Yes, of course. Horse's ass.

I am sorry. Traffic is very bad.

I can do this. I can do this.

I can do this.

Sign there and date, please.

How long do you think it will take

for my passport? A few weeks?

No, no, no. We're a small office...

...but I e-mail Washington,

assuming no hitches...

...you can walk in tomorrow

and walk out with a temporary.

- You're a hero.

- Thanks. Please, tell that to my wife.

- We open at 9.

- Okay, I'll be here. Thank you.

Great. Next!

A butterfly tattoo...

...on his hand.

Find this guy, he can vouch for me.

He knows I'm not Kelly Roos.

This is the best you can do,

an embassy clerk?

I know no one here.

- Yes.

- Yes.

Right.

You need something, anything

or even nothing...

...you call. I'm good for anything,

good for nothing. I'm always here.

Okay, I'm sure I'll be fine.

- Here you go.

- Yeah, thank you.

Bye.

Here you go.

- Thank you. Thank you.

- Thank you.

Do you know how long this will take?

I don't know.

I think no more than an hour.

- No, no. No, and I won't calm down.

- This is no problem.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Look, first, my luggage is just gone...

...like the guy I'm supposed to travel

with, and now I can't get in my room.

- No, I just wanna go to my room...

- Hey, hey.

- What?

- Are you all right?

No! Wait a minute.

Are you American?

- Yeah.

- Oh, my God, thank God!

Oh, my God.

I just wanna go to my room,

you know?

Yeah, I do. Well, they said

it's gonna be about an hour.

Oh, no.

Hey. You wanna get a cup of coffee?

My treat.

I have a better idea.

Can we have a drink?

Okay? Okay.

Oh, thank God.

What kind of name is Z.Z.?

Apparently, I was conceived

to a ZZ Top song.

So I don't know,

this is not what I expected.

I actually didn't know

what to expect.

- I'm glad I'm here, though.

- Yeah?

- Yeah.

- For a job?

Someone called me out of the blue,

had apparently checked me out.

I was so excited,

I sent him a dozen roses.

I haven't sent a guy roses in my life.

- So are you gonna stay?

- Yeah, I...

I kind of have to.

- You have to?

- Yeah, whatever.

Just make the best out of whatever

situation you're in, you know?

Right.

Well, I'm glad you're here.

Maybe we can explore together.

- It'll be fun.

- I'd like that.

- Hope, listen...

- Hello!

I'll make a good deal for you, huh?

- Pretty scarf, see?

- No.

Are you married, girls?

I can give you a tour in the harem...

...like no one ever seen before.

- At the Topkapi Palace.

- Okay.

No?

No!

- Hello?

- It's Ali. Good morning.

We have your first assignment.

Galata Financial.

Their security system is failing,

vulnerable to attack.

They need our best...

...smartest, cleverest.

- I'm anxious to get started.

First I need to go to the consulate

and get my visa straightened out.

Then right after,

they'll be expecting you.

Sounds great. Just send the directions

and info to my Pocket PC, please.

Yes, okay.

Hi.

Could you connect me

with Z.Z. Jackson's room?

Of course.

I'm sorry, but we don't have anyone

registered under that name.

Well, that's impossible.

She checked in yesterday.

No.

There seems

to be a misunderstanding.

Okay. Thank you.

- Taxi.

- Taxi!

Thank you.

- Look what I have for you right here.

- Yes!

Brand-new. You won't have any

problem getting a work visa with that.

Thank you so much. That was

so easy. It usually takes, like...

- This is not me.

- Everybody hates their picture.

- You should see mine.

- No, that's my picture...

...that's my address.

But that's not my name.

My name is Hope Cassidy,

this says...

- Kelly Roos.

- Yeah.

- Are you sure this isn't you?

- Yes, I'm sure this is not me!

- You have to change it.

- We're just a consulate.

We can do renewals of passports

here, but reissues...

...has to be done

by the embassy in Ankara.

- I can't... I can't believe this.

- I don't know what to tell you. I mean...

On the computer,

I have you as Kelly Roos.

- And so maybe there's some error or...

- This is not normal.

I'm sorry.

I'll try and clear this up

as quickly as I can.

Can you come back Thursday?

Friday, maybe?

Okay, thank you.

Next!

I'm so tired.

- Can we please just take a break?

- No.

No?

Tomorrow you will be charged

for a double murder...

...and the theft of millions of dollars.

- I want a lawyer.

- I have one day to see you...

- No, I want a phone call!

And I want to know everything

about the murders.

- About the money!

- You can't keep me locked up!

I'm an American citizen

and I have rights!

I want my phone call, I want

my lawyer, and I want it now! God!

Let's continue.

What are you doing here?

Are you following me?

- No, no, no. I'm just trying to work.

- You've got to stop following me.

- It's freaking me out.

- All right.

- How will you get to next appointment?

- Well, I...

All right.

- How many millions will this cost me?

- Don't worry, it's no problem.

We will come to an arrangement.

I'll take you wherever

you want to go.

So this is Galata's offices?

Yeah, they are wealthy company

and eccentric.

I know these people.

- I'll probably be a number of hours.

- All right, I wait.

Okay.

Okay.

My name is Hope Cassidy

to see Mr. Ibrahim Zoralan.

ID?

- Oh, I have a driver's license.

- Yeah, okay.

Well, I had my driver's license.

I don't know...

- It has to be in here somewhere.

- Hope Cassidy!

So pleased to have

you be my acquaintance.

Ibrahim Zoralan, come with me.

I've heard so much about you.

This is our new offices.

Built in late 1800s

by one of the last sultans.

You can still see the construction

going on.

Galata is an international

holding company.

A hundred million dollars

a day go through here...

...through our supercomputer.

Right this way, please.

- Oh, I'm sorry.

- You tripped the alarm.

- You're lucky I'm here.

- To turn it off?

That, and...

Don't worry, I'll protect you.

Ibrahim Zoralan.

Voice-activated security?

My own design.

And cannot be duplicated.

So this is it. Galata's nerve centre.

Our supercomputer.

I call it Ibrahim.

After myself, of course.

- Impressed?

- With the computer?

Yes.

You've got firewalls tripping

all over each other...

...routers that date to Constantine.

Also, you see that,

what's going on up there?

You are about one broken

security key away...

...from someone having access

to every dollar going through here.

Well, that's why you're here.

Ibrahim needs protection.

He's tense, he works very hard.

He needs your women's intuition.

Your comforting.

Mr. Zoralan, I'm being paid

about $475 an hour...

...because I'm fast and good.

When not distracted.

Now, if you feel you like

my company that much...

...this could take about a month.

- Lf I back off?

- I'll be done by tomorrow.

I'll miss your wonderful company.

I'm sure your wife will take

your mind off of it.

I will have my security liaisons officer

to watch you until it is time to leave.

Why, you don't trust me?

With the amount of money
