A Good Man Page #3

Oh, yeah.

What do you think I am,

man? Put that away.

And I also wanted to say thanks for

what you did for my sister last night.

I didn't do nothing.

Look, I do the best that I can

to take care of my family,

but I can't be all

places all the time.

So what you did last night...

I appreciate it.

Look, man, I have a

rope around here...

on the Russians, with the Chinese.

There's bad guys that live by a

code of ethics and follow the rules

and there are those who don't.

You're running with

those who don't.

You're right.

It's still none of your business.

- Keep that in mind.

- My family, my business.

All right.

We're not gonna be here

much longer, anyway.

You can count on that.

I gotta go.

Oh, and I sincerely hope that you didn't

have anything to do with what happened

to Vladimir's men last night.

Not me.

Hello.

Amerikansky.

Hey, Why'd you call

me at a payphone?

I was downstairs at the club.

So I would be able

to speak with you,

Knowing that our conversation

will remain in private.

Sasha...

I'm afraid we suspect

one of our own stealing

from Mr. Chen.

Are you talking about the murders?

Yes, Sasha, the murders.

Okay. Just wait a second.

Vladimir, I would never

steal from you or Mr. Chen,

let alone kill one of our own.

I may believe that, Sasha,

But Mr. Chen is not the

sort that is comforted

by panicked assurances.

But if it makes you

feel any better,

he will continue to care

for your lovely sister

long after you are dead and buried.

I didn't kill anyone!

I swear to you! You

have to tell him that!

Wait! Andrei!

and try your call again.

Please hang up.

Oh... f***!

Mya?

What's going on?

Where is Sasha?

Did something happen to him?

- Yes, something happened to Sasha.

- What?

Your brother was a thief,

so he had to pay with

his life, I'm afraid.

- No, that's impossible.

- I'm afraid it's possible and finished.

But this is not the

reason I'm here.

I'm here for you.

You're a smart and

very attractive girl.

Now I can see why

Mr. Chen had decided

to keep you for himself.

Don't touch me!

Now be smart and watch your tongue.

I don't want to mess up

that lovely mouth of yours.

- No.

- Go in that room.

Mya.

Keep her quiet.

Mya!

Lena.

Mr. Chen is willing to

take her over money.

I'd be a fool to turn

her over so easily.

Okay.

Slight change of plans.

- Keep her safe. Let's go.

- Mya! No.

Stop!

Mya!

No!

Do that again and

your sister is dead.

Do you understand me?

Now be a good girl

and get in the car.

Oh Sh*t.

Quit staring at me, b*tch.

Go on. Test me.

I dare you.

Give us a minute.

- What's going on?

- We got trouble.

Come on.

Stay here.

Go back to your room.

Back to my room?

Uh-huh.

You want some?

You're gonna die, motherf***er.

Alexander.

- Are you hurt?

- No.

They took Mya. Sasha's dead.

- This can't be happening.

- Well, he... he's not dead.

That's for sure.

Why do you think Vladimir took Mya?

He said he was taking

her to Mr. Chen.

Mr. Chen wanted me,

but he took Mya instead.

I don't even know who Mr. Chen is.

Well, I do. Come on.

Sir, I know who took your money.

I don't care who took my money.

We made a deal.

The cash, the girl

or I'll kill you and

your entire family.

This is the thief's sister.

I brought her to you

for collateral.

Are you gaming me?

Or do you have the biggest

pair of balls on earth?

You're running out of time

and excuses, Vladimir.

Hi.

What is your name?

Mya.

Oh, your name is Mya.

She's the little sister

of the one you asked for.

I will have her soon

again, but until then...

I am Mr. Chen.

Take her to the safe house.

The money is one thing,

but when people start

to die around me

with frequency and ferocity,

it usually means that

someone is trying to take

what is rightfully mine.

Is this what you're trying to do?

Mr. Chen, please, I'm

getting your money.

I just thought...

no. No, no, no, no, no!

No, no, no! No!

No!

No! No!

You think too much, Vladimir.

I'm gonna keep the girl.

I would start going if I were you.

- Where are we going?

- To see your brother.

My friend told me

he's hiding out here.

Follow me.

Sasha.

Are you trying to kill me?

Okay, okay, it's good

to see you, too. Yeah.

Thank God you're alive.

Vladimir said that you're dead

- and I thought you were.

- Sorry to disappoint you.

Sasha, Vladimir and Aleksey took

Mya to someone called Mr. Chen.

- What?

- Yeah.

So I know you don't trust me,

but you're gonna have to trust me.

Otherwise, I can't help you.

You know, there is an old

adage from Sun Tzu that says,

"When one first sets out for war,

first dig two graves."

And I'm hoping that you feel

that way about your family.

I'm hoping you're willing to die

in order to save your family.

How you feel about that?

Whatever it takes.

This I call...

It means "the Devil's

Butcher Knife."

I use it a lot. It's

the perfect weapon.

Very quiet.

Why'd you kill Vladimir's men?

Two years ago I was

given an assignment

to terminate a couple terrorists.

One in particular, he was

working with am arms dealer,

and...

I got the terrorist and

the arms dealer got away.

- Mr. Chen.

- That's right.

So the last two years

I've been tracking Chen

through Asia, and went

to Hong Kong and...

killed all of his men, triad style,

just to flush out Chen.

- What's in it?

- I wanted him to think

that it was inside-the-family job,

so I get in there and kill

the bad guys with a sword

and leave joss sticks on the body.

You drew the w... the writing

on the wall. Gwai Lo.

I'm the one that's gonna

save your sister,

and I'm the one that's

gonna kill Chen.

Good. Let me help.

Open it.

It's the money from the drops.

It's... it's Vladimir's money.

All right, let me tell

you what you can do.

You go to Vladimir and

find out how much money

it's gonna take to buy her back.

So you just want me to stroll in

and talk to the guy

that tried to kill me?

Well, he's not gonna kill you,

'cause he knows you're a part of

how he's gonna get the money.

You wait for me here.

You said you were

just a regular man.

Yeah, that's true...

I'm a regular man who does

bad things to bad people.

If Vladimir sees you

here, he will kill you.

- You know that, right?

- Yeah.

Just let him know I'm here.

Hi, Sasha.

I'm supposed to give you a dance.

Of course you are.

So why did he send you and

not one of his goons?

I don't ask questions, Sasha.

You know that.

I just do as I'm told.

Look, why don't you just sit back

and enjoy the dance?

Okay. Passion?

I need to speak with Vladimir.

Thank you, Passion. That's enough.

I didn't think I would

see you again, Sasha.

Easy.

I'll give you whatever

you want for Mya.

The price is 300,000.

This is what I owe to Mr. Chen.

Pay it and you can

have your sister back.

Sounds reasonable?

300,000?

Yeah, reasonable as hell.

Finally.

Hey, look, there's our friend.

Think he might talk either?

I don't know. Let's find out.
