The Falcon and the Snowman Page #4

-I can't believe you did it.

-I did it.

And I didn't even give them your name,

though they tried everything

short of the rack!

You son of a b*tch!

It's a sweet deal, Chris. Really perfecto.

This girl's cute.

Where did she come from?

You know, there's a felony warrant

out on you.

I know. I wish them a lot of luck.

Check this out.

"Theodore Lovelance."

-Do you like that?

-Yes!

-Lousy picture.

-Lousy?

Oh, yeah.

They want to know some stuff,

some details.

I accidentally washed it,

but I think you can still read it.

It's for real.

Jesus!

Don't answer.

Chris!

Chris! Chris, open up! It's us!

-Sh*t!

-Open the door, son!

Just stay there. OK?

Yeah.

-Hi.

-Hi.

We woke you?

We brought the TV for you.

Where do you want to put it?

On the desk, over to the desk.

It's not bad. It's not bad at all.

Yeah, that's great.

Hello, Mrs. Boyce. Hello, sir.

Take these to your mom.

I remember that TV.

Here, I'll give you a hand.

My, you're all up early, huh?

Yeah. 11.45.

Just straightening up.

He just dropped by last night.

What was I supposed to do?

It's a tight group down there.

They like you.

They're impressed with your work.

-Don't mess it up.

-I don't hang out with him anymore.

I was just as surprised to see him

as you were.

Mom, leave the dishes.

So they haven't locked you up yet,

huh, Daulton?

No. Too fast for 'em, sir.

Yeah, all the way! All the way!

Keep going! All the way!

You got nine minutes, then you're gone!

-No problem. It's on the house.

-Really? Thanks.

...in Australia today with the ouster

of Prime Minister Gough Whitlam.

The action, unprecedented in its

75-year history as a federation,

was taken by the Governor General,

exercising an obscure but inherent

privilege to fire a prime minister.

The business community

applauded the action.

Labor unions protested it

by immediately calling strikes.

Do you know the restaurant

in San Francisco?

That's all right. I'll get it.

-What's the story?

-Change of plans. Get in.

Come on, get in.

Sit down.

Don't be afraid.

I have heard much about you,

Comrade Lee. Now we meet.

-How are you?

-Fine.

-Who are you?

-Fine, thank you.

No. Who are you?

A fellow comrade in the service of peace.

Karpov.

This is good for them.

Tomorrow, leave Camino Real

and check inside this hotel.

-What's he talking about?

-Camino Real's too conspicuous.

Too many people can see you.

This place is less visible.

-I never heard of it.

-This why it is good.

You'll like it.

Does it have a swimming pool?

Hey! Hey!

What about a ride?

First of all, I don't like to be

kidnapped against my will!

I went to the Obelisque in good faith.

Next thing, I'm in an automobile

with this gentleman, almost getting killed!

Secondly, that f***in' park!

How did you expect me to get home?

I'm out on the street for two and a half

hours waiting for a f***in' taxi!

Excuse me. Thirdly,

nobody tells me where I can stay

and where I can't stay!

I went to that fleabag of yours!

I'll tell you something! I am insulted!

I don't care who you are!

I stay where I wanna stay!

So tell us about this mysterious

friend of yours, Comrade Lee.

You have some money for me or what?

Karpov...

Is the Negro your friend?

-Is my friend Negro?

-Yes.

Maybe.

Do you know what this is?

Let me guess.

-Camera?

-Camera Minox-B.

Very accurate and very exact.

It's very dangerous for your friend to...

He's been making Xerox cop...

He's been making Xerox copies,

probably on a machine where he works.

The counters on those machines

are more than likely checked.

So you want us to photograph them

from now on.

-Decent idea. Give me the camera.

-No, this one's mine.

I had an idea that might be

of interest to you, OK?

I know a gentleman in Lima, Peru.

You have an embassy or something.

This guy can get his hands on heroin.

Large amounts of heroin, dirt cheap.

It's a fine product. Here's the problem.

It's difficult to get this stuff

out of South America these days.

My idea is this. I arrange a buy.

All right? Say 5 kilos to start.

Your people bring it up

in their diplomatic pouches.

I wouldn't think there'd be any risk

in that. We split it 50-50.

I get my end into the States.

You do what you want with your half.

What do you say?

Think about it.

This is the Bellas Artes. The Ballet

Folklrico performs here twice a week.

And the Polyforum designed by

famous Mexican muralist Siqueiros.

The Camino Real!

This is my home away from home.

It's the finest hotel in all of Mexico City.

-And you stay there?

-Every time I go down.

-Are you kidding?

-How did this get here?

I call this "Lee and Boyce,

the before picture".

What is this? The after picture?

Annie called me and I rushed home and

he's back. The insanity's going on again.

-See if he'll come over.

-Could you come over, Ken?

All right, here. Take the torch.

Just put it right by your face.

Let's get this thing set.

What's up?

Nothing.

I'll be right back.

Just get yourself a drink or something.

I've been playing the stock market

down there in Mexico.

-Have you?

-Yeah.

-Been doing very well, too.

-That's good.

Actually, if you wanna know the truth,

the stock market thing is just a cover-up.

I'm really selling government secrets

to the Soviet Union down there.

That's what the camera's for,

to photograph documents.

You really oughta come down there

with me sometime. What do you think?

I think that'd be great.

-Hi, Clay. How are you doing?

-That's for you.

-Daulton, take a picture of us.

-Daulton!

Hi, Dad.

How are you?

Well, I'm fine.

It's good to have you home.

-Thanks. What's up?

-I just had a call from Kenny.

He's managed to reschedule

your court date.

-Terrific!

-Yeah.

Now is the time for you to realize

that your situation is serious.

The party, Brad.

The thing to do is get those people

outta here

and for you to come back to reality

with a better mental attitude.

What do you say?

I know what you're saying.

I found $900 on your dresser

this morning.

Do you think it's still there?

I took care of it. I put it in the safe.

Honey, don't leave

that kind of money just lying...

I want all those people outta here now!

-Give me the camera!

-What's wrong?

-You crazy? "Government secrets?"

-She didn't...

I don't care if she didn't believe you!

Give me the camera!

$189 plus tax. I think we should split it.

What's this?

-Just coke.

-When did this start?

-It's just coke.

-Don't lie. When did this start?

-Are you my mother?

-Don't lie! It's heroin!

I don't even shoot it up! I just snort it, OK?

How much?

Maybe a couple of hundred dollars

a week. So what?

Courier is undependable.

Seek independent channel

of communication.

-Near the harbor.

-Near the harbor, yes. In Tokyo.

Well, I don't speak very much.

First of all...

Hello. Daulton Lee, American Embassy.

OK. Hello.

Daulton Lee, American Embassy.

-De la Guine.

-New Guinea? Terrific.

Let me ask. Would this be considered
