Chapter 32 Summary

The next day, Vanessa gushes to Nathan about how much the film’s financial backers loved his footage. She claims that the investors want to meet Nathan and have access to the DEA’s files on Gene and the other victims. Nathan agrees to go to Miami on the Skelter Films company jet.

Unbeknownst to Nathan, Vanessa takes a detour to arrange a fake passport for him. She also collects a pistol and some sedatives.

Chapter 33 Summary

Vanessa takes an earlier flight to Miami. Nathan joins Malcolm on the chartered jet. They drink on the flight—beer for Nathan, non-alcoholic beer for Malcolm. When Nathan is thoroughly inebriated, Malcolm slips the sedative into his drink. As soon as Nathan is asleep, the jet turns toward Jamaica. As they approach their destination, Malcolm lifts Nathan’s keys and plants a fake driver’s license and the fake passport. He also plants four kilos of cocaine in Nathan’s bag.

Malcolm tells the pilot that Nathan is unconscious from alcohol and might need medical help when they land. When they touch down, two Jamaican immigration officers enter the plane and check Malcolm’s and Nathan’s passports. Nathan is first removed to an ambulance, and then the immigration officers find the cocaine in Nathan’s bag.
