American Assassin Page #4

then it's all yours.

Kill as many Jews as you want.

Do you practice Salah, brother?

I receive my payment,

complete the project.

That's my practice, brother.

Very well.

Who was that guy?

In Istanbul.

It seemed like he was

a step ahead of us.

Hey, you gonna fill

me in here or what?

There's some bad people planning

on doing some bad things,

and it's our job to stop them.

You still haven't said

anything about Victor.

Victor's gone. Victor

doesn't exist.

What is it you think

we do here, Rapp?

I think we kill people

who need to be killed.

And who do you

trust to tell you?

I follow orders.

No, you follow orders

when they suit you.

This whole thing is pretty much

just a means to an end

for you, isn't it?

A lot's happened

in my life, sir.

Really? Huh.

Yeah.

So you think you were sent here

as an outlet for

your self-pity,

and your anger, and all

your guilt. Right?

Patriotism exists

because people like you and people

like me need a higher cause.

Something bigger than us.

That stink coming outta you

you like to call "revenge,"

the rest of us call "sh*t."

And as soon as it

starts to feel good,

that's when you stop

being a professional.

And then what are you?

Tell us something good, darling.

We're in their system.

The moment that transfer from

Sharif's account is picked up,

we'll know it.

Boy, you just smile,

and the Red Sea parts.

Works in the Med, too.

I'll bet it does.

Cash withdrawal from Sharif's

account. $2 million, U.S.

There's our

physicist. Let's go.

Welcome to the Boscolo

and enjoy your stay.

- Thank you very much.

- Thank you.

He's in 1448.

And we're next door.

Code in.

Victor-Charlie 1109.

Confirmed.

Suite 1448.

We're in 1449, right next door.

All right. We'll

grab the physicist,

and we'll take out

whosever coming for him.

Signal every 15 minutes.

Hey.

I know what happened to you.

I'm sorry.

I understand you.

More than you know.

I know what it's like to

lose people you love.

We're gonna get these f***ers.

F***!

Where the hell are you?

Hurley... Where is he?

I don't know what

you're talking...

Where is he?

He outside?

Please, no.

Please.

Hurley, what the f***?

I thought you were eyes on,

why didn't you spot 'em?

They were already

in the damn hotel.

Local mafia's working with 'em.

I'll tell Kennedy we

have the physicist.

What the hell just

happened out there, huh?

That's twice now this guy's

blown up our entire op.

What's the target? Huh?

What's the target?

- I don't know, mister.

- Yeah, you do.

Huh?

Do you think I'm stupid?

He's an American.

He said your name.

Did you train this guy?

You like to smoke?

Oh, Jesus Christ!

- Are you a smoker?

- I don't...

- Wait!

- Bad habit.

Wait, stop! Wait, wait!

I know something.

- What do you know?

- I know something.

There is a man... There

is a man they call Ghost.

Ghost. I think it was

an Iranian man said it.

Uh-huh.

Where are they building the bomb?

I just...

- Where are they building it?

- Took the money.

Where are they building it?

All right, here. Take some

time to think about it.

Ghost. Is that his name?

Why is this guy after you?

Something personal, sir?

They're building a nuke.

Hotel Navona.

- Clean yourself up.

- Wait.

Don't go.

America's president has

ordered the Sixth Fleet

out of the U.S. Naval

base in Naples, Italy.

The Sixth Fleet is now

southwest off the coast...

Let me help you.

No, it's okay. I'm fine.

You're not.

How are you holding up?

I was afraid today.

I thought we were going to die.

Yeah, I'm either always

afraid or never afraid.

I don't know which.

There you go.

Just relax now.

We'll search for Ghost tomorrow.

You scared me.

Who are you?

What do you mean?

You said "Ghost."

What about him?

I never told you that name.

Hurley did.

Yeah, I think you're

full of sh*t.

- Mitch.

- Who are you?

- Mitch, what's wrong with you?

- Who do you work for?

I'm CIA.

Now don't f***ing lie to me!

I'm not lying!

You're Iranian, aren't you?

Get the f*** away from me!

Are you working

with the Iranians?

Tell me the truth.

Tell me the truth!

Go to hell!

You Iranian intelligence?

Are you Iranian intelligence?

What do you know about Ghost?

We're gonna need the

decryption device.

You were right, Mitch.

This Iranian mole is a

tough nut to crack.

All I could get from

her was her handler.

Azad Ashani.

Happens to be a friend of mine.

I'm gonna go pay him a visit.

Okay, I'm going with you.

No.

I need you to stay here.

Kennedy's on her way

with the CIA team

and a Mossad team.

She's gonna ask me

where you went.

What the hell am I

supposed to say?

That's right, she is. And

you're gonna be smart,

and you're gonna keep

your mouth shut,

and you're gonna cover my ass.

I still have it.

Very nice.

I am always happy to

meet you, Stan...

But never happy why.

Well, maybe next time

we'll meet for pizza.

Your girl's tough, by the way.

Go easy on her.

She's my niece.

Yeah.

What have you got for me?

The men behind all this

are General Rostami,

our military chief of staff,

and our defense

minister, Behruz.

Both are very powerful,

and both are very angry about the

nuclear treaty we made with you.

They have been trying to acquire

nuclear materials for

the past two years.

And they are the ones

who hired the mercenary

called Ghost.

Rostami is now in Tehran,

but Behruz is here in Rome.

Annika has been tracking his

movements through his cell phone.

And they're building it here?

I wish I knew.

We have their physicist.

They can't build it without him.

But...

The mercenary asked Behruz

to use one of ours, an Iranian.

Behruz agreed. That was rash.

It means they are in a hurry.

And the target's Israel?

I wish I had better

information for you.

Where the hell is Hurley?

You gotta tell me what's

going on here. Now.

That guy he trained,

who the hell is he?

That's not something you

need to know right now.

What are you covering up?

When you've got a level-5

security clearance

and 20 years'

experience, talk to me.

Until then, shut up

and do your job.

I want her cell phone

decrypted and scanned.

Local PD pulled a body from

the harbor an hour ago.

Gunshot to the chest.

Iranian intelligence

officer, Azad Ashani.

Christ!

That's the guy

Hurley went to meet.

Stupid son of a b*tch!

All right, so what do we

do? We gotta go after him.

There's a f***ing

nuke in play, Rapp.

That's the mission,

and the only mission.

This is now a joint

CIA-Mossad operation,

whether we like it or not.

Can you get the

Director on the phone?

So you're just gonna

write him off then?

That's the plan?

Stan Hurley is the closest

thing to family I've got.

And if he were standing

here right now,

his only question would be,

why are we wasting our

breath talking about him?

You're through here.

You're going home,

that's an order.

Now, sit down and shut up.

Why are you helping me?

Your handler Ashani was killed.
