Speaker A
You stand by the wall. But just do it. Let him go. At the beginning of the film, we are introduced to a man named Mason who lives alone in a lighthouse on a remote Scottish island. One day, a young woman
00:49
Speaker A
named Jessie arrives at the island by boat with her uncle. They regularly deliver packages ordered by Mason, and as usual, the uncle waits on the boat while Jessie makes the crossing to the island alone in a small skiff.
01:00
Speaker A
After dropping off the package, Jessie also leaves a gift for Mason. However, she never meets him in person as Mason deliberately avoids contact with outsiders.
01:15
Speaker A
Despite living alone, Mason did not feel lonely as he was always accompanied by his pet dog. After feeding his dog, Mason spent his time playing chess by himself before finally resting when night fell.
01:28
Speaker A
A few days later, Jessie returned to deliver a package to Mason. Unlike before, this time she chose to knock on the door hoping to meet Mason in person.
01:37
Speaker A
Shortly afterward, Mason came out, but he looked unhappy and asked Jessie to leave immediately.
01:42
Speaker A
Jessie asked why Mason never accepted the gift she brought. Mason never even said hello or thanked her even though she and her uncle regularly came by with supplies. However, Mason remained cold and indifferent, so Jessie returned to her uncle's ship.
02:00
Speaker A
And at that moment, a storm suddenly hit the sea. Huge waves caused the lifeboat Jessie was in to be tossed about and capsized, as did her uncle's boat.
02:14
Speaker A
Meanwhile, Mason, [clears throat] who was inside the house, looked out the window and realized what was happening.
02:18
Speaker A
He immediately rushed to his boat to come to their aid. Mason finally managed to find Jessie, who was drowning. He tore through the net holding her, rescued her, and administered first aid.
02:34
Speaker A
When night fell, Mason brought the still weak Jessie into his house for the first time so she could rest. Shortly afterward, Jessie woke up and asked about her uncle. With a heavy heart, Mason told her that her uncle could not
02:45
Speaker A
be saved because he was trapped inside the sinking boat, and upon hearing this, Jessie could only cry.
02:53
Speaker A
The next day, Mason checked on Jessie's leg, which had suffered a fairly severe injury, and changed her bandage to prevent it from getting worse. Jessie then asked Mason to take her to a hospital off the island, saying that her
03:05
Speaker A
family would surely be looking for her. But Mason refused because he knew Jessie had no family. Her mother had died, she had never known her father, and since childhood, she had been raised solely by her uncle.
03:17
Speaker A
After that, Mason left Jessie alone with her still injured leg. Terrified, Jessie tried to find something to protect herself with until she finally found a knife and hid it under her pillow.
03:32
Speaker A
That night, Jessie had a nightmare, and when Mason saw this, he immediately went over to calm her down.
03:38
Speaker A
Jessie woke up and on reflex pointed the knife at Mason, but Mason remained calm and assured her that it was just a dream, then asked Jessie to calm down.
03:46
Speaker A
Once things had settled down, Mason checked on Jessie's leg again, which now appeared to be getting better.
03:55
Speaker A
A few days later, Mason was taking care of Jessie at his home as if she were his own daughter, and Jessie had even started to bond with Mason's dog.
04:04
Speaker A
As they sat together in front of a chessboard, Jessie asked how Mason had come to know her uncle, and Mason explained that Jessie's uncle had once served with him in the Royal Marines.
04:12
Speaker A
After that, Jessie asked what Mason's dog was named, and since the dog didn't have a name yet, Jessie named him Jack.
04:21
Speaker A
Then Mason checked the condition of Jessie's leg again, and although it appeared to be improving, the wound was showing signs of infection and required stronger medication. Ultimately, because of this, Mason decided to leave the island, something he hadn't done in a
04:34
Speaker A
long time since he had been living in isolation there all this while. In short, upon arriving in the city, Mason headed straight to a store to buy antibiotics and stock up on food.
04:46
Speaker A
Meanwhile, in London, a man named Manafort was on trial. Manafort, who served as the head of MI6, was charged with using a technology called Thea to spy on all British citizens via cameras.
04:58
Speaker A
He argued that the technology was used to more effectively anticipate threats to the country.
05:03
Speaker A
Nevertheless, the judge ruled that Thea must be dismantled to protect citizens' privacy and prevent its misuse.
05:10
Speaker A
Ultimately, as a result of that decision, Manafort was relieved of his duties. Manafort then met with the Prime Minister, and it turned out the Prime Minister had been conducting secret negotiations with him.
05:24
Speaker A
Manafort was ordered to continue operating Thea technology discreetly given that the election was approaching, and for the time being, leadership of MI6 was handed over to Roberta, who currently served as Manafort's deputy.
05:37
Speaker A
After buying supplies of medicine and food, Mason took the time to buy some clothes for Jessie. However, as he was leaving the store, Mason passed by several women who were filming a vlog, and without realizing it his face was
05:48
Speaker A
captured on camera at MI6 headquarters by the cell phone of one of the women making the vlog.
05:54
Speaker A
Through Thea technology, the footage immediately triggered an alarm because Mason's face was detected as a high-level threat and identified as a fugitive named Timur.
06:04
Speaker A
Timur is a high-value target suspected of being responsible for the bombing of the British Embassy in Algeria.
06:10
Speaker A
Roberta, now leading MI6, immediately ordered the nearest force, the Alpha squad, to capture the man. Meanwhile, Mason had returned to the island and began tending to Jessie's leg, then gave her the clothes he had just bought for her.
06:23
Speaker A
After putting on the clothes, Jessie looked very happy and thanked him. You're welcome. I like them.
06:29
Speaker A
That evening they ate together in a peaceful atmosphere, but the tranquility was suddenly shattered when Mason spotted a boat approaching the island.
06:37
Speaker A
He immediately told Jessie to hide and not to come out until he came to get her.
06:41
Speaker A
Come out until I come for you. After making sure Jessie was safe, Mason went out to face the elite troops who had arrived on the island. Fortunately, Mason had set up various traps for situations like this and in the end he
06:55
Speaker A
managed to take out the elite troops one by one. Meanwhile, one of the attackers managed to reach Mason's house and Mason's dog tried to stop him.
07:14
Speaker A
Unfortunately, the dog was shot and the man then took Jessie hostage. Meanwhile, Mason was still facing the rest of the attackers outside and with his extraordinary skills he finally managed to shoot the last attacker who was holding Jessie hostage at the time.
07:34
Speaker A
Afterward, Mason told Jessie to wait outside while he went inside the house to assess the damage they had caused.
07:40
Speaker A
There, Mason found that his beloved dog had been killed. Mason then contacted someone and said he would leave the island and head to that person's location.
07:48
Speaker A
After that, Mason and Jessie left the island together. Meanwhile, at MI6 headquarters, Roberta couldn't believe that her elite squad could be so easily wiped out in a matter of minutes. And therefore, she then ordered a mercenary named Workman to pursue and capture
08:02
Speaker A
Mason. Roberta also put the rapid response force on high alert and ordered her subordinates to investigate the identity of the girl who was with Mason.
08:10
Speaker A
Meanwhile, Mason and Jessie had arrived on the other side of the island, and Mason appeared to have sustained several injuries. Since he needed a car to reach his destination as quickly as possible, Mason asked Jessie to keep watch outside
08:23
Speaker A
while he broke into a house to steal a car. But shortly afterward, a young boy and his father appeared pointing a gun at Mason.
08:30
Speaker A
Fortunately, Jessie, who was also armed, managed to persuade the man to lower his weapon.
08:35
Speaker A
Not only that, but she also asked them to tend to Mason's wounds. Meanwhile, an MI6 computer expert named Madison informs Roberta that the man they are pursuing is not Timur because the identity of the person they are hunting
08:47
Speaker A
has been disguised by someone else. R
08:56
Speaker A
This fact led Roberta to wonder who would be so ruthless as to frame a former MI6 agent as a high-value target.
09:04
Speaker A
And because of this, she asked Madison to investigate the case further. They then received a phone call from a child revealing Mason's location. Meanwhile, at the same time, Workman was already on his way to pursue Mason. Meanwhile, Manafort, who still had access to Thea
09:17
Speaker A
technology, began reactivating the system and immediately recognized Mason's face. He hadn't expected Mason to still be alive, and he also knew that MI6 had assigned Workman to capture Mason. Without hesitation, he then sent a message ordering Workman to carry out
09:32
Speaker A
his orders, namely to kill Mason and the girl currently under Mason's protection. This proved that Workman was a double agent who would follow orders from the side with greater power. Meanwhile, Mason had finished his treatment and afterward he asked permission to use the
09:45
Speaker A
man's car to leave. However, shortly thereafter, Mason realized that the man's son was not in the room and it [clears throat] turned out the boy had contacted the police a few minutes earlier. As a result, local Scottish police officers immediately
09:57
Speaker A
arrived and surrounded the house. The homeowner then tried to go outside to explain the situation. However, he was shot and killed on the spot and the shooter turned out to be Workman.
10:07
Speaker A
Workman even fired at the police cars while he was in hiding, causing confusion among all the personnel at the MI6 headquarters who were monitoring the situation.
10:16
Speaker A
When the police began entering the house, Mason managed to subdue them one by one without killing them. After that, he fled in one of the police cars. At MI6 headquarters, Roberta was completely unable to contact Workman and this
10:27
Speaker A
happened because Workman was now solely carrying out Manifold's orders to kill Mason. During the chase, Mason, a trained former soldier, easily turned the tables. He then hit Workman's car from behind causing it to roll over and after that, Mason immediately fled.
10:52
Speaker A
In the middle of his escape, Mason, whose car was starting to suffer damage, stopped to change cars.
10:57
Speaker A
Meanwhile, Workman took a civilian car, even shooting a local police officer before resuming his pursuit of Mason. At her office, [clears throat] Roberta then called Manifold to ask for information about Mason.
11:08
Speaker A
Manifold explained that several years ago, Mason had been part of an elite program called Black Kites, a covert operation not directly affiliated with MI6.
11:17
Speaker A
Mason was the best member of the program, but he defected when ordered to kill a target and chose instead to save that person.
11:24
Speaker A
Since that incident, Mason had vanished without a trace and afterward he provoked Roberta's anger by claiming that Mason had been paid a larger sum by the enemy, which caused him to betray them. After hearing that explanation, Roberta met with Madison, who by then
11:38
Speaker A
had managed to gather additional information about Mason. The investigation revealed that Mason had actually been ordered to eliminate an Iranian scientist who had provided information about nuclear weapons to MI6. However, Mason refused the order after learning that the scientist was
11:53
Speaker A
going to be framed as a terrorist, an act that went against his principles. Roberta finally came to understand this truth. But unbeknownst to her, the entire conversation had been observed by Manafort, who had secretly installed a hidden camera in Roberta's office.
12:08
Speaker A
Meanwhile, Mason and Jesse continued their journey, and in short, they finally arrived at their destination.
12:14
Speaker A
Mason then asked Jesse to avoid the cameras installed in front of the building. However, without realizing it, the car they were using was also equipped with cameras. Manafort, who knew Mason's position, immediately conveyed the information to Workman.
12:31
Speaker A
Mason then entered the church and met a man named Arthur, who was his old friend, and after that, they went to Arthur's house. Upon arrival, Mason asked Arthur for help in finding a way out for Jesse so that she could be saved
12:42
Speaker A
and have a new decent life. Meanwhile, Jesse, who was asked to wait in the next room, accidentally saw a drug that felt familiar to her.
12:50
Speaker A
She also realized that the drug was a cancer and epilepsy drug because her mother had also taken the same drug. At the same time, Arthur reveals that he is one of the creators of Thea technology and shows it to Mason. Arthur also
13:01
Speaker A
explains that when Mason disappeared, he was the one who changed Mason's identity to that of an ordinary civilian.
13:07
Speaker A
However, somehow that identity was then changed to Timur, a figure with a high-level threat status. From here, Mason finally realizes that the party who changed his identity back was Manafort.
13:19
Speaker A
This was done because Mason had violated Manafort's main rule, namely the obligation to carry out every order without exception.
13:26
Speaker A
Mason then asks Arthur to remove the fake identity, but Arthur explains that it can only be done in Manafort's office.
13:33
Speaker A
Because he has no other choice, Mason finally asks Arthur to keep Jesse safe from the danger that is chasing her, but Arthur immediately refuses the request.
13:41
Speaker A
Finally, Jesse interrupted their conversation and said that Arthur had cancer. Arthur confirmed what Jesse had said and added that he might only have until next Christmas.
13:52
Speaker A
Fortunately, in the midst of his despair, Mason suddenly remembered a man named Kamal. Kamal was Mason's only hope for saving Jesse to get her safely to another country.
14:02
Speaker A
At first, Arthur didn't agree with the plan considering how dangerous the journey would be. However, after being persuaded by Mason, Arthur finally agreed and began preparing to take them.
14:12
Speaker A
As Mason asked Jesse to get ready, he suddenly sensed someone's presence outside the house.
14:17
Speaker A
Mason immediately told Jesse to take cover, and upon checking his surroundings, he realized that the person was Workman.
14:41
Speaker A
In the midst of their fight, Jesse managed to take Workman's gun, but because Jesse didn't know how to use it, she could only threaten him.
14:48
Speaker A
Workman then tried to attack Mason again, but fortunately, and managed to overwhelm him. After that, Mason immediately fled with Jesse and Arthur in a car.
14:57
Speaker A
Manafort, who had received a report from Workman, began to worry because Mason was still proving difficult to defeat.
15:04
Speaker A
Therefore, he decided to dispatch an additional team led by Agent Ross to pursue and eliminate Mason. Shortly afterward, Mason and Jesse parted ways with Arthur to continue their journey to London to Kamal's place. Along the way, Jesse said that her life might end up
15:18
Speaker A
being just like Mason's, full of running away in danger. Mason promised that it would all be over tonight and that Jesse would have a new life to live. However, Jesse begged to be allowed to stay with Mason, but Mason
15:29
Speaker A
refused because for him the only way out was to stop everyone who was still hunting them down. That night they finally arrived in London and Mason went to Kamal's nightclub. This time Mason deliberately exposed his face to the
15:41
Speaker A
surveillance cameras to draw MI6's attention. At MI6 headquarters, Madison finally realized that someone had been illegally accessing Thea's technology all along and that person was Manafort. However, Roberta chose to put the matter with Manafort on hold and decided to focus on
15:57
Speaker A
Mason first. Mason's whereabouts have now been detected not only by MI6, but also by Manafort who immediately dispatched a special team to the location.
16:07
Speaker A
Inside the nightclub, Mason meets Kamal and asks for his help in getting Jesse out to another country with a new identity on this very night.
16:15
Speaker A
Kamal initially refused the request, but after Mason explained that the MI6 and Manafort were still actively operating and potentially threatening his business, Kamal was finally willing to help him.
16:26
Speaker A
Kamal then asked Mason to wait for a while and at that moment Jesse again asked Mason to go with her.
16:32
Speaker A
According to Jesse, Mason's plan to detain Agent M16 and confront Manafort's men was a suicide mission and he didn't want Mason to die. But once again, Mason insists that he can't go with her.
16:45
Speaker A
Meanwhile, at the MI6 headquarters, Roberta had tasked her team with bringing Mason and Jesse in alive.
16:51
Speaker A
However, at the same time Manafort's team of mercenaries had already arrived at the location.
16:55
Speaker A
Shortly afterward, Kamal finally finished processing all the paperwork for Jesse and asked Mason to take Jesse to the port immediately.
17:03
Speaker A
At that very moment, Roberta was startled by a report that an unknown unit had already arrived at the nightclub and begun hunting for Mason.
17:10
Speaker A
She immediately realized that the unit was Manafort's mercenaries. Meanwhile, as Mason was about to leave the club, he spotted Manafort's henchmen and began fighting them off one by one.
17:24
Speaker A
[music] However, amid the chaos, Mason was separated from Jesse, who had been taken away by one of Manafort's men.
17:34
Speaker A
Mason then contacted Arthur to ask about Jesse's whereabouts, and after receiving information about her location, he immediately rushed there.
17:43
Speaker A
At the same time, My Six agents finally arrived on the scene to capture Mason alive, but he quickly neutralized everyone who posed a threat to his life.
17:51
Speaker A
Shortly afterward, Mason finally found Jesse inside a car, and the two immediately fled together on a motorcycle. Because at that very moment, Workman had arrived at the scene. Mason then took Jesse to a place that had been directed by Kamal, and upon arriving
18:05
Speaker A
there, a speedboat was already waiting for them. But just as Jesse was about to leave, Workman suddenly appeared and started shooting at them.
18:15
Speaker A
After making sure Jesse manages to leave safely, Mason turns to confront Workman. The two exchanged gunfire until they ran out of bullets, and the battle turned into a hand-to-hand fight.
18:32
Speaker A
In the fight, Mason finally managed to defeat Workman, and this time he made sure Workman was killed on the spot.
18:41
Speaker A
The next day, Manafort, who had just woken up, was shocked to find that all of his bodyguards had been killed at his residence.
18:48
Speaker A
And it turned out that Mason had come to see him. During that meeting, Manafort said that Mason used to be his best right-hand man.
18:55
Speaker A
However, he regretted Mason's decision to prioritize humanity over military missions. Manafort then revealed that he had developed the latest version of the Black Kite's program and wanted Mason to return as his right-hand man.
19:07
Speaker A
He also said that Mason would never be able to escape his past. However, Mason replied that the reason he was still alive today was to put an end to that past.
19:16
Speaker A
Mason then killed Manafort to ensure that Jessie would remain safe and no longer be a target for anyone. 3 months later in Spain, Jessie had settled into her new life, but she was still under MI6 surveillance.
19:28
Speaker A
Roberta made sure Jessie was safe so that Mason wouldn't act out of control like he had before.
19:34
Speaker A
One day Jessie received a gift from a stranger and when she opened it, she found a chess pawn. From that gift, Jessie finally realized that the sender was Mason and the film ended.
