Dialogue

[Reveal trailer: In the Hotel Paraiso in Esperanza, Yara, Diego Castillo works on a model car listening to an MP3 player when his father Antón, the President of Yara, enters.]

Antón Castillo: It's beautiful, mijo. Perfect... but useless. I have something for you, Diego. Give me your hands.

[Diego does so, and Antón places a live hand grenade in his hands.]

Diego Castillo: Papá, I--

Antón: Now... the grenade is simple. It has four basic parts: The shell, which contains the explosive; the fuse; the handle; and of course... the pin.

[Antón pulls the pin and clasps Diego's hands tightly around the grenade.]

Diego: What are you doing?

Antón: Breathe, Diego. Breathe. The pin simply holds the handle in place. It is only when you let go that this grenade goes "boom". Follow me. [Diego hesitates] Now.

[Diego stands up and follows his father; outside, fighting is going on in the streets.]

Antón: I am el Presidente. Which means that someday, you will be el Presidente. And our people, they do not know how to be happy. They are torn apart by opinions, noise, indecision. Strangled by their own freedoms. And even if you have love in your heart, even if you want what's best for them, if you only want to save them from themselves...

[Antón leads Diego onto the hotel's roof.]

Antón: They will hate you, Diego. Everything you say, do, believe, will be wrong.

[Diego nearly trips on a power cable, but clutches the grenade tight; Antón lights a cigar and beckons Diego to join him on the roof's edge.]

Antón: They will answer you with screams. Call you "evil". A "monster". And give you this.

[Antón turns the grenade over in Diego's hands, showing "muerte a Castillo" ("death to Castillo") on the other side of the shell.]

Antón: So you tell me: Are you evil? [Diego shakes his head] Are you a monster? [another head shake] Because our country is like this grenade, except it has two basic parts: Our people... and you. And you must clutch them nice and tight, or we all... go... boom. Do you understand now? [Diego nods] Prove it.

[End of intro mission: Refugees fleeing Yara are gathered in the hold of the fishing boat San Judas; a teenage boy in a hoodie approaches Dani Rojas, the player character.]

Teenager: Gracias.

Dani Rojas: Don't worry about it, chamaco.

Teenager: Here. [hands Dani a rare baseball card] It's all I've got.

Lita Torres: This isn't right, Dani. We should be fighting, not running to the Yanquis.

Dani: Alejo gave you a fucking gift, Lita. We survive. Same as the orphanage. Same as the academy. [the boat suddenly stops]

Lita: What was that? [sounds can be heard above deck]

Fisherman: Please, no, no, this is a fishing boat. Dios mio, no, no!

[A single gunshot silences the fisherman. Heavy footsteps can be heard on the deck above... and then Antón Castillo himself enters the hold, followed by his right-hand man, General Raúl "Old Dog" Sánchez.]

Antón: Before he was el Presidente, mi papá loved to fish. We would go out on a boat just like this. And we would catch the fish and then... release them. He would say, "It's not always about your stomach, mijo. It's about the challenge!" Except... when he caught a big, fat, juicy marlin. [laughs] He was too proud to let that fish go-- [an old woman steps forward]

Nanny: Sick tirano! You have poisoned Yara! You have poisoned your son! [General Sánchez immediately shoots her in the head]

Antón: I have caught a very big fish today... haven't I, Diego? [beat] DIEGO!

[The teenager in the hoodie steps forward... revealed as Antón's son Diego]

Lita: No way.

Antón: I have caught you, mijo. Now it's time to bring you home.

Diego: I don't want this anymore, papá.

Antón: We have no choice.

Diego: Let them go. They can work, make Viviro--

Antón: Truth, or lies?

Diego: Truth.

Antón: They could be good workers. They could help rebuild paradise! [in a low, venomous tone] But if you wanted them to live, you would have never set foot on this fucking boat. [louder, cheerfully, to the others] Thirteen years old, and Diego has such compassion for his people. These fish, we will catch... [to Sánchez, ominously] ...and release.

[Sánchez nods, and follows the Castillos up onto the deck; a moment later, the lights go out.]

Lita: What the hell just happened?

Dani: I think we're fucked.

[As the refugees begin panicking, Castillo's troops fire through the hull, sinking the boat...]

[San Pablo Church, Esperanza: Antón and Diego are alone with the flag-draped coffin of Antón's nephew José, killed by guerrillas.]

Antón: You want to confess, confess.

Diego: Why are we here? You never even liked José.

Antón: Why?

Diego: He was an asshole.

Antón: Why?

Diego: [thinks a moment] He was weak.

Antón: Mi papá had a saying, "God gives victory to the lions."

Diego: Sounds religious.

Antón: Mi papá loved Jesús. He would always say Jesús would make an amazing Yaran presidente. "Mi Antón! Always remember, Jesús was both the lion and the lamb. Rule with strength but understand suffering."

Diego: You believe that?

Antón: After he was murdered, your grandmother and I were left to survive alone. She would always remind me of my father's obsession with that verse. She hated it.

Diego: Why?

Antón: Because he had it all wrong. Be the lion and the lamb? No. She would say, "Antón, there are lions, and there are lambs. Rule, or be ruled. A Castillo must be a lion. For Yara is full of lambs."

Diego: You don't talk about her.

[As they talk, soldiers pour gasoline inside the chapel.]

Antón: She was always strong, smart, powerful, but a woman in Yara, and in those days, she had the wrong skin to lead. [takes a draw from his cigar, then rises] Mi papá was a lamb.

Diego: José was a lamb.

Antón: Hmm. You want to know why we're here? You are a lion. [coldly] And we eat the fucking lambs.

[Antón tosses his cigar into the gas-drenched chapel, setting it ablaze, before leading Diego out.]

[Final mission: During the siege of Esperanza, Dani confronts the Castillos in the Torre del León, the presidential palace.]

Antón: Last lesson, mijo. There is one thing in life that will always be true. Do you know what that is?

Diego: Death.

Antón: Sí. [kisses Diego's forehead and hugs him close, then looks to Dani] You will protect him. From your friends. From the monsters.

Dani: He'll be safe. I promise.

[Antón looks pleased for a moment... then his expression becomes cold.]

Antón: Lies. [shoots Diego in the chest]

Dani: Diego! No...!

[Antón pulls his tobacco pruning knife from his belt and slits his own throat, falling dead to the floor. Dani kneels next to Diego.]

Dani: Everything's gonna be alright! Don't move, chamaco!

Diego: It-- [coughs] It's okay, Dani.

Dani: Don't talk.

Juan Cortez: [over the radio] You smell that? That's the stink of fucking victory!

Dani: Juan, he shot Diego in the fucking chest!

Juan: Oh, you gotta be kidding me. Forget the kid, Dani!

Dani: Fuck you! He's bleeding out!

Teresa "Lucky Mama" Moreno: Is he hit in the heart, Dani? Is he breathing?

Dani: Lucky, I don't know, there's too much blood!

Paolo de la Vega: Don't move, Dani, we're coming up!

Dani: Come on, Diego. Stay with me, chamaco.

Diego: [wheezing] It's okay. It--it's okay, Dani. You were the lucky one.

Dani: No, no...

[The other rebel leaders enter, Lucky Mama in front.]

Lucky Mama: Move, Dani!

[Lucky kneels next to Diego, checking his vitals and performing CPR. Paolo kicks Antón's foot, as if to see if he's really dead.]

Dani: What's happening, Lucky?

[Lucky shushes Dani. Camilla "Espada" Montero picks up Antón's pistol; La Moral leader Yelena Morales knocks over part of the Esperanza model with her AK-47; and Juan helps himself to the presidential cigar box.]

Camilla "Espada" Montero: I don't want to be the one to say this, but... what do we do now?

Paolo: Yara needs a leader until we can hold elections.

Yelena Morales: There's only one person I trust in this room.

Espada: You better not say yourself.

Paolo: Yara is yours, Dani.

[Dani does not answer, looking instead at Diego and Lucky.]

Lucky Mama: Lo siento.

Dani: [bows their head] No, it's not. I'm not a politician. Clara was. Maybe you are. [lifts Diego's body off the floor and rises] The only reason we are standing here is we didn't wait for one person to solve all our problems. "When tyranny is law... revolution is order."

Yelena: Where are you going?

Dani: Yara is yours. Don't fuck it up.

[Epilogue: Juan pours some rum over the grave of Libertad leader Clara García, killed by Antón before his downfall. Dani approaches, and he pours a cup.]

Juan: To fallen heroes.

Dani: To her Yara.

[Both drink; Juan tosses the empty bottle aside.]

Juan: You know, Dani, there's never gonna be an election.

Dani: There's plenty of Castillo's friends out there who want to make sure of that. You want to go hunting?

Juan: [grins] It's like I'm looking in a fucking mirror.

Dani: "Once a guerrilla..."

Juan: "...always a guerrilla." I ever tell you the story of the time Santos smuggled me into Uganda so I could steal him a goddamn zebra?

Dani: Yes.

Juan: Angry motherfuckers, but that didn't stop me, Dani. Just gives me confidence.

[Post-credits (audio only): Juan approaches a Libertad-allied smuggler, implied to be Vaas Montenegro from Far Cry 3...]

Juan: Libertad thanks you for your support. And I come bearing good news. Our Viviro supply has tripled.

Smuggler: Ah. You know, it's so sad about that Castillo kid. I mean, what his papá did. Wow. That is crazy.

Juan: Mhm. A tragedy.

Smuggler: [laughs] Well, you know some people are just sick in the mind, hermano. They're out of control.

Juan: Same time next week.

Smuggler: [laughs again] Oh, you can bet your life on it.
