"#FIREHEAD#" "#THE SOVIET UNION REPUBLIC OF ESTONIA#" "#1988#" "Are you ready, Ivan?" "Ready, Commander." "We are approaching the area." "Blow up the building." "What are you waiting for?" "Detonate!" "What are you waiting for?" "I said, Detonate!" "What are you waiting for?" "Detonate!" "Detonate!" "We want our freedom!" "Where are you going, Comrade?" "I am going to find a free country." " But this is your country." "No." "Not like this." "I must go now." "#N.I.H RESEARCH CENTER#" "But that was two years ago, when Ivan defected from the Russians." "Yes, well, he's sprung loose again." " I can't believe that." "He's supposed to be our big hero." " Well, you better believe THIS." "His powers have more than considerably increased since YOU worked with him." "In fact he's become dangerous." "What do you mean?" " You'll be briefed later." "What are you talking about?" " We would like you to help us find him." "Ivan is not my responsibility any more." "Not since YOU kicked me out of YOUR department." "Now look here, Warren, for god's sake, that man is out there now, blowing up things" "Westec Chemical for instance." "Wait a minute." "I thought that was supposed to be an accident." "Oh, Hart, we're not going to tell the whole damn world about it are we?" "Oh, for god's sakes." "Look, I could have you transferred back to my section if that's what you want." "But I thought, as he was a friend of yours, you might want to help him." "Ivan is obviously disturbed." "He could get hurt." "What the hell are you doing?" "It's Russian Black Tea." "Want some?" "Alright!" "So what if I do decide to help?" "What then?" "Good boy." "#DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE SPECIAL OPERATIONS HEADQUARTERS#" "I've paired you with Agent Buchanan of Special Operations." "Look now, Colonel, I really don't need any of your military watchdogs breathing' down my neck." "There's a nice party on seven, CD." "Now, quite seriously, Warren." "Agent Buchanan was involved in this damn project long before Ivan defected." "Now that should be helpful to you." "I think it's a bad idea pairing up a military officer with a scientist on a mission like this." "Colonel Vaughn." "How are you?" "Well, you must be Warren Hart." "I thought you'd be older." "Hi, Maila Buchanan" "Nice to meet you." "I think it's a great idea paring up a military officer with a scientist on a mission like this." "What's that stuff for?" "We might need it to protect ourselves." " To protect ourselves?" "It's our orders." "Ivan is unpredictable." "I thought we were just supposed to talk to him." "Yeah, but suppose he doesn't want to listen." "You know, your friend's gone a little nuts." "He's been blowin' up factories all over the place." "They nicknamed him "Firehead"." "But I don't understand." "Why would he do this?" "What exactly were you working on before he cracked?" "You're pretty handy with that thing must take a lot of field experience." "Hey, now, now, now." "I don't know what to do with this thing now." "Take it back." "When you need to use it, you'll figure it out." "When you need to use it, then you'll figure it out." "It was terrible, just terrible." "I tell ya, they heard the blast clear over in Richmond." "Thats about twenty, twenty two miles from here." "Thats incredible." "Was anyone injured?" "No, thank God." "It happened in the middle of the night." "Two security guards were there, but..." " The destruction was almost total." "He knocked out the entire storage facility in every laboratory." "And you should have seen the bombs." "Bombs?" "What bombs?" "The bombs they were building." "I saw 'em." "They were big as hog's dicks on Sunday." "Sorry, Ma'am." "Was this another one of Fulbright's "pet projects"?" "I don't know." " You don't know." "Holy, what the hell is this?" "Jesus" "Look at this?" "Were there any explosives found?" "None." "No Sir, no residue." "It IS odd." "But this wasn't caused by any normal explosion." "This thing looks like a fusion reaction." "That should have taken the whole neighborhood." "Could you get your guys to bring some equipment over?" "We've got to run some tests." "Thanks." " Yes, Ma'am." "Tell me what you're not telling me." "Tell me how Ivan could do this?" "You know Ivan has telekinesis." "They've worked with him so he can actually move molecules." "What?" "You're telling me he can mentally squeeze molecules?" "What?" "Fusion, like a nuclear reaction?" "He hasn't perfected it." "He's not THAT good yet." "But, if he developed that ability, he could." "He could destroy the world." "So what else do you know?" "Like, why would Ivan go nuts like this?" "Like, why the hell won't you tell me what you've been working on?" "That's a nasty piece of work, Ma'am." "Thank you, Officer." " You're welcome Ma'am." "So, where is your Russian "Doom Machine" going to strike next, Vaughn?" "I thought we might try to stop him before he decides to act again." "Listen, we entered into this arrangement..." " Together." "Yes." "And we're together now." "Ad orderum postum." " The Upper Order." "Well, Westec's gone." "Charlie's plant is destroyed." "And together we'll share our losses." "Destruction of these facilities actually fits quite nicely into our original plan." "Unless we're completely wiped out first." "That's being taken care of." " By a research scientist?" "What can he do?" "All he has to do is find him." " And then what?" "That's been taken care of." "Looking for lost souls, old man?" "Me, too." "Hello?" " Mister Simon, there's a breach at your factory." "Shit." "I'll be right there." "Taggart?" " What's this pansy doing here?" "Well, hey, Taggart gosh, my rod's bigger than yours." "Is he inside?" "Tell them to stop firing!" "Goddammit, you're gonna kill him!" "Thats the idea, Pretty Boy." "Asshole!" "Now, now, now, you gotta stop them!" "Ivan is too important to lose." "Don't worry, they can't touch him." "The fucker's hiding inside of that thing." "Well take cover and blow the piss out of it!" "Taggart Taggart!" "Can I point out to you that blowing up that shack would set fire to the whole place?" "Ah, they got insurance." " What about the old watchman?" "There's no trace of him." "How do you expect me to make contact with Ivan when you and this Bozo here to shoot him down?" " This was plain sloppy." "Sloppy?" "Did you see the way I blew him up, did you see those flames?" "That was clean, Babe." "Clean as a wolf's tooth." ""Clean as a wolf's tooth", Taggart?" "Come on, who are you, Marlin Perkins?" "Didn't you notice we didn't catch him?" "Taggart, try not to be such a moron." "Now why dont you all just shut up?" "I asked Taggart to sterilize the scene if he couldn't find him." "And you're right, Warren, firing on him was particularly stupid." "Hey look, it's the old guy from the plant." "I seen him up close." "He was big, really big." "And mean, too." "And those red eyes" "I didn't see no red eyes." "Damn it, Ivan's not ready for prime time." "Look here, Warren." "You simply must establish personal contact with him." "There's no other way" "We'e assembled some background information on Ivan." "I suggest you go through this and try and figure out where he might be hiding." "Yeah, yeah what are those things behind the newsperson?" "What are those, tiles or something?" "Oh, who cares?" "Come on, Hart." "Let's go." "I've seen those tiles before." "What tiles?" "Now get the police to beef up security at these locations." "My God, you know where he's going to strike." "How did you..." "Look, Taggart, you follow orders, you get your pension." "Now piss off." "Hi, Smith." "Thanks for knocking." " Look,Warren." "I need help." "Yeah." "So do I." " Seriously, listen." "I've got the Aldehyde reaction going, but when" "I add the potassium catalyst, nothing happens." "Doesn't your mother ever need attention?" "Your Aldehyde solution is not hot enough." "It needs to be 160 degrees." "Thanks." "What are you drawing?" " Oh, I don't know" "It looks like the heat shield tiles for the MX." "What do you mean, "MX"?" "You mean like in the MX missile?" "Yeah." "They're made out of graphite and they've shaped funny like that to fit the exhaust vent." "I saw it when we toured the Vandenberg Air Force base." "Thats where Johnny Bromeyer tried to kiss me but I told him." "Thats it." "Thats the link!" "Every place he's blown up has had some military connection!" "Johnny never blew up anything!" "Not Johnny, Ivan." " I don't know anybody named Ivan." "Yes, but I DO." "Will syou shut up a second?" "You seem kinda stressed." "Is everything okay at work?" "No, everything's not okay at work." "It hasn't been okay in a couple of years." "But you used to have fun there." "In the old days, when Pendleton was in charge." "Pendelton." "Pendleton was always straight forward." "He'd tell ya if he knew something." "You need to lighten up." "You wanna play a game of laser maze?" "No you don't." " You sweet thing." "Hart?" "By God, it IS you." "How are ya?" "You're looking good, Pendleton." " Good to see you." "Something's wrong, huh?" "Come on." "So your man Ivan is hitting military contractors, huh?" "Yeah, but not obvious ones." "Thanks!" "Admiral." "Everybody knows that Westec makes fertilizer, but practically nobody knows they also make one of the essential chemicals for solid rocket propellant." "It's the same with Simoris graphite." "How did Ivan find out they make the MX heat shield tiles?" "It doesn't make sense if Ivan IS a Russian spy, then he'd wanna be quiet." "Yeah?" " And if he WASNT gonna be quiet, why didn't he blow up something major like Lockheed or Hughes." "Because Ivan is not a spy." "He wouldn't do any of those things I know the guy." "Vaughn is not telling me something." "I'm sure that Ivan's activities are linked with what they're working on." "Vaughn can't even stand the man." " What do you know about him?" "He was always a sneaky little bastard, he and his old boy clique of perverts." "He'd trade the Statue of Liberty for a couple of missiles if he knew he could set them off." "Well, what the hell does the Secretary of Defense think about him?" "Fulbright?" " Yeah!" "Secretary Fulbright is the one who put him in charge." "But, if you ask me, it's Vaughn who's calling the shots." "Pendleton, I gotta find out what Vaughn is working on." "I'm sure that Ivan found out." "Hart go back to your germs." "Youv'e a lot safer there." "Oh what about Ivan?" "It sounds as if Ivan can take care of himself." "Damn it, Pendleton!" "Admiral, I've got to get to the bottom of this thing." "How?" "Vaughn's not gonna tell you anything." " Of course not." "But everything I need to know must be in the computer files at Special Operations." "But you can't get in there." "No." "But you can." "Oh, shit I ain't cut out for this." "Son of a bitch!" "Hey, come out here, butthead!" "Your mother's on fire out in the hall." " What?" "I said, your mother's on fire." "Out in the hall." " What?" "Big mess." "I said, your mother's on fire." "Big mess." "Out in the hall." "Son of a bitch!" "Oh, Jesus Christ!" "What are you doing?" "Following me around?" "What, are you gonna go report back to Vaughn?" "That's fine, cause I have a couple of questions I'd like to ask him!" "Hey, give me some credit, alright?" "I'm not going to report anything to Vaughn." "Im supposed to be your partner, remember?" "Oh yeah, thats right." "You're my partner." "Well, then, maybe you could tell me what this is?" " What is that?" "Oh, come on." "I took the names of the three companies that Ivan hit, fed them into the computer and guess what?" "They all have brand new defense contracts signed by Secretary Fulbright." "Well, there must be a hundred companies with new contracts." "A hundred and five to be exact." "Imagine that I asked Mister Computer to run those companies, see if any of them had anything in common." "And?" " You tell me." "You're Special Operations." "Westec Chemicals - access denied, Special Operations." "Simoris Graphite - access denied, Special Operations." "DeVries Industries - access denied." "Access denied, access denied." "eight companies in all!" "So what the hell you you people on?" "What, are you going to blow up the world?" "Is that what Ivan found out?" "I don't know." " You don't know?" "Well maybe I'll ask Vaughn myself." "I have top secret clearance." "I know the access codes." "Come on." "All those companies with the same five people on the board of directors." "And Vaughn is one of them." "The Upper Order?" "What the hell is that?" "There was an investigation about two years ago." "I think it was the C.I.A." "Well, can you access the C.I.A. computer?" "Oh, my God, oh, my God, I don't believe this." "Who's this guy one of the Upper Order?" "Where'd you get all this stuff?" "Indonesia, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain." "Bahrain?" "That sounds pretty exotic." "What were you doing there?" "Travelling with Vaughn." "Special Operations business." "Yeah." "Jesus, Vaughn and that group of old farts and their "secret society"." "Christ, they could be Neo-Nazis, or..." "Well, they'd have to be pretty powerful to stop an entire Grand Jury investigation and close down a C.I.A. operation." "I don't know, I don't know, Maila." "I always thought it was a joke, do you think there's really such a thing as the Tri-lateral Commission?" "I don't think Vaughn's that competent." "Yeah, I guess you're right." "I still think I'm in way over my head, though." "In over your head?" "You?" "The guy who single-handedly pioneered high velocity magnetism at room temperature?" "You know about that?" " Are you kidding?" "I've been a big fan of yours since your early work on superconductors." "Come on!" " Believe it or not, physics and chemistry are hobbies of mine." " I didn't know that!" "You never really asked me anything about myself." "Oh, you always look so tough." "How is this?" "That'll help." "How about this?" "Yeah, we have to get drunk." "23., 29., or higher." "What?" " What's the date today?" "The 30th." "No it's not!" "It's after midnight!" "It's the 31st!" "Another prime number!" "I gotta go!" "Hart?" "Hart?" "Hart?" "#VANGUARD AIRCRAFT NO TRESPASSING#" "You missed the last flight to Cleveland, pal." "Better get your hands up." "Geez!" "You startled me!" "I was lost..." "Give it up!" "If you don't have any I.D., you're dead." "Alright, take it easy." "It's in my pocket." "Take it out." "Slow like." "Special Operations." "Sorry, Admiral." "Oh!" "Sonofabitch!" "Oh, I hate it when I do that!" "Shit!" "Having trouble old friend?" "Nah." "Come with me!" "Jesus Christ!" "What is it?" "A pianist." "It's a new bomber, isn't it?" "It is, isn't it?" "It's Vaughn's new toy!" "It's connected with that Upper Order, or whatever isn't it?" "Oh, come on. tell me." "You're one of the good guys, aren't ya?" "Jesus Christ." "Ten seconds." "Wait a minute!" "Do you know how to fly this thing?" "You want to stay here?" "Take care of them." "Wait a minute, I'm not a demolitions expert!" " Push the detonator, toss, and go boom!" "Now you are a demolitions expert." "Hart?" "No, babe Schwarzenegger." "Taggart?" "How did you get in here?" "The Discover Card." "Beats the pants off of American Express." "How'd you expect Hart to get in?" "The Ruskie bastard just hit Vanguard Airfield, and Vaughn wants you and Hart over there stat." "Could you wait in the kitchen while I put something else on?" "Hart wasn't in his apartment." "Do you know where he is?" "Then Vaughn gave me the assignment take out the N.I.H. Research facility at Parker Center." "What?" "Jesus Christ, that's where I work!" "I would've been killed!" "Thanks, buddy." "Not to belittle you, but I was thinking more of the thousands who would die if the biologicals were released into the air." "Yeah?" "Well, them, too." "Christ, I knew Vaughn was a maniac, but why would he do this?" "I was to make it look like Russian sabotage." "Sabotage?" "Oh, shit." "Oh, I get it." "With a Russian threat, Vaughn could get any arms appropriations passed he wanted!" "You do not understand what the Upper Order stands for." "It's not about money." "Its about controlling the world." "They want an all-out war." "Jesus Christ." "So tell me, friend, how are you involved in all this?" "Ivan, what the hell are you doing?" "I'm on your side for god sakes!" "What do ya think?" "I mean, they just, they just want me, wanted me to find you and talk to you." "Ivan, for God's sakes!" "I showed up at the airstrip alone, didn't I?" "Come on, I'm just trying to help ya!" "I always thought that I could trust you." "And you were in a bit of trouble at the airfield." "I just had to make sure." "But what I do not understand is why you are so close to their assassin." "Assassin?" "What the hell are you talking about?" "That girl." " Maila?" "She's one of Special Operations' top assassins." "Her job is to kill me." "Oh, my God." "I don't believe it." "She was so convincing." "She was so good." "Women." " So what the hell do we do now?" "Don't worry." "I'm going to finish them one-by-one." "I expected you sooner." "Tell Vaughn that life, as men have lived it, can only be" "Oh, fuck it." "Just tell him he's a horse's ass." "Where the hell is Hart?" " I don't know." "He disappeared." "When did you last see him?" " Last night." "That was one of a kind." "You think he's capable of finding Ivan?" "Don't ask me, you hired him." "Buchanan, who's side are you on, anyway?" "I'm just a government employee, following orders." "Well, you follow this one - find him, before he does something really stupid." "I know you can do it." "You're one of my favorite agents." "I had millions in that bird." "This is getting worse and worse!" "No, it's getting better." " You're joking!" " I never joke." "You're crazy." " I'm perfectly sane." "He's completely out of control now!" " Nothing is ever out of my control!" "Don't you see?" "Are you all as idiotic as the vulgar throng we hold in contempt?" "We had a plan to use Ivan to precipitate a world crisis." "That plan was so sound that even the intervention of unseen hands actually came to our aid," "Yes!" "Your plant was destroyed, your plane, your factory." "but who destroyed them?" "A Russian." "And that is the point." "THAT is our plan." "Then we can still destroy the N.I.H. Facility." "And they'll all believe that he did it, because we'll MAKE 'em!" "Our momentum continues." "Vaughn?" "Vaughn, where you hiding, damn it?" "Vaughn!" "Good to see you, Mister Secretary." " Likewise" "So, what do you need?" " It's time." "I figured as much." "I read the papers." "How do you want me to play it?" "Well, Congress, as usual, won't take to any increase in military spending, even though the suggestion comes from the Secretary of Defense." "So we're going to go for a groundswell of public sentiment." "That ought to cinge your hairs and make 'em jump." "A press conference for the media BEFORE I present it to Congress?" "Yes." "You're gonna get to tell the people that there's a real Russian spy loose in our midst." "Scare the shit outta everybody." "Then we're gonna hit 'em with the big one." "What big one?" " Let me worry about that, Mister Secretary." "You just keep from boiling over back there in 'DC." "Jesus, Vaughn!" "Let's just keep this one in perspective, okay?" "Fulbright." "You don't wanna go back to being a farm fuck assemblyman in Indiana." "Do ya?" "Well no, not really." "Then don't fuck with me." "It's only a pack of cigarettes." "Oh, God!" "What are you, nuts hanging out here?" "What is this, Siberian snake chowder?" "America, land of the free." "Where else can you have snakes for breakfast?" "I never saw people go hungry until I came to this country." "Yeah, we have Disneyland." "Land of moose and squirrel." "Thats Rocky and Bullwinkle, Ivan." "Don't tell me you've changed your mind about this country too?" "Oh, it's not the country." "It's the spirit that counts." "I miss the cold nights." "I miss the people." "I miss real vodka and real conversation." "If you love Russia so much, why did you ever leave?" "They wanted me to kill innocent civilians." "I could not do that." "That is immoral." "And now Americans want me to do the same." "Maybe all governments are evil." "But I am a man of principle." "Yeah, I got a few principles myself." "A few of these snakes would be alright." "I don't know." "Why don't we just go to the authorities?" "These men ARE the authorities." "Yeah, but you don't expect the two of us to take on the war machine, do ya?" "I've been practising." "Jesus!" "What's the range?" "What are the limits?" "Jesus Christ!" "Christ, Ivan you're incredible!" "No more you don't know." "In a couple of hours, my powers will return." "But Ivan." "Jesus Christ!" "Ivan, for all anybody knows, you're just some maniac out there blowing up stuff." "And it just so happens that I have written records of these guys' total activities!" "The factories they own all the Upper Order bullshit, the works!" "This is what we need!" "Where is it?" " Back in Maila's apartment." "Oh shit, we gotta go." "I thought you were bringing these to me." " Of course." "Let's go." "Do we know the identity of this Russian spy?" "Yes!" "His name is Ivan Tigor." "He arrived here two years ago under the cover of a defector seeking asylum." "We believe he's in the company of an American defector," "Doctor Warren Hart." "Could you give us more on the American Scientist?" "Who is he?" "Is he feeding the Russian any classified information?" "We're checking his files right now." "I'll give you more information as it becomes available." "Mister Secretary!" "Mister Secretary, Sir!" " Yes." "Edward." "What are you doing to protect our country, and what does this with regards to our relations with the Russians and Glasnost?" "I have pressed Congress for years to increase our military funding." "I can only hope, and pray to God that they recognize the severity of this situation, and respond now." "I will advise the President to cease diplomatic ties with the Russians." "Are you out of your mind?" "Where do you come off with this "Russian Spy" business?" "What are you trying to do, start World War III?" "But Mister President, the evidence is clear." "He's been blowing up our military installations." "He's been killing" "Now, cut the crap, Fulbright." "This isn't Lafayette, Indiana." "This is Washington, D.C.!" "We've got the world to think about." "Now, I just signed a new trade agreement with the Russians." "As a matter of fact, me and the first lady are planning a trip to Moscow next month." "Now, how's that going to look?" "Us walking down Red Square, and you're down here playing war games?" "But what am I supposed to do, Sir?" " Just catch the damn bastard and eliminate him." "I'll pick up the red phone and smooth things over." "I'll tell them we were misinformed." "Ah, yes" "I thought we were in a hurry." "Ivan, a man has got to eat." "He needs protein." "Come on, eat." "You do not like my snakes." " Ivan, your snakes sucked." "What you need is some good American food." "Now put some ketchup on that and eat it." "More gravy?" "Hart." " I, just asked if you liked it." " Hart" "OH, shit!" "I cannot talk to you now, Captain." "The shields aren't gonna last much longer!" "Smith, will you knock it off?" "Hart?" "Hart, what?" "What's wrong?" "I saw you on TV." "You're not really a Russian spy, are you?" "Of course not!" "Just listen to me." "I'm in big trouble and I need your help." "Yes." "Okay." "That's do-able, but you're really gonna owe me for this one, Warren." "Anything, kiddo." "Now listen to me." "I want you to be careful, and don't let anybody see ya." "There's a lot of Romulans out there." "Aye, aye, Captain!" "Mom!" "I'm going out for a little bit!" "Don't bother me right now, sweetie." "Your mother's very busy." "Okay, Mom!" "Smith, I knew you could do it, honey!" "Come here and give me a hug." "Hi!" "I'm Smith!" "You must be the Russian spy." "Everybody's talking about you two." "Im Ivan Tigor, a friend." "I've never seen such a big Russian before." "Now are you gonna tell me what's REALLY happening?" "I tell ya what, Smith." "When this whole thing blows over, you can write the book." "Honey honey, I don't have time to explain why right now, but you can't come with us." "Here here's twenty bucks." "Take the cab home, okay?" "What?" "You're going to leave a twelve-year-old girl all alone on a dark street at night?" "Aren't you worried about me?" "Not in the slightest." "Come on give me a hug." "I'm gonna take this money and go to Vegas!" "No you're not." "You're gonna go straight home." "Now come here and give me a hug." "Thanks, babe." "Shit Taggart, is that you again?" "Hart?" "Hart." "It all makes sense now." "Let go." "You don't understand." "You're hurting me!" "I understand that you're an assassin and you lied to me!" " I didn't lie!" "Well, you didn't exactly tell me everything!" " I didn't know everything!" "Well, what the hell do you know?" "Who's side are you on, anyway?" "I could not find the computer printouts." " Shit!" " Vaughn took them!" "Vaughn?" "Taggart?" "What the hell is this Special Operations Rest Stop?" "No, dammit!" " Does Vaughn know how I got those printouts?" "DOES VAUGHN KNOW HOW I GOT THOSE PRINTOUTS?" "!" "Hart!" "He will kill you if you try again." "SHIT!" "Pendleton." "We gotta get Pendleton to walk us right in there." "I got enough evidence." "I know he'll help us." "What about her?" "She'll come with us." "Frank?" "FRANK?" "Oh, dammit, Ivan." "Something's wrong." "Frank!" "Oh, shit, Frank!" "Hart" "It is a trap!" " Son-of-a-bitch!" "Get these fuckers!" "Shit!" "Hart back door, keep your head down." "Shit!" "Son-of-a-bitch!" "Shit" "Hart, look out!" "Oh, Christ Christ, Ivan, it'll be a miracle if we get out of here alive." "Miracles happen." "Yeah, but even if we do, all the evidence we have on Vaughn and his gang has been destroyed!" "It's just our word against theirs." "Christ, the whole country's against us." "Every cop and his brother is out looking for us!" "If we are going down, let's take Vaughn with us." ""Lets take Vaughn with us"?" "Okay, lets go for it." "What the hell do I have to live for, anyway?" "Don't be so dramatic." "Almost done." "Yes?" "Yes, they DID show up." "What?" "Well, I will tell you what you could have done, you cretinous idiot." "You could have burned down the whole damn field, that's what you could have done!" "Yes, find her!" "What?" "What happened?" "They got away." " Oh, my God." "I knew it!" "I knew it!" "It's coming apart all around us." "It's fucking out of control!" "I am so tired of hearing that from you." "From everybody." "NOTHING is out of my control." "I have just spent the last tedious half hour with you erasing any and all evidence of our activities from the computer bank." "It's gone now." "Poof, disappeared, history finito." "All that's left are two Russian spies on the loose, tearing out the heart of America's defense." "I told you." "The President doesn't want to hear that." "He's not going to advance that line." "He's already told the Russians we've got the wrong information." "I think it's time we all pulled out of this, Vaughn." "Let things cool down a little bit." "Obviously our president is not aware how grave our danger is." "I must talk to him." "You know he doesn't like you." "This is the last thing I'm going to ask you to do for me, George." "I want to talk to the President." "Arrange it." "It will be a wonderful opportunity for us to show him our new biologicals." "He'll want to see those, won't he?" "I suppose so." " Fine." "You will set up a secret private meeting at the N.I.H. Facilities at Parker Center the day after tomorrow." "Can you at least manage that?" "I want you there, too." "Okay, okay!" "Better start being careful, Ivan." "It's up around the next turn." "Jesus Christ, that was Fulbright's car." " Let's go." "Vaughn here." "I'm calling a special session at dawn." "Inform the others." "Okay, now what?" "Ivan, Ivan, look." "It's Vaughn's car." "He's here!" "Let's go get him!" "No, no." "We have to get past security." "Let's wait." "We'll have a better chance of getting him when he leaves." "Ivan" " No, no, no." "For now, we rest." "What?" "What's going on?" " I do not know." "Christ." "It looks like a Fortune 500 caravan." "Well that's Ellis Shaw." "Oh, my God!" "That's Peter DeVries." "Ivan." "Thats the Upper Order." "Gentlemen, the time of ascenscion is at hand." "And you're all going to help me prepare." "This is it." "We'll never get another chance like this again." "They're all here." " Would we have to get in?" "Yeah Christ." "I've seen you deflect bullets." "I've seen you blow up the whole side of a frigging cliff!" "Come on, let's go!" "You are forgetting my powers are limited!" "When I exhaust them, I have them no more." "Ivan this is a one shot deal." "We have the gate guards, we have the guards in the lobby. thats all." "That is all?" "Just get me up to Vaughn." "After that, if you're running on empty I'll finish him." "My friend, you have been incredible up to now." "You have surprised me and I admire that." "But this is Special Operations we are up against at their home base." "You are just scientist." "I've had a lot of experience killing germs." "Ivan, this is our best shot." "Use some of that brain power of yours and blast us through this fence!" "Let's just climb this one." "And when these charges detonate, from all locations simultaneously, the N.I.H. Facility will will be blown to pieces, releasing all those deadly germs which they've been breeding there for years." "Thousands of people will die, this will bring public outcry to our side, and eliminate our only remaining impediment." "The President?" " The President." "He and Fulbright will be conducting a tour of the Facilities at that time." "Sublime, isn't it?" "This was never part of the plan, the President?" "Assassination!" "Oh, please!" "You've murdered thousands of innocent people just like that." "and you're worried about killing the President?" "Vaughn, this is the most demented plan I've ever had the pleasure to be a part of." "Aren't you worried about who will have to replace the President?" "In time we'll have to take care of that too, won't we?" "I won't be a party to this." " Yes, but it's my party." "And I invited you, because you're all petty, and larcenous and you'll do exactly as I instruct." "Don't worry." "YouVe safe in here." "Let's see what this is all about." "Get us more help." "They're getting through." "Vaughn, open the fucking door!" "Bingo." "Do you stuff, Ivan." "I'll cover your back." "Oh, Jesus!" "I guess you would call this your basic Mexican Stand-off Except for one thing, we've got old Firehead here on our side." "Do your stuff, Ivan." "What the hell is that thing?" " That is a Parabolic Phase Shifter." "It cancels out his power and sends it right back to him." "I've been working on it for some time." "Ivan, Ivan, stop it!" "That thing is gonna kill ya!" "Ivan!" "Yes, I'd rate this trial run a major triumph." "I suggest you drop your weapon, Hart." "It's out of bullets anyways." "Set him down!" " A little pushy aren't we." "Make sure he has his I.D. card." "Jesus" " Good." "Now give me the gun." "You crazy son of a bitch." "You see, when they dig through the rubble and find your bodies, it'll look like Special Operations here made a valiant attempt to stop you and Ivan." "They'll probably give him a medal." "Ivan was right, wasn't he?" "You're gonna blow up the N.I.H. Facility, aren't you?" "Oh yes, dozens of charges planted all over the place." "It will seem as you and your Russian friend were taking no chances." "Hey, Vaughn." "What about Ivan?" "Is he still alive?" "I hardly think that matters now, do you?" "So you're just gonna release all these biologicals into the atmosphere, huh?" "That's not the half of it." "Yeah?" "I only wish I had the time to share it with you." "Oh my God." "The President?" "Oh, Jeez." "So good of you to come down Sir, and give me a chance to show you what we're doing down here." "And I have some very, very good news for you." "It better be good, Vaughn." "I don't have a lot of time." "I should say not, Sir." " I mean, I have a press conference this afternoon where I have to diffuse all this Russian spy crap you've drummed up here." "Well, that's what I want to talk to you about, Sir." "It's all been taken care of." "We have him!" " What?" "Where is he?" "Mister Secretary!" "Please." "Ivan?" "Ivan!" "Vaughn!" "Right in here, Sir." "Please sit there." "Be comfortable, please excuse me." "The Department of defense presents "A Prelude To War"." "Where you holding the Russian spy?" "Let's cut all this "coming attractions" business." "Get to the main attraction!" "I'll go check on our prisoner while you Sir, enjoy this little demonstration." "Vaughn?" "Vaughn?" "These startling images could become a reality in the very near future." "The latest advances in bio-chemical warfare pose a great threat to our civilian population." "Oh, Jesus" "Ivan come on, come on Ivan we've gonna need you." "Come on!" "Please!" "I've come to help you!" "They've tried to disarm you." "It's deadly to the nervous system." "I gave you an injection of neo-stigmine but it'll only last for about an hour!" "Look, I just got you loose!" "They're gonna blow this whole place up!" "You've got to help me stop it!" "Where's Hart?" "Is he alright?" "He's somewhere in this building." "I must find Hart." "Wait. shouldn't we diffuse this thing first?" "Can you zap it?" "I don't know." "It would set it off." "Well, I've seen enough of this twaddle." "Let's go." "Ivan, you go find Hart." "I'll try to dismantle this in the meantime." "Oh, shit." "Hart!" " Ivan!" "Ivan!" "Ivan!" "Jesus Christ!" "It's good to see you, man!" "I thought the damn machine had killed you." "Are you alright?" " For now." "What do you mean, "for now"?" " First, we take care of this." "Ivan, what do you mean "for now"?" "What did those bastards do to you?" "Injected my bloodstream with poison." "If it is not replaced within a very few hours, I will die." "Oh, my God." "Or it will blow up right now!" "God damn it!" "Let's go." "In here!" "Make sure the President is safe in here." "I'll go check outside." "What the hell are you doing?" " She's with us." " What?" "She's with us." " When we're out of this mess, I'll explain everything." "There's no need to explain anything." "Listen, Hart, I came back here to save you and Ivan." "What are you talking about?" " It's true." "Think about it." "Right now we gotta go save the President before this building blows up." "What do you mean the president, what are you talking about?" "It's part of Vaughn's plan." "Clever plan, isn't it?" "Those are the spies trying to escape!" "Get them!" "Kill them!" "Ivan!" "Jesus, Ivan, your hand!" "Right here in my lab!" "Stop!" "Don't shoot!" "Don't shoot!" " I am not a Russian spy!" "Look, I'm a Special Operations agent." "Vaughn has gone crazy." "He's setting off bombs throughout the building!" "He's trying to make it look like Ivan did it." "They're going to destroy the place!" " What?" "Here?" "In this building?" "I knew that Vaughn was up to something big, but..." "You better tell me what's going on, Fulbright!" "Well uh, well, Sir, let me clarify it's all this I mean it's true." "It's all true." "It's been his plan since the beginning." "He's gonna kill us all!" "We gotta get outta here!" "Sir, this is my lab." "In each one of those canisters over there is an experimental virus that would wipe out the entire state of Montana." "I suggest we take them, too." "Well, come on, man." "Let's give them a hand." "Do not worry." "Close the door!" "Stand guard." "#NUCLEAR DEFENSE CIRCUTRY OPEN IN EVENT OF IMMINENT ATTACK#" "Shit!" "Son-of-a-bitch!" "It's Vaughn!" "He has activated the radiation defense shield!" "What does that mean?" " What does it mean?" "It means we ain't going anywhere." "We're sealed in, there's no way out." "Well, I don't want to just stand here and die, and Im sure nobody else does either." "Now why doesn't somebody do something?" "Okay, alright." "Look, Sir, take your men." "Get up to the roof emergency exit." "Take those biologicals with ya." "Ivan come on, we gotta go after Vaughn." "Hart, he can't go." "I'll go." " Uh, alright." "Give me a gun." " Give 'em your goddamn gun!" "Come on!" "Here." "Alright, the way I see it, we got two options one, we find the detonator, or two, we find every bomb that Vaughn has hidden." "Do we know where the bombs are?" " No." "Do we know where the detonator is?" " No." "Good, then we've got all the cards." "Look, while we're at it, let's try and find the radiation Defense Shield Activator." "At least that way the other people might be able to get out of here, alright?" "Right." "NO, thats not gonna work!" "We got the same system at the White House." "Got stuck once, just like this." "Shouldn't these things be made to open up from the inside?" "We should call for help, Sir." "Get the fucking National Guard out here or something!" "Ivan, what are you doing, get down!" "Ivan!" "Seventeen, sixteen." "What is it?" " I'm sorry, Mister President." "They can't get us out of here." "Ivan!" "Ivan!" " Twelve" "Carry Ivan over there I'm going after Vaughn." "Damn it, it's locked!" " Eight" "What are you trying to do?" " Don't worry I came prepared." "Six" "Now that was clean, babe." "Clean as a wolf's tooth." "Oh, Hello!" "Do I get a seat down there?" "Come on." "Let's take a little trip to the Carribean," "Just you and me and a gross of beetles?" "I dont think she bought it." "You want me to read to you?" " What are you reading?" "Batman." " I don't want you to read to me." "Whoosh!" "Crumble!" "Vrroom!" "What is this word?" " Zap." "Zap?" "Zap!" " Hello, boys." " Hey!" "What have you got?" " I've got you!" "Well, if she's got him, I've got you." "What are you reading?" "Batman?" "He's a wimp compared to you two." " Now hold on just a second, Smith!" "You know that Batman has to do what he does every day of the week?" "See that crazy Cossack over there on your right?" "He and I are finished with this stuff for good." "I would like to conclude this National Security Council meeting today with a prayer that this kind of dangerous and evil incident will never, never occur again."
