"DURRAN:" "You will only get 15 seconds, gentlemen." "The air conditioning automatically seals." "You've got to get the gas into the ducts." "Miss by one second and we all end up dead." "I'm paying you to kill them, not get killed yourself." "Let's do it again." "Remember, gentlemen, our objective is Level F, the main A.C. plant." "Regardless of where we break in, you will have only 15 seconds." "Questions?" "Let's do it." "MAN 1:" "All right, you heard Mr. Durran." "Let's reload." "Full clips, dummy gas, everything." "Position one, 15 minutes." "MAN 2:" "All right, let's move!" "MAN 1:" "Yeah." "[MEN SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY]" "MAN 1:" "Let me take care of that one." "You get the other one." "All right, get them reloaded." "BILLY:" "The driver tried to outrun the D.C. police after being stopped for a minor traffic violation." "He was DOA at the George Washington University Hospital." "Chemical warfare agents, G-S gas to be exact." "Phew, nasty stuff." "Yeah, also plastiques and blueprints, that's pretty interesting cargo." "It sounds like someone's getting ready for a break-in." "So, what do you do with a vanload of G-S gas?" "Almost anything you want." "Question is, where?" "The lab people are gonna be able to help us on that." "Here's a piece of the blueprint that was in the back of the van." "LEE:" "What's a Seaforth 900?" "Security system made exclusively for government offices." "Look, I'll run a check on it and find out who's got one." "Lee, see what you can dig up on the street." "Be careful, be quick." "Blueprints, chemical weapons, mercenaries." "Whatever it all means, we've got to stop it." "Did you know your fern has scales?" "LEE:" "I don't have time to worry about my fern." " Out, out, out." " Sorry." "I gotta clear my calendar and get out in the field." " Here, I'm sorry." " Yeah, thank you." " Okay." "Let me help you with it." " Yeah." "All right." "Let's see." "What today?" "Today you have, uh, Polish Embassy at 10:00." " That's a dance lesson, I can skip that." " Skipped." " Uh, lunch with Kelso at noon." " Uh, forget that, he won't show." "I'll call him just to be polite." "He won't show." "He was deported last week." " Skip that one." " Yeah." " You have Birchwood at 1:00." " Oh, yeah." "No, I've gotta go there." "I missed last week." "What's Birchwood?" "That's the future, Amanda, if we're lucky." "Yep." "There are over 300 retirees out here." "All of them from the intelligence community, most from the agency." "AMANDA:" "Oh." " It's a real special place." " I can see that." " It's written all over your face." "LEE:" "Yeah?" "Heh." "I get a kick out of coming out here to visit." "You know, there's something about it, about the people." "Something about them makes me feel very good." "Oh." " Lee!" "LEE:" "Oh, it's the Mendlesons." "Hi, Lois." "Hi Glynnis." "Lois makes the best banana bread in D.C and Glynnis is the captain of the volleyball team." " You're kidding." " No." "LOIS:" "Lee Stetson." " Ladies." "LOIS:" "You didn't come last week." " Oh." "GLYNNIS:" "You look like you've been working too hard again." " Well, I guess I have, heh." "LOIS:" "I've been baking all week." "Oh, look at this." "Good thing, he's wasting away." "Where have you been?" "I'm sorry, I got all tied up last week." "Business, you know." "Say no more." "You aren't going to tell us anyway." "Not only has he lost weight, but he's forgotten his manners." "Oh, I'm sorry, ladies." "This is Amanda King." " Hello." "LOIS:" "Hi." " Uh, she's with us." " Oh, you're a niece." " I, uh" " Oh, I'm a nephew." " Oh?" " And I am an uncle." "Hello, Rupert." " Lee, I need to talk to you, son." " Uh, certainly, sir." "Um, oh, I'd like you to meet Amanda King." "Amanda, this is Rupert Simpson." " She's my partner, Rupert." " Hello." "Nice to meet you." "It's serious this time, Lee." "Yes, I know, Rupert." "It always is." "Hold on, Rupert." "He's visiting us now." "He's gonna get his bread." " I got to have a talk" " Uh, hold on, Rupert." "You're gonna start a war here." "I'll tell you what, you get started with Amanda I'll visit with Lois and Glynnis and I'll catch up to you later, okay?" " I can't stay very long anyway." " Oh, we could have guessed." " I'm a pretty good listener." "GLYNNIS:" "Watch it, Amanda." "Rupert is our resident lothario." "He has eyes for anything that wears a skirt." "No, this is business, Lee." "I'm not kidding." "I told you, Rupert, she's my partner." " Well, all right." "Come on." "AMANDA:" "Thank you." "LEE:" "Ladies, shall we?" "Ha, ha." "LOIS:" "Yeah." "Oh, look at all these goodies." "[LEE GRUNTS]" "Oh, Lois, what did you bake for me?" "Look at this." "Look at this chocolate-covered...." "[SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY]" " Well?" " You ever seen..." " ...the Invasion of the Body Snatchers?" " Uh, no." "Well, we got a live performance of it out here." "Somebody's taking people away in the middle of the night." "Then they bring them back." "Now, I talked to some of the people who got taken away." "They can't remember a thing." "Mr. Simpson, I really don't think I understand all of this." "Well, of course you don't." "Neither do I, not yet." "You give me your phone number and keep in touch." "Yes, sir." "Uh...." "Happy to do that." "LEE:" "Amanda, believe me Lois makes banana bread, Glynnis makes peach brandy..." " ...and Rupert fabricates stories." " But you won't even listen to the story." " I've heard 100 of them." " Hear one more." "Why?" "Look, the last time he told me Jimmy Hoffa was hiding in the bungalow next to him." "The guy turned out to be an ex-FBI undercover plumber from East Jersey City." "He could be telling the truth this time." " He just might be telling the truth." " Yeah, yeah." " Amanda?" "AMANDA:" "Yeah?" " Have some bread." "AMANDA:" "Oh." " All right." "LEE:" "Thank you." "LEE:" "T.P., you're plugged in." "What's the scuttlebutt?" "Food for thought." "An overworked and undervalued little phrase but so delightfully succinct and so perfectly right." "There's nothing like a potpourri of gastronomic delights from the East to clear out the mental cobwebs." "Uh, marinated sea anemone?" "T.P., I'm here to talk about mercenaries, not sea anemone." " Now, what's going on stateside, huh?" " It's interesting you should ask." "It seems that, uh, Mr. Murder for Money himself is in town." "Frank Durran." " Durran's in D.C.?" " It does display a certain élan, doesn't it?" "Ace agent gone wrong, suddenly returns to his old stomping ground." "Very romantic." "LEE:" "Why is he here?" " It's hard to say." "But he's engaged in some highly selective recruiting and he's paying top dollar." "Oh, and something called Pyramid's been mentioned." " A code name, I suppose." "Mean anything?" " No." "T.P.:" "Hmm." "No, but I'll get on it." "Is there anything else?" "Mm, nothing at the moment but I'll continue to sift through the tea leaves." "Oh, along the same subject, Lee there's a Turkish coffee house I frequent this time of day." "Uh, my man Ishmal brews a remarkably stimulating concoction." "He calls it coffee but it's so very much more." " Perhaps I could interest you?" " Oh, no." "Thank you, I'm still on the clock." "But, uh, go easy on Ishmal's brew, huh?" "I may still need you." "[LAUGHS]" "Mm." "[PHONE RINGS]" " Hello?" "RUPERT:" "Amanda, it's Rupert." " Hi, Rupert." "RUPERT:" "You gotta get out here." "Uh, Rupert, slow down a little bit, please." "I can't slow down." "The night pirates are here." " What are you talking about?" "RUPERT:" "What do you mean?" "You were here this afternoon." "What did Lee say?" "Well, um, Lee told me a story about a plumber from East Jersey." "He didn't believe me." "It's not that he didn't believe you." "It's just that...." "I think he thinks you have kind of an active imagination." "That's all." "You think this old man is imagining what I'm looking at right now." " No, I'm sure you're not." "RUPERT:" "You don't have to humor me." "I wouldn't do that." "Then prove me a liar and get out here right now." " I'm on my way." " Good." " Rupert." " Shh." "I sure could go for a cup of hot tea right now." "You still don't believe me, huh?" "[DOOR OPENS]" "This ain't your normal night crew." "They're using the same modus operandi as the last time." "This time, they got Lois Mendleson." "Maybe it's some kind of standard procedure." "Nothing standard about any of this." "[ENGINE STARTS]" "Lois likes her sack time, believe me." "People are being doped with sleeping pills that they're handing out and then hustled off in the middle of the night." "And you're a witness." " I think it's time to call Lee." " Now you're talking." "Mr. Simpson, I'm sorry." "I just can't do that." "Howard, I pay your meal ticket." "Now, stop screwing around and open up that bungalow." "Mr. Simpson, you've already got me in enough trouble this month already." " Please go to bed." " Howard, I'll take full responsibility." "Heh, ma'am, you're not even supposed to be here." "[GASPS]" "Look, here comes Mr. Stetson." "He can straighten this whole thing out and I know he'll be anxious to." " Hello, Lee." "Thanks so much for coming." " Amanda, it is after midnight." "Now, what is going on here?" " They're hauling people out in vans." " They took Lois Mendleson." " Lois?" "Where?" "AMANDA:" "Yes." "Nowhere." "I've been here all night." "If a van would've went by, I would've seen it." "You were probably sound asleep." "Now, give me the keys and open up the bungalow." "Please." "Oh." "Look, uh, Howard I know this is very unusual, but will you humor us?" "Please let us see the bungalow." " All right." " Oh, good." "Thank you so much." "Oh, this is really the right thing to do." "With Durran in town, I'm bumping this to an Alpha Two alert immediately." " You think he's connected to that van?" " And the G-S gas." "He's planning a hit, probably in D.C., but where?" "I sent a fax to Seaforth Alarms this morning." " And?" "FRANCINE:" "Well, good news and bad." "They say it looks like their system, but said he installed nearly 200 similar systems here in D.C." " Two hundred?" " Yeah." " He couldn't be more specific?" " He's trying to make a match of it now." "BILLY:" "Stay on top of it." "Right now, Code Pyramid is our best bet." "I want you to pull every file that might give us a clue." "Start cross-referencing with State, Interpol, NSA." "Somebody's gotta know something about this." " Yeah." "BILLY:" "Progress reports at noon." "All right." "LEO:" "I'm asking for a timetable, that's all." " We finish when we finish, Leo." "LEO:" "Heh." " It's like panning for gold." "Who knows when you're gonna find the nugget?" " You haven't been able to find it yet." " That's my problem." "You just sit still and shut up." "Now, you listen to me." "They can track those names through my policy lists." " I'm the one who's exposed." " Right up to your little eyeballs, pal." "You sold your soul, Leo, for a lot of money." "Now you gotta learn to live with the devil." "Yeah, not me." "But sometimes I think you might enjoy it." " Uh, maybe you never had a soul." " Maybe you're right." "You just remember one thing, little buddy." "The people you work for don't put escape clauses in their contracts." "[KNOCKS ON DOOR]" "Yeah." "[SIGHS]" "Okay." "Look, I'll start." "I'm sorry about what happened at Birchwood last night." " But I really think that maybe" " Stop right there." "I am up to my ears here." "I've got a top-priority scramble." "Let's discuss Rupert's delusions later, okay?" "Neither one of us are having delusions." "We both saw the van." "Okay, okay, you both saw the van." "You don't believe me." "But, look I took the names of all the people Rupert said had been abducted ran them through the computer." "Know what?" " What?" " They all worked for the agency." "Now, first of all, no one was abducted at Birchwood." "[SIGHS]" "And a lot of people at the home worked at the agency." "Yes, that's true." "But every single one of them was working on the same project at the same time in the early '60s, including Rupert." " On the same project?" " Something called, um, uh, Code Pyramid." "Now, do you know what the odds are of all those people working on that project that many years ago being in the same retirement home now?" " About a million-to-1." " The computer said three-million-to-1." "Rupert gave me the sleeping pills they're giving to some people at Birchwood." " So I took them to the lab" " Under whose authorization?" "Yours." "I initialed the forms for you, you were so busy." " But the results are pretty interesting." " Heh." "BZ?" "In sleeping pills?" "What is BZ?" "That stuff could bring an elephant to its knees." "This is good work, Amanda, really good work." "The question is, what the heck is Code Pyramid?" "All right." "Code Pyramid was an intra-agency project from 1962 to 1963." "But the file is all wiped clean, except for a roster of all the team members." "According to Rupert's file, he worked in the Fabrication Unit." "Now, it had something to do with him being an engineer." "Does any of that help?" "Uh, it's hard to say but all I can tell from this is that all the team members are retired, except for Ray Packer." "He's still working for us in Acquisitions." "But, sir, I'm not authorized to discuss classified information with anyone." "I appreciate your position, Packer." "But this is a Delta Green priority and it's getting hotter by the minute." "But Code Pyramid was strictly conducted on a need-to-know basis." "If we had time to push this through proper clearance channels we would but we don't." "Come on, man, this is a Delta Green." "If I tell you anything about this project, I'd be violating my national security oath." "I'd be breaking the law." "Ray, this is a matter crucial to national security." "It's imperative that we know what Pyramid is all about." "I can't say anything." "But during the period between 1962 and 1963 I often wrote these words on an order form." "Thanks, Ray, thanks a lot." "If anyone in this office tries to connect me with the information on that paper I'll deny it." "I normally write left-handed, sir." "From March of 1962 through July of 1963 I personally ordered 27,000 feet of fluorescent tubes signed with an X." "Code Pyramid was a top-secret operation to order overhead lighting?" "[BILLY SIGHS]" "No, obviously this project was compartmentalized." "Everybody worked independently of each other so no one knew what the overall project was about." "I can't believe it." "Top secret, need-to-know clearance to order lighting." "WOMAN [OVER PHONE]:" "Birchwood." " Uh, Rupert Simpson." "WOMAN:" "Just a moment." "If anybody knows anything, it's" "RUPERT:" "Simpson here." "Mm-hm." " Hello, Rupert?" " Yeah, it's Lee Stetson." "RUPERT:" "Hello, Lee." "Um, Rupert, could you tell me if you know anything about a Code Pyramid?" "Why are you asking me that?" "LEE:" "Rupert, maybe it might have something to do with your night pirates." "I'm sorry, Lee." "Pyramid was a need-to-know project." "LEE:" "Come on, Rupert." "We already know about the fluorescent lighting." "Uh-oh." "Someone cracked." "Not me though." "Mm-mm." "Nope, I'm sorry." "He hung up on me." "Get out there and deal with him face-to-face." "Tell him that our need to know is a hell of a lot bigger than his." "And take Amanda with you, in case he doesn't wanna talk to you." "[VAN DOOR OPENS]" "[GASPS]" "[VAN DOOR CLOSES]" "AMANDA:" "Lee, look." "That's the van Rupert and I saw last night." "LEE:" "Well, then let's see where it's going tonight, huh?" "LEE:" "Ah, it doesn't look like there's an easy way in." "Get on the phone to Billy." "Fill him in on what we've seen." " What are you gonna do?" " I'm gonna try to get a peek inside." " Be careful." " Mm-hm." "WOMAN [OVER PHONE]:" "IFF, may I help you?" "Amanda King, special clearance." "Could you patch me through to Mr. Melrose?" "WOMAN:" "Hold for clearance, please." " I'll wait while you check." "[DOGS BARKING IN DISTANCE]" "[PHONE RINGING]" " Melrose here." " Hello, sir, it's Amanda." "I'm sorry, sir, did I wake you up?" "Uh, yes, Amanda, you woke me up but it's not the first time." " What's going on?" " Well, sir when Lee and I got to Birchwood we saw the van that Mr. Simpson and I saw last night." "And so we followed it to a place called Blue Star Insurance." "We think the night pirates have kidnapped somebody else." " Night pirates?" "AMANDA:" "Yes, sir." "That's what Simpson calls them." "What should we do?" "BILLY:" "Follow procedure." "A situation report, please, now." "Are you sure someone has been kidnapped?" " No, sir." " Well, is anyone's life in jeopardy?" " I don't know, sir." " Is this clearly a matter of national security?" " Not clearly, sir." "No, sir." " Then don't do anything, Amanda." " No, sir?" "BILLY:" "No." "Take some casing pictures, snoop around a little bit but don't tip your hand." " I'll meet you at the agency." " Yes, sir." "Thank you, sir." "Sorry I woke you up, sir." "LEE:" "Durran." "Oh, Rupert, what are you into now?" "DURRAN:" "The time is 1962." " You are working for the agency." "RUPERT:" "Yeah." "On a project code-named Pyramid." "Pyramid, secret project classified." "Yes, that's true, Mr. Simpson, then." "But it has long since been declassified." "Matter of fact, I've obtained much of what I know from the Freedom of Information Act." "For instance, I know you were very important to the project." "I want you to tell me." "I was the project construction coordinator." "Put the whole thing together, did a damn good job too." "He's the one we've been waiting for." "Details, Mr. Simpson, I need details." "Tell me how you built Pyramid." "Concept came from the Pyramid of Giza, see and we were like the pharaoh's engineers." "Made the place strong as a pyramid from the front." "And then when the work was done we snuck out the back door just like they did." "Clever, huh?" "Ha, ha." "Yes, very clever, Mr. Simpson, very clever." "Now, what is the back door?" "Well, the last wall we built, couldn't fortify it so we had to be real careful about hiding it." " But you know where it is." "RUPERT:" "Of course I do." "I built it." "Yeah." "Yeah." "Yeah, that's right, I agree." "I'll get back to you if anything develops." "What do we do?" "We sit tight and keep an eye on things here." "Billy's at the agency, pulling everything he can on Blue Star." "What about Rupert?" "No one who's been kidnapped has been hurt, right?" " Right." " So we go with the odds on this one." "Oh." "No telling what might happen if we make a move." " I hate just sitting here." " I know." "I know how you feel but...." "Well, Rupert will be a lot safer if we don't provoke them." "[SIGHS]" " Hmm?" "Okay." " Okay." " Can you see anything?" " Nah." "Let me have a look." " I can't see a thing." " Heh." "This old man has just found the needle in our haystack, Atkins." "The weak wall is on Level F." "It has taken me 20 years to figure out this Pyramid." "Thank you, Rupert Simpson." "I don't like it." " What if he remembers something?" " No, he's harmless." "He worked for them." "What if he tipped someone over there, mentioned Pyramid?" "Broke his oath of secrecy?" "Wouldn't have made him pharaoh's engineer..." " ...if he was prone." " What are you gonna do?" "This little booster is gonna make Mr. Simpson so addle-brained he won't be able to string together two coherent sentences for the next week." "It's cleaner than murder, and just as effective." "All right." "Get him out." "Now, come on, loosen up, mate, the fun's about to begin." "Fun?" "My God, what a curious word to use." "Hey, I've paid you for the full ride, Atkins." "It's too late for second thoughts, way too late." "I wish I'd used my head before I got involved with the agency." "In a little less than 10 hours the agency will cease to be a problem for anyone." "[ENGINE STARTS]" "[DOOR CLOSES]" "Rupert." "Rupert, wake up." "[GASPS]" "What's wrong?" "Did I miss breakfast?" "Oh, I always sleep in my uniform so as to be the first one in the latrine and the mess hall." "Rotten food, but there sure is lots of it." " Rupert, are you all right?" "RUPERT:" "Oh, of course." "Fit as a fiddle." "Slept like a log." "Do I know you?" "Where the devil am I?" "Oh, ho, ho, I'm in the wrong barracks." "[RUPERT GRUNTS]" " Right, left, left, right, left." "AMANDA:" "Rupert." "RUPERT:" "Left, left...." "AMANDA:" "Rupert!" "Rupert!" "How is he?" "Let's skip the exotic psychological gibberish." "Most of us exist in three dimensions." "Right now, Mr. Simpson's drifting in and out of four or five." "LEE:" "What did they do to him?" "Blood analysis indicates substantial traces of trimethylechlorodihydrate." "But you...." "More gibberish, sorry." "It's a, uh, psychoactive drug administered as a gas that does a terrific and non-lethal job of scrambling the brain." "Lasts for about a week, give or take a day, but no lingering effects." " There's no antidote?" " No, just time." "Can we get any information from him?" "You can talk to him all you want, he'd love it." "He'll probably drive you nuts." "RUPERT:" "You." "Ah." "I left orders to tape every word Rupert mutters." "He could babble for a week without saying anything." " I feel we don't have that much time." " You're right." "Back to Birchwood, pick their brains about Code Pyramid." "We don't need information about fluorescent bulbs." "Yes, sir." "Get on the horn to that clown at Seaforth and have him here at the agency ASAP with some answers." "I've got a team waiting for us over at Blue Star Insurance." " We'll blow the lid off that place." "LEE:" "All right." "Come on, move it." "I wanna be through that wall by shift change." "BILLY:" "Jackson, the side door." "Smith, Allen, seal the back." "Nobody in or out." "Let's move it, people." "We understand that your company provided health insurance for an agency project in 1962." "Yes." "Well, it's been a while and we handle numerous government contracts but I'm sure Mr. Atkins could fill you in." "He's our senior account executive." "He probably handled those contracts." "He did most of them in the '60s." "Well, his office is that way." "Right this way." "I can assure you that everything is in order." "Blue Star has always stood for the highest degree of professionalism and integrity." "Leo?" "[GASPS]" "BILLY:" "Mrs. Dell, just try to be calm." "Everyone in position." "All right, gentlemen, it is now 4:50." "I wanna be inside precisely at 5:50." "Let's go." "Shake a leg, Scarecrow." "I told Mrs. Dell to have the metro Homicide boys send their preliminary reports straight to your office." "We'll have to give them some official oil about why we left the scene and about why we copped some evidence." "Protocol is the least of our worries." "We can't hang around here." "Finding Atkins' killer is not gonna help us either." "I saw Atkins with Durran." "So at least we know how Durran got his list of the Pyramid team." "What kind of lead is 550?" "Is it a number, a code, a time?" "And how do we find out?" "The only way to find the open sesame is to crack Rupert or one of the others." " This case is aptly named, you know that?" " Yeah." " What's the riddle about the Pyramids?" " Uh, you're thinking of the Sphinx." "Uh, what walks on four legs when it's young, two when it's grown...?" "And three when it's old?" "LEE:" "You got it." "I supervised a menu for a 24-hour work cycle nonstop, go, go, go." "Okay, Miss Mendleson, I have that." "Protein, energy food, that's the main thing." "No junk." "You can't expect people to give you their best on potato chips." "Miss Mendleson, do you know where they used your menus?" "We don't need to know." "That's the agency way." "That's right." "Well, thank you very much for your help." "I hope maybe some day I can come back and tell you what this is all about." " But in the meantime" " Mum's the word." "Don't worry, dear." "We know all about it." " Keep trying, Amanda." "AMANDA:" "Yes, sir." "Um, Rupert, Rupert." "Mr. Izenstein supervised the formulation of a high fiber content weave for a new carpet and they produced 11 square acres of it in South Carolina." "Yeah, the carpeting, Rupert." "Tell us what you were going to use the carpet for." "Question was whether to use carpet at all." "Uh, I had to fight that one, I can tell you." "I'm sure you did and you had good reason." " Couldn't make them see that." " Who, Rupert?" "The bigwigs, the stuffed shirts the pencil sharpeners, uh, the guys in the suits." "Uh...." "What was the question?" "What else?" "Something else you found out might grab him." " All right, Rupert." "RUPERT:" "Huh." "Um, Mr. Olney designed the ventilation system and he based it on an aircraft carrier with the inflow and outflow and residual" "[SNORES]" "Rupert?" " Rupert." "The air conditioning." " Rupert." "This is the design for the Pyramid." "Do you recognize it?" "Air conditioning?" "What do I know about air conditioning?" "That was Olney's baby." "Ask him." " More, Amanda, come on, come on." "AMANDA:" "Yes, sir." "Rupert, did you know that Washington sits on an alluvial plain above a granite base called the Appalachian Spar?" "RUPERT:" "Ah!" " Uh-huh." "Hmm...." "Good rock." "We had to blast the dickens out of that stuff." "Boy, do you get a nice hole in the ground, solid." " Digging." " Basements." "The White House war room, the new facility was built in the '60s." "'68." "Shh." "We put a G model in there." " You ID'd the blueprint?" " We were up all night." "Doug Lewis from Seaforth Alarms." "He just got in on a flight." "Studied all the Seaforth 900s in the country, '63 to the present Model A to the latest, the T." "It's not there." " No match." " Wait, it's gotta be." "It said Seaforth 900 as plain as can be." "Best damn alarm money can buy." "More transistors than Carter has pills." "[SCOFFS]" "The beauty." "Oh, I'm sure it is, Rupert." "Why don't you tell us about it?" "Eleven levels of sensors closed-loop system, indestructible." "Oh, cost six million to develop..." " [MOUTHS] Six million?" "RUPERT:...but I said it's worth it." "You don't go to all this trouble to hide things and not be secure." "Oh, you sure don't." "But why did it cost so much money, Rupert?" "It was the prototype, the first one." "Yeah." "Serial number 0-0-0." "My God, the prototype." "I never thought of the prototype." "Who would?" "I only looked for the production series." "Think, man, where is it?" "You're standing on it." "Pyramid is the agency?" "WOMAN [OVER PA]:" "All personnel, this is not a drill." "Evacuate to the street immediately." "[ALARM WAILING]" "Where is Durran going to hit us?" "How's he gonna get in here?" "No way in unless you're invited." "Just like a pyramid." "Bedrock walls, sealed ventilation low energy lighting, lasers in the elevator shafts." "We got it all." "Durran knows a way in." "I don't see how." "It's my secret." "Yeah, I was the last one out the day we buttoned her up." "We needed some way to take out the heavy gear." "The only weak spot, a little bolt hole just like the pharaoh's engineers did." "Yeah, that's me, pharaoh's engineer for the whole damn place." "The only one who knows." "Not anymore, my friend." "Atropine, it's the only antidote for chemical attack." " For G-S?" " No, not specifically for Soviet T-series nerve toxins." "But it's similar." "It might work, it might not." "Rupert, please, this is very, very important." "Please, try to remember where the weak spot is." "I can't remem...." "Oh, yeah, yeah, I know." "Level F, Sector 17."
