Belly of the Beast

As I said, through our mutual friend in Burma...

...I thought maybe everybody could be understanding here.

We just want peace. You guys have the whole of Burma.

Stay there, leave us alone and tell my friend I said hello.

We respect him. We're staying out of his face.

We run a really big operation here.

Sometimes things like this, it happens.

We've been doing business for a while.

You keep your territory, we keep ours.

This arrangement works.

Right? War's never good for business.

Yes, you're right. The last thing we need is an enemy in the CIA.

Cross!

Help! Help!

Yeah, it's all clear.

Check the front gate?

Done.

- Check the north side? - Yeah.

Done. It's clear.

- You don't see anything over there? - I can't see nothing.

I checked it. It's clear.

- Hey, Daddy. - Hey, baby, everything okay?

Everything's great. How are you?

- Hey, did you get the list I left you? - Not yet.

I can't believe you.

Well, listen. Don't forget to feed the fish.

And remember, Maria comes in on Wednesdays.

And take care of yourself, okay?

- Don't drink too much coffee. - Don't worry about me.

Hey...

...let me talk to Brice.

Dad, how did you know?

Baby, when are you gonna understand I know everything?

Listen, Daddy, I love you. Take care of yourself, okay?

All right. Love you. Bye.

- What? - Nothing.

Shut up, asshole. My dad's the best.

- Come on, guys. We've got to go. - The train leaves in two hours.

All right.

- Let's go. - Yeah, let's go.

Watch out over there, man.

Yeah. All right. It's not like it's gonna break or anything.

It's time for you to die. It's time for you to die.

You're giving me a headache!

- You all right? - Yep.

Okay.

Hey...

...so why didn't you tell your dad that I...?

That I was coming with you?

He's... He's protective.

After Mom died...

...I'm all he's got.

All right.

He's a good guy.

Like I hope you will be.

And now for the latest world news.

Officials search for evidence after a bomb destroyed...

...a police station in Thailand this morning.

Fourteen military police were killed.

- Gen. Jantapan of Special Forces... - Come on, it's so boring!

- Music! ...assures the community...

...no stone will remain unturned. - Music!

Enjoy yourself!

Yeah, that's more like it.

- Oh, my God! - No!

No! Oh, my God!

Out of the water. Quickly.

- Hey, you can have all our money. - It's not about the money.

- No! - Brice!

- Hey, Tom. - Hey, Jake.

Two days early.

Listen, the agency know you're still using me?

No. No, this is just between you and me.

Well, let's keep it that way.

Listen, there's something else.

- We got a tape today. - What are you talking about?

There's no two ways to put this.

Jessica and the Winthorpe girl were kidnapped.

You're kidding.

- Does this have to do...? - No. Absolutely not.

- They don't even know who Jessica is. - Well, is it money or...?

We don't know anything yet.

Well, is she okay?

She's alive.

The Abu Karaf can no longer not do anything...

...when our brothers are tortured and oppressed.

These prisoners of war will be executed...

...within a week if our demands are not met.

All members of the Abu Karaf must be released with full pardons.

I demand an immediate response!

They got a list of demands as long as your arm.

We have a good relationship with General Jantapan.

He favors direct action and is offering full cooperation.

Gentlemen, I'm sure you understand the sensitivity of the situation.

We have to ensure this stays in the family.

Nothing is released without my express permission.

We must resolve this without harm to the girls or the reputation of the U.S.

We agree fully.

That's why I'm putting Agent Washington in charge.

He's been operating in the area for four years...

...and is more than qualified for the job.

- Leon? - Thank you, sir.

The first picture you have there is the current head of the Abu Karaf.

Name's Mongkol.

Since he took over...

...they've become more hostile towards the government.

The usual stuff.

Ambushing police patrols, small rudimentary bombs.

- Anything like this before? - Nothing, sir.

- Where's their money from? - Arms, mainly.

- What about this Hopper guy? - He's a good man, sir.

It's a damn shame his daughter's caught up in this.

Tom, didn't you work with him?

I trained under him for two years in Southeast Asia.

- He's been out for 10 years, though. - Where is he?

He left Honolulu four hours ago. Lands in Sangoon at 6 a.m.

Sit on him. If he starts making waves...

...pick him up, send him home. - Yes, sir.

That's all.

Thank you. I got a plane to catch.

Taxi service this way, sir.

Come on. Right here.

Excuse me, excuse me.

This way, please.

- Is this your first time in this town? - No.

Hey, where you come from?

- Far away. - Far away will be England, right?

Close enough.

All right. If you need something, just tell me.

- I'll get it for you, you know. - Okay.

You know, this town, I'm telling you.

There is the beautiful girls, like angels.

We have those younger, sexy girls. We have a lot of bars here.

Not only, we have a specialty massage here in this town.

It's very nice here.

I just need you to get me where I asked you, okay?

Yeah, I'm going this place that you want to go...

...but I want to give you information about the town.

If you like to drink some beers...

...we have young girls, look good, here...

...nice brown, black.

You'll see, you'll love it.

The ride is over.

- How long will you stay? - A week or two.

- How would you like to pay? - Cash.

Okay, would you please sign your name?

Come back, you asshole! Fuck you!

Open the fucking door!

- Don't go! Fuck you! Fuck you. - Come back here!

- You know my situation. - Yes, sir.

It's become an international issue, and I'm under a lot of pressure.

I understand, sir.

It's my men that are being killed by the Abu Karaf.

We're working with the CIA to finalize plans.

Just make sure you don't act without consulting me.

- We can't afford to upset anyone else. - Yes, sir.

Don't let this get out of control.

He won't leave me alone.

- What's your problem, junior? - Asshole, you calling me a junior?

- You look like junior. - Oh, you think you're tough, huh?

She's paid for, so it ain't got nothing to do with you.

I work for club, not you.

What you mean, you work for the club, bitch? You work for me.

Why don't you go back to your own genetic puddle...

...and go for a swim, boy.

So you think you're tough, you walking in here, huh?

- You all right? - Yeah, I'm...

What's going on? Get out of the way. What's going...?

Jake.

- We've got to talk. - Let's go have a beer.

My old buddy, Jake Hopper.

So, what's up?

- You here on business or...? - I got a little problem.

That's not like you, Jake. Mr. Clean.

No, it's nothing like that.

It's Jessica.

I'm afraid she's been kidnapped.

What do you...? I mean, where?

Well, they say with the Abu Karaf up north, but...

...I don't know too many Muslims be up there, so something's funny.

- What do they want from you? - I don't think it has to do with me.

Jessica's friend is the daughter of Senator John Winthorpe...

...and I think maybe that's what they were after.

- Shit, man. I'm sorry. - Listen, Fitch...

...I've been out of the game for 10 years.

I need some goddamn help.

Listen, man, I mean...

I'm not on the inside anymore, you know?

I've got some contacts.

Yeah, I'll check it out.

They've been giving this government a serious headache.

- Do the best you can, you hear? - I'll do whatever it takes, Jake.

- Excuse me. Jake, right? - Yeah.

- I want to thank you for what you did. - You're welcome.

- Where are you going? - Back to the hotel.

- Which hotel? - Songwat.

Oh. Well, maybe we could get something to eat.

- Something nice. - Yeah, but I'm not hungry.

Thanks.

Mom...
