there's no driver or...

Oh, I'm sorry,

you'll have to take a cab.

Take a cab.

I exchanged a few dollars

at the L.A. Airport.

Twenty-seven million

two hundred thousand.

- What?

- I said, 27,200,000 Turkish lire.

- I take you to hotel.

- Twenty-seven...

- I don't have 27...

- Twenty dollars, same thing here.

Hey. No, no, wait a minute!

You don't even know what hotel I'm at.

Hotel Sultanahmet Palace.

Just near the blue mosque.

It's very nice. Don't worry about it.

Wait a minute, how do you...? Hold on.

Could you tell me what hotel I'm at.

- Sultanahmet Palace.

- The Sultanahmet Palace. Thanks.

How the hell did you know that?

I think you are American.

Americans stay there.

You have a lot of luggage.

There, people stay long time...

...and you dropped this,

your schedule.

- Right?

- Right.

To the hotel? Yeah.

But first I need to go by the U.S.

Embassy to get my passport fixed.

Sure, as you wish, no problem.

Here.

Here.

Istanbul has population

of over 12 million.

It was founded

in the seventh century...

...and was the capital

of Byzantine Empire...

...and then of Ottoman sultans.

It was once called Constantinople.

- Hang on. Sorry.

- Yeah.

Istanbul is beautiful city.

- I hope you like it, yeah?

- Yeah, excuse me.

- Yeah?

- I'm sorry, I don't know your name.

Oh, sorry. Osman.

My name is Osman.

Osman. Look, I really appreciate

the tour, I do, but I'm really tired.

- Jet lag, you know?

- Sure, of course. This is why I talk.

I see you have come alone. You will

be joined by, how you say, boyfriend?

How you say, horse's ass?

Yes, of course. Horse's ass.

I am sorry. Traffic is very bad.

I can do this. I can do this.

I can do this.

Sign there and date, please.

How long do you think it will take

for my passport? A few weeks?

No, no, no. We're a small office...

...but I e-mail Washington,

assuming no hitches...

...you can walk in tomorrow

and walk out with a temporary.

- You're a hero.

- Thanks. Please, tell that to my wife.

- We open at 9.

- Okay, I'll be here. Thank you.

Great. Next!

A butterfly tattoo...

...on his hand.

Find this guy, he can vouch for me.

He knows I'm not Kelly Roos.

This is the best you can do,

an embassy clerk?

I know no one here.

- Yes.

- Yes.

Right.

You need something, anything

or even nothing...

...you call. I'm good for anything,

good for nothing. I'm always here.

Okay, I'm sure I'll be fine.

- Here you go.

- Yeah, thank you.

Bye.

Here you go.

- Thank you. Thank you.

- Thank you.

Do you know how long this will take?

I don't know.

I think no more than an hour.

- No, no. No, and I won't calm down.

- This is no problem.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.
