I'd find you here. Laurel, I'm sorry. I got carried away and forgot the time.

It's Sunday, Jolene.

I mean, if I can't stop you working on the weekends, then I'll join you.

Hello? I am anxious to learn of your progress.

I have completed the final experiment and it is deadly, Yusuf. More deadly

you or I ever imagined or hoped.

My faith in you over the years has been rewarded, Jared.

I had a little expert help.

Very good. Now listen carefully.

I want to use the virus before the weed season ends. You must return

immediately.

Jared? Yes, I cannot talk right now.

He lied to me.

All these months, all our research, you had no intention of handing it over to

the university.

Laura. Why, Jared?

We made a good team, you and I.

You know, the early explorers in Africa thought the giraffe was a cross between

two other animals.

Well, the ancient Greeks called it the camel leopard.

Neck like a camel, spots like a leopard.

Right. There's more information on the signboard.

for science and development in the country of Orenbach.

Kay is a terrorist who has formulated a blackmail scheme directed against the

United States, which he believes will ingratiate him with his rulers and make

Orenbach feared throughout the Western world.

Jared, a protege of Kay, had worked for several years in Orenbach developing a

virulent genetic virus capable of destroying a nation's total wheat

He came to the United States seeking advanced technology.

and found it with the unsuspecting help of geneticist Laurel Taylor.

She is now dead.

Kay's plans to release the virus into the American wheat belt were temporarily

thwarted by a laboratory fire, which left Jared horribly disfigured. He is

recovering in a Washington, D .C. hospital after having undergone

plastic surgery.

Your mission, Jim, should you choose to accept it, is to destroy this insidious

project at its base in Morambach.

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.

With Laurel Taylor's inspecting help, Jared was able to turn wheat seeds like

these into deadly carriers of his virus.

These were found clutched in his hand after the fire.

How deadly is the virus?

Just one carrier seed planted in a healthy wheat field will infect and

the entire crop.

When the black seeds germinate, they release the virus.

And it affects the cellular structure of all the other wheat plants, making them

vulnerable to ultraviolet light.

Understand that, right?

Now, if Kay's plan were to succeed, there wouldn't be a grain of wheat

in the United States for the next 30 years. So we have to destroy these water

-scouring seeds.

Exactly. But first, we have to make sure that all Jared's research has been

eradicated. To do that, we have to get into his laboratory in Orenbach.

What's the security like?

A nightmare.

It's in the middle of a military compound.

With Kay's help, it may not be as difficult as we think.

He's on his way to the United States right now.

He's come to get Jared out of the hospital and take it back to Orenbach.

We're going to have to move fast.

Wheat sowing season?

Very close.

Well, we've managed to keep Laurel Taylor's death a secret so I can replace

Jared and I are the perfect couple.

That's exactly what we want Mr. K to think.

I've anesthetized the guy.

He's ready to be moved.

Good. We've got 30 minutes before the real surgeon makes his rounds.

Nicholas?

Yes.

I put the micro camera into these frames, along with a miniature

While you're wearing them, everything you look at will be sent back to us.

That transmission life is about four hours.

It's a little heavy, but they're okay.

Oh, well, not much. I don't have the time.

He's early.

He's on the floor and coming your way.

Right back.

Mr. Jared's room.

Just down the hall.

Nice to see you, Mr. Jared.

I'm sorry, sir, but visiting hours aren't until 3 o 'clock.

I have come halfway around the world.

Are you a family member?

Yes, I am family. Have his wounds healed?

I am Mr. Jodhead's plastic surgeon.

I think before you see him, we should talk.

The extent of his injuries was horrific.

Oh, my God, I had no idea.

Advances in laser surgery, as well as new techniques in grafting.

The development of regenerative drugs has taken plastic surgery into the 21st

century. You have not answered my question.

You don't seem to understand.

I had to rebuild this man's entire face.

He had extensive muscle as well as nerve damage.

His speech could very well be affected.

His bandages can come off tomorrow, but he won't be discharged for a week. That

is too long.

Yes. As you can see, the worst for wear.

I think I'll leave you alone for a few moments.

This is Laurel Taylor.

How do you do?

We must talk, Jared.

Alone.

It was Laurel that saved my life.

Uh -huh.

I feel better when the bandages come off.

Jared, I am under much political pressure. I must use your discovery. I

it now.

Yes, yes.

You know, the research was destroyed in the fire.

But as soon as you can get me back to my laboratory in Orenbach, I will

duplicate it. The bandages will be off in 24 hours, and I will be able to

travel. We must leave tonight. I have a charter flight. The two of us will...

The three of us.

I will not go anywhere without her. Her knowledge in genetics and cellular

structure is essential.

I won't agree to him being discharged until the bandages are off. We are not

seeking your permission. We have important business to attend to and we

leave tonight.

He could get an infection.

If I need medical help, I will seek it.

Can it wait a few days?

No.

I can't wait.

We'll travel tonight.

Well, the bandages will come off in Orenburg tomorrow.

And you'll be there to help me.

Isn't that correct, yourself?

Yes.

She will be there to help.

We are not going to my house.

Everything you need has been moved into the compound.

You will stay with me. Your work is here.

It is vital that we make up for lost time and bring this project to quick

completion.

He won't be able to use his eyeglasses until they remove the bandages.

Who are you?

You are not Jared.

He is not Jared.

He is not Jared.

Who are you?

Who are you? Speak.

What do you mean who are you? You know who I am. I'm Jared.

Jared.

necklace. Oh, Tom.

Not so bad.

I could get used to it.

It is not Jared's face.

Yes, sir.

I have no face at all.

The doctors had to completely rebuild it.

I know that's not Jared's fate.

But those are his eyes.

You think I wouldn't know?

The compound is heavily guarded. My security is impregnable. Without my

approval, no one, no one can get in or out.

You will rest today and commence work tomorrow.

Shall we

go

for a walk?

Why not?

He's transmitting now.

Ask him to turn slowly 90 degrees right.

Right, Nicholas?

Once around the box.

I'm so tired, I just can't keep my eyes open.

Oh, I'll come with you.

Josefa, I apologize.

But I thank you.

And I bid you good night.

Got it.

Now, what do you make of that?

That could be the laboratory.

Controlled environment by the looks of that heating equipment there.

And water pipes.

Maybe it's a sprinkler system.

We're right there.

But doesn't that look like a fuel storage tank?

Yeah, I think you'll want to have a closer look at that in the morning, Max.

I know how we're getting in there.

What are you looking for me?

I don't think I'm going to enjoy this. Yeah, I know. I know. It goes completely

against your grain.

Hold that truck!

There is a problem?

That was close.

Yeah, tell me about it.

I'll see what I can do about that LeBarge here and get back to you.

This truck is as sick as my uncle who owns it.

Death is but days away, I'm afraid.

We'll need some help, my friend.

Push it clear.

Go, here.

You push, I'll drive.

You push, I'll drive.

many thanks my friend you've been more help than you know

ID, security background on everyone in case compound.

Good work.

Do you have nothing to say to each other?

Of course.

It's been a long time, Mukta.

Who is this man?

This is Jared. Return to us. He has had plastic surgery.

You should try it sometime.

It's good to have you back.

That is.

Laura Taylor.

Geneticist. And my right hand.

How do you do?

Is there something wrong, Jared? You've seen this a hundred times.

Last time I saw it, I was much closer to it.

What a pleasant memory.

Jared is even more handsome.

Do you not agree?

Yes, I think so.

What are you to him?

Are you his lover?

That's my business.

Twelve months ago, it was my business.

Possibly, it will be again.

I'd like to see the rest of the growing wheat now.

Of course, Mukta.

Lauren. Oh, I think I'll stay and see how Zita is responding.

I'm alone in the laboratory.

Well, you've developed a fine product, Mokhtar.

As is his duty.

Jim, there's a culture dish filled with black seeds in the radiation room.

Shannon, they have to be destroyed.

Can you get in and make the substitution?

Can do. I've got the phony seed.

There's only 130 seconds between bursts of radiation.

I know, Grant.

I can do it. Be careful.

Think of it yourself. Millions of seeds, each one of them a messenger of death,

death and famine.

This is truly a weapon, a weapon to surpass any bone.

Shannon, here's my heart. She's coming back.

Jim. Jim, can you read me?

When this crop is harvested, the kernels which have been impregnated with the

virus will be ready for irradiation.

What is it? You are sick?

Oh, no.

It's a migraine.

I've listened to the plastic surgery.

Excuse me.

Can I get you something?

Anything that will kill the pain.

Thank you.

I'm

all

right, comrade.

You all right?

I'm fine.

Thank heaven for that.

She's exchanged our black seeds for the infected ones.

All right, so far, so good. Now she and Nicholas have to destroy Jared's

research while Max hits up the final blow.

Got an idea.

And that... and all of Jared's work... no longer...

exist.

So much for his research.

You must understand there have been unavoidable delays.

You have enjoyed certain privileges and honors since you promised us this

weapon. A weapon you said was more powerful than any nuclear device.

Now you bring me plants.

See. Excellency, I do not make promises I cannot keep.

It has been over four years. Perhaps the comforts you have enjoyed over this

time have dulled your sense of purpose.

I assure you not, General.

And I doubly assure you our patience is limited and we have no sympathy for

failure. Believe me, General, in a matter of weeks America will be on its

begging for mercy.

Be sure it is America, Joseph.

Not you.

You said you had to refine the virus, accelerate it. You said it was almost

ready. Almost? I said almost.

We lost so much in America.

Surely you understand that.

Cultures, seedlings, viral organisms.

Your interference is not helping. I am not the only one growing impatient. The

general is also waiting for the weapon you promised us. A week. No, not a week.

Tomorrow. You will be ready tomorrow.

Yousef, do not threaten me.

Without me, you have nothing.

I do need you, Jared.

But I do not need her.

Do you understand me?

Tomorrow, by midday.

What are you telling me? I'm telling you that your friend Jared in his American

paramour have wiped the tape. The whole of the research has been obliterated.

You have no copy.

That too is gone.

I knew something was wrong from the moment I laid eyes on that woman.

The seeds?

At least we still have both.

A mere handful.

It's enough to carry out the plan.

Give them for me.

Joseph, they may not be ready.

Get them.

Keeping the records was your duty, Isfahan. You failed!

forgotten how to knock yourself?

I have forgotten many things, Jared, but I haven't forgotten how to deal with my

enemies.

I thought we were friends.

We were, Jared.

Until you betrayed me. I have checked your computer.

What are you talking about? He's done everything you asked.

He has used my money, my support, my facilities to develop his virus.

For your benefit yourself and for our country.

And then he has sold his discovery to the highest bidder, to our enemies.

God!

You are under arrest.

You will be given a fair trial and then you will be executed.

I've got a problem.

Max, are you all right? Yeah.

But the timing device is in better days.

Look, I connected the sprinkler system to the gasoline tanks, but without the

timing device.

We can't set it off. Can you find a bucket?

A bucket?

Well, not around here.

Maybe there's one in the laboratory.

My eyeglasses, please.

I can hardly see without them.

A last request.

Here.

Nicholas has been arrested.

Everything's going according to plan.

No sign of Shannon.

While I will face the wrath of the general, it is you who will face the

executioner unless you agree to testify a state witness against Jerez.

I can't do it. Then you will both be found guilty. I told you I didn't know

he was up to. I have no idea why he did it.

Because he is a traitor and you assisted him.

How? No.

Or die.

The choice is yours.

Good. Now just make sure there's no more than a trickle of gasoline.

You don't want that bucket to fill too early.

Gotcha.

The people's court is now in session.

We will give charges.

I bring a charge against this man, Jared, of treason against the people and

state.

Is this the man you assured us would provide Orenbach with a new and deadly

weapon? It is, Your Excellency, and he has betrayed the trust I placed in him.

am not interested in trust, Joseph K.

Beware how you proceed, or you'll find yourself before the same tribunal.

Please, gentlemen, I must enter the court.

What is happening there?

Who is this man?

I beg your pardon, Excellency. I apologize for entering your court in

manner.

My name is Wilson. I'm an attorney for Amnesty International.

I'm here to act as counsel for Miss Laurel Taylor.

Lauren Taylor is only a witness here. She does not stand accused. This is the

man on trial.

Sir, do you require representation?

Yes, sir.

Your Excellency.

Let them talk.

Thank you.

I call the man known as Joseph K.

I am prosecuting this man.

And I am calling you as a witness.

You will take the stand.

accused my client of destroying the weapons for financial gain.

He has obviously sold out to the Americans. Everyone has his price.

Oh, yes, yes. Everyone has his price.

Even you?

No! I am not on trial here.

You know what Jared is charged with?

Yes. Did you assist him in any way?

I assisted him in his research.

But I didn't help him destroy it.

Then you acknowledge his guilt?

I'm sorry.

I don't want to die.

All right.

All right, I confess.

I did destroy my research.

But I am proud of what I did.

Jared, be careful.

He confesses his guilt? Yes, I am guilty.

The seeds I produced would have made my country strong.

But I was tempted to sell out by that man, Yosuke.

It was himself, Yosuke, that convinced me, no, ordered me, to destroy my

research so that our people could never have it. What are you saying?

Isn't it true you masterminded the whole scheme?

He is lying.

The whole plan was mine, but not to destroy the seeds, to destroy our

And I was almost ready.

The seeds have been ready for weeks, but he sold out to the Americans.

And isn't it true the final step in your plan was to destroy the research

facility?

Lies, lies, all lies.

I am loyal to Arnbach.

I dealt with nobody.

I am loyal to Arnbach.
