You see what you made me do?!

The casino--

There's a fortune to be made.

You want to be a part of it.

You needed to get away,

and here you are.

What happened?

Here. Some water.

Kaspar--He got the drop on me.

We can't stay here.

Should go back to Phnom Penh.

No, we can't.

Oh, man.

Have you eaten anything?

No.

Oh, sh*t.

Here.

Take this.

Take this

and go back to town...

and get yourself

something to eat.

I don't want you to get caught

in the middle of this.

These people very bad.

No good. No problem.

I stay with you.

I appreciate it, Sok.

You're a good man.

But you've got a family,

and they love you.

I guess this guy

is the closest thing I have...

to anything like that.

-You understand?

-Yes.

He's like your father.

Right.

So please, just take this money.

Head back to town, please.

We meeting back here.

Still haven't forgotten

what I owe you.

I know. You pay what you like.

I'll meet you back here.

Come on, you guys. Come on.

Don't do this! Don't!

Today, you dead.

You wanted to see Marvin?

Well...here he is.

Any time a foreigner

is killed...

it makes big problems for us.

But...

sometimes it is unavoidable...

as in this case.

Stop!

You really f***ed

yourself this time, kid.

Why the hell

don't you ever listen?

I told you to leave, didn't l?

What the f*** did you do?!

I had to do it.

Kaspar, the little weasel,

he turned.

He's with the Russians.

Then why did 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 will be that.

All this for what?

A f***ing casino?

Forget the casino.

It's history.

I 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 got to move quick, OK?

Look at what you've done.

You went too far.

You really lost it.

You would've done

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 sniffing around in

places they shouldn't have been.

It was just a question

of time for them.

Look, I told you before...

you reach a point

where you can't change.

You're the way

you're gonna be for the 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 said he 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.

Yes, I can. And that's

exactly what I'm gonna do.

-Stay out of this.

-Don't be foolish.

He's a contentious fella.

He could make

a lot of 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, f*** the plan!

Take the car.

It's got a full tank.

Take this piece.

Now, go on, Jimmy. Please go.

Go on.

Sh*t!

Sh*t!

Hold on.

Just hang in there.

-Hold on.

-Get me to the boat.

I got to get you

to the hospital.

There is no hospital.

Just get me--

-Get me to the boat.

-Where the f*** is the boat?

Down the hill. OK, I'm good.

I got you.

All right. I got you.

I got you. I got you.

OK, all right.

OK, I got you.

OK, I got you. Here.

Hey, Marvin...

where are we going on the boat?

-Where are we going?

-Come with me.

-You come with me.

-Where?

Spice lsland.

There's a...

there's a hundred of 'em.

Your mother and me...

Your mother and me...

Your mother and me...

It's OK.

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. I need

the fastest road...

to this place right here.

Udong. I know. Old capital.

Yeah? Can you get me there?

Yeah. No problem.

Sok, what are those things?

Durian. Tastes good.

For my wife.

Yeah? Is it supposed to smell

like that?

Yeah.

OK. Would you mind if we

put it in the trunk?

-Sure. No problem.

-All right.

Don't worry.

I'm a safety driver.

Hey. Wake up.

Where are we?

Here. Udong.

Udong.

I must have slept the whole way.

Sok, what do you think?

You like the car?

Not so good. Many bump.

Well...

I guess I'm gonna

have to give it...

to someone else, then.

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.

Hope your wife

won't be too angry.

No, that's OK.

-I'm king of my house.

-Good.

Thanks for everything, Sok.

You're a good man.

You have everything?

Yeah. I have everything.

Hey, Sophie!
