"It's like this, senator." "You make your payments and I don't send those pictures of you and that attractive congressional page to the papers." "I cannot take any more out of my account." "My wife will notice and she'll ask questions." "Then you and I have a problem." "What to do?" "Here's an idea." "Instead of paying in cash, we can barter." " With what?" " The vote on the handgun bill is close." "If one influential senator went over to the other side." "You're despicable." "That is a landmark piece of legislation." "If you think I'd give up a lifelong dream for some stinking" "Hey!" "Stop your name calling." "I'm trying to help you out." "I mean, the consequences of changing one vote is a lot easier to take than public humiliation." "Think about it, senator." "You don't have to give me your answer now." "Take, say, uh, until the vote comes up tomorrow to make up your mind." "I'll be in touch." "MAN:" "Good evening, Mr. Trent." "It's been a while." "Harry, my friend." "How's it going?" "Not very well, I'm afraid." "Um...." "In fact, I'm not sure when I'm going to be able to pay you." "I'm not worried about the money, take all the time you need." "Harry, hang in there." "Your luck's gonna change." "I can feel it." " Just another half hour." " You said that an hour ago." "My luck is changing now, Dotty." "And if I can double up my bets." "You've lost an awful lot of money already, Harry." "I wanna go home." "Now." " Dotty." " Now." "And I do know how to call a cab." "[DOTTY SIGHS]" "DEALER:" "Here we go, folks." "[DINOSAUR GROWLING ON TV]" "You know, this is the best evening we've spent together in weeks." "AMANDA:" "Mm-hm." " Worked out pretty well for everybody." " Hm." "Fellas got to go fishing with their dad, Mother went out with Harry." "That's the third time this week." " Sounds serious." " Yeah." "She likes him and he likes her." " She thinks he's pretty special." " Yeah." " Well, special does run in the family." " Heh." "[KEYS JINGLING]" " Your mother?" " You're right." " No, no." " No, Amanda." "I'll get your coat." "Go ahead." "Go ahead." "Go ahead." "Get out the door." "Out the door." "Go, go." "[TV TURNS OFF]" "Hello, dear." " Hi, Mother, how was your date?" " It was fine." "What's the matter?" "DOTTY:" "Oh...." "I found out something very unsettling about Harry." " He gambles." " What do you mean he gambles?" "He plays craps in the back room of a private club." "I mean, you know:" "[IMITATING HARRY] "Yo, 11." "Come on, Little Joe." "Snake eyes." "Hard way eight."" "[IN NORMAL VOICE] That's how it goes." "He loses a lot of money." " You had no idea?" " No, I didn't." "I mean, Harry is a very private person." "I don't even know his phone number." "Don't." "I know what you're thinking, that's strange." " Mother, do you know where he lives?" " No." "You don't know his phone number, and you don't know where he lives?" "Mother?" " What do you know about Harry?" " I know that he's wonderful." "That he's witty, that he's charming and that he's adorable and that he...." "That he drives a gorgeous Bentley." " Amanda?" " Yes, Mother." "Captain Curt is a million laughs and I have a good time with him." "And Mr. Johansen is the last of the red-hot lovers." "And Mr. Aiken" " Heh." "Mr. Aiken, I mean, he makes a good fourth at bridge." "But Harry...." "Harry is...." "Well, I feel like maybe I could have a relationship with him something deeper." " Maybe even something permanent." " Mother you've got to find out lot more about this man before you start thinking that way." "I can't just go out and ask him a lot of questions." " That would be too embarrassing." " Mother, listen to yourself." "If we could just...." "Well, if we could just make a few discreet inquiries." "Don't say "we," Mother." "Amanda, you work with a lot of government types." "Now, if they could just find out just a little bit about Harry." " Mother." " You know" "Mother, that would really be bending the rules." "Ugh." "Okay, I'll ask." "[DOTTY CHUCKLES]" "Oh, darling." "I feel so much better." "Don't you?" " Yeah, I feel better." " I knew you would." "Did you have a nice evening?" "Oh, yes, pretty quiet, just me and my popcorn, my book." "DOTTY:" "Yeah." "Heh, heh." "You know, you're a lot like I am." "You love to read a good dictionary." "Good night, love." "As you may have heard, Senator Castleton apparently committed suicide last night." "Francine, what did you get from metro?" "Cause of death is definitely drowning." "No sign of foul play." "And we found this note:" ""I can no longer bear the burden of my personal shame and I won't disgrace the family I love so dearly." That's all." "Despite his straight-arrow public image, I think the senator had something to hide." "This has to be a blackmailing, Billy." "There have been so many rumors of blackmail floating about this town lately that the FBI has established an Extortion Task Force." "This one's yours, Francine." "I want you to liaison with the ETF and then follow up with the Castleton thing in particular." " All right." " If we turn over the right rock maybe we'll uncover the senator's shame." "I may have made a mistake with you, Trent." "Hey, how was I supposed to know the guy was suicidal?" "It's your business to know." "I don't normally involve myself with small-time, bedroom blackmailers." "You came to me." "You felt you were ready for bigger things, I took a chance on you." "Now we've lost one of your more illustrious clients." "I've still got my ace." "Van Hagen." "He's into me for big bucks at the Kenley Club." "Classic case of dumb luck." "Lucky for you, you mean." "Lucky I decided to give the gambling clubs a shot." "Lucky I checked out his car registration or you wouldn't know he was using this Beaumont alias." "It took my resources, I'll remind you, to uncover his CIA connection and his value." "I have information about a major defection to be called the "Berlin Shipment."" "Very sensitive." "Only two men qualified to handle it." "One is in a hospital recovering from his last mission and the other is your dice-playing friend." "I want the details on it now." "Hey, if the guy's CIA, he's a special case." "I can't afford to push too hard." "You can't afford not to." "I don't normally give second chances, Trent." "Try not to waste it." "In a cosmopolitan city like D.C. gambling is a fact of life though I do think it's smart that your mother doesn't go back to that club." "AMANDA Mm-hm." "Can I ask something?" "How did she meet Harry, anyway?" "Oh, she was window-shopping in Grant's jewelry store and Harry struck up a conversation." "Took her for a ride in his Bentley, ask her for a date, then another one, another one." "Everything seemed great until last night." "Mother said Harry lost a lot of money." " Oh, boy." " What's the matter, another strikeout?" "Well, yeah, I've checked the IRS, the Social Security property tax rolls and the DMV." "So far the only Harry Beaumonts I've come up with are a 7-year-old boy in Alexandria and a retired army cook in Takoma Park." "[LEE SCOFFS]" "I mean, Mother said Harry was a private person, but this is ridiculous." "I think our mystery man is working under an assumed name." "Yeah, I don't like this." "All right, then what's the standard procedure in a case like this?" "Standard procedure?" "Well, that would be to, um, assemble a personal profile through interviews and, um, surveillance of locations frequented by the subject." "In this case, the Kenley Club." "Pick you up at 8:00." " You don't have to." " Amanda we're talking about my future mother-in-law." " Yeah." " Besides, I might get lucky." "[CHUCKLES]" "Okay, Mother, I'm leaving." "I did the right thing breaking my date with Harry." " Didn't I?" " Yes, Mother, you did." "Yeah." "Of course I did." "Have you talked to any government friends yet?" "Mother, look, those things take time, okay?" " Are you sure you're gonna be okay tonight?" " Yeah." "I wish I could stay home with you, but I forgot all about this film." "Wish you didn't look so depressed." "I'm not depressed." "I'm just disappointed." "I was so surprised to find Harry doing something illegal and he seems to like it." "I mean, maybe I'm falling in love with him." "I do love his laugh." "He laughs just like your daddy." "Oh, he had the most wonderful laugh." "You know, when we first met, I don't know something just clicked." "I mean, it was like we were-- Like we were soul mates or something." "I guess it sounds kind of silly, doesn't it?" "No." "I think you were both very lucky." "Yeah." "We were." "Oh." "We had some wonderful times together." "It is so rare to find a man like that." "Once, and then let alone twice." "Oh, Amanda, I just don't wanna mess this all up with Harry." "Mother, if it's special, it'll last." "Amanda, I said the same thing to you when you were 16." "I know, and 17 and 18, and you were right every time." " Let me ask you a question." " What is it?" "Why wear that when you're gonna see a documentary on tractors?" " It's the premiere." " Oh, I see." "And a date with Lee." "[DOORBELL RINGS]" "Good night, Mother." "Hmm." "On a scale from one to ten, he's an 11." "And she doesn't wanna date him." "Heh." "Ah, my daughter's crazy." "[PEOPLE CHATTERING]" " I don't see Harry." " Yeah." "Well, what do you say we try our luck while we wait, huh?" " Have you ever played roulette?" " Yeah." "It's pretty easy." "I played at the PTA's Monte Carlo night." "Well, it's not so easy for everyone." "You see the strategy lies in making bets that minimize the house's edge." "MAN:" "And spin." "CROUPIER:" "Nine." "Field's nine." "Pay the field." "CROUPIER:" "Freeze bets, please." "No more bets." "No more bets." "MAN 1:" "You must hit the board." "CROUPIER: 20 black." "Lady wins again." "Amanda, where was this PTA of yours, Las Vegas?" "Oh." "That's Harry." "You see the man on the right?" " Yeah." " Good evening, Mr. Beaumont." "Oh, good evening." "Twenty two black." "Lady wins again." "He doesn't look too happy, does he?" "Yesterday you said not to worry about the money." "Look, uh...." "[CHUCKLES]" "I almost called you by your real name." "Don't worry, I won't say a thing." "Harry, I'm a reasonable guy." "I know you're strapped for cash so I'll settle for this." "Code named "Berlin Shipment." You know what I'm looking for." "You'll just have it for me tomorrow." "Believe me if I wasn't in a bind, I wouldn't ask." "My friend, cash this out." "We'll be right back." " Did you get the plates?" " LBK 192." "LEE:" "LBK 192." "Yeah, this is Scarecrow." "I need a make on a Bentley, D.C. plates" " LBK 192." " LBK 192." "Did you recognize the man who spoke to Harry?" "Never saw either of them before." "Yeah." "What?" "Look, are you sure?" " Okay, thanks." " What?" "The car is registered to one Guy Van Hagen." "He owns an international airfreight company." "More importantly, he does a lot of work for the government." "Van Hagen, Amanda." "As in" "CIA." "Yeah, I know." "My mother's seeing a spy." "Hi, sweetheart." "You're home early." "How was the film?" "There was no film, Mother." " Canceled for lack of interest?" " Mother, listen, we have to talk about Harry." "Now I didn't wanna say anything before because I didn't want to upset you, but I went to the Kenley Club tonight." " If he's married, I don't wanna hear it." " Not married, but he's not Harry." "His name is Guy Van Hagen and he owns an airfreight company." "Oh, Amanda, that doesn't make any sense." "Why would Harry use a phony name?" "I don't know, Mother." "He might be in some kind of trouble." "I'm not sure." "Look, he had a conversation with a man who was about six feet tall, brown hair slicked straight back." "He was flashy looking." "Yes." "He was talking to him." "They were talking about money." "Harry, whatever his name is." " Hmm." " Amanda, that's it." "He's in debt to the mob." "If we don't do something he'll end up with a cement overcoat." "You got to calm down." "You're really jumping to conclusions now." "You're right." "There's got to be a perfectly logical explanation." "Oh, poor Harry." "I could kill him." "Oh." "I'm so mixed up." "I don't know whether to be mad at him." " I don't know whether to be afraid for him." " Look, Mother." "We can't do anything until tomorrow anyway, all right?" "So I'll ask some more questions and we'll see if we can get to the bottom of this." "I hope it's not the bottom of the Potomac." "Yeah." "LEE:" "Yes, thank you very much for your help." "Yes, yes, we'll handle it from here and keep you informed." "Okay?" "Thank you very much." " Guess who I was just talking to?" " Who?" " Guy Van Hagen." " Great." "Are we gonna talk to him?" "No." "We really can't afford the time to fly to West Germany." "But this is Guy Van Hagen." "AMANDA:" "This is Guy Van Hagen?" "LEE:" "Mm-hm." "I got in touch with him through the CIA." "Now he's not an agent." "He's more of a company cousin, unofficially official." "But he carries a Delta Green clearance." "He's in West Berlin assisting in a hot defection something code-named the "Berlin Shipment."" "Does he even know Harry Beaumont?" "No." "But he does have an employee that fits his description." "Guy named Harry Berrigan." "Berrigan, Harold T. Age: 57." "Occupation: personal assistant and relief chauffeur." "Employer:" "Guy Van Hagen." "Hmm." "Van Hagen told me that he house-sits for him when he's out of the country." "So that explains the car." "Yeah." "What about the fake name and the guy last night?" "What kind of a man has my mother gotten herself involved with?" "I don't know." "But I think I'd like to talk to him." "Amanda, what do I do?" "First you tell me Harry isn't Harry, that he's Guy van Hagen." "Then you tell me he's not Guy." "His name really is Harry, but his last name is different." "I mean, what is going on?" "That's what we're trying to find out." "You're gonna have to sit tight." "Sitting tight is not one of my strong points." "Mother, there's nothing else you can do." "I'll talk to you later, all right?" "Okay, bye-bye." "[SIGHS]" "I hate to sit tight." "[LINE RINGING]" "DOTTY [OVER PHONE]:" "Hello?" " Dotty." "It's Harry." " Harry." "Harry, I've got to talk to you." "Well, I haven't got much time." "I've been called away on business, I have to leave town right away." " When I get back" " Ah, ah, ah." "Wait a minute, Harry Berrigan." "You're not going anywhere until I talk to you." " How did you find out?" " That's not important." "Now I know all this has to do with the money you're losing." "I don't care about that." "What I care about is you and I wanna help." "There's really nothing you can do." "Yes, there is." "There's always something, Harry" "Now look I'm not going to get off this phone until you agree to see me." "Well, you can drive me to the airport." "But hurry." "Okay." "All right." "What is it?" "Okay." "5830 Lincoln Way." "Mm-hm, I got it." "Stay." "Now, don't move until I get there." "Okay." "Harry, I don't have a car." "Oh." "Okay, just get ahold of yourself, Dorothy." "Cab." "Of course." "Heh, heh, heh." "Call a cab." "You wanted to see me?" "Yes." "I've had an update from my European sources." "The Berlin Shipment is moving within 72 hours." "Now if I don't get the information soon, it'll be worthless and I'll be out a lot of money." " How are you doing with Van Hagen?" " Great." "I should have it tonight." "You better be quite certain on that, Trent." "I'm not at all sure about him." "It might be a good idea to hedge my bet." "Simons, why don't you get over to Van Hagen's house and see if you can find anything useful." "What about him?" "He may work out yet." "If not, uh, you'll dispose of him later." " You just wait, okay?" " Yes, ma'am." "[DOORBELL RINGS]" "Harry, I know that you're in way over your head, but it is not your fault." "I mean, mobsters are clever, they can trick you." "Oh, dear, is this Mr. Van Hagen's home?" " How did you find out about this?" " That isn't the point." "The point is, what do we do about it?" "We're not doing anything." "I'm leaving town." " Do you think it's a good idea to run away?" " Better than losing my kneecaps." "These guys don't turn you over to a collection agency." " They turn you over to the morgue." " Okay." "I have a cab waiting outside." "What are you waiting for?" "Let's go." "LEE:" "Why is it you only get a flat tire when you're in a hurry?" "Oh, well, since Harry doesn't know we're coming, he won't mind if we're late." "[DOORBELL RINGS]" "LEE:" "Check that side." "AMANDA:" "Lee." " I don't think anybody's home." " Better get ourselves inside, huh?" "[SIGHS]" "I better take a look upstairs." "[SIMONS GRUNTS]" "[TIRES SCREECHING]" "More of the same upstairs." " Look at this." " What?" "It's from the Kenley Club." "Remember that guy handed Harry a napkin last night?" "Yeah." ""The Berlin Shipment." "All details."" "Doesn't look good for your mother's boyfriend." "Look at this." "This is mother's newspaper." "Mother's handwriting, this address which she didn't know when I talked to her an hour and a half ago." "[DIALING PHONE]" "No answer at home." "What's going on?" "I can't tell." "Without a program, it's getting real tough to tell who the players are here." "Look, why don't we try Billy." "[DIALING PHONE]" "Somebody searched Van Hagen's house probably looking for info on the Berlin Shipment." "...and now Van Hagen's assistant is missing." "And that's not all, Billy." "Ah, there's a good possibility that Amanda's mother is with Harry." "Amanda's mother?" "How'd she get mixed up in this?" "To tell you the truth, it's a long story." "Damn it, the Berlin Shipment is Alpha 1 priority." " A mother should not be mixed up in it." " Okay, Billy, I'll tell her." "Yeah." "Oh, listen, the guy shot out my tire." "You're gonna have to send someone out here to pick us up." " Okay." "Bye." " Tell her what?" "Billy is issuing an agency alert on Harry and your mother." "[AMANDA SIGHS]" "We're gonna have to go to your house." "He needs a picture of her." "Mother had this taken last Christmas with the boys." "It was their Christmas present to me." "Oh, would you look at that?" "She had the worst time getting Jamie to smile, he had his new braces on." "See?" " He was so self-conscious." " Heh, heh, heh." "Hey, come on." "Come on, it's no time to be like that, okay." " You've got to think positively." " I know, I know." "I'm just, you know a little scared." "Heh." "I know you are, but you've got to think that everything is gonna work out okay." "DOTTY:" "Amanda, is that you?" " Mother." "DOTTY:" "I thought I heard someone talking in here." " Mother, where have you been?" " I have been on the patio." "Amanda, you have no idea how much trouble Harry is in." " Hello, Mr. Stetson." " Mrs. West." "We went to Van Hagen's house, but Harry wasn't there." "We found your newspaper." "We must have just crossed each other." "I was right about everything." "I was right about the mobsters, the money, the gambling." " Harry, you're here." " Yes." "Thanks to me." "Harry, uh, I'd like you to meet Amanda's gentleman friend." "That's Lee Stetson." " Hi." " How do you do?" "He works with her and maybe he can help." "Look, I was just thinking maybe it would be better if we didn't call the FBI." "The FBI?" "Now, wait a second." "Will you help me talk some sense into this stubborn man?" "When you are dealing with blackmail, you have got to get the feds involved." "I have seen Efrem Zimbalist, Jr." "do this a dozen times." "Mother, that was television." " Yes, that was TV." "DOTTY:" "I know." " But those were from actual case histories." "HARRY:" "Maybe it'd better" " Police might be sympathetic." "DOTTY:" "That has to do with jurisdiction." "AMANDA:" "Sympathetic isn't the right word." "HARRY:" "Understanding, maybe." "DOTTY:" "Names changed to protect innocent." "AMANDA:" "Understanding might not" "[LEE WHISTLES]" "Could we all just sit down and talk about this?" " Sure." " Sure." "DOTTY:" "Sugar, Mr. Stetson?" "Cream." "I know that from work." " Go on, Harry." " Well, anyway the boss was away so much..." " ..." "I started driving the Bentley sometimes." "AMANDA:" "Mm-hm." "And then I started borrowing a couple of his jackets." "Pretty soon I was believing that I was the rich one." " How'd you find out about the club?" " From another chauffeur." "I've always had a kind of a weakness for the dice and I just wanted to have some fun, but...." "So I used some of Van Hagen's ID to get in the club and then I started calling myself Harry Beaumont." "All the people in there use some pseudonym but, I don't know, it just sounded classier than Berrigan." "And it was exciting." "Heh." "I'd never played for such high stakes before." "Until I started to lose." " How much money do you owe Mr. Trent?" "HARRY:" "Nearly $50,000." "But he wouldn't have if Trent hadn't been buying his markers." "Sure." "Trent dangled the carrot." " I took a big bite." "AMANDA:" "Don't be too hard on yourself." "It's a classic blackmail set-up." "Or so I understand." "Why would anybody want to blackmail Harry?" "Well, I don't know." "Did he, uh, ask you for anything?" "Yes." "The last time I saw him he said I wouldn't have to pay him if I'd give him something called the Berlin Shipment." "The Berlin Shipment." "Well...." " Have any idea what that is?" " No." "I thought it might have to do with Mr. Van Hagen's business." "He's in airfreight." "But I checked his log and he hasn't scheduled any flights to Germany." "I was just gonna hide out in my cousin's apartment in the Bronx until I could figure out what to do, then Dotty talked me out of going." "When you came in, we were talking about whether to go to the police or FBI." "I mean, Harry has got to have some kind of protection." "Well, uh, I don't think there is enough time for the FBI to send someone out here." "AMANDA:" "I'm not really sure this is a matter for the local police." "LEE:" "Yeah." "Why don't you call that agent that, uh, helped you out?" "Remember when we had the security mix up." " Who was that?" " What's his name?" " Oh, Mr. Melrose." " Melrose." " Right." " Melrose." "Yeah." "Mr. Personality." "Ugh." "Well, at least he was efficient." "All right, okay, I'll see if I can find his card." "Miles Trent, also known as Trenton Miller, Miles "the Squeeze" and about a half dozen other names." "Harry picked him out of a metro police mug book." "He's got a rap sheet longer than our arms put together." "It's mostly, uh, two-bit stuff though, cons, boudoir blackmail." "Then Senator Castleton would have been exactly his type." "One congressional page broke down when questioned her." "Seems that she and the senator shared more than a political affiliation." "Well, if Trent is trying to find out about the Berlin Shipment..." " ...then he's moved up to the majors." " Yeah, but not alone." "Trent doesn't usually dabble in gambling and Harry owes him 50 grand in markers he bought." "Where does a guy like Trent get that kind of cash?" " Somebody's got to be bankrolling him." " Trent's a front man?" " Yeah." "BILLY:" "We could bust Trent on blackmail charges, but that wouldn't guarantee..." " ...that he'd tell us who's backing him." " Right." "What we've got to do is set up a situation that'll send Trent running to his man." "I think Harry can help us do it." "Francine, call Van Hagen in Berlin and tell him to stay alert." "Okay." "If you've got a plan, let's hear the rest of it." "Just one more thing, before we go on, um, Amanda's worried about her mother." " Now you've met Mrs. West" " Okay." "Okay." "I got you." "Tell Amanda not to worry." "I'll take care of her mother." "Good." "Mr. Melrose, Harry is not going to agree to anything without a full explanation." "Now if we have to, we will bring in a lawyer." "We could bring in Joe." " Mother." " Amanda, we're talking about Harry's life." "All right, now what do you mean you'll handle things?" "We'll conduct an investigation." "Harry will have to be thoroughly interviewed." "It'll take some time." "How long, and where will he stay?" "HARRY:" "Dotty-- DOTTY:" "Who will be protecting Harry?" " I've had experience with these people." " Dorothy." "Please, let the man talk." " Of course, Harry." " Will I be charged for the gambling?" "Probably not, but at this point I'd say that's the least of your worries." "Agreed." "And I'll certainly do everything I can to cooperate." "Good." "We'd like to get started right away." " I've got a car outside waiting." " Could I have just a minute with Dotty?" "Sure." "Of course." " Thank you for helping my mother, sir." " My pleasure, Amanda." "HARRY:" "I'm ready." "Mother, you all right?" " Harry said the sweetest thing to me." " Aw." "You gonna tell me what it is?" "Of course not." "Call for you, Mr. Trent." "TRENT:" "Thanks." " Yeah?" "HARRY:" "This is Van Hagen." "So you're finally giving up your alter ego." "Oh, what's the use?" "You've got me between a rock and a hard place." "If word gets out I'm in debt, my business will go belly up faster than you can say Chapter 11." "Meet me at the bridge in Rock Creek Park in half an hour..." " ...and you'll get what you want." " Okay." "Good work, Harry." "BILLY:" "Bieber, cover the north perimeter." "O'Neil, Anderson, you come with me." "MAN 1:" "Hold it, Van Hagen." "MAN 2:" "Freeze." "MAN 1:" "Right there." "MAN 2:" "Don't do anything stupid." "MAN 1:" "We don't wanna hurt you, but we'll shoot if we have to." "MAN 3:" "Hold it right there." "Mr. Van Hagen, you are under arrest for conspiracy to commit treason." "MAN 1:" "Is he Van Hagen?" "MAN 2:" "Yeah." "Hey." "Wait, wait, hold it, hold it." "Come on, follow me." "I'm with Van Hagen." "Come on." "They'll have your car covered, but they haven't seen you yet." "Come on." "You did just fine, Harry." "I appreciate your help in getting me out of this mess..." " ...but I still don't know what's going on." " Sorry." "That's the way it has to be." "AMANDA:" "Did they see you?" " No." " Come on, let's get out of here." " Fine." "She'll do the driving, and you'll do the talking." "I want some answers." "LEE:" "Those were federal agents back there." "I picked up on that." "The question is, who are you?" "We worked for Van Hagen." "Why weren't you helping him back there?" "Because we're helping ourselves, Mr. Trent." "Or is it, uh, Trenton Miller today?" "Or Miles "the Squeeze"?" "Still having that extortion charge hanging over your head in New Jersey?" "Then there's your latest, Senator Castleton." "Heh." "I bet he's a lousy poker player." " What do you want?" " We just wanna do business." "For the past couple of years, we've been helping Van Hagen sell bits and pieces of information about CIA operations." "When we found out about the Berlin Shipment we decided it was our way to make a killing and take an early retirement." " So we set him up." " That was your work?" "Yeah." "Figure we got about 12 hours before he starts shooting his mouth off about us." "We intend to be in Brazil by then." "So if you wanna know about the Berlin Shipment..." " ...you gotta deal with us." " Mm." " How much?" " Say, half a mill." "You're crazy." "Heh, heh." "I haven't got that kind of bread." "So get it." " Just how much more?" "TRENT [OVER PHONE]: 200 grand." "There was an unexpected development." "You swore I'd have the info by last night." "Now don't you even think about trying to hold me up." "I can't raise any more cash." "LEE:" "Tough luck, pal." " No, no, no." "I've got to have that information." "There must be some kind of deal we can make." "What have you got that's worth dealing for?" " Client list." " My list?" "Heh, heh." "Come on, that's my meal ticket." "Hey." " Client list." " Forget it." "All right, damn it, my list." "And the 300 grand cash that you've got." "Okay, but I pick the place for transfer." "For all I know, you're working with the FBI." "I don't plan to end up in one of their training films." "The Kenley Club, 6:00." "Action's light and I can keep an eye on things." "That's good."
