The Rendezvous Page #2

He called you on April 9th?

- Yes.

- WOMAN:
What did you talk about?

He called me for my birthday,

just wanted to say hello.

[SPEAKING ARABIC]

Did he mention

what he was doing here?

Did he seem excited, scared?

Dr. Rozman...

do you know the name,

Charles Du Plessis?

No, should I?

Eccentric French millionaire,

lives in Dubai.

- I don't know anybody in Dubai.

- Really?

He was the last person your

brother tried to call.

Du Plessis is a collector

and your brother

was a kind of a...

- mercenary archaeologist.

- My brother liked to find things

they were knick-knacks

he wasn't...

Stolen knick-knacks?

Dr. Rozman,

the smuggling of antiquities

is a lucrative

and nasty business.

If this was my brother

and someone had just shown me

what we have shown you,

I would do everything I could...

So you think that I know

why this happened to him?

Did he ever mention

any business associates?

- Friends?

- No.

- Enemies?

- No!

Now, can I go, please?

MAN:
Not yet.

WOMAN:
One more photograph.

Your brother carved this

in his left arm.

- I don't need to see this...

- He did this to himself...

- No!

- We recovered his knife!

MAN:
Look, this may be

very important.

We believe it's a message,

your brother was trapped

he was dehydrated

and he knew he was dying.

So, in a sense,

this was like his last word.

Is it a symbol, is it a map?

It must mean something.

- I don't know!

- Take a good look!

I don't know.

[SPEAKING ARABIC]

[ALARM SOUNDS]

I'm sorry.

Why? You didn't have anything

to do with that?

You doing okay?

Can I see my brother's body now?

Of course.

This way.

[FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING]

They're keeping the body

for now,

which gives us some leverage.

You think she's one of them?

No, no way.

You can't go by looks.

A lot of religious nut jobs

seem perfectly normal.

My first wife.

Next paycheck says she's

no cult member.

How about her brother?

Paycheck on him not being

a loony?

Nope.

No bets on the brother, but...

she doesn't know anything.

- All right. When's her flight?

- Tomorrow morning.

Take her to her brother's hotel.

Show her his room.

Maybe something will click.

They're holding

his body hostage.

It's a criminal investigation.

Governments get touchy

when the US

starts meddling

in their affairs of State.

It's also a tactic, they're

trying to put pressure on you.

Why?

- What do they think I know?

- A name, a number, an address.

What the carving

on his arm means.

They're looking for anything.

He needed money.

Okay, good, that's something.

Money for what?

Rachel, did David say why

he needed money?

He always needed money,

he just... he wasn't very good

at being a grown-up.
