Would you do me the honor?
You need to learn to play.
That's why you're here.
I hear this is a town of Gunmen.
We only make guitars here.
Mariachi.
Which one?
I don't know who you mean.
I'm honored to be in your presence.
But there's someone else who wants to meet you.
Keep it. He made that for you.
Attempts have been made on me and my family by the cartels.
The same cartels that are threatening our freedom...
freedom which we must defend to the death.
Please sit.
We hear you want to work for us.
I too am ready to start a new life.
This is your lucky day.
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.
A vow must be broken.
Forgive me...
for what I am about to become.
Why would l want that? Why would l want bubble gum?
(Announcer) It's Mariachi Happy Hour!
Get your Mariachi song for 5 pesos.
A Mariachi kiss for 20 pesos.
And a Mariachi fuck for only 50 pesos!
Where the hell have you been?
Far away.
Still fucking around?
Let me get Fideo.
What do you want in life?
Who are they?
Musicians.
Why so heavy?
Built in amplifier.
Play something.
All right.
Let's go.
What we are looking for is support
from the people of this state.
A man can do a lot alone,
but he can do better with his people backing him.
Is there a particular song you would like to hear?
You have to relax your fingers.
Music is pure, from one's soul.
If the soul is pure, the music flows free.
And if the soul isn't pure?
Then you must practice like a motherfucker.
This guy's all fucked up.
General Marquez is arriving!
Bring out the Mariachi!
Bring him out to the General!
I didn't kill you before. Enough blood had been shed.
But l see now...
that blood will spill again.
General Marquez, the Mariachi is not here.
He escaped.
You too will escape.
By order of the President, they are searching all vehicles
for guns and drugs.
On this day of the dead,
I offer you a chance for a new life.
Is someone following you?
Yes, he's getting close.
Kill him?
For you...
for our daughter...
for Mexico.
Watch him.
We could torture him.
He's FBI.
He's retired.
That doesn't count.
I was tortured once.
I didn't like it.
You know what the fucked up thing is?
They tore out my left nut.
That sort of turned me off of the whole thing.
What should we do with him?
Let's go eat about it.
Hey Snow White, watch that fucking pig.
What do you want in life?
Carolina?
She died.
Your daughter?
She died.
and you?
Dead.
and l?
Alive and well.
In hell.
Everything in its place...
See you later.
Are you okay?
I don't know.
You will be.
What do you want in life?
To be free...
Simple.
