All language subtitles for Scarecrow and Mrs. King S01E05 The ACM Kid.DVDRip.NonHI.en.WB.EN

Clemens has been
in there 20 minutes.

Maybe he's driving a hard
bargain for that information he took...

from the ACM plant.
Are we out of bean dip?

You see then, Vassily, what
happens when people don't cooperate.

Mr. Clemens here decided he didn't want
to do business with us anymore, either.

A very bad decision.

Make sure we don't have
neighbors nosing around outside.

Right.

- Now, let's discuss Aleksei.
- No.

- Who is it?
- Same guy.

He's taking another look around.

And he's going back in.

We're sure our
source is reliable?

Reliable as they are
in this kind of thing.

The informant's a secretary.

Yeah. Several
nights, after work...

she saw him slip into a project
area he had no business to be in.

Saw him with his
hand in the cookie jar.

She's sure it was the
satellite-surveillance project?

Yeah.

Vassily, we need Aleksei.

- Now, let's discuss this like friends.
- We are not friends.

Mr. Wilson's your friend.

When you came to this country,
sure helped you out of a jam or two.

Rented you this house,
gave you a job you needed.

He tell me he's on committee
to help people like me.

Then we find out job is for KGB.

We don't come to
America to spy for KGB.

Work's work. And it wasn't
really spying, just a little legwork.

If you got a problem about
Aleksei helping us out...

then let's just go and iron
this out with Mr. Wilson.

- Where's Aleksei?
- I don't know.

Then maybe Wilson
can help you remember.

- Aah! Help!
- Stop her.

Who are the man and the woman?
- No.

Beats me.

Where the hell is Jeff Clemens?

Okay, let's go.

Get in. LEE: Look out!

Let's get out of here.

Come on, get out
of the way, will you?

Come on, hit it. Hit it.

All right, follow
them. I'll go in there.

Freeze!

Okay. I'm frozen.

Now what?

Listen, I've got this real problem
here, and it's not exactly in my area...

so I thought I'd call you.

It's something that you
probably know all about.

I can only assume this is you...

because you're the only man I know who
doesn't say hello, doesn't ask how I am.

How are you? AMANDA Fine. You?

All right. I've got a real problem here.
I've got this kid that won't talk to me.

By "kid," do you mean
one of those girls you date?

No, I mean a kid.
As in child, as in boy.

I've spent $10 on junk food
and he won't open his mouth.

Ahh, his parents may
be in a lot... Oh, God.

Uh, stay right where you are. Don't go
anywhere. I'll call you later. Son of a...

Hey, kid. Hey, kid, come here.

Come here, will you?

No.

All right, kid.

All right, all right, all
right. Now, hold it, hold it.

Let go of me.

Uh-huh, you can talk.

You can't arrest me.
I ain't done nothing.

I'm not arresting you.
I'm trying to talk to you.

You have to tell me about these
men that came to your house.

Please, mister.
You're scaring me.

Please don't hurt me anymore.

- Anymore?
- Please?

All right.

But you promise not
to run away from me?

I promise. I don't
have anywhere to run.

Okay. Come on. Now, come on.

Okay. We wanna help
you find your parents.

But we need just a little
more cooperation on your part.

Oh, no.

All right. All right, all
right. Now, look, kid.

A truce, okay?
Five minutes. Okay?

- Now, I know you're scared.
- I'm not scared of nothing.

Oh, yeah.

- A tough guy, huh?
- Yeah.

Yeah, well, I was
a tough guy too.

I had to be tough, so no one
would know that I was really scared.

Now you're gonna tell me
about your lousy childhood.

You don't know what
a lousy childhood is.

Oh?

I lost my parents
when I was 4...

and got raised in a hundred Army
bases by an uncle that didn't like me.

So you top that, pal.

Some guy just got shot in my
living room, so you top that, pal.

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

That is lousy.

Look, you can't help
me and my parents...

so why don't you just let me go?

Because I think I can help you.
This is what I get paid for. Because...

What?

Because I'm bigger
than you, and I say so.

All right, Aleksei.

Now, let's start again.
At the very beginning.

You start again at the
beginning. I'm through talking.

You have no idea who those men
were who took your parents away?

Look, Aleksei, the car
with your parents in it...

got away from our men. We
don't know where your parents are.

How do you expect us to
help if you don't help us?

I never asked you to help me.

Actually, that's true,
Francine. He never did.

Oh, well, I'm glad you
find this so amusing.

I knew we had one of these
around here somewhere.

Now, Aleksei...

could I trade this for
a little cooperation?

Is this guy kidding
with this thing, or what?

It's after midnight. Ahem.

Let's adjourn.

Billy...

what about him?

They've got room at
Dojer Hall for tonight.

Come on, Billy, that place is a
nightmare. You can't take him there.

- We could always clap him in irons.
- Ha, ha. Yeah.

Listen.

What if I took him over
to my place for the night?

Okay, so I feel sorry for him.
What's the big deal? He's a scared kid.

Hey, blondie.

Can I get out of here now?

Enjoy yourself.

What are you doing here?

I had to take the boys to school,
and I was already halfway here.

I figured, why should
I go all the way home,

and then come all the
way back here? So...

- Coffee?
- Mm-hm.

Good.

You know, this reminds me of a
place I lived in while I was in college.

Mother saw it, and
she made me move.

So where's the little boy
you want me to babysit?

Getting dressed.

It'll only be for a couple hours
while I go in to the agency. You mind?

- No, no, I like kids.
- Ah.

Are you always this
punchy in the morning?

Are you always this perky?

Well, you know, I guess I'm just
what you'd call a morning person.

I guess you're just not what
you'd call a morning person.

Uh, look, are you sure you're
set up to take care of a child?

I mean, you know,
they need, uh...

Attention, someone to talk to.

No, what they need is food,
and you haven't got any.

Just what the hell do you call that
incredibly expensive Camembert?

Moldy.

Okay, kid, we're gonna
buy some groceries.

Remember, no running away.

- Maybe.
- Maybe what?

Maybe I will, and maybe I won't.

Yeah.

- What happens if I do?
- I'll shoot you.

- You wouldn't shoot me.
- No, I'll shoot you.

- No, you wouldn't.
- I'm telling you, kid, I'm a killer.

Hello.

Got the things you wanted
from your house, Aleksei.

- How'd you guys do at the grocery store?
- Good.

The fed here let
me do the shopping.

Six frozen pizzas and
a pound of brownies.

That all you got?

We must've left the beer in the
car. Thanks for reminding me.

Uh...

What are you doing,
going for father of the year?

Hey.

He's been through a bad time.

His parents came to
the U.S. when he was

little. He grew up in a
rotten neighborhood.

Whoever borrowed his parents
last night plays very rough.

We got a tip from an employee.

A Jeff Clemens was rummaging
around in the satellite-project area.

Now, the satellite is a
special surveillance job...

and, obviously, the bad guys would
love to find out what makes it tick.

And Aleksei's parents
are connected to all this?

Yeah, it looks like it.

Look, I gotta run. Here.

- Have a fun time with him, okay?
- Mm-hm.

I'll have one of our people
follow you around, just in case.

Just in case what?

Well, you know, just in
case some of our friends...

would also like to get
their hands on Aleksei.

- Really?
- Yes, Amanda.

Danger, excitement, intrigue.

Oh, shut up.

What were you able to
get out of Clemens' wife?

Ex-wife. Apparently, the man
had a real gambling problem.

That's what broke up the marriage.
He kept coming home later and later.

Hung out at a place
called The Lug Wrench Bar.

That's where a lot of
ACM people go after work.

He'd always find a
game going, always lose.

Owed her back alimony, child support,
started taking loans to support gambling.

We've seen this kind of thing.
Average guy gets in over his head.

He has access to
sensitive material...

the other side would
pay an arm and a leg for.

If he's desperate enough,
sometimes the temptation's too much.

Let's put you in there for a
while, see if we get a nibble.

But I wonder what all this
has to do with Aleksei's folks.

Tell the King woman
to keep her ears open.

And how's she getting
along with Aleksei?

Ha, ha, you know Amanda. She's
got motherhood carved on her bones.

She's having the
time of her life.

Aleksei, I am not gonna tell
you about this one more time.

- What are you, a cop?
- You are 12 years old.

Everyone smokes in
the dives I hang out in.

Well, not in the
dives I hang out in.

Now, look, um, would you like
a strawberry milkshake or...?

I kicked strawberry
milkshakes when I was 2.

All right.

Is there anything
that you would like?

Yeah. Can I play some more?

You've already
played four times.

Come on, please? Just
a couple more times.

- Mm-mm. No. No.
- Please?

Come on. I saw the
wad Lee gave you.

All right. A couple more times.

I'll get change.

Mr. Wilson?

It's about time you showed up.

They're watching me.

- Where are my parents?
- Someplace safe. For the moment.

You know, we
still need your help.

Be here tonight.

I can't. I told you,
they're watching me.

You have an IQ of 185.

You'll think of something.

- Please don't hurt my parents.
- If you're not here...

I'll do more than
just hurt them.

You want another hacksaw?

Yeah. Listen, I don't suppose
you could tell a poor cowboy...

where he could find
himself a little action.

What kind of action?

Poker, ponies, pinball, anything
with odds. Back at Polly's in Houston...

Why don't you ask one
of these ACM guys here?

They usually have a game
going. That'll be $3.50.

- Uh, you take a check? I'm short on cash.
- Oh, I should have known.

Another ACM deadbeat.

- Say what?
- You guys are the only people I know...

who knock down $50,000 a
year and never have a dime.

Listen, lady, I got me an ex-wife
and a couple little mouths to feed.

Didn't they teach you sympathy
back in bartender school?

I cut class.

Hell, the check's good.

Come on. Can we be friends?

- Ricky Joe Jackson. Put her there.
- Nice to meet you.

- I'm home.
- In here.

Oh, where have you been?

With Fred.

Fred? Dr. Fred Bain?
The chiropodist?

Did you know that feet
were erogenous zones?

- What?
- Hmm.

Of course, it's different
with every person...

but Fred and I have determined I
carry a lot of passion in my arches.

- Mother. PHILIP: Hi,
Mom. Hi, Grandma.

Hi. JAMIE: Hi, Mom. Hi, Grandma.

Hi, boys. You
having a good time?

Yeah. Aleksei's teaching
us how to roll a drunk.

- Aleksei?
- Aleksei Kalnikov.

Oh.

A little boy from school?

No, the feds got him
in protective custody.

- Why don't you show Aleksei your bike?
- He's already seen it, Mom.

Uh, he won it off
me in a crap game.

What?

Uh, Amanda, who is this child?

I'm glad you asked me that.

You see, I volunteered to keep
him. I joined a Big Sister program...

and we take children from
broken or deprived homes...

and we show them
good, healthy role models.

- Well, that's nice.
- Yes.

Why do the feds have
him in protective custody?

I'm glad you asked that.

Yeah, why do they?

Look, take this and
share it with Aleksei, huh?

- Hello.
- Mom, have you smelled this?

Go. Go.

Hello?

Uh, look, I can't talk now.

Oh, uh.

Well, I hope you're not
gonna be much longer.

I gotta work late. I don't wanna
leave Aleksei alone in my apartment.

So could you...?

Keep him here?

Well, I think that's a ho...

Really splendid idea.

- You do?
- Yes.

Well, we wouldn't wanna
undo all the good we've done...

by sending him back to that
hellhole he was in this morning.

Now, watch it, will you?

I'll keep a security
man out in the street.

Billy wants you to keep an ear open in
case Aleksei says something that might...

Well, you can... You can get
off my back, is what you can do.

You got the house,
the car, the kid.

You make it work out.

- Ex-wives.
- Yeah.

Yeah.

I'm used to taking care of
myself. I can make my own bed.

That's good.

And don't you try to kiss me or tuck
me in, because you're not my mother.

I know, Aleksei, and I would
never try to be your mother.

But I would like
to be your friend.

There's no
percentage in friends.

You can't count on them.

Aleksei...

you've got to learn
to trust people.

Now, look.

Do you remember in Peter
Pan when Tinkerbell was dying...

and her little light was
flickering and fading...?

You talk to little
kids a lot, don't you?

Well, yeah, you know,
with two boys of my own, I...

You should get out more.

Okay, look, try this.

You're in my house, and as
long as you're in my house...

I'm gonna act like your
friend, no matter what.

And I expect the
same thing from you.

So now you can get
in bed and go to sleep...

and in the morning, you
can give Jamie his bike back.

You know...

you're tougher than the fed.

Really?

I want that in writing.

I got the credit network.

Whoa! This guy's
in up to his eyeballs.

Owes back alimony,
several loans outstanding...

canceled credit cards.

Our kind of guy.

All right, now access the
ACM personnel computer.

Why can't we get into the
satellite-project computer that easy?

You only get into these computers
with the access code word.

Getting into a credit
computer is one thing.

But the codes for these
projects are top-secret.

They sit on those
babies like golden eggs.

Security classification, please.

Excellent.

Only five days remain
until the satellite launch.

Perhaps our Mr. Jackson can be persuaded
to hatch a golden egg for us by then.

I gotta go.

I think, Aleksei, it would
be best if you stayed with us.

No way. And don't
you try to stop me.

I left a note back
where I'm staying.

If I don't tear it up before they find
it, they'll know right where you are.

Now, get busy with this
Jackson person, Becker.

Once that satellite starts sending
messages to the ACM computer...

our people want to
know everything it knows.

You want to help your
parents, you help me.

Oh, Dean, that's wonderful.
Tri-city weather forecaster of the year.

A trophy? What kind of a trophy?

An aluminum sun.

Gesundheit.

Look, I told you you should
have taken your rain poncho.

Yeah, well, okay. Well, I'll
see you when you get here.

Okay. All right, bye-bye.

Uh, Aleksei, your clothes
are out of the dryer.

Good.

Thank you. You really shouldn't have
bothered. Oh, no, Aleksei, no problem.

Really, no problem at all. Amanda,
you're really much too kind...

- Darling, you're talking to yourself.
- Oh.

Well, how are you and
young Dillinger getting along?

Oh, we're, uh... We're
making progress.

Did you notice Aleksei's
sweatshirt at dinner last night?

- No, why?
- Well, it's torn.

I'm sure it wasn't
torn last night.

- You're barefoot.
- Oh, yes.

Well, Fred says that
feet strangle in shoes.

He recommends letting them
breathe until at least noon.

Hmm.

Speaking of feet...

which one of our three little
hooligans has trampled my rosebushes?

- What?
- The ones by the front fence.

Two of them are
absolutely squished.

Now, I cannot imagine
when that happened.

I was in the
garden until late...

and I was out there
first thing this morning.

Strange, isn't it?

Yeah, it's, uh...

It's very strange.

So she says to me, "Now, don't
you bother taking your boots off...

because I just love cowboys."

Hey, darling, how about
another round of beer here, huh?

Oh, no thanks. Noon is too
early for me to lose it, R.J.

Well, Beck, old boy, I can't
lose what I no longer have.

Oh, thank you, sweetheart. How
about I cut you for the tab, huh?

Oh, that's okay. You
just write me a check.

Oh, well.

Here you go.

Oh, damn.

Now you see why I'm so broke.
Most ex-wives just pick up the phone.

Not mine. She jumps on a plane.

Excuse me for a minute, huh?

The alimony check
is in the mail, sugar.

Well, I had to see you,
Ricky Joe. It's about the boy.

Well, now is not
the time, honey.

Well, something is definitely
going on with him, honey.

- I think he ran away last night.
- You think?

Well, he came back.

But he trampled the
flowers in Mother's garden.

Mother has been staying with
me, you know, ever since you left.

I gotta go back to work now...

or I might screw up my
job totally, if you savvy.

You just have to keep an eye on him.
Come to my place tonight, and we'll talk.

Tell me I stink.

You stink.

Throw my drink in my face.

And, frankly, Ricky Joe, sex with you
was always a major disappointment.

Ham.

Well, heh...

Whoo.

Thank you.

Still a lot of
unresolved anger there.

Look at this.

Ricky Joe, uh, I know you
gotta get back to work soon...

but do you have just a minute?
I'd like to talk a little business.

Yeah.

I promised him 2 grand for
a couple of personnel files.

- We got Jeff Clemens for half that.
- We got half the time we had with him.

If this cowboy comes through with
something simple like personnel records...

he may be ready to
graduate to the big time.

Here.

Now, look...

I tell you, I still don't
feel right about this.

I never did anything
like this in my life.

Always a first time.

My associate, Jack Coughlin.

How do you do? LEE: Yeah.

This ought to
help ease the pain.

- Yeah.
- We'll be in touch.

No, thanks. Don't bother.

Cowboy gets an A.

Good. Next we'll
go for the codebook.

We keeping the kid around
to verify the codes for us?

That's the only reason we're keeping him.
Once we're into the satellite computer...

Wilson wants the kid and
his parents blown away.

They're too much trouble.

Hello. LEE: Hi.

I made a completely unnourishing
meal. Aleksei is bound to love it.

Well, how'd it go today?

- Did you beat up on him?
- No, no, not too much.

I'm actually
beginning to like him.

You know they've lived in 11 places
since they moved here from Russia?

No wonder he doesn't believe in
friends. He hasn't had time to make any.

- See? I knew he'd grow on you.
- Oh.

- What is all this stuff?
- Oh, I picked up some things for him.

- Where is he?
- Oh, you hold it.

He's in the bathroom in the
bathtub. Let him stay there.

It took me an hour and a half to
get him in. Let's see what you got.

Well, we've got your "Death
Demon," "Space Dinosaur"...

Hmm.

And the ever popular
"Swamp Humanoids."

- Ha, ha.
- Very good.

You know, it looks like you're
sort of, uh, spoiling the kid rotten...

or either you're trying
to, um, buy his affections.

You know, you could definitely buy
mine with this guy. This guy is gorgeous.

- I...
- He might like him.

Where'd my apartment go?

Well, I just, you know,
dusted a few things off...

maybe threw away a
couple of old newspapers.

Oh, no, you...

You went and drowned
my Tibetan ram's horn.

"Understanding Sabotage:
A Beginner's Guide."

- That's not mine.
- That's mine.

Billy gave it to me.
It's on my reading list.

Ah...

You've taken over the place.

It's not that it's, uh... It just
looks nice and neat and tidy.

It looks like you live here, and not
me. Not that I'm not grateful, of course.

You know, I think Aleksei was right
when he said that we were incompatible.

Aleksei said that?

Actually, he said,
"Lee's fun. You're a drag."

You know, he's not all that bad.

I mean, some kids
deserve, uh, a little spoiling.

Life's not easy.

And it's a lot harder
for a scared kid.

You know, maybe he pretends to be
tough so no one will know how scared he is.

If I didn't know better...

I'd swear you were speaking
from personal experience.

Uh, you're not kidding.

- Did I ever tell you about my childhood?
- No.

Yeah, I didn't think so.

All right. All right, what...?

- Where are my Rolling Stones albums, hmm?
- Under S. Stones, Rolling.

Look, all I'm saying is
put up with the kid, huh?

Just a little bit longer? I'm
sorry if he, uh, snuck out on you.

I'm not sure that he did. I just
don't want him to get hurt, you know?

I mean, I think he knows a
lot more than he's telling us.

And I think maybe he
tried to contact his parents.

He might have. And he sure as
hell may know more than he's saying.

But he's scared to death,
and he's not telling us a thing.

Hmm.

- What?
- Aw, nothing.

I was just thinking that
maybe you tough guys...

aren't as tough as
I thought you were.

- Candy, darling.
- Hey, cowboy.

- Hi, Ricky Joe. LEE:
How you doing, partner?

Good. You remember my
associate, Jack Coughlin.

- Yeah. Howdy.
- Good to see you again.

You slicks wanna join
me for a drink? I'm buying.

No, Jack's gotta get a haircut.
Let's step back here for a second.

- Well, I kind of wanna get a beer here...
- We gotta talk.

Well, sure.

Ricky Joe, my friend
and I need a little help.

Help that you can provide.

- Hey, I owe you boys. Talk to me.
- Remember how you were able...

to get those
personnel files for us?

- Yep.
- Well, we need a little more information.

Oh.

Who is it you fellas wanna
check up on this time?

We need access to the new
surveillance-satellite computer.

Now, whoa right there.
That's way out of my league.

I ain't interested in treason.

How interested are you in losing
your job and gaining a police record?

- Now, you just wait a minute...
- Ricky Joe.

You got financial
troubles that won't quit...

gambling debts that
could be called in any time.

And now you've gone and
stolen confidential files...

from a high-security
organization.

- A word to the wrong people...
- You threatening me?

That's right, cowboy.

And we mean business, I promise
you. Now, you get us that entry codebook.

Now, ordinarily, I'd be obliged.

But you can...

I love my work too...

but, uh, you wouldn't catch me
letting thugs pound on my body.

Fine. You wouldn't catch me in a
hotel room with a Turkish gunrunner.

I did not go to a hotel
room. It was a suite.

All right. So they're convinced
you're scared of them.

- Are you making the drop tonight?
- Yeah. Is that phony codebook ready?

Just like the real thing,
with one minor exception.

One of these transmitters will
be hidden in the spine of the book.

Dane and I will be in the van.
Once you make the handoff...

we're gonna follow the homing
device to the KGB computer.

- Are we sure it's KGB?
- With this satellite involved...

I don't think it's a gang in Harlem.
- Heh.

How are you getting
along with Aleksei?

Well, you don't get along with
Aleksei. You get around him.

I don't know why you keep calling this
your case. I am the one that's with him.

Well, I think it's a little
bit more than babysitting.

Yes, of course he can
stay here another night.

Yes, I am proud to be serving my
country in this meaningful way, mm-hm.

All right, fine, I'll see you
tomorrow. Yes. Goodbye.

Mother.

That was the Big Sister people.

They wanna know if it would be all
right if Aleksei spends another night.

- Do you mind?
- Uh, no. No, heh, heh. Not at all.

I'll just go hide
the silver again.

Mother, wait a minute. Listen.

Could I ask you, how do you get a
kid like Aleksei to open up to you...

you know, to trust you?

- He probably thinks you don't trust him.
- I trust him.

Well, I... I try to trust him.

Children are like Chihuahuas,
Amanda. They smell mistrust.

You've got to give him
the benefit of the doubt.

You believe the best, you
will get the best, I always say.

- Thank you, Mother.
- I'll just go attend to the silver.

- Aleksei, could I see you for a minute?
- I got things to do. I'm busy.

Aleksei...

you get yourself
down here right now.

I'm the tough one, remember?

What?

I'm not so tough,
and you know it.

Look, I wish I knew
what to say to you.

I wish I had the right
words to reach you.

But, you know, I don't, um...

If you were my boy, I would
put my arms around you...

and I would tell you that
I know you're scared...

and that everything's
gonna be all right.

Uh, but I do want you to know...

that, well, I trust you...

and I want you to trust me.

And I like you.

You really like me?

Yeah, I do. I really like you.

Oh, I never said I
wasn't the hugging type.

I trust him. I trust him.

I really trust him.

He's gone. He went out the back.

Look, if you go this way, I'll
take my car and go that way.

- Aleksei. What are you doing?
- Well, well.

If it isn't Mrs. Ricky Joe.

Aleksei?

Okay, he's about to
reach the drop-off point.

Ooh.

Hey, ha, ha.

You boys nearly knocked my
eyeballs out with them lights.

Y'all sure can pick
the meeting places.

Ricky Joe...

you can cut the cornpone.

I thought the idea was
to keep him at your house.

Well, what was I
supposed to do, tie him up?

- Well, better him than us.
- Quiet back there.

I thought so.

He must have given
it to them by now.

- What happened? Malfunction?
- That or they're onto us.

Either way, we have
no way of following now.

So now Soviet agents are
operating out of video arcades.

I can't believe we had Aleksei all this
time, then he turns out to be the key.

Well, he couldn't talk. They
were threatening his parents.

What do you think
they're gonna do to us?

If you were them,
what would you do?

I only wish they hadn't
found that homing device.

Amanda, I learned a long time ago,
in this business you can't look back.

Yeah, it just doesn't seem like I
have too much to look forward to.

Hey, ha, ha.

I wanted to say I'm sorry
you're tied up in this closet.

I don't suppose you
came here to untie us.

No. They'd shoot my parents.

I gotta go.

Oh, they think that codebook
you gave them is probably phony.

- They're probably right.
- That's what I figured.

I'll punch phony codes into the
computer. It'll buy you some time.

Aleksei, just this little
knot right over here.

- No.
- Come on.

Aleksei, listen.

We're not asking you to choose
between us and your parents.

- No.
- Helping us won't get them hurt.

- Shot.
- Shot. It won't get them shot.

Look, Aleksei. This is Lee Stetson. He
is one of the top agents in the country.

Now, if you'll just untie us,
he will rescue your parents...

and he'll stop these
people, trust me.

- Yeah.
- If he's so hot...

what's he doing
tied up in a closet?

Perfectly good question.

I gotta go.

- I really am sorry.
- Oh, come on, Aleksei.

- No.
- Aleksei.

- No.
- Come on, just untie...

One of the top
agents in this country?

Too much? I sensed it
right away. Too much.

The sun's coming up.

Is the book a fake or not?

I can't be sure. Got a
lot of combinations here.

Try a few more...

on the remote chance
one of those codes...

might get us into the computer
before the satellite launch.

And grab the other
loose end with your teeth.

Okay.

Now hold tight while
I work on the knot.

Don't bite me. Don't bite me.

- Just hold still.
- All right.

The entire book is
obviously counterfeit.

Where does that leave us?

We'll have to abandon
our operation here...

attack the problem
from a new direction.

What about Stetson
and the woman?

Get rid of them.

Okay. You win. We've
gotta get out of here.

They got my parents tied up in a
vacant store in the mall. You're untied.

Yeah. One of the
top agents in the c...

Shh, shh.

Tilt it over. Block it.

See if you can find your
parents and let them out.

- Lee.
- What?

Aleksei, wait. Come back.

Lee!

Stop. Get back in the car.

Like I said. One
of the top agents...

No, no, no. No, don't say it.

Oh, okay. Say it.

Hmm?

- Say it.
- Humph.

Oh, Amanda, that
feels wonderful.

Well, good, I'm glad, Dean.

So did you hear the news about
what happened at Pepper Tree Mall?

Spies, heh!

Right there operating
out of a video arcade.

Isn't that amazing?
Right there in the suburbs.

Uh... Uh, no, Dean, I
didn't hear a thing about it.

- Really?
- Yeah.

Hmm, some Russian kid
and his parents were involved.

Apparently, against their will.

So everything's gonna
turn out for them all right.

It was all over the
radio. It was on television.

Well, you know, I've been
pretty busy with the boys.

Um...

Speaking of the kids, uh...

Jamie will be coming to
the movies with us tonight.

Since when?

Since he rolled a
seven and I crapped out.

I'll get it.

Amanda? Who is it?
