"THOSE WHO IGNORE THEIR HISTORY ARE CONDEMNED TO REPEAT IT." "Raquel." "Raquel!" "Good morning, Mrs. Ana Maria." "Good morning." "I'll bring your coffee right away." "No, hold on." "Why are you crying?" "It's nothing, ma'am." "Nothing?" "Why are you crying?" "It's just that..." "I'm embarrassed to tell you this, but..." "I've heard the reporters talking, you understand?" "What about that?" "They say that El Espectador is next..." "That Mr. Pablo Escobar will leave us without a job." "You know how badly I need this." "Without a job?" "I don't know." "That's what they're saying." "I'm really scared." "You know I'm raising my three children on my own." "I know." "Don't worry." "Look at me." "You're not going to lose your job, and Pablo Escobar isn't going to destroy anything." "Really?" "Really." "Well, he won't leave you without a job, so don't worry." "Keep doing what you were doing and don't worry." "Yes, ma'am." "Go on." "Thank you." "Hey, big-head." "Calm down." "Why are you so grumpy?" "Fabio." "What?" "You can't fight with Pablo." "Really?" "He's your brother-in-law." "It's okay to have differences and arguments with family." "Especially since I've got such strong arguments!" "Don't bug me now!" "How rude!" "Tell me about your strong arguments because I don't know them." "Are you serious, Patricia?" "What?" "That head of yours isn't there just to do pretty hairdos!" "You're gonna keep being rude?" "Don't give me that!" "Haven't you watched the news?" "Read the newspaper every so often!" "What are you talking about?" "Mr. Galan's murder?" "Of course I'm talking about Mr. Galan's murder." "What did Pablo tell you this time?" "Why don't you tell me what he told you?" "That his enemies killed him?" "And you believed him?" "That's great." "Pablo Emilio's been bugging for so many years about finding a solution to the extradition and negotiating so we are all benefited... and bam!" "He screws up in such a stupid way!" "No way." "I'm very sorry but I refuse to believe that." "Believe what?" "Look at me." "Can't you see the entire country accuses Pablo Emilio Escobar Gaviria and his partner Mariachi, meaning the entire cartel, which includes all of us, of killing Galan?" "You're so dumb, Paty." "Pablo gets blamed for everything in this country!" "Well, it's different this time." "If there's a bomb, it's his fault!" "If someone's killed, it's his fault!" "If a dog gets run over, it's his fault!" "Well, this time's different." "This time we argued because of that." "He can do what he wants with his life." "He can f*** it up if he wants!" "But why does he have to f*** mine up and everyone else's?" "Can you stop screaming?" "No!" "You know what the worst part is?" "This time he won't have president friends, politician friends, or any kind of friend that will help him out." "He's got the whole country after him." "Listen to this, so you remember your brother forever." "This is the beginning of the end of Pablo Emilio Escobar Gaviria!" "Grant unto them, Lord, eternal rest." "Let perpetual light shine upon them." "Grant unto them, Lord, eternal rest." "Let perpetual light shine upon them." "Here, Pablito." "I brought you some food just the way you like it." "Thank you, Mom." "My pleasure." "I'll leave you so you can talk." "Look at her!" "She fell asleep." "She vomited all the way here." "What's wrong with you?" "Why are you so quiet?" "I'm sick." "Huh?" "I'm sick." "Sick?" "What's wrong?" "I'm terrified, Pablo." "Fabio told me everything." "Say something." "What will you say?" "Where's Fabio?" "Where's Fabio?" "Don't you go take it out on him." "He's got every right to be mad at you!" "How could you kill Mr. Galan?" "Explain that to me." "In front of my children I am not a murderer." "Like I told my mom..." "I don't want my children to have any kind of access to the lying and morbid media that manipulate the truth." "I don't want them around magazines, or newspapers, or newscasts." "You will not ruin my children's innocence." "That's an order, ma'am." "No, Maru..." "This is terrible." "I swear I don't know how I manage to stand up." "What about the boys?" "Well..." "I don't know where they get all their strength." "They're always looking after me... making sure I don't fall apart." "They're taking care of me." "Alberto and I are trying to fly over but the flights from Indonesia are a bit slow." "I don't know if we'll make it on time." "No, Maruja, don't come." "We want to be with you." "It's not that I don't want you to be here." "That would be great, but things are going terribly here." "Don't take the risk." "What will you do alone with all this?" "Look, you won't make it." "You're going to have to be rushing." "It doesn't make sense." "Really..." "I don't think you two are out of harm's way yet." "You have to leave the country." "That man isn't going to stop." "Yes." "I'm guessing we'll have to flee the country." "Why did you let him go to Soacha?" "I know, it was crazy." "According to the information Colonel Quintana left us this is the Medellin cartel's organizational chart." "Where are the Moreno brothers?" "Well, intelligence doesn't have the exact information yet." "We don't know if they're part of Pablo Escobar's structure or if they operate independently." "Colonel, considering our objective, that doesn't matter." "That's right, General." "We're going against everyone here, not caring if they're from the military wing, which seems to be the case with all of these rascals." "The bosses, the advisers, the helpers..." "In other words, whatever sounds like the Medellin cartel will be exterminated." "Aguirre!" "I'm sorry." "I'm sorry, General." "I meant, they'll be captured." "May I ask how that will be done?" "Tapped phones, rewards, rural patrolling, roadblocks, intelligence work..." "What will you do with the officers that are here but are part of Escobar's payroll?" "It's obvious that a big part of the force is corrupt." "We're going to work with a small group and we'll debug it." "Sounds good." "Good luck." "Gentlemen, if anything's clear, it is the presidential order." "The responsibility of showing positive results lies on us five." "Colonel Pabon, together with Aguirre, will be in Medellin going against the cartel." "General Peraza will be in the security department." "Colonel Fernandez will go after Senator Galan's murderers in Soacha." "In theory, we're speaking about the same people." "We may be speaking about the same people, but they are different targets." "Your target, your mission... is to catch the people who committed the acts in Soacha." "We don't have a single clue for now." "Fernandez, you should be ashamed to say that." "It's a simple as this... either we show positive results or we'll be dismissed from active service." "Here, they brought you this." "They typed it up already." "Thanks." "Galan, the people are with you!" "What a pure and transparent life, what unique honesty." "The people rise and ask for justice." "I pray to God that this sacrifice may finally get society to wake up, to join and support the government and its institutions." "But at the same time, demand a more efficient effort without letting gunmen, or kidnappers, or any other manifestation of violence cause intimidation." "I also want to ask Mr. Cesar Gaviria, on behalf of the people and on behalf of my family, to take on my father's mission." "What?" "You have our support in becoming the president Colombia wanted and needed." "It's a simple as this... either we show positive results or we'll be dismissed from active service." "Lieutenant, come to my office right away." "Hello." "Alexander Quiroga?" "Yes." "I'm with the police." "I need to search you." "What's going on?" "What did I do?" "Come with us." "What's going on?" "I didn't do anything." "Silence." "Hello?" "Son, how are you?" "My house phone broke." "Yes." "Hold on." "Yes?" "This is a police operation." "We need to search you." "Come with us." "Where to?" "Silence." "What is this?" "What's going on?" "Get in." "Where are you taking me?" "Don't ask." "There may not be any emeralds on Colombia's coast, but there are Arabs." "We're very valuable... and also green!" "It's true!" "Get your hands up and stand up." "Who's this?" "Are you deaf or just pretending?" "Hands up!" "Search everything!" "Tell us what's going on." "Sure, I'll tell you." "You made a phone call saying Mr. Galan deserved to get shot." "Did you make that call or not?" "You're wrong, sir." "We didn't make any phone calls." "Sir, we caught him before he got away." "Look at what he had." "Look at what I found." "You guys are all set." "Ammunition and a 357 magnum." "So you didn't kill Mr. Galan?" "Yes, that's an important arrest, Colonel." "Congratulations." "Please keep me posted." "Yes, thank you." "Arrests?" "I'd gladly give you the scoop, but that's sensitive information." "You will hear of it in due time." "Don't worry." "I didn't come to get any scoops." "I'm still very worried about the newspaper and its reporters." "Mrs. Ana Maria, as I had told you, nothing's going to happen in El Espectador." "As far as I know, Escobar's war was against your sons and they're no longer in the country." "Yes, but what about the other reporters?" "I'm sorry but it just seems a bit odd." "Why are you so sure nothing's going to happen to the newspaper?" "Pablo Escobar has just killed a presidential candidate." "Right now there isn't a single newspaper that isn't talking about that." "I personally don't think Escobar would go against every newspaper in the country." "No, of course not." "But El Espectador has a history with Escobar." "Look, I assure you that the last thing Escobar is thinking about right now is doing something to El Espectador." "Besides, the newspaper has official protection." "I don't think it's enough." "You don't?" "For example, can you limit the airspace?" "Limit the airspace?" "Yes." "Mrs. Ana Maria..." "Escobar isn't going to bomb you." "I understand you're worried, but, with all due respect, I think you're exaggerating." "We have given you, your reporters, and your family our support." "We have given you everything you've asked for." "I honestly don't think anything's going to happen to you." "We're posting the pictures of the gang." "Yes." "Perfect." "Excuse me, officer." "So if we ID this guy the police will reward us?" "Yes, that's right." "Especially if you saw him at Soacha's town square." "Don't be alarmed." "This has to be a mistake." "If we all know we're innocent, then we'll be set free." "We are innocent." "These people are talking of a phone call we never made." "Besides, they're accusing us of Galan's death." "I understand the situation is serious, but..." "I insist." "If we're innocent, we have nothing to worry about." "What about the gun, the vest, and the ammunition they found?" "How will we justify that?" "We can't." "The officers that arrested us planted that there." "It's as simple as that." "Exactly!" "How will we prove they don't belong to us?" "We're screwed." "Let them look for fingerprints." "We'll see if they find something." "I've got a license for my gun." "Could that be why I was arrested?" "I don't see another reason." "I'm nothing but a vegetable merchant." "You there." "Who?" "Me?" "No, the other one." "Come out here." "Who?" "Me?" "For your information, I was born in Barranquilla of Arab descent." "I don't care where you're from." "The Colonel needs to see you." "I want to speak to him also." "Don't worry, guys." "I'll handle this." "I'll clear this thing up." "This is a mistake." "Why are you handcuffing me?" "Hands behind your back." "Move it." "I spoke to General Peraza about the situation with El Espectador." "What did he say?" "He thinks we're in danger?" "No." "Not at all." "He thinks that El Espectador and its reporters are safe." "Yes, I know you don't think so." "After what happened with Galan," "El Espectador is, once again, a target for the Medellin Cartel." "Neither Fernando nor Juan Guillermo may be here, but..." "We're all here." "Well, yeah." "We're obviously scared." "El Espectador hasn't changed its position, and we know the kind of people we're up against." "But we're not up against anyone." "We're reporting." "I mean, we're defending certain ideas and values, but that's all." "I'd be lying if I said everyone here is calm and thinks the same way Gen. Peraza does." "In any case... we're all here still." "I know, and I really value that." "Help me talk to them and put them at ease." "I promise I'll keep seeking support and that I'll find us protection." "Yes, ma'am." "Excuse me." "Nicky." "Yes?" "I know all of you are able to find jobs elsewhere but haven't done so." "Thank you." "Really, thank you so much." "This is our home." "Thank you." "What's up, Topo?" "Is the job too complicated?" "I don't know, bro." "This thing's ruined." "It got wet." "It's useless." "Don't worry." "We can fix this." "Did you see the car?" "It's nice, man." "We just jacked it." "It's nice." "The car's nice, but we have to check the engine to make sure it won't leave us stranded with this." "Help me out with that." "Check the engine." "Don't worry, Topo." "Kiko's good with cars." "Let's check it." "You know we've got the boss' back." "How could this be wet, man?" "This is like new." "We just need to make space there." "It's nice." "Come in." "Colonel, this is the leader of the gang." "Hold on." "The leader of what gang?" "What are you talking about?" "Silence." "You're making a serious mistake." "This says that you're a chemist." "Yes, I'm a chemical engineer." "I'm guessing you can cook." "Of course." "You cook coke?" "Coke?" "Can you cook cocaine?" "If I may, the right term isn't to cook but to extract cocaine." "Can you extract cocaine?" "Of course I can." "Cocaine, codeine, heroine, morphine... but I learned that in school in a class called pharmacognosy." "Look." "Don't wisecrack here." "Your situation is quite serious." "I'm asking if you know how to extract cocaine." "And I'm answering your questions." "If I may now ask you a very simple question, Colonel... please." "I'm the one who asks the questions here." "Of course I know how to extract cocaine, but what does that have to do with our arrest?" "Besides, I came to the capital to take a course on hydroponics." "Take him away." "Hold on!" "Colonel, I'm telling you the truth!" "I'm not lying!" "I'm telling you the truth!" "I wouldn't hurt a fly!" "You can ask anyone who knows me!" "Colonel!" "This is an injustice!" "This is very important not just for our party but for the country." "I ask you..." "I ask all of you to give this the importance it deserves." "That's why I'm here." "I'm all ears." "It's clear to all of us that the next president of Colombia cannot be nominated by a 16-year-old kid." "No." "All Juan Manuel did was suggest my name." "We still have to go through the elections." "We still have to choose the liberal candidate." "The liberal candidate will be chosen in the primary." "Remember the talk we had." "I think everything changes with this new scenario." "I plan to run in the elections as Galan's replacement." "That's exactly what this is about, about cancelling the primary." "Mr. Gaviria... as good liberals, and in an effort to unify the party, we plan on proposing the cancellation of the primary." "Let us have a liberal candidate, but let him be chosen by consensus, among those of us who were already potential candidates." "Already potential candidates?" "So, in other words, I don't belong here?" "Mr. Galan was the nominated candidate here." "Galan wanted the candidate to be chosen in a primary." "I've been handed his legacy, and I will seek the people's support in this... regardless of what you've all planned." "Excuse me." "Do you realize the uproar you caused with what you said about Gaviria?" "Juan Ma, I read what you had written, and it didn't say anything about asking Gaviria to continue your father's legacy." "I thought of that after you spoke about not letting my father's efforts fall into the hands of just anyone." "Do you think I made a mistake?" "No." "On the contrary." "I think you were right." "Look at how things are going." "Sen. Santorini and other party candidates want to cancel the primary." "They want to elect the next liberal candidate themselves." "That can't happen." "Of course not!" "And Gaviria is trying to keep that from happening." "You know what?" "If the primary does happen, I think Gaviria will win." "Actually, I'm almost certain that Gaviria's going to be Colombia's next president." "All we need to do now is wait for the people to vote." "I think they will." "I think that... they're going to pay tribute to your father." "The other thing I was going to tell you is that I spoke to Gen. Peraza and he confirmed that they had arrested the suspects in your father's killing." "Really?" "That fast?" "That's what he said." "Let's hope it's true and not that they arrested just anyone in order to show positive results, as they've done so many times." "How's it possible a newcomer can suddenly join the race just because some brat said so?" "The rules were clear, though!" "If the decision is to have the primary election, then we will, but only with the candidates we had originally, no new ones." "Could you stay still for a moment?" "You're making us all nervous." "The press has to find out about everything they're doing to us." "That's what we need!" "For the public to find out about this arbitrariness!" "That's it!" "Farid." "Faryad..." "Faryad Dagher." "That's my name." "I ask that you at least get that right about me." "Let's go." "You're letting me go?" "Yeah." "Handcuff him." "Why don't you look for Galan's real killers instead of using us as your scapegoats?" "Scapegoats?" "You think the law is going to believe this lie?" "Sir, we don't make up lies." "We gather evidence." "Well, show me the evidence!" "You all planted the weapons you found." "Didn't you?" "Tell me I'm lying." "This can't be true." "It can't be." "This is incredible." "Stand at five." "So now someone's going to identify me?" "Talk as much as you want, but once everyone else comes in, you're to be quiet." "How could you think someone's going to ID me when I haven't done anything?" "Unless it's my mom, my siblings or my family!" "You wanted evidence?" "We'll give it to you." "How else do I have to say that I didn't do anything?" "!" "Colonel, there you have him." "Bring in the rest." "Yes, sir." "Get in!" "Quickly!" "Stand in that order." "Can you identify the man you saw at Soacha's town square the night Mr. Luis Carlos Galan was shot?" "Number five." "Are you sure that's the man that shot Mr. Galan?" "Yes, that's him." "Number three." "Number one..." "I'm sure of it." "Nothing conclusive yet." "We don't have any specific arrests, but we've given their criminal organization a few blows." "I'm not interested in planes or ranches." "I want drug traffickers." "We're working on that, sir." "We installed a new telephone software to tap calls." "We also have a reward program underway." "Come back once you have better news." "Mr. President..." "Bogota's police intelligence has struck a major blow against Galan's murderers." "Now's when you tell me you found the gun but not the person that fired it." "We're gathering the evidence to prove we've got them." "Who?" "The perpetrators in Galan's murder." "Excuse me." "I spoke to Gen. Peraza." "I know he's been looking after us and has been nice to us, but he feels that's enough." "But of course, we don't feel the same way." "How do you think Juan Guillermo and I feel here on the other side of the world, unable to do anything?" "You're all living in indefinite aguish." "There's nothing we can do." "That's how it is." "Mom... that's how it was." "Juan Guillermo and I have been talking things over, and we've decided that we're going back to Colombia." "What?" "No, no, no!" "You can't come back, especially now that the situation's worsened." "That's exactly why we have to go back." "We have a huge responsibility to the country, to the newspaper... and that's why we can no longer watch from the sidelines." "We're going back." "This is temporary, and it's normal." "What's happened here is very serious, but everything will improve with time." "That's what we all want... an improvement." "I think we've got a lot to do over there." "That's why we've made this decision, and we're going back." "No matter what you say, we're going back." "Everything eventually comes to light." "They may want to make up tons of lies about us saying we're criminals, terrorists, gunmen... all that!" "But they can't prove it!" "They can't justify it!" "I know they did plant a bunch of weapons so we'd appear guilty." "But we have a legal system, in which we are innocent until proven otherwise." "Besides, my brother's one of the country's best attorneys." "I know he'll defend us." "Listen up!" "Meeting's adjourned, gentlemen." "Out." "I told you!" "They're letting us out!" "Your lie failed, huh?" "Letting you out?" "Sure." "Open it." "Make a line, people." "Come on." "Hurry." "Follow me." "Move it." "No one will ever consider me Luis Carlos's replacement." "No, that's not it, but I do think it's necessary for you to take on Luis Carlos's mission during these elections." "That's a huge responsibility." "I know." "I know it is, but we cannot let Sen. Santorini or the other liberal party candidates win." "Well, at least we won the primary election battle." "The party leaders agreed to not cancel it." "So you'd run as a candidate in the primary?" "Of course." "Well, that's a victory in itself." "We're still missing the most important part." "We must confirm whether I'll get Mr. Galan's votes" "You're going to be the next president, Cesar." "I came to wish you a safe trip and a nice stay in Paris." "I know that leaving right now is very complicated because of everything that's going on, but I also think you'll have peace over there." "Take good care." "Be sure about your escorts and your security scheme." "Take every action necessary to be able to move forward." "Will do." "This country is going through a very tough time, but we have to do something about it." "We have to save it from the fear and the terror in which we live." "I don't know how, but we have to." "Good evening." "The president of the nation demanded results, regarding Mr. Galan's murder, and that's exactly what we've got." "There you have them." "These are the men that killed" "Senator and presidential candidate" "Luis Carlos Galan Sarmiento." "I'm going to blow up El Espectador." "And why exactly are you telling me this crap?" "Because I want to know your opinion." "What do you think?" "You really want to know what I think?" "Of course, Fabio." "You got mad at me last time because I didn't tell you anything." "I don't want you getting upset again." "That's why I'm telling you what I plan to do." "Do whatever you want." "Your sister told you I wanted to talk to you?" "Of course she did." "Why else do you think I went through the trouble of coming?" "I thought we were going to have a grown-up conversation, not that you'd come to me asking what I think about something you already did." "Tell me what you think then." "What do you think about what I just said?" "You really want to know what I think?" "You know what I think?" "I think you f***** up my life." "You f***** up Peluche's life." "You f***** up Gonzalo's life and the entire cartel." "Want to know why?" "Because you killed Galan." "You f***** us all up." "That's what I think." "Well..." "I don't think that's reason enough for you to snitch on me to my wife and turn your back on me when I needed you most, just because you were mad at me." "I didn't snitch to Paty." "We were talking, and it slipped out." "That's it." "That's what I mean by snitching on me." "I'll tell you something else." "You're very wrong about me." "I don't know if you've seen the news, but the Government just arrested" "Mr. Luis Carlos Galan Sarmiento's real killers."
