Any one of them would be thrilled

to have you on their staff.

l don't get this.

You've hit the ground running

every place we've ever gone.

l'm sorry l'm not bouncing back

fast enough for you.

Five months here, you haven't even started

to learn the language.

l am not getting pregnant again

in the Third World.

No, not Africa.

We're not gonna bring that into this.

-''That''?

-Yes, that.

When the hell are you gonna move on?

lt's over. lt happened.

-lt wasn't meant to be. Get over it!

-l don't want to move on!

Well, I have. And goddamn it,

l'm right here. Right now.

My whole situation is falling apart

and somehow, we're back to this agenda.

l am not an agenda.

You know what?

Go home.

l'm serious.

Take a break.

Well, it's what you want.

lsn't it?

l never said that.

Then I guess it's me.

No.

Ted, tell Octonalhow much local support

we've got down here.

l don't know what to tell you.

We're in Houston looking for help.

Octonal has their own way of doing things.

l'm not the only one

who's going to fight for this.

lf that's a threat, l'm not sure what that is.

But, you lose sight....

No. Ted, you're breaking up.

Don't lose track of where you stand

in the food chain around here.

l've got people here who've burned

their bridges to come work with us.

l can barely hear you.

Can you hear me?

Ted, whenever you're ready.

What the hell am I supposed to tell

my people?

Tell them Quad Carbon is finished.

Tell them Octonalis taking us over.

Tell them to get their rsums out.

l'm heading for the office.

l'll call you back on a landline.

Beatrice, thanks for coming in on Sunday.

Call Ted Fellner.

Tell him l'll be at the office in 20 minutes.

l've got to take the long way around.

Right.

l don't believe this. F***!

Sh*t!

My God!

No. lt's a telephone! lt's just a telephone.

No. l'm not doing anything!

No. I just need my briefcase.

l'm not part of this.

l have some really bad news.

You ought to go inside and sit down.

lt's about Peter.

This morning there was a roadblock

and these guys in ski masks....

They had guns and they took him

with a bunch of other people.

He's been kidnapped.

Do you understand what l'm saying?

We got a call from Tecala this morning.

You're not sending me there.

-l think if you hear me out....

-l just got off the plane, okay?

Terry, I need you down there.

l'm just not good at the moment.

l want you to consider this

your first management assignment.

The first of many.

We all get rattled. lt's not the first time.

That was kind of my point.

-Sir.

-Hey, Henry.

l'm on my way to the airport.

l'll call your mom, see if her and Michael
