influence, power, broads, pick one.

You didn't come here

for me, did you?

Unfortunately, Bruno, I did.

Hey...

BLUE:
But remember, they

all have kids just like you.

Use it or lose it, cowboy.

Where'd you get my keys?

I boosted your spare set

while you were out.

Made a copy

and put them back

before you noticed

they were gone.

You are a sophisticated,

grown-up spy.

Yes, I am.

Somebody had a

very busy night.

Well, news travels fast, huh?

It's the Old Man.

He hears everything.

Sometimes before it even happens. Wow.

Blood wasn't

even dry downtown

before the Old Man

knew you had pulled the stunt.

He was very pleased.

I say you were lucky.

Well, that's 'cause

you're jealous.

A bonus from the Old Man.

I told him you don't deserve

it, but he doesn't listen to me.

You're not ready again?

Jesus Christ.

Jesus Christ.

You know, I tried praying to him

one time. I think I'm beyond hope.

Listen, Liz said you stopped

by the house last week.

You wanted to see me?

Yeah.

What it is, there's

a guy called Blue,

that's not a real name,

that's a nickname of some kind,

but he's into some bad stuff

and I wanted to see what

I could find out about him.

Okay. Well, he's none of mine,

but I'll run him.

(MUSIC PLAYING

THROUGH HEADPHONES)

My contact left the twig in the

park. This is what has the chip.

It's going to Shanghai.

It's got the schematics

for the new fighter jet.

Make sure it gets to my man

in Shanghai tonight.

You take care, you take care.

I don't want to hear

anything more about this.

This ain't a lot of fun.

Police officer, I want

to ask you some questions.

How can I help you?

(SCREAMING)

Get away from me, man.

Who sent you?

(GROANING)

Who sent you?

He was six feet tall.

He's clean shaven. Wears a

blue suit. Arrogant prick.

Thank you very much for that.

Hey, Matt, bottles

don't shoot back.

You set me up.

Bullshit.

Hey, easy, Matt.

I'm on your side, remember?

You know, the individuals

that I interviewed

after giving them

a severe talking-to

gave me a very

nice description

of somebody that looks

exactly like you.

Well, you know, they said

extremely unattractive,

light skinned gentleman, dressed

well, but ugly as a son of a b*tch.

Oh, jeez, that's only me

and maybe a few hundred

thousand other guys in this city.

You know what, Blue?

They was talking about you.

At the time you were

probably f***ing drunk.

You better straighten your ass

out, Matt. You got a job to do.

The guy I showed you,

we wanted him dead yesterday.

And it's almost tomorrow.

You're right.

I got to get on top of my

game, and I'm working on it.

(KNOCKING ON DOOR)

Matt.

Hey, baby, how you doing?

Hi, Becky's in school.

Yeah, well, I didn't really

come to see Becky.

Steve was off today and

I wanted to see him.

Yeah, you should have called.

Well, you know,

sometimes when I do that,

he kind of makes up

some bullshit excuse

about what he can't do

and stuff, you know.

That's not what I meant.

It's just... Steve isn't here.

He had something

he needed to take care of,

so I'm afraid you came up

for nothing.

No, I didn't. I got to see

you. And you're looking good.

You always could

lay it on thick.

(SIGHS)

Do you want some coffee?

I'll take a rain check

on that.

You know, you could stay for

dinner. Steve will be home by then,

and then you could talk about

whatever it is that's bothering you.

Yeah, unfortunately,

this won't wait.

Okay.

(MEN CHATTERING)

Is Steve around?

What, do you need

another favor?

No, I need my balls scratched,

can you help me?

Steve's the man for that,

he's in his office.

All right.

What the f*** is

he doing here?

What's all this?

Well, this is my division.

Roving task force.

We get assignments, six months,

a year, we go where they send us.

Organized crime,

drug dealers, whatever.

Well, you know, it's about

time you get your honors.

You got passed up

for a long time,

so I'm glad it's finally

happening for you, that's good.

Yeah.

That's nice.

Let's walk.

So I ran Blue through NCIC, both

as a real name and as an aka.

and the other 50% are so small

that you can't even see them.

Something tells me that the guy

you're looking for is not small-time.

Yeah, I wouldn't think so.

What else you got?

Well, I don't even know

if I should tell you this.

If it was hearsay it'd be more

solid. But I did some checking around.

I know a guy, a fed,

real solid guy, I trust him.

And he asked back

and came back with somebody

who knew somebody

who knew somebody

who used to know a guy

who called himself that. Blue.

Uh-huh.

And what did somebody

who knows somebody

who knows somebody

have to say?

He says this Blue is a very

serious man. A kind of ghost.

The kind of guy that if

you had his latent prints

you couldn't match them to any

database because they don't exist.

Look, Matt,

just watch yourself.

I don't want to have to be the

guy that tells your daughter

that I had to fish you out

of the river some night.

You got a lot of nerve

showing your face around here

after what Steve did for you,

you got some set of balls.

If I want any lip out of you

I'll rip it off your f***ing face.

(MUTTERING ANGRILY)

What the f*** is

wrong with you?

Sir, I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

So what's the connection?

Connection between what?

Bruno, Ling, the Old Man.

Word of advice, you've been

in this game long enough.

The Old Man says you do

a thing, you do the thing.

Speaking of which, game time.

See this guy?

Mmm-hmm.

He's our asset in there.

He owes us a favor. He's going

to meet you in the kitchen.

You go down that alley, third door

on the left, it's going to be open.

You go up to the second floor.

Is there going to be any folks in there

that are kind of unhappy to see me?

Of course.

Now, once you get past Ling's boys,

you're going to come to these stairs.

At the top you're going

to find a private room.

In that private room you're

gonna find Mr. Ling getting laid.

Though by the time you get to him,

he'll probably be soiling his sheets.

And, Matt, one more thing.

Yeah?

Once you've gotten by Mr. Ling... Yeah?

I want you to do our asset.

Man, that's just...charming.

(SIGHS)

(SPEAKING IN JAPANESE)

(SPEAKING IN CANTONESE)

Can I sit down?

You really think I'm gonna

waste my time with you, gweilo?

Sh*t. Motherf***er.

(TIRES SQUEALING)

(PANTING PASSIONATELY)

(WOMAN GROANING)

(SPEAKING IN JAPANESE)

F***!

Let me take a look at that.

It's in and out, man,

you gonna be okay.

I'll patch you up

at the Old Man's.

It's friendly.

It's friendly, Matt,

it's friendly.

Just let me explain, Matt.

Ain't no motherfuckers around here

telling the truth, ain't that right?

Matt.

Can you just

let me explain?

Something troubling you?

Who's Drea?

Drea?

Drea's a woman that you

slept with. That's Drea.

You all had to get somebody close,

up and close on the inside, huh?

So you just got one over

on me right away.

I don't think
