if there's any problem.

Like that? Okay.

Right now, that would be you.

But you don't have a problem.

Yeah, I do.

I don't know...

...how to make chicken.

Scrabble?

Shake 'N Bake?

I'll shake, you bake?

I want to shake.

- Hey, Pete.

- How's it going?

- Good. How are you?

- Good. It's good to see you.

- You want your ticket?

- All right!

- Thanks for giving me a chance.

- I wanted to see you.

- Really?

- Yeah.

- You look great.

- Thank you.

I've thought a lot about us.

No, no, no.

I know you have something to say...

...but I have something to say too.

I've been thinking a lot about you

and me and, well, us.

And I know that we have these crazy

lives, but I can't help it.

I love you.

Searching Red Starmainframe

for Knox Technologies software.

Software not detected.

Coming.

Hello.

Trick or treat for UNICEF.

That's a very nice costume,

young lady.

It glows in the dark.

I hope you like to dance.

Are you kidding? I love to dance!

You. You want to dance on-stage?

Us?

Yes!

No, the stage is for the ladies.

Oh, never mind. I'll just find

a spot on the floor.

No, no, wait.

This is Soul Train's highest honor.

I won't let you not go up there.

Yeah, she'll go.

Really? I've always wanted

to go up there!

Have a great time.

Okay. I'll be back.

Ms. Wood, there are some lines

that I never cross.

Lines have never stopped me.

It's "Miss. " And it's "Vivian. "

Okay. Miss Vivian.

Okay, Miss Vivian. You're a pro.

I mean, you're not a pro,

but you're an executive.

We must keep our relationship

professional.

May I?

I'll get you a glass.

She's pretty great, isn't she?

I said, she's pretty great, right?

You guys are in really good shape.

Definitely. Definitely.

All right. The Robot!

Go, white girl!

Go, white girl!

That's old school, right? Definitely.

I'm Pete. How are you?

The Running Man! Look!

Incredible! It was great!

I'm having so much fun!

This is so exciting!

You know, I have to go number one.

Look...

...what I'm trying to say is...

...will you marry me?

Oh, no, baby! Baby?!

Baby?! God, no.

Damn you, Salazar.

Damn you, Salazar!

Cut!

Was that over the top?

It felt over the top.

No. That is the best shot, the best

scene, the best movie on the planet!

Hi.

How was your day? Great.

You know how superheroes have these

secret identities, where they...

No. No superheroes.

You're an action star.

I get a lot of action.

That is so lame.

Hey, girls, you having fun?

I'm having so much fun

I could just die.

Jason, I'm one-third of an elite

crime-fighting team...

...backed by an anonymous millionaire.

Yes, that's it.

What are you doing here?

Perfect.

Come on! Go! Hit it!

Murphy O'Meyer...

...that does it.

Who sent you?

Who?!

Woo... Woo...

- Who?

- Woo...

- Vivian...

- Spit it out!

Vivian Wood!

You b*tch.

I love a fire.

Hey.

Oh, my God! You're hit!

No. I mean, the squibs hurt a bit

when they go off, but I'm fine.

What happened to my trailer?

I haven't been honest with you.

Were you in there when that happened?

Look at it.

I'm not a bikini waxer.

Bummer. I mean, that was

kind of a turn-on.

I have to go.

- Charlie?

- Yeah.

I have to go,

but will you call me tomorrow?

- Of course.

- Great. Thanks.

Excuse me.

You're bad.

Guys, finally you warm up a bit.

Dylan? It's Nat. Vivian Wood

is a fake and an all-around b*tch.

Her assassin just paid me a visit.

We gotta warn Knox.

I'm at his house now.

You are?

You know what?

Call Alex and meet me at the agency.

Dylan! Sh*t.

Don't stand next to the window,

it's not safe.

Toga.

Listen, I just found out that...

Who's that?

Working undercover?

It's a full-service job.

I'll bet.

I can see by your "gown"

that you're unarmed.

Some maniac could just stroll in

and blow you both to bits.

Viv, you're obsessed. All work

and no play makes Viv a dull girl.

I have to tie up some loose ends here,

so take a seat.

Want some champagne?

"Enemy. "

I know.

Sad news.

Your girlfriends are dead.

And Corwin?

I don't think it's gonna work out,

you and me.

Which is a real bummer,

since you, Dylan...

...are a tomcat in the sack.

Let me get this straight. You're a

woman. Women have natural intuition.

And you're a detective. And you had

no idea that this was going to happen?

- I knew.

- She knew.

And I know what'll happen next.

Tell her, baby.

All the Angels are going to heaven.

And Bosley?

We'll keep him. We like him.

And his computer.

He's special.

Corwin had nothing to do with this.

No. But I never really liked him.

- And the kidnapping was a setup.

- Afraid so.

And Red Star was a setup.

You got it all figured out.

Any other questions?

Why?

Ask your boss.

Charlie?

You're after Charlie.

Charlie, Charlie, Charlie.

They say that in death...

...all life's questions are answered.

Will you let me know?

Let's go get Charlie.

Come on.

Are you all right?

- What's going on?

- Something's going on.

Where's Dylan?

They say in death,

all life's questions are answered.

Will you let me know?

What are we doing?

House of Pancakes? Sizzler?

You are the cheapest man

on the planet.

What did it look like?

Oh, I don't know. It was, like,

all cool and stuff.

You've never seen a booby.

- Have too.

- Have not.

- I've seen lots of boobies.

- Yeah, right.

A little help?

Don't ask.

Where's Knox? Is he okay?

Oh, he's great. He's the bad guy.

The kidnapping was a setup.

He's behind it all.

What? Why?

He wasn't exactly forthcoming

when he shot me out the window.

Bosley!

He's safe! Knox already has him.

Wait a minute.

Let me get this straight.

Bosley's with the man...

...who tried to kill us. That's safe?

He won't kill Bosley

until he kills Charlie.

Kills Charlie?

Oh, Jesus.

I don't know what his plan is,

but I know that we can stop him.

If Knox thinks we're dead,

why blow up the agency?

Why does he want Charlie?

We do know that he wanted us

to break into Red Star.

Imagine how dangerous this would be

in the wrong hands.

Knox used us to access the mainframe

not to get back his software...

...but for control of their global

positioning satellites.

Knox's software can match Charlie's

voice over the phone.

And use Red Star satellites

to track him.

But why would Knox go to so much

trouble to find Charlie?

That's the guy who killed him.

They were in Army Intelligence

together.

His best friend turned on him.

Knox thinks Charlie killed his father.

So if he can intercept

Charlie's call...

...he can locate him.

But Knox has to get Charlie

on the phone first.

- But the only one Charlie calls is...

- Bosley.

May I have some ice water, please?

Fly to me, Angels! Please come!

Please fly to me, Angels!

I had a long talk with a squirrel once.

Longer than I've talked to most humans.

Hello?

Hello?

Hello. Hello out there.

Any sign of Bosley's laptop?

They must have taken it.

- We should check Knox's place.

- Let's go.

I'll drive.
