THOSE WHO IGNORE THEIR HISTORY ARE CONDEMNED TO REPEAT IT. inte.Diego zarate

Please, Cami.

It's alright.

They'll find out eventually.

Yes, but not today.

They're not going understand why Grandpa's on the front page.

What about Adelaida?

It's different with her.

They're obviously going to find out.

Yes, we're not going to hide it from them.

But if this is horrible for adults,

then it's even worse for them.

Angela, let's go outside.

I still don't understand.

I can't believe it.

Yesterday everything was normal and then suddenly...

they took Dad from us.

I know...

I don't understand.

Why are you dressing me up?

Are we going to a novena?

No, sweetie.

We're not going to a novena.

So?

It's just that you have to be very graceful and pretty.

I know, but why?

Hi, sweetie.

Hi, Grandma.

You look very pretty and elegant.

Where's Grandpa?

Sweetie...

your grandpa's in heaven.

That's why you're so dressed up.

We're going to go say goodbye to him.

Did he leave on a trip?

Yes, honey.

A very long trip.

Why didn't he say goodbye?

That's what Grandma said, honey.

We're going to go say goodbye to him.

But how are we supposed to say goodbye to him

if he's in heaven?

Are we going to call him?

Our position... independent of El Espectador,

is very firm.

There are certain politicians who don't like that

because when they're in power,

they intend on changing our ways and opinions

by suppressing certain official media outlets.

Pablo...

who are we hiding from this time?

Who told you we're hiding, Patricia?

What are we doing here then?

We're protecting ourselves from the false accusations

that are being thrown at us by our political enemies...

Pablo, for God's sake!

Do you know how many children that journalist had?

Five!

And how many grandchildren?

Seven! Seven little kids!

For God's sake!

Really?

Then congratulations to Mr. Guillermo Cano.

Why are you telling me that?

Did I kill him? What do I have to do with that?

Listen, Patico.

Look at me.

We're victims of a despicable political persecution.

I can't let the government extradite me to the U.S. unjustly.

Do you want your two kids to be fatherless?

Don't say that!

Why would I want that? Do you want that?

I don't either.

No one wants that.

Don't be stupid.

Then...

you're my wife.

I need you to help me.

I need your support and affection.

I have been a husband to you and a father to my kids...

Why do you think I'm here?

You're being unfair.

No, sir!

I'm here supporting you!

Look at me! I'm here supporting you!

If you're so convinced that I'm an evil murderer,

then go call the police and tell them

I'll be at the pool playing with Emilio.

Go tell them.

Now no one's going to doubt

what we're capable of doing to the Extraditers.

No, sir.

We sent out a clear message.

I'd like to speak, gentlemen.

This country hasn't been

the same since the attack eight days ago.

There's still a lot to do and we still have the strength.

Right, Pablo?

That's right, Mariachi.

Hello.

How are we doing?

So you think we should continue, Mariachi?

Don't you think the news today was enough?

The editor of the most important newspaper

in this country is dead.

Sorry to contradict you, Pedro, but he's not dead.

We killed him.

Exactly.

I think the government and the country got the message.

We still have to go after the Extraditers though.

It's the only way of getting to the root of the problem.

Exactly, Herber.

With this new strike, we'll show the country

that our military objectives aren't just focused

on journalists, politicians, ministers, judges,

and police officers, but everyone.

Including the cowards that already left the country.

I don't get it, Pablo.

It's clear that no one can mess with us in this country.

But abroad?

Who are you talking about?

Don't you remember who replaced Lara Bonilla

as minister of justice?

There you have it.

How many times did we hear him say in congress

that he was a businessman?

How many times?

Look.

This photo shows that Pablo Escobar Gaviria's

real business is cocaine trafficking.

Minister Lara said it a million times,

and that's why he was brutally murdered.

Of course. Ernesto Chacon!

He was the one who extradited

our first fellow countrymen to the gringos.

Exactly.

When he left his position as minister,

he ran out to hide in an embassy abroad.

In Europe, to be more exact.

Those damn politicians never change.

Mr. Chacon is in Budapest acting as ambassador in Hungary.

I can't wait to see the president's face

when he realizes the bunch of testicles...

I mean, tentacles... that we have here.

Cheers to that!

Cheers.

Hold on, gentlemen.

I can't believe you guys.

This man's blood is still warm on the floor,

and we're thinking of more bloodshed?

Yeah, Pedro.

That's our only way out.

That minister owes us.

I know that.

I know he's going to pay for it,

but let's wait.

Let's postpone the attack.

Listen, Pedro.

When there's no chance of us being extradited to the U.S.,

we'll stop hiding.

You can be sure.

No, Pablo.

That threat doesn't exist right now.

It doesn't exist now, but it could exist tomorrow.

I hope that with Mr. Guillermo Cano's death,

the government comes to its senses.

But if the government insists on the extradition,

then I'm determined to take the diplomatic route.

We're going to be diplomatic with the government

by sending them Ambassador Ernesto Chacon's body in a box.

Emilio!

Let's see who can hold their breath the longest.

Today Colombia was robbed not only

of one of its best journalists but of an extraordinary father

and even more extraordinary grandfather.

Somewhere in Colombia lies the evil being

that didn't care about Mr. Guillermo's humane qualities

and made the decision of ending his life

and destroying his family in the process.

We ask that God receive with open arms

the being that's knocking at his door.

And that he also enter the hearts of those

who have taken divine matters into their own hands.

And that he make them understand that's not the way.

This priest sure does talk s***.

Guys.

Come here.

Let's talk.

Sure.

Let's talk for a minute.

How are you, Mr. Marcos?

I'm happy with the news.

It makes me feel proud of the Medellin cartel,

the organization we all belong to.

But I'm even happier because we're going to solve

this problem between us.

You're fine by us, sir.

That's great.

I'm going to confess something to you.

I can't imagine having you two as my enemies.

God forbid.

Us as enemies, sir?

Of course not.

May God protect us.

It's just that you almost killed us.

And I couldn't just sit still.

I know, and that's why I wanted to apologize.

I went too crazy that night.

Besides, that bodyguard got me worked up,

but I never wanted to do anything to you guys.

Alright, Mr. Marcos.

I'm glad you're owning up too.

We'll start over as if nothing happened.

I'll do the same.

We have to thank Pablo because he helped us make amends.

That's a true friend.

I value that.

So, we'll go on.

Alright, Mr. Marcos.

Take care.

The Medellin cartel killed him

because of what he published in El Espectador.

What kind of country is this?

Where a person kills another for something he wrote.

Grandma.

What, honey?

All these people know Grandpa?

They knew what he did.

A lot of people read the paper.

Why are they waving those white handkerchiefs?

It's their way of saying goodbye to him.

I want one too.

We'll get you one.

Dad, if Grandpa's in heaven...

then why are we going to bury him?

Grandpa's dead, right?

Oh, sweetie.

As you all know, Mr. Guillermo Cano was this newspaper's soul.

As he said, even though it hurts we have to go on without him.

That's what he would have wanted.

For us to continue what he was doing.

As Nicky said, what he did...

Well, that's why they killed him.

He spoke openly

about the Medellin cartel and drug trafficking.

That's the task we'll continue persisting in.

Now more than ever.

We'll continue to talk about that subject

in the informative columns and in the opinion column.

As you can understand, it's still too soon for the family

to decide on who'll run the paper.

We hope to get together soon and make that decision.

Yes.

In the meantime, we'll follow Nene's orders.

I guess we'll all go to the march.

Yes, that march belongs to all journalists,

not only those from El Espectador.

We'll tell those mobsters not to mess with us.

Thank you.

Excuse me.

Is there a problem if I report it?

Thousands of people accompanied

the journalists from Bogota yesterday

to show support for the march's motto,

which read, "Crime will not silence us."

They showed the country that a Colombia without press,

is a Colombia in silence that's lost and misinformed.

It was also a message for the attackers...

the ones who ended Mr. Guillermo Cano's life.

This manifestation will not let the media become silent

or stop calling out on the existence of drug cartels,

drug lords, and their criminal acts.

The father of the Colombian press has died,

but luckily the press still lives on.

"Marches of Silence in all the country"

So, Mariachi?

How much does that animal cost?

Since it's for you, I'll charge you 50 million pesos.

50 million?

Yes, sir.

You know how many hippos

I can import from Africa for that much money?

Can you ride a hippo?

When have you seen a Paso Fino hippo?

Let's do something.

Grab that horse and give it to your daughter.

It's my gift.

Tell her it's from Uncle Mariachi.

Thank you, Mariachi.

I'll take it.

Boss!

Thank you.

Turn the horse around! Turn the horse!!

Hello?

We're ready whenever you are.

We'll work in any European country.

That merchandise is right there in Budapest.

Great.

We need some time so we can plan things right, though.

Take as much time as you need,

but I ask that this not take more than two months.

How much money will we get for the job?

That's up to you.

Just tell me how much it is and we'll work it out.

Alright.

I'm surprised to see

the reaction the newspapers have had.

Why does it surprise you?

They had to support us.

Of course.

It's great that they support us, air the interview,

and keep silent for 24 hours.

That's all great.

Then what don't you like, Mom?

They're doing it now, but they didn't do it before.

Your father was the only one, along with a few others,

who had the courage to face the Medellin cartel.

He reported them.

The rest kept quiet.

That's why they killed him.

He was the only one who spoke the truth without any fear.

The rest of the media was scared.

They still silenced the country for a day.

I thought it was a significant act.

They could have done nothing.

They could have done more.

That's all I'm saying.

I'm trying to think about what you guys are saying...

but I'm still stuck on what happened

since this tragedy started.

Don't you feel like

you have a ton of things you didn't get to say to Dad?

Something as simple as an "I love you?"

I never did.

Now I know I'll never be able to tell him.

He knew you did, Cami.

I love you, Mom.

I love you too, Mom.

And I love all of you.

Come, let me show you this.

This is the most beautiful thing of nature:

to feed an animal from your own hand.

Emilio... pay attention to me.

Take the carrot and put your hand this way.

That way the horse eats it easily.

That's why we call him Mariachi.

He just loves horses and rancheras.

Give it to him like this.

Alright, sweethearts.

I think it's time to go to sleep.

Come with mommy, sweetie.

Hold on, Patico.

The kids don't want to go to sleep yet.

A little longer.

Do you want to stay, Emilio?

A little longer.

Let's do this, then.

You'll bring them inside, bathe them,

get them in their pajamas, and put them to bed.

Have a good night. God bless you.

Good night, princess.

Hold on, Patico.

You're going to bed without saying good night?

I already said good night.

No.

That's not how a wife says good night to her husband.

How should it be?

Come on, Emilio.

Let's go to bed.

Come on. Let's go to bed.

We're tired already.

It's time for bed, honey.

Not yet, Dad.

I wanna see Grandpa on TV.

The interview will be on very late.

You'll fall asleep before it is on.

Let me stay up, please.

We have reached a consensus among journalists

regarding a subject we might call "off-limits"

by self-censorship, self-control,

or by fear for our own lives.

That subject is drug-trafficking.

Do you believe it is true?

From my newspaper's and my own point of view,

I have not received any direct threats

though my column has strongly focused on the subject.

Drug trafficking is one of the most serious issues

our country is facing right now.

Other journalists have received death threats,

and some have been viciously murdered.

Obviously, this issue hinders freedom of the press in Colombia.

Of course it affects freedom of the press

because, as journalists, we have that constant threat.

after I leave the newspaper office at night.

I don't know what to expect

after I leave the newspaper office at night."

"I don't know what to expect

Those were Mr. Guillermo Cano's words

the night before he left El Espectador

and was murdered by two hit men on a motorcycle.

We've reached the end of tonight's show.

As of this moment,

no Colombian media outlet will publish any information.

Good night.

Nothing...

This radio doesn't pick up anything.

There you have the country's journalists!

They're off the air.

How stupid.

Pablo.

Your daughter fell asleep waiting.

What do I do with the horse?

Bring it to her room.

What do you mean?

Tie it inside her room.

I want it to be a surprise when she wakes up.

Go for it.

What's up, Pablo?

Look who's here!

What's up?

What's up, Mariachi?

Thank you for your generous invitation to your house,

and I'm especially thankful for my daughter's horse.

No problem.

My pleasure. Enjoy it.

Thanks.

What's up with Herber?

Is he dressed up as Rambo today?

Pablo, I'm so grateful...

that you took me into account during this celebration.

The holidays without your family are really tough, bro.

I don't wish that on anybody.

I know that, Herber.

But don't thank me because you're part of the family.

Bro, you're the best.

I feel so honored with your words.

I also wanted to mention this thing regarding this gentleman...

Thanks.

...the thing in Budapest is full speed ahead.

That's great, Pablo!

I've already made all the arrangements for the party.

It'll be on the fourth of February.

Everyone's been notified.

We'll have a huge celebration that day, bro.

That's great, Marcos.

February 4th. I'll be there!

Pati, he's all yours.

What's goin on, ma'am?

What's going on, Mr. Pablo?

What's with the long face?

It's the only one I got!

So what?

Oh, alright.

I can't stop thinking about the Cano family.

I feel so sorry for them.

Burying a loved one in December?

That's horrible.

I feel sorry for them, too.

Thank God our family is okay.

I love my children with all my heart,

and I love you, too... a lot.

But you know what?

If God gave me a chance to turn back time...

I'd do my best not to fall in love with my neighbor.

This is for Grandma.

Give it to Granny.

From Santa to Uncle Fernando.

From Santa to Adelaida.

Give me that one.

From Santa to Uncle Guillermo.

This is for...

This big one is for Angela.

This one's heavy!

This Court understands the government's urgency

to amend the extradition treaty with the U.S.

which this Court did not ratify.

However, the new treaty they are trying to enforce

cannot be modified by just changing

the former president's signature for that of the current president.

Under these circumstances and from a legal standpoint,

this Court reaffirms the extradition treaty

with the U.S. will not be in effect.

Thank you very much.

The effort by the government was in vain.

At least they did something about it

instead of just sitting back.

The government knew that the extradition subject

was harder than re-signing a poorly prepared treaty.

We must insist on a strong hand against the cartel.

They killed us already, who's next?

How do we do that, Fernando?

This was our only hope

to bring Mr. Guillermo's killers to justice.

We still have hope.

We have to pressure the government

to keep fighting the cartel.

And cross our fingers so the Medellin gangsters stay put

and don't kill anybody else.

They're capable of doing it.

Obviously, their strategy is to intimidate the government

one corpse at a time.

Well, less talk and more work.

Congratulations for taking on the co-directors role.

You have a huge responsibility in your hands.

Thanks, Nene, but...

I hope you'll keep giving us your help...

and your advice.

Just like your father,

you're becoming directors at a very young age.

Don't worry, though.

You'll have my support and my reprimands.

Look...

How cute!

Do you like them?

Yeah.

Thanks, Grandma.

They're not from me.

Your Grandpa was going to give them to you

as a Secret Santa gift.

My grandpa was so nice.

Yeah.

He knew you'd like them a lot.

I know you're sad and so am I.

But we shouldn't worry because he's happy

and in peace watching out for us from heaven.

Yes... he sure is.

Come here.

Mr. Chacon...

Pablo, you really think the government

will stop messing around with this extradition deal?

After the thing in Europe, I hope they will.

When are we having Marcos Herber's party?

February 4th.

We're going to that party, right?

We should stay away from there.

Why?

Listen to me.

I know what I'm saying.

We'd better stay away.

First, second, third and fourth.

Now you can start the car.

There you go.

Like a little man!! Sit down comfortably.

Ready boss!t

Emilio, Let's turn off the car for a moment, go to the house.

We'll continue with the class later.

Thank you.

I love you.

How are you?

We're good, sir.

What's up, Chili?

Did you get me the people I asked for?

Yes, sir.

They're in the car.

Would you like to meet them now?

I'll ask you again to save ourselves the hassle.

Are these people really trustworthy?

Can they be added to our organization's payroll?

Of course, boss.

They're completely trustworthy.

See what happened with Topo?

For showing how tough he was, look how far he went.

You know I'm unique, boss.

Are they really good?

No, boss. Actually, they're terrible.

Those two look like choirboys, but they're the devil himself.

They're like no other.

Make them do whatever you want

and they'll come through for you.

They'll do anything you ask them to do.

Okay, let me go talk to them.

If it works out, you'll have some money coming your way.

Cool.

Oh, by the way...

Get a hold of Marcos Herber and tell him

that I'll gladly provide the support staff he asked for.

And save those long faces for later.

What's up, guys?

Hello, boss. This is Cain, my brother.

I'm Kiko, at your service.

Kiko?

Why do they call you Kiko?

You'll find out soon.

Nice to meet you.

I'm Pablo Emilio Escobar Gaviria.

Thank you for the opportunity, sir.

May the Lord Almighty and Judas Thaddeus bless you.

Thanks.

Thanks, bye.

Take a look at this magazine's editorial.

I'm sorry for barging in, but I have incredible news.

Do you remember Crisanto Perez?

A drug trafficker who was accused

of handing Rodrigo Lara a check

when he was campaigning for a Senate seat?

The guy from the Amazon?

That one.

Wasn't he involved in the murder

of the correspondent who was investigating him in Leticia?

My father always said he was killed because of that.

He was just arrested in San Andres.

That's the government's commitment against drug trafficking.

Crisanto Perez is a well-known drug trafficker

who'll be brought to justice to pay for his crimes.

And let me warn you... he won't be the only one.

We'll catch all of his top partners, his aides...

Pablo Escobar and everyone else in the Medellin cartel,

individuals who've done so much harm to our country.

Mr. President, will Perez be extradited?

Extradition as such doesn't exist in Colombia right now.

Therefore, the answer is no.

What are you planning on doing about it?

Sir, if you'll excuse me...

They almost killed Chacon.

That's all.

Excuse me.

Mr. President...

Sir, any news? What happened?
