Move it! (ALARM BLASTS) Go! Move it! Let's go. Let's go. There's four of you. So, you can count? I'm impressed. Now drive. Rule one - never change the deal. The deal was transportation for three men, combined weight 254 kilos. Yeah? This is the new deal. An extra 80 kilos means we'll not make your destination on the gas I have. So get more gas. Every stop exposes us, which increases the risk of getting caught. An extra 80 kilos means the shock absorbers I installed will not give us the ability to out-manoeuvre the police. Which means if there's a chase, we lose our advantage, increasing the possibility of getting caught. I don't wanna get caught. You don't wanna get caught. Drive or you'll catch a bullet! Who'll drive? Shoot him. I'll drive. Not without the ignition code you won't. Three men, 254 kilos, that was the deal. AghhhHHH! (GUNSHOT BLASTS) Three men,... 254 kilos. Seat belts. Shit! (ENGINE REVS) See what I mean about the shocks? (POLICE SIREN WAILS) Now it's time. Move! Look out! Wrong way! We're going the wrong way! Stop! Look out! Whoa! No! (YELLS) (YELLS IN FRENCH) (ALL LAUGH) Yes! Yeah! Yeah! Go! Go! Go! Agh! Oh,... shit! (RETCHES) No! No! If you don't mind, I've just conditioned the leather. (RETCHES/COUGHS) Take us to the drop-off point. Not yet. 'Agh!' 'STOP!' Hello. The cops! What are you doing? Don't stop now! Do something! Do something! What are you thinking? (ENGINE REVS/TYRES SCREECH) STOP! No! No! Noooooooo! (ALL SCREAM) Your gun, please. AghhHHH! (YELLS) (TRAIN WHISTLES) Police! Stop! Stop! Police! (GUNSHOTS BLAST) I'm fed up with this horse shit! You gave me too much. I need you to take us to Avignon. The deal was this far, no further. The deal is the deal - rule one. Rules are meant to be broken. Not mine. Let's go. Get in the car! Come on! Hey! Move! (RADIO) "Really I did!" "How come you don't have your card?" "I must have left it in 'Nam on the base." "They all say that." I'll show you what we do to people who left it in 'Nam on the base. "Oh, no! Where are you taking me?" "You've got to be punished." "It's a fate far worse than death." "The government reaffirmed it's commitment to meeting the IMF target this year." "Yesterday, in Nice, four men robbed the Alliance Investment Corporation." "One man died." "The others were apprehended early this morning when they took a wrong turn "on a one-way street in Avignon and ran into a taxi cab." "Were it not for the poor driving habits, the 20 million euros in bearer bonds "would have been cashed and gone by this afternoon." "In other news..." (DOORBELL RINGS) I always say the way a man treats his car is how he treats himself. I'd say that's probably true, Inspector. (CHUCKLES) You have a good sense of humour for a foreigner. Like the French, sly wit, just the right amount of flavour. Been out driving? Till they pass a law that says I can't. Do you wanna come in for a coffee? Thank you, but I have a lot of stops to make - 88 to be exact. That's a lot of stops. A lot of '99 black BMWs 765s with 06 in their licence plates have checked out. Ah, it's a very popular car with a certain type down here. You have seen them. They come over from Italy in those expensive suits and the young pretty girls with the big jewellery and too much make-up. Very... mafia! There was a robbery, a getaway, some very fancy driving. By someone in a 1999 black BMW 735? Yeah, with 06 in the plate. Been in the city lately? Not for a while. I love Nice, the food, the way they grill fish. No place in France does it the way they do in Nice and the women! I prefer the women there. They are more... complicated than the local variety, don't you think? I don't particularly like complicated. You like it simple? Why are you so interested? Oh, you know... Ever since I was a little boy, military people have always intrigued me. I'm ex-military. I am an ex-little boy. Are you sure you don't have time for a coffee? Everything is always so neat with you, Mr Frank. Nothing is ever out of place. I take that as a compliment, coming from a man who pays attention to every detail. Maybe I'll come back later for that coffee. The door's always open to you. (MOBILE PHONE RINGS) "Luc gave me your number." Be brief. "I need a transporter." Yeah. One bag, that's it. Dimensions? Be specific. One metre 50 by half a metre. Weight? 50 kilo, not more. Destination? 24 Rue Sangora. You're delivering to- Rule two - no names. Time of pick-up? Seven o'clock in the morning at the front door. A package - one metre 50 by 50, 50 kilos. 250 km, travelling within the speed limit with one stop for refreshments, 40,000 - half now, half on delivery. Delivery will be at noon. If no-one's there, it is not my responsibility. Once we make a deal, the terms cannot be changed. Another rule? That's rule number one. Do we have a deal? You're very precise. Transportation is a precise business. (WHIRRING) Flat! (MUSIC STOPS) (UNSETTLING MUSIC) (SOFT BREATHING) (ENGINE STARTS) Hi. Don't move. (MOANS) I'm just gonna make a hole so you can drink. Please. (SCREAMS) Please, come on. (SCREAMS) Come on, drink. Slowly. OK, OK, that's enough. Good girl. (SHRIEKS) '(BANGING/MUFFLED SCREAMING)' '(MUFFLED SCREAMING)' (GROANS) I'm going to take the tape off. If you scream, I'll have to kill you. Understand? I have to pee. You want me to do it in your car? OK. I'm gonna take my knife out. It's to cut you free. You don't need your mouth to pee. You have one minute. 55,... 54,... 53,... 52,... You're breaking the rules, Frank. It's not good to break the rules. Fifteen... Seven... Two... Time's up. Don't make me drag you out. Shit! (SCREAMS) (SCREAMS) No! Rule three - never look in the package. I hope you enjoyed your pee, because it's your last on this trip. (SCREAMS) See what comes of breaking the rules. # Yes # My music, my life, my art, my soul # My music, my everything, I give my all # My wife, my daughter, my love, my dream # My mother, my father, my brother, my team # My camp, my squad, my house, my car # My boat, my shoes, my pants, my shirt, # My coke, my sugar, my cream, my butter, # My toast, my all, my queen, my folks # My baby walk like sex dreams # Talks like she's my everything # Baby # You're late. Ran into a little problem. Nothing serious? Nothing serious. (MUFFLED SCREAMING) Did you open the package? Rule three - never open the package. Ha! I like that! Rules! You can't get anything done in the world without rules. You're a foreigner, right? It's a nice little thing you've got going. High-class, good reputation... I didn't get your name. Rule two - no names. Of course. You don't count it. Why, should I? No, no! That concludes the deal. You know,... I was wondering... ..if you wouldn't mind transporting something for me. That's what you do, right? You deliver, no questions asked. Why not? Weight? Maybe a kilo. Destination? Grenoble, 306 Rue De Lac. Mr... Oh, right, I forgot - rule two. (CHUCKLES) I like him. (EXPLOSION) (METALLIC THUD/DEBRIS CLATTERS) (DOORBELL RINGS) What the...? (WOOD SMASHES/GLASS SHATTERS) (GUNSHOTS) (DISTANT GUNSHOTS) (YELLING) Where is he? (GUNFIRE) (WIRES SPARK, ENGINE STARTS) (BRAKES SCREECH) You're like dog shit. You're everywhere! (SCREAMS) Yeah, I know you wanna pee. All you wanna do is pee! (SCREAMS) Shit. (TYRES SCREECH) # I got love # I got love for my homies who be rollin' wit me # Play no games Frank, you stupid shit! # I got love # I got love for my niggers on my family tree # I got love # Love for the ghetto, down for whatever # If you was down before, then, you still gonna be # I got game cos the game was given to me # (MUFFLED SCREAMS) I ask the questions. You answer the questions. Keep it simple. Got it? Who are you? My name is Lai. I come from - I ask the questions. You answer the questions. Nothing more, nothing less. Try again? What kind of shit am I in? Deep shit, very deep shit. I won't say anything! (MICROWAVE PINGS) Bon appetit. Where are you going? Ow! To bed. I can't think when I'm tired. Sleep helps me see things better. Can I leave? Be my guest. Agh! (LOUD THUD) (DISTANT THUD) Hey! Are you comfortable? Boss - Shhh! Save your strength. Just tell me... who did this? The transporter. The transporter's dead. He's not. Believe me. I believe you. And the police,... they were here? You told them nothing, right? Right. Of course. You couldn't talk. Yeah. Let's keep it that way. (GROANS) (MUFFLED GROANS) (COMPUTER BLEEPS) I picked them from the garden. I hope you don't mind. I didn't know if you liked coffee or tea so I made both. (MICROWAVE PINGS) I hope you like, er,... mad... el... eines. Try one. Careful, it's hot. Good? Let me. I like it quiet in the morning. Yes, quiet in the morning. Me, too. Me, too. I'm the same way. I like very quiet. Sorry. Are you looking for milk? There's milk at the door. Stay. I'll go. Hi. And you are? The new cook. Is Monsieur Frank in? Ah, Monsieur Frank. Is your invitation for coffee still open? Sure, come on. Please, sit. Madeleine? Home-made? Yes. I'll bring some more. Ah. My mother used to make fresh madeleines in the morning. I smell them and my whole childhood comes back in one big flood. Like Proust. Have you ever read Proust? No. Ah, it's fantastic. Memory like a steel trap. He would have been a great cop, determined. Milk? Please. Thank you. I used to have a memory like Proust, like a filing cabinet up there. I'd see something and remember it. Like licence plates. I could see a plate and it was printed in my head. Now I need all the help remembering which plate goes with whose car,... ..like this one. That's mine. Ah, memories! So, where's the rest of the car? I was hoping you could tell me. It was stolen. Oh? I went down to Frejus. I came out of the market and it was... Gone. Did you report it? It's the first on my list of things to do today. It's a long walk from Frejus. How did you get home? I brought him. I saw him walking along the dark road. A risky thing - picking up a stranger on the dark road. He had a kind face. I didn't see a car outside. It's in the garage. May I see it? Uh-huh. (WHISTLES) Pretty nice car for a cook. Some people have a problem with the Germans. They are aggressive. They take up the best beaches. They can't cook worth a damn. I say anyone who makes such good cars can't be all bad. This worked out well for Monsieur Frank. Worked out for both of us! Bon. My intuition says this is a good time for me to go file my report. Where's the rest of my car? Oh, yes. I almost forgot. It was burnt to pieces at a rest stop. What's left of it is down at the lab. They are trying to separate what was left of the two cops in the trunk from the rest of it. But you wouldn't know nothing about that? No. Sorry to interrupt. Thank you for the coffee and the memories. Come back any time. Would you mind walking me? No. You have always been very quiet about your business, Monsieur Frank. I appreciate that, as one to another, but this business at the rest stop it is not very quiet. I don't suppose you'd tell me something besides a stolen car story? If I had one, I would. I suggest that, when the two of you show up in my office after lunch, that you have a better one than you currently have. You are the one he wants to see, not me. QUIET! Please. I have to think. You were supposed to think last night. Last night I had nightmares about a girl who came into my nice, quiet life and screwed it all up. Every move she made turned into a catastrophe. OK, sorry. I'm still wondering if I want to know everything or nothing about you. What? It's quiet. I thought you liked quiet. (INSECT BUZZES) Yeah, not this quiet. (ROCKET BUZZES) (EXPLOSION) (SCREAMS) (WOOD CREAKS/CRASHES) (RUBBLE CLATTERS) (COUGHS/SPLUTTERS) Are you OK? No! Good, let's go. (RAPID GUNFIRE) (SCREAMS) (SCREAMS) Go! Go! Go! Agh! Agh! Don't stay there! (SCREAMS) (GUNFIRE STOPS) (ROCKET RUMBLES) FRANK! Agh! Come on! Give me your hand! Agh! (EXPLOSION) (SCREAMS) (SCREAMS) (SCREAMS HYSTERICALLY) Come on. Come on! Get in! Get in! (SCREAMS) Get in! Do you wanna live? Do you wanna die? Get in! (EXPLOSION) (SCREAMS) (GASPS) Agh! Calm down, OK? (SPLUTTERS/CRIES) Don't worry. Are you OK? (WHIMPERS) Stay here. I'll be back. No! (SHRIEKS) Wait! Wait! (GASPS/SCREAMS) Put it on. Are you OK? Yes. Sure? OK. Let's go. (TRANQUIL INCIDENTAL MUSIC) Frank,... is this your house? Frank! Yeah. Guess(!) Frank! I should mind my own goddamn business. A simple rule, a simple little rule! There's got to be some dry clothes in this house. Don't open the package. Nothing but trouble if you open the package. Frank. What are you doing? Making up for the trouble. Oh, wait! Wait. Why...? No more questions. I don't like it when things get complicated. You like things simple,... very simple. I'm not so clear about the house. Could you explain? After I left... We went for a walk on the beach, had a swim. Where? Past The Point. Anyone else swimming? No. Did you see anyone else swimming? No, no-one. So, you took a walk,... ..had a swim on a beach where no-one else was swimming, past The Point where you can't see or be seen on either side, which makes witnesses hard to come by? That's the point of a romantic swim. Who wants witnesses? Then? We came back to the house and found it on fire. Just like that, on fire? Yes. And the five dozen rounds of spent ammo my men found around the house? Maybe they had the wrong house. Monsieur Frank, people with this kind of firepower do not make mistakes about who they visit. Who would want you this dead? I don't know. Any problems with a client? I don't have clients. I'm retired. I live on my army pension. You know that. You know who I am and what I was. Any enemies? People from the past? I left the past behind. A past like yours, you never leave behind. (KNOCK AT DOOR) (SPEAKS IN FRENCH) I'll just be a moment. Don't leave. What are you doing? Computers know everything. You just need a password. What?! We're in a police station. You always complain, except when we make love, then you say nothing. A-ha! Ah! La, la, la... Hello! See! So, where will you be staying? I dunno. My cousin has a small hotel. Thanks, but we'll manage. Without money, it could be hard. Here, it's not much, but at least you won't go hungry. Thank you. Where are you going? To see that guy. Good luck! One moment. You're not coming? No. But he blew up your car! I'll buy a new one. He burned your house. I'll rebuild it. He tried to kill you. He thinks he succeeded. Here's some advice. I don't know what you're in to. I don't care! But whoever wanted you dead, thinks you're dead. You have a free pass to start over. Here's the advice - start over! There are 400 people dying in a container on a ship. My father,... my sisters,... the ship... arrives today. They will make my father a slave. The only one who knows the container number is that guy. You're very good. What do you mean? From the moment you saw my pictures, you were setting me up. Breakfast, giving the excuse to the cop. One lie after another! Not everything is a lie. Name one thing that isn't. What happened in the house between us, that was not a lie. You were a soldier. Your job was to save people. Past tense. What does that mean? It means I got tired of seeing my best efforts get turned into shit. No-one cared. This time,... ..I care. Ha! Thank you. Bon jour! Bon jour. No-one calls for half an hour? Hello! Surprise! Agh! Sit. Put your hands where I can see them. Before we get to the heart of the matter, why did you try to kill me? You lied to me. You opened the package. You broke the rules, your rules. What did you expect me to do, recommend you for another job? What's the ship number? Mr Transporter, we can both agree I answered your first question politely. I won't answer any more. So I suggest you kill me right now... ..and go screw yourself. I can't find anything. Oh, poor Frank! What did she tell you, we're smuggling people? I tell you Lai's the perfect name for her. (PHONE BLEEPS) "Mr Kwai's here." Your father's here. He'll get a kick out of this. Your father's in a container. Yes. I mean, no. They have 400 people in that container. Stay where you are! She's a real heartbreaker, isn't she, Frank? Two choices - the information on the paper or your brain is on the desk. Now, tell me I'm lying. Nine,... Lai! Eight,... Give me the gun. I don't know what you're talking about. Five,... four,... three,... two,... One. Shoot. Lai! (TALKS IN CHINESE) Liar! Would I kill my own daughter, Lai? Come on, now. Put it down. We'll talk. She thinks we're smuggling people in containers. I don't know where you get these ideas. Stay away! Would you kill your own father? Please, I'm begging you. Stop what you are doing. I do what I do. I am who I am. I'll never change. If you're gonna kill me, kill me. But if you don't, get this gun out of my face. Give me. No! (TALKS IN CHINESE) I know he's innocent. You have such a good heart. Always interested in saving innocent people. Here's your big chance! Drop your gun and you'll save one. KILL HIM! NO! (PHONE BLEEPS) The police are on their way up. What, now? Take her. Send in Leo. I need him to wrap something up. There are 400 people in that container. Only 395 made it here alive. Agh! Frank! Inspector, am I glad you're here. What is this? He used my partner's daughter to blackmail us. My security got the drop on him. I want to press charges - kidnapping, extortion, assault. I know this man. I suppose in your business you have to know all types. Now, should I call my lawyer? We'll handle it. I'll expect all of you down at my office to give your statements. As soon as I contact my lawyer, we'll be more than happy to oblige. Ooh! (GASPS) You will have a headache for a few days, then, it'll go back to normal. Where are they? I think you should be more concerned with where you are. What got into you? You were always so careful. I've got to get out of here. The charges are filed. You will not be getting out for a long time. Assaulting a distinguished member of the international business community, kidnapping his daughter, extortion... I'm sorry, Frank, I would like to help you, but if you continue with the same story - retired, living in a pension... I need fresh, Frank. I need new. For once, I need the truth. OK. They're smuggling people from Asia through Marseille in containers. You know this for fact? The girl told me. You believe her? Yes. In France, we have a saying - never believe the cook. She's not the cook. Oh! I suspected. Frank, no-one is perfect. So, you're gonna do nothing? I'm saying I'm going to start an investigation. In the meantime, 400 people could be dead. What am I supposed to do? There are laws. Make your own law. Like you? It doesn't take me a year to do a job. Yes, that's what I admire about you, Frank. All that army training, all that sneaking around, you could probably resolve this case in,... how long, 12 hours? Less. Less? Impressive. You would be the perfect man for the job. Yes, if I were out. Yes, if you were out. (FUNKY LATIN MUSIC) Anybody moves and I kill him. (MUTTERS IN FRENCH) # I met him in the Bahamas # I love that nigger persona # Smoke that nigger marijuana, get freaky, call me Madonna # Lay on the bed, he follow, bone him until tomorrow # Make him sing high soprano # Agh # Fif-oh! Fifty, fifty # Mr Act-Super-Kinky # Baby, what you're gonna get me # Is some rings for my little pinky # Money will multiply, 'fore you run up inside # Make me all weak and tired, mmmmm # Ooh, make it, ooh # If this is how you transport, I'm amazed you get any work, at all. Come on, give me a hand. Maybe I should go with you. Thanks, but I'm better alone. That is a very small boat to fight a very big war. Yeah, but it's a good boat. Frank, here,... ..you'll need it. Maybe not. Your shipment's cleared. Paperwork. Take the highway to the first exit in Lyon. Go straight to the warehouse. We'll be right behind you, just in case. We're ready to go. (TALKS IN CHINESE) Lai, dear. (TALKS IN CHINESE) I spent thousands of dollars for you to go to school and learn English. The least you can do is speak it. I hate you. I'm still your father. Get her out of here. (GUNFIRE) Agh! Give me a minute. Agh! Keep him alive. Let's go! Down. Go! Agh! Agh! Agh! Agh! AghhHH! (GUNFIRE) (GROANS IN AGONY) # Get re-re-ready to rock You don't have a girlfriend. You don't need a lot of calls or text. You don't have a girlfriend. You don't need a lot of calls or text. You need data ` for dating sites, like Honey Badger. (LAUGHS) You do have a girlfriend. You need less data and more calls ` lovey-dovey calls. # You make me... # You don't have a girlfriend again. She won't return your calls. You need more text. Things change. Now your Prepay can too. Get more of what you need and less of what you don't with Vodafone My Flex Prepay. (ENGINE CHUGS) Ooh! (METALLIC CLANK) Bitch! (ENGINE DRONES) Good morning. I'm looking to do a little sightseeing. This plane is not for tourists. (CHUCKLES) I'm not a tourist. Phone this guy and tell him to meet me. Sure. Where? Down there. (YELLS) AghhHHH! Agh! Agh! (GUNSHOTS) (BRAKES SCREECH) (GLASS CRASHES) Get closer! Steady. No, Dad, no! (GUNFIRE) (YELLS) Agh! Get away! Aghh! Agh! Agh! AghHH! AghhhHH! AghhhHH! (SIGHS) WHISPERS: Magic. Magic. Be amazed at what you can get with BK's new Change Range. And now, for a limited time, 10 nuggets for just $3. SMOOTH MUSIC Bro. It's Pamela. SMOOTH MUSIC (SLURPS) # You know we get down with all the cyber moms. # One of them told me I was hot right now like Tiger Balm. # One of them said, 'Larz, you a teen heart-throb ` # 'make my baby faint; make a tween's heart stop.' # (GRUNTS, RETCHES) Ewww. He's a bit of a grossie, eh? (CHUCKLES SOFTLY) < (GRUNTS) Is that your friend? Him? (CHUCKLES) Nah. < (RETCHES) Ooh. Down! Hands on your head. Move! Watch her. If she moves or I don't return, shoot her. To the water. I'm really not in the mood for a swim. MARCH! So, how did a low-life like you end up with my daughter? I found her in a bag. Isn't that where you left her? You know nothing! You got involved with the wrong girl, you dumb shit. The delivery will be made. She will get over it. Maybe she'll see the light. If she's lucky, you'll get hit by a truck. What do you know? She'll never stop being who she is. She'll never be you or anything like you. She'll come around, but you won't be here to see it. No! (GUNSHOT) I guess she won't be coming around after all. Turn around! I'd rather see it coming. It makes no difference to me. (GUNSHOT) He was a bastard, but he was still my father. Pretty impressive timing, Frank. I guess I underestimated you. (SPEAKS CHINESE)
