Vehicle 19

It's late.

I know. I'm sorry.

Is everything okay?

No, no, there was this

mechanical issue with the plane,

and we were delayed,

and then customs, it just...

it took forever.

This is hard, Michael.

There's history.

You know I want this

to work.

It's just you coming.

I don't know.

Angie, just listen to me.

I'm here, okay?

And it's gonna be

different this time,

I promise.

I want to believe that.

You know, I really do.

Just please don't

let me down again, okay?

I'll be waiting.

Okay. I'll see you

in 20 minutes.

Okay.

Hertz Rental,

Sandy speaking.

How may I help you?

Yeah,

this is Michael Woods.

I was just in there

a moment ago.

Oh, yes, the American.

Mm-hmm.

Is everything okay,

Mr. Woods?

No, actually, uh

this is a minivan.

I ordered a sedan.

Um, well, why don't you

just come back on in,

and we'll see if we can't

find out what the problem is.

I'm sure my manager

will be back any time.

You can't sort this out?

No, sir.

I'm afraid I'm not

that good with a computer,

but my manager will be back

anytime soon now.

You know what?

This is gonna be fine.

No, no, no, sir.

Yeah.

I'm sorry to say...

Unfortunately,

I'm running late.

Somebody's

waiting for me,

and we'll just sort it out

when I come back, all right?

No, sir. I'm afraid

you don't understand...

Thank you. Bye.

This is weird.

What?

They drive on the left.

Hey!

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, man!

Better wake up!

Stay out of trouble,

Michael.

Stay out of trouble.

Stay out of trouble,

stay out of trouble.

Hey.

Where are you?

I'm... I'm stuck

in a traffic jam.

There must be an accident

or something,

and then I ran into an issue

with the rental car company, too.

Michael, you know

what security is like here.

Just to get

this little bit of time,

I have to go through

a whole procedure.

No, I know, I know,

but, I mean,

it's not my fault.

What am I

supposed to do?

I can't control the air

flow or the traffic.

I mean, can't you just

wait for a little bit?

I've been waiting

for 18 months.

I know.

All right,

and I'm here now.

When the parole board

approved your travel,

I thought this could be

like a new start for us,

but now I'm scared that...

What? Wait,

why are you crying?

No more stories, Michael.

I can't get hurt again.

What...

I can't.

What stories?

Did you stop

at the liquor store?

No, come on, I told you.

I'm stuck

in a traffic jam.

Okay.

Angie, just give me

this one chance, all right?

I promise you

I'm not gonna screw it up.

Okay. Okay,

call me when you get here.

Hey, you'll

get there, buddy!

God.

Hello, my friend.

I'm selling chargers,

my friend.

Yeah, I don't need

a charger.

No, my friend.

Take a charger, my friend

No, I just bought one

at the airport, though.

Oh, come on,

those are cheap.

They break all the time,

my friend.

I don't need one.

No, my friend. Look at me.

I'm the cutest boy

in town.

Yeah, I'm sure you are.

Which one do you use,

my friend?

Hey, hey,

what are you do...

Hey, what are you doing?

They just stole my glasses.

The big story

on Eyewitness News today

is the disappearance

of the lead prosecutor

in the case against

the Chief of Police, Ben Rose.

Rachel Shabangu has been missing

for the past 24 hours,

and her family and the NPA

have been pointing fingers

at those implicated

in the case

she was to provide

evidence against.

Alex, this is the third time

that this kind of thing

has happened

in a case

against the Chief of Police.

Well, the prosecutors here,

they've seen this sort of thing

occurring on a regular basis.

It seems like a blatant

disregard for the law

by the very people

who are meant to uphold it.

Hello?

You were meant to

acknowledge receipt of the message.

Hello, who is this?

Can you tell me

what's going on here?

Hello?

How did you get

this phone?

Uh...

it was in the glove box.

I...

I picked up this car

from the rental car company.

They screwed up the car

and...

Hello?

Hello?!

Why is this gun

in my car?!

Oh.

To hell with this.

I'm outta here.

Hey.

Hello, Michael.

Yeah, I just thought

you should know,

I'm not playing

your stupid game.

I'm outta here.

I left your van,

your gun, your phone.

Michael...

You can have it all, buddy.

My name

is Detective Smith.

We're in the middle of a

covert operation at the airport.

There was a mix-up.

That car was meant

to be picked up

by one of our undercover

police officers.

We appreciate that this

was just a random mistake

and that you are

an innocent party in this.

That's good.

That's good news.

You're not to blame here.

We know what happened.

You have no idea.

Yeah, well,

sorry about that.

We've got another car

for you,

so we'll send

you the address,

and we can swap it

over, okay?

Okay, great.

That's a relief.

I got to...

Guess I'm not walking

after all.

Uh, Smuts Street, please.

Which one?

I have over 57

in the directory, sir.

Uh, I don't know.

I'm American.

I'm not from here.

Unfortunately, I cannot help

unless you have more information.

Goodbye.

Excuse me. Excuse me.

Could you tell me

where Smuts Street is?

Right. Uh-huh.

Could have seen

that one coming.

Smuts.

Smuts Street.

Excuse me.

Uh, it's all right.

Never mind. Thank you.

I got to turn around.

Crap.

What's going on?

You're

half an hour late.

Yeah, I got...

I got lost,

and now I'm stuck.
