The Shepherd Code

You know why you're here?

It wasn't supposed to go down like that, man. I swear.

You build the bomb. You don't get to plead ignorance.

Listen, man! I'm sorry!

No one was supposed to get hurt.

All right. That makes everything okay then, doesn't it?

Please. I'll tell you anything you want to know.

Just don't hurt me.

You're damn right you will.

Who triggered the bomb?

I can't tell you that.

If I give you his name, I'm a dead man.

You think you have a choice?

You think you have a choice?

Tania is dead because of you! (Spits)

Sorry.

I'm sorry.

His name is Edson.

Edson flipped the switch.

He killed Tania.

Where I can find this Edson?

I don't know, man. I swear!

Well, well.

I guess I have to find him by myself, but don't worry.

I'll make sure you will never hurt anyone again.

Hey!

It's Alex, the Frenchie.

What brings you around here? What can I do for you, Alex?

I need your help to find a guy.

His name is Edson.

You know maybe something about him?

Edson. Why you looking for Edson?

He killed a woman I loved.

Oh, man. I'm sorry.

I didn't know you were in trouble.

I will make him pay for what he did.

Wait a minute.

You know, Edson,

he's connected to a lot of organized crime people

and he's a trained killer.

You better be ready for him. Do you understand?

- I have to try. - Listen.

I run this gym, I train Mike now, and my kids,

but I still know a few guys,

and they might help us with this situation

with you and Edson.

Okay, so, you might help me, right?

Sure, I can help you. Sure.

But let me ask you one thing.

You still got that left hook on that arm?

The knockout left hook?

You want to see, old fart? Huh? (Chuckles)

What is this?

A fighter in a suit?

Why don't you try me? Huh?

Yeah, why don't you try me? Huh?

Come on, try me! - Hey, Mike.

Mike. Mike, Mike, Mike. - Come on!

Come on, Mike! Mike, come on!

A real dog, huh?

Pussy in a suit.

Got a fight coming up, Mike. Come on, get back to work.

Come on. Let's go.

I call on you, okay?

Alex.

You promise you will help me, right?

I'll help you, Alex.

Come on, let's go. Come on, come on.

Faster, let's go. Come on, faster with that.

Come on. Come on, Mike.

Come on, Mike. That a boy.

That a boy. Show me that left hook, come on.

That it. That's it, double up on that.

Thank you.

You're dead!

Breakfast, my love.

Hey, good morning.

Hi.

For you.

Tania.

We can't keep doing this.

I know, Alex.

But I can't stop my feelings.

And this connection between us is,

is too strong.

I'm supposed to protect you,

not fall in love with you.

It's put everything at risk.

But I never asked for this,

and I never wanted to fall in love with you.

And you know that the feelings

doesn't always follow the rules, my love.

We have to be rational, Tania.

My duty is to protect you.

I'm afraid I can't be focused on my mission.

I understand the risks, Alex.

But

living a life without you is just,

I just can't.

I can't lose you, Tania.

I will do anything to protect you.

Yeah.

Then do what it takes, my love, to protect me.

Do everything.

But I cannot lose you.

I love you.

Alex, my friend. It's been too long.

What do you want, Lewis?

I need you to do one more job for me.

What?

You know I'm done with this life.

I know, but this is different.

It's an old friend of mine. General Kasongo.

He's recently become the president of his nation

and his daughter is in Europe.

He's received threats and he wants her protected.

Why he can't just hire a bodyguard?

Because, my friend, you're the best.

That's why they call you the Shepherd.

And he specifically requested you.

What's the catch?

No catch.

Just protect the girl, keep her safe,

and bring her home to her father.

I have his name.

I have to find him.

Don't make this personal.

Sometimes you win and sometimes you lose.

That's the risk we all take to do this job.

It wasn't your fault.

This is not your contract.

You're a good man, Alex.

Let it go.

Let it go?

"Let it go."

He killed my girlfriend. Of course it's personal!

Look, I know you got a hard head,

and you don't want to hear what I have to say.

But if you help me with this mission,

I'll help you get your guy.

Deal?

All right.

I will do it.

But this is really my last job.

Of course it is.

You leave tomorrow.

Did you bring me what I asked for?

It's all there.

Accounts, names, offshore account numbers. Everything.

Good.

And now you have a decision to make.

A, a decision?

I don't understand.

It's you, or your family.

Come on.

I've done everything you asked me.

I, I, I did the part of the deal.

Do you think your boss will tolerate being let down?

My, my boss doesn't have to know.

Come on, man. You know him.

He's, he's a guy and

I don't need your justification.

My job is to kill people like you.

No, no, no, no. No, I won't make any trouble.

No, I swear. No, please.

But you already have, my friend.

And you know what that means?

No, no, no, no.

No, no, no!

It's something that will please my clients

You're dead!
