## Cinematic

There are two cinematic plays in this final chapter. One at the begining of the chapter and another one after you deafeated El Diablo.

Part 1 - John opens the door El Diablo escaped to in the previous chapter. He sees a bookshelf which starts to close and blocks a secret path behind it. He rushes to pull the bookshelf, but it shuts tightly. Soon, El Diablo appears and points a shotgun at John. John quickly fires a bullet at El Diablo, but it is actually a reflection of El Diablo on the mirror. The real El Diablo, holding a shotgun in his hand, asks John to throw away his gun. John throws the gun away from him. Knowing John cannot do anything else, El Diablo reveals that his true identity is Marshal Jackson and laughs. This provides John the opportunity to throw a blade hidden in his collar. However, the blade misses and El Diablo or Marshal Jackson shoots at John. John dodges, rolls around to pick up his gun and hides behind a tall wooden chair and Stab the Villain in the Heart. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GRVm-rHIGpI

John readjusts his hat and steps to the window. He reaches for a coin in his pockets. John bids El Diablo goodbye and throws a coin for El Diablo to buy his ticket to hell.

## Story

John followed El Diablo to a room. He opened the door and saw a bookshelf was closing. He ran and to pull it back, but it was closed. El Diablo appeared and pointed a gun at John. John quickly fired a round at El Diablo, but it turned out to be a reflection. The real El Diablo came forward and ordered John to throw away his gun. John did so, and El Diablo revealed to John that he was Deputy Jackson. El Diablo laughed and became distracted. John took this oportunity to throw another knife at Jackson, but Jackson saw it and moved his head in time. The knife landed on Jackson's chair. Jackson became angry and fired at John. John dodged, picked up his gun and hid behind a chair.

John and Jackson kept exchanging gunshot between each other. Jackson activated traps such as moving saws, gas, automatic gun and fire to kill John, but John was able to survive through all of that. When both Jackson and John ran out of bullets, Jackson opened a stairway and went down to kill John with his bare hand. Jackson was strong, and John had no chance of hitting back. John ran up to Jackson's chair and picked up a knife that was thrown earlier. He proceeded to stab him in the torso. Jackson suffered from this fatal blow, fell down on a glass window and to his death down the Red Fog. John walked up to the window and threw a coin at the pit for Jackson to buy his one-way ticket to hell.
