Once Upon a Time in Mexico Page #2

---

Was I right?

I guess not.

The last shipment of guns

that were seized at our border...

...have not been

accounted for, Sanchez.

You are now off that assignment.

Who wants to volunteer?

Okay. You, Gomez, it's yours.

With el presidente's new campaign

against the Barillo cartel...

...their activities are being

pushed into the forefront.

Large payments, deliveries,

whispers of a political takeover.

I need new point men,

strong and willing.

This is a top priority of el presidente.

Who wants this?

Romero, it's yours.

Pick your secondary person.

A third, if you have to.

That's all. Dismissed.

I should take his left nut.

You're with us.

People of Culiacan.

I've come here to bring you a

message of peace.

Peace that at this moment is being

threatened by a group of people

that is threatening our nation.

People like Armando Barillo.

I invite you to gather our forces...

...in order to prevent the

destruction of our unity

...and our peace.

El presidente, history teaches us

no matter how great your armies are...

...you will always need

the favor of the inhabitants...

...to take possession of a province.

How can you compete with

a man like Barillo? He owns Culiacan.

He doesn't own its people.

Barillo purchased hundreds

of homes and ranches...

...in the northern part of Culiacan.

And then he has turned around

and given these homes to the people.

- He's a folk hero to them.

- He's also a mass murderer...

...and a drug kingpin.

He's trying to make himself a martyr

by drawing the people to his side...

...but the people can see through that.

Men like Barillo have stolen

this country's soul.

But my people will stand up

for what is right.

I'm afraid they're no longer

your people, sir.

Then I will die fighting.

Are you with me?

To the death.

What's wrong?

Everything.

This way!

Come on, come on,

come on, come on!

Any suggestions, Miss "Let's

get a room on the fifth floor...

...so we can see

the beautiful sunset"?

Jump.

Swing, swing, swing.

- Hang on!

- What do you mean, hold on?

Let go now!

Give me that!

Stop the bus.

Stop the bus.

A vow must be broken.

Forgive me...

for what I am about to become.

- When was your last confession?

- An hour ago.

- And the name of your priest?

- Sands.

Okay. You are expected to carry out

your assignment to the letter...

- Yeah, I know.

- Failure to appear...

...in locations at assigned times...

...results in forfeit of protection,

protection you will definitely need.

- Yeah.

- You'll be paid.

Coup d'etats, like elections,

don't come cheap.

So there's plenty of dough

floating around.

There's more.

You will be a free man...

...from Marquez, the cartels,
