[eclectic orchestral theme plays]

[birds twittering]

Do you know that feeling when you're sitting in a movie theater

and everyone's laughing at something

- and you just don't get it? - Yeah.

Like all the time.

This is where I'm at right now.

I'm sitting looking at the sunrise, the city,

and I'm wondering, how can something still look so beautiful

after we saw what we saw?

It just doesn't seem right.

No, it doesn't.

- [laughter] - [up-tempo movie soundtrack]

[roaring laughter]

[sounds fade]

- [monitors beep steadily] - [air ventilator hissing]

[laughter continues]

[softly] Are you all right, dear?

- I need to use the ladies' room. - Go on.

- [man] Aah! - [audience laughing]

[sniffling]

[sobs softly]

[Kala] My God.

What happened to him?

[sighs]

It was... my fault.

I wanted to prove something.

I wanted to change something that can't be changed.

What?

The past.

[ringing, buzzing]

- Hello? - [Daniela] It's me.

Dani?

Daniela?

- Where are you? - [softly] I did it.

I got my phone back. Everything's fine. I fixed it.

How do you know?

How do you know everything's going to be fixed?

It just is, all right?

- Why are you whispering? - [whispers] Is she coming back?

I just wanted you to know you don't have to worry.

- Are you coming back? - I better go.

[line disconnects]

- [sighs] - What did she say?

She said everything's going to be fine.

She fixed it.

She got the phone back.

Is she still with him?

- Huh? - I don't know.

[sighs] But this is good news, isn't it?

[man and woman arguing loudly]

[softly] Hey. Hey, hey! [whispers in Swahili]

- [argument continues loudly inside] - [whispers in Swahili]

[argument continues]

Is Jela home?

Fuck you!

You are looking very well, Elena.

[Elena] Shithead, it's Motherfucker.

[Jela] How do I tell them apart if you keep calling all my friends motherfuckers?

Oh, it's this motherfucker.

Here.

[scoffs]

[sighs]

It's the nicest thing a motherfucker's done for me today.

To the ancestors.

You and Elena are not getting along?

You have money. What's wrong?

It's me. She hates me being home.

[sighs]

I can't blame her.

I'm a stallion, Capheus.

I go a little crazy locked up in a barn.

Maybe it's time to go back to work.

Are you serious?

I realized today I cannot keep doing what I'm doing.

I've not yet told Mr. Kabaka this.

I'm not sure I know how to tell Mr. Kabaka this.

But I cannot go back there again.

The matatu is our work, eh?

Real work. Clean work.

[laughs]

You saved my life once again, my friend!

Light of my life, I'm going back to work!

- Is that true? - Ah.

- [squeals] - [laughs]

Thank you, Van Damme! [squeals]

[Elena speaks Swahili]

[in English] Let's go inside.

- [Capheus] Yeah, sure. - Come, come, come!

[softly] Ah... Oh, shit.

[Sun sighs]

You'll never have outside privilege if you continue teaching me.

I rarely get to go out.

But today looks beautiful.

It does.

They let us paint outside.

You like to paint?

I don't mind staying in.

Helping you makes time go quickly.

Soo-Jin!

Why does she choose you?

I'm fast.

I tried working more slowly once.

That...

That did not work out very well.

[groans] Bitch!

What are you doing?

That's not done.

Pick that up!

Get back to your seat!

My mother did not teach me to sew, but my father taught me business.

This is called "second mover advantage."

The second mouse enjoys the cheese.

Today, you go outside. She sews.

Thank you.

You've known him a long time.

How did you meet?

Detention.

[door closes]

Welcome to my office, newbie. Have a seat.

I'm Felix.

Wolfgang.

[giggles]

Wolfgang?

Nobody's named Wolfgang.

OK... Wolfie.

- What are you in for? - Fighting.

Cool.

Where are you?

At the movies.

[sighs] With my family.

Makes sense.

Why?

Felix loved the movies.

We cut school to watch films all the time.

[Conan] No one will remember if we were good men or bad.

All that matters is that two stood against many.

This film's a masterpiece.

[Conan] So grant me one request.

Grant me revenge!

And if you do not listen... then to hell with you!

You finished!

I did.

Thank you for teaching me.

No, thank you.

This is our mural of happier times.

I'm painting my three sisters.

I miss them.

Do you miss your family?

No.

I miss my dog.

You're welcome to paint your dog.

Or anything else.

Sometimes... it feels good to remember.

I don't know why he liked me.

In those days, when we moved from East to West Berlin,

I was the kid everyone hated.

Hey, you! Commie!

Your shitty country is ruining ours.

Get the hell out!

You don't belong here!

[spits]

You better go.

- No! - Go!

[boys laughing]

My dad says you're costing us billions in taxes.

You're going to start paying us back... now.

Come and get it!

[grunts]

[impact thuds]

[groans]

[Felix screams]

Aah!

[grunts]

"No one will remember if we are good men or bad!"

You're dead!

"Only that two stood against many."

[panting]

That was your childhood?

No. [soft chuckle]

That was nothing... compared to my father.

[tableware clatters]

Life is simple, boys.

Life is just five things: eating, drinking, shitting, fucking...

and fighting for more.

[groans softly]

[Wolfgang weeps softly]

I didn't say anything about crying.

Crying is for bitches.

That what you are?

A little bitch?

"Conan, what is best in life?"

He's crazy.

"To crush your enemies, to see them driven before you!"

He would do anything for you.

[sighs]

He's my brother.

And not by something as accidental as blood...

by something much stronger.

What?

By choice.

Is that your mother and you?

She took me to the Spring Festival.

We had ice cream.

[drops paint can]

Oh, I'm sorry.

It was an accident.

I know people like you.

You think you're better than the rest of us.

Not better or worse, just different.

You got a smart mouth.

Only if one assumes that a master's in economics constitutes a smart mouth,

as opposed to educated.

Many educated people are quite stupid,

and many stupid people like to start fights for no good reason

on a truly beautiful day.

Let us not ruin it.

Only thing I want to ruin is that smart mouth.

Stop fighting. I don't want to hurt you.

[yells]

[grunting]

Aah!

[cries out]

- Aah! - [grunting]

- [guard] Hey, hey, hey! - [whistle trilling]

[keys jingling]

[Will] Oh.

I was worried about you.

I'm OK.

You still in London?

I'm home.

[chuckles]

This is where I grew up.

Let me show you.

This is the piano where my dad practices every morning.

When I was little, I used to lay on this rug with my coloring book,

listening to him.

When I think of the word "happy,"

that rug is the first thing that comes into my head.

Your dad's kind of a big deal, huh?

Mm-hm.

Especially in Iceland.

Icelanders really like it if you get famous somewhere else and then come back.

They respect you more that way.

Oh, is that your mom?

She's beautiful.

She was.

Oh, she passed away.

Mm-hm.

- Sorry. - Are you talking to me, honey?

No, I was just talking to myself.

Here you go.

- Still black with one sugar? - Thanks, Dad.

- That's how I take my coffee, too. - [chuckles]

- I've gotta go. - OK.

You're home.

- Oh, I can't believe it. - [chuckles]

- See you tonight. - See you later.

[Will] He seems like a nice man.

He is.

Why did you stay away so long?

Oh, you don't have to explain it.

I ask way too many questions. Bad cop habit.

A lot of things that are hard to talk about happened here.

[door opens]

[softly] We know what you did for Soo-Jin.

[door closes]

So, this is your home?

Yeah.

Yeah, it's kinda small, you know?

Cops don't get paid a lot.

I like it.

[gasps] This is so cool.

[gasps]

Wow.

You should come to America sometime.

Chicago's got a great music scene.

Uh, jazz, blues, house... I could show you around the city before you even got here.

I could show you around Reykjavik.

So cool.

I want to see the volcano no one can pronounce the name of.

Eyjafjallajokull?

God bless you.

[both chuckle]

- [train rumbling] - Oh, my God, what is that?

You sleep here?

[Will] You get used to it.

Oh, my God! [chuckles]

Wow!

The fuck you doing, Gorski?

Huh? [mumbles]

Everything is so much better now.

- Yes, so much better. - Uh, we spoke to the astrologer,

and he says that the horoscope for the new wedding date

is even better than the last one.

- The last one was not bad. - No, no, not bad.

- But this is better. - So much better.

Clearly, the gods wanted it this way.

So, uh, you wish to use the temple of Ganesha?

Yes.

Since I was a child, I have always felt a closeness to Ganesha,

that he sees through my eyes and I see through his.

- [food sizzling] - [mother hums indistinctly]

I can't remember the last time I smelled your sukuma wiki and ugali.

Ah. [chuckles] I'm feeling much better.

But you are far too thin.

[resumes humming]

It makes my heart sing to see you cooking again.

You were never good at hiding your emotions.

What is troubling you, my son?

This medicine... the man I was getting it from...

I won't be able to get it from him anymore.

Troubles like this seem far less troubling on a full stomach.

- [floor creaks] - Family is so important.

- What do you want? - I had a family once.

- Get out! - Capheus!

I had a sister.

We were tight, like you and moms here.

One day, me and Mr. Kabaka had a disagreement.

I came home and she's lying there,

a wire around her throat, her scalp torn off.

That's what Mr. Silas Kabaka taught me.

- Love ain't nothing but a black hole. - No, no!

- What do you want? - [scoffs]

Come on, hero.

What does every person on this planet want

whose life has been fucked up by another person?

What the fuck do you think we want?!

What does he want?

And why here?

Why did he want to meet here?

[sighs] She said it was halfway. She wanted to make it easy.

Oh, come on, Hernando. This is Joaquin. He wanted us to meet in public.

- Maybe you should wait in the car. - I think I should wait in the car.

Yes. Yes.

Hi.

- Dani... - [Daniela chuckles softly]

Thanks.

Sorry it's so late.

It's the only time he could do it.

It's not a problem.

- Are you OK? - I'm fine. I'm good.

He hit you.

We were... negotiating.

No, no. This is wrong. You cannot go back to that asshole--

I told that asshole I would marry him if he left you alone.

[Hernando] What?

Lito!

Hernando, no. No, no, no, don't worry about me.

What? This is crazy. Come on!

What?

We make choices... and life has a way of making us pay for them.

That's a line from The Price of Life is Death.

And you were so great in it.

The world is inspired by your movies, Lito,

and I want you to continue making them, OK?

[sighs] Dani...

Hernando, I'll be fine.

If life has taught me anything, it's that... I can take a punch.

[sighs] Goodbye.

Don't have too much fun without me.

[engine races]

- What am I going to do? I don't know. - Yes, you do!

You cannot give them the child. You know that!

If I don't, they will come back.

You've heard them.

That's what men do, they make threats.

And you, more than anyone, know they have the ability to carry those threats out.

And you, more than anyone... you know that their threats

and even their violence... cannot touch the things that matter.

[sighs]

Mama... is it completely crazy to realize...

even after gangsters have threatened your life...

how lucky you are?

Not at all.

[sighs] Not at all.

- Baby O'Riley! - Ah! Sven!

It's been so long.

- Riley, it's good to see you. - You, too.

How's the boat?

Uh, it creaks, it groans. Not as fast as it used to be.

- We have that in common. - [chuckles]

[both] Skoal.

It's so good to see you, Riley.

For weeks, all your father's talked about is you coming home.

We're all happy to have you back.

It's so nice to be back.

This is your home, after all.

Born right there.

Ellen and I still laugh about that night.

Gunnar won't let me buy a new phone.

- He calls it the umbilicus. - Does it even work anymore?

I have a cousin in the highlands.

We have the last two rotaries in Iceland.

[chuckles softly]

- Is your dad coming over? - No, he's practicing.

- Big day tomorrow. - Mm. [soft chuckle]

Sven, you know I don't drive anymore.

Whenever, wherever, just knock on my door.

Thank you.

Don't ask me how I know this, but that woman right there is Nomi Marks.

She was scheduled for a brain operation, she disappeared.

- This is the federal BOLO for her. - [taps keys]

And the guy she's talking to is Niles Bolger.

He had the same brain operation two years ago.

He's now living as a complete vegetable at Nightingale's, until last night.

Do I even want to know how you're accessing this shit?

I used my dad's old captain's clearance for the requisition.

Oh, my God.

Yesterday, Bolger receives a package.

The FedEx guy doesn't know what to do with it.

I know what you're gonna do. You're gonna bury us with this.

Watch this.

Whoa.

Last night, a guy who couldn't drink from a coffee cup without drooling

went on a shooting spree.

One of the people he killed before eating his own gun

is the doctor who performed the surgery on him,

and was scheduled to do the exact same thing to Nomi Marks.

OK, if this was an episode of CSI, I'm hooked,

but cut to the goddamn chase and tell me what the fuck this has to do with us.

The company that paid Dr. Metzger to perform those surgeries,

that paid for the long-term care of Niles Bolger,

is the exact same company that rented the white van

that made one of the most dangerous terrorists in America disappear.

And this company is called?

BPO, the Biologic Preservation Organization.

"A multi-national research group studying the human genome

in the search for positive and consequential mutations."

Well, that doesn't sound sinister at all.

These guys are seriously funded.

I'm finding embeds to DARPA, the World Science Foundation, the WHO--

How are you able to access their financial records?

You're the guy that helped me get out of the hospital.

- That's right. - What guy?

He's standing right there and he's a cop.

Chicago PD. A lot of that stuff is illegal.

So is using your father's clearance codes

to access federal security information.

How did you know about that?

Know what?

I'm not sure.

OK, you've having a conversation with a cop in Chicago right now?

Yeah, I guess I am.

Cool.

FaceTime without a phone.

I mean, not exactly. We can know things and feel things.

She can't hear you.

Who the fuck you talkin' to, man?

Noth-- I'm just talking to myself.

You were at the shooting last night?

You've killed us all.

The only reason they would do something like that is if they felt threatened.

That means we're getting close.

It also means that if they have no problem killing their own people,

then they'll have no problem killing us.

Did you find anything on Metzger's hard drive?

So you know about the hard drive, but you don't know what's on it?

No one gave me a rule book here. I'm just trying to go with it.

Uh... Basically, they've been paying this guy a butt-load of money

to fly all over the world and lobotomize people.

I think he hooked up with the company when--

When he was a medical student at the University of Chicago.

[doorbell rings]

- Mom! - That picture.

- Wait. - [mother] Coming.

- I know that guy. - [Will] How?

When Bolger put the gun in his mouth,

I saw a reflection in the mirror that wasn't his.

- It was that guy. - [door opens]

I'm Dr. Friedmann.

Senior Officer with the Biologic Preservation Organization.

- [whispers] That voice... - [man continues speaking softly]

I know that voice.

I thought Nomi was still in the hospital.

I know you think you're doing the right thing,

trying to protect someone you care about, but this woman has a terrible disease...

- [whispers] It's him! - Who?

It's that guy.

[whispers] He says that the guy at the door is that guy!

So, for your safety, we are putting you into protective custody.

- What? - Don't look at him.

- Why? - Jonas told me that's how he hunts.

I have a warrant to search these premises,

and if you interfere, you will be arrested and prosecuted

- to the full extent of the law. - You've gotta go right now.

- You can't do this. - Oh, yes, we can.

No! What are you doing? No!

What are you-- No, wait! You can't do this!

[mother shouts] Amanita! Amanita!

[softly] OK, out the window, over the balcony.

- The alley will take you to Corbett. - No.

- You have to come with me. - No. You need time.

I'll stall them. Go!

Go, honey! Go!

Oh, my God.

[panting] Fuck.

Oh, my God. Neets.

Um... Um... OK.

- [pounding on door] - [whispers] Shit.

- [loudly] Is that you, Mom? - I'm a federal agent. Open the door.

- A federal agent? - [pounding on door]

- [man] Open the door, ma'am, now! - Uh... I'm, uh...

kinda in the middle of something.

[shrieks] What the fuck?

I am changing my tampon, you fucking pervert!

- Please come with me. - Can I finish, or do you want this, too?

- [stammers] - Huh? Huh?

You want it? You want it? Fucking take it!

- Get eyes on the back alley. - Copy that.

- Stop! Don't move! - Oh, God.

[man] Hands in the air!

Oh, my God. [panting] I don't want to go back to the hospital.

Cop guy, where are you?

- What are you looking for? - It's the feds. They found her.

- How do you know? - Gorski, the captain's office, now!

We've got her. Back of the hill.

Someone, please help me.

Stay calm.

Are you in my head or are you here?

I'm in Seoul. I was sleeping.

Ah, shit!

- Get on your knees! - Oh...

- Who are you? - I'm Sun.

We don't have time for this.

He's gonna call for backup.

Backup on Corbett.

This guy's right-handed. He's gonna go for your right wrist.

- Now! - [grunting]

[grunts]

Throw the gun.

Get on the bike.

- [tires screech] - [horn honks]

[Will] Is there a problem, Captain?

Shut the door.

[siren wailing]

[tires screeching]

[police officer] Stop her!

[bike clatters]

I don't know how to drive.

[engine starts]

I do.

- [tires squealing] - [siren continues]

[Nomi gasps]

- Are you crazy? Oh! - I saw this in Hard Target.

Jean-Claude attacked when everyone thought he was going to run.

[tires squealing]

[grunting]

Whoo!

It worked better in the movie.

Look, Gorski, this isn't a movie or a fucking TV show.

I gave you clear warning that if you didn't follow orders,

- there would be consequences. - OK, but, can I explain?

I can explain, same way they explained it to me.

You're suspended without pay.

Captain.

Captain, you know that is not fair.

[scoffs]

What the fuck you talkin' about, Gorski?

Not fair?

This is the real fuckin' world.

Nothin's fair.

Drop your badge, sign the paperwork, get the fuck out.

[dramatic choral music playing]

It's El Caído.

[sharp inhale]

[whispers] You said he would come for you.

A man must never be judged by the length of his gun,

or the size of his fortune.

In the end, we'll all be judged by the courage of our hearts.

[guns cocking]

And cut!

Give me one more, please. The line!

Lito, you're beautiful.

- You sure? - It's great, we're fine.

We have it, OK?

And your, uh... friend is here.

Oh, yeah. My bodyguard. Yeah.

- Hello, Kala. - Papa-ji.

- I had no idea you came to the temple. - I don't.

No, I came here to see you.

- Can I have a word with you? - Yes, of course.

I was considering our conversation about continuing the wedding as planned.

It's just that, uh, the events of the past few days

have led me to... reconsider things.

- Reconsider? - Yes.

You know, I don't believe in gods and miracles.

Our fates are governed by the choices that we make.

Others, of course, will argue that luck, good or bad, is a factor, but I disagree.

Luck can only offer an opportunity.

But without the will to make the right choice,

luck would be as meaningless as... as that elephant-headed god.

To me, the idea of praying to a god to somehow influence my own fate

is both primitive and terribly sad.

I'm sorry, I don't think this is the place to have this conversation.

Something's wrong?

What is it? Is it Joaquin, right?

- He's gonna blackmail me. - No.

No, no, I haven't heard from him.

Is it Daniela?

In a way.

I guess, in a way, she reminded me of the things I had allowed myself to forget

because I feel so strongly about you.

Hernando, your tone is scaring me. What are you talking about?

I love you, Lito.

I love you more than I have ever loved anyone in my life.

I love you, too.

But I can't be with someone who allows someone else to be hurt

in order to protect their career.

- I wish it didn't end this way. - It doesn't end this way.

What are you talking about? This isn't my fault.

Hernando, she did this to herself. She admitted it.

You cannot leave me for that. This is not fair.

- I know it's not fair. - So what do you want me to do?

You want me to throw my whole life down the toilet

- because of a woman I barely know? - I don't know what you should do, Lito.

All I know is what I have to do.

Are you gonna break up with me because of her?

- No, it's not her. - Then what?

"In the end...

we will all be judged by the courage of our hearts."

It's a stupid line from a stupid movie. Hernando, please.

I'm sorry, Lito.

- Goodbye. - No, please, no. Please don't leave me.

Hernando.

Hernando.

Hernando!

[sighs]

[whispers] Hernando, please don't leave me, please.

[sighs]

[director] Here we go. Let's shoot!

I was hoping that after our conversation is over,

when you pray to your Ganesha,

he'll also tell you that what you are going to do is the right thing to do.

- What I am going to do? - Mm.

You are going to call up my son

and you are going to tell him that you cannot marry him.

What?

You know in your heart that's the right thing to do.

I could see it in your eyes.

That's why you stopped the wedding,

to keep yourself from committing this terrible mistake.

- That's not true. That is not why I-- - Of course-- Of course it is true.

- I-- - It was a mistake for both our parts.

I should have never given my blessing.

But now, luck has given us another opportunity to correct it.

All we require is the will--

[cries out]

- No! [screams] - [groans]

[Kala screams] Help!

[screams]

Help!

Papa-ji!

Papa-ji!

Papa-ji?

Help! Help!

Somebody! Help!
