that I think I am? #

You're sweet.

You make me laugh.

- And we love to eat together.

- I took you ice-skating?

Yeah, you're

pretty romantic.

Look how cute you are

in those tights.

Yeah, but I couldn't get

a extra large?

- Hey, you've got messages.

- Yeah?

Hey, Jake, it's Steve,

from Quiznos. Bad news...

someone jacked our bread truck.

No worries, bro.

Your sandwich will be delivered

as usual. Just how you like 'em...

triple oven-baked...

"Spies gotta eat. "

That's

what I'm saying.

- That's what I'm saying.

- Jake, it's Riley.

Sector Seven

is just not working yet.

You can't kill the man in the

black coat before the eagle strikes.

I need more help with this. I hope your

friends at the agency don't mind.

You see? You see, that's

what I'm talking about.

That's some real

spy talk right there.

- I knew it, I knew it.

- It's Riley.

- Mm-hmm.

- You're right.

Hauck must be in on this.

When you meet the FBI,

remember:
No names, no IDs.

Only contact me on my cell.

You gotta come through on this.

From here on out

you're "The Cleaner. "

- Did you hear that?

- Yeah, I did, actually.

I'm "The Cleaner,"

I'm "The Cleaner"!

I knew it!

I told you!

It's Riley again.

Did you leave town?

You mentioned Boca Raton.

Where are you, Jake?

- Boca Raton?

- Were you planning a trip there?

No! No.

Boca Raton is a city

north of Miami in Florida.

Nothing.

Boca Raton...

"the mouth of the rat. "

- Huh?

- Spanish for "mouth of the rat. "

"Mouth of the rat. "

Mouth of The Rat...

yes!

- I know where the chip is!

- You know where the chip is?

That's what I'm saying.

- You're sure?

- Yes, yes! I'm positive! Come on!

- What?

- Would you put th...

- bac... those are mine!

- Stop it!

Look, I don't wanna be noticed.

Well, I guarantee you're gonna

get noticed in that getup.

Look, would you

put those back?

The plan is we get in,

we get out. It's simple.

Maybe you're right.

I mean it is after hours.

Nobody'll recognize me.

Hey, can you open

the gate?

Well, if it isn't

Mr. Jake Rodgers.

You know everybody

is looking for you?

I could get $75 for turning you in.

What's going on?

I know, baby, okay? But right

now, I need you to let me in.

Baby, I know you didn't

just call me "baby"!

How about calling me "Jacuzzi"?

How about that, Jake?

Why would

I call you that?

'Cause it's my name.

- It's French.

- French?

- You don't know nothing about that.

- Look, okay, whatever.

Jacuzzi, would you open

the gate, please?

No! You didn't even

remember my name.

I guess you also forgot how you

was all up on a sister

at the Christmas party?

Just all up in through here.

No no, I wasn't with you

at no company Christmas party.

What? Okay, hold on.

Hold on, hold on,

hold on, hold on.

Oh! What? Bam!

But uh...

Huh-uh.

What the hell!

- Hmm?

- No!

Is that a goat?

Whoo!

Are we in the manger?

Okay, wait, hold on.

Is it all coming back

to you now?

Damn, do everybody

got pictures of me?

You promised me dinner,

Jake, and I want it.

- Look, fine.

- And I don't want no damn nine-piece.

I wanna go to a nice restaurant

where they got the salad bar

- and free refills.

- Okay, free refills, you got it, okay?

But right now, I'm gonna

have to ask you

- to get in the trunk.

- What?

Look, this is for your benefit

so you don't get fired

or nothing, okay,

from your job. Get in the trunk.

No, I ain't getting

in no trunk.

- Get in the trunk.

- No!

Get in the trunk.

You went with Asian?

- Hello, Riley.

- Hello.

So tell us... what was

your meeting with Jake about?

Oh, we were discussing how

to get you behind bars.

What happened to you?

You used to be

a real team player.

Well, that was when the team

made video games, not weapons.

You shouldn't have

called the FBI.

At the time I didn't know

that you'd bought a few agents.

One less, thanks

to your friend Jake.

What? What are you

talking about?

Eric, I think you should

take a look at this.

Shh!

It's this way.

How do you know?

I just do.

Bad memory and

an attitude.

Okay, this is it.

Colonel Bowman's

revenge.

Remember...

we get in, we get out.

Okay.

This is the motion capture stage

for the game designers.

I remember

sneaking in here.

Check this out.

This is it.

This is the throne

of the drug lord,

code name "The Rat. "

I knew it! I knew

all this stuff was real!

So now what?

"Boca Raton," baby.

You said it yourself...

"the mouth of the rat. "

I hid the X-1

right here.

- The chip!

- How do you like me now?

- You did it!

- That's right, I did it.

Okay, come on.

Let's get out of here.

So nice of you to come,

Mr. Rodgers.

So nice of you to come,

Mr. Rodgers.

So nice of you to come,

Mr. Rodgers.

Thanks for calling the FBI

on such an important matter.

Anything I can do

to help my country.

You fellas

got some ID?

You're a cautious man.

That's good.

Now hand over the chip.

Got a little something

for me?

Here it is...

$1/4-million

in thanks.

Obviously, this is

just between us.

It seems a little more

than a thank you.

Seems like a payoff.

I was just testing you.

Something's not right here.

Don't get too clever,

janitor.

Give us the chip

and take your gift.

I got a feeling

if I give you this chip

I ain't getting no gift.

Am I right?

I ain't leaving

this room either, am I?

Ah.

Man, I ain't got

the chip with me.

I mean, do I look

like a sucker?

I mean, do you think

I'm gonna come into a strange room

with the thing

in my pocket?

No, man!

Okay, yeah.

Yeah, I remember

everything now.

Y'all in some sh*t.

Yeah, you... I'm gonna

take my right elbow

and hit you in the

Adam's apple, knock it out.

Then you... I'm gonna

kick you with my size-12 shoe...

And then you... I'm gonna

hit you with him!

And there ain't gonna be

a damn thing you can do about it,

because I'm with the CIA! Ha!

Jake, what are you

talking about? The CIA?

You said it on the answering

machine... I'm with the Agency.

The Agency for

Custodial Professionals.

Jake, you're a janitor!

Wha...?

Uh-oh.

We're gonna die!

Run!

Shoot!

Argh!

How are we supposed

to get in and get out now?

Hey, wh... wh...

We're trapped, Gina.

They got us!

They got us!

So I'm just a janitor.

I don't fight crime,

I fight grime!

I get it, I get it.

I'm running out

of bullets.

We should just give up.

Hey, we give up!

We're coming out!

Jake, I need you to pull yourself

together right now, okay?

Okay.

All right, all right.

- I need your help!

- Oh!

Okay.

Okay.

This ain't

what you want!

I'm out.

Go!

I knew it was a weapon.

What are you doing?

Jake?

Come on.

Come on, let's go.

You, go!

Go on!

Ooh.

Wow.

Go on, go!

Oh.

Jake!

- Come on!

- Go go! Go go go go!

Give it up, Jake.

You can't win.

You're just a janitor.

Yahh! Yeah, you're

being mopped by The Cleaner!

- Huh.

- Damn, he hit me!

Stop right there,

Mr. Hauck!

Do you know who I am?

Yes, sir.

We're just doing our job.
