El Mariachi Page #2

The Tall Men walk steady and alert, ready to kill. They enter

Azul's block and scope out the cells.

The Bodyguard, seeing the tall men, retrieves his shotgun from

under his mattress and grabs his machete from under the sink. He

stands ready to fight.

The Tall Men move slowly towards the big cell, somewhat cautious.

They see the Bodyguard a second too late, for he sticks the

shotgun between the bars, and shoots one of them before they can

react. The shot one stumbles back into his buddy's arms. Azul's

Bodyguard, amused by all this, opens his cell door effortlessly,

and walks out as if to greet them. The Tall Men hear the sound of

the other cells opening, so they turn around. The other prisoners

on the block begin exiting their cells, carrying guns and Molotov

cocktails. The Tall Man drops his gun. Finally, Azul exits his

cell carrying his phone. The Bodyguard forces the Tall Men into

an empty cell, closing and locking the door.

Azul presses the #-button on his phone. Moco's phone number is

automatically redialed.

Moco answers.

AZUL:

(into phone)

I'm still here, Moco. And so are your little friends. But not for

long. They have something they want to scream to you. Listen

close, because you're going to repeat it to me when I come to

visit you.

INT. TALL MEN IN CELL - DAY

The cellmates throw their Molotov cocktails into the cell. Moco

hears the men screaming as they burn to death. Azul is holding

the phone at arm's length into the cell.

INT. JAIL LOBBY - DAY

The Guards exchange glances when they hear the screaming, they

smile and shrug, then go back to what they were doing. As Azul

and his Bodyguards exit the block, the Guard with the magazine

stands up as if to stop them, but Azul tosses him a wad of money

and the guard sits back down to count it.

EXT. JAIL - DAY

A blue truck races towards the jail.

Azul exits the jail carrying a shotgun. His Bodyguards get inside

the Tall Men's truck and start it. Azul waits patiently for his

blue truck.

As the blue truck pulls up, two little rat-like VATOS exit the

blue truck, one handing Azul a guitar case. Azul tosses it onto

the hood. The Bodyguards wave as they drive away. Azul waves

back. He opens the case, revealing an arsenal of weaponry. Azul

notices one piece is missing. One Rat quickly pulls the missing

weapon from his jacket and replaces it in the case. Azul is

unamused. He grabs his MAC-10 machine gun from the guitar case

and aims it at the thieving Rat's head.

Suddenly, the Guard bolts out the jail waving the wad of money,

as if complaining.

Azul turns his MAC-10 onto the Guard instead. A few blasts later

Azul and his rats pack up and go as the Guard twitches helplessly

on the ground, still clutching the money in his bloody hand.
