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

PABLO ESCOBAR, THE LORD OF EVIL

So?

- How's it going? - They're in pajamas.

You heard? I don't want to spoil the plan.

- I can deal with a plan B. - Sure.

I'm sure what we brought will get us out of trouble.

But we need to get into that man's place.

Yeah.

- Of course. - Really?

If we don't get shot first, let's go with our awesome plan.

Honey, I feel like I got a monkey off my back, I can imagine how you must feel.

A lot calmer, especially about you and the kids, I was worried.

Can we go back home? I still feel like a foreigner here.

We waited this long, we can wait a bit longer.

Honey, but your brother invited us to Sesaima for the weekend,

we should go, it would be great. And we deserve it but...

But not yet. We need to be cautious.

- But they took away the threat. - Yes, we don't have as many guards,

- we're calmer. - Indeed, and what's the problem?

Just a little bit more time.

- Okay. - Come here.

Catch the animal however you can, it'll be all right.

- And what sort of animal is it? - We have all sorts of animals.

Get something for these guys.

- Pablo. - Thanks to all of you for everything.

Okay, bottoms up.

Yee haw!

Cold beer for everybody.

Hey, come get your beer. Here.

Or is it you want something a bit stronger?

Speak your minds.

- Thank you, boss. - I want something stronger,

an insect repellant, they're eating me alive.

How about the repellant?

I heard you're going to kill Colonel Jimenez.

You will really hurt the country this time, huh?

Actually, Crisanto, we were going to, but

that mission is a thing of the past.

Why don't you tell me what's your problem with El Espectador's journalists?

I can't understand how these El Espectador journalists

not only mess around in the capital city but also in the provinces, why?

Yes, Pablo, like I told you,

I have one breathing down my neck.

I liked it at first, because I was featured in the newspaper and all,

but then that man started talking about corruption,

how I used politicians and all and it got rather serious.

Remember Rodrigo Lara's check?

That man wants to shed some light there and is looking for a connection

between you and I.

I mean, what a problem!

Look, Crisanto,

you don't need to think so much with journalists.

I don't negotiate with journalists.

Precisely because of that is why I have Chile and Mole in Bogotá,

so that they handle whoever they need to.

Yes, Pablo, but not a journalist.

At once.

Without a second thought.

Jorge.

Tell me, sir.

To get a sense of your new partner,

I want you to meet the shooter who'll be in charge

tomorrow to get that situation over with.

Me, sir?

What's up, Amalia? Miguel.

- How are you doing? - How are you?

Emilio came with some strange story.

He said Esteban couldn't come over today for he had been forbidden this friendship.

Indeed.

And why?

We'd prefer Esteban to be around people like us,

with people we know, relatives, with our friend's sons,

it's that.

Good morning, boss.

Can I say a few words?

Why are you still around here? I thought you were working, Jorge.

That's what I want to talk to you about, boss.

I don't feel I'm the best-qualified person to deal with that journalist.

You know what the problem is? You were hired to follow orders,

that's it, and yesterday night I gave you one.

Yes, sir, but look, I'll do whatever for you, I'll stand up for you,

I'll be alert for anything, but killing people

is not my thing, you know?

I understand, so? You chickened out? Or maybe the jungle isn't good for you?

No, boss,

- it's just... - So, will you or will you not obey?

- Boss, but... - I'm asking, because if you won't obey

my orders, then we're in trouble. So, make a decision.

- No, as you say, boss. - See? Go ahead

Excuse me, boss.

I wasn't going to call, but circumstances forced me to.

- Finally, where were you? - It doesn't matter.

What I need is protection, I don't want money, nothing like that,

- what I need is protection. - You've always had it.

- What? They discovered you or what? - Nothing like that.

- I just don't like what's going on. - Now, easy, what's going on?

Look, Colonel, Pablo Escobar isn't killing you anymore, that's confirmed.

But something's about to happen in Bogotá.

Now, Jorge, calm down, slow down, what's about to happen?

Look, Chili and the Mole are there to take care of a journalist.

A journalist? Who? Give me a name.

I don't know.

All I know he's from El Espectador, this newspaper the boss hates.

Where are you?

Look, Colonel, it doesn't matter, what I need is for you to activate

the witness protection program, okay?

I don't like what they want me to do.

Jorge, calm down, you're giving me a lot of information,

be more specific, first tell me what journalist...

¿Aló?

¿Aló, Jorge?

They sent you to take care of me and I ended up taking care of you.

I don't know when I fell asleep.

Thank you.

You know what?

I had a good time with Pablo Escobar.

He was a nice guy.

But, to be honest, I never fell in love with him.

Good for you then, huh?

I never believed what they said about him.

I had no reason to.

Until one day he did what he did to me,

and then I understood that he was the worst human being who ever existed.

In fact, you know what? I'll file a complaint.

No, honey, look.

I'll tell you this,

If you sue Pablo Escobar,

I'll be sent here to kill you before it gets there.

And would you do that to me?

Of course not.

- Carlitos. - Father Julio César, how are you?

I already have the article thing. Only the money's missing,

- when will the First Communion be? - On Sunday.

- And the Confirmations? - Pablo Escobar

is here in the Amazonas with Crisanto Pérez.

Are you sure, Carlos?

It's what I've been doing for months, Mr. Guillermo, trying to link them.

Look, Carlos, if you think you need to increase your safety, do it,

I'll help you with anything from here.

I'm taking care of myself. I'm not calling from the office.

- I'll be okay. - Okay, I have to go. Talk to you later.

Carlos, take care.

We're about to have a scoop that will put Pablo Escobar in evidence

and will clean Minister Lara's name.

That's very good news, Mr. Guillermo.

But what we have to focus on is in your security system,

that can't be overlooked.

Colonel, you were telling me that as I was behind the investigation of Escobar

and the Cartel, I could be the one at risk?

Absolutely, Nicky, not only you two,

I want a list of people who could be at risk to tighten their security.

Colonel, don't you think that news

was leaked by the criminals to silence us?

No, the source who gave me the information is reliable and safe.

Mr. Guiller, but you're the director of the newspaper.

- They obviously won't do anything to you. - It's not that obvious,

they're not playing, they can also do something to him.

Let's do this, I'll leave half of my bodyguards with Nicky

until they give me the authorization.

Thank you, Colonel, but what about you? You're not unprotected because of me, huh?

Relax, nothing's happening to me, thank you.

and I'm going to talk to Ulloa so that tonight they authorize your bodyguard.

Carlos.

Everything's ready, Fabio.

- Let's go. - The cars are waiting for you.

Thanks for everything, see you.

- Peluchito. - Hello, Crisanto.

Crisanto, thanks a lot for your kindness.

Pablo you know this is your house, and thanks for ridding me of that man.

It was my pleasure, and if you need anything, just call me.

Thank you.

Why that face?

Oh, come on.

Thanks for everything, and sorry about his attitude.

He's tortured, beaten, and look how he gets for a dead body.

Thanks for the repellant and for the liquor.

Thank you, boss.

Try not to send it too far because it might go over to the other side.

Relax, I'm going to send it real low even if pieces of the car fall over us.

That guy won't believe it when he sees that thing on top of him.

Don't worry, General, I'm taking all precautions. Yes, sir.

But how could you lose half of your bodyguards?

It's only until the journalist gets her own bodyguard.

Thank you anyway, General.

There he comes.

- His car is the second one. - I have it in my sight.

- Sergeant. - Yes, Colonel.

- Let's change course. - As you wish, Colonel.

- I'm in no hurry. - I have him.

And why did the guy turn?

No, ugh!

Do you think he saw us?

That Colonel has more lives than a cat, brother.

Hello.

Yes, he's our correspondent in Leticia.

Your attention, please, a few hours ago, journalist Carlos Pacheco was murdered

in Leticia, Amazon, correspondent of El Espectador

in that region of the country.

Early indications are that the masterminds of this murder

were The Extraditables, who had threatened in a statement

those they called the extraditioners.

Pacheco was carrying out reports on drug-dealing in the Amazon

and its link with politics.

Now it seems the Medellin Cartel can kill journalists in the Amazon

but can't kill a fucking Colonel in Bogotá.

So, what's your problem now? What's wrong with you?

You know what, Pablo? You're no longer going to boss me around.

Did you forget that man separated me from my wife and daughter?

- I haven't forgotten. - So?

You used to be different, Herber.

Not a madman convinced you're a guerrilla!

That's because you're on cocaine all day long!

And not only that, besides getting old now you've turned into a pussy as well!

A pussy, so what? At least I'm not a traitor like you, you asshole!

This is it, I'll take two down at least.

Go on, shoot me, we all die here, go ahead!

Call me traitor again so I have a reason to blow your head.

Either we kill one another or we calm down.

whatever you say, asshole, huh?

Put it down.

Okay, Gonzalo.

- Leave me, Gonzalo, I can solve... - Get out!

- Are you sure? - Yes, let me talk to him.

- Leave us alone, Gonzalo! - Bullshit!

That's the solution a man would think of as the only way out.

But we women think differently,

we look for other solutions, right?

I was checking that...

Relax, Paty,

Emilio told me what happened with that little boy, his friend.

You should have seen that, Mrs. Enelia,

how humiliating the way that lady spoke to me was.

She said my son could no longer get together with her son, just because.

I know how it hurts when someone humiliates or looks down on your son.

It because they consider Pablo Emilio isn't up to them,

that he's a poor boy with new money,

he's not up to them, he's not on their same category.

Yes, but that's not a good enough reason.

It is for them, they will always see us as low class people with new money.

Then we're really fucked up, because we'll always be poor with new money.

I'll have to talk to Emilio.

You don't necessarily have to talk to Emilio.

Think, why don't you take advantage that you're the wife of a powerful man?

New money perhaps, whatever,

but powerful.

That's an advantage, make the most of it.

Don't forget about that.

You are the wife of a powerful man.

Think about it.

Will you have a drink?

No, I'm fine.

Forgive me, Pablo,

but you have to understand that I'm fed up with you.

I know that, Herber,

but you must understand we are working on that,

we're doing everything possible, the problem is I have a mole,

so I need more time.

Okay, bro.

And when do you think it will happen?

Well, Chili and Mole have precise orders to advance with the operation

as soon as possible, I think it's only a matter of days,

it's only a matter of days, be patient and trust me.

Okay, man,

forgive me.

What happened in the Amazon with the journalist is really serious.

The serious part is that nothing is happening with all those deaths, General.

Carlos was investigating Crisanto Perez' links with the politicians of the Amazon

and also with Pablo Escobar and the Medellin cartel.

I understand.

General, those deaths are useless

if they don't produce something tangible.

Forgive me, but absolutely nothing is happening.

Mr. Guillermo, we need you to cooperate with us,

let us investigate, let us work,

please help us. - You want my help, Colonel? But how?

Because the newspaper is not going to change its editorial line,

nor the information because of some threats,

and excuse me, General, but that's our duty.

We are not asking you to do anything like that,

we're asking you not to reject the security scheme Jimenez is suggesting.

- I must travel to Leticia. - You can't leave the city, Mr. Guillermo,

As for Nicky Polania, I think it's best for her to leave the country.

Could it be that the journalist you said was receiving threats

was my journalist killed in the Amazon?

With all due respect, General, it is time for you to review

and check the information you get.

I didn't know you liked gardening.

If it weren't because those maids are so stupid when gardening,

I wouldn't be doing this with my own hands.

Amalia, well, I'm here because I think we should talk,

we should find a solution for our children.

To really find a way so they can be friends and...

We already had that conversation, and it's definitely a no.

You know something? Pablo and I feel very proud of coming from a humble family.

Well, good, I'm happy for both of you.

What makes you so happy?

That we're new money?

Children of some stupid maids that got rich, peasants with money?

I must ask you to leave now.

I'll leave.

But I want to know this,

Pablo and I perfectly understood you don't want to be our friends.

Therefore, beginning today, you're on our list of enemies.

Good afternoon.

What's wrong with that asshole?

Did he get yellow fever in the jungle or something?

No, those are the side effects of killing people.

Well, I didn't know gunmen got sick.

So what about Marcos Herber?

Okay, we already settled our differences.

But that guy is definitely bonkers.

We nearly killed each other today,

I want to go back to Naples, this smells like shit.

I know, the thing is we still have to make a short technical stop.

Tomorrow we have to visit Mariachi.

I know, man. It would be so nice to be in Sasaima now, but I can't go, brother.

Now is the moment for you to come with the family to relax.

No, this isn't the right time to go.

Look, you can come tomorrow go back on Sunday.

I have to tell you something, they just killed a journalist in the Amazon,

everybody is being threatened, everyone is at risk, it's just impossible.

Jairo, you must understand you can't be in charge of everything.

I don't know, Camilo, I really don't think so, brother.

Why don't you come along with all your bodyguards, we'll make room for them.

Come on over and relax, stay away from everything for a few days, huh?

- I don't know. - We're going on a trip, yes!

Come on, come on, come on!

Children, let your father talk.

Did you hear them?

- Anyway I'll let you know. A big hug! - Okay, brother, good-bye!

- We're going on a trip. - To Sasaima!

- What do we do then? - Let's go!

- Oh, yes, let's go! - Yes, honey, say yes.

At least for a day, honey.

Okay, I'll think about it, I won't say no, but I'll think about it, okay?

But let's go.

Officer! There's a thief here, please, help me, hurry, man.

Don't move, give me your radio, your gun.

Watch in there.

Hurry up!

Don't look at me, kneel down, give me your wallet.

- Don't look at me! - Papers.

- Take your clothes off! - Look.

Look at their IDs, we look like them, right?

- Yeah, sure. - Sure what?

- Take your clothes off. - Here we're in the lion's den, you crazy!

That's where we're about to go man.

Well then, room's like new, we need to wait for the paint to dry and that's it.

Anything else?

I'll just have to wait for this uncomfortable situation to end.

I really don't know how I put up with you for so long in my house.

Yes, you nearly kicked me out once, remember?

Are you getting the money?

You know something?

Your soul isn't as black as your boss'.

But if you keep working for him, you're going to be even worse.

I'd like to see you again, visit you, be your friend, you know what I mean?

Don't be so naive.

Do you really think your boss will let us be friends?

Calm down, baby, I'll deal with that.

Better yet, anything you need just give me a call, okay?

And you know what? Forgive us for everything we did.

Cheer up, smile, I want you to be happy.

Hi, what's new?

We haven't seen each other in a long time, right?

Thank you very much and please do take care of Esteban.

Look, don't worry, you should know your son is safer with us than with you.

- Now or what? - You know what? I'll discard this one,

I win everything, what do you have, huh?

- What do you mean you win everything? - Everything.

Is someone cheating? Are you seeing my game, you idiot?

- Those are the decisions... - Pablo, please, control those people.

Look here, will you please keep quiet so that Mariachi and I

can work in peace? Thank you.

I really don't know if it's because he's always

sniffing that stuff all day long or if Marcos has actually gone completely crazy.

I don't know.

I believe the key to all this and to keep him calm is to let him make decisions

in the important things, that' all. That's why he's always annoyed.

Yes, of course, that's what I told him.

And let's hope that thing with Colonel Jimenez is done with soon,

otherwise, he's going to continue fucking us and then, oh.

Mariachi, I think Marcos Herber could become a problem for the Medellin Cartel.

No Pablo, let's not exaggerate,

he's simply locked up all the time, sniffing and fucking around

but he's not dangerous at all.

An upside down turtle is more dangerous than that guy.

But let me tell you one thing, what a fucking tiresome guy he can be.

Marcos's madness is by no means harmless.

I am convinced he can do us a lot of harm.

So then what?

Are you saying I have to pay a psychiatrist for Mr. Marcos or what?

We must kill him.

You heard that, I'm scared.

- Relax, man, I'll do the talking. - Go ahead.

We can't start killing each other.

- That would really be a quite a fuck up! - Nobody has to know it was us.

Pablo, what we have to do now is be united,

not fight each other like some little fucking brats.

And do you really think I can feel relaxed

when there is a damn drug addict who wants to kill me?

Calm down, he doesn't want to kill you, what he wants

is for you to do your thing with Colonel Jimenez's case, that's all.

Where will we do that job?

I was told it was here, the third window.

Wait, I'll climb.

- Oh, damn. - ¡Hey, hey!

- What are you two looking for? - Good day, sir.

- Sir? Can't you tell I'm a Major? - Sorry, Major.

What are you doing here?

We're looking for the Colonel's place.

- Why? Are you two of his bodyguards? - Yes, sir.

Then why are you here? Why aren't you in Sasaima with him?

Because the Colonel sent us for something he forgot.

And why through the window? Why didn't you ask for the keys?

I'll have to pass a report on your resumes.

- But will you see him again? - Yes, sir.

When you get to his brother's farm in Sasaima, give him this, it's urgent.

How many days have you been in service?

- Seven days, Major. - I said Gálvez.

Seven days, Major.

I can tell. You seem to be half crazy.

Now you go and shave and have a haircut, go ahead!

Yes, Major.

- Do you know where Sasaima is? - Who knows?

So, what shall we do?

Shall we stop to have something to eat or continue?

No, I think we should go on and eat when we get to your brother's.

- What do the children say? - Let's continue!

Honey, I'm so happy, at last we could finally leave the city

and be with our children and have a nice rest.

I was also needing this. My brother is always inviting us and I always say no.

- Yes, it was about time. - When are we going back?

Tomorrow afternoon, Pipe.

How's everything over there?

- I'm okay, daddy. - Are you sure?

Sure.

Careful, man, the boss is coming.

Hey, you barely got here, huh?

- How are you? - How are you, boss?

- Fine, son. - So, what else?

I thought I'd have to go to Cuba alone.

The thing is I won't be able to go with you anymore.

You won't? Why?

I was thinking if maybe Peluche would like to cooperate

and accompany you, Ramada, okay?

Me? But, Pablo, we just got here. Send Fabio...

No, I have to stay here to attend to the business.

You'll get to know Cuba, take the coke

and you just might get a nice beautiful girl, huh?

- Maybe a young boy. - Stop bullshitting me!

- Maybe you can even get two boys. - Thanks, kid, okay.

Pablo, what happened with Mariachi regarding Herber, man?

It's going to be difficult, because he says that killing Herber

is like shooting myself in one foot.

In other words, if we do that, I'll get into fucking problems with everyone else.

And you really think Herber could turn against you?

Of course. Haven't you seen how crazy that jerk is?

Of course he can.

It's damn hard for me to anticipate an operation without Mariachi's support

I'm screwed, you understand? It's check mate!

So then let's just relax, let's not do anything to him, let's leave it like that.

I can relax and be calm

but then what if Marcos Herber decides to come after me first? Then what do we do?

See?

What a nightmare.

We'll help.

Unload!

Sasaima, I've never heard of that place, bro.

It's on the way to Medellin.

Oh, nice, we kill the Colonel and then we go straight home.

- Do you think they heard us? - Did you hear something?

Of course he heard something.

It's time anyway.

This one is for me.

You finally arrived, great!

No, me first.

Suitcases first, young men!

- Pipe. - Natalia, hi!

- Hi. - How are you?

Hi!

Camilo, thanks so much for the invitation.

So you finally arrived, huh?

Who's going to help, huh?

You nearly didn't accept my invitation.

- Hey there. - Hi, how are you?

Very well, thank you. Oh, buddy, you're so big, man!

- Dad, will you help me? - Sure.

Let's go relax and have a real nice time, all right?

All right, gentlemen, I need two by the door,

one on the road,

one covering this area, three in the back.

Get moving.

All right then, Jairo, don't start with your left foot,

let them do their work, you've already assured me things are now calm.

But we must take precautions, we've been threatened.

I understand, but relax a little, we're going to have some fun.

- A beer? - Yes, nice and cold, huh?

Okay, buddy, but please relax.

Gonza, come here.

- Who's my confidence man? - Me?

- Well, let's see. - Yes, sir.

- It's loaded, okay? The lock is off. - Okay, daddy.

We're finally here.

And what now?

Now let's do what we came to do.

We need to find out where Colonel's brother's farm is.

- But I'm hungry. - I'd like to have something to drink.

You can eat while we look for it.

- See you later. - All right then.

Hello.

Hello? How are you, boss?

Not too well, what do you expect?

Here I am stuck to the news and they say nothing, no announcements at all.

Boss, we haven't done the job yet.

But how is it that at this point you haven't done the job?

How long have we been in this operation?

Yes, boss, but don't you worry,

because that man will not come out of Sasaima alive.

You're not there anymore?

Our plan was that you two would enter the barn dressed as chicks.

Yes, that was the idea but

the small chick left on a trip so we had to come and accompany him.

I can't believe this! I have my best men behind this job

and neither one of you has been able to yield results.

Relax, boss, you'll see it in the news very soon.

Don't you promise me anything, Chili!

You have exactly two days to solve this situation for all of us.

You must understand and be conscious of everything that is at stake

when we take this man down. You have two days, and not one more.

Yes, sir, relax.

Hello.
