Good morning, Mr. Bryce.

I trust the pickup ran smoothly.

Hand-off was clean.

No stops till the exit point.

Clear roads all the way, chief,

just as you predicted.

Thank you for agreeing

to an earlier departure time,

Mr. kurosawa.

I'm honored that you and your wives

have entrusted

a triple-a protection service today.

Moving red to green option,

coming in on your vector.

Get the engine started,

I want an immediate takeoff.

Air space has already been cleared.

Roger that.

All channels moving

to restricted air space.

Shall we?

Mr. kurosawa...

Another

triple-a delivery, sir.

Stay with him

till he's airborne.

- Yes, sir.

- Canvas is clear?

Nothing for miles, chief. Almost boring.

And what's our motto?

Boring is always best.

Move! Move!

Client down! Client down!

Code seven! Code seven!

Jesus!

It's like a goddamn milkshake in here!

Bravo one down.

We need

a clean-up team in here now!

Repeat, bravo one down.

F***ing piece of paper I've got here.

l'm gonna beat this motherf***er's...

Holy sh*t.

Mr. seifert.

- Are we ready to go?

- "Are we ready?"

I've been waiting!

What the hell took you so long?

It's half past 9:00!

Apologies. I had to make some

preparations... Mr. seifert.

Mr. seifert!

It's best if I go through doors first.

- Okay?

- Okay.

You don't know what I'm dealing with here.

Come on, let's go, let's go.

- Double time.

- You don't understand.

These people are animals!

They're probably here already,

- just waiting for me to leave.

- I can appreciate your concern,

but I assure you, you are perfectly safe.

All you need to do

is exactly what I tell you.

Mr. seifert? Mr. seifert?

This way, please.

All right. Ls it not enough cocaine,

or too much?

They say you're triple-a rated.

Is that a real thing?

Let's just focus on you dying

of natural causes, shall we?

Soon.

That's my car.

Take a mental picture of it.

I find it safer if we're using a car

that blends in

with the surrounding traffic.

Well, that was easy.

In fact, practically nothing at all.

Boring is always best.

I trust you'll reduce your...

- what?

- This is Michael Bryce.

I'm an executive protection agent,

fully licensed and bonded within the eu.

F***in' hell. I know it's you.

I've got caller ID!

Such a f***ing dick.

You got a pickup for me or what?

Yes. I've extracted my client

from 27 Saint George street.

Clean-up is required.

On the seventh floor, north stairwell,

I've left a French national

employed by the taray crime syndicate.

You'll find two more

in the south stairwell.

On the roof, you're gonna find another

who's gonna need some dental work.

Ln the alley, there's two gentlemen

who may require some counseling.

One more in the east office

on the sixth floor under construction

and one on the number three elevator.

Oh, oh, oh!

Parking garage,

under the Rolls-Royce in space five,

there's a pound of plastic explosives,

you might want to call the bomb squad.

Check that. Make it the fire department.

Is that my car?

I'm afraid so. Have a seat,

it's been a long day.

That was a custom Rolls-Royce,

one of a kind.

I thought that was an unusual color.

Was that periwinkle?

I did find this in the backseat.

Scraps!

Precious, aren't they?

It smells like ass in here.

Buckle up.

This car certainly

isn't triple-a rated.

It's not even fit for animals.

Keep moving!

Everybody go home!

Get out of the way!

Have a look there.

Knock on the doors.

How's your English?

I don't know much English, Mr. president.

"The only way for the country to progress"

is by eradicating the scourge of genocide

"blackening our country

and our livelihood."

. L appreciate your modesty.

I hope we're not...

Disturbing your family.

They are on holiday.

Good for them.

Family makes a man whole.

I could have

you executed for treason,

but another would simply stand

a little bit higher on your corpse.

There must be some other lesson

I could teach you.

As I said,

there is nothing more important...

Than a good education.

Professor Asimov,

can you please tell the court

what happened next?

Then... I was taken

to one of dukhovich's internment camps.

I was there for three years

until he was finally overthrown.

Arrested like the monster he is.

Thank you, professor Asimov.

Your honor, I request

that this entire testimony be disregarded.

Without any evidence,

this is merely hearsay.

Sustained.

The trial

of former Belarusian president

Vladislav dukhovich continued today

with emotional testimony

from many of his country's victims.

But while powerful to hear,

dukhovich's attorneys say

they are nothing more

than the lies of his enemies.

Long one of the world's

most brutal dictators...

Who stands accused

of ethnic cleansing on a massive scale.

An unprecedented level of security

is in place around the courthouse.

Even the airspace

above this city is closed.

So far, the prosecution

has been crippled by the lack

of any hard evidence

against dukhovich himself.

'Numerous witnesses

who were expected

to testify have disappeared.

Ls there anyone brave enough

to come forward with evidence

and finally put an end

to his brutal reign?

Mr. Kincaid,

this is lnterpol's offer.

In return for your testimony

against former president dukhovich,

your wife will receive a full

pardon from all jurisdictions.

You're going to pardon an innocent woman?

That's mighty f***ing white of you.

Assuming we accept this arrangement

for Sonia Kincaid,

there's still the matter

of an agreement regarding my client.

He will receive

this letter recommending leniency.

Mr. Kincaid is a contract killer

facing two dozen counts

of murder in ten countries.

Absent a legitimate deal,

he will never breathe free air again.

Under no...

Sonia goes free.

We're all set, director casoria.

Let's get this gentleman to the hague.

Mr. Kincaid,

this is agent roussel.

She'll be leading a security detail,

which will escort you

to the international criminal court.

You know, dukhovich's men have killed

every single witness brought against them,

and my security detail

is a dozen off-duty cops?

These are the most highly-trained officers

in Europe, Mr. Kincaid.

We have taken every precaution

to make sure that your involvement

is completely classified.

It's a secret?

That makes me feel so much better.

Well, I can assure you,

even if there was an attempt,

we're more than prepared for any assault.

You prepared for that assault,

motherf***er?

Uncuff me, give me some car keys,

a couple guns, I'll meet you guys there.

Uncuff me, give me some car keys,

a couple guns, I'll meet you guys there.

Uncuff me, give me some car keys,

a couple guns, I'll meet you guys there.

The court's deadline

is at 5:
00 P. M. tomorrow, Mr. Kincaid.

That gives us 27 hours to transport

you from Manchester to the Netherlands.

If you want to help your wife,

you should get moving.

Okay, inspector clouseau,

let's see what these elite troops
