Wait here.

Mr. Smith, I do not understand.

What is the job exactly?

Right now the job is to wait here.

Good evening.

- Hi. Looking for a date?

- I love your dress. Is that silk?

I don't know.

You want to know the prices?

Just the way it falls, it must be silk.

How it compliments

the natural curves of your body.

The rate is 40 euros for the standard.

Standard? Could you be more specific?

Back home, the standard covers

a range of possibilities.

Like kissing,

you know, closed lips, open lips.

- If you're not buying, piss off.

- I didn't say I wasn't buying.

I like to get comfortable

before I purchase.

Like this karaoke machine I bought.

I must have read that manual

from cover to cover so many times.

I don't give a sh*t. You're gonna

get me in trouble if you don't buy.

- Trouble? Really? With who?

- Piss off.

Okay, okay. Listen, I'm sorry.

If I want a package deal,

do I get a discount?

- You cost me two now.

- My name's Bryan.

- Oh, God. You better leave.

- I thought we were negotiating.

Anton, I swear, it's not my fault.

- I told him...

- Why are you bothering the girl?

- None of your business.

- She is my business.

And if you're not spending money,

you're costing money.

- I was negotiating.

- No negotiating. Price is the price.

Now you owe me

for two that got away.

I don't owe you nothing.

- Fifty euros or I kick your ass.

- Sure, sure, okay.

Chill.

Okay. Here's your 50.

And another 50 for being an a**hole.

Now get the hell out of here.

If I see you again, I'll kill you.

Mr. Smith, I do not know what kind of

job I'm supposed to do for you, but...

- You are to translate.

- Yes. But translate what?

This.

Translate.

- They're talking about you.

- What about me?

- They're not saying nice things.

- Be specific.

They're saying... Excuse me, Mr. Smith.

- what an a**hole you are.

Please, if you can explain to me

why we're doing this...

Just translate.

One of them says,

the sausage gave him heartburn.

Keep going.

The other one is suggesting something

his grandmother used to give him.

- Do you really want to hear all this?

- Every word.

Now they're talking about football.

The game between Lazio and Marseille.

And they lost money on the betting.

- Perhaps if I knew the purpose...

- You're better off not knowing.

Is it still football?

One is on the phone.

He has to do a job

at the construction site.

Something about fresh merchandise

giving problems.

Mr. Smith,

I do not understand any of this.

You're not supposed to. Goodbye.

I asked for an English-Albanian

dictionary, did you bring one?

Thank you.

I love you.

Where did you get this?

Where did you get this?

- I'm good.

- Who gave this to you?

- Who...? Who gave this to you?

- I'm good.

Hey.

Hey.

Come on.

Monsieur Allen, how are you?

Hello, Gilles. How's the wife?

Well, still in charge.

- Been a long time since I've seen you.

- Way too long.

- The usual accommodation?

- Plus one.

Yes?

- We need to talk.

- I'm listening.

Well, can't you come

and meet me first?

I can't see you. Where are you?

I can see you and hear you very well.

You can tell them

to stop jogging now.

Didn't think

I was gonna come down, did you?

I didn't think you were gonna

make such a mess.

I didn't have time to worry

about neatness.

- I know. You have 70 hours.

- Now I have 56.

No, now you have none.

My chief wanted to arrest you,

I convinced him to send you home.

Air France 001 leaves today at 2.

First class.

Courtesy of the French government

for past services rendered.

- And what about my daughter?

- I told you, I sit behind a desk now.

I take my orders from someone

who sits behind a bigger desk.

Come on, seven dead bodies,

three in hospital, a building destroyed.

Total chaos at the airport.

He wanted your ass in chains.

It's the best I could do, I'm sorry.

Sorry doesn't cut it, Jean-Claude.

Not this time.

You can't beat the state, Bryan.

You know that.

I'm not trying to.

I'm trying to save my daughter.

It was a trailer, not a building.

No, no, no. Leave it.

It's all right, it's fluids.

And medication

to counteract the drugs.

It's all right.

Where'd you get this?

Where did you get this jacket?

Did you get it from her?

Was it from this girl?

I didn't steal it.

- I was cold, she gave it to me.

- Where? Where did she give it to you?

- In the house.

- What house?

The house with the red door.

Sorry.

He said it was a party.

The girl who gave you this,

was she in the house?

She was nice.

I know.

She's my daughter.

I need to find this house.

Do you know where it is?

Paradise.

- Good morning.

- May I help you?

- I'm here to see your boss.

- No boss.

We're doing nothing wrong here.

One button,

and 30 agents will be here...

...before you have time

to scratch your balls.

Stop jerking around before

I close you down for wasting my time.

Wait here.

You have weapon?

You're holding it.

Black, one sugar, please.

What is it you want?

I'm here to negotiate the rates.

We already negotiated the rate

with Mr. Macon.

Mr. Macon has moved

to another division.

I'm here for the renegotiation.

Unless you think I'm being unreasonable,

let me explain ourselves.

Nice coffee. We have you under

satellite surveillance, 24 hours a day.

We hear everything you say,

we know everything you do.

Do you have any idea what it costs

just to change the angle...

...of the lens on a satellite

orbiting 200 miles above the Earth?

And those costs have gone up.

Our costs go up, your costs go up.

It's only logical.

By the way,

which one of you is Marko?

Why do you want to know?

I was told Marko is in charge.

We are all Marko.

Marko from Tropoja.

We are all from Tropoja.

If that's the game you want to play,

the rate just went up 10 percent.

If you are trying to extort us because

we are immigrants, we know the law.

I'm extorting you because

you are breaking the law.

Which charge would you

like to be arrested for?

Drugs, kidnapping, prostitution?

Take your pick.

You come to this country,

take advantage of it...

...and think because we are tolerant,

we are weak and helpless.

Your arrogance offends me.

For that,

the rate went up 10 percent.

Now, do you want to get down

to business or to keep playing?

- How much?

- Twenty percent.

And you have my word it'll not go up

for a year.

How do you say "sugar"

in your language?

You've made a very good investment,

gentlemen.

See you in a month.

A friend gave this to me.

It's Albanian. You mind translating it?

Good luck.

- Good luck.

- Good luck.

- Good luck. Good luck.

- Good luck.

You don't remember me.

We spoke on the phone

two days ago.

I told you I would find you.

Kim.

Amanda.

Wake up!

I need you to be focused.

Are you focused yet?

Where is this girl?

Where is she?

You know, we used to outsource

this kind of thing.

But what we found was the countries

we outsourced to...

...had unreliable power grids.
