| Plot: | Roy Parmenter is an FBI agent in San Diego; 20 years ago his partner was killed by a Soviet spy, nicknamed Scuba, still at large. Scuba is now trying to extort the Soviets; to prove he's serious, he's killing their agents one by one, including "sleepers," agents under deep cover awaiting orders. Roy interviews a high school lad, Jeff Grant, an applicant to the Air Force Academy. In a routine background check, Roy discovers that Jeff's parents are sleepers. He must see if Jeff is also a spy, confront the parents yet protect them, and catch his nemesis. Meanwhile, the Soviets have sent their own spy-catcher, the loner Karpov, to reel in Scuba. Alliances shift; it's cat and mouse. |

Jeff Grant: Spy on my parents? You gotta be kidding me! You want me to help you put'em away? Never! Jeff Grant: Look Mr. F.B.I man, if you're so sure and if you're so right, why don't you just arrest them? Roy Parmenter: Well, because... they haven't done anything yet. Jeff Grant: You manipulating son of a bitch! Jeff Grant: Don't give me that crap! You're out for yourself! The big caller, the major bust, the two-bit g-man, well shove it up you're ass! You're not my father. You're not even my friend. Jeff Grant: What's my name? Come on dad, what could the head of the grandfamily have to hide from his first and oldest and only son? Richard Grant: [pause] Nika. Jeff Grant: J. Nicholas Grant. Nick. Richard Grant: [shakes head] Nikita. Konstantin Karpov: The time has come. Richard Grant: I told you, we're not ready. Konstantin Karpov: You had 20 years to get ready. Jeff Grant: Shove this up your bladder Boris. Konstantin Karpov: You know Roy? Russians don't shoot their children. |
