Not knowing what else to do, Leonardo goes to the Mexican president in his palace and describes his suffering. His efforts to meet with the manager are unsuccessful. Desperate, Leonardo makes his way to the capital to ask the new owner to release Gitano. Gitano is sold and quickly sent to the bullring in Mexico City. This includes Gitano because Leonardo can no longer find the deed of gift and the fact that Gitano is branded with Alejandro's brand speaks against Leonardo's ownership. Because he is heavily in debt, his entire estate goes under the hammer. Years later, when Gitano turns four, Don Alejandro has a fatal accident in a race. Weeks pass and then to his great joy, Leonardo receives a letter from Don Alejandro with a deed of gift attached. Meanwhile, Don Alejandro's manager has all the young animals branded with Alejandro's brand, including Gitano. Leonardo writes to Don Alejandro to ask him for an assurance in writing that Gitano belongs to Leonardo's family.ĭon Alejandro, at the time Leonardo writes, is in Europe, taking part in various car races and the letter is slow to reach him.

Lucky the lady has a gun … Homicide detective Terrence Howard-an avid listener of her weird radio spiels-faces an ethical decision: bust her or let her do what the law won’t let him do-blast the scum off the face of the Earth. After she recovers (in body if not soul), she can’t seem to leave her apartment without being set upon by rapists and murderers. 45? Were their credit cards maxed out? Were their kneecaps about to be broken? In The Brave One, Foster plays a radio host who delivers meditative monologues about our precious but too-ephemeral metropolis, only to find her romantic notions of identity shattered along with her skull when she and her fiancé are mugged by sniggering predators in Central Park.
