We can only trust

the cops that I know.

And right now,

I don't know how many

of them are left alive.

[knocking]

Kirkpatrick. Line 2.

I got it!

Tell me you got

the woman, Max.

What the hell

is going on?

What's going on?

Bean and g are dead.

God.

Where the hell

are you?

Not on the phone.

What are you saying?

Somebody knows

every move we make.

I ain't saying sh*t till

I know who I can trust.

You listen up, Max.

I'm not f***ing around!

You're bringing her in now!

You should

call the suits.

We don't need

the goddamn suits,

Kirkpatrick!

Got it.

Kirkpatrick.

Nice Irish name

for our cop.

Let's see what

he's made of.

Ah, here we go.

One life

about to end.

If there's a chance

anybody's dirty,

We need to call in

the feds.

Who said anything

about dirty cops?

Max, give us

an hour.

Where?

Where I used to go

on Friday nights.

This is bullshit!

If you live through this,

Max, you're f***ing fired!

You just make sure

you bring the feds,

You understand, Louis?

Don't worry,

buddy.

Watch your 6.

How long

to police headquarters?

5 minutes.

Go south.

[honking]

[telephone rings]

Forensics.

Jodi, it's Max.

Hey,

don f***ing Johnson.

I need a favor,

OK?

I never lend money

to family.

I need a make

on a shell.

Like I need

my beauty sleep.

What do you got?

Center fire shell,

Copper wash

with a brass primer

And a red surround.

Looks like a 12-gauge,

but it's marked "33."

Ever heard of a "33"?

No such number.

There's no such zone.

You got a phantom

cartridge there, cuz.

Well, a phantom cartridge

blew away 2 of my crew.

I-I'm sorry, Max.

Uh, look,

The arms world's like

the jersey shore.

It throws up

new sh*t every day.

I'll run it right now.

Call me in an hour?

Yeah.

Where are you taking me?

My partner used

to moonlight here

As a security guard.

Hey, don't worry.

Everything's going

to be all right.

I wish I could

believe that.

Lieutenant Meyerson.

Baker. FBI.

Congratulations.

This is detective Aragon.

He'll be taking you

to the pickup point.

[speaking Spanish]

[shouting in Spanish]

Hey...

Come on.

The word for tonight

is "inconspicuous,"

All right?

[tires screeching]

Where the hell

are you taking us?

I'll tell you

when we get there.

Just have your guy

stay close.

You OK?

Kirkpatrick:

This the guy?

Agent baker.

Where's the woman?

Show me your I.D.

Y'all don't have

to screw with me, son.

Your partner's

taken care of all that.

Let me

see the badge.

OK?

Now, where is she?

Cruise the perimeter.

Make sure this is

the only way in and out.

Howdy, ma'am.

Are you OK?

I'm with the FBI.

You're safe now.

It's OK.

Detective Aragon,

ride in the other car.

Louis:
I'll be right

behind you, Max.

[coughing]

Why don't you just

put that thing out?

Seat belts

for safety.

Right.

Hold the wheel,

will you?

Yeah.

[cursing in Russian]

Oh, sh*t!

Come on! Let's go!

Unh.

[groans]

Come on, come on!

Stay down!

If it wasn't for you,

I'd remember

where I parked my c--

Hey!

What the hell just happened

back there?

I got my best friend

killed, that's what.

How is it your fault?

I'm the one

who called in the FBI,

And that wasn't

the FBI.

Who were they, then?

I don't know.

I did everything I could.

I checked their I.D.'s.

These guys are perfect.

[speaking Russian]

Kazak:
Fail again,

I'll kill you myself.

Now get in.

You got any cash?

I have a credit card.

This is a good place

to hole up.

Looks big and busy,

And they won't

remember faces.

Stay right here.

Idiots. They use

a credit card again.

Typical Americans.

You got them?

Raleigh Hotel.

1775 Collins avenue.

10 minutes from here,

colonel.

[ringing]

Forensics.

It's me. Listen.

What if this 33

on the bullet

Isn't numbers?

What if it's

alphabet letters,

Like Greek or Hebrew?

You're not as stupid

as you look.

Give me some time.

I'll call you back.

Great. They gave us

the wrong goddamn key!

It doesn't need brawn.

[beep beep]

Finesse.

Oh, no, you don't.

No time for rest.

I need some answers.

Come on, did you

hear me? Get up.

I need your help.

We got to figure

this out.

OK, OK, OK.

OK.

All right, listen.

You're a lawyer, right?

Yes.

You got a lot

of clients?

A lot of cases?

This has to be connected

to one of your cases, right?

It's possible.

Maybe you sent somebody away

who's back for revenge.

Max, I don't do

criminal law.

I do civil law.

Small claims,

green cards,

Mom-and-pop

grocery stores.

Nobody gets killed

over that.

Oh, no?

3 of my friends were

just killed over "that,"

Remember?

That's 3 families

wake up tomorrow

Without

a goddamn father!

And I have to live

with that.

So do I.

So, genius,

You ever piss off

the KGB?

KGB?

Look, the Russian letter

for "z" looks like a "3,"

So "33" is "zz,"

Which means

zapedny zahvoet.

It means

"death to the west."

They were based in Cuba

to strike western targets--

They being

KGB "away" teams.

Go on.

They were the navy s.E.A.L.S.

Of the spy world--

Wet works, black bag jobs,

Electronic surveillance.

Very versatile.

If it was bad,

they did it.

F*** "did."

they're doing.

And they're

right on my ass.

Avoid leaving any

electronic footprints.

They can reach into your home

and pick your nose for you.

Remember the Russian spy ships

we used to read about?

These guys

used to work on them.

They are heavy into

electronic surveillance.

That's why their federal

I.D.'s were so perfect.

They must've done it

with computers.

Look, never mind, Max.

You got family here.

If you need a hand,

Most of us are armed

and dangerous.

Thanks, cuz.

You're a lifesaver,

Even without

the artillery.

KGB...

Computers...

They found the safe house.

How the hell did they find

the safe house?

The phone lines.

[ring]

[ring]

[ring]

Quarter of a million...

Cash.

What?

For the girl.

Never f***ing happen.

Half a million.

Just walk away.

Kate, come on!

We got to get moving!

These bastards are

on the phone lines!

Phone lines...

Eeny meeny miny moe.

Let's see if you have

your ears on now,

You son of a b*tch.

He's using

the hotel phone.

I'll trace it back

to the other party.

Stop-n-shop.

[ring]

I know you're out

there listening,

You motherf***er.

F*** you calling

motherf***er?

You'll never get the girl,

you understand?

I already got

your girl, earl.

I f***ed her

last night,

And she was good!

Big f***ing mistake,

killing my crew.

Big f***ing mistake.

Want to know why?

'cause I'm going

to come back

And get

every last one of you.

That's an empty threat,

Mr. Kirkpatrick.

You have no idea

who we are.

Why not drop the bullshit

American accent then?

I...Beg your pardon?

Man, f*** you,

F*** whoever else

on the line.

Bring your ass here.

Do svedanya, a**hole.

Dos for what?

Do svedanya,

a**hole?

Dos for--

man, f*** you!

Clever bastard!

You in?

I've isolated

the floor security,

Not the room.

Well, do them all!

Come on, let's go.
