Synopsis: 11-year-old Davey, whose mother is dead and whose father doesn't spend nearly enough time with him. So the boy loses himself in video games--and even has an imaginary friend, a super-resourceful secret agent. When he accidentally comes into possession of a spy group's secret plans, and winds up on the run from them, he must learn to rely on himself and his imaginary pal to save his skin. But, in the end, Dad proves to be his real hero.

store information.

Input, output...

What kind of information?

Government plans, maybe?

It could be

anything really.

Tell you one thing,

whoever put this in

really went through

a lot of trouble.

Think you can

break the code?

The key is

how to get to it.

I've got an idea.

The guy who gave it to me said

something about some numbers.

What numbers?

1 million...

329...something.

I bet you anything

that's the secret code

that we're looking for.

Can you think

of anything else?

No.

Davey,

are you alone?

That reminds me,

Davey,

I want to get those

walkie-talkies back.

Sure, Morris.

Flack to Lady Ace.

Come in, Lady Ace.

I'm here.

Kim, where are you?

Your house.

Get out of there!

The spies are there!

Kim?

Seems we each

have something

the other wants,

don't we, kid?

Yeah.

We might consider a trade.

How's that sound?

Just leave her alone.

She doesn't know anything.

She does now.

Do you know the

Japanese sunken gardens?

Yeah.

Good.

We'll meet you

there at noon.

If you tell anybody

about this,

we'll break your

little friend in half.

Don't give it

to 'em, Davey.

Rule number 2:
Never, never

play by the enemy's rules.

I have to give

them something.

I couldn't

take that.

We do it

all the time.

It's called, um...

commandeering necessary

mission equipment.

Stop right there.

Cut the crap, kid.

Give me the tape.

Come any closer and you're

gonna be diving for it.

Now, are we

gonna make a trade

or are we gonna start

dropping things?

Davey!

Why do you want it

so bad?

It's just a kid's game.

Well, let's just say

I'm a kid at heart.

Why don't you

go buy your own?

They don't cost much.

Look, kid, don't

outsmart yourself.

I got

a couple of friends

and we play, too,

you know.

If I don't hand that

over to them by 5:30,

your little friend there

is gonna die.

All right,

just put it down,

and I'll let her go.

You let Kim go first.

Sure.

Anything you say.

Your turn.

Freeze, turkey!

Take my advice.

Don't follow us.

Otherwise,

I'll have to use this.

Little punk!

Ah!

What?

Boy, am I glad

to see you!

Come on!

It's the wrong one!

Oh, what's going on?

Hurry up!

Let's get out of here!

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thanks, Davey.

What for?

You saved my life.

What were you doing

in my house anyway?

I thought

you weren't coming over.

I wasn't,

but then I felt bad

'cause I hurt

your feelings.

I was just mad

'cause you got me in

trouble yesterday,

and I thought

you were dumb

because of all

that murder stuff.

I never thought

it could be real.

Me, neither.

I'm really sorry,

Davey.

That's ok, Kim.

It's gonna be

all right.

Uh-oh!

I'm gonna get the tape now.

We have no further use for

the kid, do you understand?

Yes,

I understand.

We've got to

get out of here.

I'll make 'em

follow me.

You get to Morris'

as quickly as you can,

and tell him

what's happened.

But they'll kill you

if they catch you.

No, they won't.

I'm the only one

who knows where

the real tape is.

Sir, uh, I got

to get off here.

Sorry, junior. We're not

allowed to stop along here.

But it's an emergency.

It's only 3 blocks to the bus

station and everybody gets off.

But I feel sick...

What?

Yeah, like I'm

gonna throw...Ulp!

Run, Davey! Run!

Why is he

shooting at me?

He must've found out

where the cartridge is.

1 million,

329...

That's it.

I'll be right there!

The following material

is for A-4 security

clearance personnel only.

It is a federal crime

to view such material

without proper

authorization.

Bingo.

I said I'd be

right there.

Looking for

something?

Someone's trying

to kill me.

Well, uh,

why don't you

kill them first?

Don't encourage

him, Henry.

Your food's

getting cold.

Would you

please go away?

Listen, I'm trying

to contact the FBI.

Would you help me?

Get me a direct line

to J. Edgar Hoover.

This is an emergency.

Hoover's dead,

Henry.

Oh, my God,

they've gotten Hoover!

Now we're all goners!

Sorry, kid.

Can't help you.

Stand still, Davey.

They wouldn't dare

shoot at you

with all these

people around here.

In fact, the more people,

the better.

Over there.

Thank you.

Enjoy your ride.

One child?

Uh...yes, ma'am.

That'll be

50 cents.

Thank you.

Enjoy your ride.

Thanks.

One adult,

2 children.

There he is.

Let's get him.

I'll get him.

No, just get

in line. Get in line.

Hey, buddy,

wait your turn.

I'll go get him

out of there.

No, no, just

take it easy now.

Not now.

Tickets, please.

Thank you.

Your ticket, son.

Hey, here you go.

Sorry, sir.

All full. You'll have to

wait for the next boat.

We want this one.

I'm sorry, I can't take

any more passengers.

There'll be another boat

in 10 or 15 minutes.

Howard...Howard,

my wallet's gone!

Are you sure?

Of course I'm sure!

Don't panic.

Don't panic.

We'll go back over every

step we've been over

and see if we can

find it somewhere.

Come on!

Hurry!

Welcome aboard,

ladies and gentlemen.

My name is Hal.

Now, our tour through the

Downtown San Antonio River

shall take approximately

25 to 30 minutes.

Now, if you have

any questions

or anything you'd like to

ask me as we go along,

please do not hesitate

to do so.

I'm gonna get

close to the boy.

When I give you the signal,

create a diversion.

How?

I don't care how,

just as long as people

aren't looking at me.

Sir, would you

kindly have a seat?

You're supposed

to sit down.

Thank you.

Ladies

and gentlemen,

I'd like to call

your attention

to the building coming up

here to the left-hand side

which is the Ahmanson

River Theatre.

Parties and fiestas are held

there almost every day

during the summer months...

George.

What?

Look.

Look at them.

Sit down.

What's wrong, boy?

You wouldn't believe me

if I told you, ma'am.

Try me.

That man over there

is trying to kill me.

Huh?

Sir, uh...

please sit down.

Move!

Huh? Why?

Because I said so.

Now move.

Don't be ridiculous.

Looks like a pervert,

if you ask me.

George, we've got to

do something about this.

What?

The building here

to my right-hand side

is the old

San Antonio Library

which contains the Huntsberg

Circus Collection,

with 20,000 exhibits depicting

American circus life.

The building that you see

straight ahead

is the Power

and Light Building.

Fire!

Where?

There!

In the engine!

Everybody back

to your seats, please,

and don't panic!

Go back to your seats,

everybody, please.

Thank you.

I'm sorry.

Sir.

Why don't you guys

sit down

and quit

rocking the boat?

Yeah!

Sit down!

It's for

your own safety.

Please sit down.

We'll continue

the tour.

Morris!

Kim!

What happened

to you?

Nothing.

Where's Morris?

I don't know,

but look.

Davey,

do you think they...

No. Morris is

too smart for them.

We'll find him.

I think

he's already dead.

Shut up!

You don't know that!

I'm sorry.

What do we do now?

No use calling my dad.

Why don't you call your mom

and tell her

Rice is going to do something
