(vehicle approaching)

(mechanical whoosh)

(mechanical whoosh)

- You've done well.
- (door clangs shut)

With a weapon such as this,
we'll bring them to their knees.

The Holy One will
return victorious.

You know what you've carried?

The canvas was slipping.

I had to retie it.

That's when I saw.

How did you get such a device?

And how in God's name
do you plan to use it?

Shh...

You already know far more
than you should.

I promise you, the Holy One will
return because of your deed.

And the people will be forever
in your debt.

And you... will be forever in
my heart.

Kiss me.

(switchblade clicks)

(thud, gasp)

It was very foolish of you to
disobey my instructions, Quon.

(groans)

I'm truly sorry.

The power of the gods.

(theme music playing)

(onlookers murmuring)

Pantomime... it was considered
the highest form

of dramatic art
in ancient Greece.

(chuckles)
You are very talented.

Perhaps one day the world will
see your art

in the light it deserves.

(beeping)

MALE VOICE:
Good morning, Jim.

The Asian country of Kangji is
controlled

by a government
of military strongmen.

This is General Xang Kai.

The ultimate power he seeks is
control of the whole country.

This he will never achieve while
rivals stand in his way.

But now, Xang Kai has possession
of a stolen nuclear warhead.

By exploding this low-yield
weapon in the heart of the city,

Xang Kai plans to obliterate
the entire government of Kangji.

Using this destruction
of human lives,

he will emerge
as undisputed leader,

blaming the catastrophe on
the United States.

Xang Kai's plan depends upon
this woman...

a beautiful but deadly terrorist
called Su Lin.

It was she who organized
the theft of the weapon.

Su Lin is that most feared
of all terrorists...

the religious zealot.

She's a devotee
of the religious leader

known as the Holy One...

exiled for life
by the present regime.

In exchange for her help,
Xang Kai has agreed

to allow the Holy One
to return to the country.

Su Lin will go
to any lengths to achieve this.

She has undertaken to place
the nuclear device

in the capital and to arm it.

Your mission, Jim, should you
choose to accept it,

is to find that nuclear device
before it detonates,

and to put an end to Xang Kai's
evil plan.

As always, if you or any of your
IM force should be caught

or killed, the Secretary will
disavow any knowledge

of your actions.

This disc will self-destruct in
five seconds.

Good luck, Jim.

(rapid beeping)

(hissing)

General Xang Kai and Su Lin.

MAX:
Beauty and the beast.

They have one aim in common:

To destroy the present
government of Kangji.

For Su Lin, it will open the way

to the return of the Holy One
from exile.

For Xang Kai,
it will open the way

- to ultimate power for himself.
- He's using her.

But she's gonna blow up half
the capital

to take out the government?

Any means to an end.

To Su Lin, the loss of thousands
of innocent lives is

a... necessary sacrifice.

Well, this is one
very dangerous lady.

And I wouldn't trust him either.

Now, he trusts no one,
and he is loyal to no one.

When Su Lin has served her
purpose, she's expendable.

He'd kill her as coolly
as he'd swat a fly.

As a matter of fact, he'd do
the same thing to any of us.

We have the use of this ward
for just two days.

As far as the hospital staff are
concerned,

we're here to set up
an inoculation program.

I'll put double doors there,
okay?

- Good.
- Jim?

A low-yield nuclear device was
reported missing

from a French Pacific test site
four days ago.

Now, I've checked all
the shipping

and non-commercial flights out
of the area since then.

I'm pretty confident there's no
way that bomb could have arrived

in Kangji earlier
than the last 12 hours.

And then Su Lin had to smuggle
it into the city.

Taking her, what, uh...
about six hours maybe?

So, she's just had
the past few hours

to place the bomb
where Xang Kai wants it.

Which means Su Lin is still
somewhere in the city.

The bomb is in place.

It is armed.

No one can disarm it
without our code.

Good.

You've done well, Su Lin.

I'm grateful.

Remember your gratitude when
it's time

for the Holy One
to return to us.

Of course.

When is the weapon set
to explode?

22 hours.

Enough time for you to evacuate
your forces out of the city.

And where is the bomb hidden?

You don't need to know.

Humor me.

(officer shouting orders in
distance)

There?

You put it there?

The last place
anyone would look.

So clever...

...and so beautiful.

You realize I could have you
killed to safeguard the secret?

But you won't.

I know how you work, Xang Kai.

But you can't be sure what steps

I might have taken
to avenge my own death.

Now, as we have agreed, Su Lin,
you will leave the city

to see your "Holy One."

Speak to nobody.

No one at all.

Take a munitions expert
with you.

Have him replace Su Lin's
detonator with this one.

Yes, Excellency.

When it's done... kill him.

(tape rewinds, garbled voice)

The people have great sympathy
for all that I am doing.

Their hopes for peace and
freedom in our country

depend on me.

I have no fear
of the Holy One,

but I cannot authorize
his return.

(garbled speech)

I'm working with the latest
development from IM Research.

This scanner is really, uh,
pressing the edge

of the envelope here,
but I gotta tell you,

using the footage that we've got
of Xang Kai

from a press conference,
it is possible

to edit his words...

mix 'em around a bit...

- so he comes out saying
something... - (typing)

Entirely different.

(garbled speech)

...people depend... peace...
I cannot authorize... sympathy.

Now, you're limited to words
that he actually spoke?

Right. I structure only the best
sentences I can get.

(garbled speech)

I have authorized the return
of the Holy One

to show the people they have
nothing to fear from me.

I have great sympathy
for their hopes for peace

and freedom in our country.

You can actually change
what he says?

Shannon, it isn't perfect yet,

but this scanner should smooth
it out for me.

And shake Su Lin into action.

You are not of our faith.

All men of good faith share
their heart...

and their hope.

You speak with a wisdom
seldom found in the West.

I heard a great deal
about your Holy One.

I'd hoped to meet him.

The Holy One is forced to live
beyond our borders.

In exile.

Hide this... for your safety.

Even his image is forbidden in
this country.

Then I pray for his safe return
to his people.

His body is in Mandung Tung.

But his spirit
is always with us.

(beeps)

Jim, the Holy One is in a place
called Mandung Tung.

Given her devotion
to the Holy One,

I'd say that's where
Su Lin will go

to wait out the countdown.

Mandung Tung, Max?

Well, the only route open is
by rail.

A train leaves there today.

We've got less than one hour.

Better get moving.

(soldiers shouting cadence)

Your detonator is connected
to the device, sir.

And the munitions expert?

Dead.

I've kept Su Lin under
surveillance.

I would like you to go
to the railway station.

See that she gets on the train.

If she doesn't... kill her.

If she speaks to anyone,

looks like she's passing
information, kill them both.

Excellency.

(train whistle blows)

The train pulls out in
five minutes.

(indistinct conversations)

WOMAN (over P.A.): Would you
please go to the telephone?

We'd better split up.

WOMAN (over P.A.): Please go to
the telephone.

(train whistle blows)

Shannon, I've got her.

She's by the third carriage.
She's reading a newspaper.

Right.
I'm going to make contact.

They say that the Holy One lives
in a city

north of here
called Mandung Tung.

Have you heard of him?

He's not there for tourists.

I'm sorry. I didn't mean
to be disrespectful.

I know how important he is.

You have no idea
how important he is.

Jim, a wild card just showed up.
Xang Kai's Major.

He's trouble.

If he gets in the way now,
the whole mission's in jeopardy.

Take him out of the play, Max.

(woman speaking indistinctly
over P.A.)

Hey! Ah! Ah!

I'm really sorry about this.

I mean, excuse me.

Sorry about that. I mean,
I didn't mean to do that.

Hey, buddy, look, I'm sorry!

(woman speaking indistinctly
over P.A.)

(whistle blows)

(onlookers shouting)

? ?

(train whistle blows in
distance)

(train whistle blows)

(train whistle blows)

(passengers clamoring)

(flashlight clicks)

PHELPS (echoing):
Her pupils are reacting.

Yes, I think she's coming
around.

Miss?

Can you understand me?

Whoa-ho-ho-ho. You're not going
anywhere right now.

You're going to be okay.

Ah!

(moans softly)

All right. I told you
you're not going anywhere.

You've got a mild concussion and
some damage to your hands.

What happened? Where am I?

You're in an American clinic.

The other hospitals were full
with more seriously injured.

It was a train accident.

You're a very lucky young lady.

You've been out for the last
five hours.

How's it going?

I'm almost there.

Whoa, whoa, now easy.

You're going to be fine in
a couple of days.

(Su Lin sighs)

- But right now
your head hurts, huh? - Yeah.

Well, I'll have the nurse bring
you something.

No. No drugs.

Very well.

I'm Dr. Newman.

If you need anything,
just ring for the nurse.

The call button's right here.

(moans softly)

(light switch clicks)

Welcome to the party, lady.

She'll be a little disoriented

till the drug wears off in
a couple of hours,

but let's keep her on the ropes.
Are you ready?

(sighs): Yeah.

- All set.
- Yeah.

GRANT: Hey, you know,
the old doc was right

about you being lucky.

I heard on the news that more
than a dozen people were killed

in that train wreck.

- This ward is strictly off-
limits to... - Get out of my way!

- You can't barge in here like
this! - Government business.

I'm afraid I'm going to have
to go and talk to Dr. Newman.

You are George Clayton?

Who the hell's this guy?

I am Major Chung,
Head of Security.

You will detail your activities
for the past 24 hours.

All right, man.

I've been bike riding in
the country.

Of course.

(gasps)

How did you get these?

I fell off.

Liar!

What the devil do you think
you're doing

treating a patient like that?

This patient is a mercenary
soldier employed by the rebels.

I don't care what you think
he is. He's an ill man.

These wounds are from a barbed
wire fence

he stumbled into while trying
to sabotage a munitions depot.

He is under arrest.

Major Chung!

Take me to General Xang Kai.

She's one
of the accident victims.

He knows who I am.

Perhaps I do.

This woman could be wanted
for crimes against the State.

You will not release her

under any circumstances
until I return.

Can I call the Consulate
for you? I'd be happy to.

No, Doc, thanks.

You've done more than enough
already.

Besides, uh, I ain't too popular

over at the Consulate
these days.

I'll have the nurse
re-dress that.

Well done, Nicholas.

Crimes against the State.
Convincing.

That should create some doubt
about her "friend" Xang Kai.

(gasps)

Excellency, I swear.
She got on the train.

I saw her with my own eyes.

My agent in Mandung Tung says
she didn't arrive!

A station along the way,
Excellency.

If she got off,
made her own way back.

Find her!

Are you afraid of what will
happen when they arrest you?

Are you kidding?

That's half the fun of this gig.

I take the risks...
along with the money.

Look, do you mind
if I turn on the TV?

I get the feeling I ain't gonna
get too much entertainment

where they're taking me.

Here we go.

I hope she doesn't see the flaws
in this one.

The shock value ought to do it.

NICHOLAS: In Kangji today, a
passenger train en route

to the neighboring country of
Mandung Tung was derailed.

Early reports put the death toll
at 14 with dozens more injured.

It is believed
that a party of pilgrims

traveling to Mandung Tung

for an audience with their
religious leader

were among the dead and injured.

- (broadcast continues) -Hey,
check it out. You made the news.

14 dead.

I told you you were
one lucky lady.

In the latest developments
coming out of Kangji,

it's been reported that
the religious leader known

as the Holy One is due back in
the capital city today

to bring solace to the victims
and the families of the dead.

The return of the previously
exiled religious leader

has been sanctioned
by General Xang Kai.

And now for the clincher.

I have authorized the return
of the Holy One

to show the people they have
nothing to fear from me.

I have great sympathy
for their hopes for peace

- and freedom in our country.
- No!

- Those less seriously hurt...
- No!

Xang Kai has betrayed me!

...the cause of the derailment
remains unknown.

No!

- Shh!
- No!

Take it easy. If you're one of
the pilgrims, you're gonna get

- a chance to meet your leader
anyway. - He lied to me!

He betrayed me!

The Holy One should be back in
the city in a few hours.

The Holy One will die.

We're all gonna die!

There's no turning back now.

See? There's no stopping it now!

(sobbing)

What are you talking about?

There's no way to stop what?

I have killed the Holy One.

I'm only glad
that I will die as well.

Hey, ho, you're not making
any sense here.

Now, I do know that the Holy One
is still alive.

So are you.

In my book... that means a lot.

There's no stopping time.

I snatched these scissors off
the nurse's tray.

When our boy Chung comes back in
here to take me away,

I'm gonna do
my level best to gut him,

make my way to the border.

If things are as bad as you say,

you're more than welcome
to come along.

Something terrible is
about to happen.

If you will help me try
to save the Holy One,

I promise you,

I have the resources to get you
out of the country safely

and make you a very wealthy man.

Now that's my kind of deal.

Su Lin has disappeared,
Excellency.

She has made no contact
with the Holy One.

So the journey was a trick.

Su Lin is coming back
to betray me.

She may tamper with the device.

I want the place watched.
She must be stopped!

Do it personally!

(gun cocks)

Wake up!

Both of you!

Get dressed.

General Xang Kai accuses you
of high treason.

PHELPS: I'm afraid you're going
to have to go with this man.

We have an ambulance waiting
to take the two of you

to the prison hospital.

I think it's working.

I'll see you later.

I'm sorry there's nothing
I can do.

(Su Lin gasps)

Hey, take it easy!

(grunting)

Wait a minute!

(grunts)

Sorry, Major, but I've already
got a date for tonight.

(gasping)

Damn it, there's no keys!

- Forget it.
- We're outta here. Come on.

Clear.

Whew!

Are you all right?

Yeah, yeah.
She packs quite a punch.

So glad it wasn't real glass.

Hey, buddy. Hey!

- (gun cocks)
- Keys!

Let's go! Come on!

Now!

(Max gasping)

You are a resourceful man.

That's why I'm alive today.

(tires squeal)

- All right?
- Yeah.

Shannon, are you receiving them?

Loud and clear.

You follow them in the car.

Remember the bug
Grant's wearing has

only a five-mile transmission
radius.

Nicholas, you get
the van in position.

You didn't say
where we're going.

That's right, I didn't.

Or what we're doing.

I'll tell you
as you need to know.

(device beeping)

Jim, they're headed northeast.

I'll follow at a distance.

Looks like they're headed for
the center of the city.

Trouble.

Xang Kai's men.

Turn around.

There's only one way out
of this.

(engine revs)

(siren wails)

(tires squeal)

Stop now!

Time to give Grant
the break he needs.

(beeps)

This ambulance needs a doctor.

(tires squeal)

Hey, I didn't tell you
to turn in here.

Well, I didn't ask
your permission.

We gotta change horses.

(tires screech)

? ?

Here we go.

Fate is on our side.

? ?

Jim, they're on foot.

And they're heading in
the direction...

I think it's a shrine.

(typing)

Oh, yeah, that's where their
great leaders

of the past are buried.

Xang's certain
to have the place guarded.

Keep 'em in sight.

It's in there.

What is in there?

Hey! I want to know
what the game is

we're playing here, lady.

Disarming a nuclear device.

Oh, my God.

I was tricked into planting it.

Now that's crazy.

What did you think
you were doing?

I was fooled by a man who wants

to destroy the soul
of my country.

Please...

don't back out now.

We better cover them.

Wait! Open it!

- Excuse me.
- What are you doing here?

- You get out of here!
- (dart whooshes)

(gasps)

Up there.

(grunts)

? ?

They're inside.

It's in there.

Oh, my God...

Xang Kai tricked me.

What?

This keypad is not
the one that I installed.

Xang Kai changed it.

You don't know Xang Kai's code?

I know this mechanism.

Any tampering or incorrect code

and the device
automatically goes off.

I failed.

I failed!

Would you calm down, Su Lin?

(static crackles)

You're wired?

You're spying for Xang Kai?

No, Su Lin...

Would you wait?!

We gotta get the code
out of Xang Kai.

And I have to save the Holy One!

(yells)

You liar!

GRANT:
Wait!

Oh!

Wait!

Wait, Su... Su Lin...

Xang Kai!

You murderer!

- (screams)
- No!

(gunfire over radio)

Damn it!

(shouting)

She's dead.

Come on, Grant, for God's sake,
get out of there.

(sighs)

Yeah.

Yeah, I'm outta here.

We're less than four hours
from a nuclear disaster.

What about an evacuation
of the city?

Not enough time, Shannon.

We'd get some people out, but...

But there'd be panic in the
streets. We'd lose thousands.

Yes, he's right.
And if we alert the government,

General Xang is liable to be
right in the middle of it.

Can we break the code?

Ah, one misstep,
that thing's going to blow.

It's just not an option.

Maybe there's another way.

We'd have to get to Xang Kai
before he leaves town.

We'll work two fronts at once.

Nicholas, I want you to
visit the temple again.

I was so overjoyed to learn

that the true body and spirit
will be united at last.

This is a day of celebration.

Who are you speaking of?

The Holy One.

The Holy One is in Mandung Tung.

Then you have not heard
that he is in the city?

In the next hour,
he will be in the square

to meet with the faithful.

It's the same process I used
on the footage of Xang Kai.

Now...

the best raw material seems
to be this part of our tape.

(rewinding, garbled speech)

He has long been in exile to
save his followers, not himself.

Now he is coming to join the
people again at a terrible time.

Yes! Xang Kai has betrayed me.

That's why I must get free

to have it stopped, so that
the Holy One may live.

Good. You can't tell
where she is.

SU LIN (filtered):
Xang Kai... Xang Kai has...

Xang Kai betrayed people.

Returning stop time...

I've re-arranged the words.

The toughest part
of this whole thing

is trying to get those
lip movements natural.

Here goes.

L-l-I s... I s... I stopped
the ti... the timer.

Lo-Iong live... long live the...

long live the Hol... the Holy...
the Holy One...

Xang Kai, you have betrayed me.

When I learned that
the Holy One was returning

to join the people,
I stopped the timer.

Long live the Holy One!

That ought to shake
the General up.

He's got to believe that the
Holy One is still in the city.

Oh, he'll believe, all right.

(door opens)

I'm Dr. Barnett, from the I.H.L.

I have an urgent delivery
for General Xang Kai.

Yes.

- Is it true?
- Yes.

We are going to
see the Holy One.

It's of vital importance
that the General sees this

before he leaves today.

We found it on a wounded man
who died in the hospital.

It seems to be a message
to the General

containing a threat
to his personal safety.

Look! The Holy One!

I stopped the timer.

Long live the Holy One!

No!

But General, it's not possible.

Only you know the code
to the detonator.

Su Lin was very resourceful.

You killed her when she
was inside the shrine.

She could have defused it,
for all we know.

Urgent message, Excellency.

Well?

Crowds are gathering
in the People's Square.

The Holy One has returned.

You saw him?

I can still win...

and eliminate this "Holy One"
once and for all.

I'll reactivate
the device myself.

(guard shouting)

- He just left.
- Right, Max.

General Xang Kai
got your message.

I think he's on his way
to check the timer.

Our plan's working.

You read me, Nicholas?

Yes, Jim.
I've been spreading the word

among the people
to go to the Shrine.

Good. We'll have our audience.

Grant...

Nicholas has done his job
and the people are on the way.

Are you ready for the General?

All wired up, Jim.

All right. Expect him
in the next few minutes.

Yeah.

That's all the time we've got.

The stage is set.

It's in the hands
of the people now.

Come on!

Here come our people.

Let's go.

Su Lin didn't defuse it!
She wants me to die in here!

How much time is left?

Two minutes.
I'll have to work fast!

It took me two years to
get hold of this weapon.

I will not lose it now!

(over speaker): I know the code
like my own signature.

You can't stop it! Get out!

Come back, you fool!

I can stop the bomb.

It's locked!

I know the code.
I set the detonator myself.

Now, let me concentrate.

Let me out!

XANG KAI:
This is my power... my destiny.

I've controlled it this far.

This is the sequence.

I'm sure of it.

It stopped. You've done it.

XANG KAI:
Now, to arrest the Holy One.

XANG KAI: I'll come back
and reset the bomb

when I'm certain he'll
die with the rest of them.

General Xang Kai...

we arrest you for treason
against the people.

(whimpering)

Well, I'd hate to be
in his shoes right now.

Yeah, did you see the looks
on those people's faces?

So, this is the way
Xang Kai's world ends...

not with a bang...

but a whimper.

(theme music playing)
