ahead and pull the trigger.

But if you don't end it here...

...and you get your ass

on that plane to America...

...your future will be sitting

right next to you.

His name is Bruce

and he's a really good guy...

...and he's gonna look

into your eyes...

and he's gonna fall in love.

And after that

you're on your own.

So what do you say?

Do I pull the trigger...

...or do you get your ass

on that plane...

...and have a wonderful life?

How do I know that

you tell the truth?

How do I know there is

a bullet in the chamber?

That sure is pretty.

Where did you get it?

In a curio shop in Belleville.

I got it for my daughter.

I've got a little girl myself.

She'll be ten next June.

Do you remember

the name of the store?

I make a lot of deliveries there.

I'd sure like to get her something

like that for her birthday.

You give this to her.

That's sure nice of you.

She'll just love it.

Its just for a little girl.

When she grows up,

she'll think it's too silly.

So just take it

and hang it right there.

So that, when you're

on the road...

...your little girl will always

be with you.

Sir is not at home

at the moment!

What are you doing,

dodging bill collectors?

- I don't understand.

- Nick, a**hole, it's Johnny!

- I know who you are.

- What are you doing?

Well just trying to catch

a little lightning in a bottle.

- Are you eating?

- Barely.

How would you like

to make some real money?

- What are you selling, John?

- You know who Bruce Hewitt Watts is?

- The new American ambassador?

- Bingo.

He's got this wife and three kids but

no one seems to have a picture of them.

Well, yeah maybe they're camera shy?

There are some people, they like

to keep their home life private.

I know that is weird

but they do.

What's happening to you? D'you found

a f***ing god? You owe me, pal.

Then I guess I have

to keep on owing you.

That's your half.

There it is a little under

four million.

That's the best I could do.

I had to fence them off one at a time.

Sorry that it took so long but

it was the safest way.

Not bad for a night's work, huh?

You call that work?

Goodbye, Laure. It's best

we don't see each other again.

Gather around for the picture!

Let's wait for the sun.

- Excuse me lady, are you all right?

- It was an accident, it was a terr...

Sorry, I'm just so shook up.

Actually, you look like

you need a drink...

A drink?

Yes. Come on.

I'm sorry...

You look so familiar.

Haven't we met before?

Somewhere?

Only in my dreams.
