...or the St. Therese...

St. Teresa.

Will he not want the

TV stations...

...or the government radio stations?

- No.

- Does he have rockets?

- Yes.

- How many?

- Not many.

They know I'm lying. I need to find

a way to surprise them somehow.

Make a sudden move, but

Ramon will shoot me if I do.

And if I went for Ramon and managed

to get his gun, what then?

Escobar and Heinz would

be all over me by then...

...and even if I managed to

kill everyone, surely there are...

...guards outside the door.

They'll hear the shots, they'll come running.

Amigo...

You're lying.

No...

What... Why would I lie?

Don't you think

I want to get out of here?

I don't know

why you would lie Mr. Fletcher.

And I don't know why you'd work

with Nuez in the first place.

Perhaps, it was a little bit of

American naivete, as they say.

And I think, that played

a part in it, yeah...

But that can't be all of it.

Nevermind.

I think, we need a demonstration. Heinz.

No, no, no.

No, no, no, no, no, no, you can't do

this to me. You can't do this to me.

I'm an American citizen.

I work for the New York Times.

People know where I am.

- Hold out your hand.

- Right hand. - No.

Do it, or I cant help the

consequences.

How do you describe it? Now that

feeling is still fresh in your mind?

How do you describe it?

- Like dying.

- Yes.

And you see, he's wet himself. Not much; just a little.

- And Mr. Fletcher...

- Heinz! Don't be an ass.

Step aside.

Let us do our business.

That was one quarter power.

You've been bad, Mr. Fletcher.

We know Nuez will come to the city.

We know that he will try to get to

the radio station and he probably can...

...for a couple of days,

hours maybe.

Is of no concern...

...what matters is that we give you

a little bit of a rope...

...to see if you can

make a noose, and you do.

Do we have your attention Mr. Fletcher?

Why do you want to suffer...

to protect this man Nuez?

He takes the cocaine...

...and if he wins the revolution, he will

proclaim himself president for life...

...and then, he will sell

the cocaine back to your country.

Then he will go to Sunday mass.

And f*** the cocaine whores

for the rest of the week.

In the end... who wins?

Maybe the Communists...

But not the people.

Please...

Please...

Mr. Fletcher.

Help us. Of your own free will.

Don't make us make you help us.

Don't make us pull your string.

You can still

be on that plane to New York.

No, I want to help.

I'll help.

- Do they have Rockets?

- Yes.

- How many?

- At least 60.

- Russian?

- Some are...

..others, I think, they came

in crates with Israeli markings.

And the writing on the missiles,
