- Terrorism.

He's ventured into the big leagues.

Well, with all due respect, sir,

there's not very much here.

Do we even know what he looks like?

Captain Laraby,

would you mind excusing us?

Of course not, sir.

Addis.

Finnegan.

Thanks, Tom.

His body was shipped home.

What was left of the body. A body.

It's a long story, Tom.

Let me try to explain some of it.

During the last days before the fall

of Saigon, Paul Finnegan was recruited.

- Recruited by who?

- The CIA.

His first op was to help the Khmer Rouge

run heroin out of the highlands.

His cut financed the covert operations.

As the years passed, our interests changed.

Finnegan was offered a new op

but the jungle had changed him.

That patriotic fervor had changed

into something else...

something that makes him dangerous.

He's a threat.

To you, me, his family, and his country.

Welcome to the tunnels, Tommy.

What the hell's he doing here?

Is there any other way to handle this?

A deal or an arrangement?

There's no other way.

We've learned the Ho Chi Minh Police...

have set up a sting to capture him.

That cannot happen.

If he is identified, you can imagine

the problems that we might face.

The explanations.

Not to mention the effect on his family...

his son...

You're asking me to kill

the man who saved my life.

I know how incredibly bizarre

this must seem to you, Tom...

but believe me, this is not the man

that you once knew.

Over the years,

he has become a cold-blooded killer.

And I'm ashamed to say,

we bear some responsibility for that...

and an obligation to rectify the mistake.

As a sniper, you have the option

to refuse the mission.

But I need an answer, Tom. By 0800.

I'll understand if you can't do this.

I'll find somebody else.

No.

I'll do it. Alone.

I want no observer with me.

I don't want anybody else's hand in it.

How can you be so sure he'll do it

when the time comes?

One way or another,

he will get the job done.

It's all he's got left.

His life isn't worth a damn unless

he's risking it, or taking someone else's.

First time in Ho Chi Minh?

Last time I was here, it was called Saigon.

Beckett, Thomas.

Welcome to Ho Chi Minh, Mr. Beckett.

First time in Vietnam?

No.

Do you want anything, sir?

If you know what I mean, you know?

Yeah, I know what you mean,

and thanks but no thanks.

Sure? Because Ky Mam

can get you anything.

Anything that you want.

Any good massage?

Happy ending.

Thank you, sir.

Your bag has arrived, sir.

You must have the wrong room.

I already have my bags.

Not this one,

Master Gunnery Sergeant Thomas Beckett.

My name is Quan.

Detective, Ho Chi Minh City Police.

- Also your operations contact.
