"THOSE WHO IGNORE THEIR HISTORY ARE CONDEMNED TO REPEAT IT." "I don't understand." "What do I have to say?" "Whatever you want." "It's a video I wanna give Grandpa to let him know how much we love him." "Alright." "When do I start?" "Now." "Dad..." "I've always waited for this moment to tell you how much I love you." "You're the best father in the world." "Thanks for being an example to your children and granddaughters." "Thanks for being the husband, grandfather, hard-working journalist... the man you've always been." "I love you very much." "I wish you a merry Christmas." "Dad, I hope when you see this video on December 24th you realize that everyone around you, children, grandchildren, and cousins... we love you much more than you love us." "Hi, Dad." "How ironic." "I'm here before the camera, but the first thing I learned from you is that journalists should always be behind the camera and not in starring roles." "But this is a very good moment to break that rule, the moment to say I love you." "It's that simple and that strong." "Merry Christmas, Mr. Guillermo." "Get off that cloud, guys." "You think because you've got money and we live here you're the big guys now?" "You two mess with Pablo Escobar and all those other guys will come after you." "But..." "But nothing!" "Listen to me, Chili." "So you think we're just some worthless losers?" "Yeah!" "You're a worthless loser, and you're a worthless loser, too." "Next to Pablo Escobar, we're all worthless." "You mess with him and it's an all-out war." "Besides, you two have all this." "But who helped you?" "Why are we here?" "Thanks to who?" "I'll be gone for a few days, but I'll call you when I get back." "Alright." "Thanks for everything." "Thanks for taking care of me, and everything you did for me." "Alright." "Here, take this.Take this." "No." "Thanks, but no." "Go on." "This isn't the boss'." "Dont' worry." "It's from my salary." "Alright?" "Go ahead." "Take it." "It's Christmas." "It's all good." "Is this goodbye forever?" "I want to see you again." "As soon as I get back, I'll call you." "Is that ok?" "Okay." "Take care." "Alright." "Bye." "Bye, sweetie." "So... are we doing alright?" "Yes, sir." "Don't worry." "We analyzed the situation." "As soon as he leaves the market he works at, we'll interview him." "Alright." "Done." "Hi, honey." "Thanks to you, who you are, what you think and say, thanks to the way you are with your kids and grandkids," "Adelaida's gathered us for this video so we can tell you how much we love you." "You should feel very proud just for that." "A big kiss." "And thank you for being in my life." "Do me a favor." "Yes, sir." "Do you know if Mrs. Ana Maria left the keys?" "No, sir." "Goodbye." "Hello." "You know what?" "We can't get to him in that truck." "No big deal." "We'll do it tonight when he leaves work." "You know, whacking that old guy in broad daylight is pretty tough, anyway." "Let's do things right." "Alright." "Let's go have lunch then." "I'm awful at videos and speaking." "So I'll only say one thing." "I'm happy I was blessed enough to be your daughter." "But I would've loved to be your granddaughter." "Thanks for being the best father and grandfather ever." "Merry Christmas." "There." "Enjoy." "It's delicious." "There it is." "Alright." "Bye, honey." "Bye." "See you." "Smile." "It's Christmas." "Hello." "Bye!" "First of all, thanks to you I'm in this profession." "It doesn't allow us time to even record a Christmas video for Dad." "But here I am." "Dad..." "I hope you continue always with your slogan of being happy during Christmas." "I hope you enjoy this season, because it's the happiest time of the year for you." "I hope you're the happiest man on Earth, just like your wife, your kids, and your grandkids are happy." "Merry Christmas, Dad." "After that, you fry the pastries." "Careful you don't overdo it, okay?" "You know how." "What's the lady of the house making?" "Yummy things." "We're about to fry the pastries." "What's this green rice?" "Is it Christmas rice?" "Tamales." "What about these buñelos?" "Can I have one?" "No, sir." "Hey!" "Maybe I can steal one." "What's that over there?" "It's the same, right?" "No shame!" "I'm saving those." "I brought the kids some gifts." "You jumped ahead of Christmas morning?" "Why?" "Are you crazy?" "It's not jumping ahead." "I'm giving them a gift during the novena." "I'll give them more stuff on Christmas day." "Come look." "What did you buy?" "It's nothing." "Call them over." "Emilio!" "Dora, bring his sister." "She's asleep." "Emilio!" "Softly, you'll wake her up." "Close your eyes." "Cover them." "Come here." "Open your eyes when I tell you." "Ready?" "Stay still." "Ready?" "One, two, now!" "A motorcycle!" "Is this...?" "For the baby." "I can't believe it." "There's something for you, too." "Close your eyes." "Please." "Close them." "Not yet." "One, two, three, now!" "Leave it!" "Stop cleaning!" "What's all this, Pablo?" "Dear Lord." "It's so beautiful!" "Thank you so much, honey!" "You taste like a buñuelo." "Thank you, honey." "Let me go downstairs!" "Well?" "Sir, as you wish." "Let it be the last time." "You too." "For as long as I can remember" "I've never let myself be affected during the holidays." "by the sadness of those gone, problems of a material nature, or health issues." "I've enjoyed all my Christmases." "I think even too much so." "I've distanced myself from the tears of the world past and present so that neither the sorrow of others nor strange miseries disturbs the paradise of Christmas dreams." "But I've received a letter that I'm transcribing, one that brought me to tears in the middle of Christmas." "I've spoken to many people." "People" "I never thought had evidence as horrid or worse than mine." "They say it's completely hopeless." "I've kept my experience a secret." "But I was hoping to see my kids live in a country better off than the one today." "I pray to God to one day hear news of my father." "I hope my readers forgive me if in 1986, after having read the letter I'm transcribing for you," "I'll have ruined your Christmas celebrations." "I ask for you to pray, to ask that Noelia finally hear news, good or bad, of her father." "Because good or bad news are definitely better than the absolute absence of any." "It's like living in limbo, the terrible and inhuman world of the missing." "There are two players on the team that are impressive..." "Cabañas, since he definitely gives, receives and scores goals, and becomes the leading player, the man that totally unbalances the contender." "Juan, this is for tomorrow." "See you later." "See you, sir." "Good night, Mr. Guille." "Good night, Nicky." "Good night, Mr. Guille." "Good night." "Thanks for everything." "Yes, sir." "Good night." "Here's the custard." "Ok." "So which comes first?" "The prayer to..." "St." "Joseph or the Virgin?" "No, the other one's first." "Hang on so Adelaida can record her video for Grandpa." "Ready?" "Recording." "Mr. Juan Guillermo." "What happened?" "It's your father." "What about him?" "It seems he's been shot." "Get a cab!" "Get him out." "Please don't let him die!" "Dear Grandpa...since I'm little I don't have money to buy you a gift.That's why I'm making this video." "Well, we all made it." "Everyone recorded a message for you." "I wanted to tell you that I'm the luckiest girl ever because I've got the best grandpa ever." "I'm the only girl in school who watches The Flintstones with her grandpa." "I love you very much." "Merry Christmas." "Please hurry, sir." "Do you know the owner of that car?" "He's my father." "What's his name?" "Guillermo Cano, editor of El Espectador." "We did it, bro!" "Straight to Medellin now." "Don't worry, Mom." "He'll be home soon." "He should've been here by now." "He probably got stuck in traffic." "What if..." "Something happened to him?" "Oh, Mom." "What could happen?" "Don't worry." "Let me call Juan." "I'll get it." "Hello?" "Hello?" "It's me, Mom." "Hi, Juan." "We were just thinking of calling you." "At what time did your dad leave?" "Mom..." "What?" "Something happened to him, right?" "Please say something!" "What happened?" "Something happened to Dad?" "He was shot leaving the building." "No." "Please, no." "Don't say that." "Tell me that didn't happen." "They're taking him to the hospital." "What happened to Dad?" "Please tell us!" "I'm on my way there." "What happened?" "What happened?" "Mom?" "We arrived a moment ago at the site of the attack against the editor of El Espectador." "He was traveling in a red Subaru station wagon red Subaru station wagon with license plate AG5000." "Mr. Guillermo Cano left his office located at what's known as El Espectador Avenue." "He made a U-turn and headed north toward his home." "Two hit men appeared on a motorcycle." "They showered him with machine gun fire." "Mr. Cano was shot four times" "According to information confirmed by Caracol, at the site and was taken to the Social Services Hospital in very serious condition." "Enough!" "We know what happened." "No more news." "They might say how Dad's doing." "We can be informed." "No, leave it off." "Enough." "Are we almost there?" "We're close, but this heavy traffic is the worst." "Now this guy's cutting us off." "We're really close, but look at this jam." "Dear Lord!" "Nicky!" "Where is he?" "They're operating on him." "How did he look?" "Really bad." "You can't come in, sir." "Please." "Nicky, what do we know?" "Is he alright?" "They killed Dad." "Mr. Guillermo, in the journalistic work" "El Espectador carries out as one of the most important media outlets in the country, have you ever felt the paper has been pressured in order to coerce freedom of the press?" "Juan Guillermo." "You can't imagine how sorry I am." "Thank you very much." "We thought..." "Rodrigo's death would be the worst of it... and now this." "His only weapon was his words." "The Medellin cartel answered with bullets." "I'm truly sorry." "Thank you." "Mrs. Ana Maria, Fernando..." "I'm so sorry." "Thank you." "Will you come with us?" "Let's go." "Are we going in?" "I'll go in with your brothers." "But I want to see Dad too." "I know." "You three, please stay here." "It's over!" "The America team wins!" "The America team from Cali are the champions." "Listen to that." "They're not the champions." "The champions are the Cali cartel, because they've got lots of cash to buy off teams." "Just wait." "Next year I'll buy the blue team and make them champions." "Did they think my pockets weren't deep enough or what?" "Breaking news." "From the joy of the America team's triumph to the sorrow taking over the country over the vile murder of journalist Guillermo Cano, editor of El Espectador newspaper." "No way, bro!" "Damn!" "What now?" "He was the editor of the most important newspaper, and they killed him." ""They?"" "No, we killed him." "Go get me a phone, quick." "Yes, sir." "Of course, Pedro." "That man was after us for a long time." "But Cano wasn't just the editor, he owned the biggest damn newspaper in the country!" "Yeah, but it's been on our case the whole time!" "I know that." "I also know Pablo insinuated we do this." "But this wasn't the right time to kill him!" "I don't think it was the right way." "It would've been better to make him disappear, so the world wouldn't come down on us." "But Pablo does things his way." "I don't know why you're surprised." "He always does what he wants." "But that was a mistake." "He should've discussed it with us first." "Pablo's definitely lost it." "What?" "That's amazing news, bro!" "Of course!" "We needed a reason to drink!" "Cheers!" "You know?" "You're Super Pablo!" "This is a triumph for everyone." "Now we'll make the people from" "The Cali soccer team suffer." "Really suffer." "Not just the ones from Cali, the whole country, and the president, too." "So they realize extradition isn't an option in this country." "Mariachi...we just showed the ruling class that if they continue this way it'll be hard for any of them to die of old age here in this country." "Hit them where it hurts." "And there's still more to go." "What?" "We're whacking more people?" "Death must be our instrument of power." "It's the only way they'll respect us, with solid, striking action." "Speaking of action, I think it's best you all" "Come over to my ranch." "That way we can analyze the situation." "If things get heated, we'll be safe here." "Alright." "Tell everyone and" "We'll meet there later.Thanks, Mariachi." "Hey, honey." "Do you have anything to do with that man's death?" "Who?" "The journalist." "How can you say that?" "Swear." "On me." "I swear." "I swear on our children." "How can you think that?" "Come here." "How can you think that?" "Come here." "Get the kids ready." "We're taking a trip." "What?" "Where to?" "It's a surprise." "Go tell them" "Really?" "Yes." "Go, sweetie." "Where's the President?" "He won't be long." "We should get working to find a way to resolve this problem." "Mr. President, we know" "The Medellin cartel killed Dad." "It was becasuse of everything he wrote and what El Espectador did against them." "May I please speak" "To Mrs. Ana Maria?" "Yes, sir." "One moment." "Mom." "How are you, sir?" "Ma'am, my deepest condolences." "I want you to know that the government is with you in this most terrible moment." "Thank you." "I hope so." "Goodbye." "Goodbye, Mrs. Ana Maria." "General...not long ago we were at" "Colonel Jimenez's viewing." "Now we have..." "A new martyr." "We have to do something." "I assure you, the National Police is doing everything we can." "But you know that's not the problem." "It's the extradition treaty." "It's the greatest weapon we could use against them." "But we don't have it." "Mommy, where's Grandpa?" "Aren't you sleepy?" "Where did everyone go?" "They all went to a novena, honey." "Is Grandpa with them?" "Yes, he is." "Why don't you help me?" "Let's go get the rest of the kids to sleep." "I have not only felt it," "I've also suffered that kind of political and economic pressure." "When the paper was founded" "About 100 years ago, it was religious pressure, too." "Let's give that drink a taste." "Sir... a toast to business." "Cheers, sir." " I repeat, the editor of El Espectador, Guillermo Cano," "His condition is still unknown..." "So long son!" "So long guys!" "Thanks." "Thanks." "See you later." "Yes boss!" "Pacora!" "Yea, boss!" "As you order, boss!" "I'll drive." "I'll drive." "If you drive like a madman," "I'm getting off!" "Let's go." "All right girls!" "I want you all to be watchful!" "Let's go." "Long live a free Colombia!" "We can't publish something that isn't true." "I would confirm the..." "Excuse me!" "Do we have the front page already?" "Are you sure you want to see it?" "Go home." "We'll take care of everything." "I'm sure" "I want to be here." "Can I see the front page?" "I want to write an editorial." "All the information is in." "Besides, we have to close." "We won't close and the newspaper will not be published,but I want to write an internal note." "There are many things about my father that" "I haven't said and I'm going to say now." "I want.." "After today,our lives will be very difficult." "Mr. Guillermo was the soul of this paper." "The Medellin cartel killed my father." "They killed him." "That's true." "But your father taught us" "To pursue the truth." "Once we have it, we'll publish it." "Your father also made it clear that no matter what happened," "That's what we're going to do."
