"THOSE WHO IGNORE THEIR HISTORY ARE CONDEMNED TO REPEAT IT." "That's what's going on in the neighborhood." "Everyone's going mad after hearing that Mr. Sancho and Mr. Poncho were killed." "After that shootout, no one wants to go out to the street." "I can imagine, after the sudden shootout at the plaza." "They were taken right away, so we didn't find out where they were buried or anything." "They should inform the neighbors." "You know how fond they were of them." "Let me ask you something." "Why are you so anxious?" "I'm not." "Look, Armando, you might have to deliver the message." "Which message?" "Which one?" "Why are you in such a hurry to know?" "Slow down before you crash." "Watch yourself, pal." "Go in, come on." "Go in, pal." "Relax." "Poncho, I have a surprise for you." "Boss." "What a surprise." "You're alive?" "Did you want me dead or what?" "No, sir." "How could you think that?" "It's just that..." "Everyone in the neighborhood thinks you're dead." "But this is a miracle, sir." "It's a miracle that you're alive, Armando." "I haven't forgotten that the day they f*** up Sancho, you ran away like a chicken." "I'd heard you ran off like a coward." "No, you guys have to understand I had to protect myself." "Besides, that day I wasn't carrying..." "No buts, man." "You're a sissy and a coward." "So?" "Where's Poncho's money?" "The $7,500 you promised to give us by January, buddy." "Yes, the money." "I haven't forgotten." "It's just that..." "Since everyone thought you were dead and it was Christmas..." "You thought he was dead and hadn't even asked about him." "That's not right, Armando." "We've been too nice to you for you to do this." "You know what?" "We need the money." "I'll pay you, I swear." "Listen to me..." "Look, you've got 24 hours to get my money, otherwise, you know what will happen." "You heard him." "Now go, you damn flake." "Be glad I don't kill you." "Can you believe this guy?" "Hold on, Poncho." "Relax and sit down." "I think you need to get some sun." "You know what?" "Make sure that chicken doesn't fly the coop." "President Gaviria's policy of submission to authorities starts to yield results." "Brothers Pedro and Julio Motoa, considered important leaders of the Medellin Cartel, under the protection of decree 3030 of 1990 passed by President Gaviria, just turned themselves over to authorities." "This country thanks you for your decision, gentlemen." "Thank you." "We thank you for your willingness and perseverance to get us to turn ourselves in." "I don't understand why your other brother didn't join you." "It's not that he didn't join us." "He's waiting to see how things work out for us." "He wants to see if our government keeps its promises, and we don't end up in the US like rats." "You have nothing to worry about." "What about Pablo?" "Stay alert." "We have visitors." "Alright." "I copy." "Don't worry." "We won't be long." "I think we should leave." "We're too exposed here." "Hold on, man." "We should dedicate at least five minutes to Gonzalo." "We can't be ungrateful or thankless." "Alright, five Our Fathers, and then we go." "Don't worry, coz." "While you rest the way you deserve," "Peluche and I will take care of avenging your death." "I know Gonzalo won't rest until we get justice." "After we get justice for the unfair way in which they barged into his house." "They went straight to kill him." "That's why they were disguised." "Those damn bastards." "Let's do it." "In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, Amen." "Our Father who art in heaven..." "What's up, Mireya?" "Will you get me the money?" "What did I do to deserve this?" "I don't have money." "I don't." "Don't lie to me." "You're Chili's sister." "Don't you dare mention Chili." "With all due respect..." "He didn't take all his money to his grave, did he?" "I don't know where he left it." "Mireya, I'm begging you." "Do you think I'm a prostitute again because I want to be?" "Answer me!" "No, I don't." "Damn idiot." "Ask your delinquent friends." "They've got money." "How are you, ma'am?" "Hey." "How much do you owe?" "It's only $7,500." "How much do you still need?" "$6,500." "Give me a break." "You're too much." "If I don't get that money, they'll kill me." "Can you live with that on your conscience?" "Mireya!" "I'd like to be getting more results." "Have more concrete evidence, but I've got nothing." "Excuse me, Colonel." "What's up?" "There's a man saying he's got information on the hostages," "He wants to talk to you." "Honey, I have to let you go." "I love you too." "Goodbye." "Hello?" "This is Col. Martin Pavon." "Who's this?" "What did he say about the hostages?" "That he had key information on them." "Good." "Where will we meet him?" "We can take a special team." "No, Aguirre." "The Elite Forces can't get involved." "Why not, Colonel?" "Rescuing hostages isn't our mission." "Our mission is to dismantle the Medellin Cartel." "But the Medellin Cartel is the one holding the hostages!" "Yes, the Extraditables." "Even if we assume that they're the same people," "I told you, we're not in charge of rescuing hostages." "That's the police's job." "But Colonel..." "My General agrees." "With all due respect to you and the General, I don't agree." "I think if we try to find the hostages, those kidnappers will lead us to Escobar." "We'll do it, Aguirre." "But through the police, not us." "Thank you for seeing me." "It's our pleasure, Mr. Villamizar." "Now, tell me something." "How do you expect us to help you?" "We're not here to discuss how you're going to help me, but what I can offer you, which benefits you." "Sir, we're not involved with the kidnapping of your sister, or your wife's or of any of the journalists held hostage." "But..." "You've dealt closely with Escobar." "You've been partners." "That's right, man." "But one thing has nothing to do with the other." "Look, Pedro, I want one thing to be clear:" "My position and that of the families of the hostages." "It's been six months since we heard from the Extraditables." "We don't know anything." "We don't know what they want, what they demand, we don't know anything at all." "If you knew Pablo, you'd know this is part of his strategy." "Exactly." "Since I don't know him, I need your help to contact him." "Look..." "The government wants Escobar to surrender to the authorities like you two did." "And I'm authorized to try to get any communication that leads to him turning himself in." "Mr. Villamizar, believe me, if we had the means to help you, we'd be happy to." "But right now, there's no way." "You're fully aware that you're the only ones who can help me." "Yes, but look at where we are." "Do you think we can contact Escobar while we're locked up in here?" "Calm down." "Calm down, Berenice." "Breathe, take deep breaths." "That'll help." "Maruja, it really hurts." "I know." "I know it hurts." "I really need a doctor." "I told those guys, but they said they're not authorized." "That's a lie!" "It's the food." "What they're feeding us could get anyone sick, even..." "Calm down, that's not helping her." "Oh, God." "It hurts too much." "I know it hurts." "Listen, take a deep breath through your nose." "Inhale through your nose." "How is she doing?" "She needs a doctor." "She's in bad shape." "Yes, please." "Could she die?" "She's been like this for hours." "This isn't normal." "Take this." "What's that?" "My wife takes it when she's on her period." "It might help." "Sir, those pills aren't going to cure her ulcer." "It doesn't matter." "For God's sake, don't take it." "It could be dangerous." "I'll take anything to ease the pain." "Please." "Take pity on her, please." "Bring someone to examine her." "Please." "Insist on getting a doctor." "Maybe it'll help." "Right then I started feeling like my life was in danger." "According to Col. Pavon, you called because you plan to help us." "No, sir." "I never said I'd help you." "I need you to help me." "What's your name again?" "Armando Pantoja, sir." "Fine, Pantoja." "Let me explain how this works." "The police give help based on what they get." "So why don't you tell me what you know about the hostages?" "No, first I need to know how you'll help me." "I need you to guarantee I won't end up in jail or something." "Pantoja, don't act deaf." "I explained to you clearly that the police give based on what they get." "So, tell me, where are the hostages?" "Answer me, Pantoja." "Sir, I can tell you where to find the kidnappers." "Don't worry, I'll keep my eyes peeled in case he doesn't get the money and runs away." "If he runs away, his whole family will pay for it." "I'll find them and cut them to pieces." "Calm down." "This happened to you for getting ahead of yourself." "Stop scolding me." "Here, let me tell you." "Don't touch me." "Hey, you're too delicate." "Let's go, you know what?" "To the Fufas place." "I'll get rum, whisky, and it's my treat." "You sure you don't own that place?" "Hey, what's that noise?" "They're coming for us." "Get the guns!" "Stay alert!" "Open fire!" "Open fire!" "Come on, Poncho!" "Stand back!" "Shoot, man!" "Shoot!" "You're not taking me alive!" "I need ammunition!" "Lucho!" "Those sons of..." "Damn police!" "It's always the same s***!" "First they shoot, then they ask questions!" "What were they going to ask?" "Those guys were criminals." "Stop talking garbage, Peluche!" "Don't talk to me like that!" "Listen to what I'm saying!" "Calm down, sir." "Can't you see the cops aren't interested in catching us?" "They just want to kill us!" "That's what they did to Chili and then my cousin Gonzalo!" "And now this!" "Those bastards, those sons of bitches are killing us all off!" "Damn it, man!" "For sure there's a damn snitch in the Chuscos gang." "No way a damn helicopter shows up and starts shooting for the hell of it!" "Yes, Boss, I'll find out through my contacts." "I'll get the whole story for you." "We're going to respond to this government attack with a worse attack." "Just tell me, sir." "What do we have to do?" "We'll kill one of the hostages." "Pablo, those people have nothing to do with the deaths." "They can go to hell!" "I don't give a damn!" "What is it?" "Don't you see that the national government, through the police, is killing all our colleagues?" "They come out full of pride, saying that they struck hard against the Medellin Cartel." "Forget it!" "We'll strike back against the government!" "By killing a hostage?" "One, two, as many as needed!" "I don't give a damn!" "In war, there are no truces or isolated events." "Get it through your head." "For every action, there's a reaction, and they're going to get theirs!" "Then strike back against the police, man!" "Don't worry about them." "They're getting the worst of it." "I need you to gather up all our hostages in Medellin." "Gather them up." "All of them." "Who should we start with, Boss?" "Pablo, bro." "Pablo, come on." "Think it through." "Don't do anything stupid." "Think about it." "Calm down." "Cool off, and we'll talk about it tomorrow." "Please." "Don't touch me." "Here's a bed for you to get comfortable." "Mrs. Diana!" "I'm so glad to see you." "Why are you here?" "What did they tell you?" "I was falling asleep and they told me, "Hurry, we're moving."" "I'm so lucky." "I'm the one who's lucky to see you because..." "I thought they'd kill us." "No, come here." "How could you think that?" "They need us alive." "They can't do anything." "You don't know how grateful I am that they brought you here." "It's probably better for them to have us together." "This loneliness has been hard." "Tell me about it." "You can't imagine what I felt when they released Omar." "It's not that I didn't want him released, but you understand, right?" "Can you imagine Azu, Omar, Harold, and Jose... how happy they were to be freed?" "I can't do anything... but dream of the day when we're all released." "I'd like to see the sky again and feel the wind on my face." "The sun, the stars, the city..." "Can you imagine?" "To have our parents hug us." "To be able to hug our children, my husband, my family." "All I do is dream about that." "Do you think they'll release us soon?" "I hope to God they do." "I think they will." "Anyway, let's change the subject." "What happened after we were separated?" "How were you?" "Because when they released Azucena, they transferred me again and I ended up alone." "How are they treating you?" "Have they showed you respect?" "Have they treated you well?" "Lieutenant!" "Yes, Colonel?" "Tell Col. Fernandez we've found the site." "As you command, Colonel." "There's absolutely nothing here." "Well, that's not my fault, sir." "Don't try to be funny." "Who brought us to this house?" "They had Mrs. Turbay here and that journalist they released." "But..." "I guess they transferred them to another house." "Of course." "This is not the help you offered me." "I took you to the location of the kidnappers." "Then, I brought you here." "I don't know, I..." "I've done my job, sir." "Let me refresh your memory." "You and I had a deal where it was made clear that with your help, I'd get results." "I haven't gotten a damn thing." "The three kidnappers are dead, right?" "I'm not interested in the dead men." "I want to find the hostages, and you're leading me to them." "I can't help you then because this is the only house I know." "Pantoja, don't play dumb." "You have to know where the Chuscos have other properties." "So start talking." "You see?" "Your cooperation with the police hasn't ended yet." "I don't know anything else." "I gave you what I promised." "So..." "I don't have to tell you anything else." "Fine, if you want to wander unprotected, asking for trouble, go ahead." "I'll just warn you that all the criminals in this city will find out you snitched on your bosses." "I don't think it'll be easy for you to find hideouts." "Let's go." "Thank you, General." "I'd appreciate any information you can provide." "Congratulations to your entire team." "The police found one of the houses where they were holding the hostages." "Mr. President, you should stop those raids." "They might kill them." "We were following a lead, Mrs. Nidia." "The police must act." "What if one of the hostages had been there?" "I agree with Mrs. Nidia." "Trying to rescue them sounds too risky." "Mrs. Nidia, Mr. Villamizar, it's not easy to accept it." "I'm also very concerned about my sister's fate." "But I trust that the government's doing its job." "The police must carry out their duties." "This Chuscos gang you just put out of business is also part of the Medellin Cartel?" "They were in charge of the hostages." "The Extraditables must not be very happy, Mr. President." "Probably." "But they must understand the government isn't waiting to hear from them with our arms crossed." "That must put some pressure on them." "It's also very dangerous because we don't know how they'll react, Mr. President." "In the meantime, they're still holding my daughter and the others without a course of action to secure their release." "Mrs. Nidia, if the police provides us with any clues regarding the whereabouts of any of the hostages," "I'll inform the relatives myself before taking any action." "Is that okay?" "What's happened with the talks with the Extraditables?" "Mr. Villamizar is taking care of that." "Hello?" "Yes." "Please hold." "Mr. Santana, it's for you." "They're calling from the newspaper." "Thanks." "After several days of silence," "The Extraditables sent a new press release." "As a result of the police latest advance, whom they're accusing of killing innocent people in cold blood in the province of Antioquia," ""one of the hostages we're holding will pay with his or her life for the abusive use of brutal and criminal force."" "What's up, buddy?" "How are you?" "Where are we going?" "To Guaymaral." "What's up, guys?" "Let's get going." "We're heading for Guaymaral." "I'm glad you're feeling better." "Thanks." "See?" "The pill worked." "Yeah, sure." "They know we can't get hurt." "It could be a lot worse for them." "I wish I could smoke." "You're enjoying it." "It soothes your worries." "Me on the other hand, I can't stop biting my nails." "Carmina, don't forget that when we get out, you invited us to lunch." "I haven't forgotten." "Whatever you say." "My mouth waters thinking of that bandeja paisa we'll have at your restaurant." "You're something else, Berenice." "You had such a stomachache and you're thinking about a bandeja paisa?" "You're just fine." "Ma'am, you're coming with me." "Come with me." "No..." "Where are you taking her?" "To another house." "Come on." "You're not taking me to another house, you're going to kill me." "Don't say that." "Maybe they'll set you free." "She's not leaving." "If she leaves, the three of us are leaving." "No!" "Maruja..." "Maruja, please... calm down." "Calm down." "Everything's fine." "Let me pick up my things." "You won't need it." "Move it." "Let me say goodbye first." "Hold on." "Please... tell Alberto and my children that I love them." "You know that I won't be able to relay that message." "I won't be able to make it." "May God bless you." "Yeah, fine." "Take this." "If they're going to hurt you, take them." "They'll put you to sleep right away." "Thanks." "Let's go, ma'am." "Let's go." "Fine." "Let's go." "Maruja, you think they'll release her?" "We knew we were in the grassland... but not so close to Bogota." "We're about a half hour away or less." "At this time, there's no traffic." "Where are you taking me?" "Get in." "So nice to see you again, ma'am." "How have they been treating you?" "We're closed." "Come on, lady." "Help us, please." "We're so hungry." "You?" "What about me?" "It was you." "What?" "She's losing her mind." "Are you giving this lady the same stuff you're using?" "She's been acting crazy since she got there." "Really?" "Yeah." "You're not going to release me." "You're going to kill me." "At least have the decency of looking me in the eye and tell me you're going to kill me." "Who's talking about killing anybody, ma'am?" "We're going to release you." "If you wait a little, I'll get you near Bogota." "I'm a gentleman and I can't just drop you off anywhere." "Right, buddy?" "That's right, ma'am." "I've been waiting for my death for months." "Day after day in that gloomy, muggy room... waiting for the Grim Reaper to come get me... with its black robe and scythe." "That's why I know it knocked on my door tonight." "I'm going to die today." "But not because God is summoning me... but because of that man... who's the devil on earth." "I'm going to die today." "But like those who've been sentenced to death..." "I want you to fulfill my last dying wish." "Tell my children that I love them." "And Daniel, my brother... that it's all your fault." "We must all accept God's wish... and understand, no matter how painful it is, that those actions have been planned by the Almighty." "Oh, Lord, we commend this day that is already over to you... and the night that's fast approaching." "Mrs. Nidia, the Government has already enacted a decree... containing the changes Escobar requested." "Yeah, I know... decree 3030." "But you're well aware that decree says that whoever commits any of the crimes listed under Law 30/86 before September 5, 1990, will be eligible for a sentence reduction." "But as you know, kidnapping is an ongoing crime, so it's underway." "We have to change the date." "If Escobar feels this doesn't apply to him, he won't surrender and he won't release the hostages." "We're looking into the legal viability of all options." "Mr. President, I've been told there's already a decree... that's already been prepared, but it needs your signature." "I'm begging you, Mr. President." "Time's running out and it's very dangerous." "Ms. Nidia, as the president mentioned to you, right now we're evaluating the legal consequences behind amending that decree." "As soon as we have a clear response, we'll get in touch with you." "Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed by Thy name;" "Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is heaven." "Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us;" "and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil." "Our father, who art in heaven, hallowed by thy name;" "Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is heaven." "Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us;" "and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil." "Amen." "Amen." "What happened to her?" "Hey, check her out." "Well... no news is good news." "I agree." "Maybe it was just a threat by the Extraditables to get a load off their shoulders and to get the cops off their backs." "Or maybe they did kill someone... but we just haven't found out about it yet." "You had the chance to negotiate with Escobar... or with his subordinates for some time." "You know him somehow." "How come he never talks about negotiating?" "I don't know him as well as you think." "But when he threatens someone publicly, he doesn't do it just for the sake of it." "That's absurd." "To achieve his goal, he needs to keep the hostages alive." "Not necessarily, Mr. Villamizar." "To achieve his goal, he just need to keep one hostage alive." "I've been thinking... and there's something here that doesn't click." "Either Buitre's playing dumb about my orders to kill that lady, or the cops are playing us with regards to her corpse." "I assure you that Buitre won't let you down." "He's coming to Medellin today." "That's for sure." "It's so odd that in a city with six million people, nobody's bumped into that corpse." "That's impossible." "If Buitre's being honest with me and actually killed her, the cops should have already found that corpse." "Maybe the cops already found it, but they're holding that information, you know?" "Let's see how long that secret lasts." "Have you found anything?" "Nothing." "No reports on a missing woman with this description." "Tell me everything you know... or face the consequences." "I already told you everything I know." "Don't play dumb with me." "You know quite well you haven't told me everything." "You already killed all the Chuscos." "Great plan." "That's why you cooperated with us, right?" "We got te Chuscos out of the way and you're fine." "Very nice plan." "The reason why I cooperated doesn't matter... but I already came through with my part and you have to do the same with yours." "You turned out to be quite demanding." "You know what?" "I don't want anything." "Let me go, will you?" "You said you were afraid of being out in the street." "Yeah, but I know how to defend myself." "What if I told you that I'll file charges for kidnapping because you were an accomplice, too?" "They found you in the same house where the Chuscos were arrested." "You know that that's not true." "It doesn't matter what I know." "All that matters is what I can prove to the judge." "What can I tell you?" "I already told you everything I know." "That's not true and you know it." "You must know other houses belonging to the Chuscos." "Besides, you told me." "So... talk." "I'm warning you." "I'm waiting, Pantoja." "I can't believe neither of us can sleep in that bed." "I already got used to the mattress." "I wonder where they took her." "Good morning." "Where did you take Carmina?" "For the thousandth time, they took her to another house." "You'd better stop messing with that radio." "I don't believe a word he says." "If something had happened to her, we would have heard it on the news, right?" "Yeah, but if they took her to another house... why didn't they let her take her belongings?" "Be strong, chief!" "Ever since you got here, I feel much better." "I mean it." "What's wrong?" "You shouldn't feel so safe." "I hope you're not thinking about escaping." "You've said that a thousand times." "You'll kill us if the police come rescue us and we try to escape." "I hope you won't forget it." "He's so nasty." "I don't know how to explain it." "Maybe I'm getting used to being locked up... but it's been different since you got here." "I wouldn't have been able to put up with all of this." "I also feel at ease being next to you... but don't get used to it." "I'm sure you'll be the next one to be released." "Cheer up." "If you let me," "I hope you're wrong about what you're telling me." "I want the two of us to be released." "Together at the same time." "That way neither of us will have to be alone again." "Cheer up." "What's up?" "Don't tell me you lost your memory." "I haven't lost it, but it's that... it's hard to tell where it is from up here." "I'm lost." "You'd better find it." "Or else I can't go back." "Look carefully." "See that road over there?" "Fourth gate on the left, that's the ranch!" "Are you sure or are you messing with me?" "I'm positive... but move quickly before I lose the location again." "I'll listen to you." "Captain, turn left." "Find an empty area to land on." "Give the coordinates to the ground troops to wait for us." "Let us keep the radio at least." "What's going on?" "Why are you taking everything?" "The order is no more news, got it?" "No, no." "Calm down." "Calm down." "Let's go." "Let's go." "The hostages are getting away!" "Kill them!" "What happened, Diana?" "Run!" "What happened?" "Run." "Take off that hat." "Run!" "What is it?" "Please." "Calm down." "Give this to my mother." "Tell her to baptize Miguel." "Run!" "Why didn't you tell me?" "I would've helped you." "No." "I have to type up this letter myself."
