ABSOLUTION Translation. Review by Angel.
I am going to tell you something.
I have been a bad man.
I have been a very bad man, most of my life.
I learned to not trust anybody.
I lost my faith in mankind.
I decided I want to do one thing.
In my life.
One good thing in my life before I die.
Even if I die in the process.
I need to do that for my own Absolution.
THE MERCENARY: ABSOLUTION
John, come on in.
As always, I say, I appreciate the courtesy.
Please.
We have a situation.
Well! You usually got a situation when you call me. Is not that right?
Kamal Mekhi, Afghani national.
He is attempting to procure stealth technology for the Iranians,
and I think he can do it.
Intel says that he has very close ties to Pakistan.
But, he is very smart and very well protected.
Which folks hired you to hire me, now?
- John. It is a new column. - A new column?
You are a very unique player in our world, John.
I only come to you when I know you are the only guy who can do the job.
Well! I mean, I can do it quietly, man. You know that. I can do it quietly.
But if you are using me for some kind of political gain, I will come back and kill you.
I just want you to know that.
Listen! Does that mean...? Does that mean you will do it?
It means, I am going to check him out.
And if turns out that he is really a bad guy.
He is really an enemy of the United States of America.
He is really funding terrorist activity, or any of those things.
I will make him disappear.
Hey, Johnno!
- How was the flight? - Long, but good to see you.
Everything is set up. Safe house and gear operational.
Exit route goes hot as soon as you make the call.
Are we playing?
- Hope. - Rock and Roll.
I will get started.
ODESSA, UKRAINE
How many?
Unknown, two cars, windows blacked out.
Get ready to go in, on my mark.
Diana are stunning, as always.
Thirty girls a month.
You know us men and our appetites.
Boss' actually like to do more.
We can talk.
Actually, my uncle is coming from Kabul for my aunt's funeral.
He is very close to Kamal's cousin.
The man with the connections. I think he would like to meet the Boss.
He is sick of Kamal.
Like all of us.
Well! I will be sure to pass along the invitation.
Kamal is becoming a real risk.
Moreover, you know this, as well as me.
How is the fucking Afghani parasite, tonight?
Yeah, I bought them from Diana. She has good taste.
You should talk to her, you know, if chicks are your thing.
However, you are certainly not my type.
Maybe, you have been drawing a lot of attention to yourself, lately.
I am not talking about that now.
I do not fucking work for you. There is only one way the product gets to you.
I do whatever the fuck I want. Just like the Boss.
How is that for attracting fucking attention?
The Boss wanted to relay his concerns.
Do you see? Some of us really are not into taking risks.
You do not worry. Do you think I am a tribal peasant?
I went to Oxford.
I am smarter and better connected that you will ever be.
Sure!
However, just so you should know, the Americans are not happy.
Fuck the Americans. Get the hell out of here, now what the...
- Have a good night! - Fuck you!
Now, we are going to go in, when they come out.
Nobody is going to see us. Make it clean.
How was the party?
You know, it'd be a shame to be stuck inside tonight,
on such a beautiful evening as this.
Maybe I will take a walk.
Fresh air will do me good.
Let us take them!
Hey! What is the score?
One coming up the stairs.
What the fuck is the...?
However, I am protected. What the fuck is...?
Okay! Take it easy, man. Take it easy!
Listen...
My family is very rich. What is wrong with you? What is your problem, man?
Where your family got that money?
This is my family business. It is not your business.
Your family business is a problem, but...
your mouth is even a bigger problem. You are kind of a liability.
Do you think this is about me? Get out of here, man.
No, no, no. It is not about you. It is about my bosses.
Are you the American?
Leave the girls.
5 YEARS OLD PLUM BRANDY
Is the shopping done?
Yeah, man, I got everything that was on the list.
It Is all done and done right.
Anything to return?
No, man, I am just waiting for reimbursement.
There has been a timing change.
What does that mean?
The exit route is closed well delayed.
We got a problem on our end.
But, there is nothing to worry about, John.
I would let you know otherwise, all right?
Right now, the exit parked, until I go, no-go.
So, just stay invisible, until I get back to you.
Roger that.
We got a little delay.
Should we be concerned?
I mean the problem is the job is not over, yet.
What I would recommend is...
We go over to the Danube Club have a drink and just relax.
Lay low. We are ghosts, always ghosts.
- And, we get out of here, right away. - Okay!
- Give me some scotch. Johnny Walker. - Okay!
In addition, some cigars.
MASSAGE SALON
- Hey. - Hello.
Sorry, a little late.
I got a massage.
Took me a little bit longer than expected.
You must have had a massage with a happy ending.
I am telling you, the women here are amazing.
You do not see this in Hong Kong.
I do not know, man.
Back in the day, were pretty good in Hong Kong, too, you know.
Let me ask you some. Three years ago.
I was walking by...
You and your boss went to get out of a car.
And there was a little girl in there.
Bad people jumped up, to kill your boss.
Moreover, it looked to me like...
the little girl was going to die in the process.
I am an operator, so it is second nature for me.
I went in and did some bad things to those folks.
In addition, they were gone forever. Just so happens...
the guy I saved... he was one of the big godfathers of Hong Kong.
That was your boss.
He gives you to me, for a year...
as a gift, for a debt that he thought...
He owes me.
That was three years ago. Why cannot I get rid of you?
Do you remember the Macau job?
I do.
- You saved my life, on that one. - That is what we do.
That is what we do.
From that point on, this was no longer about repaying a debt.
Okay! You became my Hintai, my Brother.
Where I come from, there is a saying.
It means, when the knives come out, if you are my brother,
I will be there for you. No words need to be spoken.
As the tong's enforcer...
the Red Pope, I will do whatever it takes to honor them.
That is how we do, man.
We live together, we die together.
We walk together, we fight together.
Damn right!
Talk about living.
Excuse me, Johnno.
Hey.
- How are you? - Hi, how are you?
- Okay! What is your name? - I am Angela.
Angela. Okay, I am Chi.
Hi, Chi.
You can run, but I am going to catch you.
EXIT
TYANER
ONE
Help me.
Help!
Help me.
Help! Help me!
Help please! Please, help me.
They will kill me. Please, please, help me.
Please-please-please, please help me.
This is none of your business.
You do not you touch me, man.
- Stay out of this. - Please, they will kill me.
That is enough, come on.
You heard the woman. Leave her alone.
No, you do not... Let her go.
- It is over now. - We should leave.
Let me know where to meet you.
All right!
Wait!
Please. Please, please.
- What are you doing here, ma'am? - I have nowhere to go, Okay.
They will kill me.
Well! You move fast and get away from here.
Go on.
- You get out of here. - No.
Listen to me. I have done everything I can do for you.
Please, get out of the car, you have very little time, before they come.
I just know you must be an important man, okay? I see that, and...
What happens to me does not matter. I know that, too.
But you are not like them.
Please?
Are you sure, I am not like them?
Yes. You are not like them. However, you are not like them.
- Would you bet your life on it? - Yes.
Yeah, I am not like them.
UNITED STATES EMBASSY
The Afghani was hit tonight. High-end pros.
The perimeter guard did not see a thing.
What should we do about it?
Do about it. That waste of space was a liability.
Do you know what?
He just happened to be the direct line to our product,
So, I guess what we are going to have to do is...
- get another line. - How are you?
I am well, this fine night. How about yourself?
Thank you, fine.
You have four messages and Victor needs to see you.
- Thanks. - Welcome.
Well, there is something else.
Three of our men was taken down at the Danube Club.
They were chasing a girl. We think it is connected to the hit.
What girl?
Well, she was with our friend.
Shit!
- What about the men? - Well, he left them alive, on purpose.
- He? - Yeah.
- Are you saying one person did this? - Well, he had a partner, an Asian person.
However, the girl went with him.
Hey!
You brought the girl here!
Yeah, I really fucked up, man. I broke protocol.
Listen! There are many eyes on us, at the club. Okay?
Now this girl! We do not know who she is.
Who is trying to kill her and why. This is dangerous, man.
I just did not want to see the slaughter her, you know.
All right, what is your plan?
What I was going to do is just give her little bit of money and...
drop her off in a safe place. Then you and I get the fuck out of here.
Yeah, are we going to need some help?
I got a Russian friend.
I am going to call him.
In addition, see if he can get us a clean extraction and some of our tools.
Hello Sergei. It is Johnno.
Okay.
Do you want to tell me what happened?
We rather need to know what is going on? Therefore, we can help you.
You do not want to know.
Yeah, we had better know if you want us to help you.
If you want to stay alive.
I think you rather got to level with us, otherwise...
I am out. You got to tell us everything.
And you got to listen to every Motherfucker thing I tell you to do.
They will kill you.
No.
What shall we do, Chi?
I am terrified.
Should we run?
Why do not you just humor us?
I was supposed to come here...
to take care of babies, for rich families.
Three years.
Three fucking years!
John looks at this.
Do you want to tell me about these?
I mean, there were in the coat you were wearing.
Do you see? Something is not right.
And it is really not smart for us to go ahead and expose ourselves...
without knowing exactly what is happening, so...
I do not know, ma'am.
I am thinking about maybe...
give her some money and send her on her way.
Unless she tells me everything,
in addition, I do not think she is telling me everything.
Look at this. There is a page turn out, with names on it.
Nadia and Sofia.
Who is Sofia?
Sofia was my sister!
In addition, he beat her to death with a pipe!
Do you know who he is?
Where he took you, or anything like that.
It was strange from the start. Okay.
A woman came first and... looked us over and...
And then they came.
And they got me, Sofia and two other girls.
These are the girls.
Then they took us to this... Nightclub, and...
Moreover, we went down, to a strange room... like a kitchen.
This person was there...
with his mask.
Say you are not afraid!
There! Do you like that?
There are some sick people, in this world. Okay.
But if they have enough money...
They will get away with anything!
Bitch!
Look at her.
Someone is... someone is have to live.
I said still lay, or I will cut you open, you bitch!
Nadia take the camera! Run!
Run! Nadia run!
You can run, but I am going to catch you!
Bitch!
Okay.
Now, you will have to pay for this.
She will not get too far. Go get her.
Do you know who he is?
Where he took you, alternatively, anything like that.
I do not know.
All I know is that...
They have a very powerful syndicate here, and you guys...
You people, you just beat up their men, at the bar.
Nadia.
I am going to tell you something.
I have been a bad man.
I have been a very bad man, most of my life.
I learned to not trust anybody.
I lost my faith in humankind.
I believe that everybody out there, is out there to fuck me.
Therefore, I decided, I want to do one thing, in my life.
One good thing, in my life, before I die.
Even if I die in the process.
I want to find this person.
I want to find him and I want to kill him.
I need to do that, for my own Absolution.
He had a camera.
When I escaped, I took it.
He filmed everything. Everything!
I can show you where I hid it.
Deathly silence!
It is not a good sign.
It seems we may have hired the wrong team for the Afghani job.
We!
I guess that would be me, Sir.
I hired the wrong team for the Afghani job.
Shut up, Colt.
We need to sort this shit out.
Get Van Horn on the phone.
I do not get know what the fuck you are talking about.
The Afghani job was going smoothly.
Until three of my men, all of a sudden was jumped in a bar.
Well! That sounds like a bad day, all around now, does not it?
Do you have any idea how quickly I can get rid of you and your men?
I thought the Afghani job was going to take care of everything.
Clean, done and done.
One of your men has taken a woman.
She belongs to me.
Now, you listen very carefully.
I want her back.
John! You did not say anything about rescuing a woman.
Well! It was not exactly part of the plan.
Well! That is going to be a bit of a problem.
The person who ordered he hit.
He wants to know why you do take her and where is she?
I wonder what he is so interested in her for, man!
I was not going to ask you that question, considering we broke protocol.
Now look, we get the girl back to them and this all goes away.
Well! Remember, you owe me a lot of fucking favors, so...
just buy me some time, so I can figure a way out of this shit.
Do you hear me?
We got the lock. Sending address.
I got it!
We got a lock on him.
Go and get my property.
Good.
Right.
Right. Fifteen Tankarnya.
We have to clean up this mess.
Let me know when you have the girl.
I am John's friend.
This is Sergei.
He is my brother.
And you should trust him.
I have trusted him so many times.
We need a clean extraction.
Nice and quiet, nice and quick.
- How soon? - I would say, 24 hours.
Give me two hours.
There is a bad person here.
That we need to find and give him a kiss goodnight.
After we do that, there is a camera we are going to grab.
In addition, we are out of here.
That is all we want, right now.
You two guys go to the address in the notebook.
Find out who this person is.
PASSPORT
Okay! Let us rock and roll.
Let us rock and roll.
Hey, buddy... Do you have a light?
I want.
Thanks.
I will ask you a few questions.
Answer, you live. Lie, you die.
Do you understand?
He only speaks Russian.
That is why I brought my translator.
What is in this building?
Girls.
What girls?
Human trafficking.
Tell me who runs it.
Pull of.
Syndicate.
Jesus!
What did he say?
He said it is run by the fucking syndicate.
Everything has run by the syndicate.
What the fuck is the syndicate?
I will check my sources.
Hey.
I have not eaten in days.
In addition, I am a bit cold.
There is a place couple of doors down. Some great food.
I will pick up some clothes, as well.
You are obviously not safe, if you leave here.
Before we start, is there anything I should know about you?
My father, he used to work with John in these regions.
Odessa used to be a safe city.
When?
Before all this.
This is nothing compared to where I come from.
I am not going to go.
I am going to be here with you.
I am just going to talk to the doctor, for one second, sweetheart.
Okay?
- Nadia, are you okay? - How did they find us?
They will recognize your face.
Only if I go inside.
Hey, excuse me. Excuse me.
- Hey. Excuse me. - What?
Do you mind if I buy a ticket, for a second?
I need to talk to her. Yeah, come here.
What?
Hey!
Hey, it is I. It is I, Chi. Do you remember me?
- Angela, that is all right. - Yeah?
I need to talk to you for a second, okay.
Those people I was fighting. Hey! Those people I was fighting.
Who are they? Do you have any idea? Cops, or anything?
- I... I do not know... - I want...
They had... They had some kind of... badges, or something. I...
- They have some kind of badges. - Yeah.
What kind of badge? Do you have any idea?
Hey, leave him alone!
Do you know where they went?
St. Andrew's Hospital.
Somebody took them to St. Andrew's hospital.
- Yeah. - Okay.
Thank you. I... here is something for you. Just keep it.
Thanks.
I will catch you next time. Okay? All right? You are welcome!
- Hey! - Let us go. Let us go.
You do not! Do not.
SAINT ANDREW'S HOSPITAL
EMERGENCY
These are from the security cameras in the club.
These are the people, right?
Diplomatic military security.
- How do you know? - They are not Ukrainian.
I wonder what he is showing them.
Hey, I want to have a chat with them.
No problem.
We have no contact from the team we sent to Tankarnaya.
Look, this person is not going anywhere any time soon.
He is after something.
Whatever it was that the girl took from the Boss...
for some reason, the American wants it now.
Send more than our team. Make sure, they do not fuck this up.
- I will do. - I am going to chat with the Boss.
Fifteen Tankarnya. Copy that. Arriving now.
Make sure you take the girl alive. Kill everyone else there.
You are hanging around with the wrong people.
Holy fuck!
Victor, he is running with the girl. I am on his tail now.
Do you remember exactly? Where you hid the camera.
Of course!
Well, that would be good, because once we get in there.
We are not going to have any time, do you hear?
Hang on!
All right! I will take those two. You watch my back, right!
All right! So tell me about the girl.
Fuck you, Chink.
That is Chi, not Chink. That is not polite.
Now, when I get pissed off, I do crazy fucked up things.
Like pouring hot scalding water on people's faces. Okay.
- So, who do you work for? - Fuck you.
We work for the Boss.
The Boss? Who is the fuck the Boss?
What does he want with the girl?
You do not know!
Yeah, I do not know. That is why I am asking you, asshole.
Soup! Even better.
Ralph, I need a favor.
What can you tell me about the syndicate?
Shit!
It is important.
Yeah. Okay.
- Did you get anything? - Yeah.
The Boss mean anything to you?
I just checked my sources.
He is the head of the local syndicate.
Yeah, so these people are operators, working for someone called the Boss.
Head of the local syndicate.
- You got the camera yet? - No, we are on our way to get it now.
Okay. We will meet you. Where?
It is a place called Club One.
Club One do you know it?
Would it be open this time of the day?
Yeah, it never closes.
We will be there in ten.
It should cover it.
Follow me.
The real exit is over there.
You keep your head down. They will be looking for you.
Danko.
- Meet me at Club One. - The Boss's Club?
Yeah, they are here.
- Upstairs, this way. - Whatever happens, do not run.
Stick on me. You got it.
- I see I hid inside there. - All right, get in and out, quick.
Okay.
- So, is this the place? - That is the place.
It never closes!
- You take that side. I will go here. - Okay.
I want them all. Go.
- You people go around the back. - Yeah, I will have them all, soon.
Okay.
Hey!
What are you doing here?
Hang out. What are you doing here?
Hang out!
Go.
- But why? - Go! Go now!
I figured if they caught me.
They still would not have the evidence of what that monster...
did to my sister and to the other girls.
It is what drove me to keep going.
You did the right thing.
Your sister not was going to have died in vain. So, let us do this.
There he is.
John!
CLUB ONE
Come on back the door. Go.
Who sent you?
Fuck you!
For Sergei.
Come on, Victor is waiting.
I got you, motherfucker! Come on people, hurry up!
Put him in the back.
Faster, faster, faster. Go, go, and go!
What are we going to do?
We are going to follow them, and we are going to get Chi back,
then we are going to have to do probably bad things to the people there.
Hey, Colt. No, I have not got the camera.
Yeah, I know. I know. But I have something else, instead.
Okay. I just got here.
Yes, Sir.
Now, why do not you sound surprised?
Well, they located my safe house.
I think you are the only one who could do that, so...?
Why would you rat me out?
I admire you, John. Always have.
Always had your six, you know that.
But now you know too much.
Which means it comes down to me in addition, you, I am going to choose me.
Look.
You know better than that, son.
I suppose I do.
See, the thing it is...
There is a big difference between...
a real warrior and a want to be.
Want to be are always talking.
That is the deal with you, Van Horn.
You are always talking, always give your position away.
Real warriors, they do not really say much.
They just do what they got to do.
John, you were supposed to clean up a mess for me.
Clean it up and go away. No harm, no foul.
Now look what you made me do.
And you know how much I hate to travel.
Listen, man! Everybody knows you do not have the camera.
You do not understand, my friend, it is not about the camera anymore.
It is not two against one here, John.
It is two against us.
You nailed a lot of us.
I do not care about the Boss.
I think, you set me up!
This is kind of, what we call, in the old, school a reversal.
If I were you, man, you have to start looking really quick.
Be careful man, you have to watch your six, now.
Somebody is coming.
All right! Listen, I am going to give you this.
John! No, please!
Just listen to me and do what I say. We made that deal.
Take this. Go on.
Point it and you shoot. Stay in the car.
You do not get out of the car for nothing, Do you hear me?
So, I finally get to meet, Chi.
I finally get to meet you, Van Horn.
Therefore, what had my good friend, John, tell you about me?
He said you are a bald, middle-aged, wannabe.
Shut him up.
Hit me a little harder next time, motherfucker.
He is already here.
You go that way. You come with me.
That is for Sofia.
You bitch. The Boss should have killed both of you whores.
That is for me.
We are done here.
You were shot. Are you all right?
Yeah, I am good.
See now, you do not say I never did nothing for you, man.
- I guess I still got three years. - What did you get?
Van Horn's phone. Do you want to look?
Van Horn?
No, try again.
I have been expecting your call.
You have something mine. I hope you are going to give it back.
Man, I have problems with that, you see...
Finally, I figured out why you ordered Afghani to get killed.
You ordered the hit on Afghani because...
He knew about all the sick shit that you do.
You do not want everybody to know your little secret, right?
- What secret? - Yeah, your little secret, bitch.
You know, the one that you recorded on your camera.
That you always record on your camera.
All the bad habits that you have in addition, you record on your camera.
- What do you want? - I want to see you in person.
I want to see you in person. Do you know?
That will be good for business, will not it?
Be good for you, good for me.
Yeah, I am good with that.
What about my nightclub, in two hours.
- Right back where it all started. - Fuck you, bitch.
John?
I got something for you.
That is enough for you to really start a new life.
Get yourself together.
No.
I have nothing to go back.
I am not going anywhere.
You are tough, are not you? Well, huge.
Now listen to me.
You are hurt. I want you to take care of yourself. Take care of her.
How is my boy Sergei?
He did not make it.
I will be right back.
ONE
Be on time, good punctuality I like that.
Would you like to join me at my table?
Therefore, here we are.
Now, what do you want?
I want to kill you.
I do not think so, not today.
I am protected.
So, cut the crap.
Do you have something for me?
Well! As I promised, here is your camera.
It is kind of a reminder of all your good work.
Yeah.
Kill him.
Where is your little friend?
Let us finish this.
Therefore, you are Chi.
What the fuck are you?
I am the last thing you are going to see.
That is the best you can do.
Not bad.
I did like those lads. So let us try this.
Are you sure about that now?
I am positive.
Al right! You son of a bitch!
Okay! I think I have had enough of this shit.
It is time for you to die.
You are out, bitch. What now?
What about is close and personal?
Get up. Get up and fight, bitch.
- No, no more. - Come on.
Why would you come back?
- When the knives come out. - No words need to be spoken.
That was the last job I ever did for anybody.
I just figured it was time for a new beginning.
Time me to turn my sights in a different direction.
Time for me to start things over.
As for Chi...
With the debt finally paid, he decided to stay behind.
