Help me.

Please, believe me.

Now, why in the world would I

believe a lying convict like you?

I can get us out. I swear.

Help me. Help me, and I will

treat you like a brother.

My brother used to beat me.

Nice guess, though.

No, no, hold on! Wait.

Just make one phone call.

One f***ing phone call. Go into the house

and make one phone call.

An aviation company.

Tell them the word I say, and they will say

the plane will meet us tonight.

I swear. The plane will meet us tonight.

You a fag, my friend?

- No, I'm not.

- Then what are you looking at me for?

I was just thinking how f***ing

surprised you're gonna be.

Because, baby, you just did

that f***ing good turn.

I'm gonna make you rich, fat and happy

for the rest of your life.

No, just get me on the plane.

You like girls?

Better question:
Where you been

so long, do you like girls?

We have... You will have...

...the most beautiful...

- Yeah, beautiful women.

Not women, baby.

Girls. You got to trust me.

All young. All blond.

And this all takes place where?

In Dubai. In Yemen.

When we get to Maskala.

And now, what's Maskala?

- When we get to Dubai.

- What's Maskala?

It's where we clean them up.

We ship them rough...

...we make them nice and smooth,

and everybody's happy.

You're just a philosopher, then, huh?

How about making me happy tonight?

If there's a girl in the pipeline tonight,

you shall have her.

What do you say to that?

I say you're a stone-cold whoremaster.

F***.

I'm bleeding bad, my friend.

- What you need?

Need some tailoring tools.

If I had a wish list, I'd get you to

a drugstore. I'd get some morphine.

That'd get you back on Happy Street.

Then you get me on that plane tonight.

- Where's the gauze, ma'am?

- Right behind you.

The helo just went down.

Don't whisper. It draws heat. The helo?

The assault helicopter.

You'll be alone for

the first few minutes. Then...

That's it. You'll have

no backup at the house.

Well, there you go, then.

You said never go in without

an over-watch.

Yeah, that's fine, pal,

but this is the fleet.

You deliver him in the door,

you know they're gonna waste you.

Give me all your magazines.

Give me all your magazines.

Give me your piece.

Okay.

Just this, ma'am.

Fourteen ninety-five.

- Keep the change.

- I want to talk to you.

Give me your ammunition.

Hey, mister, you forgot your change.

It's a cop! It's a cop!

Don't move. Stay still.

Call 9-1-1!

Get back! Call 9-1-1!

No hostage, no hostage. We're in recovery.

Our 10 fast ropers...

Kill it.

Get us the f*** out of here.

All right, break it down, pack it up.

Now, now, now. Move it!

They hit the house. Girl wasn't there.

They found some signs.

She may have been there.

So we're going home

to deploy to Dubai.

Pack it up, strap it down.

The girls are taken from the house.

A holding facility, a compound?

It is my understanding, a compound.

- Drugged?

- He said.

"We ship them rough.

We clean them up.

Taken from Maskala

to the Royale Hotel in Dubai."

- All right. That's it.

- I've got you.

Affirmative.

Affirmative. No, keep the line open.

They'll have satellite photos

of the Maskala house...

...and the Royale Hotel, Dubai,

on the ground.

You'll restage, wheels up for Dubai

two hours after touchdown.

How many teams?

What? Three.

Three teams for Dubai.

Press has the report.

She missed her first class.

- Punch out the TRX...

- How you doing, chief?

Five by five.

All my readings are nominal.

Six two. Seven two.

What time is it?

What do you care?

I f***ed up.

Hey, you want a...?

You want some more dope?

Want a Dr. Pepper?

I tried to help.

Yeah, well...

...that's usually when people do

f*** up.

Listen.

You're gonna take that fight

to bed with you for a long time.

You don't gotta do it all now.

Where's the girl?

We gotta get the girl back.

I saw the sign.

What?

I saw the sign.

Then you are truly blessed.

Yep, all set up.

All right, let's get your flight plans.

- There's one on the thing.

- Yeah.

I got three pallets for the lead plane.

You still carrying that?

Yeah, I suppose I do.

Black, Jacqueline A. 24341924.

Can you get me on, sir?

Can you get me on?

- I'm just a worker bee.

- Two fellas in green.

Man-to-man, can you get me

on the plane?

Why would I want to do that, sergeant?

I mean, if you owed me money

or something...

...might want to give you a job.

- They're gonna need a woman there.

For her.

They haven't thought about that yet,

but they will.

Can you get me on the plane?

Thank you, sergeant.

Stand by, number five.

- All right.

- Keep on top of the tac air navigation.

Everyone's gotta be in the loop.

Guard frequency is 1727.9.

All right, gentlemen, may I have your

attention for one moment, please.

We'll be going through it on the plane.

The mission is to safely extract

the hostage.

To safely extract the hostage.

In outline, this is a smash and grab.

It is a straightforward extraction.

The hostage will be in transit.

One team will assault the vehicle.

One team will secure the perimeter.

Who's got the girl?

One team ready to lay supportive fire.

And exfil as per your ops plan.

The rules of engagement are:

Weapons free.

- Weapons free.

- Go.

We expect slight, I repeat,

slight opposition.

Okay, let's pack it up

and put it on the bus.

Sir!

It is confirmed.

The death of Laura Newton.

We have word from the Coast Guard

that the bodies have been identified.

Reporting from Harvard Square,

this is Jody Snider.

- Can there be any doubt?

- The Secret Service, for obvious reasons...

...keep meticulous records,

the DNA, the fingerprints.

- Yes.

- And she had just been in the water...

...for four hours, apparently.

And she had been sailing with

one of her professors, Gerald Sloane.

We are gonna have some video

coming in just now.

And we see the body bags

being removed from the water.

This is off of Martha's vineyard, here.

The divers, the Navy divers in the water,

who recovered her body...

...and that of Professor Sloane.

As we look at these... This video,

shocking video of...

You might want to eat something.

Real deal is:

The boat went down...

...girl and the professor

washed up naked.

Coked out.

Coast Guard dresses them up.

Nice knife.

Yeah.

Got it off an East German fella.

He give it to you for a gift?

No.

As I recall, he was...

...rather reluctant to part with it.

Yeah, I always knew you Marines

were a weepy bunch of motherfuckers.

I got something in my eye.

- Tragedy such as this.

Yes, particularly coming right at the start

of his reelection campaign.

Hey, Joe, come take a look at this.

- How you been?

- Here you go, Dad.

- Working hard.

- Bet you have.

- Morning.

- Howdy, kiddo.

How you been, Billy?

- Gallon gonna be enough?

- You been looking at my house?

Nope. Just trying to sell paint.

But now that you mention it...

- John.

- Hey, Mr. Reese.

- How's life on the road?

- Made some sales, missed some sales.
