The Mexican

    4:40 p.m. on HBO

    Jerry Welbach is a low-level Mafia “mechanic” whose ineptitude is countered by frequent (but unpredictable) bursts of dumb luck. Welbach’s girlfriend Samantha wants him to get out of the business, and after his latest blunder lands capo Arnold Margolese in jail, so does mid-level crime kingpin Bernie Nayman. But Nayman insists that Welbach do one last errand for the mob before they let him find employment elsewhere — he has to go to Mexico and recover a rare and very valuable pistol, which is said to be cursed. Welbach heads south of the border, while Samantha sets out for Las Vegas.

    Once in Mexico, Welbach finds the pistol easily enough, but making his way back to the States proves to be an unexpected challenge. Meanwhile, Welbach’s superiors hire Leroy, a hitman, to kidnap Samantha and hold her hostage until Welbach comes back.

    Batman Begins

    6:40 p.m. on HBO

    A young Bruce Wayne bears witness to his parents’ murder — a trauma that leads him to become obsessed with revenge. Escaping to the East, he seeks counsel with a dangerous but honorable ninja master. Wayne returns seven years later, only to find Gotham City overrun by organized crime and dangerous individuals manipulating the system.
