"THOSE WHO IGNORE THEIR HISTORY ARE CONDEMNED TO REPEAT IT." "Thank God you're here, honey!" "My God!" "I thought they'd killed you too." "I was glued to the radio, but they wouldn't say anything." "They killed him, Isabel." "It's my fault they killed him." "Why are you saying that, Javier?" "I couldn't do anything to save him." "I'm the worst." "No, don't say that." "You're the only one brave enough to be with him." "Just be grateful you made it out alive." "I can't be grateful." "I'm..." "I'm a murderer." "I helped kill the Colonel." "Don't say such awful things, honey." "They... they were going to kill everyone." "They threatened me." "They were going to kill our daughter..." "They were going to kill you and all of us." "I didn't know what to do." "What do you mean?" "What do you mean you're an accomplice, Javier?" "What do you mean they were going to kill us?" "I have to go to the academy." "Everyone's probably looking for me." "Hold on." "You can't go anywhere like that." "The first thing you have to do is calm down." "Please!" "We have to calm down and be levelheaded." "I ruined my life, Isabel." "I ruined it." "Calm down, honey." "What happened today in Medellin is a blow, not only to the National Police, but against the entire nation." "Col. Osvaldo Quintana Quintero's killers murdered him because he was hunting them down." "He took their drugs and their labs from them." "The government vehemently condemns this vile and cowardly terrorist attack and is committed to his family and the entire nation to capture his murderers." "That is all." "Your safety in Soacha is guaranteed, sir." "We've got agents throughout town and members of the police in the square and the surrounding areas, as well as your bodyguards." "Also, the consumption of alcohol is prohibited." "We also ordered that anyone trying to get into the square has to be thoroughly searched." "So, if we go to Soacha you can assure that absolutely nothing will happen to me." "You can rest assured." "You're going to see people with banners around you, who aren't your followers." "I mean, they are, but they're part of the organization there to protect you." "You'll be protected from every angle." "Believe me, sir." "The only thing you'll find in Soacha are followers." "I'm sorry..." "Alright, Tomas." "Thank you." "If you'll excuse me..." "Mrs. Gloria, sir, ma'am." "Everything is under control." "I didn't say anything." "I think I've said enough already." "What I am going to ask you is to not get in a truck like you usually do." "You'll be completely vulnerable." "Ms. Gloria, organizing an event like this one is very complicated." "We've got support from the mayor, councilmen, deputies..." "What happened today in Medellin is reason enough to cancel." "In one of the cruelest attacks in recent memory," "Col. Osvaldo Quintana Quintero was killed today, commander of the Antioquia police." "He was shot more than 150 times..." "What happened, honey?" "Have you eaten?" "No." "Why did you turn off the TV?" "What do you mean?" "Kids shouldn't watch the news!" "You're not old enough to watch the news." "I don't like it." "I want to see if they say Dad's name again." "What do you mean?" "Yeah." "They're saying Dad killed the colonel, along with his friends from the Cartel." "No, sir." "That's not true." "Look, Emilio." "Listen carefully." "You can't believe what you hear on TV, on the radio, on the streets..." "They say lots of things about your dad, but everything is a lie." "A lie?" "Yes." "Is Dad bad?" "How could you say that?" "How could you think your dad's bad?" "Why don't you go have your soup?" "Go on." "Have your soup." "No, siree." "Go on." "Alright?" "Okay." "Go on and behave." "I should spank you." "The attack was blamed on the Medellin Cartel, lead by Pablo Escobar." "The government condemned the attack, calling it a terrorist and cowardly act and made a commitment to capture the murderers." "What happened to you?" "Were you kidnapped?" "Officer!" "Where were you?" "Why'd you just show up now?" "General, everything was normal." "I left the Colonel's house and headed for the academy." "We were intercepted at a traffic light by by heavily armed men." "There was nothing I could do." "They forced me out of the car and told me to leave Medellin and never come back." "That's when they emptied their weapons on the Colonel." "There was nothing I could do." "You can't imagine how worried Paty is." "She doesn't know what to tell her son anymore." "Emilio keeps asking and asking questions about whether his father is a murderer and all that." "She doesn't know what to do anymore." "Well, she's dumb for not coming up with an excuse to defend me in my son's eyes." "No, that's not how it works." "She's doing what she can." "We have to accept the situation." "He hears things all over the place about how his dad is this and that... a criminal, a murderer." "He's bombarded with it from all around." "Well, if you don't help either, then it's even harder." "What?" "What, Pablo?" "I don't help?" "What is it you'd like me to do?" "I don't know, Mom." "You're a serious woman." "You're clever and smart." "You should have an answer to every question Emilio asks." "You know I'm being blamed for every murder in this country." "Now they're also blaming me for Col. Quintana's." "The government knows that if they blame me for everything they can attack me better." "That's what he needs, an explanation." "Besides, why is Emilio watching the news or reading newspapers?" "He should be watching nature shows." "Let me tell you this." "Daniela is forbidden from watching the news, reading magazines, newspapers... everything!" "Perfect." "I can help you." "Let's put them in a glass case and have them orbit the earth so that they hear nothing." "Yes, that's exactly what we're going to do." "Yes, that's good." "That boy isn't stupid!" "He's your son!" "Paty isn't dumb either, and I'm ceretainly not." "What do you want?" "Want us to bury our heads in the sand?" "You've been preparing this stew for a while now." "You've been stirring this up for a few years now, and it's getting too thick." "If you eat it, you'll have to digest it yourself." "Think about it." "You know what?" "I lost my appetite." "Really?" "That's funny, what a coincidence." "I don't want to cook for you anymore." "Take it off the stove if you don't want it to burn." "Gentleman... it's great to see you playing parcheesi." "Good night." "Alright." "See you tomorrow." "Kisses." "Your siblings couldn't get a flight for today." "They'll be here midday tomorrow." "Honey, you should get some rest." "Nicky, that picture is too much." "The article is too much, Ms. Ana Maria." "He's the second colonel" "Pablo Escobar and the Medellin Cartel kill." "How terrible." "That family must be devastated." "The usual statement made by President Lopez about capturing the perpetrators is going to appear on the second page." "That same statement was made when Guillermo died, but they continue killing people as if nothing." "Galan's going to Soacha won't make the papers." "The news came in too late." "That's fine." "Have someone keep an eye on that." "We'll publish it in Sunday's edition." "It's important to follow up on Galan." "I just hope we don't have to put an article about him on the front page." "Nicky." "I'm sorry." "Excuse me." "Yeah!" "Drink it!" "Another one!" "Yeah!" "Another one!" "Here, here!" "Want more?" "Another one!" "Everything's fine here." "Let's check out the rest of the town." "Go ahead, Major." "It's time, people." "I'm so scared." "Even my legs are shaking." "Chill." "I need you to focus." "You know what you have to do." "I'll just go under the stage, while you cover me with the banner." "That's it." "Don't worry." "I've got your back." "You already know." "Go straight home, and I'll call you in a few days." "Did you bring it?" "Well, there's no going back, gentlemen." "It's in God's hands now." "Amen." "Well, is everything arranged to protect Mr. Luis Carlos Galan?" "The Dept. of Security will be taking care of Mr. Galan, and we'll take care of the public." "I put a major in charge." "Please increase security for Mr. Galan and the other candidates." "Neither my government nor my country can take another death." "Yes, Mr. President." "I'll take care of that tomorrow." "Maybe you and General Perasa can give me a positive turn regarding Pablo Escobar." "The legitimacy of Colombian authority must come from the people." "That will be the best answer to those who wish to influence our country's fate through intimidation and violence." "Ready?" "Ready." "I even had time to visit my parents." "They're worried about my trip to Soacha but do think I should go." "How do you feel?" "Good." "Calm." "Everything is ready, and my safety is guaranteed, so..." "I don't see why I shouldn't go." "In any case, we have to take precautions." "Do not ride in any roofless trucks and stay close to your bodyguards at all times." "Don't let anyone carry you on their shoulders either!" "There, there." "I promise." "I promise." "Take care of the boys." "You're the one who has to take care of yourself tonight." "How did it go?" "How could I lie to the General like that?" "The worst part is he wants to talk to me again tomorrow." "Well, you'll go and tell him the exact same thing you told him today, Javier." "No, Isabel." "It's not just him." "It's everyone else." "The police, the detectives, the media... everyone wants to talk to me." "They all feel like it was their brother or son who was killed." "And you don't?" "You just have to be cautious." "You have to be cool." "That means never telling the truth." "Ms. Ana and her son, Ernesto, will be at the funeral, along with his other two children." "We'll be there too." "My conscience won't be at ease... not today, not tomorrow, not ever." "Don't worry, honey." "Take this to the stash I've got inside, alright?" "The boys are behaving very well." "They're dealing... making money, bringing it to me." "I take 25%." "The Motoas understand, and Ramada and Arellano get it as usual, no problem." "Gonzalo, do you realize what's going to happen tonight?" "You know I think your way of dealing with Luis Carlos Galan is a bit exaggerated." "As soon as we kill him, the doors to a dialogue with the government will be completely shut." "Those doors closed a very long time ago, Gonzalo." "You know that I tried to negotiate with the government." "I tried it peacefully." "We couldn't do it." "Today will mark a before and an after." "If after killing a colonel in the morning and killing their choice presidential candidate at night this country doesn't understand it has to kneel before me, then I won't think twice about going after civilians from now on." "Leave those there, Sebastian, and go down immediately." "We'll be out in five minutes." "Thank you, Sebastian." "Yes, sir." "Hold on, Sebas!" "Take very good care of my dad." "Don't worry." "Alright." "Why can't I go?" "Juan Manuel!" "Let's do something." "I promise I'll take you to Barranquilla on Sunday to watch the game against Ecuador." "Doesn't that sound better?" "Yeah!" "I want to go too." "So do I." "Listen to them!" "I promise to get tickets for Sunday, but you're staying here tonight." "Take care of your mom, go to sleep early, and obey her." "Sir." "Say bye to your dad." "Good luck, Dad." "Bye, son." "Take care." "Can we go now?" "Hold on!" "Alright." "I'll stay here, with my eyes open." "Nothing's going to happen." "I promise." "Hold on." "Put it on." "Yes." "In the car." "We're in a hurry." "Put it on in front of me." "Yes, put it on here." "Fine." "Come with me to my room, and I'll put it on." "Is it okay if I use the other vest, since no one's using it?" "No, Dad's going to use that over his head, but you can hold if for him in the meantime." "What a mess!" "Half of the people are drunk, and there aren't even any checkpoints at the entrances." "They're not even checking people." "They're letting everyone in here." "There's no control." "No control, no police... nothing." "Major." "Can I ask you something?" "What is it?" "Shouldn't we be at the main square?" "We've got several units over there already as well as people from the security department." "Yes, but we're not talking about just anyone here." "He's the next president." "Exactly!" "We have to make sure the perimeter is secure." "So, get moving." "Excuse me, sir." "Sir?" "Help me get Pablo out." "Come here." "We're here." "Hold on." "The fireplace is inside, sir." "It's nice and warm." "You'll be comfortable." "Yes, sir." "Want some?" "Would you like some coffee or tea?" "Cain... they weren't celebrating, man." "The situation here is very serious." "After getting the news on the judge we woke up to the news of the attack against Col. Quintana." "Mom, that was the chronicle of a death foretold." "They knew that the bomb that killed the governor of Antioquia was meant for Quintana." "Even still, he stayed in Medellin." "From what I hear, his transfer was only a matter of days." "I can just imagine what his relatives and the other officers must be thinking." "Another death and the Government does nothing." "I'm sorry, but I have to go to Soacha to report on Galan's visit." "It was nice hearing from you." "I'm glad you're okay." "It's absurd for Galan to continue campaigning and doing public demonstrations." "That's madness." "Yes, but we still have to cover it." "We'll talk later." "Mom, if you want to soften up the editorial line, do it!" "We can't force you to." "I know you're saying that because you want to protect us, not because you think we should change it." "Mom, there are too many deaths already." "There was another one today." "You can't imagine how powerless now that we're so far away and unable to do anything." "Yes, I know, and I understand." "But we will not stop doing what your father taught us." "We won't ever allow his death to go in vain." "Mom, kisses." "Say hello to everyone." "Take care." "Bye." "Guys." "I want you close to me at all times." "Alright?" "Yes, sir, don't worry." "Of course." "That's why we're here." "That's our job." "Are you okay?" "Yes, of course." "Everything's fine." "Are you sure?" "You seem a bit nervous." "It's the first time you asked to borrow a bulletproof vest." "I'm just a bit anxious about us getting out of this one quickly." "I'm fine, though." "The vest was just in case." "Tomas, if you think that going to that demonstration is too dangerous, then tell me." "It's late, and it would be very inconvenient, but... we can cancel it." "No way." "Everything's ready over there." "It's just that I want to get it over with, but everything will be okay." "Are you sure?" "Yes, of course." "Right, Sebastian?" "Yes, of course." "Don't worry." "We'll take good care of you." "Nothing will happen to you." "I promise." "Don't worry." "You're in good hands." "Good evening." "Will he be long?" "Thanks." "Thank you very much." "You feel so bad you're chugging that milk?" "Pablo!" "Can you hear me?" "Hello?" "This damn..." "Pablo!" "What's up, Mariachi?" "Can you hear me, Pablo?" "He can't talk to you." "He's not feeling too well." "Can he hear me, though?" "I'll put him on." "Go ahead." "Listen up." "My people in Bogota have told me that our guy is going to the event." "I repeat... our guy will most likely go to the event." "So let's celebrate!" "He copied." "Goodbye." "Get some rest." "We'll wait for you outside." "If anything, Marino's there." "Lie down." "We have to call Mr. Galan." "It's best he not come." "I don't understand why they told us everything was under control when everything is so out of control." "It's too dangerous." "Look at the stage." "It's not separated from the audience." "They only have two officers." "Let's hope they've got more who are undercover." "If they are, then they must be drinking." "Everyone here is drunk." "All we can tell him is to not take long, and then we'll leave." "I insist we cancel it all." "All we have to do is keep up faith and trust in God." "What do you think about Gaviria?" "I think he's very smart... an amazing politician." "I think he's the best debate chief your father could've found." "That's what Dad said, and I think he's helped his campaign though he doesn't have many votes." "Votes?" "What do you know about that?" "I know." "Dad has told me." "He didn't enter the campaign because of the votes but because he's a valuable politician." "Besides, he's a real liberal, and that's what matters." "How do you think Sen. Santorini will do?" "The opinion polls say it won't go well for him, but I honestly think he's your father's real contender." "He's got an awful gaze." "I don't like it." "That's because he's the kind of politician your father has always gone against." "Dad's going to win." "He'll defeat him." "Juan Manuel!" "Don't laugh." "I know it, and the opinion polls say so." "I'm not laughing at you." "I just didn't know you had that political vein." "Liberal candidate Luis Carlos Galan will speak before thousands of followers tonight in..." "Sir." "Do you need anything?" "No." "Don't worry." "Please turn the TV on for me." "Pablo, on the day you wanted to be happy, instead you're like this." "Today?" "What's going on?" "Don't mind me." "You two are up to something, and you haven't told me." "Don't come telling me that you're worried about today's colonel." "No way." "You two have something bigger planned and haven't told me." "Tell me now." "Tonight's the night, Gonzalo." "What night?" "Alright, guys... let's play." "What can we play?" "Go get the parcheesi." "And you, bring the liquor." "You, help me with the table." "Fabito, let's go have a drink and play parcheesi." "Don't act like that." "Come on." "You're Mr. Galan's advisors, do you realize the security measures here are precarious and ineffective?" "These people are drunk." "They're not monitoring the entrance." "They're not checking people..." "There are barely any officers here, and the stage doesn't even have a crowd control barrier." "I'm a reporter, not a security expert, but look!" "We don't have anything to do with that, but we do share in your uneasiness." "This place is very dangerous." "Mr. Galan agreed to come here knowing he'd be in danger?" "He didn't know this is how the situation would be." "You can't tell him?" "Are we ready?" "We have to wait for Pereda to come." "They're waiting for us." "He's coming now." "This is the situation." "As you can see, there are many people, so it'll be very hard to go in this car." "I spoke to your followers and collaborators, who said they have a pickup truck." "They'd like for you to ride in it." "It'll only be four blocks." "No, let's stay in the car." "Listen." "The collaborators are the ones who are saying that there are too many people here and they'd like to say hi to him and see him." "But, sir..." "Listen!" "We're in charge of the security." "It's fine." "Let's go." "They're waiting for us." "Don't worry." "We'll take care of your safety." "He took time out of his tight agenda to come and tell us..." "Get some rest, honey." "You too, Mom." "Tell Dad to not forget his promise of taking us to see the game." "Don't worry." "He won't forget." "Do I turn this off?" "Yeah." "The soap started already?" "Yeah, Mom." "Alright." "Long live the Colombian liberal party!" "Long live Mr. Luis Carlos Galan Sarmiento!" "Enough, enough!" "Get him down!" "We're only one block away." "Get him down!" "Fine, get him down." "We're ignoring all security protocol!" "It's not my fault!" "I wasn't told it'd be like this!" "Oh no?" "I thought you were in charge of the security here." "Yes, but things happen." "Let's go!" "Stick with me, sir." "Come on!" "Galan, the people stand with you!" "Guys." "Go to your beds." "Dad will get here later, and he's going to need to sleep." "Brush your teeth." "Goodnight." "Welcome." "How are you?" "Be very careful." "This doesn't look good." "I know." "Don't worry." "The faster we leave, the better." "You're wearing your vest?" "Of course." "Everything's under control." "Don't worry." "Don't look at me like that." "Nothing will happen to me tonight, okay?" "Let's go." "They're waiting for us." "Let him up!" "Help him." "The funeral ceremony in memory of Col. Osvaldo Quintana, who was murdered today in Medellin in the hands of gunmen belonging to the self-proclaimed group, the Extraditables, will be carried out..." "Galan, the people stand with you!" "That's enough, sir!" "Being up here is too dangerous!" "Stop!" "Let's walk." "It's only two blocks." "We can protect you." "He's right, sir." "Let him off." "No, Tomas!" "Help him there." "Let him off!" "Tomas, please!" "It's just two blocks." "Galan, the people are with you!" "He's hit!" "He's hit!" "They shot him!" "When news happens, Caracol informs." "Breaking news!" "Breaking news just in." "A shooting has broken out at Soacha's main square where the liberal party candidate" "Luis Carlos Galan Sarmiento was getting ready to give a speech." "There seem to be several people wounded." "Yes, the police department has just informed us that Dr. Luis Carlos Galan Sarmiento was wounded during the shooting in Soacha." "Sebastian... don't let me die." "I'm begging you." "Sebastian, you're wounded too." "I'm fine." "Let's go." "How is he?" "We're going to a hospital, ma'am." "This is all your fault!" "Let's go!" "Let's go!" "He was taken to the hospital." "The seriousness of his condition is still unknown." "He was not shot in the head." "He was shot twice in the stomach." "Hello?"
