gunpoint

Toda su carrera, toda su vida, dependían de que consiguiera el dinosaurio, y no pensaba dejar que un desgraciado le quitara el descubrimiento a punta de cañón. Antes morir.
His whole career, his life, hung on getting that dinosaur. He wasn't going to give up his discovery to some bastard holding him hostage at gunpoint-he'd rather die.
