Tonight, on Acapulco East. Nicole, my dear, I need you to find the Raven.

Nicole, you're a spy?

They have no match for the Raven.

I need to experience help.

I won't shoot anyone. I'm not in that business, hang on.

Do you have the necklace?

I've seen this necklace before.

Right here in Puerto Vallarta. I only came for the jewel.

I don't know what to do with that.

Now tell me what you did, you fell to cops.

That wouldn't be right.

You have someone on the grounds, gentlemen. Find him.

Answer. Answer.

Answer. Answer.

Thank you very much.

Help me!

Help me!

I need a doctor!

I'm scared!

Sorry, my friend.

It's the rules of the game.

No! No!

What do you think?

I'd rather not at my age. It might prove to be fatal.

Not you, Paul.

You're too French to ever deny yourself that pleasure.

Nicole, my darling, please forget for a moment that I'm one of your oldest

friends. Right now, I'm a representative of the Minister of Culture. This is

Rudolf Serge from the Russian Embassy and Signor Perez, who represents various

South American countries.

May we speak to you in private, please?

Joanna is private.

She's like family and handles my affairs.

I don't mind leaving if you want, Nicole.

I mean, if it's none of my business, then it's none of my business.

I do mind.

Well, gentlemen.

As you wish. I needed to find a man and help recover some valuable property.

I am no longer in the international security business.

I sell clothes, not services.

This is foolishness. We should go public with the theft and face the reality of

the situation with our own security people. Do not let this woman's beauty

you to her natural abilities.

She was one of the most effective agents this government ever had.

Nicole, you're a spy.

I'm afraid right now that she is a bankrupt one.

My dear, I believe you are in debt for a total of 700 ,000 francs.

Is that correct?

Do you want me to say?

The real number would be 842 ,000 francs.

Not counting current bill.

And then there's our credit cards.

And they could melt any minute now.

Then I can help both of you. I have a business and an organization which will

help your needs and ours.

You will be paid by individual contract.

Oh, I already have a business.

And I will save you from it.

Um... Would those days cover current losses and certain expenses?

Of course.

Who decides what's fair?

I do.

Then we'll work out.

Can we get to our purpose or leave?

Nicole, my dear, I need you for a manhunt. I want you to find and recover

paintings. They are masterpieces that have been lost since World War II.

We found them before they could be returned to their country of origin.

They were stolen in a bloody raid.

And I need you to find the Revan.

These are the only photographs available on this man, but his history of crimes

throughout Europe.

His names and other false identities you will find in this file.

We believe he is European.

The Revan.

I haven't heard of him in years.

Not since the assassinations in England. Does that mean I'll be a spy also?

Neither one of us will be revived.

This is ridiculous. They are no match for the Raven.

I will expect a personal note of apology from you.

What is the business you offer? It was funded by a group of countries called

Coalition to conduct anti -terrorist covert activities.

It was disbanded, but certain of its members and equipment are on the part of

the country to which we believe the Raven is now headed.

Then it had a codename I would have known.

It was called Acapulco Hill.

This item is an emerald and diamond bracelet that's in white gold with a

weight of over nine carats.

She's a beauty.

Do you really think so, Zyker, or is she just the featured choice in a pressing

time schedule?

I think she'd hold her on anywhere.

We're not anywhere.

This jewelry show is a way of traveling around Latin America and selling off the

paintings.

It gives me an excuse for security and men with weapons.

If your actions interfere with my business arrangements in any way, you'll

I'm sure you understand that.

I never doubted that for a moment.

You'll deliver one of the items in La Paz and collect the fee.

I shall continue the cruise on to Puerto Vallarta for the next few shows.

Where do I find you?

You don't.

I'll find you.

Until then, think of your bonus and two other very important things.

What?

Celibacy and a long life.

Oh, that's great, guys.

Great.

Oh,

that's great, guys.

Okay, go make your last change. We're almost done.

My name is Nicole Bernal.

I know who you are.

I'm here to offer you the kind of work that's far better suited for you.

That's a pretty strong approach.

What is it you think I'm better suited for?

A great many things.

I am the new owner of Acapulco Heat Fashions.

I used to represent them.

They're a wonderful organization, but it's over.

I do this now.

It's a good lot. It doesn't have to be awful. I need to experience hell.

And I'm ready to make you a full partner.

Oh, I don't think so.

Acapulco Heat was a unique enterprise made up of very special people.

Friends.

But they're almost all gone now.

Not all.

And I think it's time for you and I to make new friends.

I don't even know who you are.

Why would I want to return to the fashion business with you?

Make some calls.

Start with you and Mr. Smith from the Coalition.

He's retired.

You'll take your call and answer all your questions.

I have a shoot to finish.

I've done quite a few pictures in my past profession.

You make the call, I'll finish your shoot.

If I screw up, fire me.

That's Tommy?

Yeah, that's Tommy.

If he goes for it, I will too.

He means that much to you?

Oh, everyone on heat did.

Tommy's the only one left in Puerto Vallarta.

Everyone else is gone and don't want to be found.

And I have to respect that.

So will I.

What is he doing down there?

I don't know, but I have a feeling it'll be worth waiting for.

You need some help? No, it's okay. It looks pretty even to me.

How are

you

in a fight? Well, I'm okay. Good.

Well, I guess when I move out of my truck, buy some new shoes,

bid on my beach cat.

You look awful.

I said that three days ago. You looked awful three days ago.

Well, I'm consistent.

Meet Nicole Bernard.

She is the new owner of Acapulco Heats, and she wants us back in.

To do what?

I want you to do what you did before.

Well, I'm not in that business any longer.

I want you in.

To do what?

The important jobs.

The big picture.

Heal the world.

I heard it all before.

Yeah, I believe.

They said we're important.

That we were needed.

So the first piece just got a little too tight.

And suddenly...

We didn't mean anything to anybody.

But I had a chance to look around, you know, while we were saving the world.

Where I live turned to crap.

And all the people we were fighting, we could do it.

Now, we have a great connection.

You know, I see this stuff in front of my face every day.

What do we do about that?

Okay, I'll tell you what.

I'll take that trip with you if you take mine.

Oh, it's like that phone.

It's supposed to believe you.

I spoke to Mr. Smith. He vouched for her.

If she says it, she'll do it.

Okay, well then, you join her.

I am.

I didn't come here for your permission.

I'm a part of the team, and you could be too.

I want you in there.

You tell me, what are we supposed to do when people can't afford us, right? We

sit on top of the mountain and get fat?

Do we look fat to you?

You know what I'm talking about.

Then know what I mean.

I said what we would do.

You have my word.

What else can I do?

I guess you already have.

Had a great leg there.

Thanks.

Anyway. The dealers will be back.

Yeah.

And I'll be here to give them more grief.

We'll all be back here.

Okay.

Okay, I'm in.

Shake a leg.

I think you do too.

How did you do this so quickly?

Oh, a couple of do -jiggers and a whatchamacallit and then a crossover

of those things with the prongs on it.

And they all do something or other and then, ta -da, it all works.

It was almost a no -brainer.

Joanna is an electronic and data processing genius.

She can do anything with a computer or wires and anything she can wrap a tool

around. Oh, yeah, like two jiggers and watching my calls.

Hey, can you fix a toaster?

I can make it play stereo.

She can never explain how she does it, but she can make anything work.

Is she any good in the field?

She's not trained or equipped for that, but she's an important member of a new

hit team.

No, do you always dress like that?

No, I've got better things. These are just work clothes.

Well, so are these.

We'll talk later.

Is that our target?

That and millions of dollars worth of old world art masterpieces.

Six of them.

The face is called the Raven.

He has no other labels.

I have all the data cross -checked with all the possible routes of travel and

all that stuff.

I also listed available underground markets for the art.

Sort of adds up to what we were told.

Which is, European ports were sealed off, the only escape route leads to

and then South America.

Which means the Raven is headed in our direction.

Never thought I'd... see the sign again.

It's only wood, Kat. Don't get so sentimental.

Well, it's going to look fantastic when the building's finished.

Uh, you guys are all cynics.

I'm not. I think this is all great.

We also have a shipment to impact.

wearing underneath that canvas shroud?

I don't understand.

Jockey boxer.

Oh, that.

I have wear on.

Good. Now, I want you to stay calm.

You don't have to do that.

You know, I have some little short sleeves.

I didn't know the doorbell was broken.

I'll have it checked on my way out.

I hope all went well in La Paz.

I followed orders.

Not completely.

I never failed you.

I know you can trust me.

Do not presume to know me that well.

We've been associated for less than one year, and although successful until now,

that does not give you the power to make decisions for yourself.

Do you have the necklace?

Seems at least that part went smoothly.

The painting is now hanging in the Senor Diaz sub -basement.

He was very happy with his million -dollar trade.

You did fine up to that point.

But then you chose to celebrate with the company of a very different

professional.

The deal was complete.

I had no idea how long it would be before you guys would show up. That

difference. You were to wait.

You jeopardized the whole operation by letting your loins take the place of

brain. I still did my job first.

And you will still receive your bonus.

That money is yours, gentlemen.

Let's just say that Thiker has left it to you in his will.

Yeah.

Clean it up.

I was able to access all the passenger lists from the airlines and tourist

from the government office. I tapped into hotel reservations and villa

and cross -checked the whole batch.

Good. But tourists move in and out every day. Are we going to be able to keep up

with that? No.

But somehow this computer program can.

The longer the raven stays in Puerto Vallarta, the better chance we have of

finding him.

You're saying all we have to do is wait?

I have some locations to check.

Some of the villas that were rented on a long -term basis.

It's historic.

The oldest piece in this collection dates back to the early 1930s and comes

us from Spain.

Pure art deco that is true to the style that became synonymous with good taste

and is valued at over one million dollars.

Senorita, please, do not touch.

Well, if it's for sale, I should have the right to examine it. The lady is

absolutely right.

My name is Ramon Velez. These jewels are mine.

You are free to examine them as you wish, but they are not for sale.

You don't appear to be someone who is off of charity.

Nor do you, senorita.

Senor. Ness, my name is Kat.

I operate a small shop at the Marriott Hotel.

This item looks like it was made in Italy.

Actually, it was Spain.

I bought it at an estate auction for much more than it was worth.

I'm a great admirer of beautiful things.

Would you care to see some more of my collection?

I'd like more than that.

I'd like you to give the show at my hotel.

Of course, there would be a small commission of any sale.

There are no sales.

These shows are only to see if there is a market for these items in this resort

area.

Would you care to join me for a late lunch?

Perhaps further discuss business arrangements.

Business? Of course, among other things.

May I send a card for you?

3 .30 would be fine.

My card.

Take her out.

I don't know.

I don't know.

Oh, the dog.

Oh, my dog.

Luana, get in touch with Nicole.

We just found one of the people on the list.

COA on a beach floating south of town.

Yeah, he was sad.

I think we got our first scent.

The tourist card says he is Philip Zyker, Canadian, but he shows no

that name.

How did he arrive?

Well, he flew in from La Paz, but I don't know how he got there in the first

place.

Well, he fits the age and general description of the raven.

The hairline and eye color can be adjusted, but the cheekbones and the

not look like a match.

Yeah, but that's if the picture of the raven's untouched.

I mean, it could be him.

What does his fingerprint show?

Nothing. No record.

Come on, everybody's got some kind of record.

Okay, but I still can't find it.

What do we got from here?

You sure do have a way of cutting through it, don't you, Joanna?

What do you mean?

Nothing important right now.

We know he was a guest at the Bel Air Hotel.

Anybody have a contact there that might help us?

Yeah.

Tommy's well -known at the poolside bar there.

Used to be.

Ha!

What were you before?

Perfect.

Could I say something?

I really have to.

This Raven.

I knew that he was a thief and a killer when I joined the group, and I wanted to

be a part of it.

I still do.

It's just that I've never been this close to a real murder before.

If you want out, I'll understand.

I mean, we forget we're not part of the norm, and this is what we do.

Oh, no, no, that's not it.

It's just that I was never very good at doing most things.

I mean, I was an okay, but not a great student.

I went to Paris to be an artist. I was okay, but not that good.

We're not complaining.

I am.

I want to be better than okay.

I want to be more than office help.

I want to work with all of you.

It could be very dangerous.

You will have to learn a lot more about investigations, weapons.

There's a lot more to it. I want to try.

I want to be really good at something besides fixing things and not knowing

I made them work.

I know I can do it.

Yeah.

Yeah, me too. Let's adopt her.

Just don't call me Uncle Tommy.

So you come with me for lesson number one.

Come on, Tommy. Call me Joe, man. Everybody in Mexico is called Jose.

I speak English.

I went to high school. I make money. I'm a Joe.

That's the way that Jose rolls off my lips. Yeah, well, ain't nothing rolling

off these lips till we reach a little agreement.

Okay.

Joe, you tell me about the dead guy.

Room 1046.

One bedroom, jacuzzi, a bar. He's an okay tipper, no big deal.

Checked in yesterday.

He got killed.

Now there is a school principal and a student in the suite.

They don't leave the room.

No, no, no. See, that is what you told the cop.

What I want is what you remember for a special friend.

Am I right to say this, then?

Oh, yeah. Of course you are.

You're not in jail, right?

Now tell me what you didn't tell the cop.

That wouldn't be right?

No.

But it could be very profitable.

You know, the exchange rate isn't what it used to be.

He had a visitor the night before he checked out.

What did he look like?

He was a she.

Mr. Zyker wanted some company, and I made arrangements for it.

Oh. You do things like that?

Only on a very exclusive basis, okay?

And do you charge for doing that?

She for real?

Look, where do I find the lady?

You don't.

I do.

You are a very conniving and dishonest man, Jose.

Joe, you made a deal and we paid. Now, a deal is a deal. So either tell us or

tell the police.

And I think we would look much more kindly towards your occupation than they

would.

Well, now you know she's for real.

Well, when I left, he was okay.

He was a lot of fun.

He sold jewelry or made it or something.

And he showed me this beautiful necklace. It must have been worth a

There was nothing like that found in his room.

Could it have been stolen?

Certainly not by me. I gave him his money's worth.

Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean you. I'm sure that you were more than... more

fair.

Somebody already asked these.

Definitely for real. You know what?

You put her in a cheerleader's costume and she could make a lot of money.

Look, if you can describe the necklace, Joanna here can make a sketch of it. I

will never forget it. It was beautiful.

I've seen this necklace before.

Right here in Puerto Vallarta.

We are getting closer to the Raven.

You said you'd send a car.

I didn't think you'd do it yourself.

A privilege I reserve for myself.

You look lovely.

Hey, looks like our guys are in the old Estevez estate.

Wasn't on our list.

You know, by the marina?

Well, you better stay with Kat.

Joanna was able to trade Zachert back to a cruise ship where he was connected to

a jewelry shop.

It could be the Raven himself.

Well, we're trying to check that out now.

Don't waste too much time.

Kat's sitting in the middle of all this.

I've always found Mexico to be one of the more relaxing places in the world.

Then you've been here before.

And you?

I've pretty much settled in.

So you've been in Puerto Vallarta for some time.

Apparently you've been asking questions about me. I don't know whether to be

complimented or offended.

Please take it as a compliment.

You see, in my business, security is an important factor, especially when it

comes to beautiful women.

They always pose a threat.

But which is more important for you?

Security, I'm afraid.

Oh, then you probably keep your valuables near to you.

Probably right here.

Is that what interests you most?

For the moment.

Oh, they're beautiful.

Could I try one on?

Of course.

Oh.

These are all classic pieces.

Is there anything else you would like to know about?

Everything.

And then perhaps you will tell me a few things.

Oh, it's a woman's privilege to be secretive.

What would you like to know?

Why is it you were followed here?

Followed?

I don't understand.

I think you do.

And I think you know the young man.

And I think this lunch is becoming unpleasant.

But we haven't even eaten yet, and I had a wonderful meal prepared.

Well, I find it hard to stay if you suspect me of something.

I'd like to leave.

If you insist.

I will call my driver for you.

Thank you.

I don't know.

It's alike, but different.

You can change your nose and certain cosmetic looks, but the length of the

remain the same, so does the distance between the eyes.

Match them up.

It's not like fingerprints.

No, but it is what was used before fingerprints, and it's all we have.

What do you think?

I'm not sure.

Then I have to be.

I think Kat is with the Raven, and we've got to warn her.

Hey, take a message for me, will you?

Yes?

It's not Tommy. Call the police.

Where are you?

You were supposed to pick me up at five, and I've been sitting on the beach like

a fool.

You did this to me before, but you won't ever do this to me again.

You should have shown up for your date, Tommy.

to do with that?

Pull this off.

Pull away from yourself.

Pull this and yell.

Why should I yell?

Because the noise will scare the blazes out of you.

You're not the police or any legal authority or you would not be playing

little game.

What is it you want of me?

Lunch.

We came for your jewels.

So you're telling me you're merely common thieves?

Like you. You stole the necklace, so we came to steal it from you.

That's too simple.

Would pain convince you to be more thorough?

It wouldn't change the truth.

You stole that necklace from a man named Biker.

He was found dead.

So now you're calling me a murderer, too.

That's not my problem.

We only came for the jewels.

I wish I could believe you.

I might even admire your attendance.

But my only real choice is to kill you.

I think...

Drowning would be appropriate.

We have someone on the ground, gentlemen. Find him.

I will be back for my necklace, the Raven.

Damn it, we lost him.

Oh, we'll find him again.

We won't have to.

All we got to do is sit tight and stay alert.

Raven's not going to let us keep the necklace.

Does that mean you'll be coming back for us?

Next time on Al Capocco Heat. There were over a hundred bullet bolts made two

dead men. Tell me every contact you have ever had with the second Al Capocco

Heat. I am no stool pigeon.

Did I take them on?

Now I know there's a leak. You were set up. Good morning, Tommy. You're under

arrest. The first painting is gone and the heat group has the necklace.

I located the history on the necklace. The raven can come at us from anywhere

and you might not see it. I am not leaving here until I learn what is going
