Acapulco H.E.A.T. (1998–…): Season 1, Episode 1 - Code Name: The Raven - Part 1 - full transcript
Tonight on
"Acapulco H.E.A.T."...
- Nicole, my dear,
I need you to handle it.
- Nicole, you're a spy?
- They are no match
for the Raven!
- I need experienced help.
Ahh!
I want you in.
- I'm not in that business
any longer.
- Do you have the necklace?
- I've seen
this necklace before...
right here in Puerto Vallarta!
We only came for the jewels.
- I don't know what
to do with that.
- Then tell me what
you didn't tell the cops.
- It wouldn't be right.
- We have someone
on the grounds, gentlemen.
Find him.
- ♪ Oh can you feel it
♪ Burning inside, yeah
♪ Making it hazy
♪ Making me crazy
♪ I'm on the street
♪ I feel the heat
♪ I feel the motion
♪ Keep all my love alive
♪ Come to the ocean
♪ I'm on the street
♪ I feel the heat
- Aah!
- Unh!
- Aah!
- Aah!
Let's go! Let's go!
Come on, team, move!
Move now!
Everything!
Let's go!
Okay, we're outta here!
- No!
Ugh!
- Well, what do you think?
- I'd rather not at my age.
It might prove to be fatal.
- Oh, not you, Paul.
You're too French to ever
deny yourself that pleasure.
- Nicole, my darling,
please forget for a moment
that I am one
of your oldest friends.
Right now, I'm a representative
of the Minister of Culture.
This is Rudolf Serge
from the Russian embassy
and Senor Perez
who represents the liaison
between our countries.
May we speak to you in private,
please?
- Joanna is private.
She's like family,
and who knows my affairs.
- I don't mind leaving
if you want, Nicole.
I mean, if...
If it's none of my business,
then it's none of my business.
- I do mind.
- Well, gentlemen?
- As you wish.
I need you to find a man
and help recover
some valuable properties.
- I am no longer in the
international security business.
I sell clothes, not services.
This is foolishness.
We should go public
with the theft
and face the reality
of the situation
with our own security people.
- Do not let this woman's beauty
blind you
to her natural abilities.
She was one of the most
effective agents
this government ever had.
- Nicole, you were a spy?
- I'm afraid right now
that she is a bankrupt one.
My dear, I believe
you are in debt
for a total of 700,000 francs.
- Is that correct?
- Uh, do you want me to say?
Th-The real number would be
842,000 francs,
not counting current bills.
And then
there's our credit cards,
and they could melt
any minute now.
- Then I can help both of you.
I have a business,
an organization,
which will help
your needs and ours.
You will be paid
by individual contract.
- I already have a business.
- And I will save you from it.
- Um, would those fees cover
current losses
and certain expenses?
- Of course.
Who decides what's fair?
- I do.
- That will work out.
- Can we get to our purpose
or leave?
- Nicole, my dear,
I need you for a manhunt.
I want you to find and recover
six paintings.
They are masterpieces
that had been lost since
World War II.
We found them
before they could be
returned to their country
of origin.
They were stolen
in a bloody raid.
And, I need you...
to find the Raven.
These are the only photographs
available on this man,
but he has a history
of crimes throughout Europe.
His names and other
false identities
you will find in this file.
We believe he is European.
- The Raven...
I haven't heard of him in years.
Not since the assassinations
in England.
- Uh, does that mean
I'll be a spy also?
- Neither one of us
will be a spy.
- This is ridiculous.
They are no match for the Raven!
- I will expect a personal note
of apology from you.
What is the business you offer?
It was funded by
a group of countries called
the Coalition
to conduct anti-terrorist
covert activities.
It was disbanded, but certain of
its members and equipment
are in the part of
the country to which we believe
The Raven is now headed.
- They had a code name
I would have known.
- It was called
Acapulco H.E.A.T.
This item is an emerald
and diamond bracelet
set in white gold
with a total weight of over
nine ounce.
She's a beauty.
- You really think so, Zyker,
or is she just a featured choice
in a pressing time schedule?
- I think she'd hold her own
anywhere.
- No, not anywhere.
This jewelry show is a way
of traveling around
Latin America
and selling off the paintings.
It gives me an excuse
for security and men
with weapons.
If your actions interfere
with my business arrangements
in any way, you'll die.
I'm sure you understand that.
- I never doubted that
for a moment.
- You'll deliver one
of the items
in La Paz and collect the fee.
I shall continue the cruise
on to Puerto Vallarta
for the next few shows.
- Where do I find you?
- You don't.
I'll find you.
Until then, think of your bonus
and two other very important
things.
- What?
- Celibacy and a long life.
- ♪ Oh
More sensuous.
That's good, guys.
A little more energy, okay?
A little more energy.
Uh, Carlos, can you turn up
the music?
- ♪ Touch me
- We're not just selling
swimsuits here.
We're selling fantasy and glitz.
Now, think hot, think sexy.
Oh, that's great, guys.
Great.
- ♪ Talking 'bout now
- Oh, that's great, guys.
- ♪ I wanna touch your body
- Okay, go make
your last change.
We're almost done.
- Hi.
My name is Nicole Bernard.
I know who you are.
I'm here to offer you
the kind of work
you are far better suited for.
- That's a pretty strong
approach.
And what is it you think
I'm better suited for?
- A great many things.
I am the new owner
of Acapulco HEAT Fashions.
- I used to represent them.
They're a wonderful
organization, but it's over.
I do this now.
But, good luck.
- It doesn't have to be over.
I need experienced help,
and I'm ready to make you
a full partner.
Oh, I don't think so.
Acapulco H.E.A.T. was
a unique enterprise
made up of very special people.
Friends.
But they're almost all gone now.
- Not all.
And I think it's time
for you and I to make
new friends.
- I don't even know who you are.
Why would I want to return
to the fashion business
with you?
- Make some calls.
Start with your Mr. Smith
from the Coalition.
- He's retired.
- He'll take your call
and answer all your questions.
- I have a shoot to finish.
- I've done quite a few pictures
in my past professions.
You make the call,
I'll finish your shoot.
If I screw up, fire me.
- That's Tommy?
- Yeah, that's Tommy.
If he goes for it, I will too.
- He means that much to you?
- Oh, everyone
on H.E.A.T. did.
Tommy's the only one left
in Puerto Vallarta.
Everyone else is gone
and don't want to be found,
and I have to respect that.
- So will I.
What is he doing down there?
- I don't know,
but I have a feeling
it'll be worth waiting for.
Hey, hey, hey, hey.
- Hey, back off.
- He needs some help.
- No, it's okay.
It looks pretty even to me.
How are you in a fight?
- Yeah, I'm okay.
- Good, let's go.
- Ahh!
Let's get out of here!
Get out of here, guys!
Come on!
- When are you gonna shave
and take a shower?
- Well... I guess when I move
out of my truck,
buy some new shoes.
What are you doing
on my beach, Cat?
You look awful.
You said that three days ago.
- You looked awful
three days ago.
- Well, I'm consistent.
- Meet Nicole Bernard.
She is the new owner
of Acapulco H.E.A.T.
And she wants us back in.
Aw, to do what?
- I want you to do
what you did before.
- Well, I'm not in that business
any longer.
- I want you in.
- To do what?
The important jobs?
The big picture!
Heal the world!
I heard it all before.
Yeah, I believed.
- They said we were important!
That we were needed!
Till the purse strings just got
a little too tight.
And suddenly, we didn't mean
anything to anybody.
But I had a chance
to look around, you know,
while we were saving the world.
Where I live...
turned to crap!
Some of those people
we were fighting
used to be good kids.
And now, they wa-wait
for a connection.
You know, I see this stuff
in front of my face every day.
What do we do about that?
- Okay, I'll tell you what.
I'll take that trip with you
if you take mine.
- Oh, just like that, boom.
I'm supposed to believe you.
- I spoke to Mr. Smith.
- He vouched for her.
If she says it, she'll do it.
- Okay, well then, you join her.
- I am!
I didn't come here
for your permission.
I'm a part of the team,
and you could be too.
I want you in.
- Tell me... You tell me,
what are we supposed to do
when people can't afford us,
right?
We sit on top
of the mountain and get fat?
Do we look fat to you?
You know what I'm talking about.
- Then know what I mean.
I said what wewould do.
You have my word.
What else can I do?
- I guess you already have.
You've got a great leg there.
Thanks.
- Anyway,
the dealers will be back.
- Yeah, and I'll be here
to give 'em more grief.
- We'll all be back here.
- Okay.
Okay, I'm in.
- Shake a leg.
- I'm Joanna.
I think I've got it all working.
- I think you do too.
How did you do this so quickly?
- Oh, a couple of doojiggers,
and a whatchamacallit,
and then a crossover with some
of those things
with the prongs on it.
And they all do something
or other,
and then, da-daa, it all works.
It was almost a no-brainer.
- Joanna is an electronic
and data processing genius.
She can do anything with
a computer or wires,
and anything she can wrap
a tool around.
- Oh, yeah, like doojiggers
and whatchamacallits.
Hey, can you fix a toaster?
- I can make it play stereo.
- She can never explain
how she does it,
but she can make anything work.
- Is she any good in the field?
- She's not trained
or equipped for that,
but she's an important member
of the new H.E.A.T. team.
Hi.
So, do you always dress
like that?
- No, I've got better things.
These are just work clothes.
Well, so are these.
But, we'll talk later.
Is that our target?
That and millions
of dollars worth
of Old World art masterpieces.
Six of them.
The face is called the Raven.
He has no other labels.
- I have all the data
cross-checked
with all the possible routes
of travel
and all that stuff.
I also listed available
underground markets for the art.
It sort of adds up
to what we were told.
- Which is?
- European ports
were sealed off.
The only escape route leads
to Mexico
and to South America.
- Which means the Raven
is headed in our direction.
- "Acapulco H.E.A.T."
- will be right back.
- I never thought I'd see
this sign again.
- It's only wood, Cat.
Don't get so sentimental.
- Well, it's gonna look
fantastic
when the building's finished.
Oh, you guys are all cynics.
- I'm not!
I think this is all great.
We also have a shipment
to unpack.
It looks terrific!
- What are you wearing
underneath that...
canvas shroud?
- I don't understand.
- Jockey or boxers?
- Oh... that.
I have underwear on.
- Good.
Now, I want you to stay calm.
- You don't have to do that.
You know,
I have some real short sleeves.
All right!
- I didn't know
the doorbell was broken.
- I'll have it checked
on my way out.
I hope all went well in La Paz.
- I followed orders.
- Not completely.
- Hey, I never failed you.
You know you can trust me.
- Do not presume
to know me that well.
We've been associated
for less than one year,
and although successful...
Until now...
That does not give you the power
to make decisions for yourself.
Do you have the necklace?
It seems at least
that part went smoothly.
- Well, the painting
is now hanging
in Senor Diaz's sub-basement.
He was very happy with
his million-dollar trade.
- You did fine up to that point.
But then you chose
to celebrate with the company
of a very different
professional.
- The deal was complete.
I had no idea how long
it would be before
you guys would show up.
- That makes no difference.
You were to wait.
You jeopardized
the whole operation
by letting your loins take
the place of your brain.
- I still did my job first.
- And you will still receive
your bonus.
That money is yours, gentlemen.
Let's just say that Zyker
has left it to you in his will.
- You...
- Clean it up.
- I was able to access
all the passenger lists
from the airlines
and tourist cards
from the government office.
I tapped into hotel reservations
and villa rentals.
I cross-checked the whole batch.
- Good, but tourists move
in and out every day.
Are we gonna be able
to keep up with that?
- No, but somehow
this computer program can.
The longer the Raven stays
in Puerto Vallarta,
the better chance
we have of finding him.
- Are you saying
all we have to do is wait?
- I have some locations
to check,
some of the villas
that were rented
on a long-term basis.
- It's a start.
The oldest piece
in this collection dates back
to the early 1930s
and comes to us from Spain.
Pure art deco, it is true
to the style
of the casa nadas
with good taste.
It is valued at over $1 million.
Senorita, please, do not touch.
- Well, if it's for sale,
I should have the right
to examine it.
The lady is absolutely right.
My name is Ramon Valdez.
These jewels are mine.
You are free to examine them
as you wish,
but they are not for sale.
- You don't appear to be someone
who lives off of charity.
- Nor do you.
Senorita.
Senora?
- Miss.
My name is Cat.
I operate a small shop
at the Marriott Hotel.
This item look like
it was made in Italy.
- Actually, it was Spain.
I bought it at an estate auction
for much more than it was worth.
I'm a great admirer
of beautiful things.
Would you care to see
some more of my collection?
- I'd like more than that.
I'd like you to give your show
at my hotel.
Of course, there would be
a small commission of any sales.
- There are no sales.
These shows are only to see
if there is a market
for these items
in this resort area.
Would you care to join me
for a late lunch?
Perhaps, further discuss
business arrangements.
- Business?
- Of course.
Among other things.
May I send a car for you?
3:30 would be fine.
My card.
- Check her out.
Oh, no! Let's see.
- I don't know.
- Oh!
Oh, I was just... Oh, my God!
Joanna, get in touch
with Nicole.
We just found one of the people
on the list...
DOA on a beach, floating,
south of town.
Yeah, he was shot.
I think we got our first scent.
- His tourist card says
he is Philip Zyker, Canadian.
But it shows no passport
in that name.
- How did he arrive?
- Well, he flew in from La Paz,
but I don't know how
he got there in the first place.
- Well, he fits the age
and general description
of the Raven.
- The hairline and eye color
can be adjusted,
but the cheekbones and the ears
do not look like a match.
- Yeah but that's if the picture
of the Raven is untouched.
I mean, it could be him.
What did his fingerprints show?
- Nothing.
No record.
- Come on, everybody's got
some kind of record.
- Okay.
But I still can't find it.
Where do we go from here?
- Sure do have a way
of cuttin' through it,
don't you, Joanna?
- What do you mean?
- Not important right now.
We know he was a guest
at the Bel-Air Hotel.
Anybody have a contact there
that might help us?
- Yeah! Tommy's well-known
at the poolside bar there.
- Uh, used to be.
- Ha!
- I'm reformed.
- What were you before?
- Perfect.
Could I say something?
I really have to.
This Raven, I knew that
he was a thief
and a killer
when I joined the group.
And... And I wanted
to be a part of it.
I still do.
It's just that I've never been
this close
to a real murder before.
- If you want out,
I'll understand.
I mean, we forget,
we're not part of the norm,
and this is what we do.
- Oh, no, no.
That's not it.
It's just that I was never
very good at doing most things.
I mean, I was an okay
but not great student.
I went to Paris to be an artist.
I was okay, but not that good.
- We're not complaining.
- I am!
I want to be better than okay.
I want to be more
than office help.
I want to work with all of you.
- It could be very dangerous.
You will have to learn
a lot more about investigations,
weapons.
There's a lot more to it.
- I want to try.
I want to be really good
at something
besides fixing things
and not knowing
how I made them work.
I know I can do it.
- Yeah.
Yeah, me too.
Let's adopt her.
- Just don't call me
"Uncle Tommy."
Okay?
So, you come with me
for lesson number one.
- Come on, Tommy.
Call me Joe, man.
Everybody in Mexico
is called Jose.
I speak English.
I went to high school.
I make money.
I am a Joe.
- I like the way that Jose
rolls off my lips.
- Yeah, well, ain't nothing
rolling off these lips
till we reach
a little agreement.
- Okay, Joe, "joo" tell me...
about the dead guy.
- He didn't want no perks.
One bedroom, Jacuzzi, a bar.
He was an okay tipper,
no big deal.
Checked in yesterday.
He got killed.
Now there is a school principal
and a student in the suite.
They don't leave the room.
- No, no, no, see,
that is what you told the cops.
What I want is what you remember
for special friends.
- Ah, I'm a righteous citizen?
- Oh, yeah, of course you are.
That's why you're not
in jail, right?
Now, tell me what
you didn't tell the cops.
- And it wouldn't be right.
- No. But it could be very...
profitable.
- You know, the exchange rate
isn't what it used to be.
- He had a visitor the night
before he... checked out.
- What'd he look like?
- He was a she.
Mr. Zyker
wanted some company
and I made arrangements for it.
- Oh.
You do things like that?
- Only on a very exclusive
basis, okay?
- And... And do you charge
for doing that?
- She for real?
- Look...
where do I find the lady?
- You don't.
I do.
- You are a very conniving
and dishonest man, Jose.
Joe.
You made a deal,
and... and we paid.
Now, a deal is a deal,
so either tell us
or tell the police.
And I think we would look
much more kindly towards your...
occupation than they would.
- Well, now you know
she's for real.
Well, when I left he was okay.
He was a lot of fun.
He sold jewelry, or made it,
or something.
And he showed me
this beautiful necklace.
It must have been worth
a fortune.
- There was nothing
like that found in his room.
Could it have been stolen?
- Certainly not by me!
I gave him his money's worth.
- Oh, I'm sorry.
I didn't mean you.
I'm... I'm sure that...
you were more than...
more than fair.
- Somebody already asked.
She's definitely for real.
- You know what?
You put her in
a cheerleader's costume
and she could make
a lot of money.
- Look, if you can describe
the necklace,
Joanna here can make
a sketch of it.
- I will never forget it.
It was beautiful.
- I've seen this necklace
before...
right here in Puerto Vallarta!
We are getting closer
to the Raven.
- Stay tuned, the H.E.A.T.
- team will be back in a moment.
- You said you'd send a car.
I didn't think
you'd do it yourself.
- A privilege I reserve
for myself.
You look lovely.
- Thank you.
- Hey, looks like our guys
are in the old Estevez estate.
It wasn't on our list.
You know, by the marina.
- Well, you'd better stay
with Cat.
Joanna was able to trace Zyker
back to a cruise ship
where he was connected to
a jewelry show.
- He could be the Raven himself.
- Well, we're tying
to check that out now.
- Don't waste too much time.
Cat's sitting
in the middle of all this.
I've always found Mexico
to be one of the more
relaxing places in the world.
Then, you've been here before.
- And you?
- I've pretty much settled in.
- So, you've been in
Puerto Vallarta for some time.
- Apparently you've been
asking questions about me.
I don't know whether
to be complimented or offended.
- Please take it as
a compliment.
You see, in my business,
security is an important factor,
especially when it comes
to beautiful women.
They always pose a threat.
- Which is more important
to you?
- Security, I'm afraid.
- Oh, then you probably keep
your valuables near to you,
probably right here.
- Is that what
interests you most?
For the moment.
- Please.
- Oh, they're beautiful.
Could I try one on?
- Of course.
- Oh.
- These are all classic pieces.
Is there anything else
you would like to know about me?
- Everything.
- And then, perhaps,
you will tell me a few things.
- Oh, it's a woman's privilege
to be secretive.
What would you like to know?
- Why is it
you were followed here?
Followed?
I don't understand.
- I think you do.
And I think you know
the young man.
- And I think this lunch
is becoming unpleasant.
- But we haven't even eaten yet,
and I had
a wonderful meal prepared.
- Well, I find it hard to stay
if you suspect me of something.
I'd like to leave.
- Oh.
If you insist.
I will call my driver for you.
- Thank you.
Move it!
I don't know.
It's alike, but different.
You can change your nose
and certain cosmetic looks,
but the length of the ears
remain the same.
So does the distance
between the eyes.
Match them up.
- It's not like fingerprints.
- No, but it is what was used
before fingerprints,
and it's all we have.
What do you think?
- I'm not sure.
- Then, I'll have to be.
I think Cat is with the Raven,
and we've got to warn her.
- Hey, take a message
for me, will you?
Gladly.
Yes?
- It's not Tommy.
Cover for him.
- Uh... where are you?
You were supposed to
pick me up at 5:00,
and I've been sitting
on the beach like a fool.
You did this to me before,
but you won't ever do this
to me again.
- You should have shown up
for your date, Tommy.
- I don't know
what to do with that.
Flip this off,
pull it away from yourself,
pull this, and yell.
- Why should I yell?
- Because the noise will scare
the blazes out of you.
- You're not the police,
or any legal authority...
or you would not be playing
this little game.
What is it you want, Tommy?
- Lunch.
Ahh!
- We came for your jewels.
- So, you're telling me
you're merely common thieves?
- Like you.
You stole the necklace.
So we came to steal it from you.
- That's too simple.
Would pain convince you
to be more thorough?
- It wouldn't change the truth.
You stole that necklace
from a man named Zyker,
and he was found dead.
- So now you're calling me
a murderer too.
- That's not my problem.
We only came for the jewels.
- Ah, I wish
I could believe you.
I might even admire
your attempt.
But my only real choice
is to kill you.
I think...
drowning would be appropriate.
The H.E.A.T. team
will be right back.
- We have someone
on the grounds, gentlemen.
Find him.
- Ahh!
- There can't be more
than three or four of them.
Go through the basement,
get around them.
Take them!
- "I will be back for
my necklace... the Raven."
Damn it, we lost him.
- Oh, we'll find him again.
- We won't have to.
All we gotta do is sit tight
and stay alert.
Raven's not gonna
let us keep the necklace.
- Does that mean
he'll be coming back for us?
What?
Next time on
"Acapulco H.E.A.T."...
There are over 100
bullet holes into this man.
- Tell me every contact
you have ever had
with this Acapulco H.E.A.T.
group.
- I am no stool pigeon...
but I take the money.
- Now I know there's a leak.
- You were set up.
- Good morning, Tommy.
You're under arrest.
- The first painting is gone,
and the H.E.A.T. group
has the necklace.
- I located
the history on the necklace.
- The Raven can come at us
from anywhere,
and you might not see it coming.
- I am not leaving here until
I learn what is going on.
Ahh!
- Next shot, you're a soprano!
"Acapulco H.E.A.T."...
- Nicole, my dear,
I need you to handle it.
- Nicole, you're a spy?
- They are no match
for the Raven!
- I need experienced help.
Ahh!
I want you in.
- I'm not in that business
any longer.
- Do you have the necklace?
- I've seen
this necklace before...
right here in Puerto Vallarta!
We only came for the jewels.
- I don't know what
to do with that.
- Then tell me what
you didn't tell the cops.
- It wouldn't be right.
- We have someone
on the grounds, gentlemen.
Find him.
- ♪ Oh can you feel it
♪ Burning inside, yeah
♪ Making it hazy
♪ Making me crazy
♪ I'm on the street
♪ I feel the heat
♪ I feel the motion
♪ Keep all my love alive
♪ Come to the ocean
♪ I'm on the street
♪ I feel the heat
- Aah!
- Unh!
- Aah!
- Aah!
Let's go! Let's go!
Come on, team, move!
Move now!
Everything!
Let's go!
Okay, we're outta here!
- No!
Ugh!
- Well, what do you think?
- I'd rather not at my age.
It might prove to be fatal.
- Oh, not you, Paul.
You're too French to ever
deny yourself that pleasure.
- Nicole, my darling,
please forget for a moment
that I am one
of your oldest friends.
Right now, I'm a representative
of the Minister of Culture.
This is Rudolf Serge
from the Russian embassy
and Senor Perez
who represents the liaison
between our countries.
May we speak to you in private,
please?
- Joanna is private.
She's like family,
and who knows my affairs.
- I don't mind leaving
if you want, Nicole.
I mean, if...
If it's none of my business,
then it's none of my business.
- I do mind.
- Well, gentlemen?
- As you wish.
I need you to find a man
and help recover
some valuable properties.
- I am no longer in the
international security business.
I sell clothes, not services.
This is foolishness.
We should go public
with the theft
and face the reality
of the situation
with our own security people.
- Do not let this woman's beauty
blind you
to her natural abilities.
She was one of the most
effective agents
this government ever had.
- Nicole, you were a spy?
- I'm afraid right now
that she is a bankrupt one.
My dear, I believe
you are in debt
for a total of 700,000 francs.
- Is that correct?
- Uh, do you want me to say?
Th-The real number would be
842,000 francs,
not counting current bills.
And then
there's our credit cards,
and they could melt
any minute now.
- Then I can help both of you.
I have a business,
an organization,
which will help
your needs and ours.
You will be paid
by individual contract.
- I already have a business.
- And I will save you from it.
- Um, would those fees cover
current losses
and certain expenses?
- Of course.
Who decides what's fair?
- I do.
- That will work out.
- Can we get to our purpose
or leave?
- Nicole, my dear,
I need you for a manhunt.
I want you to find and recover
six paintings.
They are masterpieces
that had been lost since
World War II.
We found them
before they could be
returned to their country
of origin.
They were stolen
in a bloody raid.
And, I need you...
to find the Raven.
These are the only photographs
available on this man,
but he has a history
of crimes throughout Europe.
His names and other
false identities
you will find in this file.
We believe he is European.
- The Raven...
I haven't heard of him in years.
Not since the assassinations
in England.
- Uh, does that mean
I'll be a spy also?
- Neither one of us
will be a spy.
- This is ridiculous.
They are no match for the Raven!
- I will expect a personal note
of apology from you.
What is the business you offer?
It was funded by
a group of countries called
the Coalition
to conduct anti-terrorist
covert activities.
It was disbanded, but certain of
its members and equipment
are in the part of
the country to which we believe
The Raven is now headed.
- They had a code name
I would have known.
- It was called
Acapulco H.E.A.T.
This item is an emerald
and diamond bracelet
set in white gold
with a total weight of over
nine ounce.
She's a beauty.
- You really think so, Zyker,
or is she just a featured choice
in a pressing time schedule?
- I think she'd hold her own
anywhere.
- No, not anywhere.
This jewelry show is a way
of traveling around
Latin America
and selling off the paintings.
It gives me an excuse
for security and men
with weapons.
If your actions interfere
with my business arrangements
in any way, you'll die.
I'm sure you understand that.
- I never doubted that
for a moment.
- You'll deliver one
of the items
in La Paz and collect the fee.
I shall continue the cruise
on to Puerto Vallarta
for the next few shows.
- Where do I find you?
- You don't.
I'll find you.
Until then, think of your bonus
and two other very important
things.
- What?
- Celibacy and a long life.
- ♪ Oh
More sensuous.
That's good, guys.
A little more energy, okay?
A little more energy.
Uh, Carlos, can you turn up
the music?
- ♪ Touch me
- We're not just selling
swimsuits here.
We're selling fantasy and glitz.
Now, think hot, think sexy.
Oh, that's great, guys.
Great.
- ♪ Talking 'bout now
- Oh, that's great, guys.
- ♪ I wanna touch your body
- Okay, go make
your last change.
We're almost done.
- Hi.
My name is Nicole Bernard.
I know who you are.
I'm here to offer you
the kind of work
you are far better suited for.
- That's a pretty strong
approach.
And what is it you think
I'm better suited for?
- A great many things.
I am the new owner
of Acapulco HEAT Fashions.
- I used to represent them.
They're a wonderful
organization, but it's over.
I do this now.
But, good luck.
- It doesn't have to be over.
I need experienced help,
and I'm ready to make you
a full partner.
Oh, I don't think so.
Acapulco H.E.A.T. was
a unique enterprise
made up of very special people.
Friends.
But they're almost all gone now.
- Not all.
And I think it's time
for you and I to make
new friends.
- I don't even know who you are.
Why would I want to return
to the fashion business
with you?
- Make some calls.
Start with your Mr. Smith
from the Coalition.
- He's retired.
- He'll take your call
and answer all your questions.
- I have a shoot to finish.
- I've done quite a few pictures
in my past professions.
You make the call,
I'll finish your shoot.
If I screw up, fire me.
- That's Tommy?
- Yeah, that's Tommy.
If he goes for it, I will too.
- He means that much to you?
- Oh, everyone
on H.E.A.T. did.
Tommy's the only one left
in Puerto Vallarta.
Everyone else is gone
and don't want to be found,
and I have to respect that.
- So will I.
What is he doing down there?
- I don't know,
but I have a feeling
it'll be worth waiting for.
Hey, hey, hey, hey.
- Hey, back off.
- He needs some help.
- No, it's okay.
It looks pretty even to me.
How are you in a fight?
- Yeah, I'm okay.
- Good, let's go.
- Ahh!
Let's get out of here!
Get out of here, guys!
Come on!
- When are you gonna shave
and take a shower?
- Well... I guess when I move
out of my truck,
buy some new shoes.
What are you doing
on my beach, Cat?
You look awful.
You said that three days ago.
- You looked awful
three days ago.
- Well, I'm consistent.
- Meet Nicole Bernard.
She is the new owner
of Acapulco H.E.A.T.
And she wants us back in.
Aw, to do what?
- I want you to do
what you did before.
- Well, I'm not in that business
any longer.
- I want you in.
- To do what?
The important jobs?
The big picture!
Heal the world!
I heard it all before.
Yeah, I believed.
- They said we were important!
That we were needed!
Till the purse strings just got
a little too tight.
And suddenly, we didn't mean
anything to anybody.
But I had a chance
to look around, you know,
while we were saving the world.
Where I live...
turned to crap!
Some of those people
we were fighting
used to be good kids.
And now, they wa-wait
for a connection.
You know, I see this stuff
in front of my face every day.
What do we do about that?
- Okay, I'll tell you what.
I'll take that trip with you
if you take mine.
- Oh, just like that, boom.
I'm supposed to believe you.
- I spoke to Mr. Smith.
- He vouched for her.
If she says it, she'll do it.
- Okay, well then, you join her.
- I am!
I didn't come here
for your permission.
I'm a part of the team,
and you could be too.
I want you in.
- Tell me... You tell me,
what are we supposed to do
when people can't afford us,
right?
We sit on top
of the mountain and get fat?
Do we look fat to you?
You know what I'm talking about.
- Then know what I mean.
I said what wewould do.
You have my word.
What else can I do?
- I guess you already have.
You've got a great leg there.
Thanks.
- Anyway,
the dealers will be back.
- Yeah, and I'll be here
to give 'em more grief.
- We'll all be back here.
- Okay.
Okay, I'm in.
- Shake a leg.
- I'm Joanna.
I think I've got it all working.
- I think you do too.
How did you do this so quickly?
- Oh, a couple of doojiggers,
and a whatchamacallit,
and then a crossover with some
of those things
with the prongs on it.
And they all do something
or other,
and then, da-daa, it all works.
It was almost a no-brainer.
- Joanna is an electronic
and data processing genius.
She can do anything with
a computer or wires,
and anything she can wrap
a tool around.
- Oh, yeah, like doojiggers
and whatchamacallits.
Hey, can you fix a toaster?
- I can make it play stereo.
- She can never explain
how she does it,
but she can make anything work.
- Is she any good in the field?
- She's not trained
or equipped for that,
but she's an important member
of the new H.E.A.T. team.
Hi.
So, do you always dress
like that?
- No, I've got better things.
These are just work clothes.
Well, so are these.
But, we'll talk later.
Is that our target?
That and millions
of dollars worth
of Old World art masterpieces.
Six of them.
The face is called the Raven.
He has no other labels.
- I have all the data
cross-checked
with all the possible routes
of travel
and all that stuff.
I also listed available
underground markets for the art.
It sort of adds up
to what we were told.
- Which is?
- European ports
were sealed off.
The only escape route leads
to Mexico
and to South America.
- Which means the Raven
is headed in our direction.
- "Acapulco H.E.A.T."
- will be right back.
- I never thought I'd see
this sign again.
- It's only wood, Cat.
Don't get so sentimental.
- Well, it's gonna look
fantastic
when the building's finished.
Oh, you guys are all cynics.
- I'm not!
I think this is all great.
We also have a shipment
to unpack.
It looks terrific!
- What are you wearing
underneath that...
canvas shroud?
- I don't understand.
- Jockey or boxers?
- Oh... that.
I have underwear on.
- Good.
Now, I want you to stay calm.
- You don't have to do that.
You know,
I have some real short sleeves.
All right!
- I didn't know
the doorbell was broken.
- I'll have it checked
on my way out.
I hope all went well in La Paz.
- I followed orders.
- Not completely.
- Hey, I never failed you.
You know you can trust me.
- Do not presume
to know me that well.
We've been associated
for less than one year,
and although successful...
Until now...
That does not give you the power
to make decisions for yourself.
Do you have the necklace?
It seems at least
that part went smoothly.
- Well, the painting
is now hanging
in Senor Diaz's sub-basement.
He was very happy with
his million-dollar trade.
- You did fine up to that point.
But then you chose
to celebrate with the company
of a very different
professional.
- The deal was complete.
I had no idea how long
it would be before
you guys would show up.
- That makes no difference.
You were to wait.
You jeopardized
the whole operation
by letting your loins take
the place of your brain.
- I still did my job first.
- And you will still receive
your bonus.
That money is yours, gentlemen.
Let's just say that Zyker
has left it to you in his will.
- You...
- Clean it up.
- I was able to access
all the passenger lists
from the airlines
and tourist cards
from the government office.
I tapped into hotel reservations
and villa rentals.
I cross-checked the whole batch.
- Good, but tourists move
in and out every day.
Are we gonna be able
to keep up with that?
- No, but somehow
this computer program can.
The longer the Raven stays
in Puerto Vallarta,
the better chance
we have of finding him.
- Are you saying
all we have to do is wait?
- I have some locations
to check,
some of the villas
that were rented
on a long-term basis.
- It's a start.
The oldest piece
in this collection dates back
to the early 1930s
and comes to us from Spain.
Pure art deco, it is true
to the style
of the casa nadas
with good taste.
It is valued at over $1 million.
Senorita, please, do not touch.
- Well, if it's for sale,
I should have the right
to examine it.
The lady is absolutely right.
My name is Ramon Valdez.
These jewels are mine.
You are free to examine them
as you wish,
but they are not for sale.
- You don't appear to be someone
who lives off of charity.
- Nor do you.
Senorita.
Senora?
- Miss.
My name is Cat.
I operate a small shop
at the Marriott Hotel.
This item look like
it was made in Italy.
- Actually, it was Spain.
I bought it at an estate auction
for much more than it was worth.
I'm a great admirer
of beautiful things.
Would you care to see
some more of my collection?
- I'd like more than that.
I'd like you to give your show
at my hotel.
Of course, there would be
a small commission of any sales.
- There are no sales.
These shows are only to see
if there is a market
for these items
in this resort area.
Would you care to join me
for a late lunch?
Perhaps, further discuss
business arrangements.
- Business?
- Of course.
Among other things.
May I send a car for you?
3:30 would be fine.
My card.
- Check her out.
Oh, no! Let's see.
- I don't know.
- Oh!
Oh, I was just... Oh, my God!
Joanna, get in touch
with Nicole.
We just found one of the people
on the list...
DOA on a beach, floating,
south of town.
Yeah, he was shot.
I think we got our first scent.
- His tourist card says
he is Philip Zyker, Canadian.
But it shows no passport
in that name.
- How did he arrive?
- Well, he flew in from La Paz,
but I don't know how
he got there in the first place.
- Well, he fits the age
and general description
of the Raven.
- The hairline and eye color
can be adjusted,
but the cheekbones and the ears
do not look like a match.
- Yeah but that's if the picture
of the Raven is untouched.
I mean, it could be him.
What did his fingerprints show?
- Nothing.
No record.
- Come on, everybody's got
some kind of record.
- Okay.
But I still can't find it.
Where do we go from here?
- Sure do have a way
of cuttin' through it,
don't you, Joanna?
- What do you mean?
- Not important right now.
We know he was a guest
at the Bel-Air Hotel.
Anybody have a contact there
that might help us?
- Yeah! Tommy's well-known
at the poolside bar there.
- Uh, used to be.
- Ha!
- I'm reformed.
- What were you before?
- Perfect.
Could I say something?
I really have to.
This Raven, I knew that
he was a thief
and a killer
when I joined the group.
And... And I wanted
to be a part of it.
I still do.
It's just that I've never been
this close
to a real murder before.
- If you want out,
I'll understand.
I mean, we forget,
we're not part of the norm,
and this is what we do.
- Oh, no, no.
That's not it.
It's just that I was never
very good at doing most things.
I mean, I was an okay
but not great student.
I went to Paris to be an artist.
I was okay, but not that good.
- We're not complaining.
- I am!
I want to be better than okay.
I want to be more
than office help.
I want to work with all of you.
- It could be very dangerous.
You will have to learn
a lot more about investigations,
weapons.
There's a lot more to it.
- I want to try.
I want to be really good
at something
besides fixing things
and not knowing
how I made them work.
I know I can do it.
- Yeah.
Yeah, me too.
Let's adopt her.
- Just don't call me
"Uncle Tommy."
Okay?
So, you come with me
for lesson number one.
- Come on, Tommy.
Call me Joe, man.
Everybody in Mexico
is called Jose.
I speak English.
I went to high school.
I make money.
I am a Joe.
- I like the way that Jose
rolls off my lips.
- Yeah, well, ain't nothing
rolling off these lips
till we reach
a little agreement.
- Okay, Joe, "joo" tell me...
about the dead guy.
- He didn't want no perks.
One bedroom, Jacuzzi, a bar.
He was an okay tipper,
no big deal.
Checked in yesterday.
He got killed.
Now there is a school principal
and a student in the suite.
They don't leave the room.
- No, no, no, see,
that is what you told the cops.
What I want is what you remember
for special friends.
- Ah, I'm a righteous citizen?
- Oh, yeah, of course you are.
That's why you're not
in jail, right?
Now, tell me what
you didn't tell the cops.
- And it wouldn't be right.
- No. But it could be very...
profitable.
- You know, the exchange rate
isn't what it used to be.
- He had a visitor the night
before he... checked out.
- What'd he look like?
- He was a she.
Mr. Zyker
wanted some company
and I made arrangements for it.
- Oh.
You do things like that?
- Only on a very exclusive
basis, okay?
- And... And do you charge
for doing that?
- She for real?
- Look...
where do I find the lady?
- You don't.
I do.
- You are a very conniving
and dishonest man, Jose.
Joe.
You made a deal,
and... and we paid.
Now, a deal is a deal,
so either tell us
or tell the police.
And I think we would look
much more kindly towards your...
occupation than they would.
- Well, now you know
she's for real.
Well, when I left he was okay.
He was a lot of fun.
He sold jewelry, or made it,
or something.
And he showed me
this beautiful necklace.
It must have been worth
a fortune.
- There was nothing
like that found in his room.
Could it have been stolen?
- Certainly not by me!
I gave him his money's worth.
- Oh, I'm sorry.
I didn't mean you.
I'm... I'm sure that...
you were more than...
more than fair.
- Somebody already asked.
She's definitely for real.
- You know what?
You put her in
a cheerleader's costume
and she could make
a lot of money.
- Look, if you can describe
the necklace,
Joanna here can make
a sketch of it.
- I will never forget it.
It was beautiful.
- I've seen this necklace
before...
right here in Puerto Vallarta!
We are getting closer
to the Raven.
- Stay tuned, the H.E.A.T.
- team will be back in a moment.
- You said you'd send a car.
I didn't think
you'd do it yourself.
- A privilege I reserve
for myself.
You look lovely.
- Thank you.
- Hey, looks like our guys
are in the old Estevez estate.
It wasn't on our list.
You know, by the marina.
- Well, you'd better stay
with Cat.
Joanna was able to trace Zyker
back to a cruise ship
where he was connected to
a jewelry show.
- He could be the Raven himself.
- Well, we're tying
to check that out now.
- Don't waste too much time.
Cat's sitting
in the middle of all this.
I've always found Mexico
to be one of the more
relaxing places in the world.
Then, you've been here before.
- And you?
- I've pretty much settled in.
- So, you've been in
Puerto Vallarta for some time.
- Apparently you've been
asking questions about me.
I don't know whether
to be complimented or offended.
- Please take it as
a compliment.
You see, in my business,
security is an important factor,
especially when it comes
to beautiful women.
They always pose a threat.
- Which is more important
to you?
- Security, I'm afraid.
- Oh, then you probably keep
your valuables near to you,
probably right here.
- Is that what
interests you most?
For the moment.
- Please.
- Oh, they're beautiful.
Could I try one on?
- Of course.
- Oh.
- These are all classic pieces.
Is there anything else
you would like to know about me?
- Everything.
- And then, perhaps,
you will tell me a few things.
- Oh, it's a woman's privilege
to be secretive.
What would you like to know?
- Why is it
you were followed here?
Followed?
I don't understand.
- I think you do.
And I think you know
the young man.
- And I think this lunch
is becoming unpleasant.
- But we haven't even eaten yet,
and I had
a wonderful meal prepared.
- Well, I find it hard to stay
if you suspect me of something.
I'd like to leave.
- Oh.
If you insist.
I will call my driver for you.
- Thank you.
Move it!
I don't know.
It's alike, but different.
You can change your nose
and certain cosmetic looks,
but the length of the ears
remain the same.
So does the distance
between the eyes.
Match them up.
- It's not like fingerprints.
- No, but it is what was used
before fingerprints,
and it's all we have.
What do you think?
- I'm not sure.
- Then, I'll have to be.
I think Cat is with the Raven,
and we've got to warn her.
- Hey, take a message
for me, will you?
Gladly.
Yes?
- It's not Tommy.
Cover for him.
- Uh... where are you?
You were supposed to
pick me up at 5:00,
and I've been sitting
on the beach like a fool.
You did this to me before,
but you won't ever do this
to me again.
- You should have shown up
for your date, Tommy.
- I don't know
what to do with that.
Flip this off,
pull it away from yourself,
pull this, and yell.
- Why should I yell?
- Because the noise will scare
the blazes out of you.
- You're not the police,
or any legal authority...
or you would not be playing
this little game.
What is it you want, Tommy?
- Lunch.
Ahh!
- We came for your jewels.
- So, you're telling me
you're merely common thieves?
- Like you.
You stole the necklace.
So we came to steal it from you.
- That's too simple.
Would pain convince you
to be more thorough?
- It wouldn't change the truth.
You stole that necklace
from a man named Zyker,
and he was found dead.
- So now you're calling me
a murderer too.
- That's not my problem.
We only came for the jewels.
- Ah, I wish
I could believe you.
I might even admire
your attempt.
But my only real choice
is to kill you.
I think...
drowning would be appropriate.
The H.E.A.T. team
will be right back.
- We have someone
on the grounds, gentlemen.
Find him.
- Ahh!
- There can't be more
than three or four of them.
Go through the basement,
get around them.
Take them!
- "I will be back for
my necklace... the Raven."
Damn it, we lost him.
- Oh, we'll find him again.
- We won't have to.
All we gotta do is sit tight
and stay alert.
Raven's not gonna
let us keep the necklace.
- Does that mean
he'll be coming back for us?
What?
Next time on
"Acapulco H.E.A.T."...
There are over 100
bullet holes into this man.
- Tell me every contact
you have ever had
with this Acapulco H.E.A.T.
group.
- I am no stool pigeon...
but I take the money.
- Now I know there's a leak.
- You were set up.
- Good morning, Tommy.
You're under arrest.
- The first painting is gone,
and the H.E.A.T. group
has the necklace.
- I located
the history on the necklace.
- The Raven can come at us
from anywhere,
and you might not see it coming.
- I am not leaving here until
I learn what is going on.
Ahh!
- Next shot, you're a soprano!
