This chip is going

to change everything.

Come in, Two.

What is it, Blue One?

(man on walkie-talkie) We got

everything under control here

but I do want to go

on the record to say

that I never liked it,

not one bit.

You've got your orders.

Do your job

and we'll be fine.

Yeah, right.

(doctor) In 60 seconds his

heart rate will be high enough,

then we can begin.

[explosion]

[gunshots firing]

Blue One,

what's going on?

We got company,

Blue Team, east side.

[gunshots firing]

I need more time

to implant the chip.

(Blue Two) I don't care. Do something!

Can't you see

we're under attack here?

[gunshots firing]

(Blue Two)

Do it now.

If they get

the chip it's all over.

Blue One.

Protect the chip...

[explosion]

[gunshots firing]

You okay?

You okay?

(doctor)

You're our only hope.

(newscaster) Share

prices continue to tumble.

(newscaster #2) Lehman Brothers was

forced to declare itself bankrupt.

(newscaster #3) I think what we

see in society today is a result

of Christians being

apathetic and complacent.

(newscaster #4) The

largest single point drop.

(newscaster #5) Many are selling

everything, even at a loss

just to get out

of the market.

(newscaster #6) Many put high on their

list, but is the Christian faith now

losing ground in America?

(newscaster #7) Unity is

collapsing under the pressure,

leading only to chaos

and confusion.

(newscaster #8) The uncoordinated

moves by European leaders

has added uncertainty.

(newscaster #9) Demonstrators are

angry about the government's handling

of the country's economic crisis

and soaring unemployment.

(newscaster #10) The percentage of

people who call themselves Christians

has dropped by 10%

in a generation.

(newscaster #11) Stock exchange

dropped more than a heart-stopping

thousand points

in early trading.

Its biggest drop ever.

(newscaster #12) The prime minister

is now facing a motion of censure

in the parliament

from the opposition,

which claims soldiers

used excessive force.

(newscaster #13) Many Christians

believe it's the wake-up call.

Hundreds gather to pray

for America and the faith.

(newscaster #14) These vicious battles

were breaking out across the city.

(newscaster #15) Around the

world, stock markets continue

their terrifying plunge.

(newscaster #16) More violence

remains a distinct possibility.

(newscaster #17) With the

economic woes of America

and the economic woes of many

other economies in the world,

the great push is going to be

toward a global, one-world...

(newscaster #18)...place

a microchip under your skin.

It's all there.

Science fiction 20 years ago,

but a biometric reality today.

(newscaster #19) The Avanti

Corporation announced today it has begun

testing its first

human implant.

(newscaster #20) Just announced this

week that he wants to see a new financial

condition in the world

and he also says,

"I want to see

a one-world government

led by a one-world leader."

(male) It wasn't what you

thought it was gonna be.

Okay, so you're dying.

I mean at least you're

done with it, you know?

Yeah, but that's not

what it's about though.

Well, what is?

I mean, you served your country,

and honorably, I might add.

I took a bullet and I got

a little purple heart.

For God and country?

(Blue One)

Well, I'll tell you one thing,

I didn't see a whole

lot of God over there.

And don't talk to me about the

Lord works in mysterious ways.

I don't want to hear that.

You know everybody has their

own purpose in life, Chad,

and everything happens

for a reason.

It's all part

of the big picture, man.

What big picture?

When he reveals it,

then we'll know.

Little brother, you got your

God and you got your religion

and I respect that, I really do,

but that's not the real world.

Welcome back.

Name's Cooper.

I work for Avanti,

the company that hired your

team to run security for us.

What happened?

I'm still a little bit foggy.

(Cooper) What happened is you

just became a very valuable man.

So what am I,

Superman now?

(Cooper)

Sort of.

It wasn't supposed to

happen this way, Mr. Turner,

but it did.

Because of that, you're

able to earn in one job

what might take

your entire career.

Okay, I'm listening.

The G20 Summit

happens in Berlin next week.

I need that chip

to arrive there safely.

So you need to get

me there safely.

You and that chip are

connected, forever linked.

So what's the plan?

Commercial flight

in 2 days.

We hide in plain sight.

(male newscaster) This is the most

authoritative accounting to date

of Lehman's collapse,

and pretty much of any firm

that experienced the trauma...

(female)

This way Mr. Pike.

(male newscaster) What were

the biggest surprises to you?

I am the way...

And the truth

and the life.

Do you know how many

languages are spoken today?

No, but I'm sure you're

about to enlighten me.

There used to be one:

grunting and hand signals.

Primitive, but it worked.

Now there's

over a hundred,

hundred different ways

to say the same thing.

Does it make

any sense to you?

Change is

the nature of life.

Mankind will always

do what it needs

to ensure

its own survival.

But that's just it.

It's not working.

It's falling apart.

Too many nations, too many

currencies, too much fighting

and too much sickness.

Masses are beginning

to rally against hunger,

unemployment, and poverty.

Everything is out of balance.

Something has to change.

The world is in chaos,

or religiously they'll see it as

the end of the world and other

gibberish like the Rapture.

Obviously, the world is

in desperate need of a savior

and I have the answer.

I intend to be that savior.

I have no interest in your

politics or your opinion.

The only thing that concerns me

is that I successfully complete

the job you pay me to do.

So what is it

you need from me?

A new technology has emerged,

a microchip designed

by the Avanti Corporation.

I offered to buy it.

They refused.

It's being transported by plane

from Bangkok to Berlin.

I want you

to bring it to me.

You know my price.

I want 50% upfront.

And I'm gonna need 500,000 euros

for operating costs.

All taken care of.

Here's your mark.

I'll be in touch.

(airport employee)

Sir? Sir?

We need to scan you.

(male on intercom) Flight

11 now boarding at gate 5.

(female flight attendant)

Thanks, Dao. See you on board.

Good evening, nice to

see you again, Mr. Turner.

(Chad) Oh, hey, Dao. How've you been?

It's good

to see you, too.

Are you gonna

see your father?

No, actually I'm just

here doing some business.

(airport employee)

Okay, sir, you're clear.

So you gonna be

first class, right?

(female flight attendant)

Dao.

I think I have to go now,

so I'm gonna see you on board.

(male on intercom) Flight

11 now boarding at gate 5.

(female flight attendant)

He's cute, Dao. Who's that?

(captain) Welcome aboard Flight

417, ladies and gentlemen.

We'll be flying

at 30,000 feet

and it will take roughly
