"THOSE WHO IGNORE THEIR HISTORY ARE CONDEMNED TO REPEAT IT." "Galan!" "Galan!" "I have to go, Mr. Galan." "Why?" "This is almost over." "You have a private lunch to attend." "Then you'll go to the university around two o'clock." "Yes, that's the plan, more or less." "Okay, so I'm going ahead to the university." "I recommend you always stay next to your personal escort." "Don't ever leave your bodyguard's side." "Alright." "Take care." "Have a good day." "See you later." "Galan!" "Galan!" "Look at this guy." "Hey, Chili!" "Look who just arrived." "That's Colonel Quintana." "We'll kill two birds with one stone." "This is too good!" "Shoot him now or what?" "Not yet." "We have to wait until Galan gets here." "Galan?" "What's wrong, Pineda?" "Nothing's wrong, Colonel." "Are you okay?" "Yes." "Everything's okay, sir." "You look scared." "I've been having some problems at home." "I'm sorry." "I'll focus on the situation at hand." "Come in, do you copy?" "I love campaigning in Medellin." "Yes, remember the first time we came?" "The people are so kind and really seem to support our ideas and concepts." "And the women..." "Did anything happen yet?" "I'm still waiting for him to arrive." "So?" "We just have to wait." "Hello, Police?" "Look, there are some junkies here next to the university." "They're acting strange." "I'll take care of it." "I repeat." "I'll take care of it." "It's a sweet toy." "Chili!" "Come here." "What?" "These guys are on the move." "I'm sending my men to the site." "Let's do a sweep and cordon off the area." "They're coming." "Run!" "Go protect the Colonel." "Heads up, they're almost here." "They're here, Chili!" "Yeah." "She ratted on us!" "She snitched!" "Go!" "Let's go!" "Leave it." "Let's get out of here." "Dear God!" "Surround the campus!" "Evacuate all campus buildings!" "We have to catch them!" "They couldn't have gotten far!" "What do you all think?" "Excuse me, Mr. Galan." "We have to go." "Why?" "What's wrong?" "Colonel Quintana just informed us of a plan to assassinate you at the university." "What plan?" "We don't know." "For now, our instructions are to go to Bogota immediately." "How do we not know?" "Don't worry, please." "They'll understand." "Where's the head of security?" "What did you do with the car?" "We ditched it." "We don't have to worry about that." "An old lady ratted us out." "An old lady?" "Is that a good excuse, Costra?" "Aren't you embarrassed to tell me that?" "No, sir!" "Come on..." "This happened because you didn't plan it right, because you improvised like a couple of amateurs." "How's it possible that some damn hag ruined the entire operation?" "Explain yourselves!" "We had to ditch the bazooka." "What?" "We lost the bazooka." "This is truly unbelievable." "I'm sorry, but you two are dumber than a bag of rocks." "First, you let Guillermo Cano's sons get away." "Didn't you?" "Then, you blow up the wrong guy." "Now this nonsense?" "Can you do me a huge favor, Mr. Chili, and explain to me what the hell's going on?" "What's going on?" "Sir." "Explain it to me." "I don't get it." "I'll take notes." "Just tell me what the hell's going on." "Frankly, I don't understand." "Tell me what's going on." "I swear, sir." "The plan against Col. Quintana won't fail again." "Didn't you say the same about Galan?" "And look!" "I looked like an idiot to Mariachi!" "Now I have to face him and say these three idiots couldn't do the job!" "That he was right all along, and now he has to do it!" "And to top it all off, the Colonel will proudly say that thanks to him, the assassination attempt against Luis Carlos Galan Sarmiento was thwarted." "Like the hero fighting the Medellin cartel." "You hear me?" "You know me, boss." "I hardly ever fail you, sir, only when it's an accident." "Don't give me that crap about accidents." "Everything's become an accident for you." "Everything!" "What am I supposed to do now?" "Tell me!" "Okay, sir." "I swear on the Virgin Mary and Mireya." "I swear on my mother's grave that Colonel Quintana will not live." "He will die, one way or another!" "I've already devised a plan." "Screw up again..." "I dare you to screw up again." "You too." "Do it." "Is the situation that serious, Colonel?" "It's very serious, Senator." "I suggest you not return to Medellin." "Your life is at great risk in this city." "My life is at risk in the entire country." "Yes, but... the risk is much too high in this city." "Try to understand, sir." "They were going to use a bazooka against you." "I knew this was going to be very complicated, but I must confess I never thought it'd get to this." "Right now, you're in more danger than anyone else in the country and with reason, sir." "As the next president, you're going to be a menace to drug traffickers." "Please be careful, sir." "That's what I'm doing, Colonel." "I'm alive thanks to people like you." "What I don't understand is what you're doing in Medellin." "You should be abroad on a diplomatic mission... far away from the fury of those drug traffickers." "I appreciate the kind words." "One last thing... be very careful with your public appearances." "That's when you're most vulnerable." "I promise I'll be careful, but promise you'll do the same." "Promise me you'll be careful." "I promise." "Have a good night." "May God and the Virgin be with you." "After the failed attempt against Mr. Galan in Medellin and despite the many threats, he and his campaign manager Cesar Gaviria Trujillo continue their relentless tour around the country to win the Liberal nomination in the upcoming elections." "He's been to more than 100 municipalities in August, introducing the political renovation project, which he's championed for several years." "Galan is in the lead in every poll and prepares to become the Liberal presidential candidate." "The diverse and complementary answers make it clear that it is necessary for Colombia's rural development, to rescue and transform in each of its living conditions." "However, speaking of country people isn't enough because the ones who suffer the most among them... the ones who are left behind and at greater risks are the women of the country and the elderly." "Honey, it's late and you have to wake up early tomorrow." "Why don't you go to sleep?" "I wake up early every day." "Exactly." "You never stay up late, honey." "I'll be right there, Isabel." "Won't you tell me what's been going on with you lately?" "It's nothing." "Tell me." "I'm your wife." "I can help you." "You're worried something bad is going to happen at work, right?" "Yeah, that's it." "Come here." "Honey, if you're with Colonel Quintana it's because you don't want to leave him to his fate." "I know it seems crazy especially after he gave you the opportunity to do something else, but I'm with you." "Everything's going to be okay." "You have my support." "Hello?" "You know where to be first thing tomorrow morning." "You know what you have to do." "Yeah, no problem." "You already know if something goes wrong, you and your family all die." "Who was that?" "Who was it?" "You know what, Mariachi?" "We're just screwing around now." "Now that we've got some of the police in our pocket as well as Mr. Galan's private security we can rest easy." "That job's as good as done." "Either Galan dies or he dies." "Trust me." "Well, everything's set for us to celebrate at this time tomorrow." "Let's hope so." "It sucks that I wasn't able to get even with that guy right here in Bolivar Park." "Oh well." "Soacha will do just fine." "Goodbye." "We'll keep in touch." "Thank you." "When will that stage be finished?" "In a couple of hours, sir." "Goodbye." "Sir..." "Aren't you going to seal off the square?" "The candidate's security team doesn't want any fences." "Goodnight." "Dad, what did you talk to General Ulloa about?" "You sound happy." "Do I have to talk to him to sound okay?" "Well, I just thought they had given you news about your transfer." "Look, Ernesto, quit worrying about that already." "The General told me he'd take care of that after Galan comes to Medellin." "Don't you think it's been too long without hearing any news?" "Well, life goes on, and I have to stay calm." "It's fine." "I'm glad to hear you're so optimistic and happy." "If I were you, I'd be doing the impossible to leave that city." "Look, son, let's stop talking about me, and let's talk about you." "How's school?" "Did you drop that crazy idea about leaving school?" "I was just very upset that day." "I'm determined to follow in your footsteps." "I'm so happy to hear you say that!" "That's great!" "I'm also happy to hear this calm in your voice." "Don't worry about me anymore." "Worry about your schooling." "Yes, Dad." "Get some sleep." "I don't want you getting into trouble." "Do me a favor, son." "Give Colonel Pabon a hug for me." "God bless you." "I love you." "Will do." "Goodnight." "I love you." "Your favorite." "Pepper chicken." "What is it?" "Don't you want any?" "I do!" "It looks amazing, and it smells..." "I've always liked this." "What's wrong?" "Why won't you eat?" "I'll eat it." "I'm sorry." "Thank you." "I'm going to bring some wine." "This dinner calls for it." "Alright." "Bring a bottle of the Spanish one... the one we like so much." "The one you like." "Don't let me down." "Behave." "Make sure they stay with the bodyguards, alright?" "What are you doing today?" "I've got a conference and some talks, but I don't know about tonight." "Can we go with you?" "No, stay with your mom." "Why?" "What's the problem with us going with you?" "There are going to be a lot of people, and it could be dangerous." "Well, why are you going then?" "I said I'm not sure about tonight." "I'll think about it." "Don't go." "Yeah, stay and watch a movie with us." "It's Friday." "Alright." "I'll think about it." "Now get going." "Bye, Dad." "Behave." "Bye, Dad." "Good luck." "That job is planned down to the T." "It'll be very hard for him to get away." "No matter what happens, he has to die." "The boss will kill me if he doesn't die." "You heard, boys?" "Nothing can go wrong." "Take your pick." "Chili... no pressure, but this can't go wrong." "Otherwise, Marino will be taking your job." "It's all good." "Be careful." "You too." "God bless you." "I always take care of myself, and God is with me." "Good morning." "Colonel." "Is something wrong, Pineda?" "Quintana!" "Colonel!" "Did you have a double breakfast?" "Colonel, my father sends his regards!" "Send him my regards as well." "Permission to leave, Colonel!" "Pineda... you can talk to me." "Colonel... something is going on, but I don't know how to say it." "Just say it." "I've got a family problem..." "I did something, and I don't know if it was the right thing." "Pineda, that happens to everyone." "Let me give you some advice." "Listen to your heart." "There you'll find an answer to everything." "The answer is very clear, Colonel, but I don't know if I'm doing what I should." "What does that mean?" "Fine, don't tell me." "I know it's a private matter." "One last thing." "Don't make things so complicated." "Sometimes we get lost finding the answer to something when it's right in front of us." "Thank you, Colonel." "Forgive me for... for not being up to your level." "Let's go, son." "Sir, it's Juan Guillermo Cano." "Thank you." "Good morning, Juan Guillermo." "Dr. Galan, how are you?" "We've been thinking a lot about you." "And I about you." "How's your brother?" "Just as uneasy as I am." "We're worried about the news we hear." "We'd like to go, but we feel so powerless." "You're protecting your family right now, and that's what matters." "Yes, that's true." "How are you, sir?" "I hear the threats and dangers are getting worse." "I can't deny it." "What happened in Medellin was very serious." "These people have very sophisticated weapons... even bazookas!" "Yet the police can't find them." "I'm guessing the Government isn't making any promises." "They haven't even sent the armored vehicle I requested." "You should think about it, sir." "I'm committed to the country... to the institutions... to the movement, to everything we've proposed, to the people, who trust me." "Imagine if I come out on the news saying I'm just dropping out." "That's not serious." "Think about your family." "As badly as we all want to see you become the president, you have to think about yourself first." "Dr. Galan, there are worries in Venezuela about a sum of money offered to attempt on your life." "Is that true?" "That's the simple version of those in the world of crime, who are caught in a chain of psychopathic ideas and delinquency, thinking that because I'm at the center of Colombian politics" "I'd express my concern about this problem and call on national and international societies to take action." "They think they can achieve their criminal empire by getting rid of me, but they're completely mistaken." "You can get rid of a man, but you can't get of his ideas." "On the contrary, sometimes, when you get rid of men, their ideas gain strength." "Even from a strategic standpoint, their method is absurd." "Poor thing." "He was like, "I'll introduce you two to a couple of cousins I've got that are really hot!"" "One had a mustache..." "The one with the mole?" "What's the deal?" "Why don't you focus on what we have to do?" "This is a serious job!" "If you feel like joking around, then get out of the car now!" "Relax, Chili." "It'll work out." "He's right, though." "Get serious!" "This is a serious job." "Look." "Look." "That's him." "What is it, Pineda?" "Why did you stop?" "Pineda." "I'm very sorry, Colonel." "I had no other option." "I don't understand." "What's going on, Pineda?" "Pineda!" "He's dead, Chili." "Just in case." "Alright then." "Boss." "Sir." "Mr. Pablo." "Sir." "What happened?" "It's Chili." "Chili." "What happened, Chili?" "Boss, the job is done." "Mission accomplished." "Good." "Thank you very much." "Is the little bottle there?" "Here." "Thanks." "Someone get that." "I'm not taking any calls today." "It's important, General." "It's the President?" "No, but you'd better get that." "Hello?" "I received another invitation today to drop out of the race." "But to me politics are a vocation of service, which demands sacrifices... and presents sudden changes that must be dealt with." "I can't betray the trust of the thousands of Colombians, who I see every day out on the square." "I could never forgive myself for that." "I'd rather die trying." "Yes, good morning." "No, Captain." "General interest comes first in that kind of situation." "Excuse me for a second." "Hello?" "What?" "In these cases we must act in strict accordance with that country's police code..." "We must follow the rules." "Colonel, good morning." "Good morning, Major." "I'm sorry to interrupt." "Don't worry." "At ease." "I need to speak with one of your students." "Go ahead, Colonel." "Quintana, come with me." "Breaking news." "We've got news from the city of Medellin." "Just a few minutes ago a shooting broke out in which armed men murdered a police officer." "As of now, it is said that the victim was the commander of the Antioquia police" "Col. Osvaldo Quintana Quintero." "The whereabouts of his driver are still unknown." "It is unknown whether the gunmen kidnapped him or murdered him." "The authorities began operations to find the whereabouts of the people responsible of this violent attack." "Let's talk in my office." "What do you want to talk about?" "About several things..." "About life... about the institution... about family." "Colonel... did something happen to my father?" "Quintana... your father was attacked." "Colonel... is he okay?" "He's in the hospital." "His condition is unknown." "Tell me the truth, Colonel." "What happened to my father?" "Let's go talk in my office." "Come on." "Quintana." "Let's go to my office." "Let's go." "Come on!" "Quintana." "My dad!" "Oh God!" "My dad!" "Not my dad, God!" "Please!" "Mrs. Ana, I'd like to offer my deepest condolences." "I'm very sorry about what happened to Osvaldo." "I had even spoken to him and asked him why he wouldn't leave, but he never said why." "Thank you very much, Mr. Galan." "It's ridiculous the Government didn't do anything to protect him knowing he was in danger." "The police left my husband alone." "Osvaldo spoke to Gen. Ulloa requesting a transfer, but nothing happened." "That's terrible." "It's terrible that they left him all alone." "It's very similar to what's going on with you, Senator." "I'd love to join you and your family, but you understand that the circumstances..." "No..." "Don't even think about coming here, Mr. Galan." "Thank you very much for your solidarity, but it's better if you don't come here." "I just hope that when you become president you do something for this country." "It just keeps getting worse." "Take care, Mr. Galan." "Take care of yourself." "General, good morning." "Good morning." "Quintana, I'm very sorry about your father." "I offer you my deepest condolences, as well as from the institution." "There's something I will never forgive the institution for." "You all had my father's life in your hands, but you never cared." "It's getting late." "I thought you didn't want any." "Forget it." "Don't give me anything." "How touchy!" "Good morning, guys." "Good morning, sir." "How are you?" "Good, sir." "Where's Chili?" "He's celebrating, sir." "We waited to hear those headlines for so long, and finally!" "Did you hear, boss?" "I think they emptied out the guns on him." "About 150 bullets." "Alright." "I need you all to focus." "The police are going to watch our backs, not in the square, but in different areas in Soacha." "So the police are helping?" "Well, not really." "They're not going to fire any guns." "They'll just watch our backs so we can work in peace." "What about the escorts?" "The head of security is on our side." "His job is to leave Galan alone so we can get to work." "How nice of him!" "Here." "I need all of you to keep your hats on." "It's the only thing that sets us apart." "It looks nice, right?" "Grab the banner." "You've gotta stand in front of the stage and cover me so I can shoot in peace without getting caught." "You know how I do it." "Hey." "Is Galan coming for sure?" "Well, it hasn't been completely confirmed, but we need to get the plan rolling." "Get to work." "Leonel, who are we doing this job for?" "I mean, he's gotta be very powerful to be messing with someone like Galan." "If you want to spare yourself, then you're better off not knowing." "Thank you, Mr. President." "I appreciate it." "Very well." "Goodbye." "You were talking to the President?" "Former President Pastrana." "He's worried after what happened to me and to the Colonel." "He's the only one who's called, right?" "That's incredible." "You were almost killed in Medellin, and it's like no one cares." "What is it, Luis Carlos?" "To be honest, I just want to catch a plane and go be with them." "I can't believe the entire country left the Colonel alone knowing he was the Medellin Cartel's military target." "It's absurd." "Absurd, Luis Carlos." "That's just why I think it's crazy that you insist on going to Soacha." "We have to carry on, Gloria." "We can't let the people think that we've given in... that fear has paralyzed us." "We have to carry on." "We have to." "He lied to us, Ernesto." "He told us he was going to take care... that he would always be with us." "They killed him." "They killed your dad." "Mrs. Ana." "Don't you dare come close." "Don't you dare!" "Calm down, Mom." "We're going to hold a ceremony with full honors." "The president has confirmed attendance." "Is that supposed to bring back my father?" "Quintana, we know you're going through a tough time, but nothing justifies disrespecting the General." "Shut up." "All my father requested was to be transferred out of Medellin." "Neither one of you was able to do anything for him." "It wasn't as easy as you make it sound." "It wasn't easy for the commander of the police?" "You may not understand it right now, but it wasn't that easy to find an officer who'd face the Medellin Cartel as your father did." "Cadet!" "Recriminations are useless right now." "General..." "I hope you understand that as of now you're an accomplice to my father's death." "We are all fulfilling our duty." "Permission to leave, General!" "Any news on the Colonel's driver?" "Nothing yet, sir."
