"Take a seat" "Anastasia ZAVOROTNYUK" "Information that Jaffad has nuclear weapons was confirmed, both by our agents and our foreign colleagues." "And even more than that..." "One of these explosives is somewhere in Russia," "we don't know the exact location yet" "Vincent PEREZ" "Your task is to infiltrate yourself, through our channels, into Jaffad's closest circle." "We've worked a legend for you, you fit in absolutely." "Of course, we'll be covering you up." "You know this person, don't you." "Dasha, a great deal is in your hands now, a great deal is to say nothing..." "The repercussions of these possible four explosions would be disastrous."

"OUR DAYS" "Hi, Jaffad." "Let him through." "Are you happy now?" "It depends, you know." "I would prefer cash." "These bonds are receivable at any bank." "Oh yes, America and its guarantees." "But what about this?" "You've turned me into a monster." "They're selling this crap at every corner, for 6 dollars." "Why such attitude?" "People hate terrorists" "They also hate your submarines sinking, together with nuclear charges." "But you play mute about this." "Tell your citizens that your rescuers arrived to the site of accident later than my people." "That was how I came to own four nuclear warheads, and I spent two odd years planting them in four different countries." "Four bombs in four megapolises, in different parts of the world." "This is a burden hard to bear, Riley." "I'm here to relieve you from this burden." "I have five children and eleven grandchildren." "Half of them are receiving education, in Europe and in your country..." "They all are building plans for the future." "And I can't disappoint them." "But I'm surrounded by a crowd of fanatics:" "In their mind, all problems can be solved at one stroke, and they won't stop at anything." "So, the warheads can be activated by a telephone signal, from a certain device, by entering a certain combination..." "Knowing the code, you can blow up the bombs, you can find them..." "I am ready to tell you the code and whereabouts of the transmitter." "You, dirty dog!" "No, Jaffad, it's not my people!" "Take her away!" "Butcher passes his regards" "I've got the key..." "Kill them..." "It was him..." "Butcher..." "Swear to me..." "... that you will kill him..." "Let him die like a dog..." "Remember..." "Louis Devier." "He is a banker, lives in Paris." "He is doing some business with Butcher." "They took the key..." "You should kill Butcher" "If he learns the code, he'll blow up the bombs." " The code?" " Yes." "Eleven numerals I've divided the code between my two friends, each knows only one part, and the place from where the signal should be sent." "I'm sure Butcher will find them now..." "But there is also the third part of the code..." "Who knows the third part?" "paris." "FRANCE" "Okay, don't say a word!" "Better don't say a word" "I was driving slowly, I was in no hurry." "Why the hell did you stop?" "Monsieur, that lady is crazy!" "Let's call the police." "Wait in the car, Francois" " Excuse me..." " Don't even tell me I was looking with my ass!" "God forbid." "I never thought so." "Stop hooting, okay?" "I can't drive in such a state." "Unlike others, I'm not being chauffeured." "I'm sorry." "Please take this." "I would like to amend my guilt." "Very well..." "Monsieur..." "Devier..." "Good afternoon, how can I help you?" "Paris on the line." "MOSCOW." "LUBYANKA" "Hi." "Did you have a nice trip?" "Yes." "I slept in the plane like dead." "How is your job?" "I had an audition this morning." "Everything was just fine." "Listen, My friend's son is going to pay you a visit today" "He's a computer genius, otherwise a greenhorn." "Do not be surprised." "Tell him what's wrong with your software." " Didn't I ask you..." " He's in Paris already." "So, by the legend, we should become a married couple." "Yes." "So..." "What?" "Do you have any experience in this?" "Nope." "Same with me." "That's a problem." " Hello?" " Marie Clabair?" "Yes." "What do you want?" "It's about your software." "I'm leaving on a date tonight." "But I'm on your doorstep..." " Oops," " What?" "Hi, I'm Mouse..." "Computer mouse..." "In fact, I'm Anton." "I think I'd better wait out there..." "It would be better like this." "No way." "You came to be of help - so go ahead." "Show me your won't." "Is this from a bullet?" "That's all as yet." "Jaffad is very circumspective." "I think he's going to meet with Americans." "I must go now." "Jesus, you're so beautiful..." "Tomorrow you'll go back home." "Or maybe today, if you say just a word." "Oops!" "Look at this." "Holy cow!" "ClA's SECRET ADDRESS It's our day today!" "We have hit something real important!" "She's that very woman!" "There were 48 people on that day in the fortress," "All dead including Riley and Jaffad." "She is the only survivor." "Our guys found her fingerprints there." "But she's a European." "Only we don't know where from exactly." "She appeared near Jaffad three years ago," "like his maid and all, but in fact she was his watchdog." "Jaffad trusted her entirely." "And now what is she doing in Paris?" "In the company of Butcher's man?" "When you snarled at Francois, I felt that..." "I can't talk like this..." " You felt what?" " That I must..." "That I want to know you closer." "Is it possible?" "Oh, come on, it's just that every week you're dating some lucid-eyed trusty girl." "You think I'm such a lady-killer?" "I think you're a person following your every whim." "Stop trying to impress me." "I am impressed already." "I don't care what kind of a man you are." "Instead of dining out with some girlfriend of mine," "I prefer your company." "I think it's more interesting." "Monsieur Devier, there's a telephone call for you." "Thank you." "My poor would-be Madame Devier:" "What a trial to have someone like me for a husband." "I'll be back in a minute." "Please." "Hello?" " Hello?" " Listen to me..." " What?" " Just listen," "One of them must be in Norway now." "We're looking for him." "Another one has been moving from one country to another and has settled down in Malaysia." "The Italian lawyer will be no problem, he lives in Florence and we'll be there in an hour." "Reserve a suite for me." "I'm leaving." "Monsieur Devier says he is sorry, some urgent business in Florence." "He'll call you when he's back." "The bill is already paid." "Where are we going?" "Something is wrong?" "Don't stop the engine." "Don't move!" "The doors!" "She's ll try to get away!" "Move aside!" " The police!" " I see" "We're stuck." "You mean, the house staked out, the cars battered, all this for the sake of some stupid postcard?" "It's not a postcard, it's a photo..." "So what?" " It's my favorite city." " Paris, yes." "And that's all?" "Yes." "Tell me what I still don't know about him." "Well," "FLORENCE." "ITALY" "His father, Phillip Devier, died eleven years ago." "His son took over his business." " I know this." " This is what everyone knows." "Except that Louis's father was someone else than Phillip." "ALBERTO SOLDl'S APARTMENT" "His real father was Algerian, blew himself up in a car, near the French Embassy in Cairo." "Louis was five years old then." "Please, I don't know anything!" "Trust me..." "I'm just a lawyer!" "Please, don't kill us!" "Also You know that Louis studied in Sorbonne." " Graduated with honors." " Right." "But You have no idea that in 1982 he nearly ended in prison." "For what?" "For killing his fellow-student." "All this..." "It's in the safe..." "What's on this photo?" "Inform me if you find her." "But don't do anything." "Because, you know..." "You got me, Ronnie?" "Let me know immediately." "Though, I'm not sure she's still in France." "Jesus, and this is the glorious Florence." "Couldn't they choose a more decent street?" "I think it's this way." "Object 19-51 on the line." "Secret channel." "He stopped at Westin Excelsior, room 537." "Arrived today morning, by his personal plane." "It was sleepless night again?" "It's sleepless life, honey." "What have you got?" "We don't have enough info." "No names, not even a foothold." "We only know these people were connected with Jaffad." "And it will take weeks to find them." "We don't have this time!" "Get in touch with our Italian colleagues, with Norwegians, let them step in, too" "He's in the restaurant." "Soldi was the first one in his list, means, we're dealing with the first portion of the code." "For the second portion we should go to Norway, which goes in for no end of Bjornes and Petersens..." "One of them, a physician, was a captive in Afghanistan, and Jaffad redeemed him in 1998." "Well, then..." "Peterson and Kirami will be someone else's job." " Butcher doesn't trust me?" " Butcher doesn't trust anyone." "Someone has entered my room." "The banker's coming upstairs." "Leave at once!" "Do you hear me?" "He's in the elevator!" " I haven't finished yet." " Are you crazy?" "There're four of them!" "Just leave!" "What's going on here?" "Surprise!" "I don't think it was a good idea." "To leave me alone in Paris wasn't a good idea either." "I expected a warmer welcome." "Who told you I'm here?" "I called every hotel here." " The door was locked." " For 100 Euros they will open any door for you here." "Will they ever stop goggling at me?" "You may go." "Hi..." "I need Butcher." "It's a bad joke, Marie." "It's not a joke." "I need Butcher." "You were looking for me?" "Congratulations -you did find me." "Where is his phone?" "Call that someone you usually call." "Okay, I'll call them myself." " Hello?" " Hunter is on the line." "Hold on for me." "I'm coming." "It's the channel without password." "Now tell them that you found me." "Tell them." "You don't want to?" "Okay, I'll tell them myself." "He found Butcher." "In Norway?" "What is Butcher doing there?" "Did you hear about Norwegian terrorists?" "No." "So, no will be looking for him there." "Get ready, we're leaving to Norway." "Will you please lower the gun?" "I don't quite feel comfortable being..." "Room service." "Send her away." "Room service." "Anton!" "He ran away!" "Can you find him?" "He's wearing a bug!" "I must get to the computer!" " Where is he?" " Wait, I can't think quicker than my PC!" " He's inside the hotel." " Where exactly?" "One mo..." " Marie, he's here" " Where?" "At the parking lot!" "Come on!" "We're flying to Norway..." "We'll need reinforcement group for agent 28." "We're leaving to Oslo in 70 minutes." "Please warn our Norwegian colleagues." "BERGEN." "NORWAY" "BJORNE PETERSEN'S APARTMENT" "Can you trace the Norwegian guys?" " They turned that way." " Be quick." " How far away are they?" " About 300 m ahead of us." "Okay, that smart Alec got rid of the jacket with the bug!" "Why isn't she wearing the bug?" "Because she said that in that case she..." " She what?" " Well, you know..." "Can't you see what a monster he is!" "He will kill both of us!" "Cool down!" "Too late to back off!" " Just take me to where he is." " What can you do?" " You've no gun." " I don't need no gun." "I just need to be within one meter's distance." "O Lord, I'm so tired." "Please, kill that monster!" "We'll need clean clothes now." "They couldn't go far away." "I'll try to trace her cell phone, maybe it's on." "Bingo!" "I found her!" "He's expecting you." " Omar, bring her here." " Let's go." "You wanted to see me." "Why?" "I'm Leblain, and I'm work for "Paris Match"" "I'm in exclusive materials, you know." "We were planning a sensational interview, we were just a week away from seeing Jaffad Ben Zaidi himself." "Poor luck - my people dealt him earlier than that." "You want to know why I killed Jaffad?" "He betrayed our great idea, by turning sacred war into business." "What would you have done in my place, eh?" "I only need to raise my hand, and your head will go to pieces like a melon." "I understand." "Aren't you afraid to talk with me?" "Yes, I am." "You're lying" " I can't feel your fear." "She is not a reporter!" " She is..." " I know." " Omar, he lied to us!" " No!" "So, who are you?" "Who sent you?" "Speak up." "Jaffad..." "Kill her!" "What do I do now?" "Nothing." "You're going back to Moscow." "He was within my reach." "I looked him in the face..." "So why the hell he is dead then?" "You only needed to wait for us!" "You looked at him as wolf looks at sheep!" "But you should've been like sheep yourself!" "And what now?" "Butcher is dead!" "The bombs still somewhere out there, and they know two parts of the code!" "And we only have this card with three numerals." "Maybe it's not the code at all!" "Maybe you think there will be no one to blow up the bombs?" "Okay, calm down." "I'm sorry." "You need to have some sleep." "The plane's leaving in nine hours." "Show some care, you know, calm her down." " But how?" " I don't know." " Look, I..." " Get out." "Anton!" "Anton!" "Your mobile's buzzing like crazy!" "It's your mobile." "Mine is snoozing under my ass." " Who are you?" " Someone you've been looking for." " Louis?" " You looked for Butcher, right?" " Butcher is dead." " No, he isn't." "To be in the shadow is very safe, you know." "You're the boss, but pretend you are an errand boy." "I don't care who you work for." "You guys obviously want to neutralize the bombs." "For this you'll need to collect the code - some task, eh." " What do you want?" " You." "I need you." "And you need me." "You can't find the bombs without me." "And I can't blow them up without you." " And you know why?" " Why?" "Because 30 days ago you've killed Sakhik Kirami, the third bearer of the code's portion." "I don't know no Kirami." "He was a famous figure in Malaysia, and his death was in all newspapers." "His seven bodyguards were all killed - except one, who survived -full tank, please - and gave description of the murderer to the police" "and they made the identikit." "You outstripped me." "In Norway I saw that I was being stalked." "So, I had a brilliant idea." "Had to be dead for everyone hunting for me." "You were sure they killed me on the boat, right?" "Okay, beauty, let us strike a deal..." " About what?" " Both you and I need the full code." "You need to know the place where the transmitter is." "Jaffad's lawyer was a cooperative dude." " He had a brand scorched on his hand..." "He told my people where the transmitter is, and he gave the card with the 1st part of the code." "The Norwegian guy wasn't so compliant," " but we only needed his portion of the code." " The brand!" "Now only a trifle is left - the 3rd portion of the code." "I've no idea where to look for it." " Me either." " You're wrong." "I'll prove you you're wrong." "Just come here." "Alone." "Think about it." "You guys don't know the transmitter's location" " and the code's two parts." " We know them." " You're bluffing." " No." "Tell me, then." "Eight-six-six." "Now you." "Seven-eight-four-three." "Great, what now?" "We should become partners, for some time, to find the missing part of the code together." " And what then?" " Then I'll kill you, or you will kill me, time will show." "Of course, you may turn down my proposal." "But I'll make my people scan all combinations, until they find the missing numerals." "And then..." " Where can I find you?" " Leave your mobile where you are now." "In 10 minutes - on the road near the embankment." "Don't stretch your time." " Igor, she disappeared!" " What do you mean?" "Don't know." "I was asleep." "She left her mobile." "She had a call from Butcher." " From Butcher?" " Yes." "She recorded the conversation, for us to know what's going on." "Of course, you may turn down my proposal." "But I'll make my people scan all combinations, until they find the missing numerals." "And than..." "Where can I find you?" " 8-6-6." "Now you." " 7-8-4-3." "Great." "What now?" "Did you show it to phonetic experts?" "This phrase has new modulations, some vowels have a longer mode." "Which means big stress or a lie being told." "Of course he told a lie." "But she did a nice job of it, good for her." " Wherefrom did he call?" " We're tracing that." "Be quick." "She left with no phone or anything." "She didn't even take that photo." "What photo?" "What does it mean?" "It's no games:" "They're stalking you, taking your photos, maybe even they're doing this right now It's a continuous risk!" "A paramount risk!" "Sentiments in your case is unforgivable luxury." "And he's flying away tomorrow." "What?" "But..." "Where to?" "It's none of your business!" "Oh, come on!" "It's no childish games, okay?" "We're doing our work!" "I've no time for this baby stuff." "A remembrance card." "Listening." "Butcher called from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia." "Send reinforcement group there urgently!" "Don't engage -just stand by!" "Tell Kharitonov to send that guy for contact in Kuala Lumpur." "Let him show himself," " for her to be more at peace." " He's not from our department." "Great, hi is not in database." "Means the object can't run him through our files." "KUALA-LUMPUR." "malaysia" "Jaffad's clan owns two mobile phone operators in Middle East and South-Eastern Asia." "They've their own satellite, so Jaffad maybe has this opportunity in mind, for encoding and activation of nuclear charges." " Run a check-up on the companies." " Yes, sir." "Your people shouldn't be around, wherever we are." "As you see, there is none." "No guns, no phone calls." "We should be in full view at each other all the time." "All the time?" "There is one problem." "What kind of problem?" " I'm a man, you're a woman." " We'll think up something." "How could ever Jaffad trust this kind of woman?" "How could a French banker adopt a terrorist's son?" "I was provided with a clean legend." "An orphan, a war victim..." "Also, I was such a darling child, my new mom adored me." "Because she didn't know what you will become." "Oh yes." "I was growing, and I was like a time bomb." "Then I got orphaned once more, and my Arab friends found me." "I was just the person they needed - someone rich and strong, and dedicated to the idea." "People like me work revolutions!" "We're scanning the Middle East and South-Eastern Asia through our satellites." "Should someone activate the code, we can intercept the signal, but will then face a problem." "We don't know whereabouts of the bombs, we don't know the trigger period, we can't trace the source of the signal." "Don't play a Messiah." "For morons like you and Jaffad, it's all not about idea, but about business." "You want to become a terrorist number one?" " Oh, yes!" " To attract money, eh?" "Yes, to attract money..." "Or some big idea." "What's the difference?" "Doesn't matter what will trigger off the bombs." "Four huge cities will go to hell!" "That's what matters!" "You're a madman." "Oh, yes!" "The code for the bombs like these to self-activate is usually eleven numerals, the first seven numerals wake the bombs up, then there follow 20 sacs of auto-testing and sending stand-by signals, that's exactly when we can track down the location of bombs," "but they can be neutralized only at the spot, by stopping someone who wants to enter the rest of the code." " Does she know about this?" " Yes." "Okay, let's skip all sentiments." "Let's set down to business." "Why did Jaffad order to kill Sakhik Kirami?" "Kirami had tapes with murders carried out by Jaffad in the Middle East." "Here in Malaysia, Kirami came in need of money and started blackmailing Jaffad." "Who stands for Kirami now?" "Who is now the keeper of the code's last portion?" "I don't know." " Jaffad came to this city?" " Yes." "I met with Jaffad here on April 14." " He stayed alone here?" " Yes." "The Italian was his lawyer, the Norwegian - his friend and physician." "Sakhik Kirami was his closest helpmate." "Whom did he choose in Kirami's stead?" "He couldn't trust some random person." "How long did you stay here?" "We flew away on that very day." "Did he call anyone?" " No, as far as I know." "Did he meet with anyone?" "What?" "He did see someone..." "His brother." "Said is in town now." " Who are you?" " We need to talk." "It's very important." "I met you somewhere before." "I was here not long ago, with your brother." "Jaffad is dead." "You should better leave." "Look, it's very important." "I will call the police." "Police can't avenge the death of your brother." "Go away." "ClA HEADQUARTERS." "LANGLEY." "THE USA" "We found our French guy!" "He is in Malaysia!" "Our people are tending Jaffad's brother." "That type visited him today!" "And he came with company!" "Watch them closely, report about their movements." " Hello?" " Come out on the balcony." " Who was calling?" " I don't know." "Wrong number." "You wear Jaffad's brand." "Means he trusted you." "Before his death he called me." "He felt that he was doomed." " He said that..." " Where can we meet?" "On the observation deck." "In 60 minutes." "Don't trust him." "He will cheat you." "You know him?" "He was doing business with Jaffad." "And then they parted their ways." "Louis was always a piece of scum." "What did Jaffad tell you?" "He said he had changed the numerals borne by Akhik Kirami, and that you are the one bearing the new ones." "I am the one?" "She said, "I'm the one"?" "Yes, that's what he said." "I don't understand." "She turned away, I can't see her lips." " Jaffad didn't say me anything like that." " But maybe there was some message?" "No." "Try to remember." "He said that you will guess." "He trusted you." "You wear his brand!" "Remember this day!" "Remember the most important day in your life!" " He said: "Remember this day. "" " What day?" "This brand was scorched three days after we returned from Malaysia." "I was screaming from pain, he leaned over me and said all the time: "Remember this day. "" "That's what he said?" "To remember that day?" "Three days after you both came from Malaysia" "Jaffad had this brand scorched on your hand." "Let's count:" "You leaved Kuala Lumpura in the morning of April 14, and in the evening you arrived to his fortress." "Plus three days..." "Makes April 17th!" "17.04.2007" "As simple as that!" "That old fox!" "Back in ancient Babylon servants were branded so as they could remember some important information, alongside with torments which stay in your memory." " Where are you?" " I look straight at you." "My plane's leaving soon." "Our tandem is over." "I will kill you." "I don't think so." "You're left with too much problems on your hands." "By By." "Run!" "This way!" " Where's the jumper and reporters?" " On the roof!" " Stay here." " I'm coming with you." "It's a dangerous jump, we even cleared the square of people." " It's her!" " Yes!" "Hi, good afternoon." "Please, can you help me?" "My husband took the plane and left me here..." "Number 28 on the line." "Put her through." "I'm at the airport of Kuala Lumpura." "30 minutes ago our client took a plane to Bangkok." "He is registered as..." "Correction - he is flying to Jaffad's place..." " Possible source of signal - object C." " Are you sure?" " Yes." "Also..." "I'm being stalked." "I'm not sure, but I think it's Americans." " We'll handle this." " Keep in touch with the Ministry of Defense." "Can you get there before him?" "Yes, but I'll need your help." "I need to be in Moscow by today evening." "Of course, if it's so important." "But -the new route - we should notify the local authorities." "We've already done this." "Great." "And how do I address her?" "What's her rank?" "Okay, she'll be leaving right now." "Good." "Well, Colonel, let's go." " They're after you?" " Yes." "This way." "We've found the very likely location of the control unit." "MOSCOW." "LUBYANKA" "Our agent will get there alone." "We'll need reinforcement." "Only aviation group from the Persian Gulf can be in time there." "It's a problem country, but we've a case of nuclear terrorism on hands." "I think they'll show cooperation." "Yes, Nikolai?" "Put me through to the Minister of Defense." "I don't know who you are, but if you're watching this tape, it means I'm dead already." "If you're friend, you know what to do, if you are enemy - run for your life, for in five minutes the fortress will blow up." "We've a signal from object C!" "Let's work!" " The signal's coming through." " Jaffad's fortress?" "Yes." "Understood." "So, you told me the wrong numbers." ""1st part of the code entered." "Device unlocked"" ""Enter the 2nd portion. "" "Dear colleagues, we want to inform you of the following..." "MOSCOW." "LUBYANKA" "We're holding a secret operation in the Persian Gulf, and it's performed by our FSB officer." " How did you get here?" " I convinced your people." "We've information that the ClA are watching our agent, which they take for a member of a terrorist organization." "2nd part of the code entered." "Auto-testing is on." "We've return signals." "We've the first coordinates..." "The 2nd city..." "The 3rd city." "The 4th city." "We know their targets."

"Signal terminated." "Shoot by my command only!" "Target locked-on." "Waiting for your command." "What the hell?" "What's going on?" "A Russian colonel?" "But isn't she..."
