You should always
be careful what you wish for.

There was a time when all I ever
wanted was to be a better boxer.

But I got a lot more
than I wished for.

In so many ways, boxing is just an
accepted way of hurting others.

Perhaps that was all
I ever wanted from it.

Hey.

Yeah?

I see you've been
working out pretty hard.

Well, I try.

You lost it a bit
with that punchbag.

You saw that?

You're not professional,
are you?

No.

You could be.

- Look, I'm not sure...
- I have something that can help.

- Like what?
- Would you be interested?

- Maybe. But, depends...
- Here.

Call me.

If you're interested.

Okay, thanks.

I have to go.

Get in touch.

How did it go?

Fine.

Is the bait
on its way to him?

Yes.

Show me.

Want to try one?

Don't be funny.

The joke's not on you, Jaeger.

This is the last thing
I'll ask of you.

Time is running out.

He isn't going to like it.

He'll have to earn his place.

What we'll put him through
will mold him.

You'll get what you want.

Be careful with those.

They're shipping
them off tomorrow.

I want them looking presentable.

Whoops.

Mr. Fader?

Speaking.

Ah. It's you I met
outside the gym.

Yeah.

Did you get my gifts?

Did they work for you?

Yeah, I think so.

You know,
I'd really like some more.

When do you want them?

Whenever you can drop 'em.

Fine.

This all feels so sudden.

Sudden for us maybe.

But not for Kaufman.

He's asked me to keep an eye
on the new recruit.

Get him through this.

You know who found him,
don't you?

Yes. It was her, wasn't it?

That must be
why Kaufman hired her.

Why else would he hire
someone so young?

I don't know that age has ever
mattered in this business.

Some of us started young.

No, I think he's just
moving things forward,

and bringing her in
was part of that.

He's delivered in a way that
means more than you realize.

If Kaufman wants advice,
he'll go to her.

She's earned his trust.

But has she earned yours?

I trust Kaufman.

What the fuck are you doing?

You called earlier.

The front door was open. I
thought it best to just come in.

Is that okay, Stanley?

How do you know my name?

You told me outside the gym.

Don't you remember?

No, I don't remember.

What do you do exactly?

I'm unemployed.

I was a surgical assistant.

And?

And I got laid off recently.

Well, what kind of work
are you looking for?

What makes you ask that?

Maybe I could help you again.

May have a job for you.

Interesting place you have here.

Are you sure the door was open?

Yeah. Do you live alone?

Why did you send me that stuff?

Thought you might appreciate it.

Fine. But why me?
Why not somebody else?

Couple of reasons.

I wanted to test them.

And I wanted to test you.

Why?

Do you know
what you've been taking?

Steroids.

Well, I assume
they've been working for you.

I think so.

Good.

Now, as I was saying,
I may have some work for you.

- Work that should interest you.
- Who makes it?

I do.

What?

I'm a scientist. Chemist.

Don't worry.
I'm fully qualified.

Look, this stuff's
giving me paranoia.

I'm getting mood swings.

I can't go on like that.

I have a lot of clients
come to me

with stories of counterfeit anabolic
steroids being sold to them,

without the desired effects.

Sometimes they have
no active ingredients at all.

Sometimes they were meant
for animals.

Didn't you say
you make these yourself?

Yes.

- Do you play?
- What?

Do you have anything
for me or not?

This should sort you out.

It's just for show.
Don't worry.

That's the best I've got.

It's a combination
of Sustanon 250,

Deca-Durabolin
and Stanozolol.

You'll be able
to train much harder.

It'll help you build up
your muscle mass,

recover from any
strenuous exercise faster.

That's as good as it gets.

Right.

Still interested?

Yeah.

Good.

How much?

Nothing.

I can't accept this.

Think of it as a trial.

Give me a call.

Let me know the results.

I'll see myself out.

Are you okay?

It's nothing.

Let's toast.

Another one.

To the success
of new recruits.

Yes.

Prost.

Yeah?

Hey, Fader.

Listen, I can hardly hear you.
I'm underground.

Can we continue
this conversation in person?

I'll send you the address.

Bye for now.

Hello, Stan.

Can I sit down?

Please.

Coffee?

Looks like you could use one.

No, thanks.

- Just a glass of water.
- Water?

Fine.

I need another dose.

Another one?

I think
what you need is sleep.

No.

I need another...

I won't give you anything else
for nothing, Stanley.

Look at you.
You're exhausted.

What you need
is a good night's sleep.

You've been spending
too much time on your own.

And at that gym.

How much for some more?

A lot.

Looks like they're closing up.

Don't worry.
I know the owner.

If you can't afford it,
we can make a deal.

I give you what you want...

if you do something for me.

What do you want me to do?

You can have
whatever you want, Stanley.

Just order whatever you want.

I'll be in touch.

I give you what you want...

if you do something for me.

Good morning.

You ready for that trade-off?

- Yeah.
- Good.

My employer
would like to meet you.

He likes to be
introduced personally.

What do you need me to do?

I'll see you soon, Stanley.

I've spoken to him.

He's on his way.

Okay. I'll see you there.

How are you feeling?

Not bad for a dying man.

He'll be here soon.

I can go down with you,
if you like.

Not today.

Make that call now.

Fine.

I don't want any problems here
when he arrives.

Sure.

I'll be there. Okay.

So, tell me,
how did it go?

It went well.

As you predicted.

Try not to be nervous.

Was there much begging?

Too much.

Right.

We turned the whole
place over as you asked.

Fader even got to test his
new serum with good results.

So, despite the short planning,

interrogations were rewarding.

And the documents?

She'll bring them.

Good.

I just hope he's up to this...

- This boy.
- If everything fails...

I know I can rely on you.

I won't let it fail.

I should get down
to the basement.

See where Fader's got to with the next shipment.

Haven't you got things
to get on with in the basement?

Do you never shut up?

Is he ready to see us?

Be patient, Fader.

I'm always patient.

He's busy at the moment.

He might be
a while then.

Well, you
don't mind, do you, Fader?

You're always patient.

Get off me.

What's all this?

Just passing the time.

Welcome.

- I'm Kaufman.
- Stanley.

Have a seat.

I can't tell you more
than these two men can.

But I wanted
to meet you anyway.

I'll be going.

Don't be offended by Jaeger.
He's always distant.

He'll be watching out for you.

He knows how things are run.

- Is this your company?
- Hmm.

Now tell me about yourself.

- What would you like to know?
- Who you are.

What has landed you here?

Well, I agreed to help Fader
out, he's doing me a favor.

Fader tells me
you're an avid boxer.

Yeah, I enjoy it.

I used to box a lot
when I was young.

I always found it therapeutic.

Yeah.

Are your family happy
with your career?

It's not a career.

Not yet anyway.

And I don't have a family.

Not even parents?

I was raised
in a children's home.

An orphan.

You never met your parents?

Well, my file said that
my mother, a waitress,

was murdered.

I don't remember.

I'm sorry.

They never told you
what happened?

Apparently, it was the manager of
the place where she was working.

They didn't catch him.

And your father?

There's no record
of my father.

Their relationship
can't have been serious,

or else I'm sure he would've
dealt with that killer.

Perhaps he did.

I remember my father.

A man harmed by the harshness
of his upbringing.

I looked up to him.

But I dealt with him.

He gave me his gun
and I took it.

The least I could do.

One old man suffering,

wasting away
in his ivory tower.

Taught me everything I know.

"A good scare is worth more
to a man than good advice."

I shot him. And he fell.

The toughest moment
of my file.

He always said,

"the greatest exercise for the heart
is to bend down and help another up."

You are 25 years old?

Yeah.

You should have a family
around you, Stan.

Hard to miss
what you've never had.

I understand.

Well, Fader will tell you
what to do,

if he hasn't done already.

He's always very thorough.

The clients
you would be dealing with

are not
very good people, Stanley.

They deserve
what's coming to them.

Just do what you're asked.

And don't stop
to feel sorry for them.

Right.

Good luck, Stanley.

Let's take a walk.

We have a lot
to go over before tonight.

As I said before,

you'll be doing very little.

But I need you to stay sharp.

I wanna know more
about this job.

What does he mean, "Don't
stop to feel sorry for them"?

What we do isn't always easy.

Don't worry.

You'll get used to it
soon enough.

Come on, let's go.

You ready?

Come.

How's the questioning going?

It's very tense in there.

Jaeger would like
to see Stan now.

He's gonna need you there
as well.

Fine.

Here.

Thanks.

Why does Jaeger wanna see me?

Probably just to brief you.

I have been briefed.

So, you've been
briefed, have you?

You better go
straight in then.

Just remember
that nobody is innocent.

And we all deserve
what's coming to us.

After you, Stanley.

You need to stop talking.

Why am I here?

I want answers from you,
not questions.

Don't test my patience.

I don't have any answers!

I was dragged into this mess.

No, you thought you could use
people to your own ends.

I haven't done anything.

Just let me go!

You see that?

That was not an answer.

Please!

I don't know anything.

You're going to drive me
to extreme measures.

This is getting tiresome.

Please.

Please let me go.

Go where?

I don't know.

There is nowhere
for you to go.

Aren't you tired of running?

Please.

- Let me go.
- What's wrong?

I feel sick.

I can't stay here.

You haven't
even seen the finale.

Get him.

Wait. Didn't you
make an agreement?

Hey!

Is anyone there?

Anyone!

Let me go.

This wasn't
what I agreed to. I...

I don't understand what you
people think you're doing.

We're giving you
an opportunity.

To do what?

To prove yourself.

I don't understand.

I'm an old man, Stanley.

I don't have very long.

And I want peace of mind.

I have good people
working for me.

But they are not like me.

Where do I fit in?

You're driven.

You just need direction.

Is this meant to be direction?

"A good scare is worth more
to a man than good advice."

I see.

Do you?

No.

Well, a closed mind
is worth losing, Stanley.

Just untie me.

Why don't you just break free?

Shut up and stop
playing these games.

Why did you
leave the interrogation?

It was disgusting.

The first job
is always the hardest.

Even when
you're just watching.

"Power comes with a price."

You will learn this.

It's wrong.

Why didn't you help the man
if it was so very wrong?

"The greatest exercise
for the heart

to bend down
and help another up."

You forgot your gun.

It's not my gun anymore.

Can you just
let me out of here?

I'm not sure you've upheld
your part of our agreement.

All I agreed was to help you

in return for something I didn't
even ask for in the first place.

You came to me.

Remember?

I couldn't stomach
what you people do

I just wanted to leave.
That was all.

Give me those keys.

You'll learn to stomach it.

Hey!

What do you want from me?

Pick it up.

What are you waiting for?

Do it.

It's your only way out.

You can take that
if you want to.

He doesn't need it anymore.

Well?

He hit you, then ran.

Did he see you move?

I think he bought it.

But he didn't
pass the test.

He didn't pull the trigger.
He was too weak to act.

He retaliated.

That's what's important.

None of us ever failed
the training games.

I heard one of us did.

Who?

No one present.

Today wasn't a failure.

It just didn't go
exactly as planned.

We need to find him.

He's locked it from inside.

Then break it down.

At least we gave him a scare.

But he didn't snap like we predicted.
He was more controlled.

Our work isn't finished.

He'll try to leave the city.

I want you to stop him.

Do whatever it takes.

You're driven.

You just need direction.

It's not my gun anymore.

The number you
have dialed has not been recognized.

Please check and try again.

The number you have dialed
has not been recognized.

Please check and try...

Let him go.

He has no choice now.

We're running out of time.

Stanley's initiation
hasn't gone according to plan.

So now...

it's your move.

- No.
- Yes.

Don't act like
you're not a part of this.

We've hurt him enough.

Stanley didn't choose this,
he just got reeled in.

He took on a bait.

And it served its purpose.

But we don't have time
to allow Stanley

to indulge his pipe dreams
any longer.

We need to take
a different approach.

I'm still surprised
he was so susceptible.

His inexperience couldn't see
beyond his immediate needs.

He didn't recognize that in
order to gain physical strength

he needed mental discipline.

That's why he believed
what Fader gave him.

It's a shame we didn't
approach in another way.

Kaufman wanted to see
how he'd react.

I thought he would've pulled the
trigger on you after what happened.

I hoped he would.

Still, we can only
move forwards.

Yes.

I think he deserves
to choose for himself.

Does he have a choice anymore?

I think he'll realize that we're
pushing him down the right path.

Is that what you want?

I want what Kaufman wants.

And if Stanley resists,
then what?

He won't resist.

I'm not convinced anymore.

He has nowhere to go.

I don't want
to be a part of this.

Not the way it's going.

Sit down.

Please.

I can tell that you've begun
to care for Stanley

or you wouldn't
have resurrections.

But if you walk away now,

the line ends with Kaufman.

Don't you want
to see Stanley succeed?

He'll need you.

Like Kaufman has needed you.

He's alone.

Vulnerable.

And you're asking
me to take advantage of that?

We can only guess
how much longer Kaufman has.

We need to bring
Stanley in now.

I can't promise that.

But you can try.

Don't give up now.

Not when we've come this far.

All right.

But once I've done my part,

you need to finish
what you started with him.

That goes without saying.

You and Kaufman
should speak again.

After you've met with him.

You haven't told him,
have you?

That was never up to me.

Has anyone told him?

No.

- He doesn't know.
- He needs to know now.

- You want me to tell him.
- Exactly.

It'll be best coming from you.

Why are you here?

I'm here to see you.

Get out.

Don't you want to know
why this is happening to you?

What do you want?

I want to talk to you.

Look, I don't want anything
more to do with you people.

I didn't even ask for those
in the first place.

He just...

told me to try them because he
knew I'd end up wanting more.

They helped me to push myself.

You may have been able
to push yourself,

but it was just you.

What?

They weren't real.

You just wanted them to be.

What did he give me?

The placebo.

But they did help me.

Only because you believed
they were something else.

You have
unfinished business here.

Why?

We needed to draw you in.

We have
a special interest in you.

Is that why
you've been stalking me?

I've just been
looking out for you.

That gun isn't loaded,
you know.

Check the chamber.

It was a game.

We needed to see
how you'd react.

We have an important position
for you.

Good luck, Stanley.

Let me help you.

You have a legacy to succeed.

There's no record
of my father.

Kaufman.

That was fast.

Stanley didn't need
too much persuasion.

Jaeger's plan worked then.

I just drove them back.

He won't trust us
for a while.

She'll earn his trust.

As Jaeger predicted.

After all, I couldn't
keep him on the hook.

He would've
caught on eventually.

Sure.

I had a good feeling about him
from the beginning.

I hope you're right.

Will he see Kaufman later?

Depends how he feels.

Stanley?

Kaufman.

I expect he'll have
a lot of questions for him.

Give me your hand.

Give me your hand.

Be careful.

He's waiting for you.

Hello, Stanley.

Why didn't you tell me before?

Why all these games?

I wanted to see
how you'd behave.

Like a normal person.

I tried to get out.

So did I...

At first.

But I gave in.

Like you have now.

I haven't
given in to anything.

You're like me, Stanley.

I'm nothing like you.

Then why are you here?

You know why.

You're mine.

I don't believe you.

Why have you done this?

Why all these games?

"A good scare is worth more
to a man than good advice."

A good scare.

I've got one for you.

It's all yours, son.

I'm not your son.

I'm nothing like you.

The mind games we play
with those we are closest to

are often so subtly
enacted in daily life

that we are not even
aware of them.

It could be compared to the inevitability
of fate creeping up on you.

I'm sure people become less and
less aware of this manipulation.

Ignorance of the causes
and effects of their actions.

People control people.

They thought
they were helping me.

I've won more than I've lost.

"All power comes at a price."

It's ended.
