A Stranger in Paradise Page #4

I'll be right back.

Hey, where's Josh?

You seen him?

No.

Where the hell is he?

Could have just gone home.

Yeah, maybe.

Or Lek.

Mr. Pratt, why do we

have to do this?

I have no idea what

you're talking about.

I don't know anything!

Come on, wait! Ow! F***!

Now, where is the

package from Vicha?

I told you, I don't...

I have no idea what

you're talking about.

Then why are you here?

I told you, I'm visiting!

Yeah?

F*** you!

Look, what do you want?

The package your brother

gave you before Jao Poh.

Bring it to me.

Okay.

I told you I don't...

I don't know what

you're talking about.

That is not the answer I want.

Vicha gave you something

that belongs to me.

One more time... where is it?

Vicha's f***ed you over,

hasn't he?

The money is floating around

somewhere in cyber space.

And the only one who knows

where it is... is in jail.

Hey! Hey,

where are you going?

Drop it! Now!

On your knees!

Hands behind your back!

That's for hitting a guy

when he's taking a piss.

F*** you! F*** you!

F*** you! F*** you!

Who are you guys?

Justice Department.

What the f*** are you

doing here?

Vicha already told us

about the book.

What?

The yearbook, where is it?

What the f***? What is so

important about this book?

It contains the codes for all the

offshore accounts the Thai mafia has.

Where is it?

F***.

If I give you this book,

I want certain guarantees.

Like?

I just got the sh*t

kicked out of me.

I want protection for me, my

brother, everyone.

I want my f***ing trading

license back.

I want my whole

f***ing life back!

You bring me the book, I'll have

you on a flight out tonight.

Everyone!

Done.

Jesus, what happened?

Are you all right?

Where's the book?

What?

The f***ing yearbook!

Where is it?

What's so damn important

about this book?

Got all of Vicha's dirty

account information.

F***ing hell.

The f***ing Justice

Department wants it.

Yeah, so does Lek.

If we don't give it to Justice,

we're f***ed.

If we don't give it to Lek,

we're even more f***ed.

Do you see what they did to me?

Look what they f***ing did,

Paul!

It's okay.

F***!

Come here, it's gonna

be all right. It's okay.

It's gonna be all right.

We need protection, Paul, we

need we need to find...

I f***ing made a deal.

I made a...

I made a deal.

What deal?

With the Justice Department.

Paul, we just have to bring

them the f***ing book.

We bring them the book, they're

gonna fly us out tonight.

All of us.

You really believe Justice is

gonna take care of all of us?

Paul, I don't give him this

book... I'm going to jail.

Lek's not gonna give up,

even if he gets the book.

Fine.

Paul?

What about everything

you've built here?

What about the club? What about

the house? What about the girls?

Are you just gonna leave?

Jules, I have dug a big hole, and I pulled you

and Derek and everybody else down with me.

But I've got Josh involved and I

just have to make this right.

You know, we're done

here anyway.

I'm with you, boss.

I can't believe you're leaving.

I have to.

Look, I'll make sure Mei is

taken care of, everyone else.

Just, look, we gotta

get out of here.

I'm sorry.

It's just... it's about

my brother.

Maybe I just follow you.

And then?

I don't know,

we'll figure it out.

Here.

Oh, god, f***.

What is this?

I have no idea.

Give me your phone.

They were right.

Give me my computer.

What are you gonna do?

Cover our ass.

Oh, my god, what the hell

happened to your face?

Kris...

I need you to access my account.

Sure. Anything. Hang on.

Enter this number in.

4-3-5, 6-7-2-9-3.

Make a new copy, but I need you

to remove all source codes.

Then email that copy to me.

Do you see what I'm doing?

Yeah, yeah, you're limiting access

to their own accounts, I get it.

Okay, Mr. Innocent, so you get

sent to Bangkok on a vacation.

You find out the Thai mafia

is chasing you.

My guys have to come

in and save you.

All because you're involved in

something you know nothing about.

Then you make a deal with my

guys to bring them the book...

but, of course,

that never happens.

So tell me something, my friend, with

$80 million missing in a broken deal...

with the US Justice Department, why

shouldn't I be pointing my finger at you?

First, you guys f***ed up!

Do you understand me! You!

When you saved me, you let the

guy go who stole the book and...

Tell me we'll be okay.

We're gonna be okay.

Where'd she go?

Don't worry, she'll be close by.

Oh, sh*t.

It's Lek. F***!

Now what do we do?

I'm gonna give them the book.

Look, don't worry.

Paul, we can't give them

the f***ing book.

Look, just take this.

Look, just take it, all right?

It's gonna be fine.

All right? All right.

F***.

Just the man I wanted to see.

You, too.

Is that for me?

You know, I didn't know

you could read.

Just give me the book.

Then what happens?

Then you walk free.

I don't care.

Just like that.

Just like that.

No!

Paul!

F***.

Jesus Christ. Paul!

Paul! Paul.

Paul!

Oh, my god.

Sh*t. Oh, god.

You'll be okay, Mei.

I'll take care of you.

If you didn't know anything, Josh, why did

you let your brother give Lek the book?

With a gun to our head,

we didn't have a choice.

We had to give them the book.

And the phone?

You see? You had the phone, and

on the phone were the accounts.

And the accounts were full.

I wouldn't know.

I tried to see what was on the

phone, but it was encrypted.

Agh, come on, bullshit.

You expect me to believe you couldn't

access anything off that phone?

At that point, I didn't care.

My brother had just been killed.

I thought I was next. I thought I could

use the phone to get Virote off my back.

And that's all I cared about.

You're wearing me down,

you know that?

I gotta pee.

Kris, we're ready.

Okay, I'm ready.

Make the account read

Lek Senetran.

Hello?

It's Josh Pratt.

I'm giving the phone with the

account numbers to the Jao Poh.

You're sure you don't want

me to come with you?

No, you stay here.

I got this.

You're either very stupid

or really brave.

I believe we both know

why you're here.

Your version was missing

the new pass codes.

I believe we're talking

about 72 million or so.

No, no, 80 million.

Less the eight million

that was transferred yesterday.

Everything you need

to know is right there.

Now I believe we're done.

Now I'm gonna walk out of here,

and you're gonna let me go.

You have everything.

And I trust you're gonna take

care of our mutual problem.

Josh...

I like the way you think.

Bangkok is a very good place

to do business.

I'm beginning to like

it here, too.

Okay, so let's say all

of this is true.

And all you wanted to do

was get Virote off your back.

Then tell me why when my guys

showed up on the scene...

there were dead bodies, and a phone

with completely empty accounts?

Well? You're still alive.

You're still here.

May I ask you something?

If you could live anywhere in the world...

where would it be?

Bangkok, of course.
