Following the capture of Ramsey, Kiet is the head of Mose Jakande's convoy transporting her to the terrorist waiting on the other end of the path in the Caucasus Mountains. When he realizes that they're being followed by Dominic Toretto and his crew, he attempts to kill them with the arsenal equipped on their vehicle. Despite his efforts, Dominic and the others are able to destroy the back of their transport, allowing Brian O'Conner to board.[1]
Kiet fought Brian, preventing him reaching Rasmey before he was knocked unconscious. Kiet regains consciousness as their transport heads for the edge of the cliff. Both Kiet and Brian head for the back of the bus, but Kiet reached the end first. He closes the gate that traps Brian at the front and mocked him for being "too slow". Kiet escaped from the bus right before it goes over a cliff.[1]

Half way up the stairway, Kiet intercepts Brian again and knocks him down. The two go sliding down the stairs on the door and crash below. Kiet attempts to crush Brian several times with nearby objects. However, at the last second, Brian hooked Kiet's belt to a weight and kicks the weight. forcing Kiet to be dragged down into an elevator shaft.[1] Mirroring their last encounter, Brian exacted revenge and taunted Kiet by shouting "Too slow!" at him as Kiet falls to his death.
