Get The Gringo Page #5

Synopsis: Heading toward the Mexican border, a getaway driver disguised as a clown and his wounded accomplice try to escape the American Police with a loot of over $2 million hidden in the trunk of the car. In a desperate attempt to break through the thick border fence, the driver crashes the car, the accomplice dies and he inevitably gets apprehended by Mexican Police officers Romero and Vasquez who want the money just for themselves. As the only American inmate in the infamous "El Pueblito" Mexican prison, which resembles more of a small village of convicts rather than a usual prison, the driver quickly gets the nickname "The Gringo" and finds out first hand how rough it is to be a stranger in the perilous world of Javi, the ruthless crime lord who runs the prison. Sooner or later, the Gringo will form an alliance with a 10-year-old kid whose peculiar immunity in this mad place will efficiently keep him alive, only to realise that in this pit, everyone knows about the $2 million.

He does worry too much.

Today he looks happy.

He talks about you,

told me about your dad,

and how you talked him out off something stupid.

- That's not easy.

- No, he's smart, he listens.

- He doesn't talk to many people.

- No.

Want a beer?

Okay.

Oh! I have a visitor.

I'm sorry. I'll take you up on

that beer later. Thank you.

Well, howdy, Buckaroos!

You all! You look sharp!

Thank you for your financial

contribution to our families.

Don't mention it.

We took care of Frosty, by the way.

- He did want a cremation, didn't he?

- Oh, I didn't know him that well.

We have a serious problem.

Is this something I can help you with?

Well, the thing is, two of the cops who were

with us when we first met, turn up dead.

Cops die all the time, it's part of the trade.

What is troubling is the fact, they were tortured.

Badly! So, we wanted to ask you

where you got the money.

We are just concerned that

someone might be looking for you.

- And of they are, we need to know who it is.

- I see.

Two million bucks is a lot of money.

Two million dollars is a

lot of money, you're right.

Why, it says here they were

found in a brand new Mercedes.

Which model was it?

Listen! Things can get better

or worse for you in here.

Well, let me guess, you got friends in here, too.

Well, I'm sure Javi's powers

stretches outside these walls.

I mean, he knows about the

money you stole from me, huh?

- I mean, you gave him his cut, right?

- Listen, you f***ing Gringo.

You may think you have this BS figured out,

but you don't know sh*t!

- Just tell us where you got the money.

- I'll tell you what...

Whoever tortured those cops,

surely knows you're in here.

If you tell us, we could help.

Because otherwise, it's just a matter

of time before they come get you.

I know. You're right! And...and here's the thing,

and I'm sure the two of you will agree with me...

they'll be coming to get you two first,

so here's my advice,

Stop spending my f***in' money, put it someplace

safe and then go and hide yourselves, okay?

Because when they find you, they will kill you,

and then I'll never get my damn money.

- Suit yourself! And watch your back in here!

- Yeah! Take it easy out there.

You're have no idea who we are.

You're Vasquez, badge No. 9-0-3-4-8-9,

and you're Romero, badge No. 1...Ah! F*** it!

- Ya ever been fishing?

- Never been outta the Joint.

No? Well, you got a treat

in store with a scheme like this.

There he is.

You know what to do,

divide and conquer.

Sorry.

Bang, bang.

- Heart shot.

- Yeah, well, you spot, I'll shoot, come here.

We did better than I thought.

Here, here's your cut.

- Here, I got these for you, too.

Mel Gibson

Mel Colmcille Gerard Gibson (born January 3, 1956) is an American actor and filmmaker. He is best known for his action hero roles, namely his breakout role as Max Rockatansky in the first three films in the Mad Max post-apocalyptic action series, and as Martin Riggs in the Lethal Weapon buddy cop film series. Gibson was born in Peekskill, New York. He moved with his parents to Sydney, Australia, when he was 12 years old, and studied acting at the National Institute of Dramatic Art. During the 1980s, he founded Icon Entertainment, a production company which independent film director Atom Egoyan has called "an alternative to the studio system". Director Peter Weir cast him as one of the leads in the critically acclaimed World War I drama Gallipoli (1981), which earned Gibson a Best Actor Award from the Australian Film Institute, as well as a reputation as a serious, versatile actor. Gibson produced, directed, and starred in the epic historical drama film Braveheart (1995), for which he won the Golden Globe Award and Academy Award for Best Director, along with the Academy Award for Best Picture. He later directed and produced the financially successful, and controversial, biblical drama film The Passion of the Christ (2004). He received further critical notice for his directorial work of the action-adventure film Apocalypto (2006), which is set in Mesoamerica during the early 16th century. After several legal issues and controversial statements leaked to the public, Gibson held a 10-year hiatus from directing, before returning with the critically acclaimed Hacksaw Ridge (2016), which won two Academy Awards and was nominated for another four, including Best Picture and Best Director for Gibson, his second nomination in the category. more…
