Undercover Blues Page #2

---

about this guy Blue...

what he did to

Muerte and Ozzie.

He was holding a baby,

so he did it one-handed.

What are you saying?

It takes special training.

What I'm wondering is,

who is this guy? FBI?

I don't think the FBI

is running anything...

but you know how much

they tell us.

There's a guy

I knew in the service...

works with the Bureau in D.C.

Maybe I should check it out.

Stop wondering

and check it out.

Right.

FBI?

Dan Chesler, please.

-His line is busy.

-I'll wait.

Come on!

-Chesler.

-Hey, Danny.

Ted Sawyer here.

How you doing?

Listen, ran into somebody

unusual down here.

Was wondering if

he could be one of yours?

Calls himself Jefferson Blue.

Did I say something funny?

-I'm dying.

-It wasn't that far.

-20 miles.

-That's far.

Hold it.

Stay put, pumpkin.

One man on

the couch...reading.

A literate burglar?

How refreshing.

Reading what?

Go for the far wall.

I'll cover you from here.

One...

Two...

Three.

Jeff! Jeff!

Frank! How are you doing?

Did we ever thank you

for the crib blanket?

No, honey. The White House

sent the crib blanket.

Frank sent

the Fisher-Price barnyard.

You sent that?

Do you know those

little cows really moo?

Jeff always plays with it

day and night.

I'd like you

to consider something.

-The answer is no.

-You haven't heard the question.

The answer is still no.

Whatever you want,

we're not interested.

We're off

the field assignment list.

Maternity leave.

You gave us a very nice party.

You said if we were in

a critical situation--

Not during

the first 18 months.

The books all show the first

18 months are essential--

Jesus.

-Tactical nuke?

-C-22.

-We are not interested.

-''C'' what?

Experimental

plastic explosive...

the most powerful plastic

ever developed.

So unstable even the Army

won't use it.

That C-22.

I thought

they stopped making it.

They did.

The remaining stock was stolen.

-Sell it to someone else.

-Please.

FBI thinks

it's organized crime.

FBI thinks everything's

organized crime.

We think it's Novacek.

Novacek?

We're incredibly not interested.

She hates me.

Remember Budapest?

You said

you'd help out a little.

Novacek is not a little.

She's a psycho.

Novacek's customers

make their points...

by blowing up innocent people,

including children.

That's a low blow.

Just find her.

We'll do the rest.

You get six months paid leave

when you finish.

That ought to help

the postnatal bonding.

Uh-uh. Just going to have

to find somebody else.

We'll throw in a bonus.

20% of annual pay.

I made a solemn promise

to Jane--

-Fifty percent.

-Don't push it.

I'm a mother now.

Know what a decent college

will cost in 20 years?

Thirty. I'm already

way over budget.

Fifty, going once.

You mercenary thing, you.

Going twice.

I want a low-profile operation.

You want low-profile,

you got low-profile.

-We'll need the usual toys.

-They're on the way.

You got one lead--

this guy Foster.

He works at Dynagon.

They developed C-22.

-Can you say plastic explosive?

-Pay attention.

I'm paying attention.

Go on.

Novacek's base

is somewhere in the delta.

She's got her people spotted

in local defence industries...

even the military.

More good news.

Near as we can tell,

she bribed a full colonel...

into stealing the last batch

of C-22 canisters.

He got spooked

and used one getting away.

Blew up half of Oklahoma.

Be careful, guys.

Novacek's more dangerous

than she looks.

Colonel!

How happy I am to see you.

You're limping.

Did you have some problems?

-Nothing I couldn't handle.

-What happened?

There was a last-minute change

in checkpoint security.

-What?

-There's one missing.

-Missing?

-That's what I'm saying.

They were bringing in

tanks and artillery.

You used

1/5 of our shipment...

just to--Oh, God--

to blast yourself out?

It was the only way out.

I know they're valuable.

Colonel...

Big, strong, colonel man.

I know you're the only one

I can trust.

Don't ma'am me.

Just call me Paulina.

Paulina, ma'am.

You just call me--Oops.

-I'll get that.

-Unforgettable.

The colonel will no longer

be working with us.

The FBI fired Blue twice?

Fired him in '81.

Rehired him in '84.

-Fired him again in '85.

-Why?

There's all kinds of rumours.

Tell him what he did

in-between.

I'm going to hate this,

ain't I?

-CIA.

-Perfect.

Till they got on the bandwagon

and fired him, too.

-Who's he with now?

-Very good question.

-Go find out!

-Yes, sir.

Mr. Foster?

You. What do you want?

Frau Novacek shall require

your services again.

No, no. I can't be

involved with that anymore.

I mean...you know.

You got no choice, little man.

Please deliver the merchandise

at the usual place.

Oh, God! When?

''Gilbert Foster,

2616 Magazine Street.

''Occupation--research scientist

at Dynagon Industries.

"Dishonorable discharge.

Marital status--divorced.''

Yoo-hoo, Ms. Blue!

Heads up.

Laurel and Hardy.

Well, the Blues.

I got a right

to sing the blues

Charming.

Cute baby. Boy or girl?

Gosh, I hope so.

She's a girl, Lieutenant.

I got two girls.

-Really? Two whole girls.

-We tried for a boy.

-Coffee?

-I'd love some cafe au lait.

Great.

Mr. Blue,

could we talk frankly?

Sure, Ted.

What you did

to those two guys--

What did you say you did

for a living?

I'm an airline pilot.

You said you're

a vacuum cleaner salesman.

If you knew, why'd you ask?

What you did to those guys

was on a professional level.

Growing up

in the mean streets--

Mean streets?

You're from Nebraska.

How did you know

where Jeff was from?

Had a little chat with

somebody from the FBI.

The man has unexpected depths.

What else did you find out?

Nothing about our sex life,

I hope.

I'm going to blush.

You weren't blushing last night.

I was blushing all over.

-Oh, yeah.

-Everywhere.

My source at the FBI says

they didn't think you were...

and I quote,

''Bureau material.''

That's true.

I'm more of an end table.

I always think of you

as a dining room chair.

Really? I see you as

a rosewood armoire...

with really nice drawers.

-Blue!

-What?

Who are you working for?

Are you a spy?

It don't have to go beyond me.

I can help you. Trust me.

-Know what's funny?

-What?

That gray van over there.

Funny ha-ha

or funny interesting?

Have you been listening to me?

It's been there seven minutes

with the motor running.

-So what?

-It's in front of a bank.

I repeat--so what?

Order me another coffee.

He's so rude sometimes.

I'm sorry.

I just have to apologize.

Excuse me.

Honey, you got to see this.

Come see what Daddy's doing.

Let's go! Go, man!

Go, God damn it! Go!

Oh, wow!

Next time, buy American.

Mrs. Blue, can we stop

with the fun and games?

First try.

Give me five.

Who is your husband

working for now?

If you'd like to know

who my husband is working for...

I suggest you ask him.

I am outraged

that he single-handedly...

foils a bank robbery

and you arrest him.

You got a lot of goddamn gall.
