HE WHO DOESN'T KNOW HISTORY IS DOOMED TO REPEAT IT

PABLO ESCOBAR, THE LORD OF EVIL

Mr. Motoa,

your request for extradition to Colombia has been approved.

To Colombia...

Did you hear that, Gildardo? We’re going to Colombia!

We're going home, man!

Thank God.

I’m so happy!

Pablo Escobar.

Who'd have thought it.

Me here

with Pablo Escobar.

You know what?

In my neighborhood they talk about you a lot.

- Yeah? - Yes.

I almost didn’t recognize you, sir.

My beautiful girl, don’t be so formal.

Don't address me as sir.

Really?

You know something? I feel embarrassed.

I feel as though

I were disrespecting you or something like that.

No, my beautiful girl. Come.

Sit here with me,

and I’ll explain it to you.

Look, my darling,

you and I are already best friends.

So, you don’t have to feel embarrassed

or that you're disrespecting me.

We are friends,

and you can feel at home here.

You come and enjoy the pool whenever you want.

You can even tell your mom and dad

that you’re going to do your homework with your girlfriends.

I’ll send someone to pick you up and the two of us will do your homework.

Okay! So from now on,

I won't call you sir.

That's it.

No more sir.

- Not for you. - No, I'm your little Pablo.

My lovely little Pablo.

- That's it. - All right.

From now on I'm going to call you my little Pablo.

That's it, your little Pablo.

My little Pablo.

My little Pablo!

I'm your little Pablo.

- You’re a beautiful girl, aren’t you? - Yes.

My goodness, brother.

This flying experience is really awesome.

I should do this all the time!

Alirio!

Get the van ready and I’ll leave right away!

The van will be waiting for you, boss.

Everything okay?

Yes, sir, nothing new.

Alirio, I’m about to land.

Turn it off.

We're leaving.

Get ready, sergeant.

Don’t land! It’s a trap!

What, what do you mean a trap, jackass?

Now! Fire! Fire!

- How do you like that, assholes? - Bastard!

Jackasses!

Yeah, yeah.

Run! Let’s go!

Come on!

Let's have it!

It was your fault!

We’re just playing!

- Did you hurt yourself? - Sorry, Pablo, I was going for the ball.

Sorry? You tried to kill me!

Huh?

It's just a game, right?

Eh?

Chili.

- Yes? - Give that to me!

We’re going to play like men!

Go long, Gonzalo!

Let's go!

Thank you.

Miss...

thanks for agreeing to speak to me.

Whatever it takes to see the culprit behind my husband's death in prison.

Oh God, no my love!

No! Somebody help!

I can imagine how you're feeling,

knowing that your husband’s death

hasn't been solved yet.

That’s common when criminals are wealthy and influential.

I hope that everything is going to change

now that I'm handling the case.

I don’t want to sound disrespectful, but...

what makes you think you’re going to put Pablo Escobar in jail?

You’re not disrespectful.

I understand your skepticism, but let me tell you

that as soon as I have certain evidence, Escobar will be in jail.

Or you'll end up dead, one or the other.

I know better than anyone that this is a risk,

and I understand perfectly when you say Escobar is a dangerous man.

Yes, and he’s going to do all he can to ruin this case,

even though everybody knows he killed my husband.

That’s why I’m here, miss.

I need to gather as much proof as I can.

Believe me, magistrate,

Pablo Escobar killed my husband,

just like Gonzalo Gaviria killed your partner.

Do you know of anyone,

a neighbor perhaps, who saw anything?

Yes, I understand that several people witnessed it.

Ah, perfect.

But the thing is,

that will be useless, magistrate.

None of those who were there have your courage,

and they aren’t going to tell you anything about what happened.

No, brother.

Herbert is playing well.

Sure! I used to play for the Quintín minor leagues!

Have you listened to him?

Well, brother, the guerrillas have taught you to play well.

Cheers to that.

I don't believe it myself.

So what's the story? How's it going?

You've spent your life complaining about MR20,

always taking shots at them,

and now you're playing dumb, come on.

Now, come on, gentleman. You know I've always been

anti- imperialist, but this is simply

a survival strategy,

because I feel safer inside the jungle.

Now I’m a proud Quintín suck-up!

To be honest, thinking about it,

I don’t think that the situation is so bad.

I think it is for you because you have two problems.

- Two judges looking for you. - No, Mariachi.

We all do because the Bogota judge who insists on accusing us

of Minister Lara Bonilla’s murder

is also your problem, sir.

But that’s okay, Mr. Escobar. I’m already taking care of that.

The other issue

only concerns Gonzalo and me.

A stupid female judge in Medellin who is currently

accusing us of the murder of two DAI agents.

Ah yes, but I think

that it's much less complicated

having two judges after you

than a colonel of the Republic, Pablo.

Well, with this kind of people

what we have to do is get rid of them, once and for all.

I agree with you, your honor.

Let’s kill that colonel!

Hey brother, show some respect.

What’s this? C’mon! Give me the gun!

Relax, relax.

I honestly think

that the Bogota judge is a problem

that can be solved right away.

What worries me is the magistrate issue

because it would mean disturbing the hornet's nest.

And regarding Colonel Marcos,

I honestly don't think it's a worry for the organization.

It's not worth thinking about.

Seriously, Pablo? So the Colonel that's fucking up my life doesn’t matter?

Come on!

Let’s go for another round, guys!

A rematch. Come on, Chili.

The Government of the United States feels honored

to decorate a man that has done so much

to combat drug-trafficking in this country.

Colonel Jairo Jiménez,

as Director of the Anti-Drug Trafficking Unit

declared war

on the Colombian mafia.

His achievements include not only the destruction

of the largest cocaine production laboratory,

but he also recently raided

dozens of properties belonging to the infamous drug trafficker

Marcos Herbert,

wanted for extradition by the United States.

It's for that reason

that I, representing the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) of the United States,

am honored to decorate

the courageous Colonel Jiménez, for his courage

bravery and unwavering determination

against drug trafficking in Colombia.

I wish to thank the Government of the United States

for their recognition not only of me

but also the entire force.

I’m a man of few words, I prefer facts.

And it is a fact and my own promise

to deliver the delinquent and drug-trafficker

Marcos Herbert and all delinquents inside the country

to the government of the United States.

Your honor, any developments in the case of Minister Lara’s murder?

Truthfully, I'm very close to a result.

You’ll find out very soon

what decision I've made.

Have you investigated the Cartel?

Well, that’s confidential information.

Now if you'll excuse me, I have to attend a prison hearing.

- Thank you, your honor. - A pleasure.

I hope you sell everything!

Show some respect, Ma'am.

...and above all to those investigating crimes attributed to Pablo Escobar

and his accomplices in the Medellin Cartel.

The judiciary division can't remain unprotected in this fight,

accusing and imprisoning the guilty,

as those being investigated feel they have the power to silence them

with intimidation and murder.

What's happened?

Actually,

with everything bad that's going here, I don't want to know.

No, it's nothing important.

Can you get that, dear?

- Hello? - Give him eternal rest, Lord.

May perpetual light shine upon Zuluaga.

Give him eternal rest, Lord. May perpetual light shine upon Zuluaga!

What's wrong?

Give him eternal rest, Lord, and may perpetual light shine...

- What's wrong? - Juan! I’ll get it.

Hello.

Give him eternal rest, Lord. May perpetual light shine upon Zuluaga!

Give him eternal rest, Lord. May perpetual light shine upon Zuluaga!

Understand me, Julio.

I’m going crazy in this place.

I'm losing it.

I want to get out. I need to leave, brother.

You should take more advantage of your time in here.

I’m sure you're sleeping better here

than at home with all our problems.

Anyway, look at the positive side of it.

Here, you don’t have to put up with your wife's nagging everyday.

I hadn't thought of that.

How is she?

All right, Pedro. We are all fine here. Don’t worry.

Hey attorney! When are you going to get me out of this place?

I ask you to be patient, Don Pedro. The situation is quite difficult.

I know things are difficult, but now you're going home to your wife,

and I'm the one stuck here.

So for you it's not so difficult.

The truth is that many judges are being killed,

and things are becoming complicated.

Wait a minute! What are you talking about?

We had nothing to do with that. What’s the issue?

There's no issue here, especially now that he's pled guilty.

We just have to wait for the judge to deliver his verdict.

But you told me the sentence would be lenient.

Yes, sir, three to four months.

Three to four months?

Yes, sir.

I didn't know that!

Pedro, did you know it'd be a case of three to four months?

Of course, jackass! What did you think?

That I'd confess my sins and stay in this hole for a year?

I'm not that fucking stupid.

What’s all that fuss, then?

You're extradited from Spain, come back and get three to four months in prison.

That's awesome, man.

Seriously, brilliant work, sir!

- Glad to be of service. - Absolutely great.

Thank you.

Three to four months.

Why didn’t you answer my call?

What call?

You and I agreed on one thing.

You’ll give me the information and you won’t go to jail.

I can’t let the bosses find out.

What bosses? You don't talk to anyone. Just follow the rules, okay?

You’re putting me in a very bad situation.

Oh, all right. You can go to jail then.

Is that what you want?

What about the money you offered for the information?

I’m going to give it to you, but you have to earn it!

A few days ago, they all met at the boss’s ranch.

They were talking about some judges. That’s all I know.

Marcos Herbert?

That guy's got a screw loose.

He’s planning to pretend to be a guerrilla to get a reprieve.

And where is he?

Look at me.

Where is he?

Sir!

Thank you very much, Don Carlos.

It’s fucking hot here!

Yes, sir, it’s blistering.

Tell me something, Don Carlos.

Is this river dangerous? Like the Amazon?

With crocodiles and things?

No.

You should fear the humans here more than the animals.

You’re quite right. Very wise.

Cheers! Thank you very much

for your hospitality.

My pleasure, sir. Cheers.

Well, thanks very much for everything.

Here's a token of my appreciation.

A pleasure, sir.

The pleasure is all mine.

Very kind. Could you untie my boat, please?

Yes, sir.

You said you and Hector were neighbors for many years,

and since I’m investigating his death,

I’d like to talk to you.

Will you please call my office?

The phone number is 218 49 27.

Thank you.

Good afternoon, your honor.

- Good afternoon. - A pleasure.

Pablo Emilio Escobar at your service.

I know perfectly well who you are. What do you want?

We were just passing by,

and I wanted to meet you personally

because it’s good to know the people

who are in charge of your case.

I also wanted to tell you

that I'm at your disposal at any time, for whatever you need,

regarding the case you’re conducting against me.

This is going to be like any other trial.

I’ll abide by the rule of law, no matter who you are.

You can be sure you’re going to have a fair trial.

That's good to know,

because I fully trust the justice system in this country.

And I want you to know

I'll be pleading innocent.

I had nothing to do with those men’s deaths.

I want that to be clear.

Give my regards to your wife,

and I congratulate you and her on the upcoming arrival

of your baby.

So long, your honor.

I think your extradition from Spain and the absurd sentence in Colombia

are an absolute joke. Wouldn't you agree?

Well, miss, what can I say?

That’s how this country’s legislation works. I have no power over it.

What type of trial do you think you’d have had in the US for trafficking?

I think it would have been a very difficult trial

with very few benefits for me,

but despite everything I would have been found innocent.

Does that mean your wealth only comes from your cattle activities?

I wouldn’t talk about wealth.

I’d say that I’m a successful businessman

who made a mistake for which I’m here,

and I’ll have to pay for it.

What can you say about accusations that link you with Pablo Escobar?

Pablo Escobar and I acquaintances.

Partners?

- In the Medellin Cartel? - I don't know what you mean.

Do you believe in justice, Mr. Motoa?

Of course, one hundred percent.

So do you think the world will one day know the real Pedro Motoa?

The drug trafficker? The delinquent?

Not the man who pretends to be a cattle raiser

and takes advantage of the incompetence of the authorities?

Listen, miss, I think this interview is over.

It's a hypothetical question. What’s your problem in answering it?

Have a nice day.

Hello.

Hey.

Hey, Jorge.

- I’m sorry, brother. - You're kind of late, aren’t you?

I know it. If you want I can cover you for an hour tomorrow.

Of course, that's fine. Come on. Everything okay?

What do you mean? Of course! Everything’s fine.

Relax, brother, everything’s okay. Excuse me.

Catfish to Fisherman. Come in, Fisherman.

The bait is in the net, over.

Let’s go!

Let’s go! Move, move! Hurry! Hurry!

Good afternoon, your honor.

- Afternoon. - Nice to see you.

Pablo Emilio Escobar, at your service.

Give my regards to your wife.

I congratulate you and her

on the upcoming arrival of your baby.

Hello, dear.

How was it?

Fine, a bit jammed around the corner but all right.

What are you doing here so early?

I don't know...

I decided to leave the office earlier.

- Why? - Gustavo,

we've been married 20 years, and you’ve never left the office early.

Well, there's a first time for everything.

What's wrong?

Oh, darling!

You look terrible! Tell me, what is it?

Margarita,

we need to talk.

Oh Marcos, baby. You need to have a rest.

What’s wrong, my love?

Don’t you understand I’m a military leader?

Don’t you understand I’m trying to mold these young men's minds?

Yes, my love, I know,

but the baby and I also need you.

Okay, love, put her up here. I’m going to talk to her.

Listen, baby girl. Your father is trying to change the minds

of all those who don’t understand

that Colombia needs to live without Americans, without Yankees!

You hear me, baby girl? You’ll understand me someday, my baby.

I know that, but your baby

- and I can't live without you. - Okay, you know what?

You two go to the bedroom

- and eat some fruit, and I'll be up soon. - We'll be waiting for you.

But don’t fool around, all right? And don’t take long.

All right, honey.

Rodilla!

Yes, my commander!

Go and get some good booze, all you want.

And C-dust, in case we get drunk.

- Go on son, go! - Yes, commander!

Confirmed, gentlemen!

The ranch is six miles away.

We’ve been told he’s going to be less than a mile Northwest.

He’ll be taking a rest in there.

We have the surprise factor, sir.

And air support.

They're going to fly over the whole area.

We’ll surround the four flanks.

He won’t escape this time.

No, this time we have them surrounded.

Listen. Marcos Herbert.

He’s the target,

- got it? - Yes, Colonel!

- Okay, let’s go! - Get going!

Is the bill ready?

Of course, miss.

- Would you please wait in the lobby? - Of course.

- Okay. - Thank you.

Regina.

How are you, Niky?

Surprised! Aren’t you supposed to be in Bogota presenting the news?

Someone is going to replace me.

Oh, okay!

Are you here to cover a special event?

- Oh, don’t say we’re going to be scooped! - Your bill, Miss Polania!

Lovely, thank you.

It was great to see you, Niky. Say hello to Don Guillermo.

Thanks.

It was Pablo Escobar, walking around the city like any Tom, Dick or Harry.

He can afford it for the time being,

because there is neither a warrant for his arrest

nor a request for extradition.

That’s incredible!

As long as United States or Colombian authorities have nothing against him,

he’ll continue to be free.

Like Pedro Motoa. A maximum of three months in jail and that'll be it.

In the meantime we’ll have to trust Zuluaga,

the Medellin high court magistrate,

who is heading the investigation against Escobar

for the murder of the two DAI Agents.

Oh and to top it all off,

Regina Parejo

is sharing a bed with the worst drug trafficker in the country.

Regina Parejo and Pablo Escobar are lovers.

Do you have proof?

No, right?

You know,

being with you

is the best that's ever happened to me.

You have become my...

well, my very own Manuela.

Manuela who?

Manuela Sáenz, Simon Bolivar's lover.

Sáenz?

Manuela Sáenz.

I’m Bolivar and you are Manuela Sáenz.

May I say something?

Yes.

You’re the most intelligent man I’ve ever met.

Don’t hurt this country anymore, Pablo.

Stop killing politicians.

What do you mean? I have nothing to do with that.

You don’t have to lie to me.

Listen, my Manuela. It's as simple as this.

If no one messes with the Liberator,

the Liberator won’t mess with anybody, and that’s it!

That’s not the way to do things.

You can’t kill all the judges who investigate you.

You think that's the way to kill the cases?

Who told you I kill the judges who investigate me, Regina?

That’s the problem in this country.

If a bomb explodes, Pablo Escobar did it.

A bus crashes, Pablo Escobar did it.

A kid drowns in a pool, Pablo Escobar. It's not easy for me.

I know I’m no saint, but I’m not the monster

the mass media want to show the country.

Relax.

You need a lawyer.

What are you going to do when the extradition order arrives?

- That’s not going to happen. - Yes, it is.

Sooner or later it’s going to happen, and you know it.

If that’s so,

I’ll join the guerrilla, and from there I'll lead a peace process.

- That's ridiculous. - It’s not ridiculous, because you know

that I’ve had revolutionary ideas ever since I was a boy.

And if Marcos Herbert, who was extreme right,

could join the Quintín Lame guerilla group,

I can do the same with the MR20.

Herbert's sentence will never be turned over, Pablo. That guy is mad.

No government is going to accept it when he has an extradition over his head.

Blanca! Ms. Patricia has arrived!

What’s with you, Jorge?

Why don’t you move if the boss’s wife needs help?

The truth is that I’m thinking, boss.

Thinking about what? I don’t pay you to think, I pay you to work, pal.

I received a call that worried me.

Forget about it, man!

Don’t give me problems!

I'm paying you to work.

Yes, boss, but it has to do with Marcos Herbert.

How come? Are you having problems with the guy?

Of course not! He’s the one with problems.

They called me from the Cauca, where the guy is in hiding.

The police are after him.

Are you sure?

Boss, I have contacts there who know I’m on the lookout.

They called me to say there are cops all over the place.

J1 to J2. J1 to J2.

We're approaching the target, over.

We're here.

So, everybody listen up.

Cocaine and marijuana

are mild stimulants the gringos need to survive,

but we aren’t going to call this coke.

It's the sacred plant, the one that allows us to be alive today

and loyal to our principles.

Because we are the promoters of the change of thought,

of revolutionary movements in Latin America.

Long live a free Colombia!

Long live a free Colombia!

Long live a free Colombia!

- Acevedo! - Commander!

Marcos! Pablo Escobar’s head of security is calling!

Hello. What’s up, Chili?

Don Herbert!

Get out of there right away! The cops are on the way to your house!

The cops? Don’t worry.

We are celebrating the fact that we are alive.

Don't worry! I have people positioned a mile away from this ranch.

Hello?

Don Herbert!

Turn down the music!

Turn down the music!

They got us! Sons of a bitches!

He hung up. Either he's high or he didn't believe a word of it.

Let’s hope he can escape before the cops get there.

I can’t run with this belly! Go on without me.

Listen, someone will come for you. Be careful.

Listen, I've done nothing. They won't do anything to me.

- All right, take care of my baby, please. - I promise.

I love you.

Take care. Bye, my little baby.

I can’t stay.

- I love you! - Let's go!

Close him in on the left! Close him in on the right!

Freeze! Don't move!

National Police! Stop!

Get on the ground

On the ground!

Hands up!

Search him!

Marcos Herbert!

Turn around!

Marcos Herbert!

Marcos Herbert!

Turn around!

Turn him over.

Herbert?

Where's Herbet?

- Radio. - Colonel.

Air unit! Air unit!

Target is escaping!

Repeat, target is escaping!

Good afternoon!

Good afternoon, madam.

Hi, kids.

Can you and the children get out of the car, please?

I’m sorry, officer,

but the children just got out of school, they're tired,

and we’re in a bit of a hurry.

- Get out and leave the keys in. - What's going on?

Get out.

- Quickly. - Come on, kids.

Listen, madam.

I’m going to be clear because your husband didn’t understand.

Come on, boys, push!

What are you doing with my car?

If your husband doesn’t abandon Pablo Escobar’s case,

next time I won’t let you get out of the car!

Do you understand?

Well? Do you get me, madam?

- Push! Push harder! - What are they doing?

Stay there!

Go on, really push it!

It's done, boss. It's been made clear.

I hope so.

Yes, sir.

Sergeant, secure the perimeter!

Why the smile? What are we celebrating?

Herbert escaped, he’s gone.

And he left you with his problems.

You came looking for him, not his things.

Life is full of surprises, madam.

Look, wife and son.

Daughter.

Even better, two for one.

You can’t do anything to me. You can’t arrest me, I've done nothing.

Save it for the judge.

What will you tell him when he finds out all the cocaine was in your house?

Cocaine?

You know what this is called?

Aiding and abetting. You can go to jail.

But this isn’t mine, it’s my husband’s.

I could care less.

Let’s do this, madam.

You help me and I’ll help you.

Or do you want to give birth in prison?

Now, wouldn't that be nice?

You two, come on.
