But not as hard as his conscience when he refuses to help a starving man and his little girl. Haunted by the images of Kiran and Annika, Caden attempts to right his wrong-only to discover Kiran has been forced to sell his own daughter.

She just asked me

to Pray for her, that's all.

Mom, really?

Stay out of my business.

Just let it go.

Let it go.

Mom, food, Please.

- Hey, do not be like that.

- I'm kidding.

- Do not be like that.

- I'm just kidding.

- Sandwiches?

- Yeah.

So, how's

your life, kiddo?

You get

that job yet?

Life? Life is good.

Thanks.

The job? No.

I've been too busy

Planning my trip to India.

- India?

- Yeah.

No, I don't...

I don't think so. You made

a Promise to your mother...

...you were getting a job this summer.

Be your own man

and take on responsibilities.

- You remember any of that?

- Yeah.

I don't know if you misunderstood.

I'm not asking you

because I don't need your Permission.

I need hers.

Mom, India.

You know what?

I think India's great.

- What?

- Exactly.

- It's great.

- Now I don't have to lie to Dad.

I'm kidding, I'm kidding.

So, you're in?

That depends.

You have to define "in. "

Please, Please,

Please define "in. "

All right, well.

Dad said that you'd have to

sign off on the trip.

Don't worry,

you don't have to foot the bill.

Hey, come back here.

I want to be very clear about something.

This Promise to your mother

to get a job.

That Promise doesn't mean anything,

is that right?

Where are

you guys headed to in India?

Look, Mom, we're going

to Goa, Agra...

...Taj Mahal, Hyderabad,

which is the Pearl capital of India.

I'll get you Pearls.

"I'll get you Pearls. "

And, Luke,

by the way, yes.

Promising my mother

means everything to me.

So, Mom, I will get

a job when I get back.

Please?

Yes, yes.

- Yes?

- Yes, you have our blessing.

Yes, thank you!

Thanks for the sandwich.

Thanks, Luke!

Do you mind telling me

what just happened?

Yeah, I mean,

haven't we been Praying...

...God would get hold

of him and shake him up?

Yeah, yes, yes,

but India, really?

- India.

- Yeah.

Really?

You never know. Really.

Nice try, Mom.

All right.

- Yeah.

- Where the ladies at?

We are in India, right?

Is that where we are?

- It's English, okay?

- Hey, hold on!

- Hello, my friend.

- What's your name?

Hey, open the door!

Call her.

She Probably misses you.

Hey, wait, wait, wait.

- Do you think he's...

- Just a little bit.

No, it's just misty. You're just misty.

We'll send her this.

Do you want

to say something here?

Yeah, it was a long flight.

I missed you.

But look at Captain Serious

up in front here.

Captain Serious, can we

have a little fun tonight?

All right, yeah, shower, shave,

do whatever you guys do, wax.

And then we are going

out to the club.

Sounds like a deal.

India!

What?

Get inside the...

Bring on the girls!

Bozo. Who invited

this bozo?
