"[HORNS HONKING]" "Now we both have an early plane to catch." "Am I boring you?" "[CHUCKLES]" "You're not going to outwit the mighty Serdeych by talking about him all night." "Sleep might help you think." "Pamela I'm this close." "Another month I'll have him." "Of course you will." "That's why they call you the Wizard of Oz." "You, uh, don't want me to stay?" "[MOUTHS] No." "Paul, I told you...." "[SILENCED GUNSHOT]" "BILLY:" "Pamela Densmore, the sixth agent to be murdered this year." "She was a good friend." "We were suppose to have dinner tonight." "All of them professional hits." "Same MO." "Why these women?" "Hmm?" "They worked all over the world." "What's the connection?" "Well, there does seem to be one thing that links all of them together." " You." " Me?" "Well, yeah, I knew them I worked with them." " Sure I dated them, but" " Lee, there's more." "Interpol is investigating a couple of similar murders right now in Europe." "Women, young, professional." "Anne Marie Johnson and Stacy Smith." "Oh, my God." "[KNOCKING]" "Hello, everybody." "Hello, sir." "Good morning." " You're busy?" " The meeting's in the conference room." " Francine." " Oh, I'm sorry." "Excuse me." "I didn't mean to interrupt." " Thank you, Francine." " Sure." "Billy, there's got to be some other connection." "Four out of six agents had worked the Oz Network." "The others" "Oz?" "Has anyone talked to Paul Barnes?" "He's flying in from London today." "Supposedly for his annual review, but there's talk of trouble." "They say he's tired, burned out." "They may even take Oz away from him." "You know, it was 10 years ago when I worked with Paul." "I read the file." "Another female agent was killed then." "Code name Dorothy." "Yeah." "She was the first close friend I ever lost that way." "Maybe Francine should handle this for you." "No." "No." "If this has anything to do with me, I want to know what." "And why." "We don't have much else to go on except that the common denominator seems to be Lee Stetson." "But we don't know why." "And most of you have worked with him or dated him." "So we want you to report any unusual activity strange phone calls, contacts." "Tell me or file a report with Lee upstairs in the new Q-room." "And please be careful." "That's it." "AMANDA:" "Hello." "FRANCINE:" "Hi." "What's going on?" "Well, we know how hard this must be for you, and" " Yeah, so we have a plan." " Right." " Go ahead, Francine." " What?" "You know all the women who didn't make the meeting." "You have to contact them." "So Amanda suggested that we can just all get on the phone." "And we'll, uh, call them." "And if we're all calling we can get the whole thing done in half an hour." " You wouldn't have to worry anymore." " A half an hour won't quite cut it." "Billy wants me to contact all my non-agency friends too." "Oh, all right." "Okay, so that's fine." "Here's what we'll do." "You give us your black book." " We'll divide it up and we'll start dialing." " Books." " Books." " I have four of them." "Ha, ha." "I should have known." "That's okay." "I'm gonna go clear up my desk." "We'll jump on it this afternoon." "See you later, Francine." " Thanks a lot, Francine." " Sure." "Now look." "Just don't worry because it's gonna be all right." "MAN:" "Can I help you?" " What is it?" "I don't know." "I just saw someone I knew." "An old friend." "Well...." "Come on Amanda, let me walk you to your car."

"Baggage for passengers who arrive on Flight 57...." " Cigarette?" " No, thank you." " They're not good for your health." " I lost my health years ago." " Could I give you a ride?" " Yeah." " Germans improved." " I'm working on it." "Why the old codes?" "Is that really necessary?" "I didn't want to catch the Soviet Welcome Wagon." "Boris and Dimitri?" "Don't worry about them." "They're always here, standard watch duty." "Well, maybe." "But I can't afford to be careless." "Things are not well in Oz, Scarecrow." "We stirred up a few hornets in Serdeych's nest." "Yeah." "We lost another agent, Paul." "Pamela Densmore." "When?" "I just left her." "Last night in London." "She knew the risk." "They all did." "Dorothy!" "You all right?" "What?" "Yeah." "Yeah, I'm fine." "Don't worry about it." "[SIGHS]" "Let's get out of here, huh?" "Paul, you said you'd stirred up a few hornets in Serdeych's nest, right?" "Could he commit those murders?" "Think "Heartless" is living up to his nickname?" " Yeah." " It's entered my mind." "But why are you so interested?" "Those were my agents." "My network." "My family." " Serdeych is my problem." " He's everyone's problem." " Those agents were friends." " Aren't they all?" "Dorothy was special." "And we know Serdeych killed her." "That was 10 years ago, Scarecrow." "Leave it alone." "I'll handle this." "I'm working on a solution." "The Wizard has not lost all of his magic." "Lee, come, let's go to your office." "Now, different relationships require different covers." "Okay." "Here, now "IFF" by the name means..." " ..." "International Fed Film." "AMANDA:" "Mm-hm." ""M" for military, and "P.I." for private investigator." "Mm-hm." "What about these little moons?" "Uh, they think I'm an astronaut." "[FRANCINE CHUCKLES]" "FRANCINE:" "Well, we better get started." "Why don't you take all of the ex-agency employees?" "Okay, their addresses are in Data." "Now just in case any of them are classified you can use my clearance card, but with discretion of course." "Absolutely." "Good." "That'll get you anything..." " ...through, uh, a Green 13." " Mm-hm." "You keep that book, I'll keep this one." "Can you handle those two?" "Yeah." " Okay." " Bye." "Yeah." "[UPBEAT DANCE MUSIC PLAYING ON STEREO]" "FRANCINE:" "He told you he was a cellist?" "INSTRUCTOR:" "Seven, eight and" "That explain these little notes here." "Uh, anyway, there's been some trouble." "Some of Lee's, uh, friends have been bothered recently." "You mean the phone calls?" "The heavy breathing." "That's Lee?" "I knew I recognized that whisper." "No, no." "We're not talking about obscene phone calls here." "What are we talking about?" "Um...." "Murder." "[ALL SIGH]" "[PHONE RINGING]" "Hello." "Hi, Jane." "No, I'm just about to leave." "I'll meet you at the courts." "Okay, bye-bye." "Hi, is this Cheryl Bartlett's house?" "[INDISTINCT RADIO CHATTER]" "God, Cheryl." "I only worked with her a couple of times." "I didn't see anything, I didn't hear anything." "He was standing right there, only a few feet from you." "Now I want you to go home, all right?" " Can't help if" " Amanda!" "I don't want to argue with you about this." "Now you please go home and stay there until you hear from me." "All right?" "You almost walked into murder today, Amanda King." "That could've been you." "Please." "MAN [ON STEREO]:" "When all else fails, create a diversion." "Something totally unexpected."

"I didn't see anybody." "Lee, I'm sorry." "All right." "Here." "This woman." "I'm sorry, I didn't see her." " Who is she?" " Her name is Dorothy." "She died 10 years ago." "DOTTIE:" "Amanda." " Yes, Mother?" "Hi, Mother." " What are you doing out here?" " I'm just out here practicing Russian." "You know, the wart hog wants more caviar." "It's a very important phrase, though no one understands why." "Probably the reason why our two countries just don't get along." " Ha, ha." " Not so loud." "We're gonna have the same problem with the neighbors." " Right, Mother." " The wart hog wants more caviar." "Caviar, yes, Mother." " I'll be very quiet." " Good." "Right." "Billy, got anything new on Pamela's murder?" "Yeah, the ballistics report says the same gun that killed Pamela Densmore killed all the others." "I think Serdeych pulled the trigger." " Why?" " Because the Wizard is closing in and Serdeych is doing everything he can to destroy the Oz Network." " Which he tried to do 10 years ago." " How do you figure that?" "Because I think Serdeych was a member of the Oz Network." "Aren't you forgetting that Paul Barnes cleared everyone in that operation?" "No." "No, I'm not." "Keep an eye on him." "PAUL:" "I don't know what you want." " I can't get any more specific." " You'll have to try." "I don't think pressure's going to work here, Billy." "When you promised to deliver Serdeych maybe you were little too eager, even unrealistic." "Have you ever been in the field, Pfaff?" "Ever worked a string of agents for a year with a knot in your stomach the size of a grapefruit every time there was a phone call or a knock on the door?" "Because if you had, you'd know that it takes time." "And patience is something in short supply around here." "[SCOFFS]" "And if that voice analyzer's telling you that I'm a little stressed out, it's right." "Because every day I waste my time jawing with soft hands like you I lose a day on Serdeych." "And, believe me, he doesn't need much." "I promised you an hour." "And gave you 70 minutes." "You owe me 10." "He's stretched tight." "Real tight." "[BEEPING]" "COMPUTER VOICE:" "Verify, or Security will respond." "Clearance." "Oz file begin." " Is everything copacetic, Mrs. King?" " Oh, yes, Mr. Hutchinson." " Just super." " Good." "Good." "[AMANDA SIGHS]" "LEE:" "I wanna talk." " Later, Scarecrow." "I've had all the talking I can do for a day." "Now." "I ran a location check on those murders over the past six months." "Cross-referenced it with your travel itinerary." "There's a perfect correlation here." "You seemed to be in the right place at the right time, every time." " Meaning?" " Meaning that's a big coincidence, Paul." "What the hell's going on here?" "I'll tell you what's going on." "I've been fighting for my life ever since I got to this place with suits who wouldn't mind shutting down the most effective network this agency's known." "I don't need guys who ought to know better taking cheap shots." " You call that correlation a cheap shot?" " Wanna talk correlation?" "Those women who were murdered were your women." "Explain that!" "Come on, come on." "Hold it." "Back off." "What is going on?" "Nothing." "Just a little misunderstanding." "That's all." "We can't afford "misunderstandings" around here, Scarecrow." "You take the rest of the day off and clear your head." "That's an order." " Uh, Lee?" " Why are you here?" " I was just doing some, uh, routine" " You free?" " Yes." " I need to talk." "Okay." "I don't want to believe it." "Paul Barnes has always walked on water for me." "He baptized me in this business." "He gave me my code name." "He saved my life." "And now...." "I just think I'm going nuts or something." "Lee, there's gotta be a perfectly logical explanation." " What's the matter?" " Look, on that bus." "It's Dorothy!" "She was here, damn it." "She was right here." "MAN:" "Dasvidaniya, Mrs. King." "Amanda, how long have we known each other?" "Oh, I don't know." "About two years or so." " Twenty-five months." " And two weeks." "Yeah." "In all that time have you ever known me to see things that aren't there people that aren't there?" "Yeah." "Now there was that time that you kept seeing that flasher on the Senate Park bike path." "I never saw him." "You were gonna go out there with binoculars." " Well, it was much safer that way." " No, I don't mean flashers." " I mean" " I know you mean Dorothy." "Yes!" "She was on that bus, Amanda." "Not an illusion, not a fantasy." "It's just not possible." " Dead is dead." " And you're sure she was killed?" "Amanda, I held her body in my arms." "I tried to breathe life back into her until they finally had to pull me off." "It was the first time." "First time I'd ever seen somebody killed like that." "Look, you were 24 years old." "It wasn't your fault." "Now you gotta stop taking all the blame." "But somebody has to, somebody has to answer for her." "A person shouldn't just die and her only epitaph be a footnote in an old file." "I know, "agent lost, betrayed."" " Yeah." "That's what it says." " I know." "Terminal betrayal...." "[AMANDA SIGHS]" "Wait, I never told you I was 24 then." " Oh." " You read that file." "I used Francine's card." "Come on, I know I don't have clearance but I was so worried about you." "Look, you won't talk to anybody and you act like you're Superman and you're not." "You're just a man but you're really a pretty special man." " Hey, I'm sorry." " No, don't be." "It's important to me that you care." "So why did Paul Barnes give you the code name Scarecrow?" "[CHUCKLES]" "You'll have to ask the Wizard." "Ten years ago, Paul Barnes was the Wizard equal parts hocus pocus, black magic, and pure bull." "He formed the Oz Network as a special task force to handle any crisis." "When he picked me for it, it was like being drafted by the Yankees." "It was the best." "The other team members were codenamed Dorothy and Tinman." "They had a line on a Soviet operation stealing anti-tank missiles from Fort Meade." "The missiles were hidden in boxes of greenhouse roses and flown out of Silver Springs Airport." "Tinman went undercover with the Russians he was with them when we brought the hammer down." "Dorothy!" "And Dorothy died there with all those roses on the ground." "That's why the smell of them makes me sick." " Come on." " Yeah." "I swore to her then I'd find the one who sold us out and make him pay." "Is it possible that it could have been the Wizard?" "It's a good question." "He never quite pulled out of it." "We all assume that's why he drifted off." "It's not the same Wizard I knew." " So you never found out who it was." " No." "It's a good chess move though, killing Tinman and Dorothy nearly shutting down the Oz Network for good." "It's a kind of play I'd expect from Serdeych." "Heartless." " Yeah." " Yeah." "Amanda I'm really glad I told you, you know that?" "I'm getting a clearer picture in my head." "You know, maybe that's where Dorothy really is." "Maybe you ought to talk to someone." " I thought that's what I was doing." " No." "I mean, talk to someone." " I don't mean just anyone." "Talk to some" " Yeah, you mean a shrink." "You don't have to call him a shrink." "Don't you have a doctor at the agency somebody who understands the way an agent's mind works when he's under pressure?" "Maybe he could tell you something you'd never find out by yourself." "[CHUCKLES]" "Yeah." "It just might." "PFAFF:" "I call it, "trying to keep the cork in the bottle."" "It's the best I can hope for." "Pressure is bound to build up in you guys and I try to let it off a little at a time before you blow." "Do we always blow?" "No, it's a delicate thing and I try to watch for signs read the tea leaves, try to stick you behind a desk." "You ever miss?" "You know, let it go on too long and then what?" "Kaboom." "Ha, ha." "That's the technical term." " Did you want the couch?" " No." "Good." "Are there signs, signals?" "Ha." "Signals?" "You guys are all spooks." "I almost have to use a divining rod like a water witch." " You want some ice cream?" " No." "It's delicious." "Man." "This is the weirdest butterfly I've ever seen." "Butterfly?" "Interesting." "What about my pledge to avenge Dorothy?" "Is that ticking away in me?" "Sure." "Vengeance is very corrosive just like, uh, guilt, envy" "Envy." "Yeah, let's talk about envy for a second." "A younger agent, say, who still has what you've lost." "You mix it up with some guilt maybe an old betrayal or two." "The death of an agent who trusted you, the death maybe you caused." "Hmm." "Nasty." "You sure?" "Doc, will you quit with your tutti-frutti?" "Tell me, what does he do?" " We speaking hypothetical?" " Yes." "Anything." "A man with that much weight on his mind is liable to do anything at all." " What triggers it?" " A hang nail, a button off his shirt." "One day the cork pops out of the bottle." "And he just keeps going along, getting older and slower..." " ...until...." " Kaboom." "BILLY:" "You want a little of this?" "AMANDA:" "No, sir." "Just some water." "BILLY:" "Water." " Yes, sir." "I'm sorry." "I'm so shaky." "I know it isn't very professional." "Hey, it's okay Amanda." "Only amateurs don't shake." "The good news is he wasn't trying to kill you." "It was too close to miss." "You see." "It fits." "It all fits." "We can't get a ballistics match on the bullets." " We don't have fingerprints." "What fits?" " The attacks are getting closer to me." "It's like a spiral." "Don't you see that?" "He didn't even know who Amanda was before." " Now she's the target." " Hold it." "Hold it." "No accusations unless you can't back them up." " How about that red mask?" " Assassins often wear masks." "Uh, excuse me." "This was a red hockey mask, just like the ones the men wore who killed Dorothy." "You're seeing Dorothy." "Maybe you're both hallucinating." "Paul Barnes was in every city on the day of every murder." "I would call that a 100 percent correlation, not a hallucination." "Okay, so, what about a motive?" "He's snapped, how about that?" "Barnes is a perfectionist, or at least he was." "Look at how many of his recent missions have gone south." "Five, six." "No, he's losing it." "He's scared." "He's getting revenge on somebody he fears and envies." "It's me." "How about you?" "You calm enough to go home?" "We have a team on the house." "If you don't mind my saying so a blown-out windshield is not a hallucination." "I know." "I'm just glad you're all right." "When are we picking him up?" "Run him through the ringer." "You're talking about Paul Barnes." " We need more than that." " Do you mind if I get more than that?" "Yes, I mind." "You don't exactly appear to be humming with mental health." "You're seeing people, remember?" "You need rest." "Take Amanda home and then get some sleep." "That's an order." "Come on." "MAN [ON STEREO]:" "Bullets ricochet around you their hot breath on your face." "You've been there before." "You respond instinctively with the right phrase:" "[MAN SPEAKS IN RUSSIAN]" "[IN ENGLISH] Do you remember it?" "If not, refer to Tape Number 3 before you go to Moscow." " What's that about--?"

" I want to tell you something." "I think it is a wonderful idea that you're learning Russian." "With all the poets and the dancers coming over here..." " ...you could land yourself an artist." " Mm-hm." "There's more cocoa on the stove if you want it." " Thank you, Mother." " Darling, if you find out why the Russians feed caviar to their hogs, let me know." "You'll be first to know, yes, Mother." "Good night." " Love you." " Sweet dreams." "Mm." "Find anything interesting?" "Come here." "Get over there." "LEE:" "You wanna explain the red hockey" "Barnes is good." "He's early." "Stetson's still in there." "He anticipated your move, Serdeych." "He could convince Stetson." "Never." "I know Stetson will end it here." "I've aimed him at Barnes like a gun." "He'll do my work for me." "Barnes nearly had you more than once." "Why not just kill him yourself?" "Because I want Barnes remembered as a killer not as the man who nearly caught Serdeych." "Wait." "Whatever you found was planted." "Including my psych profile?" "Look, three of my agents were killed." "They all knew you." "Oh, that's good." "That's proper technique in a situation like this." "You put your adversary on the defense." "I learned that from you, Paul." "Are we adversaries?" "I thought we were both after the same adversary:" "Serdeych." "Well, maybe I just found him." "Maybe I should just kill him." "[BEEPS]" "LEE [ON MACHINE]:" "This is Lee Stetson." "I'm not home so leave your name and number." "[BEEPS]" "AMANDA [ON MACHINE]:" "Lee, it's me." "Um, it's about 11:30."

"Sorry, I had to take you out but you were too close." "We're being used, manipulated, and pretty damn well too." "You know who makes that his specialty." "But why?" "Serdeych wants you to take me out." "That way he destroys my credibility and the Oz Network too, while he stays in the clear." "He's scared because I'm about to nail him." "We gotta talk." "We can't let it end like this." "Let's meet." "Where this all started, where we all got deflowered." "Please." "[BEEPS]" "Got to get back to...." "Toto...." "Tinman hasn't got a heart." " Mom."

"PAUL:" "Scarecrow!" "Barnes." "You said you wanted to talk." "You're going to show yourself or what?" "PAUL:" "We can talk like this." "I'm learning a new side to Paul Barnes, the Wizard as coward."
