President Gustavo "Tavo" Barros, General Hector Martinez and others in “Unfinished Business”

[General Hector Martinez is summoned along with the entire Gran Colombia high command to dinner with President Barros, but when he notices that the other generals are absent...]

PGPresident Gustavo "Tavo" Barros

Bad news, Hector. The generals? They were plotting against me.

GHGeneral Hector Martinez

Who, Tavo?

Eat, Hector. Gazpacho shouldn't be allowed to warm to room temperature. It's good.

MMartinez

There must be a mistake. You're telling me there was a coup amongst my generals?

Your generals? I hope they aren't your generals, Hector. No. They're cowards. And I warned you against them.

MMartinez

[Spanish] Are you sure? I've known these men a very long time. I would have heard something.

There is no mistake, Hector.

MMartinez

So you have proof?

Conchita saw it. In the cards.

MMartinez

Tavo. We cannot play with men's lives. These cards cannot always be trusted.

They confessed. Chacon, Bianchi, Rodriguez, Munos, Moreno. Every single one of them.

MMartinez

Oh, my God.

But it doesn't matter, not really. All I wanted to know... the only thing I asked them before I removed their intestines was, did Hector know? Of course, none of them gave you up. But they gave each other up real quick. But you? Not you. Then I started feeling bad. For doubting you. [sees Maza distraught] It's... it's okay.

MMartinez

No, no, no, no. With all the pressure from the war, I've...

I know I've gone a little crazy. And I'm sorry about that.

MMartinez

You don't have to apologize, Tavo. I support you. Always.

Of course you do. Of course, I know. That is why I want you to lead the investigation to see just how far down this conspiracy goes. I want it torn out by the roots!

MMartinez

Sí, Tavo. I will handle it personally. Like always.

Like always. Conchita. [Conchita leaves] Hector, my friend. My brother. [Barros' bodyguard suddenly stabs Martinez] If you're gonna stab a man in the back, the least that you can do is look him in the eye!
