- I'm just gonna be quiet.

- It's okay.

No, actually, it's me

who doesn't want to hear it.

Sorry. I'm rambling a little bit

because I'm a little nervous.

You want a drink?

Yes. That'd be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

So, what's this for?

It's, uh...

It's for shark fishing.

Shark fishing?

With a silencer?

Yeah.

You certainly

seem to know your ordnance.

Colorado.

You grow up with guns.

Yeah.

So, who are you, Jack?

Who am I?

I'll tell you who I am.

I'm Captain Goddamn America

meets Albert Schweitzer.

That's who I am.

Isn't that what you always wanted?

It is. I remember.

It was butch...

beautiful...

brilliant,

spends all day...

dashing into the fray...

fists flying.

Sorry, I don't know

any organ cantatas.

Was that it?

And if you'll excuse me...

it's time to make the world

safe for democracy.

Where's the clip?

Give me that!

B*tch.

Somebody, I need help.

Somebody? Hello?

Please, somebody,

I need help.

Keys. Okay.

What? No.

How did I get here?

How'd I get here?

A fisherman found you.

He brought you here.

You were very lucky

they came by.

How long have I been here?

Three days.

Try not to talk too much.

Oh, we found a man's wallet...

filled with pesos

and a lot of U. S. dollars.

- We tried to contact him...

- No. He...

No. There was no luck

finding this man.

There was a disk.

Green square, plastic disk.

Ah, yes.

The disk was ruined by the sun.

You relax now, hmm?

Get well.

- No. I need...

- In a few days.

Look at you now.

You haven't got the strength. Please.

My clothes.

How much do I owe you?

Please. You have to relax now.

You have to rest.

- You need a few days.

- I need my clothes.

I have to go.

I just need my clothes.

In national news, we go

to WNN correspondent Daniel Schorr.

- Hi. I need...

- Wall Street panicked when prices...

appeared to tumble at a rate

reminiscent of the Black Tuesday crash.

Officials suspended trading

when it became clear...

that the losses were fictitious

and caused by computer pranksters.

- I need my room key for 2806, please.

- What is the name?

-Angela Bennett.

-Wall Street expects to open tomorrow...

with its computers protected by Gregg

Microsystems' latest security program...

aptly nicknamed the Gatekeeper.

What about that prank downtown?

Pranks? Short-sheeting

someone's bed is a prank.

These Praetorians could've done

serious damage to our economy...

just as the actions

recently at LAX.

No, I'm sorry. Angela Bennett

checked out last Saturday night.

No. Sorry, you don't understand.

I'm Angela Bennett.

I'm standing right here.

I didn't check out.

It's not on the computer here.

Let me check one more thing.

No Angela Bennett.

She checked out last Saturday night.

No, I didn't check out.

I would know if I checked out.

- I didn't check out.

- According to the computer, you did.

There's nothing I can do for you.

Okay? I'm sorry.

- Excuse me, sir?

- Step here, sir, please.

That room is fine.

We'll take it.

That's for you. Okay.

This one. Excuse me, ma'am.

- There you go.

- Thank you.

Please dial

your card number again now.

The card number you have just dialed

is not valid.

Miss Marx?

Please dial

your card number again now.

- Ruth Marx? Excuse me.

- The card number you have just dialed...

- Are you Ruth Marx?

- No.

You're not the woman who was here

about a temporary visa?

No, I am here about a visa, but...

Is your Social Security number

You live at 407 Finley Avenue,

Venice, California?

Yeah.

Well, then according

to the computers...

of the California Department

of Motor Vehicles...

you're Ruth Marx.

So if that's who you are...

you need to sign your name there,

and we'll issue your visa.

- But I'm not...

- You're not what?

I'm not clear about something.

Without this, I can't get back

into the United States. Is that correct?

That's correct.

So all I would have to do

is just sign Ruth Marx and...

Right there.

Okay. Think, think.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

Where're you runnin'?

Don't run. Take your time. Relax.

My name is Stan Whiteman,

Whiteman Realty. Let me show you around.

You'll like it.

Oh, I definitely saw her move out.

Okay, when was this?

Three days ago. Moving van,

moving men, furniture.

I've been in Mexico for over a week.

How could I be in L. A. selling my house?

It wasn't your house to sell!

It's not her! It's not Angela Bennett!

- Calm down.

- I am Angela Bennett!

The real Angela Bennett

had the deed and the mortgage papers!

I got 20,000 in computers.

I checked every record. It's not her!

Ma'am, it would help if you could

produce some form of identification.

You know what?

I agree with you.

But as I have told you

I had everything stolen in Cozumel.

Please. Ask her how she got

across the border without a passport.

- I had a temporary issued.

- Do they do that?

- I don't think they do that.

- Oh, my God. This is ridiculous.

Here. Here it is.

This is it.

It's just that

it's under a different name.

- Why's that?

- Because they think I'm not me.

- Is this your signature?

- Well, no.

It's my handwriting, but I just signed

a different name that they gave me.

It's a federal offense

to forge a visa.

Oh, really? It is?

And what is it to steal an entire house?

- Yo, Mike. You wanna run this?

- I'll be right back.

It's not gonna make any difference,

because what they've done is...

they've screwed with my information

and my fingerprints.

- Who's they?

- I have no idea.

Where do you work?

Do you work around here?

Yeah, I work in my house,

but my office is in San Francisco.

But I've never been there.

I work out of my house.

You don't know one person in a town

you've lived in for four years...

who can vouch you're Angela Bennett...

not a mother, a father?

My mother is not well.

My father is...

No.

There's, uh...

There's my therapist Alan Champion.

- Your therapist?

- My ex-therapist, all right?

Yeah, we've got a Ruth Marx

trying to run a scam at a house.

She's wanted for prostitution

and narcotics.

We're gonna bring her in.

Um, would you excuse me?

I'm gonna be right back.

I'm just gonna use...

Mrs. Raines...

is she or isn't she?

She kept to herself,

didn't talk to anybody.

- Where's the girl?

- She's...

Where's my phone?

Anybody seen my phone?

Excuse me, sir. Did you see

a young woman running out of here?

- No, sir. I haven't seen anyone.

- Thanks.

- Yeah?

- What the hell happened, Devlin?

Don't worry. We'll get hold of the disk.

We'll find who she's been speaking to.

She's out here on her own.

She's feeling pretty vulnerable.

We don't want another Cozumel, Devlin.

She's your responsibility. Deal with it.

I said I'd take care of her,

all right?

- Cathedral Software.

- Russ Melbourne.

- Cathedral Software.

- Russ Melbourne.

Mr. Melbourne is no longer

with the company.

What do you mean?

May I connect you

to someone who could help you?

I've never dealt with anybody
