Thank you.

Hey, I'm sorry, man. I didn't think you'd be here yet. I wouldn't have come

back. I left my jacket in the car.

Take it easy, kid. No problem, really.

It's in the car?

Yeah. Yeah, but it's cool, man. I don't need it. No, hey, come on, kid. Don't be

silly.

No big deal.

You can get your jacket. It's all right.

Oh, man.

You scared the hell out of me.

They told me no matter what I do, I'm not supposed to be here when you showed

up. You know, leave the car and split.

And I saw you.

I don't know. I'm just glad it's cool.

Oh, yeah. It's cool, kid. But, you know, the next time somebody tells you to do

something, do it.

Yes, sir.

Go ahead. Yeah.

That cheap -ass jacket wasn't worth your life, kid.

In the city of angels, undercover of night.

People are drowning in a sea of light.

The devil holding your life on the line.

Angels are calling, praying for time.

Something's got to give.

Something's got to break.

Before it's too late.

Before it's too late.

Hey, thanks for doing this for me. I really appreciate it. Grif, say that

and I'm leaving.

He only asked me to do this because he knew I wouldn't charge.

A real model would want money.

You cheat, Grif. I am not cheap, okay? I am broke. Now, there's a difference.

You know, in fact, I wish I did have money so I could show people just how

generous I am.

Yeah, well, I wore this, but I brought these in case you want something

different. Um, no, no. It's got us first.

Okay.

Oh, hey.

Hey, guys. Fishing?

You guys are going fishing?

Yeah.

I've been trying to talk Mitch into this for weeks.

Okay, let's just do it, okay?

Okay, here's what I need you to do. You reach into that bucket and pull out that

bottle. Okay, what do you see?

Just your hand.

Just my hand?

Yeah.

Rick, you had me out here dressed like this for my hand?

Uh, yeah, that's all the shot calls for.

Oh, you ready?

What?

Nothing, nothing. Let's just shoot it.

Okay.

Okay, a little bit left.

There you go.

Oh, that's beautiful.

So, why are we meeting him here? We could have met him at night, or in the

office. Ned said he wanted the meeting innocuous. He said that people might be

watching, and since he fishes every morning, it seems to work.

Anyway, what difference does it make where we meet him? These guys don't have

heck of a lot of favor.

Meet him anywhere he won.

If I'd known that you hated fishing, I could have chose something else. Who

I hated fishing? I'm a great fisherman.

Thanks.

Wait, I forget. Is this guy FBI or CIM?

FBI. Okay, thanks.

Beautiful day.

Hey guys, thanks for coming.

You look very fresh.

So what's this all about?

Everything we say is confidential.

I'm looking for a man by the name of Bradley Thurman.

And I have reason to believe that he's somewhere on this coast.

Arrived a couple of days ago by freighter, private yacht.

How do you know that?

Just going to have to take my word for it.

Thurman ran 401K plans for an Arizona mutual fund.

Ran off with $100 million in bear bonds.

We tracked him to Belize.

We had him.

Then we lost.

Then we found out he had all kinds of plastic surgery.

I mean, this guy's built himself a whole new identity.

Now we're really sure that he's somewhere around here with his new face

very, very big bankroll.

Why here?

Oh, you know, he's an action junkie, you know.

Fast cars, faster women.

Son and fun kind of guy, that kind of thing.

He'll hang around for a while and then move on.

Everybody's after this guy.

What makes you think we can find him before you guys do?

Well, you know the area.

Besides, your contacts are completely different from ours.

People trust you.

All right.

Give me everything you got on this guy, and if we find out anything, we'll let

you know. No, no, no, no, no. I need you to be really proactive on this one.

This isn't a favor.

You help Uncle nail this guy, and whatever we recover, you'll get 20%.

you got a bite. You got a bite.

That's a lot of money, but that's for a conviction?

Nope. It's in whatever we recover.

So it could be nothing. Right.

He's on. Let him run. I am letting him run. But it could be... Right.

Tighten the drag.

Will you relax?

Don't let him go underneath the pier.

Look, I gotta get out of here.

Here's the files on him. Everything you need to know is right here.

Read it?

Home.

Got it.

Bye, Ned.

Oh, look, I caught something.

Whoa.

What is it?

Dinner.

Hey, where are you girls from?

Want to go get a couple of snow cones?

No, please. I know where there's some real good ones.

Daddy, you girls don't like snow cones.

Making a lot of noise.

Yeah, but those girls were pretty enough to deserve some noise.

I had some problems.

I heard.

The kid came back to the car.

He was told not to.

I got pictures.

A line and an address.

Everything's about set.

You dulled for a few days and we're ready to go.

Right.

Wow. Whatever it is, it sure smells great.

Get, get.

What?

You throw the risotto.

Make sure it doesn't stick. Now, wait a minute. I didn't tell you how to fish.

You don't tell me how to cook risotto.

Do you have any art on this guy?

Yeah.

Looks great.

Here, here's what he looked like when he left New York.

Now, these are all computer -art portraits of what he could look like now

surgery, gain or loss of weight, et cetera, et cetera.

Waste of time.

If the FBI had more than that.

Turned him into a Doberman pincher. I'd say I'd seen them all in the mall

yesterday.

Well, the FBI file that Ned gave me was more psychological.

Oh, good. You can change the face, but you can't change the man.

Oh, Sherlock.

What can you tell me about this Mr. Thurman?

Well, most of it's an obvious type A personality.

Win at any cost, loves the competition, loves the good life, the action.

Well, there are lots of places on the planet where a man with money can find

what he's looking for.

This is ready.

Let's see.

Yeah.

All right.

Smoking. Catch it, clean it, cook it. Well, there's something to be said for

pioneer stock.

The risotto was pretty good.

Caught it, cleaned it, cooked it.

So, uh, tell us more about our guy.

Right. Um, okay. Well, he wants to be noticed.

He wants to be respected.

Um, he's a very bad winner and an even worse loser.

He wants to physically dominate men, conquer women.

His entire persona is wrapped up in competition, all physical action, one

-one macho stuff.

Does it say what his game is?

Yeah.

Racquetball, tennis, squash, anything with a racket. This guy loves to spend

money, but he knows that the FBI is going to be watching all the legitimate

dealerships, major department stores for extra -large cash purchases.

So he'll be buying off the street.

Right. I'm sure you can cover that.

My granny's quilt.

So, listen, I'd love to stay and help you guys do the dishes, but I've got to

talk to some folks about who's new and who's spending large.

Well, while you're doing that, I'm going to go talk to Ned, because we don't

have the full story here. He's hiding something.

Donna.

Hey, girl.

Hey, I got the proofs back that you might like to see them.

Remember the other day when you said you admire Ryan?

Mitch, man, he's the one who has the great life. I mean, just nonstop, one

thing after another.

It would be great to do a photo essay on him.

Yeah, like a day and a night in the life of Mitch Buchanan. What do you think?

You better ask him first.

Donna, no, no, no. What you do is you take the pictures first, okay? And then

I'll show them. If he doesn't like them, I'll toss them.

Hey, don't you want to see your proofs?

Oh, I'm sure they're great, but I've seen my hand.

Yeah? Well, the client is going to love them.

That's the one at third. Okay, Billy, you're down.

Yeah.

Well, I think I got what you're looking for.

But that's about half the guys on the beach here.

I need visitors.

Will this guy be new, you know, maybe less than a week?

Pretty visible.

And athletic?

Yeah.

Well, there's a guy who's been around the last couple of days. He fits.

Then there's a guy around Johnny's, a pool hustler.

No, no, no. More physical.

And there's a lot of new muscle heads around, but hell, even I can't

clock all of them.

Wait.

What about racquetball?

What? Easton? Mm -hmm. Very aggressive.

Runs off a lot at the moment.

Walk me over?

Yeah.

Yes.

George in the fifth?

Okay.

This horse won't even get out of the gate. Never get out of the gate.

Get rid of that damn thing. He's a cop.

Where's the warrant?

Oh, no warrant. I'm not on the force anymore.

Haven't you heard?

Then hike on out of here.

You're not a cop, but I don't have to deal with you.

Well, I'm not a cop, but you do have to deal.

Wrong. The rules don't apply.

You got no juice.

So there's nothing to trade.

I gotta be honest with you, when I was on the force, boy, I hated guys like

I mean, you know, everything you sell here.

Stole?

Hey, you heard him. No warrant, no way you're getting in there.

Stolen from some poor soul who was probably terrorized, maybe even beaten.

When the thieves sold it to you, boy, you didn't care about any of us.

Now, I'm looking for a new face in town.

Showing lots of cash.

Only buys. Wait a minute.

We can't get away with him.

Top of the line.

What else you got in this nice little joint, huh?

He'd be looking for a big screen, a box, fine furs.

Oh.

Oh, but he sure would be interested in a hot new set of wheels.

Wait.

Maybe.

Maybe I know a guy who fits.

You're crazy.

You know that?

Well, that was quick.

Got something?

I went through his profile.

Now, either the profile is incorrect or you didn't give us enough information.

Thurman's not here on some vague hot night in the city. He's too specific.

If you don't tell us what's going on, we can't help you.

Can't do that.

Why not?

Hasn't he took an oath?

You took an oath. What are you, a priest now?

No, but there are lives that depend on my keeping that oath.

You coming to us to find this guy is personal, isn't it?

When I went through his file, I noticed there was a wife and child.

After the arraignment, there's no mention of them.

There's no address, no nothing.

Does him being here have anything to do with that wife and child?

Yeah.

So she didn't testify against him, but she blew the whistle, testified before

the grand jury.

And now she's in some variation of the witness protection program, but somehow

he found out where she is, which I can understand how that happens because

people are so careful unless somebody goofed.

Ned, did you goof?

Yeah. We goofed.

And now he knows where she is, and he wants to kill her.

He'll take his daughter.

Well, we need to go tell Mitch before he gets in over his head.

There's the guy there in the purple shirt.

Nope. Been here about a week. Maybe longer.

But a real cool animal.

He gets on nobody. Get him off.

Announce me.

Next victim.

Hey, my man will play.

All right, send him in here.

Let him take his whipping like a man.

Kick his butt.

Hey, Eddie, you mind if I borrow your racket for a few minutes? No problem.

Thanks. Mitch, have a look.

Well, it might not be much competition for you.

That's all right. What the hell?

Nothing but something to do, right?

Thanks, Mitch.

I'll let you serve.

That's illegal.

Hey, come on. What are you, a ref?

You want to call a hinder?

Nah.

Play on.

Just so we both know the rules.

I should have some money on this.

Not now, not now. I got something going here.

Game point.

Let's go again, right now.

Hey, you want some action on this?

I'll cover whatever it is you want. Come on, let's go. I gotta get going.

Hey, nice rock. Nice work.

Thanks.

Gizmos.

Heard about this place, huh?

It's pretty hot. Let's get some talk on the street.

Yeah, that's too bad.

It's cool for a while, but then a few clerks find out about it, and you gotta

move on. You know what I mean?

I'll be able to check it out.

Yeah, maybe I'll see you there.

Anything's possible.

Looks like you made a new friend, huh? Thanks.

That was an English guy I checked out, huh? Where he drives, where he goes,

where he does anything you can get, huh?

Done. All right.

Stay in the jail, will you?

Yeah?

Ah, Mastery, where the hell have you been?

You owe me money.

Oh, get a little level. Hey,

boss.

Good, good, good.

That guy's been taking my pictures.

Find out why.

Let's go.

Don't let him get away.

Go, go, go.

Get out of the way! Get out of the way!

Hey,

what is wrong with you?

What is wrong with you, you stupid idiot?

What is wrong with you?

How do you let him out of your sight, you stupid idiot?

You're a stupid idiot.

I've got a line on a couple of guys, but... Mine's a definite maybe.

Yeah, stronger than a maybe. A couple of his guys just tried to rough me up.

Why? Because I took his picture. Why would you do that?

Why? Because I thought you guys might want them.

Ned, about Thurman's wife and daughter, can he get to them?

Well, I'm making arrangements to have them moved.

Of course, you realize this is just going to buy some time. I mean,

if he spends the money, he'll find them. Mitch, how sure are you about this guy

you met?

I'd like Ryan to check him out.

I told him I'd be at this dance club tonight, and, uh, well, to make sure I

his attention, I asked Donna to come along, too.

Okay.

Garner, meanwhile, why don't you and I go check out your guy, and then, uh,

we'll meet you later.

Done.

This is the name and address I got from my fence.

He's new, spending a lot of cash, no visible source of income.

Well, he's got good taste. I give him that, and that does fit the profile.

Oh.

You're the federal officer.

How would you handle this?

Well, usually when we get a suspect, we get a phone tap, credit check, build a

file. No time for that.

Mitch is waiting.

We've got to nominate this guy, take him off the ballot.

Okay. What would a local cop do?

Either get inside or get him outside.

Break in?

Oh, man, I don't know about that.

We could mess up his fancy car.

Well, that would get him outside, but what if he's not our guy? Pretty neat

thing to do.

Wait a minute, what's that?

Maybe it's the housekeeper.

Oh, that's not our guy. Buying love doesn't fit.

Oh, my God. Check out all the porn.

Oh, come on. Let's get out of here.

Mike, did I get you another drink?

Thank you. Thank you. Well, don't be obvious, but he's frankly over your

shoulder.

Well, I can see why you were in a hurry this afternoon.

Ladies?

Ladies.

You two are beautiful enough to die for, I have to tell you.

You know, I could swear that you and I had met somewhere.

I don't think so.

And I usually remember when I'm interested.

Welcome to Gizmos!

We're here to dance, dance, dance!

Party, party, party!

Is everybody ready for a good time? Let me hear yeah!

Yeah! All right.

How about you?

Care to dance?

Much?

Can I?

Maybe.

Okay.

Let's give him something to talk about.

Is he watching her?

Who wouldn't be?

Well, thanks. Why don't you rub it in?

This is the house.

Okay, let's go.

Okay, I'll try.

Fabulous. So what do you think? Does he fit?

Like a glove.

All right, when Donna's finished dancing, you two call in the cowboy.

Wait, don't you want us to be here when all the action starts?

That's right, I don't.

Right, because you're afraid we're going to get hurt?

Yes, I am.

Well, do you want to dance?

No, I don't.

FBI ma 'am, Ned Judge sent us.

You have to change locations. I know it's sudden, but it's for your own

Okay.

Not a word. Not a word. Shut up.

Did you, uh... I had no idea.

Wonderful.

Give me something.

So where's your guy?

Right over... He's gone.

Call the wife.

Right now. You gotta find... I'll look on this side.

I'll check the co -room.

All right, I'll get the balcony.

Come on, pick up.

No luck.

No answer, Mitch.

You got her. I got to call this in. No, not yet.

Why not?

Well, by the time they get there asking you what went wrong, this guy will be

out of the country.

What's the fastest, most secure way out of here?

Private jets.

Let me see your phone. Let me make some calls.

Private jets, international registry. Let's find out who's about to take off.

There are four planes leaving. One Santa Monica, one Burbank, two LAX.

All right, I got Santa Monica. What's the LAX? I'm Burbank.

We'll find some calls in, huh?

Hey, Garner. We've been looking all night. Still no luck. What about you?

No luck here either. I just checked Burbank. Thurman's not there.

All right. We're still at LAX. Ned's checking the rosters. Have you heard

Mitch? Nothing. I called. No answer.

Okay. Why don't you head that way just in case?

Right. I'm on my way.

All right. Bye.

Come

on.

Let's go.

Let's go.

Huh?

Well,

there's nothing to be scared of, sweetheart.

No, honey, Daddy's got you.

This is gonna be fun.

Daddy loves you, baby.

You're okay, right?

Huh?

Where's that pilot?

Should be here. Oh, I'm paying the guy a lot of money to be on time. Find him!

Okay, let's go.

Yeah. Oh,

you see that big, beautiful airplane? We're going to take a little trip on

to your brand new home.

What do you think of that, sweetheart?

Here.

Come on. Let's go. Right on in here.

Here we go.

There you go. Right on in there.

Okay. Get it.

What are you doing?

There's his car.

All right, you stay in the car.

What? And just wait? Get on the phone, call Ryan and tell her we found him, but

just stay in the car.

All right.

Hey, it's me.

Yeah, we found him.

We're at Santa Monica Hangar 8.

Great, we're on our way.

They found him. Great, where?

Santa Monica Airport, Hangar 8.

I thought I told you to stay in the car.

Yeah, I know, but Ryan told me... Hey, hey, hey.

Thanks.

Hey, thank you guys for including us. You know, you didn't have to.

Yeah, but that doesn't mean we won't accept it.

Donna, you may not need money, but I do.

Do you know the potential is $20 million?

I mean, $20 million?

Well, that depends on what we recover.

Okay, so it's chance.

So it's fine. I'm going to get in top.

Great idea.

Hey, guys. Hey, who's in?

Get the check. Lay it on us?

Yes. Do you want to do the honors?

Absolutely.

$458? And 97 cents.

$458? And 97 cents. Look, that's 20 % of what we've recovered. Everything else

is either missing or too deep to ever find.

What is $458 divided by 5?

Ryan? $91 .60.

$91 .60.

Hmm, not bad.

First money I've made is a private eye.

Hey.

Hey.

In the blink of an eye, the devil is watching as we fly into

the night.

In the night, you can hear the sirens call

as another angel...
