"Bring her over here!" "Take it easy, she just a kid!" "Yeah, well, I could kill this kid." " You're lying to me." " I'm not!" "I don't know what you're talkin' about, I don't know what you want from me, I swear I don't." "I have three children." "The first thing you have to learn as a father, is to know when your children are lying to you." "You're lying to me." "And if you don't stop, I'm going to use one of those tortures your people are so famous for, on your little body until you tell me what I want to know." "For the last time, give me the numbers." "If you calculate it this way, the answer is 350." "If you do it the other way, it's 365." "Only one way's right." "I'm sorry, Mr. Su, I mean no disrespect, but, your way of doing it is all wrong." "Mei, we need to put you in a different school." "But all my friends are here, and my mom..." "Mei, you're too smart, you're too talented." "You need show how good you are at a special school, and you can make new friends there." "Don't be so sad, Mei, we'll always be your friends." "The kids in Beijing are really nice and you'll have a good life there." "I wouldn't like them." "I like my friends here." "I don't want to make new friends, and I don't like math." "You go ahead and do your mathematics there and we'll write to you." "We'll email you in Beijing every each week." " Promise?" " Of course, you can count on us..." " Would we want to lose our famous friend?" " We're always here for you, Mei." " How dare you come here?" " Mom!" "Enough!" "Stop!" "You have no right to be here!" "No right!" "You should be in jail!" " You get out of here!" "You get out of here!" " Sorry." "I'll kill you!" "I'll kill you!" "You piece of Garbage!" "He should never have been in there with me." " Luke!" "C'mon!" "What!" "Are you crazy, Man?" " Get off!" "Get off!" "I never liked you, Luke." "You're a better fighter than 90% of the guys you go in the cage with, but you just let 'em pound on ya like you're a side of beef." "You already lost to every chump in the circuit... but last night, of all nights, you're supposed to go down in the 2nd, you sonofabitch." " Once!" " Back off!" "I hit him once!" "Where'd you find him, a fuckin' playground?" " YouTube, you asshole." "The kid's a internet sensation until you put him in a coma." "Which, frankly, I do not give a shit about." "But you cost me a million dollars!" "Which is nothing compared to what you cost Docheski." "Yeah!" "You recognize the name?" "He was betting' on you big time to take the dive!" "And he's gonna take it out on me, too!" "'Cause he knows I'm the schmuck that set this whole thing up." "Unless I deliver your head with a down payment." "You know how the Russians are." "That makes 10,000, that makes 20,000." "Mei!" "Oh, Mei!" "This is my niece, do you know her?" " She is a friend in my class." " She said your brain's like a computer." "I talked to your voice teacher, and he said the same thing." "That is why you are here, my pretty little thing..." "I don't like computers." "Want to know why?" "They leave tracks." "They also tell me: "Go away..."" "They tell me that when you learn something you never forget it, is that right?" "You listen!" "Set those numbers right!" "You wouldn't want your mother to die because you're a stupid girl, do you?" "Good!" "Your friend and your teacher were both right." "Mr. Su told me that your father went away when you were little." "Your mother's sick and pretty soon you're going to be alone." "Do you like being alone?" "We'll take good care of your mother, you can count on that." "Your new father here is Chan and he'll take you to America." "And in return, I want you to help us with our accounting." "You got the right number, so leave the right message." "Call me when you get this, Annie." "Call me right away." "If you're out, don't go home." "If I'm scarin' you, that's good." "Call me." "Annie?" "Is that it?" "I heard you were some kind of tough guy." "I don't think so!" "No fighting?" "You just going to sit on the floor like a dog who wants to die?" "Sorry it had to be so messy." "The boys are still learning." "And I'm not a doctor, but I thing she was eating for two." "Like the Charlie Manson family." "My father was going to send someone else, but I'm making my bones." "You make your bones by killin' someone who can hurt you back!" "And who would that be?" "You?" "Well, why not?" "You just killed your wife." "I didn't kill her... you did!" "But... you want to hurt me?" "Good!" "I want to see you try." " Get it over with!" " Over?" "You've cost my father money..." "made my family look bad." "Now we're going to make an extra special example out of you." "So!" "We looked into your records... not much to find." "Work for City, garbage collection, sanitation." "Good benefits, but no glamour, eh?" "Father and mother... dead!" "No brothers or sisters, which is too bad." "Because I would like to take them from you, too." "But you love your wife." "We know that." "So!" "Here's the deal:" "You are free to go, but we will have eyes on you." "Not always." "But when you least expect it... we'll be there." "Anyone you try to make friends with or even talk to or anything or bring hot dog or anything... will die..." "like your wife..." "because of you." "Of course you can always end it!" "Jump off a bridge... throw yourself in front of a train." "Damn your eternal soul to hell, if you believe in that kind of bullshit." "Personally..." "I don't!" "So, I'd go for it, but... but I am not you... thank God." "So do what you want." "If you stay here tomorrow, we're going to kill the landlady." " What was her name?" " Tobeloski is her name." "Mrs. Tobeloski." "Nice lady." "Clean up the mess, Garbageman." "All right!" "She's your daughter and she's an American citizen." "I ain't gonna ask what the deal is with her, that's your business." "But I'm gonna tell ya, pullin' strings is hard work." "And hard work don't come free." "Your price, Captain Wolf?" "Chinatown Precinct take goes up 20%." "Bronx on your 21st, Brooklyn Divisions each go up by 12%... monthly." "That's a steep price for a passport and some papers for a little girl." "Things are tough all over." "Chinatown gives-up 10% off." "Bronx and Brooklyn will stand by the current rate." "And the fact that we won't start shooting cops and their families in the streets like dogs at the first signs of pressure." "Things are tough all over." "Hey, Man, I know you, I saw you fight in Jersey." "That was really good." "You knocked that guy out!" "I got some good shit, man." "Good fight." "This week it's 26,000, last week it was 26." "The Red Army is 15,000 exactly every week." "Last week was the same." "It lost money lost in May, but a profit in July and August." "Shao Cheng, it was 42 last week and 42.5 this week." "It goes up 7% each month." "Total profit went up by 72,535." "We took 5% from Mr. Liang." "They receive a weekly profit from 6,000 to 80,000." "And the casino?" "Last week it was 800,000, and this week 800,000." "Exactly 800,000?" "Almost 800." "I'm not asking you if it's almost 800, I want the exact number." "$785,370." "And the week before?" "It's losing money." "Enough." "Listen!" "Tonight you get a new boss." "If any money goes missing again he won't be the only dead guy around here!" " What?" " Why?" "Because he was hurting business, and business is a serious matter." "I understand business, but why beat him if we are going to kill him anyway?" "Look!" "You don't understand how this business works." "Eat your food, and listen to your father." "Now eat!" " You can't come in here." " I gotta get something to eat, Man!" "Well, you can't!" "Go back, Man!" "Lights out!" "Lights out in five." "Nice kicks." "Better be here in the mornin'." "or you'll be wearin' 'em on your ears, or chewing' your feet off to your god damned ankles." "I could really use some new shoes, Man." "I could do whatever you want, you know?" "Whatever get you through the night?" " I can't take..." " Shut up, shut up!" "Shut up, okay." "I still got my old ones." "You get those feet looked at." " And get well soon." " I will." "Thank you, Man." "Jesus loves you, Brother." "Jesus loves you." "Lights out!" "Lights out 'til 7 a.m." "Mei, I have bad news." "I heard them talking and..." "Your mother is gone." "She died two weeks ago in the hospital." "They weren't going to tell you." "But I'm telling you that you can pray for her soul to find its way heaven." "Please say anything." "If they find-out I told you..." "I won't say anything." "Thank you." "Everybody up!" "Everything must be cleared by 9 a.m." "Please have your I.D.s made by 3:30" "Please remove all your personal belongings." "Everybody up!" "Let's go!" "Take your belongings with you." "You know the drill." "So, you wanna tell us what happened." " Someone liked the shoes." " Funny guy!" "Do you think this a joke?" "You know, you guys are outta luck, crack security squad..." "You were right here, you coulda said somethin'." "But you were too busy sleepin' off this contraband, right?" "You come into this shelter again, and I'm gonna run your raggedy ass back out into the street." "Mei, I want you to go to your room and memorize these numbers." "I can remember them." "These figures are very important." "You must be very careful with this..." "for your mother's sake." "Can you really do this?" "I can repeat it back to you now, but it's long and boring." "Only one day at this and she so sure of herself!" "If she says she knows the numbers, then she knows it." "I promise." "Okay!" "Good!" "Now, I've got something for you to do for me." "Hey!" "Watch where you're going, Man." "I could give you a kick for that, okay?" "!" "Huh?" "!" "Four fifty-five." "You got no money, you gotta get outta line." "I got money." "He doesn't have any money, look at him." "Mister, I told you, if you don't have money, you have to leave, okay?" "Get outta line, people are waiting." "C'mon, Buddy, you gotta go!" " Is this guy giving' you trouble?" " He's crazy, Officer, get him outta here, okay?" "All right, c'mon, let's go!" "Hey, you!" "C'mon, let's go!" "Out!" "Onto the street!" "So, Buddy Boy, you want to be a clown, go join the circus." "Not in my precinct, you hear me?" "I don't wanna see you around here." "Hey..." "Jesus Christ!" "Look what the cat dragged in!" "Unbelievable." " Look at him." " Look at him?" "How about the smell?" "I'll call the boys." "Mei, these instructions will take you to someone... that will give you a new number." "Remember that number... and that will lead you somewhere else... and there you'll get the final instructions." "Miss us, partner?" "Welcome back to the force." "Mei, remember 10,000 and 20,000." "I have confidence in you." "I'm sorry, I can't let them have you..." "Come back." " How's your day been, Luke?" " Started lousy." "But it's lookin' up, isn't it?" "Luke Wright, the Big Apple's hardest cop... once upon a time." "Always could take a shot." "But you know what your real talent is?" "You're a uniter!" "I mean, who'd a' thought that us and the Russkies would ever be on the same page about anything." "Not me!" "Nice to see you, Rat!" "I've been wantin' to do this ever since the day you opened your big, fuckin' mouth." "When we heard what Docheski did to you..." "I had to laugh." "We felt bad for Annie, you know... it was the breaks." "She knew who she was with." "When it come up on the street you were back, we couldn't believe how fuckin' ears." "Now, why would you come back?" "Why wouldn't you disappear somewhere far away, huh, like the moon?" "I missed home." "You were one of us, Luke, we were a team." "We're a family." " Then you threw us under the bus." " We were kings, you sonofabitch." "Now we are a bunch of god damned suckers!" "Hey, hey, hey, easy Benoit, huh?" "When you come back, we figure you want to die." "You know, we got a pool goin' on when you're gonna end it and how, you know," "Bus, train..." "I got my money on "Suicide by Cop"." "C'mon, take it!" "Take a shot." "C'mon." "Annie's waiting for you." "Question is, do you really think she wants to see you again." "Actually my real talent is costing' other people money." "You oughta know that, Lasky." "You're going to lose that bet." "Unless you want to shoot me in the back..." "wouldn't be your first time." "What don't you just end it?" "What are you waiting for?" "More people around you to die?" "What are you waiting for?" "For the last time, give me the numbers." "You're a very brave girl... and clever." "But do you know how we knew exactly what you can do," " where you're going to be, and when?" " Someone told you that." "That's right." "Can you guess who?" "Bring her in." "Your friend, the one who told you about your poor mother, when the scamp who took you from home would not." "She's working for us with a smile." "Mei, I told them what they wanted to know, and they gave me a bunch of money." "If you do this for them, they'll help you out, too." "You're really a stupid woman." "Da!" "In English!" "You can't do business with these people." "You gave them what they wanted, now they're going to kill you." "I said, speak in English!" "Well?" "She won't tell me anything." "My father is a patient man." "I am not." "Tell him what he would know or I'll..." "N-Y-P-D!" "Open the door!" "What the hell?" "We got a report of a disturbance." " Someone's ratted us out!" " Hold your fire!" "You can make this easy or you can make it hard." "Open the door or we come in by force." "Bullshit, Boo!" "You come in here you go out feet first, I swear on my mother." "They're in there, Captain." "I don't know what the hell you're lookin' for, they're not cooperating." "You better get down here before things go to hell." "Negative negative." "This is big." "I'm goin' back to the Station and monitor the City." "I'll get back to you." "All right, we got her pined-down, You know what I want." "We have a deal." "Get the girl, alive if you can... dead if you can't." "We go in, Brooklyn's take goes up by 10%., that's the new deal." "Hold on, I got an incoming call." " Hey, Emile, what's up?" " Take your men off, Boo." "Whatever the Chinese offer to you, I'll up it by 5%." "Get her back here!" "The bathroom!" "All right, Quan, I got the Russians offering-up Brooklyn's take by 7%." "Bronx the same. so, I don't know what ta tell you." "I talked to my guys, they're willin' to go to war over this." "You know, you're gonna be stuck between us and the Russians, like Hitler, fightin' on two fronts, so..." "You better think hard about this one." "10%." "Both precincts." "Final offer." "Hey, Mack, both these bastards are willin' to pay a stiff price for this little Chink girl." "Whatever she's got, I want it." "So, what's our plan?" "I get the Russians to drop their guard, you go in." "If she catches a bullet, I want you to take-out every last one of the Bolshevik scumbags." "All right, Emile, your offer's good." "I'm gonna call my guys off, only because I like you better!" "Bullshit!" "You're a greedy bastard, Wolf." "You got the scent of something big and now you want it all for yourself." "But I have to tell you something before you send your men in, guns blazing." "She's gone." "What do you mean, she's gone?" "She has escaped, and with all your men out there I can't follow." "I offer you a truce and you will find her." "But if the Chinese find her first, that will be a thing you regret as long as you live." "Docheski, what does she have?" "Do we have a truce, Captain Wolf?" "The girl is Chinese, eleven years old girl." "She speaks Mandarin and English." "...to find her and bring her straight to 7th Street." "She's headed for subway." "I don't know how they found out." "Oh, really?" "You don't know?" "Then you're really stupid." "If the police or the Russians get to the girl first, you're going down." "I'll bring you their heads." "Sorry, I..." "She's here!" "Lost my lock on the Russian's cell on J Street." "Sounds like they went into the subway station." "Men heading' down." "You?" " The garbage collector?" " You got bad information." "I never collected garbage..." "I disposed of it." "Don't lose sleep, he had it comin'." "You all right?" "It's okay." "Oh, shit!" "Hey there, Hon, we're the police." "Everything's all right." "Hey, what's your name, Hon?" " This is her." " I don't know, they all look alike to me." " You got that picture up?" " Yeah, let me see..." "In New York City, you don't see somebody for years... you bump into them twice in the same day." "I'm not gonna hurt you, Honey." "Police, stop!" "What the hell did you do, Kid?" "A lot of those men who're chasing you are bad." "You wanna tell me why they're after you?" "You understand me?" "You speak English?" "What do you mean she got away?" "Who took her?" "We don't know!" "It wasn't the police!" "Some guy showed up and took her away." "I don't care!" "You make sure that the girl comes back alive, or I'll skin your alive!" "The other way!" "The cars coming!" "The other way!" "Are you crazy, Man?" "C'mon, c'mon, c'mon." "Hold on." "If this goes on, a lot of innocent people are gonna get hurt." "Want that?" "Good!" "Then do what I say." "Out of the car!" "Go get her!" "You okay?" "Let's go." "I'm not five years old." "Then keep up!" " You had her and you lost her." " No, Captain, we didn't lose her." " She was taken from us by force." " The Russians?" "Not the Russians." " Well... it was Luke Wright." " What?" " Captain Wolf." " Not now, Teague!" "The mayor wants you, Captain." " Put him through on 2." " He's not on the phone." "He wants you at the Mansion... yesterday!" "There you go." " Thank you, Mr. Ivanov." " Thank you." "Mr. Ivanov!" "Here you are, Mr. Ivanov." "Room 1012, Tenth floor." "Thank you." "You like a nice hotel?" "I've never stayed in a nice hotel." "No one's gonna look for us in one." "Trace started..." "almost done." "Trace just about done." "Almost, almost..." "Mei's at a hotel." "Man, I don't wanna run a shower." "You could use one." "I couldn't just let those Russians grab you off the train." "Why did you save me?" "I didn't save you..." "you saved me!" "...pay you back." "My name is Luke." "Mei." "Did you have parents, Mei?" " I have a father." " What's his name?" "Chin Quong." "We're talking about the same guy." "He didn't have any kids last time I checked." "Wouldn't make sense, wouldn't be a day over 3 years old." "I'm adopted." "He get you from back home?" "Chan isn't the fatherly type." "Why are you here, Mei?" "To count." "You were over sent by the old guy." "Chan's boss, what's his name." "No computers, no electronic trails, just what you have in your head, right?" " Do you know Jiao Han?" " I know of him." "He told me a number, a very long number." "I was going someplace for get another number and more instructions, but the Russians came and shot everyone." "Then the police came and I ran away." "Now you know everything." "Happiness for you?" "Wanna go back to Han Jiao?" "I make too much trouble..." "bad business." "After I do what he asks, he kills me..." "good business." "So, what about this number?" "It's a long, boring number." "I can tell you." "It wouldn't mean anything to me." "How do you know it's one number and not a bunch of separate numbers?" "You're a crazy man.." "but not so stupid." "Is there anything interesting to you about these numbers?" " Maybe a few of them." " Why?" "Because they have a three or a seven before them." "All the numbers are random, but..." "five of them has a seven before, and eight of them has a three before." "That's too many times to be random!" "It is a code." "What else?" "Nothing." "So, it's the three and the seven that are interesting because they happen too many times to be random?" "Because they're not numbers, they're words." "Right-left or left-right." "Old school." "A combination to a safe." " In the hotel?" " Yes." "Where?" "I don't know exactly." "Where are you?" "Not far away." "A message from Mr. Han:" "Lose her again and you're dead." "About five eleven, brown hair, 30's." "Probably came in here less than a few hours ago." " Sir, we're not allowed to discuss our guests." " So, he's a guest?" " Did he check in?" " I'm sorry, Sir, we... we're not at liberty to..." "He was with a Chinese girl, eleven years old." "I'm her father." " And I'm very worried about her." " I'm so sorry, um..." "I..." "I can call the police for you..." "Do that and I blow your brains out." "Now!" "What room is he in?" "What room?" " I think... maybe I put him on the tenth floor." " What room?" " I swear, he didn't have a little girl with him." " Room." " I just need to check." " Then check quick," " or I put a bullet in your brain..." "Quick!" "Get your hand up!" " You don't want any part of this." " Hands up so I can see 'em." "No one leaves the hotel." "Ten twelve." "He's in room ten twelve." "I thought you said no one would look for us here!" " It's off, I turn it off, no one can call," " It doesn't need to be on." "Get back!" "Back!" "Get down on the floor!" "Everybody back!" "Write down the numbers!" "Just the ones with the 3 and the 7 in front... quick!" "You!" "Get over there!" "Stay down, stay down." "I'll try to get you someplace safe." "If we get separated, don't tell them you told me anything!" " Mei, if they try to scare you..." " Try?" "I'm so scared already!" " Yeah, me, too." "Remember, lie!" " We're almost there." "If you see them downstairs, try not to kill the girl." "Back inside." "Follow them!" "I'm going back down and cut them off!" "The cops are here." "Hold them off 'til I give the word!" "Do not let them in!" "Everybody stay down." "You ain't goin' nowhere." "Hey!" "Where you going?" "Step back!" "Stop!" "Down!" "Get back!" "Whoa!" "Get up!" "Everybody up!" "We're getting out of the hotel." "Up!" "Up!" "Don't move!" "Don't move!" "Exit this way and keep moving!" "Anyone who doesn't, dies..." "like this!" "Hold your fire!" "Hey!" "Stop right there!" "Drive, drive!" "Hey, what the hell are you doing?" "My car!" "Do something!" "He took my fuckin' car." "Head Downtown, I'll give you the address in a minute." "Shit!" " Hey, Buddy!" "You wanna give me address?" " Wait a minute, just hold on." "Who's this?" "Who do you think!" "It's Peter!" "Don't you have my number in your phone?" "Peter, they said you were dead." "Well, they were wrong." "Sorry you're disappointed." "What are you doing?" "Don't get distracted!" "I got the numbers." "Are you sure?" "The Police are tailing me." "I'm trying to lose them." "Hurry-up and copy these numbers down." "Igor, put these numbers into the phone." "Okay, give me numbers." "Are you crazy?" "I'm about a mile away." "He probably isn't losing the tail." "Should we leave the restaurant?" "No, it is better to use the crowd as a cover." "Get into position!" "Okay, Peter, meet with me!" "We're at Mama's, are you going to get here soon?" "Yeah, I'm coming." "He's here..." "Luke Wright is back in the City." " In my city." " Actually, he's been back for a while." " A while?" "What's a while?" " Maybe a year." "Turn that god damned thing off!" "What's going on, Wolf?" "And how is Luke Wright involved in it?" "I figured I might ask you the same question." "Don't try to game me!" "You're not even a pawn... playing on a board so big you can't even see the edge, that's all you've ever been." "I knew about Luke Wright." "Which is more than you can say until five minutes ago." "What you know about Luke Wright rates less than a paragraph in a very fat book." "After the towers fell, when our manpower was spread-out tracking terrorist activities," "I was the one who formed a special task force to deal with the crime that was filling the gap, and don't you ever fuckin' forget that I'm the one that put you in charge!" " I never forget... my work made you Mayor." " Your work?" "You think Luke was just one of your cops?" "When I put together your team, I knew I needed an edge no ordinary detectives could give me." "Something "surgical"." "I called friends in places buried so deep they don't officially exist." "They were sympathetic." "A week later they send Luke Wright." "Those wise-guys who vanished over the last seven years?" "You think that was an internecine war?" "Those cocaines you found in the gutter in Harlem, Freddy Petrovich in Brooklyn..." "Tommy Lau in Chinatown." "Luke Wright is a ghost." "Very deadly ghost." "And it worked like a charm, too." "Then you dicks had to get greedy and pad your pockets." "Luke's a killer, but he's an honest one." "When he threatened to take the whole thing to I.A., it took some people with a lot of brown stuck to their pajamas to talk him off the ledge." "If my team gets dismantled, we're P.I.s again." "But if Luke Wright's so connected how does he end up in Jersey cage fighting' on the B circuit?" "Do I look like a shrink?" "Get everybody on this." "Once Luke Wright gets on a roll, only one man in this city can take him on one to one." "Excuse me, I know this is a closed door, but there was just a major gun battle downtown at a hotel." "The media's going nuts, you're gonna need to make a statement." "Han Jiao is in the city also." "He gave this little Chinese something, I don't know what." " Luke Wright grabbed her before I could." " What?" " I said Luke..." " Yeah, yeah." "I heard you the first time." "Close every exit out of Manhattan, make sure that neither Wright or the girl gets away." "You get commission, let 'em go, you'll need a shovel to dig your own grave." "That girl is not leaving this City." "Did he kill that Russian?" "I don't know." "He didn't tell me." "Did he ask for the numbers?" "Everyone's asked for the numbers." "What did you say to them?" "Huh?" " I didn't say anything." " What?" "I said nothing!" " You're lying!" " Uncle Han, I don't lie to you." "Your mother must be turning in her grave because her daughter's lying." "Uncle Han, I swear, I pretend not to speak the language, and don't understand it well, but..." "I didn't say anything because I knew you'd be angry." "I swear by my mama I told you the truth." "We recovered the girl, but the information might have been compromised." "Should we change our time frame?" "Impossible, now that the whole damned thing has gone supernova, what's gonna happen is gonna happen tonight." " The meeting-place needs to be changed." " Where to?" "I'll let you know." "Here!" "Right here!" "Slow down." "Naw, naw, you don't bring no hookers in my cab, man." "Just keep the meter running." "Ladies..." "Good evening." " Name?" " We don't have a reservation." "It's full tonight, but we should be able to find you a place." " Get out!" "Take a walk!" " We have tables downstairs," "We can sit upstairs, if you like." "Sir, do you have a preference?" "Sir?" "We'll just get a drink at the bar." "I want you to give me a kiss and then lie and walk out of here." "But..." "Tell 'em you forgot something outside..." "but you don't come back!" "Give me a White Russian, please." "Today's not your lucky day." "What the hell do you mean?" "As I said, not your lucky day." "What does he drive and where is it parked?" "A silver SUV in the alley outside." "Vassily." "Not even close." "Who is this?" "The guy who's been killing your boys all night." "The guy who has your son tied up in a very dark place." "Now, here's what I want..." "Do you think I give a shit about what you want?" "Do you think you can blackmail me because you have Vassily?" "Kill him and go to hell!" "Oh, I'm goin' to hell, all right." "But I'm not going to kill your boy..." "I keep him around." "Like a pet." "A very badly treated pet." "I'm going to do things to him that'll make him ashamed to look in the mirror afterward." "But I will do them." "Vassily's gonna me tell everything he knows about your operation." "And then what you going to do?" "Tell the police?" " You want me to laugh?" " Who said anything about the police?" "I'm gonna share the information with the competition, the ones I haven't already killed." "Anything that'll take from you, I will." "First I want to take your trophy wife." "Then I'm gonna take your trophy children." "I'm going to leave you with nothing." "When I'm done, you won't even be a memory of a memory." "But that doesn't have to happen." "What do you want?" " I want to know what's in the safe." " What safe?" "The safe the girl gave me the combination to, that safe." "30 million dollars." "The kid was on her way to get a second number, what's in the second safe?" "Something worth 30 million dollars." "To who?" "No idea." "That's 'cause you're only half-smart, Emile." "So, here's the deal..." "You tell me where the first safe is, I take the money and let your boy go." "Lie to me and your world ends..." "you have my word on that." "Idiot!" "I know when a man is working alone." "And you're as alone as one can be." "You need a small army to get near that safe!" " The kind of army I have." " Had!" "It's been shrinking by the minute." "Last chance before I hang up and go to work on your son." "You going to kill me, Garbageman?" "You could have taken us out that day, couldn't you?" "But you just sat there." "Let us ruin you, let us make you nothing." "I guess finding out about that safe gave you new motivation, eh, Garbageman?" "I wouldn't spend my time talking if I were you..." "I'd spend it praying:" "when this is over, that little girl's still alive." "Pray!" "When and where?" "The underpass, under the bridge, one hour." "Sorry I pointed a gun at you... when the Russians attacked us." " It was..." " Business..." "I know." "Good!" "That's good!" "You understand." "We'll get this done and you'll be safe with me and Uncle Han." "I promise to be a better father to you than the one who left you and your mother." "There's no one in the world who cares more about you." "You know that, don't you?" "The gang's all here." "Almost." " Bernie get to call in sick?" " He's in the hospital, Dickhead!" " You broke his trachea." " I didn't know a trachea could break." " Hope they can fix it." " Yeah!" "How about I fix you, you..." "Hey!" "Hey!" "Hey!" "Hey!" "Not here!" "Been a while, Luke." "Can't say I missed you." "So, let's get down to business." "Do you really want your hands full?" "Scotch's, where else." "That's good!" "I've been in restaurants all night." "And all I was served was lead." "Anyone got a light?" "You know what, screw this!" "Look, Captain, you asked us to come here so we came." "but I ain't gonna sit here and listen to this scumbag's big mouth..." "Shut up, Kolfax!" "Still haven't quit, huh?" "What the hell is that?" "The combination for the safe with 30 million bucks in it." " Whoa, whoa!" "What the hell?" " You big piece of shit, so the only place it exists now is in here." "Remember that next time your trigger finger gets a little itchy." "Why would Han Jiao stash it right in the middle of Chinatown's busiest gambling den?" "Because of sleaze bucket cops like you, Benoit, who collect off of Chinatown's busiest gambling den." "Where else would you surround with a dozen armed men without a trace of his intention?" "Captain, how do we know this sonofabitch is on the level, huh?" "He's a bum?" "Where are you gettin' your information?" "There's an exchange happening tonight." "That's why half of the deal isn't safe in the casino." "Only I couldn't get to it on my own, so I called on you," "My old pals." "30 million dollars split six ways is still a lot of money." "We're risking' a lot, Captain." "You especially." "Everybody knows ya got a bright future." "Promised by who?" "His Honor?" "Take it easy, he's teasing' ya, Wolf." "He's goin' to let you on the street knowing what you know now?" "Hey!" "What's that supposed to mean?" "Meaning, his second term has now come to an end." "His hold over the city goes poof!" "Just like that, he's Joe Citizen again." "30 million would be a nice retirement package." "What's he givin' the Chinks?" "If I knew that, I wouldn't be standing here with you assholes, would I?" "Bright future, huh?" "Big headlines:" ""Hero cops take down New York City's biggest underground gambling operation."" "5 million bucks a piece." "No one will ever know about this..." "to give it that extra sweet taste." "All right, who's been in there?" " For Christ sake, who's been in there?" " I.." "Me, Cap." "You two, you're on point, place is packed with civilians. so exercise some judgment." "Remember I got the combination." "You want that money, watch my back." "Where are you going?" "Shut it down!" "Cheers!" "This way!" "Go!" "Go!" "Take him out!" "Cover me!" "Owen!" "Take it!" "Oh, God!" "I'm hit!" "Aw, shit!" "I gotta get outta here." "Ah!" "Captain!" "God, you shit!" "You shot a man in the back, you sonofabitch!" " All right, Mears, where are we going?" " This way." "Move!" "We were hit, but it wasn't the Russians." "They looked like cops but they didn't come in like regular cops, they were meaner and shooting-up the place." "Bring me those numbers as soon as possible and kill anyone who gets in the way." "We will decipher them." "Do you understand?" " It's locked and bolted to sinners like us." " Well, let's not wait for an interview." "All right, you bastard, get started." "Here's how we do this:" "You put down your guns, I open the safe." "You wanna shoot me, go ahead." "Make your minds up quick, 'cause the real cops'll be here soon." "On the floor!" "C'mon, you sonofabitch, what are you trying to pull?" "They're right-left switched!" "It's gonna open." "You'll live." "Left 26." "Captain Wolf, what the hell happened in here?" "What do you think happened, huh?" "We had a raid on the place go bad!" "We got dead cops!" "Casualties!" "Get it there, will ya!" "Captain Wolf, you need an ambulance!" "I need a fleet of ambulances, all right." "Call it in, will ya!" "I'll drive my own busted ass to the hospital." "Not bad." "If you weren't such a double-dealing asshole, I could almost like you." "Almost!" "Drive!" "It's a scratch." "I'm not gonna kill you." "But I didn't say I was putting you up at the Ritz." "Hello?" "I need money, Danny." "What?" "Thirty million!" "Five thousand in one thousand dollar bills." "I want it so.." "No!" "No!" "What you want to do is calm down so we can talk like adults." "Shut it down!" "I want to talk." "But I don't wanna talk to you, I wanna talk to your boyfriend." "This is Alex." "It's been a while, Alex." "How do you get this number?" "C'mon, Alex!" "Reach up the Mayor's ass, and there you are." "A man's gotta do what a man's gotta do, huh?" "Betty's a better catch than Annie was, anyway." "I never understood how you hooked-up with a cow like that." "It was never about her looks, it was her sense of humor." "She's not so funny now, is she?" "No, she's not, and neither am I." "I have the money, Alex." "I had to kill a lot of people to get it, so listen up." "We haven't made the combination exchange yet." "What's in the other safe?" "A disc." "Names, money trails..." "When our commanders sent the two of us to help Danny to clean up the City they attached a price." "In exchange, Danny looked the other way." "while the assets seized from every group deemed a terrorist organization were funneled into their private accounts." "It's amazing that you people let you get away when they're scared and want to feel protected, huh?" "Amazing how many scumbags go outta their way to take advantage of 'em." " Like you did?" " I quit!" "You think that helps all those souls you sent to meet their Maker without due process rest a whole lot easier?" "You thought you could atone by climbing into a cage and allowing yourself to get beaten to a pulp." "Don't fucking preach at me, Luke!" "I'm getting paid for services rendered." "You sold the disc to the Chinese so they could blackmail and rolf Han Jiao." "Take the 30 mil and waltz off with Danny to a villa in the Bahamas." "Bali, but whatever, right?" " So, now you know." "Now what?" " Now you pay." "All right, I'm turning around." "No you're not." "What are you talking about?" "You got the money, the Chinese have nothing you care about." "No, they have something I did." "Give the girl the combination to your safe and she will give you our number." "We go to your location, you go to ours, we we've gotten the disc, we will explain the code, and you get the cash." "That's the deal." " Let's hear it." " It's a very long number." "You want to write it down." "Thank goodness I brought a pen, huh?" "You might want to close your eyes." "Have it your way." "C'mon, Luke." "The old place..." "just you and me." "Are you a friend of Luke?" "Not as far as you're concerned." "Violence that has rocked the city tonight continued in a bloody gun battle in a Chinatown nightclub less than an hour ago." " This is really gettin' out of hand." " You think?" "Thanks for that insight." "Your Honor, Alex Rosen's on your private line, he says that it's urgent." "Excuse me, Your Honor..." "I'll be back in five, don't bother me now." "Why didn't he call me on my cell phone?" "I thought I told you to put all my calls through to the..." "I always told you this place had a lousy security standards." "Yeah, that's because nobody's been crazy enough come in here and pull a stunt like this." " You got some balls, Luke." " Yeah!" "Amazing that I can even walk." "The disc." "What?" "Think I'm stupid enough to let a gang of Chinese walk up the front steps and collect it from me in my living room?" " It's in a safe far away from here." " No, I don't think you're stupid." "Which is why I don't for a second believe he'd give you the only copy." "I going to meet Alex." "First you're gonna give me the disc, or I'll put the bullets in places that won't kill ya but it'll make you spend the rest of your life wishing I had." " Satisfied?" " I want to make sure it's not Elvis' Greatest Hits." "Alex will kill you, you know." "Yeah, probably." "Luke, you look like hell." "Just alcohol." "Lack of sunlight, sleep deprivation." "Other than that I feel great." "Yeah, I was thinking, how many bodies are we dumping' in this place, huh?" "You know, I didn't keep count." "They're all assholes though, right?" "Let her go, Alex." "Danny called." "Told me about your visit." "I have to admit, even I didn't see that one coming." "You have the disc and the money." "What is she to you?" "Life." "Well, enjoy it while it lasts." "'Cause she's the reason that it's gonna be a whole lot shorter." "Money, Luke." "In the car... or in a bank," "or a series of lockers at Grand Central, or maybe I donated it to charity, goodness of my heart." "Gonna find out where the money is you're gonna have to do it the hard way." "You all right, Mei?" "I saw him fight before..." "bad business for you." "Worse." "You saved me." "Again." "We saved each other." "I know how you feel." "Help me get this sack of garbage outta the car." "He gets to his daddy's things now." "50 grand." "For your trouble." "I don't see how much of it you're gonna live to enjoy it." "You wanted him safe and sound after what he did to you?" "For her sake." "We meet again, all bets are off!" "Dear Uncle, here's 29,098 dollars." "We'll get you the remaining $50,000 and add 10% interest." "If you are still angry..." "I have to tell you that I know all about your accounts in China and how you handle the transactions." "If you leave us alone, we leave you alone." "If you come after us, your world will fall apart." "I swear." "Arrange a flight for me." "I'm sick of this country." "A child's outsmarting me!" " Watch where you're fuckin' goin', Man!" " Keep walkin'!" "Excuse me?" "Pardon me?" "Anything?" "This is New York City." "Bank number five, how many more?" "That's it!" "They're copies of the disc in security boxes all over the City." "If it comes to us, a lot of important people are gonna be very sorry." "Our security, good business for us." "What now?" "Now we get outta town." "Ah, you're a kid..." "I'm not sure I could be a good father, I think that ship has sailed." "I don't want no more fathers." "Will you be my friend?" "'Til my dying day." "I got info on a school for gifted kids up in Seattle." "It's a nice drive." "If you like trees and shit." "Are we safe?" "One day at a time, Mei." "One day at a time."
