Original subtitles

Aren't you a little grown up to be a Cub Scout?

I'll have you know it's never too late to fall in the ways of Akilah, huh?

Get that.

Okay, now one of the downsides of hanging with Bobby Hopps is that you

develop a sense of paranoia.

On the other hand, like Henry Kissinger said,

Even paranoid people have enemies.

Hey.

Kate.

Kate, what's going on?

I saw you coming out of your apartment. I had to make sure no one was watching.

I thought you were in London.

I was, I was, but I ran.

You have to help me.

Okay, I will.

What's up?

What happened? They're gone. Who? All of them. They've disappeared.

I'm afraid I'm going to be next.

You've got to help me.

There once was a story about a man who could turn invisible.

I thought it was only a story.

Until it happened to me.

Okay, so here's how it works. There's a stuff called quicksilver that can bend

light. Some scientist made it into a synthetic gland, and that's where I came

in.

See, I was facing life in prison and they were looking for a human

So, we made a deal.

They put the gland in my brain, I walk free.

The operation was a success, but that's where everything started to go wrong.

Ms. Easton, I thought we made things perfectly clear the last time we spoke.

No more quantum computers.

It's an internet computer, okay?

Well, the point is, this internet computer is just as dangerous. It puts

much power in too few hands.

And by her coming here, she places not only you, but this entire agency in

jeopardy. And the worst part of this whole thing is that you can't figure out

how any of this is going to benefit the agency, right?

You got that right.

I'm sorry.

Hang on a second. Okay, look.

Look, somebody is after her, okay?

Two of her co -workers are missing. I'm thinking probably kidnapped. And then

another one went into hiding. See what I'm saying here?

So what are we supposed to do?

What do you mean, what are we supposed to do? We're supposed to put her in a

safe house. Safe house? What safe house?

You're in the spy business. You don't have a safe house? Come on.

It was either a safe house or the electric bill.

You want a safe house? I do.

I'm sure it should be very safe in your house.

No, I don't want to put you through that, Darren.

Okay, fine, fine. How about a couple of guys to keep an eye on her, huh? That's

the least you can do, right?

Oh, no.

No. I can do much, much less.

But I'll see about dispatching a couple of men, okay?

When all this happened, you were the only person I could think of that would

help.

That's what friends are for, right?

I was so scared on the flight over. I mean, I was just... scrunched down on my

feet in a fetal position.

Always good for hiding?

Could use some strengthening, actually.

Good. Knock yourself out.

Uh, you know, the first thing that we gotta do is find your partner that

disappeared, right?

Yeah. Hidorama?

What is that?

Oh, it's an internet code name. For security reasons.

We don't even know each other's real names.

You know, the last time I saw Kate, she was a genius in distress.

He emailed me a few days ago.

Said his two other members of the team had disappeared.

I couldn't reach him, so I just, I ran.

Well, we kissed, and I almost... Do you need some help?

No. Went invisible?

No, I'm good. Why don't you just get those kinks out?

I can't tell you how glad I was to see you again. I mean, I know... Hey, but

know what? That was months ago, so I figured... Nothing's changed.

What was that?

When I'm with you, I just... I feel safer, you know?

Oh, crap.

Wine?

There's some wine over there. Could you pour us a couple of glasses, please?

Sure.

Oh, crap.

You okay back there?

Yeah, everything's fine.

Where'd you go?

Are you cold?

Yeah, I am. It's drafty in here.

There's another reason it's good I'm here.

What is that?

Well, there's something I've been wanting to tell you, and it's not the

thing I could say over the phone. Kate, let me tell you something, okay?

I'm like a fireman, okay? On call 24 -7, whatever you need. I just want to be

there for you. Do you know what I'm saying?

I appreciate that, Darian. I really do.

It's really good to see you, Kate.

That's sort of what I wanted to talk to you about.

I'm thinking maybe we should talk a little later.

I'm engaged.

Engaged?

That's great, Kate.

I... I hope that doesn't change anything.

No, of course not. I mean, that is fantastic. Hey, here you go.

To Kate and her future husband.

No,

no, absolutely not. Wait a minute, so what? You're saying we don't do

favors for each other around here, huh? Not without authorization.

But I need verification before I can go back to the officials. Yeah, and I need

the officials okay before I can do anything.

Bobby?

Well, what are you doing here?

It's the only place in the whole building to grab a nap.

Tried to get the chief to pop for a couch, and he's like, where are we going

put a couch? Not going to fit in my office. I said, you get a couch, I'll

some room in my office.

Hey, excuse me, Hobbs. That was interesting. Look, could you tell Claire

the scientist search?

What scientist search?

You know, the scientist search that I was telling you about yesterday?

What are you talking about?

The scientist search.

Remember, we got some coffee and...

The scientists are... Why don't you say it?

Yeah, that one. We did this thing yesterday.

We were searching for a scientist.

Really? Boy, you suck at this.

Actually, I'm a grandmaster at it if I had a slight bit of advance notice

Look, do you guys remember Katie?

She's in trouble.

Again?

Hey, you guys having any luck?

Well, I think you've got something to show the officials.

Yeah? What do you got here? You got chemistry, astronomy, climatology. I'm

sorry, I thought we were looking for missing computer scientists.

Your computer geeks aren't the only lab coats that are MIA.

Yep, over the past few months, 16 high -ranked scientists have gone missing.

18 if you count Kate's two missing co -workers.

All right, so what's the connection?

Well, I... I don't know the connection exactly, but there's way too many

coincidences here for there not to be one, right?

Choice of victim, obviously.

Time of disappearance.

No ransom. No witnesses. No prints.

All the same M .O.

It looks like these people who are after Kate and her co -workers aren't really

after the Internet computer.

They're after them. Right.

Gets better.

Show them.

This has taken up one of the kidnappings.

It's a lab security guard.

Guy's lungs were flooded.

Drowned to death on a concrete floor. Sound familiar?

Yeah, yeah, it did, actually.

Last time I met this chick, we kissed and I almost died.

Your country has enemies you don't even know exist.

Never did catch her name.

Ah, crap.

What sentiments exactly?

Yeah, this is Fox.

Marion, the guards aren't down there.

Well, one of the radiator hoses must have broken because there's a big pool

water all around the car.

All right, Kate, listen.

Just lock the door, okay? Don't open it, all right?

Fox, where's he going?

Fox!

There are two of them. Who's your enemy?

Hey, Hobbs, come on.

No, would you come on, please?

Let go

of me!

Please!

Syrian, help me!

I hate it when I'm right.

Back away!

I don't take any orders from you.

Long answer, mermaid.

Just let her go, all right?

If I inject any more, her heart stops permanently.

Back up.

Back up!

Any heroics?

The body count goes to three.

I say she's bluffing.

Try me.

Tony, she's bluffing. I've seen bluffers, my friend, and she's not

Wait a minute. We haven't even asked for anything yet. I don't know what you

want. Personal information about one of our Internet subscribers.

Right? The answer's no.

Listen, we have to be... Let me guess.

Federal agents? That's right. How did you know? This is a matter... A matter

national security. And golly gee, you just didn't have time to get a court

order. Right. That's exactly right. We were gonna. The place was closed.

Well, why didn't you say so?

National security?

Yes.

What do you boys want to know?

You're being sarcastic, aren't you? You're a little sarcastic. You're good.

I've got a little attitude there.

Really? Yes.

Oh. You can have an attitude, and I'm going to talk to your superior.

Fine. He's right over there.

Thank you.

Yeah, bye -bye. You're welcome.

This is great. We don't find Hitter Ram, we don't find Kate, and by the way,

that is about the stupidest code name I've ever heard.

I think it's time for your, uh, your thing. What? Do your thing.

Just do it.

Wait a minute.

Maybe not your shit. I've got an idea.

Why didn't you say you were from the Department of Fish and Game to begin

Actually, it's never worked.

You people deserve a lot more respect.

Thank you.

That's very nice of you to say that. It's true. Well, I agree. I mean, it's

that you show your appreciation, and I was just thinking... Do you like

Don't push it.

Just a small attempt to show my... Here it is.

Hitorama. Real name, Hito Yoshika.

So it's true that he's a computer programmer.

Well, that's just a cover. Right, I mean, you know, what's a guy going to

Just, you know, will meet smugglers as occupation?

I mean... No, I guess not.

Is there an address or something?

Um, no.

But I can pull up the last phone number he dialed in from. Can you do that? That

would be perfect.

That would be good.

Is that it, Ray? Yeah.

We're going slow because these guys could be coming out of any one of these

windows. Folks, folks, you want to get us killed? What? I'm just going to

The last time I almost turned into Swiss cheese, remember? Oh, you mean that

witness protection guy? That's right. I need protection from him. Okay, what do

you want me to do? What do you want me to do? You want me to send him like a

singing psychic telegram or what? The guy's on a lam. It means he's scared,

which makes him dangerous.

But we are the light.

We're the light. We represent authority, which means safety. We can heal his

psychic wounds.

But first we have to display ourselves with a proper presentation of authority.

You understand?

You don't just go in and knock.

You go slowly. You have to negotiate. Please stop, okay? Just stop, okay?

Look, the guy's freaked out. I started to ring the federal agents. He's going

get wigged even more. Would you just stop, please?

Yeah, Mr. Yoshika.

Folks. Mr. Yoshika?

Hello? You're being stupid.

I say nothing.

Retreat! We're federal agents?

Hey, is it possible that he didn't hear me say that we were federal agents?

I can tell. Me neither. It seems a little vague to me. We're federal

Right! And I'm Britney Spears!

Yeah, you shoot like a two!

You know what I'm thinking? What? I'm thinking maybe we ought to hang out

here. Right here?

That's what I'm saying. What are you, nuts?

Why? If we could find this guy, so could the bad guys. That's what I'm saying.

We'll wait for the blowfish to show up, grab your pal Britney, and boom, she

takes us right to the missing scientist.

You want to use this guy's bait? This is what I'm saying. That's very devious of

you, man. I thought so. I'm very impressed.

No, you shouldn't be.

You keep this up, I'm going to start getting paranoid about you. You don't

to worry about that. You know I'm your protege.

That's right.

Don't you forget it.

You ready?

Probably.

So which one's Britney Spears?

She's that one that's married to Matt.

Damon? No.

Dylan? No. No.

Matt, you know.

Oh.

Come on.

LeBlanc?

Who's he married to?

I think he's married to Lisa Cujo.

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.

I think it's got you.

That's not good

So

false with all the excitement I didn't get a chance to ask you about you

Yeah, you know the cake

That's fine.

You still over?

Mm -hmm.

Yeah? Mm -hmm.

Will our little computer specialist examine your hard drive? I'm the

bird. I'm just asking. She's engaged, okay? Stuck up?

No. Stuck out, huh?

No, I did not strike out, okay? What happened?

The woman's getting married, all right? She's getting married?

Yeah. Well, that's the best time of the day. Come on.

They're about to lock themselves into one man for the rest of their life.

You know, they're in her.

Drums of passion are beating.

One last bustle of firing.

Rhythmic explosion, my friend.

We pull over in front of the bell, right there.

Capriati, maybe?

I like to watch a little television.

What's going on in there?

It doesn't matter to me as long as they keep leading the way. It matters to me,

okay? You know what your problem is? You see, you keep taking these cases too

personally. It's kind of hard when we're talking about a person. Vito's not a

person. He's a pawn.

I think even those terms would make it a lot easier to risk his life to solve

the case. We'll stand him out with science. That's right. I'm going to go

closer look, okay?

We'll use you on the juice, FID.

This weekend.

Yeah. Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, well, you know, I've been to all those clubs. Yeah.

Yeah, I've been to all those clubs.

Yeah, maybe.

We'll be right back.

Nice shot.

to give kissing a bad name.

Huh?

Time on that weather?

She wouldn't be able to lift that cup.

I'll handle this interrogation. Sir, she tried to kill me.

No, Bobby, you lack objectivity.

Notwithstanding my experience in this area.

With all due respect, sir.

I have broken people like her in nanoseconds.

Yeah, it looked to me like they were trying to freeze dry the guy. Is that

possible? Yes.

It's called cryonics. It's freezing human beings for future revival.

I mean, the process has been around for some time now, but up until now,

nobody's been able to reverse it.

So what you're saying is freezing is easy, it's the thawing that's hard, huh?

Yep, exactly.

The brain suffered a severe mechanical distortion as a result of the freezing.

Here, you do this for me.

I mean, Hito should be dead. I shouldn't have been able to revive him.

I bet you did.

Yep, right there.

These people have developed some way to counteract the deleterious effects.

So all we've got to do now is find Kate.

What?

It's not quite that simple.

I'll start off with the Alice in Wonderland technique, then switch to

-Mendelsohn sensory deprivation, and finish her off with Stemler -Rochet

debility.

Before we start, I'm totally inoculated against the Alice in Wonderland

technique, as well as the Wexler -Mendelsohn sensory deprivation. And

don't waste my time with the Stemler -Rochet debilitary.

Okay?

All yours.

I extracted this from Hito's blood.

That was in Hito's blood?

Mm -hmm.

Their organization's developed a unique glitteral compound that acts as a sort

of vascular antifreeze.

This is how I was able to revive him. Okay, fine. So we can use the same thing

on Kate, right? But, unfortunately, my tests show that this compound degrades

after 48 hours.

I mean, any attempt to thaw the victims after that is going to kill them.

Okay, so they took Kate about...

36 hours ago, so if we don't find her in the next... 12.

Yeah.

I gotta get moving.

Hey, what's going on?

Oh, just interrogating our guest.

Yeah? How's it going?

And you could use some stronger mouthwash.

Maybe that's part of my interrogation technique.

You have...

No technique, Shorty.

I had to turn it off. Too painful.

Sorry, boss. I tried to stay professional and she gets personal with

go in there. You think you can do better?

Doesn't look like I could do much worse.

Beware. She is very good.

Thanks for the encouragement.

Finally.

Thought those two fools would never leave.

How do you put up with them, Darian?

Imagine.

Telling, right?

Eleonora. Eleonora.

That's a start.

Why don't you keep going?

Okay.

Just you and me. What's up?

Kate Easton.

Tell me about her.

She's an old friend. You know, she needed a place to crash.

How bad do you want to save an old friend?

Bad? What are you offering?

My freedom in exchange for Kate Easton. Yeah, well, that ain't gonna happen,

okay? Look, I let you go. I want them all. All the scientists you kidnapped.

You're dreaming. My organization would never let me do that.

They would kill me.

The scientists are more important to them than you know. All right, let's say

bust you out. How can I trust that you're going to take me to Kate?

If I take you to Kate, how can I trust that you would not read the others?

I don't know. It looks to me like you don't really have much of a choice now,

you?

I guess neither one of us does.

So what do you think?

Think we have a deal?

You're reconsidered.

Yeah, you know, somebody said opinions are made to be changed. How else can you

get at the truth?

Can you handle it?

You're the death.

Either one.

Hey, by the way, how long is he going to be in it?

Long enough.

Oh, crap.

How do you think you're doing?

Back away, folks.

Come on, back away. Nobody gets hurt.

All right, let's go.

Hey. Hey.

Ow! The hell do you think you're doing, huh?

You didn't have to actually shoot at him. I'm just trying to make the

look as real as possible.

Well, the two of you better do a real good job repairing the holes in those

walls. We'll repair them. Don't worry about it. Yeah.

I know a guy.

Are you telling me it's not like this today?

No.

Not like this.

I'm just wondering what it's like.

Not this bad?

No.

No, sir.

That was amazing.

I showed you mine.

No, I don't have my extras.

Kind of following you. Did you ever hear of epidermoid carcinoma?

No. Well, neither did I until a doctor told me I had it in my lungs and I'd be

dead by Christmas.

Can you believe it? I never even smoked.

So is that when they made you an offer you couldn't refuse? Is that what it

And I didn't find out till later that there were strings attached.

So I guess you had a death sentence and I had a life sentence.

Either way, I guess we had no choice.

How we doing?

Signal's strong.

Good.

Now all we gotta do is follow the rat to the cheese.

I think you've got three samples. I'm dying for a snow cone right now.

They're out of business. It's a library now.

That's funny. All the libraries I used to hang out always had line stations out

in front.

I was told the idea started back in the dark. A group of monks at the Catholic

church started hoarding books, hiding them in secret libraries all over the

world. Well, maybe I'm wrong, but wasn't the original concept to actually put

books where people could read them?

They weren't collecting them. They were trying to save them.

Oh, really? What?

Or a swap meet, rummage sale, that type of thing.

Oh, the church knew how screwed up everything was getting.

We were trying to preserve the entire body of knowledge.

Save it just in case there was some kind of catastrophe and we were all wiped

out.

Really? Well, like a plague, nuclear disaster, species annihilation, that

of thing?

Exactly.

My organization is just repeating what the churches did way back then.

Don't tell me you're starting a book club.

Not quite.

Saving books is useless without the minds that created them.

Hey, excuse me. Hold on there, sister. This is exactly... What is this, you

know, catastrophe that you're expecting, huh?

They hadn't chosen to tell me.

Ah, here she is.

Looks like we got here just in time.

Yep.

Just in time.

Good

luck.

Thank you.

Sit tight.

Yep.

You love my job.

Here you are, risking your career for one person. Yeah, is that, um... That's

what he's saying, that... What, there's nobody, you know, that... You'd ever do

that for? Nope.

No one to do it for you?

I guess not.

Look, would you please hurry up here? Let's go, come on. No, don't worry about

it. These cryocomputers are state -of -the -art.

Top -flight equipment.

Unlike your agency.

What is that supposed to mean, huh?

The GPS tracking.

GP what? I don't even know what you're talking about. You know, there's a

why that office stuff stuff is cheap.

Those commercial GPS products, you know, they always get jammed.

You lied to me.

Yeah.

Life's a bitch, ain't it?

Mm -hmm.

And then you die.

I think I seem to remember you saying something about not wanting to see me

dead. Do you remember that?

I don't.

I'm just going to freeze you for safekeeping. You're going to freeze me?

We'd like to take a look under your hood, you know, take you apart.

See how you tick.

I don't know if you know this, but the Surgeon General has recently declared

that taking me apart would be hazardous to my health. Did you get the memo?

Would you let go of me, please?

Well, good news is, next to Spider -Man, that Harry Houdini was kind of a

childhood idol of mine.

That freaking guy.

Man, he could escape from anything.

Straight jackets, milk cans.

Yeah, and of course, the famous water torture cell.

The bad news is, Houdini nearly died.

First time you put ice in his act.

What a smart bastard.

Go check Fox's cryopod.

No,

no, no, stop!

I can rupture her lungs before you're half free to me.

Look, she...

She's no use to you guys if she's dead.

Doesn't do us much good if she's set free, either.

Well, then it looks to me like you're looking at a lose -lose, you know? I'd

her go.

Hey.

You owe me.

I suppose I do.

You better take her to the hospital. Her temperature's below 70.

Oh.

Thank you.

We're even now.

Remember that next time we see each other.

Dr. Sussman to the OR post office.

Dr. Sussman, the OR post office.

Yeah? Yeah.

Fox, where the hell are you? What's going on?

Look, they need to retract me. Somehow they messed with the signal.

Did you find the popsicles?

Yeah, I did.

Look sharp. They know we're coming.

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

Ready?

Get

over

here.

Stay over here.

Do you think we got the wrong place again?

No, we got the right place.

Just a little too late.

Oh, wait. Whoa, whoa.

Easy now. Come on.

Uh, you're in the hospital.

You're gonna be okay.

And Hedorama?

Yeah, we found them.

Safe and sound.

What about the others?

No.

Look, we're not giving up, okay?

We're gonna find them.

I mean, obviously whoever did this is still out there.

That's supposed to reassure me.

It's the best we can do right now.

Okay, the agency is suggesting that we go ahead and...

I arranged for new identities for you and your fiancée.

I really do. I want to wish you guys the best of luck. You know that, right?

Thank you.

Sure.

It's okay.

It's okay.

She was a very lucky girl.

Yeah.

Wish we found the others.

Oh, look, even if we had, we'd never been able to thaw them.

Much less care for them.

Yeah.

I suppose.

Bad choice either way, you know.

You know, this, uh, catastrophe that Darian's talking about, do you have any

idea what that is?

I do not.

And that's the scariest part.

Hmm.
