Go, go! Move it, move it, come on guys!

Let's go! Come on. Move in the car.

Let's go! Let's go!

There's four of you. - You can count. I'm impressed. Now drive!

Rule one. Never change the deal. The deal was transportation for three men

with a combined weight of 254 kgs. - Yeah! Well this is a new deal!

An extra 80 kgs means we will not make your destination on the gas I allotted.

So we'll stop and get more gas! - Every exposure increases the risk...

of getting caught. An extra 80 kgs means the Kony shock absorbers I installed

der Koni-Stoßdämpfer ermöglicht es uns nicht,

will not give us the ability to lose any police that might chase us.

Which means if there's a chase, we lose our advantage.

I don't want to get caught. - Drive the car or you'll catch a bullet.

And who's going to drive? - Shoot this asshole! I'll drive!

Not without the ignition code you won't.

Three men. 254 kgs That was the deal.

Three men. 254 kgs. - Seat belts.

Shit!

Shocks. See?

Now.

Move it Marcel, move it. - Look out! Careful!

Get out of the way!

86, they're back on right direction! - Look out man, look out! Wohwowo!

Go, go, go! - Oh, merde!

No, no, no! - I just conditioned the leather.

Take us to the drop point! - Not yet.

The cops! - Do something, man! Come on!

What are you thinking? What are we doing now?

No, no, no!

Don't do this! No! No! What are you doing?

Your gun please.

Police! Stop! Stop! Police!

I'm fed up with this car chase.

You gave me too much. - I need you to take us to Avignon.

The deal was this far no further. The deal is the deal. Rule number one.

Rules are meant to be broken. - Not mine.

Get in the car. Come on!

Hurry! Move it!

The Argentinian government reaffirmed its commitment to meeting the IMF this year.

And yesterday in Nice four men robbed the Alliance Investment corporation.

One man died on the side walk. The others were apprehended

Early this morning when they took a wrong turn on a one way street

in Avignon and ran into a taxi cab. The police said were it not for

their poor driving habits the 20 million euros in bearer bonds

would have been cashed and gone by this afternoon.

And in other news the stock market closed...

I always say the way a man treats his car is how he treats himself.

I'd say that's probably true Inspector. - You have a good sense of humor

for an foreigner Monsieur Frank. Like the French. Sly wit.

Just the right amount of flavor. Been out driving?

Until they pass a law says I can't. Do you want to come in for a coffee?

Thank you but I have a lot of stops to make. 88 to be exact.

It's a lot of stops. - A lot of 1999 Black BMW 735's

with 06 on their license plates to check out.

It's a very popular car with a certain type down here.

You saw them. They come over from Italy in those very expensive suits,

and the young pretty girls with the big jewelry and too much makeup.

Very... Mafia. There was a robbery...

a getaway... some very fancy driving.

By someone in a 1999 black BMW 735...

Yeah, with 06 on the plate.

You have been in the city lately? - Not for a while.

I love Nice. The food. The way they grill fish.

No place else in France does it the way they do in Nice. And the women.

I prefer the women there. They are more ...complicated...

than the local variety. Don't you think?

I don't particularly like complicated. - You like to keep it simple.

Why are you so interested? - Oh, ever since I'm a little boy

military people have always intrigued me.

And I'm ex military. - I'm an ex little boy.

Sure you don't have time for a coffee? - Everything is always so neat with you.

Nothing ever out of place. - I take that as a compliment

coming from a man who pays attention to every detail.

Maybe I'll come back later for that coffee.

Door's always open to you.

Be brief. - I'm looking for a transporter.

I'm listening.

One bag. That's it. - Dimensions?

Be specific. - One meter fifty by half meter.

Weight? - 50 kilos. Not more.

Destination? - 24 rue du Luxembourg to Mister...

Rule two. No names.

Time of pick up? - 7 o'clock in the morning. Front door.

A package. One meter fifty by fifty. Fifty kilos. 250 kilometers.

Traveling within the speed limit. One stop for refreshments.

40,000. Half now, half on delivery. Delivery will be at noon.

If no one is there it is not my responsibility. I leave the package.

Once we make a deal the terms of that deal cannot be changed or renegotiated.

It's another rule? - It's rule number one. Do we have a deal?

You're very precise. - Transportation is a precise business.

Mm... Flat!

Hi.

Now, don't move. I'm not gonna hurt you, I'm just gonna make a little hole

so you can drink. That's all I'm gonna do. Please! Please! Please, come on.

Come on, drink.

Slowly.

Ok, ok, that's enough. Good girl.

I'm going to take the tape off. If you scream I'll kill you. Understand?

I have to pee! Do you want me to do it in your car?

Ok.

I'm gonna take my knife now, so don't scream, ok? It's to cut you free.

You don't need your mouth to pee.

You have one minute.

55, 54, 53, 52...

Breaking the rules Frank. Not good to break the rules.

15!

7...

2... Times up.

Don't make me drag you out.

Shit!

No... please. No.

Rule three. Never look in the package. Hope you enjoyed your pee,

cause it's your last on this trip.

You see what comes of breaking the rules.

You're late. - Ran into a little problem.

Nothing serious?

Nothing serious.

You open the package? - Rule three. Never open the package.

I like that. Rules. You can't get Anything done in a world without rules.

You're foreigner right? It's a nice little thing...

you've got going for yourself here. High class. Good reputation.

I didn't get your name. - Rule two. No names.

Of course.

You don't count it? - Why? Should I?

No. No. - That concludes the deal.

You know... I was wondering... if you wouldn't mind...

transporting something for me. That's what you do right?

You deliver. No questions asked?

Why not?

Weight?

Maybe a kilo. - Destination.

Grenoble. 306 Rue Du Lac. A mister...

Oh right. I forgot. Rule two.

I like him.

What the f...

Where is he?

You're like dog shit. You're everywhere.

Yeah I know, I know you wanna pee, all you wanna do is pee.

Piece of shit!

Frank you stupid shit!

I ask the questions. You answer the questions.

No long speeches. Just keep it simple. Got it?

Who are you? - My name is Lai.

I come from Ch... - I ask the questions.

You answer the questions. Nothing more. Nothing less. Do you want to try again?

What kind of shit am I in? - Deep shit. Very deep shit.

Those guys...

Bon appetit. - Where are you going?

To bed. I can't think straight when I'm tired. After a good night's sleep,

I always see things better. - Can I leave?

Be my guest.

Hey.

Are you comfortable? - Boss...

Shhh... save your strength... just tell me... who did this?

The transporter... - The Transporter's dead.

He's not...

Believe me...

I believe you. And the police?

They were here? You told them nothing, right?

Right. - Of course.

You couldn't talk.

Yeah.

Let's keep it that way.

I picked them from the garden outside. I hope you don't mind.

I didn't know if you like coffee or tea.

So I made both.

I hope you like... ma-de-leines.

Try one.

Careful. It's hot.

Good?

Let me. - I like it quiet in the morning.

Yes. Quiet in the morning. Me too. Me too. I'm the same way...

I like very quiet.

Sorry.

Are you looking for milk? - There is milk at the door.

Stay, stay! I'll go.

Hi.

And you are? - The new cook.

Is Monsieur Frank in? Ah Mr Frank,

is your invitation for coffee still open? - Sure, come on. Please sit.

Madeleines?

Yes! I'll bring some more.

My mother used to make fresh Madeleine every morning. I smell them...

and my whole childhood comes back in one big flood. Like Proust.

You ever read Proust Monsieur Frank? - No.

He's fantastic. Memory like a steel trap. He would have been a great cop.

A real detail man. - Milk?

Thank you.

I used to have a memory like Proust. Like a filing cabinet up there.

I would see something and remember it like that... Like license plates.

I could see a plate and it was printed in my head. Now...

I need all the help I can get remembering whose plate goes with whose car...

Like... this one.

It's mine. - Ah... memories...

So, where's the rest of the car? - I was hoping you could tell me.

It was stolen. I went down to Fréjus to pick up a few things.

When I came out of the market, it was... - Gone? Did you report it?

It's the first on my today's list. - It's a long walk from Fréjus.

How did you get home? - I brought him.

I saw him walking along the dark road. - A risky thing.

Picking up a stranger on a dark road.

He had a kind face.

I didn't see a car outside. - It's in the garage.

May I see it?

Pretty nice car for a cook. Hey some people

have a problem with the Germans. They're too aggressive.

They take up the best beaches in summer. They can't cook worth a damn.

I say anyone makes such great cars can't be all bad.

I'd say your intuition worked out very well for monsieur Frank, Mad'moiselle.

Worked out for both of us.

Bon! My intuition says this is probably a good time for me...

to go file my report. - Where's the rest of my car?

Oh yes... I almost forgot. It was blown to pieces at a rest stop.

What's left of it is down at the lab. They're trying to separate

what was left of the two cops in the trunk...

from the rest of it. But you wouldn't know anything about that.

No. - Sorry to interrupt.

Thank you for the coffee and the memories. - Come back any time.

Would you mind walking me? - Come on.

You have always been very quiet about your business Monsieur Frank.

I appreciate that. Less work for mother. But this business at the rest stop...

This is not very quiet. I don't suppose you would like to tell me

something besides a stolen car story? - If I had one I would.

Well may I suggest that when the two of you show up in my office after lunch

you do have one, a better one than you currently have.

You are the one he wants to see not me. - Quiet!

Please, I have to think. - You were supposed to think last night.

Yeah but last night I had nightmares. About a girl who came into my quiet life,

screwed it all up. Everything she touched broke and every move she made

turned into a catastrophe. - OK. Sorry.

I'm still wondering if I want to know everything or nothing about you.

What? - The quiet.

I thought you like quiet.

Yeah not this quiet.

Are you ok? Good! Let's go.

Go!

Don't stay there!

Frank!

Your hand!

Come on!

Come on get in! Get in! - No! No!

Lai look! Come on! You wanna die? Get in!

Calm down ok? Don't worry. Are your OK?

Stay here I'm coming back. - No! Wait! Wait!

Put it on.

You're ok? Sure? Ok, let's go.

Frank? Is this your house?

Frank? - Yeah guess.

Frank.

Should mind my own goddamn business!

Simple rule, simple little rule.

There's gonna be some dry clothes in this house.

Don't open the package. Nothing but trouble

you open the god damn package. - Frank.

What are you doing? - Making up for the trouble.

Wait, wait. Why are you making? - No more questions.

Wait. I don't like when things get complicated.

You like things simple. Very simple.

I'm not so clear about the house. Could you explain?

One more time. After I left... - After you left we went...

for a walk on the beach. Had a swim. - Anyone else swimming at that time?

No. Did you see anybody else swimming? - No. No one.

So. You took a walk. Had a swim on a beach,

where no one else was swimming. Past the point.

Where you can't see or be seen from the beach on either side which makes...

witnesses a little hard to come by. - That's the point of a romantic swim.

Who wants witnesses? - And then?

We went to the house and found it on fire. - Just like that, on fire?

Yes. - And the 5,000 rounds of spent ammo

my men found all around the house? - Maybe they had the wrong house.

Monsieur Frank, people with this kind of firepower

do not make mistakes about who they visit.

Who would want you this dead? - I don't know.

Any problems with a client? - I don't have clients. I'm retired.

I live on my Army pension. You have all the facts of who I am and who I was.

You've had them for years. - Any enemies from the past?

I left the past behind when I moved here. - A past like yours...

you never leave behind.

Commissaire, on vous demande en bas. - I'll just be a moment.

Don't leave.

What are you doing? - Computers know everything,

you just need a password. - Are you nuts? We're in a police station!

You're always complaining. Except when we make love. Then you say nothing.

Ah!

Lalala... Hello! See?

So where will you be staying? - I don't know.

My cousin has a small hotel.

Thanks. But we'll manage. - Without money, it would be hard.

Here. It's not much, but at least you won't go hungry.

Thank you.

Where are you going? - Going to see that guy.

Good luck. - One minute. You're not coming?

No. - But he blew up your car.

I'll buy a new one. - He tried to kill you!

And as far as he now knows, he succeeded. Look. I'm going to give you some advice.

I don't care what you were into. But whoever wanted you dead thinks...

you are dead. You have a free pass to start over. Here's the advice. Start over!

There are 400 people dying...

in a container on a ship.

My father. My sisters.

The ship arrives today. They will make my father a slave.

The only one who knows the container number...

is that guy. - You're very good.

What do you mean? - On the moment you saw my pictures

you set me up to get involved in this. The breakfast. The excuse to the cop.

One lie after another.

Not everything is a lie. - Name one thing that isn't.

What happened in the house. Between us. That was not a lie.

You were a soldier. Your job was to save people.

Past tense. - What does that mean?

I got tired of seeing my best efforts get turned into bullshit by the same people

who were paying me for job. No one cared. - This time I care.

Hey! Thank you.

Bonjour! - Bonjour...

No phone calls for half an hour. - Hello! Surprise.

Sit.

Put your hands where I can see them. Before we get to the heart of the matter,

I have one question for you. Why did you try to kill me?

You lied to me. You opened the package. You broke the rules. Your rules.

What did you expect me to do? Recommend you for another job?

What's the ship number?

Mr. Transporter we can both agree. I answered your first question politely.

I won't answer any more. So I suggest...

you kill me right now. And go screw yourself.

I can't find anything.

Oh poor Frank... What did she tell you? We're smuggling people in containers?

Lai is the perfect name for her. - Mr.Kwai's on the way up.

Your father's here. He'll be delighted. - I thought he was in the container.

Yes... I mean no... There are 400 people in that container!

Stay where you are! - She's a real heartbreaker, isn't she?

Ten seconds. Two choices. The information on the paper

or your brains on the desk. Now tell me I'm lying. 9, 8...

I don't know what you're talking about. - 5, 4, 3,

2... - One. Shoot.

Lai! - I'm not going to let you do it!

Your greed killed my mother. You want to kill me? Let them kill me!

Would I kill my own daughter? Lai...

Come on now. Put it down.

We'll talk. - She thinks

we're smuggling people in containers. - I don't know...

where you get these ideas. - Stay away!

Would you kill your own father? - Please! I'm begging you!

Stop what you are doing! - I do what I do.

I am who I am. I will never change. So if you could kill me. Kill me.

But if you don't, get this gun out of my face! Give me.

No!

Don't! He's innocent. - I know he's innocent.

You have such a good heart. Always... interested in saving innocent people.

Well here's your big chance. Drop your gun...

and you will save one.

Kill him! - No!

The police are on the way up.

What now? - Take her.

Send me Lee. I need him to wrap something up.

Just for the record. There aren't 400 people in that container.

Only 395 are admitted here alive. - Frank!

Inspector. Am I glad you're here. - What is this?

This man used my partner's daughter here to try to blackmail us.

Luckily my security got the drop on him. - I want to press charges.

Kidnapping. Extortion. Assault. - I know this man.

I suppose in your business you have to know all types.

Now should I call my lawyer? - We'll handle it.

Ich erwarte Sie alle in meinem Büro, damit Sie Ihre Aussage machen.

I'll expect all of you down at my office to give your statements.

You will have a headache for a few days, then everything will go back to normal.

Where are they? - I think you should be more concerned

with where you are. What got into you?

You were always so careful. - I have to get out of here.

With the charges they filed you will not be getting out for a very long time.

Assaulting a distinguished member of the international business community,

kidnapping his daughter, extortion. I'm sorry Frank,

I would like to help you. But if you continue with the same old story,

I am retired, living on a pension...

I need fresh Frank. I need new.

For once I need the truth.

OK. They're smuggling people.

From Asia. Through Marseilles. In containers.

You know this for fact? - The girl told me.

You believe her? - Yes.

In French we have a saying. Never believe the cook.

She's not a cook. - I suspected.

You know Frank no one is perfect. - You're saying you'll do nothing.

I'm saying I'm going to start an investigation.

In the meantime the 400 could be dead. - But what am I supposed to do?

There are laws. - Sometimes you have to make your own law.

Like you do? - With me it doesn't take twelve months

to get the job done. - I know. That's what I admire about you.

All that Army training. All that sneaking around.

A man like you could probably resolve this case in how long?

Twelve hours? - Less.

Less? Impressive. You would be the perfect man for the job.

Yes. If I were out. - Yes. If you were out.

Anybody moves and I kill him. - Personne ne bouge. Baissez vos armes,

ce type est complètement dingue, il est capable de tout.

If this is how you transport... I'm amazed...

you get any work at all. - Come on, give me a hand.

Maybe I should go with you. - Thanks, but I'm better alone.

That is a very small boat to fight a very big war.

Yeah! It's a good boat. - Frank here.

You'll need it.

Oh maybe not.

Shipment's cleared. Here are the papers. Take the highway

all the way to the first exit Lyon. Go straight to the warehouse.

We'll be right behind you just in case.

Hey! We are ready to go. - I will not go with you.

Lai dear...

I spent thousands of dollars for you to go to school and learn English.

The least you can do is speak it. - I hate you.

I'm still your father. Get her out of here!

Give me a minute.

Keep him alive.

Let's go.

No don't!

Bitch!

Good morning. You lost?

I'm looking to do a little sightseeing. - This plane is not for tourists.

And I'm not a tourist.

Call this guy and tell him to meet me. - Sure. Where?

Down there.

Here!

Move up!

Now!

Get closer.

Steady! - No! Dad stop!

Get away!

Down!

Hands on your head! Move.

Watch her, if she moves or I don't return shoot her.

To the water. - I'm realy not on a mood for a swim!

March!

So how did a low life like you end up with my daughter?

I found her in a bag. You left her there. - You know nothing!

You got involved with the wrong girl you dumb shit. The delivery will be made.

My daughter will get over it. If I'm lucky, maybe she'll see the light.

If she's lucky, you'll get hit by a truck. - What do you know?

She'll never stop being who she is. She'll never be you. Or anything like you.

She'll come around. But you won't be here to see it.

No!

I guess she won't be coming around after all.

Turn around! - I'd rather see it coming.

Makes no difference to me.

He was a bastard. But he was still my father.

Pretty impressive timing Frank.

I guess I underestimated you.
