up north, but...

...I don't know too many Muslims be

up there, so something's funny.

- What do they want from you?

- I don't think it has to do with me.

Jessica's friend is the daughter

of Senator John Winthorpe...

...and I think maybe that's

what they were after.

- Sh*t, man. I'm sorry.

- Listen, Fitch...

...I've been out of the game

for 10 years.

I need some goddamn help.

Listen, man, I mean...

I'm not on the inside

anymore, you know?

I've got some contacts.

Yeah, I'll check it out.

They've been giving this government

a serious headache.

- Do the best you can, you hear?

- I'll do whatever it takes, Jake.

- Excuse me. Jake, right?

- Yeah.

- I want to thank you for what you did.

- You're welcome.

- Where are you going?

- Back to the hotel.

- Which hotel?

- Songwat.

Oh. Well, maybe we could

get something to eat.

- Something nice.

- Yeah, but I'm not hungry.

Thanks.

Mom...

...I want you to find Dad.

We're gonna need his help.

I love you, Mom.

Help!

Brother, I haven't forgotten

my English.

- You're looking very good.

- Thank you.

- Must be the haircut.

- And how are your wounds?

- Better.

- And how is your heart?

Healing nicely.

I haven't forgotten that day, Jake.

I'm very, very proud of you.

You stay a full monk

for 10 years...

Really, really wonderful.

Then again, I think you're

the lucky one...

...because your life is simple.

Simple is good.

Simple is very good. I wish I had

simple in my life right now.

Jake, I'd like to think you came all

the way out here to see me...

...but I don't think so.

Is everything all right?

It's Jessica.

She's been kidnapped.

What?

By who?

Well, they're saying the Abu Karaf,

but I don't think so.

- Is there anything I can do?

- Your prayers.

I'm going to go see

Paijan Paitoon.

- How are you?

- Good.

- How was your flight?

- Long. Very long.

You must be exhausted.

Come.

- Have some tea.

- Sure.

We've got a unit of rangers that

can mobilize whenever I say so.

But I need intel, bad.

This is a preliminary report.

It covers what we know of the

Abu Karaf and their known locations.

I don't have the resources

to deal with this for you.

I fully understand, and we'll offer

whatever you need.

I'm very grateful.

Until there are dead bodies,

my priority is the girls.

Of course.

I'm sorry that these animals have

involved such innocent children.

You have to eat something.

I'm not hungry.

You need to eat to keep

your strength.

We have to stay positive.

I know my dad's gonna

do something about this.

He can't help us.

He can't.

You don't know my dad.

For 10 years, I have

pledged my life...

...to atone for my past.

This is my life.

But now going back on this road...

...I have great trepidation.

If you walk this road...

...you may not come back.

I will take with me...

...everything you have taught me.

It is your choice.

Thank you, master.

- What are you doing here?

- I come to bring you food.

- Did Fitch put you up to this?

- No.

He does not even know I'm here.

Okay.

Am I disturbing something?

No, not at all. Come in.

- And she is...?

- Lulu, a good friend of mine.

Hey, thanks for the food.

Okay? I'll call you.

What are you doing here?

I gave back my vows.

I'm here to help you.

You need to leave now.

I've spoken to Master Paitoon.

He understands.

You'll screw up the last 10 years

of what you've done.

I don't want you involved.

Jake, you know I'll do

anything for you.

I owe you my life.

Brother, listen to me.

You don't owe me anything...

...but thank you.

Listen, I may have a lead for you.

A man by the name

of Fernand Zadir, a French Arab.

- Who is he?

- Algeria originally...

...then France.

Been here 15 years.

Started in furniture but moved up

to bigger stuff.

Bigger stuff meaning arms.

Yes. And you know who runs

most of his business?

- Abu Karaf.

- Exactly.

Let's do it.

That's Fernand Zadir. He's got

half the local police in his pocket.

The other half likes eating here

too much to bust him.

Who's that girl?

Her name is Lena.

She works for someone rather big.

Well, let's find out how big.

I want to talk to your boss, huh?

Please, sit down.

What can I do for you?

I was wondering if you could

pass on a message for me.

- Who to?

- To the Abu Karaf.

What business have you got

with them?

Probably none, but some say

they had something to do...

...with the kidnapping of my daughter.

- Are you sure?

I'm not sure at all, but I thought

we should meet...

...and straighten things out.

Well, that is very unfortunate...

...but I'm afraid I cannot be

of any help.

Pass on the message.

- Hey, Fitch. How you doing?

- Jake, how are you?

- All right. How are you doing?

- All right. Lulu, come here.

I'm gonna get you laid if it kills me.

It's not what I had in mind.

What do you got?

I've got a guy coming in

from Singapore...

...says he did business

with the Abu Karaf.

- When's he coming in?

- Says he's busy. Two days.

Okay. Well, listen, did you ever hear

of a guy called Fernand Zadir?

- No.

- You sure?

Sure, man. I can find out.

You do that.

Okay. Yeah, man.

- I will see him to the door.

- Yeah, you do that.

Jake, I need to talk to you.

- About what?

- I can't tell you here.

There's something I need to tell you.

Fitch lied to you about Fernand Zadir.

- How do you know that?

- He does know him.

I have seen him at the club.

- What else?

- Nothing. I have just seen him.

I've only been working there

for three months.

So, what are you doing here?

I have some personal problems

with my daughter.

- How long will you be staying here?

- I really don't know.

Listen, there's something

I want you to do for me.

Bridgeport?

"Sang Kom train yard tomorrow."

Yeah. How you doing? All right?

All right, keep going. Good, good.

All right, I'll see you in a bit.

I gotta check

on this air conditioning.

Yeah.

You did what?

If the boss found out you sent it

by the f***ing fax, he'd kill you.

Don't be such a f***ing idiot.

Of course I won't be there.

Go by yourself.

Be there at noon.

- I thought I could come with you.

- Okay.

Go home.

- Jake.

- Yeah?

Be careful.

Okay. Somebody up there

about to snipe Mongkol.

If I let him do that, I could lose

the only link to my daughter...

...and I can't let that happen.

If I shoot him...

...a whole world of trouble's

gonna come down on us.

- Yeah.

- Here we go.

Some men were killed today.

You are responsible.

I know who you are.

Okay, so, what would you like me

to do?

Mr. Hopper, you disturbed

an important anti-terror raid.

That's not true, and you know it.

Maybe a few days here

will help you understand.

Our hospitality is famous.

- I think that'd be a big mistake.

- No, Mr. Hopper.

You made a big mistake

by coming here.

Wait. Hold it.

Captain, tell your men

not to do anything stupid.

- Let him go, Jake.

- Leon, Leon.

My daughter's rotting somewhere

in a goddamn hole.

Do you expect me to get
