THE SCENES OF NARCO VIOLENCE ARE INSPIRED BY REALITY.
THE MONSTER HERO, UNFORTUNATELY, IS JUST A LEGEND.
They say we're all marked for death.
The day we're going to meet our people.
But that's bullshit!
It wasn't Armadillo's time.
No one was more badass and more loyal than this fucker.
He pissed me off sometimes, sure.
But he had his style, his way of life.
And this bastard
deserves our respect and admiration!
-Fuck yeah! -Fuck yeah!
His death forces our hand, get ready!
-For Armadillo! -For Armadillo!
Your death will not be in vain, my man.
And the most important part...
we're going to avenge him!
-Fuck yeah! -Fuck yeah!
And we're going to do it
by being the sickest army in the north!
-Fuck yeah! -Fuck yeah!
Fuck yeah, guys!
Northern Coalition, Tule.
We're going to get them all.
But for that to happen,
I need loyal motherfuckers.
Badasses.
So I want to introduce you
to your new lieutenant.
Congratulations, Chacho.
To die is to be reborn.
-Fuck yeah! -Fuck yeah!
Well...
this is a real funeral, Cima.
The dude was tough,
he was good,
it wasn't his time.
Hey, hey, easy, easy.
We're partners, right?
If that's how you take care of your sister,
we're screwed.
Where the fuck were you?
Burying your grandma?
The fucking nahual arrived.
You heard that... the monster was in town, right?
If not for Luci,
he had some balls.
He rescued her.
Why the fuck didn't the monster kill you?
She got lucky.
Or maybe it's in love with the girl too,
like everyone else.
Chacho.
My grandmother died
while the monster was dragging me.
It's time to say goodbye to the past.
We'll catch it.
Shorty?
No, it's Arturo.
Where's my shorty?
Joe is still out there, but I think...
I think I brought everything I could.
Do you think it'll come?
If it came for me, it'll come for him.
The monster needs bait.
Chacho, how's it going over there?
There's nothing here, boss.
-Isidro. -Yes, sir.
Take your people around the corner, move it.
Let's go!
And fucking Tule, where the fuck is he?
That bastard should be here by now.
He may not be punctual, but he always arrives.
Is he your friend?
I don't have any friends.
No way this is all we have to face the narcos.
Fucking hell, it looks like we're going to hunt lizards.
We're screwed.
Alert, assholes!
Stay alert!
-There it is! -Follow it, motherfuckers.
Up there!
Isidro, behind you!
Over there on the corner!
Everyone move back!
-There it is! There it is! -There it is!
It didn't go that way, it went this way.
It's on the church, boss!
Come on, assholes!
What are you waiting for, assholes!
What the hell is going on?
-No, it's up there! -Up there!
Up there, shoot him!
Shoot the bastard, don't let it escape.
You've got it, you've got it!
The fucking door, assholes!
Up there, move!
Shorty?
-Shorty! -Love.
I'm fine.
And Cóyotl?
LIBRARY
Boss, that fucking dog disappeared right in front of...
Shut the fuck up.
If fucking Armadillo were alive,
that fucking dog would be dead.
So grow some fucking balls!
I'm surrounded by idiots, fuck!
You say you got balls?
You're scared shitless.
Get this through your heads!
Here...
we're the fucking monsters!
Stay on your toes, guys.
We're going to split up.
Isidro,
take your people to the right.
Yes, sir, to the right.
Lolo,
take your people from behind.
Let's go.
No.
The fuckers from El Centro
don't have the balls for this shit.
You stay outside, motherfuckers.
Watch the perimeter.
-Yes, boss. -Move the fuck out, now!
-Come here. -Let's go, let's go!
-Come on. -Come on, assholes.
Get the fuck up, assholes!
Let's catch that fucking monster!
Come on!
That bastard won't come out of here alive.
It's closed, shit.
GIVE UP THE MONSTER
-Shit. -Shit, what's that?
-Let's go. -There's the bastard!
Get it!
I already saw it!
START THE PLAN SEND THE PLANE
PERFECT
SEE YOU IN ACAPULCO
GÜERO, DO YOUR PART THEY'RE ALL YOURS
People of El Centro, watch your balconies, windows.
Don't let that bastard come out!
Chacho, watch my left, distribute your fucking people.
-Everyone else, to the right. -Occupy the perimeter.
Watch every fucking corner!
That fucking monster won't get out of here alive!
Orders from Tule, let's go, assholes!
Where the fuck are you going, motherfucker?
Get the fuck out of here!
I don't need bitches anyway!
GOODBYE, NORTH EL TULE
The fucking north.
Hey, there it is!
Careful!
Come on, bastards!
Give it your all!
Cover me!
Fire!
Attack!
We're fucked up!
-Fire! -Stay alert, assholes!
Move on! Move on!
-Move on! Move on! -To your positions!
-Go to hell! -There it is! Fire!
Don't give up, Cóyotl!
Move it, they're shooting at us!
Turn around, dude!
On your left!
Shoot it, motherfuckers!
I don't see how I' can help here, Major.
I want the criminals to see us arrive together.
Very romantic, but...
I don't think it's a good idea.
What the fuck happened here?
Shit.
Are you telling me it's true about the monster?
What's going on?
You told me they were rumors,
-that it was intelligence work. -I don't know, Major,
I'm in the same boat.
But I do know that what we saw out there can ruin us.
And I'm not the asshole
who goes out to talk to the media about a monster.
What about you? Are you going to tell the general?
Are you going to tell the Governor or what?
I understand your point!
What we can do is say that together,
the army and the government...
we have cleaned La Moneda.
Just look, it's the new north.
That slogan is worth gold.
When I'm governor,
-you'll see... -Governor.
Things are starting to make sense.
Yes, Major, this is my chance and I'm not going to pass it up.
And something tells me you won't either.
Come take a piss with me.
Go get the lieutenant, look for him.
No, sir, it's out of order.
Don't bother me, Heriberto!
Everyone thinks that girl is a tease,
but the truth is, she's more bitchy than pretty.
Where's Tule?
-It's not working. -Can't you clean this shit up?
-Damn! -Yes, no, but...
-No, this doesn't work either. -This doesn't work either?
-Fuck me. -And Tule?
What about Tule, Major?
Well, that's what I'm wondering.
What we need are new friends for the new north.
The new friends I'm worried about
are the ones like you.
And you don't think the little lady will back down
and end up betraying us?
She did her part, but I don't know her.
That's secondary, Major,
she did her part.
That chick screwed the coalition in one swoop.
And now she's back,
to North Swiss, well, the new north.
And what did she ask for to risk so much?
Safety?
Who, Jenni?
No, I think that chick already lost all fear.
She wants the ranch.
-Don Neto's. -Yeah.
Fuck...
Lieutenant!
They're gone, I'm going to open up.
Did you know about Jenni, motherfucker?
No, I swear.
Get me out of here.
Here are the keys to Güero's truck.
Let's go, follow me.
Doña Esperanza,
I know Lupe as if I had given birth to him.
And I am sure that he's not there.
No one dares to enter that place.
-They say it's sacred. -It's a mystical place.
His grandfather lives there.
He's the only one who can help him.
Are we going to the middle of the desert?
But save him from what?
He disappeared in the town square.
Why would he be there?
Lupe can transport his body to where the shaman is.
And save him from that damn curse.
Witchcraft!
Well, I'm out.
No, no, it's not that. It's not that.
Let's hope he's there
or we'll lose him forever.
It's the truck from the town square.
Follow it, motherfucker.
Fuck yeah, boss.
About time you shed a tear.
I thought you didn't have a heart.
Nothing a nice bath won't wash away, Becky.
For better... or worse.
Boss.
Come on.
Hold on.
You guys can't go in.
Why all the hubbub if...
Right?
Let me know.
Did you know Lupe could do that?
Dimensional travel...
Pretty sick.
Don't look at me like that, you wouldn't understand.
Shut up, asshole.
No worries.
What do we do?
Should we go?
-No. -Don't be scared.
I'm not scared but... she said we couldn't go in.
Hey! Lupita!
Güero.
What, are we becoming friends?
Drink up, friend.
This is good.
Güero...
It's being reported to me that...
they did not find Cimarrón among the bodies.
And apparently they saw him in your truck.
I'm only going to ask you once.
Do you know anything about this?
My job was to warn you
and yours was to kill him.
Why don't you ask your idiot soldiers, damn it!
My men do what they can!
Did you help them escape?
And what good would that do me?
Cut the bullshit, Major, with all due respect.
You started this mess.
The new north turned out to be a bloodbath.
Look,
this is the only chance you're going to have
to get rid of all the assholes.
No secrets,
from the government or from the army.
Think it over.
Fucking hell!
He can't be alive!
Only animals drink like that.
Don Neto.
You're a man.
You're alive.
What are you doing here?
Fishing.
I think I'm done with hunting.
And it looks
like you're going fishing with me soon.
I know I failed you.
I kill like them.
We all fail,
it comes with the ranch.
You do evil
so the good may live.
You are the only one defending this land.
Which you have learned to love,
respect...
And soon they may shoot you up like me.
But honor this land,
die as a man.
Not as an animal.
Where is my son?
He's not your son anymore.
He is a child of this land,
he belongs to her,
to the creek bed.
Save him, bring him back.
He is now a nahual.
He's going to complete his cycle.
He's Lupe.
He's not a monster.
His fate is not up to me.
He is the protector of this land.
It's our law.
He has learned.
He will accomplish his mission.
You're next.
Fulfill your mission.
More.
No more,
never.
I saw how you did it.
I'm going to save him with your help or without it.
Running away with your son...
you took away our people's guardian.
You still found him and turned him into a nahual!
He was a happy kid
and now he's dying!
No one escapes their destiny.
He wouldn't be a monster if he hadn't taken that!
Tell me what else I have to use to save him.
You can't give him more.
You know what happens.
He will become an animal.
I'm going to be with him.
Help him get his life back,
he's a good boy.
You're right!
No one escapes their destiny!
Don't move
or I'll blow this fucking Chinaman's head off.
Northerner.
Let me see if I got this right.
This fucking old man
transformed some townsperson into a monster?
What is all this? Is it witchcraft?
Are you sorcerers or what the fuck?
Don't play with these things.
No, ma'am,
I'm not playing.
So, Chacho.
Would you like to be one of those?
A fucking monster?
Well... it's just...
I can't do that to my mom.
Otherwise, with pleasure.
Shit.
More for me.
So let's cut the bullshit
and tell me if this fucking old man
can transform me into a beast.
I will never give him kuriyó.
What the fuck did you say?
Tell me what the fuck you said.
Last chance, old man.
Those who know me
know that I throw away whatever isn't useful to me.
So I'm going to blow this fucking lady's head off.
Don't!
You are the guardian of the Cóyotl.
Don't do it.
They go,
I turn you into nahual.
But there can't be two nahuales in the same land.
Hey, mister, you better tell me in Spanish.
Because I don't understand that shit.
Cóyotl will have to face you.
There can only be one guardian on this land.
You will have to choose a land to defend.
Leave.
No, lady.
I'm not going anywhere.
The north is mine.
If he makes you a nahual,
you will have to defend your heart.
Or you will become the beast.
Then I'll become the beast.
So, is it a deal?
What's up, Chacho?
What will Jenni think
when she sees me turned into a fucking monster.
Chamana.
From now on,
the tradition will depend on you.
Hey, that's enough.
Get out of here,
before I regret it.
We have a deal, old man.
Careful.
Are you OK?
-Are you OK? -Yeah.
You sure, boss?
What?
Just like that?
No singing, dancing and all that shit?
Drink.
Sure.
Cheers.
This shit isn't working.
I don't feel shit...
What did you give him?
Chato, we're leaving, let's go!
Hey, hey, Chato.
Dad.
We have to get to town as soon as possible.
Delicious, as always, Doña Lola, thank you.
Thank you.
We have to think
about the nahual or that thing...
What are we going to say to the media?
I'll take care of that, Major.
Thank you, Heriberto,
but last time you screwed me over.
I'll take care of it myself.
What the hell?
Now what?
Look,
people of La Moneda,
you have to be prepared,
because shit is out of hand.
And tell your superior
that you have to take out all the artillery
and mark the perimeter
because this is going to get ugly.
What are you talking about, Chinaman?
What Joe means is
everyone go home and lock yourselves inside.
Cimarrón is becoming a mon...
A fucking nahual.
Like the Cóyotl,
-but the asshole version. -And how is that possible?
That doesn't matter.
What matters is that he's coming here.
Well, everyone, get ready.
Come on, you know what you have to do.
And everyone else to your homes.
Do you want me to help you?
Amy, what are you doing here?
Why aren't you with your siblings?
Yes, I want you to help me,
bring some candles.
We don't have much time.
Hey!
Becky!
Becky, where is Jenni?
I think she's taking a bath.
Fuck!
You better calm down.
Don't touch that chick.
Her nor any other.
Get out of here, girl.
Get out of here!
Go on.
Shit.
We're finally dead, Grandpa.
Mother...
Let's go.
I don't know what I'm doing, son.
Chamana.
Watch out for anything that moves!
Watch this flank here!
We don't know what's over there.
You know what we're up against.
Stay grouped together, damn it.
Come on, hurry up.
Two words: Narco nahual.
There's before
-the synthetic drugs and after... -Shut up.
-You're making me nervous. -Yes, and shut up!
You've obviously never tried peyote.
-Come on, motherfuckers! -Shoot him!
-Come on! -Let's go!
What is that, Heriberto?
The monster, Mr. Mayor.
Nobody move!
-Nobody run! -OK, boss.
Fire!
Attack!
Stop that motherfucker!
-Don't move! -Come on, dude!
It's your time, Garza.
Hey, Sheep!
Fuck yeah!
-Is that the one from earlier? -No, it's another one.
Are you OK?
To the Dragon, everyone.
Quick!
The north is mine.
Unit two, in position.
Shoot, shoot, shoot!
Withdraw!
-Let's go! -Everyone draw back, let's go!
Lupe.
What the hell?
Where are they?
-Where the hell are they? -I don't know.
You're dead.
This is my territory!
Where is he?
We don't know anything.
Cóyotl!
The north belongs to no one.
And I am its guardian.
Wait!
I've thought about it and I'm not selling them to you.
Forgive me, little baby, I won't drink again.
Well, at least for a while.
What happened, did you kill the monsters?
What's that?
It's Cimarrón's.
Did you like the video?
It's alright, I mean, the Governor looks
very manly with that belt in his hand.
And you, pig? Did you like yourself?
Well, as long as I'm next to the governor,
I'd say I look safe.
What do you need? What did you come here for?
Nothing, to tell my partner Tule that everything is OK.
Yeah, everything's OK, boss.
Just... when the dust settles...
-we'll start. -If I can help with anything,
it goes without saying that I am at your service.
And, by the way, Mayor.
The question you asked me, the answer is no.
I still don't have everything I want.
And what do you want?
What everyone wants.
The north.
Let's go, let's go.
Looks like someone's coming.
Just remember,
whatever happens...
don't be afraid.
So, Melitón?
When will you do a song about me?
IN LOVING MEMORY OF MANUEL PONCELIS. FAREWELL, DEAR SHAMAN (1954-2024)
