[THEME MUSIC PLAYING]

NARRATOR: Johnny Domino was one of San Francisco'’s

hottest young jazz musicians,

but fate and a cosmic event

were about to change his life forever.

[LIGHTNING STRIKES]

[JOHNNY EXCLAIMS IN PAIN]

[WOMEN SCREAM]

What the doctors told him seemed impossible.

WALTON: John, your brain has managed

to acquire the capacity

to pick up certain frequencies like a radio.

But, Doc, I'’m only hearing bad stuff.

Yes, exactly.

You'’re tuned to the frequency of evil.

[MAN EXCLAIMS IN AGONY]

Who sent you?

[GUNSHOT FIRED]

[JOHNNY EXCLAIMS IN PAIN]

[CAR TIRE SCREECHING]

Hold it, now. I'’m on your side

RALEIGH: A whole new line of super tools

developed for super policemen.

A belt which enables him to overcome gravity.

Fabrics which are virtually bulletproof.

A stealth mode which makes him seem to disappear.

A holographic display

which makes him appear to be where he ain'’t.

[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]

[ROMANTIC JAZZ MUSIC PLAYING]

And this is our main operating room.

There isn'’t a better, more modern

plastic surgery center anywhere in the world.

That'’s why we can offer patients a standard of care and privacy

unmatched in a hospital.

Also a bill unmatched by any hospital.

Thank you, big brother.

Why else would a private investor pay

for this marvelous celebration of our grand opening?

Why else indeed?

Why don'’t we go and join them?

Excuse me, Doctor. Could I have a moment?

Of course. Wonderful job

of organizing tonight'’s festivities, Mr. Cruz.Thank you.

Although I'’m still a little surprised

why you won'’t tell me which of my patients

decided to be so generous.

It'’s the way he wanted it.

But there is one thing he asks of you

in return for all this.

Of course, what is it?

I noticed your lovely wife and daughter

seem to be enjoying themselves.

Indeed. And I'’m eager to join them.

Actually, that'’s what I wanted to talk to you about.

I'’m sure you and your family are used

to this kind of situation arising.

"Situation"?

I'’m still not quite sure what you'’re driving at, Mr. Cruz.

Doctor, I am giving you the opportunity to inaugurate this facility

in a truly meaningful way.

By operating on your first patient.

When?Tonight.

[SCOFFS]

You can'’t be serious.

You have no idea how serious.

[SLOW JAZZ MUSIC PLAYING]

How would you like that autographed?

[APPLAUSE]

That you very much. We'’re gonna take a short break.

I don'’t understand why this mystery patient couldn'’t come in Monday.

My employer has a limited window of opportunity

to travel in this country.

Besides, he expects special attention for his $5 million.

What $5 million?

You must recall that contribution to your endeavor

by the JEM Foundation?

Well, he is JEM.

It stands for "JE'’s Money."

Then I'’ll return it.

This is too bizarre to be legitimate.

I'’m so sorry to hear that.

Thought not nearly as sorry

as your wife and daughter are going to be.

Excuse me.

Johnny.

This is Annette. The daughter of the doctor

we'’re throwing this party for.

I promised her an autograph.

Sure.

ANNETTE: I just love your music.

I'’m gonna go down to the club as soon as I turn 18.

Oh? When'’s that?

Five years.

[LAUGHING]

Um...

Now what is this I hear about your ducking out on me?

Mr. Cruz, who'’s paying the bill,

made your performing a condition

of the catering job.

Listen, I'’m just sliding across the street

to play one number at Blarney Stone.

They'’ll never miss me here.

Buddy'’s gonna play. Trust me.

Your nephew'’s good.

But what could possibly be so important...

I'’ll explain later.

Listen, you bomb, and we'’re both playing for dimes in the bus station.

Okay? Hmm?Got it. Got it.

You sure you want to do this?

Yeah. Wouldn'’t miss it for the world.

Besides, you don'’t think I put on this monkey suit

to impress the Bates Rangers, did you?

Do my ears stick out?

[JAZZ MUSIC PLAYING]

Easy.

[SPEAKING SPANISH]

[MONITOR BEEPING]

What are you saying?

This is a dangerous city, Doctor.

Rape, torture, murder.

Those are just the socially acceptable deviations.

A terrorist could come in here with

enough explosives to blow the whole top off this building.

If I do cooperate?

Then your family and guests enjoy the party while you work.

When you finish, you all go home,

and we'’ll be out of the country,

leaving you with a $1 million bonus.

I don'’t want your money.

Oh, but you do want your family alive.

All right.

Go to phase two.

♪ For he'’s a jolly good fellow

♪ For he'’s a jolly good fellow

♪ For he'’s a jolly good fellow

♪ Which nobody can deny

Hey, man, Buddy'’s about to run out of tunes.

All right. I'’m coming.FRANK: Who did this, huh?

JOHNNY: We gotta go.

Oh, aren'’t you gonna have some cake?

Oh, man, I'’d love to, but I can'’t.

Well, give me a hug.

Happy birthday, Dad.

Thanks, son.

See you, Johnny. Raleigh.FRANK: Raleigh.

We'’re ready. You can go on up.

Where do you two think you'’re going?

This building is closed.

I'’m working the gig upstairs.

I'’m a musician.

Something major must have broke.

Yeah.

Now they'’re gonna fix it with guns.

What?

Wait here.

[SILENCED GUNSHOT]

[SILENCED GUNSHOT]

Thought you said you were going upstairs?

Just getting my other sax.

Stay back.Whoa, whoa, whoa, man.

This is Johnny Domino.

Don'’t tell me you'’ve never heard of him. He'’s the best.

You can'’t be too careful.

There'’s a lot of rich and very important people upstairs.

[ELEVATOR DINGS]

Hold this.

[GRUNTS]

I may not be able to pick up on the same kind of head vibes you do,

but you know something?

I don'’t know if you should'’ve gone back for your special case.

How much money and jewelery do you think there is at that party upstairs?

You think those guys are here to rob the place?

I'’m not sure.

The first guy I tuned into was wondering

how many people he'’d have to kill before the night was over.

Yes, now this is a perfect match!

Young, strong, heart like a jackhammer.

Match for what?

Oh, yes. The other famous Dr. Franklin.

I hope you and your lovely wife are enjoying the party.

We were, as a matter of fact, until this gentleman...

What'’s going on, Cameron?

Oh, I guess I neglected to mention

that this is a two-part procedure.

Your brother has consented to giving my boss a new face.

Then you'’re going to give him a new heart.

This is insane.

That can'’t be done. This OR isn'’t equipped for transplant surgery.

We'’ll see.

That'’s it.

We can control the whole building from upstairs.

Have a nice day.

[SAXOPHONE PLAYING]

[APPLAUSE]Thank you.

Okay, this is the last song. Let'’s make it a good one.

Come with me now.

What are you talking about?Let'’s go.

MAN: Easy.

Please.

But, Buddy, Buddy.

What the hell have you gotten us into?

[SNAPPING FINGERS] Come on, come on. Let'’s go. Let's go. Quickly.

[MACHINE WHIRRING]

What are they doing?

That expansion space is not scheduled to be built for a year and a half.

Remember that million dollar bonus?

It'’s already spent.

I mean, I'’d love to meet the head honcho, but what'’s the hurry?

BUDDY: Are we in the right place?

Absolutely.

Hey, hey!

That'’s rented!

Was he there before?

No.

Where have you been?

We don'’t have a sax player.

Where'’s Buddy?

Some guys came in here and dragged him down the hall.

JOHNNY: In the door with the goon?

You wait right here.

[SIGHS]

How you doing?

We need a word with Buddy Wright.

The sax player. He'’s inside.

Sorry, but no guests have come this way.

Our mistake.

Thanks.

He'’s lying.

Well, what are we gonna do about it?

Why are we walking away?

It'’s time to take the high road.

They'’ve got equipment here I don'’t even have at the heart institute.

Now you have some idea of the trouble we'’ve gone to.

Has the saxophone player been prepped?

MAN: Ready and waiting.

Saxophone player?

Well, having selected you as our surgeon,

we scanned the computer records

of every health insurance company in this area

to find you the perfectly matched donor.

Tonight, the lucky winner gets the opportunity

to, uh, volunteer.

Hey, hey, look. If you don'’t like my playing,

all you had to do was say so.

Look, I'’m just a saxophone player.

All right?

Wait, wait, wait.

Who are you guys?

Ooh, that'’s cold.

He'’s ready.

What are you doing?

You said to prep the sax player.

That isn'’t the sax player.

This is the sax player!

This is the wrong man.

MAN 1: We'’re in luck.

Vargas is sure Domino never left the building.

MAN 2: Then seal it.

And kill all outside communication.

[KEYBOARD CLACKING]

MAN 1: Locking up.

Exits sealed.

External communications jammed.

Get Burgos.

Burgos to HQ.

So we won'’t need this Buddy anymore.

On the contrary,

until Domino'’s heart is in my hands,

Buddy'’s is a back up.

MAN 1: Without a tissue match, the heart is gonna be rejected.

Eventually. But it would last a few days in an emergency.

Get your people and find Domino.

Remember. Head shots or below the waist.

Anyone who damages Jose'’s new heart

ends up at the bottom of the Pacific. Got it?

Sir.

You have a nice evening.

That'’s five bonus.

[CHUCKLES]

[GRUNTING]

[PANTING]

What'’s up, man? What did you find out?

We need a hell of a lot of cops.

They'’ve cut out all outside communications

and sealed the building.

Major bad guys wanna get their boss a new heart.

And one of the guests gets to be an involuntary donor.

Poor bastard.Thanks for your sympathy.

The donor is you?

JOSE: What'’s the hold up, Cruz?

My surgery should have started ten minutes ago.

A minor problem. I'’ll handle.

You'’re supposed to avoid stress, okay?

What is going on?

Nothing really. It'’s just that for the moment,

we seem to have... [CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY]

temporarily misplaced your heart.

[GROANS]

The donor left the party. But he'’s still in the building.

You know these musicians.

He probably just stepped out for a smoke.

He'’s smoking?

With my new heart?

I promise, it'’ll be his last cigarette.

And it will be very hazardous to his health.

And yours!

Hey.

I think I know how I might be able to get a call out.

The building'’s fire alarms will be on dedicated line loop

to Central Fire Dispatch.

I might be able to get a splice into it

at the building'’s operation center.

Which is where?

Usually at the main security desk for protection.

I might be ale to get control of the building back.

[JAZZ MUSIC PLAYING]

He'’s not here.

What do you mean he'’s not here?

He gotta be in here somewhere.

Listen, everyone. They won'’t let us go home.

Security said no one can leave this floor.

Ladies and gentlemen, we hope you'’re enjoying your evening.

No, we'’re certainly not.

Why are you holding us here against our will?

Sir, you must be mistaken.

No one here is holding anyone...No!

We'’re all prisoners.

[GUN CLICKS]

[WOMEN SCREAMING]

[GUNSHOT]

Okay, have it your way. You'’re all prisoners.

Now, if you do as you'’re told,

you'’ll all be on your way home in a few hours.

However, anyone who disobeys me

or my men,

shall be dealt with quickly and severely.

Hold on!Oh, God!

What happened?

Armed men. They took over the party.

Damn it. Is anybody hurt?

I don'’t think so, but they'’re all terrified.

All right. Let'’s head up.

They have guns!

We'’re not going near the party.

Okay? Come on, let'’s go.

[GROANING]

JOHNNY: This is gonna have to do.

I'’ll be back for you both.

I'’m scared.It'’s okay.

Me too, honey. Me too.

But it'’s gonna be okay.

Okay?

Jose, the border team we bribed

to let us slip in and out of the United States

has given us a narrow window of opportunity.

You have the start the plastic surgery now,

even before we find a new heart,

or else we'’ll never get back to Colombia.

You want me to trust you, huh?

You'’re still alive because you never trust anyone.

You'’re a smart man, cruzito.

I'’d hate to deliver you home in a couple of garbage bags.

You'’re a very generous and sensitive man, Jose.

[GUN CLICKS]

Careful. You put a bullet in my heart,

and we'’re both dead.

[GUNSHOT]

[GRUNTS]

[ELEVATOR DINGS]

Hold it!

Check, check. Anybody there?

I got you, J. What'’s up?

I copy.

Domino'’s on elevator six heading down.

Trap him.

Blocking out all floors except his destination.

The basement.

Express elevator to the basement,

and they know I'’m coming.

Yeah. All access is blocked

and I can'’t stop it.

[LAUGHS]

Alert the troops.

Can you arrange a blackout?

Blackout. Blackout.

I just passed 15. Anything?

I don'’t know if I can stop it, man.

I hope you got a plan B.

Yeah.

Yes!

[GUARD GRUNTS]

Manuel!

MAN OVER RADIO: Vargas, do you read me?

Vargas, do you read me?

No response.

What about that power outage?

Well, assuming it wasn'’t just a normal brownout,

it could only have been triggered

from the building'’s operation center.

Get some men to the basement at the center too.

My man, what'’s up?

Thanks for the blackout.

I better get out of here before they trace this blackout back here.

Now I'’m going after Buddy.

All right, we'’ll, I'’ll meet you up there. Later.

[ELEVATOR DINGS]

Doctors, how long will the plastic surgeries take?

An hour minimum.

We'’re running out of time.

Who was the second best tissue match in this area?

[KEYBOARD CLACKING]

The sax player'’s father.

Frank Dominus.

Really?

All right. I'’ll help with the anesthesia.

Let'’s get this going.

Take a deep breath. This will put you right to sleep.

That'’s it. Breathe deep.

[FLAT-LINING]

Damn it.

He'’s going into deep shock.

He'’s arresting.

All right, this is my ball game.

Bring a de-fib right over here.

Get this out of the way.

Lubricate. Give me 260 on this.

Charging.

Ready.Clear.

[STEADY BEEPING]

DOCTOR: Normal sinus rhythm.

He'’s back.

Thanks.

That'’s what big brothers are for.

He'’s not gonna make it much longer with this heart.

Don'’t worry, Doctor, his new one'’s practically lying

on a surgical tray right now.

[DOOR SHUTS]

[GROANING]

BUDDY: Hey!

I can'’t see anything.

Who is that?

Hey, who'’s that?

Ooh.

Buddy.

What just happened in here?

What?

Something just happened in here, huh?

Come on. Let me get you up to the roof.

All right.

Out.

If Burgos doesn'’t find Domino'’s father at home,

we'’ll have to use the kid'’s heart.

Better get him prepped.

I can'’t.What?

He'’s escaped.

What?

The guard was hit so hard,

he'’s raving about being attacked by a demon with one red eye.

What?

If you read me, come in.

Our roof guard missed his last check in,

and he isn'’t responding.

Get someone up there.

Jessica, it'’s me, Raleigh.

I got one more for you.

Buddy!

Get inside.

JOHNNY: Raleigh, come in. Raleigh.

Night Man.Where are you?

I just got Buddy up here on the roof.

Listen, there'’s a helicopter up here.

If I can get to it, I can probably get to a radio

and get a call out to the police.

Good. But not till I get there.

You got trouble on the way up.

All right. Gotcha.

[KNOCKS ON DOOR]Jessica.

Got room for one more?

Who?

Me.Oh.

This guard'’s mine.

I'’m gonna piss on this guard.

When I get a hold of this guy,

I'’m gonna turn him into a soprano.

Okay, we'’re almost there.

Going down.

[ALARM BEEPING]

[ALL EXCLAIMING]

[ALL CLAMORING]

[CRASHING]

I'’ll tell him. But he'’s not gonna like it.

What now?

They never got to the roof.

Someone sabotaged the elevator.

It crated with five of our men on-board.

It'’s a good thing Jose'’s unconscious,

because he would be executing people right now!

Get someone up to that roof.

If anything happens to the helicopter, we'’re all dead.

You got it? You got it?

So how did you screw up now?

I didn'’t.

This is Johnny Domino'’s father, Frank.

Well, welcome to the party, Frank.

What the hell is going on here?

Let'’s just call it a test

of a son'’s love for his father.

Ah! Music to my ears.

[SAXOPHONE PLAYING]

All right. It'’s Domino.

We won'’t shoot him, okay? We might damage the heart.

I'’ll take him high, you take him low.

All right.

[SCREAMING]

Well, that new portable hologram grid

worked like a champ, didn'’t it?

But if we can'’t make that radio work, we'’re in trouble.

They'’re gonna bomb the plane they used to cover their escape.

I'’ll call the cavalry.

Good.

Mayday, mayday.

Can anybody hear me?

[GUNSHOT]

[GUN CLICKS EMPTY]

[SCREAMING]

Hey, Raleigh, what'’s up?

Hang tight, I'’m bringing the troops.

Well, get here as fast as you can, man. Even two minutes is too late.

Wow.

You'’re dead meat.

And you'’re roadkill.

[WHIMPERS]

No, don'’t let me go!

What'’s Cruz's plan?

Everything'’s messed up.

He'’s scrambling.

He'’s gotta leave soon.

What about the party guests?

They'’ll be the diversion to occupy the cops

while we disappear.

What kind of diversion?

Cruz, he'’s got a briefcase with a bomb in it.

He won'’t leave without a donor for Escobar.

He got one.

We couldn'’t catch Domino.

Cruz grabbed his father.

He'’s got Frank?

Where are they? Frank and the briefcase?

Somebody disabled the helicopter.

Of course.

The point is, how the hell are we supposed to get out of here, Cruz?

The way anyone else would.

Call an ambulance.

Hey. Hey, what are you doing?

You'’ll be fine,

if you don'’t wiggle.

Hey, hey!

Ladies and gentlemen, as we promised,

we'’ll be leaving soon.

The police are already on their way.

We ask that none of you leave this room until they arrive,

because we'’ve placed certain dangerous devices

in the stairwells to ensure our escape.

Just relax.

It will all be over very soon.

You know, as the receptacle for Jose'’s replacement heart,

you'’ll be going to South America with us.

Oh, wow.

Afraid I can'’t make it.

No passport, no luggage.

No interest in associating with a scum like you.

Careful, Frank,

or I'’ll let them crack your chest without benefit of anesthetic.

[GUESTS CLAMORING]

Don'’t worry. It'’s just a little something

to keep our sheep in their fold.

How long?Four minutes.

Good.

[TIMER BEEPING]

[GUESTS MURMURING]

[SIRENS WAILING]

[WOMEN EXCLAIM]

[GUESTS SCREAMING]

[SIRENS WAILING]

Plane'’s fueled and ready to take off,

just like I promised.

Good. What a night of clockwork precision.

You'’ve got a doctor and a new heart right here.

It'’s not supposed to be in there,

it'’s supposed to be in here, all right?

It will be, it will be. Don'’t worry abut it.

[POLICE SHOUTING ORDERS]

[SIGHS]

Everybody, I'’ve got good news.

We'’re out of danger. If we just...

[GUESTS CLAPPING]

If we just remain calm.

And, Mrs. Franklin...

I'’ve got a little present for you.

Mommy!

[SIGHS]

[SIRENS WAILING]

[THUD]

MAN: Hey, what is it?

[BOTH SCREAMING]

We lost the other van.

It'’s no longer following us.

[PHONE RINGS]

[SPEAKING SPANISH]

Pilot'’s in hangar eight, ready and waiting.

So the news isn'’t all bad.

You know something, Cruz?

You missed your calling.

You should be a Marx Brother.

I like the Marx Brothers.

No, my point is, they'’re all dead.

[CHUCKLES] That'’s a good one.

[SIREN WAILING]

[MEN GRUNTING]

What the hell is going on with these guys?

Uh-oh. This is not good.

Let'’s get him on the plane real quick. Come on.

Hurry, let'’s go, man. It'’s time to work.

Come on, let'’s go.

Grab the front. You get the back.

Let'’s go.

Take it easy.

[GROANING]

[GUNSHOT]

The man'’s an idiot.

You shouldn'’t have said that.

I happen to like him.

[EXCLAIMS]

Cruz, what the hell is going on?

Why are you doing this? Let me go.

Come on, put me down. Put me down.

Let me go. Come on!

Let me...

Hey, you crazy? You'’re shooting at me.

Put me down.

[SCREAMING]

[SPEAKING SPANISH]

It'’s Judgment Day.

[GROANS]

[HEARTBEAT ACCELERATES]

[HEARTBEAT STOPS]Jose, you'’re arrested.

[SIRENS WAILING]

Spread out.

Frank, Frank.

Where'’d you come from?

The thug they left hanging from a flagpole was very talkative.

What happened?

How'’d you do all this?

FRANK: I'’m not quite clear. I just...

It just got a little intense there.

Did anybody run past you, like...

maybe a guy in a cape?

Get that ambulance over here.

Frank took one to the melon.

[UPBEAT JAZZ MUSIC PLAYING]

You were saying something about police commendation?

No, I wasn'’t.

Oh, come on, Charlie.

I just broke up a major drug cartel.

Practically by myself.

Which isn'’t so bad for what was it you call me?

"An old fossil"?

What about the guy in the cape you were babbling about?

I was groggy. I'’d just taken on four thugs.

I could still take you to the wood shed.

I got the body of a 30-year-old.

Yeah? We'’ll you better give it back, Frank.

You'’re getting it all wrinkled.

[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]

Thank you. Thank you, everybody.

I'’d like to dedicate this next song

to a very special guest of mine.
