Don't fail.

-You alone?

-Yeah.

-You sure?

-Yeah. As sure as l can be.

All right, so talk to me.

Talk to me about the safe house.

What's to tell?

The team came to pick you up...

...and ran into a street

full of toe tags.

lt was well-planned.

-They had a lot of good information.

-l'm doing background checks.

People are asking a lot of questions

about you, Griff.

What? lf l can be trusted?

They're worried

about your procedures.

-ls the girl safe?

-l'm the safest thing she's got.

She's the only thing you got.

Your ass is on the line.

lf l wanted to disappear,

l would've been gone a long time ago.

How do you wanna do this?

l'll grab Cominski,

we get the hell out of Dodge.

You pick the flight.

Just you. Nobody else.

-Flint's not gonna like this.

-Flint's not getting shot at, is he?

-What happened to Dimitru?

-Don't worry about Dimitru.

You just focus on this.

They say before you die,

your life flashes before your eyes.

My life flashes before me every day.

I've died a thousand deaths.

Okay, sweetie,

why don't you greet our guests.

We need the girl alive.

Room 1 8.

Griffith, what was that?

There goes our deposit

for room 1 8.

Time to go.

What's it lik e to kill?

You aim the gun,

then pull the trigger.

Get up, Griff.

Nadia?

Get after him.

Looks like your friend screwed us.

Or is suicide part of your plan?

-We were nearly killed.

-Nearly doesn't count.

Keep your head down.

Better find a place to hold up

for tonight.

Dinner, entertainment,

then back to your place.

You know how

to impress a girl, Griffith.

l like to make a good impression

on a first date.

Keep your head down.

What do you do on a second date?

l don't get too many second dates.

This is Ana Komancz, TQ V TV.

Under terror alert. A bomb

has exploded in a Bucharest motel.

The police are looking

for a black man and a woman...

...seen running from the scene.

l don't believe this. Now we got

a terrorist in our own organization.

Talk to Dimitru.

l want everything he's got

on Bostanescu.

All right.

-What do you got?

-Nothing, to be honest.

Pickup team is clean.

Everybody involved is basically clean.

There's a few tax evasions

and a little undeclared earnings...

...but certainly nothing

to sell out over.

l want you to check into....

Hang on a second.

You have got to be

f***ing joking me.

You want a ticket back to the show,

you have to break a few eggs.

l understand. But that is exactly

how l got thrown out of the Hill.

Just do it.

And keep it under your hat.

You still don't trust me?

l'm beginning to think you like

bondage more than you should.

-Any movement?

-Not even his bowels.

You got somebody

covering the back?

All right. Tell them

we're going to the front door.

-We're going after Dimitru.

-Stay there.

We're in position.

Who the hell are you?

Where the f*** is Dimitru?

l have had just about enough

bullshit for one day.

That looks bad.

Very admirable, you coming here

instead of going to hospital.

Good boy. That's family for you.

He ambushed us.

All of you?

One man ambushed all of you?

-Where is she?

-l don't know.

l don't know.

Do you know what hardest thing

is for owner to do?

To accept when one of his players

has become a liability to the team.

Your mother will weep.

Find her.

Please. Please.

Don't be so stupid.

l'm the only friend you got.

l f***ing call you, they show up.

How does that happen?

l had to tell someone.

-Who?

-Flint.

-Why?

-Because. Because l have a job.

l have a career.

A f***ing pension and a family.

l'm not a cowboy like you.

There's a chain of command.

Goddamn it, l'm in the system.

-l'm sorry.

-Oh, you're sorry?

You're sorry?

Sorry, you get something on Flint.

What, he's gonna drop to his knees

and confess? He's a ClA station chief.

-l need evidence.

-Then you get some.

All right.

Dimitru gave us the slip.

And how the hell did he do that?

He had a decoy at the house,

then they pulled the switch.

What about Bostanescu,

we got something on him or not?

What do you want me to do, arrest him

without a witness or evidence...

...on Cowboy Johnny's word?

Have you been outside this week?

They'd lynch us.

His soccer team is playing

in the national playoff...

...tomorrow at his stadium.

You do know that, don't you?

This is not looking good

in Washington.

l don't need you to remind me of that,

Agent Shepard.

l may work here,

but l'm not from here.

Call me if and when

Griffith contacts you.

Don't run off.

Still afraid l might do that.

How could l ever live without you?

Be careful, Griffith.

You're in danger of being nice to me.

Lucky me.

My life has been a real blast

ever since we met.

l have the feeling your life

was like that before you met me.

Not every day.

What can l do to help?

l'm not very good at stealing cars

or making bombs...

...but l can put some food together.

Great.

So, what's the story with this friend?

l'm not very impressed so far.

l got kicked out of the ClA

because of him. He owes me one.

We'll give him until the morning

to sort things out...

...and then we'll take off,

back to New York.

Why do you have to go to court?

Somebody died

and they wanna blame it on me.

Who died?

A man.

A very bad man...

...that l was supposed to get next to

and get some information.

lsn't that your job?

Yeah, well, he found out

some information too.

About his wife, about me.

So he shot her.

And you shot him.

Why are you taking all these risks

to protect me?

lt's in the blood.

Father was a cop.

He told me life is about choices.

You make a choice, you pick a side.

You pick a side,

you protect it with your life.

Besides, who would l have

to argue with if l gave you up?

You should be nice to me, anyway,

because l'm cooking for you.

-Shepard.

-Shepard, it's Mitchel.

I think they're onto me.

I've had to get out of the building.

Can you meet me at the casino

in 20 minutes, on Forksal 1 9?

l'll be there.

l've got all that. l need more.

l need it all.

l can't trust anyone.

l need your help.

This guy is in it up to his neck.

Listen to this.

Bostanescu has been

paying off Flint.

Bostanescu owns Flint?

Take my word for it.

Everything l found is on this disk.

-Do you have another copy of this?

-Yeah, of course.

-lt's good work.

-F*** ''good work,'' Shepard.

l don't want a merit badge.

l just want you to get this guy before

he has me killed, understand?

-Take it easy, Mitchel.

-No, you take it easy, okay?

Go play your goon games

or whatever you feel you need to do...

-...just catch these guys, okay?

-All right.

-Okay.

-And, Shepard, watch your back.

Thank you.

-Give me the disk.

-What disk?

This is real.... l....

l almost feel normal.

Do you think l will ever have

a normal life?

With 30 million?

Sure.

Look, we're gonna get through this.

This time tomorrow,

you'll start a whole new life.

You won't be in that life, will you?

Well, that's just not smart.

Stupid and dangerous.
