"[CHATTERING]" "[GUNSHOTS]" "[INAUDIBLE DIALOGUE]" "[BARKING]" "[GROWLING]" "[GRUNTING]" "That's all I remember of my weekend." " We take your car, we'll have room for skis." " I thought we were gonna rent skis." " They don't rent them at Pine Top." " I thought we were going to Oak Valley." "I changed the reservations." "You are gonna love Pine Top." "Oh, I am?" "Yeah." "Indoor tennis." "It's fantastic." "This is the first chance we've had to get away." "I just want us to have a good time." "AMANDA:" "Oh." " Excuse me." "Briefing's been postponed." " Till when?" " Indefinitely." " Billy put himself in a lockout." " He did what?" "He had to." "Metro picked him up at 3:00 this morning in a skid row alley." "He can't remember how he got there." "Shouldn't there be a task force to look for breaches?" "A task force is put into effect when a field agent loses track of time." "Billy's administration." "All right." "Thanks, Francine." "Let me know if I can help." "Okay?" " Yeah." " Sure." "Only one or two agents are allowed in an administration lockout." "One." "Two." "You got it." " Okay, cough." " What?" "That was a joke, Melrose." "[KNOCKING ON DOOR]" "[JOYCE SIGHS]" " Doc, how's he doing?" " Lousy." "He's got no sense of humor, he's impatient." " How do you feel, sir?" " I'm fine." "Physically." "Mentally, you can throw in the whole enchilada." "It looks like Thornton's Repression." "Old man Thornton developed a technique for agents to repress information in case they were captured." "Billy repressed the entire weekend." "Any chance this is just a bump on the head and simple amnesia?" "You know, Stetson, you bug me." "He's got restraint marks on his wrists, needle marks on his arm." "If this was Patterson in Payroll I'd put it down as another kinky weekend but it's not, and I've got 6 bucks says I'm gonna find remnants of some trace of truth serum cuddled up against his corpuscles." "All I know is somebody pushed me hard for something and I don't know what, who or why." "You don't remember anything at all, sir?" "Just a bunch of mixed-up images." " Bears." " Bears." "A symbol of courage and strength." "What else?" "Skeletal remains." "Personification of death." "You know, I think there's a sexual thing there too." "I'll look it up." "There are the files I've been supervising." "Yeah." "Amanda, look, why don't you get started on the lower-clearance end?" " I'll catch up with you in a minute." "Okay?" "AMANDA:" "Right." "Oh, Amanda, dig deep." "If I've compromised an agent out there, we have to know." "Something in those files might be the key." "Yes, sir." "Billy, you've got to give us something more than bones and bears." "Scarecrow, I haven't got anything more." "JOYCE:" "All right, you two, relax." "I think it's time we try a little subliminal reoccurrence motivation." "Claudia, what is that?" "It's basic psychology." "Any event, location, even a sound can shake up the gray matter and bring what's been repressed back to the conscious." "Now, let's start the whole weekend all over again." "All right." "Friday night I was here working on the budget." "All right, let's do it." "Come on, get to your desk and go to work." "Claudia, I sit behind this desk for 19 hours a day." " You need something more stimulating." " Friday nights." "Yeah, Friday nights." "You have a built-in location to stir up some memories." " Randy's." " Yeah." "BILLY:" "If I was here, I don't remember." "Well, of course you was in here." "Just like every Friday night." "What's the matter?" "The conversation too boring that you forgot?" "What did we talk about, Randy?" "Well, you was telling me how the wife was doing in Jersey." " She still visiting her cousin there?" " She'll be back next week." "I've been trying to get my wife to go away for 16 years." "[RANDY LAUGHING]" "Randy, did anything unusual happen to Billy last Friday night?" "Did he talk to anyone?" "Was there anyone with him?" "You know why I've been behind this bar for 34 years?" "I don't see past the beer spigot." " Did you see past it last Friday night?" " Nope." "Come on, Randy." "Jeez, Billy." "Okay." "You picked up a dame." "First time I ever saw you do something like that." "What did she look like?" "Well, you got good taste." "She's black, late 20's, about this tall." "She was coming on to you." "I don't blame you a bit." " Did you get a name?" " No." "You ordered some champagne and took off with her 10 minutes after she walked in." "Well, did either of us say where we were going?" "Well, I didn't think I should ask." "Thanks, Randy." "Yeah, sure." " Well, see you next Friday." " Yeah." "He's leaving now." "I understand." "We'll put it into motion." "It's not working, Lee." "It's not happening." "It will." "Just don't force it." "I'm gonna take a little walk and clear my head." "Well, are you sure?" " Yeah." "I'll be all right." "Honest." " Okay." " See you later at the agency." " Yeah." "[SIGHS]" "[TIRES SCREECHING AND HORNS HONKING]" "Excuse me, miss." "What are you doing here?" " Who are you?" " Stop it." "They'll see us." "Who will see us?" "Please." "Not here." "Call me." "[CAR ENGINE STARTS]" "Billy, what's going on?" "BILLY:" "The woman, her dress." "Lee, she knew me." "She thought I knew her." " Well, do you?" " Yeah." "No, no." "I'm not sure." "All right then." "I'll get a run on those plates." "Get a trace for this phone number." "AMANDA:" "Plates came up stolen." "LEE [OVER PHONE]:" "And the matchbook?" "There was only one country granted its independence on September 30th." " It's Estoccia." " Estoccia?" "At least we got something." "We'll run over to the embassy and have a look." "Right." "LEE:" "I don't get it, Billy." "Why was she driving a car with stolen plates?" "Watch yourself." "BILLY:" "Why did she give me a phone number for a bar in Fairbanks, Alaska?" "LEE:" "Let's hope this embassy will shake up some memories." "Excuse me." "Must have been some party." "I remember being upstairs." "I gotta get up there." "We're pushing our luck." "Excuse me, gentlemen." "The upper chambers are off-limits." "RASHIDI:" "I think Mr. Melrose is coming along rather nicely." "He remembered that he was on the second floor." "That's very good, Kimambo." "I don't like this game we're playing." " Because there are no needles?" " Needles loosen tongues." "The last hours of your interrogating Melrose with your drugs were useless." "He didn't even know where he was." "And this game of images will make him remember?" "I have played with the mind all my life." "Mr. Melrose is desperate to remember what happened to him this weekend." "We will give him his entire weekend and he will give us the 15 minutes he needed to hide Kalahari." "[BALLROOM MUSIC PLAYING OVER SPEAKERS]" "[DOTTY LAUGHING]" "[THUD]" "DOTTY:" "Watch it, captain." "Don't get too carried" "[GLASS SHATTERS AND CURT GROANS]" "DOTTY:" "Now, don't worry." "It doesn't stain." "I'll get something to clean it up with." "You find a tango." "I am just dying for a tango." "[DOTTY HUMMING]" "Hello, Mother." "You're really cooking." " Captain Curt and I were just talking." " I meant cooking in the kitchen." "Of course you meant in the kitchen." "It was just a impromptu dinner." "[SAMBA MUSIC PLAYING OVER SPEAKERS]" "The captain brought me this and some records." "Not a samba, a tango." "I didn't think you'd be home because the boys were with their father." "I shouldn't be." "I should be at the office working." "I could get a lot more done there." "You're right, Mother." " I shouldn't be at home." "I'm sorry." " Amanda, don't be silly." "Mother, I'm not being silly." "Of course you're being silly." "You think I'm being silly too." " No, I don't." " I cannot believe this is our third bowl of salsa." "[TANGO MUSIC PLAYING OVER SPEAKERS]" "Heh." "[DOTTY HUMMING]" "[CLEARS THROAT]" "Well, maybe it would be better if you did your work at the office." "Probably so." "Amanda, do you think I'm being silly?" "Mother, no." "He's being a perfect gentleman." "Now, look, I got a lot of work to do so, oh, gee, I'll probably be home real late." "You know, I mean, probably not before, you know, I don't know, 1, maybe 2:00." "Not that it makes any difference." "[SIGHS]" "[HUMMING]" "[KNOCKING ON DOOR]" "[CLEARS THROAT]" " Hello." " Hi." " Thought you might like company." " Yes, I sure would." " Good." " I'm getting cross-eyed looking at this computer." " Amanda, sit down for a second." " Yeah?" " I wanna talk about something." " What?" "Didn't change any plans, but you got me thinking this morning." "I forced you into this ski trip." " You didn't force me." " Yes, I did." "That's not our only option." "There are a lot of things to do." " I know that." " Skiing would be fine." " Yeah." " But I did some checking." "And before we nail it down, I want you to consider this." " Marathon Key?" " Sailing scuba diving, miles and miles of beaches." " Listen, this is really nice, but I really" " Exactly." "Crowds there this time of the year." "I thought the very same thing." "So how about this?" " Bar Harbor." " Maine?" " We could go fishing." " It's freezing." "You wanna go ice fishing?" " How about a houseboat?" " Oh, a houseboat." " Yeah." " You don't have to give me these choices." "No, I don't have to, but I wanna go on a trip where you'll have the most possible fun." "I'm gonna have the best possible time that I can have on a vacation just because I'm with you." "I don't need all of these choices." "I don't want all of these choices." "I don't wanna have to make a choice." "I wanna go skiing." "[KNOCKING ON DOOR]" " Are you sure?" " I'm sure." "[LEE CHUCKLES]" " Billy." " Hi, Lee." "LEE:" "Amanda and I were just burning the midnight oil." " Hello, sir." " Hello, Amanda." "LEE:" "You remember something?" "Yes, that woman today." "I'm getting things I'm supposed to get." "She didn't want me to call." "She knew I could trace the car." "Matchbook was the only thing that mattered." "My invitation to remember." " Do you think you're being set up?" " Somebody knows what I did this weekend." "It's being fed in pieces." "The largest is the embassy." "I'm going back." "I need your help." "We don't know if you've compromised anyone." "I have to keep opening doors until I find out for sure." "Lee, help me." "Help me find two hours, an hour, a day of my life." "You're sure?" "Good." "No, he should have no trouble getting in." "You've watched him very well, Kimambo." "Don't worry, Mr. Melrose will have a memorable experience." "[CHUCKLES]" "[LOCK CLICKS]" "Billy?" "This room, I've been here before." "And there's a safe here too." "Right over there." "I broke into this." "Damn it, why?" "Just take your time." "[ALARM RINGING]" "Come on." "[SOLDIERS SHOUTING IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE]" "Damn it!" "We gotta get out of here." "There's a gutter pipe down to the south lawn." " What?" " I've done it before." "[BANGING ON DOOR]" " Can they catch them?" " I don't think so." "Make sure they don't." "[CHUCKLES]" "[SOLDIERS SHOUTING IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE]" "[MACHINE GUN FIRING]" "What the hell was that about?" " Let's not hang around to find out." " Yeah." "Claudia, he is starting to remember." "Billy is getting close." "Yeah, close to the edge." "Boy, what a witches brew:" "thiopental, alcohol, methaqualone." "Boy, they did a number on him." " Did they break him?" " Well, they used a big enough hammer." "But I don't know, I've got a better question for you." "What?" "Is he stable?" "Yeah." "I gotta pull his badge." "Retire him?" "That's what I did with 12 of the last 15 with Thornton's Repression." "One lost weekend and you're gonna destroy his whole career?" "Max Bateman couldn't remember 15 minutes of his life." "Claudia, we don't know what made Bateman snap." "But we know that he killed seven men he was on stakeout with." "Look, don't pull him, huh?" "We're getting close to something." "I can see it in his eyes." " You want another Bateman out there?" " We'll stay with him every step of the way." "Stetson, you can't have friends in this business." "He's more than just a friend." "You know that." "And I know I've got a job to do." "Five years ago, she made the decision to keep Bateman in the field." "We'd better find Billy." "He's been at it all night." "He needs sleep." "I need to ID that girl I saw outside of Randy's." "Rack up another year's photos." " You've already been through six years." " So now I want to see seven." "Amanda's pulling another generation of files." " Is there anything else you want us to do?" "BILLY:" "Stay with the files." "The girl was at the embassy with me." "We ran, just like you and I did the other night." "Now she's out there somewhere scared and I've got to" " What is it?" " It's that same dress." "She wore that dress at the party." "Coroner's office has this woman listed as Jane Doe number 421." "She's not the same woman I saw yesterday but the resemblance is pretty damn coincidental." "It sure is." "This Jane Doe was found dead Friday night." "[PHONE RINGS]" "Melrose." "WOMAN [OVER PHONE]:" "I must talk to you." " Where?" " The mall in the park." " When?" " Ten minutes." "I'm on my way." "Billy." "Billy, I'm going with you." "Tapping my phones now?" "Don't you know what is going on?" "Dr. Joyce has you on surveillance." "You're about one heartbeat away from early retirement." "So why waste my time?" "You heard the woman." "Wants to meet me alone." "We did a background on the woman in the park." "No IDs, no labels in the clothing, no witnesses." "She was erased by a pro." " So now they're playing with me." " What--?" "What else can I do?" "They're my only window." "They're holding all the cards." "That doesn't mean you have to play by their rules, does it?" "Why can't we get a decent elevator around here?" "I know that Dr. Joyce is getting ready to pull me and I know you can prevent me from getting on this elevator." "I wanna help you." "The door wouldn't be open if I didn't already know that." "[LEE CHUCKLES]" "[DOG GROWLING]" "I swear, I don't know who she is." "Why are you showing me this?" "This woman was found dead Friday." "Why are you dressed like her?" "She must be from my region in Africa." "It is a traditional gown." "I was with a woman Friday dressed like this." "Yes." "You were with me." "No, no." "It wasn't you." "I'm Lanni." "Don't you remember?" "I was the only other person who knew about the Kalahari list." " The what?" " Mr. Melrose, please." "We are running out of time." "Is Kalahari safe?" "Billy, it's a trap!" "Run!" " We're not through talking, Lanni." " What?" "Lanni Jeans." "That's who I was with." "[BARKS]" "[GROWLING]" "[GRUNTS]" "Where are you hit?" "We gotta get out of here." " Who were they?" " I don't know." "Well, the woman's back there." "She's the key." "Come on." "Damn!" "The woman in front of Randy's, the embassy, the confrontation in the park they were all tricks to try to get you to remember those missing days." "No, no." "Not tricks." "Carefully set-up flashbacks." " You remember something else?" " Yeah." "Francine, inform the coroner that the body they found last Friday was that of a one Lanni Jeans." "Are you sure about that?" "BILLY:" "Yes, she took me to the list." "My job was to get it out of the safe." "She was an Estoccian operative in a lot of trouble." "I remember her." " And the Kalahari list?" " I had it." "That's all, I remember I had it." "They want you to remember what you did with it." "Fine." "Let's dig into the files and find out what it is." "I wouldn't know it if it hit me in the face." " Billy, you need to slow down." " I can't." " You need to." " I can't." "Listen, try to understand." "Twenty-nine years ago, I was a kid out of law school." "I had a decision to make." "To have a nice law practice in New York or to take a job as a counterintelligence agent that paid little more than sweat." "I don't know what kind of lawyer I might have been and I don't care because I do know that I made a pretty damn good agent." "And if there's somebody trying to take that away from me I'm gonna fight like hell to make that decision stick." "Gee, Billy, I think you would have made a lousy lawyer." "Oh, the worst." " Well, Mr. Rashidi, are you satisfied?" " As we agreed." "It feels about right for a couple of days' impersonation." "Kimambo will get you out of the country quietly." "What do you want me to tell your buyers?" "The Kalahari list will be on the market in 24 hours." "It seems to me that I passed that information once before." "Once before, I trusted my very young, very naive secretary whom you played so well." "This time it is for certain." "Your confidence is reassuring." "My confidence is a reflection of the opportunity at hand." "By this time tomorrow, Mr. Melrose will have handed us the entire American intelligence community in Africa." "A prize that will keep us out of the clove mills for generations." "Zebra list was an FBI operation during Prohibition." "We've tried every variation of Kalahari list on the books and still can't get anywhere." " What about the street?" " No, nothing." "No word." "Billy, you need some sleep." "You've been going at this for 48 hours straight." "Well, so have you." "Go ahead, knock off." " You've done everything I could ask." "AMANDA:" "No, sir, we haven't." "We haven't found the Kalahari list." "I'll put on another pot of coffee." "I'll second that." "Oh, before I forget." "I want you both to know that your relationship, whatever it is is fine with me." "We all look for something and when we find it, I think we should hang on with everything we've got." "[PHONE RINGING]" "[PHONE RINGS]" " Melrose here." "MAN:" "Billy, it's Monroe." "I need your help." " Who?" " Jack Monroe." "You've gotta come." " Monroe?" " I had to call." "Meet me at D and 3rd Streets in half an hour." " I understand." " I'm sorry." "No, no, you did the right thing." "I understand." "They're at it again." "They just called." "They helped me remember a phone call from that agent." "Jack Monroe?" "I talked to him Friday." "He was running." "He was running and he needed help." "His case status is empty." "Because he was working on a blind trust operation." "No records." "No reports." "No questions." "The Kalahari list." "Only three people knew about that." "Monroe, Lanni and myself." "It's a list of our African operatives." "Lanni tipped Monroe that someone working in the Estoccian embassy had it on the market." " And he couldn't get it." " Right, right." "He was made." "Which meant somebody had to go into the embassy and get it out of the safe." "I went in his place." "And I didn't make a clean break." "Does that mean that you hid it somewhere before the police picked you up?" "There are over a hundred names on that list." "That's a lot of telegrams to the next of kin." "All right." "The phone call said to meet on D Street near the corner of 3rd." " Let's go." " Hold it, hold it." "It's 6 a.m." "The streets are empty at this time of the morning." " If you trail me, they'll spot you like that." " No, they're not completely empty." "LEE [OVER RADIO]:" "Amanda, stand by." "I'm dropping Billy off at the end of the block." "Stay in Amanda's view." " I'll circle around." " Lee I don't know what I'm walking into and don't know if I'm walking back out, but...." "Hey, hey, save it, will you?" "You'll come out of there." "Yeah." "Beer and steaks at Randy's." "You've got a deal." "LEE:" "I'm coming back your way." "Keep your eyes open." "I'm going to the end of the block and then turning around." "Won't you join us, Mr. Melrose?" "He's in the limo." "LEE:" "I have him." "Stand by." "I'm coming up beside you." "Amanda, that's the shooter from the park." "Get out of there!" "Stay with the limo." "[GUNSHOTS]" "AMANDA:" "Lee, the limo is pulling up by the Smithsonian Gardens." "Are you there?" "Lee, I'm by the Smithsonian Gardens." "Are you all right?" "[MAN GROANS]" "Come in, Lee." "Amanda, stick with the limo." "Right now you're all Billy's got." "Will do." "RASHIDI:" "This is where we lost Melrose last week." "The streets will be filled in a half hour." "All the pieces are in place." "This is the last ride, Mr. Melrose." "We can use the needle or you can simply tell us where the Kalahari list is." "I'm not telling you anything." "[GRUNTING]" "He's running." "LEE:" "Stay on them." "I'll circle around." "Take care of any obstacles." " We'll bring him to you." " Yes, sir." "[GROWLING]" "[DOG BARKING]" "[CHUCKLING]" "Yes." "Any problems?" "Let's get what we came for." "This way." "It's a shame we didn't catch you last Friday." "It would have made our customers much less anxious." "You caught me after I hid the disk." "Of course." "And then we spent the weekend trying to pump the information out of you." "Now, may we have the disk?" "Now, may we have it back?" "Ah-ah-ah." "Both of you, guns on the floor." "Now!" "And now, you, you kick them over here." "Move it over." " Billy?" " Got it." "[GUNSHOT AND BILLY GROANS]" "It's over." "Okay." "BILLY:" "Amanda, did you get it?" " Here you are, sir." " All right." " I'll call an ambulance." " All right." "Yes, sir." "She's gonna be just fine, Lee." "Just fine." "I know." "How do you feel?" "I feel like beer and steaks at Randy's." "That sounds good." "LEE:" "You know what?" "AMANDA:" "What?" "Pine Top just received 18 inches of new, fresh powder." " Really?" " Yup." " I've got the skis." " Mm." "I've got the boots." "[AMANDA CHUCKLES]" " I've got you." " Mm." "[KNOCKING ON DOOR]" "[LEE SIGHS AND CLEARS THROAT]" "It's Billy." " Got a minute?" " Yeah." "AMANDA:" "Hello, sir." " Hello, Amanda." "Well, first, I wanna tell you both that I put you on record for helping recover the Kalahari list." " Thank you, sir." " Yeah, thank you, Billy." " But it was your collar." " Ours." "Well, thank you, sir." "And second, I took you off roll call for tomorrow." "Have a nice, long weekend." " Oh, well...." "BILLY:" "See you Monday." " Yes, sir." "LEE:" "Thanks, Billy." "Thanks a lot." "[LEE CHUCKLES]" "Wow." "Ha!" " Whoa." "Whoa!" " Ha, ha." "Ha!" "[English" " US" " SDH]"
