Son of a Gun (2014) - full transcript

Locked up for a minor crime, 19 year old JR quickly learns the harsh realities of prison life. Protection, if you can get it, is paramount. JR soon finds himself under the watchful eye of Australia's most notorious criminal, Brendan Lynch. But protection comes at a price. Lynch and his crew have plans for their young protegee. Upon release, JR must help secure Lynch's freedom, staging a daring prison break. As a reward, he's invited to join the crew as they plan a gold heist that promises to deliver millions. However, as things start to go wrong, a deadly game of cat and mouse ensues. JR finds himself unsure of whom he can trust and on a collision course with his former mentor.

OFFICER: Open your mouth. Wider.

Turn your head to the side,
let's see behind your ear.

And then your other ear.

Anything in your pockets?

Empty it all out
and hand it over to me.

Right. I want all your gear off, place
it in this plastic bag.

OK, look at me.

Pop your hands right up,
let's see under your armpits.

Turn your hands the other way, wiggle
your fingers.



Foot down, other foot up.

Wiggle your toes.

I want you to drop down,
give us a big squat, and cough.

You ever been in prison before or been
locked up?

You have enemies

or anyone who might have a problem with
you in this place?

Good. Keep your nose clean.

Six months with time off,
you'll be out in three.

You want anyone
on your phone account?

- No.
- Family?

No.

Time for a fresh start, then.

Sit down.

In game three of the most famous chess
tournament in history

between Bobby Fischer
and Boris Spassky,

Bobby played an opening move he'd never
played before.

Eh?

It means 'son of sorrow'.

If you commit to this,
there's no going back.

If you play this opening,

you're saying I'm not
interested in a draw.

A draw cannae help me.
This is all or nothing.

This is a fight to the death.'

Now, if you want
to take action...

then make it count.

No half measures.

'Cause unless you're
planning on fighting plaque,

this is not gonna stop Dave
and his cronies.

Now, son,
I can sort this for you.

But then I'm gonna
need your help on the outside.

To do what?

What do you think?

I'm looking at 20 years
without parole in this shithole.

25, once I sort
your wee problem.

And what if I say no?

Well... Dave has
some very ugly friends.

No, leave him in there.

(TV IN BACKGROUND)

MAN, ON TV: Police are appealing for
witnesses

after the discovery
of a burnt-out car

- in Kalgoorlie...
- TASHA: You're on TV.

The LandCruiser was found
in an abandoned pit

belonging to
the KB Mining Corporation.

Police believe
the car is linked to

convicted bank robber and
prison escapee Brendan Lynch

and 19-year-old
Jesse-Ryan White.

Investigators say
they're the chief suspects

in a brazen robbery two days ago

that netted more than
$10 million worth of gold.

BRENDAN: Fuck off!

That's more than twice
what we took.

Everyone's ripping off everyone, eh?

Isn't that right?

What are you trying to say?

Go out and get us some takeaway, will
you?

Post this while you're out.

- What is it?
- Dead man's cut.

It's for Sterlo's wife.

Post it your fucking self.

- (CRIES OUT)
- You do as you're told.

You fucking...

JR: Fuck off,
you fucking arsehole.

BRENDAN: Say fucking mercy!

blowing a fuse like that?

I'm done with this shit.
Find yourself another monkey.

What are you gonna do, eh?
Run off with that stupid cow?

- You don't know shit.
- You say that like you do!

I've seen too many good men
do time for birds like that.

You stupid idiot!

(TV CONTINUES IN BACKGROUND)

Only two races of people in this world.
Did you know that?

Some scientist looked way, way back in
our evolution

and he discovered that
all humans come from

just two kinds of monkey - the
chimpanzee and the bonobo.

They're almost indistinguishable.

They're both primates,

but have completely different
characteristics.

The chimp, if it's threatened
or scared, will fight

and in some cases
even kill its own.

But the bonobo, they just
huddle together and fuck.

Yeah, yeah,
you're a lover or a fighter.

The bonobo are almost extinct.

You need to figure out
which species you are.

And you'd better do it quickly.

- Thank you.
- Thank you.

Once this job comes off,
we have to vanish.

I mean, completely disappear.

You can't do that
with a girl in tow.

They can't disconnect.

There's always someone
they got to get a message to.
