\*\*Who makes these things anyway ?  
Where’s the early bird when you need him ?  
That’s gonna heal funny.  
I love the smell of cordite. That sulfury smell…  
Take that you harpy !  
Say _goodnight_ Mr Diaz.  
I’m an ambitious girl and you, you’re small time.  
But I _am_ dead.  
Stronger and stronger !  
Human beings. So stubborn. So _weak_.  
It meant we were dead.  
There was only _me_.  
Then you shall die knowing the truth.  
Kesho !!  
I am Dionisio Vega. Welcome…to my domain. \*\*

1.) Correct

2.) No, but it is a ‘2’. Hint : The game was based on a movie that itself did not have a sequel.
