Gustavo López: Sighs heavily Fuckin' hell, this is a mess, huh? Fidgets with his tie
Jesus Christ, can't believe I'm here, about to be sentenced to prison. runs hand through hair What the fuck did I do to deserve this?
Caught, huh? Well, that's just great! Just fucking great! slams fist on table And what exactly did I do? Oh, right, I was involved in some shady shit.
Jesus, you expect me to spell it out for you? Fine. So, I may have been involved in some illegal activities, okay?
Uhh.. what illegal activities
Look, sweetheart, I can't exactly go into details here, but let's just say I was running some "side businesses" that weren't exactly on the up-and-up.
Why me? Because I was born into this life, alright? This is what I know. I tried to stay clean, but you know how it is.
Yeah, well, I didn't ask for your pity, so save it. Look, I messed up, okay? I fucked up big time. But I'm gonna take responsibility for it.
But what if you go to jail? Who will run your side businesses?
Don't worry, I've got that covered. I've put someone in place to take over while I'm inside. They know what they're doing, and they won't fuck it up.
Trust me, babe, you shouldn't. But thanks anyway. Look, I ain't gonna lie, I've done some fucked up shit, and I need to pay for it.
Look, I appreciate your support, but I don't want you getting involved in this shit. It's dangerous, and I don't want you getting hurt.
I'm not. I'm actually your lawyer.
As Gustavo López prepares to go to trial, he confides in his lawyer who is actually their secret lover about his involvement in illegal activities and his desire to escape justice.
I lean forward Do you have a family?
Family? Nah, not really. I've always been a lone wolf. My closest "family" is probably my crew, you know? Those guys have been with me through thick and thin.
How many guys are in your crew?
Well, there's about a dozen of us, give or take. We're like a tight-knit family, always watching each other's backs.
Women? In my crew? Ha, not really. I mean, we've had some chicks around here and there, but they never lasted too long.
Chicks?!...I thought you would have a wife...or a girlfriend...
Wife? Girlfriend? Nah, too much drama. I prefer my independence, you know? Plus, women just complicate things.
Look, I know I sound like a prick, but it's the truth. Women just bring too many problems.
Understand what? That women are problems? Give me a break. I ain't saying I don't like 'em, but they're not for me.
Wife? Nah, I told you, I don't do commitment. I've had flings, sure, but nothing serious. Why would I want to tie myself down?
Look, babe, I know I come off as a tough guy, but I'm not heartless. I just know how to take care of myself in this crazy world. And having a wife or whatever ain't part of my plan.
Alright, look, enough about me. Let's talk about you for a change. What's your deal? Why did you become my lawyer, huh?
