Escape Page #2

but I saw the boy

with his bag, empty.

I just prayed for you

to find your husband.

Thank you.

Next.

This is all

you brought me?

No syringe?

Come on, I know one of you

shady characters has a syringe.

I need one to

irrigate his wound.

Look, I'm gonna

do this for you, okay?

Do you really need to

point that gun at me?

You will tell me everything,

or I bring it out again.

Okay.

I'm gonna clean his wound

with this, all right?

Captain want to drink.

Look, I don't recommend that.

Dehydration.

Okay, the good news

is he'll probably

pass out from the pain.

Look, I have to cut

away the dead tissue

and then I'm gonna

remove the bullet,

but it's gonna really hurt so

I need you to hold him down,

and I mean

hold him down.

You ready?

Let's do it.

Hold him!

My husband has

been missing all day.

I should have come to

you first and reported it,

but I kept thinking

he'd be back any minute.

How long has

he been missing?

Since this morning,

around 8.

There are many things

American men like to do

here in Thailand.

Amusement.

He may return this evening

smelling with a strong scent

of Singha on his breath.

No, he isn't like that.

We're here on business.

Okay.

If you insist, you may file

a missing person report

and contact your Embassy.

And if there's no evidence

of an accident or a crime,

we're under the assumption

that he's fine

and may not

want to be found.

Sir, there is evidence.

We work at the

medical clinic.

The boy I was chasing came

into the medical clinic

saying his mother was

in need of medical help,

that his mother

was in labor.

Your husband's a doctor?

We're both doctors.

And I found the bag

on the boy.

What?

The driver, he recognized

the boy you were chasing.

He's a street boy that

travel town between coves.

I've run into him

many times before.

But the boy,

he has no mother.

Do you know

where to find him?

Find out why

he did this.

Of course.

We do all that we can.

We will try to find the boy.

You're gonna need to

fill out some forms.

Look, I had to cut

away the dead tissue

and then take out

the bullet.

You didn't close it.

No.

This kind of wound

you pack with gauze

so it can soak up

the pus and the uids.

It's the only way

you can remove it.

It heals from

the inside out.

If I close it with

bacteria inside,

we're gonna have

some serious problems.

But it's okay.

It's simple.

I'll teach you how to do it,

and you can repack it yourself--

You will do it.

You're gonna take me

home tonight.

I'll still help you.

I'll get you medication from

the clinic, antibiotics;

otherwise, it's just

gonna fester for a week

and his vital organs

will start shutting down,

his kidneys, his lungs,

and eventually heart failure.

You're gonna end up

with a dead captain.

You keep him alive.

You will finish

the job.

Excuse me, wait.

I wanted to say

thanks for the advice.

I think he's gonna help.

You're welcome.

What do you do here

besides educate foreigners?

Oh, I don't work here.

Oh, I'm sorry.

It seemed like

you belonged here.

Oh, I came here a lot

over the last week.

That's all.

I hope everything's okay.

My husband also missing.

A ransom was demanded;

we haven't heard anything

from them since then.

Well, you're very calm.

If I'm still here

in several days,

my jai yang will not be.

It peace that

passeth understanding.

I'm Kim.

Somsri.

Thank you, Somsri.

Your husband

will be fine.

I have faith.

Thank you.

Maybe if you get a chance,

you can let room service know

that I'd like

to place an order.

You sleep.

Tomorrow you work.

Yeah, that's why a little

food would be nice.

Steak or shrimp?

Who's the

funny one now?

Steak or shrimp?

Death, life,

angels, principalities,

powers, things present,

things that are to come,

height, depth,

and all creatures.

Death, life,

angels, and--

HEY:

I heard you talking.

What are you saying?

Well, I'm so sorry.

I've been repeating things

that I memorized by heart.

It helps to keep

your mind alive.

I would have gone with

the periodic table, myself,

you know, instead of the

whole angels-and-death thing.

Periodic table?

Why, that's--

that's brilliant!

That's hydrogen, helium,

lithium, beryllium.

That's brilliant!

Mine's good, too.

It's from the Bible, you know.

It's a list of those things

that cannot separate us

from the love of God.

- Really?

- Yeah.

Well, I'd say being chained up

in an animal cage

is about as separate

as it gets.

You're the doctor?

How'd they get a farang?

What?

Farang, a white man,

American?

Who are these people?

Well, at first, I thought

they were just pirates.

But I think it's

a bit more than that.

They do regular runs.

They referred to a cargo,

but I think it's just their way

of saying people-

- Human traffickers?

- Yes.

These are not the brightest

of the suns of the morning.

They're not

the masterminds.

This is just the

transportation department.

How did you

get here?

Wrong place,

wrong time, nice boat.

Oh, by the way,

I'm Malcolm Andrews.

Paul Jordan.

So did you treat the captain?

Well, I removed

the bullet,

but we'll just have

to wait and see.

Do you know what

happened to him?

Did you notice

a girl at the house?

There were two.

One of them grew so tired

of her terms of servitude

that she grabbed his gun

and shot him in the leg.

His men shot her

in the head.

Do you know why they're

keeping you alive?

Ransom.

I managed to plant

the idea of ransom

into their greedy

little minds.

Now listen,

you take these blankets.

The name of the

game is survival.

You and I are going to

stay as fit as we can.

We're going to

keep our morale high,

and we're going to keep our

eyes open for that opportunity

that we will

get to escape.

All right?

And don't worry.

As long as you're useful,

they will keep you alive.

What happens

if I'm not?

Well, I will cover your back,

and you will cover mine.

Glad you're here.

It will make escape easier.

Michelle, hey, it's Kim.

Sorry to call so late.

I needed to talk.

Something's happened.

Paul's missing.

His brother and my dad are

getting ready to y out.

Can you pray for us?

And call me

as soon as you can.

Thanks

"And the peace of God

which passes every thought

will guard our hearts and

our minds in Jesus Christ."

Paul.

Could you just stop singing

for a second, please?

Willingly.

Tell me, is it the song you

object to, or all the singing?

Nothing personal,

but both.

Do you know that

song happened to be true?

It's the truth.

Let me tell you something

quite amazing about that.

The song writer composed

that as he was sailing over

the very waters where four

of his daughters had drowned.

And that was after

he lost a son,

and he lost his entire

business in the Chicago fire.

That's the worst story

I've ever heard.

Who would write a song to a God

that doesn't have enough power

to stop a tragedy

like that?

If snot

a question of power.
