Please don't stitch me up. That's all I'm asking you.

Can't promise you that.

Aye, aye.

No, I thought she was with you.

Yeah. Yeah.

Oh, be careful, he's got a gun.

(car horn honks)

Again.

There was a body.

He was obviously dead.

He'd been shot.

-Where's the body? -I don't know.

-He must have got rid of it. -Who?

David Chen.

I followed him there,

and when I found him, he was standing over the body.

The victim. Who was he?

I'd seen him before, though. He-he stole my passport.

This was before he got shot?

No. I've told you... (groans)

(inhales) No.

In Hong Kong in my hotel room a few days ago.

Have you been drinking?

Drinking? No.

(sighs)

So, you say this David Chen

-is the man who kills this man. -David Chen. Yes, yes.

He kills this man who stole your passport.

-Yes. -On that boat.

I don't know.

-I think so. -You think so?

Did you see him shoot this man or not?

No, because when I got there,

he was already dead.

So you didn't see

anyone shoot anyone.

No, but the gun was lying right next to him.

And then he hits you with the gun?

No.

No, somebody hit me from behind.

I don't know who that was.

-So you're a witness? -A witness.

A witness, yes.

Exactly, I am a witness.

If you're a witness,

why didn't he kill you, too?

Why did he let you call police?

Why did he leave you there?

I...

Find David Chen.

Ask him.

Hey, do you think I'm making this up?

But you found me. What do you think,

I knocked myself unconscious?

What were you doing on Kai Huang's boat?

(speaking Cantonese)

Very famous.

(car horns honking)

-(exhales) -Morning.

I have some emergency travel papers for Mr. Mulray.

I'm taking him back to Hong Kong.

Jesus, what happened?

I'm not supposed to deliver these in person.

I'm doing this as a favor for you. Understood?

-Understood. Thank you. -We'd like to hang on

to Mr. Mulray until we've had a chance

to make further inquiries.

The police deleted her voice mail.
