I'll quit after reaching 20

I was lucky to get out

I'll quit once I score another 15

I want to be alive to spend it

I'm not doing this for life

I don't want to get caught in my last days

Over the past few years

You three did the hard part

I'll let you decide

This is it. Nick...

I'll work with you!

That's right. Nick. You call the shot.

It hurts again?

I'm okay

But bad luck always comes in a row

Let's go pay tribute

to the Buddha in Thailand

Just hurry!

Pay me...

step aside

Wait there. I'll pay you

Boss...

We can give as much as you want

- Pay me... - One at a time!

What is this?

Does it taste good?

It's medicine. Don't drink it

Or your tummy will hurt. Understand?

Yes

Good girl

Have some candy

Stay away from the clinic for now

If you get into trouble.

Go to the rooftop and take the backstairs

I'll be gone for a few days

Take this

You've been so kind to me

I'm not going to let you down

Don't worry

I'll kick it this time

Chiang Mai. Thailand

Come over!

Don't play like that!

Hello

Thank you

Honey. Come look!

What do you think?

It's beautiful!

We're staying here tonight

You too. Okay?

...left to breathe for 6 hours

Pour it

Don't drink too much

Thanks

We're here to have fun. Let yourself go

Red wine can lower cholesterol

It's safe for pregnant women

Don't worry

Listen!

Since we're having caviar.

We must drink champagne

I'll make an exception...

and allow you kids to have a glass each

Cheers!

It's like grape juice. What's the big deal?

I want whiskey

Don't get your daddy upset!

Or I'll slap your face!

Cheers!

Cheers!

Cheers!

What is this?

We charge by the weight. Sir

That's ridiculous!

If the foreigners see us.

They'll think I can't afford it

No... they won't

What you mean. They won't?

What are we going to do

with such tiny bits?

We'll take it all! Now!

Take it away

Get rid of the scale!

Sorry

Sorry. Sir

Order some more

What an idiot!

What do you take me for?

Here. Eat!

Drink up

- Cheers. - Cheers.

This one is too revealing...

I should wear this

Even I'd wear it!

With your figure.

I would definitely flaunt it!

Give me a break

How does it go?

What a cry baby. It's just a bikini

She's too old to be shy

C'mon. She's still a young girl

So what? She'll be an old maid soon!

Tell her to be bold!

What's wrong?

After all these years...

...it's the first time

you've enjoyed life so freely

So it's a good thing

Why act like I've just died?

No. No. No... knock on wood

Lie down with me...

Knock on wood...

See? Push and pull... Now it's clean!

Yes

Meet me at the lobby

Sure

Don't go

Quin is waiting for me

Don't go

Thank you

Move on! Move On!

You are the rat!

A fellow dealer

saw great promise in a young man

He made him his protg

That young man...

...was as smart as you

...just as careful

A few years later

His cover was blown:

He was a snitch all along!

Why did you sell me out?!

Level with me now!

I risked my life for you all these years!

And you still doubt me?!

Why should I trust you?!

The merchandise

I gave you never hit the street!

Did you swallow it all?

Listen carefully

Tell the truth.

Or I'll shoot you right here!

You won't believe anything I say anyway!

What are you waiting for? Go ahead!

Pull the trigger!

Stop it!

You still owe me an explanation!

It went to Taiwan

Which part?

Say it!

Kaohsiung!

Phone

Hello

Yes?

Lao-Gao

Quin! What's up?

I just need to know...

Did someone make a delivery

to your turf a while ago?

No!

Well... Damn it...

Yes! You're well-informed

It's very much like your stuff

But more expensive

I promise not to buy from other people

Oh... something happened?!

Nothing's wrong

I'll call in a couple of days

Send my regards to your mom

Thanks. I will!

Okay. Okay! Dinner!

Come on!

It's over! Come over and eat!

Don't be childish. Sit down!

It was only a routine check!

I told you. Never take risks!

Not bad at all...

Your mark up is higher than mine

What kind of clients are they?

What now?

Afraid I'll steal your client?!

Spit it out!

"Fortune comes from the land"

Billions of dollars literally

spring from here

Other than oil and arms...

...drugs are the world's

largest source of trade

The Golden Triangle. The Golden Crescent...

...and Latin America

are the dominant producers of opium

The Golden Crescent is the borderland

between Afghan.

Pakistan and Iran

Most of their product goes to Europe

Latin America supplies to US and Canada

The Golden Triangle supplies to Asia

But such may change according

to the market demand

And guess what...

The US and European markets

are the most profitable

How?

Starting from the purchase from the farm...

...the value of the stock will snowball

continuously until it hits the streets

Try 1.000-fold

It's not as easy for the farmers though

Every acre of land here

yields 1.5 kg opium per year

That's about...

...US$100 a year

I feel sorry for them

Come here!

Come here!

Hey!

Bye!

Hello. My friend!

This is General Chachai

King of this region

He owns one of the militias in the region

I always have US$8M with him as collateral

My friend

You look terrible! It's your kidney!

Don't joke with me

How's your family?

My little girl is alright

But the older one...

acts like a boy and rebellious

I'm sending her to the US. And I'll get

my operation done there as well

My son is in LA

He skips classes and parties everyday

Let's trade our kids: You discipline mine

It's a deal

Nick

This is Nick. My brother

He'll handle our business from now on

I see. He is your protg

Yes

UN has even done market research for us

It says here...

The price in Iceland was the best

The market price there is US$372 per gram

Ireland is US$248

US plunges most. It's doing US$120

You see

There are 200M drug-users in the world

Heroin-use has decreased to 11M now

But Ecstasy-use has reached 8M

What's happening in Hong Kong?

The market is shrinking

Have some tea

After Khun Sa's defeat in 1995

The region has changed drastically.

Col. San Pwint...

...took over the Shan State.

He urged the farmers to quit...

...even made it illegal

to plant opium in 2005

ten thousands of farmers

were relocated to southern Burma...

...where they learned to plant rice and tea

What's that field for?

Someone paid US$60 per acre to plant corn!

I have something to show you

Half a year ago.

They suddenly dropped a 2000 lbs bomb here

My mother-in-law lives right there

She fell out of bed when it happened

Who sent you such a big present?

Some joint venture among

the heroin trafficking countries

They're warning me

The Golden Triangle is not the same anymore

Thailand no longer produces

Few months ago. Even Laos announced...

they would demolish all poppy fields

China and Burma are fighting drugs together

The farmlands in this region are downsizing

We don't even make up 10%

of the global supply

lmagine. Within 10 years.

The Golden Triangle
