sent the crib blanket.

Frank sent

the Fisher-Price barnyard.

You sent that?

Do you know those

little cows really moo?

Jeff always plays with it

day and night.

I'd like you

to consider something.

-The answer is no.

-You haven't heard the question.

The answer is still no.

Whatever you want,

we're not interested.

We're off

the field assignment list.

Maternity leave.

You gave us a very nice party.

You said if we were in

a critical situation--

Not during

the first 18 months.

The books all show the first

18 months are essential--

Jesus.

-Tactical nuke?

-C-22.

-We are not interested.

-''C'' what?

Experimental

plastic explosive...

the most powerful plastic

ever developed.

So unstable even the Army

won't use it.

That C-22.

I thought

they stopped making it.

They did.

The remaining stock was stolen.

-Sell it to someone else.

-Please.

FBI thinks

it's organized crime.

FBI thinks everything's

organized crime.

We think it's Novacek.

Novacek?

We're incredibly not interested.

She hates me.

Remember Budapest?

You said

you'd help out a little.

Novacek is not a little.

She's a psycho.

Novacek's customers

make their points...

by blowing up innocent people,

including children.

That's a low blow.

Just find her.

We'll do the rest.

You get six months paid leave

when you finish.

That ought to help

the postnatal bonding.

Uh-uh. Just going to have

to find somebody else.

We'll throw in a bonus.

20% of annual pay.

I made a solemn promise

to Jane--

-Fifty percent.

-Don't push it.

I'm a mother now.

Know what a decent college

will cost in 20 years?

Thirty. I'm already

way over budget.

Fifty, going once.

You mercenary thing, you.

Going twice.

I want a low-profile operation.

You want low-profile,

you got low-profile.

-We'll need the usual toys.

-They're on the way.

You got one lead--

this guy Foster.

He works at Dynagon.

They developed C-22.

-Can you say plastic explosive?

-Pay attention.

I'm paying attention.

Go on.

Novacek's base

is somewhere in the delta.

She's got her people spotted

in local defence industries...

even the military.

More good news.

Near as we can tell,

she bribed a full colonel...

into stealing the last batch

of C-22 canisters.

He got spooked

and used one getting away.

Blew up half of Oklahoma.

Be careful, guys.

Novacek's more dangerous

than she looks.

Colonel!

How happy I am to see you.

You're limping.

Did you have some problems?

-Nothing I couldn't handle.

-What happened?

There was a last-minute change

in checkpoint security.

-What?

-There's one missing.

-Missing?

-That's what I'm saying.

They were bringing in

tanks and artillery.
