.
He insisted on taking
that meeting alone.
This is his own fault.
That's cold.
No, he's cold.
Let's get
out of here.
MAN: We'll be on the ground
in approximately
20 minutes,
Mr. Secretary.
Can I get you anything
before we land?
Get me a secure
line, please.
Raleigh Jordan.
Right now,
I'm in the air.
Mr. Secretary, where are you?
What happened to the meeting?
What are you
talking about?
Someone arranged
a meeting in your name.
McDermott went to it,
now he's dead.
God. I knew
nothing about it.
Have you still
got the proof?
We got it.
And we intercepted three other
prototype weapons systems
just as they were about
to be illegally transshipped.
You bring me the proof
or you bring me
the weapons system,
and I promise you that
I'll move on it immediately.
Mr. Secretary,
after what just happened,
we'd like our next meeting
to be in a public place.
Where do you suggest?
The opening of
Millennium 21 tomorrow.
There'll be a lot of people,
a lot of press,
lots of protection.
WOMAN: The Mayor is hoping
the weather holds out
as he hosts today's opening
of Millennium 21,
the world's largest
communications conference,
that brings together
some of the greatest minds
on the planet.
The VIPs will be given
a tour of the city
aboard a special cable car,
entertained by
saxophone sensation,
Johnny Domino.
Thank you, sir.
Enjoy yourselves.
MAN: Good evening.
Excuse me.
Do you have an envelope
for Raleigh Jordan?
Thank you.
Young black man
just picked up
the credentials
and he's heading your way.
Make no attempt
to stop him.
Thank you, sir.
Thank you.
Enjoy yourselves.
Thank you.
Identification?
Thank you.
Enjoy yourselves.
Excuse me, sir, but I'm going
to need to examine
the contents of that briefcase.
It's all right.
It's all right.
Agent Barton, Mr. Jordan
is delivering that to me.
Well, I'm sure
he is, sir.
Okay, go right
on-board.
Mr. Secretary.
Thank you.
What happened?
Johnny, are you all right?
Don't get up.
Somebody get some help here!
This man is hurt!
Get up. Now.
What are you doing?
It's a bomb!
It's a bomb!
Out! Out! Get out!
Come on, out, out!
We don't have much time.
Get out! Go! Go!
Out! Out! Get out!
Everybody out! Go!
Get down!
Down, down, down!
It is nothing
short of a miracle.
The bold efforts of musician
Johnny Domino let no one die...
Among those taken
to Memorial hospital
for injuries suffered
from fire and burning debris
is Secretary of Defense Laughton
whose condition
remains guarded.
Wait. You don't know
who I am?
Don't touch me!
LAUGHTON: Get away from me!
Get away! Stop!
Did you say
something to me?
I didn't say
anything to you.
RALEIGH: Someone arranged
a meeting in your name.
McDermott went to it...
And now he's dead.
I knew nothing about it.
I knew nothing about it.
It's all right.
It's all right.
Agent Barton, Mr. Jordan
is delivering that to me.
Mr. Jordan
is delivering that to me.
What's his condition?
Took a blow
to the head
from falling debris
but the doctors
are treating him.
What about
the briefcase?
Oh, we missed it.
He got away.
They're concerned about
a Mr. Jordan and a briefcase.
You're one of them?
You were sent
to kill me?
Get away from me!
What the hell is up
with the secretary?
AGENT: That's the musician
who found the bomb.
Get him out of there.
LAUGHTON:
Someone help me, please!
I'm going to take you
out of here, sir.
Thank God, you're here.
We got to talk.
We must talk.
Rest easy, sir.
You'll be okay.
They're trying to kill me.
Don't worry about it.
Mr. Domino, what were you
saying about the bomb
being intended
for Secretary of Defense
Laughton?
What did you
mean by that?
I don't know.
Do you have any idea
who planted the bomb?
JOHNNY: It was a woman.
REPORTER: What woman?
I'm sorry, folks.
This man needs immediate
medical attention.
Doctor, please
move this man.
Thank you.
How did he stop
the bomb?
I don't know.
But there's something screwy
going on with that guy.
We'll deal with him.
He's not going anywhere.
You follow me?
Hey, Dad. Come in.
Look who I found
scratching at your door.
Hi.
You go a long way
to avoid a date.
Carla, are you
all right?
Yeah, on the other hand,
the doctor decided
to keep me around
as a trophy.
I think he's got
all my CDs.
Well, the doc says
you're gonna be fine.
You're lucky, you haven't
got a scratch on you.
Nothing that shows.
What do you mean?
Come here.
I'm hearing things.
Well, of course,
you're hearing things.
I had a buddy once
from the bomb squad
who got too close to one.
He heard whistles
and sirens for years.
Dad, I'm not hearing
whistles or sirens.
Not even sounds.
What are you hearing?
I'm hearing thoughts.
You're hearing thoughts?
I know it sounds
nuts but...
Johnny, Johnny,
you just took
a hell of a shock.
Now, that's going
to do things to you.
I'm afraid we're gonna
have to cut this short.
Mr. Domino
has been through lot.
Doc, I'm fine.
Just as soon as
I get out of this...
Sir.
Take it easy, Mr. Domino.
We still have a lot
of tests to run.
The fact is
you took enough voltage
to fry a bus.
I'll be out
in the morning.
Nurses say
you can't sleep.
I'm gonna give you something
so you'll be rested
for those tests.
I've called in a man
who might be able
to help you
with those voices
you've been hearing.
A shrink?
Well, actually,
he's kind of an expert
in psychic phenomenon.
He's in town
for Millennium 21.
I told him about your sensing
the presence of the bomb.
He was fascinated.
I got on that cable car
with the personal assurance
that there will be
no surviving witnesses.
Make your deal.
Secretary Laughton
is in complete isolation.
He won't be talking
with anyone.
And what about that musician,
the one who found the bomb
and got a good look at me?
Well, there are two ways
of dealing with that problem.
Kill him or discredit him.
Whichever you choose,
don't let it get in the way
of finding those prototypes.
The buyers arrive tomorrow.
What happened?
Let's say the meeting
blew up in my face.
You were there when
the bomb went off?
I was practically
under it.
Did you get to the secretary?
Did you give him the papers?
No. And I came
this close to a bullet.
There are feds
on the wrong side.
You saying
the secretary's in
on the conspiracy?
If we went
to the wrong man,
we're as good as dead.
Look, since we don't know
who to trust,
maybe it's time
we go to the police.
The police, the feds,
with the kind of money
these weapons are worth,
who's beyond selling out?
One thing
is for sure.
We gotta get somebody
on our side, and fast.
DOCTOR: Johnny,
this is Dr. Walton from NISP,
the one I told you
may be able
to shed some light
on those perceptual problems
you've been experiencing.
The nut doctor,
someone who specializes
in people hearing voices.
As a matter of fact,
there are some good
physical reasons
for these disturbances.
Your CAT scan shows
some neurological trauma
to your right temporal lobe.
What are you
telling me, Doc?
That as far as considering
your perceptual aberrations
as something
to be ashamed of,
these voices appear to have
saved quite a lot of lives.
I want very much
to find out more about them.
Gentlemen, you represent
two governments,
and the Colombian cartels.
We invited you here
to preview five
weapons systems.
The price is $250 million
for each of the first
four systems,
and one billion dollars
for the fifth.
Their relative values
will become obvious
as we proceed.
Excuse me.
What kind of discount
if we buy all five?
None. This is not
the Home Shopping Network.
If after viewing the weapons
you wish to purchase
any or all of the systems,
you'll wire transfer the funds
to our offshore account
and be given
computer renderings
and blueprints.
If you wish not
to participate,
there will be
no hard feelings.
The first system
is a fully functional
free flight device,
designed to unshackle men
from the laws of gravity.
This anti-gravity belt
will give a foot soldier
or individual
tactical mobility
unprecedented
in the history of warfare.
JASON: I say
we open up that crate,
we take out the weapons,
and then individually
divide them among ourselves
and then we go hide them
somewhere.
RALEIGH: I don't think
we can afford to have
even one of these weapons
falling into
the wrong hands.
I think that one of us
has to try again.
What?
To tell the secretary
that the bomb
was meant for him.
You mean,
go back and get him
in that hospital?
United States
Secretary of Defense
told you that someone
tried to kill him?
I don't remember him
actually saying the words.
I mean...
I don't remember
his mouth moving.
I know this sounds crazy,
but it was like I felt
what he was thinking.
John, my work
for the past 40 years
has been
with our government
in a race
with the Soviet Union
to harness
extrasensory perception.
Now, during this race
we've discovered
that one man today...
Well, he thinks only
with about ten percent
of his brain.
And what powers
would be released
if we could tap into
the remaining 90 percent?
What does that have
to do with me?
Johnny, if your
perceptions are true
that Secretary Laughton
was the target,
then he is in
grave danger.
You may be the only one
who can tell us where
that danger comes from.
We must act at once.
When used in
a military uniform,
it provides an astonishingly
high degree of bullet-proofing,
as this test indicates.
The bullet marks prove
that the uniform did exceed
any vulnerability threshold.
STONE: Man, this place
is unbelievable.
Somebody ran off
with my lab coat
with my ID and my wallet.
Call security.
Yes, Dr. Stone.
My God! To think
any American citizen
would conceive a plan
to sell weapons like these
to our enemies.
We're afraid
they may be further along
than when we first
advised you.
We believe
the only thing keeping
from completing some sales
is the loss
of the prototype weapons.
Which your people have
in their possession.
Yes, but if they get
their hands on them,
they may be able
to close their deals
and exchange documents
within the next 72 hours.
No time to waste.
I've got to talk
to my Head of Security.
No!
You mustn't do that.
What are you
talking about?
He's my most
trusted confidant!
Someone tried to kill you,
and did kill one of us.
We can't afford to take
any more chances.
He arrived at 11:42 a.m.
using phony credentials,
per your instructions.
No one attempted
to stop him.
Are the men
on the door all ours?
Yeah. Briefed
and ready to go.
Okay, let's go
clean it up.
Uh, just going for an x-ray.
I'll have him right back.
Yes, sir.
Are the men
on the door all ours?
They're briefed
and ready to go.
Okay. Let's go
clean it up.
They're gonna kill
the secretary.
That's what we're here for.
To look into this!
No, right now.
Johnny, don't take this on
by yourself!
Go back, Mr. Secretary.
It's all right,
my boy.
Barton is on our side.
Yes, and you're gonna be
a big help to us, Mr. Yates.
Oh, my God.
You gunned him down
in cold blood.
No, sir, you did.
The door!
Somebody was there!
John?
CARLA: What are you
doing in here?
Yes, gentlemen,
I might ask
the same question myself.
I'm Dr. Walton.
National Security Institute.
Secretary Laughton
was just shot to death
in the stairwell.
Someone escaped
onto this floor.
This man
may have been involved.
WALTON: You can see
why Mr. Domino
is on this floor.
Prior to that,
he was with me
in the lobby.
As a matter of fact,
we saw you two,
racing past
into the stairwell.
How did you get up
to this floor, Mr. Domino?
By the elevator.
I saw him.
I guess that'll be all.
Why did you do that?
How did you know
I wasn't involved
in the murder?
Because if you were,
you wouldn't have
predicted it to me.
And that staircase
was the last place on earth
you'd want to be seen.
And because
I've been searching
for someone like you
for 40 years.
WOMAN: And finally,
the weapons system
most sought after by men
since the beginning
of the Modern Age.
In the '30s and '40s,
Flash Gordon, feared as...
Krueger.
Oh.
Find him.
The secretary is dead.
Our problems are over.
Maybe not.
There may be a new one,
a possible witness.
WOMAN: Who?
A young fellow.
No.
You're not gonna tell me
it's this musician again.
Aren't you beginning to find
his constant presence
too coincidental?
It's only a minor nuisance
that will be handled.
If I may inject
the position
of my government,
minor problems has a way
of becoming major problems.
And we will not accept
anyone interfering
with our business
arrangements.
So if there is something
that we can handle
that might be awkward
for officers of the law...
I don't believe
we need any help.
I believe we do.
RALEIGH:
The guy who saved my life,
I've been thinking
about going to him.
For what?
He's a musician!
He somehow knows
more about this
than anybody else.
Oh!
He knew about the bomb.
He knew
that it was meant
for the secretary.
I think he's more
than just a musician.
I think maybe
he's an agent
working directly
with the secretary.
How else could he be
in the middle
of everything?
Look, I'm sorry.
You're sorry?
But look,
I cannot place my life
in the hands
of a saxophone player.
You... You go
your way, and...
I'll go mine.
Weems, don't do this.
Hey, man,
I think you're making
a big mistake, man.
Who sent you?
Whoa. Hold it now.
No kung fu,
I'm on your side.
Now, look.
It looks like
you're hurt.
And you're gonna keep
on getting hurt
if you don't let somebody
offer you some help.
All right?
Who are you?
Let's just say that
I'm an equally
aggrieved party.
Let's get out of here.
Sorry to keep you
waiting, Mr. Weems.
So let me see
if I got this straight.
You and three
of your associates
were engaged
in some sort of
a super cop program
in order to rescue
defense projects.
Along the way in doing so,
you came across irregularities
involving classified
materials, is that right?
That's right.
Including our most dangerous
new weapon, the neutron gun.
So, what did you do?
One of our members,
Raleigh Jordan,
he inquired
with the chairman
of our company.
Did he and the company
act on it?
Well, Raleigh was commended
for his vigilance,
and told that the matter
would be looked into,
but almost immediately,
he was transfered
out of the state.
So you took your concerns
to a higher authority
outside the company?
The papers said that
Defense Secretary Laughton
was coming here
for Millennium 21.
So we decided to get
in touch with him.
Only now he's dead.
Yeah, Maggie.
Send him in.
I'm gonna be working
with you closely on this,
Mr. Weems.
Homicide, even that
of a cabinet-level member
is my jurisdiction.
Espionage,
on the other hand, is not.
The chief has taken the liberty
of sending in an expert.
Someone he thinks
can help us out.
Gentlemen.
You'd be Mr. Weems.
We've been
looking for you.
What is this place?
A defense contractor
we used to work with
went belly-up.
We figured an empty plant
would be as safe a place
as any to store a few things.
Including us.
Come on.
No. That's not our boys
with machine guns.
You're lucky
they didn't kill you.
PILOT: Surveillance one
to Central.
We've located an automobile
answering the description
on our AAC bulletin.
Now, I'm going to tell you
the sad story
of four very patriotic,
now soon to be extinct
engineers.
See, some of us
decided to see
if we could avoid
being laid off
by trying to find some
law enforcement applications
for some of the toys
we have developed
for the Pentagon.
So you were doing this
on your own
to save your jobs.
That's right.
A whole new line
of super tools
developed
for super policemen.
Now,
our indestructible
fighting man
comes in both a military
and civilian configuration,
featuring integrated systems,
which includes
a belt which enables him
to overcome gravity.
Fabrics which are
virtually bulletproof.
A stealth mode,
which makes him
seem to disappear.
And a holographic display
which makes him appear
to be where he ain't.
Very impressive.
Yeah.
We thought so.
Until we found out
we weren't the only ones
looking into these
weapons systems.
And while working
with these components,
we stumbled on
some irregularities
within the computer.
We found that our most
secret technologies
were being re-labeled,
or given new
serial numbers
which don't correspond
with their old defense
department designations.
And what would
that mean?
That things
could be removed
from the computer
without triggering
the Pentagon safeguards.
Which would
mean espionage?
Exactly.
We found that these
top secret technologies
were about to be shipped
to a new company
called Strand Cybertech,
which has no security
clearance whatsoever.
So we took matters
into our own hands
and had the crate
shipped here.
So this is what
everyone's dying for.
Yeah.
If you think the weapons
on the computer
are impressive...
Wait.
Krueger, the police
have found the car
matching the description
of the one belonging
to Raleigh Jordan.
We're verifying
the plates now.
Where's the car?
It's in the
warehouse district.
You get there ahead
of the patrol cars.
On our way.
These are one of a kind
prototypes.
Now, whoever it is
at the top of this company
who ordered them shipped out
in the middle of the night,
didn't realize
that we were working on
the civilian administration.
So here they are.
Anti-gravity belt,
holographic display unit,
stealth cape.
Bullet resistant suit.
And of course,
I have saved
the best for last.
Ta-dah!
What does
the red eye do?
The eye has multi scan
and targeting capabilities
which employs
infrared night vision
and thermal technology.
It almost emits
a laser beam
of varying intensities
which can serve
as a weapon
and a cutting device.
It almost looks
like he can talk.
Uh, before you listen,
there's something
that I should tell you.
We ship
these systems out
so they wouldn't fall
into the hands
of our country's enemies.
Now, you have
to believe that.
I do believe that.
Yeah.
See, but the point is,
they're classified.
If we run into
the wrong people,
we could legally be shot
for having them
in our possession.
"Wrong people"?
Attention!
Attention, this is
the Justice Department.
Come out
with your hands up.
That's it, it's over.
Attention, this is
the Justice Department.
Come out
with your hands up.
This is your last chance.
Look, it's me they're after,
so, I don't know,
if you can find
a place to hide,
I'll go out and surrender.
These things will fall
in the wrong hands.
The worst.
Come on.
Let's load 'em up.
Look, I'm sure they've got
all the doors covered.
What about your toys?
Do any of them work?
Well, yeah, but...
It's a good time
to find out
what they can do.
Here, open up this big bag.
There's a field bag in there.
We can start
putting stuff in.
But leave the cape
and the belt out.
Got something special
planned for that.
This is your final warning.
RALEIGH: Wait, wait,
not the silk one.
Wait. Give me
the anti-gravity belt.
JOHNNY: Okay.
RALEIGH:
You good
Let's go.
Come on.
Okay.
Over here.
I hate to tell you,
there's no door here.
Just pray
the battery packs are up.
Come on, hurry. Hurry.
Get that door open.
What good is this
gonna do?
Stealth, man. Stealth.
All right, spread out.
Sweep the area.
Let's go!
JOHNNY: How long
can we stay like this?
I don't know how long
the battery pack will hold.
MAN: I want two of you
upstairs.
Briggs, upstairs,
in the office.
Go ahead.
MAN: Check the back there.
Anything?
MAN 2: Nothing here.
MAN 3: No, sir,
nothing over here.
Well, whatever was here
isn't here now.
They're in the warehouse
someplace,
and they're not
empty-handed.
We got to take a chance
to get out of here.
I'm the one they're after,
me and this equipment.
Raleigh, they don't
want you alive.
They have orders
to shoot to kill.
And how do you
know that?
I just know.
MAN: So far, we're clear.
Nothing!
Keep looking.
What have you got?
I think you might
wanna look at this.
Copy. Go ahead.
There's a crate inside
that says they were here,
but now they're gone.
Well, what's in the crate?
Anything we've been
looking for?
It's dead empty.
But I did find
this hospital bracelet.
We gotta get out of here.
You heard them.
They have this whole
place surrounded.
The only way out is up.
Okay, let's just pray
that the battery packs
will hold
and they can work for two.
You're stronger than me.
You put the belt on,
I hold the bag,
you hold me.
Don't unplug the...
Visible.
We're visible.
No, sir, we didn't
find the weapons.
Uh-huh. Right.
What the hell kind of circus
you running around here?
You jumped my collar.
That's my bird up there.
Our jurisdictions
don't conflict
when it comes
to Raleigh Jordan.
This is espionage.
He's ours.
You get him into custody,
then we'll talk.
Okay.
Belt's tight.
Gotcha.
Now what happens?
Now, I'm gonna hold on tight
to all the systems in this bag
and what you're gonna
hold on tight to is me.
Got it?
Got it.
CHARLIE: Can't you leave
that scanner alone?
Not when I hear you
broadcasting my son's name
all over town.
He and Raleigh Jordan
may be in there.
Who's Raleigh Jordan?
What's Johnny doing
in there with him?
Your son's not
an innocent bystander
in all this, sir.
What are you
talking about?
It's about stolen weapons.
Krueger's men found
an empty weapons
crate in there.
Along with this.
What is that?
It's your son's
hospital ID tag.
RALEIGH: We're getting out.
If we climb down,
we'll be on their laps.
We're not climbing down,
we're gravitating up.
From this height?
John!
You either believe
in the system
or you don't.
Come on now.
Okay.
Okay.
Now,
I suggest
we head that way.
Go into the back.
Charlie, you know Johnny
would never get mixed up
in anything criminal.
I don't wanna believe that,
Frank, but it doesn't
look good for him.
Like father, like son,
is that what you mean?
I've always been
on your side, Frank.
I went to bat for you
when the cops threw you
off the force.
I said those cops framed you
for not playing ball.
Don't put this on me.
So, what about Johnny?
There's not enough
to arrest him.
But even if the feds
weren't here,
I'd have
to follow up on that.
You know that.
You're the one
who trained me.
Hold tight.
You, you hold tight.
Whoa!
JOHNNY: This is working.
This is working.
Whoo!
God, this is frightening.
No, man,
this is cool.
This has gotta be
the most incredible sight
I've ever seen!
Okay, okay, let's not
get too carried away.
I mean, this is all
very experimental,
and the anti-gravity system
can be tricky to control
if you try to get
too fancy, okay
Watch this.
Whoa!
God, I cannot
take this!
Hey!
Uh-oh.
What's that?
Battery's going down.
What does that mean?
It means that
we're going down.
Yeah.
Hey. What do you...
What do you
think you're...
Special Agent Barton,
Justice Department.
Please step into
the car, sir.
You're not
Secretary Laughton.
I'm here to determine
whether you're a crackpot
or a patriot.
Let's vacate the area,
gentlemen.
You've made accusations
against some
very powerful people.
Our evidence is ironclad.
MAN: What about
the prototype weapons
you and the others
have intercepted?
Where are they now?
MCDERMOTT: They're where
they won't fall into the hands
of our country's enemies.
Pull over, Agent.
Why, why are we
stopping here?
You want this
conspiracy crushed,
the first thing that's needed
is your signature
on a transcript
of what you've told us.
Is everything ready?
AGENT: Printing out
the last page now, sir.
This is an account
of our meeting.
I'd like you to sign it
on the last page, please.
I can hardly see where.
That's okay.
How soon can I meet
the secretary?
He'll be in tomorrow.
By the way,
what are the names
of the others
that are in this
with you?
Oh, I, I can't
tell you that.
Mr. McDermott,
you're speaking to an officer
of the Justice Department.
I'm... I'm sorry.
So am I.
Please step out
of the car, sir.
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
MCDERMOTT: No, no!
Now I'll give you to ten
to give me the location
of the prototype weapons
and the names
of the other thieves.
One!
We aren't thieves!
We kept the weapons
from being illegally shipped
to our enemies!
We fully intend
to turn them over
to Secretary Laughton!
Three.
No!
You can't do this!
You're a federal agent!
Take off his shoes.
Seven.
No, no, no!
Eight.
Nine!
All right, I'll tell you!
Raleigh Jordan,
Jason Weems,
and Roland Yates!
The location
of the prototype weapons.
I don't know!
I swear it!
All right, okay, look,
they're with, they're with
the others.
We did it purposely
to protect them.
I'm sure you did.
Will you let me go now?
Certainly.
Let him go.
Let's finish up here.
Put this in there.
All right, let's go.
WOMAN: Right over there.
MAN: All right, let's go.
Hey, Charlie.
Frank. What are you
doing here?
I picked this call up
from my scanner.
So they think
it's suicide, huh?
Nothing we found
says suicide.
We're just pulling him
out right now.
Still drifting.
CHARLIE:
Come on, everybody,
clear back.
Let the medical
examiner through.
Well, they indicated
suicide on the scanner.
Besides, through the years,
you know, here,
cargo porters
were the most I've seen
washed ashore
because of that
south-westerly current
from the bridge.
CHARLIE: Half the time.
The other half of the time
the bodies go straight
out to sea.
Well, last night we had
a south-westerly, Charlie.
Besides, you notice,
he's not wearing any shoes.
I went up to the bridge
after I heard
the police scanner.
I happened to find these
up there.
Frank, you're not
a cop anymore.
Yeah, well...
No offense.
When are you gonna get
out of our hair
and let us do our job?
Well, 'cause of
the homeless, you know,
I figured these
wouldn't last long,
so I grabbed them.
Besides, you might
take a look.
There's a note
inside one of them.
I was very careful
not to smudge
any possible prints, Charlie.
Let me guess,
a suicide note.
I think it was meant
to look like a suicide note.
But you'll see it was typed
with a computer paper,
printed out,
but then he signed it
on a soft surface.
So?
Well, most printers
and computers sit
on hard surfaces.
I think it's odd
he wouldn't have taken it
out of the machine
and signed it
right there.
It seems odd
to jump from a bridge,
but there's the body, Frank.
Mmm, it's a little thing,
but you might want
to look into it.
Anything else?
No, I think
that covers it.
Have a nice day, Charlie.
Thanks, Frank.
Danny, take this
to the lab.
What's it?
Uh...
Warn 'em. You know,
it might be fake.
How do you know that?
Don't ask.
One of the brightest stars
in music just came into town
at the invitation
of Millennium 21.
But it all began
for her right here
in the House of Soul.
Ladies and gentlemen,
Miss Carla Day.
[SOMEONE TO WATCH
OVER ME PLAYING]
* There's a somebody
I'm longing to see
* I hope that he
* Turns out to be
* Someone who'll watch
* Over me
It always hurts the most
when the one who burned you
the worst comes back
with a...
fresh load of matches.
* Who's lost in the wood
* I know I could
* Be real good
Oh, and by the way,
your father's here,
taking up a booth.
* Although he may not...
Hey, Dad.
Hey.
You should never have
let that one get away.
No chance you two might...
Didn't you once tell me
that you could never go back?
You picked a hell of a time
to start listening to me.
Yeah, I ran into
Charlie Dann today.
Yeah, he tells me
the academy still needs
a martial arts instructor.
Dad, Dad.
Johnny, come on,
you know you got
a gift for it.
Even Charlie said so.
I like what I do.
Yeah, well...
I like music as well
as the next guy, you know.
Not a life.
So you just happened
to run into Charlie.
Yeah, well,
I had some information
that could help him
on a case he's working on.
Dad.
You're not
a cop anymore.
I trained Charlie.
He still appreciates my help,
he really does.
Yeah. Hey, I gotta
get back out there.
Enjoy the show.
Yeah.
I'll see you later.
Yep. Yeah.
* Someone who will watch
* Over me
It's him.
Then it was a trap,
and we walked
right into it.
McDermott walked
into it.
He insisted on taking
that meeting alone.
This is his own fault.
That's cold.
No, he's cold.
Let's get
out of here.
MAN: We'll be on the ground
in approximately
20 minutes,
Mr. Secretary.
Can I get you anything
before we land?
Get me a secure
line, please.
Raleigh Jordan.
Right now,
I'm in the air.
Mr. Secretary, where are you?
What happened to the meeting?
What are you
talking about?
Someone arranged
a meeting in your name.
McDermott went to it,
now he's dead.
God. I knew
nothing about it.
Have you still
got the proof?
We got it.
And we intercepted three other
prototype weapons systems
just as they were about
to be illegally transshipped.
You bring me the proof
or you bring me
the weapons system,
and I promise you that
I'll move on it immediately.
Mr. Secretary,
after what just happened,
we'd like our next meeting
to be in a public place.
Where do you suggest?
The opening of
Millennium 21 tomorrow.
There'll be a lot of people,
a lot of press,
lots of protection.
WOMAN: The Mayor is hoping
the weather holds out
as he hosts today's opening
of Millennium 21,
the world's largest
communications conference,
that brings together
some of the greatest minds
on the planet.
The VIPs will be given
a tour of the city
aboard a special cable car,
entertained by
saxophone sensation,
Johnny Domino.
Thank you, sir.
Enjoy yourselves.
MAN: Good evening.
Excuse me.
Do you have an envelope
for Raleigh Jordan?
Thank you.
Young black man
just picked up
the credentials
and he's heading your way.
Make no attempt
to stop him.
Thank you, sir.
Thank you.
Enjoy yourselves.
Thank you.
Identification?
Thank you.
Enjoy yourselves.
Excuse me, sir, but I'm going
to need to examine
the contents of that briefcase.
It's all right.
It's all right.
Agent Barton, Mr. Jordan
is delivering that to me.
Well, I'm sure
he is, sir.
Okay, go right
on-board.
Mr. Secretary.
Thank you.
What happened?
Johnny, are you all right?
Don't get up.
Somebody get some help here!
This man is hurt!
Get up. Now.
What are you doing?
It's a bomb!
It's a bomb!
Out! Out! Get out!
Come on, out, out!
We don't have much time.
Get out! Go! Go!
Out! Out! Get out!
Everybody out! Go!
Get down!
Down, down, down!
It is nothing
short of a miracle.
The bold efforts of musician
Johnny Domino let no one die...
Among those taken
to Memorial hospital
for injuries suffered
from fire and burning debris
is Secretary of Defense Laughton
whose condition
remains guarded.
Wait. You don't know
who I am?
Don't touch me!
LAUGHTON: Get away from me!
Get away! Stop!
Did you say
something to me?
I didn't say
anything to you.
RALEIGH: Someone arranged
a meeting in your name.
McDermott went to it...
And now he's dead.
I knew nothing about it.
I knew nothing about it.
It's all right.
It's all right.
Agent Barton, Mr. Jordan
is delivering that to me.
Mr. Jordan
is delivering that to me.
What's his condition?
Took a blow
to the head
from falling debris
but the doctors
are treating him.
What about
the briefcase?
Oh, we missed it.
He got away.
They're concerned about
a Mr. Jordan and a briefcase.
You're one of them?
You were sent
to kill me?
Get away from me!
What the hell is up
with the secretary?
AGENT: That's the musician
who found the bomb.
Get him out of there.
LAUGHTON:
Someone help me, please!
I'm going to take you
out of here, sir.
Thank God, you're here.
We got to talk.
We must talk.
Rest easy, sir.
You'll be okay.
They're trying to kill me.
Don't worry about it.
Mr. Domino, what were you
saying about the bomb
being intended
for Secretary of Defense
Laughton?
What did you
mean by that?
I don't know.
Do you have any idea
who planted the bomb?
JOHNNY: It was a woman.
REPORTER: What woman?
I'm sorry, folks.
This man needs immediate
medical attention.
Doctor, please
move this man.
Thank you.
How did he stop
the bomb?
I don't know.
But there's something screwy
going on with that guy.
We'll deal with him.
He's not going anywhere.
You follow me?
Hey, Dad. Come in.
Look who I found
scratching at your door.
Hi.
You go a long way
to avoid a date.
Carla, are you
all right?
Yeah, on the other hand,
the doctor decided
to keep me around
as a trophy.
I think he's got
all my CDs.
Well, the doc says
you're gonna be fine.
You're lucky, you haven't
got a scratch on you.
Nothing that shows.
What do you mean?
Come here.
I'm hearing things.
Well, of course,
you're hearing things.
I had a buddy once
from the bomb squad
who got too close to one.
He heard whistles
and sirens for years.
Dad, I'm not hearing
whistles or sirens.
Not even sounds.
What are you hearing?
I'm hearing thoughts.
You're hearing thoughts?
I know it sounds
nuts but...
Johnny, Johnny,
you just took
a hell of a shock.
Now, that's going
to do things to you.
I'm afraid we're gonna
have to cut this short.
Mr. Domino
has been through lot.
Doc, I'm fine.
Just as soon as
I get out of this...
Sir.
Take it easy, Mr. Domino.
We still have a lot
of tests to run.
The fact is
you took enough voltage
to fry a bus.
I'll be out
in the morning.
Nurses say
you can't sleep.
I'm gonna give you something
so you'll be rested
for those tests.
I've called in a man
who might be able
to help you
with those voices
you've been hearing.
A shrink?
Well, actually,
he's kind of an expert
in psychic phenomenon.
He's in town
for Millennium 21.
I told him about your sensing
the presence of the bomb.
He was fascinated.
I got on that cable car
with the personal assurance
that there will be
no surviving witnesses.
Make your deal.
Secretary Laughton
is in complete isolation.
He won't be talking
with anyone.
And what about that musician,
the one who found the bomb
and got a good look at me?
Well, there are two ways
of dealing with that problem.
Kill him or discredit him.
Whichever you choose,
don't let it get in the way
of finding those prototypes.
The buyers arrive tomorrow.
What happened?
Let's say the meeting
blew up in my face.
You were there when
the bomb went off?
I was practically
under it.
Did you get to the secretary?
Did you give him the papers?
No. And I came
this close to a bullet.
There are feds
on the wrong side.
You saying
the secretary's in
on the conspiracy?
If we went
to the wrong man,
we're as good as dead.
Look, since we don't know
who to trust,
maybe it's time
we go to the police.
The police, the feds,
with the kind of money
these weapons are worth,
who's beyond selling out?
One thing
is for sure.
We gotta get somebody
on our side, and fast.
DOCTOR: Johnny,
this is Dr. Walton from NISP,
the one I told you
may be able
to shed some light
on those perceptual problems
you've been experiencing.
The nut doctor,
someone who specializes
in people hearing voices.
As a matter of fact,
there are some good
physical reasons
for these disturbances.
Your CAT scan shows
some neurological trauma
to your right temporal lobe.
What are you
telling me, Doc?
That as far as considering
your perceptual aberrations
as something
to be ashamed of,
these voices appear to have
saved quite a lot of lives.
I want very much
to find out more about them.
Gentlemen, you represent
two governments,
and the Colombian cartels.
We invited you here
to preview five
weapons systems.
The price is $250 million
for each of the first
four systems,
and one billion dollars
for the fifth.
Their relative values
will become obvious
as we proceed.
Excuse me.
What kind of discount
if we buy all five?
None. This is not
the Home Shopping Network.
If after viewing the weapons
you wish to purchase
any or all of the systems,
you'll wire transfer the funds
to our offshore account
and be given
computer renderings
and blueprints.
If you wish not
to participate,
there will be
no hard feelings.
The first system
is a fully functional
free flight device,
designed to unshackle men
from the laws of gravity.
This anti-gravity belt
will give a foot soldier
or individual
tactical mobility
unprecedented
in the history of warfare.
JASON: I say
we open up that crate,
we take out the weapons,
and then individually
divide them among ourselves
and then we go hide them
somewhere.
RALEIGH: I don't think
we can afford to have
even one of these weapons
falling into
the wrong hands.
I think that one of us
has to try again.
What?
To tell the secretary
that the bomb
was meant for him.
You mean,
go back and get him
in that hospital?
United States
Secretary of Defense
told you that someone
tried to kill him?
I don't remember him
actually saying the words.
I mean...
I don't remember
his mouth moving.
I know this sounds crazy,
but it was like I felt
what he was thinking.
John, my work
for the past 40 years
has been
with our government
in a race
with the Soviet Union
to harness
extrasensory perception.
Now, during this race
we've discovered
that one man today...
Well, he thinks only
with about ten percent
of his brain.
And what powers
would be released
if we could tap into
the remaining 90 percent?
What does that have
to do with me?
Johnny, if your
perceptions are true
that Secretary Laughton
was the target,
then he is in
grave danger.
You may be the only one
who can tell us where
that danger comes from.
We must act at once.
When used in
a military uniform,
it provides an astonishingly
high degree of bullet-proofing,
as this test indicates.
The bullet marks prove
that the uniform did exceed
any vulnerability threshold.
STONE: Man, this place
is unbelievable.
Somebody ran off
with my lab coat
with my ID and my wallet.
Call security.
Yes, Dr. Stone.
My God! To think
any American citizen
would conceive a plan
to sell weapons like these
to our enemies.
We're afraid
they may be further along
than when we first
advised you.
We believe
the only thing keeping
from completing some sales
is the loss
of the prototype weapons.
Which your people have
in their possession.
Yes, but if they get
their hands on them,
they may be able
to close their deals
and exchange documents
within the next 72 hours.
No time to waste.
I've got to talk
to my Head of Security.
No!
You mustn't do that.
What are you
talking about?
He's my most
trusted confidant!
Someone tried to kill you,
and did kill one of us.
We can't afford to take
any more chances.
He arrived at 11:42 a.m.
using phony credentials,
per your instructions.
No one attempted
to stop him.
Are the men
on the door all ours?
Yeah. Briefed
and ready to go.
Okay, let's go
clean it up.
Uh, just going for an x-ray.
I'll have him right back.
Yes, sir.
Are the men
on the door all ours?
They're briefed
and ready to go.
Okay. Let's go
clean it up.
They're gonna kill
the secretary.
That's what we're here for.
To look into this!
No, right now.
Johnny, don't take this on
by yourself!
Go back, Mr. Secretary.
It's all right,
my boy.
Barton is on our side.
Yes, and you're gonna be
a big help to us, Mr. Yates.
Oh, my God.
You gunned him down
in cold blood.
No, sir, you did.
The door!
Somebody was there!
John?
CARLA: What are you
doing in here?
Yes, gentlemen,
I might ask
the same question myself.
I'm Dr. Walton.
National Security Institute.
Secretary Laughton
was just shot to death
in the stairwell.
Someone escaped
onto this floor.
This man
may have been involved.
WALTON: You can see
why Mr. Domino
is on this floor.
Prior to that,
he was with me
in the lobby.
As a matter of fact,
we saw you two,
racing past
into the stairwell.
How did you get up
to this floor, Mr. Domino?
By the elevator.
I saw him.
I guess that'll be all.
Why did you do that?
How did you know
I wasn't involved
in the murder?
Because if you were,
you wouldn't have
predicted it to me.
And that staircase
was the last place on earth
you'd want to be seen.
And because
I've been searching
for someone like you
for 40 years.
WOMAN: And finally,
the weapons system
most sought after by men
since the beginning
of the Modern Age.
In the '30s and '40s,
Flash Gordon, feared as...
Krueger.
Oh.
Find him.
The secretary is dead.
Our problems are over.
Maybe not.
There may be a new one,
a possible witness.
WOMAN: Who?
A young fellow.
No.
You're not gonna tell me
it's this musician again.
Aren't you beginning to find
his constant presence
too coincidental?
It's only a minor nuisance
that will be handled.
If I may inject
the position
of my government,
minor problems has a way
of becoming major problems.
And we will not accept
anyone interfering
with our business
arrangements.
So if there is something
that we can handle
that might be awkward
for officers of the law...
I don't believe
we need any help.
I believe we do.
RALEIGH:
The guy who saved my life,
I've been thinking
about going to him.
For what?
He's a musician!
He somehow knows
more about this
than anybody else.
Oh!
He knew about the bomb.
He knew
that it was meant
for the secretary.
I think he's more
than just a musician.
I think maybe
he's an agent
working directly
with the secretary.
How else could he be
in the middle
of everything?
Look, I'm sorry.
You're sorry?
But look,
I cannot place my life
in the hands
of a saxophone player.
You... You go
your way, and...
I'll go mine.
Weems, don't do this.
Hey, man,
I think you're making
a big mistake, man.
Who sent you?
Whoa. Hold it now.
No kung fu,
I'm on your side.
Now, look.
It looks like
you're hurt.
And you're gonna keep
on getting hurt
if you don't let somebody
offer you some help.
All right?
Who are you?
Let's just say that
I'm an equally
aggrieved party.
Let's get out of here.
Sorry to keep you
waiting, Mr. Weems.
So let me see
if I got this straight.
You and three
of your associates
were engaged
in some sort of
a super cop program
in order to rescue
defense projects.
Along the way in doing so,
you came across irregularities
involving classified
materials, is that right?
That's right.
Including our most dangerous
new weapon, the neutron gun.
So, what did you do?
One of our members,
Raleigh Jordan,
he inquired
with the chairman
of our company.
Did he and the company
act on it?
Well, Raleigh was commended
for his vigilance,
and told that the matter
would be looked into,
but almost immediately,
he was transfered
out of the state.
So you took your concerns
to a higher authority
outside the company?
The papers said that
Defense Secretary Laughton
was coming here
for Millennium 21.
So we decided to get
in touch with him.
Only now he's dead.
Yeah, Maggie.
Send him in.
I'm gonna be working
with you closely on this,
Mr. Weems.
Homicide, even that
of a cabinet-level member
is my jurisdiction.
Espionage,
on the other hand, is not.
The chief has taken the liberty
of sending in an expert.
Someone he thinks
can help us out.
Gentlemen.
You'd be Mr. Weems.
We've been
looking for you.
What is this place?
A defense contractor
we used to work with
went belly-up.
We figured an empty plant
would be as safe a place
as any to store a few things.
Including us.
Come on.
No. That's not our boys
with machine guns.
You're lucky
they didn't kill you.
PILOT: Surveillance one
to Central.
We've located an automobile
answering the description
on our AAC bulletin.
Now, I'm going to tell you
the sad story
of four very patriotic,
now soon to be extinct
engineers.
See, some of us
decided to see
if we could avoid
being laid off
by trying to find some
law enforcement applications
for some of the toys
we have developed
for the Pentagon.
So you were doing this
on your own
to save your jobs.
That's right.
A whole new line
of super tools
developed
for super policemen.
Now,
our indestructible
fighting man
comes in both a military
and civilian configuration,
featuring integrated systems,
which includes
a belt which enables him
to overcome gravity.
Fabrics which are
virtually bulletproof.
A stealth mode,
which makes him
seem to disappear.
And a holographic display
which makes him appear
to be where he ain't.
Very impressive.
Yeah.
We thought so.
Until we found out
we weren't the only ones
looking into these
weapons systems.
And while working
with these components,
we stumbled on
some irregularities
within the computer.
We found that our most
secret technologies
were being re-labeled,
or given new
serial numbers
which don't correspond
with their old defense
department designations.
And what would
that mean?
That things
could be removed
from the computer
without triggering
the Pentagon safeguards.
Which would
mean espionage?
Exactly.
We found that these
top secret technologies
were about to be shipped
to a new company
called Strand Cybertech,
which has no security
clearance whatsoever.
So we took matters
into our own hands
and had the crate
shipped here.
So this is what
everyone's dying for.
Yeah.
If you think the weapons
on the computer
are impressive...
Wait.
Krueger, the police
have found the car
matching the description
of the one belonging
to Raleigh Jordan.
We're verifying
the plates now.
Where's the car?
It's in the
warehouse district.
You get there ahead
of the patrol cars.
On our way.
These are one of a kind
prototypes.
Now, whoever it is
at the top of this company
who ordered them shipped out
in the middle of the night,
didn't realize
that we were working on
the civilian administration.
So here they are.
Anti-gravity belt,
holographic display unit,
stealth cape.
Bullet resistant suit.
And of course,
I have saved
the best for last.
Ta-dah!
What does
the red eye do?
The eye has multi scan
and targeting capabilities
which employs
infrared night vision
and thermal technology.
It almost emits
a laser beam
of varying intensities
which can serve
as a weapon
and a cutting device.
It almost looks
like he can talk.
Uh, before you listen,
there's something
that I should tell you.
We ship
these systems out
so they wouldn't fall
into the hands
of our country's enemies.
Now, you have
to believe that.
I do believe that.
Yeah.
See, but the point is,
they're classified.
If we run into
the wrong people,
we could legally be shot
for having them
in our possession.
"Wrong people"?
Attention!
Attention, this is
the Justice Department.
Come out
with your hands up.
That's it, it's over.
Attention, this is
the Justice Department.
Come out
with your hands up.
This is your last chance.
Look, it's me they're after,
so, I don't know,
if you can find
a place to hide,
I'll go out and surrender.
These things will fall
in the wrong hands.
The worst.
Come on.
Let's load 'em up.
Look, I'm sure they've got
all the doors covered.
What about your toys?
Do any of them work?
Well, yeah, but...
It's a good time
to find out
what they can do.
Here, open up this big bag.
There's a field bag in there.
We can start
putting stuff in.
But leave the cape
and the belt out.
Got something special
planned for that.
This is your final warning.
RALEIGH: Wait, wait,
not the silk one.
Wait. Give me
the anti-gravity belt.
JOHNNY: Okay.
RALEIGH:
You good
Let's go.
Come on.
Okay.
Over here.
I hate to tell you,
there's no door here.
Just pray
the battery packs are up.
Come on, hurry. Hurry.
Get that door open.
What good is this
gonna do?
Stealth, man. Stealth.
All right, spread out.
Sweep the area.
Let's go!
JOHNNY: How long
can we stay like this?
I don't know how long
the battery pack will hold.
MAN: I want two of you
upstairs.
Briggs, upstairs,
in the office.
Go ahead.
MAN: Check the back there.
Anything?
MAN 2: Nothing here.
MAN 3: No, sir,
nothing over here.
Well, whatever was here
isn't here now.
They're in the warehouse
someplace,
and they're not
empty-handed.
We got to take a chance
to get out of here.
I'm the one they're after,
me and this equipment.
Raleigh, they don't
want you alive.
They have orders
to shoot to kill.
And how do you
know that?
I just know.
MAN: So far, we're clear.
Nothing!
Keep looking.
What have you got?
I think you might
wanna look at this.
Copy. Go ahead.
There's a crate inside
that says they were here,
but now they're gone.
Well, what's in the crate?
Anything we've been
looking for?
It's dead empty.
But I did find
this hospital bracelet.
We gotta get out of here.
You heard them.
They have this whole
place surrounded.
The only way out is up.
Okay, let's just pray
that the battery packs
will hold
and they can work for two.
You're stronger than me.
You put the belt on,
I hold the bag,
you hold me.
Don't unplug the...
Visible.
We're visible.
No, sir, we didn't
find the weapons.
Uh-huh. Right.
What the hell kind of circus
you running around here?
You jumped my collar.
That's my bird up there.
Our jurisdictions
don't conflict
when it comes
to Raleigh Jordan.
This is espionage.
He's ours.
You get him into custody,
then we'll talk.
Okay.
Belt's tight.
Gotcha.
Now what happens?
Now, I'm gonna hold on tight
to all the systems in this bag
and what you're gonna
hold on tight to is me.
Got it?
Got it.
CHARLIE: Can't you leave
that scanner alone?
Not when I hear you
broadcasting my son's name
all over town.
He and Raleigh Jordan
may be in there.
Who's Raleigh Jordan?
What's Johnny doing
in there with him?
Your son's not
an innocent bystander
in all this, sir.
What are you
talking about?
It's about stolen weapons.
Krueger's men found
an empty weapons
crate in there.
Along with this.
What is that?
It's your son's
hospital ID tag.
RALEIGH: We're getting out.
If we climb down,
we'll be on their laps.
We're not climbing down,
we're gravitating up.
From this height?
John!
You either believe
in the system
or you don't.
Come on now.
Okay.
Okay.
Now,
I suggest
we head that way.
Go into the back.
Charlie, you know Johnny
would never get mixed up
in anything criminal.
I don't wanna believe that,
Frank, but it doesn't
look good for him.
Like father, like son,
is that what you mean?
I've always been
on your side, Frank.
I went to bat for you
when the cops threw you
off the force.
I said those cops framed you
for not playing ball.
Don't put this on me.
So, what about Johnny?
There's not enough
to arrest him.
But even if the feds
weren't here,
I'd have
to follow up on that.
You know that.
You're the one
who trained me.
Hold tight.
You, you hold tight.
Whoa!
JOHNNY: This is working.
This is working.
Whoo!
God, this is frightening.
No, man,
this is cool.
This has gotta be
the most incredible sight
I've ever seen!
Okay, okay, let's not
get too carried away.
I mean, this is all
very experimental,
and the anti-gravity system
can be tricky to control
if you try to get
too fancy, okay
Watch this.
Whoa!
God, I cannot
take this!
Hey!
Uh-oh.
What's that?
Battery's going down.
What does that mean?
It means that
we're going down.
