I want to go inside. I have to see for myself.
It's too dangerous. We have to wait.
There's too many police and I.N.S.
Let's talk to them.
Excuse me. Excuse me. Excuse me. Please.
That's my niece and my sister. And my wife.
My wife and my little girl.
I go ask.
Excuse me, mister. No. Leave us...
I-I want you to look at this picture. Leave us alone.
Please, it...it's my sister.
I want to know if she is in there, please.
Gimme the keys. Gimme the keys.
No.
Excuse me. Please.
Can you help us identify these people?
Please, I don't want to. I just came from there, please. Did you see their bodies inside?
Are you sure?
Did you see? Yes.
Yes. I'm sorry. Sorry. Sorry.
Oh, no.
No. No.
That's them.
Chechen. Okay.
I handle it personally.
- Hey. - Hey.
Wanna go to the grocery store with me? No, I'm good.
Yeah? I got stuff to do.
Like what? Uh, what if Dad calls? What if the phone rings?
You want me to be there to answer it, right? Thank you.
I'll stay here by the phone. I'll do all the work.
Have fun. Don't.
- Later. - I mean it.
Hey, asshole.
- You're giving me a headache. - Sorry.
I'm trying to sleep.
Hey!
What are you, a retard or something?
Let me guess. Stupid fake fireplace, two lounges and a couch,
coffee table, Navajo rug, some big crappy vase with twigs sticking out of it.
Voilą. Check it out.
I'm Angie.
What kind of a retard name did they give you?
All right, now remember. Twice is a coincidence. Three times you get the hell out of there.
Three times? When am I chased three times?
Okay, okay.
Paranoid is good. Paranoid is survival mode.
Uh, my mom, she's...she's a mom.
Dad, he travels a lot, like two or three months at a time.
Like he's in the military or something? Yeah, a bit like that.
So, what does he do? Uh, international business,
buying and selling of stuff, like knives and cardigans and...
Knives, huh? Ma'am, hold on. You said you're being followed?
Yes, someone is following. I've seen this car before.
Look. My husband works for the D.E.A. I know this sounds crazy, but we've had threats made against us in the past.
Sweet board.
Someone must be in the neighborhood. You must have somebody.
Someone who can get there right now. It's 5618 Semlin.
Have someone on the way. It'll be a few minutes. Thank you.
Thank you. Thank you.
So, you wanna, like, do it? #Do you like it #
Hang on a second. Hang on.
Hello. Hey, Brent.
It's Carole. I'm in the car, and someone's following me. Tyler's home alone.
You're... Wait, wait, wait. Slow down. Slow down.
You're so cute.
Kinda.
Hand brake, steering wheel and foot to the floor. All right.
Go! Go! Go!
All right. Keep it going. Keep it going.
Straighten it out! Straighten it out!
Let it go. Let it go.
All right, let's try it again. I think you got it. Okay. Okay.
Don't move!
I was just gonna give him a hand job.
We're at the Semlin address. All clear.
Hi. Hey, you okay?
Yeah, I'm okay. I don't know about Tyler, but...
- Hi. - Shannon Isler.
Come on in. Please. Please. Have a seat.
Angie. Angie. Angie. Angie.
This is crazy. What's going on?
Are you in the witness protection program or something? Yeah, I am.
How cool would that be if you were?
If your dad was some big mafioso or something.
Yeah, he's a salesman and a hit man. Okay, okay, chill.
Later. Hey.
- When can I see you again? - I live next door, asshole.
Who are those guys?
Is it possible that there is a contract on him? On us? I don't think so.
But we're looking into everything. Maybe you weren't being followed.
No, Mike taught me how to watch for these things.
The last time I saw these guys was the same day that the alarm company showed up here a week early.
I mean, doesn't that seem strange to you?
The alarm company checked out. I made the call myself.
- Look. I know this is a tough time for you. - I saw someone follow me.
We always do everything we can to keep you safe.
You know, if there really is a threat... You don't believe me.
I'm making sure that you feel safe until Mike gets back.
I've got people outside night and day,
and I'll have somebody in the house until we can clear this up.
Look. I'm not crazy, okay? I'm not crazy.
I wouldn't have phoned unless I thought it was real.
No one's saying you did anything wrong.
Look. We know what we ask of the families of the people who work for us.
Whichever way it is, we are giving this a thousand percent, Carole.
You're family.
Mm, yeah. That's what I'm talking about.
Oh. Caught me drinking in the net loft. I surrender.
Hey, you're, um...
They told me you, uh... you went back.
No, no. My sister-in-law, she had to go to work, you know.
She took car. Your captain, he...he didn't tell me everything.
- He forgot something, right? - No, I don't think so.
I mean, I, uh... I don't know. You know... I wouldn't...
What else? What else I need to know?
Whoa! Whoa!
Please, please, please, please.
- I saw a body, okay? I saw a body. - Uh-huh.
Before all the others washed ashore, it snagged. Woman?
No. Wayne and Clyde wrapped it in chains and threw it in the ocean.
I had nothing to do with it. I was in the galley.
Okay? Please, man.
Wait. No, no, no, no, no, no.
No, wait, wait. Please. Please. No, don't. Shh.
- Please, please, please. - What else?
Nothing, man. Nothing. I saw the body, man, and that was it.
I saw... I saw a body. Okay?
I saw the body.
There was a hole... right here...
in his head.
Someone had shot him before he went overboard.
Agent Simon will stay with you.
You gonna be all right? Yeah.
If there's anything else I can do for you...
You can believe me. I believe that you're worried.
I believe that you'd feel a lot better if there was a way that we could contact Mike,
but it's an operational matter. Okay.
Thank you. Do you have a few minutes for Tyler? Say hi?
Sure. I'll see you. Thank you.
Good night.
Five minutes after she knew there was a threat, we should have been outta here. What's going on?
She doesn't think there is any. Two years ago, when Mike was threatened,
we were in a moving truck the same afternoon, Brent.
- There's no credible evidence. - I saw the car.
Brent... What about this alarm company?
Did you check these guys out yourself?
- They're legitimate, yeah. - What's going on? What is this?
Uh, look. I want you to meet me at the gas station opposite the park.
Do you mind if I make coffee? No, go ahead.
Want some? No.
What will you do with your share?
Don't worry about me, pal. I've got plans.
You think you can hide from the people who will be looking for you?
Your old friends.
Comrades. I've had the best training in the world.
They taught me how to think like you bad guys think.
So I'll do okay.
But you have family, no?
So if you'll just fill it up, I'll go in and pay.
That firm is a cover of one of our black bag teams.
You're being bugged and followed by the agency.
- Why? - Because she wants to do a 24-hour-a-day surveillance on you.
Your calls logged and listened to. Your movements tracked. Is there anything you've forgotten to tell me?
No, no. What are you talking about?
Okay, gotta get moving.
How much further? Two days, tops.
Keep hauling ass.
What if she knows something she's afraid to share with you, because whatever it is,
she thinks you might be involved too? Involved in what?
There's something about Mike's disappearance she doesn't want to tell you.
- You okay? - Yeah, I'm okay.
My card.
You gonna pay first?
Seventeen, I copy. Stand by.
Yeah. Hello.
Sorry. Who... I think you'd better speak to the police.
You said I was family, right?
So what's this?
- We're trying to protect you. - By lying to me?
By making me think there's a contract out on my husband? On me and my son? What?
- Don't jump to conclusions. - What was I supposed to think?
You told me you checked out the alarm company. You are the alarm company.
Please, Carole. You know what? I didn't want to upset you. I did what I had to do to protect you.
From what? What is this?
Just tell me what the hell is going on.
Something happened to Mike.
Something that we're still trying to understand.
All we know is he's disappeared.
Yeah, uh, I'm having a little problem with one of my customers.
I don't have the resale permit number of his business.
Right. I-It's a bar in the international district.
Ronny Cho. Right.
All I need is the resale permit number of his sales tax and his liquor license.
I don't know if he's a partnership, corporation or a "doing business as."
Ambush? It looked like an ambush. The jeep was shot up when they found it.
Then maybe he's out there. Maybe he's hurt.
If anything would have happened to him, we would have found him. Believe me.
Oh, my God. What do they want?
We don't know anything yet.
Do you know who they are? We're trying to figure it all out.
I don't understand. Why didn't you tell me this right away?
I don't understand why you'd have me bugged. Why have me followed?
We needed to keep you safe. That's all it was. That's it.
No.
It only makes sense if you don't trust me.
Or you don't trust Mike.
There's still something you're not telling me.
Please.
Someone was in the jeep with him. Someone he had no business being with.
You can handle something this big, right? You are going to have to trust me.
Like I have to trust you.
We can't put this much on the market at one time.
You know you gotta spread the shipments out. I'll take care of it.
Oh.
The thing to do is to ship half to Europe and half to the States.
That makes sense. That's what I would do.
It's not your problem, is it? This is my problem.
This is why you need me.
So, which, uh, U.S. ports would you use?
The West Coast? The East Coast? Don't worry about it.
'Cause I know which ones are secure and which one of them have faulty procedure. Understand?
Won't be necessary.
Well, you need the stuff that I know.
All I need from you is where the heroin is.
That's why I said yes to you.
American. Shoo.
Shoo.
He works with drug dealers... bad people, dangerous people.
He went to too much trouble to recruit this one.
You want him, you go through me.
He used fake documents to smuggle him out of the hospital.
He kept everybody out of the loop and all the people that he works with, including his partner.
Carole, look. Nobody in this organization wants to believe any of this,
but he has given us no choice.
He's given his life to this job. This is crazy. You find him!
That's what we're trying to do.
And when we do find him, I hope he'll have a good explanation.
And not just for our sake.
Ronny Cho, trading as Cho Enterprises.
Can I confirm the corporate address is his home address?
Right. Oh, great. Uh, hold on, hold on.
Uh, here you go. Right.
Hey, great. Hey, thanks.
No, she'll be all right.
Hello. You knew, didn't you?
When you came to the house, you already knew he was missing.
Look. Come on, Carole. You know they ordered me to do it that way.
What were you looking for, Brent? Packed bags? Airline tickets?
Carole, I know you're not involved. Come on. Involved in what?
You think Mike's working with this dealer?
No, I don't. But, Carole, I know you're not involved, all right?
Involved in what? Why, are you telling them that, the people you work with?
- Because frankly they don't seem to share your rock-solid conviction. - Yes, I'm telling them that.
I'm sticking my neck out by talking to you right now. Look, Carole, you gotta...
You gotta trust me. All right? No matter what's going on, I'm still here for you and Tyler.
No. You're not here for us. You're with them.
These are your people up here, right? It's your clan?
Yes.
Tell your guys to keep their eyes open anyway.
Families tend to fall apart, right?
Especially up here.
You have another way to go? Well, no.
The sooner we get back there, the better.
Less likely anybody else will stumble upon it.
Uh, 29 Fairfield View.
The mortgage holder's name is Ronny Cho.
I need a title search and details on how he financed his purchase.
Yeah, and his credit card files.
Can you call me back on this number?
Great. Thanks.
Get out! Okay! Hey, hey, hey! All right!
This is what happens when you try to help people,
when you go out of your way for them,
they keep wanting more and more.
We went to people you sent us to, and they didn't tell us anything, not really.
On the way back, someone killed my sister-in-law.
No, she had an accident.
No accident! No accident! She drives the car off the road?
What? She was upset.
She fell asleep. She fell asleep at the wheel.
In my car, which I have to write off because I'm trying to help you.
What happened on that ship? Nobody knows.
Nobody's ever going to know.
You sent me there. Did you mean for me not to come back?
Listen to me.
We are little people, you and me. Decent people.
Family men.
We only want what's best for the people we love.
There are people involved in this,
very dangerous people, who have a lot of money at stake.
Don't call me again. Don't come to see me.
Forget you ever worked for me, or what happened to your family will happen to you.
Do you understand?
You've been busy.
Hmm? You've got time to run your own business, and you stick your nose into mine.
What are you, some kind of stalker? What is this?
We're in business together, which means I have to do my due diligence, right?
So, you go ask around about my business.
You check out my financial records.
You wanna find out where I live.
- I wanna work with you. - You wanna work with me?
I use you for your containers.
And that's where it ends.
You wanna bring a container to my warehouse every day of the week, that's fine.
I don't need to know what's inside. What worries me is if you go down...
because you don't have a financial firewall, I go down too.
Yeah, I had somebody check your mortgage file.
I have your credit card history for the past month. I know where you gassed up your car,
where you ate, where you were when you used them.
How much will that kind of information be worth? N-Not just to the feds.
- To anybody who wanted you out of the way.
Why don't you tell me?
Your biggest danger isn't the F.B.I.
It's the numbers that'll kill you. Y-You need a guy like me.
Not hiring.
Y-You're about to get audited for sales tax violations.
You have a building and safety permit that's out of date.
You have a health inspection coming up,
and they will pull your license to operate if any violations are found.
It took me half a day to find that out sitting behind my desk.
Hey, if the cops wanna take you down, they'll do what I do.
They'll start with the bar.
They'll work their way through every detail of your finances.
You're too visible. It's bad for the business.
You give me a week, I'll have the bar in somebody else's name.
We'll do the same with the house,
lease it back to a corporation that cannot be traced back to you.
Those are just the first steps.
I can make you disappear.
You know what you're getting into, right?
Yeah.
I'm tired of flying coach.
That was great, Mom. No, I mean it. Thank you so much.
Look. I'm sorry. You embarrassed me in front of the first person I met here.
It was really great. Tyler, it was a mistake.
Do you think I want anybody to know that my dad's a fed?
Hey, knock it off, Tyler. Come on. It was a mistake.
You know, I really hope everyone in my new school knows this. You know what I'm gonna do?
I'm gonna get "snitch" tattooed on my forehead. Hey, don't use that word.
Do not use it! Mom, they broke into my room!
Okay, Tyler, I'm sorry. I thought you were in trouble. I messed up. I'm sorry.
God. Tyler, come on. I hate this.
I hate our lives. I hate what Dad does. I hate what it does to you.
I hate this family. I can't even have a friend over here. I can't even do anything.
Tyler!
Hey. Hey.
I'm sorry I called you an asshole.
Even if you are one.
What else?
So, what's the matter? You got another girl in here or something?
No. You're not gonna let me in?
I... Do you want something to drink? Sure.
Eat? Yeah.
Oh, no, no, no bubbles.
I hate bubbles. And they splash the joint. No bubbles.
Okay. Yeah.
What are you waiting for? It's a beautiful bath.
Yeah, I guess so, right? Come on in.
No. No thanks.
Ooh, what would Mom say?
No, I just don't, that's all.
So, what do you do when you want to get stoned?
If you wanna do it, that's cool. I just... I don't need it.
It's people who say that that need it the most.
Really. Yeah.
So, where'd you move from?
Uh, California.
Before that it was Baltimore, Utah,
and I was... I was born in, uh, Philadelphia.
Did you have a girlfriend in any of these places?
Yeah, I was... I was seeing somebody.
But, you know, when you're... you're moving around so much, it's hard.
When my parents split, I didn't want anybody to know either.
No, no. That's... That...
It's okay if that's what's going on.
No, no. It's just my dad. He's away a lot.
You think he's fooling around?
All men fool around.
They're all bastards. Total jerks. Yeah?
Oh, yeah. Am I... Am I one of them too?
I don't know. Would you be faithful to your wife?
- Yes? - Hello.
Uh, my name is Adam. My... My sister-in-law, she... she worked for you.
Yeah, she's not here right now.
I know. Uh...
Please, I-I need to talk to you.
These are our bank statements going back five years.
Our tax returns, our loan documents, everything.
We have $30,000 saved.
Aside from that, we own a car and a mortgage.
He's been with you 15 years, okay? He's received three commendations. He's been shot at.
We've moved twice because of death threats. Twice.
He goes wherever you ask him.
He's around enormous amounts of money all the time and no one's ever accused Mike of taking a dime for himself.
Not once. Come on. This is crazy. This just doesn't make any sense.
Why would he throw everything away now, at this stage of his career?
I understand how the pressures of this job could change someone's priorities.
Look. I know my husband, okay? I know Mike.
I'm telling you, if he did this... if he staged his disappearance... he did it for a reason.
Well, it's not one that we're aware of. You see, that's the problem.
Isler. Yeah.
Well, just bring him in. Yeah.
Oh, my God.
Hit and run? Have they found the other driver?
It's not as simple as that.
I paid for my wife and daughter to come to this country.
Illegally.
The ship they were on, it sank before they could get here.
So Zula came with me to... find out why,
ask, "Wh-What happened? C-Could anyone have survived?
Is it possible?"
Accidents happen. Ships do go down. It's...
It's not why... - No. This ship didn't just go down.
Something terrible happened before the ship sank.
I-I just know people were shot.
I don't understand. What do you want from us?
I just need to know what happened.
Why. I need to know what happened to them.
I need to know that somebody will do something.
You're talking about murder here. Mass murder.
And illegal alien smuggling and God knows what else.
And God knows how dangerous these people are.
We have three daughters of our own, and...
Please. Please, look. Look.
We... We love this country.
We dreamed of this country.
I work for it. I will die for this country.
I will fight for it. Whatever you want me to do.
We wanna help you. We loved Zula.
And... And we wanna help you, but... Honey. Honey.
I, um...
We're sorry as hell what happened to Zula and your family,
but we're not in a position to help you right now.
Honey. Honey, please.
We're not in any position to help you right now.
And I think you should probably leave.
Please.
- I thought you said these were your people. - They are bandits.
They want the guns.
Hey.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
I didn't think you wanted to see me again.
I was scared.
I was hurt. Nothing was making any sense, you know.
But I wouldn't have known anything if you hadn't stuck your neck out.
Wish I could do more.
I know you have loyalties. I know there's only so much you can say.
Just give me something I can hang on to. Anything.
Hey, do you wanna do something? Do you wanna get something to eat?
I'm not really all that hungry. Uh, but check it out.
I gotta see somebody. You wanna come?
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah?
It's just downtown. No problem. Okay.
Let's do it.
They're turning over every file Mike's ever handled,
- every contact he's had. - God.
Carole, you've gotta try and remember that phone conversation.
Did he say anything at all about the case he was working on? No.
God, no. We've gone over this conversation a million times.
There's nothing, Brent. Stray remark? Anything?
No. What? Why? What is this? What are you not telling me?
Remember when Mike was in Afghanistan the last time in the '80s?
Yeah. Did you know he was working with the C.I.A...
to destabilize the Soviet-backed regime in Kabul?
Well, that's what we were doing.
Back then, we didn't look too closely at how some of the anti-Soviet resistance...
obtained their weapons or financing.
If some of those guys were selling heroin to buy weapons,
well, you know, we looked the other way.
But then, that was during the last great...
balls-to-the-wall struggle of the Cold War, right?
L-shaped ambush. Watch the guys to the right.
Hyah!
Come on. You want the weapons? Here they come.
Totally cool.
Hey, where we going? Uh, it's a little surprise.
I don't think you're allowed to know that, actually.
I like surprises. Top secret information. Yee-haw! Ho, doggy!
Get along, little doggy.
Anyway, once again we found ourselves doing things we weren't supposed to talk about.
Then we wrapped it up in Afghanistan, left there and forgot all about it.
Till our star pupil bin Laden went to work.
I suppose they're thinking that it might be a possibility that...
Mike's picked up where he left off.
What do you mean?
So, cousin...
Okay, just finish your smoke, get your guys together. Let's get outta here.
Carole, we didn't just look the other way back then.
We helped some of those guys put deals together.
Sometimes we did worse than that.
Mike was one of the guys who, uh, put it all together.
That was his expertise.
Deeply covert, highly deniable black operations.
The kind where you get so close to the line, you don't even see it anymore. You know?
Things get a little fuzzy.
Start to forget... which side you're on.
Come on, buddy. Let's go.
You scared? No.
Not even a little tiny bit?
Not really.
Ow!
There you go!
Say something to me?
Cousin. Cousin!
Three days. We must rest.
We'll rest when we get there.
You can have your tea then.
You guys are mountain men, no?
You should be teaching me how to do this. This is nothing for you guys.
Enough!
Do you wanna wait here?
Come on. Let's go.
Just wait here, okay?
Hello?
Tyler?
Who was that?
Not important.
It's Mommy? What does she care?
She's too busy with her own problems, isn't she?
Anyway, there's more important things to attend to.
Fire in the hole!
Come on. Wise guys.
Believe me now, cousin?
When I see what we come here for.
- What's that? - The generator.
He will start it up.
Didn't I tell you?
Huh? Huh?
You have to really want this. Oh, I do.
These people that I work for,
they're no joke, all right?
Deliver on time, at a price, and that's it.
There's too much competition out there for you to matter.
You got the Colombians, Mexicans, Russians.
I can hack it. Good.
'Cause there's no mistakes in this business, man.
All right? You're useful or you're not.
Even me.
I want this. I've been waiting for this.
Here's to business then.
To business.
All right. How about a little signing bonus, huh?
Ladies, meet Ben.
Hi, Ben. Hello, ladies.
How are you? Good.
No. Let's all have a toast. Cheers.
Oh!
Why do you do this stuff?
'Cause I like it.
What do you like about it?
I like the whole thing. Makes me feel comfortable.
Yeah. Yeah.
I don't get it.
Well, that's because...
you only see this.
You don't see the other stuff.
Like what?
I'm watching these two kids shooting each other up.
He takes her head like this.
He's looking for this,
where she'll get the best high.
You inject into the vein,
it's dangerous... really, really dangerous.
She's putting her life in his hands.
If he's a half an inch off, he could kill her.
She takes his head and does the same for him.
It's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen.
What do you think the street value of all this stuff is?
How many zeros are we looking at here?
It is a lot of poppy, yes, but we still have to get it down there,
arrange transportation, protect it, get it to the market.
Well, that's the kind of problem everybody in this business should have.
American.
And why do I need you now, hmm?
Hmm?
