i do not have time
previously on "for this.
"
I will deliver cooley.
I promise.
You tell me something
I don't know,
Something that's not
In the file,
Or i'll splatter you
All over this bench.
Back off.
Come on, shoot me!
I ain't gonna shoot you --
No!
Oh, god!
So, how's your new partner
Treating you?
He's a real prick.
Eh, it's 3:00, you're still
Alive.
That's a good thing.
I need you
To do me a favor.
What you're asking me to do
Is an act of gross misconduct,
Subject to censure
And/or dismissal.
I'm in.
We fear Barker's strayed.
We're concerned how far.
Does everyone have a key
To my apartment?
There's a job
The bureau wants you to do.
My loyalty is to Barker.
I'd password-protect my computer
If I were you.
[ tires screech ]
Sarah? Sarah?
Barker.
You're gonna be okay.
Help's coming.
[ breathing heavily ]
Barkerdo you hear that?
When I inhale,
My lungs are filling up.
Just hang in there.
You'll be okay.
Where's the package?
In there.
She's okay.
She?
We drove them off.
You did good,
Sweetheart.
Aside from the fact
That my agents are down
And i'm gonna die
No.
i did great.
No, you're not
Gonna die.
You --
You just hang on.
Barker
We were compromised.
Only a half dozen souls
Knew we were here.
Hey, st-stay with me.
Stay with me.
J--
Jerry.
They make it, Barker?
No, they didn't.
I'm sorry.
What's going on?
Come on.
Gonna get you out of here.
We don't have much time.
We're not gonna be alone long.
All my work!
It's all destroyed!
No.
No, come on.
Lady --
Lady, we got to go!
I need my computer!
Tell me --
Is it worth your life?
Is it worth
their lives?
Because it is
What they were protecting.
Okay, we'll find
The computer.
It's on there.
Everything is on there.
Come on, man!
Without my computer,
This will all have been
For nothing!
I got it.
I got it, I got it.
No, no.
Go, go.
Perimeter?
Ellis: clear!
Go.
[ helicopter blades whirring,
Siren wailing ]
[ tires squeal ]
[ tires screech ]
Get out.
Get out, please.
What are we doing here?
Why are we --
Why are we stopping here?
What are we doing?
Because, ma'am,
Unless I know what's going on,
I do not know
What to do with you.
What to do with me?
Yeah.
We are not
Going to hurt you.
But the call I got
From sarah --
All she said was we had to
Come get you out of there.
That is all
She had time to say.
She was
A friend of yours?
Yes.
She was very brave.
And she saved my life.
And who did
She save it from?
Hey, we're not getting nothin'
From her.
Let's just leave her here,
Right? Huh?
No.
No!
Okay.
Then start
With your name.
My name is may nan nhung.
I'm a scientist --
A nuclear physicist.
I studied here,
At cal tech.
But in my country,
I work in a plant
Where we produce
A gas called u-hex.
Not ringing any bells.
Uranium hexifluoride
Is the gas you need
To enrich natural uranium
To make it go "boom.
"
That's right.
I should have said
"trying to produce the gas.
"
We've been unsuccessful.
But there are people
In our government
That would like the world
To believe we are close.
And there are people
In your government
That would like
To believe that, too.
As an excuse
For hostilities.
But we are not close.
We are very far away.
I have brought proof.
Tonight, at 6:00,
I'm supposed to testify
At the n.
n.
s.
a.
National nuclear
Security administration.
I knew that one,
Thanks.
The fact is,
We are at least 10 years away
From producing
Bomb-grade uranium.
Whoa.
Longer still
From producing a nuclear weapon.
I come here
To deliver a message of peace.
My god.
Let's go.
[ gearshift clicks ]
You hungry or something?
Go ahead and camp out here
For a bit.
This is
A secure location?
It's gonna have to do
Till I get with conrad.
We got to figure out
What the hell's going on
Before we set up house
With her.
So hide in plain sight?
Yep.
And in the meantime,
Do something about that laptop.
Now, listen.
I don't have to tell you
Just how big --
This is important.
Hop out.
Hey.
Sorry about sarah.
Come on.
Take a seat.
What do you want to eat?
Five people just died.
I'm gonna order some food.
It looks more natural.
Okay?
Didn't you hear
What I said?
Yeah, lady.
Five people just died
Protecting you.
Protecting
Something greater than me.
Protecting the truth.
Don't you understand?
They were agents,
Just like my partner and i.
So, yeah.
I understand.
[ cellphone dialing ]
Hey, toddy.
Hey, it's me.
Yeah, can you meet me
Down at the oaks?
Now.
All right.
See you then.
[ cellphone beeps ]
It's a guy I know.
He's gonna see if he can get
Anything from your computer.
I know --
It's trashed, totaled.
But my boy's
Got the magic.
He'll be here soon.
Thank you.
[ car door opens ]
[ car door closes ]
That crap is gonna clog
Your *** veins.
Arteries.
My veins
Are as clean as a whistle.
[ chuckles ]
You, uh, you left quite a mess
Back at the safe house.
This is not my mess.
Conrad, this thing is screwed
Six ways to sunday.
T-there's a giant hole here
That needs to be filled.
Not our hole.
Not our problem.
Our problem right now
Is her safety.
And delivering her
To the hearing tonight, okay?
The conference room.
[ sighs ]
So, where do we keep her
In the meantime?
Since the bureau's
Safe houses are out.
What makes you so sure?
Come on, conrad.
The leak was either
Secret service or fbi,
And I do not want to guess wrong
Which one it was.
What about her consulate?
Not an option.
There's a long list of people
In her government
That don't want her showing up
At that hearing.
Her presentation is gonna create
One hell of a storm.
It's ironic, isn't it?
What is?
The way you can ***
Some people off by telling them
You don't have a bomb,
You don't have nuclear weapons.
Disappoints
The hell out of them.
Since when do you concern
Yourself with politics?
When it spills over
Into my backyard.
Can you do something?
Get me what you can
On this.
Reason being?
'Cause I asked you nicely.
Get out.
All right.
Hey -- it's my car.
[ billiard balls clacking ]
Woman: nice shot.
[ sighs ]
Lady, relax.
Excuse me?
I do this for a living,
Okay?
I've got the room
Covered --
You know, scanning it,
Like a radar.
[ imitates radar beeping ]
Anything we got to worry about?
Like radar.
Like I said.
I'm sorry.
I'm being --
[ exhales deeply ]
No one's ever
Tried to kill me before.
It's okay.
Hopefully it's your first
And last time.
Unfortunately,
I don't believe that to be true.
I realize now
It is inevitable.
Nothing's inevitable.
We're gonna take care of you,
Okay? Don't worry.
I have a favor
To ask of you.
I'd like to see
My husband.
He's here in chicago.
Is there a problem?
Yeah.
It's too dangerous.
Anything but staying
Out of sight is too dangerous.
I'm sorry.
This may be
My last opportunity.
I will not be able to return
To my country after I testify.
I'm sorry.
You're not
Gonna like the answer.
It's important.
May I ask why?
Are you in love?
Never had the use for it.
Look, i'm just trying to take
Care of you, keep you safe.
So, please
When you do
Fall in love,
Be sure it's the kind
That makes you brave.
Will you help me?
[ door closes ]
Don't move.
Todd:
What's up, my man?
High-five?
Seriously, todd?
Is that her, bro?
I knew you'd come through.
[ laughs ]
She's not for you.
Why you got to keep everything
To yourself, huh?
Todd, focus.
All right?
I need you to pull
Whatever you can save
Off the hard drive.
Where'd you get this --
Baghdad?
Just get on it,
All right?
Do it from home, too,
All right?
We've been compromised,
And we don't know
Where the leak is.
Yeah.
This is important.
Hey.
I'm counting on you.
I understand.
[ exhales deeply ]
Man.
Everything okay?
Yeah, so far.
What do you want to do
About her?
We make sure she gets
To that appointment.
Mrs.
Nhung,
You have my word
That i'll get you
Where you need to be tonight.
To the hearing?
The n.
n.
s.
a.
Hearing
At the hotel.
That is my promise to you.
Now, in the meantime, we got to
Keep you somewhere safe
That's what they said to me
This morning.
where we can
Protect you.
They said that to me,
Too.
This morning was different.
What's the difference?
The difference is,
It's us.
They found you.
Do you have a cellphone?
Yes.
May I see it?
Quickly.
Get her
Somewhere safe.
Hey, what's
Your problem, man?
What are you
Talking about?
What'd you push me for?
[ laughing ]
You're crazy.
I'm cra-- what did you --
What did you just call me?
What did you say
To me?
Step off, man.
Don't worry, folks.
I have it under control.
Let's go, jerk.
Where are your buddies?
You're making
A big mistake.
Aah!
Where are your buddies?
They're not here.
I was just supposed to tail her.
So let's go find them.
Why don't you go --
Ohh!
Keys, please.
Now!
[ breathing heavily ]
[ car alarm deactivates ]
[ groans ]
In the beginning,
All that men had to fight with
Was a sharpened stick.
I'm answering a question
You haven't asked me.
I'm telling you
Why I am doing all this,
Why I take the risk.
You haven't asked, but
The question is in your eyes.
All right.
I'm listening.
At first,
There was the stick.
Then the sword, spear,
Bow and arrow,
And then the gun.
Then bombs, missiles.
We keep inventing better ways
To kill each other.
And now we can destroy the world
Many times over.
It needs to end.
Barker: whoa, whoa.
Open it.
Show me.
You just made my day.
Man: well, hello.
Good morning.
So, you want to go first,
Or should i?
Oh, please,
By all means, after you.
We can make this quick.
You have in your possession
Something I want.
I will give you $100,000
For you to turn her over to me.
What,
So you can kill her?
Why concern yourself?
None of this
Really involves you.
Take the money and go back
To do whatever that you do.
Do I look like i'm for sale
To you?
You are an american.
Tch.
I apologize.
That was unnecessary.
Maybe I should explain.
The woman you're protecting --
She's a liar.
And the lies she would tell
The commission is dangerous.
Our country has many enemies,
Waiting just outside the door
For the day
We let our guard down.
All that keeps us safe
Is their belief in our ability
To defend ourselves.
And in the modern world,
That is nuclear weapons.
My god.
Is this gonna be
A long story?
My point is, if I permit her
To spread her lies,
That would mean that I am
Allowing the death of my family,
The death of my country,
And the destruction
Of our culture.
And I will not sit by
And let that transpire.
Oh, i'm sorry.
Is this where
I'm supposed to give a ***?
[ sighs ] tch.
Are you and I
Really that different?
How many people have
You killed to protect
The lives of others?
Oh.
The ones you killed
deserved to die.
Perhaps that's what you say
To yourself.
Huh? Right?
But who is to say
Who deserves to live
And who deserves to die?
The guy
With the bigger gun.
Then we are
At an impasse.
But I want you
To know something.
The guy you're holding is
Someone we bought and paid for.
I don't even know
His name.
If you want to kill him,
No one here will stop you.
Go ahead!
By all means,
Kill him!
You know what?
You can even kill me!
Because nothing
Will change the fact
That may nan
Will die today!
There will be no world in which
She will be allowed to speak.
There's my world.
[ sighs ]
Is this what you call
A safe house?
Actually, I live here.
[ exhales sharply ]
You got to be
Kidding me.
We need to talk.
Man, you're here
More than i am.
I'm a little busy right no
You're gonna have to leave.
Sorry.
Are we really gonna have a
Shootout right here, right now?
Just hand over
Your weapon.
[ chuckles ]
It's okay.
Are you serious?
I'm stepping in
On this case.
Well,
That's not gonna happen.
I know --
It's not my style.
Truth is, I don't like
To get operational.
Did it for too many years.
But this is different.
Listen to me.
I-i don't got to.
I said listen.
This is not some drug shipment
Or some crooked politician.
This woman -- this case
Has geopolitical ramifications.
Wars could be started
Over what she says
Or does not say.
And the fact that there
Are doubts about Barker's
Allegiance leads me --
you got doubts.
See, i don't got none.
***.
The fact that there are doubts
Leaves me no choice.
Are you through?
Okay.
My turn.
[ sniffs ]
Aside from the fact
That I don't trust you --
Aside from that --
What about Barker?
You don't think
He's gonna have some questions
When he gets back
And she's gone?
You're a smart boy, ellis.
Come up with something.
Uh-huh.
Just give me
An example.
Like what?
Likeshe escaped.
Likethe guys from
The safe house tracked you down.
Oh, man.
This sucks.
you suck.
I could always
Put one in your leg to
Help your explanation.
Or your arm.
Whichever you prefer.
Oh, grow up.
Put the gun away.
I'm just trying
To help your play, man.
I'll figure it out.
So, what's it gonna be,
Ellis?
Okay.
Fine.
You win.
But if I were you,
I'd go now,
Because Barker's
On his way back.
Let's go.
[ magazine clicks ]
Sorry.
Back stairs
Are a little quicker.
I'll remember that
The next time.
[ gunshot ]
Aaah!
Ellis: don't shoot.
Aaah!
[ taser crackles ]
[ engine revs ]
You don't know
How to let it go, do you?
[ gunshot ]
[ gunshots ]
[ may nan screams ]
Get in!
Get in! Get in!
Come on!
Who were they?
I don't know.
I like the new wheels,
Though.
[ tires screech ]
Ellis: toddy?
Hey, what up?
Hey, what's going on
With that hard drive?
Ellis.
I was
Just about to call you.
Just make it good news,
Because I really need
To get my hands on it, okay?
Always in a hurry.
It just so happens --
[ tires screech, horn honks ]
Todd?
Yo, toddy?
What the hell?
My computer?
I don't know.
I'll try again.
Four hours to keep you safe
Until we get to the hotel.
We'll do that.
it's todd.
you know what to do.
Conrad: yeah, well, it's not
The worst thing in the world.
Boys get in trouble.
[ dialing ]
Yes, that includes
Copying somebody's homework.
Well, if you have to see
The principal,
Then that's
What we'll do.
Yeah, I got to go.
I got to go, sweetie.
Yes.
Taking a bite out of crime,
Are we?
My own kid -- only 10,
And he's gone over
To the dark side.
You know, I can't imagine
The conversations you must
Have with your wife.
Oh, no?
And how's your life?
Perfect.
Yeah?
Wouldn't change a thing.
Hmm.
It's all here.
So, what'd you
Come up with?
We connected him
To the incident.
So, he's dirty?
He was their handler,
But he sold them out?
Did you arrange
Everything?
It's all set.
He's expecting a meeting
At dublin oaks in an hour.
I want to see
My husband.
We've been over this --
It's too dangerous.
Who was that man
In your apartment?
Nothing to do with you.
You lied to your partner
When he asked you about him.
You knew who he was.
Why did you lie?
Listen, my job is to
Keep you safe and get you
To your destination,
Not to answer
A lot of questions.
Tell me why you lied
To your partner.
Please, just drop it.
Okay?
[ sighs ]
I will.
Good.
But only if I am allowed
To see my husband.
[ sighs ]
Killing me.
What?
[ sighs ]
Problem?
She's insisting
On seeing her husband.
You told her no,
Right?
I think it's something
She really needs to do, man.
I mean, she said she
Needs to do this if
She's gonna testify.
Testify or not,
That is up to her.
Our job
Is to get her there.
Well, she's risked her life
To get this far.
I don't know.
What do you
Want me to tell you?
Maybe we got to help her.
I'll tell you what --
Ellis.
Yeah.
Todd jaracki --
Friend of yours, right?
Guy in c.
t.
At the bureau.
I know him a little.
He's a friend of yours.
Hit-and-run
While crossing the street.
I thought
You should know.
[ laughing ] no.
I just spoke to him
A second ago.
How bad?
Bad.
Kind of touch-and-go
Right now.
Sorry.
No way
This is unrelated.
We move forward.
We keep moving forward,
And we figure it out.
Has your partner told you
About my request?
He has.
And?
We got a stop to make first
To tie up a loose end.
Afterwards, we'll talk
About seeing your husband.
Let's go, please.
Can I help you?
Actually
I'm here to help you,
jerry.
[ laughs ]
Do I know you?
Look,
I-i have a meeting.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I know.
You got a call about showing up
Here about a very big deal.
I'm your meeting, jerry.
Sitdown.
[ laughs ]
I'm sorry, jerry.
I'm sorry.
[ laughs ]
Go ahead.
[ panting ] what?
You wanted her dead.
Do it.
Make her dead.
Sit down.
Now, do you know
Who she is?
Do you know who she is?
I asked you a question.
Yes,
I know who she is.
Good boy.
[ sighs ]
So
Go ahead and kill her.
[ breathing shakily ]
Come on.
Come on.
That's what you're
Being paid for, right?
You arranged it.
Go ahead.
Kill her.
This
Is agent thomas cole.
Look at him.
He and his wife
Just had a baby girl last month.
And her name is lola.
Can you say that, jerry?
Lola?
Say her name, jerry.
Lola.
[ voice breaking ]
Lola.
Agent tim noonan.
He and his wife
Just celebrated their second
Anniversary recently.
And last
But not least --
Agent sarah brenner.
Her daughter just lost
Her first tooth last month.
She was my friend.
Now, do you know what she said
To me when she was dying?
[ chuckles ]
She said your name,
Jerry.
I --
Shut up!
We got your brother's
Bank account.
Your brother
The plumber --
He just deposited
A half a million dollars.
Some piping job,
Isn't it?
Look at me, jerry.
Look at me.
[ panting ]
You were their handler.
You were
Supposed to protect them.
You did this for money.
For money, you did this.
I hate guys like you,
Jerry.
With your
B-minus vocabularies,
You sit behind a desk,
You pick up a phone,
And you think
You got all the power.
You think it's just a game,
Don't you?
[ sobbing ]
Well
game over, jerry.
[ stammering ]
[ gun clicks ]
Get this ***
Out of my face.
Now.
Call your husband.
You do realize just how
Dangerous thiit's a risk
Is you'ri'm willing to take.
I may not have another chance
To see my husband.
Well
Let's make the most of it.
You do exactly as you're told
And you stay right next to me.
Of course.
It's almost over.
It is just the beginning.
Barker: wait here.
Call your husband.
[ cellphone ringing ]
May nan.
May nan!
May nan!
[ gunshots ]
You all right?
Yeah.
The husband's
The one trying to kill her!
Get to may nan!
[ gunshot ]
[ gunshot ]
Aah!
Aaaaaaah!
[ bones crack ]
[ beeps ]
[ cellphone ringing ]
[ ringing stops ]
I don't understand.
That is the problem.
[ gasps ]
[ gunshots ]
[ crying ] why?!
Why?!
Why?!
You look like crap.
This was
My favorite jacket.
[ magazine clicks ]
I can't.
You can't stop now.
He was my strength.
And it was all a lie.
You're just gonna have to
Believe in what you're doing.
I-i can imagine
What you must be feeling,
But you don't have time for it
Right now.
We got 20 minutes
To get there.
He was my husband.
Okay.
Let's go.
[ horns honking ]
10 minutes to go,
Huh?
Yep.
Not bad.
Barker: what?
You got doubts?
No.
More determined,
Actually.
I just don't have
Any of my materials.
My computer.
You're gonna have to do
Without them.
But how will I be able
To prove --
Listen to me.
They just need to hear
What you have to say.
That's all that's important
Right now.
There is something
About the sound
Of somebody telling the truth.
It's -- it's just
Different, that's all.
And sometimes all people need
Is just to hear it.
Are you sure about that?
Absolutely not.
[ chuckles softly ]
I thought you were
Indifferent to my cause.
My job
Was to get you here.
Your job is to walk through
Those doors and do yours.
Agent Barker.
Brad o'keefe,
From the state department.
We know each other,
Right?
Roberts case,
A year or two ago.
Barker:
Yeah, we go way back.
What the hell are you
Doing here, o'keefe?
We're here
To take mrs.
Nhung.
Take her where?
Take her off your hands,
Take her to where she's going.
What's the question?
You know,
It's just 10 feet.
I think we can handle it
From here, okay?
Whoa.
Easy, tough guys.
We're all on the same side,
Right?
You're not gonna
Let her testify, are you?
We've determined
The location is not safe.
We're gonna take mrs.
Nhung
Back to d.
c.
,
Arrange for her to testify
At another time.
You heroes have any clue what
We went through to get her here?
I speak for not only
Myself, but everyone
In the state department
When I say
We're all in your debt.
You guys have done
A top-notch job.
Did he just say
"top-notch"?
Yeah.
You don't hear that much.
Well, i'd like to say
It's going to be all right.
May nan: but it isn't.
No.
I know what it means
In my country
When men in suits
Take you away.
No, it's not quite the same
In this country.
It's the same
In all countries.
Good to see you again,
Barker.
This is ***!
Ellis, calm down.
We're right here --
Right here!
It is the job.
That's all you got?
It's all I got.
"it's the job.
"
i chose this job.
Todd was just an analyst.
He didn't ask for this.
He knew the job, he knew
The work, he knew the risks.
He's my friend.
And because of me,
He's lying in a hospital bed.
If I hadn't asked him
To look at that computer
Check your e-mail.
Check your e-mail.
[ beeping ]
I'd like to bring this hearing
If theto an end.
her business,
Excuse me.
This is a closed hearing.
Mr.
Chairman
May nan asked me
To deliver this to you.
[ murmuring ]
I don't know
Who he is.
I don't know.
[ shower water running ]
[ knock on door ]
[ knock on door ]
Yeah?
Who is it?
It's your neighbor.
[ exhales deeply ]
Hey.
Just got
Out of the shower, so
Oh.
[ chuckles ]
Oh, my god.
Are you okay?
Yeah, i'm fine.
What happened?
I fell.
Does it hurt?
Ow.
Sorry.
I'm just kidding.
No, you weren't.
No.
I wasn't.
It's no big deal.
How's your hearing?
[ loudly ] what?
Very funny.
Your friend todd -- looks like
He's gonna be all right.
I know.
You think
That was on you?
The job's dangerous.
We all --
Oh, save it.
Do me a favor --
Save it.
I know my job.
You don't
Have to tell --
Hey, don't forget --
I've been doing this
A whole lot longer than you.
Another thing --
Don't ever forget again
Who you work for, either.
Oh, yeah?
And who's that?
Me.
All right.
But you were wrong
About Barker.
From the beginning.
I hope
You realize that now.
We really going down
That road again?
The guy put it all
On the line.
Risked his life
To do his job.
We got her there,
And then we got screwed.
But he still found a way
To get the job done.
Socase closed.
You're thinking too small.
Listen, I don't care
That he bends the rules,
Crosses the line
Here and there.
Sometimes
That's necessary.
It's the big picture
I'm chasing.
The big picture
we're chasing.
You know
You haven't
Asked yourself something.
What if she was lying?
Who?
May nan.
Apostle of peace.
What if she was lying
And her country has the bomb?
Or they're close?
And people
Believe her lies
And give her and her country
Enough damn time
To turn themselves
Into a for-real nuclear
Military machine?
What then?
What did you accomplish
Then?
Better yet
what did Barker
accomplish?
Hey, ray.
What if you're lying?
Ellis:
You look like crap.
[ imitates
Tires screeching ]
It's like looking in a mirror,
Right? [ chuckles ]
Hey, i'm sorry I got you
Involved in all this.
[ scoffs ]
Are you serious?
This is, like,
The best day of my life.
I mean, I was in it.
I-i was working the case.
I was -- I was putting my life
On the line.
Look where that got you.
I'm serious, e.
It's like i'm goose
And you're maverick.
I got your back, bro --
Anytime, anyplace.
Toddy, you almost got killed
Yesterday.
All right, if I ask
For your help in the future,
You got to look both ways
Before you cross the street.
You almost
Ran out of saturdays.
Dude, did you see my nurse?
She's smokin' hot, right?
Yeah,
I noticed that, man.
I think you should, uh,
Milk it, you know,
Stay a few extra days --
Try to get some sympathy sex.
You are a genius.
You know that?
I know.
Did I tell you that my doctor
Said that I was in a coma
For the least amount of time
He's ever seen?
Something
Like 37 minutes.
I mean, how do they even
Call it a coma at that point?
Isn't it
More like a power nap?
I mean, hell,
37 minutes --
I do that on my lunch break
At the office.
Oh, man,
The girls at the office.
They're gonna be
All over my ***.
I really hope
This turns into a scar.
Oh, thanks, man.
I appreciate that.
Where'd you get this?
You know, 'cause the only
Other time I had stitches
Was when
I was cutting carrots,
And that's nothing
To really brag about
