Lorenzo

I wonder how much we’re getting paid for this shit?

Fideo

A man wants nothing. He’s invincible. Come on. Hey, are you gonna tell him that this is his last meal?

Elle

Señor Presidente, alguna canción que quiera oír en particular.
( Mr. Presindent, any song you want to hear?)

President

La Malagueña.

Lorenzo

This is pay from El Presidente? I can’t buy half a tequila with this shit.

Fideo

It was meant as an honour.

Lorenzo

Fuck honour. We need money.

Elle

His call is tomorrow. Enough for everybody. Even for you, Lorenzo.

Lorenzo

Why are you selling your interest in squaw? What’s in it for you?

Elle

Only revenge. A much delayed revenge. Go practice.

Fideo

Practice? Playing or shooting?

Elle

What do you think?

Fideo

I don’t think. I drink.

Sands

Yeah, hello.

Ramirez

Been following Barillo and the good Dr. Givarah.

Sands

Oh, Agent Ramirez, no longer retired. Good man, welcome to the fold.

Ramirez

I haven’t spotted any illegal activities yet, only that Dr. Givarah is scheduled for a medical procedure on November 2nd.

Sands

Ah-ha. The Day of the Dead. That’s tomorrow.

Ramirez

I also identified a member of the group, as Billy Chambers. A fugitive, we’ve been wanting to pick him up for some time now.

Sands

Billy Chambers. Yeah. You sure?

Ramirez

Bet my badge on it.

Sands

Well, whatever they’re up to, I can guarantee that it’s going to happen tomorrow. So, my suggestion to you is. . .

Ramirez

What’s going down tomorrow?

Sands

If you see an opening, take it.

Ramirez

What do you know?

Sands

Not enough, get inside.

Ramirez

I got nothing. Gotta get in. I got nothing. They make a move, I don’t have a move to make. What you gonna do, stupid? Billy Chambers is on the move. Where are you going? You’re buying a taco. This is too easy. Where are the other guys? This is a set-up. It smells like a set-up. I’m making my move. (Speaks in Mexican)

Chambers

Pollo.
(Chicken)

Ramirez

Billy Chambers.

Chambers

Well, that depends on who’s asking.

Ramirez

Thought it was you.

Chambers

Yeah.

Ramirez

Here, let me pay for this.

Chambers

Oh, thanks. Oh, God, no. Is that real?

Ramirez

Yes it is.

Chambers

God damn, what took you boys so long? Oh, hey, friend. You ain’t gonna need that. Believe it or not, man, I’m ready to go.

Ramirez

Let’s talk over there.

Chambers

After you. Man, I just wanna get outta here. I’ve been on the run, hiding out here, down in Mexico, for the last. . . eight goddamn years. And, er, working for this here cartel for the last four. I ain’t got no shit, all I got is what I’m wearing on my back. And I can’t go nowheres, sorta got me by the balls, you know.

Ramirez

Jorge Ramirez. I’ll take you in under the FBI’s supervision and protection. Until we can take you back to the States, where you will be prosecuted for the crimes you committed.

Chambers

In the U.S?

Ramirez

In the U.S.

Chambers

Yeah. The things I’ve had to do for this goddamn cartel are, unspeakable.

Ramirez

You really don’t know what Barillo’s up to?

Chambers

I’m close to the man. . . I’m real close, but, he don’t let nobody in, that cocksucker.

Ramirez

Can you get him close to Barillo?

Chambers

Him?

Ramirez

I need your help.

Chambers

Then you’ll get me outta here?

Ramirez

Then I’ll get you outta here.

Chambers

Him too.

Cucuy

There’s cartel on every corner.

Elle

Sands told me you handle protection.

Cucuy

I don’t work for Sands any more. And since I’m a MexiCAN, I can do whatever I want.

Elle

Then I guess I don’t work for Sands, neither. Goodbye.

Cucuy

There’s a price on your head. I’m going to collect. Why don’t you just tell Barillo everything you know? And then maybe he’ll just cut off your hands.

Elle

And if I don’t?

Cucuy

You know that old man I killed in your village? What if your whole village was next?

Elle

Would you kill them?

Cucuy

Me? They certainly would.

Elle

Then I guess I have no choice. . . but to kill you all. You. . . are last.

Cucuy

Ay ta el cabrón., agárrenlo. Y si no lo agarran voy a matar a tu hermana.
(There is!, catch him!. If you don’t do it I will kill your sister)
That should put him out for a few days. And give him some nasty dreams.

Piano teacher

Para tocar hay que relajar los dedos. La música es pura, debe nacer del alma. Si el alma es pura la música nacerá fácilmente.
(To play well you have to relax your fingers. Music is pure, it have to birth from your soul. If the soul is clean, music will flow easily)

Barillo

Y si el alma no es pura?
(And if the soul isn’t clean?)

Piano teacher

Entonces hay que practicar como la chingada.
(Then you have to practice like shit)

Chambers

May I present to you, er, Señor Cucuy.

Barillo

Get this condescending ass out of here.

Chambers

Hey, you want me to break his fingers?

Barillo

No, I want you to chop them off.

Chambers

I was just making a joke.

Barillo

I wasn’t. Gracias maestro. Sit, please. So, you’re the man that brought us the mariachi.

Cucuy

The man I work for, Mr. Sands, he is using the mariachi to kill General Marquez.

Barillo

So, you want to join us? Here’s how it works. There’s the bait, there’s the trade. A favour for a favour.

Cucuy

So El Mariachi is the trade.

Barillo

You are.

Chambers

This ain’t my line of work.

Man 1

Ahí viene el General Marquez.
(Here it comes the General Marquez)

Man 2

Traigan al Mariachi.
(Bring the Mariachi)

Elle

No te mate porque ya había demasiada sangre derramada, pero estoy viendo que la sangre va a brotar otra vez.
(I didn’t kill you before because too much blood was spilled, but now, I think blood will appear again.)

Soldier

General Marquez, el mariachi no está aquí. Se escapó.
(General Marquez, el Mariachi is not here. He escaped)

Marquez

Tú también te vas a escapar.
(You are going to escape too)

Fideo

Hey, hey, hey, Lorri. Why?

Lorenzo

Practice shooting, not drinking. Bueno.

Elle

We’re on.

Man

Por orden del presidente tienen que revisar cualquier coche que pase, por armas o drogas.
(The president order to check every vehicle, we are looking for guns or drugs.)

Chambers

You know that fucker’s been blockading all the goddamn roads.

Barillo

Take us back another way. By order of the president. Who does this guy think he is? He wants to get rid of me? Fine. I’ll get rid of him. Replace him even. Then, I will simply, disappear. Vámonos ya. (Let’s go now)

Chambers

Si vámonos man.
(Yeah, let’s go man)

Barillo

Don’t put me out completely. Have my men wait outside.

Ramirez

Gracias. Barillo and Dr. Givarah must all ready be inside of the building. . . having entered through the back or basement. They should be mid-procedure. AFN agents. This is going down now. If Barillo wanted to look, unrecognizable to authorities, he succeeded. Massive tissue loss due to an only, partially completed facial reconstruction, wasn’t necessarily the cause of death. They switched bodies. Barillo.

Ajedrez

FBI. He was, anyway. Bring him along.

Sands

Listen. I cannot do everything by myself, I need someone to go in there with me. No, I lost my inside man, probably dead. And Cucuy, greedy turd that he is, ratted me out and has disappeared. Plus, I’m pretty sure the cartel are shadowing me. No, listen, I have got a swell bunch of guys intercepting Marquez’s army, but they’ve got no guns. Now, listen, I want you to understand me. This is no time to screw the pooch, because this is supposed to be the big dance number. All right? Hello? Hello? Are you there? Okay. Okay, I’m going to freak right out. I would like the puerco pil-bil, and a tequila with lime. Yeah, listen, er, I need a new line. This one’s been compromised. Okay. Thank you. I’ll be waiting here at the La Voca Volando. That’s right, the flying, cow.

Ajedrez

Sheldon. You really didn’t see it coming, did you? Sorry, baby. I told you I wasn’t interested in your schemes. Too small.

Sands

Oh. My Christ. Is that Barillo?

Ajedrez

That’s the new Barillo. The old Barillo died in surgery a few hours ago.

Sands

What kind of cartel would have you running its operation?

Ajedrez

I’m his daughter.

Barillo

You’ve been spying on my operation for some time.

Sands

I feel it’s only fair to warn you, that killing me is crossing the line, and you will have every single marine from here to Guantanamo Bay up your keister, mister. So, just know that.

Barillo

Fortunately for you, nothing you did, is worth dying over. But you have only seen too much. We want to make sure that doesn’t happen again.

President

En este el día de muertos, yo les vengo a ofrecer una nueva vida, una vida llena de…
(In this Day of the dead, I offer you a new life, a life full of …)
That sounded a little extreme for a parade.

Aide

Those are troops coming up from the south, sir.

President

Whose?

Aide

Emiliar Marquez.

President

Wh. . . what do we do?

Aide

We stay here. This place is fortified. It’s much easier to defend this place than to chance going out in the open.

President

What are you talking about, fortified? Come here! (Speaks in Mexican)

Aide

Just stay clear of those windows, sir. You let me handle it.

Sands

My name is Sheldon Geoffrey Sands. I work for the Central Intelligence Agency. I throw shapes. I throw shapes. I set them up. I watch them fall. I’m living la vida loca.

Boy

Quiere más chicle?
(Do you want more bubble gum?)

Sands

No. I’m terribly sorry about your chewing gum, but, listen. . . I will give you this. . . ouch. . . if you’ll be my eyes.

Boy

Es un dólar.
(It’s a dollar)

Sands

Well, I meant, this. I need you to take me to the centre of the city.

Boy

Alguien te viene siguiendo?
(Somebody is following you?)

Sands

Well, it’s a little difficult for me to tell right now, because I’m kind of having a bad day. Do you see somebody?

Boy

Un tipo. Se está acercando.
(A man, he is getting closer)
