Going through one of Jack's romantic contacts, Sarah Billings (Sara Botsford), Terry is rebuffed and then captured by the KGB, who lock her in a phone booth and drag her around the city.Īfter escaping when the booth is knocked over, Terry is injected with truth serum by the computer tech, this time posing as a police officer, but escapes after trapping his arm in a car window and rolling the car into traffic. He then tells Terry to "get off the stage before she gets carried off".
As Terry leaves, she is approached by Archer Lincoln, who informs her that Liz and the children have been relocated and given new identities by the CIA. Terry quickly goes to Liz's house for help, only to find her and her children gone and the house deserted. Conning her way in under the guise of an entertainer, she manages to enter the mainframe with help from Liz, who is also there, but Talbot finds and deactivates the computer link before Jack receives a contact.
Jack then tells her how to break into the British Consulate central computer. When Terry tells him about her meeting with Liz and Lincoln later that night, they both deduce that Harry has been killed. Liz invites Terry back to her home and gives her some information about Jack and her husband, who she assumes is still with Jack. Terry tries to talk to Lincoln, but he leaves before she can.
The police dismiss Terry's claim of the murder and Marty comes to the station and takes her home.Īfter finding a listing in the local obituaries, Terry goes to Van Meter's funeral, where she meets Liz Carlson (Annie Potts), the wife of Harry Carlson, one of Jack's contacts and another of his contacts, Archer Lincoln (Roscoe Lee Browne). After being stunned to realize Terry is a civilian and has no relationship at all with the intelligence community, Van Meter notices they are being watched and pushes Terry off the docks and into the East River to save her life, but is shot and killed himself. Using the contacts on the frying pan, Terry attempts unsuccessfully to contact Peter Caen, but does reach Mark Van Meter (Jeroen Krabbé), who meets her at the docks. His plan to abduct her fails when she knocks him out with the frying pan and flees the cab. As she enters the taxi upon leaving Jack's apartment, she is frightened to find him as the driver. Meanwhile, Marty Phillips (Stephen Collins) arrives at First National Bank as a new coworker and, unbeknownst to her, Terry is being watched.Ī computer technician (Jim Belushi) shows up at the bank to repair her terminal, but when Terry calls Sperry Corporation to confirm his identity, the technician vanishes. Jack then asks her to enter his apartment in New York to retrieve a frying pan, on which are Jack's CIA contacts to acquire a passport. Jack sends her to the British Consulate to deliver the message "Dog's barking, can't fly without umbrella" to Department C.ĭespite feeling ludicrous, Terry delivers the message to Jeremy Talbot (John Wood) who is apparently puzzled and informs her there is no Department C.
Set against the backdrop of the pre-Glasnost Cold War, Terry receives the message, "Knock, Knock," and is contacted by a man calling himself "Jumpin' Jack Flash" who turns out to be a British Intelligence agent in Eastern Europe who is being pursued by the KGB.Īfter being given a riddle for his password, Terry determines the password to be B-flat, after the key in which "Jumpin' Jack Flash" is supposedly written (as the actual song by the Rolling Stones is recorded in the key of B-flat). She is often chastised by her no-nonsense boss James Page (Peter Michael Goetz).
She does not quite fit with the bank's corporate image, despite being a good employee and well-liked by her co-workers. Teresa "Terry" Doolittle (Whoopi Goldberg) transfers funds for the First National Bank in Manhattan, New York. Spoiler warning: The following contains plot details about
