Golden Years (1991) s01e07 Episode Script

I say we make a run for the airport.
Then what?
Then we climb on the plane and take off.
Then what?
Then we get airborne
and I'll think of something.
We need to think of something now.
We're not going to get a second chance.
You know that.
We need some time.
We need a safe place to stay overnight.
- Thanks.
- Yeah.
Okay.
Okay.
I know a place we can stay.
At least for tonight.
A safe house.
It's not polite to eavesdrop.
I wasn't. You talked too loud
and my hearing's too good.
Am I supposed to trust you now?
You don't have a choice.
I've got them in my sights.
They're right there!
Behind you! Behind you!
What?
Anybody there?
Don't worry, Ma'am.
As you were, soldier.
I'll take care of those dogs.
Okay. Everybody back to their stations.
How's it going?
- Hey, Tom. What's going on?
- I'm going to be a grandfather.
- Nick Wallace.
- It's a recipe I invented.
It's good.
- Cap'n Trips.
- Sybil.
Why don't they head up to the border
and find Harry Dobson?
He went back to Australia.
Want some more, Terry?
- No, thanks.
- How's your arm?
It's better. Thank you.
Would you like some more?
No, thank you.
I've had about all I can eat.
I'll try some more of this tofu stuff.
It's terrific.
Don't you think the seaweed
gives it a wonderful flavour?
Don't say a word.
- I'll get some pizza. Interested?
- I'm with you.
No, you're not.
What about that guy in Colorado
who had the cabin?
He got busted by the feds.
Besides, he didn't do IDs.
You're going to need new IDs.
- I know. Richard Rogers.
- Yeah. R-2 can do.
He lives in Wisconsin on a farm.
He can make you driver's license,
passport You name it.
I'll go on ahead
and get things started.
- Can I use your phone?
- There's one down the street.
I'll call Moreland.
Let him know we'll be back later.
I'll get someone to make the call.
Cap'n Trips.
- Yeah?
- Do you mind?
- No problem.
- Wait, Louis.
Moreland will panic
if he doesn't hear your voice.
I'd better make it myself.
Where's the payphone?
- I'll show you.
- No anchovies.
Louis, You can't go dressed like that.
Tick, tick, tick, tick.
Tick, tick, tick, tick.
Tick, tick, tick, tick, tick.
Click click.
Click, click.
Dual control security access keys
must be initiated
within 0.5 seconds of each other
to activate the system.
Please try again.
Oh, sorry, Dr Todhunter.
I didn't think anyone was in here.
That's all right.
- What's your name?
- I didn't see you in here.
What is your name?
What is your name?
Billy Delois, Sir.
I've got a job for you, Billy Delois.
Come with me.
But I'm supposed to do your floors.
Billy
Do you mind if I call you "Billy"?
Do you want to be
a janitor all your life?
Heck, no. That's why I'm taking
the home study course in taxidermy.
How would you like to be my assistant?
Yeah? This is 4-0-2-7.
You beat me. What's up?
Really?
You ain't going to believe this, but
I'm out getting a pizza for Williams.
- We're just going to be a little longer.
- How long?
- Overnight.
- What?
You mean I have to stay here overnight?
That's the safest place for you to be.
Yeah. The blonde, too.
Great buns
Yeah, the military guy
is here with me now.
Making a call.
What do you want me to do?
What's the number there,
in case I need to reach you?
I'm calling from a payphone.
Yeah. But where are you?
What's the address?
- I don't know.
- Are you in the city?
Major, listen. I've got to go now.
I'll call you in the morning
to let you know our plans.
- What time?
- Early. Hang in there.
I'll try.
Look Here you go.
I I did exactly what you told me.
I tried to do exactly what you told me.
I tried.
I tried!
You know, I'm a team player.
You make sure you tell Mr Andrews that.
You'll tell him:
"Major Moreland. Team player."
Okay?
Now, can I get you guys a snack?
Okay. I'll I'm going to
Yeah.
All right, Billy.
On my count of three,
we turn the key at the same time.
Got that?
Got it.
On three. Your count. Turn key.
All right. Are you ready?
One
- Two
- Do we turn the key
on three, or right after you say it?
On three. When I say it.
- Get it?
- Which way do I turn the key?
To the right.
This way?
- Yes.
- What?
- I've got it now, Dr Todhunter.
- All right.
Ready?
- One
- One
- Two
- Two
Three
Turn it now!
Excellent. Well done.
All right, Billy. Are you ready?
Yes, Sir.
All you have to do
is push this down on my signal.
Got it?
Dr Todhunter,
I feel like something's going to happen.
Something is going to happen, my boy.
A scientific breakthrough.
Well, I meant something bad.
Why? You have nothing to fear, my boy.
Nothing at all.
It's just the excitement you feel.
- You think so?
- Absolutely.
Not a doubt in my mind. You're excited.
Excited and determined to do your best.
Excited. Excited and determined.
Excited.
You're excited and determined
to do your best.
Excited and determined.
Excited and determined.
Excited and determined to observe
the results of the experiment
first hand.
You ready, Billy?
All right.
Let's get this show on the road.
All right, Billy. Now.
Do it now.
It works!
It works!
It works. It works.
It works! It works!
Billy Delois, it works.
It works!
Gina, I've been looking for you.
Everything all right?
Yeah. I've been looking
for my programme. It's on now.
I think it's on now
in Falco Plains, but
I don't think they carry it in Chicago.
Let me try.
There. That's probably it.
You know, whenever I hear this song
I think of that night in Baltimore.
We danced till 3 in the morning.
Remember?
Of course, I remember.
Dance with me, Gina.
Harl, I don't feel like it now.
If you're worried
about Francie, don't be.
We'll see her in a few days.
It's better she's safe in Wisconsin.
Now come on, Gina.
Dance with me?
- It'll make you feel better.
- Harl
It'll make me feel better, too.
You had on your purple dress that night.
You spent two-week's salary and
traded your sugar ration for the outfit.
But my, it was worth it.
You didn't have
enough money left for nylons,
so you drew a seam line down the back
of your legs with an eyebrow pencil.
Later on, I rubbed it off.
Oh, you remember that now, don't you?
What? What is it?
Nothing.
Destroying federal property
is a serious crime, Major.
- This cannot go unpunished.
- Yeah
I was forced to do that.
Don't you see that?
I didn't want to come along.
I didn't want to destroy
those computer files.
Why didn't you call for help
when he left you?
What? Well I wanted to.
I wanted to, and I was going to
Thank you.
I was going to, but your men showed up.
You see, I really was.
I was going to and your men showed up,
and I couldn't decide who to call.
- That's what happened.
- I'll bet.
I've got Dr Todhunter
on the line for you.
Don't go away.
Thanks.
Good news. We found the old man.
One of your blue agents called in.
- Just the old man?
- No. All of them.
We've got the stakeout
on the house right now.
I don't want to move at first light.
Arrange for backup. Feds and locals.
I want the city plans
for the whole block.
What for?
Okay. I'll get them.
Dr Todhunter. Just a second.
We want to take him along with us.
We might need him later.
- Dr Todhunter.
- What do you want? I'm busy.
- Is everything all right there?
- Fine. What do you want?
I want you to pull the plug.
Shut down, till I get back.
I'm sorry. I can't do that.
- It's not like you have a choice, Doc.
- Yes, I do.
I'm here and you're there.
Do you not see that?
Billy, throw the next three switches.
Do it now, Billy.
- I'm sorry. I have to go now.
- Do you want the janitor?
- You have him?
- Yeah. I’ve got him.
Swear on your mother's grave.
I'll swear on your father's grave.
How's that?
- Leave my father out of this.
- Come on, Doc.
You want the old man to experiment on?
I can't bring him back to a lab
that's a smoking hole in the ground
Bastard.
The party's over, Billy.
For now.
Come in.
What's up?
Louis, those beads really bring out
the colour in your eyes.
- Is that what you wanted to talk about?
- Have a seat.
A waterbed!
I've never been on one of these things.
You missed a lot by spending your youth
in the Iron Triangle,
rather than Haight-Ashbury.
Maybe someday
I'll find out what I missed.
Yeah, maybe.
So, what about the airport?
I don't want to go there.
I don't like the way Moreland sounded.
I think you want to just
keep wearing these clothes.
Sybil has an old van we could use.
If we stick to the back roads,
we could be in Wisconsin in two days.
And after we meet up with Francie
and get new IDs?
Leave the country. Yeah.
You know, this is really comfortable.
I checked out the rest of the house.
There's a basement and an access
to an old unused storm drain.
It's there if we need it.
- You never stop thinking, do you?
- No.
That's why I'm still alive
after being partners with Jude Andrews.
I wouldn't worry about this.
We'll make it.
I hope you're right.
If we don't make it, Louis,
this could be the end
of a beautiful friendship.
Yeah. I got it.
Shop Command.
We're good on the street.
Let's dance, Gina.
Yes. Slow.
It still feels like Coney Island for me.
For me, too.
Go. Go. Outside!
- Pay him.
- Thanks, man.
It really is great to see
my tax dollars at work. Far out.
Sign for it.
Sign for it?
- Would you sign it? Come on!
- I love you guys.
Get out of my face.
Where's Moreland?
The house across the street
is the command centre.
- He's there, but he's not happy.
- It breaks my heart.
Did you get
those city plans I asked for?
I'm working on them.
Yeah, you know, time is very short.
To quote the good doctor:
"Do you not see this?"
I'm sorry, Mr Andrews.
I'm not getting what you're saying.
Do you get this?
- Do you?
- Yeah.
- Do you get it now?
- Okay.
- Do you get it?
- Yes.
Do you finally get it?
Get me those plans, Burton.
Or next time, I'll twist something else
that's attached to your body.
- Do you understand?
- Yes, Sir.
- Shall we get up, Mother?
- In a minute.
I want to lie here a little longer.
I want to be held.
I want to feel you close to me.
Whatever happens, I have always
loved you, Harlan Ethan Williams.
And I've always loved you, Gina,
but when you start talking like that
I feel a goose walking over my grave.
It's not a goose. It's that man.
Andrews.
If he's not the devil's right hand,
he's the devil himself.
Stop or you'll just get yourself upset.
No, I won't.
I'm finished with that.
But there is something I want to say
and don't you stop me.
I won't.
How many times
have we made love, Harl?
Since 1941?
I don't know exactly, Gina.
But I guess
if we had a buck for each time,
we could buy a Mercedes-Benz.
Yes.
A lot of times.
A lot of love.
But this time was different.
You felt it, too, didn't you?
Don't, Gina. Please don't.
No. Listen to me now.
Nothing ever really ends, Harl.
I don't know if I believe in
the Heaven my mother believed in,
but I do believe
that nothing ever really ends.
Remember when we were on the road
and I said that you were
one of the people on the ship,
and I was one of the people on the pier?
Well, someday,
we're both going to be on the ship.
We'll be together again.
I know it. I feel it.
Hush, Gina. Please.
But till that time, I'll be with you.
In your memories and in your heart.
I will, won't I?
Yes.
- I love you, Gina.
- Oh, I love you, too.
So, so much.
Yeah, that's right. You heard me.
I want those plans
in the next five minutes,
or I will pull your ears down
and tie them under your chin.
That's right. You got it.
If I wasn't afraid
that he'd track me down
and find me,
I'd clear the hell out of here.
- Just disappear.
- I haven't a doubt.
I haven't seen any paperwork on this.
Nope. Not a scrap.
This place is a zoo.
It's a damn zoo.
I can't I can't bypass
Bypass normal channels.
And I haven't seen
I haven't seen a budget.
What the hell is that?
Who the hell is paying for these men?
Who the hell is paying for these men?
I haven't seen any
I haven't seen any ammunition invoices.
No, no, no.
No, no, no.
I'm not going I'm not
going to bite the bullet on this one.
I'm not going to bite the bullet
on this one and I can tell you that!
Attention!
I want everyone's attention.
Gentlemen, without rules
what have you got?
You've got chaos.
You have got the jungle.
Now
I'm going to put a stop to this.
As you were, soldier. Hey, hey!
I told you, you've got to call it off.
There is absolutely no requisition
for this kind of fieldwork.
Do you hear me?
Who's that in the street?
There is absolutely no authorisation
- Looks like we ran out of time, Louis.
- Let's get going.
- What's going on here?
- Something big. Something bad.
Where's Moreland?
You don't get strike
one, two or three on this one.
You're out.
the budget!
- I'll get him.
- Nothing of the sort.
Most irregular
Sharp shooters only.
I don't want the old man hit.
This is it.
Let's get dressed.
We got to get out of here now.
I didn't go to Canada for ten years
to get blasted by these Chicago
- We're surrounded.
- Doesn't look good.
What will they do to us?
I don't think anybody should do anything
until we talk to them.
- Right.
- Yeah.
See what happens when we don't get
a consensus about who crashes here?
- They're ready to commit violent acts.
- We didn't start it.
This place is open to anyone in need.
- You know the rules. No firearms.
- He's right. Francie knows better.
You knew you were coming.
You shouldn't have brought guns.
Getting trapped inside a house
with a bunch of granola heads
wasn't exactly on my daily calendar.
It just happened.
- Why are the police here?
- It's none of your business.
I'm afraid it is.
You have put all of us in jeopardy.
The police don't want us.
They certainly don't want me.
I'm going to negotiate
with them to let us go.
- I don't recommend that.
- I don't want to see people get hurt.
We can settle this without violence.
If that's what you choose as a form
of discussion, you can do it yourselves.
After we're all gone.
Sybil.
Everybody stay here, where
you'll be safe. We'll be all right.
They'll listen to reason.
Why don't you all chant
and hold hands while we're outside?
Let's get out of here.
It's going to be a bloodbath.
Tell me about it.
Hold your fire.
You, on the first floor.
Come on out. Nobody's going to hurt you.
- Ready?
- Ready.
Come on out. We can talk about this.
- Who's in charge here?
- I am.
- What's your name?
- Jude Andrews.
Hey, Jude. I'm Tom.
I want you to let myself
and my friends go.
Send out the old man and
the young woman. Nobody has to get hurt.
I can't do that.
Whatever problem you have with them
you must settle for yourself.
I'm not the one with the problem here,
Tommy Boy. You are.
You're starting to get on my nerves.
Look, we don't want any violence here.
You said we could talk.
Talk's over.
Take them out.
They shot them! No!
Hey, you.
- They can't find the city
- What's his name?
Cap'n Trips.
Trips
All right. Smoke them out.
We're fucked.
You can say that again.
Get Harlan and let's scram.
- I hope that tunnel's open.
- Better be.
Keep the fire trucks back till
the old man's out of the house and safe.
- Captain
- Sir.
- I want a tag team on the perimeter.
- Right.
Come on. Move it in.
This is your last chance. Come on out.
Get that live one out
before it burns someone.
- Help me.
- Hurry!
Come on! Go!
- Come on.
- I don't think Gina's able to.
- I said I'm all right.
- What are we waiting for?
Come on. Follow me. Keep low.
Where's the old man?
Get him out of here.
They just got here.
I don't know if you still need them.
You think they're still in there?
No. They're gone.
- Where are we going?
- After them.
- I've got to sit a spell.
- We can't stop.
- No.
- She's not feeling well.
They'll figure out
we're not in the house.
- Harlan, go on without me. Please.
- No, I won't! We'll sit a minute.
We'll sit a minute.
- We're Louis?
- He was right behind me.
Louis
Louis?
- Louis?
- Stop it.
Command centre.
- Andrews here.
- What's your status?
I've got him. Come pick us up.
- Harlan?
- Gina.
Get away from him.
Hold on to me, Gina.
Get away from him
or I'll blow your brains out.
- What's happening?
- Don't let go, no matter what.
Let go!
I can't see you, Gina.
Don't be frightened, Gina.
You're coming with me.
Let go!
You're coming with me.
Well, I'll be damned.
- Terry!
- Well, I'll be damned.
I took a wrong turn.
But then I heard you shouting.
Where's Harlan and Gina?
What the hell's going on?
Do you believe people get
a second chance in this world, Louis?
What?
I think they do.
I think we just did.
Let's go.
They're going to come looking for him.
Terry
Do you want to go non-reg for a minute?
- What for?
- Maybe for the rest of our lives?
