Mr. Nice Page #7

of quite clearly spurious national security

cannot be permitted to intervene

on the prosecution's case.

My Lord, the defendant was challenged

to produce this witness and he has done so.

- Did you try to recruit this man here?

- Yes, I did.

I gave him $150,000.

I can't tell you why, your Honour.

It's a matter of national security.

What nobody knew was

that the Mexican was, in fact, a real cop

who was a buddy of Ernie Combs.

This was committing perjury

on a grand scaIe.

Was anyone reaIIy gonna buy aII this?

Has the jury reached a verdict

upon which you are all agreed?

Yes.

Will the defendant please stand?

Members of the jury, how do you find

the defendant? Guilty or not guilty?

Not guilty.

Mr Marks, you are free to go.

Thank you.

- Rey!

- This way, sir.

Whoa!

- Promise me you'll never deal drugs again.

- I promise.

- Look me in the eye and say it.

- I promise.

The city of Palma is a delightful mixture of

medieval, ltalian and Moorish architecture.

PeopIe smoke hash in the streets,

the weather is perfect.

We figured we couId Iive here.

I set up a wine import business.

Meticulous accounts were maintained,

and national insurance, income tax,

graduated pensions,

corporation tax and vaIue-added tax

were most conscientiousIy paid.

I was very busy and very straight.

I was aIso very bored.

Aw, flip.

Was that wrong?

What should you do

when someone offers you drugs?

Just say no!

What will you do

when someone offers you drugs?

Just say no!

- I can't hear you.

- Just say no!

- Ah, DH Marks! How are you, my friend?

- Are you all right?

- Good to see you.

- Enjoy the flight?

- Ah, it was OK.

- Yeah? Tired?

I am a bit tired, actually.

Bit thirsty and hungry as well.

Oi!

Are you waiting for me? Yeah?

Did you get the picture?

- DH Marks, you are the absolute limit.

- Don't panic.

We just got some coordinates.

We have latitude North 06 35 04.

Longitude, we have West 152 53 02.

- Hey!

- Ernie.

- Cmo est? Hey!

- Ernie boy.

I just got tickets for this play tonight.

I just got them right now.

- It's the first, you know. It's the first.

- Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

The first! The first! The first!

F*** it, the first!

Unfortunately, I can't...

go to the...show tonight,

because of this testing thing.

- Talk to Patti.

- Howard.

Hey, Patti!

- So I can open the champagne?

- Here, in my room.

God bless Afghanistan.

Full house. Stellar reviews.

Get here for the next matinee.

Adios. Thank you. Enjoy yourself.

Afghanistan!

Hey.

Hey. Me Joseph, you Mary.

- Baby Jesus.

- All right.

Baby. Hey, come here.

- Freeze!

- Raise your hands. Don't move.

Calm down. Calm down.

Hello, hello

F***.

Howard, answer the phone.

Let it ring.

- Hola.

- Howard?

Hey, Patrick! Here, you wanna

speak to your new nephew?

- A friend of yours has a little problem.

- Oh, really?

A medical problem, Howard.

Erm... The ambulance came and got him,

and hauled him off to the hospital,

him and his wife.

- Are you OK?

- I don't know.

Look, the thing is, Howard,

he was bitten by the dog.

- Your dog.

- M-my... My dog is sick?

- Your dog has rabies.

- OK, erm...

Patrick, I-I'm gonna...

I'm gonna call you back, right?

In a couple of hours. I'll call you back, OK?

- Howard, call me.

- OK.

Are you Patrick Lane? You're under arrest.

- The girls don't wanna go. Nor do I.

- Listen, we'll enjoy it when we get there.

- I'm tired.

- You like curry. You love it.

Yes, you do.

We can do a poppadom smash.

You'll spend ten minutes eating curry.

Then you'll be in Taki's bar

and I'll be stuck with the kids.

One, two, three...

Poppadom smash up! Cornflakes!

Our favourite bit!

War on drugs.

What the f*** is a war?

How can you declare war

on a f***ing drug?

It's a plant.

Most drugs are derivatives of plants.

How can you declare war on f***ing plants?

- Howard, why don't you stop?

- Stop what?

- Just stop.

- I'm feeding my family, right?

I'm scared.

Scared they're gonna bust you.

They're not gonna bust me here.

Don't be scared. Listen, listen.

Look at this. I don't wanna lose this.

I wanna be a husband and a father.

I don't wanna miss out on that.

You know, I was gonna slow up.

Now I'm...

Already I'm a middle man now.

You know? In two years' time we'll be...

we'll be legit.

Really?

Really.

Angel, my angel.

I love you.

I love you so much.

Hey!

Stop...that.

I've got to make a phone call.

Hello.

Hello?

- Amber, pour me the juice. I can't get it.

- Come on, girls.

Amber, pass the orange juice.

Hey, don't touch Daddy's box, OK?

Hello?

Oh, Dave. Yeah, yeah, I'll buzz you in.

Oi, oi!

It's not exactly tennis weather, is it?

Well, you never know,

it might brighten up a bit.

Yeah. Mmm.

- But if not, I'll get something warmer on...

- Put something on and come in for a spliff.

See you in a minute.

See you in a minute, girls.

Hello. Can I help you?

Tranquillo. Tranquillo.

- OK.

- Stop, stop, stop, stop. Stop, stop.

Hey, hey, hey!

Let's have him now.

Come on, bring him to the car.

Vamos.

- Judy.

- Vamos.

I wanna see my wife and children

before I go.

- I wanna see my wife and children.

- Later.

- Dave.

- What's going on here?

- What's going on?

- Just see the kids are OK, and Judy, OK?

No!

ln Britain, the United States, Spain and

other countries spanning three continents,

the men who wage war

against the drug traffickers

have been ceIebrating the success

of Operation Lynx.

After more than two years of undercover

work, it's culminated in a series of arrests

and the smashing of what's being caIIed

one of the world's biggest drugs rings,

a ring aIIegedIy masterminded by a Briton,

Dennis Marks, who is aged 43.

This afternoon, he, his wife

and another British citizen

appeared in court in PaIma, Majorca,

where they've been Iiving.

They face extradition to the United States.

We're an innocent coupIe with a famiIy.

AII we want... We just wanna be with our

children. We wanna be with our children.

There is no reason in the world why my wife

should be locked up in this establishment.

She has committed no crime. The children

are with their aunt at the moment.

Of course,

we're both desperate to see them.

It Iooks as if Marks and the others

will be extradited to Miami within days.

Spanish police have cooperated fully

with both the investigation and the arrests.

Spain is unIikeIy to act as a haven.

- Please state your name for the record.

- Patrick Lane.

No way can I become a snitch, a grass,

a chivato, a stooI pigeon, a squeaIer,

a rat, a traitor, a wrong 'un,

a betrayer, a Judas.

How would you describe your function

in the Marks cartel?

Guilty.

In your witness statement, Mr Malik,

you suggested that you were responsible

for creating in factories in Afghanistan

hashish that was distributed by Mr Marks.

Is that true?

- Guilty.

- Mr Malik, please.

We expect that you will answer the question

to the best of your ability.
