[SPEC-OPS GRUNT]
Remember, this is our game.
This is what we're made for.
Keep it calm, steady and ready.
You know the drill.
We've done it 100 times before.
In and out, quick.
Keep it clean, no dirty boots.
We'll be home before dinner.
Dinner at your place.
Yeah, Helene's cooking,
you do the dishes.
[SNICKERS]
[JOHN]
Alright, let's rock and roll.
-Turn off the lights.
-[MATTEO] Copy.
[JOHN] Go to silent.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]
You are probably all wondering,
why have these monsters...
[DISTORTED VOICE] ...taken
the National Opera hostage,
the night...
[NORMAL VOICE] ...before
their grand opening performance?
[JOHN] Team leader in position.
Enemy in sight.
[SPEC-OP] Copy that.
Charlie heading in position.
[MERC LEADER]
I assure you, we do not.
[MATTEO] John?
[JOHN] I see it.
All teams, wait for my order.
[SPEC-OP]
Copy. Waiting for the orders.
[MERC LEADER]
Our agenda is strictly monetary.
[MATTEO] I don't know, John.
[JOHN] He's bluffing.
It's all about money.
[MERC LEADER] ...conduct again,
all you have to do
is help us meet our goal
of 300 million. And to...
[DISTORTED VOICE]
...show you the kind of
production
we hope to entertain...
[NORMAL VOICE] ...you with.
Miss Mollini.
-[MATTEO] Let me ice this prick.
-[JOHN] No.
Wait till we're all in position.
We can floor him.
[MERC LEADER]
Come, come, come, come.
Our... [DISTORTED VOICE]

[SPEC-OP 2] Team Charlie, clear.
[MATTEO] Team Alpha, clear.
[JOHN] What the hell is wrong
with you, soldier?
I gave you a direct order. Huh?
You're gonna get us all killed.
You jeopardized the mission.
I gave you an order, soldier.
[GROANS]
-[MATTEO] Shit.
-Damn.
-[MATTEO] What's wrong?
-I'm hit. I'm hit.
-[MATTEO] You're hit? Medic!
-[GROANS] No, it's okay.
It's not that bad. Not that bad.
[MATTEO]
Team leader down! Medic!
-[SPEC-OP] Medic's on the way.
-[GRUNTS]
I think you'd better
call Helene.
Tell her we'll be a little late
for dinner.
[CHUCKLES] No, we'll make it.
-[WHEEZING] Fuck.
-You'll be fine.
-[JOHN] We got them all, right?
-[MATTEO] Yeah, we got them all.
We saved everybody.
No, you haven't saved anyone.
I'm just gonna blow up
this place.
[JOHN] Do it.

[MUMBLED CONVERSATION]
[MELANCHOLY MUSIC CONTINUES]
[ECHOING VOICES]
Whoo! Hey. Hey, beauty.
[ANGIE LAUGHING]
[HELENE] Such a good girl.
Angie.
-[JOHN] Whoa whoa whoa.
-[ANGIE COOS]
[JOHN] It's a fish.
[LAUGHING]
[JOHN] Go!
-[JOHN] Angie, smile.
-[CAMERA CLICKS]
-You quitting?
-I gotta keep moving.
Well, you're leaving me short.
So, this is what you get.
[OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYING]
-[IN ROMANIAN] Bucharest?
-[WOMAN] Yes, of course.
[MELANCHOLY MUSIC PLAYING]
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]
[HELICOPTER WHIRRING]
Well, well, well.
What do we have here?
The Sindikheth and Consociation
all gathered here together.
Must be
a super special occasion.
[CAMERA CLICKING]
Like one of those weddings
where all the relatives
you forgot you had
show up to the free buffet.
Is that what this is?
A joining of two spirits?
How sweet.
[WHOOPS] Look at this.
My favorite breakfast.
This one comes with a present.
Keeps you going all day.
So, who's the lucky bride?
[ROMAN SPEAKS IN SERBIAN]
[FISCHER] What did you say?
That's no way to talk to a lady.
[ROMAN SPITTING]
You fucking son of a bitch.
Get the fuck up!
Spitting on my shoe, huh?
-[FISCHER] Move!
-[HELICOPTER WHIRRING]
Sorry I didn't
bring flowers, eh.
[CAMERA CLICKING]
[AGENT, IN DUTCH]
Come on, stand up.
-[SABAN] Tell me.
-Interpol was waiting for us.
-[SABAN] And the shipment?
-[BER] Gone.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]
[SEAGULLS SQUAWKING]
[ROMAN] Watch it, man. Watch it.
Do you have any idea
how hard it is to get blood
out of Italian calfskin?
[ROMAN] No. Why don't you
try some water, huh?
Oh, you're an expert now?
[FISCHER] Don't be a girl.
[SHIRA] Okay, Roman. That's
a shipment off the streets.
But it doesn't put us any closer
to the big players.
Actually, it does.
So take the win, Shira.
Hitting the Consociation and
the Sindikheth at the same time
puts a pressure on them
while they're trying
to link up together.
Boss, we could get a medal
for this shit.
Fine.
But I want
the whole Consociation,
not its droppings.
I know it's personal.
But I promise you,
this was just a warm-up.
Now we crank the heat and
we force them to make a mistake.
[OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYING]
[ANNOUNCER, IN DUTCH]
The train to Dordrecht,
Lage Zwaluwe and Roosendaal,
scheduled at 8:31 p.m.,
departs from platform...
[PAUL] Yeah, Nick,
let me cut to the chase.
So, it's an ERC20 blockchain
called Taltos.
Every database will be using it
within two years,
and now for a small
no-risk investment
you can get in on it now.
Uh, just 15 million euros.
I know [CHUCKLES]
I know they've been telling that
crypto's been dead for years,
but, hey, the only place
it's going is up.
Oh, come on, Nick.
Help me make the ICO.
You'll be glad you did it.
Okay, I guess we'll have to see
how you feel about that
when you see me cruising by
in a new Bentley.
Right. [LAUGHS] Okay.
Okay, thanks.
Thanks, talk to you later.
[SIGHS]
[OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYING]
[MUSIC SWELLS AND STOPS]
[DOORBELL RINGS]
-I'm looking for...
-[ANGIE] You're so tall.
Can you get a cat
out of the tree?
Can you dunk a basketball?
Is Helene Meyers home?
Meyers...
[ANGIE] Mommy!
Mommy,
there is somebody at the door!
[HELENE] Who is it, sweetheart?
[ANGIE]
I don't know, but he's big.
Hey.
Where have you been?
[MELANCHOLY MUSIC PLAYING]
Angie, do you remember Matteo?
-He's a friend of your dad's.
-Paul?
-No, honey, your dad.
-You knew my real dad?
He was my best friend.
Did he like broccoli?
-No.
-I knew it.
Well...
Don't stand there like a lug.
Come inside.
I'll make some coffee.
[KETTLE WHISTLING]
His name is Paul.
We got married last year.
He's been good to us.
We missed you at John's funeral.
[WHISPERS] Yeah.
I wanted to come.
-But...
-I know.
We all lost a lot that day.
It's just that...
You were like his brother.
Always there for him.
It would have been nice if you
could have been there for us
when we needed you.
Anyway,
it's good you're here now.
I came because...
there's something
I needed to tell you.
What?
-It was my fault John died.
-No, stop.
-I wasn't fast enough.
-I said stop.
-It should have been me.
-Shut up!
You don't get to come here,
not after I moved on,
and make me relive my grief.
Look at me.
You don't get to do that.
Not when you couldn't even
be bothered
to show up for his funeral.
What kind of brother does that?
[MELANCHOLY MUSIC PLAYING]
I'm sorry.
-[DOOR CLOSES]
-[WHISPERS] Fuck.
[HELENE] Matteo.
Do you have anywhere to stay?
I'll find something.
I'll be fine.
We have an extra room,
so come back inside.
Please.
[SOFT PIANO MUSIC PLAYING]
[SABAN] What is this?
It's mushroom stew, sir.
One of our most popular dishes.
This is the famous
mushroom stew?
Why isn't anyone else having it?
How many times are we gonna have
this conversation?
I'm gonna give you
another month. Okay?
One more month.
And then maybe I bring in
a new chef, a new menu. Yeah?
Think that's fair?
-Anything else, sir?
-People. Ha!
I'd like some people. People.
Go.
[CHEF] Thank you.
[HELENE] That was a good day.
-Yeah.
-It's for you.
Thanks.
[HELENE]
You know, I kept all his things.
His clothes, medals,
everything, so...
if you need anything, take it.
He would have liked that.
Matteo.
It really is good to see you.
It's just that...
I'm sorry it took so long.
-[ANGIE, MUFFLED] Matteo!
-[CHUCKLES]
And now you're gonna have to
deal with your new best friend.
[CHUCKLES] Yeah.
[ANGIE, MUFFLED] Matteo?
[BER] See these two?
They are running
the whole investigation.
[FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING]
Taking pictures?
I spoke to our Mr Nay.
We both agree that whether
this rat is in my house
or in his house,
we don't continue business
until it's found.
-Mmm, yeah.
-Now, if it is in my house,
it's up to you two to find it.
Fast.
[DOOR CLOSES]
-Hey.
-Hey.
-How was your day?
-Well...
Where's the hobbit?
There.
[ANGIE, MUFFLED] There you go.
Why is she having a tea party
with a giant?
That's Matteo, John's friend.
He stopped by today and I don't
think he's got anywhere to go,
so I thought maybe we could
take him in for a few days.
Of course.
[PAUL] I think we should get him
a new chair.
He's gonna break that one.
[LAUGHS]
[DAISY BARKS]
[HELENE, MUFFLED] Sant.
[PAUL, MUFFLED] Cheers,
everybody, it's a real honor.
[ANGIE LAUGHING]
[MELANCHOLY MUSIC PLAYING]
[HELICOPTER WHIRRING]
[SPEC-OP, OVER RADIO] Message
to return. Target two miles.
Target number
Alpha Bravo 1-0-0-4. Over.
[MATTEO] Copy that.
[JOHN] You remember that girl
at Cappie's retirement party?
[MATTEO] The one
in the blue dress, you mean?
[JOHN] That's the one. Skylar.
You pretended you were too drunk
to dance.
[MATTEO] I don't dance.
[JOHN] Why? Are you too tall?
You think you'd look stupid?
-[MATTEO] I've seen you dance.
-[BOTH LAUGH]
-We're in position. Ready to go.
-[SPEC-OP] Copy that.
[JOHN] Look, all I'm saying is
that when we get back home,
you oughta give that girl
a call.
Take her out for dinner.
-That's Helene's idea, isn't it?
-[JOHN] No. No, no.
Did she say something
about it too?
Just that if I didn't call her,
I was gonna die alone.
[CHUCKLES]
I fucking love that woman.
She went straight
for the jugular, huh?
She just wants you to be happy.
-Tell her I am happy.
-[JOHN] You tell her yourself.
But I bet she loves it when
you're out in the field, huh?
Instead of hanging
around the house.
At least when I'm out here,
she can't hound me
about building those gazebos
in the back yard, man.
[MATTEO] Oh, there we go.
Target in sight.
-By the way...
-[MATTEO EXHALES]
-Helene's pregnant.
-[SHOT FIRES]
Couldn't you wait
until after the shot?
[SHOT FIRES]
-I thought you wanted to know.
-[TWO SHOTS FIRE]
-Any idea who the father is?
-[THREE SHOTS FIRE]
I got a pretty good idea.
[MATTEO]
Coast clear. Bravo, move in.
-You fucker.
-[SPEC-OP 1] Bravo moving in.
[SPEC-OP 2]
We've got the assets.
[SPEC-OP 1] See you
at the rendezvous point.
[JOHN] You give
that Skylar girl a call.
[MATTEO] I'll think about it.
[JOHN] You think about it?
There's nothing to think about.
-You do it when we get home.
-[MATTEO LAUGHS, SOUND FADING]
[HELENE] Angie?
You coming to bed?
Come.
-I like him.
-You do?
Me too.
[ANGIE]
He's been alone for a long time.
I think he needs a new friend.
[SNICKERS] You're right, honey.
-[IN FRENCH] Goodnight, honey.
-[IN FRECH] Goodnight.
[PAUL] There you go, buddy.
[CRICKETS CHIRPING]
-[PAUL SIGHS]
-[BIRDS SINGING]
Bet you've seen beautiful skies
all over the world, huh?
You got a favorite spot?
Afghanistan.
Seriously?
The night there
is quiet. It's...
peaceful.
[PAUL] Must be hard,
coming home
with nothing left to fight for.
There's always something
to fight for.
Yeah.
Of course.
Good talking to you. Goodnight.
He's not gonna pee
on the carpet.
[LAUGHS] No.
-But he's just like...
-Like what?
Uh... I don't know.
I was just trying to find
a nice way
to say "like he's damaged."
You know...
John never could talk much
about it, but...
the things they did,
they saw over there,
they deal with it different
than us.
Okay? So, try and cut him
a little slack.
Yeah, I know, I know.
I'm just a little, uh...
What? Intimidated?
Hey, cut me some slack,
will you?
He's a ghost from your past,
so maybe I am a little bit.
Well, you shouldn't be.
'Cause I'm not looking back.
I'm moving forward.
It's all I want to do now.
I hope it's not all
you want to do.
[MELANCHOLY MUSIC PLAYING]
[UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING]
I'm late.
I can't do this every day.
[DAISY WHINING]
[ANGIE] Will you take care
of Daisy for me?
Yeah.
Will you be here
when I get back?
I don't know.
Then we can have
another tea party.
-[MUSIC STOPS]
-How can you say no to that?
Thank you.
Bye, Daisy!
[DAISY WHINING]
Yes, James,
you can count on that of course.
Uh...
Let me call you right back.
Okay.
-[PAUL] Gabriel.
-Paul.
[PAUL] Hey.
-Well, please.
-Sit down.
Uh, can I get you something?
Coffee, tea, Dr Pepper?
No, caffeine upsets
my acid reflux.
Well, you coming here
isn't exactly good
for my acid reflux either.
-What's going on?
-I don't know, Paul.
I was hoping you could tell me
what's going on.
-What is this? A riddle?
-[SABAN] Yes, it's a riddle.
And the riddle is: What the fuck
happened to my 15 million euros
that mysteriously disappeared
from my accounts, Paul?
-Oh.
-Oh.
Uh... Let me check it out.
[PAUL] Uh...
Okay. Okay, yeah, now...
Okay, I see it. Uhm...
There were some complications
and I should have let you know.
[SNICKERS]
Complications?
With my money.
What kind of complications?
Well, this uh...
This software we're using, uh,
it updated itself.
And, uh,
now there's a damn glitch.
Something to do with routing
numbers and time zones.
It's all over my head, really,
but basically
it stopped tracking
our encrypted transfers
in real time.
Could you get me someone
over at ZeroTech, please. Yeah?
-[PAUL] I'll have it fixed ASAP.
-Oh good, okay.
So it's just me being
paranoid here. We're fine?
The money's all there, you just
can't see it right now. See?
No, Paul, I don't see.
That's the problem, you know?
But I like you. And I know
you'd never fuck me because...
that would make you crazy.
[STAMMERS]
I'll get it fixed by tomorrow.
-Tomorrow?
-[PAUL] Yeah, that's right.
No more complications.
No more, and if there are, uh...
then I'll have bigger issues
to worry about.
[SABAN] No. No, Paul, you
wouldn't have bigger issues. No.
You wouldn't have any issues.
[OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYING]
[SABAN] This your family?
God, that is a handsome woman.
Handsome.
You know, we should have dinner
one time. We've never done that.
-No.
-I got a good place.
You like mushroom stew?
Alright, well, then tomorrow.
[PAUL] Good.
Don't fuck up, Paul.
[SABAN] You, come on,
leave the girl alone.
I don't like coming here,
with Interpol watching
and everything.
[SABAN] How are we gonna know
who they're watching?
[BER] Yeah, but still,
puts you at risk.
-That's why I have you.
-I guess.
Did you get her number?
Yeah. You want it?
[BOTH LAUGH]
[OMINOUS MUSIC CONTINUES]
[SABAN, MUFFLED]
Take me back to the Reineart.
[ENGINE STARTS]
[MUSIC SWELLS AND STOPS]
What are you making?
A doghouse?
-A tree house?
-Hm-mm.
A monkey house?
-No.
-Can I help?
[HELENE]
Not until you do your homework.
Hi.
-What are you doing?
-[MATTEO] Keeping my hands busy.
I don't like sitting still.
Gotta keep moving.
You need to keep busy
or to keep moving?
Because, you know,
it's not the same thing.
-Yeah.
-[HELENE] Hey.
It's okay to slow down
once in a while.
And this is a place
as good as any.
[BIRDS SINGING]
You know what? Let's go out.
Come.
-Hey, Matteo?
-[CAMERA CLICKS]
[HELENE] Beautiful, huh?
Yeah.
"Remember death."
I remember when you guys
got those.
You thought you were so badass.
Don't you think
it's kind of morbid?
Why not "remember life"?
Yeah.
Come.
Don't be afraid, silly cat.
[ATTENDANT]
Hey, welcome. Have a seat.
[UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING]
[ANGIE LAUGHS]
[MATTEO] Whoo!
Look at your mom.
Hi, Mommy. [GIGGLES]
[MUSIC FADES OUT]
Earth to Moonbase 2, hello?
Anyone?
What?
You've been in your own world
since you got home.
You didn't hear a thing
Angie told you about her day.
-I heard her.
-But you weren't listening.
She's a smart kid, Paul.
She knows when you're not
paying attention.
Yeah, I'm sorry. Uh...
But I've been trying
to figure out
this accounting error at work.
You know how I get.
-Oh, yeah. All Beautiful Mind.
-[LAUGHS]
Hey, you wanna talk about it?
You wanna talk about
liabilities and equity with me?
Mmm... Not if I don't have to.
Aww... [CHUCKLES]

[CHURCH BELLS CHIMING]
[TOUR GUIDE, IN DUTCH]
Welcome, ladies and gentlemen,
to this beautiful tour
through Amsterdam.
"the Venice of the North,"
where we have 165 canals
and 1,281 bridges.
[BOYS BLOWING ON PARTY HORNS]
The Magere Brug is one of
our oldest, first built in 1691
where two sisters lived
on opposite banks.
This can be seen
on your left-hand side.
[TOUR GUIDE] After this bridge,
on your right,
-we have the famous...
-[SCREAMING]
[CAMERA CLICKS]
-[WOMAN] Oh my God!
-[SCREAMING]
[SABAN] So, I guess we can
continue our business then.
Yes, Mr Nay.
[LOUD DANCE MUSIC PLAYING]
Tell me something.
What do we know?
Not much.
-Did he flip Paul?
-[BER] He couldn't say.
My money, Interpol,
a fucking rat.
No way it's a coincidence.
Maybe next time
don't cut out his tongue
before he's done
answering my questions.
[BER] You crazy fuck.
You think that's funny?
Don't make faces.
[SABAN, UNDER HIS BREATH]
Goddammit.
[NORMAL VOICE]
I need my fucking pills.
[OFFICER IN DUTCH] Sorry,
people, the bridge is closed.
the bridge is closed.
[FISCHER] What the hell.
It's Roman.
Yes, I see that.
[ANGIE] Bye, Daisy!
[COUNTRY MUSIC PLAYING]
[MUSIC STOPS]
It looks to be a bad day for a
new crypto-currency, Taltos.
At...
[PHONE BUZZING]
Gabriel, I was just about
to call you.
[SABAN]
I need some good news, Paul.
I'm having a very,
very stressful day.
In fact, my doctor
standing in front of me
tells me I have too much
anxiety, I need to relax.
Actually, there has been
another complication.
No! No, no, no, no, no.
There's no complication.
There can't be,
because yesterday in your office
you told me
you'd have my money today.
You remember this, yes?
Of course I remember.
But it's proven to be a bit more
of a problem than I thought.
[OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYING]
Saban, you're there?
You still there?
No, Paul, you did not lose me.
I wanna know where the fuck
my money is
that you're supposed to be
watching over.
-You just got to trust me.
-[SABAN] Trust you?
"Trust me" is what people say
before they sneak up behind you
and they cut
your fucking throat.
That's a lonely way to live.
[SABAN] It's the only way
I live. Do you know why, Paul?
Because betrayal
is around every corner, Paul.
It's in every shadow.
Find my money.
[STAMMERS]
Gabriel, I can fix this.
I just need more time. Okay?
[LOUD DANCE MUSIC PLAYING]
Hey, come with me.
-[ZEEB] What's up?
-We have to visit a friend.
Alright.
[ZEEB WHISTLES]
[WOMAN ON TV] ...second quarter.
I'd love to call what's
happening to Taltos a rug pull,
but the market looks to pick up
over the next few months.
-I don't have months.
-[WOMAN] The summer, however,
has been cruel to the whole
crypto market. By extension,
the crypto-currencies have
also been severely impacted.
[HELICOPTER WHIRRING]
[FISCHER] You think
Saban's sending us a message?
No, what makes you say that?
Well...
First, hanging the body here,
in a public place. And second...
You're fucking with me.
Of course it's a message,
you jackass.
Or he would have stuffed him
in a barrel of concrete
and dumped him off a boat.
[TELEPHONE RINGING]
Hey, stop!
Stop. Stop.
Open it.

Naomi in Cyber owes me a favor.
Ooh, Naomi. She still single?

-What? Are you jealous?
Did you get stung by a bee?
No.
This is just my body.
But does that hurt?
[MUFFLED GUN SHOTS AND YELLING]

I need to tell you a secret.

Hey.
Hey. Hey, uhm,
I need to sweet-talk

I think John would want you

Pretty face. [LAUGHS]
[ANGIE] Mommy,

[HELENE] Yes, of course.
But watch the road.

[MATTEO] I'm talking about this.
This life. You got a wife.
A kid on the way.
[JOHN] Enough, enough.
-[CHUCKLES]
[PANTING] No, seriously.
I know what you mean.
Listen, we're family.
You, me, Helene.
And that kid, man.
It's scaring the shit out of me
how soon it's gonna be here.
You're gonna be a dad.
Anyways, we're family.
So are they.
And they're family too.
And we are all each other's got.
And we are all that stands
between war and home.
It's us.
Yes, sir.
And that's noble.
[MONITOR BEEPING]
[GROANS]
[DETECTIVE, IN DUTCH]
I have to question him.
[DOCTOR, IN DUTCH]
When he wakes up.
Why aren't you out there
trying to find my baby girl?
-They're trying their best.
-Are you?
[SHIRA] We've got this.
Agent Brasel, agent Fischer,
Interpol.
-I have to call my captain.
-She already knows.
Ms Woodley,
getting your daughter back
is our top priority.
We're setting up checkpoints
all across the city.
A scooter won't get through
without us searching it.
But I do need to ask him
some questions.
[MAN, IN DUTCH] Wait. Wait!
[MATTEO BREATHING HEAVILY]
Think I could get
some clothes on first?
You got somewhere
you need to be?
[MATTEO] Yeah.
Gotta get Angie back.
How are you gonna do that?
I'll start by doing your job and
find the people who took her.
Those two guys
you turned into headstones
were both Consociation.
You thought this had
something to do with me.
You're the unknown factor.
No driver's license,
no home address, no cellphone,
no bank accounts,
no fingerprints on file,
not even a file really.
Except a name. Matteo Donner.
And some redacted military
service. Nothing but a passport.
What's the Consociation?
It's like the NATO
of organized crime.
An international alliance
of extortionists,
murderers, counterfeiters,
you name it.
And when you attack one,
you attack all of them.
The branch that took Angie
is run by Gabriel Saban.
[STAMMERS] What do they want?
Money?
We're not sure.
This isn't their usual MO.
Jesus, what is their usual MO?
Young girls no one will miss.
Snatch them off the streets,
drug them,
ship them all over the world.
But never a girl
as young as Angie.
Not in this city
and certainly not so loud.
So it's personal.
You tell me.
I don't know these guys.
But I'll go make
some introductions.
Keep talking like that and
we'll see if these still fit.
Calm down, big guy,
we all want the same thing.
So let us do our jobs.
You've created enough of a mess.
But if any of you know anything,
now is the time to say so.
We're monitoring your home,
phones, internet.
We'll know if they make contact.
What are we supposed to do,
just sit around and wait?
[FISCHER]
Listen, I know this is hard,
but I need you to trust us
and stay calm.
How can I be calm, knowing
my little girl is out there
terrified and alone? How?
-Come on.
-Tell me.
[PAUL] Come on, let's go home.
There's nothing we can do here.
[PAUL, WHISPERING]
Calm down. It'll be okay.
So you can reach her when you're
about to do something stupid.
[PAUL] Thank you.
[BABY CRYING]
This is all connected, isn't it?
Roman, Saban, the girl.
I don't know.
But we're gonna find out.
Letting him walk out of here
is like...
putting a wildcat in your pants.
[OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYING]
[MUSIC SWELLS AND STOPS]
[DOOR SQUEAKING]
[FISCHER] Bye.
[MUTED DANCE MUSIC PLAYING]
[SNIFFLES]
[SABAN] Hi.
What do you say
when someone says hello?
-Ber.
-[ANGIE SOBBING]
Are you scared of that big guy?
I am.
I'm Gabriel.
I know you're afraid,
but you don't have to be.
You're gonna go home
really soon, okay?
Okay?
[SABAN] Talk.
[BER] Lo said that Interpol
was at the hospital,
but the Woodley's didn't go
with them.
I don't think Paul
told them anything.
Okay, good.
The Consociation wants the
Sindikheth's access to Thailand.
We cannot lose that,
do you understand?
[ANGIE, SOFTLY] I wanna go home.
What am I gonna do
with this kid?
[BER] I don't know.
Maybe we can give her
to the Thais.
-Ber, what's wrong with you?
-[SNICKERS]
It's actually not a bad idea.
They like that kind of thing
over there.
[SOBS]
Do you want some juice,
sweetheart?
A little juice?
[PEACEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]
[JOHN] We've been talking about
that we wanted to ask you
if you wanna be
our daughter's godfather.
Are you serious?
[JOHN] It means,
if something happens to me,
then you're gonna watch
over her.
I'd be honored.
That's good, because, uh,
everybody else I asked said no.
[LAUGHING]
We're family.
[PAUL] Here.
-This will help you calm down.
-I don't want to calm down.
-Drink some water.
-No.
[FOOTSTEPS SOUNDING]
-Do you know the combination?
-What are you doing?
There's only one way
to get Angie back alive.
-I have to go get her.
-What do you mean, go get her?
Six twelve, it's six twelve.
It's her birthday.
[PAUL] Hey. Hey, whoa whoa whoa.
You heard
what that Interpol agent said.
She said Saban's got men
everywhere. Right?
He's like this Eurotrash
fucking Tony Montana
who's in bed with one of the
most ruthless gangs in Thailand.
And if you attack one of them,
you attack them all.
They're gonna kill us,
our friends,
everyone we know.
Everyone we know!
How do you know
he's connected to the Thai?
The agent.
She called it
the NATO of organized crime.
She didn't say anything
about the Thai.
I don't know, man.
You've got a concussion.
-[HELENE] What's going on?
-He knows who took Angie.
-What? [SCOFFS]
-Why didn't they ask for ransom?
-How the hell should I know?
-Where is she?
-I don't know!
-[HELENE] Stop!
-[PAUL MOANS]
-Stop!
[MATTEO]
Where is she?! Where is she?!
Okay, okay, okay. It's my fault.
It's my fault. [GROANS]
You knew?
[HELENE] Where is she?!
I don't know.
I swear to Christ, I don't know.
Why did they take her?!
'Cause I took their money
and now they want it back.
-Give it back to them!
-I don't have it.
-How much?!
-15 million euros.
[HELENE]
So we just let them take her?
You can't go to war
with these guys, you can't.
Well, actually, I can.
[WHISPERS] Helene, I'm so sorry.
Helene, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]
[PAUL, UNDER HIS BREATH]
Oh, shit.
Call Saban. Tell him
you have the money,
-and make sure he believes you.
-[MUSIC STOPS]
I'm sure you can understand
my hesitation, Paul.
Explain to me again how you
managed to pull this off.
[SIGHS] I've been skimming off
my other clients for years
and I've kept a lot of it
liquidated.
I just want Angie back, Gabriel.
I'll do whatever it takes.
How much? Huh?
How much have you taken
from assholes like me
who trusted you?
[PAUL] More than I ever needed.
You're gonna bring it to me.
All of it.
And, Paul, if you lie to me,
you try to fuck me,
I will kill everything you love.
-[STRIPPER WHISPERING]
-[SABAN] Slow.
Do you understand?
Bring it to me.
[PAUL] Okay, I will.
[EXHALES]
There's a construction site
in Westpoort.
You're gonna meet Saban's men
there for the exchange.
-[DOOR OPENS]
-I just made a...
-[DOOR CLOSES]
-...bad bet.
-It's just bad luck.
-Bad luck?
He's lying.
No shit.
That's why you're gonna put
an end to this mess, now.
[ANGIE SOBS]
It won't be so bad.
You see, I was an orphan once.
Look how strong it made me.
[DOOR OPENS]
[MELANCHOLY MUSIC PLAYING]

Woodley here. I'm ready to deal.

I don't know anything
about a trade.
-[ZEEB] Whoa whoa whoa.

she's not gonna die.

What? You wanna do something?

We'll be home before dinner.
Dinner at your place.
Yeah, Helene's cooking,
you do the dishes.
[SNICKERS]
[JOHN]
Alright, let's rock and roll.
-Turn off the lights.
-[MATTEO] Copy.
[JOHN] Go to silent.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]
You are probably all wondering,
why have these monsters...
[DISTORTED VOICE] ...taken
the National Opera hostage,
the night...
[NORMAL VOICE] ...before
their grand opening performance?
[JOHN] Team leader in position.
Enemy in sight.
[SPEC-OP] Copy that.
Charlie heading in position.
[MERC LEADER]
I assure you, we do not.
[MATTEO] John?
[JOHN] I see it.
All teams, wait for my order.
[SPEC-OP]
Copy. Waiting for the orders.
[MERC LEADER]
Our agenda is strictly monetary.
[MATTEO] I don't know, John.
[JOHN] He's bluffing.
It's all about money.
[MERC LEADER] ...conduct again,
all you have to do
is help us meet our goal
of 300 million. And to...
[DISTORTED VOICE]
...show you the kind of
production
we hope to entertain...
[NORMAL VOICE] ...you with.
Miss Mollini.
-[MATTEO] Let me ice this prick.
-[JOHN] No.
Wait till we're all in position.
We can floor him.
[MERC LEADER]
Come, come, come, come.
Our... [DISTORTED VOICE]
...beautiful nightingale,
please...
-[NORMAL VOICE] ...sing for us.
-[WHIMPERS]
[MATTEO PANTING]
[JOHN]
Easy, soldier, he's bluffing.
[MERC LEADER] Sing. Sing for us.
Sing for us one...
-[SHOT FIRES]
-...last time.
-[MATTEO GROWLS]
-[JOHN] No!
Stand down, you hear me?
Stand down.

You have one hour.

Move, move, move!
[SPEC-OP] Copy that, moving in.
-[MERC SHOUTS]
-[SHOTS FIRE]
[MERCS SHOUTING]
-[SPEC-OP 1] Bravo, moving in.
-[SPEC-OP 2] Go, go, go!
-[SPEC-OP 1] Moving in.
-[SPEC-OP 2] Copy.
[JOHN] Matteo, on your left!
[MERC] Fuck, ah!
[MATTEO] Ah, son of a bitch!
[MERC, IN GERMAN]
Behind you! Shit.
[SPEC-OP]
Charlie entering backstage area.
-[MERC SHOUTS]
-[SPEC-OP] On your right.
[GROANING]
[SPEC-OP] I think I got him.
-[MATTEO] Clear.
-[JOHN] Come on!
Matteo, come on!
-[YELLING]
-[MERC SHOUTING]
-[SPEC-OP] Entrance clear.
-[MATTEO] Come on!
-[OVERLAPPING SHOUTING]
-[SHOTS FIRING]
[JOHN]
Come to the stage now, quick!
-To the stage!
-[MATTEO] Copy. Coming your way.
-[MERC SHOUTS]
-[MATTEO GRUNTS]
[MATTEO, IN GERMAN]
Come here, asshole!
[MATTEO] Two enemies down.
Securing main stage.
[SPEC-OP 1] Team Bravo, clear.
[SPEC-OP 2] Team Charlie, clear.
[MATTEO] Team Alpha, clear.
[JOHN] What the hell is wrong
with you, soldier?
I gave you a direct order. Huh?
You're gonna get us all killed.
You jeopardized the mission.
I gave you an order, soldier.
[GROANS]
-[MATTEO] Shit.
-Damn.
-[MATTEO] What's wrong?
-I'm hit. I'm hit.
-[MATTEO] You're hit? Medic!
-[GROANS] No, it's okay.
It's not that bad. Not that bad.
[MATTEO]
Team leader down! Medic!
-[SPEC-OP] Medic's on the way.
-[GRUNTS]
I think you'd better
call Helene.
Tell her we'll be a little late
for dinner.
[CHUCKLES] No, we'll make it.
-[WHEEZING] Fuck.
-You'll be fine.
-[JOHN] We got them all, right?
-[MATTEO] Yeah, we got them all.
We saved everybody.
No, you haven't saved anyone.
I'm just gonna blow up
this place.
[JOHN] Do it.
-[GRUNTS]
-[CRIES OUT]
[SHOTS FIRE]
[MATTEO] John! John! [PANTING]
[SPEC-OP] Team up on the stage.
We lost the team leader.
[VOICE FADING]
Repeat: Lost team leader.

[CHAIN SAW BUZZING]
[MACHINES WHIRRING]
[MATTEO] Watch it.
[THUNDER CRASHES]
[BELL RINGING]
[MUMBLED CONVERSATION]
[MELANCHOLY MUSIC CONTINUES]
[ECHOING VOICES]
Whoo! Hey. Hey, beauty.
[ANGIE LAUGHING]
[HELENE] Such a good girl.
Angie.
-[JOHN] Whoa whoa whoa.
-[ANGIE COOS]
[JOHN] It's a fish.
[LAUGHING]
[JOHN] Go!
-[JOHN] Angie, smile.
-[CAMERA CLICKS]
-You quitting?
-I gotta keep moving.
Well, you're leaving me short.
So, this is what you get.
[OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYING]
-[IN ROMANIAN] Bucharest?
-[WOMAN] Yes, of course.
[MELANCHOLY MUSIC PLAYING]
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]
[HELICOPTER WHIRRING]
Well, well, well.
What do we have here?
The Sindikheth and Consociation
all gathered here together.
Must be
a super special occasion.
[CAMERA CLICKING]
Like one of those weddings
where all the relatives
you forgot you had
show up to the free buffet.
Is that what this is?
A joining of two spirits?
How sweet.
[WHOOPS] Look at this.
My favorite breakfast.
This one comes with a present.
Keeps you going all day.
So, who's the lucky bride?
[ROMAN SPEAKS IN SERBIAN]
[FISCHER] What did you say?
That's no way to talk to a lady.
[ROMAN SPITTING]
You fucking son of a bitch.
Get the fuck up!
Spitting on my shoe, huh?
-[FISCHER] Move!
-[HELICOPTER WHIRRING]
Sorry I didn't
bring flowers, eh.
[CAMERA CLICKING]
[AGENT, IN DUTCH]
Come on, stand up.
-[SABAN] Tell me.
-Interpol was waiting for us.
-[SABAN] And the shipment?
-[BER] Gone.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]
[SEAGULLS SQUAWKING]
[ROMAN] Watch it, man. Watch it.
Do you have any idea
how hard it is to get blood
out of Italian calfskin?
[ROMAN] No. Why don't you
try some water, huh?
Oh, you're an expert now?
[FISCHER] Don't be a girl.
[SHIRA] Okay, Roman. That's
a shipment off the streets.
But it doesn't put us any closer
to the big players.
Actually, it does.
So take the win, Shira.
Hitting the Consociation and
the Sindikheth at the same time
puts a pressure on them
while they're trying
to link up together.
Boss, we could get a medal
for this shit.
Fine.
But I want
the whole Consociation,
not its droppings.
I know it's personal.
But I promise you,
this was just a warm-up.
Now we crank the heat and
we force them to make a mistake.
[OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYING]
[ANNOUNCER, IN DUTCH]
The train to Dordrecht,
Lage Zwaluwe and Roosendaal,
scheduled at 8:31 p.m.,
departs from platform...
[PAUL] Yeah, Nick,
let me cut to the chase.
So, it's an ERC20 blockchain
called Taltos.
Every database will be using it
within two years,
and now for a small
no-risk investment
you can get in on it now.
Uh, just 15 million euros.
I know [CHUCKLES]
I know they've been telling that
crypto's been dead for years,
but, hey, the only place
it's going is up.
Oh, come on, Nick.
Help me make the ICO.
You'll be glad you did it.
Okay, I guess we'll have to see
how you feel about that
when you see me cruising by
in a new Bentley.
Right. [LAUGHS] Okay.
Okay, thanks.
Thanks, talk to you later.

-I'm looking for...
-[ANGIE] You're so tall.
Can you get a cat
out of the tree?
Can you dunk a basketball?
Is Helene Meyers home?
Meyers...
[ANGIE] Mommy!
Mommy,
there is somebody at the door!
[HELENE] Who is it, sweetheart?
[ANGIE]
I don't know, but he's big.
Hey.
Where have you been?
[MELANCHOLY MUSIC PLAYING]
Angie, do you remember Matteo?
-He's a friend of your dad's.
-Paul?
-No, honey, your dad.
-You knew my real dad?
He was my best friend.
Did he like broccoli?
-No.
-I knew it.
Well...
Don't stand there like a lug.
Come inside.
I'll make some coffee.
[KETTLE WHISTLING]
His name is Paul.
We got married last year.
He's been good to us.
We missed you at John's funeral.
[WHISPERS] Yeah.
I wanted to come.
-But...
-I know.
We all lost a lot that day.
It's just that...
You were like his brother.
Always there for him.
It would have been nice if you
could have been there for us
when we needed you.
Anyway,
it's good you're here now.
I came because...
there's something
I needed to tell you.
What?
-It was my fault John died.
-No, stop.
-I wasn't fast enough.
-I said stop.
-It should have been me.
-Shut up!
You don't get to come here,
not after I moved on,
and make me relive my grief.
Look at me.
You don't get to do that.
Not when you couldn't even
be bothered
to show up for his funeral.
What kind of brother does that?
[MELANCHOLY MUSIC PLAYING]
I'm sorry.
-[DOOR CLOSES]
-[WHISPERS] Fuck.
[HELENE] Matteo.
Do you have anywhere to stay?
I'll find something.
I'll be fine.
We have an extra room,
so come back inside.
Please.
[SOFT PIANO MUSIC PLAYING]
[SABAN] What is this?
It's mushroom stew, sir.
One of our most popular dishes.
This is the famous
mushroom stew?
Why isn't anyone else having it?
How many times are we gonna have
this conversation?
I'm gonna give you
another month. Okay?
One more month.
And then maybe I bring in
a new chef, a new menu. Yeah?
Think that's fair?
-Anything else, sir?
-People. Ha!
I'd like some people. People.
Go.
[CHEF] Thank you.
[HELENE] That was a good day.
-Yeah.
-It's for you.
Thanks.
[HELENE]
You know, I kept all his things.
His clothes, medals,
everything, so...
if you need anything, take it.
He would have liked that.
Matteo.
It really is good to see you.
It's just that...
I'm sorry it took so long.
-[ANGIE, MUFFLED] Matteo!
-[CHUCKLES]
And now you're gonna have to
deal with your new best friend.
[CHUCKLES] Yeah.
[ANGIE, MUFFLED] Matteo?
[BER] See these two?
They are running
the whole investigation.
[FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING]
Taking pictures?
I spoke to our Mr Nay.
We both agree that whether
this rat is in my house
or in his house,
we don't continue business
until it's found.
-Mmm, yeah.
-Now, if it is in my house,
it's up to you two to find it.
Fast.
[DOOR CLOSES]
-Hey.
-Hey.
-How was your day?
-Well...
Where's the hobbit?
There.
[ANGIE, MUFFLED] There you go.
Why is she having a tea party
with a giant?
That's Matteo, John's friend.
He stopped by today and I don't
think he's got anywhere to go,
so I thought maybe we could
take him in for a few days.
Of course.
[PAUL] I think we should get him
a new chair.
He's gonna break that one.
[LAUGHS]
[DAISY BARKS]
[HELENE, MUFFLED] Sant.
[PAUL, MUFFLED] Cheers,
everybody, it's a real honor.
[ANGIE LAUGHING]

[HELICOPTER WHIRRING]
[SPEC-OP, OVER RADIO] Message
to return. Target two miles.
Target number
Alpha Bravo 1-0-0-4. Over.
[MATTEO] Copy that.
[JOHN] You remember that girl
at Cappie's retirement party?
[MATTEO] The one
in the blue dress, you mean?
[JOHN] That's the one. Skylar.
You pretended you were too drunk
to dance.
[MATTEO] I don't dance.
[JOHN] Why? Are you too tall?
You think you'd look stupid?
-[MATTEO] I've seen you dance.
-[BOTH LAUGH]
-We're in position. Ready to go.
-[SPEC-OP] Copy that.
[JOHN] Look, all I'm saying is
that when we get back home,
you oughta give that girl
a call.
Take her out for dinner.
-That's Helene's idea, isn't it?
-[JOHN] No. No, no.
Did she say something
about it too?
Just that if I didn't call her,
I was gonna die alone.
[CHUCKLES]
I fucking love that woman.
She went straight
for the jugular, huh?
She just wants you to be happy.
-Tell her I am happy.
-[JOHN] You tell her yourself.
But I bet she loves it when
you're out in the field, huh?
Instead of hanging
around the house.
At least when I'm out here,
she can't hound me
about building those gazebos
in the back yard, man.
[MATTEO] Oh, there we go.
Target in sight.
-By the way...
-[MATTEO EXHALES]
-Helene's pregnant.
-[SHOT FIRES]
Couldn't you wait
until after the shot?
[SHOT FIRES]
-I thought you wanted to know.
-[TWO SHOTS FIRE]
-Any idea who the father is?
-[THREE SHOTS FIRE]
I got a pretty good idea.
[MATTEO]
Coast clear. Bravo, move in.
-You fucker.
-[SPEC-OP 1] Bravo moving in.
[SPEC-OP 2]
We've got the assets.
[SPEC-OP 1] See you
at the rendezvous point.
[JOHN] You give
that Skylar girl a call.
[MATTEO] I'll think about it.
[JOHN] You think about it?
There's nothing to think about.
-You do it when we get home.
-[MATTEO LAUGHS, SOUND FADING]
[HELENE] Angie?
You coming to bed?
Come.
-I like him.
-You do?
Me too.
[ANGIE]
He's been alone for a long time.
I think he needs a new friend.
[SNICKERS] You're right, honey.
-[IN FRENCH] Goodnight, honey.
-[IN FRECH] Goodnight.
[PAUL] There you go, buddy.
[CRICKETS CHIRPING]
-[PAUL SIGHS]
-[BIRDS SINGING]
Bet you've seen beautiful skies
all over the world, huh?
You got a favorite spot?
Afghanistan.
Seriously?
The night there
is quiet. It's...
peaceful.
[PAUL] Must be hard,
coming home
with nothing left to fight for.
There's always something
to fight for.
Yeah.
Of course.
Good talking to you. Goodnight.
He's not gonna pee
on the carpet.
[LAUGHS] No.
-But he's just like...
-Like what?
Uh... I don't know.
I was just trying to find
a nice way
to say "like he's damaged."
You know...
John never could talk much
about it, but...
the things they did,
they saw over there,
they deal with it different
than us.
Okay? So, try and cut him
a little slack.
Yeah, I know, I know.
I'm just a little, uh...
What? Intimidated?
Hey, cut me some slack,
will you?
He's a ghost from your past,
so maybe I am a little bit.
Well, you shouldn't be.
'Cause I'm not looking back.
I'm moving forward.
It's all I want to do now.
I hope it's not all
you want to do.
[MELANCHOLY MUSIC PLAYING]
[UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING]
I'm late.
I can't do this every day.
[DAISY WHINING]
[ANGIE] Will you take care
of Daisy for me?
Yeah.
Will you be here
when I get back?
I don't know.
Then we can have
another tea party.
-[MUSIC STOPS]
-How can you say no to that?
Thank you.
Bye, Daisy!
[DAISY WHINING]
Yes, James,
you can count on that of course.
Uh...
Let me call you right back.
Okay.
-[PAUL] Gabriel.
-Paul.
[PAUL] Hey.
-Well, please.
-Sit down.
Uh, can I get you something?
Coffee, tea, Dr Pepper?
No, caffeine upsets
my acid reflux.
Well, you coming here
isn't exactly good
for my acid reflux either.
-What's going on?
-I don't know, Paul.
I was hoping you could tell me
what's going on.
-What is this? A riddle?
-[SABAN] Yes, it's a riddle.
And the riddle is: What the fuck
happened to my 15 million euros
that mysteriously disappeared
from my accounts, Paul?
-Oh.
-Oh.
Uh... Let me check it out.
[PAUL] Uh...
Okay. Okay, yeah, now...
Okay, I see it. Uhm...
There were some complications
and I should have let you know.
[SNICKERS]
Complications?
With my money.
What kind of complications?
Well, this uh...
This software we're using, uh,
it updated itself.
And, uh,
now there's a damn glitch.
Something to do with routing
numbers and time zones.
It's all over my head, really,
but basically
it stopped tracking
our encrypted transfers
in real time.
Could you get me someone
over at ZeroTech, please. Yeah?
-[PAUL] I'll have it fixed ASAP.
-Oh good, okay.
So it's just me being
paranoid here. We're fine?
The money's all there, you just
can't see it right now. See?
No, Paul, I don't see.
That's the problem, you know?
But I like you. And I know
you'd never fuck me because...
that would make you crazy.
[STAMMERS]
I'll get it fixed by tomorrow.
-Tomorrow?
-[PAUL] Yeah, that's right.
No more complications.
No more, and if there are, uh...
then I'll have bigger issues
to worry about.
[SABAN] No. No, Paul, you
wouldn't have bigger issues. No.
You wouldn't have any issues.
[OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYING]
[SABAN] This your family?
God, that is a handsome woman.
Handsome.
You know, we should have dinner
one time. We've never done that.
-No.
-I got a good place.
You like mushroom stew?
Alright, well, then tomorrow.
[PAUL] Good.
Don't fuck up, Paul.
[SABAN] You, come on,
leave the girl alone.
I don't like coming here,
with Interpol watching
and everything.
[SABAN] How are we gonna know
who they're watching?
[BER] Yeah, but still,
puts you at risk.
-That's why I have you.
-I guess.
Did you get her number?
Yeah. You want it?
[BOTH LAUGH]
[OMINOUS MUSIC CONTINUES]
[SABAN, MUFFLED]
Take me back to the Reineart.
[ENGINE STARTS]
[MUSIC SWELLS AND STOPS]
What are you making?
A doghouse?
-A tree house?
-Hm-mm.
A monkey house?
-No.
-Can I help?
[HELENE]
Not until you do your homework.
Hi.
-What are you doing?
-[MATTEO] Keeping my hands busy.
I don't like sitting still.
Gotta keep moving.
You need to keep busy
or to keep moving?
Because, you know,
it's not the same thing.
-Yeah.
-[HELENE] Hey.
It's okay to slow down
once in a while.
And this is a place
as good as any.
[BIRDS SINGING]
You know what? Let's go out.
Come.
-Hey, Matteo?
-[CAMERA CLICKS]
[HELENE] Beautiful, huh?
Yeah.
"Remember death."
I remember when you guys
got those.
You thought you were so badass.
Don't you think
it's kind of morbid?
Why not "remember life"?
Yeah.
Come.
Don't be afraid, silly cat.
[ATTENDANT]
Hey, welcome. Have a seat.

What?
You've been in your own world

You didn't hear a thing
Angie told you about her day.
-I heard her.
-But you weren't listening.
She's a smart kid, Paul.
She knows when you're not
paying attention.
Yeah, I'm sorry. Uh...
But I've been trying
to figure out
this accounting error at work.
You know how I get.
-Oh, yeah. All Beautiful Mind.

Hey, you wanna talk about it?
You wanna talk about
liabilities and equity with me?

Welcome, ladies and gentlemen,
to this beautiful tour
through Amsterdam.
"the Venice of the North,"
where we have 165 canals
and 1,281 bridges.
[BOYS BLOWING ON PARTY HORNS]
The Magere Brug is one of
our oldest, first built in 1691
where two sisters lived
on opposite banks.
This can be seen
on your left-hand side.
[TOUR GUIDE] After this bridge,

-we have the famous...
-[SCREAMING]

-[WOMAN] Oh my God!
-[SCREAMING]
[SABAN] So, I guess we can
continue our business then.
Yes, Mr Nay.
[LOUD DANCE MUSIC PLAYING]
Tell me something.
What do we know?
Not much.
-Did he flip Paul?
-[BER] He couldn't say.
My money, Interpol,
a fucking rat.
No way it's a coincidence.
Maybe next time
don't cut out his tongue
before he's done
answering my questions.
[BER] You crazy fuck.
You think that's funny?
Don't make faces.
[SABAN, UNDER HIS BREATH]
Goddammit.

I need my fucking pills.
[OFFICER IN DUTCH] Sorry,

the bridge is closed.

It's Roman.

It looks to be a bad day for a

At...
[PHONE BUZZING]
Gabriel, I was just about
to call you.
[SABAN]
I need some good news, Paul.
I'm having a very,
very stressful day.
In fact, my doctor
standing in front of me
tells me I have too much
anxiety, I need to relax.
Actually, there has been
another complication.
No! No, no, no, no, no.
There's no complication.
There can't be,
because yesterday in your office
you told me
you'd have my money today.
You remember this, yes?
Of course I remember.
But it's proven to be a bit more
of a problem than I thought.
[OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYING]
Saban, you're there?
You still there?
No, Paul, you did not lose me.
I wanna know where the fuck
my money is
that you're supposed to be
watching over.
-You just got to trust me.
-[SABAN] Trust you?
"Trust me" is what people say
before they sneak up behind you
and they cut
your fucking throat.
That's a lonely way to live.
[SABAN] It's the only way
I live. Do you know why, Paul?
Because betrayal
is around every corner, Paul.
It's in every shadow.
Find my money.
[STAMMERS]
Gabriel, I can fix this.
I just need more time. Okay?
[LOUD DANCE MUSIC PLAYING]
Hey, come with me.
-[ZEEB] What's up?
-We have to visit a friend.
Alright.
[ZEEB WHISTLES]
[WOMAN ON TV] ...second quarter.
I'd love to call what's
happening to Taltos a rug pull,
but the market looks to pick up
over the next few months.
-I don't have months.
-[WOMAN] The summer, however,
has been cruel to the whole
crypto market. By extension,
the crypto-currencies have
also been severely impacted.
[HELICOPTER WHIRRING]
[FISCHER] You think
Saban's sending us a message?
No, what makes you say that?
Well...
First, hanging the body here,
in a public place. And second...
You're fucking with me.
Of course it's a message,
you jackass.
Or he would have stuffed him
in a barrel of concrete
and dumped him off a boat.
[TELEPHONE RINGING]
Hey, stop!
Stop. Stop.
Open it.

Let's go back to the office.
Naomi in Cyber owes me a favor.
Ooh, Naomi. She still single?

-What? Are you jealous?
Did you get stung by a bee?
No.
This is just my body.
But does that hurt?

I need to tell you a secret.

Yeah, I love it.

I know you're probably ready

I think John would want you

Pretty face. [LAUGHS]
[ANGIE] Mommy,

[HELENE] Yes, of course.
But watch the road.
[ANGIE] I'm just like Matteo.

[JOHN] You calling me old?
[MATTEO] I'm talking about this.
This life. You got a wife.
A kid on the way.
[JOHN] Enough, enough.
-[CHUCKLES]
[PANTING] No, seriously.
I know what you mean.
Listen, we're family.
You, me, Helene.
And that kid, man.
It's scaring the shit out of me
how soon it's gonna be here.
You're gonna be a dad.
Anyways, we're family.
So are they.
And they're family too.
And we are all each other's got.
And we are all that stands
between war and home.
It's us.
Yes, sir.
And that's noble.
[MONITOR BEEPING]
[GROANS]
[DETECTIVE, IN DUTCH]
I have to question him.
[DOCTOR, IN DUTCH]
When he wakes up.
Why aren't you out there
trying to find my baby girl?
-They're trying their best.
-Are you?
[SHIRA] We've got this.
Agent Brasel, agent Fischer,
Interpol.
-I have to call my captain.
-She already knows.
Ms Woodley,
getting your daughter back
is our top priority.
We're setting up checkpoints
all across the city.
A scooter won't get through
without us searching it.
But I do need to ask him
some questions.
[MAN, IN DUTCH] Wait. Wait!
[MATTEO BREATHING HEAVILY]
Think I could get
some clothes on first?
You got somewhere
you need to be?
[MATTEO] Yeah.
Gotta get Angie back.
How are you gonna do that?
I'll start by doing your job and
find the people who took her.
Those two guys
you turned into headstones
were both Consociation.
You thought this had
something to do with me.
You're the unknown factor.
No driver's license,
no home address, no cellphone,
no bank accounts,
no fingerprints on file,
not even a file really.
Except a name. Matteo Donner.
And some redacted military
service. Nothing but a passport.
What's the Consociation?
It's like the NATO
of organized crime.
An international alliance
of extortionists,
murderers, counterfeiters,
you name it.
And when you attack one,
you attack all of them.
The branch that took Angie
is run by Gabriel Saban.
[STAMMERS] What do they want?
Money?
We're not sure.
This isn't their usual MO.
Jesus, what is their usual MO?
Young girls no one will miss.
Snatch them off the streets,
drug them,
ship them all over the world.
But never a girl
as young as Angie.
Not in this city
and certainly not so loud.
So it's personal.
You tell me.
I don't know these guys.
But I'll go make
some introductions.
Keep talking like that and
we'll see if these still fit.
Calm down, big guy,
we all want the same thing.
So let us do our jobs.
You've created enough of a mess.
But if any of you know anything,
now is the time to say so.
We're monitoring your home,
phones, internet.
We'll know if they make contact.
What are we supposed to do,
just sit around and wait?
[FISCHER]
Listen, I know this is hard,
but I need you to trust us
and stay calm.
How can I be calm, knowing
my little girl is out there
terrified and alone? How?
-Come on.
-Tell me.
[PAUL] Come on, let's go home.
There's nothing we can do here.
[PAUL, WHISPERING]
Calm down. It'll be okay.
So you can reach her when you're
about to do something stupid.
[PAUL] Thank you.
[BABY CRYING]
This is all connected, isn't it?
Roman, Saban, the girl.
I don't know.
But we're gonna find out.
Letting him walk out of here
is like...
putting a wildcat in your pants.
[OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYING]
[MUSIC SWELLS AND STOPS]
[DOOR SQUEAKING]
[FISCHER] Bye.
[MUTED DANCE MUSIC PLAYING]
[SNIFFLES]
[SABAN] Hi.
What do you say
when someone says hello?
-Ber.
-[ANGIE SOBBING]
Are you scared of that big guy?
I am.
I'm Gabriel.
I know you're afraid,
but you don't have to be.
You're gonna go home
really soon, okay?
Okay?
[SABAN] Talk.
[BER] Lo said that Interpol
was at the hospital,
but the Woodley's didn't go
with them.
I don't think Paul
told them anything.
Okay, good.
The Consociation wants the
Sindikheth's access to Thailand.
We cannot lose that,
do you understand?
[ANGIE, SOFTLY] I wanna go home.
What am I gonna do
with this kid?
[BER] I don't know.
Maybe we can give her
to the Thais.
-Ber, what's wrong with you?
-[SNICKERS]
It's actually not a bad idea.
They like that kind of thing
over there.
[SOBS]
Do you want some juice,
sweetheart?
A little juice?
[PEACEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]
[JOHN] We've been talking about
that we wanted to ask you
if you wanna be
our daughter's godfather.
Are you serious?
[JOHN] It means,
if something happens to me,
then you're gonna watch
over her.
I'd be honored.
That's good, because, uh,
everybody else I asked said no.
[LAUGHING]
We're family.
[PAUL] Here.
-This will help you calm down.
-I don't want to calm down.
-Drink some water.
-No.
[FOOTSTEPS SOUNDING]
-Do you know the combination?
-What are you doing?
There's only one way
to get Angie back alive.
-I have to go get her.
-What do you mean, go get her?
Six twelve, it's six twelve.
It's her birthday.
[PAUL] Hey. Hey, whoa whoa whoa.
You heard
what that Interpol agent said.
She said Saban's got men
everywhere. Right?
He's like this Eurotrash
fucking Tony Montana
who's in bed with one of the
most ruthless gangs in Thailand.
And if you attack one of them,
you attack them all.
They're gonna kill us,
our friends,
everyone we know.
Everyone we know!
How do you know
he's connected to the Thai?
The agent.
She called it
the NATO of organized crime.
She didn't say anything
about the Thai.
I don't know, man.
You've got a concussion.
-[HELENE] What's going on?
-He knows who took Angie.
-What? [SCOFFS]
-Why didn't they ask for ransom?
-How the hell should I know?
-Where is she?
-I don't know!
-[HELENE] Stop!
-[PAUL MOANS]
-Stop!
[MATTEO]
Where is she?! Where is she?!
Okay, okay, okay. It's my fault.
It's my fault. [GROANS]
You knew?
[HELENE] Where is she?!
I don't know.
I swear to Christ, I don't know.
Why did they take her?!
'Cause I took their money
and now they want it back.
-Give it back to them!
-I don't have it.
-How much?!
-15 million euros.
[HELENE]
So we just let them take her?
You can't go to war
with these guys, you can't.
Well, actually, I can.
[WHISPERS] Helene, I'm so sorry.
Helene, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]
[PAUL, UNDER HIS BREATH]
Oh, shit.
Call Saban. Tell him
you have the money,
-and make sure he believes you.
-[MUSIC STOPS]
I'm sure you can understand
my hesitation, Paul.
Explain to me again how you
managed to pull this off.
[SIGHS] I've been skimming off
my other clients for years
and I've kept a lot of it
liquidated.
I just want Angie back, Gabriel.
I'll do whatever it takes.
How much? Huh?
How much have you taken
from assholes like me
who trusted you?
[PAUL] More than I ever needed.
You're gonna bring it to me.
All of it.
And, Paul, if you lie to me,
you try to fuck me,
I will kill everything you love.
-[STRIPPER WHISPERING]
-[SABAN] Slow.
Do you understand?
Bring it to me.
[PAUL] Okay, I will.
[EXHALES]
There's a construction site
in Westpoort.
You're gonna meet Saban's men
there for the exchange.
-[DOOR OPENS]
-I just made a...
-[DOOR CLOSES]
-...bad bet.
-It's just bad luck.
-Bad luck?
He's lying.
No shit.
That's why you're gonna put
an end to this mess, now.
[ANGIE SOBS]
It won't be so bad.
You see, I was an orphan once.
Look how strong it made me.
[DOOR OPENS]

-Son of a bitch.

The money for her.
I don't know anything
about a trade.
-[ZEEB] Whoa whoa whoa.
-[GUNS CLICKING]
We didn't bring her.
The deal was, you bring us the

You brought us the money
and you have our word
she's not gonna die.

Now you know how we do deals.
What? You wanna do something?
Huh?
Look at the ox.
Comes here, thinking
he's gonna do something.
But he sees all
