"THOSE WHO IGNORE THEIR HISTORY ARE CONDEMNED TO REPEAT IT." "I need you to take care of the next mission personally." "Tell me what needs to get done." "We're going to kill Galan." "Life is too short to be thrown away, but it's thrilling when you use it to serve your country." "We are changing the conscience of the Colombian people so it becomes what they need in order to really move ahead... to acquire full consciousness of their rights... to not be a negligible and secondary nation... so no Colombian feels ashamed ever again" "when they show their nation's passport!" "Are you going for the presidency?" "Well, I'm going to win." "Why are you running for senate when you're so sure you're going to become president?" "We're doing what you could call the long walk through the institutions." "It's what we do." "For freedom!" "For justice!" "For democracy!" "For peace!" "Always forward!" "Not a single step back!" "Whatever is necessary, then let it be!" "I think your campaign is going wonderfully." "That's unarguable." "What Maruja and I are talking about is the issue of safety." "I'm sorry, but that's very complicated." "It's a miracle Alberto's alive." "Besides, the polls say you're the winner." "There's no need to take such risks." "That's great, but you're forgetting that I have to go against the most powerful leaders of liberalism." "I can't let my guard down after the fight I put up to accept the elections." "You could keep your safety and still not let your guard down." "Don't forget the attack they did on me." "That was retaliation after what happened in Congress." "That's true." "Besides, they thought they had the First House Committee and that they could legislate as they pleased." "You and Alberto got in their way." "They're not happy about that." "Those people see New Liberalism as their enemy." "Now you're the one who's in danger." "I think it's important that only a few people know your agenda." "And it's also very important to keep the times of your appearances in public completely confidential." "That's fine." "That's a good idea." "Tell him yourself." "He won't listen to me." "No, don't give her any ideas." "Maruja, it's like you don't know me." "I keep telling him the same thing every single day!" "I can't take my nagging and neither can he." "You're not nagging..." "Excuse me." "Your new bodyguards are outside." "They want to meet you." "New bodyguards?" "I wasn't informed." "I thought you knew, sir." "General Peraza decided to change us." "I was the only one he decided to keep." "Hold on." "This is ridiculous." "How are we the last people to find out about the change in your bodyguards?" "Mr. Galan, sir, ma'am... good afternoon." "It's a pleasure to meet you." "I'm Lieutenant Tomas Pereira, the new head of security." "I'm at your service and your family's." "I think that's the best decision." "It's the only option." "After getting all those calls, they have to leave now." "We'd discussed the issue several times but we hadn't made up our minds." "I think you're sure now after those threats." "That's why we decided to leave." "Mom, no one knows the newspaper better than you." "I think you should be in charge." "Nene can advise you, but I think you should be at the forefront." "We'll see about that." "What matters right now is getting you two out of here." "I spoke to your aunts in Barcelona already." "They've got a small apartment, but you'll be fine there." "As long as they're far away, being uncomfortable doesn't matter." "Cami, Mom... take good care." "We don't know how they may be able to hurt our family or the newspaper." "We'll be fine." "You two are the priority now." "Question." "Will the newspaper's column addressing drug trafficking and the Medellin cartel continue?" "Of course it will." "That's Guillermo's legacy." "Even if we're all in danger, it will continue." "Mom." "Bye, honey." "Bye." "Which of you sissies called to threaten the Canos?" "Neither one of us, boss!" "I swear on my mother that all we've been doing is intelligence work, boss." "We've got everything ready to go after these two." "See?" "That's what happens for taking so damn long!" "You've been in Bogota for days and nothing!" "And the other two!" "I haven't heard anything about that either!" "What's going on?" "Sir, that mission's about to be completed." "The thing is that he's got five different routes, but he's bound to take the right one eventually." "Yeah, keep it up!" "Keep waiting like idiots and you'll watch him get away." "If you couldn't get to the Canos, your obligation was to attack El Espectador some other way!" "Do I have to do everything for you?" "And you two as well!" "How long will it take before you young ladies can go after the judge?" "Look, boss, don't worry." "Those people will get their final judgment this week!" "Yes!" "It will not be later than this week!" "Do you understand?" "If that bastard signs and dies, we will most definitely get blamed for it!" "Sir, can you think of another way we can attack?" "Do me the huge favor of getting this through your head and try to learn it by heart." "Dynamite is the atomic bomb of the poor people." "Blow that **** up!" "Mrs. Ana Maria... what kind of protection are you specifically requesting?" "I understand your sons left the country." "Two of them, yes." "But it so happens that I have five." "Yes, I understand, but those threats were specifically directed towards Mr. Juan Guillermo and Mr. Fernando." "Yes, but since they know they can't hurt them anymore, they might come up with something else." "How can I know what that will be?" "You can't assign armored vehicles for us?" "No, ma'am." "I don't have any more right now." "What about the building for the newspaper?" "At least take care of our reporters." "Mrs. Ana Maria, the U.S. Embassy evaluated the situation and assured us it wasn't serious." "Alright." "Please." "Put yourself in my shoes." "The newspaper has not changed its editorial line." "I understand, ma'am, but..." "I'd also like for you to try to understand me." "Put yourself in my shoes." "Believe me, I am very concerned about your safety and that of the reporters." "However, to be honest, aside from assigning more officers and maybe teaching you all how to handle a gun..." "I don't see what else I could do for you." "Next question." "What is the Holy Trinity?" "Isn't the trinity the fork the Devil uses?" "I'm sorry." "My bad." "How is that funny?" "Emilio, don't be so dumb!" "That fork is the Devil's trident." "Trident!" "That's it!" "The holy trident!" "Emilio, do me a favor." "Go up to my room, get a blue book that has a cross in the front, and bring it to me so I can show you something." "Go on, honey." "You think it's fair for Emilio to have done his first communion without knowing a thing about religion?" "What's the problem?" "We did our first communion and we weren't experts in religion, right?" "Speak for yourself." "I did study." "It's called catechesis." "What's the problem, though?" "Didn't you say you wanted us to raise our son like a normal boy and that it was important for him to do his first communion?" "That's just what we did." "He did his first communion like a normal child." "What's the problem?" "You think it's normal for a child to do a first communion alone?" "Did you do your first communion alone?" "What does that matter?" "I didn't graduate with my classmates in high school, yet we're doing fine." "Don't worry about it." "Sir!" "You have a call from your wife, Will you answer please?" "Thank you." "Hello." "Hi, sweetie." "Yes, I'm about to finish." "Yes..." "No, I won't take long." "Whatever you want." "Everything you make is good." "I'll get the wine." "No, I won't take long." "I'll head out now." "I love you." "Bye." "Yellow..." "This is for what the fatty ate." "It's confirmed." "They're heading over there." "Alright, bro." "Come by whenever." "The streetlight is red." "Don't fail me, punk." "Let's pray for this miracle to happen." "Step on it, bro." "Thanks, bro." "Alright." "Let's go." "Let's do this." "Run!" "Let's go!" "So he didn't take the money?" "Nope." "I warned him, but he wouldn't budge." "You know how things are with me." "Cash or bullets." "That's a good strategy." "We should warn them before we kill them." "It goes, "Mr. President..."" "What do you think of the protests sparked by Judge Garces Bernal's murder?" "The government is committed to having justice served." "Not only will we provide security measures, but we are also working to pass a bill with radical changes to the justice system." "It's been said that Pablo Escobar was behind the homicide." "That hasn't been confirmed." "Colonel." "My condolences." "This country's getting worse by the minute, Dad." "Don't say that, Ernesto." "How can't I?" "The same thing will keep happening no matter how much they go after Escobar and the Extraditables." "They'll end up doing whatever they want." "They have too much power." "They do." "And they have too much money." "And they act with such cruelty." "That's what this battle's like." "It'll always be unequal." "Look at me, Dad." "Look at me." "I'm really worried about you." "Look, son, the only thing you should be worried about right now is school." "I'll be fine." "Look at me." "How are you so sure?" "All rise." "God, almighty Father, our faith confesses that Your son died and rose again..." "Good afternoon." "Flowers for Colonel Quintana." "Leave them here." "I'll get them to him." "I have to give them to him myself." "That's impossible." "He's in Bogota." "That doesn't matter." "I can leave them in his office." "Please let me, or I'll get in trouble." "Open the box." "Second floor." "The entrance is over there." "Thank you." "You think the decision we made regarding Luis Carlos Galan will solve the problem?" "I think so." "That rat Santorini is right." "If we let Mr. Luis Carlos Galan Sarmiento attain the presidency we'll secure our ticket to the U.S." ""We, the Extraditables, feel attacked..."" "We're leading a civilized competition for Colombia's welfare." "For liberalism's welfare." "Our only enemies are those who use terror and violence to silence Colombian citizens and to intimidate or murder important leaders." "How about that?" "Very good." "But you missed one." "Yeah, but nine out of ten isn't bad." "Yes, but if one of them makes it out alive, it'll be enough to accuse you of killing the other nine." "You're right." "So?" "Did you think about what I told you?" "I have a few things to tell you." "I'm not going to charge you $150,000." "Let's make it $270,000." "That guy's really important." "What else?" "That's it." "I have to pull a lot of strings." "I have to send spies into the security agency." "Most importantly, I have to get one of the guards on our side." "Do whatever you have to do." "Naufrago is gonna give you half of the cash now and the rest when the news comes out on the papers." "Sharpen up." "Make it ten out of ten." "Ten out of ten." "The dumb girl said, "I'm not on the list."" "So stay with the stupid ones." "She was so dumb, even her friends thought so." "Are we ready, sir?" "How was lunch, Mrs. Gloria?" "It looks good, but it looks expensive." "Alright." "Let's go." "Dad, I don't like that guy." "Don't say that." "Excuse me." "He's right." "That guy is unpleasant." "He's so nosy." "I can't stand him." "Why don't you ask to switch bodyguards?" "We already did." "Go ahead." "Topo... measure the trunk." "What's that white cable for?" "Pass it to me through this hole over here." "Here." "There it goes." "That's it." "You know what we have to do?" "We have to put dynamite in the car." "That car's a Mercedes." "It's a fine one." "It's not because it's a Mercedes but because it's bullet-proof." "We can't spare any dynamite." "We have to blow it up right next to him." "That's true." "That's it." "How's this going?" "Good." "Let me finish welding this." ""Your death is imminent." "Get out of Medellin."" "Could we please make sure we got these three faxes?" "This is nice, but change the headline." "Hey, honey." "Mrs. Ana Maria." "Yes?" "I'm sorry to ask this question, but I heard the newspaper isn't sending any money to either Fernando or Juan Guillermo." "How are they?" "I wish we could, but the newspaper is in no condition to do that." "Well, how are they?" "They're good, considering they each have three children and are stuck in two bedrooms." "A bit tight... but they're fine." "They're safe." "That's what I care about." "The joke about the bomb makes me more and more nervous." "It's a way to deal with the uneasiness." "I know." "Do you really think they can bomb us?" "I don't know." "What I am sure about is that they won't tell us when they set it up." "The guy takes the same route every day." "He wakes up bright and early every day and comes down at the same time all the way here... to the police academy." "That's why this is where we're going to set up the car bomb." "He passes by there every single day." "It's easy." "I think that's fine." "What do you think, boss?" "Pablo!" "Well, you know all I care about is killing that punk." "It's your problem how it gets done, not mine." "Don't worry, boss." "It's as good as done." "Ever since he arrived..." "What about El Espectador?" "That's taking a long time." "You're right, sir." "I'll get in touch with Kiko and Cain and take care of that." "Be careful with the dynamite." "You know those guys don't know how to handle that." "Alright." "Gonzalo..." "I need for you to include dynamite in our budget starting today." "We are now going to buy it in bulk." "I'm very worried about you." "Look, the only thing you should be worrying about right now is school." "I'll be fine." "General, you have to know that my job with the police has always come before my family." "But for the first time, I need it to be the other way around." "What do you mean, Colonel?" "I don't want my family to end up destroyed because of what I do." "I still don't understand." "Look, General," "I don't want my precaution to be mistaken with cowardice." "Is it possible for you to relieve me as Commander of the Antioquia Police?" "I can't believe you're asking me to do that." "The President and I both think you're the right person to end Escobar's madness." "General, believe me, that's been my focus since I came to this city, but..." "None of that." "The only way you'll get out of Medellin is if you catch Escobar." "Quintana." "Yes, General?" "Were you threatened?" "Yes, General." "But I also want to clarify something." "This isn't the first time I've been threatened." "It's just that something tells me that I need to be careful about it this time." "Well, that's just what you need to do." "Be careful." "We can't do anything else." "Have a good night." "Alright, guys, behave." "Please stay by your bodyguards at all times." "Juan Manuel's the one who always goes away." "That's not true." "Dad, if you go on tour on the weekend will you take me?" "I don't think you should go." "I don't know, but if I do, I'll take you." "Good morning, Mr. Galan." "Mrs. Gloria, Juan Manuel, Juan Carlos, Claudio." "Take care, son." "Stay with the bodyguards." "Let's go." "I don't know." "You know what I've been thinking?" "Thank you for coming." "No problem, sir." "It's a pleasure." "Mrs. Gloria, how's everything?" "We're very worried about everything that's going on." "Well, there's reason to be." "The situation is disturbing." "Yes, but... we actually wanted to talk about the new head of security." "I'm listening." "How can I say this?" "He doesn't seem like someone who can be trusted." "We don't like the way he gets along with the other guys." "I'm shocked." "Lieutenant Pereira hasn't said anything at all." "No, but we've noticed." "The guys don't get along with him." "They had never had a problem with anyone." "You can just feel the tension." "They can't work like that." "What can I tell you, ma'am?" "Lieutenant Pereira is very skilled." "I've known him for a very long time." "I trust him." "I understand but..." "Also, keep in mind that Mr. Pereira is very well equipped for the mission he's been assigned to." "I'd put my life on the line for him." "Well, if you say that you completely trust him..." "Absolutely, Mr. Galan." "You can trust him." "Thank you." "It's a pleasure, sir." "I'm at your service." "Mrs. Gloria." "Good day, General." "Excuse me." "Hey, Kiko, I can't figure out the boss." "Do you get paid to figure him out or to obey him?" "It's not that." "It's just that sometimes he says to go and kill someone without asking." "But other times he says to take it easy and to just send a threat." "I don't get it." "It's simple." "I'm sure the boss doesn't want to kill Dr. Galan yet." "What do you call it?" "He's merciful." "Yes." "Otherwise, like Saint Sebastian says," ""No puppet will be left with a head."" "Heads up." "There they are." "Cain!" "Godspeed." "Amen." "We have to do homework." "Bye." "Good day!" "God bless you!" "Did you know that the Lord has a very important message for you?" "And also for your friend!" "Don't move, kid." "Stay still." "I need you to send Mr. Galan a message, you hear?" "Tell your friend's dad that he either drops out of the political race and leaves the country... or he's dead." "That's alarming." "You getting to the presidency isn't in the interest of many people." "And I'm not only speaking about the mobs." "Maruja, did you already tell Luis Carlos what you spoke to General Peraza about?" "I told him very vaguely." "He insisted the attack was selective." "I mean, that it wasn't just about getting me out of the way regarding the extradition." "It's like it was a personal problem." "That's what Peraza said." "It looks like the family won't be going out anymore." "I still need you to stay here, though." "Get here at seven." "See you then." "Goodnight, Mr. Tomas." "I spoke to the President." "He offered me the embassy in Indonesia." "Well?" "You're leaving, right?" "You have to!" "What the general said is terrible!" "What upsets me is leaving you alone in your campaign." "Who's going to oversee Bogota?" "Don't worry about that." "There's a solution to that." "What matters now is your safety." "What about you?" "You don't plan on doing anything after the scary message they sent with that kid?" "You said it yourselves." "Not only do I have drug traffickers as enemies, but politicians as well." "There are people who'd be very happy if I were to drop out, but I just can't do it." "Especially not after getting all those people to trust me." "I can't." "The attack against Colonel Quintana will happen before the attack on El Espectador." "I had to change plans after the directors decided to leave the country." "I hope that happens soon." "The operation on Judge Garces went berserk." "The worst part is that he signed the indictment before he died." "Let them accuse us." "We can defend ourselves." "Or let another judge take on the case." "We'll see how it goes for him." "The deal with Galan is underway." "Speaking of which..." "I'm waiting to hear from him to see if we should carry out the operation or cancel it." "What do you mean?" "I invested an important amount of money on that." "There's no going back." "Don't worry about it." "That money was a good investment." "Let's just wait till we hear from Mr. Galan." "We'll decide if we should keep going based on what he says." "Pablo, the only way to stop that train is if Mr. Galan drops out of the race." "That's what I mean." "The only thing we have to do now is wait." "Let's just wait." "You got me doing things and then you burst out with this." "We've had to fight against the biggest problem in Colombian society." "It arrived in our country just as it arrived in over 60 countries around the world... the dark and criminal power of drug trafficking." "And since 1982, a year before Rodrigo Lara took office as Minister of Justice," "New Liberalism has been the only political force that went up against that terrible adversary of society, of the institutional organization." "If we keep this up, we won't even get four hours of sleep." "But why go to sleep?" "To keep thinking?" "The more I think about it, the more absurd I think it is." "Here we are hiding while Mom, our family, and the whole country are dealing with Escobar's madness." "We worry about our family because they're close to us, but that psycho has his eye on everybody." "On Galan also?" "Knock on wood." "Escobar won't like it if Galan becomes president." "Galan will be the president." "You think we should go back?" "It's that uncertainty that won't let me sleep." "It's harder for Escobar to do something to us while we're here in Barcelona, but..." "But he can go after someone else." "I wouldn't forgive myself." "There's Mom, Tita, Camilo." "Nicky, Nene..." "The reporters." "The newspaper." "Should we go back?" "I know this isn't what you'd like to hear, but I need to be very honest with you." "I don't think being an officer is my thing, Dad." "Why are you saying that?" "Did you have problems in the academy?" "No, nothing's happened." "We had spoken about it." "It's just that this country keeps getting crazier, and I don't think the police is a place where I can do something about it." "You're saying that because you're just starting your career." "I'm sure you see everything's difficult right now, but you will achieve great satisfaction later on." "Later on, when?" "When I become a colonel?" "Dad, I've seen the lifestyle you've had." "From one place to another, from one mission to the next..." "You're always living with the uncertainty of what Escobar might do to you." "Son, this is a stage in my life." "I'll have a different position soon." "And a different mission, which could be even more dangerous than this one." "What's all this effort for?" "You're risking your life to save others." "You know what?" "We'll talk about this later on." "But please do me a favor." "Don't make a decision yet." "Wait for everything to cool down." "We'll talk later." "I don't know, Dad." "I've thought about this whole situation already." "To be honest, I don't want to live your life." "Cadet, classes begin at six." "I don't want you yawning." "Yes, sir." "Dad, I love you." "I love you too, son." "I love you very much." "God bless you." "Bye." "Well?" "Excuse me, sir." "Alright, bro." "I left the car just down the street." "Let's go." "They're coming in two minutes." "Are you sure?" "Two minutes." "Alright, Chili." "Alright, alright." "Go for it." "Oh my God, what was that?" "Immediate response, bro!" "Bro!" "That was Quintana." "Quintana?" "That was him!" "Who did we kill?" "I don't know, bro!" "What happened, Chili?" "What am I going to do, man?" "Why do these things happen to me?" "Breaking news." "A car bomb has just exploded in Medellin." "This attack took the life of Antioquia's governor," "Antonio Roldan Betancourt." "The perpetrators of the attack are still unknown." "I can't believe your screw up." "That's incredible." "Boss... the Governor drove a Mercedes identical to the Colonel's and he passed by at the same time!" "His police escort was also identical." "Excuse yourselves." "Excuse the inexcusable." "Instead of manning up and coming here to tell me," ""Yes, we screwed up." "It was our bad." "We assume the responsibility."" "Listen to your lame excuses!" "Well, yeah, boss." "We screwed up big time and we apologize." "We're sorry, sir." "Go and say that to the widow." "Go tell her, "Ma'am, how are you?" "I'm here to apologize about the bomb we detonated." "It wasn't our intention to kill your husband."" "Go tell her." "And we have the same damn problem in Bogota, right?" "They're not doing anything!" "Topo's on his way to Bogota, boss." "He's going to take care of that with Kiko and Cain." "Don't give me that!" "Excuse me!" "When will that be?" "On El Espectador's 200th anniversary?" "Will it happen then?" "I'm going to call Topo so he can inform me..." "Listen to me, Chili." "Your only mission in life is to kill that colonel!" "If you can't do it, let me know." "I'll replace you with someone else." "That's it." "Then you can go rest." "Damn it."
