An Unknown Enemy (2018–…): Season 1, Episode 8 - Operación Galeana - full transcript
Inspired by real events and references
historical events and public figures.
People, incidents,
locations and dialogue are fictional
and have been created
or adapted for dramatization purposes.
Any resemblance to historical events
and interpretations is coincidental.
Overall, it's designed to be
a tight but effective operation.
We've talked it over
with General García Barragán
to define the routes and times.
General, please.
That's right.
The army will only cut off this area.
And we will provide support
during the arrests until they are over.
Who will watch this area
before the signal?
There will be Olympia officers dressed
as civilians in the crowd, Mr. President.
Where exactly will you arrest them?
Most of them
around the Edificio Chihuahua building.
The Olympia Battalion agents
will move in through here.
Through these openings.
And there will be a contingent ready
in some of the apartments in the building,
sir.
Where will the army come from?
The army won't enter
the building, Mr. President.
At 6:15 p.m., when the flare is fired,
we'll go to the square from the back side
of the Chihuahua building.
The Olympia Battalion
will be doing the arrests.
It will be quick, Mr. President.
The detainees will be taken
to the military camp and processed there.
What do you think?
I think it's a pretty clear operation,
Mr. President.
Then...
Go ahead. We move forward as planned.
We must brief Secretary Martínez Manatou
about all this.
It's in our best interest
that he keeps talking with the students.
I'm going to Guadalajara now.
Keep me updated. Get to work.
AN UNKNOWN ENEMY
We'll simply keep our word.
We'll continue to release prisoners
in the coming days.
If all our unjustly arrested comrades
are released,
we could go through this process faster.
The releases are being prioritized.
But they require an administrative
process that must be followed.
We'll try to move as quickly as possible
before the Olympics.
But we need written confirmation
that the protests and demonstrations
undertaken by the National Strike Council
will stop during the Olympics.
Yes, of course.
As we agreed.
Sounds good.
We'll talk it over here.
Okay, bye, Javier.
Thanks.
Bye.
It's settled.
No marches until after the Olympics.
We have the meeting
in Tlatelolco, we could tell them there.
It's best only the speakers go.
What about the leaders?
There's no point, Lalo.
Negotiations are progressing,
it's best not to be there.
Fuck, we're already everywhere.
We're not everywhere.
We're getting what we asked for.
If word spreads
that none of the leaders will be there,
the meeting will get called off.
We can't just bail.
We're not bailing.
If the meeting were to be called off,
would the CNH have to announce it?
Yes, that's right.
Then we must be in Tlatelolco.
Besides, David, we've accomplished things.
The university is fucking occupied,
or doesn't that matter?
We can't abandon them.
Look, no matter how much we talk
with these assholes, we know them.
We can't miss the meeting, we must go.
What do I tell them?
Don't you want what we did to be useful?
To finish all this
knowing it was worth it?
At least show your face.
Right?
I made sincronizadas, do you want one?
I'll take it with me so I'm not late.
Don't just lift the right one.
- Alternate arms.
- I have enough trainers.
What's up? How's it going?
All good, Mr. Gonzalo.
Hitting it hard.
We're going to go to the polygon
to cheer you on.
When are you competing?
On the 18th.
Let's see how it goes.
You'll be golden, you'll see.
What? Off to train?
That's right.
Well, train hard. Come on.
- This is all of it.
- Hand me the 25-250.
We'll put this one at 200.
We'll leave this one here,
aiming at the entrance.
And with this one we'll pan over movement
in the whole square.
You checked you have enough film
in the cameras?
Yeah, done.
Sure? Don't run out.
No, Don Jaime told me ten
thousand-foot tins is enough.
Tell that bastard
that the Ministry of the Interior gave him
100,000 feet so he doesn't run out.
Tell him to tell Echeverría
he used two fucking tins,
maybe he'll get a prize.
- Ready?
- Ready.
Further to the right. Come on, Lalo.
Stop fucking around, okay?
I'm just saying
that you won't be able to move.
Unless you remove that fucking jacket.
Having to dress as civilians is bullshit.
More comfortable, right?
Cover it up.
What?
There. Happy?
Put the jacket under the seat,
it'll be okay.
Wearing that already?
Good morning. I work on the 14th.
There's no working here today.
Mrs. Ángeles.
- Good morning.
- Good morning.
I'm late and they won't let me in.
Do you know what's going on?
I don't know what happened.
They closed everything last night.
And decided they wouldn't open...
- Miguel, good morning.
- Good morning, Commander.
Comrades!
We're gathered here
in Tres Culturas Square
to share what we have achieved
thanks to the fight
of all of us who are part
of this civil movement.
NAT STRIKE COUNCIL
THE MEXICAN REVOLUTION - REVOLUTION READY!
It's in that spirit of negotiation
that the National Strike Council
promises to reduce demonstrations
and resort to dialogue.
That said,
the movement will continue.
It has awoken
civic awareness in our country.
This whole thing was once a market.
The biggest in Mesoamerica.
Then these fucking Spaniards came,
with their church...
Ochoa, Murillo, pay attention!
This isn't a field trip.
- Captain!
- Sir!
Two lines, next to each other!
Attention!
Form two lines! Look forward!
Rodríguez, pay attention! Come on!
All these achievements are thanks
to a united people with one voice.
That's the voice of our identity.
Of our courage and our integrity.
How much is left?
Not much.
Let's get closer.
Our comrades unjustly incarcerated
is heavily felt.
The authorities will have to hear
the people's unyielding voice.
No one and nothing...
The first steps have been taken
towards what will be...
Get ready.
The authorities will have to listen
to the voice of the people...
Captain, take those people
through the sides.
Sir. López, you go to the south corner,
Martínez, you go north. Quickly.
Come on, let's go.
The march to Casco de Santo Tomás
is suspended.
- Meanwhile...
- Wait, wait...
What is that?
They're heading towards the exit!
- They're coming here, toward the plaza.
- Easy, easy.
Everyone stay here, they're agitators.
Go ahead.
- What's the red flare mean?
- I don't know.
The General!
They're shooting from above!
Sir!
On the ground! On the ground!
Sons of bitches, they're shooting.
It's okay. Don't worry.
If they're shooting, we have to go...
Don't shoot, we're not armed!
Keep going.
Cover the whole square.
Keep shooting, keep shooting!
They're shooting from the building!
No! Don't leave, no!
Don't shoot, we're not armed!
Comrades! Put down your weapons!
Comrades, they're just blanks,
they're just blanks.
- What are you doing?
- Let's go up. Let's go. Let's go.
Down on the ground,
on the ground! On the ground!
Your time has come, fucker!
Hands behind your head!
Olympia Battalion!
Olympia Battalion, don't shoot!
Take cover! They're shooting at us
from the building! They're shooting!
Move aside! Out of the way!
Just shoot!
At which floor?
- Where? I don't see him!
- Look up!
These sons of bitches all have guns.
Ramos! Miranda!
Shots are coming from the sixth floor.
- Sweep that floor, arrest everyone.
- Yes, sir.
Heads up!
Head to the north exit!
Man, we dodge the church.
- No?
- Nothing.
Go! Get down, get down!
Run that way! Go north!
No, no! Head north! To the corner!
Ochoa!
Hey, asshole, help me out!
Move, help move these people!
Ochoa! Ochoa!
Ochoa! Ochoa!
Lower the gun, asshole!
Put it down!
Hands up.
There are my papers and ID.
We're supporting the army.
There's a lot of armed students.
Check it out.
Film it, film it, film it!
Hand me another reel.
Commander, should we continue?
Hey.
Hey.
You.
Hey.
Sir.
My son was at the square.
Please, take everyone's info.
Okay.
Excuse me, ma'am.
Ana.
I'll cover for you.
Show them to the recovery room.
Check the OR and the morgue.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
This way.
Come on.
It's bullshit.
Motherfucker!
This way.
Please, don't.
Speak.
Come on, dumbass.
Come here, asshole.
Keep going.
Move it, damn it, move it!
Go on!
Stay still!
Put your arms up!
Stay still, asshole!
Quickly!
Come on!
Come on, quickly!
Get a good look!
Come on, move it, asshole!
Make way!
Is it this one?
Is it him?
Move it, fucker, move it!
Hello.
Send her in, Silvia. Thanks.
Excuse me.
To what do I owe the surprise?
Take a seat. You want a drink?
Was it you?
Look, Elena...
Sit.
Right now, everyone's very confused.
Just tell me.
What happened yesterday
was things got out of control
because protesters...
Don't insult me with that bullshit
they're spreading, Fernando.
I know you very well.
You can't lie to me.
Were you a part of it or not?
If you know me so well,
why did you come here to ask?
I needed to hear it from you.
What for?
I don't know.
You're right, Elena.
You know who I am.
You know what I do.
You've always known.
So don't come here now
to point fingers, to freak out.
To play the victim.
I was this way when you met me.
And you slept with me.
You fell in love with me.
Don't you dare judge me,
you and I are exactly the same.
You're right.
We're the same.
Here's the statement
that the Senate will soon issue.
Very well.
And this one is a draft
of the official presidential statement.
The press meeting is at noon.
We have to make clear that the problem
has been resolved at its source.
We have to repeat that the government
guarantees peace during the Olympics.
Off the record we're saying
there was a military response
to the threat of an attack
on the Foreign Relations tower.
And to contain a shootout
among student groups.
Has General Barragán been briefed?
I think communication
with the general should come from you.
That's the line you're pursuing?
Well, for this first cut,
we only have to point out
that the first shots came from students.
We're also going to
have to mention the snipers.
There's no need to specify
who they worked for.
It works in our favor
that they shot the army.
It helps quell any rumors
that the government caused this.
- Okay.
- Very well.
So, the only thing missing
is the number of dead and injured.
Is there an official estimate?
It's still uncertain.
It's a preliminary report.
All numbers are tentative.
No more than 30, right, Luis?
Thirty?
Very well.
With this, gentlemen, I'm done.
What's been the CNH's reaction?
There may be isolated protests,
but the CNH itself is no more.
Don't forget to mention in your report
that the Olympics
will take place with no issues.
Brundage already contacted us.
Don't worry, Mr. President.
- Thank you.
- Sir.
- Will the CNH react?
- No.
We'll maintain military
and police presence for a few days,
and we'll reduce it gradually.
We're already coordinating
with Corona del Rosal and the DA.
Until when?
A couple more days.
Until things settle down.
By the 12th there won't be a trace.
Be extra cautious with Corona del Rosal.
Keep an eye on him.
He's very confused with all this
and he won't know how to react.
Don't worry.
I'll handle him.
I must've been
15 or 16 years old
the first time I wanted to be president.
And back then, when I had to,
I also fought to get here.
But...
I never forgot what was important,
I never stopped doing my job.
I never turned my back on my people.
Because without that minimum loyalty...
there would be no project, no direction.
It's not easy being president, Luis.
All those decisions, all that effort
to push the country forward...
When things really get hard,
you realize you're alone.
That's why it's important to know
how to acknowledge loyalty.
And to reward it.
You're not alone.
We could've ended this much sooner.
Not escalate it.
But there it was.
Everyone going after their own interests.
With no loyalty.
Without understanding how serious it was.
Corona del Rosal's plan to arrest
a few people in Tlatelolco,
what'd it get us?
A week, a month of peace.
- And then it was back to the same.
- No doubt.
We couldn't risk it. We had to.
Would we have kept Martínez Manatou
chatting with those
holding this country hostage?
The problem was he
underestimated who he was dealing with.
It only created animosity.
He mistook the message
we have to send as a government.
But...
Anyway...
What's important is that yesterday
that message was sent.
Things will calm down, Mr. President.
I'll take care of it.
You take care of opening those Olympics.
Yeah. He's here.
I'll put him on the phone.
Yeah. Yeah, I'll put him on the phone.
Okay. Look, honey.
Say, "Hi, Grandmom!"
Hi, Grandmom. There's snow!
Very good, that's it!
Tell her, "My dad studies a lot."
Dad studies a lot. A lot.
Very well, honey.
Yeah.
I want a lollipop.
Yeah, Enrique just came.
I'll put him on.
Congrats to your husband. Bye.
Hello.
Hi, Mom.
- Good. It's snowing.
- Hey, my lollipop!
Where is it?
I know, Mom.
Put him on, Mom.
- Car!
- Car.
Hi, Dad.
All good.
Well, congratulations.
You know we would've liked to be with you.
Yeah.
Well, I'll hang up,
the call must be expensive.
Bye, Dad.
And congrats, bye.
I know you would've liked them to be here.
But if you want,
we can spend Christmas with them.
Or are you not getting vacations?
I can leave when I want.
I'll tell Silvia to buy the tickets.
But the cold is terrible in Boston.
Honey, just buy a coat.
You nervous?
No.
It's Luis who's being honored, not me.
For now.
I'm very proud of you.
My fellow citizens.
I come to the Presidency of the Republic
without resentment...
- Let's go.
- ...illegitimate ambitions,
or the desire to satisfy
any personal or group interests.
I believe in the Mexican Revolution
and I've learned to serve the people.
I believe that a leader
is meant to, more than anyone,
fulfill his job with integrity
without ever staining his position
through the abuse of power
or compromising his principles.
It must be the janitor.
- He's coming to check the heater.
- Let's resume
the relentless work
of previous generations.
Let's move forward to find the future
we wish for Mexico.
No, no.
Let's rekindle our national alliance.
Let's always push forward
without stops or detours
in the tireless conquest of progress.

Don't worry, Mr. President.
- Thank you.
- Sir.
- Will the CNH react?
- No.
We'll maintain military
and police presence for a few days,
and we'll reduce it gradually.
We're already coordinating
with Corona del Rosal and the DA.
Until when?
A couple more days.
Until things settle down.
By the 12th there won't be a trace.
Be extra cautious with Corona del Rosal.
Keep an eye on him.
He's very confused with all this
and he won't know how to react.
Don't worry.
I'll handle him.
I must've been
15 or 16 years old
the first time I wanted to be president.
And back then, when I had to,
I also fought to get here.
But...
I never forgot what was important,
I never stopped doing my job.
I never turned my back on my people.
Because without that minimum loyalty...
there would be no project, no direction.
It's not easy being president, Luis.
All those decisions, all that effort
to push the country forward...
When things really get hard,
you realize you're alone.
That's why it's important to know
how to acknowledge loyalty.
And to reward it.
You're not alone.
We could've ended this much sooner.
Not escalate it.
But there it was.
Everyone going after their own interests.
With no loyalty.
Without understanding how serious it was.
Corona del Rosal's plan to arrest
a few people in Tlatelolco,
what'd it get us?
A week, a month of peace.
- And then it was back to the same.
- No doubt.
We couldn't risk it. We had to.
Would we have kept Martínez Manatou
chatting with those
holding this country hostage?
The problem was he
underestimated who he was dealing with.
It only created animosity.
He mistook the message
we have to send as a government.
But...
Anyway...
What's important is that yesterday
that message was sent.
Things will calm down, Mr. President.
I'll take care of it.
You take care of opening those Olympics.
Yeah. He's here.
I'll put him on the phone.
Yeah. Yeah, I'll put him on the phone.
Okay. Look, honey.
Say, "Hi, Grandmom!"
Hi, Grandmom. There's snow!
Very good, that's it!
Tell her, "My dad studies a lot."
Dad studies a lot. A lot.
Very well, honey.
Yeah.
I want a lollipop.
Yeah, Enrique just came.
I'll put him on.
Congrats to your husband. Bye.
Hello.
Hi, Mom.
- Good. It's snowing.
- Hey, my lollipop!
Where is it?
I know, Mom.
Put him on, Mom.
- Car!
- Car.
Hi, Dad.
All good.
Well, congratulations.
You know we would've liked to be with you.
Yeah.
Well, I'll hang up,
the call must be expensive.
Bye, Dad.
And congrats, bye.
I know you would've liked them to be here.
But if you want,
we can spend Christmas with them.
Or are you not getting vacations?
I can leave when I want.
I'll tell Silvia to buy the tickets.
But the cold is terrible in Boston.
Honey, just buy a coat.
You nervous?
No.
It's Luis who's being honored, not me.
For now.
I'm very proud of you.
My fellow citizens.
I come to the Presidency of the Republic
without resentment...
- Let's go.
- ...illegitimate ambitions,
or the desire to satisfy
any personal or group interests.
I believe in the Mexican Revolution
and I've learned to serve the people.
I believe that a leader
is meant to, more than anyone,
fulfill his job with integrity
without ever staining his position
through the abuse of power
or compromising his principles.
It must be the janitor.
- He's coming to check the heater.
- Let's resume
the relentless work
of previous generations.
Let's move forward to find the future
we wish for Mexico.
No, no.
Let's rekindle our national alliance.
Let's always push forward
without stops or detours
in the tireless conquest of progress.
Where's the Commander?
