Man:
ANOTHER, MAJOR?
MAKE IT A DOUBLE, WILL YOU?
COMING
RIGHT UP.
WHEN'S THE BASE
CLOSING?
FRIDAY'S D-DAY.
GUESS IT'S PRETTY
MUCH EMPTIED OUT
BY NOW, THEN, HUH?
JUST ABOUT.
WHAT ARE YOU,
A REPORTER
OR SOMETHING?
NO, NO, JUST CURIOUS,
THAT'S ALL.
THERE HE IS.
( gunshots )
HE WAS A COP
AND GOOD AT HIS JOB
BUT HE COMMITTED
THE ULTIMATE SIN
AND TESTIFIED AGAINST
OTHER COPS GONE BAD--
COPS THAT TRIED TO KILL HIM
BUT GOT THE WOMAN
HE LOVED INSTEAD.
FRAMED FOR MURDER,
NOW HE PROWLS THE BADLANDS
AN OUTLAW HUNTING OUTLAWS
A BOUNTY HUNTER
A RENEGADE.
THAT'S NICE.
THAT'S NOT BAD.
OH, SO WHICH
ONE OF THESE
DO YOU LIKE?
FOR WHAT? A DART BOARD?
I'M PUTTING AN AD
IN BUSINESSWEEK.
WHAT DOES THIS ONE TELL YOU?
KIDDIE-SHOW HOST.
HOW ABOUT THIS ONE?
HIT MAN.
HIT MAN.
WHAT ABOUT THESE TWO?
I DON'T KNOW, MAN.
FRITO BANDITO.
YOU GREATLY
UNDERESTIMATE
THE POWER OF
ADVERTISING,
MY FRIEND.
YOU KNOW THAT?
DO YOU ALSO KNOW MOST BUSINESSES
FAIL IN THEIR FIRST YEAR
BECAUSE THEIR MARKETING BUDGETS
ARE RUEFULLY INADEQUATE?
I'M HUNGRY.
THIS IS IMPORTANT.
EXCUSE ME.
IS THIS SIXKILLER ENTERPRISES?
YES, BOBBY
SIXKILLER
AT YOUR SERVICE--
YOU ARE...?
A POTENTIAL CLIENT.
HOW DID YOU FIND US, SIR?
YOUR AD IN THE TRIBUNE.
IT SURE DOES PAY TO ADVERTISE,
DOESN'T IT?
PLEASE,
SIT DOWN.
HOW CAN I HELP YOU?
MR. SIXKILLER
I'M WILLING
TO OFFER YOU
A $10,000 REWARD
IF YOU CAN FIND
SOMETHING FOR ME.
REALLY?
AND EXACTLY
WHAT
WOULD YOU LIKE US TO FIND?
THIS.
( clears throat )
U.F.O.
WELL, IT CERTAINLY PAYS
TO ADVERTISE.
VINCE BLACK.
PETER FLOOD.
Bobby:
YOU KNOW, MR. FLOOD,
I, UH...
WOULD LOVE TO TACKLE
THIS INTRIGUING ASSIGNMENT...
YOU THINK I'M A CRACKPOT,
BUT HEAR ME OUT.
THREE YEARS AGO
I WAS STATIONED AT
TRAVIS AIR FORCE BASE.
WE GOT A CALL ONE NIGHT
FROM SOME FARMER.
SAYS A U.F.O. HAS CRASHED
ON HIS PROPERTY.
C.O. SENDS ME OUT
TO TAKE AWAY THE GLUE
THE GUY'S BEEN SNIFFING.
HAVE A LOOK AT THIS.
THIS IS
THE CRASH SITE.
THE AIR FORCE WORKS
WITH MANY TOP SECRET
EXPERIMENTAL AIRCRAFT.
I HAD TOP SECURITY CLEARANCE.
WE DIDN'T HAVE ANYTHING
IN THE SKY THAT NIGHT.
WHAT DID YOUR C.O. DO WHEN
YOU SHOWED HIM THE PICTURES?
GENERAL BIRD SAID
HE'D CHECK RIGHT
INTO IT.
HE WAS FREAKED.
HE WAS SURE
WHATEVER IT WAS
DIDN'T BELONG
TO US.
THE NEXT DAY, THAT FIELD WAS
CRAWLING WITH FEDS AND M.P.s.
THE OFFICIAL
REPORT SAID
IT WAS A, UH...
A WEATHER BALLOON.
DID THE GENERAL BUY
THE WHITEWASH?
HE WAS THE ONE WHO SIGNED IT.
THAT NIGHT,
MY HOUSE WAS
BROKEN INTO.
THE ONLY THING
TAKEN WAS
THE NEGATIVES TO THOSE PICTURES.
REAL TROUBLE STARTED
WHEN I WOULDN'T STOP
ASKING
QUESTIONS.
THEY FALSIFIED MY RESEARCH
THEY MADE ME LOOK
LIKE A TOTAL SCREW-UP.
THEY RUINED MY LIFE.
WHO EXACTLY IS "THEY"?
"THEY" MEANING THE AIR FORCE,
F.B.I., PENTAGON.
I DON'T KNOW
ABOUT THAT.
BUT I DO KNOW
THAT THE REMAINS OF THAT CRASH
WERE TRANSFERRED
TO CALVERT AIR FORCE BASE
IN A FREIGHT CONTAINER.
HOLD ON, CALVERT'S BEEN
CLOSED FOR A MONTH.
THAT'S RIGHT.
IT'S SET FOR DEMOLITION
THE END OF THE WEEK.
SO THEY'LL MOVE
THAT CONTAINER ANY DAY.
OR THEY'LL BLOW IT UP
AND IT WILL BE GONE FOREVER.
LOOK, GENTLEMEN,
THE ONLY WAY
I CAN PROVE TO THE WORLD
THAT I'M NOT CRAZY
IS GETTING MY HANDS
ON THAT EVIDENCE.
SO?
ARE WE IN BUSINESS?
HOW CAN YOU TAKE
HIM SERIOUSLY?
THAT'S EXACTLY
WHAT YOU SAID
ABOUT D.B. COOPER
AND WE FOUND HIM!
D.B. COOPER IS NOT
A MAN FROM MARS.
FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS
INDIAN HIEROGLYPHICS
HAVE BEEN TELLING US
ABOUT VISITORS
FROM THE SKY.
MODERN ENGINEERS
ARE STUDYING
AZTEC RUINS
AND DO YOU KNOW
WHAT THEY FOUND?
NO, BUT I KNOW
YOU'LL TELL ME.
THE TECHNOLOGY
TO BUILD THOSE SUCKERS
WEREN'T EVEN
INVENTED BACK THEN.
MEANING WHAT?
MEANING MAYBE WE HAD
A LITTLE HELP
FROM UP THERE.
I DON'T THINK
PETE FLOOD
HAD A CLOSE
ENCOUNTER.
WHAT IF HE DID
AND THE EVIDENCE
IS THERE?
WHAT IF HE'S A LOON?
WE CAN'T LET HIM
SPEND HIS LIFE
SAVINGS
ON A WILD GOOSE CHASE.
I'LL DO A BACKGROUND
CHECK ON HIM
WHILE YOU GO
TO CALVERT
AND CHECK
THE PLACE OUT.
IF ANYTHING'S NOT KOSHER
WE'RE OUT
OF THERE-- HONEST.
AND WE GIVE
HIS MONEY BACK?
OF COURSE!
MINUS MY EXPENSES.
ALL RIGHT,
WE'LL GIVE HIM
ALL HIS MONEY BACK.
MEET YOU THERE.
WE GOT TO TALK,
MS. BATISTA.
JIM, WE'VE ALREADY
BEEN THROUGH THIS.
I CAN'T HIRE YOUR FRIEND.
BECAUSE YOU
ONLY HIRE
YOUR WETBACK
COUSINS?
THEN HOW COME JIM HERE
IS ON MY
PAYROLL?
LITTLE MISS FOREMAN.
YOU THINK YOU'RE
TOUGH, DON'T YOU?
LEAVE THE LADY ALONE.
GO TO HELL.
YOU OKAY?
YEAH.
YOU'RE FIRED,
JIM.
SHOW UP
ANYWHERE NEAR
THE JOB SITE
AND I'M CALLING
THE POLICE.
I GUESS I'M NOT
USED TO PLAYING
DAMSEL IN DISTRESS.
I'M SURE YOU'D HAVE
HANDLED YOURSELF.
ANGELA BATISTA.
HI, VINCE BLACK.
OH, JOHNSON
DEMOLITION.
THAT'S THE CREW
THAT'S DISMANTLING
THE AIR FORCE BASE.
YEAH, I'M THE JOB
SUPERINTENDENT.
I'M IMPRESSED.
WHAT ABOUT YOU?
WHAT'S YOUR STORY?
I'M LOOKING FOR WORK.
I JUST FIRED SOMEONE.
UH, MAYBE IT'S
YOUR LUCKY DAY.
I'D SAY IT ALREADY IS.
Bobby:
EVERYTHING ABOUT FLOOD
IS CHECKING OUT.
Reno ( over phone ):
How thorough was the check?
WELL, ACCORDING TO
THE GOVERNMENT'S OWN RECORDS
MAJOR PETER FLOOD WAS STATIONED
AT TRAVIS AIR FORCE BASE
FROM MAY '89 TO SEPTEMBER '93
WHEN HE WAS HONORABLY
DISCHARGED.
WAS THERE ANY REPORT
OF THE CRASH?
OFFICIALLY EXPLAINED
AS A WEATHER BALLOON.
JUST LIKE HE TOLD US.
BUT LISTEN TO THIS.
DO YOU REMEMBER
GENERAL HOWARD BIRD
the guy Flood said was
part of the cover-up?
WELL, HE IS NOW THE COMMANDING
OFFICER AT CALVERT.
SO HE TRANSFERRED,
SO WHAT?
BUT WHY CALVERT?
CAN YOU ANSWER ME THAT?
And why did the farmer who owned
the field the U.F.O. crashed in
move out of the country?
AND WHY DID THE AGENT WHO HEADED
UP THE INVESTIGATION
WIND UP DEAD IN A CAR CRASH?
IT SOUNDS LIKE
A COVER-UP TO ME, PAL.
ANY INFORMATION
ON THAT MYSTERY CONTAINER?
No, I'm still working on it.
THERE'S NO EASY WAY TO ACCESS
MILITARY STORAGE RECORDS
BUT IT DOES CHECK OUT
THAT THEY HAVE THE STUFF
TRANSFERRED FROM TRAVIS.
CALVERT AIR FORCE BASE IS
THE SIZE OF A SMALL CITY.
FLOOD'S GOT TO GIVE US SOMETHING
MORE CONCRETE TO GO ON.
He's got a hunch it's
in building 15-- start there.
Yeah, well, I've got
to get back to work.
WELL, HANG TIGHT.
I'LL GET BACK TO YOU
AS SOON AS I TALK TO HIM-- BYE.
( jackhammers pounding )
WHERE THE HELL DO YOU
THINK YOU'RE GOING?
I THOUGHT THE
BUILDING WAS EMPTY.
YOU'RE TRESPASSING.
NO, I'M NOT, I'M WORKING HERE.
I'VE NEVER SEEN YOU BEFORE.
I SAW SOMEONE HEAD INSIDE.
I DON'T WANT
ANYONE GETTING HURT.
WHAT'S YOUR NAME?
WHAT'S GOING
ON HERE?
I WANT HIM OFF THE BASE,
THAT'S WHAT.
LOOK, I DON'T TELL YOU
HOW TO RUN THE AIR FORCE.
DON'T TELL ME
HOW TO RUN MY CREW.
I'M MAKING A FULL REPORT.
I'M SHAKING IN MY BOOTS.
YOU'RE IN A LOT OF TROUBLE.
I DON'T KNOW.
I MAY NOT BE AN EXPERT
IN PUBLIC RELATIONS
BUT MAKING HIM MAD MIGHT
NOT BE THE BEST IDEA.
YEAH, HE'LL GET
OVER IT, TRUST ME.
HOW SO?
HE'S MY BROTHER.
SMALL WORLD!
YEAH, TOO SMALL.
HE TRIED TO KEEP ME
FROM GETTING THIS JOB.
MICHAEL IS HEAD OF
THE B.R.A.C. COMMITTEE.
IT'S THE BASE REALIGNMENT
AND CLOSING COMMITTEE.
HE WAS AFRAID
IF I GOT HIRED
AS FOREPERSON
ON THE JOB
THAT IT WOULD LOOK
LIKE FAVORITISM
AND CONFLICT
OF INTEREST.
WELL, WHAT DIFFERENCE
DOES THAT MAKE
AS LONG AS YOU GET
THE WORK DONE?
THAT'S WHAT
MY BOSS SAID.
BUT MICHAEL THINKS
THAT I'M TAKING A JOB
AWAY FROM A MAN.
THAT'S A PRETTY
PREHISTORIC ATTITUDE.
TELL ME ABOUT IT.
YOU MUST BE
THE LEGENDARY
BOBBY SIXKILLER.
IN THE FLESH.
AND YOU ARE?
HOWARD BIRD.
AS IN GENERAL HOWARD BIRD?
YES.
NOT ON GOLFING DAYS.
THIS IS STRICTLY UNOFFICIAL.
WELL, HOW CAN I
UNOFFICIALLY HELP YOU?
A FELLOW BY THE NAME
OF PETE FLOOD
COME BY HERE TO SEE YOU?
ALL THE NAMES OF MY CLIENTS
ARE CONFIDENTIAL, SIR.
WELL, AFTER 32 YEARS
IN THE MILITARY
ALL I KNOW IS
FIRE STRAIGHT AHEAD.
I APOLOGIZE.
I'M NOT ASKING YOU TO
COMPROMISE YOUR INTEGRITY.
APOLOGY ACCEPTED.
HOW CAN I HELP YOU?
FLOOD IS A SUSPECT
IN THE BREAK-IN OF MY BASE.
WE HAVEN'T CHARGED HIM YET
BUT WE'RE PRETTY SURE
HE'S THE GUY.
MR. SIXKILLER,
I'M GOING
TO GIVE IT TO YOU STRAIGHT.
I KNOW HE WAS HERE.
AND I'M WITHHOLDING
CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.
WELL, I'M NOT HERE
TO HARASS YOU.
I NEED YOU AS AN ALLY
NOT AN ENEMY.
FLOOD WORKED
FOR ME
FOR MORE THAN TEN YEARS.
HE WAS A GOOD SOLDIER,
STAND-UP GUY.
THEN ONE DAY HE SNAPPED.
CONCOCTED THIS
CRAZY STORY
ABOUT A FLYING SAUCER
THAT LANDED OUTSIDE A BASE.
THERE WAS A REPORTED CRASH
OUTSIDE TRAVIS.
HE'S GOT YOU CONVINCED
IT WASN'T A WEATHER BALLOON.
HE'S GOT
ME CONVINCED
THAT IT WASN'T EXPERIMENTAL
BECAUSE HE HAD TOP SECURITY
CLEARANCE AT THAT TIME.
OH, NO.
HIS TOP SECRET STATUS
WAS SUSPENDED.
WHAT FOR?
WELL, WE HAD AN ESPIONAGE SCARE.
WE SUSPENDED A DOZEN CLEARANCES
JUST TO MAKE
THE FOLKS BACK
IN D.C. HAPPY.
BUT FLOOD TOOK IT HARD.
NEVER THE SAME AFTER THAT.
THE AIR FORCE DID EVERYTHING
THEY COULD FOR HIM.
I MADE SURE OF THAT.
AND THEN YOU HAD HIM DISCHARGED.
I HAD TO.
THE SHRINKS HAD HIM DIAGNOSED
AS PARANOID DELUSIONAL.
HE COULDN'T
DO HIS JOB.
I'LL BET HE NEVER TOLD YOU
ABOUT THAT,
DID HE?
WELL...
THAT'S ALL
IN THE PAST.
ALL I'M WORRIED
ABOUT NOW IS
THAT HE'S GOING TO
GET HIMSELF HURT
OR HE'S GOING
TO SUCKER
SOME WELL-MEANING
CIVILIAN LIKE YOURSELF.
YES, WELL, I WILL TAKE
ALL THIS INFORMATION
INTO CONSIDERATION.
THANKS FOR YOUR TIME,
MR. SIXKILLER.
THANK YOU.
WHERE ARE YOU GOING?
IT'S QUITTING TIME.
YOU DIDN'T FINISH PULLING WIRE
IN THE BASEMENT.
YOU ARE NOT HIS BOSS, MIGUEL.
NO, I'M
YOUR BOSS.
THE GENERAL WANTS
THAT BUILDING CLEAN OF SALVAGE.
HIS SHIFT IS OVER AT 4:00.
IT'S ALL RIGHT, I'LL DO IT.
Angela:
WHEN ARE YOU
GOING TO STOP
TELLING ME HOW TO DO MY JOB?
WHEN YOU LEARN TO DO IT RIGHT.
THIS IS THE
BIGGEST JOB
I'VE EVER
BEEN ASSIGNED
AND YOU ARE
DELIBERATELY TRYING
TO MAKE ME LOOK BAD
IN FRONT OF MY CREW.
I DON'T HAVE TO.
YOU'RE DOING A FINE JOB
ALL BY YOURSELF.
LOOK, I'M SORRY, ANGELA.
I DIDN'T MEAN THAT, OKAY?
DON'T SPEAK TO ME.
( alarm ringing )
Man ( yelling ):
MAN DOWN, MAN DOWN!
VINCE! VINCE!
VINCE!
( coughing )
VINCE!
WHERE ARE YOU, VINCE?
OH, MY...!
COME ON, LET'S GO,
LET'S GO.
LET'S GET HIM
OUT OF HERE.
Bobby:
WHO TURNED YOUR HEAD, RENO?
I THINK PETE FLOOD
IS TELLING THE TRUTH.
Right.
I MEAN IT.
HAVE YOU BEEN BRAINWASHED?
No, but I was almost
charbroiled.
SOMEBODY WANTS ME
OUT OF THE WAY REAL BAD.
Listen, General Howard Bird
paid me a visit;
gave me the whole lowdown
on Flood.
THIS U.F.O. STORY COULD BE
TO GET BACK AT THE AIR FORCE
FOR REVOKING HIS CLEARANCE
AND DISCHARGING HIM.
Do you know that
he's wanted for questioning
BECAUSE HE TRIED TO
BREAK ONTO THE CALVERT BASE?
WHAT DO YOU EXPECT
THE AIR FORCE BRASS TO TELL YOU?
YOU'RE SOUNDING
AS PARANOID AS HE IS.
HAVE YOU GOT
THE BUILDING PLANS YET?
NO!
WHY THE WAIT?
FLOOD HASN'T EVEN SHOWED UP.
( dial tone )
THAT BOY HAS GOT NO MANNERS.
Bobby:
SO WHERE THE HELL
HAVE YOU BEEN?
Pete:
I'VE GOT TO BE
VERY CAREFUL.
LOOK, I'LL HAVE THE PLANS
IN THE MORNING.
Pete:
SO YOU'VE SPOKEN WITH
GENERAL BIRD, HUH?
YEAH, AND HE STARTED POKING
HOLES IN YOUR STORY, PAL.
WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME
THAT YOUR TOP SECRET
CLEARANCE WAS REVOKED
THE NIGHT YOU SAW
WHATEVER YOU THINK YOU SAW?
I WAS SUSPENDED
ON PAPER.
IT DIDN'T MEAN ANYTHING
IN A PRACTICAL SENSE.
THE NIGHT OF THE CRASH,
IT WAS BUSINESS AS USUAL.
HE SAID YOU TRIED TO BREAK
INTO A MILITARY FACILITY.
MM-HMM, DID HE HAVE
A WARRANT FOR MY ARREST?
OH, YOU GOT ANSWERS
FOR EVERYTHING.
YEAH, MY DAD USED TO TELL ME,
WHEN YOU STICK TO THE TRUTH
YOU DON'T HAVE TO REMEMBER
WHAT YOU SAID.
WELL, LET ME
TELL YOU
WHAT I'M ABOUT TO SAY, PAL.
YOU CUT THE CRAP.
NOW, YOU TELL ME EVERYTHING.
WHY ARE YOU GOING AFTER
THE AIR FORCE?
YOU KNOW, ONCE UPON A TIME,
I WAS A HAPPILY MARRIED MAN.
SHE WAS MY FIRST LOVE...
MY ONLY LOVE.
WE DIDN'T HAVE A LOT
BUT WE HAD EACH OTHER.
WE WERE TOGETHER,
AND THAT'S ALL THAT COUNTED.
BUT AFTER
THE INVESTIGATION
THE QUESTIONS,
THE SHAME
IT WAS ALL TOO MUCH
FOR MY WIFE TO TAKE.
NANCY LEFT ME ABOUT A MONTH
AFTER I WAS DISCHARGED.
YOU KNOW,
YOU'D THINK
AFTER THREE YEARS
I COULD LET IT GO, RIGHT?
TROUBLE IS,
I CAN'T LET GO OF NANCY.
I UNDERSTAND.
SO YOU SEE, MR. SIXKILLER
I REALLY DON'T CARE
IF THE WHOLE WORLD BELIEVES ME.
I ONLY CARE
THAT NANCY BELIEVES ME.
( motorcycle approaching )
RELAXING AFTER
A HARD DAY'S WORK?
VINCE, I WAS WORRIED ABOUT YOU.
HOW ARE YOU FEELING?
I'M FINE.
I JUST WANTED
TO STOP BY
AND PERSONALLY THANK YOU FOR
PULLING ME OUT WHEN YOU DID.
MICHAEL FEELS
TERRIBLE ABOUT IT.
I WAS WORKING
THAT BUILDING ALL DAY.
HOW COULD THE POWER
SUDDENLY TURN ITSELF ON?
THERE MUST BE A LIVE
BREAKER SOMEWHERE.
I THOUGHT I WOULD
GET THROUGH THIS JOB
WITHOUT ANY ACCIDENTS.
DON'T YOU THINK IT'S DANGEROUS
TO HAVE PEOPLE WORKING
INSIDE OF BUILDING 15?
NO ONE IS WORKING 15.
I SAW SOMEONE GO IN THERE.
MUST BE AN M.P.
SNEAKING A SMOKE.
DOES THAT
SOFTAIL RIDE
AS GOOD AS SHE LOOKS?
WHY DON'T YOU PUT DOWN
YOUR BASKET OF FLOWERS
AND FIND OUT
FOR YOURSELF?
EXCUSE ME...
ARE YOU NANCY FLOOD?
YEAH, WHO WANTS TO KNOW?
BOBBY SIXKILLER.
I'D LIKE TO DISCUSS
YOUR EX-HUSBAND.
DON'T YOU PEOPLE
EVER GIVE UP?
SECOND THOUGHT,
YOU ARE NOT MILITARY.
THANK YOU.
YOU SEE, MRS. FLOOD,
I'M A LICENSED BOUNTY HUNTER.
SO WHAT, NOW THERE'S
A PRICE ON HIS HEAD?
WELL, NOT THAT I KNOW OF.
YOUR HUSBAND HIRED ME
TO HELP HIM.
I'M HOPING
YOU CAN HELP ME
SORT THROUGH THIS.
PETER DIDN'T
TELL YOU ABOUT
THE RESTRAINING ORDER?
I KNOW BOTH OF YOU DID NOT LEAVE
ON THE BEST OF TERMS.
LOOK, MY EX-HUSBAND IS
A DEEPLY TROUBLED MAN.
SO, IF YOU'LL EXCUSE ME?
WAIT A MINUTE.
WHAT IF HE COMES UP WITH
INFORMATION TO CLEAR HIS STORY?
LOOK, I DON'T WANT
TO KNOW, OKAY?
WHY NOT?
PETER AND I HAD A SON.
JOEY WAS THREE
WHEN HIS DAD FIRST STARTED
HAVING THESE FLIGHTS OF FANCY.
SO I BAWLED
HIM OUT
FOR IGNORING
HIS SON
SO HE TOOK JOEY TO A BALL GAME.
AND, UH...
IT STARTED TO RAIN
ON HIS WAY BACK FROM THE GAME.
WE LIVED UP IN THE MOUNTAINS.
I, UH, GUESS
THE STREET
WAS WET
BECAUSE HE LOST
CONTROL OF THE CAR.
PETER SURVIVED THE ACCIDENT.
JOEY DIDN'T.
I'M SORRY.
PETER WAS NEVER
THE SAME AFTER THAT.
NEITHER WAS OUR MARRIAGE.
NOW, I REALLY
HAVE TO GO.
( car starts )
HEY, YOU GOT
A THREE-QUARTER
OPEN END?
COOL.
VINCE BLACK'S
STILL ASKING
A LOT OF QUESTIONS
ABOUT BUILDING 15.
HE SAW THE CREW
ON THE ROOF.
MM-HMM.
THE BUREAU'S ATTEMPT
TO DISENGAGE MR. BLACK
DID NOT SUCCEED.
DID NOT SUCCEED?!
YOU ALMOST BURNED DOWN
THE BUILDING!
BE THAT AS
IT MAY, HOWARD
MR. BLACK STILL NEEDS
TO BE TERMINATED.
I HAD THE PEROXIDE
WHO ANSWERS MY PHONE
DO A BACKGROUND CHECK.
VINCE BLACK
IS A BOUNTY HUNTER--
WORKS FOR SIXKILLER
ENTERPRISES.
YOU JUST LET HIM BE.
HE'LL LEAD US RIGHT
TO PETE FLOOD.
Angela:
100, 100, GIVE ME
ANOTHER 100, BABY!
COME ON, COME ON,
COME ON, YES!
OKAY, ALL RIGHT.
NO! NO!
YES, YES, YES!
COME ON, ONE MORE
TIME, ONE MORE...
( screaming )
YES! YES!
250,000, YES!
OH, YES, BABY,
YES, WHOO-OO!
I BETTER QUIT
WHILE I'M AHEAD.
SEE YOU LATER.
SO, IS THIS SEAT TAKEN?
I HOPE SO.
UM...
SAUVIGNON BLANC,
PLEASE.
I'LL JUST
HAVE A BEER.
I THOUGHT YOU
DRANK BEER.
YEAH, WELL,
DON'T TELL ANYBODY.
THIS SISSY
WINE STUFF
COULD BE BAD
FOR MY IMAGE.
YOU HAVE A PRETTY
UNUSUAL IMAGE.
HOW'S THAT?
WELL, YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL...
YOU'RE FEMININE AND, UH...
YOU BLOW THINGS UP FOR A LIVING.
THAT'S A PRETTY
INTERESTING COMBINATION.
IF YOU WANT TO KNOW MORE
COME OVER FOR DINNER
TOMORROW NIGHT.
YOU COOK, TOO?
SOME SAY.
WELL, AT LEAST I KNOW
WHAT KIND OF WINE TO BRING.
8:00?
I'LL BE THERE.
DO YOU KNOW
THAT GUY?
I MIGHT HAVE
SEEN HIM AROUND.
THAT'S THE FELLOW I SAW
SNEAK INTO BUILDING 15.
HE'S PROBABLY COUNTING
THE PAPER CLIPS WE LEFT BEHIND.
YOU KNOW, I HEARD THERE WAS
A BREAK-IN AT THE BASE.
YOU HEAR WAY
TOO MUCH, BOY.
WHY DON'T YOU
HAVE A SEAT?
I'M THE OFFICER
IN CHARGE
OF BASE REALIGNMENT
AND CLOSING--
NOT HER.
YOU GOT
A PROBLEM
YOU TALK TO ME.
MIGUEL, PLEASE DON'T DO THIS.
YOU'RE BOTHERING
MY SISTER.
GET LOST.
MIGUEL!
AREN'T YOU BEING
OVERPROTECTIVE?
OH, REALLY?
I'LL SEE
YOU TOMORROW.
HEY, WHAT THE HELL'S
GOING ON HERE?
FREEZE!
I MADE SOME COFFEE,
I HOPE YOU DON'T MIND.
WHAT'S GOING ON?
WHERE'S PETER FLOOD?
I DON'T KNOW.
OKAY, ALL RIGHT,
HERE'S WHAT HAPPENED...
ARE YOU GUYS I.R.S.?
I PAID MY TAXES, PAL.
I DON'T CLAIM
ANY DEPENDENTS ANYMORE.
LET'S TRY THAT AGAIN.
I WAS SUPPOSED TO MEET
FLOOD IN THE MORNING.
HE DIDN'T SHOW UP.
I EVEN TALKED
TO HIS EX-WIFE
AND SHE DIDN'T
KNOW NOTHING.
THAT'S ALL I KNOW.
HE'S ON THE LEVEL.
CALL US WHEN HE SHOWS.
YOU DON'T LOOK SO GOOD.
ONE OF YOUR
COLLECTION AGENCIES
PAID ME A VISIT.
I DON'T OWE
ANYONE ANY MONEY.
I KNOW.
THE CAR HAD
GOVERNMENT PLATES, PETE.
IF YOU WANT TO QUIT,
I'LL UNDERSTAND.
YOU KNOW,
WHEN GENERAL BIRD
STARTED POKING HOLES
IN YOUR STORY
I WASN'T
TOO SURE ABOUT YOU.
ESPECIALLY
AFTER TALKING
TO YOUR WIFE--
I KNEW I WASN'T
TOO SURE ABOUT YOU.
BUT WHEN THE FEDS
STARTED THRASHING MY OFFICE
I KNEW YOU WERE RIGHT
ABOUT ONE THING--
THAT THEY'RE HIDING SOMETHING
AND I WANT TO KNOW
WHAT THAT SOMETHING IS.
LET'S GET BUSY.
( steam hissing )
Man:
THERE'S A GAS LEAK!
GAS LEAK!
GAS LEAK!
EVERYBODY
OUT OF HERE!
IT'S GOING TO BLOW!
LET'S GO, GET
OUT OF HERE NOW!
EVERYBODY OUT
RIGHT NOW!
IT'S A BROKEN GAS LINE.
MOVE!
EVERYBODY OUT NOW!
WHERE IS EVERYONE GOING?
THERE'S
A GAS LEAK.
THAT'S CRAZY,
THE GAS IS OFF.
THEN IT'S COMING
FROM SOMEWHERE ELSE.
EVERYONE BACK IN HERE!
ON THE DOUBLE!
YOU STILL
THINK I'M CRAZY?
ARE YOU OKAY?
TWO ACCIDENTS
IN TWO DAYS.
I'M BEGINNING
TO THINK
THIS PROJECT'S JINXED.
DON'T YOU KNOW NOT TO BRING
YOUR WORK HOME WITH YOU?
I BRING WORK HOME EVERY NIGHT.
COME ON, NO DATES?
NOT MANY.
GUYS AREN'T TOO SURE ABOUT ME.
A LOT OF THEM
TALK A GOOD GAME
ABOUT WANTING
A WOMAN WHO'S AN EQUAL.
BUT MOST OF THEM ARE
TOO INSECURE TO HANDLE IT.
THAT'S THEIR LOSS.
YOU EVER THINK
ABOUT SETTLING DOWN?
MAYBE SOMEDAY.
THERE ARE JUST A FEW THINGS
I NEED TO WORK OUT FIRST.
AFRAID OF COMMITMENT?
NO, JUST HONEST.
I LIKE HONEST.
ANGELA BATISTA?
WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU?
I HEARD THAT YOU'RE IN CHARGE
OF THE WRECKING CREW
WHICH I FIND
VERY HARD TO BELIEVE.
BUT IT MIGHT
EXPLAIN
THE BEHAVIOR OF A CERTAIN
FRIEND OF MINE-- VINCE BLACK.
HAVE YOU
SEEN HIM?
OH, HI, BOBBY.
HOW ARE YOU?
OKAY.
FLOOD SHOW UP?
HE DID, INDEED,
AND WE NEED TO TALK.
I GOT TO GO.
I'LL CALL YOU.
WAIT A SECOND,
WAIT A SECOND!
WHAT'S GOING ON?
WE JUST HAVE
A PERSONAL FRIEND
THAT HAS A PROBLEM.
PETE FLOOD'S A FRIEND OF YOURS?
YOU KNOW HIM?
I KNOW ABOUT HIM.
MY BROTHER SAID
HE TRIED TO BREAK IN LAST WEEK
BECAUSE HE THINKS GENERAL BIRD
IS HIDING SOMETHING.
RUMOR MILL SAYS THAT FLOOD
THINKS IT'S A U.F.O.
NOW, EXACTLY HOW
YOU FIT IN...
I'M NOT SURE, BUT I DO KNOW
YOU ASK WAY
TOO MANY QUESTIONS
TO BE REGULAR CREW.
Reno:
YOU'RE RIGHT.
BOBBY AND I
ARE BOUNTY HUNTERS.
PETE FLOOD HIRED US.
HE HIRED YOU
TO FIND THE U.F.O.
NO, HE HIRED US
TO FIND THE TRUTH.
THEN YOU'RE GOING TO NEED ME.
WE DO APPRECIATE
YOUR HELP, BUT...
IF THE MILITARY'S
HIDING SOMETHING
I WANT TO KNOW WHAT IT IS.
AH, A GIRL
AFTER MY OWN HEART.
OKAY, UH, I'LL LAY LOW
UNTIL WE'RE ALL READY
TO MOVE TOGETHER.
THE STORAGE AREA
IN BUILDING 15
IS SUBTERRANEAN.
I'VE MAPPED OUT
THE FASTEST
ACCESS ROUTE.
MY GUESS IS
THE ELEVATORS
AREN'T OPERATIONAL.
GOOD GUESS-- WE PULLED
THE CABLE ON TUESDAY.
SO EXACTLY WHAT IS
VINCE LOOKING FOR?
A FREIGHT CONTAINER.
IT'S GOT SOME
LONG NUMBER ON IT
BUT IT ENDS IN 56.
ISN'T THAT
A LITTLE LARGE
FOR THE BACK
OF A HARLEY?
THEY'VE BROKEN DOWN
AND SORTED
ALL THE EVIDENCE.
HE SHOULD GRAB
WHATEVER HE CAN CARRY.
WE'LL CREATE
A DIVERSION
TO GET HIM IN.
HOW TIGHT IS
THAT SECURITY?
IT'S OFFICIALLY CLOSED,
SO ONLY A SMALL SECURITY CREW.
UNOFFICIALLY, THOUGH,
IT COULD BE TIGHT.
VINCE SAW A PAINT CREW
ON THE ROOF...
PAINTING A LANDING MARKER.
TO GET IT OUT
BY HELICOPTER.
THAT WOULD
BE MY GUESS.
TO MOVE IT BY MORNING.
WHY?
IT'S WIRED TO BLOW
AT 7:00 A.M.
THEN WE MOVE TONIGHT.
WE'RE NOT
TAKING ANY CHANCES.
( flashlight hits ground )
Man:
IT'S CLEAR.
MUST HAVE BEEN
A RAT OR SOMETHING.
Man:
FREEZE.
DROP THE BOX.
I SAID DROP IT!
( phone beeps )
WHAT IS IT?
WE'VE BEEN BREACHED.
LET ME GUESS-- VINCE BLACK.
HE FITS THE DESCRIPTION.
CATCH HIM--
USE EVERY MAN AVAILABLE.
I'm moving up the detonation
SO DO IT FAST.
YES, SIR.
SHE BLOWS IN ONE HOUR.
( clock ticking )
3:00 A.M.
HE SHOULD
HAVE BEEN BACK
TWO HOURS AGO.
I'M GOING IN
AFTER HIM.
YOU'LL NEVER GET ON THE BASE.
IF BIRD SUSPECTS
SOMEONE'S IN THAT BUILDING
HE'S LOCKED THE PLACE UP TIGHT.
THERE'S A WORSE POSSIBILITY.
LIKE HE MOVED UP THE BLAST?
THE MAN TAKES NO PRISONERS.
CALL THE COPS.
IT'S MILITARY.
BIRD CAN STONEWALL
THE POLICE FOR HOURS.
YOU NEED ONE OF THEIR OWN
TO GET IN THERE.
LIKE WHO?
IT'S A LONG SHOT,
BUT I'VE GOT AN IDEA.
( knocking at door )
WHO IS IT?
ANGELA!
WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
WHO'S HE?
A FRIEND IN NEED.
Angela:
MIGUEL,
LISTEN TO ME.
I THINK THAT GENERAL BIRD
HAS MOVED UP THE DETONATION.
FOR GOD'S SAKE, ANGELA,
ARE YOU NUTS?
HE'S TRYING TO GET RID
OF THE EVIDENCE.
EVIDENCE OF WHAT?
THE U.F.O. CRASH SITE AT TRAVIS.
YOU'RE AS CRAZY AS THE NUT
WHO TRIED TO BREAK IN!
I AM NOT CRAZY!
VINCE WAS SUPPOSED
TO CHECK IN
THREE HOURS AGO.
WE HAVEN'T HEARD FROM HIM.
YOU STUCK HIM ON THE BASE?
UNCONVENTIONAL CIRCUMSTANCES
CALLED FOR IT.
INVOLVING INNOCENT PEOPLE
LIKE ANGELA?
IT'S NOT
HIS FAULT!
I FIGURED OUT WHAT WAS GOING ON.
I VOLUNTEERED TO HELP.
WELL, THEN YOU'RE
AS BAD AS HE IS.
TU ERES MI HERMANO!
NECESITO
TU AYUDA.
ARREST ME...
ARREST HIM...
BUT FIRST,
PLEASE CHECK OUT THE BASE.
SEE IF WE'RE RIGHT.
Pete:
YOU CAN ARREST ME, TOO.
I'M THE ONE
YOU REALLY WANT.
YOU'RE PETER FLOOD.
IN THE FLESH.
AND I'LL STAY
RIGHT HERE
UNTIL YOU CHECK
OUT THEIR STORY.
YOU HAVE MY WORD, MIGUEL.
WE DON'T MOVE
UNTIL YOU GET BACK.
ALL RIGHT.
ALL RIGHT, I'LL DO IT.
GENERAL BIRD?
MAJOR BATISTA.
WHAT ARE YOU
DOING HERE?
I SAW THE
DOOR WAS OPEN.
GLAD YOU'RE ON
YOUR TOES, MAJOR.
DISMISSED.
PERMISSION TO
SPEAK FREELY, SIR.
PERMISSION DENIED.
THERE'S A RUMOR
YOU'RE PUSHING UP
THE DETONATION.
DIDN'T YOU HEAR ME?
YES, I DID, SIR.
YOU'RE RISKING SEVERE
DISCIPLINARY ACTION.
MY ORDERS ARE
TO EVACUATE
AND INSPECT
ALL BUILDINGS
BEFORE DETONATION.
YOU HAVE NO MORE ORDERS.
I'M RELIEVING YOU OF DUTY.
NOW, GET OUT OF HERE
BEFORE I CALL SECURITY!
NO, SIR.
UP THE STAIRS!
BOTH ENDS OF THE BUILDING!
HE'S HEADING FOR THE ROOF.
LET'S GO!
HOW'S YOUR BROTHER?
MUCH BETTER.
THE AIR FORCE
IS TALKING ABOUT
SPECIAL COMMENDATION
FOR BRAVERY.
WELL, HE EARNED IT.
I'M SURPRISED THE PENTAGON
ISN'T PROTECTING BIRD.
PEOPLE DIED
IN THAT BLAST.
I THINK IT'S
JUST A LITTLE TOO BIG
FOR THEM TO COVER UP.
I GUESS THIS IS WHERE
I'M SUPPOSED TO ASK YOU TO STAY.
I'LL COME BACK.
I PROMISE.
MAN...
I THOUGHT YOU
WERE A GONER.
NO SUCH LUCK.
( chuckling )
GOOD NEWS--
THE AIR FORCE
HAS DROPPED
ALL CHARGES AGAINST
MR. PETE FLOOD.
NO QUESTIONS ASKED.
THAT'S GREAT.
NO MORE LIVING
IN THE SHADOWS
WATCHING MY BACK.
GOD, FEELS GOOD.
I BET IT DOES.
I DON'T KNOW HOW I CAN
EVER THANK YOU GUYS ENOUGH.
I JUST WISH
I GOT OUT OF THERE
WITH THE HARD EVIDENCE.
HEY, AFTER
WHAT'S HAPPENED
I'VE GOT ALL THE PROOF
I NEED, BELIEVE ME.
THANKS AGAIN, GUYS.
YOU KNOW,
THERE IS SOMEBODY
WHO'D LIKE
TO TALK TO YOU.
I'M NOT READY FOR ANY REPORTERS.
SHE'S NOT
A REPORTER, PETE.
NANCY...
ANOTHER, MAJOR?
MAKE IT A DOUBLE, WILL YOU?
COMING
RIGHT UP.
WHEN'S THE BASE
CLOSING?
FRIDAY'S D-DAY.
GUESS IT'S PRETTY
MUCH EMPTIED OUT
BY NOW, THEN, HUH?
JUST ABOUT.
WHAT ARE YOU,
A REPORTER
OR SOMETHING?
NO, NO, JUST CURIOUS,
THAT'S ALL.
THERE HE IS.
( gunshots )
HE WAS A COP
AND GOOD AT HIS JOB
BUT HE COMMITTED
THE ULTIMATE SIN
AND TESTIFIED AGAINST
OTHER COPS GONE BAD--
COPS THAT TRIED TO KILL HIM
BUT GOT THE WOMAN
HE LOVED INSTEAD.
FRAMED FOR MURDER,
NOW HE PROWLS THE BADLANDS
AN OUTLAW HUNTING OUTLAWS
A BOUNTY HUNTER
A RENEGADE.
THAT'S NICE.
THAT'S NOT BAD.
OH, SO WHICH
ONE OF THESE
DO YOU LIKE?
FOR WHAT? A DART BOARD?
I'M PUTTING AN AD
IN BUSINESSWEEK.
WHAT DOES THIS ONE TELL YOU?
KIDDIE-SHOW HOST.
HOW ABOUT THIS ONE?
HIT MAN.
HIT MAN.
WHAT ABOUT THESE TWO?
I DON'T KNOW, MAN.
FRITO BANDITO.
YOU GREATLY
UNDERESTIMATE
THE POWER OF
ADVERTISING,
MY FRIEND.
YOU KNOW THAT?
DO YOU ALSO KNOW MOST BUSINESSES
FAIL IN THEIR FIRST YEAR
BECAUSE THEIR MARKETING BUDGETS
ARE RUEFULLY INADEQUATE?
I'M HUNGRY.
THIS IS IMPORTANT.
EXCUSE ME.
IS THIS SIXKILLER ENTERPRISES?
YES, BOBBY
SIXKILLER
AT YOUR SERVICE--
YOU ARE...?
A POTENTIAL CLIENT.
HOW DID YOU FIND US, SIR?
YOUR AD IN THE TRIBUNE.
IT SURE DOES PAY TO ADVERTISE,
DOESN'T IT?
PLEASE,
SIT DOWN.
HOW CAN I HELP YOU?
MR. SIXKILLER
I'M WILLING
TO OFFER YOU
A $10,000 REWARD
IF YOU CAN FIND
SOMETHING FOR ME.
REALLY?
AND EXACTLY
WHAT
WOULD YOU LIKE US TO FIND?
THIS.
( clears throat )
U.F.O.
WELL, IT CERTAINLY PAYS
TO ADVERTISE.
VINCE BLACK.
PETER FLOOD.
Bobby:
YOU KNOW, MR. FLOOD,
I, UH...
WOULD LOVE TO TACKLE
THIS INTRIGUING ASSIGNMENT...
YOU THINK I'M A CRACKPOT,
BUT HEAR ME OUT.
THREE YEARS AGO
I WAS STATIONED AT
TRAVIS AIR FORCE BASE.
WE GOT A CALL ONE NIGHT
FROM SOME FARMER.
SAYS A U.F.O. HAS CRASHED
ON HIS PROPERTY.
C.O. SENDS ME OUT
TO TAKE AWAY THE GLUE
THE GUY'S BEEN SNIFFING.
HAVE A LOOK AT THIS.
THIS IS
THE CRASH SITE.
THE AIR FORCE WORKS
WITH MANY TOP SECRET
EXPERIMENTAL AIRCRAFT.
I HAD TOP SECURITY CLEARANCE.
WE DIDN'T HAVE ANYTHING
IN THE SKY THAT NIGHT.
WHAT DID YOUR C.O. DO WHEN
YOU SHOWED HIM THE PICTURES?
GENERAL BIRD SAID
HE'D CHECK RIGHT
INTO IT.
HE WAS FREAKED.
HE WAS SURE
WHATEVER IT WAS
DIDN'T BELONG
TO US.
THE NEXT DAY, THAT FIELD WAS
CRAWLING WITH FEDS AND M.P.s.
THE OFFICIAL
REPORT SAID
IT WAS A, UH...
A WEATHER BALLOON.
DID THE GENERAL BUY
THE WHITEWASH?
HE WAS THE ONE WHO SIGNED IT.
THAT NIGHT,
MY HOUSE WAS
BROKEN INTO.
THE ONLY THING
TAKEN WAS
THE NEGATIVES TO THOSE PICTURES.
REAL TROUBLE STARTED
WHEN I WOULDN'T STOP
ASKING
QUESTIONS.
THEY FALSIFIED MY RESEARCH
THEY MADE ME LOOK
LIKE A TOTAL SCREW-UP.
THEY RUINED MY LIFE.
WHO EXACTLY IS "THEY"?
"THEY" MEANING THE AIR FORCE,
F.B.I., PENTAGON.
I DON'T KNOW
ABOUT THAT.
BUT I DO KNOW
THAT THE REMAINS OF THAT CRASH
WERE TRANSFERRED
TO CALVERT AIR FORCE BASE
IN A FREIGHT CONTAINER.
HOLD ON, CALVERT'S BEEN
CLOSED FOR A MONTH.
THAT'S RIGHT.
IT'S SET FOR DEMOLITION
THE END OF THE WEEK.
SO THEY'LL MOVE
THAT CONTAINER ANY DAY.
OR THEY'LL BLOW IT UP
AND IT WILL BE GONE FOREVER.
LOOK, GENTLEMEN,
THE ONLY WAY
I CAN PROVE TO THE WORLD
THAT I'M NOT CRAZY
IS GETTING MY HANDS
ON THAT EVIDENCE.
SO?
ARE WE IN BUSINESS?
HOW CAN YOU TAKE
HIM SERIOUSLY?
THAT'S EXACTLY
WHAT YOU SAID
ABOUT D.B. COOPER
AND WE FOUND HIM!
D.B. COOPER IS NOT
A MAN FROM MARS.
FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS
INDIAN HIEROGLYPHICS
HAVE BEEN TELLING US
ABOUT VISITORS
FROM THE SKY.
MODERN ENGINEERS
ARE STUDYING
AZTEC RUINS
AND DO YOU KNOW
WHAT THEY FOUND?
NO, BUT I KNOW
YOU'LL TELL ME.
THE TECHNOLOGY
TO BUILD THOSE SUCKERS
WEREN'T EVEN
INVENTED BACK THEN.
MEANING WHAT?
MEANING MAYBE WE HAD
A LITTLE HELP
FROM UP THERE.
I DON'T THINK
PETE FLOOD
HAD A CLOSE
ENCOUNTER.
WHAT IF HE DID
AND THE EVIDENCE
IS THERE?
WHAT IF HE'S A LOON?
WE CAN'T LET HIM
SPEND HIS LIFE
SAVINGS
ON A WILD GOOSE CHASE.
I'LL DO A BACKGROUND
CHECK ON HIM
WHILE YOU GO
TO CALVERT
AND CHECK
THE PLACE OUT.
IF ANYTHING'S NOT KOSHER
WE'RE OUT
OF THERE-- HONEST.
AND WE GIVE
HIS MONEY BACK?
OF COURSE!
MINUS MY EXPENSES.
ALL RIGHT,
WE'LL GIVE HIM
ALL HIS MONEY BACK.
MEET YOU THERE.
WE GOT TO TALK,
MS. BATISTA.
JIM, WE'VE ALREADY
BEEN THROUGH THIS.
I CAN'T HIRE YOUR FRIEND.
BECAUSE YOU
ONLY HIRE
YOUR WETBACK
COUSINS?
THEN HOW COME JIM HERE
IS ON MY
PAYROLL?
LITTLE MISS FOREMAN.
YOU THINK YOU'RE
TOUGH, DON'T YOU?
LEAVE THE LADY ALONE.
GO TO HELL.
YOU OKAY?
YEAH.
YOU'RE FIRED,
JIM.
SHOW UP
ANYWHERE NEAR
THE JOB SITE
AND I'M CALLING
THE POLICE.
I GUESS I'M NOT
USED TO PLAYING
DAMSEL IN DISTRESS.
I'M SURE YOU'D HAVE
HANDLED YOURSELF.
ANGELA BATISTA.
HI, VINCE BLACK.
OH, JOHNSON
DEMOLITION.
THAT'S THE CREW
THAT'S DISMANTLING
THE AIR FORCE BASE.
YEAH, I'M THE JOB
SUPERINTENDENT.
I'M IMPRESSED.
WHAT ABOUT YOU?
WHAT'S YOUR STORY?
I'M LOOKING FOR WORK.
I JUST FIRED SOMEONE.
UH, MAYBE IT'S
YOUR LUCKY DAY.
I'D SAY IT ALREADY IS.
Bobby:
EVERYTHING ABOUT FLOOD
IS CHECKING OUT.
Reno ( over phone ):
How thorough was the check?
WELL, ACCORDING TO
THE GOVERNMENT'S OWN RECORDS
MAJOR PETER FLOOD WAS STATIONED
AT TRAVIS AIR FORCE BASE
FROM MAY '89 TO SEPTEMBER '93
WHEN HE WAS HONORABLY
DISCHARGED.
WAS THERE ANY REPORT
OF THE CRASH?
OFFICIALLY EXPLAINED
AS A WEATHER BALLOON.
JUST LIKE HE TOLD US.
BUT LISTEN TO THIS.
DO YOU REMEMBER
GENERAL HOWARD BIRD
the guy Flood said was
part of the cover-up?
WELL, HE IS NOW THE COMMANDING
OFFICER AT CALVERT.
SO HE TRANSFERRED,
SO WHAT?
BUT WHY CALVERT?
CAN YOU ANSWER ME THAT?
And why did the farmer who owned
the field the U.F.O. crashed in
move out of the country?
AND WHY DID THE AGENT WHO HEADED
UP THE INVESTIGATION
WIND UP DEAD IN A CAR CRASH?
IT SOUNDS LIKE
A COVER-UP TO ME, PAL.
ANY INFORMATION
ON THAT MYSTERY CONTAINER?
No, I'm still working on it.
THERE'S NO EASY WAY TO ACCESS
MILITARY STORAGE RECORDS
BUT IT DOES CHECK OUT
THAT THEY HAVE THE STUFF
TRANSFERRED FROM TRAVIS.
CALVERT AIR FORCE BASE IS
THE SIZE OF A SMALL CITY.
FLOOD'S GOT TO GIVE US SOMETHING
MORE CONCRETE TO GO ON.
He's got a hunch it's
in building 15-- start there.
Yeah, well, I've got
to get back to work.
WELL, HANG TIGHT.
I'LL GET BACK TO YOU
AS SOON AS I TALK TO HIM-- BYE.
( jackhammers pounding )
WHERE THE HELL DO YOU
THINK YOU'RE GOING?
I THOUGHT THE
BUILDING WAS EMPTY.
YOU'RE TRESPASSING.
NO, I'M NOT, I'M WORKING HERE.
I'VE NEVER SEEN YOU BEFORE.
I SAW SOMEONE HEAD INSIDE.
I DON'T WANT
ANYONE GETTING HURT.
WHAT'S YOUR NAME?
WHAT'S GOING
ON HERE?
I WANT HIM OFF THE BASE,
THAT'S WHAT.
LOOK, I DON'T TELL YOU
HOW TO RUN THE AIR FORCE.
DON'T TELL ME
HOW TO RUN MY CREW.
I'M MAKING A FULL REPORT.
I'M SHAKING IN MY BOOTS.
YOU'RE IN A LOT OF TROUBLE.
I DON'T KNOW.
I MAY NOT BE AN EXPERT
IN PUBLIC RELATIONS
BUT MAKING HIM MAD MIGHT
NOT BE THE BEST IDEA.
YEAH, HE'LL GET
OVER IT, TRUST ME.
HOW SO?
HE'S MY BROTHER.
SMALL WORLD!
YEAH, TOO SMALL.
HE TRIED TO KEEP ME
FROM GETTING THIS JOB.
MICHAEL IS HEAD OF
THE B.R.A.C. COMMITTEE.
IT'S THE BASE REALIGNMENT
AND CLOSING COMMITTEE.
HE WAS AFRAID
IF I GOT HIRED
AS FOREPERSON
ON THE JOB
THAT IT WOULD LOOK
LIKE FAVORITISM
AND CONFLICT
OF INTEREST.
WELL, WHAT DIFFERENCE
DOES THAT MAKE
AS LONG AS YOU GET
THE WORK DONE?
THAT'S WHAT
MY BOSS SAID.
BUT MICHAEL THINKS
THAT I'M TAKING A JOB
AWAY FROM A MAN.
THAT'S A PRETTY
PREHISTORIC ATTITUDE.
TELL ME ABOUT IT.
YOU MUST BE
THE LEGENDARY
BOBBY SIXKILLER.
IN THE FLESH.
AND YOU ARE?
HOWARD BIRD.
AS IN GENERAL HOWARD BIRD?
YES.
NOT ON GOLFING DAYS.
THIS IS STRICTLY UNOFFICIAL.
WELL, HOW CAN I
UNOFFICIALLY HELP YOU?
A FELLOW BY THE NAME
OF PETE FLOOD
COME BY HERE TO SEE YOU?
ALL THE NAMES OF MY CLIENTS
ARE CONFIDENTIAL, SIR.
WELL, AFTER 32 YEARS
IN THE MILITARY
ALL I KNOW IS
FIRE STRAIGHT AHEAD.
I APOLOGIZE.
I'M NOT ASKING YOU TO
COMPROMISE YOUR INTEGRITY.
APOLOGY ACCEPTED.
HOW CAN I HELP YOU?
FLOOD IS A SUSPECT
IN THE BREAK-IN OF MY BASE.
WE HAVEN'T CHARGED HIM YET
BUT WE'RE PRETTY SURE
HE'S THE GUY.
MR. SIXKILLER,
I'M GOING
TO GIVE IT TO YOU STRAIGHT.
I KNOW HE WAS HERE.
AND I'M WITHHOLDING
CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.
WELL, I'M NOT HERE
TO HARASS YOU.
I NEED YOU AS AN ALLY
NOT AN ENEMY.
FLOOD WORKED
FOR ME
FOR MORE THAN TEN YEARS.
HE WAS A GOOD SOLDIER,
STAND-UP GUY.
THEN ONE DAY HE SNAPPED.
CONCOCTED THIS
CRAZY STORY
ABOUT A FLYING SAUCER
THAT LANDED OUTSIDE A BASE.
THERE WAS A REPORTED CRASH
OUTSIDE TRAVIS.
HE'S GOT YOU CONVINCED
IT WASN'T A WEATHER BALLOON.
HE'S GOT
ME CONVINCED
THAT IT WASN'T EXPERIMENTAL
BECAUSE HE HAD TOP SECURITY
CLEARANCE AT THAT TIME.
OH, NO.
HIS TOP SECRET STATUS
WAS SUSPENDED.
WHAT FOR?
WELL, WE HAD AN ESPIONAGE SCARE.
WE SUSPENDED A DOZEN CLEARANCES
JUST TO MAKE
THE FOLKS BACK
IN D.C. HAPPY.
BUT FLOOD TOOK IT HARD.
NEVER THE SAME AFTER THAT.
THE AIR FORCE DID EVERYTHING
THEY COULD FOR HIM.
I MADE SURE OF THAT.
AND THEN YOU HAD HIM DISCHARGED.
I HAD TO.
THE SHRINKS HAD HIM DIAGNOSED
AS PARANOID DELUSIONAL.
HE COULDN'T
DO HIS JOB.
I'LL BET HE NEVER TOLD YOU
ABOUT THAT,
DID HE?
WELL...
THAT'S ALL
IN THE PAST.
ALL I'M WORRIED
ABOUT NOW IS
THAT HE'S GOING TO
GET HIMSELF HURT
OR HE'S GOING
TO SUCKER
SOME WELL-MEANING
CIVILIAN LIKE YOURSELF.
YES, WELL, I WILL TAKE
ALL THIS INFORMATION
INTO CONSIDERATION.
THANKS FOR YOUR TIME,
MR. SIXKILLER.
THANK YOU.
WHERE ARE YOU GOING?
IT'S QUITTING TIME.
YOU DIDN'T FINISH PULLING WIRE
IN THE BASEMENT.
YOU ARE NOT HIS BOSS, MIGUEL.
NO, I'M
YOUR BOSS.
THE GENERAL WANTS
THAT BUILDING CLEAN OF SALVAGE.
HIS SHIFT IS OVER AT 4:00.
IT'S ALL RIGHT, I'LL DO IT.
Angela:
WHEN ARE YOU
GOING TO STOP
TELLING ME HOW TO DO MY JOB?
WHEN YOU LEARN TO DO IT RIGHT.
THIS IS THE
BIGGEST JOB
I'VE EVER
BEEN ASSIGNED
AND YOU ARE
DELIBERATELY TRYING
TO MAKE ME LOOK BAD
IN FRONT OF MY CREW.
I DON'T HAVE TO.
YOU'RE DOING A FINE JOB
ALL BY YOURSELF.
LOOK, I'M SORRY, ANGELA.
I DIDN'T MEAN THAT, OKAY?
DON'T SPEAK TO ME.
( alarm ringing )
Man ( yelling ):
MAN DOWN, MAN DOWN!
VINCE! VINCE!
VINCE!
( coughing )
VINCE!
WHERE ARE YOU, VINCE?
OH, MY...!
COME ON, LET'S GO,
LET'S GO.
LET'S GET HIM
OUT OF HERE.
Bobby:
WHO TURNED YOUR HEAD, RENO?
I THINK PETE FLOOD
IS TELLING THE TRUTH.
Right.
I MEAN IT.
HAVE YOU BEEN BRAINWASHED?
No, but I was almost
charbroiled.
SOMEBODY WANTS ME
OUT OF THE WAY REAL BAD.
Listen, General Howard Bird
paid me a visit;
gave me the whole lowdown
on Flood.
THIS U.F.O. STORY COULD BE
TO GET BACK AT THE AIR FORCE
FOR REVOKING HIS CLEARANCE
AND DISCHARGING HIM.
Do you know that
he's wanted for questioning
BECAUSE HE TRIED TO
BREAK ONTO THE CALVERT BASE?
WHAT DO YOU EXPECT
THE AIR FORCE BRASS TO TELL YOU?
YOU'RE SOUNDING
AS PARANOID AS HE IS.
HAVE YOU GOT
THE BUILDING PLANS YET?
NO!
WHY THE WAIT?
FLOOD HASN'T EVEN SHOWED UP.
( dial tone )
THAT BOY HAS GOT NO MANNERS.
Bobby:
SO WHERE THE HELL
HAVE YOU BEEN?
Pete:
I'VE GOT TO BE
VERY CAREFUL.
LOOK, I'LL HAVE THE PLANS
IN THE MORNING.
Pete:
SO YOU'VE SPOKEN WITH
GENERAL BIRD, HUH?
YEAH, AND HE STARTED POKING
HOLES IN YOUR STORY, PAL.
WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME
THAT YOUR TOP SECRET
CLEARANCE WAS REVOKED
THE NIGHT YOU SAW
WHATEVER YOU THINK YOU SAW?
I WAS SUSPENDED
ON PAPER.
IT DIDN'T MEAN ANYTHING
IN A PRACTICAL SENSE.
THE NIGHT OF THE CRASH,
IT WAS BUSINESS AS USUAL.
HE SAID YOU TRIED TO BREAK
INTO A MILITARY FACILITY.
MM-HMM, DID HE HAVE
A WARRANT FOR MY ARREST?
OH, YOU GOT ANSWERS
FOR EVERYTHING.
YEAH, MY DAD USED TO TELL ME,
WHEN YOU STICK TO THE TRUTH
YOU DON'T HAVE TO REMEMBER
WHAT YOU SAID.
WELL, LET ME
TELL YOU
WHAT I'M ABOUT TO SAY, PAL.
YOU CUT THE CRAP.
NOW, YOU TELL ME EVERYTHING.
WHY ARE YOU GOING AFTER
THE AIR FORCE?
YOU KNOW, ONCE UPON A TIME,
I WAS A HAPPILY MARRIED MAN.
SHE WAS MY FIRST LOVE...
MY ONLY LOVE.
WE DIDN'T HAVE A LOT
BUT WE HAD EACH OTHER.
WE WERE TOGETHER,
AND THAT'S ALL THAT COUNTED.
BUT AFTER
THE INVESTIGATION
THE QUESTIONS,
THE SHAME
IT WAS ALL TOO MUCH
FOR MY WIFE TO TAKE.
NANCY LEFT ME ABOUT A MONTH
AFTER I WAS DISCHARGED.
YOU KNOW,
YOU'D THINK
AFTER THREE YEARS
I COULD LET IT GO, RIGHT?
TROUBLE IS,
I CAN'T LET GO OF NANCY.
I UNDERSTAND.
SO YOU SEE, MR. SIXKILLER
I REALLY DON'T CARE
IF THE WHOLE WORLD BELIEVES ME.
I ONLY CARE
THAT NANCY BELIEVES ME.
( motorcycle approaching )
RELAXING AFTER
A HARD DAY'S WORK?
VINCE, I WAS WORRIED ABOUT YOU.
HOW ARE YOU FEELING?
I'M FINE.
I JUST WANTED
TO STOP BY
AND PERSONALLY THANK YOU FOR
PULLING ME OUT WHEN YOU DID.
MICHAEL FEELS
TERRIBLE ABOUT IT.
I WAS WORKING
THAT BUILDING ALL DAY.
HOW COULD THE POWER
SUDDENLY TURN ITSELF ON?
THERE MUST BE A LIVE
BREAKER SOMEWHERE.
I THOUGHT I WOULD
GET THROUGH THIS JOB
WITHOUT ANY ACCIDENTS.
DON'T YOU THINK IT'S DANGEROUS
TO HAVE PEOPLE WORKING
INSIDE OF BUILDING 15?
NO ONE IS WORKING 15.
I SAW SOMEONE GO IN THERE.
MUST BE AN M.P.
SNEAKING A SMOKE.
DOES THAT
SOFTAIL RIDE
AS GOOD AS SHE LOOKS?
WHY DON'T YOU PUT DOWN
YOUR BASKET OF FLOWERS
AND FIND OUT
FOR YOURSELF?
EXCUSE ME...
ARE YOU NANCY FLOOD?
YEAH, WHO WANTS TO KNOW?
BOBBY SIXKILLER.
I'D LIKE TO DISCUSS
YOUR EX-HUSBAND.
DON'T YOU PEOPLE
EVER GIVE UP?
SECOND THOUGHT,
YOU ARE NOT MILITARY.
THANK YOU.
YOU SEE, MRS. FLOOD,
I'M A LICENSED BOUNTY HUNTER.
SO WHAT, NOW THERE'S
A PRICE ON HIS HEAD?
WELL, NOT THAT I KNOW OF.
YOUR HUSBAND HIRED ME
TO HELP HIM.
I'M HOPING
YOU CAN HELP ME
SORT THROUGH THIS.
PETER DIDN'T
TELL YOU ABOUT
THE RESTRAINING ORDER?
I KNOW BOTH OF YOU DID NOT LEAVE
ON THE BEST OF TERMS.
LOOK, MY EX-HUSBAND IS
A DEEPLY TROUBLED MAN.
SO, IF YOU'LL EXCUSE ME?
WAIT A MINUTE.
WHAT IF HE COMES UP WITH
INFORMATION TO CLEAR HIS STORY?
LOOK, I DON'T WANT
TO KNOW, OKAY?
WHY NOT?
PETER AND I HAD A SON.
JOEY WAS THREE
WHEN HIS DAD FIRST STARTED
HAVING THESE FLIGHTS OF FANCY.
SO I BAWLED
HIM OUT
FOR IGNORING
HIS SON
SO HE TOOK JOEY TO A BALL GAME.
AND, UH...
IT STARTED TO RAIN
ON HIS WAY BACK FROM THE GAME.
WE LIVED UP IN THE MOUNTAINS.
I, UH, GUESS
THE STREET
WAS WET
BECAUSE HE LOST
CONTROL OF THE CAR.
PETER SURVIVED THE ACCIDENT.
JOEY DIDN'T.
I'M SORRY.
PETER WAS NEVER
THE SAME AFTER THAT.
NEITHER WAS OUR MARRIAGE.
NOW, I REALLY
HAVE TO GO.
( car starts )
HEY, YOU GOT
A THREE-QUARTER
OPEN END?
COOL.
VINCE BLACK'S
STILL ASKING
A LOT OF QUESTIONS
ABOUT BUILDING 15.
HE SAW THE CREW
ON THE ROOF.
MM-HMM.
THE BUREAU'S ATTEMPT
TO DISENGAGE MR. BLACK
DID NOT SUCCEED.
DID NOT SUCCEED?!
YOU ALMOST BURNED DOWN
THE BUILDING!
BE THAT AS
IT MAY, HOWARD
MR. BLACK STILL NEEDS
TO BE TERMINATED.
I HAD THE PEROXIDE
WHO ANSWERS MY PHONE
DO A BACKGROUND CHECK.
VINCE BLACK
IS A BOUNTY HUNTER--
WORKS FOR SIXKILLER
ENTERPRISES.
YOU JUST LET HIM BE.
HE'LL LEAD US RIGHT
TO PETE FLOOD.
Angela:
100, 100, GIVE ME
ANOTHER 100, BABY!
COME ON, COME ON,
COME ON, YES!
OKAY, ALL RIGHT.
NO! NO!
YES, YES, YES!
COME ON, ONE MORE
TIME, ONE MORE...
( screaming )
YES! YES!
250,000, YES!
OH, YES, BABY,
YES, WHOO-OO!
I BETTER QUIT
WHILE I'M AHEAD.
SEE YOU LATER.
SO, IS THIS SEAT TAKEN?
I HOPE SO.
UM...
SAUVIGNON BLANC,
PLEASE.
I'LL JUST
HAVE A BEER.
I THOUGHT YOU
DRANK BEER.
YEAH, WELL,
DON'T TELL ANYBODY.
THIS SISSY
WINE STUFF
COULD BE BAD
FOR MY IMAGE.
YOU HAVE A PRETTY
UNUSUAL IMAGE.
HOW'S THAT?
WELL, YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL...
YOU'RE FEMININE AND, UH...
YOU BLOW THINGS UP FOR A LIVING.
THAT'S A PRETTY
INTERESTING COMBINATION.
IF YOU WANT TO KNOW MORE
COME OVER FOR DINNER
TOMORROW NIGHT.
YOU COOK, TOO?
SOME SAY.
WELL, AT LEAST I KNOW
WHAT KIND OF WINE TO BRING.
8:00?
I'LL BE THERE.
DO YOU KNOW
THAT GUY?
I MIGHT HAVE
SEEN HIM AROUND.
THAT'S THE FELLOW I SAW
SNEAK INTO BUILDING 15.
HE'S PROBABLY COUNTING
THE PAPER CLIPS WE LEFT BEHIND.
YOU KNOW, I HEARD THERE WAS
A BREAK-IN AT THE BASE.
YOU HEAR WAY
TOO MUCH, BOY.
WHY DON'T YOU
HAVE A SEAT?
I'M THE OFFICER
IN CHARGE
OF BASE REALIGNMENT
AND CLOSING--
NOT HER.
YOU GOT
A PROBLEM
YOU TALK TO ME.
MIGUEL, PLEASE DON'T DO THIS.
YOU'RE BOTHERING
MY SISTER.
GET LOST.
MIGUEL!
AREN'T YOU BEING
OVERPROTECTIVE?
OH, REALLY?
I'LL SEE
YOU TOMORROW.
HEY, WHAT THE HELL'S
GOING ON HERE?
FREEZE!
I MADE SOME COFFEE,
I HOPE YOU DON'T MIND.
WHAT'S GOING ON?
WHERE'S PETER FLOOD?
I DON'T KNOW.
OKAY, ALL RIGHT,
HERE'S WHAT HAPPENED...
ARE YOU GUYS I.R.S.?
I PAID MY TAXES, PAL.
I DON'T CLAIM
ANY DEPENDENTS ANYMORE.
LET'S TRY THAT AGAIN.
I WAS SUPPOSED TO MEET
FLOOD IN THE MORNING.
HE DIDN'T SHOW UP.
I EVEN TALKED
TO HIS EX-WIFE
AND SHE DIDN'T
KNOW NOTHING.
THAT'S ALL I KNOW.
HE'S ON THE LEVEL.
CALL US WHEN HE SHOWS.
YOU DON'T LOOK SO GOOD.
ONE OF YOUR
COLLECTION AGENCIES
PAID ME A VISIT.
I DON'T OWE
ANYONE ANY MONEY.
I KNOW.
THE CAR HAD
GOVERNMENT PLATES, PETE.
IF YOU WANT TO QUIT,
I'LL UNDERSTAND.
YOU KNOW,
WHEN GENERAL BIRD
STARTED POKING HOLES
IN YOUR STORY
I WASN'T
TOO SURE ABOUT YOU.
ESPECIALLY
AFTER TALKING
TO YOUR WIFE--
I KNEW I WASN'T
TOO SURE ABOUT YOU.
BUT WHEN THE FEDS
STARTED THRASHING MY OFFICE
I KNEW YOU WERE RIGHT
ABOUT ONE THING--
THAT THEY'RE HIDING SOMETHING
AND I WANT TO KNOW
WHAT THAT SOMETHING IS.
LET'S GET BUSY.
( steam hissing )
Man:
THERE'S A GAS LEAK!
GAS LEAK!
GAS LEAK!
EVERYBODY
OUT OF HERE!
IT'S GOING TO BLOW!
LET'S GO, GET
OUT OF HERE NOW!
EVERYBODY OUT
RIGHT NOW!
IT'S A BROKEN GAS LINE.
MOVE!
EVERYBODY OUT NOW!
WHERE IS EVERYONE GOING?
THERE'S
A GAS LEAK.
THAT'S CRAZY,
THE GAS IS OFF.
THEN IT'S COMING
FROM SOMEWHERE ELSE.
EVERYONE BACK IN HERE!
ON THE DOUBLE!
YOU STILL
THINK I'M CRAZY?
ARE YOU OKAY?
TWO ACCIDENTS
IN TWO DAYS.
I'M BEGINNING
TO THINK
THIS PROJECT'S JINXED.
DON'T YOU KNOW NOT TO BRING
YOUR WORK HOME WITH YOU?
I BRING WORK HOME EVERY NIGHT.
COME ON, NO DATES?
NOT MANY.
GUYS AREN'T TOO SURE ABOUT ME.
A LOT OF THEM
TALK A GOOD GAME
ABOUT WANTING
A WOMAN WHO'S AN EQUAL.
BUT MOST OF THEM ARE
TOO INSECURE TO HANDLE IT.
THAT'S THEIR LOSS.
YOU EVER THINK
ABOUT SETTLING DOWN?
MAYBE SOMEDAY.
THERE ARE JUST A FEW THINGS
I NEED TO WORK OUT FIRST.
AFRAID OF COMMITMENT?
NO, JUST HONEST.
I LIKE HONEST.
ANGELA BATISTA?
WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU?
I HEARD THAT YOU'RE IN CHARGE
OF THE WRECKING CREW
WHICH I FIND
VERY HARD TO BELIEVE.
BUT IT MIGHT
EXPLAIN
THE BEHAVIOR OF A CERTAIN
FRIEND OF MINE-- VINCE BLACK.
HAVE YOU
SEEN HIM?
OH, HI, BOBBY.
HOW ARE YOU?
OKAY.
FLOOD SHOW UP?
HE DID, INDEED,
AND WE NEED TO TALK.
I GOT TO GO.
I'LL CALL YOU.
WAIT A SECOND,
WAIT A SECOND!
WHAT'S GOING ON?
WE JUST HAVE
A PERSONAL FRIEND
THAT HAS A PROBLEM.
PETE FLOOD'S A FRIEND OF YOURS?
YOU KNOW HIM?
I KNOW ABOUT HIM.
MY BROTHER SAID
HE TRIED TO BREAK IN LAST WEEK
BECAUSE HE THINKS GENERAL BIRD
IS HIDING SOMETHING.
RUMOR MILL SAYS THAT FLOOD
THINKS IT'S A U.F.O.
NOW, EXACTLY HOW
YOU FIT IN...
I'M NOT SURE, BUT I DO KNOW
YOU ASK WAY
TOO MANY QUESTIONS
TO BE REGULAR CREW.
Reno:
YOU'RE RIGHT.
BOBBY AND I
ARE BOUNTY HUNTERS.
PETE FLOOD HIRED US.
HE HIRED YOU
TO FIND THE U.F.O.
NO, HE HIRED US
TO FIND THE TRUTH.
THEN YOU'RE GOING TO NEED ME.
WE DO APPRECIATE
YOUR HELP, BUT...
IF THE MILITARY'S
HIDING SOMETHING
I WANT TO KNOW WHAT IT IS.
AH, A GIRL
AFTER MY OWN HEART.
OKAY, UH, I'LL LAY LOW
UNTIL WE'RE ALL READY
TO MOVE TOGETHER.
THE STORAGE AREA
IN BUILDING 15
IS SUBTERRANEAN.
I'VE MAPPED OUT
THE FASTEST
ACCESS ROUTE.
MY GUESS IS
THE ELEVATORS
AREN'T OPERATIONAL.
GOOD GUESS-- WE PULLED
THE CABLE ON TUESDAY.
SO EXACTLY WHAT IS
VINCE LOOKING FOR?
A FREIGHT CONTAINER.
IT'S GOT SOME
LONG NUMBER ON IT
BUT IT ENDS IN 56.
ISN'T THAT
A LITTLE LARGE
FOR THE BACK
OF A HARLEY?
THEY'VE BROKEN DOWN
AND SORTED
ALL THE EVIDENCE.
HE SHOULD GRAB
WHATEVER HE CAN CARRY.
WE'LL CREATE
A DIVERSION
TO GET HIM IN.
HOW TIGHT IS
THAT SECURITY?
IT'S OFFICIALLY CLOSED,
SO ONLY A SMALL SECURITY CREW.
UNOFFICIALLY, THOUGH,
IT COULD BE TIGHT.
VINCE SAW A PAINT CREW
ON THE ROOF...
PAINTING A LANDING MARKER.
TO GET IT OUT
BY HELICOPTER.
THAT WOULD
BE MY GUESS.
TO MOVE IT BY MORNING.
WHY?
IT'S WIRED TO BLOW
AT 7:00 A.M.
THEN WE MOVE TONIGHT.
WE'RE NOT
TAKING ANY CHANCES.
( flashlight hits ground )
Man:
IT'S CLEAR.
MUST HAVE BEEN
A RAT OR SOMETHING.
Man:
FREEZE.
DROP THE BOX.
I SAID DROP IT!
( phone beeps )
WHAT IS IT?
WE'VE BEEN BREACHED.
LET ME GUESS-- VINCE BLACK.
HE FITS THE DESCRIPTION.
CATCH HIM--
USE EVERY MAN AVAILABLE.
I'm moving up the detonation
SO DO IT FAST.
YES, SIR.
SHE BLOWS IN ONE HOUR.
( clock ticking )
3:00 A.M.
HE SHOULD
HAVE BEEN BACK
TWO HOURS AGO.
I'M GOING IN
AFTER HIM.
YOU'LL NEVER GET ON THE BASE.
IF BIRD SUSPECTS
SOMEONE'S IN THAT BUILDING
HE'S LOCKED THE PLACE UP TIGHT.
THERE'S A WORSE POSSIBILITY.
LIKE HE MOVED UP THE BLAST?
THE MAN TAKES NO PRISONERS.
CALL THE COPS.
IT'S MILITARY.
BIRD CAN STONEWALL
THE POLICE FOR HOURS.
YOU NEED ONE OF THEIR OWN
TO GET IN THERE.
LIKE WHO?
IT'S A LONG SHOT,
BUT I'VE GOT AN IDEA.
( knocking at door )
WHO IS IT?
ANGELA!
WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
WHO'S HE?
A FRIEND IN NEED.
Angela:
MIGUEL,
LISTEN TO ME.
I THINK THAT GENERAL BIRD
HAS MOVED UP THE DETONATION.
FOR GOD'S SAKE, ANGELA,
ARE YOU NUTS?
HE'S TRYING TO GET RID
OF THE EVIDENCE.
EVIDENCE OF WHAT?
THE U.F.O. CRASH SITE AT TRAVIS.
YOU'RE AS CRAZY AS THE NUT
WHO TRIED TO BREAK IN!
I AM NOT CRAZY!
VINCE WAS SUPPOSED
TO CHECK IN
THREE HOURS AGO.
WE HAVEN'T HEARD FROM HIM.
YOU STUCK HIM ON THE BASE?
UNCONVENTIONAL CIRCUMSTANCES
CALLED FOR IT.
INVOLVING INNOCENT PEOPLE
LIKE ANGELA?
IT'S NOT
HIS FAULT!
I FIGURED OUT WHAT WAS GOING ON.
I VOLUNTEERED TO HELP.
WELL, THEN YOU'RE
AS BAD AS HE IS.
TU ERES MI HERMANO!
NECESITO
TU AYUDA.
ARREST ME...
ARREST HIM...
BUT FIRST,
PLEASE CHECK OUT THE BASE.
SEE IF WE'RE RIGHT.
Pete:
YOU CAN ARREST ME, TOO.
I'M THE ONE
YOU REALLY WANT.
YOU'RE PETER FLOOD.
IN THE FLESH.
AND I'LL STAY
RIGHT HERE
UNTIL YOU CHECK
OUT THEIR STORY.
YOU HAVE MY WORD, MIGUEL.
WE DON'T MOVE
UNTIL YOU GET BACK.
ALL RIGHT.
ALL RIGHT, I'LL DO IT.
GENERAL BIRD?
MAJOR BATISTA.
WHAT ARE YOU
DOING HERE?
I SAW THE
DOOR WAS OPEN.
GLAD YOU'RE ON
YOUR TOES, MAJOR.
DISMISSED.
PERMISSION TO
SPEAK FREELY, SIR.
PERMISSION DENIED.
THERE'S A RUMOR
YOU'RE PUSHING UP
THE DETONATION.
DIDN'T YOU HEAR ME?
YES, I DID, SIR.
YOU'RE RISKING SEVERE
DISCIPLINARY ACTION.
MY ORDERS ARE
TO EVACUATE
AND INSPECT
ALL BUILDINGS
BEFORE DETONATION.
YOU HAVE NO MORE ORDERS.
I'M RELIEVING YOU OF DUTY.
NOW, GET OUT OF HERE
BEFORE I CALL SECURITY!
NO, SIR.
UP THE STAIRS!
BOTH ENDS OF THE BUILDING!
HE'S HEADING FOR THE ROOF.
LET'S GO!
HOW'S YOUR BROTHER?
MUCH BETTER.
THE AIR FORCE
IS TALKING ABOUT
SPECIAL COMMENDATION
FOR BRAVERY.
WELL, HE EARNED IT.
I'M SURPRISED THE PENTAGON
ISN'T PROTECTING BIRD.
PEOPLE DIED
IN THAT BLAST.
I THINK IT'S
JUST A LITTLE TOO BIG
FOR THEM TO COVER UP.
I GUESS THIS IS WHERE
I'M SUPPOSED TO ASK YOU TO STAY.
I'LL COME BACK.
I PROMISE.
MAN...
I THOUGHT YOU
WERE A GONER.
NO SUCH LUCK.
( chuckling )
GOOD NEWS--
THE AIR FORCE
HAS DROPPED
ALL CHARGES AGAINST
MR. PETE FLOOD.
NO QUESTIONS ASKED.
THAT'S GREAT.
NO MORE LIVING
IN THE SHADOWS
WATCHING MY BACK.
GOD, FEELS GOOD.
I BET IT DOES.
I DON'T KNOW HOW I CAN
EVER THANK YOU GUYS ENOUGH.
I JUST WISH
I GOT OUT OF THERE
WITH THE HARD EVIDENCE.
HEY, AFTER
WHAT'S HAPPENED
I'VE GOT ALL THE PROOF
I NEED, BELIEVE ME.
THANKS AGAIN, GUYS.
YOU KNOW,
THERE IS SOMEBODY
WHO'D LIKE
TO TALK TO YOU.
I'M NOT READY FOR ANY REPORTERS.
SHE'S NOT
A REPORTER, PETE.
NANCY...
