Fifteen.

It is a very hard age.

When I was fifteen, I killed my first man with my bare hands.

My father, the great el Monstruo,

son of El Monstruo before him, in his infinite wisdom,

left me to fend for myself in the slums of Mexico

when I was a child.

So that I would grow and learn to defend myself.

And I grew strong,

so that I could someday continue his legacy.

He was a hero of titanic structure.

Sadly, I did not inherit his enviable size.

I was the runt of the El Monstruo. I litter, an embarrassment

to my family of giants.

As such, many sought to deprive me of my birthright

in the wrestling ring.

But I was relentless in proving myself

a worthy successor in combat.

I would stop at nothing to earn my place

within the glorious Monstruo pantheon.

In my inaugural match, I faced a fearsome opponent

who was faster, bigger, and stronger than I was,

but I possessed something he did not.

RAGE!

Rage for my upbringing.

Rage for my size.

Rage for the absence of my father.

My opponent could not match it.

I tore him to pieces in the center of the ring.

This too, is how my unborn son shall

earn the mask of El Monstruo.

So...

Did my father hire you as a clown or what?

Blasphemous child.

I wear the mask of El Monstruo...

Bringer of retribution...

Hero of the Mexican people!

Sounds lame as shit.

Nevertheless...

I am here to settle a debt with your father, Wayne Hernandez.

Where is he?

Out getting propane for the grill.

Good.

I'll wait for him.

Have you decided on your one wish for tonight, little one?

I get a wish?

Of course. When you come into your womanhood...

you get one wish. It is the Aztec way.

Have to think of something good.

El Monstruo, I think I know what my wish is...

And what would that be, my child?

Don't let that fucking piece of shit asshole hit me again.

WHAT DID YOU DO?!

It is my great honor to grant you your wish

on such a special day.

I NEVER SAID SMASH HIS HEAD IN, YOU FUCKING FREAK!

I'm sorry.

One more please, one more.

That's a keeper.

Nice El Monstruo costume by the way.

This is no costume. I am the great El Monstruo,

son of El Monstruo before me.

Bullshit, El Monstruo was eight feet tall

and performed miracles!

Yes, this is me. El Monstruo.

Prove it! Sing the ballad of El Monstruo,

and cure my brother's brain tumor!

C'mon, let's see.

Monstruo?

You came!

I knew you would protect us.

My mother said "El Monstruo will help us..."

I...

am not that El Monstruo.

Eat, eat.

I NEVER eat here.

The baby must grow big and strong if he is

to become the Monstruo I am not.

We need a plan.

A plan for what, mother of my child?

Abandon Jefe Teddy? What are you talking about?

He just looked you in the eye and said "you're done."

You're using again, aren't you?

Where have you hidden your drugs?

We need money...

I would never betray Jefe Teddy!

He was the only one to help me after my crimes in the ring.

He has given me this beautiful home!

His daughter to bear my child!

And soon, she will give me a son,

heir to the grand Monstruo legacy.

You guard the door while Ted...

I thought El Monstruo...

Curse your stinging tongue, woman.

I am the champion of the downtrodden.

If it were not for me...

you would still be whoring yourself.

I forbid you.

The legacy of El Monstruo is all.

My son will be raised...

at the jaws of the wolf.

As I did.

As my father did.

As all Monstruo's have done.

You are hurting the baby!

I would never.

You dare threaten the heir to the mask?

Then I'm not safe with you, either.

Master your emotions.

You have absconded with Monstruo Nino.

But know that I shall drag you home by the nape of your neck!

This is El Monstruo.

Father.

It is I...

El Monstruo.

Son of El Monstruo.

I know that my minuscule stature has never

allowed me to live up to your legacy...

but my son shall!

My treacherous wife is poisoning my baby with her vile drugs!

Please, lead me to him.

Show me the way as a phantasm of holy justice.

The lineage of El Monstruo must never be broken!

My eyes!

Yellow pages!

Emergency!

Change, please!

Telephone!

Father, hear me.

You must lead me to Monstruo Nino.

Prove to me that the legacy is all, father.

Please.

Don't point your gun at Jefe Teddy!

Listen to me, buddy,

I'm about to lay some heavy shit on you.

You speak to me as an equal when no one else will.

Please, continue!

This knave hired us to kidnap your woman.

Had I known she carried the mighty seed of El Monstruo,

I’d have killed him where he stood!

Jefe Teddy asked you to do this?

To steal my child from me?

You bet your ass he did.

You are a good man.

AND YOU...

YOU ARE A DECEIVER!

Your friend has crossed over.

Take comfort...

his was an honorable death.

If I am to die...

I will die as a LUCHADOR!

Friends, welcome to hell.

This is where Teddy is hiding the girls.

Yes. I saved her.

Allow me to hold him please.

Monstruo?

Are you still with me?

Kaylee...

is she safe?

Yes.

You saved them.

The prostitutes... save them as well.

Of course.

I'll keep the mask safe...

until your son is old enough to take up the mantle.

No.

Do not burden him.

What about the mask?

The lineage must never be broken.

Monstruo?
