Detonator II: Night Watch Page #3

I promise you.

It's a matter of expediting,

avoiding the Hong Kong police,

keeping things greased.

In addition, meet Myra Tang,

your local ClA connection.

Myra Tang,

Hong Kong office.

Hmm, easy on

the eyes, eh?

Michael,

one identity at a time.

Yes, sir.

I'll see you tomorrow.

Martin Schraeder's.

Wow.

What's he going to do

when the red Chinese

take over in '97?

Good question. Same one

everyone's asking.

Stay and trust the Communists,

or retreat to safer ground.

Have you been inside, Myra?

Yeah. Parties.

Art everywhere.

But no " N ight Watch"?

Oh sure. It's probably

hanging in the front hall

with a little

brass plaque saying

"Stolen from

the Rijksmuseum."

Hey, Martin Schraeder

is the only lead I can offer.

Okay, wel I maybe

you two girls should go out there,

just knock on the door,

and see if you can get invited in.

I thought I'd introduce you

to Schraeder at his casino in Macao.

You can do that?

Being the lottery girl does

have its perks, you know.

Wait a minute.

What are you saying?

This guy's going to invite us up

to his place and say,

"Look, here's my stolen painting"?

Look, when you come up with

a better idea, let me know, okay?

- Okay, fine.

- Good.

Mike, this is Mao Yixin.

Hi. Mike Graham.

Call me Tim.

- You winning, Mike?

- Oh, just pocket change, Tim.

Myra here tells me

you run this place.

- It's very nice.

- Thank you very much indeed.

And this is a friend

from my modeling days.

- Sabrina Carver.

- Uh, it's Graham now. Sabrina Graham.

Oh, newlyweds.

- Mm-hmm.

- Yes, two days ago.

In that case,

the esplanade would

like to offer you

worth of good luck.

Thanks!

What a charmer, eh?

Martin Schraeder.

Hi, how you doing?

Oh, yeah.

Well, that would make it

show time, girls.

Shall we?

What's the bet limit?

- 5,000 U.S.

- Uh-huh.

Uh, Caldwell's not going

to cover you, you know.

- This is your money.

- Mm-hmm.

Hit me.

House has a natural.

Mm-hmm.

Shall we up the stakes?

Mike, are you kidding?

You already lost $ 5, 000.

Shall we say 10,000?

How about

a quarter million?

He's really put Schraeder

on the spot.

The customer with the mustache

wants to bet $250,000.

You want to bet $250,000

on one hand?

That's right.

- Myra?

- This is Mike Graham.

His wife Sabrina's

an old friend.

I'm good for it.

All right.

One against the bank.

Save the lecture.

Just wish me luck.

You know that I do.

Thank you.

I'd like a glass

of water, please,

And a vodka martini

straight up with a twist

waiting over there.

Thank you.

The game is blackjack.

House rules.

Mr. Graham's bet

is $250,000.

Eight.

- Could pull a five-card trick.

- Meaning?

He'll beat the house,

no matter what.

Hit me.

Ace.

- One.

- Oh!

Wait. Um...

I'm gonna need

another card.

Six cards under 21,

the house pays double.

The dealer gives me

the sixth card face down.

The house plays

its hand out.

You've got no option

but to go for a six-card trick.

Should the house bust...

and my card

is six or more,

I pay you 250,000.

If the house busts

and my last card

is five or under...

you pay me out.

Pay you out...

$1 million?

Done.

The house is bust.

The four of hearts.

Mr. Graham's total is 20.

The house owes you

$1 million.

Martin Schraeder.

It's my million you just won.

You're the second-best thing

on my honeymoon, Mr. Schraeder.

- To you or cash?

- That's a good question, let me see.

Myra, which is the most

needy charity in town?

The Royal Orphans' Fund.

There you have it.

Short of my initial 5,000,

and give the rest

to the orphans, royal or not.

Unbelievable.

Yeah, well,

I made my fortune,

auto parts.

A little stock racing

on the side.

Always happy to have another

sponsor, if you feel sassy.

"Bluegrass Auto Parts."

Kentucky?

Entire South.

Started in Kentucky.

I'm from Indiana.

You don't say.

Well, I won't tell a nybody.

So, what were you

going to tell Caldwel l

if you lost

all that money?

What if Schraeder has us

under surveillance?

I mean, how do you tell

your best buddy

that you lost all that money

on your honeymoon?

Sweetie, I ain't going

to think about it

because it didn't happen.

Mmm. Nice buns.

Oh, baby,

you looked good tonight.

You looked very, very hot.

Yes. Yes. Yes.

Nice bouncy bed

and everything like that.

I guess you're going

to slip into something

nice and cool, now,

aren't you?

Uh, well, Michael,

I admit it's turn-on, but, uh--

I'm really pretty tired,

you know?

You feel tired, do you, darling?

I feel very--

feeling kind of

up and peppy.

Michael, I'm actually

really, really tired.

Yes. So, I must say,

Hong Kong is a little

sweaty, don't you think?

Yes.

Actually,

I'm really very tired.

You're very tired.

Well--

I feel good, actually.

Oh-- socks.

I feel very, very awake.

Good. Relaxed.

Yes.

Oh, baby.

Baby. Baby.

It's the PJs again. Oh.

What is it a bout those PJs

that gets me so hot, eh?

My good luck.

Come and get it,

honeybunch.

I'm all yours.

I'm waiting.

- I'll get the light.

- No, no, leave it on.

Michael, are you crazy?

- I don't think so.

- I'm gonna get the light.

Don't you like to see

what you're-- ow! Oh!

Very boisterous, my darling.

Very boisterous.

Oh, darling.

Oooh, Sabrina.

Oh, oh, darling.

Michael!

- Oh, oh, darling.

- Shh, shh!

Stop it, Michael!

What--?

Oh, Michael.

That was great,

really great.

I'm so pleased, darling.

I'm so pleased.

I know you love quickies.

Here I come again.

Ohh!

Well, good night.

I get the hint.

It was-- just overcome

with passion there, aren't you?

I'll make my way

to the bathroom.

I think I will.

That's one thing

I love about you.

Just walking a little

funny, that's all.

I must say, darling,

marrying you was

the smartest bet I ever made.

Oh, Mike!

Mike, here 's your profile

on Martin Schraeder.

- Shoot.

- He was chief engineer for Aztec,

a telecom company

in Silicon Valley.

He was accused

of industrial espionage

and fired eight years ago.

Mm-hmm.

He do time?

- No, charges were dropped.

- Yeah?

And a year before,

his wife and only daughter

were killed

in a car accident.

Sounds suspicious.

No, Schraeder was driving.

I'm logging off.

Take care.

The company's sweeping your hotel

room for surveillance gear.

Good. It's hard keeping up

a honeymoon 24 hours a day.

Speak for yourself.

What? You like him?

Honey, who wouldn't?

Oh, Myra,

you cheap slut.

With him, any time.

Anywhere.

You're not attracted?

No, of course not.

We work together.

Right.

It's true.

So, what do you think?

I think...

all your cards

are on the table.

Good.

Graham to base.

Graham to base.

- Got you.

- Sending you some video.

I'm sending you some video

of two guys.

- Run a check on them, will you?

- I'll be delighted.

Did you get that?

I certainly did.

We 'll begin enhancement.

Gracias, amiga.

Okay, Schraeder's estate.

We found the architect's

original drawings

and loaded them
