Poblo's Rhino! Yeah! Whoo!
0:04
Poblo's Rhino, written by
0:06
Craig Goodwill and Sam
0:08
Ruano, inspired by a
0:10
true story. Fade in.
0:13
Exterior Pacific Coast Highway,
0:15
California, California, day, 2003. A
0:17
sensible Volvo cruises down an
0:19
open stretch of California highway.
0:21
Windows are rolled down. Wouldn't
0:23
it be nice, plays over
0:25
the stereo. We move in
0:27
closer. for a look at
0:30
the driver. Interior, exterior, Charlie's
0:32
Volvo Day. Good old Charlie
0:34
Bleaker, 42. A middle-aged white
0:36
guy and a short-sleeved button-down
0:38
collar shirt and brown tie.
0:40
Hands him if he tried
0:42
harder. Charlie hums along with
0:44
his hands, gripped firmly at 10
0:46
and 2. Former
1:12
by
1:15
Snowe
1:18
comes
1:20
on,
1:23
Charlie
1:26
knows
1:28
every
1:31
word.
1:34
Kinda. The driver is a beautiful
1:36
son kiss surfer girl. Her surfboard
1:38
is propped up in the passenger
1:41
seat. She pulls up alongside Charlie
1:43
catching and bopping along and smiles.
1:46
Charlie's sunglasses flip down unintentionally, but
1:48
it gets him a laugh. He
1:50
plays it cool. She gestures with
1:53
her hand mimicking a surfboard as
1:55
if to say, do you surf?
1:58
Charlie raises a coy eyebrow. everybody
2:00
win? An 18-wheeler pulls up behind
2:03
Charlie and honks for him to
2:05
speed up. Charlie crooks and eyebrow
2:07
at the surfer girl who bites
2:09
her lower lip and beckons him
2:12
to follow. She drives off. He
2:14
steps on the gas but quickly
2:16
swerves to avoid the truck that
2:19
just cut him off. Great. Now
2:21
he's stuck staring at this jerk's
2:23
giant bumper sticker that reads, move
2:25
it or lose it. Charlie honks.
2:28
He tries to pass, but the
2:30
truck blocks him at every turn.
2:32
The trucker chuckles and flips him
2:34
the bird. Oh, you want to
2:37
play? Let's play. Charlie fakes left,
2:39
moves far right. The truck swerves
2:41
to block him. Charlie yanks the
2:43
steering wheel left and veers into
2:46
oncoming traffic. He shrieks as the
2:48
car is about to crash. Interior,
2:50
exterior, Charlie's Volvo Day. Charlie opens
2:52
his eyes. He is not about
2:55
to die. The red convertible passes
2:57
in without incident. More honking cars
2:59
pass as Charlie realizes his daydreaming
3:02
is holding up traffic. Off screen.
3:04
Charlie checks his rear view meet.
3:06
Oh Christ, now what? A cop
3:08
car is pulled up in front
3:11
of him. Behind the wheel is
3:13
a no-nonsense female cop 38. We
3:15
will come to know as Audrey,
3:17
Charlie's ex-sex wife. She exits and
3:20
approaches. Charlie curses his life. Unbelievable.
3:22
Were you following me? License and
3:24
registration. Seriously, no. What am I
3:26
going to say? I have no
3:29
idea what you're going to say.
3:31
Then why'd you roll your eyes?
3:33
Why were you following me? She
3:35
lowers her mirrored sunglasses and peaks
3:38
in the back seat. We see
3:40
a pile of accounting for dummy's
3:42
type of books with Charlie's nerdy
3:45
face on the cover. Is this
3:47
how you drive Winder with our
3:49
son? Slowly, cautiously, of course. So
3:51
where are we off to, so
3:54
slowly? Well, to see my publisher,
3:56
if we must know. So, if
3:58
we're done. Fine. I'll let you
4:00
off with a warning. Oh, some
4:03
agnanimous. Charlie rolls up his window,
4:05
but... Audrey blocks it. See, saying
4:07
shit like that is the reason
4:09
we got divorced. Okay, really? Because
4:12
I thought it had something to
4:14
do with, oh, I don't know,
4:16
you suddenly discovering that you were
4:18
a lesbian? The warning is this,
4:21
Charlie, stay in your lane or
4:23
you might get hurt. Are we
4:25
done? Oh, we are so done.
4:27
Don't forget about Ben's career day.
4:30
He's expecting you. Charlie salutes her
4:32
and drives off. Cut two, interior,
4:34
Terrence Coleman's mansion day. A wall
4:37
of mounted animal heads stare down
4:39
at Charlie. They've all been stuffed,
4:41
look like they're smiling. Charlie stares
4:43
at a mount that has a
4:46
mirror in place of a head.
4:48
Beneath it is an engraved plaque
4:50
that reads, You could be next.
4:52
Charlie turns to meet Terrence Coleman,
4:55
70s. An imposing man in a
4:57
smoking jacket with a rifle tucked
4:59
under one arm. Hello, Terrence. How's
5:01
my number one author doing, huh?
5:04
Another bestseller in the works. Oh.
5:06
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I
5:08
got a, I got a. loads
5:10
of new ideas. Terrence holds up
5:13
a finger to gesture he's on
5:15
a call. We notice he has
5:17
an earpiece in. Charlie shuffles awkwardly.
5:20
Splendid. Can't wait to read. Terrence
5:22
hands Charlie the rifle. I'm not
5:24
really into... Charlie holds it like
5:26
a dead fish. 50 large for
5:29
an advance sound okay? Terrific. All
5:31
right, bye. You feel that cold
5:33
hard steel as you grip the
5:35
shaft? Slide your finger and blam!
5:38
Dinner! He slaps Charlie on the
5:40
back. The gun fired sitting a
5:42
statue blowing off its giant cock.
5:44
Aim higher next time. Okay, Terence,
5:47
on the phone you said you
5:49
had some important news. Terence turns
5:51
heel and walks out. Charlie follows.
5:53
exterior, cliff-side terrace continuous. Terrence walks
5:56
up to his butler and hands
5:58
him his robe. Charlie! You
6:01
were my very first client. You
6:03
took a chance on me when
6:05
no one else would, which is
6:08
why I wanted to tell you
6:10
this in person. Beneath the robe,
6:13
he's wearing a full leather body
6:15
harness with a stud piece and
6:17
nothing else. His nipples are pierced
6:20
with large bullrings. Coleman Publishing has
6:22
decided to drop you. What? Why?
6:25
The butler holds out gloves and
6:27
marksman sunglasses on a tray. Coleman
6:29
puts these on. Well. Well, there
6:32
comes a time when a man
6:34
needs to let go and let
6:37
God. Okay, I don't know what
6:39
that means. It means people aren't
6:41
buying accounting books anymore. No one
6:44
wants to be called a dummy
6:46
for something they can have well,
6:49
someone like you do for them.
6:51
Well, okay, but you know, it's
6:53
actually a good thing because I
6:56
was thinking of switching things up,
6:58
you know, maybe write a thriller.
7:01
Charlie, Charlie, come on, you're an
7:03
accountant. There are many words to
7:05
describe you, but thrilling. Hmm. Really?
7:08
I never said it was an
7:10
autobiography. Exactly my point. People these
7:13
days crave romance. Adventure. Danger. Coleman
7:15
steps to the edge of a
7:17
cliff. Charlie peaks. It's a long
7:20
way down. I can do danger.
7:22
He recoils at the height. Clenches
7:25
his heart. Charlie, when I first
7:27
started out, I was living in
7:29
a basement apartment selling zines I
7:32
printed on a dot matrix printer.
7:34
Remember those? Yes, yes, yes, I
7:37
remember. Now look at me, much
7:39
of what I owe to you.
7:41
I took your advice and invested.
7:44
I invested. The royalty sure. Probably
7:46
got it squurl away in all
7:49
sorts of low-risk, low... kind of
7:51
return hideouts. It's called fiscal responsibility.
7:53
Coleman gives a nod to the
7:56
butler who hands him one of
7:58
Charlie's books. He flips to a
8:01
mark. page. This is from the
8:03
forward of your very first book,
8:05
accounting for druly imbeciles. The most
8:08
important investment you will ever make
8:10
is in yourself. What's your point?
8:13
Well, I'm going to do for
8:15
you, which you did for me
8:17
all those years ago. I'm going
8:20
to give you the chance to
8:22
invest in yourself. So you're not
8:25
dropping me. Oh, I'm still dropping
8:27
you. But with a first look
8:29
promise of whenever you write next,
8:32
dare to be different. That's it?
8:34
Life doesn't come with a safety
8:37
net. Ho! The butler yanks the
8:39
skeet lever shooting off a disc.
8:41
Coleman falls backwards off the terrace
8:44
and fires smashing the clay pigeon
8:46
to bits. Good luck! The
8:54
bungee cord snaps back. Minus
8:56
Coleman. Charlie and the butler
8:58
casually peer off the ledge
9:00
and cringe. We see a
9:02
parachute open up. Cut two.
9:04
Exterior out to California Public
9:06
School Day. Charlie pulls up
9:08
to the front of his
9:10
school. It's a drive carefully
9:12
sign. He gets out in
9:14
a rush to stand it
9:17
back up. His cell phone
9:19
rings. Charlie fumbles to answer
9:21
it. Intercut with... exterior, tropicali
9:23
club, alley, day. Marcus 42,
9:25
every part the hairy-chested gold
9:27
chain-wearing club owner, is on
9:29
the other end supervising a
9:31
delivery of kegs being unloaded.
9:33
Marcus, I can't talk right
9:35
now. Oh, hello, Marcus. How's
9:37
my oldest, bestest friend? I'm
9:39
fine, Charlie. Thanks for asking.
9:41
Listen, I'm late for Ben's
9:43
career day. Oh, Ben needs
9:45
a job? Why don't you
9:47
say so? Can he ten
9:49
Bart? Men's room attended then.
9:51
Anyway, listen, I need your
9:53
input on a business thingy.
9:56
What kind of business thingy?
9:58
Investment opportunity you love. Okay,
10:00
Marcus, I'm pretty swamp these
10:02
days working on a new
10:04
book. Uh-huh, uh-huh. Yeah, remind
10:06
me again, who saved you
10:08
from drowning back in third
10:10
grade? Sam did. Only because
10:12
I pushed him in too.
10:14
Alleyway. A car pulls up
10:16
at the other end of
10:18
the alley. Two burly Latino
10:20
guys get out. One holds
10:22
a bat. Back on Marcus.
10:24
Oh, fuck. What? What's the
10:26
matter? Nothing. Nothing. We'll discuss
10:28
it at Sam's party, so
10:30
do not bail. Marcus walks
10:32
away slowly at first, then
10:35
briskly, the guys follow. Oh,
10:37
is that tonight? Marcus takes
10:39
off running. Okay, gotta go
10:41
talk later. Charlie hears heavy
10:43
panting on the line, so
10:45
he hangs up. Interior, Alta
10:47
California Public School, hallway, day.
10:49
Charlie stops in front of
10:51
a classroom and peaks in,
10:53
spotting his cherabic son Ben-8.
10:55
He waves. Ben looks up
10:57
like he's just been caught
10:59
with his hand in the
11:01
cookie jar. The teacher, 28,
11:03
comes over and opens the
11:05
door for Charlie. Hi, am
11:07
I too late? Too late
11:09
for... Career day. I'm Charlie
11:11
Bleeker, Ben's dad. Oh, you
11:14
must be the donor. Ben's
11:16
other mom said you might
11:18
stop by. Of course you're
11:20
welcome to sit in. Donor?
11:22
Hmm. A very confused Charlie
11:24
is led inside to find.
11:26
Interior classroom day. Carla 42,
11:28
an attractive, albeit hulking woman
11:30
in a security guard uniform,
11:32
addresses the class beneath a
11:34
banner that reads, Career Day.
11:36
Okay, as head of the
11:38
stadium security rose jade through
11:40
L, I've been in the
11:42
shit. Shit, sorry, I said
11:44
the shit boy. The kids
11:46
giggle. Tell he's about to
11:48
protest, but he looks over
11:50
at Ben who begs him
11:53
with his eyes to keep
11:55
quiet. Anyway, what was I?
11:57
Shit. Right, shit. That's why
11:59
I carry this... That boy.
12:01
Carla lifts a pant leg
12:03
to reveal a taser. She
12:05
takes it out of its
12:07
ankle holster and holds it
12:09
up for everyone to see.
12:11
50,000 bulls. Piss your pants
12:13
just It's right here, kids.
12:15
Come on, sweetie. Pass it
12:17
around. Teacher scrunch is a
12:19
no smile. Carla shrugs and
12:21
holsters it. Last bit of
12:23
a vice before I go.
12:25
Carla leans in like it's
12:27
a secret. The class leans
12:29
in, too. You ever find
12:31
yourself under some tweaker quickest
12:34
way to get him or
12:36
hair off? Jamma thumb. Right
12:38
up the pewter. No matter
12:40
the size of them. That
12:42
sum of a bitch. Put
12:44
right off every time. Go
12:46
ahead and try it on
12:48
a friend. A few kids
12:50
in the back are already
12:52
trying it. Oh, okay. That
12:54
was insightful. Class, can we
12:56
all say thank you to
12:58
Mrs. Bleaker? No, she's not.
13:00
Thank you to Mrs. Bleaker.
13:02
Carla sits and gives Charlie
13:04
the old finger guns. Charlie
13:06
stands and coughs expensive. Okay,
13:08
we have a final surprise
13:10
speaker. Benjamin's, um, a paternal
13:13
figure? Ben's actual dad. Charlie
13:15
nods and walks up to
13:17
the front awkwardly, just as
13:19
the bell rings. The kids
13:21
dash out before Charlie can
13:23
even say hi. Carlos watched
13:25
Charlie in the back as
13:27
she leaves. Hey, Chuck, looks
13:29
like I stole your spot
13:31
again. Sorry, Dad. She kind
13:33
of just showed up. I
13:35
tried stalling, you really should
13:37
have been here sooner. Ben
13:39
runs off after his friends
13:41
leaving Charlie alone. Cut two,
13:43
exterior, tropicali club, night. A
13:45
bouncer lets a few people
13:47
in through the double doors
13:49
past a sign that reads,
13:52
closed for private event. Oh,
13:54
Stacey and I are, well,
13:56
we're just so happy to
13:58
have our friends and family
14:00
here. Interior, tropicali, club, night.
14:02
Sam 41 stylish with boyish
14:04
good looks gives a speech
14:06
while Stacy 38 his frisky
14:08
and perpetual New Fiance keeps
14:10
fondling his ass, making it
14:12
even tougher for him to
14:14
speak. To help us celebrate
14:16
our engagement like this and
14:18
wealth. We look forward to
14:21
seeing you. Stacey
14:23
sloppily nibbles on
14:25
Sam's ear. Well, okay, we were
14:28
walking back to my place, a
14:30
little gypsy and exhausted, so I
14:32
turned to Stacey and I said,
14:35
will you carry me? People in
14:37
the crowd, Snicker. Stacey flashes a
14:39
devil's side. Before I knew it,
14:42
Stacey had planned this party and
14:44
booked a caterer. Sam Husky dad
14:46
steps in and grabs the mic
14:49
as Sam hands and drunk Stacey
14:51
after one of her friends. Who
14:53
would have thought, after all
14:56
these years, my boy. Walking
14:58
down the aisle, man and
15:00
wife, man and fucking
15:02
wife. People cheer. A
15:05
voice from the back
15:07
calls out over the
15:10
crowd. The crowd turns
15:13
to see Philippe 30s,
15:15
a flamboyant, albeit tiny
15:18
French man storming
15:20
in from the
15:22
back. Charlie
15:25
and Marcus exchange looks. Oh
15:27
shit. The crowd turns back
15:29
to... Sorry, do we say
15:31
Felipe or Felipe? Do we
15:34
have a preference? I don't
15:36
think you should try to
15:38
define it. And quite honestly,
15:40
I like if you're calling
15:42
him one thing... And he's
15:44
calling us? Okay. I'll keep
15:47
calling him Felipe then. Yeah.
15:49
Okay, great. Charlie and Marcus
15:51
exchange looks. Oh shit. Crowd
15:53
turns back to Felipe, then
15:55
to Sam, then to Stacey.
15:57
You said you love me!
16:00
What I meant was... Sam marinates
16:02
and everyone stares, takes a deep
16:04
breath. Oh, fuck it! We, Mosheli,
16:06
we, we, I love this man,
16:08
and I'm going to... Drunk Stacey
16:11
smashes Sam with the right hook.
16:13
Mmm. Believe Justin, can you go
16:15
take it? Drunk Stacey smashes Sam
16:17
with a right hook. Felipe jumps
16:19
on Stacey's back. She swings him
16:22
around, knocks Charlie in the gut.
16:24
He goes crashing into the drink
16:26
table. Marcus tries to intervene and
16:28
gets smashed in the face by
16:30
Stacey. People stand back and gone.
16:33
Bill. That's my boy. Dissolve to
16:35
interior tropical tropicali club later. Everyone's
16:37
gone. Balloons deflated in the banner
16:39
torn. Charlie and Marcus sit at
16:42
the bar flanking Sam, who holds
16:44
a bottle of wine over his
16:46
swollen eye. They all look like
16:48
they've been through the ringer. So,
16:50
uh, that went well. Charlie patched
16:53
Sam on the back. I guess
16:55
you were bound to find out
16:57
sooner or later. I've been living
16:59
a lie. Charlie and Marcus exchanged
17:01
a look. A beat. They crack
17:04
up. So you guys knew? How?
17:06
I only figured it out a
17:08
couple of months ago. Who told
17:10
you? Well, let's see, your parents,
17:12
teacher's mailman. Coach Riley, pastor Tim,
17:15
Shalumba, that foreign exchange kid back
17:17
in eighth grade. A barman comes
17:19
over and whispers into Marcus's ear.
17:21
He downs his drink and makes
17:24
his way towards the kitchen. You
17:26
know how hard it was for
17:28
me to admit? Oh, relax, gay
17:30
is a new black. Just ask
17:32
Charlie's gay black wife. Yeah, the
17:35
only reason we never said anything
17:37
was because it seemed like such
17:39
a big deal to you. So
17:41
wait, this entire... time I could
17:43
have been just proud and loud.
17:46
Refill? Same holds up two fingers.
17:48
Okay I better go see where
17:50
Marcus ran off too. Charlie makes
17:52
his way to the kitchen. He's
17:55
about to push through the swinging
17:57
doors when he sees Marcus through
17:59
the portal window in a heated
18:01
discussion with two South American, 40
18:03
mob guys. One of them chefs
18:06
Marcus up against the wall before
18:08
exiting past Charlie. Marcus sucks in
18:10
his gut and follows them out.
18:12
Sure, yep, I'll call you. What
18:14
was that all about? That? Yeah,
18:17
just one of my backers telling
18:19
me he's uh... He's back. Sam
18:21
walks up to them waving an
18:23
empty glass. Hey! There's the man
18:25
of the hour. Marcus throws an
18:28
arm around both of them. What's
18:30
what the long faces? I thought
18:32
we were celebrating. Celebrating what exactly?
18:34
Our collective midlife crises? Sammy coming
18:37
out, you being canned? Whatever. Listen,
18:39
I got three words for you.
18:41
Kill me now? All inclusive... Vacation.
18:43
Oh, please don't tell me this
18:45
has something to do with your
18:48
investment opportunity. Gentlemen, a little investment
18:50
opportunity has fallen into my lap.
18:52
And there it is. I would
18:54
like the two of you to
18:56
join me on a Sun-filled getaway
18:59
too. Yes. The answer is yes.
19:01
Oh, sorry, go on. Columbia. Yes.
19:03
Columbia? Are you insane? No, no,
19:05
no, no. Count me out. Fuck,
19:07
you mean you're out. Charlie like
19:10
it's common knowledge. Counts on his
19:12
fingers. Uh, okay, let's see. Uh,
19:14
kidnapping. Drug cartels. Salted pork. Pick
19:16
one. The only people who go
19:19
to Columbia are drug meals and
19:21
guys with hairy chest named Rico.
19:23
Okay, first off, racist. Secondly, you
19:25
just described half the Bay Area.
19:27
Sam, God's in agreement. Charlie looks
19:30
back in the direction of the
19:32
kitchen in Crooks and I at
19:34
Marcus. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
19:36
This wouldn't have anything to do
19:38
with your backer by chance. Marcus
19:41
waves off the thought. He whips
19:43
out a pamphlet and hands it
19:45
to Charlie. Ah, forget him. Check
19:47
the sound. Graceo, better deep dough.
19:50
Oh, please tell me you did
19:52
not buy a vacation resort. Better.
19:54
I bought it. Okay, well, not
19:56
yet, but my buddy Manny's making
19:58
us an incredible deal. Marcus, you
20:01
are insane, and I have prison
20:03
man love for you. Well, oh,
20:05
I'm sorry. Did you just say
20:07
us? It's the deal of lifetime.
20:09
Why wouldn't I want to cut
20:12
my best friends in? Because I
20:14
thought we agreed you were going
20:16
to run these kind of things
20:18
by me from now on. I
20:20
am, right now. We're taking five
20:23
glorious days of coma-inducing fun in
20:25
the Caribbean sun. Columbia is not
20:27
in the Caribbean! Whatever comments I'd
20:29
say to you. Marcus, you do
20:32
not know the first thing about
20:34
running a resort. So we hire
20:36
people to run it for us.
20:38
You keep using this word us.
20:40
Right, look, if it wasn't for
20:43
me, all you'd ever do is
20:45
stay home, play with your dolls
20:47
and cry over your failed marriage.
20:49
They are reenactment figurines. Figure, you
20:51
need this. It's time to get
20:54
back on the horror! with an
20:56
ass. Flurrell, exactly. Would you rather
20:58
be an action figure instead of
21:00
play with him? Charlie considers this
21:02
before coming to his senses. No,
21:05
no, no. I can't just up
21:07
and run off to Columbia. I've
21:09
got responsibilities. Charlie picks up the
21:11
empties and walks off. The old
21:14
Charlie would have jumped at a
21:16
chance like this. Well, let me
21:18
know if you see him. He's
21:20
got some explaining to do. Off
21:22
Sam and Marcus watching him watching
21:25
him go. Cut to exterior Audrey's
21:27
House Day. Charlie parks his car
21:29
and steps out, shocked by what
21:31
he sees in the driveway. Ben,
21:33
in full goalie gear, is duct-taped
21:36
to a hockey net like a
21:38
drill dummy, while Carla takes slap
21:40
shots. When Ball hits Ben in
21:42
the chest, Ben winces. Dad! Benny,
21:45
what the hell is this? Carla
21:47
turns to see Charlie approach. Oh,
21:49
hate shock, still cruising around in
21:51
that, oh, vova, I see. Carla,
21:53
why the hell is my son
21:56
tied up? Well, little guy wanted
21:58
to learn how to man up
22:00
and take a slap-up and take
22:02
a slap-up and take a slap-up
22:04
and take a slap-up and take
22:07
a-up and take a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a- You hear
22:09
someone have to teach him. Come
22:11
on, dad. Carla offers Charlie the
22:13
stick expecting him to back down.
22:15
No, no, no. This ends now.
22:18
Ah, don't be such a milk,
22:20
thought Charlie. Do it for the
22:22
kid. Charlie can feel Ben's eyes
22:24
on him. He grabs the stick,
22:27
feels the balance of it in
22:29
his hands, he winds up for
22:31
the shot. Carla, next time an
22:33
eight-year-old tells you to tie him
22:35
up. Charlie goes to release his
22:38
third shot. Audrey comes out of
22:40
the house. Charlie, what the... Are
22:42
you insane? The ball flies and
22:44
hits Ben square in the groin.
22:46
He grunts. He grunts and falls
22:49
forward with the net falling on
22:51
top of him. Hey Kevin, have
22:53
you ever been hitting the balls
22:55
before? He
22:58
grunts and falls forward with the
23:00
net falling on top of him.
23:03
Charlie drops the stick. They rush
23:05
to Ben. Jesus Charlie, he's just
23:07
a kid. Ben, sweetie. Maybe, are
23:10
you all right? Oh, Benny, I
23:12
am so sorry. Audrey rips through
23:14
the tape. Mom, did you, did
23:16
you see it? I took it
23:19
in the pills like, like a
23:21
jamp. What the hell were you
23:23
thinking? Charlie is flummoxed. Really responsible,
23:25
Chuck? You could have seriously hurt
23:28
the boy. Charlie's seeds, but decides
23:30
not to turn it into a
23:32
thing. I'm sorry, buddy. Are you
23:34
all right? Yeah, all right. Double
23:37
bags, just like Carla taught me.
23:39
You want to see? Better check
23:41
his coin purse, just in case.
23:43
Charlie throws Carla look. What are
23:46
you doing here, anyway? Well, I
23:48
can't buy to tell Ben I
23:50
won't be able to take him
23:52
to the Civil War reenactment this
23:55
weekend. So first you almost kill
23:57
our son and now you're bailing
23:59
on him. That's pretty low even
24:02
for you. Charlie takes a knee.
24:04
Ben doesn't want to show he's
24:06
really not... all that disappointed. No,
24:08
that's okay. I understand. I mean,
24:11
since it's for work. Well, yeah,
24:13
the pressure's on it. But look,
24:15
I'll make it up to you.
24:17
All right, bud. So, I mean,
24:20
is it okay, then, if Carla
24:22
Chaparones a camping trip with the
24:24
other dads from school? This one
24:26
cuts deep, but Charlie concedes for
24:29
Ben's sake. The camping trip. You
24:31
forgot? Yeah, absolutely. I just want
24:33
you to have fun. Just don't
24:35
let her tie it any trees.
24:38
Ben nods and they hug before
24:40
Charlie heads back to his car.
24:42
Love you dad. Off to another
24:44
exciting a content convention, Chuck? She
24:47
cackles. Charlie walks off set to
24:49
blow. Voices swirl in his head.
24:51
There are many words to describe
24:54
you, but really? Would you rather
24:56
be an action figure instead of
24:58
play with him? Bang! Charlie turns
25:00
back and walks right up to
25:03
Carla. Projecting all the swagger and
25:05
man in cargo pants can muster.
25:07
Matter of fact, Carla, I am
25:09
headed to a little country called
25:12
Colombia. Only one of the deadliest
25:14
places on earth. Jungle's so dense,
25:16
even the trees will kill you.
25:18
Twenty-foot anaconda ready to swallow you
25:21
up. Ben's mouth drops. This is
25:23
the coolest thing ever. A cesspool
25:25
of cutthroat guerrillas and drug pushers
25:27
armed to the teeth with automatic
25:30
weapons looking to rip out your
25:32
tongue and use it for its
25:34
stamplicker. That's where I'm going. And
25:36
if you ever time I get
25:39
up again, I will come back
25:41
and show you how it's done.
25:43
We clear? Carl. Carl is stunned.
25:45
Charlie puts his shades back on,
25:48
surprised with himself. He walks back
25:50
to his car. Audrey catches up
25:52
with him. Hey, hey, Charlie, um,
25:55
listen, about career date. Don't mention
25:57
it. You know, I kind of
25:59
felt bad for Carla. So awkward.
26:01
She smiles. There's still some sweet...
26:04
left between them. So Columbia, really?
26:06
Well, research my new book. It's
26:08
a thriller. Audrey is impressed. She
26:10
tries to hide a smile and
26:13
laugh. What? It's just for a
26:15
second there. I thought about when
26:17
we first met and how excited
26:19
you were to write the great
26:22
American novel. Maybe it's time to
26:24
change lanes. Charlie smiles turns to
26:26
walk to his car. Charlie
26:29
looks back. Check your blind
26:31
spot, okay? Charlie winks and
26:33
turns. His confidence descends into
26:35
dread. Prelapse, screaming jet turbines
26:37
take us to exterior Katahemia
26:39
Airport Runway Day, establishing. The
26:41
plane screeches down onto a
26:43
heat-blurt tarmac. Over traditional kumbiam
26:46
music. Exterior, Katahmia Airport Arrivals
26:48
Exit Day. Slo-mo. Marcus swaggers
26:50
like Don Johnson. Hair-slicked back.
26:52
Sam sporting a neckerchief struts
26:54
like a peacock. Charlie Straggles,
26:56
covered in sweat, looking green.
26:58
The front of the airport
27:00
fossils with fruit vendors, beggars,
27:02
and touts pushing taxis and
27:04
brothels. Hmm, not the village
27:07
people I was hoping for.
27:09
Through a camera mat from
27:11
a distance. The guys are
27:13
oblivious, they are being photographed.
27:15
Quick, photo of Marcus. Keep
27:17
your eyes peeled man, he
27:19
said there'd be a driver.
27:21
Click, photo of Sam. I
27:23
need a fanta. Anyone else?
27:25
Click, photo of Charlie. How
27:28
about a tennis shot? Shots.
27:30
Yeah, now you're thinking. All
27:32
right, let me see if
27:34
I can find our ride.
27:36
Do bring the car around,
27:38
Marcus. There's a good man.
27:40
Marcus flips on the bird
27:42
as he walks off. Exterior
27:44
streets of Cartaglia continuous. A
27:46
couple big sweaty men standing
27:49
around an old van sneaker
27:51
at Marcus's approach. I'm looking
27:53
for a car that's supposed
27:55
to take me to... Takes
27:57
out brochure? Creso Pertido. Bring
27:59
any bells? Excuse you as
28:01
this. Is there a puta,
28:03
kira pariso? They all laugh.
28:05
Marcus, not getting the joke,
28:07
laughs along. Sure, we take
28:10
to there, Marika. The second
28:12
trucker reaches behind his back
28:14
for a pistol. Excellent, excellent.
28:16
Did a senior Rojas send
28:18
you? See? Many Rojas, he
28:20
said he'd send a car,
28:22
but I guess... Did you
28:24
just say Manolo Rojas? Oh
28:26
great! So you do no
28:29
Manny? The truckers get in
28:31
their truck and apologetically drive
28:33
off. Better than so? Wait,
28:35
wait, wait on you guys!
28:37
Guys! Exterior streaks of Cartagnea,
28:39
convenience stand, continuous. Charlie glumly
28:41
watches a few street kids
28:43
playing soccer while he waits.
28:45
The ball rolls over Charlie's
28:47
way. He stops it and
28:50
passes it back to a
28:52
kid. The kid arcs the
28:54
ball back to catch in
28:56
the nape of his neck.
28:58
Charlie nods, suitably impressed. The
29:00
kid smiles and rubs his
29:02
index finger and thumb together.
29:04
All right, kid. That's worth
29:06
a pay so. Charlie takes
29:08
out his Velcro wallet. The
29:11
kid kicks the ball right
29:13
at Charlie's nose. The kid
29:15
grabs it and takes off.
29:17
He gets about 10 feet
29:19
when he's yanked back hard
29:21
seconds before a speeding truck
29:23
almost hits him. Charlie comes
29:25
running to find Lucia. A
29:27
stunning Colombian woman, 34, dressed
29:29
like a female Indiana Jones
29:32
with no-nonsense attitude. The police
29:34
badge dangles from her neck.
29:36
Charlie, still seeing stars, looks
29:38
up and gets a glimpse
29:40
of her. Backlit by the
29:42
sun. Looking like an angel.
29:44
That was amazing. The kid
29:46
unwillingly hands her the wallet.
29:48
She lets him go and
29:50
he runs off. Lucia opens
29:53
it and checks Charlie's ID.
29:55
Charlie Blicker, if you insist
29:57
on being a target, at
29:59
least be a moving one,
30:01
huh? Thanks, I'll remember that.
30:03
Marcus and Sam come running
30:05
up to them. Lucia eyes,
30:07
them all, tosses back the
30:09
wallet. Colombia can be a
30:12
dangerous place, Charlie Blicker. Be
30:14
more careful? She walks off.
30:16
But what's your name? Can
30:18
I call you? End of
30:20
Swenios. What a beautiful name.
30:22
In your dreams, Charlie. Sam
30:24
shakes his head and leaves
30:26
Charlie staring off smitten. Exterior,
30:28
Catahania Street's day. We follow
30:30
the street kid as he
30:33
walks past a man, 40s,
30:35
gobbling a hamburger at a
30:37
curbside cantina. The man sticks
30:39
out his foot and blocks
30:41
the kid. This is Agent
30:43
Noles with a DEA. A
30:45
Miami vice throwback with permice
30:47
double. Where's the wallet? Some
30:49
lady who just taught me.
30:51
The kid tries to grab
30:54
a fry. Noles pulls pulls
30:56
them away. This guy. Americano?
30:58
C. C. C. And the
31:00
woman who stopped you, did
31:02
they know each other? No,
31:04
me know, thinks so. She
31:06
police a plate of fries
31:08
back with 2,000 pesos under
31:10
it. The kid grabs it
31:12
all and takes off. A
31:15
thin man on a straw
31:17
hat comes out of the
31:19
cantina. The camera slung around
31:21
his neck. This is Agent
31:23
Martina's 40's. Anything useful? More
31:25
torista's in search of Manny
31:27
Rojas. Exterior, Catania Airport Day.
31:29
An El Dorado convertible pulls
31:31
up in front of the
31:33
guys. Ernie, a skinny kid,
31:36
20s, and cheap sunglasses, flashes
31:38
a wide grin. Oh, like
31:40
when you guys done, Marcus?
31:42
Oh, yeah, Marcus, Marcus is
31:44
my first name. This is
31:46
Charlie, and that's Sam. Oh,
31:48
mocho, Gustav, I, and Ernesto,
31:50
your driver. Call me? Ernie,
31:52
Ernie, pop the trunk, hops
31:55
out and opens the doors,
31:57
and opens the doors, and
31:59
opens the doors, the doors,
32:01
How would I tell you?
32:03
First class all the way.
32:05
I'd hate to see last
32:07
class. Ernie grabs their bags
32:09
and throws them in the
32:11
trunk. Okay, Hermanos, better life
32:13
or waste you. As Charlie
32:16
gets in, he spots Lucia
32:18
across the street. Hey Charlie,
32:20
isn't that your dream girl?
32:22
Oh yeah, what did she
32:24
say her name was? It
32:26
was something exotic sounding. And
32:28
to swine you, something like
32:30
that. Ernie laughs when they
32:32
pull out and drive off.
32:34
In your dreams, Charlie, in
32:37
your dreams. Exterior Colombian countryside
32:39
driving day. Ernie switches on
32:41
some regga-tone music as the
32:43
guys take in the colorful
32:45
Colombian cityscape. So is Colombia's
32:47
dangerous as everyone says it
32:49
is? No, no, no. It's
32:51
much safer these past 10
32:53
years. Don Pablo left us.
32:55
Don Pablo. What was he
32:58
like your president or something?
33:00
They all look back at
33:02
him. Are you kidding? Escobar,
33:04
you tip. I knew that.
33:06
Who's Pablo Escobar? They all
33:08
look at Sam like he's
33:10
got nipples for eyes. Only
33:12
the richest, most notorious drug
33:14
lord in history. Ernie's megawatt
33:16
smile is momentarily replaced by
33:19
a haunted expression. Mira, escuche.
33:21
Some say the Patron was
33:23
the cancer of Colombia. Many
33:25
call him the patron saint
33:27
of pain and the warning
33:29
of agony. Rumors persist that
33:31
he never died and waits
33:33
in the shadows so that
33:35
one day he may rise
33:37
again. He crosses himself. Sam
33:40
is still confused. Okay, so
33:42
not your president. Finka Hideaway

34:13
he? Rudy, a henchman, comes
34:15
out to greet her smiling

nervously. Don't give me any
34:20
of that shit. Where the
34:22
hell is my husband? Oh,
34:24
Don Paolo. He is in

34:36
to such things. Smack! Maria
34:38

me! Pablo's eyes go wide.
35:14
Uh-oh. He takes the cigar
35:16
out of his mouth, chucks
35:18
it out an open window,
35:20
and waves his hand to
35:23
clear up the smoke. Mejeda,

The door pushes open, and
35:31
walks Maria, fit to be
35:33
tied. Maria, me Angel, you're
35:35
back. What am I going
35:37
to say? What am I
35:39
going to say? What am
35:42
I going to say? I
35:44
have no idea what you
35:46
are going to say. Then
35:48
why do you roll your

eyes? What has gotten you

36:15
pay attention? A better question
36:17
is, why would I bet
36:19
man, this is the fucking
36:21
soup? He grimaces, the word
36:24
stuck in his throat. Then...
36:26
Okay, fine. It was me,
36:28
I did it. But, Carida,
36:30
I need to see my
36:32
animals. Next to you, they
36:34
are my everything. What about
36:36
your children? What about them?

36:40
have been dead and you
36:42
come out to feed the

fucking animals. Yota. Maria, my
36:47
hippos, my rhino, they're out
36:49
there in the wild, cold
36:51
and alone, they need me.
36:53
I swear if anything would
36:55
happen to them. Pablo, Pablo,
36:57
who is the head of
36:59
this family now? He waffles,
37:01
technically on paper. Who? You
37:03
are correct, Joe, I am
37:06
the one. Who's wearing lost
37:08
pants? I control the production
37:10
and the distribution. You control
37:12
the grilled cheese. Got it?
37:14
Maria storms out of the

the doors to an enormous room.
38:03
The guys are dumbstruck. The luxurious
38:05
suite is decked out in a
38:07
tropical motif with marble floors and
38:09
gold fixtures. It screams money. Do
38:12
you like it, huh? Signor Rojas
38:14
forgets he cannot be here to
38:16
greet you personally, but he has
38:18
instructed me to extend every courtesy.
38:21
His house is your house. Hey,
38:23
me kasasu kas. I just got
38:25
that. The guys dropped their bags.
38:28
Marcus pulls out a five for
38:30
Ernie. Oh, please. I will consider
38:32
it in no fence. Marcus pushes
38:34
it back into Ernie's pocket. Winks.
38:37
Okay, now, if you've got a
38:39
yellow, excuse me, I must, uh,
38:41
confer with the chef about dinner.
38:44
Ernie turns, pulls out the dirty
38:46
bill like it's a used tissue.
38:48
Now this is living. Screw living.
38:50
This is heaven. Charlie opens the
38:53
door to an adjoining identical suite.
38:55
Check it out! A joining room!
38:57
You see? I told you guys,
38:59
Manny is the real deal. Yeah,
39:02
well, I will reserve judgment. Oh,
39:04
crazy shit is gonna go down.
39:06
I can feel it. Speaking of,
39:09
Sammy needs to drop a doble.
39:11
So I'm off to find the

there. I'm on week. Just let
39:31
me finish. Just let me finish.
39:34
All right. Oh, God. Oh, uh.
39:36
Time to wing Chung, Colombian-style puppy?
39:38
Huh? What do you think? I
39:40
think you're going to catch Swan
39:43
Herbie. About buying the place, man.
39:45
I mean, you're the investment guru.
39:47
Okay, Marcus, we've been here less
39:50
than an hour. Okay, I get,
39:52
you wanted a free... and everything,
39:54
but you're not seriously considering buying
39:56
this place, are you? Admit it.
39:59
You don't think I have the
40:01
business smarts to pull this off,
40:03
do you? Okay, look, it's not
40:05
like running a nightclub. The hospitality
40:08
industry is a major commitment and
40:10
no offense. Sam walks back in
40:12
fanning himself. You should buy this
40:15
place for the bidet alone. It's
40:17
liberating. Charlie doesn't think I'm smart
40:19
enough to run a resort. Because
40:21
you're not. But you could pay
40:24
someone to be smart enough like
40:26
you do for the bar. Marcus
40:28
is satisfied with that. Okay,
40:30
look, putting aside the monumental
40:32
risk factor, the financing, the
40:34
liability, do you even know
40:36
what's around here? Or anything at
40:38
all about this country for that
40:40
matter? It's called due diligence. Marcus
40:43
grabs three beers from the mini
40:45
bar and tosses him out. Sam
40:47
screams completely missing the bottle. It
40:50
smashes through a window. Marcus pulls
40:52
out another. I thought you might
40:54
say that. which is why I
40:56
arranged for us to go on

were the whole reason we

told we were going to a day

reaches into a pouch and

blows a handful of cocaine

a very wet old man's
42:39
sneeze right in Marcus's face.
42:41
Do, seriously? Charlie wipes his
42:43
nose, looks around for something
42:45
to wipe his hand on,
42:47
but there's nothing, so we
42:50
wipes it on Sam. On

clay bowl and blows some

cigar smoke into it, letting

the fumes waft over him.

He takes a sip and
43:02
passes it to Marcus and
43:04
passes it to Marcus and

He drinks and passes the

bowl to Charlie. Feeling anything?

Sam and Marcus exchange looks
43:26

let you talk me into

giant gulp. Everyone watches him.

comes across his face. Uh,

appeal of these things. Whose
48:10
idea was it to wear
48:13
suits in the middle of

48:17
I thought it'd be nice
48:20
to class things up. Plus
48:22
we look super dupe. Marcus
48:25
practices his quick draw. It's
48:27
because we are dopes. Shouldn't
48:30
we at leave to have

48:35
something? Oh my God, will
48:37
you quit worrying? These guys

are professionals. Ernie and his

49:19
pokes his head into the
49:22
brush. The beast tears out
49:24
of the forest. It's definitely
49:27
not a cow, but a
49:29
charging four-ton rhinoceros. The rhino
49:32
butts loose. Sends in flying.
49:34
Now it's headed straight towards
49:37
the guys. Yeah, and I
49:39
could really run. Run, you
49:41
guys run! The rhino butts
49:44
are out of the way.

Salmon Marcus die for cover.

Charlie. It's frozen. Time slows.
49:51
His heart pounds like a

49:56
Charlie takes a deep breath,
49:59
grips the shaft, slides his
50:01
finger to the trigger, and
50:04
blam-o! The rhino skits to
50:06
a stop barely a few
50:09
feet away. Dead. The shot
50:11
echoes through the trees. Everyone
50:14
is speechless. A long beat.
50:16
Until they erupt. Oh my
50:19
fucking God! That was insane!
50:21
Ernie slowly takes the gun
50:23
out of Charlie's hand. What
50:26
just happened? Charlie! You saved
50:28
us! Oh, okay then. Charlie
50:31
faints and falls to the
50:33
ground. Marcus rushes to his
50:36
side and slaps Charlie to
50:38
wake him up. Charlie awakens
50:41
and slaps him back. The
50:43
hell! Devolves into a early
50:46
slap fight. Okay, you're kidding.
50:48
All right, this don't go!
50:51
You screw you! You! Just
50:53
out! Just out! Oh! You!
50:56
You! That guy! You put
50:58
that down! Side out! I
51:00
could be wrong, but this
51:03
doesn't look like a cow.
51:05
They turn their attention to
51:08
Ernie approaching the dead beast.
51:10
On Ernie. He cocks his
51:13
pistol and carefully approaches the
51:15
carcass. That's because it's not
51:18
a cow. He showed a
51:20
fucking rhinoceros! Oh, that is
51:23
so bawler! All three move
51:25
in for a closer look.
51:28
Ernie checks his head and
51:30
confirms it. One clean shot,
51:33
right between the eyes. Oh,
51:35
poor little guy. Ernie notices
51:38
a tag on the rhinozier
51:40
and stumbles back, does the
51:42
sign of the cross. Santa
