00:00Having broken out of his confinement, Jack now faces even greater dangers.
00:05Every step is a battle against time, and the people hunting him.
00:10But can he hold on to his life and freedom, as he embarks on this perilous escape?
00:15There it was.
00:17A sound that did not belong to the truck.
00:20The cooling engine.
00:21The shifting men.
00:23A soft, compressed rhythm.
00:25Like many feet placed on gravel at once.
00:28Held back, waiting.
00:31He did not turn.
00:32He looked down at the ground.
00:34Instead.
00:36Behind him, one of the men laughed.
00:38Big boss pays too much for this.
00:41He said.
00:42He could just let him wander off by himself here.
00:46Shut it.
00:47The driver said.
00:49The word was sharp.
00:51Everything that followed happened in a tight frame.
00:55Police!
00:56Freeze!
00:56The shout cut through the space.
00:59Clear and controlled.
01:02From the dark beyond the headlamps, beams of light burst forward.
01:06They moved fast.
01:08Capturing faces.
01:10Bodies.
01:11The truck.
01:12Boots hit the ground.
01:14The measured steps he had heard became a rush.
01:17The man on Jack's left swore and reached for his belt.
01:21An officer was already there, grabbing his arm, pushing him down.
01:27The man on the right turned to run, but a second beam pinned him and two more bodies closed in.
01:34Hands where we can see them.
01:36The driver's hands went up.
01:38Fingers spread.
01:39His phone dropped to the ground with a small, dull sound.
01:44Jack stood still.
01:46One of the beams swung to his face.
01:49Jack?
01:49The officer who said his name stepped closer, lowering the angle of the light so it did not blind him.
01:57Under the cap, Jack saw firm features and calm eyes.
02:02Yes, Jack said.
02:05Are you hurt?
02:06No, Jack answered.
02:09Not badly.
02:10The officer scanned him quickly, his eyes noting the absence of cuffs, the slight stiffness in his posture.
02:19We got your call, the officer said.
02:22His voice remained steady.
02:24Your information matched the vehicle and route.
02:28He turned his head.
02:30Secure them, he called to the others.
02:33There was movement behind them.
02:35The metallic clicks of handcuffs.
02:38The low murmur of rites being read.
02:40One of the men protested.
02:42The officer repeated the order.
02:45Unshaken.
02:46The night filled with heavy breaths and the scuff of boots on dirt.
02:51Then began to settle again, as the men were brought under control.
02:56Jack watched.
02:57His chest rising and falling slowly.
03:00The cold air entered his lungs and expanded.
03:04You stood where you were, the officer noted.
03:08His voice lower now.
03:10You told me not to move, Jack replied.
03:13The corner of the officer's mouth twitched.
03:16Almost a smile.
03:18Then smoothed.
03:19We can take you to the station.
03:22He said.
03:23You should be checked at a clinic.
03:25After that, we will talk.
03:28Jack looked down the road.
03:29It curved away into the dark.
03:32The white line broken at regular intervals.
03:34If I go with you now, loud and clear, he will know.
03:40Jack said.
03:42You mean the one who gave the order?
03:44The officer replied.
03:46Jack nodded.
03:47The drivers, the men, they are only the hands.
03:52Jack said.
03:53He is the head.
03:54If he feels the air shift, he will vanish.
03:58The officer was quiet for a moment.
04:01The beam of his flashlight rested on the ground between them.
04:05We have enough to open an investigation, he said.
04:09We have them.
04:10The vehicle.
04:11The route.
04:12Your testimony will matter.
04:14I will give it, Jack said.
04:17Just not all at once.
04:19Not in a way he can hear right away.
04:22He lifted his head.
04:24His eyes met the officers again.
04:26There was no wobble in his gaze now.
04:29The drugs had thinned.
04:30What remained was fatigue and a clear, narrow focus.
04:35I need a phone, Jack said.
04:38The officer glanced at one of his colleagues, who had collected the scattered items.
04:43Among them lay the driver's phone and another small device.
04:48You used one already, the officer said.
04:51That one is gone, Jack replied.
04:54I need to call my friend.
04:56And I need to speak to you from somewhere else.
04:59Not here.
05:00Not at the station first.
05:02The officer weighed his words.
05:04In the dark, the other movements slowed.
05:07As the men were secured in the back of another vehicle.
05:11The night started to close in again, around the small circle of light where they stood.
05:16Finally, the officer handed him a service phone.
05:21Short, he said.
05:23We will log the calls later.
05:26Jack took the phone.
05:27It was heavier than the one in the room.
05:30The surface was smooth and clean.
05:33He turned away slightly, just enough to draw a thin line of privacy, and dialed.
05:39When Luan picked up, his voice was sharp with alarm.
05:44Jack, where have you?
05:47I do not have time for a long story, Jack said.
05:51Listen, there is something wrong with Toan's company.
05:55With his documents.
05:57Maybe with the contracts.
05:59I need you to start looking.
06:01Quietly.
06:02Are you safe?
06:03I am not in a room anymore, Jack said.
06:07That is enough for now.
06:09Tell me where you are.
06:11I will come.
06:12No, Jack replied.
06:15You help from there.
06:16Check the records.
06:17Talk to people who left.
06:19Anyone who may have seen something.
06:21Use your head, not your mouth.
06:24And do not call me back on this number.
06:26The line went silent for a second.
06:29You sound serious, Luan said finally.
06:33I am, Jack answered.
06:36All right, Luan said.
06:38I will do it.
06:40Whatever you need.
06:41Thank you, Jack said.
06:44He ended the call, then turned back to the officer and held the phone out.
06:49I will tell you everything, Jack said, from the beginning.
06:54But I need to move first, in a way he cannot read.
06:58If he feels a rush, he will hide what you need.
07:01The officer took the phone.
07:04You want to disappear from his sight before he knows we are here, the officer said.
07:10Yes, Jack replied.
07:12Where will you go?
07:13Jack looked down the road again, then at the dark shapes of the hills around them.
07:19The wind pressed against his jacket now, constant and cold.
07:24To a quiet place, he said.
07:28Somewhere he does not watch.
07:30Then I will talk.
07:32I will send you what my friend finds.
07:34The officer studied him for another moment.
07:37Then he gave a short nod.
07:40We will mark you as protected information, he said.
07:44No public report with your name yet.
07:47We will say we intercepted an illegal transport route.
07:51That is all.
07:52Jack let out a slow breath.
07:55It left his chest with the weight of days spent under a low ceiling.
07:59I owe someone a call, he said then.
08:03Softer.
08:04Your family?
08:05The officer said.
08:07Yes.
08:08Jack replied.
08:09Make it when you reach your quiet place, the officer said.
08:14From a clean phone.
08:16This one stays with us.
08:18Jack accepted the boundary.
08:20Behind them, the captured men were loaded into vehicles.
08:25Doors shut.
08:26Engines started.
08:27The night filled again with mechanical sound.
08:30But under it, the mountain waited.
08:33Unchanged.
08:34The officer placed a hand briefly on Jack's shoulder.
08:38The touch was firm and short.
08:41You are standing, he said.
08:44Jack looked at his own feet on the dirt.
08:47Yes, he said.
08:49I am.
08:50They left the mountain road in stages.
08:53First, the police vehicles drove a short way together, then split.
08:59One took the men.
09:00Another took the truck.
09:02The last carried the officer and two colleagues.
09:05Jack sat in the back seat.
09:07The cabin smelled of fabric cleaner and faint sweat.
09:12The heater hummed at a low level.
09:14The dashboard held a stack of papers held down by a clip.
09:19A small plastic bell hung from the rearview mirror, moving gently with each bump.
09:25It clicked against the glass with a soft tap from time to time.
09:30Nobody spoke much.
09:31The officer who had talked to Jack earlier sat in the front passenger seat, reading messages
09:38on a device, sometimes typing brief responses.
09:43The driver kept his focus on the road.
09:46Jack watched the passing shapes through the window.
09:48Dark trees, occasional signs, a guardrail, dented in one place.
09:56The curve of the road flattening little by little.
09:59His body began to feel the deep tiredness under the thin band of alertness.
10:04His muscles ached in small points, behind his knees, between his shoulders, at the base of
10:12his skull.
10:13But his thoughts did not float anymore.
10:16They moved in a straight line.
10:18He revisited each step.
10:21The room, the phone, his mother's voice, Tu Tien's steady silence, Vin's hand on the
10:28handle of the door, the route, the truck, the shout, the flashlights.
10:34He wondered where Vin was now.
10:37Whether he was still in that building, walking down the same corridor with the same flickering
10:43tube light above him, or whether Toen had already begun to look at everyone with narrow eyes,
10:49searching for the break.
10:51After some time, they reached a small town.
10:55Its lights were low and spaced out.
10:58Small houses, some with metal roofs, lined the main road.
11:03A few shops were still open.
11:05Their doors glowed weakly, with warm light.
11:09The officer turned in his seat.
11:11We stop here, he said.
11:14You need rest.
11:16At least a little.
11:17After that, you can decide.
11:20They pulled into the courtyard of a modest inn.
11:24The sign out front was faded.
11:26The ground was a mix of packed dirt and concrete.
11:31Inside, the air was warmer than the mountain road.
11:35There was the smell of incense, old wood, and hot water.
11:39The owner, a middle-aged woman with a wool vest over her sweater, greeted the officers with
11:46familiarity.
11:47Two rooms, the officer said.
11:50One for him.
11:52The woman glanced at Jack briefly, registering his drawn face, the way he held himself.
11:58She did not ask questions.
12:00Third floor.
12:02End of the hall, she said.
12:04It is quiet there.
12:05The officer walked with Jack up the stairs.
12:10Their steps echoed softly in the narrow stairwell.
12:13A ceiling fan turned slowly above the second floor landing, its motor making a light, repetitive
12:20sound.
12:21On the third floor, the hall was narrow.
12:24The floor tiles were cool underfoot.
12:27A small window at the far end was open, a crack, letting in a thread of air.
12:34The officer unlocked the room and handed the key to Jack.
12:38We will be in the room next to yours, he said.
12:42If you need anything, knock on the wall.
12:45Do not open the door for anyone else.
12:48Jack nodded.
12:49The documents, he said.
12:51I will write what I remember.
12:54Tonight.
12:55Tomorrow is fine, the officer replied.
12:59You need to sleep.
13:00I have been sleeping, Jack said.
13:03Not the way I wanted.
13:05The officer looked at him for a long moment.
13:08Then he inclined his head.
13:11Write what you can, he said.
13:13Then lie down.
13:15The body also speaks when it cannot walk anymore.
13:18He left Jack alone and closed the door.
13:22The room was small.
13:24There was a single bed, a wooden chair, a low table, and a narrow desk under the window.
13:31A kettle sat on a tray with two cups and a jar of instant coffee.
13:36The switch for the light clicked softly when Jack turned it on.
13:40The bulb above the bed glowed a warmer yellow than the one in the cell.
13:46Jack set the key on the table.
13:47It made a small, clear sound against the surface.
13:52He walked to the window and opened it wider.
13:55Cool air entered, moving the thin curtain.
13:59From outside, he heard the distant sound of a dog barking and the clatter of a pot from a kitchen below.
14:07He stood there for a while, one hand resting on the windowsill.
14:11The wood was smooth in some places, rough in others.
14:15He felt each patch under his palm.
14:19On the desk lay a pad of paper and a pen.
14:23He pulled out the chair and sat.
14:25His body protested.
14:27His muscles wanted to lie down.
14:30He placed the pen between his fingers.
14:33For a moment, his hand hovered above the blank page.
14:37Then he began.
14:38He wrote his name, the date, as best as he could remember it.
14:43He wrote the first time he had noticed something wrong in Toen's company.
14:48The way some contracts were rushed.
14:50The way some numbers did not align.
14:53He wrote about the meeting that had felt off.
14:56The sudden trip.
14:57The car.
14:58The mask.
15:00The room.
15:01He wrote about Vin.
15:02Only the fax.
15:04The change in the drug.
15:06The phone.
15:07The rout whispered near the door.
15:09He did not write emotion.
15:11He trusted that in the reading, the simple details would carry their own weight.
15:17The pen scratched steadily over the paper.
15:21It was the only sound in the room, apart from the faint noise of the ceiling fan from
15:26the hallway seeping through the wall.
15:29After several pages, his hand cramped.
15:32He set the pen down and flexed his fingers.
15:35He stacked the papers neatly and placed the pen back on top, aligning it with the edge of the
15:42pad.
15:43Order, even in small things, steadied him.
15:47He looked at the key on the table again.
15:50Then at the bed.
15:51The blanket was folded back slightly.
15:54The sheet plain and clean.
15:56He did not lie down yet.
15:58He reached for his own pocket.
16:01Empty.
16:02No phone.
16:03Cut off from the two voices he wanted most to hear.
16:06He remembered the officer's instruction.
16:09Call later.
16:10From a clean number.
16:12Not now.
16:13He walked back to the window.
16:15The air was colder now.
16:17He could see his breath again when he exhaled.
16:20He imagined his mother at home.
16:22Closing the front door against the night.
16:25Checking the latch twice.
16:26He imagined, two Tien outside, tipping a small plastic basin to pour out water, then turning
16:35off the outdoor tap, then looking up at the sky, to judge the weather for the next day's
16:41work.
16:42She would leave the light by the gate on.
16:45He could see it in his mind.
16:47The small bulb.
16:48The switch inside the house.
16:51The way the light spread.
16:52Just enough to mark the entrance.
16:54His chest tightened.
16:57He lifted a hand and pressed his fingers briefly against his sternum, as if to remind his body
17:03that it was still here, still moving.
17:07There was a knock on the wall to his right.
17:10Three light taps.
17:12You alright?
17:13The officer's voice came through.
17:16Muted.
17:16Yes, Jack said.
17:19He stepped closer to the wall.
17:21I wrote it down.
17:23Rest.
17:24Came the reply.
17:25We leave early.
17:27The footsteps moved away.
17:29Jack turned off the main light and left only the small lamp on the desk.
17:35Its circle of light fell on the written pages and the pen.
17:38The rest of the room went soft in the dim.
17:42He lay down finally, pulling the blanket over himself.
17:46The mattress sagged slightly in the middle.
17:49He did not mind.
17:51It was a surface that did not smell of mold or metal.
17:54It smelled of detergent and dust.
17:57Ordinary and harmless.
18:00He closed his eyes.
18:01Sleep did not come at once.
18:03His mind moved through faces.
18:05His mother, her lines deeper, but her gaze still firm.
18:11Tu Tian.
18:12Her hair pulled back.
18:14Her hands red from cold water.
18:17He remembered the way she had once folded his scarf for him when he left early on a winter morning,
18:23smoothing the fabric with the flat of her palm, then placing it on the table without a word.
18:29He had not brought that scarf here.
18:31He brought nothing.
18:32But the memory sat near him as he drifted.
18:36When he woke, the room was gray with early light.
18:40Birds called somewhere beyond the window.
18:43The small bell in the hallway gave an occasional soft tap.
18:48He sat up slowly.
18:50His body felt heavier, but in a different way.
18:53The deep shaking in his hands was gone.
18:57Only the ordinary stiffness of sleep remained.
19:00He washed his face in the small bathroom.
19:04The water cold on his skin.
19:06He watched it run clear down the sink, carrying away the salt of old sweat.
19:13On the desk, the papers waited.
19:16He read them once, correcting a few dates, adding a name he had almost forgotten.
19:22He stacked them again, straightened the edges, then took them in his hands.
19:27He opened the door.
19:30The hallway smelled of boiled rice and instant coffee now.
19:34The officer stepped out of the next room at the same time.
19:38His shirt was buttoned up.
19:40His hair was combed back with water.
19:43You slept?
19:44He asked.
19:46Enough, Jack said.
19:48He handed over the pages.
19:50The officer did not read them here.
19:52He only counted them quickly, then folded them in half and placed them in a brown envelope.
20:00We go, the officer said.
20:02Not to the city yet, Jack said.
20:06No, the officer replied.
20:08First, to a smaller station.
20:11We will send this.
20:13He lifted the envelope.
20:14To a secure unit.
20:16Your name will not be on the outside.
20:19Then you will call your family.
20:20Jack let out a breath he had not realized he was holding.
20:26They checked out of the inn.
20:28The owner took the key, nodded once, and watched them leave without comment.
20:34Outside, the air held the faint warmth of the coming day.
20:38The street was still quiet.
20:40A few people moved about, opening shutters, sweeping the front of shops.
20:45The sound of broom bristles on concrete rose and fell.
20:52In the car, Jack sat in the back again.
20:55As they drove away from the town, fields opened on either side.
21:00The soil was dark and turned in neat rows.
21:04Water filled some of the furrows, reflecting the sky.
21:08Farmers walked along the edges with tools on their shoulders.
21:12The sight steadied him.
21:15It belonged to a world that kept going.
21:18No matter what one man's anger tried to do in hidden rooms.
21:22At the small station, they stopped only long enough to send the envelope into a different channel
21:29and to let Jack wash his face again.
21:32The officer returned with a sealed note, confirming the transfer,
21:37then handed Jack a simple phone in a paper sleeve.
21:41This is temporary, he said.
21:43The number is not tied to you.
21:46Use it today.
21:47We will discard it after.
21:50Jack took the phone.
21:52The plastic was new and a little stiff.
21:55He stepped outside to the small courtyard.
21:58There was a wooden bench under a thin tree.
22:00He sat down and dialed.
22:04His mother answered even faster than before.
22:07It is me, he said.
22:09This time, he did not speak of a broken phone.
22:13I was in trouble, he said.
22:16Bad trouble.
22:17But I am out now.
22:19The police are with me.
22:21I will have to do some things with them.
22:24I cannot come home yet.
22:25But I will.
22:27I promise you.
22:28There was a long silence.
22:30He heard her breaths.
22:32Then her voice, lower than before.
22:35You are alive, she said.
22:38That is enough for me.
22:40He swallowed.
22:42Yes, he said.
22:44Tell Tutien that too.
22:46I will call her next.
22:47I will tell her.
22:49His mother said.
22:51Eat.
22:52Listen to them.
22:53Do what is right.
22:55I will.
22:55Well, he said.
22:57He ended the call gently, then dialed again.
23:01When Tutien answered, he heard the sound of chickens in the background and the soft creak
23:07of a wooden door.
23:09I am safe now, he said at once.
23:13Her breath hitched.
23:14Where?
23:15Far, he replied.
23:17With people who are helping.
23:19I cannot say more yet.
23:21But I am not in that place anymore.
23:23There was a pause.
23:26I knew something was wrong, she said.
23:29You do not vanish like that.
23:31I could not fight it at first, he said.
23:34I was weak.
23:35Someone helped me inside.
23:37I will tell you one day.
23:39For now, you just need to know, I did not leave on my own.
23:44He heard her shift the phone from one ear to the other.
23:47Maybe she was leaning against the doorframe, looking out at the yard.
23:53Maybe the gate light was still on from the night before.
23:56The house is the same, she said.
23:59Your mother walks up and down the yard in the evening.
24:03The dogs wait by the gate.
24:05That will not change.
24:07He closed his eyes for a moment.
24:09The image wrapped around his tired mind and held it steady.
24:13I cannot come back yet, he said.
24:17If I do, I will bring danger there.
24:20I have to finish this first.
24:23I know, she replied.
24:25Her voice did not shake now.
24:27You are not angry?
24:29No, she said.
24:31You are doing what you must.
24:34There was a small noise then.
24:36A kind he knew well.
24:38The sound of a kettle lid being lifted.
24:41Then set back.
24:42I boiled water, she said.
24:45I will pour tea for your mother.
24:47We will sit.
24:48We will wait properly this time.
24:51A faint smile touched his lips.
24:54Do that, he said.
24:56Wait, but also live.
24:58Feed the animals.
25:00Bake your bread.
25:01Do not let everything hang on me.
25:04That is not how it is, she said.
25:06But I will do the work.
25:09They both fell quiet for a breath.
25:11I will leave this number soon, he said.
25:15But the people with me will know how to reach you if needed.
25:20I will keep the light on, she said.
25:22He did not answer at once.
25:25He let the words sit in the shared space between them.
25:29Then, he said, quietly, I will look for it.
25:34He ended the call.
25:37The officer stood a short distance away, giving him space.
25:41When Jack walked back, he handed over the phone without being asked.
25:46The officer put it in his pocket.
25:49Ready?
25:50He asked.
25:52Jack looked out past the gate of the station.
25:55The road lay ahead, straight for a while, then bending away toward places he did not yet know.
26:02He adjusted the collar of his jacket.
26:05The movement was small but deliberate.
26:07Yes, he said.
26:10They got back in the car.
26:12The engine started.
26:14The small plastic bell in the front tapped the glass once, then again.
26:19As they drove, the wind outside the window brushed against the car.
26:24Jack rested his arm on his leg.
26:26Steady now.
26:27He did not know how long it would take to uncover everything Tone had done.
26:33He did not know how many nights his mother and Tu Tien would sit by the table with the kettle between them,
26:41speaking in low voices, doing their daily tasks while waiting.
26:46He only knew that the first step was done.
26:49He had walked out of the low, damp room.
26:52He had stood on solid ground while men with guns shouted orders that were not aimed at him.
26:59He had written what he knew.
27:01He had called home.
27:03The rest would come in its own time, through work and small, careful moves.
27:10For now, he listened to the quiet rhythm inside the car.
27:15The engine, the occasional click of the plastic bell, the steady breath in his own chest.
27:23The road ahead was not clear, but it was open.
