He was just a Falang who
got lucky and married into a rich Thai family
Mike
(Shocked)
What he's a Falang?
Veechi
Didn't
you know? Boy you didn't do your homework did you?
Sounds
like you guys are the best thing that has happened to him, I guess he
is waiting for you to do the dirty work for him.
Let the
girl go and to leave the country. I can help you get out of Thailand.
I can give you some cash to tied you over too, I hear Cambodia is
nice
Mike
You're
probably right. Thanks for everything old man, I'll keep in touch
Mike turns to leave
Veechi
Oh, one last thing Mike
Mike
Yes
Veechi
Do you know why John doesn't call me anymore?

The bodyguard's car driving slowly along a quiet street, Dom and
Ron inside
Cut to:
Int.
BMW Car
Dom in the drivers seat and Ron in the passengers seat with a
tracking device. Ron is also watching a portable DVD player
Dom
How
can watch that rubbish ALL the time
Ron
Van
Dams not rubbish, he's quite cool
Dom
Come
on you don't believe those moves, do you? It's just movie stuff
Ron
No,
no, no it's true I tried those moves out before, they work
Dom
Like
crap you did. Now if you watch a real fighter like Bruce Lee...
Ron
Oh no.
We're not getting into this again. You agreed we wouldn't get into
this argument again
Dom
Turn
that off, we should be looking for the signal anyway
Ron turns the DVD player
off
Dom
Man
this is like finding a needle in a hay stack
Ron
Yes
this is difficult
Dom
I
can't figure out why Jeffrey won't involve the Police
Ron
He said we could handle it
better, I am quiet proud that he thinks so
Dom
But it is such a small
amount of money involved
Ron
It is
still his money, not theirs, and he is paying us well
Dom
We've
been protecting Pooh for so long, it feels like I have lost a sister
Ron
Yes, I
feel the same too
Doms mobile phone rings. He answers
Dom
Hello
Jeffrey
Just calling to remind you
NOT to take any action until I tell you what to do.
Dom
Yes
sir

Johns Dream
Int.
The Hideout
John is sitting in the lounge. Music is playing from the TV
(playing Yings new single?) by himself. No one else is in the room.
Pooh enters, dressed in her nightdress (sexy but not revealing),
she dances over to him, very seductive.
John is sitting back, very relaxed, big smile on his face
Pooh smiles down at John, sits into his lap, kisses him on the
cheek. Johns eyes light up.
Pooh pulls out a huge carving knife
Pooh
Now you pay for everything
John screams like a little girl, several times until he
wakes up.
Cut to:
Int.
The Hideout
Conan is watching music TV with the same song from the previous
scene continuing
Conan, Pooh and Daniel are all looking at John
Conan
John whats wrong?
John
(Confused, looking around)
I had a nightmare
Conan
Was it bad?
John
Oh, 50/50
Conan and John continue to watch TV
Daniel is talking to Pooh
Pooh
As I was saying, I then
went to school in America to study buiness. I have been there for 3
years now. I barely saw my father during that time
Daniel
What about your mother, did
she see you?
Pooh
My mother died in a car
accident
Daniel
Oh, I
am sorry to hear that
Pooh
Don't worry it was a long
time ago when I was a little child, I barely remember her.
What about you, how did you
end up here in Thailand?
Daniel
I was backpacking through
here 5 years ago and I met these guys, it seems like only yesterday
that I arrived here
Pooh
Don't you want to go back?
What about your family?
Daniel
(Looks down) I don't have
any family, these guys are my family
Pooh
Why did you guys do this?
Why did you kidnap me?
Daniel
We were desperate for
money, we have all run out. It was a stupid idea but we had to do
something
(Smiles at Pooh)
Mike comes in and heads straight to Pooh
Mike
How old are you now?
Pooh
I turn 21 this year, why?
Mike
There
is a rumour your father wants you dead
Pooh
(Laughs
in his face)
Mike
I know
it sounds strange but listen to what I have to say. I heard that
Jeffrey is a trustee for your estate, and that if you died then he
inherits it all.
Pooh
Of
course he would, he's my father, you idiot. Who else would I leave it
to? The dog?
Mike
That's
why he wants you dead
Pooh
What
kind of trick are you trying to pull? How stupid do you think I am?
Mike
OK,
you explain this then – why did he contact the media? Why did he
get the police involved? Why didn't he pay that small ransom? Why is
he causing as much trouble as he can at every step of the way? If we
followed through with our threats you would be dead 10 times over by
now.
Pooh
He has
his reasons – remember he is a lot smarter than you guys are.
Everyone is involved in
this serious conversation, except Conan.
In the background we see
Conan trying to put a jigsaw puzzle piece in by force at different
points (or something else that displays stupidity)
Mike
OK,
lets test my theory and I will prove to you that I am right. What
is his private number?
Pooh
Call
him on 0905550
Mike pulls out his mobile phone puts it on loud speaker
and starts to call
John
Are
you crazy man? They can track the mobile phone
Mike
Relax
it is anonymous prepay and it takes 5 minutes to get a signal – IF
they are ready and setup to track
The mobile phone starts to ring Jeffreys phone
Int.
The Hideout and Jeffreys Office In Mansion
Jeffrey
Hello.
Who is this?
Mike
This
is your daughters babysitter
Jeffrey
Who
gave you this number?
Mike
Your daughter gave it to me
after I broke her arms
Jeffrey
What do you want then?
Mike
Now I want 10 million Baht
Jeffrey
Laughing, I told you
already I can't pay the money
Mike
You can't pay the money OR
you won't pay the money
Jeffrey
(Silence)
Mike
I want 10 million Baht or
we let her go
Jeffrey
What do you mean, let her
go?
Mike
I know the story, I know
you get the inheritance if she dies, and if she doesn't die you loose
control of most of your empire.
Maybe I should tell your
daughter the story.
Jeffrey
Let us suppose that is
true, she won't believe you anyway
Mike
But what if she believes us
enough to change her will, to talk to the police, to take a few
precautions....
Jeffrey
This is ridiculous
Mike
10 million and we will kill
her for you, this is perfect for you, we take the risk, we take the
fall, you appear the good guy, you have police see you pay the
ransom. The perfect alibi you have police witnesses, and we kill her
to 'destroy the evidence'
Jeffrey
You are insane
Mike
Oh yeah. Goodbye Jeffrey
Jeffrey
Wait! Wait! OK
Mike
OK what?
Jeffrey
(Softly) Kill her
Pooh
Daddy, how could you?
Mike
Jeffrey, Now you are in
serious trouble *click and hangs up
(Turns to Pooh) Believe us
now?
Pooh sits silent, she is in shock, she turns around to
Daniel and hugs close to him

The office is situated on the 40th floor of a high
rise, large windows line every wall – looking out across the

The office itself is elaborately furnished. Jeffrey has a large

Jeffrey
(To
himself) Godammit, stupid idiots, I can't believe this is happening
to me, damn, damn, damn
Jeffrey is taking is
frustrations out beating the phone against the table, the phone
breaks in half. Suddenly the phone rings, surprising him
Jeffrey
Hello?
No answer, he looks at the

the loose wire in place

backup, what is the address?
Dom

Pooh
I can't believe my daddy
would do this to me.
Daniel
Don't worry, I won't let
him hurt you. Shh, shhh
(Daniel looking into her
eyes) I promise you – I won't let him hurt you
Mike
(Interrupting) Guys we need
to leave, we need to disappear
Pooh
What about me now?
Mike
Go to the nearest police,
tell them everything, tell them about your father, get protection.
John
Pooh, I know we had our
differences before, but that is all in the past, let's bury our
differences... OK?
Pooh
OK, whatever
John
Cool. Tell the Police you
can't recognise the kidnappers
Conan notices something on Daniel
Conan
Hey Dan why you wearing
women's jewellery?
John takes a look
John
Oh far out, this is a
tracking device
Conan
Wow Daniel. Is someone
looking for you?
They look at Conan. Conan stares blankly at them, waiting for an
answer
Dan unties Pooh
Daniel
Pooh, I am worried for you.
Go to the nearest police station as fast as she can
Pooh
If something happens,
remember that my two bodyguards Dom and Ron are trusted friends, if I
don't make it you should contact them, please
(Pause) Oh, and ahh...
thank you for kidnapping me.
If it wasn't for you guys I
would be dead by now
Pooh leaves the room
John
Hey guys I think she likes
me
Conan
Yeah!
Conan high fives John
Mike and Daniel can't believe these two idiots.
