His cellmate and friend, Nick Cassidy (James Frain), is also getting out and while spending time with Rudy, he brags to him about the female pen pal he writes to, Ashley Mercer (Charlize Theron). One day, Nick gets stabbed to death during a prison riot and once Rudy was released, he assumes Nick's identity and meets Ashley for the first time. While their relationship heats up, Ashley's criminal brother Gabriel (Gary Sinise) and his group of thugs unknowingly drag Rudy down by bringing them to a casino where Nick used to work so they can steal some money. Things, however, are not what they appear to be.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

Chekhov's Gun: A literal one. Nick ends up getting a squirt gun that looks like a real pistol, which ends up getting filled with rum. During a struggle for freedom, Nick and Merlin each grab a gun from the floor, and Nick ends up with the water pistol. Too bad Merlin decides to light up a smoke before shooting Rudy - high proof liquor fired through a flame quickly causes the tables to be turned.

Exact Eavesdropping: While going around the hotel, Rudy stumbles onto the supposedly closed pool where he soon learns that Ashley and Gabriel aren't related at all but rather lovers and Ashley has been setting up "Nick" all this time.
