Original subtitles

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 this stuff called quick films that can

bend light.

Some scientists 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 walked free.

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

Greek mythology says that whom the gods would destroy, they first make mad.

Now, you see, I was never sure whether mad meant crazy or angry.

Oh, well. Either way, the gods were working pretty good on me right now.

Okay.

What's the problem?

She says I got one.

Springs, go on from your step.

Twinkle's gone from your eye. You've lost five pounds. Your blood pressure's

You've got dark circles under your eyes and, well, your hair.

All in all, I'd say you're depressed.

Personally, I think I'm entitled.

I mean, for a year now, I've only wanted two things, you know, or knowing a

coffin in this gland out of my head.

As of today, I am no closer to one than the other.

Well, I thought you'd come to accept working here.

Guess you accept what you can't change, right?

That's present here.

Well, sure as hell doesn't make me feel like I won the Powerball.

Chief wants to see us right away. Not happy.

People!

We are in trouble.

As of the last report from the General Accounting Office...

This agency has been refused any further funding for the rest of this fiscal

year. Nice alliteration, sir. Shut up, Ebert. Stand over there. I'm sick of

hovering. Hovering, sir? Yes, you followed me around as if you were

the small change to fall out of my pocket. Stand over there.

All right, people.

Listen up.

As of this moment, the following cost -cutting measures are in effect.

Everyone will bring towels from home for use in the bathroom.

Coffee grounds will be recycled. And under no circumstances is the air

conditioning or the heating to be run.

We are going to rip the throat out of this money drain.

Any questions?

Yes.

Those guys never had to wear suits.

Excuse me, sir.

I mean this with all proper respect, but I don't see how my salary is large

enough to be... It's detrimental to this department. Hey, why don't you speak

for yourself, pal? Hey, me? I just ordered my very own Yugo. I must take

with your characterization of my fidelity. It's true, sir. We've all done

best. Well, put a limb on it, for Pete's sake.

That little straight up there was for the foot soldiers.

Wait a minute, so what are you saying? That there's no money crisis?

Oh, yeah, there is. But I found a solution.

I just can't let anybody else know about it.

Oh.

So we're sort of your inner circle, is that what it is? Sort of your trusted

cadre, as it were? It's cadre.

Bobby, if you want validation...

There's a parking stamp in the lobby.

Ouch.

Has it ever occurred to any of you how Arnaud Dufour gets his money?

He's a terrorist. Deals with terrorism.

Yeah, but where does he get the funds to deal?

Turning in frequent flyer miles, maybe?

He owns a casino.

Where, in Las Vegas?

In Las Cruces.

Las Cruces?

Mexico. What's he doing in Mexico? Making a fortune every night, from which

are going to fund all of next year's operation, and in the process...

Major damage to our know.

I like the sound of that last one.

I thought you might. So folks is going to go in and fill up the shopping carts,

sort of like the supermarket sweepstakes kind of thing? No, Bobby. That's why

I'm in charge and you're not.

What you're suggesting would constitute larceny. That's right.

So we are going to go in and we are going to break the bank.

Okay, what exactly do you have up your sneaky little sleeve, sir?

I have the feeling it may be what we used to call a...

The old I -man shuffle. The old I -man shuffle. The old I -man shuffle. You

never cease to surprise me, Fox.

Why? Because I thought of ripping off a casino? Please.

I'm the invisible man, for God's sake. Like, I've never had that fantasy

Okay, smart guy. So how come in all this time you haven't done it? Because,

Brainiac, if I'm behind the table changing the dice, there's no one out

do the betting.

Well, my boy, there is now.

I do have a few things up my sleeve.

The official decided he wanted me to stay away from the rest of them.

Arouse less suspicion, is how he put it.

So, VIP meant the red carpet treatment for them and very inconsequential person

for me.

Let's talk about fantasies. Oh, thank you very much.

Hello, Darian.

Oh.

Are you going to tell how great she looks?

You look great.

Thanks.

What's up with him?

Well, he's just upset because he doesn't have a fancy room.

Oh, come on, Darian.

Look, you're the one who makes this whole operation possible.

Besides, you're forgetting the purpose of admission. This is going to hurt

Arnaud terribly.

Hey, hurt ain't going to do it.

See, dead.

That's what I'm looking for.

Boy, you're just going to have to settle for hurt, my friend.

The gaming table's away, darling.

Cheers. To you.

A little drink?

You need to stay sharp.

Shall we?

This way, darling.

Thank you.

Miss you, folks.

Care to join us?

Come on.

I'll let you jump in the hot tub when we're done.

Just remember to tap us on the shoulder when you get to our table, okay? Come

on.

Fox, where's your manners?

After you.

Go get him, kid.

My pleasure.

I think I'll try Mr.

Evil this time.

May I get you a drink, sir?

Yes, I would like a vodka martini shaken, not stirred with a lime.

Two olives, please. Thank you.

The name is Howes.

Bobby Howes.

I've got to try Mr. Evening again.

Hey, boss.

It's showtime.

Time to play for some real money.

I just felt Lady Luck tap me on the shoulder.

Here we go.

Oh,

sorry. No more bed.

Hard 10. Puppy paws in the field. Here we go.

Dude, how the hell are you already?

You're waiting for someone?

Yeah. Yeah, I'm late.

Too bad.

Oh, no.

No, no, I'm not.

It's not like that. No, it's just a guy.

Oh. Yeah.

Oh.

No. No, not a guy. You thought like a guy with a guy. No.

No.

Whatever. Yeah.

You know what I mean?

Thank you.

Thank you.

Can I trust you to watch these with me?

Sure. Thanks.

I'm in the danger zone.

All right. Hold your voice down. Get your legs out of it.

I am having the most marvelous time.

Gee, that makes it all worthwhile.

Oh, come on. Keep your eyes on the prize.

Think about the damage you're causing our nose.

I know, I know. It's just, it's no fun if I can't see his pain. Yeah, I know.

But you're also allowing us to stay operational.

You know how I feel. I feel like a eunuch in a hair room.

There's a reason they were made into eunuchs.

Paris Squares, Donny and Marie, here we go.

All right, little buddy, it's your turn. It's about the end of time you got

here. I can't believe it, but you're all night.

I bet you're about to see his true officer.

Here we go.

Here we go.

Stay lucky, shoot a high hand. Jump on, folks. Drive a coattail.

That's some fun. Come on, 61.

Santa Claus.

Come on, Fox, lighten up a little bit.

Fox, you did the agency a great service tonight.

You know, we do accept gratuities. One, two hundred, thousand, whatever you got.

One of your best attributes is your unfailing sense of humor.

See you all tomorrow.

Bye, Chief.

We're going to go back and finish the job.

Foxy.

What do you say me and you grab a couple of beans, go downstairs, click real, no

cheating? See if we're really lucky, all right?

No, thanks.

I'm going to turn in.

All right? I'll see you guys tomorrow.

Darian, you really were wonderful.

Sleep tight, folks.

Don't let the bedbugs bite.

Okay, you know that speech in Hamlet where the guy says, neither a borrower

a lender be until they don't self be true?

Yeah, well, see, I wasn't a borrower or a lender.

I was a thief.

And I hadn't been through to myself in a long, long time.

You know that story about the goose that laid the golden eggs?

Yeah, well, I just found her.

And I was going to squeeze her until she was all egged out.

Eighty, ninety, and one hundred thousand.

Eso es todo.

Vámonos.

You ready to administer the coup de grace?

Absolutely.

Bobby, you told Fox to meet us in the casino, right?

Absolutely.

What happened? We had a robbery last night.

Somebody made off with around five mil.

We'll shut down until the accountants can do an audit.

Yeah, I'm sorry.

Folks.

Boy, I'm sorry, sir. I don't know what you're talking about.

It's clueless. I don't know what bothers me more, you ripping off the counting

room or you thinking I'm stupid enough to believe you didn't do it. I would

think definitely the latter, sir. I didn't ask you. Sorry, sir. I was just

offering a professional, Curtis. Let's dispense with the denials, all right?

The money belongs to us.

Well, actually...

Technically, sir, the money belongs to our no. I mean, that is who we stole it

from, right?

We? Yes, we.

We? You know, gambling or otherwise, the money was stolen. But we took it for a

good cause.

Sir, you do not want to be arguing the fine points of burglary with me.

He's got a point, sir. He does have a professional degree in burglary. All

right, all right, all right. Let's set this issue aside.

I'm not talking about the pittance we took away from the tables last night.

I have a question about that. Just how much of a pittance was it?

Like a mil.

Mil? Not bad. Yeah. Closer to a million and a half, actually. Really? I was in

the zone, mil.

Bobby Haas raking it in, my friend.

He ain't more than that. He did a little... Pops!

I'm talking about the five million I was taking out of the counting room. What

about the five mil? Wait a minute. Five million dollars was taken out of the

counting room? That's right. Do you have any idea how much good this agency

could do with that money?

Really? Yeah, like... Like what? Feeding orphans, housing the homeless, that

sort of thing?

Is that what you mean, sir? Actually, we had a benefit last year. Really? Yeah,

a fishing game. I had this big benefit. Fox, I want you to stop playing games.

Okay. Well, I just want to get this straight. So you're saying that it's

for me to play games when it makes you money, just not anybody else's. Is that

what you mean?

So you refuse to admit it?

Uh -huh. Uh -huh.

Be aware that your actions will not go unpunished.

I'm scared.

What are you gonna do, huh?

You gonna fire me?

Throw me in jail, huh?

Guess what?

I've been there.

And frankly, at this point, I miss it.

Yep, this is Fox.

Nicely done.

Are now.

The very same.

What are you talking about?

Stealing from the few, give to the many.

How proletariat.

Why did you call to discuss free world economics? Is that it?

Not really. I have a proposal to make.

Well, guess what? I'm not interested, all right?

You give me back the money, and I give you the recipe for counteragent.

Well?

You've rekindled my disinterest.

I don't believe that.

Please.

We hook up next thing, I know you're going to be digging for the buried

in the back of my head, right?

I don't need the glands anymore.

I give you my word that you won't be harmed. Just come to the warehouse at

and Grove.

Excuse me if I'm just a genius bit cynical about your word, all right? That

money is vital to me, Fox.

Think about it. You'll finally be free of that agency once and for all.

Well, you know what?

I must not be making myself clear. Let me see if I can rephrase this for you.

Go screw yourself.

I totally agree.

Bye.

Hey. Hi.

Fill her up time. Yeah? Well, we have to talk.

Absolutely. Shoot, why don't you go ahead and talk while I get my shot here.

Well, no, because there's not going to be a shot.

What are you talking about? The official's confiscated all my

withholding it till you give him the money. That's not a big one. Why don't

just whip up another batch? You got some stuff over there? Takes a while.

Come on. You don't give me the shots, I don't go transparent, you know?

Stand off. You're smarter than this, Darian. The quicksilver's still in your

system. You stay visible, you've got what?

Three days.

Good boy.

So you're telling me just let me go off the deep end?

For what? To make an example of you. Oh, come on. He's not that big a schmuck.

You don't think?

You've thrown down a gauntlet. You've directly challenged his authority. He'd

rather lose you as an agent than give that up.

You're going along with this, huh?

Are you going along with it or not?

I don't think I have choice.

What? You're welcome.

One of your major shortcomings is assuming everyone is as obvious as you

Ah, that's so sweet.

Thank you for that constructive criticism.

Did you really think I'd hide the stuff in my office?

No.

No, not really, but, you know, just didn't want to underestimate how lazy

are, so I thought I'd take a chance, right?

Ah.

You know, Fox, I'm not at all comfortable with this situation.

Oh, I'm sorry. You want discomfort, why don't you try a gland in your head?

There's an easy solution to this.

Give me the money, everything goes back to normal.

Did it ever occur to you that I don't want things to go back to normal?

What good is the money if you're insane?

I don't know.

Didn't seem to bother Howard Hughes, right?

Hey, your choice.

But before you go storming out of here like you usually do, I'd suggest you

check your tattoo.

Why don't you check this?

Well, like the fella says, better the R know you know than the W don't.

What the hell's going on?

Meth lab.

Just raided it.

Hey, was there a guy around here in tall skin with sort of a funny porn accent?

Didn't see anyone like that.

You sure?

If you want to take a look, be my guest.

Thank you.

Is that him?

No, thank you.

Sir, I've been to his house, okay? I've been to every place him and me ever went

together. You'll turn up.

You say that like you had a crystal ball.

No.

We'll take care of it. Fine. Just give me a half a dozen guys, and I will have

folks back here before sundown, okay? Not you.

Did you send the gentleman in?

Yes, sir. Right away.

Are you aware that Darian is on the verge of quicksilver madness by now, if

hasn't gone into it already?

That was his choice.

No.

It was never his choice.

I think maybe it's time for you to leave now.

Oh, no.

He brought in Orion for this?

What the hell is he doing here?

What matters, Hobbs?

The first thing we say is hello.

You've been a pain in my ass since the fourth grade, you know that?

I've been great, thanks. And you?

Who am I looking for?

You need him back alive?

Let me think.

He's a good 72 hours after death.

Well, how long?

Stomach's good for about five.

Chief, Chief, just wait a second here.

We prefer alive.

But we need him back.

Sir, what are you talking about?

I guarantee Fox will come along peacefully.

Bobby, you're not going to guarantee anything. You're out of this one.

I know Fox better than anybody. That's exactly where you're not going. You care

too much. You're too close to him.

Just need somebody cold and ruthless.

And that's you.

Tattooed across my ass.

You want to check it out, Bobby?

You're out, Bobby.

Just call me if there's anything I can do to help, all right?

I don't understand what's the big deal. Oh, because I can't do what you're

asking. Well, assuming I find folks, and that's a big estimation.

Assumption. All I'm going to be able to do is offer him some counteragent,

right? Otherwise, he's going to take off again, and this Orion character's going

to... Is that Chinese?

I'm going to bring him back in a body bag.

No, we don't know that for sure. Oh, trust me on this one. He's a psychotic,

cold -blooded killer. He's going to, like, you know, enjoy it.

Oh, I just... I just... I hate this.

Why? This! This! This whole... Your agency, the gland, all of it, him.

Who? Him, the official.

I mean, I know that every agency has to have its jerk at the top, but is it

written anywhere that he has to be so bloody smug about it?

Smug. He is smug, isn't he?

He's incredibly smug. He has a smug way about him. And I wouldn't tolerate it. I

saw who spoke to you. I wouldn't tolerate that.

So you're going to do this thing I'm asking you or not?

There you go.

I mean, I'm not sure this is even enough to do any good, but... It's going to

have to be.

You know, you think you manipulated me, but you actually didn't.

Just to bring him back, thankfully.

Right? You're damn right.

I hadn't seen Arnon's brother in a long time.

Now, fortunately, he was easier to find.

Look. Wake up.

It's your foot and heels are good, huh?

Yeah.

Prison doctors are not among the best.

It's for you.

So, what do you want?

I'm trying to find her now.

I'm sure.

It's not what you think.

Look, I do not blame you.

But still...

Twisted as he is, he was my brother.

I got $5 million for him now.

He knows I got it.

So, you know, essentially, you may be doing him a favor if you just tell me

to find him.

And why would you give him an amount like this?

Because in return, he gives me the recipe for the counterage.

Oh, yes.

This would be a good trade, huh? I think so.

So what do you think? You got any idea where I could start looking for him?

No, I...

Besides, he's not come to see me in several weeks.

Okay.

Yeah, I understand.

But I do recall him mentioning something about a doctor.

Yeah? Yes, um, Dr. Rendell.

Rendell? Yes, that's him. Did he mention, you know, like a certain

like a check, something like that, maybe?

Cabrillo. Cabrillo.

Hey. Trust me, I think your brother's going to thank you for this, all right?

So, are you getting enough exercise?

Oui, yes.

It looks as though you've gained weight since I last saw you.

No, I weigh the same.

So,

when

did Fox come to see you?

How do you know this?

Because I'm smarter than you, my brother.

Now, what did you tell him?

Well, he said he was looking for you. Yes.

I was worried, because I know how much he hates you.

And you didn't tell him anything?

Well... Of course you told him something, but now you're afraid to tell

Well, tell me anyway.

We talked about the doctor you were seeing.

Well done, brother.

Well done.

Hello.

Looking for Dr. Rendell.

She's not on duty today. She?

Nice. Yes? Could you please let go of me?

Where's her office?

I'd have to look it up, sir. If you let go of my arm, I can check in the

computer. Okay.

Is there a problem?

The computers are slow. Just give me a second.

Ding.

Time's up.

Hey! Hey, what the hell do you think you're doing?

This

is

Cabrillo Hospital. We have a situation.

Rio Hospital.

Male Caucasian assaulting hospital personnel.

Proceed with caution.

Get moving.

Repeat. 644 at Rio Hospital. Male Caucasian assaulting hospital personnel.

Proceed with caution. Suspect may be on drugs.

I'm holding one shot.

Oh, Ryan.

You slimy, cold -hearted rat bastard.

This guy gets one warning. Doesn't stop, you put him down. You ready? Yeah,

let's go.

I should have taken you out years ago.

I see you, pal.

You're right there. You're all freaky, but you're right there. I'll see.

Hey, what's up, man?

Easy. Easy now.

Hey, please, will you take off the stupid -ass glasses? Somebody sees you,

those are liable to cut you off the cuckoo's nest.

I ain't taking nothing off until I can keep my eyes on you, my friend. Okay. I

guess that's where you're going.

Afraid I have to pick you in now, partner.

Well, actually you don't.

Folks, folks, I'll shoot you if I have to.

Go ahead.

Either way, I'm dead.

Okay, we searched for him.

Let's go.

Well, the good news is... I do have the five million dollars.

You come with me, I'll give you half of it.

Folks.

Folks, now listen to me. I work for the agency.

Okay. It's what I do.

It's what I know. You work for the agency.

Oh, Todd, you got five million dollars. You never work for anybody again.

We're the boss.

You know, no more overstuffed creed that's telling us what to do.

Your eyes are turning silver, Fox.

What's with your eyes?

What about them?

They're very weird right now. They're very strange. They're turning silver

now. That's the first day's madness Akiva talked about.

I gotta tell you, I never thought it existed.

I always thought she was bluffing.

All the more reason for you to come with me, folks.

No. All the more reason not to.

Robert. You know, the dreams, the fantasies, the...

We've talked about they're yours for the taking. All I want to do right now is

get you back to the agency safe and sound. You really don't get to do it,

and me, between the two of us.

The whole world's within our reach.

Money, women, freedom.

It's whatever we want, Robert.

You're out of your mind, Paul. Ah, think about it. Your entire life, people have

laughed at you.

Nobody laughed at me.

They denied you the advancement, the authority, the respect a man like you

deserves.

I just, I feel like I am about to take off on the ride of my life and they're

never going to catch me.

You just have to decide whether or not you want to come along.

It's up to you.

It's your choice.
