"Well, then help yourself by telling me about Ambassador Wu." "You said you worked for him for a long time." "Ambassador Wu was an outsider." "He knew China's future lay in economic growth."

"He's in bed with the triads and definitely linked to the refugees." "But I need proof that he took out Wu to kill the trade agreement." "I'm not so sure about your theory." "I mean, David Chan was supporting the trade initiative." "SHAW:" "Appeared to be." "But ask yourself this:" "Who benefits the most from Wu's death?" "JULIA:" "Besides Mrs. Wu?" "SHAW:" "If the trade agreement is signed tomorrow..." "Chan's business monopoly would be over." "He'd have to compete with the Western companies." "Kill Wu and the U.N. trade agreement with him, Chan keeps China to himself." "You make a lot of sense for a car thief." "Okay." "Just relax." "[JULIA CLEARS THROAT]" " Okay." "Ready."

" Whoa, whoa, wait a minute." "Wait, stop." " What?" "Rewind." "Play it again." "All right, let's go frame by frame and look very carefully." "JULIA:" "Chan's looking before the shot was fired."

"Thank you, Eleanor." "Thank you, but no."

"If Chan is serious about killing this deal, that's where he'll make his next move." "All right, I want you to take the videotape and Wu's recording to Eleanor Hooks." "She can get it to the right people without bringing me into it." "Meanwhile I'll provide the final piece of this puzzle, finish this once and for all." " Where are you going?"

"As my most effective asset in the field..." "I'm almost embarrassed that you're not on my payroll." "Then maybe you'd like to make me an offer I can't refuse." "I would, but I'm afraid you would never get to enjoy the rewards." "Well, guess this is my reward." "[GRUNTING]" "Excellent, actually." "Assassinate the man who's been tracking you... and at the same time, blow apart the trade agreement that could cost you billions." "Now, I know that nothing is what it seems." "But I'm dying for you to explain this." "[GRUNTING]" "If this information were to get out... the scandal could seriously damage China's credibility on the world stage." "Do more harm than good."

"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 been looking 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 our most secret military technology and selling it to our enemies... weakening us from the inside like a virus."
