With the law closing in, he leaves the country. In Bangkok, a partner in the scheme, Joseph Kaspar, tells him that Marvin, his mentor and the man behind the operation, is in Cambodia working a casino scheme. The roads are unsafe, so a guide leads Jimmy along back trails to Phnom Penh. Sok, a cyclo driver he hires there, takes him to a bar and hotel run by a Frenchman called Emile.
