Youngest and the most unlikely.
All we know about him

Yeah.
He's dead, baby.
We're never going home.
I'm sorry.
Come here.
(SOBS)
(BREATHES HEAVILY)
We're gonna be OK.
There's something here for us,
on this land.
I can feel it.
I've got an idea.
Just trust me.

ROBERT TEPPER: No Easy Way Out ♪
You alright?
(BALL THWACKS)
Can't believe I killed someone.
He was just doing his job.
We'll make it right, Cind.
(PANTING)
(SPEAKS SPANISH)
Excuse me, Senor?
Ernesto right?
Si.
Speak English?
Hmm.
You need something?
I'm just gonna be straight with you.
I'm the nephew of, Tony Lord.
Please. Not in my tennis club.
I apologise, but I wanted
to introduce myself to you.
Very happy to meet you,
just don't mention your uncle, OK?
OK, look. I know
I know he's not for everyone,
but I'm not him.
I'm simply asking
for a few minutes of your time.
What for?
To convince me he's a nice guy?
Never.
I know he's not.
But I think he undervalued
the land you own,
it's worth a lot more.
And if you'll allow me
to demonstrate this
Look, amigo.
You know, I live a comfortable life.
I don't need
to deal with a puta like Tony.
OK?
Mister Ralveras.
What if it was us you dealt with?
And why should I believe you?
Because I feel the same way
about Tony.
The man is a puta.
But we see the opportunity.
For all of us.
It could be millions.
Hey, think about it.
You can reach us at the Villa
that Tony claims is his,
but everyone knows
is a complete lie.
Just like everything in his life.
(SPEAKS SPANISH)
Come on, Cind.
(BRIGHT MUSIC)
If he calls, we do a deal.
We could parcel
that whole section off.
I make it ten acres.
You offer it to Ernesto.
An olive branch.
You mad? He owns a donkey field.
You're fucked anyway,
he's not gonna call.
I mean (INHALES SHARPLY)
why would he?
Look at the state of you,
you're shot to bits.
Shut it.
(SCOFFS)
Fuck this. I'm gonna lie down.
Whatever you offer needs to be
so generous he can't say no.
It's called speculation.
DON'T patronise me, Gene,
I know what it's called.
And yet you still don't own
the donkey field.
(SLOW, FOREBODING MUSIC)
(INSECTS CHITTER)
Hello, girl.
(BREATHES SHARPLY)
Don't fucking creep up on me.
It's time you started
showing me some respect.
Know what this is?
An invitation?
You want it?
A bit of my Jack and Danni.
Take it.
Pfft.
You think you can hurt me?
I've had things done to me that
would give you fucking nightmares.
I see you coming a mile off.
Big hat, no cattle.
You've got no idea
who you are dealing with.
Relax, girl, won't hurt.
Cross me again
and every time
you look in the mirror
and see the stitches
holding your face together,
you will remember me.
You'd better make it count, girl.
'Cause you'll only try once.

You watch your back, girl.

Flight itinerary, Ma'am.
Funny thing; Gene Lord's girlfriend

Anywhere.
Well, aren't you on fire today!

Local friends of mine

hundreds of years.
Well, in fact, Carlos' family
were the
largest exporters
of Olive oil here on the Costa.
Yes, sir.
Until they were
conned out of their land
by a, um
cheap English gangster,
who lied and intimidated,
in order to get them to
sign the deeds over their land.
So, now, my friends have
la puta mierda.
Means nothing.
Well, apart from
a little olive oil,
and a lot of anger.
So, Gene
you know, while I'm alive
I'll never sign these deeds away,

Now, get off my property.
Let's just go, Tony.
Fuck you.
