You've reached Gold Coast Savings and Loan.
If you're calling about a checking account, press one.
Come on, come on.
- You still on hold? - 20 minutes.
Is it a felony to shoot a computer?
Only in California.
We show it still in the computer, sir.
You're telling me some TRW computer says I bounced a check for $26...
...seven years ago, and now you won't give me the loan?
This is actually stopping me from getting my condo.
- It's marked unpaid. - I paid the check!
I don't believe it!
They put me on hold!
Cheer up.
You have a visitor.
Rita!
This is your mail because it's got your name on it.
My mail is addressed to "occupant"...
...because, Max, I am the fucking occupant of my place!
You, on the other hand, are no longer an occupant.
Is this sinking in?
Get your shit out of my place!
Don't do this to me here.
Excuse me, Max.
Sorry if I'm disturbing you guys...
...but do I look like a warehouse?
Because this guy thinks I do.
He won't get his stuff out, and you should see what he holds onto.
What?
Come here.
Give me a break.
Cut me some slack on some storage space.
You're out of slacks. No more slacks for you.
Hey, don't you...
I'm not one of your goddamn buddies!
I'm sick of this!
Gun!
Don't move! Put the gun down, or he's dead!
Put the gun down!
Don't be a hero.
Put that gun down!
Get out of the way!
Take it easy.
I'm trying to resolve a problem with my girlfriend...
...and you're interrupting.
Ex-girlfriend.
So why don't you take the .357, shove it up your ass...
...and blow your brains out.
What you talking about?
Motherfucker!
That was probably stupid.
Somebody had to get the gun out of the schmuck's ear, didn't they?
Computer is good for something.
- Are you okay? - Don't touch me.
I don't need this shit in my life, you know?
You know, Max...
...it's really beautiful the way you two have stayed so close.
Next time, shoot him.
The next detective who allows an armed bail bondsman in here...
...does traffic for two months!
I'm dead serious!
Way to go, Sly.
Now that you're all warmed up, how about room four?
She's a jogger.
She caught a stray bullet on Ocean Drive.
Ocean Drive?
Nobody gets shot there. Too ritzy.
You caught me.
I'm lying. I like to make shit up.
Come on. Room four. She's waiting.
Whatever you do, do not let Hollenbach out of that office.
Order him something to eat.
He'd stay in a burning building for a free meal.
I'll be back in about 30 minutes.
I have to go.
Miss McQueen?
Why don't you take a seat.
I'm Detective Kirkpatrick.
I need to ask you a few questions about the shooting.
I'd like to help, but I can't even say if there was a shooting.
Kirkpatrick.
Hold on, please.
- It's for you. - Thanks.
I need my notes on the Juantorena settlement typed up for my meeting.
You did it already? You're a lifesaver.
Can you hold on?
Would you mind not smoking?
Sure.
Thanks.
Can you send them over? I'll proof them here.
So, Miss McQueen, I'm a little confused.
My report indicates there were several witnesses...
All I know is a window broke and I got cut by glass.
I saw a car zoom away, if that's any help.
Who's on this line?
- Who's this? - Records. Can you get off the line?
It's the fax machine.
Thanks.
Sorry for the interruptions.
Phones ringing. Faxes coming in.
It's...
...for you...
...again.
Can I borrow your pen?
What'd you do, move in?
I've been waiting an hour.
I can't stop my life for your red tape.
My red tape? That's a laugh.
Considering your people invented red tape.
My people?
You're a lawyer, right?
Is that a problem?
Only if you like seeing criminals put behind bars.
You're right.
It'd be much easier if we could just lock people up without a trial.
Did I say that?
You people all say that.
Because you people work for the bad guys.
I do civil law, not criminal law.
But if you're looking for bad guys, you could start right here.
What's that supposed to mean?
Florida law enforcement has set a world record in bribery and corruption.
A world record?
What's a Florida cop in a three-piece suit?
What?
The defendant.
What do you call 50 lawyers at the bottom of the ocean?
A good start.
You know it.
If you're done, can I go now?
Stay one more minute, I'll charge you rent.
If you keep me another minute...
...I'll bill you for my time.
Wouldn't surprise me.
Hello, is Kate still there?
She's not here.
Do you know where she went?
Try the bottom of the ocean.
Maria, I'll be with you soon.
Good morning, Lisa.
How are you?
Made some friends today?
Good.
- Messages? - Hollenbach's in your office.
Counselor. it's about time.
I had to cancel lunch with Donny Trump.
Sorry. I got hung up at police headquarters for two hours.
Two hours? Why don't you do what I do?
Plead the Fifth, you're out in five minutes.
Thanks for the tip.
No charge.
Counselor, why are we confining ourselves to this stuffy office?
We could be at the beach in our bikinis.
Or in your case, a thong.
We wrapped up the Juantorena case weeks ago.
It just got unwrapped...
...last week...
...when I learned you helped your client hide community property that...
...I can claim for my client.
What are you referring to?
I'm talking about the ski house you hid with your client's brother...
...the condo you hid with his sister...
...and the plane you hid with his mother.
Counselor, there is no ski house...
...there is no condo...
...and his mother borrowed the plane.
His mother's senile.
That's it! She forgot to come back.
These charges are scurrilous and baseless.
And may I say between us, tête-à-tête...
...that this would take, minimum, two years to prove.
He'd transfer title to new relatives.
As far as this humble counselor is concerned, the most I would get is...
...a $200 slap on the wrist.
You're right.
I won't waste our time in family court.
That's ridiculous.
But maritime court...
...federal maritime court...
...that's different.
Maritime court has something to do with cruise ships, right?
Actually...
...it has to do with all ships.
Like this one.
Never heard of the Tortuga.
I didn't say the name.
Lucky guess?
Listen, Hollenbach, the law of the sea is simple and federal.
I don't care if you hid the vessel registry in Panama or Podunk.
I want the title signed over to my client in 48 hours...
...or you'll end up in a federal prison.
By the time you get out, you'll need a walker to chase ambulances.
Are we clear?
You know...
...you're very unattractive when you're threatening.
Gotcha.
What's our status?
We crossed the underwater cable line.
How long?
Hard to say.
Thirty-six hours, maybe 48.
Now we search for a junction box down there.
What about our Miami problem?
I'll take care of it myself.
Oh, yes, Colonel Kazak...
...the mighty KGB who missed a hit on a divorce lawyer.
No wonder your country folded.
I'll show you how it's done. Get out of the way.
Go, go, go!
Let someone who doesn't eat borscht show you how to use a computer.
Give me the grid.
Take it down. Dade County.
Search for target.
There, you see? She'll be dead by dinner.
There's something I really think you should see.
What's going on?
Make a hole. Let him in.
There you go. Take a peek.
Is that your stuff?
I guess so.
I think you pissed her off.
Definitely pissed her off.
It amazes me how much shit a man can accumulate. You fucked up.
Thanks. Rub it in, why don't you?
Not that.
The lawyer didn't sign her statement. She left her pager too.
Come on, I'm off duty.
This job is like a toilet: it ain't over till the paperwork's done.
Boss, please. I've dealt with enough crazy women today.
You've got me confused with someone who gives a rat's ass.
Signed statement on my desk by tonight.
Wanna watch Headline News?
It won't kill you.
Oh, my God!
Out of my way! Move!
It's okay. I got you.
I got you.
I want it straight!
- The girl is still alive. - She's alive?
You sure?
Idiot.
So, Juantorena, Miss McQueen is still alive.
I'm getting a little bored...
...with your petty incompetence.
Fuck what you think!
You tap phones for a living. I tap banks.
Without me, you'd still be in Havana pulling bananas out of your ass.
You think you can do this alone?
What are you going to do, shoot me?
Hey, you!
Do you know how to do everything he did?
Good.
I want the land team ready to go in 10 minutes.
Yes, sir.
It's Nancy. Forensics.
What do you got?
So far, all I got is a blast pattern and a strong smell of marzipan.
Marzipan? Jesus.
Semtex?
Or C4.
The blast was shaped in a military configuration to kill all in its path.
These guys are not fooling around.
- Who'd we draw for detail? - You got B and G.
Good.
Go back to the station and see what's going on.
- Boys. - Hi, Max.
You smell like you fell in a sewer.
- You check it out yet? - No. We just got here.
Top of the stairs, on the right. Keep her away from the windows.
I'll stash the jeep and check the back door.
Come this way, ma'am.
Be back in a minute.
Have you downloaded the background information of the target?
I can tell you what size pantyhose she wears.
We know more about her than she does.
Any food?
Pop-Tarts and beef jerky.
- It's Max's fault we got night duty. - That's right.
He springs for Domino's.
- He's springing. I'm not. - I'm busted.
- I got $ 10 to my name... - Hey, guys?
I'll buy the pizza.
Call Caffe Romano. I have an account there.
Why not?
All right, you two, I need two eyes on the front. You in back, Bean.
Light's out in the back porch, so get one from the hallway.
How do you feel?
Like my life just exploded.
What is this place? Motel hell?
It was a crack house until the county took it over.
- We use it for witness protection. - You mean targets.
- I didn't say that. - Forensics did, on the radio.
What is Semtex?
It's a plastic explosive...
...used mostly by the military...
...and terrorists.
I'll tell you this, Kate: Whoever's after you...
...they're real pros.
I should take that as a compliment.
It would be embarrassing to be killed by an amateur.
I got you some dry clothes.
Shower's right behind you, if you want to clean up.
You get some rest.
What happens in the morning?
Figure out who's trying to kill you.
Twenty minutes, okay?
To go! Pepperonis with everything.
Extra cheese, four times!
Under Kate McQueen account.
How does she eat so much and stay so skinny?
Colonel, we've got her. She just used her credit card.
It's a delivery going to...
Move your car! My pizzas are getting cold!
Yeah, and so are you.
Hey, babe, if it were Domino's, I'd get a discount.
If I were Domino's, you'd still be alive.
Door's open. How many in there?
Three more targets.
One on the ground floor at the back.
One on the second.
And one at the end of the hall.
Where's target one?
In a room by the stairs.
Now would be a good time to catch him.
That's better.
What did you do?
To the heat sensor? Nothing.
One just disappeared!
Okay, you mook! You better not be touching my pizza.
Oh, shit!
Wait. Target three is moving.
Bean, G, talk to me.
G, answer me!
What the hell is going on?
Shit!
Where's the target?
Stand by. I'm scanning.
Where is he?
Wait.
He's in front of you!
Shit!
Let's go!
Come on, quick!
Come back. The police will be here any minute!
- They're out of there. - They?
When did she become a "they"?
She's with a cop. And he's good. He killed our whole goddamn team.
Stop!
Police cars! We'll be safe with them.
That was supposed to be a safe house back there. Only cops know of it.
We can't trust the cops?
I only trust the cops that I know.
Right now, I don't know how many are alive.
Kirkpatrick. Line two.
I got it!
Tell me you've got her.
What's going on?
Bean and G are dead.
- That's what's going on. - God.
Where are you?
Not on the phone. Not the way it went down.
What are you saying?
Somebody knows every move we make!
I ain't saying shit until I know who I can trust!
I've lost two men. I'm not fucking around! Bring her in now!
You should call the suits.
We don't need the goddamn suits!
Got it!
Kirkpatrick.
Nice lrish name for our cop.
Let's see what he's made of.
Here we go.
One life about to end.
If anybody's dirty, we need to call the Feds.
Wait. Who said anything about dirty cops?
Give us an hour.
Where?
Where I used to go on Friday nights.
This is bullshit!
You live through this, you're fucking fired!
You just make sure you bring the Feds, understand?
Don't worry.
Watch your six.
How long to police headquarters?
Five minutes. Go south.
- Forensics. - Jodi, it's Max.
Hey, Don fucking Johnson.
I need a favor.
- I never lend money to family. - I need a make on a shell.
Yeah, like I need my beauty sleep. What do you got?
It's a center-fire shell...
...copper wash with a brass primer and a red surround.
It looks like a 12-gauge, but it's marked 33.
Ever heard of a 33?
No such number. There's no such zone.
You got a phantom cartridge there.
Phantom cartridges blew away two of my crew.
I'm sorry.
The arms world is like the Jersey shore. It throws up new shit every day.
I'll run it right now. Can you call me in an hour?
Where are you taking me?
My partner used to moonlight here as a security guard.
Don't worry, everything will be all right.
I wish I could believe that.
Lieutenant Meyerson.
Baker. FBI.
Congratulations.
Detective Aragon will take you to the pickup point.
Come on.
The word for tonight is "inconspicuous," all right?
Where the hell are you taking us?
I'll tell you when we get there.
- You okay? - This the guy?
Agent Baker. Where's the woman?
Show me your l.D.
Y'all don't have to screw with me. Your partner's done that.
Let me see the badge.
Where is she?
Cruise the perimeter. Make sure this is the only way in and out.
Howdy, ma'am.
Are you okay? I'm with the FBI.
You're safe now.
It's okay.
Why don't you ride in the other car?
I'll be right behind you.
Why don't you put that out?
Seat belt for safety.
Right.
Hold the wheel, will you?
Come on! Let's go!
Come on, come on!
Stay down!
If it wasn't for you, I'd remember where I parked the car!
What happened?
I got my best friend killed.
How?
I was the one who called the FBI. That wasn't the FBI.
- Who were they? - I don't know!
I did everything I was supposed to do. I checked their l.D.
These guys are perfect.
If you fail again, I'll kill you myself. Now get in.
You got any cash?
I have a credit card.
This is a good place to hole up.
Looks big and busy, and they won't remember faces.
Stay right here.
Idiots.
They use a credit card again. Typical Americans.
Got them?
Raleigh Hotel, 1775 Collins Avenue.
Ten minutes from here, colonel.
- Forensic. - It's me. Listen...
- What if this 33 isn't numbers? - Go on.
What if it's letters from a Greek or Hebrew alphabet?
You're not as stupid as you look. Give me some time.
I'll call you back.
Great! Someone gave us the wrong goddamn key!
It doesn't need brawn.
Finesse.
Oh, no, you don't.
No time for rest.
I need some answers.
Did you hear me? Get up. I need your help.
We gotta figure this out.
You're a lawyer, right?
That's a perfect place to start. You got a lot of clients and cases?
This has to be connected to one of your cases, right?
It's possible.
You sent someone away, now they want revenge?
I don't do criminal law, I do civil law.
Small claims, green cards, mom-and-pop grocery stores.
Nobody gets killed over that.
Oh, no?
Three of my friends were just killed over that!
Three families wake up tomorrow without a father!
I have to live with that.
So do l.
So, genius...
...did you ever piss off the KGB?
KGB?
The Russian letter for "Z" looks like a three.
So "33" is "ZZ," which means Zapadny Zavod...
..."Death to the West." They were based in Cuba to strike Western targets.
- "They" being KGB away teams. - Go on.
They were the Navy Seals of the spy world: wet works, black-bag jobs...
...electronic surveillance. Very versatile.
If it was bad, they did it.
Fuck "did." They're doing. They're on my ass.
Avoid anything that leaves electronic footprints.
They can enter your home and pick your nose.
Remember the Russian spy ships we read about?
Well, these guys worked on them.
They're into electronic surveillance.
- That's why their l.D.s were perfect. - What?
- They did it with computers. - Never mind. You got family here.
If you need a hand, most of us are armed and dangerous.
Thanks, cuz.
You're a lifesaver...
...even without the artillery.
KGB...
...computers.
They found the safe house. How did they find the safe house?
The phone lines.
Quarter of a million...
...cash.
What?
For the girl.
Never fucking happen.
Half a million.
Just walk away.
We gotta get moving! These bastards are on the phone lines!
Phone lines.
Eenie, meenie, miney, moe.
Let's see if you have your ears on now.
He's using the phone. I'll trace it to the other party.
Stop-n-Shop.
I know you're out there listening, you motherfucker.
Fuck you calling "motherfucker."
You're never gonna get the girl.
I already got your girl, Earl.
I fucked her last night!
And she was good.
Big mistake killing my crew.
Big fucking mistake.
Want to know why?
Because I'm gonna get every last one of you.
That's an empty threat, Mr. Kirkpatrick.
You have no idea who we are.
Why don't you drop the American accent?
I beg your pardon?
Fuck you, fuck whoever else on the line. Bring your ass here.
Do svidanya, asshole.
Do svi what?
" Do svidanya, asshole"?
Man, fuck you!
Clever bastard! You in?
I've isolated the floor, not the room.
Do them all!
Let's go.
What's going on?
Get back. Fuck finesse.
Two more blocks.
- He said, " Do svidanya, asshole." - He knows of the Russian connection.
I wonder what else the scumbag knows. Locate that woman!
What's that smell?
Pig shit. Trailer over there is hauling hogs.
Be right back.
They've activated their cell phone!
Imbeciles!
It's like painting a bull's-eye on their ass.
I've got their position.
They're heading north.
We'll have them by midnight.
Pig shit's sure gonna hit the fan!
You've been looking out for me, and somehow I forgot to say thanks.
So, thank you.
All right, Gomer, wake up!
Open the truck!
Hurry up. Let's go!
All right, okay. Don't push! Hello, pigs.
Where the hell are they?
- Where the hell are who? - The cop and the girl.
Good morning.
- How'd you sleep? - Never better.
Do you have any Russian clients?
Why?
This is a Russian shell.
You got any Russian cases?
Cuban, Hispanic...
Cuban sounds Russian.
I'd have to run a list of names on my office PC.
Forget it. We're not going to Miami.
Maybe we don't have to.
We hit the jackpot.
Kirkpatrick's a satisfied customer of Car-Trac, U.S.A.
Car-Trac?
A vehicle tracking system. The police use it to locate missing cars.
Can we access it?
Yes, but it's an encrypted system on a satellite.
It'll take a while.
Then do it!
You got five minutes, then we're out of here.
You moved the lBMs.
I thought there was...
You're not paid to think. You're paid to do what I say.
- May I help you? - Actually, I was in yesterday.
- And Adam was helping me. - I was?
I'll be over in the diner, Adam.
I thought I'd be in better hands with you.
- So what are you doing? - Nothing.
Just fiddling with my joystick.
Fiddling with your joystick?
Do any of these have a communications package?
This unit here has a Hayes-compatible...
...28-baud fax to something or...
Are you more interested in hardware or is it more software?
Hardware.
I was hoping to demo your unit.
I'd have to boot up first.
Why don't you?
We've located the junction box. The divers are in the water.
With luck, by tonight, the targets will be dead and we'll be rich.
She's using a modem to download files from her office.
If she stays on, I can trace it back to her location.
You're not going to buy anything here, are you?
No, I'm sorry. I'm just using you.
That's okay.
- We gotta go. - One more minute.
Got anything?
Do you?
No, no.
Wait a minute.
This could be it.
This guy, Emilio Juantorena.
This thing fax?
You bet.
Jodi can run this name to see if he's got a rap sheet.
Come on. We're out of here.
Thanks, Adam.
You're the best.
Who's this Cuban guy?
He slammed his wife into a wall and kept a dentist busy for a year.
- He get charged? - Yes, but he's bargaining.
With what?
The S & L he owned ran a major wire fraud.
He and his lawyer took immunity from prosecution.
What's his beef with you?
He didn't buy immunity from divorce or property settlement.
It's in a boat I'm trying to repossess.
What's it worth?
$200,000. Why?
Why, Max?
The guy on the phone at the hotel offered me $500,000 to give you up.
It was him!
Speak!
- What the hell is that? - Shit, the radiator. Great.
I believe we've found the bastard...
...who's been helping those idiots put two and two together.
It's the radiator.
It must have overheated. Could you come right now and check it?
You'll get an extra $50 if you get here sooner.
I'm into the Car-Trac system.
Got him!
They're on the inland waterway.
Thank you, Car-Trac.
We'll split up. Get after them.
Take them out.
I have my own little subtraction to do.
Pull over.
We're splitting up.
Tow truck's coming.
Is this you?
Yes, that's me.
The one with the funny haircut.
If you need a clean T-shirt, you'd better do it now.
You look like juvenile delinquents.
We were 17.
Kids. New Jersey.
You got that much testosterone...
...and no idea what to do with it...
...looking like a hood works.
How'd you get from there to being a cop?
My father was a cop, brother-in-law's a cop...
...my cousin Jodi's a cop.
Family business.
- Forensic. - Internal Affairs. Open the door.
What's the problem?
Open the door, detective.
Something punctured your radiator.
What the...?
Oh, shit!
They could have been using Car-Trac to catch us.
We gotta go. Come on. Let's go!
- $ 100. Pay up front. - Just fucking drive.
I'm serious. $ 100. Pay up front.
$50. Pay later.
Drive!
I always hated stick shift!
Faster!
Keep your head down! Let him get even, we're dead.
Faster!
Shoot him!
What are you doing?
I'm losing the Jeep! It's slowing us down!
Shoot him!
They zig, you zag.
Don't let them get ahead of us!
Look out!
It's just a woman driving! Shoot her!
They're behind you!
Floor it! It's gonna blow!
Get ahead of them!
Cut them off!
Nail the brakes on three!
Hit it!
Jesus Christ!
It worked.
- Where are you going? - Away! Out!
Gone! I'm gone!
- I'm gonna get away from this. - No, we stay together.
Remember, we stay calm!
There's no "we" here, okay?
It's me they want.
See this car? Get in.
- You can't make me. - Watch me.
You happy? Get in the car!
You're stealing a car!
Would you shut up?
Take these things off!
I'm calm now.
I'd love to, but the key is on the key ring.
I left the key in the ignition.
Of the Wagoneer?
Shit!
What are you doing?
Don't be so stubborn! Let me go!
What are you doing?
You'll hit the pole!
You'll be killed!
That was dumb!
No, you running off alone was dumber!
Who elected you my knight in shining armor?
The same person who made you a royal pain in the ass.
- Back up! - Or what?
- I'll take your head off! - Bullshit.
Good right.
Had enough?
Give me your best shot!
I'm waiting.
They're not on the interstate.
They took the coast road or ditched the car and jumped the train.
What train?
I've got a thermal reading!
Rosa and I will work toward the center!
You go back there!
Stay down!
I see them.
- Move, move, move! - Let me go!
Let's go, let's go!
Kazak to away team. Report in now.
We got the girl.
What about the cop?
He fell off. He's probably dead.
Whatever you do, don't harm her for now.
I need to interrogate her...
...to find out if anyone else knows. Bring her to me.
Where are you relative to Tortuga?
About 40 minutes due east of Downs Bay.
Good, you'll be back shortly.
You're coming with me.
You've reached Detective Kirkpatrick's meddling relative.
Cousin Jodi can't come to the phone right now...
...but if you'd like to leave a message, contact a psychic.
Do svidanya to you, asshole.
We haven't been formally introduced. Welcome to the Tortuga.
When I ran the KGB out of Cuba...
...I helped some very politically incorrect characters...
...hide billions of dollars...
...in various free-world banks.
But I kept the account numbers.
Magic numbers.
All I had to do...
...was break the bank codes used for wire transfers...
...and help myself.
Downs Bay.
Numbers are so beautiful. Don't you think so, Miss McQueen?
Your client's husband, may he rest in peace, knew about banks.
I know about tapping into the secrets of phone lines.
A match made in heaven.
Unfortunately, you came along and fucked it up.
I don't give a shit about you or the money!
I only wanted the boat.
But you'd have brought a Marshall with repossession orders.
I couldn't afford the intrusion. But don't worry...
...you can have the boat, only it'll be in little pieces...
