with the tape at 5:30?

Make her

call the police.

Even if she

doesn't believe you,

we need a grown-up.

Ok. What are you

going to do?

I'm going to try to

find Rice and stop him.

How?

I don't know yet.

Well, you going to

stand here all day?

I'm waiting

for the light

to change.

Come on.

They won't hit you if

you just keep moving.

Crazy kid!

He said he had to be

somewhere at 5:
30.

Means he'll probably

take his car.

There. "Textronics."

"Rice."

There's no place

to hide in there.

Open the trunk.

Oh.

What's the matter?

Oh. Tough.

It's now or never.

Come on.

In there?

Hurry up.

Hold it down.

Don't close it shut.

Just hold it down.

Oh! Jack?

Agent X, help.

Help me.

Get him off me.

Isn't it crowded enough

for you in here?

Oh.

Here.

He was my friend.

How could they

do that to him?

I guess he just

wasn't good enough.

Yeah, but they didn't

have to kill him.

When you've been playing

this game as long as I have,

you get used to

this kind of thing.

We've stopped.

Better see where we are.

What happens now?

We just wait

a couple minutes.

I'll walk over there

and make the drop.

So who gets

the game?

I don't know, and I

don't want to know.

We just leave the case,

we wait a few minutes,

take the money.

Only thing I know about

these people is one of them's

missing a couple fingers

from his right hand.

Well, remember

the Alamo, boys.

Sure as hell

don't tell you much.

Enough.

It's time to go.

Remember, you can win or lose

the game right here.

...taxation

without representation.

In fact,

they were quite angry,

but they did not

want to fight Santa Ana.

Instead they

tried to negotiate,

content being

citizens of Mexico.

All they wanted

was the reinstatement

of the constitution

and taxes lifted.

In 1835,

negotiations broke down,

and the Texans began

to talk revolution.

General Santa Ana

heard this rumor and...

The souvenir shop is

right through there.

Thank you.

How much time do we have

before that tour bus leaves?

Oh, we've got time.

Let's drop on

by the shop.

Well, look who's here.

Huh?

Last time I saw you,

you were jumping off a boat.

Were you feeling

a little seasick?

I'm hiding from

that man over there.

Oh, it's somebody

new this time.

Now, isn't it about time

you told me

what this is all about?

Ladies and gentlemen,

the Alamo will be

closing in 2 minutes.

Our young friend

seems to be

in some sort

of trouble again.

Now, here,

just a minute.

What is your name?

Davey.

Not Davy Crockett

by any chance?

I really have to

go now.

It's a matter of

national security.

Will everyone please exit

through the front door?

What do you think?

I think the boy

needs our help.

Hey, stop that kid!

He's stealing

somebody's bag! Get him!

You got

a hell of a nerve, kid,

stealing inside

the Alamo.

I didn't steal it!

He didn't steal

anything, Officer.

He took this.

Well, that's just

a simple mistake.

I sent the boy in to

pick up my camera case,

and he took

the wrong one.

Oh. Hey!

This yours?

Well, come and get it.

Why don't you take

the boy over to the car

while I straighten

this out?

But that one has

a secret

cartridge in it!

Come on.

Don't worry

about it.

George will

take care of

everything.

The car's

over here.

Now, don't you

fret yourself.

George will take

care of everything.

He's very good at that.

He's giving him

the camera case!

He is?

Well, if he did, he had

a reason for doing it.

Slide over.

That's it.

This what you're

so worried about?

No, sir.

It was the case

you gave the other man.

That was the one

with the plans in it.

What makes you

so sure

I gave the wrong

case back?

Pardon?

Why don't you open

it and find out?

You got it!

George always makes things

turn out right.

But how'd you do it?

I just gave that man

my camera case

in its place.

He never noticed

the difference.

Now, do you mind

telling us

what this

is all about?

After all, I sacrificed

my good camera

to save your

Cloak and Dagger tape.

It isn't just

a Cloak and Dagger tape.

There's an extra

microchip in here.

What was that man

doing with it

at the Alamo?

Said he had to give it

to some foreign spy.

No!

Really?

Did he say what

the spy looked like?

Only that he had

2 fingers missing.

How exciting!

May I see the tape,

Davey?

Sure.

Something wrong, Davey?

It's all right.

Such a clever

little boy.

Don't you think so,

George?

I wish we could take him

to Mexico City with us.

I made an arrangement

with Rice.

He's going to take care

of him for us

on our way

to the airport.

I don't like him, and I

don't like his methods,

and I don't like

those 2 thugs of his.

I made it

very clear to him

that we're

very displeased

with this whole mess.

He won't dare make

another mistake.

Not if he wants

to do business with us.

I made that

very clear.

What time's

our flight?

Midnight.

We better check out.

I'm afraid we won't be able

to use

our dinner reservations.

What a nuisance.

Wake up.

Somebody's coming.

Where are we?

I can't see a thing.

Right back where

you put us.

Hey, pop the trunk,

will you?

Better play dead

or you will be.

That kid is

still out cold.

You want to kill him now

or wait till

the chloroform wears off?

Wait till we get

to the desert.

What's taking

Rice so long anyway?

It can't take him 2 hours

to divide up the money.

I think we

should get extra

for killing the kid.

You're right.

Let's go

hurry him up.

We'll never

get out of here.

Stay cool.

I'm thinking.

What are we

going to do?

Open the door.

Wait a minute.

What are you doing?

There's

a phone here.

Let's get out of here.

I'm calling Kim.

We better get out of here

and find some weapons.

Mom?

No, Kim, it's me.

Have you told

your mom yet?

No, she hasn't

come home yet.

She left a note,

but I can't read

her writing.

Listen, you got to get

to the airport right away.

The spies

have the tape.

They're kind of old.

A man and lady.

She only has 3 fingers.

Where are you?

I'm in a car.

Listen,

they're catching a plane

to Mexico City

at midnight.

How am I supposed to get

to the airport?

Use your bus pass.

Duck!

I want you boys

to pay attention.

You do what I tell you.

Keep your mouths shut.

There's a lot more where

that came from.

What about the girl?

You want us to get her, too?

No. I already

took care of that.

What's that?

Garage door

opener.

What are you going to do,

crush her with a garage door?

Not quite.

This is a trigger

for a clock.

It'll set off

enough plastique

to blow up her and

half her neighborhood.

You might have

told us.

We could have been

blown up with her.

That's why

I used a timer.

I told that kid,

"If you cross me,

she's going to die."

So now,

in exactly one hour,

our little friend's

gonna have

a very short,

very loud nightmare.

That will

be midnight.

Yeah. I got to

call Kim.

Go get the van.

Let's get these bodies
