Rogue Cell (2019) - full transcript

- Hey, wake up!

No sleeping on the job.

Now this will start
you up, my friend.

One could never withstand
eight hours of my

kind of encouragement.

I'm actually tired.

You're a full day's
work, my friend.

Huh?

Have you got your voice?

Speak up my friend, tell me.

Fuck!



Fuck!

Fuck!

Shit!

Fucking asshole!

You're hard not to
like, my friend.

You and I,

we're like kindred
spirits, you and I.

- I doubt that.

- Oh, really?

No.

We are both men of the shadows

who fight the secret
wars of the world.

While 99 percent of the world

is oblivious to our existence.



We, we determine their fate.

- Who do you work for?

- The highest bidder.

Most of my clients are

enemies of the United States.

The list just gets longer,
I'm pleased to say.

This job, it's confusing.

Eh?

You and I both know
that the job is the job.

There's no questions,
there's no morality.

There's just
success and failure.

I just don't know
why you do this.

Why would an overpaid assassin

risk his life for a
bunch of strangers.

- They're innocent.

- What?

- They're innocent.

- No!

No!

No one is innocent!

Especially you, my friend.

You know, I know you.

From Afghanistan.

You were assigned to kill a
diplomat that I was protecting.

Your position was compromised

thanks to my skills.

You phoned in the Air Force
and sent in a drone strike.

You...

You killed that target that day.

- I always do.

- Along with his four wives

and 30 civilians

who had no idea
what's happening.

Farmers.

Herders.

Simple people.

My people!

Last chance, asshole.

Tell me where the girls are!

Tell me!

- I'll see you in hell.

You brought this on
yourself, asshole.

- Forgive me, gentlemen, I just
got a ear full from Sec Def.

Shit rolls downhill.

Jamal, put me in a good mood.

Did you fix the PR issue?

- Unfortunately, still
dealing with the backlash.

Latest reports are
saying that Harris Corp

is the CIA secret weapon.

That we're killing
women and children

indiscriminately in
Afghanistan and so on.

I can kill the stories
on all the networks

by the end of the week
but it's gonna cost us.

- Pay it, I want this shut
down as soon as possible.

- Roger that.

- Next order of
business, finance.

- Ma'am, we're
losing market share

both to Blackstone and XRC.

They're taking more and
more of the US contracts

and the Brits haven't
hired us in 16 months.

- I'm not worried about
the Brits right now.

But the US contracts are
our bread and butter.

Gentlemen, this means war.

Jamal.

- Ma'am?

- Make a list of Blackstone's
operatives to XRC.

Tell them we'll give them stock

in exchange for cleaning house.

- Cleaning house?

- One competitor is manageable.

Two is a problem.

Make XRC eliminate
Blackstone or buy them out.

Otherwise, we'll
do it ourselves.

Got it?

- Got it.

- Go on, McCoy.

- Xiang Qi Shu just bought
another thousand shares.

- Keep an eye on that.

Don't do anything right now

but if he purchases even
one more share of stock,

I wanna know about it.

Gentlemen, this is
not casual Friday.

- Yes, ma'am.

- The experiment has been
decommissioned as ordered?

- It's done.

All subjects were terminated
with extreme prejudice.

All confirmed kills,

all made to look like accidents.

- All verified?

- Of course.

I oversaw the entire
operation myself.

- Damon, you look like
you have something to say.

Go ahead, spit it out.

- Well, it's just that all
the bodies were burned,

car explosion, stove
explosion, etcetera...

But in three of the locations,

none of the subject's DNA was
found on any of the surfaces

and there were slight
inconsistencies in
the dental records

and no outward sign of struggle.

- All of which make for
a great bedtime story

for conspiracy theorists.

Look, ma'am, all due respect,

the operation was
shut down as ordered.

The end.

No one outside this room
will ever, ever know

the experiment ever existed.

- And the operative?

- KIA, ma'am.

- Who was it?

- David Shepard.

No family, no next of kin.

- Very well, gentlemen.

That will be all.

- Agent Douglas.

- They know.

That's impossible.

- I'm telling you,
it's just a matter of time.

- Is this line secure?

- You guaranteed me.

Relax, Agent Douglas.

Everything is under control.

You hired me to do a job

and unfortunately we
had some setbacks.

- Setbacks?

- But we're working on it.
- What setbacks?

Nasim, what setbacks?

- We seem to have a competitor.

Someone else knows the true
potential of the specimen.

This competitor lead
us to the specimen

And now...
- Oh, man.

Do you know what they
call it when you sell

a top secret weapon
to a foreign national?

Huh?

- Agent Douglas.

- They call it treason, Nasim!

Treason, okay?

And do you know what happens
when you commit Treason?

- I can fix
this, Mr. Douglas.

- They fucking kill you!

They kill you.

- I assure you that
you will not be harmed.

- And if I go down,
Nasim, you go down too.

You hear me?

Yeah, I'm gonna tell them all
your dirty little secrets.

I'm gonna make sure they send
your fucking ass to GITMO!

You hear me, you
son of a bitch?!

Get those girls back, Nasim!

Hello?

Hello?

- Don't
worry, Mr. Douglas.

We will recover the girls.

- Okay, fine.

Fine.

Let me know when it happens.

- Goodbye, Mr. Douglas.

- Hey.

While we're sitting here,

let me ask you something.

What's up with Shepard?

- I don't know, he's an asshole?

What do you want from me?

- Well, where is he?

- Was it my turn to watch him?

Look, will be back with a team.

- Yeah, when is that?

- Really?

We are really doing
this right now?

- I'm just saying.

I think its pretty stupid
to separate the team.

Its illogical.

One of us is gonna end up dead.

- Damn, Garcia, we are
not gonna fall apart

and get killed just
cause one guys absent

for a few weeks.

- Yeah?

What if he gets killed?

- Then well, dead
men feel no pain.

So I guess he'll
be fine either way.

- Vasquez?

- Yeah?

- When this mission is over,

remind me to kick your ass.

- Clear!

- Clear!

- Clear!

- Shepard!

Shepard!

Shep!

Come on out, buddy.

You know how this ends.

You should of just killed
those whores, Shep.

We know you faked their deaths.

You brought this on yourself.

- Walk away, gentlemen.

There's more at stake
here than you know.

- Clear.
- Clear.

- You guys are like family.

I don't want to hurt any of you.

- You put us in this
situation, you asshole.

It was a simple order.

700 kills and then
you get cold feet?

- These girls are innocent.

- You're a mercenary, you idiot.

You're not a hero.

You had a mission
and you failed.

Now you have to pay the price.

The same price we
all pay when we fail.

Go.

So have some
fucking self respect

and give yourself up.

- Listen to me.
- Clear!

- All of you.
- Clear.

- Clear.
- You know me

and you know I'm no fool.

I'm doing something that
needs to be done here.

If you leave my house right
now I'll let you live.

- I hate to tell
you this, buddy,

but you're a little
out gunned, Shep.

Let's not do this the hard way.

Last chance, Shepard.

Give it up.

This day comes for all of us
in this business, Shepard.

Today just happened to be yours.

- No, my friend.

Today is your day.

- 25 years.

25 years in the Air Force.

The last five been on
loan to the Agency.

25 years, 10 deployments,

and over 100 covert missions

and still my own operative
thinks he can sneak up

on me in my own home.

- I don't sneak.

I'm here to talk.

- Talk?

Now you want to talk.

It takes a special kind
of man to do what you did.

Reckless.

Desperate.

- Effective.

- Dangerous.

- So I'm a liability?

That's why you tried to kill me.

- You failed at the simplest
mission I ever gave you

and then you disappear
with the targets?

Who does that?

- The mission changed.

- I decide the mission, Shepard.

Or did you forget that?

And to answer your question,

if I had known how
disloyal you were,

I might of sent the
team out to kill you

but the fact is I did not.

- Then who did?

- We had a mole from XRC.

Rodger.

The man who came after you.

XRC had a bounty on the girls.

Rodger led the mission to kill
you but I didn't send him.

- I guess I misjudged you.

- You think?

Take that stupid
voice modulator off.

- NSA has voice
recognition technology.

If they can hear you.

- They can track you.

I know.

I know how it works.

Who do you think worked
on the prototype?

Lot good it did you.

You know I should of
fired you two years ago

when Eve died.

- Leave her out of this.

- No, I won't.

Its true.

I told you not to marry her.

Love is cursed in this business.

- Excuse me, ma'am, there's
a lady with a visitors badge

who says she has a
10 PM appointment

but I don't see her on the
roster, she has no clearance.

I'll just tell her to...

- Send her in.

Its okay, last minute,
no time for protocol

but she's okay.

Send her in.

Hello, Danielle.

- Hello, Mrs. Shepard.

- You're early.

I like that.

Have a seat.

- Thank you.

- Well as you might imagine,

we already know
everything about you

that you could possibly
tell me in an interview.

Sign here.

Follow me.

- Ma'am.

What did I just sign?

- Constitutional waiver.

If you ever breathe a word
about what you've seen today,

you'll be killed without trial.

- I understand.

- Back to my office.

Put this on.

Go sit at my desk.

Now I want you to
look at the screen

and when I get back,

you will give me an
analysis of the genetic data

and its strategic potential
for weaponization.

That is your interview.

I'll be back in a few.

Hey, my love.

- Hey.
- You sound happy

to hear from me.

How's your business trip going?

- Its been a blast so far.

- Glad to hear it, baby

and the presentation?

It went well, I take it?

- I'd say I killed.

- That's the David I know.

Hey, what's all that noise?

- Sorry, can't talk too much.

Hey babe, got to go.

- David, hey hey, David I
need to tell you something.

Are you listening?

I love you with
all my heart, okay.

Don't you ever ever forget that.

Tell me you understand.

- Eve, babe.

- Go now, we've been hit.

Everybody, move go.

Now!

Get out of here!

- Eve.

Was the only truly
innocent person I ever met.

And I,

just couldn't protect her.

So yeah, I lost it.

I just poured
myself into the job.

Every kill was about her.

I became a monster.

So when you gave me the
five target assignment,

I was ready to go.

When I found out

they might be
connected to her death.

I couldn't ignore that.

- I apologize for the
secrecy and holographic image

but it was the only safe
way to get the message

to you without detection.

Your wife, Eve, did not
die in the explosion

as you probably believe.

Was killed before she
could expose them.

The Psychodyne experiment
sought to eradicate illness

by harvesting extraterrestrial
DNA from the Roswell

crash site and using it
to create humans immune

from all disease.

Unfortunately, the
experiment required testing

on newborns without their
parents consent or knowledge.

Eve discovered computer
files proving this.

Was killed before she
could expose them.

I know I am next.

Government agencies
suspect foul play now

and that's why those involved
are tying up loose ends.

There are five women
who survived the
Psychodyne experiment.

They are the only ones who
can prove what I'm saying

and they are marked for death.

If they appear on your
company's target list

please do the right thing.

Don't let Eve's
death be in vain.

- Yeah Shepard.

I'm about to do something crazy

and I can't order you to do it

but I need my team.

Copy that.

- What are you about to do?

- Damn, Dad, I
almost killed you.

- What are you about to do?

- Its top secret, classified.

- You know if your mother...

- Don't.

- All I'm trying
to tell you, son

is life is worth living.

Yes, you lost your
wife and your mother.

I lost a wife, too.

- You left a wife
and you weren't there

to save her and your
enemies came to get her.

I wasn't either.

- You know, I've been
prosecuting bad people

for a long time.

Sometimes, good people get
caught up in the crossfire.

You can't blame yourself.

- If I don't do this,
it will be my fault.

- What's the key for?

- Safe deposit box.

In case...

- And you didn't think
to check with me first?

- I didn't know
who I could trust.

No offense.

My plan was to capture the girls

and find out the truth.

If the story was a lie

I was gonna finish the job.

But if it was true...

Things would get complicated.

- The story's true.

I mean it has to be.

I found out too late to warn you

but the kill order came
from the highest levels.

I'm talking,

I'm talking Veeps,
Joint Chiefs, Sec Def

and with private funding.

- Well, Mr. Vice President...

- Shut up, John, just shut up.

This whole thing is your baby.

You're the one that
caused me to support it

and you said, and I quote,

"This is gonna be the next
step in human evolution."

- Well what I
actually said, sir...

- And you, Jerry, you
signed off on this

and you said we were
gonna have a battlefield

multiplier that was gonna
save American lives.

That's what you guys said.

- And it still...

- I'm talking now.

995 babies that died because
of this stupid experiment.

Babies, which I found
out much too late

had already been stolen
from their parents.

Now we're gonna have
to live with that

but let's talk turkey.

Gentlemen, government
resources were used

to commit mass murder.

Now, the fact that it was
an accident, its irrelevant

but make no mistake, if we
don't clean this mess up now

its not just political suicide,

we will all quite literally die.

Now, you can talk.

How are we gonna fix it?

- Respectfully, sir, that's
why we're here today.

The gentlemen who are here
will give us the answers

that we need.

- They better, Jerry,
for all of our sake.

- Gentlemen, let me
put your minds at ease.

Harris Corp is about
completing the mission

at any cost.

That's our brand.

You want us to make
the problem disappear?

Consider it done.

Within 14 days, this
experiment, its scientists

and anyone who knew anything
about the experiment

will be erased.

- We need it done in seven.

- That will cost double.

But we can make it happen.

If you don't mind my asking,

the girls don't actually
know they were part

of the experiment.

Why the priority on
killing the girls

instead of focusing
on the witnesses?

- If the results of this test

is holding fast to what
we believe to be true

its only a matter of
time before these girls

gradually develop
their abilities

and this causes talk
and people to trace

back to their roots

and if this gets back to
National Laboratories.

- Say no more.

You'll be pleased, I assure you.

There is one loose
end, though, I see.

The owner of the
Psychodyne patent,

he needs to be eliminated,
yet you've provided

no information on him at all.

Do you not want him killed?

- The patent holder
is anonymous.

The revenue goes into
a secret bank account

in Switzerland.

We've looked for him for years

and haven't been
able to find him.

The inventor of the
process, Eve Shepard,

was killed a couple of years ago

in a National Laboratory
terror attack.

He has remained in hiding.

He's like a ghost.

But we will keep
looking for him.

Your job is to clear up
the rest of this mess.

- Understood.

Good day, gentlemen.

- Since it was such
a sensitive mission,

I thought I would trust
it to who I thought

was my best operative.

- That hurts.

- Good.

- I followed protocol.

I did my research but
the more I found out,

the more I knew
what I had to do.

- Louisa.

- Hola?

- Luisa Montoya?

The one who sent you the video.

- Do I know you?

- No.

But I think you will.

I need to ask you a question

and then I'll tell you
anything you want to know.

- What?

- What do you see in the video?

- The only happy
moment in my childhood.

- Good answer.

Your luck is getting better.

I just saved your life.

Cuffs are for your protection.

I'm not gonna hurt you.

- Okay.

Are you one of Miguel's men?

Cause I can pay back the money.

I was just borrowing it really.

Its like a little joke.

- I'm not one of Miguel's men.

- So who you are?

- I'm sorry.

Today I'm your protection.

Tomorrow, I'll be
your nightmare.

But you'll thank me
for it in the end.

Don't flatter yourself.

Shit!

- My god!

- Miguel's men?

- No, he wouldn't chase
me so far for 5,000 euros.

I have no idea who they are.

We are so dead!

- Hold this.

- What is this?

- Grenade.

- Oh my gosh!

- Sit tight.

One down.

- go, go!

Shut up!

Go.

Shut up!

Shut the fuck up!

Now where did he go?

- I need a fucking hospital.

- Shit, I'm out of bullets.

- Out of ammo.

Oh shit, there he is.

Damn that piece of shit

Get him, get him.

Take a note you
fucking dirt bag!

- Please let me go,
they're gonna kill us.

- I got this.

Siri, sonic blast.

- I think you said Son of Sam.

- No!

Sonic blast, damn
it, sonic blast!

- What the hell just happened?

- I don't know you tell me.

- You must of done
something wrong.

- Get your gun, get your gun.

- Sonic blast initiated.

- do you bad day, too?

- Something like that.

- Get your gun!

- After I saved Luisa, I
took her to a safe house.

Asked Garcia to watch
her while I went after

the other girls.

Let's just say, she's
not the nurturing type.

- What?

- Ma'am, there's an electrical
outage in the neighborhood.

I need to check your breakers.

- Our breakers are fine, thanks.

- Ma'am, this is routine.

I need to check your
electrical breakers.

- Fuck off!

- Luisa didn't do anything
supernatural in front of me

so for all I knew, I
had the wrong girl.

Amber was different.

She remembered but
she couldn't prove it.

Ms. Reid.

My name is David Shepard.

I'm here to defend you.

Look, I know you've
been through a lot

you've been through some
tough police investigations

but let's face it,

case against you
is pretty strong.

We have motive,

murder weapon,

fingerprints.

Right now, the evidence
is telling the story

that you won't.

You wouldn't believe me.

- Try me.

- Just go away.

- Okay, I'll go.

Its my duty to inform
you that in this state

there is a mandatory death
penalty for domestic violence.

They're gonna fry you, Ms. Reid.

Now anyone who wants to die
that bad must be guilty.

- I didn't kill my husband.

- Then who did?

- Nobody.

I mean.

Evan was a piece of shit.

He cheated on me all the time.

I knew it but I
couldn't say anything.

I never confronted him because,

well because of this.

He would beat me all the time.

So bad I couldn't move for days.

And he would hit me in the body

so that the marks wouldn't show.

I was like a hostage.

Don't get me wrong,

I loved him.

God, I loved him.

Now that he's dead,
I feel so free.

More free than I have in years.

Ironic, right?

- So how did he die?

- I swear to you, I don't know.

I mean, I saw it.

I don't believe it.

I came home from work and
he had the other woman

in my bed.

I started cursing him.

I got so mad I ran
up and I smacked him.

She ran away.

He started kicking me
and punching me and well,

you see...

I just, I prayed that
I would pass out.

I prayed but I just stayed
awake taking the blows.

Blow after blow.

Somehow I made it
to the kitchen.

He followed me.

I grabbed a butter knife,
a dull butter knife.

He laughed at me.

I'm standing there, bleeding
from my eye and my lip

and this fucker
thinks its funny?

That's when it happened.

- It?

- I just imagined the
knife being sharp enough

to cut the shit out of him.

I was just so angry and so tired

that I just...

Then the knife, it just,
it just flew out of my hand

and into his neck.

Listen, mister,
you got to help me.

I'm not a killer.

Please, I swear.

I know I sound crazy but
you have to believe me.

I didn't do it...
- I believe you.

- You do?

- Yes, I do.

- Wait, who the fuck are you?

You're not an attorney...

- Never said I was an attorney.

I said I'm here to protect you.

- Excuse me.

I'm Aaron Davis, my
sisters Amber Reid.

Can you tell me what
room number she's in?

- Mr. Davis, your sister can't
have any visitors right now.

Thing is your sister's
severely injured.

I take it you weren't close?

- Oh uh, well yeah.

Its been awhile.

Exactly what kind of injuries?

- Well your sister has
severe internal bleeding.

Extensive organ damage,
and quite frankly

I haven't seen anyone in
her condition survive.

The thing is, your
sister is under arrest.

Her husband was found
stabbed to death

and they seem to think that
she committed the murder.

She couldn't have
possibly done this.

- Thank you, doctor.

You've been very helpful.

- Mr. Davis.

Mr. Davis, I feel it.

Somethings not right here.

Your sister didn't do this.

She couldn't have done this.

There's something fishy
and its a good thing

you got that lawyer.

- Lawyer?

Oh.

Well its good to see
which side you're on.

- Breathe, breathe.

If I wanted to kill
you, you'd be very dead.

Do you remember me?

Don't.

Here's your reality.

One, you're wanted for murder

and two, someones
trying to kill you.

- Why?

Why me?

- I think you know why.

- I didn't ask for any of this.

Oh god.

Now those two stories together,

that was enough for me.

After that, I had a new mission.

Capture the girls and
train them to stay alive

long enough to expose
the conspiracy.

This was my only shot
at getting justice

for what happened to Eve.

- Maybe you should stay
away from the windows

till you figure out
who's trying to kill you.

- Something feels off.

- Finish telling me why
you disobeyed orders

and went rogue.

- Just drive.

I'll tell you the way.

You look familiar.

Have I seen you before?

Maybe at the club?

- No I'm not.

I'm not a baller.

- So how long have
you been doing this?

- Too long.

- I bet you get a lot of
taxi cab confessions, right?

You want to hear one?

Its a big one.

- Well its your dime on my time.

Fire away.

- I made 12 grand tonight.

- See what I mean?

Big money girl.

Too rich for my blood.

- That I stole a lot of it.

Oh shit.

I left the money in
my locker at the club.

You have to take me back.

Look, I know its a
pain but I swear,

I'm good for it, honest.

Come on.

I'm sure you can come in
with some understanding.

You got something I want,
I got something you want.

I can do some amazing things.

- I know you can, Hailey.

The new mission

was challenging.

Back at the safe house,
it was becoming a mess.

I stashed the other two girls
at a different location.

Garcia had her hands full

but I couldn't be in
two places at once.

I'm surprised they survived her.

- Do you plan on
feeding us any hot food?

- So how long have
you known Mr. Shepard?

I mean, he must be
pretty important

for you to risk your live, too.

- Let's get this straight.

I am not your friend.

I'm am stuck here
babysitting you

until your Mr. Shepard
gets his ass back here

and for some reason, he is
willing to risk his life

for you.

If something happens to him,

I will kill all of you

and collect a nice big bounty.

Try me.

- I need some blow.

Got some?

- You still owe me
for the last one.

You know I don't play that.

- I got what you need.

Here, Nadia.

- Okay.

I have some new stuff
if you're interested.

This right here, place
it under your tongue,

it will take you to
a whole new world.

- Give me some of it, too.

What?

I got this, Cassie.

And besides, you have
that sugar daddy.

- Sugar daddy?

I have a boyfriend with money.

Nadia has a sugar daddy.

Right?

Miss marriage.

- What I told you?

I told you to stay
after you poison,

they until he was dead.

- But he...
- Sit the fuck down.

In this town, I
decide who get clipped

and who walks away.

Who lives and who dies.

Me, Salvatore Nucci.

Not you.

This bitch is done.

Cancel her contract.

- Contract canceled.

- Sorry.

- Sorry doesn't pay the bills.

Now shut up and listen.

You call your other
boss and you tell him

that I have some
new product for him.

A 20 something Chinese girl

and a preteen Mexican.

I want 30,000 dollars for each.

Cash.

If you fail me again

even being my daughter
will not save you.

- So, miss Destiny.

How is unemployment
treating you?

Well, let's see.

Louis something something
something Martinez.

600 dollars, nice.

Ryan Winslow the third.

Sounds rich.

200 dollars.

Cheap bastard.

Probably live with
momma and daddy.

Jamal Jenkins.

Kinda cute, I might have to
give you a ring, partner.

Oh jackpot!

Make it rain, JJ.

Yes.

You sir, I think you
deserve a round two.

New outfit, new scam, same guy

and a happy ending.

Nah, too risky.

Well I guess what
they say is true.

Nothing beats a
great pair of legs.

- Cannot agree more with you.

Sit your ass down.

- There's almost
3,000 dollars there.

Just take it and go.

I don't wan your fucking
money, I'm here for you

- Whoever you are, walk away.

- You're kinda cute.

- You pulled this at the
worst possible time, Shepard.

I called a meeting to
order the manipulation

of XRC to eliminate Blackstone.

But it backfired.

They came after us.

They killed all
of my operatives.

Except you.

- They definitely tried.

Everywhere we went,
they found us.

- Bitch, you pull the
trigger, you're gonna be

the next to die.

- Bitch, call me a bitch again.

Say it.

So everyone can
hear you, come on.

- Garcia, what are you doing?

Stick to the plan.

- Garcia.

- Where the hell have you been?

She's crazy.

- Our survival depends on
them and you know that.

Let her go.

- Your time is coming.

You just wait.

- You little...
- Inside!

- What?

- Its you, me, Vasquez, and Rob

against the entire
Intelligence community.

These girls are an arsenal.

We need them.

- What if these
girls are duds, huh?

You want me to risk my life
for that trash out there?

- What is your problem?

- What is my problem?

That is my problem.

- Get inside!

- Get them.

I'll find you.

I'll keep you safe.

I'll be fine.

Go!

- Why did they keep you alive?

- His wife owed me a favor.

- What kind of favor?

- We had an encounter.

We had an encounter

and I could of killed
her but I let her live.

- I'm here for you.

- Whoever you are, walk away.

- Well.

If that's the story
you're going with

I guess I will
have to accept it.

Well for now.

We have work to do.

- I thought Harris
Corp was finished?

- Harris is finished.

I'm not.

Let's just say that we
have been resurrected

by a very unlikely source.

Sir, you remember two weeks
ago, the psychodyne project,

cash contract?

I sent a representative
to meet with the Veep

and the chairman of
the joint chiefs of...

You have no idea that
that meeting took place?

- Tell me more, Yvonne.

Tell me everything you know
about the psychodyne project.

- Sir, I swear to
you I had no idea

that they were trying to
cover up a mass murder.

As contractors we
serve the interests

of the United States
and we operate

on a need to know basis.

- Relax, Yvonne, I
know you didn't know.

Want to hear a secret?

I can't believe I got reelected.

Now frankly, I didn't
even want to run again.

As a half Columbian, half
nobody white guy from Harlem

running on a platform on
an America for everybody,

I guess I was a fan
favorite from the beginning.

It was almost too easy.

You probably voted
for me, too, huh?

- No sir.

To be quite honest,
I thought you were

too idealistic to make good
on most of your promises.

- Touche, and you were right.

I ran for president
to make a difference

and now four years
later, I realize

that Washington is an
apocalyptic wasteland

filled with gutless snakes

who are more concerned with
their own political survival

than making the
world a better place.

Nowadays, evil
people throw stones

then hide the hand.

Terrorists hide
in mountain caves

or in countries that
won't extradite them.

Dictators commit genocide
while the UN resolves

to find diplomatic
solutions for atrocities

they've already committed.

Here in this country, murderers
hide behind the Constitution

or public opinion that
disfavors killing the killers.

Yvonne, I want you to
create a task force

that reports directly to me.

Its a sort of splinter
cell of the secret service.

Your mission will be
to exact real justice.

- With all due
respect, I'm ruined.

My company is decimated and
almost all my operatives

have been killed.

- Almost?

- A small group of
operatives went rogue

during the psychodyne fiasco.

I know about the murdered babies

but I think they're
protecting the girls.

- I'll be damned.

- Sir?

- These operatives
are willing to risk

their own lives by taking
on the entire intelligence

community just to save
five innocent people?

That, Yvonne, is
exactly what I need.

Heroes, real heroes.

Do this and I will give
you everything you need,

money, training facilities,
weapons, whatever.

If you want to make real
difference in this world,

put this team together
and you will become

the most powerful
clandestine fighting force

this world will never see.

Known only to my inner
circle as the Cell.

- So.

If you have the team,
the president is willing

to spend big money to...

- Fiance clandestine
operations off the books.

- So?

The million dollar question

is where are the girls?

- They're in a safe place.

I would of brought them with me

but I kinda thought you
were trying to murder me.

Can you keep them safe?

- The president can.

I tell you what.

Why don't you write
the coordinates

of where they are
and I'll have a team

sent to pick them up?

- Its not exactly
grid coordinates.

But this is what
I've got for you.

But this is what
I've got for you.

How do I know I can trust you?

Yeah, you can trust me, too.
