It's not your week, Johnny.

Nope, not your week.

John. How's life?

Same sh*t, different pile.

Everybody down!

On the ground, now!

Get the hell down!

Hands where I can see 'em!

Open the register!

What's the matter, you deaf?

Hey.

I said, "get down."

You know if you shoot me in the stomach,

my chances of surviving go up, right?

Let me help you out.

How 'bout a hole in the chest?

Oh, yeah, yeah. You're right,

you're right. Effective but unsatisfying.

I'll tell you what. Ha.

The brain stem.

Shoot him!

What? Not your style?

I know, I know.

You're right, you're right.

First thing I do, severed brainstem,

you sh*t your pants.

You too classy for that.

I got it, I got it.

My favorite.

Classic, but with enough splatter

to let 'em know you mean business.

You f***in' crazy.

Hey, no, no, no.

I'm crazy and impatient.

Come on, come on. Come on, come on.

- Come on!

- Shoot him!

Don't make me do this myself.

Send me home!

- I don't...

- Shoot me! Shoot me!

Shoot...

You either shoot me,

or stop wastin' my time.

Keep the change.

Ha!

Ha! Ha!

I'm not here. Go away.

- Cindy...

- Save it.

Did I not call you last week,

and tell you I was comin'?

Yeah.

Did I also not email you,

just yesterday,

and remind you that I was comin'?

Yeah, a-and...

And?

And...

I got nothin'.

Look, Cindy, I-I'm sorry.

I don't know what happened.

I know what happened.

Look, Cindy, I'm sorry I forgot

to pick you up from the airport.

Well, if you hadn't have forgotten,

how would I know for sure

that you're my brother?

I'm sorry.

Remember that Jamaican restaurant

we went to with that fish?

Oh, yeah. Coley's, I think it was.

Man, that was so good.

No, no, I had enough

to drink at the wedding.

How was that?

You know me, always a bridesmaid.

Well, that's not gonna change 'cause you

already married to this darn notebook.

You startin' to look alike.

Give me that.

You know my life's in this book.

That's the problem.

You okay?

I'm fine.

I'm fine.

Are you taking your medicine?

Let me see that.

Come on.

Mints?

Really, John?

Look, look, my prescription ran out,

and I don't like takin'

those things anyway.

It make my head all swimmy.

Besides, you're always complainin' about

the sh*t that comes outta my mouth,

at least now it's minty fresh.

Nice necklace. Who got you that?

Some jerk, brother.

So tell me, how are the,

slums of Brazil treatin' you?

They're fine.

I'm flying back tomorrow.

And favelas aren't slums, John.

There's a lot of culture there.

Oh, cultural slums. That-that makes

it better, but they're still dangerous.

I regret gettin' you involved

in this in the first place.

I'm fine.

You sure about that?

Yes.

I'm just tired, you know.

Jet lag.

Take care of yourself, Johnny.

Katarina.

We'll never win them

over wearing that.

I won't win them over,

but I won't keel over.

Katarina! Katarina!

Cindy.

She's alive. Call an ambulance, now!

- Mornin', boys.

- Sir.

Betty, honey? Coffee please.

Detectives Santo and Bororo from

Rio police are here to see you.

- Okay. Send them in.

- Got it.

- Yeah.

- Good morning, Vice-Consul.

Detective Thiago Santo,

Rio de Janeiro police.

And this is my partner, Carlo Bororo.

- Please, have a seat.

- Oh, thank you.

So, Detective Thiago,

to what do I owe the pleasure?

Bad news, I'm afraid.

One of yours.

Apparently, she was doing social work

for an American non-profit

in the favelas.

You know her.

Is she...

Alive.

Barely.

She was found in the favela.

Who the hell would do this?

When you work with animals,

you're bound to get bit.

Hello?

What?

When?

What hospital?

I'm on my way.

- Thanks.

- Kuka.

You heard about Cindy, yeah?

You don't know anything

about that, do you?

That's what I thought.

You think they all lie.

If the shoe fits on the other foot.

These two go with me.

Hey!

Leave them alone.

They did nothing!

Of course.

They're innocent lambs.

Officer Da Silva.

So glad you could join us.

What?

This is your favela. Your assignment.

The same favela where an American

social worker, Cindy Chapman,

was almost killed a few days ago?

Do you have any witnesses?

Any suspects?

Any leads at all?

Soda.

Very useful.

You're right.

It's not gonna work.

The soda is too warm!

We need ice.

Paulo, get some ice.

The department gave your

gentle approach a chance.

One half-dead American later...

It's time to do it my way.

You made a lot of progress.

Let's avoid a nasty scene here.

I'll make you a deal.

Your best fighter...

against mine.

If we win, we live to

fight another day.

But if we win?

We give you back all your stuff,

we let everyone go...

and we never come back.

A deal.

Hey, man. Come over here.

Don't be scared. Come here.

Thiago, he's good.

But let's see how big a man you

are when our back aren't turned.

No matter what happens to me...

this man is not to be arrested.

Let's do this.

Watch this.

That all you got?

So...

We'll come back

as often as necessary

until we get whoever

attacked the American!

And you.

Don't forget whose side you're on.

Thiago!

I brought the ice!

Manny.

John.

Nice suit.

I see you stopped working out.

Good seein' you, pal,

under the circumstances.

Wanna get something to eat?

You hungry?

- No, I wanna go see my sister.

- That's what I figured.

Come on.

We've put her into an induced coma,

giving her brain a chance to recover.

John?

John, you okay?

Will she make it?

I wish I could tell you.

Given the extent of her wounds,

it's a miracle she made it this far.

Hey, come on in.

John, this is Detective Thiago.

He's in charge of

investigating Cindy's case.

I'm so sorry about

your sister, Mr. Chapman.

The crime in the favela is very

terrible, especially recently.

My men and I will do everything in

our power to find whoever did this.

She was volunteering.

Why would someone attack her?

The favelados see an American...

- they see money.

- So, it was a robbery?

Well, she was found without

the wallet, no cash, no jewelry.

So, do you have any leads?

We're questioning several known

criminals from the neighborhood.

- We'll have something.

- Okay, look, it's been a long day,

let's get you back to

the hotel for some rest.

No, no no. I wanna go

where Cindy was found.

With all due respect, Mr. Chapman,

the favela isn't exactly

a tourist destination.

Well, I'm not your regular tourist.

Good, good, good.

Let's, let's go.

Come on, come on, come on.

Thank you, Detective.

We'll see you downstairs.

It's a terrible thing,

all this violence in the favela.

Just a couple of drug dealers

battling each other to...

to sell more drugs to more

addicts in more areas.

If they think you're on

the wrong side, bang.

Right or wrong.

Your sister is in God's hands now.

I will pray for her.

In my experience, all God's good for

is giving people a reason
