Looks like negotiations broke down.
But it's not much use telling you that, is it?
Why me?
You're wondering why we spared you?
A good question.
This lot thought they could pay in merchandise, not money.
When they opened the suitcase,
you looked away with a displeased expression on your face.
I liked that. That's why we didn't kill you.
So my brother died because of that...
But come on, what would you expect from the boss's driver?
Damn, I'll get killed. What explanation could a mafioso have?
Why did you look away?
I'll leave that to your imagination.
Oh, I've imagined it.
Join me. I'm in need of a driver.

Damn, you're bulletproof?
It's been two minutes... This is bad...
Ugo, leave that guy to us!
Roger!
Get Koko outta here by car!
Roger!
Grego!
It's been two minutes! Grego!
Grego?
Grego!
Damn-
Ugo, let's go!
Is that the third one? I'll need a gun.
Princess! Should we head to the safe house?
Nein!
These guys did their homework. They know where it is.
Keep following route one!
Did you hit them, Princess?
No! I can't see a thing!
Goddamn, that was close.
They've got good aim, especially with that kind of firepower.
Was that 50 caliber?
This is why going after an arms dealer wasn't such a bright idea...
They're going nice and fast now, though.
All I need to do is send them spinning and they'll crash and burn.
Mission complete.
He's coming soon.
Princess, give me the gun and brace for impact!
Okay!
Just what I wanted.
I might as well be your private chauffeur on occasion.
This seriously is the pits.
The fuck is with this desert?
Here.
You can use it to talk with your men, Boss Dominique.
Boss? Boss? Boss Dominique?
Boss! Boss! Boss Dominique!
Liliane?
Hey, Boss! I got caught by the enemy! Sorry 'bout that.
What about Gregoire?
Grego too.
Looks like we won't be opening that restaurant.
I thought for sure that they'd get away.
This is the pits. I feel like passing out.
End of the road, assassin.
I'm willing to strike a deal with you, though.
I'll let you go, but in exchange...
Tell me who hired you.
I think running a restaurant would fit you better than being an assassin.
Jonah, I'm sorry,
but this is the only way.
There's just no way I could take you with me.
I really appreciated your kindness and enthusiasm, though. You're a great guy.
Let's meet up again if I get out of this alive.
Hill of Ruin
I'm not down yet!
I was ready for her to pull something like this.
Twenty minutes.
I can still catch up!
I have to!
Halt! This area is private property.
Do you have an appointment?
The factory hasn't started up yet. What do you want?
The Daxinghai Company.
I don't know what's going on, nor do I care.
Do as you wish.
Status report!
Shots at the main gate! Two people down! Intruder unknown!
They're dead?!
They were attacked with a knife.
I don't give a fuck! Find them!
Yes, sir!
It's a woman!
The intruder is a white woma-
You can't take out a single bitch?
Fine. You don't have to deal with her directly.
Just lure her out into my line of sight.
It's time for a fox hunt.
How did I miss from this distance?
Valmet!
Jonah?
No way! What are you doing here?
That drug would've knocked out an elephant!
What's taking you so long?
I've got your back! Go hunt down the boss!
Run! Run, Valmet!
I can hear you, boy.
A child soldier, huh?
There was one amongst the group Karen fought before.
Koko Hekmatyar's private soldiers, as I recall.
I see.
"Run! Run!"
"Avenge your fallen comrades at the place of their death!"
I can hear their voices!
I can hear my dead comrades in Heaven rejoice with gratitude!
The dead don't rejoice.
Oh yes they do.
That's how they were brought up.
I've finally found you, Chen Guoming of the Daxinghai Company.
Such insolence in the presence of a flag officer...
You're from UNFID, aren't you?
The FRDF's Major Velmer. You got old.
Not nearly as much as you did, I'm afraid.
But I'm surprised that you remember me.
I don't remember all the people I've killed.
However I failed to kill you, so I remember very well.
Now that you're here, this desert factory also has a special place in my memory.
The course that you patrolled under the UN's orders turned into a natural gas field.
Back then...
The second platoon's arrival was barely a minute away,
but I had yet to kill you, the leader of the first. In fact, you were nowhere to be seen.
It was humiliating.
Where were you?
Ah, right.
You were hiding under the corpses of your men.
I heard that you were a petty man,
but you've exceeded my wildest expectations.
Ever since then, I've been training to take revenge on you,
but the more I trained the more I started to imitate that fighting style you etched into my memory.
But my torment ends today.
It's time I left all of this behind me.
But before that, I must take down the enemy before me.
Hakkaa paalle!
.. ..
Stand, Chen Guoming!
I'll destroy you, just like you destroyed everything of mine back then!
Destroy? Very well.
You should thank me, Major.
It was losing everything that made you into the soldier you are today.
Though I can no longer run into battle, you shouldn't make light of me.
I won't hesitate to separate you from your head.
So hot...
What happened?
Ms Karen, it's terrible!
Chief Chen and all the staff were...
Shaojiang!
You won't get away with this!
Thanks.
Valmet...
What is it, Jonah?
Let's rejoin Koko and the others.
Valmet? Valmet!
I... I...
I hate this world!
A few days later...
Bonjour, Valmet.
Koko!
Good morning.
Hey, be careful.
You took a .45 caliber bullet there and in your right thigh.
If it weren't for Jonah's first aid, you'd be dead right now. Take better care of yourself.
I see you cut your hair.
I think you should either grow it long or cut it short like in the old days.
Um, Koko?
Aren't you angry with me?
Oh, I am. Was it so obvious?
Look at that bed!
Even the sheets are folded nicely!
The woman who shot you was recovering there.
Lieutenant Karen Low from the Daxinghai Company.
Until she vanished.
Like a puff of smoke!
This is too much!
Hush money for the Country D doctors,
hush money for using an army helicopter,
hush money to cover up Jonah's very existence,
and hush money for all the stuff that got destroyed!
And on top of that, they even want me to pay for Karen Low's treatment!
That's it.
That's all I'm angry about.
That's why the docs are making a fuss.
I can see it coming already. "Pay up!"
You know, this time,
you're the terrorist and I'm the one responsible for aiding and abetting you.
We're well on our way to becoming an extraordinary force of evil.
Major Velmer, I have but one thought in my head right now.
You were able to bring the souls of all your comrades who fell in the desert back to Finland.
You didn't leave a single one behind.
I respect you, Major.
Though this is coming from a force of evil, so take it as you will.
Koko, Koko!
What are you doing?
Major Velmer has completed her mission.
But what about Valmet?
I'm perfectly and totally yours, Koko!
Glad to hear it. Get well soon!
Don't forget your tools of the trade.
You'll need these, right?
It's time. I'll come by later.
Don't go on a rampage!
Oh, and regarding what I said earlier...
You should grow your hair out, for a number of good reasons.
Just wanted to try saying that.
Ms Hekmatyar, if you'd please...
Yeah, I'll pay for it!
And-
I'll pay for that too!
You were attacked by assassins again?
What were they like?
They were like street performers. A real weird bunch.
As for casualties, Lehm got a light wound and Lutz got stabbed in the ass.
His ass again?
Oh man, I missed seeing you smile!
I let them get away. Not like me at all, I know.
The real issue is who hired them.
Huh? They told you that?
Yeah! Pretty weird, huh?
Not that it matters much.
I'm letting Lehm and the others rest for a bit, then we'll regroup for the next job.
With you around, I'm sure it'll be fine.
You were awesome on that last job!
I didn't really do anything, though...
Oh, I need to express my gratitude! What would you like?
I'm hungry.
Doctor! That well-endowed patient is working out!
Wh... What?!
She's got two bullet wounds! I can't believe this!
Don't just scream, stop her!
Washington Suburbs
Good morning!
Morning!
Dad, stop leaving your sweaty clothes in front of the shower room!
You step on 'em?
Mom, say something!
Seriously, it's a good thing I made so much food!
You sure do pack it away!
See you later!
C I A HQ
Bookman!
Hey.
I'm glad you caught me.
Today's Operation Undershaft is canceled.
I gotta catch a plane, so I've got no more time to spare.
Please let the others know as well.
Seriously? I woke up early just for that!
Sorry.
Good morning.
Good morning, Chief Black.
You got my ticket?
Yes.
Then let's head to Dulles Airport.
Understood.
Chief, may I ask you a question?
Go on.
Why do your colleagues refer to you as a scholar, the "Bookman"?
Because I can speak Arabic.
I majored in ancient Arabic during college.
I guess that's why they think of me as a scholar.
The people of the Middle East also call me a literary man, or "Adib".
I originally wanted to become a historian specializing in Arabia, in fact.
The Italians call me "Burattinaio", the puppeteer.
I have so many nicknames I sometimes forget what my real name is.
Haha, no way.
I'm not kidding. I really do!
We're almost at the airport, Chief.

Koko Hekmatyar is in Alexandria right now.
Is that why we're meeting midway?
Well, at least he learned how to be careful.
Sorry.
Did I keep you waiting, Saw?
Yeah, you did.
Long time no see, Saw.
I'm glad to see you're doing well,
R.
