Contraband Page #4

Synopsis: Chris Faraday once smuggled illegal items or contraband into the country on freighters. He left that life behind, got married, has a family and went legit. But when his brother-in-law got involved with Briggs, a drug dealer and when he blew a deal, Briggs demands restitution which he can't deliver. So Chris offers to find a way to pay Briggs but then he threatens Chris' family if he doesn't deliver. So he gets on a freighter destined for Panama and he sets out to bring back some counterfeit currency. Briggs "goes to see" Chris' family. When Chris learns of this he asks his friend Sebastian to take care of them which he does. He tells Chris that it would be better to bring drugs instead of the cash.

(LAUGHING) You were

grinning like you just

won the f***ing lottery.

And you said,

"You don't have to work

on that boat no more."

I always think about that.

The proudest day of my life

was when you turned legit,

and you started your own

business, and you got

out of the life.

I know you got to do

what you got to do.

I got it.

Family is family.

I'll get you on the boat.

But you get in,

you got to get back out.

CHRIS:
Me and Andy are

shipping out to Panama

with the Borden.

SEBASTIAN:

The old man's boat?

Yeah, he got us on.

What about Captain Camp?

I know. I know.

Don't worry about it.

What's this?

What's what?

Every time I come here,

you got new sh*t.

I'm getting it together,

I'm getting the place ready.

It's a bad-ass coffee table.

That is not for shoes.

I must be out of touch.

I don't know

what's bad-ass anymore

because this looks

cheap-ass.

You're turning

into The Birdcage.

(LAUGHING)

I mean...

So who do we know

in Panama?

Are you going to

go see Ruben?

Dude, no drugs.

What else has that

kind of profit margin?

Edwin is in Panama.

Currency?

We have to bring back

a sh*t-ton to make it

worth our while.

All right, so I'll

bring back a sh*t-ton.

Okay, 15 million on

four stacks this big.

It's like the size

of a Mini Cooper.

Where are you

going to hide it?

That's my problem.

I need the Borden's

crew manifest.

Oh, God. You got to be

kidding me.

Oh, I like Tarik Mortin.

He's a horrible chef,

but he's great on runs.

Le Cloud's a f***ing drunk.

Newlywed?

He's not great on runs,

but we've known him

a long time.

Olaf's solid,

we need somebody

in the engine room.

Well, it's no A-Team,

but it's the best we can do.

Come on, work your magic.

Make the call,

get me a TWIC card.

Hi, sweet pea.

I need you to

push through a TWIC card

for Chris Farraday.

I got your message.

It only took you

three years to call me?

Are you back in business?

No, no, no, no, no.

I need something, though.

Remember our last run?

The funny money?

I need that exact

same sh*t by next week,

but a lot more.

Four times as much.

And we need a van big enough

to transport it, okay?

Okay. I'll be here.

Come on, Mikey!

What's funny money?

Huh? Nothing.

That's just

work stuff for Dad.

Have you ever been

convicted of espionage?

Just answer yes or no,

we'll get through this

really quickly.

No.

Sedition, or conspiracy

to commit espionage,

sedition, treason?

Together?

I received your

shipping application, Mr...

Lakowski.

Mr. Lakowski.

Seor Lakowski,

I'm getting you

a 20-foot standard dry.

Would you like us to load it?

No, I've got somebody

to take care of that.

I just need the container.
