2002
Special Operations operative Robert Scott and his trainee, Anton, investigate the disappearance of Laura Newton, leading them to a beach house where a failed rescue attempt seemingly confirms her death. Anton's insistence that Laura is alive prompts Scott to uncover a conspiracy where high-level government officials faked her death to protect her father's political career due to her involvement in a sex trafficking ring. With assistance from Jackie Black and intelligence from Avi, Scott tracks Laura to Dubai, where she is held by the trafficking operation. Scott infiltrates the compound, successfully rescues Laura, and ensures her safety by getting her onto a plane, despite government efforts to silence him and conceal the truth.

Robert Scott, Laura Newton, Stoddard, Jackie BlackThere is an Arab World. To penetrate it makes trying to join the Mafia look like a walk in the park. How would you do it, Scott? We're dying. We're at war. And we have no intelligence. How Would you do it? How would you infiltrate their clan structure? Where is the interface? It's at the whorehouse. That's where they go to get frisky, and that's where we listen to them. For the few, priceless hints that we get from that fucking sandpile. Had the girl been there, we would have moved heaven and earth - you know we would, and, we would have got her out. She was not there. She got drugged up and fell off a boat, and drowned. She's dead. That man, That man a sworn office of the Secret Service, went to get laid, and she died. And you are risking the lives of men and women in the field, because you won't take orders. How are you better than him? Yes. You had best look sheepish. What the fuck have you got to say?
...well, I guess you do have friends in High Places...I mean here you are home, n'all... And now we're gonna see if you also got all that money that you spoke of. This here's a Short Subject, if you know what I mean. Of you in Carnal Congress with an Underage Girl. A PROSTITUE, A MINOR, AND SOMEBODY'S DAUGHTER... There's another...you know how cheap it is to make a copy...?
Number one, the girl's dead. Number two, the hide-out gun the Agent shot with's registered in his 1020 for the past five years. The man who tossed him has been sacked. His name is none of your concern. Now: what the fuck are you doing here?
Now: you did me the honor to Call me. Now: you tell me how I might help. There in't nobody here, but two people in Green.
She, uh, she got her hair done...She cut it off. She dyed it blonde. I said she looked like a slut...and...
You're goddam right. Now: where's this new kid who got you all bothered. Where's your partner?
The fuck you will. You've got nothing to say to him. He's gone to the ground. Where is he...?
Sir: Day or Night. Black or White. You reach out for me. "Black, Jaqueline A. US 24191489."
