Will Sawyer:
All right, if we're gonna get out of here, you're gonna have to tell me the truth. How does a man like that call you his business partner?
Zhao Long Ji:
His name is Kores Botha. He handles extortion for three powerful crime syndicates. And when I began construction on the Pearl, Botha came to me. He said that if I didn't pay him, he'll cripple my labor force and keep me from ever completing this place.
Will Sawyer:
You paid him.
Zhao Long Ji:
Yes. But what he didn't know was that I hid tracking software inside my wire transfer. As Botha laundered my payments through their offshore accounts, I was able to trace every transaction, giving me their bank accounts, their names, their identities. This was my insurance policy. Botha would never be able to extort money from me again. But when the syndicates found out that they were compromised, they threatened to destroy Botha if he didn't clean up his mess. If he kills me, the copies I've made will be sent to the authorities. But if he gets his hands on this, the original, he can reverse-engineer my tracking software and hide the identities before anyone's the wiser.
Will Sawyer:
So he lit this entire building on fire knowing that you would take the most valuable thing in this world to you and run.
Zhao Long Ji:
And his plan worked.
Will Sawyer:
Not yet it hasn't. We're gonna give Botha what he came here for.
Zhao Long Ji:
As soon as he has the drive, he'll kill us both.
Will Sawyer:
Maybe. But he has my daughter. And her life is what matters to me, not mine.
