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.

- What is it?

- Nicotine gum.

- What's it do?

Stops the craving. Don't flash it around, don't

spend it in big chunks, that's how you get bonged, okay?

Hey! How about that beer now?

- Now? Twist my arm?

- Which one?

This one. Thank you.

I was a user, that's how we met.

Then I help him out cutting the sh*t, packing it.

We got busted with 3 kilos.

- Cup of ginger?

- Thank you.

At least I got cleaned-up in here.

You got a cigarette?

- Yeah, you remind me of someone.

- Yes.

If you tell him,

I'll kick your ass.

- Again?

- Worse!

Where is he?

Is he around?

- I think he went for a beer.

- What?

Oh, you bum!

- So, are...you married?

- Easy, Mamacita, you're moving a little fast.

It's a very sensitive subject for me, I ...

I was.

She ran-off with a former business

associate of mine, one Reginald T. Barnes.

We were doing a job,

I got away, he got caught.

He ratted me out for immunity,

and I did seven years in the Slammer.

She ended-up shackin'-up with him.

Nice, huh?

You know, I still have recurring dreams about it.

Yeah...there's a knock on the door,

Reginald's opens it

he's wearin' underpants and eating

a bowl of corn flakes, weird, huh?

Yeah, not a pretty sight, there's milk

spillin' down his chin and sh*t.

and my wife's makin' coffee over behind him.

And these two goons at the door

whip-out these massive canons and

guh-guh, guh-guh, guh they start

fillin' begin his chest full of holes,

He hits the floor, dead as a mackerel, she drops

the coffee and starts screamin' her ass off.

And then?

Then I wake up.

- The resentment will kill us all.

- But them first!

Well, here's to resentment.

- I know you know about the liver.

- I know.

- How rare can blood be?

- Very.

It's called "Bambi Blood",

one in half a million.

- And Javi found a match.

- Your husband.

And my son.

I never know when they'll come for him.

Yeah, well, we're not gonna let that happen.

Are we?

Caracas ...

I saved your brother's life.

I saved your life, too,

I protected the Kid and the liver.

Terminated two troublesome employees.

Don't tell me you weren't thinking

about killing him already.

I saved you the embarrassment of

having family blood on your hands.

And if he was willing to kill your brother,

he was comin' to kill you next,

in about a minute and a half, to be precise..

So, I saved your f***in' life twice.

F***!

F***!

F***!

Okay, okay, give me a minute,

I gotta change my shorts.

Gotta wait!

Which one?

Yep!

Hey there!

- Oh, hey, Butter Balls.

- Yeah, "Butter Balls".

Just checkin'-in, wanted to see how ya were doin'.

Fine.

Oh, yeah...

Well, you know, I see you're still

hangin' in there, so...

So...I know there's money, I can

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…
