The Asian Connection

- 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 shit.

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 pussy.

Whatever, man.

Let's get you taped up.

No, no, no, after you, mate.

Turn around and bend over.

Get off of me, you fucker.

This is serious.

Just fucking 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?
