"THOSE WHO IGNORE THEIR HISTORY ARE CONDEMNED TO REPEAT IT." "This is just unbelievable!" "What have we come to?" "I would've never believe this." "These crazy guys dressed up as cyclists." "I gotta tell you, German's the craziest one." "How's that?" "Who believed you were a cyclist?" "A trainer." "He looks like a water balloon, right?" "You little s***." "You know you do look funny." "They didn't have anything bigger." "So Pablo, how's it going?" "Fortunately, really well, Pedrito." "Good for you." "Listen up because this is a short visit." "The thing is we've been thinking about this issue." "It's not our final decision, but we're seriously considering turning ourselves in." "Honestly, Pablo, I must say..." "Things are getting complicated and unsafe." "I don't know if you've heard, but..." "Ramada thinks we shouldn't let anyone turn themselves in." "What do you mean, man?" "Let's be straight, Pablo." "We're like family, man." "You don't want us killing each other, do you?" "Of course not, Pedro." "How could you say such a thing?" "I immediately set Ramada straight." "But you have to understand that this issue of turning people in is a delicate and very complicated matter." "Hold on, Pablo." "No one is turning anyone in." "It needs to be clear that no one will turn anyone in." "All we have to do is confess to a crime." "That's what the decree requires, nothing else." "Let me explain something to you, Julito." "You've been free to do whatever you want with your lives." "You've always had my blessing." "But if you're asking me, I'll answer you." "I think that decree is very dangerous." "That decree could be tricky." "I'll tell you why." "Hire some lawyers, and let's say the government does." "It's vulnerable and can be manipulated, and they could add a clause, a norm, a new section." "So the decree you sign happily today with your fingerprints, could become a huge billboard that says," ""Welcome to the United States,"" "because it turns out your decree became your extradition ticket." "Meanwhile, you had no idea." "Do you understand?" "Listen up, guys." "What Pablo says makes sense, and he's completely right." "Of course I'm completely right." "I'm telling you." "I've sought counsel, and I'm asking you to do the same." "Get informed before signing or accepting that decree." "Hire some lawyers and if you want, get gringos to explain these things to you." "But if you'll sign this decree, you need to scrutinize it." "Check the commas, parentheses, the periods... everything." "As it stands now, I think that decree is completely biased and suicidal." "In the end, everything represents a life change." "That's right." "Well, at least we're more relaxed now." "No kidnapping issues or struggles with Escobar..." "Yes, Daniel, I'm glad you're not involved in that anymore." "Now we'll be much more relaxed." "What's wrong?" "!" "My ankle!" "Please, Carmiña, call the guys to help us." "My ankle!" "My ankle!" "Alright, calm down." "We'll go to the clinic." "It's alright." "It hurts!" "Alright, guys." "Get up!" "Hey!" "Get a move on." "We're leaving!" "Get up, guys." "Hurry up." "Let's go." "So what's going on?" "Where are we going?" "Father Reyes is almost at the house where we'll meet." "Don't worry." "Come in." "Is this the house where we'll do the interview?" "That's right, ma'am." "And why at this hour?" "It's to be safe." "You know..." "Our Commander can't be out in daylight, so the interview must be done before dawn." "You know what?" "I don't believe you at all." "Tell us right now why we're here." "What's going on?" "Why are we here?" "That's the truth, ma'am." "It's not true!" "Father Reyes isn't coming to Medellin." "You know why?" "He has no idea we were lied to and brought here supposedly to interview him." "We're leaving." "You're not going anywhere, ma'am." "What's going on?" "Armando, bring the others." "Come in." "Go in." "Be quiet, please." "Dear reporters, we're not a guerrilla group." "You're under the authority of the Extraditables." "So go into the bedroom." "Armando, you know what to do." "Let's go." "Field trip is over." "Easy." "Come on." "Cooperate with us." "Go in, man." "Cooperate." "Come on." "I know you haven't reached your trip's final destination." "I also feel very bad having to call you about this." "It turns out Diana decided to interview Father Reyes." "We're worried because we haven't heard from her since." "She left last Thursday and said she'd be gone for five days." "She should be back in Bogota by now." "So I think you should return right away." "I will, but tell me what you know." "I know nothing." "Like I said, she hasn't called." "She hasn't called the newsroom and hasn't even called here to say she's fine." "You're right." "That worries me." "She should be back." "That means we need to react." "I'll cancel my trip immediately and go back to Bogota." "Yes, I think it's important for you to be here." "Mr. President, Diana left long ago to do that interview." "She should be back by now." "If she were fine, she would've called already." "Mr. President," "I took the liberty of sending some emissaries to the guerrillas." "They say they don't have Diana and don't know anything about an interview with Father Reyes." "Mr. President, please understand my concern and help us." "I called Julio Cesar, and he canceled his trip." "We all knew that when Diana accepted that interview, it was very risky." "She did it for Colombia's peace." "The other reporters' relatives haven't gotten any word either?" "No." "General." "Mr. President, we shouldn't draw hasty conclusions, but based on the details and the time she's been missing, unfortunately, I'd dare say she was kidnapped." "The question now is by whom?" "Mr. Giraldo." "If the guerrillas say they don't have them, there is only one other group that's done this before." "Quit arguing." "Go home and rest." "You've done enough for today." "There's much to be done here." "Let me help you, okay?" "I said no." "Don't be so stubborn." "It's bad enough you won't listen." "Now you want to work all day too." "No, ma'am." "Go home." "You know me." "I like to keep busy." "I won't stay locked up at home, even if I break my back!" "Enough, go home to rest." "Please help her." "Goodbye, my dear." "Alright, be careful." "See you later, dear." "The old lady closed the door." "Hello, ma'am." "I'm sorry, but we're closed." "Come on, ma'am, please." "We're starving." "We'll even take some rice and eggs." "With some ketchup." "Fine, fine." "Hold on a moment." "Thank you." "She's so sweet, reminds me of my Aunt Lucy." "Really?" "Yes, she's just like her." "So sweet." "We're going in." "What are you doing?" "Let me go!" "Come here." "Stop right there!" "Don't move!" "Don't move!" "Get out!" "Let's go!" "Let's go, guys!" "Get in there." "Breaking news." "This just in." "Police have confirmed that in the last few hours," "Fernan Santana, reporter and editor of the paper El Tiempo, and Carmiña Bedoya, sister of former government secretary, Daniel Bedoya, have been kidnapped in Bogota." "They're messing with the son of the owner of the country's biggest newspaper." "I get it now." "This confirms their kidnapping and ours are part of one plan." "Of course, it's a strategy to pressure the government." "But what is it that you see now, Ms. Diana?" "Well..." "This means we're not the only ones." "That's why the Extraditables haven't made it public... to avoid alerting the others." "It's impossible that after 19 days of us being held hostage, the government isn't aware of it." "They probably suspect it." "That or they think we're dead." "This is a really complicated situation for this country." "It'll be very difficult for President Gaviria." "I think that the government will have to issue a statement and make an appeal for the journalists to be released." "Oh God, this complicates matters for Fernan's father and for mine as well." "But President Turbay is a very sensible person." "I know he'll know how to handle this situation." "Oh, God." "I'm so worried about him and my mother!" "Azu..." "I want to read you something I wrote in my journal." "I hope they can get this message soon." ""Dad..." "I know that we cannot negotiate our principles, and I understand that." "I hope to God that the decision made, whatever it is, be the best one for our peace interests."" "Alright..." "What's going on?" "What's all the talking?" "Are you happy with the news?" "Why are you so rude?" "Why speak to us like that?" "Show some respect!" "I think it's time we're allowed to contact our families." "Very soon, Ms. Turbay." "Very soon." "Now stop annoying me, or I'll take away the radio." "We need to move heaven and earth to find them, General." "We can't have what happened with the Pastrana kidnapping when they took him to Medellin." "Do you understand?" "I completely understand, Mr. President." "Right now the entire police force is looking for them." "I promise you that..." "Hello?" "Tell me it isn't true." "That Carmiña is here." "No." "Enter carefully, honey." "This is your new home." "Please get comfortable, change, and get some rest." "You'll be here for a while." "Hold on." "Hold on, please." "Can you get me something for my backache?" "This isn't a drugstore, honey." "Just lie on the other side, and relax, like a told you." "My brother..." "He isn't in power anymore, so it's useless to kidnap me." "Honey, let me tell you something." "I just follow orders and get paid." "Talk to the big man." "Who's the big man?" "Pablo Escobar?" "Watch your mouth, honey." "Stop asking questions, or you could get hurt." "Get comfortable." "Hold on." "Hold on, please." "Get me a painkiller, please." "I can barely move." "And some matches for my candle and cigarettes." "Your matches." "Use them wisely." "They're few." "I'll bring you the pills." "Relax." "You're in good hands." "There's a small step there." "Turn left." "Be careful." "Go straight." "Go straight." "There's a door right here." "Watch your head." "Go left." "Go through there, careful." "Go on, sir." "That's it." "You can take off your glasses." "Alright, sir, this is your space." "You have a TV so you can watch the Santa Fe soccer match." "I imagine you're their fan." "I'm an Once fan." "Turn it on." "Wait." "Tell me..." "Why am I here?" "Hold on a second." "Give me that thing, please." "No, I can't live without it." "I'm asthmatic." "Fine." "Here you go, so you can watch the game and relax." "So, why am I here?" "Tell me." "Why am I here?" "Why am I being held?" "What happened?" "No, nothing has happened, but my father used to tell me," ""Son, don't ask." "Just do as you're told."" "That's what I do, what I'm told." "I'm sorry I can't stay with you." "I'll watch the match somewhere else." "Hold on." "Could I call my family, communicate with them, and tell my wife that I'm okay?" "No, you can't." "Hold on." "It's just that..." "I'd like to watch the match, but stay so we can talk, okay?" "You talk a lot for someone who's scared." "No, hold on." "What's going on?" "With what?" "Where am I?" "Where are you?" "In God's hands with God." "May the Holy Virgin be with you." "Those three "Chuscos" ended up being real champs," "Congratulations." "Boss, I had told you." "Those three were more effective than anything." "We have to pay them soon, and keep them working for us." "Yes, sir" "They already know what their work is and how to do it very well." "Who baptized them Chuscos?" "They baptized themselves Chuscos, because of the authorities." "And because they all have a ch in their names," "Poncho, Sancho and Lucho." "Leave me alone now." "I'm going to talk to my wife." " Yes, sir." " Thank you very much," "But what?" "At last?" "Thank you very much,Turn seven." "What's this?" "You mother sent it to you." "Oh this is really delicious." "Thank you very much, my love." "With pleasure." "Mister, I read the surrender decree." "What do you think?" "It has everything you need." "Listen..." "You could confess to a crime, whatever it is, you're put in jail." "Meanwhile, Peluche and I take care of the money, business, everything, and you won't have to worry about anything." "Let's say you spend five years, or seven at the most." "You're very young." "You'll be released when you're 45 or 47, and we can enjoy ourselves." "We'll spend our money, spend time with family, be happy." "How long is the presidential term?" "Four years." "How long has Mr. Cesar Gaviria Trujillo been president?" "He just took office." "So how long does he have left?" "Four years." "Right." "What happens if in five years a new president takes office and revokes that decree?" "What if he decides to extradite me?" "Then the Americans give me five life sentences, on top of the five years I'd already have." "How many years is that?" "Pablo, the president is giving you an opportunity." "I know that, honey." "Yes." "And I appreciate it." "The problem is the one who gives the opportunities is Pablo Emilio Escobar Gaviria, not Cesar Gaviria Trujillo." "That's the big difference, and I won't give him that opportunity yet." "Breaking news!" "It's been confirmed that the Pluton Newscast Director and the other missing journalists are being held hostage by the Extraditables, who made public their demands." "The Extraditables were very clear on two issues." "First, a guarantee they won't be extradited to the U.S." "Secondly, a substantial reduction of sentences." "Besides avoiding jail time in the U.S., they want walking papers." "That's right." "They'll kill my son." "They'll kill him!" "Please, Mr. Santana, calm down." "No government in the world would grant them pardon." "Right, Mr. Gaviria?" "You're absolutely right." "That won't happen, not during my administration." "Have a heart, Mr. Gaviria." "I understand how you and all the hostages' relatives feel." "But please understand my position." "I'm this country's president." "How do I tell Colombians that the worst criminal in our history will be pardoned?" "Mr. Giraldo, you've got a call." "They said it's important." "Excuse me, please." "All I can say is that we need to accept reality." "These guys will kill our children." "That doesn't help us at all, Mr. Santana." "Escobar won't kill anyone." "He's holding the hostages to pressure the government." "He always liked doing that." "He wants to have more power than the government, so he can make demands." "He's been in that position before." "Not only when he kidnapped my son, but thousands of times, when he planted bombs, when he killed politicians, policemen, judges..." "I thought he'd finally leave me alone." "What can we do, Mr. President?" "I'm not just speaking on my behalf." "I speak for my brothers as well." "Mr. Girlado... we're turning ourselves in." ""Dear Mom," "While I've been away from home, I've been able to understand how difficult it is to be away from your loved ones, especially when you don't have anything." "But I don't want you to be sad because I know we'll soon... be together again, recalling this ugly moment" "that I wish upon no human being." "Say hello to everyone." "Many blessings to all." "I love you and miss you all, Diana."" "How disrespectful!" "Haven't they told you to be dressed?" "Now we have to put up with you all naked?" "Get out of here!" "Get dressed!" "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." "Those who know me know it isn't easy for me to record this message." "When my son Fernan was kidnapped, I was abroad." "I came back immediately." "But someone called the paper to say the Extraditables had claimed responsibility." "Then they said the Extraditables didn't want to turn themselves in." "They wanted political treatment." "Typical Escobar demand." "He found out what happened with the MR-20 group." "So that's what he wants." "Mr. President, they're willing to negotiate." "Mr. Santana, there's a decree in place, so that any drug trafficker who turns himself in will be assured by law that he won't be extradited to the U.S." "That's subject to negotiation." "Obviously they feel it isn't enough." "Mr. President... it's your duty to save the lives of our children." "They're in a very dangerous situation." "I'm well aware of that, Ms. Nidia." "It seems reasonable to me that we give this organization political treatment each and every time our nation finds it necessary to resolve the incredibly difficult situation we're in." "After receiving a request from the Extraditables to be recognized politically and thus pardoned for their crimes," "President Gaviria reiterated that this will not be possible." "He has the full support of former president Julio Cesar Turbay, father of Diana Turbay, the reporter kidnapped by the Extraditables." "He reiterated that constitutional principles come before all else." "President Gaviria also insisted on inviting the other members of cartels to take advantage of the decree that was already enacted." "The government is saying they can't give you the pardon you want, Mr. Pablo." "That the decree of surrender is more than enough." "That's not true." "With that decree, no Colombian has any assurance he won't be extradited to the U.S." "The decree is very clear." "It states that if you confess to a crime, you won't be sent to the U.S." "When will you, the government, and everyone else understand the magnitude of the problem they all have?" "The Extraditables have seven distinguished, innocent persons!" "I know that." "I'm only delivering the government's message." "In fact, they say they can't negotiate if you don't release the hostages." "You've had them more than two months." "Forget it." "So they make a fool of me again?" "No way!" "No way." "That's not happening." "Tell them to get serious." "Tell them to man up." "This is no game." "It's business." "This is a negotiation." "This isn't a game of chicken." "Is Centenario Avenue open?" "Wide open." "Alright." "Tell the government that the Extraditables demand political treatment right off the bat." "We also demand that the Supreme Court strip the government of all powers to extradite citizens to the United States." "You have to be more aware of what you're asking." "It's not me asking." "Again, it's a request from the Extraditables." "I'm just their messenger." "They also want the government to know that if they don't do this, they'll start executing the hostages... one per week." "It's that simple." "You know what?" "Pull over, Marino." "No more screwing around." "Good night, Counsel." "What do you mean?" "You're just leaving me here?" "I said good night." "Good night." "Damn it!" "How's the Bogota thing going?" "It's going, sir." "Alright." "I can't take it anymore." "I thought the day would never end." "I can't wait to get home... and soak my feet in hot water." "What is it?" "I don't know." "It's like I sense danger." "It's a strange feeling." "Don't mind me." "It'll be fine." "Come on." "Thank you." "So how do you like your new job?" "It's great, Ms. Maruja." "Thank you for this opportunity." "Do you like wearing a uniform?" "I really don't care." "I like being dressy, ma'am." "Okay, as you wish." "If you have a moment, I'd like to go over the decree of surrender with you to see what modifications or changes we can make to it." "The decree is sufficiently clear and generous for whomever wants to take advantage of it." "I don't think we have to change it in any way." "What worries me is that the Motoa brothers were willing to turn themselves in but only if a new decree is enacted." "All they want is to be protected from extradition." "I won't make any concessions." "Whoever wants to turn himself in may do so." "Whoever doesn't, will continue to face persecution." "Relax, bro." "I think it's good that we discuss this." "We understand your point of view, gentlemen." "But you all need to understand ours too." "What does that mean?" "That you're turning yourselves in anyway?" "Yeah." "So what if we are?" "Are you planning on killing us?" "That's what we heard Pablo say... that you guys wanted to mow us all down simply because we're going to do some hard time." "Calm down, Julio." "It's not that simple, Julito." "We're talking about turning ourselves in." "We're talking about getting shorter sentences in exchange for snitching on our associates." "That's what really worries us." "No one's going to snitch on anyone here." "Gentlemen... that's why we sent for you." "So we could discuss this." "Our interest, as Motoas, is to resolve our problems with the Colombian authorities." "That's all." "And without affecting the interests of others." "Exactly." "But we also want you to tell us how you plan on killing us." "Cool it, Julito!" "Cool it!" "?" "Let these mountain boys speak!" "Let's hear how they're going to mess with us." "Do you think that because you've got a little money and you can traffic without anyone on your heels, you now have the power to kill off the ones who invented this business?" "Easy." "If there's one thing my buddy and I have, it's humility." "We've stared down the gun's barrel." "We've backed every decision made." "And we've always stood firmly by you all and Pablo." "Have you forgotten?" "Besides, this isn't about having any power." "No way." "This is about survival." "Listen, gentlemen." "Once again..." "I swear on my father that our intention isn't to rat anybody out." "And we believe you." "We really do." "In fact... you have our word that we won't take any action against you." "That's good." "Thank you very much." "Thank you." "One thing, though... if one of us doesn't keep his word, his family will pay for it." "Are we clear?" "We are." "Alright." "Don't worry." "It won't come to that." "You got it." "Cheers." "Why don't you come have lunch at my house on Saturday?" "I haven't seen Alberto in ages." "Neither have I." "You know how your brother is." "But sounds good." "I'll let you know." "Okay." "Oh no, don't light up in the car." "Oh no!" "They're going to rob us!" "We're being robbed." "Put the window up!" "Don't kill us." "No!" "No, please!" "No!" "Don't hurt me!" "Come on." "Don't make me hurt you." "No!" "Don't hurt me!" "Don't hurt me!" "It's done." "See you at our meeting spot." "Don't move, Ms. Maruja, or you're dead." "You have a call." "Thanks." "Yes?" "What?"
