if you don't mind me asking, what is the reason you are in this place?
your offense? why are you here?
intriguing. i see. would you like to know my crime?
no?
me, too. too much blah, blah, blah, blah is no good. but we are roommates, okay? and we must talk to each other. i am arrested for stealing cars. for the grand theft auto. okay? so, now it is your turn. now you will tell me, okay? you will tell me why you are here?
oh, come on, george. if we are to be friends, we must trust each other.
ah, yes. the murder.
nothing. just a little project.
never mind. not for you to worry.
you have your intrigues. i have mine. this is a happy day for me, george. nine months from today, i will be in medellin sipping champagne. in nine months, i am free. how much time do you have?
twenty-six months? for murder? i must be your lawyer.
only two ways i know to leave here early. one is to escape.
george? hey, george? i listen to what you say to the class today about the smuggling. you are a magico, ah?
i never believed you were a murderer. i knew. i knew you are a magico. i have seen it in you. it's in your spirit.
you like to make the boundaries disappear. it's not only the money, is it, george? the adventure is part of the victory. it's the thrill, ah?
in my country, i am a magico. a man with a dream. a man on the rise. to take nothing and make it something, okay? i have failed my dream, but i will accomplish. that is why i am in your country. yes, i lose my freedom. but they do not take my dream. do you have a dream, george?
yes, you have a dream. and maybe you accomplish your dream. but yet you failed. why?
no, my brother.
you failed because you had the wrong dream.
george? what do you know about cocaine?
no, no. that is where you are wrong. for us, it is cheap. in medellin, we buy for six-thousand dollars a kilo. in miami, we sell for sixty.
and that's wholesale. cut it a few times and retail, you're looking at two, three-hundred thousand.
yes. and a kilo of coca is smaller than a kilo of your precious marijuana. everything is the same, george, except instead of thousands, you are making millions.
now do you see what i am saying?
don't worry. we will talk of everything. we have the time. you arrive here with a bachelor of marijuana, but you will leave with a doctorate of cocaine.
what type of planes do you have?
how many kilos can we fit in these planes?
fifteen hundred. we'll have to stop somewhere to refuel.
great. i love the bahamas.
allo?
george, hallo! today is the day, ah? are you out?
congratulations, brother. i've been waiting for you.
perfect, george. perfect. everything is fine down here. everything is all set up.
slow down, george. slow down.
you need to come down here, everybody meets everybody. ho ho ho. ha ha ha. we do one for good faith and then we talk about airplanes.
but you must. it's the only way.
george, are we gonna do this or not?
yes. look around you. the sun. the water. the women. it's better than danbury, no? come on. i have some friends i would like you to meet.
fifteen kilos. seven and a half in each suitcase. you receive a hundred thousand dollars upon delivery.
samsonites. red. no tags.
gentlemen, please. there is no need to be impolite. cesar, this will be fine. you have my word. george, cesar is just being thorough. that's all.
three-hundred kilos it is, then.
has everyone met inez? this is george. i've told you about him. and this is friend, jack stevens.
try to be more respectful, darling. my apologies. but she is mistrustful of americans. shall we proceed? let's hear it again, mr. stevens.
please, continue.
you will watch what you say. especially around george. he is my brother and he speaks as good spanish as you.
okay. that's enough.
george. george, come in here.
what's the matter, george?
a million dollars for our first run is not bad, george.
i know.
that's my george, always thinking.
this is only part of the business, george. a very small part. don't worry, there is so much more to do. which reminds me, i need a favor from you. i must go to colombia.
i need you to go to miami.
george.
bad news, george. i'm in colombia.
it's a little hard to get away right now. i'm afraid you're on your own.
jesus christ, george, i don't see you in two years, and you show up at my door with a hundred and ten pounds of cocaine?
thirty-six hours. i can't believe it. everything is gone in thirty-six hours.
touche.
george, good to see you, my brother.
pablo used his influence. now, george, watch what you say. everybody hears everything. a lot of things get said and done that, well, let's just say this isn't america. life is cheap here, you know? no offense, but you know what i'm saying?
right. now who is the person in california? the connection?
who? i need to know. ah, never mind. we'll talk about it later.
there must be some kind of mistake.
it's alright, george. you go.
padrino.
it's two-point-five, george. i am sure.
we're half a million off.
weight it. if it's sixty pounds, it's three. if it's fifty, it's two-point five.
try the back bedroom.
try the closet.
george, we've got sixty-one million dollars. it's either here or someplace else. we've got to put it somewhere. unless you want to launder it.
then relax. it's a federal bank. guaranteed by the government. and senor noriega has very lenient banking principles. no questions. no problems. all the pesados keep their money here. even el padrino. what do you worry? everyone knows we are with escobar. who is going to fuck with us?
i'm married, george. me. i can't believe it. can you believe i'm married, george?
i love you, my brother, do you know that?
great, baby, great!
ah, george's mystery man.
you don't meet him. george keeps this a secret. he's here meeting everyone, goes to colombia and meets pablo, but still keeps his secrets. even from his brother.
three years. how long have we been in business? three years. does she get to meet your connection? was she good enough?
i'm very angry with you, george. very angry. you don't take me to california, but you take your bitch wife? a woman? i understand you love her, but it was you and me who started this. you and me.
what do i do with it? nothing. it's for peace of mind. it's for the principle.
i'm driving you crazy? no. you're driving me crazy. we had a dream. what happened to our dream?
you embarrassed me, george. you make me look very bad.
everything is not alright. i bring you in, and you slap my fucking face!
you fucked me in front of my whole family!
sientese ye no se meta en lo que no le importa.
que es lo que quieren de me, hijueputas campesinos?
es un ford blanco junto a una pick-up.
what?
where's diego?
george, i am happy to see you. how are you, my brother?
of course we are brothers. why do you say that? you hurt me, george.
i did not.
no, i never. i would not do that, george. never.
maybe you are right. i did betray you a little bit.
oh, boo hoo, boo hoo. so sad, george. i stole your california connection. so what? who introduced you to pablo escobar? me. who introduced you to your fucking colombian wife? me. who protected you when my friend cesar roza wanted to slice your fucking throat, huh? who mad you millions and millions of dollars? me. and what do i get in return? this? accusations? i have always given you everything, george, but that is over now. this is my operation. my dream. so go home, george. go back to your stupid little life. you can sell half grams to your fucking relatives for all i care. because you are out!
george, don't be so emotional. this is business. besides, i can't kill you, you are my brother.
