Are you sure this is safe, Mel?

Shannon, don't worry. You're here with
VIP.

We've got you covered, okay?

It's just that I've been such a nervous
wreck.

Ever since those, you know, terrorist
kidnappers put a price on my head. I

Every mercenary in town is trying to
kill you. Just relax.

I've learned anything in this business,
you've just got to relax when you can,

enjoy yourself, and get your troubles.

It's them. Yeah, it's them.

Oh, I know.

Tasha's got them. Don't worry.

Okay, guess you're right.

Oh, there's more.

Nikki wants to chat. Don't worry.

Hey.

Wow. You guys really had this thing down
by the numbers.

Yeah, it was a pretty routine case.

Do you ever get a reaction, Michelle?

Not if I can avoid it.

I'm not a violent person.

They can't trash it now. They enjoy it.

Should I be worried?

No, no, it's Cliff's turn.

Now, one of them's probably just going
to slip by, and I'll nail him with the

ice chest.

Wait.

Do you mind if I...

Give it a try. Oh, be my guest. Go for
it.

You're right. Now I really,

really ought to learn to relax more.

Just so.

Yeah.

You guys don't understand. I got my
lucky punch. I'm not a bodyguard. But we

are. You'll just be a figurehead.

A name on the door. You'll probably
never even leave the office.

You'll help us pull in the rich and
famous.

We'll do the rest. We're professionals.

We'll take care of all the tough stuff.
I'll never be in any danger.

Never. Never. Never.

Hey, I'm the vice president of
production, not God.

Is it my fault New Era green -lighted a
picture on the basis of a raunchy

script?

I did.

Fine. It is my fault.

So what do you want me to do?

I don't know.

Save money on the lighting.

Feel the cool shimmering As it squashes

over Slowly eyes opening to a longing

Somebody like you.

Somewhere in this world.

Somebody like me.

We lucked out.

Our last client owning a massage parlor.
Yeah, we did.

Now all you need to do is protect a
personal trainer and my life will be

complete. You hate working out. You hate
to work out.

working out.

I'm gonna watch him work out.

Val's house of oil.

Val, thank God you're there.

I recognize that voice.

I miss the studio party at Union.

Dry martini, two olives.

I can put you in my movie.

It's a bad pickup line, but this is no
joke. Are you available for some

bodyguard work like right now?

Why, what's up?

I've been following since Calabasas.

Where are you? I just passed Laurel
Canyon.

I'm going to try to make it over to
Sunset, so I'll call you when I get

Max, call Tasha.

Try to get over here right away and pick
me up. Okay.

Just turn around for a second.

Don't be shy.

I'm shy.

You're shy.

I'm shy. You're very shy.

I know.

Ooh, your tag is showing.

VIP?

Maxine De La Cruz here.

What can I do for you today?

Ooh, if you give me a minute, I can
think about it.

Mm -hmm.

Will you stop flirting with Quick and
just tell him to get over here?

Who's flirting?

Hello, Steve?

Belle, where are you?

Are they still following you?

Belle, I can't shake this guy.

Belle, just ask him where he is. Just
tell me where you are.

I'm heading west on Sunset.

That's less than a mile away.

You testify, Wisner. You're a dead man.

I don't know what you're talking about.

Belle!

Okay, tough guy, grab some food before I
feed it to you. She'll do it, too.

You okay?

Yeah, fine, thanks.

You're welcome.

Maybe now's a good time to explain
what's going on.

Sure, fine. You want the pitch? Fade in
on a rising studio executive who's

minding his own business when all of a
sudden he discovers the bootleg video

scan. Cut to the chase. I've got a short
attention span.

I was supposed to testify in secret, but
obviously somebody hires these geniuses

to shut me up. Guess no one thought
about police protection.

Well, the FBI said they'd have round
-the -clock protection.

They're probably at a Starbucks
somewhere.

paper, Sam.

I had no idea he was our client.

Yeah, well, he's still getting a bill
from us either way.

Not again.

Pick yourself, man. I'm still ready to
rumble. Relax.

They're the good guys.

Agents McCoy and Lampert. FBI.

Yeah, they're the ones assigned to watch
out for me.

And they're doing quite a job.

I smell promotion.

Real funny.

Who are you? We were the ones who were
there when he needed you.

We're sorry, Mr. Wesner. You were
driving so fast, our tail car lost you.

Lost him? Do you know that thief was
almost killed?

Won't happen again?

Come on.

Let's go.

Whoa, big fella. Just a second.

What if I wanted to hire a VIP?

It's not possible.

Actually, it is.

See, Mr. Wisner's a private citizen, so
he can hire whoever he wants.

He's right.

But right now, this house is the most
secure place for Mr. Wisner to be.

All right, we've vetted the house staff,
swept for bombs.

This is where he's staying.

You don't mind if we double -check?

I'd like Val personally looking out for
me.

If that's okay with you.

Actually, it would be better if... No,
it's fine.

It's fine.

I've always wanted to see a movie
producer's house anyway.

Keep the communication line turned on so
we can keep tabs.

This case of yours?

It's supposed to be a secret testimony?

That's right.

Well, newsflash.

Your secret's out.

How did you win on us?

Yep.

What does a producer do, anyway? I've
always kind of wondered that.

A producer?

It's kind of like, well, it's
complicated.

You see, I have to do everything.

I mean, I do everything. If I didn't
tell everyone everything to do, nothing

would come of anything.

Dear Steve, if you ever actually take
time to read something instead of having

your assistant do it, then read this.

You're no talent jackass.

Let me see that.

Those kidders.

You know, I never thought you'd be
calling me after that premiere.

Well, I never thought I'd be a target.

I guess saving people's lives is all in
a day's work for you.

Yeah, all in a day's work.

Okay, nice story, except I did all the
work at that screening. I think Val was

out looking for clam dip or something.

Your studio sticks are all alike.

Yeah, come on. Maybe the guy will put us
in a movie.

Give him a chance.

Right. The next thing you know, he'll
probably be inviting her to his jacuzzi.

Hey, let's hit the jacuzzi. I think I
got a suit just your size.

I'm sure you do.

What are they doing here?

Oh, these are my housekeepers.

Helga and Ursula.

They're from Sweden.

Yeah. Thank you, pal.

Shouldn't they be cleaning some
disgusting mess in the kitchen below

Yeah, yeah, right.

Well, they were just cleaning the
jacuzzi's filters.

It's a chopper.

Go figure.

Guess that's how it's done in Sweden.

I'm sorry, lady. She's the guest. We'll
just have to finish cleaning later.

Oh, you a pooper.

Did you get ketchup?

Plenty. Look at the bottom.

We're not sending him out again. That is
it.

There you go.

Yeah. Whatever.

Beautiful night.

It's me, you, and the bubbles.

I really like you, pal.

I really like you, too, Steve.

That's why I need to tell you something.

Now, don't get really...

Please do not tell him you are not a
bodyguard.

I'm not a real bodyguard.

Hey, I'm not really a big shot producer
either.

Inside, we're all just scared little
kids.

True.

But the truth has a little more to it
than that, though. Well, the truth is

overrated. Look what happened to me.

I tried to do the right thing, exposing
the bootleg scandal. Now people are

hunting me.

The thing you're testified to, it must
be really big.

Fans of the globe.

There are top studio executives
involved.

Are you naming names?

Some.

Enough.

Any I know?

These ladies really privatize.

Anyone with a sheen?

This whizner is spilling his guts.

Maybe everybody just lets him with our
reception.

It's really scary.

Steve?

I have a message. for you.

Can it wait?

Oh, great. Is this another Swedish
thing?

I don't know, but I have got to give her
a raise.

He's dead.

You okay?

I'm okay as I can be.

All right.

So, after this housekeeper dropped her
top and opened fire, what did you do?

I hyperventilated. I always
hyperventilate when I freak out.

Why didn't you go after the shooter?

It's kind of hard to do a spring back
kick in a jacuzzi. What exactly were you

doing in a jacuzzi?

I was jacuzziing.

Is that your idea of providing
protection?

All right, that's enough.

Valerie Irons is a professional
bodyguard.

She obviously knew what she was doing.

Thanks, Bruce. If she knew what she was
doing, why is Wisner dead?

Can I get another bottle of water?

Why ask me? You made it pretty clear
this was an FBI case. Hell, I didn't

get to see the body.

Look, we'll take care of the autopsy.

We done here?

Don't leave town. We'll be in touch.

What do you mean, be in touch? What do
you mean, be in touch?

I didn't do anything.

Yeah, but she didn't do anything.

That's the problem.

She didn't do anything.

We never should have let a non -pro
-like Val front the company.

Seems like Val tried to do the right
thing.

Look, we just need to deal with it and
move on.

Whatever. My ears are ringing. I know
you guys are talking about me. No, we're

not. Yes, we were.

About how you let the client get killed.

Look, I like the guy. You're acting as
if I killed him. No, just our

What good are bodyguards that can't
protect their clients?

We've got company.

As you left.

What can we do for you? Well, we may
have overlooked some details.

Can I buy you a cup of coffee?

We've got coffee here. We've got Kona,
we've got decaf, we've got mochas. He

wants to talk to you alone.

I need you to come downtown and answer a
few more questions.

Look, you already told me I can't leave
town.

Now you want me to come downtown?

I'm getting scared.

I don't mean to scare you.

It's all right, Val.

How long has that been there?

You okay?

Yeah, I'm okay. I knew coming downtown
was going to be a bad idea.

What do they want?

You. That's what I was going to tell
you.

Now that you know what Wizard knew,
you're a target.

I'm going to get back to the office. No,
you can't. That's the first place

they'll look. You've got to go
underground.

All right, don't contact anyone. Don't
go home. Don't call anyone, especially

not VIP.

And don't use your cell phone.

Here, take this. That's all I got. Well,
what am I going to do? Look, there's no

time for questions, all right?

You've got to get moving.

I'll contact you. Two rings and a hang
-up. Make the next call as me.

Here. I don't want a gun.

Yeah, get used to it. Hey, Grandpa.

What? Be careful.

It's so weird.

Val is not answering her cell phone.

She's in mourning.

There's a special place to shop for
that, isn't there?

If she's on the run, Val's in trouble.

She sticks out like a sore thumb. Those
bootleggers will find her in a second.

She's a beauty, isn't she?

Yeah, if you're looking for a junk heap
for target practice.

Target practice. That's a good one.

It gets better.

I guess you're a real bargain hunter.

Hunter, yeah.

Bargain, definitely.

I hear you.

Now, keep in mind this baby's got low
miles and a V6 overhead cam.

Normally, I'd have to get $850 for it.

$500 cash.

Plus a lady Rolex.

Well, how do I know it's not a knockoff?

How do I know this turd heat's still
going to move after I'm off the lot?

Deal.

That was easy.

What took you so long?

Traffic.

Thanks, Helga.

Mind if I count it?

My guest.

Pleasure doing business with you.

Likewise.

She what?

Fled. We were ambushed outside of
Starbucks, then she just took off.

Poor Val.

She must be so scared.

I think she'd call us.

She hasn't contacted you by now?

Not a word.

What I don't understand is why she'd be
ambushed in the first place.

She knows too much.

It'll be a first time for everything.

Well, if she does contact you, don't be
heroes.

Call us immediately.

So you can help her like you did
Widener?

We'll be much.

Is it me, or does something seem way
off?

She would have called us.

Yeah, unless something's really got us
scared.

I forgot my pen.

Your pen.

I just thought you should know we're
investigating Lambert.

Lambert? He could be the leak.

So if Miss Irons does call, you should
call me.

Thanks.

I hate being right.

And it's all out to us.

In another bedtime story.

In another bedtime story.

In another bedtime story. Now, what's on
my spoon?

You are the only person I trust and I
don't know why.

Monkey. Everybody else gets that.

Oh,

well, I did my best. Go, you pig.

Jeremy, go in.

Look at her, little sister.

Well, don't worry. I'll protect you.
Good.

That's children.

Hello. Hello.

Uh -oh, the pipe leaves in the house.

We're trying to have some fun. Come on.

for free because she was never that
generous with me.

Max's penthouse.

Yeah, the one her manufacturer brought
her. You know that dork who buys those

lame old inventions?

Yes, yes, yes. We both live in Maxine's
beautiful penthouse.

So, give me the lowdown on this
manifest.

What kind of name is Quick anyway?

Oh, her man, yes. A very good boyfriend
kind of name. Yeah, you know, especially

if you're an arrest.

Okay, thank you, Detective.

Detective Grisby said that some nameless
man came and bailed the housekeeper out

of jail.

Somebody obviously paid him off.

They set Val up.

Worse than that, there's an APB out on
her.

For what?

She left town and she wasn't supposed
to.

She's listed as armed and dangerous.

Val! Now we have the so -called good
guys and the bad guys after. Yeah, well,

gotta find her before someone else does.

Not at the penthouse, but she didn't
even go home to change her clothes.

This must be serious.

All I found was a note from Maxine
saying she was at her mother's.

Wait, Val and Maxine both out of town?

Anybody see a connection?

No, even if they're both at Maxine's
mom's, we'll never find them. There's

to be at least three pages of Della
Cruz's in the phone book. I know she

a lot of time on those online chat
rooms.

Maybe I can find a profile.

This whole thing smells.

Why involve Val?

5 '10", 36D, and leather.

Oops. This must be one of Maxine's
alternative profiles. Hold on a second.

What's her screen name on that one?

Ebony Delight.

Why?

No reason.

Okay, here's the real one.

Born and raised in Whittier, California.

Got an address?

The next morning, he awaits to find
himself in a bathtub filled with ice.

And written on the wall, it says, call
911.

And he looks at his chest, and he
notices that his heart is missing.

And then... Hold up, hold up. Wait a
minute.

Wait a second. He looked at his chest,
and his heart was missing.

Wouldn't he be dead?

It's an urban legend, silly. It's not
supposed to be true.

This is the place.

Anyway.

Then there's a knock at the door.

Break it down.

It's all right. Okay. What do we do now?

Everybody just go turn off the light and
get to the basement. But wait a minute.

Isn't that what you do during a tornado?

Okay. Okay. Okay.

Wait a minute.

Don't come any closer.

Don't come any closer.

See that little red light?

It's aimed right between your eyes.

You can't see the little dot on your
forehead, but I can.

If I pull the trigger, I'm not going to
miss.

Put your hands up!

In a baby's toe -counting game, it's
what you... Yeah, what about you? It's

Donnie and Marisha.

My arm!

Oh, what took you so long?

What happened to High Quick? Thanks for
showing up in the nick of time.

High Quick, thanks for showing up in the
nick of time.

What took you so long?

Real funny.

Come on, let's go.

Police should be at Maxine's mom's any
minute now.

Cheryl, I said no boys in the house.

Sir, I'd like to be more interested in
us.

Thanks, Kay.

What's up?

Guess who bailed out our hot tubbing
housekeeper?

Ken Starr.

Lambert. Why would he do that?

Because he's the leak.

This is worse than going downtown.

Oh, my God.

Ring.

What should I do?

Tell him you're alone. Tell him you want
to meet with him.

Hello?

Of course I'm alone. Of course.

Me, all by my lonesome. I'm just here
all by myself. Really, by myself.

Um, okay. Safe house? Okay.

Got it.

Bye.

He wants to meet me at some safe house.

Sounds like a trap.

We'll be ready for him.

Were you followed?

And shot at.

Don't forget about me.

Just put the gun down.

I can explain everything.

You first.

Now.

Just let me show you something inside.

Don't move.

Put the gun down!

I'm gonna shoot!

Don't move!

Be cool.

Just let me open the door.

Hello?

Valerie!

What are you doing here?

We made it look like Steve had been
killed to take the heat off.

What's with that whole stupid Val
fugitive thing?

Val, believe me, they just told me you'd
be a witness to my murder, nothing

more.

We've been trying to find our leak, and
once you were ambushed, let's just say

you were a very useful target.

Well, did you find the leak?

Not yet.

Changing the guard.

How you guys doing? Hey, guys.

New shifts in town.

When do you want to move him out?

Soon. Wizards are doing court tomorrow.

I'm going to get something from the car.

I'm really sorry.

Like I said, I didn't know it would turn
into such a big thing. Steve, Steve, I

said it's okay.

I'm just glad you're okay.

You're the only one I can trust to help
me out.

Just don't do it again.

Tasha, we've got a problem. Those new
agents are phonies. Agent Lambert.

Nice of you to join us.

You know how much these duds would cost
in a movie? God, I wish we were ruined.

Steve, hello, this is for real, okay?
Just get down.

Thanks for the assist.

Kicked his ass.

You guys must work on my next flick.
Wait.

Wait. I'm channeling an idea. Yes.

Fade in on three lethal ladies in
leather.

Sorry.

Three lethal ladies in leather and their
suave male bodyguard, Quick Williams,

kicking the tar out of them.

Looks like he's been plugged.

No, I mean it, Val. This last week has
changed my life. I've never felt so

and, hey, because of you.

You made me see what I really want in
life.

Oh, Steve, it's just because you're, you
know, you're... In love.

No. Yes.

No. Yes. No. You did it to me, Val. You
made me see what I really need.

It's action. That's my true love. Once
I'm resettled in the witness protection

program, I'm going to take up extreme
sports. Maybe even shoot a first -person

documentary.

Thank you, Val.

I'll never forget you.

Come on, Superstud.

We're ready to move out. Right.

By bureau standards, she was an
acceptable loss, sorry to say.

To crack the case.

After the ambush at the coffee house,
right?

That's right.

The problem is, that only leaves one
thing unexplained.

What's that?

The part where Wisner spills his guts to
Val.

Completely choreographed, so only Val
heard.

You set her up.

Like I said, she was an acceptable loss.
Take a hike, or you'll be an acceptable

loss.

If you're losing your debt, if there's
ever anything you need, just let me

Lambert, there's one thing.

Our reputation, we'd like it back.

Well, there's not much I can do now that
he's entered the witness program.

Officially, he's dead.

Find a way, or we'll make it unofficial.

Los Angeles Police Department officials
do support the measure. Saying such

handguns account for about 2 ,000 of the
7 ,000 weapons used in crimes and

seized annually by the LAPD.

We strongly support this ordinance,
Captain Richard Crane told the council.

We do have an illegal weapons and
trafficking problem in the city, and we

this ordinance definitely impacts the
problem.

This was definitely a good idea. I know.

I had no idea how tense I was.

Well, Dolly, Bruce, we're dealing with
yet another example of Hollywood's hold

on worldwide popular culture. Federal
authorities have busted a major

videocassette bootlegging operation.

Testimony from Millennium Pictures' vice
president, Steve Wisner, who lives

right behind me here, instrumental in
cracking that case. Also helping out,

Valerie Irons Protection Agency of
Beverly Hills. Back to you.

At least we got some free advertising.

And thanks to Valerie Irons, the world
is safe again.

Well, it's video bootlegging. It's a
global thing, so I guess I did save the

world.
