The Foreigner Page #3

Synopsis: The story of humble London businessman Quan (Chan), whose long-buried past erupts in a revenge-fueled vendetta when the only person left for him to love - his teenage daughter - is taken from him in a senseless act of politically-motivated terrorism. In his relentless search for the identity of the terrorists, Quan is forced into a cat- and-mouse conflict with a British government official (Brosnan), whose own past may hold clues to the identities of the elusive killers.

a better idea.

What do we get

in return?

Peace.

Is that so bad, Brennan?

Haven't you paid enough

in family blood?

So, unless you all want to

trash what we have,

I need your full support

and respect.

I want a complete list of all

the stocks within the week,

along with their locations,

and everyone who knows

where they are.

And no f***in' exceptions!

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

Show me.

We backtracked

47 minutes.

Clearly anticipated

the CCTV.

He circled London for quite

some time prior to the bombing.

Now, this is the first

CC feed we have on him.

Heading southbound on the A413

near Wendover at 10:53 a. m.

We retrieved the serial number

from the bike's frame.

It was reported stolen

in Reading the night before.

The license plates were also

stolen from another bike in Reading.

What about phone calls?

Assuming that the bomb

was phone-activated,

we've dumped the five closest

towers to the blast zone,

trying to ID any call terminating

at the time of the incident.

(PHONE RINGING)

Sorry. Excuse me.

Yup.

For you.

Bromley.

OFFICER:

He's here again, sir.

The Chinese man.

What?

The Chinaman. It's

five days in a row, now.

Christ. Tell him I'm busy.

I did, and he said

he'd wait, again.

BROMLEY:
I assure you,

this investigation is our

top priority, Mr. Quan.

And we're doing all we can and

pursuing every possible lead

to find those who killed

your daughter.

But they're a difficult people to catch.

And it may take

some time.

I need you

to understand that.

You must catch these men,

Commander Bromley.

Again, it's our

top priority.

Twenty-thousand pound.

All I have for the names

of the bombers.

I'm sorry,

but we can't take this.

Then please tell me...

Just give me the name

of someone in the IRA.

To be clear,

these are vicious men

who take pride

in their atrocities.

Any attempt by you to contact

them is likely to end very badly.

This is our work, not yours.

You need to be patient.

How long have you been

in this country, Mr. Quan?

Since 1984.

I'm a British citizen.

You were born

in Guangxi, China.

Yes. I'm Chinese Nung.

I work in Saigon

after the war.

We escaped to Singapore.

Then we immigrate here.

You had two daughters

before Fan.

Both killed

during the escape.

And your wife?

Where is she now?

(VOICE BREAKING) She died,

giving birth to Fan.

I'm truly sorry

for your loss.

But you mustn't keep coming

here on a daily basis.

It doesn't help,

and diverts time and resources

from our investigation.

Do you understand?

Yes. I understand.

Thank you for seeing me,

Commander Bromley.

weeks of investigations,
