Bittersweet Ending: Ray is arrested for smuggling, and Lila is expelled from her tribe for five years as a scapegoat. On the other hand, Lila escapes with the money and agrees to watch over Ray's kids for the four months that she's in prison, and completes the purchase of the double-wide on Ray's behalf. She also manages to take back her infant son.

Oh, Crap!: When carrying a Pakistani couple across the river, Ray tosses their luggage, concerned that there might be explosive materials in there. It actually had the couple's infant son. Cue this reaction, as Ray and Lila scramble back to recover the luggage.
