CHARACTERS AND SITUATIONS
HAVE BEEN ALTERED FOR THIS PROGRAM.

"Appointment at the Palace of Justice,
3:00 pm.

Reservation at El Cabestrante Restaurant
for anniversary.

Buy flowers.

Appointment at the Palace."

If you like,
talk to the guerrillas.

Ask them if your father

helped people get out of prison,
on Pablo Escobar’s orders.

Hello.

May I speak with
Mrs. Beatriz Camargo?

I am so sorry.

This is Ana María Solozábal.
I’m the daughter...

of Bernardo Solozábal.

Yes.

Yes, she was his secretary
for several years.

Ah... No.

I apologize for disturbing you.

Thanks.

CARIBBEAN COAST OF COLOMBIA

Too slow.

Come on, my friend.
You're too slow.

Let's go, let's go!

Come on, squeeze them in.

Hey!

Squeeze them in.

Hurry, we need it today.

Come on.

Move them now!

Come on.

A gift for your boss.

Look, pal.

This isn’t about gifts.

This is about you keeping your promises.

We’ll keep our promises.

We’ll keep them.

It’s just an apology for what happened.

Right.

The phone.

Call your boss.

It was just a little gift to show you
my good intentions.

Look, pal.

I already told your flunkey,
but I’ll repeat it to you...

Your little gift
won’t fix a fucking thing.

Yes, I know that I dropped the ball.

Yes, you dropped the ball.

Let me tell you this, John Jairo.

We expect our business partners
to hold up their end of the bargain, fag.

Relax,
we won’t have any more problems.

I hope not.

Because if you fuck up again,

I'll have to bring my boss a gift.

Your balls on a plate, fucker.

We need more merchandise.

Those Mexicans are buying it like candy.

And they are more annoying
than a laxative.

I will get more, Popeye.

We'll have to buy it
from the paramilitary and the guerrillas.

Neither of them alone
can get the amount we need.

But...

if any of them find out...

we’ll be in deep shit.

No, relax.

Make the deal. As long as there's money,
they'll go along.

And those mariachis
have more than enough money.

All right, so let’s do it.

Okay.

What’s this?

"Verify the information
about John Jairo’s death."

CAPITAL PRISON

I’ve come to do business.

Do tell.

We have a deal for your organization.

And we want you to be the middleman.

Galeno.

We know that you have control

over some of the areas
that produce what we need.

According to this article,

GLYPHOSATE VS. ILLICIT CROPS

which, by the way, is very well written,

there's a lot of trouble
on the way, Galeno.

And we have...

the staff...

and the resources.

And, most importantly, Galeno,

people willing to buy from us.

We are not interested
in that kind of business.

Wait a minute, Galeno.

How do you finance the war?

With a lot of money.

We want to help.

What’s wrong
with wanting to help the cause, bro?

Nothing.

The problem is that I have no say
in the movement’s finances.

I’m just an idealist.

Idealist?

Don’t you give advice to the Secretariat
on how to make good deals?

Galeno, convince them to sell us
all your products.

Do you know what the best part is?
Your cut is 5%.

If you only knew how much
affection this man has for you.

Do you know what he told me?

Prison is harsh.

A talk with him will do you good.

A lot of good.

Ten.

Tell my friend J.J. that I want ten.

I’ll tell him.

We already have a buyer
for our products, bro.

We know. That’s very clear.

But what’s in it for you? Nothing, right?

I came to offer you
another type of benefit.

Really?

What kind of benefit? Money?

Yes, among other things.

We are talking
about an increase in the price.

But also about...

perks inside the prison.

Look,

before John Jairo left,

he loosened
all the security systems here.

He left good contacts inside.

We can use those contacts for you.

For example, would you like to…

let’s say...

bring in weapons?

Alcohol?

Drugs? Women? Whatever.

Don’t bullshit me, man.

I assure you, this is not bullshit.

I wouldn’t have come all this way
with a proposal if it wasn’t real.

Let’s do this, Mr. Bernal.

Think about it.

But, just so you know,

if your answer is no,

I’ll have to offer this deal
to the guerrillas’ leader.

I think he would love
to regain control of this place.

-I see.
-Think about it.

Think about it. I'll be back soon.
Okay?

Wait.

How much product are we talking about?

All of it.
As much as you can produce.

"At this moment,

I'm being forced
to take a break from an investigation

that, until recently,
has consumed all my energy.

I must report a couple
of extremely delicate matters.

According to one of our sources,

a bomb went off at the hideout

of John Jairo Velásquez Vásquez,

who is currently a fugitive from justice.

This criminal survived.

But two of his alleged employees,

whose identities remain unknown,

were not so lucky.

What's even more outrageous

is that the media didn't inform
the public about these facts.

It is as if someone put a lid

on everything
relating to John Jairo Velásquez Vásquez.

But this silence isn’t imposed solely
on the media.

Colonel Tello,

who was aware of the facts
that surrounded the escape of J.J.,

has also been silenced.

His assignment
to a far-flung diplomatic post

seems like an excuse to isolate him
from what's happening in our country.

It's as if someone has forbidden him
from making a statement,

because Tello refuses to answer
any calls from journalists.

The silence surrounding
John Jairo Velásquez Vásquez's escape

has prompted me to ask

several questions
that must be answered.

Why do the authorities
refuse to answer questions

about what happened the day J.J. escaped?

Why aren't the authorities interested

in catching one of the most wanted
criminals in this country?

Is there an agreement
between this criminal and the authorities?

"We must answer these questions

if we want to discover
the truth about this case.

However, it is unlikely that anyone
will come forward to answer them,

because it appears
J.J. has been able to silence justice.

Justice has been cornered,
threatened and neutralized.

That’s why this article’s goal,
although it might seem pointless,

is to elicit a reaction
from our institutions

until they finally
put a stop to John Jairo Velásquez."

What do you think?

How did Ana María know about the bomb?

Isn’t it clear that someone in here
is leaking information?

Let me do some research, Counselor.

Do you really think that I care
about knowing the snitch's name right now?

What bothers me is the lack of results.

You and I have already spoken about this.

Yes! And nothing has changed.
Everything is the same.

You’re giving me the runaround.

And I’m still here waiting for an outcome!

I spoke with J.J.,
and he's promised results.

And you believed that rat’s promises?

I spoke with the president.

He's ordered the mission to be canceled.

And I must capture
John Jairo Velásquez immediately.

And this time,
it doesn't matter if he's dead or alive.

The woman I spoke with

confirmed that J.J. got out
of a red truck and bought food from her.

So he's doing whatever the hell he wants.

NATIONAL PROSECUTOR

Dixon.

I’m here to find out
where John Jairo Velásquez is.

-Give me the coordinates.
-That’s not possible.

Dixon, I’m not asking you for a favor.

The order is from upstairs.

What country do you think you're in?

I work for the DEA, Cifuentes.

And the DEA answers only
to the president of the U.S.

Popeye is a Colombian criminal

who kills Colombians

in Colombian territory.

So, I need the damn coordinates.

You’ll get them

as soon as you bring me a court order
signed by my government.

You may have them then, not before.

Come in.

What happened?

Nothing.

What are we going to do?

-Wait.
-Wait?

This case isn't based on a whim.

Like it or not,
it's coordinated with Washington,

and we’ll have to resolve it
through diplomatic means.

With all due respect, sir...

I can’t believe Dixon will get away
with this.

That won’t happen.

He's just buying time.

He's hoping for a miracle.

-Did you see what your friend did?
-What friend?

-The journalist.
-What do you mean? What happened?

Her attempts to fight you
have finally succeeded.

I don’t understand.

Due to this woman’s pressure,
the Prosecution has ordered your capture.

What, motherfucker?
What about our deal?

What deal, John Jairo?
The one you never fulfilled?

I’m working on it.

We extradited Romero Orjuela.

-What's your excuse now?
-I don't have any.

I'm negotiating with the Mexicans.
It's not that easy.

It's not like just sticking it in
and making a baby.

I need more time.

You don’t have time, John Jairo.

These people are demanding your location.

I have no more excuses to give them.

Your time's up. Got it?

-Did you hear all that?
-Yes.

I need to silence the journalist.

She's becoming a pain in my ass.

You wanna kill her?
Why ask for more trouble?

Did I say kill her?

I just said "silence" her.
There's a difference.

Why don't you just kill her once and
for all? It's the only thing you do well.

Why don’t you get us three strong coffees?

Get them yourself.

-Don’t fuck with me.
-Shut up.

Go fuck yourself.

-When will you get over that woman?
-Yes, Popeye. Come on.

What’s that snake doing here, bro,
besides constantly bitching?

The bitching's the least of it.

She hears everything,
knows everything now.

If she gets caught and talks,
we're fucked.

She won’t talk
and she won't get caught.

We do business together. That's one thing.

But my private life is another.
I handle that, okay?

Okay?

Okay.

These were in an envelope.

Was there a note?

Yes, there was a note.
They slipped it under my door, look.

Here's the evidence that J.J. was there.

Yes.

These pictures

are from the same location,

and nothing was left.
The police took everything.

Ana María.

Do you still think that the police

were involved
with what happened to Popeye?

-Don’t you?
-Not really.

Look, this is exactly what happened
with Escobar.

He bribed the police.

Escobar had all the money
and power in the world

to do whatever he wanted.
But Popeye...

No comparison.

Do you think I’m making it up?

Well...

if you present this evidence to a judge,
they will think you made it up.

That’s why you must continue.
We must investigate.

"We"?

Unless you want to do it alone.

CARIBBEAN COAST OF COLOMBIA

-Díaz?
-Serrano.

JOURNALIST

That’s right.

Here are the documents.

-Are they all here?
-Yes, sir.

And here’s the money.

-Consider it done.
-Great, bro.

All right.

Hello.

Yes, what?

What radio station?

Wait. Wait a minute.

Okay.

No matter how you see it,

Ana María Solozábal
is the daughter of a drug dealer.

That’s why it's so hypocritical that
she's lecturing Colombia about morality.

This journalist belongs to a family

which obtained its wealth
from drugs and blood.

It's a paradox

that she's the one
randomly accusing people,

claiming that they have
links to drug trafficking.

I want to clarify that, unlike her,

I am not launching
reckless accusations.

I have proof of what I am saying.

Right in front of me

on my desk.

I have documents

that prove

that Prosecutor Bernardo Solozábal

worked for Pablo Escobar Gaviria.

These documents
contain a list of frontmen

who worked for Escobar,

and whom...

this journalist's father helped to free.

There is also a list of Escobar's enemies

whom the journalist's father
helped to convict.

These documents

are available to the authorities

and also to Ana María,
in case she hasn’t seen them.

Feel free to request them.

Coming up...

I hope this will finally silence
that bitch.

She won’t show her face
in public again.

GUERRILLA-CONTROLLED ZONE

The deal John Jairo
is proposing is really good.

How good is it?

He’s willing to pay you 20% more

than he pays
the people in the Gulf.

That money could be very useful,
Commander.

Particularly now that you’re about
to start the negotiations.

Right.

Think about it.

Look.

You need to raise funds
by any means possible.

You know that J.J.

was always closer
to the paramilitary groups

than to us.

I know.

But you know how war works.

Alliances change
with the direction of the wind.

That’s what worries me.

He might turn against us
at any moment.

He will, sir. He will.

As soon as you stop selling him drugs,

he’ll buy them from the paramilitary.

Listen.

Selling to him isn’t just about money.

It is about making sure...

that the enemy doesn’t get the money
that should go to your organization.

Think about that.

Please make yourself comfortable,

and enjoy the speech
I'm about to give,

which will inform you about our history.
Where we came from and where we're going.

The voice of working class resistance.

The voice of student
and peasant resistance.

Good choice.

Do you think so?

I'm talking about you.

I like the fact that you found
your place here.

Yes, it was a matter of time.
You were right.

The Commander is very pleased.

He loves the line of work
you have chosen.

I love it too.

This is for you.

Tell him I miss him a lot.

I need them to listen to me.

They won't listen.

This country enjoys crucifying people,
both the good and the bad.

They love drama.

And this journalist
has given them tons of the stuff.

What do I do now?

Forget about it
and continue with your work.

Forgetting about it...
is like forgetting my dad, Tito. No.

Continuing with my work
means dealing with Velásquez,

and I don’t know how to handle it.

Are you sure?

This journalist having that information
was no accident.

Someone wants to hurt you

and they're messing with your head
so you'll stop investigating.

The question is,
are you going to fall for it?

Will you stop sharing what you learn
because of what happened to your dad?

Here with me

is Mrs. Sofía de Ramírez,

one of J.J.’s countless victims.

Fausto,
thanks so much for having me.

Hello, everyone.

How do you feel about
the rumors regarding Ana María, Sofía?

Completely deceived.

It's outrageous to learn
that the reporter who interviewed you,

who offered her support
and also claimed to be a victim,

is linked to the criminals
and murderers that killed your husband.

Ana María Solozábal mocked me.

And, not only me,
but also the other victims.

I understand now

why she dedicated so much time
on her show

to the...

murderer that we all know as J.J.

Why do you think her motive was, Sofía?

Well, she comes
from a drug dealers’ family,

so it's easy for her to take the side...

of that criminal.
What else could it be?

Hello.

Ana María.

Who’s this?

This is Marta
with San Silvestre nursing home.

Is my mother all right?

Unfortunately,
your mother has had a nervous breakdown.

We think the cause
was something she heard on the radio.

The doctor gave her some medication.

You really should come visit her.

CAPITAL PRISON

Good news.

The work is done.

Was there any issue?

The merchandise was delivered to J.J.
without a problem.

What’s up, soldier?
Are you almost at the party?

We’re very close, sir.
We’ll be there in about five minutes.

All right, I’ll let them know
so they open the door for you.

I just checked the mules, Commander.

-And everything is in order.
-Of course, as promised.

Just like this, look.

Here’s everything as promised.

Good, that’s the way I like it.

A deal is a deal, right?

-A deal is a deal. Alirio.
-Sir.

Count it and make sure it matches
the amount I have in my head.

-Yes, sir.
-Of course, Commander.

Don't be suspicious.

I'm not suspicious, just counting.

This is the beginning
of a very profitable alliance.

I hope so.

What’s up, my friend?

Did you hear?
The girls have arrived.

Yes, sir. We can see them.

Oh, great. Treat them well.

Here are the orders from your government.

NATIONAL PROSECUTOR

Washington and Bogotá
have discussed the matter,

and they arrived at the conclusion
that this operation is a failure.

And that we must capture
John Jairo Velásquez immediately.

I need you to give me
the coordinates of his location right now.

No more games, Agent Dixon.

GUERRILLA-CONTROLLED ZONE

-If you see anything, tell me.
-Okay. Make it quick.

Good morning.

Hello.

- Tito?
-Yes, this is he.

This is Ximena Escobar.

The beauty queen?

How are you?

I’m well, and you?
Are you all right?

Yes, I’m fine. Don’t worry.

But...

where are you calling from?

From a pay phone, in a small village.

Did you escape?

No. I wish, but no.

Besides the radio broadcast,
I also help with the groceries.

We're given leave to take care of it.

Run away, find someone.
Tell them what's happening.

No, what for?

If a police officer or a soldier sees me,
I'll go back to jail.

Look, Tito, I'm calling you
because I need your help.

For what?

-I need to make a public accusation.
-An accusation? About what?

I want to accuse the guerrilla group
that kidnapped me

of doing business with traffickers.
They're sending them drugs.

Trucks full of cocaine
are leaving the campsite.

Hello? Did you hear me?

Yes, of course.

Tito, please.
You have to help me.

I'd love to,
but to be taken seriously

I'll need more than your testimony.

We are about to begin

the peace agreement.

I can’t spread this information
without proof.

Yes, I understand.

Can you get proof
of what you're saying?

I’ll see what I can find.

However, I have one condition.

What is it?

I need you to be my witness.

The day this blows up,

I'll need to prove
that I was your source for the info.

I see.

I want everyone to know
that I’m being held here against my will.

Cifuentes.

Here are the coordinates.
You'll find him there.

Do you know how happy I am, Agent,
that your operation is over?

And guess what I like the most?

That Colonel Tello's words
are coming true.

He said that this operation
would be your downfall.

And look at you now.

He was right.

-Enjoy this moment.
-Yes, I’ll enjoy it.

Attention, Cárdenas.

We need to plan the operation
to capture Popeye.

NURSING HOME

The doctor said
that as long as she takes her medication

and stays away from what affected her,
she'll be fine.

Ana.

Wouldn't it be best
if you took her with you?

Why?

Because Bogotá
has facilities that are better equipped,

with specialists that can
keep her under observation.

My mother chose this place,
so it's right for her.

She's comfortable here,
so I don't understand.

Yes, she is.

Anyway, think about it.

Are you telling me this for her
or yourself?

I’m just delivering the message

the board of directors
asked me to give you.

Are they kicking her out?

It’s nothing against her.

Please understand.

The board of directors feels
that it's not convenient to house

the wife of someone
who was linked to Pablo Escobar.

Because we help
relatives of the victims--

She had nothing to do with that.

You are a good person.
So is your mother.

-It’s just that--
-I’ll take her.

CARIBBEAN COAST OF COLOMBIA

Come on, come on, hurry, hurry.

Let’s go.

This is the place, gentlemen.

Buddy, please squeeze them in.
I need them all in, all right?

Come on! Alirio!
Come on! Bring them!

-Clear.
-Clear.

This is shit.

Either that fucker Dixon knows nothing...
or he’s lying.

Dixon didn’t give a fuck that the order
came from his own government.

He fooled us all.

Mancipe, I hope
you had nothing to do with this.

I didn't, sir.

Call him. Don’t warn him,
tell him I need to see him.

I can’t.

Why not?

Because he took a plane to the U.S. today.

We are here.

-Do you need help with your bag?
-No.

Everything will be fine, you’ll see.
We’ll be fine.

DRUG DEALER'S DAUGHTER
DRUG DEALER'S FAMILY

Welcome home.

I know.

We had some problems
with this operation, but...

that’s no reason to surrender.

We can’t give up when we’re so close.

Dixon, I don’t agree
with the decision either,

but an order is an order.

Yes, Agent, but--

But nothing. Either you change
your attitude or I will suspend you.

Sometimes you win and sometimes you lose.

We lost this time.
All we can do is accept it.

The DEA just gave us the access we needed

to monitor the transmitters
that J.J. has on him.

So, proceed.

Counselor, I have a question.

What punishment will Dixon face
for what he did?

Forget about Agent Dixon
and focus on bringing J.J. to justice.

That's your goal.

Sir, with all due respect...
I don't trust Agent Mancipe.

In fact, I don't think he should be part
of this operation.

I was following orders.

They assigned me to work
with Dixon and I did.

I don't understand your concern.

You know what worries me?
That neither you nor your DEA friend

made any effort to capture J.J.
That worries me.

I was following
the Prosecutor’s orders.

That's right,
and you did your job very well.

And now you'll help us
bring J.J. to justice.

If you agree, we're fine.

But, if you don't, let me know.

Yes, sir.

Dixon, I don’t agree with
the decision either,

but an order is an order.

But nothing. Either you change
your attitude or I will suspend you.

We lost this time.
All we can do is accept it.

Remember what the doctor said, please.

-You have to take your pills.
-Yes, I know.

Do you want something to eat?

-Are you hungry?
-No, no.

No, I want...

I want to rest.

Rest, okay?

Okay.

Everything will be okay.

THE SECRET'S OUT ON SOLOZÁBAL

THE JUDGE WHO WORKED
FOR THE DRUG TRAFFICKER

SOLOZÁBAL: ESCOBAR'S JUDGE

-Good afternoon.
-Hello.

Ms. Ana María Solozábal?

-Yes.
-An invitation.

Thanks.
