No tenías que haber llegado tan lejos

I think it says "You didn't have to go that far" but he used it idiomatically the way we would, if you were gonna kill somebody.......woah you don't have to get that far

Is that right and you can use it that way in Spanish too?

You didn't have to have come that far...

A little formal for street talk! But nothing wrong with it.

come or go? or is that regional for the English version - we would always way, woah you didn't have to 'go' that far - Kiwi-Girl, Aug 15, 2011
You're right, in English we would say gone, not come. But the Spanish verb is to arrive so I start thinking that way. - Jeremias, Aug 15, 2011
