[Alice] This serial number.
It has to belong to a container.
[Hélène] Only two people knew
you were staying at Le Peron, right?
Alice, we 'll find him.
- [Hélène] Durand
- [Alice] Oh, my God.
[Hélène] and Drax.
So the question is
which one is trying to kill you?
[Alice] It's ridiculous.
Durand is not a human traffickr
and Tom isn't either.
You don't know Tom.
Do you?
Alice, this is over.
[Alice] That wasn't Tom
at the opera house.
That was someone different.
[policeman] Stop! Stop!
[Hélène] I'm talking about
the pursuit of the truth.
It's what you do. It's what I do.
- [screams]
- [speaking French]
[Hélène] Better to accept it.
What if we found the container?
SS Montmartre.
[Alice] It arrived last night.
- Come with me.
- Wait! Alice!
[Alice] That's the boat.
Oh, my God, we found it.
Oh, my God
[indistinct chatter]
[sobbing]
[louder crying]
Alice!
Shit!
[Alice] We have to help them,
we have to do something.
[men speaking French]
[women sob and scream]
We can't do anything now.
Shit! Come on, come on, come on.
[speaking French]
[whispering]
[panting]
[Alice] Quick, in here!
[Hélène] They blocked us in.
Come.
Come on.
[Alice] Up here.
[Alice grunts]
[Alice] Come on.
[Hélène] Okay.
- [grunts]
- [yelps]
You have to jump now. Come on.
- Let's go! Ready jump!
- [screams]
[Said] Hey!
[screams]
[moans]
[opening theme music playing]
[laughing]
[soft piano music plays]
[music continues]
[Alice gasps]
Hey!
Hélène
[Alice] Tom?
I found this in her pocket.
What were you doing
in the container yard?
This is becoming
a real fucking pain in the ass,
you know that, Tom?
I can handle it.
Can you?
Alex, I've got this.
Said.
Go and check the delivery.
Make sure he doesn't wake up
the entire town like last time.
Okay.
Why didn't you go home?
- What?
- You heard me.
Why didn't you go home?
Well, I was looking for him.
Bullshit! You're working for somebody.
I'm not working for anybody,
- I'm an archaeologist.
- Don't fucking lie to me.
You're working for somebody.
Who do you work for? Huh?
Tell me!
Who are those people?
Where are they going?
What are you doing with them?
[Tom] Alex, hey, hey
Alex, Alex, Alex
You're wasting your time.
No, I want to hear it from her.
So who do you work for? Tell me.
Alex, she doesn't know anything.
She's evaded the police for two days.
Alex, I know her, alright?
She's stubborn and she's determined,
but she's just a girl
in way over her head.
Why is she still here, huh?
Why is she still here? Tell me!
Why are you here?
[Hélène mumbles]
What did you just say?
[speaking French]
[screams]
- Oh, my God!
- One more time.
- Tom! Tom!
- [Tom] No, no.
Alex, Alex
Shoot them both.
[Tom] Are you out of your mind?
An American tourist goes missing,
you don't think this has blowback?
Just shoot them.
The police will be
crawling all over this place
like rats in a sewer.
Don't be so fucking stupid!
What do you suggest
we do with her, lover boy?
This is my mess. Just let me handle it.
Then handle it.
If you're right, which you're not,
I can get her to talk.
- I bet you can!
- We're not going to find out
who's after us
if we kill her now, are we?
Give me your phone.
What?
There's been a change of plan.
Give me your phone.
Come on, this is unnecessary.
[Alice] Tom, Tom!
- Come on, Tom, Come on!
- [Tom] Fine. Fine.
Here.
Great. Thank you.
[Mira] The truck is here.
So this is no longer a problem.
Okay?
Okay.
[Alex] Yeah? Really?
I got it, Alex.
Oh, great.
Thank you, Tom.
- [reversing truck beeps]
- [Durand] Fuck!
[Alice] Tom.
Tom!
Tom!
Oh, Jesus!
Hey
Oh, my God.
Hélène.
Hélène, wake up.
- Come on
- [footsteps approaching]
[Alice] Tom.
- [Tom] They're gonna kill you.
- [Alice] What?
Hey! What the fuck is going on?
There's no time to explain, alright?
You have, at most,
90 seconds to save your life.
Said is going to kill you.
I need you to ram this into his eye.
- What?
- Listen to me, listen to me.
Force it all the way in and twist.
Take his keys, go out through the office,
when you reach that door,
run for your life.
- You can do this.
- Tom
- You can do this.
- Wait, wait, wait Tom. Tom!
Oh, my God.
Okay.

We gotta go. Yes.
[man 1] Said?

Okay? I'll be back.
[men yelling]

[shouts]
[Tom] Please, quiet. Keep quiet.
Alright. Go back! Go back!

[keys jingling]
[truck beeping]
[football commentary on TV]
[speaking French]
Please, may I?
Have a drink with me?
No.
- No. Forget it.
- Okay.
[speaking French]
I said have a drink with me.
[speaking French]
[speaking French]
Police?
Shit!
Don't move.
[Drax] Miss Monroe.
You've gone from a woman
looking for her boyfriend
to someone ready
to knife a police inspector
in just a few days.
The south of France doesn't suit you.
Yeah. Well, I know who you are.
Please tell me, and I'll cancel
my therapist tomorrow.
My wife will be most pleased.
I need you to follow my instructions.
I need you to follow me to SOS right now.
I need to know
what happened to Maurice Geroux.
Two witnesses saw you at his apartment
at the time of his death.
I didn't kill Geroux.
Would you like to tell me who did?
I suggest you put the knife down.
[policeman speaking French
over megaphone]
- [policeman shouts]
- [Drax] Putain!
[tires screech]
[shouting in French]
Hélène?
Hélène?
[men speaking French]
[Alice] I don't understand. There were
Tom and that woman and Durand
were just in there.
They were just in there and
There were women and children,
they were ushering 'em
out of this container.
And he hit Hélène. He hit her.
I saw it happen.
[speaking French] Stop!
I'm done with your fantasies.
You have to come with us now, it's time.
Just hold on. Just wait.
- [speaking French]
- [Alice] Just wait!
[speaking French]
[Alice] Oh, God.
[Drax] Miss Monroe,
this has gone way too far,
come out now, please. [speaking French]
Look. Look.
There were people in there,
there were tons of people in there.
Maybe they got smuggled in
from, I don't know, Syria or Tunisia.
- I don't know.
- Okay, okay.
This is more than a stick of bubble gum.
But still, you have to come
with me to the station.
[speaking French]
[Alice] What? Wait! Wait! Wait!
A large truck drove in.
Okay? Uh
It had like on the outside,
Savonnerie
Cheval The factory the place
The the
- Savonnerie?
- Savonnerie, yes! The Cheval.
- Savon du Cheval?
- Yes!
- D'accord. The soap factory.
- Yes, it was that truck!
- Yes.
- All right.
And it was large.
Maybe they put the people
in there, maybe they took them.
- We need to go check that.
- Okay.
Let's say I believe you.
What about your boyfriend? Tom Parker?
Is he part of it?
I'm
Oh, my God.
I believe he is.
I believe he ordered
the murder of Maurice Geroux.
[chuckles]
Yeah, that's very convenient
for you, isn't it?
I believe he's one of the leaders
of an international trafficking ring.
Really?
God, I'll lead you to him.
I'll tell you everything
I know about him and his
His
Everything that I know
about him. I'll lead you to him.
His business, his associates
- Just, please
- Okay.
The soap factory isn't far away.
We will go.
On our way to the station.
[speaking French]
Why did you meet with Durand yesterday?
Getting information on you.
We had just found Geroux's body
and Durand said
he knew who did it, and of course
I didn't believe him until
you pulled that knife on me.
[chuckles]
Your old boss says
you're the best he's ever seen.
Even recommended you for a professorship.
You talked to Rafiq?
Of course I did. It's my job.
So tell me. What happened?
You got sick of digging up bodies? Hmm?
I'm not who you think I am.
You don't know what I think.
But still
I don't believe you killed Geroux.
You're not the type.
The thing I don't understand is
if you're as brilliant
as your boss suggests,
how would you ever allow yourself
to get into this kind of situation?
With this kind of man.
[sighs]
There it is.
[speaking French]
- I'm coming with you.
- No, you stay, we go.
I'm trusting you.
And I'm trusting you.
I'm afraid you have no choice.
[men speaking French]
[suspenseful music]
[woman wailing]
[men shouting instructions in French]
[woman screams]
- [women crying]
- [men shouting]
[Alex] Next one.
[women crying]
[speaking French]
[woman whimpers and cries]
[Alice] Hélène?
[Hélène moans]
Hélène!
Oh, my God. Are you okay?
Hold on, hold on.
Here. Here.
Oh, my God.
Are you okay?
[Hélène] What's going on?
I don't know.
[Hélène] Alice!
[dramatic music]
No, no! Fuck!
Get off
Putain!
[Alice] Shit!
Oh! Ow!
[grunting]
[screams]
[speaking French]
[Alice gasps for air]
[Tom] Alice?
[Alice coughs]
[Alex] Kill her.
Oh! Oh!
- [gunshot]
- [women scream]
Parker, what the fuck?
What the fuck?
Don't do anything stupid, Alex.
It's over.
Alice!
Alice!
Are you on your own?
[scoffs] You're on your own, aren't you?
[Drax] Everybody stay calm.
[speaking French]
Put the weapons down.
Hey, this is the man you're looking for.
We just intercepted him.
He's lying!
Can't you see what's going on?
I need you all to put your weapons down!
If I put mine down, he'll start shooting.
Listen to me, listen to me. He fooled us!
He fooled everyone, okay?
He I had no idea this was going on.
[Tom] I'll tell you what's going on.
I'm with Interpol.
[Alex] Liar!
They trafficked
these people in from Jordan.
You were my brother.
I treated you like my own brother!
Weapons down, the both of you. Now!
You're making a mistake!
Shoot him!
Shoot him!
[Drax] Weapon down, Mr. Parker!
- [Tom] You're making a mistake!
- No, shoot him.
Shoot him. Shoot him.
Hey, cocksucker!
- [women scream]
- [gun clicks]
- Hélène! No, no, no, no.
- [Tom] Go, go, go!
[shouting and screaming]
[police shouting]
You're a fucking spy?
I wanted to tell you,
but the longer it went on
Who are you, Tom?
[screams]
Stay here. Keep down.
Wait! Wait!
Tom!
[people shouting]
[screams, shouts]
[click]
Oh, fuck
[grunting and fighting]
[grunting]
[both grunting and gasping]
[both grunting and gasping]
You played me.
You don't have to do this.
You duplicitous fucking asshole.
How long have you been working for them?
This isn't going to help. All right?
You're just gonna make things worse.
[Alex] I thought we were friends, Tom.
Get off
[bone cracking]
Alice! Alice, that's enough!
That's enough. That's enough.
- I know.
- How could you do this to me?
- How could you just leave me
- Alice
like that. What's wrong with you?
Oh, my God.
- Are you fucking kidding me?
- [Mira] Well.
[scoffs] Aren't you just
the most adorable couple?
[gunshot]
[sighs]
[Alice] Oh, my God.
You're
I'm getting too old for this.
Did you see Hélène? Is she okay?
Those other people, are they okay?
[Drax] They're alright.
They're being taken care of.
And Durand's men are in custody.
I thought you were one of them.
You almost sound disappointed.
Well, Miss Monroe.
You're free to go.
And you,
Mr. Interpol, you and I need to talk.
But first, you owe her an explanation.
[Tom] Alice
- [Drax] Don't go far now.
- [Tom] Alice!
[Drax speaks in French]
Alice.
Please.
Please, let me explain, Alice.
What could you possibly say
right now, Tom?
It wasn't meant to be like this.
Alright? This wasn't the plan.
Oh, well, what was the plan?
What was the plan?
What could I have done?
Durand told me to get off the train.
He found out I was being followed.
The conductor was on the payroll.
The conductor who was murdered?
Yeah, okay.
I'll tell you everything. Alright?
I was recruited
three years ago in Jordan.
You saw what it was like.
I couldn't just sit back anymore.
I saw a girl yesterday,
one of those poor women
that had been brought here
against her will.
I showed her a picture of you
and she screamed
like she saw some sort
of fucking monster.
I never laid a finger
on any of them, Alice.
I was deep undercover.
I had to wait for a moment
to bring the whole operation down.
Durand was paranoid.
He would lie and manipulate
and he'd cover his tracks
so we could never pin him down.
Not until you, alright? Until tonight!
I wish I could have saved
all of those poor women,
but we didn't have enough evidence,
and I have to live with that.
But I had to stop them, Alice.
And this was the only way.
I worked so hard to get to this point.
Look, I know, I know.
I know I should have told you before,
but when is the right time
to tell someone something
you're not allowed to tell anyone?
People's lives were at risk here.
And I just
What about my life, Tom?
I I thought I could maybe
manage both and then a time
would come that I could tell you.
I don't even know who you are anymore.
- Yes, you do.
- No, I don't!
You do, Alice! You do!
Then who was that at the opera house?
- Who was that?
- That wasn't me, alright?
I did that to keep you safe.
Did you sleep with her?
No. God, no. No, no.
I needed to get close to her.
She was Durand's closest ally
on the ground, right?
And if she suspected anything,
people would have lost their lives.
I can't do this I can't.
- [Tom] Alice
- [Alice] This is too much.
I don't know what to believe anymore.
- I don't know what to think.
- Alice
Alice.
The Tom you know, that's the real me.
Look, I love you.
I can't I can't imagine
my life without you.
Look, I'm done.
Let's move to Princeton.
I never wanna hurt you again.
But you abandoned me.
And I'll spend the rest of my life
making it up to you.
[soft piano melody playing]
[soft piano music plays]
[panting]
[soft piano music continues]
[indistinct chatter, laughter]
[door closes]
[sighs]
We did it.
Yeah, we did.
- I was waiting for you.
- [Alice chuckles]
No, don't get up. You should be resting.
No, I can't.
I have a deadline.
[Hélène sighs loudly]
First, you should know,
I never underestimated you.
Never.
I know.
At what time do you go?
My train leaves this afternoon.
Oh, no. God, please.
- Not another train.
- I know.
So I can have one hour for my interview?
You can have as long as you want.
One hour will be fine.
- Okay
- So where do you wanna start?
Ah
What will you do about Tom?
Alice?
Alice?
[Alice] "Dear Tom,
At least I had the good manners
to leave you a fucking note."
[drumsticks tapping beat]
[funky bass and guitar chords]
Taxi!
