"Just a small drink." "The toilets?" "A quick drink and then I'll leave." "Why are you rushing off?" "I said, "Why are you rushing off?"" "I don't understand." "The man from Bristol called ya." " What man?" " The man in the wheelchair." "What were you doing back here?" "Lady, I never walk into a place I don't know how to walk out of." "Then why get into that van?" "You know the reason." "Make yourselves at home." "You've come a long way." " Thanks for comin'." " What's the job?" "There are some people who have something we require." " And we want you to get it from them." " Does it involve shooting?" "You must be tired." "We'll tell you more tomorrow." " Seven fat years and seven lean years." " That's what it says in the Bible." "You ever kill anybody?" "I hurt somebody's feelings once." "Don't I know you?" "I don't think so." "I'd remember." "Two hour shifts." " l'll watch the front, you the back." " For later." "Merci." "You awake then?" "How we doin'?" "You labor or management?" "If I was management, I wouldn't have given you cigarette." "I am the tour guide." "Over there is the Eiffel Tower." "Over here the Louvre." "Over there les toilettes." " What do I call you?" " My name is Vincent." "Sam." "As per the agreement, your salary will be $5,000 a week... with a minimum of four weeks' work." "On the successful completion of the mission... you will each receive a bonus of $20,000." "And by the way, my name is Dierdre." "The broad outlines of the mission are" "Who are your principals?" "For you, no one but myself." "And what can we infer from your charming Irish lilt?" "Anything you like." "Where's the equipment?" "Make a list and give it to Vincent." " The equipment is quite technical." " lf it's in Paris, I'll find it." "This is what we're after." "We need to take it intact from several men who'll be intent on preventing us." " How many men?" " You American?" "The group would be quite small." "Between five and eight." "No more than eight." "You don't know for sure?" "I don't know now, but I will before the event." "If you don't know, why do you say between five and eight?" "There's two to three cars." "The group's traveling'." " They're not in Paris?" " Where are they?" " You'll find out soon enough." " What's in the case?" "Our plan, in the broad strokes, is an ambush." "It's to hit the car, to take them in transit." "Transit?" "City, country?" "Right now I don't know." "But we've to move very quickly." "We've to improvise." "We'll start with this: ambush and assault on two to three vehicles... five to eight men, and our objective is the safe retrieval of this case." "Tell Vincent what it is you'll need." "What do we know about them?" "Are they French?" "Where are they from?" "Who are they?" "All you need to know right now is that they're very unpleasant." "You've done this kind of thing before?" " How difficult can it be?" " No idea how these men will be armed?" "They'll be very well armed, indeed." "Where are we going and how do we get back?" "It'll be in France, and the group will disband at the RV point." " What does she mean?" " After that, we're on our own." " lt's a military term." " That's right." "Larry, tell Vincent what you'll need." "Something very fast." "Audi S-8." "Something that can shove a little bit." "I'm going to have it for you by afternoon." "I'm also gonna need a nitrous system." "I've got the specs." "What do you use, weapons-wise?" "Weapons. I'm a-- l'm a weapons man." "Weapons man?" " Yeah." " Great." "They tend to settle the argument." "So what do you favor?" "It's a toolbox. I don't care." " You put the tools in for the job." " What?" "You know, I actually favor the old 1911." "Forty-five?" "Old gun." "It served my country well." "A long time." "Your country." "Not done too well, though, last few wars?" "Perhaps not, but at least we don't go around whining about it." " You ex military?" " l got my job through the "Times."" "Don't let him get you down." "It don't mean nothin'." "I say what I think." "You ex military?" "Hereford?" "I'd like to do it backwards." "The line of retreat is?" "She just told you." "We meet back at the RV, disband." "I understand. I'm just trying to get a vague notion of the opposition." "I mean, we're setting out to cause some animosity over here, and l" " How many are coming after us?" " You worried about your own skin?" "Yeah, I am." "It covers my body." "All your concerns will be addressed before we leave." " Electronics and commo." " Not more than three cars?" "That is our information." " Can you get me a simulator?" " What's a simulator?" "Gunpowder." "Sound only, no lead." "Sounds like a pistol, an assault rifle." "Quite diverting." "I'll need bigger injection jets." "The Bosch won't do it." "Must be custom made." "We going north or south?" "I'd like some new clothes." " Vincent will sort you out." " l'll take care of it." " What brought you here?" " A fellow that doesn't work so well." "The man in the wheelchair?" " How did he get there?" " That was in your neck of the woods... back in the late unpleasantness." "Good reflexes." "Yeah." "They die hard." " lnterrogation." " What?" "Methods to withstand interrogation." "You've done that?" "We were taught to hold out indefinitely." "Nobody can." " ls that so?" " Yeah." "Everybody has a limit." "I spent some time in interrogation once." " They make it hard?" " They don't make it easy." "Yeah, it was unpleasant." "I held out as long as I could." "All the stuff they tried." "You just can't hold out forever." " lmpossible." " How'd they finally get to you?" " They gave me a grasshopper." " What's a grasshopper?" "Let's see." "That's two part gin, two part brandy, one part creme de menthe and" "Fuckin' smart-ass." " Can you find this place?" " Of course." "I know it." "That's where they wanna do the exchange." "You're gonna exchange for cash?" " Aye." " You know these people?" "My people know them." "Your people have done business with them before... or they just gave your people a number?" "If we're gonna do it, let's do the goddamn thing right." "I'm busy." "Come on." "Let's go." "The answers to your questions I'll know when I get back." " l'll go with you." " Go with them." "Who's this girl work for?" "She works for our "betters." Seems that's what we're meant to know." "Always a waiting game." " What?" " lt's a waiting game." "Would you not do that, please?" "Bad for the night vision, yeah?" "There they are." " You have the list?" " Yes, I have it." "Give it to me." "Money?" "You follow my lead." "Just make sure you watch my back." "Don't make any sudden moves." "Just because we're buying guns doesn't mean we didn't bring any." "Don't worry." "Everything's fine." "Want to back him up?" "What would I profit from your death?" " You'd have the money." " l have the money already." "I'll watch the back." "Have you got it all?" " You're sure?" " Of course." "Come and see." "There it is." "It's not all here." "What?" "It's not all here." "He said the rest is in the other car." "The boss wants to check the money." "If he agrees, we have no problem." "Here, take the car keys." "Go on." "Take them." "There you are." "No problem." "Come along." "Come on." "Give me some money." " You aren't going in there?" " Yeah, I'm going in there." "So are you." " Why am I going in there?" " To protect me." "There is no protection there." "If it's a come-on, we're fish in a barrel." "Why do they want you in there?" " What are you, crazy?" " You think too hard." "Nobody ever told me that before, but I wouldn't go in there." " What is it?" " l don't like it." "Look at it." "Let's just do it." "Let's just do it and be done, yeah?" "Don't go in." "I'm getting paid to go." "It's that simple." "Let's go." "If anything goes down, get next to one of those guys." "If there's a sniper, he'll be afraid to shoot his own guy." " Let's go." " All right." "Stop!" "Stay where you are." "So, everything's fine." "I can't see!" "Have some of this!" "Fuckin' arsehole!" "Fuckin' have some more, bastards!" "Come on!" " Let's go!" " You goddamn" "Come on!" "Let's go!" " Anybody hurt?" " We're fine." "Wow." "Almost a bit of raspberry jam back there, yeah?" "A bit of raspberry jam back there." "Got the swag, kept the money." "Job well done." "That's a fact." "That is a fact." "Slow down." "Slow down." "I think I have to stop." "Thank you." "Why did you take this job?" "My friend, I need the money." "The money is here." "That's what this is, money." "But who are our employers?" "You're right." "Excuse me." "Excuse me, monsieur." "The Russians are trying to bid for the case." "The case is in Nice." "They're trying to sell it to the Russians." "They're staying at the Villa Belle Mer in Nice." " The team isn't ready." " Whatever the team is, you do it now." "The Russians have decided to bid." "We need to move now." "Excuse me." "I have the information." "We'll be moving very soon." "It'll definitely be in the nature of an ambush... somewhere between here and here." "We'll anticipate a three-car convoy with backup team." "Obviously we will try and stop the target before they can get away." " What's in the case?" " That isn't necessary." "is it heavy, is it explosive, is it chained to some unlucky bloke's wrist?" " Are we gonna have to chop it off?" " All right." "But I am not under any obligation to let you know-- lf not, the price has gotta go up." "I'll get you the case, but the price has gotta go up." "If it's gonna be amateur night, I want $100,000. I want it up front." "I want it in a bank account. I want another $100,000 when you get the case." "We've got shooters here, shooters here." "I'll tell you an old trick." " What's your problem?" " Draw it again." "Draw it again." "You're the ace field man." "Draw it again." "It's a simple diagram." "Just draw it again." "Draw what you saw." "Draw it again!" "Two shooters." "Car comes through here." "Shooters across from each other, kill each other dead." "Oh, my." "Where'd you learn that?" " ln the regiment." " What regiment was that?" "The 22nd Special Air Service." "What's the color of the boathouse at Hereford?" " l don't like your attitude." " What's the color of the boathouse" " Fuck off!" " What's" " You got the gun." "I'm unarmed." "Do something." "Go ahead." "Do something." "Tell me about an ambush." "I ambushed you with a cup of coffee." "You'll get your money when we get the case." "The others too." "That is what I understood." "We've gotten the word." "We're movin'." "Put this near the front." "Careful." "Careful with that." "So what color is the boathouse at Hereford?" "How should I know?" "This'll complete your compensation." "Thanks for your time." "Feel free to leave when we're gone." "Do I need to suggest you forget us?" "Because we will not." "Morning." "I see you're reviewing' our problem." "You're part of the problem, part of the solution or part of the landscape." " indeed." " What's in the case?" "Something we're payin' ya for." " You and the girl are in front." " The name's Dierdre." "Wait outside the hotel for the target." "He leaves the hotel for the villa, the villa for the hotel." "He activates his cell phone." "How do you know he's gonna use his cell phone?" " He'll use a phone." " How do you know?" "I'm gonna call him on it." " How do you know he'll have it?" " He's waitin' for a call?" "The people he's doin' business with will call him to arrange a meeting." "The villa." "The hotel." "The car." "The stoplight." "Eight to ten guys." "How good is security?" " l can't tell you." " Let's find out." "Where are they?" "The last report, they were at the hotel." " The case is at the hotel?" " We presume that it is." " That's interesting." " Why don't we do it now?" " lt's tempting." " lt's a good plan." "Let's stick to the plan." "Everybody wants to go to the party." " Nobody wants to stay and clean up." " Please." "The only thing is that the map-- the map is not the territory." "Let's look at the ground." "Bring some money." "We're gonna do a little shopping." "Loosen up." "You're my wife." "Be who you want to look like." "It's just a game." "Just a game." "Man and a woman goin' for a walk and all that entails." "Piece of cake." "Relax." "Relax, darling." "You look good cleaned up." "That the hotel?" "Put your arm under mine." "Put your arm under mine." "So why aren't they at the villa?" "Why are they down here?" "Fun and games, pretty girls and beer?" "Can I help you, sir?" "We're just looking at the menu." "Excuse me." "Do you speak English?" "A little." "Could you take a picture of me and my wife?" "It's very easy." " You press like that." "Very easy." " Sure." "Like that." "That's it." "Focus like that." "We're gonna do it over here." "See." " Could you get that palm tree in?" " Yeah." "We wanna show we're on the Riviera." "Bye now." " How many do you want?" " Just snap away." "Very" "Again." "Get the background." "Take a couple of my wife." "Just take a couple of my wife alone." "Take my luggage up right away." "Thank you." "Can we take one picture of you with my wife?" "One picture with you?" "That's it." "So?" "They're good." "A guy goes for the case, the other guy's protecting' the principal." "Nobody panics." "They're good." "So what have we learned?" " Can it be done?" " lt can be done." "We should have two more men." " We don't have two more men." " Go to your handler." " There is no handler." " Let me go." "There's no handler." "There's only me." "You want this thing, you want the case, we're gonna need some more men." "There's no more help." "There's no more men." "Are you afraid?" "'Course I'm afraid." "You think I'm reluctant because I'm happy?" "We've made a good plan, and we're gonna stick with it." "What do we do?" "We wait." "So who are they?" "Our employers." "It's me." "They've gone back to the villa." " Did they have the case with them?" " They did." " Did you get the other cars?" " Got 'em." " And how do they run?" " They'll do fine." "What does that mean?" "It would be nice to do something." "We are doing something." "We're sitting here waiting." "It's not gonna happen today." "The buyers are out of town." "Tomorrow at the earliest." "The hell with it." "Let's go put 'em to bed." " We've got the report." " l take the report if that's all." "I can go and see for myself." "They at the villa?" "I'm gonna take one last run over the route and tuck 'em in." "I'll come with ya." "So how'd you get started in this business?" "A wealthy scoundrel seduced and betrayed me." "Same with me." "How 'bout that?" "Take out the map." "If anybody looks, we're" "So who are those guys inside?" "You tell me." "Ex military, Northern, Sov Block, somebody or other." "They need a job." "That's my excuse." "is it?" "Cops." "System activated." "System check." "Repeat system check." "There he is." "He's being good." "He's activated his phone." "I'm in position." "They're passin' me now." "Target is on the way." "Hell of a time to be workin'." "What do you want for Christmas?" "My two front teeth." "May your wish be granted." "Target is 400 meters from the traffic light." "Come on!" "Come on!" "So far, so good." "Target on the right road." "Escort car... four tenths of a click in front of you." "Got it." "You should see them in four seconds." "Two cars." "I got 'em." "Target has escaped." "I repeat:" "Target has gotten away." "Target heading for Vieux Nice." "Through the market, then straight." "Right at the fork, Marechal fork." "Okay, you're in front of him." "You can cut him off at the end of the port." "Roger that. I got it." "He's coming from the right." "He's yours." " l'm hit!" "Take the case!" " Up the other way!" "Get the fuckin' case!" " Get the car." "We'll meet you up there." " Take it." "All right." "Get out of here!" "We'll see you at the safe house!" "Give me the case!" "Where's Gregor?" "Gregor fucked us." " How is it down there?" " A lot of heat." "How you feeling?" "Okay." "Thanks for before." "Don't mention it." "Could you clean the paint off this?" "Got a pack of Camels?" "No, you smoke too much." "We must get out of here." "I'm gonna need your people to help us." " And I need you to find the case." " All right, call your guy." "When we bring in the case, he'll help you." " How can I bring in the case?" " Gregor has it." " Why?" " l presume to sell it to the Russians." "Why the Russians?" "Why not you?" "If we had money to buy it, we wouldn't have hired you to steal it, would we?" "Go to your people." "Talk to them." "You want the case?" "We find Gregor, we find the case." "How do we find Gregor?" "How did you find him to hire him?" "Through your friend the cripple who gave me nothing but a bunch of lames!" " You, Spence and the sorry lot of you!" " Hey, hey." "We can find him through his cell phone." "Can we trace his cell phone?" "They can triangulate it, if we had that equipment." "Who has that equipment?" "Who has that equipment?" "Tell me." "Who has it?" "All right." "Give me the number to his phone." "How does the day find you?" "How do they say in French-- en plein forme?" "This was supposed to be a social occasion?" " Life is uncertain." " lt is indeed." "But, Gregor, we have so much history together... I was sure you wouldn't mind." " Besides, the world these days is so" " Unsafe?" "Exactly." "I'll show you how unsafe it is." "See that little girl down there?" "Have you lost your mind?" "Why did you do that?" "To make a point." "I don't know her, but I was ready to splatter her brains all over." "But you, I don't particularly like you." "Just imagine what I'll do to you if you try anything." "Now give me my money." "Put down the gun." " l never liked you either, Gregor." " Where did that come from?" "I should have made you strip." " Now where's my package?" " Right behind you." "Clever girl." " You liked it?" " My little sun." "You make me so happy." "My sweet love." "Excuse me." "is it done?" "It's done, Mikhi." "Gregor?" "is that you, Gregor?" "Much to your disappointment." "It was a mistake." "It should not have happened." "If it happens again, I'll sell it to the Irish." " Don't do that." " Then don't make me." "My price just went up 300%%%." "I want the package." "What do I have to do to get it?" "Just wait for my next phone call. I'll find a place where l have the advantage." "Excuse me." "Excuse me." "Could you tell me how to find a post office?" "Do I know you?" "I'm sorry." "Do I know you, 'cause how did you know I speak English?" "You got an English newspaper." "Sorry. I'm sorry." "I beg your pardon." "It's all right." "What do you need a post office for?" " Over here, they use them differently." " l need your help." " Over here, they use them differently." " l need your help." " l thought you left." " l did leave." " You did leave?" "You're out?" " That's right." "Can you help me?" "I need your help." "What's the number?" "The post office is down to your left." "Up on the left?" "Thanks." " A friend of yours?" " We went to high school together." "Everyone's your brother until the rent's due." "Ain't that the truth?" "On the terrace?" "Facing me?" "I see him." "Yes, I'll get him." "Hang on, please." "Excuse me, sir." "Are you Sam?" "A phone call for you." "Good to see you too." "If his position changes, I'll let you know." "Gregor's in a town called Arles." "He's at the Arena." "This is the amphithe'atre of Arles... which was built at the end of the first century A.D." "It was built with limestone." "I know those men." "You can see the dominant yellow color which is caused by a lantern." "We're not sure the walls were actually yellow." "So now, we will continue and visit the Roman baths down this way." "Thank you, gentlemen." "That'll do nicely." "It's Sergei. I remember you." "Yes, Gregor, it's me." " How have you been?" " Well." "These are trying times. I'm sorry about the unfortunate incident." "It was excessive." "And more to the point, it was foolish." "I couldn't agree with you more." "Mikhi did it without consulting me." "He's turned rogue and can't be controlled?" "I don't" "Oh, English." "Sorry." "Such a fool." "I was looking for van Gogh's old house." "What could have been conducted in a collegial atmosphere... is now fucked into a cocked hat." "What do you think?" "I'll think we'll meet your price." "So let's see it now." "Where do you have it, in your belt?" " Let's see it." " Show me the case first." "You're great in the locker room, but you're weak when you put your spikes on." " Are you all right?" " Gregor's fine." "But I think you're in a wee spot of trouble." "Where is it?" "Where is it?" " l don't have it with me." " Where?" "I mailed it to myself." "Post office box in Paris." "Help!" "He's robbing me!" "Stop." " Where do I know you from?" " Vienna." "Of course." " Sorry to have to do this." " Hey!" " Christ." " Drive." "Stop!" "Piss off." "I'm gonna have to take care of this." "What do you want to do?" "Get to a doctor or a veterinarian's office." "I'll just boost what I need." " Could you do that?" " Of course. I can do better." " How is it?" " l'm leaking." "I'm sorry." "That girl sold us out." "She sold us out." " ls everything ready, Jean-Pierre?" " Yes, everything." "Get my legs." "Careful." "Sure you can do this?" "Yeah. I once removed a guy's appendix with a grapefruit spoon." " Have a drink." " No booze." "Easy, easy, easy." "Yeah. lt's just below the surface." "All right, let's do it." "Just douse it with alcohol." "Take the gauze and wipe away the blood." "Keep it clean so I can see it." "What we're gonna do is routine." "I've done this many times before." "There are no vital organs or arteries." "It's okay." "You won't kill me." "Just make sure you get the bullet before you pry it out." "Take that scalpel." "The upper part." "Over here." "Just cut up there." "Just a little cut." "Got it." "Now take the clamp." "Take the clamp and open up the hole." "Just put it in there." "Put it in there." "That's it." "Put it in." "Now open it up." "Spread it." "Now get the other clamps and get the bullet." "Don't take it out unless you really got it." "Do it again." "Do it again." "Just try with" "When he pulls it out, put the gauze in." "There's gonna be a lot of blood." "Put the gauze there." "Fucker sprayed his bullet with Teflon." "He was trying to stamp me." "Paid in full." "is that why it went through the vest?" "Can you stitch me up on your own?" "If you don't mind, I'm gonna pass out." "You gonna kill me?" "No." "I'm not gonna kill you." "Why would I want to kill you?" " l gave you a job." " l did my job." " So how'd it go wrong?" " l thought you wanted the case." "Oh, we'll get the case." "Huh?" "We'll get the case, eh, Gregor?" "Don't you worry about the case." "I want an explanation." "An explanation?" "For what?" " You bollixed it up." " l did?" " You hired him." " Through your fucking contact!" " You didn't do your homework." " Why did you have to kill Larry?" "Larry, is it?" "I was clearing up your mess." "My mess?" "Well, you take over then." " Huh?" " But you can't, can you?" "It's you that's hiding, isn't it, Seamus?" "You can't show your face." "Who else thinks that?" "Who you been talking to?" "That's why I'm doing this job." "You're a good girl, Deirdre." "Do your job." "He's tough, your Yank." "You're right about that." "But who is he?" "That's not important." "Didn't he work for the ClA?" "He used to." "Not anymore?" "He's on the run." "You're sure?" "I know what he can do." "I've seen him." "Why would he carve himself up if he were still cia?" "He makes a phone call, and it's taken care of." "And you?" "How have you been?" "We need some information." "We need to find some people in Paris." "Who?" "An Irish man and woman... and a German, ex-KGB." "They're professionals." "And they're in hiding." "This is really important to you?" "He saved my life." "I'll find them for you." "Where's the case?" "It'll come tomorrow, I'm sure." "I'm sure it will too." "Let's go." "Let's hope so, for your sake anyway." "Are you feeling better?" "Yeah, enough to move around." "Thanks." "My hobby." "One grows old." "A lot of friends of mine just wanted to live to open a bar." "Had they lived, would they have done it?" "Then they were spared their disillusion." "That's right." "Who were they, friends of yours?" " l wouldn't hurt a friend." " Was that my question?" "That's right." "Well, who are you?" "A fella like you, trying to make it to retirement." "At the end of the day, we're likely to be punished for our kindnesses." "Don't worry about me." "I won't hurt you." "The 47 ronin, do you know it?" "Forty-seven samurai whose master was betrayed and killed by another lord." "They became ronin, masterless samurai... disgraced by another man's treachery." "For three years they plotted, pretending to be thieves... mercenaries, even madmen." "That I didn't have time to do." "Then they snuck into the castle of their lord's betrayer and killed him." "Nice. I like that." "My kind of job." "There's something more." "All 47 of them committed seppuku... ritual suicide in the courtyard of the castle." "Well, that I don't like so much." "But you understand it?" "What do you mean?" "The warrior code" "The delight in the battle." "You understand that, yes?" "But also something more." "You understand there is something outside yourself that has to be served." "And when that need is gone... when belief has died, what are you?" "A man without a master." "Right now I'm a man without a paycheck." "The ronin could have hired themselves to new masters." "They could have fought for themselves." "But they chose honor." "They chose myth." "They chose wrong." "Seppu-- what?" "Seppuku." "Disembowelment." "The sword goes in here." " You sure this address is good?" " Jean-Pierre gave it to me." "Under the bridge by the river... how did you know it was an ambush?" "When there is any doubt, there is no doubt." "First thing they teach you." "Who taught you?" "I don't remember." "That's the second thing they teach you." "All good things come to those who wait." " Why is Gregor still alive?" " He's taking them to the package." "How you doing?" "What are you?" "What are you gonna do to me?" "Let's just be calm for one more moment." "One more moment." "Why?" "Why?" "Oh, you know why." "No." "You don't want to do that." "You can't." "Get back!" "Get in the fucking car!" "Why didn't you shoot her?" " Take the tunnel now!" " Oh, Christ!" "Come on!" "That fuck." "Where could he be?" "The Irish and the Russians are looking for him." "So where does he go?" "He goes to the Russians to make the deal for the case." "Gregor ain't coming in unless he can figure out a safe exchange." "He knows they'll kill him for the case rather than pay him." "He's got to work it out soon before the Irish find him." "Where does he go?" "You go to what you know." "He's KGB." "He goes to one of his old safe houses." "No, they're all blown." "Where does he go?" "You're on the run." "Where do you go?" "Where has he been?" "He made the fake case." "He had the fake case made." "Gregor." "He had it made." "He had to have had it made." "In Paris, before we went to Nice." "He didn't have time to have it made."
