Thanks.

This place, it's Japanese, is it not?

It's a 13th-century Shinto temple.

I had it...

I had it FedEx'd from Kyoto.

Blowfish?

Isn't that poisonous?

It's a rare delicacy for the man who

has no fear of an excruciating death.

Technically, 1 in 60 is fatal.

Tastes like chicken.

That would go

very nicely with broccoli.

The man laughs at death.

Good work, Bos.

Get him to talk about Knox.

At last, a worthy adversary.

Let's see if you can survive

a test of intuition and judgment.

Nat, that bartender is cute.

I'm working.

He likes you.

Go back and flirt a little.

That was fast.

I'm not called Balls-Out Natalie

for nothing.

Right.

I never saw you working here before.

I'm new. I'm like a virgin.

I mean, it's my first time...

...here at Corwin's.

Oh, boy. She's going down.

No way. He's into her.

Justpick up the tray and walk away.

No, no. Stay. Stay and talk to him.

Flip your hair.

Flip your goddamn hair.

Excuse me. I don't usually do this,

but I was wondering...

Unless you're already

seeing someone else.

Yeah.

- Of course you are.

- No!

I'm not seeing anyone.

Free.

Okay, Thursday?

My favorite day.

Great. I'll get tickets.

I love tickets.

What do you know?

A guy who speaks Natalie.

Where's J. D?

Will somebody help me up, please?

Hello, girls? Are you hearing me?

Thin Man, 10:
00.

Why do they always run?

Watch it!

Nat!

Brace!

Jump!

Check them all!

- Clear!

- Clear!

Clear!

Knox.

Great work, Angels,

but our job's only half-finished.

There's still the matter

of Mr. Knox's stolen technology.

What's so special about your software?

It's... It's really quite amazing.

We developed a program. You see,

everyone's voice is unique.

It has a unique signature...

...like a snowflake.

And it can be mapped...

Audio DNA. It makes it impossible to

disguise or scramble a voice signal.

Which is why Corwin wants it.

Of course. All Red Star's satellites

have global positioning systems.

Combine that

with voice identification...

- any cell phone could be a homing

device.

No one could hide.

Imagine how dangerous this would be

in the wrong hands.

The end of privacy.

That's where you come in, Angels.

Corwin is premiering his Red Star

racerat the California Speedway.

Our chance to plant

a hidden camera on Corwin.

Looks like it's off to the races,

Angels.

When Roger Corwin first got

involved in the world of racing...

...a lot of people said it was

a stopgap for my waning libido.

I had them all fired.

What's so funny? I did.

Thanks for coming

to this little test run.

Nat...

...I'm going in.

But what can I say?

It's a Red Star day for me.

Then it's back

to the day-to-day grind...

...of world domination

and enslavement.

Hi.

Work your magic.

It's hot out there.

It's hot in here too.

Maybe I can make

you more comfortable.

Oh, I've come undone.

That feels good.

Thank you.

I like what you've done with it.

Ours has bigger mirrors.

I love cars.

You like fast cars?

I like fast everything.

Oh, my God.

Thanks for the ride.

You're welcome.

Mission accomplished. Tomorrow,

Corwin will give us a tour of Red Star.

Ride 'em, cowboy. Make me proud.

Nat!

What's going on?

We got a friend on the track.

That creep from Chinatown.

Creepy Thin Man.

It's a round track.

He's not going anywhere.

She's going after him.

The microcamera has allowed us

to study Red Star's layout.

The mainframe is right behind

that door.

That's where my software would be,

but the security looks incredible.

- Restricted access.

- Fingerprint I.D.

Retinal scanner.

Angels, break it down.

Only two Red Star directors

can access the mainframe.

To gain access, they have

to synchronize their entrance.

A gelatin scanning plate

takes exact fingerprints.

A laser accurate to. 009 millimeters

scans the retina.

It is accessible only through

a monitored airless antechamber.

There's only one way to get through

undetected:
Be invisible.

The floor is rigged

with pressure sensitivity.

Any contact exceeding. 25 seconds

triggers the alarm.

Sounds impossible.

Sounds like fun.

Director 1

Director 2

Mein Siegenbock ist sexy!

They got the wrong address.

You ready to whip them into shape,

Alex?

You must be Miss Aarons. I'm Doris.

Sorry about the confusion.

I had you scheduled for next week.

I don't know what happened.

That's what I'm here to find out.

You are the efficiency expert.

Yes.

I am.

B*tch.

I heard that.

Your methodologies are antiquated

and weak.

Your procedures of approval ensure

that only the least radical ideas...

...are rewarded.

Meanwhile, your competition is

innovating!

Ow.

You.

What was the last

suggestion you made?

To make the Coke machine free.

Why?

Caffeine helps us program.

Perfect. Smart...

...simple and logical.

What did your boss say?

He said no.

Question!

Who builds this company's products?

You do.

Engineers do.

Not managers.

They should be answering to you,

not you to them!

Who else has an idea

like this man's Coke machine?

All right! Tell me.

Better yet...

...can anyone show me?

Red Star Mainframe Level 4

It's not working.

There's only one way to get through

undetected:
Be invisible.

The flooris rigged

with pressure sensitivity.

Any contact which exceeds. 25 seconds

will trigger the alarm.

Thank you, sir.

I hope you don't mind

if we look around.

So we have complete access

to Red Star's computer.

And they have no idea

we can peek inside.

You guys are tremendous. Thanks.

I need evidence of Knox Technologies

software in the Red Star system.

- Where is it?

- Bosley has it in the laptop.

It has a direct link

to the Red Star mainframe.

Bosley?

Maybe we should be doing

our own analysis.

Surely Eric would be

the best person to...

Our goal was to learn if Red Star

had stolen your software.

It would be unethical

to let you access their systems.

If we get proof, we'll tell you.

That makes sense.

That's cool. Right?

Right, Viv?

You know, Knox may not be

out of danger yet.

Smile. Don't panic the client.

One of us should check

security at his house.

Absolutely. I agree.

- Everything okay?

- Yeah. Nothing up here.

Wow, that was cool.

Who's the Green Beret?

My dad.

That's nice.

That's the guy who killed him.

Yeah. They were

in Army Intelligence together.

This was his best friend

and he turned on him.

I'm sorry.

Thanks.

Why do you keep it?

To remind me:
Be careful who you

trust. Don't take any wooden nickels.

What about you?

Did you ever have parents?

I mean... I know you have parents,

but I mean...

Where's your mom?

She died when I was 6,

and I never met my father.

You never met your father?

Now you work for...

...a man you've never seen.

That's an interesting trend.

That was smooth.

Want to play Scrabble?

Don't worry about it.

I got somebody...

That's okay.

What are they called? You know...

So, okay.

- This is a panic button.

- Okay.

If you just press it,

then any one of us...

...whoever's closest, will be here
