What's your poison?

Tequila.

- No lime, no salt.

- Coming right up.

Man, I never saw anybody drink tequila

like that and still read the Bible.

It's exactly the kind of medicine

this town needs.

- You know what I mean?

- I know exactly what you mean.

Look, you f***ing loser.

You owe us two grand.

We want our f***ing money.

- Hit him!

- Pay up, fool!

A**hole!

Quit messing around

and pay us our damn money.

Back off, man.

It's none of your business.

God damn it, get out of the way,

or we're going to beat you, too.

Hey, mister. Step back.

- That was good.

- Sh*t.

Hey, mister.

Thanks a lot. I'm Billy.

Which way to the cemetery?

Up that way. Over the bridge.

You can't miss it.

My... My hat, mister.

My condolences.

I guess I could say a few words

for our dearly departed brother

from the book of Samuel.

"The Lord brings death

and makes alive,

"he brings down to the

grave and raises up.

"The Lord sends poverty and wealth,

he humbles, he exalts.

"He raises the poor from the dust,

and the needy from the ash heap,

"he seats them with princes

"and has them inherit

a throne of honor."

Amen.

Excuse me.

You read from the Bible.

It was very kind of you.

Thanks.

You got a minute?

I'd like to introduce you to the family.

This is my father, White Deer.

And this is my son, Junior.

This is my daughter, Kiowa.

Everybody loved JJ.

Did you serve together?

- You could say that.

- Were you in his unit?

'Cause I don't see you in the pictures.

- You know, they say he drowned in a river.

- Yeah, right.

Take your hat off.

There's a heck of a nice bike out there.

Who does that belong to, you?

I don't believe we've met. John Reno.

A pleasure.

Are you... You a friend

of JJ's, are you?

Yeah, well, he's a good man.

You going to stay with us long?

Maybe.

Well, I heard about

your little adventure in town, there.

Trying to help that druggie kid out?

I got to tell you, it's no offense,

but you're wasting your time.

Ain't much of your business.

Anyway, you need anything,

you let me know, all right?

You said you were from up north,

is that right?

Boy, boy, he's talking to you.

Peace, brother.

This is a time for mourning, not fighting.

Murph, not yet.

Let go of me.

And don't you ever touch me again.

Easy, darling, I'm not going to hurt you.

Prettiest girl in town,

won't give me the time of day.

How you figure that, Murph?

Look, I'm all broke up about JJ,

just like you are. He's a friend of mine.

Besides, I... I just want to warn you...

A lot of bad things happening

in this town to people right now,

especially folks who don't

mind their own business.

You understand? Saddle up, fellas.

Come see me at the dealership.

Hi, there. What can I get you, mister?

- I guess I'll settle for a room.

- Okay. Well, let's see.

Since we only get a few customers

each week, I think we can fit you in.

- Staying long?

- How much for a week?

Okay. Well, let's see. That's 50 bucks a day,

and one day free

for our seven-day special rate.

Let's call it an even 300.

You must be here for the funeral.

JJ was a good man. Great carpenter.

Used to help me with the little things

around here, whenever he had the time.

If you need anything, just let me know.

Will do.

- Is that him?

- No f***ing way.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's him.

That motherf***er.

Who's he think he's messing with?

Back off, hound dog.

- He's at the hotel, boss.

- He's at the hotel.

Why don't you thrill me

with your analysis, Murph.

What do you think he is? ATF, Fed, what?

It's kind of hard to tell.

The folks down at the funeral

said he's pretty harmless.

I mean, he reads the Bible, drinks tequila.

Pretty much keeps to himself.

I see.

He took us by surprise, boss.

It's not going to happen again.

It better not happen again.

So from now on,

it's just going to be business as usual

here on this great reservation.

Yeah, right. Business as usual, boss.

You just keep a goddamn eye

on our mystery man.

- What?

- The biker with the f***ing Bible, Gomez.

Pay attention.

I want you to put a couple of men on him.

Especially tonight.

I don't want any problems,

not with this shipment,

and I don't want people thinking

I'm starting to lose my grip

on this miserable excuse for a town.

You understand?

- Sure thing, boss.

- Murph? Murph?

- Yes, sir, boss.

- Good.

Come on, Reno. Come over here and ride me

like the cowboy I know you are.

I'm here, darling. I'm going to saddle you up

like a quarter horse.

Shaved just like I like it.

You taste like a peach.

Heard you were a friend of JJ's.

- That's right.

- Well, that's real nice.

Funeral's over. He's dead and buried.

So what are you still doing here?

I've got my eyes on you. Remember that.

Stay out of trouble.

Oh, my lovely young bird.

Hurt, angry, lonely and nowhere to fly.

He didn't drown.

JJ knew something about Reno.

Oh, sweetheart,

I know how close you were to JJ.

He was like a father to you.

But you have to think

of the rest of the family now.

We have to be careful. Reno can do just

about anything he wants to in this town.

He didn't drown.

You're upset about JJ, huh?

Do you really think

that Reno tried to kill him?

- It's crazy.

- I just can't take it anymore.

But, Kiowa, if that happened to him because

of what we're trying to do, what about us?

JJ was right.

I mean, other Tribal Council members

might be on Reno's side.

That's crazy.

Let's see what happens. I bet JJ was right.

The Council meeting is getting ready

to start, so everyone come in.

Welcome, everyone.

This Tribal Council is in session.

We are finally ready to decide on two

proposals for this Council from last month.

I wanted to postpone

today's meeting, because of JJ.

We all loved him. He was one of the most

respected members of this Council.

Assistant Chief Lance suggested

we still discuss the Gaming 3 proposal.

The Tribal Council has carefully studied

and weighed the advantages

and disadvantages of both proposals.

We've had a proposal for the building

of a casino on the Tribal property,

by Lance's construction group.

This proposal would bring many new jobs

and much revenue for our people.

However, I'm very concerned with the many

negative aspects of this proposal.

For now, there's a very innovative

on-line gaming alternative,

proposed by the late JJ,

his sister Nancy and their family.

This proposal offers

more highly-skilled jobs

and training for our people,

and takes advantage of the gaming profits

without the negative aspects.

I will recommend this proposal

to the Council.

- And as you all know, my veto counts.

- Dan, we need to rethink this.

There is too much money on the table

for this tribe to lose.

I'm sorry. My decision is final.

- This is ridiculous.

- Yeah. Yeah, I know.

Don't worry about it. I'll take care of it.

So, how was everything?

Not bad.

Well, I don't know how to say this,

- but you don't look like a mean, old biker.

- Now, why is that?

Dolph Lundgren

Hans "Dolph" Lundgren (Swedish: [ˈdɔlf ˈlɵndgreːn] ( listen); born 3 November 1957) is a Swedish actor, director, screenwriter, producer, and martial artist. Lundgren received a degree in chemical engineering from the Royal Institute of Technology in the early 1980s and a master's degree in chemical engineering from the University of Sydney in 1982. He holds the rank of 3rd dan black belt in Kyokushin karate and was European champion in 1980-81. While in Sydney, he became a bodyguard for Jamaican singer Grace Jones and began a relationship with her. He received a Fulbright scholarship to MIT and moved to Boston. Jones convinced him to leave the university and move to New York City to be with her and begin acting, where, after a short stint as a model and bouncer at the Manhattan nightclub The Limelight, Lundgren got a small debut role as a KGB henchman in the James Bond film A View to a Kill, in which Jones starred. Lundgren's breakthrough came in 1985, when he starred in Rocky IV as the imposing Soviet boxer Ivan Drago. Since then, he has starred in more than 40 films, almost all of them in the action genre. He portrayed He-Man in the 1987 science fantasy film Masters of the Universe , Red Scorpion (1988) and Frank Castle in the 1989 film The Punisher. Throughout the 1990s he appeared in films such as Dark Angel (1990), Cover-Up (1991), Showdown in Little Tokyo (1991), Universal Soldier (1992), Joshua Tree (1993), Pentathlon (1994), Men of War (1994), Johnny Mnemonic (1995), The Shooter (1995), Silent Trigger (1996) and Blackjack (1998). In 2004 he directed his first film, The Defender, and subsequently directed The Mechanik (2005), Missionary Man (2007), Command Performance (2009), and Icarus (2010), also starring in all of them. After a long spell performing in direct-to-video films since 1995, Lundgren returned to Hollywood in 2010 with the role of Gunner Jensen in The Expendables, alongside Sylvester Stallone and an all-action star cast. He reprised his role in The Expendables 2 (2012) and The Expendables 3 (2014). Also in 2014, he co-starred in Skin Trade, an action thriller about human trafficking he co-wrote and produced. The film marks his third collaboration with Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa, the previous two being Showdown in Little Tokyo (1991) and Bridge of Dragons (1999). He is due to reprise his role as Gunner Jensen in The Expendables 4 (2020), and his Rocky IV role of Ivan Drago in the upcoming sequel to Creed. He appears in Sharknado 5, Global Swarming (2017), playing the protagonist's son Gil as an adult. more…
