[footsteps approaching]

[man over radio]
Red Star is on sight.

Headed due south.
Payload is onboard.

Stepanenko has arrived.

Wait a second.

[speaking foreign language]
You have the address of the bank, right?

Yes.

Oh, shit.

- Do you have the code?
- Here it is.

Don't give anyone the address.



Stepanenko is not alone.

- Repeat, he's not...
- [gunshot]

[woman screams]

Ahh!

Red Star is down. I need backup.

[screams]

They have the payload.

Where the fuck is my backup?

- Olga. It's me, it's me!
- No! No!

- Martin?
- You okay?

- What are you doing here?
- You stay in the car, don't move.

[grunts]

[speaking Russian]
Give me the bag.



Throw me the bag.

Let her go.

[speaking Russian]
Do you hear what I'm saying?

I'll throw the bag
when you let her go.

I'll kill this damn bitch now!

Just listen to me, all right?

You let her go, and you walk away,
that will be the end of it.

But if you do not, you are a dead man.

Throw me the fucking bag!

- [screams]
- Whoa! Whoa!

[moaning]

[speaking Russian]
Come on!

Come on, do it!

[sighs]

[coughs]

Twenty minutes. You all set?

Yeah, I'm good.

- What the hell is that?
- Avocado salad, low-fat yogurt.

- I'm detoxing.
- You're detoxing. What for?

- You're 12 years old.
- So amazing.

You can clean out your whole body.

It works on your mind
and your feelings and your life.

Everything changes for the better.

It's so powerful, do you know what I mean?

Sorry, am I boring you?

What did you say, sweetheart?

Never mind.

Listen. This Richie May.

He's got the range,
but you got the power.

He's really tricky.

He's gonna keep you dancing
at the end of his jab,

so you need to use your legs,
create space and bide your time.

And when he gets tired,
move in for the knockout.

Lees, I'm gonna do
what I always do, okay?

I'm gonna walk him down,
smash straight through him.

I don't think that will work, Dad.

Don't you worry about it,
you leave it up to me.

- You're sure?
- 'Course I'm sure.

Anyway, what is this, 20 Questions? Go on.

[coughs]

[indistinct chatter]

What are the odds on the next match?

Bully Boy, 2.8. Richie May, 1.9.

2.8 for the Bull? You kidding me?

Richie May won the last K1 Grand Prix.

He kicked the shit out of The Fly
and almost choked Garry Newman.

Bully Boy should be way over three.

2.8 it is.

- What's the minimum bet?
- Fifty.

Oh, you're a real high roller, aren't you?

Here's 500. Richie May.

[indistinct chatter]

[crowd cheering]

Are you ready? Are you ready? Fight!

Haymaker! Haymaker!

[grunting]

He's got the range, use your legs!

- [muffled sounds]
- Dad!

Can you fight? Look at me.
Can you fight?

- Yeah!
- [crowd cheering]

Stop! Come on, Dad! Come on!

It's time to stop!

Dad!

- [high-pitched ringing]
- Dad!

[ringing continues]

[inaudible shouting]

[ringing fades]

You all right?

For the lady.

Better luck next time, Bully Boy.

What the fuck is that?

Did you bet against me?

I tried to warn you,
but you were clearly not listening.

Why would you do that?

Huh?

I don't know
what's been up with you lately.

You've just not been... focused.

Lees. Lees!

[rock music plays]

[music plays on headphones]

[music continues loudly]

Oh, my God, I gotta see you.

[whooshing sound]

Babe, are you all right?

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to turn it on.

Just go, all right? Just go.

Baby.

- Look, I'm sorry, I didn't...
- Just fucking leave!

- Just go!
- All right.

[can clatters]

Ready?

Remember what I told you.

Dad, I've been thinking.
You like it here, right?

It's all right.

I'm tired of moving all the time.

I think we should settle down here.
Open a restaurant or something.

What do you think?

You know what I think, Lees.

I think we should keep moving. You know?

That's the way we do it, right?
Me and you, we're a team.

But why?

Look, you're not concentrating, are you?

Do you remember what I said
about aiming the gun?

Use these gun sights to aim. All right?

You don't look at the target,
target's in the background, blurry.

You're still aiming at it, but it's these.
That's what you use to focus. Yeah?

Come on, you know what to do.
Have another go.

I want to start school this fall.

What?

Lees, you're not concentrating,
are you? Focus.

Dad, I have to think about my future.
I have to have a profession.

What, you want an office job?
Come on.

I'm not saying that.

I could be, like, a writer or an artist.

Oh, yeah.
That's just what the world needs,

is another artist begging
on the street for money.

"Please, please pay me,

pay me to express my innermost thoughts."

What have I always told you, Lees?
It's to be independent.

Don't have to rely on anyone else.

But to be independent,
I have to have skills.

You got plenty of skills.

I taught you everything
you need to know.

After this summer,
I'm starting school. That's it.

[newscaster] Police are investigating
the sudden illness

of a Russian opposition
activist named Sergei Skuratov.

Skuratov and his wife

were found unconscious Sunday
in New York's Central Park,

after attending
the international summit...

- [increases volume]
- ...on regime evolution in Russia.

This is a major incident.

We have determined
that it was attempted murder

by administration of a nerve agent.

I will not...

Lees, I'm off to work.

Lees, off to work.

Be back late, okay?
I've put you a pizza in the oven.

Frozen pizza again?

Do you ever listen to anything I say?

- I'm detoxing.
- [door closes]

[dance music plays]

All right, break it up, lads!
Right! I said break it up!

[grunting]

Enough! Okay? Break it up!

Get the fuck out of here!

Mate, what the fuck was that all about?

You want the police to turn up here again?

Sorry, I'm all right.

Listen to me.

Get your shit together. You hear me?

Sorry, mate.

Okay. Next.

That was quite an impressive display
of anger management, Martin.

Purse on the tray.

Did you know that anger
is always preceded by feelings of pain?

[sighs]

You should probably mind
your own business, don't you, love?

Next.

We are in the same business.
We need to talk.

[grunts]

[dance music plays]

You forgot this.

I'd be a bit more careful
with my belongings

if I was you, Ms. Stepanenko.

Interesting name, huh? What is it?

Russian?

Ukrainian.

You do remember my father,
Egor, don't you?

You worked with him. The Gazette?

Kiev, 12 years ago?

He told me you were the best investigative
reporter he'd ever met.

I think you might have me
confused with somebody else.

This was taken
on my father's cell phone.

It was taken just a few days
before he died.

My father,

his colleague Olga...

and this is you, right?

How did you find me?

I'm a journalist, just like my dad.

What do you want?

My father's mission is mine now.

Nothing has changed since he died.

Have you seen the latest news?

Look, what happened to your father,
that was a tragedy, but...

I need your help to get the files.

- Down!

Martin! You old fox.

Home at last. Been a long time, huh?

What's going on, Trevor?

Old lady throw you out again?
Or CIA starting another war?

Just craving a little chitchat
with an old buddy.

Why don't you sit down?

See you found the beer.

Pleased to meet you.
John Edwards, MIG.

Heard a lot about you.

- You're bleeding.
- Oh, don't worry.

Nothing serious, just a little intranasal
tumor. Comes and goes.

Just can't seem to find the time
to schedule the surgery, though.

I'd get on to that if I was you.
Can't be too careful.

Wanna tell me what you're doing here
in the middle of the night?

[Trevor] Alrighty.
Let's get down to it.

We're here because of your little
tête-à-tête with that cute reporter.

What exactly did you two discuss?

I don't know what to tell you, Trevor.
I mean, I'm a bouncer.

You know, part of the job description
is you gotta talk to people.

When you quit MI6,
we had an agreement.

You don't mess with our business,
we don't mess with yours.

I told you then.

If you try to get back in the game,
I'd take you out.

Now, did she mention the files?

It's 12 years ago, Trevor.

Why the fuck are you bringing it up now?

You know what happened.
The Russians got the files.

Mission not accomplished.

Well, the reality turns out to be
a bit more complicated than that.

Please, enlighten me.

[Edwards] We're all worried
about your health, Martin.

What's that supposed to mean?

They will find you.

The Hilton, yesterday morning.

He was less fortunate than you.

- Who is he?
- [Edwards] One of our chaps.

Got too close to her.
They nabbed him by surprise.

The stakes have gone up, Martin.

The Russians have repeatedly used
nerve agent in the UK.

Now they've done it on our turf as well.

We consider this an act of war.

Work with us Martin, we'll protect you.

Otherwise, well...

you could end up with a new smile too.

Dad?

Lees, back to bed, please.

- Back to bed.
- [Trevor] Lisa!

Last time I saw you,
you were wearing a poopy diaper.

Can't sleep.

You need to go back to bed,
sweetheart, okay?

Some daughter you got there.

She's growing up fast.
Looks just like her mother.

I look like myself.

Listen, Martin,

I get you don't give
a rat's ass about the Russians.

Fine. But you realize those files

would probably expose the scumbag
who betrayed us in Kiev.

[Edwards] If we find the rat
in our network,

I promise you,
he will face a firing squad.

Don't you want to know who's responsible
for her mother's death?

- My mother was in an accident.
- [Trevor] An accident?

- Trevor...
- A car accident.

- You didn't tell her?
- Tell me...

Right, that's enough.
Get out. Lees! Lees!

Think about the traitor, Martin.

Wouldn't you just love to encourage
his disappearance?

Trevor, I told you before,
I'm out. Now, fuck off!

Very well. If there's ever anything
you'd like to share with me,

you know where to find me.

Good seeing you again, Martin.

I'm sorry, Lees. I was gonna tell you.

- [sobbing] Go away.
- Lees, honey, just...

- Will listen to me, please?
- You lied to me.

I was gonna tell you when you were older.

Go away. Leave me alone.

Please, honey, just...

You lied to me.

[thunder rumbles]

[newscaster] Today, American
counterterrorism forces

took over the investigation.

There is widespread speculation
that the Skuratovs were poisoned.

[man on TV] Military toxicologists
have concluded

that the Kremlin was most
likely responsible

for this heinous act of terrorism
on American soil.

Lees, pack your stuff, please.

What?

We're leaving.

Why do we have to leave?

- Dad?

I don't want to leave.
I want to stay here.

Are we okay to talk business?

Yeah, sure.

I got a fight coming up

And the funny thing is that the Russians

are talking about the Armenian guy

Bucket kicking? Like, you mean... die?

Apparently, there's a girl
mixed up in this as well.

Ukrainian girl, blonde hair,

I want those files published.

To avenge your father's death?

Yes. And all the others.

I found his log book.

The last entry was about a meeting
with a woman he called Red Star.

Red Star had collected evidence
of a chemical weapons program.

She had gotten hold
of the formula for Novichok.

She even had samples of it.

Your father didn't tell me that.

Red Star thought it was too risky to bring
the files to the meeting,

so she put them in a bank.

- She put them in a bank?
- Yes.

- Where is this bank, Sasha?
- I'm the only one who knows.

The address of the bank
was in his log book.

I burned it.

[shouting]

[newscaster] Online publication
of the files in Russia

has led to the largest
public protests in years.

Sasha Stepanenko,

you've made these files public.

The first response from the Kremlin

is that the files are "fake news."

What is your response to that?

If it's fake news,

why don't they permit inspections

of the chemical weapons lab
in central Russia?

It's like we're back in Communist times.

The extermination program was focusing
on opposition activists

and journalists, like my father.

But this isn't just a Russian problem.

The concept of objective truth
is being threatened everywhere.

It is really important that we,
the international press,

stand together, unified for free speech.

If not, lies will be our history.
