I'm just asking artist to artist, like...

What's your technique?

Well, Leo, I really don't like to talk

about stuff like that.

It kind of kills the magic.

Wow,

I wasn't meaning locker room B.S.

I was trying to bond, brother to brother.

Apparently, never mind.

All right, well...

- You wanna know what the thing is?

- Yeah.

The way I get my joy, my satisfaction...

...is how intense and complete

the woman's joy is.

If the woman seems very giving...

...it's because I'm acutely attuned

into her every need.

But in reality...

...it's selfishly motivated.

I guess that could work.

Leo, stay here with Theresa.

Me and the kid are gonna look around.

Wait. Why do I have to stay here?

- She'll protect you.

- Oh, come on.

- I'm the one that speaks Spanish.

- Not gonna talk to them, just look around.

Hey, go, Leo, I could stay with Theresa.

- I think we all know where that's going.

- Don't be an idiot, Leo.

Listen to the kid.

Starting to sound like family.

We could all go.

No. I'm gonna go alone.

Less of a change I can get spotted.

No offense, Sam,

but you're pretty easy to spot.

I don't want you getting shot.

And that neon cowboy hat on your fat head

isn't helping either.

- What, you're worried about me, Leo?

- No.

I just don't the shot

giving away our position.

Well, if you'll excuse me.

I think this might be a good time for me

to freshen up.

Be careful

because human feces is an aphrodisiac...

...for the great brown Mexican grizzly.

Thanks for the tip.

He doesn't have the arrogance

of most men I've known.

Well...

...he can be pretty selfish.

You know, he's just a kid, remember?

Your brother, Sam?

He seems hardened.

Yeah.

Yeah. It's because he is.

Hard-nosed, hardheaded...

...hard to get along with.

But you, you are none of those things?

Hardened, selfish? Nothing like that?

No. No, it's because I'm a giver.

Give, give, give, always give,

never take.

You seem very insecure.

What?

Where did you pick that up, huh?

Some psych class at the local Jaycee

or is that all Dr. Phil?

Who is Dr. Phil?

You need a satellite

to get Dr. Phil out here.

No, no, no. Hey, it's okay.

Look, it's okay, all right? Just relax.

- Your friends, where they at?

- Yeah?

What friends?

The ones riding the other horses.

I'm a cowboy.

Those are my horses.

I ride one son of a b*tch to death

and then I got a backup.

Tell me or Bernardo

is going to have to cut your girlfriend.

No, no, no. I'm taking her to Verdugo.

If you hurt her, he'll kill all of us.

Verdugo is the one that sent us.

Last chance.

I mean, if I kill her,

she can't have my kids.

No, no, no, okay.

Okay.

I gave it my best shot.

Wait, I'll be honest now, okay?

One of my friends

is right behind your partner.

Theresa, you okay?

Leo. Leo, you all right?

I lost a tooth.

I definitely broke a rib.

And my ass really hurts

from that damn horse.

But you were cool, man.

You were definitely cool.

- Yeah?

- Yeah.

- You think so.

- Yeah.

- You were cool too, brother.

- Who the hell are these guys?

You should've seen Leo.

He wouldn't give us up.

- No.

- Verdugo sent them.

I bet there's more after them. Listen,

I saw a map, a town called Platzcurro?

I got the coordinates.

Patzcurro is half a day's ride

on horseback. Maybe an hour by truck.

Then we go now.

Listen, you keep my horse with you.

If that truck is leaving, I'm on it.

What if we run into where they keep

Wills? They'll kill him.

The money, only way they get it

is if they keep him alive. They'll kill us first.

- What if they think we're the FBI?

- The FBI won't come in on horseback.

That's a good point. All right,

so we stick to the plan. We find Wills.

We call the American Embassy,

go home, and wait for our check.

Is that all this is about for you?

The money?

I didn't mean it like... As long as

we're here, the money is not a bad thing.

We should get ready.

I didn't mean it like that, Theresa.

Come on. You meant well.

I had a dream last night...

...the guys who killed Rodriguez,

whoever they are...

...were just a myth

Yeah.

I dreamed you orchestrated the thing,

so we wouldn't have to split the money.

I'm not that clever.

Don't underestimate yourself.

Not much.

You understand you habla too much,

I kill you?

Good.

Rise and shine, pumpkin head.

That's what my mother used to say.

If all goes as planned, you should be back

with your pseudo loved ones...

...by happy hour tomorrow night.

At which point,

I will be halfway to handsome.

Before you do

whatever it is you've planned...

...will I be able to talk to my son?

You're sure we're gonna kill you, huh?

- Crossed my mind.

- Well, you're wrong...

...again. You took 50 million from me,

I take 500 million from you.

Which I would've had

if I invested the 50 mil in the first place.

Swear to God. It's an eye for an eye.

Biblical, man.

- Move in right now!

- Don't let it go!

- No.

- No, no, no.

To relax.

Hello.

I'd like to speak to the agent in charge

of the Lyle Wills kidnapping investigation.

Yes, I think I can be of help.

Thank you.

- You said a few minutes, goddamn it.

- It's only been a few minutes.

What's the matter?

Is the Iceman having a meltdown?

Got it. I got it, baby.

I'm all set up for the transfer.

Now, we just gotta put our buddy here

online...

...and the party gets started.

Get out of the way.

Move out of the way. Here we go.

I think Sam just pulled up

with the gas truck.

Just look for the guy

with the dorky cowboy hat...

...and with the King Kong shoulders.

- See him.

- Yup.

Strato Entertainment,

down four and an eighth.

CoreCell, down a half.

SoloNET, down two and change.

Can you back the hell off please?

I can't even hear myself think here.

Janson.

Yeah, Dad?

I wanted to tell you what I do for a living.

For your report.

I turned it in, Dad.

I made some stuff up.

I'm sorry.

But I'd still like to know.

Got it.

Here we go.

All we gotta do is split it up

and we're out of here.

You're insane, Sam.

My God, what just happened?

What was that?

Get out of the way! Get out there!

We split up.

Make them think that there's more of us.

Where...?

My husband, what happened to him?

Jeez, it's not us.

We're headed there now.

The Black Hawks

the Mexican military promised us...

...are both down

with mechanical problems so...

Commercial helicopters are at least

two hours out from Mexico City.

Copy that.

It all starts with an idea, right?

These people come up with ideas.

Good people, good ideas.

That's how you start a business.

Anybody see anything?

I can see the future. You're not in it.

Drop it.

Where's Wills?

Dead.

You're late.

If he was dead,

you would've moved on by now.

The one with Sam

killed my grandfather.

You must be the guy

that killed Rodriguez.

You picked the wrong horse, bubba.

Kill them both.

Got it. Done.

- That's what my company does.

- Done.

You make it sound like charity work,

you puke.
