You need to fix this.

You are foreigner, you can get money.

I'll try...

I'll try any way I can to help you.

Chef? Spaghetti, Macaroni?

Chef? No...

DJ in pub?

DJ? No...

You can do anything?

I'll try anything!

Sis, he said he'll fight at "Fight Club"

to get money for the shop.

If you want to fight to help fix the shop,

I'll teach you Thai boxing.

But you need to go through the

"Teacher Salutation" ritual first.

I've been through this ritual before.

If you want to learn Thai boxing with me,

you'll have to go through this ritual.

Shuffle.

- Shuffle.

Soaring swan.

- Soaring swan.

Garuda fighting Naga.

- Garuda fighting Naga.

Hold your ground.

I can't translate, sis.

Kick. Twist your hip. Turn your leg down.

Twist hip and punch leg.

Kick.

- Kick

Kick.

- Kick

Punch.

Try it.

Are you ok?

Why come to Thailand?

I won first prize in a lucky draw.

Atrip to Pattaya.

I was ecstatic...

not just because of the trip, but because

I got my name in the newspaper.

The crowing achievement of my life.

That's unfortunate luck.

What's unfortunate luck?

He won a prize to come to Thailand.

But he got robbed naked here!

That's the story of my life.

I've always been a loser.

I've never really achieved anything.

Worked as a laborer... kept out of trouble.

When I look at you two,

I feel embarassed about myself.

Something about him being a loser,

not a fighter like you.

What... That's all he said?

So many words, but absolutely no skills!

Don't be nitpicking me.

Tell him a fighter must have

a heart of diamond.

And diamonds must be polished

to shine. People, too.

Whoa, sis. How can I translate that?

I'm not a Ph.D.

Just translate whatever you can.

She said, "Fight strong... Diamond..."

"Heart..."

"Fight."

An invaluable diamond s has been stolen from

the vault of Wilfrid Diamond International...

Which belongs to Mike Wilfrid,

an English billionaire.

The stolen diamond is called

the "Camellia Diamond"s,

and was brought especially

for the World Jewelry Fair.

This Camellia Diamond s was considered

to be the highlight of this show,

because of its priceless beauty and perfection.

Have you finished gazing at them yet?

I'll never tire of admiring them.

But if it concerns you,

close the laptop.

This is a most beautiful key.

You've really created a work of art here.

Women would swoon at this alone.

I'll do my job...

Hey, there's no problem.

We take a flight to Brunei in two or three days,

deliver the package,

get paid, and then we'll go our separate ways.

Hey, two to three days in Pattaya.

C'mon... Party city! Let's get it on.

Show us you can be a good host.

That's a good idea, bro... Let's party!

- C'mon.

Just tell me what you like.

- Party!

Cheers, guys.

If you want to fight here,

I can take care of that.

You just won the boxing contest

at North Pattaya, didn't you?

Do you need anything else?

No, thanks a lot, Yong.

Anyway, you're welcome.

The match is starting.

Feel free to stick around.

Wow, you're famous, sis!

Can I have an autograph?

He got kicked in the face.

Thrown to the corner.

Greenbay is asking for applause,

cheering up a roundhouse kick.

What is that, he didn't make it.

What in the world?

Now he's dragging him up by the neck...

using the "Dragon Sleeper" move

to break his neck.

He's finished.

Very dangerous, this move.

His legs up in the air. What does the referee say?

He's counting One... Two... Three...

And the fight is over with that

"Dragon Sleeper" move. What a finish!

Oooh... I haven't seen better!

Hey sis, do you think the big guy

can get out alive?

I don't know.

Should we make him eat 'Som Tum'

before the fight?

Forget about it.

He's clueless about fighting.

He would get badly beat up.

Yeah, he has the perfect body,

but sucks bad at fighting.

I'm sorry... I can't fight.

Isn't there something else I can do?

Yeah, something else?

What?

Can't fight?

- Can't fight.

How 'bout strip?

- Strip?

Strip...

No no no no... Can't dance.

Can't dance. No way.

- Ha... that would be funny,

a giant go-go dancer.

No go-go... - Yeah, kind of sexy,

people like weird stuff like that.

Dance for me.

No... No.

- Come on, come on. Please!

'Pattaya Tourist Service Center'

- Did you bring your notification with you?

Yes I did.

If you get your passport,

will you go home immediately?

No, no... First I get money

to fix restaurant first.

Are you sure?

- Absolutely.

I keep my word.

Where are you going?

Close the door.

He was the one we drugged the other night.

Please... Give me back my passport.

No... Go back, go back.

He's a cop.

Yes, make it easy by turning yourselves in.

Are you okay?

Please, can you help me find my passport?

Get the hell away from me.

Sit down!

I forgot to tell you. It's unloaded.

I forgot to tell you. I also have my own gun.

Is it loaded?

Son of a b*tch, I was just asking.

You didn't have to shoot!

Did the police find the big guy's passport?

Don't worry about him.

The police are taking care of that.

How about mom?

She seems worried.

How can we get money to help her?

Do you remember Yong at Fight Club?

A boxing match? No way.

Mom would kill me.

Let's try. I'll ask mom,

maybe she'll allow it.

Please, mom. It's only a Thai boxing

dancing contest. It won't be long.

- Dancing on the stage. What stage?

Is it a Go-Go stage?

No, a boxing stage. There's a prize

for the winner. Really.

- Thai boxing dancing contest?

Ok, you can go.

Hooray, mom said yes!

- When is it? I'll go with you.

It's tonight. But you don't need to go,

A lot of tourists will be there,

they might hit on you.

- As if anyone will really hit on me.

So you wanna go for sure, mom?

Yes, she said ok. Hurry up.

We have to go pick up the big guy.

Paul Howard lays a kick onto Bearman's neck.

Whoa, he doesn't waste a moment.

He's getting on the rope,

jumps down to attack Bearman.

Bearman hits back. Wow, that's brutal.

Sit down. Sit down here.

Watch and enjoy the match.

...Three. The fight is over.

Bearman is the winner.

Ladies and gentlemen, the next fight

will be a very special match...

you've never seen anything llike this

anywhere in the world.

In the red corner, from Pattaya,

the champion of women's Thai boxing.

'Dokya TalayThai'

Holy sh*t, it's a girl!!

Hey, she should have been a stripper instead!

- Her opponent tonight is a rising star.

Please give a round of applause to...

'Ritdej Sitkruthong! '

This time you're dead, dog girl!

That bastard arranged for a man to fight you.

Let's go home, sis.

Just leave. What would they say?

- For this match, they will only fight two rounds.

No scores will be given.

The fight will be decided only by a knockout.

The pay is good. So mom can fix the shop.

Nothing else matters.

If Dokya can knock him out,

you can win up to 10 times your bet.

But if you're convinced the male boxer

can't possibly lose,

then place your bets!

- And now is the time you've been waiting for,
