This video clip is a powerful scene from the movie Sicario (2015).
In this scene, CIA officer Matt Graver (played by Josh Brolin) explains the brutal reality of their mission to a horrified FBI agent, Kate Macer (played by Emily Blunt).
He explains that their goal isn't to end the drug war but to restore a controllable "order," similar to the era when the Medellín cartel was in charge. He argues that since they can't stop the demand for drugs, controlling the supply through a single, dominant entity is the only viable option.
He then reveals the true motivation of their operative, Alejandro (played by Benicio Del Toro). Alejandro is not just an asset; he's a man on a personal quest for revenge against the cartel boss who horrifically murdered his wife and daughter. He will work with anyone, including the US government, who can lead him to his target.
The dialogue is intercut with violent imagery of the cartel war, culminating in the final, tense scene where Alejandro confronts the cartel leader at his family's dinner table.
