All language subtitles for Guarding Tess 1994

� [Humming]

BREAKFAST!

I'M GOING.

I THOUGHT I'D SAY GOOD-BYE.

GENTLEMEN, AGAIN, ALL
THE BEST. TAKE GOOD CARE.

GOOD LUCK AND GOOD-BYE.

IT'S BEEN FUN.

HERE YOU GO, SIR. AH.

THANK YOU.
YOU'RE WELCOME.

I'M HERE TO SEE THE DIRECTOR OF THE
SECRET SERVICE. [Man] OKAY, THANKS.

IS THERE ANY PLACE WHERE
I COULD PUT MY BAGS?

YEAH, TAKE THEM RIGHT
THROUGH THERE.

THANK YOU. OKAY.

CONGRATULATIONS, DOUG. YOU'VE DONE
A TERRIFIC JOB ON A TOUGH DETAIL.

THANK YOU, SIR. IT WASN'T
THAT TOUGH ACTUALLY.

SUMMERSVILLE, OHIO, IS NOT
EXACTLY THE CENTER OF THE UNIVERSE,

BUT IT'S A NICE, QUIET,
LITTLE PLACE.

GUARDING MRS. CARLISLE
DID GIVE ME THE TIME...

TO PICK UP MORE HOURS TOWARDS
MY MASTER'S. OH, GREAT.

NOW I AM HOPING FOR A LITTLE MORE ACTIVE
ASSIGNMENT, MAYBE BACK IN THE WHITE HOUSE.

UH-HUH. OR A CRIMINAL ASSIGNMENT
OUT OF NEW YORK OR L.A.

SURE. WHY DON'T WE SIT OVER HERE.

YES, SIR.

JOAN?

YES, SIR? CAN WE HAVE
SOME COFFEE, PLEASE?

CERTAINLY. JUST A MOMENT. THANKS.

HOW IS SHE THESE DAYS
? WHAT'S SHE LIKE?

WELL, THERE'S THE PUBLIC
PERSON WHO'S, YOU KNOW, ADORED.

THEN THERE'S THE PRIVATE PERSON WHO CAN, AT
TIMES, BE PRETTY DIFFICULT TO DEAL WITH...

IF YOU DON'T KNOW HOW
TO HANDLE THE SITUATION.

AND YOU DID. AS WELL
AS ANYBODY, I SUPPOSE.

I DON'T ENVY MY REPLACEMENT,
I'LL TELL YOU THAT.

ON THE OTHER HAND, I WAS IN HER HUSBAND'S
WHITE HOUSE, AND I SAW HER IN BETTER TIMES.

SHE HAS HER GOOD DAYS
AND HER BAD DAYS NOW.

I GUESS YOU COULD SAY SHE'S...

SEVERAL DIFFERENT PERSONALITIES
IN ONE, LIKE MANY PEOPLE.

ONE OF HER PERSONALITIES CALLED
THE WHITE HOUSE LAST NIGHT...

AND ASKED THE PRESIDENT IF HE COULD ARRANGE
FOR YOU TO STAY ON WITH HER FOR ANOTHER TOUR.

THE PRESIDENT?

I CAN'T GO BACK THERE.

I CAN'T DO THREE MORE YEARS THERE.

I CAN'T DO THREE MORE MINUTES THERE.

IT'S-- IT'S--
I MEAN, IT'S...

THE WORST ASSIGNMENT
THERE IS IN THE SERVICE.

THEN WE'VE GOT A PROBLEM...

BECAUSE THE PRESIDENT IS ASKING YOU TO RETURN
TO MRS. CARLISLE AS A PERSONAL FAVOR TO HIM.

WHAT IF I SAY NO?

I'LL CALL HIM AND TELL
HIM, UM, YOU SAID NO.

WHY DON'T YOU TAKE A MOMENT TO THINK
IT OVER. I'LL CHECK ON THE COFFEE.

[Door Closes]

[Newscaster] IN NEW JERSEY,
ICE KEPT THREE DOLPHINS TRAPPED...

IN AN INLAND WATERWAY WEDNESDAY, FRUSTRATING
RESCUERS EFFORTS TO FREE THE ANIMALS--

[Man] WHO'S GOT THE COLUMBUS PAPER?

JUST CHECKING MY HOROSCOPE.

FREDERICK, I'VE TOLD
YOU A THOUSAND TIMES,

SHE CAN TELL IF SOMEONE'S
READ IT BEFORE HER. SORRY.

[News Continues]

MORNING, DOUG. WHAT ARE
YOU DOING HERE? MORNING.

LONG STORY.

EVERYTHING OKAY IN
WASHINGTON, DOUG? YEAH.

JUST BACK TO PICK UP YOUR ACCOUTREMENT?

SPEAK ENGLISH, FRED.

JUST BACK TO PICK UP YOUR SHIT?

NO SMOKING, EARL.

WHY CAN'T I SMOKE? SHE
NEVER COMES DOWN HERE.

- DOESN'T MATTER. IT'S A RULE.
- [Sighs]

FRANKLY, DOUGLAS, I AM SHOCKED
TO SEE YOU BACK HERE. ARE YA?

[Frederick] I THOUGHT YOU'D
BE GUARDING JACKIE O. BY NOW,

STANDING OUTSIDE THE RUSSIAN TEA
ROOM FOR HOURS IN THE FREEZING SNOW...

WHEN SHE WAS INSIDE HAVING ONE OF THOSE
LITTLE CAKES AND CHATTING TO HER FRIENDS.

HERE, FREDERICK.

I'LL DO IT THIS
MORNING, FRED. THANK YOU.

GOOD MORNING.

[Knocking]

BREAKFAST!

[Woman] COME IN. [Mutters]

[Scissors Cutting]

[Clears Throat]

DOUGLAS, DARLING?

YES, MA'AM?

YOU SEEM TO HAVE DROPPED SOME
OF MY THINGS ON THE FLOOR.

WOULD YOU BE KIND ENOUGH TO
PICK THEM UP FOR ME? YES, MA'AM.

THAT'S A GOOD BOY.

DO I STILL HAVE ANY INFLUENCE IN THAT EVIL,
LITTLE TOWN OR HAVE THEY FORGOTTEN ME?

MA'AM, WITH ALL DUE RESPECT, WHY ME?

WHY? BECAUSE I LIKE YOU.

MY FEELINGS ARE HURT THAT ANYONE WOULD
BE THAT ANXIOUS TO GET AWAY FROM ME.

I CERTAINLY DON'T MEAN TO HURT
YOUR FEELINGS, MRS. CARLISLE,

BUT MY ASSIGNMENT HERE IS FINISHED
AND I'D LIKE TO GET BACK TO WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON IS A DEAD-END
TOWN, DOUGLAS, CAREER-WISE,

UNLESS YOU'RE THERE PURELY TO MAKE
MONEY, WHICH I'M SURE YOU WOULDN'T BE.

I'D LIKE TO GO BACK, MRS. CARLISLE.

I'M SORRY, BUT I NEED
YOU HERE. MRS. CARLISLE?

YES?

I'D JUST LIKE YOU TO KNOW THAT
I CAME BACK OF MY OWN FREE WILL.

AS AN S.A.I.C., I COULD HAVE REFUSED
THIS ASSIGNMENT, BUT I DIDN'T.

S.A.I.C.? WHAT IS THAT?

MA'AM, YOU KNOW VERY WELL WHAT THAT IS.

- NO, I DON'T.
- YES, YOU DO, MA'AM.

DON'T TELL ME WHAT I KNOW AND WHAT
I DON'T KNOW. THAT IS NOT YOUR PLACE.

WHAT IS A SAIC?

S.A.I.C. STANDS FOR
"SPECIAL AGENT IN CHARGE."

OH, I SEE, I SEE. A SPECIAL AGENT,
ARE WE? AND IN CHARGE, NO LESS.

MY, MY, MY, MY, MY.

YOU RARELY MEET SOMEONE WHO'S A
SECRET AGENT WHO'S ALSO IN CHARGE.

HMM? AND WHY IS HE IN CHARGE?

BECAUSE HE'S SO DOGGONE SPECIAL.

AND YOU DID NOT COME BACK
HERE OF YOUR OWN FREE WILL.

IF YOU HAD A FREE WILL,
YOU'D BE MILES FROM HERE.

I HAVE SOME VERY EXCITING NEWS FOR YOU.

I HAVE AN INOPERABLE BRAIN TUMOR.

I HAVE BOUGHT YOU AND YOUR
MEN A SCUD MISSILE LAUNCHER.

WE ARE GOING TO THE OPERA IN COLUMBUS.
WHICH OF THOSE DO YOU THINK IS TRUE?

WHEN?

I WOULD LIKE TO DRIVE TO
COLUMBUS A WEEK FROM FRIDAY.

YES, MA'AM. MAY I SAY, IT IS
GOOD TO SEE YOU GETTING OUT AGAIN.

IS IT? YES, MA'AM.

THANK YOU, DOUGLAS. THAT'S
VERY PATRONIZING OF YOU.

I SUPPOSE YOU COULDN'T
CARE LESS ABOUT OPERA.

NO, MA'AM. I COULDN'T. OF COURSE NOT.

YOU'RE A TYPICAL,
RED-BLOODED AMERICAN MALE.

YOU'D PROBABLY RATHER WATCH RERUNS OF MR.
ED ON TELEVISION, NOW WOULDN'T YOU, DOUG?

TELL ME...

IF YOU HAD TO CHOOSE
BETWEEN OPERA AND MR. ED?

I'D CHOOSE MR. ED...
IN A SECOND.

OH, YOU'RE SO HONEST.
YES, MA'AM. I TRY TO BE.

GOOD FOR YOU, AGENT DOUGIE.

NOW PUT MY ROSEBUD ON
THE TRAY AND GET OUT.

AS YOU CAN SEE, I'M EXTREMELY BUSY.

YES, MA'AM.

I EXPECT HIM ANY MINUTE. I'LL TELL
HIM AS SOON AS HE COMES IN. ALL RIGHT.

GOOD-BYE.

HI. SHE WANTS TO SEE YOU. HI.

OH, COME ON. I WAS JUST UP THERE!

SHE CALLED THE PRESIDENT TO DEMAND I PULL
ANOTHER TOUR. HOW DO YOU LIKE THAT SHIT?

WHY? [Doug] BECAUSE SHE LIKES ME.

[Laughs] OH, YOU DON'T
THINK THAT'S THE REASON?

I DON'T KNOW. WHO KNOWS WITH HER?

SHE DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING
ABOUT LIKING ME, DID SHE?

IT DOESN'T HAVE
ANYTHING TO DO WITH LIKE.

SHE DOESN'T WANT A
NEW GUY COMING IN HERE,

SHAKING THINGS UP, TRYING
TO GET THINGS RUNNING RIGHT.

SHE'S GOT ME BROKEN IN.
SHE'LL NEVER LET ME GO.

- DOUG.
- NOW MY MASTER CALLS AGAIN.

CHECK THIS OUT! [Peter Jennings
On TV] WE NOW GO TO HELEN GRACE.

[Grace] IN THE CITY OF AGUA DULCE,
WHEN AUTOMATIC WEAPON FIRE BROKE OUT...

SHORTLY AFTER 2:30 LOCAL TIME,
THE PRESIDENT WAS IMMEDIATELY...

HUSTLED FROM THE SCENE
AND SECRET SERVICE--

SEE THOSE SPECIAL TACTICS GUYS
? THEY'RE EVERYWHERE. YEAH, YEAH.

...APPLAUDED THE AMERICAN LEADER
REPEATEDLY. THE MEN WITH THE GUNS,

ARE THEY SECRET SERVICE AGENTS? [
Woman] DOUG, SHE SAYS IT'S IMPORTANT.

TELL HER I'M BUSY. I'LL
BE THERE IN 15 MINUTES.

HE'LL BE THERE IN 15 MINUTES.
[Line Disconnects Abruptly]

- MRS. CARLISLE?
- YOU SHOULD GO UP.

DOES SHE WANT CHOCOLATE?
SOME GODDAMN FRUIT DRINK?

ARE WE A BUNCH OF WAITERS
? WE WANT TO BE DOWN THERE!

[Alarm Blaring]

I GOT IT!

I'M COMING!

I CAN'T DO THREE MORE YEARS OF THIS.

[Alarm Continues]

[Gasps]

I TOLD YOU NEVER TO
BRING A GUN IN THIS ROOM.

NOW, GET IT OUT. YES, MA'AM.

HOW DARE YOU BRING A GUN IN HERE!

[Alarm Stops]

SORRY, MRS. CARLISLE.
THAT'S ALL RIGHT, JOSEPH.

THAT EMERGENCY ALARM
IS TO BE USED ONLY--

IT'S MINE AND I WILL USE
IT ANY TIME I SEE FIT.

I THINK IT BOTHERS
THE NEIGHBORS. SORRY.

- WHAT IS IT YOU WANT, MA'AM?
- I WANT TO PLAY GOLF.

- WHAT?
- GOLF. IT'S A GAME.

MY HUSBAND AND I
USED TO PLAY IT.

DO YOU REMEMBER THAT?
IT'S 38 DEGREES OUTSIDE.

THANK YOU, TOM. COULD YOU HAVE
THE CAR READY IN HALF AN HOUR?

YES, MA'AM. THANK YOU.

NOW, GO ON, GO ON. SHOO, SHOO.

GO ON!

KIMBERLY.

[Mrs. Carlisle Yelling] KIMBERLY!

WOULD YOU MIND NOT STANDING THERE?

NO, NOT THERE. GO OVER THERE
WHERE I CAN SEE WHERE YOU ARE.

DIDN'T YOU GUARD FORD OR AGNEW
OR THOSE PEOPLE? NO, MA'AM.

ALL THEY EVER DID WAS
PLAY GOLF. YES, MA'AM.

- WHICH WAS A REAL BLESSING FOR THE COUNTRY.
- YES, MA'AM.

NO, I WAS TOO YOUNG.

WHAT? I WAS TOO YOUNG
TO SERVE FORD OR AGNEW.

GET BACK IN THE CART! GET
IN THE CART! YES, MA'AM.

WHAT IS THIS ALL ABOUT?

SHE SITS UP IN HER ROOM FOR FIVE
YEARS, AND NOW WE'VE GOT GOLF.

AND OPERA. AND OPERA.

WHAT'S NEXT? SYNCHRONIZED SWIMMING.

[Agents Chuckling] WHY ARE YOU
MAKING NOISE? WE'RE TRYING TO PUTT.

SORRY, MA'AM. SORRY, MA'AM.

WHY DON'T YOU MAKE YOURSELVES USEFUL?

- ONE OF YOU COME AND HOLD THE PIN.
- YES, MA'AM.

PUTT!

WOULD YOU BE KIND ENOUGH TO GET
MY FIRST BALL, PLEASE, DOUG?

I'M A SECRET SERVICE AGENT,
MRS. CARLISLE, NOT A CADDIE.

YOU WANT THAT BALL, I SUGGEST
YOU GO GET IT YOURSELF.

RALPH? YO!

SINCE YOU'VE INSISTED
ON ME STAYING HERE,

I THINK YOU SHOULD KNOW I
INTEND TO DO MY JOB BY THE BOOK.

WHICH MEANS WE DON'T RUN ERRANDS,

WE DON'T MAKE SNACKS, AND WE
DON'T CHECK OUR GUNS AT THE DOOR.

NOW IF YOU DON'T LIKE ANY OF THIS,

I SUGGEST YOU CALL WASHINGTON
AND GET YOURSELF A NEW MAN.

I'D BE VERY CAREFUL
IF I WERE YOU, AGENT.

YOU'RE WAY OUT OF YOUR DEPTH.

LET'S SWITCH. I'VE GOT
TO GO UP TO THE CLUBHOUSE.

SURE THING, DOUG.

[Doug] I TOLD HER.

NO MORE CALLING US "GOFERS WITH GUNS."

NO MORE SNACKS IN THE
MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT.

NO MORE CHECKING OUR WEAPONS
OUTSIDE YOUR BEDROOM DOOR.

YOU SAID THAT? MM-HMM.

IN SO MANY WORDS.

WHAT I BASICALLY SAID WAS
FROM NOW ON WE GO BY THE BOOK.

AND SHE STOOD FOR THIS
? SHE DIDN'T SAY A THING.

OH, YEAH. SHE TELLS
ME TO GO FIND HER BALL.

I SAID I'M NOT A CADDIE,
I'M A SECRET SERVICE AGENT.

YOU WANT THAT BALL, YOU GO
FIND IT YOURSELF. COME ON.

ARE YOU CRAZY? NO.
LET ME TELL YOU WHY.

[Woman] DOUG, TELEPHONE.

HELLO. [Operator] MR. CHESNIC?

YES. PLEASE HOLD FOR THE PRESIDENT.

[President] HELLO? UH, UH, HELLO.

THAT YOU, DOUG? UH, YES, SIR!

HOW ARE YA? I'M, I'M FINE. AND YOU?

WELL, I GOT, I GOT THIS
CALL FROM TESS CARLISLE...

AND, UM, I KNOW THIS
SOUNDS A LITTLE CRAZY,

BUT DID YOU TEAR UP
SOME FLOWERS OF HERS?

DOUG, YOU THERE? UH-HUH. YES, SIR.

SOMETHING ABOUT A BUNCH OF ROSES.

WELL, UH, NO, NO, NO, NO, IT
WASN'T, IT WASN'T A BUNCH, SIR.

UH-HUH. WELL, HOW MANY OF
THEM WERE THERE? JUST ONE, SIR.

I SEE. AND, UH, AND
YOU TORE IT UP, DID YOU?

NO, SIR, I DIDN'T TEAR
IT UP. WHAT DID YOU DO?

I MERELY REMOVED THE
BUD. FROM HER FLOWER?

YES, SIR.

OKAY, LET'S GET PAST THAT FOR A SECOND.

AS YOU KNOW, I WAS HER HUSBAND'S
VICE PRESIDENT. YES, SIR.

I OWE A LOT TO THE CARLISLES. SHE
SECONDED MY NOMINATION. YES, SIR.

SO, WHY DON'T WE ALL TRY TO GET ALONG
BETTER THERE IN OHIO? YES, SIR. ABSOLUTELY.

I DON'T GET IT MYSELF. ONE DAY SHE CALLS
ME, SAYS SHE CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT YOU,

NEXT DAY SHE'S CALLING ALMOST IN TEARS.

MAYBE YOU TWO HAVE SOME KIND OF SICKO
THING GOING ON. NO, SIR! I CAN TELL YOU--

I'LL TELL YOU THIS, DOUG. ANY MORE PHONE
CALLS FROM HER, AND YOU'LL BE GUARDING MY DOG.

YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT
I'M SAYING? YES, SIR.

'CAUSE I PROBABLY GOT THE MOST
IMPORTANT JOB IN THE WORLD, YES, SIR.

AND I FEEL LIKE A GODDAMN IDIOT HAVING
TO CALL YOU ABOUT A GODDAMN FLOWER!

YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN, DOUG?
YES, SIR, I CERTAINLY DO.

SO, YOU GONNA HELP ME OUT ON THIS
ONE? YES, YOU CAN COUNT ON IT.

THANKS, DOUG, THAT'S
WHAT I WANTED TO HEAR.

YOU HAVE YOURSELF A NICE
EVENING, SON. YES, SIR.

'NIGHT. [Line Disconnects, Beeping]

[Recording] IF YOU NEED HELP,
HANG UP AND THEN DIAL YOUR OPERATOR.

� [Lip-Synching Opera]

�

� [Opera Continues]

HEY, MRS. CARLISLE, I GOT
YOUR LAUNDRY AND A WHOPPER.

WHO'S THIS OPERA BY AGAIN?

MOZART.

OH, THAT'S RIGHT.

I SAW A MOVIE ABOUT HIM.
THE GUY WAS A COMPLETE JERK.

AT THE END OF THE MOVIE, SOME GUY
COMES TO SEE HIM WEARING A PARTY MASK.

IT WAS JUST A MASK, RIGHT?
BUT IT UPSETS MOZART SO MUCH...

THAT HE DROPS OVER DEAD
JUST LIKE THAT.

NOW WHAT THE HELL KIND OF GUY
IS THAT? I DON'T KNOW, LEE.

HERE. DON'T SHOOT YOURSELF.
VERY FUNNY.

HAPPY HUNTING.

HMM.

WELL?

SORRY, MA'AM.

THIS WAY, MA'AM.

[Starts Engine]

- KILL THE ENGINE.
- [Stops Engine]

START THE ENGINE.

- EARL.
- YES, MA'AM?

- DO YOU LIKE YOUR JOB?
- YES, MA'AM, A LOT.

MRS. CARLISLE, THE PROTECTEE IS NEVER
ALLOWED TO SIT DIRECTLY BEHIND THE DRIVER.

THAT'S A REGULATION. NOBODY DOES
IT; NOT THE PRESIDENT, NOT ANYBODY.

THE SUN WILL BE ON THAT SIDE,
AND I DO NOT WANT THE SUN.

PERHAPS YOU COULD SIT ON THE PROPER
SIDE BUT SLIGHTLY THEN TO THE MIDDLE.

NOPE.

MA'AM, EXCUSE ME, BUT WE ARE NOT LEAVING
THIS HOUSE UNTIL YOU ARE SEATED PROPERLY...

WITH YOUR SEAT BELT FIRMLY FASTENED.

JESUS CHRIST, LET HER SIT
ON THE HOOD IF SHE WANTS TO!

- MOVE IT OUT, EARL.
- [Starts Engine]

- WE'RE ROLLING.
- [Sighs]

OH, THESE FAMILY OUTINGS
ARE ALWAYS SO STRESSFUL.

� [Classical Playing]

[Lip-Synching] � THROW
MY HEAD BACK AND � SHOUT

� COME ON NOW � SHOUT

� DON'T FORGET TO SAY YOU WILL �

� DON'T FORGET TO SAY YEAH,
YEAH, YEAH, YEAH, YEAH �

� SAY YOU WILL

� SAY IT RIGHT NOW, BABY � SAY YOU WILL

� COME ON, COME ON � SAY YOU WILL

� SAY THAT YOU � SAY YOU WILL

� [Singing Opera]

LOOK.

[Snoring]

[Screams]

[Gasps]

I HAVE NEVER BEEN SO
EMBARRASSED IN MY LIFE.

I WANT TO GO HOME. I DON'T
WANT TO GO TO THE HOTEL,

AND I WILL NEVER RETURN
TO COLUMBUS AGAIN.

YES, MA'AM. FOR WHAT IT'S
WORTH, I WAS JUST TRYING TO HELP.

YOUR HELP IS MOST PRECISELY WHAT I DO
NOT WANT. WHEN WILL YOU PEOPLE GET THAT?

[Applause] OH.

HELLO. OH...

BACK UP, PLEASE. NO AUTOGRAPHS
RIGHT NOW. SO GOOD TO SEE YOU.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU. OH, THANK YOU.

MRS. CARLISLE.

TESS, HI. WELCOME TO COLUMBUS.

[Crowd Talking]

I REALLY DO APPRECIATE THAT
YOU'RE HERE. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

WHAT IS THIS? I JUST
WANTED HER AUTOGRAPH.

WRITE ME AT THIS ADDRESS AND I'LL SEE
THAT YOU GET AN AUTOGRAPHED PICTURE.

OH, A PICTURE, HOW WONDERFUL. A PICTURE.

THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH.
VERY, VERY NICE AND WONDERFUL.

I HOPE YOU ENJOYED THE
OPERA AS MUCH AS I DID.

I'VE CHANGED MY MIND. WE'LL BE
STAYING IN COLUMBUS TONIGHT. YES, MA'AM.

[Woman] GIVE 'EM HELL, TESS!

[Tom] WHAT DO YOU CARE WHERE
SHE SITS IN THE DAMN CAR?

SHE'S SUPPOSED TO BE WHERE THE DRIVER
AND I CAN BOTH SEE HER. COME ON, TOMMY.

HELL, I KNOW THAT. THAT'S NOT WHAT
I'M ASKING. THIS DETAIL'S A CUPCAKE.

IT MAY BE THE MOST BORING DETAIL IN
THE SERVICE, BUT IT'S STILL A CUPCAKE.

SO WHY YOU GONNA RISK YOUR
CAREER ON CRAP LIKE THAT?

BECAUSE IT'S NOT CRAP.
IT'S MY JOB.

I'M EITHER GONNA DO IT RIGHT, TAKE PRIDE IN
IT, OR I'M GONNA FIND SOMETHING ELSE TO DO.

OKAY, YOU'RE RIGHT. I CAN'T ARGUE.
BUT, DOUG, I WOULDN'T PISS HER OFF.

A COUPLE MORE PHONE CALLS TO THE WHITE HOUSE
AND YOU'LL BE-- GUARDING THE PRESIDENT'S DOG.

BULLSHIT. YOU'LL BE GONE.

YOU TRY TO GET A JOB
OUT THERE NOW.

KNOW WHAT THEY WANT
IN PRIVATE SECURITY?

THEY WANT GUYS THAT CAN
BENCH PRESS 9,000 POUNDS.

THIS IS A GOOD DEAL.
YOU'VE LET IT GET PERSONAL.

IT'S NOT PERSONAL.

COURSE IT IS. SHE DOESN'T EVEN
KNOW THE REST OF US ARE ALIVE.

HOW IS SHE? OH, SHE'S FINE, BUT, UH...

[Clears Throat]

GET RID OF THOSE. OKAY.

OKAY, WHAT ABOUT ALI-TYSON?

ALI T.K.O. EIGHTH ROUND, IN HIS PRIME.

WHAT ABOUT MRS. CARLISLE AND NANCY
REAGAN? YEAH. IN THEIR PRIME?

MRS. CARLISLE WOULD KNOCK NANCY
OUT IN THE SIXTH OR SEVENTH ROUND.

WOULDN'T GO THE DISTANCE?
NO, DIFFERENT FIGHTERS.

NANCY DOESN'T HAVE THE BIG-TIME PUNCH.

SHE THROWS THESE CUTTING LEFT JABS
AND COMBINATIONS. ALWAYS IN YOUR FACE.

UNRELENTING. BA, BA, BAB.

MRS. CARLISLE-- SHE'S
A FLOATER, A DANCER.

TOTALLY UNPREDICTABLE. JUST WHEN YOU
THINK YOU GOT HER WHERE YOU WANT HER,

BAM, OUT OF NOWHERE COMES HER RIGHT
HAND AND NANCY'S ON QUEER STREET.

END OF FIGHT. I THINK
YOU'RE RIGHT ABOUT THAT.

I KNOW I'M RIGHT. I KNOW.
THAT'S WHY I ASKED YOU.

RALPH, GET ME A BABY
RUTH, WOULD YOU, PLEASE?

- YES, MA'AM.
- THANK YOU.

- EARL, GO.
- MRS. CARLISLE, I CAN'T.

WHO GOT YOU THIS JOB?
DID THEY, OR DID I?

- [Starts Engine]
- YES!

DOUG! DOUG! SHE TOOK OFF!

EARL? EARL?

I WANT YOU TO PULL OVER RIGHT
NOW. YOU HEAR ME, GODDAMN IT?

[Tires Squealing]

I'M SORRY, DOUG. IT'S NOT YOUR
FAULT. IT'S MY FAULT, NOT YOUR FAULT.

SHOULD HAVE SEEN IT
COMING. SHOULD HAVE SEEN IT.

UH-HUH. JUST HOLD ON A
MINUTE, AGENT CHESNIC.

I'M GONNA PUT YOU ON THE SPEAKER.

IS THERE SOMEONE ELSE IN THE ROOM?

OH, NO, NO.

I JUST WANT TO PRACTICE MY
PUTTING WHILE WE'RE TALKING.

WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU
? WOULD YOU PLEASE...

PUT OUT AN ALL-POINTS FOR
MRS. CARLISLE'S AUTOMOBILE?

IT'S A '92 LINCOLN,

OHIO PLATES,
KILO-HOTEL-OSCAR 3-6-2.

WHEN LAST SEEN, IT WAS HEADING
EAST ON THE CHESTER EXIT OF I-71.

JUST HOLD EVERYTHING.
HAVE I GOT THIS RIGHT?

HAVE YOU SECRET SERVICE BOYS GONE
AND LOST THE PRESIDENT'S WIFE AGAIN?

I DON'T BELIEVE THERE'S
ANY CAUSE FOR CONCERN HERE.

SHE'S WITH HER DRIVER.
SHE'S PERFECTLY SAFE,

BUT PROPER PROCEDURE REQUIRES
US TO... TO NOTIFY YOU.

OF COURSE, IT DOES. WE'LL GET
ON THIS RIGHT NOW. THANK YOU.

AGENT CHESNIC, UH...

MRS. CARLISLE IS PRETTY
SLIPPERY, ISN'T SHE?

[Officers Laughing] I
MEAN, FOR A SENIOR CITIZEN.

[Laughing Louder]

HELLO?

[Officers Laughing]

[Radio Transmission,
Officers Chuckling]

DOUG? DOUG?

LET'S HAVE A LITTLE
STROLL AROUND THE YARD...

BEFORE WE GO IN THERE
AND TALK TO HIM. OKAY?

DOUG?

DOUG?

I WANT YOU TO GO IN THERE AND
TELL EARL TO MEET ME IN THE OFFICE.

OKAY, LEE?

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU.

HEY, HEY, EVERYBODY'S MAD AT ME, RIGHT?

WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO?
I'M JUST THE DRIVER, YOU KNOW?

HEY, HEY, HEY, HEY! [Doug Yelling]

HEY, JUST A SECOND! YOU'RE
THROUGH, YOU KNOW THAT?

NO, I DON'T KNOW THAT.
YOU DON'T KNOW THAT?

NO, I DON'T KNOW THAT. WHY DON'T
YOU KNOW THAT, YOU LITTLE TICK?

BECAUSE SHE ASSURED ME
THAT I WOULDN'T BE FIRED!

IN FACT, I WOULD HAVE BEEN FIRED IF I HADN'T,
IF I HADN'T DONE IT. LOOK, LOOK, LOOK!

YOU GUYS COME AND GO, BUT I LIVE HERE,

AND I KEEP MY JOB BECAUSE OF HER.

YOU THINK I DON'T TRY TO TALK HER OUT OF
THESE CRAZY THINGS BUT I GOT NO CHOICE!

YOU'RE FIRED, EARL. TRUST ME.

[Knocking]

COME IN.

DID YOU ENJOY YOURSELF TODAY?

DON'T TAKE THAT TONE
WITH ME, DOUGLAS.

LOOK, THIS IS JUST STUPID, OKAY?

WHICH PART?

THE PART WHERE I HAVE TO
RUN AWAY LIKE A FUGITIVE...

IN ORDER TO HAVE ONE
HOUR'S WORTH OF PRIVACY,

OR THE PART WHERE I AM
SPOKEN TO LIKE A CHILD?

I FIRED EARL. THIS HAS
HAPPENED TWICE NOW. NO.

HE IS A DRIVER IN THE
EMPLOY OF THE SECRET SERVICE.

I CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT THE COOK
OR THE NURSE. NO, THEY WORK FOR YOU.

BUT THIS GUY WORKS
FOR US, AND HE'S GONE!

HE WORKS FOR YOU BECAUSE I TOLD YOU PEOPLE TO
HIRE HIM. HE'S MY CHAUFFEUR, AND HE'S STAYING!

[Laughs]

YOU'VE GOT TO LET ME LEAVE THIS DETAIL,
MRS. CARLISLE. I CAN'T DO MY JOB EFFECTIVELY.

WHATEVER YOU LIKE. YOU
CAN GO ANYTIME YOU PLEASE.

- THANK YOU.
- YOU'RE WELCOME.

- GOOD-BYE, MRS.
CARLISLE. - GOOD-BYE.

IF I PROMISE NEVER TO
RUN AWAY AGAIN,

WILL THAT DO?

MA'AM, I AM TRULY
SORRY, BUT I--

FOR GOD'S SAKE, DOUG, I
ONLY WENT FOR A LITTLE DRIVE.

IT WAS A CRAZY THING TO DO.

YES, CRAZY, EXACTLY. YOU
SHOULD TRY IT SOMETIME, DOUGLAS.

YOU SHOULD TRY GOING CRAZY YOURSELF.

YOU SHOULD GET A DATE.
YOU SHOULD HAVE A MARTINI.

YOU SHOULD DRIVE WITH THE TOP DOWN.

YOU SHOULD, BETTER YET, GIVE
A TIRED, OLD WIDOW A BREAK.

I AM VERY SORRY, MRS.
CARLISLE, BUT THE REGULATIONS--

OH, WELL, FINE. GO.

WHATEVER YOU WANT TO DO. JUST LEAVE.

ONE LESS GUNMAN LOUNGING AROUND MY
HOUSE. TAKE THE WHOLE BUNCH WITH YOU.

WE ARE NOT GUNMEN, MRS. CARLISLE. AND
SINCE I AM LEAVING FOR SURE THIS TIME,

I'D LIKE TO TAKE THIS
OPPORTUNITY TO REMIND YOU...

THAT YOU CAN REFUSE SECRET SERVICE
PROTECTION ANYTIME YOU WANT.

BUT I BELIEVE YOU ALREADY KNOW THAT.

[Mrs. Carlisle]
THAT'S BRILLIANT, DOUG.

YOU THINK THEY'D REALLY
LET ME GET AWAY WITH THAT?

I DON'T KNOW WHY NOT. OTHER PEOPLE
HAVE DONE IT. BUT I THINK YOU LIKE IT.

I THINK YOU LIKE HAVING SEVEN
MEN AND NO WOMEN AGENTS, I NOTICE,

AT YOUR BECK AND CALL
DAY AND NIGHT!

GET A DATE. HOW DARE YOU.

GOOD-BYE, MRS. CARLISLE. GET OUT!

GET OUT OF MY HOUSE THIS INSTANT!

AND STAY OUT!

[Door Opens, Closes]

[Phone Beeping]

YEAH? [Operator] THIS
IS AIR FORCE ONE CALLING.

STAND BY FOR THE PRESIDENT.

[President] DOUG? HOW ARE
YA? YES, SIR? I'M FINE, SIR.

HOW ARE YOU? I'M NOT TOO
GOOD. I'M ON MY WAY TO LONDON.

I SHOULD BE WORKING ON A
SPEECH FOR THE COMMON MARKET.

INSTEAD, I'M HAVING A GODDAMN TESS
CARLISLE PROBLEM! WHAT'S THAT ABOUT, DOUG?

[Stammering] DO YOU KNOW SHE HAS
REFUSED SECRET SERVICE PROTECTION?

WHERE'D THE HELL DID SHE
GET AN IDEA LIKE THAT?

[Stammering] THIS WOMAN
IS A NATIONAL TREASURE.

MAYBE YOU AND I KNOW WHAT A PAIN IN
THE BUTT SHE IS, BUT WE DON'T COUNT.

IT'S WHAT THE GODDAMN VOTERS
THINK! THAT'S WHAT COUNTS!

AND THEY WANT THIS WOMAN LOOKED
AFTER. YOU UNDERSTAND? YES, SIR.

WHAT IF SOME LUNATIC BREAKS INTO HER
HOUSE AND CUTS HER GODDAMN THROAT?

HOW MUCH DOO-DOO DO YOU THINK I'D
CATCH IF THAT HAPPENED ON MY WATCH?

YES, SIR. LET ME MAKE IT REAL CLEAR.

GET OVER TO HER HOUSE
AND STRAIGHTEN THIS OUT.

I'M COUNTING ON YOU
AND SO IS THE COUNTRY.

YOU HEAR ME? YES, SIR.
I'LL GET ON IT RIGHT AWAY.

OKAY, THAT'S WHAT I WANTED
TO HEAR. THANKS A LOT, BUDDY.

HEY, THE NEXT TIME YOU'RE IN TOWN,
COME OVER TO THE WHITE HOUSE FOR DINNER.

YES, SIR. I'D BE HONORED.
I'LL BE THERE. THANK YOU.

ALL RIGHT. HAVE A NICE
DAY, PAL. YES, SIR, I WILL.

BYE-BYE. [Line Disconnects]

SHE TOLD US TO LEAVE AND
TAKE THE FLAG WITH US.

I HAD TO LOAD THE WEAPONS
IN THE STATION WAGON.

[Intercom Beeps] JIMMY?

HELLO. THAT YOU, DOUG?

YEAH, I WANT YOU TO OPEN
THE GATE. NO WAY, DOUG.

COME ON, JIMMY, LET ME IN THERE.

I'M ACTING ON THE AUTHORITY OF
THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.

[Jimmy] SO WHAT, DOUG?
WE GOT MRS. CARLISLE IN HERE.

DOUG, THIS IS FREDERICK. I
WANT YOU TO LISTEN CLOSELY.

JIMMY AND I ARE HOLDING
MRS. CARLISLE HOSTAGE,

AND HERE IS WHAT WE WANT.

WE WANT $100 IN UNMARKED BILLS,

AND A HELICOPTER, MATCHING
SPORTS COATS,

AND A VIDEOCASSETTE OF THE MOVIE
GIGI. ARE YOU LISTENING TO ME, DOUG?

HELLO, EARL. [Frederick]
DOUG? CAN YOU HEAR ME, DOUG?

EARL, DO ME A FAVOR. CAN YOU TALK TO
MRS. CARLISLE? YOU OWE ME AN APOLOGY.

YEAH, PROBABLY. CAN YOU TALK TO HER?

SHE ISN'T SEEING ANYONE. OKAY.
TRY TO GET HER TO LET ME IN.

IF SHE WANTS TO GO OUT, GO SHOPPING,
ANYTHING, PLEASE LET ME KNOW.

OKAY. THANK YOU.

OKAY, BARBARA, I GUESS
YOU MIGHT AS WELL GO HOME.

YOU GUYS GO HOME TOO, GET SOME SLEEP.

ALL RIGHT, THE THREE OF US
WILL TAKE PERIMETER POSITIONS.

LEE, YOU TAKE MAPLE. RALPH, GO
AROUND BACK. WE'LL TAKE OUR CARS.

I'LL SIT OUT FRONT.
LET'S LOAD THIS STUFF UP.

THIS IS NUTS. YOU GOT A BETTER IDEA?

THE GATE'S OPENING. DO YOU READ ME?

[Lee] YEAH, WE GOT
YOU. [Ralph] COPY THAT.

OKAY, GUYS, WE'RE ROLLING. SHE'S
IN THE TOWN CAR HEADING WEST.

[Engine Starts]

EARL, PULL OVER.

-WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
-MRS. CARLISLE, WE NEED TO TALK.

I TOOK YOUR ADVICE.
I DID WHAT YOU WANTED.

NOW LEAVE ME ALONE. DRIVE, EARL.

[Mrs. Carlisle] STAY WITH THE
CAR, PLEASE. [Earl] YES, MA'AM.

MRS. CARLISLE, I WAS JUST ON
THE PHONE TO THE PRESIDENT.

REALLY? YES, MA'AM,

AND HE SAID THAT YOU
SHOULD-- GET AWAY FROM ME.

YES, MA'AM.

[Machine Beeping]

[Knocking]

[Mrs. Carlisle] YES?

THANK YOU. BARRY.

[Thunder Rumbling]

[Answering Machine] DOUG, THIS
IS RALPH. I'M GOING OFF DUTY NOW.

SHE HASN'T BEEN OUT
OF THE HOUSE ALL DAY.

FREDERICK SAID THAT MRS. CARLISLE'S
SON IS FLYING IN TOMORROW.

THAT'S ABOUT IT FROM HERE. LATER.

[Machine Beeps]

BARRY! OH, HELLO, MY DARLING!

HI, MAMA! OH, GOODNESS ME!

OH, YOU LOOK SO WONDERFUL.
I MISSED YOU.

YOU BRING IN HIS LUGGAGE.
HE'S OKAY.

HE'LL GET THE LUGGAGE. COME, COME,
COME, COME. TELL ME ALL ABOUT YOUR LIFE.

THIS THING IS THE BEST PROJECT THAT
I'VE SEEN IN YEARS, OF ITS NATURE.

HERE.

WHAT WE'RE TALKING
ABOUT IS 125 DETACHED...

AND SEMI-DETACHED RETIREMENT VILLAS...

STARTING FROM A $125,000
VENICE STUDIO LAYOUT,

GOING ALL THE WAY UP TO THE TUSCANY
FOUR-BEDROOM PLAN, WHICH STARTS AT 799.

AND AT LEAST HALF OF THE VILLAS...

HAVE A VIEW OF THE NINE-HOLE GOLF
COURSE, DESIGNED BY TAYLOR FRYE.

THE WHOLE PROJECT'S PRIMO, MOM.

I MEAN, YOU KNOW, IT'S
FIRST CLASS THE WHOLE WAY.

THE ONLY PROBLEM, AND I DON'T
REALLY THINK OF IT AS A PROBLEM,

I THINK OF IT MORE LIKE AN
OPPORTUNITY, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?

BUT SOME OF THE MANAGEMENT
AT TOPLAND PROPERTIES...

GOT BURNED IN THE S & L MESS THAT
WENT DOWN A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO.

SO WHAT WE'RE LOOKING TO DO NOW IS TO FIND A
WAY OF SHOWING PEOPLE THAT WE ARE ROCK SOLID.

ONE OF THE WAYS OF DOING THAT IS TO GET
PEOPLE OF YOUR STATURE TO ENDORSE THE PROJECT.

UH...

ALL WE WOULD NEED WOULD BE A LETTER,

JUST SOMETHING TO USE
JUST IN THE BROCHURE,

SAYING THAT YOU THINK THE PROJECT'S
A GOOD ONE FOR OLDER PEOPLE...

LOOKING FOR A SUN AND
RECREATION-TYPE PLACE.

ONLY DOWNSIDE OF THE WHOLE THING IS THE
BANK'S BEING SO TIGHTFISTED IN PHOENIX...

'CAUSE THEY MADE ALL THOSE STUPID LOANS.

WE HAVE GOT TO SHOW PEOPLE
THAT THEY CAN TRUST...

THE HACIENDA PALMS
CONCEPT DOWN THE LINE.

NO.

WHAT?

I SAID NO.

[Thunder Rumbling]

SHIT!

� JOY TO THE WORLD THE LORD IS COME �

� LET EARTH RECEIVE HER KING

� LET EVERY HEART PREPARE HIM ROOM �

� AND HEAV'N AND NATURE SING
AND HEAV'N AND NATURE SING �

� AND HEAV'N AND
HEAV'N AND-- �

[Crowd Cheering]

[Newscaster #1] WHAT WE'RE WATCHING
NOW IS EXACTLY THE KIND OF MANDATE...

PRESIDENT CARLISLE WANTED
FROM THIS CONVENTION.

THIS IS, FOR ALL INTENTS AND PURPOSES,
A CORONATION RATHER THAN A NOMINATION.

JIM CARLISLE'S GOING TO GET ANYTHING AND
EVERYTHING HE WANTS FROM THE DELEGATES...

WHO SEEM READY TO
FOLLOW HIM INTO THE--

[Newscaster #2] ...THEIR STAY AT THEIR
HOME IN SUMMERSVILLE. THE TWO MET...

AT NEARBY DENISON COLLEGE AND
FELL IN LOVE AS UNDERGRADUATES.

INTERESTINGLY ENOUGH, TESS
CARLISLE WAS THE CLASS PRESIDENT...

AND JIM CARLISLE WAS THE LAZY,
LACROSSE-PLAYING STUDENT WITH THE "C" AVERAGE.

LATER IN THE ROSE GARDEN, THE PRESIDENT WAS
ABLE TO PUT ASIDE HIS CONGRESSIONAL WOES...

BY WELCOMING THESE AWARD-WINNING
GIRL SCOUTS TO THE WHITE HOUSE.

THESE YOUNG
LADIES COME FROM--

[Newscaster #3] SPECIAL BULLETIN. THE
PRESIDENT SUFFERED A MASSIVE HEART ATTACK.

[Newscaster #4] WE ARE NOW LOOKING
AT THE JOINT CHIEFS OF STAFF...

AND, OF COURSE, IN THE FRONT ROW,

THERE'S THE PRESIDENT'S
DAUGHTER THERESA, HER HUSBAND.

THEY HAVE TWO CHILDREN
AND LIVE IN NEW YORK CITY.

AND ON THE OTHER SIDE OF MRS.
CARLISLE, THE PRESIDENT'S SON, BARRY,

NOW A VERY SUCCESSFUL BUSINESSMAN
IN THE STATE OF ARIZONA.

VERY SAD, SAD DAY.

VERY SAD, SAD DAY.

[Turns TV Off]

[Knocking] OH, GOD! DAMN! OW!

YOU SCARED ME TO DEATH!
YOU SNEAKED UP ON ME!

- I DID NO SUCH THING!
- YES, YOU DID!

I DID NOT! WHERE'D YOU COME FROM?

I CAME FROM THAT GATE ON THE SIDE,
AND I INTEND TO GO BACK THE SAME WAY!

MRS. CARLISLE, WAIT, PLEASE.

MRS. CARLISLE... LOOK, I WAS WRONG.

ABOUT A LOT OF THINGS.
YES, ABOUT A LOT OF THINGS.

BUT I WAS REALLY WRONG ABOUT
YOU REFUSING PROTECTION.

NO, THAT'S THE ONE THING
YOU WERE RIGHT ABOUT.

DO YOU SUPPOSE THE AVERAGE TAXPAYER HAS
ANY IDEA HOW MUCH MONEY IS BEING SPENT...

TO GUARD OLD POLITICAL HAS-BEENS
AND THEIR WIVES? NO, MA'AM, I DON'T.

MY GOD, IT'S AN OUTRAGE.

THE CARS AND THE MANPOWER. IT
JUST MAKES ME SICK. YES. YES.

LISTEN, MRS. CARLISLE, JUST LIKE
WASHINGTON TO SPEND MONEY LIKE THAT.

JUST LIKE WASHINGTON! CAN WE
PLEASE JUST TALK FOR ONE SECOND?

ABOUT WHAT, DOUGLAS? ABOUT
THE DETAIL COMING BACK IN.

NO, NO. YOU CAME OUT
HERE TO ASK ME SOMETHING.

WHAT WAS THAT ABOUT?

I WAS WONDERING IF YOU WOULD
LIKE TO HAVE A CUP OF COFFEE.

OH.

COFFEE KEEPS ME AWAKE, DOUG.
EVEN DECAF.

I'D LIKE TO HAVE A DRINK.

I-I TAKE A DRINK
OCCASIONALLY, NOT OFTEN.

- DID YOU KNOW THAT?
- NO, MA'AM.

WELL, I DO.

IF I LOCATED A BOTTLE, WOULD
YOU JOIN ME IN A HIGHBALL?

YES, MA'AM.

OH, YOU'RE SUCH A WILD
AND CRAZY THING.

WELL, MY DAUGHTER AND I BARELY SPEAK.

UNFORTUNATELY, I DON'T HAVE A
MUCH-IMPROVED RELATIONSHIP WITH MY SON.

I DON'T BLAME THEM. THE
CHILDREN GOT SCREWED.

WE GOT THE GOVERNOR'S
MANSION, AND THE SENATE,

THE WHITE HOUSE.

AND THEY GOT THIS VERY
PECULIAR CHILDHOOD.

I SAY "WE."

JIM AND I WERE TRULY PARTNERS.

YOU MUST HAVE KNOWN
IN THE WHITE HOUSE...

HOW MUCH HE REALLY
DEPENDED ON ME, DIDN'T YOU?

YES, MA'AM. THAT WAS
PRETTY COMMON KNOWLEDGE.

YOU MUST HAVE KNOWN ABOUT MY
HUSBAND'S OCCASIONAL INDISCRETIONS.

DIDN'T THINK I KNEW
ABOUT IT, DID YA?

WELL, DID YOU?

NOBODY THOUGHT I KNEW
ABOUT IT, DID THEY?

WELL... LET'S JUST KEEP
THAT OUR LITTLE SECRET.

YES, MA'AM. YOU CAN COUNT ON ME.

I KNOW THAT.

DOUGLAS, WE'RE GETTING OUT OF HERE.

I'VE TALKED ABOUT MYSELF
ENOUGH FOR ONE NIGHT.

LET'S TALK ABOUT YOU. ME?

HMM.

OH, WELL, THERE'S NOTHING
MUCH TO SAY, MA'AM.

COME ON, DOUGLAS, OF COURSE THERE IS.

FOR INSTANCE, WHAT'S IT LIKE GUARDING
THAT CRAZY, OLD BITCH, TESS CARLISLE?

MRS. CARLISLE, PLEASE. IT MUST GET
PRETTY SCREWY OVER THERE, RIGHT?

WOMAN LIVES LIKE A HERMIT, LIKES
TO PLAY GOLF IN A SNOWSTORM.

I, UH... JUST THE RUDIMENTARY
FACTS. FAMILY. START THERE.

FAMILY?

MY FATHER IS A RETIRED COP.

MY MOTHER WAS A MILLINERY BUYER
FOR A SMALL DEPARTMENT STORE.

MARRIED, ONCE, FOR SEVEN MONTHS.

COME ON, DOUGLAS. YOU
LOOKED INTO MY RECORDS.

MY HUSBAND TOLD ME. I DO NOT
LOOK INTO PEOPLE'S RECORDS.

WELL, WAS IT PAINFUL,
OR A FLING?

EVERYBODY SEEMED TO KNOW WHAT
SHE WAS REALLY LIKE EXCEPT ME.

HMM. I'M SORRY.

I JUST DON'T LIKE PEOPLE
KNOWING ABOUT IT...

BECAUSE IT'S EMBARRASSING TO ME...

THAT I WAS MARRIED
FOR SUCH A SHORT TIME.

YOU CAN COUNT ON ME, SECRET
AGENT DOUGLAS CHESNIC.

SPECIAL SECRET AGENT IN
CHARGE DOUGLAS CHESNIC.

CONGRATULATIONS, SPECIAL
AGENT DOUGLAS.

YOU'VE BEEN A VERY, VERY NAUGHTY
BOY, BUT NOW ALL IS FORGIVEN.

HOW DID YOU DO IT? HOW DID
YOU TALK YOUR WAY BACK IN HERE?

EARL, THE SIMPLE
ANSWER IS, SHE LIKES ME.

JIMMY, HAM AND EGGS,
I THINK. YES, MA'AM.

GOOD MORNING, GENTLEMEN. [Men
] GOOD MORNING, MRS. CARLISLE.

DOUGLAS, THE PRESIDENT
IS COMING TO SUMMERSVILLE.

WE MUST PREPARE FOR THAT.

WILL YOU HAVE THE CARS AND THE
MACHINE GUNS READY IN ABOUT AN HOUR?

YES, MA'AM. GOOD. THANK YOU.

FREDERICK, PERHAPS SOME SIT-UPS.

WELL, I THINK IT'S A
REAL FEATHER IN OUR CAP...

TO HAVE THE PRESIDENT COMING TO
THE DEDICATION OF THE FINAL WING.

DO YOU? YES, MA'AM.

OH, WELL, I THINK IT'S
A TEMPEST IN A TEAPOT,

BUT IF THE PRESIDENT DOES INSIST
ON COMING, WHAT CAN I DO...

BUT TRY TO BE GRACIOUS UNTIL
THE WHOLE AFFAIR IS OVER WITH.

WHERE DO YOU PLAN TO STAGE
THIS THING, MR. PORTER?

I THOUGHT OUTSIDE AT YOUR HUSBAND'S
SEPULCHER WE'D PUT UP A TENT.

THIS IS NO GREAT CONCERN OF MINE,

AND I'M DELIGHTED TO LEAVE
THESE MATTERS UP TO YOU,

BUT I'D HAVE THE PRESENTATION
IN THE READING ROOM...

WITH THE PORTRAIT OF MY
HUSBAND AS A BACKDROP.

THEN I'D HAVE REFRESHMENTS
SERVED IN THE LIBRARY...

WITH A BAR SET UP IN
THE ADJOINING PARLOR.

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THAT?

WELL... I THINK THAT
WOULD BE NICE TOO.

[Mrs. Carlisle]
THANK YOU SO MUCH AGAIN.

I SUPPOSE YOU'RE ALL EXCITED...

ABOUT THE PRESIDENT VISITING
US POOR, LITTLE, COUNTRY MICE.

YES, MA'AM. I SEE THIS
AS A CHANCE...

TO GET MY PEOPLE ON T
HEIR TOES AGAIN.

THINKING SHARP.

SO YOU THINK THEY'RE DULL TOO?

AH, FREDERICK, TELL
ME, WHICH OF THESE...

EXEMPLIFIES ELEGANT DISDAIN
YET SINCERE CONCERN?

THAT ONE.

YOU'RE GOOD, YOU KNOW
THAT? YOU ARE VERY GOOD.

[Doug] WE'LL HAVE SIX OF THEIR
GUYS INSIDE, TEN ON THE GROUNDS,

BUT WE'RE IN CHARGE
OF THE PHYSICAL PLANT.

YEAH. ALL RIGHT. MM-HMM.

THOSE GUYS ARE TAKING
THEIR ORDERS FROM US.

DOES SHE WANT TO BE KNOWN TODAY?

DON'T KNOW HER. DON'T
KNOW HER. DON'T KNOW HER.

IT'S GOT NO PRICE AT ALL.
YES, MA'AM.

DOUG, THIS IS BOBBY IN CANNED
GOODS. ARE YOU NEAR THE MANAGER?

I NEED A PRICE CHECK ON LE SUEUR
BABY PEAS. REPEAT, LE SUEUR BABY PEAS.

LE SUEUR BABY PEAS?

THEY'RE ON SPECIAL TODAY.
TWO FOR 59.

THEY'RE ON SPECIAL TODAY.
TWO FOR 59.

COPY THAT. IT'S TWO FOR 59.

BUT I ONLY WANT ONE. ROGER THAT,
DOUG, BUT SHE ONLY WANTS ONE.

HOW MUCH FOR JUST ONE?

THE SAME. IT'S A
TWO-FOR-ONE THING.

BOBBY, IT'S A TWO-FOR-ONE
THING, SO I SUGGEST YOU GET BOTH.

COPY THAT, DOUG, BUT I BELIEVE
WE'VE LOST INTEREST IN PEAS.

REPEAT, LOST INTEREST IN
PEAS. CANNED GOODS OUT.

[Sniffing]

SOMEONE'S SMOKING IN HERE. MA'AM?

SOMEONE IS SMOKING IN
A GROCERY STORE!

[Coughing]

ARE YOU GOING TO DEAL
WITH THIS? YES, MA'AM.

[Chuckling]

OKAY, I WANT ONE OF THOSE TEMPORARY
RINSES, NOT BLUE HAIR. YES, MA'AM.

IF IT'S BLUE, I'LL JUST
CHOP IT ALL OFF. YES, MA'AM.

OKAY, LET'S DO IT.

I SUPPOSE YOU BETTER
GIVE IT TO HER.

YOU'RE HER SECRETARY.

I LOVE THIS COLOR. [Knocking]

COME IN. IT'S JUST
GREAT. MRS. CARLISLE?

DOUGLAS. HELLO. COME
ON. WE'RE BACK HERE.

MRS. CARLISLE. YES, COME IN.
COME IN.

[Footsteps] WHAT
DO YOU THINK OF THIS?

WELL, I THINK YOU LOOK BEAUTIFUL.

OH. THANK YOU.

I'VE GOT A FAX HERE
FROM WASHINGTON. UH-HUH.

IT'S CONFIDENTIAL.

WOULD YOU EXCUSE US FOR
JUST A MOMENT? YES, MA'AM.

THE PRESIDENT'S NOT COMING.
PRESSING MATTERS OF STATE.

HMM.

WELL, WE CAN RELAX THEN.

YES, MA'AM.

WILL HE BE SENDING SOMEONE
IN HIS PLACE? YES, MA'AM.

SECRETARY OF COMMERCE,
YVONNE BOYER. EXCELLENT.

THAT'LL MAKE YOUR JOB A LOT EASIER.

YES, MA'AM.

HMM.

WOULD YOU SEND THE HAIRDRESSER BACK
IN, SO SHE CAN COLLECT HER THINGS?

YES, MA'AM.

[Sighs]

THE THING THAT MY HUSBAND WOULD
BE PARTICULARLY PROUD OF...

IS THAT THIS CENTER IS A PLACE
OF LEARNING AND CONTEMPLATION.

HE WOULD HAVE LIKED
THAT VERY, VERY MUCH.

WHAT I AM ESPECIALLY
PROUD OF IS THAT WE TOOK...

A FINE, WONDERFUL
OLD BUILDING...

AND WE MADE IT USEFUL AGAIN.

THAT APPEALS TO ME.

PERHAPS BECAUSE I AM GETTING OLD MYSELF.

[Crowd Laughs] WELL, IN CLOSING,

I WOULD LIKE TO THANK YVONNE
KIKI HERNANDEZ-BOYER...

FOR TAKING TIME OUT OF HER NONSTOP,
HECTIC SCHEDULE TO BE HERE WITH US TODAY.

THANK YOU SO MUCH,
KIKI, FOR COMING.

YOU HONOR US ALL WITH YOUR
GRACIOUS, GRACIOUS COMPANY.

[Crowd Applauding]

GOOD MORNING. MORNING.

YEAH. COME IN.

YES, MA'AM. I'D LIKE TO GO ON A
PICNIC TOMORROW DOWN BY THE LAKE.

YES, MA'AM. THEY SAY
IT MIGHT SNOW TOMORROW.

[Thunder Rumbling] WELL, WE CAN'T
JUST WAIT ON SUMMER, NOW, CAN WE?

NO, I GUESS NOT.

I'D VERY MUCH APPRECIATE IT IF I COULD
GO WITH JUST YOU AND NOT EVERYONE ELSE.

YES, MA'AM.

[Sighs] THANK YOU.

IS THIS BETTER
THAN MR. ED?

[Clicks Off TV]

[Door Opens, Closes]

[Birds Squawking]

[Thunder Rumbling]

MRS. CARLISLE, I THINK
IT'S GETTING COLDER.

WOULD YOU LEAVE ME ALONE, PLEASE?

YES, MA'AM.

MRS. CARLISLE?

MA'AM?

I'LL GET THE CHAIR.

[Engine Starts]

HEY!

[Groans]

STOP! HEY, EARL, STOP!
DAMN!

[Grunts]

[Phone Ringing]

- OFFICE.
- ARE THEY BACK YET?

DOUG? YEAH. DOUG. ARE THEY THERE?

WHO? MRS. CARLISLE? YES.

NO, THEY'RE NOT HERE.
AREN'T THEY WITH YOU?

NO. CALL EVERYBODY IN.
COME GET ME.

[Horn Honking, Car Approaching]

DID THEY GET BACK YET? NOPE.

WHEN DID THEY TAKE OFF?

ABOUT 2� HOURS AGO. JESUS.

[Tires Screeching]

WHO'S THIS? TOM, THEY THERE?

OKAY, CALL SHERIFF JANSON
AND THE HIGHWAY PATROL.

TELL THEM THEY'RE JUST
OUT JOYRIDING AGAIN.

IT'S NOT A PROBLEM, BUT INFORM THEM THAT
THERE'S NO SECURITY WITH MRS. CARLISLE.

OKAY, THANKS.
[Hangs Up] WASHINGTON?

NO! NO, NOT YET. WE'LL
GIVE THEM ANOTHER HOUR.

OKAY. GOD DAMN HER FOR THIS.

OKAY, BARBARA...

LET'S CALL WASHINGTON.

THIS IS THE WORST MOMENT OF MY LIFE.

[Indistinct Tower Transmissions]

IF SHE WAS TAKEN, THE
PEOPLE WHO DID IT...

MUST HAVE BEEN SETTING THIS
UP FOR MONTHS. YES, SIR.

DID YOU NOTICE ANYTHING
SUSPICIOUS? NO, SIR.

NOTHING AT ALL?

NO, SIR.

I OUGHT TO CALL THE PRESIDENT...

WHEN WE GET TO THE CARLISLE PLACE.

YES, SIR.

IT'LL BE ALMOST MIDNIGHT
BY THEN, MR. HARRISON.

THAT'S NO PROBLEM. HE'S UP.

HELLO, DOUG. HI.

THANKS FOR COMING IN. SURE.

EXCUSE ME.

[Indistinct Chatter,
Electronic Dialing]

WELL, ACCORDING TO THIS,
ALL OF THE LOCAL ROADS--

I WOULD APPRECIATE IT IF YOU
WOULD PUT SOMETHING UNDER THERE...

SO THAT WE DON'T SCRATCH THE TABLE.

DOUG, WHY DON'T YOU
COME IN HERE WITH ME.

[Man] YES, SIR.

UH-HUH. THAT'S CORRECT.

DOUG, THIS IS CHARLES IVY, C.I.A.

DOUG, HERE, IS AGENT IN
CHARGE FOR MRS. CARLISLE.

[Harrison] MR. PRESIDENT, I'VE
GOT AGENT DOUG CHESNIC WITH ME.

UH-HUH. YEAH.

DOES HE WANT TO SPEAK WITH ME?

NO.

SHE HAS A FULL-TIME
NURSE. WHAT'S THAT FOR?

UH, SHE'S HAD SOME DIZZINESS
THE LAST COUPLE YEARS.

HE MONITORS HER MEDICATION,

MAKES SURE SHE'S EATING
RIGHT, THAT KIND OF STUFF.

SEVEN WELL-TRAINED,
HEAVILY-ARMED MEN...

CAN'T TAKE CARE OF
ONE LITTLE OLD LADY?

YOU DISGUST ME.

YES, SIR.

DOUG, SHERIFF JANSON'S
ON THE PHONE.

WHO'S THAT? [Tom] LOCAL SHERIFF.

- WHAT'S HE GOT?
- IT'S FOR AGENT CHESNIC.

DOUG, WHY DON'T YOU
TAKE IT IN THE KITCHEN.

UH-HUH.

UH-HUH.

THEY FOUND THE CAR ON
A COUNTRY ROAD.

DRIVER UNCONSCIOUS ON
THE FRONT SEAT.

HE'S BEING TAKEN TO A
COUNTY HOSPITAL.

MRS. CARLISLE WAS NOT
AT THE SCENE.

JESUS CHRIST.

MR. PRESIDENT, TESS
CARLISLE HAS BEEN KIDNAPPED.

[Indistinct Police Radio]

[Man] UNFORTUNATELY, THE
FIRST OFFICER ON THE SCENE...

DROVE THROUGH THE TIRE TRACKS.

MAKES IT TOUGH AS HELL
TO GET FINGERPRINTS.

[Officer] HEY, BOBBY. LOOK HERE.

IT'S OUT OF OUR HANDS.
NO, DEFINITELY.

I DON'T WANT TO STEP ON
ANY MORE TOES.

[Indistinct Police
Radio, Generator Humming]

[Siren Wailing]

I THOUGHT YOU'D APPRECIATE AN UPDATE.

A PLASTIC SYRINGE WAS FOUND
ON THE FLOOR OF THE FRONT SEAT.

THE LABS SAYS IT CONTAINS A
COMBINATION OF EXTREMELY POWERFUL DRUGS:

KETAMINE AND ATIVAN.

BOTH ARE COMMON. THEY'RE EASY TO STEAL.

AND USED TOGETHER WOULD
KNOCK OUT A FULL GROWN MAN...

WITHIN TEN SECONDS OF BEING INJECTED.

A BIG ENOUGH SHOT WOULD KEEP HIM
DOWN FOR UP TO SIX OR SEVEN HOURS.

WHICH SQUARES WITH HOW
LONG YOUR GUY WAS OUT.

WE TAKE IT AS A GOOD SIGN
THAT THEY USED A DRUG...

INSTEAD OF... KILLING HIM.

THE, UH, INJURIES...

ON THE BACK OF THE DRIVER'S
NECK, BY THE WAY, ARE BURNS.

WHICH IS INTERESTING.

THEY'RE BOTH IN THE SHAPE OF A SMALL
CRESCENT, SMALLER THAN A QUARTER.

MY FRIENDS FROM THE C.I.A.
THINK IT MIGHT BE A BRAND,

A SIGNATURE KIND OF THING FOR A
MIDDLE EASTERN TERRORIST ORGANIZATION.

ALSO, WE SPOKE TO
MRS. CARLISLE'S DOCTOR.

THOSE PILLS THAT SHE
TAKES FOR DIZZINESS--

ACTUALLY, IT'S A LITTLE
MORE SERIOUS THAN THAT.

SHE HAS AN INOPERABLE BRAIN TUMOR.

DID ANY OF YOU KNOW THAT?

ANYWAY, WE'LL HAVE FIBER AND
FINGERPRINT REPORTS BY LATE AFTERNOON.

A NOTE WAS FOUND IN THE
CAR'S GLOVE COMPARTMENT...

DEMANDING $15 MILLION.

WELL, THAT'S ABOUT IT,

EXCEPT, UM, WE'RE GOING
TO NEED THESE OFFICES.

YOU CAN ALL GO HOME IF YOU WANT TO.

THAT'S THE BEST THING
TO DO, I THINK. THANKS.

[Door Closes]

WELL, LET'S GET ANY
PERSONAL STUFF AND GET OUT.

WHAT'S WITH THAT NONSENSE ABOUT
MIDDLE EASTERN TERRORISTS?

CAN YOU IMAGINE A BUNCH OF ARABS
SLIPPING AROUND SUMMERSVILLE UNNOTICED?

YEAH, WHAT ABOUT THIS PLASTIC
SYRINGE IN THE BACK OF THE CAR?

DOES THAT BOTHER ANYBODY ELSE?
IF THESE GUYS ARE SUCH PROS,

WHY WOULD THEY LEAVE SOMETHING LIKE THAT
BEHIND? IT HAD TO BE LEFT ON PURPOSE.

HMM, YEAH. HOW LONG
AS SHE BEEN GONE? UM...

22 HOURS AND 30 MINUTES.

DOUG, CAN I GET A RIDE WITH YOU?

YES.

MRS. CARLISLE... HIRED ME.

I KNOW, KIMBERLY. WE'LL FIND HER.

WHEN OTHERS WOULDN'T.

- [Tires Screeching]
- DOUGLAS, MAKE THIS QUICK.

I JUST WANT YOU TO
THINK ABOUT THIS.

MRS. CARLISLE IS SITTING IN THE
BACK SEAT OF THE LINCOLN, RIGHT?

NOW, IF SHE'S BEEN TAKEN
OFF AGAINST HER WILL,

YOU KNOW SHE'S NOT JUST
GONNA SIT THERE AND TAKE THAT.

SHE'S GONNA TAKE SOME
FORM OF ACTION.

SO WHAT DOES SHE HAVE
IN THE WAY OF A WEAPON?

I DON'T KNOW. CIGARETTE
LIGHTER. RIGHT THERE IN THE DOOR.

MAKES A LITTLE ROUND
CRESCENT-SHAPED BURN.

HOW'S IT GOING?
YOU GETTING ANYWHERE?

WE'LL KNOW MORE WHEN ALL
THE LAB STUFF COMES IN.

YEAH, WELL, IF THERE'S ANYTHING
I CAN DO, MR. SHAEFFER OR DOUG,

UH, JUST ASK ME. THANK YOU.

EARL, CAN WE HAVE A LOOK AT YOUR NECK?

YEAH, I GUESS. WHAT FOR?

WELL, IT'S JUST SUCH
A PECULIAR THING. OH.

LET ME GET A NURSE TO
HELP WITH THE BANDAGE.

[Door Opens, Closes]

WHAT'S THIS ABOUT? HE
JUST WANTS TO SEE THE BURNS.

HE THINKS THEY'RE THE KEY TO THIS CASE.

THE BURNS? YEAH.

I ALREADY TOLD HIM I DON'T KNOW HOW
THEY GOT THERE BECAUSE I WAS UNCONSCIOUS.

[Door Opens] [Sighs]

COULD YOU SIT UP, PLEASE? OKAY.

[Clears Throat]

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

[Shaeffer] ABOUT THE BURNS? YEAH.

WE GOT A COUPLE IDEAS. LIKE WHAT?

JUST IDEAS. OH.

[Earl] THANK YOU.

WELL, I CERTAINLY HOPE YOU'RE NOT
GOING TO TRY TO PIN THIS ON ME.

I CERTAINLY WASN'T
THE ONE WHO ARRANGED...

FOR MRS. CARLISLE TO BE IN THE MIDDLE
OF NOWHERE, GUARDED BY ONLY ONE AGENT.

THAT WAS NOT MY IDEA.

I ALSO WASN'T THE ONE WHO HATED
MRS. CARLISLE WITH A VENGEANCE.

THAT WAS AGENT CHESNIC
HERE. DID HE TELL YOU THAT?

IS THAT RIGHT? YOU HATED
HER? WITH A VENGEANCE.

I ACTUALLY LIKE HER VERY MUCH. ASK
ANYBODY. THEY ARGUED ALL THE TIME.

ISN'T THAT RIGHT, DOUG? IS
THAT NORMAL, FOR AN AGENT...

TO BE ARGUING
WITH HIS-- NO.

NO, OF COURSE IT'S NOT.

SEE, YOU SHOULD BE ASKING HIM THE
QUESTIONS. HATED HER: TRUE OR FALSE?

LOOK, SHE TREATED THESE GUYS LIKE DIRT.

SHE-- SHE THREW THEM ALL OUT
OF THE HOUSE A COUPLE WEEKS AGO.

[Earl] CAN I HAVE A
CIGARETTE? SORRY, DON'T SMOKE.

WHY ARE YOU SUDDENLY SO UPSET?

I'M NOT UPSET.

WELL, WOULDN'T YOU BE?

LOOK, I MAY BE ONLY THE DRIVER,

BUT I'M AT LEAST SMART ENOUGH TO KNOW
THAT YOU GUYS ARE NOT GONNA LEAVE TOWN...

WITHOUT PUTTING SOMEBODY IN JAIL, AND
THAT SOMEBODY DOESN'T HAVE TO BE GUILTY.

I READ. I KNOW HOW YOU GUYS OPERATE.

YOU DID IT, DIDN'T YOU, EARL?

THE HELL WITH YOU, OKAY, DOUGIE?

- IT WAS EASY, WASN'T IT?
- GET HIM OUT OF MY FACE.
I'M NOT PUTTING UP WITH THIS.

ALL RIGHT. OKAY. OKAY? OKAY.

I HAVE TO WARN YOU, MR. FELLER, THAT
THE F.B.I. DOES CONSIDER YOU SUSPECT.

WELL, THAT'S JUST TERRIFIC. I
SUGGEST YOU GET A LAWYER QUICKLY.

DON'T YOU WORRY ABOUT THAT.
I'M GOING TO PROTECT MYSELF.

- WHERE IS SHE, EARL?
- [Sighs, Chuckles]

SPEAK TO MY LAWYER,
AGENT-- AGENT DOUGIE.

ALL RIGHT. THAT'S IT FOR NOW.

NO MORE QUESTIONS. BUT WE HAVE
TO HAVE YOU AVAILABLE TO US,

AT OUR CONVENIENCE.

ALL RIGHT--
OH, NO, DOUG.

[Gasping] LET'S NOT BE
STUPID HERE.

ALL RIGHT? WHERE IS SHE?

I DON'T KNOW. DOUG, WE'RE
THE GOOD GUYS, OKAY?

WE DON'T DO STUFF LIKE
THIS. DON'T YOU GET IT?

I'M THE ONLY ONE THAT YOU'VE
GOT, AND HE WANTS TO KILL ME!

DOESN'T THAT TELL YOU ANYTHING?

COME ON, DOUG. I'M TELLING
YOU TO HOLSTER YOUR PISTOL.

OH, JESUS, HELP ME. GODDAMN
IT, DOUG. PUT THAT GUN AWAY.

YOU'RE ALREADY IN SO MUCH TROUBLE!

HE'S GONNA TELL ME. TELL YOU
WHAT? I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING.

EVEN IF HE DOES, WE CAN'T
USE IT! NOT LIKE THIS!

EARL... I'M GOING TO
COUNT TO FIVE,

AND THEN I'M GONNA SHOOT
ONE OF YOUR TOES OFF.

[Earl] OH, GOD! DOUG.

AND THEN I'M GONNA COUNT TO
FIVE AND SHOOT ANOTHER TOE.

- DOUG!
- LISTEN, I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING!

WILL YOU JUST GET THAT THROUGH
YOUR THICK-- [Gunshot]

- [Screaming]
- DOUG, ARE YOU CRAZY? ARE YOU?

HE DIDN'T COUNT! HE DIDN'T
EVEN COUNT! FIVE, FOUR--

- YOU'RE GOING TO PRISON, DOUG.
- LISTEN TO ME! JUST LISTEN TO ME?

IF HE IS INVOLVED-- [Intercom
] THIS IS THE NURSE'S STATION.

SHOULD WE CALL THE POLICE? [
Shaeffer] YES, AND THE F.B.I.

IF HE IS INVOLVED THEN
SHE KNOWS IT!

AND IF SHE KNOWS IT, HER LIFE IS
WORTHLESS! DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME?

THEY HAVE TO FUCKIN' KILL HER! WE
DON'T HAVE TIME TO MEET HIS LAWYER!

RIGHT, EARL? OH, GOD HELP ME!

FIVE! FOUR! DOUG.

THREE! TWO! [
Screaming] OKAY! OKAY!

OKAY, OKAY, OKAY. LOOK, THEY'VE
GOT HER IN AN ABANDONED FARMHOUSE.

AN ABANDONED FARMHOUSE? YEAH! YEAH!

I DON'T THINK SO. FIVE!
NO, NO! I SWEAR TO GOD!

I SWEAR TO GOD!
DOUG! REALLY!

LISTEN, IT'S MY SISTER AND HER
HUSBAND. CHECK IT OUT, DOUG.

IT WASN'T MY IDEA! I SWEAR TO GOD!

[Earl Crying Hysterically]

THEY MADE ME DO IT!

[Crying] MRS.
CARLISLE'S ALL RIGHT, DOUG,

BECAUSE MY SISTER IS TAKING
VERY GOOD CARE OF HER.

[Indistinct Weather Report]

...DRIZZLE OUTSIDE.
SUNSET TOMORROW ABOUT 4:50.

[Window Shatters, Canister
Hissing] [Woman Gasps]

- [Explosion]
- FREEZE! THAT'S IT!

- [Man Gasping]
- YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO REMAIN SILENT!

[Men Shouting]

[Thunder Rumbling]

[Helicopter Hovering]

SHE'S OVER HERE. WHERE?

THERE. SHE'S DOWN THERE.

WHAT? TAKE THAT OFF.

YOU BURIED HER? JESUS
CHRIST. IS SHE ALIVE?

YEAH. PRETTY SURE.

[Shaeffer] YOU PUT HER
DOWN THERE OVER 30 HOURS AGO.

THIS IS NOT A YOUNG WOMAN. YOU GUYS
BETTER START SAYING YOUR PRAYERS.

WHAT DID YOU DO? WHAT DID
YOU DO! HUH? [Men Yelling]

[Shaeffer] TAKE IT EASY!

JESUS CHRIST. GET HIM
THE HELL OUTTA HERE!

LOOK HOW DEEP THAT IS. THEY
WEREN'T GONNA DIG HER UP.

KEEP HER ALIVE FOR A DAY OR
TWO IN CASE YOU HAD TO HAVE HER,

STEP LIVELY NOW!
WATCH YOUR HEAD!

WATCH YOUR FEET! THE BOTTOM
OF THE COPTER IS SLICK!

CAREFUL!

WATCH YOUR HEAD!

SORRY, SIR. THAT'S TOO MANY.

THAT'S BULLSHIT. WE'RE
GETTIN' ON. NO CAN DO, PAL.

ALL RIGHT, WE'LL MEET 'EM
AT THE HOSPITAL. COME ON.

WHAT DO YOU THINK, DOUG?

SHE'S ALIVE, JOE.
THAT'S ALL I KNOW.

HEY! ANYBODY OUT HERE
NAMED DOUGLAS CHESNIC?

DOUG CHESNIC!

I'M CHESNIC! WHAT IS IT?

LADY'S AWAKE, SIR! SAYS
SHE'S NOT GOING ANYWHERE...

WITHOUT HER SECRET SERVICE DETAIL!

IS THAT YOU GUYS? YEAH,

- CAN YOU COME ABOARD, SIR?
- YEAH, WE CAN DO THAT!

WAIT ONE SECOND, SIR!

I'M SORRY, GENTLEMEN. I HAVE
TO THROW SOME OF YOU OFF.

SHE GONNA BE ALL RIGHT? LOOKS LIKE IT.

WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN? LOOKING FOR YOU.

HOW LONG DID IT TAKE YOU TO FIGURE
OUT THE CIGARETTE LIGHTER BURNS?

ABOUT 22 HOURS.

OH, DOUGLAS, IT WAS SO
OBVIOUS. NO, IT WASN'T.

I WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO GOT
IT. I CAN HARDLY BELIEVE THAT.

IT'S TRUE. HOWARD SHAEFFER, F.B.I.

IF I MAY SAY, MA'AM, AGENT
CHESNIC IS THE REASON WE FOUND YOU.

- IF HE HADN'T SHOT A MAN IN
THE HOSPITAL-- - SHOT A MAN?

YES, MA'AM. YOU FINALLY GOT
TO SHOOT SOMEBODY, DOUGLAS?

- WELL...
- DID YOU KILL HIM?

HE SHOT HIM IN THE TOE.

OH, AFTER ALL THAT PRACTICE.

YES, MA'AM. MA'AM, IF I COULD
SET THE RECORD STRAIGHT--

EXCUSE ME, I'D JUST LIKE TO TALK TO
THIS GENTLEMAN, IF YOU DON'T MIND.

[Phone Ringing]

I'LL GET IT, DEAR.

TELL THE OTHERS I'LL BE
OUT IN A MINUTE. YES, MA'AM.

HELLO? [Woman] MRS. CARLISLE,
THE PRESIDENT'S RETURNING YOUR CALL.

OH, YES, THANK YOU. YES, MA'AM.

[President] TESS, ARE THEY TREATING
YOU ALL RIGHT IN THAT HOSPITAL?

'CAUSE IF THEY'RE NOT-- HAROLD, I WANT
MY SECRET SERVICE AGENT TAKEN CARE OF.

TESS, THE MAN DISCHARGED A
FIREARM IN A PUBLIC PLACE.

I DON'T CARE ABOUT ANY OF THAT.
THIS YOUNG MAN SAVED MY LIFE.

HE'S LIKE A SON TO ME, HAROLD. I WANT
HIM TAKEN CARE OF. YOU UNDERSTAND?

WELL, SURE, TESS.
I'M SURE WE--

OH, AND IF ANYTHING
SHOULD EVER HAPPEN TO ME,

I WANT YOUR PERSONAL WORD
THAT YOU WILL LOOK AFTER HIM.

WELL, SURE, TESS. YOU KNOW
I-- GOOD. THANKS, HAROLD.

THAT'S ALL I WANTED TO KNOW. YOU HAVE
YOURSELF A NICE DAY. Y-YES, MA'AM.

[Over P.A.] DR. WILLIS
TO 4-WEST NURSE'S STATION.

[Mrs. Carlisle] WHAT IS THIS?

IT'S YOUR WHEELCHAIR, MA'AM. I CAN SEE IT'S
A WHEELCHAIR, BUT I WON'T BE NEEDING IT.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. IT'S HOSPITAL
POLICY THAT YOU LEAVE BY WHEELCHAIR.

NO, I WOULD REALLY PREFER
NOT TO SIT IN THE WHEELCHAIR.

I WOULD MUCH RATHER WALK
ON MY OWN TWO FEET...

WITH MY OWN STEAM OUT OF THE HOSPITAL.

I UNDERSTAND, BUT THE RULES AND
REGULATIONS STATE THAT EACH PATIENT...

OH, THE RULES? NO, NO, NO.
MUST LEAVE IN A WHEELCHAIR.

RULES AND REGULATIONS ARE NOT
SOMETHING I'M TERRIBLY FOND OF.

JUST ALLOW ME TO GO
OUT ON MY OWN.

PLEASE, MRS. CARLISLE, I'M
JUST TRYING TO DO MY JOB.

I WOULD LIKE VERY MUCH-- I AM NOT
SITTING IN THAT! MRS. CARLISLE, PLEASE!

[Whistles]

IF I MAY INTERRUPT.

THE REGULATIONS AREN'T
REALLY THAT SACRED, ARE THEY?

AND, TESS...

GET IN THE GODDAMN CHAIR.

HMM.

VERY GOOD, DOUGLAS.

YOU'LL BE ALL RIGHT. VERY GOOD.

MRS. CARLISLE, HOW ARE YOU FEELING?

[Applause]

[Man] DO YOU PLAN TO
STAY IN SUMMERSVILLE?
