INSPIRED BY LA CONEXIÓN BOGOTÁ BY NAHUEL GALLOTTA

Hello.

Hello.

Can you help me with this map, please?

Yes.

I'm here, and I need to go to here.

Okay, you have to take...

BOGOTA

Look at you. You look the same, my Fausto.

You look older, though.

I almost didn't listen to you.

How could you ask me not to visit you in jail?

You can see me now, Luz Ma.

I missed you.

Well? Won't you let me in, partner?

Or are you afraid of being robbed?

Come in.

-Very nice house. -Yes.

I'm glad you bought the one you wanted.

I can't complain.

Okay.

I know it was hard, but tell me

about what those 12 years were like.

Well, at first, the cops had it in for me.

Shooting a cop has consequences.

After what happened to Dimi, I couldn't go back to work.

My head's just not in it.

To Dimi.

To Dimi.

I have something for you.

But that night, you could have escaped, and you didn't.

Better that way. The cops wouldn't have left the town alone.

-You know that. -Yeah.

This is what's left.

BOGOTA

Luisita.

I wanted to bring you this gift.

Thanks.

Spray it on. See how it smells.

I'll have this dance.

Yes!

Are you sure nobody saw you come in?

I did everything you said,

I got worried. I thought you would swap me for a Chinese lady.

Can't deny I thought about it.

But, as you can see, I like danger.

That makes two of us.

That's why I'm here.

I see that.

I was imaging you here, cold and alone.

And I had to come back.

I'm not that dumb.

You came back because nobody could stand you.

Language really makes a difference.

I really missed you.

-What's up, Luz Ma? -And you?

isn't your girlfriend coming to celebrate?

She didn't want to come.

-She's bitter. -Really?

Why? You're safe and sound.

And full of money to spend on her.

What else does the princess want?

She's got it all.

I don't know, but she's been that way for a while now.

When I was in Shanghai, I called her three times,

and she always sounded strange,

as if she wanted to hang up the phone.

You know what I think.

Being with her isn't safe for you or the gang.

She should be jumping for joy at the sight of you,

but no. She plays hard to get.

What the hell?

Don't beat yourself up. It's not worth it.

You're right, as always.

We should leave that behind.

-We're here to celebrate. -Yes, Sir!

Cheers.

Damn it!

Damn, man.

Hey. Walter.

Don't even think about it.

Nobody in the neighborhood, got it? That's a rule.

Us Internationals have rules.

And we have to follow them.

Plus, you're too young to be thinking about that.

Your time will come.

And when it does, you have to do things right.

Okay?

Don't worry about anything now, that's what your dad is for.

Have you had anything to eat?

-No. -Go eat whatever you like.

Stay up as long as you like, you've got my permission.

You have to stay away from me, Mafe.

This has to end. And we talked about it

before the trip, remember?

-But I don't want to leave you. -Me neither.

But...

You can do this anywhere in the world.

-I'll go with you. -It's not that easy.

If we liked it easy, we wouldn't be here, right?

Look.

Let's say we leave.

We'd be fugitives. Your father would hunt me down at every corner.

Diminson...

Diminson is like a brother to me, okay?

No.

But I'm not important to Diminson. You know it!

I know that, but you can't do that

to a brother, or to anyone.

A little late to think about that, don't you think?

Mafe...

Are rules more important than your feelings for me?

Mafe, this has to stop here.

I'll end up in jail or dead, okay?

Or being the happiest man in the world.

You'd better leave, Mafe.

Cheers.

Hey, about the trip,

how did it go with the tip I gave you?

I was late.

It was a very good tip, thank you. But...

one of your own had already killed him.

That's the problem with working with amateurs.

You have to know who to pay

so things will work.

Here in Colombia, nothing works without money.

The police won't work without a kickback.

You're getting bored in your country

while I ask for permission to take a holiday.

My friend, you know that if you want

to go over there with Mafe, you're welcome.

Don't even talk to me about her.

Why? Is something the matter?

She's dating a criminal.

Cecilio, every man with a daughter

sees her boyfriends as criminals.

No, no.

This one's a real criminal.

One of those guys they call "The Internationals".

They think they're the kings of the world.

-Are you sure? -Of course.

I'm having her followed by one of my best men.

He's a ruffian from Las Cruces, remember?

-The place is a rat hole. -What are you going to do?

María Fernanda.

Come here. Come, María Fernanda.

Say hello. Don't be rude.

Hi, Mafe.

Where have you been?

María Fernanda!

María Fernanda, come here!

-You better answer me! -Don't start now!

You're going out with a scumbag!

Answer me now!

-Answer me! -You're just a snob!

You're not seeing him again!

Answer me, goddamn it!

Hey, Dimi!

You bastard, how could you start without me?

Gotcha!

Let's hear it for Fausto, he's in one piece!

Fausto. You're my hero.

Are you okay? Anything the matter?

No, why? It's fine.

They arrived okay.

Our contact at Immigration is still there.

Great.

Here.

Not here. Let's go downstairs.

Come on.

So tell me, how did it go with the trip?

Very well.

The Turk's passports are much better than the other ones.

The Turk. Now he's classy.

The guy works well. We have to listen to him.

The diamond buyer is coming to Bogota next week.

Okay, say no more.

We're each responsible for our part.

And this one...

is for you, Fausto.

Because of the risks you took on that trip.

Let's dance.

Look at him dance.

My partner, come on.

He's the best.
