Original subtitles

Look at what's happened to me.

I can't believe it myself.

Suddenly I'm up on top of the world.

It should've been somebody else.

Believe it or not,

I'm walking on air.

I never thought I could feel so free.

Flying away on a wing and a prayer.

Who could it be?

Believe it or not, it's just me.

Just like the light of a new day.

It came from out of the blue

breaking me out of the spell I was in,

Making all of my wishes come true

Believe it or not I'm walking on air.

I never thought I could feel so free

Flying away on a wing and a prayer.

Who could it be?

Believe it or not it's just me.

Once upon a time two worlds collided.

Two different kinds of people fell in love.

But everywhere they went they had to hide it.

In candlelit cafes, they dreamed of better days

And happy endings once upon a time.

Now they meet in dark and secret places,

With barely time enough to say goodbye.

The love they long to share is on their faces.

He holds her as she cries,

Consoles her with his eyes

And dies a little once upon a time.

Once upon a time.

This is Carlisle, we made him.

He's on the southeast corner, he's heading right to you.

Now take it easy, don't rush it.

We need to talk to both of them.

That's a roger.

Units six and eight are rolling.

Keep an eye out for the Russian Suicide team

they could be on him, too.

We've got it covered, thank you.

That's the one.

Wait for him to meet with the girl.

We need the girl.

Theresa.

This is unit eight, they are together.

We're on our way.

Clean up the spaghetti, let's go.

Mi amor, are you okay?

I'm fine.

Oh, thank god.

You?

Nobody hurt.

I was so worried.

When you left, I not know where to go to.

My government force me to try

to take over your business.

I could not.

I love you.

I don't want your money. I'm so sorry.

- That's okay. - Look, we run away.

They'll never find us and we'll be together.

I'm so glad to find you, so very glad.

I cannot live without you.

F.B.I. Mr. Valenkov, you're under arrest.

You and Mrs. Valenkov.

Take it easy please, just come with us.

Sergei, we cannot run forever. We can't.

We must stop some time.

Run! Hurry!

Go!

Lousy Russians!

Theresa!

Sergei! Sergei!

Oh, Sergei. Sergei.

Commies.

Hey, I was in that slot.

What's the matter with you? This ain't Moscow.

It is, I understand, a free country, no?

You look for another place.

You guys really blew it in Egypt, you know?

Keeps the Russians in the waiting room.

Tell the director they're downstairs

and get the C.I.A. out of here!

It's not their case or their building.

Oh, boy. Billy the Kid Maxwell. Get out of here!

You're not cleared. This is a security floor.

How's the hotdog business, Norm?

You still slopping the mustard on your shoes?

Hellinger, do you want to get somebody on the elevator?

We've got grade two security jerks wandering around up here.

Sorry Norm, we're just setting up.

Sounds serious, Norman.

What are you doing here?

I'm in for my six month lie detector debriefing.

They told me the second floor.

Will you call security, tell them as of now

the debriefing rooms have been moved to the basement

and ask them to stop sending the geeks up here?

Same old Carlisle, I sure hope you don't step

on anything slippery. The rest of us might kick you

to death when you fall.

- You want to take a hike? - I've got problems here.

- I'm glad to hear it. - Couldn't happen to a nicer guy.

Do something for your country, Maxwell!

Douche bag!

Caste systems exist in India. Where else?

Parts of tribal Africa, okay?

Nobody's getting my biz,

I'm getting out of here while I can.

Hey, I'm with you Jack because this aint what's happening.

Right? And where else?

Detroit.

Bahamas, right?

The warriors there had the Law of Mana

which established their hierarchy.

Okay, tomorrow we blow this dump and hit the streets?

You got it. You got it.

I'm playing to an empty house here, right?

What's going on Tony? Cyler?

Yeah, right. Tribal chieftains, right.

Got it Mr. H.

Okay, alright.

This has been going on for a couple weeks now.

I'm sitting up here doing my buck and wing

and you guys are paying absolutely no attention.

I'm getting very frustrated.

If you don't want to talk about this,

let's talk about something that you want to.

Okay? Tony? Cyler?

Everything is cool, Mr. H. Go on.

No I don't want to. You know I get the feeling

that you and Tony and a few other people here

are getting ready to pull the ripcord on me.

Now what's going on here, huh?

Come on, tell me. I can take it.

Come on Mr. H, you're talking about India,

Bahamas, tribal Africa. What does that have to do with us?

Plenty, Tony. You see the study of other cultures,

even ones that don't resemble ours,

help us in understanding ours better.

- That's a bunch of bull, man. - Our culture is what it is.

It's cops busting kids.

It's this crummy school playing it's crummy trip on us

and like it or not, we don't count for nothing around here

or in this crummy society you're so hot for.

Oh that's what this is, huh?

Okay, so poor little me?

- No but it's true, Mr. H. - We don't count for nothing.

I mean they got us cooped up in here

because they say we're not good enough for regular school.

Hey hold it, Rhonda. Let's at least be honest with that.

You guys are here because you went out of your way

to upset the rest of the school.

You might think that's a bum rap

but that's exactly the reason why you're in this class.

Now you can deal with it or shine it on,

but I think we ought to at least be honest with it.

See, we've all been talking

and school don't hold nothing for us.

We ain't cutting it,

so we think we should just like split.

Yeah.

- Times a wasting, man. - You gotta get out there,

pick up some points, fast.

How are you going to score some points, Paco,

when you can't even fill out a job application

without misspelling it?

Hey, we ain't going to be filling out no job applications,

Mr. H. We're getting in the leverage business, you know?

Beating the system, that's where it's at.

How are you going to beat the system, Tony?

You going to rip it off?

Ah, come on. What is that?

Hey listen, you guys count! People count!

Okay, so right now you're having a little bit

of trouble figuring out how school is supposed to help.

Look Mr. H, it ain't that you ain't got a terrific rap,

it's just, it ain't going down. You know?

- It ain't going down. - Boy, that's terrific!

Cyler, you made my day.

Hey, you wanted to hear it.

Now you're getting all upset because we told you.

That's the point, nobody wants to hear us, case closed.

No you're wrong, Tony. I care, I really do. I care.

Alright, would you let me prove it to you?

Now, I believe there's room for the individual

in a group society-

- Hey! You ever think that maybe they put you

in here with us because you weren't good enough

to handle them straights out there?

- I want to continue this. - I want to continue this.

I have a rebuttal. I have a rebuttal

and I want to get the chance to talk about it.

There's a free period at 9:30 tomorrow,

will you please come?

We'll be there, but maybe for the last time.

The system stinks and that's no lie.

That's a lie, Bill. Now why are you lying?

What lie? What's a lie?

That's a lie right there.

Now come on, we're almost through here, Bill.

Let's just try that question one more time.

Alright.

Has anything happened in the last six months

that is in any way unusual or that needs

to be referenced here before giving you your clearance?

Nothing of any earthly nature.

- Oh come on, Bill. - A simple yes or no.

Alright, no.

What's it saying?

It's saying lie. Now you know the rules.

Either you pass this lie detector test

or you're out of bureau.

Uh, I don't know why it's doing that Sherm.

I swear I don't know.

I guess I'd better take the fifth

or this thing is going to put me in Leavenworth.

Okay, Bill. I've got to forward this test

to the bureau chief and you'll be back in two days

and take a second test.

If you fail to pass that test,

then you'll be discharged with no benefits.

You're temporarily suspended.

Leave your gun and your ID with me.

I'll give you a receipt.

Sherm, we've been friends for an awful lot of years-

- Not anymore, I'm not friendly with people

who flunk this test.

Two days and you better pass it.

Gimme.

Well you can have the ID

but the gun is an issue. It's mine.

I sure hope you haven't gone bad, Maxwell.

Maybe it's just temporary?

You know, a phase kids go through.

If I could just get them involved in something

that would hit hard, you know?

Something that would have a bigger effect on them.

Not just a school play or a field trip, you know?

Something dramatic, something that's going to have

a long lasting effect on these kids.

Okay, boys and girls, we've got trouble.

Not again.

Big trouble.

Bill, we are just sitting down to enjoy a nice dinner.

Oh, you were?

Well in that case, please don't let 20 years down the drain

of dedicated service interrupt any of your plans for dinner.

I mean, let's get out the Iranian caviar,

give the Ayatollah something to really cheer about.

Bill, what are you doing? Your gun is out!

Would you?

What is wrong with you?

Come one, you look really, really uh-

- Panicked? Is that the word?

That's the word.

Yes, that's it. I flunked.

The bureau polygraph test.

A lie detector test?

Why on earth are you taking one of those?

You have to take one every six months to keep your badge.

They're looking for sellouts.

Are you kidding me?

They make you take a lie detector test

to stay in the F.B.I.?

I couldn't answer the last question.

What was it?

"Has anything peculiar or unusual happened to you

in the last six months?"

You mean you actually submit to that kind of indignity?

You actually stand still for that kind of harassment?

I couldn't tell them you had the suit, Ralph.

I couldn't tell them about the spaceship.

I couldn't tell them about the little green guys.

I tell them that? They stamp "Tooty Fruity" on my record

and send it straight to the basement,

phase me out on a medical.

I can't believe that our government

would actually stand still for the harassment

of their own agents. That's unbelievable.

No wonder recruitment is off.

No wonder no one wants your job.

I think you may have a good constitutional lawsuit

here, Bill. Fifth amendment.

- What are you crazy? - Sue the government?

What are you talking about? I work for the government.

I love this government. I ain't suing nobody.

Can I have a menu?

Think that our people working in the government

have to stand still for that kind of harassment,

it's unbelievable.

See this is exactly what I was talking about with the-

- Would you just please put a lid on that?

It's not the test that's bugging me.

I happen to agree with the test.

I've seen a lot of guys go bad.

What's bugging me is I blew it, I flunked

on account of you and the suit, Ralph.

Can I get some burgers to go? I'm starving to death.

They don't serve those here, Bill.

What are you going to do?

Not what I'm going to to, it's what you're doing to do.

You're going to get me out of this mess.

You're going to bail me out, now, tonight, right now.

Oh, alright. Well, um.

Are we missing a piece here?

I think so, because I sure don't know

how you're going to fix that.

Something enormous is going down at the bureau.

The whole place is on tumble dry.

That the piece?

No.

Ralph,

breaks into the bureau building,

finds out what's going down

and then you, me, the councilor and the suit,

solve the case.

That's the piece.

And you trade the solution

for the flunked lie detector test?

Bill, is that kosher?

You get a grip on yourself. I'll try.

Ah!

Ah! Oh, No!

Who are you?

I'm looking for the case file you're working on.

- Just like that? - You kick in a door?

You want a top secret security file?

- Just like that. - Is that it there?

I was through with it, anyway.

I thought so.

Ah!

Oh boy, no wonder they're all bananas

over at the bureau, and my least favorite fed,

Agent "Hotdog" Carlisle, is in deep trouble.

He blew it big at the park today.

Oh, what a shame, poor baby.

This is all about Theresa Temarosa,

the Italian importing heiress.

Last year she meets a guy named Serg Valenkov,

Russian chauffer with the Soviet embassy there

and the newlyweds get into a beef.

Two months ago Serg disappears and then he gets spotted here

in the United States and Theresa comes running over

to find him along with a top Kremlin suicide hit squad

who was trying it kidnap both of them

and take them back to Mother Russia.

And the hits just keep on coming, ooh.

Wait a second, it gets better.

Among her personal holdings are several private islands

in the Mediterranean that would, get this,

give the Ruskies a missile base in the Mediterranean,

which they don't got so far but they want.

No kidding. How can that be?

They can't do that.

Can they do that?

You better bet your funny long johns they can.

If I can find this girl and her husband,

in one piece before this red kamikaze squad

and before the bureau,

I can trade myself right out of that lie tape.

Bing, bang, boom!

I sort of feel sorry for them, both of them.

Don't you, Ralph?

I do. It's like they don't have anything to say about it.

All we have to do is find them.

Old Maxwell's out of the woods, back in business.

Uh, Bill? I can't just look them up

like they're in the Yellow Pages, you know?

I have to have something that belongs to them.

Something that has their vibes on it

and even then you never know.

Their vibe? What? I can't find anything.

Come on, get serious.

Hey Mac, I'm on your side, remember?

I'm just telling you how the suit works.

Well, uh, we're only talking about my whole career here.

If you can't do it that way

then we've got a tremendous amount of legwork

and no soldiers, no troops, to do it.

This legwork, would it be dangerous?

Huh? No, you just go around, show pictures, ask questions.

You run across anything, you call it in.

It just takes bodies and time, that's all.

Why?

My kids. The class. We set up a telephone committee.

Get them to convene at the school.

It's a wonderful idea!

It stinks.

Bill, they know this area.

We give them pictures of the guy.

They spread out, cover a lot of territory.

We can use this place as a headquarters.

It stinks.

I thought perhaps she'd call you?

Maybe you tell again where she meet me?

Okay.

I'll be waiting. Thank you. Thank you.

Listen up! Listen up!

Yesterday you all told me you thought there was no room

in society for individuals, right?

- Damn straight, Mr. - H. Ain't that right?

Isn't, Tony. Come on, give me a break

on the grammar, will ya?

Alright, so what's this trip for anyway? Come on.

Alright, let's pile in the van here.

On the way I'm going to tell you guys a story, a love story.

About an Italian heiress named Theresa

and a Russian limousine driver named Serg

and the way they might effect the military power

of the world.

That's what I saw! What do you want from me, huh?

He flew out the window!

If I'm lying, I'm dying!

I think Agent Carlisle better go off the line for a while,

he's not too tightly wrapped.

He really believes that junk.

I'll check him in for a full psychiatric.

It's too bad. I always thought Carlisle was a comer.

He's never forgotten my wife's birthday.

So, what do you think?

It's really sad. I mean they fall in love

and then all the forces that are around them

just try and destroy them.

Theresa Temarosa is 28 years old.

Yeah, she ain't no bow-wow, either.

Hey, Mr. H? Mr. H?

What?

How come us? I mean how come we're going

to look for these people?

Yeah.

I mean, ain't that a police problem?

Police, right.

We're helping out Bill Maxwell.

I ain't going to help that brass out

by no parade to march in.

Here he is now.

I bet he's got his gun and everything.

He's got his badge, big shot.

Alright, let's get it.

Come on, let's go.

Catch some criminals, huh?

Okay, let's button it up.

I said let's button up. Freeze it, please!

Okay shut the door, everybody over against the van.

Line up. Close the door.

Well, well, well. This is my unit, huh Ralph?

Just what I always wanted, romper room.

Hey, Mr. H, this guy wants our help,

he better learn how to say please.

You, on any given day, the one thing I don't want to hear

is some hubcap stealing shrimp

telling me how to run my unit.

- You got your gun on you? - Yeah.

You going to wave a piece of iron in my face again?

Okay, okay. Gee, I'm glad we got that out in the open.

Tony, Bill, what do you say we relax a little bit

and see what we can get accomplished here, huh?

I like to think positively, Ralph,

but I don't know.

You know everything about finding a missing person,

is that it?

I don't know spit about it, Jack, but I know

how to stand my ground.

Yeah.

Okay, me too, okay.

What makes you think you're going

to find this Theresa Temarosa?

That's a good question, honey.

We're not looking for Theresa Temarosa.

That's what all the grunts down

at the bureau got psyched in to.

What we're going to do is look for Serg Valenkov,

that's the husband. Valenkov, you got that?

Now, these are photographs of Valenkov.

Take 'em around, ask people.

Remember, we're looking for guy

with an accent could cut a hole in concrete.

Now if you find anybody who's seen him,

don't do anything. Pull back and call in.

Pam's going to be on the phone.

She's running the command center.

No she's not, Bill.

One of the kids? That's silly.

You are. Pam and I decided.

Me? I'm the best field operative in Los Angeles.

What are you talking about?

- This is my class. - I'm responsible

and damn it, I'm going to call the shots.

Besides, how are we going to get in touch with you

if we need you, unless you're by the phone?

If we have any questions we call you,

you can give us the correct F.B.I. procedure.

- I hate this Ralph. - Unfortunately, you're right.

Okay, listen up please.

Alright, everybody in the van.

We'll divvy up into pairs

and I'll drop you off every three blocks.

- First of all- - Grab a walkie talkie,

they're in the basket.

Come on, let's hustle up.

Come on, we've got a lot of ground to cover here.

Alright.

You are having fun.

You love rubbing my nose in it, don't you?

Yeah, I do. Stay by the phone, Bill.

Hey, Maxwell. If I come across any chrome spinners,

I'll pick them up for you, you know?

Put a little fun in your life.

Every day of my life I'm looking

for wise-guys, Villicanna.

I'm sure glad I didn't miss out on you.

You're going to end up getting me shot.

Him coming right in that old school

and shooting that gun off.

Now remember, no heroes.

Anybody shows any signs of interest,

you get on the walkie talkie and you call in.

Now, who's out next?

Miss Davidson, you want to go with me?

Sure, Rhonda, okay.

Bye, babe.

Bye.

Good luck!

Be careful

Go get them.

Miss Davidson?

What does Mr. H see in you?

Oh, I don't mean that as an insult.

I mean, you're kind of pretty and everything.

Oh.

I was wondering, that's all.

I think he likes who I am, Rhonda.

You look good in clothes?

Well see, now I don't think that has much

to do with anything.

It's more important how I think.

The kind of mental stimulation I can provide.

And then there's the physical attractiveness

but that comes first and last in a relationship.

You mean that's more important?

Oh, no.

I mean, that's what gets the phone ringing.

It's usually responsible for the first date.

After that, it enriches the relationship

but it's not the most important thing.

At least not in a long standing one.

Theresa Temarosa thinks this Valenkov guy is sexy

because he's stimulating intellectually?

I don't know what she thinks, Rhonda.

I only know what I think.

Now let's get going and see if we can't find this guy, huh?

Alright, good luck.

Make sure you check in every hour on the walkie talkie.

We is checking like clockwork.

We are checking like clockwork.

Please don't use the singular.

You swearing, Cyler?

Paco, lets's go, let's hit it.

Alright, we'll catch you peoples later, alright?

Hey now, don't get lost now, right?

Hey, stay with the teacher, chum!

Man, you know that Mr. H ain't a bad guy, you know?

I ain't gonna use bad grammar no more

because Mr. H don't got no better help with us, you know?

We gotta do like better stuff for him.

You know ain't nothing wrong with your grammar

that couldn't be fixed by just learning English, you know?

Come on, let's go Paco.

My old man, he's always saying to me,

"Tony, pick your friends carefully." You know?

Just like that. In the meantime he's hanging out

with a bunch of guys who couldn't open a beer can

without reading the instructions

and I'm probably going to end up just like them,

a moron, you know?

If that's what you want, that's what's going to happen.

Insurance claim, have you seen this guy?

Talks with a thick accent.

So what are you saying that for?

Are you trying to provoke me?

No, I'm not trying to provoke you, Tony.

You're trying to provoke me.

You're trying to get a rise out of me,

you do it all the time and I'm telling you it's a cheap shot

because whether you believe it or not, Tony,

I'm your friend.

Yeah, I know. Sometimes it comes out, you know,

like a reflex.

I know that. I really do.

Hey listen, you want to end up like your father's friends,

that's up to you but there's no reason why you can't be

anything you want to be. I believe people count.

Tony, you count. Rhonda counts. I count.

Bill Maxwell counts.

I don't know about Maxwell.

Hey, everybody counts the same, Tony.

Everybody counts the same.

Don't you get it? You can't predict what's going to happen.

All you can do is keep making yourself ready

for the best things.

You've got to aim high instead of low.

That way when the good things do come along,

you're better equipped to cash in.

When the bad things happen,

you're better equipped to deal with it.

In the end the quality of your life just keeps improving.

You believe that?

Yes, I do.

Pick your friends carefully, eh?

Pick your friends carefully.

Alright so maybe I'll pick a friend.

Who are you going to pick, Tony?

I'll pick you.

Hey Tony, thank you.

Thank you, I accept.

Maxwell, command center, go.

Yeah we're down here on the corner

where the F.B.I. picked up Theresa and Serg, right.

Ain't nothing happening man, what's going on?

Ain't nothing going on down here.

Wait a minute, wait a minute.

That ain't no way to give a report.

Start with your name.

Last name first, middle name, first name last.

Then location, then your facts,

then stand by for instructions.

Look buddy, you're a real fruitcake.

I got nothing here so far and my instructions

to you are drop dead.

Dog!

Yeah!

The man gets on my nerves.

Switchblade space cadets, give me a break.

Hey, what you got?

There's an F. Valenkov in the Hollywood directory.

F, not S?

- Maybe he's a relative? - Brother? Cousin?

Maybe Sergie's hiding out there?

It's only three blocks away from here.

Let me give Maxwell a call.

And tell him what?

You're right, it's a long shot.

Let's check it out anyway.

Hey, I ain't calling him. You know, I don't like that guy.

He's your friend, you know?

Maybe you ought to take my old man's advice

and pick your friends more carefully?

He's not a bad guy once you get through the veneer, Tony.

You know while most of us have been sitting on our tails,

listening to The Beatles and enjoying decaffeinated coffee,

guys like Maxwell have been digging in the trenches,

keeping our country safe.

I should be crying, I'm so ungrateful Mr. H.

Sergei, please!

Frederic.

Sergei.

I must go now, Frederic.

It's no good for you, I found here.

- Where are you going? - When will I see you again?

A friend of Theresa call me, set up meeting for us.

I go.

Goodbye, brother.

- Hey there he is Mr. H. - That's him right there.

Hey, you're right Tony, it is.

Bill! Bill! This is Ralph, we got him!

He's heading southbound. Headed downtown.

Two guys in a green sedan following him.

Looks like a rental car of some sort.

Hope it's not the Russian suicide team

you were talking about.

Hey, give us an address. We'll get over there.

Clear this channel.

Hey, I want in on this.

Clear this channel immediately. This is Maxwell.

Shut up, you bozos!

Geez, save me from amateurs.

Hey, this machine's real neat.

- Shut up, you creeps. - - Hey Cyler,

what are you doing over there?

Get off this channel!

Alright, Bill, he's headed southbound.

Alright he's making a right on 6th Street.

What are we going to do?

I don't know, Rhonda. Just be ready to call the cops.

I don't know. I've never done anything like this before.

I'm an attorney. I usually don't get involved until

after they're caught.

Here they are!

Out! Out! Get out! Out! Out!

Hey, look at that! What's going on here?

What are you doing?

Hey Tony, you stay here and flag Maxwell.

What are you going to do?

I don't know.

There goes another one.

Okay stay here.

Take this and tell Maxwell where we are, okay?

Well what are you gonna do?

I don't know.

Never.

Oh what the hell!

Hey, wait a minute. Wait a minute, I'm not through!

Ow.

Ah!

Run, Pam! Run!

Stop! Let go or I kill!

Let's go.

In, in.

Miss Temarosa, what I'm trying to say to you,

and I guess I'm not making any headway,

is that we are sorry we lost your husband

but we did lose one of ours, too.

Point is, and this is for everybody in the room,

this game is not over yet.

I will do anything to get Sergei back, anything!

Look, I will offer to trade myself.

Nope, that's out.

It matters not what happens if Sergei is killed.

Tony, did you hear that?

This thing is so sloppy,

they ought to serve it with a bib.

Come on, kid. I can't stand it when you do that.

Okay, you messed up.

Well you've got to pull yourself together, that's all.

How could I let that happen? How?

That's not the point.

The point is, things go bad, you've got to keep going.

Run a sting op.

I had him, right-

I gotta get out of here, Bill.

I gotta do something. I'm just sitting here.

Well I misjudged this thing.

I figured any half bright suicide squad is going

to operate on a more covert scenario but I was wrong.

Oh, oh, whoa, whoa, no, no. Let me.

I've done this before.

Well answer it!

Mm-hmm. I will.

Yeah? What do you want?

Da. We have one of your operatives.

- Yeah. - A woman.

Also we are having our countryman, Sergei Valenkov.

We think maybe we should talk.

Sorry, Boris. You got nothing.

Except a cornball accent.

We will kill both.

You guys take the cake for boring.

What's your deal?

You meet us at Palmdale Airport.

We have a plane there.

You park at the end of runway.

We make exchange there, before takeoff.

Two hours.

What?

No good. Hanson Dam, middle of the bridge.

Two hours is okay. One car.

You keep a walkie talkie close by,

set 1530. That's 1530 megacycles.

Take it, or leave it.

- Take it or leave it? - Are you crazy? What-

- You've got to deal from strength, Ralph.

This is Rhonda, come in please.

Come in please, this is Rhonda.

Go ahead, Rhonda.

Is Everything still quiet?

Yeah everything's alright

but we still have a while to wait.

Listen I'm going to keep this channel open

because Bill's tuned in on the other one

but I want you to stay off the air, alright?

That's a big 10-4, Mr. H. Over and out.

That kid's got some rough edges, alright

but you know if I could get my hands on him

for a couple of weeks away from all these bad influences,

I bet I could iron him out for you.

You like him, huh?

No I don't like him Ralph, he's a punk.

I'm just saying he could get straightened out, that's all.

Will you please stop making me sound

like a Peace Corps volunteer all the time?

There's nothing wrong with liking Tony, Bill.

There's a lot to like there.

Just have to get past that cocky thing that he does.

Those kids play you like a fiddle, Ralph.

You've got to remember, they need a little dose

of the old boot in the backside once in a while

just to get their attention span unlocked,

grind their pumps.

Maybe.

- Okay, okay. - That's them. I think.

Use your holograph thing can you, and see what they got?

Excuse me.

What are you doing? Oh.

They've got a couple extra guys, I bet.

Yeah, and one guy in the trunk.

I think.

The Russians are so predictable,

they make you want to laugh.

Pam and Serg are okay.

Good.

How do you do? Maxwell here.

Let's get this thing started and get it over with.

Start Miss Temarosa moving on the bridge, please.

We have field glasses. We must know it is her

before we'll release these two.

Okay, it looks like they're not going to try

to ambush us first so we can get Mrs. Valenkov

on the road. Tell her she's got to be ready to duck.

Mrs. Valenkov, they're ready to see you.

Do they have Sergei?

Yes, I saw him, ma'am. He's alright.

Now when Mr. Maxwell asks for you to get down,

you must get Serg and Pam down as well.

Okay, that's far enough.

It's just a looksie they want.

Let's see ours.

Go!

- Alright, send them over. - I will send Mrs. Valenkov.

Not you, Valenkov. Go!

Go ahead, ma'am.

Where's Mr. Valenkov?

We are sending your operative over only.

As you say, take it or leave it.

That's what you think, you creep.

Come on, Ralph. They're almost together.

What's taking you so long?

Oh, boy. We've got to get you a bigger phone booth.

Remember, stick to the scenario.

Ha ha! Surprise!

Why are they still holding Sergei?

I don't know.

We must get down now, now!

Watch him, Serg.

No you don't.

Now!

Theresa! Come to me!

Get back to Maxwell as soon as you can.

Go!

Excuse me!

Ah!

- Come on, let's go! - Ralph, no!

Let go! Okay.

No, Ralph.

No, Ralph. Not again!

Ouch.

Come on, let's get out of here.

I've had enough surprises for one day.

How did you do that?

If it confuses you, how do you think I feel?

You'd be doing us a very great favor, Mrs. Valenkov,

if you'd forget what you saw. You, too, Serg.

It's a promise.

Da.

Ralph, give me a hand.

Villicanna!

Oh it's a great month, Maxwell, a great month for wine.

I can't take my eyes off you! Gimme that.

- Is that why he likes you? - Because you're a lawyer?

Oh I don't know, Rhonda.

Maybe that could have something to do with it.

I'm glad you're okay.

I'm glad they didn't hurt you.

Thank you.

I never figured brains were sexy

but you know, maybe that's why I like Mr. H?

Hello?

Yes this is he. Thank you, put him on.

Is this Deputy Bureau Chief Harland King?

Sir, this is Agent Bill Maxwell.

I have a deal I'd like to talk, are you alone?

Let's hear it.

Well I guess you've heard I failed my lie test?

Yeah, I got that report.

I would prefer not to discuss this on the phone.

- I can't help that, sir. - I don't have any choice.

I've been wondering, would you be willing

to forget the lie test in exchange for Theresa Temarosa

and her husband, Serg Valenkov, tonight in an hour?

You've got Sergei Valenkov, too?

Who are you kidding Maxwell?

We've got 60 officers on that, not to mention the C.I.A.

I don't believe one agent could succeed

where 60 have failed. What are you trying to pull, Maxwell?

Well, sir, that's my deal. I deliver them to you

and you deliver the lie tape to me

and promise me I never have to take another one.

I don't like making these kind of deals, Maxwell.

Sir, listen to me. I'm a good fed.

I don't know why I failed the lie test

but consider the rest of my package,

20 years keeping my nose clean and doing a job

and that I absolutely will swear to.

You're crazy, Maxwell.

Maybe, but I know I'm a good fed.

All the way to my hair.

Okay, Maxwell. Get them in here in an hour

and you got a deal.

Well Cane I don't really care whether you like it or not,

that's my deal, that's it. Take it or leave it.

What happened? Did he buy it?

Oh yeah, you just have to deal with these guys

from strength, that's all.

Okay boys and girls and delinquents,

Theresa, Serg-

Oh, sorry, Sergei, let's take a ride downtown.

One? Cute, Villicanna, really cute.

Now pop it off of there before I feed it to you.

The guy's got no gratitude. Total zip.

Ah, man!

Come on, let's go, let's go!

Hey Mr. H, maybe these would look good

on the school van, huh?

No.

Okay.

Uh, maybe we was wrong about quittin' school,

so maybe we'll stick around for a while.

Tony, that's terrific.

You guys just made it all worth while.
