[Exhales]

I suspected as much.

My daughter trusted him with information

that he now uses against us.

What kind of information might that be?

And what does he want for it?

Five million dollars in cash and diamonds.

I thought Manuelo told you that.

Well, you know,

somehow I kind of feel like...

there's a little bit more than that.

You see, five million to a guy like that

ain't much compared to what's at stake here.

- So tell me what's going on.

- I don't know what you mean.

I feel like you're not leveling with me.

We're friends.

I'm sorry. You're right.

I'm sorry.

Cross and I grew up together.

He chose a life of crime,

and I became a cop.

- Do you know my family owns a lot of property?

- Yes, sir, I do.

One of the properties we own

was a tapped-out oil field.

He wasn't interested in the property.

What he's interested in is this.

We went in to re-tap the oil wells...

and we've discovered something

much more valuable.

Uranium.

Make a long story short...

I found one of the richest deposits

of uranium in the history of North America.

And that's what you're pulling up now.

Some. Got a lot more work to do.

That makes sense.

I knew there was something.

If I sign those papers tomorrow night,

everything I have...

everything I have worked for

will be torn away.

And I don't give a damn.

I just want Nikita back.

But I don't have a choice.

Let me tell you something. You do have a choice.

You're not gonna sign those papers.

Where's the drop?

Up in the hills.

He's built a new hacienda.

I know it well. I have the plans.

I'm gonna get your daughter back.

You don't worry about nothin'.

I give you my word. You hear?

[Groans]

Man.

[Roland Speaks Spanish]

Thank you for coming.

Mmm. They don't talk much, those two.

- Yeah? Well, can they shoot?

- Yeah.

They can shoot.

[Engine Starts]

So you know how many guys

are gonna be there?

Enough to make it interesting.

[Spanish]

[Spanish]

Thank you, Tory.

[Sighs]

Just a few more hours, sweetheart,

and this will all be over.

- I want to see my father.

- Oh, you will. You will.

I promise.

[Sobbing]

- Mason?

- I risked a lot for this, Cross.

I just want to know

when I'm gonna get paid.

You'll get your money tonight as promised.

Now, Mason, please, get outta here.

Mason, what's he talking about?

Mason, answer me!

And I want that bodyguard dead too, Cross.

We're lookin' for him.

Don't worry about it.

He'll be dead before dawn.

- Now let's go.

- [Nikita] You son of a b*tch.

- You son of a b*tch! I hope you die!

- [Cross] Stay calm.

Emotions get you nothing.

[Sobbing]

No!

Let's do it. Come on.

- [Knocking]

- [Simon] Yeah, come in.

What the hell is this?

Sh*t!

[Phone Beeping]

All right, fellas. This is it. Let's go.

Goin' to see your daddy.

Mason, when we get there...

keep your eyes open, okay?

Just look around.

I'm sure he won't be alone.

- He's not comin' alone.

- You keep your eyes open.

Come on. Let's go. Move it.

Come on. Let's go.

[Engine Starting]

- What's the plan?

- Stay out of sight, and I'll let you know.

- All right.

- [Sniffles]

You know, um, those rifles,

they look like they're from the Civil War.

Do you think they'll work?

- They'll do fine. I promise.

- Okay.

All right.

Daddy!

Go, go, go, go!

Cross!

No need to shout.

- You Judas son of a b*tch.

- [Scoffs]

Should've shown me

some more respect, old man.

Boy, you can kiss my ass.

- Where's Nikita?

- First things first. Let's see those documents.

- [Man] Exchange is goin'down.

- [Tory] You keep your eyes open

for that bodyguard.

Looks like you upheld

your end of the bargain for once.

What about the money, Cross?

Satisfied?

[Whistles]

- Daddy.

- It's okay, baby.

Everything's gonna be okay.

You got what you wanted. Now let her go.

You'll get your daughter.

This is Lucien.

- Lucien, say again.

- [Gagging]

What's goin' on?

- Got a problem.

- You're right about that, Tory.

- Who is this?

- Now tell your b*tches to drop their guns.

- [Gasps]

- Or we'll kill every f***in' one of you.

F***in' bodyguard. He's here.

What a waste. What a sad, pathetic waste.

- Mr. Cross, pages are missing.

These contracts are useless!

- You're a fool.

- Kill her, Tory!

- Daddy!

Wait!

[Nikita Screaming]

- Nikita!

- [Indistinct]

[Nikita Screaming]

Son of a...

[Nikita Groans]

[Both Groaning]

Kill you.

No! Roland! Roland!

[Clicking]

[Sirens Approaching]

There they are. Let's go.

[Cross Chortling]

Conner, you pull that trigger,

you'll never see your daughter again.

This is the police. Put the gun down.

I know what you're feeling.

But you have to let us handle this.

I can't.

[Simon]

No, you're wrong.

[Nikita Groaning]

Keep moving or I'll kill you right here.

Behind me. Take him out.

- [Nikita] Let me go.

- [Tory] Shut up!

Let me go!

Stay down!

[Groans]

[Clicking]

[Stammers]

Okay, I give up.

Yeah. Well, after you're dead maybe.

F*** it.

Mi casa tu casa, motherf***er!

[Groaning]

Get the f*** off me!

Roland.

[Panting, Gasping]

- Okay. You all right?

- [Crying] Yeah.

- I knew you'd save me.

- Yeah.

Conner, we have plenty

of evidence to convict him.

Now put the gun down.

Come on, Conner. We're all cops together.

Now put the gun down.

Listen to me. Put it down.

[Cross Groaning]

[Grunting]

Simon, you're a pig!

Your mother's a whore!

Mason, don't tell 'em anything.

Get that son of a b*tch in the van.

Carry on.

Yeah.

[Spanish]

Nikita, you okay? Oh!

[Crying]

I'm so sorry.

- I owe you my life.

- Well, brother, let's go.

[Sighs]
