- When I was a little girl,

my mother used to tell

me story about a princess

who lived on a beautiful

island surrounded

by turquoise waters

where the sky kissed the sea.

When the princess

met her prince,

their love grew stronger

than the waves crashing

against the shore.

So when I met Jack

one day on the beach,

he was everything I

had been searching for.

I thought it was fate.

But I had forgotten

something very important.

Every fairy tale has a monster.

In my life story, the monster's

name was Gan Cerrancurie.

A man whom I later

found out was a ruthless

crime lord.

Little did I know, our path's

were destined to collide.

- Now, a little Birdy

told me you're very bitter

about land deals that

happened between our families.

Where supposedly my

family got land that

belongs to you.

You have to understand,

that wasn't me.

- I should have squashed

you a long time ago,

when I had a chance.

- Let's bury the hatchet.

- No.

In Cambodia, there is not

enough room for the both of us.

- That means one

of us has to die.

- We will leave it to fate.

- You were always a cheat.

- In matters of life and death,

there is no cheating.

Just living and dying.

- Who's choice of weapons.

- High sword.

Winner take all.

- Well that puts me

at a disadvantage

because you're a master of

the knives and the swords.

Maybe I'll survive.

Maybe I will get lucky.

Maybe not.

You're out of practice,

my old friend.

I expected more from you.

Gentlemen, mysteriously

our competitors are gone.

You all have done a great job.

I just want to say that

violence is the last resort

because it attracts

a lot of attention,

but when we have no choice,

we're pretty good at it.

Good job.

Celebrate.

- Ok, Sam.

Bank's around the corner,

man, are you ready?

- I know what time it is, Jack.

- Just try not to shoot me

with that thing, ok pal?

Jesus Christ.

- Hold on.

- Can we go now?

- Let's go.

- Everybody freeze.

If you don't speak English.

- Don't even think about it.

Down.

- Cooperate with us

and nobody gets hurt.

You, manager.

Open, open, open, out, out, out.

- One minute.

- Come on, man.

Go, go, go, go.

- Keep down.

Move.

- Ok, we're good,

get out of here.

- A minute forty five, go.

You

- Come on, man.

- Holy sh*t.

What do they do with

all this US currency?

I mean, this is like a

crazy amount of money.

- How much money do

you think that is?

- I haven't got a clue,

I've been busy.

- What would a small

bank in Cambodia

have this much cash, man?

- Stop complaining,

we scored, mate.

We scored.

- I'm not complaining,

what if they check the bags

on the border?

- Trust me, they won't.

- Good thing, I brought this.

- Great.

You expect us to

tape this amount

of cash to our bodies?

- Tough guy like you

scared of some tape?

- It's not the taping

I'm worried about.

It's taking it off, my son.

Taking it off.

- You're a harry bastard, man.

It'll do you some good.

- Jesus Christ.

You're always trying

to call that chick.

You need to get a life, mate.

- She is my life, man.

- You're so whipped.

Is that why you're doing this?

- Maybe.

What's it to you?

- It just makes me nervous

working with such a p*ssy.

- Whatever, man.

Let's get you taped up.

- No, no, no, after you, mate.

Turn around and bend over.

- Get off of me, you f***er.

This is serious.

Just f***ing tape me.

Thank you.

- Thank you kindly.

- Hey, baby.

- Hey you.

- Want to do me a favor

and ditch that thing?

- I just started work.

- You just finished work.

Believe me.

- My mother

died when I was young

but she taught me not to

take shortcuts in life.

When I got older, I

didn't go for the quick

cash in go-go bars like

some other girls I knew.

Jack and I were working

towards our dream

so that some day we

can live on a beautiful

island together.

Can I open my eyes yet?

- No, not yet.

I'll tell you when it's ok.

Ok.

Open them.

- It's the one that I saw from

the store window last week.

I love it.

Really, I do.

But honey, we can't afford this.

- That's the surprise part.

Come here.

Let me show you something.

Come on, baby.

Come on.

Look.

- Oh my god.

What is that?

- That is why you

don't have to work

at the club anymore, Avalon.

And it's all yours.

- I don't understand.

Where did you get it?

- Don't ask me where or how

or why.

I'll tell you why.

It's because I love you.

I want you to stick around.

- I'm not going anywhere.

I love you.

Don't you know that?

You have to tell

me where you got

all this money.

- Avalon, honey, I'm serious.

It's better that

you just don't know.

- So, how do I explain

where I got it?

- You can't explain

this to anybody, ok?

Now, honey, I'm not

telling you what to do,

but we can't spend this

money right now, ok?

Maybe we can have a little fun,

but I'm going to put most

of it away somewhere safe.

- You're crazy, you know that?

- I'm crazy for you.

- You know what we should do?

- What?

- We should go on holiday.

To an island.

Like where we met.

- Anything you want, baby doll.

I'm going to go clean up, ok?

I'll be right back.

Don't go anywhere.

- I think you've

been naughty, Jack.

- Oh yeah?

Is it naughty time?

Woah, woah, baby

that's not a toy.

- You didn't tell me

you had a gun, Jack.

- It slipped my mind.

Don't point that.

- Don't worry so much.

The safety is on.

Come here.

Why don't you...

Do me on all of this cash.

Don't me ask you twice, Jack.

- Yes, ma'am.

- What kind of flower is that?

- This is called a ,

it's known as the

rose of compassion.

It's a climbing tea rose,

kind of common but

I've always loved it.

My momma used to grow

these in America.

- Do you miss America?

- This is my home.

I came to Asia

quite a while back

and fell in love

with this place.

Just something I

believe in here.

- The bank with your

money was robbed.

They got away with about

200,000 US dollars.

Most of it was yours.

- Can I ask you a question?

Aren't you the mother

f***er that told me

that that's the safest

place to put my money?

- Yes, sir.

- You said it would be safe.

You know, I took your advice.

So if I were you, I

would get my money back.

- It shouldn't be difficult.

It was marked.

- I don't want to

hear any stories about

how easy it's going to be.

I want to hear that

we got it back.

I want results or I'll

take these f***ing

rose clippers and bury

them into somebody's

mother f***ing eye.

- Yes, sir.

- Yeah, yeah.

Seriously, next time

you can't come in

shooting the place

up like that, man.

No need, it's too much.

- You're thinking

about doing it again?

- Thinking about it.

- I'm up for another

run across the border.

- Yeah.

We were good right?

- F*** yeah.

- I guess all those video

games finally paid off.

- I'm all about the money, baby.

- Big time.

Especially after taking

so much sh*t for so long.

It's nice to have

some real cash.

- I'm going to buy myself

a new set of wheels.
