The Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew Mysteries (1977–1979): Season 1, Episode 9 - The Mystery of the Flying Courier - full transcript
Frank thinks he sees a girl who went missing years ago. When he tries to talk to her she claims that she is someone else. Frank and Joe soon find that she's mixed up in something illegal.
? Now don't you worry
about being a star?
? It doesn't matter
who or what you are?
? Just get the rhythm,
and let it fill you?
? That's rock and roll?
[machine guns firing]
Frank, come on, this is
no time to be shell-shocked.
[tires screeching]
[honking]
Trouble.
From those kids?
Joe, Frank
is still in there.
Stop it!
(Callie)
Frank!
(male narrator)
Tonight, the Hardy Boys in
The Mystery of
the Flying Courier.
[plane engine humming]
(Frank)
Here we are.
(Marisa)
Look at this place.
[Marisa chuckling]
(Frank)
Ho-ho, here we go!
[Frank sighing]
(Callie) Hey, this disco
is right near an airport.
(Marisa) That's why Joe picked
it to make his singing debut.
(Chet) Yeah, if he bombs,
he can get out of town fast.
(Frank) Joe's group was
really together in practice.
They have never
sounded better.
(Chet) They are good.
I mean, I've heard them.
(Callie) I hope he makes
it. He sure deserves it.
(Chet)
Some place.
(Frank)
Oh, wait till you see inside.
She's in there now.
Then we'll wait.
Sooner or later
she'll come out.
[women laughing]
[all clapping]
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
This is AM radio.
This, of course,
is the old Tail Gunner.
I'm firing bursts
at you every night
from the 94th
Squadron HQ in Valley View.
Right now, Echoed Blast
is already on the deck.
So here we go with the new release
from the great Echoed Blast!
Was he really a flyer
during the war?
A Scrabble ace.
Zapped them with words
instead of bullets.
[all exclaiming]
That girl sitting
in the corner booth, I think-
No, no, I don't know her, and
I'm not going to introduce you.
You don't have
to introduce me.
I think
you do know her.
It's Suzie Wilkens.
The hair color's different.
Wasn't she the one that dropped
out of sight about three years ago?
She disappeared.
She hasn't contacted
her family since.
Dad was trying to track her
down for them,
but all his leads dried up.
If that's not her,
then it's a double.
Now we're going to be moving down
the flight line with some live sounds,
guaranteed to check out
your high-speed turns
and put you ladies
into some zero-g pullouts.
Tonight is talent night!
How about that?
Let's hear it.
This is it. Joe's on.
[people cheering]
And now a super stunt flyer
who's orbiting higher and higher,
grandstanding to a power
landing at the top of the charts,
it is Bayport's
own Joe Hardy!
[all clapping]
[crowd cheering]
?[music playing]
Yeah, Joe!
? I met her on a Monday
and my heart stood still?
? Da doo ron ron ron,
da doo ron ron?
? Somebody told me
that her name was Jill?
? Da doo ron ron ron,
da doo ron ron?
? Yeah, my heart stood still?
? Yeah, her name was Jill?
(Joe)
? And when I walked her home?
? Da doo ron ron ron,
da doo ron ron?
? I knew what she was thinking
when she caught my eye?
? Da doo ron ron ron,
da doo ron ron?
? She looked so quiet,
but my, oh, my?
? Da doo ron ron ron,
da doo ron ron?
? Yeah, she caught my eye?
? Yeah, oh, my, oh, my?
? And when
I walked her home?
? Da doo ron ron ron,
da doo ron ron?
You don't have the money?
Look, babe. I need time.
You don't have any left,
and neither do I.
You keep stalling,
you're going to be doing time.
Ho, that sounds
pretty heavy.
Yeah, it is. I need
that money by tomorrow.
Look, I can't do it.
It's your gig, anyway.
It's our gig. You jumped at the
chance when I gave it to you,
and it's our problem.
You have to help me.
Look, a couple of guys have been
in here asking questions about you.
I don't want any part of it.
Okay?
I told you, you're the one
who's going to get shot down,
but I can stop it from
happening, if you help me.
Otherwise, you're going to be
in as much trouble as I am.
(Joe)
? And when I walked her home?
Tomorrow.
? Da doo ron ron?
? Da doo ron ron ron,
da doo ron ron?
? Da doo ron ron ron,
da doo ron ron?
? Da doo ron ron ron,
da doo ron ron?
? Da doo ron ron ron,
da doo ron ron?
? Da doo ron ron ron,
da doo ron ron?
? Da doo ron ron ron,
da doo ron ron?
? Da doo ron ron ron,
da doo ron ron?
? Da doo ron ron ron,
da doo ron ron?
[people clapping]
(man)
More!
(man)
Come on, encore, encore!
That was great.
(man)
More!
?[music playing]
(Joe)
? Holiday, take me away?
? Summer's gone,
I can't find my way back?
Frank,
where are you going?
Frank, bring pretzels.
Hey, Suzie, Suzie, wait.
What do you want?
Who are you?
Come on, Suzie.
It's Frank, Frank Hardy.
Ah, you've made a mistake.
Tell me
you're not Suzie Wilkens.
Come on, pal. Drop it.
I'm not interested, okay?
Okay. It's just that
you're a twin
for a girl
I went to school with.
You even sound like her.
Well, that depends on
how you look at it.
The way I see it,
maybe she sounds like me.
(Joe)
? Close your eyes?
? And tell me that
you love me now?
? And never let me go?
? Just want you to know?
Was it Suzie Wilkens?
Yes and no.
? Holiday, take me away?
? Summer's gone,
I can't find my way back?
Excuse me, miss.
Police officers.
We'd like to ask you
a couple of questions.
Your driver's license,
please.
Undercover cops.
What is it?
What do you want?
We'd just like to ask you
about some tapes.
Tapes?
I have no idea about any
tapes. I don't understand.
Now take is easy,
just tell us where they are.
But I don't know what
you're talking about.
Then, I'm afraid, you're gonna
have to come with us.
Better read her
her rights.
Come on.
You have the right
to remain silent-
Excuse me.
I know this girl.
Maybe I can help.
Friend of yours, miss?
I've never saw him
before in my life.
Come on, Suzie, why
don't you let me help you?
My name is not Suzie.
No, you must be mistaken.
I can tell you
her name not Suzie.
It's Sandra,
Sandra Walford.
Let's go.
[crickets chirping]
You going to
have to speak up, Frank.
It sounds like that phone
is wired into an amplifier.
Of course
I remember Suzie.
I spent months
trying to find her.
Her parents never got
over the way she left home.
What about her?
I saw her tonight
here at the disco.
Did you talk with her?
Is she still there?
Yeah, I talked to her,
but she denied she was Suzie.
She's gone now, she was
picked up by the police.
That should be easy to check.
Are you sure it was her?
Yeah, her hair color is changed a
little bit. She's using an alias,
but it looked like Suzie.
It even sounded like her.
I'm sure
it was her, Dad.
You're in Valley View,
aren't you?
That's right.
Get over to
police headquarters,
and see what you can find out
and then call me.
I cared a lot about
that case, about Suzie.
Yeah. Me, too.
Bye.
I'll be back.
Back?
Why are you leaving?
What about Joe?
Look, can you
cover for me?
I think
this is important.
I'm going over
to the police station.
That girl was in trouble.
?[harmonizing]
[people clapping]
Sorry, we don't have
a Sandy Walford in custody.
That's just an alias.
I saw her arrested.
Her real name
is Suzie Wilkens.
We made two arrests
this evening.
Both of them were men.
Maybe it was the state police
or one of the federal agencies.
Well, I could run an inquiry,
check it out.
What did you say
her name was?
Walford, Sandy Walford.
The other one?
Suzie Wilkens.
Okay, might as well
check them both out.
You never can tell
with people who use an alias.
It's going to
take a while.
I'll check back.
Okay.
Thanks.
[phone ringing]
? What do you want to do??
? I want to be with you,
I want to be with you?
He's pretty good.
? Want to, want to, want to,
want to be with you?
? I want to be with you?
? I want to be with you?
[people clapping]
[people cheering]
What did they say?
Why did they arrest her?
They said
they didn't arrest her.
What're you doing?
Was it that bad?
No. It was terrific.
Which one?
They were all great.
Even the ballad?
Yeah, it was dynamite.
I didn't do a ballad.
He wasn't here, Joe.
Callie.
I know. M-Mind telling
me what's goin' on?
Yeah, official business.
Do you remember Suzie Wilkens?
From Bayport.
That's a tough request.
Would you settle for
Sweet Betsy From Pike?
(Frank)
Come on, Joe, I'm serious.
Isn't she the one
who disappeared?
And who was just arrested
in the parking lot.
Arrested?
Oh, you just said
she wasn't arrested.
Well, she's using
an alias.
I went to her car to look for
some identification. It was gone.
The parking lot attendant
said it was towed away.
I'm finished here.
Let's go and see
if we can find it. Come on.
That's Suzie's car.
They're looking
for something.
Who do you think
they are?
The wreckers,
who else?
I'd rather we didn't
challenge them on that.
(Callie)
I'd rather not be here.
I'd rather we'd gotten here
before they removed the plates.
Keep an eye on them.
I'll check out the car.
[mechanical rumbling]
(Joe)
Frank, get out of the car!
(Joe)
Frank, get out!
Joe, Frank
is still in there.
Come on.
(Callie)
Frank, jump out!
Jump, Frank, jump!
He can't.
The fall will kill him.
Joe, do something.
Come on.
[crane humming]
(Joe)
Stop the crane!
Somebody
stop the crane!
(Callie) He's never
going to hear us. Frank!
Stop it!
(Callie)
Frank!
Frank!
(Callie)
Frank!
Stop it!
Wait!
Joe!
[crane humming]
Oh, Joe,
what am I going to do?
Oh, Joe, what about me?
Frank!
Here, give me a hand,
you two.
[sighing]
[sighing]
Frank, I thought-
I thought you were in there.
I did, too, for a minute.
Frank,
you scared us half to death.
Almost three-quarters.
I'm okay. Let's go.
Why do I get the feeling that
this was a lot easier on you
than it was on us?
[Frank chuckling]
(Fenton) Well, I must admit
I was a little concerned
when you first walked in,
but what you've told me
certainly explains
why you all look as though
you have been fighting the 94th
Squadron instead of dancing at it.
I admire your persistence,
but, uh,
it was a dangerous
thing to do.
I know, Dad,
but I think it paid off.
I found this in her car
before I jumped.
What's this?
(Frank) It's Suzie
Wilkens' paycheck stub.
this could be the best lead
I've had on Suzie in three years.
I'll run a check on it
first thing in the morning.
Miles,
what're you doing here?
I just knew you'd need a lift.
That's all.
Do you know
something about my car?
You know,
you brought this on yourself.
Come on, get in the car.
That's right.
Suzie Wilkens.
The employee
I.D. number is 6489.
I see.
You're positive of that?
Can you tell me who does
have that I.D. number?
Okay.
Thank you very much, Captain.
Capt. Phelps
cross-checked the name
with the employee
I.D. number.
And Suzie Wilkens
is not and never was
an employee of
East Coast Airlines.
It wasn't her.
Then who was it?
This belongs to a stewardess
named Sandy Walford.
That's just an alias.
I'm positive it was her.
It had to be!
Son, I have
faith in your judgment.
You know that.
But we have two pieces of I.D.
to the contrary.
And I've got 10 minutes
to get to a meeting
that's 20 minutes
across town.
(Frank) Well, maybe her
family's heard something.
I don't want to contact
her family yet.
It may not be her.
And it will be cruel
to get their hopes up.
[door closing]
Sandy Walford,
Valley View.
What do you think, Joe?
You think it's safe to show
your face back in Valley View?
I'll have to get a police escort
to protect me from the fans.
Well, if you need it, you
got it. That's a promise.
What are you
guys up to?
We are going to
find us a girl.
Maybe two.
[door closing]
[machinery humming]
[sighing]
You see those men
out there, Sandy?
You know, just about everyone
of them has a family to support.
As do my men in a half dozen other
plants just exactly like this one.
What does this
have to do with my car?
You see,
when I'm short on product,
I actually have to lay
some of those poor guys off.
Now am I making my point?
I need those tapes, Sandy.
I told you my terms.
If you don't like them,
you're going to have to
get them yourself.
Oh, that's true.
But I'm going to tell you
one more time, sweetheart.
I do not want
any direct contact
with those
ding-a-ling talky radio types.
They've trouble telling
the difference
between teenyboppers and
FCC Commissioners, you know?
Then you'll have to deal
with me, won't you?
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, and it's been a real pleasure,
up until just about right now.
Come on, I'm going to
take you to your car.
Why did you
bring me here?
I told you,
I'd take you to your car.
Don't you recognize it,
Sandy?
I don't think
that's very funny.
Ah, come on, Sandy.
It's the little
red one, right here.
Why did you do that?
You see, when I couldn't find
what I was looking for
I got little angry.
That's what happens when I think
a friend's been lying to me.
I'm not lying to you.
Those tapes are more valuable
than the others.
Maybe. But I got a strange
feeling that something's going on.
I mean, you didn't go to
the cops, did you, Sandy?
You know I wouldn't do that.
Oh, that's right.
We were more than business
partners, weren't we?
So, trust me.
Oh, I do.
You just bring me the tapes and
I'll know everything is just fine.
Otherwise, we're going to play
patty-cake with another car.
And this time
somebody's going to be in it.
Now do you understand that?
You know
I don't have them on me.
I just need
a little more time.
When? Where?
Tonight. At the disco.
All right.
I'm going to be there,
and you better show up.
'Cause you're a fool
if you don't.
See you, Sandy.
[knocking on door]
Suzie? Anyone here?
Suzie?
Suzie?
Suzie?
She's not here.
Not very tidy either,
is she?
Looks like your room.
Her television,
stereo, still here.
It's not
your ordinary robber.
Whoever it was had to be
looking for something.
Some really
fine stuff in here.
It's pretty fancy
on a stew's salary.
This is the same tape that Tail
Gunner was playing in the disco.
"Echoed Blast. "
Presale over $1 million.
Aren't these sent out to key
disc jockeys ahead of the release?
Someone like Tail Gunner.
Well, she must know him.
Where else could
she have gotten it?
She must know him
pretty well, too.
[plane engine humming]
?[music playing]
You don't look
too happy, Gunner.
Didn't find them, huh?
No, you were right.
I told you
she's not bluffing.
The tapes are in a
safe-deposit box like she says.
Last night
she didn't have a key on her.
She was convinced
we were cops.
We took her for
a little ride and pressed her.
She wouldn't budge.
Answers my question.
Yeah.
I think you better
take her seriously.
Oh, I am.
And why not just
give her the money,
get the tapes back
and forget she exists?
Where is she?
We decided
not to keep her.
That would be kidnapping.
That's a lot heavier
than impersonating a cop.
Hmm,
she was pretty scared, though.
The trouble is, so am I.
You know,
she could put us all in jail.
She's so shook that
now she's ready to deal
with whoever pays
her price first.
Well, then I guess we'd better
do something about her, huh?
(Frank) That's the car those
cops were driving last night
when they arrested Suzie.
Then maybe this isn't
such a hot idea.
I'm the one
that almost bought it
in the wrecking
yard last night.
I say we go inside, carefully.
Come on.
?[music playing]
Uh, guys,
we're closed.
We're looking for someone.
Her name is Sandy Walford.
We thought you might tell us
where we could find her.
Why me?
She said she was a very
close friend of yours.
Yeah, well,
all the little girls do.
Yeah.
Uh, you don't know her?
Casually.
[phone ringing]
Oh, see you.
Excuse me, buddy.
Sure is low
on ammo today, isn't he?
Yeah, blanks.
Every one of them.
I wonder why.
Let's find out.
Yeah, at-at
the Reverb Studios. Okay.
I'll pick it up
in 10 minutes.
[door closing]
(Frank)
Let's stick around
and see if we can find out
what Suzie was doing here.
She left the table for a while
and then came back.
She stayed for a couple of
minutes and left on the run.
I wonder why
she came back to the table.
To get her purse?
No, she had it
with her.
She sat down,
powdered her nose, and left.
Why would she come back to
the table to powder her nose?
Exactly. I'm going
to look around here.
Why don't you
check the console?
[guns firing]
[missiles whistling]
[gunfire continues]
[gunfire stops]
You can come out now.
Come on, this is no time
to be shell-shocked.
Somebody might
have heard that alarm.
I'm not shell-shocked.
I found something.
Come here.
Guess who was sitting here
last night?
Suzie?
You mean we found what
those guys were looking for?
[tires screeching]
Sounds like
your police escort is here.
Never break
a promise do you, Frank?
Now if you supplied
the mob of screaming fans,
we could say we're in here
hiding from them.
What do you mean "we"?
[footsteps approaching]
(Phelps) Then you went
there to find that girl
you were asking
about last night?
(Frank)
That's right.
Do you know
this young lady?
Sandy Walford.
Any idea why she was arrested
outside your discotheque?
Well, I've made my inquires.
Neither the state police
or any federal agency
has any knowledge
of her whereabouts.
She wasn't arrested or anybody
that bears her description.
Those men had badges.
They identified themselves
as police officers.
They may have used the badges as a
way of convincing her to go with them.
(Joe)
To abduct her quietly.
Considering the other
incidents that have taken place,
I'm afraid, Joe's right,
I think she's in danger.
Now, my men have
all this information.
And they'll find her
if she's in Valley View.
But what are
these other incidents?
Last night,
her car was towed away,
searched, and then destroyed.
Your dad mentioned that
when he called this morning.
We're working on it.
Today her apartment was
searched and almost destroyed.
Now this is first
I've heard about that.
We think this is what
they were looking for.
I thought those
markings looked familiar.
This key is to a safe-deposit
box at Valley View Federal.
I have got one here myself.
What do you think, Captain?
I think we've got enough reasons
to take a look in that box.
Oh, uh, thanks for coming
down, Mr. Turner.
I assume you're not
going to press charges
since there was no harm done.
No. No harm done.
Goodbye, I, uh, I'll be
seeing you.
Yeah, put me through
to Judge Benton, please.
Trouble.
From those kids?
And the cops, too.
You mean,
she gave them the tapes?
She didn't have to.
They've got the key.
They're going
to get the tapes.
According to them,
someone has to be pushing
Sandy from the other side.
That's heat
I haven't figured on.
Come on. Let's go.
(Phelps) Now let's see
what this is all about.
(Frank) Looks like
somebody beat us to it.
Well, let's get a look at the
signature card for this box.
That number sounds
awfully familiar.
Yes, here it is.
Miss Walford was in just
about an hour ago.
It seems
she had lost her key,
and after she properly
identified herself,
we had to open
the box for her.
Yeah, signature matches
the previous ones.
Can you describe her?
Certainly.
Uh, rather tall,
dark hair, fair complexion,
a very attractive girl.
Pretty.
She had a rather low voice.
Yeah, that's her.
She must be in real trouble.
She might have been abducted,
maybe escaped and came here to get
some money. Now she's on the run.
[phone ringing]
Yes.
It's for you.
Yeah.
Okay.
Well,
we're going to find out.
We just picked her up
at a movie theatre.
Thank you.
(Phelps)
All we want to know is,
are you Sandra Walford
or are you Suzie Wilkens?
Yes, I am Suzie Wilkens.
It's really touching
that so many people
are interested
in my well-being.
But as you can all see,
I'm just superfine.
How is it you were arrested
and I can't find
a record of it anywhere?
I was picked up by a couple
of federal hot dogs.
They realized
they made a mistake.
They let me go.
Your car.
You know it was demolished?
I've been trying to get that
clunker towed away all week.
Suzie, your apartment
was turned inside out.
The key to your
safe-deposit box,
we found at the discotheque.
Boy!
You guys are something else.
Tell me, Captain, do you have any
reason to keep me here any longer?
No.
No legal grounds.
'Cause these
amateur detectives
have caused me
enough trouble.
See, I was about
to enjoy a movie
and if you don't mind,
I'd like to split
and catch the next show.
Suzie, we were just
trying to help.
Yeah, just like your father
three years ago.
He had me
on the run every minute
until I established a new
identity and became a stewardess.
No. I don't need any help.
Are you sure you aren't
in some kind of danger?
The sooner I split, the sooner
my troubles are over. Bye.
It's getting late. I got to get
back to the rehearsal at the disco.
Can you get a ride
back by yourself?
Yeah, I guess I could,
if the guys in the band...
My brother.
Suzie, Suzie, look,
I didn't mean to interfere.
It's okay. Forget it.
All right. Can I give you
a ride anywhere?
No. I'll be fine.
All right.
I'll see you.
[car engine starting]
Uh, I decided
to accept your offer.
Where to?
Uh, just up ahead.
I'll show you.
[tires screeching]
All right,
what is it?
Tell me.
Look, you can trust me.
[tires screeching]
The man that's following us.
Who is he?
It's-it's-it's
Quentin Miles.
He- he's into a lot
of businesses.
Like a wrecking yard?
Yes.
What else?
Come on, Suzie, which one
are you involved in?
Records. He manufacturers
illegal records, too.
He's a record pirate.
Right.
[tires screeching]
So why does he
want to hurt you?
I'm the go-between,
Frank.
I get the demos for him.
From Tail Gunner.
[tires screeching]
That doesn't
answer my question.
Well, I told Miles
I'm holding back his copy
of the demo
to get more money.
There's got to be
more to it than that.
Yeah, there is
and Miles is suspicious.
[tires screeching]
But it's all going to be over
in a couple of hours.
I'm splitting for good,
as soon as I sell the tapes
back to Tail Gunner.
[cars honking]
[tires screeching]
[sighing]
[sighing]
Sell the tapes
back to Tail Gunner.
Sounds like you're going to
get more than you paid for them.
Why are they so valuable now?
Because they're a trap.
He didn't know, but I found
out after I sold them to him.
I heard another demo
in California.
It was different.
How was it different?
The first track was different
than it was here.
I called three more DJ's
who had the same demo.
And all of them had the tracks
arranged in different sequences.
So, the recording company
coded the tapes.
So they could identify which disc
jockey was supplying the pirates.
Right.
And if I sell them to Miles,
and he makes records
out of them,
they will know Tail Gunner was the
source when they hit the market,
then it'll all come down.
And you're in the middle.
More than you think, they
don't even know each other.
Oh, Frank,
I-I don't want to go to jail.
I ran away
from one at home.
Always being told what to do,
how to dress, who to be.
Who are you, Suzie?
Do you know?
You used to be so together,
so perceptive.
What happened
to that person?
I-I haven't been together
for a long time, Frank.
I didn't even realize
what I was getting into.
All I wanted to do was to get
the money and get out of here.
It's all right.
I want you to tell my father
everything you've told me.
He'll know
how to handle this.
Okay.
[car engine starting]
Frank, I appreciate your
caring and wanting to help.
[tires screeching]
But this isn't
going to work.
(Frank)
Suzie, wait!
(Frank)
Hey, you're blocking the road.
[horn honking]
Hold your shirt
on a second, buddy.
What's the matter with you?
Suzie!
Suzie!
(Frank)
Suzie, wait.
Damn.
[phone ringing]
Yeah.
(Suzie)
It's me.
What do you want?
The cops have the tapes,
I told you.
I don't have time for you.
I got to get out of here.
No, they don't. Wait.
What are you talking about?
Of course they have it.
The-the-the kids
found the key.
But I beat them
to the safe-deposit box,
I have the tapes
and I can meet you tonight.
You have the money
with you?
Yeah, yeah, I have it, uh.
Okay, I'll be here.
?[music playing]
You really think Suzie
is going to show up here?
She can't go to Miles.
She's too afraid.
The only person
she can go to for money
is her source
for the demo tapes.
The one who is going to be
hurt if they're released.
Tail Gunner?
Yeah, the one and only.
(Tail Gunner)
All right! All right!
Yeah, now that was
the Lightning,
that was the Lightning with
thunder in their machines.
Great sounds
for the hip towns.
Now it's time
for live jive on 72.45.
How about that, huh?
[all cheering]
Okay, Joe Hardy
has returned to base.
He's going to play it
right in your face.
Stick around
and catch the show this time.
[people clapping]
As the old King would say
in Command Decision...
"Get your bombardiers up here
or drop it on them. "
That's right, Eddie.
[people cheering]
?[music playing]
? I met her on a Monday
and my heart stood still?
? Da doo ron ron ron,
da doo ron ron?
? Somebody told me
that her name was Jill?
? Da doo ron ron ron,
da doo ron ron?
? Yeah, my heart stood still?
? Yeah, her name was Jill?
? And when I walked her home?
? Da doo ron ron ron,
da doo ron ron?
? I knew what she was thinking
when she caught my eye?
? Da doo ron ron ron,
da doo ron ron?
? She looked so quiet
but my, oh, my?
? Da doo ron ron ron,
da doo ron ron?
? Yeah, she caught my eye?
? Yeah, oh, my, oh, my?
This is all
I could put together.
It will get me
where I'm going.
You don't have to go anywhere. Frank.
I talked to my dad. He said
if you stay and tell the police
what you know,
you don't have to worry.
Police?
What are you talking about?
What is this, some
kind of a game? Come on.
? Da doo ron ron ron,
da doo ron ron?
Miles.
? Da doo ron ron ron,
da doo ron ron?
(band member) Joe, you're
supposed to be singing.
[guns firing]
[people clamoring]
[tires screeching]
[people screaming]
(Phelps) All right,
come on, break it up.
Now get those two.
Get them out of here.
Are you all right?
Am I all right?
Are you all right?
I'm fine. I'm fine.
Thank you.
I think
the group's got potential.
Why?
This is first time
we ever caused a real riot.
[chuckling]
(Phelps)
Tail Gunner, the tape pirate.
How do you like that one?
You know, I can't decide whether
you shot him down or sunk his ship.
[all laughing]
If you ask me, he should
have bailed out, either way.
On that note, I think
I'm going to do the same.
Suzie had been
doing that for too long.
Well, it's never
too late to stop.
What Suzie told
Judge Benton this morning
was the best way
she could have done it.
Well, with the support
of her friends, her testimony,
and existing circumstances,
he should be lenient on her.
And there are two people that
you left off your list, Frank.
Her parents.
She talked to them
this morning.
After this whole thing
is over,
she's going to be spending
a lot more time at home.
This is a song we worked out
just this morning.
Feel free to clap your hands,
do whatever you feel.
It's called
That's Rock 'n Roll.
? Well, I was 16
and sick of school?
? I didn't know
what I wanted to do?
Come on and dance with me.
Come on.
No. No, no, I can't.
[chuckling]
? I played at parties,
played in bars?
? I spent my money
buying new guitars?
? I screamed my heart out,
but how I loved it?
? That's rock and roll?
? Well, come on, everybody,
get down and get with it?
? Well, come on, everybody,
get down and get with it?
? Well, come on, everybody,
get down?
? That's rock and roll?
? It's when the smoking
and the heat?
? Have got your heart
pounding right with the beat?
? Don't try to fight it,
just get excited?
? That's rock and roll?
? Now don't you worry
about being a star?
? It doesn't matter
who or what you are?
? Just get the rhythm
and let it fill you?
? That's rock and roll?
? Well, come on, everybody,
get down and get with it?
? Well, come on, everybody,
get down and get with it?
? Come on, everybody,
get down?
? That's rock and roll?
? Well, come on, everybody,
get down and get with it?
? Come on, everybody,
get down and get with it?
? Come on, everybody,
get down?
? That's rock and roll?
? And if you feel it,
clap your hands?
? Let's see some sweat
for the boys in the band?
? Now let me hear you,
let me hear you?
? That's rock and roll?
? Well, come on, everybody,
get down and get with it?
? Come on, everybody,
get down and get with it?
? Come on, everybody,
get down?
? That's rock and roll?
? Whoa, yeah?
? Well, come on, everybody,
get down and get with it?
? Come on, everybody,
get down and get with it?
? Come on, everybody,
get down?
? That's rock and roll?
? Whoa, whoa, whoa?
about being a star?
? It doesn't matter
who or what you are?
? Just get the rhythm,
and let it fill you?
? That's rock and roll?
[machine guns firing]
Frank, come on, this is
no time to be shell-shocked.
[tires screeching]
[honking]
Trouble.
From those kids?
Joe, Frank
is still in there.
Stop it!
(Callie)
Frank!
(male narrator)
Tonight, the Hardy Boys in
The Mystery of
the Flying Courier.
[plane engine humming]
(Frank)
Here we are.
(Marisa)
Look at this place.
[Marisa chuckling]
(Frank)
Ho-ho, here we go!
[Frank sighing]
(Callie) Hey, this disco
is right near an airport.
(Marisa) That's why Joe picked
it to make his singing debut.
(Chet) Yeah, if he bombs,
he can get out of town fast.
(Frank) Joe's group was
really together in practice.
They have never
sounded better.
(Chet) They are good.
I mean, I've heard them.
(Callie) I hope he makes
it. He sure deserves it.
(Chet)
Some place.
(Frank)
Oh, wait till you see inside.
She's in there now.
Then we'll wait.
Sooner or later
she'll come out.
[women laughing]
[all clapping]
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
This is AM radio.
This, of course,
is the old Tail Gunner.
I'm firing bursts
at you every night
from the 94th
Squadron HQ in Valley View.
Right now, Echoed Blast
is already on the deck.
So here we go with the new release
from the great Echoed Blast!
Was he really a flyer
during the war?
A Scrabble ace.
Zapped them with words
instead of bullets.
[all exclaiming]
That girl sitting
in the corner booth, I think-
No, no, I don't know her, and
I'm not going to introduce you.
You don't have
to introduce me.
I think
you do know her.
It's Suzie Wilkens.
The hair color's different.
Wasn't she the one that dropped
out of sight about three years ago?
She disappeared.
She hasn't contacted
her family since.
Dad was trying to track her
down for them,
but all his leads dried up.
If that's not her,
then it's a double.
Now we're going to be moving down
the flight line with some live sounds,
guaranteed to check out
your high-speed turns
and put you ladies
into some zero-g pullouts.
Tonight is talent night!
How about that?
Let's hear it.
This is it. Joe's on.
[people cheering]
And now a super stunt flyer
who's orbiting higher and higher,
grandstanding to a power
landing at the top of the charts,
it is Bayport's
own Joe Hardy!
[all clapping]
[crowd cheering]
?[music playing]
Yeah, Joe!
? I met her on a Monday
and my heart stood still?
? Da doo ron ron ron,
da doo ron ron?
? Somebody told me
that her name was Jill?
? Da doo ron ron ron,
da doo ron ron?
? Yeah, my heart stood still?
? Yeah, her name was Jill?
(Joe)
? And when I walked her home?
? Da doo ron ron ron,
da doo ron ron?
? I knew what she was thinking
when she caught my eye?
? Da doo ron ron ron,
da doo ron ron?
? She looked so quiet,
but my, oh, my?
? Da doo ron ron ron,
da doo ron ron?
? Yeah, she caught my eye?
? Yeah, oh, my, oh, my?
? And when
I walked her home?
? Da doo ron ron ron,
da doo ron ron?
You don't have the money?
Look, babe. I need time.
You don't have any left,
and neither do I.
You keep stalling,
you're going to be doing time.
Ho, that sounds
pretty heavy.
Yeah, it is. I need
that money by tomorrow.
Look, I can't do it.
It's your gig, anyway.
It's our gig. You jumped at the
chance when I gave it to you,
and it's our problem.
You have to help me.
Look, a couple of guys have been
in here asking questions about you.
I don't want any part of it.
Okay?
I told you, you're the one
who's going to get shot down,
but I can stop it from
happening, if you help me.
Otherwise, you're going to be
in as much trouble as I am.
(Joe)
? And when I walked her home?
Tomorrow.
? Da doo ron ron?
? Da doo ron ron ron,
da doo ron ron?
? Da doo ron ron ron,
da doo ron ron?
? Da doo ron ron ron,
da doo ron ron?
? Da doo ron ron ron,
da doo ron ron?
? Da doo ron ron ron,
da doo ron ron?
? Da doo ron ron ron,
da doo ron ron?
? Da doo ron ron ron,
da doo ron ron?
? Da doo ron ron ron,
da doo ron ron?
[people clapping]
(man)
More!
(man)
Come on, encore, encore!
That was great.
(man)
More!
?[music playing]
(Joe)
? Holiday, take me away?
? Summer's gone,
I can't find my way back?
Frank,
where are you going?
Frank, bring pretzels.
Hey, Suzie, Suzie, wait.
What do you want?
Who are you?
Come on, Suzie.
It's Frank, Frank Hardy.
Ah, you've made a mistake.
Tell me
you're not Suzie Wilkens.
Come on, pal. Drop it.
I'm not interested, okay?
Okay. It's just that
you're a twin
for a girl
I went to school with.
You even sound like her.
Well, that depends on
how you look at it.
The way I see it,
maybe she sounds like me.
(Joe)
? Close your eyes?
? And tell me that
you love me now?
? And never let me go?
? Just want you to know?
Was it Suzie Wilkens?
Yes and no.
? Holiday, take me away?
? Summer's gone,
I can't find my way back?
Excuse me, miss.
Police officers.
We'd like to ask you
a couple of questions.
Your driver's license,
please.
Undercover cops.
What is it?
What do you want?
We'd just like to ask you
about some tapes.
Tapes?
I have no idea about any
tapes. I don't understand.
Now take is easy,
just tell us where they are.
But I don't know what
you're talking about.
Then, I'm afraid, you're gonna
have to come with us.
Better read her
her rights.
Come on.
You have the right
to remain silent-
Excuse me.
I know this girl.
Maybe I can help.
Friend of yours, miss?
I've never saw him
before in my life.
Come on, Suzie, why
don't you let me help you?
My name is not Suzie.
No, you must be mistaken.
I can tell you
her name not Suzie.
It's Sandra,
Sandra Walford.
Let's go.
[crickets chirping]
You going to
have to speak up, Frank.
It sounds like that phone
is wired into an amplifier.
Of course
I remember Suzie.
I spent months
trying to find her.
Her parents never got
over the way she left home.
What about her?
I saw her tonight
here at the disco.
Did you talk with her?
Is she still there?
Yeah, I talked to her,
but she denied she was Suzie.
She's gone now, she was
picked up by the police.
That should be easy to check.
Are you sure it was her?
Yeah, her hair color is changed a
little bit. She's using an alias,
but it looked like Suzie.
It even sounded like her.
I'm sure
it was her, Dad.
You're in Valley View,
aren't you?
That's right.
Get over to
police headquarters,
and see what you can find out
and then call me.
I cared a lot about
that case, about Suzie.
Yeah. Me, too.
Bye.
I'll be back.
Back?
Why are you leaving?
What about Joe?
Look, can you
cover for me?
I think
this is important.
I'm going over
to the police station.
That girl was in trouble.
?[harmonizing]
[people clapping]
Sorry, we don't have
a Sandy Walford in custody.
That's just an alias.
I saw her arrested.
Her real name
is Suzie Wilkens.
We made two arrests
this evening.
Both of them were men.
Maybe it was the state police
or one of the federal agencies.
Well, I could run an inquiry,
check it out.
What did you say
her name was?
Walford, Sandy Walford.
The other one?
Suzie Wilkens.
Okay, might as well
check them both out.
You never can tell
with people who use an alias.
It's going to
take a while.
I'll check back.
Okay.
Thanks.
[phone ringing]
? What do you want to do??
? I want to be with you,
I want to be with you?
He's pretty good.
? Want to, want to, want to,
want to be with you?
? I want to be with you?
? I want to be with you?
[people clapping]
[people cheering]
What did they say?
Why did they arrest her?
They said
they didn't arrest her.
What're you doing?
Was it that bad?
No. It was terrific.
Which one?
They were all great.
Even the ballad?
Yeah, it was dynamite.
I didn't do a ballad.
He wasn't here, Joe.
Callie.
I know. M-Mind telling
me what's goin' on?
Yeah, official business.
Do you remember Suzie Wilkens?
From Bayport.
That's a tough request.
Would you settle for
Sweet Betsy From Pike?
(Frank)
Come on, Joe, I'm serious.
Isn't she the one
who disappeared?
And who was just arrested
in the parking lot.
Arrested?
Oh, you just said
she wasn't arrested.
Well, she's using
an alias.
I went to her car to look for
some identification. It was gone.
The parking lot attendant
said it was towed away.
I'm finished here.
Let's go and see
if we can find it. Come on.
That's Suzie's car.
They're looking
for something.
Who do you think
they are?
The wreckers,
who else?
I'd rather we didn't
challenge them on that.
(Callie)
I'd rather not be here.
I'd rather we'd gotten here
before they removed the plates.
Keep an eye on them.
I'll check out the car.
[mechanical rumbling]
(Joe)
Frank, get out of the car!
(Joe)
Frank, get out!
Joe, Frank
is still in there.
Come on.
(Callie)
Frank, jump out!
Jump, Frank, jump!
He can't.
The fall will kill him.
Joe, do something.
Come on.
[crane humming]
(Joe)
Stop the crane!
Somebody
stop the crane!
(Callie) He's never
going to hear us. Frank!
Stop it!
(Callie)
Frank!
Frank!
(Callie)
Frank!
Stop it!
Wait!
Joe!
[crane humming]
Oh, Joe,
what am I going to do?
Oh, Joe, what about me?
Frank!
Here, give me a hand,
you two.
[sighing]
[sighing]
Frank, I thought-
I thought you were in there.
I did, too, for a minute.
Frank,
you scared us half to death.
Almost three-quarters.
I'm okay. Let's go.
Why do I get the feeling that
this was a lot easier on you
than it was on us?
[Frank chuckling]
(Fenton) Well, I must admit
I was a little concerned
when you first walked in,
but what you've told me
certainly explains
why you all look as though
you have been fighting the 94th
Squadron instead of dancing at it.
I admire your persistence,
but, uh,
it was a dangerous
thing to do.
I know, Dad,
but I think it paid off.
I found this in her car
before I jumped.
What's this?
(Frank) It's Suzie
Wilkens' paycheck stub.
this could be the best lead
I've had on Suzie in three years.
I'll run a check on it
first thing in the morning.
Miles,
what're you doing here?
I just knew you'd need a lift.
That's all.
Do you know
something about my car?
You know,
you brought this on yourself.
Come on, get in the car.
That's right.
Suzie Wilkens.
The employee
I.D. number is 6489.
I see.
You're positive of that?
Can you tell me who does
have that I.D. number?
Okay.
Thank you very much, Captain.
Capt. Phelps
cross-checked the name
with the employee
I.D. number.
And Suzie Wilkens
is not and never was
an employee of
East Coast Airlines.
It wasn't her.
Then who was it?
This belongs to a stewardess
named Sandy Walford.
That's just an alias.
I'm positive it was her.
It had to be!
Son, I have
faith in your judgment.
You know that.
But we have two pieces of I.D.
to the contrary.
And I've got 10 minutes
to get to a meeting
that's 20 minutes
across town.
(Frank) Well, maybe her
family's heard something.
I don't want to contact
her family yet.
It may not be her.
And it will be cruel
to get their hopes up.
[door closing]
Sandy Walford,
Valley View.
What do you think, Joe?
You think it's safe to show
your face back in Valley View?
I'll have to get a police escort
to protect me from the fans.
Well, if you need it, you
got it. That's a promise.
What are you
guys up to?
We are going to
find us a girl.
Maybe two.
[door closing]
[machinery humming]
[sighing]
You see those men
out there, Sandy?
You know, just about everyone
of them has a family to support.
As do my men in a half dozen other
plants just exactly like this one.
What does this
have to do with my car?
You see,
when I'm short on product,
I actually have to lay
some of those poor guys off.
Now am I making my point?
I need those tapes, Sandy.
I told you my terms.
If you don't like them,
you're going to have to
get them yourself.
Oh, that's true.
But I'm going to tell you
one more time, sweetheart.
I do not want
any direct contact
with those
ding-a-ling talky radio types.
They've trouble telling
the difference
between teenyboppers and
FCC Commissioners, you know?
Then you'll have to deal
with me, won't you?
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, and it's been a real pleasure,
up until just about right now.
Come on, I'm going to
take you to your car.
Why did you
bring me here?
I told you,
I'd take you to your car.
Don't you recognize it,
Sandy?
I don't think
that's very funny.
Ah, come on, Sandy.
It's the little
red one, right here.
Why did you do that?
You see, when I couldn't find
what I was looking for
I got little angry.
That's what happens when I think
a friend's been lying to me.
I'm not lying to you.
Those tapes are more valuable
than the others.
Maybe. But I got a strange
feeling that something's going on.
I mean, you didn't go to
the cops, did you, Sandy?
You know I wouldn't do that.
Oh, that's right.
We were more than business
partners, weren't we?
So, trust me.
Oh, I do.
You just bring me the tapes and
I'll know everything is just fine.
Otherwise, we're going to play
patty-cake with another car.
And this time
somebody's going to be in it.
Now do you understand that?
You know
I don't have them on me.
I just need
a little more time.
When? Where?
Tonight. At the disco.
All right.
I'm going to be there,
and you better show up.
'Cause you're a fool
if you don't.
See you, Sandy.
[knocking on door]
Suzie? Anyone here?
Suzie?
Suzie?
Suzie?
She's not here.
Not very tidy either,
is she?
Looks like your room.
Her television,
stereo, still here.
It's not
your ordinary robber.
Whoever it was had to be
looking for something.
Some really
fine stuff in here.
It's pretty fancy
on a stew's salary.
This is the same tape that Tail
Gunner was playing in the disco.
"Echoed Blast. "
Presale over $1 million.
Aren't these sent out to key
disc jockeys ahead of the release?
Someone like Tail Gunner.
Well, she must know him.
Where else could
she have gotten it?
She must know him
pretty well, too.
[plane engine humming]
?[music playing]
You don't look
too happy, Gunner.
Didn't find them, huh?
No, you were right.
I told you
she's not bluffing.
The tapes are in a
safe-deposit box like she says.
Last night
she didn't have a key on her.
She was convinced
we were cops.
We took her for
a little ride and pressed her.
She wouldn't budge.
Answers my question.
Yeah.
I think you better
take her seriously.
Oh, I am.
And why not just
give her the money,
get the tapes back
and forget she exists?
Where is she?
We decided
not to keep her.
That would be kidnapping.
That's a lot heavier
than impersonating a cop.
Hmm,
she was pretty scared, though.
The trouble is, so am I.
You know,
she could put us all in jail.
She's so shook that
now she's ready to deal
with whoever pays
her price first.
Well, then I guess we'd better
do something about her, huh?
(Frank) That's the car those
cops were driving last night
when they arrested Suzie.
Then maybe this isn't
such a hot idea.
I'm the one
that almost bought it
in the wrecking
yard last night.
I say we go inside, carefully.
Come on.
?[music playing]
Uh, guys,
we're closed.
We're looking for someone.
Her name is Sandy Walford.
We thought you might tell us
where we could find her.
Why me?
She said she was a very
close friend of yours.
Yeah, well,
all the little girls do.
Yeah.
Uh, you don't know her?
Casually.
[phone ringing]
Oh, see you.
Excuse me, buddy.
Sure is low
on ammo today, isn't he?
Yeah, blanks.
Every one of them.
I wonder why.
Let's find out.
Yeah, at-at
the Reverb Studios. Okay.
I'll pick it up
in 10 minutes.
[door closing]
(Frank)
Let's stick around
and see if we can find out
what Suzie was doing here.
She left the table for a while
and then came back.
She stayed for a couple of
minutes and left on the run.
I wonder why
she came back to the table.
To get her purse?
No, she had it
with her.
She sat down,
powdered her nose, and left.
Why would she come back to
the table to powder her nose?
Exactly. I'm going
to look around here.
Why don't you
check the console?
[guns firing]
[missiles whistling]
[gunfire continues]
[gunfire stops]
You can come out now.
Come on, this is no time
to be shell-shocked.
Somebody might
have heard that alarm.
I'm not shell-shocked.
I found something.
Come here.
Guess who was sitting here
last night?
Suzie?
You mean we found what
those guys were looking for?
[tires screeching]
Sounds like
your police escort is here.
Never break
a promise do you, Frank?
Now if you supplied
the mob of screaming fans,
we could say we're in here
hiding from them.
What do you mean "we"?
[footsteps approaching]
(Phelps) Then you went
there to find that girl
you were asking
about last night?
(Frank)
That's right.
Do you know
this young lady?
Sandy Walford.
Any idea why she was arrested
outside your discotheque?
Well, I've made my inquires.
Neither the state police
or any federal agency
has any knowledge
of her whereabouts.
She wasn't arrested or anybody
that bears her description.
Those men had badges.
They identified themselves
as police officers.
They may have used the badges as a
way of convincing her to go with them.
(Joe)
To abduct her quietly.
Considering the other
incidents that have taken place,
I'm afraid, Joe's right,
I think she's in danger.
Now, my men have
all this information.
And they'll find her
if she's in Valley View.
But what are
these other incidents?
Last night,
her car was towed away,
searched, and then destroyed.
Your dad mentioned that
when he called this morning.
We're working on it.
Today her apartment was
searched and almost destroyed.
Now this is first
I've heard about that.
We think this is what
they were looking for.
I thought those
markings looked familiar.
This key is to a safe-deposit
box at Valley View Federal.
I have got one here myself.
What do you think, Captain?
I think we've got enough reasons
to take a look in that box.
Oh, uh, thanks for coming
down, Mr. Turner.
I assume you're not
going to press charges
since there was no harm done.
No. No harm done.
Goodbye, I, uh, I'll be
seeing you.
Yeah, put me through
to Judge Benton, please.
Trouble.
From those kids?
And the cops, too.
You mean,
she gave them the tapes?
She didn't have to.
They've got the key.
They're going
to get the tapes.
According to them,
someone has to be pushing
Sandy from the other side.
That's heat
I haven't figured on.
Come on. Let's go.
(Phelps) Now let's see
what this is all about.
(Frank) Looks like
somebody beat us to it.
Well, let's get a look at the
signature card for this box.
That number sounds
awfully familiar.
Yes, here it is.
Miss Walford was in just
about an hour ago.
It seems
she had lost her key,
and after she properly
identified herself,
we had to open
the box for her.
Yeah, signature matches
the previous ones.
Can you describe her?
Certainly.
Uh, rather tall,
dark hair, fair complexion,
a very attractive girl.
Pretty.
She had a rather low voice.
Yeah, that's her.
She must be in real trouble.
She might have been abducted,
maybe escaped and came here to get
some money. Now she's on the run.
[phone ringing]
Yes.
It's for you.
Yeah.
Okay.
Well,
we're going to find out.
We just picked her up
at a movie theatre.
Thank you.
(Phelps)
All we want to know is,
are you Sandra Walford
or are you Suzie Wilkens?
Yes, I am Suzie Wilkens.
It's really touching
that so many people
are interested
in my well-being.
But as you can all see,
I'm just superfine.
How is it you were arrested
and I can't find
a record of it anywhere?
I was picked up by a couple
of federal hot dogs.
They realized
they made a mistake.
They let me go.
Your car.
You know it was demolished?
I've been trying to get that
clunker towed away all week.
Suzie, your apartment
was turned inside out.
The key to your
safe-deposit box,
we found at the discotheque.
Boy!
You guys are something else.
Tell me, Captain, do you have any
reason to keep me here any longer?
No.
No legal grounds.
'Cause these
amateur detectives
have caused me
enough trouble.
See, I was about
to enjoy a movie
and if you don't mind,
I'd like to split
and catch the next show.
Suzie, we were just
trying to help.
Yeah, just like your father
three years ago.
He had me
on the run every minute
until I established a new
identity and became a stewardess.
No. I don't need any help.
Are you sure you aren't
in some kind of danger?
The sooner I split, the sooner
my troubles are over. Bye.
It's getting late. I got to get
back to the rehearsal at the disco.
Can you get a ride
back by yourself?
Yeah, I guess I could,
if the guys in the band...
My brother.
Suzie, Suzie, look,
I didn't mean to interfere.
It's okay. Forget it.
All right. Can I give you
a ride anywhere?
No. I'll be fine.
All right.
I'll see you.
[car engine starting]
Uh, I decided
to accept your offer.
Where to?
Uh, just up ahead.
I'll show you.
[tires screeching]
All right,
what is it?
Tell me.
Look, you can trust me.
[tires screeching]
The man that's following us.
Who is he?
It's-it's-it's
Quentin Miles.
He- he's into a lot
of businesses.
Like a wrecking yard?
Yes.
What else?
Come on, Suzie, which one
are you involved in?
Records. He manufacturers
illegal records, too.
He's a record pirate.
Right.
[tires screeching]
So why does he
want to hurt you?
I'm the go-between,
Frank.
I get the demos for him.
From Tail Gunner.
[tires screeching]
That doesn't
answer my question.
Well, I told Miles
I'm holding back his copy
of the demo
to get more money.
There's got to be
more to it than that.
Yeah, there is
and Miles is suspicious.
[tires screeching]
But it's all going to be over
in a couple of hours.
I'm splitting for good,
as soon as I sell the tapes
back to Tail Gunner.
[cars honking]
[tires screeching]
[sighing]
[sighing]
Sell the tapes
back to Tail Gunner.
Sounds like you're going to
get more than you paid for them.
Why are they so valuable now?
Because they're a trap.
He didn't know, but I found
out after I sold them to him.
I heard another demo
in California.
It was different.
How was it different?
The first track was different
than it was here.
I called three more DJ's
who had the same demo.
And all of them had the tracks
arranged in different sequences.
So, the recording company
coded the tapes.
So they could identify which disc
jockey was supplying the pirates.
Right.
And if I sell them to Miles,
and he makes records
out of them,
they will know Tail Gunner was the
source when they hit the market,
then it'll all come down.
And you're in the middle.
More than you think, they
don't even know each other.
Oh, Frank,
I-I don't want to go to jail.
I ran away
from one at home.
Always being told what to do,
how to dress, who to be.
Who are you, Suzie?
Do you know?
You used to be so together,
so perceptive.
What happened
to that person?
I-I haven't been together
for a long time, Frank.
I didn't even realize
what I was getting into.
All I wanted to do was to get
the money and get out of here.
It's all right.
I want you to tell my father
everything you've told me.
He'll know
how to handle this.
Okay.
[car engine starting]
Frank, I appreciate your
caring and wanting to help.
[tires screeching]
But this isn't
going to work.
(Frank)
Suzie, wait!
(Frank)
Hey, you're blocking the road.
[horn honking]
Hold your shirt
on a second, buddy.
What's the matter with you?
Suzie!
Suzie!
(Frank)
Suzie, wait.
Damn.
[phone ringing]
Yeah.
(Suzie)
It's me.
What do you want?
The cops have the tapes,
I told you.
I don't have time for you.
I got to get out of here.
No, they don't. Wait.
What are you talking about?
Of course they have it.
The-the-the kids
found the key.
But I beat them
to the safe-deposit box,
I have the tapes
and I can meet you tonight.
You have the money
with you?
Yeah, yeah, I have it, uh.
Okay, I'll be here.
?[music playing]
You really think Suzie
is going to show up here?
She can't go to Miles.
She's too afraid.
The only person
she can go to for money
is her source
for the demo tapes.
The one who is going to be
hurt if they're released.
Tail Gunner?
Yeah, the one and only.
(Tail Gunner)
All right! All right!
Yeah, now that was
the Lightning,
that was the Lightning with
thunder in their machines.
Great sounds
for the hip towns.
Now it's time
for live jive on 72.45.
How about that, huh?
[all cheering]
Okay, Joe Hardy
has returned to base.
He's going to play it
right in your face.
Stick around
and catch the show this time.
[people clapping]
As the old King would say
in Command Decision...
"Get your bombardiers up here
or drop it on them. "
That's right, Eddie.
[people cheering]
?[music playing]
? I met her on a Monday
and my heart stood still?
? Da doo ron ron ron,
da doo ron ron?
? Somebody told me
that her name was Jill?
? Da doo ron ron ron,
da doo ron ron?
? Yeah, my heart stood still?
? Yeah, her name was Jill?
? And when I walked her home?
? Da doo ron ron ron,
da doo ron ron?
? I knew what she was thinking
when she caught my eye?
? Da doo ron ron ron,
da doo ron ron?
? She looked so quiet
but my, oh, my?
? Da doo ron ron ron,
da doo ron ron?
? Yeah, she caught my eye?
? Yeah, oh, my, oh, my?
This is all
I could put together.
It will get me
where I'm going.
You don't have to go anywhere. Frank.
I talked to my dad. He said
if you stay and tell the police
what you know,
you don't have to worry.
Police?
What are you talking about?
What is this, some
kind of a game? Come on.
? Da doo ron ron ron,
da doo ron ron?
Miles.
? Da doo ron ron ron,
da doo ron ron?
(band member) Joe, you're
supposed to be singing.
[guns firing]
[people clamoring]
[tires screeching]
[people screaming]
(Phelps) All right,
come on, break it up.
Now get those two.
Get them out of here.
Are you all right?
Am I all right?
Are you all right?
I'm fine. I'm fine.
Thank you.
I think
the group's got potential.
Why?
This is first time
we ever caused a real riot.
[chuckling]
(Phelps)
Tail Gunner, the tape pirate.
How do you like that one?
You know, I can't decide whether
you shot him down or sunk his ship.
[all laughing]
If you ask me, he should
have bailed out, either way.
On that note, I think
I'm going to do the same.
Suzie had been
doing that for too long.
Well, it's never
too late to stop.
What Suzie told
Judge Benton this morning
was the best way
she could have done it.
Well, with the support
of her friends, her testimony,
and existing circumstances,
he should be lenient on her.
And there are two people that
you left off your list, Frank.
Her parents.
She talked to them
this morning.
After this whole thing
is over,
she's going to be spending
a lot more time at home.
This is a song we worked out
just this morning.
Feel free to clap your hands,
do whatever you feel.
It's called
That's Rock 'n Roll.
? Well, I was 16
and sick of school?
? I didn't know
what I wanted to do?
Come on and dance with me.
Come on.
No. No, no, I can't.
[chuckling]
? I played at parties,
played in bars?
? I spent my money
buying new guitars?
? I screamed my heart out,
but how I loved it?
? That's rock and roll?
? Well, come on, everybody,
get down and get with it?
? Well, come on, everybody,
get down and get with it?
? Well, come on, everybody,
get down?
? That's rock and roll?
? It's when the smoking
and the heat?
? Have got your heart
pounding right with the beat?
? Don't try to fight it,
just get excited?
? That's rock and roll?
? Now don't you worry
about being a star?
? It doesn't matter
who or what you are?
? Just get the rhythm
and let it fill you?
? That's rock and roll?
? Well, come on, everybody,
get down and get with it?
? Well, come on, everybody,
get down and get with it?
? Come on, everybody,
get down?
? That's rock and roll?
? Well, come on, everybody,
get down and get with it?
? Come on, everybody,
get down and get with it?
? Come on, everybody,
get down?
? That's rock and roll?
? And if you feel it,
clap your hands?
? Let's see some sweat
for the boys in the band?
? Now let me hear you,
let me hear you?
? That's rock and roll?
? Well, come on, everybody,
get down and get with it?
? Come on, everybody,
get down and get with it?
? Come on, everybody,
get down?
? That's rock and roll?
? Whoa, yeah?
? Well, come on, everybody,
get down and get with it?
? Come on, everybody,
get down and get with it?
? Come on, everybody,
get down?
? That's rock and roll?
? Whoa, whoa, whoa?
