"THOSE WHO IGNORE THEIR HISTORY ARE CONDEMNED TO REPEAT IT." "What's up, Aurora?" "Hi, Mr. Pablo." "Did you take your clothes off?" "Yes, sir." "Turn around." "What happened?" "Come on!" "Damn this car!" "What happened, Marino?" "Hold on." "Wait right there." "This again!" "What happened?" "Come here and help me a second." "Can't I stay in here?" "It's hot out there." "Help me or else we'll be stuck here all day." "Come here." "It's real easy." "What is it?" "See this cable here?" "The red one?" "Hold it tight." "Hold it while I start the car." "I have a question." "Why didn't we wait for Aurora?" "If we came together we should leave together." "Don't worry." "We'll pick her up soon." "Hold that cable tight." "Yes!" "We should listen to Pablo Escobar." "If we stay here, they'll kill us." "Son, you know this is the best place to defend ourselves from an attack." "No, sir." "At this point," "Naufrago's with those people already." "They're going to kill us." "But if we leave, they'll keep following us!" "Listen, Dad..." "Shut up!" "Captain, is this the highway between Tolu and Coveñas?" "Yes, sir." "It is." "I don't see anything." "Quit playing games!" "Stop wasting our time." "Watch it if you know what's good for you." "There it is." "The one with the huge parking lot." "The one with the brown roof." "The one on the right?" "That one!" "They've found us!" "Come on!" "Let's show them what the Ramirezes are really about!" "Damn!" "We're all dead if you don't start shooting better!" "What kinds of weapons do they have in that warehouse?" "Assault rifles." "Don't worry." "We've got them!" "You two, let's give them all we've got!" "Cover them!" "We're going out the back!" "What do we do, Colonel?" "Smokescreen, Aguirre!" "Let's go!" "Careful!" "We need Mariachi alive so we can question him!" "Get in there!" "Let's go!" "Come outside, dammit!" "I've got him!" "Open the door!" "They're leaving in a truck!" "What do we do, Colonel?" "Do you think Mariachi's in that truck?" "I couldn't see him." "I don't know." "I think we should stay." "They want us to follow that truck." "Captain, order the troops on the ground to engage." "We're following that truck." "Yes, Colonel!" "Come in." "Come in." "The Colonel has ordered you to engage..." "Everything's all set." "Great." "Thanks very much, Patricia." "What's up, Fernando?" "Which one?" "This one." "That's the one." "Why?" "What's going on, Juan?" "How'd it go at the prison?" "Galan's alleged killer had an incredible story." "I think that man's innocent." "I don't think that kind of person could kill anybody." "Well, any information regarding that will have to wait." "Why?" "We have to focus on what's going on." "Find out all you can about Gustavo Ramirez aka El Mariachi." "How important is he to the Medellin Cartel?" "Was he captured, and I haven't been told?" "Looks like the Elite forces have him surrounded in a town near the coast." "So we've got to move." "Yes." "Let's go, guys." "Great." "Keep us up to speed." "What is it?" "He's totally surrounded." "He'll be captured at any moment." "Really?" "He's going to be captured?" "Or killed." "He won't get away this time." "Do you know what this means?" "Of course I do, Mr. President." "We'd be restoring the people's faith in their government and in their police." "We'd be sending the message that we're the ones running things, not those outlaws." "And that would eliminate any need for negotiation." "What have we heard from Mariachi?" "Nothing." "Mariachi hasn't called back." "We shouldn't try to contact him, or they might find us." "Look, it's a delicate situation." "That changes our outlook entirely." "Completely." "We can't even think of the possibility of negotiating a solution with the national government while we're where we are because of them." "Maybe Mariachi." "We're well protected here." "It's just like him." "So damn stubborn." "How many times did we tell him?" "Plenty." "We said, "Don't go to Cartagena."" "Lots of times." "Just like you and your nonsense with Buga." "Same s***!" "Don't f*** with me!" "I'm here, aren't I?" "I listened to you!" "Let's forget about that." "It's in the past." "They would've grabbed him on the ranch, in Cartagena, or anywhere else." "He had informants in his crew!" "That damn snitch, Naufrago." "He acted like his best friend and stabbed Mariachi in the back." "Do we know for sure he was the rat?" "Totally." "He's a filthy rat." "Hopefully Mariachi makes it out." "He's much too big a prize for the government to capture." "We set off three bombs, and they respond by capturing one of the Medellin Cartel bosses." "Can you imagine the headlines, Pablo?" "And the negotiation's gone to hell." "Completely." "One can't sit down to negotiate if one of the sides hasn't completely surrendered." "In this case, we're the ones getting screwed by the government." "If this is how it is, we'll have to return to our original positions." "Which is what?" "To attack them." "Bombs, murders, kidnappings, torture." "Whatever you can think of!" "Wait, Chili!" "Go ahead!" "Move!" "One..." "Two..." "Three." "What's up, guys?" "She was little but heavy, right?" "We just fed the animals." "I hated having to do this." "Yeah." "Well, let's get back." "The boss needs us all." "All of us?" "Who?" "Let's go." "All of us, bro." "Go on." "Chili, what's it this time?" "A body or a bomb?" "This is the national police!" "Stop the vehicle, or we'll have to open fire!" "They're breathing down our necks." "They sure are!" "They're right on top of us." "So they see where we're going." "I repeat." "Stop the vehicle, or we'll shoot." "Don't worry." "Everything will be fine." "I don't want you taken to some American prison." "Dear God, don't even say that!" "I'd rather die than end up like Marcos Herber with all those gringos around me!" "Colonel, please allow me to neutralize them." "I said no, Aguirre!" "We need Mariachi alive!" "I'm going to open fire." "No!" "Hold it!" "Don't open fire." "They haven't killed us because we haven't attacked them." "I have them in my sights!" "No, Aguirre!" "We have to do something." "Yes we do." "Know what?" "I'm going to find a plantain crop to drive through... some dense vegetation in which to hide." "Give me your hat." "Grab the hat, boys." "You know what to do." "Colonel, they've stopped!" "Naufrago, which of the two is it?" "Which of the two is your boss?" "I don't know." "I don't think it's neither." "Colonel, let me fix this problem." "I'll take them both out, and we'll continue following the truck." "No, Aguirre!" "Captain, follow that truck!" "Yes, Colonel!" "Step on it, Dad." "This is your last warning." "This is the national police." "Stop the vehicle, or we'll have to open fire." "What are you doing, Aguirre?" "You warned them." "These were just warning shots." "The order wasn't meant for you!" "Captain, follow the truck." "We're running out of fuel!" "Follow that truck!" "It's an order!" "Yes, sir!" "Let's go this way." "Whatever you say, Dad." "Colonel, I've got them in my sights." "Two squeezes of the trigger, and we're done!" "Negative, Aguirre!" "You are not authorized!" "We're giving them a chance to escape!" "No one's escaping." "We don't know which one is Mariachi." "We're not killing them all!" "Our situation is very delicate right now." "Right now, dark forces are trying to attack us, attack the organization." "The one we've dubbed "The Extraditables."" "Are we in danger here?" "Want me to organize a retreat?" "No." "We're not in danger right now, guys, but unfortunately, Mariachi is." "Our sources tell us the police have Mariachi surrounded in the state of Sucre." "And all because of a snitch." "The unimaginable occurred." "Mariachi's best friend, companion, and follower betrayed him." "He turned and sold him out to the Elite forces." "They've stopped!" "Permission to open fire before they escape!" "Negative!" "Go, Dad!" "Go on!" "There they are, sir!" "That's his son, and the other one's Mariachi!" "Are you completely sure, Naufrago?" "I'm sure!" "Run, son!" "They're coming!" "Colonel, we've been hit." "We're losing fuel." "We don't have much time." "Let's go!" "So we hope we don't have a snitch in this organization." "Watch yourselves." "Watch ourselves?" "All we do is stick our necks out for this organization." "For you and for us." "There's no snitch here." "Watch your tone!" "This is a meeting." "Sorry, boss." "What Topo's trying to say is you can look any of us here in the eye and say," ""I trust you."" "I know that." "And I appreciate it." "I appreciate your loyalty, your commitment, and how good you do your job." "Especially now that we're considering starting something different." "What are we going to start doing?" "What should be done to all rats..." "Crush them, right Boss?" "Exactly!" "We can't let that rat talk." "We have to be strategic and smart." "We have to have foresight and be completely ready in case things with our friend, Mariachi, end badly." "Colonel, this is an emergency." "We need to land." "Hold on!" "We're right here!" "Is that all you've got?" "Federico!" "You bastards!" "Fire!" "We got him, Colonel!" "You may land, Captain." "Yes, sir." "We're grateful to all of you." "You're key to the organization's success." "Thanks to your work, we're in this current position, a privileged position, from which we can finally negotiate with the national government." "But be careful." "It's a vulnerable position as well." "It's not secure." "Everything depends on the way things turn out with respect to the problem Mariachi's in." "So then are we going to have to..." "We're going to wait." "We'll act according to how things turn out." "How will we do that, boss?" "More car bombs?" "Just tell us." "We're going to push the only democracy possible in this country." "We're going to democratize death!" "From here on out, not only will the poor and the needy die, but we'll go after the rich and powerful as well... everyone equally." "We did it!" "We finally did it." "I'm proud of you, Mr. President." "The entire country is proud of you and the military forces." "Thank you." "Attention." "Sources within the police have just informed us that minutes ago, the Elite force under the command of Col. Martin Pavon, killed drug trafficker Gustavo Ramirez, aka El Mariachi." "Long live, Colombia!" "After the death of Fabio Urrea, Pablo Escobar's brother-in-law, this is the biggest blow the government's struck in the war on drugs." "El Mariachi was one of the heads of the group that had dubbed itself "The Extraditables."" "Although this information has been confirmed, the police will examine the fingerprints to remove any doubt." "Along with El Mariachi, his son Federico Ramirez was also killed along with the men who comprised his personal security." "The Elite force's objective now is centered on Pablo Escobar and Pedro Motoa, who continue running the group of drug traffickers and terrorists known as the Medellin Cartel." "Naufrago's going to pay for this." "I can't believe Mariachi's dead." "The cops are lying." "They're manipulating information." "I'm certain Mariachi killed himself." "When he saw himself surrounded, he chose suicide like a man instead of being taken like a circus animal, extradited to the U.S." "First Fabio and now Mariachi!" "Relax, Pedrito." "You have no idea what they're in for." "Wait and see." "Let's calm down and think about things." "We can talk later when things have cooled down." "What are we going to talk about later?" "That piece of crap, Naufrago, better be trying to find a place to hide." "When I get my hands on him, I'm going to tear him apart." "He must be under police protection." "What's this damn government thinking?" "That the Medellin Cartel is just some fools who aren't going to do anything?" "That we're some losers?" "Screw them!" "If they think they'll diminish us, they've got another thing coming!" "That won't happen." "I've already got men awaiting orders." "I need to make that list." "I need your help." "Calm down, Pablo." "You're not thinking clearly right now." "Let's wait till after December when we've been with our families." "In January we'll..." "January?" "Now!" "Now, Pedro!" "I need your help making that list." "I'll tell you this." "Who's going to go down?" "Executives, businessman, the rich from birth..." "Everybody!" "We're going to kidnap everyone and give them something to celebrate!" "Marino!" "Marino!" "Good evening." "We have very important news to share with you." "The Government has killed one of the top criminals operating at this moment." "Hey, Marino... did the boss say what we need to do?" "He said to be ready, bro." "He's talking to Mr. Pedro." "Let's wait." "What happened to Mariachi is awful." "It really sucks." "Poor old guy." "May he rest in peace." "They killed one of the bosses." "Damn whoever betrays the boss." "Who's going to betray him?" "Come on, Buitre." "How can you say that?" "We've been working with him since we were young." "Our loyalty, our friendship is what sets us apart." "We've always been a family, haven't we?" "Our boss opened his heart to us." "He considers us part of his family." "We've always been rewarded generously." "How could we betray him?" "Let's make a pact to stay loyal to him till we die." "Cain, get your Bible." "Let's do it with the Word of the Lord." "Do it." "Loyal to the boss" "Till the day we die!" "Okay, gentlemen." "We're all set." "Say the word, Mr. Pablo." "Here's the list." "Seventeen people." "The idea was to have 20, but we're short on time." "What's the deal with this list?" "Do we clip them?" "No way, Kiko." "In this case, death won't be the solution but threats will." "The Sword of Damocles will hang from the necks of 17 innocent souls who were lucky to be born into money, but who'll also be blessed by dying by the cold blade of a machete." "A death that, in this instance, won't be up to God, but up to me, instead." "Let's go." "Good night, boss." "Let's get to work." "We're out of here." "Let's get to work." "Grab that beast." "Give it to Daniela." "It's a gift from Uncle Mariachi." "Thanks a lot, Mariachi." "Done." "I'm taking it." "Thank you very much." "Thank you." "Thanks." "What's up, bro?" "You heard about that dude's death?" "That's heavy." "...headed by Colonel Martin Pavon has just killed drug trafficker Gustavo Ramirez, alias El Mariachi." "Next to the death of Fabio Urrea," "Pablo Escobar's brother-in-law, this is the biggest blow the Government has given to drug trafficking." "Wasn't that what you wanted?" "That we protect you?" "Listen, Colonel..." "Pablo has infiltrated you beyond belief." "I'm better off taking care of my own protection." "We can change your identity, get you asylum abroad." "One thing is for sure." "I'm not staying in Colombia." "One thing, though..." "Don't worry about my identity." "As long as Pablo is alive, he'll never forget me." "Why are you sure that he knows you helped me?" "Because I'm alive, Colonel." "If that's what you want... goodbye." "Don't take it the wrong way, but if I shake your hand," "I'll feel worse than I already feel." "You think being a snitch is something to be proud of?" "You were no snitch." "You helped our country." "Yeah, but I also hurt myself really badly." "Naufrago..." "You had no other choice but to help us." "Always keep that in mind." "We did it, Manuelito." "We got rid of one of them." "No way, man." "We lost an informant." "Gustavo Ramirez is dead." "We no longer need informants." "No, Gildardo." "We killed the goose with the golden eggs." "We had a man infiltrated in the Medellin Cartel." "Now we have nothing." "The Medellin Cartel's not the same without their second top man." "But the very top man is three times more important and dangerous than the other ones, and we have no information on him whatsoever." "That's like a chess game." "Sometimes you sacrifice a bishop and a rook to get the queen." "That's what we did." "Make no mistake." "This is no chess game." "That's how you have to look at it, Manuelito." "It's all tactics and strategies." "Pablo Escobar is the enemy... we have to do whatever it takes to defeat him and help our allies." "Listen, Gildardo..." "Let's think about several issues." "First, how will Escobar respond to this?" "Secondly, if General Peraza asks us to help him, what are we going to do?" "Lastly, when they finish off the Medellin Cartel, who are they going to go after next?" "Who?" "Let that nutcase go all out on everybody." "You and I will reap the benefits of this war, my friend." "What's going on?" "Freeze!" "Get out!" "Let's go, ma'am!" "Put your head down!" "Put your head down!" "Don't look at us!" "Let's go!" "Heads down!" "Let's go!" "Don't move!" "The body of Christ..." "Are you Blanca Leonor?" "Yes, who are you?" "Hi!" "How are you?" "Who are you?" "What's going on?" "Help!" "What are you going to do?" "Good afternoon." "Please stand up and come with us." "After the national government surprised the country with the death of the drug trafficker Gustavo Ramirez, there is bad news once again." "In the midst of the holiday season and without warning, 16 people were kidnapped in the city of Medellin." "The residents of Antioquia's capital live in fear and uncertainty due to those who call themselves "The Extraditables."" "The authorities attribute these acts to them in retaliation for the death of El Mariachi." "Among the kidnapped, it seems, is a relative of an important government official." "How's it possible that 16 people are kidnapped in broad daylight in the second largest city in Colombia, and we do nothing?" "Mr. President, we can't forget how powerful the Medellin Cartel is, how many people they have, how well armed they are." "So they're more powerful than us?" "Are you trying to say the police are incapable of defending us?" "No." "I'm not saying that." "What I'm saying is they can take us on because of how powerful they are." "I understand your anger and frustration, Mr. President." "General Ulloa is trying to explain that determining when and where the Medellin Cartel will strike, such as when they set off bombs, is very difficult." "It's practically impossible." "I want Col. Pavon and the entire Antioquia police force searching for those people." "Yes, sir." "Can we increase our manpower in Medellin?" "We can, but we'd have to put other cities at risk." "Dr." "Bedoya." "Mr." "President." "The total number of people kidnapped isn't 16." "It's 17." "My son is among them." "Let me talk to your boss." "Listen to me." "Let me talk to your boss." "Come on!" "At least deliver a message to him!" "Why am I here?" "What have I done?" "Listen to me!" "Hey!" "I thought we'd keep everyone together on a nearby farm, so we can keep an eye on all of them." "No doubt about it, Pablo." "The boys did a great job with that." "It turned out perfectly." "It's about time." "They're here." "Gentlemen." "What's up, Miguel?" "Hi." "How are you Pablo?" "Pedro?" "Need anything else, sir?" "Go see what Chili's up to and if he needs anything." "Yes, sir." "Excuse me." "I'm real sorry about Mr. Gustavo." "He was a brave man." "Very helpful when it came to the Self-Defense Forces, but he was in bad company, which gave him away." "What more can I say?" "You never know who might end up betraying you." "One day it could be your workers, and the next it could be your friends." "I think I've been a serious man of my word, a real man... in case you're referring to me, that is." "No, how could you think that?" "We know that." "That's why we called you." "So what can I do for you?" "Mariachi's death wasn't just an emotional blow for us." "It was a structural blow to the organization." "El Mariachi was very important to us." "He had fruit, labs, and an army always at our disposal." "We can't lose that." "We've been thinking that keeping in mind how close we are," "I'd like to strengthen our bonds of friendship, as well as our work bonds." "We're formally inviting you to join the Medellin Cartel." "Miguel, basically what we want is for you to turn over the Self-Defense Forces to your brother and work with us, closer to us." "I'm honored... but why?" "In spite of our different ideals, as I lean towards the left, while you're ultra right-wing, none of us can deny that your advice and counsel have been not only important but effective and significant." "They've been very important to us, not to mention the support from your army, all of the protection you've so generously offered." "This is a great, prosperous business." "There's enough to go around for everybody." "Who better than you, who's supported us so much?" "Do the kidnappings have anything to do with this?" "You have to understand these 17 people weren't kidnapped for economic purposes." "They were kidnapped for political reasons." "It's a political issue." "Our only intent is to further pressure the national government." "You know better than I do there's no better time to kill or kidnap someone than Christmas." "All those prayers and Christmas carols and all that crap soften people up." "They'll sit down to negotiate." "What's the point of hiring more bodyguards?" "If they want to kidnap you, they'll kidnap you." "Mr." "Lopera?" "Yes?" "We'll talk later." "There's someone I have to attend to." "My dear Mr. Bedoya." "How are you, Mr. Lopera?" "I'm well." "Please sit down." "Thanks." "What are you doing here in Medellin?" "I'm sorry to interrupt and arrive unannounced." "After what happened to my son," "I couldn't stay in Bogota and do nothing." "I heard about that." "I'm really sorry." "What a terrible situation." "How can I help you, though?" "I understand you were the mediator between The Extraditables and President De la Cruz." "Yeah, that was a few years ago, but nothing came of it." "I need something to come of it now." "I'm listening." "Mr. Lopera, please intercede and help my son." "I need you to communicate the following message to the entire community." "Understood?" "Yes, sir!" "After the death of Mr. Gustavo Ramirez aka El Mariachi, the rules to the game have changed." "Property, businesses, and mines are not to be touched." "Emeralds, horses, and cars will not move." "Whatever once belonged to Mr. Mariachi belongs to others now, and that will be respected." "Understood?" "Yes, sir!" "Is that clear?" "Yes, sir!" "Disrespect these rules and you'll have a serious problem with The Extraditables." "And I don't want that to happen." "You may go home now." "Thanks!" "Yes, sir!" "What did you tell him?" "Well, I don't think I'll get tired of telling you that the best partner and ally in these times, more than the military, is Pablo Escobar." "The only thing those people care about is indiscriminate car bombing and picking fights with politicians." "They're crazy!" "Lucio..." "Hold your fire." "Come here." "Listen." "The fight they're fighting isn't the same, but it's similar to ours." "All they want is to rejoin society after their sins are forgiven." "No, sir." "Don't you dare compare us!" "You and I don't need forgiveness!" "All we've done is defend ourselves because the government can't!" "And we'll continue doing so, dammit!" "But with Pablo Escobar's power and money." "Get that through your head." "We're going to hit some leftist politicians." "Some dogs who have it coming." "Are we ready?" "Of course." "Unless Mr. Pablo Escobar changes his mind." "Are you finished?" "Are you?" "I'm calling the shots." "Leave it alone." "Yes, Commander."
