- This is the finest
government villa.

I demanded the best
for your visit.

- Welcome to Puerto Vallarta.

Señor del Fuego,
Señora del Fuego.

It's an honor
to have you visit our city.

- This way.

Let's go, go, go!

- Did you get it?

- Señor del Fuego,
are you all right?

- Yes, yes, I'm all right.

It's my dear Celia
that I'm worried about.

- I too am fine, Edmundo.

Let us go to our suite.

- Right this way.

- I want around
the clock security

for Señor del Fuego
and his wife.

And find me those men.

They took my wallet.

- Señor,
there's nothing to fear.

The danger is over.

No, I don't get it.

I mean, how can we be broke?

We made mucho bucks
on that last job.

- Deduct expenses

and split it four ways.

- What's it add up to?

- About a week of good living.

- Either that or a dental bill.

I need a filling.

- Why don't you
go to the dentist?

You've been stalling for days.

- I said I'm going
and I'm going.

Stop hassling me.

- Try Dr. Escobar.

- No.
- He's good.

- No, no-no-no.

He's a puller not a filler.

Besides, maybe it'll go away.

- Remind me to buy
some more cologne.

The odors here
bother my sinuses.

- Bingo.

- Perfect.

Once you copy those passes,

we'll be able
to get through any security.

- I wonder what's keeping
Joanna?

I mean, she's usually the first
one to be at the table.

- And the last to leave.

God, I envy her.

She wolfs down everything
in sight.

- And she never gains weight.

- Have you noticed her left leg?

- Yeah, I noticed both.

- Well, I think the left
one's hollow.

I can't eat anyway, my tooth.

- Put some tequila on it.

- You think that'll help?

- Yeah, it takes about a quart.

- Then my whole head will hurt.

- Look, I'll go check on Joanna.

You guys order,
I'll shake her loose.

- Hello.

You again, huh?

Call out the men
in the white coats.

She's talking to a glass screen.

- Ha.
I wish I could talk to it.

Then maybe I'd find out

what this goobly-gook
is all about.

What do you make of it?

- Huh... goobly-gook's
about right.

Why?

- Well, about three hours ago,

I was online with
this kid in London.

When suddenly this shows up.

Neither one of us can figure out

where it came from
or who the sender is,

but it's been showing up
at ten-minute intervals.

It's driving me nuts.
- How could that happen?

I mean, did you get a virus
in your computer?

- No biggie.

When the sender
was uploading the file,

he must've put the wrong email
address on it.

Not hard to do, I mean, one
incorrect letter and zappo.

Santa Claus gets an Easter list.

Here, why don't you take
a crack at decoding.

Me?

What do I know about breaking.

I get it, I get it.

- Anybody hungry?

- Oh, hi, guys.

Ooh, food, I'm starving.

- So would we be if we had
waited for you

to join us for lunch.

- Oh, hey, I'm sorry, guys,
I completely forgot.

I mean, ask Tommy, I got all
involved here and...

How can you eat
with a toothache?

- Feels better when I'm chewing.

I know, that sounds crazy
but, uh...

Damn.

- What?

- Ah, I thought I had this
but... false alarm.

- What?
- This.

It's a code.

- What makes you think
it's a code?

- Can you speak goobly-gook?

- No.

- Then it's a code.

It keeps interrupting
whatever is on the screen.

You know, like
it's doing it's own thing.

- Which is more
than we are doing.

Instead of playing
computer games,

we should use our
brains to earn money.

- Good idea.

See you later.

Hey, I think better
when I'm alone.

- Ants,
they're all over the place.

- But you're bigger than them.

Kill them!

God!

- Save your humor for someone
who appreciates it.

Don't take too long.

By the time you're finished,

Mace and I will have made
two more champagne cocktails.

- Okay, so you're smart.

But I'm stubborn.

That makes us equal.

And even if you are nothing
more than Jose's recipe

for pineapple frijoles,
I'm gonna find out.

This... means... war.

- Hey, I've seen worse.
- Oh.

- Do you wanna
see the doctor or not?

- Uh, him?

- Yeah, he's a real doctor.
Come on, get in the chair.

- Well, I...
- We'll check you out.

Get in the chair.

- I, uh...

Look, it's only one tooth.

It won't take the both of you.

- I need to translate.

- Well, I think I can make him
understand when it hurts me.

Pain is bilingual.

- How are you gonna
pay for this?

- How much does it cost to put
a napkin around my neck?

- Very funny.

I mean for the extraction.

- Who says I need
to have the tooth pulled?

I mean, maybe
it's just a filling.

- Well, we rarely do that.

- Well, let him look first.

- Well, it's 50 pesos
for looking.

- Ow!
- Ha.

- See, he understood
that real well.

- You're scared.

- Damn right, I am.

- What is wrong
with this picture?

- No doubt you're gonna tell me.

- Well, I'd be negligent
to my sworn duty

as a bartender if I didn't.

You're an interesting guy.

You've got two drop-dead
gorgeous women and a trainee.

Yet, you sit here
drinking alone.

Now me...

- You'd be with one of 'em.

- Or all if I could swing it.

Is that a pun or what?

- Too much.

No, I don't mix
business with pleasure.

- To each his own.

Want another?

- Yeah, sure, why not?

- Well, what are you doing here?

- Joanna called.

She's found a way
to crack the code.

- Well, can I wait for my drink?

- No.

Come on.

- I wish I could claim credit
for this, but the truth is,

I was trying to change files
and I hit a key by mistake.

And suddenly, blip.

Everything started
to make sense.

I figured what the heck.

So, I hit the same wrong key
again...

And this time the letters
reversed and...

Gotcha.

These guys wanna kidnap
Señor de Fuego's wife

and swap her
for imprisoned terrorists.

- I think we bought into
more than we figured.

- "Need trade bait for six.

Use Celia del Fuego."

Before I respond
to this message,

exactly who are you people and
who are the six they refer to?

- They are members of the
terrorist organization

known as the July 12 Movement.

Now they're responsible
for the kidnapping

of a Peruvian diplomat
two years ago.

- There was also the crash of
that Brazilian airliner

last August for which
their six members

were captured
and sentenced to death.

- Now it seems they wanna swap
your wife for their release.

- I'd never agree to that.

You still haven't
told me who you are

or why I should believe you.

- We used to be part of a
government anti-terrorist team.

Now we work for ourselves.

- You can hire us
to keep her safe.

- No, no, no, that's too risky.

We will send my wife home
immediately.

- We will see to it
that she gets

all the protection she needs.

But if you want to find these
terrorists, she has to stay.

- Are you suggesting
that Señor del Fuego

should bend to this group?

- What I am suggesting
is we trap them here and now

while they don't know
that we're on to them.

That gives us an edge.

- Look, we can keep
your wife safe

until the terrorists are caught.

Now Cat can take her place
till we come up with a plan.

- How much is this plan?

- You'll learn what we're worth.

- My wife means
everything to me.

Is that clear?

Then I'd like to hear how
you intend to do this.

- What do you think?

- Remarkable.

It is like looking
at myself in the mirror.

- If she had a toothache,
it would be perfect.

- Thanks for reminding me.

You know, I think it's getting
better though.

- Okay, now let's pick out some
clothes to complete the effect.

♪ When you see her eyes

♪ You can't disguise

♪ The feelings in your heart

♪ She's a breeze

♪ She's a rainbow

♪ She's a child

♪ She's a warrior

♪ She's a woman

♪ Can't you see

♪ She's a woman

♪ To me

♪ She hides behind

♪ Such a perfect smile

♪ It's hard to keep your place

♪ You may be strong

♪ But before too long

♪ You're tied up in her lace

♪ She's a breeze

♪ She's a rainbow

♪ She's a child

♪ She's a warrior

♪ She's a woman

♪ She's a woman

♪ To me

♪ Oh she's a woman

♪ She's just a woman

♪ She's a woman to me

♪ Can't you see her smile?

- Yo.

Hey, how's it going?

- I'll be ready.

- Well, I never doubted it.

- How's it going your end?

- We are as ready
as we'll ever be.

- We just called to tell you
how much we miss you!

Not me, with you gone,
there's food left over.

- Oh, yeah?

Well, I have a chef here.

- The World Bank has already
agreed to fund the hydro project

with a loan of $200 million.

- It's wonderful.

That means several
thousand new jobs.

- Ah, good news, I hope.

- We're ready when you are, sir.

- Excellent.

Colonel Tapier.

We can go ahead with
the reception as scheduled.

- Thank you.

- Please, give this to Celia

and tell her that my life
is very, very...

- Perhaps...

Perhaps you should
tell her yourself, sir.

- Sorry.

It's the only way we'll
feel confident

that the Señora is safe.

- It's also the only way we'll
agree to stay on the case.

- I understand, so long as Celia
isn't in any danger.

- She's not, sir, trust me.

Tomorrow morning when you and
Cat arrive at the hotel,

I'll go straight
to the safe house

and remain with Señora del Fuego
till after the banquet.

- Thank you.

- I'm not paying you
to make up excuses.

I'm paying you to find out where
Señora del Fuego is hiding.

You have jeopardized
our entire operation.

Now we have to wait until
she gets back to Rio before...

You do?

How?

When?

Very well.

But I warn you.

If this does not work,

Mace will cut out your heart.

Let's do it.

Cat, that is you, isn't it?

- No, it's Evita.

- Well, I just didn't recognize
you without the ice bag.

- Very funny.

It is a pleasure
to see you again.

- Welcome to the Bel Air,
Señora.

Will you please follow me?

- Ahh!

- I don't get it.

If a terrorist wanted to kidnap
Cat, I mean, Celia,

why did they just try
to run her down?

- Well, maybe
they changed their plans.

Either that or that coded
message was a trick

to make everyone think
that kidnapping was the plan.

- "Acapulco H.E.A.T."
- will be right back.

- Oh, oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

Here, it's okay, it's washable.

- I'll do that.

Those other people
need some more champagne.

- Okay, I'll get right on it.
- I'm so sorry.

- Hope they're waterproof.

- Relax, you're too nervous.

Just breathe.

You'll be fine.

- Ladies and gentlemen,

if I may have your attention.

This afternoon is a very
special occasion.

We have as our guest
some of South America's

most distinguished
economic statesmen.

Please, let's welcome them.

I will now ask Señor del Fuego
to describe the goals

of our newly formed coalition.

- It is with great honor

that I stand here
before you today.

As you know, we are a coalition of diverse

but still developing nations.

We have energy, pride
and a zest for hard work...

- It is the first time
I have not been by his side

since he was appointed trade
secretary seven years ago.

- And I believe that we have...

- That's quite a...
that's quite a record.

- He's quite a man.

- Well, you're a team,
you know, in the...

truest sense of the word.

- It is very rare
when two people...

Well, we are blessed.

And you, Tommy, do you have
someone to share your love with?

- Well...

On occasion.

- Did you see anything
suspicious?

- Unh-unh.

Do you really think they're
gonna try to kidnap Cat

in front of all these people?

- They're going to try kidnap
Celia del Fuego.

- Well, Cat is Celia.

- Exactly.
- Oh.

- Went without a hitch.

Except for this... thing,

it fits me like a sack.

It hurts my skin.

- Take one, amigo.

They'll never miss it upstairs.

Drink it with your girlfriend.

Maybe you'll get lucky.

Sign here.

Maybe we should wait until
we hear the corks pop.

- How about I buy
you a drink later?

- In your dreams.

- Under the podium.

- If you'll excuse me
for a moment, take care.

- Get down!

- The Lobby!

- Me?

- The Lobby!

- Are you okay?

- Oh, I think so, yes.

- What happened?

- Ah, two men in, uh,
two men in ski masks.

They grabbed me as I came out
of the men's room.

- What'd they want?
- They said they would kill me

if I didn't tell me where
Señora del Fuego was hidden.

- What did you tell them?

- That I didn't know
where she was.

- Then what?

- They didn't believe me.

One of them was going to shoot
me when, uh, oh...

When, uh, suddenly,
a third man ran up and said

he knew where the Señora
was hidden.

- Impossible.

- Are you sure
that's what they said?

- Hmm, that's when they hit me
and, uh, you found me, I, I...

- Paco, Paco,
don't talk anymore.

Go get a doctor.

- Yes.

- Tommy, Nicole.

- What went wrong?

- A bomb went wrong.

You've been spotted.

The black hats
know where you are.

- How many?

- Ah, maybe... three, four?

Joanna and I are on our way.

- Okay, well,
what about Señor del Fuego?

- He's fine.

Cat is going to stay with him.

We'll see you soon.

Let's go.

- I'm going with you.

- Out of the question.

Guys, get going.

Look, nothing's going to happen
to your wife.

- Can you handle a gun?

- Uh, yes.
- Okay.

Take this.

Go upstairs,
lock yourself in the bedroom,

and don't open the door
for anybody.

- Where will you be?

- Just making sure nobody
disturbs you.

Go on, go on.

- Stay here.

- Uh, ah, come on, Nicole.

- Joanna, I said, stay here.

- Hey, you made good time.

- Any sign of them?
- Not yet.

- That's strange,
as I said that...

- Good afternoon, everyone.

If you'd be so kind
as to drop your weapons.

Now.

The H.E.A.T. team
will be right back.

- How'd you find us?

- Your lovely ladies
led us right here.

That's a lie!

We kept checking to make sure
no one was tailing us.

- Yeah, but you didn't check
under your car, did you?

Beep, beep, beep.

- Don't you wish you'd agreed
to have that drink with me?

- Obviously, it's too late now.

Hey.

- Stop it, it's worth it!

- Good thing you called.

Looks like I arrived
just in time.

- You.

- Don't you just love surprises?

- Slime ball, pig, terrorist!

Hey!

- It worked.

Now, where is Señora del Fuego?

- Come on.

You don't think we're so stupid
enough to hide her here, do you?

Now do you believe us?

- I guess you are stupid enough
to hide her here.

- So, the worm has turned.

- Surprised?

- A man who sells his soul
always surprises me.

But when I looked out that
window and heard your voice...

It fitted the picture
I always had of you.

A piece of rubbish.

Trying to succeed by clinging
to my husband's coat tails.

- I don't think
the lady likes you, Paco.

Tie them up and take
them to the marina.

- Please don't kill me.

- Give me one reason not to.

- Nicole, don't!

- That's two reasons.

- Really, we have
no time for this.

- We have time
for whatever I want.

You wait here and get undressed.

- Come on, dammit, one of you
pick up the phone.

- Admit it, something's wrong.

- Look, it's not like Houston
yakking with the space shuttle.

These things go out sometimes.

- Enough incompetence.

I insist you take me
to my wife now.

- What's this, my dear?

Change your mind?

- I'm sorry, I cannot do it.

- How disappointing.

Shame on you.

Did you really think
I would fall

for your clumsy
attempt to seduce me?

Get up!
We're leaving.

- She's gone.

They're all gone!

- Someone tried
to leave us a message.

- What difference
does it make now?

You said I could trust you.

You said no harm
would come to my wife.

- I'm so sorry, Señor del Fuego.

Wait, who are you calling?

- Colonel Tapier,
it is out of your hands now.

Way to go, Nicole.

- Are you sure
my wife's in there?

- The tracker says yes.

Before you bust in
and start shooting,

let me go take a look around.

- That's out of the question.

- Your way could sign
Celia's death warrant.

Do you wanna risk that?

- Signal me if you see
the Señora.

- Will do.

- Men!

Surround the place!

Do not open fire
until I say the word!

- Unh.

Phew.

- Don't try to stall me!

Well, tell Senator Fuego
that if he's not available

next time I call,
I'm gonna cut off

one of his wife's fingers
and send it to him!

- I can see them.

I can see Celia, Tommy, Nicole
and Joanna, they're tied up.

I'll get back to you.
- You'd better pray your
precious husband

gets the message.

- Ooh.

- Next time he calls tell him

you have located
Señor del Fuego.

Then patch it through to me.

One of the terrorists tried
to reach you at the villa.

Hopefully,
before he tries again,

we will have them
all in custody.

- What's that smell?

- Bug spray.

- No, no, I don't mean that.

Anyone smell something burning?

- Come on.

- Move it! Go!

- Thank God
you found my message.

- What message?

- Oh, you would.

- Are you alone?

- Cops are outside.

- They're free!

- Colonel, send in the cavalry.

- Go ahead, men, fire at will!

- We have got
to get our weapons.

The H.E.A.T team
will be right back.

- What do you have
against stairs?

- They're boring.

I refuse to be bored anymore.

- Are you saying that you're
bored with us?

- No, you're like a different
kind of excitement.

You're like relatives.

- He's talking romance.

He just doesn't know
how to say it.

- Forget it, I can't have a
serious discussion with you two.

You're always
into putting me on.

Where's Cat?

- At the dentist,
Dr. Escobar.

- Wait, isn't he the, uh,
the puller?

- For Cat, he became a filler.

And he takes credit.

- These were delivered to the
boutique for Tommy.

Something we should know about?

- Surprised me too,
so don't break my chops, huh.
- Huh.

Open it, Tommy.

- Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Hey, play it, play it.

- I regret the fact that I had
to leave Puerto Vallarta

before I could
speak to all of you.

Edmundo and I could never
thank you enough

forall that you have done.

If you open the envelope,

you will find a check.

It is only a small act
of our appreciation.

But we hope you will
find it adequate.

- Ooh, it certainly is.

- And Tommy,

I hope you will find that one
special woman.

- Special woman?
What special woman?

Yeah, Tommy,

what's Celia talking about?

- Nothing.

Nothing, hey,
hey, did he pull it?

- Do I look like a woman
with a missing tooth?

- You look like a woman
with everything in place.

- Well, thank you, Tommy.

That and a few extra.

- Extra what?

- Well, I ate my way out of pain
and gained four pounds.

Doesn't hurt anymore,
but now I'm hooked on food.

- So what now?

- Well, so now that I can chew,
I gotta quit eating.

Crazy, huh?
