Alright, you get some sleep.

I'm going to have to deal with

this, this uh... this criminal.

What's wrong?

Hmm?

The girls in that crate

were Sofia's age.

At least she has you

looking out for her.

Today I stared into a man's eyes

and knew nothing

was looking back.

How does that happen?

What date is it today?

Sh*t. I forgot.

Thirteen years.

Look I'll get you the most

beautiful roses in New York

tomorrow morning.

I promise.

You may forget, but I don't.

Happy anniversary.

What now?

Are you even...

It's Costello. I got to take it.

Yeah?

Hey Nick, it's Costello.

Listen, this is important.

I just got off the phone

with the Thai police in Bangkok.

Listen, Viktor Dragovic is...

Rosa!

Nick.

This is for our brother.

No!

Dad?

Sofia, get back.

- Ah!

Dad!

Please don't.

. ' Dad!

Jesus, Nick.

Nick, can you hear me?

It's Costello and Reed.

I know this is hard

and we're probably

the last two guys in the world

you want to talk to right now.

It's the wrong time and place.

Let's get out of here.

Nick?

Nick?

Rosa.

Sofia.

I'm sorry.

Nick.

Rosa and Sofia are dead.

Their bodies were consumed

by the blaze.

The firefighters found

you downstairs.

Dragovic?

He's gone.

Diplomatic pressure convinced

the judge to grant him bail.

As soon as he was on the street

he was in the air.

There was nothing we could do.

Russians wouldn't take him.

We think he's somewhere

in Thailand, maybe Cambodia.

Nick, you don't need to think

about this right now, man.

All the guys sent you this card

and I'm going to

put it right here.

There was a funeral.

How much did Dragovic

pay you counsel?

I'm a diplomat.

I have immunity!

I have a wife! Children!

So did I.

Where's Viktor?

' - Where?!

Poipet, Cambodia. Baby Doll.

Ah!

Vi ktor.

You have to move on.

There's nothing more I can do.

What do you mean?

Nothing more you can do.

The Americans are insisting,

and the Thai too.

They are applying heavy

political pressure.

I can't keep denying

that you are here forever.

There's only so much I can do

without them asking questions.

There can be political

consequences.

The woman in the photo,

she is not your wife.

And the girl in the next one?

She is about the same age

as your daughter.

0K!-

I'll try for two more weeks.

But then you must leave

for Laos.

That works.

Hey hey!

No running I said!

I want to put in place a plan

for you, my sons.

To take over the companies.

You, Goran, will oversee

all the operations

in Russia, Ukraine, Belarus.

Ivan, you will take over

Romania, Bulgaria, Hungary,

Czech Republic.

Both of you will oversee

expanding trafficking,

South East Asia.

Janko?

Oh, oh, oh!

Not bad huh?

I'm getting good!

I like a girl who can fight.

21 cuts, 7 cigarette burns.

How old were you when they took

you from Vietnam to Germany?

Twelve.

You know, I remember my mother

was really upset

because she only got $700

and not $1000.

Agent Reed is from the FBl's

human trafficking task force.

This is special branch major

Tony Vitayakul,

his partner, Captain Nung.

This is cell phone footage

shot by a guest

at a New York restaurant owned

by Viktor Dragovic's attorney.

Cambodia, Baby Doll.

Watch the background.

He took a plane to Dallas.

From there we tracked him

to Mexico City

where he could buy a fake

American passport

for under $1000.

But he bought it from a snitch

and you know how these

things pan out.

We think Nick is suffering

from a severe

psychological breakdown.

Nick's plane landed exactly

18 minutes ago.

I got lucky.

Cassidy's gone crazy.

He's gone insane.

He's on the south ramp.

He went that way.

You stay with Nung.

Get out of the way!

Get out of the way!

Ah!

Argh!

Ah!

Ah!

Yes?

Tony. He in Baby

Doll now.

We'll be there.

Okay, quick. I wait for you.

Be careful.

Where's Janko?

No Janko. No Janko.

No Janko.

No speak English.

Ah!

Where is he?

Where is he?

He's at the warehouse.

The warehouse, by the river.

Where he keeps his stock.

Stock?

Young girls.

Ah!

Get out.

OK!-

F*** this, stupid motherf***er.

The man you are looking for,

he is in Janko's office.

But Janko not here.

Get down!

Get down!

Put your gun down!

You killed Nung!

I didn't kill that cop.

I just want Viktor Dragovic

and his sons.

After that I don't care.

That cop was my friend.

Last chance.

Get back!

(gunsho?

Tony.

You get him?

You okay?

You hit?

Come on.

We're going to get this guy.

Just go.

You stay here.

I'll go check the tapes.

Ok.

Gotcha.

Have you found out who's

leaking the information

to the police?

Good.

We'll send someone for her now.

OK!-

Never underestimate a pervert.

Where's Janko?

Where is he?

He's

at the warehouse.

By the river.

Where he keeps his stock.

H 9Y-

Let's go.

Go, go, go!

Stay here.

Where's Janko?

(gunsho?

Ah!

You're not my brother.

You're the son of a whore

who f***ed everything up.

Father would never!

Father says goodnight.

Janko!

Where's Viktor?

Hey Janko!

Ah!

Get it over with.

The man you killed

had a wife and kid!

Another one coming in a month!

I told you I didn't kill him.

Reed shot him

with his own weapon

and gave it to me.

Down!

Tell me where your

father's going!

Yah!

Ah!

Janko! Can you hear me?

Where's your father gone?

Where?

Cheng... Cheng Chao.

Cheng Chao.

When did Dragovic get you?

Guess we all have our price,

Nick.

Look at the price you paid.

You should have got

with the program.

You think you two are

going to stop the skin trade

just because you run around

like f***ing boy scouts?

F*** you care about these girls?

They'll just rot wherever

they are anyway.

And you will rot in hell.

He mentioned an air strip.

Cheng Chao. You know it?

Cheng Chao.

The Cambodia border.

Hold still.

Why are you doing this?

You're hurt.

No, this.

Going to the border.

Probably getting

ourselves killed.

- It's my job.

- Bullshit.

You're talking to a cop here.

There's Min, my informant.

She's my girlfriend.

You know...

some of these

girls are just not kidnapped.

They are sold.

Sold by who?

Their parents.

Min was sold by her mother.

Now I think they got her

and they could do anything.

Mm.

I love people with scars.

We are the same, you and I.

Mm.

You have a very strong

heartbeat.

There is a musicality

to the rhythm.

Dum, dum. Dum, dum.

Dum, dum. Dum, dum.

We are not the same.

No?

No one with a heart

can do what you do.

Blood money is still money.

But nobody wants damaged goods.

Vi ktor.

Adieu.

' Ah!

Tony! The kids!

Listen, okay.

You see those trees?

I want you to run and hide

behind them.

I want you to look back.

Remember the faces of these men.

If something happens

your father or me,

it is your duty to do something

about it when you get older.

Remember. Now run!

Dad.

It is a helicopter.

You can watch me kill her.

Ah!

- Go.

- No, no, no.

Mister we aren't finished.

Go!

Too bad you'll never see

your daughter again.

Dolph Lundgren

Hans "Dolph" Lundgren (Swedish: [ˈdɔlf ˈlɵndgreːn] ( listen); born 3 November 1957) is a Swedish actor, director, screenwriter, producer, and martial artist. Lundgren received a degree in chemical engineering from the Royal Institute of Technology in the early 1980s and a master's degree in chemical engineering from the University of Sydney in 1982. He holds the rank of 3rd dan black belt in Kyokushin karate and was European champion in 1980-81. While in Sydney, he became a bodyguard for Jamaican singer Grace Jones and began a relationship with her. He received a Fulbright scholarship to MIT and moved to Boston. Jones convinced him to leave the university and move to New York City to be with her and begin acting, where, after a short stint as a model and bouncer at the Manhattan nightclub The Limelight, Lundgren got a small debut role as a KGB henchman in the James Bond film A View to a Kill, in which Jones starred. Lundgren's breakthrough came in 1985, when he starred in Rocky IV as the imposing Soviet boxer Ivan Drago. Since then, he has starred in more than 40 films, almost all of them in the action genre. He portrayed He-Man in the 1987 science fantasy film Masters of the Universe , Red Scorpion (1988) and Frank Castle in the 1989 film The Punisher. Throughout the 1990s he appeared in films such as Dark Angel (1990), Cover-Up (1991), Showdown in Little Tokyo (1991), Universal Soldier (1992), Joshua Tree (1993), Pentathlon (1994), Men of War (1994), Johnny Mnemonic (1995), The Shooter (1995), Silent Trigger (1996) and Blackjack (1998). In 2004 he directed his first film, The Defender, and subsequently directed The Mechanik (2005), Missionary Man (2007), Command Performance (2009), and Icarus (2010), also starring in all of them. After a long spell performing in direct-to-video films since 1995, Lundgren returned to Hollywood in 2010 with the role of Gunner Jensen in The Expendables, alongside Sylvester Stallone and an all-action star cast. He reprised his role in The Expendables 2 (2012) and The Expendables 3 (2014). Also in 2014, he co-starred in Skin Trade, an action thriller about human trafficking he co-wrote and produced. The film marks his third collaboration with Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa, the previous two being Showdown in Little Tokyo (1991) and Bridge of Dragons (1999). He is due to reprise his role as Gunner Jensen in The Expendables 4 (2020), and his Rocky IV role of Ivan Drago in the upcoming sequel to Creed.
