"THOSE WHO IGNORE THEIR HISTORY ARE CONDEMNED TO REPEAT IT." "At this moment," "The Extraditables are holding 17 Colombians in response to Gustavo Ramirez's cold-blooded murder at the hands of the police." ""We'll hold them hostage until the government gives up on its efforts of coming after us and grant the U.S. power to prosecute us." "Signed, The Extraditables."" "The days go by, but there hasn't been any progress." "It's true." "The relatives of the hostages haven't been able to contact The Extraditables." "Knowing how Escobar and his associates operate, that surely won't happen." "That's right." "That's how they operate." "They let time pass... and they wait for people to get desperate." "We won't just sit and wait." "The police must continue searching and shouldn't let their guard down under any circumstance." "Col. Pavon's well aware this is his priority." "They won't stay quiet for too long, anyway." "They have to ask for some type of ransom, don't they?" "There's someone trying to get a hold of The Extraditables." "I'm sorry, but I'm not just a government official." "I'm a father worried about his son's fate." "Mr. Bedoya, that goes without saying..." "What's this about someone talking to Escobar?" "Yes." "I asked a businessman from Antioquia, who's already served as mediator between Escobar and President de la Cruz." "May we know who we're talking about?" "Ivan Lopera." "I asked him to get a hold of the hostages' relatives." "And also to act as mediator." "I think that's a huge mistake, Mr. President." "I should warn you about the trouble of initiating such talks, Mr. Bedoya." "My son's at the hands of the worst psychopath in this country." "If I must negotiate with that criminal to secure my son's release, I'll do it!" "How can Ivan Lopera be of service to the government?" "By listening to Escobar." "We should hear what he wants, just as you suggested." "They want something, right?" "The only one who knows that is Lopera." "Watermelon!" "Watermelon!" "Mom..." "Mom!" "Here's your machete, pal." "Thanks, bro." "Keep it." "Thanks." "It's all yours." "Thanks." "Thanks, bro." "There's the guy." "That's him." "Mr. Lopera?" "That's me." "Will you come with us, please?" "How are you, guys?" "We have to blindfold you." "That's not necessary." "The boss's orders." "Let's go." "Quick, quick!" "Open that shit!" "What's up?" "Sorry for not providing you with the buffet you're used to, but we've got some delicious sandwiches, compliments of our boss." "Why don't you shut up, Topo?" "Relax." "I'm just trying to have a pleasant conversation... so they don't feel so bad, right?" "Here you go, eat." "Eat." "Aren't you going to eat?" "How much longer are you going to keep me here?" "What do you want?" "I asked Santa for a very pretty house." "I hope he comes through quickly." "When did you become a comedian, Topo?" "You'd better take that sandwich and eat it, you hear?" "You didn't come here to die." "Be patient." "Calm down." "You aren't leaving until the boss settles his problems with the government." "If he settles them, that is." "It doesn't seem too easy." "Let's go." "Cheers, Pablo." "Remove the..." "What's up, Ivan?" "I'm sorry we had to blindfold you, but you must understand we have to take certain precautions." "What's up, Pablo?" "Have a seat." "Would you like an orange?" "No, thanks." "Thanks for having me." "So, Ivan... what do you need?" "Well..." "I know my brother's much closer to you than I am." "Daniel Bedoya is a friend of the family, and I'd like to..." "Come on, Ivan." "Save the explanations." "That's not necessary." "Just tell us what you want." "Well..." "There's not much to say, Pablo." "I'm here to act as mediator for the hostages, particularly for Carlos Bedoya." "What can we do to release them?" "What do you want?" "You tell me, Pablo." "First of all, we don't want anything at all." "It's not what we want." "It's about what we're demanding from them as an organization, right, Pedro?" "That's right, Pablo." "We're demanding a complete stop to all extraditions of any Colombians and an end to the persecution of The Extraditables in exchange for the release of the 17 hostages." "Those first two points are nonnegotiable." "Given those two items, we can then start negotiating." "Tell them that." "If they agree to it, great." "If they disagree or think our demands are over the top, then tell them we'll proceed to kill Mr. Bedoya's son and the other 16 innocent souls we're holding hostage." "Not only that, remind them that each of those 17 murders will be carried out in front of Mr. Bedoya." "Go ahead, Mr. Lopera." "We're listening." "Mr. President, first of all, my relationship with Pablo Escobar is only for humanitarian reasons." "Mr. Bedoya made it very clear when he requested your help." "Let's cut to the chase, Mr. Lopera." "The President wants to hear directly from you the real reason for these negotiations." "Mr. Pablo Escobar said he was speaking on behalf of The Extraditables." "He assured me they're willing to release Mr. Bedoya's son as well as the other 16 hostages." "What does he want in exchange?" "They'll turn themselves in after you stop coming after them." "They want to be reassured they'd be tried in Colombia and that under no circumstance will they be extradited." "They've been kidnapped for several days." "If we try to rescue them by force, their lives will be at risk." "We have to reach some kind of agreement." "Did they ask for anything else?" "At first they didn't, Mr. President, but they did say they have other requests, though not as significant." "After the horrible terrorist acts they have committed, people want takedowns like Mariachi's, not negotiations." "People want to go out without worries, in peace." "They want to spend a peaceful Christmas, no matter what." "No President will put up with 17 hostages." "Especially when one of those hostages is his Private Secretary's son." "Right, Gonzalo?" "Yeah, that's true." "Relax." "Stop worrying about that." "Stop being so paranoid." "When are we going to talk to that Lopera guy?" "Never." "We already told him what we had to tell him." "We already made contact." "That's what really mattered." "Right now, our priority is to find a lawyer who'll handle the negotiation from here on out." "What do you mean, bro?" "You already found a lawyer?" "Not yet." "Gonzalo and I are working on it." "By any chance, do you know any badass lawyers in Medellin who might represent us?" "I don't know any lawyers, but my brothers can look into it." "Ask them to do us that huge favor." "That's what we need right now." "A guy who can negotiate, who can help us get a prison just for us, who'll ensure our safety, the possibility that we'll get to keep our money, and not only our safety inside the prison," "but the safety of our families in the streets and outside of prison." "And most importantly, that we don't get extradited." "You're absolutely right." "Only a lawyer can secure that for us." "Mr." "President." "Mr." "President." "Please have a seat." "The situation is clear but complicated." "The Extraditables want to negotiate." "I warned you about that, Mr. President." "That's why they carried out those kidnappings, to pressure you and get what they want." "What's your take, Mr. President?" "The government can't play their game!" "We can't be suckered into a negotiation, Mr. President." "Given the current situation, General Ulloa, the government has no choice but to start negotiations." "Mr. President, did you forget they're a terrorist group?" "Did you forget all the police officers who died in the attempt against my life?" "Did you forget the Colombians who died on that plane?" "We wanted to capture these criminals, but given the current circumstances, we have to face them." "Wouldn't it be better to try to find out where our contact and Escobar met, to be closer to him?" "None of that." "Whether you like it or not, we're starting the negotiation process." "This is a little confusing for the public opinion... because my son is one of the hostages." "That's why we had to resort to someone outside the government to help us reach an agreement with The Extraditables." "I'm sorry, Mr. President, but I still think this is a mistake." "Mr. Bedoya, I can't imagine what a father might feel knowing his son is being held by criminals, deprived of his freedom." "That's why I'm here, Mr. President." "Both the government and myself need your help." "As long as I can be of assistance, you can count on me." "Thanks." "The President thinks you could approach The Extraditables and ask them to release all the hostages and reach an agreement with the government." "Given the circumstances, tell the President he can count on me." "Thank you so much." "I really appreciate it." "I wouldn't do it on my behalf, but on behalf of a superior commission that might be called The Notables." "It seems Naufrago left the country a while ago." "What a coward!" "He's a coward and an orphan because we took care of that job too." "Alright, Marino." "Thanks a lot." "You show me every day that you're top notch, that you're the kind of man I need by my side." "We can finish off his whole family tree if you want." "We have a little problem to solve in Bogota." "What is it, sir?" "By any chance, Marino... do you have any acquaintances inside Modelo prison who'd like to make a few bucks?" "Half of my friends are locked up in Modelo." "The money from that job is running out." "What do you mean?" "You spent 200 million pesos just like that?" "What?" "Do you know all the people I had to grease?" "Between the lawyer and everyone and all their mothers..." "At least everything should be squared away by now." "Is there anything missing?" "Oh, Baldemar." "God willing, we'll be out of here by New Year's." "What?" "Are you serious?" "Calm down." "Don't be so obvious!" "Check out that guy." "He's just like Mechuda." "All along I thought they were going to kill us." "I was waiting for someone to clip us." "Even if the boss is six feet under, their partners know we're a danger in here." "That's why we have to get out of here quickly." "Mr." "Patarroyo." "Mr." "Lopera." "Wait outside, please, just a moment." "Pablo sent you to negotiate with me?" "We think it's better that way." "I understand you have a message from the government." "Here's the deal." "The Government is willing to stop coming after your clients and assure them they'll be judged here in Colombia." "Perfect." "But first, a group of notables will petition" "Pablo Escobar and his associates to find peace." "The way you do it is your business." "All my clients want is that they come through for them." "And they will, but the government needs to see a gesture of good faith." "Such as?" "The release of half of the hostages, as well as handing over properties, drugs, cash..." "You follow, right?" "Yes, of course I do." "I'll relay the message to my clients." "I have a question for you." "How will the government assure my clients they won't be extradited to the U.S?" "Colombians can't let their country become a war zone, nor allow our brothers to become victims of a war they didn't wage." "Colombians claim their right to live in peace." "That's why this commission is calling on all The Extraditables to take advantage of this Christmas season and give Colombia the best gift they can... the hostages' freedom." "Set the hostages free, set the dynamite aside, and please turn yourselves in." "It's the only way they can expect any benevolent treatment." "Ma'am..." "Stand up." "We're leaving." "Where are you taking me?" "Stand up." "I don't want to go." "Stand up." "I don't want to go..." "Do you believe in that offer?" "Yeah, Miguel." "I think it's the first time the government shows a clear willingness to negotiate with us, by agreeing to take extradition off the table." "We've been looking for that for quite some time." "I think it's great." "As far as I'm concerned," "I'd rather stay out of those negotiations." "Think it over, Miguel." "Keep in mind we'll negotiate the conditions of our incarceration." "We'll be able to be close to our families, and we won't be away long, either." "Once we're released, we'll be able to reap the benefits of our work." "It's the opportunity of a lifetime." "I understand, Pablo." "I don't have anything against this, but it's not my fight." "Ever since the guerrilla killed my old man," "I swore I wouldn't stop until I killed every last one of them." "And that's what I'm going to do." "Well, I..." "I have nothing against that." "You're absolutely right." "You have every right, and I've got your back because I understand you." "I appreciate it." "Do what you've gotta do." "Like you said, it's the opportunity of a lifetime." "Once again, bro... congratulations." "Step back." "Please move away." "He's a police officer." "Breaking news." "Moments ago, national police elite forces found a woman, who was one of the 17 persons kidnapped by the Extraditables." "She was freed in downtown Medellin." "It is not yet known why she was released, whether she carries a message for the Government from the Extraditables, or if the Extraditables are heeding the Commission's call to peace." "Things are turning out the way we'd hoped, Mr. Bedoya." "The people have welcomed the call to peace." "No one wants to relive the tragedies this year has brought." "The death of Galan, the bombing of the DAE building, the airplane that was also bombed, the bombing of El Espectador, the kidnappings..." "Thank goodness we're finding solutions for so much tragedy." "You'll soon be reunited with your son." "The negotiations will start before Christmas." "I hope by then my son will have been freed." "I'll do everything possible to make it so." "I swear it." "The critical issue will continue to be non-extradition." "We have to make the press and the people see that with the Extraditables turning themselves in," "we have to give something in return, and that will be their trials in Colombia." "Are you sure Peter's going to call?" "Or are you a little confused?" "I'm sure." "He always calls Thursdays at 3:00 PM." "The phone will ring any minute now." "Are you sure?" "I'm sure." "Peter, you know who this is?" "Marino?" "What a surprise, man!" "Weren't you working with the big cheese?" "Let me talk to him." "Give me two minutes, and I'll let you talk to him." "Just two minutes." "What's up, bro?" "I've got a job for you." "A job?" "I've only got three minutes." "Be quick." "Listen up." "This is serious." "There are a couple of guests there with you." "You need to give them a manicure and pedicure." "A couple?" "We hit the jackpot, buddy." "Hey!" "I'm talking to my mom!" "Have some respect for the family!" "Who are the lucky guests?" "Alright." "You know the ones who are there because of the Galan case?" "A guy from the coast and five others." "No, not them." "The other ones who are there for the same thing." "Yeah, those are tougher guys." "Listen up." "Those are your clients." "You'll get ten big ones for each one." "Clients?" "Did my boy set up a business in jail?" "A heck of a business, ma'am." "Oh, I hope so." "Well?" "Are you in?" "Tell my mom I said hi." "Look what just arrived." "What?" "We just got word from the Extraditables." "What does it say?" "I knew it." "They weren't going to release someone without something in return." ""We want the Government and the people to know that we agree with that stated by the most excellent Commission of Notables about living in a peaceful Colombia."" "We've released one of the persons we were holding hostage." "The remaining 16 persons will be released over the next few days." "Period." "New paragraph." "In addition, we will hand over properties, cash, and infrastructure." "Period." "Wait." "Infrastructure." "Period." "And we will face Colombian justice." "Period." "New paragraph." "The Extraditables," "Colombians who wholeheartedly love their country, accept the call to peace." "We also announce our complete and absolute surrender." "Tell me once and for all what we need to do for them to release the hostages." "The lawyer said they'd be released." "We're just a few days away from Christmas." "My grandkids want to celebrate Christmas by the tree and with their father." "Let's hope he's been freed by then, sir." "We've done so much and tried to negotiate through you, but all you can say is, "Wait!"" "Mr. Lopera is simply delivering a message." "This lawyer said his clients had some more demands." "Just what we needed." "They want the police to stop harassing their families, and a guarantee in writing, by decree, their non-extradition." "Alright." "I can resolve the first thing with a phone call, but the second thing, and you know this, Dr. Lopera, is completely impossible." "Tell them that if they release my son" "I'm willing to intercede, in every way possible, so none of them is ever extradited." "Alright." "Sorry to interrupt, gentleman, but we have to leave now." "Sorry, buddy." "It's a shame." "You have to stay a while longer." "We lost your keys." "Mom... are the cops always going to be following us?" "I don't know, honey." "What's a cop, Mommy?" "It's a policeman, but that's not what we call them." "That's disrespectful, sweetie." "Policemen." "Montoya, we're leaving." "The 24-hour shifts are over." "Colonel's orders." "Let's go." "What was that?" "Quickly, Emilio." "A little quicker, please." "Thanks." "What's going on?" "What do you want?" "Can you give me some soap?" "Stop being so paranoid." "That guy was looking at you all weird." "Relax." "Listen, just calm down." "This will be over soon." "Don't worry." "I can only feel a sense of satisfaction, knowing the Extraditables are cooperating, thanks to our call to peace, rather than only sending their declaration to surrender." "They're also showing their true peaceful intentions with their actions." "They released 16 of the hostages, which is what matters." "They also handed over a large amount of explosives." "I understand they've also turned over a helicopter, several thousand dollars, and even a cocaine lab." "In my judgment, those are coherent acts that demonstrate a real desire for peace." "Look at this." "What morons!" "Turning themselves in?" "Dammit." "Roll call, gentlemen!" "Are they back?" "No, there's no police." "Dad must've done something for them to stop screwing with us." "Don't say that!" "When did you start using that foul language?" "Do you think we can now be a normal family?" "I don't know." "You'll have to ask your dad when you see him." "Maria!" "Are we finally going to see Daddy?" "Yes, honey." "Please have the guys put that in the car." "We're going to pick up Mrs. Enelia." "Let's go, potty mouth." "They're here." "Look." "There's mine." "Champ!" "Dad!" "Where's my girl?" "Sweetie!" "Daddy!" "I missed you so much!" "I missed you too, sweetie." "Don't run in those heels, honey." "I keep telling you, baby." "You're beautiful, darling." "What about those shoes?" "I'm so happy to see you." "Can I see the rest of the ranch?" "Sure, go ahead." "Say hi to Peluche." "Oh, honey." "So great to see you." "I'm so happy to see you." "Thank the Lord." "Thanks, Mom." "Look, your wife's waiting!" "You're very beautiful." "How are things?" "Good, sweetie." "How have you been?" "It's so great to have you here." "I'm glad we made it." "You're silly!" "It's so great to have you like this again!" "Like how?" "Rubbing up against you?" "Pablo!" "You're impossible!" "Like this, honey, like a normal family." "No suffering." "I'm also really happy to be with you and the kids again." "So tell me... how are my siblings and my old man?" "How's Irmita?" "They're great, honey." "There hasn't been any news lately." "I'm so tired of us having to hide, sweetie." "Me too." "How are the kids?" "They miss you a lot." "Damn, me too." "Tonight we'll catch up in every sense." "I've missed you a lot, honey." "My heels get stuck in the grass." "Yeah, it's better if we sit." "So Peluche..." "Yes, Mom?" "Since we can't believe anything the papers say, can you tell me about that surrender?" "What are you all thinking of doing?" "You just got here, and you're already asking questions." "Enjoy the party." "Everything's great, but I need to know." "Have you all taken precautions?" "What guarantees are they giving you?" "How sure are you that the government will keep its word?" "You know they're schemers too." "They don't keep their word." "So is there another plan?" "We know well the government is as dirty as anyone else." "Don't worry, and let's just dance." "We can talk about that later." "How long since we danced?" "But I'm taking my shoes off." "Have you missed me, darling?" "So much, sweetie." "Every day." "I'm so tired of you always being away from home." "How much longer, Gonzalo?" "And me, surrounded by bodyguards, by Peluche... by Pablo..." "Did you bring me a gift?" "Sure." "I hid it." "Give it to me then." "But the party..." "Give it to me." "But baby, we're going to disappear?" "I want to congratulate you for making such an intelligent decision, honey." "It's what's best for this family." "I know." "Gonzalo and I are working on that." "In a few days, a couple of months tops, we'll have it resolved." "What do you mean?" "You're going to jail?" "Yeah, but it's not a normal jail." "It's a special jail for us." "You'll be able to visit us whenever you want." "We're building it very close to Medellin." "In other words, all the effort all these years is finally paying off." "Jail is jail, Pablo." "I know, but you have to think that it's a few months in jail, but it means we can live in peace the rest of our lives, enjoying our money and our savings." "Do you understand?" "It's nothing." "Nothing?" "It's worth it." "Nothing?" "Right?" "You should be happy, and celebrate with me." "Alright." "Bedoya." "Here, buddy." "Merry Christmas, buddy." "Merry Christmas?" "Merry Christmas?" "Merry Christmas?" "The kids." "The kids!" "The kids!" "Tell the boss to let me see my kids!" "I'm not hungry." "Come on." "It's delicious." "I had it specially made at the restaurant." "At least try it." "I'm just so sad to see these kids on a day like today without their dad." "I'm much more sad to see my brother this way." "You've done everything for Carlos to come back to us." "Now we just have to be patient." "Eat just a little." "Gentlemen." "How are you?" "Enjoy." "Go on in." "Thanks for the party." "Have fun." "You guys, keep watch." "My pleasure, guys." "Carry on." "Gentleman, enjoy." "My pleasure." "How are things?" "Good, sir." "Alright." "Enjoy the party, but stay alert." "Make sure everyone outside is alert." "Alright." "How's it going, guys?" "Gentlemen." "Hello?" "One moment." "Nicky, telephone!" "Who's calling me here?" "For me?" "Hello?" "Good evening, Ms. Reporter." "Who's speaking?" "That doesn't matter." "What matters is the message I'm going to give you." "I don't take information from anonymous callers." "Who's this?" "Listen, Pablo Escobar is a terrorist, drug trafficker, and murderer, and now turns out he's an opportunist!" "Are you talking about the announcement of his surrender?" "Exactly." "It's all a lie!" "All they want is to fool the people." "Find out who Ivan Lopera is and what he's doing in the presidential palace." "Ivan Lopera, the politician and builder from Antioquia?" "That's him." "Aside from all that, he's an acquaintance of Pablo Escobar." "Investigate!" "Maybe then the country will stop believing all of that SOB's theatrics!"
