The Art of War Page #6

Any connection between Wu's murder,

Chan, the Triads and Hooks...

...would kill the trade agreement.

Holy sh*t.

And completely destabilize the UN.

Damn it, that's it. That's it!

All she has to do is come clean.

Tell the truth.

Truth?

Yeah, the truth about me, about the UN

covert operations unit, everything.

She pins the assassination on you

to discredit the UN?

Taking out the one organization

that could hold it all together.

Back to a cold war.

Give me your business card.

Hello.

Roll your window down so I can see.

Jesus!

Security's not where they're

supposed to be.

Neither am I.

Cappella.

Its for you.

Yes.

Well, I have a proposition for you.

Come on, sweetheart.

All right, you want to play.

Let's have some fun.

The Art of War.

Sun Tzu.

Chapter 13:

"The Doomed Spy"

Does any of this ring a bell?

"Sacrificing an agent

without his knowledge...

"...can turn the battle in your favor."

"Befriending you, gaining your trust..."

"...all the while setting you up

to take the fall."

You disappointed me, Shaw.

You were always one step behind.

I've got to tell you, my friend.

By the time we're done with you...

...you're gonna make Lee Harvey Oswald

look like a f***ing boy scout.

But first, we're gonna have a short class

on Pacific Rim social economics.

Specifically:
The effect of

negative Chinese population density...

...and how it relates to

the African-American world view.

In other words, you're gonna watch me

put a bullet in little Miss Shanghai here.

Sh*t.

I was thinking, neighborhood rules.

Sounds good to me.

It's nice when an opponent

raises the level of play.

You're too kind.

No, I'm not.

There's still one left in the chamber, amigo.

Tell me, master.

What are you gonna do now, huh?

Move.

You all right?

Hello?

Get me out of here!

Hello!

Here's your paper.

Have a nice day, Miss Hooks.

Dramatic.

I'm just reading about your handiwork.

Yeah, well, I was thinking of yours.

You betrayed me, Eleanor.

Shaw.

I thought our Eastern associates would've

made arrangements for you by now.

Well, staying alive is what you pay me for.

But I'm curious.

What makes you think what you did

to Chan won't happen to you?

I don't like to speak ill of the dead...

...but between you and me,

and whoever's listening...

...David Chan was a self-inflated,

pig-headed a**hole...

...who no doubt deserved

whatever came his way.

As for you, Shaw...

...well, you're still alive.

You just remember, Eleanor...

...what goes around, comes around.

Sore loser.

Max, you missed the entrance.

Eleanor Hooks was my right-hand man.

She was my mentor.

She taught me

that a successful road to peace...

...is founded on a principle of action,

not reaction.

She said that if what I believed

to be the destiny...

...of the United Nations is to be fulfilled,

then we could not afford to wait around...

...and then react to

a member nation's call for help.

We have to anticipate

to diffuse volatile national...

...and international conditions

before they became explosive.

Before they led us to catastrophe.

So it is in the memory of Eleanor Hooks...

Freeze!

...that I pledge the commitment

of this organization...

...to a policy of intervention,

a policy of leadership...

...a policy of aggressive peacekeeping.

Down on your knees!

Call the coroner.

-Ca va bien, Madame?

-Oui, oui.

Merci.

C'est la vie.

Excuse me, do I know you?

No, I don't think so.

Do I know you?

Maybe it was in another lifetime

or something.

-So... have you eaten?

-I have not.
