NightMan (1997–1999): Season 1, Episode 4 - I Left My Heart in San Francisco - full transcript
NARRATOR: Johnny Domino
was one of San Francisco's
hottest young jazz musicians,
but fate and a cosmic event
were about to change
his life forever.
What the doctors told him
seemed impossible.
WALTON: John,
your brain has managed
to acquire the capacity
to pick up certain
frequencies like a radio.
But, Doc,
I'm only hearing bad stuff.
Yes, exactly.
You're tuned
to the frequency of evil.
Who sent you?
Hold it, now.
I'm on your side
RALEIGH: A whole new line
of super tools
developed for super policemen.
A belt which enables him
to overcome gravity.
Fabrics which are virtually
bulletproof.
A stealth mode which makes him
seem to disappear.
A holographic display
which makes him appear
to be where he ain't.
And this is our main
operating room.
There isn't a better,
more modern
plastic surgery center
anywhere in the world.
That's why we can offer patients
a standard of care and privacy
unmatched in a hospital.
Also a bill unmatched
by any hospital.
Thank you, big brother.
Why else would
a private investor pay
for this marvelous celebration
of our grand opening?
Why else indeed?
Why don't we go
and join them?
Excuse me, Doctor.
Could I have a moment?
Of course. Wonderful job
of organizing tonight's
festivities, Mr. Cruz.
Thank you.
Although I'm still
a little surprised
why you won't tell me
which of my patients
decided to be
so generous.
It's the way
he wanted it.
But there is one thing
he asks of you
in return for all this.
Of course, what is it?
I noticed your lovely wife
and daughter
seem to be enjoying
themselves.
Indeed. And I'm eager
to join them.
Actually,
that's what I wanted
to talk to you about.
I'm sure you and your family
are used
to this kind of
situation arising.
"Situation"?
I'm still not quite sure
what you're driving at,
Mr. Cruz.
Doctor, I am giving you
the opportunity
to inaugurate this facility
in a truly meaningful way.
By operating
on your first patient.
When?
Tonight.
You can't be serious.
You have no idea
how serious.
How would you like
that autographed?
That you very much.
We're gonna take
a short break.
I don't understand
why this mystery patient
couldn't come in Monday.
My employer has a limited
window of opportunity
to travel
in this country.
Besides, he expects
special attention
for his $5 million.
What $5 million?
You must recall
that contribution
to your endeavor
by the JEM Foundation?
Well, he is JEM.
It stands for "JE's Money."
Then I'll return it.
This is too bizarre
to be legitimate.
I'm so sorry to hear that.
Thought not nearly as sorry
as your wife and daughter
are going to be.
Excuse me.
Johnny.
This is Annette.
The daughter of the doctor
we're throwing
this party for.
I promised her
an autograph.
Sure.
ANNETTE:
I just love your music.
I'm gonna go down to the club
as soon as I turn 18.
Oh
Five years.
Um...
Now what is this I hear
about your ducking out on me?
Mr. Cruz,
who's paying the bill,
made your performing
a condition
of the catering job.
Listen, I'm just sliding
across the street
to play one number
at Blarney Stone.
They'll never miss me here.
Buddy's gonna play.
Trust me.
Your nephew's good.
But what could possibly
be so important...
I'll explain later.
Listen, you bomb,
and we're both playing
for dimes in the bus station.
Okay
Got it. Got it.
You sure you want to
do this?
Yeah. Wouldn't miss it
for the world.
Besides, you don't think
I put on this monkey suit
to impress the Bates Rangers,
did you?
Do my ears stick out?
Easy.
What are you saying?
This is a dangerous
city, Doctor.
Rape, torture, murder.
Those are just the socially
acceptable deviations.
A terrorist could
come in here with
enough explosives
to blow the whole top
off this building.
If I do cooperate?
Then your family and guests
enjoy the party
while you work.
When you finish,
you all go home,
and we'll be
out of the country,
leaving you
with a $1 million bonus.
I don't want your money.
Oh, but you do want
your family alive.
All right.
Go to phase two.
* For he's a jolly good fellow
* For he's a jolly good fellow
* For he's a jolly good fellow
* Which nobody can deny
Hey, man, Buddy's about
to run out of tunes.
All right. I'm coming.
FRANK: Who did this, huh?
JOHNNY: We gotta go.
Oh, aren't you gonna
have some cake?
Oh, man, I'd love to,
but I can't.
Well, give me a hug.
Happy birthday, Dad.
Thanks, son.
See you, Johnny. Raleigh.
FRANK: Raleigh.
We're ready.
You can go on up.
Where do you two think
you're going?
This building is closed.
I'm working
the gig upstairs.
I'm a musician.
Something major
must have broke.
Yeah.
Now they're gonna fix it
with guns.
What?
Wait here.
Thought you said
you were going upstairs?
Just getting my other sax.
Stay back.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, man.
This is Johnny Domino.
Don't tell me
you've never heard of him.
He's the best.
You can't be too careful.
There's a lot of rich
and very important
people upstairs.
Hold this.
I may not be able to pick up
on the same kind
of head vibes you do,
but you know something?
I don't know if you
should've gone back
for your special case.
How much money and jewelery
do you think there is
at that party upstairs?
You think those guys are here
to rob the place?
I'm not sure.
The first guy I tuned into
was wondering
how many people
he'd have to kill
before the night was over.
Yes, now this is
a perfect match!
Young, strong,
heart like a jackhammer.
Match for what?
Oh, yes. The other
famous Dr. Franklin.
I hope you
and your lovely wife
are enjoying the party.
We were,
as a matter of fact,
until this gentleman...
What's going on, Cameron?
Oh, I guess
I neglected to mention
that this is
a two-part procedure.
Your brother has consented
to giving my boss a new face.
Then you're going
to give him a new heart.
This is insane.
That can't be done.
This OR isn't equipped
for transplant surgery.
We'll see.
That's it.
We can control the whole
building from upstairs.
Have a nice day.
Thank you.
Okay, this is the last song.
Let's make it a good one.
Come with me now.
What are you
talking about?
Let's go.
MAN: Easy.
Please.
But, Buddy, Buddy.
What the hell have you
gotten us into?
Come on, come on.
Let's go. Let's go. Quickly.
What are they doing?
That expansion space
is not scheduled to be built
for a year and a half.
Remember that
million dollar bonus?
It's already spent.
I mean, I'd love to meet
the head honcho,
but what's the hurry?
BUDDY:
Are we in the right place?
Absolutely.
Hey, hey!
That's rented!
Was he there before?
No.
Where have you been?
We don't have
a sax player.
Where's Buddy?
Some guys came in here
and dragged him
down the hall.
JOHNNY:
In the door with the goon?
You wait right here.
How you doing?
We need a word
with Buddy Wright.
The sax player.
He's inside.
Sorry, but no guests
have come this way.
Our mistake.
Thanks.
He's lying.
Well, what are we
gonna do about it?
Why are we walking away?
It's time to take
the high road.
They've got equipment here
I don't even have
at the heart institute.
Now you have some idea
of the trouble
we've gone to.
Has the saxophone player
been prepped?
MAN: Ready and waiting.
Saxophone player?
Well, having selected you
as our surgeon,
we scanned
the computer records
of every health insurance
company in this area
to find you the perfectly
matched donor.
Tonight, the lucky winner
gets the opportunity
to, uh, volunteer.
Hey, hey, look.
If you don't like my playing,
all you had to do
was say so.
Look, I'm just
a saxophone player.
All right?
Wait, wait, wait.
Who are you guys?
Ooh, that's cold.
He's ready.
What are you doing?
You said to prep
the sax player.
That isn't the sax player.
This is the sax player!
This is the wrong man.
MAN 1: We're in luck.
Vargas is sure Domino
never left the building.
MAN 2: Then seal it.
And kill all
outside communication.
MAN 1: Locking up.
Exits sealed.
External communications jammed.
Get Burgos.
Burgos to HQ.
So we won't need
this Buddy anymore.
On the contrary,
until Domino's heart
is in my hands,
Buddy's is a back up.
MAN 1: Without a tissue match,
the heart is gonna be rejected.
Eventually.
But it would last a few days
in an emergency.
Get your people
and find Domino.
Remember. Head shots
or below the waist.
Anyone who damages
Jose's new heart
ends up at the bottom
of the Pacific. Got it?
Sir.
You have a nice evening.
That's five bonus.
What's up, man?
What did you find out?
We need a hell
of a lot of cops.
They've cut out all
outside communications
and sealed the building.
Major bad guys wanna get
their boss a new heart.
And one of the guests
gets to be
an involuntary donor.
Poor bastard.
Thanks for your sympathy.
The donor is you?
JOSE:
What's the hold up, Cruz?
My surgery should have
started ten minutes ago.
A minor problem.
I'll handle.
You're supposed
to avoid stress, okay?
What is going on?
Nothing really.
It's just that for the moment,
we seem to have...
temporarily misplaced
your heart.
The donor left the party.
But he's still in the building.
You know these musicians.
He probably just
stepped out for a smoke.
He's smoking?
With my new heart?
I promise, it'll be
his last cigarette.
And it will be very
hazardous to his health.
And yours!
Hey.
I think I know how I might
be able to get a call out.
The building's fire alarms
will be on dedicated line loop
to Central Fire Dispatch.
I might be able
to get a splice into it
at the building's
operation center.
Which is where?
Usually at the main
security desk for protection.
I might be ale to get
control of the building back.
He's not here.
What do you mean
he's not here?
He gotta be in here
somewhere.
Listen, everyone.
They won't let us go home.
Security said no one
can leave this floor.
Ladies and gentlemen,
we hope you're
enjoying your evening.
No, we're certainly not.
Why are you
holding us here
against our will?
Sir, you must
be mistaken.
No one here is
holding anyone...
No!
We're all prisoners.
Okay, have it your way.
You're all prisoners.
Now, if you do
as you're told,
you'll all be on your
way home in a few hours.
However, anyone
who disobeys me
or my men,
shall be dealt with
quickly and severely.
Hold on!
Oh, God!
What happened?
Armed men.
They took over the party.
Damn it.
Is anybody hurt?
I don't think so,
but they're all terrified.
All right. Let's head up.
They have guns!
We're not going
near the party.
Okay? Come on, let's go.
JOHNNY:
This is gonna have to do.
I'll be back for you both.
I'm scared.
It's okay.
Me too, honey. Me too.
But it's gonna be okay.
Okay?
Jose, the border team
we bribed
to let us slip in and out
of the United States
has given us a narrow
window of opportunity.
You have the start
the plastic surgery now,
even before we find
a new heart,
or else we'll never get
back to Colombia.
You want me
to trust you, huh?
You're still alive
because you never trust anyone.
You're a smart man, cruzito.
I'd hate to deliver you home
in a couple of garbage bags.
You're a very generous
and sensitive man, Jose.
Careful. You put a bullet
in my heart,
and we're both dead.
Hold it!
Check, check.
Anybody there?
I got you, J.
What's up?
I copy.
Domino's on elevator six
heading down.
Trap him.
Blocking out all floors
except his destination.
The basement.
Express elevator
to the basement,
and they know I'm coming.
Yeah. All access
is blocked
and I can't stop it.
Alert the troops.
Can you arrange a blackout?
Blackout. Blackout.
I just passed 15.
Anything?
I don't know
if I can stop it, man.
I hope you got a plan B.
Yeah.
Yes!
Manuel!
MAN OVER RADIO:
Vargas, do you read me?
Vargas, do you read me?
No response.
What about
that power outage?
Well, assuming it wasn't
just a normal brownout,
it could only
have been triggered
from the building's
operation center.
Get some men
to the basement
at the center too.
My man, what's up?
Thanks for the blackout.
I better get out of here
before they trace
this blackout back here.
Now I'm going after Buddy.
All right, we'll,
I'll meet you up there. Later.
Doctors, how long will
the plastic surgeries take?
An hour minimum.
We're running out of time.
Who was the second best
tissue match in this area?
The sax player's father.
Frank Dominus.
Really?
All right. I'll help
with the anesthesia.
Let's get this going.
Take a deep breath.
This will put you
right to sleep.
That's it.
Breathe deep.
Damn it.
He's going into deep shock.
He's arresting.
All right, this is
my ball game.
Bring a de-fib
right over here.
Get this out of the way.
Lubricate.
Give me 260 on this.
Charging.
Ready.
Clear.
DOCTOR: Normal sinus rhythm.
He's back.
Thanks.
That's what
big brothers are for.
He's not gonna make it
much longer with this heart.
Don't worry, Doctor,
his new one's practically lying
on a surgical tray
right now.
BUDDY: Hey!
I can't see anything.
Who is that?
Hey, who's that?
Ooh.
Buddy.
What just
happened in here?
What?
Something just
happened in here, huh?
Come on.
Let me get you up
to the roof.
All right.
Out.
If Burgos doesn't find
Domino's father at home,
we'll have to use
the kid's heart.
Better get him prepped.
I can't.
What?
He's escaped.
What?
The guard was hit so hard,
he's raving about being
attacked by a demon
with one red eye.
What?
If you read me, come in.
Our roof guard missed
his last check in,
and he isn't responding.
Get someone up there.
Jessica, it's me, Raleigh.
I got one more for you.
Buddy!
Get inside.
JOHNNY:
Raleigh, come in. Raleigh.
Night Man.
Where are you?
I just got Buddy up here
on the roof.
Listen, there's
a helicopter up here.
If I can get to it,
I can probably get to a radio
and get a call out
to the police.
Good. But not
till I get there.
You got trouble on the way up.
All right. Gotcha.
Jessica.
Got room for one more?
Who?
Me.
Oh.
This guard's mine.
I'm gonna piss
on this guard.
When I get a hold
of this guy,
I'm gonna turn him
into a soprano.
Okay, we're almost there.
Going down.
I'll tell him.
But he's not gonna like it.
What now?
They never got
to the roof.
Someone sabotaged
the elevator.
It crated with five
of our men on-board.
It's a good thing
Jose's unconscious,
because he would be
executing people right now!
Get someone up to that roof.
If anything happens
to the helicopter,
we're all dead.
You got it
So how did you
screw up now?
I didn't.
This is Johnny Domino's
father, Frank.
Well, welcome
to the party, Frank.
What the hell
is going on here?
Let's just call it a test
of a son's love
for his father.
Ah! Music to my ears.
All right. It's Domino.
We won't shoot him, okay?
We might damage the heart.
I'll take him high,
you take him low.
All right.
Well, that new portable
hologram grid
worked like a champ,
didn't it?
But if we can't make that
radio work, we're in trouble.
They're gonna bomb the plane
they used to cover their escape.
I'll call the cavalry.
Good.
Mayday, mayday.
Can anybody hear me?
Hey, Raleigh, what's up?
Hang tight,
I'm bringing the troops.
Well, get here as fast
as you can, man.
Even two minutes is too late.
Wow.
You're dead meat.
And you're roadkill.
No, don't let me go!
What's Cruz's plan?
Everything's messed up.
He's scrambling.
He's gotta leave soon.
What about the party guests?
They'll be the diversion
to occupy the cops
while we disappear.
What kind of diversion?
Cruz, he's got a briefcase
with a bomb in it.
He won't leave without
a donor for Escobar.
He got one.
We couldn't catch Domino.
Cruz grabbed his father.
He's got Frank?
Where are they?
Frank and the briefcase?
Somebody disabled
the helicopter.
Of course.
The point is, how the hell
are we supposed to get
out of here, Cruz?
The way anyone else would.
Call an ambulance.
Hey. Hey,
what are you doing?
You'll be fine,
if you don't wiggle.
Hey, hey!
Ladies and gentlemen,
as we promised,
we'll be leaving soon.
The police are already
on their way.
We ask that none of you
leave this room
until they arrive,
because we've placed
certain dangerous devices
in the stairwells
to ensure our escape.
Just relax.
It will all be over
very soon.
You know, as the receptacle
for Jose's replacement heart,
you'll be going
to South America with us.
Oh, wow.
Afraid I can't make it.
No passport, no luggage.
No interest in associating
with a scum like you.
Careful, Frank,
or I'll let them
crack your chest
without benefit of anesthetic.
Don't worry.
It's just a little something
to keep our sheep
in their fold.
How long?
Four minutes.
Good.
Plane's fueled
and ready to take off,
just like I promised.
Good. What a night
of clockwork precision.
You've got a doctor
and a new heart right here.
It's not supposed
to be in there,
it's supposed to be
in here, all right?
It will be, it will be.
Don't worry abut it.
Everybody,
I've got good news.
We're out of danger.
If we just...
If we just remain calm.
And, Mrs. Franklin...
I've got a little
present for you.
Mommy!
MAN: Hey, what is it?
We lost the other van.
It's no longer
following us.
Pilot's in hangar eight,
ready and waiting.
So the news isn't all bad.
You know something, Cruz?
You missed your calling.
You should be a Marx Brother.
I like the Marx Brothers.
No, my point is,
they're all dead.
That's a good one.
What the hell is going on
with these guys?
Uh-oh. This is not good.
Let's get him on the plane
real quick. Come on.
Hurry, let's go, man.
It's time to work.
Come on, let's go.
Grab the front.
You get the back.
Let's go.
Take it easy.
The man's an idiot.
You shouldn't have
said that.
I happen to like him.
Cruz, what the hell
is going on?
Why are you doing this?
Let me go.
Come on, put me down.
Put me down.
Let me go. Come on!
Let me...
Hey, you crazy?
You're shooting at me.
Put me down.
It's Judgment Day.
Jose, you're arrested.
Spread out.
Frank, Frank.
Where'd you come from?
The thug they left hanging
from a flagpole
was very talkative.
What happened?
How'd you do all this?
FRANK:
I'm not quite clear. I just...
It just got a little
intense there.
Did anybody run
past you, like...
maybe a guy in a cape?
Get that ambulance over here.
Frank took one to the melon.
You were saying something
about police commendation?
No, I wasn't.
Oh, come on, Charlie.
I just broke up
a major drug cartel.
Practically by myself.
Which isn't so bad
for what was it you call me?
"An old fossil"?
What about the guy in the cape
you were babbling about?
I was groggy.
I'd just taken on four thugs.
I could still take you
to the wood shed.
I got the body
of a 30-year-old.
Yeah? We'll you better
give it back, Frank.
You're getting it all wrinkled.
Thank you.
Thank you, everybody.
I'd like to dedicate
this next song
to a very special
guest of mine.

I put on this monkey suit

Do my ears stick out?

Hey, man, Buddy's about
to run out of tunes.
All right. I'm coming.
FRANK: Who did this, huh?
JOHNNY: We gotta go.
Oh, aren't you gonna
have some cake?
Oh, man, I'd love to,
but I can't.
Well, give me a hug.
Happy birthday, Dad.
Thanks, son.
See you, Johnny. Raleigh.
FRANK: Raleigh.
We're ready.
You can go on up.
Where do you two think
you're going?
This building is closed.
I'm working
the gig upstairs.
I'm a musician.
Something major
must have broke.
Yeah.
Now they're gonna fix it
with guns.
What?
Wait here.
Thought you said
you were going upstairs?
Just getting my other sax.
Stay back.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, man.
This is Johnny Domino.
Don't tell me
you've never heard of him.
He's the best.
You can't be too careful.
There's a lot of rich
and very important
people upstairs.
Hold this.
I may not be able to pick up
on the same kind
of head vibes you do,
but you know something?
I don't know if you
should've gone back
for your special case.
How much money and jewelery
do you think there is
at that party upstairs?
You think those guys are here
to rob the place?
I'm not sure.
The first guy I tuned into
was wondering
how many people
he'd have to kill
before the night was over.
Yes, now this is
a perfect match!
Young, strong,
heart like a jackhammer.
Match for what?
Oh, yes. The other
famous Dr. Franklin.
I hope you
and your lovely wife
are enjoying the party.
We were,
as a matter of fact,
until this gentleman...
What's going on, Cameron?
Oh, I guess
I neglected to mention
that this is
a two-part procedure.
Your brother has consented
to giving my boss a new face.
Then you're going
to give him a new heart.
This is insane.
That can't be done.
This OR isn't equipped
for transplant surgery.
We'll see.
That's it.
We can control the whole
building from upstairs.
Have a nice day.
Thank you.
Okay, this is the last song.
Let's make it a good one.
Come with me now.
What are you
talking about?
Let's go.
MAN: Easy.
Please.
But, Buddy, Buddy.
What the hell have you
gotten us into?
Come on, come on.
Let's go. Let's go. Quickly.
What are they doing?
That expansion space
is not scheduled to be built
for a year and a half.
Remember that
million dollar bonus?
It's already spent.
I mean, I'd love to meet
the head honcho,
but what's the hurry?
BUDDY:
Are we in the right place?
Absolutely.
Hey, hey!
That's rented!
Was he there before?
No.
Where have you been?
We don't have
a sax player.
Where's Buddy?
Some guys came in here
and dragged him
down the hall.
JOHNNY:
In the door with the goon?
You wait right here.
How you doing?
We need a word
with Buddy Wright.
The sax player.
He's inside.
Sorry, but no guests
have come this way.
Our mistake.
Thanks.
He's lying.
Well, what are we
gonna do about it?
Why are we walking away?
It's time to take
the high road.
They've got equipment here
I don't even have
at the heart institute.
Now you have some idea
of the trouble
we've gone to.
Has the saxophone player
been prepped?
MAN: Ready and waiting.
Saxophone player?
Well, having selected you
as our surgeon,
we scanned
the computer records
of every health insurance
company in this area
to find you the perfectly
matched donor.
Tonight, the lucky winner
gets the opportunity
to, uh, volunteer.
Hey, hey, look.
If you don't like my playing,
all you had to do
was say so.
Look, I'm just
a saxophone player.
All right?
Wait, wait, wait.
Who are you guys?
Ooh, that's cold.
He's ready.
What are you doing?
You said to prep
the sax player.
That isn't the sax player.
This is the sax player!
This is the wrong man.
MAN 1: We're in luck.
Vargas is sure Domino
never left the building.
MAN 2: Then seal it.
And kill all
outside communication.
MAN 1: Locking up.
Exits sealed.
External communications jammed.
Get Burgos.
Burgos to HQ.
So we won't need
this Buddy anymore.
On the contrary,
until Domino's heart
is in my hands,
Buddy's is a back up.
MAN 1: Without a tissue match,
the heart is gonna be rejected.
Eventually.
But it would last a few days
in an emergency.
Get your people
and find Domino.
Remember. Head shots
or below the waist.
Anyone who damages
Jose's new heart
ends up at the bottom
of the Pacific. Got it?
Sir.
You have a nice evening.
That's five bonus.
What's up, man?
What did you find out?
We need a hell
of a lot of cops.
They've cut out all
outside communications
and sealed the building.
Major bad guys wanna get
their boss a new heart.
And one of the guests
gets to be
an involuntary donor.
Poor bastard.
Thanks for your sympathy.
The donor is you?
JOSE:
What's the hold up, Cruz?
My surgery should have
started ten minutes ago.
A minor problem.
I'll handle.
You're supposed
to avoid stress, okay?
What is going on?
Nothing really.
It's just that for the moment,
we seem to have...
temporarily misplaced
your heart.
The donor left the party.
But he's still in the building.
You know these musicians.
He probably just
stepped out for a smoke.
He's smoking?
With my new heart?
I promise, it'll be
his last cigarette.
And it will be very
hazardous to his health.
And yours!
Hey.
I think I know how I might
be able to get a call out.
The building's fire alarms
will be on dedicated line loop
to Central Fire Dispatch.
I might be able
to get a splice into it
at the building's
operation center.
Which is where?
Usually at the main
security desk for protection.
I might be ale to get
control of the building back.
He's not here.
What do you mean
he's not here?
He gotta be in here
somewhere.
Listen, everyone.
They won't let us go home.
Security said no one
can leave this floor.
Ladies and gentlemen,
we hope you're
enjoying your evening.
No, we're certainly not.
Why are you
holding us here
against our will?
Sir, you must
be mistaken.
No one here is
holding anyone...
No!
We're all prisoners.
Okay, have it your way.
You're all prisoners.
Now, if you do
as you're told,
you'll all be on your
way home in a few hours.
However, anyone
who disobeys me
or my men,
shall be dealt with
quickly and severely.
Hold on!
Oh, God!
What happened?
Armed men.
They took over the party.
Damn it.
Is anybody hurt?
I don't think so,
but they're all terrified.
All right. Let's head up.
They have guns!
We're not going
near the party.
Okay? Come on, let's go.
JOHNNY:
This is gonna have to do.
I'll be back for you both.
I'm scared.
It's okay.
Me too, honey. Me too.
But it's gonna be okay.
Okay?
Jose, the border team
we bribed
to let us slip in and out
of the United States
has given us a narrow
window of opportunity.
You have the start
the plastic surgery now,
even before we find
a new heart,
or else we'll never get
back to Colombia.
You want me
to trust you, huh?
You're still alive
because you never trust anyone.
You're a smart man, cruzito.
I'd hate to deliver you home
in a couple of garbage bags.
You're a very generous
and sensitive man, Jose.
Careful. You put a bullet
in my heart,
and we're both dead.
Hold it!
Check, check.
Anybody there?
I got you, J.
What's up?
I copy.
Domino's on elevator six
heading down.
Trap him.
Blocking out all floors
except his destination.
The basement.
Express elevator
to the basement,
and they know I'm coming.
Yeah. All access
is blocked
and I can't stop it.
Alert the troops.
Can you arrange a blackout?
Blackout. Blackout.
I just passed 15.
Anything?
I don't know
if I can stop it, man.
I hope you got a plan B.
Yeah.
Yes!
Manuel!
MAN OVER RADIO:
Vargas, do you read me?
Vargas, do you read me?
No response.
What about
that power outage?
Well, assuming it wasn't
just a normal brownout,
it could only
have been triggered
from the building's
operation center.
Get some men
to the basement
at the center too.
My man, what's up?
Thanks for the blackout.
I better get out of here
before they trace
this blackout back here.
Now I'm going after Buddy.
All right, we'll,
I'll meet you up there. Later.
Doctors, how long will
the plastic surgeries take?
An hour minimum.
We're running out of time.
Who was the second best
tissue match in this area?
The sax player's father.
Frank Dominus.
Really?
All right. I'll help
with the anesthesia.
Let's get this going.
Take a deep breath.
This will put you
right to sleep.
That's it.
Breathe deep.
Damn it.
He's going into deep shock.
He's arresting.
All right, this is
my ball game.
Bring a de-fib
right over here.
Get this out of the way.
Lubricate.
Give me 260 on this.
Charging.
Ready.
Clear.
DOCTOR: Normal sinus rhythm.
He's back.
Thanks.
That's what
big brothers are for.
He's not gonna make it
much longer with this heart.
Don't worry, Doctor,
his new one's practically lying
on a surgical tray
right now.
BUDDY: Hey!
I can't see anything.
Who is that?
Hey, who's that?
Ooh.
Buddy.
What just
happened in here?
What?
Something just
happened in here, huh?
Come on.
Let me get you up
to the roof.
All right.
Out.
If Burgos doesn't find
Domino's father at home,
we'll have to use
the kid's heart.
Better get him prepped.
I can't.
What?
He's escaped.
What?
The guard was hit so hard,
he's raving about being
attacked by a demon
with one red eye.
What?
If you read me, come in.
Our roof guard missed
his last check in,
and he isn't responding.
Get someone up there.
Jessica, it's me, Raleigh.
I got one more for you.
Buddy!
Get inside.
JOHNNY:
Raleigh, come in. Raleigh.
Night Man.
Where are you?
I just got Buddy up here
on the roof.
Listen, there's
a helicopter up here.
If I can get to it,
I can probably get to a radio
and get a call out
to the police.
Good. But not
till I get there.
You got trouble on the way up.
All right. Gotcha.
Jessica.
Got room for one more?
Who?
Me.
Oh.
This guard's mine.
I'm gonna piss
on this guard.
When I get a hold
of this guy,
I'm gonna turn him
into a soprano.
Okay, we're almost there.
Going down.
I'll tell him.
But he's not gonna like it.
What now?
They never got
to the roof.
Someone sabotaged
the elevator.
It crated with five
of our men on-board.
It's a good thing
Jose's unconscious,
because he would be
executing people right now!
Get someone up to that roof.
If anything happens
to the helicopter,
we're all dead.
You got it
So how did you
screw up now?
I didn't.
This is Johnny Domino's
father, Frank.
Well, welcome
to the party, Frank.
What the hell
is going on here?
Let's just call it a test
of a son's love
for his father.
Ah! Music to my ears.
All right. It's Domino.
We won't shoot him, okay?
We might damage the heart.
I'll take him high,
you take him low.
All right.
Well, that new portable
hologram grid
worked like a champ,
didn't it?
But if we can't make that
radio work, we're in trouble.
They're gonna bomb the plane
they used to cover their escape.
I'll call the cavalry.
Good.
Mayday, mayday.
Can anybody hear me?
Hey, Raleigh, what's up?
Hang tight,
I'm bringing the troops.
Well, get here as fast
as you can, man.
Even two minutes is too late.
Wow.
You're dead meat.
And you're roadkill.
No, don't let me go!
What's Cruz's plan?
Everything's messed up.
He's scrambling.
He's gotta leave soon.
What about the party guests?
They'll be the diversion
to occupy the cops
while we disappear.
What kind of diversion?
Cruz, he's got a briefcase
with a bomb in it.
He won't leave without
a donor for Escobar.
He got one.
We couldn't catch Domino.
Cruz grabbed his father.
He's got Frank?
Where are they?
Frank and the briefcase?
Somebody disabled
the helicopter.
Of course.
The point is, how the hell
are we supposed to get
out of here, Cruz?
The way anyone else would.
Call an ambulance.
Hey. Hey,
what are you doing?
You'll be fine,
if you don't wiggle.
Hey, hey!
Ladies and gentlemen,
as we promised,
we'll be leaving soon.
The police are already
on their way.
We ask that none of you
leave this room
until they arrive,
because we've placed
certain dangerous devices
in the stairwells
to ensure our escape.
Just relax.
It will all be over
very soon.
You know, as the receptacle
for Jose's replacement heart,
you'll be going
to South America with us.
Oh, wow.
Afraid I can't make it.
No passport, no luggage.
No interest in associating
with a scum like you.
Careful, Frank,
or I'll let them
crack your chest
without benefit of anesthetic.
Don't worry.
It's just a little something
to keep our sheep
in their fold.
How long?
Four minutes.
Good.
Plane's fueled
and ready to take off,
just like I promised.
Good. What a night
of clockwork precision.
You've got a doctor
and a new heart right here.
It's not supposed
to be in there,
it's supposed to be
in here, all right?
It will be, it will be.
Don't worry abut it.
Everybody,
I've got good news.
We're out of danger.
If we just...
If we just remain calm.
And, Mrs. Franklin...
I've got a little
present for you.
Mommy!
MAN: Hey, what is it?
We lost the other van.
It's no longer
following us.
Pilot's in hangar eight,
ready and waiting.
So the news isn't all bad.
You know something, Cruz?
You missed your calling.
You should be a Marx Brother.
I like the Marx Brothers.
No, my point is,
they're all dead.
That's a good one.
What the hell is going on
with these guys?
Uh-oh. This is not good.
Let's get him on the plane
real quick. Come on.
Hurry, let's go, man.
It's time to work.
Come on, let's go.
Grab the front.
You get the back.
Let's go.
Take it easy.
The man's an idiot.
You shouldn't have
said that.
I happen to like him.
Cruz, what the hell
is going on?
Why are you doing this?
Let me go.
Come on, put me down.
Put me down.
Let me go. Come on!
Let me...
Hey, you crazy?
You're shooting at me.
Put me down.
It's Judgment Day.
Jose, you're arrested.
Spread out.
Frank, Frank.
Where'd you come from?
The thug they left hanging
from a flagpole
was very talkative.
What happened?
How'd you do all this?
FRANK:
I'm not quite clear. I just...
It just got a little
intense there.
Did anybody run
past you, like...
maybe a guy in a cape?
Get that ambulance over here.
Frank took one to the melon.
You were saying something
about police commendation?
No, I wasn't.
Oh, come on, Charlie.
I just broke up
a major drug cartel.
Practically by myself.
Which isn't so bad
for what was it you call me?
"An old fossil"?
What about the guy in the cape
you were babbling about?
I was groggy.
I'd just taken on four thugs.
I could still take you
to the wood shed.
I got the body
of a 30-year-old.
Yeah? We'll you better
give it back, Frank.
You're getting it all wrinkled.
Thank you.
Thank you, everybody.
I'd like to dedicate
this next song
to a very special
guest of mine.
