It means one false move...

and I'll paint

the place red. Capito?

Yeah, yeah.

And how do you think...

you're going to get

out of here in one piece?

We're going to stick

around here some more.

Samy, you and your friends,

clear out.

Why the hell

did you let them go?

Because you're the big one.

Chameleon in place.

Are you guys all set?

We are, Chameleon.

Here it comes.

What do we do now?

- What are you asking me for?

- You went to school.

Come on. Enough of that.

What's going on?

You OK?

Nothing broken?

- No, no. I'm OK.

- Good.

Chameleon to carrier.

The delivery's ready.

Commencing operation.

OK. Come on out of there, sir, please.

What now, Einstein?

Hurry up!

Things are getting hot here.

The wire, for f***'s sake.

Hey, you better send me

some ammo, quick!

They didn't take the money!

We'll split it!

Go on! Shut the door!

Go on. They're waiting for you.

What a great sense of timing

you guys got.

OK, guys, go!

Go, go, go, come on!

This way.

This way, please, everyone.

Come on, come on, man.

Come on, you two.

Good job, man.

Calling all units.

Operation terminated.

Captain!

You're the f***ing biggest

son of a b*tch...

I ever met, you scumbag!

That's the first compliment

I've had all day.

When I think that

I trusted you like a brother.

A brother? You mean

like shining your car for 6 months...

before giving me

a real job?

Oh, that door of yours,

the one that squeaks...

Doesn't squeak anymore.

Captain Commissar,

Colonel.

Thank you. Show him in.

Hello, Damien.

I'd have much preferred

simply to congratulate you...

for last night's operation.

Unfortunately, however,

we have a real emergency.

Sit down.

I'd rather stand

if it's OK with you, sir.

As you like.

You know Mr. Krger,

the Secretary of State...

for the Defense,

and Mr. Corsini, his assistant?

They need a man of courage...

for an extremely

delicate mission.

Mr. Krger, I'll let you

explain the situation.

It happened yesterday.

In the afternoon,

we were transferring...

material in an armored vehicle...

when we had

what you might call a little incident.

No, no, no. I don't want

your dirty sponge.

It'll scratch the window.

Sh*t.

One day I'll get them for that.

The good news

is that the vehicle...

had a lot of tracers in it...

so we know exactly

where it's located...

and we're asking you

to get it back.

Where is it?

What's inside the truck?

What is this sh*t, anyway?

An experimental

scatter-type bomb...

sometimes known as

a clean bomb.

It's a prototype based

on neutron technology.

Medium range

about 8 kilometers.

The waves are

of short duration.

They're absorbed very fast.

The risk of polluting

the atmosphere...

is close to zero.

You're worried they'll move the bomb.

Is that it?

It wouldn't be so clean

in the center of town, would it?

Yes, and that's one

of our primary concerns.

What's more,

the bomb is equipped...

with a timing mechanism

set for 24 hours.

Unfortunately, it was

triggered accidentally...

and that was exactly

one hour ago.

You mean in 23 hours, it'll...

It'll explode.

K2.

Yeah?

You got exactly 23 hours

to sell this mother.

Can't be done. Too short.

Captain, we're not asking

for your advice on this.

We're trying to explain

your mission to you.

Colonel, you know

the way I function.

I study the terrain

for weeks and weeks...

then it takes me months to infiltrate.

Damien, there are 2 million people

living out there...

and maybe half of them

are scum of the earth...

but the other half

are entitled to our assistance.

So you're gonna change

the way you operate...

unless you don't care anymore about

saving innocent people.

But accepting a mission

that's a lost cause...

is totally crazy.

You want me to defuse a bomb

in the worst barrio...

where I've never even been.

Couldn't be more attractive.

As far as the site goes,

we found you a local guide.

Plus I've got

to work with someone?

He's a young man

who was born there.

He knows the barrio

like a book.

So he'll save you

a lot of precious time.

And this guy,

did you force him to do it...

- or is he a volunteer?

- He doesn't know yet.

We're counting on you

to convince him.

Leto. Transfer.

- Where to?

- Shut up.

Let go of me!

Let go of me, for f***'s sake.

Come on, get up.

Prisoner 713 in the van!

He f***in' bit me,

the a**hole.

You OK?

Never better.

The f***er thought I let him

kick the sh*t out of me...

without doing anything.

Well, I'm getting out of here.

You think playing around

with the lock...

is really gonna

open the door?

You say that because

you don't know who I am yet.

The name's Phantom Man.

And Phantom Man doesn't plan...

spending eight years locked up.

What did they get you for?

Blew away five guys.

They weren't the right ones.

The guy I wanted got away.

What you want him for?

He murdered my father

and my two brothers.

And it hurts to know

this guy's still breathing.

So soon as I'm out of here...

I head for the Barrio 13...

and finish the bastard off

for good.

Does he live there?

Yeah, and he's gonna die there.

What's the guy's name?

Taha. You know him?

You're not missing much.

I made the big mistake

of trying to do...

some business with the guy.

He lives in a kind of hangar...

with an army protecting him.

And he struts

around the place...

him and his human vegetable.

What human vegetable?

A junkie. He keeps her on a leash...

like a dog or something.

I never saw anyone

so doped up.

Lola's her name,

I think.

I'll be back in two minutes flat, OK?

Hey, there's a space

here in front.

Can I drop you somewhere?

Barrio 13 will be fine.

You got it.

Damien.

Leto.

OK.

They've left the prison.

The plan's going

according to schedule.

Are they still together?

Yes. They're in front of the van.

Shouldn't be hard

to spot them.

Excellent.

Congratulations, Colonel.

I wouldn't claim victory so quickly.

It's much easier

to get out of prison...

than it is to enter Barrio 13.

And that's when we're gonna see

how good a guide...

your Leto is,

because without him...

Damien's gonna be

out of luck.

Your captain

can take care of himself.

I'm gonna need your help,

'cause I don't know the way.

Any idea how we can sneak in discreetly?

Yeah, go straight.

Hey, cut the sh*t out.

What are you doing?

I won't lose you this way.

Take those f***ing things off me.

You want to get inside?

Yeah.

Then from now on, a**hole,

I'm Phantom Man...

and you're gonna do

whatever I want.

Now floor it, huh?

And what the f*** we do now?

Go on, straight ahead.

OK, turn right now.

Turn right, I said!

Hey, I heard you the first time,

but the wheels won't turn.

OK, stop the car.

The brakes are gone, too!

Then stop it

against another car...

but go easy.

I didn't say

to smash the car.

OK, sorry.

Did the best I could.

But no one's stopping you

from getting a new driver.

Now let me go.

What's wrong?

Should feel at home, man.
