:27:01
This is a game.
:27:03
lt's a game youplay,
whether you like it or not.

:27:07
For you, it's emotional. For thepeople
holding Peter, it's a business.

:27:11
The sooner you get comfortable
and objective about that...

:27:14
...the easier this willbe.
:27:17
People take hostages all over the world.
Sometimes, it's purely terror...

:27:21
...other times it's political,
propaganda purposes.

:27:24
Down here, it's simply about money.
:27:27
So...
:27:29
...where is Peter? Where is he now?
:27:31
Probably in the mountains.
He's probably been taken by the ELT.

:27:35
Look...
:27:37
...l just got off a plane.
:27:39
Can we back up a little bit here, please?
:27:43
This ELT...
:27:45
...this group, who the hell are they?
:27:48
And how can you be so sure
they're the ones who have my brother?

:27:55
This is a land reform movement.
These people are revolutionaries.

:27:59
lnitially, there was a political agenda.
:28:02
However, what you must understand is...
:28:04
...today's version ofthe EL T...
:28:06
...is a completely different animal.
Twenty years ago...

:28:08
...they were a struggling Marxist
revolutionary group in the mountains.

:28:12
The end ofthe Cold War
changed everything.

:28:14
The money from Moscow dried up...
:28:16
...and the ELThad to finda new way
to support itself.

:28:19
So they got into kidnapping,
which has made them millions.

:28:22
Then they realized they were sitting on
an even bigger goldmine.

:28:26
Behind Colombia, Tecala is the world's
largest supplier ofcocaine.

:28:30
The ELThad the weapons andan unlimited
supply ofpoor, illiterate soldiers.

:28:34
They came in hardand they came in fast,
and they took over the drug trade.

:28:39
Whatever political agenda
they started with...

:28:41
...has been completely perverted.
:28:44
Did you know that when you moved here?
:28:49
Listen. Can we get practical here,
just for a second?

:28:52
Can you just explain how this works,
step by step?

:28:55
We wait for contact,
they make a demand, we start negotiating.

:28:59
Negotiate? What's to negotiate?
