Hey, do you have everything you got back there?

I'm sorry, my love, but we've had an incident.

I was watching the movie. It's just coming to the part I like.

Who is she, another freedom fighter?

Oh, no.

I'm afraid she is much more than that.

Aren't you, my dear?

And much more dangerous.

So I am afraid we're going to have to do something about that.

Something very...

for maintenance.

Is it worth waiting?

Sure. Nothing much to go around with these babies. They're computer

Yeah, negative friction driven by electronic impulse.

Interesting concept.

You might enjoy a private ride.

Good morning, Jim.

While in power, Luis Berezan ruled his country with an iron fist.

But the real power belonged to his wife, Emilia.

Political opponents by the thousands disappeared at her orders.

When Berezan fell ill last year, a popular revolution made the country

for the dictator.

He and his wife sought asylum in the U .S., but only after emptying the

country's treasury.

With their investments in the hands of this man, Carl Brothers.

They continue to live in absolute luxury while the country they left behind is

bankrupt and the people starving.

Amelia Berezan is obsessed with dreams of returning to her country and wresting

power from the people.

Their vast illegal fortune could make this coup possible.

Your mission, Jim, should you choose to accept it, is to find and return the

money the Berezans stole from the National Treasury.

As always, should you or any of your I .M. force be caught or killed, the

Secretary will disavow any knowledge of your actions.

This disc will self -destruct in five seconds.

Good luck, Jim.

The research for this mission is being done by our very own Casey.

Casey? Yes, the secretary sent her down a special assignment last week. She'll

be joining us there.

In the meantime, we're taking along an extra team member on this assignment.

This is Shannon Reed.

She has a background in broadcast journalism, and she's been an agent for

Secret Service for the last five years.

Amelia Barazan.

She may be married, but that doesn't stop her from making an occasional field

trip. The word is that she likes a man young and rugged.

Max? Well, I'll do my best.

According to Casey's report, the Barazan stronghold in the Florida Keys is

guarded by some very highly paid mercenaries. If it has a vulnerable

would be... here.

All communications, television, phone, radio...

Come in through these satellite dishes.

There's no way of getting in on the ground level.

But there will be one other line of communication open to us.

Notice anything unusual?

No, except they're the same design as Louise Bearer's arms.

Try them on, Nicholas.

How about now?

That's clever.

Whatever I put into my computer will appear on the liquid crystal display on

right lens.

Like the code to the Barazan investments.

Exactly. And once we locate them, Luis Barazan will transfer them right back

into the national treasury, whether his wife likes it or not.

Had any luck this season?

Yeah, caught a few sailfish, a couple of wahoo, and one barracuda.

Hey, you're a mini -Bernson.

I've seen you on TV.

Oh, I look dreadful on TV.

I hope I'm better in the flesh.

I'm sure you are, Mrs. Bernson.

Excuse me.

Call me Amelia.

Who's called that?

The two gentlemen you were expecting, Madame Barizan.

They are early. They should not have been let through security.

I love

what

you think you're doing.

I was just...

Trying to be a good host. Darling, you are not required to provide

entertainment. Danny, would you please escort His Excellency upstairs?

You are the man I spoke to on the phone?

Yes, ma 'am. I'm Mr. Whitaker, T .R. Whitaker.

This is my associate, Mr. Carlson. You are early and I am not pleased.

You people have no consideration.

Your country offers us asylum and we find ourselves being watched and spied

Well, I hope that you don't feel we're spying on you, ma 'am.

We're here strictly on business.

Mr. Whitaker, you would not be standing there if I had not had you checked out

very, very thoroughly. So please, state your business.

What would you say if I told you that we could help you and your husband get

your country back?

Go on.

I'm chief geologist for Mr. Whitaker's oil company.

We've been testing in your country.

You have some very rich oil deposits in your northern mountains.

A geologist?

Of course you have the topographic studies with you.

Yes, well, you'll have to talk to those freedom -loving patriots who hounded my

husband from office.

We have, Madame Barazon. They have some insane notions about the environment.

If you were back in power, we'd hope that you'd grant us exclusive oil

rights.

And how could we hope to achieve that?

Coupled with military support, there's still an element in your country that's

very loyal to your husband.

Enough to get him reinstated.

With our help.

People deal in images, Madame Barrison.

Your people have...

The image of a virile, strong Luis Barrazan. We'll give them back that

your husband. They'll give you back your power. We have the ways and the means

to produce for you a virile, strong, healthy Luis Barrazan who will rally his

people around him.

In a case he's right, security is just about impregnable. There's no chance of

getting in on foot.

Cancer heading for the gate.

But every fortress has a sweet spot.

Hi, you're right on time.

I'd like you to meet Grant.

Grant Collier, Shannon Reed. Hi.

Hi. What's that?

Explosive device.

Smoke, flash, a big bang, and harmless.

Oh, electronic remote trigger, right?

That's right.

You throw, press this, it'll shatter on impact.

Yeah, nice installation.

Yeah, it ought to be quite spectacular.

Not quite as spectacular as my jump tonight.

Thanks buddy.

Grant's in position.

Good, we're on track.

Now, turmoil and turmoil tonight. Let's change that to chaos tonight. Right,

okay.

All right, the Caribbean island of Conte.

We'll have film of that at 11.

Turning now to the local news here in Florida.

Fort Lauderdale, police are seeking help in identifying the body of a young

woman. A woman whose body was washed up on a Florida...

Earlier today, there is no identification.

And police have asked anyone who might be able to assist to come forward

immediately. Persons having any information, please call Fort Lauderdale

All phone calls will be made within minutes.

In Coral Gables...

On the streets is from one of last year's demonstrations in Alcante.

But it looks as if it's happening right now.

Jim?

Jim, are you okay?

What's the matter?

Oh, no, nothing's the matter.

Madam, Barazan has a report from Alcante. I thought you'd want to see...

the death of Alcante's ousted dictator, Luis Barazan.

Barazan has been living in exile in Florida, but has not been seen in public

three months, a fact that has contributed to the reports of his

tuned to this network for further developments.

Yes?

Madam Barazan, I just saw an interesting news broadcast.

They're fools.

They have no facts. You know my husband is alive.

Yes, but could he inspire your countrymen with a really forceful,

that would make them demand his return?

Make them beg for him to come back?

Can you guarantee your man could do that?

I guarantee he'd give you more options than you have right now.

All right.

Bring him tomorrow.

No, time is running short. It has to be tonight or not at all.

I'll be there in 30 minutes.

Yes, sir. Name, please.

Mr. Whitaker to see Madam Verizon.

Mr. Whitaker coming in.

Wicker, please come with me, sir.

His name is David Moliner. He's an actor.

But his skill with makeup makes him an absolute master of disguise.

Show me what he does.

Watch carefully.

That is uncanny.

Yes, isn't it, though?

He's also a master of dialects and voices.

A little coaching from your husband, no one will be able to tell the difference.

A televised speech?

A televised speech beamed into every home in Alcante.

Your people will see a strong Luis, a Luis in control.

I think you have nothing to lose, madam.

And everything to gain.

To go home again, back the way it was.

The way it should be.

I'll make them suffer for what they've put us through.

Oh, Jim, she can't be dead.

I just identified the body, Nicholas. It was Casey.

I can't believe it.

How? Beresan.

It must have been Beresan.

We don't know that yet.

It had to be. She was keeping them under surveillance.

Yes, she was. She started this job and we're going to finish it.

I'm sorry, Jim. I just can't do it.

I can't play my part.

You can, Max, and you will.

We all cared about Casey.

But you're the only one who will be able to move freely about that house.

You're the only one who will have access to the upstairs.

And that could be the only way that we can find out if they did kill her.

And prove that they're guilty.

What are you talking about?

When I was on the Bereson's roof, I saw video cameras, infrared cameras that

cover every inch of those grounds.

Now, I think it's likely that they record everything that goes on in that

compound. Yes, sir. So perhaps they recorded what happened to Casey.

It's a long shot.

But it could be the only evidence we'll get.

So you want to type something?

I know how you all feel.

She was like a daughter to me.

We will nail whoever did this.

That's a promise.

His ecstasy will be down shortly.

My God!

He's perfect.

Well, if Madame Berizan agrees, we'll be able to transmit a speech to the island

of Alcante this afternoon.

If I didn't know any better, I... Well, I would swear that was my husband.

I'm glad Madame Amelia is pleased.

He doesn't sound like me at all.

Well, yes, we know the voice needs a little work, Your Excellency. We were

hoping you would help us in that department.

In a day? I am supposed to teach this actor to be like me?

Gentlemen, my husband will help in any way he can.

If he is supposed to be me, what about his glasses, eh?

I could never look into those hot television lights without my glasses.

Oh, that's better.

Yes, isn't it?

Now, be careful with the glass, please.

Come on.

Dad. Hold it.

Hello?

Mrs. Barazon.

Oh, I told you, it's Amelia.

What's your name, anyway?

Jack.

Jack Mills.

What do you do? Buy out the whole store?

When I see something I want, I buy.

Or maybe you just can't buy everything.

Everything has its price.

Hey, watch out!

It's okay.

I swear they'll pay.

For

my

hero.

believe that those so -called patriots would actually follow us to Florida and

try to attack me after all I've done for my country.

Try to knock off a simple fisherman on the border.

You are such a beautiful liar, Sam.

You know something I don't?

I know you're not a fisherman.

I had you checked out.

You like to live too well.

Doesn't everyone?

And wealthy older women help you to do that, don't they?

They make me happy.

I make them happy.

You could get rid of them and become my personal bodyguard.

This place is already guarded like a fortress.

But I'm grateful to you, Jack.

Very grateful.

What would your husband think of me being your bodyguard?

My husband has two interests in life, old movies and sitting in his room

manipulating his investments.

The only thing he has turned on in a year is his computer.

And it takes him one hour to do that.

Shannon, time to call Barazan's attorney.

What time do you want to make the appointment?

Let's go through the whole sequence again.

You'll make the appointment for exactly three hours from now because that's when

the Barazans expect us to do the broadcast.

The tape will run exactly 20 minutes. Once it's on, he'll occupy the Barazans

while Nicholas goes to their attorney and transfers everything they own. And

Grant will have 20 minutes to get into the computer and feed Nicholas the data.

And if he can't, I'll be sitting in an office with egg all over Barazan's face.

Well, I ain't gonna let that happen.

This is President Luis Berezon's secretary.

President Berezon wishes to make an appointment with Mr. Crothers.

He will arrive at the office at 4 p .m.

At that time, Mr. Crothers will have an exact financial status of the

president's investments.

Well, then, he'll just have to cancel his appointments.

I was sure that he would.

I think we're getting close here. Let's try a run -through.

Ready when you are.

This is Linda Vance bringing you a direct hook -up to the historic

being made by ex -president Luis Berezan to his one -time subjects in the island

state of El Cante.

You guys can start carrying this stuff in.

You can carry this in for me. Thank you very much.

Let me get that.

Here, I'll get you a dress for you. I got it.

Now, the old guy in the military uniform said you'd help me bring some equipment

in. You want to get a move on?

Miss Vance has agreed to host the president's broadcast and return for an

exclusive for her own network.

I believe you were just in my country. Yes, I was.

I was surprised by the number of people calling for your return.

I see no reason for surprise.

Thanks, buddy.

Put it in the screening room, all right?

Hey, pretty expensive -looking equipment there.

Yeah, tell me about it.

It was the only tape in the room. It's got to be the one.

What about its financial records?

All on computer, up in this room.

How can we be sure that people will be tuned into this broadcast?

My staff has set up a television relay in the mountains.

Not only will it beam in the president's broadcast, it will jam every other

signal as long as we're on the air. Oh, no, no.

He's using his hands too much.

Nobody is going to believe that he is me.

I don't need this, you know.

I almost had a TV series in L .A. last year.

And besides which, I've not received a cent in payment.

The deal was 20 grand up front, the rest after the broadcast.

Come on, you get your money when we get back to the hotel.

I'm an actor, friend. I've heard that line before.

I get paid now.

Or I walk.

Well, of course you'll be paid.

I assume you have a bank account.

I'm not a pauper.

Good.

The money will be transferred right now.

Video tape records images by recording a series of electromagnetic impulses.

When you use the tape a second and third time, you're rearranging the magnetic

structure in order to create a totally new image.

I've been working on a theory that each recorded picture, even after it's been

white and recorded over, leaves an impression on the tape, which normally

be neutralized.

Except for infrared.

Exactly.

It's an entirely different impression.

Like, um...

A negative on all the daylight film.

And you're trying to strip the brighter images from the videotape.

In order to see if the infrared winds have been preserved.

A darker impression, but it's still not clear.

I'm going to try and deepen the infrared image.

What is it, Grant?

It's coming through.

Like a film negative.

Is that her?

Hey, I am not a performing seal. Get these people out of here.

David, take it easy.

My deal says I do my bit and then I get out. No one said anything about an

audience. Well, perhaps if there was a place where Madame and President Verizon

could watch it. If we must.

There are monitors in our security room.

Oh, that's perfect. Then you'll be able to see the broadcast the same as your

people will. But what if he starts waving his arms again?

I'm sure your excellency will be depicted with all the respect and

deserve. All right.

I'm going to the van.

Showtime. This is Linda Vance bringing you a direct hookup to the historic

broadcast being made by ex -president Luis Berezan to his one -time subjects

the island state of Alcante.

Don't stand there like a stunned porpoise. Open the door.

To Crother's office.

As fast as you can. Yes, sir.

President Berezan has specifically requested the opportunity to make this

exclusive statement.

Dear people of Alcante, my people, such is the nature

of politics in this modern world of ours that we must constantly be on

guard against the specter of lies and rumors.

Some would have it that I am no longer capable of leading this fair and

prosperous country.

15 minutes left till the end of the tape.

Grant. Less than 15 minutes.

Everything.

But surely there's no need for recency.

With the greatest respect, I must urge you to reconsider your decision.

The people want me back.

Yes, but... So I require my money to rebuild the army.

For weapons?

Ammunition? Well, I'm not sure that we can just simply transfer everything to

Canty.

The Treasury are going to want an explanation.

Then explain.

Grant, Nickerson's stalling for time. We've got less than ten minutes.

Your Excellency, forgive me, but perhaps I should check with Madame Beresan.

I have to get my wife's permission?

Is that what you're saying? Of course not, Your Excellency.

But she did mention certain problems.

A certain vagueness. A tendency to be, well, a little irrational.

A time when agriculture and industry will flourish manifold.

Not my word, you don't understand there, Madame Beresans.

She talked about a... a loss of memory.

You think

I'm irrational?

Uh, vague, huh?

Oh, no, no, no, not I.

Madame Beresans... Loss of memory.

For your own protection, Your Excellency, let me just talk to Madame

Ten million U .S. Treasury bonds.

Maturing December 17th, 1999.

One hundred and thirty million, one hundred and thirty -four thousand in

bullion.

Uncut diamonds, 703 stones, value $3

,408 ,300.

Anti -coins and postage stamp collection, $2 ,170

,100.

And is that enough for you, Mr. Kranz?

Do you still think that I suffer from lapses of memory, a certain vagueness, a

tendency to be irrational?

I'm sorry, Your Excellency. Forgive me. I was really just concerned for your own

security. Then perhaps we can commence the transfer.

Yes. Yes, immediately.

What's going on here?

Oh, it must be some problem with the transmission.

Where's the regular program?

Theatrum. Where is it?

As a matter of fact, he's visiting your attorney, doing a little business on

your behalf.

Business? What business?

Transferring your funds back where they belong.

Back to the people of Alcante.

Jack. There's nothing you can do to stop it. The money, the treasury bonds, it's

all gone. Every stolen nickel.

That's what we've been looking for.

You have no right.

We have asylum in this country.

This is a copy of something we're sending to the FBI. It just might

you.

This is evidence enough to have you indicted and convicted for the murder of

Casey Randall.

You go on down.

No one can touch me.

I'll offer, Emilia. You're going to jail for the rest of your life. I'm not too

good for you.

You can't touch me.

No one can touch me.

I am Emilia Baradon.

My people will protect me.

My people.

My people will protect me.

Citizens of Alphonte.

not believe the lies that they are spreading. I am coming home. Home to

Home to my own country.

Your Emilia.

Your beloved Emilia is coming home.

And I place myself under your protection.

And I will bring back your Louise.

Yes! Your president fit and strong. Ready to rule.

for the protection of his countrymen.

Louise?

Come, my love.

Tell them. Tell them that we are going home.

Louise?

Your subjects are waiting, darling.

Tell them.

Tell them that they... That they need us and... And that they...
