And son, whatever has happened, remember that I love you.

Watch your back, now!

Come on, I know it's easy.

He's gone. Somebody got him.

Tell me exactly what happened.

I went to his apartment.

It's all blown apart.

Guy pointed a gun at me.

I found these.

Call the police.

No, Dad said if anything like this happened, I was supposed to get you.

I did the right thing.

Where is he? What happened to him?

Can't answer that yet.

We've got to get you out of danger.

What? Here, take a visit.

An airline ticket to Bermuda.

I was going on vacation.

You take it yourself.

I can't do that.

You must do that.

You get on the four o 'clock flight out of JFK. When you get to the island, you

stay at the Governor's Regency Hotel. I have a prepaid reservation.

You want me to just walk away?

No, I want you to trust me, Scott.

Go ahead.

Go to the airport.

I'll call you as soon as anything happens.

don't remember

Hello, Scott.

I had hoped that you would never have to view this tape, but since you are

watching it, it means that the situation is desperate and that control is not

giving you any help.

So, the first order of business.

Contact Mickey Kostmeyer and say the following words.

Find Medusa's child.

He'll know what you mean and he'll know what to do.

If anything goes wrong and if all else fails, well, you know my will is and you

know... where to find the money.

Pray that's all I can do to help you. There is one other thing.

Whatever happens, remember that I love you.

Please remember that.

God bless you.

Nice ride, Scott.

Dad said if I went to control and he wanted to ship me away, it meant

Makes sense.

If he keeps you here, it means the situation is due and he wants to check

out. With this airplane ticket, it means something's going down.

So he'll never take his vacation.

What's this business about Medusa's child?

Uh, it's a codename for a guy who used to be with the agency.

You know, I never knew McCall had such good taste in cars.

What's his real name?

Richard Dyson.

Why didn't Dad tell me that in the first place? It would have saved a lot of

time.

Sometimes we're just better off not knowing about some people.

Think he can help us?

If he wants to. He's a real heavy hitter.

Me and McCall got each other out of the agency, which is no mean trick.

How'd they do that?

None of my business, so I never asked.

Pull over. We're here.

Yo, stop it!

Get out!

You think it's safe to leave the car parked on a street like this?

You're right. You stay and watch the car.

Lieutenant, I'm coming.

All right.

But just remember, when we get inside, I do all the talking.

Inside where?

What am I doing anyway?

Interesting assortment of kitties. Yeah.

Good afternoon, gentlemen.

How might I be of service to you?

I'm looking for a magic potion, and I heard this was the place to come.

What would you like?

Something to make you irresistible to the ladies?

Nah, I'll tell you what I do need, though.

There's a jungle room. from a tree in Guyana.

It's called Medusa's Child.

I am very sorry. I have never heard of such a thing before.

I want to see Dyson. If you don't get him for me, you're going to need a magic

potion to grow a new head.

Tell him it's Casmeyer and a mutual friend that's calling in his marker.

Why'd you let him go back there by himself? He could be getting a gun.

I don't think so. Dyson had killed him.

Sounds like a real pleasant guy.

Follow these directions.

Be there in one hour.

Thanks. You've been a big help.

Sure, this is the right place.

You wanted to meet us in a car, Chief?

You're supposed to go to the Phantom and get in.

happens now is that you've got 30 seconds to tell me why you're here.

And if I don't like what I hear, you're dead.

It's not my fault.

It ain't Richard Dyson.

I've checked with my sources.

Your father's situation is unknown.

It may not be smart to go looking for him. So what does that mean? You're not

going to do anything?

Why should I?

Well, somehow I got the impression you were his friend.

Robert McCall and I are business associates.

We worked together when it was advantageous to do so.

Come on, Mickey, let's get out of here. You'll leave when I want you to.

Come on, you haven't had a chance to examine my new car.

I just bought it today.

A 1952 Lagonda. Your basic form of transportation.

Look, if you don't mind, my father's in danger.

You're hurting his chances right now.

I left the company to become a collector.

The only thing I refuse to collect is people.

People I leave entirely alone.

McCall, on the other hand, seems obsessed with them. That's why he's

right now.

Can you give me one reason why I should risk anything to help him?

Yeah, if you were in any kind of trouble, he'd do anything he could to

out. True.

But does that mean that I should do the same for him?

Learn that.

It'll make your life a lot less disappointing.

I guess it's time to go.

All the phone calls I made might have flushed out some of the performers onto

the street.

How about that Cadillac?

I hope it's still in mint condition.

That was a loan, you know, not a gift.

Draining sort of damage?

Entirely under -convincing.

And here comes control, right on cue.

Hello, Dyson.

I thought you were out of the country.

No, that's next week.

Your people haven't been keeping up with my schedule.

You should be in Bermuda.

Oh, he'll use that ticket later.

He wouldn't pass up a free trip at the company expense.

You know, you've involved yourself with a very dangerous man, don't you?

Let's go.

I want you out of this.

Am I in your way of control?

Look, you can't do anything except more damage, and I can't have that.

Now, I know enough about your activities as Southern Control to compromise your

present wealth and your well -being.

If you push me, I'll use it.

No, you won't use it.

I have a very damaging file on you.

You remember sign, cosign, and the fall of the Shah?

All right, all right.

Five days ago,

Mark Stoneman defected to the Soviet Union.

And to what position of incompetence?

Had he been promoted?

He was assistant director of European death. Now, obviously, the whole house

cards is falling. They've already cut down five of our best agents.

Compromising on how many others.

The KGB is holding a dozen agents in the Portova prison.

They have promised to execute one every 48 hours unless we work out some kind of

jury.

And how many of their agents do you have?

Not enough.

The whole deal is being set up by Piotr Petrovich Rufinov.

And that's where McCall comes in. He's part of the exchange.

No, he is the exchange.

Ronfiloff is insisting we send Robert to Moscow to stand trial for the murder of

Ronfiloff's brother.

And you, being the good friend that you are, had him picked up for his own

protection.

I tried to. Obviously, the KGB got here first.

You offered him up as a sacrificial lamb.

I did nothing of the kind. That's why you won't let anybody bring him back.

deal was already set. The decision to not pursue was made at the highest

possible level, and I can understand their reasoning. Which would you rather

see, the loss of one man or of a dozen of the best agents in the world, men and

women who've made great sacrifices to do their job?

One or 12?

Very moving.

All right, Dyson, you obviously don't believe a word I've said.

You can believe this.

If you make one wrong move, it could be the end of Robert McCall.

Now that is a warning that I will take very seriously indeed.

Well, one thing's for certain.

McCall still hasn't left the country.

We wouldn't be getting this kind of pressure.

So what do we do now?

Have a little talk with the KGB. I found this on the floor of McCall's

apartment.

Looks like a piece of rubber off somebody's heel.

One foolproof way to tell an East Block agent.

They all buy their shoes from the same Bulgarian factory outlet.

This, uh, tread here is the mark.

You think they were in?

Maybe.

Did you ever meet Harley Gage?

Yeah, I heard of him.

Best man we ever had in Moscow.

Didn't need any time to stir for murder.

Yes, what an awful waste of manpower.

However, it so happens that I have a friend who specializes in the transfer

prisoners.

Better go home and get some sleep, gentlemen.

Maybe your last chance for a long time.

Thought I might find you here.

I said we'd never manage it.

But we did, Richard, didn't we?

We cut loose.

The three of the company.

Yeah.

But what took us so long?

Friends.

Commitments.

You're a sentimentalist, Robert.

Richard, I know you lost a great deal. We all did.

Too many people we cared about.

Maybe I lost more than I could pay.

We have to find something to replace what's been taken away.

Never again, Robert.

I'm never again going to hang myself out.

What made you so damn good was that you did hang yourself out.

You did care.

Never again.

I won't pay the price.

On for the road, Mr. Dyson.

Close. Get ready.

6 o 'clock tonight. Take it home.

Thank you.

The only thing that'll do you any good is orange juice.

Don't even talk about it.

What kind of gas is that, huh?

A puke bomb?

It's a new item.

Developed in Singapore.

Still in the experimental stage.

You used an experimental gas to gas on me?

It had no harmful side effects in the laboratory, Rats. You ought to do just

fine.

Come on, sit down. We got work to do.

And that's the thanks I get for breaking you out of jail. You let me ride in

there until you had a job for me to do, didn't you?

That's a very negative attitude to take.

This young man's father may have been captured by the KGB.

We have to get him out.

Who the hell cares? Count me out.

I think you'll care when you find out who it is.

Robert McCall.

He must have had a good reason to do it. He didn't. He framed me. You're lying.

He wouldn't do that to anybody.

I've got to kill this kid. Cool it, Harley.

You make me sorry I broke you up.

I'll cool down, but only after I finish with McCall.

Well, that just leaves me two alternatives.

Either I stick you back where I found you. Never.

Or I kill you right here.

Now, what they're going to be, friend?

But if we get him out, McCall's mine.

Agreed. Agreed? The guy wants to kill my dad. Look,

Scott, you've got to cut this stuff out. Look, this is just a family

misunderstanding. They're going to get ironed out.

Your old man is the one who brought Gage into this game. No way, that's

impossible. Believe it or not, I'm telling you.

Other than your old man, these two guys are the best in the business.

And we've got to play it their way. Do you ever want to see your old man alive?

Okay, I'll keep an eye on him.

It'll pay off for you.

Oh, yeah?

How do you figure that?

Hard time is a way of modifying a playboy image.

I am trying to remember, Dyson, why I never blew you away.

You know, he was the youngest station chief we ever had in Moscow.

The whole three years he was there, the KGB thought he worked for them.

He turned in weekly reports to his superior, feeding him disinformation.

You know how he got away with it?

For some reason.

Known only to God or the devil.

Hardened KGB women find him irresistible.

I'm not.

Look over there.

I don't believe it.

She's in New York.

Harley. Yeah? What do you want?

Information only.

And be careful.

Moscow still doesn't know what to make of you.

None of that matter.

Francesca and I live together.

She'll do anything I say.

Oh, Harley.

Just relax and tell me everything.

Frankly, I gotta tell you something, Francesca.

This is very disappointing.

And ego -deflating, too.

Well, this is the thanks I get for going to prison. I ought to be a hero to the

KGB. Oh, you are.

And to prove that, we are going to bury you under the Kremlin wall.

What have I got to do to prove my loyalty?

Huh? Go to the electric chair?

I got life in prison for killing a company agent that was about to kill

Your loyalty is very unclear to us.

Tell me once more how you escaped.

Without any help from any friends.

Look, I told you all this already.

I had some money stashed away.

I bribed a couple of prison guards.

They gassed the prison bus and I got away.

Let me down from here, will you? Please be patient.

My instructions will come any moment now.

I think the whole time you were sleeping with me you were working for them.

I can't believe this.

What do they say?

Francesca, can we discuss this?

Go ahead, do it.

You're going to do it right here in the bed.

A personal message

from the KGB.

Moscow welcomes you back.

Thank God.

What's keeping him?

Francesca was his KGB chief in Moscow.

I'm sure they've got a lot to talk about. Yeah, well, great. While they're

talking, my dad could be on his way out of the country.

I wouldn't worry.

He has the two biggest bureaucracies in the world trying to negotiate.

Even if the KGB has McCall, I'm sure the agency wouldn't let them take him out

of the country until all 12 of their people are safe.

Meanwhile, why don't we entertain ourselves?

What do you see?

You check out the rear.

Last car on the block.

That's him. That's the guy that was in my father's apartment.

Gus Byron, after I get out, you pull away and come back in five minutes.

Yes.

All right, get up, Rambler.

Someday you're going to have to learn to walk.

I think he's forgotten how to relax.

That's what prison life does to you.

I'll come back again.

We'll keep working on it.

It's a deal.

You'll tell us immediately if you find out something about McCall.

Give me Bordeaux.

He just left.

Does he know anything?

I don't think so.

Who is he working for?

That's unclear, but I'm certain it's not the company.

This is getting very risky.

I think you should have permanented him as our director advised.

The decision was left to me.

There'll be plenty of time for that later.

Give me a status report.

Our search is progressing very fast.

Good. I'll be there in 30 minutes.

Raise your hands over your head, Nicole.

Holly. Holly Gage.

Remarkable memory.

Well, maybe my prison escape didn't fool you.

Now your gun.

Our little party's over here.

Your hitter struck out.

Mickey, you know what you've done?

You've involved Scott as an accessory in a federal prison break.

And that is just the beginning of your problems again.

Why don't you shut up, Control?

I've got a very nervous stomach.

No.

Just let him say everything that's on his mind.

You through?

Yeah.

You lied to me last night.

The KGB does not have McCall.

What?

That little piece of rubber heel we found on McCall's floor.

You dropped that there knowing I'd find it.

But if they don't have my dad, who does?

He does.

I don't believe it.

Look, he's had them all the time. He's just waiting now for orders to turn them

over to Moscow.

You wouldn't do that. Would you?

I mean, you're his best friend.

Right this time, Bart.

I'm right.

This time I'm sorry, McCall.

Don't let Steve drive.

Scott.

I want you to know what happened.

And I want you to hear it from me. Listen to me, Scott.

The Soviet Union is going to execute 12 of our agents, unless we make some sort

of a trade with them, and they are demanding that your father be part of

deal.

Come on, Scott, think.

What do you think that your father would do if he heard that he had it within

his power to save the lives of 12 people, 12 of his former associates?

you what he wanted to do. He wanted to walk right out. He wanted to walk right

out of there and over to the Soviet embassy and give himself up.

You lied to me.

I would do it again.

I kidnapped your father.

I'm holding him locked up right now to save his life.

Dyson's right.

I was the one who trashed his apartment.

This is by some time. I had to. I had to make it look like the KJV had taken him

so that I could hide what I'd done from Washington. You think I don't care about

your father? Your father and I were covering each other's backs and saving

other's lives before you were born.

Right now I'm walking a damn tightrope and you and your pals over there are

trying to push me off.

Let me tell you something. If I fall, you make no mistake about

it, your father is going to go with me.

Is all of this true?

There's one way to find out.

Let's hear it from McCall himself.

That's impossible.

Why? Why even? Because it would jeopardize his hiding place.

The young man wants to see his father.

You want to see him?

All right, let's go.

Still got you. It's your shot, brunette.

Oh, my, Leola.

Yeah, what do you want?

I'm trying to find 4223 and a half guards road.

I got an emergency repair.

The drain is backing up.

This is 4223.

Oh, okay. Thanks.

I'll keep looking.

Lord, be careful. I want him alive.

Hurry up!

you want him to do. He was going to kill me.

He looks bad, but he's still breathing.

Let's get him to the van.

We're late.
