...blond, usually blond...

...will unfortunately find

her way to Dubai.

They travel drugged.

They are tidied up and sold. For some

reason, most of them are sold to Yemen.

The girls are generally held in Dubai

till the end of the month...

...when the merrymakers fly in to examine

their purchases and take them home.

- And then?

- That is "and then."

- This is an American girl?

- And if that were so?

If that were so, why don't

your people go and fetch her?

- Why don't they go and get her, Bobby?

- Your intel, two men. Infil, exfil.

- Hardware and comms.

- And comms to what? I cannot give you.

- You could when you were a Boy scout.

- I'm not in scouts anymore.

You heard of the private sector?

That's where you found me.

Well, then sell me something.

What the f*** are we talking about?

- That's what it costs?

- That's what it costs you.

It's a straight-up snatch.

We got one, two guys

take down the car.

Then what are we talking about?

A conex container? One guy for a day?

Who's looking for a whore?

This job's a gimme. This job's nothing.

Then why don't your people

go and get her?

- I could hire anybody.

- So go hire them.

You talked to me. That's my price.

- There's another alternative.

- What?

As I said, we know this house.

- There are some people in this house...

- Avi.

...that if you were to go

while you were there...

...if you said hello to them for me,

I could cut your price.

- What do you think I am?

- I don't know what you are.

You ain't a planner.

You're a shooter.

I don't know what you are doing here.

I think you're off the reservation.

And I think there are people

looking for you.

You call, "Yoke me out."

Then you call for information.

You don't need information.

You need advice.

You wanna get this girl?

Are you sure she is there?

Are you sure she is alive?

You let me make a call,

and I will tell you.

I will see if I can make peace.

If I cannot, I will help you disappear.

Because you heard me call on Jesus.

Let me help you to see

if you can go home.

Excuse me. Fasten your seat belt.

We're landing soon.

Thank you.

Sir, your container is

booked out on Transgeneve.

Flight 562.

134o, tomorrow.

Good. Thank you very much.

I appreciate your help.

Mate, can I have a quick word?

I've got an outbound at 8:15.

- I'm in a bit of a hurry.

- Just a moment.

- Yes, sir. Let me see your form.

- Thanks, man, I really appreciate it.

Let me see your form.

- Sir? Sir?

- Yes, I'll seal you in.

- Sorry to press you.

- No, no. It's been a very busy day.

Same wherever you go.

Guess that's just human nature,

but no need to tell you your business.

There you go. Your container

is all sealed for you.

- Thank you for your patience.

- Thank you.

Have a great day.

Hey, mate.

Hey, mate.

Are you Mr. Brown's cousin?

No, Mr. Jackson couldn't come.

- I was expecting you on a later flight.

- How about that?

Yes, this is good work.

Your job tomorrow is put us in,

seal us in, walk away.

- And in Geneva?

- Let's go look at the ground.

About 25, 26 yards from the corner,

I want the gasoline.

Tomorrow, the car comes

around the corner...

How do we stop the car?

- We slow it down with two Bedouin women.

- What do you want the gasoline for?

- Do you speak Arabic?

- Yes, sir.

I want the women here.

At your signal, they go in the street...

...start a screaming match.

I shoot the tires out.

The driver comes out. You cap him.

I get the girl.

- What if he doesn't come out?

- I got five gallons of gasoline.

I douse the car. I throw a match.

They're coming out.

When you get me the two women...

...pay them half now, half tomorrow.

Then I want you to show me the hive.

We'll lay low till tonight.

Then show me the house

where they keep the girl.

All right. Limousine, usually.

It makes a turn, comes down

Abu Baku, where we were today.

My job is the hostage.

Your job is the opposition.

You come in on the driver's side.

You cap the driver.

The map's wrong.

This isn't north. It's flipped.

You have to be on the east side.

I need the sun in the driver's eyes.

I've gotta come in

on the opposite side.

How did you know that was north?

That's cassiopeia.

That's my girlfriend.

They're moving the girl.

Looks like it.

- Did you burn me?

- Can't say I did.

- You wanna prove it?

- Well, the Lord hates a coward.

We're taking the girl now.

Keep your eyes on me.

We're gonna fight the girl out.

If I go down, get her to Geneva.

There's money in it for you.

I'm gonna grab the girl.

You keep them off my back.

You wanna gossip

or you wanna shoot somebody?

Stop. Wait, wait.

Shut your f***ing mouth.

- Where am I?

- I'm here to take you home.

You got to keep still.

I'm here to take you home.

Drink it.

- Who are you?

- Drink it.

How are you?

I'm sick.

No, it's just a formal question.

Cover your head.

- What, you don't like blondes?

- The whole world likes blondes.

That's why you're here. Put it on.

Put it on.

And stay away from the window.

- I need a smoke.

- You can't smoke it.

What's it gonna give me, cancer?

Smell of American tobacco

carries in the desert air.

That's why you wanna

stay out of the desert.

I could make you give me the smoke.

Keep it together.

Keep your voice down.

We're gonna get you home.

F*** it. I don't wanna go home.

Nobody there cares about me.

I'm just a whore.

I'm just a little whore.

Yeah, how'd you get like that?

I was raised by wolves.

What are you crying for?

We're going home.

Did my father send you?

That's right.

Why?

Why? He wants me dead.

He sent me.

One man.

"One riot, one Ranger."

You ever heard that?

Leonidas, King of sparta...

...when a neighboring state would plead

for military aid, would send one man.

- Well, there you go.

- You ever hear that?

No. I think we went

to different schools.

You ever hear the one about the king

who turned his daughter into gold?

Yeah. He turned his daughter

into gold.

America's sweetheart.

His f***ing trick pony. His election ad.

F***ing cocksuckers.

He took the guards away.

I just wanted to talk to him.

He wouldn't even come and see me.

He said he would come and see me.

He sent a man.

"Here's what you tell the press.

Don't talk. Don't tell anybody."

I told him I was gonna tell.

He had to come and see me.

And he wouldn't even come

and see me.

He sent me.

I don't wanna go home.

Look, you go home...

...some wave their hats,

some turn their backs.

It's all the same.

None of them know where you've been.

It's all the same.

You tough, honey?

I think you're tough.

I'm cold.

It'll be fine, baby.

You're gonna take a little flight

in here.

- You're coming with me.

- No, I've got to seal you in.

You want a cigarette?

- Can you produce one?

- Believe I can.

Sit down.

You said they couldn't violate

their airspace.

- What?

- They couldn't violate their airspace.

That's right.

They couldn't violate their airspace.

- That's why you had to come alone.
