[Sandoval has tried to call President Gaviria but the president hung up on him on a minister's advice]
I just realized something. The president didn't just betray me, he also betrayed you. He knew if you came here...look at me, there would be three options. One: I leave with you, peacefully. Two: I take you hostage. Three: I shoot you, and then, he really would have a good excuse to kill me. Right? [sighs] Either way, he wins. Right? Maybe the president is betraying us both.
You could be right. But you know something? I'll sacrifice my life to make sure you're dead.
You think you're better than me, but you're wrong. I come from nothing. I fought hard to become what I am. If the government hadn't come after me I would be where you are now: the vice minister of justice.
You and I are nothing alike. You are a criminal. And criminals can't run forever.
