tell me about his day. Six seconds and I'm out. He acts like he's curing cancer or something. I guess this meansyou didn't get away for the weekend after all. - Harry had to go out oftown. - I'm shocked. Yeah, well, you know Harry. - What's up? - Check this out. There's a $2 million disbursement from Khaled to Juno Skinner. That's right. The babe at the party. That doesn't mean anything. She buys antiquities for Khaled. He keeps his antique buys on a completely separate ledger. This is a little above market rate for the horizontal bop... even for a total biscuit like her. I want a complete workup on her. - Do we know where she is? - Right here in River City. She lives in Rome, but she does stuff for the Smithsonian. She has a lot of diplomatic connections, so she has offices here. I guess it's time to send in a specialist. - Care to tango? - Yes, I would. Assholes. It's all set up. You got a fax machine, ghost phones, all the usual stuff. You have a suite at the Marquis Hotel under the name of Renquist. Reality check. Let's go. My name is Harry Renquist. I own an art consulting firm in San Francisco. I have an appointment with Miss Skinner. - Harry! - Hello. Hello. I thought I'd seeyou again. I just didn't know itwould be so soon. - What's the point ofwaiting? - I agree. Your clients are looking for something forthe lobby oftheir new headquarters? They would like to see something very dramatic. That's a nice piece. I talked to a number of people, and they all said you're the one to see. Really? Checking on me. So what did these people say about me exactly? That you can read ancient Sanskrit without having to sound out the words... and other art dealers and archaeologists don't like you very much. Those wimps. It's because I use my diplomatic contacts to export cultural treasures... from countries which tell them to take a hike. Most of our pieces come from ancient Persia. Unfortunately, ancient Persia is 20 feet under the sand of Iran, Iraq and Syria. Not the most popular places lately. So I've had to become an expert in international diplomacy. Well, Mr Renquist? Doyou see anythingyou like? Maybe. Give me a break. I don't think they bugged my tuna sandwich. She's importing stuff from all over the Mideast. She could be moving money, guns, anything. The second you left, we started getting calls to the ghost numbers. They were checking out the Renquist front. Let's step up the surveillance and put on two more guys. Maurizio, I said Saturday, not Tuesday. Saturday. Miss Skinner, may I have a word with you, please? Stupid, undisciplined bitch. It's a good thing you're paying me a lot of money. Doyou realize there are surveillance teams watching this place right now? Yourtelephones are almost certainly tapped. And you were busy laughing and flirting like a whorewith this Renquist... He checked out okay... We do not tolerate mistakes. What would you like me to do? Find out where this Renquist is. Hello, Tektel Systems. MrTasker's office. Hi, Charlene? Hi, it's Helen. Is he in? Harry's in a sales meeting, Mrs Tasker. Let me try him in there. Hold, please. Relay, 10024. It's a patch from Tektel. It's Helen. Hello, honey. How areyou? What's going on? Hi.

We justwanted to make sure thatyou were gonna be home. Absolutely. This timeyou can count on me. - Promise? - Trust me. - Great. - Got to go. Bye. Bye. - That's disgusting, Dana. - Calm down. We got a friend. Three cars back on the inside lane. They've been on us since we left the hotel. - You mean the station wagon? - Yes. - You want me to lose them? - No. We need this lead. Unit Seven? Seven here. We needyou at the Georgetown Mall in three minutes. - Copy.
