FEMALE NEWSCASTER 1: [ON TV] Hurricane Gabriel continues to pound the eastern seaboard.
It has now been upgraded to a category 4 hurricane.
FEMALE NEWSCASTER 2: Forecasters are predicting
major damage and severe flooding
which we are already seeing in many parts of North Carolina.
MALE NEWSCASTER: Later, we go live to a tense scene some 300 miles north
where evacuees battle to stock up on food and water.
But first, the latest...
FEMALE NEWSCASTER 3: ...for desperately needed medical aid.
FEMALE NEWSCASTER 4: Here at Gibraltar Point,
we have reports of entire communities being leveled.
Gusts as strong as 150 miles per hour strong enough to level homes.
Scores of residents have heeded the call
and have been pouring into the shelter here at Gibraltar Point all night.
The big concern for them is, will they have a home to return to?
WOMAN: I don't know what to expect to find when I get back there,
but I'm sure we'll be talkingwith the insurance company.
Well, we do have insurance, thank God.
[ON TV] I expect it'll take time,
but you know, eventually, we'll have our house back.
We've got insurance, so...
NEWSCASTER: The Governor of North Carolina has declared
a state of emergency in several...
[ELEVATOR BELL DINGS]
Jimmy, we've got a real mess on our hands.
I've been tryingto contact Mr. Nagel, but...
AGENT BURDEN: Jimmy Cremmins?
Yeah, I am. Uh...
What's going on here?
I'm Agent Burden with the FBI. This is Agent Philips.
Can we have a word with you?Sure.
AGENT BURDEN:Who's supposed to be in chargeof business operations?
Mr. Nagel.Do you have any ideawhere we might find him?
He was based overseas.
He called nearly every day. I just never...
I never met him in person.
We'll need you to comedown to the office, uh,
answer a few more questions.
Let's go over it one more time.
I answered an ad...
...in The Tribune.
Capable Trust was lookingto fill some positions for...
...hmm, North American headquarters, and...
Well, they hired the right guy.
You're a hell of a salesman, Jimmy.
AGENT BURDEN: [ON TAPE] Were there any other offshore accounts
besides the ones in Zurich and the Caymans?
JIMMY: No. Not to my knowledge.
AGENT BURDEN: So they were the accounts you would draw from to pay claims.
Right.
It's gonna be tough to pay those claims, Jimmy.
Those accounts are empty.
It's not your fault, of course, but...
It is a shame.
All those innocent people lost their homes.
And you have no idea where we can find this Mr. Nagel?
Don't you want to help us, Jimmy?
What do you think?
Of course I do.
Mr. Nagel... The name keeps coming up.
He wasn't lying. I ran a check.
There was an ad in The Tribuneclassified section last September.
What do you think?
It's a sophisticatedPonzi scheme
like that outfit operatingout of Belgium last year.
Selling disaster insurancewith no intentionof paying any claims.
I bet the farm, this guyis connected somehow.
We just got tokeep on digging.
OVERSEAS OPERATOR: Collect call from United States from Jimmy.
KASPAR: I accept.
Jimmy, it's Kaspar.
Listen.
I need to talk to him now.
He's unreachable. He's not in Bangkok. He's not in town.
He's not in...
Well, where is he?
Cambodia. That's all I know.
But he's supposed to call in. Perhaps I can help.
Cambodia?
[DOOR CLOSES]
Well, we ran a check on you.
You came up clean.
We're sorry you hadto go through all this,but...
A lot of peoplegot swindled.
Even you were misled,so it seems.
This investigationis just now getting underway.
And we're gonnaneed your cooperationdown the road.
Listen, uh...
What's gonna happen to the people who lost their homes?
That'll be up tothe State Liquidation Bureau.
There'll be somekind of compensation,I imagine, but...
...nothing like thosepolicies promised.
And what about this Mr. Nagel?
Any luck with him?
I'm afraid,Mr. Nagel never existed.
But when we pinpointwho it is that wasfronting that operation...
And we do believeit's someone fromyour office.
We'll get Mr. Nagel.
It's just a matter of time.
Well, we would appreciate itif you'd stick around towntill this thing's resolved.
Anything I can do to help.
Good.
Oh, one more thing.
We'd like it if you'd turn over your passport for the time being.
Of course you're under no obligation.
My passport?
That's right.
You won't be needing it
unless you're planning on leaving the country.
No, of course not.
Well, good luckwith the investigation.

You didn't know?
They were our partners.

What's he doing in Cambodia?

You should go up to Chiang Mai.
It's fantastic up there, bucolic scenery,
cheap guesthouses...Kasper.
I'm not going up to Chiang Mai.
I'm here to see Marvin.
Well, he won't be expecting you.
Good.
It'll be a surprise.
He'll be glad to see me.

TEDDY: Hello?Teddy, it's me, Jimmy.
What's your plan?
I'm flying out firstthing in the morning.

TEDDY: We had some great times in Bangkok, Marvin and me.
But that was a lifetime ago, kid.
And as the lady says...
"I no longer am what I once was,
"nor ever shall be again."
I don't know what the hell Marvin's up to.
You just be careful.
Something's changed in him.
You can't keep stealing from Peter to pay Paul.
Sooner or later, Peter gets pissed off.
TEDDY: The main road is off-limits.
There was a French cyclist murdered there about a month ago.
You get waylaid...

[STUTTERS] What do you think of the layout?
You know, this is the old governor's residence.
Do you like it?
It could do witha fresh coat of paint.
The whole country needs a paint job.
But that's part of its charm.
Yeah.
I need to talk to Jimmy alone for a second.
You want to wait outside?
Oh, yeah. Sure.
That was some placeyou sent me to yesterday.

I had to get away.

Thanks.To tell you the truth,
I think in some ways you're better off here.
I mean, this place is wide open. A fortune to be made.
You are gonna want to be a part of it.
Yeah, well,I'm not so sure,not after the last one.
We really soldthose people a bad deal.
If I had to do it all over again,
if I could change things, believe me, I would.
But Capable Trust was a big score.
And you're gonna get your cut.

You needed to get away, and here you are.

Hey, listen. Why don't you give this thing to Kaspar?

His bodyguardand business associatewere murdered in Kep.

What about Marvin?
He's been abducted.
What do you mean "he's been abducted?"
What makes you so sure? Huh?
Because I was there.
I was lucky to get out alive.
Yeah, right. You know what I think?
I think the whole thing stinks!
Look, come on!
You sent that guy for me last night.

And now you're feeding me some bullshit story
about how Marvin's disappeared. He's been abducted!
What are youtalking about?
You know Marvinand I would donothing to harm you.
I mean,you're like a son to him.

The ground in Cambodia has many surprises.
You must be careful as you go.
Your friend, Marvin,has been foolish.
As you see, he's paid a price.
You must do what we saywithout wasting time.
We demand five millionUS dollars.
You have 24 hours to get the money.
What the fuckdid you say?
Five million dollars?
That's insane! [SCOFFS] Yeah.
You fucking black ass savage!
Hey! Hey!
Calm down!
Oh, forget it!Take it easy.
Who would be behind this?
The Russians?
Maybe someone more local.
Who? Sideth?
Well, he set upthe meeting in Kep,didn't he?
He and Marvinhad business togetherand I don't trust him.
It doesn't make any sense!
Sideth and Marvin were partners!
He's got nothing to gain from this!
He knows everyone.
You should talk to him. He can help you.
And now get this fucking thing out of my bar!
This is a considerable sum of money.
I am as concerned as you are.
Any ideawho would do this?
Oh, you knowoutside the capital
there is greater riskof kidnappings and murder.
Marvin understood this.
It could be bandits,ex-Khmer Rouge.
It's not uncommon.
Just the day beforea train was hijackeden route to the coast.
Two westerners were taken.
Backpackers with no money.
Five million dollars. It's... It's an absurd request.
SIDETH:This is typicalof these things.
Of course, they ask for more than they expect.
How much can you get?
I don't have access to that kind of money.
Well, 10... 15,000 dollars, maybe.
That's not enough.
They know he's rich.
These men are likewild dogs.
I can get some more.
Oh, he paid you, didn't he? [SIGHS]
Go ahead and set up that meeting.
Get the money andas soon as I havemore information,
I'll contact you.

You know we were coming.
I didn't expect you until next week.
But I wanted to talk to you.[CLICKS]

What is this?
It's a present for my fiancee in Bangkok.
So, where is myold partner, Marvin?I need to see him.
Well, he's not in town, but he'll be back in a couple of days.
KASPAR: He's fine. He's doing well.
But there's a problem.
What's wrong?
It's a problem with the deal.
I want all the money up front.
Up front?

Well, we were involved together in some business back in New York.
What kindof business?
Doesn't matter. It's... I'll tell you about it sometime.
But, uh...
He's in a jam right now and I can't leave him.
I can't go back to my room tonight.
You can stay with me.
[CHUCKLES]
Thanks.
That guy you weretalking about,
his name's Marvin,right?
Yeah.
I know who he is.
He lives up in the oldgovernor's residenceby the river.
He tried to pay offthe RestorationCommittee once.
He wanted to tear it downand build some mini-martor something.
He made out that he's thisgreat philanthropistoffering huge donations.
Dr. Collinstold him to stuff it?
Yeah. That's Marvin.
How come you gotinvolved with him?
I mean,why do you care about him?
It's different between us.
What do you mean?
It just is.
[CHUCKLES]It just is?
You really don'ttrust anybody, do you?
No.
Well, that's a shame.
Maybe it is.
But there's nothing I can do about it now, you know?
That's rubbish!
You can't go throughyour life like that!
Well, that's a tough one for me.
Look.
Marvin came into the picturewhen I was nine years old.
The truth is, he and my mother were together before I was born.
They kept that from me.
He's your father?Yeah.
It was never talked about.
Why?
It doesn't really matter,
but Marvin's the only person
who ever gave a rat's ass about me when I was a kid.
He also taught me to lie, steal, cheat, get over on people.
How am I supposed to trust anybody
when I don't even trust myself?
It takes time.

Do you recognizethe other two?
Yeah.
Yeah. I met them at the Belleville...
...the other day.
The reason Marvin is alive is because he is a businessman.
He has money.
The other twoare useless to them.
Were you able to get any of the ransom?
Yes.
SIDETH:How much?
I got enough.
SIDETH:We can only hopeit will be enough.
Enough.
They have instructedthat he is to bring the moneyto a neutral location.
Where?
Koh Slay,on the coast near Kep.
Where's the money now?
With me.
Bring it here.We mustn't waste time.
No, not on your fucking life!
The money doesn't leave my side.
It stays with me.
Do not underestimate these people.
They do not negotiate.
Yeah, well, neither do I!
They get the...
...money up front. Half of it.
And then after they deliver Marvin, they get the rest.
You understand? That's the deal!
SIDETH:As you wish.
But we must move quickly.
I don't trust any of these snake-eaters.
Sideth sets up a meeting and Marvin disappears. Do the math yourself.
Just meet meat the Belleville

Good morning, gentlemen.
You guys have breakfast? Mmm. Good.
You follow me. I can only take you so far
because if they see me or my men, the deal could collapse.
It could be bad for Marvin.
So, once we get to the outskirts of Koh Slay,
you have to continue on your own.
Shall we? Follow me.
I'm really worriedabout Marvin.
You don't trust me.
It's Sideth you should be worried about.
You take his instructionswithout a moment's reflection.
You got any, uh, better ideas?
Huh?
I didn't think so.
Just do me a favor and keep your fucking mouth shut.
Where's the restof the money?
I got it.
You should leave it here.It's safer.[SCOFFS]
Thanks for your concern, but it's taken care of.
JIMMY: What's next?
You keep goingdown this road until
you come to a small bridge.
Two kilometers after the bridge, you'll find a Bo tree.
Bo tree is the tree with a big trunk
with leaves shaped like a heart.
Leave the money up in the tree
and we'll be here waiting for you when you return.
Who's that?
