I get it.

You have a day off...

and you're

spending it together.

No. Here's what

you're doing--

pissing away

the taxpayers' money.

That's what we're paid for.

And following around

CIA agents in New Orleans.

Will you get off that already?

I say you're CIA.

Good. Say it.

Tell me,

what are you doing here?

This is a cemetery.

Are you here

on company business?

Lieutenant, will you

get off this CIA kick?

I'm a regular guy,

almost a regular guy.

I got a wife, a baby.

Enjoy yourself

and watch the funeral.

I've seen plenty of funerals.

I'm here to keep an eye on you.

Lord have mercy.

Jesus Christ!

I guess he got here early.

Hi. How are you?

How was my Jonathan?

Was he any trouble?

Oh, no. He's a good baby.

Did you enjoy the jazz cruise?

We missed the boat.

Too bad.

When we did that--

When was it, Vern?

Two years ago.

-Three years ago.

-No, honey, it was not.

It was right after

my haemorrhoid surgery.

You told me about that.

He doesn't want to hear

about your haemorrhoids.

Come to Daddy!

Thank you so much.

If you ever want us

to watch Louise Jane...

just let us know.

Jane Louise, honey.

No, Louise Jane.

We'd be more than happy.

Thank you.

We'll take you up on that.

Good night. Sleep tight.

-You tired?

-Very.

Oh, really?

That's just too bad, honey.

Because you know why?

Because I had

some real fun in mind.

Like what, for instance?

Breaking and entering

into the house of a dead man...

is not my idea

of a lot of fun.

It would be if you didn't take

all night to open the door.

Madam needs to be changed.

Change her yourself.

This is a five-pin Chubb.

See Mommy picking the big lock?

When you're a big girl,

she'll teach you to pick locks.

Of course, she still

may be picking this one.

One minute even.

Pretty slick.

Thank you.

OK...

We can assume the cops tossed

the place pretty thoroughly.

At least

all the obvious places.

So we'll start with

the refrigerator.

That's funny.

-What?

-A shoe.

-And?

-It's got a foot in it.

Evening.

All right.

You going to tell us

the whole story?

We can tell you

part of the story.

-Tell me all of it.

-Part or nothing.

How about we bust your ass

for B-and-E?

How about we talk to

your nice governor?

All right.

Tell me part of the story.

It's hard to know

where to begin.

My parents were

really simple folks.

My father was a steam fitter.

The relevant part.

What do you know about recent

Czechoslovakian politics?

No more Commie threat

and a bloodless revolution.

-Very good.

-l saw it on PBS.

File.

Who is this?

Paulina Novacek,

head of the Czech secret police.

She left Prague two jumps

ahead of the firing squad.

-She's in New Orleans?

-We think so.

She's got men planted

in labs and factories...

all over the south.

Industrial theft.

Steals weapons,

chemicals, sells them.

So you got to find her

and send her back?

-There's no extradition.

-Has to go voluntarily.

And you think

Foster worked for Novacek.

He was the middleman

that funnelled stuff to her...

and through him

we'll find the big guys.

So we have

to find the middleman.

There you go, Janie.

Don't squirt Daddy.

Honey?

Come here.

I think I got it.

-Come here, baby.

-Gentlemen.

Will you give me a hand,

Lieutenant?

Pick it up. Easy, easy.

-Holy mackerel!

-Look at that.

-Look at that.

-Careful.

Allow me.

Damn. Nothing but money.

What's wrong with money?

We were hoping for a name.

Allow me.

Come on, baby.

We'll put you to bed.

Thank you.

-That's interesting.

-What?

There's a Rampart Savings

and Loan with an ATM.

Why would Foster go across town

to use another branch?

That is interesting.

Come on.

Weight on the left leg.

Swing the right leg

from the hip.

Come on. That's good.

There we go.

Good. Oh, well.

-When I was her age--

-She is right on schedule.

I was walking at eight months.

You walked

at a year and a half.

Your mother was ready

to call in specialists.

Take this.

You think Sawyer can handle

this thing at the bank?

Sure. He's OK.

He really is.

Ready?

This is

an incredible alligator.

Ready?

Let's try it.

I figure the range is about

15 miles, plus or minus one.

Think that'll do it?

-Should be fine.

-It better be.

That's a beautiful alligator.

Look at that alligator go.

I really appreciate this help,

Lieutenant.

It's easy.

March right up to him...

and start talking

as loud as possible.

-Loud?

-Loud and obnoxious.

Just act natural.

You got to laugh

at yourself more, sir.

-Let me help you out.

-Stop it!

Cut it out.

Loud.

Loud and proud, sir.

Just you wait.

I'd like some assistance,

please!

We're police officers!

Is there anyone in here

that can help me?

Now!

Hear what I just said?

I need some information!

Who's in charge of

the automatic teller machine?

I want to talk to them now!

Excuse me.

Is there a problem?

Can I help you in some way?

Mr. Ferderber?

New Orleans Police Department.

How many times

do I have to say this?

How many times?

Who's in charge of

the automatic teller machine?

Must be hard of hearing.

That's all right.

I understand.

I can help you.

Would you come with me?

Just have a seat

in my office here.

I'll make sure someone

assists you immediately.

-Thanks.

-All right?

Better be quick, too.

Hi, hon.

What's happening?

I just got Louise down

for her nap.

Scare up a white lab coat.

Does it have to be white?

I feel very pale today.

Just make it fast.

Got to go.

FBI! You're under arrest!

You have the right

to remain silent.

If you give up that right...

you may talk, sing, dance,

or impersonate Elvis.

You also have

the right to an attorney.

If you're broke and can't afford

an attorney, tough sh*t!

Get in the car,

you suspected felon!

What am I being charged with?

That's for me to know

and you to find out.

Who's she?

Allow me to introduce

Dr. Natasha Lottelenya...

of the Rosa Klebb

Institute, Leningrad.

Hello. This lunatic

has kidnapped me.

I'm afraid Dr. Lottelenya

doesn't speak any English...

but I'll be happy

to translate.

What is that?

What is that thing?

What is she doing?

Dr. Lottelenya is one of

the world's leading experts...

on the prevention

and control of extreme pain.

Interestingly enough,

she's also an authority...

on the causation

of extreme pain.

What are you saying?

Is she going to do something?

That depends on you...

on how much

you're willing to tell us.

Oh, God.

I can't tell you anything.

Honest, honest.

I don't know anything.

I understand...

and believe me,

I respect that.

What needles?

This is state of the art.

In the old days, we used

Zippo lighters and rats...

but this...

this is called Jane's Probe.

Now, when introduced

past the left eyeball...

you can insert it right into

the pain centre of the brain.

Then a little electric current--

God, what is that? Don't!

It's not necessary!

Who's that?

That's Professor Lancaster.

He was really a tough one
