precious information that you would kill for?

And kill, and kill again, until you obtained it.

I'm sure you believe your mission is just.

You're obviously very good at what you do,

and you would never kill a man for no reason.

And that's why they gave you a reason.

They fed you a reason.

And now you're doing exactly

what they want you to do.

I've never killed anyone who wasn't guilty

of the sentence I gave them.

Of course.

Truth with lie... lie with truth.

So how do you know all this?

Because I used to be a pawn for them.

Just like you are now.

And I worked for them quite willingly.

Until I asked a question.

And once you start asking questions, well...

Then your time is limited, or you have less time.

Because every job for the Executive...

is temporary.

So what exactly did you do?

What does that matter?

They needed to keep me alive and

they found a way to ensure that.

But you're widowed.

Your daughter studied abroad.

They killed your wife!

They holding your daughter!

Maybe you should have a seat.

- This is the girl I came here for.

- Beautiful.

In the School?

- You know of the School?

- Oh yes.

I know of many such places, they're all fronts.

They use them to extort and blackmail people.

Every room has a camera and microphone,

completely covered.

Then why would they have me close it down?

There was a woman there, she gave me your name.

- And they tried to kill me.

- But they couldn't.

Circumstances changed. They still want you kill,

but events created new opportunity.

And the woman who mentioned my name...

she would've been told that I was

the reason the girl was moved.

They all would've been told that...

because no one had any idea

who you would interrogate.

And as to why the wanted you

to close that place down...

well, because you're a pawn

in Executive's chess game.

A sacrifice for the greater strategy.

Maybe they wanted some people silenced,

maybe they wanted some people in their pocket.

I don't know.

What I do know, unfortunately is - whatever

business of theirs you disrupt...

they have many others to go to.

- But the girl - she's real.

- Oh yes, she's real. They are all real.

They are merely actors on a stage

that the Executive created.

I still need to find her.

She could be anywhere, my friend.

I made a promise.

Then, you need to get the Executive

to reveal where the girl is.

Sure. But how do I do that?

By getting the girl to lead you to the place

where the Executive wants you to be.

That's the next step after killing me.

- But I broke that plan.

- Yes, you did.

But they don't need to know that.

Bradley has activated his phone again.

Of course he has.

He wants us to know exactly where he is.

Bravo, Bradley, excellent work!

Andries was a tricky shot.

I know, because... we considered it.

- This ends now...

- Really?

Aborting the mission?

You have uncompleted objectives, Bradley.

This isn't like you.

Andries didn't just think that you sent me.

Tried to make a deal for his life.

Gave me some data.

- That's interesting.

- Not as interesting as it'll be when I...

make a dozen copies and send them

to every newspaper and police agency.

Well, that would be a pity.

A pity for Andries' daughter, for Anna's sister...

Never met them. They mean nothing to me.

Come, come, Bradley!

That little rampage you just threw

across few cities,

was all that just a slab for a cheap whore?

Look... we both hold something

that each of us wants.

It would save us both a lot

of time and nerve, if you simply...

exchange.

How do I know I can trust you?

You don't.

How do I know you won't copy

and distribute that information?

We just gonna have to trust each other,

good buddy. Simple as that.

- I'll need proof before I show up, anyway.

- So will I.

[...] diamond merchant, Jacob Andries, was found

dead this evening, on the floor of his hotel suite.

Police refuses to confirm details, but we

understand this to be a murder investigation.

An unconfirmed buzz of Andries been found,

apparently slain, on the floor of his apartment...

They'll be waiting for you this time,

they not gonna make the same mistake twice.

If I may... what got you into all this?

Like you said... does it matter?

It does if the Executive has something

he can use against you.

I've seen...

I've done some pretty... terrible

things in my life.

I always believed it was for a just cause,

so I could live with it.

Now when I look in the mirror,

what I see is just another murderer.

You danced with the devil, my friend.

I can't make right the things that done wrong.

Maybe I can make some

[repayment], do some good.

This is your penance.

That was your weakness,

That's what the Executive will hold against you.

- What if there was any other way?

- There is no other way.

They have my daughter and the girl

you're looking for.

I'm asking you to bring both of them back.

Just means more deaths.

Remember, my friend...

Death himself is an angel.

"Thou has seen my sin...

now judge down my cause".

(~ Lamentations 3:59)

I'm gonna need some supplies.

My contact has already taken care of that.

What seems to be the trouble?

What's the trouble?

One of guys has introduced a cut to

my [regular] salary, that's the trouble.

And my monthly bonus got canceled,

along with Sergei and his boss.

We were most grateful for your assistance.

This is a one-off?

- Want a monthly retainer.

- A retainer?

We only pay...

when service is rendered.

Yeah. And my services are rendered when I ask for.

If you want it to stay that way - then

that's how it works.

Unfortunately... that's not how we work.

We put you in touch with East Europeans.

If you stay patient...

we'll supply a new client.

Yeah, that's all about patience, isn't it?

You can't cash it in the bank.

You know, I've played this just

the way you wanted it,

and it netted me absolutely nothing!

So what I'm saying...

- it stands to you to cover my losses.

- Cover your losses?

Brookes.

Have you ever heard a story of the magic vase,

the story of a genie in a bottle?

In the most tellings...

the genie grants three wishes,

and only three wishes.

And then puff... she vanishes.

In the Chinese version, however...

the genie sticks around.

She warns people of the limited three wishes,

but people - people being people.

Just can't help themselves.

They always go for that - fourth wish.

Except...

fourth wish...

is greed...

it undoes all the other wishes.

And the wisher...

goes straight to Hell.

Greed will kill you.

I'm sure you'll find everything you need.

They'll be calling any moment.

They won't give you very much time,

30 - 35 minutes at the most.

Whatever they do offer, don't accept,

because the next...

- Where is my proof?

- Do you have access to the net?

Yeah.

Kara.

Means nothing.

This could've been recorded any time.

Are you reassured now, Bradley?

Do we have a deal?

Yeah...

Yeah, we've got a deal.
