Distrito Salvaje (2018) s01e04 Episode Script
Bribery
Good morning.
My name is Yuleidy Flórez.
I'm calling from Telestar Comunicaciones and I'd like to ask some quick questions.
Are you a fan of cycling, golf, and Formula One? - Do you know the channels we offer? - You know what, miss? Don't bother me anymore.
Nairo Quintana finished second last Tour.
How can you miss A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES They told me they saw you with somebody else at the Metro Club.
Should I be jealous? The French are nervous about the hospital closing.
Besides, you are not the only ones interested in their money.
Fuck off, Henri It's not the first time somebody interferes with our business.
Interfere? This is much more serious than interfering.
Look, until you work that out, forget about us.
That prosecutor only wants her 15 minutes of fame.
What do you want us to do? I don't know.
Same as last time.
That was an exception.
If you're not interested in the highway business, - that's the jewel of the crown - You don't have the permits.
We will have them.
Look.
Once again.
Forget about the money until you resolve the hospital situation.
Look, Edgar.
That prosecutor can fuck you up and mostly you.
Don't forget your family's company is the co-signer of all your loans.
Without our money, your dad will be fucked.
What did he say? They're pulling the plug on us.
- That French son of a bitch.
- That fucker.
Just like that? It's either that or getting rid of the prosecutor.
- We already did it with the inspector.
- We're not criminals.
Henri can't ask us to do that.
But it's so easy for him.
He demands and washes his hands of it.
No, man.
Let's do things our way.
Period.
Okay.
- Good morning.
- Hello, honey.
- How did you sleep? - Fine, thanks.
They called and said we need to pay for the water bill.
- Isn't water for free? - No, it's not, son.
Don't worry.
Good morning.
Good morning.
So? How did you do with that chick? Did you seduce her? No, I didn't seduce her.
You weren't trained for that.
But don't worry, I know how chicks work.
Look, women look for a man who takes the initiative.
Make them feel you're confident.
So, you need to take the initiative.
Ask her out, take her to the movies, go get a cup of coffee.
Maybe a fancy restaurant.
Oh, it's true you can't.
But don't open up too much either.
If you open up too much, they'll make a fool out of you.
To summarize, take the initiative, take the reins.
Smile.
And don't let them fool you.
Like you and Juliana? Keep walking, it's getting late.
Did they follow you? I take offense at that question.
Do you like it? Yeah, it's amazing.
Maybe one of these chairs could be yours one day if you behave.
So, what do we have to do? Today's payday.
Governor Galves keeps fucking with the highway thing.
That's 250,000 dollars.
- What about the other one? - Prosecutor León became a more serious problem than we thought.
That's 100,000.
I think we should do the same thing we did with the other woman.
And I think you'll only do as I say, nothing more.
At lunchtime, she'll be shopping at a mall near the Prosecutor's Office.
If you'll excuse me, sir.
Hang on a minute.
What's in that briefcase? Don't ask what you don't need to know, motherfucker.
Careful, Benjamín! I'm so sorry.
They're so hard to get hold of when they're that age.
- Don't worry.
- He's an angel.
I just love him, and the girl too.
It's just that they're terrible when they turn nine.
- Yeah.
If you'll excuse me.
- You were with the Teófilo Column, right? Beg your pardon? I remember you in Caguán.
I've been reinserted for four years now.
It's good to meet comrades who go back to civilian life.
- See you later.
- See you later.
Dad? Have you thought about a future for Mom and my siblings? What's the matter with you, Edgar? The company's been profitable for 60 years now.
If you don't fuck things up, it should stay that way for another 60.
Did you put all the eggs in one basket, or ? - Eggs? - Or did you leave some money on the side? What eggs are you talking about? No.
Everything we made we reinvested.
Everything.
Cabeto! - Sir? - Come here.
What is it, sir? We're taking the new guy on tour.
Yes, sir.
Tell Misury too.
- Yes, sir.
- Go.
Welcome, Mr.
Camo.
Do you have an appointment? Yes, sir.
With the Governor.
Oh, yes.
In the private room.
But he's not here yet.
Good, we'll wait for him there, then.
PRIVATE Mr.
Camo.
Your companions, sir The dress code.
The what? The club's dress code is strictly jacket and tie.
Do you happen to have something to lend them and make them look better? Hurry up, Carmelo.
I should be at the Prosecutor's Office.
- But we must follow a security protocol.
- Tell that to my husband.
Sandro, remind me about the pizzas for Camila tomorrow, or she'll kill me.
Prosecutor, mom, wife, lover.
Man! This is tough.
Thanks.
Mauricio Camo.
You finally got the membership, huh? They'd let anybody in these days.
Look.
A couple of hillbillies in the big city.
Camo, you know I don't like Bogotá at all.
I only like restaurants here.
There aren't even chicks! But I had to travel urgently from Girardot for four hours.
And what for? To see some thugs.
So, talk fast.
I really wanna leave this place.
Yes, to the point.
Whatever you say.
I'd like to talk about the Eastern Corridor.
You have permits on several important land plots there.
I do.
But you know what, lackey? I told your bosses I'd sign nothing.
If you don't, we're gonna have a problem.
We're gonna have to go around it, and the numbers just won't add up.
I don't give a fuck.
Talk to Invías or the Minister of Transport.
Don't you always come up with something? Then do it.
Camo, I can't allow a six-lane highway to go through a wetlands area.
I need those wetlands to clean the Bogotá river.
Why the fuck would you want to clean it? You want to bathe in it, or what? Let's work as a team.
Let's find a way.
The thing is, I don't like your team.
Even if we're 250,000? Open up the hospitals.
I'm not for sale.
You go and tell your people I'm after them.
I'm not for sale.
I won't sell out.
Let's be clear.
You're no saint.
Remember Construcciones & Contratas funded your reelection campaign.
That comes at a price.
So, you're gonna take that money and you're going back to your shithole town.
You're gonna grab a fucking pen and you're signing the permit I need to get our fucking highway where we fucking want it! Who the fuck do you think you're talking to, you fucking guerrilla? You fat fuck! This shit looks better on you than on me.
I don't give a fuck who you are.
You might as well be Uribe himself.
I don't give a fuck about that.
In the end, it all boils down to who can harm whom the most.
And I swear, in that game, this fucking guerrilla, as you called me, will always win.
Sign the permit.
Otherwise, next time we meet, we're having breakfast with your family by your fucking Bogotá river.
Come, Marius.
Is it true your dad was a guerrilla? My dad was a guerrilla leader, he was like a boss.
They almost killed him.
I saw it.
- Wow, Marius.
Is that so? - You bet.
But now he hauls boxes at a supermarket.
That's cool.
My dad's a notary public and he changes the station when there's a guerrilla on.
For real.
At least your fathers do something.
Mine's nothing.
He still lives off my grandpa.
Dad says we need to support the reinsertion process.
It's not their fault.
Besides, we don't get to choose our fathers.
What matters is what you do.
Yeah, I agree with Villy.
What matters is that we study and do things on our own.
So, in the end, we don't depend on anybody.
- Are you for real? - He got all philosophical.
This guy's something.
Are you for real, Mario? What about your mom? My mom My mom died.
I live with my grandma and my dad.
Why are there so many cops? Thirteen point two.
That's like 12 grand, right? Twelve thousand pesos for a watermelon? I can get a few beers with that.
I could even have some left for a joint.
It's on me.
Maybe I can get you to talk.
- Hey.
- What? How can I get a raise here? You can't.
There aren't any here.
Look.
Underneath that watermelon there are 300 guys who'd do your job for half the money, or around the corner.
Why? You need money, or what? - Hello.
- Hello.
Nice to meet you.
- Ãlvaro Vázquez.
- Verónica.
- At your service.
- Thanks.
Alright, I'll leave you to it.
Take care.
- Bye.
- Bye.
Hi.
Look, I've been meaning to I've been meaning to apologize for what happened.
Sure.
After you left, they told me what had happened with that guy.
Well Then we'd better leave it at that, right? - I really want to take it easy.
- Do you? Nice.
That's exactly what I came to tell you.
We should take it easy.
Tell you what.
You come up with something.
Whatever you want.
What time, where, whatever you want.
No restaurants or wine, or No restaurants? No.
Bye.
So, you had something to do with Prosecutor León's bribe? The one on TV? No, I didn't have anything to do with that.
We were sent to talk to a Governor.
Something about a highway permit.
Tell me more.
We're getting close, and it makes them nervous.
- Maybe we should increase security.
- No.
I don't want to agitate things even more at home.
It's not the first time they tried to bribe me, so we can handle it, right? What's next, madam? We triangulate the information our insider gave us.
The Corridor is part of the Bogotá Plan.
Let's look for the companies that have offered bids and cross-check them with the ones for Hospital de Salitre.
- Got it.
- What about the Governor's bribe? Will you report it? That's an irregular cooperation agreement, Rama.
It's very hard to prove.
And, no.
I want to lay low until we are positive who we are dealing with.
One thing, madam.
- They tried to bribe you.
- They did.
But I didn't see anything.
Carmelo didn't see anything.
There were no cameras at the store.
So? So, we're increasing the pressure.
They will make a mistake any moment now.
And criminals need to be lucky every day, right? We only need to be lucky once.
Sandro, put me through to Mallarino, please.
Get ready.
This time, we're gonna fuck them.
Yes Too much police.
What happened? They took an elementary school kid.
Really? They canceled class.
I'm waiting for Dad, but he's taking long to come.
I don't want to leave alone.
Can I ask you a question? Yeah.
What about you? Are you single? Do you have a boyfriend, or what? I'm single.
But I did have a boyfriend, a lawyer.
We dated for almost a year, but no.
It turned out he was married.
The worst part was that, when he told me, I didn't leave him.
I tried to justify it and talk to him.
A month later, he left me.
That was it.
That's strong.
It's good.
I got it at the hospital.
It's good to have a laugh.
What about you? What do you mean? Where do you come from? Why do you ask? I don't know.
The treatments.
That wound.
My first year as a nurse was at a military operation base.
That was no street knife.
That was a combat knife.
Look, I think I should better tell you the truth.
I was with the guerrillas for many years.
Now, I'm what they call "reinserted.
" Right.
Are you with someone? I live with my mom.
Do you? And my son.
Mario.
His mom's no longer around.
You don't want to? Yeah, I do.
Prosecutor Daniela León is with me this morning.
She's in charge of the investigation of the murder of treasury inspector Flórez, which seems to be related to recent corruption cases in Bogotá.
Our regular guest, Senator Federico Ibargüen, is also here.
One of the spokesmen for the young sector promoting a reform movement in the Senate.
The Bogotá 2030 plan, a step towards the future, or a corruption sewer? What are you studying this early? Algebra.
Algebra.
We must investigate and prosecute these corruption cases in depth, but it's no good if Bogotá I shouldn't bother you, then.
Corruption must not hinder progress.
And you, Madam Prosecutor? The Prosecutor's Office isn't against progress, quite the contrary.
As I guess the Senator isn't against complying with the law.
Ãlex, I think progress must be founded What's the matter? Are you okay, Mario? Have you heard what happened? Another kid went missing.
How? Where? San Pascal.
No kidding.
Jhon's son goes to that school.
- Jhon was at the supermarket.
- No, not him.
Yesterday, they kidnapped a kid at school.
- Anyway, someone else is on the case.
- What? - I told you to - Don't.
Not you.
You're too much into this.
I'll be on this case, whether you assign me or not, colonel.
Even if I don't get to sleep.
You won't be on it, Duque.
I've had nightmares about Lucas's case for weeks.
I need this.
I need to do it right.
I'm asking you, please.
Quite the contrary.
As I guess the Senator isn't against complying with the law.
Not at all.
Ãlex, I think progress must be founded on a solid base.
But this progress in particular has its foundations eaten away by a caste of corrupt termites.
Excuse me, Senator, but some of them share the Senate floor with you.
Feel free to investigate me, Madam Prosecutor.
I absolutely agree with her, but I also think we must be very careful with generalizing and falling into polarizing populist speeches that are in fashion in our country nowadays.
Like any other country in the world, the administrative and political system has some gray areas that, of course, must be eradicated.
They're not gray areas, Senator.
They're corruption black holes.
Madam Prosecutor, some days ago, the hospital contract review began.
- Do you intend to investigate further? - We don't intend to leave it at that.
The Prosecutor's Office will review all the bids for big transport infrastructure tenders in the capital, including highways.
Any terms that don't strictly comply with the Treasury's recommendations might be declared null and void.
I am truly amazed, Madam Prosecutor.
How can you explain that to the mothers who need to wake up at 4:30 a.
m.
to take their children to school due to the capital's traffic jams? Or workers who must spend four or five hours a day in a car or public transport? It's the city's progress that's at stake here.
You can't keep Bogotá from growing.
It's you who must explain that to people, Senator.
Not me.
My job is enforcing the law.
It's crystal-clear there have been irregularities and illegalities in these big tenders.
Even though our Office has been pressured "Pressured"? Do you mean "threatened"? We won't be intimidated.
We'll carry on.
And, if I need to put people in jail, no matter who, I will, even those trying to intimidate me.
If I need to stop Bogotá's plan, I will.
- That's so sad.
- I will stop it.
You can be sure of that.
- Madam Prosecutor - I'm sorry, we've run out of time.
Let's go to Fontibón.
I'm sorry, Senator.
This gets on my nerves.
No need, Madam Prosecutor.
Many should get as involved as you.
- It's a commitment with Colombia.
- Thank you, Senator.
Please, call me Federico.
Federico.
Thanks.
Didn't I tell you? We gotta come down hard on her.
Can you take care of that? Sure.
You know I don't fail.
I have information about where she'll be tonight, write it down.
We can't do it tonight.
- If you can't handle it, I can get - No, I can handle it.
Tell me.
Great.
See you.
Take your money from there.
Fucker.
A new month begins tomorrow.
I'll assess the work of each one of you to decide who will be the employee of the month.
I'm telling Jhon because he's new.
But all of you should pay attention, although you seem to know everything.
The employee's picture will be hung up on the employee area during the month.
And the person will be given an identifying badge.
Any questions? Excuse me.
What's the award? What do you mean? You said there was an award, right? So, I wanted to know whether it was money, a raise, or Or one of those promotion trips.
Jhon.
This supermarket's operation depends on a delicate balance.
Don't fuck it up.
Besides, you, better than anybody, know and understand things aren't done for money alone.
Or wasn't that what you were taught at the guerrilla? Get to work! Something came up.
Total security now! I saw you on TV and I didn't like it.
It was just a threat, just that.
Daniela, do you know whom you're aiming at? We know they're into Hospital Salitre and the Eastern Corridor.
We're analyzing what those two projects have in common.
You're stepping into a very dangerous dynamic.
Please don't drag the Prosecutor's Office.
Madam, you'll be late.
See you tomorrow.
Let's go.
Thanks.
- Good evening, sir.
- Good evening.
Any movement? Over.
No news.
Over.
Roger that.
Over.
Bring some food.
And a blanket.
All you've done is sleep.
Jay, are you there yet? Yeah, I'm here.
All's good here.
No news.
Over.
- Madam, about the bribe - Don't even think about it, Carmelo.
There's no way you could have known.
- Pull over here.
- Yes, sir.
Tell me about the pizzas.
Madam, you said four pizzas: two pepperoni, one with arugula and anchovies, and one with prosciutto.
- See? You always forget.
I'll go with you.
- It's what you said.
I'm coming with you.
Please, madam.
I'd rather you stayed in the car.
Then - Are you better? - Yeah, fortunately it wasn't serious.
Great.
Let's see.
What do I owe you? Bye, then.
Cabeto's on his way there.
Chacho, do you copy? The chief's on his way.
What's with that noise? Black.
Over.
Chacho? Cabeto, do you copy? Over.
They're blocked, man.
A courtesy from the gentleman at that table.
Bye.
Thanks.
- Okay.
I'll get the pizzas.
- Let's go.
Does anybody copy?

- Maybe we should increase security.
- No.
I don't want to agitate things even more at home.
It's not the first time they tried to bribe me, so we can handle it, right? What's next, madam? We triangulate the information our insider gave us.
The Corridor is part of the Bogotá Plan.
Let's look for the companies that have offered bids and cross-check them with the ones for Hospital de Salitre.
- Got it.
- What about the Governor's bribe? Will you report it? That's an irregular cooperation agreement, Rama.
It's very hard to prove.
And, no.
I want to lay low until we are positive who we are dealing with.
One thing, madam.
- They tried to bribe you.
- They did.
But I didn't see anything.
Carmelo didn't see anything.
There were no cameras at the store.
So? So, we're increasing the pressure.
They will make a mistake any moment now.
And criminals need to be lucky every day, right? We only need to be lucky once.
Sandro, put me through to Mallarino, please.
Get ready.
This time, we're gonna fuck them.
Yes Too much police.
What happened? They took an elementary school kid.
Really? They canceled class.
I'm waiting for Dad, but he's taking long to come.
I don't want to leave alone.
Can I ask you a question? Yeah.
What about you? Are you single? Do you have a boyfriend, or what? I'm single.
But I did have a boyfriend, a lawyer.
We dated for almost a year, but no.
It turned out he was married.
The worst part was that, when he told me, I didn't leave him.
I tried to justify it and talk to him.
A month later, he left me.
That was it.
That's strong.
It's good.
I got it at the hospital.
It's good to have a laugh.
What about you? What do you mean? Where do you come from? Why do you ask? I don't know.
The treatments.
That wound.
My first year as a nurse was at a military operation base.
That was no street knife.
That was a combat knife.
Look, I think I should better tell you the truth.
I was with the guerrillas for many years.
Now, I'm what they call "reinserted.
" Right.
Are you with someone? I live with my mom.
Do you? And my son.
Mario.
His mom's no longer around.
You don't want to? Yeah, I do.
Prosecutor Daniela León is with me this morning.
She's in charge of the investigation of the murder of treasury inspector Flórez, which seems to be related to recent corruption cases in Bogotá.
Our regular guest, Senator Federico Ibargüen, is also here.
One of the spokesmen for the young sector promoting a reform movement in the Senate.
The Bogotá 2030 plan, a step towards the future, or a corruption sewer? What are you studying this early? Algebra.
Algebra.
We must investigate and prosecute these corruption cases in depth, but it's no good if Bogotá I shouldn't bother you, then.
Corruption must not hinder progress.
And you, Madam Prosecutor? The Prosecutor's Office isn't against progress, quite the contrary.
As I guess the Senator isn't against complying with the law.
Ãlex, I think progress must be founded What's the matter? Are you okay, Mario? Have you heard what happened? Another kid went missing.
How? Where? San Pascal.
No kidding.
Jhon's son goes to that school.
- Jhon was at the supermarket.
- No, not him.
Yesterday, they kidnapped a kid at school.
- Anyway, someone else is on the case.
- What? - I told you to - Don't.
Not you.
You're too much into this.
I'll be on this case, whether you assign me or not, colonel.
Even if I don't get to sleep.
You won't be on it, Duque.
I've had nightmares about Lucas's case for weeks.
I need this.
I need to do it right.
I'm asking you, please.
Quite the contrary.
As I guess the Senator isn't against complying with the law.
Not at all.
Ãlex, I think progress must be founded on a solid base.
But this progress in particular has its foundations eaten away by a caste of corrupt termites.
Excuse me, Senator, but some of them share the Senate floor with you.
Feel free to investigate me, Madam Prosecutor.
I absolutely agree with her, but I also think we must be very careful with generalizing and falling into polarizing populist speeches that are in fashion in our country nowadays.
Like any other country in the world, the administrative and political system has some gray areas that, of course, must be eradicated.
They're not gray areas, Senator.
They're corruption black holes.
Madam Prosecutor, some days ago, the hospital contract review began.
- Do you intend to investigate further? - We don't intend to leave it at that.
The Prosecutor's Office will review all the bids for big transport infrastructure tenders in the capital, including highways.
Any terms that don't strictly comply with the Treasury's recommendations might be declared null and void.
I am truly amazed, Madam Prosecutor.
How can you explain that to the mothers who need to wake up at 4:30 a.
m.
to take their children to school due to the capital's traffic jams? Or workers who must spend four or five hours a day in a car or public transport? It's the city's progress that's at stake here.
You can't keep Bogotá from growing.
It's you who must explain that to people, Senator.
Not me.
My job is enforcing the law.
It's crystal-clear there have been irregularities and illegalities in these big tenders.
Even though our Office has been pressured "Pressured"? Do you mean "threatened"? We won't be intimidated.
We'll carry on.
And, if I need to put people in jail, no matter who, I will, even those trying to intimidate me.
If I need to stop Bogotá's plan, I will.
- That's so sad.
- I will stop it.
You can be sure of that.
- Madam Prosecutor - I'm sorry, we've run out of time.
Let's go to Fontibón.
I'm sorry, Senator.
This gets on my nerves.
No need, Madam Prosecutor.
Many should get as involved as you.
- It's a commitment with Colombia.
- Thank you, Senator.
Please, call me Federico.
Federico.
Thanks.
Didn't I tell you? We gotta come down hard on her.
Can you take care of that? Sure.
You know I don't fail.
I have information about where she'll be tonight, write it down.
We can't do it tonight.
- If you can't handle it, I can get - No, I can handle it.
Tell me.
Great.
See you.
Take your money from there.
Fucker.
A new month begins tomorrow.
I'll assess the work of each one of you to decide who will be the employee of the month.
I'm telling Jhon because he's new.
But all of you should pay attention, although you seem to know everything.
The employee's picture will be hung up on the employee area during the month.
And the person will be given an identifying badge.
Any questions? Excuse me.
What's the award? What do you mean? You said there was an award, right? So, I wanted to know whether it was money, a raise, or Or one of those promotion trips.
Jhon.
This supermarket's operation depends on a delicate balance.
Don't fuck it up.
Besides, you, better than anybody, know and understand things aren't done for money alone.
Or wasn't that what you were taught at the guerrilla? Get to work! Something came up.
Total security now! I saw you on TV and I didn't like it.
It was just a threat, just that.
Daniela, do you know whom you're aiming at? We know they're into Hospital Salitre and the Eastern Corridor.
We're analyzing what those two projects have in common.
You're stepping into a very dangerous dynamic.
Please don't drag the Prosecutor's Office.
Madam, you'll be late.
See you tomorrow.
Let's go.
Thanks.
- Good evening, sir.
- Good evening.
Any movement? Over.
No news.
Over.
Roger that.
Over.
Bring some food.
And a blanket.
All you've done is sleep.
Jay, are you there yet? Yeah, I'm here.
All's good here.
No news.
Over.
- Madam, about the bribe - Don't even think about it, Carmelo.
There's no way you could have known.
- Pull over here.
- Yes, sir.
Tell me about the pizzas.
Madam, you said four pizzas: two pepperoni, one with arugula and anchovies, and one with prosciutto.
- See? You always forget.
I'll go with you.
- It's what you said.
I'm coming with you.
Please, madam.
I'd rather you stayed in the car.
Then - Are you better? - Yeah, fortunately it wasn't serious.
Great.
Let's see.
What do I owe you? Bye, then.
Cabeto's on his way there.
Chacho, do you copy? The chief's on his way.
What's with that noise? Black.
Over.
Chacho? Cabeto, do you copy? Over.
They're blocked, man.
A courtesy from the gentleman at that table.
Bye.
Thanks.
- Okay.
I'll get the pizzas.
- Let's go.
Does anybody copy?
