Machete travels to San Antonio, where he meets handler and beauty contestant Blanca Vasquez. At Acapulco he looks for Cereza, who tin can lead him to Mendez, but is attacked by brothel madam Desdemona, who is Cereza'southward mother. As Mendez's honey virgin, Cereza warns Machete'due south nigh Mendez's split personality. Equally they travel to Mendez's headquarters, Mendez'southward enforcer Zaror receives a call from Mendez, and shoots Cereza.

Machete and Mendez evade the assilants, only to be caught by a reborn Zaror and the masked mercenaries who killed Sartana. Zaror decapitates Mendez, and Machete is riddled with bullets.

Machete wakes upwardly to find himself in a healing tank. He meets man of affairs and weapons inventor Luther Voz, who has kept Mendez'southward beating heart preserved in a jar. Voz shares his programme to manipulate extremists throughout the globe to fire nuclear weapons at each other, to escape to an orbiting space station to rebuild society in space, and to have Machete succeed Zaror every bit a paradigm for his army of cloned enforcers. Machete escapes the facility, meeting up with his one-time comrade Luz, who then refers him to Osiris, a onetime enemy who has since joined Luz'south network and could maybe disarm the device.

Machete contacts Vasquez to update her on progress, but is betrayed and ambushed at their meeting since Vasquez has sided with Voz. Machete follows her to the desert by jumping on her vehicle's rooftop, simply is thrown off.
