- Woah, woah, woah.

Don't do anything crazy, Sam.

We've got to let

that money cool off

for a little while.

- A man's got to have

some fun you know.

- I'm just saying,

don't be stupid.

- Be careful who

you're calling stupid.

- Just looking out

for both of us, man.

All right, go have some fun.

Just don't go crazy.

All right?

I've got lunch.

I've got to split, see you, pal.

- See you later.

- Yeah.

Sam told me about this place.

It's not too bad, right?

- Oh my gosh, this

place is amazing.

- You deserve

nothing less, babe.

- Thank you.

- Thank you.

Cheers.

- Cheers.

- Oh wow.

Baby, some of the cash

we're going to have

to start putting in

your bank account.

No more than a few

thousand dollars at a time.

Ok?

- Well, honey, what about you?

I want you to have

some of this money too.

- Don't worry about me.

I took a little off

the top for expenses.

Now if you want to take me

out to dinner a few times,

or go on vacation,

I won't stop you.

- Jack?

We're not in any danger

because of this are we?

- No, babe.

Avalon, you're safe with me, ok?

Swear to God, I'll

do anything I have to

to make sure you're

taken care of.

I promise.

- I know that Jack

only wanted the best for me,

but there are always

consequences for our actions.

- Hello, Jack.

One of my two.

- Who the f*** are you?

- My name is Neeron Mortima.

I'm your new best friend.

- That's ok, pal.

I don't like the friends I have.

I don't need another one.

- Really?

That's funny.

Because the way I see it,

you could use one

right about now.

- What are you, a cop?

- There you go,

calling me names.

Hold on to that.

That was a lot of

money you took from the

bank in Cambodia.

Especially for

such a small town.

And all of that US currency.

- I don't know what

you're talking about.

- The butter.

Is it helping?

- Yeah, actually it

does help a little.

- I am getting really mad

now with this bullshit.

The money, a**hole.

I found it in the closet.

- How'd you find me?

- It's all marked and you were

so eager to exchange

it that it showed

up on my radar real quick.

Now...

This is how it's going to work.

I'm going to give you

the names of the banks

in Cambodia that you

are going to rob.

You're going to do

exactly as I tell you.

- Come again?

- The banks will be

guaranteed to have

just as much if not

more than what you

took from the first heist.

For my service, I get 50

percent of everything.

And unfortunately for you today,

you and your partner have

already split the money.

And while you were out,

I took my 50 percent.

That kind of wipes you out.

- I'm not doing this.

- Of course.

I knew you were

going to say that.

So here's the other option.

You played a dangerous

game and the rules

have changed.

- Wait, wait, ok wait.

- No, you know what?

I think I'll just talk to

your boyfriend and maybe

he will recognize the

generosity of my terms.

What?

I'm sorry, you want

to say something?

- I'll do it.

I'll do it.

- See Jack?

Best friends.

I have a little

something for you.

Keep it close.

I'll be calling.

But just in case.

Your girlfriend,

well I am sure that she's

going to be somebody

that I will be meeting

quite intimately

if you f*** with me.

Take care, buddy.

- Jack.

- Hey baby.

Can you untie me?

- Hold on, hold still.

What the f***, Jack.

What happened?

- Looks like I stole

from some bad guys, babe.

- Are you ok?

- Avalon, they took

all your money, doll.

They took all the money.

But it's ok, I've

got it worked out.

All right, we got a deal

and I'm going to get

your money back and I'm

going to get you more money.

- No, no, no, no, no.

Listen to me.

Ok?

It's only money, Jack.

I'm worried about you.

Are you ok?

- Yeah, I'm ok.

- Good.

- I'm ok.

Let's go to the bathroom.

I'm sorry, baby.

I'm so f***ing sorry.

- So you're pissed?

- I think it was

crazy and stupid.

But...

I also think it was

kind of romantic

that you robbed a

bank just for me.

- I'm glad you feel

that way, babe.

Because I'm going

to do it again.

- You sure about that, Jack?

- I don't have a real job.

If I don't do what

this guy says,

I'm going to be in deep...

- Shhh.

Money's not important.

Now, let's straighten

out the bedroom,

so that I can take care of you.

- Yeah?

- You ready?

- Yeah, we're ready.

- Listen carefully.

There's a bank in the

town of Sesopoung.

Next Wednesday,

exactly 2 o'clock.

Not before.

Not a minute later.

Do you understand?

- Yeah, 2 pm.

Highway six.

- On your way back

to the border,

there's an old petrol depot.

Just off of the highway.

You'll see a black BMW.

Go there immediately

after the job.

Jack.

I know exactly how much

money is in the bank.

So don't try and

be wise with me.

- Don't worry about it.

- Yeah?

- Yo, I got to talk

to greedy Greg.

Tell him it's Jack.

- Shut up, Ewy.

There's a courier

without a goddamn box.

- Thanks for seeing

me like this, greedy.

Sorry I haven't been around.

- Save that sh*t, man.

What you want?

- Well this may seem

kind of strange,

but over the last few

years making runs for you,

I've noticed that

well, the packages,

sometimes, sometimes

inside of them there's...

- Yo, nigga get to the point.

You see I'm doing

some sh*t right?

I don't have time

for this bullshit.

- I wanted to pick something up.

- Pick something up like what?

- I want to buy some heat.

- Heat?

- Guns, man.

- I know what mother

f***ing heat is.

What I don't know

is who sent your

1989 talking ass here for guns.

- The packages, greedy.

I've got to open them sometimes.

Look man, you know I've

never taken anything

off the top on a job.

I'm only here tonight

because some of your bags,

they got gun parts in them, man.

Rifle rounds, large magazines.

Machine gun sh*t.

Now I've been doing

some new work lately.

Some work that requires

more than a pistol

and I don't know

where to get that kind

of sh*t this side of the world.

I thought maybe you could help.

Look, man, maybe

this is a bad idea.

I can just leave.

- No, no, no you

ain't just leaving.

You ain't going nowhere.

You understand me?

What you going to do is you

going to lift that shirt.

I'm serious, man.

I ain't playing with you.

- I ain't wearing

a wire, greedy.

I just got no where else to go.

- All right, all right.

I'm not one to turn away

business, you understand?

Let's see what paper you've got.

- American.

- Now we talking.

So what kind of heat you

looking for this evening?

- AR 15.

Beretta M9.

AK, sub machine guns, shot guns,

anything heavy.

- All right.

Let's take him upstairs, fellas.

Bam.

- Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah, this will do.

Maybe this.

Definitely that.

- Ok.

Good choice.

You know, I like you, Jack.

I hope you're not getting

in over your head.

- Then the guard

went for his gun,

and I looked at him real mean.

He knew if he

touched his pistol,

I'd take him out just like that.

Nobody moved after that.
