All language subtitles for Ibiza.Narcos.S01E03.1080p.HEVC.x265-MeGusta

The following programme contains
drug references, flashing images,

strong language and strong images of
real life injury.

Every level of the drug game
was there in Spain and Ibiza.

And I can only assume
that I got shot

because I was the conduit
to the cheaper drugs.

They just shot me in the leg.

So the first one...

went right in my leg here.

(GUNSHOT)
Bang. I've hit the deck.

And now I'm on the floor.

Fucking mug! Go on! Go on then!

(GUNSHOT)
Bang! Gone through the arm.

I didn't think he'd do it again
but he shot me again.

But it went through my willy
and shot my right testicle out.

And then he come walking towards me.
Like you.

You walk towards me. There.

And he pointed the gun out.

And I thought
he was going to kill me.

Oh no, this can't kill me.
And bang.(GUNSHOT)

He's shot me and I thought
right I'm going to die.

No, no, no, no, no.
And then I heard him running off.

I've had to learn the hard way
because I didn't want to listen.

So I tell people listen.

You don't want to learn
the hard way. It's no good.

It came right through there.

(THEME MUSIC STARTS)

# It could be a spoonful of diamond

# It could be a spoonful of gold

# Just a little spoon
of your precious love

# Satisfy my soul #

(THEME SONG ENDS)

DANNY: 'In the summer of '92,
when I was 18,

I come to Ibiza
and it's just freedom.

I just got to experience freedom.'

(DANCE MUSIC)
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

Girls and bikinis and beaches

and I was able to do
whatever I damn so pleased.

Just, just hedonism.

This is Es Paradis.

Es Paradis Terrenal.

Which used to mean, or stills means,
it's paradise on Earth.

(PSYCHEDELIC MUSIC)

But we sat here
and I just fell in love.

18 years old,
looking around going, where am I?

Kid from a council estate,
alcoholic mother, no father,

no money, debt collectors
always knocking on the door.

And then you come here
and you're in paradise.

And then we got the opportunity
to do parties out here.

REPORTER: Tonight's the opening
of Clockwork Orange.

One of the club's partners
is 25-year-old Danny Gould

and he's got a long day
ahead of him.

That looks wicked, darling!

Gotta put my dodgy outfit on yet.

I hate my outfit.

(DANCE MUSIC)

Clockwork in Es Paradis
was always about the atmosphere.

But quarter to six,
all the cushions would come out,

a man would go in the middle
and sweep out all the glass

and all the cigarettes
and then when it was all clean,

he'd give the thumbs up...

# I'm singing in the rain...

..and then the fountains
would go on.

And then everyone'd go
into the middle.

(CHEERING)

And you imagine 3,600 people.

It was just a maelstrom of madness
and getting on it.

And if I wasn't the person
at the end of the night

who looked the most buckled,
then I'd failed basically.

And then, as more money we was
earning, the more cocaine you did.

That's the basic truth of it.

(MUFFLED DANCE MUSIC)
(MUFFLED CHEERING)

I think a lot of it
was to do with the ritual as well.

Getting it.

Holding it.

Sharing it.

It's almost like a dance.
Know what I mean.

Got a bit of bugle,
got it in me pocket.

Do you know what I mean?

It magnified my madness.

If you didn't have a key,
you'd punch the window in.

And then my mate tells me
he was only joking,

and he's got the keys
to the front door anyway.

That was partying in Ibiza.

If you didn't die, you had
a story to tell the next day.

DIRECTOR: Where were you
getting your cocaine from?

Ooh I can't remember.

Who knows where anyone got
any of that stuff from.

Would you be driving a shipment
of drugs in a car like this then?

(TENSE MUSIC)

(THEY SPEAK SPANISH)

(DANCE MUSIC)

(EXHALES)

(BOTTLES CLINK)

(WHISTLES)

Aye aye.

How's your night shift?

Yeah, get that down you, mate.

Ooh, look at this.

For me?

Nice one!

(INDISTINCT SHOUTING)

(MAN GROANS)

(MAN GRUNTS)

(MAN GRUNTS)

DIRECTOR: Cut!

Is that how things really went down?

REPORTER:

EL SAPO:

DIRECTOR:
Press reports claim

that Los Miami were
making 58 million euros a year.

(LAUGHS)

Late 90s, early 2000s,
the island was evolving,

all these clubs expanded enormously

and it coincided with cocaine
becoming far more popular

but there was a very difficult
balancing act going on,

because Ibiza thrived economically

but at the same time was changing,
was hardening up.

Turning into a tough,
criminal island.

You've got British crime groups
in San Antonio,

but the rest of the island
was the Spanish crime groups

who've decided that it's their
territory and they own it.

The dominant group was Los Miami.

They had a hell of a reputation.

They'd spent the previous decade
dominating Madrid

and the area around it and they were
now transferring their skills,

if you want to call them that,
to Ibiza with great effect.

And I actually met
a group of them once

and it was the most terrifying
meeting I've ever had

with criminals.

They didn't laugh,
they didn't smile,

they hardly said a word.

And I remember looking in their eyes
and... there was deadness.

Cocaine brought with it
a new, colder type of criminal.

Organised crime groups
were all using enforcers

to keep control
of their individual gangs.

Cos what they're trying to tell
their own workforces

or other crime gangs is,
"Do not fuck me over,

we will get you."

(GRUNTS)

'Basically all the drug cartels
was there in Ibiza.

And I was doing business
and doing things

with the highest level of criminal
fraternity you could ever imagine.'

(GRUNTS)

'People got cut, beaten,
stabbed and shot over there.

The same as any other drug haven.'

(GRUNTS)

'Anywhere the criminals go,
drugs guns and violence goes.

And that's the reality of it.

It was my life.'

I come from a long
line of criminals.

I weren't told
we were all criminals.

But, you know, we got,
"Shh. Police."

"Someone's at the door. Shh."

(EXHALES)

My dad was an international
drug dealer.

Drove my mum to drink and drugs.

It sort of rippled into us.

So it was just like a chaotic life
of madness, really, growing up.

Drugs abuse
from the early age of 13.

You might smoke an ounce of crack

and then take a gram or two
of heroin to come down.

But I went up
the criminal ladder rapid.

Everything to do
with stealing, robbing,

fighting, and guns and drugs.
I was in it.

I was the guy that added value
to people by looking after them.

And I done that
through a lot of violence.

It was barbaric.

So you were the guy
that could sort of guarantee

that a deal would happen?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

How?

You'd be doing something
then all of a sudden I'd be there,

like... "Hello mate,
I need to have a word with you."

And they'd be like, "Fucking hell
Marv. What's the matter."

"Listen, (IMITATES GUN LOADING)
what's your fucking problem,

are you gonna do it or not?
It's not complicated.

And they'd go, "Ooh. Yeah..."

Ibiza was a very loving place.

But I never went nowhere
without guns and knives.

If anyone was at that level
with criminal activity,

they wouldn't go anywhere
without them either.

That's all you've got to protect
yourself, you can't ring the police.

Like, that was my point,
with everybody.

Fucking kill me
or you're going to die.

(CAR ENGINE STARTS)

How easy was it to bribe the police?

EL SAPO:

What was it like
working with the cartels?

EL SAPO:

BARTOLOME:

EL SAPO:

What, you put trackers
on their boats?

(BEEPING)

NEUS:

It wouldn't be
a multi-million-pound industry

if the police wasn't involved.

Because they'd do everything
they could to stop it.

What, so if you get caught..?

How big's the problem, mate?

How big? Please how big?

And they go...
And you go...

Now fuck off.

That's how it was.

JAVIER:

BARTOLOME:

REPORTER (IN CATALAN):

BARTOLOME:

(SHUTTER CLICKS)

EL SAPO:

Were you on the boat?

(CHUCKLES)

BARTOLOME:

I had the authorisation
for an American Express Black Card.

So I'm in Ibiza
and I was spending like the king.

I mean, I been on the yachts
partying, on the super yachts.

My drink of choice was Dom Perignon,
yeah.

So I'm giving it the absolute
biggun - partying, partying,

partying, partying.
Buying everybody everything.

At the time, everything's the best
in the world man, everything's fun.

BARTOLOME:

It's beyond your wildest dreams,
it really is.

If I'm being honest,
we was just insane.

And it was just, it felt normal.

But Ibiza had a really
dark side to it

that you could only really suffer
for a little period of time,

otherwise you'd crack up.

And a lot of people
did crack up from Ibiza.

Some people lost the plot
over there, man,

cos it was deep over there.

DANNY: I thought about this
the other day.

Someone was in a club once and
they was talking about someone else

and they went,
"That geezer's a coke head."

I thought, how glamorous is that.
That's how twisted I used to be.

I thought, "How glamorous is that?
That's what I want to be.

I want to be a coke head."
And I did. And I was.

And the more successful we were,
the more I was taking.

It'd just go on for days.

But it was always the same.

Always made me clam up.
Always made me like that.

Wary, my eyes got bigger.

It was just overpowering.
I did it.

I did it for years.

But it's no fun.

The paranoia.

You can't think straight.

Everything's heightened.

Everyone going,
"What's that noise?"

"Who said that?"
"I didn't say nothing."

"What's going on?"
"Who's outside?"

And you'd all go and hide
in a darkened room

and looking out the curtains.

I used to think people were living
in my flat, in the cupboards.

I'd search for them
with a knife every night.

"I know you're in here."

And in the end, it broke me.
It literally broke me.

I'd be frozen to a chair.

I'd just literally sit like that.

Frozen to the chair.

There was no partying.
There was no conversation.

It was like a crackhouse.

That ain't normal, do you know
what I mean. That ain't normal.

(MUFFLED DANCE MUSIC)
(BREATHING HEAVILY)

(SNIFFS)

(DANCE MUSIC INTENSIFIES)

(PEOPLE WHOOPING, CHEERING)

(OBJECT CLINKS)

(OBJECT THUDS)

(SNIFFS)

(COUGHS)

(LAUGHTER ECHOES)

(LAUGHTER ECHOES)

(SIZZLING)

(INAUDIBLE DIALOGUE)

WENSLEY:
All of the crime groups

were filled with problems
with cocaine.

The criminal bosses themselves
were getting increasingly paranoid

about what their soldiers
and their gangs were up to.

And that was leading
to even more irritation,

violence, paranoia.

Honestly, it was a really bad
environment to be in.

EL SAPO:

REPORTER:

EL SAPO:

NEUS:

WENSLEY: The implosion of Los Miami
led to a power vacuum.

And there were a lot of criminals
on the island

who didn't know
which way to turn.

They didn't know who was
their friend, who was their foe.

And it led to a lot of problems.

You never knew where you stood.

One criminal said to me
it was impossible to know

what would happen in the next hour,
let alone the next day.

Put it this way,
I never got stabbed. I did get shot.

But I got shot by my own people,
not by the Europeans,

my own people shot me.
And the reason why I got shot was

because people wanted to mess
about with the prices.

So I got shot to be
taken out of the way.

Really?
Yeah, because look,

everybody wants to make more money
for themselves. They're all slags.

Everyone in the drug game is a slag
that wants to make as much money

as they can for themselves.

So, look, halfway down the leg,

you can actually see the bullet,
yeah? The whole bullet. See it?

I got told I'd never walk again,

but yet the bullet
that went through the eye...

there's the bullet,
that white thing there

is the bullet.
It stopped halfway through my eye.

And they don't know what stopped it.

It's a bit of a miracle
you walked away from that, isn't it?

I believe so.

(SNIFFS)

(GUNSHOT)

DIRECTOR: Why didn't you
end up like that?

Someone shot you?

What happened?

REPORTER:

REPORTER:

You were arrested in 2011

for crimes including
drug trafficking, kidnapping,

violent robberies, the mutilation
and amputation of limbs,

and money laundering?

JAVIER:

Why did you turn your back
on the drug world?

Did you ever feel... guilty?

The people who had overdosed,

had become addicted to drugs
that you were involved in moving?

So you didn't have empathy for them?

DANNY:
In the height of my addiction,

I used to be sitting there
gasping for breath.

Paranoid, going like that.
(GASPS REPEATEDLY)

Thinking if I die now, I die happy.
And that's sad.

We was in a restaurant one night

and I pressed what I call
the "fuck it" button.

I went "Fuck it." I drunk that.
I done this shot.

I done that.
I went give me loads of pills.

Give me some weed.
Give me some more gear.

At the end of that night,
my head was like a melon

and I actually thought
it was going to split open.

That was the pain in my head.
Like, insanity.

And I woke up the next morning,
rung my mum up, who was,

how long was she sober by then,
17 years,

I just said I don't think
I can do this anymore.

The actual desire to wanna drink
and to get on it every day

was gone from that moment.

I blamed the island
for many, many years.

That's how mental I am.

Nothing to do with the island.
It was who I was as a person.

MARVIN: I wouldn't go back there
myself, personally.

Too many triggers of my old life.

Although it's very glamorous
to some people,

it's a world they'd wished
they'd never got involved in

once they got balls deep
in the drugs trade.

It's not a place you want to be in.

It's not a world
that you can be proud of.

And it's not a place you want your
kids to be, so what's the point.

(WATER RUNS)

I thought about the ripple effect
of my actions

and you think wow, like,

we do this to everyone else's kids,
everyone else's family.

It was just,
come on, this is madness.

And that was my turning point.

I'm embarrassed beyond belief

that I actually believed
being a criminal

was a much better option
than doing anything else.

Like, I'm actually embarrassed
I was that thick.

(UPBEAT DANCE MUSIC)

Drugs have provided the good,
the bad, and the ugly

as far as Ibiza is concerned.

Its finances and its economy

have continued to boom
beyond belief.

And yet, in the core of it,
it's got a criminal element

that probably no other island
in the world has got.

BARTOLOME:

Something about this island
kept drawing me back.

Some would say like the party scene
but there's something else about it.

Only when I when I got sober
did I actually realise what it was.

And it's just Ibiza in itself.

Everything that it gives to you.

The beauty, relaxation, the food,

the countryside, and the smell.

That pine. The sea.

When I'm here and I smell it,
I'm back in my spiritual place.

It's just magical, amazing,

life-changing,

not to be forgotten.
