Just getting used to, Gringo ... Mr. Wayne.
Mr. Montgomery, Cathleen Powers,
American consul.
Have a seat.

You could say that.
When will I get out of here?
You must know that we will not
to interfere in their judicial system.
A. I just want to make sure that your
Human rights are not abused.
B. I can also help you
to contact your family.
C. I can help you get a
English-speaking lawyer.
- Why do I need a lawyer?
- Drug possession is a serious offense.
Drug Possession ...? I'm here
that my visa expired.
I do not have time for a few games.
You resisted and Gutierrez showed
me your bag with a large amount of cocaine.
No, I'm not
drug dealer, I'm a teacher.
- Good morning, students.
- Good morning, Mr. Wayne.
What's in your bag?
I would surf at four o'clock.
It's just my stuff.
One more. What's in your bag?
Shorts, a t-shirt and flip-flops.
I see.
Wait here.
I'm not a drug dealer.
They have already violated my
human rights.
They took me and where
Gutierrez did this.
- This is not wise.
- Lower your voice.
Sorry.
- They are animals.
- You tried to escape and resisted.
It is not to be violated
someone's rights.
I was scared and did not know
what would happen.
- Should I contact your family.
- No!
All right. Do what you want.
I advise you to get one
attorney as soon as possible.
Why do not you call your parents?
Want to jail for 20 years?
- Take me to judge now.
- A judge?
You do not come to some courtroom
until I give my approval.
Colonel Ramos, you know, it's my job
- Make sure you treat
American citizens well.
- I am fully aware of it.
- Good, because our top priority ...
I can assure you-
- I will not let anything
things happen under my command.
Then you will not mind if I
do some routine checks every now and then?
- Do what you must do.
- That we will do.

- No, I have not.
Fuck off.
- Walter.
- What happened?
- They have planted drugs in my bag.
- I told you that they want your money.
- Are not all Americans are rich?
- Not me.
- Pay them only.
- No, I do not.
It's only money.
How do you think I come out of here?
There is no room for pride.
Gardo, in addition to teachers' strike-
- Is the most important issue right now
the Colombian border.
Colombian mafia pay people
taking cocaine paste over the border.
Some spend money and
get murdered when they come back.
- Do you have any Colombian prisoners?
- Not that I know.
I am convinced that it will
to become better-
- After the elections when we get
a civilian government again.
As I said, this is all positive
to your movement.
Charo misses his family.
It is difficult for her to stay in Lima.
You may be able to return to Tacna
and monitor the southern border.
- It's my dream, General.
- We are ready.
Stay tuned.
You have big problems.
Maybe you can help me.
We have a state prisoner here as you
may know, Nicaragua.
I feel the prick.
I share the bed with him.
We took him in Cusco. He claims he is
from Nicaragua. We do not believe him.
- Check if you can learn something.
- Why?
Do not you want here?
- I am acquitted.
- Congratulations.
Be strong. Do not let them win.
Can you call someone from me?
Okay, tell her ... No.
Call this guy.
Just tell me where I am.
Best of luck.
- Now he is free.
- Free?
This is a charade, gringo.
What is the difference? See how
satisfaction with the daily tasks.
There is always someone who has control
over them wherever they are.
Do you understand, gringo?
Nice to see you again, Mr. Montgomery.
How's the foot?
- What about my case?
- This is Rafael Homo.
A lawyer qualified lawyer.
He works for the embassy.
- How are you, Wayne?
- He has helped other Americans.
I saw that you do not
been in some trial yet.
- It is lucky for you there.
- It is usual when the scent of money.
There are many here who has spent
In your case, we will be able to get
you home in no time.
What does that mean?
$ 10,000 to begin with.
It is included in my course fees.
Is there anything you can do for me?
Where do I get $ 10,000 from?
Your family?
As you wish. I've done my job.
I'll wait outside.
Wayne, you have to be smart now.
I do not call my dad.
In the United States, you are innocent
they prove otherwise.
Here is the Napoleonic Code.
You know what that means?
You are guilty until
you can prove otherwise.
I am innocent, sir.
Let there be no trial.
It's a game.
It is much better with a settlement.
Think about it.
Namaste!
Girls.
Why have they sent me here with you?
With me? I do not know.
Tell it to me, you.
You're a fucking liar.
- I think it is you that is a fake.
- What do Ramos?
He's crazy. I do not know.
Where are you from?
- Where are you from?
- What's my name, sissy?
N-I-C-A-R-A-G-U-A.
That's right, I forgot.
I've been there.
I was there ... -77.
That was before the revolution.
Do you know the plaza Cinco deAbril
in Managua?
- Yes, and?
- I met a girl there.
She was absolutely incredible.
Which women.
- Do you know about the fountain?
- Yes, yes.
There is no plaza Cinco deAbril.
Where are you from anyway?
I'm from Nicaragua.
You are not one of us.
Get out of here.
Comrade, Luna, you lose control?
He's just pissed that
He has to sleep next to me.
Thank you for helping me.
I'm so hungry.
- He will give again.
- I do not believe in revenge.
- I do. Do you believe in eating?
- Yes, I do.
- What is your name?
- My name is York.
I called Jorge.
Do not have a krishna-name?
What is it?
- Sachinandana.
- Sachinandana
Jorge.
- Do not like fish?
- I am a vegetarian.
- Do you want my potatoes?
- Thanks, but I do not eat as much.
- Why are you here?
- I had no identification documents on me.
It's sick.
You could die here because of it.
If you die when you say the name of God
so relieved it and end up in nirvana.
Hope they have better food there.
I want to show you a secret.
Oh my God. It's unbelievable.
- Where did you get all the seeds come from?
- I had them with me when I was arrested.
This is my offering to Krishna.
That's Atuki.
I have named all according to their nature.
- That's Bala.

Yes.
My mother was an opera singer.
When the prisoners screaming in the night allowed
I believe it is the mother who sings arias.

Until gardens returns.

Gringo, on with the shoes.
Come Nicaragua.
Up to you!

- There he is.
Let go of me!
- Let go of me!
- Come on!
You bastard, drop me!
You stand in line, gringo.
Come here, Hare Krishna.
- Come here. I'll teach you something. Okay?
- Okay.
Stand there. Are you ready?
What are you doing?
- I'll teach you to wrestle.
- I do not.
I do not want.
I know. Never mind.
- So here, okay?
- Okay.
Now it's your turn.
- I do not.
- Come on.
For wimpy. One more.
Stand here.
So there. Come on.
Come on!
You've made it.
Up, up, up. Then down the middle.
Tick.
All the way down. Touch, touch, touch.
Wayne is in prison ...
for drugs.
- Impossible, Chino.
- A guy who muckat called me.
- What kind of a guy?
- He said his name was Walter.
- Want to try?
- I only fuck women.
What is it with you?
Are you ashamed of your country?
- Does your mom left you?
- Shut up!
- Fuck you!
- Shut up!
You are a fake.
There you are.
Mi patita Cornejo and I
have a discussion.
He claims that no one can be
under water for more than two minutes.
Some can, I mean.
For example, some young,
someone who likes water.
A surfer, someone like you.
I think someone like you can be
in water for more than two minutes.
- You can not do that. It's torture.
- Where you're wrong.
It's just a friendly bet.
I'm counting on you. You are
like a fish. It will be fun for you.
- One, two, three ...
- It's not you count, you idiot.
It is expected this.
A ... two ...
Three ... ...
Wayne, I'm sorry. We must
do it. Do not blame me.
Cornejo did not count right.
Okay ...
A ... two ...
Three ... ...
- I have money.
- Where?
- In my apartment.
- Come on.
- Where's the money?
- In the top drawer.
That's it?
- You took us all the way here for $ 186?
- That's all I have.
- Where are you taking him?
- We bring him back.
- From where?
- A small drive.
In my office.
- Have I given my permission?
- This is my case, Ramos.
Colonel Ramos. I have already
said gringo is my responsibility.
I do not want to perform
your dirty work under my command.
Colonel, this guy can
be a gold mine for us.
Do not say "us".
I have nothing in common with you.
Ramos.
Sad.
- Hello.
- We will visit Wayne Montgomery.
ID documents.
- How do you know him?
- We are his friends. How is he?
- He does not want to cooperate.
- What do you mean?
He needs a lawyer.
Do you know where he comes from?
- Yes, from California, Beverly Hills.
- Where all the movie stars live.
- I guess.
- Can we see him?
There is an ongoing process. You have to put
me in touch with his family.
It is important, very important.
- Can I see him?
- Of course.
- What is wrong with this country?
- That is why we need revolution.
It was just a big party
for me before.
I did not know it was
so much suffering here.
We are strong - an ancient culture.
Before the conquistadors arrived
we were already a great civilization-
-With architecture and culture.
If you hear quechuasprket or
dancing torril in Sapallanga-
-Do you understand the power of our culture.
People on the streets of Lima
fought for justice.
In a way, I did it too.
I will not let them win.
- Piojos.
- What is it?
- They live in your hair.
- Lice.
You have lice.
You must have gotten them from Nicaragua.
Thanks for telling me that.
- Nicaragua, where does he come from?
- He is from Colombia.
- How do you know?
- I am familiar with the accent.
- Are you going to brush my teeth?
- No, three razor blades.
It's the only way.
Either that, or a monkey.
- Come on, then.
- Okay?
You get a nice Hare Krishna.
It's funny. The hair is
always been my trademark.
It was a symbol of my freedom.
Do they have long hair where you come from?
No. My schoolmates
always had perfect hair.
Dad always said I looked like
a bum. I actually liked it.
He said I could never
operate his business with the hair.
Hare Krishna Hare Krishna
Krishna Krishna Hare Hare.
Hare Rama Hare Rama
Rama Rama Hare Hare.
Let's get started.
- Do you have something for me.
- Here is his address.
His phone number?
I ask him if I
get to meet him.
All right.
- Honey.
- You can not touch each other.
Honey, I'm here. Look at me.
Honey, look at me.
I need you out there.
They are crazy here. They try to break down
me and they are trying to frame me.
I'm not going to give me.
I'm out of here.
I need your parents
telephone number. Please, give me that.
- Wayne, look at me.
- I will not pay them.
Eden is out.
Come on.
I trust you.

- No.
- Hot?
- No.
This is the right one.
No.
This is our rock.
It is made for us.
Why rvknullar you fags
not each other instead?
Nicaragua, trying to wrestle against Jorge.
It's a girl.
I am a man.
That girl ...
can beat you.
Wrestling, wrestling, wrestling ...
No, no, no.
It's cool. You will win.
Take it easy, Colombia.
- What have the pigs do?
- They have broken my ribs.
Be careful, Israel.
You stand in line.
Etta what they did to him.
- Aurelio, what do they know?
- Nothing.
- What did you tell them?
- They wanted to know if we were terrorists.
Satan police. They killed a guy.
He was already unconscious and the
continued to beat him.
We are not even allowed to die with dignity.
Comrade Luna, are you ready to
die for your beliefs?
I'm willing to die for Peru.
It is not only Peru's struggle.
It is international.
Juan, follow me.
Killer, killer, killer ...
Killer, killer, killer ...
Murderer, murderer, murderer ... / i
- Silence!
- You have tortured one of our comrades.
- That we will not tolerate.
- Aurelio is a terrorist.
You have misunderstood
my tolerance with weakness.
- We will not tolerate torture.
- There is an end to political meetings.
No more songs, no wrestling.
This is a prison.
Make sure the paint
of their propaganda.
You're coming with me.
- He's a drug dealer.
- How did you find out?
He is from Colombia. Everybody knows that.
Let me out now.
- I'll call the Colombian consulate.
- That was our agreement.
Just because you are American sits
you quietly among the political prisoners.
Drug dealers ports
in Lurigancho for life.
Quiet? The bastard
tried to drown me in the sea.
- What do you say?
- They took me to La Punta.
They tortured me until I get them
my money. $ 186 saved me.
- Do you write in that it happened?
- All prisoners tortured you, then?
They are criminals that we are trying to get
information from the country's best.
- Do you write in it?
- Yes.
Then I can get away from Gutierrez
your case and get you out of here.
The game is over.
You can not bluff more.
They know who you are and
you smuggle dope.
They have called the Consul. Then go
the next bus to Bogota.
- Ramos will help me here.
- I am happy for you.
Thank you.
Thank you made me fight
Nicaragua. I feel reborn.
- Colonel, you wanted to see me.
- Stand up.
I knew that it was only
a matter of time.
I have gringons signature that you
tortured him and stole his money.
The report will be on
General Gardena's desk in the cow.
- And you believe him?
- I have written a report ...
... As you skate with you to
your superiors on the PIP.
You can not do that.
I've already done.
You are exhausted.
What happened, Krishna?
You and you, paint the wall.
Hurry up!
My son.
My son.
We must endure hardship ...
... Like education, for God
makes us his sons.
Which father's mother is not her son.
- My son, I am here to save you.
- No.
My son, I'm hereto save you.
God has sent me to
save the world.
God has sent me to
destroy the world.
The world is depraved-
-Degenerate and full of sin.
I will destroy the world
to create it again.
I need twelve apostles.
Sex at my right hand
and six on my left side.
We will kill ... devils.
All of them.
- Will you be my apostle?
- Yes.
- What is your name?
- Wayne Montgomery.
No, from now on
called you Peter.
You, Peter, are cliff
I build my church on.
Seor, Hare Krishna is dead.
Nicaragua is in the hospital
and gringo in the basement.
- Is everything under control?
- Did not you hear what I said?
- Is the third floor under control?
- Yes.
Stop here. The Colonel
talking with General Cardenas.
- Do not go into his office.
- I understand.
Peter, I command you
opening the door.
- I can not. I have no key.
- You get one minute.
Otherwise, I will send you to hell.
No, please.
Open the door!
Open the door! Open the door!
I am Jesus Christ! I
and light path. Open the door!
Sixty.
Fifty-five, fifty-six, fifty-seven.
Peter, I send you to hell!
Hurry up.
Hell!
Out with you. Come on out!
Mr. Beverly Hills.
I know who you are.
I tried to help you,
but look what you've done.
I have a phone and
a telephone number.
- How do we do.
- Fuck you!
- Lieutenant, Ramos is dead.
- We must do something.
I'll be back.
People's war.
People's war!
- Help me.
- No, seor.
- I do not get involved.
- Grab his legs.
We can get jail for life.
Do you know how much the prisoners hate us?
Grab his legs!
Idiot, help me!
Fucking idiot.
Jesus! Wake up!
Jesus, the key is in the lock.

Turn around, you pig.
Disciples, now doomsday here.
Do not worry, comrades.
The battle has just begun.
Come on!
Help me, please.
Stop!
Wayne Montgomery?
Seor, Wayne Montgomery?
I will never know
why so many had to die.
I can only hope that Jorge died
with the name of God on the lips.
Maybe Jorge spread seeds on the wind
and bloom up somewhere else.
After the free elections that reinstated
civil rights in Peru.
In March 1081 Wayne received an apology from
the new democratic government.
People always ask why I
did not pay them.
It was about principles? Maybe.
Maybe I'm just stubborn.
Wayne is still today a teacher.
