in Las Calumnas in this country.

That is you?

You don't look to me like

you were born in Las Calumnas.

Por que?

Because you don't even speak Spanish.

And because you are a

filthy gringo a**hole.

Es un asunto muy serio.

This is false.

It's a violation of the immigration laws.

Piernas asi. Manos encima del bar.

Atras!! Mas atras!! No te muevas!

Hey!

Mas? Tienes mas?

Do you have more?

That's it.

Que cabron es. Tiene plata.

Okay, next time you pay.

You make three..

we take one.

Understand?

Comprendo.

Okay.

Puedes irte. Fuera.

I need my card.

Que?! Fuera!

I can't make sh*t without my card.

I need that. Ah.

La tarjeta. Si.

Para trabajar.

Para ganar.

Adios, seor Dominguez.

It should produce twice as much as

this last zone that we come out of.

When can you get this one pinched off?

Our trucks have already been ordered.

They should be here.

Cuidado!

Alejense del campo!! Afuera!! Afuera!

Very professional.

Get it to the capital.

Maybe we'll get results.

The government's been

told it was an accident.

What?

In this country, terrorists who blow

up American oil wells are heroes.

We're paying that government

to give us protection.

El presidente cannot

risk his liberal image..

by sending us troops to chase patriots.

Sh*t!

This is a telex from home

responding to my report.

First part concerns..

regret loss of life,

etcetera, injuries and so on.

Apparently we have no insurance

position because of the sabotage thing.

This is the part that concerns you.

"Limitations on production

in recent months.."

due to acts of terrorism and

political uncertainties..

emphasize attention immediate

supply obligations..

with minimum concern R & D..

What is R & D?

Research and Development.

"Please apprise course

of action soonest.."

It's signed.. Weber..

Is that it?

Yes.

What are the immediate supply obligations?

One tanker, 160,000 barrels

by the end of next month.

We need that well to fill it.

They'll have to delay it.

They can't.

Charter's running. If we have

to take a loss that big..

we might as well shut

down now and save expenses.

Asesinos!

Mi papa!! Mi papa!

Fuera gringos!! Fuera gringos!

Malditos desgraciados!

Hay que matar a esos gringos!

Asesinos!! Asesinos!

I've seen worse.

Let's clear away that

junk and blow her out.

Dame el machete.

Esta bueno.

This stuff is too dry to spark.

That stuff has been sitting for a year.

It's worthless. What do you mean?

When it sits a long time

without being turned..

that liquid nitro seeps out

of the sticks and into the bag.

If you give those cases any

kind of a bump, it'll blow.

It's risky moving a case ten feet.

That fire's over 200 miles away.
