(ominous music)
- [Narrator On TV] From the very beginning
of human civilization,
the problem has always been domination,
control,
power,
and the misuse of power,
and the misunderstanding of the concept of power.
It's always about domination over nature,
domination over the animal kingdom.
- [Rosa] Relax.
- Domination over women. - Don't fight.
- Domination over children. - It will be worse.
- Domination. - The more you resist,
the harder it's gonna be. - Of the culture.
- [Narrator On TV] Uh, domination over--
- I want to help you going through this.
- [Narrator On TV] Domination over oneself.
- Don't be afraid. - Many people think that
the biggest problem on earth is about money,
but money is just a tool.
- No one's gonna come.
- [Narrator On TV] Money is a wonderful tool.
- It's just me and you.
- [Narrator On TV] You can cut an apple--
- The poison's gonna paralyze your muscles,
- [Narrator On TV] You can cut a throat with a knife.
- Your lungs.
- [Narrator On TV] The problem is not the tool.
- And your heart will stop. - The problem is the use
make of it,
the awful violation of greed.
- I added a sedative
to ease with the pain. - In our society is a disease.
- [Narrator On TV] It destroys more than it creates.
- Don't resist.
Let go.
- [Narrator On TV] The universe works in cycles,
works in circles.
- Yes. - The economic concept of
liberating growth-- - That's better.
- [Narrator On TV] Is an illusion.
- [Rosa] Calm down.
- [Narrator On TV] It cannot work.
- This will be over very soon.
- [Narrator On TV] Needs to grow and die.
- Close your eyes. - Nothing can grow forever
under the same form in nature.
Everything is always transformed,
and until these concepts are understood
by what we call
not the vast majority, but a critical mass,
until this time the problems will not be solved,
because we generate more and more money,
domination.
The vast majority of problems on earth these days
could be solved with kindness
and collaboration.
Kindness is a, is a magic tool.
- He's dead.
Send me the money.
(serious music)
- [Woman On Phone] Are you sure you wanna do this?
- Yes, I'm sure.
(machine whirring)
(sorrowful music)
(Rosa cries)
(speaking in a foreign language)
(moves into passionate music)
- [Sports Announcer] This is the match of the year!
This is really something else.
All bets are off to CDT to hold the cup.
(static buzzing)
- How do you feel?
What is the most important thing in your life?
Vibration.
Everything is vibration.
- Earlier this afternoon,
a strange phenomenon happened
in the touristic city of Barcelona.
At the Football Cup Final
opposing Manchester United and Barcelona,
a strange man appeared on their screens.
The broadcast was limited to the metropolitan area
and only lasted a couple of seconds.
It seems like a bit of an earthquake here
for the Barcelona inhabitants,
especially the football fans.
Of what was the match of the year to be suddenly interrupted
by a middle-aged man talking directly to the camera
about the strangest things.
- [Strange Man On TV] Vibration.
Everything is vibration.
- Local authorities talk of the possible hijacking
of the satellite feed,
but experts saying they're not 100% positive of the cause.
An investigation has been opened to find out the way
and the motives of this bizarre intervention.
As you can imagine, the video is all over the internet,
and the reactions of the people on the street
is somewhat contrasted.
- You don't enter football, motherfucker!
It's sacred!
Nobody respect anything anymore!
We on the verge of chaos!
This guy, if he shows his face again, he's a dead man!
- Fantastic, brilliant.
I'm not kidding, man.
Like, I didn't watch it live,
but I watched it on the internet,
and this is exactly what we need right now,
like, people like this.
Like, this is like the shit, brother!
This is massive.
Like, this guy is gonna change everything in the world.
Like, he's a, he's a new pirate, the new Messi
And he has came to, like, save us all
from all this bullshit we have on TV!
Like, Babylon is falling, man.
Bah!
- Big deal.
I mean, a guy has a new gadget
to show on TV in the middle of a football match.
So what?
There are more important things in life.
There's war, there's hunger, there's child abuse.
You name it.
And who is still watching TV anyway?
Come on.
I'm gonna tell you what it is.
People are bored
and this is just another marketing campaign
for cosmetic, a car we're talking about.
Is it gonna change my life?
I doubt it.
- Officials have seriously condemned the action
and police investigations are in process
locally and nationally.
The Spanish Minister of Communications has said
even the eventuality of a foreign interception
is being investigated.
We have a satellite link with a Priscilla Allburn.
Tell me, Priscilla, what is this all about?
- Well Michael, it's very simple.
This is one of the first steps towards the end of democracy.
You can't do this.
You can't just hijack TV
and just say whatever message you want.
If everybody did that, there would be complete chaos.
And that's what these people want.
They want chaos and confusion.
Now I think that these people are trying to test
the defense system of our democracy,
and if the authorities do not add proportionally
to this type of aggression,
I will be very concerned about our future.
- Do you not think it's a little bit exaggerated
for such a little incident?
- You call this a little incident?
I call this a declaration of war!
Today it's Barcelona.
What's tomorrow, New York, Paris, London?
Who knows?
We don't know what's next.
We don't know what are they capable of.
Who is this group?
What are their intentions?
How much can they destroy?
And what is their next place that they're gonna strike?
Think about it,
it could be during a political debate
or during the news.
We just don't know.
And this is very serious, Michael.
- [Margaret] Now you listen very carefully, Crowford.
- [Henry] Yes, ma'am.
- [Margaret] This man hidden in Barcelona
is a very real threat to my operations.
You need to dispose of him immediately.
- [Henry] Yes, ma'am.
I'm sending two of my best agents on the field.
- [Margaret] Is that clear?
- [Henry] Yes, that's perfectly clear.
- [Margaret] Now good day to you.
- Good day.
(phone ringing) (melancholy music)
Rosa.
I have another job for you.
(languid music)
(door buzzes)
Ah.
Rosa, welcome.
Please take a seat.
- New facilities?
- Yes.
The city of arts.
We needed somewhere a little more discreet.
Sweetie?
- No, thanks.
- No?
Ah.
You know, these ones are really very good.
(creepy music)
Mm.
Here's your money.
Plus, a little extra.
Very, very good job, by the way.
- Thank you.
You wanted to see me?
- Yes.
I have
another job for you.
- I don't want it.
- It's very well-paid.
- Send someone else.
- What's wrong, Rosa?
- I want out.
- Well you can't.
I need you on this one.
- I'm tired.
- Well you can rest after.
This guy is a real pain in the ass,
and the people I have on my back
do not take no for an answer.
- You don't get it.
I quit.
- You don't get it, Rosa.
I'm not offering you a choice here.
How is that delightful mama of yours
doing in that charming house you bought her in Mexico?
(foreboding music)
They tell me mole poblado is the talk of the neighborhood.
- Why me?
- Why?
Well, because you're the best, Rosa.
Outside of this organization, nobody knows who you are.
You can approach the target without raising any suspicion,
as you always do.
And most importantly,
because I trust you.
I really do.
Look, I understand
this line of business can be somewhat
tiring.
I hear you.
I've been there myself.
Yes.
Even me.
(veiled music)
Let's make a deal.
Even though this breaks my heart,
let's make this your last mission.
I'll even double the money.
And if you do this for me,
I
promise
I'll let you go.
(spooky music)
Deal?
- The last one?
- The last one.
- Deal.
- I want this guy dead by the end of the week.
(somber music)
(phone vibrating)
- [Gregor] Yes, master?
- Cut the crap, Gregor.
Get the next flight to Barcelona.
There's someone I want you to follow.
(ominous music)
- Barcelona.
(foreboding music)
Fantastic.
(evil music)
- Vibration.
Everything is vibration.
(aching music)
(plane roaring)
- [Rosa Voiceover] So this is Will Gray.
(gentle music)
- So, where you from?
You have a lovely accent.
- (laughs) From Mexico.
- Mexico.
Awesome.
I'd love to go to Mexico someday.
Must be amazing there.
But you live in Paris, right?
- Well, I move a lot.
You know, for work.
- Ah, yeah, the job, of course.
Yeah.
I know it's none of my business.
I'm just a little bit curious.
You don't have to answer if you don't want to.
Why are you looking for this guy exactly?
- I'm here to recruit him,
well, or at least make him listen to the proposal.
I'm a negotiator.
I thought they told you.
- No, not at all.
No, they just said to give you a hand in whatever I can.
So what kind of proposal?
Sorry.
None of my business.
- So, what about you?
- Me?
- What do you do?
Where are you from?
- Well, there's nothing much to say really.
Um, I was military,
communications specialist,
everything from phone tapping to radars,
satellites, internet surveilling.
I was based on North of England,
listened to Russians mostly.
Yeah, I just wanted to stop wearing green. (laughs)
But I wanted to move to a sunnier place,
so I quit and here I am,
Barcelona.
Checking out transmissions for the agency
from this part of the globe.
Kind of a quiet job.
Until recently.
(creepy music)
- [Strange Man On TV] Vibration.
- I don't know what technology he's using.
I mean, he's, he's everywhere at the same time.
I mean, cable, internet, TV,
without leaving a trace.
It's...
And what he does is,
it's not just brilliance.
It's virtually impossible.
I don't think we're ever gonna catch this guy.
He's,
he's a ghost.
The guy is probably dead.
He officially died in Morocco five years ago.
Transmission is probably not on record.
(perplexed music)
- And what am I supposed to do with all this?
- Um, that's what you asked for.
I mean, that is the whole file on the case.
- Are you kidding?
This is all technical gibberish.
- All right.
Okay, I think we've had enough work for today.
Listen.
Let me show you something.
(pleasant music)
- Wow, it's beautiful.
Thank you.
(sweet music)
- Yeah.
Beautiful.
(thoughtful music)
(troubled music)
- [Rosa] You're not easy to find.
- Well, I feel safer that way.
I'm dead, remember?
You killed me.
It's good to see you.
- I need your help.
- You know I'll do anything for you.
I owe you my life.
- No, you don't.
- Yes, I do.
- Anyway.
They want me to find this man on the TV.
- Are you sure you want to dig into this?
- I have to try.
Why?
- Everybody's after this guy.
Yankees, Russians, the Chinese, they're all going crazy.
Just drop it.
- They've threatened to kill mama.
I need to buy time at least.
- Okay.
I'll see what I can find,
but this all smells funny.
The underground scene here is going crazy about it.
People feel something is gonna happen.
They can smell it in the air and in the streets
and in people's conversations.
(suspicious music)
- Where can I start?
- You may want to try this guy Bernie Walson.
He's a little crazy,
but he may be able to help you.
Just bring some cash.
- Thanks.
- Funny times.
(suspenseful music)
- Have you been followed?
Are you sure you haven't been followed?
- I do not think so.
- Are you wearing a mic?
- What?
No.
- Can't be too cautious.
They're everywhere.
- Who?
- Did you bring what I asked for?
- Yes, but you go first,
and don't try anything stupid.
I have a gun.
- Gun?
Why do you have a gun?
You don't need a gun.
It's very dangerous!
- [Rosa] Just for protection.
Relax.
I just want information.
- Okay.
All right.
Sit.
(mysterious music)
So what was this about?
- The man on the TV.
- Yes, him.
- [Rosa] I would like to talk to him.
You know where he is?
- He's nowhere.
He's everywhere.
You won't find him.
- You said you have information.
- Communication, mass media, propaganda, mind control.
He is aiming at the core
of the opinion-creating system.
Opinion-creating system.
He's like a Trojan horse in the matrix.
Do you know why Hollywood is called Hollywood?
Because it's holy wood.
Holy wood, the wood of holy.
The wood used by sorcerers and witches,
the magic wand used to transform reality.
- What's your point?
- The important thing is not really what happens,
but what you think about it.
They are shaping reality by telling us fairy stories.
Don't you get it?
Do you want some tea?
- No, thanks.
Mr. Walson?
- Yes?
- Where is the guy on the TV?
- I don't know.
Nobody knows.
He goes in, he goes out.
It's like this.
He's somewhere in the matrix.
And he's getting in and out through some vortex
or wormhole or some high-end alien technology.
(Bernie laughs)
I know what you think.
I'm not crazy.
I have a condition
where my brain releases too much information
and it's difficult to process
and sometimes it overwhelms me,
because, you know, life is not a straight line,
and sometimes it's a mystical battle,
and it's light versus dark,
and sometimes you're dark and white and,
and then you change and you're gray
and you change again-- - Listen, listen.
- And it's dark and white. - Listen, listen, listen.
Where is the man on the TV?
- You won't find him.
Unless he wants you to.
He may find you,
but you won't.
He's too big, too powerful.
And I'm not taking sides here.
I mean, this battle has been going on for centuries,
you know, the dark side, the good,
the light and the dark and the bad and
the antichrist, the end of times,
it's coming,
that's all bullshit.
It's not coming.
He's already here, on the throne.
He has been for a long time.
On the contrary,
what's coming is the opposite of what they say.
The twisted reality, Hollywood, all that.
And this guy, he's not the Christ.
He's just some guy with fantastic technology.
And he's not alone.
Oh no.
You can be sure of that.
- Who's he with?
- Who?
I don't know.
There is a group.
A spiritual esoteric society.
And they meet regularly and they have a leader and
maybe they can lead you to the man,
if he exists.
I mean, physically.
If he's not dead or a hologram.
Yeah.
A projection!
- Where can I find them?
- Hm, who?
- The society you're talking about.
- I didn't tell you anything.
I don't know anything.
I can't help you.
I don't know anything.
I'm really sorry.
I can't help you.
I'm very sorry.
(strange music)
This is for my research.
It's for my research.
I need it.
(untrusting music)
I need it.
(sneaking music)
(clicking)
- What do you want?
I'm sorry, I--
- Stop looking for him.
- What are you talking about?
- You know exactly what I'm talking about.
Stop looking for him or you're gonna be hurt.
- Who are you?
- Nobody.
Don't ever follow me again.
- I just want to talk to him, that's it.
(misty music)
- Who are you?
What are you doing here?
- I like your shit, man.
It's cool.
You know what my favorite movies are?
Dark City, Blade Runner.
I love that shit, man.
Dark,
hopeless.
- What do you want?
- Nothing.
Just tell me what you told the girl
and I'll be out.
- [Bernie] I don't know what you're talking about.
- So it's gonna be long and painful then.
- Wait, wait.
I'll tell you everything you want to know.
Okay?
- That's it.
And I'll be out and you'll never see me again.
(dreadful music)
(gunshots firing) (body thuds)
(car horns honking)
- That was delicious, thank you.
- My pleasure.
I'm glad you liked it.
I've gotta confess.
I ran an internet check on you.
- And?
- And
I couldn't find a thing.
- Really?
You checked me?
Do I have to worry?
Am I under any kind of investigation, officer?
- No. (laughs)
Of course not.
I'm sorry, it's, it's kind of a reflex I have.
It's, it's, it's part of my job.
It's my job to know things.
- Probably.
I'm sure you know more than what you seem.
- What makes you say such a thing?
Why are you looking at me like that?
- Sorry.
Bad habit.
Just a reflex.
You know, it's, uh, part of my job as a negotiator
to sense what's in front of me.
And I have to confess something too.
I am from another planet.
And I have special skills.
- Tell me.
Like what?
- Why don't you take me to your room and I'll show you?
- [Gregor Voiceover] So it's gonna be long and painful.
(worried music)
- Good morning.
Breakfast?
(lovely music)
Sleep well?
- Thank you.
(ethereal music)
You?
- Yeah.
(tender music)
(moves into shadowy music)
- [Will Voiceover] I don't think we're ever
gonna catch this guy.
He's,
he's a ghost.
(ominous music)
- [Rosa Voiceover] Where the fuck is this guy?
(static buzzing) - Vibration.
Everything is vibration.
We live in a vibrational universe,
an attraction-based universe.
Light,
sound,
matter,
everything's vibration.
Even before you had a body, you were a vibration.
And it's all interconnected.
There is no separation.
You, me, the entire universe,
and your emotional system is your guiding system
talking to you all the time.
So the game is not about what you have or do.
It's about what you feel.
Being aware of your emotions, listen to it.
So right now
how do you feel?
(banging)
- Motherfucker!
- Mr. Crowford, as you know,
I represent a large group of corporations
working in the military and security industry.
A single man isolated,
being able to bypass every security system
and speak directly to the mob
makes us look like idiots.
Now my guess is that he's being helped
by some foreign organization, the Chinese, the Russians.
Whoever it is, I need to know.
- [Henry] We are following every available lead, ma'am,
but this guy is heavily protected.
Even the CIA are drawing a blank.
- Well maybe they are behind it.
I'm paying you to find out who is behind it,
not to deliver theories.
The clock is ticking, Henry.
Amy.
Prepare the boat.
(foreboding music)
(phone rings)
- Rosa, hi.
How are you finding Barcelona?
- Fine. - Wonderful.
Listen, Rosa, there's still no dead body yet.
You haven't forgotten our little deal, have you?
- I'm doing my best,
but this guy is very well protected.
I need more time.
- Don't fuck with me, Rosa.
Find him.
Now.
(misty music)
- I'm not crying because I,
I feel sad.
It's, it's, it's actually quite the opposite.
I'm,
I'm so
in awe
with everything that's happened with him.
He's just opened up my, my life.
I mean, I used to, to work to, to gain money,
to buy stuff I don't need,
and, um,
he just changed all that.
And it's, it's incredible.
I, I realized I, I was brainwashed,
and now I'm like
I've kind of seen the light, you know.
- He, he comes into my program.
He cuts into the program.
I mean, did he do that to all channels
or was it just the one?
Many frequencies?
That's the bit I don't understand.
How did he, how did he do that?
I mean, does he have a giant antenna somewhere
that nobody knows about with microwaves shooting up or...
Am I vibrating and rocks are vibrating
and everything's vibrating?
Does he mean like on a, on a scale that nobody sees
or like, like the little atoms inside of us
and molecules are all vibrating?
Uh, uh, then, then what happens?
What's making them vibrate, you know?
And what happens if it stops vibrating?
Are we, are we gonna stop?
Is that a warning?
Is he warning us that things are gonna stop vibrating?
Is that what it is?
I don't understand it.
I don't, I mean, I don't get it at all.
I wish, I wish I had paid closer attention really.
- I mean, this guy, he's got this beautiful energy.
I mean, if you just close your eyes
and just hear him talk,
he just takes you to places.
He just, I think he does have the power
to bond it all together and make this world
a much more beautiful place.
Isn't that what we all want?
I think this is why we need it.
It's, it's, it's just great.
- The strange man has struck again this afternoon.
This time the broadcast covered the Iberian Peninsula,
parts of France, of Italy, and North Africa.
So, tell me, what is this all about, Priscilla?
- This man is a terrorist.
He's got a sectarian mind.
He is dangerous,
especially for the weakest of us.
He has got to be caught and locked up, period.
- Isn't, um, terrorist a little harsh?
There's no victim whatsoever.
- Oh yes there is.
Freedom of choice is the first victim.
This outlaw is hijacking the media,
and people have a right to choose what they want to watch.
It's basic.
He's a media dictator.
This is an act of tyranny.
And as I told you, he has a sectarian mind.
So now what defines a cult leader?
Well there's a few things.
Number one, they use a cryptic vocabulary,
and that isolates the target from the other people.
And number two, they remain in hiding.
Think about it, where is he right now?
Why is he not here defending and discussing his ideas?
It's because he's afraid of becoming unmasked.
This has just simply gotta stop.
Think about Jim Jones.
You remember Jim Jones.
He was preaching love, and then it turned into a massacre.
That's the boat we're on.
And I swear to god,
I will always fight against these people
and try to warn the public.
Always.
And just as I wrote in my book,
when freedom and democracy are attacked,
it is our duty to fight back without mercy.
(sirens wailing)
- Everybody is concerned
about the technology this guy's using,
and nobody looks at the message.
What's dangerous about it?
It's pacifist.
You could use the same slogan for a soda commercial.
Feel the vibe.
They don't see the bigger picture.
Well some of them do.
Some of them do,
and they are actually the most dangerous ones
who are after him.
What's revolutionary is the message.
You can kill a man, but you can't kill an idea.
This guy, this guy, or these guys,
they're like a virus.
They will keep on spreading long after their deaths.
And the authorities,
(laughs) the authorities, they don't get it!
Because they're preoccupied with themselves!
They're like guarding dogs
who are looking after their food
while somebody is opening the gate to free the sheep.
The new era is coming.
It's already here.
We haven't even noticed it.
- [Rosa] Are you okay?
- Yeah.
Yeah, don't worry.
I'm still me all of the time.
Solitude I guess.
- Sure.
- He had a wife.
- A wife?
- Yeah yeah.
She lives in, she lives in Paris.
And this is her name.
Oh, and about your guy Will Gray,
couldn't find anything special on him.
(unpleasant music)
- Who do you work for?
- Nobody.
This is unofficial.
- How did you find me?
- I was lucky.
- Oh yeah, lucky.
Who gives a shit anyway?
He was working for the French Counterintelligence.
That's why I met him.
Trained by the Americans.
Have you heard of MKUltra Project?
- Mind control?
- Yeah, that kind of stuff.
Crowford was ex British intelligence.
He recruited Franck for his new private agency.
- Are you sure about that?
- Franck recruited me to watch his back.
Not the best idea,
considering the result.
- So you work for Crowford too?
- Not really.
Not officially.
Nobody knew.
Then
there was an operation in Morocco.
It was supposed to be an easy one.
It was a disaster.
Franck was killed in a drone strike.
- A drone strike in Morocco?
- On the border, near Algeria.
Apparently he wasn't aware of it.
Wrong place, wrong time.
So after that I lost my job
at the French intelligence service.
Alcohol problem they say.
- Did you see the body?
- What body?
There was only dust and ruins.
- I think he's alive.
(hopeful music)
You've seen the video.
- It could've been recorded before or computer-made.
- Why would anyone use his face?
- I don't know.
Maybe to scare Crowford.
He's a snake.
I've never liked him.
Before Morocco,
Franck was smelling something wrong.
He was suspecting someone to be a double agent.
I felt he was in danger.
He should have listened to me and stayed in Paris.
- Francesca, there's something going on in Barcelona.
There's a group of people that's protecting him.
Trust me, he's alive.
I can prove it.
- Why would he do that?
Disappear, hide from me?
- Maybe he's just trying to protect you.
- Protect me?
From what?
From being happy?
From having a normal life?
- [Rosa] And what else can you remember?
- His funeral.
The empty casket.
And all these hypocrites bragging
about how they knew him,
what a great friend he was.
Service to the nation.
All this bullshit.
His only friend was living there.
- What friend?
- Kind of a friend.
His contact in Morocco.
- Do you remember his name?
- No.
Larry or Jerry.
William, yes, William.
- William what?
- Some color I think.
Blue,
green.
- Gray?
- Yes, Will Gray.
He was funny.
He was different.
- Wait, Gray knew Franck Minota.
- He's a ghost.
- Why?
Do you know him?
- No.
I'm just trying to get the big picture.
- [Francesca Voiceover] He was the love of my life,
you know.
The only one.
(sad music)
- What the fuck are you doing here?
How'd you get in?
- [Gregor] Do you have anymore stupid questions?
- What do you want, Gregor?
- Nothing.
Actually,
I want you to know something.
- Really?
- Apart from the fact that the company
forbids any type of personal involvement with another agent,
you don't want to spend the rest of your life
worrying about what she might pour in your tea.
- Get to the point.
- She's one of the best amongst us.
There is a lethal lovely spider in your bed, my friend.
- You're full of shit.
- Remember the Shanghai incident?
200 people die by an accidental poisoning
through an AC system?
Well, she was the accidental part of it.
So my friend, I suggest you put your dick back in your pants
and focus on the job.
Unless you like fucking poisonous animals
and eventually end up vomiting your guts out.
- It's none of your fucking business.
- [Gregor] It's just a warning.
- Why are you doing this?
- Human compassion I guess.
- Get out.
(tense music)
(Gregor whistling)
(scary music)
(speaking in a foreign language)
- [Margaret] Now you listen very carefully to me, Crowford.
If you are not able to complete this task,
I'll find someone who can,
and I'll have your head on a pike!
(dramatic music)
(punching)
(captive man coughing)
- Where the fuck is he hiding?
(punching)
What do you know about the operation?
Hm?
(punching) (grunting)
(wrathful music)
You're gonna have to talk, my friend.
(captive man coughing) (unfriendly music)
(door buzzes)
(gun clicks)
- Who is it?
- It's me.
(maleficent music)
Will, let me in.
(doubtful music)
Please.
(unpleasant music)
(door buzzes)
- [Will] What do you want?
- I just want to talk to you.
- [Will] Get in.
(hateful music)
Sit down.
(dreadful music)
- I just want to tell you something.
Maybe you're never gonna see me again.
- Why?
You going somewhere?
- I'm really sorry that things turned out this way.
I, I wanted to tell you, but...
I know I should have.
I tried to tell you, but--
- Get to the point, Rosa.
- All right.
You know what it's like to kill someone?
- Don't push me.
- Do you know what it's like
to look someone in the eyes
suffering, agonizing,
because of you?
Do you know what it's like to watch a human being
taking the wrong glass and drinking it with a smile,
while you're dying inside,
trying to tell that person, "Don't drink it!
"It's full of arsenic!
"You're going to die."
Do you know what it's like?
- I don't see the--
- No, you don't.
So shut the fuck up and go back to your electronic toys
and your spy gadgets.
You don't understand me.
I know I'm a bad person.
And I know I did terrible things.
(tense music)
And maybe there is no redemption for me.
(vexed music)
But I just wanted to tell you that I love you
and that you are the first man
that I really ever truly loved.
(touching music)
So I'll be more than happy to die today.
(emotional music)
- I can't do this.
(passionate music)
- Will, maybe I'll just kill them all.
- Crime, terrorism, violence, inequality,
injustice, corruption, contamination,
pain, loss,
in a word, fear.
Fear controls you.
Fear clouds your mind and your judgment.
Fear makes you react impulsively
and paralyzes you.
If someone wants to control you,
he will give you fear.
On the other hand, you have peace, beauty,
kindness, fun,
growth, progress, tolerance,
sharing, thankfulness,
in a word, love.
You're the one in charge in your life.
If you think you're not,
it's because you've given away your power to someone else.
Every second of every minute of every hour
you have the power to decide,
the power to decide how you feel about the situation.
You may not control the external facts,
but you do control the way you choose to feel about them.
The worse you feel, the closer to fear.
The better you feel, the closer to love.
So, how do you feel?
- The world is rotten.
One day you'll finally understand
that everybody is spying on everybody
and that your boss is doing business with the enemy
and that your dead friends are dead for nothing,
that you just have to shut the fuck up.
- It's not working.
I can't find him.
- [Johan] Do you really want to find him?
- What I really want is a way out.
I don't want to do this anymore.
I don't want to kill him.
I'm tired.
I feel I'm trapped.
- There must be another way out.
Why don't you just disappear?
- Because they'll go after mama.
- Not if you were dead.
Hey, dead is not that bad.
Look at me.
I've been dead for three years now.
It's just a new life.
You can leave your stuff on the beach
and pretend that you've drowned.
- They won't buy it.
They'll need a body.
- Yeah, well, a body is not that hard to find these days.
(eerie music)
Isn't there a poison that could fake death?
- Poison?
Maybe.
There's the blowfish.
- Japanese deadly fish?
- With appropriate dosage,
it, it could fake death
for a moment.
(speaking in a foreign language)
- What?
- Nothing.
A dream that I had.
Death.
Death may be the way out.
(wild music)
Can I ask you a question?
Do you believe what he says?
- Do you care?
- Yes.
I really do.
- No need to believe.
Just try.
- You're Japanese, right?
You're a cook?
- How do you know that?
- Would you do something for me?
(serious music)
I need a special ingredient,
and you can find it for me.
A deadly fish.
Poisoning is like cooking.
Too little and you miss.
Too much and it's a mess.
(sirens wailing)
(malevolent music)
- I don't know what she's doing behind my back.
She's out of control.
Plus she knows too much.
- Meaning?
She could be the only one that can lead us to the guy.
- I'll find another way.
She's a liability.
I can't afford to take that risk.
- Are you sure?
- Go to her.
Find out what she knows,
and then do what you do best.
Sweetie?
(car horns honking)
(sirens wailing)
(apprehensive music)
(tires squealing)
- Humans like comfort.
They don't need freedom.
They want to live in peace and reproduce.
Humanity is a very primitive living organism
with a few sparks of intelligence here and there.
It's a pack animal and it asks to be led.
Dogs like sugar, but it's not good for them.
The same could be said about humans and freedom.
- With all due respect, ma'am,
aren't you part of that same humanity?
- Do you think I'm free?
I'm part of the organism, and I work for its well-being.
I provide security and a good night's sleep.
- Absolutely, ma'am.
- We do have another problem.
- Another problem?
- Mass defection in the ranks.
People are quitting or simply disappearing.
But we can't kill all of them, can we?
- Well...
- We're on the verge of a revolution,
a revolution spiraling out of our control.
And if we don't stop them quickly,
they'll be coming after us next.
- They, ma'am?
- The crowd, Henry.
The crowd.
The poor idiots.
Huge wave made up
of the dirty, disgusting mob.
And the world will return to chaos.
(vigorous rock music)
- [Rosa] Would you do it?
- There's gotta be another way.
- We've been through this.
- What if you don't get the dosage right?
- I die.
- What if the ambulance is late?
- I die.
- What if they can't reanimate you?
- Will,
here's a better solution that I have.
I need to take the poison, Gregor to find me dead,
and then report to Crowford.
- How are you gonna make him leave?
- You will call the police.
They are gonna be here in eight minutes max.
Gregor will hear them and leave.
- It's too risky.
(serious music)
- Will you do it?
(dramatic music)
- Where is he?
Hm?
Where the fuck is he hiding?
- I don't know.
- Sit down.
(tense music)
What do you know?
- You won't get near him.
- I'll blow your fucking brains out.
- Go ahead.
Even if I knew, I wouldn't tell you.
- Oh, don't play games with me.
I don't have time for this.
- Of course you don't.
You're not even human.
You just take orders and process them.
Like a computer.
I used to be like that.
- Wrong answer.
- Go ahead.
Do me a favor and press the trigger.
I have too many regrets.
Too much guilt.
I thought I could start over.
- Last chance.
Where is he?
- He's nowhere.
He's everywhere.
It's too late.
(gunshots firing)
(body thuds)
(shoes clacking)
My name is Rosa.
I'm a professional assassin.
And this is my confession.
By the time you watch this,
I will be dead.
I'll poison myself
and I won't miss.
I never do.
I started killing at an early age.
My first victims were my parents.
My father used to rape me,
and my mother, she wouldn't do anything about it.
I killed them both
with belladonna berries from their own garden.
I learned from a poison master.
She used to be like a mother to me.
She taught me everything she knew.
Now she's an old peaceful woman.
(sad piano music)
When I was still a teenager,
a man recruited me.
His name is Henry Crowford.
I've killed a lot of people for him.
I'm not proud of it.
I never knew
the identity of any final client,
but I know that they are all dark souls
pulling the strings behind the curtain,
obsessed with control
and deprived of any emotion.
My last mission
was to kill this man,
so-called terrorist hijacking the TV channels.
He's not a terrorist.
I won't fulfill the mission.
I'm tired.
I'm tired of all this.
Of being a puppet.
I finally realized
that nothing matters but love and forgiveness.
Maybe I don't deserve it,
not in this life.
Maybe in another.
I'm so sorry.
- [Narrator On TV] Domination.
Control.
Power,
and the misuse of power,
and the misunderstanding of the concept of power.
It's always about (clicking)
domination over nature.
(gunshots firing)
Domination over the animal kingdom, domination--
(static buzzes)
- How do you feel?
(spooky music)
