Jet (2026) Movie Script
Farley will not be pleased
with you wasting fuel
and having some fun taking
part in a drag race.
Farley can kiss mine.
Stop it.
Duke challenged me.
Duke is a blowhard,
yanking your chain, Max.
He challenged me, Dell.
Do you have to accept every
challenge that comes your way?
Kind of, yeah.
And just how will
you justify drag racing
a paltry 100 feet
in multimillion
dollar fighter jets?
One small step for man,
one giant leap.
It's not the moon.
It's 100 feet, Max.
100 feet.
I got this.
Oh man, if we must, let's
get this party started.
Gentlemen, and I use
that term very loosely.
On my mark.
Three, two, one.
I won, Duke.
You know
I've got allergies.
What I know is
I won, Dell.
Bully for you, Max.
Ah, sore loser
Duke is leaving us.
You always have to win
at everything, don't you?
No.
I just have to win at
everything to do with jets.
Finally, we
agree on something.
Now, can we get back to work
and making money, please?
One small step.
Stop it.
One giant.
Please, stop!
I can't take it anymore.
You won, Max, you won.
Was that so hard to say?
You know, it was.
It really was.
You're a better man for it.
You just won't stop, will you?
No, I'm wrong.
You can't stop.
You're like that bunny
in those commercials.
I'm more like the road runner.
Oh, please.
Beep, beep, Dell.
Beep, beep.
You're gonna make me cry.
She's hostile to me, Max.
You're too sensitive.
Sensitive?
She had a knife and was
threatening to stab me with it.
How is that too sensitive?
Point taken.
Get it?
Point.
Very funny, very funny.
But I like her, kind of.
A lot.
Kind of.
Maybe we should try
couples therapy.
Couples therapy?
You should move out, Dell.
Move out?
Really?
She was going to
stab you with a knife.
I hear you.
So are you a free Saturday?
No.
Then how am I
going to move out?
You know I don't like
strangers touching my things.
I can see now why
she had that knife.
Funny, very funny.
All systems are green.
You are good to go, Max.
Copy that.
Still a few clicks
away from target.
Switch to radar cloaking.
I wish.
All the big guys
have cloaking.
Why don't we have
radar cloaking?
Can't cloak it if it
doesn't exist, Dell.
Cloaking shmoking.
But think of the money
we're making, Max.
Think of the money
we're making on this one
and eliminating bad guys too.
It's a win-win, Max.
Win-win.
I do it for the children.
You are way too cynical, Max.
Way too cynical.
How's she handling?
Like a flyer's dream girl.
Then let's go
get them, cowboy.
Yeehaw.
Evasive action, Max.
Evasive action,
incoming, incoming!
I got it, Dell.
Max, evasive.
Look, they're on you.
I'm flipping the bird.
Payback time, Dell.
Nice shot.
Payback has come.
Payback has gone.
Primary target now in range.
Bingo.
Bango.
Bombo.
Ah, drinks on me
when you get here.
Say that again?
I mean, drinks at the
bar when you get here.
You haven't bought
a drink, Dell, since.
Since I got my third
divorce, Mary Beth.
Ohh, I know, you
don't have to tell me.
And you don't have to rub it in.
Have the drinks ready
and I'll buy, Dell.
You are a gentleman
and a scholar, sir.
A scholar and a gentleman.
Dell, I got
to pick up my horse.
That old nag?
She's friskier than you.
See you at the bar.
Hmm, what'll it be, cowboy?
I'll have the same.
Coming right up.
I told you she was a looker.
And please do not
scare this one away.
You're the one
with the restraining.
Yeah, restraining order
on my last girlfriend.
Yeah, ha ha.
Be that as it may, she's
good for this place.
She's the new owner.
Sara, Max.
Max, Sara.
Max.
Sarah.
Wanna share a bottle
of wine with me later?
Sure.
What?
What part of do not scare
her away do you not understand?
It's a bottle of wine, Dell.
It's good for the heart.
Not her heart.
On a lighter note,
how could you not see
the attack helicopter?
Systems glitch.
I'm from the government,
and I'm here to help.
Farley.
Max.
Farley.
Dell.
Who is the lovely addition
to this dusty watering hole?
New owner.
Oh, love it, simply love it.
Sara, this is Farley.
Farley.
What a pleasure it is to make
your acquaintance, my dear.
Ah, finally,
someone around here
who appreciates the
Queen's English.
Ruffians, we are
surrounded by ruffians.
You ain't just kiddin'.
Can I get you a drink?
An old-fashioned.
I like things the
old-fashioned way.
Well, in that
case, as you wish.
King and country
thank you two.
The pleasure is all ours.
Let's say we get inebriated
and talk about the future.
Why so friendly, Farley?
Yeah, what gives?
Time is of the essence,
and the bell tolls for thee.
Nothing you haven't done before.
This time, you may face a
little bit more pushback.
Right.
Come on, man.
It's just a date, Max.
Get on your bike.
She probably won't even show.
And if she doesn't show,
you can drink the
whole bottle yourself.
What's your story, Max?
I'm a pacifist
who lost his way.
Oh, really?
I don't think I've ever
heard of a pacifist
who's a jet fighter.
Max.
I was misinformed.
I mean, to be
honest, I really,
I don't understand this
whole jet fascination.
I am stunned,
Sara, simply stunned.
Okay, explain it to me.
Explain to me why being
a jet fighter is so cool.
It's a lot like being in love.
And it's that thundering force
you think you can control,
but you really can't.
And when you allow yourself to
fall head over heels deeply,
you become as one.
And it's zen, Sara, simply zen.
Maybe you'll let
me fly your jet?
You are my jet, Sara.
I hate the desert.
I hate the dust.
I hate the heat.
But I love history.
See that cell over there?
They say Billy the Kid
was held in that cell.
And that's why I'm going to
stay here for the next few days.
Are we in play?
We are indeed in play.
Good.
Max flies at sunrise.
Let the games begin, Farley.
Let the games begin.
And how did you sleep?
Or did you sleep at all?
Senator, I do not recall.
That's a first.
And does Sara know that
she rocked your world,
blew your jets, popped
your afterburners?
Are you finished?
Oh, I've got more,
but let's get down
to the work at hand.
You should be in visual
at three, two, one.
I do have visual.
Then bombs away on your go.
Locked, loaded.
And released.
That's what she said.
You've got company!
Bandits, three o'clock.
I see 'em.
Incoming!
Take a picture, send it to me.
Got it, you are faster and
lighter than these, Max.
You got this.
Copy that.
You're as swift
as they are slow.
You are a cheetah
on this savanna.
You're right out
of the racetrack.
You are a star, Max.
You're a.
- Kind of busy
up here, Dell.
Incoming, Max, incoming!
Nice shooting,
Max, nice shooting!
That new power I put
in really helps, huh?
Oh yeah.
And we're getting
new thrusters soon,
and you're going to be
faster than ever, Max.
Faster than ever.
Giddy up.
I need a drink.
I told you he was good.
That was just
a warmup, Farley.
I thought it was one and done.
Well, you thought wrong.
Biddle, I just.
Farley, this is a chess game,
a life and death chess game.
I make a lot of money
with Max and Dell.
I don't.
Don't what?
F-f-f.
Farley, this is going
ahead, with or without you.
Do you get where
I'm coming from?
Good.
Now give me just a
minute to plan round two.
And Farley,
you're going to send
that flyboy up again.
And when you do,
you want to get
front row tickets.
You're not gonna wanna
miss this action.
Yeah.
Hang on.
Um, what if I don't
like heights, Max?
Woo!
Max?
Hang on again.
Max, Max, Max, Max, Max, Max!
Zen, Sara, pure zen.
I won't let it end.
Max!
Promise.
Padre.
Max.
Church wine not
good enough for you?
I come here to schmooze.
I like to schmooze.
How is it you get served
in here before anyone else?
I know a guy.
That joke never gets old.
Who says it's a joke?
Hmm?
Oh, whew.
Oh.
Long time no see, Max.
Miss me yet?
Oh, yeah.
Max, I think those, I
think those were ours.
What?
Those might've been our
planes after you today.
Those might've been our planes
that you shot out of the sky.
That makes no sense, Dell.
Mr. Jet?
Mr. Maxwell Jet?
Maxwell, hmm.
Sara said you might
be able to help me.
Dell here manages
our contracts.
My dog is missing.
Well, uh, that's
not really something
we can handle for you.
That's not our
area of expertise.
She's as beautiful as
the morning sun and sweet.
You've never seen
a dog so sweet.
Did you check with
the local shelters?
Oh, I know where she is.
I just can't get to her.
I don't understand.
She's on a private
hunting preserve.
Just call them up and tell
them you want your dog back.
They'd shoot him.
What?
They hunt and shoot them
for sport, have for years.
Their hunting lodge is in the
middle of acres of wilderness.
I don't want my, I don't
want my dog to be part of it.
Did you alert the authorities?
I have, again and again.
They won't do nothin'.
I like dogs.
I don't have much money,
but I can give you what I can.
If you met her, you'd love her.
I like dogs.
Dell here will check out
your story and if it's true.
And if it is true?
We'll take care of it.
Okay.
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
Where are you going?
To make sure we're
locked and loaded.
As I said, I like dogs.
Oh.
Max, how are you?
Good to see you.
I think it's your
first time here, right?
Rustic, nice.
Well, I'm reminded
of that every time
I come into this
place, His place.
So anyway, what
can I do for you?
I just have a
question for you.
Ah, fire away, huh?
Ah, yay, a little humor
never hurt anyone.
Seriously though,
what can I do for you?
Why is there evil?
Oh, for heaven's sake.
Well, evil,
well, evil is the
absence of good.
And when there's a void
of good, evil fills it.
And before you ask,
God, God allows evil.
And because God allows evil,
God allows free will.
In other words, we are
the solution to evil.
Let me ask you a question.
Are you a good man?
I try, Padre.
Are you all good?
No.
Ah, well, you see,
there's the dilemma.
But we try, Max.
We try.
I take it you know what I do.
Yes, I've a pretty good idea.
I'm thinking I should stop.
Well, I suppose
you could do that,
but we need warriors, Max,
even flawed warriors.
And you know, you
may not be all good,
but we'll take what we can get.
Padre.
Remember, Max, God
needs his warriors.
I'm not sure this
is a great idea, Max.
I mean, I know you
like dogs and all but.
I like dogs better
than people, Dell.
Yeah, but this
seems a bit extreme.
They're man's
best friend, Dell.
Look it up.
I'm just saying, it seems
a bit extreme, even for us.
There's no one
in the lodge, Dell.
No harm, no foul.
Still extreme,
Max, still extreme.
Hey, after we do this, how's
she going to find her dog?
Like she said, it's
thousands of acres out there.
Her dog is chipped.
Just ask her for the frequency.
So I have to find it?
Heaven, Dell.
You're buying your
way into heaven.
One dog at a time.
Woof, woof.
Oh, funny, very funny.
Bite me.
Okay, hunting lodge should
be on your screen about.
I have visual.
Locked and loaded?
Locked and loaded.
Then the green light
to rain down destruction
is at your discretion.
Roger that.
On your mark.
Three, two, one.
Bombs away.
Mission accomplished, cowboy.
Come on home.
Max, Max, are you there?
Yeah.
Farley called.
Could be trouble.
Maybe he wants
to give us a raise.
Yeah, right.
You worry
too much, Dell.
And you don't worry
enough, Max, not nearly enough.
Why do you have
all this stuff?
Well, hello to you too.
One never knows when stuff
is going to be needed.
So?
So what?
What was so urgent?
Farley, he knows
everything, everything.
And what does that mean?
Well, he knows about
the hunting lodge bombing.
Oh, I'm shaking
in my boots now.
Farley says, and I quote,
"We know everything, everything.
A firecracker goes off in Des
Moines, we hear about it."
Firecracker in Des
Moines, Dell, really?
And he also said that he
trusts me more than you.
Well, Farley can kiss my.
I think the exact words
were, "Dell, you I can trust.
But Max, Max is a wild card
who colors too far
outside of the lines.
Make sure Max stays
inside of the lines, Dell,
for everyone's sake."
And your point?
Well, his point was
they have intel stating
that there are some
revenge seekers
from your little fiasco coming
our way, and if they show up,
you're supposed to
clean up your own mess.
Huh.
Then we better.
Start packing some heat.
Oh, yeah.
Hey, don't touch anything
if you don't know what it is.
On a lighter note,
Sara says she moved to
the desert for the waters.
That's kind of funny.
Mm, I like a gal
with a sense of humor.
Don't touch anything if
you don't know what it is!
I think I know what that is.
Oh yes, please.
Use your big brain and
tell us, Mr. Einstein.
You know, I could just bomb
all your garages
out of existence.
Is that your
solution to everything?
Just bomb it?
Mostly, yeah.
Were you dropped on
your head as a baby?
Is that where all
the rage comes from?
I don't have any rage, Dell.
Rage lives in my gun.
That's a pretty good line.
Yeah, I thought so.
Was that spontaneous,
or do you just have
to think about it?
Chicken and the egg,
Dell, chicken and the egg.
Well, if it was
spontaneous, it means more.
I really don't care.
No, we could have
a drinking game.
Spontaneous, 10 points.
You think about it, five points.
Loser buys the drinks.
Don't touch anything!
What are you?
A toddler?
That costs $27,000.
I could bomb that too.
Oh, I bet you could, incoming.
Incoming, Dell, incoming.
Oh yeah, I got this.
You didn't think
we'd find you, did you?
Did you?
You must be the
dog killer boys.
Oh, you won't be
smiling for long.
Oh, we are going to
have our fun with you.
And then, we are gonna
put an end to you!
Just you three?
Oh.
That will be more than enough.
I like dogs.
You're a lot of help.
Well, I didn't wanna
cramp your style.
Remember to tell Farley
there's a cleanup at the church.
The dog boys
have come and gone.
They came looking for
trouble but found a rumble.
They wanted to fight
but got a fright.
They.
- Are you finished?
I do have more,
but they can wait.
So tell me what happened
at the church, Max.
Well, let's just say that
friend of yours and her dog
had nothing to worry about.
Oh, that's great.
I got to go shake the snake.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Really appreciate that.
Duke.
Max.
I hear you've been
going kind of rogue.
You hear wrong.
Yeah, well, I also heard
there's a cat down the street
stuck in a tree that
needs some help.
Or do you only rescue dogs?
What I hear is your plane
can only get tree height, Duke.
Maybe you should take
care of that cat.
You know I've got allergies!
I'm a better pilot than you.
Always have been,
always will be.
You know it, I know it,
she knows it, everybody knows.
What I know.
That you need
another drink, Max.
You gonna have a girl fight
your battles for you now, Max?
Ah, I'll see you
in the sky, Max.
Don't forget about
that cat, Sara.
Duke.
Dell.
You blow hard.
Can you believe that guy?
I mean, he is
kind of a big deal.
- What?
- Well, many do say
he is the best pilot.
Many, what many?
Listen, it's nothing
for you to worry about.
Seriously, it's just hearsay.
It's just hearsay, Max.
Everyone knows you're
the best pilot.
That's right, everybody knows
you're the best pilot, Max.
Cheeky bastards.
He's doing the
same job as us, Max,
taking the bad guys
out for a dollar.
Only he might be doing
it a little bit better.
Cheeky bastards.
Okay, okay, we're all on
the same side here, folks.
And drink up, Max.
You'll get over it.
Farley's not gonna like it.
Up there doing tricks,
wasting fuel, having fun.
Farley can kiss my.
I'm just saying.
Hey, the engine's
running a little hot.
You better bring
her back, cowboy.
Copy that.
Hey, and go grab a bottle.
I'll check out the turbo fan.
Already there
in my head, Dell.
And make it a good
bottle this time.
None of that cheap
stuff, over and out.
Hey, Max, two
words, single malt.
Heard she's going to be as fast
or faster than
anything up there.
I don't trust him.
You gotta move
with the times, Max.
Tell Sinjay that.
We don't know for sure
that it was the turbo.
No one knows why he exploded
into a million pieces.
Looked like the 4th of July.
In September.
No one knows, Max.
Oh, wow, I feel all
nice and fuzzy now.
Sarcasm, really?
Nothing was ever proven, Max.
Tell Sinjay that.
Oh, wait, you can't.
You are way too
cynical, way too cynical.
How do you even get
by in this world
with that amount of cynicism?
It's tough, but
someone has to do it.
Mm, no, no, you.
No one has to do it, Max.
You, you choose to do it.
Turbo thrusters going in, Max.
Turbo thrusters going in.
Nothing was ever proven, Max.
Sorry, we're closed.
Is your boss around?
Looking for the new owner.
That'd be me.
Well, I am here to collect.
What exactly?
Think of it like
a, like a toll.
That doesn't look too bad.
- Oh, it's okay.
- She's fine,
just a scrap with
the collection boy.
I'm fine, Max.
The punk said he'd be
back tomorrow to collect.
Good.
Good?
Yeah, good.
Let him come.
Because we'll be here.
Well, that's good.
That's very good.
Oh, yeah.
Sorry, we're closed.
We know.
You.
You.
No.
Multiply.
You multiplied.
We couldn't trust
you to be alone.
She isn't.
Well, looks like you
brought the cavalry.
Looks like she did.
We're going to have to
collect from you two, too.
Looks like it.
Your collection
days are over, boys.
That check has
nothing but all zeros!
Yeehaw!
Yeehaw!
Yeehaw!
You, go.
He's talking to you.
Oh.
Hey, get over there!
I don't.
The guy's gonna shoot!
Oh, sh-.
Everyone move on three.
One, two, three!
Max!
Yee, aw.
I knew you were trouble
when I first saw ya.
You know, if I wanted
to hurt the girl,
I really could have.
Toll?
I've got your toll right here.
Tell Farley, "Clean
up on aisle four."
Oh, yeah.
Mighty nice shootin'.
It's not my first rodeo.
I know.
Where are you going?
It's beautiful up here.
It's beautiful
on the ground too, Max.
Don't forget that.
Time for round two, Farley.
I, I can't.
I can't do it.
Once was quite enough.
I'm not built for
lies and deceit.
Not built for lies and deceit?
Your whole career is
built on lies and deceit.
That's what you do, Farley.
That's what we do.
I can't do it.
I can't do it again.
Please, don't ask.
I'm not asking you.
I'm telling you.
You've seen too much, Farley.
And what do we do to people
who've seen too much?
Just like in a Greek tragedy,
we pluck out their eyeballs.
Do you want me to pluck
out your eyes, do you?
What?
No, please.
I can't hear you!
Please don't
pluck out my eyes.
Good.
Now, you're going to send
that flyboy up again.
And between you and
me, when you do.
What?
He's not going to make it!
Am I going to make it?
Target should be visible.
I got it.
Then let her rip.
Bingo.
Bango.
Bombo.
You've got bandits, Max.
Bandits, three bandits.
Yeah, I see 'em.
Tighter and faster than
those other ones, Max.
Could be trouble.
Bob and weave,
Max, bob and weave!
I need more than
platitudes, Dell.
Roger that.
Incoming, incoming!
Now, now, now,
let her rip again!
Smooth move,
cowboy, smooth move!
Still on your tail,
still on your tail.
On your six, Max, on your six!
Yee-haw.
Bravo, Zulu.
Well done indeed,
Max, well done indeed.
Last one at the bar,
buys the drinks.
Now, why doesn't
that surprise me?
Dell?
Dell?
Dell.
I gotta land the plane, Dell.
Mm.
Hm, all jets have
heat signatures,
and all signatures are
paired to a particular plane.
Those were our jets
coming after Max.
Who did I bomb out
of existence, Farley?
Oh, do I have to say?
You do if you want
us working for you.
I see.
Well then [Farley sighs].
It was a deep state AI facility.
Let me guess, it went rogue.
It was trying very hard.
When we were first notified,
we put clamps on the site.
It broke through within minutes.
We repeated with more
security measures.
It went silent.
Little did we know,
it was out of the box.
There was little we could do.
It set out to do
large scale damage.
So you hired us
to take it out.
We can write it off as an
unfriendly nation's operation.
Win-win.
So why did you send
your jets after Max?
We didn't.
AI did.
The pilots of those
planes were AI formulated.
No humans were involved.
The AI entity
became aware of Max
within seconds of the
site being obliterated.
Within those seconds, it
launched revenge measures.
Whoa, no, hold
on, wait a minute.
Revenge measures?
How can it have
thoughts of revenge?
Within seconds, it performed
trillions of calculations.
You don't think
something that smart
is going to let Max here
attack without repercussions?
So, revenge.
The entity knew it was
about to be destroyed,
but had the intelligence
to create countermeasures.
One has to marvel
at such a thing.
You marvel at it, Farley.
I'll bomb it.
So no one's coming
after us, right?
There are very few
Black Ops operators
that do what you do.
Max, we need you.
And Dell?
Oh, him too.
We understand you
two come as a team.
All for one end, like that.
How did you do it?
How did you defeat
three AI pilots
when they were always
10 steps ahead of you?
Instinct.
You hear that, Farley?
Human instinct.
Kind of makes you marvel
at it, doesn't it?
Or maybe it's just luck.
Tch.
Until the next time.
Why do we work for that guy?
Money.
Who sanctioned the hit?
Biddle.
Biddle?
Yeah, Biddle.
Who's Biddle?
I know Biddle.
How do you know Biddle?
Why don't I know Biddle?
I know Biddle.
You know Biddle?
Yeah, I know Biddle.
How do you know Biddle?
Why don't I know Biddle?
I can introduce you.
Oh, I'll introduce
you to Biddle.
I can introduce you to Biddle,
but I still don't get it.
Who doesn't know Biddle?
He's some sort of big
shot with the government.
He's been in here a few
times looking around.
It's like he doesn't.
- Trust us.
That's what I was saying.
Who the hell is Biddle?
Oh.
Doesn't he sign your checks?
Ah, are you Biddle?
Your boy,
Biddle, is connected.
Why here?
We can't be heard.
Your boy, Biddle, is connected,
and I mean very connected.
And he's clever and cruel.
Very, very brutal.
So use caution
with this guy, Max.
But.
But what, Stella?
Up until a few years
ago, Biddle doesn't exist.
No paper trail,
no digital trail.
It's like he appeared
out of nowhere.
Bottom line?
Bottom line is you're
dealing with a sociopath.
Get out of jail free card.
Not a good combination, Max.
Yo.
Well, I have good
news and bad news.
Give me the bad.
Farley gave Duke
our new assignment.
What?
Yeah.
And the good news?
New thrusters are in.
Oh, I feel all nice
and safe now, Dell.
That's what I get?
That's what I get for
working around the clock
to give you new thrusters
that are going to make
you faster than ever?
We were already fast, Dell.
Well, now you're faster.
You're faster.
I need a drink.
You're faster.
I'm going for a drink.
You're faster!
Can't please anyone.
Yeah, yes.
Yeah, understood, Farley.
Max.
What?
Max, Farley needs us to
complete Duke's mission.
Why?
Duke's plane was shot down.
And Duke?
I'm not going up, Dell.
You have to go
up, that's the job.
I'm not going up.
You have to go up.
What if Duke was
the better pilot?
Duke was a pain in the ass.
He was not the better pilot.
And if he was the better
pilot, what chance do I have?
You have to go up.
Is this because of Sara?
Why?
Because if you don't go up,
Farley says they'll bomb
Sara's bar, that's why.
Is this AI again?
Biddle's running the show,
AI against real pilots.
I guess I'm going up.
You tell Farley
if I make it back, make
sure Biddle's at the bar.
If you make it back, if.
You never talked
like this before.
I never had Sara before.
Noted.
And if I don't make it back
down, please feed my cat.
You don't have a cat, Max.
Meow!
Oh, Max, good to see you.
I'm a bit pressed
for time today, Padre.
Well, fire away.
Is there a hereafter?
Oh, for goodness sake.
Of course there is.
It's the kingdom of heaven
and the resurrection of the life
when the body's raised
up in power and glory
and becomes a spiritual one
born again of God's Holy Spirit.
You really believe that?
Oh, yes, I certainly
do with all my heart.
Good to know.
And there's always
an alternative.
But let's not
dwell on that, Max.
So is there anything else?
Nope, I'm good to go, Padre.
Remember, Max, His house
is always open to you.
Don't go up.
It's my job.
Have him
send someone else.
There's no one else.
Oh, Max, I have
a bad feeling about this.
It'll be all right.
Well, if
you're going up,
give 'em hell.
You took the words
right out of my mouth.
Promise me
you'll come back.
I promise.
Good.
I feel better now
that you promised.
You can't break
your promise to me.
I know.
Good.
Very good.
It's just
another fight, Max.
Just another fight.
You may not come
back from this one.
You may not come back.
So you better go have
yourself some fun, man.
Which is now Max, which is now.
Come on, Dell, drive
like you mean it.
It's not fair,
you have a faster buggy.
And you want to put
new thrusters in our jet.
I did put them in,
and now our jet is
faster than ever.
You know that!
What I know is that a
dune buggy is not a jet.
Look it up.
Yee-haw!
Haii,
wait, oh, my back!
I love the
desert, desert.
These are good times, Dell.
Having
cold ones at the bar
are the good times, Max.
It's time, Max.
I'm pulling away, Dell.
It's time
to go back, Max.
Max.
I love the desert, Dell.
I know you
do, Max, I know you do,
but we have to go back.
We have to go up,
Max, it's time.
It's time to go up.
It's what you do best,
Max, fight and fly.
Would you have gone up if they
hadn't threatened the bar?
I wouldn't have missed this
dogfight for the world, Dell.
I knew it.
You just wanted the drama.
And hopefully
payback for Duke.
Max, don't take
them for granted.
Copy that.
You should be at the
rendezvous area any second.
I'm here and there
are three of 'em.
Uh-oh.
Uh-oh, what?
They're five,
Max, five bandits.
Five, that's going
to be a problem, Dell.
I'll be your
second set of eyes.
Oh, I feel all
warm and fuzzy now.
I heard that.
Incoming, Max, incoming!
Max, move, Max, move!
Evasive action, come on!
Oh, yeah?
Down, boy, down.
Gotcha.
One to go, Max.
For Duke, Dell.
For Duke.
I'm out.
What?
You can't be.
I'm out, Dell.
Then the only
thing to do is to.
Oh, yeah.
Where is he?
He's heading straight
for the bar, Max.
He's heading
straight for the bar.
Get everyone out, Dell.
I can't, Max, I can't.
Ground comms are dead.
AI blocked me.
I got nothin'.
Sara.
Place is crowded, she's
gonna be there, Max.
You've got 60
seconds to intercept.
I don't have the speed, Dell!
Try the new thrusters.
We haven't even
tested them, Dell.
I know.
I, I know you'll
probably get fried
when you try them, but
I think they'll work.
Think they'll work?
I'm sorry, Max.
I'm sorry, but it's the
new thrusters or nothing.
Balls to the wall!
Max!
Feed my cat if I
don't make it down.
I will, I will, Max.
You'll have one second to
eject when you're ramming.
Three,
two,
one.
Max, eject, eject, Max!
Max.
I am so, so sorry, Sara.
I'm so sorry.
We're holding a
vigil at the church.
I'm so sorry, my child.
Hang on, buddy, I'm comin'.
Don't you die on me, Max.
Don't you die on me!
If you can hear me,
I'm comin', Max.
Hang on there, buddy.
Hang on, Max!
Somebody call for a ride?
Wow.
Where's Biddle?
On his way.
Max, I think Biddle
is coming to kill you.
Biddle can kiss my.
He's run over a hundred
thousand computer simulations.
And yet?
And yet.
You defeated him every time.
And yet.
He said it wasn't possible.
And yet.
He said you're not.
What?
He said you're not normal.
Where's Sara?
At the church vigil for you.
I'll stand watch.
Well, that's kind of nice.
That is kind of nice.
You know, we probably
won't survive it.
Probably not.
You still have time
to walk away, Dell.
I'm not going anywhere.
All for one and one
for blah, blah, blah.
I'll feed your cat
if you don't make it.
I don't have a cat.
He's here.
And he's not alone.
Oh.
I'm from the government,
and I'm here to help.
Max.
You must be Biddle.
Hank.
Your buddies know they're
not walking out of here today?
What is it about you guys?
How much money do you need?
How much power?
AI is power, Max.
AI is power!
And power is money.
In fact, power is everything.
AI is everything!
AI is here to save
you from yourselves.
You're playing both sides.
You're a rogue agent
working for the government.
AI is power!
AI is everything!
AI is power!
Max, hold on!
What?
Got an idea!
Hurry up, Dell!
AI!
AI!
AI!
Come on!
AI is everything!
AI, AI, AI, AI,
AI, AI, AI, AI,
AI, AI, AI, AI.
What's going on, Dell?
I isolated the AI sub-routines
and disabled Biddle's
posse program.
You see, I ran a system analysis
of the frequency modulation
of the backend neural network,
and then I rerouted the
encryptions on his firewall
and programmed the
rootkit nanovirus
to attack his logic drive!
What?
A nanovirus, Max, a nanovirus!
What the hell is this, Dell?
DI, Dell Intelligence!
AI is allowing us to wage
war without accountability.
It's the perfect
delivery system.
It's the perfect excuse.
AI made me do it.
But war is what is
needed right now.
And I'm not talking about
tiny little skirmishes.
I'm talking about big
ball busting conflicts.
Too many people on
the planet, Max.
Too many people think
that they count.
I'm here to tell you,
they don't count.
They're a drain on the system.
They're a drain on resources.
And AI will get rid of them.
First, AI takes their jobs.
Then, AI takes their lives.
And at the end of the day,
all that will be left is us.
We will be the only
ones who count.
We will be the only
ones that matter.
We few, we chosen few!
We will rule the world.
And the idiots in charge?
They gave us AI.
Practically begged
us to take it,
and take it, we did.
And there's no going back now.
The genie's out of the bottle.
You're extinct, Max.
You're extinct, and
you don't even know it.
You think I'm playing
God through AI, Max?
No, Max.
Fact is, I am God!
Not my God.
It's not possible.
AI my ass.
Nanovirus, Dell?
Like a Boy Scout, be prepared.
Oh my gosh.
Max, I can't believe
you're alive.
Should have seen my nanovirus.
Nanovirus?
I don't even know if
I should talk to you
now that you're extinct.
Yeah, how does it
feel to be extinct, Max?
You cheeky bastards.
Hey, hey, Padre.
Padre, I, I heard a voice.
You heard a voice?
Wait,
you heard a voice?
You
heard a voice when?
When my plane was going down
and then again in the desert.
Did you really
hear a voice, Max?
You never told me
you heard a voice.
What did
this voice say?
Yes, what
did the voice say?
It asked what my last
thought was before the crash.
What was your
last thought, Max?
It was of you.
You are my jet, Sara.
Let's get plastered!
So let me
get this straight,
you believe there
are little green men
flying in our airspace,
and you and these
little green men
have decided to have a best
of five series of air fights?
And these air fights
are winner take all,
meaning the winner rules
the world, our world?
And these little green men
have chosen their
champion to fight.
And for some silly reason,
you want me to be our champion?
Me?
You are stark, raving mad.
But fellas, I wouldn't miss this
dog fight for the
world, pun intended.
with you wasting fuel
and having some fun taking
part in a drag race.
Farley can kiss mine.
Stop it.
Duke challenged me.
Duke is a blowhard,
yanking your chain, Max.
He challenged me, Dell.
Do you have to accept every
challenge that comes your way?
Kind of, yeah.
And just how will
you justify drag racing
a paltry 100 feet
in multimillion
dollar fighter jets?
One small step for man,
one giant leap.
It's not the moon.
It's 100 feet, Max.
100 feet.
I got this.
Oh man, if we must, let's
get this party started.
Gentlemen, and I use
that term very loosely.
On my mark.
Three, two, one.
I won, Duke.
You know
I've got allergies.
What I know is
I won, Dell.
Bully for you, Max.
Ah, sore loser
Duke is leaving us.
You always have to win
at everything, don't you?
No.
I just have to win at
everything to do with jets.
Finally, we
agree on something.
Now, can we get back to work
and making money, please?
One small step.
Stop it.
One giant.
Please, stop!
I can't take it anymore.
You won, Max, you won.
Was that so hard to say?
You know, it was.
It really was.
You're a better man for it.
You just won't stop, will you?
No, I'm wrong.
You can't stop.
You're like that bunny
in those commercials.
I'm more like the road runner.
Oh, please.
Beep, beep, Dell.
Beep, beep.
You're gonna make me cry.
She's hostile to me, Max.
You're too sensitive.
Sensitive?
She had a knife and was
threatening to stab me with it.
How is that too sensitive?
Point taken.
Get it?
Point.
Very funny, very funny.
But I like her, kind of.
A lot.
Kind of.
Maybe we should try
couples therapy.
Couples therapy?
You should move out, Dell.
Move out?
Really?
She was going to
stab you with a knife.
I hear you.
So are you a free Saturday?
No.
Then how am I
going to move out?
You know I don't like
strangers touching my things.
I can see now why
she had that knife.
Funny, very funny.
All systems are green.
You are good to go, Max.
Copy that.
Still a few clicks
away from target.
Switch to radar cloaking.
I wish.
All the big guys
have cloaking.
Why don't we have
radar cloaking?
Can't cloak it if it
doesn't exist, Dell.
Cloaking shmoking.
But think of the money
we're making, Max.
Think of the money
we're making on this one
and eliminating bad guys too.
It's a win-win, Max.
Win-win.
I do it for the children.
You are way too cynical, Max.
Way too cynical.
How's she handling?
Like a flyer's dream girl.
Then let's go
get them, cowboy.
Yeehaw.
Evasive action, Max.
Evasive action,
incoming, incoming!
I got it, Dell.
Max, evasive.
Look, they're on you.
I'm flipping the bird.
Payback time, Dell.
Nice shot.
Payback has come.
Payback has gone.
Primary target now in range.
Bingo.
Bango.
Bombo.
Ah, drinks on me
when you get here.
Say that again?
I mean, drinks at the
bar when you get here.
You haven't bought
a drink, Dell, since.
Since I got my third
divorce, Mary Beth.
Ohh, I know, you
don't have to tell me.
And you don't have to rub it in.
Have the drinks ready
and I'll buy, Dell.
You are a gentleman
and a scholar, sir.
A scholar and a gentleman.
Dell, I got
to pick up my horse.
That old nag?
She's friskier than you.
See you at the bar.
Hmm, what'll it be, cowboy?
I'll have the same.
Coming right up.
I told you she was a looker.
And please do not
scare this one away.
You're the one
with the restraining.
Yeah, restraining order
on my last girlfriend.
Yeah, ha ha.
Be that as it may, she's
good for this place.
She's the new owner.
Sara, Max.
Max, Sara.
Max.
Sarah.
Wanna share a bottle
of wine with me later?
Sure.
What?
What part of do not scare
her away do you not understand?
It's a bottle of wine, Dell.
It's good for the heart.
Not her heart.
On a lighter note,
how could you not see
the attack helicopter?
Systems glitch.
I'm from the government,
and I'm here to help.
Farley.
Max.
Farley.
Dell.
Who is the lovely addition
to this dusty watering hole?
New owner.
Oh, love it, simply love it.
Sara, this is Farley.
Farley.
What a pleasure it is to make
your acquaintance, my dear.
Ah, finally,
someone around here
who appreciates the
Queen's English.
Ruffians, we are
surrounded by ruffians.
You ain't just kiddin'.
Can I get you a drink?
An old-fashioned.
I like things the
old-fashioned way.
Well, in that
case, as you wish.
King and country
thank you two.
The pleasure is all ours.
Let's say we get inebriated
and talk about the future.
Why so friendly, Farley?
Yeah, what gives?
Time is of the essence,
and the bell tolls for thee.
Nothing you haven't done before.
This time, you may face a
little bit more pushback.
Right.
Come on, man.
It's just a date, Max.
Get on your bike.
She probably won't even show.
And if she doesn't show,
you can drink the
whole bottle yourself.
What's your story, Max?
I'm a pacifist
who lost his way.
Oh, really?
I don't think I've ever
heard of a pacifist
who's a jet fighter.
Max.
I was misinformed.
I mean, to be
honest, I really,
I don't understand this
whole jet fascination.
I am stunned,
Sara, simply stunned.
Okay, explain it to me.
Explain to me why being
a jet fighter is so cool.
It's a lot like being in love.
And it's that thundering force
you think you can control,
but you really can't.
And when you allow yourself to
fall head over heels deeply,
you become as one.
And it's zen, Sara, simply zen.
Maybe you'll let
me fly your jet?
You are my jet, Sara.
I hate the desert.
I hate the dust.
I hate the heat.
But I love history.
See that cell over there?
They say Billy the Kid
was held in that cell.
And that's why I'm going to
stay here for the next few days.
Are we in play?
We are indeed in play.
Good.
Max flies at sunrise.
Let the games begin, Farley.
Let the games begin.
And how did you sleep?
Or did you sleep at all?
Senator, I do not recall.
That's a first.
And does Sara know that
she rocked your world,
blew your jets, popped
your afterburners?
Are you finished?
Oh, I've got more,
but let's get down
to the work at hand.
You should be in visual
at three, two, one.
I do have visual.
Then bombs away on your go.
Locked, loaded.
And released.
That's what she said.
You've got company!
Bandits, three o'clock.
I see 'em.
Incoming!
Take a picture, send it to me.
Got it, you are faster and
lighter than these, Max.
You got this.
Copy that.
You're as swift
as they are slow.
You are a cheetah
on this savanna.
You're right out
of the racetrack.
You are a star, Max.
You're a.
- Kind of busy
up here, Dell.
Incoming, Max, incoming!
Nice shooting,
Max, nice shooting!
That new power I put
in really helps, huh?
Oh yeah.
And we're getting
new thrusters soon,
and you're going to be
faster than ever, Max.
Faster than ever.
Giddy up.
I need a drink.
I told you he was good.
That was just
a warmup, Farley.
I thought it was one and done.
Well, you thought wrong.
Biddle, I just.
Farley, this is a chess game,
a life and death chess game.
I make a lot of money
with Max and Dell.
I don't.
Don't what?
F-f-f.
Farley, this is going
ahead, with or without you.
Do you get where
I'm coming from?
Good.
Now give me just a
minute to plan round two.
And Farley,
you're going to send
that flyboy up again.
And when you do,
you want to get
front row tickets.
You're not gonna wanna
miss this action.
Yeah.
Hang on.
Um, what if I don't
like heights, Max?
Woo!
Max?
Hang on again.
Max, Max, Max, Max, Max, Max!
Zen, Sara, pure zen.
I won't let it end.
Max!
Promise.
Padre.
Max.
Church wine not
good enough for you?
I come here to schmooze.
I like to schmooze.
How is it you get served
in here before anyone else?
I know a guy.
That joke never gets old.
Who says it's a joke?
Hmm?
Oh, whew.
Oh.
Long time no see, Max.
Miss me yet?
Oh, yeah.
Max, I think those, I
think those were ours.
What?
Those might've been our
planes after you today.
Those might've been our planes
that you shot out of the sky.
That makes no sense, Dell.
Mr. Jet?
Mr. Maxwell Jet?
Maxwell, hmm.
Sara said you might
be able to help me.
Dell here manages
our contracts.
My dog is missing.
Well, uh, that's
not really something
we can handle for you.
That's not our
area of expertise.
She's as beautiful as
the morning sun and sweet.
You've never seen
a dog so sweet.
Did you check with
the local shelters?
Oh, I know where she is.
I just can't get to her.
I don't understand.
She's on a private
hunting preserve.
Just call them up and tell
them you want your dog back.
They'd shoot him.
What?
They hunt and shoot them
for sport, have for years.
Their hunting lodge is in the
middle of acres of wilderness.
I don't want my, I don't
want my dog to be part of it.
Did you alert the authorities?
I have, again and again.
They won't do nothin'.
I like dogs.
I don't have much money,
but I can give you what I can.
If you met her, you'd love her.
I like dogs.
Dell here will check out
your story and if it's true.
And if it is true?
We'll take care of it.
Okay.
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
Where are you going?
To make sure we're
locked and loaded.
As I said, I like dogs.
Oh.
Max, how are you?
Good to see you.
I think it's your
first time here, right?
Rustic, nice.
Well, I'm reminded
of that every time
I come into this
place, His place.
So anyway, what
can I do for you?
I just have a
question for you.
Ah, fire away, huh?
Ah, yay, a little humor
never hurt anyone.
Seriously though,
what can I do for you?
Why is there evil?
Oh, for heaven's sake.
Well, evil,
well, evil is the
absence of good.
And when there's a void
of good, evil fills it.
And before you ask,
God, God allows evil.
And because God allows evil,
God allows free will.
In other words, we are
the solution to evil.
Let me ask you a question.
Are you a good man?
I try, Padre.
Are you all good?
No.
Ah, well, you see,
there's the dilemma.
But we try, Max.
We try.
I take it you know what I do.
Yes, I've a pretty good idea.
I'm thinking I should stop.
Well, I suppose
you could do that,
but we need warriors, Max,
even flawed warriors.
And you know, you
may not be all good,
but we'll take what we can get.
Padre.
Remember, Max, God
needs his warriors.
I'm not sure this
is a great idea, Max.
I mean, I know you
like dogs and all but.
I like dogs better
than people, Dell.
Yeah, but this
seems a bit extreme.
They're man's
best friend, Dell.
Look it up.
I'm just saying, it seems
a bit extreme, even for us.
There's no one
in the lodge, Dell.
No harm, no foul.
Still extreme,
Max, still extreme.
Hey, after we do this, how's
she going to find her dog?
Like she said, it's
thousands of acres out there.
Her dog is chipped.
Just ask her for the frequency.
So I have to find it?
Heaven, Dell.
You're buying your
way into heaven.
One dog at a time.
Woof, woof.
Oh, funny, very funny.
Bite me.
Okay, hunting lodge should
be on your screen about.
I have visual.
Locked and loaded?
Locked and loaded.
Then the green light
to rain down destruction
is at your discretion.
Roger that.
On your mark.
Three, two, one.
Bombs away.
Mission accomplished, cowboy.
Come on home.
Max, Max, are you there?
Yeah.
Farley called.
Could be trouble.
Maybe he wants
to give us a raise.
Yeah, right.
You worry
too much, Dell.
And you don't worry
enough, Max, not nearly enough.
Why do you have
all this stuff?
Well, hello to you too.
One never knows when stuff
is going to be needed.
So?
So what?
What was so urgent?
Farley, he knows
everything, everything.
And what does that mean?
Well, he knows about
the hunting lodge bombing.
Oh, I'm shaking
in my boots now.
Farley says, and I quote,
"We know everything, everything.
A firecracker goes off in Des
Moines, we hear about it."
Firecracker in Des
Moines, Dell, really?
And he also said that he
trusts me more than you.
Well, Farley can kiss my.
I think the exact words
were, "Dell, you I can trust.
But Max, Max is a wild card
who colors too far
outside of the lines.
Make sure Max stays
inside of the lines, Dell,
for everyone's sake."
And your point?
Well, his point was
they have intel stating
that there are some
revenge seekers
from your little fiasco coming
our way, and if they show up,
you're supposed to
clean up your own mess.
Huh.
Then we better.
Start packing some heat.
Oh, yeah.
Hey, don't touch anything
if you don't know what it is.
On a lighter note,
Sara says she moved to
the desert for the waters.
That's kind of funny.
Mm, I like a gal
with a sense of humor.
Don't touch anything if
you don't know what it is!
I think I know what that is.
Oh yes, please.
Use your big brain and
tell us, Mr. Einstein.
You know, I could just bomb
all your garages
out of existence.
Is that your
solution to everything?
Just bomb it?
Mostly, yeah.
Were you dropped on
your head as a baby?
Is that where all
the rage comes from?
I don't have any rage, Dell.
Rage lives in my gun.
That's a pretty good line.
Yeah, I thought so.
Was that spontaneous,
or do you just have
to think about it?
Chicken and the egg,
Dell, chicken and the egg.
Well, if it was
spontaneous, it means more.
I really don't care.
No, we could have
a drinking game.
Spontaneous, 10 points.
You think about it, five points.
Loser buys the drinks.
Don't touch anything!
What are you?
A toddler?
That costs $27,000.
I could bomb that too.
Oh, I bet you could, incoming.
Incoming, Dell, incoming.
Oh yeah, I got this.
You didn't think
we'd find you, did you?
Did you?
You must be the
dog killer boys.
Oh, you won't be
smiling for long.
Oh, we are going to
have our fun with you.
And then, we are gonna
put an end to you!
Just you three?
Oh.
That will be more than enough.
I like dogs.
You're a lot of help.
Well, I didn't wanna
cramp your style.
Remember to tell Farley
there's a cleanup at the church.
The dog boys
have come and gone.
They came looking for
trouble but found a rumble.
They wanted to fight
but got a fright.
They.
- Are you finished?
I do have more,
but they can wait.
So tell me what happened
at the church, Max.
Well, let's just say that
friend of yours and her dog
had nothing to worry about.
Oh, that's great.
I got to go shake the snake.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Really appreciate that.
Duke.
Max.
I hear you've been
going kind of rogue.
You hear wrong.
Yeah, well, I also heard
there's a cat down the street
stuck in a tree that
needs some help.
Or do you only rescue dogs?
What I hear is your plane
can only get tree height, Duke.
Maybe you should take
care of that cat.
You know I've got allergies!
I'm a better pilot than you.
Always have been,
always will be.
You know it, I know it,
she knows it, everybody knows.
What I know.
That you need
another drink, Max.
You gonna have a girl fight
your battles for you now, Max?
Ah, I'll see you
in the sky, Max.
Don't forget about
that cat, Sara.
Duke.
Dell.
You blow hard.
Can you believe that guy?
I mean, he is
kind of a big deal.
- What?
- Well, many do say
he is the best pilot.
Many, what many?
Listen, it's nothing
for you to worry about.
Seriously, it's just hearsay.
It's just hearsay, Max.
Everyone knows you're
the best pilot.
That's right, everybody knows
you're the best pilot, Max.
Cheeky bastards.
He's doing the
same job as us, Max,
taking the bad guys
out for a dollar.
Only he might be doing
it a little bit better.
Cheeky bastards.
Okay, okay, we're all on
the same side here, folks.
And drink up, Max.
You'll get over it.
Farley's not gonna like it.
Up there doing tricks,
wasting fuel, having fun.
Farley can kiss my.
I'm just saying.
Hey, the engine's
running a little hot.
You better bring
her back, cowboy.
Copy that.
Hey, and go grab a bottle.
I'll check out the turbo fan.
Already there
in my head, Dell.
And make it a good
bottle this time.
None of that cheap
stuff, over and out.
Hey, Max, two
words, single malt.
Heard she's going to be as fast
or faster than
anything up there.
I don't trust him.
You gotta move
with the times, Max.
Tell Sinjay that.
We don't know for sure
that it was the turbo.
No one knows why he exploded
into a million pieces.
Looked like the 4th of July.
In September.
No one knows, Max.
Oh, wow, I feel all
nice and fuzzy now.
Sarcasm, really?
Nothing was ever proven, Max.
Tell Sinjay that.
Oh, wait, you can't.
You are way too
cynical, way too cynical.
How do you even get
by in this world
with that amount of cynicism?
It's tough, but
someone has to do it.
Mm, no, no, you.
No one has to do it, Max.
You, you choose to do it.
Turbo thrusters going in, Max.
Turbo thrusters going in.
Nothing was ever proven, Max.
Sorry, we're closed.
Is your boss around?
Looking for the new owner.
That'd be me.
Well, I am here to collect.
What exactly?
Think of it like
a, like a toll.
That doesn't look too bad.
- Oh, it's okay.
- She's fine,
just a scrap with
the collection boy.
I'm fine, Max.
The punk said he'd be
back tomorrow to collect.
Good.
Good?
Yeah, good.
Let him come.
Because we'll be here.
Well, that's good.
That's very good.
Oh, yeah.
Sorry, we're closed.
We know.
You.
You.
No.
Multiply.
You multiplied.
We couldn't trust
you to be alone.
She isn't.
Well, looks like you
brought the cavalry.
Looks like she did.
We're going to have to
collect from you two, too.
Looks like it.
Your collection
days are over, boys.
That check has
nothing but all zeros!
Yeehaw!
Yeehaw!
Yeehaw!
You, go.
He's talking to you.
Oh.
Hey, get over there!
I don't.
The guy's gonna shoot!
Oh, sh-.
Everyone move on three.
One, two, three!
Max!
Yee, aw.
I knew you were trouble
when I first saw ya.
You know, if I wanted
to hurt the girl,
I really could have.
Toll?
I've got your toll right here.
Tell Farley, "Clean
up on aisle four."
Oh, yeah.
Mighty nice shootin'.
It's not my first rodeo.
I know.
Where are you going?
It's beautiful up here.
It's beautiful
on the ground too, Max.
Don't forget that.
Time for round two, Farley.
I, I can't.
I can't do it.
Once was quite enough.
I'm not built for
lies and deceit.
Not built for lies and deceit?
Your whole career is
built on lies and deceit.
That's what you do, Farley.
That's what we do.
I can't do it.
I can't do it again.
Please, don't ask.
I'm not asking you.
I'm telling you.
You've seen too much, Farley.
And what do we do to people
who've seen too much?
Just like in a Greek tragedy,
we pluck out their eyeballs.
Do you want me to pluck
out your eyes, do you?
What?
No, please.
I can't hear you!
Please don't
pluck out my eyes.
Good.
Now, you're going to send
that flyboy up again.
And between you and
me, when you do.
What?
He's not going to make it!
Am I going to make it?
Target should be visible.
I got it.
Then let her rip.
Bingo.
Bango.
Bombo.
You've got bandits, Max.
Bandits, three bandits.
Yeah, I see 'em.
Tighter and faster than
those other ones, Max.
Could be trouble.
Bob and weave,
Max, bob and weave!
I need more than
platitudes, Dell.
Roger that.
Incoming, incoming!
Now, now, now,
let her rip again!
Smooth move,
cowboy, smooth move!
Still on your tail,
still on your tail.
On your six, Max, on your six!
Yee-haw.
Bravo, Zulu.
Well done indeed,
Max, well done indeed.
Last one at the bar,
buys the drinks.
Now, why doesn't
that surprise me?
Dell?
Dell?
Dell.
I gotta land the plane, Dell.
Mm.
Hm, all jets have
heat signatures,
and all signatures are
paired to a particular plane.
Those were our jets
coming after Max.
Who did I bomb out
of existence, Farley?
Oh, do I have to say?
You do if you want
us working for you.
I see.
Well then [Farley sighs].
It was a deep state AI facility.
Let me guess, it went rogue.
It was trying very hard.
When we were first notified,
we put clamps on the site.
It broke through within minutes.
We repeated with more
security measures.
It went silent.
Little did we know,
it was out of the box.
There was little we could do.
It set out to do
large scale damage.
So you hired us
to take it out.
We can write it off as an
unfriendly nation's operation.
Win-win.
So why did you send
your jets after Max?
We didn't.
AI did.
The pilots of those
planes were AI formulated.
No humans were involved.
The AI entity
became aware of Max
within seconds of the
site being obliterated.
Within those seconds, it
launched revenge measures.
Whoa, no, hold
on, wait a minute.
Revenge measures?
How can it have
thoughts of revenge?
Within seconds, it performed
trillions of calculations.
You don't think
something that smart
is going to let Max here
attack without repercussions?
So, revenge.
The entity knew it was
about to be destroyed,
but had the intelligence
to create countermeasures.
One has to marvel
at such a thing.
You marvel at it, Farley.
I'll bomb it.
So no one's coming
after us, right?
There are very few
Black Ops operators
that do what you do.
Max, we need you.
And Dell?
Oh, him too.
We understand you
two come as a team.
All for one end, like that.
How did you do it?
How did you defeat
three AI pilots
when they were always
10 steps ahead of you?
Instinct.
You hear that, Farley?
Human instinct.
Kind of makes you marvel
at it, doesn't it?
Or maybe it's just luck.
Tch.
Until the next time.
Why do we work for that guy?
Money.
Who sanctioned the hit?
Biddle.
Biddle?
Yeah, Biddle.
Who's Biddle?
I know Biddle.
How do you know Biddle?
Why don't I know Biddle?
I know Biddle.
You know Biddle?
Yeah, I know Biddle.
How do you know Biddle?
Why don't I know Biddle?
I can introduce you.
Oh, I'll introduce
you to Biddle.
I can introduce you to Biddle,
but I still don't get it.
Who doesn't know Biddle?
He's some sort of big
shot with the government.
He's been in here a few
times looking around.
It's like he doesn't.
- Trust us.
That's what I was saying.
Who the hell is Biddle?
Oh.
Doesn't he sign your checks?
Ah, are you Biddle?
Your boy,
Biddle, is connected.
Why here?
We can't be heard.
Your boy, Biddle, is connected,
and I mean very connected.
And he's clever and cruel.
Very, very brutal.
So use caution
with this guy, Max.
But.
But what, Stella?
Up until a few years
ago, Biddle doesn't exist.
No paper trail,
no digital trail.
It's like he appeared
out of nowhere.
Bottom line?
Bottom line is you're
dealing with a sociopath.
Get out of jail free card.
Not a good combination, Max.
Yo.
Well, I have good
news and bad news.
Give me the bad.
Farley gave Duke
our new assignment.
What?
Yeah.
And the good news?
New thrusters are in.
Oh, I feel all nice
and safe now, Dell.
That's what I get?
That's what I get for
working around the clock
to give you new thrusters
that are going to make
you faster than ever?
We were already fast, Dell.
Well, now you're faster.
You're faster.
I need a drink.
You're faster.
I'm going for a drink.
You're faster!
Can't please anyone.
Yeah, yes.
Yeah, understood, Farley.
Max.
What?
Max, Farley needs us to
complete Duke's mission.
Why?
Duke's plane was shot down.
And Duke?
I'm not going up, Dell.
You have to go
up, that's the job.
I'm not going up.
You have to go up.
What if Duke was
the better pilot?
Duke was a pain in the ass.
He was not the better pilot.
And if he was the better
pilot, what chance do I have?
You have to go up.
Is this because of Sara?
Why?
Because if you don't go up,
Farley says they'll bomb
Sara's bar, that's why.
Is this AI again?
Biddle's running the show,
AI against real pilots.
I guess I'm going up.
You tell Farley
if I make it back, make
sure Biddle's at the bar.
If you make it back, if.
You never talked
like this before.
I never had Sara before.
Noted.
And if I don't make it back
down, please feed my cat.
You don't have a cat, Max.
Meow!
Oh, Max, good to see you.
I'm a bit pressed
for time today, Padre.
Well, fire away.
Is there a hereafter?
Oh, for goodness sake.
Of course there is.
It's the kingdom of heaven
and the resurrection of the life
when the body's raised
up in power and glory
and becomes a spiritual one
born again of God's Holy Spirit.
You really believe that?
Oh, yes, I certainly
do with all my heart.
Good to know.
And there's always
an alternative.
But let's not
dwell on that, Max.
So is there anything else?
Nope, I'm good to go, Padre.
Remember, Max, His house
is always open to you.
Don't go up.
It's my job.
Have him
send someone else.
There's no one else.
Oh, Max, I have
a bad feeling about this.
It'll be all right.
Well, if
you're going up,
give 'em hell.
You took the words
right out of my mouth.
Promise me
you'll come back.
I promise.
Good.
I feel better now
that you promised.
You can't break
your promise to me.
I know.
Good.
Very good.
It's just
another fight, Max.
Just another fight.
You may not come
back from this one.
You may not come back.
So you better go have
yourself some fun, man.
Which is now Max, which is now.
Come on, Dell, drive
like you mean it.
It's not fair,
you have a faster buggy.
And you want to put
new thrusters in our jet.
I did put them in,
and now our jet is
faster than ever.
You know that!
What I know is that a
dune buggy is not a jet.
Look it up.
Yee-haw!
Haii,
wait, oh, my back!
I love the
desert, desert.
These are good times, Dell.
Having
cold ones at the bar
are the good times, Max.
It's time, Max.
I'm pulling away, Dell.
It's time
to go back, Max.
Max.
I love the desert, Dell.
I know you
do, Max, I know you do,
but we have to go back.
We have to go up,
Max, it's time.
It's time to go up.
It's what you do best,
Max, fight and fly.
Would you have gone up if they
hadn't threatened the bar?
I wouldn't have missed this
dogfight for the world, Dell.
I knew it.
You just wanted the drama.
And hopefully
payback for Duke.
Max, don't take
them for granted.
Copy that.
You should be at the
rendezvous area any second.
I'm here and there
are three of 'em.
Uh-oh.
Uh-oh, what?
They're five,
Max, five bandits.
Five, that's going
to be a problem, Dell.
I'll be your
second set of eyes.
Oh, I feel all
warm and fuzzy now.
I heard that.
Incoming, Max, incoming!
Max, move, Max, move!
Evasive action, come on!
Oh, yeah?
Down, boy, down.
Gotcha.
One to go, Max.
For Duke, Dell.
For Duke.
I'm out.
What?
You can't be.
I'm out, Dell.
Then the only
thing to do is to.
Oh, yeah.
Where is he?
He's heading straight
for the bar, Max.
He's heading
straight for the bar.
Get everyone out, Dell.
I can't, Max, I can't.
Ground comms are dead.
AI blocked me.
I got nothin'.
Sara.
Place is crowded, she's
gonna be there, Max.
You've got 60
seconds to intercept.
I don't have the speed, Dell!
Try the new thrusters.
We haven't even
tested them, Dell.
I know.
I, I know you'll
probably get fried
when you try them, but
I think they'll work.
Think they'll work?
I'm sorry, Max.
I'm sorry, but it's the
new thrusters or nothing.
Balls to the wall!
Max!
Feed my cat if I
don't make it down.
I will, I will, Max.
You'll have one second to
eject when you're ramming.
Three,
two,
one.
Max, eject, eject, Max!
Max.
I am so, so sorry, Sara.
I'm so sorry.
We're holding a
vigil at the church.
I'm so sorry, my child.
Hang on, buddy, I'm comin'.
Don't you die on me, Max.
Don't you die on me!
If you can hear me,
I'm comin', Max.
Hang on there, buddy.
Hang on, Max!
Somebody call for a ride?
Wow.
Where's Biddle?
On his way.
Max, I think Biddle
is coming to kill you.
Biddle can kiss my.
He's run over a hundred
thousand computer simulations.
And yet?
And yet.
You defeated him every time.
And yet.
He said it wasn't possible.
And yet.
He said you're not.
What?
He said you're not normal.
Where's Sara?
At the church vigil for you.
I'll stand watch.
Well, that's kind of nice.
That is kind of nice.
You know, we probably
won't survive it.
Probably not.
You still have time
to walk away, Dell.
I'm not going anywhere.
All for one and one
for blah, blah, blah.
I'll feed your cat
if you don't make it.
I don't have a cat.
He's here.
And he's not alone.
Oh.
I'm from the government,
and I'm here to help.
Max.
You must be Biddle.
Hank.
Your buddies know they're
not walking out of here today?
What is it about you guys?
How much money do you need?
How much power?
AI is power, Max.
AI is power!
And power is money.
In fact, power is everything.
AI is everything!
AI is here to save
you from yourselves.
You're playing both sides.
You're a rogue agent
working for the government.
AI is power!
AI is everything!
AI is power!
Max, hold on!
What?
Got an idea!
Hurry up, Dell!
AI!
AI!
AI!
Come on!
AI is everything!
AI, AI, AI, AI,
AI, AI, AI, AI,
AI, AI, AI, AI.
What's going on, Dell?
I isolated the AI sub-routines
and disabled Biddle's
posse program.
You see, I ran a system analysis
of the frequency modulation
of the backend neural network,
and then I rerouted the
encryptions on his firewall
and programmed the
rootkit nanovirus
to attack his logic drive!
What?
A nanovirus, Max, a nanovirus!
What the hell is this, Dell?
DI, Dell Intelligence!
AI is allowing us to wage
war without accountability.
It's the perfect
delivery system.
It's the perfect excuse.
AI made me do it.
But war is what is
needed right now.
And I'm not talking about
tiny little skirmishes.
I'm talking about big
ball busting conflicts.
Too many people on
the planet, Max.
Too many people think
that they count.
I'm here to tell you,
they don't count.
They're a drain on the system.
They're a drain on resources.
And AI will get rid of them.
First, AI takes their jobs.
Then, AI takes their lives.
And at the end of the day,
all that will be left is us.
We will be the only
ones who count.
We will be the only
ones that matter.
We few, we chosen few!
We will rule the world.
And the idiots in charge?
They gave us AI.
Practically begged
us to take it,
and take it, we did.
And there's no going back now.
The genie's out of the bottle.
You're extinct, Max.
You're extinct, and
you don't even know it.
You think I'm playing
God through AI, Max?
No, Max.
Fact is, I am God!
Not my God.
It's not possible.
AI my ass.
Nanovirus, Dell?
Like a Boy Scout, be prepared.
Oh my gosh.
Max, I can't believe
you're alive.
Should have seen my nanovirus.
Nanovirus?
I don't even know if
I should talk to you
now that you're extinct.
Yeah, how does it
feel to be extinct, Max?
You cheeky bastards.
Hey, hey, Padre.
Padre, I, I heard a voice.
You heard a voice?
Wait,
you heard a voice?
You
heard a voice when?
When my plane was going down
and then again in the desert.
Did you really
hear a voice, Max?
You never told me
you heard a voice.
What did
this voice say?
Yes, what
did the voice say?
It asked what my last
thought was before the crash.
What was your
last thought, Max?
It was of you.
You are my jet, Sara.
Let's get plastered!
So let me
get this straight,
you believe there
are little green men
flying in our airspace,
and you and these
little green men
have decided to have a best
of five series of air fights?
And these air fights
are winner take all,
meaning the winner rules
the world, our world?
And these little green men
have chosen their
champion to fight.
And for some silly reason,
you want me to be our champion?
Me?
You are stark, raving mad.
But fellas, I wouldn't miss this
dog fight for the
world, pun intended.
