Okay. So...

let's find out which Russian gangs

are missing a Lieutenant...

and has a beef with the

Chinaman assassins.

Hey, Sasha, I don't suppose

you'd know anything about

this mess, would you?

You know me better

than that, Constable.

I'm just getting a bite.

Afternoon, Father.

Alexander. I've seen you

pass by many many times.

First time you

actually came inside.

Yeah, just looking around.

Of course. Feel free.

Thanks.

You must be Mya's brother.

- Yeah, how'd you know?

- Hey, where's your dog?

You mean Roman.

He's at my apartment.

I'll bring him by later.

That's the man I've been

telling you about...

our new neighbor with the dog.

Okay. I gotta get out of here.

Just in case...

you get hungry, here's a little...

whoa. Hey. No, you

can't have all that.

- There you go.

- Thank you.

You're coming by tonight?

I can't. I gotta work,

but I'll call.

- You still have it?

- Have what?

The key.

What key?

I give you... on the neck.

I don't know what

you're talking about.

The neck.

- Yeah. Yeah!

- This key. This key.

- Yeah.

- Of course I have.

I never leave home without it.

- Good.

- All right.

I'll see you later.

No. But whoever it was...

left joss sticks on

the bodies again.

Yeah, he's sending a message.

And the money?

One last thing. Vladimir...

who is she?

Just a girl.

Feels light.

It's all in there, sir.

If you like, I could...

at least you and your men

made it here alive tonight.

Let's keep it that way.

I can't afford to do business

with some Chinese

ninja out hunting us.

Give this to Chen... clean.

Trans:
And before you go, enjoy the girls.

Tonight, it's on the house.

Hey!

Try Lena, the girl behind the bar.

Leave the girl alone.

It's all there.

My sister working here was

not part of our deal.

You are telling me what to do now?

Your sister is here so I

can keep an eye on her,

- to keep her safe.

- If she works here,

I say she's for sale,

like the rest of the b*tches.

You promised my

family protection...

if I came here to work

off my father's debt.

I am upholding my part of the deal.

Yes, and you are very

good at what you do.

That makes you valuable to me.

You want out, no?

That's why you are here...

to rescue your family.

Noble, truly.

But Lena is beautiful.

She could make me a lot of money.

But Alexei is right.

Lena here is nothing more

to me than a pretty girl

behind the bar, and

until the debt is paid,

she is my girl, not yours.

Remember that.

- Who is it?

- Alexander.

Wait a minute.

I brought you a new lock,

unless you and your sister want

to keep using a screwdriver.

Wait a minute.

Hey.

Hi, Roman. Come on.

Come on.

Okay, so you're an American.

What are you doing here?

Sasha's an American.

What's he doing here?

He's... kind of over there

with a guy who's not a

very good human being.

- What's your relation to him?

- Vladimir?

In business with him?

Yes, you could say that.

I only come here to drink.

This is kind of a bad neighborhood

you're walking through.

I thought I'd walk you home.

Hey, b*tch.

Are you work here or what?

Hey, where are you going, honey?

I want a lap dance.

You know, it takes the IQ

of a mature caterpillar

to know the difference

between the staff and the dancers.

- You understand?

- I want that bar b*tch to dance for me,

so f*** you.

- Shall we go?

- Are you for real?

Not really. It's all fake.

Well, Mya was worried.

Yeah, poor thing.

She's alone so much.

It was worse... a lot worse

before Sasha came back.

- And...?

- And...

Our father owed money

to the Russian mob,

he died and the debt fell

onto me and my sister.

And how is it you got

mixed up with Vladimir?

With Vladimir.

Sasha... Sasha is my half-brother.

He grew up in the states.

He was in the military

and was stationed over here.

So when he heard about our problem,

he came to help us out.

Hey, a**hole, do you know

who that ho belongs to?

Yeah, she belongs to me.

Why? Vladimir sent you?

Tell Vladimir Piteras if he has

something to say, say it to me.

Take this. I'm gonna

talk to these guys.

- Okay.

- Can you do that for me?

Lock yourself out again?

No, just worried about you.

Why don't you come in?

Thanks.

I can't believe those a**holes.

Thanks for helping me...

- again.

- I didn't do nothing, ma'am.

I'm just a handyman.

I work with saws,

and screwdrivers,

and hammers, and...

simple stuff like that.

They were Vladimir's men.

You said earlier that Sasha was

working with some dangerous men.

You know all about them, don't you?

I do.

Then you know once there is a debt,

there's no getting away.

So, as long as Vladimir

needs Sasha, here we are.

But it will come a day when

Vladimir doesn't need him anymore,

- and when that day come...

- When that day comes,

you go away to a nice, safe place

and you have to never think

about them again. You hear?

I'm glad you made it home safe.

So am I.

Ooh, the rate this guy's going,

we're going to be out

of Russians soon.

Again with the incense.

And the Chinese

writing... Gwai Lo...

it means "white ghost."

But not a derogatory

sense, you know?

Like he sa... he's

saying it with pride.

You know?

A vendetta. So he's not Chinese.

Maybe.

Ah... okay.

Oh, I googled the tats.

You were right about

the last victims.

These guys...

have the same ink.

Yeah, but they're low level,

- Foot soldiers.

- So?

- Messengers?

- Bag men.

They were transporting something.

Something our assailant has

taken, probably money.

The way they are cut up...

the killer obviously is

very skilled with a knife.

Short sword. I'm guessing our

man is sending a message.

- A warning?

- Yeah.

But the question is...

a warning to whom?

Keep your mouth shut

and do what I do.

My buyer,

a very good customer...

he likes big weapons,

dangerous weapons,

expensive weapons.

All you had to do was launder

this money through your club.

Now the money's gone missing.

I can not honor my

deal with my buyer.

Mr. Chen, I would never...

never... steal from you.

But these murders, they

are disrupting my ability

- to do bus...

- Oh.

You were short last month.

This is your way of saying

you're short yet again?

No, Mr. Chen, I just

need more time.

Li Wei just confirmed that you have

this Russian girl at your club.

You are very fortunate...

that my buyer has this proclivity

for beautiful Russian girls.

The younger, the better.

Maybe I can... repair the situation

with the help of

your Russian beauty.

You know, I am reminded

of this old proverb

that if you stand by the

river's edge long enough,

eventually...

you will see your dead

enemy's body floating past.

the money or...

Your choice.

Why didn't you call me?

I told you, Alexander

took care of it.

- It wasn't any problem.

- It wasn't a problem?

- No.

- Right.

Lena, do you have any idea

what's going on right now?

You don't. You call me.

- Alexander?

- How can I help you?

Replacing the lock.
