Plot[]
The five all-female crew members of Les Cinq Doigts sit at a table inside a fight club and discuss their new mission in Roanapur. As they observe the Muay Thai match between Kittikhun and Somsak, the women insult the city's atmosphere and hope that their intel is actually reliable this time, unlike their failure in Nigeria. Le Pouce assures them that she is certain about Roanapur being the approximate location for their objective. After Kittikhun is knocked out, Le Majeur volunteers to fight in the ring against Somsak, much to the ring announcer's hesitancy. Dodging Somsak's moves, she flips him over and wins, much to the spectators and organizers' dismay. Having angered the crowd and messed with the bets, two men pull Majeur aside into the office of the promoter, who demands to know what she is thinking since he had the fight set up a certain way.
In response, the unconcerned Majeur states that she needs to see if she has business with him, annoying him. She asks him about several things, including the date September 18, 1989, the names of a few African men (Pierre Umwe, Luc Anum, Henri Zongo, Jean-Baptiste Boukary Lingani, and "La Mouche") in Burkina Faso, and the Akosia Trade Company, angrily confusing him. Stepping into the room, Majeur's comrades, Le Pouce, L'index, L'annulaire and L'auriculaire, ask Majeur why she took so long. Unsure of what she wants, the frustrated promoter orders his men to get the women out of his office, but the five women all swiftly shoot the gangsters except for the fight promoter. Pulling out a knife and kneeling down to the scared man, the smiling L'auriculaire asks him if he is ready to talk.
