"THOSE WHO IGNORE THEIR HISTORY ARE CONDEMNED TO REPEAT IT." "He has to be somewhere." "We have to look." "Help!" "They're coming." "Hang in there." "Help!" "Col. Fernandez, we haven't found them, but we're looking." "Come on!" "Over here!" "Here!" "Come here!" "Diana's wounded!" "Here." "How many were there?" "I don't know." "Maybe five." "I'm here, Ms. Diana." "What matters is Ms. Diana." "Don't worry, Diana." "I'm here." "That's him!" "You rat bastard!" "You bastard!" "Are you positive about what you're saying?" "Confirm it and call me back." "Get me Alberto Villamizar." "When was she released?" "Does her family know?" "That's what I was told." "I don't know any more." "It's the preliminary report." "Diana was rescued in Medellin." "But how is she?" "Why'd they rescue her without talking to us first?" "President Gaviria said they'd talk to me first." "I know it's good news, but..." "Hold on, it's my private phone." "It could be Diana." "Hello?" "Good afternoon, Mr. President." "Mrs. Nidia, I've got news on Diana." "Unfortunately, they're not good." "Nidia?" "What did the president say?" "Please say something." "Hello?" "No, I can't believe it!" "You're correspondent had the wrong information." "I can imagine how sad the president and Mrs. Nidia are." "This is terrible news for everyone involved, including the Extraditables and us, Mr. Santana." "If Pablo Escobar hasn't kept his promise," "I imagine it's because he's planning something worse." "You'll be looking to the stars... or thinking about me." "You'll be hungry, You'll be cold..." "My love, I wish to be with you..." "You told someone you enjoy Sundays and going out for strolls with me." "You said they'd kidnapped our love and the dreams we built, and you grew tired of this war you and I have suffered through." "Forgive me if you're afraid, my love." "I'm not there with you." "You must be talking to the moon, or your silence is mine." "If you're still consumed by rage, use my tears to let it out." "You told someone you missed the children and days of freedom you haven't yet lived." "And I've taken to the streets, dreaming that I could find you." "Indifference and barbarity will never take from you what you feel and what you say, and the love that runs through your veins." "What you dream, sing, and this love... that you sowed in my heart." "You told someone you miss the children and the days of freedom you haven't lived yet." "I shouted, "Justice!" in the streets because of the inhumanity of your prison." "And this wall of indifference will never take from you what you feel, what you say, and the love... that runs through your veins." "What you dream, sing, and this love... that you've sown in my heart." "With several former presidents, her family, members of the government, the armed forces, the courts, and colleagues and fellow journalists in attendance, a mass in honor of Diana Turbay was held today." "She was kidnapped by the Extraditables almost five months ago and died in the crossfire between her captors and the police." "With the death of Diana and the release of Ronald Palacios, four persons are still being held by the Extraditables." "Maruja Pachon, Berenice Villamizar," "Fernan Santana, and Carmiña Bedoya." "If they're listening to this station, we send them a message of hope and solidarity, and our microphones are at the complete disposal of their relatives." "Strength and hope." "Good evening." "This can't happen to us, Candonga." "We're looking like idiots to the public!" "But sir..." "No buts!" "The order was clear!" "If there was any police or military attack everyone was to be murdered!" "Straight to the head!" "Why didn't that happen?" "I don't know." "I haven't been able to contact..." "How can you not talk to the people you're holding?" "Did they all just disappear?" "Find a way to contact them!" "As you wish, sir." "But I've been..." "I need you to reinforce security at those houses." "This won't happen to us again!" "I'll get to it, sir." "What about you, Buitre?" "Did you lose your victim?" "Did she come back from the dead?" "I still don't understand why she's not in the news." "It's very strange." "I swear on the Virgin." "On my dear mother." "I killed that lady." "I whacked her." "It's strange that you don't believe me, boss." "If I catch you lying, you'll feel my wrath." "Yeah." "Be quiet!" "Shut up." "Shut up!" "What were you going to say?" "If I may, boss, I think I know what's going on." "The guys have a worker named Armando who's been missing for a few days." "Turns out this Armando is close with Poncho, who was with him in the kidnapping of Diana Turbay." "It doesn't end there." "This Armando guy owes Poncho $7,500." "He was in the neighborhood asking everyone for money, even his grandma." "Now he's disappeared." "So he sold the guys out to the cops." "That's what I say!" "Two plus two equals four!" "There are no more hostages in Medellin, boss." "The ones in Bogota are in our hideouts." "The guys can't possibly know where they're located." "It's not possible." "Armando was only present for Diana Turbay's kidnapping." "What's that Armando's last name?" "Go where?" "Wherever you want, Pantoja." "Didn't you want to go free?" "That was before Mrs. Diana was killed." "What's the point now?" "We didn't kill anyone." "The bad guys killed her." "What about the protection you offered me?" "Protection?" "All I'm doing is granting your wishes." "You wanted to go free, that's what I'm doing." "What more do you want?" "Everyone's suspicious of me now." "A lot of people knew I owed the guys money." "You want me to lend it to you?" "If I go out there, they'll kill me." "No, they won't." "You came here and said you could defend yourself." "Go ahead." "Do it." "That's not the deal we had." "I didn't make any deal with you, Pantoja." "I don't make deals with criminals." "Out." "I'm sorry to bother you at this hour, especially after such a difficult day." "The Extraditables have just left a letter here at the paper." "I'm glad you have news." "What does it say?" "The Extraditables want the public to know that the missions that brought about the death of journalist Diana Turbay were the result of imprudence by the criminal police which kidnapped and tortured one of our militants into giving them the location of the hostages." ""We also confirm that this same group gave the order to execute hostage Carmiña Bedoya."" "The order was executed two days ago in Bogota." "We still don't understand why the criminal police have irresponsibly not yet reported finding her body." "They've cut us off from the world because they've killed her." "I know they killed her." "Speak softly!" "Don't say that, Maruja!" "You know it's true!" "You just don't want to accept it." "But that's fine for you." "Have you taken all your pills?" "That's why they took the TV and the radio when they took her." "They didn't want us to find out!" "Lower your voice." "You're making me nervous." "Please be quiet." "Why'd you take the TV and radio?" "You killed Carmiña, didn't you?" "What's wrong?" "My chest hurts!" "It's either gas or a heart attack." "What happened?" "I don't know!" "Help me!" "Get him out of here." "Quickly!" "He weighs so much!" "Listen up, Pablo." ""By way of Decree 303 of 1991, the government is offering several benefits to individuals wishing to turn themselves in to the law, and it guarantees them, no exceptions, that they will not be extradited to the U.S."" "That's a clear message, Pablo." "What do you think?" "I'm not interested." "If you want to keep your brothers company, go right ahead." "I've got no problem with that." "Come on, Pablo." "This is a once in a lifetime chance." ""No exceptions, they will not be extradited to the U.S." "for crimes, confessed or not, prior to turning themselves in."" "It doesn't get any better." "Yes, it does." "I want more." "It's too easy for the government to make up some kind of crime once we've turned ourselves in so they can extradite us the next day." "And another thing... you think the Americans will allow the government to humiliate itself like this?" "No way!" "And another, far more serious thing." "What if the next president comes to power thanks to drug trafficking money, and is infiltrated by the Cali Cartel?" "We'll be on a silver platter for them." "Don't be so naive or stupid." "Forget it." "That decree is worthless." "It's nonexistent!" "It's nothing!" "I don't know what you want." "The Government's not giving us any more, that's it." "I'm not asking them for anything special." "I'm saying this decree is crap!" "We have to go all the way, straight to the constitution." "It needs to be a political change." "We got them to do a referendum." "Let's wait for them to vote to our benefit." "When the constitution clearly forbids the extradition of Colombians to the U.S., that's when I'll gladly turn myself in." "That's something certain that'll help us." "Meanwhile, I'll continue the struggle... killing whomever I must, kidnapping, whatever it takes." "Don't let them make a fool of you." "Here." "Read and learn." "I'm begging you, Mireya." "Don't let me die." "I need your help." "What'd you do to have to go into hiding?" "Nothing." "You think I'm dumb?" "I wasn't born yesterday, honey." "Remember I was trying to borrow some money from Poncho?" "Well, he died." "People think I didn't pay him, but I did." "That's why they want to kill you?" "Yeah." "And after paying back that money, I don't owe anything." "That's why I just need a few days." "Two weeks at the most." "$7,500 and two weeks?" "That's a lot." "What did you do for Candonga to be looking for you?" "So Pablo Escobar's looking for me?" "Now I'm really screwed." "I'm screwed!" "I can help you." "Those men would do anything for Chili." "Really?" "Do you really think you can talk to Candonga for me?" "I swear it wasn't my fault." "But you have to tell me the truth." "Open up." "I'm expecting a delivery." "Hello." "Look, dead man walking." "Is he bothering you?" "No, it's fine." "Candonga says hello." "So let's go talk." "Everything is fine, buddies." "Go on, honey." "Don't worry." "Let's talk in here." "Come on!" "Armandito who didn't walk right." "Man, Chili and I sure went to a lot of parties." "These guys?" "Oh yeah." "Please, guys..." "Hello, counsel." "Mr. Pablo." "Did you think that I'd just forget that you abandoned us in the middle of all the work?" "Of course not." "You know that..." "Don't give me any excuses." "We're going to resolve this now." "Don't worry." "Nothing's going to happen to you." "Listen very carefully." "The government is finally showing the will to negotiate with us in order to resolve this conflict, our differences, through that infamous decree." "We are willing to heed the government's call." "I believe that's very smart of you, Mr. Pablo." "That's why we need to hire a lawyer, a really fierce one like you, who can be the messenger between us and the government." "I really appreciate this, Mr. Pablo." "But please understand." "I resigned because I didn't want to be in the middle of a relationship as complex as the one you have with the government." "So?" "I really appreciate your offer, but no, Mr. Pablo." "Do you realize the Extraditables is going to free one of the hostages they're holding?" "I'm here again because I care about the country's well-being." "We understand that and we appreciate it." "We hadn't had any news from the Extraditables in weeks." "The news I bring will surely be good for you." "Go ahead." "Speak!" "Why did they only say they're releasing one hostage?" "What about the rest?" "When will they be let go?" "It's best you calm down." "This is only the headline." "Do we know who they're freeing?" "Yes." "I'm very sorry, but it's not Fernan." "This can't go on, Mr. Patarroyo." "The decree is in place." "We can't offer more." "Why aren't they turning themselves in?" "They're saying the Medellin police continues to attack them." "Until that ends, they won't turn themselves in." "I said it." "I said they'd find another excuse to invalidate the decree." "Who'll be next?" "Maruja?" "My sister?" "It's incredible, right?" "We were the only ones who knew Carmina was alive, when everyone thought she was dead." "And now we're the only ones who don't know if she's alive." "How's Memin?" "Bad." "The heart attack killed him." "Really?" "Yeah, the replacement guards are coming tonight." "What?" "Who are you, then?" "I own this ranch." "Stop asking questions, or I may say more than I should." "Why don't you bring us the TV and the radio?" "I have news for you." "Is it about Carmina?" "She's fine and says hello." "I don't believe you." "The other piece of news is that you're being released." "Me?" "Yeah." "You really mean it?" "Yeah." "What about Maruja?" "I have no idea." "But don't get too excited because I don't know when it'll happen." "I'm so sorry, Maruja." "I know." "Don't worry." "I'm very happy for you..." "I know, Maruja." "Listen, Topo." "Do me a huge favor, and give this money to Mireya." "Tell her it's a token of my appreciation for everything she did for us." "Yes, sir." "Tell her I'll pay her a visit one of these days." "Marino, get some clothes ready to travel to Bogota." "I'm all ears, sir." "You'll take part in a historic event that's going down right now in the country's capital." "You'll do your bit in the Constituent Assembly by giving its honorable members a little push so they do their job correctly." "Take the bribe or the bullet?" "That's right!" "Candonga!" "Yes, sir." "I want you up at the break of dawn to release that lady." "Yes, sir." "I'll tell you why." "There's nothing more precious than people's freedom." "Whatever you say, Mr. Pablo." "Alright." "Help me bring the horse." "I'll put its base here, next to the chairs, so it's in the camera shot." "What do you think?" "Yeah." "You don't seem too happy about the news, Pascual." "But I am." "I'm so happy." "You can't imagine how happy, but nothing's ever complete in life." "We still need to secure Maruja's release." "That's coming." "Berenice's release was the first step, a huge, first step." "We just need them to release Maruja and..." "Fernan." "That's it." "What if Escobar doesn't mind having two or three hostages and he's just playing head games with us?" "I'll go get the screwdriver." "Excuse me." "Come on, Ms. Berenice." "Blow them out." "Why would she?" "It's not her birthday." "Don't tell me you'll sing happy birthday." "This is her farewell, Ms. Maruja." "That's why we're celebrating." "Join me, will you?" "Let's blow it out together." "No, you do it." "Ready?" "Great." "I'll go cut the cake." "I'll go with you." "I'd love to give you champagne, but we don't have any here." "This is so ridiculous." "Our jailer is celebrating because he doesn't have to guard us anymore." "My torture's over." "I'm sure you'll be out of here soon, Maruja." "How do I look?" "You look great." "Don't lie to me, Maruja." "We've been locked up in here for three months." "Should I put on makeup, fix my hair?" "What should I do?" "No, don't put on any makeup." "What would you show reporters?" "That you were on a field trip instead of kidnapped?" "Show them the reality, Berenice." "Show them." "I won't come out looking frightful either." "No way." "Comb my hair, at least." "I'll fix you up." "Give me your comb." "Here." "Your hair looks nice." "That's despite our pasta and rice diet." "Which one of you is Berenice?" "Who are you?" "You must be Maruja... the feisty one." "Let's go." "Move it." "Hold on, please." "Please... tell Alberto and the kids that I love them." "And remember the other thing..." "I love you so much." "Come on." "Move it!" "I'm coming." "We'll be together soon." "God bless you." "Let's go!" "Or do you want to stay?" "No, no..." "I'm coming." "Hurry up." "Take care." "God bless..." "Hurry up!" "Listen carefully." "I'll only say this once." "If they ask you how long the trip to Bogota was, tell them it took three hours!" "You were never with Carmina and you don't know where you were, alright?" "Yes, don't worry." "You know quite well what may happen to your sister-in-law if the cops attempt to rescue her with your clues." "I already told you there's nothing to worry about." "Alright, as soon as you get out, count to 30, take off your hood... catch the first cab you see, and go home." "I'll give you five thousand pesos." "Get out." "Come on!" "Get out!" "Go." "Taxi!" "Thank you, Lord." "We'll be there, soon." "Thanks." "I'm sure you're happy to be free again." "What?" "Don't get scared, ma'am." "I've seen you on TV so many times that I recognized you right away." "Hello?" "What happened?" "I'm on my way." "Thank you very much." "Sis!" "Alberto!" "I'm so glad this moment's finally here!" "Maruja and Fernan are still there." "I know..." "Tell me about it." "But what matters is they released you." "That's a huge step." "We'll get Maruja next." "How are you?" "How do you feel?" "Well... how do I look being locked up for so long?" "Do you want to look at yourself in the mirror?" "You can stop whispering." "You're free already." "Berenice... sis." "Look at me." "Come with me." "Look at me." "You look very pretty." "Don't worry about a thing." "You look very pretty." "Relax." "Actually, how's Maruja?" "Are they treating her okay?" "Is she taking her medication on time?" "Yeah, she's taking her medications, but you know how temperamental she is, and she butts heads with others sometimes..." "I want to call Carmina." "I want to talk to her." "Give me the phone, please." "Carmina was murdered." "I already said I won't eat." "You have to eat, ma'am." "Ma'am my foot." "I won't eat until you bring me the TV set and the radio." "I need to know what happened to Berenice." "Think about what you'll tell your boss if you let me die over a TV set." "So... have you heard any news from Mr. Escobar?" "You told him I couldn't do anything about the cops, right?" "Yes, I explained that quite clearly to him." "What did he say?" "He said that your wife and your son, Mr. Santana, are fine and that they'll be fine." "You have to be patient." "Patient?" "He wants us to be patient?" "Fernan's been kidnapped for six months." "Six months in the hands of those degenerates!" "Well, Maruja a little less, but you're asking for patience?" "Believe me." "I know how you feel." "I made that quite clear to Pablo." "But he insists that this is a business." "He already responded to the decree and now the government has to take the next step." "This is so frivolous!" "This back and forth won't get us anywhere." "And time is passing by." "He's not releasing them." "Their condition is increasingly uncertain." "How much longer?" "Believe me." "I know where you're coming from, but Pablo insists that you have the power to get Medellin's police to stop violating his rights." "This is absurd." "Completely absurd!" "I wouldn't promise him anything I can't deliver." "Honestly..." "I haven't promised him any of that." "Mr. Santana..." "I never thought my life would be turned upside down because of a client." "Believe me." "I'm scared." "Scared?" "Scared of what, buddy?" "Of knowing too much." "Breaking news." "German Motoa has just checked in to the Itagui Prison." "The alleged Medellin Cartel drug trafficker surrendered to authorities under the terms of the newly enacted Decree 303." "But not all news coming from Medellin is so positive." "Ten minutes after a bullfight ended, a bomb exploded across from the bullring." "The casualties haven't been determined yet." "Eight members of the national police died in the attack." "No, what they're doing is crazy." "And Maruja's still locked away!" "How awful!" "Berenice, sweetie..." "I need you to tell me the whole truth." "You remember where you were, right?" "Listen, Maruja asked me not to relay any clues." "You're so reckless, you'll take off, and then what?" "So what?" "No way!" "With all due respect, General..." "Escobar just murdered eight of my best men." "And you're asking for prudence?" "I'm not only asking for prudence, Colonel." "I demand you stop carrying out raids in which the military and the police may be questioned." "I haven't carried out any questionable raids, General." "Those men died because they shot at us first." "It's completely false, sir." "We don't raid neighborhoods killing innocent souls." "For the love of God!" "I verified it myself." "They were hit men hired by Escobar." "Colonel, I'm very familiar with Escobar's filthy MO." "That's why we can't give him reason to make us look like the country's worst criminal force." "Please, General." "Escobar's making all this up." "It's a smoke screen to delay his surrender." "That's all." "Gentlemen, we all know what we're talking about." "Is this the informant who took us to the ranch where they were holding Ms. Diana Turbay?" "Yes, but..." "You don't think one of my men killed him, do you?" "That'd be absurd!" "It's quite obvious the Extraditables killed him." "But he led us to where there were two hostages." "Yeah, but we didn't know those hostages were there." "We used him, and we let him go." "I believe you didn't know." "But I don't like how the situation was handled." "It's the reason why we're under the President's scrutiny and that of the public opinion, unfortunately." "Colonel, do you know now why I'm talking about prudence?" "Some plantains?" "Yes, thanks very much." "At least here you'll be safer, right?" "You're right about that, sir." "A rib, please." "Everything on the outside became too dangerous." "The family could barely even get together." "We only ever got together to talk about bad news, like when we were cornered into turning ourselves in, right?" "That served its purpose." "Enjoy." "Thanks." "You three are here, safe and sound, knowing you'll never set foot in the U.S." "What more do you want?" "That's true." "One thing though, sir." "Neither this government nor the next had better let us down." "Don't worry." "I can assure you that won't happen." "Well, you know why I'm here talking to you again." "Listen..." "I told you last time, and I'll say it again." "Unfortunately, we can't do anything for your wife." "But you're very close to Escobar." "You know how to contact him." "All I need is to meet that man." "You don't get it." "Get your head out of the clouds." "Pablo Escobar won't see you." "Maruja's been held by the Extraditables for almost six months." "Do you know what that's like?" "Have you ever been kidnapped?" "This war isn't doing anyone any good." "If Escobar doesn't free the hostages, things are going to get worse." "There won't be any more chances or any more decrees." "This will be an all-out war!" "I'll give you an example." "Let's suppose I can't do anything to free Maruja, that I can't negotiate her release, and I lose her." "What would happen then with you locked up in here if the war gets ugly?" "Who would that benefit?" "Nobody." "If you won't help me contact Escobar, if I can't get him to trust the terms of the surrender, things are going to get very ugly." "I must talk to that man." "I need things to move forward." "Sir, I'm really sorry for you." "Believe me, we've been through that situation." "My family can help you, but it's not my brothers you should be talking to." "Mr. Julio, thanks for having me in your home." "It's truly an honor to have a man as important as you in my home." "Thank you for this, but I'm stuffed." "I've eaten too much already." "Come on." "Eat." "There's nothing worse than eating by oneself." "Thanks very much." "Enjoy." "I told Mr. Villamizar that maybe you could help with the issue of his wife." "Sir, the truth is..." "Pablo and I are hardly friends." "We've known each other a long time." "He respects me, and I respect him." "Sure, there's no need to clarify that." "But I want to." "I don't want my name connected with that of a criminal." "Well, Mr. Julio, what I need to know is how to get this going again." "You need to speak to Pablo." "Tell me what to do." "How can I talk to him?" "The most important thing is that you be a man of your word." "You must do as you say." "Pablo and my sons have been let down too many times, and they might think this time is no different." "My wife is still a hostage." "Do you really think I'll let him down?" "Well, then talk to him." "Show him you're a man of your word." "Show him you're a gentleman." "That, my dear man, that's the first step." "That was easy." "What's up, Miguelito?" "Everything's fine, sir." "How's it been working with the Motoas?" "It's been great." "You know the Motoas are great people." "And they're very generous." "They're paying you well?" "Of course!" "That's very important." "Let me tell you something." "What's even more important is that it not go to your head." "In life, one has to be simple and down-to-earth and never forget where one came from." "Of course not, boss." "Never." "And you have an advantage that Candonga here doesn't have." "You're a clean-cut guy with a nice face, and that helps." "Being clean-cut helps a lot." "Thanks a lot, boss." "Tell the Motoas the following." "Yes, sir?" "Even if Mr. Villamizar begs me and sends me love letters, kneels, does headstands, or has 36 million Colombians beg me," "I'm still killing his wife." "That's nonnegotiable." "I'll give him your message, sir." "My pleasure." "Thanks very much."
