So what are you? Some kind of government agent?
Translate this for me and you go free.
Free.
Free to go where?
All right.
Play it again.
-This is Ambassador Wu. -Yes.
He's saying that the dead refugees. . .
. . .were a deliberate action. . .
. . .to derail the trade agreement. . .
. . .and he knows who is responsible.
Who is he talking to?
Got here too late. She was already dead.
So he took it out on the Triad stiff.
Jana Novak.
Her passport is Czech.
Her file came up blank. Same as our guy. Same dead end.
-Weird same. -Weird.
Phone records you asked for.
There's definitely a pattern showing up.
You mean other than half-a-dozen dead bodies?
Yeah, look.
Phone numbers in sequence. 555-3901 . . .
. . .555-3902, 555--
What you've got to do is, go all the way up to 99. . .
. . .isolate the possibles. . .
. . .stake out all the locations, wait for our guy to show. Bob's your uncle.
That's a good plan, but who's Bob?
He's your uncle.
This better be an emergency.
Hello? Who is this?
We're unable to complete your call as dialed.
Please check it and dial again.
Protests like this at the US embassy in Beijing...
...cause many to believe the UN trade agreement...
... will dissolve before it starts.
All eyes are on Secretary General Thomas...
... to find a solution to the strained relations between the countries.
You have a monumental crisis emerging, Mr. Secretary General.
I'm convinced there's only one man in the whole world. . .
. . .who can compel those fellas in Beijing to stick with their agreement.
And that man is you, David.
I don't know if you're trying to flatter me. . .
. . .or frighten me, sir.
I think the secretary general is suggesting. . .
. . .is that you can remind all parties involved that, as history has shown. . .
. . .economic prosperity does wonders at keeping the peace.
Excuse me, I missed CNN today.
Is there a war going on that I'm unaware of?
There's always a war. There's your side, their side. . .
. . .and me in the middle trying to make it look like peace.
The secretary general spoke to the president this morning.
If the situation doesn't improve, he's prepared to fly in tomorrow. . .
. . .and attend the ceremony as a show of support for the agreement.
It's a last resort.
I don't want it to happen.
I want this to be a UN initiative.
But more than that, I want it to work.
And I'm afraid that as things stand now. . .
. . .without the president's presence, it can't work.
Don't bring in the president. It'll only complicate things.
In the meantime, we were hoping you wouldn't mind acting. . .
. . .as interim diplomat.
An ambassador of good will, if you will.
I would be honored to help.
And allow you to take the headlines.
"Secretary General saves China trade agreement. "
Excuse me.
Eleanor Hooks.
You posted a missing cat?
Yes.
Yes, I did. You found him healthy?
Yes.
You'll need to keep him a few days. Is that a problem?
No problem.
I know where to reach you.
Asshole!
Internet chat rooms, they're a free-for-all.
You just have to know where to go.
"Triads killed Wu.
Framed me.
Possible mole in department.
Hold communications. . .
. . .and expect cover. . .
. . .to be compromised. . .
. . .within 24 hours.
Stay under radar.
Good luck. "
Yeah, good luck.
You work for the UN, don't you?
Jesus, you do.
I want you to go in there and buy some water and food that will keep.
When you come back there's one more thing.
Must be nice for you to assume I'll bend over whenever you please.
-It's-- -"Bend over backwards" is what I meant.
Thank you.
I'm trusting you.
Oops.
I don't care that you're drunk. . .
. . .but you better cook that food!
Excuse me.
-Hello? -Is Marie there?
-No Marie here. -Sorry, wrong number.
Pay phone?
Hi, Lo Kee Bakery.
Bingo.
Great.
Everybody down!
-Get undressed. -Excuse me?
-Strip. All your clothes off. -You think--
Now! Take your clothes off now!
You think I'd do that for you?
You're bugged. There's a transmitter in your clothing.
-How? -I don't know how. . .
. . .but how do you think they tracked us? Just think about it.
They went after you in there, not me.
Take them off.
You said I was free to go.
You want to go? Okay.
Here. Go.
See you.
Thought so.
Glasses. Watch.
Best I could do.
Not used to this, are you?
Not having control of the situation. Being manipulated.
You're normally on the other side.
Are you stating the obvious for your enjoyment. . .
. . .or are you moonlighting as a Psychic Friend?
If I help you, it follows that I help myself.
Okay, then help yourself by telling me about Ambassador Wu.
You worked for him for a long time.
Ambassador Wu was an outsider.
He knew China's future lay in economic growth. . .
. . .but the Party line was to keep a separation with the West.
He believed that the gulf could be crossed.
What gulf?
I'm talking about appearances and meaning.
Frankly, I thought you'd be more sensitive to this concept.
-Who are you calling? -You tell me.
Lo Kee Bakery.
Okay, it's a front.
For what?
This. . .
. . .is an Athletic Club.
A private gentleman's club for gambling and. . . .
And?
And sex.
You see, you are late.
Come on, where's one of the moron brothers?
My clients are waiting.
Okay.
You'll be able to hear me with this.
And you'll be able to talk to me. . .
. . .with this.
I need your help.
Help me find what I'm looking for.
-What are you doing? -I don't have time to worry.
-Where would I go? -Some place I haven't thought of.
Why is my helping you conditional on being a prisoner?
You're not a prisoner. I'm protecting you.
From yourself.
You'll have to tell me how you know about this place.
Julia.
Julia. . .
. . .you awake?
I'm awake.
I was just in a different place.
Stick to the present.
You know, I read a book once about these prisoners of war...
. . .who construct the house of their dreams in their head. . .
-... to keep their sanity. -Your sanity?
I thought you lost that long ago.
Right now I'm sitting at a cafe in a small village...
. . .in the South of France.
Now, there's a familiar face.
Shaw, there's cops pulling up everywhere.
Did you hear me?
Yeah. Party's over.
One at a time, ladies. Stay down.
Did you need any help with those?
-We have a full license. -You've got a fucking license?
Well, we'll just be on our way, then.
You're in way over your head, boy. We have an understanding with the police.
Now you have an understanding. . .
. . .with the FBl.
I said, assume the position.
You assume the position. I'm not going anywhere.
What's wrong with you? Give me those.
Get up the stairs with your bitch ass.
Let's get their names and get them out of here.
You know, sometimes it's hard to tell the good guys from the bad guys.
It's not always obvious--
Is this man bothering you?
Steel. Left hand.
-Nice and slow. -All right.
Step back.
Not exactly FBI waist regulation, is it?
I'm on probation.
Okay, Cappella, why don't you ask her?
Ask her who the bad guys are, and if she wants to go with you.
Look. . . .
We're after the same thing. Why can't we work together?
Because your idea of cooperation is me in a cell.
And I don't particularly like that.
I'm after the truth.
Why don't you check out the Vietnamese refugees underneath the bakery?
My guess is, they're linked to the dead ones found in the container.
You can be a hero.
No weight requirement for attorney general.
Probably not.
Oh, Cappella?
Yeah?
Thank you.
That club stinks of David Chan.
He's with the Triads and linked to the refugees.
But I need proof he took out Wu to kill the trade agreement.
I'm not sure.
David Chan was supporting the trade initiative.
Appeared to be. But ask yourself this:
-Who benefits from Wu's death? -Besides Mrs. Wu?
If the trade agreement is signed, his business monopoly would be over.
He'd have to compete with the West.
Kill Wu and the trade agreement with him...
...and Chan keeps China to himself.
You make a lot of sense. . .
. . .for a car thief.
Okay, just relax.
Okay, ready.
Log on to the main web site, then follow the instructions I gave you.
The access is denied.
Simultaneously press control, alternate, F8 twice. . .
. . .backslash. . .
. . .enter.
Password and login l.D.?
Don't need it. Just follow the last lines of codes on the page.
Department of Defense?
-Julia-- -Don't tell me.
-I don't want to know. -Just a little trick. . .
. . .from training.
Do they train you to be this vague, or is it a gift?
What's that mean?
You know what I mean. I mean your evasiveness.
Comes with the territory.
Well, the strong, silent type cliché thing is becoming tiresome.
We're in.
Okay.
Wait a minute. Stop.
-What? -Rewind.
Play it again.
Go frame-by-frame.
And look very carefully.
Chan's looking before the shot was fired.
I don't believe it. He knew.
He knew it was coming?
More like he made it happen.
Make a copy and get back to the car.
Twenty-four hours are nearly up.
I'm putting the trade deal in the president's hands.
Bringing the president in seriously undermines your authority.
Your strength is what will keep the UN strong.
I'm using all my sources. If anything should leak out, I can kill it.
I feel certain you can keep this deal together and avoid a scandal.
Thank you, Eleanor.
Thank you, but no.
There are reports that the secretary general...
...has asked the president to intervene...
...and solidify the Chinese trade agreement before it collapses.
The president and secretary general address the assembly tomorrow...
...and attend the signing ceremony.
If Chan wants to kill the deal, that's where he'll make his next move.
All right. Take the videotape and Wu's recording to Eleanor Hooks.
She'll get it to the right people without bringing me in.
I'll provide the last piece of the puzzle. Finish it once and for all.
-Where are you going? -The last place I should.
Yes, I will.
Ms. Hooks is quite busy. I hope you don't mind waiting.
Happy New Year.
She's ready to see you now.
Do you always exhibit such flair at entrances and exits. . .
. . .or is it just when visiting my hotels?
Actually, I find them rather inviting.
Kind of like a second home, you know?
As my most effective asset in the field. . .
. . .I'm almost embarrassed you're not on my payroll.
Maybe you'd like to make me an offer I can't refuse.
I would. . .
. . .but I'm afraid you'd never get to enjoy the rewards.
Guess this is my reward.
Excellent, actually.
Assassinate the man who's been tracking you. . .
. . .and blow apart a trade agreement that will cost you billions.
I know that nothing is what it seems. . .
. . .but I'm dying for you to explain this.
If this information gets out. . .
. . .it could seriously damage China's credibility on the world stage.
Do more harm than good.
Never thought of that.
Appearances are everything, Miss Fang.
Politics and deception are built on it.
Heading for the street!
I got him! I got him!
Location!
Freeze! Drop your weapon!
That should do it.
Come on!
You'll need some silk.
You all right?
How does it feel to be a puppet without the strings?
The Art of War teaches:
"Win by destroying your enemy from within. "
Ironic, isn't it, that a 2000-year-old strategy. . .
. . .would be turned against the very people who created it.
Better us doing it to them then them doing it to us.
What are you talking about?
I'm talking about 20 years of China fucking America from within. . .
. . .and nobody noticing.
Well, now they're going to notice.
You.
You're behind all this.
With just enough help from David Chan to keep everyone guessing.
David Chan most of all.
I don't understand.
Of course you don't, my dear.
Because you, like most people. . .
. . .never stop to look at the big picture.
I've looked at the big picture every day for 20 years. . .
. . .and I've tried to look forward. And you know what I see?
I see China maintaining a stranglehold on freedom.
Influencing our political process with illegal campaign contributions.
Stealing secret military technology and selling it to our enemies.
Weakening us from the inside. . .
. . .Iike a virus.
This trade deal is an invitation to finish the job.
We intend to cancel that invitation.
We intend to return America. . .
. . .to Americans.
We?
Who do you think you're representing?
The people who have steered this nation for decades behind the scenes.
The people who protect democracy from itself.
For a woman obsessed with Chinese conspiracies. . .
. . .you sound frighteningly similar to the government you're trying to stop.
Thanks for stopping by. . .
. . .and thanks for this useful bit of evidence.
I'm sure you'll find your own way out.
Shit.
You've got to think, girl.
Fuck!
Julia?
-Shaw? -Julia. Hello?
You're breaking up, Shaw.
Move to better reception.
-Shaw. -Where you can get better reception.
I'm locked in the UN building. Hooks is behind it.
Julia?
Shit!
Hey, guys!
You call this a perimeter?
Come on! Wake up!
Jesus Christ!
Cappella.
America 's Most Wanted.
The man of the hour!
You calling to explain Chan's murder, or to apologize for this afternoon?
Both.
You want to meet, let's meet.
Okay.
Are you in the area?
With rookie boy's head in my sights.
Really? I could live with that.
Drive to the park and pick me up.
I got a better idea--
Okay, I get the message. I gotta go.
-What are we gonna do? -I don't know. Figure out something!
Do not underestimate your friend.
There's a reason I chose him as team leader. . .
. . .and a reason I asked you to deal with him.
You obviously don't appreciate the schedule I'm working with.
I agreed to play Neil because I wanted to.
Not because of the money.
And certainly not because of your right-wing ideology.
You let me handle Neil my way.
This is not about male testosterone between you and your idol.
You are just a cog in the wheel of a larger machine.
It could've just as easily been you out there, chasing your own tail.
I understand.
What about the girl?
It's almost midnight.
Security will be doing a check of the upper floors.
You have a 30-minute window.
What about the lobby guards?
I'll take care of them.
Yes, ma'am.
-What? -Your eyes.
Where's your first aid kit?
Security.
Yes, ma'am.
Attention. Stand by for a motion-sensor test.
Protocol T-7.
All lobby personnel report to sublevel 1.
Repeat. Lobby personnel stand down for sensor diagnostic.
The trail ends with Eleanor Hooks.
My guess is she used Chan, then double-crossed him.
It's a long story.
Just drive.
Jesus Christ.
This information has to come out to clear your name.
Can't do that. Any connection between Wu's murder. . .
. . .Chan, the Triads, and Hooks would kill the trade agreement.
-Holy shit. -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?
About me. . .
. . .UN covert operations, everything.
She pins the assassination on you to discredit the UN?
Taking out the organization that can hold it together.
Back to a cold war.
Give me your card.
Hello.
Roll your window down so I can see.
Jesus!
Security's not where they're supposed to be.
Neither am l.
Cappella.
It's for you.
Yes.
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 1 3:
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 gotta tell you, my friend. . .
. . .by the time we're done with you. . .
. . .you're gonna make Lee Harvey Oswald look like a fucking boy scout.
But first we're gonna have a short class in 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 into "Miss Shanghai. "
Shit.
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?
Move.
You all right?
Hello?
Get me out of here.
Hello?!
Here's your paper.
Have a nice day, Ms. 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 have. . .
. . .made arrangements for you by now.
Staying alive is what I'm paid for.
But I'm curious. . .
. . .what makes you think that what you did to Chan won't happen to you?
I don't like to speak ill of the dead. . .
. . .but between us, and whoever's listening. . .
. . .David Chan was a self-inflated, pig-headed asshole. . .
. . .who, no doubt, deserved whatever came his way.
And 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 the destiny of the UN is to be fulfilled...
... then we could not afford...
... to wait around and then react to a member nation 's call for help.
We had to anticipate and defuse...
... volatile national and international conditions...
...before they became explosive.
Before they led us to catastrophe.
-So it is in the memory of Eleanor... -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.
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 eaten.
-I have food at my place. -How will we get there?
