Script

Armando Mendez: Whoa, thank God you're here.

Victor Vance: What's going on?

Armando Mendez: I've got some bad news, friend. You're in terrible trouble.

Victor Vance: What?

Armando Mendez: Diego is beside himself with worry.

Victor Vance: Wait a minute, hold on. What are you talking about?

Armando Mendez: The police got some of our merchandise. But it's you we're worried about.

Victor Vance: Why?

Armando Mendez: You see, we're utilitarians - the greatest good for the greatest number. And there are two of us, but only one of you. So Diego suggested we explain to the police that the cocaine was yours.

Victor Vance: What... [sarcastically] Oh-ho-ho, oh, yeah, that's very thoughtful of you.

Armando Mendez: And unfortunately, I have this paperwork showing your involvement in the project. Unless we could resolve this little distraction.

Victor Vance: And how do you suggest we do that?

Armando Mendez: You steal the cocaine back for us. It's been impounded. You must steal it before they take it back to the police station. Thank you, Vic. I do so enjoy our conversations. I find you very inspiring.

Victor Vance: Thanks. Here we go again.

Armando Mendez: Have fun!

(Victor drives to the Junkyard in Little Haiti)

Diego: There are some cargo containers at the police impound. Our coke is hidden inside them, all mixed up amongst the other cargo.

Victor Vance: Don't worry. I'll get them out of there.

Diego: Muy Bien. I'll be in touch.

(Victor picks up the cargo container at the police impound)

Diego (on radio): Senor, take the containers to the drop-off point.
