And even if it was,

you'd drink it anyway, right?

Maybe.

No. No maybe. Yes.

Say yes.

Yes.

Now you know, at the end of the night,

I'm gonna handcuff you,

and I'm gonna f*** you.

Yes.

Right over there in the cabinet.

You kept the handcuffs.

Yeah.

I hate them. They hurt.

That's not what you used to say.

May I ask you a question, Miles?

Of course.

Am I the only girl that turns you on?

Yes.

I'm the only one you can f***?

That's right.

But the others.

The others don't do anything for me.

Since when?

For a while.

I gotta get that, okay?

This is New York.

The market's closing.

Yeah, hello.

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

I was expecting your call.

Yeah. Yeah, yeah.

No, look, as long as it stays that way,

we're not gonna sell.

That's absolutely out of the question.

That's right. No, I have

the information right in front of me.

Look, we have to be careful, okay?

That's all I'm saying.

They're waiting for a sign,

and we gotta be careful.

Vortex.

Hey, couldn't I have a cigarette?

Merci.

Get down!

Don't you f***ing move.

Okay? Don't move an inch.

I said don't f***ing move!

Is it done?

Did anyone see you?

Were you followed?

No.

The gun. Give me the gun.

Did you wipe your prints?

I don't know.

You don't know?

Sandra, you asked me to help you,

and I will help you,

but if you don't f***ing listen to me,

I can't help you.

Do you understand?

I did what I could.

In any case, you were caught

by the cameras.

They saw you come, they saw you go.

They'll identify you.

This time tomorrow, you'll be

a new person in a different country.

No one will know you.

Did you bring a change of clothes?

Yeah.

Change. Your dress is torn.

I booked you a flight to Hong Kong.

You leave for Madrid, Orly.

7:
15 in the morning.

Madrid, Hong Kong, 3:30.

- Do you understand?

- Yeah.

When you get to Hong Kong,

take a taxi to this address.

Go inside the building,

go to the tenth floor.

Look for Mr. Ho.

Mr. Ho is my friend.

He knows nothing.

He needs to know nothing.

Don't ask him anything.

He'll take care of you.

You need to do what I say.

When you get to Hong Kong,

do not use your credit cards, okay?

They'll find you immediately.

This is 1,000 U.S. dollars

in Hong Kong dollars.

It's not much. Be careful with it.

Give me your credit card.

You use your credit cards,

they trace you.

Give me your phone.

I don't want you using your phone.

It's too dangerous.

My flight takes off from Rossi

four hours before you.

I arrive in Hong Kong before you as well.

Mr. Ho will give you an address

to where I will be.

You'll meet me there.

- At your place?

- No.

The person that hired us.

When the cops find Miles and it's official,

we get the other half of the money,

cash, in Hong Kong.

It's faster, it's better.

Then he disappears, and so will we.

- Give me the keys to the car.

- What for?

You don't need to know.

Just give the keys.

Lisa's waiting for you outside.

I don't want you to be alone.

She has your suitcase.

Wait, you told her about this?

You did.

Lisa's over there.

Sandra. I know you need me now, okay?

We have to wait 24 hours. 24 hours.

I'll manage.

You sure?

You have to trust me. Trust me.

Wish me well.

Come here.

Lester said to go to the Vegas.

You have to be seen.

He asked me to come to China.

Did you say yes?

What do I have to lose?

I'll wait with you.

Lisa, I'm okay. I want to be alone.

Are you sure?

Lester said

to stick with you till you leave.

You're on his flight?

Yeah, 8:
40 from Rossi.

I'll drop you off, then get my stuff.

See you there.

I trust you. You won't blow me off.

I know no one there.

Neither do I.

Could I have some water, please?

- Hi.

- Hello, madam.

I need to go to this address.

I'll take you.

- Okay?

- Okay.

Excuse me?

Uh, do you know where this is?

This-

Oh, over there.

Yeah.

Hello. Are you Mr. Ho?

I'm Sandra. Lester must've

told you about me.

Do you have the paper with my name?

You mean this?

She's here. Text me the address.

You remember, Abacus Import, fifth floor.

Abacus Import.

Hi. I'm Sandra.

I'm looking for Lester.

- He's waiting for you.

- Thank you.

- Can I check my bag?

- Right here.

- In here.

- Thanks.

Hey!

Open the f***ing door!

Lester?

Open this door!

She's here.

Ah Wing is dealing with her.

I told you to wait for me.

You've bungled up enough.

Who said to get rid of the other girl?

She wasn't part of the plan.

Too risky to let her go.

You do not make decisions.

I've warned you. I do.

Bring her to me.

Now!

Lester?

It's Sue.

Can I talk to Lester, please?

He's not here. He left with his cell.

Where are you?

Same as you, Hong Kong.

Well, I need to talk to Lester.

Lester has business to deal with,

but he's going to meet up with you later.

I'll call later then.

You want to come over?

Do you want an address?

Do whatever you want.

I don't see that you need options.

Wait. It's better if you talk to the taxi driver.

I'm sorry. A person's

gonna tell you the address.

Hello?

Yes, I'm here.

148 Connaught Road?

What do I do? Where do I go?

I can see you.

His furniture sales are just

part of the business.

They make them in Canton,

they go through Shenzhen

and distribute worldwide.

The only thing is, I have to keep changing

the address of this or you get traced.

Seems to be going pretty well.

Not well enough.

We're hurting in covering costs.

We have big debts.

Where is Lester?

He had more meetings.

Have to join him later.

And I also make things clear.

I know all about the two of you.

You're not the first.

There were others before you.

And you just put up with it?

He needs me.

I wouldn't be so sure of that if I was you.

I know.

Andy? Kindly go over them.

You're in love with him.

Do you really want me to talk about it?

He does it to humiliate me.

I kind of have a hard time

picturing you as a victim.

You're wrong.

So you just let him

go on his business of that.

It's convenient.

We needed money.

What, to pay the club in Beijing?

Yeah.

To pay for the different men I'm into.

It's a lot of money. I don't have it.

In partnership with you, it was possible.

Wait. It was me and Lester. Not you.

Didn't he tell you?

I'm the one with all the contacts in Beijing.

My brother-in-law works

for the Olympic Company.

Lester's from Hong Kong.

He doesn't know a thing.

I grew up there.

I just checked the Internet.

Miles is dead, they say in the news.

Did they say anything else?

No.

They just announced it.

Did they talk about the circumstances?

They say he was found dead

in his house, and that's all.

That's enough.

Lester is having a meeting tomorrow

to get the rest of the money,

and the other half has already

been wired from an account in China.

Maybe Ah Wing was supposed

to take care of you when you arrive:

give you your share

and help you disappear.

But I'm behind it.

Do you know him?

I've never met him.

He's Lester's contact.

Well, he definitely tried
