by the same realtor,

right here in Brussels.

The realtor just told you this?

- Yeah, I know, they're dying to lease it.

We gotta hurry, because it's Saturday

and the realtor gets busy.

I put this at viewing in 30 minutes.

Who you think you are, Sherlock Holmes?

I'm gonna go get my bag.

What about the previous occupant,

you ever meet him?

Mr. Wolf, he's running

an investment company.

Would you mind giving us a minute?

Sure.

I'll be in the car.

- Thank you.

Got an eye on her?

- Yeah.

Who is Markus Wolf?

- He's an East German cold-war spy master.

Somebody's idea of a joke.

Wait, so he's not even alive?

- No, he's been dead 5 years or so.

Looks like I was working for

some kind of proprietary.

What's a proprietary?

It's a shell company,

created to do one thing,

when in reality, it's doing

something completely different.

So wait, why would the CIA file

patents for a shell company?

Amy, quit with the questions

for a minute, okay?

Disconnection hasn't gone through yet.

Bingo!

I pulled up caller records on

Markus Wolf Investments.

Now, that office was closed yesterday,

but there was a call made from

there about an hour ago.

Ben.

We have to move.

Markus Wolf, suite 619.

Keep your eyes open.

Through the mirrors.

Remember...

- Corners are safe.

Don't be a smart ass.

You're my eyes and ears, okay?

Markus Wolf is your alias, huh?

That's cute.

What's next, Mata Hari?

You're making a big mistake!

There was no product

development team, was there, Derek?

There was no Halgate

security systems!

You got us hack into CIA!

Come on.

Why?

For what?

Who are you working for?

Get outta here while you still can, Ben.

Go where, you son of a b*tch!

You gotta start talking, pal.

You put my daughter's life in danger.

I want answers!

She said it was a simple operation.

Who's she?

- She told them to hire you.

She said we never recover

the documents without you.

Recover what documents?

Recover what documents?

- Dad!

In the canister on the couch.

Wait outside. Go on!

Wait outside, go on!

I got a family, too.

This was gonna be my pension.

If I die, they'll look after my family.

- Who will look after your family?

The Agency.

You were CIA?

- Shoot me!

Dad!

- Shoot me!

Come here.

Get the room searched.

Ben!

Go back!

Go!

Over here!

Get up!

Come on, get over!

Stand down!

I said, stand down!

He's one of us, for Christ sakes!

Ben?

Whatever is going on,

we can figure it out.

We can protect you.

Both of you.

Ben?

Ben?

Back off!

Put 'em down!

Stand back.

Kick 'em away!

What have you got me involved with, Anna?

You've got this all wrong.

You gotta trust me.

- Dad, get in!

Get back!

They'll find you.

They'll kill you.

They'll kill her!

I can help you go home.

- Dad, get in the car!

No, listen to me, please!

- Why?

You stood by six months ago and

watched the Committee burn me.

Stood by? You were part if a kill squad!

You questioned your orders!

I was the one who stopped

them from killing you.

Dad, get in the car!

Give me the bag, Ben.

You're good, Anna.

You're very good.

Ben!

Go!

Who is she?

- Who taught you to drive?

No, who is she?

Just someone I used to work with.

CIA.

What are you doing?

- Don't lie to me, I'm not an idiot, I saw you.

Slow down, Amy.

What's a kill squad?

What's a kill squad?

Slow down, Amy!

Amy, brakes!

I kill people.

That's what a kill squad is all about,

killing people.

The dirty work.

The things that have to be done.

The things nobody wants to do.

I did these things.

I never wanted my daughter to find out.

You didn't come back for me.

I did!

You've came to me, because

you had nowhere else to go.

I had friends.

I had a life, dad!

You brought me

to a foreign country,

lied, to get me here.

You lied to me about everything.

Why couldn't you just leave me alone?

Amy!

Amy!

Amy!

Amy!

Amy!

I need a telephone.

A telephone.

Hello?

Grandpa?

Amy, oh my God, are you okay?

I've been trying to call you.

Where are you?

Grandpa, I wanna come home.

You sound terrible.

Is everything alright?

Amy?

Hello?

Hey, you!

I'm talking to you!

They killed my brother in front

of my five year old niece!

They were looking for you!

I want their names!

I want to know who they are!

I want them dead!

So do I.

They took Amy.

Get in the car!

Altheon X-135 solid state.

"Xyston TA-20" Polemarch.

What's a "Polemarch"?

Polemarch.

It's a radar tracking system.

It's parts inside IAT drone defense system.

That cargo ship was carrying U.S. made weapons.

For Mozambique.

...necessary conditions to secure business...

Lithium.

What's a Lithium?

- Next generation technology.

Nuclear power.

Mobile telecommunications,

electric cars, that kind of thing.

Halgate Group.

Anna.

What about Amy?

I thought we were trying to find her.

"James Halgate III."

We just did.

Hello?

You know what I have?

I'm listening.

Gare du Nord, Platform 4, one hour.

Hello?

There's a train, Platform 5.

Get on it.

Front carriage.

Go!

Over there!

Get off the train, now.

There's a train pulling into Platform 8.

Hurry.

Rear compartment.

That's the Anna I know.

I see you've been selling your

services to The Halgate Group.

How long has Halgate been

reaching into the CIA?

How long have you been

in bed with him, Anna?

All the way back to Somalia?

No.

No.

I'll never forget the first

day you showed up in Somalia.

Ready to set the world on fire.

We stood for something.

We believed we could change the world.

What do you believe in now, Anna?

I believe you should have listened to me.

I told you,

these people will sop at nothing

to get what they want.

How did you become everything

we fought against?

It's just business, Ben.

It's my daughter's life!

Just give them what they want.

Oh, yeah, yeah.

And then we'll be safe, huh?

Yeah.

I can't.

I want you to go your boss, your

real boss, with a message.

I know who he is.

I know where he's gonna be.

If he has her, I want her.

If he's harmed her,

he's dead.

It was the only one I could find.

Would it do?

Oh, yeah.

Thank you, Nabil.

That's perfect.

James Halgate III has

arrived in the Belgium

courthouse today in an effort

to settle the longstanding

class action suit against his company.

The suit was put forth

by the bereaved families of

those who lost loved ones,

when the ship owned by

The Halgate Group, The Serenity,

sank off the coast of Belgium.

Ms Pieters,

I am deeply sorry for your loss.

I hope you will accept

our offer of support

in your hour of need.

Is there a settlement

I don't know about?

No, I'm sorry,

I don't comment.

I'm sorry, no comment.

Thank you very much.

I'll catch you later.

For you!

I'll talk to you later.

Thank you very much.

Your boss comes alone.

When I know she's safe,

you'll get your evidence.

I'm listening.

Keep this phone on you.

I'll text you a time and a place.

Hold it!

I told you to wait!

- I need to speak to him.
