Silence, silence!
Everyone, silence!

Play dead, motherfuckers!
Play dead!
If you keep squealing, I'm gonna cut your throats!
Cut your throats!
And you, fucker, shut up and pay attention.
We came for some dough.
There's no money here.
Yes there is, you stupid fuck. Don't act like a fucking moron!
We don't have any money.
That's not what they told us.
Are you saying our people are talking shit, you fag, or what?
I'm not saying that.
So what are you saying then?
All I'm saying is, this home has never seen the face of money.
You know what? Bring me that fucking chair!
There, you fucker. Put it there!
Come here, you son of a bitch.
Here, you fag. Sit there.
Don't look at me faggot! I told you to put your head down.
Put your head down.
Come here, you faggot. To the ground, you fucker.
To the ground, you fag! Do what I say!
You come here. Stand up, you cunt!
- Get up! - Stand up!
Get up!
There!
- Take me. - Shut your hole!
- Why don't you take me? - Shut the fuck up, motherfucker!
Shut up, you faggot!
Shut up, or I'll cut you open, motherfucker!
Leave him to me.
Shut up!
You're not gonna tell me you won't give me the money.
Are you, you fuck?
My husband already told you, there's no money in this house.
That fucking son of a bitch hasn't told me fucking shit.
You're gonna give me fifteen million pesos.
Fifteen million!
What?
Look... I want to give you something...
so you'll leave us alone.
But I could never give you everything you're asking for.
So you won't? Motherfucking bitch!
You're not gonna pay, you fucking bitch? You're not gonna pay?
We're gonna see about that, you fuck.
Come here. Let's go motherfucker!
Let's see if you're not gonna pay!
Here... let's see if you're not gonna pay me.
Shut the fuck up! Shut up!
Don't wanna hear you anymore!
Mommy!
Shhh...
Didn't you hear me?
Shut the fuck up...
Shut up!
Don't look at me. Put your head down.
Do it right, fucker!
Take this, quick!
Cut. Cut.
Shut your hole, you fucking son of a bitch!
Shut up, you faggot! Shut up motherfucker!
Mariano!
Quiet.
- Lift your head up! - Lift your face!
You too. Shut up. Shut up!
Silence, silence.
Put your head down, fucker.
You too, put it down.
You better shut your mouth...
or I'll cut you open, fucker.
I'll bury you, you fuck.
Everyone put your heads down!
If you look at me, I'll kill you all! All of you motherfuckers!
They're gone.
It's okay, dear, we're all fine.
Go untie your children.
We're all fine.
Rosita...
bring me the cooking oil.
Hurry up, Rosita!
- It's not coming off! - Be careful, Mariano.
One at a time.
- Be careful, for God's sake. - What did they put on you?
It's not coming off.
- Daddy! - What's this, sweetie?
Baby, bring your portable tape recorder. The power's out. Run sweetie.
Hurry.
Be careful, Rosita. Be careful with that.
Pay close attention, Mr. And Mrs. Valdez.
What your father has on his neck is a collar bomb.
Do not try to deactivate the device, because you don't have the remote control...
Do not alert the authorities or your whole family will pay with death...
and death will be the least you're gonna get.
We'll contact you and let you know how and where
to give us the amount of fifteen million pesos.
We recommend sedatives for the victim.
My daddy died!
Let me see, let me see.
Bring him a glass of water instead. Get back so he can get some air.
Simon! Simon!
Daddy. I love you.
Simon. For God's sake, Simon!
Drink, dear. Drink.
Thank you, God. Thank you.
Listen to me.
We're gonna tell the police.
But they warned us to keep quiet!
And where are we gonna get the money to pay them, Mariano?
Where?
If you don't risk an egg, you won't get a chicken.
Well, like chickens they're gonna kill us if we tell the cops.
Nobody's getting killed here.
What we're gonna do is go with your mother...
to see who can take this thing off her head. Now, that's what we're gonna do.
Mariano...
Mariano, where are you going?
Don't be afraid.
Nobody be afraid.
Maybe this is nothing but a sick joke.
Look...
we're the ones who are gonna kill a chicken.
And two in one shot.
If the afternoon doesn't do us in we're gonna be fine.
Your father and I will look for a ride to town.
In the meantime, you go find that stupid cell phone...
call my sister, and tell her what happened...
so she can call the police from a land line and find out what we should do.
Dear...
we'll see you on the road with the message. Okay?
- Okay, mommy. - Go, my love.
Angelita, put your shoes on, put your shoes on.
There's Ramon.
Compadre!
Hey there, compadre.
What's going on, Mrs. Ofelia? Is that the new fashion?
No, Don Ramon.
We came here to ask you for a favor.
It's not like we're at odds. You can ask me for anything.
Is it possible for you to give us a ride to town?
You know you can count on me. Let me get the car ready.
Thank you, Don Ramon.
Let's go, compadre.
The anti-explosive guys are waiting to meet us
at the other side of La Bocatoma in fifteen minutes.
Daddy, here's the cell phone.
Thank you. Let's go. Come on.
Come here! Come here!
You're the little man of the house when I'm not around...
so go take care of the house,
take care of your sister, and we won't be long.
Come here, little one...
- Daddy, I want to go with you guys. - No, we won't be long.
Go take care of your little baby chicks, and we're gonna be right back.
Go, sweetie, go. We'll come later.
Mommy...
I love you very much, mommy.
I love you so much.
Don Ramon, don't take us to town. Please take us to the crossroad instead.
But hurry up, Don Ramon. We're running late.
Don't worry, dear.
The anti-explosive people are serious
and they'll be waiting for us.
Anti-explosive?
What is that? What are you talking about?
- Don, please. - No, no! Get out of the car!
Dear, let's go, let's go.
I beg you, Don Ramon.
No, ma'am. Please get out of the car!
That's strike two, Don Ramon.
Be careful, for God's sake.
Guys!
Can you take us to La Bocatoma, and I'll settle up with you later?
- Yes, sir, of course. Come in. - Thank you, guys. Come on, dear.
No. Don't.
What's going on?
Dear, you know how much I love you.
You know...
But right now it's better if I'm alone. It's better that way.
Let's go, Rosita.
Let's hurry guys!
Right here, guys. Right here.
Thank you.
Be careful, dear. Dear, be careful.
My dear, be careful.
Please forgive me for carrying my cross...
but this thing, one could never have imagined.
- Only God understands it. - Don't worry, dear. Don't worry.
Instead, help me up, because we're late.
I'll catch up with you.
Hello...
Hello!
Yes, sir.
Okay, sir, yes.
No, we're getting the money together.
No, sir. Don't worry. To nobody.
Not to the police - nobody. Don't worry.
Yes, sir.
Hello? Hello?
- Where are they? - They're coming, dear, don't worry.
Aren't they supposed to be waiting for us here?
This is it, don't worry.
Simon, why does it sound like that?!
Oh, my God.
- It's on the other side. - What do you mean?
- We have to go across. - Which side?
- Did you hear that? - Yes, they're gonna take it off you.
It's this way.
Look... What do I have there?
Simon! Oh, my God! I can't take this any longer.
Be careful. Don't worry.
We're here, dear. Don't worry.
When the obituary appeared announcing her death...
everybody started smiling.
When they took the coffin out of the church...
the crowd broke into laughter.
- Simon, I can't stand it anymore. - We're here, my dear.
Don't worry. We're here.
Come on, walk. We're here.
Well, if it's here, where are they? Why is nobody here?
Rosita, we've arrived. Don't worry, dear.
Look, dear, there it is - at last.
Holy Mary.
My God...
Why did you let this happen to me?
Mommy...
Mommy, don't say that. It's not His fault.
Maybe this is just an empty pipe with an alarm inside and nothing else.
They're here.
Lieutenant First Class of the National Police, Hurtado, at your service.
Ofelia Valdez.
Simon.
Rosita.
Okay, please be so kind as to situate yourself at a location near the vehicle.
Mrs. Ofelia, do you have a hacksaw or a blade with you?
You didn't bring anything?
How did you get here?
Do you have a light? We can take that off of you with some fire.
Did you bring a light?
What else are you gonna ask me?
You're gonna ask me if I brought a watch?
Ah! Look, Jairo!
Wait for me here, Mrs. Ofelia. I'll be right back.
Don't move.
Don Jairo, what did they put on my wife?
Tell me.
I'll give you a pertinent report at the precise moment.
But for now, remain behind the car!
But Don Jairo, tell me something.
What's going on?
What happened?
What's happening?
Answer me, Jairo!
I need you to go... and to go far away.
My God, Jairo, Jairo, Jairo!
What kind of a life is this?
Listen to me, mama. It's for your own good.
Sit here.
Let me borrow this.
I'll bring it back.
Now we're gonna take that thing off of you, Mrs. Ofelia.
How long have you known your wife?
I was really young. I'll tell you about it later, Mrs. Ofelia.
Hurtado!
- Sir, yes, sir. - What's the situation?
- Good morning, Mrs... - Mrs. Ofelia.
Good morning, Mrs. Ofelia.
We apologize for the inconvenience and the misunderstanding...
regarding the time and meeting place.
At this moment, me and Officer Hurtado will attempt to recover the lost time...
working efficiently, according to the stipulated procedures.
Ramirez!
Sir, yes, sir!
Very good, very good.
Okay, Ramirez, cut the crap!
Secure the perimeter!
Mrs. Ofelia, is there anything I could do for you?
Is there anything you can do for me?
Yes...
You can take this weight off of me.
What happened to you there?
You asked me how long I've known my wife?
She was thirteen years old when I met her.
Thirteen.
Holiest Virgin help us.
For God's sake, Holy Virgin help us.
Chiquinquira Virgin, help us.
Don't worry, Mrs. Ofelia. When all this is over...
we'll have lunch together. Okay?
Let me continue the story.
Her family was celebrating her birthday.
So, when everybody went to sleep...
Ramiro, the youngest brother...
sneaked into the kitchen to eat the rest of the cake - the leftovers.
And he started playing with the candles.
Those magic candles.
The brat didn't know that those candles come back on after you blow them out.
So, after he blew the magic candles,
he put them over the laundry basket and went to sleep.
Before anyone could do anything, the house was burning like an oven.
The screams woke me up.
I remember I was dreaming that I scored a goal on a corner kick.
I heard her screams above the others.
In the time it took me to take her from the house to the fresh grass...
she'd already fallen in love with me.
And instead of her disliking me for this scar, she liked me even more.
So then why didn't you become a fireman so you could have all the girls?
Because I only wanted to be with Catalina.
What if one day I came all burned, and she asked...
Jairo, who have you been with?
Besides, ma'am, with this kind of work, if something goes wrong...
I won't have to worry about another scar different from this one.
This scar doesn't worry me because it's a symbol of my love for her.
Mrs. Ofelia, do you feel all right?
I'm very thirsty, Jairo.
Bring water, man. Fast! Water!
What's your name?
Silva.
Do I look like an officer, or what?
What's your name?
Alfonso.
Alfonso, be careful...
if you don't know how to swim,
you just might drown with those untied boots.
My God.
God, why did you let this happen to me?
I've never hurt anyone.
Jairo.
Yes, ma'am?
- Jairo. - Tell me.
Where are my children?
Your family is over there.
Nobody's there.
I don't see anyone.
What if Mariano starts eating spiders...
a chicken-eating spider?
What if Mariano eats a chicken-eating spider?
Have you eaten chicken-eating spiders?
What are you talking about?
I've never hurt anyone.
I've never hurt anyone!
Ow!
Wait for me, ma'am, because this knife is angry.
Give me a second, okay. Just a second.
A second...
Give me a second.
As if I had a second to spare!
Well, I don't have seconds, you know!
I don't have seconds for anyone!
Those bastards swallowed all my seconds.
They swallowed them all!
- I don't have seconds! - Calm down!
Calm down!
I don't have seconds for anyone!
- Hurtado! - I'm coming.
Mrs. Ofelia, calm down.
Jairo, I'm sorry, but...
I have to relieve myself.
I can't leave you alone again.
So what do you want me to do? Go in one of your buckets?
All right then.
Let me take you back there.
Jairo! Oh, my God!
I can't take it anymore.
Holy God, help us.
My God, help us.
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust.
Are you all right, Jairo?
Yeah, sure.
Why do you ask that?
Mrs. Ofelia, are you okay?
Red Cross! Come! Move it man!
Anything you do, do it slowly, man. Be careful.
I don't have a pulse.
She's not breathing.
I don't have a pulse.
CPR.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7...
I don't have a pulse.
Ma'am, do you feel all right?
Breathe, Mrs. Ofelia. Breathe.
She's fine. She's fine.
Help me.
Slowly.
Get back, get back.
Ramirez, Silva, either of you two. Go call my colonel.
My colonel...
I disarmed the chemical activator.
We're almost done. It's going well.
Congratulations. Excellent work, Hurtado.
Don't worry, we don't have that far to go.
Are you hungry ma'am?
Forgive me for not having brought you a nice big meal...
but I personally will bring you something immediately.
Thank you, my colonel.
God bless you.
Mommy, no!
God, why?
Why?
No!
