Alias J.J. (2017) s01e24 Episode Script

Episode 24

1 A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES THE FOLLOWING IS A FICTIONAL STORY INSPIRED BY SURVIVING ESCOBAR BY JOHN JAIRO VELÁSQUEZ VÁSQUEZ.
CHARACTERS AND SITUATIONS HAVE BEEN ALTERED FOR THIS PROGRAM.
Sources close to the Bureau of Prisons revealed rumors about a prostitution network and abuse of power that involves corrections officers.
Rumors point to Lieutenant Delio Angulo as being responsible for these actions.
He is currently a prison officer and also one of the main candidates to assume the leadership of Capital Prison.
Exactly a year ago, Lieutenant Angulo Perez Delio Marcelo GUARDS REPORT SEXUAL ABUSE BY LIEUTENANT DELIO ANGULO locked me in a cell away from Tunja Prison and forced me to have sex with him.
Lieutenant Angulo Perez threatened me with a weapon, and also to fire me.
This same source confirmed that there are at least two more guards accusing Lieutenant Angulo of these abuses.
Lieutenant Delio Angulo is, allegedly, the head of the prostitution network.
Excuse me, Director.
Angulo, what are they saying on TV? Director, they are lying.
The witness says he can prove that he knows you.
I've been a corrections officer for 15 years.
I know almost everyone.
I have never abused a guard, not that one or any other.
This is a trap, sir.
And a successful one.
The charges are very serious.
They're talking about a prostitution network.
I honestly don't know anything about any network.
You know that I've never abused my power, and you also know my record.
You know that I'm clean.
Look, the problem is that if you represent yourself, you'll waste a lot of time researching, meetings, hearings.
Years may pass before you can clean up your image in the eyes of the public.
I am ready to face whatever comes my way, sir, since I don't have anything to hide.
I'm sorry, you will have to defend yourself away from Capital Prison.
Excuse me.
Mr.
Molina, if you deny me your support at this time, you'll destroy me, along with my entire career.
I know this is complicated, but it's impossible to promote you to a management position when you're involved in such a scandal.
My duty is to protect this institution.
Mónica, this is strange.
It's such a coincidence that Lieutenant Angulo's scandal broke right after you did the impossible to keep Clemente as warden of Capital Prison.
Too much onion for my taste.
I have a different approach to this situation, Ignacio.
It seems to me that what happened is best for everyone.
The sex scandal surfaced right before - Angulo.
- Angulo, right.
Before Angulo was appointed as the warden of Capital Prison.
What does this mean? One less problem for the Bureau, right? Mónica, as a friend, I don't care if you had something to do with the scandal, or your reasons for keeping Clemente as director, but I'll tell you this Clemente is not the only person we have in line to lead the prison.
Oh, he isn't? That's good news for Capital Prison, Ignacio.
Cheers.
Cheers.
CAPITAL PRISON How little fight you have, Clemente.
You're throwing in the towel just as we're taking pains to give you your job back.
Look, ma'am.
I haven't asked you for any favors.
And I don't want to know what you've done in order to keep me in that position.
Stop behaving like an altar boy, Clemente.
You know better than anyone that sometimes you have to play rough.
Play rough? Is that what they call it now when you cover up a crime? I don't know what you're complaining about.
I'm not asking you to commit a crime, am I? You already know the answer, ma'am.
Why don't you put your conscience aside and we play our last card to get you your job back? Right, so Velásquez may come back to this prison.
That's the deal.
We're all going to win.
You, my client.
Your brother-in-law, Danilo Pineda, and your partner.
They will all benefit.
Because, if you're the director, they'll have protection, won't they? Do not present this as if you are doing me a favor.
Show me your last card instead.
My last card? It's the ticket to success, Clemente.
Please tell me, how many wardens of the Capital Prison have dreamed about signing a peace agreement between the paramilitary and the guerrillas? You will be all over the media as the man who did the impossible.
It'll go down in history.
You don't convince me with your mumbo jumbo, considering all the dirt that surrounds you.
But I must honor the deal we made.
That's what matters.
Together, we'll pull it off.
You'll see.
These lawyers are sneaky.
They don't give anything for nothing.
GUERRILLA CELLBLOCK Why is this lady messing with the prison's affairs? Especially, now that our friend J.
J.
is in Valledupar.
I don't know, I'm only the messenger.
PARAMILITARY CELLBLOCK Commander, I have a message from Mónica Machado.
- J.
J.
's attorney? - Yes, sir.
She says that, although Popeye isn't at Capital Prison, the peace proposal still stands and that she'll keep her word.
If you choose to sign the treaty with Commander Galeno, the director will allow you to open any legal business you wish here in prison.
Thank you very much.
VALLEDUPAR CITY PRISON Come on.
Let's go inside.
Come on, let's go.
Come on, move.
Come on.
Get in.
Move.
Come on.
Come on, let's go.
You and I joined the guerrillas as a matter of principle, ideals, commitment, and vision.
And for all those darned notions, we left absolutely everything, including our own families, didn't we? Agreed.
- But the chain of command comes first.
- Oh, fuck the chain of command.
Fuck it.
The cause is above the chain of command.
And we can't fuck over the cause.
This peace agreement is humiliating, comrade.
It's a mockery.
- But it's an order from Commander Galeno.
- Precisely.
That's the point.
Galeno is selling us out.
I think it's time that we remove Galeno from the leadership.
- Do you know what that means? - Yes, and I'm willing to risk everything.
Give me your support, pal, and I promise, I swear, that we won't be alone.
I know, I swear.
I think we can start with the article about the prison guard.
- Is it ready? - Yes, it is.
Good.
Do we have any other articles about the prisoners? Thank you.
"The united cellblock inmates will show the Colombian society their commitment to peace.
" Peace? What is this? PARAMILITARY CELLBLOCK - Are you sure of this? - Completely, sir.
Well.
They just killed Galeno.
It's been confirmed.
- Is it serious, Commander? - Of course it's serious.
We can't negotiate a peace treaty without knowing who we'll be negotiating with.
It's too risky unless we armed ourselves.
Sir, the unit has sharp weapons that we can use to attack them.
Al right.
I want the unit armed and ready.
If there's going to be bloodshed, it won't be our blood, understood? - Yes, sir.
- Let's carry on with the plan.
- Quickly.
- I'm on it.
DAYS LATER We will begin this court-martial against comrade Elmer Garcia.
We will demonstrate that he committed an act of insubordination and high treason against the Colombian revolutionary movement.
- Good, all of you may speak here.
- Restrain him, please.
- We'll begin the court-martial.
- Let me go.
Let me see what you have.
Very well.
That's good.
I didn't join the guerrillas to kiss the ass of these fucking militiamen.
No, sir.
I armed myself to fight them and to end the shit that is fucking up this country.
I'm not going to throw away the ideals I have fought for all these years just because you, the Commander, are asking me to so.
No, sir.
And you shouldn't do it either.
This person is betraying us.
He's wrong.
He's selling out the revolution.
He's selling us to the highest bidder.
We have the right, the duty, and the power to remove him from leadership.
Partners and comrades, I have the direct order to sign an agreement with the paramilitary.
If any of you don't agree, you'll have to replace all the council members first.
Who is willing to do that? Who? No one? This revolutionary court-martial sentences comrade Elmer Garcia to death for high treason and insubordination.
The sentence cannot be enforced at this moment.
Therefore, we will keep him under strict surveillance until further notice.
VALLEDUPAR CITY PRISON Water! Hey, dogs, water! Hey, sons of bitches.
Water! CAPITAL PRISON PARAMILITARY AND GUERRILLA PEACE TREATY - Nice to see you.
- Thanks.
Nice to see you.
How are you? Thank you.
Please, sit down.
- Lieutenant, nice to see you.
- Thanks.
This way.
- General, this way, please.
- Thank you.
- Nice to see you, ma'am.
- Director.
Sir.
General General, nice to see you.
Sir, thanks for joining us.
Thank for being here.
PARAMILITARY CELLBLOCK Mr.
Abel.
Torres, tell Clemente the following, please We're not going to sign any treaty.
I'll do as you tell me, sir, but I have a message from Commander Galeno.
He says that the rebel guerrilla won't need this watch anymore.
Now that the outbreak has been eradicated, you can rest easy.
And also, that they are ready to sign whenever you want.
Door.
Excuse me, gentlemen, excuse me.
Excuse me, gentlemen.
Move over.
Excuse me, gentlemen, excuse me.
Excuse me, gentlemen, excuse me.
Excuse me.
Who is this man? Excuse me, Director, this is inmate Elmer Garcia.
What's going on here? Elmer revolted and tried to encourage the troops to oppose the treaty.
The guy wanted to sabotage the event.
But don't worry, everything is under control.
Elmer is going to be locked up until you sign the agreement.
Sir, I'm not going to say anything right now because of this event.
But after, you and I will have a talk.
I'm the only one who decides the punishments here.
If anything happens to this man, if he disappears or anything else, you'll have to answer to me, understood? Yes, sir.
Now make sure your people are ready.
The event is about to begin.
Pineda.
Make sure these people don't ruin anything.
Yes, sir.
Excuse me, gentlemen.
Give him more water.
Where is Mahecha? I'm wondering the same thing.
You better find him soon.
We can't make fools of ourselves in front of the entire country.
What do you want? That I make him sign the treaty handcuffed? There he is.
Don't give them a chance to change their minds.
Let's begin.
Gentlemen.
Honorable Justice Department Director, army commanders, press members, and inmates.
I welcome you to this important event for Capital Prison and the country.
This administration has the pleasure to inform you that the efforts of many months of work have borne fruit today.
Today, we sign the peace agreement, gentlemen.
Here at the Capital Prison, we stand before two abysmally opposed factions who are ready to sign a peace treaty.
This is the first step to assume that both guerrilla and paramilitary groups are willing to compromise.
MINISTRY OF JUSTICE Clemente.
I've been told that your dismissal was withdrawn and that you'll remain the warden of Capital Prison.
Congratulations.
Look, ma'am.
I spoke with the Director.
I told him that it had been a huge mistake to request the transfer of J.
J.
to Valledupar, that it wasn't safe.
In fact, I told him that he was behind the prison's agreement, and requested his transfer to Bogota.
- That's all I can do.
- Very well.
I only hope that your power of conviction works just as well to get him out.
Guess what? I'll help you do your job.
Because I also came here to press for J.
J.
's return to Bogota.
Well, considering your circle of friends, miss, I'm sure there's a lot of pressure.
And you know what? You and I are even.
I'll receive Velásquez, but if he ever commits a crime again, I will, personally, hunt him down.
Excuse me, ma'am.
VALLEDUPAR CITY PRISON MOUNTAINS OF COLOMBIA Excuse me, Commander.
Rumor has it that certain people are nervous about the treaty.
And what are they saying? That other paramilitary leaders are concerned.
And that you authorized them.
Fuck them.
Look, sir, with all due respect, why don't you make them believe that it's all about the money? That it's a temporary truce.
That it's false.
That we need them to regroup.
Sanabria, I don't have to give explanations to anyone.
They'll have to stick their doubts up their asses when I present them with Galeno's head on a platter.
What are you doing there, laying down like worms? On your feet, quickly.
Attention.
CAPITAL PRISON Did you miss this, Mr.
Velásquez? DRUG TRAFFICKERS CELLBLOCK This is to show you that you can't do whatever you want.
I am watching you.
One mistake and I'll send you back to Valledupar.
This was a lesson for you to learn some respect.
Door.
Bring Velásquez in.
Come on.
Hey, be strong.
Hey, snap out of it.
Eat something.
It's okay.
Slow down.
Easy, relax.
Even this shit tastes good now.
- What about my stuff? - We took care of your stuff.
Everything has been packed.
Haven't you noticed how neat everything is? What's up, Popeye? Enjoy.
How was your vacation? You didn't get tan.
Now that you have time, I need you to run the errand we have pending.
Talk to the lawyer to find out what her problem is.
Sure.
Leave it to me.
Very well, pal.
Cheer up John Jairo, the peace agreement has been beneficial, hasn't it? We have carte blanche.
Inmates may assemble and operate their own businesses.
It's good news no matter how you see it.
Look.
For each day of work, we forgive half a day in jail.
It's a done deal.
So It'll also improve the relationship between leaders of different cellblocks.
There's another problem.
His name is Iván Urrego.
That dog is pushing me.
He is harassing me to convince you to defend him.
I already did that kiss ass job.
I won't do it again, not with Iván or anyone else.
So, what you need to do.
Use your contacts to send him to another prison.
Talk to him.
Even better, send him to fucking hell.
Please, just get him off my back.
Leave Iván Urrego to me.
Don't worry about it.
Why are you searching my stuff? - I've got my orders, lady.
- Orders.
Orders, faggot.
Inés, a drink.
Make it a double, please.
Orders, orders.
Orders my ass.
Inés.
Shit.
Guess what? A boat.
A very large cruise.
As well as an 18-story building that has water slides, pools.
I'll build restaurants with a lot of employees.
And you know what else? A super cool whorehouse.
- I'll manage it for you.
- Sure.
What about you? Well My dream is to fly an airplane.
That is my wish.
AVIATION SCHOOL UNITED AIR I'm fine winning or losing.
And this time, Urrego, I admit my defeat.
That means That means that I'll work as your attorney again.
But only under certain conditions.
It depends on whether I can meet them, love.
No more sexual advances.
No more gifts and invitations to drink in your cell.
Is that clear? - Do you know what, Mónica? - What? Unlike you, I'm a sore loser.
In fact, today I'm losing a little bit.
But they got me by the balls.
Therefore, I must work with you.
Does that mean you accept my conditions? That means that once again I'm your client.
Very well.
Hope it works.
- Put it on my tab, okay? - Sure.
CAPITAL PRISON DRUG TRAFFICKERS CELLBLOCK What comes next is good for us.
Let's take advantage of the businesses authorized by Clemente.
Yes, but it won't be through selling empanadas or combs, right? Calm down, friend, okay? Detective, if this is the only way Danilo has to reduce his sentence, he'll do it.
But I need guarantees.
I need to know my brother is going to be all right.
What I'd like is if your brother developed the guts to decide for himself.
This is a risky operation.
Detective Duran? Yes.
All right, then I accept to spy on Popeye.
- Good.
- Good.
So what do you want me to do? Do I have to sign something, record something? This is going to be between us, got it? I need you to follow up with John Jairo.
You must give me all the information the man has.
The time he wakes up, who he speaks to, his plans, absolutely everything.
Look, Detective.
I don't know I do want to do the job.
I don't know if you know that Popeye isn't an idiot.
He doesn't release information to anyone just like that.
Don't be stupid, then.
You must earn the man's trust.
You won't be able to do anything from afar.
Detective, entering J.
J.
's circle is very dangerous.
I think we must find a way to protect him from within.
Don't you think we should send two undercover detectives? Don't you think that if I had detectives, I would've sent them already? This operation has risks and your brother has to take them.
Clear? Door.
EMERGENCY - Allow me, ma'am.
- Sir.
- It's necessary to check the wound.
- Yes.
- This way, please.
- Thank you.
- And you sir? - I'm with the lady.
I'm sorry, but just the patient.
Wait here, please.
- Popeye.
- Let's see.
- I need you to help me.
- This isn't a charity, dude.
Popeye.
I need you to protect me.
Look, Urrego's thugs already hit me up.
They took the few things I had.
They're charging me for the cot, okay? - Help me.
- That's how jail works, friend.
Look, boss, I don't have dough, but I can pay you with work.
I'm a hard worker.
This is none of my business, okay? Look, I am loyal, I I'll do whatever you want.
Go check Cellblock Seven.
I'll do my rounds, make sure everything's okay.
I need you to get me information about a new inmate, Danilo.
- How much longer will it take, doctor? - We're almost done.
Wow, the cut was quite large.
- Do you think so? - Yes.
Yes, I do.
Well, I'm going to see other patients.
I'll come back with the MRI scan.
- Excuse me.
- Excuse me.
Thank you.
Good.
Ms.
Machado, you may take the hood off now.
This is a real pleasure, Ms.
Machado.
- How are you, Genaro? - It's good to have you here.
- Thank you.
- How was your trip? - Good.
- This way.
Please.
Did the boys treat you well? Very well, sir.
I apologize for the extreme safety precautions, but you know how this works, don't you? - Don't worry.
- This way.
I understand the situation.
- Please, have a seat.
- Thank you.
Your references are excellent.
I was told that you took part in the agreement at the Capital Prison.
Also, that your clients include some very important people in this area, like my friend, Iván Urrego.
And that you helped J.
J.
Velásquez.
Yes, sir.
That's true.
Excellent, ma'am, because In my situation, as you may know I will need all of the help and legal advice I can get.
Very well.
As I understand, you're asking me to be your attorney.
Exactly.
Therefore, I imagine you want to make a deal with the Prosecution.
Yes, I want to turn myself in.
But not for free.
So, I would like you to start negotiating on my behalf, but under my terms.
Of course, sir.
- I'm listening.
- Therefore, I demand not to be extradited, and also that they don't fuck with my family.
I want to serve my sentence here in the Valle del Cauca.
Boss, listen to me.
The lady hit her head.
She was bleeding and all.
Bleeding my ass.
What was the first thing I warned you about? I told you to be careful, because Lorenza is a smart cookie, bro.
Don't worry.
We'll start searching all over the city.
No, you moron, don't look for her in the city.
Look for her in the Valle del Cauca.
You'll find her there.
All right, sir.
We'll go there now.
Look, pal, remember this.
I need you to do your job well.
Don't be so inept.
Otherwise, I'm going to fire you.
Do you know how? The same way I asked you to fire Lorenza's driver.
You do remember, don't you? CAPITAL PRISON NATIONAL PROSECUTOR These belong to Romero.
Look, here is where they came from.
The Cali Airport nonetheless.
This bitch knows how to choose her clients.
That's the point, Duran.
The attorney will lead us to Romero.
I don't know.
I'm not so sure we should put her in danger.
You won't put anyone in danger.
We'll keep her away from the operation, period.
There's nothing to think about, bro.
If Romero is speaking with her, it means he wants to cut a deal with the law.
If he gets there before us, we'll be left empty-handed and we'll be screwed.
- What are you going to do? - Relax.
- What are you going to do? - Relax.
Potro sent me.
- Get closer.
- Potro sent me.
Come, quickly.
Up here.
Reach out.
- Calm down.
- Behind the sign.
Mr.
Romero wishes to remain in Jamundi's prison.
He won't accept a sentence longer than ten years.
Mónica, if I ask the President for a ten year sentence for Romero, he'll tell me to go to hell.
No, the President will put you on a pedestal if you bring him the most wanted drug lord in the country.
If you handle this right, your career will take off.
If it looks like I'm helping the Cali cartel, I'll be in the eye of the storm and so will the President.
No, you won't.
This is different, because you won't be helping a criminal.
You'll help put an end to one of the country's largest drug cartels.
It doesn't matter how I present it.
The gringos will single me out as the one who helped a drug lord avoid extradition.
Well, there are always ways to please everyone.
I can give you the tools and enough evidence to extradite Iván Urrego.
- Will you turn in your client? - Let's just say that he made a mistake when he chose me as his attorney.
And I guess it'll be an even exchange.
And then? Of course.
I'll give you Urrego after the negotiations with Genaro Romero.
Eat, you haven't eaten anything.
