How much it costs to buy another girl in
Bangkok?

One selfie?

Mr. Tanner, I'll do anything.

Jimmy Tanner was a thug then, and he's a
bigger thug now. Jimmy said that we're

going to have to turn a blind eye to his
business. Plugs, they have power. The

power to control people.

No man will ever want to touch you
again.

We are talking about a vicious little
animal, and the company is letting it

loose. Help me bring him down.

Get out of here! Run!

Come on.

You're making fun of me now

It was my mother's.

I think she always wanted a daughter to
give it to, but she got me.

I can't wear this.

Yes, you can.

No.

Narong, how can you give something like
that to a woman who... Who I love?

And whose family sold her to Jimmy
Tonarat so they wouldn't starve?

And who means more to me than anything
in the world.

I have such a hard time believing that
anyone can care.

Doing what I do.

Doing what you do doesn't mean anything.

This done.

Please.

Wear it.

It'd make my mother happy.

It makes me happy.

Malika.

Save that for the paying customers.

I'm sorry, Mr. Tanarat. Naron was
just... Just what?

Leaving?

Mr. Tanarat, you told me that if I
fought for you for two years, you would

release Malika from her contract.

But you've only fought a year.

But if you let Malika go, I promise I'll
keep fighting for you for as long as

you like. Naron, when I bought your
contract, you were the best. You moved

a cat. But now, you can barely stand.

Look at you. If he's a shot, your hands
are gone.

You move like an old woman.

You're not even good enough for training
matches anymore.

Then I want to buy Malika's contract.

You know how much it cost me to buy
another girl in Bangkok?

One so pretty?

$50 ,000.

Have you got $50 ,000?

I'll do anything.

Anything.

Malika, go back to work.

Now, Malika.

Perhaps you can do something.

Perhaps you can.

Now, suppose you tell me about it.

About what?

Oh, come on.

Whatever it is you want to talk about.

You know perfectly well you only ever
come to eat at my place.

When you have something on your mind so
uncomfortable that you can't come

straight out with it. But I'm wounded.
You are so cynical.

So what is it? Some little job that's
too touchy for your usual gang of

Do you know what the day is?

No, what?

Really, don't you know what today is?
This is the 16th.

This is your natal day, Robert.

What?

Happy birthday, old son.

Oh, God, I totally forgot.

Well,

don't forget to open it, all right?

No, no. A friend of mine was in Dar es
Salaam last month.

I know how fond you are of African art,
so I told him to keep an eye out for

something special.

That is beautiful.

Thank you. Thank you so much.

Gang of misfits?

Yes.

What is this? We're not expecting a...
Not ours. I'm storing it for a

few hours. If it's not ours, whose is
it?

It belongs to Mr. Panarat.

Jimmy Panarat?

I'm doing it as a favor. It's nothing to
worry about.

What do you mean, nothing to worry
about? If it belongs to Jimmy Panarat,

worried!

Hey!

What's happening?

What are you wrong?

Not today, Black.

Man, check it out. I got diamond rings.

I got Swiss watches.

How about a gold chain?

Black, I'm not in the market today.

Roll it.

$25. Look at the craftsmanship.

The style.

Bye, Black.

Father?

I have some deliveries to make.

What have you done?

What are you doing?

It's none of our business. You don't
think I know what that is? You think I'm

fool? You don't understand.

I do understand. It's you who don't
understand.

I don't have any choice. I made a deal.

Jimmy Tonarat Shipman's come here for
one year, and then he releases Malika

her contract.

A deal?

This is harrowing. I don't care what it
is.

This is the Spirit House. If you don't
have respect for me, you must have

respect for this. This is the home of
our ancestors.

Spirit, I don't believe in your spirit.

Don't you understand?

The old ways mean nothing here. This is
America.

For me, I believe in myself and Malika,
and that's the only thing that matters.

You sold your soul for a whore!

Jimmy Tonarat's skull soldiers are
coming here tonight to pick it up.

Now don't touch it, do you understand?

I got delivery.

Watch the door, please.

And don't touch it!

You know, every time, every time I think
of elephants, I think of old Jack

Murphy and his famous Angolan initiation
rite.

I mean, what the hell were we drinking
that night? Do you remember?

I remember.

Oh,

this is some kind of African hooch, but
after three builds, you were officially

riding the elephant, right?

And then after that, you were supposed
to be able to survive anything.

Yes, indeed.

Yeah.

Poor old Jack. He didn't survive
anything, though, did he?

He didn't even get out of Angola.

Lost a lot of good men.

Since those days, I'm more than likely
to remember.

I remember.

I remember every one of them.

Some were friends of mine, some... Some
I didn't know at all. And there were a

few I didn't like, but I remember them.

Robert, I wish you a happy birthday.

What the hell is wrong with you?

A father must take care of his own son,
even though he is a fool.

Father, this is not a game.

If I don't have that heroin back,
there's going to be serious trouble.

The ghost soldiers are coming here
tonight to pick it up.

Do you want us both to die?

Where is it?

It's gone.

Father, if I don't get that back, I'm
going to die.

It's where it belongs, in the garbage.

And every time it comes into this house,
that is where we'll put it.

Not here.

It's where faith is.

Are you crazy?

Who was out here? Did you see anybody?

Don't you understand what I'm saying?
The ghost will be here soon.

When they find out Tanner has heroin,
it's gone.

Where is it?

You have shamed me with what you have
done. You are not my son.

From this day forth, all my sons are
dead.

Father. Go! I don't want to see your
face again. You are not my son.

You have to get out of here.

When Tanarat finds out, it won't be safe
for you.

But try to use you to get to me.

Where can we go where Jimmy Tanarat
won't find us?

I don't know. We'll hide somewhere.

Tomorrow, I'll try to find the heroin.

What about your father?

He'll throw me out.

Malika!

Yes?

Come with me.

I'll be right there.

I can't leave right now. I would call
Jimmy Tannerad.

I'll meet you after I finish here.

Where?

The old Buddhist temple.

There's someone who's in serious
trouble.

I've heard about you.

I've heard you can help people.

An old man is in danger.

His name is Sir Edvanserai.

He's at a little grocery store at
Lincoln and Grand.

Some men are on their way there right
now.

Ghost soldiers.

If they find the old man there...

My name's Robert McCall.

You mentioned ghost soldiers.

Will you help my friends?

You said ghost soldiers. What did you
mean?

Answer me, Dad.

Who's your boy?

You won't find what you're looking for
here.

Yeah? I don't.

What are you looking for, huh?

It should be Tanra's terror and it's
gone.

Really?

I am not going back to Jimmy Tannerats
with empty hands.

You will talk before I am finished.

What

do

you know about Jimmy Tannerats,
Halloween, huh?

Tell me.

No. Then we will have to ask Narong,
won't we, old man?

Where is he?

Talk to me.

You think you are so brave to hold your
tongue?

Then maybe just cut your tongue out so
you can't speak anymore.

Oh, hey, I dropped the phone.

Tell your son.

Mr. Tannerat wants to tell him that.

And if he doesn't get it...

A criminal like Jimmy Tanneroth would be
in prison.

I'm endeavoring to make sure that the
same happens in this country, Mr.

Forgive me, but I don't understand. Why
are you helping me?

Well, for one reason, let's just say
that I, too, have a son.

In my life, I had four sons.

Three of them died in time.

My sons are all dead.

Norong is your son, Mr. Bansarai?

No. No longer.

All my sons are gone.

I know he was foolish.

But then, when we were young and in
love, weren't we foolish?

The woman he loved is a whore.

Mr. Bansarai, someone called me who was
very worried about you.

What was I supposed to do?

Ask a profession before I decided to
help?

I don't want to hurt him, Malika.

I just want to talk to him.

I don't know.

Really.

I can turn you into something so
repulsive that...

to touch you again.

Please.

I don't know where he is.

Annoying.

Come.

Mr. Tanner, to Loyola.

Keep her here.

I get you to drink?

Nothing until the water here isn't safe.

And who would say such a thing? Some of
your former customers are drowned.

Let's get to the point.

Information that was promised to us
seems to have found its way to our

competitor. Perhaps they were thirsty.

But you do remember that I asked about
the possibility of expanding my import

business. You mean your drug business?

Look, Tanner, at certain people in my
company have allowed you to run your

gambling, your sports book, this sleazy
operation. They have also allowed you to

import a limited quantity of your
merchandise.

Because you provide us with information,
but the operative word is limited.

You understand?

Limitation does not buy exclusivity.

Thus, I'm sure you understand the need
for greater compensation.

That is why you will make the right
decision.

Otherwise... Who knows what could happen
to future information you need?

I don't like threats.

I'm not threatening. I'm only
negotiating.

I'm sorry, I misunderstood.

Is that correct?

Whenever I leave, lock the door behind
me and please don't answer the

We do have an answering machine. And I'm
a call.

I guess your work is very dangerous and
many people get hurt.

We will do our best to look after
Narong, I promise you.

Mickey, please help yourself.

Ghost soldiers, huh?

Haven't heard those words in years.

If Jimmy Tyrod's such a good buddy of
yours... Just give me a call and tell

to call it. Jimmy Tannerat is not a good
buddy of mine.

Sorry?

I was partly responsible in establishing
Jimmy Tannerat's connection with the

company. I did it under protest, and I
was under orders.

Jimmy Tannerat was a thug in Bangkok
then, and he's a bigger thug in New York

now. Come to America, be a success, huh?

Where do we start?

We start with a lady called Malika.

At the Rose of Bangkok massage parlor.

He didn't like this assignment already.

the best.

Ties are so uncomfortable.

Hello, Malika.

How do you know my name?

Mr. Bansarai told me.

It's so much simpler for you to tell me
yourself on the telephone.

Was you who called, wasn't it?

Yes, I called.

What do you want?

What do I want?

You called me for my help, remember?

I just thought you'd like to know that
Mr. Bancorai is safe.

I'm glad.

Good, good.

Now I have to find Narong.

Apparently he's in some danger.

You're going to have to learn to trust
me, you know.

I can't.

I can't trust anyone.

Does that include Narong?

Narong is different.

He's kind.

He is. I can't help him if I don't know
where he is.

I don't know where he is.

I don't know anything.

Is it Tonarat?

No.

Please.

Just get out of here.

Please. All right.

All right.

Just remember, you know how to get in
touch with me.

Poundly disturbed young woman there. I
think we have Mr. Tanorat to thank for

that. I know exactly how to thank him.
Yeah, well, later comes later.

First thing we've got to do is to show
that girl that there are some people

around who can be trusted.

I think I'm going to stay on here for a
while.

Yeah, I'll see.

No, no, no.

No, you put your ear to the ground.

Four kilos of China white heroin.

Can't be too difficult to find, can it?

And when I find it?

Take it.

Malika!

Are you going somewhere?

Mr. Tenorak wants to see you.

No! Get out of here!

That's the guy that grabbed no wrong
from us.

He's good, Mr. Tanner.

Freeze.

Well, what do you know?

The Buddhists are right.

Life is a circle.

Robert McCall.

Well, first they're keeping the girl in
Tanner Ott's arena building, and she's

very well guarded. That's the easy part.

Now for the bad news.

Inside tip, McCall.

China White's gone. Never to return.

Inside tip?

Inside... Where? What? What are you
talking about?

The guy.

What guy?

From the company.

What the hell has the company got to do
with this?

The word is they're giving Tanner out a
free pass.

Free pass?

To sell drugs.

Wouldn't it be wonderful if that was a
lie?

It's bad enough you sleep with us, let
alone marry.

I love her.

What do you know about love? And what do
you know about love?

It's been 20 years since you've been
married.

You think I've forgotten, huh?

Sometimes I... I think I've forgotten,
too.

But when I see her...

Young couple holding hands.

A mother with a child.

I remember.

I don't remember my mother anymore.

She was a very strong -willed woman who
always knew what she wanted.

Very argumentative, always complaining.

But she had a good heart.

I think I have a good heart.

Yeah.

That is the most important thing in a
life.

I'm afraid I don't want to lose her.

The way you lost the woman you loved.

They're wrong.

Go brew me some tea.

Father, you want chrysanthemum or
oolong?

Father?

Father. All right, all right, all right.
I was behind it. I had 20 men scouring

the street. They found the drugs, they
destroyed them, and Jimmy Tamarat does

not know. Now, is there something wrong
with that? How strange.

You have suddenly developed a community
spirit.

No, no, highly commendable, very
laudable. However, you still haven't

my original question.

Is Jimmy Tamarat operating?

under company approval.

All right.

All right.

Jimmy came to us and he said that if we
wanted what he had to sell, then we were

going to have to turn a blind eye to his
import business. It's a sleazy little

deal for a good cause, all right? Yes,
yeah.

Yes, I mean, after all, what's hundreds
of tons of heroin, morphine, hashish,

tie sticks, huh? As you say, it's all in
a bloody good cause. I don't make the

rules, Robert, but sometimes I have to
play by them. What are you talking about

rules? This is not a game.

We are talking about a vicious little
animal who devours everything he

And the company is letting him run fast
and loose.

Control, how could you allow it?

Control, control. Boy, that is a joke
these days, Robert.

Let me tell you, old son, the boys
upstairs now, the ones on the top, are

of our age, and they are not going to
let Jimmy Tamarad go just because he

offends our morality.

Our morality?

All right, your morality, but maybe,
just maybe, I hate what Tamarad is doing

just as much as you do.

Well, then help me bring him down.

Now, don't push too hard, Robert.

You have to be willing to pull back when
necessary.

Tell me something.

How far does a man have to pull back
before he falls off the edge of the

world?

Why did you come here?

This is the most...

Valuable thing I own.

It's been in the family for six
generations.

Solid gold.

I offer it to you for Malika's freedom.

And I offer myself in her place.

Please take it.

You're really something, old man.

You're also a fool.

This isn't worth a thing to me.

But you, you're worth a lot.

Put him with a girl.

The gold

Buddha.

Gone.

I don't understand.

He's trying to buy back the girl.

Well, Tyra will kill him.

No, not yet.

First of all, he will want to try and
exchange him for the heroin.

Good luck.

Look, as long as Turner thinks we still
have the stuff, we have the edge on him.

But we've got to be careful and we've
got to be quick.

Robert McCall,

it's been a long time.

New York is a lifetime away from
Bangkok.

Jimmy, let's get right down to it.

I have something you want. I am willing
to sell it back to you for $300 ,000

cash.

I've always liked your directness,
McCall.

But the problem is, $300 ,000 is a lot
of money.

And frankly... Jimmy, I'm not going to
negotiate with you.

That's my price.

Pay it, or I'll throw the stuff into the
Hudson River.

You haven't changed a bit, have you,
McCall?

Okay, where do you want to meet?

Oh, your sports arena should do.

Couple of hours' time?

You sure you can trust me?

Oh, yes, Jimmy. Of course I can trust
you.

You know the way I operate.

If things go badly for me, they go badly
for everyone else.

I love doing business with
professionals.

We're on.

I want to go with you.

Forget it. You'd only get in the way.

No. Look, what's happened is my
responsibility.

I have to make things right or I can
never be my father's son again.

There's this Buddhist saying my father
likes.

A man defiles himself. A man purifies
himself.

but you will obey my instructions to the
letter.

for Mr.

Turner at inspection only.

Open the trunk.

Little bonus.

No extra cost.

Welcome home, Naro.

Look at it, Robert.

The world's governments don't understand
what drugs really are.

They think of them as international
currency.

But they're much more.

They are power.

The power to control people.

To make them happy.

To destroy them.

You know, one thing I've always liked
about you, Jimmy, you're a humanitarian.

It's called a shift in the balance of
power.

Mr. Batsarai, don't move, please.

I'm so sorry to have been wrong about
you.

Take good care of Veneron.

He's family now.

Father?

If a man has family, he never dies.

Carrie, I'll know her name.

Wisely, my son.

Looks like we survived another elephant
ride, doesn't it?

Is that why you came here? Make sure I
stayed on the back of the elephant?

I wanted to make sure you were all
right.

What about him?

I'm sorry about the old man.

Oh, yes, I can see how devastated you
are.

Come on, Robert. We both got what we
wanted. Tannerat is out. Case closed.

You used me to get Tannerat, didn't you?

You wanted him eliminated.

But you were worried about what your
superiors might say.

Would you rather have me on the outside
or on the inside?

How many other Tannerats are there?

How many other companies do you have?

Not even the best broom can only sweep
one corner at a time.

Which means there's a hell of a lot of
other dirt left lying around.

Call me Ethan.
