The Ride (2025) Movie Script
I am Barry.
Before the day ends,
I'll take a life.
Or lose mine.
So, I'd rather confess.
ESPRESSO DIESEL PREMIUM
This life It's all I've known.
I could manage
If it was just me.
But fuck.
I've got a son.
This is Leo.
- Keep the car intact.
- Huh?!
You know the drill.
Boss Vince wants nothing to do
with faulty goods.
All the doors are fucking locked!
- Get out!
- Hey!
Get out!
- Open the door!
- Get out!
Open up, fucker!
Barry! What the fuck!
- Hey, hey.
- Look out.
- Hey!
- He's armed!
He fucking drew a gun!
Fuck, thought he had a gun.
Cut the bull.
You owe me.
In Filipino, dickhead.
I'm talking in Filipino.
Pay up.
You don't want to pay, huh?
Fine.
Leo's just like any other kid,
enraged at the world.
- I'm aware of my shortcomings.
- We're even.
I'm not a good father.
Nor am I a good person.
What the fuck did you do, Barry?
If this shit backfires, for sure,
we're not coming out of this whole.
We know how Vince works.
For him, everyone's fair game.
I trust you anyway.
Fuck you if you don't.
You're really dealing with Windsor?
Oh fucking hell.
Wow.
You've dealt with him.
You'll be at the top.
Your contacts. Your ship.
I'll deal with everything below.
Load whatever you want.
Cars, bikes, or anything really.
Can you cover everything?
I mean,
the guys are fed up with Vince.
For sure, I can win them over.
Well, you know how
He's all balls, but no brains.
Fired back, huh?
Ah He had a gun.
Your kids are too reckless.
Bullshit. Just that kid.
You left the gun?
Ah
With the corpse, boss.
Aren't the windows cheaper, boss?
Cheaper than?
All you do is run your mouth and show off.
Bro.
I'll be selling that at a loss, Barry.
Why would I do that?
Why would I clean up someone else's mess?
You keep screwing up.
Time after time.
Here, Barry.
That's Blue Label! We've got drinks later.
That's just a bottle.
You've got more to go.
Thanks for this, boss.
You're about to stir up a war.
We won't have a war
if we all change sides.
I've had enough of these small-time jobs.
Sick of Vince bossing me around.
How about you?
And your way out is letting
Windsor boss us instead?
We'll have more control.
You trust him that much?
Windsor's more furious
with Vince than with us.
- What if he betrays us?
- Then we stage another coup.
We give bosses too much credit,
forgetting how many of us there are.
Can I really trust
a cheater
to be faithful to me?
Come on, boss.
A coup, that's what it is.
Changing your mind?
Changing my mind isn't the same
as worrying, you fool.
Lately, your kid seems out of it.
You mean Barry?
Who else?
Boss, his ex-wife actually
is sick with cancer.
I'll let him take a break.
I don't want him to fuck up some more.
Let me deal with him.
Still on?
Got the place?
Windsor's showing up?
No turning back now.
As it should.
I'll go ahead.
Oh, Mom.
Oh, son, what's with the plushie look?
Too early, Mom.
So, any updates?
Well, my car broke down again.
Oh no. What now?
Don't worry, I'll sort it out.
I'll be there on your birthday, promise.
Just you?
With your dragon fruit, of course.
Your dad
What do you want me to do?
I've been texting him since yesterday,
but still no response.
Hasn't got back to me either.
You see? What do you expect?
Leo, we've talked about this.
And I agreed.
He did too.
Yeah, both of us signed off the deal.
And then what, Mom?
He just vanished.
Same old guy.
Figure it out, son. That's non-negotiable.
This might be my last birthday.
I just want to see you together.
Mom.
Don't rub it in.
Still wrapping my head around it.
When I'm gone, he's all you have.
Talk to you later, Mom.
Have to call Byron.
Don't worry.
I'll handle everything.
So, fixable?
Not today.
We're short-handed,
plus, I need to order some parts.
When do you need it? When are you leaving?
PETROL POSITIVE PERFORMANCE CARS EST. 2018
Tomorrow supposedly.
Seriously, use a fucking glass.
I'll have some too.
Such a fuss.
What?
The fuck's your problem?
Leo.
Finally, the jerk's here.
I'll be back.
Alright.
Stalled?
Your phone stalled too?
Something came up.
And that took you two days?
Mom and I waited ages
for your confirmation.
That's what I'm here for. Let's go.
In a rush? My car's still broken.
Let's use my car then.
Will that clunker survive the trip?
Will yours?
I'll get packed.
- Won't you invite me for coffee?
- Nope.
That's it.
That's my karma.
Where else would Leo pick that up?
When Sally called,
I realized I needed to add this
to the things I must set right.
Before I'm six feet under.
Let's go.
Chill, I'll drive once you're tired.
As we agreed.
Slam it.
Feeling hot?
Let's skip the AC.
Some music?
Is the girl from the race your girlfriend?
Racing is dangerous, you know.
Loads of girls around.
Loads of reckless guys too.
So, watch yourself.
You won't always have the upper hand.
Why don't you go back to college?
What are you doing?
You hardly ever show up,
and now you want to act like a dad?
So not you.
- Just two cobs.
- Alright.
- I'll have a cob.
- Sure.
How much?
- Paying together?
- Yeah.
- Nope.
- Yes.
How much?
Keep the change.
Here.
Does the fruit fall far from the tree?
I won't let him end up like me.
That's all.
Why'd you get the key?
Barry?
Barry. Where's Leo?
He has an emergency.
Dropping a deuce.
Ah Where you at?
Uh On the way.
But I have a quick detour.
Listen up, Barry.
Looks like I won't make it to my birthday.
Surgery's set for later.
Honestly, I don't know what'll happen.
I want you to be real with Leo.
That's all I ask. Thanks.
Fuck, yeah.
I'm not a good husband either.
Go on.
Add it to what I need to atone for.
Where are you, Barry?
We going in together?
I'm heading over to Sally.
It's her birthday. She's sick.
Let's just meet up there.
Will Windsor mind
if we don't come in together?
Yeah, he knows you.
Gave him a heads-up. See you.
I'll see you there.
They don't have dragon fruit.
I thought
I thought your tummy
was acting up. Still hungry?
That's for Mom, stupid.
Oh yeah, she's into dragon fruit.
Supposed to prolong life.
Didn't work for her.
More fruit stalls on the way.
Hey.
Be quick.
Hello, boss.
Are you on the way?
I am, but Anton might get there first.
Aren't you together?
No, it's safer this way.
You know what?
I'm convinced your skills
are wasted with Vince.
See you.
Okay, boss.
Oh great.
I had no idea it was the start of a coup.
You should get that.
Wanna have a closer look?
Is there a dragon fruit anywhere?
You could get some on the other side.
Sir, sir! Have some stew.
- Doesn't it smell so good?
- Where's the toilet?
- I spent three months boiling this.
- Where's the toilet?
I don't care where you guys go,
as long as you find him.
Bring him back alive,
just like what was asked of us.
It's his car.
Not his car's plate.
Switching license plates is a breeze.
Or maybe he did see us?
Or did he realize his faults?
But bro,
I'm not all in on this whole thing.
It was Barry who introduced me to this.
He taught me everything I needed to know.
He is literally my mentor.
Let's try to bring him back alive then.
Try.
We're talking about Barry here.
He won't let himself be caught alive.
My turn. Wait for me.
Daryl, bro.
- Exactly two kilos.
- Here.
Thanks.

Jules.
Try to bring me back alive.
- Fuck, Barry.
- Fuck, Jules. You listen to me.
He's just gonna speak with you.
Come on.
Asshole.
Aren't you stupid like that?
What the fuck, Leo?
Run, run!
Run!
Run!
Give me the keys.
I lost the dragon fruit.
On three, run!
Mom's dragon fruit
- Two
- Mom's dragon fruit.
Come on!
Shit, come on!
- Keys!
- I'll drive!
Run! There!
Faster!
The fuck was that?
Work.
Work, huh?!
Work?
- Work.
- Work or you messed up?!
Is Mom aware you're a criminal?
I thought you're just useless.
There's so much your Mom doesn't know.
And that's better.
I sold my soul to the devil.
But I won't risk yours.
Know how to handle this?
I'll be back.
What's going on?
Didn't I tell you to wait?
Hide!
Hey, move your asses!
Can't you go any faster?
Fucking shit.
Sorry, old man.
Get him.
Work's done.
You're coming?
Alright.
What have you done to them, Barry?!
Coup d'tat.
What?!
If you hate the government,
coup d'tat.
Enough, boss.
Please, boss.
Boss
Boss, stop this, please.
Stop, please.
Enough, please!
Boss, I've had enough.
Enough!
Anton.
Let's not meddle.
Our trips are getting less.
He's tightening our belts.
At least, Barry was still given a gift.
Look at this.
You can't win me over with Blue Label.
Almost there.
Hang on.
That's fine, bro.
Work's done.
Alright, boss.
Sorry, old man.
Your kid seems distracted.
You mean Barry?
Who else?
I'll give him some time off.
Things might get out of hand.
Let me deal with him.
Still on?
Tomorrow night.
I'll go ahead.
Coup d'tat, everyone's at odds.
Last one standing.
You don't want us in your shit,
but you chose them as family?
You're still an asshole!
You've been swearing at me.
Drop me off!
- Your mother will...
- I don't care about you!
Leo.
Leo!
Cig, please.

How'd you feel when you pull the trigger?
What?
When the bullet hits your target.
Seems exciting.
Exciting, my ass.
Weren't you almost hit at the market?
What if it did?
Here's a shot.
Grab me some bread.
Wake up.
Don't make a sound.
On your feet.
On your feet now.
Who are you?
Tell me.
Where's Barry?
Where's Barry?!
Hey, move!
What are you up to? Move!
Catch him!
Spread out! That side, Diego!
You on the other.

Oh bro.

Leo, you're fine. Come on!
Come on!
Fuck.
Motherfucker.
Is this what I'm passing down?
This sort of violence?
This fucking life?
To the dock.
You fucking kidding me?
You've been hit hard.
Leo.
The dock is closer than the hospital.
Let's go see your mom.
Okay?
Fuck.
I did everything to survive.
Thinking of nobody else.
All for myself.
If this is how it all ends,
I'll end with you, son.
What's happening?
PHILIPPINE PORTS AUTHORITY
Barry Garces, Leo Roa,
slowly step out of your car.
Dad.
Don't you wanna get to Sally?
We'll get out.
Nobody shoots!
Dad.
Barry.
If this kid won't make it out alive,
it's on you!
Drop your gun.
And what?
This is what's going to happen.
We'll ride the ferry.
No one follows!
No one stakes us out!
And you will do nothing!
Listen.
What are you talking about?
Don't you follow in my steps.
Promise me
Dad
you'll live a decent life.
No matter what happens
No matter how difficult
You'll go on.
You'll be a good man.
Just do what I say, son.
I got you.
On the count of three
Run.
One.

Three!

slowly step out of your car.
Dad.
Don't you wanna get to Sally?
We'll get out.
Nobody shoots!
Dad.
Barry.
If this kid won't make it out alive,
it's on you!
Drop your gun.
And what?
This is what's going to happen.
We'll ride the ferry.
No one follows!
No one stakes us out!
And you will do nothing!
Listen.
What are you talking about?
Don't you follow in my steps.
Promise me
Dad
you'll live a decent life.
No matter what happens
No matter how difficult
You'll go on.
You'll be a good man.
Just do what I say, son.
I got you.
On the count of three
Run.
One.
- Two.
- Dad
Three!
Leo.
Leo.
What's happening?
Mom.
Leo?
Leo, where are you?
What happened?
