print it. You'll destroy me. Of course I can print it, Judge.

In 450 newspapers all over the country unless you declare a mistrial.

I can't do that. The evidence against the man on trial is conclusive.

Of course, if you didn't want me to use this as my lead story tomorrow, I could

always print something more favorable.

24 years as a distinguished federal judge.

Everyone will know that I sold out.

I could get this bar.

Listen, Vosburgh, I'm a journalist.

I give the people what they want.

Now, unless you declare a mistrial, you're going to force me to print this,

unfortunate psychiatric problem, your little fetishes, your aberrations.

Scum. You're not going to do that to me or anyone else ever again.

Either you do it my way, or it's over for you.

Career and family.

Bring me a scotch.

days, Arthur, you're going to guess wrong.

Relax, Doyle. There's no hurry. The judge obviously agrees he's outlived his

usefulness.

First, the scotch.

You can get rid of the body later.

Do you have a copy of yesterday's Ukiah Enterprise?

You're in luck, my friend.

It's my hometown.

Small world.

Washington columnist Arthur Six.

His career as a highly successful columnist and broadcaster has given him

information which he uses to intimidate, blackmail, and bribe.

Some of the most powerful people in business, government, and the law are in

pocket. Senator Tom Oxenford is his main adversary.

Oxenford has initiated congressional hearing.

He wants Six indicted by a grand jury.

on charges that Six is part of a conspiracy which has defrauded the

out of more than $500 million.

Your mission, Jim, should you choose to accept it, is to find and neutralize

Six's secret file and make certain he is indicted.

As always, should you or any of your I .M. force be caught or killed, the

Secretary will disavow any knowledge of your actions.

This disc will self -destruct in five seconds.

Good luck, Jim.

These are the Marble Gate apartments where Arthur Six has a penthouse on the

floor. And Shannon's about to open a flower shop in the lobby.

Grant, what did you get?

Getting the floor plan wasn't too difficult.

What was a bit tricky was getting these.

The system charts for the building security, including camera surveillance

every room in the penthouse. Meaning that we can tap in and monitor

going on in the place. Yes.

We'll also be able to tap into his cable system, control his television

broadcast. All I need now is access to the master controller.

Max? Yeah, my identification's been checked.

I'm now a fully -fledged security guard.

You're in.

Good.

Now, the safe in the foyer of Six's penthouse runs on a set of nylon runners

that is activated by electronic pulse.

And that signal is sent from the central control box you see.

Do you think the files are in there?

It does seem a little obvious, doesn't it?

But we still have to go in and find out and be prepared either way.

Six has a bodyguard, a man named Doyle. He's the only person Arthur Six trusts.

He's a former army lieutenant who was accused of murdering his wife in a fit

rage, and it was only Six's intervention that kept him from going to prison for

a long, long time.

The loyalty between these two men will be hard to break.

While Six is showing his contempt for the Congressional Committee by hosting a

charity benefit at his penthouse, he calls it Patriot's Ball.

But he'll be broadcasting his weekly television show from there, which he

on special occasions.

Yeah, the broadcast takes place the night before the Congressional Committee

votes on its indictment.

We want to be sure that the party Arthur Six will never forget.

I need someone to check the air conditioning vents in my flower shop.

too cold in there.

I'll get on to that right away.

You know, Doyle...

The way I see it, having half the votes in the committee still isn't enough. I

want an absolute majority.

What I really want is total vindication.

I have photographs of one senator on a cruise to Acapulco with a Hollywood

actress.

What's the photo?

I don't think he'd want his wife to see them.

Use them.

Yes.

It's all yours, buddy.

Thanks.

You can also go to work on Representative Kellogg's friend of the

elderly. I'm sure he doesn't want his constituents to know he has gambling

with the syndicate for half a million dollars.

Anything else?

Let me think.

Send some flowers of condolence to Judge Vosper's widow.

Good work, Grant.

That's the foyer of the department.

There have to be other members of Oxford's committee with something to

Very few people come to Washington with clean hands.

Certainly made a career out of proving that.

Mr. Six, my name is Wendell. Darren Wendell, Hartford, Connecticut.

I know you're a very busy man, but I'm in trouble. It's a police matter.

I thought maybe with your connections you could be of some help.

You're the wrong man, Mr. Wendell. I'm a journalist.

Maybe if I mentioned a mutual acquaintance, Tom Oxenford?

Go on.

Senator Oxenford owes me some favors, but he's not in a position to help on

this. Mr. Six, this could be of mutual benefit.

Meet me at the Lincoln Memorial in one hour.

I'll be walking with a cane.

What do we have in Hartford, Connecticut?

We have an undercover detective.

He put some strings to help him out of a drug trafficking mess.

Oh, yeah.

Get him on the phone.

Right.

Profile number, Mr. Darren Wendell. Fine, field.

Ready whenever we get the call.

Let's go.

Detective Bureau, Sergeant Pines.

Mr. Six.

Oh, yes, the journalist.

I'm sorry, but Shepard's out this week.

But he did mention the fact that if he ever called, I was to help you out as

best I can.

Oh, fine.

You should have a file on a Darren Wendell.

I'd like everything you have faxed to me, please.

Yes, sir. It'll take me a couple of minutes to pull it up.

Okay, bye.

All right.

In five minutes from now, my tawdry pass will be faxed to Mr. Six. Grant?

I think it's time we find out what's in the safe.

Arthur Six, Almanac, calling for Tuesdays slash headlines.

Corruption in federal housing projects.

Seven -state network of political payoffs includes some of the biggest

the building and construction trade.

You know, if I figured everything I knew, I'd bring down Capitol Hill. I

it boggles the mind.

No wonder why Mr. Wendell's so anxious.

I'll finish the call later.

Right now, I have an appointment.

I'm Baron Wendell.

Thank you for coming in. Let's cut the chit -chat, Wendell. You're in serious

trouble, yes?

Well, let me refresh your memory.

You were drunk. You were driving home from the club in perfect weather

conditions. You lost control of the car. You crossed the center divider. You

killed three very young, very innocent teenagers.

You almost crippled yourself.

Is that warmth?

Your information is impeccable.

Attention to detail, Mr. Wendell. The difference between the professional and

the also -rent.

I even have sworn statements from the eyewitness to the accident and the

investigating officer.

So my guess is you're looking at 30 years to life in a Connecticut

Now, Mr. Wendell, perhaps you should prove to me just how well you do know

Oxenford. Otherwise, we're wasting our time here.

And I don't want talk.

I want real proof, real proof that you can influence him.

American flag.

I pledge allegiance.

You know what I mean?

Did Mr.

Six order this?

Hey man, I just do what the decorator tells me to.

But if you don't like it, it's gone. I didn't tell you to get rid of it.

Hey old man, you want to make up your mind on this?

All right.

Put it on.

Nice arrangement.

I'm serious. I like your work.

Thank you.

That's very supportive.

Well, Mr. Six always gets the best, and obviously you know your stuff.

Well, this isn't my first Washington party, and I don't intend it to be my

You work for him, I take it?

Associate.

Well, Mr. Associate, I'm very busy, and I'm sure you are, so... Are you going to

the party?

I wasn't invited maybe I can do something about that

Wow, Mr. Thick, perhaps we could go over the security arrangements for tomorrow

night. That should have been arranged days ago.

Well, it doesn't hurt to double check.

He's alive.

He's obviously

a pro.

We'll take care of this, Mr. Seuss.

Not yet. I want to see what he's been looking for.

Hey. Hey.

What are you looking for in the safe?

Not now. He needs medical treatment.

He's a thief. He'll be treated like a thief.

What are you looking for?

I haven't taken anything out. I was trying to put something in.

What is it?

What's happened?

Vosburgh's diary.

How much more incriminating can you get?

When I opened the safe, it was empty.

So I went to the backup plan.

When I put the envelope in, that's when it hit me.

You better believe it.

Senator, Senator, Senator, can you comment on this? Can you please, sir?

Senator Atkinson is turning truth to the rumors that members of your committee

are being put under pressure to influence their vote. If one of those

were true, I'd bring charges.

Are you attempting to trade the source of those rumors?

I believe enough evidence has been presented to the committee to bring a

jury indictment against Mr. Atkinson.

If each committee member votes on the evidence... The senator's done a good

but he's still not sure his committee will back him up.

It's time we had a talk.

Grant, how are you doing?

For a guy who feels like he just went ten rounds with Mike Tyson?

Terrific.

Is six on his usual schedule?

Should be having drinks at La Francoise.

Then if we're going to find the hidden file, I think it's time we turned up the

heat.

Sycophants and hypocrites.

Which reminds me, our police captain in Baltimore needs a good caller.

I think it's about time we gave him the Yarmouth.

Yarmouth?

We've been using Yarmouth for years. Well, unfortunately, it's time to let

go. Sometimes friends become expendable.

Walter? Walter?

I'm watching you. Did he phone this shit?

Yeah.

Oh, just a minute.

Excuse me.

That's right.

You like danger

and excitement?

That's why you just casually dropped in here today?

Oh,

right.

Patriot's balls.

I'll take a rain check.

Timing's not good now.

Please.

That sounds good to me.

Well run it to somebody you knew nobody important they never are I always want

something Okay

Preachers

have had it. Oh, you know, it's always easy to find people like you Okay, tell

your friend to take it easy. Mr I'm telling just how pleased you are to see

I don't know you. Really? Really.

Didn't you get my message today?

A photograph of Judge Bosberg with an unfortunate entry in his diary.

We better talk about lots of pages from Bosberg's diary.

I suspect you even have a proposition for me.

You're real smooth, aren't you? Not as smooth as you think.

I gather, committee, you're history.

What alternative do you suggest?

About 500 ,000 reasons why I should not take what I have to the committee.

You're crazy. We don't do this.

When do you want these 500 ,000 reasons?

Tomorrow morning.

Right after the bank opens.

Come to my penthouse.

There's a round -round parking lot right opposite the Constitution Tour

building. You may be on the bottom level near the elevators.

Penthouse shop.

My associate, Mr.

Doyle, will handle the transaction, okay?

As long as he brings the cash.

Gentlemen.

Arthur, we can track this guy through.

But he doesn't even know how much the stuff is worth.

Let's do this the easy way.

Tomorrow, you'll meet him with the payoff.

A couple of .45 caliber slugs.

Five minutes, Nicholas.

Almost there. Then, Nicholas, be careful.

Bring the money.

Closer.

On the ground.

Good afternoon, Senator.

I'm the man who called you.

You mentioned a name.

Darren Wendell.

He was my best friend.

Yes, I know.

He died 23 years ago trying to save your life.

Operation Blue Fox.

Well, that operation's still classified.

Who are you?

Let's just say I'm someone who thinks Darren Wendell has another chance to be

hero. But you'll have to do as I ask, without question.

Now, Grant has analyzed the exact dimensions and details of cranial and

structures of our six.

Now, what I've really come up with is a RAM matrix, which forms those features

and then molds them with thermoform rubber.

Well, Mr. Wendell, I'm ready for a success story.

I've convinced Senator Oxenford to come to your Patriots ball tonight. That's a

start. Well, I'll believe that when I see it. No, no, he'll be there. He gave

his word.

Now, if you could fulfill your end of our arrangement.

All in due time.

Mr. Six, give me some idea of what you have in mind. My whole reputation is...

Mr. Wendell, I'm a professional.

I make sure I have every detail worked out in advance.

It's the only way to succeed.

Now, just a small jab.

He'll be up like a light.

It's painless and harmless.

It's very devious.

And the anesthetic will keep him under about five minutes. Good.

Six has some files.

And they look like the ones we faxed early on Darren Wendell.

Good. Maybe we'll get to see where he actually keeps them.

He's shredding them.

Sensible business practice.

When you're running an extortion racket, you don't want to keep evidence lying

around.

What's he doing now?

He's booting his computer.

Let's take a closer look.

I don't believe it.

He's wiping the disc, too?

It doesn't make sense.

Obviously, he's not taking any chances.

He's got to have the information somewhere.

The answer has to be in that office.

If so, it's up to us.

Yes, tonight at the Patriot's Ball.

It'll be our last chance to get at those files before the committee meets.

One way or another, we're all going to be there.

Looks like most of them didn't get to the rest.

We really should be getting ready for the broadcast.

Yes, in about five minutes.

One second.

Excuse me. Excuse me.

This is quite a turnout, Mr. Six.

I expected Senator Oxenford to be an early arrival. I trust he's on his way?

Oh, he'll be here, yes.

Six will go upstairs for makeup before he goes on camera.

Senator Oxenberg and his wife just arrived.

You'll have less than ten minutes.

If everything else is on schedule.

That's all I'll need.

Well, I guess I'll make my entrance.

Good luck.

Senator, thank you for coming.

You appreciate this is not the most comfortable situation for me.

Yes, but worth it in the long run.

Why don't we move over here?

Enjoying the party?

I just arrived.

Let me give you the grand tour.

Well, I'd like that, but I have to say hello to a few friends first.

Pretty girl.

Any way you look at it.

Yes, one of the brightest on Capitol Hill, they say. Maybe a little too

ambitious for her own good.

Why, do you know her? Well, I've met her a couple of times through Senator

Oxenford. She's on his staff, one of his investigators.

Yeah.

That makes sense, doesn't it?

Excuse me for a minute, won't you?

How are we doing now, okay?

Excuse me, I'm sorry, but we've only got 12 minutes, and make -up is waiting.

Oh, sure. Excuse me, I have a broadcast.

Thanks.

Time to go to work.

Come on.

We're gonna take a grand tour right now.

We're gonna make a scene.

Come on.

What the hell are you doing?

I scream and you'll be on your way to prison.

Scream down?

I already ruined one girl's face.

Because you played me for the fool.

Might as well be the second.

You work for Senator Oxenford, and don't lie to me.

See, I got all the facts.

I'm not going to lie to you, Doyle.

Don't think for a second that you've got the facts on anything.

You're being sold out by your own boss.

I'm being sold out?

Yeah.

Somebody's got to take the fall on this investigation.

It's not going to be six.

Think about it.

Who's the obvious choice?

I'm going to buy it.

I don't buy it because you're making this up just to save your skin.

Doyle, what are you doing here? It's almost time for the broadcast.

Arthur, there's something I want to discuss with you.

Later. Get the girl out first.

Wait a minute. I want to talk... Don't argue. Get her out.

I'm not through with you yet.

After six will be make up another few minutes.

So I'll let Shannon stir up Doyle a little while longer.

It's hot in here.

Yep.

Hey.

Look at this.

Microchip unit.

With six related files.

Small, discreet, bright boy.

Why should I believe you when you tell me a deal is made? You've seen Six do it

to other people.

Why should you be any different?

Because it would be a big mistake.

Are these a mistake, too?

Your Mr. Six had them hurried to the Senate committee this afternoon.

Oh, no.

It was all a set -up.

Six had you targeted as his fall guy days ago.

Friends are always expendable.

Isn't that what he always says? Not me.

He's not doing this to me.

I want some answers. Calm down, Doyle. Don't make a scene.

Right.

What about these photographs?

You're setting me up. Get your priorities straight. If I go down,

of both of us.

And what the heck is that supposed to mean?

Think it through.

If we can get the committee to believe you've been operating on your own, using

me, keeping separate files, what?

Then you plead the fifth.

Clam up.

Even if you're indicted and convicted, what does it mean? Five?

Ten years at the most? You'll be out in half the time.

Let me tell you something. You're out of your mind.

I'm not going to prison.

And get over.

It's not feeling well.

We have to talk.

Please, not now.

Senator Oxenford may postpone the vote tomorrow to hear a new witness.

What new witness? One of his people, a woman, claims she can deliver your

bodyguard. Doyle?

Not a chance.

They have promised him immunity and unofficially a big payoff.

I'll do you in every time.

I think he went off that way.

Excuse me, sir. We've only got a minute 20 to air time. Bad labor for not back.

Introduce some of the guests.

We food.

Ladies and gentlemen of America, welcome to the Arthur Sixth Almanac.

Tonight is a very special program, as we are broadcasting from the luxurious

penthouse of America's most respected columnist, where Mr. Sixth is hosting

outstanding charity event on the Washington social calendar.

Senator, I think it's about to happen.

My files were erased in your files.

Don't hold back, guys.

I saw these photographs you sent me up for murder.

What are you talking about, Doyle? Let me tell you something, Arthur.

I'm not a patsy for anybody. When I go before the committee, I'm going to spill

my guts. I'm going to tell them everything.

Senators, judges that you bought.

When, where, how much, everything.

I mean, think of crossing me. How could you be so stupid?

I murdered people on your orders.

Forrest Haslett.

I'm going to tell them how you forced Judge Vosburgh to commit suicide right

here in this penthouse.

Don't be stupid.

Who believed you? Where's your truth?

My truth is in my head, in the brain that you don't think that I have.

But I remember everything, everything.

You say one word.

You say one word and I'll reopen your psychiatric files.

That's if I let you live long enough to speak to anybody.

It's the last time that you threaten anybody.

Don't be absurd.

Final example of your entire...

Mr. Six, you have just convicted yourself before a jury of your peers on

nationwide television.

That should close the Arthur Six almanac.
