:17:01
It's the triple and quadruple lives
:17:02
that get you in the end.
:17:04
Back then, I carried a... French,
British, Israeli,

:17:07
and Ukrainian passport...
:17:08
...and a student visa for the U.S.,
:17:10
but... that's another story.
:17:12
I also packed six different briefcases...
:17:14
...depending on who I was that day
:17:16
and the region of the world I was visiting.
:17:18
North of Cartagena, Colombia - 1989
:17:23
Without operations like mine,
:17:24
would be impossible for certain
countries

:17:26
to conduct a respectable war.
:17:29
I was able to navigate around those
:17:30
inconvenient little arms embargoes.
:17:33
There are three basic types
of arms deal.

:17:35
White, being legal.
:17:36
Black, being illegal,
:17:38
and my personal favorite color, gray.
:17:41
Sometimes I made the deal
so convoluted...

:17:43
it was hard for me to work out
:17:45
if they were on the level.
:17:46
To keep authorities in the dark
:17:47
I often spoke in code.
:17:49
Rocket launchers were "mothers."
:17:51
The rockets, "children."
:17:52
The AK-47 assault rifle was
the "Angel King."

:17:56
It's Yuri... Yeah. Well, Raoul...
:18:01
Raoul, the Angel King will arrive tomorrow.
:18:05
Hallelujah to you, too.
:18:07
The point is, if I've done my job right
:18:10
an arms embargo should be
practically impossible to enforce.

:18:14
What?
:18:16
Okay, just slow the fuck down.
:18:19
I can't understand you.
:18:20
Wha-What do you mean, tipped off?
:18:23
They know where we are?
Well, where are they?

:18:26
Well, how long have I got?
Not long?

:18:29
What does that mean? Shit!
:18:30
Do we try to lose them?
On this?

:18:32
Yuri, we have to get off this thing.
:18:34
No. No one's going anywhere.
:18:35
Slow, dead slow. Buy me time.
:18:41
Yeah, it's Yuri.
:18:42
Get that fucking rag down!
:18:44
I need another handle for this tub.
:18:46
Something in our weight class.
:18:48
You! Over the side.
:18:49
We're changing the name. Now!
:18:53
Yes, it's got to check out.
:18:55
The way I look at it,
:18:56
what's in a name?
:18:58
Have you got a shorter name?
:18:59
I'd often changed the registration
of a ship or a plane...
