That's $284,000.

How come you don't know

Benny Alvarez?

Me and Benny have lunch together.

He probably knows me.

You ask him.

We're up to what?

Seven cheques. $1,325,623.

$200,000 more.

- We ought to take a leak.

- Freeze!

Get your hands up!

Go against the wall, turn around.

You're not kidding.

You're under arrest

for violation of the RICO Statute.

"You have the right

to remain silent.

"Anything you say

can and will be taken against you."

How do I know you guys are cops?

What's that say, a**hole?

That's pretty good, man.

Where'd you get that?

You call yourself a Cuban?

You make a real Cuban throw up!

Call your dog off me, Seidelbaum.

I want to call my lawyer.

Lot of good he'll do.

You see that eye there in the clock?

Say, "Hi, honey."

That's pretty cute. Look at that.

You jerk off in front of us,

Seidelbaum?

I was supposed to meet this

chick at 3:
00.

You're a f***ing pain in the ass.

All right, Benny, kill it.

You understand the rights

I've given you?

I know all that bullshit,

Seidelbaum!

Save your breath.

You got nothing on me.

You know it. I know it.

I'm changing dollar bills,

that's all.

You want to waste my time?

Okay. I call my lawyer.

He's the best lawyer in Miami.

He's such a good lawyer...

that by tomorrow morning,

you gonna be working in Alaska.

So dress warm.

Give me a cheque

for $100,000, plus $300,000 in cash.

I guarantee you walk

on the conspiracy charge.

They're gonna come back at us

on a tax evasion...

and they'll get it.

So, what am I looking at here?

Five years. You'll be out in three.

Maybe less, if I can make a deal.

Three f***ing years!

For what?

Washing money? The f***ing country

was built on washed money.

Can't be that bad.

- It's not like Cuba.

- What the f*** you talking?

- The jails are like hotels.

- You kidding me or what?

You f***ing high?

I'll delay the trial.

A year and a half, two years.

You won't even start...

F*** you, man!

I'm not going back

in any cage, okay?

No way. I been there.

Okay, look.

I give you $400,000 more.

Okay, now that's $800,000.

With that kind of money,

you can buy the Supreme Court.

Tony, the law has to prove

beyond a reasonable doubt.

I'm an expert at raising that doubt.

But when you got $1,300,000...

undeclared

staring into a videotape camera...

honey baby, it's hard to convince

a jury you found it in a taxicab.

I'm so glad you could come

on such short notice.

I really appreciate it.

- It's okay.

- How's Elvira?

- Great. How's your wife?

- Three more months.

- Yeah? Congratulations.

- How about you?

When you gonna have another Tony

to take your place?

- I'm working on it.

- You have to work harder. Come.

I want you to meet

some of my friends.

This is Pedro Quinn...

chairman of

the Andes Sugar Corporation.

- Pleasure meeting you.

- Nice to meet you.

General Edward Strasser,

Commander of the First Army Corps.

Pleasure.

This is Ariel Bleyer...

with the Ministry of the Interior.

Tony Montana.

And here is our friend

Charles Goodson from Washington.

- Nice to meet you.

- How do you do, Mr. Montana?

Sit here, Tony.

Gentlemen.

I would like to discuss something...

that is of interest

to all of us here.

You have a problem, Tony.

We have a problem.

I think together

we can solve all our problems.

We all know you have tax troubles

in your country...

and that you may have to do

a little time.

We have friends in Washington...

that assure us these troubles

can be taken care of.

You may have to pay some back taxes,

a big fine...

but there will be no prison.

Okay.

So what's your problem, Alex?

I'll show you my problem.

I've heard about financial...

support the government receives...

from the drug industry in Bolivia.

Well, the irony of this

is that this money...

which is in the billions...

is coming from your country.

You are the major purchaser

of our national product...

which is cocaine.

You're saying

the U.S. Government...

is spending millions to eliminate

the flow of drugs onto our streets.

At the same time...

we are doing business

with the same government...

that is flooding our streets

with cocaine.

Let me show you

a few of the other characters...

that are involved

in this tragic comedy.

My organization just recently traced

a large purchase by this man.

This charming face here

belongs to General Cucombre.

He is the Minister of the Defense

of Bolivia, my country.

And General Cucombre just

a couple months ago...

bought a $12 million villa

on Lake Lucerne in Switzerland.

Now, if Cucombre is supposed to be

the Bolivian Defense Minister...

what is he doing

living in Switzerland?

Guarding cash registers?

This man here, Alejandro Sosa,

a very interesting character.

He's a wealthy landowner...

educated in England,

very good family.

But this man is the business brain

and drug overlord...

of an empire that stretches

across the Andes.

He's not your ordinary drug dealer.

Well, discussing it openly...

He's scheduled for 60 Minutes next.

He is going on French, British,

Italian, Japanese television.

People everywhere

are starting to listen to him.

It's embarrassing, Tony.

That is our problem.

You remember Alberto, don't you?

How could I forget him?

Alberto is an expert

in the disposal business.

He's going to help us

fix our problem.

But he doesn't speak English.

He doesn't know his way

around the States too well.

He needs a little help.

Is that a problem, Tony?

No problem.

Good.

So what's the big mystery

with the Bolivian situation?

You gonna tell me what happened

with Sosa, or what?

A lot of bullshit,

that's what happened.

Politics.

I want you to stay down here

for a while.

Run things for me.

I gotta go to New York next week.

F*** this, man.

I don't like it, man.

I don't like this at all.

You don't like it?

You got me into this mess

in the first place.

With that f***ing Seidelbaum,

that right?

With Seidelbaum?

What does Seidelbaum

have to do with Sosa?

How do you connect those two?

Why don't you eat your food?

What's wrong with it?

I'm not hungry.

You're not hungry?

Do you know about the trial?

- What did you order it for, then?

- I lost my appetite.

Do you even know that Sheffield said

he can get you a postponement?

Is this it?

That's what it's all about?

Eating, drinking...

f***ing, sucking...

- Come on, man.

- Snorting?

Then what?

Tell me. Then what?

You're 50.

You got a bag for a belly.

You got tits, you need a bra.

They got hair on them.

You got a liver,

and they got spots on it...

and you're eating

this f***ing sh*t...

and you're looking like

these rich f***ing mummies in here.

Come on. It's not so bad.

It could be worse.

- Is this what it's all about?

- Forget it.

This what I work for? Tell me.

Look at that.

A junkie.

I got a f***ing junkie for a wife.
