1. Heroes.Copy !req
2. Once in a great while, they come along
when we need them the most...Copy !req
3. like President Churchill,
who won World War II...Copy !req
4. and Ghandi,
peaceful leader of the Indians.Copy !req
5. Or, as we know them,
Native Americans.Copy !req
6. The thing about heroes is...Copy !req
7. you can just never tell where
the next crop is gonna come from...Copy !req
8. and you don't always
recognize them at first sight.Copy !req
9. When I grow up, I wanna be a singer
just like Dolly Parton.Copy !req
10. I wanna be rich and famous
and have big...Copy !req
11. When I grow up,
I wanna be the star quarterback...Copy !req
12. for the Redskins,
and be rich and famous.Copy !req
13. Rich and famous.Copy !req
14. Famous and, um...Copy !req
15. When I grow up, I want to be a career
bureaucrat with the federal government.Copy !req
16. I wanna help
as many people as I can...Copy !req
17. and work hard to spread
democracy throughout the world.Copy !req
18. Ringo, you're supposed
to be milking.Copy !req
19. I told you.
Typing is for secretaries.Copy !req
20. That damn fool toy
is going on the junk pile.Copy !req
21. Let me tell you something
about this damn fool toy, Dad.Copy !req
22. This damn fool toy
is gonna change everything...Copy !req
23. from the way people do business
to the way we communicate.Copy !req
24. This damn fool toy is the future.Copy !req
25. And you know what else?
By the year 2000...Copy !req
26. when I've made millions of dollars
off this damn fool toy...Copy !req
27. we'll all eat food pills
like on Star Trek...Copy !req
28. and we won't need cows anymore.Copy !req
29. - Say it!Copy !req
30. Say it!Copy !req
31. The Cutlass 442 is faster
than the Belvedere GTX, all right?Copy !req
32. Damn straight. Some captain
of the football team you are.Copy !req
33. You're a shrimp.
You'll always be a shrimp...Copy !req
34. shrimp.Copy !req
35. What do you have to say about that?Copy !req
36. I think big, see?
Bigger than you.Copy !req
37. I'm gonna do big things,
and then I'm gonna write about 'em.Copy !req
38. People will hang on my every word.
Yeah.Copy !req
39. I'll be a crusading publisher
and make the world a better place...Copy !req
40. like... like...Copy !req
41. like Hugh Hefner!Copy !req
42. Yeah.Copy !req
43. Three heroes,
three separate paths...Copy !req
44. leading to one shared destiny...Copy !req
45. to change the world,
to make history.Copy !req
46. Today's the day it happens.Copy !req
47. You gotta figure... people
never see history coming.Copy !req
48. It kinda just sneaks up on 'em...Copy !req
49. like when the Chinese
bombed Pearl Harbor.Copy !req
50. You're living your life.
Then, boom!Copy !req
51. You're swept up in it.Copy !req
52. You again?Copy !req
53. Look, you can save yourself
a trip down here.Copy !req
54. The answer's always gonna be "No."Copy !req
55. - But you don't even know the question.
- Let me guess.Copy !req
56. "Can I have the C.I.A. files on Oswald?Copy !req
57. "Can I have the F.B.I. files
on Martin Luther King?Copy !req
58. Can I have the missing 18 minutes
of the Nixon tapes?"Copy !req
59. It's called the
Freedom of Information Office.Copy !req
60. So why isn't the information free?Copy !req
61. Mr. Byers, as you can see,
I'm a very busy man.Copy !req
62. Well, I won't take up
any more of your time.Copy !req
63. Just give me this,
and I'll be on my way.Copy !req
64. Unbelievable. One of your
F.O.I. requests actually went through.Copy !req
65. I got the e-mail this morning.Copy !req
66. Looks like you hit the jackpot.Copy !req
67. That's mine?Copy !req
68. So we're clear on this then, huh?
One more time?Copy !req
69. Our new shredder policy...
let's hear it.Copy !req
70. Paper, sí.
Coffee filters, no.Copy !req
71. I'm watching you.Copy !req
72. Thanks for the help, Baron.Copy !req
73. Prince. I made crown prince
six hours ago.Copy !req
74. - I'm almost king.Copy !req
75. Can you make those little guys
shoot at each other?Copy !req
76. That's not the point, Jimmy.Copy !req
77. This game isn't about violence.
It's about empire building.Copy !req
78. I spent two solid weeks...Copy !req
79. creating this medieval civilization
from the ground up.Copy !req
80. And yet you're still
a 32-year-old virgin.Copy !req
81. The irony.Copy !req
82. - Whoa!Copy !req
83. You gotta lift it with your legs.Copy !req
84. What's in the box?Copy !req
85. Vindication.Copy !req
86. It's from that pinhead clerk down at
the Freedom of Information Office.Copy !req
87. That guy actually
coughed up the goods?Copy !req
88. This must be every file I've ever
requested from the government.Copy !req
89. Maybe the system does work.Copy !req
90. Oh, yeah.Copy !req
91. You gotta love that
civil servant sense of humor.Copy !req
92. I keep telling you, Byers,
the F.O.I. 's a complete waste of time.Copy !req
93. You gotta spy,
use subterfuge...Copy !req
94. like the Bishop of Orange
is trying right now.Copy !req
95. Busted, you Byzantine hack.Copy !req
96. - There's something else in here.
- Yeah, it's junk. Would you clean this up?Copy !req
97. And don't try to put the cinder block
through the shredder.Copy !req
98. - Hey, cheer up, buddy.
- You know, guys...Copy !req
99. not every line of this is crossed off.Copy !req
100. - I see some numbers, a name.
- It's junk.Copy !req
101. Shred it.Copy !req
102. - Here we go.
The coronation of King Langly.Copy !req
103. Two full weeks of alliance building
and backstabbing...Copy !req
104. and now, finally,
I get to reap the benefits.Copy !req
105. Funny name. Stan Mizer.Copy !req
106. No!Copy !req
107. Please, baby.Copy !req
108. Uh, so, this guy... Mizer...Copy !req
109. Can I talk now?Copy !req
110. This guy... Mizer... who was he?Copy !req
111. - Stan Mizer. He was an inventor.
- Or nut.Copy !req
112. - Depends on who you ask.
- Legend has it,
he perfected a car that ran on water.Copy !req
113. Legend nothing. He did it.
I saw it. I rode in it.Copy !req
114. No one knows
what happened to the car.Copy !req
115. It disappeared,
and Mizer refused to talk about it.Copy !req
116. He died in, what, the mid-'70s?Copy !req
117. Mm-hmm. I know somebody
threatened him. Big oil, most likely.Copy !req
118. They'd do anything
to protect their interests.Copy !req
119. So, what did the car look like?Copy !req
120. A 1959 Studebaker Lark.Copy !req
121. - Tail fins?
- No tail fins.Copy !req
122. - Why?
- I don't know.Copy !req
123. - What color was it?
- Sea foam green...Copy !req
124. What... What the hell
does it matter what color it was?Copy !req
125. Do you understand what
we're talking about here?Copy !req
126. A car that ran on water,
not gasoline.Copy !req
127. Same horsepower,
but zero pollution.Copy !req
128. An endless supply of energy.Copy !req
129. Can't you see how that
would've changed the world?Copy !req
130. I definitely see how it would suck...Copy !req
131. if we all had to drive
green Studebaker Larks.Copy !req
132. Whoa!
Uh, Frohike.Copy !req
133. We just had proof that the government
kept a file on Stan Mizer...Copy !req
134. and maybe a clue as
to what happened to the car...Copy !req
135. and this idiot shredded it!Copy !req
136. You wouldn't even have known
about it if it hadn't been forJimmy.Copy !req
137. They censored nearly everything.Copy !req
138. Hey, look at this.Copy !req
139. Pallet 62/67221.
What do you think?Copy !req
140. Looks like some sort of shipping number.
Guess I could check it out.Copy !req
141. You also have what seems
to be someone's initials.Copy !req
142. "J. T."Copy !req
143. So how do you think
that wound up in here anyway?Copy !req
144. A fluke, I assume.Copy !req
145. It stuck to the bottom
of the cinder block.Copy !req
146. No. No fluke.
Fate.Copy !req
147. That car is still out there somewhere.
I know it.Copy !req
148. And we're gonna find it no matter
how hard they try to stop us.Copy !req
149. Isn't this a bit dramatic?Copy !req
150. Couldn't we have simply
spoken over the phone?Copy !req
151. Actually, I find that face-to-face
yields better results.Copy !req
152. Hmm.Copy !req
153. I want to know
what you have for me.Copy !req
154. Nothing yet.
Soon, hopefully.Copy !req
155. Well, so much for face-to-face.Copy !req
156. Do you ever think about dinosaurs?Copy !req
157. No.Copy !req
158. Can't say that I do.Copy !req
159. It's amazing to think
that our entire world economy...Copy !req
160. is based on them, you know?Copy !req
161. As in over the last
hundred million years...Copy !req
162. their remains have been geologically
transformed into crude oil?Copy !req
163. - I suppose that's true.
- Actually...Copy !req
164. when I say dinosaurs,
I'm referring to the oil companies.Copy !req
165. As in,
"Though huge and lumbering...Copy !req
166. we have sharp teeth."Copy !req
167. As I said, I have nothing yet.Copy !req
168. When I do,
you'll be the first to hear.Copy !req
169. Well, the last name's still up.Copy !req
170. Stan's daughter Shelly
lives here now.Copy !req
171. Hopefully, she won't remember me.Copy !req
172. What do you mean?Copy !req
173. I came here in the mid-'80s.Copy !req
174. She wouldn't let me look
at her old man's files.Copy !req
175. I maybe got a little bit carried away
when the cops came.Copy !req
176. Started yelling "Attica."Copy !req
177. She probably won't remember.Copy !req
178. I don't like it.
It's too quiet.Copy !req
179. I think we're being watched.Copy !req
180. We're onto you, you son of a bitch!Copy !req
181. Frohike!Copy !req
182. I'm very sorry.Copy !req
183. Oh, no.Copy !req
184. You! Get out ofhere!Copy !req
185. Just hold it before
you call the cops again.Copy !req
186. Oh, that's a good idea.Copy !req
187. Would you just look at this? It's a government
document that mentions your father.Copy !req
188. I'd like to report a breaking-and-entering.
Yeah, I'll hold.Copy !req
189. Your father was a great man.Copy !req
190. To me, he was Prometheus
trying to bring fire to the mortals.Copy !req
191. And I'm gonna ensure that his work
sees the light of day no matter what.Copy !req
192. Now, are you gonna help me?Copy !req
193. - Aah!Copy !req
194. That's it, man.Copy !req
195. I left it all in the field.Copy !req
196. There's no record of
this pallet 62/67221 anywhere.Copy !req
197. I cracked into every
data cache I can think of.Copy !req
198. D.O.D., Department of Energy, the oil
and car companies, government warehouses.Copy !req
199. - That number just isn't out there.
- Did you try the Internet?Copy !req
200. Yes. I even tried the Internet.Copy !req
201. Here's what I don't get.Copy !req
202. Frohike's really, really into this car.Copy !req
203. And then,
this thing shows up about the car.Copy !req
204. That seems pretty lucky.Copy !req
205. Yeah, it's lucky.Copy !req
206. There's no F.O.I. stamp on this thing.Copy !req
207. Every last damn scrap of paper
in that office gets a stamp.Copy !req
208. Jimmy, it's a plant!Copy !req
209. You've been a tremendous
amount of help.Copy !req
210. Not a problem.Copy !req
211. There was a young woman
who was just here.Copy !req
212. - What did she want?
- What's it to you?Copy !req
213. She was looking for a car.Copy !req
214. And I would appreciate it if you could
tell me everything you know about it.Copy !req
215. Look. I didn't see a ring on her finger.Copy !req
216. So whoever you are,
I don't have to tell you anything.Copy !req
217. That government monkey tells us where
this came from, or we kick his ass.Copy !req
218. Agreed?Copy !req
219. - Oh, man.Copy !req
220. Personally, I think
you're as nuts as he was.Copy !req
221. But, have at it.Copy !req
222. These are your father's files.Copy !req
223. His files, his grocery receipts,
his giant ball of tinfoil.Copy !req
224. Knock yourselves out.Copy !req
225. And-And you're sure you don't
recognize the initials "J.T."?Copy !req
226. Good grief.Copy !req
227. Hey, man. To me,
this is... this is Valhalla.Copy !req
228. This is a journey into
the brain of a genius.Copy !req
229. Byers.Copy !req
230. Who got murdered?Copy !req
231. The clerk at the F.O.I.,
and I think I know who did it.Copy !req
232. - Who?
- Well, three guesses.Copy !req
233. She wears Ferrari-red lipstick,
and she uses an anagram to sign her name.Copy !req
234. Yves? You're saying
Yves murdered the F.O.I. clerk?Copy !req
235. The last name in the log book
is Leroy W. Deshavala.Copy !req
236. - Rearrange the letters and it spells...
- Lee Harvey Oswald.Copy !req
237. - Or Yves Adele Harlow.
- Yeah. I think she's after what we're after.Copy !req
238. Only she's one step ahead of us.Copy !req
239. - Gotta go.Copy !req
240. Hey, Yves's as devious as they come,
but I don't buy her as a killer.Copy !req
241. Neither do I.
Nonetheless, she was there.Copy !req
242. - And someone murdered
that man. -I wasn't overreacting.
We are onto something big.Copy !req
243. We gotta watch our butts.
Help me out of here.Copy !req
244. What are you doing?Copy !req
245. - Hey, hold on a sec.
- You having fun?Copy !req
246. Shelly, what's that?Copy !req
247. It's Dad's water-powered car.Copy !req
248. The day I painted this
was probably the last time I saw it.Copy !req
249. - You see that watermark?
- Mm-hmm.Copy !req
250. - This is the back of a sheet of photo paper.
- I guess.Copy !req
251. I used to paint
on anything I could find.Copy !req
252. - That's your dad.
- Mmm.Copy !req
253. Who's that man?Copy !req
254. Mr. Guthrie.
That was Dad's best friend.Copy !req
255. I used to play with his son
about a million years ago.Copy !req
256. Byers, I think we just found J.T.Copy !req
257. No one following at the moment.Copy !req
258. - How are we doing?
- Almost there.Copy !req
259. Guthrie's farm will be
on your left in seven miles.Copy !req
260. So how do you know my dad?
You said he gave you a ride?Copy !req
261. Yeah, it was 1962.
I was a kid, and I loved cars.Copy !req
262. Drew pictures of them,
dreamed about them.Copy !req
263. My pop and I were at this diner
outside of Pontiac, and I noticed your dad.Copy !req
264. He takes his water glass,
opens up the hood of his car...Copy !req
265. and pours the water
right into his carburetor.Copy !req
266. It was the damnedest thing.Copy !req
267. He took my pop and me for a ride.Copy !req
268. Oh, how that engine purred.Copy !req
269. Smooth as silk.Copy !req
270. That afternoon was magical.Copy !req
271. Holy crap!
Someone's shooting at us!Copy !req
272. Countermeasures!
Countermeasures!Copy !req
273. God.Copy !req
274. Shelly, don't go out there!Copy !req
275. You guys want to see where
your gunshot came from?Copy !req
276. So, get a jack.Copy !req
277. Let's go!Copy !req
278. Um, we left ourjack at home...Copy !req
279. to make room for
the night vision goggles.Copy !req
280. All right, here's what we're gonna do.
Byers, see that piece of log over there?Copy !req
281. Grab that.
Simple physics, guys.Copy !req
282. Passenger side is higher, so the center
of gravity has shifted to the driver's side.Copy !req
283. Won't be that hard for me
to lift the passenger's sidejust enough...Copy !req
284. so that Byers can slide
the log under the axle.Copy !req
285. Instant jack.Copy !req
286. Uh, Langly, stay here with Jimmy.
Keep a lookout.Copy !req
287. What? Why do I
gotta babysit Gigantor?Copy !req
288. And try to keep him from
knocking the Earth out of its orbit.Copy !req
289. - Oh, damn.
- It's just a cow.Copy !req
290. It's not just a cow.
It's a nightmare I thought I escaped.Copy !req
291. Okay.
Whatever it takes...Copy !req
292. we gotta get
these people on our side.Copy !req
293. Do not say anything stupid.Copy !req
294. - Howdy.
- Howdy.Copy !req
295. - It's good to see ya.
- Yes, sir. Good to see you too.Copy !req
296. So, is there anything
I should tell you boys?Copy !req
297. Anything you need
to know about, uh, J.T.?Copy !req
298. Absolutely. Anything you could tell us
would be much appreciated.Copy !req
299. - Well, uh...
- Uh, hold up.Copy !req
300. Something's screwy.Copy !req
301. How'd you know we were coming?Copy !req
302. What? You're not the boys
that are here forJ.T.?Copy !req
303. Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
We're-We're the boys.Copy !req
304. No. No, wait.
I'm confused.Copy !req
305. Look, are you or are you not here forJ.T.?
Because I don't take too kindly to trespassers.Copy !req
306. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
We're-We're here forJ.T.Copy !req
307. You are?Copy !req
308. You're the experts from
the State Extension Office?Copy !req
309. Yeah.
That's me.Copy !req
310. Oh. Well, good then.Copy !req
311. Could we please get on
with his rectal palpation?Copy !req
312. All right, now.
J.T. is a mite sensitive.Copy !req
313. - Take it easy.Copy !req
314. Get on with it.
I haven't got all day.Copy !req
315. Here.Copy !req
316. So, what do you think?Copy !req
317. - Seminal vesiculitis?
- C-C-C-C-Could be.Copy !req
318. Hey, you, get up front here
and help me calm J.T. down.Copy !req
319. Is this one of those new
genetic cow breeds?Copy !req
320. She's got that one gigantic udder.Copy !req
321. Uh, uh!Copy !req
322. Now,J.T. is a bull, not a cow.Copy !req
323. You grab him there, he's gonna kick
your friend right through that wall.Copy !req
324. Oh, sweet Lord, take me now!Copy !req
325. - So who are you boys really?Copy !req
326. 'Cause you don't know
a damn thing about livestock.Copy !req
327. Are you from a collection agency?Copy !req
328. - Oh, God.
- Jason?Copy !req
329. Jason Guthrie.Copy !req
330. My God.
Shelly Mizer?Copy !req
331. Again. Hit me.Copy !req
332. Yeah, "J.T."
Those are my dad's initials.Copy !req
333. You call your bull "Dad"?Copy !req
334. I call my bull J.T.
in honor of my dad.Copy !req
335. We bought him the same week
that Dad passed away.Copy !req
336. - That was two months back.
- I'm sorry.Copy !req
337. Mr. Guthrie,
anything you can tell us...Copy !req
338. about your father
and his friend, Mr. Mizer...Copy !req
339. or this document, anything at all...Copy !req
340. Well, if Dad initialed it
and it's got a pallet number...Copy !req
341. then I assume it's some sort
of air force material invoice.Copy !req
342. - You said 1962?
- Yeah, that's when I figure it was.Copy !req
343. Well, Dad was already
stationed at Biznot in '62.Copy !req
344. At Biznot Air Force Base, just down
the road here. It's mostly shut down now...Copy !req
345. - but Dad was quartermaster for the space wing.
- Missile command?Copy !req
346. - Yeah.
- I.C.B.M.'s.Copy !req
347. A lot of cold war paperwork
didn't make it onto the computers.Copy !req
348. Explains why I couldn't
track down the pallet number.Copy !req
349. We need to pay a covert visit
to that air base, take a look at their files.Copy !req
350. Yeah, except none of us
exactly look like G.I. Joe.Copy !req
351. I wouldn't say none of us do.Copy !req
352. Bingo.Copy !req
353. Freeze!
Face down on the floor!Copy !req
354. Come on, buddy.Copy !req
355. That's government property.
Turn that loose.Copy !req
356. Sorry, buddy.
No can do.Copy !req
357. You really are an oaf.
You know that?Copy !req
358. I suppose half a document's better than none.Copy !req
359. It is an air force material invoice
dated April 4, 1962.Copy !req
360. The pallet weighed 2,981 pounds.Copy !req
361. Sounds like the weight
of a 1959 Studebaker Lark.Copy !req
362. But it doesn't say where it wound up.
Guess that's on the other half.Copy !req
363. Well, I vote
we call the cops on her.Copy !req
364. For doing what, exactly?Copy !req
365. Murder.
What do you think?Copy !req
366. That dead Freedom of Information clerk
thatJimmy and I found.Copy !req
367. - The one you paid a little visit to.
- What are you saying? He's dead?Copy !req
368. You didn't know?Copy !req
369. It must've been the guy
who hired me to find the car.Copy !req
370. Who is this guy you're working for?
What's his story?Copy !req
371. His name is Henry Farst.
He's with the petroleum industry.Copy !req
372. Apparently, he wants the car
badly enough to kill for it.Copy !req
373. And I'm not working for him. I only took
his money. But I guess he knows that now.Copy !req
374. The murdered clerk...Copy !req
375. he gave me this...Copy !req
376. censored version of the invoice.Copy !req
377. - He gave you one too?
- He was a wonderful source of information.Copy !req
378. You had him give me this.Copy !req
379. In a box with a cinder block.
Why?Copy !req
380. She knew about
my interest in the car.Copy !req
381. She gave us her lead to see
where we'd run with it...Copy !req
382. so that we'd do all the work,
and she'd take all the profit.Copy !req
383. As usual.
Except not this time.Copy !req
384. Oh, no?
You forget...Copy !req
385. I already know where the car is.Copy !req
386. I don't mind sharing.Copy !req
387. There's enough billions to go around
on this one, as well as danger.Copy !req
388. Regular meetin' in here.Copy !req
389. This is it.Copy !req
390. "Storage room 4, Silo C."Copy !req
391. Silo? Wound up on a farm?Copy !req
392. That could be an I.C.B.M. silo,
Biznot Air Base.Copy !req
393. As quartermaster, your father
shipped the greatest invention...Copy !req
394. of our lifetime
to the most secure spot on Earth.Copy !req
395. The bottom of a nuclear missile silo.Copy !req
396. Quiet there, J.T.Copy !req
397. I was starting to think
you weren't coming.Copy !req
398. I figured it was smarter
to wait till everyone was asleep.Copy !req
399. Mmm.
You don't look very happy.Copy !req
400. But you should know that
you are doing the right thing.Copy !req
401. That'll save the old homestead.Copy !req
402. Come on! Come on!Copy !req
403. - We gotta go! We gotta get to the silo!
- Why? What's the hurry?Copy !req
404. - This.
- They're being blown up?Copy !req
405. - Today as in today?
- Today as in get in the damn van!Copy !req
406. - Storage rooms are on
the lower level. -Easy, boys.Copy !req
407. - These walls are wired to blow.
- How low can you go?Copy !req
408. - How are we doing for time?
- Not good. Hurry it up.Copy !req
409. This place is like a maze.Copy !req
410. So pick your poison.Copy !req
411. This way.Copy !req
412. Hey, guys.Copy !req
413. This is it.Copy !req
414. - You all set?Copy !req
415. Gentlemen, get out of there.Copy !req
416. Do you hear me? Get...Copy !req
417. Yves?
Yves, you're breaking up.Copy !req
418. There's nothing down there.
Farst has the car.Copy !req
419. Do you hear me?Copy !req
420. This has gotta be it.Copy !req
421. Ten! Nine! Eight!Copy !req
422. Seven!Copy !req
423. - Byers, Frohike...
- Run for it!Copy !req
424. That concrete you're trying
to dig through is nine feet thick.Copy !req
425. It doesn't matter.Copy !req
426. It's reinforced with hardened steel.Copy !req
427. It's designed to withstand
a nuclear blast.Copy !req
428. It doesn't matter. You pound anything
long enough, it'll give.Copy !req
429. Jimmy, stop.
It's pointless.Copy !req
430. I love those guys.Copy !req
431. Jimmy.Copy !req
432. Jimmy!Copy !req
433. Aw, man!Copy !req
434. - Aah!
- All right, already!Copy !req
435. Don't make me sorry I lived.Copy !req
436. - How'd you get out?
- We crawled through a ventilation shaft.Copy !req
437. It, uh, surfaced about
a half a mile that way.Copy !req
438. Underneath a Port-A-John.Copy !req
439. - Guys, this is wonderful.
- Yeah. Whoop-dee-doo. We didn't get the car.Copy !req
440. Where did your oil company
creep take it, anyway?Copy !req
441. You think if I knew that,
I'd be standing here?Copy !req
442. Yeah.
But what I wanna know is...Copy !req
443. how did he find out where it was?Copy !req
444. I took it to the bank
this morning to deposit it.Copy !req
445. I grabbed it right back
out of the teller's hand.Copy !req
446. I couldn't help thinking
I was doing something terrible.Copy !req
447. If anyone should get this,
it's you, Shelly.Copy !req
448. It's for your dad's invention.Copy !req
449. I'm just sorry it's not more.Copy !req
450. You three almost got
yourselves killed today.Copy !req
451. I had no idea
you'd go so far for this.Copy !req
452. I'd do it again in a minute.Copy !req
453. Then I guess I have a confession to make
before you go and do something even stupider.Copy !req
454. My father's car is here.Copy !req
455. - Here where?
- Here here?Copy !req
456. I looked around this morning
and found it out here.Copy !req
457. Well, this is it. I remember
this attachment on the carburetor...Copy !req
458. this extra hose.Copy !req
459. - What is it doing out here?
- I thought it was junk.Copy !req
460. It's been sittin' here
for 20, 30 years.Copy !req
461. I wanted to have it hauled away,
but Dad wouldn't let anyone touch it.Copy !req
462. Uh, wait. If this is
the real water-powered car...Copy !req
463. then what did the oil company guy
drive off with?Copy !req
464. A decoy, apparently.
Your father put a decoy in the silo.Copy !req
465. Your dad made a vow
to my dad...Copy !req
466. to hide this car and never
tell anyone about it.Copy !req
467. This is it.
It's wonderful.Copy !req
468. And now we have to destroy it.Copy !req
469. What the hell
are you talking about?Copy !req
470. It's what my father really wanted...Copy !req
471. only he couldn't
bring himself to do it.Copy !req
472. - He knew the world shouldn't have this.
- Why not?Copy !req
473. Why on earth shouldn't there be a cheap,
pollution-free alternative to gasoline?Copy !req
474. Think what it would do
for the global economy.Copy !req
475. - Send it through the roof.
- Precisely.Copy !req
476. Lead to a huge development boom
throughout the world.Copy !req
477. - Damn straight.
- It'd mean more people driving cars.Copy !req
478. More people building
more places to go in those cars.Copy !req
479. More people.
More consumption.Copy !req
480. More trees cut down.
More roads laid in.Copy !req
481. And what do you pave roads with,
by the way?Copy !req
482. Oil. The same oil you use
to lubricate a water-powered car.Copy !req
483. The same oil that goes into
all the plastics...Copy !req
484. that make the taillights,
the bumpers, the tires...Copy !req
485. and just about everything else
on the planet these days.Copy !req
486. And we'd have 400 million cars
on the road instead of 200 million.Copy !req
487. It doesn't sound like Utopia to me.Copy !req
488. - I think you're overstating it.Copy !req
489. It wouldn't happen overnight,
but it would happen.Copy !req
490. And my father couldn't bear
to be responsible for that.Copy !req
491. You're forgetting something.Copy !req
492. We're running out of oil.Copy !req
493. This invention is what's going
to keep us from going back...Copy !req
494. to horse-drawn carriages.Copy !req
495. - You don't wanna destroy the car?
- Absolutely not.Copy !req
496. I wanna give it to the world
and make billions off of it.Copy !req
497. Unfortunately,
there are a lot of witnesses.Copy !req
498. That's your plan?
You actually believe...Copy !req
499. you're going to shoot
every last one of us?Copy !req
500. Well, for what it's worth,
you're the only one I'm going to enjoy.Copy !req
501. - So that's how history is made.Copy !req
502. Not the kind ofhistory you read
in books or Peter Graves tells you on TV.Copy !req
503. I'm talking history
no one even knows about.Copy !req
504. Except it happened.Copy !req
505. It changed the world by not
changing the world, if you follow me.Copy !req
506. And sometimes, maybe not
changing the world is a good thing.Copy !req
507. And what about
that water-powered car?Copy !req
508. Obviously, you don't have one
in your driveway.Copy !req
509. So you know it didn't
wind up in Detroit.Copy !req
510. But it didn't get destroyed either.
It's still out there...Copy !req
511. waiting for a day when smart people
of integrity get together...Copy !req
512. and figure out a way to
use it for the benefit of all mankind.Copy !req
513. Kind oflike the atom bomb.Copy !req
514. That's because three heroes
knew when not to act.Copy !req
515. But for one shining moment,
one brief afternoon...Copy !req
516. it was magical.Copy !req
517. - I made this!Copy !req
