[Eduardo Sandoval enters La Catedral to negotiate President Gaviria's offer to temporarily put Pablo in another jail]
Good evening, vice-minister. It's been a while.
Good evening. I'm here on behalf of President Gaviria. My orders are to escort you to a temporary prison in Bogotá. The government has decided to make some improvements here at La Catedral for your safety and everyone else's here.
Mm. I would think Gaviria could come up with a more believable lie. I know why you're here. Because of Moncada and Galeano. But I didn't kill those men. That story is a lie.
And why should the government care about some dispute between gangsters? We don't care about that.
You're mistaken. You are betraying me, vice-minister. Gaviria is betraying me.
If your safety is a concern, I will gladly escort you out myself.
We have an agreement, and you're breaking it. What guarantee do I have that the Americans won't kidnap me and take me to the US? Bush would be very happy to stick me in a gringo jail, like he did to Lehder, like he did to Noriega, right?
That's not gonna happen, you have my word.
Your word. Mm. As vice-minister of justice?
Yes. I give you my word as vice-minister of justice. Haven't you noticed that the army has completely surrounded this jail? We can end this peacefully if you just cooperate and walk out with me.
Don Pablo, these bastards will kill you!
I respectfully decline your offer, vice-minister. The press is saying I killed those men, but that's a lie to sell newspapers. If Gaviria wants me out of here he can come here and do it himself. Meanwhile, I'll view any incursion as a declaration of war.
