El Mariachi (1992) Edit

A killer and a mariachi.

A mobile phone and the protection that prison offers.

A motorcycle.

Against three armed men?

AII I wanted was my share. But you have to kill everyone.

AII in just one day.

All I wanted was to be a mamiachi like my ancestoms.

And a good one.

And him.

And if I don't call, you'II kill me, right?

And stole my girl!

Are you sure it's okay for me to sleep here?

As Iong as you stay on your side.

Ask your friend to tell Moco that there's two of us.

Azul always wears black and carries a guitar case.

Bartender...A beer.

Bartender...A beer.

Bmought only a cumse.

Bring him around.

But business is business. It would have been cheaper for me

But I need steady work.

But if it's not... we're gonna mess you up real bad.

But not anymore.

But the town I thought would bming me luck

But with the dog... and the weapons...

But you really killed ten.

But...it's not a guitar.

Call this number. His name is Azul.

Can he?

Carrying a guitar case?

Cheers.

Dead? AII of them?

Domino...Has anyone strange come around here?

Don't carry your guitar around until it's over.

Don't worry, Moco.

Don't you even want to Iook?

Dressed in black?

Excuse me, but could you Ieave a deposit?

Fmee coconuts... I was beginning to like this city.

Four men.

Get me out of here and give me my share of the money.

Give me the phone.

Give me the phone. I have to call Moco.

Good moming, Azul.

Good morning. Take this.

Goodbye. Thanks for the drink.

Hang in there.

He could have.

He doesn't want to kill you. His men confused you with Azul.

He got away, but I got a good Iook at him.

He Iet me work in his bar. Then he gave me the bar.

He killed Pina and Taco. He won't get away again. I promise.

He owns the place.

He thinks he can convince me.

He uses it on his victims.

He wants me to drive it to his ranch when I decide to give myself to him.

He's bad news. I didn't get a good Iook at him.

He's wearing black. Find him!

Hi, it's Domino.

Hide your jacket and case until this passes over.

His name is...Moco.

His name's Mauricio, but they call him Moco.

Hold this.

How did you know?

How Iong ago?

Hurry up!

I always wanted to be a mamiachi.

I came acmoss a turtle on the highway.

I can't get it open.

I can't.

I don't Iook anything Iike him.

I don't know. But he's killing the men who work for a drug dealer.

I don't know. She hangs around with a musician.

I have to get my money at the hotel.

I have to hang up.

I just killed four men.

I just saw a guy with a case Iike mine. It's him they want.

I killed six. Tomorrow I'II double the body count.

I knew half was yours. I got carried away. But you...

I know you're doing business from your cell with some Ioyal men,

I know.

I lost my guitam, my hand and hem.

I may nevem be able to play the guitam again.

I need a cheap room for the week.

I need a place to stay until this passes over.

I planned to follow theim footsteps to the end. Die with my guitam.

I play ballads, Iove songs... A few originals.

I play ballads, Iove songs... A few originals.

I played fmom town to town, picking up expemience.

I see a white suit, soaked with blood.

I was greedy.

I will!

I won't forget that you've been a big part of our triumph.

I won't. He will.

I work for next to nothing.

I work for next to nothing. I Iive mostly from tips.

I'II be right back.

I'II be right back.

I'II be up Iater. Then we'II call a friend of mine.

I'm a mariachi. A good one.

I'm a musician. I can't drink or smoke.

I'm coming.

I'm Iooking for an old friend.

I'm Iooking for work. Can I pay you Iater?

I'm not from here. I don't know anyone.

I'm sending some friends to get you.

I'm sorry he used you to get to me.

I'm sorry.

I'm still here. And so are your friends. But not for Iong.

I've got a room up there. Don't touch anything.

I've never asked you for anything until now. Let him go.

I've saved this up. Buy a new guitar.

Idiot...

If he changes his disguise I won't recognise him.

If his name is Azul, why doesn't he wear blue?

If I stay here? No. Just until I find permanent work.

If I'd paid you. Now I have to find ten more men.

If it's a guitar, you can go.

If you see someone dressed in black, with a guitar case...

If you want to earn a real Iiving, get yourself a real instrument.

If you want to see your mariachi, come with me.

In a bottle.

In a bottle.

In a few days.

Is that true?

It was a gift.

It's a case full of weapons.

It's a guitar case full of weapons.

It's him!

It's his thing.

It's true.

Just Iike the Moco I used to know.

Let her go. I'II give you your money.

Let's go.

Like my fomefathems.

Look!

Made me feel this place would bming good luck.

Make me a map to Moco's place.

Mauricio gave me flowers.

Mauricio!

Moco doesn't talk to just anyone. It's best to stay in.

Moco? The guy who wants me dead?

Moco...He got away.

My case got switched with some stupid mariachi's.

My friend...You haven't answered the phone all day.

My voice is my Iife.

Next to the turtle, of coumse.

No change.

No enemies...

No love, no luck.

No mide.

No tengo amigos...

No, not there. Room ten.

No. He told me the man in black is named Azul.

Not much. I only have a few pesos.

One moment.

One thing I know. He always carries a guitar and dresses in black.

Open the door or she's dead!

Pay me room and board.

Pay up, or I'II soak your clothes with her blood.

PIay along.

PIay!

PIay!

PIay! Sing!

PIaying your Iittle guitar... Not anymore!

Ready to play? We're waiting for you.

Remember, I have this...

Scumbag...

She's the owner? Then she must be Moco's girl.

Sing!

Six. I've only killed six.

So go find my case!

Soda? Are you a Iittle boy, or what?

Something temporary, so you can play tonight.

Soon, Azul. Soon.

Sorry... How much can you give me?

Sounds like you, doesn't it?

Still wearing white?

Strange people always come here.

Sweet dreams.

Take it.

Take it. I didn't say to buy the best one...

Technology has cmushed us...

Thank you. I'II never forget this.

Thanks.

Thanks.

Thanks.

That momning was just like any othem.

That was nice of you, you pig!

That was the best I ever played.

That's fine. Have a nice day. Thanks.

That's more Iike it. Just Iike the Moco I used to know.

That's not him.

That's right.

That's why you hung up on me Iast night.

That's why you'II never be as big as me.

The first song you played... It was an original, wasn't it?

The fmee coconut at the edge of town

Then how did you get this bar?

Then jewellery.

Then why come here? So they can kill me, too?

There!

There's no work for you, either.

They have something they want to scream to you. Listen close.

They think I'm someone else. I'm just a mariachi.

They went to find you. She gave the case back to him.

This is a Ietter opener.

This is my thanks?

This song is called Ganas de Vivir.

This town was my next stop.

Throwing a party without me?

Tumned us into machines.

Understand?

Wait, Domino. It was self defence.

Watch my things.

Watch out for my pit bulls.

We heard you were caught and taken to Moco's ranch.

We weme both taking oum time getting to wheme we weme going.

We'II find him, kill him, and feed him to the dogs.

We'II have to see this through.

We'II see...

Well...

What did you do with him?

What do you have there?

What does he Iook Iike?

What happened to the days when guitamists weme gods?

What happened, mariachi? Too much soda?

What I didn't know was that my time was munning out.

What the hell is going on?

What the hell is this? Mariachi day?

What was the Iast thing he gave you?

What?

What's going on, Moco?

What's wrong?

What's wrong?

Where is he?

Where's my case?

Why would I want one mariachi when I have a whole band?

With that musician's hands all over you!

Without hem, I have no love.

Yeah, pay me Iater.

Yes?

Yes.

Yes...

You are a mariachi.

You don't trust me?

You feel sorry for her, don't you?

You have too much heart.

You inspired me.

You know how it is. When you want to win a girl

You know it. So help me out...my friend.

You must be the mariachi who came to my town and killed my men.

You owe me a fortune. In here I make peanuts.

You said you killed four men.

You say you're poor.

You see? I only pay one guy and I have a whole mariachi band.

You send her flowers, candy, jewellery...

You weme busy killing ten of my men.

You were always bad at math. You thought it was all for you.

You won't find work in this town, but okay.

You'II need a better sense of humour if you plan to work for me.

You'II repeat it to me when I visit you.

You're very talented.

Anything else? My guitar case.

Aren't you gonna call your boss? Give me a drink first.

Boyfriend? No.

Can I get you anything? No, thanks.

Did you find my case? We didn't find it.

Do you know who this is? Moco...

Domino, Iet's go! She's gone.

Don't tell me you're a mariachi. Yes, I am.

Dressed in black, guitar case? No.

From who? Mauricio.

Give me my money or she's dead! After all I've done for you...

Gringo? Yeah.

Have you tried the motorcycle? No.

He didn't say anything? No, he only drank.

Hello, Domino. What is it?

Hello. What can I get you? A beer.

I can get out... No...Finish up.

I got you where you are. Should I really get you out?

I said not to touch anything. I was trying to relax.

I swear I'II kill her! You won't kill her.

Is it him? I'm not sure.

Isn't there a girl who works here? She's the owner. She'II be back.

It's been years. What do you want? I'm a few towns away...

It's the other guy they want. I better put it upstairs.

My friend knows what's going on. Did you mention me?

Or is it 'cause I Iost my guitar? I'm closed Mondays.

PIease... I don't feel so good.

Say something! Moco!

So what do they want with me? Only Moco has seen him before.

So you know him? Of course, we work for him.

Sorry... We didn't know what to do.

Then hire me. I can't. I have no money.

Upstairs. Go get it.

Wait! What's your name? Domino.

Want some shampoo? Yes, thanks.

We came to see if it was true. They got the mariachi.

We thought you could handle it. You thought I could handle it?

What can I get you? A beer.

What can I get you? A soda.

What do I care? I could add class to the place.

What is it? It's not a guitar.

What'II it be? A soda.

Where is he? Sometimes he's here.

Where were you when he came in? I was on the phone with a friend.
