You know, I just don't see how one piece of computer hardware can stop a space

launch. Doesn't make his connection by midnight. It's game over.

Just a scrap of silicone with microchips.

And yet men die for it.

Countries may even go to war for the like of it.

What the hell was that?

It's here somewhere.

I got three hours before I have to call off a billion dollar space shot.

Thank you.

Come on, hotshot, make your move.

I can't stand much more of this.

Three weeks we've been on this guy's tail now.

It's longer than most of my relationships.

You don't get to be the number one courier for the KGB by rushing into

things.

This Cab Devereaux is one smooth operator.

He may be cool, but he's on a deadline, too.

Doesn't make a connection by midnight. It's game over.

You know, I just don't see how one piece of computer hardware can stop a space

launch. When it's a circuit board for the satellite, you better believe it's

crucial.

Let me check monitor two and see if our launch is still in countdown.

Houston, this is mission control. System's going for final countdown at T

minus seven hours and counting.

Heads up, pals.

What do you have?

Possible contact coming up behind Devereux.

Can you get a clear enough shot to run a make on him?

I'm way ahead of you.

Got him.

You read Tatlov.

what you call a major leaguer and he's a file clerk at the soviet embassy

strictly small potatoes so

what's a low-level civil servant doing hanging out

with a top brass like deborah i don't know maybe he's trying to make the

party's social register or maybe he can't wait to share one high-tech

circuit board

Why don't we go ask him?

Mike?

Stay with Devereaux. Looks like he's heading home.

All right.

Get in the car. You cannot do this to me.

You're breaking my civil rights.

Yeah, I'll break more than your civil rights if you don't talk to me. Now get

in.

While you're at it, the third floor exit light is out.

Okay.

I'll take a look.

Of course I'm sure.

If he had the circuit board on him, I would have picked up the titanium on my

detector.

Yeah, well, keep on fishing.

He's got to make contact in the next few hours.

Well, this waiting around is driving me crazy.

How about something less stressful next time, like preventing the overthrow of

some banana republic?

She does governments, but she doesn't do windows.

You're my kind of girl, Jo.

Uh-huh. Well, remember that when I need you, okay?

Yeah. Hang in there.

Yep.

Locking into whisper mode.

Oh, Jesus.

All right.

Come on, Deborah. You always watch the 6 o'clock news. What's with this Julia

Child stuff?

Oscar, you little demon. You wait for Mama.

You bad boy.

Such a troublemaker.

Nice cat, Sherrick.

Oh, thank you.

Come on, Oscar. Come, come, come, come, come. That's a good boy.

There, there.

Oh, no, no, no, no.

You are glad to be back with your Mama?

I guess having Oscar is a little like having a kid around, huh?

He's always into trouble.

My doctor tells me having pets makes you live longer. But he doesn't have to

chase that little monster all over God's green earth.

Don't listen to her, Oscar. We all know she loves you.

You've been such a help since you started working here.

Please, let me make tea for you soon.

Sure. Maybe later.

Sign.

Mike, I'm going downstairs to check the basement.

before our satellite.

Weather conditions are A-OK for launch in T-minus six hours.

Yeah, well, don't count on it. We've only got six hours before we scrub the

entire quasar defense system.

Keep in touch.

Oh, Miss Delaney.

Geez, you scared the life out of me. Sorry, I'm looking for Eric.

Oh, I think I just saw him go upstairs with Hannah and Oscar.

Oh, thanks, Jo.

He's only been home for a few days, and that dog's already his best friend.

Well, you know, boys and dogs.

Yeah, I guess.

You said you'd take me to your office, not my consulate.

Think of it as a compromise, comrade.

First you talk, then we bargain.

You still haven't heard any mention of Devereaux's contact. Come on. How can

you stop Devereaux's working with somebody else in that apartment

building? Who?

Not here in your office.

I got the license number. Tetloff?

I'm afraid our office ain't gonna do him any good now.

Call Mike.

Better pick us up, Mike.

Looks like the party's over.

Somebody in the apartment building.

Didn't he say anything else?

He ran out of time.

Okay, here's the data on the tenants.

Hannah Molnar, maiden name Kulczynski.

Born Warsaw, Poland. Husband Joseph Molnar, deceased 1941.

Two children, Ilsa and Katia, both deceased 43.

She's got one sister, Carla, still living in Poland.

She emigrated in 53.

Yes?

I just thought I'd check to see if you got back from your walk okay.

Oh, yes, yes. And I have tea already on the table, so you have to come. Come on,

come in.

Thank you.

Hi, Oscar.

Now, Oscar, you behave yourself for our guest.

Oh,

you take milk?

Just a little, please.

Oh, I will get.

Okay.

So nice to have the company.

I watch you do your work and you do such a good job.

Oh, thank you.

Dan, nothing.

What's the range on that detector anyway?

10, 20 feet, depending upon the titanium content.

The circuit board's not very big.

So.

Tell me, why does a nice girl like you have no husband to do this work?

Uh, I don't know.

Oh, sit down. Thank you.

We're barking up the wrong apartment. Switch to Devereaux's.

Oh, would I ever like to tie a feed bag on now?

I can't establish more of this.

We're up here chasing our tails and he's playing house.

He's checking the time.

Oh, well, it's nine o'clock. He doesn't want to miss that educational program of

his. I got three hours before I have to call off a billion-dollar space shot.

This joker is timing his roast.

You know, maybe this has been a setup.

Maybe they threw us their high-profile man as a cover for the real courier.

Yeah, but if Devereaux's not our man, why kill Katloff?

That's true.

Besides, he's all we've got.

It's that kid in the next apartment.

Yeah.

Let's take a closer look.

Whoa, look at that wrist action.

You should drop that kid, Jason.

Sure. It's a great idea.

Might it be able to fit in your flight suit.

Forget I said that, okay?

Ah, come on, Devereaux.

Make a move.

Here, take these with you. You could use a little weight.

Then don't let's get it all.

I can't right now, but thanks.

I gotta get going.

I'd love to come back, if that's okay. Of course.

Come soon.

Good. Okay.

Bye. Bye-bye.

Hey, guys, when this is all over, remind me to call my mom, okay?

Let's take a look.

There's somebody in the basement.

Switching to port camera.

It's a kid.

Call Joe.

Whoa, whoa, where are you going so fast?

Let's blow all these. Come on, let's get you upstairs. I bet your ma's worried

sick. I hate her.

I didn't want to talk like that.

Let's go.

Kids. Yeah, I remember trying to sneak out.

I was a little older.

Maybe this is it. Looks like Devereaux's getting ready to go out. Or expecting

someone.

Can't get away from the time.

The man is a creature of habit.

You had me worried to death.

I don't know how to thank you. Oh, that's okay. I was just doing my rounds.

It's a real tiger, that one.

Tell me about it.

After slinging burgers all day, it's all I can do to keep tabs on him.

Well, I have to change into something that doesn't smell like french fries.

I could keep an eye on him, just in case.

Why not? If you can take it.

Just let me change.

Okay.

Go to your room, Eric.

I ought to lock you in there.

He can be a holy terror.

It's his rotten dad's fault.

He's been that way ever since I got him back.

Took him right out of daycare.

Can you believe the ball?

Must have been awful.

What's that thing?

It's a rat detector.

No rats.

No rats?

Nope.

I gotta tell you something.

What, hon?

Eric, I said to stay in your room.

Thanks very much for bringing that. Oh, you're welcome. I really appreciate it.

He's a great kid.

What the heaven is Annie Delaney in her head?

Nothing so far.

That's funny, I thought we had something on everyone.

I did too.

I'll have to cross-check our Interpol files.

Hold on, our big show's on the road.

Looks like Devereaux's moving out.

Miley, let's not lose him.

What the hell is going on now?

What is it?

Oh, it's a fire alarm. You better get out.

Eric?

Mom. Let's get out of here. Come on. Come on.

Joe.

Damn. Devereaux's cover. That's what.

Go to infrared.

You set us up. Make sure Joe's okay.

Somebody downstairs.

Just

look

at that smoke, son of a...

We'll never get our hands on them now.

Good job.

Good

job.

I think we've got something.

Stay with her.

It's here somewhere.

Not on Devereaux. Not yet, anyway.

It's hard to zero in on it with all these people around.

I'm going down. Hand me my harness.

This thing breaks.

She's gonna need help.

Hang tough, Joe. This engine's coming to back you up.

Right. I'm gonna keep looking.

Yeah, yeah, I'm on it.

No rats?

Just one, Eric. Oh, there you are.

Any luck?

Well, whoever has our board keeps moving around. It hasn't come near Devereaux

yet. I'll see you on him.

Okay.

What the hell was that I don't know some kind of ultrasonic interference

Coming from inside the building Your heart get the

paramedics

Increase the power.

Override the jamming signal, Mike. Yeah, I'm trying, I'm trying.

I think

she has a pacemaker.

Must have malfunctioned.

The heartbeat's all over the map.

Yeah, I gotcha.

Yeah,

that's better.

We now return to regular scheduled programming.

Just fine, Deverell.

There are

pacemakers kicked back in.

She's stabilized?

Don't ask me how.

Stretcher, please!

She

should

be okay, man.

Yeah.

Listen, there's something strange about that fireman. I want to check our tapes.

You gonna be okay? Yeah. I'm gonna search the building again.

Let's see that tape.

Let's see it again.

Go to the other camera.

That's him. Look at his shoes.

Damn. Probably set that fire.

Who's less suspicious of the fire than a fireman?

Put a search out on him.

What's Devereaux doing now?

Looks like he's auditioning for a department store window.

Long before they have to call off the launch.

Not long enough.

Shuttle systems are go. Our team minus one hour and thirty minutes.

Roger.

Do make yourself at home, Miss Santini.

Your dinner's getting cold.

Personnel, prepare a clear gantry for launch at T-1 over in 20 minutes.

Gantry control vacating.

Do come in.

We don't want the neighbors to talk.

I think you've made a mistake.

Your mistake?

My pleasure.

Watching you watch me.

Don't make me resort to violence, Miss Santini.

It's so vulgar and so time-consuming to clean up.

Please.

Enjoy the food, the wine.

I prepared it especially for you.

It is the least I could do after causing you such a bother.

No, thanks.

It's perfectly safe.

One would never sully a Rothschild 37 with poison. It's just not done.

Look, why don't you just shoot me and get it over with? Oh, that would be

terribly unimaginative.

Now, a heart attack.

You caused Hannah's heart attack.

It's quite simple, really.

Ultrasonic waves muddling with the rhythm of a pacemaker.

All part of the game.

This isn't a game. No, but it is, my dear.

And this...

Here's my trump card.

Just a scrap of silicones with microchips, and yet men die for it.

Countries may even go to war for the lack of it.

If that is not gay, my dear, then what is?

Oscar, I sure wish you're a lot bigger right now.

Is he asleep or what?

Why don't we switch out of whisper mode, get the guy up.

Come on, move for... I don't like this. Let's take a closer

look. Go to infrared.

Oh yeah, that's one plastic spy in there. Must have made the switch while

we were jammed out.

Find Joe.

Funny, isn't it, Miss Santini?

An unsavory person we call an animal. And yet animals possess such charming

qualities. Trust, devotion, unquestioning loyalty.

The same qualities as a good spy.

Now what?

You don't really believe I'm flying in this solo, do you?

I'm in the pilot's seat.

You're bailing out.

Joe? Joe, do you read me?

She's gotta be there. Keep scanning.

No fuss now.

After all, we wouldn't want to hurt any innocent Feist actors, would we?

Let's just keep this between me and you.

I knew I shouldn't have left her down there. Take her in.

You think I'm just going to do a swan dive onto the pavement? You're crazier

than I thought.

Your choices are limited, my dear.

Body's underneath.

Sure you're okay?

Well, not a trace of it in his apartment or on the roof.

Find anything out here?

Nothing. Just doesn't make sense.

I saw it. He had to have it on him when he fell.

Unless he handed it off somehow.

But I was the only one with him.

What about you? You've been nothing but trouble.

You just do as you're told, or else your mommy and daddy are gonna get hurt.

That's the deal. Remember that.

Will Oscar come with us?

Guys, come on in.

Shut up.

What else does Interpol have to say about her?

She's a freelance agent.

No loyalties.

Goes out to the highest bidder.

Assumes she's one of the best in the business, too.

That's why Devereaux was so cool. He had a good backup.

I should have pegged her.

What about Eric?

Yeah, I thought about that too, so I ran his description through missing persons.

Seems he disappeared from the park a couple of days ago.

His parents must be going crazy.

Talk to me, Mike.

She's on the line with a kid.

In the alley.

Get back here, you rotten little...

Gotcha.

She's coming down your alley.

Oh, it's all right, Eric.

I'm going to take you to her. I'm sorry I didn't believe you.

It's going to be all right.

Oscar!

Ow! Ow! Get off me!

Okay, Oscar.

Ow! Get off me!

Good boy. Good boy. Nice one.

Lose it.

Nice one.

Yeah.

Stop! How much time's left on the launch?

Enough for one important phone call.

Where's the hardware, Annie?

You'll never find it.

We'll search it if we have to.

Go ahead.

Maybe he ate it.

Mike, call the launch pad.

Looks like we're going to have to scrub the mission.

Hold that call.

Eric, what's this thing?

Mike, cancel that.

Meet me on the roof and take this baby to the cave.

Good work, Eric.

We have liftoff. Ladies and gentlemen, we have liftoff. All right, I'm taking

her on home.

Good night, Irene.

Good night.

Oh, oh, it is wonderful.

You shouldn't have done such a thing. That's right, and it's got a vibrating

heating pad. It's got a stereo in the headrest and much, much more.

Mm-hmm.

You are all so kind.

We're just glad you're home safe and sound.

Yes, well, I still don't believe my Oscar was a spy.

Well, maybe not willingly, but he was going to be recruited.

Annie was going to take Oscar to Amsterdam. She figured he wouldn't look

in his jacket.

Hmm. Such awful people.

Oh, and the boy, he's all right?

You should have been there when we brought him home. I think his parents

had given up hope.

Oh, you can never give up hope.

That's one thing I have learned.

That is why I get so old.

Oh, I almost forgot. We have something for Oscar, too. Oh, thank you. Oh, look,

look.

It's the only color we could find.

He's a real member of the team now.

Probably turned out to be a real hot dog pilot, too.

It's a joke.

Thank you.
