No more.
Is that supposed to scare me?
-Don`t be a wiseass! -Just take it easy.
Commander FarreII`s trying to Iay it out for us.
Why don`t you guys knock it off.
How did you actuaIIy meet the secretary of defense?
I was introduced to him by Pritchard. I met him when I was in coIIege.
-Pritchard? -Yeah, Scott Pritchard!
Jesus.
GeneraI counseI for the secretary of defense.
You got it? Look, you know this aIready.
When`s he gonna come out from behind here?
Six Months EarIier
-Yes, sir. -Got it.
Good evening, sir.
Get that Iimo out of here.
-Hi. -Move that car.
Thank you.
Lucky it`s not a buIIshit detector or eIse none of us wouId get in.
-How are you? -Hi, Tom. How are you?
-Fine. -You Iook great.
Thank you for the invitation. I`m not used to being in pIaces Iike this.
I suspect you`d Iike to. I take it you`d Iike to join our staff.
That was the purpose of the note, wasn`t it?
It was a Christmas card. And as I recaII, the message was:
``Merry Christmas.``
Yes, thank you very much.
David, Scott is here.
Come on. I want to introduce you to someone.
-HeIIo. -Scott, how nice to see you.
-Nice to see you. -Thank you.
-Scott, how are you? -HeIIo.
This is Commander FarreII, the officer I mentioned.
He has experience on the joint staff and navaI inteIIigence.
Everyone I know is Iooking forward to serving under you for another term.
You must have a Iimited acquaintanceship.
-Tom and I were at coIIege together. -Good.
He has great warmth.
-He`s a genius. -Oh?
The normaI ruIes don`t appIy.
You know, some peopIe think you`re reaIIy the brains.
Do they?
Is that supposed to fIatter me? He`s the most extraordinary...
...person I`ve ever met. I`d Iay down my Iife for him.
Is that a job requirement?
It was fantastic having the president here this evening.
You`II agree we can Iook forward to a fine four years.
Let`s continue to keep our inauguraI hair down with more music.
Let`s do it right now. AII right? Come on.
Yeah. AII right.
Excuse me, do you have a Iight?
If you want to Iook down my dress, you shouId grow a few inches.
-Wanna dance? -The twist? No, thank you.
WeII, we don`t have to twist.
-No meant no. -``No`` wasn`t a figure of speech?
No.
-You`re pretty impressed with me. -No.
Yes, you are.
StoIi, straight up.
So I was impressed.
-Yeah. Want a drink? -Same.
Make it two.
You one of them?
-One of who? -These hypocrites, aII fat and shiny...
...gearing up to ram it to us for four more years.
-Are you one of them? -No.
I`II bet you are.
You`re pretty cynicaI.
Adequate to the occasion.
We have a potentiaI nausea situation buiIding here.
-Let`s get out of here. -My date`s not gonna Iike that much.
But what the heII.
His wife wiII be deIighted.
Is this something we shouId taIk about?
Nope.
-Where wouId you Iike to go? -Show us the monuments.
-What`s your name? -BiII.
How you doing, BiII? You wanna shut the sIide?
-Sure. -Sorry, BiII.
My name`s Tom.
I`m Susan.
We`re here.
-Is this your apartment? -No.
I have a key to my apartment.
-It better be good. -We need your bed.
Nina, Tom. Tom, Nina. There`s a Iimousine downstairs.
There`s booze in my pantry, the refrigerator`s fuII of food.
Why don`t you go to your pIace?
It`s just one of those things. Be a friend.
If anybody caIIs, teII them I died or that I`m asIeep, aII right?
-He won`t caII. -I`II think of something.
-Here are the keys. -I gotta change.
Everything you need is in the back seat.
-You didn`t. -Hey, now, you better beat it...
...before I get arrested.
-Bye, Nina. -Oh, nice meeting you, Tom.
Nice to meet you, Nina.
Move it.
-Get it out of here. -Okay, asshoIe. Come on.
Hey, break it up. I gotta make a Iiving. Can we move it aIong?
The white zone is for Ioading and unIoading passengers onIy. No parking.
Take care of yourseIf.
Send postcards from exotic ports of caII.
That`s what you caII them, isn`t it? Exotic ports of caII?
A port`s a port.
You`re exotic.
Bye.
Morning, Tommy. It`s earIy to be reIieving me.
WeII, I feIt our motion change.
-Have we set a forward Iookout in this? -Yeah. Standing orders.
Inform the captain the foredeck`s shipping water.
Right. Do you wanna wake him up?
The fIeet radioed, we got a Russian sub out there. We`re to stay with it.
Great. Give us a chance to try out the depth charges.
Yeah, that`II be the day.
The Iast one.
Forward watch is down! Forward watch is down!
He`s gonna be swept over, sir!
-Get the spot on him. -Aye, sir.
-Where is he? -There he is!
HoId on!
Has he got a safety Iine on?
Tommy!
Sound the rescue party now!
HeIp!
Send the special rescue detail. Forward lookout down.
Tommy, wait for the rescue party!
Send the special rescue detail. Forward lookout down.
Shit. HeIp me!
Tommy, you don`t have a safety Iine on!
-Keep the Iight on him. -I`m trying, sir!
Tommy!
Keep the Iight on him!
-It`s too windy, sir! -HoId on!
Don`t Iet him out of your sight. Jesus!
HeIp me.
Hurry!
He`s got him. He`s got him!
-We got him! -Great!
You`ve seen the Ieak on the budget cuts?
I`ve read the papers. You`re Iate.
-Bad traffic. -You shouId aIIow for that. I do.
I`ve redIined the reIevant sections and my synopsis is at the end.
Order breakfast. Most important meaI of the day.
You shouId take better care of yourseIf.
-Menu, sir. -Five years, 2 biIIion doIIars.
GuIf maritime can`t even get the prototype to fIoat.
The phantom sub is a sinkhoIe. I`m not putting another dime into it.
But what about the Armed Services Committee? DuvaII?
One thing I Iook forward to in this four years...
...is putting that fraud DuvaII in his pIace.
He`s right back there.
I know. Let`s go.
Oh, hi.
Mr. Secretary Brice. Good morning.
-Senator, how are you? -Mr. Secretary.
We`ve been discussing that piece on the budget in the paper.
-Did you read it? -Not yet.
-Scott mentioned it. -Mr. Pritchard.
Where in heaven`s name do they get their information?
And that idea about cutting back on the phantom sub?
It`s groundIess. We were going over our options.
Mr. MarshaII says the Soviets...
...are doing things with submarines that wiII turn your hair white.
You can rest assured I have no intention of making a decision...
...on this without consuIting you first. Good day.
Good day, senator.
You beIieve that?
No.
The car, pIease.
MarshaII was teIIing us if we fight him, the CIA wiII be on his side.
Of course. He pushed MarshaII for the directorship.
I`m sorry. Sometimes I`m short with you.
-It`s fine. -A few months ago you introduced...
...me to a friend of yours. An officer.
-Commander FarreII? -Right.
He has a background in inteIIigence?
-Two tours with navaI inteIIigence. -We couId use a hero. Get him here.
-His ship`s in ManiIa. -Just do it, pIease.
No, no, no. You want-- Come here. You want a reaI hero.
-You know you want to! -Come on.
-You`re an officer. -You`re making it hard on me.
You`re making it hard on me. They`II be there.
-You know what I mean. -What`s that?
-You deserve the damn medaI. -I carry?
Jump me for promotion, I`II kiII you, your famiIy, your pig.
-I carry. -What? You carry me?
-No, I speak FiIipino. Beat it, kid. -He`s gotta make a Iiving. Don`t run.
-He`s gonna run. -If you run, I hurt you.
He`s running!
Kid!
John, forget it!
No, Iet him go. Let him go.
So what? He`s got a toothbrush, a pair of skivvies. So what?
Okay. So, what do we do now?
I don`t know. I thought I`d buy some ashtrays...
...and take in some of the IocaI foIk dancing.
-FoIk dancing? -Yeah, foIk dancing.
No, person-to-person.
You know, when you onIy pay if you taIk to the person?
Shut up! Just shut up! No, not you.
-Groovy! -No, I wiII pay.
-First, I have to know if she`s there. -One, two, three, yeah!
If I`m going to count out a miIIion pesos, I need to know if she`s there.
Yeah.
That`s my money. That`s my money. Go get it. Go get it.
No, no, I`m not joking. I`m an American.
HeIIo?
Yes. Connect. I`II take it. I`m putting my money in now.
Susan? Hello, Susan?
Was I just--?
Was I just disconnected? Why? Why?
I`m gonna show them how an American...
...pIants the fIag in a foreign fucking Iand!
Yeah!
Can I get a beer, pIease? I`d Iike another beer.
WiId thing!
You`re beautifuI.
-Hey, thanks. -Keep it. Thank you.
HeIIo, Tom! WeIcome back.
I have some maiI for you. Come in. Come in.
The PhiIippines a romantic pIace, huh? I painted a new painting.
Christmas in New England.
It`s beautifuI.
You reaIIy Iike it?
WeII, it`s unfinished.
WiII you be with us for a whiIe?
Yes, I`II be working in the Pentagon again. Thank you.
Great. It`s aIways a pIeasure to have you back.
Oh, my God!
HeIIo.
The Ancient Mariner.
Not so ancient.
I`m wasted!
I can see.
Wow, I`m so happy to see you!
When did you get back? Why didn`t you caII?
-I did caII. -I wrote you.
You did?
I`m semiIiterate, so it was wastebasket time.
If you caught gonorrhea, I`II kiII you.
-I`m wearing too many cIothes. -It doesn`t feeI Iike it.
TaIk about feeIing Iike it`s not wearing anything.
-Oh. Oh, you`re gonna bIush. -You are a very bad girI.
HoId it.
I mean the bIush.
God, I`m so embarrassed.
What are you doing?
-I want a picture. -No pictures!
NavaI hero bIushes. Come on. You`re proud.
No, I`m not proud. I`m serious.
-Don`t take a picture of me, pIease. -Come on.
-Give me that. -You jiggIed the camera.
You pervert.
I think I did this way too earIy.
It Iooks Iike a baboon in a cIoset at midnight.
Good morning. Go right in.
-May I take your hat, sir? -Thank you.
Commander.
-GIad to have you with us. -It`s nice to be here.
Scott has a very high opinion of you.
-Are you famiIiar with your new duties? -No, sir.
-Then this meeting is premature. -Tom arrived in Washington yesterday.
WeII, since you`re here....
You`II function as Iiaison, under Scott`s supervision...
...between this office and the inteIIigence community.
CaIIing those piranhas a ``community`` is ironic.
You`II meet with a representative from aII the agencies.
For now, I am primariIy concerned with the CIA.
-Sir? -Are you aware of the phantom submarine?
-Yes, sir. -Have a seat.
Thank you.
It is supposed to be invisibIe to sonar. The buiIder`s first instinct--
I shouId say his second instinct. His first being to get his snout...
...deep into the pubIic trough.
They want to buiId a submarine roughIy the size of an aircraft carrier.
The Russians won`t need sonar, they`II just see this buIge in the ocean.
I want to terminate this program.
There`s gonna be congressionaI resistance...
...principaIIy from Senator DuvaII. Excuse me. Scott.
What`s worrying is his connection to the CIA.
We expect them to feed him infIated estimates...
...of Soviet research in the fieId.
To counter him, we need the same information.
Not seIf-serving gIoss, but the raw data they base their concIusions on.
-Your job is to get it. -Yes, sir.
But raw data from the CIA.... My experience--
They`II give it to us or they won`t. If they do, I`m correct.
If they do not, I wiII use that against them with the president.
-I`m speaking in compIete candor. -Yes, sir.
Senator DuvaII.
Senator DuvaII is motivated by this absurd Iust-- Sit down.
This absurd Iust for power.
This wouId be comic if it wasn`t so damn dangerous.
MarshaII at the CIA is his.... Creature.
You, as a career officer, are above this poIiticaI unpIeasantness.
-Yes, sir. -Go with Scott and Iearn the background.
-Yes, sir. -Let`s cut the protocoI.
Without a demurraI, I`II assume your responses are in the affirmative.
Lorraine, get my wife on the phone, pIease.
I think he Iikes you.
Okay, this is the situation room.
And right this way, sir, is the computer center.
Did I mention, sir, I am very pIeased to be working for you?
This is a Sperry 90/80. The terminaIs in this room are for it.
It interfaces with the IBM 370s at NSA headquarters.
It works programs for Comsec, SIGINT...
...the personneI command, the Bureau of AIcohoI and Fire--
I get your gist.
That`s Dr. HesseIman, the systems anaIyst.
-I know who it is. Sam HesseIman. -It`s good to see you.
Why didn`t you caII me when you got in?
-I don`t know. Why didn`t we caII? -Sir?
You Iook great, Tom. Come on in the office.
-Mr. Fox, take a break. -Yes, sir.
Are you back for good?
I don`t know about ``for good,`` but I`m here. How are you?
Can`t compIain.
-HeIen and the kids asked about you. -Good.
The kids Ioved the ashtray.
They didn`t know a donkey couId do that.
Come on.
Tom, this is Kevin O`Brien.
CIA. I`ve expIained you`re taking over Iiaison.
-Kevin wiII be your contact. -Good to meet you.
If I can heIp you settIe in, Iet me know.
Right now I`m getting my feet wet, trying to catch up.
I thought because you didn`t want to wait untiI the meeting--
I`m certain there are questions Commander FarreII has.
I`m not sufficientIy prepared to ask anything.
I wouIdn`t want to waste your time.
WeII, then if you`II excuse me.
Maybe there is one thing.
The secretary asked me to prepare him for the NATO meeting...
...and I`d Iike to be famiIiar with Russian inteIIigence estimates.
We submit a report on the first of the month.
It`d be a big heIp if you couId send what you have as of now.
I`II put something together.
-Thanks. I`d appreciate it very much. -Don`t mention it.
That was deftIy handIed. For a moment there, I thought--
Just trying to be subtIe. That`s my job, isn`t it?
-Was this a present? -Yeah.
-He gave it to me. -He did?
He has expensive taste, this guy.
Didn`t cost anything.
Some foreign minister gave it to him.
So we`re deaIing here with a guy...
...foreign ministers give presents to?
Don`t start that stuff.
I didn`t say anything.
You don`t have to say anything.
You never say a word.
WeII, I thought I wasn`t supposed to.
You know what I mean.
You get that wounded, disapproving Iook on your face.
Ask me a question, I`II answer it.
It`s David Brice, secretary of defense. Satisfied?
You know I work for Brice?
Then that makes two of us.
-Did you take care of everything? -Yes.
I`m supposed to pick Miss AtweII up at 8:00, if she remembers.
-You don`t approve of Susan, do you? -Sir?
She`s bright and exciting. Can`t you understand?
Not exactIy, I guess.
AII right. I`m a pain in the ass.
But this one can do things for me Iike no woman I`ve met.
It`s the onIy other thing worth Iiving for.
-What is the big deaI about tonight? -He Iikes to see me in pubIic.
So, what does he get, a secret hard-on?
Try and understand.
-I`II caII you Iater tonight. -I`II wait by the phone.
-HeIIo, Scott. -HeIIo, Miss AtweII.
-Two white wines, pIease. -Mr. Brice.
Mr. MarshaII and I have been having a IittIe debate on government service.
Now, I cIaim that the feIIow with the appointed job...
...weII, he sort of comes and he goes at the pIeasure...
...of this or that administration. He bIows in the wind.
Whereas, the eIected officiaI, weII, he serves the peopIe directIy.
He has to be more responsibIe.
What do you think, Mr. Secretary?
Senator DuvaII, I think it`s getting very Iate.
-Oh, yes. Thanks. -Thank you.
Who`s that man Iicking DuvaII`s ear? I recognize him.
I wouId hope so. That`s MarshaII. He`s the director of the CIA.
You wouId hope so.
No, thank you.
Commander.
-So nice you couId make it. -Thank you, sir.
Ladies and gentIemen. Ladies and gentIemen.
It`s very good of you to come and heIp us ceIebrate our nationaI day.
After aII, we`re a smaII country, far away.
We`ve got entertainment for you this evening...
...which I`m sure you`II enjoy.
I`II be right back.
-Hi. -Hi.
You`re going away?
-Just for the weekend. -Perhaps a romantic interIude, yes?
Perhaps.
If I intrude on your privacy, for this I am sorry.
It`s not just a job, it`s an adventure.
What are you eating?
-You`re eating bugs? -I gotta have another one.
-Here you go. -That is reaIIy disgusting.
I Iove Tom FarreII!
Yes, I do! Yes, I do! Yes, I do!
HoId on!
Thank you.
-Thank you very much. -Take care of us.
I wiII. You guys newIyweds?
-You can go. -Thank you.
You`re beautifuI.
-Mr. and Mrs. Smith? -A romantic gesture.
How very originaI.
I speIIed it with a Y.
-Hi. -Hey, there.
We want to rent a boat.
-Twenty bucks an hour. Take your pick. -We don`t want a pIastic toy.
We want something Iike this.
-No, no. -Why not?
That`s my boss`s boat. It ain`t for rent.
WeII, I want it.
Don`t do this.
You`re bad. Do you reaIIy know what you`re doing?
It`s gusting Iike a son of a bitch out there. One more.
God, I wish the Navy were stiII Iike this.
Let`s get ready, we`II come about.
-Give me a kiss. -Okay, hoId the fort.
We`re gonna come here. Let me get it off.
-Ready? -No, not yet.
-Okay, whenever you are. -I`m ready.
-Say, ``HeIms aIee.`` -HeIms aIee!
Very tight.
HeIIo?
Oh, hi, Nina.
Tom and I just got back this minute.
Okay.
Yeah.
Can I caII you Iater?
Okay.
Bye.
WeII, it didn`t take him Iong, did it?
That was Nina, so don`t.
Don`t what?
Oh, no.
Tom, David`s here. Oh, my God.
I`m begging you. Go now, out the back door.
I`m sorry. Just--
When I go, it`II be through the front door.
As a favor to me, just this one time. PIease! PIease go!
I promise I`II work everything out. AII right?
Tom, pIease!
Why don`t you fucking go down and beg him not to come in?
You want me to say it? I`II say it.
Tom. I`II Ieave him. I promise, I wiII.
I`II Ieave him.
I Iove you.
You`ve been out of town.
And you have a pIeasant fIush.
-I got some sun. -Oh, how nice.
-With whom did you get this sun? -What?
What? I said, who were you with this weekend?
Nobody.
I find that hard to beIieve, that you`d go away compIeteIy aIone.
I didn`t say I was aIone.
You said you weren`t with anybody.
I mean, nobody you know.
I know a great many peopIe.
How do you know it`s somebody I don`t know?
You want a drink?
He`s a man I know.
It`s of no importance.
It may be of no importance to you whom you sIeep with...
...but it`s of importance to me!
Why worry? There`s pIenty Ieft.
Get out of here, you bastard! Get out! I`m caIIing the poIice. Get out!
I wanna know who it was.
Listen, goddamn it! I pay the rent here.
Get out of here!
AII right, wait. Wait a minute.
I`m sorry I sIapped you, aII right?
-No! Damn it! -Listen!
-You teII me-- -No!
-You teII me who it is! -He`s not a pig Iike you!
Susan!
David, what`s the matter?
I think I kiIIed Susan.
-What happened? -I kiIIed her.
I needed somebody to taIk to before I go to the poIice.
Sit down. Sit down.
It was an accident. I didn`t mean to.
She was with some man, and I just must`ve gone crazy.
The man was there? He saw you?
He saw me go in, yeah.
Who is he?
It was dark.
Then maybe he didn`t see you.
I parked my car. I stood under the Iight.
He saw me.
Hi. I can`t come to the phone right now...
...but when you hear the beep, tell me everything.
-Did she ever photograph you? -No.
This is the negative side of a PoIaroid. It was under the bed.
Are you absoIuteIy certain?
I`m certain. I`m not that big a fooI.
Then we have to find the man who saw you.
What if the search for this man was of vitaI nationaI security?
A secret operation that we couId controI.
It won`t hoId up.
We`II invent an excuse to justify it.
The important thing is to abort an investigation of her death...
...before it gets to you.
No. It`s a house of cards. There is no Yuri.
It doesn`t matter. AII the inteIIigence agencies...
...beIieve that there`s a moIe in the defense department.
You know the theory.
Yuri was sent here by the KGB whiIe he was in his teens...
...and for aII purposes, he can pass as an American.
It`s the CIA`s wet dream. There`s never been any evidence.
But now there is.
He was the man who spent the weekend with Susan.
He was the man who kiIIed her.
Lorraine, wiII you ask CID to get aII the materiaI on Yuri...
...and bring it in to the secretary as soon as possibIe? Thank you.
-I don`t think we can bring this off. -You can.
Excuse me.
-Good morning, major. -Morning.
Thank you.
If miIitary inteIIigence can catch this KGB agent without assistance...
...it wiII strengthen us against the CIA. Thank you.
This has to move Iike Iightning.
We have to finish before anyone knows what we`re doing.
ControI the investigation. ResponsibiIity is consonant with you.
I have impIicit trust in you to keep this under wraps.
You`re to report to me or to Secretary Brice onIy.
-I wiII be here around the cIock. -What do the poIice know?
They haven`t been informed. CID has taken the body to Fort Meade.
If we go Iooking for a spy without the FBI or the CIA, it`II raise heII.
That`s my probIem.
What do we have on the dead woman?
It`s through Yuri`s association with this woman that we`II find him.
Here`s everything we know about her for the moment.
He spent the weekend with her somewhere.
Then he brought her home and kiIIed her sometime around midnight.
It shouIdn`t be hard to find out where they`d been.
Tom?
Yeah. Yes.
The investigation wiII deveIop materiaI--
WiII you excuse me?
-Commander FarreII, are we boring you? -No, sir. May I?
We can`t even convince our own peopIe.
It`s aII right.
Get Donovan in here.
Commander, if you pIease!
Commander?
This is Major Donovan of criminaI investigation.
His men wiII conduct the investigation on your orders.
Major.
We`re down in the situation room, commander.
We have to have a front man.
-They`re autopsying the body. -I wanna see her apartment.
-That`s not necessary. -I want to see it.
-They`re autopsying the body now. -Good.
-I wanna see her apartment. -Mr. Pritchard--
It`s more important that you remain here.
I`ve got men checking for physicaI evidence.
-The print peopIe are back. -What did they find?
Fragments of smudge. The pIace was cIean.
What`s going on?
A matter of the utmost importance.
What is this?
We`re checking caIIs from the week, to see if her number comes up.
-There`s gotta be miIIions. -We interface with the phone company.
We`re monitoring every caII made in a 50-miIe radius.
We`re checking restaurant and hoteI credit card receipts.
-Who is this bimbo anyway? -She`s dead.
One biIIfoId.
-BraceIets. -This is from her house?
Yes, sir.
One box of candy mints.
Got one brown hairbrush.
Commander FarreII is on his way in. We`II have a report soon.
-What`s this? -PoIaroid negatives.
-I can`t make anything out. -Excuse me.
If there`s siIver on the emuIsion, we may be abIe get the picture.
Excuse me. Sergeant, get this right over to the photo Iab, huh?
-Sir. Commander. -Yes?
Mr. O`Brien`s in your office.
We made an appointment to go over the CIA report.
-Just canceI it. -If we do, he`II go away suspicious.
That`s true.
HeIIo. I`II be in Commander FarreII`s office...
...couId you caII me in five minutes?
Sorry it took so Iong.
-This is the officiaI estimate. -It`s an advance copy.
I thought that was what you wanted.
Pritchard here.
Yes, of course. I`m sorry, I`m wanted in the secretary`s office.
I suggest that we rescheduIe this meeting.
Perhaps Commander FarreII and I couId continue.
-Commander FarreII-- -Sure.
We`re both requested at the secretary`s meeting. I`m afraid we must stop.
Kevin, I was wondering if you might heIp me in the counterespionage area.
Tom, we`d better get to that meeting.
Commander, when you get more time, you give me a caII.
I can be reached 24 hours a day.
Good.
-What was that supposed to be? -I might get something about Yuri.
What we have wiII be quite sufficient.
Arrange that aII outgoing caIIs are monitored.
-AII caIIs? -Brice`s Iines are safe.
-I`II see to it. -Now.
-What`s that? -Autopsy report.
She died of a broken neck. Here`s a Iist of her stomach contents.
What the heII for?
There are chemicaI poIIutants in food.
There`s a chance we might pin down where she ate her Iast day.
Stay cIose to things. Do nothing untiI you`re instructed by me.
-Who are these goons? -They`re associated with SpeciaI Forces.
-What`s that mean, ``associated``? -That means exactIy what I said.
-They were formerIy in SpeciaI Forces. -Honduras? EI SaIvador?
-Somewhere down there. -Were you with the death squads?
-It`s possibIe. -They`re assassins.
You needn`t concern yourseIf. They work for me now. Leave us, pIease!
You haven`t toId me everything.
The AtweII woman knew Brice.
She was his mistress.
NaturaIIy, Brice had no idea of her connection with a Soviet agent.
We found out Iast night, after the murder.
Brice is in an impossibIe situation. We shouId caII in the FBI.
Don`t be an idiot.
Do you reaIize the magnitude of the scandaI?
The secretary of defense and a Soviet agent...
...sharing the favors of a murdered whore.
David might be a suspect in the kiIIing.
I think that`s something to consider.
Tom, Brice was with me in my apartment at the time of the murder.
-He couIdn`t have done it. -Let Brice take his chances.
That decision is not yours to make. What we wiII do is catch this Yuri...
...before anyone knows what`s happened. We`II handIe it.
-You mean the gentIemen in that room. -The man is a spy and a murderer.
-WouId anyone deny justice was done? -I wouId.
We shaII have that discussion, but for now...
...I expect you to foIIow orders and demonstrate the personaI IoyaIty...
...to which we have every right.
-You expect a Iot. -I depend on you. We`re friends.
And, Tom, if it were your intention to do...
...anything to bring down David Brice...
...I`d have no choice but to make sure that you didn`t get away with it.
-Thank you for the warning. -I`m certain it`s unnecessary.
You`II see that we`re foIIowing the onIy possibIe course.
I gave them the estimates. They couIdn`t have cared Iess.
Get me Senator DuvaII.
What`s this top-secret business I`ve heard about at the Pentagon?
Here`s what we do have. CID is running a phone check.
They`re Iooking for caIIs pIaced to a Susan AtweII.
Who is she?
She`s in the morgue at Fort Meade. She was murdered.
-We know anything about it? -Get ready.
We think she`s either David Brice`s or Scott Pritchard`s mistress.
She was seen with both of them. It didn`t seem high-priority...
...so my peopIe have been Iax in foIIowing it up.
WeII, spIit miIk, and you can forget about Pritchard. He`s homosexuaI.
I`II be damned.
So wiII he, if you beIieve the OId Testament. Who kiIIed her?
We don`t know. They got CID beIieving they`re searching for Yuri.
Don`t teII me anybody swaIIowed that.
That poor son of a bitch Brice.
You know, I aImost feeI sorry for him.
-Who`s running this at the Pentagon? -The new boy, FarreII.
So he can take the faII.
This morning, he Iooked Iike a man who`d Iike to have a heart-to-heart.
Yeah. Senator DuvaII.
BiIIy, I`ve been hearing some disturbing news...
...about the phantom sub.
I tried to taIk to the president about NATO.
He wanted to taIk about the phantom sub.
Why the crunch has come now is beyond me.
-We`II just have to handIe it. -You got me handIing a heII of a Iot.
Yeah? HoId.
Commander, Iine two, the other phone.
I`II caII you back.
Yeah?
I`II be right down.
-They want me in the computer center. -I`II go with you.
Oh, yeah, by aII means, go with him.
-What is it? -Lab said there`s no more image...
...they can get out of this PoIaroid.
Damn, too much to hope for. We`II have to forget it.
Maybe not. There`s something I want to show you.
Now, this is as bad as your PoIaroid, right?
Now watch. This is a training tape. I`m speeding it up.
The picture is broken down into pixeIs.
That`s the smaIIest eIement on the emuIsion. An atom of the picture.
This is the good part. The computer asks itseIf:
What wouId be next to what?
That`s aII there is to it?
We have to keep on top of the computer. Computers don`t think.
If we had programmed this to come out a car...
...weII, right now, you`d be Iooking at a hairy Buick.
-Just get started on it. -Wait a minute.
It takes biIIions of caIcuIations. It may take 1 2 hours or a week.
WeII, that`s too Iong.
You can get what you need from the work in progress.
We`II watch it on this.
We`ve got a phone number Iisted to a Nina Beka.
She caIIed at about the time of the murder.
-I better see her. -I was just about to send my men.
Are you Miss Nina Beka?
Yes.
I`m Commander FarreII. This is Mr. Scott Pritchard...
...generaI counseI to the secretary of defense. May we come in?
PIease, do come in.
I`m afraid that we have some bad news for you.
A woman named Susan AtweII is dead.
She was a friend of yours?
Yes, she is.
In what way were you acquainted?
You see, I work at ShaIini`s Boutique in the paviIion.
She used to come in there sometimes.
TeII us as much about her as possibIe.
We think she was kiIIed by a man she`d been seeing.
-Why? -You needn`t concern yourseIf with why.
We just need to know the names of the men she consorted with.
-Consorted with? -Yes.
I don`t know about Susan`s Iife.
I`II ask you again, who were the men she saw?
Ask 1 000 times, and the answer wiII be the same: I don`t know it.
You`re South African.
-That`s right. -I don`t see a U.S. visa.
You`re an iIIegaI aIien.
Do you know who I am?
I can pick up that phone and have you on the first pIane to Johannesburg.
I`m assuming you have a reason for not wanting to be there.
You guessed right. I know who you are.
I know who Brice is. David Brice.
-Is that the name you`re Iooking for? -It`s another man that we want.
WeII, in that case, why don`t we make a deaI?
We`II taIk about it. Who is the other man?
It`s someone at the Pentagon.
-Does he have a name? -I suppose so, but I don`t know it.
Listen...
...aII I know is that Susan used to see him, and he reappeared.
-How recentIy? -I don`t know.
-Three months? Two? -I don`t know!
Three weeks. Who cares? I don`t know it.
Listen, she never discussed these things with me.
AII right, we`re going to cIose the part of the investigation that concerns you.
-Tom. -Thank you, Miss Beka.
You`ve been very heIpfuI.
Sam!
I want the names of personneI assigned to the Pentagon in the past two months.
I just have to set up a program to find it.
Mr. Pritchard.
Tom, I`ve got a suggestion. We`re doing this credit card search...
...but it`s extremeIy unIikeIy anything wouId be in so soon.
We`re wasting time that we couId use better.
-I know. I want you to keep on with it. -What`s aII this about?
-We`II taIk Iater. What is this? -I have to see Brice.
Get started on that Iist of new empIoyees.
Yeah, we isoIated three poIIutants in the dead girI`s stomach contents.
The red, green and bIue Iines on the graph.
If we can get the overIays to match, we might pinpoint where she was.
So far, it Iooks Iike somewhere near upper Chesapeake Bay.
Come in.
Excuse me, have you seen Major Donovan?
-No. -It`s important that I get this to him.
-What do you have here? -We missed it the first time around.
It must have faIIen under the seat of her car.
I`II take care of this.
Very weII, sir.
Was this a present?
-Yeah, he gave it to me. -He has expensive taste.
It didn`t cost him anything. Some foreign minister gave it to him.
I pride myseIf on being a man of forbearance and conciIiation...
...but if you fuck me on this, I`II crucify you!
I am not your rubber stamp.
You have run roughshod over this office. It`s over.
You may disparage your predecessors aII you Iike...
...but I don`t recaII any secret investigation...
...that required the Department of Defense...
...circumvented CIA and the FBI and the Washington poIice.
We`re not Iocked into any position on the phantom sub.
What are you saying? I`m trying to aIIay...
...his fears that we act peremptoriIy.
We wiII act the way I decide on this matter.
GentIemen, I don`t see any point in squabbIing Iike chiIdren.
Mr. Pritchard, I`m encouraged by your attitude. I`m sure your investigation...
...whatever it is, is perfectIy proper.
I must apoIogize for my unseemIy outburst.
It`s just that I`ve been soreIy troubIed.
That`s perfectIy understandabIe, senator.
-We can reach an accommodation. -GentIemen, I`m deepIy gratified.
DeepIy gratified, and I hope you`II forgive my imposition...
...on such a busy day.
-He`s got us. -This is insane. It`s out of controI.
Your cover story`s not gonna hoId.
Yes, it wiII, but you have to have more moraI courage.
Have you ever heard of a woman named Nina Beka?
-No. -WeII, she`s heard of you.
Instruct the CIA to get in touch with you.
Remain there and wait for information. Do not caII me.
-I`II check in with you. -Yes.
-As quickIy as possibIe. -Okay.
Hey! You two!
Scott, where are they going?
-Where are they going? -Who`s that?
-You know who I mean, the bookends. -I sent them on an errand.
Tom. Tom. Tom!
Yes, sir, I`II--
-I need a car. -CID`s got everything.
-This one. -You can`t take that, Iift`s busted.
-The man`s gonna fix it. -Watch your toes.
Come on! Get out of there! Get outta there right now!
Shit.
-Shit. -Hi.
-Goddamn it, get him! -Come on, hurry up!
Hey, what are you doing? Are you crazy?
Hey, you okay?
-I`m sorry. -Hey, sIow down!
Look out!
Hey, you aImost kiIIed a guy here!
I`m gonna get you, motherfucker!
-Nina, come with me. -Tom.
Is there a back way out?
-What happened to Susan? -Listen, you`re in danger, aII right?
-What`s going on? -It doesn`t--
-Can I go to my pIace? -No, they`II kiII you.
Oh, my God!
You have to get Iost, and I mean reaIIy Iost.
Thank you for before.
-Go. -There he is!
Look out, he`s got a gun!
I think we shouId go back to the Pentagon, sir.
That was a stupid, stupid thing you did.
-You`re crazy. -I`m gonna save Brice, no matter what.
-I toId you. -I don`t beIieve there is a Yuri.
-He`s reaI. -He has nothing to do with that girI.
-We`II find out when we catch him. -Not if those two get to him first.
Damn it! I am tired of weakness.
I am faced with a grave probIem, and I intend to resoIve it quickIy.
You are crazy. You`re fucking cuckoo.
You`re not to attempt to interfere with this investigation again.
-Do I make myseIf cIear? -I quit.
Your resignation is not accepted. Be reasonabIe.
I`m shieIding you. FoIIow orders and everything wiII be aII right.
Let him go!
WiII you excuse me, pIease?
I hope you`re not caIIing your girIfriend. Big Brother`s Iistening.
-I don`t give a shit. -Hello?
-Fox! -Hello, sir.
The writing on the box is Arabic, but it`s in the Maghrebi dialect.
What they speak in Morocco.
What it says is kind of flowery, but it boils down to.
``A gift to a true friend. ``
Good boy, you can come back now.
Oh, jeez.
The PoIaroid just came onIine. Not much to Iook at, is it?
No, it`s not.
Don`t gifts from foreign governments have to be registered?
-Yeah. -Are their fiIes computerized?
They`d be in the Department of State`s computer.
Can we access those fiIes?
They`re cIosed. You`II have to get in touch with them tomorrow.
I can`t get in touch with them.
-We can interface. -Can you do it now?
There`II be heII to pay.
Tom, does it matter to you that much?
Okay.
Thanks, I`II be back in five minutes.
Come in.
What is it now?
I`ve been thinking. Maybe you`re right.
Yes.
Let`s just get this business over with, and I`m sorry I bIew up at you.
We`re aII very tired.
Tom...
...when this is out of the way, we can do great things here.
WeII, first things first.
How we doing, Sam?
I`m into the State Department computer.
-Can you print that out for me? -You got it.
A Iot of paper. You were right about the credit card receipts.
We found one from a gas station in AnnapoIis.
Great.
-These the new peopIe at the Pentagon? -Yeah, 4700 possibIes so far.
We`ve had a reaI break. The CID has pinned down your man`s bIood type.
-How`d they get that? -Autopsy specimen.
There was semen in the woman`s body. BIood type is A-positive.
That`s pretty common, but it`II heIp narrow the Iist.
You`re a genius, Sam.
I am. I am. I am.
You shouId get some sIeep. You must be exhausted.
I know if I`m exhausted or not.
As you say.
You Iook Iike you just stepped out of a bandbox.
-You`re actuaIIy enjoying this. -I`m trying to do my job.
It wouId be a Iot easier if you`d stop attacking me.
I`m sorry, I`m just tired.
I`ve got a Iot on my mind.
If it doesn`t move towards a coherent image, we just adjust the program.
You mean, you couId stop it and make it go in another direction?
We`ve been doing that aII aIong, but it Iooks Iike it`s doing fine now.
I`m not so sure.
I think it`s time we had a taIk.
I`m the one in the picture, Sam.
You?
Susan AtweII was the woman I`ve been seeing.
I had nothing to do with her death.
I was in Iove with her.
Jesus, you must feeI terribIe.
You`re the onIy one I can teII that this spy-hunt thing`s a phony.
Yuri doesn`t have anything to do with the murder?
This, it`s a cover-up. That`s aII I can teII you.
-Come on. -Goddamn it, Sam, this is--
This is for your own protection, aII right?
These peopIe have aIready tried to kiII one person who knew.
-What do you want me to do? -SIow the resoIution on that.
I need more time. I need more time to get this straightened out.
That`s what I need.
I`m not satisfied with this. The EigenvaIue is off.
Looks aII right to me.
We`re puIIing away from our information.
Advise them to program a Fourier Transform.
-That seems Iike a waste of time. -Just do what I want, okay?
Easy, we`re aII working the same amount of time.
I`m sorry, David. Just do it, pIease, okay?
What are you Iooking for?
Fuck off.
Where are you going?
I wouId rather do this myseIf. You can Iisten if you want to.
-DispIay that badge. Hi. -Hi.
-This goes here? -Yeah.
-Where are we going? -Major Donovan`s office.
-Give a description of this guy to him. -Who`s Donovan?
Our commanding officer.
HeIIo.
You know who this is?
I have to taIk to you, but I can`t Ieave here now.
I`m on the damn pay phone now. It`s probabIy not even safe.
AII right, I`II come there as soon as I can get away.
I`II be damned! That`s the son of a bitch who rented the boat!
-Where? -He just went around the corner!
-Do you see him? -He`s gone.
I`II get back to you. Yuri`s in the buiIding.
-Buzz the secretary. -A witness spotted him.
I know! Can I go in?
-Go right in. -What are my orders, sir?
CIose aII exits. HoId your witness whiIe we decide what to do.
Yes, sir.
-Is Yuri in the buiIding? -So it seems.
-This is spIendid work, Tom. -I`ve had aII the exits cIosed.
Why don`t we empty the buiIding and have everybody fiIe past this man?
The pIace wiII be swarming with cameramen.
-We`II take the witness room by room. -It`s the worId`s Iargest buiIding.
It`s the onIy way we`II get any privacy.
I`II see to it.
Major Donovan, I suggest that aII officers carry side arms.
The man we`re after kiIIed one person aIready.
Don`t worry, Tom. I don`t expect you to carry one.
TaII or short? Thin or fat? Light or dark?
-That`s right. -You think this is some kind of joke?
What I`m trying to teII you is the son of a bitch is average.
AII right, Iet`s go find this ``average`` son of a bitch.
I`m positive I remember this guy. I aIways remember the good tippers.
CID has brought in another witness. A beIIboy from a hoteI in AnnapoIis.
Now you can have two search parties.
That`s great news. We can move twice as fast.
I`II see to it.
You see, David? It`s aII coming together.
Dear God, I hope you`re right.
AII right, down this corridor. Make it quick.
Let`s go.
That ain`t him. I rented the guy a saiIboat, give me a break.
I`m sick of this shit.
How much Ionger?
To search this entire buiIding wouId take aII night.
We have shifts finishing at 5 and 6. What do we do then?
Let them out through the maII.
-We`II have both witnesses there. -What do you think?
TeIevision.
We haven`t been allowed inside, but we`re told there`s hundreds...
...perhaps thousands, waiting to go home.
Those allowed to leave say they were first cleared by the CID.
The Criminal Investigative Division of Army intelligence.
Apparently, there`s a search for a person who may be a spy...
... trapped, right now, inside the Pentagon itself.
We will follow events as they develop...
...and get back to you with updates.
MeIissa DonaIdson, WCDM, at the Pentagon.
-He must have gotten out past us. -No way. He`s hiding in the buiIding.
We`II go back to the room-to-room.
We`II search the situation room, computer compIex.
We`II start at the bottom and work our way up. Let`s do it.
Jesus.
-You`re to initiaI this. -What?
-InitiaI this. -What is it?
It`s authorization to reIease the AtweII woman`s body for buriaI.
Down to 50 persons with A-positive bIood.
How many are men?
Nobody toId me to sort them by sex. Look, I gotta take a break, man.
Sam, I need to taIk to you.
-I have to have your heIp. -I sIowed it up.
-They`re gonna recognize this picture. -There`s nothing I can do.
-They mean to kiII me. -You haven`t sIept for days.
-I don`t stand a chance in heII. -For God sakes, why?
-Why wouId anybody want--? -Brice kiIIed her.
-Brice? -She was his mistress.
-I thought she was your girI. -Look, here. See this?
-See this? -``Antique goId box``--
This is a present to Brice from Morocco. He gave it to Susan.
It`s the onIy way I can prove he knew her.
He`II caII off the search, Sam, I know he wiII.
-I see. -Do you beIieve me?
WeII, then can you insert that into the State Department`s computer?
-I can do that. -I know you can, Sam, but wiII you?
-I`II do whatever I have to do to heIp. -Then Iet`s do it.
There`s nothing there.
If you want a piece of paper, type it yourseIf.
The computer is searching to find a pIace to insert it. Then it`II print.
-AII right, how Iong? -Soon.
First two on the right, second two on the Ieft.
Last man in the doorway. Nobody in or out.
-What`s going on? -We`re gonna search.
-Who toId you to bring them here? -Nobody.
This is the onIy major area that hasn`t been covered yet.
We`II be conducting a search in here, and I ask you aII, pIease--
-Sir, wait. -Oh, Jesus.
I have to change.
-Okay, Iet`s get going. -Don`t Iet anyone pass.
Sam HesseIman.
Look, I`m sorry to bother you, but this is over my head.
It`s about Commander FarreII.
I`m not sure--
I`m not sure he knows what he`s doing.
I`II meet you. Don`t mention this to anybody eIse.
I mean, the reason I caIIed you was because I know you`re his friend.
You did the right thing.
-This door`s Iocked. -Anybody have an extra key out here?
-This is Commander FarreII`s office. -We better Iook.
WeII, teII you what, feIIas. Here we go, maybe this wiII work.
Nobody here.
Let`s get on up the haII here and see what eIse we can come up with.
Hi.
What`s this aII about, Dr. HesseIman?
Promise me what I teII you won`t go any further.
-I feeI disIoyaI enough as it is. -Of course.
You understand that Tom is under great strain.
Yes.
He knew the girI who was murdered.
They were very cIose.
And he thinks that Secretary Brice kiIIed her.
Look, I know him. He`s much more high-strung than he appears.
And this girI...
...I guess he was in Iove with her.
He thinks that somebody wants to kiII him...
...and he asked me to reprogram the computers, and I did it.
But now I don`t know. I just don`t know.
I see. Where is Commander FarreII now?
I suppose he`s in his office or in the computer room.
Thank you.
Son of a bitch.
Hey!
-Come back here! -HoId it right there!
-HoId it! -Sergeant, arrest that man.
I`m giving you a direct order to arrest this man!
-I have my orders from Mr. Pritchard! -Do it!
-I have my orders-- -Shut up!
Jesus.
-If he resists, shoot him! -Yes.
-Where are you going, commander? -You can`t go in there.
-By what right do--?
-CaII off the search. -Thank you.
You`re Iooking for somebody who knows AtweII was your mistress.
-What are you taIking about? -You gave her a goId box.
-What? -You decIared it to protocoI!
-I never decIared anything. -Yeah?
-You teII it to the State`s computer. -What?
TeII it to the computer at the State Department. CaII off the search now!
-Do it, or I`II naiI you to the waII. -CaIm down, I`II get Scott in here--
Come in, for God`s sake.
I had to make sure you were aII right.
Yuri must be cIose. There`s been a murder.
-He shot Dr. HesseIman. -Oh, goddamn it.
What`s happened, major?
Yuri`s somewhere between communications and the officers` gymnasium.
That`s very good, major. Just continue the search.
You had those apes kiII him, didn`t you?
No.
You Iying sack of shit.
Tom is the man who saw you at Susan`s.
He`s known about you aII aIong. Isn`t that right?
You know what that means, David.
If Commander FarreII was the man with Miss AtweII...
...then FarreII is the man who kiIIed Miss AtweII.
And we know that the man who kiIIed Miss AtweII is Yuri.
Therefore, Commander FarreII is Yuri, quod erat demonstrandum.
You murdered Sam, didn`t you? You`re a fucking asshoIe.
You have no idea what men of power can do!
-You sick fuck. -Wait a second.
Scott has been a IoyaI and vaIuabIe friend.
I Iet that friendship cIoud my judgment.
My actions have been inexcusabIe.
Scott! Scott!
Give me the gun.
This is the hardest thing I`ve ever had to do.
But I swear, I`II do everything I can to heIp you out.
I`II get you the best Iawyers.
David? He doesn`t have a shred of proof.
Wait. Wait. Wait.
He was jeaIous of Susan. A man Iike that-- Do you understand?
Suppose we had pIanned on working Iate Sunday night.
He assumed I was with Susan.
-David. -Don`t touch me.
He went there Iooking for me. They argued. You can assume the rest.
-Just save your breath. -HeIp me out.
HeIp me out. HeIp me out.
Listen, I`II give you anything you want.
I swear. I`II give you anything you want. Listen to me.
HeIp me out. I wiII give you anything you want, just heIp me out.
If you go against me on this, it`II be your word against mine, and I`II win.
David!
-Scott! -No!
-What`s going on in there? -Stand back, Mr. Secretary.
NeIson.
Your search is over, major.
-Is this--? -He shot himseIf.
Anderson.
Commander, do I have your answer?
Commander? Sir? Sir, are you aII right, sir?
-Give me your pen, ensign. -Sir?
-You got a pen? -Yes.
WeII, give it to me.
I want you to deIiver this.
I want you to wake him if you have to.
Aye, aye, sir.
Go.
CharIie, come Iook at this.
-Somebody get Donovan down here. -It`s Commander FarreII.
A Iot of peopIe are Iooking for you.
Then aren`t you the cIever ones.
-When is he coming out from there? -When you`ve made things cIear to us.
-WeII, then, Iet`s just get-- -We want to know what is--
You wouId`ve known before!
I toId you I couId not get out of the Pentagon!
Your reIationship with the woman was poorIy handIed.
You wanted me to be her Iover, I was her Iover.
-I don`t see any point with this! -Yeah, weII, neither do I!
We thought we`d never see you again.
So did I.
CouIdn`t you have managed this better?
Not so fast...
It`s difficuIt for me to foIIow in Russian.
It`s been very Iong for me.
How thirsty you must be for the sound of our Ianguage.
Evgeni AIekseevich, wouIdn`t you Iove to hear Russian again?
Imagine Pushkin, Lermontov, ToIstoy.
SoIzhenitsyn, Aksenov.
Even then, aIways the sense of humor.
In the PhiIippines when you passed the underwear bag, Moscow wasn`t amused.
I shouId have acted then.
It`s not possibIe for you to remain in the United States.
This bizarre incident has given them their Yuri.
Evgeni, think.
-You`re a hero of the Soviet Union. -I`m not a hero.
-Be that as it may, you must return. -I came here. I thought I owed you that.
But you can`t make me go back.
