What color was that

canoe you found?

- Canoe?

- Yeah, what color was it?

Silver and blue.

Yes, I have a woman

who would like to speak to you.

Henry?

Kayla?

You didn't show up

for our date so I-I-I came out here.

This man's got a gun.

He's got a gun, Henry.

It's true. Even though I hate them.

Kayla, hang on.

I'm coming for you.

After you do your job,

you can leave with the young lady.

You have ten minutes.

If you don't come...

well, let's not talk about negatives.

You're in no shape to take this guy.

Just come in after me,

but keep your distance.

If you see an opportunity

to move in, take it.

Otherwise, keep your eyes

on Kayla no matter what, okay?

Forget that, man.

I say we take this boat...

- and get the hell out of here.

- What about Kayla?

It's my fault that she's even here.

That's another person

you wanna leave behind.

What is it with you?

I just wanna make a trade

with this guy.

Hopefully he'll let her go,

you get her,

you find anything that floats

and you get outta here.

Okay? Straight to the mainland,

don't look back.

Find the police, tell them everything.

Well, not everything.

- Okay, go, come on.

- This guy will kill you.

Well, I guess you should thank him.

Good luck.

You know, these beans are fair trade

from Colombia.

No slash-and-burn agriculture.

But you could care less, I'm sure.

Where is she?

- Where's your friend?

- He left.

He took Kayla's canoe to get help.

But by the time he gets there,

we'll be done and you'll be gone.

Why do I doubt that?

Show me Kayla or I turn around.

Mmm, that's good.

But you forget,

you're not the one

who's calling the shots here.

You need me to get what you want.

You just spent the last

two hours proving it.

Very true. Okay.

Outside, girl, now. There she is.

Let her go first.

I can threaten her,

you can say let her go,

you can threaten me,

and I can put my, uh,

on her throat.

It's all one big circle, you know.

And I don't have the time.

She waits here, or she die.

You're the only one left.

We're gonna do this my way.

You lose, park ranger.

Put the gun down.

That's right.

You know, you should learn

to tie better knots... next time.

Now then. Shall we?

Get on.

I'm making the dive. Let her go.

Or the girl stay here,

you know, uh, you finish the job,

and then both of you drive

to the sunset.

Let him think about what I'll do to her

if he fucks with us.

Francois, be a gentleman.

Just hang in there.

I'm gonna get you out of this, okay?

I'm not going anywhere.

He promise. Come on.

You know, Mister Taylor,

I'm not a bad guy.

I was in the service like yourself.

Oh, yeah? Which side?

That's not very nice.

Well, now you deal

drugs and kill people.

It's so true.

Where did I go wrong, huh?

I should've killed

you when I had the chance.

- You okay?

- Yeah. What's going on here?

What's going on?

We're getting the hell out of here.

We can't just leave Henry.

Henry can handle himself, trust me.

That man will kill him.

Look, he will not hurt him

until he gets the drugs.

We've got time to go get the cops

and get back here.

Now let's go.

Stop. Put your hands up,

turn around slowly and face me.

What are you doing?

No police, Mister Shotgun.

- F*** me.

- I'd rather not.

So how are we doing?

The suit's a bit tight.

He must've been kinda short,

your diver.

Don't insult Eto. Clock's ticking.

So you can see.

- Thank you.

- Attach this to the bag, tug twice.

You have eight minutes.

In nine minutes,

your lady friend will be dead.

Okay? Don't be late.

Just give me thirty seconds to clear

out of the way before you pull it up.

Oh, Mister Taylor. Be careful.

So what are we doing here?

Shut up.

I can see it in your eyes,

you're not a killer.

You can't see sh*t in my eyes,

except my eyes.

Look, tonight's been hard

on all of us,

except Xander quite often has me

do a lot more to distract people.

A lot more. So,

it may have been difficult for

you people, except for me,

it's kind of been a breeze.

So you're just a hooker?

I'm so hurt.

If you're gonna shoot me,

shoot me.

Okay.

Sh*t!

I can tell you're

in pretty rough shape.

Why don't you just come on out

and we'll...

And we'll work this out.

Xander,

a speedboat's approaching the dock.

It's two police officers.

What should I do?

Be normal. Tell them you're fishing.

Agree to pay the fine.

And, uh, be quick.

Good morning, officers.

What can I do for you?

You haven't seen the park ranger

this morning, have you?

No, I, uh, just got on the island

a couple minutes ago.

Been doing some late night fishing.

Is it season already?

I don't think it's...

Uh, no, okay, you caught me.

I just, I always get a head start.

I'll pay the fine.

Well, ma'am, we got a report

of a loud noise coming from the island.

We tried to reach the ranger,

but couldn't get through so...

I don't know what to tell you.

I haven't seen anybody yet.

Hey! Shoot her! Shoot her!

- Shoot her!

- What the hell?

Kayla, meet me at the pick-up site.

I've got the package.

Be convincing.

Sounds good.

I took care of our friend.

Let's get out of here.

Very nice.

Good, good work.

Oh, I'm not done yet.

This is a Magpul ACR.

It works after being submerged

in water hours,

days, even weeks.

You're great.

Come on. We're done here.

You're gonna turn the key,

drive to shore.

I'm gonna get Kayla

and we're getting outta here.

You look at me funny and you die.

Oh! You're the boss.

So remind me,

what are we doing here?

The cops are here.

We're gonna hand over the drugs

and you're going to jail.

You got it?

You mean those cops?

All right, move it.

- Henry! Henry!

- Hey, shut up!

- Oh, thank God, Henry,

- Henry.

- you have to help me! He's gonna kill me!

- She's with him.

- No, Henry, I'm not!

- She is with Xander.

Keep moving.

Keep going.

- Clay, what are you doing?

- He's crazy! He's gonna kill me!

- Shut up!

- You have to help me, Henry!

- Don't let him hurt me!

- Shut up!

- He's crazy!...

- I am not lying to you.

- Do not point that gun at me, man.

- -

- Don't let him hurt me, Henry, please!

- Listen, do not point that gun at me.

- Please. Please.

- Point that gun at me.

- Listen to me, okay?

- He's crazy!

Hey! You want this? Huh?

You want this? Come on!

You f***ed up, baby.

That's not good.

Henry.

You know, Mister Taylor,

most people never use

all five senses at once.

Me? I use everything I've got.

That's why I'm better.

That's my edge.

Oh! We get to play in trees.

I'm coming, Mister Taylor.

There's no shame in defeat.

Sleep, my child.

You gotta be kidding me.

A man has got to know

his limitations.

Well, Mr. Taylor,

you can always say "almost."

Bye, Mister Taylor.

Almost.

F***ing gasoline.

I knew it would ruin everything.

Come on.

Thanks.

Not a f***ing word.

Oh, my lips are sealed.
