Short filmTranscript
00:00You ever wonder what they'd do with all the stuff you dig up for them?
00:03That's not my job.
00:05No, but you never wonder?
00:07No, it's the CIA. I gotta trust that they'll make the right call.
00:10Maybe it's better not to know.
00:12Love you.
00:13Love you.
00:15Bye.
00:15Bye.
00:19Charlie, I think you need to see this.
00:24What is this?
00:27Your wife has been killed.
00:31Shit.
00:36What you do is very important to what we do.
00:39Let us handle this.
00:41I want mission-specific training, cash, and a new identity.
00:45Have you lost your mind?
00:47I want to find and kill the people who murdered my wife.
00:51I don't think you could beat a 90-year-old nun in an arm-wrestling match.
00:56I want to face my wife's killings.
00:59Look them in the eyes.
01:02And balance the scales.
01:06Take it.
01:07Take it!
01:07Point it at my chest! Do it now!
01:10Put your finger on the trigger.
01:13You can't do what I do, no matter how much I train you.
01:16You're just not a killer, Charlie.
01:19You're just a nerdy fellow that works on computers.
01:22But what you're doing is gonna kill you.
01:26Do you ever account for the things I'm good at?
01:30You held a gun to my wife's head.
01:35This is a remote that controls a device that's been decompressing the glass beneath you.
01:39You have the wrong person.
01:41No, I have exactly the right person.
01:53We got a ping in Rome.
01:55He's in London.
01:55He just got on a bus in Prague.
01:57He practically invented half of our surveillance.
01:59Maybe I'll misjudge this individual.
02:05This ends here.
02:13Do you recognize her?
02:14If you jump really fast, you might survive the blast.
02:17Freak!
