"THOSE WHO IGNORE THEIR HISTORY ARE CONDEMNED TO REPEAT IT." "The B12 team left with the Colonel too, and they ended up on the same boat." "You'll have to go tomorrow too." "Lt. Pineda." "I thought you..." "You thought I was on my way to catch Chili?" "Come with me." "What do you mean, Major?" ""What do you mean?"" "You're also a coward?" "You're a snitch." "Admit it!" "Instead of being on our side, you're with those thugs." "You filthy pig!" "I don't know what you're talking about." "You think I'm stupid?" "Should I remind you?" "Two hundred of our men have died because of people like you." "Colonel Quintana died because of people like you." "Just like you want to sell out Col. Pavon." "Damn snitch." "Damn snitch!" "Calm down, sir." "Calm down." "Calm down!" "Calm down, sir!" "Let me go." "Calm down." "You may leave, Urrea." "Yes, sir." "You're making a big mistake, Colonel." "You're still hanging on to that?" "Major Aguirre insists I'm a traitor." "I don't know why." "Have some dignity." "Be a man, Pineda." "I don't know what's going on." "Go ahead." "What's up, coz." "Don't tell me the job's done, and I just haven't heard." "Or do you have some other information?" "An Elite group's leaving right now to capture you." "So you're not a traitor?" "They threatened me." "If I didn't do what they asked, they were going to kill my wife and daughters." "Colonel, do me a favor..." "Leave me alone with this snitch." "Pineda, you have two options..." "Dig yourself deeper into the mess you're in... or you keep telling lies." "I can leave you here with Major Aguirre so you can think about it... or you can be a man, show us you have a backbone, and tell us everything you know." "We're here with Diego Pizano," "Presidential Candidate for the Libertarian Party who joins us this morning." "Commander Pizano, you fought in the mountains for years." "Do you feel remorse over so many deaths?" "Basir, during guerrilla warfare," "I often found myself in the heart of a battle." "I won't lie to you..." "I had a gun and pulled the trigger." "Death may be present, but it's far." "You defend yourself, then attack, and there are casualties." "You're fighting for your principles, for a political goal, for a dream... a dream that belongs to us and to our people." "In those instances, we experience that passion which somehow makes the violence bearable." "Commander Pizano..." "Come on, bro." "Why do you want to become President?" "I want to be President because I want to give the country a purpose." "Colombia doesn't have objectives right now." "That's why we've been stuck in class struggles for years, and in the midst of spiraling violence." "If my enemies let me, and I get elected, one of my objectives will be to achieve peace." "Basir, I'd love to stay longer, but I have a flight to catch." "Do you think someone, who's security is at risk, should announce that he's going on a trip?" "We can't work like that." "Tell him not to board the plane through the gate." "Tell him not to enter the airport." "Excuse me, sir." "You dropped this." "No, buddy, that's not mine." "I just saw you drop it." "Check your bags, and you'll see it's yours." "Thank you so much, but that's not mine." "Thanks." "Come on, talk!" "It was just another day in the neighborhood." "A guy approached me to threaten me." "Who was it?" "He said he was with the Medellin Cartel and that if I didn't cooperate, they'd kill my family." "What kind of cooperation?" "If you help me kill the Colonel, and you hand him to me, I won't kill your family... starting with your daughters." "Change that face, bro." "Relax." "I'll talk to you later." "Now you know." "I had to feed them information." "Information?" "Yes, Colonel." "It's what I've been doing all this time." "Thank God it's been just that... just relaying information." "Why did Chili ask you to meet him in Sabaneta Square?" "Why did you have to meet in person when you could've given him information over the phone?" "He wanted to talk to me." "After the scuffle, did you finally meet?" "Yes, Colonel." "What did that guy want?" "What did you he tell you?" "!" "He wanted..." "He wanted me to kill you, Colonel." "You, sir." "Stand up!" "Come with us." "Me?" "Yes, you." "What's your destination?" "Barranquilla." "Let me see your boarding pass." "Ricardo Benavides." "Valencia." "Let me see your ID, Mr. Ricardo." "Search him." "Have a nice flight, Mr. Ricardo." "Thanks." "Another letter for your wife?" "Don't distract me, bro." "I'm sorry." "Your interview was very good." "It was really good." "Not only did you spell out our political goals, but you showed your human qualities, and people really like that." "They really do." "Okay, I'll shut up now." "I won't interrupt anymore." "Very good..." "Really good." "What will happen to me?" "I know I'll be court-martialed, but what about my family?" "Shut up!" "You'll only talk when your superiors let you!" "Colonel..." "We could use him to lead us to Chili." "You'll arrange a meeting with Chili." "No, Colonel." "When he realizes I blew my cover, he'll kill my family." "I need protection!" "That won't happen." "Chili won't find out anything." "So what's up, bro?" "Are we in good terms?" "Better than good, Pedro." "Listen, Pablo." "I think we can be honest with each other." "If you didn't like what I said, just tell me so." "We're on your side no matter what." "I'll be very honest with you, Pedro." "You've not only been my best partners." "You're my friends." "I see you as members of my family." "I couldn't admonish you over your decision." "You're only protecting yourselves and your families." "Believe me, I know where you're coming from." "Thank you so much." "Thank you, Pablo." "This is getting really bad." "Always on the run and hiding, that's not life, Pablo." "I know that, Julio." "Believe me." "I wish you the best in your negotiations with the government." "I'd like to thank you once again." "Anyway, our negotiation won't happen right away." "It'll take some time." "One thing, though, German." "You know that my war goes on." "We do need to keep getting your maintenance fee." "Don't worry about that, bro." "Like I said, we're still partners..." "As long as you secure a non-extradition order, it's all good." "Don't worry." "If your negotiations with the government fall through, this will always be your home, and you're always welcome." "Thank you again." "Thank you." "Nice to see you." "Take care." "Thanks, bro." "Here's a hug, bro." "You're a tough guy." "You're a warrior." "Keep it up." "Thanks, Pablo." "You got it, bro." "Good luck." "Thanks, bro." "Good luck." "When are you flying?" "We leave for Cartagena in two days." "Well..." "Have a good one in Barranquilla." "Don't forget..." "Why should I give you advice?" "You're the expert in politics." "Do me a favor." "Give this to my sister." "Sure." "What about my letter?" "You didn't write me any letters?" "Since you wouldn't talk to me on the way here..." "It's better to talk to you face to face, even if I can't understand you at all." "Take care of yourself until we get there, okay?" "Don't worry." "I know how to take care of myself." "I don't." "You know what you have to say?" "Yeah, Colonel." "That I need to talk to him right away, and we have to meet." "Don't tell him that you need to meet." "Give him an exact location... the entrance to the bullring." "What if the operation doesn't work and you don't catch him?" "I'll still be a snitch to his buddies." "You really care about that?" "After everything you've admitted?" "Don't be so shameless." "Not only were you working for the enemy, you also wanted to kill me!" "I wasn't going to do it." "I swear, Colonel." "Sure you were!" "I saw you!" "Who knows how many other cops died because of you." "So do as we say, Pineda." "I'm warning you!" "Fine." "I just want protection for my kids and wife." "I just want protection." "That's all." "Do what you have to do... and I'll get them protection myself." "For my entire family?" "For anyone you want!" "We're ready." "What's up, bro?" "What is it?" "Don't tell me they're coming after me again." "No, that's not it." "Then?" "Tell me." "I don't have all day." "Watch out!" "They already know I'm working with you..." "What are you doing?" "!" "Move it, bro." "We'll fall behind." "Come here!" "Move!" "Is everything okay?" "It's all clear." "You can go ahead and board the plane." "Okay, sir." "Thanks." "Hi, how are you?" "Thank you." "Hello." "How are you?" "Hello." "How's it going?" "Commander." "How are you?" "Gentlemen..." "How are you?" "Thank you so much." "Everything's fine, sir." "Thanks." "Don't call me "sir."" "Major, please understand." "I can't put my family in danger." "Shut up!" "Or I'll silence you myself!" "Even if the Colonel is here, I swear it!" "Please, Colonel." "They'll kill my daughters, my family." "If you had talked to a superior when this whole thing started, you wouldn't have risked your wife's and daughters' lives by getting involved with criminals, Pineda." "What do you mean it fell through, Chili?" "He called to try to set me up, but then he decided to squeal and said he'd been caught." "Be very careful, Chili." "You can end up getting caught becasue of morons like that." "Sure thing, boss." "I'll take all needed measures." "I wanted to mention that the Col. Pavon job is a little behind." "Okay." "Sometimes in life, you have to heed destiny's warnings." "If destiny tells us that Pavon needs to stay alive, then we'll leave him alone." "Yeah, boss." "You got that right." "This is what we'll do, Chili." "Go to Bogota." "Hire a couple of guys and put a car bomb in the building where the Colonel's family lives." "A car bomb, boss?" "I need you to be very careful, though." "I want you to make sure that car bomb won't explode." "Sure thing, boss." "Don't kill me!" "The candidate was victim of an attack." "Requesting permission to land at El Dorado." "Don't kill me." "Today they asked me why I wanted to be president." "For most of my life," "I've witnessed the social inequalities in Colombia." "I've seen the rich amassing power for their benefit while they disregard the rest." "That's why we got up in arms to fight for social change, but also to gain structural and political change." "But that's why we turned over our arms to the government because we realized to achieve equality, change, and the well-being our people need, it was time to fight for it at the polls, and not in the mountains." "That's why I want to be president today, and I won't die until I accomplish it." "And you'll be by my side to fulfill this dream." "Hurry up!" "Breaking news..." "Presidential candidate Diego Pizano, who was on the air with us less than an hour ago, was victim of an attack." "On a plane to Barranquilla, a hit man shot him with a machine gun." "The hit man was killed by the bodyguards." "It appears Pizano is in critical condition." "He's at the police hospital right now." "What happened?" "What happened?" "We did everything we could." "My brother..." "What's your opinion?" "The message is quite clear, and the figure is more than enough." "It can't be that another candidate has fallen nor that we, as a country, can't stop these atrocities." "It's time our citizens helped and don't let us fight alone." "We agree, Mr. President." "I'm sure this will be very useful." "The sooner, the better." "Make sure it hits the airwaves immediately." "Will do, Mr. President." "Wanted:" "Pablo Escobar." "Reward: 2.7 billion pesos." "For Gonzalo Gaviria, Alberto Escobar, a.k.a. Peluche," "Pedro Motoa, German Motoa, and Julio Motoa." "One billion pesos for each one of them." "And for each of these fugitives, the amount of one hundred million pesos:" "A.k.a. Marino," "A.k.a. Chili," "A.k.a. Topo," "A.k.a. Kiko..." "Call toll free from any city at 9800-10-600." "Discretion is guaranteed." "How about that?" "We're offering two thousand dollars per cop, and these jerks are offering one billion pesos for us?" "The Government's trying to turn people against us for money." "Buitre and Candonga weren't exposed like the rest of us." "And they only know your nicknames, with those photos, nobody will recognize you." "I hope so." "This is all because of those paramilitary morons." "They're killing candidates and now the government's putting a tag on our heads." "What will we do?" "What do you mean, Mr. Gonzalo?" "Keep fighting." "Besides..." "Sorry, but I doubt anybody would be stupid enough to turn you in for that money." "They may spare Pablo, but what about Gonzalo and me?" "Or for you guys?" "No, this is getting really complicated." "What are we going to do, guys?" "Keep hiding." "Comrades, today we've shown an exemplary conduct." "What they did to Commander Pizano is a barbaric act that we won't retaliate with more violence." "On the contrary, we'll show them we can mourn our pain peacefully." "That's how Pizano would have liked it." "What about the elections?" "Who's going to be the candidate for our movement?" "The commanders will have to decide that." "Boss." "I'll be right back." "How did it go?" "Good." "Working hard." "The boss won't let me rest for a minute." "Let me borrow your phone." "Absolutely not." "You can't." "In fact, do me a favor." "Burn it, soak it in water, do whatever you want, boil it... but don't use it." "It's been tapped." "Alright." "Don't use it." "It's all good." "Watch it." "Do me a favor." "What?" "Pack my bags." "I'm going away." "Again?" "For how long?" "I don't know." "A week." "Do it." "Chili's apartment is nice." "No way, bro." "I liked the house better." "Listen, don't you have money?" "If you want an apartment, buy yourself one." "No, bro." "First thing's first." "Are you broke?" "We have to build the pastor's temple." "Then, a house for my old lady." "Yeah." "With a jacuzzi!" "With jacuzzi." "Listen to you." "Go for it, bro." "Here you go." "Thanks." "I've had it here, Chili." "I can't go out." "I can't watch TV because we don't have one." "You won't even let me make one phone call..." "If you were going to locked me up here," "I would've stayed home." "That makes two of us." "I tired of this damn life too." "All this money and I can't even spend it... and you're stuck here." "Maybe I should leave." "I don't know..." "Take a trip somewhere else." "Let's go to Miami." "Sure, right away." "I'll ask the boss for a week off." "As soon as I come back from Bogota, we'll go to the hot springs." "Let's do it." "You like the idea?" "Let's do it." "You look very pretty." "Stay like that." "Locked up in here?" "Lock yourself in the fridge so you don't spoil." "Watch it." "Goodbye." "Later." "May the Virgin protect you." "Amen." "Poor thing." "She spent years by my brother's side." "With him in his guerrilla battle, and when they relinquished their weapons." "And what for?" "To end up alone?" "What about the children?" "Their children?" "Your nieces and nephews... this was their time to be celebrating life, now that he was entering a life of lawfulness." "Exactly." "Exactly." "So much struggle and for nothing." "Not for nothing." "Commander Pizano's death need not be in vain." "The best way to honor his memory is by staying on the road to peace that he initiated himself." "I'd honestly prefer he be back at war, but alive." "I understand your pain." "I'm hurt, too." "I'm always full of rage." "But the Liberation Movement is a political force nowadays." "It's regulated by democracy and nonviolent." "It's a violence that's against us." "It's just not fair that someone, who leaves the trenches and lays down his weapons to fight unarmed, is gunned down this way." "It's just not fair." "One day divine or human justice will punish the paramilitaries who did this to Commander Pizano." "One day but not today." "We saw it as a good chance for us to get that money." "That's why we told that man we'd help him." "What man?" "You have to give the police a name after all the harm you've done." "I don't want to give a name, Grandma." "I don't want to hurt you all." "Why didn't Leonel tell me anything?" "I'm his father." "We're so damn stupid." "Why do we let people fool us?" "That's why Leonel's dead." "And all for money we didn't even get." "P.S. As I write this, Marcos is complaining that I'm not paying attention to what he's saying." "Quit distracting me." "Alright." "I won't interrupt anymore." "Tell him that the next time we meet" "I promise I'll be the silent one." "Marco is the man I want to listen to for the rest of my life." "I'm telling you to look out the window, ma'am." "Yes?" "See that car that's across the street?" "I think it's a car bomb." "Kids, go to your room right now!" "Hello?" "Be very careful, ma'am." "So we're here to scare some lady?" "It's the boss' orders." "No way." "Couldn't you have chosen an uglier cap?" "What is it, son?" "It's Mom." "We're all okay, honey." "Don't worry." "Are you sure you and the kids are alright?" "It was just a scare." "How'd you know there was a car bomb?" "I don't know." "I got a call at home from a man who called to warn me." "I don't know, he could've been a terrorist." "I'm leaving for Bogota right now." "I'm not going to lie to you." "The situation the country is in is very grave." "We're living in turbulent and violent times." "Three presidential candidates have been killed in less than a year." "More than 250 policemen in Medellin have been murdered so far." "The family of the commander of the Elite Forces was threatened with a car bomb." "Fortunately, nothing happened." "What are we going to do about this, Mr. President?" "Today, all Colombians are afraid to leave their homes." "I understand them." "That's why I came to speak to you." "So all your listeners hear my plea and provide us with information that will lead us to all the members of the Medellin Cartel." "There's one billion pesos for each one." "Please... report them and inform us." "Don't let a few men destroy the entire nation's peace and tranquility." "National Police." "Good afternoon." "I know where Escobar is." "I just saw him." "Tell me where." "He just passed by in front of a shopping mall." "I saw Peluche." "Yes, I recognized him." "He's at a highway restaurant having a beer." "I swear." "Pablo Escobar." "All three of them." "But tell me how I get my reward." "Now or he'll get away." "I'm positive, Officer." "I know it was Pablo Escobar." "Hurry." "Quickly so you can capture him." "Yes, sir." "Goodbye." "Done, sir." "What they're going to get is a lot of lead." "Thanks." "You're welcome, sir." "Have some cheese." "I ate already, boss." "Hold on... slowly." "I'm glad you're okay." "Thank God nothing happened to you." "Go pack." "Quickly, we've no time." "Go on." "Dad..." "Honey, tell me later." "Hurry and go pack." "We're leaving." "Please." "Oh honey, we miss you here." "I miss you all, too." "I miss you all, but..." "I have a commitment." "Hire someone to help you pack." "General Ulloa's given us a house at the academy." "Couldn't we go to one in Medellin?" "Elena, honey..." "I've already said no." "Let it go." "Who could it be?" "I'll go check." "Colonel Andrade." "How did you know I was here?" "What a surprise." "Colonel Pavon, I'm sorry to bother you, but I must speak with you." "The phones are ringing off the hook." "The whole world is calling in claiming to know where Pablo Escobar or his hit men are!" "If not the hit men, then his brother or cousin!" "A local police squad was sent out, and they were ambushed when they got there." "Please try to remain calm, Major." "Calm?" "What?" "Those guys are unpredictable!" "They don't know how to fight." "Let's shoot it out but face to face!" "What about that telephone we're tapping?" "Hasn't it rung again since that snitch spoke to Chili?" "We've been checking the frequencies, sir, but I doubt they're using those devices anymore." "Damn it!" "Hey, baby." "What are you up to?" "Who's this?" "Who else?" "Mireyita." "How many times have I told you not to call me here?" "It's Wednesday... aren't you going to the pool hall?" "I'm leaving now." "Alright, I'll call you." "543-2817." "That's the only number you can call me at." "Got it?" "Alright." "See you in half an hour." "543-2817." "We've got him, damn it!" "Yes, Major."
