so so

What's going on, Janice? Is everything okay?

Come here! Get him!

She'll have to do.

Bring her.

Before you leave, lock it up, will you? Mm-hmm.

Oh, yeah. Come here, baby.

Ready? 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6,

7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14.

Halt!

Chops. Ready?

1, 2, 3, 4.

Yeah.

I'll get there as soon as I can.

Sloan.

It's been a long time.

Thanks for coming.

I appreciate it.

You know, the only time you've ever asked me over here in all the years I've

known you was to tell me that you don't want me to see your daughter again.

Sloan.

Janice is in trouble.

What do you mean?

Well, two nights ago, they found Richard beaten to death.

And Janice is missing.

Well, they got some good people in the Manila police force.

They'll find her.

For some reason, they don't want to talk about it. They say it's local business,

whatever that means.

Well, maybe it was that Richard was involved with some bad people.

But what the hell do you want me to do about it?

You've lived in Manila for 17 years.

You've still got connections there, don't you?

Yeah, I've got connections there, but they're not going to stick their noses

into other people's business.

Not for you.

Sloan, look, I want my daughter back.

I'll give you a blank check.

Fill it out.

Any amount you want.

If I do it, I do it for Janice.

And it's going to cost you plenty.

Incidentally, you remember Cynthia, Richard's sister?

She'll meet you in the Philippines.

Look, call right away and tell her to leave Manila.

Maybe she can help.

She's just gonna get in my way.

She'll probably end up like her brother.

Keep me posted.

Yeah, I'll let you know.

Hi Cindy Sorry about your brother Cynthia We've never

been sorry about anything in your life so long.

Well, I hope to see you in another 12 years.

I found out you were coming here for Mr. Tracy.

Aw, hell, I thought it was just a chance meeting.

Look, what do you say we have a drink?

All right.

But I want to drink alone.

Bye-bye. Excuse me.

You know, you're cutting into my drinking time here.

You're still a jerk, you know that?

Oh, you flew 6,000 miles to tell me that?

Janice's father thought it might be helpful if we talked.

Well, we talked.

It was very helpful. Now, goodbye.

So we were like best buddies in high school, weren't we? Not as I remember,

Sloan.

What in the hell is that?

You remember our friend Richard Thursby?

32 years old.

He suffered a series of blows.

Probably kicks, maybe a fall.

Ugly mess, huh?

That's not what killed him, though.

He suffered a massive blow on the top of his head.

Whatever it was, continued right through the skull.

He's dog food now.

He's right.

So, what can you tell me about Janice?

She's missing.

Oh, no kidding.

Look, can I get a copy of the file on the case?

What are you gonna do, Sloan? Get me into a lot of trouble?

Look Sal as far as I'm concerned you and I have never met.

I wish it were true Okay, come on

How

did you find me from 156 I figured you'd stay in the best on Mr. Tracy's money.

Where'd you get those police files?

You know, you're a pain in the ass, Cynthia.

I've been called worse.

Well, I was being polite.

Is that what they're wearing in New York these days?

Look, Sloan, I don't like you any more than you like me.

We're down here for the same reasons.

You're wrong.

You're here to settle your brother's business.

I'm here to find Janice. There's a world of difference.

I want to go with you to find Janice.

Look, I'll give it to you straight.

You can't fight. You got a big mouth and about as much common sense as a

brontosaurus. I don't want you around.

You egotistical bastard.

I'll find her myself.

Sure. Look, put your brother on a plane.

Go back to New York and do whatever the hell it is you do there.

I'm a Rider Sloan.

I have a bestseller on the list.

Well, I don't read.

You could learn it.

Mama Saimi, you are still the most beautiful woman in the world.

And you still lie good, Philip.

Hey, Mama.

How are you? Come in.

Oh, I can't, Mama. I'm here on business. I got to find Pete.

Oh, Pete.

Well, have you tried the jails?

What happened, Mama?

Neely!

Neely sees him in town sometimes.

Wow.

If I would have known you were going to turn out so beautiful, I would have

never left Manila.

Perhaps you should take her to the States with you.

Well, maybe I will, Mama, but I got to find Pete first.

I heard he lives at Linda's.

It's a whorehouse.

And a hotel.

That's right, Mama, I forgot.

Well, I'll come by and see you before I leave, all right?

OK.

Bye bye.

Bye, Sloane.

Sit down. Sit down.

Sit down.

Having fun?

Yeah!

A bit shouldn't have kicked me.

Get the hell out of here. I have a knife.

It's okay. It's Sloan.

Throwing a party, Cindy?

Cynthia.

It's gonna be damned hard to sell this house after all the damage you've done.

You're welcome.

You know, I wasn't surprised when your husband came to me with his business

proposal.

I was surprised when he was stupid enough to cross me.

That money that Richard stole for himself is mine.

Where's the money?

I don't know what you're talking about.

Perhaps this will help.

Arthur, my God!

These past few days with us have not been very helpful.

Perhaps a stay with Arthur will be.

You can keep me here forever.

I don't know anything.

I'll take your last suggestion into serious consideration.

Hey, Joe, come on in.

We've got plenty of girls.

Have a good time.

What's your name?

Wendy.

Wendy?

Yeah. What's your name?

My name is Sloan.

Sloan.

Wait a

minute.

Wait, wait, wait.

Okay, all I need is a day.

Okay? I just made a mistake of the dates.

What's happening, Pete?

We're going, friend.

Oh, God.

Hey, let's get out of here.

I did pretty good, didn't I? Ah, you were dynamite.

Excuse me.

I heard you married Janice or something.

Damn near. Let's put it that way. Damn near. Come on, Sloan. Women are trouble.

Give me a trap any time.

Who said she wasn't?

I know you.

You know, I was a cop in L.A. for three years. A cop?

You're putting me on. Would you like me to believe that?

Hey, let's find some women.

Look, I'm broke.

Okay. Well, I'm not.

Okay. Hey, is the Baldwin still happening? Sure.

You bet.

Come on, what are we doing here? Let's go.

I'm back in the saddle again.

It's been a long time, Sloan.

The jack of hearts came up.

Mama-san.

Come here.

Sloan.

So, how's my future look, Mama-san?

You won't be disappointed tonight.

Come along with me.

Hello, Mama-san.

You can choose who you like.

No way, pal. You first.

Oh, the keys.

I remember the keys.

Oh, boy.

The lucky number is... Ta-da!

Number... 10!

Where are you girls going? The party's in room 10.

About face.

Well, you'll have to do.

Hello,

Sloane.

Nay, Lee.

What the hell are you doing here?

I told you I'd see you again someday.

Well, so you did.

But so much, so soon. What would Mama say?

She'd say, I'm a big girl now.

Oh, my gosh, you've grown.

And so have I.

So, uh, what kind of car was stolen, Sloan?

I'll need a good picture of it.

It's a Mercedes.

I got the license number.

Look, lots of Mercedes here.

Give me a picture to make sure.

What is this, Beverly Hills?

All right, all right, all right. Okay, okay, uh, just give me a recent picture

of Janice and I'll, uh, I'll show it around, okay?

What is this?

A whole lot of money.

Big tipper.

Yeah. Use that to work with, all right?

And, uh, pay your bills, Pete.

Okay, I'll do that.

I'll meet you at the hotel around, let's say, 6 o'clock.

Mm-hmm.

Wait for me.

Got it?

No problem, Sloan.

Who is it?

Are you drunk?

No, I was drunk last night.

Can I come in?

Well, thank you.

Oh,

this is nice.

Must be on Mr. Tracy's money.

Taken off?

You're in great shape to find Janice.

Look, I, uh... I'm really sorry about yesterday. That's the biggest bullshit

line I ever heard.

No snappy retorts long?

You're a mess after just a few drinks.

Yes, I'm packing.

No, I'm not going home. I'm going to look for Janice.

Well, I've been thinking about what you said about us working together.

But I can't fight.

I've got a big mouth and the common sense of a dinosaur, remember?

No, that was a brontosaurus.

The other ones are the little tiny pea brains.

Well, you certainly know your dinosaur, Sloane.

So where are you going to look?

I thought I'd head south along the coast.

If they are just a gang, they're probably going to stay pretty close to

the city.

There's not much to steal outside of Manila.

What about Richard's body?

I can't do anything about my brother.

Maybe I can do something about my best friend.

Look, let's travel together. We'll save some time.

What is it you want?

You never do anything unless it fits your plans.

I must have something you want.

Well, I do need a picture of Janice and a recent picture of the car.

Listen, would you listen to me for a second?

You're the girl that almost got raped yesterday.

What are you gonna do if you find her?

You gonna ask them politely to give her up? You might be joining her.

You need me, and unfortunately, I need you.

Where do we start, Sloan?

Well, I figure south.

Good idea.

I'll tell you what.

You take the motel, I'll take the bar.

I'll take the bar.

Hello?

Hi there.

I'm looking for my girlfriend.

Maybe you've seen her?

No.

Well, thanks anyway.

We've got trouble.

What?

That guy at the desk.

He went right for the phone when I showed him the pictures.

You mean him?

Yeah.

I think you should leave, please.

Yeah, I think you're right.

Let's go.

What do you want here, man?

I just want to get by, pal.

You're in big trouble.

I think you better move that stick before I shove it up your fucking ass.

Yeah? Try it.

You see this?

Look. You see her? I want her back. You got that?

You tell Overhatcher I want her back unharmed.

You hear me?

Yeah.

Sweet

dreams,

pal. But they know where she is.

Just get in the car.

love me

Thank you.

Ah!

I'm just taking a bath, that's all.

Sloan, you're crazy.

Here you are, Sloan. I thought you said six.

Well, I had a slight inconvenience.

Pete, have the pleasure of meeting Cindy.

Cynthia. Hi, Pete. So, what'd you find out?

Well, I can't be absolutely sure. I heard, uh, she's up north.

Malolas. Well, you heard wrong. She's south.

You saw her?

No, but we raised a little attention down there.

Someone left a snake in our goddamn car.

A snake?

Uh, maybe you came too close to the man who took her.

That's who we want.

I think you better show me this place up north.

What about the sons of bitches that killed Richard?

Look, that's for the police.

I just want to find Janice, get my money, and I'm out of here.

You selfish little prick!

Be ready at five.

How far is this place, Pete?

Let's sit up ahead, Greenberg.

Hi. Any chance of you seeing the girl in this picture or the car?

No.

Are you sure?

Yes. Never?

No.

Nice tip, Pete.

Shh.

That's great.

Sloan.

You didn't happen to see who might have done this, did you?

Might have picked up a nail.

A nail?

Someone just ripped our tire to shreds.

Might have been a nail. I was working in the back on transmission.

I just came out.

Well, do you have anything to replace them?

Not that size.

Well, how long would it take to get something that size?

If I go today, probably tomorrow.

Please do that. Money's no object.

I'd like you to take a look at the... The man doesn't want to see pictures.

He's got a transmission to fix, some tires to order.

Come on.

Here, move it in.

Well, we're lucky they had the honeymoon suite open.

You're not sleeping here.

Look, we got two rooms, so you have two choices.

You can sleep in Pete's room. Forget it. Or you can sleep here.

We'll sleep here.

Why didn't you let me show the mechanic Janice's picture?

Because I don't think he's a mechanic, that's why.

Why not?

Because he said he was working on transmission and he's cleaning down to

his fingernails. Does that sound right to you?

None of this sounds right.

What's going on?

I think we got close yesterday. Now this is their plan B.

Meaning what?

In case that snake didn't work, they're going to strand us out here in the

middle of nowhere.

So Pete set us up.

Ah, he probably just heard what they wanted to hear. That's all.

I don't know.

Well, I'll tell you one thing. If they're going to all this trouble,

Janice has to be alive.

Well, let's hope so.

So now what do we do?

What can we do we have to wait see what their next move is

I went to the States for a while.

Had a job there.

Why'd you come back?

Well, the streets were not lined with gold, my friend.

Just poverty and crime and hurt and pain.

And I had all of that here.

Take Cynthia home, Sloan.

Forget this.

You know, that's exactly what the police told me, Pete.

Oh, the police are the same anywhere.

You are in their territory.

I heard you messed up a couple of Filipinos.

That couldn't be helped.

Look, you can't do that, Sloan.

You can't mess in local business, even if you are chasing the bad guys.

You understand?

I need to talk to you. Shut up for a minute.

Did you know we were going to get set up here, Pete?

Not until the tires were slashed.

See, a lot of people really want both of you to go home.

Look at the card, Sloane.

Where'd you get this?

Richard's Mercedes.

Where? In the garage.

I'm getting real tired of this.

Be careful.

Come on, what's happening, Pete?

All I know is what I heard.

I want to believe you're not setting me up, Pete.

Maybe I just trust you when you're scared.

Come on, let's go check that car.

Right. What's the matter?

They didn't even try to change the plates. Um, so what?

Come on, Pete.

You know you don't drive around in a stolen car with hot plates.

What's it mean?

It means they want us to find this car. Look at it.

If it were stripped down, it'd bring a fortune and parts alone.

Look, a man was killed for this, and this isn't an easy thing to get rid of.

No, I don't buy it, Pete.

Mr. Sloan, I told you your car won't be ready until tomorrow.

I want the woman that owns that car.

I own that car.

We can make sure you leave Manila.

We'll take you to the airport.

Come on, take me.

Ah!

piss me off.

Hello.

Why the hell didn't he put you in the hospital?

It's been a long night. Forget it.

I was out an hour after I was arrested. They explained what we found.

But that went over great.

What happened to Pete Saimi?

Pete never made it in. His bail was ready.

I see.

This probably won't do any good, but it would be wise to get out of Manila.

Yeah, you're right. It won't do any good.

But thanks.

What happened to Richard Thursby wasn't much of a surprise, Sloan. Take her and

go home.

Well, you know me, Sal. I was never much of a troublemaker.

Like hell.

See you around, Sloan.

Probably.

Oh!

It is going to be a beautiful evening, Pete.

Don't miss it.

What?

I was asleep.

You are pathetic.

I'm a businessman, Pete.

When I waste my day,

My business suffers.

I understand.

I don't think you do.

Maybe your loyalties are divided in favor of your old friends.

No. Six of my men are dead since your friend arrived.

Now that's bad business for both of us.

Isn't it?

I want him dead.

That won't be easy.

Well, that's not the answer I hoped for.

Nellie.

It would be convenient if you delivered Sloane in Patangas.

I'd hate to see your sister suffer the same fate as the other

unfortunates.

My choices appear limited.

The face, gentlemen.

This has to be visual.

It has to show.

Hey, you're looking better already, pal.

Oh, thanks, Sloan.

Uh-oh, he's talking, too.

Look, my bear was waiting for me before we got to the jail.

Yeah, I know.

I went out.

I looked for you, too.

But I took a ride to a party.

Well, who gave that party?

Chancey. He's very interested in both of you. Oh, boy.

Who's he?

Chinese godfather.

Why all this production for Janice?

They're gonna get you out if you keep following her.

Last night was nothing.

Yeah, well, you just took the words right out of my mouth.

Leave Manila, Sloan.

You can't fight this.

I don't like being pushed, Pete. You know that.

Hey.

Check in on you later.

This is getting good.

Just like a Humphrey Bogart movie.

First, the distrustful brother.

Then, the mysterious sister with an ominous message.

Turn it off. It's not a game.

Aren't you ready to throw in the towel?

Why should I?

You know she's alive.

I'm just surprised you aren't on the phone to Mr. Tracy and back to your

business. I think you better get one thing straight right now.

I'm leaving Manila with Janice, not before.

Why don't you let him use his connections to put pressure on the

police? For Christ's sake, Sloan, nobody's going to help us, and you can't

do it alone.

I think you better go home, Cynthia, because you've finally gotten in my way.

You're crazy, Sloan.

Listen to me.

A gang of thugs don't throw all this heat at a couple of Americans asking a

few questions. You understand that?

We're in some deep shit here. It's no game.

I don't trust the police and I don't trust anybody's connections or any of

that shit.

Listen.

Why don't we eat out the razor blades and just cut up our past?

Just forget about it.

We'll decide what we're gonna do about Janice and we'll just do it. No more

fighting, no more bullshit, no more nothing.

Can we do it?

Probably not.

But we can try.

You know, I've been thinking, Cindy, I think you should go home.

I think I can pull it off a lot easier without you.

What if we do all this and she is dead?

You ever think about that?

Yeah, it's crossed my mind.

But, uh...

It's the risk that makes it so important.

If a person doesn't care, then they don't exist.

That's from my book, you horse's ass!

Slow,

would you mind holding me in your arms for a minute?

Ben, can I play with the train?

You're an idiot, you know that?

That wasn't a minute.

Shut up, Sloane.

I want you to know this is a one-time thing, Sloane.

I just need someone to love me right now.

God, do we have to qualify this, too?

Okay. I'll jump your bones and then forget all about you.

You wish.

Let's go.

Morning. Thanks.

Was it good for you, too?

Who are you supposed to be, G.I. Joe?

Look, Pete's waiting. Let's go.

You in or out?

How are we gonna get out of the hotel dressed like this?

Well, I figured the elevator.

You're kidding.

Look, you've got five minutes. If you're gonna go, let's go.

I'm going.

You don't think that's really gonna work in there, do you?

Might. And why do I have to wear this stupid cap?

Because it makes you look macho. Is that good?

Absolutely.

If we're attacked, they might think you're a man and shoot you first.

That'll give me an extra chance to get another shot in. And I am good with a

.45.

Aren't we drawing attention to ourselves?

I hope so, or keep the innocent bystanders out of the way.

You ready?

Mm-hmm.

All right, let's go.

We're not gonna make it in your car, Sloan. We're not taking my car.

Oh, welcome to Manila.

They'll be waiting for us on the road, Sloan. But we're not taking the road,

though.

What's this?

Give me a hand.

We're touring Manila.

Voila!

Pretty nice, huh?

They won't be ready for this. Let's go.

Okay.

I don't think I'm ready for this.

Whoops, hope it's a rental.

They're still up there.

Keep you guard the back. Okay Sloan you hit anybody that comes out this door and

I mean it Party's over men.

Remember me.

I'm still looking for Janice.

Where are you going?

I'm an arm Go ahead

Don't even think about moving. All right.

Keep your hands on the bar.

Now I'm going to ask everyone in this room once.

Then I'm going to blow your fucking heads off.

Where is she?

Where is she, damn it?

In Batangas.

Where the hell is that, Pete?

Uh, 30, 40 miles.

In Batangas?

No. There's a cave.

A secret place by the water.

Do you believe him, Sloan?

Buck, I don't know.

I could show you the place.

Is there a cave there?

Yes. All right, let's go.

Move!

Nothing's changed sir. Pay them a personal visit.

Let's go

This bastard doesn't know where he's going, Sloan.

Let's get back on the road.

Only a little farther.

It's the only way we can get in there without being seen. It's a trap. That's

what I think, Sloan.

They'll get us up here where nobody will miss us. And boom.

What do you think, Sloan?

I think you'd all shut up and let me drive.

You've got a problem.

They've been here.

I'll show you something.

Alright, let's see this cave.

Come on.

What is this place?

It's a place where people used to come to.

No one comes here anymore.

Well, let's check it out.

I'll have to stay out here.

Why?

I'm scared to go in.

I'll buy that.

Here hold on to this.

Thanks

Check this out My god, we just

missed the party Wait

I

killed

him! Good

Let's go home, baby.

Arthur Margolis, you're alive.

You know who's in there? The United States Army.

That's who.

Good.

Did you hear something?

No.

Stay here.

I need a little help out here. Pete!

Thanks.

How many are there?

At least one.

What's behind those bars?

Put those guys down!

Come on, Sloan!

See if they move it!

Put it down real easy, Sloan.

We're never gonna make it out of here now.

You set us up all along, Pete.

You don't understand, Sloan, how things are.

I guess not.

We can take these guys together.

She and her husband caused all of this.

Justin Thursby stole a lot of money from Interlife.

She knows where it is.

I don't. I never have. What the hell is Interlife?

It's worldwide like a religion.

Margolis and Richards started it.

Come on, Pete, don't do this.

We can take these guys now.

Sure, Sloan.

Chancey can take me and my family anytime he wants to.

You go back to the States. Forget all of this.

Don't do this, Pete.

No!

You've always been my best friend Pete.

I hope you're worth this.

Give me that belt What

are you gonna do

watch

Oh,

man!

Come on, stay close.

We'll get out of here.

Come on.

Keep moving.

Come on we're out

Hmm. That you keepin' busy?

Meet me at the helicopter.

Amazing bastard.

So, you all set to go home? Yep.

It's gonna be a long trip for both of us.

You know, I was sure you were gonna go after Chauncey as soon as you got out of

the hospital.

Well, you know, I came here for Janice and I got Janice. No sense in staying

around here and getting killed.

You going back to New York?

Starting a new book.

About all this?

This whole thing reads like fiction.

No publisher touching.

Well, goodbye, Sloan, and thanks. Bye-bye.

Listen, you two have a good flight, huh?

And maybe I'll see you in another 12 years.

Come on.

Hey, how you doing?

I'm fine. Much better, thank you. Well, that's good.

You know, if anything I can do for you at all, Sloan, let me know, huh? I just

might take you up on that, Mr.

Margolis. The plane's all set and ready to go, sir.

Hey, have a good flight.

Sure will. Thanks again.

So long. Stay out of caves.

Going home, Sloan?

Look at this, Sal.

No, actually, I'm just going for a little joyride today.

I'm sure I don't want to hear about it.

Well, it's always been exciting having you on the island, Sloan, but maybe you

should go home while you can.

As a matter of fact, Sal, I'm going to finish my business today and leave

tomorrow.

Can't say it's been fun, Sloan.

Oh, bullshit.

Come here.

Look,

do me a favor, will you?

Leave Chansey to us.

No problem, pal.

Yeah. See you.

Hey, thanks, Sal. Take it easy.

You're leaving for Los Angeles tomorrow?

Actually, I've always wanted to see Brazil.

I just might take you with me.

Off we go into the wild... My

dear

friend Chauncey, I have good news for you.

There will only be a limited investigation into your activities with

Margolis. Thank you Ramon.

I appreciate your services. Thank you gentlemen To law and order

And to my lawyers to whom I owe this freedom today

Hello boys!
