Nadine, take the camera and you'll
get photographs of him, Gautier,

and the rest of them.

Nadine?

I drew a map of the apartment.

Most important - the safe - with all
the money and passports.

She went back there? Herman!

Your family, your home, you can
never go back.

You have been away too long
and seen too much.

You're Monique? I'm Suda.

They're going to raid Gautier's
this afternoon.

Let's call Nadine and get her out.

PHONE RINGS

Hello.

Nadine, the police are coming.

When? This afternoon.

Er... Nadine, did you hear what
I said?

Er, yes, Angela.

That's very kind of you but...

..I don't think I can make it
tonight.

Nadine?

Another time.

Goodbye.

What is it?

She just hung up.

I think he was with her.

RINGING TONE
Knippenberg!

I got your message.
What the hell's going on?

Janthasin has agreed to send police
into Kanit House,

but under the pretext
of a narcotics raid,

so Gautier won't suspect Nadine.

You did it! Yes, Paul, but listen,
we were on the phone to her

and I believe Gautier overheard.

But you said the cops are going in.

In two hours.

I'm trying to get through
to Janthasin,

to get him to move right away.
Christ, Herman.

We didn't think she'd get
trapped there.

Paul, listen, I need you to go there
right away.

All right. Just until the police
arrive.

All right, my friend.

Finally, we do it my way.

Paul, as soon as I've squared things
with Janthasin,

I'll be right behind you.

I found her in here yesterday,

snooping around.

Then she and Remi left as soon as
it got dark,

and then she comes back this morning
alone.

You know how close she
and Dominique were.

I know, Ajay. I see those things.

MUFFLED CONVERSATION

Mai Tais!

This one's for you. Thank you.

But, er, it's a bit early for me.

They're good, Nadine.

And Ajay went to the trouble.

Yes, Nadine, I went to the trouble.

Drink.

You should try.

To friends.

PHONE RINGS

Hello? Angela, she still won't pick
up the damn phone.

Oh, Remi's here.

He's going out of his mind.

Well, he's not the only one.

But what are you going to do?

Major General Janthasin!

I have to go.

Major General, thank you.

Knippenberg, a man in your position
ought to understand -

limited resources stretched to
breaking.

I cannot spare the men yet.

Major General, with all respect,
I do.

But a woman's life is in danger.

Please, you have to act now.

Again.

You sure, man?

Whoa! Shit, brother.

See, everything is in the mind.

Yeah... Yeah, whatever you say, man.

That's strong magic.

Alain, no.

She does not want to.

And do not force her.

Hey, Monique.

We should go.

Where are you going?

Monique has a new dress being made
she wants to try on,

and I want Ajay to collect
something for me.

Come on!

Nadine?

Join us, Paul?

No, thanks.

I can't stand this heat.

Mr Knippenberg!

Mr Knippenberg!

Yotin, get in the car. Wait!

Lawana, I cannot wait. I need to get
to Kanit House now.

Telephone. Mr Siemons. Very urgent.

She said what?
Don't make me say it again.

Is she out of her damn mind?

No, Herman, she's terrified.

And she still wants us to wait.

Besides, you want them all,
don't you?

All right, Paul. I'll do it.

Get me Janthasin on the phone now.

Knippenberg, you'll forgive
my confusion.

First, you want my men to go in
as soon as possible,

and now you want them to wait?

Major General, I will explain
everything in due course.

Only, look, I'm begging you.

You have to make them wait.

Please.

SHOUTING

DOG WHIMPERS

TANNOY: Flight NL652 from Hong Kong
has now landed.

Dominique, where the fuck are you?

Dominique? Alain.

All Dominique's things are gone.

Did he take anything from the safe?

Only his passport.

But it'll be of no use to him.

It has your photograph in it.

Unless he changed it.

Dominique, no.

He wouldn't know how.

Perhaps he had help.

Nadine?

Mm-hm.

Should we leave now?

Get out?

No, nothing changes.

I wonder if his parents still write
to him.

We are worried about a friend.

Can we check if he has collected
his mail?

Dominique Renelleau.

Good news?

Heard anything from Dominique?

No. Why would I?

It's only we, er, just got back

and he's clearly been gone
for quite some time.

We're getting worried.

Did you see him?

No.

NADINE LAUGHS

Remi!

I told him I'd call him
but I completely forgot.

Bye-bye.

Did I not call you, Miss Suda,

every week I was gone?

And each time you said you would be
home the following week.

It was three months.

I didn't stay away from you for so
long because I was enjoying myself.

I was working.

These are both for you.

Choose.

How much is this?

I want you to spend it all.

I trust you.

This is it, Suda -

the moment we've been waiting for
that will set us up forever.

Now, I want you to ask for the
largest single consignment

we've ever ordered.

Rubies. Sapphires.

We want only the very best.

So much money could raise suspicion.

And from Bangkok, you could never
sell it.

From Bangkok, yes. But not from
Paris.

So you're leaving again?

But I will return.

Open the box.

Um...

Try it on.

Here.

B-But my father should be here.

I don't want to marry your father.

Yes, I'm going to Paris.

But only for a very short time.

Because my home and my heart is...

..where I want my love to live.

And all our little babies.

That will be here, in Bangkok,

with you.

You guys, congratulations.

Oh, cherie, I hate to ask it,

but if I don't take back Frankie
to Monique,

my world will end.

And will you take care of this
for me?

Don't you need it?

Not for a few days.

It's a small thing,
but important to me.

I'll see you.

See you.

ENGINE STARTS

So, what are you going to do
with Monique, then?

That's not for you to worry about.

You and I will move backwards
and forwards as we please.

Gems in Bangkok, money in Paris.

More gems, more money.

More than you could ever spend.

Thank you.

I think it is time we went home.

Oh, no, not now.
PHONE RINGS

Not before I taste this Armagnac.

You spotted it earlier? Paul?

Oh, yeah. Excuse me!

Oh, the police are calling.

The police? What?

Yes, Knippenberg.

What?

Nobody denies it is Mr Gautier's
apartment.

But there was no Mr Gautier there.

Captain Chupong, if I may,

so I know that we are talking
about the same person...

..this man.

You didn't find this man
at the apartments?

He is an American citizen.

David Gore.

As you see.

Jesus Christ.

Captain, I'm not sure you...

This man is Alain Gautier.

This man's name is Mr Gore.

And like his two friends,
he's a foreign tourist

staying at Mr Gautier's residence
in his absence.

I've no basis to hold any of them.

Please, Captain...
he's just using Gore's name.

I follow evidence.

Maybe if I could speak with
Major General Janthasin...

The Major General has placed me
in charge of this investigation.

Me.

Then please understand,
the passport is a forgery.

Just look at the last few places
that Gore has been,

contact the police there
and you will see

that the real David Alan Gore has
been robbed, or worse.

Mr Knippenberg, where would you
suggest I begin that little hunt?

He's been to every country
on the planet.

Oh, shit.

This...

This man is Alain Gautier.

And this is what he does.

He robs, kills,
he changes his identity

in the same way that you and I
would change our underwear.

Have you checked the contents
of his safe?

It's where he keeps the passports
of his victims.

We do not know what is in the safe.

We cannot open it without the
presence of its owner,

Mr Gautier.

Paul.

Er, I'd like to speak to
a policeman.

Paul, please. A real policeman.

Is there a real policeman
in this stinking squatpot?

PAUL! WHAT?

Get out. Let me handle this.

Sure.

That always works.

The hell with these conner!

My apologies, Captain Chupong.

Thank you.

How long will you hold them for?

Their release papers are already
being prepared.

No, please.

Look, the Major General himself

ordered the arrest
of these suspects.

For you to release them barely
within two hours

would reflect poorly on his
judgment, don't you think?

Captain, you are an ambitious man.

And I admire that.

So I ask you, imagine if I am right.

Imagine Janthasin's embarrassment,

particularly when I describe to him
the conversation

that you and I are having now.

And the offer that I am making
to you,

to please hold them.

THUNDER RUMBLES

They're keeping him until 12 noon.

Noon?!

How the hell are you going to prove
he's Gautier by noon?

It's as long as I could force
Chupong to agree to.

We have to do something.
We?! I'm done.

No. No, I have an idea.

Yeah? You've also got an asshole you
can shove it up.

Paul, please, I...

We may not be able to prove that
he is Gautier by 12pm,

but we can prove that he's lying
about who he is.

David Alan Gore's passport has been
tampered with,

the Americans will see that.

And when they do, he won't be
walking out of here.

Don't you get it yet?

Nadine said Gautier knew people in
the police -

a Colonel, for Christ's sake.

I don't give a shit how many
Colonels...

You stamped your righteous
little clogs

at dealing with Gautier my way,

and for God only knows what reasons
I rolled over like a milkmaid.

And now they're going to
let him go.

Listen to me, please. Please.

You don't get a gold star,

you get top of the bill as Bangkok's
latest clown show.

SHOUTS: Paul, will you fucking
listen to me?!

I'll go to the Americans,

get them to find the real
David Gore.

You're going to need a car.

HERMAN SIGHS

FOOTSTEPS APPROACH

Alain?

Shh.

Hmm?

Hmm?

Oh, Jesus, Knippenberg.

You sure know how to make a man
lose his appetite.

Yeah, yeah, look.

I didn't know who else to call.

You're my only contact at the
US embassy.

Yeah, well, good,

because anybody else would think
you'd lost your goddamn mind, but...

..this little situation of yours...

..I got a weird little wonder that
maybe it's connected to

something that landed on my desk
and won't get the hell off of it.

The lot behind Soi nine. 30 minutes.

All right.

That's him.

This is Teresa Knowlton. Aged 21,
out of California.

Whereabouts unknown for five months,
and counting.

Well, she may be the American girl
that my witness mentioned, but...

..I haven't come across her.

I don't know if she ever met
Alain Gautier,

but I can tell you she's precisely
the sort of person he destroys...

..as is, I suspect, the American
whose passport he's currently using.

What gives, Knippenberg?

You're the last man in Bangkok
who I'd expect

to be running around playing
gumshoe,

unless of course it was
The Case Of The Missing Pencil.

You are missing an American.

We were missing two Dutch until
Herman found them.

Yes, all right, Angela.

They were set alight

while they were still in each
other's arms, Mr Redland.

And you think it's this man?

I don't think.

I know it is.

SHE SIGHS

If it's a fake,
it's a damn good one.

I want to talk to him.

You are to sit in on this.

He's in there.

Redland, wait. Wait.

Look, I think you should do it
alone.

Knippenberg. No, no, no.

Listen, my ambassador would
never allow this.

I think it's best I stay in the
shadows.

If he ever finds a connection
between me and Nadine...

..plus, I'm no interrogator.

What the hell am I - Columbo?

It's a hell of a mix-up, huh?

Let's hope they catch up with
the real Gautier,

put this thing to bed, right?

Oh, I find it hard to believe he's
done anything wrong, either.

Well, you met him. He didn't strike
you as, you know, a drug dealer?

Like I said to the Captain
out there,

he seemed to me a fine man.

Generous, charming.

We should all hope to be such
a man of the world.

From Iowa, huh?

Yes.

It's just, your accent doesn't
exactly sound Mid-Western.

I spent a lot of time with
my grandparents in Puerto Rico.

Well, er, before I head back
to the embassy,

maybe you could help on something?

We've had a missing person report.

A young woman, over here on
vacation,

name of Teresa...

Teresa Knowlton.

You haven't crossed paths by any
chance?

I thought maybe Americans far from
home might find each other.

I'm afraid not.

DOOR CLANGS

He's lying, isn't he?

I don't know.

Redland.

Hey, at least I went in the
goddamn room, OK?

Try the woman.

Why don't you try her?

Fine, OK.

ID an American?

The American embassy?

Yes, ma'am.

You see your friend
in the next cell, Mr Gore?

Well, he's entitled to consular
advice during this little mix-up.

But while I'm here, I wanted to
ask about a missing person.

You see, we're a little worried.

Teresa.

As her grandmother tells it,
she'd been through

the wringer in California,

came east to join a monastery,
of all things.

But in five months, nobody's heard
a whisper from her.

And I can't tell a weeping old lady
where her beloved grand-daughter is

because all I know is she never made
it to any monastery.

You are going to get burned.

Your fingers.

I've never seen her before
in my life.

Something here isn't right.

I know, we have to make Chupong
hold them.

We don't have the authority.

And even if we did, we don't have
the grounds.

Not until I get this checked out.

Well, we have until midday.

I'll do what I can.

PHONE RINGS

Cherie. Alain, what happened?

Are you...? Shh.

It's just a misunderstanding.

I'm told there is a Dutch diplomat
spreading insane rumours about me.

But, Suda, I need to ask you
something.

What is it?

Do you still have my briefcase?

Yes, it's here with me.

Brilliant. I think someone here has
taken pity on me.

You will see me before you know it.

Alain? Alain?

Redland on one.

Thank you.

Knippenberg.

I'm heading to Central Division
to take Gautier.

I put out a wire to every US embassy
on the continent,

and guess what?

Mr David Alan Gore was drugged
and robbed in Hong Kong.

He's alive, thank Christ,

and gave a full description of his
assailants to the embassy there.

You did good, Herman.

You did real good.

HERMAN SIGHS

Redland has found the real
David Alan Gore.

It's everything we need.

You two can go home.

Thank you so much, Herman.

UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYS

I thought you'd be more jubilant.

I...

I am.

I can't stop thinking about Gautier
in that interview room,

and, er... Why you didn't go in?

Oh, I mean, I had to be respectful
of protocol,

and Van Dongen would never have
permitted me to.

You think I was afraid?

No.

Not that.

I think you...

What?

I think a part of you wanted very
much to go in there.

To see the man that you have been
hunting -

the man capable of such darkness.

But there is another part of you,
a braver part...

..which refused to allow his
darkness to touch you any further.

I wasn't afraid.

Hello? Knippenberg, it's Redland.

You're not going to believe this.
Redland?

They've gone. Someone just left the
doors open, and they walked out.

SHOUTING

What I find hard to understand,
Major General,

is what Chupong here is calling
an administrative error.

I will discover who was responsible.

Wait, the safe.

We still have the safe,

where he keep all the documentation
that he robs from people.

You have it?

We have it, but we cannot legally
open it

without the permission of its owner.

We do have the safe, and we will
open it now.
