I won't waste your time with small talk.
I know you're busy.
We've got elvirus.
Like other nerve gas agents
in its class, elvirus combines chemically
with khso5
but only elvirus
has a bromine spike.
That's what your little dreams are made of.
( Speaking korean )
This isn't proof.
This display could have been simulated
in the software.
That's a good point.
( Cat mewing )
Andy, take frank to the basement, will you?
Frank?
( Mewing )
You hired me
to do two things...
To get elvirus, which I did
and to pull the trigger
if your negotiations with the government break down.
If your concern is whether I have the resolve
to do what you're asking
that's legitimate.
After all, I'm only in this for the money.
I've known Andy for ten years
ever since his parents died.
He's the closest thing that I have to a son.
( Hissing )
There's your signature... Black eyes, black fingernails.
Elvirus.
Do we have a deal?
Mmm.
Good.
I hope your discussions go well.
If not, I'll be ready.

Two days ago, an experimental v.X.-Class nerve gas was stolen.
Now, the fact that our government
was in possession of this material
is a blatant violation
of the chemical weapons convention.
This is Perry Bauer.
Hamas, red brigade, I.R.A...
All of them have done business with him
over the years.
He can procure just about anything...
Material, information, people.
Based upon the information we've gathered
over the past 36 hours
we believe he has elvirus.
And what he plans on doing with it is not known
but we think it's linked
to the recent threats against the government
by red cell.
It's a rogue faction out of North Korea.
How much time?
Elvirus has a limited shelf life.
If they're going to use it
it's going to be soon.

In a moment, you'll be separated.
You'll never see each other again.
Understand that?
Whoever talks first will go free.
The other will never see the light of day.
You've been thinking about me?
Sure, Walter.
You're all I ever think about.
You know, they don't condone
sexual relations between operatives
but I think in our case...
They'd make an exception.
Really?
I've already done the paperwork.
Uh, Walter...
Um, there's no "w" in "menage a trois."
I thought I ran a spell check.
How did it go?
Hey, Michael, you mind?
We're having a moment here.
Thank you, sugar.
It went fine, Michael.
You're so bad.
And, uh, how's everything else?
I didn't know there was anything else.
Have you made friends?
I thought I wasn't supposed to get close to anyone.
How's the apartment?
Michael, you don't have to pretend to be interested.
Everything's fine.
I know the transition is difficult.
It was difficult for me too.
Really?
Somehow...
I don't see anything being difficult for you.
I guess I'll see you later.
You'll see me in ten minutes.
Madeline wants to see us.
Our guests have a meeting with Bauer this afternoon.
The name's Peter.
Nikita, you're sage.
You met through a man named feiger
in Frankfurt, Germany.
You specialize in a broad range of mercenary services...
Attack, diversion, assassination.
You've been married
for less than two years.
And judging from the fresh scratch marks on their backs
it's safe to say
the relationship is a passionate one.
Won't Bauer know we're not these people?
Bauer's never met Peter and sage.
They were referred to him by feiger.
Now, just be careful.
Bauer's extremely suspicious.
Even if you do earn his trust
and you cross over into his world
he's as dangerous to his friends
as he is to his enemies.
Meaning what?
He's got exotic appetites.
Whatever he has to do to his partners to get off
he will.
He will hit on you, nikita.
I'm cool.
He could hit on you, too, Michael.
Here. Put these on.
It doesn't fit.
Here.
This one's yours.
Do I have to love, honor, and obey?
Just obey.
It's okay.
It's only till death do us part.
Let's see you kiss.
We'll be fine.
I know you will.
You've got to become Peter and sage.
We will.
That's everything.
So...
Which one of them cracked?
They both did, of course.
So, who goes free?
You better get ready.

Who's the happy couple?
We're here to see Bauer.
Oh, really? What for?
We're here for the job in the kitchen.
Who says there's an opening?
A mutual acquaintance.
Who might that be?
Feiger.
Let's go.
After you're all settled in, you can hang by the pool.
We got a full bar, videos, whatever you want.
When do we meet Bauer?
You in a hurry?
We came here to do a job, not to watch videos.
That's too bad.
We got some pretty good ones.
You're late.
Why is that?
Are you Bauer?
You didn't answer my question.
What is it with these guys, Peter?
They all got small ones or do they just act that way?
Is this your wife?
Yeah.
She's got quite a mouth.
Sorry we're late.
Couldn't be avoided.
This job requires precision...
And execution.
Convince me you can do it.
Well, talk to feiger.
He knows our work.
This doesn't feel right.
Meet ornett out front.
He'll take care of your fee for coming out.
Thank you, darling.
Whatever.
He has no intention of letting us
walk out of here alive.
Audition's over.
All right, that's enough.
Welcome to the team.
This is it.
Here's your itineraries.
Time line, location, floor plan.
Memorize it.
What are we doing?
We're going to release nerve gas into an office building.
Why?
You know when you got hostages
and nobody pays attention till you toss a body out?
That's why.
We'll leave in 12 hours.
If Bauer calls you into the building
you'll wear a gas mask.
Don't take it off until you're back.
Any questions?
Rock and roll.
( High-pitched whine )
10:00 tomorrow.
De anza building downtown.
He's bringing gas masks.
Got it.
So, what's the plan?
We evacuate the building and... let him...
Have his fun.
Good luck, sugar.
( Beeping )
( Sighs )
You can see why he chose this building.
Access in and out on three sides.
The windows are all tinted and sealed.
There's only one security guard.
Collateral.
Do we have a number?
During peak hours
we looking at four, maybe 500 people.
In the mornings, probably half that.
Did you run a sim?
Yeah.
Problem is...
We're not sure
how many canisters he plans on using.
He's got enough to cover the building.
Past performances?
You want to know
if he'd toast this many people?
He's going in with the gas.
This guy's not bluffing.
You, you
cross over the north side of the building.
We're going to exit on page.
Keep it clear.
Grab the masks.
Peter, sage, hang in front.
Anything comes in, doesn't look right
you let me know.
Let's go.
Michael.
Where are our people?
Stay put.
Elaine!
Hi.
Surprised?
Hey, Joe. How are you doing?
( Drill whirring )
Excuse me.
( Gunshot )
Go, go, go.
( Drill whines )
Go, go, go.
( Whirring )
( Grunts )
Where's Bauer?
I don't know.
He was right behind me.
My god! Michael.
( Screaming )
There are people in there.
Give me that.
Sage!
Let's get the hell out of here.
Come on!
( Yelling )
( Alarm sounds )
( Coughing )
( High-pitched bleating )
( Wailing )
( Various alarms sounding )
There's nothing we can do.
Focus!
( Grunting )
( Coughing )
Let's go.
( Sirens wailing )
Section let those people get slaughtered.
I told Walter exactly when and where
it was going to go down.
Who are these butchers we're working for, Michael?
Don't do this, nikita.
You don't have all the information.
I don't care.
You don't stand by and watch innocent people die...
You find a solution.
What solution?
You grab Bauer and you lock him up!
You don't let him walk into that building.
Most likely, Bauer had a fail-safe.
Instead of a dozen dead, there'd be thousands.
You don't know that.
That's right.
And neither do you.
Just do the job.
How are you feeling?
Why did you come into the building?
Your orders were to stay posted.
If we'd obeyed orders, you'd be dead now.
Well, that's an interesting management dilemma, isn't it?
Do I reward you... For disobeying me
or do I punish you for saving my life?
How about feeding us?
I'm starved.
Come on in.
Let's get acquainted.
When I first hired a five-star chef
my mother said I was excessive.
But I don't believe in cutting corners
when it comes to pleasure. Don't you agree?
I like fruit loops.
Bonjour.
So where did you two meet?
Oh, that was in...
Rio. During carnival.
The first time I ever remember seeing him
was in my bed... The morning after.
I don't know how he got there.
We were totally wasted.
Peter's my first...
My only...
True love.
Bu-but that's odd...
Because feiger told me
that you were with him.
At that time in Frankfort
and that he introduced you two.
( Chuckles )
Feiger's a liar and a pig.
He wishes he was with me.
Yes, that's my friend feiger.
Oh, yes.
Come.
I have something to show you.
You'll like it.
Red cell is giving the government six hours
to accede to their demands.
What are they?
Releasing political prisoners, lifting the embargo
public denunciation of capitalism...
The usual crap.
Will they meet any of the demands?
Not a single one.
Could that change over the next six hours?
No.
We made any progress?
Michael and nikita are with Bauer now.
We're not in real-time contact with them
but we expect to hear
from them shortly.
Six hours.
You're my little sweetheart.
( Giggling )
Three is always better than two.
Yes, yes, yes.
Great dinner, chef!
I told you he was the best.
Primo gastronome!

All I know is it's supposed to go off at 6:04.
It's a track.

Get out of the way.

( Soft rock playing )
Apparently, you two were very convincing
as a young couple in love.
I'm out of here.
Shades of gray.
There's no such thing as the enemy anymore.
As long as Bauer's willing
to play both sides of the fence
he'll continue to do business.
