(0.00 / 0 votes)I was 11 years old
when general Batista
slaughtered half my village.
I watched him
torture my father
and butcher my mother.
The kids that survived,
I took to Juarez.
We roamed the streets
like wolves.
I came back the night
of the general's wedding.
Stole his straight razor.
The general awoke to the sound
While the general bled,
I sang to him.
"'Tis better to whisper
the sun is rising.
'Tis better to whisper
the sun is rising."
There's two kinds of people
in the world, fellas.
There's the wicked...
And the righteous.
And it's
the wicked man's job
to get
the righteous man's money.
This righteous tool here
is used by the wicked
to get that money.
Sure, they're old.
But they shoot true.
Now, in the hands of a man
such as Louie Chama, well...
- Huh?
You don't f*ck
with Louie Chama.
- Amigo mio
said to me was,
''I was always a lover,
despite the killings.''
The body of Ransom Pride
belongs to me.
And I understand there's someone
here who believes otherwise.

Your Ransom...
he killed a priest.
This priest
was my brother by birth.
And although his faith
was misplaced,
he remains my brother
in death.
Therefore, the body

black vultures,
for there must be
atonement.
He has a brother.
So this is your offer?
a man's soul...
With the blood
of his brother...
Is beyond salvation.

She's taken to me.
Maybe she thinks
I'm like him.
How is it you consider
yourself like Ransom?
I'm sorry, Pa.
I didn't mean
we're the very same.
I just...
- I just think that maybe-
- No, finish what you said.
I want to hear
how it is
you think
you're like your brother.
Whorin'?
Runnin', robbin'?
You're right, Pa,
we're nothing alike.
No, you're not alike.
And you should
get on your knees
and thank the Lord in heaven

He's coming
to get me, Mama.
Hey, Mama.
I'm sorry.
She had them pups?
She's suffering, Pa.

shall know
