"THOSE WHO IGNORE THEIR HISTORY ARE CONDEMNED TO REPEAT IT." "We're back with breaking news regarding the self-proclaimed Extraditables." "We have someone claiming to be a spokesperson for this group." "May we have your name?" "This is our statement." "The Extraditables want to inform everyone that Attorney General, Mr. Carlos Mauro Hoyos, has just been executed." "The Extraditables only meant to hold the Attorney General to start talks with the government." "They've betrayed their roots and their people." "Due to continuous pressure from police forces as well as the rescue of candidate, Andres Pastrana, the Extraditables decided to execute the Attorney General." "How can we be sure you belong to that organization?" "How do we know the Attorney General is really dead?" "That's very easy." "I'll tell you exactly where to find him." "You'll find his body by the El Buitre ravine next to a big stone on the Lloromita side." "As long as the door allowing the extradition of Colombians remains open, more and more politicians will keep going down." "The war continues." "Hello?" "Can you hear me?" "Did you tell him to say that?" "That the war continues?" "I don't remember telling him that." "I can't hear you, General, but we're heading to the location that guy mentioned." "Is it far?" "We're at the exact location." "What about the Attorney General?" "Colonel?" "Colonel, why are you silent?" "Sir... it's true." "They killed the Attorney General." "Even though things didn't work out as planned, it's also true Marino did what he had to do, and like everything else in life, he should be rewarded." "Let's give Marino a hand." "Here you go, Marino." "Thank you very much." "Thank you, sir." "Thank you, guys." "I was just doing my job, boss." "I appreciate your modesty." "But I call it how I see it." "You're a warrior!" "You're a tough guy." "Thanks to your impeccable performance, today we dealt a vicious blow to the National Government." "Not only did we kidnap a mayoral candidate to the capital, but we also killed the Attorney General!" "Boss..." "I think that to reach your goal, we'll have to keep kidnapping and killing suits." "You're way off, Chili." "Way off." "That's how you keep your pockets flush with money." "No, Mr. Gonzalo..." "That's not it." "Yes, that's very much it and you'd better shut your mouth, Topo." "I like you a lot, Chili... but none of you can keep killing people just to make money." "Is that clear?" "You'd better shut up, bro." "My cousin's right." "Just like Marino said in his statement, the war continues." "But not shooting every which way." "No, sir." "Every murder, every kidnapping, every attack, every terrorist act has to be carefully planned." "We won't start improvising." "That's what we're here for, Mr. Pablo." "We have your back." "Don't think this only affects those of us the U.S. wants to extradite." "No, guys." "If you're careless, you may also end up on a DEA list." "But don't you worry." "Don't think everything you do, you do for me because you care about me and respect me, as you say." "That's not it." "This is an organization that loves you, respects you, admires you, values you, and protects you." "And that's not all." "It's an organization that'll always look after your rights." "Well said, boss." "Breaking news." "Caracol just confirmed that the body of the Attorney General has been found." "We have to make up for lost time." "The elections are around the corner..." "Dad?" "What's wrong?" "Is everything okay?" "They killed the Attorney General, son." "We want Carlos Mauro's death to be like a step forward towards change in Colombia." "Why don't you tell us how your brother was, particularly on weekends when he'd come to Medellin?" "He was very strict with work-related decisions." "Those who didn't know him well probably thought he was antisocial." "But it was exactly the opposite." "He was very cheerful and liked to dance." "He'd leave a gala to go hang out with friends." "He was very cheerful." "Have a good trip and a good week." "May the Virgin protect you." "I love you." "I love you too." "Is it true he wasn't fond of surveillance or any other type of protection?" "He'd say that if they were going to kidnap him, they'd do it even if he had ten bodyguards." "You know how it is." "I choose guitars over machine guns." "With these two guys, I have more than enough." "What we really need to do is work conscientiously." "Keep a low profile and that's it." "On your knees." "I won't do that." "It's not easy, is it?" "Are you really that evil?" "Come on, guys." "My foot really hurts." "Let's go." "Come on, bro!" "Oh, honey." "You'll give me a heart attack one of these days." "Where'd you come from?" "How can you just turn up like that?" "Oh, Lord." "You're too much." "You'll really give me a heart attack." "Where are the kids?" "They went for a ride with Grandma." "I have tachycardia." "I'm here because I've been thinking..." "Maybe you should move to Panama for some time." "You could have the doctors check our baby girl's ear." "Are Panamanian doctors better than Colombian doctors?" "I don't know, but we can see." "If I could, I'd send you to the U.S., but oh well." "No, honey." "I'm trying to get a school for Emilio around the corner." "They're going to take him." "I don't want him to keep missing school." "No, no..." "I don't think he should go to another school." "Who assures you they won't give him a hard time there?" "I don't want that for my son." "I want him to be fine." "That's why he should keep his private tutors." "You're absolutely right." "I'm sorry." "I don't know what to think anymore." "This is so hard, so complicated..." "Come here." "Hear me out." "You shouldn't worry about a thing." "You're very tough." "All you have to do is hold on a little longer." "Just a little longer." "You're through the hardest part." "Can't you hang on for the easiest part?" "We have to hang on because the war's taking longer." "Just a little longer until the government revokes the extradition treaty." "Then we'll be just fine." "Come here." "Mr. President, how many more funerals of people who dared to face drug traffickers will we have to attend?" "How can the government not do anything about it?" "You think I don't think the same thing every day?" "It's easy to criticize the government from the outside." "I've always supported the government during tough times." "But nothing happens." "We don't see any results!" "These guys keep killing people and nobody stops them." "What's going on with our intelligence?" "Since Rodrigo Lara Bonilla's murder, we've been waiting for the government to do something, but we just get more murders, more terrorist acts." "How much longer will we have to wait?" "Luis Carlos..." "I wish I could get rid of that terrible cancer that's hurting Colombia and its people." "You know how many more deaths I want to see?" "None!" "You know how many days I want to see pass before this situation gets resolved?" "Not a single day!" "We've been doing everything we can but... we have failed." "What are you saying?" "Drug trafficking won the war against our institutions?" "They haven't won, but we're definitely losing." "Galan's strategy of rejoining the ruling party to unite it was working." "Between November 18 and November 20, 1988," "Galan ended his political movement and rejoined Liberalism." "My fellow citizens, our journey continues... with the same compass, with the same destination, on a bigger ship." "Galan also said he and his party will continue with their relentless effort to help the nation's institutions recover the country's dignity, strengthen its justice, and free it from the tyranny of drug trafficking which has prevented us from being" "a fair, just, and developed country." "Major..." "How do you feel?" "I know you're going through really rough times... but I think we should thank the Lord you're still alive." "Alive?" "You think this is living?" "I didn't last a month at my post in Antioquia." "I retired before turning 45, failed the country, failed the institution, failed everyone!" "Is this living?" "I understand and share your frustration." "But this is a reality." "You have a family to keep fighting for." "General, let me carry on." "I know I can help in this war even behind a desk." "I can do something to win this war." "I assure you, the institution won't fail you." "We'll keep going until we crush Escobar." "General... you really think we'll put an end to the Medellin cartel?" "I assure you we will." "The Provincial Police, the National Police, and now the Department of State are all after you." "Hasn't anyone thought they can find you here?" "They've thought about it." "Every now and then, they stop by." "But when they're getting here, I'm already gone." "You're something else, Pablo." "The minute they leave, you pop right back!" "That's right." "We keep playing cat and mouse until the day our paths cross." "I don't want to think what would happen if they catch you here guarded by this army." "Rifles against pistols, that's what it'd be like." "We're taking too many risks here." "Tell us, Pablo." "We're all ears." "Listen, Santo..." "My friendship towards you has always been honest, selfless, ever since the day Ortiz introduced us in person." "That's right." "Well, it's time you help me." "If it is within my reach, you can count on it." "It is within your reach, Santo." "You know quite well how your corrupt congress works." "What I'll ask for doesn't require much effort." "I need you to promote a law banning the extradition of Colombians to the U.S." "That's all." "Come on, bro." "If I'm not mistaken, that guy will show up in 30 seconds." "As long as we don't have a way to tap satellite calls, we won't accomplish anything at all." "I'm getting hot." "Hot?" "That's what that guy's going to feel." "Check it out." "Hello!" "How are you?" "Fine." "And you?" "Fine, thanks." "Thank you for waiting." "I couldn't make it earlier." "I'm really sorry." "It's very important that you're here." "Yeah, we have a few things to discuss, right?" "You're very pretty." "Thank you very much." "I thought about it before coming to Cali." "You know what?" "I think a city like this needs someone pretty like you." "Thank you very much." "It's in Medellin, in Puerto Triunfo, in Puerto Boyaca where the immeasurable drug barons' power is located." "They use their vast fortunes to commit terrorist acts like the attempt on my life." "They also form their own security forces." "They terrorize and threaten public officials." "They kill journalists." "Yes, they murder journalists." "That's right." "Statesmen and members of the military." "Even innocent civilians." "What's the Department of Intelligence doing to stop Pablo Escobar and his men from doing as they wish?" "I guarantee we're sparing no expense." "Can you guarantee no further journalists will be killed in Colombia?" "Or that those of us working for El Espectador can be certain that the government's protecting our lives?" "Any journalist, not just those who work for El Espectador like you, who feels his or her life or integrity is threatened, can come to my office." "I'll gladly listen to any issues he or she might have." "Will you fortify our building like you did with your office, General?" "Sorry if I'm hostile, but ever since Rodrigo Lara's death, the government's promised to end the Medellin cartel." "But as you just confirmed," "Pablo Escobar and his men roam this country freely." "What do you have to say about the bomb meant for General Peraza?" "Even though he didn't die, you gave him a good scare." "Of course we did." "As an organization, we have much more experience now with explosives and planting car bombs." "Experience?" "Weren't we going to deal with the topic politically?" "One thing's got nothing to do with the other." "Why not?" "We're planting car bombs, killing innocent people, and not sparing a single person." "All while we ask not to be extradited." "We've got to stop this." "Are you crazy?" "We have to stop." "We have stopped." "This General Peraza was spared." "We'll put him on the backburner." "Same goes for the war with the Cali cartel." "There's nothing going on there right now." "So I'm in total agreement with Pedrito." "It's time to politically and legally prioritize the subject of extradition." "Just a moment." "What about Mr. Galan?" "He's a member of the Liberal Party." "He returned with the intention of advising and he's already requesting polls." "Now what?" "Let Mr. Galan win." "What's the big problem with him being president?" "I don't care about that." "What matters is that extradition is illegal." "As such, it doesn't affect us." "I think it's good we're not considering hurting that poor man." "Hold on a second." "I've got another candidate." "Mariachi, didn't you hear what we just said?" "Sure, it's easy for you." "You're not being investigated." "But Pablo, that magistrate is after you too." "He's got his eyes on you." "I think Pablo's right." "We'll wait and see what we can resolve with Congress." "Relax, Mariachi." "I think it's a good idea, too." "Listen up, Mariachi." "As long as extradition isn't an issue, our problems are easily resolved." "Including the problem with Galan." "Mr. Escobar, I can't believe you'd allow yourself to be accused of the murder of Mr. Guillermo Cano." "That's exactly what that magistrate is going to do." "Gentlemen, I'm in total agreement with Mariachi." "If it's broken, we have to fix it." "One example is the Police Commander in Antioquia," "Colonel Quintana." "We need the cops on our side." "Not cops to hassle us and make our lives hell." "Gentlemen, the era of violence is over." "No more car bombs, no more innocent deaths, no more murders." "We are going to find a political solution, not an armed solution." "We will not go back." "Yes or no, Pablo?" "There's no turning back." "That's right." "We won." "We won!" "Luis Carlos, this is a huge achievement." "You should've seen the other candidates' faces." "They were terrified." "They ought to be." "For years they've handpicked their candidates." "Luis Carlos changed the rules of the game." "The Liberal Party can't continue handpicking their candidates." "We've got to win the vote." "Let's get to work." "Good job." "Thanks." "Thank you." "What's on your mind, Senator?" "Sir?" "Shall we continue?" "Sorry, Ortiz." "Where were we?" "You seem worried." "You concerned about Galan's return?" "Javier, the Liberal Party's made a terrible mistake by accepting the guy who made us lose power in '82." "And there's no turning back from that." "But I'm sure you'll still win the election." "I don't know anymore." "Don't tell me you're seeing yourself as a loser." "I'm not seeing myself as anything." "Let's talk about the issue that really concerns us." "Escobar." "We already know the law forbids extradition." "That's something that would be gone over again in the committee." "In the Senate." "But it's crucial that it makes it to Congress." "For this to pass, it's essential that you be president of the committee that would be considering it." "Senator Santorini's trying to get his way again." "What are you surprised about?" "Santorini's always one step ahead." "Looks like he's trying to manipulate congress into getting rid of extradition." "It wouldn't be hard for him." "If it's presented to those who examine that, the Primary Senate Committee, he's the president." "But first he has to present it to Congress for approval." "I have something in mind." "I don't know what you'd think." "The Primary House Committee doesn't have a president." "I can run for it." "If I win, you know they wouldn't dare propose that bill." "We don't have enough votes for that." "We can win some votes from the Conservatives and from the Left." "You think those two will ever agree on everything?" "The mafia's a common enemy." "Besides, they're up to date on the extradition issue." "Excuse me." "That must be Maruja looking for me." "I told her I was coming here." "Hello?" "Yes." "Can you give me a call in five minutes?" "Thanks." "No, it was the radio station." "They wanted to ask about the new polls." "There are new polls?" "Yes." "Of the Liberal vote." "Looks like I'm winning." "Looks like?" "Of course you're winning!" "You ruffled a lot of feathers ever since you returned to the Liberal Party." "That was a stroke of genius." "I don't know what to think about the polls." "I still have to take on four of the most powerful members of the Liberal Party." "Including Santorini." "Don't be scared of Santorini." "You're going to win." "The next Liberal Party candidate and president of this country is Luis Carlos Galan Sarmiento." "Let's practice again." "How are we going to respond if the police ask you," ""Danielita, is it cold or hot when you talk to your Daddy?"" "I didn't notice." "Exactly." "What if the police ask you," ""Danielita, when you see Daddy, are you on a farm or in a house in Medellin?"" "Ask him." "Perfect." "That's how you answer the police." "Daddy, why would the police ask me that?" "They probably won't ask you anything." "I'm just being cautious." "We have to be prepared in case they ask anything." "It's just a precaution." "Look who's here." "Uncle Chili!" "Hi, Princess!" "What's up?" "Great news." "What's up?" "The TV anchor was seen in Cali." "Regina's in Cali?" "Yes, sir." "Why?" "She was having lunch with none other than Mr. Gildardo." "Thank you very much." "Bye." "Bye, Uncle." "The magistrate's security is light to say the least." "An unarmored van, two guards, and an office in the middle of the city." "The prey couldn't be easier." "Just say the word." "Are we just gonna talk about this or are we gonna smoke him?" "We're going to wait." "But keep watching him." "As you wish, sir." "The decision's been made." "You have to leave the country." "I don't think we have reason enough to yet." "Besides, Nicky spoke to General Peraza." "He's certain nothing's going to happen to us." "You trust him?" "You think Guillermo Cano knew he was going to be murdered?" "You think he would've walked out of the building if he knew someone was waiting for him outside?" "No." "You have a chance to prevent another tragedy." "I assure you Pablo Escobar still hates this newspaper." "Excuse me." "Sorry to interrupt, but something serious has happened." "What is it?" "A bill's been introduced to prohibit extradition." "It can't be." "It's first going to the Primary Senate Committee that Santorini presides over." "The presidency for the Primary Congress Committee is up for grabs." "Javier Ortiz was just nominated." "Two of Pablo Escobar's political allies." "That's just what we needed." "Gangsters with excellent representatives in this country's congress." "Isn't the Liberal Party going to do anything?" "If extradition is banned," "Mr. Guillermo Cano's murderers will do what they want." "We can't allow that." "We can write all we want about the issue, but the decision lies with Congress." "If Santorini controls both committees, no matter how much of a fuss we make, the extradition treaty is done for." "I needed that." "You've had a lot of practice ever since you retired off me." "I've had one here and there from time to time." "I remember when we first got together." "I'd look at the ceiling." "The ceiling looked low." "And now, look at all this elegance." "And that's thanks to you." "No." "Thanks to Chili and his brother." "He's earned everything through hard work as it should be." "Yeah, but you've helped us become classy people." "Something to drink?" "No." "Everything changed for the better, the moment you came into our lives." "I'm very grateful." "Mireya, there's something important I have to tell you." "You can sleep with all the men you want, but you're forbidden from sleeping with any of my enemies." "Is that clear?" "It's difficult." "Very difficult, but not impossible." "I've done a lot of wheeling and dealing." "I don't know what to do so you win that election." "Again, I've done a lot of wheeling and dealing." "We've got the Conservative Party's support." "Well, part of their support, as well as the Left." "Alberto, it's going to be tough." "You're taking on Ortiz." "Everyone knows Santorini's behind him." "If they both preside over the committees examining the overturning of this country's extradition treaty, they can do it." "When are you going to believe in me?" "I'm doing my job." "I won't let them win." "Alberto, if we lose extradition, we lose our only weapon to fight against them." "What have the witnesses said, Magistrate?" "The witnesses involved in this case?" "I can't answer that." "It's public knowledge you handled" "Mr. Guillermo Cano's murder case." "Yes." "As well as that of another important public official." "When will formal charges against Gustavo Ramirez," "El Mariachi, be filed?" "We'll see." "And against Pablo Escobar?" "Sir, you've given me nothing worth printing." "Give me something." "Ma'am, that's part of the summary discretion." "I can't stand here and accuse anyone." "When I can accuse any of the suspects, you and your colleagues will know." "But not now." "Last question." "Go ahead." "Are you scared something might happen to you?" "You're investigating the most dangerous and most wanted men in the country." "Young lady, fear paralyzes." "That's a luxury I don't have." "Estela?" "Yes, sir?" "Yes?" "Did you let anyone come into my office this morning?" "No, sir." "Not at all." "Have you at any moment left your desk?" "Of course not." "Anything else?" "Ms. Regina." "Don't worry, dear." "I'm not going to hurt you." "I have a message from the boss." "Mr. Pablo wants to know when you can go and meet with him in Medellin to talk." "I'm not going to Medellin." "Well, the boss said," ""Marino, if this woman won't come the easy way, bring her the hard way."" "Got that?" "So I'll ask you how you want this to go." "The easy way or the hard way?" "No, sir." "She was petrified." "I talked to her and she calmed down." "But she was pretty scared." "What did she say about coming to Medellin?" "That she couldn't right now." "That we couldn't force her to either." "She gave me a pager number." "She said if we send a message, she'd respond." "Are you sure this works?" "That this is truly her number?" "She was so scared that I don't think she'd lie." "Thank you." "Burning the midnight oil?" "Or you just can't sleep?" "I'm worried." "Do we have to leave the country?" "We're not the only ones in the Cano family." "If those traffickers want to hurt us, they could hurt anyone." "But we're the ones who create the headlines." "Are we just being paranoid?" "We haven't been threatened once." "That's why we haven't left." "Could Dad have felt this uncertainty?" "What do we do?" "Hello?" "What's up, Mr. Santorini?" "Today's the big day." "I apologize, but I don't know who I'm speaking to." "I'll tell my secretary to schedule..." "Don't you worry." "Nobody's listening in on our call." "Don't forget who you're talking to." "This is the last time." "How's our thing going?" "How's the vote going?" "Is Javier going to be elected president of the committee?" "It's complicated." "What do you mean complicated?" "Weren't you supposed to be the most powerful, most influential congressman in the country?" "Ortiz isn't the problem." "He's solid." "The issue is Villamizar." "He's Luis Carlos Galan Sarmiento's brother-in-law." "A capable politician who's running his campaign in Bogota." "I've been too interested in that vote for you to tell me you've been thinking." "Thinking about what?" "Pablo, have you thought about what would happen to your problems... if I became the next president of Colombia?" "Then what is it you've been thinking?" "In the money I'd have to give you for your rise to power?" "You need money?" "A lot." "We need to grease the Liberal party." "It's the only way to guarantee I win the vote." "We all know Luis Carlos Galan Sarmiento is everyone's favorite." "With all due respect, you haven't even been able to overturn a damn law, and now you're trying to convince me to invest my money in you?" "It's the only way we can take on Senator Galan." "No, sir." "Not until I hear that Javier Ortiz has won, you and I will not discuss you being Colombia's next president." "Simple as that."
