SCENE 1
COLOMBIAN RAINFOREST
FRANCISCA
Ready?
PILOT
Confirmed the money is all there
FRANCISCA
Then have a good one, it was a pleasure
PILOTO
Ok, but I´ll see you next week right?
FRANCISCA
No I don´t think so, Juvenal will be the one coming
PILOTO
And why´s that?
FRANCISCA
I´m retiring from this stuff
PILOTO
What do you mean? What happened?
FRANCISCA
Personal things
PILOTO
Oh I see, well it´s a shame, anyway I wish you luck
FRANCISCA
Thanks have a good one
PILOTO
Same for you
Hello?... I just delivered the boxes; the only thing missing is to wait for them to be opened

SCENE 2
BOGOTA
RESTAURANT
ESTEBAN
I insist on that we are not going to find our clientele in Bogota, we are going to find it in the provincial areas and specially in the conflict zone, I am perfectly aware of the problematic that the policy of coca eradication has caused, I know all the social problems that are behind it and specially the problems of the agricultural workers
MAN 1
¿ And? What with that?
ESTEBAN
That these people are legally unprotected
MAN 1
Oh and that is where we come in?
ESTEBAN
Exactly, I am certain that the government has been taking advantage of the powerless position of the agricultural workers ignoring the rights that are given to them by law because they are victims of violence and drug trafficking
MAN 1
Are we going to go against the government?
ESTEBAN
We are going to be on the victims’ side that is going to allow us to present ourselves as a valid option for these people

SCENE 4
CAR
MAN 2
The orders were already given just as you wanted them to be, and if my calculations aren´t wrong they should be executing them as we speak… ok… ok as soon as I have news I will get in contact with you… don´t worry I´m sure things are going to come out ok

SCENE 5
RAINFOREST
FRANCISCA
Excuse me gentlemen… I need you all to pay close attention to me, grab well the seed in your hands, the seed you are seeing here is much better than the one you find, much better than the one you have planted before, for you five who are the new guys I will teach you myself how it´s cultivated, how the process is and I need you to pay very close attention to every detail that I tell you

SCENE 6
BOGOTA
ESTEBAN´S APARTMENT
ESTEBAN
This is the secret of a good dry Martini, shake it, did you know it´s the drink of serenity?
MAN 2
I had no idea, to be honest with you
ESTEBAN
But you must know how to drink it
MAN 2
And how is that?
ESTEBAN
Two drinks are enough, the third one is overkill, but before we are missing the most important detail… it´s olives
MAN 2
Oh I get it! It´s the final touch
ESTEBAN
Ok, ¡Cheers!

SCENE 7
HOMERO´S PLANE
HOMERO
So Felix? Don´t tell me you´re afraid of airplanes?
FELIX

HOMERO
¡Ha, ha, ha! Stop screwing around, you have killed a lot of churchgoers and now so happens you are afraid of flying
FELIX
These gadgets fall too often
HOMERO
Listen, did you make sure that the place where we were going to meet with my children was really safe?
FELIX
Yes, before we took off I got in touch with the people that we have there at the place
HOMERO
I don´t want any surprises, ok?
FELIX
You won´t have any surprises Mr. Homero
HOMERO
What is happening? Hum?... What is going on? ¡Damn it!

FRANCISCA
What happened?... why the face? What happened? Look at yourself
VICENTE
Over there some guys, in town, came armed into the doctor´s office and they took the doctor just like that, without further do
FRANCISCA
Some guys, what guys?
VICENTE
The guerilla, the paramilitaries, the drug dealers, who knows Francia, you can´t even tell who is who with those people
FRANCISCA
¡How many times have I told you not to go to that town! Look at you, come over here and let’s have some lunch better
VICENTE
Look here, you just don´t want to understand Francia, I really don´t know what is it that needs to happen here so that you realize that we cannot continue being here, things are getting too dangerous, we cannot live here anymore, we are in the middle of a con
