“ He ’s wounded and half delirious . And then it goes back to 1988 and they ’re very different people . They ’re not the people they are in the movie . It ’s the events of ’ 88 that made them into the people they are in the film . So the De Niro character , Neil McCauley , is cryptical into a relationship with a cleaning lady , he has a step girl . He has all these attachments . And then what find in 2000 takes us into a whole different world , trans - internal organized crime and Ciudad del Este , which is a free craft zona in South American and Southeast Asia .
