[helicopter propellers spinning]

[muted voices over computers]

[Nick] Okay, here goes.

Okay, we're on.

You're looking at a chair
because I'm sitting in it.

My name is Nick Halloway.
I'm not sick,

and I'm not crazy
but I am invisible.

How can I make you believe this?

Okay, try this.

See? No strings.

Wait a minute.
This ought to do it for you.

[chewing]

-[spits]
-[dustbin clatters]

[sighs]

I'm making this tape because
in hours, I could be dead.

This is my last chance.

I've got a hell of a story
to tell.

Well, let's get right to it.

[Nick] It all started
on a Tuesday in March.

[Nick]
Thirty-six inches packed powder?

Great, can you get me into
the Aspen Lodge through Sunday?

[inhales] Just a single
with a king-size bed.

You never know.

Great. Thanks, Cheryl.
I'll get back to you.

Boykin called to ask
if you'd seen the announcement

of the proposed Allied-Security
oil merger on the broad tape.

Kaplan called again from
New York about Magnascopics.

You've got the OPEC thing.
Staff meeting's Thursday.

And you haven't begun that
oil-shale analysis for Roger.

Shall I keep going?

- What oil-shale analysis?
- You are here.

Roger. Come on in. Been trying
to get you all afternoon.

Now I've spent
most of the day on this.

I strongly recommend the company
examine oil-shale positions.

Great. Well,
everything else okay, huh?

Still going out with Denise Lee?

Went out with her six months
ago. Where you been, Roger?

You are without a doubt

the biggest bullshit artist
I've ever worked for.

Thank you, Cathy.

In fact, take the rest
of the day off.

- I'm going to my club.
- What?

Magnascopics tomorrow,

there will be a car outside
your apartment at 7:30 pm.

You promised Kaplan
you'd cover for him.

This is sick! How am I supposed
to get through all this? You go.

- You gave him your word!
- I was drunk.

It was 1:15 in the morning.
Get Moynihan to cover.

- You're committed.
-[sighs]

What about my commitments?

My family, my relatives?

You don't have any.

[Nick]
The day was panning out

like any other day in my life.

But what was about to happen
was gonna change it forever.

The Academy Club
is one of the last

private men's clubs
in San Francisco.

The sort of place
railroad tycoons

and robber barons
would hang out at night,

eat roast beef,
hire the occasional whore

and discuss how much
they stole that day.

I use the tennis courts.
I like the bar.

No, bad shoulder, no depth.

Put me down for a dime
on St. John's/Viiianova.

I'll take the points.

And I want the over
on Duke/Carolina.

All right. Thanks, Buzz.

Somebody's trying to get
your attention, Mr. Halloway.

1 think it's Mr. Talbot.

Don't look, Patrick.
Just pretend you don't see.

- Thanks, Patrick.
- Hi, Nick.

Hi, George.
How's the spastic colon?

[chuckles] What you doing?

Oh, writing my resignation.

I'm gonna start a foster home
for poor kids.

Girls, mostly. Late teens,
early 30s. 1 need a family.

Yeah. Come join us.
I'm here with some of the gang.

- No, I can't tonight.
-[scoffs] Come on.

- Come on, one drink, all right?
- All right.

It's just Ellen
and some pals of hers.

And Alice Monroe,
my sister Amy's friend,

from Cornell,
just got back from Brazil.

I've got an early morning,
ll can't--

Before you bail,
will you just have a look.

Well, maybe for a minute.

You know everybody,
don"t you, Nick?

- Hi, Ellen.
-[Ellen] Hi, Nick.

Oh, Alice Monroe, I'd like you
to meet Nick Halloway.

- Nick, this is Alice.
-[Alice] Hi, Nick.

Nice to meet you.

[Ellen] Where have you been
hiding yourself?

Where have you been?
ll see you got a haircut.

- Oh yeah. You like this?
- Looks good.

Alice produces documentaries
for the Smithsonian.

Oh, really?
I love the Smithsonian.

It's one of my favorite
institutions.

So, what kind of documentaries
do you produce?

Anthropological stuff,

traditional cultures,
cosmologies.

Cosmologies, love them.

It's one of my favorite ologies.

[chuckles] Patrick.

You went to law school, and you
were practicing in Boston.

What happened?

Well, my parents really
wanted me to be a lawyer.

It just wasn't for me.

It's gonna be Indiana/UNLV.
Maybe Arkansas.

Carolina.

The leap into film,
what did you do? Raise money?

- Your firm represented someone?
- No, I quit the firm.

And I got a job
as a production assistant

for a public television station.

- Next thing, I'm in the jungle.
-[Ellen] Mmm.

I think it's gonna be UNLV.

[Ellen] Primitive, huh?

There's really only a few places
in the Amazon

that could still be
considered virgin.

So, what did you miss most
when you were down there?

Hot showers, cheeseburgers.

[giggles]

I think Seton Hall
will go all the way.

- I hate TV.
- Me too.

- I like music.
- I love jazz.

I hate weight lifters.

Narcissists.

Love skiing.

Love the ocean and the woods.

I love blond hair.

I love garlic.

- Nick.

- What are we doing?
- I hope it's foreplay.

We should get back.

Yeah. Yeah.
We should get back.

Let's not do anything
cheap and meaningless.

Okay, what do I owe you?

[giggles]

- You couldn't afford it.
- Oh.

- Ciao.
- Nice to have you back.

- Thanks, George.
- See you soon.

Making an early night, Nick?

I thought we were
all having dinner.

I promised I'd meet somebody.

Oh, really?
Maybe I'd better drop you.

Dinner's not such a great idea
with all this work I gotta do.

You like Italian?
We could go to Fiorello's.

It's dark, it's quiet,
it's got great pasta.

I'd love to, but I really do
have to meet somebody.

You're kidding. I thought
you were putting them on.

No.

Want to meet for lunch Friday
at the Brasserie?

Lunch? Let's go to Maui.

Nick, we have plenty of time.

You're right.

- Am I gonna regret meeting you?
- You already do.

[Nick] In a way,
it was all Alice's fault.

Maybe if 1 hadn't
met her that night,

and she hadn't been
so incredibly beautiful

I wouldn't have gone back to
the bar and drunk myself silly.

[sighs]

The next morning, I was never
so hung-over in all my life.

[man] It is my pleasure
to present the chairman

of our scientific advisory board

and the Sidney Leavitt professor

of theoretical physics
at Berkeley

Dr. Bernard Wachs.

[applause]

[Bernard] Welcome.

Accustomed as we are today

to think of magnetism
as the vector of spins

and orbits
of subatomic particles,

it is often with astonishment

that we discover
how different men

viewed the set of phenomena
that we group together

under the term "magnetism.”

The Greek philosopher Thales,

as early
as the sixth century B.C.

observed
the extraordinary ability

of lodestones
to attract other pieces...

[voice slowed down]

-[grunts]
-...returned to original value.

A vector quantity that specifies
direction and magnitude

of the force every point
in our magnetic field

may temporarily convert
the external...

Fifteen minutes in and we're not
up to the birth of Christ?

Call me when he gets
to the Inquisition.

Excuse me.

[people chattering]

Uh, excuse me. Is there
a men's room around here?

Yes. Just down the hall there.

- Oh, shoot!
- Thank you.

-[people] Whoa!
-[electrical zapping]

[classical music playing]

Hello?

[gasping]

-[electrical zapping]
- Stay back.

[classical music
continues playing]

[sighs]

[people shouting]

Ten minutes.

Ten minutes,
I'll be as good as new.

Von Erxleben's design
breakthrough

-allowed an enhanced...
-[electrical noises]

What?

[alarm blares]

[people shouting]

Get out! Get out! Run for it!

Go! Move!

[Chairman] And is it not true,
Mr. Jenkins,

that you were in
Tegucigalpa, Honduras

the very same day
that Dr. Mendoza

fell to his death

from the 21st floor
of the Hotel Presidente?

Mr. Chairman, I was in Honduras
as a consultant

to the Pan-American
Democratic Relief Organization.

You're not paid by the CIA?

You were never a station chief
code-named Scorpion?

You weren't in the
Federal Republic of Germany

two years ago when a defecting
chief chemist for IG Farben,

a Dr. Hans Bodnik disappeared
off Thulestrasse

and later, fell to his death

from the Hotel Continental
in Wirzburg?

I'm sorry, would you repeat
the question?

How did those whores
put me in Wirzburg?

Don't worry about the dog
and pony show, David.

We got a case-red priority.

Something's happened
at Magnascopics in Santa Mira.

We need you in California.

- Read this.
- What is it?

It's not what it is,
it's what it isn't.

Come on.

[Nick] I don"t know how long
I was unconscious,

and I don't remember waking up.

But when I did,
I was in a nightmare.

Nothing around me was right.

I could see pieces
of the office,

jagged edges of the building.

Was I hallucinating?

Because all laws of physics
seemed to have been suspended.

[indistinct chatter]

[man over loudspeaker]
Your attention, please.

If you are entering the site,
use caution.

While the building
has the appearance

of having been severely damaged,

we have found no debris,
no sign of a blast pattern.

The building remains intact.

You just can't see
certain parts of it.

Possibly some
molecular instability

has made
certain areas transparent.

Proceed carefully.

You may come in contact
with invisible surfaces.

Let's get some water to Decon!

All personnel,
use caution entering the site.

There are indications.

The building may still
be in flux.

[Nick] Everything inside me
said, "Get out. "

But when I moved, I found myself
floating in a dream.

I walked across the room,
or what was left of it.

I tried to re-orient myself.

What had happened?

Had I died? Was I a ghost?

[camera shutter clicking]

I had to think.
What was real and what wasn't?

Where... Where was my hand?
I couldn't see my hand.

Oh, God.

What had happened to me?

I needed help, but who?

I had to call somebody.

And then I knew.

It wasn't just the building.

It was me.

Jesus.

I walked over to the mirror.

I was right.
There was no reflection.

My body, clothes, everything
was gone. I was invisible.

I see it too.

Throw some light up there.

Hey!

Hey, help me!

- Help!
-[rustling sound]

-[pounding]
- Help! Help!

[Nick] What's the matter
with you? Help!

Jesus, can't you see me?

[pounding continues]

You,

Help! Right here! Right here!

[pounding continues]

Help me! Jesus,
what have they done to me?

[thud]

- Maybe he's dead.
- No, he's breathing.

I can see the blanket
moving up and down.

Boy, what we could do
with this freak on our team.

Talk about undercover.

Man, the contracts
we could haul down.

Forget it. First place
he's going is some lab.

They'll cut this guy and shove
tubes up his ass for years.

[Nick] What?

Keep your mouths shut,
all of you.

[Nick] Wait a minute.
Who are you guys?

What happened to me??
Why can't I see myself?

- Let's get him to the trailer.
-[Nick] No!

[Nick grunts]

You stay back!

I'm not going anywhere
till 1 know who you are

and what the hell is going on.

Oh, I'm sorry,
my name is David Jenkins.

May I know yours?

It's Harvey.

Well, Harvey,

I know the last few hours must
have been incredibly painful

and disorienting for you.

We need to get you medical
attention immediately,

starting with a complete
physical workup--

ll heard all about
your complete physical workup.

I'd just as soon not
have my balls floating

in a petri dish, thank you.

No don't panic, Harvey.

You've been through an trauma.
You're confused.

No shit! Hey, stop that!
Stop doing that!

- I want to call my lawyer.
-[David] Listen to me.

You're in a state of molecular
flux. You could be dying.

Now, if you wanna live,
you're gonna have to trust us.

- We're a team of scientists--
-[Nick] I don't believe you!

Harvey, you have to understand,

ll don't have the right to let
you leave here on your own.

If anything should happen
to you,

ll would be responsible.

Important decisions have to be
made about what's right for you

and these decisions have
to be made by qualified people.

I have to keep control
of the situation

for your sake and everyone's,
ll think you can understand that.

Harvey?

Yeah.

-[thud]
-[groans]

Close the gates! Seal the area!

[crackling noise]

[man 1] It's going! Take cover!

-[man 2] It's gonna blow!
-[man 1] Don't look at it!

[people screaming]

[Nick] I just kept running.
I must have run ten miles.

I have no idea, I just wanted
to get away from them.

Hey! Help!

By now I was in such a state
of shock, I was panicky.

I couldn't remember anything,
couldn't remember what happened.

I forgot I was invisible.

[chatter over police radio]

[lounge music playing]

I'll prove something to you.

[man mumbles]

Okay?

You didn't say something
to my face,

so I got something
to say to your face.

I---

You can't fire me.

Well, I'll fight you.
You can't fire me.

I'll fire you, so come on,
to my face, say it.

So, what's up?
Just say it to my face.

I'll get you two back.

You can't fire me!
I'll fire you back!

[whistles] Taxi!

Can you take me
to San Francisco?

Sure.

I'm gonna need
some money upfront.

Mm-hm.

Here. Here you go.

I'm gonna take a catnap.

Can you wake me up
when we get to the bridge?

[Nick] The first thing I had
to do was call my doctor.

No, no. That was stupid.

How would an internist help me?
I needed a goddamn magician.

Excuse me. Is this a cab?

Did you say something?

[Nick] Yes.
Sacramento and Powell.

Hey, uh,
could you pull over here?

[Nick mimics vomiting noises]

Sorry.
[mimics vomiting noises]

Oh, God.

Sorry. Oh, God.
[makes spitting noises]

Oh, baby.
[grunts]

Driver, could you take me
to San Rafael, please?

I changed my mind.

[Nick] I had to get into
the safety of my apartment,

where I could study myself,
figure out what had happened.

Maybe it would wear off
in a couple of days,

but what if it didn't?

What if I evaporated
into nothing?

[David] He may have
overheard something

that made him apprehensive
about it.

The explosion might have
frightened him, who knows.

Anything could happen to him.
He may be dead already.

I'm gonna have to take this up
with Parcells at Langley.

I don't think you want
to do that.

What do you mean?

Show him the data,
give him anything you want,

but say nothing about the man.

Let's keep this private, huh?

Now, think about it.

You say one word,

it becomes the deputy director's
show and not yours anymore.

We're out of the loop.

On the other hand,
if we grab him quick,

we become his control.

We're the only ones
that know he exists.

The single most
exotic intelligence asset

on the planet is ours

and ours alone.

What do you need?

...noon at an apartment
in the 300 block

of South Jefferson in Daly City.

The mother said she left her son
in Murphy's care Sundays

supposedly
just for a few hours.

Murphy, who lived
in the same building...

[Nick] I was starving, felt like
I hadn't eaten in a week,

which is easier said than done
when you can't see your hands.

[reporter]
Fire officials say the blaze

was caused
by a faulty space heater

in the second-floor
apartment on Diego Street.

One tenant said
the single-family unit

was being shared
by eight people.

The heat had been turned off
for three weeks

for failure to pay a gas bill.

There were no injuries reported.

There was an accident today
at the Magnascopics Laboratory.

A spokesman for the nuclear
regulatory agency says

that although the laboratory
was the site of research

related to nuclear fusion,

there was no radioactive
material at the site

and there was no risk
of contamination.

- No injuries have been reported.
- Bullshit.

However, authorities are
keeping the area cordoned off

as a precautionary measure.

An Oregon man is being arraigned
today on charges that he shot

and killed a wealthy
industrialist nine years ago...

Oh, Jesus.

[gurgling noise]

[vomiting]

[telephone rings]

What happened?

Where have you been?
Everybody's looking for you.

[Nick] For a moment, I thought
it had all been a dream.

But that didn't last.

[Cathy] I saw the news
about the fire at Magnascopics

and I was worried.

[Nick] The food I hadn't thrown
up the night before

had evaporated,
I was as transparent as ever.

- Oh, shit.
-[Cathy] Nick? Nick?

I'm here.

Sort of.

What happened out there?

[coughs]

Cathy, I've been sick as a dog.

What's this about a fire?

You didn't go, then?
You're sick?

Oh, well, I'm sorry.
Can I send you some soup?

No. I'll be fine.

Just reschedule all
my appointments for Monday.

- Thanks, Cathy. Bye.
- Bye.

[Roger] It's Roger.
Where are you?

Should we be long or short on
Allied? Stock is going crazy.

Would you call me, please?

-[call disconnects]
-[answering machine beeps]

[Alice] Hi, Nick. It's Alice.

I'm calling to confirm
our lunch on Friday.

Am I being too forward
about this?

What am I talking about?

We've already been
to the ladies' room together.

- See you Friday.
-[call disconnects]

[answering machine beeps]

[David] Nick. David Jenkins,
Global Devices.

Perhaps we met last night.

We got your name
from the register.

There will be an inquiry

into what happened
at Magnascopics last night.

We"ll need a signed statement--

[Nick] 7 knew that voice.

Who the hell did he think
he was kidding?

These guys were fast.

Robin, it's Nick Halloway.
It's important.

Mr. Cebron's in court today,

but I know
he wants to talk to you.

He does?

Are you in trouble with
the government or something?

Why would I be in trouble
with the government?

That's what Mr. Cebron asked
but they were being vague.

-[footsteps]
- Oh, can you hold on?

Oops. Robin,
they're paging my flight.

Tell him I'll call him
when I get to Dallas.

Dallas?

[Nick] Who the hell
were these guys?

How did they find me
so quickly?

I had to get out of there fast.

The first thing I had to do

was remember where I put
my jacket and shoes.

Keep that thing low
so when I mark him,

you don't get off a headshot.

We're at the front door.

-[sighs]
-[man 1] Zebra Team standing by.

- Alpha?
-[man 2] Ready.

-[man 1] Delta?
-[man 3] In place.

-[man 1] Baker Team?
-[man 4] Set up.

[man 1] Got a green light.
- Let's take this asshole.

[crash]

[cracking]

[David] I'm at the front door.

[Nick] Shit.

-[David] Give me the status.
- No movement yet.

-[door buzzer rings]
- Come on.

[woman] Is it all right
to open up?

[disguised voice] Yes, ma'am.
May ll come in to use the phone?

He seemed such a nice young man,
that Mr. Halloway.

Has he killed someone?

Oh, ll must have slipped.

Halloway!

I got him.

Oh, shit. California Street.

[Nick groans]

[grunts]

- Ow.
- Mr. McCaren, you all right?

- What happened?
- I think something hit me.

[chauffeur]
You sure you're okay?

[Mr. McCaren] My back.

Who are you guys?

[footsteps]

Halloway, are you there?

If you're hurt...

I'd like to help you.

Halloway, listen to me.

You can't escape.

Believe me, wherever you go,
whoever you tell,

it all comes back to me.

You must trust us, Nick.

We're the only people that
can give you your life back.

We're all you have.

It's lonely, isn't it, Nick?

When you're a freak?

[Nick] Fuck you.

[footsteps]

[footsteps continue]

[Nick] For hours, I wandered
the streets of the city.

I was a fugitive,
afraid of getting caught.

I kept imagining Jenkins
leaping out at me

from every dark corner.

Taxi!

As a child, when I'd dream
about being invisible,

I used to think
it would be so easy.

I could do what I want,
go where I want

and take what I want.

But that's the catch.

No matter how hungry I was,
I couldn"t give myself away.

My purse! My purse!

Oh!

[Nick]
I was starving and exhausted.

Somehow, I found myself
in the alley behind my club.

I figured it would do
for the time being.

In a building this size,
there would be places to hide.

[footsteps]

Finally, I formulated a plan.

I'd get to this Dr. Wachs
from Magnascopics,

show him what had happened.

Whatever he did to get me this
way, I would demand he undo.

Wachs?
Magnascopics doctor?

Last Wednesday?
ll was inside when it happened.

I beg your pardon?

Give me a dollar.
They could be watching us.

Does the word "invisible"
mean anything to you?

Where's the professor?

In the park, taking a stroll.

- Come on, we're gonna lose him.
- Relax.

But this is astounding.

I never dreamed.
They never told me.

Open your coat,
show me the rest of you.

- Trust me. It's all the same.
- Oh, dear God.

Look, there's got to be
another psychotron, right?

Can't you just take me there
and turn me back?

I'll forget the whole thing.

No lawsuits, no recriminations.
No harm, no foul.

Our research had nothing to do
with invisibility.

This was a completely
random freakish reaction.

- Don't say this.
- What are you doing here?

You should be with me,
with us, in the lab.

We must replicate the variables,

begin to explore
how this happened.

"Begin to explore”?
That's not good enough!

- You gotta help me now!
- It's gonna take time.

I don't have time!

I want my molecules back!
Look at me!

It's him.

You gotta turn me back.

[Dr. Wachs] No!

[Nick] Oh, God. You bastards!

Shit!

Would you bring me a phone,
please? Thanks.

[beeping]

[Alice]
Hi, this is Alice Monroe.

I'm meeting Nick for lunch
at the Brasserie.

Is he on his way?

[Cathy] I don't have you in his
book or I would have phoned.

Mr. Halloway's out sick.

[Alice] Oh.

- I hope it's nothing serious.
-[Cathy] No, it's the flu.

I'll tell him you called.
Can I take your number?

Yeah. Um, it's Alice Monroe,
555-9290.

- Sure.
- Thanks.

- Bye.
- Bye.

I guess I'll be eating alone.
Can I see a menu, please?

Thanks.

This is outrageous. I am
the Sidney Leavitt professor

of theoretical physics,
a member of

the National Academy of Science!

Shut up!

[David] I'll ask again.
Where is he?

I've already told you,
ll don't know.

Why didn't somebody tell me
there was a man inside?

When are you planning to make
contact with him again?

Exactly under whose authority
are you operating?

I deal with the deputy director
in Langley,

and Dick Parcells
would never sanction that stunt

that your goons pulled
in the park!

Now, Dr. Wachs,

what were you really doing
at Magnascopics?

I find it hard to believe that
this was all simply an accident.

I am aghast of this.

There's an invisible man
loose in the city.

I want to find him as much as
you do so, what are we doing?

Take off your jacket.

Why? What are you gonna do?

Don't worry, doc.
This won't hurt you a bit.

- Make a fist.
- What?

-[goon] I said, make a fist.
- Let me know when he's ready.

Why are you doing this to me?
All 1 know is that he exists.

And that's already too much.

Never been married,
parents both deceased.

The guy's got a few friends,
but not close to any of them.

Not exactly a workaholic either.

He kind of plays it fast
and loose.

It's always difficult
with people like this.

No strong emotional ties,
no political beliefs,

no particular interests.

As a matter of fact,
when you think about it...

the man has the perfect profile.

He was invisible
before he was invisible.

Look, he's not a pro.

He's alone. He's desperate.

He'll crack.

Where are you hiding, Halloway?

[Nick] I could only sleep
out of sheer exhaustion.

And when I did sleep, I would
dream, weird, crazy dreams

about what might have been
and what ll had lost.

Welcome, Nick.

Oh, Nick. Hi.

Hello, Nick.

Nick, good to see you.

Hi, Nick.

Hi, Nick.

- Nick, you charmer.
- Right this way.

[iazz music]

[cheering]

[screams]

Looking for something, Nick?

[gasps]

[cable car bell jingles]

[Nick] It was about time
I did look for something.

Maybe I could turn the tables
on them.

Find out what they knew
about my condition

and use it to my advantage.

[typing on keyboard]

[man] Who's up?

Vinny's up. Sit down and deal.

Yeah. I owe the pot $2.

Red dog, red dog,
face of red dog.

Nothing is wild,
and it starts with Vin.

Six dollars in the pot.

Pass? No pass?

[man] Congressman Davis
called for a third time.

Uh, Singleton called from L_A.
looking for Wachs.

I said what you told me to.

If we can't find this dude
for six months

is he gonna keep us
operational that long?

Singleton's weak
and he's unreliable,

but he knows the value
of the prize, believe me.

So let's start
with surveillance reports.

- Comments?
- Okay, phone calls...

[bone cracks]

[yawns]

[yawns]

-[buzzer rings]
-[door lock clicks]

Welcome.

I often sit here like this
at the end of the day,

in darkness and imagine
what it must be like.

Were you conscious
when it happened?

Did you feel yourself change?

Did you pray?

I've been worried
about you, Nick.

Is everything all right?

[faint thud]

How long have you been here?

Long enough to learn
a few things about you

ll thought I might tell
my friends at the Chronicle.

You don't have any friends
at the Chronicle, Nick.

You and I both know that as soon
as you go to the press

you become the last thing
you want to be.

A circus attraction.

- It all comes back to me.
- Bullshit.

You answer to people.
I heard.

Maybe I'll call Washington

and talk to a guy
named Singleton.

Let's say you do.

What do you think
you could control

the moment you make
your presence known?

If I work with you, I suppose
things would be different.

I could come and go as I please.

Put your goddamn hands
on the desk!

Now get a grip on yourself,
Nick.

Listen to what
we're offering you.

In exchange for what?

For your services,
of course, to your country.

You have a wider obligation now.

You can be
of immeasurable value to us.

I'm not doing your spying.

Suppose we'd had you,
an invisible agent, in 1939.

Maybe there wouldn't
have been a Second World War.

What are you saying?

You mean I would have
killed Hitler for you?

I mean, maybe you could have
saved 30 million lives.

Changed history.

Now, assassination,
anything at all,

is entirely ethical
if you're on the right side.

[objects clatter on floor]

Now you listen to me,
you son of a bitch.

I've lost everything
but my soul,

and you're not gonna
take that away from me.

Whatever I become, it's gonna
be my choice, not yours.

Is that clear?

Listen, we're prepared to give
you anything you want or need.

But you have to understand,

if you won't work with us,
I can't let you live.

I don't sleep well.

I can see through my eyelids,
through the top of my head.

I get walleyed, I get bat-shit!

[grunts]

Don't you ever touch me again.

[Nick] I'll kill him,
ll swear to God.

- Back off.
- Do what he says.

[Nick] Move it.

[David groans]

[David] Nick.

Contrary to what
you might think,

I am not without feelings.
[groans]

God. Don't you see, we're in
this together, Nick, you and 1?

We're not so terribly different.
We're iconoclasts.

Think of the adventure
we could have together. [groans]

Yeah, we can go to Frontierland.

See you, Dave.

Oh, Nick

[gun clatters]

Give me that.

[Nick] I had to get out
of San Francisco.

Jenkins would never
stop searching,

and I would never be safe
at the Academy Club.

He knew my patterns.

It would only be a matter of
time before he'd catch me there.

There were hotels, but they
would be more dangerous.

I couldn"t go back
to my apartment,

and I couldn't risk
confiding in anyone.

That's when I decided
on George's summerhouse.

Three quarts of vodka,
three quarts of scotch,

do you have any of those
little bouillon cubes?

Yeah, for soup or broth, you
know, chicken, beef, vegetable.

Well, which is clearest?
Clearest.

Which is most transparent?

I'm looking
for clear foods here, uh...

no coloring, easy to digest.

My doctor says I gotta eat
clear foods. I'm all gas.

Hold on a minute, will you?
What's that, George?

Mr. Talbot says, could you
please charge it to his account?

37 Beachfront Lane.
Thank you very much.

Yeah, tell the kid
to come in the front door.

Anybody home?

[humming]

Hello?

- Hey, dickwad.
-[gasps]

[Nick] 7 had to put the old Nick
Halloway behind me.

I'd create a new identity,
go underground.

- Morning.
- Morning.

Get myself a secure place
where Jenkins

would never find me.

[tennis ball bouncing]

I could play the market
by phone.

All ll needed was a name
on a brokerage account

and a couple of bucks
to start with.

I would become
the invisible tycoon,

and then... then I would make
them pay, all of them.

They would rue the day
they tangled with Nick Halloway.

Wow, George, it's beautiful.

Yeah. Everybody needs
a place to get away.

- Recharge the batteries.
- If you can get here.

- Here.
- We got here, didn't we?

Yeah, we did,
but that traffic...

Now half the day
is gone, George.

[George] Get in.
We'll drive back to the city.

[Ellen] Don't threaten me...

Shit, George.
What are you doing here?

Just forget it.
We're here, all right?

That's what I said.

God, the silence,

and the air out here.
[sniffs]

It makes me think of children
and the Fourth of July.

I like it better in the winter.
It gets crowded in the summer.

This is the first chance
I've had to relax

since I've been back.
Thanks, George.

[Ellen] It's so stuffy in here.

[sniffs]

It smells like somebody
had a fire.

Subletting to someone?

What the hell is going on?

I haven't been here
since January.

We should have a look around,
see if anything's missing.

Is there a gun in the house?

Goddamn it!

Somebody's been
wearing my clothes!

- This is certainly peculiar.
- What?

Everything's here,
my hidden key is missing,

and the Jacuzzi's
back on the timer.

I don't like this.
This is making me very nervous.

Whoever it is,
they left you fully stocked.

Someone put food
in my refrigerator?

There's some nice stuff in here.

There's a bottle of Montrachet,
a tin of beluga.

That's why I love Marin County.

You get a better class
of burglar.

It's gotta be my brother Chuck.

He must have split up
with Kathleen again.

- Oh, great. Great.
- Oh, God.

Wyborowa, 100 proof.
Chuck drink this?

No.

But I know who does.

[Richard] Halloway's in trouble.

I spoke to a pencil
pusher at some government agency

I never heard of.

He asked me the same
personal questions about Nick

the SEC did when
Charlie Randolph got busted.

There's a lot of confusion
over at Shipway & Whitman.

When a guy's been working there
10 years, suddenly disappears...

Roger Whitman's got auditors

looking to see
if anything's missing.

Do you really think
he's a thief?

Didn't strike me
as the embezzler type.

Knowing Nick,
he probably came here

to shack up
with somebody's wife.

Hmm?

If that's all it was,
he would have called me.

Why don't we just
change the subject?

Wherever he is, I'm sure Nick
would love to know

we're talking about him.

[Richard] I think Halloway
got in a lot of trouble,

came out here,
got nice and loaded

and walked into the ocean
one day.

[George] Oh, come on.

Nick's way too
narcissistic to kill himself.

He'll probably wash up
on the shore one day

all bloated and eaten by crabs.

Richard!

[Richard laughs]

[Alice] How can you
say these things?

I thought you
were Nick's friends.

[sighs]
It's just... I don't know.

I got a real funny vibe,
like he's dead.

Well, why don't you have
a séance, Richard, huh?

Get out your Ouija board

and call his spirit
from the dead.

I'm going to bed.

George.

Seems to me, if he was gonna
commit suicide in my house

he'd have the common
decency to leave a note

or clean up a little first.

Laugh, but be careful mocking
what you don't understand.

Nick! Nick!

If you're here with us,
Nick, give us a sign.

-[music blasts on TV]
- Jesus!

You bastard!

[laughs]

He could have been channeling
through me!

Shit!

Losing weight, Richard?

[Nick]
So much for my good friends.

Ellen, you wanna
get the lights?

[Ellen] Uh-huh.

- Night.
-[George] Good night, you two.

Well, I'm not really
that tired, are you?

Yeah. I'm exhausted.

Yeah, me too.

Meet you on the beach
for a swim, bright and early?

Sure. Sleep well.

[Nick] I remember feeling
an enormous sense of relief

that she didn't let him into
her room or kiss him goodnight.

[knocking]

[Richard] Alice, are you decent?

Yes.

What is it?

Il was going to save this
till 1 sold my novel.

[Alice] You're a broker,
not a novelist.

Actually,
I'm starting it this summer,

but I've got it all worked out
in my head.

[Alice chuckles]

This is really sweet,
but not tonight, I'm tired.

Oh, just a short one. Come on.

I really admire what you do.

You're so unlike
all the other women ll meet.

You don't seem caught up
in the bullshit.

Not yet anyway.

Richard, um...

I'm really gonna have
to say good night.

There's something
ll haven't told you.

My wife left me
three months ago.

God, I'm such a mess.

Can't work, can't sleep.

[sobs]

[sighs]

Richard, don't cry.

I'm sure it's what's best
for her.

- And you.
- I need you!

[Alice] Richard, stop!

[grunts]

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I don't know what came over me.

Maybe I misunderstood
the situation this weekend.

I'm sorry if you thought
that we were... This is awkward.

Just forget it ever happened.

Don't tell anybody
ll cried, okay?

Okay.

Good night.

[sighs]

[Nick] About the time
she fell asleep,

I stopped kidding myself.

I was nuts about her.

Why couldn't I have
met her a year ago?

-[Ellen giggles]
-[Nick scoffs]

Probably would have
messed it up.

Right here. Set it down.
Quick. Hurry up.

Yeah. Got it.

- Okay, wait a minute, George.
- What?

[Ellen] Just pin my arms down.
Good. Okay.

Oh. Wait a minute.
Could you just squeeze my butt?

-[chuckles]
- Oh! Yeah. That's it. Okay.

- Oh! Oh!
- Wait a minute. No, George.

-[George] Oh, I'm sorry.
-[Nick] Fate was cruel.

[Ellen, in sarcastic voice]
Well, that was memorable.

[George]
Just give me ten minutes.

Look at the moon or something.

[Nick] That night, I moved
to the house down the beach.

The next day,
I decided to call her.

[telephone rings]

Hello?

Hello?

-[Nick] Alice?
- Yes.

I need to talk to you.

Who is this?

It's Nick. Nick Halloway.
Remember me?

Nick Halloway. Is this a joke?

Listen,
please don't tell anybody.

I'm in the gray-and-white house
down the beach.

I'll leave the door
open for you.

Can you come down here, please?

Please, Alice.

[call disconnects]

[knocking]

Hello?

Hello?

[Nick] Back here.

Nick?

Alice, don't be afraid.
It's me, Nick.

Were you in an accident?

Yeah.

What happened?
Were you burned or something?

You want to sit down?

No.

Where the hell did she run to?
Bodega Bay?

It's been over two hours.

You never know.
Attractive girl, jogging alone.

I wouldn't worry
about that, George.

She's as strong as an ox.

David, I will not allow you to
turn this into another fiasco,

like the one you caused in Iran.

You want a job done,
I'm doing it.

I'm your Goddamn section head!
ll gave you this chance!

Wachs was supposed to be
in Washington two days ago.

Parcells is climbing all over me
to get to him. Where is he?

Wachs is sequestered.

I'm not convinced he's been
entirely forthcoming with us.

Now calm down, Warren.

Trust me.

All right. When do I get him?

- When I'm convinced.
- No.

When do I get the invisible man?

He may be here still,
but I doubt it.

I'll get him soon. Very soon.

I hope so, David,
because it's my ass on the line.

I don't intend to justify
these expenditures

and these methods
with no results!

I want him,
and if ll don't get him

you will be the next person
to disappear.

Perhaps a reminder of the state
of things might be in order.

I'm the one that kills people,
Warren, not you.

And if you screw up on me...

I will cut off your testicles,
1 will lightly fry them,

and Morrissey here
will have them for lunch.

Nick, maybe this isn't
the right thing to do.

I mean, running and hiding,

maybe you should be
in the hospital.

[Nick blowing] Not a chance.

They know every move I make.

Besides, there's nothing
a doctor can do. I feel normal.

I probably could use a shave,
but who's gonna notice?

[chuckles]

For years, women have been
telling me

they can see right through me.

Christ.

Can I touch you?

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

You do need a shave.

I never realized how important
it is to be seen.

You know, acknowledged?

You start questioning
whether you exist at all.

[sighs]
Oh, Nick.

I guess I forgive you
for standing me up.

The last thing you want to do
is watch me eat.

So how can I help you?

Open a brokerage account

and buy me 2000 shares of
a stock called Allied Resources.

[utensil clattering]

Having seconds?

Yeah I suddenly
got hungry again.

Must have been all that running
you did this afternoon.

Must be.

Well,

I'll just take this
up to my room

and I'm going to turn in early.

I'll see you in the morning.

[Nick] I know how to get
the broker to buy stock

without you ever having
to spend any cash.

[Alice] Okay.

You'll play what's called
a "float.”

ll trade through you until
ll build us a nice pile of money.

I cut you a check for half,
and I'm out of your life.

Were you in here last night?

Who? Me? You mean last night,
in this room?

Nothing would have happened,
you know.

Oh, hey, I know that.

Did you hang around afterward?

Alice, I didn't see a thing.
ll had my hands over my eyes.

[chuckles] Of course,
you can see right through them.

[Alice giggles
and chatters indistinctly]

[toilet flushes]

Good night, George.

This has been
a terrific weekend.

I'm glad at least you got laid.

Well, it was only Ellen.

I think you're crazy,
letting her stay here.

She's a family friend.
What am I gonna do? Say no?

You told me you heard
two distinct voices

coming out of her room.
Suppose she's really schizo?

Ah, George.

You're the best.

This will be the perfect place
for me to get some work done.

I left the number of a good
therapist I know in town.

If you feel like talking,
she's very understanding.

She's helped Richard a lot.

Thanks, George.

Good to know
Richard's getting some help.

Chuck, it's me, George.
Wanna hear a hot one?

Guess who broke into my house
and ran up $500

worth of food and booze
on my accounts?

Nick Halloway.

[George] No, he's not dead.
He's on a binge.

-[Nick] This is ridiculous.
-[Alice] No, it is not.

Just let me finish.
You owe me a meal anyway.

[Nick] I'm sure you have
better things to do,

places to go,
people to see.

[Alice] First of all, I do not
have better things to do.

I'm in between projects
right now...

and I'm not seeing anybody.

That's an understatement.

It's a lot more comfortable
than that Ace bandage.

It really works.

Oh, Nick, you have a face again.

If I had eyes and teeth,
I'd be a whole head.

It's nice to see you.

It's nice to be seen again.

You don't have any body makeup,
do you?

Dropped about ten pounds.

Bet I'd look great naked.

Good evening. Two for dinner?

Yes, please.

What's the matter?
Is something wrong?

Of course not, sir.
Right this way.

See? Nobody's staring at you.

Whatever they think, they
don"t think you're invisible.

No.

They're just seeing a beautiful
blond and a dead man.

To Elvis.

Oh, God.

Maybe we do have
a little more work to do.

You can go to any ball game
or movie for free.

Yeah.

You can look up girls' skirts,

hang around
ladies' locker rooms.

[chuckles] Okay.

Go naked anytime you want.

Almost have to now.

Never worry about people
telling you look older

or that you should lose weight.

You could have a brilliant
career as a bank robber.

[sighs]

[Nick]
Jesus, I'm screwed.

Nick...

I've been thinking.

I'm not sure me playing
the stock market

so you can live like a recluse

is the best solution
to your problem.

You got a better idea, Alice,
believe me, I'm interested.

We could go to Washington.

I know people there
who might be able to help.

[chuckles] You expect me
to trust a politician?

No, you're right.

But I want you to trust me.

You're not alone anymore.

[helicopter approaches]

Come on!

It's them. My clothes
are on the corner of the couch.

- Where are we going?
-[Nick] Far away, fast.

[dogs barking]

[man over speaker] May I have
your attention, please?

Announcing the departure
of train number seven...

[continues indistinctly]

...Vancouver and Calgary.

All aboard, please.

- Nick?
-[Nick] I'm here.

I got us a compartment
on the 7:30 train to San Diego.

We can figure out how to get
across the border to Mexico.

[thunderclap]

That gives us
about eight hours to kill.

[Nick] Look, they're gonna
catch me, Alice.

Just get on the train, go.

Get away from me.
These guys are nuts.

I'd never forgive myself
if something happened to you.

Nick, I'm not scared.

Whoever these guys are,
they can't control everything.

[Nick] God, I can't believe
I got you into this.

Forgive me.

This is something
ll have to do on my own.

[sighs]

[thunderclap]

Alice you're staring at my eyes.

I think we should get
out of the rain.

-[Nick] What's happening to me?
- Don't.

It's beautiful.

Boy, how am I gonna
tell my mom about this?

All the dirty parts
I'd leave out.

Just tell her you met a guy,
like him a lot,

could be serious.

He's transparent.

- Are you a Catholic?
- No.

That could be a problem.

- You know something, Alice?
- -Hmm.

If you were blind,
we'd make the perfect couple.

-[Nick] Mmm.
-[Alice giggles]

[man over loudspeaker]
May I have your attention?

Now ready for departure,
train number 12...

[continues indistinctly]

[Nick] I'm in.

-[sighs]
-[Nick] That was easy enough.

This isn't so bad.

I'm having second thoughts
about Mexico.

It's just not far enough away.

With a fax and a computer,
ll can trade from anywhere.

- It doesn't have to be Mexico.
- You mean anywhere?

Like Paris, Rome, Bora Bora?

Anywhere you want.

[train horn blows]

Although, I was thinking
of Switzerland.

A guy can get away with wearing
a ski mask all year round.

[chuckles]

Where's the next stop?

- Nick?
- Hmm.

- You asleep?
- No.

I was just daydreaming
about a New York strip steak,

baked potato
with sour cream and chives

and a hot fudge sundae.

Mmm, that sounds great.

I'll go get it.

Bring back a bowl of Jell-O
for you.

Thanks.

[muffled screams]

Hello, Alice.

Compartment C.

-[screams]
- Run!

Nick! Run!

Run!

[screams]

- Run!
- Halloway!

Alice!

Move! Move!
Get out of the way!

No!

[Nick] The current must have
swept me along for half a mile.

When I came to, I was being
washed toward a drainage pipe

and throwing up a gallon
of river water.

For all you knew, I'd drowned.

Your invisible man was dead.

But I knew you had Alice.

I was wrong to involve her
in the first place,

just like I was wrong thinking
I could run away from this.

I am what I am, Jenkins,
I know that now.

Other people will too,
unless you let her go.

You let her go, I'll come in,
that's the deal.

I'll say this:

your friend Halloway
has a flair for the dramatic.

I want you to be part
of our team, Alice.

- He needs you. We need you.
-[telephone rings]

Regardless of how it may seem,

I've never had anything
but his best interest at heart.

Where do they find people
like you?

[approaching footsteps]

It's him. He's on the phone.

Nick.

[Nick] I've got copies of that
tape in safe hands right now.

Anything happens to Alice,
they go to the networks,

the papers,
use your imagination.

Alice is here,
she's absolutely fine.

Tell me
what do you want me to do?

I want to see her walk out
the front door of your building

-and get in a cab.
-[David] And what about you?

Look out your window at
the phone booth on the corner.

[David] Yeah, I see you.

As soon as I see her out
of your building

and in a cab, I give myself up.

Try anything funny, I do
a striptease in the street

I'll guarantee it'll make
the 6 o'clock news.

Two minutes, Jenkins,
starting now.

Let's go.

I presume you've seen this.

He's outside,
we're five seconds away.

You murdered Wachs?

He's holding me
against my will.

We've won, Warren, he's ours.

We can own the agency.

You've lost it. You don't know
what you're doing.

I'm pulling the plug.
Let her go!

I intend to,
as soon as we make the switch.

Just like we agreed, Nick.

- Get the cab, Tyler.
- Yes, sir.

[whistles]

Nick, I love you!

Take her across the bridge
or something. Go!

We had a deal, Nick.

You shouldn't have tried to run.

[grunts]

[man] Hey, not so rough.

Jesus.

Where's Nick?

Wait a minute.
Where are we going?

[Nick] The Bay Bridge.

And I love you too.

Nick?

Nick. Oh, my God!

Nick.

Oh, look out.

That was George
in the phone booth.

I called Jenkins with this.

You told George
you were invisible?

Nah, of course not. Just made up
some bullshit story.

Told him you we're in trouble.
Asked him for a big favor.

God, I'm glad you're all right.

I got him.

-[Nick] Are you all right?
- Yes.

Nick, run! Run!

[groans]

Help! Help!

[groans]

I've got him crossing 7th Street
back toward Market.

- Huh?
-[man shouts indistinctly]

- Market Street.
- It's over!

You hear me?
I'm shutting you down!

You hear me?
I'm shutting you down!

-[man] He"s heading south.
- Left on Fifth.

Look, what about what Singleton
said? He signs the checks.

Aw, screw him, he's weak,
they're all weak.

Just think what Halloway
will fetch on the open market,

The Germans,
the Japanese, the Saudis.

You'll be a rich man, Morrissey.

[people shouting]

[grunts]

[objects clattering]

You're a natural, you know.
Cool, imaginative, elegant.

You've found your calling, Nick.

Il think we can work this thing
out together, you and ll.

Forgive and forget.

Start again fresh, with a deeper
sense of respect for each other.

Nick, I'll kill you
if I have to!

Now listen.

I'll commit every resource
we have to getting you back,

to making you whole again,

to reuniting you with Alice,
ll swear.

[Nick] You swore you were gonna
kill me a second ago.

I think you're losing your
marbles, Dave. Get it straight.

[David chuckles]

Bit of a tight spot, Nick.

-[cocks gun]
- Now, understand...

if I can't have you...

no one can.

I'm t...
I'm tired of the game, Dave.

One step back,
and it's all over.

Now wait.

I apologize for being rash.
It was stupid of me.

You are the most unique
human being on the planet.

You are walking history.

Don't run away from it, man,
embrace it.

[sobs]

You'll never know
what it's like.

Don't. Now, don't, Nick.

Don't come any closer!

Come on, Nick.
Just give me your hand.

- No!
- Give me your hand.

- Give me your hand, Nick.
-[screams]

Ole, you son of a bitch!

[screams]

- Nick!
-[thud]

Leave it alone. You didn't see
anything, don't know anything.

You didn't hear any of this.

Be smart.

Clean it up. It never happened.

What did you lose,
a contact lens?

- Nick!
- Shh. Don't say anything.

I'll tell you about it later.
Let's get out of here.

- Look sad.
- Okay.

My department had been alerted
to Mr. Jenkins'

deteriorating emotional state.

Of course, none of us ever
expected a tragedy like this.
