Synopsis: Mike Riggins, an imprisoned ex-US Special forces operative in Eastern Europe, is offered his freedom and money to rescue an American woman, Ana Gale, who has been kidnapped by a ruthless warlord. But, shortly after freeing her, Mike discovers that the kidnap story was just a ruse to bring Ana out into the open. Our hero suddenly finds himself and his charge being hunted by ruthless government, para-military, and underworld organizations - all who want him dead and Ana under their control. With no one to turn to, and the enemies closing in, Mike must uncover the truth about Ana and bring her to the safety of the U.S. Embassy.

Prison time.

Solitary.

Guy is a goddamn

out of control mercenary.

This is worse than we thought.

Get me a flight to Gourna.

Hey. Come here.

lt'll be all right. Come on.

Vlado.

Ana.

- l knew it.

- He's here to help us.

Yeah. Sure.

Are you all right, Ana?

l'm fine.

You have caused me

much trouble.

- l'm sorry to hear that.

- Help us Vlado, please.

- They're trying to kill us.

- Okay.

l will take you

to the American Embassy in Luka.

l'll take care of her.

l always have.

Well, l'm still comin' with you.

l have some unfinished business.

Vlado.

Well, why am l not surprised?

Time to show you the money,

Mike.

l assume we still have a deal.

Not that you have much choice

at this point.

Pick it up and walk away.

- What about Ana?

- l'll take care of her.

l promise.

Take the car.

- Vlado wont need it.

- Mike.

What are you doing?

Everything'll be fine.

So it really

was all about the money?

Bastard.

Don't worry.

Well, Princess.

What do you want?

Your father was either

a sentimental old fool...

or he felt guilty about...

f***ing your mother

and not marrying her.

What are you talking about?

He left the controlling interest

of Robbin lndustries to you.

You must be kidding.

l have no interest

in his dirty business.

That's good.

Then you won't have any trouble

signing this.

lt's a pre-notarized

transfer deed...

of your controlling interest

in Robbin lndustries.

So all's it needs

is your signature.

Transfer to who?

- Your uncle, Trent Robbins.

- Uncle Trent?

He's behind all this?

He's your father's brother.

Somebody has to run

the business, right?

No, this is all wrong.

He can't do this.

What do you care?

- Just sign the f***in' paper.

- No, you'll kill me anyway.

You stupid b*tch.

Sign the document.

No.

You are either

going to sign this document...

or l'm gonna have little pieces

of your brain all over it.

Do you understand me?

Where the f***

did he come from?

He saved us.

l'm sorry. He was a good man.

Drago, he's heading

out of town in your direction.

- Cut him off.

- Copy that.

One down.

Watch out.

There they are. Keep on 'em.

Hang on.

Cut them off.

Get on 'em.

They're getting close.

Stay with them.

Sh*t.

Watch out.

There they are. Keep on 'em.

Right there.

Shoot, now, now.

How the hell

are they finding us?

Connelly.

Where the hell are they?

Goddamn it, we lost 'em.

We gotta return to base now.

Oh. Sh*t.

Well, l guess that's it.

Well, let's go.

Come on.

Well, l guess these are the best

accommodations in the area.

As long as there's no bed

for you to tie me to.

There you go.

That'll have to do.

Thank you

for coming back for me.

Why'd you do it?

Beats the hell outta me.

How did you end up here

of all places?

The Marine Corps.

Brought me to the Balkans.

l was in Kosovo.

All the way up till it ended.

Saw things in that war

no one should have to see.

So l came here.

To do what?

Transporter of high tech stuff.

You mean a weapons smuggler?

Not exactly.

l was bringing weapons

out of war zones.

Maybe it was my way

of justifying what l was doing.

And you got caught?

Yeah.

And now you're just

a kidnapper, huh?

l was.

Are we gonna make it?

l don't know.

lt doesn't look too good.

Every road from here to Luka's

has been sealed.

lsn't there some other place

we can run to?

You don't run from

a guy like Connelly.

You'll just make it easier for him

to put a bullet in your back.

Let's get some rest.

You get some sleep,

l'll take the first watch.

At least l'll die rich.

- What are you doin' up?

- l couldn't sleep.

How's your wound?

Where is he?

He's gone under for now,

but he can surface any minute.

This is the most insane

f***in' thing l've seen.

Where's Drago now?

l've got every one

of his men on it, still nothing.

This guy has more brains

and guts than all

of you put together.

lf you had paid Drago the money

he wanted for the girl to start...

with none 'a this

would have happened.

From now on,

do not do anything,

l mean, anything without

checking with me first. Got it?

Hey.

Wow.

What happened last night?

The best thing to happen to me

in a long time.

l don't care who you are.

l'm just damn glad l met you.

We need to find

some transportation.

Well, let's hit the road.

Hang on.

Police are tellin' me

a truck was stolen...

from a farm twenty kilometers

from here...

- by a man and a woman.

- Just got a call.

The Board'll give me full

control of the shares...

within thirty days

if Ana can't be found.

Kill 'em both.

Three miles to the Embassy.

They know we

only have one place to go.

Relax.

Yes sir.

Here we go.

Buckle up.

Oh, sh*t.

Take the wheel.

Good.

Sir, we got an unidentified vehicle

inbound at a high rate of speed.

Terrorist attack.

Take your positions.

Fire.

- What are they doing?

- They think we're terrorists.

Stay down. Get down.

Let's go.

Come on.

All right.

Get down over there.

Ana.

Come on out, okay, kitten.

- Uncle Trent.

- Stay down.

Fire.

l'm not gonna ask you again.

Come out, Ana.

F*** me.

Ana.

- Take the second floor.

- No problem.

Ana.

Ana.

Where are you?

Ana.

Uncle Trent. You bastard.

Come on, kitten.

Everything's gonna be all right.

You liar, you've been trying

to kill me.

Ana.

Ana. Come on, Ana.

l'm not gonna hurt you.

Sh*t, God. Oh, sh*t, Mike.

Oh, sh*t. Mike.

Listen, l got a lotta money.

There's a lot more money.

A lot. l'll give it all to you.

You'll never live long enough.

Ana?

Listen to me like you've

never listened before.

l want you to call Ana now.

You gonna talk me to death?

Have it your way.

l don't believe...

- Are you okay?

- Yeah.

That one didn't graze me.

Still lucky Mike.

Yeah.

Oh, God.

U.S. Marines. Stop right there.

Let me get those hands.

God bless America.

All right boys.

Stand down.

So, now that you're

a rich woman...

what are your plans?

l thought l'd kidnap

you for a change.

But this time we'll do it right.

Oh.
