Come on.

Can you get

Okay, dad.

You got it?

Yeah.

Good boy.

Yeah.

- Come here, I want to talk to you.

- Okay.

You know, daddy's gotta

go away on this trip.

So you gotta be the man

of the house, all right?

- Mm-Hmm.

- Mm-Hmm.

And you gotta take care

of mom, all right?

And no matter

what happens,

You're gonna be

my son forever.

Right?

Nothing could

ever change that.

And I'm gonna be

your dad forever, right?

Yeah, forever.

Now, look.

See this?

Look at that.

Who's there?

- Me and mom.

- You and mom, that's right.

And I'm gonna have you guys

with me all the time.

And I'm gonna place you right

here next to my heart, okay?

I have you with me

all the time,

Then nothing can ever

happen to me.

this is jack Begosian.

Somewhere along the line,

we decided to turn

The seven deadly sins

into virtues:

Greed, gluttony,

anger, avarice...

Mr. Begosian has been instructed

Not to answer that question for

the sake of national security.

I am instructing you

to answer the question!

I will remove Mr. Begosian

from this hearing

Before I instruct him

to answer.

Did you lie under oath,

Mr. Begosian?

Don't answer

that question, jack!

Please answer the question,

Mr. Begosian.

Did you lie under oath?

Yes.

I lied.

Welcome to Quito,

Mr. Shore.

Come on up.

I got something

to show you.

Thank you.

Welcome to my home.

Come on in.

Close the door.

Miguel said

you might need

A little bit

of protection, so...

You pick.

Come on,

let's get out of here.

I'll give you

a good price.

Let's go.

What's your hurry? I'm

gonna get you there on time.

- Give me the keys.

- You don't want me to drive?

- No.

- I'm your guide.

Get in the car.

Good! That way,

I can keep drinking.

You're lucky

you know my friend Miguel.

He says you two

worked together before.

- He says I can trust you.

- He said I could trust you.

I'm very good

at what I do, my friend.

So you work

both sides, then?

yeah, but

only one at a time, okay?

- A man of principles.

- I'm a professional.

You pay me,

I work for you.

And I'm the only one

that knows where they're at.

I got smugglers that work

the mountains for me,

And they see

a lot of things.

Tell me

this one thing then.

What?

Francisco Francis...

is he alive?

For now, yeah.

I arranged a back-Up

vehicle like you asked.

It's up by Esmeralda.

It's the old slave town.

It's gonna be

a quick extraction.

We find Francis,

we're in and we're out.

I know you have

a plane waiting.

But what if Francis

doesn't want to go with you?

what then, my friend?

Then he won't survive.

South Africa has

over 50 million people.

We'll be running

the entire water system

And we're in negotiations

with Greece.

Greece is going to privatize water?

Yes.

Look, I've been hearing

nasty rumors about Clearbec.

Our reputation as

an international provider

Of high-Quality water

service is impeccable.

Yeah right,

I'll send you my story.

Send it to me before it

goes to print. Thanks, Wayne.

You're late.

You have docs to sign.

I'm not signing anything until

I get some answers about Ecuador.

I wouldn't mind

a coffee though.

Tracy, coffee,

straight up.

Morgan, this deal

with south Africa is huge.

We are going to own every

drop that country's got.

Wow.

That'll certainly

drive up the profits,

- Won't it, people?

- Come sign these.

Uh, that'll be my arm.

Hang on.

All right, all right,

all right, all right.

When was the last time

you brought the kids

Up to the lake house,

like dad did with us?

I want you

to listen to me.

I have power

over your bank accounts,

Your estate

and your stocks.

That's the way

dad set this up.

And I can have

that changed.

- No, you can't.

- Oh?

You can't.

Your well-Being

Is inextricably linked

To the well-Being

of Clearbec.

You have to sign

these papers.

You need

to sign these papers.

No. You need me

to sign these papers.

I have to have

a cup of coffee.

thank you.

- Yes?

- Morgan just hired

Jack Begosian

to go to Ecuador.

Morgan's hired someone

to go to Ecuador?

Not just someone...

jack Begosian.

Who's jack Begosian?

That's correct, general.

I'm sending you an extensive

file on him right now.

Jack Begosian?

That's correct.

- I understand, Mr. Calder.

- Thank you, general.

The army is

controlling access

To the area where

my men have seen him.

Give them

a little bit of money

And they'll let us

move through.

No!

No!

Slow down here.

Just let me

do the talking, okay?

I know how

to handle these matters.

Listen.

If he asks you who I am,

Tell him I'm a Canadian

nature photographer.

- Do you have a camera?

- No.

That can be a problem.

No vehicles

allowed past this point.

Ask him how long it would be

on foot to the bird sanctuary.

The bird sanctuary.

Um...

A day and a half.

Ask him,

if he would be so kind,

If we leave him our jeep, and

let us pass through on foot.

- He says yes.

- Okay.

Tell him thank you very much,

and come get your stuff.

Thank you.

Get 'em out of the road.

It's okay.

It's okay. It's okay.

No.

Morning, Bruce.

Some liabilities close

to home have developed.

- With my sister?

- No, tony green.

- Tony?

- He's going to the press.

He already set up

a meeting with a reporter.

It's

what you need. It's what you...

Are you...

are you crazy? Huh?

You can't do that! You

cannot shoot soldiers here!

This is

general Aquilas area!

And then you leave

a witness behind!

Too late.

- Yeah, too late!

Yeah, too late for me!

I'm toast!

Top of that ridge.

That's it.

They're up there.

That's the ridge?

- Yeah.

What are you doing?

What?

I don't climb at night.

all I worship...

in other words

please be true

in other words

try and kiss me...

Good evening, Mr. Green.

all I worship seem...

Would you mind terribly

if I called you tony?

Or would

you prefer Antonio?

Yeah, I would prefer you

call me by my goddamn name.

I am Anthony Green,

American.

Now cut me loose,

chief, will you?

Who was your meeting with,

Mr. Green?

I had no meeting.

My meeting's with you.

It's our understanding

you were scheduled to meet

With a member of the press

unfriendly to our cause.

Yeah, well... your cause?

That's what you call it?

- It is my duty to protect my country,

Mr. Green. -

Okay, let me tell you something

about your understanding.

It's based

on a misunderstanding

Because I didn't meet

with any reporter.

What an unfortunate

answer, Mr. Green.

As we say...

For I have already met

with the reporter.

This only confirms

our suspicions about you.

- No. No no.

- My men will take care of you from here.

The reason

this has happened

Is because too many people

have too much,

And too many people

have too little.

So this is not over

by any means.

I agree with you.

Vaya con dios.

Hey! Hey, man!

I am an American.

I'm an American!

You can't do this to me!

Yes, general?

Your associate seems

to be missing.

Well, if you find him,
