Are you sure

you want me to sleep here?

As long as you stay on your side.

Remember l have this...

...and him.

That first song you played.

lt's an original, right?

How did you know?

lt seemed like you wrote it

for someone.

l did.

Sweet dreams.

l need to go to the hotel

for my money.

l'll be right back.

Watch my things.

Hi. lt's Domino.

l know.

lt's jammed.

Son of a b*tch.

-Good afternoon. What can l get you?

-A beer.

ln a bottle, dumb-ass.

lsn't there a girl that works here?

Yes, she's the owner.

She'll be right back.

She's the owner?

Then she must be Moco's girl.

l don't know.

l see her hanging around a musician.

l just saw a guy

with a case like mine.

lt's him they want.

He didn't say anything?

No, he only drank.

l don't look anything like him.

Let's go. He can take all three.

lt's him.

l'm not sure.

-What's in the case?

-My guitar.

-Don't tell me you're a f***ing mariachi.

-l am.

Open it.

lf it's a guitar, you can go.

lf it's not, we're gonna

f*** you up real bad.

Go.

Don't carry your guitar around

until this passes.

lt's the other guy they want.

l better put it upstairs.

What's wrong?

What's wrong?

lt is him!

lt's him.

We screwed up.

-We didn't know what to do.

-We thought you could defend yourself.

You thought l could defend myself.

Against three armed men...

...using this?

My case got switched

with some stupid mariachi's!

Where's the mariachi?

He's dead by now,

so go find my case!

Where were you

when he came to the bar?

l was on the phone...

...talking to a friend

who knows what's going on.

-Did you mention me?

-No.

He told me the man in black

is named Azul.

lf his name is Azul,

why doesn't he wear blue?

l don't know.

But he's killing the men

of a drug dealer...

...whose name is Mauricio,

but they call him Moco.

And Moco sent his men to find Azul.

So, what do they want with me?

Nobody has ever seen Azul.

Only Moco.

And Azul wears black

and carries a guitar case.

Sounds like you, doesn't it?

Then ask your friend to tell Moco...

...that there's two of us,

a killer...

...and a mariachi.

Not just anyone can talk to Moco.

lt's best to not go out.

Hide your jacket and the case

until this passes.

He got away,

but l got a good look at him.

He killed Pina and Taco.

He won't get away again,

l promise you.

Are you always closed on Mondays?

Or did you close

because l lost my guitar?

l'm closed Mondays.

Play me?

DOMlNO

-Hello?

-Come see me.

l can't.

Please?

l don't feel good.

Have you ridden the motorcycle?

l have to hang up.

Boyfriend?

-A gringo?

-Yeah.

There's one thing l don't understand.

lf you're so poor like you say...

...how did you get this place?
