You know this is what always happens.
LeeWhat?
I always have to go back to the Agency.
LeeWe’ve got to divide the work.
I agree with you let’s divide the work load, you follow the paper trail and I’ll follow Zorbel.
LeeYou think you can break into Zorbel’s place?
No.
LeeWell?
Call me a cab.
LeeYou’re a cab.
Thank you
Oh.
LeeWhat?
Well some of this stuff is a little misleading you know, it’s the legal talk, I mean it says I’m resistant to change and that can’t be me, I was never a stubborn person, I’m just not a stubborn person.
LeeWell you sure know how to get what you want.
Lee – I’m not stubborn am I? Ok I’m a little stubborn.
You know now there are a few things that we probably ought talk about before we get checked in. You know I know we don’t have any problems now but we’re out here in the parking lot in the middle of the day and we wouldn’t want to have any problems later so if we could just get a few things straight now...
LeeAmanda this really isn’t necessary...
I know it isn’t but just indulge me ok?
LeeOh alright.
Well alright in the first place I like to take my shower first thing in the morning, now I know that there’s some men who like to go into the bathroom and they lock the door and they go in with the newspaper and the shave and they read the paper and I don’t know what they do in there but they take over an hour – and I just hope your not one of those kind of guys, you know? But anyway even if you are maybe we can figure out some sort of a compromise that’s comfortable for both of us. Now the other thing is when I sleep at night I like to leave the window cracked just about this much, just enough for a little fresh air, now I hope that’ll be alright with you if it won’t I’ll crack it just about that much...
LeeAmanda.
Yeah?
LeeWe’re registered as brother and sister.
You and me?
LeeYes we’ve got our own room, bathroom, bedroom the whole works.
Well that’ll make things much easier.
LeeYeah.
We don’t look a thing alike.
LeeLet me walk you to your room.
Across the hall?
LeeWell yeah – you can’t be to careful you know?
That’s good thinking.
LeeHmm second nature, field experience.
What kind of field experience?
LeeYou know.
Not necessarily.
LeeYou know how I am about reading the small print.
Oh, speaking of small print here’s some that I don’t think you’ve read at all yet. It’s your prescription from Dr Scardelli.
LeeWhat?
Hmmm.
LeeBed rest and total relaxation for five days, hey look I’m fine, I’ve got a thousand things to do around here I can’t...
I second that prescription Scarecrow and that’s an order, Mrs King I have an assignment for you.
Yes sir, what is it?
Him, I’m giving you a temporary AOS16 status, so that he will get that rest.
Yes sir, I won’t let you down.
LeeAOS16?
Higher than you, that’s right.
LeeOne level higher.
Step right this way please.
Lee, we have to stop playing this telephone tag it isn’t getting us anywhere.
LeeSave it Amanda, I’ve got about 20 seconds before they lock onto this line and track it, you’ve got to go home.
Go home? What are you gonna do?
LeeI’m trying to find Sonia, the Agency’s crawling all over her apartment, she won’t go back there anyway.
Let me help you.
LeeNo all you can do now is lead them to me, now we know it is Alexi you are in danger. You’ve got to go home, take the long way, use up their manpower, but don’t lose them, they’re your security blanket, you got it? I need time to play one more card, be careful… I love you.
What?
LeeAmanda, I meant what I said on the phone, I just want you to know that before I go. I love you, I have for a very, very long time. I just, I was just never ready to... you know?
I know.
(voice over from downstairs) I’m coming… Amanda I think those Federal Agents are here.
LeeNow they’re going to be up here in a minute.
Now wait a minute you can’t just walk into my life, hand me a package, tell me to give it to the man in the red hat, tell me that you love me and walk out of my life again.
LeeCute place do you come here often?
At least it’s something.
LeeIt looks like a bad place to get surrounded in.
Is there such a thing as a good place?
LeeAmanda, what are you doing here? I thought I told you to take the day off?
Well you did, that was yesterday, not today.
What did you just do?
LeeSwiped a vial of Bromazepam
Are you crazy! That stuff's experimental, it's got unpredictable side effects and it can turn your brain inside out like a wet paper bag!
LeeThat's why I need it.
It's controlled!
LeeI've been trained to use it.
You stole it!
LeeYou helped me.
Ooh, an unpleasant little detail!
Lee can you hear me?
LeeMmm.
Do you know who I am?
LeeMy Amanda.
Beeman called he wants me to check out that possible bogus passport the Finns called about, the man's in the hospital. It’s my first Class C interrogation.
LeeAh a Class C interrogation is a soft interrogation, lots of handholding, sweet talking, maybe we can make up for lost time by practicing on me.
I don’t think you need any practice.
LeeHow about dinner tomorrow night at my place?
You don’t have any food at your place.
LeeExactly.
LeeThink of this as a celebration for Zhmed being accepted for the defectors relocation project. I can only speak for myself when I say that we are long overdue for some celebrating around here, especially the type that includes only the two of us, so with that thought in mind some romantic candlelight, a little bubbly, a little romance. (he sees Amanda has fallen asleep on the chair) a very little romance
I may be sleepy but I’m not dead.
LeeSo what happened?
I think I got to her.
LeeAnd?
She’s in love with Carmine.
LeeSo what?
Well she’s not going to tell us where he is.
LeeIt’s amazing how a little romance can complicate things
