The Line

---

Police! Help me!

Help me.

They're going to kill me.

Help me.

What're you doing?

They're after me!

Help me.

I got it.

You're 20 minutes late.

Well, you've seen the traffic

around here? It's worse then Bagdad.

Take a seat.

Now...

you said you've come up a few

pay grades, Billy, last time...

I saw you, you sat in front of your

desk at Langley trying to nail that...

dirty blonde secretary

with the nice ass.

What was her name?

Last time I saw you, you and your

boys were getting your asses kicked...

all over downtown Medellin

by Escobar.

Yeah... I remember.

Gentlemen.

These two men, we're not even

sure of their real names.

They're poppy farmers, from about

And they'll be

very willing to produce...

about a billion dollars a year

high grade black tar Heroin.

The deal is, that they'll supply

the Salazar kartel with Heroin...

well under market price, in

exchange for access to the line.

The line?

The drugs routes from this side

of the border to the U.S.

They're bringing a suitcase,

probably smuggled from Pakistan.

- So, what's in it?

- We don't know.

What we do know

that it's hermetically sealed,

and we can't x-ray it.

This suitcase is a test.

If they can get through

with that thing,

we've got a...

a big problemen.

The bottom line we can't guarantee

that something won't make it through.

By the end of day what we're

talking about is the Taliban...

with a pipe line

for whatever they want...

to the U.S, nukes, drugs,

bio-weapons, people...

That will be all for now,

Randall. Thanks.

So...

who would be stupid enough

to let this happen?

I thought you people had this

whole area under control.

And Salazar... he's dying.

Numero two is taking over.

Pelon, that piece of work.

If this deal goes through,

that makes him the biggest

drug trafficker in the west,

even bigger

than our buddy, Escobar.

So... huh, now what? This all

sounds like a local problem to me.

No, until 6 hours ago,

it was mine... officially.

Now it's yours.

No, no, I retired in 96.

Whatever, why don't you start

by giving us some idea...

what your units

operations are in this area.

- My unit?

- Hm.

How close are you?

Pelon is a paranoid psycho.

He keeps moving from one

safe house to the other.

He won't be easy to track, but we'll

give you all the intel we have.

So, you have some one inside?

Yes, one, but I'm not

gonna give you that.

Why not?

Too deep, and... besides,

I don't trust you.

So, what's the verdict?

Did you ever nail...

that dirty blonde

with the nice ass?

Just get the job done,

clean, if possible.

Rest.

- Yeah.

- Mark Shields? Crossover.

This bread, is the body of Christ,

and this wine, is the blood Christ.

This bread, is the body of Christ,

and this wine, is the blood Christ.

This bread, is the body of Christ,

and this wine, is the blood Christ.

This bread...

is the body of Christ,

and this wine,

o sangue de Cristo.

This bread, is the body of Christ,

and this wine, is the blood Christ.

This bread, is the body of Christ...

You take of that thing

we've discussed?

It's done.

Do you know... the new guy?

What's his name?

Martin.

There's always some new guy, huh?

I took care of him.

That's good.

It's good to get your hands

dirty some times, huh?

Let's go.

...and this wine,

is the blood Christ.

The Arabs?

- On their way to his house.

- What?

Go back to your house.

I'm gonna be a minute.

- Entertain 'em.

- Hey, Pelon...

Damn...

- Can I help you, sir?

- Ola, Marin, Tim Marin.

Yes sir, your room is ready.

Have you, uh... seen this guy?

I don't know this guy.

- I need a room.

- It's 5 dollars for 15 minutes.

I need one for 2 days.

You don't wanna stay here,

there's no hot water...

Just give me a room,

the corner if you got one?

Thanks.

That's... uh,

You must need something.

I need you...

to see if someone knows about

the Afghanistan deal.

Of course the do, Rene,

I told you.

I warned you.

Then I got a leak

in my organization.

Maybe.

Probably,

but that's not the point.

Well, what is your point?

The point ist, that no matter how much

money you start to make on this deal.

The Americans will not

let you deal with terrorist.

Even if they're not terrorists.

I didn't ask for your advice,

the deal is going through.

It's my show now.

Obviously.

Sit down, Rene.

Why do you show me

such disrespect?

Sit down.

You know... uh,

people thought I was crazy...

when I turned over the family

buisness to a none family member.

But I always knew

I was doing the right thing.

Because you have

a steadiness about you.

And I believe in you, but...

use your brain.

And you must be smarter

then your enemy.

What're you trying to say?

The Americans...

they're very smart,

but sometimes they can be

incredibly stupid.

They spend all this...

money, time and energy

on so called war on terror.

They put satellites

up in space.

They can ram a smart-bomb

up a camel's ass...

from a situation

And everytime the U.S.

kills an Al Qaida leader,

what happens? There's a new one

before the body is cold.

They do it a million times,

and never get it...

because the real solution,

always eludes them.

Do you know what that is?

Why don't you align with me.

Do nothing.

Nothing?

No.

If you want it shut down

the fundamental flaw system...

all you gotta do

is step out of it's way...

and it'll shut itself down.

Nature has a way

of correcting itself.

You're going to church

like I told you?

Almost every day.

Father Antonio is a good man, you

should always be straight with God.

If you turn your back on God,

God might turn his back on you.

Then you're in trouble.

- You mind checking that out for me?

- Yeah, I'm gonna check it out for you.

Hey?

And next time don't make

such a dramatic entrance.

Remember I'm dying.

They're here.

I grew up here.

And here I am, a babysitter

for f***ing Arabs'.

They're Afghans'.

Whatever.

Welcome, Gentlemen.

"As-Salamu Alaikum".

- "As-Salamu Alaikum".

- "As-Salamu Alaikum".

Welcome.

I'm afraid my Spanish

is deplorable, Mr. Juarez.

And the Spanish translation books

are scares in my country.

With that said, it would be good

to know, that we're safe here.

In English,

if you don't mind.

You're completely safe here.

Please... you've come

a long way, let's go inside.

Manhattan bar, ask for Jos?

I'm looking for Jos?

This is Mexico, brother.

Everyone's named Jos?

Wait here.

Want to buy me a drink?

Uh... no.

Want a woman?

No, I'm good,

I'm fine, thanks.

Why the f***

did you come here for then?

This isn't a good time,

come back a little later.

I think you should take off.

You haven't seen any

piece a sh*t bounty hunters,

have you?

Why don't you two guys

grab a couple beers, huh?

I said, have you seen...

Second floor.

Knock once.

Go back home, f***ing Gringo.

Go.

Something tells me,

you've never done that before?

It is not commonly, acceptable

behavior... in our culture.

I thought it was stoning,
