"I kept trying to warn you that I'm not a good man… But my relationship with the Zetas is more complicated than you might think it is…
In all honesty, I owe the Zetas a debt that they don't want paid for with cold hard cash, they would rather me pay this off through a very specific kind of work… And because of that I have little choice but to entertain them.

Any job that results in the harm of innocents is something I am not required to take part in. And because of that, I only accept jobs that directly target the enemies of the Zetas.
