(PEOPLE CHATTERING)

Ma Sek.

Tony Dimitri!

Nice to see you.
How have you been?

Very well.

Mai Ying,
you are beautiful, as always.

Thank you.

Hell of a time to be here.

Tony,
what a jet setter you are.

Where are you off to next?

(CHUCKLES) Who knows?



Maybe I'll try Brazil.

Ah, Tony, if I had
a life like yours...

Ma Sek,
if I had a wife like yours...

Excuse me.

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

Ladies and gentlemen,

it is such a great honor
and privilege

to introduce
our new president!

Let's welcome him.

I fear for this country
with that man as president.

PRESIDENT: My friends,
I will be brief.

You know me as a man of deeds,
not words.

Once order is established,

our country
will continue to enjoy
prosperity and abundance.



There are those
who would jeopardize
our country's prosperity...

MAI YING: Who was that man?

That was Rivas.

(POP MUSIC PLAYING)

Keep driving.

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

I'm afraid
you've made a mistake.

We're not even Americans.

I said shut up.

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

Stop!

Now I'm going to have
some fun with her
before we do Rivas business.

MA SEK: What are you doing?

Leave her alone!

Leave her alone!

MAI YING: No!
Please!

For God's sakes, no!

(MAI LING SCREAMS)

Don't tell me you're back!

He never worked
Sundays before.

And we were just getting used
to the peace and quiet.

Lieutenant, look who's here.

We think it's Crockett.

Cute, Rico.

See you on the wanted posters,
Sonny.

Charges have been
brought against you.

In the murder of a detective
James Yagovitch.

There's a number of homicides
that are being investigated

in the Manolo,
Carrera and Gato families.

I don't know anything
about that.

Are you saying
that you didn't have a hand
in the killings?

I don't remember anything
after the explosion.

All right.

(SIGHS)

Lieutenant, you want
to do me a favor?

Yeah.

I'd like to just
get back to work.

Even if it's desk work.

Not yet.

For now I want you
to take some time off. Rest.

I'll get in touch with you
in a few days.

Mai Ying?

(CRYING)

(SHUSHING)

I keep hearing that sound
over and over.

The body hitting the car.

You had no choice.

You saved your husband's life
and your own.

He's more worried for me
than for himself.

We took separate flights
over here.

Tell me,

who were these people?

Ma Sek isn't sure.

It could be a man named Rivas.

I see.

Does your husband know
you've come to see me?

No.

Do you know where he is?

I'm supposed to call him
at 6:00 p.m.

To arrange where to meet.

You said
if I ever needed help,

needed a refuge...

Customs have cleared,
it's loaded.

Where's your son?
Who's taking care of him?

He died, Martin.

I'm sorry Mai Ying. How?

It was a car accident.

I was taking him
to the dentist in Rio.
A drunk driver.

I didn't see him coming.

He smashed into us, head on.

I couldn't do anything.

You can't blame yourself.

That's what everyone tells me.

MAN: Keep looking for them!

(MAN SHOUTING IN SPANISH)

(COP 1 SPEAKING IN SPANISH)

COP 2: Here, either.

They're not here!

Let's go.

(MUTTERING)

(SLOW ROCK MUSIC PLAYING)

I know this is hard for you.

It is for me too,
asking my wife's ex-husband
for help.

I can understand that.

I just have to know
who and why.

Ten days ago,
my boss from Miami
came to Quito.

He told me
to deliver a package
to a man, Rivas,

a businessman.

I gave it to him,
just as he asked.

But the next day
I get a visit from Rivas.

He told me he had not received
what he expected.

I told him I knew nothing.

I was only a messenger.

Did you know
what was in the package?

No, I swear to you.

My boss, Mr. Gray,
he never told me.

What's Mr. Gray's first name?

Malcolm.

Mr. Malcolm Gray.

I tried to reach him.

That is why I came to Miami.

But he's never in
when I phone,
and he doesn't call back.

I don't want to go
to the company's office.

Rivas's men are everywhere.

I'll talk to Gray.

Right now, I just have to find
a safe place
for you and Mai Ying.

(YELLS) Mai Ying!

(PEOPLE SCREAMING)

You're all right.

This is the man I shot.
Noberto Fuentes.

He is a soldier
in the Enrico Rivas family
in Ecuador.

Then Ma Sek must be right.

It's the Rivas family
that's trying to kill him.

We have to find Rivas.

Word is he's in Miami.
We just don't know where yet.

Let's find him.

Malcolm Gray.

He runs Phoenix S.A.
Import-export business.

One of this trucks
was taken down yesterday.

Driver killed.

What was he carrying?

Strange toy birds.

Anything else?

Yeah, the truck
just picked up the shipment

from an Ecuador cargo plane
yesterday afternoon.

Ma Sek and Rivas
came in from Ecuador.

I want to know
every cargo plane
and freighter

that's come out of Guayaquil
in the past week,
bound for Miami.

Let's find Ma Sek.

I don't want anything
to happen to this man.

That'll be it.

Funny you should call.

I was just thinking of you
a couple of days ago.

Really?
Yes.

At my age, the memory
begins to sputter a bit.

What was the name
of that restaurant in Bangkok,

the one on the river
near the oriental hotel?

Their specialty
was the ngu hau papet.

King cobra.

Chao Praya Residence.

Chao Praya.

Thank you.

I'm going back there,
you know.

Our company's
opening an office there.

Your company?

Which one?

Phoenix S.A. Import-export.

But I imagine
you know that already.

I try to keep up.

I thought
you were still active
in the Southern Hemisphere.

Oh, I am.

But only in
the private sector,
these days.

You had a Thai
by the name of Ma Sek

that worked for you
in Ecuador.

Martin,
a lot of people work for me.

I only wish I had the time
to meet them all.

You made this man
your personal envoy.

I'm afraid that's classified,
Martin.

Is Ma Sek a player?

He's married to my ex-wife.

I want to make sure
she stays alive.

Thinking about Ma Sek?

Yes, I'm sorry.

Don't be.
He's on my mind, too.

(SLOW ROCK MUSIC PLAYING)

I talked to his boss today.

There's a high possibility
that he works for the CIA.

You knew.

Why didn't you tell me?

I couldn't.
You know that.

When we were married,
I never told anyone
what you did.

You lied to me.

Mai Ying, I don't know
what his involvement is
in all this.

He's not involved!

He told you!

You don't understand him.

Do you still love him?

Do you?

Yes.

No.

What is it?

You look natural here.

Yes, it feels that way
to me as well.

Thank you.

Today, I want you to stay in.
I don't want you to go out.

I'm gonna leave
a person with you.
To take care of you.

Now he said that Ma Sek
often went to Guayaquil.

Did he ever mention
a ship? A plane?

No. Why would he?

You still think he's guilty,
don't you?

I'm sorry.

I just feel the earth
is turning to sand
beneath my feet.

(KNOCKING AT DOOR)

That will be your police.

I better get dressed.

I worry about the Lieutenant.

He needs somebody.

(TELEPONE RINGING)

Hello?

Wrong number, I guess.

I'm sorry,
I don't mean to pry.

But I know
how he feels about you.

Not that he'd ever cop to it.

I have to find the ginger.
It's around here somewhere.

You know, years ago
when I was a rookie cop,
I had my first shoot.

Man, I was really racked up
by it.

And the Lieutenant
he was there for me.
You know?

Mai Ying?

Mai Ying?

Mai...

Mai Ying!

Mai Ying! Wait!

Stop!

Mai Ying!

(TIRES SCREECHING)

(SCREAMS)

They just found Trudy's car.

They must have snatched
Mai Ying out of the car
in broad daylight.

Lieutenant, we've got
every available unit
surveying the area.

TRUDY: I blew it.

I just let her
walk right out on me.
Let her go.

Was there a phone call?

Yes. A wrong number I thought.

But, of course it was Ma Sek.

I don't see how Rivas' men
got so damned lucky,

to find her on the street,
before she could meet him.

There was no luck involved.

We know you're gonna
meet your husband.

Where?

When?

You are going to look
like a serious freak,
and for what?

Wait.

Let me talk some sense to her.

Rivas.

You shouldn't have to be here
at all.

A girl like you
should never have been exposed
to my world.

But when you get greedy,

you open Pandora's box

and all the monsters come out.

I did nothing.

My husband did nothing.

(SCREAMS)

Do you think I would disturb
the rhythm of my life

to come here to Miami
to harass
your innocent husband?

Or to hear you lie to me?

You could have made a mistake.

You could have
picked the wrong man.

Your husband is a thief.

He stole my money.

He didn't steal anything.

He is a good decent man.
He's not like you.

You are going to tell me
where you were
planning to meet him.

Or I will have Cortez
carve you up and eat you.

(GASPING)

(GASPS)

Martin, you startled me.

You should be afraid.

Now.

What is it you want?

Mai Ying.

Do you have her?
No.

It's your business to know
in which hole
men like Rivas are in.

(SCREAMS)

Castillo,
you're breaking my hand.

Where is she?

Where is Rivas?

That's classified.

All right.

He has a house
in Harbor District.

We're not sure where.

Sit down.

Now, Mai Ying,

just tell me the name
of the warehouse.

Please, I'm sick.

I must use the toilet.

First the name!

Warehouse four, 7:00.

We're in luck.

That's an hour from now.

I should have
thought of that before.

No woman could tolerate you.

We're going to have
a nice businesslike chat
with her husband.

(CHATTERING ON RADIO)

Hot food.

At my age,
my last remaining vice.

Besides greed of course.

I am glad
you came to your senses
about the money, Ma Sek.

If he has.

You do not trust me, Perkins?

Maybe I took all the money
meant for Rivas,

because I knew you two
were planning to cut me out.

(MUTTERING)

Both of you, listen to me.

Our past dealings
have just gone through
the shredder.

From now on,
we deal with one another
like businessmen.

Agreed?

Agreed.

All right.

Try this. It's wonderful.

Vintage 1968.

To the prosperous continuation
of our partnership.

Spoken like a professional.

Excellent.

(CHOKING)

Die like a professional.

(KNOCKING ON DOOR)

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

Walk out in the middle there.

Ma Sek,

if you are waiting for us,
rest assured
we will shoot your wife.

Let me see your manifest.

We want the packages
from Ecuador.

Phoenix S.A.

This. Where's this?

That's in C sector.
Over there.

Gina?

Nothing yet, Lieutenant.

I've got an all points out
on Rivas, Lieutenant.

Lieutenant,
I don't want to get your
hopes up or anything, but...

You're gonna think
I'm crazy.

In the bathroom
on the mirror,

there's these scratches.
They're not words exactly.

They're...

Can I show you?

CASTILLO: It's Thai.

What's it say?

Warehouse number four, 7:00.

Let's go.

I knew that.

Right, Stan.

I told you Rivas,
you were wrong.

He stole nothing from you.

I found this.

You found it?

Where?

In the back.
They hadn't processed it yet.

You didn't tell us about that.

That was wrong.

Cortez, this is a great day.

And now I am going to claim
eleven million dollars
in bearer's bonds.

Hey boss, hey boss,
let me open it for you.

(ALL SCREAMING)

Mai Ying! Come back!

Lieutenant!

Are you all right?
Yeah.

Rivas is finished,
but there's no sign
of Ma Sek, Lieutenant.

Martin, this bomb...

lf...

He must have given you
false information.

I don't understand.

Was it Ma Sek
who phoned you at my house?

Yes, but he told me
to meet him at...

When they kidnapped me,

it must have been Ma Sek
who told them
where I was going.

And Ma Sek told you
to meet him
here, at the warehouse.

Yes.

Then he must have figured
that Rivas
would get the truth out of me.

Do you have any idea
where he might be?

No, no, I don't.

He must have been
planning this for a long time.

He must have
had an accomplice.

Think back to Ecuador.

Check Dimitri
with Ecuadorian Airlines.

A.T. Dimitri
flew to the Bahamas
on Wednesday night.

Customs says he owns
a registered cabin cruiser
named Lady H.

That's it.
Check the schedule of Lady H.

I already did. Nothing.

Check it again.
There's got to be something.

Lieutenant,
we've already checked twice.

There's no boat scheduled
to come into the port.

Well, check it again.
Maybe he would fly.

No, that's too risky.

He knows Rivas would be
looking for him there.

No, he's got to come by boat.

(WHISPERING) Emergency lists.

Gina, do me a favor.
Call the coast guard.

Check the schedule
of any emergencies
that they've picked up on.

You're right.

You're right.

Martin, I have to talk to you.
It's very lmportant.

Yes, what is it?

If there's any way
I can help you,

I need to get Involved
in helping to get
Ma Sek to justice.

No.

Bingo, Lieutenant.

At 23:00 a boat, the Lady H
is coming into pier three

with reported engine trouble.

The captain is a T. Dimitri.

It's only two hours away.

Dimitri must be
the accomplice.

They'll be leaving together.

You must let me help you.

It's too dangerous, Mai Ying.

I have to find out
if Ma Sek set me up.

That's a personal reason.
I can't let you do it.

Excuse me, lieutenant,

but what if Dimitri
doesn't have the cash on him?

The only way
you can have him,
is if I give him to you.

(CREAKING)

I said I'll be right there.

You're so impatient.

Surprised?

Yes.

Then you're all right?
I'm not dead.

Rivas is.

I never meant for you
to be hurt.

I thought you would
give him the name
and he would let you go.

Another lie you told yourself.

I was going to send for you
once I had found a safe place.
Believe me.

You stole money from Rivas.

A gangster
who could've slaughtered
our whole family in revenge.

What family?

That all died with our son.

That won't work anymore.

You can't blame his death
on me forever.
You gave up.

You used his death
as an excuse.

A cheap reason to steal, kill.

Not cheap.

Real!

Listen to you,
you who were protected by men
all your life.

It's easy for you
to have your glowing ideals.

Try and live where I do.

I wouldn't wish for that
for the hell
you have made of your life.

You know nothing.

Yes, I stole from Rivas

money he stole from America.

From Gray and his partner.
Who were thieves themselves.

That's what the world is.

A million grubby hands
grasping for money.

(SCREAMS)

You, you betrayed me for him.
Castillo!

Let her go!

I said, let her go.

(SIRENS WAILING)

(SLOW POP MUSIC PLAYING)

I love you, my husband.

And I you, my wife.
