When I
said the earth was moving,

I didn't mean literally.

I'm disappointed.

Not for long.

I can make you happy.

23:30.

23:30.

You got 15 minutes.

Why does Langley
want kitover so bad?

'Cause he's
a top Soviet chemist.

Urquhart thinks he's
working on something big.

Sunitska

When this one's over,
I want you to come with me.

Can you handle me
24 hours a day?

You have 14 minutes.

Alec, da?

Arkady kitover.

What you are doing,
Alec, is a great thing.

Not just for me,
but for the whole world.

I want you to know that.

You don't believe me.

Let's just say
I've heard a lot of talk

about saving
the world, doc.

I understand.

You're cynical.

In your profession,

I would be, too.

Shit.

We got a shadow.

I don't see anything.

Back there.
The lights are off.

What is the problem?

We got a tail, doc.

Tell me you're
as important

as urquhart
says you are.

Good, 'cause
I'd hate to die

for the colonel's
secret recipe.

Hang on.

Dammit!

Can't we outrun them?

Sonya, head
for the safe house

on leninsky prospekt.

Alec--

just go.
We don't have a choice.

He's priority one.

I'll be ok.

You know what to do.

Alec, be careful.

Go.

Sonya.

Room service.

Man: Do you like
baseball, Mr. Carville?

When I was a boy,

I was a big fan
of American baseball.

All I wanted
to do was play

in the major leagues
for the Red Sox.

Red Sox suck.

They haven't
won a series

since Ruth went
to the Yankees.

Let's just say I like
to root for the underdog.

Unnh.

Now a word
about the rules.

Every time
you answer incorrectly

or refuse to answer,
that's a strike.

Tell me what I want
to know, you take a base.

Are we clear?

What if I hit
a home run?

The chemist

Where is he?

Somewhere

Between here and there.

Strike one.

You have an accomplice.

Red fox.

Who is she?

Sister.

Strike two!

You are in a bad way,
my friend.

Tell me
what I want to know,

and you can spend the rest
of the inning on the bench.

What difference
does it make?

I'm eating pine
anyway

Basil bellanin.

Unh.

I see we have files
on each other, chameleon.

You don't mind if I use
your code name, do you?

Where did you--

your wife likes to talk
in my favorite position.

Strike three!

Ungh! Aaah!

You are gonna
regret that.

I promise.

Tsk tsk tsk.

Talking back to an official.

I'm afraid you're
out of the game.

Alec: An interesting piece.

Self portrait.

It's so dark.

Sonya: I create
what I feel.

Alec: Anger.

I feel sadness.

Sadness
for my country.

Alec: Sunitska.

One day you and your
country will be free.

How are we feeling
today, Alec, hmm?

Good. Glad to hear it.

It's march 21st today.

March 21st.

Special day.

Do you know why?

Hmm?

Tsk tsk tsk tsk.

It is vernal equinox.

First day of spring.

Everything
is about to change.

But I suppose

nothing ever changes
in here, does it.

If it will make you
feel any better,

I've had quite a change
of fortune lately.

And in a way,

I have you
to thank for it, hmm.

Alec!

Doctor.

Doctor

Da.

Man: Da?

Sonya orlova.

Sonya?

Sonya!

Unnh!

Wakey, wakey.

I apologize
for the restraints.

When a man's had his
first taste of freedom

in a long time,

there's no telling
how he'll react

to being held
against his will.

Bellanin.

I thought I smelled
your style.

Robert Alec carville, CIA.

A genuine cold warrior.

Like a stone-age mosquito
preserved in Amber.

A living, breathing
fossil of a dead age.

I didn't know the kgb
was into paleontology.

The kgb no longer exists,
my friend.

I see you don't believe me.

Do you know how long
you were in that cell?

11 years.

Things have changed
while you were gone.

America won the cold war.

The Soviet union collapsed

And I went into business
for myself.

Don't tell me.

You bought
the Red Sox.

An interesting idea.

Actually, I'm in shipping.

Import-export.

A smuggler.

I prefer the term
commodities broker,

but you are correct.

I run my operation from
this side of the Atlantic,

and I enjoy
seasons tickets

to both the sox
and the symphony.

And these two?

Unemployed cellists

or your
designated hitters?

Norvid and iashin
used to work for spetsnaz.

Now they work for me.
The job's the same

But the pay
is better.

Shut up.

I arranged
your escape, Alec.

The drugs
they were giving you

were replaced
with a placebo.

I had someone on the inside
take care of it.

And I'm supposed
to be grateful for that.

You put me in there!

And I can send you back.

We knew you'd come
looking for her.

You know where she is.

Quid pro quo, Alec.

Sonya.

Do as I say,

and the red fox
does not become extinct.

Let me see her.

You have seen her.

When the job is done,

you will both
be free to go.

You have my word.

Your word.

You break it,
and I will break you.

You should learn to be
more trusting, Alec.

After all

I am the only friend
you have left.

Bunyo?

Bunyo.

Come. I have
something to show you.

Voila!

The original
is called spring.

Now it's in the vault

at the Atlantic global
bank in Boston.

In 2 days, the owner
will come to collect it.

I want your help
to obtain it

before that happens.

You want me to help you
obtain this painting?

I was planning

to simply switch it
with this copy,

but the svoloch
moved it

to a more
secure location

before my people
could act.

The painting was
recently purchased

by a rather flamboyant
American billionaire

by the name
of Felix j. Grady.

He made his fortune
in the oil business

and now dabbles
in communications.

The resemblance
is remarkable, chameleon.

With a little work
and your talent,

no one would be able
to tell the difference.

Like you said,
it's been 11 years.

What if i'm
a little rusty?

You can handle it.

Grady has a reputation

for running
on his own schedule.

This time,
you're a day early.

You walk right
into the bank

and walk right out
with the painting.

That's easy
for you to say.

Easy for you to do.

The painting for Sonya.

The choice is yours.

Bellanin: I think you will
find the guest room cozy

after your recent
accommodations.

The liquor cabinet
is fully stocked.

I recommend the cognac.

It's '89--
a very good year.

Well, for some of us.

Oh, and, uh,

big brother
is watching.

There's some homework
on the table for you.

'89 sucked.

Felix j. Grady.

Mmm.

Smokes a good cigar.

Hmm.

Thank you very much.

I'd like to thank Colin
for that fine introduction.

He's gonna get
a raise tomorrow.

I can't tell you how proud
I am to be here today

at the christening
of our first satellite

of our new
communication division.

I--we named it,

in my honor,
the Grady star!

Grady star.

Grady star!

Mm-mmm.
Just look at her.

Fine piece
of machinery she is.

Mm-mmm.

One day we'll be able
to control the skies

with this puppy.

I like to call her
my ticket to fly.

My ticket to fly.

Grady: Thank you.
Thank you very much.

Like my daddy
always told me,

he said, Sonny,
as long as you got power

and a whole lot of money,

everybody loves you.

Especially the honeys.

Thank you all.

Thank you all very much.
Thank you for coming.

she's kind of gone insane

it don't matter,
what the hell

he loves her
just the same

his mother told him,
stay away

she'll get you
in the end

she's a prized possession

in love
with his best friend

ain't that a shame
he wants her

you know,
it's all over now

everybody's
talking 'bout

Grady's own mother wouldn't
be able to tell you apart.

His mistress, maybe.
Ha ha ha ha.

I'm sure you know
what this is?

Put it on.

The bank will want a scan
of your thumbprint.

Don't worry.

My people have already
penetrated their computer.

They will make sure the
system thinks it's a match.

And what happens
if your people

aren't as good
as you think they are?

I prefer to play the odds.

Like we say in Russia--

kak dva'tsa obossat.

Piece of cake.

Right.

Testing, testing.
1, 2, 3.

Josef?

Reading you.

Gregor?

Iashin: Da.

Carville?

I think there's
something wrong with mine.

All I hear is
an irritating voice.

Remember why
you are here, Alec,

and what will happen
if you fail.

Y'all just keep
the car runnin',

ya hear?

Excuse me.

Can I help you, sir?

Mmm mmm.

The better question
is, can I help you?

Felix j. Grady
at your service.

And if I may be
of service

Oh, Mr. Grady.

I'll let Vicky--

I mean, miss best,
my boss--

I'll let her know
you're here.

You do that.

And when you call,

you call me collect
now, ya hear?

Mmm mmm.

Perhaps just
a little less charm.

Well, any time you'd
like to take over,

you just let me know.

Just concentrate

on the task at hand.

Relax, boys!

They ain't got
varmints in new england

like we gots back home.

A fella can walk into
a bank without worryin'

he's gonna get caught
in the middle of a stickup.

Good afternoon.

Made a friend.

First time?

Very amusing.

Mr. Grady.

Yes, ma'am.

I'm Vicky best,

v.p. International
accounts.

Pleasure to make
your acquaintance.

We heard about your
change of schedule.

Yes. I, uh, must
apologize for that.

No, that's fine.

My office is upstairs.
Shall we?

Certainly.

Uh, excuse me.

Maybe you should wait
here until we're done.

We don't want
to intimidate the lady,

if you know what I mean.

Let him go.

Sorry about that.

Can I get you
a coffeeTea?

Coffee. Yes, coffee
would be wonderful.

Oh, Lynn, would
you bring coffee

for Mr. Grady?

Sure.

This shouldn't
take long, Mr. Grady.

Please, have a seat.

After you.

Ok.

I am going to need
to see some picture I.D.

And your social security
card, please.

I'm very sorry
about this.

It's--the client
did insist.

I understand
perfectly.

After all,
rules are rules.

I think you'll rather
enjoy that picture.

Are you ok?

Yes.

Spending my money
always makes me tense.

I can't even imagine having
this much money to spend.

Lynn, is that you?

Yes, miss best.
Come on in.

Thank you.

Mm-hmm.

You're doing well, Alec.

Well, thank you,
sweetheart.

Vicki: Ok. Now,

if I could just get you

to put your right thumb
on the glass, please.

Great.

Ok.

Just a few more minutes.

Last step.

Now, if I could
just get you

to enter your password,

we'll be done.

My password.

Mm-hmm.

Bellanin:
We need more time.

Keep her talking
a little longer.

So soon?
I was hoping

that we could chat
a little longer.

Get to know each other
a little better.

It appears spending
money also turns you

into a bit of
a flirt, Mr. Grady.

You know,
they say that danger

is the ultimate
aphrodisiac.

I think that's a load
of hogwash myself.

Personally, I don't
think you need danger

to be horny.

A-Are you going
to enter your password,

or are we gonna continue
discussing your love life?

Stall her.

My password.

So many things
to forget in life.

My password

Is not one.

Not yet!

We have a firewall that just
came down and shut us out.

My people are re-routing.
5 seconds.

That was close.

Great.

Bellanin: Sonya.

I'm glad to see she's
never far from your mind.

No. No, she's not.

I beg your pardon?

Nothing. Just
an internal thought.

Ah. That's it.

Um, congratulations.

Thank you.

Shall we go to the vault?

Darlin', I will
follow you anywhere.

One of you go with him.

That's all right, dick.

I can handle this
by myself.

I think Sonya would
want him to go along,

Mr. Grady.

You know,
on second thought

Maybe you
should join us.

A little culture
never hurt anyone.

Especially you.

You don't mind,
do you?

No, that's--
that's fine.

Good.

So, where
do you call home

when you're not
jet-setting around?

Fort worth.
But I was born

in a little town
in Tennessee.

Tennessee?

The home of Davy Crockett.

Those are some
big shoes to fill.

Alec: One day you
and your country will be free.

Alec: I don't suppose
you could tell me

who the previous
owner was?

No. I've never met them.

All of our transactions
with this client

have been done through
an offshore corporation.

Is that a fact?

Mm-hmm.

Alec: Oh, my.

The relationship
between the artist

and the applications
of colors

seem rather hurried.

And yet, there's a raw,
hidden talent here.

You're not having
second thoughts,

are you, Mr. Grady?

Mr. Grady?

Hmm?

Oh, no. No, no,
not at all.

Believe me,

it is a lifesaver.

what's that?
You think you're a cowboy?

huh, you're messin'
with a real outlaw

I got a sick fascination
with the drive-by nation

I've been living my life
on the edge of inflation

American wannabes
and Cadillac beauties

my brain is fixin'
on the backseat

'cause I'm black
and I'm lucky

carville, can you read me?

what an implication

it overlooks
the value

Alec. Josef.

Get out of there.

It's Grady.

The re Grady
just arrived.

a new sensation,
my soul salvation

Gregor, they must
not be able to hear me

down in the vault.

Get them out of there.

Hurry.

you'll be left to thaw

'cause I'll beat you
to the draw

I'm a 21st century outlaw

I'm a 21st century outlaw

You're startin' the countdown?

but you don't care,
I think it's fair

Josef!
Da!

Josef!

Da.

Grady! We have
to leave now!

Alec: My, oh, my,
look at the time.

I do hate to
cut this short,

but we do have
a previous engagement

on the other side
of town.

Hope you don't think
I'm being rude.

No. Uh, I am however gonna
need you to sign this form.

Not a problem. Have that
sent over to my office.

I'm a 21st century outlaw

I beat you to the draw

outlaw

what kinda cheap
parlor trick is this?

Must be Halloween, boys,

'cause we got ourselves
an impostor!

Now, that's funny.

That guy's a total jerk.

What in the hell
is going on in there?

Somebody answer me!

I need that painting.

Don't just stand there.
Would you do something?

Ok.

Everybody, on the floor!

People:
Go! Go! Go!

Do it now!

Did you hear me?

I said on the floor, now!

Norvid?

Don't do it.

It's not worth it.

Get down!

Man: Get back!
Get back!

Grady: Shit!

Man: I don't
want to die!

Teach you to mess with me,
you son of a bitch!

Yeah-haw! Now this is
the way I like it!

Hey!

Where are you going?
Stay down!

Heads up!
Freeze! Police!

Damn! Gets more and more.

Stick your head out there, boy,
and let me pick it off!

Aah!

Where'd you go,
you snake in the grass?

You lookin' for me,
hoss?

Basil. Basil!

Where is he?

I'll take that,
Mr. Grady.

Well,
ain't this a pickle?

Not much of
a square dance, is it?

What do we do now?

Close the blinds.

Huh?

If they can't see us,
they can't shoot us. Go!

We're gonna need
more backup on this.

All right, 2 by 2.
Nice and easy.

Easy.

Easy, men.
Easy.

Someone's coming out!

Down! Take cover!

Take cover!
Take cover!

Norvid: Let's go! Move!
Come on! Move! Let's go!

Everybody move!

Come on, come on!
Into the corner. Let's go.

Come on! Come on!
Into the corner!

Let's go! Let's go!

You! Hey, come on!
Over to the corner!

All right, we're gonna need
a squadron in here.

All right, just keep
your weapons drawn,

but no firing
till I say so.

The front window's
covered

Shut the doors

Yes, sir.

If that something gets
here, you let me know.

Yes, sir.

Marshall.

Yes, sir?

What's the story?

Gregor!
Get down those blinds!

Close the blinds!
Close the blinds right now!

Shut up! Shut up!

Don't look at me! Shut up!

Don't look at me!
Don't look at me! Shut up!

Grady:
Hold on here a minute!

You're not gonna
herd me around

like some kind
of cattle.

Now, you boys, you
just made a big mistake.

You talkin' to me?

Well, I was just
merely tryin' to

State my point,
that's all.

That's enough.

What the hell
are you doing?

Ending this insanity

before you get us
all killed, you idiot!

I have my instructions.

You have an employer

who'd rather save
his own ass than yours.

Think about it, norvid.

Are you ready to die
for a paycheck?

We have a job to do,
company man.

If you're not
part of the solution,

you're part of the problem.

And I don't need
any more problems right now.

Iashin!

Well, well, well.
Looky here.

Looks like
we got ourselves

an old-fashioned
Mexican standoff.

Hmm.

Sit down and shut up!

All righty.

What's it going to be,
company man? Hmm?

Delaney:
Hello in the bank!

I'm unarmed!

I wanna come in and talk!

Man going in.

Hold your fire.

I'm unarmed.
I wanna come in and talk.

I'm detective Delaney.

I'll be your negotiator
today.

Just you!

Move.

You're, uh, Russian, right?
It's the accent.

Doesn't take much.
I can always tell.

Yeah. Shut up.

What's this?

It's a tape recorder.

For your demands.

My demands?

Grady:
Oh, Christ, son.

There's obviously
a language problem here.

Demands, boy! He wants
to know what you want.

Well, hell, I got one.

You shut up,
or I will kill her!

Well, go ahead. Hell,
I prefer blondes anyway.

Gregor! Put her down!

Officer, if you'll just call
my hotel, the excelsior,

and ask for urquhart,
now he'll come down

and straighten
the whole fool mess out!

Shut up!

Delaney:
Who's in charge here?

I am.

My demands.

I want a jet
waiting at the airport.

And bus
to take us there.

And 10 million. Cash.

I better take that down.

Jet, bus,
10 million rubles.

Dollars, asshole!
American dollars!

American dollars,
not rubles.

Don't fuck with me!

Oh, uh, 10 million.
That's gonna take some time.

Well

Norvid, we need to let
some of the hostages go.

Is he with you?

We don't need them.

It may
Speed things up?

Yeah, yeah, he's right.

It could, uh, grease the wheels
with the suits downtown.

Bring them out!

Nyet!

Gregor!

Shut up!

Who you calling
stupid?

Both of you, shut up!

Gregor, I know what
I'm doing. Believe me.

Now go get the hostages!

Now!

Out! Out!

Out! Out!
Fast! Move!

Norvid:
Sit down!

Not me.

Shut up!

Come on.

Not you. You stay.

I'm sorry.

It's all right.
Go.

I make rules here, policeman.
Do you understand?

You can't eat your pie
and have it, too.

If we are not on plane
by tonight,

the billionaire gets it,

and there will be
more like him.

Do you understand?

Go!

It's cake.

I got your back.

It's Delaney.

Move, move! Get him
out of the line of fire!

Give him a hand!

Has anybody been injured?

Let's go! Go! Go! Go!

Move it out!
Go! Go! Go!

Move it out!

From bad to worse.

I want you there.

You up there.
And you over there.

I want every entrance in
or out of this bank covered.

Let's go. Double time.
Look alive!

Oh, it if isn't
Don quixote.

Albright.
What are you doing here?

Uh, it's a bank,
it's being robbed.

Um, hostage situation.

Smells like federal
jurisdiction to me.

You're not turning this
into your own private waco.

Not like last time.
Not on my watch.

Those were
anti-government extremists,

and I did what was necessary.

Just keep telling
yourself that.

Let's try to work together
on this one, Delaney.

Those hostages in there
are counting on it.

You're not gonna listen

to anything
I have to say anyway.

Suit yourself.

All right.

We got 2, maybe 3 perps.

Semi autos,
heavy caliber.

Ok.

Bought us
a little time.

Now we just have
to figure a way out.

Basil will find a way.

You trust him?

You're dumber
than I thought.

Gresha.

They killed
some poor son of a bitch

just to show
they were serious.

You're a good cop,
Delaney.

That's why I'm gonna let you
stay on in an advisory capacity.

So, when you're done
tilting the windmills,

I'll be in the Van.

Thanks, robocop.

Somebody get me
a paper towel!

All right, so which one of you
is the real Felix Grady?

Now, you've got to be
kiddin' me.

Well, that boy don't look
nothin' like me.

Well, look at me.

I'm plump. I'm proud.

Hell, I'm one sexy fella.

So then who is he?

That's a good question,
my little filly.

I'm not your little filly,
you got that?

Hillbilly jerk.

Well, well, well.
Looky here.

See what I mean?

Well, what the hell
are you lookin' at?

A patsy.

What'd you
just call me?

You work for
the company, don't you?

Now, what
makes you think

I'd have anything
to do with them people?

Urquhart.

Thomas Wayne urquhart.

You mentioned
his name to the cop.

See, I used to work
for him, too, Grady.

A long time ago.

And they want
the painting, right?

They're
using you as cover

for purchase
and pick up.

They did the same thing
back in the seventies

with Howard Hughes.

Hide in plain sight.

That way you don't
attract attention.

Yeah, but that doesn't
make any sense.

I mean, why is a painting
worth killing each other over?

That's the million
dollar question.

Try 100 million.

It don't matter.

I'm the only one
comin' out of here

smellin' like a Rose.

Ha.

You're blind, Grady.
They're playin' you.

Can't you see that?

Do you even know why
you shelled out

for that thing?

You don't, do you?

You're just
their stooge

Their bagman.

It's time you and I
squared off.

Enough talking!

Sit down, I said.

And youRemember,
I am in charge now.

Then I guess we can
kiss our asses good-bye.

Don't think
I won't kill you

because I'm scared
of pissing off bellanin.

You mean less
than shit to me.

I'm glad
we got that sorted out.

Hmm.

I could kill you now.

I have nothing else
to do today.

Vicky: No!

Eagles,
that was a gunshot.

Tell me you
see something. Over.

Eagles: Negative.
We've got zero visibility.

Windows covered.
Over.

Shit's hittin'
the fan.

I'm gonna warm up
the boys.

Can you keep your pants on
for just one minute?

We don't know
what's goin' on in there.

You know

I've been wanting
to do this to one of you

for a long time.

For fallen comrades.

Josefdo you read me?

Never thought I'd be happy
to hear your voice.

Bellanin: Alec,
where is the painting?

Basil.

Where the hell
have you been?

Control yourself.

You are there
for one reason--

to get me that painting.

I need all three of you
alive for that.

For your information,

the building
is surrounded by police.

I know.

Is the painting safe?

Yes.

Good.

Alec, come in.

He can't hear you anymore.

I am in charge here.

I need Alec to complete
this operation.

What you need, bellanin,
is to get us out of here!

I'm working on it
as we speak.

This is a delicate situation.

You have done a fine job
for me, Josef.

I will not forget it.

You just
have to trust me.

I will not
go back to prison.

You get us out of here,
bellanin

Or the police
will be knocking

on you door tomorrow
Comrade!

He will help us.

I trust him.

Gresha.

All right, Delaney.
What's up?

Look, there
was this guy--

a guy. A perp?
Well, no.

Was he armed?

Yes, but

Look, if it
wasn't for him,

we'd be dealin'
with 10 hostages

instead of just 2.

I think he may be
the voice of reason.

Maybe
doesn't cut it.

Get me
an inside line.

Either I call him
on the phone,

or I go in there.
It's up to you.

You're a pain
in the ass, you know that?

Make it short.

Hello.

Hello, uh, this is
detective Delaney.

We heard some
shootin' in there.

Is everybody
all right?

Everyone is fine.

We had a little
misunderstanding.

That's all.

I'm glad to hear that.

Listen, we're workin'
on your plane

and your money,

but it's gonna
take some time.

Why don't you
do me a favor

and let the woman go?

Heh heh heh.

You have balls,
detective.

I hear a lot of talk
but no action.

Look, you let
some people go,

but then you killed
an innocent man

for no reason.

Doesn't show
a lot of good faith.

My superiors want
somebody rational

to deal with,

not a raving
psychotic.

Let me tell you who you're
dealing with, detective.

I am a cossack.

My father fought
against the Germans

in the great
patriotic war.

My grandfather fought against
the bolsheviks in 1917,

and my great-grandfather
led pogroms

against the Jews
for the czar.

We did not get our reputation
by acting in good faith.

You now have 2 hours
to get me what I want.

Smooth, Delaney.

Real smooth.

Your hard-on's showing.

You had
your chance.

2 hours?
That's 7:15.

I'm goin' in
after dark.

Delaney.

Thanks.

Now, that's interesting.

Yeah,
apparently the perp

who was killed
in front of the bank

was already dead.

His I.D. Took a bullet,

so they had to run
his fingerprints

through the FBI database.

His real name
is Caleb derbitz.

He's a marine
from Wisconsin.

Apparently, he was killed
in desert storm.

Shit.

Agent albright,
my name's urquhart.

Justice department.

We need a word
with you in private.

Detective, would you
excuse us, please?

This is definitely
gonna need a stitch.

Are you sure
you know what you're

Doing?

E.R. nurse, 5 years.

Then I decided
to try something

a little less
stressful.

Ok, shoot.

I want you to know
about what's going on

inside that bank.

3 men
have taken hostages.

They want money,
a plane.

And the corpse
at the morgue?

Don't tell me
justice department.

I wasn't born yesterday.

No, he didn't
work for justice,

and neither do I.

Central
intelligence agency.

What i'm
about to tell you

is eyes only
information.

It does not
leave this Van.

You understand me?

A number of our agents
were inside that bank

on an operation

of the highest
national security.

I can't tell you
the details,

but I need
that building secured

as quickly as possible.

All other considerations
are secondary.

Now, we can't just
go in there openly

and take over.

It would violate
our charter.

It would raise
all kinds of questions

on capitol hill.

This has to stay
an FBI operation.

Now, I can go over
your head if necessary,

but that would take time
I do not have,

so I need to know
that I can count on you.

Thanks.

You're welcome.

So, um

Who are you?

I mean, are you Russian?
Are you American?

I--i know what I saw,

and you were trying
to stop all of this.

Ok, uh, a name.

Could you at least
tell me your name?

Ok.

No name.

Alec.

My name is Alec,

and I'm ex-CIA.

Let me
get this straight.

You're asking me to violate
normal FBI protocols

and rules of engagement

to undermine
an ongoing investigation

and conceal evidence.

That's correct.

I've seen your file.

You have a predilection
for shooting first

and asking
questions later.

Just the kind
of man I need.

So

How does a blank slate
sound, and, uh

I don't know, let's say
a corner office,

assistant director
albright?

Well, it sounds like
I'm gonna need a new suit.

Vicky:
What do you mean, ex?

I mean I've been in
a Russian mental institution

since 1989.

Well, if you're
telling the truth,

then why didn't
the CIA get you out?

Standard procedure.

When an operative's
caught in the field,

deny any knowledge.

Yeah, but the wall
came down in '89.

I mean, the cold war
was over.

For you, maybe.

But when it came down,

I was stuck
on the wrong side,

caught in one long nightmare
that never ended.

11 years.

Gone.

Just another
expendable asset.

Bullshit.

He's just tryin'
to scare us.

Freak boy ain't said
nothin' that makes sense

since he's been in here.

Hell, you heard him.
He's

He's been takin' loony pills
for 11 years.

Yes, I heard him.

What's your excuse?

Albright: Violate
normal FBI protocols

and rules of engagement

to undermine
an ongoing investigation

and conceal evidence.

Urquhart: That's correct.
I've see your file.

You have a predilection
for shooting first

and asking questions later.

You're just
the kind of man I need.

A lot to think
about, huh?

Yeah, and you lay it on
pretty thick, too.

Just because I said
I was in an asylum,

that

That doesn't mean
I'm crazy.

No. You just like
to impersonate billionaires

for kicks, right?

Touché.

Back in '89

I had a partner.

Actually, she was

She was much more
than a partner.

So when I escaped
from the institution,

I tried to find her,

but the people
who put me up to this,

they found me first,

and unless I leave here
with that painting,

they're gonna kill her.

So you're saying you're
doing all of this for her?

I just want
my life back.

She was my life.

And I want her back.

It's gettin' dark.

Mm-hmm.

Alec: The police'll be
makin' their move soon.

I could use your help.

I need your contact number,
Grady.

Ain't no crazy here,
boy.

So just take it
somewheres else.

If you ever want
to smoke another cigar

or have another satellite
named after you,

I suggest
you cough it up.

You know, you don't
hears too well.

I said you're
pissin' in the wind.

Yep.

You got the look.

More of that crazy talk,

and what the hell is
that supposed to mean?

If I thought for one moment
you'd listen,

I'd tell you.

You look scared, Felix.

Like a deer in headlights.

Now, down deep inside,
you know I'm right.

Now, we can all
get out of here alive,

but it starts with you.

I need that number.

This is channel 13
coming to you live

from downtown Boston

where an apparent robbery
attempt at Atlantic global

has evolved
into a hostage situation.

There is no word yet
on the number of injuries,

but gunfire

Da.

Josef.

Basil.

What are you doing
about getting us out of here?

I'm working on it.

You said that 2 hours ago.

Put Alec on the phone.

I need to talk to him.

What?

Our time is up.

What for?

Never mind what for.
Just do it.

Hey!

Bellanin for you.

Bellanin: Don't talk.
Just listen.

Your time is running out,
company man.

I chose you for this job

because I knew
you could adapt

to unforeseen circumstances.

It's time
to prove me correct.

Sonya's life depends on it.

Norvid and iashin
are expendable.

The painting is not.

Say yes if you understand.

Yes.

Put our friend back on.

Da.

Josef, Alec
is now in charge.

You'll do as he says.

But--

if you want to get
out of there in one piece,

don't argue!
But--

so what's happening?

Bellanin says
we have to take orders

from this
pidar now.

Bullshit!

Who are you calling?

Man: Yes?

I need to speak
with the piano man.

I'm sorry, sir.
You must have the wrong number.

Yeah. Tell him
it's the chameleon.

He'll take the call.

One moment.

Yeah.

Man: Uh, piano man, I have
a chameleon on the line.

Patching you through.

Man: I'll connect you now.

Urquhart: Alec?
Alec carville?

Hello, Tom.

Jesus, I thought
you were dead.

Where are you?

Unless
I miss my guess,

right across
the street from you.

Good god.

Who are you
working for,

the Chinese,
the north Koreans?

Does it matter?

You see, I have
the painting, Tom.

So tell the FBI
to back off,

or I'll torch it.

Go right ahead. You'd be
doing us both a favor.

You forget we played
poker together, Tom.

I know you're bluffing.

Alec, do you
even know what it is

that you're
trying to steal?

Well, why don't you
fill me in?

Cold fusion.

Unlimited energy

from a simple
chemical reaction.

It's totally
non-polluting

and cheap as dirt.

It was
kitover's baby.

Kitover?

The chemist?

Yeah. He was killed

before they could
get it out of him.

For 11 years,
everyone assumed

he took
the secret with him

to his grave,

and a few weeks ago,

CIA gets an
anonymous e-mail--

100 million and
the formula's yours.

And that's where
Grady comes in.

Urquhart: Mm-hmm.

In exchange for certain
black technology rights,

he buys the painting
and turns it over to us,

and the money never shows up
on any congressional audit.

So why pay 100 million
just to Bury it?

Are you kidding?

Cheap limitless power
that anyone can afford?

We'd lose control.

It would be the end
of everything we've built

since the second world war.

Buried along
with the carburetor

that gets a hundred
miles to the gallon

And the roswell ufo,
right?

Look, Alec,
what happened back in '89

was a shitty deal,

but you knew the protocols.

Orders are orders,
and we have to follow them.

Now, don't let
what happened back then

affect your judgment now.

Do the right thing.

Do--

surrender and turn
the painting over to us.

Since when was
doing the right thing

about screwing the people
you're supposed to protect?

Come on, Alec.
I'm your friend.

This is no game
we're playing here.

We're talking about
the future of our country.

Then I guess it's
my turn to be selfish,

'cause I don't give a damn
about your orders.

See, I got somethin'
more at stake here.

They're gonna kill--

Alec?

Basil was such a fool
to trust you.

Man: All right, guys.
Let's move it out.

All teams prepare
to move on my signal.

Lock and load.

Ok, people.

Pucker time.

Man: I got
position 2.

What the hell
are ya doin', Delaney?

I'm goin' with ya.

No chance.

Somebody's
got to think about

those people in there.
You sure as hell aren't.

I'm not gonna tell you
again, detective.

What's the matter, Neil?

You afraid I might
see somethin'

I'm not supposed to?

You endanger
any of my men,

and I'll have your ass.

Thanks for the offer.

I'm married.

Their 2 hours are up.

I will not surrender.

No! No!

Nobody else needs to die.

That's my ticket to fly.

Man: All right,
get those men in position!

Man: Lock and load!

Unh!

Uhh! Christ.

Talk about your dead weight.

You're on your own,
superhero.

Grady, don't!

Whoa, Nellie.

Urquhart!

It's me! Grady!

outlaw

Elvis has left the building.
Let's go.

Get down!

Take this and head
for the vault.

The vault?

It's got a time lock,
doesn't it?

Yes.

You go when I tell you.

Wh--

just do it.

I'll be right behind you.
Don't worry.

Alec: You ready?

Vicky: Yes.

Go. Now!

Die for gresha.

Carville!

Come out and face me,
you pidar gnoinyj!

You don't get it,
norvid.

It's not about you.

Albright: Move out!
Go, go, go!

Oh, shit.

I hate this country.

I hate this goddamn country!

Move in! Go! Go!

Get in, get in, get in.

You sure you know
what you're doing?

You want a piece of me,
FBI scum?

Let's go! I'll
take you all to hell!

Aah!

Yeah, come on!

How long till this thing
can be opened?

9:00 tomorrow morning.

It at least buys us some time.

Agent Paris?

2 of them went
into the vault.

It's on a time lock,
and we won't be able

to open it
till morning.

Albright:
Good work.

Shit!

All right,
secure the building,

then get your men
the hell out,

and I need to know
the exact time

that vault opens.

We've been down here
for a few hours,

and all you do is
stare at that thing.

Alec?

I know.

I'm sorry.

Just got lost.

Ok.

Urquhart told you

what this was
all about, didn't he?

Yes.

I think I have
a right to know.

And I think the less
you know, the better.

How can you
say that?

How many more people
need to die?

This isn't
your fault.

Isn't it?

No, it isn't.

You're blaming yourself
for what happened to her.

No. No.

This--

it's been 11 years,
Alec.

It's been 11 years.

How do you know

that they're
telling the truth?

How do you know that
she's still alive?

Stop!

She is alive.

I feel it.

She was a flower

Of spring.

Sunitska, one day you
and your country will be free.

Alec: Oh, my god.

Maybe I will create
something happy--

flowers maybe.

I think I know
who painted this.

Remember when I said
I could use your help?

Yes.

What do you
want me to do?

Man: Rise and shine.

Room service.

Can I give
you a hand?

Thank you.

Sure.

Ms. Best?
Yes?

You ok?

I'm fine. Thank you.

Urquhart: Ha.
I'll take it from here.

Show her out, will you?

Thank you.

We have a counselor
waiting for you,

if you'd like.

I don't need a shrink.

I just need some food
and a bathroom.

Hmm.

It's been a long time.

Excuse me, miss.

Um, can I ask you
a few questions?

No, can't this wait?

I realize

Vicky! Are you ok?

Yeah, I'm great.
I'm great.

Are you sure?

I was so worried
about you.

I couldn't--
I couldn't sleep.

Ok, Tom,
you got what you want.

Nowneed a favor.

Yeah?

Basil bellanin
has Sonya.

If I don't deliver
that painting,

he's gonna kill her.

Basil bellanin.

I haven't heard that name
in a while.

I think it's best I go
to bellanin's on my own.

Why don't I contact you
when I'm through?

I'm afraid bellanin's
gonna have to wait.

Oh, Alec, Alec,

you should've
stayed dead.

You know, Tom,

I kinda hoped you'd be
one of the good guys.

Too many years
of budget cuts

in the new world order.

New world order, huh?

Is that why
you didn't come get me?

Sorry, pal.

You got in too deep with
your Russian contact.

Too close
to the other side.

We thought
you were gonna turn.

Wasn't
anything personal.

Never is.

Let's go.

Come on.

No final pitch, huh?

Try to get me
back on side?

Where's my speech?

You know, the old

You're an invaluable
asset, Alec.

We could really use you
on this mission.

You gonna
close this file?

You shoot me
in the back.

Let's not make this any harder
than we have to, ok?

Don't sweat it, Tom.

I'm already dead,
remember?

All you gotta do is
pull the trigger.

Nice shot.

Thanks.

I haven't pulled
this trigger

in over 7 years.

How come every time
I see you,

somebody's trying
to shoot somebody?

I don't know.
Just lucky, I guess.

Who the hell are you?

Alec carville.

Ex-CIA.

Well, then why--

my whole history's
in the car.

Look, I don't have time
to explain it to you.

I got the bottom half of
a doubleheader to catch.

I owe you one.

Sources are now reporting
that a third suspect

in the recently ended
hostage incident

at the Atlantic global bank
in downtown Boston

may still be at large.

This is Jackie Casey
reporting for channel 13 wzin.

Anchorman: A 49-year-old
unidentified man

I knew I could
count on you, Alec.

I see
you found your way in.

I knew I could
count on you, Alec.

Where's the painting?

Oh, yes, the painting.

You see,
I didn't bring it

'Cause you don't have her.

You never did.

Let me see if I remember
that game we played that night.

Answer incorrectly
or refuse to answer,

that's a strike, right?

Tell me
what I want to know

And you can take your base.

Are you crazy?

All it takes
is one phone call

and she's dead.

Where is she, basil?

Unless you want
Sonya to die,

I suggest you
lose that thing

and hand over
the painting.

Ooh,
big swing and a miss.

Strike one.

Cash. I'll give you half
the value of the painting,

in cash.

That's what 11 years
of my life is worth?

Half of something
I already have?

You're not doing too well,
basil.

Strike two.

Uhh.

She's in yezhov,
isn't she?

In the cell
next to yours.

She and kitover

were arrested
the same day you were.

And you tortured me
for 2 days?

Aah!

Ohh.

Who sold the painting
to the CIA?

Schroeder.

The doctor that you'd killed
on the way out of yezhov.

We were associates once.

So he double-crossed you.

Yes.

But we got him back,
didn't we?

You just don't get it,
basil.

You see, kitover trusted Sonya
with the formula that night.

Her painting, spring,
was a legacy to me.

For that alone,
I thank you.

If you want
to see her again,

you'll have to go back!

Not a problem.

I already made
a reservation.

But I have some time
to kill.

Wait!

The painting.

Where is it?

It's in a safe place.

Now hold still.

I wanna clear
the green monster.

Woman on radio:
Still working on it.

I'll get to it
when I get it all again.

Can I help you,
detective?

What's this?

Everything you and urquhart
said in the Van.

What the hell
are you doing?

You can't touch me.
I got a deal. I'm protected.

You had a deal,
with urquhart.

Urquhart's dead.

Hey! The conversation
was protected

under national security.

Look, the judge
will never admit it!

I can't wait to find out.

Windmills my ass.

Woman: The victim's
going to mercy hospital.

Man: Need a shot of this
over here.

Man: We need some evidence
dragged up to the second level.

Woman: No problem.
I'll be right up.

No, don't touch that.

Don't touch that
without rubber gloves on.

So this is looking great.

Thank you
for my spring.

I've been all around
the world

you know, babe,
I've seen things

but nothing like you has ever
come along before this

I thank my lucky stars
the bosses haven't found me

and I

I

we'll make it up
way in the sunshine

come on, come on,

I finally made it
to your beaches, baby

I've been waitin' so long,
you sit and wonder

how could a man get this far
without your love, girl?

and I'm comin' home soon

you'll never have
to worry again

but nothin' like you has ever
come along before this

I thank my lucky stars
the bosses haven't found me

and I
