Out for a Kill Page #2

- Is this ringing any bells with you? | - No, sir.

- He's the guy who hired you. | - I thought I was hired by the university.

I'm an archeologist, | a specialist in the Han Dynasty.

I was sent here | to appraise a bunch of artifacts.

- I think I might like to call my wife. | - Come on, Professor.

You're telling me you didn't have an inkling | you were smuggling?

Yeah, that's kind of what I'm trying to say.

I prepared these documents myself.

Yeah, you prepared them all right.

You know what the deal is here? | This is China, pal.

You're looking at a murder rap, | plus you're looking at narcotics trafficking.

I think you got the wrong guy. | I'm a professor. I just received an award.

Your signature is on these documents.

They set you up to take the fall, | and you just sit here.

- I think I need a lawyer. | - That's the first smart thing you said all day.

I'm done talking to this guy. You talk to him.

The system's like a pit bull.

Once it grabs a hold of someone, | it doesn't let go without real good reason.

You have to give us that reason.

I'm gonna give you the reason. | You know what it is?

I'm innocent.

I don't know this man.

I need a phone. I wanna call my wife.

I wish I could help you.

Archeologist my ass. | That boy is as crooked as a stick.

You know it's not his fault.

Is this one of those female-intuition things?

He screwed up, he got caught. End of story.

He said he was innocent.

You remember, you told me to tell you | when you over-complicated things?

You're doing it. This is one of those times.

I'll go call New York.

I want this professor released.

We need to use him as bait | and see who bites.

Chinese cops won't release him that easily.

Why?

Chinese authorities are not very happy | with our professor.

They don't believe he's innocent, | and his signature's all over every document.

And who's this Wong Dai | they keep referring to?

He's this Chinese guy...

running a drug-smuggling | and international money-laundering ring.

His people are responsible | for shooting up that nightclub in Bulgaria.

He keeps shifting bases | between the Far East and Europe.

We also know that Wong Dai | is trying to eliminate his opposition.

I want you to use this professor as bait.

Let Wong Dai think he works for us.

He'll use the professor | to rub out his own men.

It's an old Chinese-gang tactic.

What happens to the professor | and his family?

F*** him.
