" Sophie thinks I have a mistress." " Are you worried about that?" "If you lived with Sophie, you'd understand." "I miss our army days." "We were happy then." "Well, I was happy, but you..." "Have you ever been happy?" " It's not Sophie that worries me." " Then what?" " Who is he?" " I thought he was you." "We couldn't find you." "Then one of my men told me that you were at Major Lescourt's funeral." "I thought it was a joke." " But who is he?" " A good question." "Come on." "He was being chased, and there is evidence he was recently tortured." "His death was not an easy one." "This was found in his pocket." "Matches from the Hotel Chevre d'Or." "Our men are there now." " Let's go." " Alain, I don't want you involved." "I am involved." "Did you see his face?" "Come on." "Monsieur Suverov, thank God!" "This man told me you were killed." "You only had your hair cut." " Suverov?" " Mikhail Suverov." "If you want access to his room, you can now ask M. Suverov." " May we search your room, sir?" " But of course." " Was the map I drew you correct?" " It was, thank you." " Did I get any messages?" " Yes, a telephone message." "Alex Bohemia." " Did he leave a number?" " No, monsieur." "You heard that woman." "Suverov must've been looking for me." "A stranger with your exact face and exact birth date." "He asks for directions to the street where you live." "A mystery, yes?" "An airline ticket from Nice to New York." "A New York driver's licence." "U.S. cash." "He was born five minutes after you." "I kept both of you for three months." "But I was sick." "I couldn't even nurse one of you." "I needed the money." "I had to do it." " Why did you choose me?" " I didn't." "I didn't have the courage." "Somebody else did it for me." "A lawyer from Paris." "He picked your brother..." "You were crying." "He saw that I needed money." "He said it was a good family." "What have I done?" "You survived." "Made a home for me." "You did what you had to do." "I don't blame you." " You should've told me." " I know." " What was the lawyer's name?" " Why?" "Somebody killed him, Mother." "He was trying to come home and they killed him." "Alain, please..." "Can you remember his name?" "Etienne St. Denis." "He had an office in Place Pigalle in Paris." "Parents lie to their children to prepare them for adult life." "If I don't go now, I'll regret it for the rest of my life." "You'll only open old wounds." "The lawyer can't bring him back." "My brother was adopted." "Through his family I can get to know him." "The lawyer is on the sixth floor." "Remember, I'll do the talking." "And then seafood." "I promise, seafood before we go home." "Get out!" "Go!" "Go!" "It was the man in the elevator." "Please, help!" "Help me!" "Don't hurt me." "The adoption papers are here." "My boss made me hide them." "Stay with me." "You'll be safe." " No!" " Come on, let's go." "Let's go." "Come on." "They've checked the entire floor." "There's no body." "The secretary said a Russian guy was questioning her boss." "He locked her in her room." "Suddenly the place was on fire." " Have you gone through everything?" " We'll keep looking." "He was adopted by a Russian family." "The father was a Soviet diplomat." "He emigrated to America in 1968." " When's the flight?" " What flight?" "Mikhail's flight to New York." "I want his passport." "No, that's evidence." "It was no coincidence that guy was Russian." "Sebastian, what happened to my brother could've happened to me." "32 years ago it was only luck that kept me in France." "He made a sacrifice and never knew it." "I've got to go." "They don't know Mikhail is dead." "If you go to New York..." "Maybe he isn't." " A vodka nightcap, M. Suverov?" " No, thank you." " This is called gridlock." " Next exit." "I'm writing a novel on the job." "Literary kind of stuff." "I see everything." "That's what it's all about, observation." "Take you, for instance, that accent of yours." "Is that European?" "I bet you've got a story to tell." "This is Davis Hartley here." "I'm not trying to rip you off." "I'd have to be stupid with a guy all bruised up like you." " You want to talk about it?" " No." "I'm not trying to rip off your experiences to put them in my novel." "I'm not some moral cretin." "I'm trying to make a point here." "I'm a professional cab driver." "That means I can find anything." "I could find a penguin in a sandstorm." "Anything..." "Hello!" "Stop talking." "You want to help?" "Find a guy named Alex Bohemia." "How the hell am I supposed to find an Alex Bohemia in New York City?" "Kind of like finding a penguin in a sandstorm." "Are you sure you've got the right address?" "This ain't Atlantic City." "Pick up your milk money and get inside!" "I'm looking for..." "You're in the wrong neighbourhood!" "I'm looking for a family." "Maybe you can..." "Wack accent." "You're way out of your hood, white boy." " Or are you a cop?" " Hey!" "Lay off, you little shits!" "Come on, old man." "He's the chump." "Thank you." "They're not scared of you." "They don't know who you are." " Are they supposed to be scared?" " Everybody's scared of you." "A big time gangster like you." "I thought you'd forgotten about us." "I haven't seen you here in a long time." "I'm not who you think I am." "When his family disappeared, there were a lot of rumours." "Some said they were back in Russia." "They had a store in Little Odessa." "The Russian mob controls that place." "Maybe that's why he joined them." " How old was he?" " 16." "Forced to live on the street." "This is a tough neighbourhood." " Did he ever mention me?" " No." "Your brother's." "He kept it here all these years." "Was he happy?" "Yeah, the last I saw of him." "He had matured." "Real serious." " But he had choices." " What choices?" "He was alone." "I'd have taken him in." "He was a strange boy." "Go back to France." "What you find here could be ugly." " Did he mention an Alex Bohemia?" " No." "But there's a nightclub in Little Odessa called the Bohemia." "Your vodka, Mr. Suverov." " Excuse me..." " Mr. Suverov, telephone call." "Mikhail..." "Are you crazy?" "What are you thinking, coming in here?" "The key wasn't in the mailbox because I had to cover for Darlene." "Take it." "You shouldn't have come in here." "What's the matter?" "Are you okay?" " Excuse me." " Alex..." "Half those butt-nosed guys out there will be having a heart attack." "You'd better get out of here." "I'll see you as soon as I get off." "Don't go to sleep." "We've got some catching up to do." "Is everything okay?" "Get out of here." "Mikhail, go back inside." "Ivan wants to talk to you." "We were family." "You betrayed us." "Enough, Mikhail." "Enough!" "This is your lucky day." "Get in!" "Dynamite!" "Was that Alex Bohemia?" "Good, it would've been structural letdown." " Do you know this place?" " Yeah, it's a fleabag hotel." "They say that Bret Easton Ellis threw up in a fig tree." " Now the thing won't stop growing." " Just relax." "Thanks." " I'll wait here for you." " Thank you for your help." "Wait, we're not done yet." "Find Alex." "My first chapter hangs on that." "Go home and use your imagination for Chapter One." "Last time I was here I stayed in room 323." "Is it available?" " No." "I've got 305 across the hall." " That's fine." " Good evening, Mr. Dzasokhov." " You're a very pretty girl, Alex." " The band is too loud." " It's a birthday party." "The band is too loud!" "Ten minutes, Yuri." "Ten minutes." "All I asked was that you hold Mikhail 10 minutes." "Is that a long time?" "No, that is a very short time." "How long can you hold your breath?" "A man I knew in Odessa could hold his breath 5 minutes, 33 seconds." "Did Mikhail talk to anyone while he was here?" "Nicholas, please, the man is trying to speak." "He was talking... to her." "So what did you and Mikhail talk about?" "I told him he had a phone call." " The caviar is fresh tonight." " Did I tell you how pretty you are?" "Do you have any idea what will happen to you if you lie to me?" " I will never lie to you." " If you lie to me, pretty girl... you won't be pretty any more." "Get back to work." "What she needs is a good..." "What are you doing over there?" "I've missed you." "You're so tense." "I'll help loosen you up." "What's this?" "Are you playing hard to get?" "Is this a game?" "All right, have it your way." "But no handcuffs this time." "You've got a lot harder since you went away." "Ivan was all over me after you left tonight." "He kept asking me stuff." "Did I talk to you?" "What did I say?" "He's like something that crawls out of an old pipe." "In a few days, this will all be behind us." "I can't do it." "I'm not Mikhail." "He's dead." "Come here." " The girl went up to 323." " The room's empty." "Did she leave?" "Do you recognize this man?" " Yeah!" "He's in room 305." " Room 305." "Good, let's go!" " I found this." " Where did he go?" "Where did he go?" "Tell me!" "I want them dead." "Get in!" "Go!" "Keep moving." "What's wrong?" "Are you okay?" "You were supposed to go home and write" "Who needs home?" "I'm always working, anyway." "I guess we got Chapter One finished." " My God!" " Is this Alex Bohemia?" "Great." "An unexpected development." "The whole thing's so scary." "We've got to go." "Come on." "In the Zanzibar Club an unidentifiied man and woman were beingpursued..." "He was in trouble." "He wouldn't admit it, though." "He always said he had everything under control." "He had a lot of money put away." "Enough for a lifetime." "He had a plan to get out of the mob." "I guess he was wrong." "They found him." "What did my brother mean to you?" "Everything." " Take me to his place." " His place?" "Are you crazy?" "You almost got us killed." "You don't know who you're dealing with." "If you want to kill yourself, okay, but you're not risking my life." "I can't go home or to work." "You've painted a target on my back." "Where's the bill?" "Mikhail used to say we had to keep on the move all the time." "It's time for us to move." "They'll find us." "The cabby didn't have to die, you know." "This is just the beginning." "They won't stop until you're dead." "You can't go to the police." "You can't hide, they're relentless." "All right, I'll bring you to your brother's home." "This explains why Mikhail picked a bank in Nice." "It looks like we've got another chance." "How did he hide a twin brother from us?" "Mikhail never contacted him." "We'd have known about it." "In 56 hours the Nice bank opens and we all make the headlines." "We'll be spending the rest of our lives wondering how we screwed up." "Washington doesn't like federal agents working for the Russian mob." "Our names are on that list." "Get the brother." "Convince him to work with us in Nice." "We'll get him." "Guys... keep this one alive." "I doubt if they were triplets." "Triplets..." "Hey, Alex, what are you doing?" "Look at this mess." "Tell me what you're looking for." "I'll help find it." "I wouldn't know what to tell you." "I'm just looking." " What did you find?" " He knew about me." " What did you do in the war?" " Sniper." "Why wait five years to find me?" "Jimmy!" "You in there?" "Open up, you shithead!" "This stuff's hot." "This is not your lucky day." "Tell your boss to leave me the fuck alone!" "Ivan!" "You look like your parrot died." " Mikhail's back." " Bring him to me." "How can I when I've got my hands tied behind my back." "Let me deal with him." "This is not a democracy." "You do what I say, understand?" "Mikhail has caused no trouble." "If the FBI had the list, we'd be at war with the Italians." "If he is here, the list is still in France." "Mikhail will take the proper course of action." "Bring him to me." "I meant no disrespect." "I'm just worried." "Remember when Goradni talked to the FBI?" "And Pietro?" "And Andrea?" "I took care of them for you, but Mikhail is different." "I know you feel like he's your son." "CRIME AND PUNISHMENT" "Yes, Dimitri." " Is this also Mikhail's place?" " No, my friend's." "You looked comfortable handling that gun today." "But you scared me when you tried to drown him in the jacuzzi." "I lost it." "Sorry." " Have you been at the Bohemia long?" " About a year." "I used to dance." "Nightclubs." "I make less money now, but it's a little more respectable." "I doubt you'll find anything here of your brother's." "It's worth trying." "What did he do to make all these people want to kill him?" "He talked about an insurance policy that would keep him alive." "The FBI was pressuring him to turn evidence on Kirov." "You think those aren't enough reasons to kill him?" "The only time my brother and I connected was when he died." "We both lost something." "Rise and shine, boys and girls." "Agents Pellman and Loomis." "FBI." "How are you?" "Alex Bartlett and Alain Moreau." "We know you're not Mikhail." "You're not part of the Russian mob." "That's a first." "What do you want?" " The men who are trying to get you." " And?" "Mikhail kept a detailed list." "People, places, events..." "the entire Russian mob operation." "Mikhail was helping us with our investigation of the Russian mob." "He wanted to set things right." "He wanted to help us." "He was going to give us the list..." "before he was killed." "The list is in a bank in Nice." "In Nice we want you to pretend..." " That I'm Mikhail." " Exactly." "We knew you'd help." "But I don't." "Can you protect her from being killed?" "Can you protect me?" "You sure didn't protect my brother." "Hey pal, we're your only hope." "I'll take my chances." "Why don't we try another approach?" "Come here!" " The FBI are supposed to help us." " At gunpoint it's not called help." "Who isn't trying to kill us at this point?" "Did you believe the FBI when they said Mikhail was working with them?" " No way!" "He would've told me." " They lied." "They knew he was dead." "The Russians didn't know that." "They weren't surprised to see me alive." " If they didn't kill him..." " Who else cares about the list?" " The FBI." " The FBI, yeah." " Where are you going?" " To see Kirov." "Don't leave me." "I'm coming with you." " It's too dangerous." " Not again." "First Mikhail, now you." "You've got to let me come with you." "We're in this together, right?" "Alex, I promise you..." "I'll come back for you." "I promise." "Take me to Kirov." "Now." "Sit down." "Kirov asked me to bring him in." "I'm so sorry, Kirov." " Don't do it." " Back off!" "I came to talk... to Kirov." "Mikhail?" " You're not Mikhail." "Who are you?" " I'm his brother." " Where is Mikhail?" " He's dead." " I see I got your attention." " How did he die?" " You tell me." " I had nothing to do with it." " You don't need your gun here." " Your people tried to kill me." " I only wanted to speak to you." " To speak?" "In what language?" "They tried to kill me..." "and they almost succeeded." " Dimitri..." " Get out." " I just wanted..." " Get out!" "Go look after Ivan." "Mikhail..." "I'm sorry." "What is your name?" " Alain." " Alain." "Come." "We need to talk." "Ivan and Mikhail..." "they were like sons to me." "I need a favour." "I want to go back to Nice." "Back home." "Yes, I can help you." "Mikhail had a list in a bank in Nice." "Get it for me." "We help each other." "Go." "Call an ambulance." "The other side!" "Get him!" " Don't move!" " Okay, Peter Pan." "Get in the car." "I have a contract out on him." "If you stop protecting him, he'll be dead." "Your problem is you don't think." "You kill." "You're not Kirov." "What did you say?" " We need him to get the list." " Why will he get you the list?" "Because you'll persuade him to be a good boy in Nice." " And after?" " Give us 24 hours, then he's yours." "Ivan, we know you have an alibi, but we know you had Kirov killed." " So no more trouble, okay?" " Listen!" "I'm running things now." "That girl knows too much." "She's mine now." "You have visitors." "I hope after a good night's sleep you've seen the light." "You win." "In a few hours we go banking." "So try and get some rest." "Don't worry, I've checked it out." "Everything's copacetic." "What's the plan?" "We've got to get out of here." "No plan." "Nothing." "Tomorrow I really find out who my brother was." "They're not gonna let us go..." "even when they get the list." "Monsieur Suverov, welcome again." "Is there anything I can do for you?" " We'd just like to go in." " The vault is for customers only." " My colleague and I..." " I'm sorry, bank policy." "Make yourself comfortable and stay as long as you desire." "Unfortunately we must go through the identity protocol again." " Please, identify yourself." " Mikhail Suverov." " The second name?" " Alain Moreau." "Your mother's given name..." "Clean and quiet." "Here, monsieur." " Do you smoke?" " No." "Can I get a cigarette?" " And some gum." " Certainly." " I need to open my security box." " May I see your ID?" "This is the one under the name Alain Moreau." "As you have accessed this box, one oftwo things has happened:" "We are togetheragain, a family, or I am dead, and you shouldn't trust anyone." "I know you are a great marksman, so here is a gift." "Yourfavourite." "One of the boxes contains evidence against the FBI and the Russian mob." "It's forthe U.S. Embassy." "When I found outaboutyou, it was luck." "A newspaper." "The momentIsaw the picture, I knewI had a brother." "You reminded me I had a chance, and I decided to quit the mob." "I didn't contact you because everything in my world is poison." "I wanted to leave that life behind." "To reunite us." "I'm sorry if that never happens." "Forgive me." "Tell our mother that I don't blame her for what she did." "I only hope we are listening to this tape together." "The money is foryou and ourmother." "You are my only friend." "God bless." "Everything in the small box, turn it over to the U.S. Embassy." "Sit down." "Get the fuck out of here!" " We're clearing the building." " We're not leaving without our guy." "Don't shoot." "I'm a cop." "Let's go." "Sorry, sir." "Let's go." "Put your hands up and step out of the van." "Put your hands up and step out of the van." "Back it up!" "Get out!" "If you move, you die." "Sebastien!" "Sebastien." "Come on." "Me first." "Get me out!" "Take a number." "Don't leave me, please." "I beg you." "Help me!" " Are you okay?" " Yeah, thank you." "Two men took the girl with them..." "that way." " Don't shoot." " Where did they go?" "I need the car." "Sorry." "He's coming up." "Don't try that again!" "Come on." "Come on." "Alain!" "Listen!" "I know you don't have the list." "But that doesn't matter now." "I want the money." "I know you have Mikhail's money and I want it." "Why don't you give it to me?" "Then you walk." "Do we have a deal?" "Do we have a deal?" "I will kill her!" "Do you understand me?" "The Americans have all the evidence." "They've made dozens of arrests." "And thanks to his money, you can afford to eat here." "Hello, Alain... are you nervous about Alex meeting your mother?" "I'm not nervous." "Okay, I'm nervous." "Well, it's too late now." "Wish me luck, okay?" "Do you feel okay?" "It's no reason to be nervous." " I'm not nervous." " Good." "Let's take a walk." "It's nearby." " It's relaxing." " Good." "One of us needs to relax." "Do you know what you will say?" "I'm not asking you to lie." "I don't need to lie." "I'll tell your mother the truth about Mikhail." "That he was kind... and generous." "Honest." " Just like his brother." " Thank you."
