we must fight evil

no matter where no matter when

and no matter what the cost

so petscop you're feeling better now

very much thank you did the pretty

nurses at the hospital

make sure that your blood is still blue

don't look away when i'm talking to you

lay off

if you know what's good for you

i am

tonight majesty

we'll see what's good for me

what the hell switch your door open

and make him move

hey the other way

down

oh my god

open up now

uh

oh

yuri good to hear from you i just got

off the phone with your

foreign minister oh boy

for the first time in his life he

finally agreed to give up his usual asic

nations

yes and be with us at uh the meeting

with your president barbarus

looking forward to it everything's sad

that's not quite what i'm calling about

alexander

there is an unexpected problem oh is

something wrong at your end

no yours last night there was an attack

on a prison burst

yes i heard something about that uh six

prisoners escaped yeah well

one of them is xenoveshkov

petchkov that scoundrel from your royal

family

yes he has first claimed to the throne

oh come on no one would dare sit on a

moldavian throne

it hasn't been clean for seven decades

yes but i suspect the moment the soviet

union broke apart

more than one heir began dusting off his

crown

now alexander if we are not careful

petchkov might be in a position to claim

the throne of moldavia by the end of the

week

what does your president think of that

i'm afraid my president may not slave to

dispute it

must talk

yeah yeah yuri hang on hankster stay

right there

i know get bitter sinclair

oh my god yuri deadly

this timing is deadly

so he's fine he's right beside me

put him on

patrick you're right yes major

thank you when can i see you soon

i'll be waiting patch me through to

moldavia

well to say the least things are a might

ticklish over in moldavia

it seems there's a plot to assassinate

president borbales

as you damn well know as far as

democracy is concerned

the moldavians are virgins they're still

more used to the iron fist than the

velvet glove

so what you're really saying sir is that

the president has just a few enemies

you bet internally and externally

and where does petscop fit in not

bounder

ah it's just a means to an end the

figurehead

but he does have the military expertise

to create a successful coup

when all the people need is to get their

fingers on the right trigger

even before the soviet union broke up

one of their main

fears was the control of nuclear weapons

especially the highly

mobile tactical ones that are scattered

throughout the republic

but who is actually responsible for them

president burbalis of course

theoretically the russians are still in

charge of security

yeah theoretically i heard for a million

bucks you could buy yourself a tactical

nuclear warhead

delivered precisely mr stone

no no no the situation over there is

delicate

and dangerous the seeds of descent had

already been sown

so i'd arranged for the president to

meet with

leading industrialists and key

government representatives with the idea

that putting food on the table

would do a hell of a lot towards

stabilizing their economy

when does the president arrive

this evening and how long for

only 24 hours this new threat can't

afford to stay any longer

so we can't waste any time that's why

i'm

placing all of you at the disposal of

their charged affair yuri kishnev

so get your butts over there he's

expecting you in an hour

it's major franco sir

is the line secure yes sir every signal

checks out

we heard the news about peshkov good

work major

thanks mikkoff how are things on your

friend

the president has left the country and

we're moving into position

how long will that take a couple of

hours

we'll move on the arsenals as soon as

you take care of our president

they seem to have rounded up most of the

other prisoners who escaped with

petchcock but tell me

did you come over to the west page cover

got out of moldova 10 years ago

well he must have had pretty good

connections even in those days to get

himself out from behind the anchor

not exactly the truth is the moldavian

police and even the kgb were glad to get

rid of it

he was nothing but a common criminal

trying to use his royal blood as an

excuse for his crimes

so you shipped all your problems west

huh

well towards the west was filled with

cowboys like

peshkov we thought he would fit in

perfectly

he ended up in jail for extortion

and before that he spend five years in

the french foreign legion

it'd be a good idea to show these guys a

lot of respect

they take themselves seriously well they

certainly have all the talents to set up

a coup or

even run a war whoever helped them

escape from this prison van had all

those qualifications

according to the wounded bus driver they

had some pretty heavy

artillery point shiny self-respecting

legionnaire would know how to handle

right maybe we should talk to some of

petchkov's legion buddies

yeah who is his kamaniopsit i'm major

franco and where's he stationed

he isn't he was desirably discharged two

years ago

do you have a current address from that

nope thank yous

i'll find him how is he going to do that

he has his own sponsors yeah and i think

that's all you want to know sir

now perhaps you could bring us up to

date on the security arrangements you

have in place for your president's visit

yes of course

what makes you think we want to what

makes you think you can

how's it going now though hanging in but

the name's max now

you know anything about a major franco

nothing but i know a guy who's been

working for him

lately what's your friend do

that's the freaky part stole nothing

nothing

a guy's name is the rush his friends

call him roach he's a real burn

well now that's a compliment coming from

you guys been in and out of jail

institution reformatories

didn't make a dent on him

he's a legionnaire good scared of tattoo

you know those guys only dressed around

so where can i find them watch yourself

i could tell you a place you forgot to

get it's a legionnaires hangout

yeah what are you saying max

they'd see you for breakfast i heard

yeah

well how about you eat this for

breakfast okay look uh try a place

called the la palette on the left bank

but don't tell him i told you

now why would i tell him that

i'll take care of you later if this pans

out

this won't hurt

hello

i'm done thinking

so

coming out of there just a couple of

more shots

so

long live the king thank you

what are the plans in a few hours we'll

have you back in moldabia

when i'm in power i will not forget what

all of you have done for me i'm sure you

won't corporal

yes major as long as you continue to do

exactly what we say

we stand a very good chance of pulling

off this coup

and you'll be wearing your crown by the

end of the week

do we have an understanding

let's drink to that

you're not out there in 10 seconds i'm

coming in to get you

is it does it

okay i guess i'm finished pissed it in

here

i know he's in here somewhere bingo

roach

major franco seems to be the connecting

tissue here

had a distinguished career right up

until

chad when he received his dishonorable

discharge

you'll never know exactly what happened

here those records are sealed

well you can bet whatever it was it

wasn't pretty

hey look at that one he looks exactly

like the guy close to the roche franco

mercure

served under major franco as a marksman

not just a marksman a sniper

and is honorably discharged as franco

discharged chad franco all tied with the

same brush

well i happen to know anything we can

get on our major we'll be of great

interest to it interpol

i don't give a damn about interpol

the future of my country is at stake

yes uh we uh we do know that

so let's do something we can't let

peshkov sleep through our fingers

so you must understand that petchkov is

just a figurehead

the success of the coup is going to

depend on who controls the tactical

nuclear weapons in your country

we don't know who they are connected to

in molavia that's exactly why we need

you to go home to find out

and leave my president without

protection but that's why we're on the

case

that's our job how you plan to do that

well gabrielle will stick to the

president like glue

and then we will infiltrate franco's

organization from the inside

more easily said than done my friend

time's running out

who can get inside with these cute

throats

that's why they pay me the big bucks

in the capital of moldavia this morning

we awaken to the sound of tanks in the

streets

it's later for me than it is for you

thomas just turn on your news right now

it's already on

it breaks my heart alex

davia's going to burst into flames you

take my word for it

exactly what do you have in mind alex

investment in the success of the new

world order

is just a speck on the edge of the

ukraine i see

only one loose tactical nuclear warhead

won't be all that dangerous will it

thomas

oh all right alex what can i do

i want 10 hours of your time i think you

owe me at least that

you know it's going to be one long

uphill push to build

cars in moldavia the disposition of

these arms is not completely

we're almost finished

i appreciate what you and your friends

are doing miss carmont

a couple more and we'll have a full set

your plan is ambitious but i'm not

comfortable putting you at risk like

this

that risk is no more than the one you

take every day

which goes with the life they've elected

me to i'm afraid

you were a teacher weren't you

mathematics and poetry

you must have been a good student i can

see you've done your homework mrs

kermant

i was a terrible student and i never did

my homework

no mr addington feel the scene

believes you are making a difference

long before you entered politics

you couldn't be such a good

photojournalist without doing research

that's different i love digging things

up you see

and if people are hiding something then

i can't help it

i'd even go to the archive library but

she's a place that actually i used to

hate when i was at school

so

i'll have um a bourbon straight up

now don't give me one of those [ __ ]

glasses

oh she i'm sorry i don't dance

i'm not asking male get out

is this your place doesn't make a

difference i don't like asking

twice okay okay dmi

thank you

i first are you cowboy

laid that fist

we're finished thank you

now all i have to do is make it through

tomorrow

you'll make it

you have before

we've been waiting a long time for this

moment

but whether we're ready for what freedom

and democracy can bring is another

question altogether

you know your people better than anyone

what do you think

when we were fighting for our rights

from the soviet union everyone was so

willing

to sacrifice everything to get them and

now

it sometimes seems that what we're most

willing to sacrifice

is each other

did you get anything by checking his id

a little um here

have a look his name is tom

nevis he admitted that right away

so he worked for the giancarlo family

that was something he wasn't as anxious

to talk about

did you check that his credentials were

for real

they do a job for them no problems

nope but he's not the kind of guy they

take on as part of a crew

a little too crazy he did a real job on

roach

so let's use stone we need somebody

but this is all a little too convenient

for my taste

why you think somebody knows we plan to

assassinate her

they sure as hell no we got petch cuff

out

can't take any chances on this major no

but suppose he is on to something

what better place to have an informer

than right along for the ride

risky no more than the alternative

so we use stone let's go see it

yeah thanks very much indeed no no no

that's great thanks bye

here let me take that so far so good

they've brought the giancarlo story have

you heard from stone yeah you stood at

la palette

i told him that things get too hot he

could throw himself out yeah

i want to give you the meaning of the

word yeah well i told him anyway

how's the president what is this still

done by stone's story

well we do have other contingencies and

we just have to hope that yuri kishnev

can come up with something at his end

the only way to flush out these kind of

conspirators is to make them show their

hand

i'm afraid we've only got till noon

tomorrow to do it are you going

down to the police headquarters to check

the locators can you take this to the

lab please yeah sure

citizens of moltavia it is with great

joy that i return to the throne

of our glorious country

thanks to the international efforts

organized during my long

exile moldavia is now free to pursue its

destiny

allow me to introduce your new prime

minister

damn it you've got to get the words

right

it's i'm pleased and honored

to introduce your new prime minister

it's the same thing

it isn't let's start again

this time the angle starts wide

on both of us

good evening

hasn't moved yet

you know mr stone is alive and well

and what about tomorrow's security

arrangements

we are fully connected to the

president's car it's secured in the

garage under the police protection

so we just have to be sure that when

your two dots converge we're ready and

able for all eventualities

at least we know when they're going to

do it

unfortunately we still don't know where

i'm going downstairs to our mr stone

mr stone you can call me stone whatever

you like

you got a name doesn't matter

what interests me is why you still carry

this it's cancelled

sentimental reasons as your boy

i think he may want to talk with you

again how about right now

you've got problems something to do with

a hit

which one this expensive stuff

that's uh whatever it is

that's very funny i like that

you put me in a rather difficult

position by injuring my friend

what bouncers hard to come by here in

paris

hardly but i do have a proposition that

may be beneficial for both of us

are you interested suppose i'm not

then just say no

what do you think peter yeah i agree

it's very strange as tony's

are we almost ready to go mr sinclair

please

i'm sorry if i'm impatient that's right

i do understand

but don't worry we'll stay on schedule

okay we'll be right back

you're right i think

we're on our way

we're with you

we are leaving now okay

come on

where are we going

you'll find out when you get there

what are we supposed to do when we get

there

hey you muscle

you do what we tell you when we tell you

well let's just say for argument's sake

that i didn't

what is it with you guys in the guns all

the time

so

sir

yes she is in the car

and we are following her to the location

how is patchkoff doing is everything all

right

i warn you the king has a short memory

that's why we recorded it we could not

trust him live on camera

how's your end everything's on schedule

and we are operational

how long i'll call you as soon as we hit

her

i'm counting on you to have patchkoff

ready

they're on the heading away from the

river

okay keep me up to date i think i know

where they're headed

rather alert mr sinclair how close

we've seen target range a few hundred

meters i wanna know the moment stone

stops moving

he's still moving and getting closer

no surprises so far

less than 100 meters now mr sinclair

still moving

and he has to have stopped nice

neighborhood

he's on the move again

she'll be here any minute

so you mind telling me what's going on

here you're taking our friend the

roach's place yeah i know

doing what we are going to the fifth

floor to conduct some business

you make sure we're not disturbed that's

all okay

then what i'll tell you when we're

finished

so what's the payoff you already got it

pal

you're alive you know you and i are

developing a good relationship

move it

mother must have been short

he's stopped now what's his distance

still less than 100 meters

everyone in position check where all

systems go

don't worry we've got you covered

right on time

is the mark right

nice piece yours hey why don't you just

shut up

just making conversation that's all

a little nervous aren't you hey you're

trigger man you shouldn't be so nervous

you know that's not good

don't you push it excuse me for living

start earning your money mr stone

you do it okay

you hit the woman who gets out of that

car or we hit you

all right it's done

so

that's shot

what do you think

president request that this message be

ran immediately

i don't understand it's self-explanatory

preempt everything

we interrupt this broadcast for an

important message from the office of the

president

citizens of moltavia president burbalis

couldn't be with you today

but thanks to the international effort

there must be a mistake somewhere

preparing to deliver a message live to

the people

i arrest you for high treason in the

name of the people of moldova

okay let's get that damn thing off

you know you'd make a great president

yeah dead or alive

either way

fellow citizens

i am speaking to you tonight to announce

the defeat of treachery

and the triumph of our new democratic

republic of moldavia

factions within my own government were

planning

okay

you were all aware that earlier this

week

of moldavia pamphlets shame radical

change

you just missed saying goodbye to

francois and major franco

uh i hope you gave them my regards i

thought if we're gonna see those two for

a while well not unless you plan on

vacationing on devil's island in the

next 50 years

actually i hear they have terrible

beaches

you better believe it

thanks to the bravery of some of our

friends in the west i can announce that

the traitors have been captured

furthermore as a result of meetings i've

had today in paris

our country has secured a significant

loan

and practical aid to help us build the

foundations of our new

democracy

yes sir everything went just fine

president mubarak is back

in control and we've just left moldavian

airspace should be back in paris for

late dinner

well you did yourselves proud thank you

how's yuri doing well as with most

conspiracies sir when you cut off the

head

the rest of the beast withers when they

got knee cough and [ __ ] golf for

treason they couldn't stop those guys

from flapping their lips

that must have been quite a roundup not

really most of the people supported the

president

and your economic aid certainly helped

reinforce their belief in democracy

the french government informs me they're

going to extradite major franco

yes and with the assurances that he'll

be done for terrorism

i'm sure it won't take long

and rest assured major franco will spend

the rest of his life behind bars

i have a request mr eddington

after what you did anything thank you

i would like to keep the bulletproof

suit that i wore

sentimental reasons of course no no no i

was thinking of

making it into a a mini dress

good thinking mrs conversation please

no no change ever takes place without

conflict

we've just got to protect those people

who have vision enough to make our

futures brighter for us

so

you
