Extortion Page #4

---

with your wife lately?

Why do you ask?

Does your wife or your son

have life insurance?

No...

Yes, with our credit union.

Where did all the money

from your account come from?

- What difference does it make?

- A big difference.

You rented a boat from a

local man away from the resort.

You don't have a

witness that saw

your wife or your son

get onto that boat.

Days later you show up at a bank

to complete a wire transfer

to an offshore account

accompanied by a

mysterious fisherman.

Mr. Riley,

is there actually a fisherman?

Is it possible that your family

was not on the boat as you said?

Are you serious?

You're wondering if I'm lying?

You're wondering

if I would do something

to harm my six year old son

and my wife?

I don't know who

the fisherman is,

but I know he left my wife

and my son on an island to die.

Right now they are dying

of severe dehydration

and thirst,

unless we go out and save them.

You look exhausted.

You need to get some rest before

the search starts tomorrow.

I'll take you back to the hotel.

We're going to find

your family, Mr. Riley.

We're going to find them.

I have a family, too.

Text me the account number.

There are dozens

of islands back there.

I am the only one who

knows where your family is.

- Damn it.

- Checking out the scores?

Yeah me, too. I tell you,

it's the only thing

that keeps me sane.

Family has fun and whatnot

and we go to the beach, and...

But I've been stuck, you know,

with my wife and the kids

in the same hotel room for a

week now, you know what I mean?

Don't get me wrong,

you know, it's a nice place.

I like it here, the family does.

You fish?

Big game fishing,

one of my favorite sports.

I placed third in this one.

You know, I also fish marlin...

What do you do with the

fish after you catch them?

Throw it back in, or sell it.

Who do you sell it to?

Fish suppliers.

Thank you.

Hey, anytime.

Detective,

if this guy's a fisherman

then he has to have a buyer.

He's got to have somebody

that he sells his fish

to regularly

and I think we can

track him that way.

Do you know how much resources

it would take to do that?

And if by some miracle we do track

him down through the buyer,

there's no guarantee that the fisherman

will talk in time to save your family.

- I'll make him talk.

- The plan is to search and rescue.

We do not have all

the resources possible

so you have to bear with us.

Let me jump in here. Mr. Riley,

let me introduce myself.

I'm Brian sweeney,

I'm deputy chief of

mission United States embassy.

- Can I have a word with you?

- We're on the case, okay?

Look, I know the

detective personally.

He's a good man,

he's been around the block.

Let's let him find

the fisherman, all right?

But in the meantime I need

every available resource

out there searching for your

family and that includes you.

You have the 100%

cooperation and backing

of the United States embassy.

- Let them do their job.

- Thank you.

- Okay?

- Thank you.

Hey, Mr. Riley.

- Yeah.

- Don't go too far.

They're expecting you

at the base in an hour.

I'm just gonna go up to my room,

I'll be back in a minute.

In an hour, Mr. Riley.

Hey, can I get a taxi?

Right away.

Taxi.

Thank you.

Where to, boss?

Where do fishermen

sell their fish around here?

We can go to the market

if it's still open.

- Let's go.

- All right.

Excuse me, I'm looking for

a couple of fishermen

that may be doing business here,

one is, uh... Haitian.

He's really thin,

he's probably 40 years old,

average height,

do you know somebody like that?

I don't know anybody,

there's this guy named Roger.

He knows all of them.

Maybe you can catch him

at the loading dock.

- He drives a brown Van.

- Thank you. Thanks.

Hey, stop the Van!

Hey, stop!

I'm sorry, man.

I was told that you might be

able to help me with something.

I'm looking for a

couple of fisherman

who probably do business here.

One is Haitian and he's

got a guy he works with.

His name is Jorge, he's latino.

Does the name ring a bell or...?

- No, man.

- What about the boat?

Pretty rusty antennas going...

I been doing this for

30 years, I would know.

No one we deal

with comes to mind.

How do you know those guys

are here at the market?

There are hundreds of boats

and owners all over the islands.

What if I were to hire

somebody like a deckhand,

you know, somebody to work

on my boat for me with me?

You can try the...

The harbor in the morning.

Okay, night fishing. What if I

wanted to hire someone tonight?

How would I do that?

If you are desperate

there's a bar by the harbor.

They all hang out there, easy.

Hey, man.

Uh, guys, excuse me.

Hey, um, I'm looking for a guy

by the name of Jorge.

- Do you by any chance know...

- What do you need?

- Huh?

- What do you need?

Deck hand for my boat.

Oh, got a couple of

guys here you know?

No, no, it's okay, I just

want to hire the guy Jorge.

- Do you know him?

- Yeah, that guy, blue shirt.

Jorge.

Yes?

Sorry.

Haagen.

Detective are there any

leads on the fisherman?

Where are you?

This is starting

to look very suspicious.

What are you not telling me?

I cannot just sit on my ass

and wait for the sun to come up.

I need you to tell me

where you are, immediately.

Okay, you know what, you call me

if there's any

further developments.

I'm telling you, my friend,

something's going on.

From the first time I saw him

I know something was wrong.

Yeah.

What's up, boss, where to now?

I don't know.

What you looking for, man?

Do you want some girls?

- No, no, girls.

- Okay.

Here, you know what, I'm gonna

give you 100 bucks just to wait.

- No problem, man.

- Where'd you get that scar?

Oh, man, I was cooking some

swordfish and a bone sliced it,

almost cut my finger off.

Where did you get the sutures?

- What?

- Stitches, who fixed you up?

Oh, they did it

at the hospital, man.

Which one, how many

are there around here?

There's only one.

Excuse me, I have a leg wound

that is showing

signs of infection.

- Please, first door.

- Thank you.

Okay.

Please, listen to me.

A few days ago, I took a

boat ride with my family.

We got stranded on an

island and a fisherman

asked us for a lot

of money to save us.

He took me back to

the shore and he left

my wife and my child

on the island.

After he received the money

he tried to drown me

and then he just disappeared.

My wife and my son

are still out on that island,

and they have severe

dehydration right now.

The fisherman is Haitian

about 40 years old.

- He's very thin really, really thin.

- Sir, please.

He's average height,

but he's got a deep laceration

on his inner tricep

and the sutures are fresh.

They can't be more

than a week old

and I think that

he got them here.

I need, I need his information.

Look, look, I'm a doctor, too.

Good, then you should know

I can't do that.

I didn't come

here for treatment.

That man is the only person

who knows where my
