Transcription
Unlike other, less cunning predators, the hyena takes no chances, never attacking unless sure of a kill. Though a consummate killer, he is clearly no gentleman. I apologize for keeping you waiting. I had some other business to dispose of. So much wasted time. Confusing motion with accomplishment. Another drink? [Speaking Russian] [Closes Drawer] The M.V.D. killed my brother. For that, I will see they drown in blood. But their allies in America, I wish to send a message. A very public message. I want to strike fear into the marrow of their bones. Can you kill this person? Yes. If I take this job, I'll have to disappear, forever. So if you want me to do this, you're going to have to pay me. How much? American dollars. All cash, of course. Half now, half upon completion. Seventy million. [Laughs] Why not? Done. How many people know about this? - You and I. - Keep it that way. Don't refer to our arrangement by telephone or fax ever. You should find a place outside of Russia to hide... until the mission's completed. If word of this leaks, it'll be my choice whether to continue or not. Either way, I keep the initial payment. Agreed? Okay.
