City of Ghosts (2002) - full transcript
A con man flees to Southeast Asia when an international scam he was involved in goes sour. Suspecting he's been double-crossed by his long-time mentor, he sets off to Cambodia for his promised cut. What he finds there is a mysterious and hostile environment where even the most polished criminal can end up on deadly ground.
Hurricane Gabriel continues to pound the eastern seaboard.
It has now been upgraded to a category 4 hurricane.
Forecasters are predicting
major damage
and severe flooding
which we are already seeing in many parts of North Carolina.
Later, we go live to a tense scene some 300 miles north
where evacuees battle to stock up on food and water.
But first, the latest...
...for desperately needed medical aid.
Here at Gibraltar Point,
we have reports of entire communities being leveled.
Gusts as strong as 150 miles per hour strong enough to level homes.
Scores of residents
have heeded the call
and have been pouring into the shelter here at Gibraltar Point all night.
The big concern for them is, will they have a home to return to?
I don't know what to expect to find when I get back there,
but I'm sure we'll be talkingwith the insurance company.
Well, we do have insurance,
thank God.
I expect it'll take time,
but you know, eventually, we'll have our house back.
We've got insurance, so...
The Governor of North Carolina has declared
a state of emergency
in several...
Jimmy, we've got
a real mess on our hands.
I've been tryingto contact Mr. Nagel, but...
Jimmy Cremmins?
Yeah, I am. Uh...
What's going on here?
I'm Agent Burden with the FBI.
This is Agent Philips.
Can we have
a word with you? Sure.
AGENT BURDEN: Who's supposed to be in chargeof business operations?
He was based overseas.
He called nearly every day.
I just never...
I never met him in person.
We'll need you to comedown to the office, uh,
answer a few more questions.
Let's go over it
one more time.
I answered an ad...
...in The Tribune.
Capable Trust was lookingto fill some positions for...
...hmm, North American
headquarters, and...
Well, they hired
the right guy.
You're a hell
of a salesman, Jimmy.
Were there any other
offshore accounts
besides the ones in Zurich and the Caymans?
No. Not to my knowledge.
So they were the accounts you would draw from to pay claims.
Right.
It's gonna be tough to pay those claims, Jimmy.
Those accounts are empty.
It's not your fault, of course, but...
It is a shame.
All those innocent people lost their homes.
And you have no idea where we can find this Mr. Nagel?
Don't you want to help us, Jimmy?
What do you think?
Of course I do.
Mr. Nagel...
The name keeps coming up.
He wasn't lying.
I ran a check.
There was an ad in The Tribuneclassified section last September.
What do you think?
It's a sophisticatedPonzi scheme
like that outfit operatingout of Belgium last year.
Selling disaster insurancewith no intentionof paying any claims.
I bet the farm, this guyis connected somehow.
We just got tokeep on digging.
Collect call from United States from Jimmy.
I accept.
Jimmy, it's Kaspar.
Listen.
I need to talk to him now.
He's unreachable.
He's not in Bangkok. He's not in town.
He's not in...
Well, where is he?
Cambodia.
That's all I know.
But he's supposed to call in. Perhaps I can help.
Cambodia?
Well, we ran a check on you.
You came up clean.
We're sorry you hadto go through all this, but...
A lot of peoplegot swindled.
Even you were misled, so it seems.
This investigationis just now getting underway.
And we're gonnaneed your cooperationdown the road.
Listen, uh...
What's gonna happen to the people who lost their homes?
That'll be up tothe State Liquidation Bureau.
There'll be somekind of compensation, I imagine, but...
...nothing like thosepolicies promised.
And what about
this Mr. Nagel?
Any luck with him?
I'm afraid, Mr. Nagel never existed.
But when we pinpointwho it is that wasfronting that operation...
And we do believeit's someone fromyour office.
We'll get Mr. Nagel.
It's just
a matter of time.
Well, we would appreciate itif you'd stick
around towntill this thing's resolved.
Anything I can do to help.
Good.
Oh, one more thing.
We'd like it if you'd turn over your passport for the time being.
Of course you're
under no obligation.
My passport?
That's right.
You won't be needing it
unless you're planning
on leaving the country.
No, of course not.
Well, good luckwith the investigation.
Jimmy, welcome.
Hey! It's been a long time.
Did you get
my message? Yeah. Sure.
No trouble at all.
Have you been
paid any money yet?
No.
Neither have I.
I'm gonna level with you.
I think Marvinhas got himselfinto a bit of a jam.
With who?
With Nevesky and the Russians back in New York.
You didn't know?
They were our partners.
Now they're looking for him.
What's he doing
in Cambodia?
Casino.I don't know much about it.
Right.
There's someoneI want you to meet.
Rocky, come here.
Rocky, this is Jimmy.Jimmy, this is Rocky.
She's wonderful,
isn't she?
Rocky.
Rocky, no!
Rocky.
No, no, no.
No, no... Huh...
We talked about that.
We're engaged
to be married.
Congratulations.
She's a bit of a diamond
in the raw, you know.
I'll make a lady
out of her.
You should go up
to Chiang Mai.
It's fantastic up there,
bucolic scenery,
cheap guesthouses... Kasper.
I'm not going up
to Chiang Mai.
I'm here to see Marvin.
Well, he won't
be expecting you.
Good.
It'll be a surprise.
He'll be glad to see me.
It's been a while.
Well, there's two
morning flights.
If we don't talkbefore you leave,
let's meet the day aftertomorrow in Phnom Penh.
At noon, at the Belleville.
They can getyou a room there as well.
Hello? Teddy, it's me, Jimmy.
What's your plan?
I'm flying out firstthing in the morning.
Not so fast.
I had a buddy check back channels with someone in the agency.
The airport has a security company that's plugged into the embassy.
And your name and passport are in their system.
Shit. Hey, that's no sweat.
I'll get you across
the border.
I live down that way.
Now, there's
an overnight train
out of Hua Lamphong.
Get you in around 5 a.m.
Thanks. You know where I live?
Yeah.
Good. I'll meet
you at the station.
Thanks, Teddy.
We had some great times in Bangkok, Marvin and me.
But that was
a lifetime ago, kid.
And as the lady says...
"I no longer am
what I once was,
"nor ever shall be again."
I don't know what
the hell Marvin's up to.
You just be careful.
Something's changed in him.
You can't keep stealing from Peter to pay Paul.
Sooner or later,
Peter gets pissed off.
The main road is off-limits.
There was a French cyclist murdered there about a month ago.
You get waylaid...
...you won't be
writing any postcards.
Where you go, sir?
I'm looking
for the Belleville.
Yeah.
Well, I know. I know.
That's the place right here.You know this place?
Not so far.It's over there.
Okay. No, thanks.

Don't worry, sir,
I'm a safety driver.
Good.
This is the Belleville? Yeah. Belleville.
I see you took
the long way.
Not so long way.
What do I owe you?
No problem.
You pay after.
No, no.I wait here for you.
You sure? Yeah, sure
Excuse me.

I'm looking for
a guy named Kaspar.

A little hoity-toity for you?
Huh?

You know a place
called the Laughing Lotus?
Yes.
It's a brothel...
...on the otherside of town.
If you like karaokeand Vietnamese girlsthat place is for you.
Is everything okaywith the room?
The room's fine.
I don't remember requesting a monkey.
Hmm, monkey? Yeah.
Where?
In my room on the terrace.
There was a...
...a monkey.
No. No.
No. You must be mistaken.There is no monkeyin my hotel. No.
Oh, well,
maybe it was a dog,
but it looked an awful lot like a monkey.
It had hands.There is no monkeyin my hotel. No.
Everything else okaywith the room?
The air conditioner is on the blink.
It's laying on the floor.
Yes. I'll send you someonetomorrow morning,

Oh, uh...
My passport.Passport?
Yeah.
I gave it to you.
You did?
Remember? I put it
right here on the bar.
I thoughtyou took it back.
I got a friend in Bangkok
who lost his passport.
They put him on the list.Oh, shut up.You're scaring the man.
Oh, no. Wait a minute.That little cocksuckeryou were talking to...
He probably took it.
But, no, don't worry.He comes herevery often, you know
I will get it for you.
You don't

I'm on the list.
Son of a bitch! Go!
Go and don'tcome back! Go!
Street 213.Laughing Lotus.
Yes, I take you.
Why you go there?
Street 213 no good.
I got to meet someone.
Oh, you want
to meet someone.
Someday,
I buy moto-taxi.
How long have
you been doing this?
Long time.
More than 7 year.
First, I was in the army
in Kampong Thom.
You want to see my army picture?
Here.
How old are you here?
Twenty eight,
twenty nine. Not sure.
Not sure? Yeah.
How come?
Because all my documents were lost during the Khmer Rouge.
After I finish
my education,
I went to jointo the army
to fight the Khmer Rouge.
They kill my father.
Because he was a doctor.
I do not want themto kill people again.
What did you say

I'm Jimmy.
Stick around, Sok.
I won't be long.
Hi.
Is this the Laughing Lotus?
Yes.You like yum-yum? Come.
How are you? Where you come from?
United States.
You'll do all right
with that one, mate.
She'll give you
a run for your money.
This one here,
she's my girl. She's mine.
I'm taking
her away from here.
I'm taking her to Battambang,
to beauty school.
In Australia,
I'm putting her in college.
Beauty school.
Excuse me, sir.
There's a guy I'm supposed to meet,
uh, named Marvin.
You see this
papa- sanover here?
He's going down, man.
He's a scumbag.
He's a slave trader.
I'm going to take him out.
I'm gonna have to
take the fucker out.
Fuck it!
Give me a fucking beer!
Papa- san!
Hey! Get your hands... I'm taking her...

Oh, hey, Sok.

Many bad people.
Many bad people, all right.
Why did you take me here?
My house right over there.
Yeah, it's good place.
She's my friend.
She's a doctor.
How are you feeling?
I've felt better.
Bye-bye!
Yeah. Yes, they like
to say in English to you.
They think
that you like it.
If you want to stay longer in Cambodia,
you should try to be away from trouble.
I will try to beaway from trouble.
Thank you.Yes.
Excuse me.
What time did Marvin drop
off that note yesterday?
No, he didn't.
It was a Khmer.
He said he workedfor Marvin.
MAN: Who's looking for Marvin?
A friend of his.
You know where he is?
No. But I knowwho he hangs out with.
An ex-general named Sideth.
And that guy Marvin'sway out of his league.
Who are you? It doesn'tmatter who I am.
Emile.
You want a piece
of friendly advice?
Go back to whereverit is you came from,
and leave those people alone.
Emile.
Who's Sideth? A bad guy.
Anybody else come back
here looking for me?
I haven't seen anyone.
You know, things runon a different clock here.
My clock stopped when a B-40 rocket hit my jeep in Mondolkiri.
Really?
I still got
shrapnel in my neck.
You can see it.
Look.
I don't see anything.
Maybe you need
a pair of glasses.
He calls himself"the man of contradictions."
But he's a little bit...
This place attractthem like flies.
Oh, yeah.
Yes. I have Calvadosfrom my country.
Thanks.Have a glass.
What's her story?
Sophie?
No offense,
but guys like you and me,
we don't stand a chance.
No offense, but...
...speak for yourself.
Excuse me.
What? Those are my glasses.
Here, five dollars.Get yourself a new pair.
I'll take these back.Thanks.
Hi.
Thank you
so much for...
What happened
to your eye?
Oh, I was in the wrong placeat the wrong time.
Uh-huh, yeah,
you seem like that type.
Which type?
The wrong place,
wrong time type.
I guess that makes two of us.
Please.Sophie.
Gonna introduce usto your friend?
Jimmy.
Hi. Sabrina.Robbie.
Um, so this is for you.
So, uh, are you free for...
Tonight for dinner?
You know, I can't.
I've got plans tonight.
Oh.
We should go.
We're gonna be late.
Come on, Robbie.
You weren't on the plane.
Oh, wow.That's a new look for you.
You like it?
I can fix you up for one.
What happened? I got popped.
By who?
I don't know.
Well, you should be gratefulmoney's all they wanted.
You're luckyone of your kidneysisn't lying
at the bottomof somebody's ice chest.
They didn't take my money.
No?
Does Marvin know
where I'm staying?
Well, you can ask himwhen you see him.
I hate this country.
Hey, Jimmy boy.
Oh, shit.
Oh.
It's good to see you.Yeah.
So, come on.
What do you think
of the layout?
You know,
this is the old governor's residence.
Do you like it?
It could do witha fresh coat of paint.
The whole country
needs a paint job.
But that's part
of its charm.
Yeah.
I need to talk to Jimmy
alone for a second.
You want to wait outside?
Oh, yeah. Sure.
That was some placeyou sent me to yesterday.
I got your note.
What note?
The one you left
at the Belleville.
I didn't leave you any note.
No? No.
What are you doing here?
I thought
you wanted to see me.
I, what? I thought
you wanted to see me.
I'll call you
if I want to see you.
Go.Good-bye.
I have themboil everything, food, water.
Even the bed sheets
and the tablecloth.
85 % of the people
on the planet
are infested with some kind of microscopic bug.
Now,
with stats like that,
you know, you can't
be too careful.
You were supposed to stay put until you heard from me.
Yeah, well...
The Feds were all over me.
I had to get away.
Forget it.
Spilled milk.
And you, uh,
did an excellent job.I'm very proud of you, Jimmy.
I think in some ways
you're better off here.
I mean, this place is wide open.
A fortune to be made.
You are gonna want
to be a part of it.
Yeah, well,I'm not so sure, not after the last one.
We really soldthose people a bad deal.
If I had to do it
all over again,
if I could change things,
believe me, I would.
But Capable Trust
was a big score.
And you're gonna
get your cut.
I don't know.I've got enough bad karmato last me six lifetimes.
I don't need anymore.
Hey, look at you.
You're fried, man.
You're all burnt out.
It's okay,
'cause it happens to everybody.
You needed to get away,
and here you are.
Okay...
Marvin,
my mind's made up.
Hey, listen.
Why don't you give this thing to Kaspar?
Kaspar? No.
It's, uh...
It's just notthe same as you and me.
Hey. I'm gonna getyour money, but you gotto wait two or three days.
That's all right.
I got to figure out this passport thing.
I'll look into that.
Things got funny waysof turning up around here.
In the meantime, I want to see ifI could change your mind,
make you reconsider.Stick around.
Having a little get-togethertonight with
a few investorsfrom Hong Kong, uh...
A pig on a spit.
A few girls come by.
Nice.
Must be the General.
The ex-General.
Once a general, always a general.
He has contactswith police intelligence.He'll do anything for a buck,
and I like him.
General.
I brought some of my staff.
I hope it's okay.
Oh, it's wonderful.
Somnang, would you getsome drinks forour guests, please?
You should be cautious.
Sideth?
General,
this is my colleague
and financial advisor
from Hong Kong, Ming Chew.
How do you do?
He's going to be
accompanying me
to the coast
for our presentation.
Good. I have spokenwith our associatesin Kep,
and everything'sbeen arranged.
Casino?
Isn't thata little premature?
These peopledon't even have shoes.
Joseph, why don't you
stay out of this?
We won't need shoes
in my casino.
You don't need
shoes to lose.
You know, I have a...
I have a wonderful feeling
about the old casino
and its surroundings.
And from what I gather,
it could be the next Acapulco.
Kep, Acapulco...
Um, what would it cost
to change that name?
Why don't you call itMarvinville, Marvin?
Right. Uh...
Well, if you'll
just walk this way
I have something veryexciting to show you.
We begin with our flagship,
the 30-story, 500-rooms,
Silver Palace Hoteland Casino.
Connecting the hotelwith the casino
will bean air-conditioned tunnel
complete withmoving walkways.
Our hunting lodgeand firing range
will providea variety of weapons
such as M-16, AK-47
and the B-40 rocket.
Our big game park,
will be featuring
many exotic species
from around the world.
In addition will be
24 traditional bungalows,
featuring air-conditioning
and jacuzzis.
Go on!
Good boy.
There have been someadditional complaintsabout the monkey.
It's been pissingand shitting inthe bougainvillea.
If I catch him, I promise you...
I will feed himto Oliver, my python.
He loves monkey.
Oliver, Oliver,
the monkey.
Monkey.
As I discussed with Mr. Chew,
I have prepared some
cash flow projections
showing the cost of material,
the cost of labor.
Good morning, General.
You sleep well?
Yeah.
Sorry I'm late.
Can I speak
with you a moment? Yeah, sure.
Excuse me, gentlemen.
You might want to
have a look at this.
Nevesky.
They, um,
arrived in Bangkok yesterday afternoon.
Russians.
How did they find me?
What?
Hmm?
Well, you knowI wouldn't talk.
No, no, no.
Of course not.
And Jimmy...
Jimmy would never give me away.
No, no, no.
No, no. At leastnot deliberately.
Um, where is the kid?
He's at the Belleville.
I'll go talk to him.
Hi, sir.
Who is it?
It's me.
I need to talk to you.
Marvin's concernedhis whereaboutsmay have been revealed.
He has to get out of townfor a couple of days.
And he wants you to begone when he returns.
Here's a plane ticketback to Bangkok.
Five thousand dollars.
Well, you'll get the restwhen everything settles down.
You shouldleave immediately.
Not without my passport.
Thanks for the dough.
Jimmy...
Did Marvin mention anythingabout the money last night?
No.
It seems wrong.
We've been with himso long, he's beenlike a father to you.
Now to be treatedthis way...
What way?
We made nearly10 million dollarson that insurance job.
Which he's nowrolled over intothis casino.
He's up to his eyeballs
with this ex-Generaland his guys,
and you and l, we don't get to see a dime.
Look, Kaspar,
I'm not really concerned whether I get paid or not.
To tell you the truth...
I could care less about his partners,
his casino. It's all yours.
Just remember neverto let your personalfeelings for somebody
interfere with
your business.
Marvin doesn't.
No, he doesn't.
This is one of the oldest wats in Phnom Penh.
It sustained very little damage under the KR.
And obviously,
the murals on the inside which I showed you,
that's most of
the work that I do.
Mmm-hmm.
Let's hope they don'tinstall an escalator, like they did in Burma.
So...
What's next
on your plate?
Oh, um, Udong.
There's this huge
reclining Buddha
that was blown tosmithereens during the war.
Sounds like a big project.
Yeah. We're gonnabe away for ages.
When do you leave?
The day after tomorrow.
How come? Do you want
to come visit us?
Do I have to work?
Good fortuneon your journey.
This is an especially
lovely gesture, General.
Seemed appropriateon this auspicious day.
I spoke tothe Vice Governor of Kep.
He'll meet youat the disco at 9:00.
There'll be
a blue moon tonight.
The second full moonof the month, always lucky.
Ah, that's wonderful.
If you have any trouble, do not hesitate to call.
Everything's beentaken care of.
Hey. How's everything, my friend?
Good.Oh, again, I apologizefor the air conditioner.
You know, I'm sorry.
My guy was supposedto work on it, but he was drunk.
Come, have a... Have a rink with me.
Calvados. The best.
Okay.
Any luck with my passport?
No news, but smells good.
Hey!
Marvin came to see
you earlier.
This should make
things straight with us.
Something's come up,
and I've left town.
This time,
do not try to find me under any circumstances.
It isn't safe.
Make a new start for yourself.
I'll be in touch. Good luck.
Whoa!
Robbie!
You fucking idiot!
Oh, Robbie.
The Vice Governor called.He's sorry that you must wait.
There's some problem
on the roads.
He wants you
to feel welcome.
The beautiful ladies
will keep you companies.
MARVIN: I could use a good massage.
I'm not talkingabout the happy pull.
My back is reallykilling me.
When doesthe karaoke start? After.
Do you like whiskey?
Yeah, I love...
I love whiskey.
How do you think you're gonna get customers to your casino
if the roads aren't safe?
I'm really getting fed upwith your negative attitude.
Marvin, we've been
here for 3 hours.
This is outrageous.Let's get going.
Relax, Kaspar.You're on Cambodian time.
If you don't mind,I'd like to go backto the hotel
with my little friend here.
Soak in the tub, and go to bed.
Yeah. That's a good idea.
Sure. Go. Go ahead.
Take the car and make sure
you send the driver back.
Okay.
Hey!
Where you going?
Come back!
Hello?
SOPHIE: So, you still haven't told mewhat it is you're doing here.
Business.SOPHIE: Business?
Well, do you wantto be more specific?
I don't think
you'd be interested.Try me.
Hey,
when was this built?
Oh, it's Pre-Angkor.
Before there was Buddhism,
there was Brahmanismand Vishnuism.
You're not evenlistening to me.
Brahmanism and Vishnuism.
Is she boring you?
No.Robbie's really sick.
He's so wasted.
He's wet. He's gonna get
pneumonia or something.
Here.
Give him this.Oh.
Make sure he doesn't
throw up on it.
I can't promise you that
'cause he's off in space.
Robbie, put this on.
Snap out of it! You're not
my fucking mom.
Fuck you, dickhead!
Marvin?
Shit!
Hey, Robbie!
Where are you going?
Mr. Jimmy.
Hey!
Hi, I waslooking for you. Yeah.
What've you... I just,
uh...
I realized
I have to go back to town
because I have to do
something in the morning.
No, no, it's my passport.
Remember, I told you, it was stolen?
Yeah. All right.Yeah.
Well, how're you
gonna get back?
Uh... Well, take the moto.
Are you sure?
All right.Yeah, yeah, absolutely.
Hey, Jimmy.
Are you okay?
Oh, yeah! I'm fine!
I'm just fine.
But... No, no.
It's great.
Have you seen Robbie?
Um, no.
It's my fault.
No, it wasn't your fault.
No way.It is.
You can't
blame yourself.
Everyone knowswhat he was like.
How're we gonnaget him down?
We roll him.
Jimmy.
You don't know
what relief it's...
What's this?
You don't know this guy?
I do not.
Why don't you
have a closer look?
I've never seenhim in my life.
Hey! Stay out of this!
You're a fucking liar!
I should cut you right now.
You're making a mistake, Jimmy.
Oh?
Marvin's in trouble!
If there's going to beany blood spilled in my bar,
I'll do it!
Don't test me!
Put it away, Jimmy.
Okay.
What do you mean,
"Marvin's in trouble?"
Let me up and I'll tell you.
You nuts?
Shit!
Marvin's disappeared.
What do you mean
"disappeared"?
His bodyguardand business associatewere murdered in Kep.
You knowwhere the casino is?
Gulf town.400 klicks from here.
What about Marvin?
He's been abducted.
What do you mean
"he's been abducted?"
What makes
you so sure? Huh?
Because I was there.
I was lucky
to get out alive.
Yeah, right.
You know what I think?
I think
the whole thing stinks!
Look, come on!
You sent that guy
for me last night.
Tried to have me killed.
And now you're feeding me
some bullshit story
about how Marvin's disappeared.
He's been abducted!
What are youtalking about?
You know Marvinand I would donothing to harm you.
I mean, you're like a son to him.
He asked meto look after you!
What's the matter with you?
How could you even
think such a thing of me?
Jesus, look at you.
You're exhausted.
You don't make any sense.
Calm down, man!
What's in it?
Can you read this?
No. It's in Khmer.
What about Sok?
Tell your friend
they want money.
English,
for Christ's sake!
The ground in Cambodia
has many surprises.
You must be careful as you go.
Your friend, Marvin, has been foolish.
As you see,
he's paid a price.
You must do what we saywithout wasting time.
We demand five millionUS dollars.
You have 24 hours
to get the money.
What the fuckdid you say?
Five million dollars?
That's insane!
Yeah.
You fucking
black ass savage!
Hey! Hey!
Calm down!
Oh, forget it! Take it easy.
Who would be
behind this?
The Russians?
Maybe someone more local.
Who? Sideth?
Well, he set upthe meeting in Kep, didn't he?
He and Marvinhad business togetherand I don't trust him.
It doesn't make any sense!
Sideth and Marvin
were partners!
He's got nothing
to gain from this!
He knows everyone.
You should talk to him.
He can help you.
And now get this fucking thing out of my bar!
This is a considerable
sum of money.
I am as concerned
as you are.
Any ideawho would do this?
Oh, you knowoutside the capital
there is greater riskof kidnappings and murder.
Marvin understood this.
It could be bandits, ex-Khmer Rouge.
It's not uncommon.
Just the day beforea train was hijackeden route to the coast.
Two westerners were taken.
Backpackers with no money.
Five million dollars.
It's... It's an absurd request.
SIDETH: This is typicalof these things.
Of course,
they ask for more than they expect.
How much can you get?
I don't have access
to that kind of money.
Well, 10...
15,000 dollars, maybe.
That's not enough.
They know he's rich.
These men are likewild dogs.
I can get some more.
Oh, he paid you,
didn't he?
Go ahead
and set up that meeting.
Get the money andas soon as I havemore information,
I'll contact you.
Nevesky?
You look so surprised.
You know we were coming.
I didn't expect you
until next week.
But I wanted
to talk to you.
About what?
What is this?
It's a present for my fiancee in Bangkok.
So, where is myold partner, Marvin? I need to see him.
Well, he's not in town,
but he'll be back in a couple of days.
He's fine.
He's doing well.
But there's a problem.
What's wrong?
It's a problem with the deal.
I want all the money up front.
Up front?
Up front!
It's a problem.
No, you just give me all the money and I'll deliver Marvin.
Otherwise, no deal.
Uh...
Very, very good.
Very good.
Jimmy, what is it? What's wrong?
Do you remember the guy I told you I came here to see?
Yeah.Yeah.
Well, we were involved together in some business back in New York.
What kindof business?
Doesn't matter.
It's... I'll tell you about it sometime.
But, uh...
He's in a jam right now
and I can't leave him.
I can't go back
to my room tonight.
You can stay with me.
Thanks.
That guy you weretalking about,
his name's Marvin, right?
Yeah.
I know who he is.
He lives up in the oldgovernor's residenceby the river.
He tried to pay offthe RestorationCommittee once.
He wanted to tear it downand build some mini-martor something.
He made out that he's thisgreat philanthropistoffering huge donations.
Dr. Collinstold him to stuff it?
Yeah.
That's Marvin.
How come you gotinvolved with him?
I mean, why do you care about him?
It's different
between us.
What do you mean?
It just is.
It just is?
You really don'ttrust anybody, do you?
No.
Well, that's a shame.
Maybe it is.
But there's nothing I can do about it now,
you know?
That's rubbish!
You can't go throughyour life like that!
Well, that's
a tough one for me.
Look.
Marvin came into the picturewhen I was nine years old.
The truth is,
he and my mother were together before I was born.
They kept that from me.
He's your father? Yeah.
It was never
talked about.
Why?
It doesn't really matter,
but Marvin's
the only person
who ever gave a rat's ass
about me when I was a kid.
He also taught me to lie, steal, cheat,
get over on people.
How am I supposed
to trust anybody
when I don't
even trust myself?
It takes time.
Come on. Come on, you guys. Come on! Don't do this.
Don't. Please don't. Please don't.
Please don't.
Don't! Please!
Please! Please!
Hey, please.
Wait, don't, please! I don't want to... Please, I don't want to die!
Please don't do it!
Please don't do it!
Don't! Don't!
No!
No! Don't, don't, don't!
No!
No, no.
Please, please! No.
I... I was just...
All right!
Just bring the...
Bring the money!
Kaspar, just
bring the money.
They're gonna
kill me.
Do you recognizethe other two?
Yeah.
Yeah. I met them
at the Belleville...
...the other day.
The reason Marvin is alive is because he is a businessman.
He has money.
The other twoare useless to them.
Were you able to get
any of the ransom?
Yes.
SIDETH: How much?
I got enough.
SIDETH: We can only hopeit will be enough.
Enough.
They have instructedthat he is to bring the moneyto a neutral location.
Where?
Koh Slay, on the coast near Kep.
Where's the money now?
With me.
Bring it here.We mustn't waste time.
No, not on your
fucking life!
The money doesn't
leave my side.
It stays with me.
Do not underestimate
these people.
They do not negotiate.
Yeah, well, neither do I!
They get the...
...money up front.
Half of it.
And then after they deliver Marvin,
they get the rest.
You understand?
That's the deal!
SIDETH: As you wish.
But we must move quickly.
I don't trust any of these snake-eaters.
Sideth sets up a meeting and Marvin disappears.
Do the math yourself.
Just meet meat the Belleville
in the morning,9:00 a.m.,with the car.
Make sure it's gota full tank of gas.
Jimmy, you heard
their demands.
They want me
to deliver the money!
Forget it, Kaspar! All right.
I'm just trying to dowhat's good for Marvin. Okay?
Sophie?
Hey! Wait!
Wait!
It's mine.
Hey, Polin, it's fine.
It's okay. It's okay.
I was hoping maybe
you'd changed your mind.
Hey, Jimmy?
Will you give
this to Emile?
Oh, sure.
Oh, uh...
You should take this.
It's for a safe trip.
My cousin.
Let's see.
It's K-59.
Chinese made.
Fire?
Okay, okay, I buy, I buy.
How much? Fifty dollars.
Okay, here'sa hundred.
Bullets.All right.
No.
You look like a shit!
Do you remember, uh, when I first arrived here?
There was a guyI was talking toat the bar.
He was with Gerard.What's their story?
No! They're nobody,
you know!
A fucking couple of deadbeats!
They owe me money!
If they coming back,
I may kill them both!
Somebody may have alreadysaved you the trouble.
Oh...
This is for you.
It's from Sophie.
Sophie?
I never have any luckwith these things.
Neither do I.
Always die.
So that's your family, huh, Sok?
Yes, that my family.
Say good-bye me here.
That's nice.How old's the boy?
Oh, my son
is 16 years old.
He wants to be
a cyclo driver.
Sixteen, huh?
A chip offthe old block, huh?
Yeah. Now he's...
He can peddle a little bit of cyclo, but not so good.
For me,
I want him to go school.
What's he doing here?
He's coming with us.What?
I trust him,
which is more than I can say for you.
Now, open this trunk.
Good morning,
gentlemen.
You guys have breakfast?
Mmm. Good.
You follow me.
I can only take you so far
because if they see me or my men,
the deal could collapse.
It could be bad for Marvin.
So, once we get to the outskirts of Koh Slay,
you have to continue
on your own.
Shall we? Follow me.
I'm really worriedabout Marvin.
You don't trust me.
It's Sideth you should be worried about.
You take his instructionswithout a moment's reflection.
You got any, uh,
better ideas?
Huh?
I didn't think so.
Just do me a favor and keep your fucking mouth shut.
Where's the restof the money?
I got it.
You should leave it here.It's safer.
Thanks for your concern,
but it's taken care of.
What's next?
You keep goingdown this road until
you come to a small bridge.
Two kilometers after the bridge,
you'll find a Bo tree.
Bo tree is the tree
with a big trunk
with leaves shaped
like a heart.
Leave the money
up in the tree
and we'll be here waiting for you when you return.
Who's that?
What did he say?
He said
this is a holy place.
He asked me if you come to see the sacred tree.
Yeah. Tell himthat's what we're here to do.
And, uh, ask himif any other menhappened to come by
to visit the tree as well.
He say other menwere here earlierto visit tree.
What time?
Two hours before?
Two hours.
He say for us to leavebefore nightfall.
Okay.Road not safe.
Road's not safe? Okay.
Tell him thanks
for the advice.
He want a cigarette.
What does he want?
Cigarettes.
We're running
out of time, here.
Where're you going?
I'm pissing.
Is there a law against it?
It depends on where it lands.
It is a holy tree.
I'm baptizing it,
black ass.
Shit!
What're you looking at?
Where'd they go?
It's bad. I knew it.
Let's just
keep on driving.
We're sitting
ducks here, man.
What do you think, Sok?
Think they went back
to their village?
Koh Slay villageis just up the road.I go and see.
I walk.
Jimmy, I don't like this.Let's go back to Phnom Penh.
What about Sok?
Oh, forget that gook.He's one of them.
Let's go
while we can.
Marvin's probablydead already.
That leaves the two of us.
Maybe we could even go back to the tree and pick up the money!
You know, Kaspar, you sicken me!
Now, we're waiting for Sokand if you don't likethen take a fucking hike!
You stupid motherfucker!
You see what happens?
You see what
you made me do?
You...
The casino. There's a fortune to be made.
You wanna be a part of it.
You needed to get away
and here you are.
To tell you the truth,
I think in some ways
you're better off here.
What happened?
Here. Some water.
Oh!
Oh!
Kaspar, he gotthe drop on me.We can't stay here.
We should go back
to Phnom Penh.
No, we can't.
Oh, man! Have you eaten anything?
No.Oh, shit.
Here.
Here, take this.
Take thisand go back to town
No.
Look, I don'twant you to get caughtin the middle of this.
These people very bad.
No good, no problem.
I stay with you.
Okay.I appreciate it, Sok.
You're a good man.
But you've got a familyand they love you.
I guess this guyis the closest thingI have to anything like that.
You understand?
Yes. He's like
your father.
Right. So, please, just take this money.
Head backto town. Please! No, no.
We meeting back here.
Okay.
I still haven'tforgotten what I owe you.
I know. You pay
what you like.
I'll meet you back here.
Please! Please!
Come you, guys!
Come on!
Today, you dead.
You wantedto see Marvin?
Well, here he is.
Any timea foreigner's killed,
it makes big problems for us.
But sometimesit is unavoidable.
As in this case.
Stop!
You really fucked yourself this time, kid.
Why the hell
don't you ever listen?
I told you to leave,
didn't I?
What the fuck did you do?
I had to do it.
Kaspar, the little weasel,
he turned.
He's with the Russians.
Then why'd you let him go?
That's just what
I wanted to do.
He'll go back to the Russians empty-handed.
He'll have to tell them I'm dead and that'll be that.
All this for what?
A fucking casino?
Forget the casino.
That's history.
That was stupid to think they wouldn't track me down.
I gave it to him.
I got a boat.
I want you to come with me.
Marvin, it's over!I'm fed up!
I need you to get
on this boat with me
and we gotta
move quick, okay?
Look at whatyou've done, huh?
You went too far.You really lost it.
Yeah, well, you'd havedone the same thing! You're just like me!
You keep saying
that, Marvin.
Why?
Why, Marvin?
I know why.
And so do you.
Wait a minute.
Wait!
Here, you'll need this.Go ahead, it's yours.
Those kids were
way overextended.
They were sniffingaround in placesthey shouldn't have been.
It was justa question of timefor them.
Look, I told you before,
you reach a pointwhere you can't change.
You're the wayyou're gonna be forthe rest of your goddamn life
and that goes for you, too.
Take the suitcase and put it in the back of the car.
What's this?
This? This is his! That's what this is.
You saidhe was going with you.
I know what I said.He has a change of plans!
You can't let him walk away! It's too risky!
Oh, yes I can and that's exactly what I'm gonna do.
Stay out of this.Don't be foolish!
He's a contentious fellow.He could make a lotof trouble for me!
He's leaving
and that's that.
We do things my way,
or nobody gets nothing.
That wasn't part of the plan!
Well, fuck the plan!
Take the car.It's got a full tank.
Take this piece.
Now, go on, Jimmy. Please go.
Go on.
Shit!
Shit.
Oh, yeah.Hold on.
Just hang in there.
Hold on.Get me the boat!
I have to get youto the hospital.
No hospital.
Just get me to the boat.
Wait! Wait!
Get me to the boat.Down the hill.Where the fuck is the boat?
Down the hill? Okay,
I'm good. Yeah.
I got you.
I got you.All right.
I got you.I got you.
Here.All right.
I got you.
Okay.
Okay.All right.
Okay, I got you. Here.
Hey, Marvin?
Where are we going,
huh, on the boat?
Huh? Where're
we going? You come with me.
You come with me? Where?
Spice Island.
There's... There's 100 of them.
Your mother and me, uh...
Oh, your mother and me...
You're...
You're mother and me...
It's okay.
Hey. Hey, come on.
Hang in there.
You can't change.
You're just like me.
Where you want to go now? Back to Phnom Penh?
No, no, I need the, uh...
...fastest road
to this place right here.
Yeah, Udong.I know.
Old capital.
Yeah?
Can you get me there?
Yeah! No problem.
Sok, what are those things?
Durian. Taste good.
For my wife.
Yeah. Is it supposedto smell like that? Yeah.
Okay. Would you mindif we put it in the trunk?
No. No, problem.All right.
Don't worry,
I'm a safety driver.
We're here. Wake up.
Where are we?
Here. Udong.
Udong?
I must've sleptthe whole way.Yes.
So, Sok? Yes.
What do you think?
Like the car?
Not so good. Many bump.
Oh.
Guess I'll have to give itto someone else, then.
No, no, no, no...
No?
Car good, road bad!
Good, well,
you can keep it.
Really?
You give for me? Yeah, for you.
Well, I guess this is it.
I'll walk the rest
of the way.
I hope your wife
won't be too angry.
No, it's okay.I'm king of my house.
Good.
Thanks for everything, Sok.
You're a good man.
You have everything?
Oh, yeah.
I have everything.
Hey, Sophie.
It has now been upgraded to a category 4 hurricane.
Forecasters are predicting
major damage
and severe flooding
which we are already seeing in many parts of North Carolina.
Later, we go live to a tense scene some 300 miles north
where evacuees battle to stock up on food and water.
But first, the latest...
...for desperately needed medical aid.
Here at Gibraltar Point,
we have reports of entire communities being leveled.
Gusts as strong as 150 miles per hour strong enough to level homes.
Scores of residents
have heeded the call
and have been pouring into the shelter here at Gibraltar Point all night.
The big concern for them is, will they have a home to return to?
I don't know what to expect to find when I get back there,
but I'm sure we'll be talkingwith the insurance company.
Well, we do have insurance,
thank God.
I expect it'll take time,
but you know, eventually, we'll have our house back.
We've got insurance, so...
The Governor of North Carolina has declared
a state of emergency
in several...
Jimmy, we've got
a real mess on our hands.
I've been tryingto contact Mr. Nagel, but...
Jimmy Cremmins?
Yeah, I am. Uh...
What's going on here?
I'm Agent Burden with the FBI.
This is Agent Philips.
Can we have
a word with you? Sure.
AGENT BURDEN: Who's supposed to be in chargeof business operations?
He was based overseas.
He called nearly every day.
I just never...
I never met him in person.
We'll need you to comedown to the office, uh,
answer a few more questions.
Let's go over it
one more time.
I answered an ad...
...in The Tribune.
Capable Trust was lookingto fill some positions for...
...hmm, North American
headquarters, and...
Well, they hired
the right guy.
You're a hell
of a salesman, Jimmy.
Were there any other
offshore accounts
besides the ones in Zurich and the Caymans?
No. Not to my knowledge.
So they were the accounts you would draw from to pay claims.
Right.
It's gonna be tough to pay those claims, Jimmy.
Those accounts are empty.
It's not your fault, of course, but...
It is a shame.
All those innocent people lost their homes.
And you have no idea where we can find this Mr. Nagel?
Don't you want to help us, Jimmy?
What do you think?
Of course I do.
Mr. Nagel...
The name keeps coming up.
He wasn't lying.
I ran a check.
There was an ad in The Tribuneclassified section last September.
What do you think?
It's a sophisticatedPonzi scheme
like that outfit operatingout of Belgium last year.
Selling disaster insurancewith no intentionof paying any claims.
I bet the farm, this guyis connected somehow.
We just got tokeep on digging.
Collect call from United States from Jimmy.
I accept.
Jimmy, it's Kaspar.
Listen.
I need to talk to him now.
He's unreachable.
He's not in Bangkok. He's not in town.
He's not in...
Well, where is he?
Cambodia.
That's all I know.
But he's supposed to call in. Perhaps I can help.
Cambodia?
Well, we ran a check on you.
You came up clean.
We're sorry you hadto go through all this, but...
A lot of peoplegot swindled.
Even you were misled, so it seems.
This investigationis just now getting underway.
And we're gonnaneed your cooperationdown the road.
Listen, uh...
What's gonna happen to the people who lost their homes?
That'll be up tothe State Liquidation Bureau.
There'll be somekind of compensation, I imagine, but...
...nothing like thosepolicies promised.
And what about
this Mr. Nagel?
Any luck with him?
I'm afraid, Mr. Nagel never existed.
But when we pinpointwho it is that wasfronting that operation...
And we do believeit's someone fromyour office.
We'll get Mr. Nagel.
It's just
a matter of time.
Well, we would appreciate itif you'd stick
around towntill this thing's resolved.
Anything I can do to help.
Good.
Oh, one more thing.
We'd like it if you'd turn over your passport for the time being.
Of course you're
under no obligation.
My passport?
That's right.
You won't be needing it
unless you're planning
on leaving the country.
No, of course not.
Well, good luckwith the investigation.
Jimmy, welcome.
Hey! It's been a long time.
Did you get
my message? Yeah. Sure.
No trouble at all.
Have you been
paid any money yet?
No.
Neither have I.
I'm gonna level with you.
I think Marvinhas got himselfinto a bit of a jam.
With who?
With Nevesky and the Russians back in New York.
You didn't know?
They were our partners.
Now they're looking for him.
What's he doing
in Cambodia?
Casino.I don't know much about it.
Right.
There's someoneI want you to meet.
Rocky, come here.
Rocky, this is Jimmy.Jimmy, this is Rocky.
She's wonderful,
isn't she?
Rocky.
Rocky, no!
Rocky.
No, no, no.
No, no... Huh...
We talked about that.
We're engaged
to be married.
Congratulations.
She's a bit of a diamond
in the raw, you know.
I'll make a lady
out of her.
You should go up
to Chiang Mai.
It's fantastic up there,
bucolic scenery,
cheap guesthouses... Kasper.
I'm not going up
to Chiang Mai.
I'm here to see Marvin.
Well, he won't
be expecting you.
Good.
It'll be a surprise.
He'll be glad to see me.
It's been a while.
Well, there's two
morning flights.
If we don't talkbefore you leave,
let's meet the day aftertomorrow in Phnom Penh.
At noon, at the Belleville.
They can getyou a room there as well.
Hello? Teddy, it's me, Jimmy.
What's your plan?
I'm flying out firstthing in the morning.
Not so fast.
I had a buddy check back channels with someone in the agency.
The airport has a security company that's plugged into the embassy.
And your name and passport are in their system.
Shit. Hey, that's no sweat.
I'll get you across
the border.
I live down that way.
Now, there's
an overnight train
out of Hua Lamphong.
Get you in around 5 a.m.
Thanks. You know where I live?
Yeah.
Good. I'll meet
you at the station.
Thanks, Teddy.
We had some great times in Bangkok, Marvin and me.
But that was
a lifetime ago, kid.
And as the lady says...
"I no longer am
what I once was,
"nor ever shall be again."
I don't know what
the hell Marvin's up to.
You just be careful.
Something's changed in him.
You can't keep stealing from Peter to pay Paul.
Sooner or later,
Peter gets pissed off.
The main road is off-limits.
There was a French cyclist murdered there about a month ago.
You get waylaid...
...you won't be
writing any postcards.
Where you go, sir?
I'm looking
for the Belleville.
Yeah.
Well, I know. I know.
That's the place right here.You know this place?
Not so far.It's over there.
Okay. No, thanks.
I got it.
Where you from, sir?
The United States.Oh, yes, I know.Very good.
My name Sok.
Sok, Jimmy.
Is this place far? Not so far.
Don't worry, sir,
I'm a safety driver.
Good.
This is the Belleville? Yeah. Belleville.
I see you took
the long way.
Not so long way.
What do I owe you?
No problem.
You pay after.
No, no.I wait here for you.
You sure? Yeah, sure
Excuse me.
Yeah?
I'm looking for
a guy named Kaspar.
I don't know everyone
who comes to this place.
What is your name? Jimmy.
Can I get you something?
A beer.Beer.
Jimmy.
"Laughing Lotus. Marvin."
Beer.Thanks!
Hey, man.
You remember me?
Am I supposed to?
You look awfully familiar.
Don't we know each other?
I don't think so.
You're Robbie, right?
No. Nah.
My apologies.
Excuse me.
Yeah.
I was told that

A little hoity-toity for you?
Huh?

You know a place
called the Laughing Lotus?
Yes.
It's a brothel...
...on the otherside of town.
If you like karaokeand Vietnamese girlsthat place is for you.
Is everything okaywith the room?
The room's fine.
I don't remember requesting a monkey.
Hmm, monkey? Yeah.
Where?
In my room on the terrace.
There was a...
...a monkey.
No. No.
No. You must be mistaken.There is no monkeyin my hotel. No.
Oh, well,
maybe it was a dog,
but it looked an awful lot like a monkey.
It had hands.There is no monkeyin my hotel. No.
Everything else okaywith the room?
The air conditioner is on the blink.
It's laying on the floor.
Yes. I'll send you someonetomorrow morning,
you know.He'll have a look.
Oh, uh...
My passport.Passport?
Yeah.
I gave it to you.
You did?
Remember? I put it
right here on the bar.
I thoughtyou took it back.
I got a friend in Bangkok
who lost his passport.
They put him on the list.Oh, shut up.You're scaring the man.
Oh, no. Wait a minute.That little cocksuckeryou were talking to...
He probably took it.
But, no, don't worry.He comes herevery often, you know
I will get it for you.
You don't
want to be on the list.
I'm on the list.
Son of a bitch! Go!
Go and don'tcome back! Go!
Street 213.Laughing Lotus.
Yes, I take you.
Why you go there?
Street 213 no good.
I got to meet someone.
Oh, you want
to meet someone.
Someday,
I buy moto-taxi.
How long have
you been doing this?
Long time.
More than 7 year.
First, I was in the army
in Kampong Thom.
You want to see my army picture?
Here.
How old are you here?
Twenty eight,
twenty nine. Not sure.
Not sure? Yeah.
How come?
Because all my documents were lost during the Khmer Rouge.
After I finish
my education,
I went to jointo the army
to fight the Khmer Rouge.
They kill my father.
Because he was a doctor.
I do not want themto kill people again.
What did you say
your name was?
Call me Sok.
I'm Jimmy.
Stick around, Sok.
I won't be long.
Hi.
Is this the Laughing Lotus?
Yes.You like yum-yum? Come.
How are you? Where you come from?
United States.
You'll do all right
with that one, mate.
She'll give you
a run for your money.
This one here,
she's my girl. She's mine.
I'm taking
her away from here.
I'm taking her to Battambang,
to beauty school.
In Australia,
I'm putting her in college.
Beauty school.
Excuse me, sir.
There's a guy I'm supposed to meet,
uh, named Marvin.
You see this
papa- sanover here?
He's going down, man.
He's a scumbag.
He's a slave trader.
I'm going to take him out.
I'm gonna have to
take the fucker out.
Fuck it!
Give me a fucking beer!
Papa- san!
Hey! Get your hands... I'm taking her...
I'm taking herto Battambang. I'm takingyou to beauty school.
Get the fuck off me,
you motherfucker...
Hello!
Hello. She fix you.
- Bye-bye.
- Bye-bye.
Oh, hey, Sok.
Hello!
I should havelistened to you.Yeah.
That place no good.
Many bad people.
Many bad people, all right.
Why did you take me here?
My house right over there.
Yeah, it's good place.
She's my friend.
She's a doctor.
How are you feeling?
I've felt better.
Bye-bye!
Yeah. Yes, they like
to say in English to you.
They think
that you like it.
If you want to stay longer in Cambodia,
you should try to be away from trouble.
I will try to beaway from trouble.
Thank you.Yes.
Excuse me.
What time did Marvin drop
off that note yesterday?
No, he didn't.
It was a Khmer.
He said he workedfor Marvin.
MAN: Who's looking for Marvin?
A friend of his.
You know where he is?
No. But I knowwho he hangs out with.
An ex-general named Sideth.
And that guy Marvin'sway out of his league.
Who are you? It doesn'tmatter who I am.
Emile.
You want a piece
of friendly advice?
Go back to whereverit is you came from,
and leave those people alone.
Emile.
Who's Sideth? A bad guy.
Anybody else come back
here looking for me?
I haven't seen anyone.
You know, things runon a different clock here.
My clock stopped when a B-40 rocket hit my jeep in Mondolkiri.
Really?
I still got
shrapnel in my neck.
You can see it.
Look.
I don't see anything.
Maybe you need
a pair of glasses.
He calls himself"the man of contradictions."
But he's a little bit...
This place attractthem like flies.
Oh, yeah.
Yes. I have Calvadosfrom my country.
Thanks.Have a glass.
What's her story?
Sophie?
No offense,
but guys like you and me,
we don't stand a chance.
No offense, but...
...speak for yourself.
Excuse me.
What? Those are my glasses.
Here, five dollars.Get yourself a new pair.
I'll take these back.Thanks.
Hi.
Thank you
so much for...
What happened
to your eye?
Oh, I was in the wrong placeat the wrong time.
Uh-huh, yeah,
you seem like that type.
Which type?
The wrong place,
wrong time type.
I guess that makes two of us.
Please.Sophie.
Gonna introduce usto your friend?
Jimmy.
Hi. Sabrina.Robbie.
Um, so this is for you.
So, uh, are you free for...
Tonight for dinner?
You know, I can't.
I've got plans tonight.
Oh.
We should go.
We're gonna be late.
Come on, Robbie.
You weren't on the plane.
Oh, wow.That's a new look for you.
You like it?
I can fix you up for one.
What happened? I got popped.
By who?
I don't know.
Well, you should be gratefulmoney's all they wanted.
You're luckyone of your kidneysisn't lying
at the bottomof somebody's ice chest.
They didn't take my money.
No?
Does Marvin know
where I'm staying?
Well, you can ask himwhen you see him.
I hate this country.
Hey, Jimmy boy.
Oh, shit.
Oh.
It's good to see you.Yeah.
So, come on.
What do you think
of the layout?
You know,
this is the old governor's residence.
Do you like it?
It could do witha fresh coat of paint.
The whole country
needs a paint job.
But that's part
of its charm.
Yeah.
I need to talk to Jimmy
alone for a second.
You want to wait outside?
Oh, yeah. Sure.
That was some placeyou sent me to yesterday.
I got your note.
What note?
The one you left
at the Belleville.
I didn't leave you any note.
No? No.
What are you doing here?
I thought
you wanted to see me.
I, what? I thought
you wanted to see me.
I'll call you
if I want to see you.
Go.Good-bye.
I have themboil everything, food, water.
Even the bed sheets
and the tablecloth.
85 % of the people
on the planet
are infested with some kind of microscopic bug.
Now,
with stats like that,
you know, you can't
be too careful.
You were supposed to stay put until you heard from me.
Yeah, well...
The Feds were all over me.
I had to get away.
Forget it.
Spilled milk.
And you, uh,
did an excellent job.I'm very proud of you, Jimmy.
I think in some ways
you're better off here.
I mean, this place is wide open.
A fortune to be made.
You are gonna want
to be a part of it.
Yeah, well,I'm not so sure, not after the last one.
We really soldthose people a bad deal.
If I had to do it
all over again,
if I could change things,
believe me, I would.
But Capable Trust
was a big score.
And you're gonna
get your cut.
I don't know.I've got enough bad karmato last me six lifetimes.
I don't need anymore.
Hey, look at you.
You're fried, man.
You're all burnt out.
It's okay,
'cause it happens to everybody.
You needed to get away,
and here you are.
Okay...
Marvin,
my mind's made up.
Hey, listen.
Why don't you give this thing to Kaspar?
Kaspar? No.
It's, uh...
It's just notthe same as you and me.
Hey. I'm gonna getyour money, but you gotto wait two or three days.
That's all right.
I got to figure out this passport thing.
I'll look into that.
Things got funny waysof turning up around here.
In the meantime, I want to see ifI could change your mind,
make you reconsider.Stick around.
Having a little get-togethertonight with
a few investorsfrom Hong Kong, uh...
A pig on a spit.
A few girls come by.
Nice.
Must be the General.
The ex-General.
Once a general, always a general.
He has contactswith police intelligence.He'll do anything for a buck,
and I like him.
General.
I brought some of my staff.
I hope it's okay.
Oh, it's wonderful.
Somnang, would you getsome drinks forour guests, please?
You should be cautious.
Sideth?
General,
this is my colleague
and financial advisor
from Hong Kong, Ming Chew.
How do you do?
He's going to be
accompanying me
to the coast
for our presentation.
Good. I have spokenwith our associatesin Kep,
and everything'sbeen arranged.
Casino?
Isn't thata little premature?
These peopledon't even have shoes.
Joseph, why don't you
stay out of this?
We won't need shoes
in my casino.
You don't need
shoes to lose.
You know, I have a...
I have a wonderful feeling
about the old casino
and its surroundings.
And from what I gather,
it could be the next Acapulco.
Kep, Acapulco...
Um, what would it cost
to change that name?
Why don't you call itMarvinville, Marvin?
Right. Uh...
Well, if you'll
just walk this way
I have something veryexciting to show you.
We begin with our flagship,
the 30-story, 500-rooms,
Silver Palace Hoteland Casino.
Connecting the hotelwith the casino
will bean air-conditioned tunnel
complete withmoving walkways.
Our hunting lodgeand firing range
will providea variety of weapons
such as M-16, AK-47
and the B-40 rocket.
Our big game park,
will be featuring
many exotic species
from around the world.
In addition will be
24 traditional bungalows,
featuring air-conditioning
and jacuzzis.
Go on!
Good boy.
There have been someadditional complaintsabout the monkey.
It's been pissingand shitting inthe bougainvillea.
If I catch him, I promise you...
I will feed himto Oliver, my python.
He loves monkey.
Oliver, Oliver,
the monkey.
Monkey.
As I discussed with Mr. Chew,
I have prepared some
cash flow projections
showing the cost of material,
the cost of labor.
Good morning, General.
You sleep well?
Yeah.
Sorry I'm late.
Can I speak
with you a moment? Yeah, sure.
Excuse me, gentlemen.
You might want to
have a look at this.
Nevesky.
They, um,
arrived in Bangkok yesterday afternoon.
Russians.
How did they find me?
What?
Hmm?
Well, you knowI wouldn't talk.
No, no, no.
Of course not.
And Jimmy...
Jimmy would never give me away.
No, no, no.
No, no. At leastnot deliberately.
Um, where is the kid?
He's at the Belleville.
I'll go talk to him.
Hi, sir.
Who is it?
It's me.
I need to talk to you.
Marvin's concernedhis whereaboutsmay have been revealed.
He has to get out of townfor a couple of days.
And he wants you to begone when he returns.
Here's a plane ticketback to Bangkok.
Five thousand dollars.
Well, you'll get the restwhen everything settles down.
You shouldleave immediately.
Not without my passport.
Thanks for the dough.
Jimmy...
Did Marvin mention anythingabout the money last night?
No.
It seems wrong.
We've been with himso long, he's beenlike a father to you.
Now to be treatedthis way...
What way?
We made nearly10 million dollarson that insurance job.
Which he's nowrolled over intothis casino.
He's up to his eyeballs
with this ex-Generaland his guys,
and you and l, we don't get to see a dime.
Look, Kaspar,
I'm not really concerned whether I get paid or not.
To tell you the truth...
I could care less about his partners,
his casino. It's all yours.
Just remember neverto let your personalfeelings for somebody
interfere with
your business.
Marvin doesn't.
No, he doesn't.
This is one of the oldest wats in Phnom Penh.
It sustained very little damage under the KR.
And obviously,
the murals on the inside which I showed you,
that's most of
the work that I do.
Mmm-hmm.
Let's hope they don'tinstall an escalator, like they did in Burma.
So...
What's next
on your plate?
Oh, um, Udong.
There's this huge
reclining Buddha
that was blown tosmithereens during the war.
Sounds like a big project.
Yeah. We're gonnabe away for ages.
When do you leave?
The day after tomorrow.
How come? Do you want
to come visit us?
Do I have to work?
Good fortuneon your journey.
This is an especially
lovely gesture, General.
Seemed appropriateon this auspicious day.
I spoke tothe Vice Governor of Kep.
He'll meet youat the disco at 9:00.
There'll be
a blue moon tonight.
The second full moonof the month, always lucky.
Ah, that's wonderful.
If you have any trouble, do not hesitate to call.
Everything's beentaken care of.
Hey. How's everything, my friend?
Good.Oh, again, I apologizefor the air conditioner.
You know, I'm sorry.
My guy was supposedto work on it, but he was drunk.
Come, have a... Have a rink with me.
Calvados. The best.
Okay.
Any luck with my passport?
No news, but smells good.
Hey!
Marvin came to see
you earlier.
This should make
things straight with us.
Something's come up,
and I've left town.
This time,
do not try to find me under any circumstances.
It isn't safe.
Make a new start for yourself.
I'll be in touch. Good luck.
Whoa!
Robbie!
You fucking idiot!
Oh, Robbie.
The Vice Governor called.He's sorry that you must wait.
There's some problem
on the roads.
He wants you
to feel welcome.
The beautiful ladies
will keep you companies.
MARVIN: I could use a good massage.
I'm not talkingabout the happy pull.
My back is reallykilling me.
When doesthe karaoke start? After.
Do you like whiskey?
Yeah, I love...
I love whiskey.
How do you think you're gonna get customers to your casino
if the roads aren't safe?
I'm really getting fed upwith your negative attitude.
Marvin, we've been
here for 3 hours.
This is outrageous.Let's get going.
Relax, Kaspar.You're on Cambodian time.
If you don't mind,I'd like to go backto the hotel
with my little friend here.
Soak in the tub, and go to bed.
Yeah. That's a good idea.
Sure. Go. Go ahead.
Take the car and make sure
you send the driver back.
Okay.
Hey!
Where you going?
Come back!
Hello?
SOPHIE: So, you still haven't told mewhat it is you're doing here.
Business.SOPHIE: Business?
Well, do you wantto be more specific?
I don't think
you'd be interested.Try me.
Hey,
when was this built?
Oh, it's Pre-Angkor.
Before there was Buddhism,
there was Brahmanismand Vishnuism.
You're not evenlistening to me.
Brahmanism and Vishnuism.
Is she boring you?
No.Robbie's really sick.
He's so wasted.
He's wet. He's gonna get
pneumonia or something.
Here.
Give him this.Oh.
Make sure he doesn't
throw up on it.
I can't promise you that
'cause he's off in space.
Robbie, put this on.
Snap out of it! You're not
my fucking mom.
Fuck you, dickhead!
Marvin?
Shit!
Hey, Robbie!
Where are you going?
Mr. Jimmy.
Hey!
Hi, I waslooking for you. Yeah.
What've you... I just,
uh...
I realized
I have to go back to town
because I have to do
something in the morning.
No, no, it's my passport.
Remember, I told you, it was stolen?
Yeah. All right.Yeah.
Well, how're you
gonna get back?
Uh... Well, take the moto.
Are you sure?
All right.Yeah, yeah, absolutely.
Hey, Jimmy.
Are you okay?
Oh, yeah! I'm fine!
I'm just fine.
But... No, no.
It's great.
Have you seen Robbie?
Um, no.
It's my fault.
No, it wasn't your fault.
No way.It is.
You can't
blame yourself.
Everyone knowswhat he was like.
How're we gonnaget him down?
We roll him.
Jimmy.
You don't know
what relief it's...
What's this?
You don't know this guy?
I do not.
Why don't you
have a closer look?
I've never seenhim in my life.
Hey! Stay out of this!
You're a fucking liar!
I should cut you right now.
You're making a mistake, Jimmy.
Oh?
Marvin's in trouble!
If there's going to beany blood spilled in my bar,
I'll do it!
Don't test me!
Put it away, Jimmy.
Okay.
What do you mean,
"Marvin's in trouble?"
Let me up and I'll tell you.
You nuts?
Shit!
Marvin's disappeared.
What do you mean
"disappeared"?
His bodyguardand business associatewere murdered in Kep.
You knowwhere the casino is?
Gulf town.400 klicks from here.
What about Marvin?
He's been abducted.
What do you mean
"he's been abducted?"
What makes
you so sure? Huh?
Because I was there.
I was lucky
to get out alive.
Yeah, right.
You know what I think?
I think
the whole thing stinks!
Look, come on!
You sent that guy
for me last night.
Tried to have me killed.
And now you're feeding me
some bullshit story
about how Marvin's disappeared.
He's been abducted!
What are youtalking about?
You know Marvinand I would donothing to harm you.
I mean, you're like a son to him.
He asked meto look after you!
What's the matter with you?
How could you even
think such a thing of me?
Jesus, look at you.
You're exhausted.
You don't make any sense.
Calm down, man!
What's in it?
Can you read this?
No. It's in Khmer.
What about Sok?
Tell your friend
they want money.
English,
for Christ's sake!
The ground in Cambodia
has many surprises.
You must be careful as you go.
Your friend, Marvin, has been foolish.
As you see,
he's paid a price.
You must do what we saywithout wasting time.
We demand five millionUS dollars.
You have 24 hours
to get the money.
What the fuckdid you say?
Five million dollars?
That's insane!
Yeah.
You fucking
black ass savage!
Hey! Hey!
Calm down!
Oh, forget it! Take it easy.
Who would be
behind this?
The Russians?
Maybe someone more local.
Who? Sideth?
Well, he set upthe meeting in Kep, didn't he?
He and Marvinhad business togetherand I don't trust him.
It doesn't make any sense!
Sideth and Marvin
were partners!
He's got nothing
to gain from this!
He knows everyone.
You should talk to him.
He can help you.
And now get this fucking thing out of my bar!
This is a considerable
sum of money.
I am as concerned
as you are.
Any ideawho would do this?
Oh, you knowoutside the capital
there is greater riskof kidnappings and murder.
Marvin understood this.
It could be bandits, ex-Khmer Rouge.
It's not uncommon.
Just the day beforea train was hijackeden route to the coast.
Two westerners were taken.
Backpackers with no money.
Five million dollars.
It's... It's an absurd request.
SIDETH: This is typicalof these things.
Of course,
they ask for more than they expect.
How much can you get?
I don't have access
to that kind of money.
Well, 10...
15,000 dollars, maybe.
That's not enough.
They know he's rich.
These men are likewild dogs.
I can get some more.
Oh, he paid you,
didn't he?
Go ahead
and set up that meeting.
Get the money andas soon as I havemore information,
I'll contact you.
Nevesky?
You look so surprised.
You know we were coming.
I didn't expect you
until next week.
But I wanted
to talk to you.
About what?
What is this?
It's a present for my fiancee in Bangkok.
So, where is myold partner, Marvin? I need to see him.
Well, he's not in town,
but he'll be back in a couple of days.
He's fine.
He's doing well.
But there's a problem.
What's wrong?
It's a problem with the deal.
I want all the money up front.
Up front?
Up front!
It's a problem.
No, you just give me all the money and I'll deliver Marvin.
Otherwise, no deal.
Uh...
Very, very good.
Very good.
Jimmy, what is it? What's wrong?
Do you remember the guy I told you I came here to see?
Yeah.Yeah.
Well, we were involved together in some business back in New York.
What kindof business?
Doesn't matter.
It's... I'll tell you about it sometime.
But, uh...
He's in a jam right now
and I can't leave him.
I can't go back
to my room tonight.
You can stay with me.
Thanks.
That guy you weretalking about,
his name's Marvin, right?
Yeah.
I know who he is.
He lives up in the oldgovernor's residenceby the river.
He tried to pay offthe RestorationCommittee once.
He wanted to tear it downand build some mini-martor something.
He made out that he's thisgreat philanthropistoffering huge donations.
Dr. Collinstold him to stuff it?
Yeah.
That's Marvin.
How come you gotinvolved with him?
I mean, why do you care about him?
It's different
between us.
What do you mean?
It just is.
It just is?
You really don'ttrust anybody, do you?
No.
Well, that's a shame.
Maybe it is.
But there's nothing I can do about it now,
you know?
That's rubbish!
You can't go throughyour life like that!
Well, that's
a tough one for me.
Look.
Marvin came into the picturewhen I was nine years old.
The truth is,
he and my mother were together before I was born.
They kept that from me.
He's your father? Yeah.
It was never
talked about.
Why?
It doesn't really matter,
but Marvin's
the only person
who ever gave a rat's ass
about me when I was a kid.
He also taught me to lie, steal, cheat,
get over on people.
How am I supposed
to trust anybody
when I don't
even trust myself?
It takes time.
Come on. Come on, you guys. Come on! Don't do this.
Don't. Please don't. Please don't.
Please don't.
Don't! Please!
Please! Please!
Hey, please.
Wait, don't, please! I don't want to... Please, I don't want to die!
Please don't do it!
Please don't do it!
Don't! Don't!
No!
No! Don't, don't, don't!
No!
No, no.
Please, please! No.
I... I was just...
All right!
Just bring the...
Bring the money!
Kaspar, just
bring the money.
They're gonna
kill me.
Do you recognizethe other two?
Yeah.
Yeah. I met them
at the Belleville...
...the other day.
The reason Marvin is alive is because he is a businessman.
He has money.
The other twoare useless to them.
Were you able to get
any of the ransom?
Yes.
SIDETH: How much?
I got enough.
SIDETH: We can only hopeit will be enough.
Enough.
They have instructedthat he is to bring the moneyto a neutral location.
Where?
Koh Slay, on the coast near Kep.
Where's the money now?
With me.
Bring it here.We mustn't waste time.
No, not on your
fucking life!
The money doesn't
leave my side.
It stays with me.
Do not underestimate
these people.
They do not negotiate.
Yeah, well, neither do I!
They get the...
...money up front.
Half of it.
And then after they deliver Marvin,
they get the rest.
You understand?
That's the deal!
SIDETH: As you wish.
But we must move quickly.
I don't trust any of these snake-eaters.
Sideth sets up a meeting and Marvin disappears.
Do the math yourself.
Just meet meat the Belleville
in the morning,9:00 a.m.,with the car.
Make sure it's gota full tank of gas.
Jimmy, you heard
their demands.
They want me
to deliver the money!
Forget it, Kaspar! All right.
I'm just trying to dowhat's good for Marvin. Okay?
Sophie?
Hey! Wait!
Wait!
It's mine.
Hey, Polin, it's fine.
It's okay. It's okay.
I was hoping maybe
you'd changed your mind.
Hey, Jimmy?
Will you give
this to Emile?
Oh, sure.
Oh, uh...
You should take this.
It's for a safe trip.
My cousin.
Let's see.
It's K-59.
Chinese made.
Fire?
Okay, okay, I buy, I buy.
How much? Fifty dollars.
Okay, here'sa hundred.
Bullets.All right.
No.
You look like a shit!
Do you remember, uh, when I first arrived here?
There was a guyI was talking toat the bar.
He was with Gerard.What's their story?
No! They're nobody,
you know!
A fucking couple of deadbeats!
They owe me money!
If they coming back,
I may kill them both!
Somebody may have alreadysaved you the trouble.
Oh...
This is for you.
It's from Sophie.
Sophie?
I never have any luckwith these things.
Neither do I.
Always die.
So that's your family, huh, Sok?
Yes, that my family.
Say good-bye me here.
That's nice.How old's the boy?
Oh, my son
is 16 years old.
He wants to be
a cyclo driver.
Sixteen, huh?
A chip offthe old block, huh?
Yeah. Now he's...
He can peddle a little bit of cyclo, but not so good.
For me,
I want him to go school.
What's he doing here?
He's coming with us.What?
I trust him,
which is more than I can say for you.
Now, open this trunk.
Good morning,
gentlemen.
You guys have breakfast?
Mmm. Good.
You follow me.
I can only take you so far
because if they see me or my men,
the deal could collapse.
It could be bad for Marvin.
So, once we get to the outskirts of Koh Slay,
you have to continue
on your own.
Shall we? Follow me.
I'm really worriedabout Marvin.
You don't trust me.
It's Sideth you should be worried about.
You take his instructionswithout a moment's reflection.
You got any, uh,
better ideas?
Huh?
I didn't think so.
Just do me a favor and keep your fucking mouth shut.
Where's the restof the money?
I got it.
You should leave it here.It's safer.
Thanks for your concern,
but it's taken care of.
What's next?
You keep goingdown this road until
you come to a small bridge.
Two kilometers after the bridge,
you'll find a Bo tree.
Bo tree is the tree
with a big trunk
with leaves shaped
like a heart.
Leave the money
up in the tree
and we'll be here waiting for you when you return.
Who's that?
What did he say?
He said
this is a holy place.
He asked me if you come to see the sacred tree.
Yeah. Tell himthat's what we're here to do.
And, uh, ask himif any other menhappened to come by
to visit the tree as well.
He say other menwere here earlierto visit tree.
What time?
Two hours before?
Two hours.
He say for us to leavebefore nightfall.
Okay.Road not safe.
Road's not safe? Okay.
Tell him thanks
for the advice.
He want a cigarette.
What does he want?
Cigarettes.
We're running
out of time, here.
Where're you going?
I'm pissing.
Is there a law against it?
It depends on where it lands.
It is a holy tree.
I'm baptizing it,
black ass.
Shit!
What're you looking at?
Where'd they go?
It's bad. I knew it.
Let's just
keep on driving.
We're sitting
ducks here, man.
What do you think, Sok?
Think they went back
to their village?
Koh Slay villageis just up the road.I go and see.
I walk.
Jimmy, I don't like this.Let's go back to Phnom Penh.
What about Sok?
Oh, forget that gook.He's one of them.
Let's go
while we can.
Marvin's probablydead already.
That leaves the two of us.
Maybe we could even go back to the tree and pick up the money!
You know, Kaspar, you sicken me!
Now, we're waiting for Sokand if you don't likethen take a fucking hike!
You stupid motherfucker!
You see what happens?
You see what
you made me do?
You...
The casino. There's a fortune to be made.
You wanna be a part of it.
You needed to get away
and here you are.
To tell you the truth,
I think in some ways
you're better off here.
What happened?
Here. Some water.
Oh!
Oh!
Kaspar, he gotthe drop on me.We can't stay here.
We should go back
to Phnom Penh.
No, we can't.
Oh, man! Have you eaten anything?
No.Oh, shit.
Here.
Here, take this.
Take thisand go back to town
No.
Look, I don'twant you to get caughtin the middle of this.
These people very bad.
No good, no problem.
I stay with you.
Okay.I appreciate it, Sok.
You're a good man.
But you've got a familyand they love you.
I guess this guyis the closest thingI have to anything like that.
You understand?
Yes. He's like
your father.
Right. So, please, just take this money.
Head backto town. Please! No, no.
We meeting back here.
Okay.
I still haven'tforgotten what I owe you.
I know. You pay
what you like.
I'll meet you back here.
Please! Please!
Come you, guys!
Come on!
Today, you dead.
You wantedto see Marvin?
Well, here he is.
Any timea foreigner's killed,
it makes big problems for us.
But sometimesit is unavoidable.
As in this case.
Stop!
You really fucked yourself this time, kid.
Why the hell
don't you ever listen?
I told you to leave,
didn't I?
What the fuck did you do?
I had to do it.
Kaspar, the little weasel,
he turned.
He's with the Russians.
Then why'd you let him go?
That's just what
I wanted to do.
He'll go back to the Russians empty-handed.
He'll have to tell them I'm dead and that'll be that.
All this for what?
A fucking casino?
Forget the casino.
That's history.
That was stupid to think they wouldn't track me down.
I gave it to him.
I got a boat.
I want you to come with me.
Marvin, it's over!I'm fed up!
I need you to get
on this boat with me
and we gotta
move quick, okay?
Look at whatyou've done, huh?
You went too far.You really lost it.
Yeah, well, you'd havedone the same thing! You're just like me!
You keep saying
that, Marvin.
Why?
Why, Marvin?
I know why.
And so do you.
Wait a minute.
Wait!
Here, you'll need this.Go ahead, it's yours.
Those kids were
way overextended.
They were sniffingaround in placesthey shouldn't have been.
It was justa question of timefor them.
Look, I told you before,
you reach a pointwhere you can't change.
You're the wayyou're gonna be forthe rest of your goddamn life
and that goes for you, too.
Take the suitcase and put it in the back of the car.
What's this?
This? This is his! That's what this is.
You saidhe was going with you.
I know what I said.He has a change of plans!
You can't let him walk away! It's too risky!
Oh, yes I can and that's exactly what I'm gonna do.
Stay out of this.Don't be foolish!
He's a contentious fellow.He could make a lotof trouble for me!
He's leaving
and that's that.
We do things my way,
or nobody gets nothing.
That wasn't part of the plan!
Well, fuck the plan!
Take the car.It's got a full tank.
Take this piece.
Now, go on, Jimmy. Please go.
Go on.
Shit!
Shit.
Oh, yeah.Hold on.
Just hang in there.
Hold on.Get me the boat!
I have to get youto the hospital.
No hospital.
Just get me to the boat.
Wait! Wait!
Get me to the boat.Down the hill.Where the fuck is the boat?
Down the hill? Okay,
I'm good. Yeah.
I got you.
I got you.All right.
I got you.I got you.
Here.All right.
I got you.
Okay.
Okay.All right.
Okay, I got you. Here.
Hey, Marvin?
Where are we going,
huh, on the boat?
Huh? Where're
we going? You come with me.
You come with me? Where?
Spice Island.
There's... There's 100 of them.
Your mother and me, uh...
Oh, your mother and me...
You're...
You're mother and me...
It's okay.
Hey. Hey, come on.
Hang in there.
You can't change.
You're just like me.
Where you want to go now? Back to Phnom Penh?
No, no, I need the, uh...
...fastest road
to this place right here.
Yeah, Udong.I know.
Old capital.
Yeah?
Can you get me there?
Yeah! No problem.
Sok, what are those things?
Durian. Taste good.
For my wife.
Yeah. Is it supposedto smell like that? Yeah.
Okay. Would you mindif we put it in the trunk?
No. No, problem.All right.
Don't worry,
I'm a safety driver.
We're here. Wake up.
Where are we?
Here. Udong.
Udong?
I must've sleptthe whole way.Yes.
So, Sok? Yes.
What do you think?
Like the car?
Not so good. Many bump.
Oh.
Guess I'll have to give itto someone else, then.
No, no, no, no...
No?
Car good, road bad!
Good, well,
you can keep it.
Really?
You give for me? Yeah, for you.
Well, I guess this is it.
I'll walk the rest
of the way.
I hope your wife
won't be too angry.
No, it's okay.I'm king of my house.
Good.
Thanks for everything, Sok.
You're a good man.
You have everything?
Oh, yeah.
I have everything.
Hey, Sophie.
