"THOSE WHO IGNORE THEIR HISTORY ARE CONDEMNED TO REPEAT IT." "The Governor was loved by all of Antioquia." "Yes, General." "All of Antioquia loved him very much." "When you and I spoke on the phone," "I never thought it'd be so serious." "That shows how Escobar and the cartel operate and how powerful they are." "It's incredible, General." "We'll get pressured from all angles now." "Have we heard from Escobar?" "All I know about Escobar... is that he wants me dead." "Come on, Colonel!" "You'll have to excuse me and with all due respect..." "I warned you about the threats against me." "A car bomb almost killed me and an innocent soul is dead." "My family is terrified." "Have a seat, please." "I can't remove you from your position right now." "What does that mean, General?" "That I'll have to be the next casualty on the list?" "No, Colonel." "That won't happen." "The institution will protect you." "It means I need time to make the best decision and find the right replacement." "What should I do in the meantime?" "In the meantime..." "let's be careful." "Let's be very careful." "Excuse me, General." "What does that mean?" "That I'll have to be the next casualty on the list?" "No, Colonel." "That won't happen." "The institution will protect you." "That means that I need time to make the best decision..." "What's going on?" "That's exactly what we want to know." "What's going on?" "What did General Ulloa tell you, Dad?" "Nothing." "Your flight's leaving in about an hour." "I can't believe this is still happening in Colombia." "Besides all the problems the country is facing now we have to add terrorism." "No, there's only one problem, drug trafficking." "That's the real problem." "If this happens to a governor, can you imagine what the average citizen is feeling?" "It must be dreadful for Colonel Quintana." "This attack was intended for him." "Can you imagine how insecure he must be feeling?" "He's definitely Pablo Escobar's target." "He has to get out of town." "They have to improve his personal safety." "Poor man... poor family." "I agree with you, Mrs. Gloria." "If we don't want to mourn any more casualties, we'd better not come back here." "Being safe is becoming very complicated." "That'd make a lot of people very happy." "Medellin is the second most important city in Colombia." "It's obvious we have to be back to campaign." "If you think it's too hard to ensure Luis Carlos' safety, just let us know and we'll talk to General Peraza." "That's not it, Mrs. Gloria." "Better safe than sorry." "I said it's complicated, but not impossible." "I can assure you you'll be safe." "Right, Sebastian?" "That's right, Mr. Galan." "Cain, turn this on, bro!" "It's on already." "Press the "On" button." "Did you assemble it right, Candonga?" "What?" "The bomb is practically built." "The problem is making sure it explodes." "You're so funny." "Why don't you go back to Medellin and stop wasting time here?" "Why are you sending them back?" "Let them stay so we can at least chat a little." "They're not doing anything here, bro!" "This is very serious." "I need hard workers." "People who do things right." "Not a bunch of fools who can only pull a trigger." "We're helping you, bro." "Sure you are!" "Grab that!" "No, I'll go first." "I'll go first." "What happened to the governor in Medellin is even more proof of Escobar's power." "Many of you are afraid of coming to work." "You're afraid of car bombs." "I'm sorry to interrupt, Mrs. Ana Maria... none of that will affect our commitment to our jobs and El Espectador." "I know that, but that's why I wanted to talk to you." "If any of you feels you don't want to keep working here... you're free to move on." "You may go." "You're free to do so." "You don't have to answer now... but think about it." "Think about it with a leveled head." "Think about yourselves, about your families." "Figure out if working here is worth it, and if you want to keep working for the newspaper." "Think about it." "Thanks." "Excuse me." "I'm heading to work now." "Won't you tell us what you discussed with General Ulloa?" "You did ask him for a transfer, right?" "I spoke to him." "He said he'd take it into consideration but he needed time." "It's ridiculous, Dad." "That's another reason why I want to leave the force." "What?" "Yes, Mom." "The leader of the force doesn't even care about his own men." "He doesn't even care about Colombians." "He just wants to get it off his back." "Enough." "Don't say that." "General Ulloa said he'd help me." "I just need to keep doing my job and wait." "Why won't he understand how dangerous it is to live here?" "What does he want us to wait for?" "After that scary situation we went through!" "I fear for your life when you're out on the street." "Nothing's going to happen to me." "You don't believe that yourself, Dad." "It's as if the Grim Reaper's waiting around the corner... and we're running straight to it!" "Don't say that, Ernesto." "Everyone knows Pablo Escobar wants to kill Dad." "That's no secret." "Yes, honey." "Ernesto's right." "But despite all that, I won't have any bodyguards tomorrow." "Is that clear?" "Are you sure about what you're saying, Dad?" "You know the room at the end of the hallway is mine." "Why?" "I saw it first!" "Then I'll take the one in the middle." "No, I'm the oldest one." "Hey, old man." "Juan Manuel." "What happened?" "All the rooms are pretty good." "They're all the same." "How'd it go in Medellin?" "Good... pretty good." "Don't look at me with that face." "You know I couldn't take you." "When things cool down..." "I promise we'll go together." "Okay!" "I won't fix up anybody's room!" "I can't believe we're in this apartment." "In the other house, it felt as if we were on the street." "I hope security works like it should here." "What's up, Mrs. Concern?" "We're here already." "My office is in the same building." "Everything's going to be better." "I hope so." "Who could it be?" "I don't even know the number." "Hello?" "How about it, Mr. Galan?" "New apartment?" "The only way you'll make it out alive is by resigning to your candidacy, that's it." "What happened?" "Who was it?" "Boss, that screw up with the governor was really bad." "I'm sorry we didn't come through with the colonel." "I promise I'll get it done, though." "I started that mission and I'll finish it off myself." "I swear." "Look, Chili..." "Knowing we're trying to kill him," "Colonel Osvaldo Quintana must have at least 500 bodyguards." "If you're thinking about getting to him, you will need a very complex and elaborate plan, and it also has to be very ingenious..." "They're probably thinking about transferring him." "Even if they transfer him to the Amazon," "I'll find him and slaughter him." "You have my word!" "One way or another, that dude's mine." "Give me a few days." "Alright." "Thank you so much." "Excuse me." "How dare you think about going out without bodyguards especially after what happened?" "That's so ridiculous, Osvaldo!" "Come on, honey." "Lower your voice." "They might hear us." "Let them!" "I don't care." "Maybe that way you'll come to your senses." "I agree with Mom." "You can't get rid of your police escort." "I know it's hard to understand." "But think about it." "Pablo Escobar's chasing an elephant..." "The more escorts I have, the more vehicles surrounding me, it'll be easier for him to spot me." "But if I become an afterthought, I'll lose them." "You know why?" "He won't understand that a guy who's been threatened so much can be going around so freely and in a private car." "A private car?" "Yeah." "I can't use a squad car." "I can't be an easy target for him." "I think it's an excellent idea." "But I think we should stick to asking for a transfer." "Well, that's in the works." "That won't happen overnight." "So I have to wait." "I'll do my best to try to confuse the enemy." "I'm meeting Ana Lucia and Andres today." "I'm sure they'll think this solution's ridiculous!" "Ana, it's the only solution." "That way we won't have to risk the lives of all those kids who have nothing to do with this over what's happening in this country." "You know what, sweetie?" "Give me this." "You know what?" "The new strategy and this Virgin will protect me." "It came out really good." "Eat everything, okay?" "You're so kind." "Love's in the air." "Oh, Lord." "If it weren't for Maria Jose, your father would be so lonely here." "Who told my father to stay in this secluded place?" "He likes the hills, he likes the fields." "If you enjoy it, you don't mind." "Listen, Pablo." "I've been thinking about it..." "I think Mr. Galan will be the next president of Colombia." "If Mr. Galan becomes president, he'll extradite every single one of you." "I met with President Caldera." "We've known each other for almost 20 years." "We meet every three to four years." "He asked me, "Do you know why I want you to succeed?"" "I said, "Why, Mr. President?"" "He replied, "You're the only case I know in Latin America, in my fifty years as a politician, who has assumed a non-conformist stance in favor of social change and didn't appeal to violence or Marxism." "If you succeed, you'd be opening the path and demonstrating that it can be done..."" "I'm working hard to stop him from becoming president." "It's a very difficult and complicated endeavor." "You're not getting it, Pablo." "You already made a political move with that Santorini guy." "That didn't work, right?" "You can keep giving him more and more money, but he won't become president of this country." "That's for sure because people don't like him." "But people do like Mr. Galan and they believe in him." "You should try to approach him." "You should try to be a step ahead of the events, try talking to him ahead of time, and propose something interesting." "But you have to deal directly with him, you know?" "Let me finish a couple of things that I have pending..." "I promise you I'll turn my undivided attention to him." "Okay." "We could tap your phone line." "When they call back, we could do something." "Tapping means someone might hear our conversations?" "We can't prevent that." "I think that won't be necessary, General." "I don't care about threats as long as my security plans are in force." "Let me remind you that your security plan is under General Peraza's jurisdiction." "I know that." "Speaking of that, do you know Lieutenant Tomas Pereira?" "That lieutenant is no longer with the force." "I didn't have a chance to get to know him well so I can't give a well-founded opinion." "General, Mr. Galan..." "I already spoke to all the neighbors and there's nothing to worry about." "Very well." "The four escort vehicles are on the way as promised." "They'll be located in strategic positions." "I do need to ask you that your children's outings... are only for occasions when there's a real need." "We need to avoid any vulnerabilities." "Is that okay?" "Thank you so much, General." "Thank you, General." "Excuse me." "General." "Excuse me." "We warned him one last time to see if he'd leave on his own but to no avail." "That's worse for you." "You may end up losing that money." "Yeah, but we had to give him one last chance." "Let's wait for him the let his guard down and we'll whack him." "When would that be more or less?" "We still don't know, sir." "We have to wait for him to be at a public appearance to get to him as we had planned." "The sooner the better for all of us." "Yes, sir." "We've already infiltrated his closest associates." "His head of bodyguards is on my side." "You're in great shape, then!" "Tomorrow may be too late, sir." "We'll have to wait for him to make a public appearance, and that'll be the end of the line for him." "When's that going to be?" "Didn't you say you had infiltrated the bodyguard?" "Well then you should have access to Mr. Galan's agenda." "Be patient Pablo." "This is the worst patient we have ever had to face in our lives." "Everything's pending" "So what's new, kid?" "All nice and orderly." "Take care." "That's it!" "weigh it, weigh it well." "What's new Mechas?" "How are things there?" "What a beautiful production, isn't it?" "Take care, the police!" "the cops are here!" "Don't touch me..." "Look in the back, go to the back." "There must be a way out, look for the doors!" "C'mon patrols, surround the area, surround the area." "The men just left!" "And where is that laboratory?" "Close to Medellin." "I'll await the news." "Yes." "Yes, we'll leave space on the front page." "Alright, we'll keep in touch." "Okay then." "Goodbye." "They found a drug lab." "Apparently it's Escobar's." "Our executioner is going to love that." "Even if he doesn't, we'll publish it anyway." "Mrs. Ana Maria, Nene and I wanted to talk to you about what you told us the other day." "Only you two?" "Yes, we come on behalf of everyone else." "Sit down." "Well... you're not wrong to say that... many of us come to work in fear." "That fear has to be dealt with a tad of humor." "Every time a plane passes by, we say it'll drop a bomb on us." "Yes." "Despite that... despite the fact we don't know what might happen to us, we're committed to Mr. Guillermo and El Espectador." "No one's resigning." "You and your family can count on us no matter what." "Thank you so much." "Deep down..." "I knew that would be the answer, but I still had to give that option." "Thank you." "Pablo, you know I don't agree with those things, but we have to do something about that Colonel." "Fortunately, we had that hideout." "Otherwise, he would've caught me." "3,000 kilos." "That really bites." "I was waiting for that load." "We'll have to cancel it." "That damn Colonel!" "You see?" "That damn Colonel is carrying out operations himself!" "I've got people waiting for his convoy to pass by." "He has to take that route to the police academy." "Stop talking nonsense, Chili." "Just stop." "We already gave him a heads up." "He won't risk it." "Listen to me, Chili." "As of this moment, every single one of our guys will focus exclusively on killing Col. Osvaldo Quitana." "Every single guy!" "That includes the two bums in Bogota!" "Yes, sir." "I'm sorry to bother you, Colonel." "It's not a bother." "How can I help you?" "This doesn't involve me directly." "Can you help me with my father's transfer?" "Cadet... one of our commitments as police officers is to obey our superiors." "Your father was ordered to be in Antioquia." "Don't you think that's a foolish order?" "Staying in Antioquia knowing that they want to kill him?" "Leaving could be considered a cowardly move." "I disagree." "My father is no coward." "It's just survival instinct." "Don't take me wrong, cadet." "I'd do the same." "If I were in your father's shoes" "I'd ask for a transfer, especially knowing Pablo Escobar's vast power." "They don't have a replacement." "He can't just leave." "My father's not leaving his post." "He is still working every day." "He even decided to go out without his police escort." "Do you think that's being a coward?" "Of course not." "Col. Quintana's one of our bravest officers." "Then?" "Let's see..." "What's going to happen to the officer who replaces him?" "He'd have two options:" "Either he could take Pablo Escobar's bribes or die." "Gen. Ulloa knows that very well." "He has to make a pretty tough decision." "Let's see if I understand..." "So the one who has to die is my father?" "Everyone knows Escobar wants to kill my father." "The worst part is that my father feels the police isn't doing anything for him." "Well, there's another solution... but knowing Col. Quintana, it's not likely." "He'd have to ask to be discharged." "Luis Carlos, you should've had back surgery a while ago." "I got tired of telling you the same thing." "You left your books on the dinning room table again." "I'll do that one of these days." "Thanks." "That's enough for today." "How do you expect to become president with a broken back?" "What does my backache have to do with me becoming president?" "You'd always be on the floor and tired." "I've been trying to become president for the past eight years." "My back's been hurting those eight years." "You think I won't tough it out for another four years?" "Good thing there's no reelection." "Good thing!" "Will we be able to go out when you become president?" "Come here." "I assure you this is temporary, okay?" "It'll get better." "I'm scared, Dad." "No." "Don't be." "I'll be alright." "I swear." "Mr. Galan... you're leading in the polls." "If you win those, you'll virtually be the Colombian president." "I'd like to speak to you and to Mrs. Gloria and your sons as well." "Let them go first." "I've said enough." "Who'd like to tell me about the moment with your father you remember the most?" "It's not just one moment." "I've got many from when we go campaigning." "You go campaign with him?" "Yes." "He's the best campaign partner around." "We've been together in about 300 municipalities?" "480!" "They've got some endurance!" "The best part is that he knows which ones are liberal and which ones aren't." "Incredible." "What's the best part of joining your dad?" "First of all, the traveling, since we never get to go out, but what I like the most is going to town squares and seeing how much everyone loves my father." "They look at him, touch him, and hug him..." "They love him very much." "Galan's support has grown exponentially." "He currently leads all opinion polls." "We have to be pragmatic, Pablo." "Mr. Galan must be eliminated, and I know how to do it." "Galan's bringing his message against corruption all over the country." "Hold on a second." "Hold on." "Alright, I hear you now." "What is it?" "The man will make an appearance in Medellin." "You know I'm getting ready to do the job in Bogota." "Can you try to get it done over there?" "Of course, Mariachi." "For sure!" "You know this is our territory." "Send him over here." "We'll welcome him." "I'll take care of him." "Thank you very much." "Pay close attention, people." "Mariachi just called to tell me" "Luis Carlos Galan Sarmiento, the presidential candidate, is coming to Medellin in the upcoming days." "He's coming for a rally, and then he'll give a lecture at the University of Antioquia." "We think this is our perfect chance to finally get him out of the way." "Alright, sir." "Consider it done." "Where do you want us to do it, boss?" "At the rally or at the conference?" "What do you suggest, Topito?" "The rally would be too risky becuase it'll be packed." "It would be a bit more discrete at the university." "You think you look like a student?" "There'll be cops everywhere." "That's true." "We're not going in." "Where are you planning to get him?" "We should blow him up when he's coming in." "I can't believe you still want more car bombs after the mess you made last time." "I was actually considering a rocket." "You've got the people for that?" "Yes, sir." "Go for it." "We have to do it right." "Colonel, the strategy from now on will be to travel in different cars every day?" "That's right." "It was hard to convince the top brass, but I did it." "That's why you're dressed like that." "From now on, since you're going to be at my service, you'll dress as a civilian, and you won't shave." "We have to fool the enemy." "As you wish, sir." "Pineda, all I've got for you is gratitude because of how you serve me, but I want to be straight with you." "I'm one of the most threatened people in this town." "My life is in serious danger." "So if you... if you're not willing to be under my command, just say it." "Colonel, on the contrary." "It's an honor to help ensure your safety." "I will do so in the best possible way." "You've got a family, Pineda." "Are you sure?" "Absolutely, Colonel." "I'll be by your side until I die." "I hope it doesn't have to be like that." "He's the one in black." "Do I look like a ball?" "Go kick your grandma, bro!" "What's up, then?" "What's up, Marino?" "What's up, man?" "How's everything?" "It's good to see you here." "You're doing so well that you've got bodyguards?" "They're friends." "Topo." "Jason Hurtado, but my friends call me Costra." "What's up?" "Here, just kicking it." "Let me ask you a question." "Shoot." "You're still working with rockets?" "That depends." "On what?" "That's a sensitive topic." "It's for my boss." "For sure!" "That's from God!" "I got you!" "Shall we?" "Let's do it." "Keep playing you bunch of stiffs!" "The security for the arrival of Mr. Galan is critical." "We have to guarantee his safety in the rally, as well as in the University." "Understand this." "The street is the critical area." "We'll set up two security rings." "We'll have ongoing searches." "Once in the town square, we'll have support from the neighboring municipalities." "Once there, we'll have snipers in the church and in the governor's office." "Does anyone have any suggestions?" "Confirm the interview." "I will." "Thank you." "There are many requests but one in particular is requesting a public appearance with the mayor of Soacha." "Diego Uribe is organizing the event, and people from the party are participating, too." "What do we tell them?" "What do you think?" "I don't know." "We still have time to think about that." "We should focus on something much more important." "The campaign manager." "You can't go on campaigning without a manager." "I know." "I'd like to have someone who hasn't been with us all along." "Someone from the Liberal party to help me communicate with the party." "I have a proposal." "Cesar Gaviria, the former Minister." "He's liberal and was a very good minister and doesn't have presidential aspirations." "I think he'd be a magnificent liason with the party." "Mr. Cesar Gaviria Trujillo will be my campaign manager." "Cesar Gaviria, the 42 year-old economist, former mayor of Pereira, ex-minister of Finance and of Internal Affairs, joins the Luis Carlos Galan's campaign." "Gaviria is the perfect complement to get Galan closer to the Liberal Party and the political class he had shied away from when he left the Liberal Party to launch his movement." "Back with the Liberal Party, and completely focused on becoming the liberal candidate at the primaries, to elect the candidate he himself proposed as a sure way to do politics in the future." "Hands up, bro!" "What's up, man?" "What do you want?" "What do you want, bro?" "I have a deal for you." "What kind of a deal, bro?" "You got the wrong guy." "I'm a cop." "Really?" "What do you expect me to do?" "You're proud?" "Yeah, very proud?" "Here's the deal..." "You're Colonel Quintana's driver, right?" "Right?" "Okay, this is the deal..." "You'll help me kill Col. Quintana... bring him to me... and I won't kill your family... starting with your daughters." "Don't look so upset, bro." "Take it easy." "See you later." "You know what to do." "Hello." "Mia." "Adelaida, sweetie, is everything okay?" "Don't worry." "I was just remembering" "Grandpa usually finished working at this time, so I called to say hello." "Thank you, sweetheart." "You startled me." "I thought something might have happened to you all." "We're good here." "We're worried about you and my uncles." "You don't have to worry about anything, honey." "The only thing you have to worry about is being happy." "You're a kid." "That's not so easy." "My dad and my uncle are worried all the time." "We miss you, Mia." "Don't cry, sweetheart." "There's nothing going on." "Everything's fine." "You're all doing great over there." "We're good here." "We'll be together soon, honey." "How soon?" "We want to go back to Bogota already." "I don't know." "The minute I find out, I'll let you know, okay?" "Go to bed." "It's really late." "You're going to wake everyone up." "Go ahead to sleep, sweetheart." "Get some rest." "I'm sending lots of kisses your way." "I love you very much, Mia." "I love you too, so much." "How do you like it?" "Looking good, huh?" "Yeah." "We built an exit out back to take off fast." "The cops won't catch us with our pants down, running around like some rats, no way." "Come with me..." "Sweetie." "Hello..." "Fabio, hand me some masks for the kids." "You'll make them wear masks?" "You want them to get high?" "Give me some masks, bro." "This is unbelievable." "Here, Emilio, put this on." "Come here, sweetie." "I'll put this on your face." "Are you crazy or what?" "It smells really bad in here, right?" "Go with Uncle Fabio." "Come with me." "This is truly unbelievable." "What the hell are you doing with the kids here, Patricia?" "Have you lost your mind or what?" "Why?" "You have something to hide?" "What a shame, I thought the kids knew about the family business." "You think Emilio doesn't know what his father does?" "Patricia, I'm begging you don't do this to me, please." "Don't do this to us, please." "That's enough, Pablo." "The kids lost their school." "They don't have friends or anything at all." "We are not normal." "Is this what you want for your family?" "What can we do?" "This is the life we must live, for now." "Fix your problems with the government, stop trafficking cocaine, and move to another country." "That's what we can do to live a normal life." "I'm working on it." "You're working on it?" "By trafficking more cocaine?" "By planting more bombs?" "Is that what you really want for us, Pablo?" "Mrs. Patricia, please understand..." "I can't do anything other than this, right now." "I can't go back." "Don't you get it?" "I'm in too deep." "I have to keep on fighting for my ideals to give you the future you need and deserve." "For you and the children, don't you understand?" "Where's the restroom?" "This is unbelievable."
