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
