Get The Gringo Page #7

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.

still help you out, all I want is a

piece of the pie.

Talkative as ever,

but that's okay.

Say, it was nice knowin' ya.

Sorry, if we got off on the wrong foot.

Good luck, then, you're gonna need it.

Butter Balls was puttin' the squeeze on me,

sooner than I thought.

It was time to play a card I'd been holding back.

Tryin' to get my cash a little closer.

Good day.

What do you want?

I have some information for you

that you might find valuable.

Two cops, Vazquez and Romero,

badge number 9-0-3-4-8-9...

- We know our cops.

- Oh! You know them?

Well! In that case, you'll

find this really interesting.

They took a sizeable amount of money from

me when they brought me here and I figure

I'll never see the money again and

I just wonder if they gave you your cut.

- What?

- What's in it for you?

Nothin' now, probably since I told you,

but I...look, I think a finder's fee would be fair.

- How much?

- Oh, I don't need much, 10% maybe...okay, 8.

- How much money?

- Oh...

You know, I only stole it,

I didn't have time to count it...

but, I...ballpark? 10 million,

maybe a little more.

You know what will happen

if you are pushing my leg?

Yeah, I know, I know.

I wouldn't push your leg.

See you later.

The Boss rejects it...one million seven.

- Where the f***'s the rest?

- I...I swear to God, that's all there was.

- That's bullshit.

- No bullshit! It's true.

Hello, can you see me?

Uh...yeah, Boss, I can.

Okay, good, is it all there?

No, there's only one point seven

and a coupla new cars out front.

- Where's the rest?

- It's all there...except for what we spent.

- The cars, some hookers...

- We bought them shoes and tacos, that's all.

- Friends, where is the rest of my money?

- That's all there was.

Talk to the gringo that stole it.

- Cut the toe off.

- But...we already did that, Boss, two of 'em.

- Cut another off.

- No, please. I swear.

That's all there was.

Mr. Vasquez, listen very carefully.

You see, I'm missing four million dollars,

you're missing three toes, so far.

I'll give you a moment to do the arithmetic,

then it's up to you if you wanna talk.

- What did he say?

- He said what does "ritmaticks" mean.

Ah, f*** it! Just kill him.

No! Hey! Hey! No! No! No! Hey!

- I swear! No! Please!

- There were only two!

- Last chance, Vasquez.

- No! Don't! Don't! No!

- I swear,

- Are you sure?

I Swear!

Who the f*** are you?

Hey! That's my money!

Javi.

Javi, you motherf***er,

I'm gonna f***in' kill ya!

Ah, Jesus!

I'm gonna kill ya, Javi,

with my own f***in' hands.

- You Buffet?

- You got it.

If you're hungry, try the

fish tacos, it's their specialty.

There's something comin' down to me and I don't

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…
