The Blood Bond

My dear, devoted Deva.

Your skills have become

extraordinary...

I've been blessed

by your teachings, master.

Come, sit with this old man

for a moment.

You have passed

every physical challenge...

endured the hardship of our ways.

But for you to be fully realised as

a Bharmaja a protector,

I must know if your mind...

and heart and spirit

are also forged anew.

Please recite for me

the 3rd lesson of the Bharmaja.

To stop rather than injure...

injure rather than maim...

maim rather than kill...

and only take a life

when the needs of the spirit...

outweigh the needs of the body...

You have walked far

into the sunlight, Deva...

but I sense a shadow on you yet.

I would know of the road...

that brought you to our temple gate.

It was four years ago...

my first task as a Bharmaja:

to protect my teacher

The Bagwun?

Yes

Purma was a nation torn apart

by civil war.

The rebel forces, the PLM,

controlled the North of the country...

the government forces the South

Rebel leader Kin Lompoc's men

detained and executed...

anyone believed to support

the existing regime.

Executions were carried out daily,

brutally and without trial.

The only hope lay with the Bagwun...

a spiritual leader revered

by the people of Purma...

a man bringing a message

of peace to a land at war.

A man I was sworn to protect...

The Purmese government

had provided us...

with rooms at a 5-star hotel...

and a full security detail

around the clock.

Even so,

I sensed danger that night...

What is it?

I don't know.

Something wrong?

I'm not sure.

Deva, why must you always...

look for shadows on a sun-filled day?

The brighter the sun,

the darker the shadow.

That sounds very wise.

It should, you said it.

Ah...

very wise indeed.

Is there anything else before bed?

No, I feel very content and safe

Alright! Well, I'll leave you then.

The Bagwun is alone.

Copy! Stand by.

We have a very serious problem here.

What kind of problem?

The Bagwun,

he needs a blood transfusion.

So do it.

It's his blood type.

It's AB Rh negative.

It's a very rare blood type.

How rare?

Here is the donor list

with addresses...

and contact numbers, doctor.

Thank you.

We've called all the other hospitals

in the area...

and could only find five donors

on record.

Four in the metro area...

and one man we were treating

for a liver disorder.

He lives up north.

His name is Tremayne.

We still have the address

of the clinic...

where we used to send him

his medicine.

So,

we go with one of the four donors

here in town.

What if you can't find them.

Shouldn't you...

look for this Tremayne as well?

I'm not sending one of my men

up north.

It's a suicide mission.

I'll go.

The PLM own that part of the country

They don't take kindly to outsiders

Unlike your men,

it's possible I can slip in and out

of area quietly...

I can take care of myself.

Yeah, I've noticed

If you want to go, I won't stop you

But you're on your own

Thank you

Here's the information

Long live the liberation

What are you doing here?

Bad news

Did you contact our operators in the city?

They are in process.

Good.

Did you see who's name is on this list?

Small world.

Go back to the city.

Kill the other four donors.

And what about Tremayne?

I'll send Logan to keep an eye on him.

Go!

I really appreciate this.

But, is there any way

you can make it a round trip?

I'd like to help you.

But I've got medical supplies to deliver.

Where you're going is a real hot zone.

I can drop you, but that's it.

Good enough. Let's go.

So how long have you been flying this route.

Two years too long.

This territory has changed hands more times

than I've had my blades oiled.

We have to use civilian choppers

like this one even to deliver medicine.

Cause you never know

who's gonna be taking a shot at you.

It's a gorgeous country.

Yeah, it would be...

if it wasn't at war with itself.

The village you're looking for...

is 2 miles north from here.

Alright, thanks...

Good luck.

You too.

Mr. Tran

Hey! What's taking so long?

Coming!

Hey, go see what's taking so long!

So, which way is Apkwat Village?

Two miles this way.

Excuse me...

I didn't call for a girl.

What?

Did Madame Kai send you?

Who?

Madame Kai. Don't you work for...?

No. I don't know a Madame Kai.

No, you don't work for Madame Kai, do you?

Who are you? What do you want?

I need your help.

To do what?

Do you know your blood type?

Well, let's just say the day

I need a blood transfusion...

is the day I'm gonna die.

So, you're John Tremayne?

You want to tell me what's this all about?

There's been an attempt

on the life of the Bagwun.

Yeah, I heard about that.

He's the peace activist.

He needs a blood transfusion.

AB Rh negative.

You got the wrong guy.

I don't want anything to do with this.

I don't care about the Bagwun.

Doesn't seem like you care about anything

from the looks of this place.

You know..

you're smarter than you look.

Get out.

You're still here, aren't you?

All right, let me get my pants on

and we'll see if we can

figure this thing out. Ok?

Ok!

Give me the usual.

You here early. Why?

Murphy's law.

What that mean?

Never mind.

Business is booming. Who are they?

They've been here all night

They celebrate some big PLM victory.

Son of the b*tch.

Hey! Bartender.

Get us some drinks, you lazy bastard!

Oh, Ok

You? American?
