CHARACTERS AND SITUATIONS HAVE BEEN ALTERED FOR THIS PROGRAM.
We’re on the second floor.
You’re in no danger here.
Uh-huh.
Tell me, sir.
Just how long are we going to have to stay here? I don’t know, ma'am.
Until things calm down.
- Where’s the phone? - There’s no phone here.
Could someone walk me to a store then? I need to make a phone call.
You'll be safer if you don't leave.
What should we do then? I need to talk to my husband.
Don’t worry, we’re in contact with him.
Excuse me.
You’re in charge.
Be on the lookout all the time, you can’t move.
Wonderful.
CAPITAL PRISON Take the deal the district attorney is offering.
Go to hell and take that deal with you.
We can do whatever you want, but Alexandra will hear this conversation.
Alexandra will realize what kind of thug you are, that you don’t care about your family.
Look, my friend you can paint whatever scene you like, but I won’t be signing anything or saying anything until I speak with my lawyer, do you understand? Yes, I understand.
Except your lawyer has turned up dead.
Go on, call him.
See for yourself.
John Jairo, we want to help you.
I’m not chatting you up.
I just want you realize that everything that smells of you and Escobar comes with a tombstone stuck on its ass.
No, mamacita.
All good.
I miss you like crazy, mamacita.
When you come this Friday, I’ll treat you the way you deserve.
You know - What’s going on? - An emergency.
- Go on, bro.
- Go on then.
What’s up? Come inside.
- Easy.
- Are you alone? Easy.
Yes, I’m alone.
Don’t kill me.
I don't know anything.
Easy, brother.
I didn’t ask you anything, you fag.
So stop saying that.
- Do you know Alexandra? The neighbor? - Yes.
That’s it.
You’ll help me, bro.
Go inside.
- How are you, my friend? - What’s up, J.
J.
? So good to hear from you.
Listen, have you seen my wife? What? Just married and already lost her? Stop kidding.
I’m in no mood for jokes.
Listen to what I’m saying.
I think that she’s with the DEA or that’s what they’re telling me to pressure me.
What I need is for you to find that out.
If that's the case, get a nice little team together because she’ll need rescuing, understand? That’s a done deal, my friend.
Those Pepes have it in for us.
They give us no rest.
They say Caspa is cornered down at Itagüí.
They're not after me because no one knows me.
Listen, I need you to work with me because there’s nothing I can do in here.
No, my friend.
It's way too dangerous to stake a lookout right now.
I’m sorry.
Stop, Alexandra.
I already did a security search.
Mom, you don’t know what these mics look like.
They’re tiny little things.
They look like flies.
And I want to be sure that we can talk in peace.
Talk about what? You and I have nothing to talk about, Alexandra.
We need to take the deal the men from the DEA - are offering.
- Listen to you.
Sure, go on and call him! How about that? - Come on, Alexandra.
Listen to me.
- What, Mother? Is what they say true about John Jairo having a stash? A what? Don’t play dumb.
You know what I’m talking about.
- Why ask about that now? - Does he, or doesn’t he? Well, he did say something about it before turning himself in.
And what is it that he could have in there? - Well, things for our future - What things? Oh, come on, calm down.
I don’t know, Mom.
I don’t know what you'd keep in a stash.
Money.
Guns, documents, recordings, cassettes, I don’t know.
The evidence these guys are looking for.
Everything that proves that more than half the country is involved.
That’s what you'd keep in a stash.
Come.
Come here, Alexandra.
Look.
If I’m talking to you about that stash, it's because I want you to understand that our chance could be there.
Our chance for what? A chance to save ourselves, darling.
See, you just give those men the location of the stash, right? And they send us to the U.
S.
to live a good life with my grandson.
Plus there’s good money, right? That’s why.
You can’t be thinking only about yourself.
Think about that little guy on the way.
CAPITAL PRISON PARAMILITARY CELLBLOCK How’s the assignment going? Good.
Yes, sir.
Good.
It's all set and packed.
Ready to ship.
Yes, sir.
Quick.
Come on, come on.
I’m trusting you with this delivery.
You know that load is very - important for the company.
- Don’t worry, it will all be fine.
- Don’t worry.
- Perfect, we’ll be in touch.
Okay, gentlemen.
How's it going? Lights.
- Good luck, boys.
- Thank you.
Careful, careful.
Okay.
So, Gonzaga, I don’t want any guards walking nearby tonight.
Is that clear? Yes, don’t worry.
It’s all set.
Everything is ready.
The guys are aware of what’s going to happen, You just relax.
Everything is set, okay? Look, if we’re caught, they’ll ship me right to the Amazon.
Let’s see.
Rodríguez.
I can’t call you Rodríguez.
That sounds like I’m telling you off.
- What’s your name? - Rigoberto.
Rigoberto, it’s just a few silly things from the store.
I see nothing wrong with it.
- Well, fine, Mrs.
Alexandra.
- "Mrs.
"? Oh, no.
Do I really look that old? How awful is that? No! - Not old.
How can you think that? - Okay then.
Tell me then.
What do you need? I’m embarrassed to say.
Just little intimate things.
Understand? - Evening.
- Sergeant.
Agent Rodríguez Peláez with nothing out of the ordinary to report.
What’s the witness doing outside the building? - Sergeant, how are you? - I’m good, thanks.
I was just telling Rodríguez how we need a couple things from the store.
Certainly.
Whenever you need something, you need to make a written request sometime during my shift, and I’ll sort it out.
- The thing is I need - The thing is I’m going to explain something.
This is a witness protection facility, okay? You can’t leave here, for your own good.
So when you need something, write it down, and I’ll gladly get it for you.
And that’s that.
- Thank you so much.
- You’re welcome.
Come on, Potro, understand.
Alias is gone.
What’s going on with you? Already on strike two.
Am I going to have to do this? Look, it’s not that easy.
That broad was taken by the cops, the pigs or the DEA.
The police are behind this.
Damn this life of mine.
Tell me what to do.
Then what? Do you want to go sleep in the box? - As soon as you find them, let me know.
- More? Hello? Hello? Listen, dyke.
Or Sergeant, whatever.
I’m sick of being locked up here.
I’m so sorry, miss.
Don’t be rude, Alexandra.
- Don’t be disrespectful like that.
- I’ll talk as I please.
Can’t you see this is illegal? Well, then, what is it you want? What do I want? To leave.
I need a phone.
Tell me, Rosa, what did I miss? When was it that they arrested us? Hold on a minute.
Stop being silly.
You can’t leave, and neither can your mom, until I get the order.
Understood? - Holy Mary, Alexandra.
- Holy Mary, what? How about that one? Such disrespect, so silly.
What are you thinking there all quiet, Alexandra? Stuff, mom.
So we have nothing.
Nothing conclusive to pressure him with.
Him or his wife.
Only the recording I made of him yesterday.
Think about your family.
How would you like to see them? Dead or alive? Do what you want.
I don’t care about them.
Nothing.
I’ll talk to her.
I know what I can do to soften her up.
I hope you can, Ramos, because tomorrow is the last day of preemptive detention.
If we have nothing, we'll have to let them go.
All right.
PARAMILITARY CELLBLOCK - It’s going all right, isn’t it? - Of course.
Yes.
We’ll see.
When should we be done? Just a little more.
Come on.
I’ll be right back, so get the soap ready.
All fresh and clean.
Of course I’m worried they didn’t kill that J.
J.
guy.
DRUG TRAFFICKERS CELLBLOCK But know what worries me most? That all these assholes think we don’t have enough balls to run the organization.
So I want you - to keep your eyes wide open.
- Sure, all good.
Oh, look who showed up.
Call him, call him.
Potro.
Come here, little foal.
Little foal, come here.
You know what happens to foals when they break a leg in the ranch? You were so angry.
Didn’t you want to say hello? Hello.
Is there something wrong? - What tickles, baby? - Nothing, sir.
It’s just that a big punch won’t go away overnight.
A terrible pain lingers.
What happened to Potro? He got angry? PARAMILITARY CELLBLOCK Whoa! Did you lose something or what? Nothing.
Just wanted to sweep in there.
Excuse me.
Excuse me, bro.
Why won’t it turn? What are you doing, darling? I don’t know why it’s so hard.
It's stuck or something.
What are you doing, Alexandra? Have you gone mad? - Ah! - I’ll get you out of here today, Mother.
We’re leaving today.
Come on, Mr.
Iván, let me talk to him.
Our little foal there is all riled up because his hoof was just pierced, but I’ll talk him into it.
Do me a favor, bro.
Start thinking about how you’re going to kill him.
How you’re going to off him.
Don’t mess around.
What do you think? That I hired a bunch of Sisters of Mercy? Watch it, bro, watch it.
GUERRILLA CELLBLOCK Mr.
Galeno.
Major.
You're needed in the infirmary.
It’s urgent.
- Who needs me? - Mr.
Iván Urrego.
- Urrego and who else? - Just Mr.
Urrego, Major.
- There’s no catch.
- Why doesn’t he come, then? COMMANDER GALENO GUERRILLA LEADER Sir, I wouldn’t be so foolish as to get you into trouble.
Take one of your men.
I guarantee there won’t be an inspection.
I won’t be long.
Door.
My dad was one of many judges who were murdered for doing their job.
For chasing drug traffickers that were hurting and still hurt the country so much.
The worst part was that even when they were in jail, nothing happened.
Those thugs continued to break the law, even behind bars.
The war was still there, the same war that fought outside and that the mafia and corruption were, unfortunately, winning.
Door.
You have to go in alone.
You can leave the men outside.
Come in without concern.
I’m sorry I don’t have whiskey.
Our sourcing is really bad, man.
There’s no one in there, bro.
Don't worry.
Well, talk to me.
- What do you want? - You know, Major, business.
It is not the first time you do business with us either.
Things were different in the forest.
You weren't with the paramilitary back there.
We’re not with them here either, at least not for now, Major.
The sun'll come up, and we’ll see, right? Well, what business are we talking about? I need you to fry a couple of pigs for me.
Who? - J.
J.
and Potro.
- And Potro? Isn’t he one of yours? That’ll show you how people are.
- Anyway, what do you say? - Well, I’ve been told that J.
J.
is being protected by Abel Mahecha.
Don’t tell me you’re scared, man? Being scared is not the problem, Mr.
Urrego.
If I rattle the hornet’s nest with the paramilitary, we’ll have a messy war.
That costs money, guns, men, guards.
Don’t beat around the bush, Major.
How much? One hundred million pesos, no less.
Don’t be ridiculous.
That's a lot of money.
You’ve gone mad.
Don’t be ridiculous.
That’s a lot of money, bro.
It’s about time you realized that a revolution costs money.
And what I’m asking for is very little compared to what I’m risking.
Think about it.
Door.
PARAMILITARY CELLBLOCK I can walk by myself, bro.
Did you need me, Major? The toilet’s clogged.
Yes, but I don’t have the tools to get the job done.
How about that? He couldn’t find a plunger in the whole prison.
I looked everywhere, but there’s nothing.
Look, tell Gonzaga to take you to the workshop, and get a plunger, and fix that right now.
Yes, sir.
Excuse me.
- Hey, what a mess.
- I don’t want the smell of shit - to hit the cells, got it? - Yes, sir.
What a stupid idiot.
Suarez, open up, now.
Go in there.
Wait for me.
We’ll have lunch.
- Yes, sir.
- Let’s go.
Look for what you need.
Come on.
Find it fast, man.
I don’t see what I need.
What do you want me to do about it? Where should I get it? That’s not my problem.
You know the Major.
He cannot be crossed.
You know what? I’ll go ask if they put them somewhere else.
- You keep looking around here.
- Don’t worry.
- Hello.
- Hello.
How are you? How should I be? Worried.
I can imagine.
And your mom? Nothing, she went to bed.
With everything she’s been through.
How awful.
I brought you some food.
I didn’t know what you liked, so I figured I’d bring pizza and a bottle of wine.
Thank you, but I can’t drink.
I’m sorry.
I forgot you were pregnant.
Oh, don’t worry.
It’s not like it’s yours.
You don’t have to remember.
Look, Alexandra, things are bad.
They’re still looking for you, high and low.
They threatened your neighbors today.
Don’t say that.
CAPITAL PRISON Pipe here.
In position.
R, five-five, we’re here.
Be alert, then.
Eyes wide open.
We’re 20 minutes away, gentlemen.
I’ll take 3H to the workshop and come back.
Come, Mr.
Abel.
Why do you need to go there and take risks? Why? I just want this 3H job to turn out really well.
I don’t want trouble later with that mad man Castañeda.
3H.
3H.
- What is it, Abel? - Let’s go.
Ready.
Hey, Gordo, move that ass, we’re leaving.
Ready.
Plinio and Alfredo, you go first.
Come on, quickly.
Hey, can I ask you a question? Another one? What is it that a woman like you sees in a guy like John Jairo? And I apologize for asking this so bluntly, but you are so different.
Look at that.
According to whom? According to the way I see it.
You are pretty.
Decent.
Smart.
- And he - He is my husband.
Yes, but he’s a murderer.
Oh, sir.
You don’t know John.
And you do? Pretty well.
Think of your family, think of Alexandra, think of your son.
How would you like to see them? Alive or dead? Do what you want, I don’t care about them.
Come on, faster.
Come on.
Faster, man.
Faster, faster, bro.
Come on, come on.
Ready, let’s go.
Go on, go on.
Faster.
Where are the others? Don Abel, 3H? They must be on their way.
“Tonight at 9 p.
m.
, the paramilitary will escape through the tunnel in the workshop.
" What is this crap? Rapid Response Unit, to the workshop.
I repeat, Rapid Response Unit, urgently, to the workshop.
Barra, Gonzaga, we’re going to the workshop.
Someone ratted us out! We have to go back, come on.
No, sir.
After all we’ve done to escape.
I don’t intend to stay.
Gordo, get out of here, but it’s your responsibility.
- Yes, sir.
Who’s coming with me? - We’re going with you, boss.
Go on.
- Go on, hurry.
- I’m going with them.
Come on, 3H.
Where are you going? It’s dangerous, 3H.
I can’t stay in this prison.
You know that.
Look, 3H, you’re my responsibility.
I won’t let you get killed.
Come on.
Come on.
Go on, come on.
- Come on, boss, you go first.
- No, you go first.
Come on, come on, but quick, man.
Come on, hard, boss.
- Push.
- I can’t.
Watch out or I’ll be stuck here, man.
- Come on, man.
- I can’t get through.
Freeze! Easy, okay.
Over there, over there.
They’re after us! Get back, get back.
Freeze, hands in the air.
Get down.
Look, Alexandra if you cooperate with some information, we can protect you.
We can send you to the U.
S.
You can start a new life.
From scratch.
Maybe this is a chance for you to forget about the past - and start over.
- It's that easy? Well, not that easy.
Why do you want to remain loyal to a guy who’s not worth two pesos? Is that the future you want? For you, for your future son? You want him to find out that his father’s a murderer and his mother’s a whore? Be very careful, sir.
You owe me respect.
What did you think? That I would fall for a bottle of wine and small talk? - You have me all wrong.
- Oh, I’m not wrong.
You’re the one who's getting it wrong.
You’re so stupid.
You just heard John Jairo’s voice.
He doesn’t give a shit about you and your son.
You’re the one who’s stupid.
And just so you’re clear, I’ll explain because you don’t understand.
- I don’t.
- John said what he had to.
- You don’t say.
- I do.
You can do whatever you want, but you won’t tear us apart, understand? Look, you’re thinking about this all wrong.
Look where he is, and look where you are.
I’m not the enemy.
I’m your safety card.
Can't you see how it is? Can you see it won’t be so easy with me? Perfect.
Don’t waste anymore of your time and get out.
What then? I’m sorry to tell you that John Jairo is being extradited to the United States.
And you just missed the only chance the DEA was offering you.
I thought you were a bit smarter, Alexandra.
- I see that you’re not.
- Get out.
Or do you want another one? Got it? Have a good night.
Goddamn Cuban.
Holy Mary, what a vulgar fellow, darling.
I'd have defended you, but you told me not to come out.
They’re taking such good care of us, right? Let them keep taking care of us like this.
There, there, darling.
Easy.
Come on, Alexandra.
I’ve been looking out at that place you want us to jump from, and it’s very high.
Yes.
So why don’t we do this? Go get the sheets and some towels.
Help me put a rope together.
No, honey.
I will hit the ground so hard - because I’m so heavy - You won’t fall.
If we do it right, nothing will happen to us.
Or should we wait for that moron to come back? How did the count go? From the ones who just got here, we’re missing three.
No, two.
We caught one.
- Any maximum security? - Gordo Robledo, but that one was a casualty back at the entrance of the tunnel.
- You mean there’s casualties? How many? - Two, sir.
Let’s take a walk and see.
Hit it hard.
No need to be careful anymore.
He’s dead already.
Hit it hard, hit it up here.
- Rosa, what’s up? Ready? - Ready, look.
But, just these two? These towels won’t do.
- You said to bring towels.
- These won’t do.
- Go and get more sheets.
- You don’t have to yell.
Please, go and fetch more sheets, okay? Go then, now.
- Here.
It’s not like there’s more.
- This is enough.
Tighten that, Alexandra.
Everybody down.
Twenty-two.
Twenty-three, 24, 25.
You’re too slow.
Quick, come on.
Dueñas, up.
Do you remember the last conversation we had here? Which part, Major? Step forward.
The part where if 3H hadn't shown up, you would've been the first to go.
What are you doing, dumbasses? Get this trash out of here.
Everyone else is on guard duty.
What happened with that, Gonzaga? Because it was a done deal.
No, there were snitches, my Major.
We had to let it go.
Snitches? The snitch better hide or he’ll find trouble with me.
Well, gentlemen, quickly, back to your cell.
Now, gentlemen.
Close that fence there.
Here’s what we’re going to do.
Wrap yourself around this.
Around your feet.
And grab on to it hard.
Hard, mother.
Let’s do it.
- Let’s do it.
- Let’s do it.
- God bless you, darling.
- Okay.
- Go on.
- Let’s see then.
- Oh, my God.
- Okay.
- Careful, Alexandra.
- Yes.
Careful, that’s it.
Very careful, darling.
Go with God.
That’s it.
Hold on hard, dearest.
Oh, my God.
You’re doing good, darling, very good.
That’s it.
Almost there, darling, you’re almost there.
That’s it.
A little more.
- Are you all right? - Oh, yes, let’s go then.
- Look, I’m fine.
Let’s go then.
- Just a little more.
That’s it.
Oh, my blessed God.
- Go on, you can do it.
- No, I’m too scared, Alexandra.
Come on.
- Hold on hard, careful, Mother.
- Oh, my God.
Careful, Rosa, please.
Hold on hard.
There, that’s it.
You’re doing so well.
Oh, my blessed God.
Go on, like that, slowly.
Slowly, slowly.
Slowly.
See how quick that was? Careful.
Oh, Alexandra.
That’s it.
Lean there, and that’s it.
Put your foot there.
That’s it.
See? You did it! Mother.
Hey, Rosa.
Damn it.
What should I do? Answer me, Mother.
No, no, no.
You’re fine.
- Come on, slowly.
- Don’t move me, darling.
Don’t die on me here, please.
Mother, please.
- Tell me where it hurts.
- Careful with my neck.
Your neck hurts? Tell me where it hurts.
Everything hurts, darling.
Let’s get up really slowly.
Okay then.
- Alexandra, my knee.
- What? Does it hurt? - My knee hurts.
- Get up slowly.
Slowly, slowly.
Be careful.
- Alexandra.
- Go on, I’m here.
That’s it, that’s it.
- Oh, Alexandra! - Oh, Mother, please.
We’ll go straight to the hospital.
