Company Business

Steve, this is Roy.

There's something funny going on in "E" section.

Let's check it out.

I'm in room 168.

Nothing here.

Room 159.

Nothing doing.

He's right between you.

Room 160, negative.

Damn.

Come on, now. Talk to me, people.

You guys found anything yet?

Hang on, Roy.

161, nobody here.

I'm in room 162.

Je-sus.

We have a break-in. Break-in confirmed.

Condition red. Secure the building.

Secure the building.

All "D" Sections are sealed.

"G" Sections sealed.

Coming up stairway alpha.

Main gate closed.

We had him. Turn on that there fence!

Damn!

Maxine Grey. Good morning.

Uh, right. Yes. I could take a message.

OK. Thank you very much.

Maxine Grey. Good morning.

Uh, yes. Hello.

OK. Well, give me your number.

Right. I'll give him the message.

Thanks for calling. Bye-bye.

Maxine Grey. Good morning.

NO, I'm sorry. They're all in a conference.

May I take a message?

Sorry.

Oh. OK. Thank you.

Bye-bye.

What you got there?

Computer printouts.

How did you get it?

I random-accessed their computer with a digital sequencer...

and force-fed adjusting parameters...

until it just punched them out.

Gave them a virus for good measure.

That's good.

I love telephones.

OK. I'll tell him.

They're nearly ready for you now.

Five minutes.

Thank you.

I sprained my ankle this morning.

Oh, sorry.

Yeah.

Man, I'd just kill for a cup of coffee.

I don't suppose you could run down the hallway...

and get me a cup of coffee, could ya?

- Sure. No problem. - Yeah?

Yeah. How do you take it?

Black's fine.

Black?

Yeah. I'll hold that for you.

Good morning.

- Be right back. - OK.

I don't have any further information for you.

Maxine Grey. Good morning.

Uh, yes. Hello.

That meeting is tomorrow.

I beg your pardon.

We, uh, random-accessed their computer...

with a digital sequencer...

then force-fed adjustable parabolics...

until it just, uh, punched them out.

Then, of course, I...

slipped their computer a virus.

What the hell.

Here's what they got.

They've got your moisturizer...

your foundation cream, and your lip gloss.

No question about it, folks... they're ripping you off.

Maxine Grey owes you a debt of gratitude, Mr. Boyd.

Well, um...

I can't wait to collect.

Here.

Hello?

Who do you like in the fifth?

I think you have the wrong number.

You know where he is?

All right. I'll tell him.

Crank.

For me?

Some guy says, "Who do you like in the fifth?"

Oh, shit.

What?

Hey, uh, I got to go.

Are you serious?

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Washington, D.C...

Dulles International Airport.

We have to make a stop at International.

You're holding tickets. Chicago to Berlin.

John Jones and Avram Levi.

Why me?

Why take the Battleship Missouri out of mothballs?

Welcome to Virginia, Sam.

Elliot.

The company has missed you.

Good flight?

I could use some coffee.

Help yourself.

You know my guys Dick Maxfield, Bruce Wilson.

And this is a very special friend to the company...

Mr. Paco Gonzalez.

Mr. Gonzalez is in... Colombian pharmaceuticals.

I would very much like to help your country.

So, is this a retirement party?

We're all riding off into the sunset, are we?

Governments come and go.

Bureaucracies remain the same.

Just look at us.

Now...

We've been approached by Colonel Grigori Golitsen...

with a proposition that we find interesting.

The KGB's making propositions to you?

We do a lot of business with the KGB these days.

They're cutting deals.

You remember Ernest Sobel?

Ernest Simpson Sobel...

U-2 pilot shot down over Tashkent, 1969...

convicted of espionage...

life imprisonment.

For two million, we can have him.

Don't tell me they're that broke.

Well, we'll throw in one of theirs.

That way it'll look like a swap.

That's not illegal.

Looks better for Grigori, too.

If this works, it could be a whole new program for us.

Why don't you just wait a couple months...

and Gorbachev will send them all back...

for National Brotherhood week?

Gorbachev may not be around that long...

and then we'll have lost the chance.

The President loves this guy.

You get him back...

He'll give us the medal of honor.

We don't want the medal of honor!

What we would like...

is to get Congress off the Company's back...

SO it can resume full effectiveness...

in defending this nation from its enemies.

Thank you, Colonel Grissom.

See, Sam, they're, uh...

they're pissed because we didn't tell them...

about the wall coming down...

and then we goofed on the Noriega thing.

Who do you want to swap?

Know this guy?

Pyiotr Ivanovich Grushenko.

You do know him.

Well, it just says his name right there.

Very effective mole.

Penetrated the State Department...

Southeast Asian Division...

all the way up to level three clearance.

Arrested in 1984.

Nobody gives a shit about this guy.

Come on, Sam.

This is not arms for hostages.

This is perfectly straightforward.

If it's so straightforward...

what are we doing here in the bubble room...

with Senor Gonzalez?

I would very much like to help your country.

Mr. Gonzalez' associates have very kindly offered...

to put up the $2 million necessary for this operation.

NO way we can ask the taxpayers...

to help us out on this one, Sam.

The bills are numbered just in case...

Please. It hurts my professional pride, OK?

Sam.

May I call you Sam?

Yeah.

The point is, this is not exactly kosher.

But here's a chance to get back a major player...

with a minimum of fanfare.

Define minimum.

You.

No backup?

Perfectly straightforward.

You pick up Grushenko...

get him to Berlin by the Fourth...

bring home Sobel.

"John Jones."

What's the difference?

John Jones, man from Mars.

"Avram Levi."

I'm Israeli?

It's just a precaution.

Well, I'm no poli-sci major.
