The head of state leaves the Nariño House the upcoming th of August.
He requested conscience from the electorate.
Fellow citizens, your vote must be free and casted in good conscience.
It's the acknowledgement of the dignity of our home...

journalist missing
Isn't he the man from the skinny lady that is so hot?
She's so horny.
Saw her the other day, she was with another guy.
Such an ugly guy wih that woman.
What's wrong cross-eyed?
both international and national observers have been very attentive with the multiple
claims reported days before by the electoral observation mission regarding
the transference of votes, the selling of conscience, electoral fraud
and paramilitarism.
They are approximately 2,000 people between locals and foreigners
who have travelled across the national territory...
Morning.
Hello...
Yes...
One moment...
One moment please...
Morning.
How may I help you?
I need to speak to the Mayor.
Come back on Monday.
It needs to be today, it's urgent.
Yes... no I don't see him, he's not around...
Yes...
He's not in.
Hello beautiful!
Get out!
Morning.
I need to talk to the commanding officer.
With my lieutenant?
I don't know, with the commandant.
It's very urgent.
He's busy.
I come to report a massacre.
After I finish my breakfast I'll notify him.
What?
Wait a minute while I finish my breakfast and then I'll go tell him.
Didn't you hear what I said!
What are you doing?
Mrs. Abigail...
Yes, may I help you?
Yes, Well I...
I come to report a...
One minute
We just heard the Canary of the Valley...
And if you like fresh meat, you need to stop by Cheap-o-Butcher's.
The best cuts at the best prices.
Cheap-o-Butcher's at 1th Street No. 3-80.
And now we'll satisfy Mrs. Inesita de Pena's...
request from the Mandalay farm with the song "True Love"
by the Alazan of the Ranchera.
What were you saying?
Yes... I come to report a massacre.
A massacre?
Hey!
What is it that you want to report?
The thing is that someone killed lot of people and then threw
them near my house, at the farm.
No shit!
Really?
Come on, let's go take a look!
Thank you, you're very kind.
Hip hip hurray... Vladimir for Mayor!
Come in.
Hello Pulgarin
Mayor.
How's everything going?
Very well Mayor, excellent!
Did the people arrive?
Yes sir, I brought you people from Sevilla, Alcala, Ulloa...
You brought only "paisas" then?
You know Mayor that those are the ones who vote.
Pulgarin, hear me out. You have to keep those people here
because if they go back to their own towns to vote, we'll have serious problems.
No, no Mayor, the only problem I have right now is what to give them for lunch.
What do you mean? Didn't they have breakfast already?
Yes Mayor but those sandwhiches they handed out were bad and few.
There was even one with green ham and when I threw it to a dog,
it ran away from it.
You don't say...
Don't worry, I'll take care of it.
Ok Mayor.
Irma...
Irma!
Sir, someone is on the phone for you.
Who is it?
Fabio, from the radio station.
Why didn't you tell him that I wasn't here?
Because you didn't tell me to do so, sir.
Fine, put him through.
Yes, Sir.
Don't worry Pulgarin, go do your thing and I'll take care of everything.
Ok Mayor
Hello.
Good morning Mayor, this is Fabio Rivera,
the journalist from the radio station.
Yes, yes... How may I help you Fabio?
Two things sir: the first is to inquire about the payment
for the political announcements.
What political announcements?
The ones I was told to air on behalf of Vladimir's campaign.
Oh no, you have to charge him directly for that then.
Oh... ok sir, but since you were the one who ordered them...
Don't you even dare say that again, remember that us public officers
cannot participate in politics.
Is that right?
Of course, that is against the constitution.
I just helped you by making the connection but nothing else,
it was just a favor.
Hello?
Ah, yes sir... I was just thinking that maybe I lost that money then.
Well, I wouldn't know about that.
Why don't you contact Vladimir's uncle directly?
Don Anibal!
Let's continue later because I'm very busy.
Err, sir there's another thing that I have to tell you...
the cross-eyed guy came by the station earlier, the one who lives
with that girl, what's her name?
Yes, yes, so what?
Well, he came to tell me something about a massacre.
A massacre?
Yes.
For real? Where?
I'm not sure.
What else did he tell you then?
Nothing else, only that because at that precise moment
the lieutenant arrived and arrested him.
They even took away his bicycle.
They arrested him? Why?
I really don't know, but the matter seemed serious, very serious.
How strange because everything seems calm around here.
Not really... there have been many missing persons lately.
Haven't you seen the posters?
Yes, yes of course, but those things don't happen here.
Let's pray they don't... but I already informed the commission anyway.
What commission?
Those people who are investigating the disappearings.
One minute Fabio, which commission did you call precisely?
The one with the Yankees pro human rights that are inquiring about the missing persons.
I think it's better that they come to verify this, in the name of truth and all.
Sure, sure. Let's do something then, you take care of them while
I find out what happened with the cross-eyed.
Fabio, my friend, let's deal with this very discreetly.
Yes sir with pleasure, but since I will be very busy taking care of these people,
I'm going to have to ask you a favor then.
Tell me.
To please talk to Vladimir about the payment for the political announcements.
What happened here?
This looks ugly...
very ugly.
Officer!
Yes lieutenant?
Listen...
Let's mark a perimeter to keep clear the crime scene.
Ok, sir.
But... these people weren't killed here.
How do you know that?
The crime scene is where the corpses show up.
Who else knows about this?
No... no one.
No one for sure?
For sure.
Where is your wife?
Why?
Because I need to know where all the implicated parties are.
Neither my wife or my son know anything
Son?
You know something? These dead ones aren't from here.
I don't recognize anyone.
The problem is finding where they came from.
Hello?
Hello, with Tulua's Office of the Mayor?
Who do you need to speak to?
Mr. Tamayo, please.
Who may I ask is calling?
The Mayor of Andalucia, tell him it's urgent.
Dad!
Hello?
Hello Mr. Tamazo, how's everything?
Hello Ramiro, busy as usual, you know.
Yes, I can imagine.
Tell me, how can I help you?
Look Tamayo, I'm calling to ask you to send someone to pick up
what you left here in Andalucia
What is it Ramiro?
What do you mean what? Don't be an ass man!
What, what, what?
Either you come over and pick this up, or I"ll drop them off at your office.
What is it that you're going to bring? Come on over, I'll be expecting you.
Don't play fool with me now! Asshole.
Let me see that machete.
That machete is from my house.
So you didn't hear anything last night?
No, nothing.
And your wife and kid didn't hear anything either?
No.
So they were already dead then?
Where are they?
Who?
Umm... they are at home. I already told you.
Go get them then.
But... I don't see the need in dragging them into this.
Well, let me tell you something...
until this mess is resolved, you and your family are deep in it.
Come on, go get them.
Tamayo.
You really think those dead ones are from there?
Where else then.
What a bright moon, dammit.
Cuero!
Carmen
Carmen!
Do you have any water?
Yes command post, come in.
Lieutenant, a civilian is asking for a...
what's his name?
Salvador Garcia.
He says that the civilian was arrested this morning.
Negative command post, the civilian Salvador Garcia is not under arrest.
Who's asking?
From the radio station.
What do you think?
That asshole is looking for what it is no missed
Hi Irma.
Hello sir?
Has anything strange happened over there?
What do you mean?
Yes... has someone stopped by the office?
Yes but you don't answer. There have been many people:
Vladimir, Pulgarin, your wife called...
No Irma, I mean strange people.
Strange? well...
Let's do something, if anyone strange comes looking for me,
you call me immediately, alright?
OK sir.
Look, I better be getting back to the command post, OK?
Don't you even think of leaving me here?
No, but I can't leave the post unsupervised either.
In that case you should be the one staying.
Or do you think I have nothing to do at the office,
especially on election day?
I'll send you back up then.
Forget it! I'm not staying here with this mess all by myself.
Are you crazy?
Then let's do something about it fast or night is going to fall upon us!
And what is it that you suggest idiot?
I told you not to come out.
What is going on here, Salvador?
How would I know?
Where are these people from?
Nobody knows.
Mr. Anibal, how are you?
Where have you been?
I was looking or you.
How's everything going?
Well, well, everything is taken care of, the people arrived, the elections began...
all very well.
And many people arrived?
Yes, yes, many, truckloads of them.
Oh ok, then wait for me and I'll stop by so we can grab some lunch.
No, no, I'm sorry Mr. Anibal but I'm not in town right now.
How is that, where are you then?
I'm right now dealing with a very serious matter, let me tell you.
What happened?
Mr. Anibal...
can you imagine that someone has dropped us off a truckload of dead people.
Among those people is Silvio.
Silvio who?
Mrs. Abigail's son, the masseur lady.
Which is him?
That one, the one in the red shirt.
And where did they drop them?
In the middle of Salvador Garcia's crops.
Who?
The cross-eyed.
How is that? I just saw that idiot at the town plaza this morning?
Yes of course, he was actually spreading the word around.
And who did he tell?
No, just the police lieutenant and myself.
No one else?
No, nobody else, I assure you.
Be careful with that mess Ramiro, it sounds too strange.
I'm going to see what I can find out. Call me if anything happens.
Yes, yes sir.
We have to get that guy out of there.
No, forget it.
The only one we have to get away from here is our boy.
Yes sir, we have to take him out of there and give him to his mother.
I told you it can't be done, Carmen!
But why? Why are these ones here for then?
These people need to be taken away from here.
And where to? Town?
Wherever!
Sir, where are you?
No Irma, I'm all caught up here.
What was I going to tell you?
Someone is waiting for you here.
Who?
Fabio from the radio station and some gringos.
And why didn't you call me before, Irma?
I called you before but you don't answer.
What are they doing?
Waiting for you like I said.
Then tell them that I'm on my way over there.
Yes sir! Oh, before I forget, Pulgarin is driving me mad about some lunches.
The sandwhiches are already finished?
It seems so.
Then tell them to eat shit.
Yes command post, come in.
Go out to the road, someone wants to talk to you.
Five-five command post, I'll let you know when I'm there.
Mom, are they going to kill us?
No dear
Hello chief... Why didn't you tell me about this mess?
Cause we just got here.
Don't bullshit me; I know you've been here for a while!
So what happened, and where are the dead ones from?
The Mayor says they brought them from Tulua.
Tulua, and why from Tulua?
And who else is in there?
There's the Mayor, the officer accompanying me, the cross-eyed with his wife and a little kid.
Nooo... that's a lot of people man.
Look chief, I need you to keep supervising the situation.
That's why I haven't left, I'm on top of it.
I'm going to send someone to fix it, ok?
Ok Mr. Anibal, thanks a lot.
And what if we pull him out of there?
No no no, you better forget about it...
It's too complicated.
And Mrs. Abigail?
Well, she doesn't know...
Or did you tell her something?
Let's go home, mom.
Come here son.
No, this guy is not picking up.
I don't know where he might be.
What should we do then?
Keep waiting I guess.
Let's wait a little longer then.
Some people are coming to take care of this.
What people?
Some that are being sent over here.
Nooo, let's not bring any more people into this.
Straighten yourself up!
You look like a guerrilla!
Yes, Sir.
You know what?
I think we need too get rid of these ones.
Are you out of your mind?
I mean, sending them home, while we fix this.
Hey Garcia...
Bring us water, ok?
This is going to take a while you know.
Hey Edgar...
There's one from here...
From our town.
You don't say, which one?
The one with the mustache...
He's Mrs. Abigail's son.
Silvio? No, this one's not Silvio.
Yes he is.
Didn't he move to the coast?
No, I don't know.
Let's go for water then.
He was expected to be back these days.
Mrs. Abigail, the masseur?
He lived for that old lady.
Really Carmen? No shit!
Cuero, search for his identification.
Hey Carmen, do you recognize anyone else from town?
No.
Keep looking then.
Let's get out of here.
And these were the ones supposed to fix the problem?
Hey... Who were these people?
Don't be lazy, keep looking!
Hello?
How many dead people is it that you have over there?
Mmm... around fifty.
Fifty!? No shit!
And who was the savage that killed all those people?
No they're just taking advantage that we're in the middle of elections.
They're taking advantage that you're a bunch of idiots.
Where's that policeman?
Which one?
What do you mean which one?
Quiñonez!
The rake?
Don't dare call him like that or he gets furious.
Hello, Mr. Anibal?
How is it possible that someone drops off fifty corpses in town and you don't even notice?
No Mr. Anibal, but we're already following a trail.
Then you better make it fast because I can't afford to loose control of the town,
especially today.
Yes Mr. Anibal, but those people you sent over here left without fixing anything.
That's because I thought there were three or four corpses, not fifty!
Just big man...
Then what should I do Mr. Anibal?
Get rid of those dead ones and make it fast.
What did you find?
What about the water then?
Hey Garcia...
You stay with us.
Leave.
Where to?
Anywhere but here!
Is it four o'clock already? So fast.
Look, fireworks at the town plaza.
Hello Irma, what is going on?
A lot of things Sir!
Vladimir is saying that you betrayed him because you don't answer his calls
and you didn't even vote.
Really?
Oh, and Morcillo's people are already celebrating.
Why? Hey, is that journalist Fabio from the radio station still around?
Fabio? Nooo... he left a long time ago.
Where did he go?
To look...
No shit.
Hey, "crossy-covery"...
Your wife get lost with the water then?
You say "crossy-covery"...
Oh, shit.
You see?
That happens for being a glutton.
Lieutenant... I'm just feeling fatigued.
Don't eat that anymore, you're going to get diarrhea!
Hey, what happened?
Hand me those people's identifications.
Hand them to me!
What are you going to do?
We have to fix this at any price.
Don't go fuck it up now.
Who do you think you're talking to?
Hello Fabio?
Mayor, we've been looking for you all afternoon.
Yes, I'm sorry, but I had to step in and take care of the massacre case,
you know...
Oh, so you found the dead people?
Yes of course...
An atrocity, you can't imagine it.
They killed around fifty.
Fifty?
They fucked up the elections for us. These people were going straight to vote.
Then all the dead ones were from here?
Yes... no, yes, you know something?
I'm going to have to suspend the elections for security reasons.
But the elections already ended.
Yes but this is a very serious matter.
Ok but where are you now?
At the cross-eyed's farm...
At Salvador Garcia's.
You know where it is?
You get to the cross-roads outside town, then turn left and continue driving...
This is a mayor fuck-up.
You're right my lieutenant.
Ok, we're on our way there then.
Ok, we'll wait for you here.
Excuse me ma'am but I really had to go.
Alright, we're going to do the following: we're going to download the truck.
Again?
We have to leave them here because there's a human rights commission
coming this way with the press.
You see?
What?
Be serious man.
What are you going to tell Anibal now?
Nothing... that it was the Mayor's decision...
and don't say anymore.
Or what? What?
Hello?
It seems there's no one home.
Well... let's better go.
What?!
Yes Mr. Anibal, I think the best thing to do is to report the massacre...
Look, Morcillo apparently won the elections against your nephew,
so now we have to let the shit hit the fan.
Are you fucking stupid!?
I give a rat's ass if Morcillo or the idiot of Vladimir wins.
I had that taken care of a long time ago.
So you haven't done anything with those motherfucking corpses?
Yes of course... they are already loaded up in the truck
So what are you going to do then?
I think Mr. Anibal that the best thing to do in this case is to...
throw them in the river.
Are you out of your mind!?
Don't you know that I get blamed for every corpse that floats down the river?
Then what should I do Mr. Anibal?
What should I do?
Throw them wherever you fucking want but far away from here and fast.
Ok, Sir...
Look Ramiro, and if anyone else learns about this you'll all be part of that pile.
Start loading up then.
Loading what?
No, go fuck yourself.
No, lieutenant don't fuck...
Get out.
What did you say?
It's best that you leave.
Yep... just go.
Go fuck yourselves!
Get out of here! Get out now!
Not that one.
That one has to be delivered to his mother.
No Carmen, don't come messing things up again!
You stop messing around!
What are you going to do Ramiro!?
Do whatever you have to do!
Bonsoir Mr. Commandant.
