[Mike receives a visit from Gus at the ranch where he was kept for several days]
You look much better. I am glad.
So I'm here... to see what a big heart you have. Is that the idea? You throw money at these people, they bow low.
As far as the people here are concerned, I am the doctor's friend, and nothing more.
They have no idea you financed the whole place?
I prefer it that way.
The anonymous benefactor. Oh, that must make you feel pretty good. And is that supposed to balance the scales? Make up for everything else you do?
It makes up for nothing. I am what I am.
[beat] What is this place?
Call it... a memorial.
To what? [pause] I already told you what you can do with your money. You seem like a guy who can take a hint. So what are we doing?
It seems to me that you are at a crossroads. You can continue as you are... drinking, estranged from your family, brawling with street hoods. We both know how that ends.
Yeah.
You have another choice.
Mmm... work for you as a button man.
I am in a war. I need a soldier.
So, I'm gonna work for one drug dealer killing other drug dealers. That's your idea of a choice?
You know better. You have met them. You know what they are.
Meaning the Salamancas? And you are so very different from them?
Yes. I am different.
[pause] Why me?
Because I believe that you understand.
Understand what?
Revenge.
