- Two steps. - Thanks.

- Are you happy? - Oh, yes, I am.

Watch your step. Hi.

Stay cool.

Mr. Malkovich?

I'm Alan Carstairs, assistant manager in charge of administration.

You are with Harlequin, is that right, Mr. Malkovich?

Yes, George Malkovich. That's right.

Well, you've come loaded for bear.

Always. I understand the admin floor has been completely cleared?

- Oh, yes. - Splendid.

Perhaps I could take a look at the lobby. I understand it's beautiful.

- Hotel very full? - It's our quiet time of year.

But it should pick up once the summer kicks in and the film festival is over.

- And, of course, it is Sunday. - Sunday at the hotel with George.

Quite.

They bring in....

My office is on the second floor, if there's anything else that you need.

- Hi. - Mr. Gerhardt. Manager of the hotel.

Mr. Blaisdell. Hans Gerhardt. Welcome to the Sutton Place Hotel.

- Sorry for such short notice. - No problem. It's a pleasure to have you.

And everything is ready for you.

Wedding reception in the rooftop ballroom.

Last-minute booking. I'm trying to scramble.

- How many weddings do you have here? - At least one a week.

- At least one a week? - But yours will be unique.

Well, I'm gonna see if I can get your men up to the 30th floor.

Do that.

- And if you do marry Tyler...? - Then will you be a best man?

I would be honored.

The grandson of Kwai Chang Caine walks out of the past.

But I want to fight.

Yes. So did your great-grandfather when he was your age.

He teaches his son wisdom at a Shaolin temple.

An evil force destroyed that temple.

Father and son each believed the other had perished.

Fifteen years later, they were reunited.

Now Caine faced new challenges...

...and his son grew up.

Look, I'm not my father. I don't do kung fu.

I'm a cop. That's who I am, that's what I do.

I am Caine.

I will help you.

This wallpaper, completely inappropriate. Dull.

Horrible, shoddy workmanship. You must be careful not to be ripped off again.

Quite so. Your work will finish in this office here.

- And through there? - Our safe-deposit boxes and the vault.

Not down in the lobby?

Oh, no. Those are for our casual guests. These are for our....

Your special guests. The ones who stay for months.

- The ones with real valuables to protect. - Quite so.

I hope that door is locked. Alas, not all my men are saints.

Locked, sealed, impenetrable.

And if anybody did get in, we have a time lock...

...and a very complicated fail-safe mechanism.

- Of course you do. - If I can be of any further assistance....

You want these renovations done, we can't keep tripping over hotel staff.

Yes, yes, all sorted. We've set up a temporary office down in the lobby.

- The 30th floor is off-limits for the day. - How can we be sure of that?

We'll program the elevator to bypass the floor.

- Perfect. - Oh, right-o.

- Go get me a hammer, will you? - Right.

- Well, good luck. - Why, thank you so much.

He tried to escape twice. I thought you boys went way back.

I will not do this.

Andrei, consequences.

That's how men like us have lived our lives.

- You cannot threaten me. I'm dying. - Of what?

None of your business.

Do try to make it through the afternoon. Look, Andrei, I'm helping you.

Your wife and family will be on a 747 out of Saint Petersburg.

Aren't you glad they changed it from Leningrad? A peasant's name.

Tomorrow afternoon, for dinner...

...at the Vladivostok Restaurant on Elm and Third.

Rather authentic cuisine, I'm told.

Your contacts are gone. The KGB is finished.

You have no network.

Shadow men. We are everywhere. Isn't that right, Mr. Becker?

That's a fact, George.

Cut a spy, and 15 more run out of his pores.

Make him bleed, and that blood breeds rats.

I can wipe out your family with one phone call.

Or introduce them to the wonders of the urban-American nightmare.

Your choice.

Hello.

Jack, it's Alan Carstairs. Seal off Floor 30, will you?

Right, Alan.

What?

Don't even think it.

Yeah. Okay, okay, you guys, Now, now. Hey, hey. Come-- All right.

- This is a bust. You're under arrest. - These kids.

So, what are you gonna do with your share?

Well, I know it's all mine.

Keep the firepower out of sight.

All goes according to plan, we won't have to fire a single shot.

- Elevator. - Stay cool.

Don't mind us. We're stopping on every floor.

Milk run.

Stick your hands up. This is a bust.

- Are you going to arrest all of us? - I apologize for this.

Oh, you're gonna be disciplined for this. No 90210tonight.

- Excuse me. - Why are they all standing around?

Aren't they supposed to be working?

They saw nothing.

You are standing in front of a reflective surface. He might not have been sure...

...of the shape of the weapon, but he'll be thinking about it.

- Some guy in an elevator? Who cares? - He's a police officer.

- I must've missed the badge and ID. - You also miss a lot of television...

...drinking vodka and picking up 15-year-olds...

...or else you would've seen this man on the news.

He shot up a club called the Agrippa over on Chestnut...

...to stop a robbery in progress, I believe is the phrase.

So he's a cop. He's here for someone's wedding.

- He's off duty. - This cop's never off duty.

- Forget about him. - I can't do that, thanks to you.

Get out of the overalls and splash on some aftershave.

We're crashing the party.

Are you nuts?

Don't ever ask me that.

Take out all the elevators but one. Secure the stairs.

Secure on 30.

You do good work.

Well, I heard from Mary his morning. She felt that she was so much better.

- Sir? - No.

Excuse me. I wanted to....

I wanted to thank you for blessing my daughter's marriage.

It meant a great deal to Peter to have you there.

He's gotten very close to my family in the past few years.

It is he who is fortunate.

There is no one in this room who's happier than I am...

...that Peter has found his real father.

The generosity of your spirit does you honor.

There's no generosity about it.

I've been holding a tiger by the tail since he was 15 years old.

How's he handling the reunion?

He has much anger, doubt, fears.

How are you handling it?

Rage.

Pleasure.

Hope.

All sounds from the same flute.

- What does that mean? - As best I can.

- Your benediction was beautiful. - Oh, a simple prayer.

Oh, we're so happy you're with our family today.

Stepmothers and lost fathers have to stick together.

You have not always been blind?

That's right.

A nurse turned up the oxygen just a tad too high when I was three months old...

...and in the hospital with whooping cough.

But I'm disappointed.

Most people, when they first meet me, don't know I'm blind at all.

I can see beyond the eyes.

A sometimes unfortunate gift.

You do not use a cane?

Well, he's my cane.

And you know what they say about the other senses intensifying.

Well, I can hear soda being splashed into a highball glass from 50 yards.

Everything all right? Anything you want, just let me know.

Double duty today. The catering manager's off sick.

Touch of food poisoning. I'd steer clear of the flaming rum trifle.

I'll remember that.

Ladies and gentlemen, may I introduce the bride and groom:

Mr. and Mrs. Todd and Carolyn McCall.

Hi, baby.

The father of the bride and the mother of the groom, please step forward.

And the mother of the bride and the father of the groom.

- No. - Oh, come on.

I don't know.

No way.

--looks beautiful.

- Is this a pitch? - No, just a hell of an idea.

- Yeah, first, we'd have to be in love. - We've done that.

- Then we'd have to sleep together again. - We could do that.

And one of us can't be crazy.

Now you got me.

Where's Peter?

I know.

Talking with friends.

He told me he never knew his mother.

No.

Tell me again about my mother.

She was very beautiful.

She always wore a yellow flower in her hair.

Ping Hai said that she looked like a movie star.

She did.

Which one?

- Rhonda Fleming. - Who?

Watch the Late Show.

It was her soul that radiated most of her beauty.

Why did she have to die, Father?

I cannot answer that.

To return to the root...

...is to return to one's destiny.

Will I ever have a new mother?

Perhaps, my son.

One day...

...perhaps.

- He always carried her picture with him. - Still does, in his wallet.

Yes. But now it is your image he carries in his heart.

I think I'm gonna like you a lot.

It's time for me to sing.

Is she thawing out?

Yeah, like the iceberg that hit the Titanic.

Look at this spread.

When I got married, it was in Vegas, with a casino dealer as witness...

...the guy who married Elvis hauled out of bed, and a handful of rice.

I wish I could've been there.

Now I got the mortgage, the kids, the dogs...

...the tag team of orthodontists to support.

Who knew?

He's a kind of mystery, isn't he?

The old man. Never talks about his life before the police force.

- Your first date? - My turn.

I hear whispers about the CIA...

...and the killing of a top terrorist leader in Namibia.

You remember when he just disappeared a couple years ago during Desert Storm?

Advising Schwarzkopf, swear to God. That's what I heard.

Champagne, sir?

Carstairs. You certainly know how to throw a party.

A private party.

If you want to take a coffee break, there's a machine on the admin floor.

- I have sandwiches ordered. - How thoughtful.

Mr. Malkovich, need I remind you this is private party?

You are not invited. You are a decorator here.

Do you understand me?

What do you think you're doing?

Mystery's part of mystique of the Blaisdell family anyway.

Excuse me, sir.

- Did you hear about that? - Yeah, I know.

When you decide to crash a party, you really do it, you really go for it.

- Going to arrest me? - I left my handcuffs at home.

Let's hope he hasn't.

I know what you mean.

Keep your eyes open.

Here's the deal.

We are both going to spend Sunday afternoon...

...at the Sutton Place Hotel.

You are going to enjoy a lovely wedding reception.

We're robbing the hotel.

Oh, you got a lot of nerve telling me that.

You don't know what nerve is.

Okay.

Excuse me.

Kelly, Blaisdell's younger daughter. Such a beautiful bridesmaid.

Ladies and gentlemen...

...an announcement that should not cause you any undue alarm.

Our elevators will be out of action for a couple of hours.

- What? - A bit of flooding. A burst water main.

But they will be operational...

...long before you want to leave such a beautiful reception.

And now it's my great pleasure to introduce...

...from the Agrippa club, Tyler Smith.

You will also find that the phone lines have been temporarily disconnected...

...so no one calls for help.

I'm supposed to sit here while there's a robbery in progress three floors below?

Unless you have a fortune in one of the safe-deposit boxes...

- ...I wouldn't give it another thought. - What if I do give it another thought?

Maybe share that thought with others?

Now, we did bring more than paint rollers and carpet tacks with us.

At the first hint of betrayal...

...we will come up here with AK-47s and hose the room.

A great many people die. Don't be a hero.

They don't die young, they die stupid.

We got trouble.

Yes, I know.

Come on, baby. Come with us.

Hors d'oeuvre, sir?

Excellent hors d'oeuvres, particularly the salmon rolls.

We took out a little insurance in case you become restless.

Your bridesmaid will be returned without harm.

In two hours, we will be gone, and the bride will be an old married lady.

Enjoy.

We must act.

We must do nothing. He's holding all the cards.

His eyes are dead.

Like Tan's.

He sleeps without dreaming. He breathes through his heels.

He has no dread of death.

Isn't that the description of a true man?

You remember? Yes.

But this man has no passion. He has no lust for life.

His word cannot be trusted.

I believed him when he said he'd come here with troops...

...and hose down the room with bullets.

Why do you believe, if you comply with his wishes...

...he would do anything else besides that?

One elevator is working. I sent it down to the lobby.

It will bring no one past the 30th floor.

You need keys and elevator passes to accomplish that.

I have friends in low places.

You are going to keep this reception running smoothly and efficiently.

One false move...

...and the men who are staying open fire into the crowd.

- Do you understand? - Perfectly.

Carry on.

Do you know who my father is? He's a police officer.

My father too. Only, he's dead.

His face was blown away by a half-crazed junkie...

...to get to the change in his pocket.

Let's hope that doesn't happen to your daddy.

It won't, because he won't be coming down here.

Keep her quiet, keep her comfortable, and no more rough stuff.

Hey, she didn't wanna come down the stairs.

Neither would I.

This ordeal will be over in a short time.

And then you may return to your party.

How goes it?

Slow.

There's more than three steel panels here. Got to be at least five.

I don't care if there are 10, cut through them.

You've got to get me into that vault, Andrei.

Come on, you know this alarm system backwards.

I can't think. I can't work it out.

The contents of just one of those safe-deposit boxes--

Let's say Room 148, our Dallas jeweler. --will ensure that you and your family...

...will live out the rest of your days in comfort.

How about Orlando, Florida?

Disney World down the street, McDonald's at the corner.

- What more could they want? - Why should I believe you?

I gave you my word.

And which deposit box will innocent people die for?

What are you after?

Coin collections? Stocks? Bonds? Cash? A contessa's jewels?

A black book in which numbered Swiss bank accounts are listed...

...along with the names of Nazi traitors? Tell me it's something provocative.

Just get me in there. Time is running out.

That's a good boy.

That's interesting. Let me have a look at it.

- Dad, I can't find Kelly. - You know Kel. She's cruising.

Now, be fair. Just because she's a little wild from time to time....

So was I once. You're not supposed to know that.

And neither are you. Here, I found these on the floor in the bathroom.

Oh, she probably didn't even know she dropped them in all the...

...excitement.

I'll find her. You two mingle.

And go entertain. That's an order. Come on.

Yes, captain.

- What do you think of that? - Quite a kick.

- What do you call it? - It's called a grasshopper.

A grasshopper?

Let's get those trays out now.

You're supposed to lace the lettuce with dressing, not drown it.

Excuse me. Guests are not allowed in the kitchen.

What are you doing?

My knife wasn't sharp enough to cut my salmon roll.

- Now, look here-- - Listen, I'm a cop, okay?

I know what's going down. Just keep cool.

Keep the food coming, keep the party humming.

I'll do my best.

- What are you going to do? - Damned if I know.

Something's wrong, I can feel it.

No. I merely am uncomfortable at these kinds of occasions, that's all.

- Have you seen Kelly? - No, I haven't.

Does that seem like a weird question to ask a blind chick?

Not to me.

What's in your hand, Paul? Are those Kelly's earrings?

- How could you know that? - Well, I can smell her perfume.

Come off her fingers when she put them on.

She dropped them. I'm gonna take a walk.

Maybe Master Caine would take you to your seat, all right?

- Well, I didn't know you were a master? - A priest, not a master.

There is something wrong. I can feel it.

Yes...

...there is.

But I will fix it.

- Great party, isn't it? - Yes, Frank.

If the elevators are not functional, there are always the stairs.

Well, do you think we should check them out?

- It would seem logical. - Don't sound like Spock.

- Who? - I gotta get you with the 20th century.

Listen, here's the deal. For today, you're my partner.

- I would be honored. - Okay, let's roll.

Fellas.

We can't go unarmed against an M16.

It's dead. We're stranded. Cut off. I don't see a way out of this, Pop...

...unless your Shaolin skills include crawling down the outside of a building.

I know. I know. Never call you "pop."

Oh, boy.

Sir? Are you all right?

Nothing to worry about, ladies and gentlemen.

Little too much of the grape.

Come on, let's get you up on your feet. Walk it off.

Oh, gosh.

You know, this would all be most awfully exciting...

...if it wasn't so damn terrifying.

Can your staff be trusted to keep our little secrets?

Of course. They're in my cricket team.

I don't suppose that you have a window-washing unit outside?

That'd be handy, wouldn't it? But I'm afraid not.

There is another way down.

Not much longer.

You wanna tell me what's going on?

You see that guy by the bar and the guy in front of the head table?

I saw them. They're not on the guest list.

- There are three or four more. - There are only three now.

Robbery in progress.

Administration offices, 30th floor. They got men in the stairs.

Well, if you're taking out three of them, you got their guns.

- Kelly's a hostage. - Kel.

One shot echoes down those stairs, and they're gonna cut her throat.

We'll find her.

We got a chance to get below the 30th floor.

All right.

We'll take out the other three. We better break this up.

This might be a good time to laugh at one of my bad jokes, huh?

This is police business. You don't have to go with him.

I do. He is my son.

- Can't find them. - You better tell George.

No. No.

Oh, no, I can't do this.

Yes, you can.

You must land without disturbing the pebbles.

I can't.

I'm afraid.

Great fear is accepting the unknown.

Small fears eat away at the heart.

You must learn to overcome them...

...or they will devour reason.

I get dizzy.

- I am not a bird. I cannot soar like one. - Yes, you can.

I will catch you to break your fall.

- Trust me. - No. I can't.

I can't.

- I can't jump. I can't jump, Father. - Trust me.

I will catch you. I will break your fall.

Yeah. Butch and Sundance had a river to jump into.

Think of-- Think of....

Think of not disturbing the pebbles.

The pebbles? You're gonna have to use better imagery than that.

Think of the hostage they are holding.

Okay. Okay. Yeah, that's better. I can-- That's better motivation.

Here we go.

Jump.

Trust me.

See? You can do it.

Do not let your fears haunt you.

They are small and of no consequence.

Yeah. Yeah. Easy for you to say. You're not the one jumping.

Father!

Grab my hand. Do it.

Good. Good boy.

George used to be the best.

A lean, mean machine.

Cut a man's throat, then play chess over the phone with the Romanian champion.

Mysterious, that's our Georgie.

We all thought he was born in Transylvania.

Really did.

Where was he born?

Baltimore.

He's butter now.

May be time for him to retire.

The bride was gorgeous.

Maids of honor never get their due.

This dress is gorgeous.

A little provocative, I would've thought...

...but that's how fashions are nowadays, aren't they?

Sassy.

I like that.

I like that a lot.

We have time.

Here.

If I cut the wrong wire, the alarm will go off...

...whether you open the door or not.

Cut the right wire.

All of my family: my wife, my children, my grandchildren, everyone.

That is our understanding. They all come here.

I told you, you have my word.

Becker.

Station 3 secure, George.

You didn't tell him we're missing three men?

And have George go ballistic?

We'll take care of things up here ourselves. Now, find them.

You are all right?

Oh, yeah.

You better come quick.

- Andrei. What is it? - Pills. I need my pills and prescription.

Hurry.

I have to go to the bathroom.

- Can't you wait? - No.

Sorry. You're gonna have to wait.

That will be quite enough, Vallance.

Let the young lady do as she requested.

Get this filled at the pharmacy in the lobby.

It's Sunday. They're closed.

I need those safe-deposit boxes opened...

...and that won't happen if Andrei has a heart attack. Talk to Hans Gerhardt.

Tell him it's an emergency. Now.

It's okay, Peter.

Oh, no.

Grab the sash.

Grab the sash.

Swing. Yes.

Here we go.

- I'm having a great time. - You're a good dancer.

- I mean it. You are. - I'm trying.

Frank.

You sure throw one hell of a party, captain.

We've got a problem.

Let's go.

- Police. We need to use your computer. - What's the trouble?

I need the codes for the security system.

Sir, I can't give out that code, except with Mr. Gerhardt's permission.

There's a class-one felony. There's a woman's life at stake.

Give me the codes, damn it.

70529.

- Here we are, sir. - Thanks.

Your safe-deposit boxes are about to open, George.

What a beautiful sound.

It's too late. They're in.

Excuse me, sir. Excuse me. Guests are not allowed in the kitchen.

- Open this door. - I'm afraid I've given my keys away.

I said, open the door.

Well, that felt awfully good.

- Hi there. Swell party, isn't it? - Yes.

They're gonna have the vault and safe-deposit boxes empty...

...before we can even make a phone call.

Oh, I can accept no weapon.

Well, then you better get out of here right now.

Can I not be considered backup?

All right, you and me.

We'll take them out one at a time.

Just you and me.

Look what I got over here.

Oh, my God. I can't believe all this stuff.

Look at this, gold coins.

Help me with another briefcase, right over here.

But, you know....

Okay. Push them in. Push them in. Push them in. Stack them up.

Hurry up. Let's get out of here.

I know. Practice, practice.

- Thanks. - My pleasure.

Come on.

Keep going. Pack it up. We gotta get out. We gotta move.

- We gotta go. Come on. - Clock's ticking. Let's go.

My pills.

I don't think you'll be needing them now.

I'll say goodbye to your family.

So this is what your word is worth.

You betrayed me once.

Now...

...we are even.

Don't kill him.

I'm not as patient as Mr. Vallance. Time to polish my shoes, darling.

Think of it like your wedding night.

Stop right there.

Come on.

Peter!

Kelly, go!

Kelly, get out of here.

- Oh, no! - Where are you going, huh?

- Oh, no, no, no! - Drop it!

Drop it!

Drop it!

Do it!

I'll blow her away!

Do it!

- What the hell? - What's going on?

- Open the door. - Open the door.

It's okay. It's all right.

It's okay.

Secure, partner?

Secure.

- All ready to cut the cake? - You really look beautiful.

Can everyone see?

- There's Kelly. Just a sec. - She's there.

- Good job. - Thanks.

- Hi. Where have you been? - Hi.

Just having a grand old time. You know me.

- Well, talk about it over here. - Come on.

Let's go over there.

Hi. It's me.

Oh, sweetheart. You shouldn't leave me alone with this man.

How you doing?

Where have you been?

I was having a grand old time. You know me.

The bride does look beautiful.

Keep working at it. You might convince me yet.

Peter?

- I know. - Peter, come on.

- Come on, Peter. Come on. - Come on, Peter.

- Peter, you're family. - Don't be shy.

For a man to have two families is richness beyond measure.

Hold on.

You'll never grow up.

Go on.

- Okay, everybody. - Okay.

Look over here. Right here.

- Smile. - Smile.

- Okay, great. - Good one.

See you after the honeymoon.

I can see him, Peter. He hasn't gone far.
