...senior research fellow in astrophysics.

- Bingo.

- Setec Astronomy, whatever that is.

I leave message here on service,

but you do not call.

- There.

- I'm sorry.

- "W", "G"...

- Looks like the "H".

- Where do you get "H"?

- Next to the "L".

- Come on. Do it again.

- "H" isn't next to the "L".

I leave message here on service,

but you do not call.

Okay, that's definitely "W", "G".

Definitely not. No, that's a "V".

She's in the way.

Fellas, Janek's little black box

is on his desk...

...between the pencil jar and the lamp.

Whistler, I hate to tell you this,

but you're blind.

Play the tape back again.

- But you can't see anything.

- Don't look. Listen.

Play it back.

I leave message here on service,

but you do not...

He's got a service.

What's he need an answering machine for?

There's our little black box.

Okay, boss.

This LTX-71 concealable mike is part

of the same system that NASA used...

...when they faked

the Apollo moon landings.

The astronauts broadcast

around the world from a soundstage...

...at Norton Air Force Base,

San Bernardino, California.

So it worked for them.

It shouldn't give us too many problems.

Thanks.

- You didn't have a delivery?

- I should have the invoice.

No delivery is scheduled.

They didn't have anything on record.

Did my wife drop a cake off for me?

- There's no cake here.

- Party for Marge on the second floor.

- She was supposed to drop a cake off.

- I don't know about it.

There she is, late as usual.

It states here that I am to deliver

I don't care what that says.

You're not on the list, you can't get in.

- I might lose my job.

- That's not my problem. Now beat it.

I can't reach my card.

Could you buzz this?

- Just buzz it. I can't reach my card.

- Wait one minute.

We're late for a party on the second floor.

Push the goddamned buzzer.

Thanks.

Anybody remember how to defeat

an electronic keypad?

Don't even joke about that.

Those things are impossible.

Think I'm joking?

Looks like they just put it in.

Oh, boy.

This might help. An old buddy of mine

who was in Desert Storm sent it to me.

'Course, he was on the other side.

Come on. There's got to be

a way around these things.

All right, all right.

This might work.

Yeah. Yeah.

Right.

Okay. I'll give it a shot.

It worked.

Got it.

- Gunter? You're not...

- God, no. Here you go. Nice to see you.

- Who the hell is that?

- Battle stations.

Monitor the audio. Grab the mike.

Okay.

I'm gonna remove my hand now.

Please, don't scream.

I promise, nothing will happen to you.

Okay?

Who are you?

- He's a PI.

- You're a private investigator.

- I'm a private investigator.

- But why?

Who hired you?

- Who hired you?

- Mrs. Janek.

There is not Mrs. Janek.

Yeah?

You got us stumped.

Oh, yeah? Who do you think paid

for your little love jaunt to Mexico City?

That was good.

Velma Janek.

She lives in Montreal where she handles

her family's real estate holdings...

...vast real estate holdings:

Farms, banks, shopping malls.

Two shopping malls.

She supports Gunter but figured he

was cheating. That's why she hired me.

Bastard liar!

- I'll kill him!

- No, no, no!

No, don't. Get a hold

of yourself, Dr. Rhyzkov.

Get a hold of yourself.

You gotta not tell him you know.

We weren't here. We didn't talk.

You don't know me.

You don't know anything about a wife.

You just give me one good reason why.

I'll give you a reason.

Give you a really good reason.

It's just what she'd want you to do.

It's just what she'd want you to do.

It's just what she'd want you to do.

I don't understand.

Yeah, sometimes

I don't understand myself.

Look, I might lose my license for this...

...but my client is

a vindictive, bitter woman.

She's been withholding marital favors

for years and now she's out to ruin him.

And she's using you to get to her.

And she's using me to get to you.

I know that's confusing,

but don't you see what's happening here?

You and me,

we're pawns in this ugly little game.

- If you love him...

- If you love him...

If you love him...

...if you really love him...

...then just keep on loving him.

Never let him know that you know what

he thinks you don't know that you know.

You know?

And give him head whenever he wants.

Give him help.

Be a beacon in his sad and lonely life.

Can you do that for Gunter?

- Yes, yes, I can. I can.

- Okay, good.

Now get outta here.

Give him head?

Be a beacon?

The key meeting took place July 1, 1958.

The Air Force brought this space visitor

to the White House...

...for an interview with Eisenhower.

Ike said, "Give us technology,

we'll give you all the cow lips you want. "

Don't listen to this man. He's certifiable.

Your husband knows

about cattle mutilations.

He's ex-CIA. He knows the government's

been suppressing for years.

Understood, understood.

One thing I don't quite get, though...

...was you and Cosmo,

you were taking all these big chances...

...what for?

We were young. And there was a war on.

- It was a good way to meet girls.

- I'll bet.

How come you didn't get caught?

I went out for pizza.

Then I went to Canada.

I was lucky. He wasn't.

Did he ever forgive you?

I hope so.

He died in prison.

So, what are you guys gonna do

with your share of the money?

Don?

We have never been to Europe together.

And we are going.

- Madrid, Lisbon.

- Athens and Scotland.

- And Tahiti.

- Yes, yes.

- Mother?

- Well, you know...

...I've never actually had a really cool car

that I could fit comfortably into.

So I think I'm gonna buy me a Winnebago...

...with a big kitchen, water bed.

Big kitchen.

Carl?

I'd like to have a deep relationship...

...with a beautiful woman, who melts

from the very first time our eyes meet.

We're not getting paid that much, Carl.

Well, you know, someone like Liz.

You're definitely

not getting paid that much.

Whistler?

Peace on earth, goodwill toward men.

Right on.

And women.

- All right.

- Hear, hear!

- That's not a word, "scrunchy".

- Yes, it is.

- Scrunchy is not a word.

- Scrunchy is a word.

- Since when?

- Know what happens to your face?

- It's not a word.

- Right now your face is scrunchy.

All right. We gotta take it as a word.

- I have...

- I didn't invent the word.

- Carl?

- Yes?

What does it say where this is?

Hold on a second here.

"System out. "

Guys...

...I really think you should

leave that thing alone.

Yeah, I know. I just wanted

to see something. Don't worry, Don.

- How are they spelling Setec?

- S-E-T-E-C. Setec.

Special extraterrestrial?

Earthling counter.

Is that right? Two, four, five.

And she begins to go,

and this one bull turns around...

...and looks at me

like right dead in my eye.

- Setec.

- What?

Setec Astronomy.

I just love it when a man says that to me.

Setec doesn't mean anything.

Excuse me.

Carl...

...can you get me some cable

and that I/O interface, please?

"Monterey's coast. "

Does "Monterey's coast"
