The three wishes were exactly in order and tied in directly with what happened earlier in the episode.

Wish 1...Wants wife back/kills for medicine.

Wish 2...Wants to avoid hell/asks priest to forgive his sins.

Wish 3...Wants to live forever/priest told him he didn't have time to make up for his sins.

From memory, so no exact quotes but the exchange was...

Ricardo: Can you bring my wife back?
Jacob: No can do.
Ricardo: Can you absolve me of my sins so I don't got to Hell?
Jacob: That's a negative
Ricardo: Then I want to live forever.

I'm 99% sure that last one IS an exact quote, the "then" being the key. He realized what dying meant - not seeing his wife, and going to hell. Without a way out of that, living forever was a better choice than death, even as he knew that living forever would be its own torture.

I wonder how that episode sounded to native Spanish speakers. Because I barely needed the subtitles - which means it was a whole lot of Spanish 1, because my Spanish is NOT that good anymore. The dialog must have sounded pretty cheeseball to a native speaker.

Some of the native speakers on another board (*cough* televisionwithoutpity *cough*) complemented it for being easy to understand. Apparently, a lot of Spanish on TV is spoken with terrible gringo accents...

Looks like I may have been on to something. (Sorry for the gloat, it's just so rare that I get anything right.)

I have another theory. As of "Recon" (last week's episode) I think that Jacob and MiB are brothers. Does anyone know of a famous pair of brothers, one named Jacob (or something similar) who was good and the other brother evil?

Esau was a name used for MIB by a lot of people when he first appeared. And it definitely fits, what with the attempts to kill each other.

Not crazy, but Jacob is the favored son in the story.
