04x04 - Salvage

[bunniefuu]

(WHIRRING)

Not bad, hotshot.

Thanks.

One thing, though.

What? What do you got against trucks? It was in my parking spot.

Uh

-huh.

What do you do if they're double parked? Take us around again.

Airwolf, do you read me? SAINT JOHN: Loud and clear, Locke.

I just had a call from your friend at Devil's Ridge.

We're coming in.

The Company's put her on code yellow, so we better move quickly on this one.

Maybe you should get Disraeli out of there this time.

You want to try? Have a good trip.

Ah, won't be needing it.

It's time we got her out of there.

You know what she's going to say to that.

I know she was one of the Company's best before the East Bank jihad got to her, but maybe she's Go ahead.

Say it.

Past repair? Look, what happens when she has a bad dream and we're not there to pick up the pieces? Aw, hell, Hector, you're better off getting yourself an education.

(CHILDREN CHATTERING)

CHARLIE: Two beers, I make the six ball in the corner.

Three beers.

Five off the four to the side pocket.

I'll give you one beer if you sweep the place out tonight, Charlie.

(LAUGHS)

I need to talk to you.

Make that four.

Tricky sh*t.

You gave me this for a reason, didn't you? You get away from me.

Now, come on, come on.

Man's got a right to play a game of pool without you badgering him.

Now, come on.

(SIGHS)

Look, I know you've been outside my place.

You've seen those things, too.

I hear you were trespassing, Ms.

Grant, and, I don't know, maybe we ought to just lock you up, throw away the key.

Mind your own damn business, Strafe.

Look, what did you see? Tell me.

Everybody sees something when they get drunk.

Don't give me that! You're just afraid, aren't you? Because it's real.

I'd like to talk to you, Ms.

Grant.

Okay.

Then let's talk about what's happening in the Indian burial ground.

CHARLIE: Good luck.

Strafe, you've flown over this Blue Clay property with Nick Bronson.

Is there anything going on out there? No.

I never seen anything except old Indian bones and they don't light up.

Make noise.

Lest you're an Indian that's full of beer.

Or a little gal that's full of imagination.

Boo! I told you the mining company was gonna file a trespassing complaint against you.

We'll have to see the judge.

Don't touch me.

Whoa! Whoa! Whoa, whoa, Lorrie, it's me.

Saint John! Well, I should've guessed you wouldn't be far behind.

She starts ranting and you show up to bail her out.

This is getting to be quite a pattern.

Can I take her home now? Let's go.

Talk to you later, Locke.

Okay.

Lorrie! Locke talked to the Company.

We can stay for a while.

Hi, Lorrie.

Phone him back, Mike.

I don't need you guys.

Unless this is a social visit.

We're just here to see how you're doing.

(EXCLAIMS)

But I know what you're thinking.

"Poor Disraeli.

"Her mind's so blown we'll never fit the pieces back together.

" Lorrie, please.

Yeah, bring her in.

Seal her file so the Company Sorry, kiddo, we just don't need to advertise.

Come on.

Sheriff.

I'd like you to meet Mr.

Nokomo.

Pleasure.

He's checking out the area.

Thinking about buying the old Blue Clay.

Well, that mine's still got lots of silver in her.

The area looks promising.

Sure would give this place a boost, opening up the mine again.

Oh, my car.

I'll drive it back.

Okay, maybe I made a mistake.

Talking about the Company back there.

It's done.

Forget it.

Forget what? That you come out here every couple of weeks to wet nurse me? That the Company put me out to pasture? Not pasture, R and R.

Bull.

You know the policy.

Sure.

Don't make waves if you want to make it back in the ranks.

You'll make it back.

Just take it easy and let us help you.

I don't need help.

Okay, I do need help, but not the kind you think.

Talk to me.

Like the old days? Except now you only come to see me when I'm in trouble.

Oh.

I miss the old days.

Wipe your feet, please.

Rustic.

Here, let me do that.

It's okay, I'm used to it.

(SIGHS)

Look, I know what you're thinking.

But I'm not seeing agents jumping out of every tree this time.

But there are things that I don't understand.

What things? Noises, lights, in the old Indian burial ground.

And animals.

Huge animals.

Look, I swear I'm not drinking and I'm not drugged out! So what is going on, Lorrie? Okay, a few weeks ago, I asked Charlie Rising Moon to show me some of the rock drawings in the old burial ground.

He used to do the odd job around here.

And then these things started to happen.

Look, ask him.

Give him this and ask him what he's seen out there.

Take it.

You heard her.

Take it.

Charlie Rising Moon? Could be.

Lorrie asked us to give you this.

She's a crazy woman.

She said that you put that around her neck.

It's good medicine to protect a man from bad spirits.

Like the ones behind her house? She lives on sacred ground.

She should leave.

The spirits will destroy her! (HOWLING)

(RATTLING)

(CLINKING)

Saint John? Mike? (HOWLING)

(SCREAMS)

(g*n f*ring)

(SCREAMS)

(CHANTING)

You're in on this.

(WOMAN CHATTERING ON PA)

Chalk up another one for the loony bin team.

How're you feeling? Like a prisoner.

Lorrie! No broken bones.

Head's still screwed on, no matter what you're thinking.

Rising Moon, he was there.

Did you see him? Not since yesterday, and he hasn't bent over backwards to help us anyway.

But you must have seen something.

Animal tracks? Look, I'm not making it up.

You've got to believe me.

Lorrie, we're doing the best we can, but there's not a whole lot to go on.

Don't say it.

Don't.

You promised me, Saint John.

No more psychiatrists.

You promised.

It's real.

It's real.

(CAMERA CLICKING)

All I see is trees.

I don't know what else to look for.

One more pass over the mine.

Look, the Company's going to insist we draw the line somewhere.

Where do you draw the line when it involves a life, Mike? She was the best one on that team.

It took her over a year to work her way into that t*rror1st group.

One Company slip

-up and everything went sour.

She went through five days of hell to get me out of there alive.

The Company owes her.

I owe her.

You brought her back, man.

Did I? There, ten o'clock.

Just a reflection.

Snap a roll anyway.

Jo, we're gonna have to get settled on that (PHONE RINGING)

Can you get that? Santini Air.

We took her car, so she borrowed one.

The sheriff put her in jail.

Damn.

Bring her home, Saint John.

We can't afford to mess up.

There may be something to what she's saying.

LOCKE: Listen, if the Company nails me, I'm gonna share my bruises with you.

I'll give the sheriff your regards.

I can already see the strings being pulled.

But this is the last time, mister.

Devil's Ridge is a growing town and we really don't need any mental cases scaring off the investors.

Next time, I'll get her committed.

How long do I have to pack? We can't leave until our film is developed.

What film? Landscapes.

You guys are the crazy ones.

Bucking the Company for me? Thanks.

Okay, well, when I was in the sanitarium, they gave me a lump of clay and they told me to b*at on it, instead of myself.

I ended up making a pot that leaked.

I want back in the Company, Mike.

Whatever it takes.

You see, it's real, it's real! Mike? Lorrie? Mike? Lorrie? (YELLS)

Where are they? I don't know.

Tell me what happened.

Something took them.

Where? Back to the sacred lands.

Take me there.

If I take a white man there, my ancestors will k*ll me.

If you don't, you're gonna join your ancestors.

It took a small hurricane to cause this mess.

Ghost winds.

Call it what you want, they had to go somewhere.

From out of the earth.

Demons.

Maybe.

Or from out of the sky.

Either way we die.

Charlie, I know you have your religion and I respect it, but give me this much.

They may still be alive.

Now, if there's any chance of getting them back, I have to try.

And I need your help.

You may wander around for days.

Charlie, the Blue Clay mine.

Take me there.

You take the jeep.

Isn't there a shorter way? Yeah, come on.

(WHIRRING)

Haven't we done enough test runs on Shut up, Bronson.

We've got a problem.

Damn right we do.

People are starting to ask questions.

You can't expect the Indians to believe all that stuff about It's not the Indians.

That Grant woman? She had a friend with her.

This was supposed to be so simple.

It will be.

You just have that buyer here first light.

I'll take care of the woman.

Didn't he tell you anything else when he called? Like what? Like where he was when Mike and Lorrie disappeared.

He wasn't in the mood for talking, Locke.

You know, this wouldn't have happened if I would've taken care of Disraeli months ago.

Placed her somewhere where she would've got continuous care.

Okay, so she's an emotional risk.

Since when were the rest of us perfect? Spirits are angry, gate's locked.

Tunnels to the main building.

They mean business.

So do I.

Go on, get out of here.

You think they've got them in there? Yeah.

You know, I've always wanted to be on the side of the cavalry.

Just once.

Just don't call yourself Custer, okay? Let's go.

All right, time's running out, folks.

I need to know.

I don't know what you're talking about.

Scorpion.

Who else might come looking for it? Nobody.

So you got yourself a fancy helicopter.

So what? Get your kicks out of scaring ladies and Indians, is that it, Strafe? Shut up! Leave her alone.

Where is your boyfriend? Mr.

Nokomo wants to test run this What the hell's going on here? Your little creep pal is just getting his jollies.

Shut up! Who are these people? Just a little problem I ran into.

I don't have time for your personal problems.

I came here to buy what you say is an experimental American helicopter.

Yeah, you'll never get it out of the country! How many other people know it is here? Nobody, I swear.

Only Strafe and me.

And her friend.

The one I saw on the street? Get rid of them.

The Scorpion.

There's your ghost wind.

You know this thing? Experimental helicopter.

It's had two predecessors, but this one's supposed to be the ultimate machine.

Went down a couple months ago.

The government's been searching for it ever since.

Let's go.

Hey, what difference does it make? I mean, we get the money, he gets the chopper and then we get out of here.

When the KGB supplied the parts for the Scorpion, they did not expect the American government to find out we had it.

My country has plans for the Scorpion.

They paid you well.

Get the Scorpion ready.

I'll take care of these two.

Bronson, you stay here.

What are you going to do? NOKOMO: What we do with spies in my country.

Unless of course, you wish to do the honors? NOKOMO: No? NOKOMO: Pity.

(GRUNTS)

(YELLING)

It's a chopper like the Wolf, but a lot more machinery.

I know.

Are you all right? Yeah, fine.

Come on.

Let's get out of here.

Sitting ducks.

You reading anything? Thermal doesn't pick anyone up at Disraeli's.

Don't move.

Stay in the rocks.

How you doing? Okay, now that I know I have a few marbles left.

I can hear them rattling.

Take it easy.

Are you all right? I don't believe this.

You catching this? I'm running it through the system.

And I got the feeling we're the old model.

You can't outmaneuver me.

You can't outrun me.

I've got you.

(LAUGHING)

They're f*ring heat seekers.

Give me a sunburst.

There they are.

Let's try a pick up.

We're on their tail, closing fast.

Let's go in after them.

That's easy for you to say.

He's hurting real bad.

My punishment for not listening to my ancestors.

Go on.

Abandon a fellow cavalry man? Not a chance.

I'll catch up to you later.

All right, baby.

What you can do.

We're hit.

We've only got one chance.

(ALARMS BLARING)

The fuel intake? Locke, we'd have to go nose to nose and there's no guarantee that he's vulnerable there.

I got an idea.

Well, make it a fast one.

He can blow us out of the sky.

Well, he'll have to catch us first.

He's close enough to be our shadow.

Yeah, it's perfect.

I hope.

Rockets! Let's do it.

According to the cowboy we left at the Blue Clay, Bronson and Connors salvaged the Scorpion after it crashed, hid it, then put it out to the highest bidder.

The Scorpion may have been the third version of Airwolf, but the first one is the best.

Still, the government lost one hell of a machine there.

Yeah, but we got a hell of an agent back.

Is he telling me that we can work together again? I always did try to rush things, huh? Hi.

Hey, how you doing? Where's the Wolf? We put her to bed.

She's on the mend, just like you.

They'd just as soon you forgot about her.

For a while there I thought we were all gonna go meet your ancestors.

Me, too, but then I thought, maybe they don't allow the cavalry where they are.
