- Tell me, Lou.

What were you thinking

blowing your cover like that?

- I wasn't thinking very much.

- That's the cover story

you chose, Lou.

We were ready to retire you

to a beach somewhere.

- Well, I never really

expected this night lo happen.

- Didn't you?

Coming up with that story

about Jake's girlfriend being

mixed up with the Krakhovians...

- That is what where

all the evidence points at.

- And on top of that,

he tells me you divulged

classified information.

And you told him about us.

- I... I told him about.

Uh, a double agent.

I didn't use your

name or anything.

But what's the difference?

He's used to his grandpa

telling him these wacky stories.

He never believed a word of it.

- He thinks you're

the greatest thing

since the personal computer.

- Really, huh?

Hmm...

- Tomorrow, we'll relocate

you to a safe house.

- Um, would it be all right if

I said goodbye to my grandson?

- What for? It'll just make

things harder for everyone.

Excuse me.

Yes?

- Officer, you're

needed in the control room.

I'll be right there.

I've got to go.

- Ah...

- Here. You've

got clearance.

- Oh...

- get yourself a cup of coffee.

Catch a nap

in the officer's mess.

We'll move you out

in a few hours.

- OK, thanks.

- I'm sorry it has to

be this way, Lou.

- Yeah, well...

OK, sweetie.

Thanks. That Angie Wagner thing.

You're sure about that, huh?

- She's fine! Quit

torturing yourself.

Gel some rest.

- I've been doing that

for years, you know.

- Oh, and, Lou...

don't do anything stupid.

- I'm getting loo old

for the game now.

- Come on. come on. come on.

- Ah!

- Whoa, whoa!

- Yeah! Ah...

- Oh!

- It's OK.

- Oh, you reek!

- In my country, we have saying;

"If you hide in vat

of manure for 3 days,

"you don't come out

smelling like the roses."

- OK!

- This does...

This does nothing.

Good night, budgie rabbit.

- We think it could be

from Komenkho's hideout.

- This just came in through 911.

- Play it.

- Hello! My name

is Angie Wagner,

and I've been kidnapped.

Um... My car broke down.

And there was an ambulance

and these SUVs.

And they shot 2 people!

He did! That man from the TV.

- OK, Angie, calm down.

Tell me where you are.

- He... he... he saw me.

And he took me to, um...

I don't know. It's... it's...

It's somewhere by the warez.

Look, I got out of the room

they were homing me in

and I got this phone,

but I don't know

when they're gonna be back.

- Call 911.

Give them our

clearance information.

Tell them it was

a training call.

- Yes. ma'am.

- Hey.

- Sir?

- I'm here to, um, bring the kid

back to Madeleine Harcourt.

Here you go.

OK, uh.

Let's go, Jake.

- What? No.

- Excuse me.

Come here, son.

Look, we don't have anytime.

I'll tell you about

everything later, all right?

- I know all about you.

- Yeah?

- The Section B and everything.

- It's not true.

- Madeleine told me.

- Look, quite a few

people in this world

would like to see my ass dead.

So they built this cover story.

Come on.

- No, man!

I'm not going anywhere with you!

Look, I'm tired of everyone

telling me what to do! OK?

- Listen, Angie is

in a lot of trouble.

- No, she's not.

Just because we can't find her

does not mean she is missing.

She must be fine.

- She is not fine.

And if we don't move.

And I'm talking about right now.

She's gonna be a lot

worse than not fine, OK?

Look at me.

I am not crazy.

- How do I know?

- You don't.

You don't. But you do know

that I'm your grandfather.

You know I'm kind of capable.

Look, as you get older.

You're gonna have a lot

of these moments.

And when they happen.

The best advice I can give you

is you listen to your

heart and your guts.

And you won't go wrong.

So...

What do you say?

- OK.

- OK.

- OK.

- Put up the interrogation room.

Zoom in.

Dammit, Lou!

Call security at the entrance.

I'm sure they can

slop Major Crawford.

- Yes, ma'am.

- Security.

- Aren't they looking for us?

- They are now.

How you doing?

- One moment, sir.

Are you Major Crawford?

- Uh, yes.

Yes, I am.

Are you, um. shocked

and unconscious?

That's the trouble

with this generation.

They have no stamina.

- Ma'am...

- Hey, so what are we

supposed to do?

They have our car keys.

- We don't need car keys.

I, uh...

I got my, uh...

- Bobby pin?

- No, it's the

original bobby pin.

It's my money clip,

my nose plug,

uh, temporary zipper repair

and my lock pick.

- Oh.

- Come on!

- Grandpa, there's a gate!

- Screw it! Hit it.

- Should we send men after them?

Ma'am?

- Angie got kidnapped

by Komenkho.

- Komenkho? No.

He's dead, remember?

- Here's what I think happened;

Angie's on the way to the party.

The car goes on the fritz.

She makes that phone call.

After the phone call, she hears

something from the alley.

She runs out.

She sees this ambulance,

but the patient, he's not dead.

No. He's very much alive.

- I see movement!

- This way!

- Run, run. run!

- In the trees!

So, they kidnap Angie

and they get her car towed.

- So, Komenkho faked

his heart attack.

- Well. I mean. he's

indicted on war crimes.

He's got to get out of here.

Angie's his insurance policy.

If we can hack

into the 911 system.

We can get her location.

That's it.

- We have to talk to Wendell.

' Who?

- Wendell. Trust me.

He's the guy.

- Hey, slop! Hey, hey!

It's Jake. It's Jake.

Look, we need you to hack

into the 911 phone system.

- Now?

- Yeah.

- It's impossible.

- Not for you.

- It's a government system.

Heavily encrypted.

Maybe if I had

my own terminal, I could...

- If we got a government

terminal, would you do it?

Get up!

- Let's go!

- Now?

- Yeah.

- What's going on?

- What?

Major Lou Crawford,

on my doorstep!

- How you been, Harry?

- You come to finally

pay up on that card game?

- I will. But I need

your help, all right?

- Well. come on in.

- Hi.

- Harry, we brought Wendell here

to hack into the 911 system

because we're tracing

a phone call.

- Meet the last

of the UNIVAC 2000s.

Built it myself, like

everything else in here.

- Jake, the calculator

on my phone

is more sophisticated

than this thing.

- Well, maybe the Japs have

got you fooled into thinking

that phone of yours

is the cat's teats.

But I ain't never met

a communications system

that could keep out

Old Reliable here.

- My phone's from Korea.

- Koreans make phones?

Well, what's next?

We make pals with the Cubans?

- Actually...

- Listen, if you want

to break into

a government system.

My UNIVAC is the

only game in town.

Let me show you

something else here.

Wait till you see this!

The 7th cup.

All from the same bag.

" Tea?

- Oh, uh...

- Tea? What about

my 911 call?

- Right, right.

Um... All right, boys.

You, go over there

and wait until I tell you

to throw that switch.

You, sit down here

and wait till I tell you

to push the button.

- OK.

- OK. get ready.

- This is safe, right?

- Well, we'll soon find out.

All right.
