Make sure you put

my initials on the big toe.

People need to know

whose feet this is.

That's Vas. Where's the cellphone?

Phone, phone, pho-phone.

Thank you.

Hello?

Yeah, we'll be there.

It's Vas.

The deal's on in an hour.

Now your eye.

Look right into the computer screen.

Wait for confirmation.

Okay, that's it.

All right, from this point on,

only you will be able to access

your computer.

It won't operate without

your retinal signature-- your eyes.

So, when they show you the bomb,

connect to your laptop,

determine if the bomb is the real thing

and take enough time doing it...

so Welles can download

their arming codes,

and hopefully, their disarming codes,

into our computer.

Good luck, Mr. Hayes.

We have visual.

You'll do fine. Everyone's nervous

their first day of school.

I always cut the first day of school.

Don't worry. We're covered

from every angle.

Can't wait to meet "The Hammer."

These guys must be the toolbox.

- Should we move in, sir? - No, not until

we're sure they brought the bomb.

There's too much at stake.

Nice coat.

Gentlemen, are we going

to do business, or aren't we?

Depends, Michael. Where have

you been for the last 9 days?

- I don't believe that concerns you.

- On the contrary.

It concerns me very much.

We make a deal, you disappear.

Doesn't look good, my friend.

Head's up, McCain,

be advised, targets are on.

Maintain your positions.

Everyone maintain your position.

Copy that, sir.

Do we have a problem?

I don't know. You tell me,

do we have a problem?

Do We?

Give me the cellphone

I gave you earlier.

Don't Worry,

I only made collect calls.

- Look, I don't know what this is about,

but... - No, you don't. So shut up.

Neither does Mr. Turner.

You see, this cellphone has

a global positioning system.

In a moment it will tell me exactly

where you've been the last 9 days.

Fantastic?

Well, haven't you been busy.

You get around.

Berlin, Rome, Zurich.

And not one decent treasure

to show for it.

- Well, where's the money?

- Where's the products?

- Nearby.

- So, how do we do this?

I'm gonna call you on this cellphone.

Then you have one hour

to get the money, Michael.

Then I'll call you again and tell you

where to bring it to. You understand?

Well, I'm gonna have to

run some tests.

So make sure you bring

authentic merchandise.

Fair enough. I wouldn't buy a car

without checking under the hood.

- Are we agreed?

- Yes.

No. I'm not bringing money anywhere.

No?

I'll have someone transfer the remaining

19 million when Mr. Turner tells us...

we have a viable device;

it will be done by computer.

One of my men will be

standing by at this address.

You will send one of your brain trusts

to verify the money's in your account.

- And that's it.

- We'll give you a hostage?

Yeah, and you'll get one.

We'll call it a security deposit,

which neither of us will get back

if we screw up or if we leave a mess.

It's that simple.

Now we have an agreement, I think.

Agreed.

Don't you go disappearing

on me again, Michael.

Hey, you did real well, Mr. Hayes.

You knew they wouldn't bring it, right?

Standard procedure. Guys like him won't

risk getting screwed on the first date.

And what if you hadn't changed

the chip in the phone?

Well, it would have told him that the

phone had already traveled...

to CIA headquarters in Langley, and

they'd of shot both of us in the head.

- I'm hungry, how about you?

- I think I'm gonna pass.

Goodnight.

Even if I

Forget why

You'll always give me

Another reason

This is no empty promise

I can depend upon it

You'll always love me

like that

Michael!

Hi.

This place comes with everything?

Could you... hand me a towel?

Very funny.

I knew you'd be surprised.

I didn't think you'd be shocked.

- You want some room service?

- No, I'd like a good, stiff drink.

Sh*t. It's Nicole.

What?

This isn't exactly

the welcome I expected.

What's up?

Honey, I made dinner reservations

at our favorite place.

- I love that place.

- Honey, aren't you happy to see me?

- Yeah!

- Good.

I gotta get that.

I'll be right back.

- How are you doing?

- Well, you see how I'm doin'.

We have a problem.

Yeah. Where I'm from, people pay

a lot of money for problems like that.

That's Nicole. That's Kevin's-- I mean,

Michael's girlfriend.

She works for CNN in Europe.

So how come you didn't tell me

Michael had a girlfriend?

Well, they broke up several weeks ago.

They had a fight and she walked out.

Well, it looks like she forgave him. What

the hell did he fight with her fine ass for?

Well, apparently he had

intimacy problems. He was distant.

Some kind of psychotherapy crap.

Anyway, she went off to cover the Balkans.

- Okay, so what do you want me to do?

- Take her to dinner.

She's CNN. If you handle this badly,

she could blow your cover.

- Okay?

- Okay.

Don't cheat, just eat.

Don't cheat, just eat.

That was Jehovah's Witnesses.

Don't cheat, just eat.

Michael?

I hope you're hungry, baby.

Yeah, I just gotta go brush my teeth.

Hey, you've reached the residence

of Pam, Marvin, Julie and the kids.

- Leave a message at the tone.

- Julie, this is Jake. Are you there?

Okay, if you haven't left yet,

please wait for me.

Please, please. I got a new job.

It's totally legit, and I've changed.

I have totally changed.

I'm a new man.

I'm the man who loves you.

I love you. I love you so much.

I didn't even know how much

I loved you till 2 minutes ago.

- It's Jake. I love him!

-Julie-- No, you don't!

I'm ready to make big sacrifices.

- Honey, what's taking you so long?

- Big sacrifices.

Please wait for me.

Jake, I heard you.

I heard every word, baby.

I'm not going anywhere.

I'll be right here.

I love you so much. Jake?

If you'd like to make a call,

please hang up and try again.

If you'd like to make a call,

please hang--

I need to find a place

My own space

Thank you.

So, you gonna make me grovel?

No, not unless you want to.

- Is this fish?

- Yeah, of course. You love fish.

That's right, I love fish.

But that's before I became a vegetarian.

Waiter. Waiter. I can't eat this.

Can you get me something else?

How about a steak, medium well,

please? Thanks a lot.

I thought you were a vegetarian.

Vegetarian? I'll eat a pig's ass

if they cook it right.

But enough about me.

How about those Balkans?

I missed you, Michael.

I'm sorry I left.

- What's the matter?

- There's somebody else.

There is?

When did that happen?

- Right after you left.

- I left you 2 weeks ago.

I mean...

did you meet her here in Prague?

No, in Jersey.

- New Jersey?

- Yeah, I was in New York,

and Jersey's right next to New York,

and I just took a little day trip--

Who is she? What does she do?

Well, she's a nurse's aide

at St Sebastian's Hospital.

Her name's Julie.

She's got curly hair.

I get it.

You want me to jump through a couple of

hoops before you take me back. Okay.

I have it coming.
