But I promise...

...if you don't get your pit bulls off my

back, I'm gonna come back here.

I'll carve your wife's heart out

and make you eat it. Understand?

I'm not....

No, you're not listening.

-Goodbye.

-Don't.

In my home!

He threatened me in my own home

with my family upstairs!

Well, he's just trying

to psych you out.

You want resources, fine.

I'll give you extra men,

weapons, whatever.

But I want him dead.

I don't care what it takes.

I just want him dead

in the next 48 hours.

Or I will personally turn

the two of you in.

You know, maybe the problem

with our plan is that...

...Polo isn't in on it.

You wanna make that headcase

our partner?

I've been expecting you.

You Nalbandian?

At your service.

I want to know who

the players are. Who set it up.

Who the hitters are. Everything.

And I know that you know.

Let's imagine

that you are right. Now what?

Now you tell me

before I start hurting you.

Your reputation is well-deserved.

So is mine. Gentlemen.

Agent Godfrey.

I see that your schemes

aren't getting any smarter.

Which is why we need your help.

Really?

Why would I help you?

Immunity. Lifetime guarantee...

...by both the E.U.

and the U.S. governments.

No strings attached

except a one-way ticket...

...to anywhere outside

of Europe and North America.

In exchange for...?

Helping to intercept Roland Flint.

Flint.

Things begin to make

a little more sense.

It's a limited-time offer.

We need to know.

Now.

-One condition.

-What?

I want the man

who killed my brother.

Impossible.

Unless the price is right.

You feel better?

I guess I got new Tellys now.

What?

My scars.

I name them after the man

who gave them to me.

You're judging me.

Like you're so much better.

Would you kill me if someone

offered you enough money?

What do you want?

Nothing.

People choose their death

when they choose how they live.

Does that let you sleep at night?

I sleep fine.

I'm a weapon.

I don't choose where I'm pointed.

Of course. You just follow orders.

I'm not different

than a doctor or a waiter.

I serve a function.

I get it.

I'm in the service industry too.

You calling me a whore?

A service provider.

Actually I'm nothing like you.

I don't have a choice.

I have nothing and no one.

You have money, power.

You can get out of the life

anytime you want.

You choose not to.

I'm going out.

Hey. You cost me business.

She's done with you.

You don't want me as an enemy.

I bet that scares the girls.

Who is he?

Some guy we found snooping

around, asking about you.

I don't think he's a cop.

Who are you?

Santa Claus.

Oh, good.

A comedian.

Once more.

Who are you?

Are you deaf? I'm Santa Claus.

Deaf.

What's going on?

We have a new offer.

The client will double your usual fee

for a fraction of the work.

What you need to do

is bring your new friend...

...to a specific place

at a specific time.

It will never work.

-He will smell the trap.

-Polo would be there as an incentive.

You will lead him in.

Put him at ease.

That's all you have to do.

Once it starts, you're out.

It's good to have friends.

But this is a dangerous friend

to have.

He's a loose cannon.

For him, it's personal.

Flint did a lot of damage

to Polo's organization.

But his mistake was leaving

the snake's head for last.

Polo got Flint where it hurt most.

Family. Wanted to send a strong

message to his enemies.

So he made Flint watch...

...while he and his men

gang-raped his wife...

...and beat her into a coma.

Lucky for your new friend, the local

gendarmes had a tail on Polo...

...and intervened

before Flint was killed.

Then Flint vanished.

Along with a sizable chunk

of lnterpol's dirty money.

So this whole job on Polo

is a smoke screen.

It's dirty cops using Polo

as bait to get Mr. Flint, right?

The money is real.

A third now. The rest on completion.

Good.

I was worried Mr. Flint's

personal vendetta was infectious.

-Where do I take him?

-City hall.

Tomorrow, 9:
00.

City hall tomorrow at 9:00.

My source says Polo's meeting

a councilman he's got on his payroll.

Trust your source?

As much as I trust you.

-I worry about you.

-What?

I'm worried

because for you it's personal.

You care too much.

It's going to get you dead.

Maybe me too.

Ask yourself this:

If you never really cared about

anyone or anything...

...then were you ever really alive?

You sound like someone I know.

Yeah, city hall's good.

The only way in is through the main

lobby. Lots of high vantage points.

-I like it.

-Okay. Let's take a look.

Here you go.

I'll take it.

Cheers.

Do you ever pray?

Been a long time. No one answered.

I gave up.

That's sad.

Where I come from, priests

and crooks, they're all the same.

Do you dream?

No.

Ever think about your future?

No, it will come soon enough.

And you?

I just want out. Out of the city.

Out of the life.

With someone I can trust.

Trust to do what?

Light a candle for me

when I'm gone.

Our selection for the evening.

I'm busy.

I think you wanna see this.

I need the room. Please.

You don't trust the African

to come through.

So I got us a backup.

Our friend here runs girls

for Benny Black in the district.

He saw the picture. He says he

knows the guy with the crossbow.

You know the animal

that killed my brother?

Yes, sir. We're neighbors.

Wait.

Be careful.

Excuse me, what's going on here?

Police, madam. Police.

The situation's under control.

You can step back into your office.

Get back into your office.

You can come quietly,

or I can use this again, okay?

Move it.

Your fat friend tried to hold out.

He really did. But finally...

...he sang like a f***ing soprano.

Told me all about you

and your little country hideaway.

Who knows?

Maybe I pay our girl a visit.

Excellent work.

The client is very pleased.

You're not going to examine them?

I trust you.

I have another prospect.

I'm going to take some time off.

Hello?

My friend. It's for you.

-Hello.

-Your friend has been a lovely hostess.

Here she is.

I hear you are a hard man.

But even hard men like us

have something we care about.

For example...

...I loved my brother very much.

The brother that you murdered.

I suggest an exchange.

You for her.

You don't really have a choice.

As a wise man once said:

We are all prisoners

of our own passions.

You're wrong about me.

I'm not a prisoner of anything.

He wanted to gamble.

I told him it was impossible

to get to you.

You went behind my back.

-It's done between you and l.

-Oh, come.

You're overreacting.

If I overreacted, you'd be dead.

Tell me where the money is

and I'll make it quick.

Just let me go right now.

You'll never see me again.

And if we don't?

Then I'll f***ing kill you.

Easy.

Let's get our money back first.

Okay, last chance.

Now, Gabor here, he's an expert.

He can make this last quite a while.

Where's the money?

I don't know

what you're talking about.

He's expecting you?

I was hoping you'd reconsider.
