Oh. Hey, Nicky. So, you're unretired then? That's the idea. Javi inspired you, did he? You like this guy? He has good taste in movies. Plus, it could be good for me to do some smaller roles with great directors. Some challenging character work. Huh. So, like, um... like what? The gay uncle in the next duplass brothers movie kind of thing? Exactly. What the fuck are you talking about? We haven't worked since you were 15... Forty-one years to be number seven on a call sheet of a goddamn student film. I think it's a good idea. You listen to me. You're Nick fucking... Cage! Addy doesn't need a struggling artist for a father. She needs you to be a star. Now you get the next one, baby, and we're back. Not that we went anywhere. Not that we went anywhere. Come here.

What do you guys want? You want money? Here, take my watch. It's not a copy, it's real. Mr. Cage, we're with the U.S. government. We need your help. The man you're staying with is the head of a violent international arms cartel. Wait, wait, wait. Javi? He's a ruthless motherfucker. He started small, coastal Spain. But then, he got greedy. Trying to expand his operations east, west. Trail of dead bodies in his wake. Javi Gutierrez? Yes, Javi. I don't think we're talking about the same Javi. We're definitely talking about the same fucking Javi. It's the same fucking guy, man. Okay, okay. So, you're CIA, some kind of intelligence, right? And your job is to read people, yeah? Well, as a thespian, that is also my job. To understand people's characters, to feel what they're feeling. Which is how I know that Javi is not a gun dealer. You're saying your acting ability trumps five years of hard data collected by the world's finest intelligence agency? My nouveau shamanic acting ability? You better fucking believe it. Oh! Hey, guys, this sucks. Uh, Nicolas cage's nouveau shamanic acting ability has determined that we got the wrong guy. So, let's pack up our shit and fucking go home. Hey, man, don't mind him. He's all messed up inside. He just found out his wife's been fucking his dad. That's not all the way true. Look, do you recognize this girl?

Oh, my god! Yes! How is he up? Trained actor. All right, man, we in. You know, it didn't feel great betraying Javi like that. Especially, since I'm still not convinced he's your guy. But the strange thing is... I can see myself doing more of this stuff. You know, spy craft. Subterfuge. What have you. I think I might have a real gift for it. Good, 'cause we got another mission for you. No, no, no! Fuck that! It was terrifying. I'm about to leave for the airport after the party, so... Nick, our intel suggests that Javi is holding Maria delgado on the compound right now. On the compound? Yeah. We need you to help us find her. Which means we need you to figure out a way to stay a little longer. Vivian, I can't do this. Yes, you can. We just saw you do it.

I touched my forehead. You touched your forehead? I think so. I'm not 100% sure. Did you or didn't you? You know what? I don't think I did.

Okay, Nick, there's a window to your left. Go out that window, get outside, go across the ledge, okay? Scoot across the ledge, and then climb into the security room window.

Uh-oh. Oh, shit, we got a guy coming. Nick, guard on the way. All right, Nick, stay calm. Just like we talked about. Take the incapacitating agent out of the pouch. Put it in your hand. Remove the outer layer. The inner layer has the chemical on it. Now, if you touch that to someone's skin, they'll be out in seconds.

No. It's Maria delgado. President of catalonia's daughter. Javi's men kidnapped her two days ago to force her father out of the election and make way for someone more cartel-friendly. Yeah, the U.S. doesn't like that. Yeah, look, hey. We need to access Javi's security cameras. We can't get anywhere near that compound because it's too fortified.

Listen, Javi, truth. I wasn't that thrilled about coming out here, but tonight has been the most fun I've had in a long, long time. So, thank you.

All right, here we go, Nick. We're going to create a power blip big enough to reboot all the security cameras. Once that happens, you got exactly four minutes and ten seconds to get in and get out before they come back online.
