Covert Operation

Move! Hurry! Hurry!
Stop him! Stop him!
- Move! Move! Move out of the way!
- Move! Whoa!
What the f***?
Whoa.
Get back!
A**hole.
Stop it!
Stop it!
Get back!
A**hole!
Too bad for you
there is extradition
between Hong Kong and Thailand.
And you should have
thought about that
before you screwed some little
kids, you piece of sh*t.
F*** you, b*tch!
Pedophile.
Okay?
He is a pedophile, guys,
come on!
I pay them very well to ignore.
Where are you?
On Kam Yuen street.
Let them arrest you.
don't put any resistance.
And please wait for me.
Your lawyer is here.
Well...
To be honest with you,
you're completely screwed.
I could've helped you
before the retrocession,
- but as it is, I just...
- Have you paid the bail?
- Yeah.
How much this time?
10,000 U.S. dollars
and 10 more for the
dismissal of charges.
That's it?
You thought you'd set
a record or what?
Next time maybe.
Time to go.
The police have found
about 10 kids at Khae's.
Beijing has ordered
his extraction.
- Hungry?
- No.
Let's party.
This is for you as well...
Offered by Interpol.
What about my passport?
Your time will come, Gabe.
Okay, I'm good.
- Hello?
- Hey, hola, chica.
So, what country?
Sun, palm trees,
crystal clear sea water...
Guess where?
Um, Scotland?
No.
Moscow?
Cuba.
Cuba? Oh, bien.
You speak Spanish now?
Yeah, un poquito, un poquito.
So you're calling to tell me
you're coming back soon
and I have to book days off,
or that I will have to wait
because you don't have
your passport yet?
Yes, yes, and no.
Hey, you still there?
I just came across the T-shirt
you sent me a year ago.
Oh.
- Gabriel?
- Yeah, yeah.
I'm sorry,
but I have to go, so...
But I'll call you
back very soon, okay?
Okay.
- Sleep tight.
- Oh, thank you.
Can't you just give me
a call before you come...
Your mobile is off, Gabe.
But I'd rather you woke me up
instead of that b*tch.
Ahem.
Hello, Gabriel.
Did you sleep well?
Can people sleep well
in Hong Kong?
Nobody can sleep well
with the noise
from these restless streets.
I'm not talking
about restless streets.
I'm talking about
restless minds.
Oh, come on, Gabe.
We're going to sit down
and drink our
wonderful cappuccino.
Donggang,
near the north Korean border.
Please.
We had an agent posted there,
keeping watch
since Kim Jong II's death,
but we haven't heard
from him for 10 days.
I need you to find him
and bring him back
okay, and what if he is dead?
Do I bring you back his corpse?
This is the last shot
we have of him.
It was taken from a security
camera two months ago.
How many times
are you gonna dump me
with your dirty work?
Look at the photo.
I've already cleaned out
the whole of Asia.
What's next?
I'm only the messenger, okay?
Yeah, who gives me champagne
and gets me to swallow the pill
the day before?
Is that Witaker?
Yes.
Yes, the guy who pissed
his pants in Rangoon, right?
Gabe, come on.
If someone tortured your
genitals with burning iron,
I'm not sure you'd have kept
a stiff upper lip.
Well, it depends on who's
holding the iron.
If you send
your worst agent up there,
don't be surprised
if he gets lost.
Witaker is my husband,
you prick!
I don't give a sh*t!
You married him, I didn't.
- But if we don't...
- "We"? There is no "we."
"We" is "me," and don't
start like we are a family.
- I don't buy it.
- Calm down, Gabe, please.
So why don't you inform
the Chinese secret services?
Because his mission was
off the record!
So it is hopeless
and you know it.
All right, if it was me,
would you send a commando
to get me back?
Would it be action stations
in Hong Kong to save poor Gabriel?
Are you kidding me?
You just send a new wanker,
write a report,
and you'd hire another guy
like me to screw him too.
I've been stuck there
for two years now
and every single week
there is a new job for me
and every time you're telling me
it's gonna be the last time.
And here we go again.
You go f*** yourself
and you too.
We have to pay
for our bloody mistakes.
What are you talking about?!
I've paid for it 10 times over.
You have to pay
for your bloody mistake!
- What is wrong with you guys?!
- Calm down.
I've paid for you
and the next motherf***er.
- Pay for it!
- Whoa, whoa, whoa!
Calm down! Calm down!
Sit down and listen, please!
Please sit down now.
Whoa!
Gabriel, if you accept,
Interpol will wipe
your slate totally.
You'll get your passport back.
We replenish your bank account.
It is all written here in black and white.
No bullshit.
Read.
I give you my word.
Under which identity am I going?
Meal replacement salesman.
- Prep time?
- One week.
You're gonna love
the suit I found you.
...in cities
in northeastern China,
they felt the tremor caused
by that artificial earthquake
that north Korea later
announced was a nuclear test.
We're told that on the ground
at the border today,
it's business as usual.
The two countries,
China and north Korea,
are separated by the Yalu river
that Chinese military skiffs
are patrolling China's side
of that river, as they often do.
Usually, they are
on high alert, especially...
Witaker's last message
and all
the G.P.S. Coordinates.
It's nothing but a lost
spot in the countryside.
He sent about
10 coordinates per day,
and we've looked everywhere
with no results.
Which means these coordinates
could be a security measure
in case of retrieval?
Yes, could be.
There is one thing.
The last day he sent
twice as many coordinates,
- as if...
- He felt hunted.
Welcome to my future...
Residence.
The renovations
will be completed soon.
I'll be right back.
To the end of the renovations.
You speak Korean?
I can speak
any language you like.
It's so nice to finally
meet someone out here
that speaks English.
Doesn't happen every day.
Your timing is perfect.
Ooh!
Protection time.
I'm going in.
Hey.
Hey, take it easy.
Park!
Relax, all right?
Stop it!
Stop it!
- Let go of me!
- Shh.
Shh.
Shh.
Shh.
- Do you speak English?
- Yes.
- What's your name?
- Gong.
- Gong, are you okay?
- No.
Put your clothes back on.
Who are you?
I'm on your side.
All right, she coming with us.
Who the hell are you?
We have to leave this place
before they get here.
- Who?
Them.
Oh sh*t!
No, no,
please don't! No!
No! No!
Let me go! No!
How do you like the design?
A smell of pee,
and a d*ckhead on the wall.
That's north Korea, right?
What language would
you like me to speak?
Korean? Chinese?
- Latin?
- English is the nearest I can manage.
What are you doing
in north Korea?
One hour ago, I was in China
and your friends took me here,
so you tell me.
What are you doing
in north Korea?
Vacation.
What are you doing
in north Korea?
Do you ask every
question three times?
I'd like to carry on
this interview peacefully.
Is it a job interview?
Thank you very much,
but I'm not interested.
Are you helping north Korean
