[one of Jose Rodriguez Gacha's men tips off the Search Bloc about a house in Cartagena where he and his son are hiding]
Navegante, you've been working for Gacha for many years. I'm sure in that time you've earned way more than we are giving you. So tell me, why do you want to betray him?
That fucker's crazy. He's gonna get us all killed. [leaves]
I don't believe him one bit.
What do you care why he's doing it?
Because we have 23 agents with outdated weapons waiting in Barranquilla. And he has twice as many men with brand new weapons. And frankly I'm tired of sending young men to face certain death.
So then we have to be smart. We have to create a trap. If we catch him alive, he'll give us Escobar. And the Ochoas. The entire cartel-
I don't give a fuck, Javier. I want him dead.
He doesn't care about death. He only fears rotting in jail. That's the real victory.
Right, I forgot you're a gringo.
What's that supposed to mean?
What are you risking? These aren't your men. You have no family here to lose. If this goes badly, there will be more widows and orphans, and I'll have to carry that on my shoulders.
Well I trust his information. And I trust you.
But if this turns out bad it'll be on your conscience.
