Original subtitles

A rebel with a cause named Susan Sontag said that society needs to have an

illness which becomes identified with evil.

Now, our society has more than one.

To that end, I quote Sly Stallone from his seminal film, Cobra.

Crime is a disease.

I'm the cure.

He's late. You're sure this is the right place, right? Yes, I'm sure.

Why do you do that? Do what?

You doubt me. What are you talking about? You doubt me all the time. Don't

that. How am I doubting you? You second -guessed me. I know how to do my job.

Don't do it. Please.

You're the one that's the amateur here. Don't forget that. No, you're absolutely

right. It's your job to second -guess me. Exactly.

All right, here he comes.

You sure that's him, right?

Didn't I say?

What did I just say? I just want to be sure. Yuri Grigoryev, my friend.

Comrades, previa.

Nice to see you. Life is good, no?

Good.

Good, good, good. My friend Darian Fox.

Nice to meet you. An honor.

So we on? Everything good?

Meeting is set. Should be here soon.

Let me ask you a question.

Why are you helping us, Fox?

No, I'm just curious. Why are you helping us? Because to Hobbs I owe

because this Mudak, this man that go telephone, he sell death weapons.

This is not good for us. Yeah, you guys plan with just regular old guns. Fox,

please.

This is my friend here.

Folks know he's just a concerned citizen here. Don't worry about it. He's a

union guy, da?

Da.

Union.

Okay.

Sim. Pellet.

In an ice cream truck.

They drive through all gang turfs. Police never bother to check. That's why

telephone uses this.

Hold on. Let me clear something up here. We're talking about Arnaud, right? Who?

Arnaud. Arnaud.

The guy you call telephone, we call the phone.

Well, actually, his last name is Deferne.

Deferne. Swiss, you know. Close.

Swiss -German. His first name is Arnaud.

Yeah, but believe me, selling biological weapons to organize crime is so him.

Here's what you do, Yuri. You go out.

You make contact, you ask to see the merchandise, right? If it gets hot in

there, run.

Da.

Good advice.

Thank you.

Da, let me ask you something. Do you really trust a guy in the Russian mafia?

Don't worry about it. He's ex -KGB.

Oh, I didn't know that. Sorry, I forget I said anything.

What are you doing? What are you doing?

Folks.

I'm craving something sour.

Yuri.

Or no.

Lovely day, my friend.

Nice to see you, Yuri.

Bright day.

Hello, Fox.

Fancy seeing you here.

Heck, you're dead.

See?

Now am I going to know you said that.

Huh? It's all right.

I'll give us both the embarrassment. Oh, yeah?

Oh, yeah?

Okay?

You okay?

There once was a story about a man who could turn invisible.

I thought it was only a story.

Until it happened to me.

Okay, so here's how it works. There's this stuff called quick silver that can

bend light.

Some scientists made it into a synthetic gland, and that's where I came in.

See, I was facing life in prison, and they were looking for a human

So, we made a deal.

They put the gland in my brain, I walk free.

The operation was a success, but that's where everything started to go wrong.

The three wise men known as the Beastie Boys once shouted out, it's time to get

ill. Hey.

Screw them.

Hey. Good morning, Tarion.

How are you feeling?

Crappy. Well, that's the desired effect of the Helena virus.

Type A flu. Big save for the terrorists due to its airborne infection rate.

Leave that in. Are you going to give me antibiotics? Because antibiotics make me

nauseous. I've got something much more effective.

Hey, how are you? What's going on? How you doing, folks?

Hello,

Bobby. How are you, Kiefer? What are you doing here? I came to see my partner,

that's all.

No, actually, I asked him to come by. Hey, Pops, what's the update?

Scores are no one, agency zero.

The position's compromised.

He knows we're on his trail. Yes, I was there.

What's our next move? I'll move Darian. Yuri got spooked, so we split, right? So

I figure we hit up some of the other potential buyers, see if we can get

in his whereabouts.

Good, good, good. We'll start tomorrow.

No, no, please, come on. I don't want to hear Darian. You're too sick. You're in

no condition. I mean, believe me, I ain't feeling better just thinking about

notes.

Kazuntai! You okay?

Oh, God, what are you guys doing here?

I came by to check up on my most valuable agent.

Offering emotional support.

What's the update on Arnaud? You know what? If you're going to go outside, I'm

going to get your temperature.

You leave this in this time and wait till I turn it on.

Most valuable agent? I mean, Fox.

What are you smiling at, Ebert?

Hey,

guys, please. Would everyone either just shut the hell up or leave? I mean, come

on, this place... Take cover.

Thank you.

Did you just sneeze quicksilver?

Is that bad?

Can I please

go home to my bed now?

Nope. Not until I figure out what's going on.

Come on, you already said it. Some Quicksilver got in my mucus passage. So

Please, don't listen to it.

God, where did you get this chair anyways?

It looks like it was built by a demented dentist.

How serious is this?

I need to draw some blood and check for an infection. No, come on, please.

Be a big boy and Quicksilver your arm for me.

Oof.

Oh, man.

Fox.

Oof. Oh, man. That is rank.

What does this mean?

The gland has the flu?

What does that mean?

I don't know.

I know what it means, and it is not good.

That is, like, nasty. Put that arm away.

When I find Arno, I'm going to take that smug smiley head and stuff it right

down his throat.

Dr. Halliday.

Got it.

What do you want?

You need two things, doctor.

Your fingers and your eyes.

You shouldn't be.

Thanks, Mom.

You have orders.

Let me explain something to you, okay? I'm not going to let a little touch of

the cold get in the way of me catching that Swiss Miss, motherfucker.

Fuck!

I appreciate the spirit. Just keep your distance, please. What the hell are we

doing here anyway, huh? Keep it down, all right? For who, huh?

What, for that guy? Would you stop it?

You know how organized crime uses restaurants as fronts for their

Yeah. This is the food court version. You got it?

Alex, what are you talking about? All right, look around.

I am. All right, you see all the counters?

These are outposts of different crime syndicates.

You got your triads here.

You got your Russian mafia at the KG Bistro.

Even the Costa Nostra's got a joint. This place is a no -man's land, folks.

Neutral zone.

Geneva Convention of the Underworld, my friend.

Would you come on? I'll show you.

There's a roller coaster here.

Two wonton specials, a couple of egg rolls with extra soy sauce.

Second thought, hold the wontons and sub the soy for sweet and sour.

For here or to go?

For here.

Who sent you?

FBI.

We got word from the Russians that the tribes are snapping up biological

from foreign dealers.

This is a warning to you and an opportunity for you to cooperate before

late.

Biological what?

Weapons. Don't test me.

Go back to the Russians, T -Man. I don't know what you're talking about. You

don't know what I'm talking about? He knows what I'm talking about. We're

looking for a guy named Arnaud. The phone.

The phone. Who?

Arnaud. The phone.

I don't know the guy.

You never heard of any of these guys?

No. What did I say? No.

You don't know any of them?

Hey, what do you stand on?

Hey, what do we want with biology weapons?

Maybe it's a status thing or something.

You never heard of him? I don't know the guy, all right? Hey, let's get out of

here, all right?

Well, you, you look familiar.

Yeah.

You used to run with Johnny Castanese's crew, right?

Am I right?

Am I right here about that?

I don't know. You know.

No. You don't.

No.

I don't believe you.

I don't believe him. He knows exactly what I'm talking about.

Two words.

Yuri Gagov.

What about him?

He's a fool.

He's a friend of mine.

We kicked him out last month.

If he doesn't pay back what he gambled away, we're going to take both his

as souvenirs.

I don't feel good. What's wrong? You don't like pierogi, huh? I don't like

pierogi?

The Eggwells, Fox.

His arms are frozen stiff. They're covered with the smelly sick silver. Get

in here now.

Got it.

Pete! Okay, okay. Lie him on the ground. Lie him on the ground. Get it off me!

I will. I will. I will. Deep breath.

Deep, deep breath.

Focus. Focus.

Not with that!

Only way.

Okay? Hold still.

All

right.

I'm going to explain.

Darian's condition has not improved.

What did the blood test say?

Oh, the pathology made one thing clear.

I don't know what we're dealing with.

What?

Darien has the flu, but it's not the Helena virus. It's some strain that I've

never even seen before.

I ran it through the CDC database, and they hadn't seen it either.

Yeah, I know what it is.

It's the old Arnaud special.

Yeah.

You should have seen it, boss.

Not pretty.

I want permission to check Darien into Fort Leavitt. No.

No way.

Excuse me, what is Fort Leavitt?

It's the standard procedure for this scenario.

Scenario? You guys got scenarios for this kind of thing?

Fort Leavitt is a hospital. Official spies, agents with top -level clearance

there and get checked out to be treated. So they don't spill the beans while

they're spilling blood, see?

Thanks, Hobbs. Now, I heard that's where they delivered the alien babies from

Area 51.

Hey, look.

Look, I can't treat Darian. I need him to be examined by a specialist. I don't

want anyone else examining him, no matter what their clearance.

Yeah, keep.

I mean, you know, what is a... What's another doctor going to know about me

you don't? Well, they might be able to identify the virus. They could suggest

antibody that's going to fight it.

I want to be quick silvers in front of them involuntarily.

Well, he's got a very good handle on that now, don't you, Darian?

Yeah.

But come on, I mean, who... Who knows when there'll be another attack, you

Well, which...

By the way, it reminds me, I think I... I need a little shot here.

I'm starting to suspect our friend Yuri.

I'm going to go track him down. I always have a little powwow.

Go ahead.

And by the way, I never trusted that guy. He was your friend.

That's nice. Could you do a little higher there?

What? I, uh... I don't think I should give you a shot.

Well, I don't know how the counteragent will affect you in this current

condition. It might make things worse.

Let's go to the hospital.

Go right ahead, sir.

Hello, everyone.

Who's being admitted?

Hi,

I'm Dr. Lewicki.

I'm not Derry Fox.

Doctor, this case and this patient are code ultraviolet.

Absolute secrecy. Yes, I've been informed. You have our full cooperation.

And you'll have ours. Hi, I'm Darian's doctor. I can help fill in any blanks.

Why don't we start with what's wrong?

I got the flu.

The flu?

What are your symptoms?

Uh, you know, uh...

Rooty nose, cough, and that's it.

Okay, uh, Darian, I need to get an idea of your history.

No, you don't. Yes, he does.

That's classified information.

Sir, this is just a routine questionnaire.

Are you prone to this type of illness?

No, not really.

But you've experienced it before?

No. Never had the flu?

Well, not with, uh, these...

types of symptoms.

You've never had a runny nose?

What he means is... Next question.

But I haven't finished with... Next question. I'll stop you when he can

one.

Have you ever had any surgery?

Next question.

Are you taking any regular medication?

Next question.

Are you allergic to any medication?

No.

I'll need to take a blood test.

Out of the question.

Will you excuse us?

I need these people to help me identify the virus. Now, I can't do that unless

they run his blood. His blood is saturated with quicksilver, and that is

classified.

Dr. Lewicki, I actually have a sample of Darian's blood. Perhaps we could look

at it together? You could help me identify the virus, maybe suggest an

Oh, I will have to...

Take it when we're through, however.

Well, I really should take a new sample, but if that's what you want... Oh,

dear.

I need to get him stabilized.

All right, all right. I need a 60cc pain drip with one glucose reattention.

There's a team on standby. I'll get the nurse.

Yuri, Yuri, Yuri.

You don't call, you don't write.

Hobbs, you're alive.

That's close enough, comrade.

What's wrong?

What's wrong?

I don't know. I've been doing some thinking.

About you.

About Arnaud. About that alley.

You mean the alley where you almost got shot? No.

The alley where I almost got shot.

Where Fawkes almost got shot. The alley where you skipped out of the kill zone

without even a scratch.

Only show up here to settle your gambling debt with the payoff money

you to set us up.

That alley.

That was just... Following your advice.

What advice is that, my friend?

When it gets hot, run.

Let me tell you.

You never run from Bobby Hart, you hear me? Ever!

Now, fess up.

Biological weapons, the whole deal was a setup, right?

Nah. Nah.

I don't know who paid me to leak you the tip.

Oh, yeah?

You wanted us in the alley, weren't you?

Not you.

Your friend Falk. Yeah, I don't believe it. Too much effort to kill someone.

Do you think I just got paid?

Looks bad.

Feels worse.

That's what they wanted for your friend, Fox.

What? Not to kill him. Just to make him sick. Very, very sick.

I can walk.

No, no, no, no, no. Relax,

son.

Just some oxygen.

We can all play.

We're going to take that nasty little gland right out of your head.

Well,

I'd say see you and wake up, but since that's not going to happen, I'll just

goodbye.

Start the clock.

Three minutes until the next security sweep.

I need time to retrieve my property.

Have the good Dr. Halliday grant us some privacy.

Retinal scan failed.

Please stand closer.

Thank you. A dead guy named Samuel Johnson said that disease begins that

equality which death completes.

I was finally about to become my brother's equal.

Moments like this would make it all the worse for him.

But it seems disease had other plans for me.

What's wrong?

You tell me.

I don't know.

Maybe your quicksilver gland has been affected by the influenza.

Are you telling me that the gland is sick?

Well, it seems that way. It's sort of... I don't need a

sick gland, right? I need a healthy, fully operational one. You're the

Quicksilver expert, not me.

I couldn't model a vector to avoid infecting something I've never seen.

You can't blame me for the result.

This is all your fault, Fox.

I should kill you for it.

I know.

We're off schedule. And we can't chance extraction. Let's just take him

someplace else.

They're making the second sweep of the premises.

Too late. They're long gone.

You didn't get a look at either of their faces?

No.

Where's Fox? I gotta... What's wrong with the key? Fox is gone.

Kidnapped. Vanished. Right from under our noses.

Already?

Excuse me?

It's Arnaud.

Arnaud. He's the only one who knew Fox would be here.

What are you talking about?

We thought we were after Arnaud, right?

Right. Negative.

Arnaud was after Fox.

There are no bioweapons.

The whole thing's a big scam just to make him sick.

He got Darian alive, alone, and in a hospital.

How the hell did Arnaud get access to this hospital?

This secure hospital.

Sir, with all due respect, Arnaud did infiltrate the I -Man project, and that

was very heavily secured at that time. What?

Well, I'm just saying he's very good.

You know, he's not good. He's actually not good at all. He's bad. He's

What?

Right. Access on this wing is controlled by thumbprint and retinal scanners.

Security mainframe is logged to Dr. Jerome Halliday as the last person in

He's the culprit.

Negative. He's the victim.

Check with your nurses.

I'm sure nobody's seen him here all day.

Bobby, I need you to find Darian before it's too late.

I'm going to go with you.

Darian's still sick, and I don't trust Arno to take care of him.

No kidding.

What are we going to do? We can't just feed them chicken soup and Sudafed and

hope our problems disappear.

Why not?

This is a designer virus. It has been designed to eventually kill its host.

Now we're running out of time. Oh, man. I just had the worst nightmare.

Never mind.

We didn't think things through.

I'll be with you in a minute, Fox. I think everything through. No, you think

things halfway through. You're a half -scientist, Arnaud. You need someone

to do the work so then you can take the credit. Now you've hoisted yourself on

your own batard.

It's a very effective way to win an argument.

I suggest you try it sometime.

I don't know if I've mentioned this before, but you are one sick bastard.

I'm a simple bastard, Fox.

I just want one thing.

And you're the sick one, remember?

So why don't you put me out of my misery?

You know, I mean, look, if you really want me dead, why don't you just do it

already, all right? Just, will you just do it, please?

Believe me, I'd love nothing more.

But taking a gland out of a dead body is much riskier than taking it out of a

sick one. Oh, well, I guess that explains why you were about to shoot me

uncle's cabin.

Well, at the time, I had your uncle's quicksilver notes tucked under my arm.

Now, without those or the project files or your brother, you're all that's left.

All right.

Okay, so why don't you just knock me out, you know, with a stun gun, baseball

bat? You know, what is it with all these complex plots, huh?

What is it? Is it a Swiss thing? Is that what it is? You know, I can't just walk

up to you and knock you out with a baseball bat. There are variables.

No, don't defend it, please.

You could turn invisible for what?

Please. All right, well, you just admit it.

Admit what?

You're ridiculous.

You are. I mean...

You join the Q -Gland design team just so you can steal the design?

You make me think Kevin's alive so I can lead you to some files?

Hey, buddy, you could have found on your own with a little research.

Then you give me the fluke as what? What, so I can wind up in some hospital

and you can take the gland out? I mean, douche.

Rube Goldberg has got nothing on you, pal.

I don't see you doing anything better.

Oh, I got a plan.

Really? Yeah, my plan is to take you out, and when I do, it'll be real

Continue. All right.

Hurry

up.

You're holding us up now.

Five minutes. Here, watch these very carefully.

What is this stuff anyways? It's a sample of every antibody from Fort

vaccination lab. Daria needs one of them. I just have to find out which.

you need to go to your house for?

All my old viral vector research.

You know, you're wasting time, Claire.

You're not going to be able to heal him if we don't get to him fast.

Do you know what?

Here, here, here.

I'm going to take these.

You go ahead.

I'm going to catch a cab.

Well, now you're mad at me now?

Claire.

What? You want me to come up with you?

No.

All right, fine.

It's fine. I'll just wait here.

Hello.

I don't believe we've had the pleasure.

Well, last time we were in a room together, you jammed a hypodermic gun in

neck.

Right. The work of my very rude colleague. We've since parted ways.

Which is what brings me here, actually. Isn't that right, Pavlov?

You see, it may not seem like it, but we both want the same thing.

Doubt that.

Really? You don't want Fox to get better?

Just in time for you to cut him up? No, not really.

Okay.

I'm not very good at asking for anything, but I need your help, and I

you want to help Fox, so what I'm suggesting is that we work together. Put

our differences, please.

Do I have a choice?

Of course. Feel free to say no at any time. Speaking of time... He doesn't

much left.

Leave my dog. Leave.

Hide and seek.

Are you all right?

Headache.

Well, we've got a lot of work to do.

Forgive the mess.

You've got a counteragent.

Yeah, I own the copyright.

Now, tell me what you're doing to cure Fox.

It's too late for a vaccine.

I don't need one.

I'm going to feed antibodies directly into his immune system.

You want to play remedy roulette with him?

It's not very responsible.

That's the way to find the right one.

Who do you think you are, Kevin Fox?

How?

Answer one question first. You've got to be kidding.

It's about counteragent.

Still copying the recipe, are we?

I've made headway into the construct.

Of course.

It's very complex.

Naturally. I'm not paying you a compliment. I need to know if the flu

affects the base of the counteragent. Tell me, were you surprised to find that

the base was organic?

Answer the question.

You know, you're dealing with the balance of toxic substances, one element

of place, and... Answer the question.

Ladies first.

He's getting more sick.

His eyes are red.

Well, that's a very good observation.

Yeah.

You must be the one they all write home about, huh?

Cold start for Thuggo.

Damn.

You guys are big, huh?

Yeah, but you know what they say.

The bigger they are, the dumber they look.

Yo, what's your name, sweet pea?

Volt.

Volt. What? What? That is your name? What?

Where are you from, McKee?

Yo. Your mama was a futa.

Hold your tongue. Yeah.

Why don't you hold it for me, bitch?

No!

Bring it on.

Well, now you better give me the answer for both our sakes.

Like I said before, you first.

You are such a child.

Do you have the original strain of the virus?

Yes.

You match the viral proteins of the original strain with the antibodies.

Whichever one mimics the synthetic peptides must be the imaging with the

value. You are certainly not Kevin Ford.

Certainly not.

By the way, say hello to him, Ford.

Yeah.

Tag, you're dead.

Darian, wait!

I win.

What goes around, goes around.

Remember this.

Give me a little touch of this. as he's waiting for the flow.

Darian, Darian, I need Arno to help me cure you.

He's a little busy right now.

If you kill him, you will not survive.

As long as he goes first.

Fine, fine, fine. Kill him, but kill him later. Right now, you could trash his

place.

You do not tell me what to do.

I am so sick of you manipulating me.

Let me explain something for you.

If I want to trash his place.

There's a really obnoxious sculpture in the foyer.

If you don't give me the answer now, I swear I will turn him loose on you

Counter -aging won't be affected. You can piggyback a dose on the antigen.

It will spread quicker.

Where's the original strain?

Draw.

And after we're done here, we are going to talk about improving counteragent.

Do me a favor.

Keep him healthy for me.

Ob -ming.

Darian's safe. We need you to come get her.

I just don't understand what you're trying to say here.

I'm just saying, when I saw the white was cut, I got worried.

Yeah, but you know that I can handle myself.

Did I say you can't handle yourself? I know you can handle yourself. I didn't

say that.

I'm just saying, you know, I get a little... I do look good in those pants.

Bobby! Hey, I didn't know you guys were out back, huh? You have a little garage

sale here? Okay, what are you doing here? You were meant to be at home,

What are you talking about? It's been a day and a half.

Those Atlanta buddies you gave me are working great. Yes, well, you need to

your body time to clear itself out.

Oh, I'm clear.

See?

Oh.

Show off.

Hey, did you guys find anything?

Besides what you smashed?

Sure.

Oh, I think our friend Arnaud wasn't considered enough to leave us any clue.

Come on, there's got to be something. Hey, did you talk to this bodyguard?

muscle.

Didn't know anything.

Literally.

How about the land? Did you check it?

Oh, it's way too small to be his main workshop. I think this place is more

Arnaud's holiday house.

Hey.

What's the matter?

I had him, man. Well, you had him. I had him right here. Right there in your

hands. You had him, Joe. Well, you had him, but you got small hands.

That's what I'm saying. What happened?

Hey.

About to hurt.

Hey, I hate to remind you, but if it wasn't for Arnaud, you would still be

right now, all work.

He got away.

A little old lady named Mother Teresa once said that the biggest disease today

isn't leprosy or tuberculosis, but the feeling of being unwanted.

See, I don't have that condition.

Everybody wants a piece of me for something.

But the next time I catch up with Arno, I'm going to give him exactly what he

wants.

A piece of my mind.
