Lara steals the money back from Lucky because she's opportunistic and looking out for herself, not for their future together.

Sam offers Lucky 2.5 million to kill Lukka because she's desperate to escape his cruelty and abuse. Her husband is violent and oppressive, and she sees eliminating him as the only way to gain her freedom and safety. The counter-offer mirrors Lukka's own attempt to have Sam killed, creating a deadly triangle of betrayal.

Inspector Tiger is Lukka's brother, which is revealed late in the film. He uses his position as a police inspector to pursue Lucky and Sam, ostensibly for the crime of murder, but his real motivation is recovering the 2.5 million that actually belongs to him. The money was stolen from Tiger's own stash, making this a personal vendetta disguised as law enforcement.

Billa helps Lucky at the end because he recognizes Tiger as the villain who orchestrated the murder of his own gang members. When Billa notices Tiger's bracelet, he connects Tiger to the earlier killings. Billa's intervention is partly pragmatic, reclaiming what's his, but also reflects a twisted code of honor among criminals. He leaves the money as a final act of respect for Lucky's survival.

The final showdown begins when Lucky agrees to lead Billa to the hidden money in exchange for Sam's safety. Tiger has taken Sam hostage, and the trio converges on the railway platform. Tiger finds the money first, leading to a violent struggle. The train becomes the ultimate arbiter, if Lucky survives the oncoming train, he lives; if Tiger survives, he keeps the money and Billa loses Sam.
