Across the Line: The Exodus of Charlie Wright Page #3

F***ing amateurs!

Aaargh!

Go! Go!

Come on, Damon, let's

get out of here.

(Miller) Abort! Abort!

(Baines) Go, go, go, go!

Move!

Come on!

Let's go!

Come on, let's go!

The man is f***ing dead already. Move

now! Come on!

Char--

He's a Russian.

A Russian?

Big in the '80s. Worth

about $1 billion now.

Word is Charlie Wright took

him for about $100 million.

Jesus.

So, he's not gonna stop.

It's okay.

Gabriel, some people say

that, uh, a man in your

position could actually

benefit from my bad fortune.

Who would say that? I mean, that's

ridiculous.

Maybe, but with me gone, it'd

give you a chance to start

clean. No more debts,

no more baggage.

Just like when Father died.

My father got sh*t.

Yeah, but his dying gave

me a chance to start clean.

You take this family and

move on from his mistakes.

You understand?

I f***ed up.

But you didn't f*** up.

Listen to me.

I f***ed up.

It's over for me.

No. We have people everywhere. I'll find

them.

I know you will.

I'm gonna get him back.

I'm gonna go for a walk.

(Michaels) What, you think

I do, mate? One of my guys.

(Damon) Bullshit.

(Charlie) Mary.

Charlie.

Oh...

a drink?

Uh, no, I don't drink...

anymore. Remember?

Ah, si.

Con permiso.

It's not usually this messy.

Is this a...

you been here a while?

Si.

Yeah.

A long time.

Oh, it's nice.

There's something about you.

What, you running

away from something?

Um...

well, it's a...

it's a little bit,

uh, complicated.

What happened?

A lot of things, but, uh,

it's-- it's all over now.

You don't need to...

Would you like to take a shower?

Oh, my God.

That would be a...

You need help.

Yeah, that would be fantastic.

This way. Um, uh, please.

Are you sure this is

where you marked him from?

Yeah.

He was right there.

It's dark out here.

Yeah, but...

Yeah, but you got

the streetlight.

Come on.

Here's some clothes.

Thank you.

They-- they are clean.

Oh, thank-- thank you.

Look, I swear to you,

boss. It was him.

I want you to listen

to me carefully.

Now, I know you respect

me as a human being.

So, if I ever hear any...

No.

I wouldn't do that.

I wouldn't throw you under

the bus. I don't sell out.

Jimmy, when this comes up, and

it will come up no matter who

spins it, you put

the blame on me.

Don't you carry this.

You got it?

You're gonna land on your feet.

Just, Andy...

want to grab another drink?

I'm gonna cross the border

in San Diego tonight,

heading back up to

L.A. in the morning.

Hey.

You be careful down here.

Yeah.

So, would you think

this one looks better?

Bueno?

Uh.

I really should go.

What?

I want you to stay.

I'm afraid if I tell

you, you won't stay.

Tell me what?

It's been such a long time.

It's my face.

It's the wrinkles.

Men hate the wrinkles.

Wait.

I try everything.

They won't go away.

Shh. Shh shh. No. Don't--

you don't have any wrinkles.

I don't care about wrinkles.

Oh, and then I cry.

It is so bad to cry.

You found her?

Si.

Where she works.

Is she okay?

I don't know.

Aren't you going to leave?

It's been such a long time.

I'm.. I don't.. I don't want...

(Mary) F***.

No, I don't have to leave.

Then...

you stay?

Yeah, I'll stay.

The banker got away.

We lost a man.

American?

Yes.

You have something in mind?

Yes.

Chances are the banker will be

hard to hide, even if we got

him, and the Feds...

If they find out we have him,

it could open up some

of our old problems.

And if they get him...

then it's sure he'll talk.

Either way, we're

back on the map.

We may be too old to be going

through all of this again.

So, you suggest we let him go?

No.

Then?

We make the problem go away...

permanently.

Do it clean.

No fancy stuff.

Let Damon know.

Come on, it's late.

Come to bed.

I need to

know what's going on.

This isn't just about you.

This is about me, too.

Come here. Come to bed.

Let me read to you.

We don't have to stay here.

We could just go. It

doesn't matter where.

We just go. It doesn't matter. None of

this matters anymore!

Mari, it matters.

I wish it didn't matter,

but it matters. Come on.

Great Expectations.

My father's family name being

Pirrip and my Christian name

Philip, my infant

tongue could make...

She's yours, isn't she?

The girl?

Veronica's girl.

Yes.

You know all this time?

Yes.

Veronica would talk about you.

And then one day she stopped.

You're a good man.

Your heart is good.

She always believed that.

I am not a good man.

There is no good in me.

Oh...

The pain I've caused...

the lives I've destroyed...

If you only knew.

All that I had has

come to nothing.

It's not so bad.

Senor.

Desculpe.

Is-- is that, uh, Isabelle?

Is her name Isabelle?

(Waitress) Gracias.

You're looking for Isabelle?

Yes.

She's gone.

She's gone?

About two weeks ago.

Well, do you know

where she went?

She went to the U.S.

selling coke.

She went illegally. Mm.

Yes.

Senor.

Are you okay?

You want to order something?

Uh... no.

What is she like?

She's pretty.

Very nice.

Was she a...

happy person?

Very happy.

Thank you.

Thank you. That's...

Sure. Okay.

Gracias.

(phone rings)

Yeah.

It's Charlie.

Charlie Wright.

I want to come home.

Okay.

But you're gonna

have to come get me.

I'm not gonna make

it out of here alone.

Where do I find you?

Okay, meet me at the

Tijuanas Market,

the southwest corner at 3:00.

Listen, I need two favors.

Meet me in the parking lot

right across the border.

You know the one,

the left there, yeah.

I need you to bring me a piece. And

second favor...

don't ask me why.

Gabriel.

You find him.

I know you said not to

ask why, but I'm asking.

You were right.

(panic)

F.B.I.!

Put it down.

Drop it.

Vamos.

Vamos.

Andale.

It's over.

Mexico City's headed this way. They're

close.

I know.

We've gotta get you on a plane.

Gabriel...

We have to move the women.

Listen to me. Gabby.

Jorge, they're on

their way here.

I know. I called them.

You what?

I called them.

They're coming for me.

I made a deal.

They accepted.

What kind of deal?

I signed away all our assets.

It's not enough.

You know that.

The balance is me.

But...

what does that mean?

What'd you do?

You're gonna be able to keep

the house and some things, but

you're gonna have to start over.

No. No, there's no deal.

No, we'll fight 'em.

Listen.

Listen to me.

It's done.

You-you've always

taken care of me...

but now it's time to

take care of this family.

Pop is so proud

of you right now.

I am so proud of you right now.

Is there a bathroom break?

Talked to Dr. Brooks yesterday.

Dr. Brooks?

You know who that is.

What'd he tell you?

Six months with treatment.

Maybe three without.

Maybe less.

So now you know.

With any luck, I'll make

my first court appearance.

Why are you doing this?

I don't know.

(Charlie) My dear Isabelle...

When a man finds himself

at the end of his days...

He has to take an

account of his life.

He has to be able to

live with what he's done.
