[dramatic music]
- THE POSTER SAID, "JOIN THE ARMY.
SEE THE WORLD."
I'D JUST GRADUATED FROM COLLEGE
WITH NO FUTURE PLANS.
THE WORLD TURNED OUT TO BE THE DESERTS OF THE MIDDLE EAST.
THE PERSIAN GULF WAR HAD BEEN OVER FOR FOUR YEARS.
SO FAR, MY FIRST YEARS IN THE ARMY HAD BEEN UNEVENTFUL
UNTIL NOW.

CORPORAL JANIS MCKENZIE REPORTING.
ARE YOU CAPTAIN BEN ROGERS?
- NO, CAPTAIN ROGERS IS ON ASSIGNMENT.
I'M CARLYLE.
I SEE YOU KNOW WHO WE ARE.
- I WAS BRIEFED AT HEADQUARTERS.
- DO YOU HAVE A NICKNAME, OR WILL JANIS DO?
- JANIS WILL DO.
- THIS IS PRIVATE BERNARD SCHWARTZ.
- SCHWARTZ?
- THEY CALL ME BERNIE.
- WE'RE BRITISH SPECIAL AIR SERVICES.
WE'RE A SECRET UNIT.
WE OFTEN WORK WITH DELTA FORCE.
- I KNOW SADDAM HUSSEIN AND HIS ARMY
ARE THREATENING TO INVADE AGAIN.
BUT WHY AM I HERE?
- WELL, YOU'RE GONNA BE OUR LIAISON TO HEADQUARTERS.
GIVE HER A CLIPBOARD.
BUT IN THE MEANWHILE,
I'VE GOT SOMETHING FOR YOU TWO TO DO.
THIS IS SECTION "D." IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE DESERTED.
I WANT YOU TO GO THERE, RECONNOITER THE ENTIRE AREA,
AND BRING ME BACK A FULL RECONNAISSANCE REPORT.
GIVE HER THE M9.
[gun clicks]
NOW, YOU KEEP THAT HIDDEN.
ALL RIGHT, YOU TWO ARE DISMISSED.
- IT SOUNDED LIKE A NICE BREAK.
SURE BEAT THE TEDIUM OF A DESK AT ARMY INTELLIGENCE.
HOW COULD I KNOW TODAY WOULD CHANGE MY LIFE FOREVER?
RELAX, BERNIE.
THIS SECTOR'S DESERTED.
SERGEANT SAID SO.
- I KNOW, BUT SOMETHING JUST DOESN'T FEEL RIGHT.
WHEN YOU'RE OUT IN THE OPEN, YOU CAN'T BE TOO CAREFUL.
- DON'T WORRY.
I'LL BACK YOU UP WITH MY CLIPBOARD.
- HMM, I PREFERRED YOU HAD YOUR BERETTA LOCKED AND LOADED.
- OH, I GOT THAT TOO.
HEY, YOU STILL WANT A MERCEDES?
- [scoffs] - [chuckles]
- JANIS, SADDAM HUSSEIN HAS A VERY LARGE ARMY,
READY TO INVADE AT ANY TIME.
THIS IS SERIOUS.
- I KNOW.
TRY THE DOOR?
- UH, DON'T DO THAT.
- SAYS HERE, "AUTO REPAIR SHOP."
- [chuckles] LOOKS LIKE A JUNKYARD.
[plastic rustling]
- I DON'T THINK SO.
UH, NOW YOU'RE GONNA RELAX?
- JANIS, HOW MANY IRAQIS DOES IT TAKE
TO FIRE OFF A SCUD MISSILE?
- HOW MANY?
- THREE:
ONE TO LOAD IT,
ONE TO FIRE IT,
AND ONE TO WATCH NEWS TV TO SEE WHERE IT LANDS.
[laughing]
JANIS...
UH, THAT WAS A JOKE.
- BERNIE, THIS PLACE IS NOT DESERTED.
- WHICH COULD LEAD TO CONFLICT.
LET'S GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE.
[explosion]
- SADDAM HUSSEIN'S STILL AT THE BORDER?
- 'FRAID SO.
HE WON'T INVADE.
- THAT'S WHAT YOU YANKS SAID FOUR YEARS AGO.
STILL GOT MY DESERT STORM PATCH.
SO WHAT'S NEWS AT HEADQUARTERS, CAPTAIN?
- I SEE YOU'RE READY.
- YOU KNOW, YOU DELTA GUYS,
THE MOST SECRET WELL-TRAINED GROUP IN THE ARMY,
YET YOU WEAR CIVILIAN CLOTHES.
- WE HAVE TO SWIM IN A SEA OF PEOPLE, SERGEANT MAJOR.
- I KNOW WHO SAID THAT.
YOU JUST GIVE ME ONE LITTLE SECOND, AND I'LL--
OH, CORPORAL MCKENZIE REPORTED THIS MORNING.
NOW, SHE'S NOT A DELTA OPERATOR, IS SHE?
- NO, MILITARY INTELLIGENCE.
SHE'LL COLLECT OUR FINDINGS AND REPORT BACK TO HEADQUARTERS.
SO WHERE-- WHERE IS CORPORAL MCKENZIE?
- SENT HER AND SCHWARTZ OVER TO "D" SECTION,
THE DESERTED SECTION.
- YOU DID WHAT?
THAT'S WHY I WAS AT HEADQUARTERS.
TERRORISTS ARE MOVING INTO THAT AREA RIGHT NOW.
- BETTER GET OVER THERE.
- HE'S GOING TO A DRUG PROGRAM. THAT'S IT.
- NO! - YES, YOU ARE.
- YOUR FATHER GOES TO WORK EVERY DAY TO EARN THIS PLACE,
AND YOU JUST GO AND THROW YOUR LIFE AWAY!
- GET OFF OF MY CASE.
- YOU'RE GOING TO DRUG TREATMENT,
AND THAT'S IT.
- SHUT UP.
I'M GOING TO KILL YOU.
I'M GOING TO KILL BOTH OF YOU.
- BERNIE...
BERNIE...
- JANIS, JANIS, I CAN'T SEE.

- MCKENZIE, SCHWARTZ, AND A PILE OF DEAD TERRORISTS.
- JANIS, JANIS, JANIS!
HEY, OKAY, IT'S OKAY.
IT'S OKAY. IT'S OKAY.
- JANIS, HEY...

- I SHOULDN'T TIRE YOU.
I JUST CAME BY TO GIVE YOU A BIG HUG.

- MM-HMM. - UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA.
YOU MAJORED IN... YOU DIDN'T FILL IN THE BLANK.
- OH, ENGLISH. - ENGLISH.
POPULAR IN SCHOOL?
JANIS, I'M NOT A DENTIST.
IT IS NOT MY HABIT TO PRY INFORMATION OUT OF A PATIENT.
IF I'M TO HELP YOU, YOU HAVE TO HELP ME.
IS THAT UNDERSTOOD?
- YES.
- GOOD.
NOW, JANIS, WERE YOU POPULAR IN SCHOOL?
- MY BROTHER MURDERED OUR PARENTS.
- YOU'RE DEAD, JANIS.
- WHAT DO YOU THINK?
- COME ON, MCKENZIE. YOU'RE DRAGGING.
- WHAT ARE MY CHANCES?
- PAROLE? [chuckles]
NOT GOOD.
HOW LONG?
- HOW LONG FOR WHAT?
- HOW LONG YOU BEEN IN PRISON, SMART-ASS?
- SINCE YOU PUT IT THAT WAY, NONE OF YOUR DAMN BUSINESS.
- LET'S GO, SIT DOWN.
[telephone ringing]
GOT JAMEY MCKENZIE HERE FOR A PAROLE HEARING.
[telephone continues ringing]
- WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT?
I'M TALKING TO YOU.
- HEY, HEY, NONE OF THAT.

AND YOU GUYS WILL NEVER GET OUT OF HERE.
- MCKENZIE, THEY'RE READY FOR YOU.
- LET'S GO.
- YOUR BROTHER, JAMEY MCKENZIE,
WHERE IS HE NOW?
- PRISON.
- ONE MOMENT, PLEASE.
CAROL AND I WENT TO CHINA TWO YEARS AGO.
THAT'S QUAN YIN, GODDESS OF WISDOM AND MERCY.
SOMETIMES I THINK OF CAROL AS QUAN YIN.
[chuckles]
- CAROL SAID YOU HELPED HER.
- SHE DID? WHAT DID SHE SAY?
- JUST THAT YOU HELPED HER OUT OF A BAD TIME.
- HMM, WELL, ANYTHING ELSE, YOU GET FROM HER.
- DOCTOR-PATIENT PRIVACY?
- SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
YOUR BROTHER IS UP FOR PAROLE.
DID YOU KNOW THAT?
- HOW DID YOU KNOW?
- I CHECKED, JUST NOW.
ARE YOU IN CONTACT WITH HIM?
- ALL THE TIME.
- REALLY? THAT'S SURPRISING.
- NOT IN THE WAY YOU THINK.
YOU SEE, WE'RE TWINS.
SOMETIMES, I JUST KNOW WHAT HE'S THINKING.
- WHAT IS HE THINKING?
- JANIS, I'M GONNA KILL YOU.
- I STILL DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY HE WANTS TO KILL YOU.
- MY TESTIMONY SENT HIM TO JAIL.
- WELL, THAT WOULD'VE HAPPENED ANYWAY.
- HE DOESN'T SEE IT THAT WAY.
- DO YOU DREAM AT NIGHT?
- NIGHTMARES.
- DO THEY CONCERN YOUR BROTHER?
- I GET THESE ABOUT ONCE A MONTH.
JAMEY KILLED MY PARENTS--
- WITH A BUTCHER KNIFE.
- AND HE'LL TRY AND KILL ME WITH THE SAME WEAPON.
- WHAT ABOUT THE TRUCK?
WAS JAMEY INVOLVED IN THAT?
- WARNINGS.
YOU SEE, JAMEY THINKS HE'S MESSING WITH MY HEAD,
BUT HE'S NOT,
'CAUSE I KNOW HE WANTS TO KILL ME HIMSELF.
[telephone ringing]
- I DON'T THINK HE LIKES YOU.
HOW MUCH TIME YOU DOING?
- 20 YEARS.
- DAMN, BOY, WHAT'D YOU DO?
- I SLICED, DICED, AND FILLETED MY PARENTS WITH A BUTCHER KNIFE.
WHAT DID YOU DO?
- STOLE A CAR.
- SO HE SENDS YOU THESE THINGS ONCE A MONTH.
MAY I KEEP THIS?
- HOW MANY DO YOU WANT?
I HAVE A WHOLE BOX FULL OF 'EM.
- ONE IS SUFFICIENT.
GET TO KNOW CAROL.
DON'T LET THAT TEXAS BRAVADO FOOL YOU.
SHE HAS A WAY OF RECOGNIZING PEOPLE WHO NEED HELP.
- BECAUSE I'M DIFFERENT?
- DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DIFFERENT?
- YEAH.
- NO, YOU'RE NOT DIFFERENT.
THE WORLD IS FULL OF PEOPLE LIKE YOU.
AS A CHILD, YOU EXPERIENCED A HORRIBLE TRAGEDY.
YOU LACKED THE EMOTIONAL MATURITY TO DEAL WITH IT.
CONSEQUENTLY, YOU BECAME AN EMOTIONAL VICTIM.
- I WILL NOT BE A VICTIM.
- AND WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO?
TOSS JAMEY OUT OF A WINDOW?
- SINCE I WAS 16 YEARS OLD,
I'VE KNOWN MY BROTHER WOULD COME FOR ME.
I'M READY.
- JANIS, DO YOU LIKE YOURSELF?
DO YOU WANT TO CHANGE?
WOULD YOU CHANGE?
- I LIVE WITH DEMONS, DOCTOR.
NIGHTMARES AT NIGHT,
SINISTER SHADOWS BY DAY.
YEAH, I WOULD LIKE FOR THAT TO CHANGE.
BUT HOW DO YOU GET RID OF DEMONS?
- YOU DON'T FEED THEM.
[telephone ringing]
EXCUSE ME.
[telephone ringing]
HELLO?
CAROL, YES, MM-HMM.
SHE'S RIGHT HERE.
GOOD, MM-HMM, OKAY, YEAH, BYE.
THAT WAS CAROL.
THIS IS YOUR PRESCRIPTION.

- TAKE THIS.
[sighs]
- OKAY.
I'LL SEE YOU SOON, DOCTOR.
- OKAY.
- HEY, I DIDN'T THINK YOU'D COME.

TALK TO ME.
- I KILLED A MAN.
- WHY? WHAT DID HE DO TO YOU?
- HE CAME AT ME WITH A BUTCHER KNIFE.
- WHAT MAKES YOU THINK YOU KILLED HIM?
- WHEN HE CAME AT ME,
I THREW HIM AGAINST THE WALL,
AND THEN EVERYTHING WENT BLACK.
- ARE YOU SURE HE'S DEAD?
- WHEN I WOKE UP,
HE HAD A BUTCHER KNIFE STICKING OUT OF HIS CHEST,
AND THERE WAS BLOOD ON THE FLOOR.
I PANICKED, AND I JUST RAN.
- WE NEED HELP.
HEY!
- YOU CALLED THE COPS?
- HE'S A FRIEND.
HE AND CAROL WERE IN LOVE ONCE.
THEY BROKE UP OVER SOMETHING SILLY
LIKE HIM STEPPING ON HER FEET WHEN THEY DANCED.
I TOLD CAROL SHE WAS BEING STUPID.
- HEY. - HI.
- YOU LOOK MARVELOUS, DARLING, SIMPLY MARVELOUS.
- EASY, FRED ASTAIRE. WHAT WOULD CAROL THINK?

- OH, YEAH, THE CLOWN LYING THERE IN THE POOL OF BLOOD...
YOU BET SHE BOUGHT IT.
SHE RAN OUT OF THAT CIRCUS TENT LIKE AN OLYMPIC SPRINTER.
[chuckles]
- SHE KNEW IT WAS A BIRTHDAY GIFT
FROM HER BROTHER?
- OH--OH, YEAH, YEAH, WHEN SHE WOKE UP, MAN,
I MEAN, LIKE, WOW, SHE FREAKED.

ONE BIG CIRCUS SURPRISE.
GREAT HAUNTED HOUSE, HUH?
FAKE BUTCHER KNIFE AND ALL?

YOU SURE WE'RE IN THE RIGHT PLACE?
- YES. - OKAY.
WELL, LET'S GO THROUGH IT AGAIN.
YOU CAME THROUGH THAT DOOR,
TOOK A FEW PICTURES,

TELL ME THAT PART.

THIS IS HER BOAT.
THEY ALMOST GOT YOU BY MISTAKE.
- I THINK IT'S TIME I TOLD YOU GUYS ABOUT MY BROTHER.
[sirens wailing]
- OKAY, THAT ONE RIGHT THERE.
OKAY.
OKAY, LOOK, I'VE TRIED THIS FIVE TIMES.
I DON'T GET IT.
- THAT'S BECAUSE...
- [chuckles] AMAZING.
YOU KNOW, I THINK I'VE SEEN THIS BEFORE.
YOUR TIME IN PRISON WASN'T TOTALLY SQUANDERED, WAS IT?
- JAMEY MCKENZIE INTRODUCED ME TO THIS GUY,
COST ME 300 BIG ONES.
- AND YOU LEARNED THIS TRICK?
- NO, I LOST $300 GAMBLING.
HE SHOULDN'T HAVE LAUGHED AT ME, THOUGH.
I SLAMMED HIS FACE AGAINST THE WALL
AND MADE HIM TEACH ME.
- [chuckles] WELL, A WORTHWHILE INVESTMENT,
IF I SAY SO MYSELF.
THOUGH WITH WHAT JAMEY MCKENZIE'S
GONNA BE PAYING US,
THIS SHOULD BE A SIGNIFICANT INCREASE
IN OUR REVENUE STREAM.
- REVENUE STREAM?
- LET ME WORRY ABOUT THAT.
[knock at door]
GET THE DOOR.
WHOA, WHOA,
WHOA, WHOA, WHOA, WHOA, WHOA!
- AH, COULDN'T HELP IT, BOSS.
- SHE HIT ME IN THE BALLS.
- WITH AN UMBRELLA!
WITH A STUPID LITTLE UMBRELLA.
- ACTUALLY, IT WAS QUITE LARGE.
- SHUT UP!
YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO SCARE JANIS.
- AHH...
- NOT MAKE HER LAUGH.
[camera clicking]
- CORPORAL MCKENZIE.
- CAPTAIN ROGERS?
- COLONEL ROGERS. I'VE BEEN PROMOTED.
- CONGRATULATIONS, COLONEL.
IT'S GOOD TO SEE YOU.
- IT'S REALLY GOOD TO SEE YOU.
I WASN'T SURE YOU'D WANT TO SEE ME.
- FOUR MONTHS IN THAT ARMY HOSPITAL--
YOU WERE THE ONLY ONE WHO CARED.
- WE ALL WORRIED YOU MIGHT NOT MAKE IT.
- YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY. I'M TOUGH.
- [chuckles] YOU HAVEN'T CHANGED A BIT.
- I WANT YOU TO LISTEN CAREFULLY,
BECAUSE THIS IS VERY SIMPLE.
YOU GOT THE CHLOROFORM?
- UH-HUH.
- YEAH? GOOD.
YOU'RE GONNA GO TO THE MARINA.
YOU'RE GONNA WAIT FOR JANIS.
YOU'RE GONNA GRAB HER.
YOU'RE GONNA CHLOROFORM HER.
YOU'RE GONNA TIE HER UP,
AND YOU'RE GONNA WAIT FOR ME TO GET THERE.
YOU THINK YOU CAN DO THAT, GUYS?
- SURE, WE CAN DO THAT.
- ARE YOU SURE YOU CAN DO THAT?
- YES. - YEAH?
GOOD.
- DON'T MESS THIS UP.
- GOT IT.
- SO HOW DID YOU KNOW WHERE TO FIND ME?
- YOUR FRIEND CAROL DODD TOLD ME YOU WERE DOING A PHOTO SHOOT
AT JUNGLE GARDEN.
- INTERESTING.
AN ARMY COLONEL, INTELLIGENCE BRANCH--
YOU ARE STILL INTELLIGENCE, RIGHT?
- RIGHT.
- WHO JUST HAPPENS TO PASS THROUGH
A COZY FLORIDA BEACH TOWN AND RUNS INTO AN OLD FRIEND
AT THE JUNGLE GARDENS?
COME ON.
WHAT GIVES, COLONEL?
- [sighs] TEN YEARS AGO,
YOU HAD A SHOOT-OUT WITH FIVE TERRORISTS
ON A BACK STREET IN KUWAIT.
- AND A YOUNG AMERICAN PRIVATE WAS KILLED.
- MM-HMM, PRIVATE BERNARD SCHWARTZ.
- BERNIE WAS A GOOD KID.
- YES, HE WAS.
GRAY'S REGISTRATION FOUND FOUR DEAD TERRORISTS, NOT FIVE.
COULD WE HAVE MISCOUNTED?
- NO, I DON'T THINK SO.
- SCHWARTZ'S IDENTIFICATION DISAPPEARED.
FOR A LONG TIME, HE WAS LISTED AS MISSING IN ACTION.
- SO WHAT DOES THAT MATTER?
- IT MATTERED.
SCHWARTZ RECENTLY ENTERED THE UNITED STATES,
OR SOMEBODY WHO CLAIMS TO BE BERNARD SCHWARTZ.
- FORGED PASSPORT?
WHERE IS HE NOW?
- WELL, WE TRAILED HIM FROM KUWAIT TO FLORIDA.
APPARENTLY, HE CHANGED HIS APPEARANCE
BEFORE HE DISEMBARKED IN MIAMI.
WE LOST HIM.
- THAT'S TWICE YOU'VE SAID "WE."
- DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY.
- HOMELAND SECURITY?
- JANIS, THIS MAN, HE'S SWORN TO KILL YOU.
- HOW DO YOU KNOW?
- WE HAVE INFORMANTS.
DO YOU REMEMBER SERGEANT BRONSON?
- YEAH, OF COURSE. HE WAS YOUR SERGEANT IN KUWAIT.
- YES.
KADIR MURDERED HIM THREE YEARS AGO.
HE BLAMES YOU AND BRONSON FOR THE DEATHS OF HIS RELATIVES.
JANIS, THIS MAN IS COMING TO KILL YOU.
- WELL, TELL HIM TO GET IN LINE.
- YOU'RE MY LAST APPOINTMENT. COME ON.
LET'S GET A DRINK.
[soda can fizzing]
[liquid pouring]
- A SODA?
MARIE...
- IT'S BEFORE 5:00.
I SPOKE TO CAROL.
SHE SEEMS TO HAVE RECOVERED.
JANIS? DON'T DO THIS TO ME.
OH, DON'T GIVE ME THIS
"I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN" LOOK.
- I'M SORRY, MY MIND--
IT'S JUST SOMEWHERE ELSE RIGHT NOW.
- JAMEY WAS RELEASED FROM PRISON YESTERDAY.
DID YOU KNOW THAT?
WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO?
- I'M GONNA WAIT.
- YOU'RE GONNA WAIT FOR JAMEY?
JANIS, JAMEY IS A KILLER.
- SO AM I.
- IS THERE SOMETHING YOU NEED TO TELL ME?
- I'M BEING FOLLOWED,
AND IT'S NOT JAMEY.
[seagulls squawking]
[camera clicking]
- CAN I SEE?
- SURE.
- SORRY, DID I FRIGHTEN YOU?
- NO. I KNEW YOU WERE THERE.
- BRILLIANT.
IT'S EXACTLY WHAT I WANT FOR THE BOOK.
- GOOD.
- WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE?
- I'LL MEET YOU OVER AT THE STATUE.
- WHO'S YOUR FRIENDS?
- IT'S LIKE A VIGNETTE
FROM THE END OF WORLD WAR II.
PRETTY IMPRESSIVE, HUH?
WAR'S OVER. EVERYBODY'S HAPPY.
- JANIS.
- CAROL, WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
- I'M ON THE COMMITTEE TO KEEP THIS IN SARASOTA.
- GOOD LUCK ON THAT. I LOVE IT.
- OH, HEY, THIS IS ROD BARRETT. HE'S MY NEW CLIENT.
HE'S DOING A BOOK ON SARASOTA.
HE'S GONNA USE MY PICTURES.
- GOOD TO MEET YOU, ROD.
I GOT TO FINISH THIS CALL. I'LL CATCH UP WITH YOU LATER.
- OKAY, BYE.
- NICE LADY. - YEAH.
- OH, YEAH, GREAT STUFF.
WHAT'S NEXT?
- THE CATS.
- JUST TELL IT TO THE JUDGE TOMORROW, RELAX.
[cell phone ringing]
- YEAH?
- ABE, WHERE ARE YOU?
- I'M AT THE POLICE HEADQUARTERS.
I'M WAITING ON A FAX.
- WE WERE SUPPOSED TO HAVE LUNCH.
- I KNOW. I--I CAN'T.
I'M WAITING ON...
WELL, YOU KNOW, SOMETHING REALLY IMPORTANT.
- ABE? WHAT'S GOING ON?
- ALL RIGHT.
I THINK JANIS IS INTO SOME TROUBLE.
THERE'S A TERRORIST COMING IN FROM KUWAIT TO KILL HER.
LOOK, I'LL EXPLAIN MORE LATER.
JUST DON'T BREATHE A WORD OF THIS TO ANYBODY.
HOMELAND SECURITY THINKS HE'S ALREADY HERE.
- I UNDERSTAND.
KUWAIT.
[lion roaring]
- YOU'RE RATHER QUIET, AREN'T YOU?
[lion roaring]
ARE YOU ALWAYS LIKE THIS?
MOST WOMEN BY NOW HAVE A MILLION QUESTIONS.
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?
LIKE, WHAT DO YOU DO?
[camera clicking]
WHERE ARE YOU FROM?
ARE YOU MARRIED?
- YOU'RE A WRITER.
YOU'RE FROM ANOTHER COUNTRY.
AND YOU'RE NOT MARRIED.
- VERY GOOD.
PERFECT, IN FACT.
YES TO WRITER, BUT YOU ALREADY KNEW THAT.
YES, FROM ANOTHER COUNTRY, AND...
YES TO NOT BEING MARRIED.
[tiger growling]
HOW DID YOU KNOW I WASN'T MARRIED?
- NO RING.
- [chuckles] WE MATCH.
HOW ABOUT DINNER?
- I ALREADY HAVE A DINNER DATE.
HEY, BOOMER. - HI, JANIS.
- YOU'RE ALWAYS POLISHING MUGS.
- OH, THE LAGER LOVERS CLUB.
GOT TO TAKE CARE OF THE MEMBERS, YOU KNOW.
- [chuckles]
- I'M A MEMBER TOO.
- REALLY? OH, "BOOMER."
- MM-HMM.
- THAT'S QUITE A NAME FOR A BARTENDER.
- HEY, I WASN'T ALWAYS A BARTENDER.
WAS A TIME WHEN I WAS A PROFESSIONAL BASEBALL PLAYER,
HOT PROSPECT,
USED TO HIT THE LONG BALL, YOU KNOW?
OUT OF THE PARK.
THAT'S WHY I GOT THE NAME, BOOMER.
- SO WHY'D YOU QUIT?
- PITCHERS FOUND OUT I COULDN'T HIT A CURVE BALL.
- SHE'S AT THE BAR...
TALKING TO THE BARTENDER.
- TALKING?
JANIS THE MUTE?
WELL, THAT WON'T LAST LONG.
- I'VE GOT THE CHLOROFORM.
- YOU KNOW WHAT I TOLD YOU TO DO,
YOU NEED TO DO IT QUICK.
WHEN SHE COMES DOWN THE LADDER-- - I GOT IT.
- UNDERSTAND? - I GOT IT.
IF I MISS, SHE'LL KICK MY ASS.
- DAMN RIGHT, SHE'LL KICK YOUR ASS, COME ON.
COME ON, WE GOT TO GET TO THE BOAT BEFORE JANIS DOES.
- MR. ROGERS.
- HI, BOOMER.
HEY, SWEETIE. - HEY.
- HEY, BOOMER, HOW ABOUT A BOTTLE OF PINOT NOIR?
- COMING RIGHT UP.
- ALL RIGHT.
[telephone ringing]
- ABE, GO HOME.
ARREST SOMEBODY.
STOP LOITERING BY THE FAX MACHINE.
HEY, LISTEN, IF THE FAX COMES IN,
I'LL CALL YOU.
- DO YOU STILL HATE ME?
- I NEVER HATED YOU.
- YOU SHOULD HAVE.
- I JUST DIDN'T UNDERSTAND.
I THOUGHT WE WERE IN LOVE.
- WE WERE.
I STILL AM.
I BOUGHT AN ENGAGEMENT RING WHEN YOU WERE IN THE HOSPITAL.
- REALLY?
WELL, I HOPE YOU GOT A FULL REFUND.
- THAT SAME NIGHT,
TWO MEN IN SUITS CAME TO MY DOOR.
THEY SAID...
- EMILIO VARGAS?
YOU HAVE 30 MINUTES TO PACK.
- HE HAD THE WRONG PERSON.
- NO.
MY SUPERIORS CREATED A NEW IDENTITY FOR ME.
I WAS GOING UNDERCOVER IN A NEW COUNTRY.
- WHY YOU?
- NO FAMILY, FLUENT IN SPANISH,
AND I WAS TRAINED.
- [sighs]
SO WHY DIDN'T YOU CALL ME?
- NO COMMUNICATIONS ALLOWED...
WITH ANYBODY.
THEN JUST AS I WAS TO COME HOME,
I WAS DISCOVERED.
MY CAPTORS DIDN'T TAKE KINDLY TO MY DECEPTION.
THEY TORTURED ME FOR THREE YEARS.
WHEN I ESCAPED,
I HID OUT IN THE JUNGLE FOR THREE MORE YEARS.
I WAS IN PRETTY BAD SHAPE WHEN I FINALLY GOT RESCUED.
AND THE ONLY THING THAT KEPT ME ALIVE WAS THINKING ABOUT YOU.
I DIDN'T GET A REFUND.
I'VE NEVER STOPPED LOVING YOU.
I MISSED YOU.
- I LOVE YOU.
[moaning]
[birds chirping]
- GOOD MORNING.
YOU'RE REALLY HERE.
- I HAVE TO GO.
- NO, DON'T GO, JANIS. DON'T GO.
- I JUST HAVE TO GET A COUPLE THINGS FROM MY BOAT.
AND THEN I'LL BE BACK.
[pen tapping]
- YOU CAN'T STILL BE ON DUTY.
- DOES IT LOOK LIKE I'M STILL ON DUTY?
- THIS WHO YOU'VE BEEN WAITING FOR?
WHO'S THIS GUY?
- HE'S A TERRORIST.
AND HE MAY BE IN SARASOTA.
- SON OF A BITCH.
MAX!
WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?
- WHERE IS SHE? IS SHE HERE?
- SHE'S NOT HERE. - AHH...
- GET OUT OF HERE. - HEY, DAMN.
- WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH YOU? - WHERE'S SHE AT?
OW.
- FOR CRYING OUT LOUD...
- HEY, SWEETIE. JUST PULLED UP.
OKAY, I'LL BE UP IN JUST A COUPLE MINUTES, ALL RIGHT?
YEAH, RIGHT, SWEETHEART, I GOT TO GO, BYE.
HEY, BUDDY...
- OH!
- I KNOW WHO YOU ARE, THINKING YOU'RE GONNA COME INTO MY TOWN.
BUT YOU GOT THE WRONG TOWN.
- DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHO YOU'RE DEALING WITH HERE?
- OH, SAVE IT.
- THANKS, PAL.
- THE PLAN WAS SO SIMPLE.
I WANTED JANIS TO SUFFER.
I WANTED TO INTIMIDATE HER.
I WANTED TO SCARE HER.
THEN WHAT HAPPENS?
YOU GUYS MAKE LIKE THE THREE STOOGES.
- BUT THERE'S ONLY TWO OF US.
- WHAT?
- WELL, THERE'S THREE STOOGES, AND DAD AND I--
WE'RE, LIKE, TWO.
- SHUT UP, MAX. JUST SHUT UP.
JAMEY IS QUITE RIGHT.
PERHAPS WE SHOULD'VE PLANNED A MORE VIABLE LINE OF ATTACK.
- WHAT IF JANIS HAS AN ACCIDENT?
- WHAT DID YOU SAY?
- WHAT IF... JANIS HAS AN ACCIDENT?
- JANIS HAS AN ACCIDENT.
JANIS HAS AN ACCIDENT.
- JANIS HAS AN ACCIDENT.
- THAT'S NOT BAD FOR A HALF-WIT.
- THANKS, BOSS.
- I LIKE IT.
[lock clinking]
[door squeaking]
- HELLO, SISTER DEAR.
- HEY, ABE.
HEY, YOU ONLY GOT HALF THE FAX LAST NIGHT.
YEAH, AND COLONEL ROGERS NEVER SHOWED EITHER.
- WHO'S COLONEL ROGERS?
- HOMELAND SECURITY.
HE'S LOOKING FOR THE SAME GUY YOU ARE.
THAT WAS HIS PICTURE YOU TOOK LAST NIGHT.
- SHIT.
- JAMEY.
- LAST ONE, SISTER DEAR.
- UH!
UNF...
- SHH...
- WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
[camera clicking]
- YOU COULD'VE WALKED AWAY THAT DAY.
YOU COULD'VE SAID,
"I SAW NOTHING," BUT NO.
YOU HAD TO TELL, DIDN'T YOU?
- YOU KILLED OUR PARENTS, JAMEY.
- COULDN'T LET YOU LEAVE THIS WORLD WITHOUT SAYING GOOD-BYE.
SAY HI TO MOM AND DAD FOR ME.
BYE-BYE, SISTER DEAR.
[door sliding]
- JAMEY, COME ON.
JAMEY.
[telephone ringing]
- LET'S GET THOSE OFF YOU.
SORRY ABOUT EVERYTHING HAPPENING LIKE THIS.
IT WAS NOT MY INTENTION...
TO BRING IN AN INNOCENT MAN.
[clears throat]
- AND WHACK ME OVER THE HEAD?
- OKAY, HERE'S WHAT HAPPENED.
- EXCUSE ME, SIR,
DID YOU SEE A BOAT LEAVE THIS SLIP?
- WELL, YEAH, ABOUT MIDNIGHT.
TWO UGLY DUDES COULDN'T GET IT STARTED AT FIRST.
THEY HAD TO CALL IN A THIRD GUY.
- DID THEY SAY WHERE THEY WERE GOING?
- YEAH, THIS JAMEY DUDE TOLD THEM TO TAKE IT STRAIGHT OUT.
- JAMEY?
ONE OF THEIR NAMES WAS JAMEY MCKENZIE?
- WELL, YEAH, THAT'S WHAT ONE OF THE UGLY DUDES KEPT CALLING HIM.
- DID YOU SEE A PRETTY BLONDE GIRL?
- OH, YEAH.
[cell phone buttons beeping]
- IT'S OKAY, YOU'RE PROTECTING JANIS, RIGHT?
[cell phone ringing] - THAT'S RIGHT.
- GOOD, GOOD.
NOW, HEY, JUST GET ME OUT OF HERE.
- CAROL? - ABE.
ABE, LISTEN TO ME.
JANIS HAS BEEN KIDNAPPED.
- WHAT? - SOME GUY NAMED JAMEY MCKENZIE.
YES, HE SAID HIS NAME WAS JAMEY.
- YOU SURE IT'S JAMEY MCKENZIE?
- I'M SURE. I'LL GET A BOAT.
JUST MEET ME AT THE MARINA.
- ALL RIGHT, WE'LL BE RIGHT THERE.
[engine turning over] - COME ON.
JUST GO STRAIGHT OUT.
[engine revving]
I DON'T SEE ANYTHING.
- WE CAN'T GIVE UP NOW.
- WE WON'T GIVE UP.
- MOTOR VESSEL ANTICIPATION WITH COLONEL ROGERS ON BOARD.
THIS IS C.M. AT SARASOTA MARINA.
- THIS IS COLONEL ROGERS.
- ROGER, CAPTAIN.
TWO MEN IN A SMALL BOAT REPORTED AS SEEING A SAILBOAT SINK
APPROXIMATELY 30 MILES WEST OF BIG PASS.
DO YOU HAVE ANY FURTHER INFORMATION?
- DID THEY HELP?
- GOOD COPY, CAPTAIN. I DON'T THINK SO.
THEY WERE TOO FAR AWAY.
THE TRANSMISSION CAME IN VERY BROKEN AND UNREADABLE.
- SURVIVORS, ANY SURVIVORS?
- NO, I--I DON'T THINK SO.
[radio static hissing]
- NO!
- YOU KNOW, I WAS BEGINNING TO THINK
I MADE A MISTAKE HIRING YOU TWO GUYS.
BUT AS SOMEONE ONCE SAID,
"ALL'S WELL THAT ENDS WELL."
[laughter]
- IT WAS... IT WAS SHAKESPEARE.
- WHAT WAS SHAKESPEARE?
- WHAT YOU SAID,
IT WAS A PLAY WRITTEN BY WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE.
[bottles clinking]
[helicopter blades whirring]
[engine revving]
- [snaps]
- FLORIDA SUNCOAST HELICOPTERS DISCOVERED A SINKING YACHT
SOME 30 MILES OFFSHORE FROM SIESTA KEY.
THE HELICOPTER PILOT REPORTED
THAT WHEN HE WENT IN CLOSE TO INVESTIGATE,
HE DISCOVERED A WOMAN IN THE WATER.
CIRCUMSTANCES AS TO THE SINKING OF THE YACHT
ARE UNCLEAR AT THIS TIME.
THE WOMAN'S NAME
AND WHY SHE WAS ALONE ON THE YACHT ARE UNKNOWN.
[cameras clicking]
POLICE INVESTIGATING-- [table clattering]
AND NOW, LOCAL NEW--
- JAMEY MCKENZIE TRIED TO KILL JANIS.
HE PUT A HOLE IN HER BOAT AND EXPECTED HER TO DROWN.
HERE'S JAMEY'S PICTURE.
- NASTY-LOOKING AS HOMEMADE SIN.
WATCH OUT FOR THAT CREEP.
- I WISH IT WERE THAT SIMPLE.
THERE'S A SECOND MAN TRYING TO KILL JANIS.
JANIS.
- IT HAPPENED DURING THE GULF WAR.
KUWAIT,
1994.
- YOU WERE IN THE GULF WAR?
- YEP, CORPORAL JANIS MCKENZIE.
BEN WAS MY COMMANDING OFFICER.
- JANIS WAS IN A FIREFIGHT WITH A TERRORIST NAMED KADIR
AND FOUR RELATIVES.
ALL DIED EXCEPT KADIR.
- AND NOW HE'S HERE IN THE UNITED STATES
UNDER A FORGED PASSPORT GOING BY THE NAME OF BERNARD SCHWARTZ.
- FAKE DATES, FAKE PICTURE.
- WHAT DOES HE LOOK LIKE?
- DARK SKIN, BEARD, BROWN EYES.
- THAT WAS TEN YEARS AGO.
HE'S A MASTER OF DISGUISES.
THANKS TO A HIDDEN CAMERA IN MIAMI,
WE KNOW WHAT HE LOOKS LIKE NOW.
- OH, MY GOD.
JANIS, ISN'T THIS...
- THAT'S ROD BARRETT.
- YOU KNOW HIM?
- YEAH, ALIAS "KADIR."
- JANIS, YOU SPENT LAST WEEK WITH THAT MAN.
WHY DIDN'T HE KILL YOU THEN?
- I DON'T KNOW.
- THE CAT PLAYING WITH HIS PREY.
- DO ANY OF YOU HAVE GUNS?
- I DO, AND I KNOW HOW TO USE IT.
- WELL, I DON'T.
ABE. - CAROL, NO.
YOU'RE GONNA END UP GETTING YOURSELF SHOT.
WE'RE GONNA BE TAKING CARE OF IT.
FEDERAL AGENTS ARE COMING IN TOMORROW.
RIGHT, BEN? - THAT'S RIGHT.
- WE ALREADY ARRESTED THE CRASS BROTHERS YESTERDAY.
THEY WERE TRYING TO ROB
A CONVENIENCE STORE OR SOMETHING.
BUT YOUR BROTHER IS STILL AT LARGE.
- FINE.
MEANWHILE, WE ALL NEED TO STAY CLOSE TO JANIS.
- JANIS, DO YOU HEAR THAT?
YOU'VE GOT FRIENDS THAT WILL STICK BY YOU.
- NO, THIS IS SOMETHING I DID.
ME.
I NEED TO DISAPPEAR.
- JANIS, BE REASONABLE.
SOONER OR LATER, AND PROBABLY SOONER,
ONE OF THESE MONSTERS IS GONNA COME AND FIND YOU.
- I SAID NO.
YOU'RE GONNA GET HURT, SO JUST STAY AWAY FROM ME,
ALL OF YOU.
- NO, JANIS, YOU ARE NOT GONNA DO THIS.
EVIL ONLY WINS WHEN GOOD PEOPLE DO NOTHING ABOUT IT.
- AND WE'RE NOT GONNA LET THAT HAPPEN.
- COME ON, WE'LL WALK YOU HOME.
- IT'S OKAY.
I HAVE MY BIG STRONG SOLDIER TO PROTECT ME.
IT'S BEEN QUITE A DAY.
THANKS. - DON'T LEAVE HER SIDE.
- I WON'T.
- GET SOME REST. - I WILL.
- YOU, COME HERE. - HELLO.
[gunshots]
- [groans]
OH, GOD. - WHAT?
- YOU'VE BEEN HIT.
- WHOA. [gunshot]
- YOU GOT A GUN? - MY LEFT LEG.
- I LOVE YOU. - I LOVE YOU.
[slow gunshots]
- WE MEET AGAIN.
DROP THE GUN.
TOO BAD THIS HAS TO END.
WHEN WE WERE OUT AT THE BIG CAT HABITAT,
I THOUGHT YOU WERE BEGINNING TO LIKE ME.
- I LIKED YOU BETTER WHEN YOU WERE DEAD IN KUWAIT.
- WELL, MY FAMILY YOU KILLED.
[gunshot]
[gunshots]
- SISTER DEAR.
I HEAR YOU'RE AN EXPERT AT MARTIAL ARTS.
LET'S JUST SEE HOW GOOD YOU ARE.
[guns clattering]
- HUH!
UH!
UGH!
HA!
- UH-- - AH!
- [screaming]
- IT'S ALL OVER, LOVERBOY.
- DON'T HURT HIM, JAMEY.
- YOU WOULDN'T SHOOT YOUR BROTHER.
[gunshot]
- ARE YOU OKAY?
- YOU GUYS OKAY? - YEAH.
- JANIS, MY GOD, WHAT HAPPENED?
- CLOSURE.
