"THOSE WHO IGNORE THEIR HISTORY ARE CONDEMNED TO REPEAT IT." "Alright, guys, you know how it goes." "It's all good, boss." "The coast is clear." "Perfect." "Thank you." "We're on our way." "Thank you very much." "Let's go." "Good evening." "Everything's good." "Guys." "You're so crazy, honey." "How could you come at this time?" "Well... when else could I come, Patico?" "How are they doing?" "Well, Emilio's upset because of school." "What is it?" "What do you mean?" "Your mother brought a private teacher, but you should see how badly he treats her." "I feel so bad for that lady." "Well, you'll have to intervene as well." "Demand him to show respect towards that woman." "You think I haven't?" "I'm just not Dad." "I know..." "Well?" "What about the princess?" "It's so tough." "She's always asking when she'll finally be able to hear from her bad ear." "What do I tell her?" "We'll have to tell her she will." "You think it's good to tell her that when we know she won't be able to hear again?" "We have to tell her that she will, and just wait." "This is too hard, honey." "I know, Patico." "Don't get like that." "Listen to me." "This is temporary until everything cools down a bit." "We'll live together again once I get to settle everything." "I know, but I want you to understand that this is very hard for me, honey." "You're hiding..." "We're not in our own house..." "What's the use of having so much money when we're not even able to sleep in our own bed?" "That job's a tough one." "That guy always has six bodyguards and two patrol cars packed with cops." "Taking that cat down is gonna be tougher than we thought." "Everyone knows that guy and he comes out on TV." "Doing this out on the street won't be possible." "That's why we have to do it at his headquarters." "The headquarters?" "We don't know what it's like in there or whether he's got more bodyguards and stuff." "Don't worry, though." "I'll get in and out of there." "Alright." "I'm going to give you three different IDs with three different names." "You're going to be in charge of buying three cars." "One SUV and two sedans." "They have to be different colors." "You know I'm a car expert." "Alright." "Good." "We need some choppers." "Yes, sir." "Automatics, handguns, ammunition... load us up like crazy, man." "I'll get you everything we need." "Alright." "Buitre, head out to the ranch after this." "Make sure everything's set." "Perfect." "So, what will you be doing while they mop and I sweep?" "Listen to this guy." "You know how we're gonna get that man?" "You know what we're gonna wear to get in there?" "Not at all." "You know why?" "Because you're a dummy." "I'm the one with the brains." "Oh, really?" "Boss." "Good luck." "For real." "We need it." "Get serious." "Well, man?" "Well, bro?" "Go hard." "Go hard, man." "Don't take what I'm about to say personally, alright?" "This coffee was... the worst thing I've ever drank, bro." "Yeah, right." "How do you like it?" "It's nice." "I got your money." "All of it's there." "Thank you very much." "Like that?" "Yes, sir." "Hello." "Ma'am, my name is Victor Sabogal." "I'd like to speak to Mr. Andres Pastrana." "Do you have an appointment?" "No, ma'am." "Mr. Pastrana can't see you without an appointment." "Here's his secretary's number." "You can call and request one." "I can't talk to him now?" "You don't think he can use a few votes I've got?" "Votes?" "Yes, sweetie." "It's in the back to the right." "I'll call Ines." "Thank you, beautiful." "You're welcome." "Hello." "Ma'am, your friend told me" "I might be able to speak to the candidate now." "No." "It's not that simple." "You can give me your phone number," "I'll give it to his advisor so he can call you, and you can explain why you want to meet with him." "I can't talk to him now?" "He doesn't look like he's busy." "No, he's got a tight schedule." "It's just that I'm not from Bogota." "I'm from Medellin and I have to leave in a bit." "I'm sorry but I can't help you." "Alright." "Tell him someone came to give his campaign 5,000 votes but you couldn't help him." "Thank you." "Hold on." "Mister?" "Sabogal." "Mr. Sabogal..." "How long will you be in Bogota?" "Very good, Marino!" "Congratulations." "You're the best." "I only ask that you make sure everything's ready so this man doesn't lack anything for the next week." "Thank you very much." "Marino's something else." "He keeps proving himself every day." "You see how it's done?" "Alright, Candonga." "Let me tell you." "We heard a new police commander was appointed." "The person I'm talking about is Colonel Osvaldo Quintana." "So do I have to...?" "None of that." "Pay close attention." "There are times in which keeping a colonel alive is a lot more important and useful to us." "You understand?" "So we're going to leave him alone." "We just have to get him on our team." "You, Candonga, are going to be in charge of that." "Whatever you say, Mr. Pablo!" "Can I count on you?" "Sure, sir." "Thanks." "Where's my drink?" "Right away." "Don't worry about us, son." "We're fine." "Tell me, how's school?" "It's tough." "Lots of discipline, lots of training, lots of studying... but good." "You'll have to do that for several years if you want to get ahead in your career." "If I get to do half of what you've..." "No!" "No, son, you can't think like that." "You have to achieve more!" "You have to surpass me!" "That has to be your clear goal." "Yes, Dad, you're right." "Dad, I wanted to ask you something." "Are you really happy in Medellin?" "You know I've never backed down before a challenge." "But this is a different kind of challenge." "It's very important and dangerous." "We're talking about capturing Pablo Escobar." "Yes." "It's big." "But it's not impossible." "Dad... are you scared?" "No." "You know what?" "Go say hello to your mother before she starts complaining." "Go on!" "Yes, sir." "Well, General." "Now that we've got a new commander in Antioquia... what's next?" "Now we wait to see results, Mr. President." "Wait?" "Major Aristides wasn't in office for even a month, but look at the tragedy he's now facing." "I completely trust Colonel Quintana, but we have to give him time." "I know how urgent this operation is, but we have to give him time." "Alright." "What about everyone else?" "We've focused on going after Escobar, but what about the Motoa brothers and Mariachi?" "Why aren't we going after them?" "Mr. President, we're going after all of them." "We know, because of our intelligence work, that the Motoa brothers left Medellin a long time ago." "What about Mariachi?" "Did he disappear also?" "We've got information that he's in the Emerald Zone, between Cundinamarca and Boyaca's city limits." "It sounds incredible to me that there's no police presence in that zone." "There is." "The problem is that the police can't get in there." "We need the army." "Ma'am, I'm looking to rent a house around here so I can move in with my family." "I want to know because I really like the area." "You need a big house, an apartment..." "Emilio!" "Come in for your snack." "Already?" "Yeah, you can come back out in a bit." "If you want, halfway down the block..." "Bye!" "Thank you." "You're welcome." "Yes?" "Colonel, I've got a call from a man who claims to have information on Pablo Escobar." "Should I transfer it?" "Yes, go ahead." "Hello?" "Wait here." "Be on the look out for anything suspicious." "I told you to come alone, Colonel." "That's a risk I can't afford to take." "Don't worry." "Nothing's going to happen." "If you plan to send your men after me when we're done..." "No one's going to send anyone after you." "Don't worry." "I came because you told me you had information on Escobar." "That's all I want to hear." "I don't have any information on Escobar." "I've got a message from him." "Look, they kidnapped my family and they won't release them till they know for sure that I spoke to you." "Pablo Escobar doesn't want to be your enemy." "He says that he's willing to give you ten million pesos a month if you stop pursuing him, and an extra ten if you help him out." "You know what?" "I can put together an accusation because of what you've just said." "Excuse me, sir." "Can you please leave?" "I'm busy." "But..." "Please leave!" "Tell Escobar that Colonel Osvaldo Quintana," "Commander of the Antioquia Police, does not sell his dignity or his position." "And make this clear..." "His dignity will never be tainted by money that comes from drug trafficking or Pablo Escobar." "Mr. Pablo, bribing him isn't going to work." "Candonga, are you sure no one followed you here?" "Of course." "Alright." "So..." "If Colonel Quintana didn't want to negotiate with us the easy way, oh, well." "They'd better not go around saying that Pablo Emilio can't solve his problems the easy way." "Mr. Pablo, just tell me what the next step is." "Forget about any next steps." "We're going to relax." "One battle at a time." "I've gone along everything you do, Pablo... but taking out another colonel..." "He just wants money." "What?" "With all due respect..." "Shut it, Candonga!" "We kill a colonel, another will come." "We get rid of a major, they'll replace him." "Every time we get rid of one, they'll find a replacement." "What do we do then?" "Keep killing cops until there isn't one left?" "Is that what you want?" "Hello." "Hi." "I have an appointment with Mr. Pastrana." "Yes, sir." "Have a seat and we'll call you." "Thank you." "Sure." "I'm sorry, he'll see you in half an hour." "He's a little tied up." "I'll wait." "Don't be long." "How long will you take?" "Patico, it's broad daylight." "I have to be twice as careful making sure the cops aren't around." "Yes, honey." "But will you take long?" "I mean, could you hurry?" "Did something happen?" "What's going on?" "Nothing, honey." "Just hurry." "Don't worry." "I won't be long." "I love you, honey." "Nothing new, Colonel." "Stay alert and keep me informed." "Hi, Ines." "Yes, he's here." "Yes, ma'am." "Go ahead." "Thank you." "Sure." "Don't move!" "Turn around!" "Move and you're dead!" "Don't move!" "Welcome." "He's waiting for you." "Go ahead." "Thank you." "Good afternoon." "Mr. Sabogal." "A pleasure." "What was that?" "Mr. Pastrana, we're with the MR-20." "We've come to get you to send the government a message." "I'll release you in an hour." "Let's go, sir." "Come with me." "A message?" "On the floor, honey." "Where are you taking me?" "I'll tell you later." "Let's go." "Don't move!" "Don't shoot!" "If you need me only to send a message," "I don't think we need to kill anyone." "Let him go." "Punk!" "Try to walk out that door and I'll kill you both!" "Let's go!" "Come on." "Calm down." "Get in." "We're out of here." "Get in the trunk, sir." "You're making a serious mistake." "You won't get anything by kidnapping me." "Please get in." "The commander will talk to you." "Watch your head." "Thank you, sir." "The conservative candidate for mayor of Bogota," "Andres Pastrana Arango, has just been kidnapped in Bogota." "Good!" "That's it!" "The candidate was taken in a green car with an unknown destination." "The authorities have not determined who the kidnappers are, but there is currently an operation underway to locate him." "Off the record, the government's strategy is to try to stop the kidnappers from taking him out of the city." "Therefore, the police have covered the city limits in search of the kidnappers." "A joint deployment has been conducted by the police, the army, and the Secret Service." "There are no news as to who is responsible for the kidnapping of Mr. Andres Pastrana." "Mr. Pastrana is the favorite for the elections for mayor of Bogota." "The authorities believe that the kidnappers have not been able to take him out of the city because of the deployment." "What's up?" "What's up, guys?" "Everything alright?" "Hey, bro." "What's up?" "Get in the car." "What's wrong?" "Get in!" "Sombra, tell Mrs. Paty that I'll be back later." "Colonel..." "Boss, we've got news." "What?" "Candonga is over there doing counterintelligence." "It looks like there's an undercover cop in front of the house." "So what do we do?" "I recommend that you don't go over there." "Yes." "That's what's best." "Thank you!" "See you later." "Alright, boss." "His bodyguards came." "I'm not sure, but one of them was the guy you were talking to the other day at the park." "They don't hold such stringent positions anymore..." "How are you, sir?" "Can you breathe okay?" "How can I breathe while I'm locked up in here?" "I demand that you let me out of here immediately!" "In a while, sir." "If I let you out, the police will show up in choppers." "Calm down." "If your commander wanted to talk, he could've called." "This is absolutely unnecessary." "Be patient, Mr. Pastrana." "Turn up the radio." "The only known fact is that the kidnappers arrived at the candidate's headquarters in a green Mazda 626." "The authorities are asking for the community to report any vehicles that fit this description..." "That's us!" "They also fled in a red truck with license plate HA6487." "Authorities are working with the testimonies..." "Pull over!" "...to locate this other automobile and find more clues as to who the kidnappers are as well as their location." "The police are controlling the situation with roadblocks and are in search of these two vehicles." "The authorities are on maximum alert." "They won't be able to leave the city." "There are roadblocks everywhere." "It's na땦e for us to think that they'll leave in the same car they came in." "We need the help of the community." "They should report any suspicious activity." "Just what we needed." "The son of an ex-president was kidnapped." "And the mayoral elections are at hand." "What's worse is that the Extraditables probably have Mr. Pastrana." "They want to pressure us." "They're doing it by kidnapping someone as important as Mr. Pastrana." "Let's hope you're wrong, Minister." "Good afternoon." "Good afternoon." "How are you?" "We were waiting for you." "I'm sorry about your son, but I assure you that we'll find him." "I guarantee it." "What's with this traffic jam?" "A roadblock?" "You've got to be kidding me." "Mr. Pastrana, keep quiet or I'll pop you right now!" "Quiet." "Don't worry." "I'll talk to them." "Yes, sir." "Hello." "Good afternoon, gentlemen." "Where are you headed, gentlemen?" "To Tunja, sir." "To Tunja." "Alright." "Have you seen anything suspicious around there?" "Cars or people you'd report?" "Suspicious?" "No, sir." "Alright, please open up the trunk." "Sure." "You have to check it through here." "Some rascals jammed the lock." "I'll just take this seat off..." "That's okay." "Go ahead." "Let's keep them moving." "Thank you." "Move it." "Alright, sir." "Where are we?" "Come with me." "Are you alright?" "Is the commander here?" "He'll be here in a bit." "Let's go." "You said you'd set me free in an hour." "You said he had a message for me." "Give me the message and I'll go." "Don't worry." "We'll only keep you here for a little while." "Come this way." "Come in, sir." "This will be your room." "I'll have someone send you some food and water." "Listen." "I know your commander personally." "He knows that if he calls me, I'll agree to meet with him." "Something isn't right here." "You're not from Bogota." "You didn't know your way around town." "I'll leave you this for your entertainment." "The Commander will be here in an hour." "Excuse me." "The kidnappers and Mr. Pastrana must be caught in rush hour traffic at this moment." "It's not likely that they were able to leave Bogota when all the police forces are searching for them." "Colombia should get ready because they can't even imagine what's coming their way." "You have the bull by the horns." "You can demand things now." "You can negotiate and make them stop chasing you." "You might even get them to not extradite you." "Exactly, Miguel." "I've been thinking that if the government was capable of restoring the extradition treaty from one day to the next by stepping over the Supreme Court who claimed it was illegal, then they can easily get rid of it as well." "Yes, sir." "Pablo..." "I know you're aware, but I just wanted to remind you that we have to hide Pastrana very well." "Even though he's out of the city, they must be looking for him everywhere they can." "Don't worry about that." "I'll take care of it tomorrow." "Once you have the Procurator... you can hide those two as if they were precious gold." "I've already got two houses like these in the middle of the jungle." "Good." "Alright, Pablo." "I'll be on my way." "Alright." "Thank you very much for all your advice, Miguel." "Remember that you can always count on us." "Likewise, Pablo." "We're at your service." "Good luck." "With these two key pieces you'll have the government, the president, and the country at your feet." "You'll remember this." "Take care." "Thank you." "Thank you." "Night has fallen over the capital but the authorities have not let their guard down." "At this time, combined army troops and the police are still holding roadblocks on all the roads leading out of Bogota." "That's terrible, right?" "Horrifying." "Mom, wasn't Dad coming today?" "Yes, honey." "But he couldn't." "I spoke to him and he told me to tell you that he'd come once he got the chance so you could have fun together." "He called and you didn't put me on the phone?" "I wanted to talk to him, too." "Kids..." "You were sleeping and..." "Don't hold that against your mom." "If it couldn't be, it couldn't be." "You have to understand that." "Why don't you finish those beautiful drawings later?" "Go put your pajamas on and you'll finish tomorrow." "Alright?" "Do as we say." "Alright, Grandma." "You'll finish with your beautiful drawings tomorrow." "Go wash your hands and brush your teeth." "It's not like I've got something to do tomorrow." "That doesn't matter, Emilio." "Go on." "We'll be right up to read you a bedtime story and kiss you goodnight." "Go on." "Thank you so much." "I don't know what to tell them, how to say it, or what to come up with anymore." "It's terrible to never know what's going on with Pablo." "Paty, I don't know if you really are na땦e or if you're just pretending." "Why do you say that?" "Because I'm desperate." "All I do is pray to the Holy Child of Atocha to protect him with His mantle." "I don't know if you can't see he's behind what's going on in Bogota..." "I don't know how you can't see that maybe..." "I'm desperate!" "I don't want to think that something might happen to him." "Calm down, Mrs. Enelia." "Calm down." "This isn't good for you." "Here's something for you to change into." "Here you go." "Don't go around saying we mistreated you." "Where's your commander?" "Why isn't he here?" "It isn't easy getting out of the jungle so don't get desperate." "How could I not?" "You said I'd be gone for one hour and it's been five!" "I didn't calculate correctly." "Don't worry." "It'll be tomorrow." "Tomorrow?" "Tell me the truth." "Don't tell me you're guerrilla." "I'm not buying it." "Are you going to kill me?" "Look, sir..." "If we wanted to kill you, you would've been six feet under a long time ago." "Goodnight." "Breaking news." "The police have just found the green Mazda 626 they had been looking for." "It was only a block away from the place where the candidate was kidnapped." "I told you!" "That sounds like negligence from the police." "It was one block away from the headquarters and they just now found it?" "They took him out of Bogota." "Let's not get ahead of ourselves." "Sir, crooks are crooks." "They know how to deceive the authorities." "That's exactly what they did." "I said we're going to find him... and that's just what we're going to do." "Mr. President... please!" "We're talking about my son's life." "Mr. Pastrana, get ready." "We're leaving." "Please." "We both know you're not with the guerrilla." "Your skin... is the skin of a city person." "Not of a countryman." "I demand you tell me who you are." "You're in no condition to make demands, sir." "Sir, the helicopter's here." "Let's go!" "Helicopter?" "The guerrilla has helicopters now?" "How do you like that?" "Where did you get it?" "We stole it from the traffickers." "And you also stole the pilot?" "What's your name?" "Look, sir, my name doesn't matter." "You've been kidnapped by the Extraditables, sir." "It was an order given by Pablo Escobar." "Now do you understand?" "I knew it." "Let's go." "Let's go, sir." "Don't worry, nothing's going to happen to you." "Let's go!" "Let's go, guys." "How're you doing, sir?" "I can't breathe!" "We're almost there." "Don't worry." "How are you, Mr. Pastrana?" "How was your ride?" "Terrible." "But I had time to think and draw conclusions as to why you kidnapped me." "I still don't get it." "I'm nothing more than a candidate." "I'm not even part of the government." "You're wrong, Mr. Pastrana." "You're part of the oligarchic families of this country that resolved to perpetuate their power in an vile way." "Your father was once president of this country, and you represent the return to power for the conservative party." "And that's why you kidnapped me?" "So I'd lose the elections?" "Not necessarily." "Look, you, the political class, are for extradition." "The war that's coming is real harsh." "Real harsh." "I warn you, out of the Extraditables" "I'm the most moderate one." "I'm the calmest, the most serene." "Very serious events are in store for this country." "You, the politicians, are going to be the first to die." "So you are going to kill me?" "If we wanted to kill you, we would've done so a long time ago in Bogota." "I want to let you know..." "Mr. Andres Pastrana Arango, that starting right now, whatever happens or doesn't happen to you depends solely on your father."
