California license 909 King-Edward-Boy.
Officer Frank Murphy.
Detain and hold for questioning...
in connection with the death
of Officer Richard Lymangood.
So far so good.
Check out Big Brother's tape
in Blue Thunder if you want to know more.
I just heard about Lymangood.
I'm really sorry.
Call me if you want to talk.
- Here's your tea, Colonel.
- Thank you.
Why don't we just blank the tape?
That's what it's designed for, right?
They tell me Lymangood
changed the code numbers.
To go through every possible combination
would take forever.
Trouble is, we don't have forever.
Hiya, boss. How's it goin'?
Listen. I got the tape.
But I can't take it home.
It doesn't feel safe to take it home.
So I'm gonna take it-
There's this drive-in I go to
on Riverside and Victory, on the corner.
They've got a Dumpster in the back
behind the concession stand.
I'm pretty sure they don't empty it
till Monday, I think.
That's where I'm gonna stash
the tape, okay?
This is gettin'fun, huh?
Cops and robbers for real.
Well, good luck if you should decide
to accept this mission.
This is Lymangood.
Yeah, I forgot to tell you.
I found out whatJAFO is.
"Just Another Fucking Observer,"huh?
Get outta there. You're not supposed
to be there. Get the fuck outta there!
You talking to me, asshole?
Damn it! Murphy!
This is Special Base.
Commander, come in.
Shit!
Los Angeles Mobile.
Mobile, get me KBLA-TV.
That number is listed
in your directory, sir.
Don't give me any static. This is
a police emergency. Get me KBLA-TV now.
Good afternoon. KBLA-TV.
I want to speak to Mario Machado
or Alf Hewitt.
They're not here. They're in the field.
Want to leave a message?
Tell them this is Officer Frank Murphy,
Astro Division.
I've got a package coming their way.
Do you read me?
- That's Frank Astro?
- No. Frank Murphy, Astro Division.
Police emergency.
You got it, sweetheart?
- Yeah, I got it.
- Okay. Mobile?
- Los Angeles Mobile.
- Listen, I need another number.
- Hello.
- Kate, it's Frank.
Where are you?
I've been worried sick about you.
I'm okay, baby.
I want you to pick up a package.
It's in a drive-in at the corner
of Victory and Riverside.
It's near the concession stand.
- It's in a Dumpster.
- Then what?
Take it to KBLA-TV,
to Mario Machado or Alf Hewitt.
- Don't stop for anything or anybody.
- Got it.
Okay. Thank you, baby.
- Where is he now?
- Over the freeway interchange.
Get the mayor's office on the phone
and the city emergency center.
We're gonna get the air force now.
We're gonna get 'em now.
He made two phone calls. The first to
channel 8, the second to his girlfriend.
Forget about the police. Get our cars
over to her place and that TV station.
It looks like the bastard
wants to go public.
- We'll stop that.
- We'd better.
Come on, move out!
Move, move!
- Damn it! I can't see nothin'!
- There she goes.
Air 7 to Special 1.
Air 7 to Special 1.
No shit, pendejo.
You gotta set that thing down.
We got two choppers full of SWAT guys.
Oh-ho, it's getting cozy up here.
Return to base,
or we'll open fire.
Come on, will ya, Murphy?
All right, knock him down.
Okay, amigo. How's your
auto-rotation technique?
Son of a bitch!
Hang on!
Sorry about that, my friend.
Not again!
All right, chaps.
How'd you like to follow my leader?
Pull up! Pull up!
Okay, lady, pull over.
- Is there a problem, Officer?
- Yeah. A den mother in a Vega, right?
Play it very cool.
I need your license and registration.
Sure.
- Maybe l-
- Why don't you get out of the car?
For those who have tuned in late,
channel 8 brings you live coverage...
of a helicopter hijacking.
Stay inside your homes. There is
a sniper over the city of Los Angeles.
We've already lost one police car
and two helicopters.
Well, what now, gentlemen?
I don't plan on losing
any more of my helicopters.
May I introduce Colonel Coe
of the air force?
Colonel.
We've got a couple of F-16s
standing by
