It's a river-litre radio,
an amplitude-modulated
signal that communicates
Colombia to the world.
Pay close attention.
Colombia wakes up to tragic news
that obscures the presidential campaign.
Once again, the violent use their weapons
to silence and strike fear in society.
[instrumental music playing]
This evening, in Soacha,
Luis Carlos Galn was
shot five times during a campaign event.
Witnesses claim armed
gunmen opened fire at 8:45 p.m.
The cameraman, Jesus Calderon, who was...
[suspenseful music]
Good afternoon.
Is something wrong?
How do you do?
Okay.
You're not from around here.
I've never seen him before.
You guys, have you seen
the gentleman around here?
Oh, no.
No idea from the master.
Documentation.
There's a lot of red here
and we have to be on the ball.
Sure.
[suspenseful music]
Red is?
Communist, neighbor.
Oh.
A lot of communists.
[suspenseful music]
R affirmative.
The Dodge Polara has
already been screened here.
MAN 2 (ON RADIO): Blue?
Yes, sir.
Blue.
Done.
Yes, sir.
[suspenseful music]
[g*nsh*t]
Affirmative, sir.
[suspenseful music]
Mr. David Gutierrez?
MAN 1: Yeah.
You're the new judge
they're waiting for in town.
You should've told us from the start.
[laughing]
Let's go, guys.
[striking the vehicle]
[failed starts]
[vehicle start]
The cameraman, Jess
Caldern, who was next to Galn,
claims that he didn't
have any head injuries.
Mr. Galn was treated at the
National Board of Surveillance and the
medical staff reported that the
time of death was at 10:00 p.m.
Among the victims of the attack
were Soacha councilman Julio.
Csar Pealoza Sanchez and
bodyguard Santiago Cuervo.
PRIEST (FURTHER): Likewise, when
dinner was done, he took the chalice
and giving you thanks again,
passed it on to his disciples saying,
take it, all of you drink from
it, for this is the chalice of my
blood, blood of the new and
everlasting covenant, which shall be
shed for you and for many
for the forgiveness of sins...
[suspenseful music]
[tel buzzer]
[suspenseful music]
Good?
There's no service today.
If you want, come back tomorrow.
I'm David Gutierrez, your replacement.
Adolfo Suarez.
[classical music playing]
This is my favorite part, doctor.
Have you heard it?
Schubert's A Major Sonata.
It's so nice to meet people
who love good music.
All right, doctor.
I've been working my whole
life waiting for this moment,
but when it comes,
it's not easy to take in.
Yes, sir.
But it's good that she's resting now.
[coughing]
Yes, it's time.
It's yours.
Thank you.
I'm not going to teach you
anything you don't already know.
Roco will take care of everything else.
She's very efficient.
You'll see.
[close chatter]
You are cordially invited
to this evening's event.
Do you know the history
of this town, doctor?
Oh, no.
When the g*nf*re starts, just do what
that cat did and find a place to hide.
[close chatter]
"National Reconstruction Movement.
BRUNETTE."
When I got to town, I was
stopped by some guys with g*ns.
The Crow's people.
The crow?
Yeah.
He organized all the people here.
They call it counterinsurgency.
I just call them criminals.
MAN (On PA: Come and have a...
You want some advice, doc?
Yeah.
If you don't ask too many questions,
I assure you, you'll grow old like me.
Neighbor, I love you for being
Colombian and I love you for being Morena.
And the Raven, who is he?
Is there a process going
on here or something?
Who?
The Raven.
I don't know who you're talking about.
[upbeat music]
Well, that's enough of that.
[upbeat music]
I drink this bottoms up
without making a face.
What's up?
What's up?
[laughing]
Oh, no.
I'm in where I'm supposed to be.
[upbeat music]
[applause]
MUJER: Another one.
Another one.
[static]
Ladies, gentlemen.
Responsibility to the
future summons us today.
A future that appears with an
air of change, of development,
but above all, with an air of rebuilding.
[suspenseful music]
The National Reconstruction
Movement will be the
cure for that sinister virus of subversion.
[suspenseful music]
[gibbering]
A virus that attacks the peace and
order of our families and our region.
[applause]
Sacred is life, sacred is property.
And we're not gonna let either
one of them get taken away from us.
[applause]
I love you for being Colombian,
and I love you for being Morena.
AUDIENCIA: BRUNETTE.
BRUNETTE.
BRUNETTE.
BRUNETTE.
BRUNETTE.
BRUNETTE.
BRUNETTE.
[squeaking]
[keys jingling]
[door closes]
[bug sounds]
[suspenseful music]
If I asked you to leave
Bogot, what would you say?
[melancholy music]
To your health, Gutierrez.
To your health.
[suspenseful music]
[sound of vehicle]
[door closes]
[knocking on door]
Dr. Gutierrez.
Nice to meet you.
Ismael Mateus, at your service.
Thank you.
As soon as they told me
the new judge was here, I
knew we had to give him
the welcome he deserves.
We thought we'd meet
you at the event in the
plaza, but it seems you're more reserved.
Am I interrupting?
Oh, no.
Oh, no.
Oh.
You capitalists and your eccentricities.
[laughing]
But don't worry.
We're all entitled to our
eccentricities and our drinking alone.
Of course.
Um...
I was just having a drink.
No, I didn't expect to find us...
I mean, what a shame.
With all due respect, I was having a drink.
[laughing]
He's had a few?
Because of what he's drinking for 2.
He's got two glasses.
Oops.
You, the Capitalinos.
Well, look, I'll get out of your hair.
I brought you this to show
you the quality of the people
we are here in the region, how kind we are.
My wife took them.
Well, we'll get out of your hair.
Get some rest.
Thank you.
Sometimes you do things you
don't know why you do them.
[chuckles]
I can imagine.
Let's go.
[doors closing]
[sound of vehicle]
[suspenseful music]
[quiet music]
So where do you see
yourself in a couple of years?
In my courtroom.
In a large chair with thin leather-lined
cushions and a cedar desk.
And a lamp with bronze sconces.
[chuckles]
What about me?
You what?
The lamp, the chair, the desk,
and I'm nowhere to be found.
You'll be wherever you want.
[quiet music]
[bell ringing]
That lamp has magic in it.
I'll show you.
Right.
That device has seen
better days, that's for sure.
Like everything around here.
Is something wrong, doctor?
Roco, can you tell me who the Cuervo is?
ROCIO: Oh, doctor, I wish I knew.
Not even the police station will
tell you anything about that man.
All I know is that he made
a deal with the guerrilla, they
split up the region and
agreed not to sh**t each other.
That's why those people
don't come down here.
That's all I know about the rest.
Right.
HOST (ON RADIO): Classic AM 810 amplitude.
Can I get you anything else, doctor?
No, don't worry, I'll take
this out today or tomorrow.
Tomorrow, doctor?
Candles night tomorrow.
Don't tell me you're going to work.
Why don't you come out with me and
have a drink to get your mind off work?
Plus, he shaves while he's at it.
[explosions]
[upbeat music]
Hello, doctor.
Go on.
Good night.
What's up?
Nice to meet you.
I'd like you to meet my boss.
Don't make me look bad.
Francisco Mateus.
David Gutirrez.
Nice to meet you.
Camila.
How do you do?
Thank you.
Hey, Daniel, four beers.
[upbeat music]
Mateus told me?
Yes, Francisco.
Francisco Mateus.
Do you know Ismael Mateus?
Yeah, that's my dad.
Why?
Do you know him?
Yeah.
I pass by the house.
He stopped by to say hi.
We exchanged a few words.
I'm sure he showed up unannounced.
That's how he is.
[upbeat music]
It's on me tonight.
I love that one.
Do you dance, doctor?
Oops.
Uh...
Don't do that to me.
Come on, Doctor.
Being asked to dance
doesn't happen every night.
Okay.
[upbeat music]
Shall we dance?
I don't want to.
Come on.
I don't want to.
What's the problem now?
That face.
Roco will notice.
I want to go.
But why?
I want to go.
But why?
Just because.
I want to go.
I don't want to be here.
[upbeat music]
Why don't you want to?
Then why are we here?
[upbeat music]
[bang]
[upbeat music]
ROCIO: Did something happen?
I'll talk to you later.
I can't take this place anymore.
[upbeat music]
If you want, go with your
friend and I'll go home alone.
I don't have a problem with that.
They'll be fine by tomorrow.
That's how lovers' quarrels are.
[upbeat music]
You know this love I have is only
for you.That's the part I like the most.
And you don't listen to me.
Please... WOMAN ( VOICE-OVER):
And I'm nowhere to be found.
[upbeat music]
DAVID ( VOICE-OVER): You're
gonna be wherever you want to be.
Ouch.
Doctor, are you all right?
Ouch.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Sorry, sorry, sorry.
We can leave if you want.
Maybe a little fresh air will do you good.
[upbeat music]
Well, yeah.
Let's go.
It's okay.
[upbeat music]
[explosions]
Well, doctor, thank you
for accompanying me.
Are you sure you can get home okay?
Yes, don't worry.
BOY (SCREAMING): One dead.
A dead man.
A dead man.
[suspenseful music]
[voice on radio]
[suspenseful music]
[sobs]
Some friend I turned out to be.
While they were k*lling her,
I just stood there, dancing.
Roco, the police told me that
Camila didn't have any family in town,
so I don't know if you know anyone
who can tell them what happened.
Oh, no.
She didn't talk much about her family.
He got here about a year ago and set
up the general store next to the plaza.
He said it was with money
from an inheritance or something.
I can't quite remember now.
She was very nice, you know, doctor?
Anyway, it's not common
for someone so young
to run a business and not have a family.
[suspenseful music]
[knocking on door]
Go ahead.
I'd like to say good
morning, doctor, but the
situation is not ready for formalities.
Will we ever be able to
live in peace in this region?
Two years ago, 10 of our neighbors were
k*lled over there at Bejucales Alto.
Men, women.
Then who k*lled them?
What do you mean, who?
The bandits.
Those communists who
hang out in the shadows.
Those who hide in the bush
and only come out to do damage.
The same people who probably have my boy.
Mr. Ismael, your son
was the last person with
Camila Barragn, and now Camila's dead.
Then I don't know, do you
know where Francisco is?
My son is not a m*rder*r.
I raised a good person.
He's not capable of k*lling
anyone, much less his girlfriend.
What I can't say about those bandits.
They're the worst.
The kidnapping of my
son is nothing more than
political retaliation for our movement.
You know, they want to shut us up.
Those people only know how to sh**t.
They're afraid of debate.
I know them.
Glory be to God we
have justice on our side.
Right, doctor?
[suspenseful music]
I'm out.
ISMAEL: Girl.
[suspenseful music]
Roco, stop torturing yourself with that.
Sorry, doctor.
I know I shouldn't be looking at
those pictures, but you understand.
Yeah.
Of course I understand.
Go get some rest and I'll
see you tomorrow, okay?
[melancholy music]
You and I are definitely not the same.
Look, I swear that in one
year I'll be out of this pigsty
and the only ones who'll
be left are the boss and you.
[classical music playing]
[groans]
Hello.
HOMBRE: Let's go.
No diminutives, please.
What's that? What did I miss?
Didn't you hear?
Gutierrez is leaving the court.
I've been appointed judge.
[classical music playing]
Cardona!
Uh-oh.
[breathing heavily]
Oh, sh*t.
Uh-oh.
[knocking on door]
ROCIO: Doctor?
They need you.
May I have a moment, please?
SALGAR: Doc.
Salgar, how are you?
Tell me.
I'm calling to inform you that we've
arrested someone for the girl's death.
Ernesto Agudelo, doctor.
I'm the kid's public defender.
David Gutirrez.
The agents left him like that?
Let's adjourn the minutes, Madam Secretary.
The young man, Santiago Ramos Caicedo,
identified with the ID of citizenship
19,84,2225, and is, from now on,
the detainee, claims that his arrest
was carried out without
violence or excessive force.
The detainee is asked to
describe the events that took place
on the night of December 7th
of the current year, which led
to the violent death of
citizen Camila Barragn.
Are you transferring me to Bogot?
Oh, no.
This whole process is under
the jurisdiction of this city.
Bogot has nothing to do with it.
But I'd rather be there, you know?
Can you tell me what happened that night?
The girl came out of the...
Of the tavern, and I...
And I followed her to a paddock.
She was with a guy.
Could you identify him?
Francisco Mateos, the son of Ismael Mateos.
Francis, listen to me.
Francisco, listen to me, please...
I don't want to hear anything else.
Go away.
[suspenseful music]
They fought and...
And after the fight, they
f*cked for each other.
DAVID: And do you know
where Mr. Francisco Mateus is?
No idea.
[suspenseful music]
Francis.
Francisco, I'm sorry.
Hey, hey. Did something happen to you?
Don't f*ck with me.
Hey, hey.
Hey, don't be like that. I just wanted to...
I don't want to.
I don't want to.
You're still angry, honey.
Oh, no.
[suspenseful music]
[groans]
Shh. Shh.
[suspenseful music]
[groans]
[slimy sound]
Can you tell me where
Camila Barragn was wounded?
Here.
[suspenseful music]
The detainee claims he
stabbed Camila Barragn
with a knife around her kidneys.
I think that's enough.
We'll take care of the rest in court.
Thank you.
All right.
[suspenseful music]
What do you think, doctor?
I think we have to keep
investigating because the boy Mateus
doesn't show up, and
to me, he's still a suspect.
I think there's enough evidence
to charge Ramos, don't you think?
My client is willing to cooperate
with your office, Doctor.
Anything to get a reduced
sentence and speed up the process.
Sure.
Commander, thank you very much.
And if anything happens,
I'll keep you posted.
Well, excuse me.
Go on.
Doctor, you do know that...
Shh. Shh.
Not here.
Everything that boy said is a lie.
Camila didn't have any wounds on her torso.
Only a scared person
would make up such a story.
It's just that they didn't even
take the time to organize the story.
Why didn't you say anything to the police?
Roco, did you see how Caicedo
and Ramos' lawyer were doing?
They were more concerned with
the conviction than defending him.
That means there's someone behind all this.
Go on, doctor.
Thank you.
Mrs. Ins, how long has
Miss Camila been living here?
About six months now, give or take.
Poor girl.
And such a good tenant she was.
Not once was he late with the rent.
[suspenseful music]
So weird.
Weird how?
There's no merchandise, just empty boxes.
Well, yeah.
It's weird that she has a general
store and I don't have any merchandise.
But Mrs. Ins said he
always paid the rent very well.
Let's look around and
see if we can find anything.
[suspenseful music]
Do you know him?
Daniel Torres?
He's a friend of Francis'.
He works at the tavern
we were at that night.
You'll have to ask that
Libia lady for this money.
Hello.
Doc.
Mr. Ismael.
Good to see you.
I heard the good news.
DAVID: Really?
Well, it's good news,
because my son isn't here.
Praise the Lord, they caught that animal.
The things that some
human beings are capable of.
Tell me, Doctor, what brings you here?
I already said everything,
but if you want me to expand.
No, Don Ismael.
I'm guessing that guy's already on trial.
I mean, I'm not well-versed in
law, but since the guy confessed.
Look at that.
News travels fast in this town, doesn't it?
Mr. Ismael, I can't give you
details about the process, but I
can assure you that talking
about a trial is a bit premature.
Premature, doctor?
Let's see, justice has
a limp, but that's not it.
Pour the doctor a drink over there.
Double shot.
I remembered you drink for 2.
Just one.
Thank you.
[muzak music playing]
Cheers.
Mr. Ismael.
If you need me, I'll be
downstairs doing inventory.
Hey, hey.
Can I talk to you for a second?
I didn't come to talk to you, Mr. Ismael.
It's just that we ran into
each other is a coincidence.
I'm here to talk to him.
Alone.
I'll leave you two alone.
Excuse me.
Alone.
[muzak music playing]
Tell me, doctor.
What can I do for you?
Let's see.
I need you to answer a question.
I want to know your
relationship with the Mateoous.
Mr. Ismael owns this tavern.
I've been running it since...
Since my dad was k*lled.
And his dad was k*lled...
I mean, with all due respect.
Who k*lled him?
Who else would it be?
The guerrillas.
Right.
You're not here to talk
about my family, are you?
Let me save you some time.
I don't know where Francisco is
and that's what I told the police.
My friend is missing and I'd
give anything to see him again.
Him and Camila.
She was a friend too.
Very good.
Thank you so much.
Excuse me.
[muzak music playing]
MUJER: Hello.
Hello.
[suspenseful music]
I'm not hungry right now.
[suspenseful music]
Okay.
Done.
So, Cardona, are you going to lunch?
We're going to meet up with
the girls and go around the corner.
Cheer up.
No, I have a lot of work to do.
I'll go out and have something to eat.
Oh, okay.
Oh, well.
When you gotta work, you gotta work.
That's right.
Cardona, I think you should go to
my house today to clear your head.
I can't.
I have to work.
Brother, don't play hard to get.
In fact, it's you who should
be inviting me, not me you.
Let's do something.
If you go, I'll help you with all this work
and maybe you'll leave at a decent hour.
Thank you.
Think about it.
See you.
Did you like it?
Oh, no.
I'm scared of these animals.
Scared?
Mm-hm.
It's a dignified animal, or at
least that's what people say.
People are always making things up.
The village children used
to say that the scorpion
would rather sting itself than catch fire.
But I don't know.
I never confirmed it.
I've always left it to the imagination.
Ooh, ooh, ooh.
Ouch.
Ouch.
Doctor, doctor, doctor.
Careful, Gutierrez.
Come on.
[groans]
Dr. Gutierrez, I think
it's better if you go to bed.
Yes?
I don't want to lose my job.
[laughing]
[suspenseful music]
Hi.
What happened?
It smells terrible.
Where have you been?
I was just having a few drinks.
Like who?
If I may ask.
With the people in the office.
Can I use your bathroom, please?
[vomit]
[suspenseful music]
[coughing]

[voices over tv]
WOMAN (By Tel): Hello?
Hello?
Hello?
[street chatter]
Thank you, Salgar.
If I need you, I'll call you.
Doctor, the orders are that I don't...
Aren't you scared to sit so close?
Oh, no.
RAMOS: What about the secretary?
We don't need it today.
Let's just say this
isn't an official visit.
So you've learned to do
things like that judge before.
I don't understand what you're saying.
Besides, I'm not here to talk about that.
If you reviewed at least
one of that man's sentences,
you might find out what's going on.
If I were you, I'd be worried
about what's coming your way.
Why?
You're gonna offer me a deal
to get my sentence reduced...
Or how does it work again?
Oh, no.
I just want to know how
someone could tell a lie
that could send him to jail for many years.
Hmm?
How did Camila die?
I told you, I stabbed her.
CARDONA: Where?
From behind.
Hmm.
Suddenly I'm the one who's confused.
I need your help.
[suspenseful music]
You know what I'm gonna do?
I'm going to call Salgar
and tell him to open the
cell so you can go out
and people can see you.
Oh, no.
Don't do that.
Oh.
Who are you covering for?
[suspenseful music]
Or I have to believe the
people on the street, the people
who are saying that you
and your friends are...
You know what I mean?
Doctor, I'm not with the guerrilla.
Something tells me the only way to keep you
alive is to keep you locked up in here.
I don't want him k*lled.
[suspenseful music]
Get out.
Doc.
La Serena Estate, 1980.
Thank you.
After a violent escalation earlier
this year, former presidential
candidate Bernardo Jaramillo
Ossa has stated that there have been
allegations to his supporters
at an event he's hosting.
BERNARDO JARAMILLO OSSA
(ON RADIO): There is no talking
about peace without
being consistent with the...
ROCIO: Oh, doctor, you
should have called me.
Look at that mess.
Ouch.
I'm looking for a file and nothing.
Does Serena ring a bell?
ROCIO: What year?
Eighty.
ROCIO: It's like 10 years of that process.
[knocking on door]
Sorry.
Am I interrupting?
Is this a bad time?
If you want, I can organize all this and
give you the file you're looking for.
I need to talk to you about something
important, something delicate.
ROCIO: Excuse me.
Girl.
CARDONA: Go ahead.
Thank you.
Tell me, Mr. Ismael.
I'll be brief, doctor.
I need to know how
justice is going to proceed
with this Santiago Ramos thing.
Don't get me wrong.
If I could switch places with
my son, I would, but we have
to send a clear, decisive
message to those th*gs.
Sure.
But we're going to proceed
like any other detainee.
If the boy committed the crime,
then he's in for a world of hurt.
Can I be frank with you, doctor?
Yeah.
I look at you and I ask myself, what's a
guy like you doing in a town like this?
A guy like me?
Yeah.
I say that because you're from the
capital, educated, sophisticated.
I'm a simple aspirational guy.
That's it.
Look, I may be a country
bumpkin, but I have influential friends
in the capital, friends who
would be very happy if a judge like
you handed down an exemplary,
agile sentence against that guy.
You tell me.
I'll make the call and things
will go well for you in the capital.
Like I said, I just want to do my job well.
That's it.
I won't take up any more of your time.
[suspenseful music]
Girl.
[suspenseful music]
Doctor, I found what I was
looking for, Serena's file.
I'll watch it later.
Did something happen, doctor?
Cardona, do you have the
file on the expert's concept?
[tel buzzer]
If Dr. Manrique sees him,
he'll fire him right away.
Oh, Cardona.
Let's let him sleep.
He's had a rough day today.
I did notice.
He almost died with the
news of your appointment.
Jealousy is a f*cked-up thing.
You think so?
You know what I think, Andrea?
I think it's not easy to see in
others the life you don't have.
Oh, Gutierrez.
Don't mess things up, okay?
I liked it better when
she called me Monkey.
You'll always be Monkey Gutierrez,
but some things aren't the same.
Andrea, stay a little longer, please.
I'm due back at the house.
[tel buzzer]
What happened, son?
Excuse me.
Do you happen to know
where the courthouse is?
Yeah.
Look, there it is.
Oh, perfect.
Thank you.
ROCIO: Yes.
Nice to meet you.
Andrea Ortiz!
Roco Martnez.
Is Dr. Gutierrez here by any chance?
He just left and didn't
say if he'll be back later.
Oh, sh**t.
Isn't she from around here?
No, I'm from Bogot.
I worked with him in court
when he was a substantiator.
Hmm.
Well, if you'd like, you can wait for him.
Maybe he'll come later or tomorrow
morning, I'm sure he'll find him.
Oh, no.
No, it's hard for me.
I just came to bring something to Mono.
That's what we called him at
the office, Monkey Gutierrez.
It's a detail he sends to the people
at the courthouse, a framed picture.
I hope she likes it.
You can leave her with me
and I'll give her to the doctor.
Or I can hang it on one
of the walls of the office.
Roco told me her name?
Yes, Roco.
Roco, could you give me his address?
Hmm.
I'd love to, but you know
I could get in trouble.
Oh, don't be mean.
It's for a good cause.
I understand.
Anyway, you're just doing your duty, right?
I'll wait outside while
I smoke a cigarette.
Maybe I'll be in a good mood
and the doctor will come by.
Thank you.
[street chatter]
Hello, Miss Roco.
Is Dr. Gutierrez around?
No, he's not, and I don't
know if he'll be back today.
I recommend you hand over the judge.
What's this?
Where did you find him?
SALGAR: Miss Camila's body is very close.
And how long have you had this?
SALGAR: No, we found him last night.
We have to wait and see if the fingerprints
match Mr. Francisco's.
Yes, don't worry.
I'll give this to the doctor.
Thank you.
Thank you, miss.
[street chatter]
[suspenseful music]
Hello, agent.
Excuse me. Could you help me for a moment?
Yes, ma'am. What can I do for you?
Nice to meet you.
Andrea Ortiz, officer
of the judicial branch.
I'm looking for Dr. Gutierrez,
but I can't find him.
Oh, you don't say.
And it's urgent.
I have some very important
court papers to give you.
Can't you tell me where he lives?
Work with me.
Oh, don't be mean.
I have to take a bus to
Bogot and look at the time.
Do you have a pen?
Are you okay, ma'am?
Oh, no.
Yeah, yeah.
I forgot something at the courthouse.
[suspenseful music]
Perfect.
Agent, thank you so much.
At your service.
[suspenseful music]
How do you do?
Trying to keep busy, but as you
can see, there's not much I can do.
What about the judge?
No, I came on my own.
Camila was a good friend of mine, you know?
I didn't know.
People here say the
guerrilla is bringing people into
towns, living normal
lives and making friends.
Are you going to tell me
Camila was one of those people?
What do you know?
No one here is who they say they are.
Look, if your friend is with those people,
Francisco Mateus is most likely dead.
La Serena Estate.
You mentioned this to the judge.
Why?
If you don't trust me, I
don't see how I can help you.
You see, people...
People who lived in La Serena...
GUARD I A: I'm sorry, but the
commander gave the order to get you out.
The judge on La Serena's
case, get him to talk.
[quiet music]
Oh, what's that music?
It's like a funeral.
Ouch.
Wait, I'll cook for you.
What are we going to do
with this sophisticated man?
Put up with it, I guess.
What about when I'm a judge?
Oh, I can just see him in his
fancy suit, with his fancy watch.
Oh, no.
I don't like luxuries.
My first job was as a process
server, and I remember I had to go
to jail and tell this person that
their sentence was 10 years.
And as soon as I told him, he broke
down and started begging me to help him.
As if there's anything I can do.
But I didn't know that I was
just a messenger of bad news.
This is everything I have
on the sale of La Serena.
Do you need anything else?
It all looks like a legitimate business.
They even have a witness
to denounce the plaintiffs.
Wait a minute, OK?
[suspenseful music]
What's this?
It's a settlement of a
succession on that estate.
It was done last year.
[suspenseful music]
"The deceased and owner of
the building, Amparo Cardenas,
widow of Ramiro Sanabria,
who died on November 16, 1975."
Ramiro Sanabria is listed as a
witness in a 1980s crime scene.
He'd been dead for about five years.
I owe you one, okay?
Stay there.
It's really a very nice touch.
Thank you.
Hello.
DAVID: Cardonite.
Come and have a piece of cake.
Doc.
Cardona, okay?
Take the understatement off.
Dr. Cardona, would you like to
share a piece of cake with us?
It's really nice of the girls.
Coffee, Cardona?
No, this is fine.
Thank you.
All right.
My little monkey.
Sorry, Dr. Gutierrez.
He deserves it. Me?
Andrea, you're always so nice to me.
Hey, Gutierrez, what did I miss?
Didn't you hear?
Gutierrez is leaving the court.
I've been appointed a judge.
Oh.
Well, congratulations.
Small town, but it's something.
Yes, of course.
That's something.
Cardona turning her
back on the cake, right?
What's this?
What is this?
Now they're treating the
court like ruana or what?
Oh, no, doctor.
Have a piece of cake.
It's because of Guti.
The occasion calls for relaxation.
Thank you, my love.
I'm low on sugar.
Okay.
Cardona didn't get his piece?
No, no, sir.
But they're about to come in handy.
[indistinct chatter]
DAVID: Thank you so much, really.
ANDREA: Oh, we hope you like it.
[suspenseful music]
[all gasp]
[suspenseful music]
Thank you so much.
[birds chirping]
What are you doing here?
You're as kind as ever.
You never change, do you?
I was obviously here to talk
to David, but I ran into you.
Apparently, today is not my day.
Well, what about the
Monkey? Did it come out or...?
Oh, no.
He's inside.
Come in, I'll call you back.
Thank you.
[suspenseful music]
That's where the Monkey is painted.
He sticks to his old
furniture all the time.
Cardona, what are you doing?
Because since I'm dumping you...
[suspenseful music]
We'll need Gutirrez here.
Good workers make each other miss.
The others, no muss, no fuss.
It's the same whether you stay or leave.
[suspenseful music]
What happened?
Isn't it good?
Oh, no.
Oh, no, no, no.
That's not it.
I don't think I'm hungry.
What is it this time?
I don't know.
I don't know what's going on.
I mean, I do know.
It's okay.
Nothing ever happens in court.
That's it.
But it's a matter of patience.
Patience.
Things didn't have to go this way.
I'm 40 years old, I can't spend
my life in Manrique's shadow.
I'll ask if you put in a little effort with.
Manrique, he'll give you the push you need.
Do I make an effort, Marta?
And then all that stuff
I was doing, what is it?
I've done my best.
Oh, no.
You're really impossible today.
[suspenseful music]
Right.
[suspenseful music]
[rumbles]
MAN (SCREAMING): Get out.
Go and light the plant, man.
SAGLAR: Hey, what's wrong? What's wrong?
Your guerrilla friends
blew up an electric tower.
They've knocked out the whole town.
Now all we need is for
them to try to sh**t us.
[suspenseful music]
[baby crying]
[suspenseful music]
When I bought the car, I felt like...
How can I put this?
Like the king of the world?
But eventually, that Dodge
2500 turned into a coffin
on wheels with an undead man at the wheel.
I'll give him that shitty car.
Hmm.
Me?
Mm-hm.
Why don't you give me the
house since you're so generous?
[laughing]
The whole house.
You can have it.
And anything else you want.
And you leave Marta with me.
[laughing]
You're so lucky.
You'll be a pain in the
a*s and they'll spoil you.
I'm a lucky man.
[engine start]
[horn honks]
Open up.
Go and call the boss.
So, what? How's that going?
Let's see if we can get it over with today.
DAVID: You know something, Cardonite?
Cardona!
DAVID: Cardona!
I really feel sorry for you.
Me?
Why?
Manrique's a b*stard.
A few years ago, he told me, as long as I'm
alive, I won't allow Cardona to be a judge.
You know what, doctor?
I don't work for you anymore.
Oh, yeah?
You don't say.
And what makes you think I'm
going to accept your resignation?
Manrique only likes people
who bow their heads to him.
And look, the race was ruined.
Don't worry about me.
There are more than a
thousand people out there
who want to be k*lled
for that job you have.
Wow.
Why didn't you tell me?
[suspenseful music]
Out of fear.
Scared?
That position was his.
Manrique didn't leave him.
[suspenseful music]
I'll leave you to it.
[suspenseful music]
It's all wrong.
I don't understand how
Judge Adolfo could sign this.
CARDONA: Wake up.
Let's see, honey.
What?
No. What?
Okay.
Come on, wake up.
[all gasp]
Shh, shh.
Hey, the easy way or the hard way.
The easy way?
Hmm.
[coughing]
Girl, tell me what you're doing here.
I'm here to visit a friend.
ISMAEL: The friend is?
Gutierrez.
David Gutirrez.
[laughing]
Hey, Gutierrez, is this how people
from the capital welcome their friends?
[laughing]
Look what they did to her.
Well, like your friend left it.
[laughing]
What did you do to Dr. Gutierrez
to deserve such a reception?
Tell me.
[groans]
What did you do to Dr. Gutierrez?
This is not David Gutierrez.
[suspenseful music]
Cardona, please, tell them
I had nothing to do with it.
I just want to go home.
Cardona?
[laughing]
Hey, Gutierrez, a man is entitled
to his eccentricities, but you?
[suspenseful music]
What did you do with the real Gutierrez?
[clock clicks]
[coughing]
What's up?
It's good, right?
Delicious.
[vomiting and coughing]
Something happened today.
Yes?
CRDONA: Yeah.
Let's see.
[coughing]
Oh, this one was close.
[classical music playing]
He almost took my job.
[chuckles]
I've been appointed judge.
[coughing]
If I asked you to leave
Bogot, what would you say?
Oh, no, you're being weird.
There are more than a
thousand people out there
who want to be k*lled
for that job you have.
Wow.
[suspenseful music]
So the world can meet
the great Doctor Cardona.
Well, it doesn't matter.
You're still Dr. David Gutierrez to me.
[animal sounds]
What do we have to do?
[chuckles]
Ruiz, come here.
Dr. Gutierrez, this is Milton Ruiz.
This man likes to get into
trouble, and a few days
in Santiago Ramn's cell wouldn't hurt him.
Just a few days. What do you think?
[suspenseful music]
I'll let you go, but you tell me
who else knows you're here.
Oh, no.
Right?
If you don't tell me the truth
and I find out later, then you...
The secretary.
She has the envelope.
About what?
[suspenseful music]
No.
Oh, no.
Oh, no.
No.
[g*nsh*t]
Thank you, honey.
I'll let you know if you need anything.
Let me know.
Roco, to what do I owe this joy?
La Serena Estate.
Ring a bell?
That's odd, because this is your sentence.
And every time I read it,
I find shadier things in it.
Testimonies from people who
were already dead, for example.
Doctor, please, before
the end, do things right.
Maybe that's how he wants
to be remembered, as the
guy who left something good before he left.
A couple.
The owners of La Serena ranch
had a son, about ten years old.
Diaz I think his last name was.
They went in, pulled the man out,
and k*lled him in front of the family.
[g*nsh*t]
A sleazy lawyer came in,
some guy named Agudelo.
Ernesto Agudelo.
Ernesto Agudelo, doctor.
Public defender for the boy.
Agudelo grabbed that poor lady
and made her sign a bill of sale.
The poor thing grabbed
her son and ran out of town.
They lost everything.
But he's back.
All the people who went through
the same thing reported that they
were threatened to sign, and
all I had to do was follow orders.
The orders the Raven gave you?
Ismael Mateus, she's my daughter.
Let's call a spade a spade.
[suspenseful music]
Open that box.
Symphony No.
One by Brahms.
That's what kept me alive, and
now what's going to bring me down.
[suspenseful music]
Come on, Ruiz.
What's up, Chino?
Are you afraid of blood or what?
You may be friends with the
boss, but I think you're crazy.
You know what?
I plugged that hole good, jackass.
[spit]
I'll talk to you later.
What's up, Santiago?
I already told you everything
I know about your friend.
Leave me alone.
I talked to the judge in La Serena's case.
He told of a family, the Waynes.
There was a boy who would
be the same age as you now and
a lawyer who forced them
to sign a piece of paper.
The same lawyer who supposedly
defends you, Santiago Ramos.
Santiago Daz?
When we left town, we changed our names.
After several years, I returned to
reclaim what was taken from us.
Then, when... When her friend turned
up dead, this guy came and told me that...
That if he didn't blame me,
my mom would pay for it.
Who was that guy?
I have no idea.
I just remember he was
missing this finger and...
CARDONA: Oh, Roco.
[suspenseful music]
This is the proof of everything.
I'm sure someone in Bogot can help us.
Why isn't Judge Gutierrez doing anything?
You can't trust that man.
Take care, Santiago.
[suspenseful music]
There's nothing.
He took Camila Barragn's file
and Santiago Ramos' statement.
[suspenseful music]
He also took La Serena's file.
Ring a bell?
Yeah.
A judicial mess from a long time ago.
Resolved, of course.
Not for Santiago Ramos.
Because if you look at those
sentences, you can find a lot of things.
What do you mean?
Hints.
Indications, for example, of this Cuervo.
[laughing]
Don't be ridiculous, Gutierrez.
The Raven doesn't exist.
It's just hillbilly talk.
If I were Roco, I'd be in
Bogot telling everything I know.
[faraway sounds]
Definitely, what else do you do these days?
Yeah.
There's not much else to do,
especially if the power's out.
It's all f*cked up now.
That judge... That judge is
more crooked than his dad.
You know what?
As soon as I can, I'm out of this town.
I'm out of here before his dad
comes, finds him here and kills me too.
The guy in jail won't make it out alive.
He's next.
They set him up between
his dad and the judge.
He's not getting out of that cell alive.
HOMBRE: Torres. Torres.
Torres. Torres.
Shouting. Torres.
What happened to all the yelling?
The boss is calling the people.
Why? What is it?
That damn secretary from the
court who's going to screw us all.
Get your things. We're
going to look for her.
[suspenseful music]
Roco?
What are you going to do?
What are you going to do?
What are you going to
do? Hide your dad forever?
If I can, I'll leave this town today.
HOMBRE: Torres, what happened?
Roco will end up like
Camila, and you know it.
[suspenseful music]
Choo-choo-choo.
What's up?
Stay.
Okay.
Don't move. Nothing's happening here.
Don't look at me.
Don't look at me.
Hurry, hurry.
[suspenseful music]
What's up?
That's it.
I'm here with my partner.
No harm, no foul.
I'll see.
Quietly.
Don't talk.
Just be normal.
You haven't seen anything, snitch.
You haven't seen anything.
[baby crying]
What's up?
What's up?
Open that sh*t.
Open that sh*t.
[suspenseful music]
Grab it.
Go, go.
Come on, man.
Come on.
Tone it down.
Everything okay?
It's all good.
[suspenseful music]
You know what will happen
to you for being a snitch, right?
Redhead, what a sin.
[suspenseful music]
Go ahead.
Come on, man, it's for today.
DANIEL: What's up, Camila?
What happened?
Don't f*ck with me, Daniel.
Come on.
I'll talk to you later.
Come on, let's talk.
I'll talk to you later.
Let's see, honey.
What did you think?
Huh?
Than romancing the boss's son. What?
f*cking guerrilla fighters.
I'm going to fix that pretty face of yours.
Oh, Daniel.
Come here, I'll call the boss.
Maybe it's no good anymore.
Let me.
Come and see.
My finger.
b*tch.
Now you're talking.
Freeze!
That's what he gets for sticking
his nose where it doesn't belong...
Look at the finger.
[sobs]
[sounds of confusion]
b*tch.
Daniel, help.
My finger.
Help me.
Help me find the toe.
I'll go check.
Can't you see I'm doing that?
My finger.
Don't you see?
I don't see anything.
Look it up.
I almost got a boo-boo.
Blew the trigger.
Find someone.
Find him or I'll...
I'm getting out. Can't you see?
Let's see.
Oh!
[rustling]
[suspenseful music]
[racing]
[distant voices]
[sounds of mystery]
Hello.
Tell me.
I'm here to turn myself in
for Camila Barragn's death.
Get out, get out!
Come on, quickly.
[squeaking]
I know this one.
You worked for my dad, right?
Why did they put him in here?
Nothing serious.
We'll let him go later.
Right.
You're not capable of anything.
He's just the spoiled son of a...
Whose spoiled son, huh?
From who?
I'm sorry, Camila, I didn't mean...
So that's how it is?
That's how it is with a m*rder*r's son.
Very good actress.
I even thought he loved me.
So, what's next?
Will you take me to your
friends in the mountains
or should I sh**t myself right here?
Go away.
Didn't you hear me?
Let him go.
Go on, as if nothing's wrong and
go on with your happy rich boy life.
[sound of tension]
The detainee Santiago Ramos
claims to be an active member
of a subversive group as
retaliation for the Mateus family's
political involvement is
ordered by this, Ramos, to attack
the integrity of young Francisco Mateus.
As a result, Miss Camila Barragn
was k*lled with a dagger near her throat.
The defendant tells this office...
We're working. What's up?
I'm sorry, boss, but something happened.
Mr. Francisco showed up.
Bring him here immediately.
No, boss, it can't be done.
[radio chatter]
Five minutes, Don Ismael.
We're making an exception for you.
Thank you, agent.
God bless you for letting me
talk to my boy for five minutes.
[radio chatter]
Why are you here?
I need you to explain what you're doing.
You know what I keep thinking about, Dad?
If I'd believed Camila,
she'd still be alive.
But suddenly, this is
the punishment I deserve.
Everything I've done, I've done
for my family, for you, my son.
When I die, all this will be yours.
You may not understand that right now.
When those bandits, those
guerrillas, your girlfriend's
friends show up, you'll
have to choose which side
you're on, the forts or the lost causes.
If Camila was as bad as you say, why didn't
she k*ll me when she had the chance?
For love, son.
For love.
[sad music]
Wake up, as*h*le!
Roco is going to ruin him.
And when that happens,
you won't have a child.
Roco, Roco, oh, the secretary.
You're misinformed, son.
The secretary is already dead.
Door?
LOCUTOR: This just in.
Two miles from Tolu, on the road
to Tolu old, Gonzalo Rodrguez.
Gacha, aka El Mexicano,
has just been k*lled.
The events took place at La Lucha Estate.
Official intelligence
indicates that the operation
involved five helicopters
and 20 police officers.
Done.
Come on.
[sobs]
Don't cry.
Don't cry.
Let's get this over with.
This area is full of guerrillas.
I'll take care of it.
Can you do it, Torres?
I'll take care of it.
[sound of mystery]
The key.
But do it right.
[sobs]
Jeto, go with him.
Tell him to do it right.
Take this.
Burn it, bury it, do something, disappear.
I don't want anything left, got it?
Done.
I see, I see.
HOMBRE: Ramirez, open the door.
No one goes in or out of the
office without my authorization.
Got it?
Yes, boss.
Youth and your principles, doctor.
Youth, a disease cured with age.
Youth, a disease cured with age.
You want me to tell you a secret?
I was a member of the Communist Party.
[laughing]
Who would've thought?
I was a member of the Communist Party.
I was a boy about the
age of my son Francis.
And one December, Dr. Laureano Gmez sent
planes to wipe out the liberal rabble.
The people who saw the spectacle
say that the planes looked like
giant black birds, with their wings
spread like crows, Doctor, and
that after circling several
times, they dropped their bombs.
[sounds of mystery]
And it all lit up like the
holidays in gunpowder sweeping
the entire region,
families, dreams, my ideals.
After seeing that destruction, I made
the decision to be on the strong side.
On the winning side.
And what makes you think
you're on the right side?
Hold on, Torres.
He's not yelling anymore, f*gg*t.
Did you forget where we are?
Oh, that's just Pekingese talk.
The guerrillas know we'll hit
them hard if they show up here.
Go, go, go a little more.
We don't want to be seen or heard here.
No, no, not at all.
There, there.
Let's go.
No one comes through here.
[sobs]
What's up, Torres?
Go ahead.
You got it, brother.
The ones he goes out with.
His wrist.
[suspenseful music]
Look, look, look.
Great things are coming
for this country, doctor.
All we have to do is
wipe out all those bandits.
They're a plague. Exterminate them!
But once we wipe them
out, this country will flourish.
We're gonna be big.
[laughing]
Don't look at me like that, doctor.
After resolving the issue
with Ms. Roco, you will
once again be the judge,
Mr. David Gutierrez.
I have big plans for you.
You're going to be very useful.
[chirping]
Walk, Rojas.
What happened to these people?
I knew it.
That Torres freak couldn't do it.
Go ahead.
Okay, but step on it.
Let's resume.
Oh, no.
The detainee is not...
A new leaf.
Go ahead.
The detainees, Santiago
Ramos and Francisco Mateus,
freely confess their
participation as co-author,
both material and
intellectual, in the actions
that led to the m*rder of Camila Barragn.
Is coauthors correct, doctor?
Co-authors?
Yeah.
Then write co-writers.
It is known to this office that
the detainees were found dead
(inside their cells with signs
of hanging. ECHO) Hanging.
Cardona!
Wake up, f*gg*t.
You're so crazy after that.
Come on, man.
Are you really going to be
able to do that with your son?
What do you think?
Come on, grab it.
Come on.
Okay.
[g*nshots]
From now on, you'll do everything I say.
And all of a sudden, he's
mentioned as the former judge.
Hmm?
Let's move on.
Testimonies provided by
residents of the region indicate
that Mr. Francisco Mateus
and Santiago Ramos are active
members of a subversive
group operating in the region.
Guilty.
[chirping]
[groans]
[quick steps]
[distant g*nf*re]
Read what we have so far.
Lea?
The detainees Santiago Ramos
and Francisco Mateus plead guilty.
[steps]
How old are you, Chinaman?
Sixteen.
Now you're talking.
Now you're talking.
Or I'll sh**t him.
Now you're talking.
[chirping]
Perfect.
We just need your signature, Your Honor.
Do you think you could
knock before you come in?
I'm sorry, Mr. Ismael, but we have...
What's going on?
The secretary's nowhere
to be found, nor towers.
Where's Pekingese?
The guys on patrol found
the van lying on the road.
They went into the bush and
found Pekingese with the others.
It looks like a guerrilla
squad got into a shootout.
No one was left alive.
[bang]
I called all the guys.
No one sleeps tonight
until we find that secretary.
Don't move from here.
[sounds of mystery]
Gutierrez?
Gutierrez?
[mechanical rumbling]
[suspenseful music]
[tussling]
[groans]
[tussling]
[groans]
[suspenseful music]
There was a fire at the courthouse.
What does that have to do with me?
The last people they saw come
in were your dad and the judge.
Good morning.
Do you know her?
She was in town asking about the judge.
Were you there when Camila was k*lled?
[suspenseful music]
There was no need to do that
to those people, Don Ismael.
A man was k*lled in front of his family.
The guy's already gone to sign.
ISMAEL MAETUS (Voice
Over): Don't worry, Your Honor.
No one's gonna find out about this.
You just have to do your job.
A signature here and everything will be
solved, as you've always done, Doctor.
JUDGE ( VOICE-OVER): I ended
up serving The Raven after all.
No, my doctor, you work for me.
Ismael Mateus!
But don't worry.
At this rate, I might finally
get to meet the Crow.
