Nature has a way

of correcting itself.

You're going to church

like I told you?

Almost every day.

Father Antonio is a good man, you

should always be straight with God.

If you turn your back on God,

God might turn his back on you.

Then you're in trouble.

- You mind checking that out for me?

- Yeah, I'm gonna check it out for you.

Hey?

And next time don't make

such a dramatic entrance.

Remember I'm dying.

They're here.

I grew up here.

And here I am, a babysitter

for f***ing Arabs'.

They're Afghans'.

Whatever.

Welcome, Gentlemen.

"As-Salamu Alaikum".

- "As-Salamu Alaikum".

- "As-Salamu Alaikum".

Welcome.

I'm afraid my Spanish

is deplorable, Mr. Juarez.

And the Spanish translation books

are scares in my country.

With that said, it would be good

to know, that we're safe here.

In English,

if you don't mind.

You're completely safe here.

Please... you've come

a long way, let's go inside.

Manhattan bar, ask for Jos?

I'm looking for Jos?

This is Mexico, brother.

Everyone's named Jos?

Wait here.

Want to buy me a drink?

Uh... no.

Want a woman?

No, I'm good,

I'm fine, thanks.

Why the f***

did you come here for then?

This isn't a good time,

come back a little later.

I think you should take off.

You haven't seen any

piece a sh*t bounty hunters,

have you?

Why don't you two guys

grab a couple beers, huh?

I said, have you seen...

Second floor.

Knock once.

Go back home, f***ing Gringo.

Go.

Something tells me,

you've never done that before?

It is not commonly, acceptable

behavior... in our culture.

I thought it was stoning,

you know, stoning for f***ing.

Isn't that what you guys do?

We're civilized people.

We don't stone people anymore.

Oh... "civilized", I see.

I assume you are

Mr. Cantons' Lieutenant?

I do work for Don Salazar.

Yes, if I am correctly informed,

Mr. Salazar has fallen ill.

Yes... he has.

We're simple farmers,

Mr. Juarez.

We have a... product

that has a market demaind...

the product

happens to be heroin.

So, that makes us all

common criminals...

in the eyes of the

American goverment, doesn't it?

Does that scare you?

Their goal is

to crush Islam, Mr. Juarez.

Their goal is

to make our people slaves.

For their imperialist interests,

so frankly, sir,

we to say to them,

as we said to the Russians.

F*** them!

Okay.

So... just some odd question...

what if Pelon,

sorry, Mr. Canton...

what if some terrible faith would

to befall him, in the next few days?

How would that effect the deal?

I don't anticipate that.

So, we wait...

and see what happens.

In the meantime... enjoy.

They get one whiff of p*ssy

and they crack.

It's like they're starving.
