Seconds later, the police arrive, denying that the man was shot. That night, Rafferty is interrogated by Thai secret agents who demand to know what the dead man said, but Rafferty can''t remember. When he''s finally released, Rafferty arrives home to find that his apartment has been ransacked. In the days that follow, he realizes he''s under surveillance.
