Now sit down a minute. Make yourself comfortable. I'll tell you a little bit about the way we work here. Yeah, I've seen how you work. You run black-bag operations, you kidnap people. You beat them up, and nobody holds you accountable. We're accountable, Mr. Williams. - Let me guess. To the President. - Yep. And five of them before him. I've lost track. I don't even vote anymore. Sorry to disappoint you. I'm voting with my feet. Now you want to sit down? I'm only going to say this once. This is a wonderful country... but our legal system doesn't work the way it's supposed to. I'm talking about people who roam the halls of power with impunity. Who corrupt and subvert the very principles our constitution exists to uphold. Your friend already gave me the Gettysburg Address. Has he? Here's another one. "Guard, protect and cherish your land... "for there is no afterlife for a place that started out as Heaven." Charles M. Russell, Montana, 1926. 1926? That's ancient history, Dad. The computer said you were a smart-ass. And you never heard of computer error? Not this one. Take a look at that innocent little box, my boy. It's hooked to all those computers you saw downstairs. Every scrap of processed information in the United States comes through here. If it's out there, I can find it. It helps us keep track of the bad guys. I can find out the temperature of your ass in that chair, if I really want to know. But it won't do everything. And that's why we got you here, Mr. Williams. You're going to help remove some of the filth in there. I like that. That's nice. It's a lot nicer than "kill," or "destroy," or "terminate with extreme prejudice." That's what you're really talking about, isn't it? I think he's got it, Mr. Smith. That's exactly what we're talking about, Mr. Williams. Suppose I say no? Then you're a dead son of a bitch. And we already got a coffin. How big is this organization? Just the three of us. Mac here will get you cleaned up and briefed. You start work Monday night, Mr. Williams. Here we are. Nice pad. First hit. No big deal. You'll get used to it. Nothing like throwing in a man at the deep end. What's this guy done that's so special? Come on, Remo, we run on a need-to-know basis. You know that. Don't take any chances. This guy's a killer. Remember... in, out, like a duck mating. - Where are you gonna be? - Right behind you. How do you open this? Speak English? Does a nightingale sing? Yeah... - How do you get out of here? - The same way you came in. No good. There's a guy outside who wants me to knock off your boss. I am here alone. There is no one upstairs. Okay, now look, let's not make any trouble for each other. All I wanna do is to get out of here. It is too late for that. Hold it! I don't want to kill you, but I will if I have to. I'll show you chop-socky, you sawed-off little runt. Chiun, what do you think? He is very slow. His reflexes are pitiful. Poorly coordinated. He is in wretched physical condition. Impetuous. And clumsy. He moves like a baboon with two club feet. However... there is a feeble glint of promise in his eyes. I think I can do something with him. Good. George S. Grove.
