Now it's time for you to pay

for your sins.

Go ahead.

Put it to your head

and pull the trigger,

'cause if you're not man

enough to do it,

I promise you, I will.

You know, for a long time

I wanted to do this.

Every goddamn day.

You think I didn't blame myself?

Do you?

I couldn't send any more men in.

He wouldn't have let that happen,

no soldier would,

And he was a soldier.

I still think I could have done more,

except I don't know

what the more is.

I lost my career, I drank.

I have a son.

I haven't seen him since my wife

threw me out.

So I got as far away from everything

as I could and here I am.

After a while,

I stopped feeling like I killed him.

A little bit at a time.

So I guess you're just too late.

A while ago I would have done it gladly.

Now, you're just gonna

have to do it yourself.

Sorry.

Very well then.

Don't you say a word.

This is Immigration

and Customs Enforcement.

That's not ICE.

They don't patrol at night.

- At least not without contacting me.

- You there.

- Let me see your hands.

- Sure, my bad. We just, uh,

out here night fishing. Trout.

You need to leave the beach. Now.

No problem. We ain't caught nothing

all night anyway.

- Who's there with you?

- I'm the park ranger.

What's going on here?

Just caught him night

fishing like he said.

Looks like he caught you.

Gentlemen, mind stepping forward?

Get down!

Was that gunfire?

Well, it ain't the fourth of July.

Eto's down.

Sh*t.

F***.

No.

Eh. Sh*t happens.

Eto.

Close your eyes.

What the hell was that?

Who was that guy with the shotgun,

and why was the ranger there?

I thought he was accounted for.

I don't know.

We had tabs on him.

How do you not know?

Oh. You don't know

how close you came.

So, let's get to the landing strip.

We don't know

if anyone heard those shots.

No one lives here except the ranger.

We can work with this.

We complete the mission

with the ranger.

He has training,

he can make the dive.

We hunt the ranger.

We kill the other guy.

No mistake. No hesitation.

Let's go.

Signs of struggle.

The phone is shattered.

That must be our new friend.

Sink all the canoes.

No one gets off

of this place except us.

There is a boat tied up outside.

The engine's still warm.

Sink it.

Oi!

No one asked you to leave!

Put the kayak down.

Now start walking.

Whatever you guys are up to,

go ahead and do it.

Just don't litter my park.

Oh, park ranger humor? Very funny.

Where is the other guy?

I don't know

and I don't wanna know.

You know,

he led me down here at gunpoint.

He wanted to kill me.

Well then, you won't be sorry

when we kill him.

Oops.

Hey, hey, hey, hey.

I don't want you dead, okay?

They do.

In the next few hours,

we're gonna have to work together...

if we wanna survive.

Work together?

Have you lost your goddamned mind?

Listen, in the service, they paired us

up with Pakistani "special forces".

These incompetent a**holes

who wanted us dead.

And we didn't like them either,

but we worked together...

knowing that at some point,

either later that same day...

or twenty years

from now when the politics changed,

we'd be trying to kill each

other again.

You understand what I'm saying?

Let's go.

Jean? Jean, report.

Saul, we've lost Jean.

Be prepared for heavy resistance.

Understood. When we were...

in the visitors center, I took a map.

I'm looking at it now,

and it shows another cabin...

further inland.

Take care of it. I'm on my way.

So, who the f*** are they?

Military trained.

French Canadian by the sound of it.

Probably mercenaries,

either working the drug routes...

or picking off the leftovers.

A lot of drama for some weed.

They got too much firepower.

It's gotta be something more

lucrative.

Okay, makes sense.

So what's our next move?

We gotta call for help.

You destroyed my phone,

so we need another one

and there's an old man...

lives a few miles up this way.

That's where we're headed.

Hey. Stop.

You sure he's got a phone?

I don't know.

But he's our only option.

No visual... on the park ranger,

but, uh, there's a body on the ground.

I think it's Jean.

Yes, stay on the trail. Minimal comms.

Radio compromised.

I guess that's that.

He already knew.

This guy's pretty smart.

What?

Your brother knew what he was doing,

and he never would've let us

sacrifice ourselves for him.

If this little truce

of ours is gonna hold,

let's not talk about

my brother right now, okay?

I just think you should know the whole

story before you kill a person.

If I were you,

I wouldn't talk to me about my brother

while I'm holding a gun.

Good point.

Let's go.

Sh*t!

Did you hear that?

Hear what?

If you have to ask,

then you didn't hear it.

Fragaria x ananassa.

The wild strawberry.

I wasn't aware you grew

in these parts.

They'll smell that a mile away.

So how'd you know about me?

Your tattoo.

And just intuition, really.

You get a feel for someone

who wants you dead.

Time?

Two and a half hours.

Gentlemen... good evening.

I would like to speak to whoever

has the walkie.

We are under time constraints.

We want to finish our work.

End this now and no one else gets hurt.

That's the wrong move.

We have a conversation,

find out what they want.

We know what they want.

They're drug dealers.

They want their drugs.

Allow me to be direct.

I simply want the park ranger.

The other guy, you can go.

This don't mean I trust you.

Move.

If you change your mind,

you know how to reach me.

I'm in the book.

How much further?

We're close. We should see it soon.

Mister Sanderson.

- Break it down.

- No, it's not a home invasion.

I don't want to involve the guy,

I just wanna get in,

make the call, and get out.

Forget the window.

No, this is our best chance.

No, we go in this door.

We don't have time for this.

I'll go, then you go.

I've got nowhere to run

once I'm inside.

You make one wrong move,

you're gonna have a new a**hole.

You hear me?

Now we do this my way.

What happened to trust?

I trust you to go pick up

that phone and dial out.

- What?

- It's dead.

- Give it to me.

- What, you think I'm lying?

Aw, sh*t.

Just what do you think this is?

A goddamn hotel?!

Put the gun down

right there on the box.

- Mister Sanderson...

- Do as I say, boy!

Hurry.

Okay, okay.

I thought you said you knew this guy?

I do. Mister Sanderson,

it's me, Henry.

Don't you recognize me?

I've not gone dumb up here.

You broke into my house.

I got a right to defend it.

Look, we ain't here for you, old man.

We got drug dealers out there

hunting us, trying to kill us.

Seems to me like you two

are trying to kill each other.

- Well, it's complicated.

- Always is.

Listen, we just need

to use your phone,

call the authorities,

and get off this island...

- before anybody gets killed.

- Phone don't work.

I had it cut off a couple

of years back.

Why the f*** is it sitting

on the table then?

It looks nice.

Hello again. It's a nice house.
