Delta Team, he's 50 metres away,
Can yousee him?
He's headed your way,
All right, let's roll.
Hold your fire!
Everyone hold back out there.
Let him run. He ain't going nowhere.
Back away! Back away!
Get out of here.
They're gone. You won't be hurt.
Put that gun down.
Don't make me!
It's inappropriate for a murderer
to come to his victim's funeral.
- I'm just here to pay my respects.
- Respect?
For the blood of my child?
My orphaned grandson.
- Your son made his choice.
- And you made yours, detective.
The day you chose to pursue
Against my family ...
Your position offers the opportunity
for arrogance, but not safety.
My son is dead.
My condolences.
A child is irreplaceable.
Which brings us to your task.
It involves a cop.
That's why we want an outsider.
After that,
your obligation to me ends.
There's been a problem.
- Yeah? This is Eddie,
- It's John.
What happened?
The piece wasn't where I left it?
It was there.
I need a passport, can you help me?
- Yeah, I'll call Bob.
- No, he works for Wei.
Everybody works for Wei.
What do you want?
I wantsomeone who doesn't
I know this broad.
She's a pain in the ass, though.
Her name's Meg Coburn.
- Meg Coburn.
- In the Olive Building.
- Where will you be?
- It's better if you don't know.
All right, Johnny. Watch your back.
- Yeah?
- Meg Coburn?
- Eddie sent me.
Great! Just hang on a second.
Come on in.
- Can I help you?
- I need a package.
- What's a package?
- Papers ... you know.
No, I don't know.
Can you be more specific?
I want forged documents to China.
Okay, you said forged.
We'll do it.
Have a seat.
- Or not.
- I don't have much time.
China. Mainland.
It'll cost you at least a grand.
How soon did you say
you needed this?
From here I go to the airport.
One hour.
That soon?
All right, back up.
Back up. I'm taking your picture.
Smile and say,
"Flight from prosecution."
- Okay, what's your name?
- John ...
- And.
- John Lee.
Thank you.
Aren't there like a billion
John Lees in China?
Yeah, all right. John Lee it is.
I can fix that.
Yeah?
Yeah?
Meg Coburn?
Never heard of her.
Hold it right there!
He's still out there.
He won't get to China.
We shouldn't be chasing
our problems, Mr. Kogan.
How would you like this handled?
Bring in professionals.
Men of John's talent.
Swindle, bad cheques, mail fraud,
But you make up for that in volume.
12 arrests before you were 16.
A bit unusual for a girl that age.
I've always considered myself
a feminist pioneer.
You've been clean here
for about 4 years.
You either got smart
or you've been very lucky.
Now let's talk about your office
and four dead bodies.
You really think a lightweight
like me did all that damage?
- Who's that?
- It looks like a ghost.
- Meg, you can do better than that.
- It was in your computer.
You're a bright girl
in a bad place ... I can help you.
I can't seem to remember one
bad place a cop helped me out of.
Is that so? Well ...
Somebody had to help you out
with custodial placement at 14.
- You don't know a thing about me.
- It's all here in black and white.
- You're looking at two years.
- Minimum.
You're not as smart as you think.
You're messing with Terence Wei.
- Terence Wei?
- That's right.
Where the hell do you think
all those dead bodies came from?
Okay, this is the part
where I get appointed an attorney.
You're not under arrest.
You're not entitled to an attorney.
Then I can walk out
of the f***ing door.
Go right ahead, but somebody
- I'm real scared. See me shaking?
- I sure as hell do.
I've got a deal for you.
You tell me all about this guy,
and I'll give you police protection.
I don't know anything.
But even if I did,
I wouldn't give it to you.
Suit yourself.
Detective Zedkov.
I didn't think so.
- She's in deep. Put a tail on her.
- Why not just charge her?
She's red meat. I'll put her
on a hook and see what the dogs do.
Sh*t!
Jesus Christ!
What the hell are you doing here?
- I still need papers.
- Great.
How do you expect me to cook
a passport? Crayons?
Anything that didn't get shot up,
the cops confiscated.
My $3,000 computer
is now a paper weight.
Four years of work down the drain
because of you.
We can go to Eddie for help.
I'm not going anywhere with you.
You're a walking bull's-eye.
- So are you. You're safer with me.
- Is it my perfume?
You're the second guy today
who thinks I need help. I don't.
It's not an option.
Then what happens when I tell you
to go f*** yourself?
Okay ... if that's
the way you want to play it.
When I have a gun,
we'll have this conversation again.
Come on, Nikk,
what have you got for me?
- My kid works faster than this.
- There's not much there.
Okay, I think I've got it.
There's your ghost.
Good stuff, Nikk. Come on.
Eddie ..?
Let's go.
Eddie!
Sh*t!
Eddie.
You two make a cute couple.
You're welcome to try.
Take his gun. Check them.
I beat my head against the wall
trying to anticipate your next move.
Actually, I beat Eddie's head
against the wall.
Mr. Wei will be
pleased we found you.
Obviously this situation
has nothing to do with me.
Let me walk out of the door.
I'm sorry, Meg,
but you're in a little too deep.
- You picked the wrong partner.
- Partner? I'm his hostage.
I just met this guy yesterday.
He told me his name was John Lee.
His name is John Lee.
And hostages tend to get killed.
Cuff him.
Cuff them both.
How's that leg?
How's yours?
Bring the car around.
Flush him out.
Jesus! You came back.
- Get down!
- Sh*t!
Take the keys.
Give me your gun!
Get this car moving.
Come on. Go!
Put the gun down!
Sh*t!
- Another problem, Mr. Kogan.
- John was lucky.
Don't confuse luck with skill.
John's father and I served in China.
He was an honourable man.
But he could be ruthless.
John is like him.
- Where are John's replacements?
- They're arriving as we speak.
- It's going to hurt.
- Just do it.
I told you we would have this
conversation again.
What did you get me into
with Terence Wei?
Put your gun down.
Would you let me
walk out of that door?
- I didn't think so.
- Do it.
Do it.
I'm sorry.
I want to know
what the hell is going on.
All I ever wanted ...
was for my family to be safe.
I would do anything to protect them.
Anything.
Mr. Wei used my mother and sister
to persuade me to do three jobs.
The first two were criminals.
It wasn't difficult.
What happened with the third?
I couldn't do it.
If I don't get back to China ...
... my family will die.
- What was that all about?
- I have a passport.
Fix it for me. Then you can go.
My family is running out of time.
I'll need a picture.
What do you mean,
that's all you've got?
Give me the money
and get the f*** out of here.
- Damn, you look good!
- Not today, Loco.
