have him give me a call.

I will.

We have located

your jack Begosian.

There is $1 million

for you

If you could dissuade

Francisco Francis

And jack Begosian

from leaving Ecuador.

Oh, Mr. Calder,

I believe they're worth

a million each.

I think you're right.

This is jack

Begosian. You're on the air.

I was hoping we

could talk about eternity, jack.

In what sense?

Do you think that there's

some aspect of ourselves

That lives on,

beyond this life?

Yes, in the example we leave.

What do you mean by that?

In the example

you leave behind,

Good or bad,

that's what's remembered.

How do you want

to be remembered, jack?

Well, I've done

some things that

I'm not proud of...

And, uh,

will never be forgotten.

That are...

Are impossible

to forgive.

But I'm trying to do

my best to make amends

And catch up...

And do my part.

Thanks for the call.

You all right?

Hold up.

Put your gun down.

Put your gun down!

Hey!

You'll get your money

by next Friday, Quako.

I must tell you, if this

is forced to referendum,

We cannot deliver

on our agreement.

If this is not settled

next Friday,

- It may well go to referendum.

- Rest assured

- We'll be closed next week.

- My associates and I have always felt

Clearbec was the most qualified

company with which to work.

- Good. - But we've been hearing

some very unfavorable rumors

Regarding Clearbec

in Ecuador.

Oh, it's nothing

to worry about.

There are many companies

We can do this deal

with, Bruce.

- Rest assured we'll be closed.

- Good.

We'll be awaiting

your payment.

Alberto shore

de Canada.

What is your real name?

Jack.

Jack Begosian.

What brings you

to these mountains,

Jack Begosian?

I came looking for the

survivors of the attack at Tayca.

Why? To what end?

The people I work for,

They want

the world to know

The wrong

that was done here,

And the people

who did it charged.

That's never gonna happen.

Clearbec pays millions

and millions of dollars

To the politicians here.

They can be stopped.

Okay.

Well, I admire

your spirit.

Were you at Tayca?

Yes, I was.

There was

a massacre there.

I'm aware.

What brought you there?

My father

lived in Tayca.

We were visiting him

when the typhus broke.

I went

to the offices of Inagua

To get some answers.

But I got none.

So I broke in that night

and I got many answers.

...Terrorist.

They say that

I poisoned the water.

They say that

I attacked the army.

Neither is true.

It's a lie.

I believe you.

Let me help you,

Francisco.

Thank you.

So how do you know

my name, jack?

You were the founder

And the leader

of la vida campesina.

I didn't lead them well.

The movement almost died

underneath me.

I learned

that nothing grows

Out of the barrel

of a gun

But violence.

And that Mao was wrong

and Gandhi was right.

You said you found answers

When you broke into

the offices of Inagua.

Clearbec's filtration system

is what caused the typhus.

You have proof?

I have their records.

I downloaded them.

- I have them over here.

- Then come with me,

Be a witness

against Clearbec.

- Tell your story.

- Francisco.

Come with me.

Francisco.

Okay.

Okay?

My wife...

she doesn't trust you.

I know.

She thinks that our

family won't be safe.

Is your family safe here?

How long can

they live like this?

How long

can anyone live?

Until we die.

Come with me.

We will stop Clearbec

from doing

What they did here

in other countries.

How do you know

they'll listen to us?

You have to trust me.

Francisco.

You must trust me.

You must

trust me!

I put my trust in you.

Thank you.

We need to move now.

Get your family out!

- Momma!

- Mia! Mia! Vamos!

Vamos, Mia.

Vamanos, vamanos!

Go go!

Get your family out!

come on, come on.

Come on, move it.

Come on, come on, come.

Come on. Come on.

Hey!

mama!

Come on, let's go.

Let's move.

- I can't. I gotta go back!

- What?!

He must not

go back up there.

Please please,

take care of my family.

If something happens to you,

the truth will not get out.

She has the truth.

Keep moving downhill.

Mama.

It's okay, it's okay.

Shh shh.

Shh.

Go. Go go go.

Let's go.

- You ready? Let's go. Come on.

- Yeah.

( People yelling in Spanish

Shoot to kill. Got it?

Yes.

- Wait for my first shot.

Ah!

Okay, get 'em out of here!

Get 'em out of here!

Vaya con dios!

Francisco!

Your family, let's go!

Let's move!

Francisco, we gotta move!

Vamos! Vamos!

It's all clear up there.

Okay?

Rest up a little.

We'll hide out

in a bit.

Francisco,

may I sit for a moment?

Of course.

There's something

you need to know.

What?

I worked for the CIA.

In south America.

I see.

I'm the man responsible

For sending you to prison.

Well, then...

I'm indebted to you.

I don't understand.

When I went to prison,

It changed...

The way I thought.

I wrote this book,

"presence is born."

I published it

under a pseudonym.

You wrote

"presence is born"?

Yes.

That book was

very successful.

It was a best-Seller.

Yes, I...

I gave all the rights

Of that book

to la vida campesina.

- You regret that?

- No.

La vida campesina is

It's a movement

Of peasants and farmers

who are fighting,

Unlike me, peacefully,

For the integrity

of their land and their water

And for the needs of

All their children,

And the children to come.

Do you have children?

I have a boy.

His name is Jason.

"You will be my son

forever and ever."

I wrote that

when my son was born:

si.

Nothing will

ever change that.

Nothing.

I'm sorry, my friend.

It was a gift.

It was a gift to me.

We need to move on.

I have a vehicle waiting for us up here.

Give me your hand. Come on.

Francisco.

Francisco.

Francisco! Francisco!

Francisco!

Francisco!

Francisco! Francisco!

Francisco! Francisco!

Francisco, let's go!

We have to get out of here!

Francisco! Francisco!

Francisco! Francisco!

Francisco!

Francisco!

The people

down here regard you a hero.

They call you

Francisco Francis.

I was born

in san Francisco.

You received your Ph.D.

In environmental studies,

Came down here with

Greenpeace to south America,

And now you're serving

11 years

in a very tough prison.

- Yes.

- How did you become involved

In the south American water wars that

resulted in you becoming incarcerated?

How could I not

get involved?

It became illegal for farmers

to collect rainwater

Because Clearbec owned all the

water rights in the whole country.

That's like saying,

"I own god."

Do you have any regrets

About what you did

and being here today?

I regret the violence.

I regret...

Not having enough...

Knowledge...

To make the...

Proper choices

that would have...

Helped the people.

I regret that.

Hello?

Hello, can you hear me?

- Hello?

- Mom, it's for you.

Thank you, sweetie.

Thank you.

hello?

Yes, this is jack.

I've found

Francisco Francis.

Oh!

Yes.

Is... is he...

He's alive.

Listen very carefully:

I need you to call

the number I gave you.

Tell them there are
