(hostage pants)
You know why you're here?
It wasn't supposed to go
down like that, man. I swear.
You build the bomb. You
don't get to plead ignorance.
Listen, man! I'm sorry!
No one was supposed to get hurt.
All right. That makes
everything okay then, doesn't it?
Please. I'll tell you
anything you want to know.
Just don't hurt me.
You're damn right you will.
Who triggered the bomb?
I can't tell you that.
If I give you his name, I'm a dead man.
(suspenseful music continues)
You think you have a choice?
You think you have a choice?
Tania is dead because of you! (Spits)
Sorry.
I'm sorry.
His name is Edson.
Edson flipped the switch.
He killed Tania.
Where I can find this Edson?
I don't know, man. I swear!
Well, well.
I guess I have to find him
by myself, but don't worry.
I'll make sure you will
never hurt anyone again.

(dark synth music)
Hey!
It's Alex, the Frenchie.
What brings you around here?
What can I do for you, Alex?
I need your help to find a guy.
His name is Edson.
You know maybe something about him?
Edson. Why you looking for Edson?
He killed a woman I loved.
Oh, man. I'm sorry.
I didn't know you were in trouble.
I will make him pay for what he did.
Wait a minute.
You know, Edson,
he's connected to a lot
of organized crime people
and he's a trained killer.
You better be ready for
him. Do you understand?
- I have to try.
- Listen.
I run this gym, I train
Mike now, and my kids,
but I still know a few guys,
and they might help us with this situation
with you and Edson.
Okay, so, you might help me, right?
Sure, I can help you. Sure.
But let me ask you one thing.
You still got that left hook on that arm?
The knockout left hook?
You want to see, old
fart? Huh? (Chuckles)
What is this?
A fighter in a suit?
Why don't you try me? Huh?
Yeah, why don't you try me? Huh?
Come on, try me!
- Hey, Mike.
Mike. Mike, Mike, Mike.
- Come on!
Come on, Mike! Mike, come on!
A real dog, huh?
[Mike] Pussy in a suit.
Got a fight coming up, Mike.
Come on, get back to work.
Come on. Let's go.
I call on you, okay?
(speaks foreign language) Alex.
You promise you will help me, right?
I'll help you, Alex.
Come on, let's go. Come on, come on.
Faster, let's go. Come
on, faster with that.
Come on. Come on, Mike.
Come on, Mike. That a boy.
That a boy. Show me
that left hook, come on.
That it. That's it, double up on that.
(gentle piano music)
Thank you.
I could send you love letters
Close to you, it was all better
You're dead!
(ominous music)
[Tania] Breakfast, my love.
Hey, good morning.
Hi.
(gentle music)
For you.
Tania.
We can't keep doing this.
(Tania sighs)
I know, Alex.
But I can't stop my feelings.
And this connection between us is,
is too strong.
I'm supposed to protect you,
not fall in love with you.
It's put everything at risk.
(Tania chuckles)
But I never asked for this,
and I never wanted to
fall in love with you.
And you know that the feelings
doesn't always follow the rules, my love.
We have to be rational, Tania.
My duty is to protect you.
I'm afraid I can't be
focused on my mission.
I understand the risks, Alex.
But
living a life without you is just,
I just can't.
I can't lose you, Tania.
I will do anything to protect you.
(chuckles) Yeah.
Then do what it takes,
my love, to protect me.
Do everything.
But I cannot lose you.
(Tania chuckles)
(Tania chuckles)
I love you.
(warm music)
(Tania chuckles)
(Alex sighs)
(door squeaks)
(door closes)
(footsteps approach)
Alex, my friend. It's been too long.
What do you want, Lewis?
I need you to do one more job for me.
I'm not the one you think I am
What?
You know I'm done with this life.
I know, but this is different.
It's an old friend of
mine. General Kasongo.
He's recently become the
president of his nation
and his daughter is in Europe.
He's received threats and
he wants her protected.
Why he can't just hire a bodyguard?
Because, my friend, you're the best.
That's why they call you the Shepherd.
And he specifically requested you.
What's the catch?
No catch.
Just protect the girl, keep her safe,
and bring her home to her father.
(Alex sighs)
[Alex] I have his name.
I have to find him.
Don't make this personal.
Sometimes you win and sometimes you lose.
That's the risk we all
take to do this job.
It wasn't your fault.
(Lewis sighs)
This is not your contract.
You're a good man, Alex.
Let it go.
Let it go?
"Let it go."
He killed my girlfriend.
Of course it's personal!
(Lewis sighs)
Look, I know you got a hard head,
and you don't want to
hear what I have to say.
But if you help me with this mission,
I'll help you get your guy.
Deal?
All right.
I will do it.
But this is really my last job.
Of course it is.
You leave tomorrow.
If you can fix my broken heart
(suspenseful synth music)
Did you bring me what I asked for?
It's all there.
Accounts, names, offshore
account numbers. Everything.
Good.
And now you have a decision to make.
[Jacques] A, a decision?
I don't understand.
It's you, or your family.
Come on.
I've done everything you asked me.
I, I, I did the part of the deal.
Do you think your boss
will tolerate being let down?
My, my boss doesn't have to know.
Come on, man. You know him.
He's, he's a guy and
I don't need your justification.
My job is to kill people like you.
No, no, no, no. No, I
won't make any trouble.
No, I swear. No, please.
But you already have, my friend.
And you know what that means?
No, no, no, no.
No, no, no!
(gun firing)
It's something that
will please my clients
(dark music)
(ominous music)
You're dead!
(gentle music)
(Tania chuckles)
(ominous music)
You're dead.
You're dead.
Dead. Dead.
(Alex pants)
(dark music)
(Alex pants)
(water splashes)
(muffled door closes)
(muffled door closes)
(suspenseful synth music)
You almost got shot, June.
Well, lock your door properly.
Someone could break in.
What are you doing here?
Yeah. Nice to see you, too.
Alex, look. I heard that you
were leaving town for Europe.
Just wanted to say goodbye.
Yeah?
Yeah.
You want to see goodbye
to my money, right?
Alex.
Alex.
Alex.
Always suspicious.
But no.
I came to give you some advice.
Go ahead.
Do not mess things up.
Why would I?
Well, I know you're going
to want to take revenge.
I know you.
It's not your problem.
Because you know that if
you don't deal with this,
it's gonna haunt you for
the rest of your life.
And who knows how many other people
will be involved in this vendetta.
It's not your fucking business.
Get the fuck outta here.
Okay, I know that you still blame me,
but Tania meant a lot
to me too, all right?
Okay, look.
It's been difficult with
Karen and she kicked me out.
So, I thought maybe I could
stay here, and uh, you know,
take care of your place while you're gone?
(Alex chuckles)
This is it. I knew it would happen.
Okay, Alex, please.
It would be just a couple of nights.
I'd be gone before you're back. I promise.
It was nice to see you, June.
Now,
get you a motel, and you have to go.
All right.
Thanks anyway.
And, uh,
this asshole is definitely not
someone to be taken lightly.
I'll be careful.
Don't call me back.
[June] All right!
Bye, Alex.
(Alex sighs)
(door slams)
(gentle music)
(suspenseful synth music)
(brakes squeak)
Told you I would bring her back.
You owe me a drink.
(car door closes)
[Alex] I hope you
took great care of her.
Maybe a bump or two and a
few scratches here and there,
but other than that, she
is in mint condition.
Oh, the uh, the engine?
Been making some weird noises.
Might wanna take a look at that.
I'm gonna kill you.
Huh?
(Alex laughs) I missed you, man.
What the fuck are you
doing in this shit hole?
Work or pleasure?
I have to do this last job,
to protect the daughter
of an African General.
Wow. You have changed since
the days we worked together.
What are you, some kind
of fucking bodyguard now?
No, it's for Lewis.
Hold up.
So you're gonna protect some
kid with more money than you?
He promised me to help me
to find the killer of Tania.
You do realize that
by killing the killer,
that ain't gonna decrease
the number of killers in the world.
I'll have to kill two of them, then.
I believe you will.
Anyhow, what say you
and me go get a drink,
before this kid arrives?
Okay, thanks, but no,
I have to stay sober.
I cannot screw up this job.
Well, okay then.
You be careful now.
These rich kids, they can be
more trouble than you think.
Adios, amigo.
I'm off to find me some
liquor and then a lady.
(Alex sighs)
I hate when he's right.
(car door opens)
(suspenseful synth music)
(car door opens)
(car door slams)
Well, well. Look who we have here.
Who are you? (Groans and pants)
What do you want?
You know what I want.
You helped that scum Kasongo get elected.
And now you're gonna pay for it.
What?
I didn't do anything wrong.
I was just doing my job.
Your job? You mean being a
puppet for the corrupt regime?
Don't bullshit me, Jim. I know everything.
Okay, fine. Fine.
What do you want from me?
I want to know where
Kasongo's daughter is hiding.
I need to eliminate her, too.
No.
I don't know where she is.
I swear.
Don't fucking lie to me, Jim!
You're her damn chauffeur.
You know where she goes, who she sees.
(Jim pants)
I'm telling the truth!
I don't know where she is!
I don't know anything!
Last chance, Jim. Don't
make me do this the hard way.
Okay.
Okay, okay.
Stop, stop. (Pants)
I'll tell you everything. (Pants)
But first, you have to
promise me something.
What?
Don't hurt her.
She's innocent.
She doesn't deserve this.
Okay, I promise. But you
better not be lying to me.
No.
She's under protection.
It's that guy.
Lapierre.
Alex Lapierre.
He's supposed to take her to the UK,
and then she's gonna be
taken care of by MI6.
It's all I know!
Thanks, Jim. You've been very helpful.
Can I ask you something?
What?
Why do you do this?
I mean, killing people. What's the point?
What's the point?
What's the fucking point?
You're kidding me, right?
- No, I'm serious!
Tell me!
You're a smart guy, Jim.
You know this life is about power.
Power to decide your own destiny.
Power to make others do what you want.
Power to decide who lives and who dies.
(Jim chuckles)
You're sick.
(Jim pants)
Maybe.
(gun firing)
(car door opens)
(distant siren wails)
(traffic hums)
(car door opens)
(car door closes)
(car door opens)
(car door closes)
So, it's you, the Shepherd?
[Alex] My name is Alex.
Okay. Whatever.
(engine revs)
(Lisa sighs)
Whoa, take it easy! It's real leather.
Aww!
I almost smash your junk into pieces.
Look, kid. I'm here
to protect you, okay?
You follow my rules.
And what are your rules?
I always have a plan. No
discussion, no seduction.
Ew!
"No seduction"?
You could be my dad. It's, it's so gross!
(Lisa sighs)
It's gonna be a long drive.
(car door slams)
(car starts)
(engine revs)
(keyboard clacks)
Matt Daniels.
I'm coming to get you.
(dark synth music)
Are you sure your car won't fall apart
before we get there?
Everything ends up
dangling, when you get old.
You'll see.
Hm.
Funny.
(Lisa sighs)
Hi, guys! It's Lisa.
I'm doing a live stream just to
tell you how it's going live.
You'll never guess what.
Someone is trying to kill me.
What are you doing, son of a bitch?
You don't understand the
gravity of the situation.
If you get spot, you dead!
You threw my phone away.
Turn around and go back for it!
No.
You have to do without it.
You're such a prick.
[Alex] I don't give a shit.
And now I guess I have to
talk to you the whole way
to pass the time?
[Alex] You don't have to.
Thanks, Alex.
Alex, I have to go to the bathroom.
Can we have a break?
You have to go to the bathroom now?
Yeah! You want me to pee in your car?
Fine.
We'll have a pee break, but hurry up!
Thank you.
(soft music)
[Reporter] Police reports are coming in
of a man found murdered today.
The victim has been
identified as James Debart,
a driver for the Kasongo family,
who is also suspected of being
an undercover foreign agent.
His murder comes only 24 hours
after the killing of Jacques Fontana,
the accountant of businessman,
Bert Vander Brecht,
who owns diamond and cobalt
mines in the Makhanda region.
The circumstances surrounding
these deaths are still unclear
and authorities are currently
conducting a thorough
investigation to determine
who was responsible.
These events take place
against the backdrop
of General Kasongo's
controversial election,
which has sparked tensions
and protests in Makhanda.
The killings raise serious concerns
about the safety of those
already involved in the election,
as well as potential
witnesses and informants.
Shit.
[Reporter] It is crucial that
the authorities take steps
What have you gotten
yourself into this time, Alex?
[Reporter] We will continue to monitor
the situation closely
Damn.
[Reporter] And keep you
informed of any significant
developments as they happen.
(soft music)
(passing cars whoosh)
Do you even know where we are?
You never seen a map before?
(phone rings)
(phone rings)
Hello.
- Hey.
It's Matt. How are you doing?
Yeah, I'm good.
Now, I got a question to ask you,
and I'm pretty sure I
already know the answer,
but I'm gonna ask it anyway.
That kid you're protecting.
She got any relation to General Kasongo?
Why are you asking me this?
Well, let's just say two
guys connected to Kasongo,
they're now resting in the morgue.
She's his daughter.
(Matt inhales deeply)
Shit.
That's what I thought.
Well, anyway, I'm sure you will be fine.
You are a professional, after all.
I'll make sure nothing happens to her.
Hey! Who are you talking to?
Things getting very serious,
but you should be okay.
I "should be okay"?
All right. Then I...
That should be fine.
Shouldn't worry.
I guess.
But you remember now.
If you need me, I'll be there.
I will handle it.
Okay. You take it easy, man.
Aw, fuck. (Sighs)
(Matt sighs)
(passing cars whoosh)
(car doors slam)
You're not my chauffeur, okay?
As you wish.
When all of this is over, I
will buy you a proper phone.
My phone is enough.
Come on. It's as old as your car.
(Alex sighs)
No GPS. No internet.
I can't be tracked.
Oh!
Smart.
Do you have a girlfriend?
What do you care?
I'm just asking, grumpy old fart!
You threw my phone away, remember?
We have nothing to do but talk.
I can't even listen to my music, so
I can play music.
(upbeat rock music)
Stronger than life
(Lisa snickers)
What is this old shit?
Actually, everything's
old with you, right?
(Lisa chuckles)
I have a girlfriend.
She's dead.
And her name is Tania.
I'm, I'm sorry.
(car starts)
Actually, it's not that bad.
It takes what it takes
but it's not what it seems
I'm bleeding inside but
I'll follow my dreams
And dying is easy
And loving is hard when
your heart and your soul
It's a little creepy here, isn't it?
Don't worry. Just for the night.
[Lisa] At least I can take a bath.
Go ahead. I sleep on the couch.
(Lisa chuckles)
No. (Chuckles)
No. No way you're sleeping on the couch.
Look.
I'm tired.
Look, Mr. Hero.
I'm not used to sharing
my room with strangers.
So, you can go ahead and sleep
in your state of the art car.
Hm?
And I have to keep an eye on you.
No. No way you're sleeping on the couch.
Well,
in that case, I sleep on the bed,
and you sleep on the couch.
Fine!
But if you ever snore, I'll
kick you out of the room.
(scoffs) I would love to see this.
(distant engine hums)
(keys clink)
(Matt groans)
Careful, Mr. Daniels.
Shit.
I must be getting old.
(gun thuds)
(Lisa sighs)
(bed creaks)
Alex, are you sleeping?
No.
[Lisa] Can I ask you something?
Yeah.
Why people are chasing me?
I mean, who's behind this?
Honestly?
I don't care. It's not my problem.
My job is to protect you.
How can you be so indifferent?
It's my life at stake.
Damn it.
Oh, I'm just being realistic.
And the reality is that
if we spend our time
wondering why and who,
we might get killed
before we get the answer.
What can we do, then?
We'll sleep and we hit
the road again tomorrow.
You're really sure of what
you're doing, aren't you?
I've seen a lot of things in my life.
I never underestimate my enemies.
But don't worry, you're in good hands.
Thanks, Alex.
I'm glad you're here.
This is my job.
Go to sleep now.
I'm watching over you.
But remember,
I always have a plan.
Goodnight.
Goodnight.
All I need is you right here
In a cozy little home
I don't need a tango dance floor
Or a rock band playing loud
All I need is the
sound of your heartbeat
And you love to be around
So let's stay here together
And just dance in love
'Cause baby, you're my everything
My heart and my soul
(metal clangs)
(doorbell rings)
(warm music)
(chuckles) Come in.
Relax, Tania. Tonight,
you can enjoy the dinner.
Yeah, um,
it's hard to believe that I'm here,
safe, and that you're protecting me.
You're doing great.
I won't let anything
happen to you. I promise.
Is it a part of the protocol,
or should I worry more about
what's going to happen to me tonight that
getting killed around the corner?
Well, it's against
protocol. I shouldn't do that.
And if you feel uncomfortable,
we can just, uh
Don't worry, Alex.
In fact, I, I hoped it could be possible,
having this dinner with you.
Hm. I know it's unprofessional.
Flirting with my client.
My boss won't like that.
So, is it officially a date?
I have to protect you first.
What are you afraid of, Alex?
My job.
It's unusual.
It's more often bad than good.
It can be dangerous.
That's why I can't afford
sentimental attachment.
Mm.
You've got good taste in wine.
(chuckles) I'm French.
Food, cheese and wine.
And sex?
Sorry. I,
I shouldn't have said that. (Chuckles)
Oh, you're so beautiful when you blush.
Thank you.
(Tania sighs)
When it's all over, I
want to go in a country
with a lot of sun and having a good time.
Yeah.
It's something you can't afford, for now.
Maybe one day.
Maybe.
Tonight, I should get the list
of people who are ready to testify.
You should be soon at the beach.
Thank you, Alex.
But Lewis sent me this new rookie.
His name is Carl.
He's nothing but bullshit.
I know.
A new generation.
I was like that, when I was young.
I'm sure you will teach him right.
Let's raise our glasses to you.
To me?
(glasses clink)
To us.
If anything happened to
you, I couldn't bear it.
I'd be restless.
We can live day by day.
In this job, it's more
often bad than good.
But I choose this life.
(sniffs) Oh!
Forgot the dinner.
[Tania] Don't be afraid.
We can still order pizza.
(Tania chuckles)
(suspenseful music)
You've got to prove yourself.
Lewis doesn't like job done badly.
Well, things are looking
really, really good.
No tracks. Real pros.
That's why I wanted the job.
Look, the snitch we are going to meet
has to be scared off, nothing more.
Take the envelope. "Thank you, goodnight."
No problem. A bullet in
the leg and nothing more.
Discretion.
One misstep can endanger
my client even more.
Who's your client, by the way?
I can help you protecting
her, if you want.
Why do you think it's "her"?
You smell, man. You stink.
Ladies perfume.
Is she pretty?
Is she pretty?
It's not your problem.
Stop asking so many questions.
Fair enough! Fair enough.
You need to relax, once
in a while. (Chuckles)
After all, you've been on the
circuit for a long time, huh?
Hm?
Don't you think you should leave the place
to the new generation, sometimes?
Young trainees aren't
going to teach my job.
Maybe the young trainee has class.
It's not a fashion show, anyway.
Where is your sense of humor?
Hm? Where is your sense of humor?
You think I'm not a cool guy? Okay.
I give you a chance.
I flip the coin.
If you win, show me what you
got with your new generation.
And if I win, you stay in the car.
Deal?
- Okay, deal.
Heads.
(coin clinks)
Yes! (Laughs)
I had a good feeling on this.
I'm off, man.
You've got 10 minutes.
And tell him I sent you.
(suspenseful music continues)
(footsteps clack)
Where is Lapierre?
Do you have something for me?
I want to talk to Lapierre.
Alex sent me. He can't be here.
Come on. Give me the envelope.
I have nothing to give you.
Tell Lapierre that if he
wants the information,
he can come and get it by himself.
(tuts) Don't make things complicated.
Just hand over the envelope and go home.
Fuck you, asshole! I
have nothing to give you.
I'm out of here!
(gun firing)
(person groans)
(footsteps clack)
Hey.
What are you doing?
- There was no envelope.
And this guy came to kill
me, and that includes you.
Hide your fucking gun.
Yeah, well, when a guy
makes a sudden move, I shoot.
It was me or him.
[Alex] Move.
(suspenseful music continues)
(suspenseful music continues)
(suspenseful music continues)
Hey, Carl.
Oh.
Oh, Lapierre. What are you doing here?
You having fun?
What're you talking about?
[Alex] You took the
envelope. Don't lie to me.
You have no idea what
you've got yourself into,
'cause they now know who sold them,
and they'll find the girl
and they'll kill her,
and they'll cut your
throat in the process!
What do you mean, "They"?
If you think I'm
gonna tell you anything,
you're fucking dreaming!
I knew you weren't good for the job.
(fist thuds)
(Carl groans)
You want to feel the death?
You want to feel the death?
[Carl] No, no! (Groans)
(neck cracks)
(dark music)
So, Matt.
You still won't tell me
where Lapierre's heading to?
I'm not gonna tell you a thing.
But he is mad, yes.
Oh, I think you'll have
something to tell me, my friend.
And you will tell me,
before I start cutting your
fingers off, one by one.
Still got nothin' to say, you sombitch.
Don't play games with me, Matt.
(hand slaps)
You're a trained killer.
You know how this works.
I'm retired.
I got no skin in this game.
That may be so, but
you're a valuable asset.
Now, you're gonna tell
me what Alex Lapierre is,
or I'll make sure you
don't see end of the day.
Knock yourself out.
I ain't gonna tell you shit.
We'll see how long you can hold out for.
Before I cut you up.
(phone rings)
Oh, shit. That stupid phone.
Bingo.
(Matt groans)
Lucky I didn't make you too ugly.
Thank you, Matt.
I don't need you anymore.
Your phone gave it away.
(fist thuds)
(Matt groans)
(fist thuds)
(fist thuds)
(Matt spits)
(blood drips)
(birds chirp)
(tense synth music)
Relax.
Enjoy the evening.
I should not be here
with you tonight, here.
Come on. Just let it go.
You're not happy with me tonight?
I am, of course.
- You are? Really?
- Yeah! (Chuckles)
Come on here.
(Tania chuckles)
Come on.
Relax. Come on!
Do you want something
to eat before going home?
Hmm.
Okay. Why not?
Okay.
(door creaks)
(Tania gasps)
(ominous music)
You're dead!
(fist thuds)
(gun clatters)
(both grunt)
(dramatic music)
(fists thud)
(both grunt)

Matt?
Your friend can't talk to you right now,
but I wanted to say hello.
Who are you?
The Grim Reaper.
I heard you were looking for me.
Good thing is, I'm looking for you, too.
There is this girl, though.
Fuck you!
You bring me the girl, you
can have your friend back.
You killed Tania.
Who?
I've killed many people.
It's never personal. It's just a job.
If I killed Tania, it was
her time. C'est la vie.
I'm gonna make you pay.
Yeah, yeah. (Chuckles) Do what you want.
My offer still stands.
(phone clacks)
Who was it?
The one you have to escape.
Okay?
So, you're gonna throw your
phone out the window now,
so they can't track us?
No. This phone is safe.
Nobody can track us.
This guy is a pro.
But we'll find a way.
(patrons chattering)
[Rachel] Here you go.
- Hey.
- Hi, guys.
Hi. Excuse me, where's
the toilet please?
Oh, it's just over there.
- Thank you.
- All right.
Can I get you any drinks or anything?
Yes, please. Coffee and lemonade.
That's a nice suit.
Is that Versace or Hugo Buss or something?
No, it's Franky's.
(patrons snicker)
[Rachel] Not heard of it.
One of those cheap Chinese brands.
Shut the fuck up, Danny.
At least he's got class.
Stronger than life
I will find a world
Oi!
Your girlfriend's hot.
And she's got a set of her lungs on her.
Will you shut the fuck up, Danny?
Excuse me?
You're talking about me?
Hey, cutie.
Wanna try a real man?
I'll buy you a drink.
(hand slaps)
Fuck you!
Who the fuck do you
think you are, bitch?
(fist thuds)
(Danny groans)
(both grunt)
(dramatic music)
Hey!
What the fuck?
(head slams)
(plate shatters)
(Rachel gasps)
(dramatic music continues)
(Danny grunts)
(foot thuds)
(Danny groans)
I dare because I'm a Kasongo.
Shut the fuck up!
(Lisa groans)
I'm gonna get fucking fired!
(birds chirp)
You needed to say your name?
Who cares?
You broke his ass, anyway.
Good job, bodyguard.
(car door slams)
(car door slams)
(birds chirp)
Of course.
A 1982 car.
'99.
I'm surprised it last
that long, actually.
He had some charm, back then.
Yeah! I'm sure it was a real thing.
But now we have to walk, hm?
Poor little princess.
A real knight know
how to spare his horses.
We should pick up the
pace. It's not safe here.
(scoffs) You protect me. It's your job.
You're not gonna be scared
of some highway men, are you?
Do you really think I'm
scared of those amateurs?
No!
I guess not.
Idiot.
I'm looking for a man in a black suit,
accompanied by a young lady.
Who the fuck you are? Her fucking pimp?
Don't start again, you idiot.
I take it that's a yes?
(suspenseful music)
They left a few minutes ago.
Are there anymore motherfuckers
coming here to piss me off today?
Thank you for your corporation.
(gun fires)
(Rachel yelps)
Shit.
(Rachel pants)
(tense music)
Run!
(tense music continues)
(tense music continues)
(tense music continues)
Are we going to be
forgiven for all our sins?
Shut up.
(tense music continues)
I can't take this
anymore. I have side stitch.

Hey!

Stay close behind me.
I'm not a kid anymore.
(tense music continues)
(tense music continues)
Seriously?
Alex.
Alex.
(tense music continues)
Alex.
Alex.

(phone rings)
Yeah, we've got 'em.
Enough playing. Just follow nicely.
(Alex sighs)
Yeah, I understand.
You got this?
Move.
You try anything and I'll
shoot her in the head.
(suspenseful synth music)
(ominous music)
(car door opens)
(car door slams)
(Matt groans)
(trunk door slams)
Ms. Kasongo.
Nice to meet you, finally.
I hope you understand there is
nothing personal about this.
Now you have the girl, let Matt go.
I gave him my word.
Wait.
You're trading me with him?
You son of a bitch.
Sorry, girl.
Just remember my rules.
Get moving.
We both have what we wanted,
but you have to pay for killing Tania.
Why not? Could do with a workout.
(tense music)

Asshole!
You almost shot me!
(mercenary coughs)
Can you believe that shit?
I save her life and she
calls me an asshole.
Next.
(gun fires)
Next time, you can save your own ass.
And Alex, quit fucking
around. Kill that sombitch.
(tense music continues)
(foot thuds)
(Alex grunts)

(Edson gasps and wheezes)
Come on, you fucking pussies!
I'll take you both!
(guns fire rapidly)
[Alex] Are you okay?
(hand slaps)
(Alex groans)
Oh, shit.
Yes. I think so.
[Matt] So I guess this is the end?
Maybe.
Then let's go get a drink.
(warm synth music)
(footsteps thudding)
The general's daughter is safe.
You did a great job, Alex.
It was my job.
Your job?
You risked your life for her.
You stopped Tania's killer.
You did more than your job, my friend.
Still gonna retire?
Yeah.
I need to change my life.
Maybe I can help you with that.
You've been one of my best men
and I know some people who
can help you disappear.
I appreciate that, but
I can do it on my own.
Of course.
You're an independent man.
So, what're you gonna do?
Blow your money in Vegas?
Go fishing?
(Alex sighs)
We'll see.
Day by day.
Good luck with your new life, Alex.
You deserve it.
Thanks, Lewis.
Goodbye, and I'm gonna miss you.

You know why you're here?
It wasn't supposed to go
down like that, man. I swear.
You build the bomb. You
don't get to plead ignorance.
Listen, man! I'm sorry!
No one was supposed to get hurt.
All right. That makes
everything okay then, doesn't it?
Please. I'll tell you
anything you want to know.
Just don't hurt me.
You're damn right you will.
Who triggered the bomb?
I can't tell you that.
If I give you his name, I'm a dead man.
(suspenseful music continues)
You think you have a choice?
You think you have a choice?
Tania is dead because of you! (Spits)
Sorry.
I'm sorry.
His name is Edson.
Edson flipped the switch.
He killed Tania.
Where I can find this Edson?
I don't know, man. I swear!
Well, well.
I guess I have to find him
by myself, but don't worry.
I'll make sure you will
never hurt anyone again.

Hey!
It's Alex, the Frenchie.
What brings you around here?
What can I do for you, Alex?
I need your help to find a guy.
His name is Edson.
You know maybe something about him?
Edson. Why you looking for Edson?
He killed a woman I loved.
Oh, man. I'm sorry.
I didn't know you were in trouble.
I will make him pay for what he did.
Wait a minute.
You know, Edson,
he's connected to a lot
of organized crime people
and he's a trained killer.
You better be ready for
him. Do you understand?
- I have to try.
- Listen.
I run this gym, I train
Mike now, and my kids,
but I still know a few guys,
and they might help us with this situation
with you and Edson.
Okay, so, you might help me, right?
Sure, I can help you. Sure.
But let me ask you one thing.
You still got that left hook on that arm?
The knockout left hook?
You want to see, old
fart? Huh? (Chuckles)
What is this?
A fighter in a suit?
Why don't you try me? Huh?
Yeah, why don't you try me? Huh?
Come on, try me!
- Hey, Mike.
Mike. Mike, Mike, Mike.
- Come on!
Come on, Mike! Mike, come on!
A real dog, huh?
[Mike] Pussy in a suit.
Got a fight coming up, Mike.
Come on, get back to work.
Come on. Let's go.
I call on you, okay?
(speaks foreign language) Alex.
You promise you will help me, right?
I'll help you, Alex.
Come on, let's go. Come on, come on.
Faster, let's go. Come
on, faster with that.
Come on. Come on, Mike.
Come on, Mike. That a boy.
That a boy. Show me
that left hook, come on.
That it. That's it, double up on that.
(gentle piano music)
Thank you.
I could send you love letters
Close to you, it was all better
You're dead!
(ominous music)
[Tania] Breakfast, my love.
Hey, good morning.
Hi.
(gentle music)
For you.
Tania.
We can't keep doing this.
(Tania sighs)
I know, Alex.
But I can't stop my feelings.
And this connection between us is,
is too strong.
I'm supposed to protect you,
not fall in love with you.
It's put everything at risk.
(Tania chuckles)
But I never asked for this,
and I never wanted to
fall in love with you.
And you know that the feelings
doesn't always follow the rules, my love.
We have to be rational, Tania.
My duty is to protect you.
I'm afraid I can't be
focused on my mission.
I understand the risks, Alex.
But
living a life without you is just,
I just can't.
I can't lose you, Tania.
I will do anything to protect you.
(chuckles) Yeah.
Then do what it takes,
my love, to protect me.
Do everything.
But I cannot lose you.
(Tania chuckles)
(Tania chuckles)
I love you.
(warm music)
(Tania chuckles)
(Alex sighs)
(door squeaks)
(door closes)
(footsteps approach)
Alex, my friend. It's been too long.
What do you want, Lewis?
I need you to do one more job for me.
I'm not the one you think I am
What?
You know I'm done with this life.
I know, but this is different.
It's an old friend of
mine. General Kasongo.
He's recently become the
president of his nation
and his daughter is in Europe.
He's received threats and
he wants her protected.
Why he can't just hire a bodyguard?
Because, my friend, you're the best.
That's why they call you the Shepherd.
And he specifically requested you.
What's the catch?
No catch.
Just protect the girl, keep her safe,
and bring her home to her father.
(Alex sighs)
[Alex] I have his name.
I have to find him.
Don't make this personal.
Sometimes you win and sometimes you lose.
That's the risk we all
take to do this job.
It wasn't your fault.
(Lewis sighs)
This is not your contract.
You're a good man, Alex.
Let it go.
Let it go?
"Let it go."
He killed my girlfriend.
Of course it's personal!
(Lewis sighs)
Look, I know you got a hard head,
and you don't want to
hear what I have to say.
But if you help me with this mission,
I'll help you get your guy.
Deal?
All right.
I will do it.
But this is really my last job.
Of course it is.
You leave tomorrow.
If you can fix my broken heart
(suspenseful synth music)
Did you bring me what I asked for?
It's all there.
Accounts, names, offshore
account numbers. Everything.
Good.
And now you have a decision to make.
[Jacques] A, a decision?
I don't understand.
It's you, or your family.
Come on.
I've done everything you asked me.
I, I, I did the part of the deal.
Do you think your boss
will tolerate being let down?
My, my boss doesn't have to know.
Come on, man. You know him.
He's, he's a guy and
I don't need your justification.
My job is to kill people like you.
No, no, no, no. No, I
won't make any trouble.
No, I swear. No, please.
But you already have, my friend.
And you know what that means?
No, no, no, no.
No, no, no!
(gun firing)
It's something that
will please my clients
(dark music)
(ominous music)
You're dead!
(gentle music)
(Tania chuckles)
(ominous music)
You're dead.
You're dead.
Dead. Dead.
(Alex pants)
(dark music)
(Alex pants)
(water splashes)
(muffled door closes)
(muffled door closes)
(suspenseful synth music)
You almost got shot, June.
Well, lock your door properly.
Someone could break in.
What are you doing here?
Yeah. Nice to see you, too.
Alex, look. I heard that you
were leaving town for Europe.
Just wanted to say goodbye.
Yeah?
Yeah.
You want to see goodbye
to my money, right?
Alex.
Alex.
Alex.
Always suspicious.
But no.
I came to give you some advice.
Go ahead.
Do not mess things up.
Why would I?
Well, I know you're going
to want to take revenge.
I know you.
It's not your problem.
Because you know that if
you don't deal with this,
it's gonna haunt you for
the rest of your life.
And who knows how many other people
will be involved in this vendetta.
It's not your fucking business.
Get the fuck outta here.
Okay, I know that you still blame me,
but Tania meant a lot
to me too, all right?
Okay, look.
It's been difficult with
Karen and she kicked me out.
So, I thought maybe I could
stay here, and uh, you know,
take care of your place while you're gone?
(Alex chuckles)
This is it. I knew it would happen.
Okay, Alex, please.
It would be just a couple of nights.
I'd be gone before you're back. I promise.
It was nice to see you, June.
Now,
get you a motel, and you have to go.
All right.
Thanks anyway.
And, uh,
this asshole is definitely not
someone to be taken lightly.
I'll be careful.
Don't call me back.
[June] All right!
Bye, Alex.
(Alex sighs)
(door slams)
(gentle music)
(suspenseful synth music)
(brakes squeak)
Told you I would bring her back.
You owe me a drink.
(car door closes)
[Alex] I hope you
took great care of her.
Maybe a bump or two and a
few scratches here and there,
but other than that, she
is in mint condition.
Oh, the uh, the engine?
Been making some weird noises.
Might wanna take a look at that.
I'm gonna kill you.
Huh?
(Alex laughs) I missed you, man.
What the fuck are you
doing in this shit hole?
Work or pleasure?
I have to do this last job,
to protect the daughter
of an African General.
Wow. You have changed since
the days we worked together.
What are you, some kind
of fucking bodyguard now?
No, it's for Lewis.
Hold up.
So you're gonna protect some
kid with more money than you?
He promised me to help me
to find the killer of Tania.
You do realize that
by killing the killer,
that ain't gonna decrease
the number of killers in the world.
I'll have to kill two of them, then.
I believe you will.
Anyhow, what say you
and me go get a drink,
before this kid arrives?
Okay, thanks, but no,
I have to stay sober.
I cannot screw up this job.
Well, okay then.
You be careful now.
These rich kids, they can be
more trouble than you think.
Adios, amigo.
I'm off to find me some
liquor and then a lady.
(Alex sighs)
I hate when he's right.
(car door opens)
(suspenseful synth music)
(car door opens)
(car door slams)
Well, well. Look who we have here.
Who are you? (Groans and pants)
What do you want?
You know what I want.
You helped that scum Kasongo get elected.
And now you're gonna pay for it.
What?
I didn't do anything wrong.
I was just doing my job.
Your job? You mean being a
puppet for the corrupt regime?
Don't bullshit me, Jim. I know everything.
Okay, fine. Fine.
What do you want from me?
I want to know where
Kasongo's daughter is hiding.
I need to eliminate her, too.
No.
I don't know where she is.
I swear.
Don't fucking lie to me, Jim!
You're her damn chauffeur.
You know where she goes, who she sees.
(Jim pants)
I'm telling the truth!
I don't know where she is!
I don't know anything!
Last chance, Jim. Don't
make me do this the hard way.
Okay.
Okay, okay.
Stop, stop. (Pants)
I'll tell you everything. (Pants)
But first, you have to
promise me something.
What?
Don't hurt her.
She's innocent.
She doesn't deserve this.
Okay, I promise. But you
better not be lying to me.
No.
She's under protection.
It's that guy.
Lapierre.
Alex Lapierre.
He's supposed to take her to the UK,
and then she's gonna be
taken care of by MI6.
It's all I know!
Thanks, Jim. You've been very helpful.
Can I ask you something?
What?
Why do you do this?
I mean, killing people. What's the point?
What's the point?
What's the fucking point?
You're kidding me, right?
- No, I'm serious!
Tell me!
You're a smart guy, Jim.
You know this life is about power.
Power to decide your own destiny.
Power to make others do what you want.
Power to decide who lives and who dies.
(Jim chuckles)
You're sick.
(Jim pants)
Maybe.
(gun firing)
(car door opens)
(distant siren wails)

So, it's you, the Shepherd?
[Alex] My name is Alex.
Okay. Whatever.
(engine revs)
(Lisa sighs)
Whoa, take it easy! It's real leather.
Aww!
I almost smash your junk into pieces.
Look, kid. I'm here
to protect you, okay?
You follow my rules.
And what are your rules?
I always have a plan. No
discussion, no seduction.
Ew!
"No seduction"?
You could be my dad. It's, it's so gross!
(Lisa sighs)
It's gonna be a long drive.
(car door slams)
(car starts)
(engine revs)
(keyboard clacks)
Matt Daniels.
I'm coming to get you.
(dark synth music)
Are you sure your car won't fall apart
before we get there?
Everything ends up
dangling, when you get old.
You'll see.
Hm.
Funny.
(Lisa sighs)
Hi, guys! It's Lisa.
I'm doing a live stream just to
tell you how it's going live.
You'll never guess what.
Someone is trying to kill me.
What are you doing, son of a bitch?
You don't understand the
gravity of the situation.
If you get spot, you dead!
You threw my phone away.
Turn around and go back for it!
No.
You have to do without it.
You're such a prick.
[Alex] I don't give a shit.
And now I guess I have to
talk to you the whole way
to pass the time?
[Alex] You don't have to.
Thanks, Alex.
Alex, I have to go to the bathroom.
Can we have a break?
You have to go to the bathroom now?
Yeah! You want me to pee in your car?
Fine.
We'll have a pee break, but hurry up!
Thank you.
(soft music)
[Reporter] Police reports are coming in
of a man found murdered today.
The victim has been
identified as James Debart,
a driver for the Kasongo family,
who is also suspected of being
an undercover foreign agent.
His murder comes only 24 hours
after the killing of Jacques Fontana,
the accountant of businessman,
Bert Vander Brecht,
who owns diamond and cobalt
mines in the Makhanda region.
The circumstances surrounding
these deaths are still unclear
and authorities are currently
conducting a thorough
investigation to determine
who was responsible.
These events take place
against the backdrop
of General Kasongo's
controversial election,
which has sparked tensions
and protests in Makhanda.
The killings raise serious concerns
about the safety of those
already involved in the election,
as well as potential
witnesses and informants.
Shit.
[Reporter] It is crucial that
the authorities take steps
What have you gotten
yourself into this time, Alex?
[Reporter] We will continue to monitor
the situation closely
Damn.
[Reporter] And keep you
informed of any significant
developments as they happen.
(soft music)
(passing cars whoosh)
Do you even know where we are?
You never seen a map before?
(phone rings)
(phone rings)
Hello.
- Hey.
It's Matt. How are you doing?
Yeah, I'm good.
Now, I got a question to ask you,
and I'm pretty sure I
already know the answer,
but I'm gonna ask it anyway.
That kid you're protecting.
She got any relation to General Kasongo?
Why are you asking me this?
Well, let's just say two
guys connected to Kasongo,
they're now resting in the morgue.
She's his daughter.
(Matt inhales deeply)
Shit.
That's what I thought.
Well, anyway, I'm sure you will be fine.
You are a professional, after all.
I'll make sure nothing happens to her.
Hey! Who are you talking to?
Things getting very serious,
but you should be okay.
I "should be okay"?
All right. Then I...
That should be fine.
Shouldn't worry.
I guess.
But you remember now.
If you need me, I'll be there.
I will handle it.
Okay. You take it easy, man.
Aw, fuck. (Sighs)
(Matt sighs)
(passing cars whoosh)
(car doors slam)
You're not my chauffeur, okay?
As you wish.
When all of this is over, I
will buy you a proper phone.
My phone is enough.
Come on. It's as old as your car.
(Alex sighs)
No GPS. No internet.
I can't be tracked.
Oh!
Smart.
Do you have a girlfriend?
What do you care?
I'm just asking, grumpy old fart!
You threw my phone away, remember?
We have nothing to do but talk.
I can't even listen to my music, so
I can play music.
(upbeat rock music)
Stronger than life
(Lisa snickers)
What is this old shit?
Actually, everything's
old with you, right?
(Lisa chuckles)
I have a girlfriend.
She's dead.
And her name is Tania.
I'm, I'm sorry.
(car starts)
Actually, it's not that bad.
It takes what it takes
but it's not what it seems
I'm bleeding inside but
I'll follow my dreams
And dying is easy
And loving is hard when
your heart and your soul
It's a little creepy here, isn't it?
Don't worry. Just for the night.
[Lisa] At least I can take a bath.
Go ahead. I sleep on the couch.
(Lisa chuckles)
No. (Chuckles)
No. No way you're sleeping on the couch.
Look.
I'm tired.
Look, Mr. Hero.
I'm not used to sharing
my room with strangers.
So, you can go ahead and sleep
in your state of the art car.
Hm?
And I have to keep an eye on you.
No. No way you're sleeping on the couch.
Well,
in that case, I sleep on the bed,
and you sleep on the couch.
Fine!
But if you ever snore, I'll
kick you out of the room.
(scoffs) I would love to see this.
(distant engine hums)
(keys clink)
(Matt groans)
Careful, Mr. Daniels.
Shit.
I must be getting old.
(gun thuds)
(Lisa sighs)
(bed creaks)
Alex, are you sleeping?
No.
[Lisa] Can I ask you something?
Yeah.
Why people are chasing me?
I mean, who's behind this?
Honestly?
I don't care. It's not my problem.
My job is to protect you.
How can you be so indifferent?
It's my life at stake.
Damn it.
Oh, I'm just being realistic.
And the reality is that
if we spend our time
wondering why and who,
we might get killed
before we get the answer.
What can we do, then?
We'll sleep and we hit
the road again tomorrow.
You're really sure of what
you're doing, aren't you?
I've seen a lot of things in my life.
I never underestimate my enemies.
But don't worry, you're in good hands.
Thanks, Alex.
I'm glad you're here.
This is my job.
Go to sleep now.
I'm watching over you.
But remember,
I always have a plan.
Goodnight.
Goodnight.
All I need is you right here
In a cozy little home
I don't need a tango dance floor
Or a rock band playing loud
All I need is the
sound of your heartbeat
And you love to be around
So let's stay here together
And just dance in love
'Cause baby, you're my everything
My heart and my soul
(metal clangs)
(doorbell rings)
(warm music)
(chuckles) Come in.
Relax, Tania. Tonight,
you can enjoy the dinner.
Yeah, um,
it's hard to believe that I'm here,
safe, and that you're protecting me.
You're doing great.
I won't let anything
happen to you. I promise.
Is it a part of the protocol,
or should I worry more about
what's going to happen to me tonight that
getting killed around the corner?
Well, it's against
protocol. I shouldn't do that.
And if you feel uncomfortable,
we can just, uh
Don't worry, Alex.
In fact, I, I hoped it could be possible,
having this dinner with you.
Hm. I know it's unprofessional.
Flirting with my client.
My boss won't like that.
So, is it officially a date?
I have to protect you first.
What are you afraid of, Alex?
My job.
It's unusual.
It's more often bad than good.
It can be dangerous.
That's why I can't afford
sentimental attachment.
Mm.
You've got good taste in wine.
(chuckles) I'm French.
Food, cheese and wine.
And sex?
Sorry. I,
I shouldn't have said that. (Chuckles)
Oh, you're so beautiful when you blush.
Thank you.
(Tania sighs)
When it's all over, I
want to go in a country
with a lot of sun and having a good time.
Yeah.
It's something you can't afford, for now.
Maybe one day.
Maybe.
Tonight, I should get the list
of people who are ready to testify.
You should be soon at the beach.
Thank you, Alex.
But Lewis sent me this new rookie.
His name is Carl.
He's nothing but bullshit.
I know.
A new generation.
I was like that, when I was young.
I'm sure you will teach him right.
Let's raise our glasses to you.
To me?
(glasses clink)
To us.
If anything happened to
you, I couldn't bear it.
I'd be restless.
We can live day by day.
In this job, it's more
often bad than good.
But I choose this life.
(sniffs) Oh!
Forgot the dinner.
[Tania] Don't be afraid.
We can still order pizza.
(Tania chuckles)
(suspenseful music)
You've got to prove yourself.
Lewis doesn't like job done badly.
Well, things are looking
really, really good.
No tracks. Real pros.
That's why I wanted the job.
Look, the snitch we are going to meet
has to be scared off, nothing more.
Take the envelope. "Thank you, goodnight."
No problem. A bullet in
the leg and nothing more.
Discretion.
One misstep can endanger
my client even more.
Who's your client, by the way?
I can help you protecting
her, if you want.
Why do you think it's "her"?
You smell, man. You stink.
Ladies perfume.
Is she pretty?
Is she pretty?
It's not your problem.
Stop asking so many questions.
Fair enough! Fair enough.
You need to relax, once
in a while. (Chuckles)
After all, you've been on the
circuit for a long time, huh?
Hm?
Don't you think you should leave the place
to the new generation, sometimes?
Young trainees aren't
going to teach my job.
Maybe the young trainee has class.
It's not a fashion show, anyway.
Where is your sense of humor?
Hm? Where is your sense of humor?
You think I'm not a cool guy? Okay.
I give you a chance.
I flip the coin.
If you win, show me what you
got with your new generation.
And if I win, you stay in the car.
Deal?
- Okay, deal.
Heads.
(coin clinks)
Yes! (Laughs)
I had a good feeling on this.
I'm off, man.
You've got 10 minutes.
And tell him I sent you.
(suspenseful music continues)
(footsteps clack)
Where is Lapierre?
Do you have something for me?
I want to talk to Lapierre.
Alex sent me. He can't be here.
Come on. Give me the envelope.
I have nothing to give you.
Tell Lapierre that if he
wants the information,
he can come and get it by himself.
(tuts) Don't make things complicated.
Just hand over the envelope and go home.
Fuck you, asshole! I
have nothing to give you.
I'm out of here!
(gun firing)
(person groans)
(footsteps clack)
Hey.
What are you doing?
- There was no envelope.
And this guy came to kill
me, and that includes you.
Hide your fucking gun.
Yeah, well, when a guy
makes a sudden move, I shoot.
It was me or him.
[Alex] Move.
(suspenseful music continues)
(suspenseful music continues)
(suspenseful music continues)
Hey, Carl.
Oh.
Oh, Lapierre. What are you doing here?
You having fun?
What're you talking about?
[Alex] You took the
envelope. Don't lie to me.
You have no idea what
you've got yourself into,
'cause they now know who sold them,
and they'll find the girl
and they'll kill her,
and they'll cut your
throat in the process!
What do you mean, "They"?
If you think I'm
gonna tell you anything,
you're fucking dreaming!
I knew you weren't good for the job.
(fist thuds)
(Carl groans)
You want to feel the death?
You want to feel the death?
[Carl] No, no! (Groans)
(neck cracks)
(dark music)
So, Matt.
You still won't tell me
where Lapierre's heading to?
I'm not gonna tell you a thing.
But he is mad, yes.
Oh, I think you'll have
something to tell me, my friend.
And you will tell me,
before I start cutting your
fingers off, one by one.
Still got nothin' to say, you sombitch.
Don't play games with me, Matt.
(hand slaps)
You're a trained killer.
You know how this works.
I'm retired.
I got no skin in this game.
That may be so, but
you're a valuable asset.
Now, you're gonna tell
me what Alex Lapierre is,
or I'll make sure you
don't see end of the day.
Knock yourself out.
I ain't gonna tell you shit.
We'll see how long you can hold out for.
Before I cut you up.
(phone rings)
Oh, shit. That stupid phone.
Bingo.
(Matt groans)
Lucky I didn't make you too ugly.
Thank you, Matt.
I don't need you anymore.
Your phone gave it away.
(fist thuds)
(Matt groans)
(fist thuds)
(fist thuds)
(Matt spits)
(blood drips)
(birds chirp)
(tense synth music)
Relax.
Enjoy the evening.
I should not be here
with you tonight, here.
Come on. Just let it go.
You're not happy with me tonight?
I am, of course.
- You are? Really?
- Yeah! (Chuckles)
Come on here.
(Tania chuckles)
Come on.
Relax. Come on!
Do you want something
to eat before going home?
Hmm.
Okay. Why not?
Okay.
(door creaks)
(Tania gasps)
(ominous music)
You're dead!
(fist thuds)
(gun clatters)
(both grunt)
(dramatic music)
(fists thud)
(both grunt)
(foot thuds)
(both grunt)
(dramatic music continues)
(fist thuds)
(attacker pants)
(explosion booming)
(Alex groans)
(Alex pants)
(Alex grunts)
(Alex pants)
(Alex groans)
(Alex pants)
(eerie ambient music)
(phone rings)
(suspenseful music)
Matt?
Your friend can't talk to you right now,
but I wanted to say hello.
Who are you?
The Grim Reaper.
I heard you were looking for me.
Good thing is, I'm looking for you, too.
There is this girl, though.
Fuck you!
You bring me the girl, you
can have your friend back.
You killed Tania.
Who?
I've killed many people.
It's never personal. It's just a job.
If I killed Tania, it was
her time. C'est la vie.
I'm gonna make you pay.
Yeah, yeah. (Chuckles) Do what you want.
My offer still stands.
(phone clacks)
Who was it?
The one you have to escape.
Okay?
So, you're gonna throw your
phone out the window now,
so they can't track us?
No. This phone is safe.
Nobody can track us.
This guy is a pro.
But we'll find a way.
(patrons chattering)
[Rachel] Here you go.
- Hey.
- Hi, guys.
Hi. Excuse me, where's
the toilet please?
Oh, it's just over there.
- Thank you.
- All right.
Can I get you any drinks or anything?
Yes, please. Coffee and lemonade.
That's a nice suit.
Is that Versace or Hugo Buss or something?
No, it's Franky's.
(patrons snicker)
[Rachel] Not heard of it.
One of those cheap Chinese brands.
Shut the fuck up, Danny.
At least he's got class.
Stronger than life
I will find a world
Oi!
Your girlfriend's hot.
And she's got a set of her lungs on her.
Will you shut the fuck up, Danny?
Excuse me?
You're talking about me?
Hey, cutie.
Wanna try a real man?
I'll buy you a drink.
(hand slaps)
Fuck you!
Who the fuck do you
think you are, bitch?
(fist thuds)
(Danny groans)
(both grunt)
(dramatic music)
Hey!
What the fuck?
(head slams)
(plate shatters)
(Rachel gasps)
(dramatic music continues)
(Danny grunts)
(foot thuds)
(Danny groans)
I dare because I'm a Kasongo.
Shut the fuck up!
(Lisa groans)
I'm gonna get fucking fired!
(birds chirp)
You needed to say your name?
Who cares?
You broke his ass, anyway.
Good job, bodyguard.
(car door slams)
(car door slams)
(birds chirp)
Of course.
A 1982 car.
'99.
I'm surprised it last
that long, actually.
He had some charm, back then.
Yeah! I'm sure it was a real thing.
But now we have to walk, hm?
Poor little princess.
A real knight know
how to spare his horses.
We should pick up the
pace. It's not safe here.
(scoffs) You protect me. It's your job.
You're not gonna be scared
of some highway men, are you?
Do you really think I'm
scared of those amateurs?
No!
I guess not.
Idiot.
I'm looking for a man in a black suit,
accompanied by a young lady.
Who the fuck you are? Her fucking pimp?
Don't start again, you idiot.
I take it that's a yes?
(suspenseful music)
They left a few minutes ago.
Are there anymore motherfuckers
coming here to piss me off today?
Thank you for your corporation.
(gun fires)
(Rachel yelps)
Shit.
(Rachel pants)
(tense music)
Run!
(tense music continues)
(tense music continues)
(tense music continues)
Are we going to be
forgiven for all our sins?
Shut up.
(tense music continues)
I can't take this
anymore. I have side stitch.
(tense music continues)
Hey!
(tense music continues)
(hitman grunts)
(gun fires)
(hitman groans)
(fist thuds)
(foot thuds)
(tense music continues)
Really?
Ow, ow, ow, ow.
Ow.
(birds chirp)
(tense music continues)
Stay close behind me.
I'm not a kid anymore.
(tense music continues)
(tense music continues)
Seriously?
Alex.
Alex.
(tense music continues)
Alex.
Alex.
Alex!
(birds chirp)
(tense music continues)
Quiet.
Shit.
(tense music continues)
(tense music continues)
(birds chirp)
(tense music continues)
(twig snaps)
Alex.
(gun cocks)
Ah-ah.
(tense music continues)
(tense music continues)
(tense music continues)
(hand thuds)
(gun fires)
(Lisa grunts)
Leave the bag.
You will regret it.
Don't move.
(gun cocks)
Drop your weapon.
Ah.
(gun clacks)
(suspenseful music)
(phone rings)
(phone rings)
(phone rings)
Yeah, we've got 'em.
Enough playing. Just follow nicely.
(Alex sighs)
Yeah, I understand.
You got this?
Move.
You try anything and I'll
shoot her in the head.
(suspenseful synth music)
(ominous music)
(car door opens)
(car door slams)
(Matt groans)
(trunk door slams)
Ms. Kasongo.
Nice to meet you, finally.
I hope you understand there is
nothing personal about this.
Now you have the girl, let Matt go.
I gave him my word.
Wait.
You're trading me with him?
You son of a bitch.
Sorry, girl.
Just remember my rules.
Get moving.
We both have what we wanted,
but you have to pay for killing Tania.
Why not? Could do with a workout.
(tense music)
(foot thuds)
(Edson groans)
(fists thud)
(Edson grunts)
I was expecting more from you.
(Alex pants)
(Alex grunts)
(tense music continues)
(fist thuds)
(Alex grunts)
(foot thuds)
(Alex groans)
(fists thud)
(foot thuds)
(Alex groans)
(fist thuds)
Don't take another step, motherfucker.
(tense music)
(fist thuds)
(mercenary groans)
(gun fires)
Asshole!
You almost shot me!
(mercenary coughs)
Can you believe that shit?
I save her life and she
calls me an asshole.
Next.
(gun fires)
Next time, you can save your own ass.
And Alex, quit fucking
around. Kill that sombitch.
(tense music continues)
(foot thuds)
(Alex grunts)
(foot thuds)
(Alex grunts)
(fist thuds)
(Edson gasps and wheezes)
Come on, you fucking pussies!
I'll take you both!
(guns fire rapidly)
[Alex] Are you okay?
(hand slaps)
(Alex groans)
Oh, shit.
Yes. I think so.
[Matt] So I guess this is the end?
Maybe.
Then let's go get a drink.
(warm synth music)
(footsteps thudding)
The general's daughter is safe.
You did a great job, Alex.
It was my job.
Your job?
You risked your life for her.
You stopped Tania's killer.
You did more than your job, my friend.
Still gonna retire?
Yeah.
I need to change my life.
Maybe I can help you with that.
You've been one of my best men
and I know some people who
can help you disappear.
I appreciate that, but
I can do it on my own.
Of course.
You're an independent man.
So, what're you gonna do?
Blow your money in Vegas?
Go fishing?
(Alex sighs)
We'll see.
Day by day.
Good luck with your new life, Alex.
You deserve it.
Thanks, Lewis.
Goodbye, and I'm gonna miss you.
