What do you think?
Yeah, it's good. How much was it?
$1,000.
Top of the line.
So when are you leaving?
Tomorrow morning.
I promised the kids I'd take them hunting in Ireland.
Listen...
I gotta talk to you about something.
I've been meaning to tell you for a while now.
I'm gonna quit. I'm gonna get out.
I'm gonna sell my shares and start from scratch.
Besides, I don't really think you even need me anymore.
I think you'll be all right.
It's not the best time.
Well, listen,
I thought it over quite a bit, and there's nothing else I can do.
I'm so far in debt with these people,
it's what I have to do.
Have you found a buyer?
Yeah.
It's a company called Golden Eagle.
Out of Singapore.
I borrowed an awful lot of money from these people,
and this is the best way for me to pay back my debt.
You're still gonna be running things.
I already worked out part of the deal-out.
I know Golden Eagle.
They're not that reputable.
Well, they did me a lot of favors,
but it was not like there was anything ever illegal.
It was nothing like that.
No.
No. Nothing illegal.
Answer it.
It's for you.
Hello?
Yeah. I'll send somebody else to get you.
Sandra's here.
You're still seeing her?
Well, not really.
- We talked once. - Once too many.
You preferred the wife, didn't you?
I did.
I didn't.
Sandra's out in the waiting area, so would you go get her for me?
- Sure. - Okay.
The Golden Eagle contract just arrived.
Listen...
Andre has all the information, and he's gonna start asking questions,
so just give him answers, okay?
There's not gonna be any more secrets around here.
Okay.
Thank you.
Mr. Rennberg's waiting for you. Will you follow me, please?
Thanks for seeing me.
Thanks for not taking my messages.
Well, I'm here.
Yeah, two months late.
I thought we broke up.
I guess we kind of did that a couple of times.
I'd like to do it once and for all.
Whatever makes you happy.
Your cufflinks?
Yeah.
Is it because we're separated that I'm allowed into your office now?
How old are they?
11 and 13.
They're good-looking kids.
Yeah.
I did a nice job with them, I think.
But your wife...
It's funny.
Before, it would've been painful to see these pictures.
I'm divorced.
I don't hardly see those kids anymore.
Your divorce went through?
A month ago.
Congratulations.
I see. That's why you started calling again.
You know very well why we never met in this office before.
Because of the favors I used to do for you.
When I used to play "escort girl" for your clients.
Yeah.
I used to come and tell you everything I heard.
And everything I did...
Yeah?
I'm sure you never asked your wife to do such things.
Well, you were very good at what you do.
And you got paid... quite well as I remember.
Yeah, 'cause it turned you on to pay me for that.
You know, sometimes I made things up.
I'd rather not know.
I would never do it again.
I'm starting to get that impression.
Do you know why I did it?
No, I don't. I'm mystified.
I did it because I loved you.
Then I suppose that means you don't anymore. Is that it?
No.
You're lying.
Anyway, not enough to do that shit anymore.
I didn't have a clue.
I would've done anything for you.
And you did.
Because I believed in our relationship.
You were just taking advantage of me.
Took advantage of you?
I could've picked up a $2.00 hooker off the street
to do the same fucking thing!
Well, you wouldn't have gotten such good info.
I didn't give a damn about the info.
You think some sweaty, drunken, half-hard businessman
is gonna tell you anything important at 3:00 in the morning?
Sure, I thought, maybe once in a while
there'd be a small piece of information.
Give me an edge on a business deal.
So...
it was all a game for you.
If that's what you want to call it.
Yeah. That's what I want to call it.
You know, you're not a fool.
You weren't tricked into doing anything.
You got off on every bit of that just as much as I did, and you know it.
I don't know.
Got into what?
You enjoyed doing what I wanted you to do.
You liked it. You liked being mine.
Being yours?
Yeah.
You remember that weekend?
We went away and we made up a little game where'd you be my slave.
Say the word slave again.
Slave.
Again.
Slave.
Again.
I think you liked doing what I wanted you to do,
and you got off on it.
I was doing a bunch of drugs.
I didn't feel much. I was numb.
That's a bad excuse.
All right. I felt this much.
The truth is you didn't give a shit.
You could barely get it up.
Well,
you'd get hard when you told me what we are going to do,
but less when we actually did it.
Can't you take that later?
Okay.
You know how much I miss you?
For the wrong reasons.
You shouldn't insist.
You just don't want to give in, that's all.
I don't want to end up like we were.
It's so hard to get out of it.
So you got out of it?
I don't think about you anymore.
I think about you less.
Anyway, I've got a new job now, so there's no time for that.
Okay. You've got a job. Doing what?
Do you remember Lester and Sue Wang?
We had dinner with them a couple times, right?
Yeah, I work with them.
They bought contemporary furniture from Kwantung.
Whatever happened to that science-fiction website you had?
That was so dumb.
It was not dumb. It was good.
What was the name of that character you invented?
- Vortex? - Yeah, Vortex.
Vortex could put out her hand and control people, right?
Why don't you do that right now?
Stick out your hand.
Come to my place tomorrow night.
There were two containers on the ship.
This is one. Where is my other container?
Well, it'll be here tomorrow.
I spoke to the freighter. He says he's sorry.
I don't know what to tell you. I'm sorry, too.
There's four crates at the PHV.
Put them on the platform, deliver them this afternoon, okay?
Fax this to Hong Kong immediately.
Okay.
We have to change shippers.
This is the third screw-up.
Put the ones with red stickers aside. It's a different order.
No, it's fine.
It's okay. I told them. They know. Don't worry.
Are you sure you want to leave?
Is it the money?
No, it's not the money. It's just...
I told you it was temporary and, um...
Did someone offer you another job?
No, I'm probably going to leave Paris.
Look, these are the four items that are missing,
everything's fine, and I signed here for you.
The last page right here?
Still needs to be checked.
But Bruno said he'll do it later.
So is Miles going to help you?
Miles?
You're seeing him again, right?
How do you know?
His secretary called to confirm your appointment.
Why? I saw him once.
I thought you made up your mind.
I did. I made up my mind.
And he was supposed to be all of your life?
He's out of it.
- This is the last time. - Too risky.
Next week I'll be gone.
Where to?
China.
Beijing. I'm buying into a club.
With what money?
Don't worry.
You'd live there?
In a second.
I swear, a second.
Here.
After, I'll send you a signal like this.
I want to go away too.
But I couldn't go alone.
I won't be alone.
Who are you going with?
Where's Sandra?
Where is Sandra?
In the booth down there.
Does she have the package?
No.
Where is the package?
It's in the car under my seat.
My motorcycle is over there behind the bank.
Take the motorcycle and get out of here.
Got the cash?
Can I see?
Let go of me!
Let go!
Don't move.
Fuck!
Well, I'm doing what I can.
What?
How long? How long have you been doing this?
What, like, you pretend like you didn't know now?
I don't fucking know.
If I knew, I'd fire you.
I thought you loved me.
You know I do.
Just don't fuck with me, all right?
Don't do this to me.
Check tomorrow's paper.
Okay.
Where were you?
Playing poker.
All night?
Yes.
Win or lose?
Lose.
How much?
Enough.
They dropped off the tickets.
Call my wife and make sure she got the reservations for the boys.
Everything should be okay.
Hang on. I gotta get the door.
Listen,
I'd like you to keep working for me, if you'll think about it.
You can stay with André if you want.
But I'll miss you, and you need to come if you'd like.
We'll have fun. Good-bye.
You brought your keys.
I brought them back to you.
You brought them back to me.
The keychain was a gift.
I'm returning it.
Were you on the phone?
Yeah. I just hung up.
You want a whiskey?
No.
Well, I'm gonna have one.
You sure I can't get you something?
No, I won't stay long.
I shouldn't have come here.
I'm regretting it already.
I think you came here because it's dangerous.
I'm gonna get some ice.
Are you hungry?
No.
I got Lebanese.
For two?
Of course.
Looks pretty good. You might change your mind.
You said you'd lend me money.
A few months went by, I don't know what happened.
Maybe you forgot.
A million dollars is pretty hard to forget.
That's an awful lot of money.
Not for you.
Yeah, for me and for anyone.
Why didn't you keep your promise, Miles?
Well, I kind of thought it was a high price to pay for getting dumped, first of all.
Don't.
If I'd had bought that club for you in Beijing,
I never would've seen you again.
It was an investment.
One investment.
Where are you gonna run the investment from? Paris?
Sure. Why not?
You have companies in places you've never even been to.
By not giving you the money,
I had a chance that you would come back to me
after you got done being angry.
And it looks like I calculated the right way, because here you are.
I get paid for calculating.
I hear you don't get paid as much these days.
Is that what you heard?
Yeah.
I've made a few bad investments, that's for sure.
And I've moved around some money
to places maybe where it shouldn't have gone,
but everyone's just trying to feel their way back.
People say you're finished.
You know, I read, um...
an article about you in an online business magazine.
It said you got fucked by the Japanese when you were betting on the yen.
And you got fucked by the Russians
when you bought an obsolete petro-chemical plant.
It also said you've been sucking their cocks ever since
to try and control the damage.
You know what they called you?
Perfect cliché of bygone times.
You're reading business magazines now?
Sometimes, when I'm going for a laugh.
Made me laugh.
If I'd have given you that money,
I never would've seen you again.
I don't need your money.
Keep it so you can buy a petro-chemical plant.
In Russia.
Well, if you don't want the money, then what do you want?
I don't know.
I just came here to see what it was that obsessed me so much.
Well, what did you find?
I can't see it. It's gone now.
What do you see?
I see, um,
a run-of-the-mill businessman...
alone...
divorced...
in a lawsuit with his wife...
Iosing his grip.
Lost in his personal life.
Lost in his business life.
His body going to seed.
The perfect cliché of bygone times.
I was bullshitting you, Miles.
I had butterflies in my stomach on my way here...
just like when I used to be in love with you.
You never stopped.
When I'm away from you, I'm clear headed.
I think about the future.
The club in Beijing, how that could change my life.
But when I'm around you, it all goes blurry and I...
I get carried away.
About what?
Just memories.
The life we could have shared and the hopes I had.
For a while, I thought I was meant to be by your side.
How ridiculous.
The truth is it's over now.
It's history.
I'm not crying for you, I'm crying for myself.
I'd like a whiskey.
All right, then I'll get you one.
No, a bigger one.
With ice cubes.
I don't love you anymore, Miles.
I desire you,
but don't love you anymore.
Since when? Tonight?
No.
Tonight I just needed to prove it to myself.
Well, since when, then?
Since...
I went out with those Japanese clients of yours.
Do you remember that?
Yes, I do.
Well, we ended up at their hotel.
The oldest one, Takeshi,
had slipped some GHB in my beer.
When I woke up, they were gone.
They left a rolled-up 100-dollar bill
on the night table.
After that, I came to see you.
You were with that girl Louise Flannagan.
You had been doing crystal with her and ordered some Lebanese,
which is why...
I don't touch that shit.
Anyway, you wanted me to tell you everything that happened in front of her.
She kept wanting me to admit
that I'd been raped in my sleep.
You were raped...
by all of them.
Those fucking animals took Polaroids of you,
and they showed them around in their office,
and I can tell you for sure...
It wasn't something I was proud of.
Louise wanted me to tell everything in detail.
Seemed to turn her on.
Nobody forced you to say anything.
You did.
You wanted me to turn her on
so then you could watch us fuck.
That's why you had her come over in the first place.
I had taken two Ecstasies.
I was rolling, and I let her go down on me.
And I watched you jerk off.
And then we slept together.
No, we didn't.
You're getting it mixed up.
You had an early flight to Moscow.
And then...
And then Louise took me home.
I didn't know how to get rid of her.
And then she kept texting me for a month.
Why in the hell didn't you ever tell me that?
Because I don't give a fuck about Louise Flannagan.
I didn't even want to tell you about this till now.
When you came back from Russia,
you had forgotten all about it.
But not me.
We've done a lot worse than that,
and you know it.
I say, we've done a lot worse than that.
I think it's better I go now.
Hey!
Come here.
- Hey! - Miles...
What do you think you're doing?
- Please let me leave. - Where are you going?
Where do you think you're going?
Miles.
- Where do you think you're going? - Miles, let me go, please.
Let me go. I swear to God it's better this way.
Please let me go.
Hey! Hey, hey, hey.
Let me go, Miles.
Let me go!
Hey!
These are mine now.
You gave them back.
You want a beer?
Don't worry. It's not spiked.
And even if it was, you'd drink it anyway, right?
Maybe.
No. No maybe. Yes.
Say yes.
Yes.
Now you know, at the end of the night,
I'm gonna handcuff you,
and I'm gonna fuck you.
Yes.
Right over there in the cabinet.
You kept the handcuffs.
Yeah.
I hate them. They hurt.
That's not what you used to say.
May I ask you a question, Miles?
Of course.
Am I the only girl that turns you on?
Yes.
I'm the only one you can fuck?
That's right.
But the others.
The others don't do anything for me.
Since when?
For a while.
I gotta get that, okay?
This is New York.
The market's closing.
Yeah, hello.
No, no. No, no. No, no. I was expecting your call.
Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
No, look, as long as it stays that way, we're not gonna sell.
That's absolutely out of the question.
That's right. No, I have the information right in front of me.
Look, we have to be careful, okay? That's all I'm saying.
They're waiting for a sign, and we gotta be careful.
Vortex.
Hey, couldn't I have a cigarette?
Merci.
Get down!
Don't you fucking move.
Okay? Don't move an inch.
I said don't fucking move!
Is it done?
Did anyone see you?
Were you followed?
No.
The gun. Give me the gun.
Did you wipe your prints?
I don't know.
You don't know?
Sandra, you asked me to help you, and I will help you,
but if you don't fucking listen to me, I can't help you.
Do you understand?
I did what I could.
In any case, you were caught by the cameras.
They saw you come, they saw you go.
They'll identify you.
This time tomorrow, you'll be a new person in a different country.
No one will know you.
Did you bring a change of clothes?
Yeah.
Change. Your dress is torn.
I booked you a flight to Hong Kong.
You leave for Madrid, Orly. 7:15 in the morning.
Madrid, Hong Kong, 3:30.
- Do you understand? - Yeah.
When you get to Hong Kong,
take a taxi to this address.
Go inside the building, go to the tenth floor.
Look for Mr. Ho.
Mr. Ho is my friend.
He knows nothing.
He needs to know nothing.
Don't ask him anything.
He'll take care of you.
You need to do what I say.
When you get to Hong Kong, do not use your credit cards, okay?
They'll find you immediately.
This is 1,000 U.S. dollars in Hong Kong dollars.
It's not much. Be careful with it.
Give me your credit card.
You use your credit cards, they trace you.
Give me your phone.
I don't want you using your phone.
It's too dangerous.
My flight takes off from Rossi four hours before you.
I arrive in Hong Kong before you as well.
Mr. Ho will give you an address to where I will be.
You'll meet me there.
- At your place? - No.
The person that hired us.
When the cops find Miles and it's official,
we get the other half of the money, cash, in Hong Kong.
It's faster, it's better.
Then he disappears, and so will we.
- Give me the keys to the car. - What for?
You don't need to know. Just give the keys.
Lisa's waiting for you outside.
