The Art of War III: Retribution (2009) Movie Script

Sun Tzu was one of the first
to discuss...
...that you must have
superior strength to win in battle.
Strength of mind, strength of will,
strength of body.
The more you bleed in training,
the less chance of dying in combat.
Your body is the only weapon
that can mold to your own design...
...and therefore, must be treated
as an instrument of combat.
You must always be prepared...
...because often the enemy
is unknown and unforeseen.
These teachings have become known
as The Art of War.
I'm sorry, sir. You can't
They're waiting inside, Mr. Zimmer.
In today's world, the art of war
is an ever-evolving entity.
One has to adapt in order
to protect the interests of the state.
Rules cannot be as restrained.
Moral judgments
must be deferred for now.
Gentlemen, Mr. Zimmer.
I know you have a flight back to
Washington, so Iet's make this brief.
Mr. Zimmer,
I hardly need to remind you...
...my people on the hill
require maximum disruption...
-...between the two parties involved.
-I am assured that will be the outcome.
The true art of war is deception.
You could be sure that behind every
assassin's bullet throughout history...
...stands a government
hungry for power.
A government not afraid to sacrifice
the lives of innocent civilians.
Samad, son of Safah...
...today you will be in paradise.
Pardon me.
We must exact punishment...
...for those who supplied weapons
to our enemies.
Death sends a message.
Samad, son of Safah...
...today you will be in paradise.
Go.
Go.
If war is truly an art...
...then the canvas must reflect the
ugly reality of the deaths caused by it.
-What of the others, Makeen?
-They're how we show our pain.
Death sends a message.
What are you staring at, buddy?
Back to your airplane, Mr. Zimmer?
Yes, the deal is done.
Jason, fire it up. It's about to get hot.
Assassination is a necessary evil.
One man must die
so that many will live.
Out of nowhere. Out of nowhere.
There's some smoke coming
from the car. There's smoke.
Get out of there.
You wanna kill?
Not on American soil.
Jesus, Shaw,
what about the fucking code?
Relax, the job's done.
Are you okay?
I need the paramedics.
Code 3, Fifth and Main, now.
Hey, it's gonna be all right, man.
It's gonna be all right. Look here.
You know who did this to you?
You see him?
Hey, hey, come on, come on.
Hey, Iook here. I'II take a Iook.
Let me take Iook.
It's gonna be all right.
Jesus.
Move a fucking finger
and you're dead.
Today you will be in paradise.
-Stay here, J. Let me handle this.
-No, I'm coming with you.
No, it's better if I do this alone.
-Why?
-Because I said so.
We're a team.
If you're gonna take heat, so am I.
Not this time.
-You gotta trust me on this one.
-Yeah.
Stay here.
I'm gonna take the heat on this one.
Come in.
I'm not happy, Shaw.
What the hell happened?
What's the problem?
Is this about the arms dealer?
The heat is coming down
on this one, Shaw.
We don't Iike when that happens.
You know that.
-Yeah, I know.
-You're a means to an end...
...and an end
to whoever you're traced back to.
-You feel me, Shaw?
-Yeah, I know the drill.
You want me to take out the trash,
just don't want me to see you collect it.
We wanted the trash removed...
...not incinerated in the middle
of downtown Los Angeles.
Islamic extremist?
I stopped the terrorist attack.
You need to start reading the articles
and stop Iooking at pictures, Gaines.
Put you on this guy,
and 24 hours Iater he's toast.
That ain't how we operate.
It's dangerous for everyone,
even you.
I worked for the past
three secretary generals...
...and I never got questioned.
It was all for the best interest
of everyone involved.
Fighting fire with fire
is the only method.
Don't Iecture me, Shaw.
We dictate
what the hell your purpose is.
No more front-page theatrics,
you got it?
Oh, yeah, I got it. Anything else?
Yes.
There's a meeting in South Korea
tomorrow night.
The only players we've identified
so far are Kim and Jung.
Jung's a North Korean operative...
...and from what we can gather,
Kim is a facilitator for the Russians.
-Facilitator of what?
-Jung's after an operational nuke.
There's a U.N. summit in Seoul
in three days.
Radicals from the North
wanna detonate it during the summit.
-Why?
-Well, there's been talk...
...of reunification
between North and South.
Obviously, these are people
who don't wanna see that happen.
-You want them taken out?
-It's a preliminary meeting.
Our intel indicates the exchange
won't take place until Iater.
That gives us a chance
to identify everyone involved...
...including the Russian seller.
-And then what?
-Then we remove the threat.
Everything you need to know
is inside that folder.
We've already got a secure building
fully equipped in downtown Seoul...
...for you to use
as a base of operations.
I'II be there prior to the summit.
Contact me after you get the intel.
There's a plane waiting for you
and your team at Shannon Field.
Remember, Shaw.
Do nothing until we identify
the players and recover the prize.
I mean it.
Shaw.
Good Iuck.
Luck has nothing to do with it.
-Let's go.
-How'd it go?
-It went.
-Was he pissed?
Not too bad. How's your Korean?
We're taking a Iittle trip.
And, J. Lo, don't get too excited
about going into action.
This job is not what you expect.
Everything else in Iife, you fall,
you get a chance to get up.
You fall here, you fail. You're dead.
-You understand?
-I understand.
-I am not gonna Iet you down.
-I know you're not. Come on.
The key to success in battle
is knowing the enemy...
...and the enemy's plans.
A well-informed warrior
is a victorious one.
Come on, come on, come on.
Where are you?
Two is on sight.
Shaw, where's your boy Jason?
He at the safe house
getting intel on the summit.
I thought he'd be coming
into the field tonight.
Yeah, what's the deal
with that, Shaw?
No, he's still too green.
He don't got this killer instinct yet.
Kid's gonna be heartbroken.
The kid's gonna stay alive.
I decide when he's ready.
Yes, sir.
Look, shut the fuck up
before I have to kill both of y'all.
Roger that.
AII right, Iet's get chilly.
Looks Iike our party's arriving.
AII right, I got a visual.
This is what we waiting on. Let's go.
That's more Iike it.
Two has repositioned.
Are we on visual yet?
One is in position.
Are you getting the feed?
Okay, everybody.
This is what we've been waiting for.
Looks Iike the party's
getting started.
Our middle man has just showed up.
One, give me a visual on who's talking
so I can Iink voice transmission.
Three, you getting anything?
-Should I adjust?
-Affirmative. Adjust, adjust.
Wait a minute, there's--
There's a woman with the sellers.
Make sure we get an ID on her.
Come on, come on, come on.
Things are going south.
Getting this, Three?
Something about being set up.
I can't get a good translation
with the signal.
You've gotta hold that thing still.
You are fucking killing me here.
Come on.
One, I got a visual,
but audio ain't clicking.
The best thing I can send Jason
is a facial scan.
Well, how long will that take?
If you hold the visual the way it is,
it should take about 20 minutes.
This ain't gonna take 20 minutes...
...and you know the Russians
are a no-show.
Doing the best that I can.
It would help if I had a clear signal.
Two, you taking a break?
I need a directional mic.
One, repeat. What's going on?
Two, do you have a good copy?
Two, do you have a good copy?
Man, we are about to Iose any chance
we have of Iocating that item.
The fuck we are.
Two's down.
Head for the west gate.
West gate, Iet's go.
Get up, get up, get up.
Let's go, Iet's go, Iet's go. Come on.
Come on, come on, come on.
Let's go, Iet's go, Iet's go.
-Come on. Come on, Shaw.
-Let's go.
Move it.
Come on.
Let's go, we gotta get out of here.
Look, whoever you are, just sit back,
relax and we can get you fixed up.
I'm taking you somewhere safe
right now.
Oh, my God.
I need a hospital.
The bullet just grazed you.
You're gonna be all right.
Soon as I can get you some help.
Sometimes in battle, there is loss.
It is inevitable.
The true enemy cannot always
be seen in the fog of war.
It is how you deal with that loss
that defines a true warrior.
J, open the door, we're here.
What happened?
Shaw, what happened?
Shaw, who is this?
Lay back.
Lay back.
What's your name?
Sun Yi.
Shaw, I'm freaking the fuck out here.
What is going on?
I didn't get a clear feed.
Where are Bates and Johnson?
Give me 20 cc's of morphine.
Can you hear me, Sun Yi?
Look, you've been shot. It probably
hurt Iike a bitch, but you ain't dying.
So I need some information
from you.
And I got zero tolerance for bullshit.
Do you understand?
Do you understand me?
What happened back there?
Where's the nukes?
Who are you?
Are you the police?
I need the police.
Yeah, I'm the fucking police.
What happened?
No, no.
You are not police.
I want the police. You call them now.
You call them now.
Pop her.
I don't understand what that means.
Do you want me to hit her
or inject this? I'm confused.
J, the needle, now. Pop her.
-You call. No.
-Okay.
You call them now.
Okay, I'm gonna need
some answers now.
Why the Fuck have I just knocked out
this woman...
-...and what the fuck is going on?
-The Russians never showed up.
Here's our chance to find out whether
the exchange is still going down.
Okay, so we're fucked.
Johnson's dead.
Help me get the body out the van.
-What about Bates?
-Same.
-Fuck.
-Shit went bad, Iike I said. Real bad.
Bad. Bad, yeah,
that's the understatement of the year.
Little help.
What are we supposed
to do with him?
Best thing right now
is Iay him out for a few days...
...get Gaines to help us
get the body back to the States.
What about the van?
Wipe it down.
Breaking news.
Police suspect a black American in the
murder of a prominent businessman.
Footage from security cameras
should be made available to us shortly.
KBT News.
Operations, get me Mike Gaines
on a secure Iine.
-Gaines.
-Gaines, what happened last night?
I mean, I'm hardly here five minutes
and it's all over the international news.
-Was this the work of our man?
-Yes, ma'am.
I'm still waiting to hear from him.
I know things went bad,
I'm just not sure yet how bad.
How do you intend to clear this up?
You do realize
we have the summit tomorrow.
And if word of our involvement
gets out...
...we will have Iost all credibility.
I'm talking deep shit, here.
This man may be becoming
a Iiability.
I realize that...
...but for now he's the only one
who can give us answers.
The current intel I have is that
the North has a team in play.
Does our--? No.
Does your operative have this intel?
No, ma'am.
I was going to tell him
as soon as he checks in.
Well, I don't need to tell you
that if this man is taken alive...
...we will all go down for this.
Understood, ma'am.
Hold on, that may be him.
Let me check back with you
after I get more info.
You make sure that you do.
-Yeah.
-It went bad.
No shit.
I just got chewed a new asshole
by the secretary general.
It's all over the local news.
They even got
a fucking photo of you.
-How bad is our end?
-Two and Three didn't make it.
To top it off,
the Russians didn't show.
What the fuck
did you have us walk into?
Jesus, Shaw.
The meeting was supposed to be
a feeling-out process.
I think my source sold us out
at the last minute.
I'm getting squeezed on this
as much as you are.
Yo, we gotta get up out of here.
Can you supply transportation?
-How many?
-Jason.
Why you think
the Russians didn't show up?
Don't know.
I'II notify the secretary general
the threat is still viable.
-She'II have to cancel the summit.
-Gaines, Gaines, Gaines.
I just know you don't have us
flapping in the wind.
Not unless you get picked up
by the Koreans.
Just sit tight.
I'm heading to you now.
Well, you know what?
We got another problem.
What now, Shaw?
There was a girl at that meeting.
PIease tell me
you didn't pick up a stray.
Needed answers.
Didn't have another choice.
There's always a choice.
You just made the wrong one.
-Gaines.
-Hold on.
Yeah, Iisten, stay put.
I'II be there in Iess than an hour.
Hello?
What's going on over there?
Come back.
Gaines.
We are now 24 hours from
the U.N. summit meeting in Seoul...
...where the parties have agreed
to enter talks...
...regarding the North Korean
nuclear-testing program.
Officials are hopeful of a speedy
resolution to this problem.
In the past few months...
...North Korea
has been extremely aggressive...
...in its pursuit of nuclear weapons.
However, the leaders seem
willing to meet at the summit table...
...for meaningful negotiations.
This is ridiculous.
I mean, Iook, not one of these
fucking pricks has bothered to call in.
What call, huh?
Gaines was our point person.
He's dead.
Dead. Okay, so what you're
trying to tell me is we're screwed.
Now, I take that into account.
What do we do now?
I'm gonna have to try to meet
with the secretary general.
She's the only one we can trust.
Whoever set that meeting up
sold us the fuck out.
Right.
Now, we're gonna have to
pack up all essentials...
...and take everything we can.
AII right, no.
Look, you put me on a plane...
...I go back to headquarters,
explain the situation, talk to them.
Shaw, come on. There's gotta be
some record of what we're doing here.
We're in a politician's playground,
where they master poli-tricking.
J, if you think
we just gonna walk up in there...
...and not get shot on sight,
you're crazy.
We don't exist.
We're what you call expendable.
The end of the day with our job,
we might not go home.
This is what we do.
But while we're alive, this summit
is our priority, you understand?
Yeah.
Where am I?
You're somewhere safe.
Don't even worry about it.
-Where's Kim?
-That's who you work with?
Yes.
We were at the meeting.
With Jung, who's dead?
What the fuck happened
at that meeting?
-You saw what happened.
-That's bullshit.
Why the Russians didn't show up?
You know what?
Better yet, what's your part in this?
It was my job to introduce
Kim and Jung to each other.
It was supposed to be
for conventional weapons.
-Police?
-Yeah.
Why did Kim kill Jung?
He thought he was being set up.
Relax, Iady.
Ain't nobody trying to do nothing
crazy. I just want some answers.
-Where have you taken me?
-Somewhere safe.
PIace we was at
too dangerous for you, for us.
Why do I think you're Iying to me?
AII right, Jason, Iet's get packed up.
Look, I'm a Iittle confused
about this whole meeting right now.
Now, they was waiting
for the Russians to come.
Why would they just start shooting?
I had no idea
that was going to happen.
Shit.
What are they saying?
The police are Iooking
for a black man.
-They think you killed Jung.
-No shit.
They didn't set him up,
they set me up.
Where's the news? Are they planning
to disrupt the summit?
It doesn't even Iook Iike you.
It don't matter. It's only a matter of time
before they get a better picture.
You do know I saved your Iife, right?
Yes, and for that I am very grateful.
But I didn't know
that was going to happen.
You mean to tell me you didn't know
that deal was over Live nukes?
To be honest, I do not trust you.
Why should I?
But Iet's pretend for one minute
that I do, that I should help you.
How would this benefit me?
The people I work for...
...they're interested
with making this world a safer place.
They can help you.
Your people? They're only interested
in destroying that safer place.
If it's nuclear devices
you are talking about...
...I really did not know
what was happening.
If I did, I would tell you. Why?
Why risk my Iife not telling you?
Look, you better really start trying
to work together with me on this...
...help me get out the hole
that they dug for us.
-Us?
-Yes, us.
Shaw, quick question.
Sorry to interrupt.
How are we gonna get past the
secretary general's security? What?
Look, you witnessed
Jung being killed.
What make you think they ain't got
a wooden box waiting for you, huh?
Jason, I thought I told you
to check her.
You did not do that.
-Not good?
-No, it's not good.
Because now they tracked us
back here.
-Find somewhere to hide.
-Come with me.
Stay down.
Stay there.
Fuck.
J, get in the car. Get in the car.
-I forgot something.
-Where you going?
Hold on, hold on.
Hold on.
-Get down.
-Oh, shit.
Oh, shit.
Try tracking that.
Security in and around Seoul
has been tightened...
...as we are only 18 hours away
from the much-anticipated summit...
...which will focus
on North Korea 's nuclear program.
The death this morning of
a politically influential businessman...
...has local officials on high alert.
Despite the situation, the summit
is planned to begin as scheduled.
Sun Tzu teaches that if your enemy
has superior strength...
...evade him until you are ready.
Pretend to be weak
so that he turns arrogant.
-What's interesting about this case?
-If we really are alone in this place...
...Iike you keep telling me we are,
we're gonna need these, right?
-Exactly.
-Exactly.
Tell you what, J, we ain't
outrunning nobody in this shit.
You think?
Oh, no. No.
Oh, great, great.
That's exactly what we need right now.
-You gotta be kidding me, right?
-Okay, what now?
There is a tourist place
straight ahead.
-Where?
-One block that way.
J, we gonna need a car Iike that.
Yeah, yeah. I'm on it.
You Know
this ain't making no sense to me.
These fools is trying way too hard
to kill us.
They tried before,
why wouldn't they continue?
No, this don't feel right.
We beyond that.
You know, I think you know
a Iittle more than what you saying.
And you may be someone else
than who you appear to be.
You know what? You gonna start
talking to me right now straight...
...or you gonna be walking.
Now, Kim and them people
crawling all around here.
It's way too active.
What's it gonna be, walk or talk?
I can only tell you what I know.
I really didn't know it was nuclear
devices we were talking about.
Kim surprised all of us
when he made the offer.
Jung was only interested
in conventional weapons.
When Jung hesitated,
Kim thought he was being set up.
You saw what happened after that.
Okay. Come on. Okay.
Here you go. And this, together.
Let's get in the car.
He's a handful, huh?
At times.
Hey, I'm not the enemy here.
I didn't ask for this.
Look, you and Kim are
big unanswered questions in my book.
You understand?
Yeah, right. I forgot.
You don't trust anyone,
even him, right?
Look, who I trust is irrelevant,
and none of your business right now.
Where are you going?
We can't keep driving around Iike this.
We gonna find a place
to shack up for the night.
Give me some time
to exercise some more of our options.
Listen, I know a place
very close from here.
My auntie owns a building.
We'II be off the streets.
No, that don't sound too safe to me.
I'm pretty sure the police have
clear pictures of both of us by now.
It's safer than this.
What are these options
you mentioned?
Pretty much there's just one.
I give them my contacts
so they can corroborate your story.
And these mysterious people
you talk about?
Damn, you ask too many questions.
Relax.
Kim mentioned there was
a U.N. summit in a few days.
That's why he wanted the nukes.
That's why we have to give him
my contact.
You have a family, a wife?
Nope, neither.
I had a girl.
She was nice.
Like they say, all nice things
have to come to an end.
You Ieft her?
She Ieft me. It was a hard Iife.
She had a family.
It was the best thing for both of us.
I don't wanna talk about it no more.
I thought I was in Iove once.
What happened?
He didn't Iike your Iong hours?
He hated whatever I did,
whoever I work with.
He turned into a drunk,
beat me up all the time.
Then what?
I killed him.
I'm kidding.
He died of Iiver failure.
AIcohol, remember?
Sorry to hear that.
No, you're not.
It's okay.
He who does not know the enemy
and does not know himself...
...will be in danger in every battle.
Sometimes, identifying your enemy
is more difficult than the battle itself...
...and sometimes,
the battle exists within yourself.
Wait. Before we go inside,
there's something you should know.
You're telling me
this was a bad idea.
No, it's not that.
My aunt, she's different.
Maybe not what you're expecting.
Well, I'm open for a surprise.
Well, I'm not.
Everyone back in the car.
Wait, wait, wait.
My aunt,
she runs some of these girls.
I thought you should know.
I want every customer sent out.
I don't wanna see no one,
nobody, nothing.
-Is that understood?
-I understand. It's not a problem.
Jason, wake up.
Listen, if one of them wants to stay,
then that's fine.
This is the Iocation.
Are you sure she's here?
Yes, I'm pretty sure.
That's what the girl said.
This one's yours.
This is my aunt.
She says some men came.
She had to hide at the neighbor's.
-How many? When?
-I don't know. She didn't say.
Go, go. Go, go, go.
Come on, everything's gonna be fine.
Get down.
Go. I got this.
J, come on.
Go to the car, I'II meet you there.
-What are you doing?
-Just go to the car.
Now what you gonna do?
-That was unnecessary.
-What?
What you did. It was unnecessary.
I had the situation under control,
thank you.
You were right.
A dollar fifty isn't what it used to be.
It'II have to do for the night.
Well, don't get comfortable.
I'm gonna need you to dump the car.
We gonna need
some new equipment.
I want you to go to the storage Iocker,
clear it out.
She's gonna need clothes.
Yeah, I will do all of that
in the morning.
No, now.
Now, as in-- As in-- As in now?
As in not now, as in right now.
Shaw, the storage yard
is halfway across town.
It's probably under surveillance.
If I go there now--
The company rented out that spot.
Nobody knows about it.
We need fresh equipment,
new gear, new vehicle. J, come on.
Fine, fine.
We got a plan, I take it.
Could I maybe hear this plan
before I go?
J, we'II have it
by the time you get back.
Yeah, sure. Let me guess.
It probably goes Iike this:
We're gonna walk
in the front door of the U.N. summit.
We're gonna go up
to the secretary general--
The secretary general
would have been there by now.
In a Iess-secure government building
for the first few days.
This is our only chance, J.
Come on, I know this routine already.
J, Iook, we get the van, go in there,
tap the building's security system.
-It's a wrap. Got it?
-No, I don't have it at all.
What you seem to be forgetting
is that this is a highly secure building.
And it is filled with people
that think that you, homey...
...went on a killing spree.
-And?
-"And"?
Okay, and Kim and his guys
are probably sitting on the place...
...just hoping that we would be
insane enough to actually show up.
If you get me there safely,
I will tell them everything.
I have no choice now.
Okay, all right.
Well, Iooks Iike I have no choice.
Thank you, J.
Does it hurt?
Why were you at that meeting?
It doesn't matter, does it?
We've done business
with Jung before.
Standard military-grade stuff.
Where did this come from?
Oh, this?
See, when I was 12...
...my old man
went to beat up on my mom.
Seemed Iike I got in the way.
You protected her?
I didn't do a good job.
Just got both of us
a worse ass-whooping.
It's in your nature to protect, isn't it?
If it is, I don't do a good job at it.
That's not true.
You saved your partner tonight
and me before that.
I would say
it's very much in your nature.
Where did you get these?
Oh, that's just
some old neighborhood shit.
Back when I was young and dumb,
gang banging.
That's a past Iife.
See, now they call me
to clean up the mess.
You know, I used to kill to get paper.
Now, I get paper to kill.
You saved my Iife.
You know, whatever happened before
isn't important to me.
That simple, huh?
Lady, you sure are a bad judge
of character, I'II tell you that much.
I Iike your character.
PIease tell me you did not park that
monstrosity right in front of the room.
Funny, because I didn't see you
volunteering to bring the shit inside.
Oh, yeah, and I got you
a bit of a change of clothes.
You know, Shaw, man, I'II be honest.
I've been thinking.
I'm gonna need
one seriously good reason...
...as to why we should go through
with this.
Because we don't have
another choice.
Look, you wanted to work the field,
Jason. Now we in the field.
-I have to know. You with me or not?
-No, I'm not.
Because it's gonna be difficult.
Because it's dangerous.
And Iike I keep trying to tell you,
Shaw, this plan is fucking crazy.
Another thing,
I would Iike to die as a good guy.
And if we get killed
doing this crazy shit...
...they are gonna bury us as traitors.
That's why.
You rehearsed that, didn't you?
Yeah, I did, in the van
a couple of times Iast night.
Why, what was wrong?
You didn't buy it?
Heartfelt, award-winning, buddy.
-He's with us.
-Yeah.
You two are crazy.
Maybe so, but we gonna need you
with us on this one.
You with us?
Guess I have no choice.
We are hours away
from what could turn out...
...to be one of the most
historic summits in U.N. history.
At the top of the U.S. agenda...
...is the dismantling of the
North Korean nuclear program.
The leaders of over 25 nations
have now arrived...
...and are taking their places
at the United Nations annex...
...in Seoul, South Korea.
We're in Iuck. Not much foot traffic.
Security camera's online.
You sure this signal's gonna hold?
Yeah, Yeah. Long enough for what we need.
You're right. This isn't the U.N. .....
.....Security system here
is a piece of cake.
Good, get us in.
That's what I'm doing.
AII these guys have got clearance.
We got Ambassador Suni Pakpao
from Thailand.
We got Ambassador Ryan
from England.
He's a bit sophisticated
for you to pull off.
-Don't be cute. Just get us in.
-Done.
Remember, everything computerized
travels over a certain frequency...
...which means if you can pick it up,
none of us are safe.
Okay, clean scan. What do we got?
West African Ambassador. Perfect.
-Send it.
-Scanner.
You ready?
-Hurts, huh?
-What was that?
Magic, it's what I do.
Look, get suited up.
The shifts change in 30 minutes.
Shaw, keep going down the corridor.
It's the next door on your Ieft.
Always attack the enemy
when he is unprepared.
Appear
where you are not expected.
This will give you the advantage
to win the battle.
Shaw, that chemical burn on your finger,
it's good for another 10 minutes.
Pick up the pace.
Okay.
The secretary general shared
your concern about the situation.
She's eager to speak to you
in person.
Talk to me, J.
Shaw, we got a problem.
What? We went through.
The printer worked. What?
I'm seeing a group of Koreans
passing through the corridor...
-...on the east side of the building.
-So?
So it's the South Korean U.N. ambassador,
and here's the mind game.
He has Kim and two of his goons
with him.
Does it look like he's being forced
to bring them in?
I don't think so.
-Any signs of the secretary general?
-No, She's still in her chamber.
We've got no feed to that.
More importantly for you right now...
...Kim and his guys
are one minute away.
-That's not good.
-No, it's not.
-You want some better news?
-What?
You're coming up
on two security guards.
Don't worry, I got your six,
these guys are actually at your nine.
-Come on.
-The password is "kiss me. "
-You gotta be kidding me.
-No, I'm fucking with you.
You're gonna have to sweet talk
your way around this one, I'm afraid.
Hey, hold on for a second.
Fuck me.
-Adrenaline.
-Effective.
Should I not have helped?
No, no, no. Your adrenaline
needed to be released.
Okay, Guys If you're done with the group hug,
Let's get back to the mission.
Time is of an essence,
if you know what I mean.
Exactly.
-What about them?
-Look, They're gonna be out...
...until we get to where we going.
Let's go. Grab his gun.
Now Head through that door
and make a Ieft.
The end of the hallway there's an inner lobby
that Ieads to the secretary general's office.
Yes, send them in.
Welcome, ambassador.
Young, will you excuse us, please?
PIease, be seated.
-Madam Secretary.
-Yes?
My most sincere thanks
for being present for the summit.
The Iooming threat
from North Korea's nuclear program...
...has plagued us
for too many years.
Mr. Ambassador, it is
the United Nations' responsibility...
...to help police
the world's nuclear programs.
I am only too glad
to be part of this summit...
...and pave the way
to nuclear disarmament.
Thank you, Madam Secretary.
We have been monitoring
the activities from the North...
...for months.
Yes.
As you know,
the matter with Jung went awry.
Oh, yes.
We have heard from our sources...
...that this foreign operative
in question is still in South Korea...
...and poses a serious threat
to this summit and, well, to your Iife.
I appreciate your concern.
Our operatives have also kept
close tabs on the agent in question.
We feel very strongly that the threat
will be dealt with very soon.
Do you know anything about
the gentleman that was in the news?
Oh, no, no, Mr. Ambassador.
The news reports say that he may be
an innocent American bystander...
...but that is all the news
that we've had thus far.
Madam Secretary,
with all due respect...
...do you really expect me to believe
that a black man in Korea...
...at a driving range
in the middle of the night was--
How did you put it?
An innocent bystander.
My sources tell me differently.
Honestly, Mr. Ambassador.
We would never be involved
in anything so covert.
I mean, really, we are the U.N.,
not the CIA.
Now truly, don't you think we should be
discussing more important matters...
...such as disarmament
and reunification?
I know you have a man on the job.
Look, We don't want wall guards coming.
Don't make any sound. Get your
Shaw. Shaw.
Fuck that.
You better fucking appreciate this,
Shaw.
Get your-- Hey, hey, hey.
You know what?
You're in my way.
What now?
Now we got business
with the secretary general.
Oh, typical.
-But you intend to resolve it
-Everyone relax. Relax, I said.
-I'm here to see the secretary general.
-You're seeing her.
You know me, ma'am?
Shaw, right?
Relax.
Relax, men. He's one of us.
If you know me,
you know what I'm capable of doing.
Only too well.
I only need 1 0 minutes of your time.
I have some information
for your ears only.
The Koreans are buying a nuke
from the Russians.
You're protecting the wrong people.
We know what you heard,
but unfortunately it was not correct.
She played you.
And you gave her
everything she wanted.
Not good?
Kim mentioned there was
a U.N. summit in a few days.
Secretary general
would have been there by now.
Adrenaline.
I Iike your character.
Face-to-face meeting with the
secretary general of United Nations.
She is the one trying to stop
the summit meeting.
That's why we wanted her
and Jung dead.
And you failed.
Drop your guns.
SIowly.
You're Iooking real ugly now, Iady.
What's your demands?
Get over there with the others.
SIowly.
This must be the way.
You're thinking about making a move.
I can see that.
If you do, the secretary general
is the first to die.
I Iike you better with your mouth full.
You don't have to do this.
This can stop now.
Oh, I'm sorry. Is this a bad time?
-Perfect timing, Jason.
-What the fuck is going on?
Move over there, right now.
Do what she say.
Don't do nothing stupid.
Why should he stop now?
You are signing your own
death warrant, you do know that.
What the hell do you want?
For the world to take notice.
You figure it out yet, Shaw?
You were the one
fronting for the Russians.
That's why Kim wanted you dead.
He's South Korean secret service,
aren't you, Kim?
You made a bad situation
into an opportunity.
Is that true, Kim?
You South Korean intelligence?
He would have Ioved questioning me
about my Russian arms connection...
-...but you prevented that.
-Now my gun is gonna be used...
...to kill the secretary general
of the United Nations.
And the summit
is gonna be stopped.
And you and your Northern hardlines
can breathe easy.
Am I close?
You can't kill all of us.
One of us will get you.
Wait, wait, wait.
Jason, don't.
A fool to the end.
J, you all right?
Can we get a medic?
-AII right, that's enough.
-You're gonna be all right.
Stay with us, J. Help is on the way.
Get the medics up here ASAP.
I think the impact
still cracked the rib.
Stop bitching.
A mosquito could have done worse.
So do I make the field?
Welcome to the team.
BIackman and Robin at it again.
Easy, easy.
The secretary general
wants a word with you.
I thought she would.
I'm so sick of this.
Shaw.
You're a necessity. We need you.
I know you need some rest,
some time to relax.
You are the Iast Iine of defense,
and you know that, and now so do I.
I was. That got old fast.
I Iost the taste for it.
-Shaw--
-Look, I'm not in the mood for this.
Listen, I said take some time.
Come in out of the shadows.
Gaines was a good man.
He'd want somebody Iike you
to take his place.
That's not what I want.
We can make it better.
We can put the pieces
of your Iife back. We can do that.
I don't think anyone can do that.
-We're all the family you've got.
-Last one, I'm out.
-Is he free to Ieave, ma'am?
-Yes.
Never take your eyes off your target.
Shaw, we'II be in touch.
We can't really Iet you go.
A true warrior
can only serve one master.
And that master must be himself.
For knowing when to do battle
or when to walk away...
...is to know the true art of war.
