"THOSE WHO IGNORE THEIR HISTORY ARE CONDEMNED TO REPEAT IT." "That one, Freddy." "What's up, man?" "Are you blind?" "Guys, stop fighting." "You're scaring the customers away." "There's nothing going on here!" "Thank God the cops are here." "Those two are about to fight." "Come on, guys." "My purse." "Thank God you got it back, sir." "Thank you so much." "I couldn't catch the thief." "On the ground!" "What do you mean they killed him in broad daylight?" "The same guy who stole the purse shot him?" "Colonel..." "No." "Let me know when you get a hold of his family." "A cop was killed in broad daylight over a stolen purse." "That makes three." "What do you mean?" "Two officers were just shot to death at a bar." "It must be a set up." "They made them go there so they could shoot them." "A set up?" "What's going on?" "That's what we want to know, Colonel." "Is Pablo Escobar after us?" "As you know, public order in Medellin is quite serious." "Our institution is facing an all-out war." "This war has already claimed the lives of ten of our men." "How are you planning to respond, General?" "Same as always." "We'll go after these criminals until we defeat them." "When you say criminals, you mean Pablo Escobar?" "It seems that individual is behind all these attacks." "The Medellin City Hall has adopted certain steps to respond to this low blow by these criminals." "These steps include banning passengers on motorcycles, prohibiting the use of helmets on motorcycles, and all vehicles traveling at night will have to do so with their dome lights on." "General, do you think this will stop the killing of police officers in Medellin?" "Have you guys ever been to Bogota before?" "Once... when I was a kid." "I've never been here before." "Don't worry about it." "It's not that big of deal." "It's just that important people live here." "Politicians, businessmen, actors, those kind of people." "Question." "How long are we staying?" "You just got here and you already want to go back to Medellin?" "Or is it that you miss your job?" "What job?" "They fired us on the spot for being out for three days." "That means you're in no hurry." "Don't worry about money." "When you go back, you'll have plenty of money to take out as many girls as you want." "So, who do we have to clip, Mr. Lucio?" "I'll tell you soon." "Have a seat because I need to talk to you." "Alright, guys." "I need you all to know something..." "I know you both very well." "I know where you live, what you like to do..." "I know your mother, your brother, your grandmother, your two sisters who live in Envigado, and your dog, Kaiser." "And I know your father, your mother, your two older sisters, your younger brother, and the two canaries you take out every afternoon to get some sun." "Do you understand?" "Why are you telling us all this, Mr. Lucio?" "It's quite simple." "I want you to be aware that if you ever decide to snitch," "I'll turn you into grave diggers." "Believe me... it's really tough to bury your family." "I know that it won't be the case with you guys, but I had to warn you anyway." "Here's your first target." "Thank you very much." "Normal or Elite?" "Normal." "Thank you, buddy." "Normal or Elite?" "Normal." "Thank you." "What the hell's going on with you all?" "You're working for peanuts." "All you're doing is killing small-time cops." "We need you to clip Elite cops." "Let's see if you work harder." "You got it." "Go for it." "Let me talk to Miguel." "What's up, man?" "What's up, Pablo?" "I'm good." "You chose the right place to hide, right?" "Around here they care about you more than at home, right?" "Yeah." "Actually, I'm not hiding nor do I need to find a place to hide." "Any corner in Medellin is good enough to keep fighting." "Question." "How much longer will you keep killing cops?" "Until there are none left to kill." "Come on, Pablo..." "You're well aware that I could use some of those cops." "I know that, but you'll have to find different allies because I'm ready to exterminate that whole plague." "I started with Medellin, but I want to expand to the rest of the country, until there's not a single cop left." "Let's see if the government finally understands that nobody disrespects Pablo Emilio Escobar Gaviria." "Honey, the time's about to run out." "I'll call you tomorrow." "Don't worry, I'll take care of myself." "I love you." "Talk to you..." "Calming the wife down?" "Yeah." "She's a little scared." "I don't blame her." "The Extraditables are all over us." "At least you all, the Elite, get to stay here, chilling... but us, normal cops..." "It's dangerous for everyone, but what can we do?" "We're police officers and can't neglect the streets." "Yeah, you're right." "If you go, best thing to do is not to wear a uniform and have company if possible." "Guess what, bro?" "I have good news." "I'm friends with the guy upstairs, and he says we'll be fine." "We're nice people." "Nice to meet you." "Pineda." "I'm Julian Ariza." "Things are screwed up around here." "I don't see a single cop." "Typical reaction of psychopath like that." "Pablo's dilemma with the President and his cabinet, he's taking it out on those men, and I'm not liking that at all." "None of what Escobar does is justifiable." "You're the only one who insists on keeping his friendship." "You're talking too much, bro." "Relax, this is a secure line." "How's it going with the businessman in Bogota?" "We'll be finalizing that deal any day now." "What's the delay?" "What's missing?" "The only way this guy will ease up and lower his guard is in a public place." "Don't you think he fears for his life?" "Don't you think he's hiding and that job won't get done?" "You're not following." "It's time already." "The place will be the airport." "I'm so happy for you." "Talk to you later." "I have to wake up early." "Really?" "You have another event tomorrow morning?" "We do... you and I." "Tomorrow, as soon as I find out I'll be elected senator," "I want the two of us to go on a trip." "The two of us?" "Where to?" "To Santa Marta." "For eight days, you and I alone." "That way I'll work on my campaign, on proposals..." "Will you come with me?" "I'd love to, honey." "but why now?" "Why travel now?" "I have more time to isolate myself for a while, time to think about the program clearly... think about the presidential campaign." "I think it's a great idea." "We could go to the Santa Marta Cathedral." "We can pray for you, so that everything works out fine, so that nothing bad happens to you, and most of all, so they let you present your proposal, that wonderful project." "What?" "Nothing." "I love you very much." "Here you go, guys." "New clothes so you look elegant while doing that job." "Did you memorize the businessman's face?" "Sure, Mr. Lucio." "He's tall, skinny, with a moustache, and bug-eyed." "I'll take care of it." "Don't worry." "Let's go over the plan one more time." "I'll be in the waiting room at the airport." "I'll be waiting for the man to arrive." "Should the man board the plane," "I'll follow him and I'll get on the plane, too." "That won't happen." "The minute I see the guy, whenever he's close to me," "I'll shoot him right there." "I don't have to do anything." "Your people will be there to neutralize his escorts." "That's very important." "You don't do anything at all, regardless of what happens there." "You're just Plan B in case Jason can't shoot." "Like I said, that won't happen, Mr. Lucio." "Last thing." "Should anything happen, keep your mouth shut." "Don't tell the cops anything." "I'll get an attorney to get you out." "Are we clear?" "Trust me, Mr. Lucio." "That's the right attitude." "We have to dress like the locals." "And a shirt..." "Let me introduce you to your new friend..." "I know I chose the right man for the job, Jason." "Thanks." "Good day." "Honey... darling... are you sure you want to go on this trip?" "I sure am, honey." "Why do you ask?" "I think it'd be safer here in Bogota than in Santa Marta." "Gentlemen, good morning." "Listen, honey." "If they're going to hurt me, it'll be here, in Santa Marta, or anywhere else for that matter." "Don't worry." "Everything's going to be fine." "Let's go." "We're going to miss our flight." "Where are you headed?" "To the airport." "Good morning." "Good morning." "I'm sorry, what's your flight number?" "I'm not flying." "I've seen you sitting here for a while now." "I thought you might need some help." "Is everything alright?" "Yeah, I'm good." "There's a man sitting there for some time..." "Did you talk to your kids?" "I did." "They know we're heading to Santa Marta." "That I'll see them when I come back..." "Good morning, sir." "Good morning." "Do me a favor." "It's just that..." "I'm looking for the exit to catch a cab, but I don't know..." "It's right there." "Which escorts are coming with us?" "You want strangers with us?" "Isn't it better if it's just the two of us?" "Someone's got to watch your back." "I love you, honey." "I love you, too." "I've been there." "I'll go with you if you want." "Don't worry about it." "Those guys have me going back and forth." "I'm fed up." "Sir..." "Yes?" "These son of bitches killed me..." "No!" "I'm going to die." "Hold me." "Hold me." "Let's go." "Quickly." "Let's go." "Open the door." "Quickly." "Let's go!" "Go." "Let's go!" "Quickly." "Move, please." "Quickly." "Quickly." "Step on it!" "I'm going to die." "Hold me." "Protect me." "No..." "Please..." "Breaking news." "A few minutes ago, doctors from the National Police Hospital confirmed the death of the presidential candidate for the Patriotic Union Party, Bernardo Jaramillo." "Two hours earlier, he'd been shot at the capital's airport." "He and his wife, Mariela Barragan, were supposed to catch a flight to Santa Marta." "General Peraza issued the following statement." "This is terrible for Colombian democracy." "Our society as a whole must condemn this dreadful act." "It's the second presidential candidate to fall, according to our investigation, at the hands of the Medellin Cartel, led by the worst murderer and criminal in this country." "Pablo Escobar Gaviria." "That fool." "It was Pablo Emilio Escobar Gaviria..." "That ape doesn't have an ounce of evidence to make an accusation against me." "He was a leftist." "He was a nice guy, rebellious... but he was a nice guy." "Let me tell you something, Peluche." "If this f****** general had any idea what he's saying, he'd know I've always sided with the left." "You know that." "Ever since I was in school, right?" "I can attest to that, man." "You even intervined... -"Intervined?"" "Then what?" "Intervened!" "Same crap." "He intervened so he wouldn't kill guerrilla men, and look what happened." "What guerrilla men?" "How dare you think he was a guerrilla man?" "He was a communist at the most." "He was learned, with leftist ideals." "How could you think I'd kill someone like this?" "This country is screwed up, Pablo." "Everything's messed up." "Whatever happens will be our fault." "The country's not messed up." "I'm messed up because I am now their scapegoat." "Everything in this country is my fault!" "And to top it all off," "Miguel and Lucio are on my back!" "The government blames me for all the s*** they do!" "If they're behind that hit, why aren't they men enough to take the rap just like you take the heat for your killings and crimes?" "You're absolutely right, Peluche." "Ms." "Paty just showed up." "Who?" "Ms. Paty's here." "Hi, honey." "Why?" "Why did you have to kill Mr. Jaramillo?" "What did I tell you?" "I'm screwed." "Don't leave when I'm talking to you." "Look me in the eye, Paty." "Pablo didn't kill anybody." "I can attest to it." "I swear." "Anybody?" "He didn't kill any cops, anybody in particular ever?" "Cut it out, Paty." "I'll get you some coffee, alright?" "After the U.S. Delta Force wraps up an operation, they never think or talk about it again." "I'm not Delta Force." "I'm Leonel Elias Restrepo Gutierrez." "It seems Leonel forgot all the training he received." "It seems you forgot it, Mr. Lucio." "Everyone scuttled away, and nobody helped Jason." "Watch your mouth." "The escorts reacted too quickly." "We didn't have time to cover Jason." "Besides, if our guys had intervened, the casualties would've been much higher." "What'll happen to him?" "He's not 18 yet, so he has that in his favor." "The cops can't take him just like that." "Are we going back to Medellin?" "Medellin?" "No way." "Jason already completed his part of the mission, and he earned good money for it." "Now you have to complete your mission." "Mr. President, does the Government still maintain Pablo Escobar killed Mr. Jaramillo?" "That's what our intelligence agencies are telling us." "Mr. President... when will the Government acknowledge they've lost control over public safety?" "We haven't lost control of anything, miss." "Cops are still turning up dead in Medellin." "They're blowing up newspapers and buildings in Bogota." "They're blowing up airplanes in midair." "They're killing presidential candidates in airports and other public places." "Of course you've lost control!" "You can't blame the Government for all those atrocities." "If you want to find the culprits, turn to Medellin." "Isn't this retaliation by the Extraditables... for halting their alleged surrender negotiations?" "This isn't the time or place to discuss those issues." "You're welcome to come to the Government Palace, and I'll answer all the questions you'd like to ask." "Excuse me." "The most important thing is to watch each other's backs." "Those who are from Medellin and know the area, how locals behave... we're asking you to help the troops coming from Bogota." "That thug, Pablo Escobar, put a price on our heads." "But we won't let him intimidate us, nor will we scurry away and hide." "Quite the contrary." "We're going to face them." "We have to be on the lookout." "Permission to speak, Colonel." "Go ahead." "The fact there's a price on our heads makes us suspect everybody." "Who wouldn't want to make $2,000 or $5,000?" "Ariza... not everyone in this country is corrupt." "Nor will all the youth in Medellin dirty their hands with that tainted money." "Is that understood?" "Yes, Colonel!" "Colonel." "What are you doing here?" "Aren't you happy I came to see you?" "Of course I am, honey." "I just wasn't expecting it." "That was the point." "To surprise you." "Honey... the country's public safety is very fragile, and it's worse here, in Medellin." "I didn't come to worry you." "I'll be fine." "I'm well protected." "I'm only staying for a couple of days." "I came so we can talk about Martin." "Only for a couple of days, okay?" "We'll talk about that later." "Son, can you step outside for a moment?" "I need to talk to your father." "Yes, Mom." "Excuse me, Colonel." "Listen, honey... ever since I married you," "I've understood the nature of your work and the dangers that you, as police officers, are exposed to on a daily basis." "I was also understanding when Martin joined the force." "Elena... things are more dangerous than ever before for us." "Right now we're up against a psychotic murderer, who's also a terrorist and a millionaire!" "I know that, honey, and I'm proud you're standing up to him, although I'm scared to death, but I can't let fear get the best of me." "That's why I'm here." "I want to talk to you about Martin." "I don't follow you." "Alright." "Listen..." "You're Martin's hero." "You're the officer he most admires in this institution." "He joined the force because of you, and I'd give anything for nothing to happen to either of you, ever." "I've talked to Martin, though, and deep in his heart, he feels he must be next to you, supporting you, and that he can't leave you alone to face Escobar." "You know what?" "No matter what..." "I agree with my son." "They took him away from me." "They killed him." "This won't stop until they kill us all." "Mariela... this country needs all of us to reconcile, despite our ideologies and political affiliations, and that'll take time." "And martyrs." "All Bernardo wanted was a fairer country, one with more freedom." "He knew they were going to kill him." "He faced death every day and even laughed in its face." "All I did was warn him." "Now I'm the one warning you... to find the strength to go on living." "I was offered a chance to travel to Brazil." "Go for it." "Leave." "Forget." "Let others carry Bernardo's flag." "Do you realize what you're asking of me?" "Bernardo and I had been married for two years." "We were madly in love." "How am I supposed to live without him?" "You know you have to leave." "Take care of yourself." "That dark shadow is after you too." "That's what I'll do." "I promise." "Take a close look." "Etch it in your mind." "This client's your ticket out of poverty, Leonel." "What's up, bro?" "You look kind of nervous." "Are you scared?" "We're on our way to grab a bite." "We're not on assignment." "You know this area is dangerous." "When you least expect it, some guy could pull a gun and then what?" "It's alright, bro." "That's why we're not wearing uniforms." "You never know, Pineda." "I know this neighborhood like the back of my hand, bro." "There aren't any criminals around here." "You know what, Pineda?" "Next time I have time off," "I'll stay back at the barracks." "I'm so paranoid I'm even starting to distrust you." "Come on, bro." "You're exaggerating." "I wouldn't sell out a brother from the force." "I know, Pineda." "I'm sorry." "Let's leave it for another day." "I'd rather go back." "Alright, bro." "I'll go with you to the bus stop." "I'll bring you some pastries." "Let me just tie my shoe." "Alright." "Hey, dumbass!" "Payoff." "Let's go, bro." "Four, five... $50,000." "If that's not enough, come back for more." "It probably won't be enough because this is just 20 cops." "I hope so." "Go for it." "Okay, excuse me." "Come here, Marino." "Sir?" "Do me a favor..." "Give Chili these $50,000 before he leaves." "Go." "Sir." "What's up, Marino?" "What's up, Pablo." "What's going on, Pedro?" "I thought you weren't going to make it." "You have to take a lot of turns to make sure nobody's following you." "If I say you can come over without a worry, it's because I have everything under control." "Besides, what cops will be looking for us if we're getting rid of all of them?" "Speaking of cops, don't you think it's time to stop that slaughter?" "Now that we have an informant and a mole on every corner?" "Now that guys can get out of poverty by killing a cop?" "Forget about it, Pedro." "At this rate, we won't resume negotiations any time soon." "Who told you I feel like negotiating?" "Come, and I'll introduce you to a visitor." "Come here, bro." "What now?" "Care for anything, Mr. Santorini?" "Thank you so much, Gonzalo." "I still have that cane back home to remind me of you." "I also remember you, bro." "My dear Pedro Motoa, good to see you." "Mr. Santorini..." "I wasn't expecting to find you around here." "To be honest, I never thought I'd make it this way, but that's life." "Here we are." "That's politics." "That's what happens when you're friends with a politician." "Help yourself." "Let's get down to business." "What's your take on our situation?" "I want to know if you won't become President not even with all the money in the world." "Is that true?" "That's right." "I told you he'd come with a bunch of nonsense." "The next President of Colombia will be Cesar Gaviria." "Colombians see him as the man who's following in Galan's footsteps." "What are you trying to tell us?" "That though I wanted to be President this year, it didn't happen." "What a jerk." "That being the case, you'll have to face Gaviria, and he'll never allow a negotiation like the one you had with President Lopez." "Who's going to talk to us if they keep pinning all those killings on us?" "That's right." "If they say you're also killing left-wing candidates, that may turn public opinion in their favor and have grounds to go after you." "And then not even blowing up planes, killing cops, or setting off bombs will get them off your back." "So?" "Tell me something I don't know, bro." "It's a matter of loyalty." "You gave me a hand when I needed it the most," "I'll give you a hand now by offering my point of view." "So what's your point of view?" "The door to negotiations is closed." "You don't say?" "But there's another option." "In the upcoming elections, besides voting for President, we'll also vote to create a Committee." "That Committee will allow us to amend the Constitution." "If we're able to amend the old constitution, we could ban extraditions for good so that no Colombian is ever extradited again." "I think you're doing a great job getting resources." "Here you go, bro." "Thanks." "Yeah, bro." "I keep sending coke... and I keep bringing money so you spend it on killing cops." "That's why our relationship works so well." "Because everyone does what they do best..." "Alright, Chili." "How much do you have to pay the guys?" "$142,OOO, Mr. Gonzalo." "How much is that?" "How much?" "$142,000." "How many cops is that, Gonzalo?" "71, 74 cops?" "71, bro." "71 cops?" "Don't think I'm that dumb, Chili." "You made us open Gonzalo's stash for 71 cops?" "Boss, it's been 223 cops, and that includes 18 Elites." "That's not good enough." "It's too little." "How many do you want, boss?" "I need at least 500 dead cops before the elections." "Got it." "You'll have a thousand dead cops before the elections." "Go for it, guys." "Pablo..." "Come here for a second." "What?" "Come here, bro." "What's up?" "Sit down." "When are we going to talk about the outcome of the liberal primaries?" "Gaviria!" "The future is now!" "Gaviria for President!" "Thank you very much." "Tonight the people have spoken and have chosen me as the Liberal Party candidate, the only candidate for President of Colombia." "Today, we took the first step." "The elections are in two months." "We need the support of the people of Colombia, so that together we may honor the political and ideological legacy left by Luis Carlos Galan."
