Plot: Tobin Frost (Denzel Washington), an ex-CIA agent turned international criminal, acquires a file from MI6 agent Alec Wade (Liam Cunningham). Attacked by the mercenary Vargas (Fares Fares), he enters an American embassy and is moved to a CIA safe house in Cape Town, South Africa.
The "housekeeper" is Matt Weston (Ryan Reynolds), a low-level agent. He watches Frost's interrogation by Daniel Kiefer (Robert Patrick). When Vargas and his men attack the house, Weston escapes with Frost captive. Weston contacts his mentor, David Barlow (Brendan Gleeson), at CIA headquarters. Catherine Linkater (Vera Farmiga), another senior CIA operative, orders Weston to lay low and call back later.
Weston hides with Frost and calls his girlfriend Ana Moreau (Nora Arnezeder). Weston tells her to leave the house. Linkater then tells Weston to go to Cape Town Stadium to retrieve a GPS device with the location of a nearby safe house. He retrieves the GPS at the stadium, but Frost creates a diversion and escapes by disguising himself as a policeman. Weston, detained by the police, gets free but can't catch Frost. Weston returns fire from a policeman as he escapes, injuring him.
Weston is ordered to go to the nearest American embassy for debriefing. Instead he meets with Ana, where he reveals that he is a CIA agent and sends her away for her safety. He then locates the house of Frost's likely next stop--document forger Carlos Villar (Rub?n Blades)--where Frost is attacked by Vargas and his team, but escapes with Weston's help. They learn that Vargas is actually working for the CIA, which is seeking to retrieve the files Frost received from Wade. Frost is taken to the new safe house by Weston, where Weston is attacked by the housekeeper, Keller (Joel Kinnaman). Weston helps Frost to escape before passing out from his wounds, and Frost leaves. Meanwhile, Linkater has arrived in South Africa with Barlow to discover who leaked the location of the first safe house, but is murdered by Barlow, who goes to the safe house and reveals that he is Vargas' employer. He confirms Frost's earlier statement to Weston that the file contains incriminating evidence against many nations' intelligence agents, including Barlow. He encourages Weston to lie about what has happened. Frost returns to help Weston but is shot by Barlow, who is then shot by Weston. The dying Frost gives Weston the file.
Back in the U.S., Weston meets with CIA Deputy Director Whitford (Sam Shepard) who informs Weston that unflattering facts about the CIA must be removed from his report but that he will be promoted. He asks Weston about the file's location but Weston denies having been told about it by Frost. Whitford states that whoever has those files will have many enemies. Weston leaves, then leaks the files to the Internet, incriminating personnel from many intelligence agencies.
Weston sees Ana across a street in Paris, France. She reads a note passed to her from him, then he turns to leave.
