24 Hours to Live Page #4

How are you?

I've been better.

I got $318,000 in this bag here

I'd like to give you

in exchange for your passenger.

Well, that's a very

generous offer,

but you know I can't

do that, right?

Yeah? It's worth

your life to you?

What you going to do?

I got you outgunned 12 to 1.

You see all these people?

These are the families

and the friends

of those villagers who you guys

somehow made disappear.

Hey, I had nothing

to do with that sh*t.

Yeah, well, I don't think

they give a f***.

Well, maybe you do

give a f***, all right?

You don't remember me,

but I served under you.

Musizi bridge, Congo.

I know how you roll, man.

It doesn't have

to go down like that.

What's your name again?

Z.

No, your real name.

What's your name?

Zack.

All right, Zachary,

listen to me.

I wasted my whole life

learning how to hurt people.

I kill people for money,

just like you.

And you know what it got me?

Nothing.

It took my wife, it took my son.

It took everything,

you understand?

So I got a lot of work to do...

Before I forgive myself,

all right?

So I'm leaving here

with that boy.

And you can either walk away

with a bag of money,

or I'm going to walk away

over your dead body.

Christopher!

Christopher!

Stop!

No!

Come on, let's go!

Let's go!

Sh*t. Let's go!

He's in the other vehicle.

How do you know?

Because the passenger never

rides in the rear vehicle.

Never. It's protocol.

Out of the way!

Out of the way!

Faster! We can't lose them.

Sh*t.

There they are.

Just trust me, all right?

Christopher!

Mom, is that you?

I can't see.

Take this thing off.

How have you been?

I love you so much.

Get out of here.

Go, go, go, go, go.

I can't do this alone, Travis.

Kate, listen to me.

I talked to them.

This is the last time.

The next time I come home,

it's for good.

I promise.

I promise.

We need to get you

to a hospital.

It's a little late for that.

You saved my son.

Well... Well, no,

you did that.

Come with us.

I still have some work to do.

And you need to get

that testimony

to the authorities.

Goodbye.

Goodbye.

Travis.

Zijin, Wolverine.

Zijin, hulk.

Travis.

Is he still alive? Whoa, hey!

That's my ticket downtown.

Okay, guys.

I hope you know

I know every protocol

for bringing in a passenger.

So if you deviate,

try to expose my position,

I will not hesitate

to eliminate you.

Okay.

You got it?

Yes, sir.

So call it in, all right?

Calm. Just be calm.

Just call it in.

Okay.

Red mountain base,

this is retrieval unit 2.

Inbound with passenger.

Over.

Retrieval unit 2,

this is red mountain base.

Please identify.

Whiskey-foxtrot

9-3-4-2.

Confirmed. Your team missed

your last mile marker check-in.

What's the status

of the passenger?

Passenger is secure.

Approaching east gate now.

Copy that. Proceed.

All right, you did a great job.

You can relax.

You know, I just probably

should let you know

that I'm going to be dead

in about 18 minutes.

So the only thing

I give a sh*t about

is f***ing with these guys

long enough

to let this woman

and her child live.

You got it?

Yes, sir.

If you'd like to see tomorrow,

you just keep making sh*t work.

You saved my ass back there.

Semper fi, buddy.

Is something going on?

We've been through some crazy

sh*t, buddy?

Hell, yeah, we have.

We've always known the risks.

Right?

The people that we go after...

Can retaliate.

Something happen?

Something happen to Jasmin?

No, man.

Kate and Adam.

What?

They're...

They're gone.

Man, I'm sorry.

What the f***?

This is not a kid.

Please don't shoot me. I'll

do whatever you want. Sit up!

Excuse me, sir.

There appears to be a disruption

occurring at the north gate.

Loading closed-circuit

video now.

Put us in full lockdown.

Then tell Mr. morrow

I'd like to see him.

Yes, sir.

Sir, we have a situation

at the front gate.

Yeah. I know.

F***ing Conrad.

Sir?

Explain.

Go home. Get out of here!

Go home before I change my mind.

All right, Travis.

Now let's get to work.

What are you thinking?

Patch me through to the gate.

Right away, sir.

Let me talk to him.

Travis, it's me.

It's over, buddy.

You hear me?

These guys,

they're not like us.

There is no loyalty.

There is no code.

There's only one code

that I live by, Conrad.

And that's for people to do

whatever the f*** I say.

I just ordered a team

to find and kill

your father-in-law.

Give us the memory card.

That's all we want.

Nobody gets hurt.

Jim, we both know

that's not true.

Patch me through everywhere.

Right away, sir.

Come on, frank.

Come on, frank.

Sh*t.

Move in and capture the driver

of that vehicle.

If he tries to retreat,

resist or advance,

shoot to kill.

Sh*t.

Looks like we're both f***ed.

All right, Travis.

The shortest distance between

two points is a straight line.

This one's for you, frank.

Hold. Go, go, go, go.

Secure the vehicle first.

Make sure he's dead.

One, two, three.

Cover me. Left side.

Sir, the vehicle

is inaccessible.

The stairwell's totally blocked.

Go around.

I want a team up here now.

Yes, sir.

Echo team on me. Move.

Send a strike team

to find the interpol agent

and that f***ing card.

Yes, sir. Right away.

You got the right place.

And the right time.

Motherfuckers.

Strike team, moving out.

Copy that.

I want a status report

on the target right now.

Copy that.

Approaching the vehicle now.

What is that?

The security gate is down.

Open it.

Sir, a security system breach

has been detected.

All perimeter gates

are unresponsive.

It's him.

He's still alive.

Sir, there's nobody

in the vehicle.

He's protecting the girl.

He's trying to f*** with us.

Sh*t. Sir, we got c-4

wired to explode here.

Watch it, watch it,

watch it, watch the lights.

Secure the room.

No one gets in here.

Tech, you copy?

Yes sir. What can I do for you?

Send the chopper.

And get me an outside strike

team on that interpol b*tch.

Call me the second you have her.

Stay frosty, boys.

What are you doing?

I'm having a drink.

You want one?

A million dollars

to the man who kills Conrad.

But only if he f***ing

stays dead!

I am so sorry.

It's okay, dad.

You're almost home.

Come on out, Travis.

Your transport has arrived.

You don't want to shoot him,

because you think

he's your friend.

He had no problem

looking the other way

when I ordered Adam and Kate

to be killed.

A man with no family

has nothing to lose.

You knew.

He didn't want you to quit.

He didn't want you to quit.

You could have saved them.

We could have saved them.

I was protecting my family.

It was mine or yours.

Do it.

Shoot me.

I don't want to kill you.

I want the fish to like me.

Sir, we've located the interpol

agent and her son.

The local strike team

is being patched through now.

I got eyes on him.

Should I take the shot?

Negative.

Stand down.

Let him live.

Semper fi.

You know what this is?

This is the moment

where you realize

that the line between

friendship and profession
