(CELL PHONE RINGING)
(RINGING STOPS)
MAN ON PA: Cabin crew,
prepare for landing, thank you.
(PEOPLE CHATTERING)
Welcome to Bangkok,
we hope you enjoy your stay.
Mahalo.
Next.
WOMAN ON PA: Next station,
Ratchaprarop Station.
(PA NOTICE REPEATS IN THAI)
(PEOPLE CHATTERING)
(KEYPAD BEEPING)
(POLICE SIREN WAILING)
Good evening, sir. I hope I
didn't make you wait for too long.
Oh, not at all, you're right on time.
Perfect, actually.
(CHUCKLES)
(HORN HONKS)
(HORNS HONKING)
I hope you had a nice nap.
- Water.
- Ah...
- Thank you
- You're welcome.
MAN: You weren't kidding
about the traffic.
(FHA CHUCKLES)
Believe it or not,
I was expecting much worse.
- We're not too far away now.
- (EXHALES)
Uh... Ahem.
Thank you.
Oh... Thank you.
Most people would
just toss it to the side.
Most people are inconsiderate.
- (CHUCKLES)
- This car is spotless.
You must really like this job.
Well, it's decent money.
Plus, I get to choose
my own hours,
and I get to meet
a lot of interesting people.
You like to drive at night?
I have more time at night.
Can't it get dangerous?
Probably, but I've been lucky.
Plus, the app tells me
where I'm being called
and where I'm heading to so,
it's all right.
You're a very pretty woman.
You must get propositioned
all the time.
(CHUCKLES)
I'll be worried if they stop.
I'm not getting
any younger, you know.
(CHUCKLES)
I take it you're not married?
- No.
- May I ask you... why?
Never got around to it.
I have a brother, he has MS.
They detected it ten years ago.
He's 25 now.
He's everything to me.
I'm sure he is.
And I'm sure you're doing
everything you can.
I am.
It's just this past year...
It's gotten much worse.
Yeah.
(SIGHS)
MS can be like that.
A lot of people
who suffer from it
tend to live a lot longer
than they're expected to.
Are you a doctor?
No.
But I was a field medic
a long time ago.
I know a little
about a lot of things.
Jack of all trades, huh?
- Master of none, that's right.
- (CHUCKLES)
- Your English is very good.
- Well, thank you.
I studied English in college,
and that was a long time ago.
Well, I won't
talk about your age
if you don't
talk about my white beard.
(LAUGHS)
I watch a lot of movies as well,
also YouTube videos.
That's how
I practice my English,
but I still feel like
my vocabulary isn't there yet.
Well, you sound great to me.
Besides you're Thai,
you don't need to speak
perfect English.
I'm actually half,
my dad's English.
But I grew up here
and lived here all my life.
Who knows, you know,
maybe one day I'm going to be
living in a country where they only
speak English, and no more Thai.
Well, the office building
is just up ahead.
MAN:
Can you pull up in the front?
WOMAN: Mm-hm.
All right, we're here.
My name is Kai.
In Hawaiian it means "the sea."
Oh, that's very beautiful.
You're from Hawaii?
Yes.
My name is Fha.
It means "sky" in Thai.
Nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you, Fha.
How's business been tonight?
You're my first customer.
I just started my shift.
- If you don't mind me asking...
- Mm-hm?
How much do you make
on an average Friday night?
I would say 1,500 baht,
and 2,000 on a good night.
Sixty dollars?
Yeah, I think so, yes.
I have an offer for you.
If you decide to take it
you'll have to turn off the app.
Okay.
I have four more stops
after this one, all in the city.
One-thousand dollars,
that's the deposit.
You can quit anytime,
take the money.
But if you decide
to stay with me until the end,
I'll give you $5,000 in cash.
(CLEARS THROAT)
You don't have to do anything.
You don't even have to get out
of the car unless you want to.
I just need you to drive for me.
I need to go up to talk with a lawyer.
Wait for me here.
When I get back,
I'll answer any questions you may have.
All right?
Thank you.
Thank me at the end.
(IN THAI)
Hello.
Forty-third floor.
KAI: Thank you.
You're welcome.
(ELEVATOR DINGS)
- Good evening, Mr. Kahale.
- Good evening.
- How was your flight?
- It was quick.
WOMAN: That's nice.
Khun Cha Cha is actually
waiting for you.
Thank you.
Welcome to Bangkok,
Mr. Kahale.
Thank you so much, Khun Cha Cha.
Sorry to keep you waiting.
Not at all.
Please, have a seat.
Thank you.
You have a beautiful office.
Seems like
you've done quite well,
especially for being so young.
Yes, I have.
So, please, tell me.
How I can be of service?
You were a bit vague
on the phone,
something about an accident
and a family member.
Yes.
Actually, more than
just one family member,
the whole family.
Let me show you something.
(BAG UNZIPS)
(BAG ZIPS)
Thank you, Khun Cha Cha.
I'll see you tomorrow.
Thank you again for waiting.
Not a problem at all.
Did everything go okay?
- Very well.
- Good.
I'll be back tomorrow
around 4:00 pm
to follow up with details.
All right.
Would you please
do me a small favor?
Of course.
It's a bit unusual.
Uh, can you please
ask for a taxi,
and specifically, a pink one?
- I know it's silly.
- (LAUGHS)
But I saw a lot of the
pink taxis at the airport,
and with all my travels
I've never ridden in one.
- Sure, yeah.
- Okay, thank you.
Now, please let them know
there'll be two stops:
One at a 24-hour supermarket,
and then at my hotel,
the Hotel Millennium.
Okay, that's not
a problem at all.
It'll take
maybe about ten minutes.
Would you mind
waiting here? Or...
Uh, actually,
I prefer waiting outside.
- Okay.
- Um, I think my body
could use some fresh
non-airconditioned air.
- Yeah, okay. Great.
- Thank you again.
Have a good evening.
(ELEVATOR BEEPS)
Thank you.
(GASPS)
Oh, my gosh, you scared me.
Sorry, you should
lock the doors.
Everything went well?
The lawyer was very cooperative.
FHA: Well,
I don't like lawyers.
KAI: It's okay,
I don't either.
So, where next?
Thonglor Police Station, please.
I know, first a lawyer,
now police.
Mm-hm.
Are you in trouble?
No, it's nothing like that.
The lawyer
and the police officer
were working on a case that involved
my daughter and her family recently.
I'm here to repay them.
We're gonna get there
around 11:00 pm.
Will you be able
to see them then?
I'm sure
that won't be a problem.
(SIGHS)
(KAI GRUNTS)
(CHUCKLES)
Man, you fall asleep so easily.
Every moving vehicle.
I find I like the motion.
What do you like to do?
When you're not...
driving or taking care
of your brother?
I don't know.
I don't really have much time
to do anything else.
You must like something.
Well, what about you?
Fishing.
I like fishing.
- Fishing?
- Fishing.
Fishing sounds so boring.
(CHUCKLES)
Have you tried it?
No, but I know what it is,
and it looks boring.
Fish are like people.
Like people?
Like people.
How?
(INHALES)
Well, there are some fish
that are... really dumb
and easy to catch.
Others are extremely smart
and much more
difficult to catch.
And then there are the rare,
dangerous ones...
that can hurt or even kill you.
I actually find it relaxing...
the act of fishing.
I don't really care
whether I catch a fish or not.
I just like
standing on a beach...
watching the waves roll in...
listening to them
crash on the sand...
feeling the warm breeze
on my face...
smelling the salt...
and the scent
of flowers in the air.
That's how I fish.
That's what
my grandfather taught me.
That's what I like.
It's heaven to me.
It sounds very peaceful.
You should try it.
Maybe one day.
FHA: We're here.
Do you want me to park in front?
KAI: Yeah, park in front.
FHA: Okay.
(BAG ZIPS)
I'll be back soon.
(DOOR OPENS)
(KNOCKING)
(GRUNTING)
- (SILENCED GUNSHOT)
- (MAN GROANING)
(IN THAI)
What the fuck?
KAI: I know you speak English.
This is for Lisa.
- Who the fuck is...
- (SILENCED GUNSHOT)
You're still here.
(SIGHS) To be honest,
I thought about leaving.
You saw I left the bag.
Did you open it?
But you know
there's cash inside?
Was it a test?
Oh, my God!
What happened to your head?
I tripped.
Hit the wall.
(DOOR OPENS, CLOSES)
(DOOR OPENS, CLOSES)
You need stitches,
maybe three or four.
- (FIRST AID KIT OPENS)
- No, I'm fine. Thank you.
Are you sure?
That's a deep cut.
I'm sure.
All right.
Breathe.
(EXHALES)
And, no, it wasn't a test.
Everything in life
is about making choices.
I chose to leave the bag.
You chose not to take it.
Life is about making choices
and dealing with
those consequences.
You understand that?
I understand.
Are you hungry?
Let's get something to eat.
We have some time.
What do you feel like eating?
Something local.
Well, I know just the place.
Okay.
MAN: I mean, come on, babe,
who fucking kills a lawyer
on a Friday night?
Stop it! You're on the scene?
MAN: I'm actually
just walking in now.
MAN:
Kai Kahale, American-Hawaiian.
Just arrived today,
he came straight here.
He had an appointment.
She led him to the vic's office,
next thing you know
he asks for a taxi,
she finds her boss shot dead.
Boom, a bullet to the head.
He walked out of here
as if it was nothing.
Guards confirmed it as well.
Like I said, cold-blooded.
Body slumped over.
Blood splattered everywhere
directly behind her.
This Kai Kahale sat directly
in front of her and shot her.
WOMAN: I'm looking at his ID.
Seems to be real.
Arrived this evening, 5:00 pm,
from Haneda.
TG 614, business class.
Connecting flight.
No alias?
Kai Kahale, born 1954. Retired.
Worked as a supervisor at a coffee
plantation, big one it seems.
He shot her with a silencer,
one shot.
He's definitely
not an office worker.
Get his picture out. Send it out
to the airports and the borders.
Who knows,
maybe we'll get lucky.
All right, get as much
information as you can
and drop me off at the office.
I left my car there.
(IN THAI)
Uncle, two of the usual, please.
Sure.
like to drink?
Uh...?
I'd recommend you
the chrysanthemum tea.
It's really refreshing.
Yeah?
- Perfect.
- Perfect.
(IN THAI) Uncle,
two chrysanthemum tea, please.
Go ahead.
- Thank you.
- Customer or boyfriend?
- He's a customer.
- That's good.
Because he looks even older than your dad.
(FHA GIGGLES)
Here you go.
Thank you.
You're a regular here?
Yeah, I try to come here
two or three times a week,
depends on my ride.
(CHUCKLES)
Good?
Good.
FHA:
Can I ask you a question now?
Anything.
Six-thousand dollars
is a lot of money,
and anyone would do it
for half or even less.
Probably.
But why 6,000?
Because I wanted you to say yes.
And I wanted you
to want to do it
and be happy doing it.
Okay...
But to be honest,
I can just take half,
it's more than enough for me.
No, we made a deal,
we shook on it.
Are you sure?
Yes.
Okay. Thank you.
You're welcome.
As I said, thank me after.
After what?
(SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE)
Oh, no, no, wait.
You need to put
some of this in first.
Some nuts.
Some... I don't know what
you call this in English.
But it will make it taste good.
Do you eat chili?
I do.
Thank you.
And then you need this,
this is like the secret recipe.
- Fish sauce.
- Fish sauce?
Okay, done, dig in.
Bon apptit.
- Bon apptit.
- Merci.
Mmm, smells so good.
It's good, right?
It's really good.
(CHUCKLES)
Great.
So, what's after this?
After.
(SOFT GRUNT)
We have a stop at a club.
- Mm-hm.
- Then we go to a hospital.
And the last stop is at a house.
You're meeting
five people today?
No, seven.
And you want to know why.
(CHUCKLES)
Yeah, sorry.
It's okay, human nature.
Not too long ago...
my daughter and her family
came to Thailand.
They got into an accident.
The people
I'll be seeing tonight
were involved with it.
I see.
Are they okay?
No.
They died.
Oh.
I'm... I'm sorry.
It's okay.
I was recently
in an accident as well.
White family...
They died too.
Drunk driver.
Happens everywhere in the world.
They have a kid.
A child.
I'm sorry.
(FHA AND UNCLE SPEAKING
FOREIGN LANGUAGE)
Thank you for bringing me here
and for paying for dinner.
- It was excellent.
- You're welcome.
And, uh, I'm sorry about
the not so happy conversation.
It's okay, it's life.
Uh...
Do you know
the Ibiza night club?
Yeah. Is that
our next destination?
- Yes.
- Okay.
KAI:
A cross, you're not Buddhist?
No.
I'm not Christian either.
Are you atheist?
What's atheist?
Atheist is someone who
does not believe in religion.
I believe in faith.
I believe it's good
that people have faith.
Do you pray?
Yeah.
May I ask to whom?
To my parents.
So why the cross?
It belonged to someone I knew.
I kept it as a reminder.
Good or bad reminder?
Good.
Of something bad I did.
You did something bad?
Yeah.
Did anyone get hurt?
I don't think so.
But you feel bad.
Yeah, I feel...
I... I don't know
how to explain.
Guilt.
You feel guilty.
Guilt is good.
It reminds us to do good.
That's why I kept the cross.
Drive around.
Stay close.
I'll call,
don't pick up the phone.
Meet me over there,
past the entrance,
within five minutes
of the phone call.
Okay.
Okay.
(GASPS)
What the fuck, man?
- Dominic!
- Holy fuck!
You messed up.
Stay put.
What... What do you...
What do you want?
You killed a family with your
Porsche, do you remember?
Do you remember?!
Yes, yes, yes, yes...
I... I remember.
Just don't... don't...
don't do anything.
- (WHIMPERING)
- Stand up.
Wait, no, don't...
Just don't kill...
- (SILENCED GUNSHOT)
- (YELLS) Jesus Christ!
- Stand up!
- Okay... I didn't do anything!
(CRYING)
(MUTTERING)
Do you want...
Do you want my car?
Take it, man, it's yours.
(SILENCED GUNSHOT)
(DOOR CLOSES)
- What happened?
- Drive.
- What did you do?
- Drive, please.
Where's the nearest hospital?
Are you hurt?
I'm okay, hospital.
There's one a few minutes away.
Take us there, please.
Please!
(INDISTINCT RADIO CHATTER)
MAN: What are you thinking?
I'm thinking there's more.
I'm thinking
that it's going to escalate.
And I'm thinking he's not
sleeping in a hotel somewhere.
We need to get everything
on these three people.
Wife's on it.
She should have something for us soon.
Isn't your son like a week old?
- Nine days.
- Talk about a slave driver.
You met my wife, right?
You know she doesn't rest.
(PHONE BUZZING)
Speak.
All right, thanks.
Seems like you're right again.
- Where?
- Ibiza Night Club.
Twenty-three-year-old,
shot through the chest.
- Witness all claim... old Asian man.
- All right.
Wait, boss, there's more.
The kid, he's not dead.
He's being transported
to the hospital as we speak.
You go to the club, get a positive
ID, take a look around,
and I'll head over
to the hospital.
Copy that.
Can I have a tissue, please?
Thank you.
(RUSTLING)
I'm not going to kill you.
Nothing has changed.
Our deal is still the deal.
It wasn't an accident, right,
me picking you up tonight?
No, it wasn't.
I know where you live.
I knew your routine.
Why?
The family that died
in your car...
that was my daughter...
her husband...
and her five-year-old daughter.
My grandchild.
(BREATHES DEEPLY)
(CRIES)
You gonna kill me?
It was possible... yes.
It was your car, your signature
on the witness sheet.
(CRYING)
I swear,
I don't want to kill you.
I don't even want to hurt you.
Can you give me
a bottle of water, please?
(CONSOLE OPENS)
Thank you.
Drink it.
(SIGHS)
What changed your mind?
That.
I gave that to my daughter...
on her 18th birthday.
(INHALES SHARPLY)
Anyone who can live
with as much guilt as you do...
over making a choice...
You had no option.
That person has a good heart.
You're going to kill him?
Yes.
What kind
of fucking place is this?
- Is this you?
- What the fuck do you mean?
Is this one of
your business associates?
Did you have
some sort of deal go bad?
Fuck you!
Fuck you for even thinking that.
How can I not think it?
How many times
have you put us in danger?
- Really?
- Yeah.
How many times
have you been shot at?
How many times has Dom?
That's right, none.
I have never put us in danger.
The life I provide you with,
ninety-nine percent of the
population would kill for.
So, I would appreciate
some respect!
The fact that I let you fuck your
little hussies is respect enough.
What, you think I don't know?
You think I'm some farang
who's blind
and doesn't know
what's going on?
(SCOFFS)
Nothing you do goes by me.
I can take my son
and walk away
with everything you got.
I know all
your dirty little secrets.
So the fact
that I'm still standing here,
that's all the respect
you're going to get.
And if my son dies...
I swear to God,
you'll regret the day
that you ever laid eyes on me.
(SMACKING)
(TIRES SCREECHING)
(CRASHING)
(MONITORS BEEPING)
MAN: He's a lucky boy.
The bullet went clean through.
All they had to do was clean
his wounds and stitch him up.
He's gonna be okay.
You're fired...
useless piece of shit!
You fucking shot my son?!
Wait, wait, wait!
What is this all about?
Listen, anything you want.
I have so much money.
Your money paid for everything.
Made my son-in-law
into a criminal.
You covered your son's crimes!
Yeah, you understand now.
I did it to protect my son.
Something any father would do.
Me too.
(SILENCED GUNSHOT)
The apple never falls
far from the tree.
He's just a kid.
(SILENCED GUNSHOTS)
You're old enough to kill...
you're old enough to die
(SILENCED GUNSHOT)
(MONITOR BEEPING RAPIDLY)
(EXHALES)
Well, what do you got?
WIFE: Hurt boobies.
Like father, like son.
I found connections between the cops
and the lawyers in over 20 cases.
From small traffic violations
to more serious crimes.
Example?
Drug and human trafficking,
possession.
You name it,
they worked on it together.
And for every instance
the defendants walked.
There was only one case involving
the Davis family though.
- Okay.
- A few months ago, the son was involved in an accident.
Four people died
and one was injured,
including a five-year-old girl.
A British family.
- Not American?
- No, British.
- The Coopers.
- And the son got acquitted.
Turns out the husband
was the one driving the taxi.
Paid the driver extra,
said he always wanted to drive in Bangkok.
Got confused,
drove right onto coming traffic.
And ran directly into the son.
Yeah,
that's the official version.
No, thanks to our
two dead friends, I'm sure.
Right.
Your thoughts?
My thoughts are the same,
the law is the law.
Vigilante justice
is still homicide.
(ELEVATOR DINGS)
KAI: Drop it!
Now!
Okay, man, relax.
I'm putting down the gun.
Look, I know everything.
The son, he killed
your family, right?
Son or daughter?
My daughter.
I understand, but no one
needs to get hurt anymore.
Oh, yes, one more person,
then it's done.
The only person
that is gonna get hurt is you.
If you continue this.
Put down the gun.
Come on, man,
let's handle this the right way.
The legal way.
Yeah, that didn't
work out too well
for my daughter and her family.
DETECTIVE: And that's on us,
and I apologize.
But there's
good and bad everywhere.
- Yeah.
- DETECTIVE: They were bad people
pretending to be good.
You are good doing bad,
and two wrongs
don't make it right, man.
Nothing will make this right,
not even this.
- So why are we doing this?
- Because I can.
Because no one else did.
Don't.
I don't want to shoot you,
I don't want to shoot her,
but I will.
Stay there.
(SILENCED GUNSHOT)
KAI: Go, go, go!
Go.
No!
DETECTIVE: Kai!
KAI: No, fuckin' stay there!
Kai, you're not gonna shoot me.
- I will shoot you!
- Let her go.
KAI: I'm not letting her go.
I'm not letting her go!
Kai, please let her go,
she didn't do anything.
- I don't want to hurt her!
- I don't have a gun.
Kai, calm down.
That's not you,
you're not that type of man.
- They're already dead.
- Stay there!
DETECTIVE: Kai, they're all dead.
Let her go, please.
- I'm begging you.
- I'm gonna shoot you.
I'm gonna shoot you.
I'll shoot you.
Kai, let her go!
You want to shoot me,
then shoot me!
But you fucking let her go now!
That's not you, Kai!
Let her go!
Okay?
I'm a father, just like you.
Just like you,
I'm a father, I understand,
but please, just let her go.
Please.
Kai... Kai, listen to me.
Let her go.
(GUNSHOTS)
(GRUNTING)
(SILENCED GUNSHOTS)
No!
That's on you!
That's on you!
No!
- (GRUNTS)
- Help! Help me!
Officer down! Two down!
Come on, bro, hang in there,
hang in there.
I didn't kill her, right?
No, you didn't, she's good.
She's going to make it. Okay.
(MUTTERING)
Fuck!
(GROANS)
(PANTING)
(WHIMPERS)
(GASPING)
(GRUNTS)
Fuck.
(PHONE BUZZING)
(PANTING)
This is a surprise.
Where are you?
I don't know.
FHA: There are cops everywhere.
Yeah, I know.
Didn't go quite as well
as planned.
Send me your location.
They don't know my car,
I'm close.
I'll come pick you up.
All right.
Park in the alley.
I'll see you when you pull up.
(EXHALES)
(WINCES)
(VEHICLE APPROACHES)
Stay low.
(SIRENS WAILING)
(SIGHS) Thank you.
Where are we going?
You're bleeding,
we need to fix you.
I'm fine.
(GRUNTS)
Bullet went through.
- How do you know?
- I felt it.
But I can't go to a hospital.
I'm serious.
The detective, he's good.
It won't take him long
before he figure's out
who the last target is.
And the last target himself...
He's gonna know what's
going on in the next hour...
and disappear.
We're not going to the hospital,
don't worry.
It's not too far away.
(IN THAI)
Thank you.
How are you holding up?
Better.
You did your best.
I heard everything.
Kid was 29.
He shot a nurse.
She was 24.
He's not a kid.
There's another target.
I know.
That's why I'm here.
You remember the accident?
There was one person
who was injured.
Didn't die.
Her name was Vanida Hoffsted.
She was a cab driver.
The girl that testified
at the trial.
Yeah.
Earlier tonight,
she picked up someone
from On Nut Road around 8:00 pm.
Two hours later,
dropped him off on Silom Road.
Near the law offices?
Well, where is she now?
She turned her app off
after that.
She was driving a new Volvo.
I have the plates.
We can track her.
It'll show up
if she's on the road.
- Put everything on it.
- I already ordered it.
Of course you did, babe.
- You saw the photos.
- Stop.
I know you're
a good-hearted person...
but he's still
a cold-blooded murderer.
He never was one.
He served in the military;
Two tours, 40 years ago.
After that,
not even a single blemish.
- Not even a traffic violation.
- He's still a murderer.
He's also a father.
Just like you.
What are you trying to say,
I should just drop everything?
No, but I know you.
You just watched your young
partner get shot and die.
You're operating
on emotions right now.
I'm just here
to give you some balance.
You're a good man, like him.
I don't want to see you
do a bad thing.
Two wrongs don't make a right.
I gotta go work.
Look at him.
Now look at me.
You're a good cop, babe.
But remember, you're a father
now, first and foremost.
Then a husband, then a cop.
- I love you.
- Ditto.
(TIRES SCREECH)
(KAI WINCES)
Oh, my God.
FHA: Okay, okay,
okay, okay.
Uh, do you have
some saline or some alcohol
- or something first?
- Oh, right, yes.
Oh, fuck.
- All right. Oh, thanks.
- Sorry.
Oh, my gosh,
that's a lot of blood.
Okay...
(EXHALES)
Are you ready?
Okay, this is gonna hurt.
(KAI GROANS)
(EXHALES)
(GROANS)
(BOTH EXHALE)
Why'd you come back?
(GROANS)
Sorry.
I had a chance to correct
the wrong that I did.
So I made a choice.
You said we live with the
consequences of our own choice.
I made a bad one before.
You didn't have a choice.
I know that now.
Ow.
- (SIGHS) Okay.
- (GROANS)
They gave me two million baht...
and this car.
They told me to say that I
wasn't the one who was driving.
That our car hit the other car.
If I didn't take the offer...
I believe that they were
probably going to kill me.
Yes.
They would have.
I spent most of my money
on my brother.
Paid in advance
for his hospital expenses.
There's not much left now.
Well, turn around,
you've got one more to go.
Ooh.
This is gonna hurt more.
(GROANS)
All right, last one.
Take a deep breath.
(GROANS)
Thank you.
It's gonna leave a big scar.
It's okay.
It's a good reminder.
Of what, tonight?
Of you.
Jack of all trades.
(CHUCKLES)
I actually have one more reason
why I came back.
I started driving two years ago.
Before this, I used to work
in hotels and restaurants.
I meet a lot of foreigners
everywhere I work.
All the foreigners,
they see me, they like me.
They offered money
for me to sleep with them.
But I'd never take it.
You understand?
You're the first man
that I've met... in my life
that showed me respect.
Who actually gave me
respect for what I do.
My work.
Not for what I look like.
That's why I came back.
That's the nicest thing anyone
has said to me since... my wife.
It's the truth.
Makes it nicer.
Stay here.
(DOOR OPENS)
(DOOR CLOSES)
Hold this.
There's $4,000 cash in this bag.
It's yours.
Do you know Bitcoin?
Bit... coin.
Yeah, I think so.
You know it's money?
Like electronic money.
I read something online,
but I'm not sure.
Okay, it's not hard
to find out about.
Inside that bag is a hard drive.
My life savings.
One-million, three-hundred and
eighty-nine thousand dollars.
It's yours.
No, no, no, no,
I cannot take this.
- No, no, no. Listen to me.
- No, no, I cannot.
- Listen to me. Listen to me.
- No.
I converted it to bitcoin.
I didn't know what else to do.
Uh, I was thinking, maybe,
I could donate it
to charity afterwards,
but there is no
afterwards for me.
What do you mean?
I mean, the last guy
is different from the others.
He's much more dangerous.
Much smarter.
Better guarded.
So you think you cannot win?
It was never about
winning for me.
Even if I survive,
I'll go to prison.
I should go to prison.
But I can't go there,
you understand?
I understand.
So you must take this.
Because if you take this,
you win.
And if you win, I win.
You take your brother
and you get some passports.
And you take him to some country
that doesn't speak Thai,
if that's what you really want.
Okay?
Okay.
(SIGHS)
Thank you.
You're welcome.
(CRIES)
FHA: Who is this man?
He's Japanese.
- Like Yakuza?
- No.
But he works with them.
He works with anyone
who can pay his price.
Which is... very high.
To do what?
To solve problems.
Like?
Like, if you kill someone
and you need to
get rid of the body.
If you get arrested for drunk
driving, killing a family...
he can fix it.
He's a really bad man then.
One of the worst.
A type of person who can do
a lot of bad things
and not get dirty for it.
Well, you seem to know
a lot about him.
I hired him.
What?
He arranged everything for me.
The bag, the gun,
the phone, everything.
Oh, well,
you're really smart, Mr. Kai.
(SIGHS)
(SEATBELT UNBUCKLES)
Don't go.
Make a choice.
Take me and my brother
to Hawaii.
We can go fishing.
That would be nice.
Fishing with you...
and your brother.
(SIGHS)
Good luck...

Hey!
Hey, you motherfucker!
You got all these guys
fighting for you,
you can't do it yourself?
Huh? One guy.
One guy!
Huh? You fucker!
Come out!
Come out!
You, deal with me, old man!
Tough guy!
Come here, fuck head!
Huh?
You want me to come inside?
I'll fucking come inside.
I'll find you.
(WHIMPERS)
Hold on a second.
You're really aggressive.
You've got nice hair.
I admire you, I really do.
You know, it's impressive
what you've done here tonight.
Well, I'm not finished yet.
And I'm only getting started.
As you know, I don't usually
involve myself personally
in anything.
I like to manipulate things.
But I'm really gonna enjoy this.
It's been a long time
since I killed anyone.
(GROANING)
(GRUNTS)
You shot a 22-year-old boy.
That's cold-blooded, dude.
(GRUNTS)
Yeah, well... I'm not done yet.
You Hawaiian man.
They certainly don't
make 'em like you anymore.
You're pissed at me because
I helped some rich parents
get their son off.
I didn't kill your family.
They'd be dead
if I stepped in or not.
So is this all worth it?
Yeah.
It's worth it.
Maybe.
I took my shot.
Now you take yours.
(BOTH GRUNTING)
(GROANS)
(BOTH GRUNTING)
Come on!
(PANTING)
Ow, fuck!
Shit.
Goddamn.
Kai!
I should just shoot you.
Kai, Kai...
- (GRUNTS)
- It's me.
Who the fuck are you?
Who the fuck are you?
You're the cab driver.
She's not involved.
Wait, you actually
care about her?
She took bribe money.
Yeah, you didn't
give her a choice.
(CHUCKLES)
True. Details.
Let her go.
How the fuck
are you still standing?
Please...
let her go.
(CHUCKLES)
I'm gonna have to say no.
But I'm gonna be a nice guy.
I'm gonna give you a choice.
Who do I shoot first?
Sorry.
Me too.
Her.
Wise choice.
(GUNSHOT)
Is this on me too?
I'm sorry about the cop.
And the nurse.
She has all the evidence
to clear my family's name.
Please, do it.
I held her hostage.
I threatened her brother.
I forced her into this.
(GRUNTS)
Please, call an ambulance.
I already have.
I'm dead.
You know that.
I know I don't deserve it...
but I have a request.
Thank you.

Oh, not at all, you're right on time.
Perfect, actually.
(CHUCKLES)
(HORN HONKS)
(HORNS HONKING)
I hope you had a nice nap.
- Water.
- Ah...
- Thank you
- You're welcome.
MAN: You weren't kidding
about the traffic.
(FHA CHUCKLES)
Believe it or not,
I was expecting much worse.
- We're not too far away now.
- (EXHALES)
Uh... Ahem.
Thank you.
Oh... Thank you.
Most people would
just toss it to the side.
Most people are inconsiderate.
- (CHUCKLES)
- This car is spotless.
You must really like this job.
Well, it's decent money.
Plus, I get to choose
my own hours,
and I get to meet
a lot of interesting people.
You like to drive at night?
I have more time at night.
Can't it get dangerous?
Probably, but I've been lucky.
Plus, the app tells me
where I'm being called
and where I'm heading to so,
it's all right.
You're a very pretty woman.
You must get propositioned
all the time.
(CHUCKLES)
I'll be worried if they stop.
I'm not getting
any younger, you know.
(CHUCKLES)
I take it you're not married?
- No.
- May I ask you... why?
Never got around to it.
I have a brother, he has MS.
They detected it ten years ago.
He's 25 now.
He's everything to me.
I'm sure he is.
And I'm sure you're doing
everything you can.
I am.
It's just this past year...
It's gotten much worse.
Yeah.
(SIGHS)
MS can be like that.
A lot of people
who suffer from it
tend to live a lot longer
than they're expected to.
Are you a doctor?
No.
But I was a field medic
a long time ago.
I know a little
about a lot of things.
Jack of all trades, huh?
- Master of none, that's right.
- (CHUCKLES)
- Your English is very good.
- Well, thank you.
I studied English in college,
and that was a long time ago.
Well, I won't
talk about your age
if you don't
talk about my white beard.
(LAUGHS)
I watch a lot of movies as well,
also YouTube videos.
That's how
I practice my English,
but I still feel like
my vocabulary isn't there yet.
Well, you sound great to me.
Besides you're Thai,
you don't need to speak
perfect English.
I'm actually half,
my dad's English.
But I grew up here
and lived here all my life.
Who knows, you know,
maybe one day I'm going to be
living in a country where they only
speak English, and no more Thai.
Well, the office building
is just up ahead.
MAN:
Can you pull up in the front?
WOMAN: Mm-hm.
All right, we're here.
My name is Kai.
In Hawaiian it means "the sea."
Oh, that's very beautiful.
You're from Hawaii?
Yes.
My name is Fha.
It means "sky" in Thai.
Nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you, Fha.
How's business been tonight?
You're my first customer.
I just started my shift.
- If you don't mind me asking...
- Mm-hm?
How much do you make
on an average Friday night?
I would say 1,500 baht,
and 2,000 on a good night.
Sixty dollars?
Yeah, I think so, yes.
I have an offer for you.
If you decide to take it
you'll have to turn off the app.
Okay.
I have four more stops
after this one, all in the city.
One-thousand dollars,
that's the deposit.
You can quit anytime,
take the money.
But if you decide
to stay with me until the end,
I'll give you $5,000 in cash.
(CLEARS THROAT)
You don't have to do anything.
You don't even have to get out
of the car unless you want to.
I just need you to drive for me.
I need to go up to talk with a lawyer.
Wait for me here.
When I get back,
I'll answer any questions you may have.
All right?
Thank you.
Thank me at the end.
(IN THAI)
Hello.
Forty-third floor.
KAI: Thank you.
You're welcome.
(ELEVATOR DINGS)
- Good evening, Mr. Kahale.
- Good evening.
- How was your flight?
- It was quick.
WOMAN: That's nice.
Khun Cha Cha is actually
waiting for you.
Thank you.
Welcome to Bangkok,
Mr. Kahale.
Thank you so much, Khun Cha Cha.
Sorry to keep you waiting.
Not at all.
Please, have a seat.
Thank you.
You have a beautiful office.
Seems like
you've done quite well,
especially for being so young.
Yes, I have.
So, please, tell me.
How I can be of service?
You were a bit vague
on the phone,
something about an accident
and a family member.
Yes.
Actually, more than
just one family member,
the whole family.
Let me show you something.
(BAG UNZIPS)
(BAG ZIPS)
Thank you, Khun Cha Cha.
I'll see you tomorrow.
Thank you again for waiting.
Not a problem at all.
Did everything go okay?
- Very well.
- Good.
I'll be back tomorrow
around 4:00 pm
to follow up with details.
All right.
Would you please
do me a small favor?
Of course.
It's a bit unusual.
Uh, can you please
ask for a taxi,
and specifically, a pink one?
- I know it's silly.
- (LAUGHS)
But I saw a lot of the
pink taxis at the airport,
and with all my travels
I've never ridden in one.
- Sure, yeah.
- Okay, thank you.
Now, please let them know
there'll be two stops:
One at a 24-hour supermarket,
and then at my hotel,
the Hotel Millennium.
Okay, that's not
a problem at all.
It'll take
maybe about ten minutes.
Would you mind
waiting here? Or...
Uh, actually,
I prefer waiting outside.
- Okay.
- Um, I think my body
could use some fresh
non-airconditioned air.
- Yeah, okay. Great.
- Thank you again.
Have a good evening.
(ELEVATOR BEEPS)
Thank you.
(GASPS)
Oh, my gosh, you scared me.
Sorry, you should
lock the doors.
Everything went well?
The lawyer was very cooperative.
FHA: Well,
I don't like lawyers.
KAI: It's okay,
I don't either.
So, where next?
Thonglor Police Station, please.
I know, first a lawyer,
now police.
Mm-hm.
Are you in trouble?
No, it's nothing like that.
The lawyer
and the police officer
were working on a case that involved
my daughter and her family recently.
I'm here to repay them.
We're gonna get there
around 11:00 pm.
Will you be able
to see them then?
I'm sure
that won't be a problem.
(SIGHS)
(KAI GRUNTS)
(CHUCKLES)
Man, you fall asleep so easily.
Every moving vehicle.
I find I like the motion.
What do you like to do?
When you're not...
driving or taking care
of your brother?
I don't know.
I don't really have much time
to do anything else.
You must like something.
Well, what about you?
Fishing.
I like fishing.
- Fishing?
- Fishing.
Fishing sounds so boring.
(CHUCKLES)
Have you tried it?
No, but I know what it is,
and it looks boring.
Fish are like people.
Like people?
Like people.
How?
(INHALES)
Well, there are some fish
that are... really dumb
and easy to catch.
Others are extremely smart
and much more
difficult to catch.
And then there are the rare,
dangerous ones...
that can hurt or even kill you.
I actually find it relaxing...
the act of fishing.
I don't really care
whether I catch a fish or not.
I just like
standing on a beach...
watching the waves roll in...
listening to them
crash on the sand...
feeling the warm breeze
on my face...
smelling the salt...
and the scent
of flowers in the air.
That's how I fish.
That's what
my grandfather taught me.
That's what I like.
It's heaven to me.
It sounds very peaceful.
You should try it.
Maybe one day.
FHA: We're here.
Do you want me to park in front?
KAI: Yeah, park in front.
FHA: Okay.
(BAG ZIPS)
I'll be back soon.

This is for Lisa.
- Who the fuck is...
- (SILENCED GUNSHOT)
You're still here.
(SIGHS) To be honest,
I thought about leaving.
You saw I left the bag.
Did you open it?
But you know
there's cash inside?
Was it a test?
Oh, my God!
What happened to your head?
I tripped.
Hit the wall.
(DOOR OPENS, CLOSES)
(DOOR OPENS, CLOSES)
You need stitches,
maybe three or four.
- (FIRST AID KIT OPENS)
- No, I'm fine. Thank you.
Are you sure?
That's a deep cut.
I'm sure.
All right.
Breathe.
(EXHALES)
And, no, it wasn't a test.
Everything in life
is about making choices.
I chose to leave the bag.
You chose not to take it.
Life is about making choices
and dealing with
those consequences.
You understand that?
I understand.
Are you hungry?
Let's get something to eat.
We have some time.
What do you feel like eating?
Something local.
Well, I know just the place.
Okay.
MAN: I mean, come on, babe,
who fucking kills a lawyer
on a Friday night?
Stop it! You're on the scene?
MAN: I'm actually
just walking in now.
MAN:
Kai Kahale, American-Hawaiian.
Just arrived today,
he came straight here.
He had an appointment.
She led him to the vic's office,
next thing you know
he asks for a taxi,
she finds her boss shot dead.
Boom, a bullet to the head.
He walked out of here
as if it was nothing.
Guards confirmed it as well.
Like I said, cold-blooded.
Body slumped over.
Blood splattered everywhere
directly behind her.
This Kai Kahale sat directly
in front of her and shot her.
WOMAN: I'm looking at his ID.
Seems to be real.
Arrived this evening, 5:00 pm,
from Haneda.
TG 614, business class.
Connecting flight.
No alias?
Kai Kahale, born 1954. Retired.
Worked as a supervisor at a coffee
plantation, big one it seems.
He shot her with a silencer,
one shot.
He's definitely
not an office worker.
Get his picture out. Send it out
to the airports and the borders.
Who knows,
maybe we'll get lucky.
All right, get as much
information as you can
and drop me off at the office.
I left my car there.
(IN THAI)
Uncle, two of the usual, please.
Sure.
like to drink?
Uh...?
I'd recommend you
the chrysanthemum tea.
It's really refreshing.
Yeah?
- Perfect.
- Perfect.
(IN THAI) Uncle,
two chrysanthemum tea, please.
Go ahead.
- Thank you.
- Customer or boyfriend?
- He's a customer.
- That's good.
Because he looks even older than your dad.
(FHA GIGGLES)
Here you go.
Thank you.
You're a regular here?
Yeah, I try to come here
two or three times a week,
depends on my ride.
(CHUCKLES)
Good?
Good.
FHA:
Can I ask you a question now?
Anything.
Six-thousand dollars
is a lot of money,
and anyone would do it
for half or even less.
Probably.
But why 6,000?
Because I wanted you to say yes.
And I wanted you
to want to do it
and be happy doing it.
Okay...
But to be honest,
I can just take half,
it's more than enough for me.
No, we made a deal,
we shook on it.
Are you sure?
Yes.
Okay. Thank you.
You're welcome.
As I said, thank me after.
After what?
(SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE)
Oh, no, no, wait.
You need to put
some of this in first.
Some nuts.
Some... I don't know what
you call this in English.
But it will make it taste good.
Do you eat chili?
I do.
Thank you.
And then you need this,
this is like the secret recipe.
- Fish sauce.
- Fish sauce?
Okay, done, dig in.
Bon apptit.
- Bon apptit.
- Merci.
Mmm, smells so good.
It's good, right?
It's really good.
(CHUCKLES)
Great.
So, what's after this?
After.
(SOFT GRUNT)
We have a stop at a club.
- Mm-hm.
- Then we go to a hospital.
And the last stop is at a house.
You're meeting
five people today?
No, seven.
And you want to know why.
(CHUCKLES)
Yeah, sorry.
It's okay, human nature.
Not too long ago...
my daughter and her family
came to Thailand.
They got into an accident.
The people
I'll be seeing tonight
were involved with it.
I see.
Are they okay?
No.
They died.
Oh.
I'm... I'm sorry.
It's okay.
I was recently
in an accident as well.
White family...
They died too.
Drunk driver.
Happens everywhere in the world.
They have a kid.
A child.
I'm sorry.
(FHA AND UNCLE SPEAKING
FOREIGN LANGUAGE)
Thank you for bringing me here
and for paying for dinner.
- It was excellent.
- You're welcome.
And, uh, I'm sorry about
the not so happy conversation.
It's okay, it's life.
Uh...
Do you know
the Ibiza night club?
Yeah. Is that
our next destination?
- Yes.
- Okay.
KAI:
A cross, you're not Buddhist?
No.
I'm not Christian either.
Are you atheist?
What's atheist?
Atheist is someone who
does not believe in religion.
I believe in faith.
I believe it's good
that people have faith.
Do you pray?
Yeah.
May I ask to whom?
To my parents.
So why the cross?
It belonged to someone I knew.
I kept it as a reminder.
Good or bad reminder?
Good.
Of something bad I did.
You did something bad?
Yeah.
Did anyone get hurt?
I don't think so.
But you feel bad.
Yeah, I feel...
I... I don't know
how to explain.
Guilt.
You feel guilty.
Guilt is good.
It reminds us to do good.
That's why I kept the cross.
Drive around.
Stay close.
I'll call,
don't pick up the phone.
Meet me over there,
past the entrance,
within five minutes
of the phone call.
Okay.
Okay.
(GASPS)
What the fuck, man?
- Dominic!
- Holy fuck!
You messed up.
Stay put.
What... What do you...
What do you want?
You killed a family with your
Porsche, do you remember?
Do you remember?!
Yes, yes, yes, yes...
I... I remember.
Just don't... don't...
don't do anything.

Wait, no, don't...
Just don't kill...

Are you hurt?
I'm okay, hospital.

Take us there, please.
Please!
(INDISTINCT RADIO CHATTER)
MAN: What are you thinking?
I'm thinking there's more.
I'm thinking
that it's going to escalate.
And I'm thinking he's not
sleeping in a hotel somewhere.
We need to get everything
on these three people.
Wife's on it.
She should have something for us soon.
Isn't your son like a week old?
- Nine days.
- Talk about a slave driver.
You met my wife, right?
You know she doesn't rest.
(PHONE BUZZING)
Speak.
All right, thanks.
Seems like you're right again.
- Where?
- Ibiza Night Club.
Twenty-three-year-old,
shot through the chest.
- Witness all claim... old Asian man.
- All right.
Wait, boss, there's more.
The kid, he's not dead.
He's being transported
to the hospital as we speak.
You go to the club, get a positive
ID, take a look around,
and I'll head over
to the hospital.
Copy that.
Can I have a tissue, please?
Thank you.
(RUSTLING)
I'm not going to kill you.
Nothing has changed.
Our deal is still the deal.
It wasn't an accident, right,
me picking you up tonight?
No, it wasn't.
I know where you live.
I knew your routine.
Why?
The family that died
in your car...
that was my daughter...
her husband...
and her five-year-old daughter.
My grandchild.
(BREATHES DEEPLY)
(CRIES)
You gonna kill me?
It was possible... yes.
It was your car, your signature
on the witness sheet.
(CRYING)
I swear,
I don't want to kill you.
I don't even want to hurt you.
Can you give me
a bottle of water, please?
(CONSOLE OPENS)

Drink it.
(SIGHS)
What changed your mind?
That.
I gave that to my daughter...
on her 18th birthday.
(INHALES SHARPLY)
Anyone who can live
with as much guilt as you do...
over making a choice...
You had no option.
That person has a good heart.
You're going to kill him?
Yes.
What kind
of fucking place is this?
- Is this you?
- What the fuck do you mean?
Is this one of
your business associates?
Did you have
some sort of deal go bad?
Fuck you!
Fuck you for even thinking that.
How can I not think it?
How many times
have you put us in danger?
- Really?
- Yeah.
How many times
have you been shot at?
How many times has Dom?
That's right, none.
I have never put us in danger.
The life I provide you with,
ninety-nine percent of the
population would kill for.
So, I would appreciate
some respect!
The fact that I let you fuck your
little hussies is respect enough.
What, you think I don't know?
You think I'm some farang
who's blind
and doesn't know
what's going on?
(SCOFFS)
Nothing you do goes by me.
I can take my son
and walk away
with everything you got.
I know all
your dirty little secrets.
So the fact
that I'm still standing here,
that's all the respect
you're going to get.
And if my son dies...
I swear to God,
you'll regret the day
that you ever laid eyes on me.
(SMACKING)
(TIRES SCREECHING)
(CRASHING)
(MONITORS BEEPING)
MAN: He's a lucky boy.
The bullet went clean through.
All they had to do was clean
his wounds and stitch him up.
He's gonna be okay.
You're fired...
useless piece of shit!
You fucking shot my son?!
Wait, wait, wait!
What is this all about?
Listen, anything you want.
I have so much money.
Your money paid for everything.
Made my son-in-law
into a criminal.
You covered your son's crimes!
Yeah, you understand now.
I did it to protect my son.
Something any father would do.
Me too.
(SILENCED GUNSHOT)
The apple never falls
far from the tree.
He's just a kid.
(SILENCED GUNSHOTS)
You're old enough to kill...
you're old enough to die
(SILENCED GUNSHOT)
(MONITOR BEEPING RAPIDLY)
(EXHALES)
Well, what do you got?
WIFE: Hurt boobies.
Like father, like son.
I found connections between the cops
and the lawyers in over 20 cases.
From small traffic violations
to more serious crimes.
Example?
Drug and human trafficking,
possession.
You name it,
they worked on it together.
And for every instance
the defendants walked.
There was only one case involving
the Davis family though.
- Okay.
- A few months ago, the son was involved in an accident.
Four people died
and one was injured,
including a five-year-old girl.
A British family.
- Not American?
- No, British.
- The Coopers.
- And the son got acquitted.
Turns out the husband
was the one driving the taxi.
Paid the driver extra,
said he always wanted to drive in Bangkok.
Got confused,
drove right onto coming traffic.
And ran directly into the son.
Yeah,
that's the official version.
No, thanks to our
two dead friends, I'm sure.
Right.
Your thoughts?
My thoughts are the same,
the law is the law.
Vigilante justice
is still homicide.
(ELEVATOR DINGS)
KAI: Drop it!
Now!
Okay, man, relax.
I'm putting down the gun.
Look, I know everything.
The son, he killed
your family, right?
Son or daughter?
My daughter.
I understand, but no one
needs to get hurt anymore.
Oh, yes, one more person,
then it's done.
The only person
that is gonna get hurt is you.
If you continue this.
Put down the gun.
Come on, man,
let's handle this the right way.
The legal way.
Yeah, that didn't
work out too well
for my daughter and her family.
DETECTIVE: And that's on us,
and I apologize.
But there's
good and bad everywhere.
- Yeah.
- DETECTIVE: They were bad people
pretending to be good.
You are good doing bad,
and two wrongs
don't make it right, man.
Nothing will make this right,
not even this.
- So why are we doing this?
- Because I can.
Because no one else did.
Don't.
I don't want to shoot you,
I don't want to shoot her,
but I will.
Stay there.
(SILENCED GUNSHOT)
KAI: Go, go, go!
Go.
No!
DETECTIVE: Kai!
KAI: No, fuckin' stay there!
Kai, you're not gonna shoot me.
- I will shoot you!
- Let her go.
KAI: I'm not letting her go.
I'm not letting her go!
Kai, please let her go,
she didn't do anything.
- I don't want to hurt her!
- I don't have a gun.
Kai, calm down.
That's not you,
you're not that type of man.
- They're already dead.
- Stay there!
DETECTIVE: Kai, they're all dead.
Let her go, please.
- I'm begging you.
- I'm gonna shoot you.
I'm gonna shoot you.
I'll shoot you.
Kai, let her go!
You want to shoot me,
then shoot me!
But you fucking let her go now!
That's not you, Kai!
Let her go!
Okay?
I'm a father, just like you.
Just like you,
I'm a father, I understand,
but please, just let her go.
Please.
Kai... Kai, listen to me.
Let her go.
(GUNSHOTS)
(GRUNTING)
(SILENCED GUNSHOTS)
No!
That's on you!
That's on you!
No!
- (GRUNTS)
- Help! Help me!
Officer down! Two down!
Come on, bro, hang in there,
hang in there.
I didn't kill her, right?
No, you didn't, she's good.
She's going to make it. Okay.
(MUTTERING)
Fuck!
(GROANS)
(PANTING)
(WHIMPERS)
(GASPING)
(GRUNTS)
Fuck.
(PHONE BUZZING)
(PANTING)
This is a surprise.
Where are you?
I don't know.
FHA: There are cops everywhere.
Yeah, I know.
Didn't go quite as well
as planned.
Send me your location.
They don't know my car,
I'm close.
I'll come pick you up.
All right.
Park in the alley.
I'll see you when you pull up.
(EXHALES)
(WINCES)
(VEHICLE APPROACHES)
Stay low.
(SIRENS WAILING)
(SIGHS) Thank you.
Where are we going?
You're bleeding,
we need to fix you.
I'm fine.
(GRUNTS)
Bullet went through.
- How do you know?
- I felt it.
But I can't go to a hospital.
I'm serious.
The detective, he's good.
It won't take him long
before he figure's out
who the last target is.
And the last target himself...
He's gonna know what's
going on in the next hour...
and disappear.
We're not going to the hospital,
don't worry.
It's not too far away.
(IN THAI)
Thank you.
How are you holding up?
Better.
You did your best.
I heard everything.
Kid was 29.
He shot a nurse.
She was 24.
He's not a kid.
There's another target.
I know.
That's why I'm here.
You remember the accident?
There was one person
who was injured.
Didn't die.
Her name was Vanida Hoffsted.
She was a cab driver.
The girl that testified
at the trial.
Yeah.
Earlier tonight,
she picked up someone
from On Nut Road around 8:00 pm.
Two hours later,
dropped him off on Silom Road.
Near the law offices?
Well, where is she now?
She turned her app off
after that.
She was driving a new Volvo.
I have the plates.
We can track her.
It'll show up
if she's on the road.
- Put everything on it.
- I already ordered it.
Of course you did, babe.
- You saw the photos.
- Stop.
I know you're
a good-hearted person...
but he's still
a cold-blooded murderer.
He never was one.
He served in the military;
Two tours, 40 years ago.
After that,
not even a single blemish.
- Not even a traffic violation.
- He's still a murderer.
He's also a father.
Just like you.
What are you trying to say,
I should just drop everything?
No, but I know you.
You just watched your young
partner get shot and die.
You're operating
on emotions right now.
I'm just here
to give you some balance.
You're a good man, like him.
I don't want to see you
do a bad thing.
Two wrongs don't make a right.
I gotta go work.
Look at him.
Now look at me.
You're a good cop, babe.
But remember, you're a father
now, first and foremost.
Then a husband, then a cop.
- I love you.
- Ditto.
(TIRES SCREECH)
(KAI WINCES)
Oh, my God.
FHA: Okay, okay,
okay, okay.
Uh, do you have
some saline or some alcohol
- or something first?
- Oh, right, yes.
Oh, fuck.
- All right. Oh, thanks.
- Sorry.
Oh, my gosh,
that's a lot of blood.
Okay...
(EXHALES)
Are you ready?
Okay, this is gonna hurt.
(KAI GROANS)
(EXHALES)
(GROANS)
(BOTH EXHALE)
Why'd you come back?
(GROANS)
Sorry.
I had a chance to correct
the wrong that I did.
So I made a choice.
You said we live with the
consequences of our own choice.
I made a bad one before.
You didn't have a choice.
I know that now.
Ow.
- (SIGHS) Okay.
- (GROANS)
They gave me two million baht...
and this car.
They told me to say that I
wasn't the one who was driving.
That our car hit the other car.
If I didn't take the offer...
I believe that they were
probably going to kill me.
Yes.
They would have.
I spent most of my money
on my brother.
Paid in advance
for his hospital expenses.
There's not much left now.
Well, turn around,
you've got one more to go.
Ooh.
This is gonna hurt more.
(GROANS)
All right, last one.
Take a deep breath.
(GROANS)
Thank you.
It's gonna leave a big scar.
It's okay.
It's a good reminder.
Of what, tonight?
Of you.
Jack of all trades.
(CHUCKLES)
I actually have one more reason
why I came back.
I started driving two years ago.
Before this, I used to work
in hotels and restaurants.
I meet a lot of foreigners
everywhere I work.
All the foreigners,
they see me, they like me.
They offered money
for me to sleep with them.
But I'd never take it.
You understand?
You're the first man
that I've met... in my life
that showed me respect.
Who actually gave me
respect for what I do.
My work.
Not for what I look like.
That's why I came back.
That's the nicest thing anyone
has said to me since... my wife.
It's the truth.
Makes it nicer.
Stay here.
(DOOR OPENS)
(DOOR CLOSES)
Hold this.
There's $4,000 cash in this bag.
It's yours.
Do you know Bitcoin?
Bit... coin.
Yeah, I think so.
You know it's money?
Like electronic money.
I read something online,
but I'm not sure.
Okay, it's not hard
to find out about.
Inside that bag is a hard drive.
My life savings.
One-million, three-hundred and
eighty-nine thousand dollars.
It's yours.
No, no, no, no,
I cannot take this.
- No, no, no. Listen to me.
- No, no, I cannot.
- Listen to me. Listen to me.
- No.
I converted it to bitcoin.
I didn't know what else to do.
Uh, I was thinking, maybe,
I could donate it
to charity afterwards,
but there is no
afterwards for me.
What do you mean?
I mean, the last guy
is different from the others.
He's much more dangerous.
Much smarter.
Better guarded.
So you think you cannot win?
It was never about
winning for me.
Even if I survive,
I'll go to prison.
I should go to prison.
But I can't go there,
you understand?
I understand.
So you must take this.
Because if you take this,
you win.
And if you win, I win.
You take your brother
and you get some passports.
And you take him to some country
that doesn't speak Thai,
if that's what you really want.
Okay?
Okay.
(SIGHS)
Thank you.
You're welcome.
(CRIES)
FHA: Who is this man?
He's Japanese.
- Like Yakuza?
- No.
But he works with them.
He works with anyone
who can pay his price.
Which is... very high.
To do what?
To solve problems.
Like?
Like, if you kill someone
and you need to
get rid of the body.
If you get arrested for drunk
driving, killing a family...
he can fix it.
He's a really bad man then.
One of the worst.
A type of person who can do
a lot of bad things
and not get dirty for it.
Well, you seem to know
a lot about him.
I hired him.
What?
He arranged everything for me.
The bag, the gun,
the phone, everything.
Oh, well,
you're really smart, Mr. Kai.
(SIGHS)
(SEATBELT UNBUCKLES)
Don't go.
Make a choice.
Take me and my brother
to Hawaii.
We can go fishing.
That would be nice.
Fishing with you...
and your brother.
(SIGHS)
Good luck...
Khun Fha.

Hey!
Hey, you motherfucker!
You got all these guys
fighting for you,
you can't do it yourself?
Huh? One guy.
One guy!
Huh? You fucker!
Come out!
Come out!
You, deal with me, old man!
Tough guy!
Come here, fuck head!
Huh?
You want me to come inside?
I'll fucking come inside.
I'll find you.
(WHIMPERS)
Hold on a second.
You're really aggressive.
You've got nice hair.
I admire you, I really do.
You know, it's impressive
what you've done here tonight.
Well, I'm not finished yet.
And I'm only getting started.
As you know, I don't usually
involve myself personally
in anything.
I like to manipulate things.
But I'm really gonna enjoy this.
It's been a long time
since I killed anyone.
(GROANING)
(GRUNTS)
You shot a 22-year-old boy.
That's cold-blooded, dude.
(GRUNTS)
Yeah, well... I'm not done yet.
You Hawaiian man.
They certainly don't
make 'em like you anymore.
You're pissed at me because
I helped some rich parents
get their son off.
I didn't kill your family.
They'd be dead
if I stepped in or not.
So is this all worth it?
Yeah.
It's worth it.
Maybe.
I took my shot.
Now you take yours.
(BOTH GRUNTING)
(GROANS)
(BOTH GRUNTING)
Come on!
(PANTING)
Ow, fuck!
Shit.
Goddamn.
Kai!
I should just shoot you.
Kai, Kai...
- (GRUNTS)
- It's me.
Who the fuck are you?
Who the fuck are you?
You're the cab driver.
She's not involved.
Wait, you actually
care about her?
She took bribe money.
Yeah, you didn't
give her a choice.
(CHUCKLES)
True. Details.
Let her go.
How the fuck
are you still standing?
Please...
let her go.
(CHUCKLES)
I'm gonna have to say no.
But I'm gonna be a nice guy.
I'm gonna give you a choice.
Who do I shoot first?
Sorry.
Me too.
Her.
Wise choice.
(GUNSHOT)
Is this on me too?
I'm sorry about the cop.
And the nurse.
She has all the evidence
to clear my family's name.
Please, do it.
I held her hostage.
I threatened her brother.
I forced her into this.
(GRUNTS)
Please, call an ambulance.
I already have.
I'm dead.
You know that.
I know I don't deserve it...
but I have a request.
Thank you.
