Original subtitles

This motion picture is inspired by true events.

Certain characters, names and events have been dramatized.

I have to leave a house in the middle of the night because of a man before.

But this is the first time I've had to leave a country.

7221, you're cleared to enter.

Okay folks, we are now entering United States airspace.

You're safe now.

UNKNOWN LOCATION 1993

I've made this trip before.

There were always dozens of white roses waiting for me in every suite.

But the men waiting at the door did not wear uniforms.

They wore Armani.

So, Virginia...

For the next few days, you will meet with officials from the Justice Department

and they will inform you of the procedure to follow from now on.

Can someone get me an aspirin please?

My head is going to explode.

Maam, for your own safety, you do not leave this room or communicate with anyone.

I have two of my best standing outside.

Do you understand?

Can you do bring me an aspirin please?

Virginia, American hotels do not give out aspirin anymore.

It's considered a drug in this country.

Pablo would have laughed at that too.

Then, he would have had all of them killed.

NAPLES RANCH, COLOMBIA 1981

Come on, guys!

Damn horse

Jesus, poor animal.

We have to finish him patron.

Do it, Pelao.

Fantastic.

Have you seen the guest list?

"Hmmm, It's full of beautiful women."

Colombia is full of beautiful women mi amor.

It's a party. Actresses, beauty queens...

and soccer players, union delegates.

But you are much more beautiful look. Than the union delegates?

See who's coming.

I don't like it, Pablo. Business and family separate.

We already talked about it. I know, I know, I know.

With the party everything is a little bit of a mess. I'll take care of it.

I have the man you asked for. I'll talk to him.

And you take him away. I don't want him around.

Juan Pablo.

Juan Pablo, if you can find this coin, you can keep it, go for it.

We are here to raise the mood.

One two three. Do you hear me?

Patron. I have a job for you in Leticia.

There's a file there from some years ago that

connects me to the murder of two dozen agents.

You have to make them disappear OK? Everything and the file

Clean up everything. Yes Sir You have contacts there, right?

Of course patron. My cousin's wife works at the courthouse.

She can get me in there's no problem. Dad?

OK, I don't care if you have to take out somebody.

Or what you have to do. You can burn the building down if you want.

But get rid of that file, understood?

You get 30,000 for expenses: For traveling, for ammunition, for room, for everything.

If you ran out, ask Salvador for more money if needed. Dad?

He'll take care of it. Get started now. Yes Boss.

Did you find the coin? It's only five pesos.

Only five pesos? Juan Pablo, do you know how

hard your daddy has to work to make some money?

Give it to me back "Only five pesos."

Is that the hacienda down there?

We have been flying away for a while, my love.

Connect with the boss.

We are getting kidnapped. It's okay, Virgie. Calm down.

It's not OK. Do we know how much all of us here are worth?

We've all heard about our host, but none of us had ever met him.

His name is at the top of the list of the noveau rich.

A group of young men that have made huge fortunes in very little time.

Welcome.

Please don't mind the weapons. They're for the animals.

We have a little zoo here. Do you like to see it?

You scared us to death.

Tell our host this is not the way to welcome guests.

As soon as I see him.

There they are.

Oh my God, they are beautiful.

They are very happy here. They like Colombia.

That's because they don't read the papers.

This house is gigantic.

I don't see the servants anywhere.

There you have then

This new elite has its own social structure.

Down in the corridors, the soldiers:

Young, uneducated men from the slums.

Warriors in their organization.

They're nothing like the humble servants working on the ranches

of the traditionally rich people in my country.

They're confident, they handle security and operations and...

How are you, Miss Virginia? Good evening.

Have good taste in women.

Virginia, I never miss your show. You look so Beautiful.

Thank you, ma'am. You look amazing.

Above them, the cream.

Artists, businessmen, soccer players.

Journalists, Models.

Always a perfect distance away from our host.

Cover your ears, Victor.

There are so many handsome guys here.

You look wonderful in that dress. Thank you.

Anyone who's anyone is here.

Excuse me, where does he make all this money?

That's the question a reporter has to ask.

Bravo! Bravo!

Senorita Vallejo, it's an honor to have you with us tonight.

An admirer wants to dedicate this song to you.

See what you have to say!

Virginia, Virginia.

Ay Maria, where have you been hiding?

Pablo keeps asking for you. He's drivng us crazy, so come on.

Victor, wait here. Don't fall in love with anyone.

And up the hill, the kings of the white mountain.

We still don't know their names, but soon,

there won't be a single Colombian who doesn't.

She was easy to find. I just went where all the men were looking.

Pablo? Pablo Escobar? I'll leave you alone.

Your complaints were passed on to me by your You lied to me.

O Maria, of course I lied to you. I did not want you to leave.

You're looking prettier in person. Then I have to fire my makeup girl.

There's a lot of talk about you over there. Speculations about your past.

No, no, no, don't listen to them.

I only listen when they speculate about my future.

I already know my past.

And what's the occasion? This is the founding of a society.

What kind of society? Philanthropic

We are building houses for the poor. Nobody over

there mentioned to you my relations to the slums?

We want to build 2,000 homes for the people on the garbage dump.

I got a good prize on a lot. And where does the money come from?

What is this? Is this an interview? I'm a journalist.

Then, come and see.

Come and see and I'll show you. It's good for the country to know.

Good for the country, or good for you?

Am I not part of the country?

We weren't aware at that time, but that night, we were celebrating

the founding of the Medellin cartel

and the crowning of Pablo as its' king.

Things were about to change forever.

In Colombia and in my life.

MORAVIA NEIGHBORHOOD MEDELLIN

Breathe through your mouth, so you can get used to the stench

And watch where you stand. People dump bodies out here sometimes. You're kidding.

Don Pablo! Don Pablo!

Pablito. How's your mom? Is she recovering?

Paulito! Don Pablo is here. Come here.

Is everybody here named Pablo? Everybody. They named if after him

Listew, we are now finishing the first 600, but we want to build 2,000. 2000

Oh my God.

Good day, Senor Escobar. Please tell our viewers the motivation and goal

behind this wonderful initiative, "Medellin without slum".

Well, it is painful for us to see so many children starving

and completely abandoned by the government.

And building these houses for them helps us to

create a country that we always dream about.

I love Colombia and now that we have a chance

to give back to this beautiful country.

That gave us so much. That is exactly what we're doing.

That day, I decide that I don't care how Pablo makes his money.

Only how he uses it.

Come in please.

Virginia, how beautiful you are.

Thanks sweetie. Thanks.

Miss Virginia. A pleasure.

Do you know that people?

I like the way you laugh. You laugh like that in your show.

You are so relaxed on TV. How do you do that?

Do you think I can ever do that? There are tricks.

Are you after my job? No I'm not.

Are you married?

Not by choice. What does he do?

He's a plastic surgeon. We are separated, but he does not want to sign the divorce.

Ah, he does not want you to get married again?

No, he does not want to have marry one of his teenage girlfriends.

Well, that can be fixed

Hmm, you talk to him.

I mean, I don't like hanging around with married women. I dont.

So next time we're going out, you're not going to be his wife.

No? No.

Will I be his widow? Ay Maria, Virginia, what do you take me for?

Now we take that damn! Take him out!

Outside!

Everyone ready? Virginia!

Your lawyer called. Your ex signed the papers.

We are all in three, two...

To celebrate me being free again

Pablo takes me to an island paradise only he knows about.

If you're going to cry over a man, better on a private jet than on a bus.

Where are you going? They are waiting.

Who?

Do I look OK? You look perfect.

How is it going patron? Maam

Here's my caveat, if you tell me your secrets and I'll tell you mine, okay?

Our trip is an excuse to attend a congress of drug traffickers.

Gentlemen, Virginia Vallejo.

Virginia, how are you? When did you arrive? -Today.

Pablo introduces me to his associates in the cartel.

He shows me off to them like a trophy.

And I know they are also there to evaluate me.

Between them, they form a new social class: the Narco Millionaires.

And I'm the only journalist with exclusive access to their first summit.

Thank you. I'm going to get a drink.

Stay close, Virginia. These men can't be trusted. Ok?

The most illegal thing I've ever done before that day was to double-park.

But the truth is, never in my life had I felt safer.

Our lower priorities label where Colombia doesn't change.

That night they split the United States of America among them.

Florida for the Medellin cartel.

New York for the Cali cartel.

The independents and other shipments to Pablo's.

They know that nobody would ever dare to steal even one gram from him.

Seeing him in his natural habitat is, addictive.

Thanks to those men, it is going to snow cocaine in the US.

FLORIDA, USA 1982

Honey, did you see that?

Hey guys, are you nuts? What the fuck are you doing?

Back to the car, quickly! Stay away!

Stuck in a jam on Highway 75 heading Southbound. Eric Temple

Holy shit!

What are you doing? Are you fucking nuts?

I almost killed you!

They call them the saints, because they make

the miracle of multiplication up there.

Do the math.

One kilo is worth 7,000 dollars here in Colombia.

In the United States, they cut it, add lactose and it becomes three kilos

which are worth a 150,000 there. Is that a miracle or not?

Oh my God! Jim, stop!

Oh shit!

From the White House: President and Mrs. Ronald Reagan.

A message on drugs.

Despite our best efforts, illegal cocaine is

coming in to our country at alarming levels

It's especially damaging to the young people, on whom our future depends.

So tonight, from our family to yours.

From our home to yours.

Thank you for joining us.

America has accomplished so much in these last few years...

Welcome, Agent Shepard. President's glad to have you on board.

This is Mr. Velarde, representing the Colombian government.

The president is worried about the latest report.

Cocaine is no longer the drug of the jetset, it's reaching the middle class.

You know what that means. It's coming in without control.

80% of it is coming from Colombia.

We are working to have an old bilateral treaty re-activated.

The Extradition Treaty. We'll catch the narcos and

turn them over to you so you can try them here.

They don't fear the judges in Colombia. Either bribe them or kill them.

But they do fear your justice. Is there a legal basis for this?

The coke is produced in my country, but is consumed here.

The crime is completed in the United States.

I brought a draft.

The President knows your record. He wants you to monitor the whole process.

The president will be off shortly. We are

hoping to implement this in the next day or so.

Don't take away the dream from every child's

heart and replace it with a nightmare.

And it's time we in America stand up and replace those dreams.

What are we, children? Don't we have judges here?

No mother sends her children to the neighbors to be punished. No.

What do the lawyers have to say? Is it constitutional? Can it be appealed?

Yeah, it can be appealed. We have to knock it down.

That treaty put us in danger. To everyone here, everyone of you, every one of us. See

We have to fight it from the institution from inside.

From Congress? It's the only way. From many of them. Both sides.

Conservatives and liberals, they all like the good stuff.

Look at me, Pablo. This politics is bad for business.

And whatever they look for in your house, they find in everyone else's.

Listen to us, please. They'll go after you.

Politics is a bitch.

No, my brother, it's the other way around.

If you reach the congress they respect you.

Why? Because you're one of them.

You know how much it costs to run for a state council in Colombia?

10 million pesos. 10 million pesos.

And for senator I think it is between 100 and 120 million pesos.

1500 million pesos, more or less, for president of the republic.

Tell me who can spend that kind of money?

The son of a farmer? A worker?

Oh no. Politics comes down to money here.

Democracy comes down to money here so.

We have plenty, of money.

You, Garza, what's so funny?

If you're listening to yourself, Pablito.

You're already talking like a politician.

Sir, we have an appointment with your candidate.

Are they armed? Of course they are, they are my bodyguards.

I'm sorry sir but if they're armed, they can not come in. Listen to me.

They have a donation to the campaign.

If they do not come in, the donation can't either.

So go ask your candidate if that's what he wants.

Ask him

A moment.

The cartel bets on both horses.

Why put money on only one candidate when you can put money on both?

That way, no matter who wins, they win.

The narcos planes carry candidates during the day...

and fly to the United States at night.

And what do they get in exchange?

You defend the competency of the Supreme Court towards the constituionality of the

It will be good for all of us, Mr. Candidate.

This gentlemen want to donate 25 million pesos to our campaign here in Antioquia.

People call the contributions made by the drug lords "hot money".

Why?

Its OK. You can leave it on the floor. Will find someone to pick it up later.

Because it burns.

How far are you going to take this Pablo?

We're doing fine. Don't we have enough?

My love, in Congress I can do things I can help people...

Help your family first.

You have money, Pablo. You have us. What more do you want?

I want respect.

Respect? Yes, I want respect.

I want my son to be proud of me.

Is that so hard to understand? First he have

to see you, Pablo, but you're never home.

Juan Pablo, my boy, go to the living room. There is nothing on TV?

God, who bought him that car?

Victoria, my love, don't you want to be the first lady?

I'd settle for being the only lady, Pablo.

Ay maria, no, no again. She's helping me with my political campaign.

I want respect to Pablo like you. I respect you.

No, senor the difference is yours is not enough for me.

I respect you. No you don't.

I'll prove it. What do you want me to do? What? I'll do it. What?

That bitch from TV, end it with her

I promise right now it is over, now.

Now.

Right now, honey.

Come here.

I promise. I promise

I promise. It is over.

So yes, see give me one of those laughs. Yes.

The style disappeared with the jeans. What a shame.

We want a country like a mother

generous and fertile who shares her wealth equally with her children,

but who always looks out for the weakest.

We want a country like a mother

who defends her children from foreign aggression without hesitation

Hard but understanding.

Long live the mothers of Colombia and the motherland.

They will cry tears of blood the day their first son is handed out.

Thanks. Thanks.

Let's stay in Antioquia to see how election day has gone.

At this time, most of the votes have been counted.

For Alternative Popular, Movimiento de Renevación Liberal

Pablo Escobar Gaviria has been elected repreentative of Medellin.

For Colombia...

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES BOGOTA, JULY 20, 1982

Senator Escobar is denied entry the first day he attends congress.

Why? Because he smuggles 40 tons of cocaine a year into the United States?

No.

I'm sorry sir, but a tie is required to enter the chamber.

Take mine! Take mine, Pablo!

That's my country for you.

What are you doing looking through my bag?

That's not where you'll find a picture of my lover.

What's that? Surprise, surprise for you.

Pablo, take that money out of my bag right now! Why?

You're not gonna put me in danger. I have nothing to do with your business, OK.

This is a gift to you, Virginia. This is for you to enjoy it.

This is a gift for me? Yes.

But, Pablo, that's a lot of money! I know, I know, but don't worry.

The American government doesn't care how much you

bring in. it only cares how much you take out

So you can declare it all when you get to customs.

But it's too much, I cannot accept it Look it doesn't even fit.

A surprise, doesn't fit. We have to take out

all the clothes, you can buy new ones there.

See, take them all out. take them all out.

But you have to spend all that money. You can bring anything back with you Virginia.

Oh my God. All my life waiting to hear those words.

You wonderful man!

NEW YORK, 7TH AVENUE 1983

Colombians don;t turn on their TVs to see me but what I'm wearing.

Pablo is aware of this and he takes care of all my needs.

This is called coca paste.

And the poorest drug addicts mix it with gasoline and call it "bazook".

This stuff will fry your brain. There is

nothing is worse than this, do you understand?

Now, when you cook it, you get this little white powder,

but it's the same thing. We work with this, okay?

But we do not take it here.

Have you heard of Nancy Reagan?

No? She's a very important lady.

She says that if anybody offers you this stuff, you just say no.

You're going to listen to that lady, to her and to your Daddy. You just say no.

Okay? Understood?

Good, my boy.

Hello, how may I help you? Hello. 88 please, thank you.

Miss Vallejo? Yes?

Do we know each other? Do you have any plans?

May I have a moment of your time?

Do you lack self-confidence, Agent Shepard?

Give me two hours? Sure.

I saw your interview with Mr. Escobar. Thousands of people saw it.

What can you tell me about him?

So dissappointing. You're not interested in me. You are interested in Pablo.

I'm a married man.

So you know how he makes his money?

What does your embassy over there tell you? Nothing good.

No, Mr Escobar is an elected government representative.

So I don't think the DEA has any legal

authority to interfere in Colombian politics.

The drugs produced in your country are entering mine and that worries us.

No. No.

Your government is only worried about the money

leaving the country not the drugs that come in.

They don't have this problem with the Italian mafia

because what they make stays here. Drug money is different. It flies away.

That's what worries you.

What did he say? Pablo?

When you told him that you're coming to meet me? What did he say?

He said to make sure the United States pays the bill.

You two are involved.

You have the nerve to ask me that?

Why don't you ask your friends at the CIA? I will.

You know what? I would have agreed to a drink...

even without the badge.

MEDELLIN INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT

Where is Pablo? He had to go to Bogota.

Congress is calling a special session.

They want to revoke his appointment.

They cannot do that.

Well. that bastard minister of justice has it out for us.

He requested a review.

Things are getting wild Virginia.

The whole country is watching us.

We are in the spotlight.

Congressman, this is a disgrace!

These men, who became inexplicably rich overnight,

have reached this sacred institution with their shady dealings.

Their presence in the house is an insult to every Colombian.

Congressman Escobar.

It certainly must have been quite a struggle for you to obtain your fortune...

and to go from having a few properties in Medellin

to accumulating more than two billion dollars in less than two years.

Mr. President, Fellow Congressmen.

Apparently, his honor the Minister of Justice

doesn't believe that a person of humble origin

can through hard work, reach a higher social position or a seat in this room.

Maybe you should question your own presence here Mr. Minister.

Because if you don't believe in the justice that you represent.

Then you want the justice system of another country for our citizens.

So you don't deserve your position. You should resign.

You have lied today by suggesting that my money is linked to drug trafficking.

That's why, I'm giving your honor 24 hours to present

solid evidence of your accussations against me

Actually you are the one who should explain

The origin of the money that financed your campaign.

Mr. President.

Mr. President.

I will bring, I will bring proof to this room, of the quantities

that you and some of your colleagues have received from certain people.

Yes, unlike you, solid proof.

When, where and how much.

Evidence. Thank you very much, Mr. President.

Resign! Resign!

Apparently...

Congressman Escobar has detailed information

about how drug trafficking operates.

Which continues to surprise for a humble and hardworking man like himself.

Pablo, resign. Leave, leave before they kick you out.

I want my son to see me there, Victoria.

You don't want your son to see what the whole country saw today, Pablo.

Today, today. Those men clapping in there today and

laughing in there today, they have a lot to hide.

The President publicly backed the Minister.

The President backs the minister because he has a lot to hide too.

So what are going to do accuse the President

as well in front of of the whole country?

Pablo, you're a drug trafficker.

Yes, and those bastards they stand up when I call them.

And they come to my parties and they grab every penny I gave them.

The damn pig! You promised me everything will be alright.

Everything is fine. I'm pregnant.

My Beloved...

My Beloved.

"I don't want our baby to suffer. It won't suffer."

Promise me it won't suffer.

Promise me, or I won't have it.

Yes? Hello? Who is this?

Motherfuckers! The damn fuckers!

I don't want to a single newspaper on the street. No no, not one.

I will pay 500 pesos per copy, do you understand me?

Spread the word in the slums. Take off

Motherfuckers. Calm down, Pablo.

Those fuckers.

El Espectador does a cover story about the sins of Pablo's youth

backing the minister's accusations.

Come on, hurry up!

His criminal record include his involvement

in the murder of two police officers in Leticia.

Goodbye, career in politics.

Don't you think you're killing me? Kill me then!

The villagers Pablo sent to erase his past didn't do his job.

He spent the money on women who will not mourn his death today.

Do you intend to kill me or not? Kill me then!

Shut up! Beat him, you coward!

Gay!

Our Father in heaven, let your name be sanctified!

Help him, damn fighters.

Since he is such an important minister, I have

three different operations prepared for him.

You want to know about them I'll let you know

and you let me know which one you like the most

But if you prefer none now... I'll do it anyway.

He's a minister, Pablo. You can't kill a minister.

No? Who says that? You?

It's time to start killing people so they learn to respect us.

Listen, this is how it goes. Every one of us put up ten million pesos for expenses

so that way we all are commited. Either we are

all innocent or we are all guilty. That easy

You're gonna create a company to kill a minister?

In Cali we do not want to mix blood with business. It complicates things.

Things are already complicated. Haven't you noticed up there in Cali?

With war you can't win halfway.

There are no half-winners and half-losers. You have to go all the way in.

I mean you people in Cali don't like blood then

you you better not come to my house to insult me.

Pablo, he didn't mean to insult you. Then I didn't mean to warn him.

Listen my friend.

Lara will not be in the country for a long.

They're sending him somewhere as ambassador. Then you can kill him.

I was insulted by a minister, not an ambassador.

Do you want to hear the plans?

Are they decided? Ok.

They think they are.

Here.

What are we celebrating?

That everything is going to change.

I want you to carry it with you all the time, all the time.

Oh, Pablo. Open it. Open it.

Open it.

Is... This is a joke?

This is a not a joke. Things are going to get very complicated, Virginia. Very.

I don't need a gun, Pablo. Not me.

Virginia, I need you to understand what will happen the day they come for you.

They will rip off your clothes that you are wearing then. What is...

Thierry Mugler. That one.

They'll put it around your ankles and they will hold you down on the ground

while many, many soldiers take turns to rape you.

And they will bring them just for you from the jungle, hungry for a woman.

And they will get on you one after another until they turn your back down into pieces

Then they will break bottles and they will stick those broken bottles in it

And they will stick blenders and hair dryers...

and they will turn them on full blast inside of you yes.

And when you think you are going to faint, they will wake you up with cold water,

so you are awake for the next group of soldiers.

Then they will let you bleed till you die from inside.

So this is why this is the best gift I can ever give you my love. Take it.

If there are three coming at you, take out the first one, the one whose closest.

I mean, if they are four more... then

Yes, you better kill yourself.

I want to go. I want to go

Don't cry. I want to go.

Okay, I'll bring you home.

MOTORCYCLE SICARIOS SABANETA RANCH

Sicarios.

The narcos give the boys in the slums

the education they don"t get from the government.

They don't mind dying if they can leave 20,000 to their mothers.

Because they know that's more than they will make in a lifetime.

To be a good sicario, you have to be more than just prepared to kill.

You have to be prepared to die.

The motorcycle!

Closer! Closer!

My God, Colombia is full of geniuses and intelligent people like you.

Juan, Carlos Andrés, thank you very much.

And now lets go to Cartegena de Indias

where they are celebrating one of the biggest events in Colombia.

No. We just received a news update saying...

Oh my God.

Saying that Minister of Justice Rodrigo Lara Bonita

has been assassinated only minutes ago in Bogota.

In an emergency release, the President Belisario Betancur has

called the minister's murder a crime against humanity...

Mom, what's wrong? And insure the county in a stage of siege.

FINAL HOURS

We'll be back with more information once as we

compile more facts about what happened. Thank you.

The government takes on the mafia.

President Betancur promises to activate the extradition agreement.

The corporation relocates.

Where?

Where they keep the money.

PANAMA 29 MAY 1984

The cartel proposes a negotiation with the government.

Which sends an ex-president to hear Pablo's proposal.

Which currently controls roughly about 80% of global traffic.

We offer the repatriation of our capital abroad to boost the national economy

and also pay our country's external debt presently estimated at $ 12 billion.

In exchange, we request amnesty

and the guarantee that under no circumstances, no circumstances

we will be extradited to another country

for any illicit activities that may have occur to date.

You know things are very hard over there after the minister.

Yes, we were sorry to hear about that sir.

Listen closely before we go on.

Ex-President Michelsen and myself are not here.

The president of the country has not authorized this meeting.

This isn't happening. Is that clear? A timely clarification.

Imagine the very same way that my clients are sitting at this table,

representing third parties, rather than their own.

The extradition part is non-negotiable.

We can't guarantee anything without the agreement of our North American partners.

Ah, the North American partners, their gringos. Who needs them?

This is a matter between Colombians.

Oh my God...

You have to remove the extradition treaty. Remove it.

Go on tell your president, the one you're not representing here.

Yes, what's the other option? War.

And we all know what war is about.

The one who has more cash wins it. And look at us.

We have more cash here.

Pablo couldn't keep his word.

His daughter is born outside Colombia.

He holds the people who drove him from the country responsible.

The editor of the newspaper that published his past gets killed.

Hello?

You don't carry the present I gave you Virginia. Where is it?

I should have guessed when I saw your boys downstairs.

No, no my boys are not downtairs.

Miss Virginia.

You have so many agencies following you that

it's impossible to park on your street.

I'm used to men following me.

Or you are seeing someone else.

Don't forget that I listen to your conversations.

You do? Then you've heard the threats?

Since you've started killing ministers, people keep calling me.

They turn on chainsaws. They play funeral marches for me.

What happened to the minister was entirely his fault.

And what is going to happen to this country now

is the government's fault, this is not my fault.

And now the gringos want to extradite me after

Lara's we have to stop that treaty no matter what.

And those of us who are in the position to be extradited, we are going send a message

to the government, and to the judges and to the journalists.

It's gonna be fine. It's gonna be fine

Pablo, you're losing your mind. Why?

You don't listen to anyone.

You think you can take on everyone just by yourself.

Your head is straight for suicide.

You're coming with me. You'll be my life poet if I remember.

The one who will tell the story.

To whom? There won't be anyone left to hear it.

Yes, but I can not let you in.

No, I'm sorry. I have received my orders.

No wait. Take that away. You got the wrong house.

Judge Carlos Alberto Alarcón? That's me.

This is for you. It's from Don Pablo Escobar Gaviria.

What is it? For God's sake, help me!

Pablo turn threating people into its own genre.

Help me! Oh my God!

No no no!

Only one thouseand million pesos! Only!

They're insulting us. Motherfuckers. No, no, no, no.

This is what we'll we do. Hand more guns in the slum. The more the better.

2000 guns, 3000 guns, I don't care.

Hail the boss!

For every dead cop, I will pay $ 2,000!

And for every sergeant I will pay $ 5,000

For a lieutenant I will pay 10,000 dollars.

For every cops, 20,000 dollars.

For every major $ 50,000.

You get paid very easily. You have to bring the badge of the man they killed.

We're going to kill you, you bitch!

We will cut your face. We'll wipe it off!

We will kill you and your whole family!

The law quickly sets it's exchange rate in the slums.

Ten executions for each dead police officer.

They see every teenage boy as a future sicario.

I'm not asking you. I'm ordering you.

I'm giving you 24 hours to do what I say

Or, I will kill your mother, I will kill your father, I will kill your grandmother.

Soon, all of those dead, whether killed by Pablo or his enemies

will haunt me as well.

Kill, soldier, kill!

Death for God forgives!

The Colombian government creates a special unit exclusively for my boyfriend.

SEARCH BLOC HEADQUARTERS MEDELLIN

There's 500 men here. All from Bogota.

Devoted only to capturing Pablo Escobar.

We can't take anyone from here.

Even bringing our own food so they won't poison us.

Why makes the DEA think we need you here?

Extradition treaty isn't working, is it?

So if you don't send them up to us, we come down and get them.

Nice.

Using three receivers on land we can precisely calculate the signal

in a 200-yard radius.

If one of the posts detects well enough information, it activates the protocol.

Hit the switch, you'll hear a sound cue which will

inform your officer the the recording is in progress.

Sir! Escobar! He's in Sector 2, La Victoria.

It's a mobile line Sir.

The DEA set up sophisticated tracking systems to pinpoint Pablo.

Escobar! He's coming lunch at El Dorado. It's a public phone.

Sector 7, La Estrella. It's on the other side of town.

Escobar! At the battle, sir. Escobar!

Is he everywhere?

They didn't take into account on the local people's astuteness.

I saw Pablo on the corner of Bolivar Avenue.

Listen carefully. Yesterday at 7th and Independencia.

Nothing lasts forever, Virginia.

You know we have new partners and they have requested changes.

And your replacement, she has the right people behind her.

Who she fucks is not the problem, it's who I fuck.

Don't turn this around, Virginia.

We don't care what you do in your personal life here.

They told you to fire me.

Nobody told me to do anything. It's an artistic decision.

Replacing me with that cheap whore is an artistic decision? Since when?

Say it. Just say it.

This is because of him. Say it.

Say it!

We don't care what that gentleman lover of yours does for a living.

No?

You might care from now on, you motherfucker. Garbage.

And you better watch out!

Cause I'm gonna tell Pablo to blow your fucking

building with you and your family inside!

Motherfucker!

And that's gonna be an artistic decision too!

What's wrong with men?

Nobody ever told you that if you want to see

a woman, you're supposed to call first?

Don't show me your badge. I accept.

That's good news then?

Great news. TV networks are like men.

Sometimes you have to leave them to be appreciated.

So what's your plan?

I have an offer from my network in Florida. I might take.

Start a new life.

But I would need a man.

Are you still married, Agent Shepard?

Until you've made love to a Colombian woman...

That changes everything.

Please don't put my life in danger, Virginia.

Pablo doesn't need an excuse to kill a DEA agent.

I'll take you with him when he goes down.

You know that, don't you?

Virginia, you were fired by the network.

And you don't have any offers. No one will hire you.

Not here. Not in Miami. Nowhere.

You're marked for life.

So you have to find something else to tell. Anything.

And you're not 20 anymore.

Your legs are not as pretty as they used to be, or your smile.

What do you propose? Help us.

In exchange for what? Protection.

Protection? There is no such thing.

Pablo will find me no matter where I go.

You think he doesn't scare me?

You think all the threats, and death and smell of burned flesh don't affect me?

Help us find him.

You know what?

The TV networks only want little girls now.

They don't value the experience of a woman.

Is that what Pablo values in you?

Esactly. And my loyalty.

The bill has been paid.

Wait here.

No no no no. Listen to me.

Tell me what does that gringo want? What all the gringos want Pablo: to catch you.

Motherfucker. Is he staying in Medellin? Are you following me?

No, I'm not following you, What if I'm following

you do you have something to hide Virginia?

Pablo, don't follow me and don't call me anymore, okay?

You're ruining my life!

You are ruining my life You know that I got fired because of you.

People keep avoiding me like the plague. Nobody will come near me.

Well that Gringo have no problem coming near

you. Stop talking about him and listen!

Stay away from me, I beg you! Stay away!

You're saying that because you know they are recording this.

And you want them to think it is over between

us! It is over between us! Hear it, it is over

If anyone's out there listening, please record this!

I have nothing to do with the psychopathic killer on the other side of the line!

I'll call you back. I'll call you back.

That bitch is really angry.

Do you like birds? See, they represent freedom.

Pablo's lovers: Teenage girls from poor neighborhoods

handed over by their families for a few thousand pesos.

It isn't easy sleeping with the most wanted man in Colombia and keeping it a secret.

Believe me, I know.

It just takes one of them to talk to have the search bloc find him

Helicopters! Helicopters!

Helicopters!

Oh my God!

Come on, Pelao! Hurry up!

The birds! Release the birds!

Listen, I need to reach Pablo. Our people in Miami are getting out of line.

The routes are falling apart and the Cali cartel is getting all territory.

We can't finance this war if the business stops working. Do you understand?

No, no, no, you son of a bitch. I don't want you to kill them.

They're only got there. I just want you to find

Pablo. Is that difficult to understand? Could you...

Monje's death meant the fall of the cartel's financial wing.

Garza's death meant the fall of the toughest wing.

Pablo loses his strong men.

From this point on, he can only run.

For years we have fought for peace, but the only response we've gotten

has been a viscious and systematic persecution

against our families and organizations.

That's why, I declare full out war on the government and the political establishment.

If they make me run, I'll make them run too.

See, terrorism is the atomic bomb of the poor.

We're not using lead anymore. No, no no, from now on we're usng dynamite.

And how do we know that you are really Pablo Escobar Gaviria

and not someone else pretending to be him.

That is very easy. I will prove it to you by killing you and your family tonight

and blowing up your radio station. What do you think? Would that be enough?

Hey?

You're a celebtrity in your country, Virginia.

What's so appealing about coming to Miami to host a TV show?

Well...

I don't really think I have anything else to prove in Colombia.

No?

But, I guess what appeals to me is the challenge.

The excitement of a new adventure.

Also, there are some very attractive men in this part of the world.

Tell us Virginia, what's the last show you hosted on Colombian TV?

MIAMI INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT

How you doing? FBI.

Mind if we take a look at your passport?

Thank you.

Do you carry any money?

My ex isn't using me as a mule, yet.

Okay.

Oh my God!

What happened? I'm sorry. They just closed Bogota airport.

Why? I'll call you back.

An Avianca plane exploded in mid-flight.

After the first bombs, the country asked the government to give Pablo hell.

Look at the little thing.

This one is also nice.

I like this too. They are beautiful.

Look at this dear? This...

Do you like it? Yes?

After a dozen bombs, the country begs the government to give Pablo what he wants.

MERRY CHRISTMAS

Hurry up!

In the car, boss. Hurry up!

Pablo! Pablo, come on! Pablo!

U.S. EMBASSY BOGOTA

Newell.

There's a Newell in my graduating class.

Do you think it could be him?

What is it? List of victims on the Avianca flight.

107 people on board. They just sent it.

Robin Newell and Catherine Gilmore.

35 and 32 years old. Married.

Sir? Sir, wait.

Sir! Ambassador.

There were two Americans on the Avianca flight. So listen:

Directive 12.333 authorizes military operations in foreign countries

to guarantee the security of American citizens. Thank you Sara.

Agent Shepard, I'm sure you know Mr. Velarde.

He is also the man in charge of negotiating the surrender of Pablo Escobar.

This is Mr. Castro. He is Mr. Escobar's legal representative.

He agreed to turn himself in to the authorities.

In exchange for what?

By revoking the extradition treaty, our

judges and magistrates have taught the world

a lesson in sovereignty, independence and patriotism.

After years of persecution...

LA CATEDRAL PRISON MEDELLIN MEDIA PRESENTATION

19 JUNE, 1991

Pablo has one last condition to his surrender.

He provides the prison.

It's very pretty, isn't it?

He cedes a property to the municipality through a frontman

so they can build it there.

Hey, everyone's here but the president.

He couldn't make it. Scheduling problems.

Without the threat of extradition hanging over him

Pablo needs a safe place to reorganize his business.

For peace in Colombia.

And the government provide him with one.

The routes through Conception and Norman Key are working again.

The Fany is at almost 100%.

We have 250 planes in service and 35 pipelines mobilized in Santamarca.

Are you talking to the number 2 at the Aviation Authority?

Talk to him, he's his brother. If he doesn't want to

play golf, we bring him here and I'll talk to him..

A request for everyone who's still outside...

Nobody moves around without me knowing it. Nobody. It's a deal.

And they have to pay the taxes that they owe me.

It's 20%. 20%? 20%

They will like that, Pablo? The cali people are asking for 5%.

Everyone will go to them and then say OK.

How do you know that? Have you talked to them?

What are you saying, Pablo? No, no, no, listen to me.

If you prefer those fits from Cali, go to them and try your luck.

I came up with the roads. I took out extradition

all by myself so you can keep working.

So make everybody knows that the one who doesn't

pay with cash, merchandise, or properties

will pay with his life. Do you hear what I say?

Did you hear me? Yes, sir.

What's next?

Soccer players from the professional league come to play with the traffickers.

For God's sake, my brother!

And the match isn't over until the boss wins.

Gentlemen! The social workers have arrived!

Go on, go on.

Sundays are saved for family.

My Beloved!

How are you?

Why don't you live with us home, Daddy?

Because I work here, Princess.

My princess.

This is my castle.

Do you see those towers there? Those are my towers.

I am a king. King has castles.

And that's why you are a princess, because you are my daughter.

But there are guards. Of course there are

They are here to protect me.

Mommy says you can't leave and she cries all the time.

What do you mean I can't leave?

Who says that? Mommy.

Really?

No, my dear. This is my castle. I can come and go as I please.

You want to see that?

You want to go out for an ice cream?

Where is the place that... The big park near the church.

That's the one you like.

Let's go. Let's go.

What do you had for lunch? Oh my God.

Don't wait for us. Manuela and I are going out for an ice cream.

Pablito still has his humor.

Hello Hello. Boss.

Who's in charge of this castle? Who's the boss here?

You, boss. See that's what I like to hear. Open the door.

Open the door!

Open it.

The king and his princess are going out for an ice cream. What flavor you want?

Strawberry. Strawberry! The princess has a carriage.

If you dare to stop us, the king will cut your heads off.

Open the door. Open the door.

Look, our carriage is waiting for us.

How nice. Give me the keys, give me the keys.

The king is asking for the keys of the

carriage. Give me the keys. Give me the keys.

Do not move an inch! Stop!

Pablo!

Pablo!

I forgot to tell you, my princess...

that I can bring the best ice cream strawbery

ice cream of the world there for you

Strawberry ice cream just made with ice from the

North Pole which is specially for my daughter,

my princess, especially, the best one in the world

For you Really?

Have you heard of the strawberry iceberg from North Pole? They're very famous.

Not only has the media banned me

My advertising contracts are also cancelled.

Which forces me to sell my home to pay my debts.

Be careful with that!

What you just moved with your foot is a very expensive piece of Indonesian art.

I'm not asking you to use your head. Using your hands will be enough.

I rent an apartment at El Nogal, where a former First Lady lives.

Hoping her bodyguards will keep an eye on me as well.

How are you boys?

Fine. Thanks.

And I get a break from the telephone threats.

All set ma'am.

Was it a new number?

But not for long.

Oh blessed! Hello.

Nice hotel.

How's our book going? What book?

Who would want to read a book about you? Ay, my admirers.

Your admirers can't read. They are too young.

That's true. That's one of their virtues.

You know that I left a meeting to see you? So what do you want? Tell me.

I need to know if I'm safe.

How would I know that? No one is saving this country.

As far as you're concerned, can I feel safe?

Ay, no! Nobody would kill their own biographer. Don't worry.

Relax.

What else?

Oh, Pablo.

You can't imagine how terrifying my life has become.

My phone won't stop ringing. Threats, everyday threats.

You have an army of men to protect you, but who protects me?

What about me? What can I do?

I need you tell everyone we're not together anymore.

You're breaking my heart.

After all I have done for you?

What have you done for me? Nothing!

I already had a career when I met you. Don't forget that.

And I'm the only woman who has loved you without expecting anything in return.

And that includes your wife. No no no no.

Don't you ever dare to compare to my wife. Don't

even put the name of Victoria on your list

She was with me when I didn't have a peso.

Would you have notice me back then? With no planes, no

travel and no shopping in New York? Would you have?

Tell me no, would you? I don't think so.

I'm broke, Pablo. I'm broke. My career is over because of you.

Nobody will hire me anymore, because of you!

So you need to help me! With how? What do you need?

Tell me.

What do you need, Virginia?

$ 80,000, to go to Europe.

$ 80,000, that's a lot of money.

Please, 80,000 dollars.

I don't have that money. No I don't.

And you are my biographer you have to stay here.

I've seen things, Pablo. I've seen things.

While I was with you. You've seen What?

Things that implicate a lot of people.

If I wanted to talk...

If you what?

No no no! I never expected it from you, really?

Oh my God, that was not what I mean.

Pablo, I would never betray you.

It's it that I'm desperate. I don't even know what I'm saying anymore.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

Come here. Give me a hug.

Don't worry. Don't worry. I will take care of you.

I will protect you and make sure you have a long life.

Because you know what?

I have one news for you.

Nobody will get near you because they will be afraid that I will kill them.

So your life will be full of shit!

Slut.

What a clown.

You, Pablo, things are getting rough every month.

Business, business isn't good.

No, they're not good.

My lord

Just one question. One question.

The Fany route moves, what? 10 kilos a month? Yes.

And you pay me what? 50000? 50000.

Yes, but Pablo, the Fany route failed twice this month.

We lost two 600 kilos shipments.

We have to pay the owners, hire lawyers for the pilots.

Easy, but the deal was 250, no? I gave you that route remember?

Listen to me, mate. 250 is impossible Pablo.

It's impossible. I mean it.

Trust us. We're your partners, son of a bitch.

We've been together from the start. Yes, Pablo?

But we are not in this together. I'm here and you're out.

We know the out, Pablo. Who do you think we are?

But you have to pay me the tax so...

You have to.

Either you pay it, or I double it right now.

We have to discuss it with the other families.

Listen, Pablo. Business has changed a lot.

Things aren't the same they used to be anymore.

50,000 should be enough, it's simple.

"50,000 should be enough, that simple."

So you come here...

to sit down in front of me with that gold and those fancy clothes?

"You're all getting rich out there while I'm here. No, no, no, Pablo."

And you are flirting with the Cali people.

And to top it up you don't even want to pay me.

Pablo, what's up? No, Pablo, it's not.

What are you doing?

Let me go! Let me go!

Don't complain. Don't complain. You are already dead. This is just a formality.

Do it.

Pablo, do not kill me like this! You are men, your pigs!

Just push me! This is where your families can put your pieces back together.

Show gratitude, you freaks. Give me his arm

The murders of La Catedral reached the media

and made the government an accomplice.

Its' credibility is at stake.

They decide to transfer Pablo to a military prison.

21 JULY, 1992

Forward, Forward!

Left flank, keep your eyes open!

The fence of the prison was electric

But the switch was in Pablo's room.

Our people are turning on us, boss.

Apparently, they are thinking:

"If he did that to Santoro and Hermosilla, why won't he do it to us?"

Damn bitches

Burn it like a chicken straight to Cali.

What, do you think that was a mistake?

Sure it was.

Pablo's ex-associates cooperate with the government

in exchange for having their records cleared

ITAGÜI PRISON MEDELLIN

Dozens of narcos willing to fight him are released.

To the airport.

Son, say goodbye. This is not our country, it's a mass grave.

Hey, hey, hey, hey. Who are you? What the fuck do you want?

Pablo's enemies, members of rival cartels and paramilitary groups,

together with government security forces supported by the DEA and the CIA

form the most lethal hunting party of all time.

"For working with Pablo Escobar."

The bodies of Pablo's lawyers, hitman, accountants and family

appears scattered all over Medellin.

FOR WORKING WITH PABLO ESCOBAR

Anyone who's ever been close to him, becomes a target.

Good morning, can I help you? Good morning.

These belonged to European royalty.

And these earrings...

If you give me a good price, I'll bring you more

Right. let me have a look.

Exquisite.

Don't open the door. Do you know him? No.

Call the police. Call the police.

Call the police. I'm sorry.

No, what are you doing? I don't want any trouble.

Let me in!

Let me in!

Let me in!

No!

I'm going to be a star.

Look.

Victoria, do you hear that? Manuela wants to be a star in a Christmas show.

Will you come and see me?

Yes I will.

Mommy made me a shiny costume.

I'm sure you're beautiful in it.

Victoria, what happened? Don't cry, don't cry.

She won't be in the show. What?

Why?

The parents of the other children objected. They held an assembly.

She doesn't know yet. Why?

Why?

Because they are afraid your enemies will blow up the school, Pablo, that's why.

They are scared. Son of a bitch.

Son of a bitch

Give me your hand.

I need you to take the kids, get in a plane and get out of this country.

It's getting very dangerous for you here.

You can't stay here. You can't.

So once you leave, I can take care of things.

You didn't keep your promise, Pablo.

You promised me everything would be fine.

That my children will have a normal life.

Does this seem like a normal life to you?

There's a woman out here. She wants to talk to you.

What's her name? I don't know. She got mad at me when I asked.

She says she's famous around here.

He needs to get his family out of the country. They can not stay here.

They will reach them in America, so they have to go to Europe.

And as soon as they are out, he'll feel free to destroy everything.

So you cannot let them leave

As long as they are here, he'll be busy trying to protect them.

You better trust me. You can't let them leave.

This is his weak spot, his family, his family, his family.

It's all he cares about, nothing else.

And you know that first hand, like don't you? No... You have no idea.

We can't do that.

The attorney general is the one getting them out of the country.

They made a deal. Once they're out, Pablo Escobar will turn himself in.

Break your word. Just put some pressure on the German Chancellor.

They land in Cologne in two hours. Do not let them get off that plane

There's no legal reason they can't travel to Germany. Bring them back.

The family is bait. We need them alive and at home.

Put them some place, we sit and we wait.

Pablo will try to talk to them, right? When that happens, we'll be ready.

EL DORADO AIRPORT BOGOTA

Pablo Escobar Gaviria's family was greeted by a strong

security presence upon arrival in Bogota this morning

after being denied entry into Germany.

His wife and children of the were forced to spend the night in the Cologne Airport

and later sent back to Colombia on a regular flight in the morning.

The bastards have taken my family hostage!

Bastards!

The German government has denied clemency position the family requested upon arrival.

The army has cordoned off the apartment building where they are staying.

The operation has been joined by men from the Fiscalía and the search squad.

Juan Pablo, please turn it off.

Do you need anything else?

No. Thank you.

Pablo!

Thank you very much. You're welcome

2 DECEMBER, 1993

You should ask if anyone wanted anything.

Hello? Call!

Victoria, what happened? Are you OK? Is everyone OK?

They treated us well. Don't worry.

You have to be careful, okay?

How are they? How are they? How are you? How is Manuela?

Where's Manuela? She's OK, she's ok.

We're always thinking about you, Pablo. We miss you so much.

Can you come and go? Are they protecting you? Are they holding you hostage?

There's an army outside.

Puppy Dog, do you read?

The man is on the phone. La América sector. I repeat La America sector.

We're on our way, sir.

Ask the attorney general to release you. Yes, attorney general.

It's only I can take care of my family, nobody else, nobody else, okay?

Hello?

Hello?

Anybody listening?

Hello?

Hello?

Two minutes, boss.

I know you are all there listening.

See, how you look like a bunch of fucking pussies

the colonel and his black trash and all of you gringos who went puta with my

and the CIA and that motherfucker with the DEA.

Are you ready to spare your life once, I won't spare you the game.

Now listen to me, my padrinos, everyone.

I'm going to kill you and your children and your wives

and I'm saving a special bullet to put right in front your fucking skull

and you want to bleed until you die!

Do you hear me, you damn bastards? Motherfuckers.

Don't call here anymore. The police will come... Victoria, don't tell me what to do.

No, no don't tell me what to do. Do what I ask you.

See, see, keep Manuela nearby.

Motherfuckers!

Motherfuckers.

Stay calm, boss. Check it, check it.

Hold on.

The previous moment to something happening is always the best moment.

Like when you are waiting for the man you love,

or when you are about to open a present.

The fisherman from the coast of Colombia say that would really matters is the wait.

Feeling the sea breeze on your face.

The salt on your lips.

Imagining that little fish fucker approaching the bait.

He wants to bite it but he thinks it over

But if the bait is good enough

The fish will eventually bite it.

Even when he knows there is a hook inside.

He'll bite.

Call!

Daddy?

Hi Manuela...

How is the most beautiful star in the sky?

Mommy says I can't be in the show.

Mommy is wrong. Mommy is saying it badly she wants it to be a surprise.

Until her I told yes.

I'm getting a signal. Somewhere in Los Olivos, between 80 and 90.

Los Olivos, 80th and 90th.

To Los Olivos! To Los Olivos!

You have your dress ready? It's so shiny, daddy.

Beautiful.

Beautiful.

Everything is going to be much, much better from now on. You will see.

Mi amor you will see.

Correction: 70 and 80.

Will you come and see me?

Yes I will. Of course.

Will they let you?

They? They will, of course they will.

And you know why? Because you're the king?

Yes, I am the king.

72 and 80th. 74 and 80th.

74 and 80th. To the left!

50 meters! Turn here!

Sweetheart, give the phone to Juan Pablo.

I just saw him! We got him!

Inform the president!

Dad?

Boss, two minutes. "Now Pablito, you are now the man of the house.."

Now you have to take care of your mother and Manuela, do you understand me?

Do you understand me? Okay.

Ok I have some notes for you to tell the

press. Go ahead Write it down, write it down.

OK, the attorney general agreed on getting

you out of the country but they didn't do it

Beacuse they gave in to the pressure of my enemies in Colombia and out of Colombia

Tell them that Pablo Escobar agreed on turning

himself in the moment his family was safe,

but they did not keep their side of the deal and

now they will have to pay the consequences.

Whatever happens from now on is gonna be their fault.

Okay? Repeat what I said about to me Juan Pablo.

No no no no!

No, that's not what I said, Juan Pablo. That's not what I said.

I said that they are responsible for all of this

and that they have to face the consequences now.

Do you understand me? Okay, Dad. I'm going to hang up.

Say it! Listen, you have to learn this.

If you, If you can't get people to like you,

then you have to make them to respect you!

And if they don't respect you, then make them fear you!

Understood? Understood?

Make them fear you!

Do you hear that?

Hold on.

Dad?

Long live Colombia!

Long live Colombia!
