The Art of War II: Betrayal

No.

- Absolutely. That's right. - That's her.

Would you like more champagne?

Can I help you?

You have one new message.

My name is Jasmine.

I've been contacting Mother's friends and past students and family.

Mother was killed two days ago in a robbery.

We're having a service at Rocky Point Beach...

... 8 a.m. on Sunday.

I hope you'll be able to make it.

Horse stance, going this way.

Turn, shoulder position. That's it.

It's good to see you, man. It's been a long time.

- It's been a long time. - Yeah.

- You look good. - So do you.

Sorry about Mother. I know he meant a lot to you.

- Yup, he meant a whole lot to all of us. - Yeah.

I wouldn't be here today if it wasn't for the things he taught me.

This should be an interesting crowd.

Well, it's what you would expect...

...from a super agent, cross-dressing martial-arts instructor.

Amen, Father. Amen.

Well, let's get started.

Thanks for coming, everybody.

Thanks for being here.

Mother and I shared a lot of early morning walks along this beach.

Today, we're placing Mother's remains where he'd want them to be.

If there's anybody that would like to share a few words...

...in honor of his memory...

...now is the time to do it.

Anybody?

Thank you, thank you.

Mother had a lot of secrets.

I was one of them.

Mother was my father.

Unfortunately, I didn't get to meet my father's friends...

...but I know that all of you will miss his laughter...

...and his spirit and his fashion sense...

...as much as I will.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Into thy hands, my Lord...

...we place the spirit, the body and soul...

...of Daniel Maurice Clements...

...affectionately known as "Mother" by his dear friends...

For it to be a martial science, it needs principles.

- What are those principles? - Principle objective.

Principle surprise. Principle calculation.

Principle offensive.

Thank you.

Mother, Mother, Mother.

Well.

Excuse me, Miss Clements.

Actually, it's Cruz.

Cruz. My name is Nigel Stone.

I was a friend of your father's.

You know, that's interesting. I thought your name was Neil Shaw.

I'm sorry. Excuse me?

My father told me about you.

Here's my number.

And if you need anything, anything at all...

...just give me a call.

You know you are the reason why my father is dead?

You really think my father died in some random robbery attempt?

He died because somebody thought he was a security risk.

Because he knew every face and every name.

I'm not in that business anymore.

Good day, Mr. Shaw.

How did I ever let you talk me into coming to Afghanistan?

Ann, not a good idea.

Put the camera away, all right?

Sir, this is a hot zone.

Hi, hello, I'm Ann. I'm a journalist.

Your commanding officer, Captain Mitchell...

...has given me permission to take photos.

He's approved the stills.

Look, I have an idea.

How about next time, try and report on Las Vegas showgirls, huh?

- You'd like that, wouldn't you? - Hell, yeah.

Fancy hotels, little chocolates on the pillows.

No land mines.

That's his signature. I don't like it.

Go, go, go.

Giddyup, giddyup, giddyup.

Oh, fuck.

Come on, now. Go.

Come on, get down.

Somebody's behind you.

Don't get up, stay still.

Come on. Now. Let's go.

Get down.

Quick, come on.

Let's go, let's go.

Get in there.

All right, we got two options.

We can stay here and die...

... or we can get to that building.

You with me?

- Let's go. - What do you think?

You don't like the way it's cut?

What, man?

- What did I do? - Ann is your VIP.

You will stay very close to her side.

If necessary, shield her from sight with your body.

Okay, that's a wrap for talent.

I mean, he wouldn't be a cowboy...

...and protect his primary at the same time.

You always got my back, man.

Oh, hey, I got a great idea for the next scene.

Excuse me.

- Stone. - It's Melina.

I have something for you. Can you come to the dojo?

Light horse stance.

Going to your left, shoulder position, turn.

Shoulder position, back fist.

Center, turn.

Watch your shoulder.

Back fist.

Center.

Center, up.

Knock, knock.

I didn't think you would come.

I'm really sorry about what I said.

The other day, I was upset and...

You said you had something you wanted to give to me?

Yes, the picture. Just wait.

I was packing up my father's things and I found this.

And I thought you might like to have it.

That was a long time ago.

Rest in peace.

Thank you.

Do you mind if I look around a little more?

Yes, please.

Well, well, well.

Rule number one, work hard.

Rule number two, work harder.

Remember these moves if you are challenged.

A lot of pain in here.

I always wished he was around when I was a kid.

So where were you?

My mother left the country when I was a baby.

She didn't even tell me his name until she was on her deathbed.

I tracked him down. That was three years ago.

He was a great man.

Great man.

We became very close in those three years.

Close enough to reveal secrets that should have remained secret.

Are you talking about yourself?

Is there more?

He taught me to dance.

He taught you the dance?

He taught me the dance.

Maybe you wouldn't mind giving me some demonstration.

What, right now?

I mean, if you're scared, I can understand.

Okay.

- Okay? - Okay.

But I have to warn you, I'm a little bit rusty.

Well, you don't look rusty to me.

And I need a partner.

Will I do?

I guess you're leading, huh?

Where I come from, men usually lead.

Is that so?

- Stone. - It's Garret.

- Can you meet me at the boat? - I'll be there.

- Give me 30. - All right, half-hour.

Business.

Will you call me?

Yes. I'll call you.

You need more practice.

So you heard I was running for Senate?

Yeah.

I did, I saw that.

When I was in the grocery store, waiting in line.

Well, it's true.

Seriously, bro. I am getting into politics.

Why would you want to do that?

It's in politics where you can make a difference, right?

And that is exactly what I wanna do.

I've just got one little problem.

Now, that is what I believe they call blackmail.

Okay.

Who are they and why are they doing it?

I don't know, maybe someone who doesn't wanna see me campaign.

Look, take my advice. Stick to making movies.

Come on, I'm just...

I'm asking you to maybe just do a little snooping around.

I'm not a detective.

But you once told me you worked at one of those agencies, right?

Can't you make a few phone calls?

Come on, man.

Okay.

I'll look into it.

- Thank you. - Look, Garret...

...keep it clean.

You're in politics now.

Got the order form right here.

- Okay. - Thanks.
