Original subtitles

- You gonna stand there all night or you gonna let me in?

- Come in.

Stop.

Turn around.

Alright, come on.

Come on.

- Clean.

Clean and beautiful.

I never imagined that the lotus be more beautiful

than the real flower.

I'm Guy.

- Are we gonna do this or what?

You wouldn't want a little foreplay

before the transaction?

- I've got places to be.

- There's the goods.

Where's the money?

- Come on, go.

- Spinning our wheels here

with some of these recruits,

they're good though,

but they, they lack experience.

- She has field experience,

is dedicated and has been working intel on LaFleur

for four years.

- She speaks French as well.

- Native tongue.

- You think she has what it takes?

I heard she had to take some time off.

- She's past that now.

- Okay.

- Come with me, Agent Chen.

You can relax, the mission was a success.

Thanks to your intel,

we now have Nikolai in custody

and know the location of Marcel's next deal.

- That's excellent news.

- The man who just left here is Mr. White.

He runs a specialised unit.

I believe you applied some years ago.

- Yes ma'am, that's right.

- A sting operation on Marcel is

to take place tomorrow at sunrise.

He believes you should take the lead.

- Me, ma'am?

- Who better else to bring this home?

- I dunno what to say.

- You say yes.

This is your chance.

I get it.

Work life balance isn't easy.

What we do here, Lily, is hard

and it requires sacrifice.

- Hey babe, all set.

I cannot wait

to get some peace and quiet away from the city's chaos.

- Yeah, it's gonna be great.

- Everything okay?

You seem a bit off.

- Oh no, it's nothing,

- Huh? - Wow.

- Got a new one.

A Buddhist walks into a bar

and he says, can you make me one with everything?

- Okay, okay. - Because he's a Buddhist.

You like music?

- No. - CDs?

- No.

- Did you move my ladder?

Because you need it.

- Why?

- To get on my level.

So my boss reached out with the idea

of me starting to work remotely.

What do you think?

Could get outta the city.

Reduce our expenses.

Besides if we did that we can even make do on one salary.

Okay, Lil spill it.

Something is off.

It's not you taking a step back.

- I know, but they want me to take the lead on this.

You know how important that is to me.

- Was.

- I've been tracking LaFleur for years.

- You've been gathering intel, Lily.

And you've done an incredible job.

But why not let someone else take it from here?

You in the field.

Hey.

We've been down this road before.

- This is different. - How?

- If things go well,

maybe I finally get my shot.

- Let me tell you how this plays out.

You with the insane hours, the late nights

and me here waiting.

I don't wanna wait anymore.

- This is about more than just me or us.

It's about creating a safer place for our future family.

- I need to take a walk.

Don't wait up.

- John.

John.

- Ta-da.

It's tradition.

I get one at the start of the journey.

You get one at the end.

- Hello?

- Who?

Who are you?

- John, is that you?

- What's your name?

- What? - You're name!

- John.

John Richardson.

- John!

- And what am I holding in my hand, John?

- I, I don't know.

What am I?

- What am I holding?

- You're holding

a hammer.

- Agent Chen,

do I have your attention?

- Who is this?

- If you want to see your husband alive,

follow my instructions.

You have 10 minutes to reach the address I'm sending you.

If you do anything but what I ask, John dies.

- John.

- Congratulations, Lily.

You made it here in record breaking time.

- What do you want from me?

- In the backseat, you'll find two bags.

Open the one on the left.

A meet is about to take place between a contact

who goes by the alias Lotus and a man named Guy.

- Guy, as in LaFleur's enforcer?

- Precisely.

You are to play a role.

Lotus is a contact that Guy has never met.

Your task is to gain his trust

and when the moment is right, eliminate him.

- No, no.

Forget it, I'm not doing that.

- I think you will

if you value John's life.

Go to the furniture store.

Knock four times.

- Mr. Chairman.

Sorry to keep you waiting.

- Marcel, you wanted to see me?

- I did.

Well, aren't you gonna say anything?

How about my house?

- Oh, very nice.

- Not impressed.

Follow me.

- Actually, I think I--

After you.

- Not many people get to see this.

- You paint?

- We call it a hug.

This is my latest creation.

A reflection of the city, wouldn't you agree?

- Oh yeah, sure.

- But then again,

one can only paint with the colours they're given.

And you, my friend,

have not been giving me the right colours.

- Marcel, I have no--

- Ah.

- Yes?

- Lily, I gotta admit, you impressed me tonight.

I knew you had it in you to kill.

- No, that that was self-defense.

- Really?

I'm sure Director Bass would second that.

- Why are you doing this?

- I have my mission

and you are most suited for it.

- I did what you asked, now let John go.

- You've made a start, but we're not done yet.

Two more targets remain.

You will finish them by dawn.

- I won't do it.

- Let's ask John about that, shall we?

John?

What am I holding right now?

- It's a hacksaw.

- And how does it look, this hacksaw?

- It's rusty.

And it's dull.

- Wait, no, stop please.

- How does that feel?

- Okay, wait, okay, I'll do it.

Just please stop hurting him.

- There's a good girl.

I'll send you another address.

Now take a breath, you have a long night ahead.

- Any leads on Guy's, death?

- Not as of yet.

We've taken a handful of his thugs into custody.

- Well, what's the current story?

- Looks like a drug deal went sideways.

Found Guy dead, scissors lodged in his neck

right next to a mattress brimming with cocaine.

- Could this be linked to the upcoming deal with Marcel?

- That's still uncertain.

- Okay.

Get agent Chen in here.

- I don't believe Chen's in, ma'am.

- Hello?

- Agent Chen, are you on your way in?

- I'm not coming in, ma'am.

- What do you mean you're not coming in?

- Something came up.

It's personal.

- We just found Marcel's main muscle dead.

I need you here now.

- I am sorry,

but I just can't.

- You realise you're putting

your entire career on the line?

- I understand.

- You've been a bad girl, Lily.

You spoke to your boss.

I told you not to alert the authorities.

- I had to get her off my case.

Otherwise, the entire agency would be looking for me.

- Fine, I believe you for now.

But keep in mind, disobedience will cost

John more than a finger next time.

- I wanna talk to John.

- No, no, not until you finish the next task.

Take the other bag from the backseat.

- Okay, I have it.

- Open it.

Now get dressed.

Your next target is Jimmy Chen.

Are you familiar with him?

- Yes.

He's the head of LaFleur's money laundering operations.

- Correct.

Jimmy frequents a club named Zen.

Infiltrate the club, drop the pill into his drink

and exit through the back door.

- That's suicide.

Every Triad in the city hangs out in there.

- I have faith in you.

Put in the earpiece

and I'll guide you through it.

- How am I supposed to find him?

No one even knows what he looks like.

- In the bag, you'll find a necklace

with a hidden camera.

Put it on.

I'll be your eyes in the club.

As long as you do your part, John will be just fine.

Remember, if you wanna survive blend in.

You might find it useful to order a drink

and pretend to relax.

- Vodka martini please.

- I doubt the people here use the word "please".

- Shaken or stirred?

- Just give me the fucking drink.

- That's more like it.

What's wrong?

- That's Chau Wong.

I arrested him five years ago.

- Then we'll have to move fast.

Start walking around the club.

I'll tell you where to find Jimmy.

- So what's your end game in all this?

Remove some rivals?

Maybe take over the LaFleur's throne?

- Amusing, but no,

my intentions are far more interesting.

- Spoken like a true mastermind.

- Careful Agent Chen.

You of all people should know the dangers

of a kidnapping.

Eyes right.

You may find an individual of interest.

- That's Jimmy?

- Don't be fooled by his boyish good looks.

Now find a way to get close.

- Sorry.

So sorry.

- Quite a cosy setup you got here, Jimmy.

- LaFleur,

you shouldn't be here.

- What's happening?

- It's LaFleur.

He's here.

- You're sure it's him?

- We have a problem.

A mutual friend, Guy met an untimely end tonight.

- I had nothing to do with that.

- I'm sure.

- Didn't say you did.

- Get closer.

- But it seems I got a leak and I need to plug it.

- Plug it how?

- There's two types of people

that could have done this,

both work for me.

The ones on the streets or the ones in power.

- What's your point?

- My money isn't safe and I want it moved tonight.

- You know I can't do that.

- You know what will happen if you don't?

- You're threatening me?

- Watch it, LaFleur.

You're in my territory now.

- You've been made.

You're out of time.

Kill him now!

- I knew it was you.

- Fuck.

- Who are the people in power working for LaFleur?

- End it now, Lily.

- Kill my whole family.

- Kill him.

Kill him!

- Tell me or else.

- Please, no.

Not again.

- Lily.

Lily.

Get to your car.

- Just gimme the next target.

- Your next target is Nikolai Petrov.

- The mission was a success.

We now have Nikolai in custody.

- A trusted member of Marcel's inner circle.

Nikolai has with him information vital to Marcel.

- Thanks to your intel,

the location of Marcel's next deal.

- He's retreated to a safe house

outside Marcel's reach.

- We already extracted that information.

- Oh, I'm not talking about that.

- Then what?

- Let's just say there's part of the puzzle

you're better off not knowing.

Your mission now is to retrieve the intel held by Nikolai

and then take him out before Marcel does.

- I'm gonna need a weapon this time.

- You'll find what you need in the trunk.

- Send me the address.

- Well, I'm afraid

I don't have that information.

Isn't gathering intel your forte?

- There are rumours

they are going after my organisation.

Stick to the plan.

If I'm right, which I usually am,

I know exactly where they'll go next.

- Try this.

No?

- I need you here.

Lily?

What's going on?

- I need to talk to you, ma'am.

- Who is she?

- Just a government agent.

Lily Chen.

Lily Chen.

Fuck.

Pull it out!

- Your turn, love.

- What do we do about that agent?

- Did you find Nikolai?

- Oui.

- Then leave the rest to me.

- Looking a little bruised.

Everything okay?

- I don't want to get into that.

- Does this have something to do with

John?

- No.

I'm here to resign.

- You've just got the position you've always wanted

and you're resigning?

You should sleep on this.

- I have.

I've made up my mind.

- Where's this coming from?

- That's none of your business.

- With all due respect, Lily,

what the fuck's gotten into you?

- I need to take this.

- Now?

- I have to go.

- Lily!

- That was risky what you did.

I hope you didn't do anything rash,

for John's sake.

- You told me to figure it out, so that's what I did.

- Fair enough.

I trust you realise LaFleur's mobilised against you.

Don't underestimate him.

- Status? - All clear.

- Check it again.

- Copy that.

- Shit.

- Hey,

knock it off.

- Hey, hey, hey, don't shoot.

Who are you?

Hello?

- She is here. - Marcel wants her alive.

- We need to get you outta here.

- I don't understand.

- You will when Marcel's people put a bullet in your head.

- Okay.

- Let's go.

Shit.

- Over here.

Move it.

Move it, move it.

- Come on.

Come on.

Go.

- You're tapped.

- Shut up.

- Ha ha, no, no, no, no.

- Shit.

- Marcel

wants you alive.

How about we settle this the old fashioned way?

- How about I put two in your chest?

- It might be hard with no bullets.

We'll make it fair.

- Make me come.

- Your girlfriend isn't joining us?

- She likes to watch.

- Oh yeah.

Romeo!

- Harder.

- Harder?

- Make it harder.

- I can make it harder.

I'll make it harder.

- Oh yeah.

Oh yeah.

- Harder.

Come on, give it to me.

Oh yeah.

- Okay.

I know who you are,

who you work for.

- Give me the intel on Marcel.

- What intel?

- Wait.

You have no idea what they're capable of.

- Little late to be worrying about that.

- Fine.

I'll tell you.

Marcel, he's linked to your agency.

- I already know that.

Why are you hiding?

What do you have on him?

- I'm not hiding, you idiot.

Huh, don't you get it?

Marcel wanted me here.

He wanted me to tell you and I did, spoon fed you.

- What are you saying?

- It was a diversion

for him and your people to do the real exchange.

Yeah.

- Where?

- Oh, that's above my pay grade.

- You better ask for a raise.

- Oh, okay.

Is private compound just north of the city.

Greater Road.

That's all I know.

- Well, Nikolai,

I guess you're no longer of use to me.

- No, no, no, no.

Please.

- Is it done?

- It is.

- You disappoint me, Lily,

and your husband will pay for it

- If you hurt him, I'll kill you.

- Like you did Nikolai?

- I'm warning you.

- Hey Lily.

- John?

- And next time-- - John!

- Oh, you can scream better than that.

Come on, Lily.

- Stop.

Stop.

- Come on, Lily, you can do this.

- Stop. - John's banging you to.

How that feel John?

Come here, you little fuck.

- I'm sorry.

- Come on, Lily.

He's calling for you.

Lily.

It had to be done.

Lily.

Lily.

Are you listening?

Lily,

are you listening?

You see, you just needed a bit of motivation.

There's a storage device on him.

A USB key, retrieve it.

- Boss.

- Lily,

do you have the key, Lily?

- Yes, I have it.

- Good job.

Now drop it off at the location I'm sending you now.

- What's on it?

- Information tying Marcel

to officials and members of your agency who are corrupt.

Seems Marcel thought it was best

to hide it right under their noses.

- What are you gonna do with it?

- Let's just say

justice will be served.

- After I do this,

you'll let John go?

- We'll discuss your husband's fate

once you've completed the task.

- So my boss reached out with the idea

of me starting to work remotely.

Get outta city.

Why aren't you excited?

Did you move my ladder?

- Why? - To get on my level.

Hey, look at me, look at me.

You're good. - Yeah.

- You're deviating from the path, Lily.

- I wanna talk to John.

- That's not how this fucking works.

- That's how it's gonna work now

or I'm about to toss this USB out the fucking window.

- Fine.

- Lily.

Lily, is that you?

- John?

- I'm so scared, baby.

I don't, I don't even know where I am.

- I am so sorry, John.

- What?

- For everything.

- What are you saying?

- For making you feel isolated, for--

- Please, Lily.

- Work always coming first, and--

- What?

- All right.

Bring him here.

- For not being able to save you.

- Come here, John.

- I can't save you, John.

- Time's up.

- But I need you to know that I love you more than anything.

- Say goodnight, John.

- John!

I love you, John.

- What are you planning, Lily?

We don't have time for this.

- You thought you had me all figured out, didn't you?

Really did your research.

- Don't do this.

- You knew what kidnapping John would do to me.

That I could bear see him go through what I went through.

- Lily, we can work this.

- You thought I'd fall in line

if I believe justice was being served.

- Think about this, Lily.

- Well, you're not some vigilante.

My guess is you're one of the names on this key.

- Okay, Lily, I'm warning you.

- No, I'm warning you.

Once I'm done here,

I'm coming for you.

So you better find a good hiding spot, motherfucker.

- What do we do if she interferes?

- Hello?

Lily.

Lily?

Lily?

What the hell?

- I'm sorry.

I need to know I can trust you.

- Trust me?

- Hands up.

Sit down.

- You have a lot of explaining to do.

- How long have we known each other?

- I don't know, seven, eight years.

- Nine.

- Okay, nine.

- In those nine years, have you ever known me to lie?

- No.

- Deceive? - No.

- Break the law? - No.

Lily, it's me, Cindy, you can talk to me.

- You know when I was kidnapped,

the uncertainty,

the fear,

it changed me,

changed us, John and I.

- I can imagine.

- You never really get over something like that.

It does something to you.

Leaves a scar.

When I got out,

I was lost.

If it hadn't have been for John.

- Where are you going with this?

If you need help,

we can get that.

- Cindy,

you're not gonna like this.

- This

sounds

almost unbelievable.

You're telling me that John's dead,

that you,

you killed Guy?

- I was manipulated,

but I'm here now and I wanna make it right.

- Manipulated by who?

- My current guess is someone in power,

maybe within our own agency.

That's why I had to be careful.

- How sure are you?

- This sure.

- Okay.

I understand.

I'll be right in.

The sting is already underway.

- We have to warn them.

- Leave it to me.

You've done enough for tonight.

- No.

- Nikolai gave me the location of Marcel's compound.

He's gonna slip away.

- This isn't something you can handle on your own.

I'll take the intel to HQ.

I'll call you when I have an update.

Lily.

- Don't you get it?

Marcel wanted me here.

- There's two types of people that could have done this.

One's on the streets

or the ones in power.

- Are the people in power working for LaFleur?

- You don't want to know.

- Does this have something to do with John?

- It was a diversion for him and your people

to do the real exchange.

- The man who just left here is Mr. White.

He owns a specialised unit.

He believes you should take a lead.

- You think she has what it takes?

- Mr. White?

- One of your agents keeps crossing paths with me.

One might take that as an attempt on my life.

- What agent?

- What?

- Don't play dumb.

- You're making a mistake.

- Shh.

- No.

I'm gonna kill you.

Ma'am Why am I here?

I was supposed to be debriefing.

- You are,

but it's me who'll be doing the debriefing.

Have a look.

- What is this?

- Aren't you least bit curious, Lily?

- I don't understand.

- You will if you have a seat.

As you can see, John is fine.

He was never in danger.

- How is this possible?

- AI was used to simulate his voice.

- Why?

- Well, some would say motivation,

but mostly to see if you can function

in extreme circumstances.

- You mean a test?

- Exactly.

Not only did you pass,

you excelled.

- According to who?

- The division you applied to.

It operates in the shadows

using unconventional tactics

to gain valuable intelligence

and bring criminals to justice as you've done.

- But I killed people.

I broke the law.

- Like I said, unconventional.

- Mr. White.

- He works for me.

It's my unit, Lily.

- You put me through this?

You wanted Marcel dead?

- No.

I wanted his intel without anyone knowing of its existence.

Marcel's death was

well, happy byproduct.

- A happy fucking byproduct?

- I apologise for the theatricality of it all,

but it was necessary.

- You profiled me,

John, kidnapping.

You knew I'd bring the intel to you.

- I made an educated guess

that you can complete the mission.

Yes.

- You used me.

- What we do is hard

and requires sacrifice.

Remember,

you applied to the division.

- So what now?

- Now,

you have to make a choice.

You can join my team,

the real team.

I always knew you were capable.

Now you've proven it.

But I'll demand even more of you.

Your marriage.

John can never know the truth,

or

you can return to your life.

- But due to your knowledge

of our organisation and activity,

you'll no longer be able to at the agency

and you'll be under surveillance for the rest of life.
