The Encounter: Paradise Lost
Can't we just
send a driver?
They're friends,
not guests.
Did you remind Tim
that the people are coming
with the new furniture?
Oh.
Sweetie, can you pretend
that we're running a business?
If I wanted to work, I would
have stayed in New York.
I'm going
I'm going
Hey buddy, the new furniture
should be here in about an hour.
You're gonna have
to sign for it, okay?
Okay.
You know, I don't know
why someone who spent
become a doctor of divinity
instead of a real doctor.
You could really help
some people, you know?
I wanna help
people with this.
I tell ya what, why don't
you just forget everything,
stay with us here
in paradise?
I wanna help other
people find paradise.
Yeah, stepped in it
that time, huh?
Oh, there's my
master's voice.
See ya later.
Christopher!
Yup, yup,
yup, yup, YUP
Sorry, honey.
I told him.
See ya, son.
Chu.
I got him.
He's outside of Deville's.
You have a positive ID?
Yup.
It's him.
Is he
carrying any suitcases?
No.
Well, you hold your position.
I'll have a team there
in a half-hour.
Half an hour?
He could be gone in 5 minutes.
Let me take him now.
That's a negative.
I only want this guy
carrying drugs or money.
That's not necessary.
We've got
a fugitive warrant.
He's been indicted
on two RICO cases.
And he's gonna
walk on both.
I want this guy.
We need hard evidence.
I want him in jail.
You stay in your car
and you just watch him.
What's up?
See that guy
over there?
What guy?
The white
guy with the beard
I think you and I are the
only two whites around here.
What's wrong?
Someone you recognize?
No.
But he seemed
to know me.
This is all you'll need.
Cameron will meet you
at the Anantara Resort.
It's a lovely place, although
it's taken on the stench
of death as of late.
Cameron will provide you
with police protection
as long as you're
in the providence.
But once you're out of here,
you're on your own.
I hear that this is
your last shipment.
May I ask why?
I had enough.
You've had enough?
Well, that makes you
a very dangerous man, Bruno.
Our entire society's
built on having more,
bigger house, faster car,
more beautiful woman.
What if everyone decided
they'd had enough?
Our entire world order
would come tumbling down.
The day you have enough, Bruno,
is the day you die.
If I didn't
know you better...
I'd call that a threat.
Sound like a threat
to you, Charlie?
Sounds like a threat
to me, Bruno.
I bet you want
more, Charlie, don't you?
A little more
never hurt anybody.
White man.
It's Caperna.
See you around, Deville.
Bye, Bruno.
Vaya con Dios.
Here,
take the phone.
Wait for me
at the hotel.
- Here, you take this.
- No, you keep it.
Go ahead.
What took you so long?
Release him.
What, what?
Wait, wait.
What do you-
what do you think you're doing?
I'm releasing this man.
We have no evidence
he's committed any crime
in this country.
He's wanted in the
United States of the America.
Do you have an
international arrest warrant?
I'm sure we do,
back at the office.
But you don't
have it here.
Sir,
you're free to go.
Thank you.
See ya around,
Ricky boy.
Wait, you can't
release him!
I've been chasing
him for 5 years!
You bring me
the right paperwork,
I'll pick him up
for you.
How much is he
paying you?
You're under arrest.
Arrest me?
Arrest you!
How much are
they paying you?!
Take him away.
Ugh!
Well, that didn't
take long.
We need to be packed up
and out of here in 5 minutes.
Let's go.
Where is it?
There isn't any more.
You've got
to get me some.
Next week you'll have enough
to dive into head first,
but rig ht now I need you to
pull yourself together.
We have to get
out of here.
Don't you care
that I'm hurting?
Come on, Mimi,
I don't have time to explain!
It's been longer
than a half-hour.
You should consider
yourself lucky
that they're letting
you go at all.
You punched
a police inspector.
Yeah, well,
he was corrupt.
You try pulling it.
Where's my gun?
It's conscated.
But here's your flight
to Los Angeles.
It's a condition
of your release.
And if you ever want this back,
you will get on that plane.
I'm not letting him
slip away again.
He's long gone.
I'll see about that.
Get back here.
Get back-
Consider yourself suspended.
Ah, Special Agent Caperna,
or should! say former
Special Agent Caperna?
Can I get you a drink?
No, thanks.
That's rig ht.
You don't drink.
You don't smoke.
You don't gamble.
Your only vice is your
hatred of drug dealers.
I'm just wondering what you
plan to offer me for Bruno.
You're under suspension, so you
can't offer me legal immunity.
You don't have a gun,
so you can't threaten me.
Ha, ha, ha.
Cheer up,
today's your lucky day.
Mr. McGrilly has outlived
his usefulness for me
so I can offer you a sizable
discount in the hopes that we
can have a more permanent
relationship in the future.
This is on the house.
Sometimes
I just love my job.
Ha, ha, ha,
ha, ha, ha.
Have you seen Chris?
It's coming.
Yeah.
It'll be here
in a couple hours.
I'll be with you soon.
Dad-
One way or another.
Christopher!
Christopher!
Christopher!
Christopher-
You're impossible.
Aroon took the rest of the
staff to the evacuation center.
He'll be back for
us in 20 minutes.
I'm not going.
The storm is gonna
tear this place apart.
Well, I'm going, but not
to the evacuation center.
I'm going to Bangkok.
I'm gonna take the first
flight out to New York
and I'm gonna
file for divorce.
Helen, reopen our
house in Los Angeles, huh?
Community property laws
are better there.
It's okay.
We're not gonna
get divorced.
I have something
else in mind.
Don't give up hope.
Don't worry, son.
She'll get over it,
same way she
got over you.
Put the gun down.
You okay, baby?
Mimi?
Ric's gonna be there.
Just let him take out Bruno
and then you kill him,
and then it's
all yours, Charlie.
Who is it?
It's no one, just a girl.
Which one?
You mean they have
individual names?
Are you an American?
Yeah, what are
you doing here?
My name is Ric Caperna.
I'm special agent with the
Drug Enforcement Administration.
You have any
guests here now?
No, we evacuated our guests
yesterday and our staff today.
Can you
show me around?
Sure, this way.
Charlie,
check out the place.
Get down!
Helen, we've
gotta get out of here.
Ric, don't make
me hurt these nice people
Put the gun down, Ric.
Come on.
Put your gun down!
Come on.
That's right.
Not so tight, Charlie.
I'd hate for Ric
to be uncomfortable.
May I ask
what's going on?
What's going on
is irrelevant.
What you really want to know
is if you and your wife
are gonna be safe,
and the answer is yes,
provided you do exactly
as you're told.
What about him?
Let me worry
about him.
You ought to be worrying
about yourself, Bruno.
Shut up, Caperna.
Charlie!
Ricky boy, behave yourself.
You might just survive
this afternoon.
Look,
