Eraser

You couldn't hide, Johnny!

Nobody hides from us!

Sh*t!

Get me ice. I broke my goddamn hand.

Sure, boss.

F*** you!

Just do me!

Sure, Johnny. But first...

...Mr. Canelli wants a little souvenir.

Open up!

Open up!

We'll send this to your

Witness Protection buddies.

See if it sings on its own.

They can take it to the trial.

Open up!

Benny?

Who the hell are you?

Close your eyes.

Who are you?!

Shut up!

You too!

It's okay.

Do what he says.

Don't move. You're dead.

I need the clothes you're wearing.

Your ring.

Your watch.

All your IDs.

Now.

Do it!

Come with me.

Grab the other one.

Let's go.

Put your clothes on them. Move!

There's been a murder

at 232 Alden Drive.

Send the police.

They killed you, then

turned on each other.

Right.

You sons-of-b*tches.

Sh*t!

This doesn't work without an audience.

Outside. Let's go.

Get in.

Thank you.

Thank you. Anything you

ever need, just ask me.

You endangered your life and

the U.S. Marshals protecting you.

What?

You went to your old restaurant.

You went back to Gennaro's?

Johnny, are you stupid?!

It's the osso buco.

I was f***ing dying for a decent meal!

Next time, you're dead!

This only happens once.

Get out.

That was our ride!

Let's go.

Go.

You won't see me again.

But I'll know your every move.

Use your heads, lie low

and no one will hurt you.

Skip out on your testimony and I'll

deliver you to the Canelli family.

I promise.

I owe you big time. I'm a

stand-up guy, you got it?

You ever need anything, you

let me know. What's your name?

Honey, he doesn't want to be pen pals.

Smile. You've just been erased.

John, would you look at something?

One is from our shop, the others

are real. What do you think?

That's the fake.

Who the hell is that?

If I tell you, I'd have to kill you.

Shut up and run this again.

With a little sleight of hand...

...one very dead John Doe trades

places with one very live scumbag.

Robert, sit down.

You know...

...if God was as forgiving as WITSEC...

...hell would be one empty joint.

God doesn't have our court system.

I understand you had a busy night.

A witness got careless.

-I see.

-I had to defuse the situation.

And that included breaking

into the county morgue?

Someone taught me that improvisation

is the heart of field work.

It was you.

In the old days. Weather's changed.

Now every a**hole in

Congress is down our backs.

I'm telling you to walk softly.

That's why Beller called me in?

Because of the morgue?

No, no, no.

He doesn't know anything about that.

I don't think he has to.

Shadow Ops still has some privileges.

You're right.

John...

...good work.

I had a good teacher.

Bullshit.

You had the best.

under WITSEC protection...

...and not one with a profile like this.

That bad?

That good. This young

lady, Miss Cullen...

...is a real live, bona fide...

...honest person.

Then why does she need us?

She's a senior executive

at Cyrez Corporation.

They're major defense contractors.

Top-secret weapons research.

Looks like someone inside

Cyrez is selling out Uncle Sam.

Feds need her to prove their case.

She's the key witness in the

hottest scandal since lran-Contra.

-When does this go down?

-Tomorrow.

The sting's in place.

When it's over, she's all yours.

Sealed file on relocate.

Your eyes only.

As usual, only you and I will be privy

to the exact location of your witness.

But, John...

...there are some serious

players in Washington...

...who could be badly burned.

So could she.

Welcome to Cyrez Corporation.

Morning, Dave.

She's in.

Anything yet?

Not yet.

That's right, lady. We're right here.

We're on.

Hear me?

We hear you.

I look okay?

Tell her she looks great.

Not bad, Miss Cullen.

Not bad for an amateur.

We're right with you.

Yeah.

Then let's do it.

-Good morning, Miss Cullen.

-Good morning.

Station C?

Yes.

And how long today?

Okay.

You're doing just fine, Lee.

Hope we bought the right combination.

Bingo!

Sh*t!

It's okay. We lose

transmission in the vault.

What now?

Now we wait.

She's only got 5 minutes

till the shift change.

What's taking so long?

Sweetheart, you've got 2 minutes left.

Shouldn't have used her.

Sh*t! She's out of time.

Welcome back, Lee. We're with you.

Miss Cullen...

...Mr. Donahue would like to see you.

In a minute.

He said right now.

-What's going on?

-They made us.

Check the directory.

Where's Donahue's office?

I know.

Get ready to roll. It could go south.

What is it, William?

Someone I trusted for 5 years.

Someone I told others could be trusted.

I was pulling--

Don't!

We're way beyond bullshit here.

Who do you work for?

Sh*t, we're dead.

I should ask you that question.

I thought it was for the U.S.

government.

Come on, Lee.

What do you think we do here?

This isn't the Red Cross.

We make weapons.

Things that kill people.

If the government won't pay the cost...

...it's my job to find someone who will.

Treason is part of the

corporate strategy?

I asked who you were working for.

You didn't tell me.

My God.

Holy sh*t.

Christ.

Get her out of there.

What is this?

A camera?

For the FBl, William.

They heard everything you just said.

They're watching us now.

And you think that makes you safe?

You...

...have no f***ing idea!

How could you do this to me?

I hope you understand, Lee.

You leave me no choice.

Wait a minute! Stop her!

Stop! Hey!

Go, go, go!

Hard evidence.

It's all yours, gentlemen.

We've handled these situations before.

You haven't answered my question.

We told you there'd be risks.

You told me I'd have complete

protection the entire time.

It didn't go as smoothly

as we anticipated.

That's an understatement.

Remember, Miss Cullen, you came to us.

I came to you with a clerical error.

You asked for my help.

And we got it.

If Cyrez sells weapons' technology,

that's high treason.

This disk and your testimony will put

all the co-conspirators behind bars.

You've done a great

service for your country.

It's time to think about your safety.

This is U.S. Marshal John Kruger,

Witness Protection Program.

He'll handle your personal security.

My protection?

Your new identity, relocation.

I'll take you through it step-by-step.

What are you talking about?

I'm not going anywhere.

You're in an extremely

high-risk situation.

Wasn't it explained to you?

Your boss was just a middleman, Lee.

There are more dangerous

people involved.

You expect me to give up my whole life?

Until the trial. Then you're

completely out of danger.

And how do you know that?

How do you know?

Look, I will keep up my end of

the bargain. I will testify.

But that's it.

I'm going home.

Put people on her right away...

...or we'll need a seance

for her testimony.

Who brought her into this?

She volunteered. She had

security clearance....

You told her it's a walk in the park.

When she finds out her life isn't

her own anymore, it's too late.

We had no case without her.

It's easier to put her ass on
