Command Performance Page #3

All I know is that

if we make it out

with this news footage,

we'll never have

to work again.

Sh*t, sh*t...

Sh. Quiet.

Let's get out of here.

Let's get out of here.

No.

Oh, f*** this.

F*** this.

No.

Hey, stop!

Bloody hell.

That was close.

The cameraman escaped.

He's been neutralized

I'm heading back

to the stage.

We'll be

back soon.

The important thing

is for you to stay

here and stay quiet.

Don't make a sound.

Do you understand?

Just listen to some

tunes and relax, okay?

Rock and roll, Joe.

Don't move.

Turn around.

Against the wall.

You know

I don't like guns.

They kill people.

You think you're

funny, huh?

You wanna hear

something funny?

Three Colombians

came to our apartment

one morning to

collect a debt.

My brother

was shot in

the chest.

Seven times.

I found the

guys who did it.

Since then I've

been trying to stay

away from these things.

They told me

to arrest you.

Well, in case

you haven't noticed,

I'm on your side.

I noticed.

Hey.

You want

this back?

Yes.

Sorry.

After you.

They want to talk.

Who wants

to talk?

The bandits inside.

I am General

Voroshilov, Internal

Security Command.

What do you want?

Certain parties are

interested in making

a deal with the authorities.

What kind of deal?

Safe conduct.

Immunity.

For who?

Can you

approve a deal?

For who?

Can you

approve a deal?

I can approve

a deal.

What are you

bringing to

the table?

Motivations.

Key players.

An escape route for

me and my partner.

And, a way for

your Alpha to get inside.

Wait!

We will

be in touch.

How do I

contact you?

I don't know.

I wish I knew.

But they're hiding

something. You know

these Russians.

Attention.

Someone on the inside

wants immunity. To

make a deal.

Please. Lay it out

for us, General.

Names, dates,

and a way inside.

They said they'd get

in touch with

the details.

When?

It is now

twenty-two hundred.

We can't

wait that long.

The execution deadline set

by the bandit leader is

coming up, and, uh,

sooner or later,

I have to send in

the Alpha Team.

How do

they get in?

Captain?

Captain Siminov.

These two

gentlemen are

from the CIA.

Three-phase assault.

Through the front

of the building

using tanks.

A helicopter

insertion over

the roof.

And an infantry foot assault

through the underground

access tunnels.

Still giving the

terrorists time to

kill hostages.

No. We gotta

buy more time.

The U.S. government

would like to explore

this offer, General.

In the meantime,

all that's standing

between the terrorists,

a dead U.S. ambassador,

an even deader

Russian president,

is a green

security agent.

Oh, and a

f***ing drummer.

Sir. This just came

in from the FBI.

You've gotta

be kidding.

Jesus Christ.

Let's wait

for the deal.

One hour maximum.

Security office.

Perfect.

N ice shooting.

Forgot some

of their toys.

I've got something

over here.

As we've seen

in the past,

the Russian government

will not negotiate

with terrorists.

I know this room.

It's the main rehearsal

room behind the stage.

Didn't you rehearse

down there?

We don't rehearse.

We just play.

Go on.

Move.

Sit.

Any problems?

Anton is dead.

I want you

to get out.

Get out?

They need help.

We all need help.

You can get

it for us.

I'll never make

it out. They'll

kill me.

There is a good chance

we're all going to

die down here.

We have to

help my children.

You're the only one

they're not watching

all the time.

Wait for my signal.

Send out

another patrol.

Strip the arena.

Soon, they will pay.

And one man won't

make a difference.

Or will it?

Come.

Take a drink.

I don't drink.

Drink!

You'll need it.

I haven't had

a drink in 18 years.

Drink.

No.

No, no, please.

Drink! Swallow!

It is eleven thirty PM.

The next deadline,

One billion sterling.

Don't look, children.

Just so the

world knows...

I'm very,

very serious.

No stomach for our

work, my old friend?

Now they have no

reason to negotiate.

They will be

here soon.

We have to rescue

those hostages.

I can't do

it by myself.

The guys who

killed your brother.

That's why you

don't want to use

a gun?

No.

I'm okay.

Forget about that.

I'm gonna have

to stop running away,

and go after

these mother

f***ers ourselves.

I'll take over.

Come on,

get up!

Daddy!

No, no, no.

Daddy!

Go ahead.

Be a hero.

The singer

is gone.

What are you

waiting for?

Comrades.

Are you ready

for the grand finale?

And, as they

say in the

concert business,

seating is limited.

This'll get

us to the

rehearsal Room.

Let's go.

So this is

the old Joe.

Yeah.

Scary, huh?

Joe.

You okay?

You're not hurt?

They killed

my brother.

And the

American Ambassador.

We know.

They've got

the president

and the girls.

Oh, we've got

to get help.

Look, I got a hell of

a recording deal comin'

up with your label.

None 'a these

a**holes are

gonna stop me.

Okay.

You two finished?

You're going

with us.

Let's go.

Trying to figure out

how to spend all

that money, huh?

On wine or women.

I'll stick

with women.

Hey, uh, you guys,

you're part of Anton's

mob, right?

No, we work

for Vladimir.

I know.

Relax. Taking

your evening

exercise, friend?

I was

looking for...

the escape route.

You're not

even close.

Follow me.

Where?

This way.

Come.

The tunnel?

Think I was

lying to you?

This tunnel.

It leads to, uh,

the subway system.

From there we

could get out?

Exactly.

Why did you

talk to the General?

Oleg, it's not what

you're thinking.

From my father.

To a traitor.

Alpha Team standing by

in position.

Hold for Comrade.

Command fire Delta approved.

Confirm Alpha Leader.

This is Alpha Team Leader.

Confirmed. Wait for

Go Team now.

The bullets on these,

it's not worth my time.

What is this?

Sledge.

We can't wait on our

inside contacts much longer.

Sir, I think

I found something.

Oleg Kononov, a Russian

national who immigrated

to the U. S.

in the early nineties,

got arrested for

some petty crimes

in the U.S.

Why did he go

crazy like this?

Money?

I think because

of his real name.

His real name?

Can I get access to Soviet

Ministry of Defense

personnel records?

Circa 1990, 1992.

That's classified, Major.

Do it.

That's one hell

of a climb.

The Rehearsal

Room is up there.

How many entrances?

Two, I think.

We'll split up

when we get

to the top.

What about me?

You know how

to use this?

Let's go.

Let's go.

How long until

the deadline?

Thirty-five minutes.

The finance ministry is

standing by to transfer

the funds.

This is not

going to matter

if our bandit leader

wants what I think

he wants.

Those hostages will

be dead very,

very soon.

You said his

name had

some significance.

The last name,

Kazov. Ring

a bell?

Oleg Kazov. Current

age should be

forty-four.

Former Captain in

the Red Army

for three tours in

Afghanistan in the

late-eighties.

Highly skilled Special

Forces Operative.
