Bad Company

Your friend is late.

He'll be here.

Oh, yeah? I do have other bidders.

I personally vouch for this man.

Ah. Well, I trust you, Michael,

but you see, with each degree of separation

comes a degree of uncertainty.

Mr. Turner.

Mr. Vas.

The KGB once tried to set me up.

So I had to kill three of their agents

and then I hunted down their families.

The point is, if I sense anything out of the ordinary...

No, the point is, I haven't seen anything from you yet

to justify a payment of $20 million.

So, before I hand over a small fortune and risk my life,

I want to know 100% that you can in fact deliver a device.

That's the point.

Very well.

Michelle?

Owner's manual.

This is your show of good faith?

Well, you're still alive.

You consider that a show of good faith.

Now, what do you have for me?

Down payment.

One million dollars.

So when do I get the device?

Let's say ten days.

Michael, you take that telephone

and I will call you and tell you how to proceed.

You keep it on you all the time.

As for you, sir,

the next time we meet, I suggest you be on time.

Nice coat.

Well done.

See you around.

So far so good? Yeah, so far.

Kevin's got a tail. Is it Vas?

No, they don't look Russian. They don't look friendly.

We better go back for him.

You ordered us not to jeopardize our cover, sir.

Turn left.

Turn left!

Kill them!

Ambush on the castle steps, sir.

Come on, faster.

Let's go!

Get down! Get down!

Get down!

Get down! Get down!

There he is! Pull over!

You're jeopardizing the mission.

You are the mission.

God, that was close.

Did you see who they were?

Kevin?

Doesn't this all smack of extreme desperation?

A nuclear bomb that fits neatly into a carry-on suitcase?

Kevin spends two years getting close to these people

in order to position you as the buyer.

Vas won't deal with anyone else and we have nine days to make this work.

I'd say desperation was the order of the day!

Maybe Vas set Kevin up.

My guess is it's a rival buyer.

Could be Pakistanis, Chechens, North Koreans.

Libyans.

Try the entire Middle East.

Haduk Vas is a businessman. He'll take anyone's money.

So why kill Kevin if they could just outbid him?

'Cause we have deeper pockets, that's why.

He priced them out of the game.

Who do you think it is?

Well, the Cold War is over.

These guys don't wave flags anymore,

and fanaticism, terrorism is global.

Well, whoever it is decided to eliminate the competition

and force Vas to deal with them.

So the future of the so-called free world

may rest in this young man's hands.

Jake Hayes, here. Big Time Tickets.

Whatever you want I can get you.

Yankees, third base line. Knicks, court-side.

Rangers on the ice.

Masters, I'll put you on Tiger's tee, all right?

No matter what you want, I got it for you.

Big Time Tickets. What you need?

Oh, come on, man!

You gonna call me three hours before tip-off against the Lakers?

The Knicks sell out every game, money.

Since I like you, for $850 I'll get you section 24, row 9,

twelve back from the bench.

Right behind Woody with a good view of Spike

unless he got that turban thing on and starts looking like Yasir Araknick.

Check!

Hold on a sec.

What's up? Big Time Tickets, JK. What you want?

Checkmate!

Lion King? I can't do that.

Jake Hayes here. Big Time Tickets.

Mr. Johnson! You gonna go to the game tonight

or you wanna do some business?

Shit! He's kicking your ass.

Hey, don't look at me.

You need to watch that castle, he's about to bitch-slap your bishop.

You lose, Opie.

Damn!

Okay, so I'll give you $400 for the two.

Yo, J, let's get a slice.

Hold on a sec.

Hello, Big Time Tickets.

Hey!

Hey, man, I can't... I can't go.

You always working.

Hey, honey. What's up?

Okay, I'm gonna pick you up from work then we'll talk all about it.

Okay, love you, too. Bye.

I got to pick up my girl, man. So check this out.

You're gonna do this, right? Then I'm gonna do this.

Then you're gonna do this. Then I'm gonna do this.

Then you're gonna want to do this, but I'm gonna do this.

And when you thinkin' about doing this, I'm gonna do this.

And then the game's over.

So why don't you give me $20 right now and we'll save 20 minutes.

Screw you.

You didn't know chess was a contact sport, did you?

Hey, honey.

Julia Benson.

She's a nurse's aide.

They've been together three years.

She lives with her sister and brother-in-law in Jersey City.

Amazing resemblance to Kevin, sir.

Yeah.

Like seeing a ghost.

Now, I don't know how you're gonna react.

Come on! Wait a minute.

I should have known.

The mood swings, the weight gain...

What weight gain?

You're pregnant. You're pregnant!

I want everybody to know. Hey, everybody!

My woman's having a baby and we're getting married!

I'm not pregnant.

You know, we don't have to get married. I mean, marriage is a big step.

We should wait a while. We're young.

I'm moving to Seattle.

Seattle, like, Seattle Supersonics Seattle?

Wait a minute. That's pretty far.

I got offered a job there.

What kind of job are you gonna get is Seattle that you can't get in New York?

A friend of mine from junior college called, and...

Who?

Kenneth.

Your ex-man Ken?

Look. He's managing a company out there, and he offered.

So you're leaving me and going back to Ken?

No! Are you leaving me?

Sort of. But it's not the way...

So you're leaving me and going back to Kenneth. That's what I asked you.

The Ken part is just business.

And what's the leaving me part? Pleasure?

Pain.

Your sister put you up to this. She never liked me.

It's been three years, Jake.

I know it's been three years.

And we're in the same situation that we were in when we met.

Meaning we're not married.

We're not married, we can't afford to get married.

And it doesn't look like it's ever gonna change.

You know, poor people do get married.

Yeah, I know.

But I don't feel like fighting with you every day because we're broke!

I mean, marriage is hard enough without being poor.

Hey, what happened to the love?

What happened to all that romance?

You know I love you, but you are living in this fantasy.

It's like you're waiting for some kind of miracle.

I got to live in reality. I am not gonna be young forever.

Oh, I see. So you got to put yourself back on the market

while the merchandise is still fresh!

You act like there's a damn expiration date on your forehead!

Come on, come on.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

You think I like living like this?

Moving tickets, hustling chess,

DJ-ing at these little clubs?

I know. I should have stayed in college. I messed up.

I messed up. I'll go back to college.

I love you, Jake.

I love you too.

But I...

So when are you leaving?

Couple of weeks.

But, we'll talk before then.

Why?

Hey, what's up, man? What's wrong? Hey, what's up, man?
