-Read! Read!
Mom, Dad, I love you.
I'm not gonna make it home
for the anniversary,
but I'll be there in spirit.
I promise.
Tell Joe I love him like family.
[terrorist]

Hi, handsome.
Want to have some fun?
You okay?
Soldier?
[Bruno] Listen.
[fizzing]
[Bruno] You are very beautiful.
But not today, okay?
-Are you sure?
-Yeah.
I'm sure.
Our idea, to harness the power
of DNA modification
against cancer,
is not just
a scientific endeavor.
It's a deeply personal mission
born from the loss
of my beloved wife, Sarah,
taken by this
devastating illness.
Her memory
and her courageous battle
serve as a catalyst
for this groundbreaking
initiative.
Something's wrong.
Follow me. It'll be fun.

[car door opening, closing]
[police radio chatter]
[uneasy music playing]
Yeah, that's him.
You should be ashamed
of yourself.
Especially after
what we just went through.
Getting sick and tired
of this bullshit, Bruno.
Having to bail your ass
out of jail every other weekend.
Hm? If it happens again,
I will leave you there.
[utensils clatter]
Maybe it'll be an improvement
on that shack you're in, yeah?
If I was you, I'd stop looking
at that photograph
of your brother
and try getting my head
out of my ass. Yeah?
Hey, maybe you could
find a girl.
You like girls?
Hm?
[spoon clinking, clatters]
Have a family. Become a man.
Yeah? Take a look at me, buddy.
Take a look around you.
What do you see?
Loneliness.
Because it is.
Stop wasting your fucking life.
We've been through this, too.
You've got to stop
torturing yourself.
It's not your fault, son.
You weren't there, man.
That's sir to you.
Yes, sir.
Look at me.
I said, look at me.
I'm not telling you
to forget about your brother.
Okay, that's not
what I'm saying.
But what I am saying
is to stop going on benders
in the Red Light District
because of it.
You don't get it, man.
Say that again.
Say it again
that I don't get it.
Because maybe
I can tell you a story about...
how your father died
in my fucking arms!
You want to hear it?
You think you're the only one
that's going
through this, right?
You selfish motherfucker!
Now you're bringing me into it!
You know, I'm going
to tell you something.
Life's about
getting kicked in the teeth
over and over, Bruno.
Yeah?
But it's about learning
how to take it!
Do me a favor.
Take the rest of the day off.
I mean it. Go home.
[foreboding music playing]
[gunshots]
[cell phone ringing]
-[inhales deeply]
-[cell phone ringing]
Finally, B. Uh, do you want
to get some drinks with me?
Because work is kicking
my ass and I could...
What's up with the gun?
Uh, this gun?
The one in your hand.
-Nothing. It's all good.
- Don't bullshit me.
I'm going to come over there.
We're going to go get
those drinks, all right?
No, no. It's okay.
I had a rough night.
Man, you went out
partying without me?
I should have called you.
I woke up in jail.
Well, that sounds
like one hell of a party.
Yeah.
A girl robbed and drugged me.
I mean, at least
tell me you got laid.
Yeah, almost.
Actually, I woke up in an alley
with a guy unzipping my pants.
Uh... Wow, man.
Do you know
what she drugged you with?
[scoffs] I don't know.
I don't remember much.
I do remember I kicked the shit
out of them, though.
You know,
the same thing happened
to one of my clients at Indra.
I'm going to look
into it for you.
Thanks, Fitch.
[thunder rumbles]
[thuds]
[foreboding music playing]
[coughing]
[cell phone ringing]
Hey, what's up?
So, I did a little
research for you,
and it wasn't a roofie.
You got slipped
a submission drug,
and they're
calling it "devil's breath."
Look, Fitch,
I'm in the middle of something.
I'll have to call you
later, okay?
[Fitch] I got you.
You have any family?
I can take you to a doctor.
It's okay.
Look, I made this for you.
Don't worry. You're safe here.
It's chicken broth.
It will help you feel better.
Here you have
some dry clothes, okay?
Get some rest.
-[light music playing]
-[indistinct conversations]
[coughs] Excuse me.
Look who the cat dragged in,
everyone. Welcome.
Got my shit together.
[Joe] It doesn't look like it.
What do you mean?
What do I mean?
I mean, you're late.
Not much, though.
No, Bruno, not much.
Just enough to be late.
A girl washed up at my house.
-She was unconscious.
-[coughs]
What did you say?
What? What was that?
Say that again.
Did CPR on her. She woke up.
Okay.
So, let me ask you, hero...
Where is she right now?
At my house, sleeping.
Mm.
She was not feeling good.
You know?
I'm sure she wasn't.
Are you out
of your fucking mind, brother?
I mean, really. Are you out
of your fucking mind?
-I saved her, man.
-You what?
I say, I saved her.
-You saved her?
-Yeah.
Oh, I'm sorry.
I didn't copy that.
You saved her. My bad.
Take her to the fucking
hospital, Bruno.
What are you...
Get away from me.
-She's not your business.
-Relax.
Get away from me.
Because... I fucking...
Get off! Stop it.
-You fucking-- [coughs]
-It's all good, man.
Relax, man. Come on.
No, I'll relax... [coughs]
...when you make it here
on time, okay?
That's not ready!
Hey, no, no, no.
I want you to rinse
the lettuce before you dice it.
[Joe] Please start again. No.
[uneasy music playing]
[clinking]
[foreboding music playing]
[Joe] I see six.
[Bruno] Copy that.
See you down there.
[gunfire]
[helicopter whirring, fades]
[soft footsteps approaching]
[gasps, grunts]
[somber music playing]
Thank you.
It's beautiful.
[Bruno] Yeah.
Where are you from?
I don't know.
I can still take you
to a doctor.
No.
I'm fine. I just need some time.
I'm Bruno, and you?
[Bruno] Don't worry.
Don't worry about it.
I'm gonna make some food
before I go, okay?
Thank you.
Anything you want to tell me?
Not really.
[utensils clanking]
You get rid of that girl yet?
You told me to find a girl
to have a family.
[chuckles]
Are you kidding me, Bruno?
Gotta get it posted
and stick it onto your forehead?
This girl is trouble.
You don't know
anything about her.
-You don't either.
-You don't know
what kind of trouble she's gonna
bring into your life.
You don't either.
How many people we have?
I think it was six, right?
-[Bruno] One, two...
-Wow, look who's working here.
Huh? [chuckles]
[Bruno] Here is good Joe, right?
At least you didn't
find her in a bar.
[pensive music playing]
I remember something.
What?
I escaped.
[woman panting]
Escaped?
From this.
There are fields
of these flowers.
But flowers?
Hm. Sounds nice.
No, it wasn't.
[beeping]
I'm glad
I'm not there right now.
I understand.
Do you?
[somber music playing]
I still don't know your name.
[gentle music playing]
Athena.
Thank you.
Okay, I'll take this one.
Khop , thank you.
Hi. [chuckles]
Oh, there he is. That's for you.
I gotta tell you,
we had a great day today, Bruno.
I'm very happy.
Oh, I can see that.
And what are you talking about?
I don't know, you tell me, man.
Well, if you're referring
to those two young ladies
over there
who were checking you out,
-yeah, I see them.
-No.
I'm talking about the one
with the straw hat
who looks like
she wants to eat sushi off you.
[laughs] Yeah, well,
I think she's trouble,
all right, Bruno?
Drop it, that's enough.
Joe, are you shy now?
Come on.
-Shy?
-Yeah.
-You're calling me shy?
-Yeah.
Bruno.
I owe you two days off, man.
I can cover for you.
Yeah, you do owe me
two days off, Bruno.
I appreciate that.
Khop , thank you.
That's everything for me,
just three tomatoes.
That's it, thank you, khop .
[chuckles]
She's sleeping in your room?
-I'm on the couch.
-You're on the couch?
Not for long.
Don't say I didn't warn you.
Okay, Bruno?
Don't say
I didn't warn you, pal.
Does Fitch know about this?
-Not yet.
-Not yet?
I don't know, maybe you should
have Fitch do a run on her,
just saying.
Khop , thank you.
I think I got digits.
[chuckles]
A number here, thank you.
Feels like a drug deal
gone wrong.
-Thank you, khop .
-Okay.
Khop , thank you.
[monks chanting]
[clinks]
[clinks]
I lost my brother
a few years ago.
This temple for me
is like a safe place.
Where I can remember him
and still find a way to heal.
I just look at him and breathe.
[serene music playing]
Did I do something wrong?
Can you do it again?
Better?
[calm music playing]
[boat engine whirring]
[breathing rhythmically]
Ooh, wait a minute.
I know you.
Come on, man.
What are you doing here
on your day off, Bruno?
Just want you to meet someone.
Wait a minute,
you didn't fucking...
Nice to meet you.
My name is Joe.
Joe?
My name is Athena.
Athena?
You're the one keeping him
in line, right?
In line?
You know, I gotta meet Fitch.
In about a half hour,
I'm meeting her at the market,
so how about you
and Athena join me?
Maybe we get her out
of your favorite sweatsuit
and get you some decent clothes.
-How's that sound?
-Yeah.
-[Bruno] Okay.
-Nice to meet you.
Don't be late.
[light music playing]
[light music continues playing]
[no audible dialogue]
[light music playing]
[Joe] No, no,
take this place, please.
-Table six.
-Bravo, okay, nice.
It's a good job. For you.
-Thank you.
-Okay, now this.
-You remember what this is?
-The fish.
It's a fish, and it's for what?
-For the soup.
-For the soup.
And the soup only.
-I got this.
-You got it? Bravo, huh?
Straw hat?
-What?
-The woman in the market?
-A woman?
-No, no, there's no woman, okay?
There's no woman.
And don't listen to him
because he doesn't know
what he's talking about.
You, focus on not fucking up.
I mean it.
Watch over him.
-Go.
-What happened?
[foreboding music playing]
Hey, Athena,
what's going on? Wait!
[foreboding music continues]
[panting]
What's going on, Athena?
-Tell me.
-I can't breathe.
Okay, calm down. It's okay.
I don't wanna go back.
I don't wanna go back.
-I don't wanna go back.
-What are you... Where? Where?
[coughs, breathes heavily]
Athena?
Hey.
[sobbing]
Athena.
Everything's gonna be okay.
I saw them. [breathing heavily]
-No one is coming, okay?
-I don't wanna go back.
[sobbing] I don't wanna go back.
You can trust me.
Everything is gonna be okay.
Calm down.
You can stay here.
I'm gonna go outside
and I'll be right back, okay?
Just stay here.

Hello, kitty, kitty.
I know you're in here.
[both grunting]
[knife clanks]
[foreboding music playing]
Stay away from her.
[grunting]
[foreboding music playing]
[tense music playing]
Fitch.
Fitch.
[Fitch] Bruno?
What are you doing?
You're bleeding.
I'm good, I'm fine,
it's all good.
I need your car.
Fitch.
Are you looking for these?
Bruno, where are we going?
[sighs]
-They took her.
-Who took her?
I told her to trust me,
and they fucking took her.
Bruno, who took her?
A group of men, one in charge.
Did she know any of them?
Yeah, she did.
What do we know?
I woke up.
There was a raft,
she was unconscious.
There were fields
of white flowers.
Flowers sound pretty nice.
It wasn't.
She was afraid.
She didn't wanna go back.
[keyboard keys clacking]
Take a look at this.
And this.
[Fitch] I am positive
that is what you
got drugged with at Indra.
They've been operating
in Asia for decades,
and now they use that drug
to rob people.
You think Athena
is connected to this?
Yes.
I mean, it's my best guess.
And I don't think
she was the only one.
About 20 years ago,
there was an unsolved case
involving five female tourists
that disappeared.
When the investigation
went cold,
all the bodies just started
popping up around the city.
I have to find her.
I know where to start.
Get dressed.
[foreboding music playing]
[upbeat music playing]
Get you anything to drink?
No, thank you.
Yes, two Singhas.
Ka.
Thank you.
[upbeat music playing]
Are you gonna drink that?
Hell no.
B, it's just a beer.
I go for the girl.
Hey, how are you?
Fuck off.
-How are you?
-Good.
-Where are your friends?
-Over there.
Hey, you.
Can I get you
something to drink?
Please.
You got it, girl.
May I have, uh, two of those?
You know what?
All right,
it'll be perfect right now.
It's getting hot.
Is this for me?
That is for you.
This one is for me.
-Cheers.
-To...
us.
Us, sounds good.
Oh, look at you,
you got something here.
[gasps] Bitch!
-[groans]
-[grunts]
-[smashes]
-[groans]
Take her home. Now. Go.
[man groaning]
Where did you get this?
Go fuck yourself.
You better not
be fucking with us.
I'm not gonna tell you anything.
You're not gonna tell me...
I'm not gonna tell you anything.
[groaning]
Okay, okay, there's a party,
there's a party.
[coughing]
This is fucking crazy.
What party?
Just a party,
I have no idea what party.
Just a party. I know the place.
I don't know names, okay?
No names.
I'll show you the place.

[groans]
[groans, gasps]
You got any idea
who you're fucking with?
Where's the girl?
Girl? I don't have idea of girl.
Who do you work for?
They will kill me.
I'll fucking kill you.
Ah! Wait, wait,
I gotta cut back.
[pants]
[gagging]
Fitch, water.
[gulps, breathes heavily]
[groans]
You fuck up the big time.
Where is she?
I don't know. [laughs]
What do you do to the girls
after you drug them?
Take your money,
your money, your money.
-What else?
-Depend if I horny.
Oh, yo. [laughs]
Who's in charge
of the white flower?
Krieger. [laughs]
[Bruno] Krieger.
-Waiting for me.
-Where?
Where? Well,
Phra Pradaeng District. [laughs]
Phra Pradaeng.
Phra Pradaeng District.
[muffled shouting]
[suspenseful music playing]
-Where are you going?
-[Fitch] Taking this to Krieger.
[grunting, groaning]
[groans]
This is the place.
Here.
-[phone buzzing]
-[Fitch] Joe is calling.
Don't answer.
Text him later.
[phone buzzing]
That's Krieger.
Wait.
Get in. GPS, get the fuck out.
Copy.
[foreboding music playing]
Multiple bogies with big guns.
Where the fuck is Nikolai?
[in Thai]
[in English]
He should be here by now.
Tag is in place.
Copy that.
Moving out.
-[thwacks]
-[groans]
-B, you copy?
-[trunk thuds]
-[thwacks]
-[groans]
[groans]
Who do you work for?
No one.
-[grunts]
-[Bruno groans]
[crunches]
Now, I'm gonna ask you
one more time.
Who do you work for?
I already fucking told you.
I told you to stay away
from that girl.
-Shoot him.
-[gun clicks]
[grunts]
[groaning]

-Ah!
[groans]
[suspenseful music playing]
-[all scream]
-[gunshots]
Get up.
What are you doing here?
I'm bailing your ass out,
what do you think?
You know I love telling you
I told you so, right?
Come on, get up, get up.
Here. Take it.
You got what you wanted?
Let's go get her.

[ominous music playing]
[panting, groaning]
Did I... ever tell you
how much I loved you?
[coughs] It's okay.
I, uh...
I needed this.
I needed this.
I'm sorry, man, I'm sorry.
Don't be sorry.
Just... time to go.
I'm okay, Bruno.
[somber music playing]
[sobbing]
[intense music playing]
[grunts]
Joe, I'm here. They left.
We lost Joe.
I gotta head home, B.
I'm bleeding out.
[Fitch]
I'll be much help remotely.
I'm sending you
Krieger's location.
[engine starts, revs]
[foreboding music playing]
[music intensifying]
[Krieger] Does Kovalovski know
what happened at the warehouse?
[guard] No. He is only
concerned about the girl.
[Krieger] Good.
Keep it that way. Let's go.
-[groaning]
-[clattering]
[thudding]
[tense music playing]
[Bruno] Fitch, you copy?
Yeah, B, I'm here. What's up?
[Bruno] I'm in.
[Fitch] Tell me.
You're not gonna believe
what I'm seeing right now.
[foreboding music playing]
-[Bruno] Excuse me.
-What?
[Bruno] Where is
the communications room?
You see this?
It means I'm fucking busy, okay?
How busy?
Follow me.
[indistinct chatter]
[in Thai]
[in Thai]
[in English] Yeah, um,
we're gonna need
to use the room.
Just for a minute.
-Why?
-Uh...
[in Thai]
Okay.
[alarm blaring]
[Bruno]
Fitch, I set off an alarm.
I'm on it.
-Come on, come on, come on.
-[beeping]
[alarm wailing]
Okay, I got it.
Just click the link.
[beeping]
Now we're in business.
[Fitch] Pulling up
the security cameras now.
[beeping]
[Fitch] Oh, my god.
This is
Dr. Kovalovski's compound.
-Who's that?
-Seriously?
It's that scientist
doing all the DNA experiments.
- ...a deeply personal mission
-[Fitch] Look at this.
[Dr. Kovalovski]
born from the loss
of my beloved wife, Sarah.
Taken by this
devastating illness.
Her memory
and her courageous battle
served as a catalyst
for this
groundbreaking initiative.
Thank you.
[somber music playing]
[beeping]
[Fitch] Oh, Bruno.
Athena is not his victim.
She's his creation.
[somber music playing]
Turn it off.
Bruno, there's a guard outside.

[foreboding music playing]
Wow, pretty impressive.
I will forgive you for all
the mess you made in my house
if you will let me use your DNA
for my next project. Hm?
Here's your DNA, motherfucker.
[grunting]
[tense music playing]
[grunting]
Where is she?
[smacks lips] You mean my wife?
I lost her once.
And now you think that
after all the work and money
I spent on creating her again,
on bringing her back,
I will just let you take her?
[chuckles] Ah.
[spits]
She is not your wife.
Not exactly, but pretty close.
You can't own her.
Yes, I can.
I gave her life.
And if you just think about it,
what greater love
is there than that?
Have you asked her
what she wants?
Why? Ever. She has no choice.
She has a choice.
And she made a choice.
And what is that?
She left you and chose me.
Kill him.
[grunting]
[tense music intensifying]
[groaning, gagging]
-[bone cracks]
-[groans]
[gagging]
You're a romantic idiot.
I used to be like you,
but now I pay
for that sort of things.
I create them.
You can't pay for affinity.
You're right. Not yet.
[heavy blow]
[somber music playing]
I will be the only man
she will ever love.
I will make her forget
everything about you.

Hi, handsome.
Want to have some fun?
You okay?
Soldier?
[Bruno] Listen.
[fizzing]
[Bruno] You are very beautiful.
But not today, okay?
-Are you sure?
-Yeah.
I'm sure.
Our idea, to harness the power
of DNA modification
against cancer,
is not just
a scientific endeavor.
It's a deeply personal mission
born from the loss
of my beloved wife, Sarah,
taken by this
devastating illness.
Her memory
and her courageous battle
serve as a catalyst
for this groundbreaking
initiative.
Something's wrong.
Follow me. It'll be fun.

Yeah, that's him.
You should be ashamed
of yourself.
Especially after
what we just went through.
Getting sick and tired
of this bullshit, Bruno.
Having to bail your ass
out of jail every other weekend.
Hm? If it happens again,
I will leave you there.
[utensils clatter]
Maybe it'll be an improvement
on that shack you're in, yeah?
If I was you, I'd stop looking
at that photograph
of your brother
and try getting my head
out of my ass. Yeah?
Hey, maybe you could
find a girl.
You like girls?
Hm?
[spoon clinking, clatters]
Have a family. Become a man.
Yeah? Take a look at me, buddy.
Take a look around you.
What do you see?
Loneliness.
Because it is.
Stop wasting your fucking life.
We've been through this, too.
You've got to stop
torturing yourself.
It's not your fault, son.
You weren't there, man.
That's sir to you.
Yes, sir.
Look at me.
I said, look at me.
I'm not telling you
to forget about your brother.
Okay, that's not
what I'm saying.
But what I am saying
is to stop going on benders
in the Red Light District
because of it.
You don't get it, man.
Say that again.
Say it again
that I don't get it.
Because maybe
I can tell you a story about...
how your father died
in my fucking arms!
You want to hear it?
You think you're the only one
that's going
through this, right?
You selfish motherfucker!
Now you're bringing me into it!
You know, I'm going
to tell you something.
Life's about
getting kicked in the teeth
over and over, Bruno.
Yeah?
But it's about learning
how to take it!
Do me a favor.
Take the rest of the day off.
I mean it. Go home.
[foreboding music playing]
[gunshots]
[cell phone ringing]
-[inhales deeply]
-[cell phone ringing]
Finally, B. Uh, do you want
to get some drinks with me?
Because work is kicking
my ass and I could...
What's up with the gun?
Uh, this gun?
The one in your hand.
-Nothing. It's all good.
- Don't bullshit me.
I'm going to come over there.
We're going to go get
those drinks, all right?
No, no. It's okay.
I had a rough night.
Man, you went out
partying without me?
I should have called you.
I woke up in jail.
Well, that sounds
like one hell of a party.
Yeah.
A girl robbed and drugged me.
I mean, at least
tell me you got laid.
Yeah, almost.
Actually, I woke up in an alley
with a guy unzipping my pants.
Uh... Wow, man.
Do you know
what she drugged you with?
[scoffs] I don't know.
I don't remember much.
I do remember I kicked the shit
out of them, though.
You know,
the same thing happened
to one of my clients at Indra.
I'm going to look
into it for you.
Thanks, Fitch.
[thunder rumbles]
[thuds]
[foreboding music playing]
[coughing]
[cell phone ringing]
Hey, what's up?
So, I did a little
research for you,
and it wasn't a roofie.
You got slipped
a submission drug,
and they're
calling it "devil's breath."
Look, Fitch,
I'm in the middle of something.
I'll have to call you
later, okay?
[Fitch] I got you.
You have any family?
I can take you to a doctor.
It's okay.
Look, I made this for you.
Don't worry. You're safe here.
It's chicken broth.
It will help you feel better.
Here you have
some dry clothes, okay?
Get some rest.
-[light music playing]
-[indistinct conversations]
[coughs] Excuse me.
Look who the cat dragged in,
everyone. Welcome.
Got my shit together.
[Joe] It doesn't look like it.
What do you mean?
What do I mean?
I mean, you're late.
Not much, though.
No, Bruno, not much.
Just enough to be late.
A girl washed up at my house.
-She was unconscious.
-[coughs]
What did you say?
What? What was that?
Say that again.
Did CPR on her. She woke up.
Okay.
So, let me ask you, hero...
Where is she right now?
At my house, sleeping.
Mm.
She was not feeling good.
You know?
I'm sure she wasn't.
Are you out
of your fucking mind, brother?
I mean, really. Are you out
of your fucking mind?
-I saved her, man.
-You what?
I say, I saved her.
-You saved her?
-Yeah.
Oh, I'm sorry.
I didn't copy that.
You saved her. My bad.
Take her to the fucking
hospital, Bruno.
What are you...
Get away from me.
-She's not your business.
-Relax.
Get away from me.
Because... I fucking...
Get off! Stop it.
-You fucking-- [coughs]
-It's all good, man.
Relax, man. Come on.
No, I'll relax... [coughs]
...when you make it here
on time, okay?
That's not ready!
Hey, no, no, no.
I want you to rinse
the lettuce before you dice it.
[Joe] Please start again. No.
[uneasy music playing]
[clinking]
[foreboding music playing]
[Joe] I see six.
[Bruno] Copy that.
See you down there.
[gunfire]
[helicopter whirring, fades]
[soft footsteps approaching]
[gasps, grunts]
[somber music playing]
Thank you.
It's beautiful.
[Bruno] Yeah.
Where are you from?
I don't know.
I can still take you
to a doctor.
No.
I'm fine. I just need some time.
I'm Bruno, and you?
[Bruno] Don't worry.
Don't worry about it.
I'm gonna make some food
before I go, okay?
Thank you.
Anything you want to tell me?
Not really.
[utensils clanking]
You get rid of that girl yet?
You told me to find a girl
to have a family.
[chuckles]
Are you kidding me, Bruno?
Gotta get it posted
and stick it onto your forehead?
This girl is trouble.
You don't know
anything about her.
-You don't either.
-You don't know
what kind of trouble she's gonna
bring into your life.
You don't either.
How many people we have?
I think it was six, right?
-[Bruno] One, two...
-Wow, look who's working here.
Huh? [chuckles]
[Bruno] Here is good Joe, right?
At least you didn't
find her in a bar.
[pensive music playing]
I remember something.
What?
I escaped.
[woman panting]
Escaped?
From this.
There are fields
of these flowers.
But flowers?
Hm. Sounds nice.
No, it wasn't.
[beeping]
I'm glad
I'm not there right now.
I understand.
Do you?
[somber music playing]
I still don't know your name.
[gentle music playing]
Athena.
Thank you.
Okay, I'll take this one.
Khop , thank you.
Hi. [chuckles]
Oh, there he is. That's for you.
I gotta tell you,
we had a great day today, Bruno.
I'm very happy.
Oh, I can see that.
And what are you talking about?
I don't know, you tell me, man.
Well, if you're referring
to those two young ladies
over there
who were checking you out,
-yeah, I see them.
-No.
I'm talking about the one
with the straw hat
who looks like
she wants to eat sushi off you.
[laughs] Yeah, well,
I think she's trouble,
all right, Bruno?
Drop it, that's enough.
Joe, are you shy now?
Come on.
-Shy?
-Yeah.
-You're calling me shy?
-Yeah.
Bruno.
I owe you two days off, man.
I can cover for you.
Yeah, you do owe me
two days off, Bruno.
I appreciate that.
Khop , thank you.
That's everything for me,
just three tomatoes.
That's it, thank you, khop .
[chuckles]
She's sleeping in your room?
-I'm on the couch.
-You're on the couch?
Not for long.
Don't say I didn't warn you.
Okay, Bruno?
Don't say
I didn't warn you, pal.
Does Fitch know about this?
-Not yet.
-Not yet?
I don't know, maybe you should
have Fitch do a run on her,
just saying.
Khop , thank you.
I think I got digits.
[chuckles]
A number here, thank you.
Feels like a drug deal
gone wrong.
-Thank you, khop .
-Okay.
Khop , thank you.
[monks chanting]

I lost my brother
a few years ago.
This temple for me
is like a safe place.
Where I can remember him
and still find a way to heal.
I just look at him and breathe.
[serene music playing]
Did I do something wrong?
Can you do it again?
Better?
[calm music playing]
[boat engine whirring]
[breathing rhythmically]
Ooh, wait a minute.
I know you.
Come on, man.
What are you doing here
on your day off, Bruno?
Just want you to meet someone.
Wait a minute,
you didn't fucking...
Nice to meet you.
My name is Joe.
Joe?
My name is Athena.
Athena?
You're the one keeping him
in line, right?
In line?
You know, I gotta meet Fitch.
In about a half hour,
I'm meeting her at the market,
so how about you
and Athena join me?
Maybe we get her out
of your favorite sweatsuit
and get you some decent clothes.
-How's that sound?
-Yeah.
-[Bruno] Okay.
-Nice to meet you.
Don't be late.
[light music playing]
[light music continues playing]
[no audible dialogue]
[light music playing]
[Joe] No, no,
take this place, please.
-Table six.
-Bravo, okay, nice.
It's a good job. For you.
-Thank you.
-Okay, now this.
-You remember what this is?
-The fish.
It's a fish, and it's for what?
-For the soup.
-For the soup.
And the soup only.
-I got this.
-You got it? Bravo, huh?
Straw hat?
-What?
-The woman in the market?
-A woman?
-No, no, there's no woman, okay?
There's no woman.
And don't listen to him
because he doesn't know
what he's talking about.
You, focus on not fucking up.
I mean it.
Watch over him.
-Go.
-What happened?
[foreboding music playing]
Hey, Athena,
what's going on? Wait!
[foreboding music continues]
[panting]
What's going on, Athena?
-Tell me.
-I can't breathe.
Okay, calm down. It's okay.
I don't wanna go back.
I don't wanna go back.
-I don't wanna go back.
-What are you... Where? Where?
[coughs, breathes heavily]
Athena?
Hey.
[sobbing]
Athena.
Everything's gonna be okay.
I saw them. [breathing heavily]
-No one is coming, okay?
-I don't wanna go back.
[sobbing] I don't wanna go back.
You can trust me.
Everything is gonna be okay.
Calm down.
You can stay here.
I'm gonna go outside
and I'll be right back, okay?
Just stay here.

Fitch.
Fitch.
[Fitch] Bruno?
What are you doing?
You're bleeding.
I'm good, I'm fine,
it's all good.
I need your car.
Fitch.
Are you looking for these?
Bruno, where are we going?
[sighs]
-They took her.
-Who took her?
I told her to trust me,
and they fucking took her.
Bruno, who took her?
A group of men, one in charge.
Did she know any of them?
Yeah, she did.
What do we know?
I woke up.
There was a raft,
she was unconscious.
There were fields
of white flowers.
Flowers sound pretty nice.
It wasn't.
She was afraid.
She didn't wanna go back.
[keyboard keys clacking]
Take a look at this.
And this.
[Fitch] I am positive
that is what you
got drugged with at Indra.
They've been operating
in Asia for decades,
and now they use that drug
to rob people.
You think Athena
is connected to this?
Yes.
I mean, it's my best guess.
And I don't think
she was the only one.
About 20 years ago,
there was an unsolved case
involving five female tourists
that disappeared.
When the investigation
went cold,
all the bodies just started
popping up around the city.
I have to find her.
I know where to start.
Get dressed.
[foreboding music playing]
[upbeat music playing]
Get you anything to drink?
No, thank you.
Yes, two Singhas.
Ka.
Thank you.
[upbeat music playing]
Are you gonna drink that?
Hell no.
B, it's just a beer.
I go for the girl.
Hey, how are you?
Fuck off.
-How are you?
-Good.
-Where are your friends?
-Over there.
Hey, you.
Can I get you
something to drink?
Please.
You got it, girl.
May I have, uh, two of those?
You know what?
All right,
it'll be perfect right now.
It's getting hot.
Is this for me?
That is for you.
This one is for me.
-Cheers.
-To...
us.
Us, sounds good.
Oh, look at you,
you got something here.
[gasps] Bitch!
-[groans]
-[grunts]
-[smashes]
-[groans]
Take her home. Now. Go.
[man groaning]
Where did you get this?
Go fuck yourself.
You better not
be fucking with us.
I'm not gonna tell you anything.
You're not gonna tell me...
I'm not gonna tell you anything.
[groaning]
Okay, okay, there's a party,
there's a party.
[coughing]
This is fucking crazy.
What party?
Just a party,
I have no idea what party.
Just a party. I know the place.
I don't know names, okay?
No names.
I'll show you the place.

Who do you work for?
They will kill me.
I'll fucking kill you.
Ah! Wait, wait,
I gotta cut back.
[pants]
[gagging]
Fitch, water.
[gulps, breathes heavily]
[groans]
You fuck up the big time.
Where is she?
I don't know. [laughs]
What do you do to the girls
after you drug them?
Take your money,
your money, your money.
-What else?
-Depend if I horny.
Oh, yo. [laughs]
Who's in charge
of the white flower?
Krieger. [laughs]
[Bruno] Krieger.
-Waiting for me.
-Where?
Where? Well,
Phra Pradaeng District. [laughs]
Phra Pradaeng.
Phra Pradaeng District.

Don't be sorry.
Just... time to go.
I'm okay, Bruno.

Joe, I'm here. They left.

I'm sending you
Krieger's location.
[engine starts, revs]
[foreboding music playing]

[Krieger] Does Kovalovski know
what happened at the warehouse?

Keep it that way. Let's go.

[Bruno] Fitch, you copy?
Yeah, B, I'm here. What's up?
[Bruno] I'm in.
[Fitch] Tell me.
You're not gonna believe
what I'm seeing right now.
[foreboding music playing]
-[Bruno] Excuse me.
-What?
[Bruno] Where is
the communications room?
You see this?
It means I'm fucking busy, okay?
How busy?
Follow me.
[indistinct chatter]
[in Thai]
[in Thai]
[in English] Yeah, um,
we're gonna need
to use the room.
Just for a minute.
-Why?
-Uh...
[in Thai]
Okay.
[alarm blaring]
[Bruno]
Fitch, I set off an alarm.
I'm on it.
-Come on, come on, come on.
-[beeping]

Okay, I got it.
Just click the link.
[beeping]
Now we're in business.
[Fitch] Pulling up
the security cameras now.
[beeping]
[Fitch] Oh, my god.
This is
Dr. Kovalovski's compound.
-Who's that?
-Seriously?
It's that scientist
doing all the DNA experiments.
- ...a deeply personal mission
-[Fitch] Look at this.
[Dr. Kovalovski]
born from the loss
of my beloved wife, Sarah.
Taken by this
devastating illness.
Her memory
and her courageous battle
served as a catalyst
for this
groundbreaking initiative.
Thank you.
[somber music playing]

Athena is not his victim.

I will forgive you for all

if you will let me use your DNA
for my next project. Hm?
Here's your DNA, motherfucker.
[grunting]
[tense music playing]
[grunting]
Where is she?
[smacks lips] You mean my wife?
I lost her once.
And now you think that
after all the work and money
I spent on creating her again,
on bringing her back,
I will just let you take her?
[chuckles] Ah.
[spits]
She is not your wife.
Not exactly, but pretty close.
You can't own her.
Yes, I can.
I gave her life.
And if you just think about it,
what greater love
is there than that?
Have you asked her
what she wants?
Why? Ever. She has no choice.
She has a choice.
And she made a choice.
And what is that?
She left you and chose me.
Kill him.

I used to be like you,
but now I pay
for that sort of things.
I create them.
You can't pay for affinity.
You're right. Not yet.
[heavy blow]
[somber music playing]
I will be the only man
she will ever love.
I will make her forget
everything about you.
