So I could go on to a bigger one with a young guy like yourself? 178 00:25:21,044 --> 00:25:24,377 Maybe. 179 00:25:25,849 --> 00:25:30,081 - I have to get up early in the morning. - What are you doing? 180 00:25:31,755 --> 00:25:36,158 Your friend was magnificent. 181 00:25:42,432 --> 00:25:46,198 You'll also be trained and evaluated by civilian specialists. 182 00:25:46,369 --> 00:25:51,329 They are our best source of information on enemy aircraft. 183 00:25:51,508 --> 00:25:57,071 One of the most qualified is call sign Charlie, with a Ph.D. In astrophysics. 184 00:25:57,247 --> 00:26:04,278 Listen to her, because the Pentagon listens to her about your proficiency. 185 00:26:04,454 --> 00:26:07,981 All yours, Charlie. 186 00:26:08,158 --> 00:26:14,620 Hello. We will be dealing with F-5s and A-4s as our MiG simulators. 187 00:26:14,798 --> 00:26:20,828 As you know, the F-5 doesn't have the thrust-to-weight ratio of the MiG-28. 188 00:26:21,004 --> 00:26:25,634 And it doesn't bleed energy below 300 knots like the MiG-28. 189 00:26:25,809 --> 00:26:31,509 However, the MiG-28 does have a problem with its inverted flight tanks. 190 00:26:31,681 --> 00:26:35,014 It won't do a negative G push-over. 191 00:26:35,185 --> 00:26:40,817 The latest intelligence tells us the most it will do is... 192 00:26:40,990 --> 00:26:44,551 Excuse me, Lieutenant. Is there something wrong? 193 00:26:44,728 --> 00:26:50,098 - The data on the MiG is inaccurate. - How's that? 194 00:26:50,266 --> 00:26:55,431 Well, I just happened to see a MiG-28... Sorry, Goose. 195 00:26:55,605 --> 00:27:01,373 We happened to see a MiG-28 do a four G negative dive. 196 00:27:01,544 --> 00:27:04,274 Where did you see this? 197 00:27:04,447 --> 00:27:10,716 That's classified. I could tell you, but then I'd have to kill you. 198 00:27:10,887 --> 00:27:13,981 I have Top Secret clearance. 199 00:27:14,157 --> 00:27:18,651 The Pentagon sees to it that I know more than you. 200 00:27:18,828 --> 00:27:26,792 - Well, it doesn't seem to be the case. - So, where exactly were you? 201 00:27:26,970 --> 00:27:33,876 We started up on his six when he pulled through the clouds. I went above him. 202 00:27:34,043 --> 00:27:38,377 If you were directly above him, how could you see him? 203 00:27:38,548 --> 00:27:42,348 - Because I was inverted. - Bullshit. 204 00:27:42,519 --> 00:27:46,011 No, he was, man. It was a really great move. 205 00:27:46,189 --> 00:27:51,491 You were in a four G inverted dive with a MiG-28? 206 00:27:51,661 --> 00:27:54,630 - Yes, ma'am. - At what range? 207 00:27:54,798 --> 00:28:00,703 - About two metres? - 1 1/2. I have a great Polaroid of it. 208 00:28:00,870 --> 00:28:04,306 - It was a nice picture. - Lieutenant? 209 00:28:06,643 --> 00:28:11,774 - What were you doing there? - Communicating. 210 00:28:11,948 --> 00:28:15,645 Keeping up foreign relations. 211 00:28:15,819 --> 00:28:19,880 - I was, you know, giving him the bird. - You know, the finger. 212 00:28:20,056 --> 00:28:25,756 - I know the finger. - I hate it when it does that. I'm sorry. 213 00:28:25,929 --> 00:28:29,763 - Excuse me. - So you're the one? 214 00:28:29,933 --> 00:28:34,768 - Yes, ma'am. - All right, we have a hop to take. 215 00:28:34,938 --> 00:28:40,376 The hard-deck on this is 10,000 feet. There'll be no engagement below that. 216 00:28:40,543 --> 00:28:42,306 Move it! 217 00:28:46,649 --> 00:28:50,050 Lieutenant! 218 00:28:50,220 --> 00:28:55,157 Don't be late again. You look great, honey. 219 00:28:55,325 --> 00:28:59,659 Why didn't you tell me you were the famous MiG Insulter? 220 00:28:59,829 --> 00:29:05,028 - Would it have made any difference? - Not in the ladies' room. 221 00:29:05,201 --> 00:29:12,198 I see 20 new hotshots every eight weeks. I'm sure you can figure that out. 222 00:29:12,375 --> 00:29:18,712 I'd just really like to hear about the MiG sometime. 223 00:29:18,882 --> 00:29:24,115 You've got security clearance. You can read about it. 224 00:29:28,825 --> 00:29:33,785 Maverick? I'm curious. 225 00:29:33,963 --> 00:29:40,994 Who was covering Cougar while you were showboating with his MiG? 226 00:29:41,170 --> 00:29:43,502 Cougar was doing just fine. 227 00:29:48,044 --> 00:29:50,877 This is your first hop. The jets you're flying against are smaller and faster, - 228 00:29:51,047 --> 00:29:56,075 - just like the enemy MiGs. As of now we are keeping score. 229 00:29:56,252 --> 00:30:00,712 - I lost him, Goose. - Show me what you've got, kid. 230 00:30:01,991 --> 00:30:05,552 - I lost him. - I'm looking. 231 00:30:06,996 --> 00:30:11,262 - He's on our tail, coming hard. - I got him. Here we go. 232 00:30:24,447 --> 00:30:29,180 - Talk to me, Goose. - He's still back there. Closing in on us. 233 00:30:29,352 --> 00:30:33,846 You can run, kid, but you can't hide. 234 00:30:35,825 --> 00:30:40,819 All right, Jester, I'll give you a run for your money here. 235 00:30:44,968 --> 00:30:47,493 Watch the mountains! 236 00:30:57,046 --> 00:31:02,416 He's still back there. Come on, Mav, do some of that pilot shit. 237 00:31:12,795 --> 00:31:17,255 - Come on, bring it right. - I've had about enough of this shit. 238 00:31:19,402 --> 00:31:22,565 - I'll hit the brakes, he'll fly right by. - You're mine. 239 00:31:30,246 --> 00:31:32,271 Jesus Christ! 240 00:31:35,952 --> 00:31:39,683 - Let's see what you've got now, Jester. - Let's turn and burn. 241 00:31:58,041 --> 00:32:02,501 - He's going vertical. So am I. - We're going ballistic. Go get him! 242 00:32:11,687 --> 00:32:14,986 He's going for the hard-deck. Let's nail him. 243 00:32:15,158 --> 00:32:19,686 No way, Jester. You're mine. 244 00:32:33,976 --> 00:32:36,001 I've got you now! 245 00:32:38,347 --> 00:32:43,410 - Jester's dead. - Jester's dead. 246 00:32:45,054 --> 00:32:49,354 Get your butts above the hard-deck and return to base. 247 00:32:52,128 --> 00:32:55,393 Yes, sir! 248 00:33:00,002 --> 00:33:06,430 - This is Ghost Rider requesting a fly-by. - Negative. The pattern is full. 249 00:33:06,609 --> 00:33:12,104 - No, Mav. This is not a good idea. - Sorry, but it's time to buzz the tower. 250 00:33:23,459 --> 00:33:26,360 Goddamn son of a bitch! 251 00:33:29,899 --> 00:33:32,424 Great balls of fire. 252 00:33:36,105 --> 00:33:38,938 - Jester's dead. - You won? Bullshit. 253 00:33:39,108 --> 00:33:44,842 - Didn't everybody? - We got our butts kicked. 254 00:33:45,014 --> 00:33:50,281 I said to Hollywood, "Where did he go?" He said, "Where did who go?" 255 00:33:50,453 --> 00:33:55,618 - And he's laughing at us on the radio. - That was me, dickhead. We won. 256 00:33:55,791 --> 00:34:00,023 - All right! - They won too, man. 257 00:34:00,196 --> 00:34:03,962 - That's not what I heard. - We got Jester. 258 00:34:04,133 --> 00:34:08,661 - Below the hard-deck doesn't count. - We nailed that son of a bitch. 259 00:34:08,838 --> 00:34:13,673 - You guys really are cowboys. - What's your problem, Kazansky? 260 00:34:13,843 --> 00:34:18,473 You're everyone's problem. Every time you fly, you're unsafe. 261 00:34:18,648 --> 00:34:24,177 - I don't like you. You're dangerous. - That's right, Iceman. 262 00:34:24,353 --> 00:34:28,449 I am dangerous. 263 00:34:29,859 --> 00:34:34,626 Maverick? You and Goose get your butts up to Viper's office, now! 264 00:34:38,568 --> 00:34:42,834 Remember, no points for second place. 265 00:34:43,005 --> 00:34:47,533 - You're a lot brighter than you look. - You shut up. 266 00:34:47,710 --> 00:34:55,583 Two of your snot-nosed jockeys flew by by at over 400 knots. I want their butts! 267 00:34:57,386 --> 00:35:02,187 Damn it, that's twice. I want some butts! 268 00:35:02,992 --> 00:35:08,453 - That just about covers the fly-bys. - Follow me. 269 00:35:12,835 --> 00:35:18,296 Gentlemen. You had a hell of a first day. 270 00:35:21,644 --> 00:35:27,412 The hard-deck for this hop was 10,000 feet. You knew it. You broke it. 271 00:35:27,583 --> 00:35:34,887 You followed Commander Heatherly below after he lost sight of you. Why? 272 00:35:35,057 --> 00:35:41,724 Sir, I had him in my sights. He saw me move in for the kill. 273 00:35:41,897 --> 00:35:48,735 He proceeded below the hard-deck. We were below for just a few seconds. 274 00:35:48,904 --> 00:35:52,533 I had the shot. There was no danger, so I took it. 275 00:35:54,010 --> 00:35:58,709 You took it, and broke a major rule of engagement. 276 00:35:58,881 --> 00:36:04,945 Then you broke another one with that circus stunt fly-by. 277 00:36:05,121 --> 00:36:10,081 Top Gun rules of engagement exist for your safety and for that of your team. 278 00:36:10,259 --> 00:36:16,858 They're not flexible, nor am I. Obey them or you're history. Is that clear? 279 00:36:19,035 --> 00:36:22,266 Yes, sir! 280 00:36:29,312 --> 00:36:31,940 Dismissed. 281 00:36:36,018 --> 00:36:41,456 I really enjoyed that, Mav, thanks a lot. Holy shit. 282 00:36:44,827 --> 00:36:52,131 Maybe I could be a truck driver. You got the number of that truck-driving school? 283 00:36:52,301 --> 00:36:57,329 Fitness report says it all. He's a wild card. 284 00:36:57,506 --> 00:37:01,306 Completely unpredictable. 285 00:37:01,477 --> 00:37:05,743 - He got you, didn't he? - Yeah. 286 00:37:05,915 --> 00:37:10,852 Maverick. I flew with his old man. 287 00:37:14,724 --> 00:37:21,459 Tell me, if you had to go into battle, would you want him with you? 288 00:37:21,630 --> 00:37:25,396 I just don't know. 289 00:37:35,478 --> 00:37:38,675 - Still awake? - Yeah. 290 00:37:41,283 --> 00:37:44,810 - What's up? - I can't sleep. 291 00:37:46,856 --> 00:37:53,284 When I realised we were off to Top Gun, all I could think about was that trophy. 292 00:37:53,462 --> 00:37:59,059 I've got to be straight with you, Mav. Right now, I just hope we graduate. 293 00:38:01,270 --> 00:38:06,264 I got a family to think about. I can't afford to blow this. 294 00:38:08,444 --> 00:38:13,313 I guess that fly-by wasn't such a big hit, huh? 295 00:38:16,118 --> 00:38:21,852 I know it's tough. The Academy rejected you because you're Duke Mitchell's kid. 296 00:38:22,024 --> 00:38:30,261 You have to live with that reputation. But it's like you're flying against a ghost. 297 00:38:30,433 --> 00:38:34,392 It makes me nervous. 298 00:38:37,773 --> 00:38:44,008 You're the only family I've got. I'm not gonna let you down. I promise. 299 00:38:52,755 --> 00:38:57,192 Get out of here. 300 00:39:10,906 --> 00:39:15,866 A rolling reversal would work well in that situation. 301 00:39:16,045 --> 00:39:20,038 If I reversed on a hard cross, I could go to guns on him. 302 00:39:20,216 --> 00:39:25,313 But at that speed, it's too fast. It's a little bit too aggressive. 303 00:39:25,488 --> 00:39:29,948 Too aggressive? 304 00:39:30,125 --> 00:39:34,926 I guess when I see something, I go right after it. 305 00:39:35,097 --> 00:39:41,468 - You didn't tell me who you were. - I didn't get a chance. You deserved it. 306 00:39:42,638 --> 00:39:51,205 I know... but you were tempted to ask me out for dinner. 307 00:39:51,380 --> 00:39:56,079 No. I don't date students. 308 00:40:05,794 --> 00:40:11,596 I can see it's dangerous for you. But if the government trusts me... 309 00:40:11,767 --> 00:40:15,669 ...maybe you could. 310 00:40:20,376 --> 00:40:24,870 It takes a lot more than just fancy flying. 311 00:40:37,626 --> 00:40:41,960 Crash and burn, huh, Mav? 312 00:40:43,799 --> 00:40:46,393 Slider... 313 00:40:48,070 --> 00:40:51,233 You stink. 314 00:40:59,882 --> 00:41:02,009 Let's go! 315 00:42:22,031 --> 00:42:26,525 Come on, Mav. Just one more game. That evens it up. 316 00:42:26,702 --> 00:42:31,139 - I got some things to take care of. - Just one more game. 317 00:42:31,306 --> 00:42:35,936 Please? For me? Come on... For me? 318 00:43:10,012 --> 00:43:13,379 Damn it. 319 00:43:23,726 --> 00:43:26,695 Lieutenant? 320 00:43:31,066 --> 00:43:36,163 - What? No singing? - Look, I'm... 321 00:43:36,338 --> 00:43:39,899 No apologies. 322 00:43:45,914 --> 00:43:51,216 If you don't mind, I'll just take a quick shower while you're finishing up here. 323 00:43:53,222 --> 00:43:57,921 I do mind. I'm hungry. 324 00:44:00,996 --> 00:44:04,762 And then I thought about it. 325 00:44:04,933 --> 00:44:09,495 I thought, "You know, he's a smart guy." 326 00:44:09,671 --> 00:44:15,667 "Why don't you just tell him why you've got him here?" 327 00:44:17,446 --> 00:44:20,904 It's the MiG. 328 00:44:23,118 --> 00:44:29,921 The MiG. You're the only pilot who's been up against a MiG-28. 329 00:44:31,260 --> 00:44:36,823 I'm trying for this big promotion. If I get it, I won't be here much longer. 330 00:44:36,999 --> 00:44:41,060 Seems to me you've got it all figured out. 331 00:44:42,838 --> 00:44:48,037 Except you did forget the wine. 332 00:44:48,210 --> 00:44:50,610 Sorry. 333 00:44:50,779 --> 00:44:56,240 - You always get what you want? - No, not always. Yeah, maybe. 334 00:44:56,418 --> 00:45:00,878 Then relax about the MiG. 335 00:45:13,902 --> 00:45:17,736 This music... 336 00:45:17,906 --> 00:45:21,342 An old friend? 337 00:45:21,510 --> 00:45:27,506 My folks loved it. I haven't heard this in years. 338 00:45:27,683 --> 00:45:32,814 My mother used to call from her room and have me play this over and over. 339 00:45:32,988 --> 00:45:37,482 I got so sick of it. 340 00:45:37,659 --> 00:45:44,258 But not her. She'd sit up there alone, just listening for hours. 341 00:45:44,433 --> 00:45:50,531 Just listening. She died shortly after him. 342 00:45:51,874 --> 00:45:55,810 What happened to your father? 343 00:45:59,114 --> 00:46:05,883 I figured with your security clearance you'd know more about it than I do. 344 00:46:06,054 --> 00:46:11,424 Well, I didn't get that far. 345 00:46:11,593 --> 00:46:14,926 It's a big mystery. 346 00:46:15,097 --> 00:46:19,898 He disappeared in an F-4, November 5th, 1965. 347 00:46:22,404 --> 00:46:27,740 The stink of it was... he screwed up. 348 00:46:27,910 --> 00:46:33,348 No way. My old man was a great fighter pilot. 349 00:46:36,151 --> 00:46:42,147 But who the hell knows? It's all classified. 350 00:46:42,324 --> 00:46:46,886 - Somebody must know. - Yeah, somebody knows everything. 351 00:46:47,062 --> 00:46:52,090 Is that why you're always second best up there? 352 00:46:52,267 --> 00:46:56,761 You are direct, aren't you. 353 00:47:02,744 --> 00:47:06,874 I'm sorry I was late. 354 00:47:07,049 --> 00:47:13,318 - I'm sorry for being direct. - No apologies. 355 00:47:13,488 --> 00:47:18,755 This is going to be complicated. 356 00:47:28,337 --> 00:47:32,933 - Where are you going? - I'm gonna take a shower. 357 00:47:37,079 --> 00:47:42,346 Thank you. I enjoyed being here. 358 00:48:19,087 --> 00:48:24,047 It looks like you need another shower. 359 00:48:24,226 --> 00:48:27,718 Right. 360 00:48:31,633 --> 00:48:35,364 I'm gonna be honest with you. 361 00:48:35,537 --> 00:48:40,702 Your MiG sighting is really important to my work, but... 362 00:48:44,646 --> 00:48:49,845 I don't normally invite students to my house. You're... 363 00:48:57,993 --> 00:49:01,622 But please understand, I still have a job to do. 364 00:49:27,556 --> 00:49:33,119 I'm glad we got that straight. 365 00:49:48,610 --> 00:49:53,570 I told her how tough it is here. My ass dragging like an old tired dog. 366 00:49:53,748 --> 00:49:56,979 I told her you didn't even have a woman. 367 00:49:57,152 --> 00:50:01,088 She said, "He probably doesn't have one, but eight." 368 00:50:05,861 --> 00:50:11,629 - Hi! - Daddy. 369 00:50:17,072 --> 00:50:23,011 Goose tells me you're in love with one of your instructors. 370 00:50:23,178 --> 00:50:28,639 I didn't tell her that. I can't believe you said that. That was a secret. 371 00:50:36,057 --> 00:50:41,552 The bogey has good position right here. Freeze frame. A moment of choice. 372 00:50:41,730 --> 00:50:46,099 The F-14 is defensive. He has a chance to bug out right here. 373 00:50:46,268 --> 00:50:52,798 Better to retire and save your aircraft than push a bad position. 374 00:50:52,974 --> 00:50:58,241 Charlie, jump in here any time. You stay in that diamond another three seconds, - 375 00:50:58,413 --> 00:51:03,316 - the bogey's gonna blow you away. You take a hard right, select zone five... 376 00:51:03,485 --> 00:51:08,479 You can extend an escape. You made a bad choice. 377 00:51:08,657 --> 00:51:15,927 - Charlie? - Aircraft one performs a split S? 378 00:51:16,097 --> 00:51:20,329 That's the last thing you should do. The MiG's right on your tail. 379 00:51:20,502 --> 00:51:27,101 Freeze there. The MiG has you in his gunsight. What were you thinking? 380 00:51:27,275 --> 00:51:31,939 You don't have time to think up there. If you think, you're dead. 381 00:51:32,113 --> 00:51:37,949 That's a big gamble with a $30 million plane. 382 00:51:43,058 --> 00:51:48,360 Unfortunately, it worked. The MiG never got a clean shot. 383 00:51:48,530 --> 00:51:55,299 Maverick makes an aggressive vertical move and defeats him with a missile. 384 00:51:55,470 --> 00:52:00,908 The encounter was a victory, but we show it as an example of what not to do. 385 00:52:02,677 --> 00:52:05,077 Next. 386 00:52:05,247 --> 00:52:08,774 Gutsiest move I ever saw, man. 387 00:52:11,253 --> 00:52:16,714 Now then, this is a perfect example of a textbook manoeuvre. 388 00:52:28,603 --> 00:52:30,503 Lieutenant? 389 00:52:43,184 --> 00:52:48,212 My review of your performance was right on, in my professional opinion. 390 00:52:48,390 --> 00:52:52,417 I can't hear you. 391 00:53:10,578 --> 00:53:16,983 Jesus! And you call me reckless? When I fly, my crew and my plane come first. 392 00:53:17,152 --> 00:53:23,819 I'm gonna finish my sentence. My review of your performance was right on. 393 00:53:23,992 --> 00:53:29,726 I see some real genius in your flying, but I can't say that in there. 394 00:53:29,898 --> 00:53:33,595 I was afraid they'd see right through me. 395 00:53:33,768 --> 00:53:39,536 I don't want anyone to know that I've fallen for you. 396 00:55:24,412 --> 00:55:27,848 - Hey, Maverick? Hear about Ice? - What's that? 397 00:55:28,016 --> 00:55:32,248 - He won another one. - Really? 398 00:55:32,420 --> 00:55:38,086 I fell the need... the need for speed. 399 00:55:41,229 --> 00:55:46,861 This is hop 19. Multiple aircraft, multiple bogeys. Your training is half over. 400 00:55:47,035 --> 00:55:51,904 The competition for the trophy remains tight. First place, Iceman. 401 00:55:52,073 --> 00:55:55,406 Second, Maverick, two points behind. 402 00:55:55,577 --> 00:55:59,172 There they are. Three miles, 10 o'clock. 403 00:55:59,347 --> 00:56:04,216 I see them. Two A-4s. Left 10 o'clock level. Continue left turn. 404 00:56:13,228 --> 00:56:20,964 - Good morning. The temperature is 110. - Viper's up here? Great. Oh, shit. 405 00:56:21,135 --> 00:56:26,471 He's probably saying, "Holy shit, it's Maverick and Goose." 406 00:56:30,545 --> 00:56:36,313 - I've got my eye on the northern bogey. - Roger, I've got the southern guy. 407 00:56:36,484 --> 00:56:40,443 Hollywood, you lead. I'll cover you. 408 00:56:51,199 --> 00:56:53,599 Break now, Jester. 409 00:56:57,539 --> 00:57:00,770 We're losing Viper. Let's just stay on Jester. 410 00:57:05,146 --> 00:57:12,552 - Goose, find Viper. He's out there. - Stay with Hollywood. 411 00:57:12,720 --> 00:57:17,487 - There's Viper. Three o'clock low. - We're Hollywood's cover. 412 00:57:17,659 --> 00:57:21,857 - Don't you leave me. - Hollywood, you're looking good. 413 00:57:22,030 --> 00:57:24,123 I'm going after Viper. 414 00:57:26,634 --> 00:57:29,694 - Goddamn you! - Don't leave him. 415 00:57:29,871 --> 00:57:33,967 Hollywood's okay. I want Viper. 416 00:57:36,277 --> 00:57:39,178 Viper's coming down. 417 00:57:45,286 --> 00:57:48,813 Holy shit. We're head-to-head. 418 00:58:02,837 --> 00:58:06,329 Rock and roll! Here's our big chance. 419 00:58:08,943 --> 00:58:12,106 Come on, goddamn it. 420 00:58:14,215 --> 00:58:17,150 Come on, keep coming. 421 00:58:20,121 --> 00:58:24,023 Okay, sidewinder missile selected. Come on, baby. 422 00:58:24,192 --> 00:58:26,990 Come around. That's it. 423 00:58:32,934 --> 00:58:40,602 - Jesus, he's good. Where's he going? - Come on, come on. Keep coming. 424 00:58:43,411 --> 00:58:47,040 Come on, baby. 425 00:58:50,184 --> 00:58:53,085 Damn, this kid's good. 426 00:58:53,254 --> 00:58:56,917 He's too close for missiles. I'm switching to guns. 427 00:58:59,060 --> 00:59:02,496 Come on, come on. 428 00:59:03,231 --> 00:59:06,257 Stick with it... 429 00:59:09,103 --> 00:59:13,267 - Hold it. Check our tail. - Shit, there's Jester! 430 00:59:13,441 --> 00:59:18,344 Bingo, Maverick's dead. You're out of there, kid. 431 00:59:18,513 --> 00:59:25,681 The Defence Department regrets to inform you your sons died of stupidity. 432 00:59:25,853 --> 00:59:29,914 Knock it off, gentlemen. Let's go home. Viper has the lead. 433 00:59:36,531 --> 00:59:40,729 - 30 seconds, Wolfman. I'm coming in. - Shut up! 434 00:59:41,836 --> 00:59:46,671 That was some of the best flying I've seen yet. Until you got killed. 435 00:59:46,841 --> 00:59:51,574 You never, never leave your wingman. 436 00:59:56,551 --> 01:00:02,547 Maverick... It's not your flying, it's your attitude. 437 01:00:03,725 --> 01:00:11,257 The enemy's dangerous, but right now you're worse. Dangerous and foolish. 438 01:00:11,432 --> 01:00:18,565 You may not like who's flying with you, but whose side are you on? 439 01:00:26,180 --> 01:00:32,710 At least Viper got Iceman before he got us. We've still got a shot at it. 440 01:00:32,887 --> 01:00:39,053 That was stupid, I know better than that. That will never happen again. 441 01:00:41,796 --> 01:00:45,197 I know... 442 01:00:48,469 --> 01:00:52,235 I know. 443 01:01:40,254 --> 01:01:44,588 Go fetch him. Doesn't he ever embarrass you? 444 01:01:44,759 --> 01:01:51,028 - Hell no. Well, there was the time... - Admiral's daughter. 445 01:01:51,199 --> 01:01:56,364 He told me all about the time you went ballistic with Penny Benjamin. 446 01:01:56,537 --> 01:01:59,097 Did he? Great. 447 01:01:59,207 --> 01:02:04,736 He tells me about all of them. My angel Goose goes home early for church. 448 01:02:04,912 --> 01:02:09,542 - You go home with the hot women. - Thank you, Carole. 449 01:02:09,717 --> 01:02:15,155 I'm gonna go embarrass myself with Goose for a while. 450 01:02:30,438 --> 01:02:36,434 I'd love to be able to warn you off about Maverick, but I just love him to death. 451 01:02:37,578 --> 01:02:42,675 I've known Pete for a lot of years. One thing's for certain. 452 01:02:42,850 --> 01:02:48,254 There are hearts breaking wide open all over the world tonight. 453 01:02:48,422 --> 01:02:52,882 Unless you are a fool, that boy is off the market. 454 01:02:53,060 --> 01:02:58,464 He is 100% prime time in love with you. 455 01:02:58,633 --> 01:03:04,367 Hey, Goose, you big stud. Take me to bed or lose me forever. 456 01:03:04,538 --> 01:03:08,235 Show me the way home, honey. 457 01:03:08,409 --> 01:03:11,310 Come on, brother, sing with the family. 458 01:03:43,010 --> 01:03:47,572 Maverick, you big stud... 459 01:03:47,748 --> 01:03:52,185 Take me to bed or lose me forever. 460 01:04:04,699 --> 01:04:07,793 This is hop 31. Two weeks to graduation. 461 01:04:07,969 --> 01:04:11,803 The Top Gun trophy is still up for grabs. 462 01:04:55,149 --> 01:04:58,846 The score is tied. Time for the big one. 463 01:04:59,020 --> 01:05:05,152 - Are you up for this one, Maverick? - Just a walk in the park. 464 01:05:06,994 --> 01:05:11,761 Contact. Multiple bogeys. Two miles. Looks like they're going away from us. 465 01:05:11,932 --> 01:05:15,959 - I see them. Right, two o'clock. I'm in. - I'm in. 466 01:05:35,990 --> 01:05:39,585 That son of a bitch cut me off. 467 01:05:46,467 --> 01:05:52,463 Come on. Jesus Christ, Ice. Take the shot. Get the hell out of there. 468 01:05:52,640 --> 01:05:56,508 I can't get the angle. I'm too close. I'm switching to guns. 469 01:05:56,677 --> 01:05:59,874 Fire or clear! 470 01:06:04,385 --> 01:06:10,483 - Christ, I can take a shot right here. - 20 seconds and I've got him. 471 01:06:16,397 --> 01:06:20,561 - I'm moving in. I've got the shot. - Come on, Mav. 472 01:06:22,203 --> 01:06:25,900 - He's getting impatient. Take the shot. - 10 more seconds. 473 01:06:27,942 --> 01:06:32,743 Get the hell out of there. Come off my right. I'm in. 474 01:06:32,913 --> 01:06:35,905 - Five more seconds. - I'm in. 475 01:06:36,083 --> 01:06:38,779 I'm off. Shit. 476 01:06:40,788 --> 01:06:43,586 We're in a jetwash. Shit! 477 01:06:46,627 --> 01:06:52,532 This is not good. We've got a flame-out. Engine one is out... Engine two is out. 478 01:06:52,700 --> 01:06:55,794 I'm losing control. I can't control it! 479 01:06:59,940 --> 01:07:03,842 It's coupling up. This is not good! 480 01:07:04,011 --> 01:07:09,540 Mayday, mayday. Mav's in trouble. He's in a flat spin heading out to sea! 481 01:07:11,352 --> 01:07:14,947 Altitude 8,000... 7,000... 482 01:07:15,122 --> 01:07:17,955 We're at 6,000! 483 01:07:19,960 --> 01:07:22,656 I can't reach the ejection handle! 484 01:07:24,732 --> 01:07:30,728 - You're gonna have to punch us out. - I can't reach the ejection handle! 485 01:07:30,905 --> 01:07:35,239 - Eject... - Watch the canopy! 486 01:07:51,692 --> 01:07:54,217 Goose...

You've got to let him go, sir. 489 01:09:34,662 --> 01:09:40,532 - How are you doing? - I'm all right. 490 01:09:40,701 --> 01:09:44,831 - Goose is dead. - I know. 491 01:09:47,875 --> 01:09:52,608 You fly jets long enough, something like this happens. 492 01:09:52,780 --> 01:09:57,183 He was my RIO, my responsibility. 493 01:09:59,253 --> 01:10:05,249 In my squadron in Vietnam, we lost 8 of 18 aircraft. 10 men. 494 01:10:05,459 --> 01:10:11,796 The first one dies, you die too. But there will be others. 495 01:10:11,965 --> 01:10:15,492 You can count on it. 496 01:10:15,669 --> 01:10:19,503 You've got to let him go. 497 01:10:20,674 --> 01:10:24,474 You've got to let him go. 498 01:10:40,494 --> 01:10:44,624 I think maybe it was my fault. 499 01:10:44,798 --> 01:10:48,199 I don't know. 500 01:10:48,369 --> 01:10:52,328 I don't know what the hell went wrong. 501 01:10:52,506 --> 01:10:57,569 I'd like to help. I know it's difficult. 502 01:11:03,083 --> 01:11:07,247 God, I want him back. 503 01:11:11,392 --> 01:11:15,988 I'll be here if you need me, okay? 504 01:13:07,207 --> 01:13:11,200 God, he loved flying with you, Maverick. 505 01:13:28,428 --> 01:13:34,162 He would have flown anyway... without you. 506 01:13:34,334 --> 01:13:39,966 He'd have hated it, but he would have done it. 507 01:13:59,092 --> 01:14:05,520 The spin was induced by the disruption of air flow into the starboard engine. 508 01:14:05,699 --> 01:14:09,692 This disruption stalled the engine, - 509 01:14:09,870 --> 01:14:14,364 - which produced enough yaw rate to induce a spin - 510 01:14:14,541 --> 01:14:17,977 - which was unrecoverable. 511 01:14:18,145 --> 01:14:23,777 There was no way Lieutenant Mitchell could see or avoid the jetwash. 512 01:14:23,951 --> 01:14:29,116 The Board of Inquiry finds that he was not at fault in the accident of 29 July. 513 01:14:29,289 --> 01:14:36,058 His record will be cleared. He's restored to flight status without further delay. 514 01:14:37,130 --> 01:14:40,657 These proceedings are closed. 515 01:14:48,108 --> 01:14:51,635 Get him up flying, soon. 516 01:15:17,104 --> 01:15:22,940 - Come on, kid. Get in there.

You don't even have a ticket, do you? 540 01:19:13,807 --> 01:19:20,975 I've seen all the evidence, and it's not your responsibility. It's not your fault. 541 01:19:22,048 --> 01:19:25,882 You're one of the best pilots in the Navy. 542 01:19:26,052 --> 01:19:30,546 What you do up there...

It's just over. 548 01:19:55,749 --> 01:20:02,086 To be the best of the best means you make mistakes and then you go on. 549 01:20:02,255 --> 01:20:06,089 You don't think I know that? 550 01:20:06,259 --> 01:20:09,490 I'm here to help. 551 01:20:09,663 --> 01:20:17,627 Look, thank you. If I'd wanted help, I would have asked for it. 552 01:20:23,777 --> 01:20:27,611 So, I'm too late. 553 01:20:27,781 --> 01:20:31,444 You've already left. 554 01:20:31,618 --> 01:20:38,649 You didn't learn a damn thing, did you?

Mike will be right down. 560 01:21:54,134 --> 01:22:00,073 I flew with your old man. VF-51, the Oriskany. 561 01:22:01,408 --> 01:22:08,007 You're a lot like he was. Only better... and worse. 562 01:22:09,949 --> 01:22:14,079 He was a natural heroic son of a bitch. 563 01:22:17,557 --> 01:22:21,550 So he did do it right. 564 01:22:23,596 --> 01:22:27,896 Yeah, he did it right. 565 01:22:35,742 --> 01:22:40,907 Is that why you fly the way you do? Trying to prove something? 566 01:22:42,282 --> 01:22:46,082 Yeah, your old man did it right. 567 01:22:46,252 --> 01:22:50,450 What I'm about to tell you is classified. It could end my career. 568 01:22:50,623 --> 01:22:53,888 We were in the worst dogfight ever. 569 01:22:54,060 --> 01:23:00,056 Bogeys like fireflies all over the sky. His F-4 was hit, - 570 01:23:00,233 --> 01:23:03,259 - he was wounded, but he stayed. 571 01:23:03,436 --> 01:23:10,171 - Saved three planes before he bought it. - How come I never heard that before? 572 01:23:10,343 --> 01:23:17,408 The battle occurred over the wrong line on some map. 573 01:23:17,584 --> 01:23:21,418 - So you were there? - I was there. 574 01:23:21,588 --> 01:23:27,959 - What's on your mind? - My options, sir. 575 01:23:28,128 --> 01:23:32,588 Simple. You've acquired enough points - 576 01:23:32,765 --> 01:23:37,964 - to show up tomorrow and graduate with your class. Or you could quit. 577 01:23:39,973 --> 01:23:44,273 There'll be no disgrace. That spin was hell. 578 01:23:44,444 --> 01:23:49,313 - So you think I should quit? - I didn't say that. 579 01:23:49,482 --> 01:23:54,647 You feel responsible for Goose. And you have a confidence problem. 580 01:23:56,389 --> 01:23:59,722 I won't blow sunshine up your ass. 581 01:23:59,893 --> 01:24:04,262 A good pilot is compelled to evaluate what's happened - 582 01:24:04,430 --> 01:24:12,360 - and apply what he's learned. Up there, we've got to push it. That's our job. 583 01:24:15,074 --> 01:24:19,602 It's your option, Lieutenant. All yours. 584 01:24:30,790 --> 01:24:34,783 Sorry to bother you on a Sunday, sir.

Your mission is to give it air support. 599 01:27:22,995 --> 01:27:29,867 There are MiGs in the area. If you witness a hostile act, return fire. 600 01:27:30,937 --> 01:27:36,534 They carry the Exocet anti-ship missile. They can fire it from 100 miles away. 601 01:27:36,709 --> 01:27:43,012 This is the real thing. This is what you've been trained for. 602 01:27:43,182 --> 01:27:48,176 Make us proud. Ice... Hollywood, sector two. 603 01:27:48,354 --> 01:27:52,586 Maverick, you back them up with Merlin on ready five. 604 01:27:52,759 --> 01:27:56,024 - Yes, sir. - Rise. 605 01:27:57,964 --> 01:28:01,058 Excuse me, sir.
