Hey, Sasha!

- Yo, man!

- Let's have a word.

Come. Come, come.

No no!

What? No, no, no, no, no!

No!

Just a second.

Yeah.

I got it under control.

He said he would be back soon.

Best to relax

and not to work yourself up

any more than you are, Lena.

I know Sasha would do anything

for me and my sister,

- but Alexander...

- Is just like your brother.

- A military man.

- A good man.

Mr. Wei.

Yes, our buyer will be

arriving tomorrow morning.

He'll be terribly disappointed

when I tell him there's

problems with our deal.

Won't the little one be enough?

Scratch Roberta's itch?

I'm not sure if his

interest would dip so low.

Perhaps not, but... if they do?

We'll decide in the morning.

Okay. So...

I'll bring her in the morning.

Yes.

Tell me the truth and

I won't hurt you.

Where is Mya?

I don't know.

You don't know.

You want to take me to her?

Okay, where can I find Chen?

I can't tell you.

If he finds out I sent you

to him, he'll kill me.

Okay, well, I'll kill you

a lot f***ing worse.

And I'm a lot better

at it than he is.

If I'm dead, you're dead!

Those girls are dead!

I don't mind.

I don't mind if everybody dies,

but I will kill you really slowly.

Now where is Mya?

I guess it's gonna be a

long, painful night.

This is a very very

special compound,

but it's gonna be slow

and f***ing painful.

There will be no more

f***ing around with you.

You want to tell me,

or you wanna die?

Either way is fine

with me at this point.

I really don't give a f***.

Okay, I'll talk, I'll

talk, I'll talk.

Talk.

I'll bring you there.

- I'll bring you to Mr. Chen.

- You'll bring me there? Perfect.

Get ready. We're going now.

Hey.

Dude, what do you want?

I already said everything

I gotta say to the cops.

Am I under arrest?

My friend...

what for?

Chess?

- What is your name?

- Alexander.

And you're here for

the little girl?

Yeah.

What is your business?

When you say, "what

is my business,"

you mean, what do I

do for a living?

- Yes.

- I'm a handyman.

A handyman?

Well, Mr. Handyman,

I have good news and bad news.

The good news is I

do have the girl.

The bad news is I need her

for another business transaction.

Well, that's a shame, because...

I came here to make

a deal with you,

and any good businessman

would always hear

what another man has to say.

I'm prepared to throw money down.

How much money are

we talking about?

- How much you want?

- How about a million?

A million? How about

300,000 cash, right now?

That's a good number.

I tell you what:
you

come back tomorrow,

bring your money and we

can do some business.

What happened?

They took her.

Well, I'm sorry to hear that.

'Cause now...

I will snatch every

motherf***er birthday.

Oh, f***.

Sh*t.

Camera 4 is not working.

I don't get a signal too.

No signal.

Reboot the system.

Three men...

two getting out of a limo,

one guarding the gate

that's in the driveway.

Looks like your tip might

actually be worth the trip.

Still down.

Pavel will be pissed

if something's wrong.

Okay, let me hear

your theory again,

'cause you're drawing a

lot of conclusions here.

Okay, so what do we know so far?

Chinese guy with a sword.

"Gwai Lo." "White ghost."

Maybe not.

Dead Russians.

And who's the big dog

in town these days?

Mr. Chen, the Chinese arms dealer.

Okay.

And we got nothing connecting

Mr. Chen to the murders.

Hear me out. What if

Vladimir is laundering money

- for a deal for Mr. Chen?

- No. No.

You have nothing to prove that.

What if our killer is

taking out Vladimir's men?

Okay. Why?

In order to prevent Mister...

to prevent Vladimir

from paying Mr. Chen?

Lena?

Sasha.

Are you okay? Are you okay?

Did they hurt you?

- No.

- Okay.

Come on.

- This way, this way.

- Let's go.

Easy.

Easy easy.

You really didn't give me

a choice, you know?

- Pavel?

- I tried to steer you away,

but you wouldn't listen.

Talking all the time.

- Talking all the time.

- You work for Vladimir?

Are you kidding me? Huh?

I work for Mr. Chen.

- What?

- No, they're cops.

Look, stay here until I come

back and get you, all right?

- Okay.

- Don't move.

Okay.

Partner, you are...

a real pain in the ass,

but not anymore. Not anymore.

No!

Watch out!

Li Wei, go! Warn Mr. Chen!

Sasha!

Go, go, go. I'm okay, I'm okay.

Go, I'm good, I'm good.

Too bad you are unarmed now.

I am, too. Come on. Come here.

You know what? Let's

make this a fair fight.

Roberto. See, unteachable.

You're early, my friend.

Bongiorno, Mr. Chen.

You have caused me much

trouble, Sasha. Much trouble.

I guess that's the cost

of doing business.

You should have never come back.

Sasha, be careful.

Shoot him!

Okay. Okay. Whoa, whoa,

whoa, whoa. Stop, stop, stop.

Give it to me. Give it to me.

Lena. Lena. Come on.

It's okay. It's okay.

It's okay.

I've got you. I've got you.

My squad car is over there.

I'll call it in, make

sure she's safe.

Go. Finish this.

- I'll be back.

- No.

I'm gonna finish this.

I'm gonna finish this.

I'll be back.

It's okay. It's okay.

Okay, I'll take her.

I'll find another

to clean my money.

Excellent.

Not very spirited.

Roberto, she's still young.

Ah. This is true.

Make her a Shirley Temple.

What do you want?

I have an appointment with Chen.

I got some stuff in here for him.

Show me.

He's clean. Mr. Chen

is expecting him.

Alexander, I've got Lena.

She's safe.

Stay on the perimeter.

Wait for my signal.

All right, copy that.

Well, Mr. Alexander.

Oh, you could just

call me "Alexander."

As you wish.

But addressing someone

in the formal

is much more...

polite. Don't you think?

Yeah, it's impressive. Yeah.

Listen, the deal was $300,000,

and I brought the money.

You know, it astounds me

how a handyman got 300 thousand dollars.

How did you get so much?

Well, that's kind of

none of your business,

but the fact of the

matter is I got it,

and we have a deal...

300 thousand dollars for Mya.

She's right there.

I'm here to take you home.

Oh, about that...

I changed my mind.

I thought you were a man of honor.

I thought you were

gonna keep your word.

I thought we had a deal.

No, no, no, no, no, we had

business... not yet a deal.

But it's time to make a deal.

I already told you she's

for another buyer,

but her sister, however...

how much would you pay for her?

Let's say 300,000 maybe?

But you see, the deal was for Mya.

Then I guess we have no deal.

Yeah, well, I got all

this money here.

What you want me to do

with all this money?

300 dollars, all right here.

You know, may I say

either you are very brave

or very naive for you

to come back here.

Now, you didn't bring no firepower.

If you did, we would've

honored our word.

But you're nothing but a handyman.

It'd be stupid for us

just not to take that

money and kill you.

I'm gonna give you one last chance

to keep your word.

You're gonna give

me one last chance?

- That's what I said.

- In my house?
