Man On Fire Page #6

I will even help him, if I can.

But, uh, I would like to

understand him.

Give me that.

Pita Ramos...

that's a number to you.

You know, one more dead,

but a number.

What was she to Creasy then?

She showed him

it was all right to live again.

And the kidnappers

took that away, huh?

And they're gonna wish

they never touched a hair on her head.

A man can be an artist...

in anything... food, whatever.

It depends on how good he is at it.

Creasy's art is death.

He's about to paint his masterpiece.

I don't have anything else to say.

Can you hear me? Huh?

Know where we are?

We're under the bridge

where the deal went bad.

The ransom got stolen.

You wanna tell me what happened?

- Have you heard of La Hermandad?

- Yes, I have.

- Do you know what it is?

- Yes.

I'm the president of La Hermandad.

- You're the president?

- Yes.

The president? Wow.

Look at me.

Oh, you can't.

[Chuckles] I'm sorry.

- How's that?

- [Grunts]

Let me show you what I got here.

See this? This is a charger. It's used

by convicts to hide money and drugs.

They stick it in their body.

They tuck it up their rectum.

You familiar with that?

This... Look at me.

Pencil detonator.

Timer, used as a receiver-transmitter.

C-4. Highly explosive.

You put 'em all together,

you got a bomb.

Not very sophisticated,

but very powerful.

- That's what you have in your ass right now.

- [Gasps]

Don't move. Don't move.

Don't move.

Cheap watch. Pager watch.

Used to send a page to the receiver

that's up your behind right now.

So, I'm gonna send you a page...

which you will receive...

in five minutes.

Now.

- [Tape Rewinding]

- [Button Clicks]

You got less than five minutes

to tell me what went down...

between your men and the kidnapper.

I have nothing to do with the kidnapper.

- Four minutes and 30 seconds.

- Nothing. I don't know him.

You don't know?

Four minutes and 25 seconds.

Four minutes and 20 seconds.

Are you sure?

Okay.

I got all the time in the world.

You don't, but I do.

- Hey, relax, relax, buddy.

- I'm relaxed.

You got three minutes, 59 seconds.

I saw the opportunity,

and I got lucky.

And?

And I had my men ready as we

got instructions where to go.

You had your men ready

to steal the drop.

You had your men ready to kill

one of the kidnappers, yeah?

You've done this many times.

- One of the nephews of the head kidnapper...

- Bingo. Bingo. Bingo.

- Bingo, yeah. You've done this

many times, huh?

- Many times, yeah.

- Yeah. Killed many victims too, haven't you?

- Come on, sir.

- We just make out as best we can.

- "As best we could"?

[Sighs]

Two minutes, 47 seconds.

Wait-Wait a minute. Come on.

- I have a little gift for you.

- For me?

- Yeah. Come on. Come on.

- What do you got?

There was no $ 10 million.

There was one half in the bags.

The ransom was $10 million?

They put it in two bags.

- Five million in each bag, right?

- Two bags, true.

But one has half paper...

the other only paper.

[Chuckles]

Maybe your men stole it.

Whoever did it

took it before the exchange.

Okay. At the Ramos house...

before the exchange,

who put the bags in the car?

- Guess what.

- What?

Ramos lawyer, Jordan Kalfus.

- Jordan Kalfus?

- Yeah.

Pedro.

Sir? Please.

l-I'm sorry.

I'm really sorry for the girl.

It was just business.

You know, I'm a professional.

That's what everybody keeps saying.

"I'm just a professional."

Everybody keeps saying that to me.

"I'm just a professional. I'm just a professional."

I'm getting sick and tired of hearing that.

You understand me?

What are you going to do now?

What am I gonna do?

I'm gonna leave. I gotta go.

- Yeah. I got...

- Come on. Come on. What about me, huh?

- What about you? You got 40 seconds.

- Come on.

- Thirty-five.

- A last wish, please. Please.

Last wish?

I wish you had more time.

- Hola.

- Mariana, it's me.

- Creasy, where are you?

Listen, I got something

that looks like banking codes...

from BankCoast in the Cayman Islands.

- I need it translated as fast as you can.

- Whose account is it?

Jordan Kalfus, and it looks like

U.S. deposits and withdrawals.

Give me the same thing

Samuel Ramos. That's it?

- Okay.

[Doorbell Buzzes]

[Lisa]

Honey?

What's going on?

That's what I wanna know.

What is going on?

Huh, Sam?

I'm gonna ask your wife a couple

of questions, okay?

You move...

you make one sound...

I'll snatch the life right outta you,

you understand?

[Panting]

What happened, Lisa, hmm?

Were you in on this?

- Or was it just your husband, huh?

- Am I in on what?

You know what I'm talking about... Pita's

kidnapping, her death. Were you a part of it?

- Pita got killed because the ransom got stolen.

- Shut up!

Yeah, the money was stolen.

You're right. He's right.

The money was stolen by Victor Fuentes.

How much was stolen though, huh?

- $2.5 million, right?

- What are you talking about?

He knows what I'm talking about.

$2.5 million. That's what Victor got, isn't it?

- What are you talking about?

- 2.5 million.

Jordan Kalfus...

that he put in an account in the Cayman

Islands, but he won't get a chance to spend it.

What happened to the other five, Sam?

Huh? That's 2.5, 2.5.

What is five from 10?

That's five. What happened

to the other five, Sam? Tell your wife.

- It's your chance to talk.

What happened to the other five?

- You got a wife, Creasy?

- No, I don't have a wife.

Then you'll never know how hard

it could be to tell your wife the truth.

No, you have a wife!

You tell me what happened!

It was in this room

that my father prayed.

- I don't give a f*** about your f***ing father!

- My father prayed.

He prayed that his gambling

debts and his infidelities would

be forgiven right in this room.

- Samuel! I love you!

- What, Lisa?

- Tell me the truth.

- I didn't inherit a kingdom! That's the truth!

You wanna know the truth?

I inherited his debt and his mess.

- I inherited his lawyerJordan...

- You tell me what happened to my baby!

Say it! Say it! Say it!

Say it! Say it! Be a f***ing man!
