Let's go! TENSE MUSIC Put your clothes on them. Move! Yes, there's been a murder at 232 Alton Drive. Send the police. What are you doing? They killed you then they turned on each other. Right. Those sons of bitches. POLICE SIRENS APPROACH Shit! Don't worry. This doesn't work without an audience. DRAMATIC MUSIC Outside. Let's go. TYRES SQUEAL SIRENS BLARE Thank you. Thank you, man. Anything you ever need. Anything! You just ask me. You endangered your life and US marshals' lives assigned to protect you. What? You were spotted at a restaurant. In your old neighbourhood. De Niro's? Johnny, what are you, stupid? It's the osso buco. I haven't had a decent meal in six months. I was dying. The next time you're dead. This only happens once. Get out. What are you doing? That was our ride. CAR ENGINE STARTS Let's go. Come on. You'll never see me again but I'll know your every move. Use your head, lie low and no one will hurt you. Try to skip out on your testimony, I deliver you to the Canelli family myself. I promise. Listen, man. I owe you big time. I'm a stand-up guy. You got it?

DOOR BUZZER Hey, John, would you look at something? One of these is from our shop and the others are real. What do you think? That's the fake. Who the hell was that? I'd tell you but I'd have to kill you. Shut up and run this again. COMPUTER BEEPS TENSE MUSIC And so, with a little sleight of hand, one very dead John Doe trades places with one very live scumbag. Robert, sit down. John, you know... ..if God was as forgiving as Witsec, hell would be one empty joint, no? God doesn't have our court system. So, uh, I understand you had a busy night. Couple of witnesses got careless. I see. I had to defuse the situation. Did that...did that include breaking into the county morgue? Oh, someone once taught me that improvisation is the heart of fieldwork. I think it was you. Those were the old days. You know, the weather's changed. Now you've got every asshole in Congress down our backs. I'm just telling you to walk softly, John. Is that why Beller called me in? Because of the morgue? Oh, no. No, man. No. The old man doesn't know anything about that and personally, I don't think he has to. Shadow Ops still has some privileges. You're right. Oh, and, John... ..it was good work. I had a good teacher. Bullshit. You had the best. 14,640-some-odd people under Witsec protection and not one with a profile like this. That bad? That good. This young lady, Miss Cullen, is a real, live, bona fide honest person. Why does she need us? She's a senior executive at CYREZ Corporation. Ever hear of it? Yeah, major defence contractors. Mostly top secret weapons research. Looks like someone inside CYREZ is selling out Uncle Sam. Feds need her to prove their case. If they do, she'll be the key witness in the hottest scandal since Iran Contra. When does this go down? Tomorrow. The sting's all in place. Soon as it's over - she's all yours. Sealed file on relocates. Your eyes only. As usual, only you and I will be privy to your witness' exact location. But, John, there are some serious players here in Washington that could be badly burned. TENSE MUSIC Then so could she. DRAMATIC MUSIC HELICOPTER OVERHEAD PA: Welcome to CYREZ Corporation.

Not bad, Miss Cullen. Not bad for an amateur. We're right with you, Lee. (Sighs) Yeah. Then let's do it. Good morning, Miss Cullen. Good morning. Station C? Uh, yes. And how long today? Uh, 10 minutes max. OK. DOOR BUZZER SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC Doing just fine, Lee. Let's hope we bought the right combination, gentlemen. BEEP Bingo! TENSE MUSIC Oh, shit. It's OK. It's OK.

I want to know where Donahue's office is. 25th floor. I know where it is. 25th floor. Get back-up ready to roll. This whole thing could go sour. What is it, William? That's someone I trusted for five years, someone I told others could be trusted. Well, I was pulling the stats... Don't! We're way beyond bullshit here. Who are you working for? Shit, we're dead. I should ask you that question. I used to think it was for the United States Government. Oh, come on, Lee. What do you think we do here? This isn't the Red Cross. We make weapons - things that kill people. If the Government isn't willing to pay the price for them, it's my job to find somebody who will. I didn't know treason was part of the corporate strategy. I asked who you were working for. You didn't tell me. Oh, my God. Holy shit. Christ! Get her out of there. Get her out of there now! What is this? (Chuckles) A camera? I'm working for the FBI, William. They heard everything you just said. They're watching us right now. And you think that makes you safe? SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC YOU have no fucking idea! How could you do this to me? I hope you understand, Lee, you leave me no choice. GUNSHOT (Woman screams) PA: Welcome to CYREZ Corporation. All visitors will be required... PHONE RINGS Security. Uh-huh. Wait a minute. Stop her! Stop! Hey! CAR ACCELERATES Lee. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go! Our hard evidence. It's all yours, gentlemen. We've handled these types of situations before. You still haven't answered my question. We said there would be risks. You also said I'd be under complete protection the entire time. The operation didn't go as smoothly as we anticipated. I'd say that's an understatement. Remember, Miss Cullen, you came to us. I came to you with a clerical error. You asked for my help. And we got it. If CYREZ is selling weapons technology, that's high treason. This disk and your testimony will help us put them and their co-conspirators behind bars. You've done a great service for your country. Now it's time to think about your safety. LIFT WHINES This is US Marshal John Kruger with the Witness Protection Programme. He'll be handling your personal security. My protection? Your new identity, relocation. I'll take you through it step by step. What are you talking about? I'm not going anywhere. You're in an extremely high-risk situation, Miss Cullen. That should have been explained to you. Your boss was just a middleman, Lee. There are other, more dangerous people involved. So you expect me to - what? - give up my whole life over this? Just until the trial. Then you'll be safe. How do you know that? How do you know anything? Miss Cullen... Look, I'll keep up my end of the bargain - I'll testify. But that's it. I'm going home. Put people on her right away or we'll need a seance to get her testimony. Who brought her into this? She volunteered. She had security clearance, we had a vault code... You told her it's a walk in the park. Now her life isn't her own any more, it's too late. We had no case otherwise. It's a lot easier to put her ass on the line than yours, isn't it? SECURITY DOOR BUZZES Sully! Frediano, how you doing? Good. I have a little something for you. Let's see what you got. A receipt. Thank you. Gentlemen, always a pleasure. CLANDESTINE MUSIC It's me.

Let me write this story - I'll nail CYREZ on the front page. This phone may not be safe. GRIM MUSIC I'll call you later. Wait - did you make a copy? Yeah. That's your insurance, Lee.

Lee, you're alive. And I will keep you that way. Oh, your hand! There's a first-aid kit under your seat. That weapon or whatever the hell it was - it was from your company, wasn't it? Yes, it's an EM prototype. It's not even supposed to exist. EM? Electromagnetic pulse. No gunpowder, no conventional bullets. They fire aluminium rounds at almost the speed of light. You're talking about the railgun? Yeah, that's another name for them. The navy has been working on them for years. The smallest one I've ever heard of is mounted on a battleship. CYREZ was contracted to scale them down, to design a compact type of velocity pulse weapon, the most powerful assault rifle on Earth. They took millions then they said the physics were impossible. They looked real enough to me. Maybe CYREZ found a higher bidder. Well, they're connected everywhere - Defence, CIA, NSA. Maybe even your people for all we know. Do you still want to put them away? Yes. I'll hide you until the hearings. No one will know where. Not my boss, not Witsec, no one. Can you do that? The Feds knew this would be a death sentence for you. They let you walk right into it. I was stupid. You trusted them, that's all. Now trust me. TROUBLED MUSIC This is Morehart. We have a problem. Go ahead. This line's secure. The Cullen woman is still alive. Are you serious? It gets worse. She has a disk. She tried to access our program with it. Do you have any idea the risk I took to get this back? I know. She must have made a duplicate. Then get it! Whatever it takes, get it! Understood. Um...one other thing - I checked her phone records. And? She called a woman named Isaacs, a reporter for the 'Washington Herald'. I see. I think you know what has to be done. Do it. GRIM MUSIC KNOCK AT DOOR The Joint Chiefs are ready, Mr Undersecretary. Tell them I'll be right with them, Lieutenant. Thank you.

I guess I could have used something more fun like...Debbie? Deb? (Laughs) Deborah's fine. I gave you AAA credit. Mmm! What's my limit? It's not a licence to shop! I want you to lay low right now. May Ling will take good care of you. You know the signal. 911 - I get out of the apartment. Remember, go straight to the payphone and wait for my call.

THEME MUSIC NEWSREADER: Undersecretary of Defence Daniel Harper spoke before Congress today about the controversial CYREZ scandal. The use of private contractors is totally within the parameters of Defence Department spending. I look forward to the CYREZ hearing and I'm absolutely confident that we will be vindicated of any mismanagement of funds. APPLAUSE Thank you, Mr Chairman, for the opportunity. EASYGOING BACKGROUND MUSIC Hey, Jack. Thanks for coming. Listen... You know I don't like meeting outside of our normal channels. It's not my choice. Are they with you? Yeah. Whether I like it or not. Listen, John, we, uh... ..we got a serious problem. What's going on? Someone's been murdering our witnesses. We got three confirmed kills in the last 48 hours. Who? Not one of yours, not one of mine. Not yet, anyway. Did they break cover? No. No. That is the problem. And there's no way anyone could know all three, their locations. There's a mole inside Witsec. Well, Beller thinks so. He may be right. Hell, all three singers were witnesses in some high-profile Federal cases, all with international ties. That's our common thread. There are other singers that fit that profile. Six, to be exact. One of them's yours and one of them's mine. So we have to live-contact and replant them immediately. The jet is fuelling as we speak. I work alone. You know that. Not today. Beller's orders. Buddy system, CIA escorts - three teams and we're one of them. Fine. We do yours first. PURPOSEFUL MUSIC Gentlemen, this is John Kruger. John, these are Agents Schiff and Calderon.

Chauffeurs for degenerates. Don't you ever get tired of babysitting scum? Yeah. But in your case, I'll make an exception. Hey, who the hell does this guy think he is? Him? Well, he thinks he's the best guy in the game. I think he's right. Try not to piss him off, OK? Guys. You're east. You're west. You're north. Here. We've got the boathouse, the garage, the back door. We take the front entrance? You and me, old buddy. Look, I don't feel like getting shot today, boys, so keep your goddam safeties on. We're probably going to find her inside baking muffins.

Get your hands off me! Whoa! Hey, listen, I've got a bad heart and a very good lawyer, all right? Shut up. He's clean. Cheese and pepperoni. SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC All right, pal, hit the road. I said, hit the road. (Gasps for breath) Oh. What's going on down there? Some pizza delivery guy's having a seizure. Who ordered a pizza? This is all we need. Get him to the infirmary. Call an ambulance. Out of the way. Coming through. DRAMATIC MUSIC Yeah? Deguerin, how are we doing? We'll be on the road in an hour. They need to be rolling. Yes, sir! All right, come on, guys. Let's move it! SIREN WAILS They've been expecting you. The infirmary is straight through the loading dock. Is the patient stable? I'm not sure. You'd better hurry. Thank you. TYRES SCREECH All right, he looks stable. Let's give him some low O2. MONITOR BEEPS ALARM BEEPS He's fibrillating! No. No, you can't... Hey! Hey! Get it off me! Get it off me! Hey! Hey! No! Clear! Arggh! PADDLES BUZZ Right this way. They're waiting for you. Here we go again. Clear! Ugh. Ugh. All right. Increase the voltage. (Snorts) Let's do it one more time! Let's not. Oh, my God. You. Over there against the wall. Get down on the floor. Face the wall. (Yells) Get on the floor. Oh, my God! A terrorist! You want terror? Terror, huh? You want some freakin' terror? Get your ass up here - I'll jump-start it. Here. Tape them up. OK. Face the wall. Turn around. Keep the room secure. Do you think you can handle that? Get out of here. Let's go. COMPUTER BEEPS We got a problem. What? What is it? He's running the disk. Shit! That's impossible. Station 1, any activity at your location? All clear. All clear my ass. He's in. He just didn't use the door. Get your men down there now. Let's go! DRAMATIC MUSIC DOOR BEEPS SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC KEYPAD BEEPS What? What are you doing? No. I know this. We change it every week. Screw that. Get out of the way. (Cocks gun) Go ahead. Check it. DOOR UNSEALS COMPUTER BEEPS SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC Somebody talk to me. He's running the disk from a remote terminal somewhere in the building. You said he couldn't do that. He can't. Donahue designed this so no outside access... (Cocks gun) Donahue? Donahue is dead. And you're gonna wish you were too, unless you find out what is going on and you find out now. Holster your weapon. Take a hike, junior. I said, holster your weapon. I said... Arggh! You know, some people take things for granted - like the ability to chew solid food. I can find him. SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC (Makes gurgling noise) How? I can scan the terminals. I can eliminate them one by one. If he stays online, I'll nail him. Then do it. LEE: How are we doing? You were right about Donahue. He left himself a back door. But we still have to break his code. I figure we've got around five or six minutes until they trace us. Do you recognise any of this? No. But we're getting warm. It's an accounting format. OK. Stop me if I get lucky. COMPUTER BEEPS BEEP How are we doing? Eliminating low-clearance programs. OK. South wing is clean. Two more to go. I've got Federal investigators downstairs who want to talk. Well, fine. Go talk to them. Get rid of them. You can't be seen here. I won't be. Just go. I need a chopper on the roof ready to go. Now, those are offshore banking deposits. UBS - that's United Bank of Syria. $52 million. If it's an arms sale, it's a major one. Let's see who their buyer is. Sergei Ivanovich Petrofsky. Who's that? Bad news. He heads a cartel in the Russian mafia selling drugs, guns to some very unpleasant people. COMPUTER BEEPS SOFTLY He's somewhere in the north wing. North wing. Get your men moving. Let's go. How much longer? I don't know. There's 15 terminals running secure programs in there. You've got five minutes. Find him. Call me. Let's go. There it is. Delivery date - tonight, midnight. 1000 units for delivery at Baltimore Harbour. 1000 units of what? COMPUTER BEEPS An EM gun. A thousand EM guns. Are they insane? If these things get offshore... There will be a whole new era of world terrorism. Got him. 25th floor. Donahue's office. Scramble. To the north wing now. They're on to us. They're erasing the goddam disk. DRAMATIC MUSIC Ugh. Arggh! Arggh! LIFT BELL DINGS MACHINE GUN FIRE Come on! I'll cover you. Meet me at the ambulance. Oh, no, John, I can't. Go! Lee! Run! (Gasps) SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC You listen up, John! We're playing my rules now. You mess with me and I'll slice her up and mail her back to you in little pieces, all right? Urgh! (Curses) PA: Fire alert. Fire alert. This is not a drill. Please proceed to the nearest exit. DRAMATIC MUSIC In this car, I'll get us to Baltimore in 40 minutes. Johnny, you're not coming with me. I'm gonna drop you off. No, please, don't give me this "I work alone" shit. You've already done enough. This is not your fight. No, look, just... ..just indulge me for a minute, OK? If it weren't for you, my tongue would be hanging on Leo Canelli's trophy wall like a freakin' trout. Now, look, you need me. My cousin Tony runs those docks. If your ship is there, he will find it. (Laughs) SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC You're short one envelope here. Infantino didn't pay. What do you mean, he didn't pay? What did he say? He said, "Tell that fat fuck Tony Two Toes "I ain't gonna pay him another dime." I know that voice, but it can't be him. Not unless he's a ghost. Boo. Johnny C. I thought you got whacked. It must've been some other guy. Yeah. Some other guy rat out Vincenzo Canelli too? Canelli's a piece of shit. I got no love for Canelli either. But this time...this time you went over the line, John. I'm still here. What you did was wrong. What he did got a drug dealer and his poison off the streets. Who's the tree trunk? This is the guy that saved my ass. That's my cousin Tony Two Toes. That's Sally boy. (Laughs) And that's Little Mike. Your funeral was absolutely beautiful, man. Listen, Canelli finds out he stole... Screw Canelli. We've got bigger problems than that. Tell him. There's a major arms deal going down. A US contractor is selling out to international terrorists. (Tony and Sal laugh) Mr '60 Minutes', tell me something I don't know. It's going to happen tonight on YOUR docks. THAT I didn't know. Quite a lot of security. Expecting trouble? I'm a Boy Scout. "Always be prepared." Is that why you brought her? Just think of her as an insurance policy in case someone crashes the party. Is there something you're not telling me? Just a little bump in the carpet. Nothing for you to worry about. Relax, Sergei, you'll be out of here in 20 minutes. What do I do with her? Whatever you want. Once you're in international waters her policy expires. Personally, I'd put a bullet in her head and throw her overboard. OMINOUS MUSIC It would be such a shame. Don't even think about it. Ugh! I think and do what I like. You'll soon learn about this. Well, last crate's on its way. I'll leave you two lovebirds alone. Deguerin. Do svidaniya. DRAMATIC MUSIC This is Kruger. Get me Beller. Start a trace on this. Yes, sir. John. I've got the proof. CYREZ is selling weapons on the black market and Daniel Harper's in on it. Undersecretary of Defence Harper? Yes. Deguerin is their facilitator. He's the mole. It all goes down tonight. Come and get me. Baltimore docks. Pier 57. John? John?! UNEASY MUSIC EMT, report. Range is clear. Not a creature is stirring. Clear on the south. Quiet on the east. Right, gentlemen. This is the last load. Keep your heads up and your assholes puckered. That son of a bitch is out there. I want him. Hey, sunshine. Whoa. Gimme a second. I want to talk. This is a restricted area. (Chuckles) You're telling me. Let me ask you - what are you doing here? Excuse me? We're from the Local 129th, sonny. We heard you was loading a ship without the assistance of bona fide union labour. Say it ain't so. Sir, we have a situation here. You certainly do. Stand by. We're coming to you. SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC What the hell is going on here? TONY: Let me explain something, sonny boy. Nothing moves off these docks without it don't get loaded by the union. I don't see no union people around here. Do you? Gentlemen, this is a matter of national security. You will clear this area immediately. Are you threatening us? Absolutely. (Cocks gun) SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC BIRDS SCREECH DRAMATIC MUSIC Ugh! Arggh! What was that? We got gunfire at the warehouse. SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC Nobody screws with the union. EXCITING MUSIC Check in. Someone's in. Talk to me. Goddammit! We have a security breach. Check it out! Get that crane on the move. (Whistles) SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC OMINOUS MUSIC I've got movement - south-west corner of the warehouse. Oh. It's nothing. (Miaows) (Mutters) TONY: There they are. Commie bastards. Relax. They're not Communists any more. They're a Federation of Independent Liberated States. Don't make me hurt you, Mikey. JOHNNY: Quiet! Watch the bad boys on that crane. I can hit that guy from here. No, Sal. You couldn't hit the floor if you fell on it. Got him. 30 yards out. Fry the bastard. GUNSHOTS Arggh! Fuck me. OK. I think it's safe to say we got him. He's toast. I think we even got the roaches. Yeah. Royce. Somes - you recon. Bring me back the good news. Red team, you cover them. Roger. SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC Come on. Goddammit. ELECTRICAL STATIC Nice shotgun, asshole. No! Royce! (Both cock guns) ELECTRICAL STATIC (Rat squeaks) Ugh! (Cocks guns) TRIUMPHANT MUSIC Schiff! Calderon! They missed. Johnny? I'll be right out. Open fire! (Speaks Russian) (Speaks Russian) It looks as if your friend has arrived. I'll enjoy introducing him to you. I doubt I'll have the pleasure. He has forced me to hasten our departure. And yours. MACHINE GUN FIRE MACHINE GUN FIRE IN DISTANCE John! Goddammit! Now you are pissing me off! Drop the guns. Ugh! Do it now. Thanks. John! Shut up! Take it up. Let's go! Now! Ugh. (Speaks Russian) (Speaks Russian) GUNSHOTS (Grunts with effort) Ugh! Ugh! Arggh! Here. Grab the ladder. DRAMATIC MUSIC Hold on. Say...'goodbye', John. Eee-yah! Goodbye. DEGUERIN: John! John, buddy. John! Don't let me go like this, man. (Groans) John, help me. Arggh! Oh, John! HELICOPTER WHIRRS Arggh. (Fires gun) You son of a bitch. Arggh. MICROPHONE: Drop the guns. SIREN WAILS (All cock guns) SIRENS WAIL All right. Get him out of here! Yes, sir! Thank you, John. POWERFUL MUSIC Have you got that? Let's go! Come on! John! DRAMATIC MUSIC Oh! JOURNALIST: Mr Undersecretary! REPORTER: Mr Undersecretary! How does it feel to be indicted for treason? I have nothing to say. Marshal Deguerin. Marshal Deguerin. What about you? I'm proud of what I've done. You admit to treason? I admit to patriotism. Our actions have stopped a secret alliance that this Administration has had with some of our nation's worst enemies. The public deserves to know the truth. When we have our day in court, they will. Sir, what is your response to...? (All shout questions) They could get away with this, couldn't they? If Morehart takes the fall. You did well in there. I couldn't have done it without you watching over me. Are you ready? Yeah. Pretty impressive speech. You ought to learn to keep your mouth shut in front of the press. It doesn't matter anyway. This'll never go to trial without her testimony. I'm not convinced we should start again. But with this bitch gone, we can spin doctor ourselves cleaner than Mother Teresa. What about people she's been in contact with? Friends? Family? Fuck her family. Fuck her friends. I'll kill them - one by one. By next year, she won't even be a memory. Robert, you never fail to amaze me. Me? (Laughs) Thank you. But you? I've got to hand it to you. That was a brilliant piece of work you did back there. What are you talking about? The van was beautiful. It was clean and swift. We've got hundreds of witnesses to say we weren't near it. I like your style. You know, you remind me of me. I thought you set that up. What? Didn't you...? BRAKES SCREECH What the hell's going on up there? What's going on? What is it? Hey! PHONE RINGS PHONE RINGS Hello. It's for you. Yeah? JOHN: You've just been erased. POWERFUL MUSIC RAIL CROSSING BELL DINGS TRAIN HORN HONKS Oh, my God! METAL CRUNCHES DRAMATIC MUSIC What happened? (Exhales deeply) (Starts engine) They caught a train. SONG: # I'm going down # Way down town # I'm gonna blow you all away # You have a way you make me feel # That is driving me insane # Look around # Losing time # The temperature's a-rising # I caught a train and lost my way # When I'm falling in a fire # I'm burning steel with a nasty feel # I'm caught up with desire # Come on and watch me # I'm going down # Yeah # Come on and watch me Supertext Captions by the Australian Caption Centre Copyright 1999 Captioned by: Karen Schwartz, Heather Fox, Ann Hobday and James A.
