Original subtitles

You're about to be let in on the most highly classified data America holds.

We have a device that can allow us to send one human being back in time.

Seven days.

The music. Turn it louder.

The same song over and over is driving me crazy.

He wants more root beer and more aspirin.

He's gone through four cases of soda and two bottles of aspirin in three days.

His head hurts.

Maybe if we turn off the damn music.

Quiet, you fool.

We're dealing with genius here.

Whatever Walter wants, Walter gets.

Right, monsieur?

A bottle of aspirin and soda.

I'm on the phone, and I'm all alone.

I call mom, but in my time she ain't home.

So now I'm at 17.

I find some friends who believe like I believe.

I find some friends who achieve like I achieve.

I take a look in my brain.

I take a trip.

Wait. Slow over, Walter. Leave.

Oh, head hurts now.

I know, poor baby.

Don't stop. Not yet.

Just slow down a little bit.

Four, B, Z, K, seven, six, nine, seven, D.

D.

Four, B, Z, K, seven.

Did he break the code?

He did it.

We're in.

Yes.

God, remember Bangkok?

Oh, you had to mention that.

Our contact had booked us into this disgusting little hotel as Dick and Jane Tobler.

So, of course, the proprietor assumes...

He gives us the honeymoon suite.

...which had a single bed and a lamp with no bulbs.

Yeah, and we'd been up for, what, 52 hours straight at this point?

And they forgot to mention the local custom.

Quail eggs under the pillows. It's a newlywed thing.

So when he woke up, his head was stuck to the sheets.

I had the stuff in my ear.

And he's got this look on his face, like, what did we do last night?

How amusing.

Oh, you know, this has been so much fun, Frankie.

I forgot to mention how sorry I was to hear about your divorce.

Oh, that was two years ago.

I know, but I know how much you love Pamela.

Polly. Uh, Patricia.

You've been awfully quiet tonight.

I don't even know why you invited me along.

You two had so much to talk about.

Yeah, we did have some funny times.

And the lobsters keep on coming, don't they?

Not to mention all that footsie-wootsie under the table.

What footsie-wootsie?

You know exactly what I'm talking about.

I do not.

Do so.

Do not.

Do so.

I hate to say goodbye, but I have to catch an early flight to Paris in the morning.

It was a pleasure, Doctor.

Mine also.

And you.

We have to do this again soon, Frankie.

Yeah.

Love to.

Bye.

Get an ambulance.

We're in an ambulance at 318 Yucca Street.

Someone's been shot.

What happened? Are Frankie and Hugo all right?

They're fine, but their dinner companion was murdered.

Charlotte's dead?

We've got incoming reports that within the last 48 hours,

19 deep-cover CIA operatives around the world have been systematically terminated.

And Charlotte's death is related?

What's particularly disturbing is that all the dead

agents' names and M.O.'s only appear in one place.

Jasmine.

Jasmine?

It took the Pentagon's encryption experts four years to come up with a Jasmine code.

It was supposed to be unbreakable.

We've got a security breach that goes all the way to the core.

Any updates, Nate?

The FBI's been tracking a Chinese group in L.A., encryption-decryption experts.

Could be bingo.

Only we lost track of them the last two weeks.

A surveillance team got made, and they disappeared into the woodwork.

Great.

But hold on.

We may be on the trail again.

And?

A Delta team's been dispatched in L.A.

They're moving as we speak.

Let's go.

Let's go!

Let me go!

I'm on orders.

Walter is too valuable to kill.

We have to bring him back.

I'm the one who found him, Peter.

If we take him back to Beijing, all we get is a pat on the head and another medal.

Then what would you do?

Sell him to the highest bidder.

Yes!

If Walter broke the Jasmine Code, think of what else he might be capable of.

How much money other countries would pay.

You know I love you, Michelle.

But we're patriots, not mercenaries.

We must complete our mission.

Don't you love me anymore?

Don't be silly.

You're a scientist.

You're right, Peter.

I don't love you anymore.

All these agents are dead.

Frank, I'm sorry about Charlotte.

Talk to me proudly.

Tell me you know who's responsible for this carnage.

Somebody broke the Jasmine Code.

We're not sure who.

But we've got the location they were working out of and a name.

Walter.

Who the hell's Walter?

It's probably a code name of some sort.

CIA prepared a profile on him.

He's most likely an American, a computer scientist

who's been involved at the highest levels of government intelligence.

Probably ticked off about some damn thing or other.

He's vulnerable to foreign influence or bribery of some sort.

Just makes me want to puke.

I know it's not much to go on, Frank, but it's day seven.

We've got to backstep now.

You want me to find this traitor and bring him in?

No.

Your mission is to locate Walter and terminate him.

We're talking extreme prejudice, Parker.

I don't think that's going to be a problem, Nate.

Whoever this Walter is, he's all mine.

The Jasmine Code broken?

That's flat out impossible.

Well, it happened, Ramsey, and guess what?

It's going to happen again, today, in two hours.

I'm not going to argue about this, all right?

All right, Frank, calm down.

No, you calm down.

We already wasted seven days on the other side of the timeline getting damn near zip.

What do we have, Frank?

A code name and a target location.

An authorization to terminate with extreme prejudice.

We'll send a Delta team to meet you.

Where's that location?

1224, Old Sand Way.

In the basement.

But I'm not waiting around.

Walter's probably trying to break Jasmine Code as we speak.

Delta team come clean up after I'm done.

Ciao.

That means that it's only me in this world.

Hello, Walter.

Hello, Walter.

You are Walter, are you?

I can't stop. I'm not supposed to stop.

Answer me. Is your name Walter?

Walter, yeah.

I'm Walter.

Well, kiss your sorry ass goodbye, Walter.

I gotta get into Jasmine's past.

That's what Peter says, because I gotta get into Jasmine's past.

I don't think that's gonna happen somehow.

Oh.

Lions and tigers and bears are mine.

Lions and tigers and bears are mine.

Lions and tigers and bears are mine.

Lions and tigers and bears are mine.

All right, all right, enough already.

What the hell's the matter with you?

You all doped up or what?

Not a dope, Savant.

Then why do me, Walter?

Savant, autistic Savant.

I'm high functioning.

Who's here besides you?

I don't know.

You don't know? What do you mean you don't know?

I don't know.

Have you managed to get into Jasmine's past yet?

Not yet.

I like comic books.

I like the Blue Avenger.

It's too blue.

It's too blue.

This is the Blue Avenger, number 139, volume 6, May 1999.

It's published in Canada, all rights reserved.

You're not lying, are you?

You really are autistic Savant.

I'm high functioning.

Oh, man.

Very high functioning.

Walter?

Don't shoot, please.

Who the hell are you?

Amy, Kim.

They kidnapped us, Walter and me, from the institution. I'm his caretaker.

What caretaker?

He won't work without me.

They kidnapped us for whatever project they were working on.

Oh, yeah? Who's they?

Don't you know?

Aren't you here to rescue us?

Stay where you are.

Walter.

Shh, I'm hiding.

Walter, look at me.

I'm hiding.

It doesn't matter who you are. You've just got to get us out of here.

All right.

We're leaving.

Come on, Walter.

Move. Move!

Where is he?

Shoot!

Don't shoot! You might hit him, Walter!

What's wrong, Walter?

I want to feed the pigeons.

Sure, we'll feed the pigeons. Just get in the car.

No, I always take the bus to feed the pigeons.

Today we're doing things a little differently.

No, I want to take the bus.

I want to take the bus.

Run!

Hey, hey!

Stop the bus! Stop the bus!

Open up! Open up!

Don't cut me off!

Has the target been terminated?

No, he's here with me.

Parker, what's he doing alive?

He's, uh, looking for pigeons.

Frank, you laid this out. This was your assignment.

Yeah, well, the assignment's changed, Bradley.

That profile Langley worked up on him was all wrong.

Walter's not some disaffected scientist turned traitor.

He's an autistic savant.

He's retarded?

Not like you, Ramsay, but yeah.

He's, uh, apparently some kind of genius.

Well, I don't care if he's the next Einstein.

Your orders were clear, Parker.

Walter doesn't have any idea what Jasmine is.

For him, it's just another problem to work out.

He doesn't fully appreciate the ramifications of what he does.

In other words, he's innocent. Is that what you're saying?

Did you send a strike team out to Chinatown?

That location was clear by the time we got there.

Then the Chinese who had Walter are gonna be looking for us.

Look, you gotta call off the hit on Walter.

Send a team to pick us up.

All right, Frank.

I'll get the NSA to call off the termination order.

We'll send a team for you.

Good.

There's a coffee shop just off the park near Oak and Fifth.

We'll be there.

There's no pigeons here today.

No.

You hungry, Walter?

Yeah, I want a hot dog now

with a straight line of mustard and a squiggly line of ketchup.

We can manage that. Come on.

No, thank you.

I wanted to ask you,

the people that you were with, Amy... I don't know no Amy.

Your caretaker,

the woman who shot that guy I was fighting with.

Oh, that's Michelle.

Michelle?

Yeah.

What's her last name?

I don't know.

Well, where did you meet her?

I met her at the halfway house after the institution.

She said that she worked with artistic events and Beijing.

Get out of the way!

Stupid spaz!

Hey, watch your language, kid.

Stupid spaz.

No, he didn't mean that.

I'm a spaz.

No, you're not.

Yeah, I'm a spaz.

I'm a spaz.

Stick with artistic cement.

I'm a spaz.

That's nice, Walter.

Coffee, boys?

Yeah, thanks.

Hey, what's wrong with him?

He's a spaz.

He's an artistic savant.

Oh, yeah, I saw a program on TV about people like him.

Is he real good with numbers?

I don't know.

You good with numbers, Walter?

What's 1,634 times 6,432?

25.

I guess math isn't his thing.

Would you like some coffee, hon?

How about root beer?

I want root beer.

Root beer, thanks.

With a straw.

Yeah, and a straw.

Walter, I wanted to ask you... Oh, that's the pigeons.

We got food coming, Walter.

I wanted to ask you,

how are you trying to break the jasmine code?

Well, there's patterns.

Leaves have patterns and snowflakes have patterns

and Michelle says everything has patterns.

Michelle kept wanting you to see patterns in the jasmine code.

Yeah.

Wait here.

I'm looking for a pattern.

Can I borrow your cards for a second?

Just for a second.

Thanks.

Where are you going? Do you have an appointment or something?

Come on, sit your ass down.

Sit my ass down.

How many cards, Walter?

Fifty-one.

So the deck's short a card.

Jack of spades.

What's the first card I'm going to turn over?

Four of hearts.

Six of clubs.

Ace of diamonds.

Queen of diamonds.

Nine of hearts. Seven of clubs.

King of spades.

Where were you my last poker game?

Two of diamonds. Jack of hearts. Eight of clubs.

Okay. Okay. Okay.

What's wrong?

My head hurts.

It hurts when you concentrate?

Yeah, it hurts when I try to find the patterns.

We're not going to do that anymore, okay?

Okay. Okay. I'm tired.

I know. I know. You've been through a lot.

Yeah, I've been through a lot.

Your beer.

Thanks.

Nice root beer with a straw.

But, General, you don't understand.

Walter could be highly valuable to us.

But he's...

What, he hung up on you?

The NSA still considers Walter extremely dangerous.

They won't retract his hard target status.

It's not fair.

Yeah, well, life isn't fair.

It's not fair. You know my name.

I don't know your name.

Oh, Frank.

My name's Frank.

The Blue Avenger's name's Frank.

It's Frank Adams.

It's a secret identity.

I used to read The Blue Avenger.

I know all about Frank Adams.

He was a film buff.

His favorite movie was The Wizard of Oz.

Yeah, lions and tigers and bears go wild.

That's right.

The cavalry arrives.

Wait here.

Oh, okay, Frank.

Clark, you're actually here.

Right where you said you'd be.

But wonders never cease.

That Walter?

Yeah, that's him. Now, uh,

you're just here to bring him in, right?

Yeah, right. Let's go.

Well, I think I should take him outside.

He's a little sensitive.

Yeah, right.

Come on, Walter, let's go.

Wait a minute.

Is that Frank Parker?

Yeah.

Frank?

Yeah.

Yeah, what is it, Ramsey?

Frank?

Yeah, they're here. They're taking him out back.

Oh, that sucks.

That sucks.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, hold on there, Parker.

We got this one.

Hey, none of your business.

I'm here just to, uh, finish the assignment, Parker.

You know, the one you couldn't handle.

You okay?

Yeah, I'm okay.

Why didn't you call her off?

Didn't you tell them what I said?

I told them they weren't swayed by the fact that he's autistic.

Are you all right? Have you had your arm looked at yet?

No, because by now the NSA's told the hospitals

to be on the lookout for an autistic savant

and not some idiot with a gunshot wound.

Frank, I'm sending Ramsey to bring you in himself.

And what about Walter?

Is Ramsey gonna bring him in, too, or is he under the same orders to terminate?

If Walter can do everything you say he can, Frank,

he can be an incredible asset for us.

Can't wait to meet him.

That doesn't answer my question.

Can you get to John Wayne Airport?

Yeah.

I'll have Ramsey meet both of you there.

I don't trust Ramsey.

Frank, he's under orders to escort both you and Walter back to NNL alive.

Is he telling the truth, Olga?

Yes, Mr. Parker. He is.

Can you make it to the airport by 1400 hours?

We'll be there.

You're one tough guy to hang out with, Walter.

Yeah, I know.

Do you?

No.

Oh, it's nothing. It's just a flesh wound.

It's just a flesh... The Blue Avenger had a flesh wound

when he fought the Programmer of the Matrix.

Yeah, I know that one.

The Programmer was a mean son of a... I want another hot dog now

with a straight line of mustard and a squiggly line of ketchup.

Oh, Walter, that's what I got you.

You got straight mustard... No, that's not straight.

That's not straight.

I want another one.

Got a favorite color, Walter?

Yeah.

What is it?

It's blue. True blue.

And blue it is.

So, uh, what's your last name, Walter?

Mud.

Walter Mud?

My father used to say, boy, your name is Mud, and he'd hit me for being wrong.

What do you mean he'd hit you for doing something wrong?

He'd say, boy, you are wrong.

He'd say, how did I ever end up with a kid like you?

He said it was my mom's fault.

What did your mother say?

She said, ow.

You hit your mother, too?

Hey, he's a hard hitter,

but I'm a good hider.

My mother hid me in the closet with the Blue Avenger issue 27289.

published in Canada,

all rights reserved.

Well, at least your mother tried to protect you.

Yeah, my mother tried to protect me.

That's the Blue Avenger.

That's the Blue Avenger.

Oh, Walter, Walter, we're moving!

Walter!

Walter, you can't go jumping out of cars like that.

Come on.

I want a Blue Avenger comic book.

We've got stuff to do.

I want the Blue Avenger comic book.

Okay, which one?

Blue Avenger number two.

It's a good choice.

$175.

You don't want that one.

I want this one.

No, you don't.

Hey, Walter.

Guys, do you want it or not?

His name's Frank.

There's Frank on him.

It's just like the Blue Avenger.

Cool, but it's still $175.

Okay.

Keep the change.

Come on, Walter.

Walter's got a transponder on him.

In his belt buckle.

It's his favorite belt.

He wears it every day, don't you, Walter?

Yeah, I wear it every day.

Frank bought me the Blue Avenger.

It was very nice of you, Frank.

Don't mention it, Amy.

I mean, Michelle.

Now, why don't you bring yourself to that counter and spread your legs?

Hey, could you guys take this outside, please?

Certainly.

Oh, come on.

You didn't have to do that.

I'm hiding.

Frank, I'm hiding now.

Frank Parker.

National Security Agency.

I would have thought CIA or FBI.

How did you find us, Mr. Parker?

Just lucky, I guess.

Where's Walter?

The Blue Avenger.

Frank.

There you are.

Walter, come on.

It's all right, poor baby.

Everything's going to be all right now.

We're going home.

Don't worry, Walter.

Nobody's going to hurt you.

He's not worried about himself.

He's worried about me.

You're wrong, Mr. Parker.

Walter has no feelings for other people.

It's the nature of being autistic.

I don't know.

He seemed pretty happy when I bought him that comic book.

It's the Blue Avenger, number two.

$175.

Walter.

Do you have any feelings for Frank?

I don't know.

Well, think about it, little one.

Do you care whether or not Frank lives or dies?

I don't know.

He has a flesh wound.

Well, I'll tell you what.

Peter will take Frank to the doctor.

while you and I go get us a fruit beer.

Lions, lions, lions.

Sun lions and tigers and bears.

Bring him.

Come on, it's okay.

It's okay.

Not coming.

I knew it.

The one time I go against everything I'm sworn to do

and that son of a bitch doesn't even show up.

Give me the phone.

That felt good.

How was it for you, Parker?

Good for you.

That one felt pretty good.

Head hurts.

Paul, baby.

Bet you're close, aren't you?

Starting to see the pattern.

Yeah, yeah, I'm close.

You want me to massage your shoulders?

Head hurts.

Okay.

Do you want something?

More aspirin?

Frank, I want Frank.

You want Frank?

Yeah, I want Frank.

I want Frank.

Worst nurse of all, Walter.

You will tell us how you found him.

You want to know how I found you?

I'm psychic.

Peter, stop it.

I want to talk to him alone.

Go keep an eye on Walter.

As long as I get to finish what I started.

I don't understand you, Mr. Parker.

Why did you come here alone?

Why didn't you bring the CIA or FBI with you?

Those guys cramped my style.

You know what I think?

You were sent here to assassinate him.

But you couldn't do it.

I got a soft spot for autistic savants.

And I've got a soft spot for Americans.

Americans who don't waver under pressure.

Tell me, Michelle.

How did you manage to pull this assignment?

I was an encryption-decryption expert in Beijing.

Worked with autistic savants.

But never had anyone like Walter.

Walter was a gift.

I was lucky to have found him in that institution.

So what now?

You gonna zap me a couple times, too?

Of course not.

I don't want to hurt you, Mr. Parker.

Not unless you want me to.

Oh, Jasmine!

Oh, Jasmine!

What is it, Walter? What's happening?

I think I got into Jasmine's pants.

You broke the code.

Yeah, I broke the code. Yeah.

Don't move. Stay right there.

Michelle, come quick.

Walter did it. He broke Jasmine.

I'll be right there.

Leave us alone.

Michelle!

Peter, please.

Nice try, bitch.

Michelle!

Tell him before he hurts himself.

It's okay. It's okay.

You don't want to hurt me, do you?

Don't you hurt?

Hey, you and Frank can be together again soon,

for as long as you want.

Forever.

Just give me the code, Walter.

Walter, if you give me the code,

I'll buy you the very first Blue Avenger ever published.

There we go.

It's Blue Avenger number one.

Yes, no matter how much it costs.

Six... Nine...

T...

E...

Nine... Six.

How's this for you, old sadist?

That's it, Walter?

Yeah.

That's not correct, Walter.

That's not it!

Walter!

That's my code for Frank.

I want Frank.

I'm right here, Walter.

Hello, Walter.

Hello, Walter.

Everything's got to be...

true blue.

That suit is Frank Adams' Blue Avenger.

Yeah.

I'm going to have to put on my superhero costume one day, I think.

Don't worry, Walter.

Everything's going to be fine.

I'm not going to let anybody hurt you anymore.

This is the boy Wonder?

Yeah, that's Walter.

Well, that was his code name, anyway.

Open it.

What happened to him?

Michelle killed him when he failed to break the code.

She tried to kill me, too,

but I managed to escape.

And not in time to save Walter?

No.

After all you've been through with him, I'm so sorry.

I've got to use the head.

Excuse me.

It's really a tragedy.

All right, let's clear the area.

We've got a dead spy down here.

Come on, Walter.

Come on, let's go.

I'm a good hider.

Yeah, yeah, you're a champion hider.

Come on.

Listen, I got you something.

That's true blue.

All right, let's go.

Yeah.

You know, in issue 12,

the Blue Avenger had a...

Francis.

Walter.

You still hold the record, you know.

What record's that?

I've broken more rulers disciplining you than any other child under my care.

Follow me.

Walter.

Look at you.

I got a job now, Frank.

Yeah, that's great.

Yeah, see, these leaves have pretty patterns on them.

Oh, thank you.

You're welcome.

Francis is going to be leaving us, Walter.

Yeah, but I'm coming back to visit.

It's a promise.

Oh, okay, Frank.

Are you sure this is okay?

It's more than okay, Francis.

It's the right thing to do.

Yeah, but there's a thousand-to-one shot that...

Oh, still making odds, I see.

Well, someday somebody might show up here

looking for somebody who shouldn't find him.

Do you think you can handle that?

Have you forgotten who you're talking to, Francis?

Thank you, sister.

Well, it, uh, was...

really interesting seeing you again.

I, um... better get going.

Francis.

Take care of yourself.
